ainst the
Inade
I am of opinion the charges by Mr. M. Tarrant against Chinese Servants of the Government, his letter of the 3rd

of July 18157, are groundless and without foundation. After & careful investigation of the poluminous depositions which were taken by myself, and taking proper observation of the demeanour of the witnesses during their examination, and carefully perusing the translations of the Chinese papers furnished by Mr. Marques, and forming part of the evidence, I am of opinion that Mr. William Tarrant had taken upow himself a task, which it was not in his power to accomplish . He has been led. astray by faled
rumours and idle- conversations,
without a shadow of peobability -
The written documents now be

The

this proposition be not conceded, that British

Some
of the Tares which

To His Excellency, SAMUEL GEORGE Bonham,
Esquire, Governor, &c., fc.
-
HONGKONG, 19th January, 1849. 1. SIR, Circumstances have prevented us from sooner addressing Your Excellency, with reference to the Extract of the Despatch from the Right Honourable Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Colonies, published by Your Excellency for general information on the 17th July last, being a reply to the Memorial of 19th February, 1848, from the inhabitants of Hongkong, praying for a reduction of the existing Ground Rents.
2. It is with regret we learn that His Lord- ship does not consider we have established good grounds for the reduction we seek, or that the measure would be really for the advantage of the Colony; and further, that the large grants that have already been made for Hongkong should seem, in the opinion of Her Majesty's Govern- ment, to preclude the propriety of our asking some relief from a burden weighing heavily upon us, and which we are prepared to shew His Lordship, has already interfered seriously with the prosperity of the Colony, and which it must continue to affect so long as it is maintained without some material reduction. Her Majesty's Government already sufficiently aware of the causes which led British Merchants to settle and to expend capital in Hongkong, and also how much the prospects and expectations then held out have been defeated and destroyed. What Sir Henry Pottinger, in his Despatch of 4th March 1844, states, that those who had taken land and built upon it, had been amply and quickly remunerated,--could only apply to a few speculators in land, and by no means to the bona fide settlers.
are
3. We have already pointed out to Her Majesty's Government, that the present Ground Rents cannot in justice be considered a voluntary imposition on our part; but allowing even that it were so, we are unwilling to believe that Her Majesty's Go- vernment, with the anxiety to promote the in- terests of the community and of the Colony, as expressed in the Despatch from Lord Grey, would wish to assign that as a reason for continuing to exact terms injurious to the welfare of both.
4. We would also respecfully submit to Her Ma- jesty's Government, that it appears to us un- reasonable that the circumstance of large grants having already been made for Hongkong, should be a ground for rejecting our Memorial, inas- much as these grants ought to be considered as made for purposes connected with the protec- tion of the general Trade existing between the Empire of China and Great Britain and her possessions, which grants became necessarily larger, from the unfortunate selection of this barren island by the representatives of Her Majesty's Government, and by no means, we conceive, for the benefit of the few merchants who may have chosen to settle upon it.
5. We are not called upon to say whether the expenditure hitherto has been excessive or not, but if taxation in this Colony is to depend upon the expense of the establishment here for the Govern- ment of the Colony and the Superintendence of Trade, we would beg respectfully to give it as our opinion, that that Establishment has assumed a magnitude unnecessary for the objects for which it exists.
6. As regards the then unsuccessful bidders for lots," it is known to Your Excellency, that no injustice would be done to them by ac- ceding to our Memorial, as few of such bidders would now be disposed to pay the upset prices for the lots they formerly competed for.
7. With respect to the term of the leases, we observe that Her Majesty's Government are dis- posed to grant them in perpetuity. We shall be glad to see this measure carried into effect, although affording no immediate relief to the Colony; provided the liberty of ceding the land and buildings thereon to Government at all times exist, otherwise the grant might in many, if not in all cases, prove rather a burden than a benefit to the community.
8. By reference to Government Tables, we find that the Sales of Land ought to have produced the sum of £15,485, whereas from that source, only £12,616 was obtained in 1848, and by the estimate for the present year no more than £11,195 is expected; shewing a deficit of about 28 per cent, or, after allowing £185 for land re- sumed for Government purposes, a falling off of £4,105, or 27 per cent, 2,645 of this sum is for lots abandoned, upon which both de- posits and rents have been paid, and upon which money has been spent in the erection of buildings or otherwise; £1,029, upon which de- posits only have been paid; and £395 upon which the purchasers have neither paid deposit This abandonment of property, con- sisting of 123 lots, has taken place within the last three years.
In 1846 it amounted to £1,356 upon 21 lots; in 1847 and 1848 to £2,764 upon 102 lots. These facts, obtained with Your Ex- cellency's permission from the Surveyor General and Government Returns, afford matter for serious reflection, and to these we would beg to call the particular attention of Her Majesty's Government.
for rent.
9. It appears evident to us, that Her Ma- jesty's Government have been greatly misled by the Reports sent home with reference to this Colony, Sir Henry Pottinger in his despatch of 224 January 1844, states that the Ground-rents at that date, including the Sale to take place on that day, would amount to about £15,000; but the sale did actually produce £789 more than the estimate, making the total £15,789, which sum, by the subsequent sale of 9th July, would, if Sir Henry Pottinger's estimate had been correct, have been increased to £18,112; whereas the Colonial Land and Emigration Commissioners in their Fifth Report to Government make the total revenue at the last mentioned date (the 9th July 1844) only £9530, shewing a dfference of £8532 between their statement and Sir Henry Pot- tinger's estimate. The sales that have taken place subsequent to 9th July 1844 would, had that estimate been correct, have made the amount of Ground-rents £20,857, whereas by the Official Returns they have never exceeded £14,345.
10. With reference to the trade of the Colony also, the despatch of Sir John Davis to Lord Palmerston of 21st January 1848, is farther calculated to mislead. He makes the importa into Hongkong in Chinese vessels amount in 1846 to 642,700 piculs, value £325,780; in 1847 to 840,990 piculs, value £493,239. It is almost un- necessary to point out to your Excellency that the trade above alluded to (with the exception of that proportion of it in articles required for the consumption of the place) forms no part of the Trade of this Island, and that Denmark might with equal justice arrogate to herself indiscrimi- nately the Trade of all vessels passing through the Cattegat to and from the German Ocean
11. According to the latest list published, it would appear that there are 129 Mercantile establishments in China, of which only 26 are in Hongkong. Most of these have branches at Canton or Shanghae, and it may be supposed that all, with three or four exceptions, who con- tinue here, only do so, either because they are proprietors of houses, or consider life and pro- perty in Hongkong more secure than at Canton. 12. From the want therefore of that protection to which they are entitled, and which they have a right to ask Her Majesty's Government to secure to them, they are compelled at consider- able expense to keep up an additional establish- ment in Hongkong. No doubt, also, the hope that Her Majesty's Government would eventually turu its attention to the relief of the Colony, has prevented many from abandoning their property, as others have already done and are still doing; but it must be evident to Your Excellency that should that relief not be granted, a further falling off in the revenue will be the result.
:

13. The estimated expenditure of Hongkong, exclusive of what may be required for Publie Buildings and Roads, amounts to £39,000. of this about £19,000 is required for the Civil Go- vernment of the Colony, £6,675 to defray the expenses of the Court of Justice, and £11,373 for the Police and Gaol Departments. With the exception perhaps of £3,800 obtained from Licenses granted by Government, the whole revenue,- amounting in 1847 to £31,500, in 1848 to £25,100, and estimated for the present year at £25,500, raised in the form of Ground Rents, Police Taxes, and of other imposts of an indirect nature,-bears severely upon the limited Mercantile community in this place, most of whom, as already stated, find it necessary to have also Establishments at the other free ports, while those who have no Establishments in this Colony, who are deriving nearly the same advantages from this Settlement and from the Court of Judicature as we do, are contributing nothing towards their support.
14. It cannot be otherwise than impolitic to extract so large a revenue from a Colony situated as Hongkong is. The trade, which now affords a Yearly Revenue of more than Five Millions Sterling to Great Britain, Two or Three Millions to British India, and an advantageous traffic to and from other British Possessions, is not carried on here, but almost entirely from other ports and places in the Empire of China. But for the protection of that most important trade, Hong- kong became, as we have already stated, a British settlement. The Right Honourable Mr Glad- stone, then Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Colonies, stated in 1846, that the occupation of the island was decided on solely and exclusively with a view to commercial interests, for the security of commerce, and for the benefit of those engaged in the trade with China shewing that Her Majesty's Government at that time agreed with us in the view we entertain on the subject. The little trade that does exist here is not natural to Hongkong-it consists chiefly in the trans-shipment of goods, affording no revenue to the Colony; and but for the residence here of the few Mercantile Houses, not only this trade, but the vessels that call here on their arrival from and departure to sea, and the small

craft that may be considered to belong to the port, would in a great measure disappear. We concur therefore entirely with Lord Sandon and the Committee in their report to the House of Com- mons, in thinking that "it is not right that the burden of maintaining that, which is rather a post for general trade in the China seas, than a Colony in the ordinary sense, should be thrown in any great degree on the merchants or other persons who may be resident upon it."
15. We do not ask to be exempt from reasonable taxation, but that it should be reduced; that it should be more equitably levied; and that it should not be incommensurate with the benefits we receive from being settlers: and further, that we should have some voice in the expenditure of the money collected.
16. We have found Your Excellency, during the short period you have been amongst us, desirous of doing all in your power to promote the interests of the Colony and of the community; and we feel confident that you will do us the justice to admit, that the facts we have brought forward and the views we have expressed, are not more than our present position here, and the circumstances con- nected with it, call for.
17. We have endeavoured to show Your Ex- cellency that in the opinion of ourselves and others, the expenses of this settlement should chiefly fall upon the Trade existing between this Empire and Great Britain and her possessions; and that under no circumstances should those residing here be taxed in excess of the benefits they receive,
18. We trust Her Majesty's Government will be inclined to view the subject in a favourable light; and in consideration of the objects for which this settlement was established,--in con- sideration of the large sums already laid out by the Civil and Military Departments of Govern- ment, as well as by private individuals, we can- not doubt that Her Majesty's Government will be anxious to use every endeavour to promote the interests and prosperity of the settlement, and which, as so justly stated in the Report of the Select Committee, can only prosper under the greatest amount of freedom of intercourse and traffic.
We have the honor, &c,

To the Honourable the KNIGHTS, CITIZENS, AND BERGESSES of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in Parliament assembled, The Petition of the undersigned Inhabitants of the Colony of Hongkong,
Humbly sheweth,-
1st, That Your Petitioners have made repeated representations to Her Majesty's Government, by Memorials and otherwise, praying for relief from the heavy burdens under which they labour, where- by the prosperity of this Island has been retarded. 2d, That these representations induced Your Honourable House to appoint a Select Committee, to take into consideration the present state of our Commercial relations with China, and report thereon.
3d, That the Report of that Committee was laid before Your Honourable House eighteen months ago; but there is no evidence, up to the present time, that any of the most important re- commendations in the Report have received the attention of Her Majesty's Governinent, except as regards the tenure of the Land, which it would seem to be in contemplation to offer in perpetuity. 4th, Your Petitioners therefore feel it their bounden duty to call the particular attention of Your Honourable House to that Report, praying that measures may be adopted for improving our commercial relations with this Empire, and ame- liorating the condition of the inhabitants of this Island.
5th, That considering the Island as necessary for the protection of the British Trade carried on at the Five Ports-necessary also as a safe dépôt for British manufactures and produce-as well as a safe retreat for all foreign residents in China, in the event of disturbed relations, your Petitioners are of opinion that all classes of our countrymen deriving advantage, directly or indirectly, from the trade with this Empire, should in common justice bear equally the expenses incurred in affording them protection and facility for conducting their business, provided for by the Treaty existing between the two countries.
6th, It is also worthy of notice, that while the expenses of this Settlement, amounting to about £39,000 per annum, bear so heavily on the inha- bitants of this place, they would form but a light

and appropriate charge on the general trade, yielding upwards of Five Millions sterling Re- venue on Tea alone to the British Empire, and Two to Three Millions on Opium, Cotton, and other produce, to British India, Your Peti- tioners therefore pray that the chief part of these Expenses be charged against the Revenue derived from that Trade.
7th, Your Petitioners urgently pray the at- tention of Your Honourable House to the re- commendations of the Select Committee in their Report, in which it is stated,
"That they do not think it right that the burden of maintaining that which is rather a post for general trade in the China seas, than a Colony in the ordinary sense, should be thrown in any great degree on the mercantile or other firms who may be resident on it."
"That a share in the administration of the ordinary and local affairs of the Island should be given, by some system of Municipal Govern- ment, to the British residents."
"That some short code should be drawn up for the more convenient administration of Justice." 8th, Your Petitioners further represent, that although this Colony has been established for upwards of seven years, the Inhabitants have no share in the Legislature either by elective re- presentatives or by nominees selected by the Governor, a privilege which has not been with- held from any other British Colony.
9th, Your Petitioners cannot too strongly ex- press their conviction of the had moral effect produced on the minds of the Chinese by the present system of forms adopted in the Supreme Court, and by the heavy Fees authorized to be levied by the Court, in consequence of which the ends of justice are too often frustrated, whereas these forms and Fees, in the opinion of Your Petitioners, should be the simplest and lightest that circumstances will admit of.
Your Petitioners therefore humbly pray Your Honourable House to take the premises into your early consideration, and to grant such relief as to Your Honourable House may seem proper,
And, Your Petitioners will ever pray.

Copy of a DESPATCH from Governor BONHAM to Earl GREY.
Victoria, Hong Kong, March 12, 1849.
(Received May 31, 1849.)
MY LORD,
I HAVE the honour to forward the fifth Blue Book of the colony, being for the year 1848.
Revenue.
2. The revenue of the last year, as contrasted with that of 1847, exhibits a decrease of 60067, that for 1848 being only 25,072, whereas in 1847 it amounted to 31,078.

