The Colonial Tieasurer. asked whether this bill did not simply leave the practitioners where they were, It was his impression that Dr. Ayres, for instance, could not secure his fees in a private case; and in any case, as a matter of fact, they never saw a doctor suing in a court.
THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, FRIDAY, JUNE 1, 1883.
Mr. P. Ryrie seconded Mr. Johnson's amend-
ment.
His Excellency-Then I understand this is a transcript of a clause passed by the House of Commons
The Attomey Genem-In the House of Lords,
Mr. F. B. Johnson did not think the Europeans The Act was introduced there. The clause as it in this colony stood in need of any special pro- stood, without the words in question, was a tetion with regard to their engagement of dociera transcript of the law which had prevailed could exercise their own common sense, in England since the last Medical Act, 21 and 22 Vic., . 90, but it had been found and they those deliberately, and under a system ineffectual to prevent unregistered persons practis of registration, to engage a
non-registered tioner, he saw no reason why should they being and holding themselves out as qualified prevented from exercising their faculties? He practitioners, and this provision had been adopted did not think it was any business of the state to In the new Act as a more effectual way of pre- take care of them, as this ordinance proposed to venting that. If it is desirable to attain the same It would be better to treat them as possess end here, I should say it as desirable for the ing common sense in their choice of medical Council to adopt the clause as it stands. Advisers, and as to the payment of doctors fees, the ordinary law of contract ought to prevail.
do.
His Excellency The hon. member is not a supporter of what is called paternal Government. If I understand aright this is a transcript of an Imperial Act.
The Attorney-General-The words are taken as nearly as possible from the Imperial Act.
Mr. P. Ryrie-Yes, but there you legislate for England. Here you legislate for all nationalities and also for doctors of all nationalities.
Mr. F. B. Johnson-If the clause is not made retrospective, I shall be quite satisfied.
The Attomey-General-The proper way to meet that would be to propose the insertion of a clause making it non-retrospective, but I may say that I am not sure I would be prepared to support such a clause.
Mir. F. B. Johnson-Then I move the omission of section 7.
Mr. P. Hyde-1 second that.
The question was then put to the vote and the amendment lest by five to three, Mr. Price wup porting Messrs. Ryrie and Johnson. The clause was then adopted.
Mr. P. Ryrie objected to clause io, which provided that the Medical Board should consist of "any three registered practitioners appointed by the Governor, as he considered the constitution of a board of three medical practitioners who were deriving pecuniary Advantage from the operation of the Act would tend to prevent any other medical man from coming into the colony. The chief medical of ficers of the Army and Navy should constitute the Board. The advent of a new member of the medical light by the lesion was not hailed with de
members of the profession.
Ife knew that from long experience, and he thought it would be unsatisfactory to take the decision of three interested practitioners as to whether another man should come in or not.
The Chief Justice supported the clause, on the grounds that the duties of the Board would be merely ministerial, and thatthey would not have. to enquire as te a man's qualifications, bus simply to decide on documentary evidence whether he had complied with certain requirements.
The Attorney-General followed on the same side and also objected to the reflections cast by Mr. Ryrie upon the members of the medical pro- fession in the supposition that they would be in- luenced by self-interest in their action on the Board.
Mr. F. B. Johnson strongly opposed the clause, as he considered it would be a most invidious position for members of the profession to occupy if they had to decide on the claims of
Mr. P. RysicThere are the Portuguese and Chincac. You don't protect them from quacks.
The Attorney-General-The hon. member has touched upon a point which has been ignored in this discussion. The bill is to prevent un- fortunate Europeans from employing a quack.
Mr. F. B. Johnson-1 persons do not register they cannot recover their fees. Now you pro- pose to do more than that and make it penal for such persons to practice. I submit that is wholly
unnecessary.
The Attorney-General-There is one con- sideration: this is really as unprotected a com- munity as there is in any part of the world. You have people from all puris of the world coming here, and they may come to practice medicine, and unless you have some stringent provision may have people with qualifications almost imaginary, or worse.
Mr. P."Ryrie-Well, you have the case of Shanghai
The Attorney-Generz-Well, the mortality of Shanghai is (Laughter).
The Colonial Treasurer-An educated com- munity like that of Hongkong is able to judge more or less of the qualifications of medical men, and I certainly do not think we require such a stringent
provision here.
The Attomey-General-The provision now under discussion does not stand quite on the same footing as the other provisions of the ordinance and is to a certain extent experimental. Under these circumstances I am quite willing to admit the amendment
E
The clause, with the omission moved by Mr. Johnson, was then passed.
In regard to clause 19, which provides that Govemment medical officers and medical officers of the Army and Nayy selving Hongkong on full pay shall be deemed to be registered, Mr. P. Ryrie asked why the provision should not ex- tend to half-pay officers, as it was possible a half-pay officer might wish to settle down here and go into practice.
The Attorney-General replied that a half-pay officer wishing to go into practice here would have to be registered on payment of a fee in the ordinary way.
The object of the provision was that medical officers serving on full pay should not be charged for doing so.
Mr. P. Ryrie I have been told by a medical officer that he could not be prevented practising in any of the British dominions.
The Chief Justice That was the case formerly, but now registration would have to be affected.
The clause was then passed.
Mr. F. B. Johnson proposed the insertion of a clause to the effect that the ordinance should

Mr. P. Ryre observed that certain doctors xpressed the opinion that there ought to be a lay in on the Board.
Several objections were also raised to the term "practitioners, two or three members express ing the opinion that it would be better to appoint medical officerswithout private practice, and even- tually the clause was altered to the effect that the

It would be sufficient if the Act applied to all persons who came to the colony to practise medicine hence forth. It would be open to a new-comer to register or not, and if he did not register he could be subject to all the disabilities arising therefrom.
The Attorney-General in opposing the amend ment said it was not a question of proceeding against Individuals, ror had the ordinance been devised to meet the case of an individual. It was in the public interest and to provide some sort of public protection. Now supposing there were private interests, he would submit they terests of the public.

Mr. F. B. Johnson said he did not propose to renew the discussion, as they had practically passed the Bill in all its clause. What he had just said was simply to explain the ragged nature of the opposition he had offered. Perhaps he might ask His Excellency to give instructions to the Clerk of Councils that notice should be given.
The Clerk of Councils explained that he did not know until the previous evening that the bill was coming on,
His Excellency--The members of both Houses of Parliament have the orders of the day sent to them, and the same rule ought to be followed here. The Chief Justice said he found that in the Mr. F. 3.
