握賞銀

9. That all rewards be paid by Government

out of Government Funds under existing regula-

tions, upon the recommendation of a Judge or Magistrate.

There are many other points that would have

to be considered and provided for, but here is, I think, a framework upon which all else needful

could be built upon. An association thus con- stituted would have a position and standing

before the Government and Public which would

entitle it to great consideration and liberal sup-

port.

The Government would have a substantial

entity to deal with, solid guarantees against the

abuse of any powers it might confer, and

legalized means of contracting and directing.

The subscribers would have legal rights and

could exercise efficient supervision over of the

management of the institution and the disposal

of its funds..

Subscriptions would be voluntary and no lia-

bility to pay would arise except in the event of the Company being wound up and unable to pay its debts.

ENCLOSURE IN Letter of Mu. Fung Ming-SHIÁN

TO DR. EITEL.

(Translation.)

The Committee, having taken the suggestions (of Mr. FRANCIS) into consideration, propose to add the following rules, without however deciding whether (this addition) is appropriate or not. They now present (the additional suggestions) respectfully, humbly praying that the paper be laid before His Excellency the Governor who may scrutinize them and decide accordingly.

2. In paragraph No. 2 the word “ subscribers of ten dollars" (to the funds of the Association) might perhaps be altered so as to read "sub- scribers of ten dollars or upwards, &c.”

3. In paragraph No. 8, the Detectives to be engaged might be given the additional power to board junks, entering and clearing, and to search then, as follows:----

(a.) Every Chinese passage-boat or cargo- junk, irrespective of the place whence she comes or the place whither she may be bound should, the moment the an- chor is dropped, permit a Detective to

·board and search ber.

(b.) Every foreign vessel, irrespective of the

place of her destination, should, if she

leaves with Chinese passengers on board,

permit a Detective to board her, before she actually starts, and to search her.

5th June, 1879.