An inspection of the comparative statements of the two years, at pages 28 and 29, proves that this decrease has been caused by the resumption of lands by Government to the amount of 1344l. 15s. 5d., and a difference against 1848 of 4761. 13s. 6d., between the amounts of arrears of rent and current rents during the two years 1847 and 1848; the decrease in 1848 being 18887. 17s. in the arrears, and the increase 1,412/. 3s. 6d. in the current rent collected for the half year ends on the 25th December, and between that day and the 31st, rent for that half year to the above amount was received, which, if such early payment had not been tendered, would have been received in 1849; by the loss of rental by the transfer of the Albany-buildings from the Civil to the Military department; by decrease in the receipts from the Opium Farm, arising from the substitution of a system of licences in lieu of a strict monopoly, the former being in force during the whole of 1848; by the spirit licences being for uncertain periods, and from those for pawnbrokers and auctioneers having expired on the 30th November, by which there is only a credit of one and three months respectively under these heads, instead of 12 months as during 1847, which will however be regained in the present year. The fees, moreover, of offices, fees of courts, fines and forfeitures of courts, were very considerably under the sums received in 1847. A decrease of 6801. 5s. 10d. in several items of revenue has also taken place, as shown in the comparative statement, forming together with the sums above enumerated. a total of 68037. 14s. 4d.; but as the year 1848 exhibits an increase of 7971. Os. 71⁄2d. on other items, which should be deducted therefrom, we have a net decrease for 1848 of only 60067. 13s. 8d., as stated at the commencement of this para- Net decrease for 1848 6,006 13 graph.
Expenditure.
3. The expenditure for 1847 amounted to 50,9591. whereas the last year exhibited a sum of 62,308, making an increase of 11,3497. for 1848, which admits of explanation as follows:-
The expenditure on account of fixed establishments and contingencies amounted in 1847 to 34,154l. 5s. 6¡d. while that of 1848 was 39,1327. Os. 7 d., showing an increase of 49777. 15s. 14d. This increased expenditure is, however, not real, but arises from the new regulations from the Commissioners of Audit, dated 1847, having commenced with the last year, in conformity with which one month's salary of all the departments for the year 1847, together with their contingencies, and three months' salary of the Governor, amounting in all to 3991l. 15s. 83d. were paid in January, 1848, and are consequently included in that year's expenditure, though virtually belonging to 1847, as has been brought to the notice of your Lordship in my Despatch, No. 13, of the 27th January last. To this sum of 39917. 15s. 81d. must be added an item of 9857. 19s. 4 d., being the balance of increase on contingent expenditure for 1848, making a total of 49771. 15s. lid.
The miscellaneous expenditure during the same periods amounted to 16,8057.

and to 23,176/. respectively. The increase of expenditure in 1848 over that of 1847, namely, 63717. is to be accounted for by the purchase of a Court-
• house for 50007., and increase of expenditure on account of public buildings, amounting to 2858l. Os. 3d., the joint sums being a total of 78581. Os. 3d., from which, however, it will be necessary to deduct a decrease under the head of

Public Works.
4. There is no public building or work of any description now in progress, save the extension of the harbour-master's pier. This will, when finished, be a work of utility, but its completion has been retarded by its being found that it can only be worked upon at very low tides, which only occur in the southerly monsoon: and I hope that it will be completed during that now approaching. With the exception of a Government house, the colony is not at present in want of any more civil buildings. Your Lordship's Despatch, No. 57, of the 21st September, 1848, rendered it imperative upon me to stop some trifling public works and improvements to roads, bridges, streets, and drains, then in progress ; but when I have the means, such of them as appear to me to be essentially necessary will be completed.
Since the Report on the Blue Book of 1847, the Court-house has been occupied; the Government offices, with out-offices, have been completed and in occupation since the 6th November last; the church finished, and service performed therein for the first time yesterday. The new bridge at the Nullah, near the North Barracks, was opened during the past year. The site for the Government house has also been levelled and prepared, and the gaols have been considerably improved, and are now well ventilated, healthy, and secure. The usual yearly reports by the Surveyor-General are herewith enclosed.
Military Expenditure.
5. The military expenditure has, I am happy to say, considerably diminished when compared with 1847, in which year it amounted to 115,1497., whereas that for 1848 is only 80,778., being a decrease of 34,371.; but over works and other expenses connected with this department I have no control, as they are ordered, completed, and paid for without the Governor being in any way consulted.
Legislation.
6. Under the head of legislation, two Ordinances were passed during the year 1848, No. 1 providing for the manufacture and storage of gunpowder within the colony, and without the limits of Victoria, and No. 2 to amend Ordinance No. 13 of 1845, and establish two or more ghaut serangs annually, according to the requirements of the place. These two Ordinances have been fully reported on in my Despatches, Nos. 73 and 74, of the 15th September last. Two rules of Court, one providing for the execution of writs of capias on persons out of Hong Kong, and the other for the employment and remunera- tion of interpreters to the Supreme Court, were submitted and passed within the and have been since approved of by your Lordship.

Population.
7. The population return for 1848 amounts to 21,514, exclusive of troops; and when compared with that for 1847, we find the following results:-

I have already had occasion to observe to your Lordship, that a large pro- portion of the Chinese residing in Hong Kong are migratory, and that they resort to the colony in proportion to the amount of labour that is required to be performed for the erection of buildings, the construction of roads, and other works, public and private. The decrease, therefore, of 2128 Chinese in 1848, is to be attributed to the gradual completion of these works having thrown a number of men out of employment, who have in consequence left Hong Kong to seek a livelihood elsewhere. That this explanation is the true one is proved by the fact of the number of Chinese traders and shopkeepers being, if anything, rather more than in 1847, and the shops built for their reception being as fully occupied. The stonemasons and other common labourers, composing the migratory population of the colony, have no fixed residences, but construct mat-houses in which they pass the nights and cook their food near to the works upon which they are employed.
Climate.
8. Notwithstanding the great mortality amongst the troops last year, and particularly in the 95th Regiment, to which it was mainly confined, I consider that Hong Kong is as healthy as other colonies and settlements situated within the same degree of latitude, and the sact of the comparatively small number of deaths in the civil, mercantile, and other classes, who refrain from exposure to the sun, leads me to view this climate as congenial to the European constitu- tion, where common precautions are observed.
The fixed white or European population of the colony (including Americans and Portuguese, but exclusive of troops), amounted in 1848 to 689 males and 274 females, or taken together, to 963 souls; and the mortality during the year has been 83 in number or 861 per cent. The Blue Book shows a mor- tality of 125 persons under this head, but I must remark that 42 seamen are included there in the number of deaths who cannot be considered as forming a part of our fixed population. The white population in 1847 amounted to 603 males and 264 females, making a total of 867 souls; and the mortality during the year (excluding 26 seamen) was 55 or 6·34 per cent. From this comparative view your Lordship will perceive that the year 1848 exhibits an increase in mortality over the preceding one of 2-27 per cent. The following statement shows the average number of prisoners in the gaol during the years 1847 and 1848, with the deaths that occurred during the respective periods, four-fifths of whom were Chinese:

A full Report has no doubt been made by the Major-General commanding in China to the proper authorities in England on the subject of the mortality among the troops during the year, but for easy reference I append a memo- randum which will briefly show the number of deaths that have occurred, which, with reference to the strength of the force, shows that the deaths in the European branch amounted to 20-43 per cent., and in the native to 5-14 per cent., being an average of about 12:30 per cent. on the whole force, which may
be taken at 1390.

The Chinese population for 1848 amounted to 20,338 souls, and the deaths were 227 in number, or at an average of 1·12 per cent. During the year 1847 the Chinese inhabitants were 22,466, and the number of deaths was 147, or at an average of 0-15 per cent. It is however necessary to observe that these returns cannot be relied on as furnishing an approximate view of the proportion of mortality in the native population, as the greater number of the Chinese inhabitants when attacked by disease, immediately quit the colony for the pur- pose of going to their families at their native places, where they either die or remain until their recovery.
Your Lordship will find in Dr. Morrison's Report, which is appended to the Blue Book, copious information regarding the sanitary condition and prospects of the colony.
Education.
9. The three Chinese schools for the education of native youths, established at Victoria, Stanley, and Aberdeen, as sanctioned by Despatch No. 109, of 12th August, 1847, from your Lordship, have been in operation during the whole of the year 1848. The accompanying Report from the Committee does not show so great an attendance as had been expected, but I trust there will be an improvement as the object and usefulness of the schools become better known to the Chinese.
The colonial chaplain continues to bestow the greatest attention towards a school for European children of parents who are ill able to support this desirable institution, which, under the able and zealous superintendence of Mr. Stanton, is well attended, though the means for supporting the same are very limited.
Trade.
10. The number of shipping exclusive of Chinese vessels which arrived in Hong Kong in 1848, as compared with the preceding year, is as follows:-
Shipping Tonnage
1947.
1848.
694
700 229,465 228,818
of which 163 imported and 193 exported merchandise into and from the colony. The value of these imports it is altogether impossible to estimate, as there is no establishment of any description to ascertain the extent and value of the trade of the port.
From the returns furnished to me by the harbour-master, I find that 6,022,578 dollars, equal in sterling money to 1,254,703. 15s. were exported from hence during the year, being principally no doubt in return for opium received by the merchants from India. This fact alone will tend to show that the colony cannot but be of very considerable importance to the firms engaged in this species of speculation.
The following table shows in pounds sterling the amount of imports and exports in Chinese vessels during the years 1847 and 1848, drawn up from statements furnished to the Registrar-General by the Chinese traders and dealers:-

The export of sugar from the colony, which amounted in 1847 to 144,8271., has increased in 1848 to 147,936. 15s., showing an excess over 1847 of 31097. 15s.
No great dependence can be placed on these statements, for with the view of preventing all interference with the native traders, and of giving every encou- ragement for them to resort to this port, no regular returns of the imports or exports are ever required; and these returns have therefore been compiled from statements given in by the local traders. But as regards the item of sugar, there is reason to apprehend that the return is correct. The Registrar-General reports the imports in native vessels at 150,000 piculs, while the harbour- master reports the exports in square-rigged vessels as follows:-
To India
To New South Wales To Shanghae.
Piculs.
51,056
15,689
93,522
160,267, or 9427 tons.
I have consulted many of the mercantile gentlemen of the colony as to the : state of the native trade, as well as others who I considered had the means of being acquainted with, and who had moreover paid attention to, the subject, and by all I have been assured that the trade is gradually extending; from none have I heard any complaints of the native traders being in any way molested, and the only suggestion that has been made to me for its further extension, is the abolition of the opium farm, or rather that part of it by which persons are interdicted from dealing in opium, in quantities less than one chest without a licence.
This subject was brought to your Lordship's notice in my Despatch No. 18, of the 14th ultimo.
I beg to annex the remarks of Dr. Gutzlaff on the Chinese trade of the colony for the year 1848.

12. The advantage of general police control over the whole island continues to be productive of beneficial results. Crime has decreased considerably. Indeed, when the locality of this island is borne in mind, the facilities it offers as a refuge for all desperate characters from the main land, and the nests of pirates in the adjacent waters, it is to me a matter of surprise that the amount of crime is not much greater than the returns herewith enclosed exhibit; and I consider much credit is due to Mr. May for the manner in which the arduous duties of the police have been conducted.
I beg to forward a letter from that officer, accompanied by two documents which fully exhibit the number of persons apprehended during the years 1846, 1847, and 1848, and the manner in which they were disposed of before the magistrates and the Supreme Court respectively, during the past year.
By reference to Enclosure No. 8, your Lordship will see that out of 157 pri- soners tried before the Supreme Court last year, only 41 were convicted. This arises partly from the migratory nature of the population, and the hitherto infrequent holding of the criminal sessions, Ordinance No. 1, of 1849, for the

Surveyor-General's Office, Victoria, February 9, 1849.
I HAVE the honour to submit my annual report upon the works that have been exe- cuted during the year, also upon the general state and repair of all civil roads and works in the island,
1. Roads and Bridges, district of Victoria.-The Queen's-road and all the streets in the town have been kept in a tolerable state of repair during the year, by the employment of convict labour thereon, the only actual expenditure having been for the cutting and removal of some rocks in Wyndham-street, Req. No 2, of 1848, which was executed for 107. 16s. 8d.; and in the Wongneichung Valley repairs, to the extent of 21/. 13s. 4d., were paid for under Req. No. 9, of 1848.
The estimated value of convict labour expended in repairs has amounted to 3297, 17s. 8d. The new bridge at the Nullah North Barracks was opened during the year, which has rendered that portion of the road safe and serviceable; the expenditure thereon during the year amounted to 4431. 15s., leaving a balance unpaid upon the estimate of 67. 11s. 11d. One of the small wooden bridges (Stewart's) in the Wongneichung Valley being in a precarious state, I was directed to build a stone arch in lieu thereof, which was done for the sum of 45/. 16s. 8d. Req. No. 42, of 1847. I have examined as closely as possible the three other wooden bridges in the valley; the main timbers are apparently sound; some of the lower sheathing-boards of the large bridge are partly decayed, but as the upper course is perfectly sound I do not think it unsafe, or that repairs are demanded at the present moment. An expenditure of 2857. 16s. 10d. has been made for the construction of stone-surface drains (Rep, and Est, 13, of 1845), mostly in the Chinese Town, which is very much improved thereby; and the drainage and streets in that district may be said to be quite finished, with the exception of a small portion of Hollywood-road, from thence to the Queen's-road, which it is difficult to keep in order; it, therefore, would be advisable to complete the proposed service for that reason; besides, the road would be rendered safer for carriages than it is at present, for a portion of the road is an embankment which has no parapet thereto; and the stone drain, with a raised footpath, obliges both horsemen and carriages to keep the centre of the road. The same may be said of some of the other roads and streets in the town, some of which are much frequented, and very dangerous from the want of some protection. Upon this service there is a balance. unappropriated of 5301. 2s. 9d. Of the under-ground drainage little required to be done; the balance, 797. 14s. Id., unexpended (Rep. and Est. 11, of 1844) was applied to the formation of two drains; one across the Queen's-road, centre of Parade-ground; the other at junction of Albert-road with the Albany-road. A brick sewer to join the Ordnance sewer, east of the Nullah Bridge, was authorized under Rep. and Est. No. 8, of 1847, amounting to 897. 13s, but it is not yet completed, in consequence of the extreme difficulty of excavating the rock, which must be burned before it can be quarried out, which is a tedious and expensive opera- tion, Under the authority of Rep. and Est. No. 10, of 1844, I expended the sum of 371. 68. 2d. for work in the West District, to complete the services undertaken originally, and have closed the account, leaving the sum of 21. 10s. 6d., which is not required. The Queen's- road, from the Ice House to the Nullah Bridge, had a double row of trees planted along the footpaths, which have thriven very well indeed, considering the nature of the ground, the service having been completed for less than the estimate. (Req. No. 28, which was only authorized to the amount of 150%) I was directed to expend the balance in planting such parts of the town which might be improved thereby. I therefore planted a portion of Albert-road, Arbuthnot-road, a portion of the Queen's-road near the Gap, and opposite the Post Office, &c. The sum expended during the year amounted to 1027. 178., the remainder being due to the contractor, and for the purchase of straw bands, with which I have been obliged to protect each tree to preserve them from the goats. There are several other roads and streets in the town, and some unoccupied or impracticable building lots, which if planted would be a vast improvement to the town, not only as to its appearance, but, I understand, equally so in a sanitary point of view. The harbour-master's pier (Rep. and Est. No. 6, of 1847) it was found necessary to extend (in consequence of the great deposit of silt) to a distance of 57 feet, as that distance is entirely dry at low-water spring tides during the south-west monsoon; and as I anticipate that the mode of construction I have odopted for the extension (by forming an opening or archway for the passage of the water) will prevent, in a great measure, the accu- mulation of silt, no further extension will be necessary.
The tides during the north-east mon- soon being very high, I have been unable to get in the foundations at the extreme end, which I proposed to do without any coffer-dam; the arch, however, has been keyed in; and when the paving is finished the work will be suspended until April: 2007. was expended thereon up to the end of the year, leaving a balance on the estimate to complete it of 1647, 0s. 10đ, The total expenditure during the year in the three districts of Victoria, exclusive of buildings,
*
STATE OF HER MAJESTY'S COLONIAL POSSESSIONS.

