The Hon. Mr. T. H. King said: Before Sir Shou-son Chow hands these medals to the recipients, I would like to explain briefly the ob- Ject of this gathering. The late Mr. Belilios established a fund in trust to provide for the grant of medals with or without monetary rewards to persons who performed acts of conspicuous valour, de- votion or self-denial, whether a life or lives be thereby saved or not, within the Colony of Hongkong or within the Hongkong. Canton or Macau waters,
in
I believe the medals were silluted in 1884, and awards have been made on various occasions. These medals are in no way con- ageted with the Police Department; It only happens that, as a role, nga of conspicuous valour, devotion ur self-denial, within the terms of the bequest, are brought to notice through reporta furnished by or through the Police. It then be comes a duty and a pleasure to bring such cases to the notice of the Government for recognition by grants of medals under the Belllios Trust, The Ofeial Trustee plays his part by occasional reminders to this department that he is only waiting to reward meritorious acts In the Colony, and it is a great pleasure to be able this afternoon lo draw upon his stocks and funds to beward seven members of the Chinese community. Five of these medals go to men who performed praise-worthy deeds in rescuing people from drowning. One medal goes to Sub-Officer Chan Wel-son, of the Fire Brigade, for devotion to. duty at a fire at Lai Chi Kok Rond.
