ENVOYMENT About Hong Kong.

Do you know that——————

The District Watchmen's Force was established as the result of fears of trouble' from Canton?

It was in 1866 that the Chinese community petition- ed the Government for per- mission to organise a force of District Watchman to aid the Police Force.

The pelition was based on rumours that "roughs" from Canton intended celebrating the Chinese New Year by making a descent upon Hong- kong with the object of com- mitting extensive robberien under cover of conflagrations.

As a result, the Registra- Ordinance creating the Force was passed in August of the year named.