has amounted to 12777. 15s. 9d.; being on account of roads, 1727. 13s. 2d.: stone drains, 4157. 10s, 11d,; bridges, 489/. 11s. 8d.; marine works, 2007.
The convict labour being exclusively confined to the town of Victoria, I proceed to detail the services performed by them during the year. The work executed by the convicts for the year last past may be classified under four heads; viz., repairs to roads, additional work to roads (formerly made by the convicts), clearing and levelling ground round site of Government offices, and miscellaneous work.
1. Repairs to Roads and Streets, including the Queen's-road, have been effected upon a length of 5516 yards, which, ealculated upon the rate I usually adopt for convict labour, viz., 5d. a-day, gives an average of 6d. per yard, and amounts to 1517. 12s Std. This service comprised the repair and construction of rough-stone drains, removal of slips of earth, repairs to embankments, &c. Some portions of the steep streets are exceedingly difficult to keep in repair, and in several cases the work has ranged from 9d. to 1s. 9d. per yard; the streets and roads which are nearly horizontal are kept in order for 2d. or 3d. a-yard.
2. Additional Work to Roads, &c.-This comprises widening the road from the Ice-house to Pedder's-hill and Albert-road, from the latter place to the Government offices, and from the Ice-house to the church, &c.; in executing which, 2986 cubic yards of material have been cut and removed, the value of the labour being 847. 7s. 11d., or 7d. a-yard. This is a very fair average price for this kind of material, for it is seldom, if ever, contractors can be induced to undertake that work under 10d. In addition to the above amount, labour equivalent to 117. 13s. 9d. has been expending in consolidating the heavy embankment near the Murray Battery, which settled frequently and considerably during the rainy season.
3. Levelling Ground round Government Offices.-This service has consisted in clearing and levelling the area adjoining the above building and the Murray Battery, to prepare the same for grassing, planting, &c., and comprises all that work not estimated or contracted for under Rep. and Est. No. 5, of 1846. Portions of this ground were exccedingly rough and full of heavy stones, and in consequence all the work could not be measured; portions of it, however, were so, some of which cost Is. 41d. per yard, but the generality of it has been done under 9d.; the total amount of labour expended thereon up to 31st December, is equal to 917. 14s. Ild. A considerable quantity of work is still required in this locality, the heaviest of which consists in sloping the ground to the rear of the Government offices and church to the road, instead of leaving it, as at present, horizontal. This work will be a great improvement to both buildings. It is exceedingly rocky in some parts, but soft in others; in all probability will cost 6d. per yard throughout; there is 23,259 cubic yards in that area, to be carried an average distance of 400 feet; so that I expect the work will occupy the labour of the whole It may gang of men, or 60 men, for 12 months at least, assisted by stone-cutters besides. therefore be estimated that the above work and the contemplated road to Government House will occupy their time for two years.
4. Miscellaneous Work is equivalent to the sum of 391. 5s. The number of convicts employed was 18,151; and the total value of labour performed amounts to 3787. 14s. 3d. During the year a large supply of new tools was demanded, which, together with repairs, has cost the sum of 977. 13s. 4d.; the value of the tools in use may be estimated at half of this amount, or 481. 16s. 8d.; therefore, if that sum be deducted from the above amount, the net value of all work performed will amount to 3291. 17s. 8d., being 267. 1s. 5d. more than last
year.
Upon the roads in the Wongneichung Valley, 27 miles, the sum of 217. 13s. 4d. has been expended in repairs, being less than 4d, per yard.
Road Wongneichung to Saiwan, 5 miles.-During the early portion of the year (until May), the road surface was maintained in tolerable order for the sum of 137. 15s. Od., Req. 39, of 1847, and 3 of 1848; the wooden bridges' repairs, Req. 31 and 38, of 1847, cost 33l. 19s. 3d., so that the total expenditure amounted to 477. 14s. 3d., or 14d. for the half-year. During the heavy gales and typhoons in the latter portion of the year, both roads and bridges sustained much damage, and as no expenditure has been sanctioned to rectify it, each succeeding storm and heavy rain adds considerable injury thereto, and this, together with the continued deposit of débris from the quarries, the ravages of the white ant, and encroachments of the sea, will in a short time obliterate all traces of the road; at least all those parts made along the coast. The road, although passable for horses, is unsafe in several places.
Road from Saiwan to Stanley, 43 miles.-The final payment on account of the construction of a portion of this road was paid in the beginning of the year, amounting to 731. Is. 3d., Rep. and Est. 2 of 1846. The repairs to road surface amounted to 627. 10s. 2d. on Requisi- tions 34 of 1847, 3 of 1848, and 7 of 1848. Bridges required no repair; the rate per yard for 6 months being 1d.; the road is now in tolerable order.
Old Road to Tytam, 3 miles. This road, from its exceeding steepness, is always more expensive than the other roads, although it is only 5 feet wide on an average, the repairs to the surface amounted to 297. 5s. 4d., to the bridges 187. 10s. 10d., on Req. No. 45, of 1847, and 8 of 1848, the total expenditure being 477. 16s. 2d., or 1 s d. per yard, being an equal rate with the last-mentioned road, which is twice as wide. The road is still in good repair, except in a few places.
Road from Victoria West to Aberdeen, 41⁄2 miles.-The repairs to this road amounted to 761. 18s. 4d., Req. No. 43, of 1847, and 6, of 1848, for the surface; repairs to wooden and bridges, Req. No. 30, of 1847, 367. 2s. 6d. ; and coal tar, Req. 45, of 1847, 61. 5s. Od. ; the formation of a stone arch in lieu of a decayed wooden platform 34l. 15s. 10d, Req. 40, of 1847, so that the total expenditure has amounted to 154/. 1s. 8d., from which it appears that the rate per yard amounted to 4d., including the stone arch; this rate, strictly speaking, is chargeable on a portion of the previous year and on a greater length of road, repairs to the

road surface having cost in February the sum of 657., and the stone arch also was commenced in January; therefore the average rate between the two years should be taken as the general probable amount for repairs in the year, or say 2d. per yard. The road being nearly 15 feet wide throughout is the cause of the difference of rate between it and the other roads. It is now in a very good state of repair, and sustained little or no damage during the typhoon.
Road from Aberdeen to Stanley, 7 miles.--This road estimated for, Rep. and Est. amount, 49657. 14s. 1d. (No. 1, of 1847) was intended to have been 15 feet wide throughout, with stone arches and parapet-walls in places where they were most required. Sir J. F. Davis, however, reduced the width to 10 feet and curtailed other works, and only authorized the sum of 27057. 14s. 4d. to be expended; of this sum 3127, 16s. 4d. was expended during the year 1847, the expenditure during the last year being 19227. 128. 1d. Upon this line are some of the heaviest stone bridges in the island, which considering the Chinese are not in the habit of building such, have been very tolerably executed, and particularly so, as the hot weather and frequent sickness of the overseers prevented their constant attendance thereon. The greater portion of the road was in the hands of the contractors at the time of the typhoon and previous rains, and therefore the expense of repairs fell upon them, but in general the damage was not Near the excessive considering the unconsolidated state of the filling, unfinished drains, &c. south end of the town of Aberdeen for a distance of 100 yards, and in Deep Water Bay for about the same distance, the wash of the sea carried away a considerable portion of the road; the former had been taken off the contractor's hands, and has not yet been repaired; the latter the contractor was obliged to rectify. In sheltered bays on the coast I formed the roads originally 4 feet above the high-water spring tides and 6 feet in other parts, but I now find that not less than 10 feet should be fixed upon for the level of a coast road, and even more than that if it is much exposed. If this road is to be maintained and properly protected, as indeed most of the roads require, there are several works which I would recommend to be executed, viz., a bridge and causeway at the waterfall in Staunton Valley, a parapet-wall on the hill above Deep-water Bay, and a bridge leading to the Sands, parapet-walls in two other places near Repulse Bay, and a bridge there also; these places are either exceedingly dan- gerous or inconvenient, as the road has either been cut out of the side of the cliff, or a rough retaining wall built, which leaves the drop from the road nearly perpendicular, and in one place the fall is 100 feet. The additional bridges are required, for at high water pedes- trians must make a defour to pass the stream, and equestrians must wade or swim their horses over the ford. The details of expenditure during the year being given in full in the usual return, I shall merely remark that the disbursements on the new works in the formation of roads, bridges, and drains have amounted to 32217. 11s. 7d., and repairs, exclusive of con- vict labour, to the sum of 2157. 2s. 6d. for roads and 1867. 10s. 1d. for bridges.
2. Buildings. The police station at Aberdeen, although nearly finished at the termination of the year 1847, was not completed until May; the contractor, having far exceeded his time, was fined by his Excellency the Governor in Council in the sum of $100, which was deducted from the balance due on the contract; the work has been satisfactorily executed, and is now occupied by police; the payment on account for the year amounted to 10887. 6s. 9d., making the total expenditure 25981. 2s. 5d., exclusive of some stores supplied by Ordnance Depart-
ment.
For cutting the site of the church and Government offices, Report and Estimate, No. 5, of of 1846, the sum of 1367. 12s. Od. has been paid; the balance on the Estimate 341. Os. 10d, will be expended in cutting rock and sloping the ground cast of the church, previous to the opening of the same.
Gaols. On account of Rep. and Est. 5, of 1845, the sum of 1107. 8s. 4d. was paid, making the total expenditure 40457, 14s Od., leaving a balance of 4231. 12s. 1d. for the construction of some works which it is intended not to carry out; the service may therefore be said to be completed. The final payment, 627. 10s. Od., was made during the year on account of the boundary walls to gaol, Rep. and Est. No. 9, of 1846, which have been completed in a satis- factory manner. In consequence of the recommendations of a Board, which was appointed by Sir J. F. Davis, to make certain inquiries and suggestions regarding the gaols, for increasing the accommodation, improving the ventilation, supply of water, &c., a Report and Estimate, No. 4, of 1847, was prepared by me, embodying the whole of the propositions, and showing their cost of the same, would amount to 16347. 3s. 4d. At this period the gaol was very crowded, and an expenditure of 631. 15s. Od. was sanctioned for the purpose of increasing the ventilation at once; and the report was transmitted for the consideration of the Right Honourable the Secretary of State, who, upon the report of Lieutenant-Colonel Jebb, directed further inquiries and examination of the gaol, and it appearing that all the services proposed were not then necessary, His Excellency S. G. Bonham, Esq., in Council, sanctioned the expenditure of 2081. 11s. 7d. for an additional washing-room, and the formation of a covered way to connect the gaols A and B, &c. ; at the termination of the year 1157. had been expended upon the service. The gaol buildings sustained very little damage during the typhoon, the estimate of the same being 15. 17s. 5d.
It having been thought advisable, by his Excellency the Governor in Council, that Coolies for hire should be confined to particular districts in the town, and that suitable covered stands or buildings for that purpose should be erected, a Report and Estimate, No. 7, of 1847, was accordingly prepared for the same, and the work commenced upon in March last and com- pleted in June, the cost of the service being 1237. 5s. 2d.
Colonial Church. This building has not progressed so rapidly as was anticipated, much inconvenience and delay having been caused by the tardiness of the manufacturers of the windows, which have not even yet been received. It is much to be regretted that the funds

for building have been found insufficient, the prices in the estimate having been originally framed too low by the late Surveyor-General, and it has therefore been found impossible to proceed with the tower above the ridge of the nave until more money is placed at the disposal of the trustees; from estimates I have lately made, the sum now required amounts to 8761. 17s. 4d. The church, however, has been so far completed that service may be performed therein if necessary, but the trustees think it better to defer the opening until the beginning of spring. The expenditure thereon during the year amounts to 3816l. 17s. 4d.
;
The Miscellaneous work to Buildings comprises removal of stores and protection of buildings transferred to my charge, erection of flag-staff at Governor's residence, and pulling down the old Treasury for the preparation of the site for Government House; these services were authorized under Req. No. 47, of 1847, and 14, 16, 17, of 1848, and amount to 477. 14s. 8d. of this amount, during the year, 247. 7s. 1ld. was paid. The final balance for the repair of police stations and guard-houses, repairs of 1847, Report and Estimate, No. 3, was paid, during this year, amount to 277. 1s. 8d. Additional room being required for the Governor's servants, a small bungalow, abandoned by the proprietor on lot No. 141, was repaired for that purpose, which cost 17. 15s. ld.
Some depredations were committed at the cemetery; the entrance gates and doors of the chapel were injured, the hinges stolen, &c.; these were repaired and replaced for the sum of 647. Os. 6d., Reg. No. 36. Ordinary repairs were effected to the bungalow on Hospital Hill upon its occupation by a new tenant, Req. No. 48, 581. 6s. 8d.; the tenant expended about 1207., and abandoned the building after the typhoon of the 1st September, which stripped off a considerable portion of the roof-tiles, caused the failure of a portion of the stable wall, and other damages unnecessary to mention, which were estimated at 1157. 2s. 10d.
To the debtors' prison, magistracy, Sukunpu Police Station, Court-house, ordinary repairs were carried out for the sum of 267. 13s. 4d. The repairs to the residence of his Excellency the Governor during the year amounted to 14. 15s. 7d. The police stations at Sookewan and Stanley were improved and repaired to render the accommodation of the inmates more comfortable and healthy, roofs re-tiled, and floors ventilated, &c., estimated at 307. 15s. 11d. ; expended 147. 15s. 10d., Req. No. 12, of 1848.
Storm Repairs. The island was visited by a storm or typhoon, as it is here called, which raged for five or six hours during the night of the 31st August and following morning. During the summer months heavy gales and storms always occur; but since the year 1841 nothing like the severity of the present one has been experienced, and, as might be expected, considerable damage was done to most of the houses in the town; some were entirely stripped of their tiles, walls injured, windows and venetians or jalousies blown in, and altogether the appearance of the town exhibited the terrible effects of the storm. The residence of his Excellency the Governor suffered as much as any in the town, but these repairs necessarily fell upon the landlord, as the house is not Government property. In the Report and Estimate relative to these damages the following are the amounts estimated for each colonial civil building--

Of these several items his Excellency the Governor decided no repairs should be executed on account of Nos. 1, 11, 14, 17, 18. The police station at the Gap was exceedingly damaged, the upper part of the east wall blown down, the north wall nearly destroyed, the whole of the tiles completely stripped off the roof, all the windows and venetians on the north and east sides broken to pieces, and, in fact, the whole a complete wreck; the inmates were obliged to abandon it during the storm, and as the site has generally been considered incon venient for a police station for the present requirements of the town, the repairs were disallowed, and arrangements made for locating the police elsewhere for the future; most of the doors, windows, and venetians, were removed and placed in store.

