THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD SEPTEMBER, 1870.
NOTICE.
441
Any persons who have in their possession old Registration Tickets belonging to Servants who have left or have been dismissed, are requested to send the saine to this Office, with any remarks, on separate papers, they may wish to have recorded.
It would much tend to the more satisfactory working of the Registration of Domestic Servants if Registration Tickets were in every case kept completely out of the possession of the Servants themselves. On the dismissal of a Servant his Ticket should be sent to this Office, unless it can be handed at once
Employer, and should on no account be confided to his own custody.

Registrar General's Office, Hongkong, 28th May, 1869.
