BRITISH NORTH BORNEO
The territory of British North Borneo was acquired from the Sultans of Brunei and Sulu by cession for a small annual payment in 1879-80, and the British North Borneo Company was incorporated by Royal Charter on the 1st November, 1881. The area of the Territory is 31,106 square miles, and the population is estimated at about 200,000, of whom about 200 are European. The Company's authorised capital is £2,000,000, but the amount subscribed is so far less than £1,500,000. The Company has raised £500,000 in debentures and bonds at 5 per cent., but about one-fifth has already been paid off, and the remainder will be redeemed this year. In May, 1888, a British Protectorate was established. The following officers have administered the Government of the Territory since its acquisition by the Company:-1881-1887, W. H. Treacher; 1887-1888, W. M. Crocker (acting); 1888-1891, C. V. Creagh, C.M.G.; 1891-1892, L. P. Beaufort (acting); 1892, C. V. Creagh, c.M.6; 1895, L. P. Beaufort; 1900, Hugh Clifford, c.M.G.; 1901, E W Birch, C.M.G.; 1905, E. P. Gueritz; 1911, F. R. Ellis, C.M.G.
