Riots at L'Orient. Serious strike riots have occurred at L'Orient; the mob stoned and stormed the Court, where one of the strikers was being tried and then attacked the Cavalry and Gendarmes who had reinforced the lery, Fighting lasted three hours.

One surveyor, with one indian coolic, was detailed throughout the whole year for special work in connectio with the Land Court.

REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE.

I attach a statement of revenue and penditure for the year 1952.

Mining-Raubs haya buyers at $81, 'but are ex-held for $9. Chinese Engineering are offering

at Ti1.6.30.

The collection of crown" rent has been ren- -dered very difficult owing to the want of a rent

roll based on demarcation. Demarcation is now practically completed and the rent-roll based on it will be ready in the early autumn, when collection of the rent with arrears should be comparatively easy if undertaken with vig: our.

*

Docks, Wharves and Godowns.--Hongkong and Whampoa Docks dropped to $171 early in the weak but have since recovered to $215 with siles at intermediate rates and close with fur- ther buyers at the higher figure. Sales of Farnhams at Ts. 1578 are reported in Shang- hai. Kowloon Wharts are still inquired at $89 Hongkong Wharls have derlined and are

That camphor-trees will grow in the New Territory when placed under suitable conditions is proved by the fine specimens at Ho Sheung Heung. The trunks of seven of these have the following dimensions in circum ference at three or four feel from the ground:- 20 feet 7 inches: 15 feet 9 inches: 13 feet 3-inches: 11 feet 4 inches: 1t feet; 8 feet 6 inches: 6 feet 8 inches:

MEDICAL

Mr. Ho Nai Hop, Chinese medical officer, resided at Taipo and visited periodically the several police stations and villages in the New Territory. He treated Biz native patients more than in the previous year.

J

· Muburial Fever-There was a considerable diminution in the number of cases occurring, especially amongst the members of the police force. This is attributed, to a great extent, to the prophylactic administration of quinine. From the 1st May to the beginning of Decen- per each of the palice, whether European, Indian or Chinese, was given three grains daily.

Cholera.-This disease was prevalent in May. Active measures were taken to check it by the issue of notices warning the Chinese against cating unripe fruit, uncooked vegetables, &c., and advising ten always to boil their drink.

Five office assistants were obtained, foining water. India in the ely part of the year, one having

been previously appointed locally. The num her of maps dealt with during the year was 200, the boundaries being computed and the Artilholdings and fields inked in and numbered as

the sheets were received from the surveyors.

Two Chinese traces were engaged in November to assist in producing copies of the maps for the use of the Land Court.

THE NEW TERRITORY IN 1902.

The following report on the New Territory, for the year

1902, is published in the Government Gazette :—

?

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 19th March, 1913 Sir, I have the honour to subunit the following Repert on the New Territories, for the year 1902.

LAND.

During 1901 the demarcation of the whole of the New Territory with the exception of (1) the" coastwise strips from Tai Lam Chung to Tsun Wan, and (2) Lamua Island, was completed. Branch offices for taking claims were opened at Ping Shan (April 1st to October 18th and at Sai Kung (July 7th to October ayth), on the mainland; and at Mai Wo, Pui O, Turg Chung and Tai O in Lan Tao Island. All claims on the mainland have been filed except for the narrow strip from Tai Lani Chung to Tsun Wan. These are now being received at a branch office at Tsun Wan which it is hoped will be closed in May. This will finish claim-taking on the mainland.

The total number of lots demarcated in 1952 was as follows:-

Total,

The total number of lots claimed was --

The Full Court had 20 sittings during the year; while the President (Mr. Gompertz) held 129 Single Court sittings in the Land.Court and heard in cases under the Rent Recovery Ordinance, 14 of 1933. Rent rolls were made out for survey d stricts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, and for the districts of Tung Chung and Mui Wo in Lan Tao Island,

The rent roll for the rest of the Territory is being pushed on and will be complete before : the end of 1903.

An ordinance to regulate the tenure of land in the New Territory under the style of the New Territories Titles Ordinance 1992, was passed at the close of the year, but has not been put into operation vet.

To enable the cultivated areas in New Kow- toon, and several areas near Sha Tau Kok to be re-mapped on a larger scale, the scale on which the original survey was plotted having been found tuo small in these cases, fresh traver-es had to be made; the cultivated lands south of the old boundary being also included. One Indian sul surveyor, with 6 Indian and 6 Chinese Chain-men; was engaged upon

Sickness was somewhat prevalent among the staff, one saveyor and two Indian coolies dying during the course of the year and six Indian coolies being invalided back to India. Two surveyors were discharged on account of incompetence..

PUBLIC WORKS.

The works in progress, or completed, during 1902, were the following:-

(1) Tai Po Road-With the exception

of sine minor works, confined to the last 5 miles, the whole of the work was completed, the road being available for beksha raffic throughout its entire length. The distance from Tsim Sha Tsui Point, to Tai Po is 18 niles, the

Small-par-This disease was epidemic at Taipp and Sha Tin Districts in the spring of the year, some twenty cases occurring with but one death. Prompt measures were taken by vaccinating all the civil staff, and as far as possible most of the villagers with calf, tymph, and apparently with success as the disease" did not spread to the neighbouring

districts.

Vaccinations.-Free vaccination was carried on at the police stations during the winter months and altogether during the year 336 vaccinations were performed as compared with 78 in igor.

Leprosy-The leper asylum was visited regularly once a week by Dr. Ho. The total number of inmates was 27...

Plague. No cases were reported as having occurred during the year,

GENERAL

*

The people seem to be more prosperous than they were in a small way; a number of new houses are going up of a better class than the existing ones; there are a few new shops; a few new teahouse's show increased traffic, especially, on the cattle routes; the cultivation of pineappless noticeably extending ; and in spite of the fact that pardy is now at $3.90 a pick, there is no real distress are far as can be seen. But with the exception of the Un Long l'owder Factory, and a few establishments in Tsin Wan there is no new undertaking of any size, unless the increased activity of the brick- kilns can be so designated, '

Tree Planting-The number of trees planted amounted to 31,746, the majority of which were the ordinary pine tree. Mest of these were planted along the Taipo Road, and a few at Ping Shan., Included in the total are 2,781 camphor trees planted along the Tai Rpad and 112 castilloa elastica planted below the same road between the fourth and fifth mile-stones.

These figures do not compare favourably with those of the preceding year, when over 11,000 acres were dealt with by a considerably less staff, the reason being that the work during 1952 was confined to much more difficult ground, which consisted of the most hilly parts of the whole Territory.

The new stations at brong Shui and Tal were occuped on the 19th May and 3rd November respectively.

The Chinese force stationed on the border has continued ctive, and it is to a great extent due to its presence that there have been fewer incursions of robbers from over the northern boundary. Increasing appreciation of the pre sence of the Police is shown in the readiness with which reports of all sorts are made to them, although at times clan combinat ons and fear of revenge still make it difficult to elicit

evidence.

CRIMINAL STATIST.CS

Returns of the number of cases brought before the Magistrates are appended. They show a satisfactory decrease in crime and es pecially in crime of a serious nature."

Mr. Hallifax, the District Magistrate in the New Territories, reports that "though the "number of cases brought before the magi- 'irates shews a reduction, there is an ever in "creasing amount of work in the way of arbi- "tration of disputes, nearly all of them trifling: "questions of money, marriage and fung shut "are the most common!
