Corrected and formatted the text according to the given rules. The main corrections include: 1. Replaced "Wong Kong" with "Hong Kong" as it is the correct name of the territory. 2. Replaced "lovernor" with "Governor" to correct the spelling. 3. Replaced "Veterinary -Surgeon" with "Veterinary Surgeon" to remove unnecessary spacing. 4. Replaced "tette" with "title" to correct the spelling, assuming it is an OCR error. 5. Replaced "affice" and "affice;" with "office" and "office;" respectively to correct the spelling. 6. Removed or corrected other minor spacing issues and typos. 7. The non-English character "я" was left as is within square brackets to indicate it is likely an OCR error or unrelated text. 8.
