deduction would least consistent with premise. But that the prices ability to detect crime should improve in the direct ratio of their "confusion," is a proposition too grotesque to be entertained for a moment. The other notion, that Sir John's reputation for leniency made Hong kong a favorite resort for criminals, is probably meant to be what it is-laughable. That is a sort of leniency which has the effect of multiplying convictions, and for the rest, we are disposed to hope that the judiciary of a British Colony is capable of preserving its equilibrium even in the presence of such perturbing influences as Sir John Pope Hennessy and his meddling. If "the Chinaman's friend" had taken a little more pains to conciliate local prejudices, a very different inference would probably be drawn from these statistics. Instead of being told that the diminution in the number of convictions since Sir John's departure is attributable to the "greater armness of the present administration," we should doubtless hear that the reforms he had introduced are beginning to show themselves in the improved morality of the colony. Such a statement would certainly sound more rational than a theory that the exodus of the Governor was the signal for a stampede of the abnormal vagabonds his philanthropy had attracted. We repeat that, whatever may have been Sir John's | merits or defects, this indecent haste to draw hostile inferences from insufficient data does not impress outsiders with a very favorable idea of the justice meted out to hint in Hongkong, and lends a considerable colour of truth to the Palf Mall Gazelle's conjecture that he must be "rather a good sort of fellow" after all-Japan

Mr. O'Malley formally moved the second, reading of this bill. The Council then went into committee, and after a few unimportant altera- .tions, the bill was passed.
Mr. Jas. Kussell-1 think this ordinance ought to be proclaimed without delay as all the licenses will soon expire. I don't see why we should not begin to grant licenses before the first of the month, all those in existence really expiring on the 31st March, which is only eight days hence It is impossible that all those licenses can be granted on one day, in fact with the attendant difficulties it takes half a month. As it is, many then will be unable to obtain their license for some time, simply because they could not be all granted at once. I think it ought to be made