CHAS. ST. GEO. CLEVERLY,
Surveyor-General.
Surveyor-General's Office, Victoria, February 19, 1849,
I HAVE the honour to make the following Annual Report upon the state and progress of this department during the year ending December last.
The superintendence of the works executed by the department devolved temporarily upon Mr. Strachan, who was appointed clerk of works and civil engineer after the decease of Mr. Pope, and he continued those duties, until the arrival of the Honourable W. Napier, as Mr. Pope's successor, in July last. In the office I received great assistance from Mr. Strachan, as a draughtsman, in the preparation of the plans for the proposed Government House, which, together with the detailed estimate, were transmitted to England in Report and Estimate, No. 1, of 1848.
The contracts and working drawings for the Aberdeen-road were all completed early in the year; upon this road I subdivided the work into 17 contracts (to suit the means of the generality of contractors who tender for such works at a distance from Victoria), and thus the whole work progressed very actively, and I was in hopes of seeing at least all the earth-work quite finished before the hot weather; but as it proceeded, many of the contractors found they had miscalculated (that is to say, if they ever did calculate the cost of the work); some absconded, others I had great difficulty with, to force them on with their work, and some I had to finish by days' labour, and charge the amount upon the respective contracts.
This system is advantageous in some respects, as the competition is so great that prices are lowered; most of the men, however, guess the amount of their tender; the result, therefore, is quite a chance; if they fail, they generally abscond, leaving the labourers unpaid, and it has frequently happened that I could not induce other men to go upon the work until all payments due upon it had been made; with masons, this is particularly the case, in consequence of the trade union, which delayed the completion of three contracts for bridges; the fault, no doubt, The sureties in these cases are originated with the contractors, who could not pay the men. applied to, who are compelled to complete the services, or pay the money due, and leave me to finish the work, and pay the balance remaining, if there should happen to be any.
The completion of the Aberdeen police station was the only new work out of the town which required our attention during the year; this being finished, the clerk of works was enabled to give more time and attention to the road above alluded to.
In my previous Annual Reports, I have dwelt at considerable length upon the difficulties and danger we have had to encounter in executing out-of-door work at a distance from Victoria; the difficulties, more particularly the getting access to our work, have been much improved by the opening of the roads, that the same time and fatigue are not now necessary; thus much of the danger is avoided, but it is and ever must be great in this climate, where exposure to the sun has never been done with impunity. I have to record the death of one of the overseers employed upon that road, Mr. Lowrie; and two of the others went into hospital with fever, and were subsequently discharged from the employ.
In Victoria the completion of some services to the gaol, together with the erection of the Coole stands, sundry contingent works to buildings, in repair or otherwise, the extension of the harbour master's pier, the plans and estimates for such, and the duties of supervision, occupied a very considerable portion of our time; the greater part of this, however, falls upon the clerk of works, in addition to which his services were necessarily demanded in visiting the roads and superintending their repair, which from the want of shelter along the road, was only performed once a fortnight up to July last, when the further repair or maintenance it was indispensably necessary to stop. In alluding to this circumstance I cannot but express my regret at it; for although repairs to roads are heavier here than in many other places, I am confident the total annual repairs would not exceed 5001. upon a length of 30 miles of road, and with this sum I could effect several improvements in the usual manner upon the sanction of the Governor. The question has arisen, of what use are these roads, there being little or no traffic theron, or likely to be so, from which any revenue might be derived; the country is very thickly-peopled and but little cultivated, and it is now stated they are of no use in a military point of view; of this I can be no judge, but certainly during the last command it was thought advisable to complete the circuit of the island, and to effect a means of communication with each of the military stations by road, and which it is not always practicable to do by sea; with this object

and the improvement of the island as encouragement to settlers, both native and European, I conceived the roads were made, for the former for the cultivation of the land, and the latter for country locations, of which there are numerous available sites, in several apparently healthy and in beautiful parts of the island. I can speak positively that the Chinese appreciate these roads; and although, as before stated, the traffic is not considerable, it enables them to bring their produce to market in a safer and more expeditious manner than by sea; and only in the vicinity of the roads are the cattle driven to graze, for they are always brought home at night to Victoria. I am of opinion that it would be unwise to abandon the roads altogether; and if real encouragement were given to settlers for the cultivation of the ground, and the land given rent-free for a number of years, we should have a respectable resident class of inhabitants, who would be enabled to supply the market with every necessary produce; and the rearing and feeding of cattle might be conducted entirely upon the island with advantage, instead of being obliged to import everything for the consumption of the community both ashore and afloat. All these objects I think might be gained if the roads were maintained in good order; and further be the means of deterring strangers from effecting the robberies and depredations which, before the roads were complete, and which upon the old Stanley road were of such frequent occurrence, particularly when it was out of repair, and Europeans seldom travelled it.
In the town of Victoria some additions have been made to the drainage, particularly in the Chinese district, Ta-ping-shan, where it was much needed; there is, therefore, not that accu- mulation of filth about the place that formerly existed, but this the Chinese do not care about. It is extremely difficult to keep the drains clear, or at least prevent a deposit at the mouth of them; the police see that the streets are cleaned; every morning the rubbish is swept into the mouth of the drains and there left, and if we have no rain for a long time they become choked, and cause much damage to parts of the street by the overflow. To correct this as far as pos- sible, the Coolies of the department are employed, as well as in executing small repairs over the district.
I have found these four men and the overseer of the greatest possible service to me in this particular, as well as in executing other services demanded from them as messengers, chain- men, and assistants in surveying; during the latter part of the year they have been in attend- ance upon the civil engineer and clerk of works, whom (as most of the works were stopped or finished) I have been able to employ upon the survey of the town, to include all the houses and other works which bave been undertaken since the first survey made by me in 1843. This I have no doubt he will be able to complete during the cold season. The next service I pro- pose to adopt will be a particular survey of the road round the island, with a sketch of the ground on either side, for such distances as may be considered advisable, for the purpose of showing its capabilities either for agricultural purposes or otherwise; but this cannot be com- menced until the next cold season.
The employment of the convicts engages much of my attention, assisted by Mr. Bowden, road overseer, who is also employed as a clerk, in which capacities he has shown himself most useful, and given me great satisfaction; he prepares the monthly reports of their labour, measures their work, and superintends the direction given for the works they are engaged upon; in addition to this he is storekeeper, and fills to the utmost of his ability the duties of a clerk of works.
In my Report upon Roads I have spoken of the labour of the convicts, at least of such con- victs as are sent out to work under my directions; now it frequently happens that Europeans and others are confined in the gaol, who, although condemned to hard labour, there is not the means of employing them; the former are generally sailors; they might be employed in making hemp-mats, in making light ropes from picked oakum, which are much used by all Coolies here for slings to carry baskets or other weights; and even if the supply was sufficient for the convicts employed upon the works alone, it would be a great service and saving of expense; also baskets might be made, which being of the simplest description, the commonest Coolie might be made to construct. And, lastly, for actual hard labour, I would respectfully suggest that all refractory or idle convicts should be compelled to break a certain quantity of stones, which I could now employ with advantage on several streets and roads in Victoria. The granite here is not difficult to break, and although the kind of work is new to them, I should very soon arrive at the quantity which every man should do. It has been a habit with some of the men to create cutaneous eruptions, that they might be exempt from work; these I consider fit subjects for real hard labour. I have lately begun to collect and break stones, to which employment I place the laziest of the gang.
I beg leave to suggest the foregoing propositions for work inside the gaol, as I think it would be found advantageous; the expense, if any, I do not think would be felt, for some of the articles might be sold and all used with advantage, so that it would not be an ultimate loss to the Government for the supply of the materials.
I at one time thought of proposing that the convict tools, such as pick-axes, wheelbarrows, &c., should be repaired in the gaol; but I believe there are few artizans in the gaol, and much danger might accrue if these men were allowed blacksmiths' and carpenters' tools, for they miglit manufacture and conceal house-breaking implements, with which an escape from the gaol might be effected. I am, however, of opinion that the service would be benefited if a paid blacksmith and carpenter were added to my establishment; they would have ample employment repairing the convict tools, executing slight repairs to Government buildings, which are frequently called for and should be executed immediately. A monthly or more frequent examination might be made by myself of all the civil buildings, and the necessary repairs pointed out to the men; this I am sure would be a saving of expense, and enable me to execute the smallest repair without going through the trouble and form of a Requisition to

REPORTS EXHIBITING THE PAST AND PRESENT
I may here mention that there are 26 buildings the Governor for authority to execute it. under my charge, the repairs to which, exclusive of storm repairs, amounted to 1797. 13s. 7d. during the year; this, together with about 307. which may be said to be the sum for repair of convict tools, makes a large annual amount, which I am confident could be reduced if I had the men I mention, whose united wages would only amount to 50l.; even if it were for the convicts alone, I think it would be a saving to point a pick at the proper time, repair a helve or wheelbarrow, the last of which are expensive and liable to much injury. As soon as they are in bad repair, I am obliged to lay them up until a sufficient number are so, to enable me to estimate for the repair, and make a requisition for the authority for payment of the money; this is a great inconvenience, and the tools are injured at the same time.
In the Land Registry Office, under the charge of the accountant, Mr. Power, the work has been of its usual description, a little augmented by the voluminous return called for by the House of Commons, and other explanations connected with transactions in land.
A very limited number of memorials, of transfers, or mortgages, &c., have been registered during the year-only 68. Of this number 16 have been prepared in the office for Chinese, with the usual translation made by the Chinese secretary. Attached to my office and to that of the above, also for the preparation or copying of these documents, was a Chinese clerk- Keonkitch, who, in addition to this work, was employed in writing out the copies of contracts for work, also in Chinese.
At the latter end of the year, by direction of his Excellency, his services were dispensed with, together with the second clerk, Mr. Harrison, the office Coolic, and the messenger. The services of the first of the above-named officers I shall be enabled to supply by employing the overseer of Coolies-Assow, who is apparently a good scholar, and can copy out Chinese documents, under the superintendence of Mr. Gutzlaff, the Chinese secretary, sufficiently well He is a useful and trustworthy servant, and I have always for all the purposes of the office.
found him attentive to his work, and show an anxiety for the good of the service. As an attendant and interpreter for myself, and clerk of works and road overseer, in visiting the roads or works, he is most useful; for which service his Excellency was pleased to sanction horse allowance for him; but this, together with the horse allowance to the road overseer, has been of course discontinued since the stoppage of the works.
The two native overseers of convicts, one at 507. per annum, and the other 127. 10s. for allowance, he being in the guard, were also discharged. Both were intelligent and useful men, but the services of one I ani happily enabled to avail myself of, as he is appointed sergeant of the guard, and I am nearly equally well served by him in his new capacity, and a saving is effected of 627. 10s. per annum; at the same time it obliges me to keep all the gang together, which is sometimes very inconvenient, particularly when executing repairs in the streets.
Reductions to a small amount were also made in the salaries of the road overseer and accountant, forming an aggregate saving in the cost of the department amounting to 4297, 10s. per annum.
With the department, as at present constituted, I shall be fully equal to execute all the demands that can be made upon it, unless any works are proposed at a distance from Victoria. If such were to be necessary, the only addition would be allowance for horses; but if no further expenditure for civil works in the colony is decided upon, a reduction may still be effected in the department.
In the district comprising the town of Victoria there are several works which I think it would be highly desirable to have effected, such as the completion of the work of surface drainage by stone channels, the protection of the sides of some of the roads and streets, either with parapet walls, raised footpaths, or such other means as for each particular place would be found most applicable; widening the road round the Wongneichung Valley, and the formation of a new carriage-road from the Albany Godowns to the Wongneichung Valley. I formerly advocated the construction of this road when land was much sought after, and estimated the probable revenue that would be derivable from the sale of the adjoining ground; at the present time it is not likely much of that ground, if any, would be purchased, and, in a pecuniary sense, Government would not be directly benefited; but it would be a healthy and pleasant road for the use of inhabitants of the whole town, for in summer both the Queen's-road and the Wongneichung Valley are too confined and hot, and but little benefit is derived from exercise therein. Another carriage-road, not so expensive as this one, might be made round the Sukupu Valley, or Causeway Bay. These two roads, with the widening a part of the Saiwan Road, and the construction of one 30-feet bridge, and three or four small 10-feet ones, would give ample range for exercise, riding, or driving, and that recreation so much desired and necessary in a tropical climate. These roads would be very easily maintained in order; they would be nearly horizontal in every part, and but few portions exposed to the run of the sea. In addition to these services, I am induced to advocate the planting of trees along the sides of the roads, and some of the streets and slopes adjoining. Small plantations of China fir might be made in several places, and with the facility of obtaining trees from the Straits by the steamers, some of the valuable large and quickly-growing ones would tend much to the beauty and healthiness of the place.
In conclusion, I trust my own exertions in the management of the department have met I have to regret some circumstances with approval, which it has ever been my wish to merit. that have occurred, and am sorry I have been unable to supply occasional information, in returns or otherwise, in that space of time in which they were directed to be performed. This has been entirely caused by the change in the holders of appointments, who were necessarily not au fait in effecting the requisite searches regarding land transactions over a series of years (though few), in which so many alterations, of very varied descriptions, had been made.

I have much satisfaction in speaking in the highest terms of the several officers of the department, who have uniformly given the utmost attention to their several duties, and executed them all to the best of their abilities. It is unnecessary to make further allusion to each individually, and I only express a wish that that if the probable changes of which I made mention before, viz., the reduction of further civil works, that the civil engineer and clerk of works, the Hon. W. Napier, may obtain other suitable employment under Her Majesty's Government, suited to his professional acquirements; and, further, that His Excellency the Governor may be pleased to take into consideration the proposition made for attaching to the department one or two carpenters and a blacksmith, to enable me to repair in a more effective and satisfactory manner the several buildings under my charge--26 in number, and the pre- servation and repair of the convict tools.

