PREMIER'S OFFICE,

PERTH, 4th January, 1898.

SIR, I have the honour to forward, herewith, for the information of your Government, copy of an Act for the Registration of Imported Labourers recently passed by the Parliament of this Colony. I also enclose three copies of "The Immigration Restriction Act," which should have accompanied my letter of 31st December, but in which, I find through inadvertence, a wrong Act was enclosed.

I shall be glad if due publicity can be given to the provisions of both these Acts, for the infor- mation of those whom it may concern.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

The Honourable

THE COLONIAL SECRETARY,
