THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, TUESDAY, AUGUST 15, 1882.

If the authenticity of my statements of fact is doubtsl, any one of the ensinent members of either Houses of Parlament, who are members of your Committee, cari satisfy himself as to the truth of them by moving for the multifarious
. The character of the recent changes made in the penal system of the Colony cannot be .correctly understood withom reference to the varying conditions which have necessarily in. finenced the policy of the Government in dealing with the criniial classes since the island came under the British authority. In the early days of the occupation, and indeed until within the last few years, the adjacent coast of China,papers on Hongkong alaits, relating to the ad from which we are separated only by a harrow strait from 13 ', ' miles broad, swarmed with pirates, who pursued their desperate calling with immunity from punish. ment, excepting that which they occasionally received from British and foreign cruisers. The weakness of the Chinese government and the decadence of trade and industry in the maritime provinces of Quangsi, Quangtung and Fokien, efore the war of 1840 necurred, produced a
state of anarchy along the sea board, enlumat
ing in the Taiping Rebellion of 1853, with which the Native authorities were, for a long period, powerless to deal. A monument outside the city of Victoria, records the severe losses sus- tained by a combined British and United States Naval force in an attack upon a piratical strong. holl, a few miles distant from Hongkong. It was perilous for unarmed foreign vessels to anchor or become becalmed near the coast, pirates fre quently landed within the limits of this harbour, ful in the city itself, on inarauding expeditions, and the island attracted gangs of desperadoes who detical detection by the police, and whin, when pursued, easily found refuge on the main- land, from which they as easily returned. During did not leave their homes 'many years, residents
after dark, nor traverse unfrequented roads in daylight without revolvers.
This was the state of things when the late Sir Richard Maclannell was appointed Govenor of. the Colong, and, at the time, the Colonial trade wanguishing, the revenue was unequal to the expenditure. the gaols were full, and an alarming increase in crime called for severe measures of repression. The Governor argued that, even if he had the will to do so, the resources of the Colony would not admit of his maintaining in- gand the swarms of hardened villains who came fromthe mainland and were arrested by the police, and that it was not to be expected this small
ininistration 1877-81, in the pussession of the Colonial Office, or by the more simply process of applying to me for copies of official correspon- dence concerning a late disgraceful scanlal in the Colony, over which, if the friends of Sir John Pape Hennessy are well advised, they will seek to draw the veil of decent oblivion.

A band of pirates landed and kept off the police while they pillaged the shop of a native goldsmith and nude good their retreat to their boats. A public meeting of the in- habitants was called to consider the policy of the Government and, in a moment of excitement, not unnatural in the circumstances, resolutions were adopted which, somewhat illogically, con- demned the recent measures of leniency towards criminals, instead of reflecting, as they well might have done, upon the Executive, for the proved inefficiency of the police. It was obvious however, from the langunge used by more than one of the speakers, that the real cause of the mecting was a want of confidence in the Governor, who, by personal quarrels with one Colonial officer after another, it was considered, had brought the executive administration to a climax of inefficiency.
