What can Mr. W. H. BREKETON know of the Opium Question? He told his audiences that he had been afforded by his profession every opportunity of ac- quiring the true state of affairs. The lec- turer has been for years a solicitor in practice in our Hongkong Courts, and alt his profession coukt tell him about opium would amount to next to nothing. He has no doubt defended on many occasions, shopkeepers and others who have been in dicted for selling the drug without a license in this Colony, or for otherwise infringing the rights and privileges of the Opium Farmer, and it is positively certain that these experiences could not have been of the character indicated by the tendency of his general remarks. Has Mr. Brereton lived with Chinese in China, or in Hongkong Has he journeyed through the Kwangtung, Kwangsi, or Foxien provinces, and per- sonally made himself acquainted with the oplum question in all its aspects? Has he ever derived personal benefit so far as health is concerned from indulgence in opium, er has he ever seen any person that has? Has he any statistics as to the number of persons who die annually in Hongkong or Canton from the effects of opium smoking and eating? No, Mr. Baratos knows nothing whatever about all these matters, excepting what he has
