THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 26TH MAY, 1883.
His Excellency directs that, in the future, no summonses shall be taken out against Chinese d of infringements of Sanitary or Police Regulations, without previous consultation with the gistrar General.
By tact and management, it will not be difficult, in most instances. to gain the support of the Chinese community in carrying out measures essential for the health and welfare of all races and classes of the population of this Colony.
The Governor further directs that the Sanitary Bo shall hold a Meeting on one fixed day in each week; and that its Minutes shall be submitted for His Excellency's inspection at the end of each month.
It will be clearly understood that this Minute does not relieve any Officer of the Government from the responsibility of carrying out steadily his duty according to law; it only prescribes that due caution and forbearance shall be exercised.
The Colonial Secretary will send a copy of this Minute to the Chairman of the Sanitary Board (the Honourable J. M. PRICE), and to the Captain Superintendent of l'olice.
