New little souls

New little fingers

New little tendrils
Round our hearts have grown.

And the old words,
Spoken long ago,
Keep the heart tender,

The Commission thought it best not to omit
making mention of those proposals, in which,
however, the Majority has not been able to find
any indication that could be made available.
An express prohibition against DAVIS labour
on Estates was by the Majority of the Commits
sion considered unnecessary that Majority has
confined itself to proposing such a wording of
the paragraph in question, whereby may be
avoided all the doubts hitherto proceeding from
the terms employed in the Labour-R Regulations (:

"AlI engagements of labourers ~n0n-domiciled
-...-.and all similar engagements"-and es-
tabllshed long contracts as a condition for all
Iabour,-with the only exception provided in
another in reference to STANDARDIZATION.
After the emanation of the Ordinance of oath
August 1867 yearly contracts reckoning for l
year from the day the labourer entered service
have been placed on an equal footing with o.
tober contracts according to the Regulations
there is therefore no reason to place the first
named class of contracts as exceptions. The
Commission has, however, considered it right
that contracts made to extend to the 1st of o.
t0ber after the expiration of the year, should be
placed on the same footing with the ordinary
yearly contracts, while the proposals excludes
contracts that expire on the 1st of October be-
fore the lapse of a year SO that for instance
a Iabourer entering service on the 18th of De-
cember must engage either to the following
18th of December or to the 1st of October the
succeeding year, while hitherto the duration Of
the contract could be fixed to the list of OctO-
Der Immediately following the date of the con-
tract.
Contracts for a longer term than year can
not at present,-only with this natural but i'm
material exception, that a Iabourer entering
service after the month of August must engage
TO serve till the LIST October the following year,
be made with labOurers in the Island. The
want OF power to make contracts for q longer
term has at times been felt, by employer as we'll
as l%abourer, especially in the case of immigrants
that bad not entered contracts at their place of
embarkation (see the Ordinance of End October
1862 5 I and 81 but had been engaged
there by the Agent Of this Islaud for a longer
term, for instance 3 years they could not be
allowed to establish that engagement by con-
tract made here. Even among our own ma
tive labOurers instances have occurred where
longer contracts were desired by them i: the
Committee thinks that they ought not to be
deprived the opportunity of doing so, even if,
on the other hand, such contracts do not merit
special Encouragement. The objection against
them is this, that the labourer may by the Of