Victoria, Hong Kong, March 3, 1849. IN making our Report for the half-year ending 31st December, 1848, on the schools in this colony receiving Government aid, we have little to add to that of the last half-year.
Ninety-five boys are in course of education at the three schools-forty at Victoria, twenty- five at Stanley, and thirty at Aberdeen. Over the schools at Stanley and Aberdeen we have been unable as yet to exercise any very effectual supervision. The school at Victoria has been visited at least once a-month, and the progress of the scholars is as great as can be reasonably expected.
We believe the assistance given to these schools to be properly appreciated by the Chinese inhabitants of the place, and to be of substantial benefit to a number of poor people who would be otherwise unable to procure education.

REMARKS upon the NATIVE TRADE at HONG KONG during 1848.
In the absence of regular returns we can only talk in general terms of what comes under immediate observation. The Chinese traders are, moreover, very reluctant to give at true detail of their actual transactions, for fear of provoking competition; their statements are always under the real amount.
Much business is done here by small traders, who come to Hong Kong from the neigh- bouring cities, such as Tung-kwan, Nan-tow, Kwei-shen, and other places. They generally bring an investment of sugar or produce for immediate consumption. Their agents attend auctions, and buy up things wherever they find them at reduced prices. In these they invest their proceeds, and sell them in the interior at a more advantageous rate than the small traders at Canton can ever do. This is a very numerous class: the boats ply constantly between this colony and their respective native places. Individually they possess little capital; their dealings are beneath the notice of a British merchant; but could the whole be summed up, it would be something very large through the year. The returns being very profitable, their numbers have considerably increased, and are likely to do so in future, the market supplies have in conse- quence become as abundant and various as those of the largest cities in the empire. A corre- sponding increase of large fast-boats, who trade to this port periodically, has also taken place, and the local Government has not as formerly thrown obstacles in the way.
A great drawback upon this small trade is the absence of capitalists. Many men of desperate fortunes arrive here, engage in dangerous speculations in order to obtain credit, and suddenly abscond after having sold the goods intrusted to their care at a ruinous rate. There are others who realize a fair profit, but withdraw from the colony as soon as they have accumulated a few thousand dollars, never to appear again, except to recruit their finances on a new venture. There exists no local attachment, which may be ascribed to the absence of respectable families born on the island with which the adventurers could contract marriages. As long as their relations live elsewhere they will look upon Hong Kong as a mere temporary abode, which they may abandon and revisit at pleasure to suit their convenience. This is a most serious obstacle to the increase of trade, though it cannot be charged to local arrangements made during our occupation of the island. The rent of houses and shops is at present low enough to enable any man who carries on a middling trade to lodge his family, yet very few decent

married females reside here. In this respect there has been very little improvement during the last year.
The importation of sugar from Tae-ping and other places was, during last year, very con- siderable. The growers were able to sell it here cheaper, on account of not paying export duties, than it was procurable at Canton, and hence many sales. This branch of commerce will mainly depend upon the prices for which it can be brought to Hong Kong, and the amount there can year it will fetch at home. Should the crops of this season be as abundant as last be no doubt but the importation in 1849 will be larger. With a richer kind of cane, which is here very thin and juiceless, and good machinery, the Chinese might compete with slave sugar, for work is very cheap, and an acre planted with sugar-cane yields, even at reduced prices, more profit than a rice-field. There is, however, a great demand for this commodity in the northern provinces, so that the prices can never go below a certain level. The Government are rather opposed to the extension of the culture, lest paddy-the staff of life, and vegetables might be grown in smaller quantities. The foreign exportations constitute up to this time not one hundredth part of the home consumption, and have not yet materially affected the market.
Neither camphor, rhubarb, nor teas have any more been brought by junks to this market; all those who speculated in these articles have lost, and this is the reason for their abstaining from any further attempts. It was owing to the small demand that the first could not find ready purchasers; the second offered for sale by the junks was of an inferior quality, and next to useless in the English market; the last shipped to Hong Kong was not selected according to the demand, and realized therefore next to nothing. Another difficulty was, that the men who made this trial had no capital, and could sell for ready-money only. If direct communi- cations be established with Fuch-choo, and a judicious choice made of the teas most in demand,
any the junks no doubt might sell the black kinds to greater advantage here than could do at Canton who has to transport his goods through a long and expensive inland passage.

Efforts have been made to induce the Fokëen junks to bring coals from Ke-lung on the Some small investments have been brought here; not yet, however, north-coast of Formosa.
to give rise to hopes that all our supplies would henceforth be imported from thence. The Chinese Government does not prevent the exportation; but the labour to bring them on board in the absence of all machinery, and even a common cart, is very great. Still it is very likely that the ingenious and plodding Chinese may get over these difficulties, and import them here during the north-east monsoon as ballast.
Alum finds generally a ready sale at this port, because it can be obtained cheaper here than at Canton, where it has to pay an import and export duty. It is brought here in Fokëen Chaougan junks, which fetch it from an island on the coast of Keangsoo, where it is found in immense quantities; some comes likewise from Chě-keang. The junks buy it on the spot at an average rate of half a dollar per picul; and if they can dispose of it here at one and a quarter dollar they make a fair profit; at one dollar it does only cover the freight and labour. Several cargoes have been imported and sold at remunerating prices.
Salt has been imported in greater quantities than at any of the preceding years, the whole amounting, according to the returns of the salt-weigher, which are always less than the actual quantity, to 297,050 piculs in 524 junks. The largest quantity imported in a single month was 41,150 piculs, the smallest 13,000: the junks have varied from 31 to 52 per month. By far the most extensive importers are the Pwan-yu boats. The demand for this article is likely to increase, on account of the large fisheries in the neighbouring seas, which become every year more numerous, and the great difference between the prices here and in the interior. The Fokeen junks have already commenced to become the importers; and though they were in the first instance beaten out of the market by very low prices, they have again ventured to com- pete with the salt manufacturers in the neighbourhood,
A greater number of marine junks visited this year the port than at any previous period. A few of them sold sundry articles imported from the north for Chinese consumption, whilst others bought opium and calicoes, the staple articles of exportation, with ready money. This trade has of late most materially increased; yet the transactions are secret, and to obtain the true returns is impossible. Few vessels, however, anchor here without buying something; and as there were about 80 junks on an average per month, the sum total of this money laid out cannot be inconsiderable.
The only produce of our island, granite slabs, freighted 777 large boats. Insignificant as this commodity may appear, it nevertheless gives employ to more than 1000 people, whose perseverance and hard labour are exemplary.
The fisheries have been extended, and it is much to be regretted that the particulars cannot be given, no account being kept. The owners of the smacks, on account of not being here exposed to the extortions of mandarins, prefer Stanley and Aberdeen to native harbours; and their agents, who supply them with rice and other necessaries, find it more advantageous to live under the British flag than take upon themselves the responsibility their own Government imposes upon them, and the consequent liability of paying heavy fines, if the fishing-craft they have secured commit outrages. The exportation of salt-fish to the interior from the above two places has been very large as it is an article of food of which the poorest partake, there is a constant demand.
During this year not one single instance occurred, to my recollection, of the Chinese Government interfering with vessels that came to the port. Instead of insisting upon carrying into effect the Supplementary Treaty, in regard to the junks that come here, no notice whatso- ever is taken of them.
STATE OF HER MAJESTY'S COLONIAL POSSESSIONS.

While our hopes in regard to the future trade of native vessels at Hong Kong cannot be very sanguine, we need not despair, for there exists a progressive improvement; and could a stop be put to piracy, the junks would bring more valuable cargoes than they have hitherto ventured to do,

Police Department, Victoria, March 7, 1849. I HAVE the honour to submit through you, for the information of his Excellency the Governor, returns for the year 1848, showing the number of persons apprehended by police, the results before magistrate, and making a comparison with the years 1846-47; also a return of the crimes and offences coming to the knowledge of the police, in which no persons were apprehended. The result of the first is very favourable, as it exhibits a total decrease, as com- pared with the year 1847, of 396 persons, or more than 20 per cent. The last return exhibits an increase of undetected crime; but this arises from the Chinese inhabitants communicating their losses more readily than previous years. Most of the offences are of a trifling description, as regards the value of property stolen. It is likewise necessary to notice that property is very insecurely protected from depredation, owing to the bad fastenings to windows and doors, and the style of building.
One of the greatest difficulties the police have to encounter arises from the reluctance the Chinese exhibit to prosecute or assist in obtaining evidence, also in not appearing as witnesses after cases are committed for trial. This necessarily causes many cases to be acquitted, or the proseecution abandoned, and the prisoners return to their old haunts and habits.
I beg to add that the present police force is, in my opinion, sufficient for, and adapted to, its general duties and objects; and that the state of crime, notwithstanding the difficulties to encounter, exhibits its efficiency.
The returns furnished by me do not correspond with a return from the chief magistrate, in consequence of the latter including all cases of summonses for assault, nuisances, &c., in which the parties were not in custody of police.

REPORT of the COLONIAL SURGEON for 1848.
IN compiling a sanatory report upon this colony for the past year, attention is called to three important objects.
1. To deduce from such materials as arc attainable, the most concise and the best evidence of the actual state of the health of the community.
2. To trace out the various causes of endemic diseases, or those which are peculiar to the locality.
3. To point out the general or political and social measures which may or ought to be taken for the removal of such causes.
The defect in statistical records of population, discase, and death,-a defect ascribable to the peculiar character of the people, and the limited and insular nature of the colony,-is a serious obstacle to the faithful prosecution of the first inquiry. Until the establishment of the civil hospital, which will assist in affording scrupulous exactness to the future records of sickness in the various Government departments, the system pursued in the treatment of the sick amongst the police force, was not only inefficient and unsatisfactory, but it was one by which it was impossible to impart faithfulness to the records of disease.
All averages in the police force will be referred to fixed numbers; dis- missals and changes in the force, however, during the year, will bring into the computation of the averages nearly twice the number of individuals that compose the fixed standard to which the averages are referred.
Popular ideas are very apt to attribute to some apparent physical cause the epidemics which prevail; but those who are so ready with ex tempore explanations of the most recondite of all morbific phenomena, are little aware of the diversity, the complexity, and subtlety of the subject which they handle with so much facility. An insight into the varying influences of the atmo- sphere, the relation of such influences to vital tissues, and into the thousand changes which one familiar atmospherical phenomenon may, at a moment, work on the composition and constituents of the surrounding air, would demonstrate the presumption in endeavouring to trace causes with so little knowledge. The practical mischief of such rashness is every day apparent.
In pointing out the remedies for gencral evils, it is often discouraging to feel that we are frequently called upon to suggest measures which cannot be taken. TABLE NO. 1.-A Monthly Numerical ABSTRACT of SICKNESS in the POLICE FORCE of Hong Kong, during the year 1848.

REPORTS EXHIBITING THE PAST AND PRESENT
In January there were two deaths. The European, who had been suffering from dysentery during the preceding year, should be regarded as a case per- taining to causes existing in the year 1847. The Indian died of apoplexy.
In February one European died. This was a case of accidental gun-shot wound at Aberdeen, in which the femoral artery was wounded.
In March, April, May, and June, there were no deaths.
In July five Europeans died. The first case was of six days' duration. It commenced with dysentery; then it was complicated with symptoms of remittent fever; lastly, the periods of exacerbation became indistinct, and the disease assumed the form of continued typhus fever, with gastro-enteritic irrita- tion: death was not preceded by delirium, convulsions, or loss of mental per- ception. This man was brought into Victoria from Stanley. He had suffered previously from repeated attacks of fever. His early habits were very intem- perate, and he was feeble and emaciated. The second case was of a strong healthy young man, of temperate habits. He was brought from Aberdeen to the same station with the former case. His disease ran through precisely the same stages, all of longer duration, and his death was preceded by the same exemption from cerebral disease. The third case was of a young man of the His illness com- most robust frame, active intellect, and temperate habits.
menced with marked symptoms of inflammation of the membranes of the brain. He had been casually exposed to the sun. The active symptoms were subdued, but his disease assumed the character of typhus fever: there were no periodical exacerbations, and symptoms of stupor, intellectual dulness, and low delirium preceded his death. His disease was of seven days' duration. The fourth case was in all respects similar to the last, except that it terminated more rapidly. The fifth death occurred at Aberdeen. This case resembled, in its attack and progress, the two first cases alluded to. The subject of it had suffered repeat- edly from fever, had practised intemperance, and was feeble and attenuated in his body.
The month of August presents the fearful aggregate of nineteen deaths. Of these there were nine Europeans, six Indians, and four Chinamen. There was only one death from disease, and this was a case of typhus fever, resembling the third case detailed in July. The subject of it was a man of the most intem- perate habits and violent passions. Ile was an European. Seven out of the eight remaining Europeans were police convalescents, recovering from remit- tent fever. They were sent, by my directions, on a cruise in the police armed boat, They were unfortunately overtaken by the typhoon, which occurred on the 31st August, the boat was swamped at anchor, and sixteen policemen, besides the Inspector-an European, his son, and a Portuguese boy, were drowned.
In October there is the record of one death, an Indian, who was killed by a gun-shot wound while in the execution of his duty against a junk, the crew of which were in arms against the authorities.
In November a Chinaman died of remittent fever at Whampoa, where he went on sick leave.
In December there appear two deaths. Both cases were of Indians. One death occurred in Macao, from disease of the heart; the other in the civil hospital, from pulmonary apoplexy.
It will be seen that, in June, July, August, and September, the greatest amount of sickness prevailed in the year 1848. It should be remarked that, in these months, remittent fever was the prevailing disease, and that the casualties occurred in those who were affected with fever of a continued type.
In October, November, and December, there was a numerical diminution of cases of sickness; yet the mortality was proportionably great. Bronchitis, in a very obstinate form, prevailed, and in many cases proved fatal.
Table No. 1 will show the daily and monthly rate of sickness in the police. force; but it affords no evidence of the actual number of individuals who have been sick, nor the relative proportion of deaths to cases of sickness, nor of deaths to strength. The following Tables are added in illustration of these points :--

Allusion has already been made to the frequency of changes in the police force. The preceding Table forms a most fallacious idea of the actual propor- tionable mortality in the police force, during the past year, to the number of persons employed, inasmuch as nearly double the number of individuals enumerated in the Table have been in the service of the police. The following Table will give a more accurate proportion of mortality to strength :

