GOVERNMENT House.

HONGKONG, 29th April, 1879.

SIR,---I have the honour to lay before you, the request of Mr. KESWICK, an unofficial member of the Legislative Council, copies of some corres-

pondence which he and four other Justices of the Peace have had with the Senior Acting Police Magistrate. Mr. C. V. CREAGH, and the late Neting Colonial Secretary, Mr. MAY.

2. Mr. KESWICK, and the four gentlemen who are associated with him in this matter, desired to hold a meeting of the Visiting Justices of the Gaol, under the provisions of Ordinance No. 4 of 1863. They also wanted Mr. CREAGH to preside. Mr. CREAGH declined, after having obtained through the Executive the Attorney General's opinion. Mr. KESWICK and the four others then demanded a copy of the opinion given by the Attorney General.
