At a Public Meeting of Hong Kong residents held under the auspices of the Constitutional Reform Association of Hong Kong at the City Hall on Thursday, the 9th. January, after speeches affirming loyalty to the Crown and Empire, the following resolution was passed unanimously.
* That this Public Meeting of Hong Kong residents whilst
* affirming its unswerving loyalty to the Crown and Empire *is of opinion that the Instructions to His Excellency the "Governor relative to the mode of selection of members of the * Legislative Council require amendment in such a way as to
M
secure:-
* Firstly:
That as regards all the Unofficial members of the said Council (other than the two Chinese nominated
members) the principle of election instead of
nomination shall be applied.
Secondly: That the number of Unofficial members shall be
increased from six to nine, and the number of
Official members shall remain as at present,
namely eight.
H Thirdly: That of the seven elected Unofficial members
(all of whom shall be British subjects) one
shall be elected by the Hong Kong General Chamber
of Commerce; one by the Justices of the Peace; four (three of whom shall be of British race and
one of Portuguese race) by British subjects who
are jurymen, or are qualified for, but exempt from
jury service; and one by the Chinese Chamber of
Commerce, or some other body representative of the
Chinese Community.
"And in order that due and prompt attention and consideration
may be given to the opinion thus publicly expressed, this
Meeting requests the Government to transmit this resolution
by telegram to His Majesty's Secretary of State for the
Colonies".