Thus it is seen that the actual per centage of mortality in the police has been 9.4 per cent.
The summer of 1848 was remarkable for the intensity of its heat, and for the general and various convulsions and disturbances in the atmosphere. The Chinese themselves have never recollected a season of so much intensity, nor one in which disease was so prevalent or so fatal in its effects. The mortality on the east coast is represented to have been very great, and the character of disease remittent and intermittent fever. It is gratifying to reflect that, although disease has prevailed, and the causes of disease have everywhere been rife, the most exposed of the civil community here have suffered so little from endemic causes. The women and children of the police have passed through the severe trial of a burning season almost with impunity.
The following Table will exhibit numerically the comparative amount of sickness in the police in the several months of the years 1847 and 1848:--

gangrene," it is proper to say, is contagious and epidemic in its nature, and most decidedly malignant. In one case of gangrene, amputation of the infected limb was tried, but without success. The worst case, after the expira- tion of the term of imprisonment, was removed to the civil hospital, where the disease rapidly lost its malignant character, and the patient recovered; from which it is evident that removal from the infected atmosphere was the chief remedial measure. It will be observed with interest that the prisoners sustained the unhealthy season with comparative impunity. Amongst the police, the greatest mortality and the most discase prevailed in the months of June, July, August, and September; while, amongst the prisoners, the increase in sickness in those months was not marked, and the deaths were only three in number, from peculiar and specific causes.
Of the 152 cases admitted for treatment, 114 were ulcerations, or contusions on the hands, arms, legs, or feet; 17 were remittent or intermittent fever; 3 were venereal cases; 3, itch; 6, dysentery; 1, hernia; 1, scurvy; 2, colic; 1, rheumatism; 2, ophthalmia.
It will be seen by the following Table, that the proportion of deaths to persons admitted into prison is small-

The preceding Table shows the actual number of prisoners admitted for treatment during the year to be 162 cases, and the average number under treatment per month to be 20. The deaths were confined to the Malays and Chinese. Two resulted from dysentery in July and August, one from valvular disease of the heart, and five from "hospital gangrene," supervening on slight ulcers, produced by the friction of the irons. The discase called "hospital
In analyzing the preceding Table, it should be remarked, in the first place, that one of the deaths recorded amongst officers of Government took place in England. It was a case of paralysis, and the patient was absent on sick leave. The next was an overscer, who became convalescent from a violent attack of intermittent fever. He exposed himself to the sun without ordinary precau- tion, and returned to his duties before his recovery was completed. A violent relapse soon destroyed life. The third case was one of delirium tremens.
The low rate of mortality, as compared to the admissions in the prison, might be regarded as remarkable, if it is not remembered that the population of the prison is very variable, and it includes all those who are committed for trial, the majority of whom never return, as well as those committed by sum- mary process, for default in fines, delay in obtaining sureties, and for petty Notwith- offences; their imprisonment is, of course, of short duration. standing all, however, the evidence of salubrity in the Victoria Gaol is strong:--

It will be seen that the proportion of deaths to strength retains, through the four years, almost an equal proportion; the year 1847 presenting the lowest, and 1845 the highest rate of mortality. There can be no doubt that, but for the improved salubrity of this island by that most certain means of modifying disease, and counteracting and destroying its sources, the presence of civiliza- tion, the records of this year, peculiar for the intensity of its summer, would have presented a melancholy catalogue of disease and death.

This table is based upon information supplied by the Registrar-General. In the corresponding table of last year the seamen were excepted from the
aggre- gate of strength and deaths. Europeans" include "Europeans, Americans, "and Portuguese;" many of the latter are indigenous, and in some there has been an infusion of Chinese blood. The military, &c. are excepted in this return. The amount of mortality thus furnished by the Registrar-General does not correspond with the returns made by the colonial surgeon of Europeans buried in the colonial burying-ground; and a return, most politely furnished, and collated with great care, by his Highness the Roman Catholic Prelate, of Europeans buried in the Roman Catholic cemeteries. These documents afford the following results:

If from these the seamen, whose diseases are for the most part imported, and who cannot be regarded as belonging to the fixed population of the colony, be excepted, the deaths of civilians would be reduced to 55, which would give a proportion of mortality in relation to the fixed European population of 5·7 per cent.
I allow the Registrar-General's statistics, however, preference to my own, aud have constructed my table on the basis of his calculations; but the discreprncy is inexplicable.

It appears that in the year 1848, as compared with 1847, the population was less, and the mortality greater. In the year 1847, Manchester, which is remarkable for being exempt from the invasions of epidemics, experienced a relative mortality exceeding the average of years, in consequence of the influx of Irish, retreating from the "famine:" in that year, therefore, the proportion of mortality was 4.9 per cent. The average proportion of mortality in Man- chester is about 3.1 per cent. per annum; which is only a little below the average proportion of mortality amongst Europeans in Hong Kong. In the face of these facts, policies of life-insurances continue to be 100 per cent higher in Hong Kong than in Manchester.
My friend Dr. Harland, of the Seaman's Hospital, has kindly furnished me with a tabular view of his practice in that institution, during the year 1848; whereby it appears that there were 203 cases treated, and 30 deaths occurred.
Dr. Harland says,
According to the above table, the mortality for 1848 is "14·77 per cent., being an increase over that of 1847, when it was 11.02 per " cent., and less than in 1846, when it amounted to 21·14 per cent.

"The mortality from some of the diseases appears excessive, especially in cases of pneumonia and acute dysentery.
"Intermittent fever has been by far the most prevalent disease during the year; for many patients have been attacked with it whilst under treatment "for other diseases, besides the comparatively large number of cases admitted dirce:ly, under this head. In the month of August particularly, in one of "the wards exposed to the south-west wind, blowing down the gap opposite "the hospital, every patient, during the same afternoon, was seized with ague, " and had repeated attacks, notwithstanding the use of quinine, until removed "into another ward not similarly exposed. After removal they quickly got well, and no case occurred at the time in any other ward, that being the only "one so exposed."
My friend Dr. Peter Young favours me with the following statement of his views and experience of disease prevailing during the past year:-
"to treatment.
" Remittent and intermittent fevers have generally been mild and amenable Those cases which terminated fatally lost their remittent type, and passed into a continued and typhoid character. Dysentery has never presented itself to me in the acute form ascribed to it by Eastern "writers on this disease; and those cases which have fallen under my notice during the past year have had their origin in functional disorder of the liver. During the year I never met with a case of fever at all resembling the cpi- demic which prevailed in 1843."

My friend Dr. Balfour writes, "The most prevalent diseases in my practice,
during the past year, were simple and bilious diarrhoea and intermittent fever, chiefly of the tertian type, which yielded very speedily to mild reme- dies. The number of deaths was about 1 per cent. of the patients under "treatment."
Dr. Gordon, Staff Assistant-surgeon, whose zeal and intelligence during the prevalence of fever in the 95th regiment were subjects of universal admiration, kindly replics to my several queries respecting that disease, as follows:-
"A large majority of the cases, and those most fatal, came from the south " or rear range of the barracks.

It continued during August, and sensibly

"The average duration of disease was about 56 hours.
"Death generally occurred about the third day, but in many instances a few "hours after admission.

"The disease was called 'febris remittens,' and described as congestive and malignant."
In addition to the foregoing brief remarks, Dr. Gordon has placed at my service a paper, which it is hoped he will be induced to publish, containing a most interesting and intelligent account of this disease. I believe I am not peculiar in considering it nearly identical with the yellow fever of the West Indies, which is said never to occur in the East, although indeed the earliest name the yellow fever received was "maladie de Siam."

not peculiar to this place. In illustration of this opinion, I will place in juxta- position with a case and his remarks given by Dr. Gordon, a case recorded in Johnson's work on "Tropical Climates," by Mr. Shields, which occurred in Batavia, in the month of August, 1800, together with that gentleman's remarks.
*C
Mr. Shields' Statement.
Never was there a disease so deceitful as this fever. I have frequently seen instances where every symptom was so favourable that I could have almost pronounced my patient out of danger; when, all at once, he would he seized with restlessness, black vomiting, de- lirium, and convulsions, which in a few hours would hurry him out of existence !
"This was the case with Mr. Broughton, purser of the Dædalus, who died of the Batavian endemic at Edam hospital. On the seventh day of his illness he took a change for the better, and everything was promising. The morning before he died he expressed himself greatly relieved, and called for some mutton broth and sago, both of which he ate with a good appetite, spoke rationally, and was in good spirits. Towards evening the delusion vanished; restlessness, black vomit- ing, delirium, and convulsions supervened, and carried him off before morning !"
Dr. Gordon's Statement. "The fever was of a very malignant and the symptoms insidious character, * changing for the worse suddenly, and without warning either to the medical attendant or the patient himself, although often visited, and apparently much improved, both in feeling and appearance, half an hour previous to his death; when he would suddenly become strongly con- vulsed, his skin intensely hot and dry, the surface assuming a livid hue; thus the scene would close!
CC
Colour-sergeant Staley, a stout, healthy young man, was admitted on the morning of the 17th of June, in the cold stage of inter- mittent fever; and in about six hours had gone through all the stages of the disease, When the intermission occurred, quinne was exhibited. On the 18th he declared himself as feeling quite well, and was apyretic, his pulse not indicating even the slightest consti- tutional irritation.
About 4 P.M. on the 19th, I was called to see him, and found him comatose and convulsed, with lividity, intense heat, and dryness of the skin. Death closed the scene in a few minutes!"
*
*

The concourse of many people, during the reign of epidemic influence, gives pestilential violence to the disease. The emanations from the sick bodies will often precipitate a disease that may have remained dormant, or passed away in very safe paroxysms. There can be little doubt that many cases went into the Military Hospital last summer, to receive the inoculation of death from the contaminated atmosphere of the crowded wards, which would have terminated in recovery elsewhere. Not only were the deadly emanations from con- centrated disease ready to receive the patient, but his mind wandered to the crowded dead-house, and the prognosis of his own fate struck his mind at the same moment. This, in the majority of cases, was too faithful! How much it is to be regretted that there occurred any impediment to the prompt and efficient fulfilment of Dr. Fergusson's recommendation, at the earliest assaults of the disease, to isolate the cases, and to convey the uninfected men from contact with the diseased, by placing them in a floating hulk.
What were the immediate causes of the prevalence of disease during the last summer, and especially of that disease which decimated the 95th Regiment? It has been popularly conceived that the removal of earth, near the barracks, undisturbed since the Plutonic origin of this island, did all the evil. Why then did the disease remain so long undeveloped after the evolution of its imputed cause? the precise nature of which I never heard explained. Was it a gas confined within the cells of the earth, in itself innocuous, and rendered poisonous by contact and combination with the free gases floating in the external air? The supposition is ungeological. The light of a little science will show the glimmering of causes more rational than that.
AL
Electricity exerts a most powerful influence upon the whole of the animal "and vegetable world, and this not merely through the meteorological pro- "cesses, precipitations of watery vapour, of acids, or of ammoniacal compounds. "which it occasions; but also immediately as the electrical force, that force which excites the nerves, and occasions or assists the circulation of the "juices."
<<
The latitudes in which we live arc peculiarly liable to thunder-storms, and the congregation of small islands, like those in these waters, surrounded by an extensive ocean, acts peculiarly on the atmosphere, and gives occasion to thunder-storms.
If those places in which lightning is common be compared with regions like.
Peru, where it is never seen, it will be found that evidences of the salubrious- ness of the latter are much greater than of the former.
The prevalence of electricity may be one of the proximate causes of local disease.
In the rear of the south range of the Hong Kong barracks there is swampy ground, saturated by the sluggish absorption of moisture from the gully above, and by occasional torrents, the waters of which rest on the surface of the table- land which terminates the ravine. This gully for many months was thickly colonized by Chinese workmen in temporary huts, whose filth descended and remained stagnant on the point alluded to, from which free gases would be perpetually evolved, ready to be elaborated into poisonous compounds, by a favourable stroke of electricity.
Epidemic diseases, however, do not necessarily derive their origin from external causes. The relative failure in the perfection of organic functions in an individual will give rise to unwholesome secretions and effluvia, which, coming in contact with the susceptible and favourable organism of another, may be the means of originating and propagating an epidemic,
The geological circumstances of this colony in many respects resemble that early condition of the globe which was suited only to living organization of a very low type. It is a mass of granite, disengulphed from the centre of the earth by ancient Plutonic causes. It is little to be wondered at that such a surface, affording no scope for that beautiful reciprocity which is so mutually beneficial between animal and vegetable respiration, and yielding only or chiefly such vegetable productions as are not refreshed by the fertilising existence and economy of herbivorous animals, but renewing itself by its own periodical decomposition, should possess abundant sources of unwholesome exhalations. While it is painful to reflect that these numerous sources of disease envelop us, it is gratifying to know that every step in the progress of civilization and refine- ment is a powerful antidote. In the planting of trees and shrubs, to unload the atmosphere of the carbonic acid gas, which is the product of animal respiration, and to replenish it with oxygen, which sustains and invigorates us, as well as to afford shade from the sun and a surface for the absorption of the intense rays of light conveyed to the brain through the eyes, which, not less than the direct rays of the sun's heat, tend to injure that organ, we discover a simple remedy more or less at the command of every inhabitant. The Government is called upon also to promote sanitary measures by causing the various hollows, receptacles of decomposing filth, about the town to be filled up, by covering over the great central drains, whence emanate sickly effluvia, and by planting the waste grounds in places where the plantations would afford shade and shelter. I would especially recommend the planting of the flat behind the barracks, the slopes round the church, and the Government offices, and below the general's house, which on the one side would break the strong gusts that sweep down the gully, and on the other shade the barracks from the rising and mid-day sun.
It has long been in contemplation to erect a "Sanitarium" on the hill, below the Victoria peak. The first impression of this scheme may strike a person as absurd. Attention to the following facts will clearly show, I hope, that the idea was based upon sound reason. At Penang, Singapore, and Madeira, such an institution has been erected, or contemplated, on very great elevations.
The most prevalent diseases in Hong Kong are fevers of the remittent and intermittent type, dysentery, and rheumatism. There are no circumstances so favourable for the development of either of those diseases as excessive atmo- spherical heat and great humidity. It has been established as a meteorological fact, admitting of no doubt, that the quantity of humidity existing in the atmosphere, as well as the temperature, diminishes with elevation. On the slopes of the Andes this fact is most apparent. On an altitude of 242 feet above the level of the sea the temperature falls one degree. In advancing one degree to the north, the same result is obtained. Thus an ascent of 242 feet is, as respects temperature, equal to a degree of latitude. In great altitudes there exist strata of climates. The citizens of the Andes may, by a comparatively short ascent, experience at pleasure every season of the most favoured climates. When it is remembered what are the invigorating effects of change of air" on the attenuated constitution, it will be at once conceded that such facilities of obtaining it constitute a great privilege.

