The humble Petition of the undersigned Medical Practitioners practising in the Colony of Hongkong,

That it is expedient that persons requiring Medical Aid should be enabled to distinguish qualified from unqualified Practitioners.

That at the present time there is no Law defining or regulating the persons entitled to practise medicine in this Colony, except such as was in force in England at the time of the assumption of this Colony by Her Majesty.

That your Petitioners think it desirable in the interest of the persons residing in this Colony that the laws regulating the qualifications of Practitioners in Medicine and Surgery as at present in force in England, or such portion thereof as are applicable and with such modifications as may be deemed fit, should be extended to this Colony, or that an Ordinance for such purpose containing the necessary regulations be passed.

Dated the 3rd day of May, 1882.

Your Petitioners therefore humbly pray that Your Excellency will be pleased to give a favour- able consideration to this Petition.

Petitioners will ever pray, &c.

And your
