MINUTE BY HIS EXCELLENCY THE Goyernor.

This seems a very praiseworthy desire on the part of the native merchants and residents who have signed this Petition.

I should be glad if the two Police Magistrates, the Captain Superintendent of Police, and Dr. EITEL would,-in concert with the leading petitioners,-draw up some scheme for my approval to check this crime of kidnapping.

Suggestions by Mr. John J. Francis for the

·Organisation of the proposed Chinese Society

for the Protection of Women and Children.

1. That the Promoters form themselves into a Company under "The Companies Ordinance,

1865." Any seven persons associated together for any lawful purpose may do this. It need not necessarily be for any trading or manufacturing purpose.

2. All subscribers of ten dollars to the funds of the Association should be members thereof, with power to vote, &c., but should not be liable for any further subscriptions or for any contribu-

tion during the existence of the Society, but, in the event of the Company's being wound up and

money being needed to pay off any liabilities, all

existing members ought to become liable to pay

a further sum of Ten dollars each.

(a.) This would be a Society or Company

limited by guarantee.

W. M. Deane,

Captain Superintendent of Police.
