The Attorney-General disclained..any desire on theurt of the government to impose vexations restraints on the Chinese, but remind- ed the unofficial members that the Imperial government was quite free to legislate as seemed best, without regard to the national customs of the people other than British who settled here. He offered, however, to amend the clause so as to exclude from the operations of the Bill girls of any nationality who had been taken in marriage in the way customary, with her nationality, He objected, however, to admit a vague term like "domestic relationship" into the Bill.
The Acting Colonial Secretary, who seconded, pointed out that the second proclamation made by Capt. Elliot in 1841 expressly stated,, whilst promising to secure the social customs of the natives, that his promise should be subject to her Majesty's farther pleasure.
Mr. Ho Kai objected to the Attorney-General's amendment, As ignoring any wives but the first, and making polygamy a crime without warning the offenders.
His Excelency thought the term domestic relationship" which Mr. Ho Kai desired to intro- duce, waston clasic, and was calculated to create difficulty when its meaning came to be defined by n judicial tribunal.
Mr. Ho Kai withdrew the phrase, and substituted "usages."
His Excellency sa objected to the term, as too vague.
Mr. Ho al therefore suggested "customs," and, his amendment being still opposed, altered it so as to read "Providing that nothing contained herein shall affect the marriage laws or customs amongst the Chinese and other Asiatics."
His Excellency had no objection to it then. except that it did not contain the word
"unmarried."
The Acting Registrar-General doubted if it coved concubinage, but
His Excellency did not think that question He then put the was before the Council.. Attorney General's amendment, for which the five official members voled, the four unofficial members opposing it. It was therefore carried. The consideration, of the rest of the Bill was then begun.
The Attorney-General added, the proviso to the penal section relating to the registration of brothels, that the fiat of the Attorney-General would have to be obtained before the owner of such house could be prosecuted.
The Acling Registrar-General objected to the alteration, but it was passed,
The consideration of the Bill being concluded, The Attorney-General moved the addition of a clause suspending the operation of the Act until her Majesty's pleasure was known, which was agreed to.
His Excellency-1 may mention to the hon. member (Mr. Ho Kai) who has taken so much interest in this Ordinance, that if he wishes to make any observations on it to the Secretary of Stafe, if he furnishes me with a copy I shall be happy to forward them.
Mr. Ho Kai-I think it probable the Chinese communityoulit like to address the Secretary of Smite on the subject.
His Excellency-If you will send me any remarks you Met to make I will forward them to the Secretary of State.
The Attorney-General-Imay, perhaps, men- tion that had the matter rested with the I should have drawn the Bill on somewhat different lines placed rather a to those laid down. I was plat take full re- ponsibility for the Bill, I may point out that I did not draft it.

the morning to the manager's house, objecting to going through the same rutine as en former octions; it had been customary before paying. them to put them through a medical examina tion, the healthy ones receiving their wages, and the sickly ones being sent to hospital, and this inspection was the first thing they objected to. In the second place tho monger had, it is enik, issued an order that no man should get more than 2 cents worth of opium a day, and many of the old hands who were accustomed to ten or even twenty cents worth, averred that they could not exist on this small allowance." They aid in Į, the third place that it was impossible in such a climate to work on rainy days, as it resulted in fever the next day. In the end the manager admitted their claims. And then there are froubles with the Barjree; they make contracis in Kudat before the Magistrate there, and sign agreements to build drying sheds for $ Chinese, coolic houses for $50, and other works at proportionate prices. These coolics had been before in Deli, and they say they thought, when they made the contract, that the drying sheds were on the same plan as those in Dell, and on teaching the estates they found that they had to build different houses, containing much mate work, and that the money was not enough; so the coolles complained about it and made a row. Another cause of much trouble on these estates is the food supply. During the five months commencing November 1889 there was, I believe, almost nothing to sell to the coolies but rice and salt, the Manager now and then succeeding in getting a little extra with great trouble from neighbouring estates.
