§ Mr. T. E. HARVEYasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether his attention has been called to the high mortality amongst men engaged as jinriksha coolies in the Straits Settlements, and the strain involved by the double jinriksha drawn by one coolie; and whether any regulations have been or are to be made to deal with this form of labour in the Colony?
Mr. HARCOURTI have not received any information on this subject, but I will send the question to the Governor, and ask him to consider the matter.
