No. 2.
J. GARDINER AUSTIN,
Colonial Secretary.
GOVERNOR HENNESSY, C.M.G., to the EARL OF CARNARVON.
(No. 55.)
MY LORD,
August 18, 1877.)
(Received
Government House, Hong Kong, July 6, 1877. In my despatch No. 33 of the 13th of June, 1877, I reported to Your Lordship As far as I am that there seemed to be an excessive use of the lash in this Colony. aware there is no code of laws in any part of Her Majesty's Empire in which the power of flogging is so extensively given to Magistrates and Judges as in Hong Kong.
2. Looking however to the theory held by intelligent Europeana here as to the specially criminal character of the native population of the Colony, and to the views of experienced European officials and other gentlemen who have lived in Hong Kong for many years, that flogging is one of the very best modes of dealing with Chinese criminals, I am not prepared, without careful enquiry and much greater consideration than I have yet been able to give to the subject, to recommend a more humane code of laws or to make any attempt to assimilate in this respect the Ordinances of the Colony with the general practice of the British Empire.
3. But, whilst I note this state of the law without at present being able to lay before. Your Lordship any scheme for improving it, I have seen quite enough of the mode of its administration to feel justified in asking Your Lordship to sanction an alteration in some of the details of the punishment.
4. Your Lordship will have seen by Mr. Gardiner Austin's despatch, No. 56, of the 14th March last, that one of my predecessor's last acts was to remit the public floggings imposed on two Chinese prisoners who had also been sentenced to five years pena! servitude for "robbery in a boat in the harbour, being armed with an offensive weapon." 5. A few days after I arrived in the Colony two other Chinese were sentenced to three years penul servitude and to receive three public floggings each. One had been convicted of kidnapping, and the other of larceny and wounding. In accordance with what I understood to be usual practice, paragraphs appeared in the local newspapers announcing that two men were to be flogged at the public whipping post near the Harbour Master's Office, that is, in the busiest thoroughfare of the Colony at 4 p.m. on the 10th of May.
6. I did not think proper to interfere with the sentence; and, accordingly, the men were marched through the several crowded streets between the goal and the Harbour Master's Office and there publicly flogged.
On
7. Nine days after this I paid my first visit to the prison. On entering the Hospital two attenuated patients, apparently very weak, grovelled at my feet and cried. sending for an interpreter I found they were the men who had been flogged on the 10th of May. They complained that their flesh had been torn so much that the wounds would not heal and they could not sleep. Mr. Tomlin, the Acting Superintendent, counted, in my presence, the number of wounds still open. In a memorandum he made on the 21st of May he thus records the fact:-
