§ MR. CAINE (Bradford, E.)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies whether Chiatek Sun and Chin Sin Yung have been added to the Commission of the Peace for the Settlement of Penang; whether they are also appointed to be Visiting Justices for that Settlement; and if he is aware that both these persons are opium farmers under the Government, and are proprietors of opium smoking dens of a similar nature to those prohibited by the Indian Government; and if so, will he consider the advisability of removing their names from the Commission of the Peace?
§ THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES (Mr. S. BUXTON,) Tower Hamlets, PoplarWe have no information on the subject, the appointments being made by the Governor, but inquiry will be made.
