Summary
Details

This is the official report of the Royal Commission appointed in New South Wales, Australia, in 1891 to investigate allegations of widespread Chinese gambling and immorality, as well as charges of bribery leveled against members of the police force. The document provides a detailed account of the commission's findings, including testimony, evidence, and conclusions regarding the social impact of Chinese immigration and the integrity of law enforcement during this period. The report offers valuable insights into the attitudes, prejudices, and legal issues surrounding Chinese communities in Australia at the close of the 19th century. It remains a significant historical record for researchers interested in immigration, law, and Australian history.