REPORTS EXHIBITING THE PAST AND PRESENT
The contemplated site of the proposed "Sanitarium" is 1774 feet above the level of the sea; and by repeated experiment the average range of the thermometer is found to be 10 degrees less at this elevation than it is in the town of Victoria. Moreover, the position, which is attainable by a practicable road, is exposed to the south-west monsoon; and in consequence of the diminished pressure of the superincumbent strata of air in this position, all obnoxious exudations ascend from the sphere of respiration. That the atmo- sphere on the hill is drier than that in the valleys, and hence more opposed to the operation of endemic causes of disease, has been, I think, clearly shown. The existence of clouds occasionally on the hill may be thought to be evidence. against this fact. Frequently the clouds which obscure the peak are below it; and an observer standing on the top of the hill may look down from a serene atmosphere upon a lake of cloud filling up the valley beneath.
Some part of the excess of heat in the valleys over that found on the hill must be ascribed to radiation; it is nevertheless evident, that in ascending the hill 10 degrees of heat are escaped. It has been shown that a perpendicular ascent of 242 feet above the level of the sea diminishes the temperature in the proportion of one degree of latitude, that is, by one degree of heat: by this rule the elevation of the Victoria hill is, in respect of temperature, equal to about seven degrees of latitude, 242 being to 1,774 as I is to 7, which, indeed, makes a residence on the hill as great a change to the invalid as visiting Ningpo. Need further argument be adduced on this point? The proposition is in every respect practicable; its accomplishment will obviate the risks, the impracticable absence from duties and friends, the great expense, and the anxieties which are at present entailed on those who are now compelled to resort to Macao and other places to recruit their health. The Government and the inhabitants should mutually assist in this desirable object by all means. in their power.

CORONER'S INQUEST.
CENTRAL POLICE STATION, VICTORIA, HONGKore, 1st March, 1849. Minute of Proceedings held before CHARLES GORDON HOLDFORTH, Coroner, on view of the Body of FREDERICK AUGUSTUS HIPPOLITO DA COSTA, a Captain of the Royal Engineers, now lying dead at the Military Hospital.
The following gentlemen having been sworn in as Jurymen, i. e. ROBERT STRACHAN, Foreman; WILLIAM HENRY MITCHELL, JAMES SMITH, THUR- STAN DALE, WILLIAM FRASER BEVAN, SAMUEL GRAY, proceed, in company of the Coroner, to the Military Hospital in order to view the body of the aforesaid Frederick Augustus Hippolito Da Costa, there and then lying dead.
The Jury aforementioned, having viewed the body as aforesaid, and having heard the statement of Dr Morrison, the Colonial Surgeon, as hereinafter embodied, are unanimously of opinion that no post mortem examination is necessary, they being fully satisfied, from the appearance of the wounds on the body of deceased, but more particularly from the evidence of the Colonial Surgeon, that deccased met a violent death. The Jurors con- sequently proceed to the Central Station, for the purpose of proceeding with the inquisition.
CHARLES G. HOLDYORTH,
Coroner.
HONGKONG, TO WIT-Informations of Witnesses seve- rally taken and acknowledged on behalf of our Lady THE QURAN, touching the death of Frederich Augustus Hippolito Da Costa, now lying dead at the house kudun as the Military Hospital, within the township of Victoria, in the colony of Hongkong, on Thursday, the 1st day of March, in the year of our Lord 180, and in the 13th gear of the Reign of her gracious Majesty Queen Victorie, before Charles Gordon Holdforth, Gentleman, one of the Curoners of the said island of Hongkong, on an Inquisition then and there taken on view of the body of the said Frederick Augustus Hip- polito Da Costa, then and there lying dead.
(1)
WILLIAM MORRISON, Colonial Surgeon, being duly sworn, atutes, I have examined the body of the late Captain Da Costa, now lying in the dead-house of the Military Hospital, There are three wounds on the sealp, which penetrate to the skull. These wounds are from 2 to 23 inches in length. One, the most severe, is on the crown of the head, the lesser one is near to and parrallel with this, and the third is on the upper part of the head, where the parietal bones join the frontal bone. The wounds, in my opinion, have been inflicted previously to death, by a cutting instrument. There is a wound on the outer angle of the left eye. This wound has passed over the ridge of the orbit-the bone of which ia broken slightly and behind the eyeball. It has been in- Ilieted apparently by the point of a spear, which having cut the bony edge of the orbit, has passed into the cellular tissue behind the eyeball. There is a contused wound on the upper lip, inflicted perhaps by a blow from a stick. There are very severe contusions about the eyes, as if heavy blows had been inflicted by similar contusions, and superficial scratches about the bands, as if inflicted in the act of sollefence. There is a must severe wound on the right hip, a little behind and parallel to the joint. Superficially this wound, which was apparently inflicted by a sharp instrangul, is about 3 inches in length, and in depth about 13 incl. I do not think any important arterial branch has been wounded, but there is no doubt it has been the occasion of great hemorrhage. The back and other parts of the body give evidence of slight bruises, shew- ing a prolonged and severe struggle. I do not think any of the words or injuries were sufficient to causo imunediate death. I am of opinion that deceased in a state of insen- sibility, either from syncope or concussion of the brain, was thrown into the water and drowned. The bones of the nose are fovetured, shewing that the blows on the face have been nost severo. I have no doubt whatever that the Injuries received were the cause of death, though not the immediate cnuse; it is probable that deceased was rendered senseless by the blows and wounds received, and then thrown into the water. I am of opinion that a post mortem examination would be unfiecessary.
By Mr Gray-Would an examination of the brain go toị' shew that deceased was in a state of insensibility from syncope or coneussion when thrown into the water? think not. Whether the action of the water on the viral organs would : be the same, the subject being in a state of insensibility or
sensibility when thrown into the water? Yes.
By Mr Brean- Is it possible that decused could have I walked after the injuries he appears to have received, were
inflicted? No.

PENWELL MARTIN TWRDDkut, being again called and BWOTT, states,-I and a Surgeon attached to the Ceylon Rifle Regiment quartered at Stanley. On Sunday afternoon last the 25th of February, I left our quarters in company with Lieutenant Dwyer, Captain Da Costu, and Lieutenant Gran- thum, for the purpose of taking a walk. 1 accompanied the party some short distance, perhaps a quarter of a mile, and then separated, as also did Lleutenant Grantham. I return- ed to my quarters about 20 minutes past 5; Captain Da Costa and Mr Dwyer proceeded towards the village of Wong-na-kok, which is situated about a mile and a quarter from our barracks. We dine at 7 o'clock; as Captain Da Costa and Mr Dwyer did not return to dinner, I became alarmed, and went out to look after thein, with a sergeant, corporal, and three men, We proceeded to the village of Wong-ina-kok, Int that time saw nothing to excite suspicion." I saw an old man there, who was very civil, and gave us nil for our lampa, In answer to some questions I put to this old man relative to the missing gentlemen, he said that la had not seen any Europeans about: 1 consequently returned; homewards. When about 200 yards from the village,† clono to the pathway. I found a three-pronged spear-head broken| short off, which I now produce. I took the spear to our sta- tion, and reported to Lieutenant McDonald, being the senior in command. Ile with a party of soldiers went ont in order to make further search; I did not necompany thenuj They returned about 2 o'clock on the following morning. On Monday morning Me May with a party of police arrivedi at Stanley; 1 accompanied them, in order to shew the road which the missing party had taken. We separated in various directions, I first discovered marks of blood in the immediate vicinity of the village of Wong-ina-kok-[Corrects himself ]. I first discovered marks of blood about 600 or 700 yards on the other side of the village, which I traced close into the village; from thence to the sea-side, which is perhaps bati a mile from said village. The water was deep where we traced the blood, near to which place, say about 200 yards, the body of Captain Da Costa was discovered in the water. I did not see the body taken out of the water.
I have very frequently visited this village, but always armed. The vil- lagers have seen that I was armed. I have always received civility. Captain Da Costa, when he left his quarters, was dressed in a white shooting-jacket, a Chinese felt-eap turn- ing up all round, blue striped cloth trowsers, and cominen sh008.
He had with him a gold watch and small gold pocket chain slightly exposed to view. I think he had two gold rings on his fingers, one of considerable value. He wore the rings on his left hand. Both hands are bruised; I cannot say that one is more than the other.
Ile had no firearms on him, but had a Malacca cano loaded with lend, say about 1 oz, from that t 2 oz.; it was a powerfat weapon. I am not aware that he had any money on his per- ከዘኑ . Lieutenant Dwyer had a gold hunting-watch with a
gold guardehain round his neck, both of considerable valne. The chain was slightly exposed to view. He had no fire- arms about him. Had a Malacca canet-no money. Tito

three-pronged spear 1 found was a likely instrument to have caused the wound in the eye of Captain Du Costu as before described.
By Mr Mitchell-Was the spot where you picked ny the spear-hend which you have stated to be about 200 yards from ! that village, in sight of the village? No, it was shut out by a turn in the road and the wond.Could the cries of men struggling for their lives be heard at the village where you took the old man into custody, from the spot where you picked up the spear-head? I am of opinion they could not be heard; am not precise as to the distance being 200 yards, but think it was sufficiently far to preclude human cries from reaching the village. The spear-head I picked up had the appearance of being recently broken; I cannot say with any degree of certainty that any of its prongs had blood on at the time. On Monday last Mr May took a man into custody at Wong-ma-kok. He had a wound on I think the right side of his head, over the parietal bone, which bad ap- parently been inflcted by a stick-such a stick as Captain Da Costa carried would be a likely instrument to inflict the wound, It appeared to have have been inflicted 12 or 15 hours, Ile bad marks of blood on his left leg and foot, also on the band of his trowsers, which is produced.

Friday, 24 March, 1849. CHARLES CALDWELL GRANTHAar, being sworn,-I am a Lieutenant in the Ceylon Rifle Regiment at present quarter. ed at Stanley. On Sunday last the 25th of February, I, in Company of Captain Da Costa, Trieutenant Dwyer, and Dr Tweddell, took tiffin at our quarters at Stanley about 2 o'clock at about 4 o'clock we all four left for the purpose of taking a walk. I accompanied them for about half mile, and then feeling tired, sat down to rest. They intended to walk as far as the village of Wong-na-kok. When they left no they branched off the beaten track, and ascended the skirt of a hill, in a direction for the village. I saw them for some distance, and heard them laughing and talking. They must have taken the path along a ravine, which ravine is perhaps about 120 yards from the beaten road. After this I lost sight of them. I never saw Cap- tain Da Costa alive since that time. When I regained my ¦ quarters, it was perhaps half-past six. Dr Tweddell had just arrived before me. We waited dinner for our conmrades, but as they did not make their appearance at 7 or 8 o'clock, we became alarmed. Dr Tweddell then went out to look for them, accompanied by a sergeant and some privates. He returned about 11 o'clock, after a fruitless search. I then in company with Mr McDonald, left our quarters in search. We took a number of soldiers with us. Mr McDonald took a different course to what I did. We met at the village of Wong-ina-kok. Nothing partientar occurred to me on my way to said village. At the village we enquired for our missing comrades. We saw there only 2 boys, 2 old women, and 2 old meal. The village had the appearance of being de-
serted.
On the boys being questioned, they said that they had not seen any Europeans about the village that day. On making search, I picked up in the village a spear; I cannot say that it had any blood on it. One of my men picked up a broken shaft of a spear, which had marks of blood on it, apparently quite fresh. I searched the houses; in some were heavy sticks, and several spears, and a great quantity of gunpowder of Chinese manufacture; in one of the houses I found an elderly man and woulan. We took prisoners this old man and one boy. They did not make any further! statement, than that they had not seen any Europeans about the village that day, and that the villagers had gone out to tish.
When we took the old man and boy into eustudy, another old man followed on to Stanley, who was afterwards discovered to have a wound on his head. The next morning! (Monday) I saw this wound on the old man's head; it appear- ed a fresh ent. Ile said he had fallen down, and gut his head against a stone. Ile [the former old man] was very dilatory
in opening the door of his house. When My Da Costa went out on Sunday evening be had with him a Malneca eune loaded with bead; it was a very likely instrument to have inflicted a wound like the old man had on frig head. He had no firearms about him. He had a gold watch and chain, and two rings on his fingers. I regained my quarters about 2 o'clock on Monday morning, without any thing more having pecurred. I did not notice any likod on the ground at this time, as it was very dark. At daybreak 1 again went out, and took the direction along the ravine. which I thought Captain Da Costa must have taken towards the village. I learnt nothing additional during this trip. I only saw one old woman at the village. I with my men scoured the neighbourhood of the village in search of the missing party, but without success. I did not perceive any blood in my beut. I did not at this time observe any marks of the country having been fired. Freturned to my quarters about 9 o'clock A. M. Early on Munday morning Me May with a party of Police arrived; I then with some of the men of the Rifles scoured the country again. When in the neigh- bourhood of the village, on a path leading from it towards the water side, blood was discovered. I traced this blood down to a small but, a fishing-but, on the water side, in which I found five men, who were taken into custody. On some parts of the path, I perceived a considerable quantity of bloot, apparently as if the source from which the blond Hlowed had been rested there. The country round the vil lage at this time (about noon) was in u blaze. I returned home about 5 o'clock v.M., and did not go out again on that
t day. On the following evening a body was taken out of the water and conveyed to Stanley; this body 1 identified as that of the late Captain Da Costa. The place where it was found was about 100 yards to the left of the terminus of the path which leads up to the village-sof am informed; it was covered with wounds. The spot where Dr Tweddell picked up the spear head has been pointed out to me.

I should most certainly say that the cries of ten struggling for their lives could he heard from this spot by the villagers of Wong-ina-kok, The quantity of gunpowder found in the village was about 100th; also a quantity of bamboos, which are said to he loaded with powder and used by the Chinese in warfare; also a quantity of saltpetre and pounded clareonl.

I have frequently visited the village. I have seen 12 to 15 men there
at a time. None of us ever knew that powder was manu- factured there. It never struck ine that there was a fishing station in this neighbourhood. When the old man that had the wound on his head was interrogated as to where the villagers had gone, he replied that ** they were fishing--he had not seen any Europeans about the village on Sunday,"
CHARLES C. GRANTHAM. Lieutenant Ceylon Bijker, (5)
THOMAS FRANCIS FREDERICK ACOUSTUS MACDONNELL, sworn,This witness corroborates the statement made by Mr Grantham, as regards the going out in search of the mining party on Sunday night; and further adds,] When I approached within about 20 yards of the wood in the immediate neighbourhood of the village, I found one spear head, apparently but recently broken off from the shaft. On this spear head I discovered blood, apparently fresh. The spot where this was found is that at which Dr Tweddell picked up the three-pronged spear. I shewed him the spot afterwards. This place I should say is about 200 yards from the village of Wong-ma-kok. In my opinion the cries of people struggling for their lives could be heard by the vil- Lagers from the spot. I cannot say that beyond the finding of the spear hands, there were any marks of a struggle having taken place at this spot. On proceeding onwards, in the village, there were found one or two more spenre. There was also the shaft of a spear found in the village, it had the appearance of being recently broken; bore marks of blood. On a pathway lending from the village to the water side, I discovered tracks of blood. The blood was first distinguishable on this track about 150 yards from the village. If a struggle had taken place at this spot, it would not have been perceived by the villagers; cries could have been heard. On Monday morning, in addition to the spear heads that were found at the spot before described, there was found a small hatchet hid under a tree. I was present at the time; I cannot any is had any blood on it. I saw on Tuesday evening a body that had been taken out of the water, lying at Stanley. It had several severe wounds on

I must have been within 600 or 800 yards from the spot where the spear-boards were found about & o'clock. I did not then see any thing to attract my attention, except that I observed two large boats with boarding-nettings up. They appeared to keep aloof from the other small boats about. The Stanley people had noticed these two boats, and were at a loss to account for their appearance there.

