We took up 3,200 acres, and we proceeded to plant soms 240 odd acter in the first year. From there sults of that planting we were so satisfied that we wanted to make a larger property of it, and we applied to the Federated Malay States Gov erament, and asked to be allowed to take up an others,coo acres, but these sapient gentlemen, in their wisdom, said they thought 1,305 acre was quits enough until we had shown our bona" fides.

The report, the Express states, is an extra- ordinary document, evidently put forward with diffidence, and clearly having a great deal more between the lines than the actual words have the courage to say. After remarking apologetically that they trust that in submit ting the memorandum they will not be con- sidered to be in any way attempting to dictate various petty sessional courts in the county as either to the court of quarter sessions or to the to the classes of sentence they should pass, the visiting committee make it abundantly clear that they think hard labour a terribly cruel punishment, and as a sentence too frequently imposed.
