GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.

It is hereby notified, that the right of obtaining Night Passes having been abused, it is deemed expedient under existing circumstances to restrict very considerably the Number of Passes hitherto issued, both to Europeans and Chinese. To prevent unnecessary inconvenience, any Person of respectability requiring extra Passes for any particular night will be able to obtain them from the Superintendent of Police, on the understanding that they are returned the following morning. The words "at large," as affecting this question of Night Passes, will not be held to extend to any Chinese actually accompanying Europeans, whether as Servant or otherwise. The Grantees of Passes are reminded, that no Person should be entrusted by them with the use of a Pass, unless such Person is necessarily employed outside the house for them, or on their business...

By Order,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Victoria, Hongkong, 2d December, 1857.