On returning from said village, when about as far as the Stanley barracks are from the villaged of Stanley, I picked up a three-pronged spear. I cannot say that it had marks of blood on it. I did not notice that the turf was stained with blood near where this spear-head was found. The night was dark. I do not think that cries of distress could have been heard from the spot by the villagers. I have lived with the late Captain Da Costa for three months, I have never been in the village of Wong-ma-kok before Sunday last.

34 March, 18H
CHARLES MAY sworn,-1 am Superintendent of Police. Having received intelligence on Monday morning the 26th of February, that Captain Da Costa and Lieutenant Dwyer were missing from their quarters at Stanley, 1 proceeded thither with a party of Police and Soldiers accompanied by Me Caldwell. A soldier of the Ceylon Rifles mentioned that he had seen some dropa of blood on a footpath. I accom- panied him and perceived the blood destinetly on Apach which I subsequently found led from the village of Wong- ma-kok to a fishing-hut on the west side of the peninsula. 1 requested Assistant Superintendent Caldwell to trace the path downward, and I proceeded upward, and clearly observed the track of blood in single drops at average intervals of a yard apart for above 400 yards-in three or four places three or four drops were close together. The track of blood ended where the path entered between two low stone walls, leading to, and about 100 yarda from the village. I searched care- fully right and left, and in the path, but saw no blood. I then proceeded through the village, and at the east corner perecived several drops of blood on a stone. A patli continued by this stope to the place where two apear heade were stated to me to have been found; this was about 200 yards on the cast side of the village. Por about 100 yards along this puth near to the village there is a thick jungle, and a fire was then burning from the jungle to about thirty yards of the spot where the spear heads were found, and extended backward for more than one mile. I searched ou ench side the path and round about where the spear heads were found, but discovered no traces of blood, or of a struggle. Before I had entered the village I saw a man on the bill above, to whom I beckoned, and he came to me. I took him into custody, and ascertained his name to be Lo-ase-koong. I examined his person and found a wound on the right side of the head-such a wound as would be caused by a heavy blow from stick; it had been recently inflicted, as upon pressing it, blood oozed out. On the string or band fastening up his trousers [string produced] I saw reveral marks of blood; also several spots of blood on his ankles, near the becla He represented, by words and action, that this wound was occasioned by lle falling on a stono. I and Mr Caldwell searched the village, and in three houses saw wear- ing apparel hanging up, as if recently washed; they were
one we found a towel on which were marks of blood, but it had been washed; there were several pieces of wet clothing fuund in one or two houses. On arriving at the village ) found an old man in eustudy of Mr May. I observed a wound on the right side of his hend, which, on being questioned by me at the request of Mr May, he stated he received in falling upon a stone on the bill. The following day, having been informed that blood had been seen on some rocks near the water, I want with the Chief Magistrate and Mr May, and saw four or five puulatt of blood on some rocks a short distance from the water. We made strict search, both on shore and in the water by means of boat-honks, but dis- covered nothing. As we were about embarking, a portion of bamboo piks on being passed into the boat fell into the water, and the rower in the bows with a bost-hook in trying to recover it, hooked up something white. 1 desired him to lift it up higher, and on his doing so I found it was the body of Captain Da Costa; I immediately called out. The swell being rather high, I went a short way into the water to secure the body; a rope was passed round it, and it was taken out of the water. I was requested by Mr May question two boys and an old man whom we found in custody at the barracks on the morning of the 20th; the two former gave different statements as to whom certain spears and spear-beads, which were shown them, belonged. They all three denied having seen any Europeans in their village ou the 25th. When the body of the late Captain Da Costa was taken out of the water, I felt for his watch, but it was not on his persun, nor had he any rings ou his angers. On Monday, when I arrived at Wong-ma-kok, I observed that a fire was raging immediately behind the village.
A spot was pointed out to me where some spear-heads were found a short distance from the village; the grass around was on fire. When I arrived at Wong-ma-kok, Mr May bad an old man in custody, named Lo-Assce; he had a cut on bis head, which he mid he received in falling against a stone. I saw marks of blood on his waist-band, and also on his heel. The five men seized in the fishing-but might have scen the bly of Captain Da Costą thrown into the water from their hat, had it been done in the day time, but I think not if it had been dong in the night time.

The English officers did not fail in my house, but they were wounded there. I did not see any blond on the ground in my house. The officers maled out of the house, but were pursued by the assailants. The name of my daughter-in-law is Lorchow-she; she is aged 18 years. She was taken from the village on Sunday night at all events I have not seen her since. The officers used to visit the village neesiumally ¶¶ never know them to converse with my daughter-in-law during any of these visits. The two othcers on Sunday, before coming into my house, had en- tered Choi-apo's, where they had interfered with women, but they were driven out. In the house, during the struggle, the tall English officer wrested a spent from Chui-apo, knocked bin down, und kicked him. In aiming a biow at Chiapo, the spear broke. I do not know whether Chui- ! apo was wounded. 1 could identify the spear that wha broken [deponent is shewn several spears, and identifies the one found by the party of Dr Twoddelt, a 3-pronged spor,] it was after the spear was broke that the officers rushed out. i When I was wounded, my wife shouted out, "els, help, save my life." The villagers then rushed in, but they did not come armed; they pulled the officers out, and in at tempting to do so, they were struck with sticks.*** The villagers then got spears. The officer did not make any n tempt before the condict ensued and before the spear was broken to escape. In the house of Chuiapo there were two women, oncaged 16, a married girl, dushter-in-law of Chui- apo; the other was an old-weiḥn his wife. I never heard the result of the conflict, nor do I know what has become of the officers. The Stanley officers act fire to the grass. Late on Sunday a party of officers and men came to the village and enquired what had become of the two officers. I replied *that they had been interfering, and a disturbance had taken place, but that I did not know where they had gone to." I suspected that the two English officers had been killed, from the way they were fighting, but I was afraid to say so to those that came in search. My eldest son was outside my house during the conflict; he afterwards re- turned, but did not say anything. I have not had commnn- nication, nor yet seen any of the villagers who took part in the conflict.

scarcely dry a piece of cloth used as a towel was hanging up in the house at the east corner; I saw spots of blood upon it, and evident signs of blood having been nearly washed out. The next morning I landed at the fishing-lut accompanied by the Chief Magistrate Mr Hillier. We saw the lowest drop of blood on the footpath before mentioned, and examined another path diverging to the left. On this path 1 saw three drops of blood at some distance apart; the path led near a cave formed by large rocks resting on cacl other, in which several bundles of hedding and clothing, and a box containing clothing and some silver ornaments were found by me. A bundle containing clothing was found by Mr. Hillier on the top of the rocks; and upon Police Constable Crevy examining it, a jacket--on which were visible several marks of blood-was found. I then proceeded up the path ¦ leading to the village before mentioned, and ap which, about Ond yards in length, the track of blood was clearly scen. A very minute examination was male, and in front of the houses in the village three spola of blond were acen by me; und in the path leading from the village to the place where the spears were found I saw several drops of blood. I received information that blood had been seen among the rocks, and upon proceeding there, found the spot to be about 300 yards from the tishing-lint, the path diverging from the path leading to the village, led by the place. There were large marks of blood in four or five places, as if a body lad lain there some time, and on one prominent point of rock, as of a budy belig dragged over. The party were about leaving the place, having previously had a search made by means of boathooks in the sen near, when a broken spear found at the village fall from the Police-boat into the water: the boatmen were endeavouring to recover this, when the body of Mr Da Costa came to the surface and was brought ashore. When I arrived at Stanley on the morning of Mon- day the 26th February, three persons had been apprehended, and upon being questioned though the interpretation of Mr Caldwell, the first examined, Lo-akow, stated, that he lived at the village of Wong-ma-kok with his father; that he was at home the previous day, but did not see any Europeans, or any strangers in the village. I showed in some spears and spear-bende which had heon found, and some broken sticks or handles. Ile identified a spear with a single blade as belonging to Tauy-apo, but that it was kept in his father's house, a three-pronged spent as belonging to Chen-asarm, who resided in the village, and a knife or chopper as belonging to Chea-ahing. The second prisoner, Lo-yet-show, statoil, be lived in the village, but was from home fishing until dark; he did not see any Europeans or strangers that day near the villago He said the two spears exhibited to him were the property of Chea-asarm, the knife or chopper the property of Chen or Tsuy-apo, and the spear-bends to belong to Chow- asee, who had been away from the village fishing for some days. He also identifled a broken stick which he said betong- ed to Lo-schong, who broke it in healing a cow shortly after it had calved; be accounted for several spots of blood upon the handle from the latter circumstance. The third prisoner, Chuy-see, said he foretold good and bad weather; he had been at the village of Wong-ina-kok living with the Lo family about one month; he was in the house all day, and saw no Europeans or strangers. The village of Wong-ma-kok is situated on a level space of about five acres, near the top of the peninsula between Stanley and Ty-tam lay. There are four Cunilies Hring there, the heads of which are nained rea- pectively, Chou-abeeng, Tsue-asarım, Taue-apo, and Lo-asre. These latter particulars I ascertain from the Assessment Return for Police Rate. I have compared the head of a apear found on the east side of the village by Police Constable Marshall, with the handle of a spear found by Lientenant Maxwell 95th Regiment, and find the broken parts to cor- respond on the handle there are marks of blood, When the body of the late Captain Da Costa was taken out of the water, there was not any watch on his person, nor had he any rings on his fingers,

DANIEL RICHARD CADWELI. Sworn, states,-Ton Assistant Superintendent of Police. On the morning of the 26th ultimo (Monday,) in consequence of information received at the Station that two officers were missing from Stanley, I necompanied Mr May to that place for the purpose of making search. One of the men of the Rifles having stated that he had observed spots of blond on a footpath, he took us to it. I was requested by Mr May to trace westward, that is down the hill towards Stanley bay. I observed single spots of blood along the footpath, about the distance of three and four feet apatit in some places several spots were together. I traced the blood to within about 50 yards from a fishing-hut, and about 20 from the water. I went to the but, which I examined. 1 found 5 Chinese there, whom I took into cus- tody and sent to the barracks in charge of some of the Rifles. I also observed a sampan in the water close to the fishing-net. I examined it, but found nothing suspicions about her. I then retraced the footpath, and observed the same spots of blood all the way to within a short distance of the village of Wong-ma-kok. I searched the houses with Mr May. In

They kept reading-and at last fell about 1000 Bovida from the village, on the pathway leading to Stanley. The wounds they received were mortal.

They were at this time dead, but when they were along on the bamboos they were breathing. When they fell, some of their assailants went back to the village for baunbons and ropen.

I was in the village of Wong-ma kok on Sunday the 26th of February, I was in my father-in-law's house. I was engaged in enoi- ing, when two English officers came in; one of them hugged me, putting his arin round my waist, and on my breast. He had never done the same thing before. It was the sinull officer who caressed me. I did not notice any thing parti- cular about the officers. My father and mother interferod with the officers, when they were struck by them.
I saw blood from both of them. The blows fell upon their hands. They called out. I then, being very frightened, rau out in- to the hills above the village, where I remained all night. I did not see any disturbance going on between the officers and the Chinainen. 1 did not return to the village, because I was afraid of the officers. 1 have heard of such a person as Chui-apo, but 1 did not know him. I have not heard that any English officers were killed on the night of the 25th of February. 1 am a married woman, my husband's naNS -I dont know it ;* have only been married a short time When I was on the hills 3 got nothing to eat.

I dont know the names of any of the others; they were not residents of Wong-wa-kok, they merely come that day to visit the powder manufactory, friends of Yeen-ping, could identify all the 10 that were concerned in the murder. Chui-apo had the handling of the murdered officers. I did not see him take their watches or rings. He was the ring- leader in the affray. When the officers entered the village, I saw that they carried sticks I saw them strike Chui-apo with a stick on hia hack as he was coming out of his house, having gone in to light his pipe. I heard Chui-apo say to them In Chinese, You had butter mind what you are about, ior I will kill you. I have done nothing to you." The officers ware drunk. They threw stones at every budy who stood to look at them. When they entered my father's house, I also went in. 1 remained there until the villagers came in armed. In the interval, 1 saw both my father and mother struck; blond was drawn from both of them. They were both struck on the brad. They did not call in the villagers to their assistance; they came of their own accord. All the | villagers were looking on during the conflict-more than 20, My father and mother called out to the villagers to desist. My mother is now in Stanley. My sister-in-law has gone to Little Jeongkong to her mother's. The family name is Cleen. Cheen-urching is the name of my sister-in-law. I was taken to Stanley by some officers. I did not tell them what had become of their two comrades, because I was not properly questioned. The two deceased officers were throwE into the water at one and the same time, at the same place. During the conflict particularly noticed Chui-apo and Chui- armon I saw them stab the two officers with spears. can't say where in the body they were stabbed. I cannot say in which hand the spears were held. Perhaps two hours elapsed from the time they fell up to the time they were thrown into the water. The people who carried them down were the same as committed the murder. They were thrown into the water to avoid detection. I did not see any of the party burning the grass. Chul-apo was the man who struck the first blow, I dont know that any of the villagers were wounded. It was the small officer who caressed my sister-in-law-the one with whiskers I know that (the officers were looking for women, because heard them enquire for **Amocy =>

They began to go into the various houses there, and Assault their inmates. I did not see them go into Chul- apo's house; I saw them go into Lo-yaong-shing's. I do not know what took place there. I saw a fight going on in front of the village. Chui-apa and his men did not go into Yaong-shing's house. When they were fighting near the village, I did not see any wounds inflicted on the English officers. The latter were only armed with sticks at first, until one of them wrested a spear from a Chinaman. It was getting late in the evening, and I could not see the end of the struggle. Before any disturbance commenced, I heard cries from the women in Yaong-shing's house. It was then that the villagers armed themselves with spears and fought. I have not been in the village of Wong-ma-kok yet two norths have never seen the English officers in the village before. When I was at Wong-ma-kok, I lived in a room adjoining Chal-apo's.
