The junk master told the Police that he did not think that he could leave Hongkong earlier than 9 am an he thought it was not fair for this people who were entitled to carry pig wash up till 9 o'clock.

The Police officer replied that in that case the owners would have to take delivery of their pigwash After midnight, which necessitated the junk remaining at the wharf the entire day.

This is not an ordinary dispute between the contracting parties of a Land Exploitation Co., but one between the beneficiaries and an avowedly philanthropic Company, the articles of which distinctly no. Directors would stated that draw any remuneration and that profit, if any, would go towards charity, I have advisedly used the word "beneficiaries" for it was the very term employed by H. E. the Governor when he referred to the scheme at the Council meeting on the 27th ulto.
