These 600 men, the sad relics of war, disease and climate, were assembled in the Buddhist temple, converted for a season to the purposes of Christian worship. Numbers had sunk into a premature grave, without the solaces of religion in their dying hour. The French ambassador, during his visit to that island, drew an invidious contrast in my hearing between the total absence for five years of the means of regular religious instruction for the British in Chusan, and the conduct of his own Government, who, in addition to other priests on board the frigate, allowed a private Chaplain for himself among his own suite.\n\nThe specific measure which I beg to recommend to your Lordship is the appointment of at least three additional Chaplains. One is required at the military post of Checkchoo, in the island of Hong Kong, at present without any religious instruction, except the occasional visit of the Military Chaplain from Victoria, at a distance of eight miles, with bad roads, over a mountainous line of country, which in that climate separates the two localities at the ordinary distance of 20 miles in England. Two Consulate Chaplains might be stationed with advantage at the two free ports of Canton and Shanghai, at each of which cities the British community is considerable, and where there are many sailors of the small sloops of war, and the numerous merchant vessels which frequent these ports.\n\n4. The last topic to which I beg your Lordship's permission to advert partakes of a more general character, but is in a no less degree identified with the duties and the interest of the British Government. I allude to the affording of reasonable facilities, by the Consular authorities in the five free ports, to British missionaries in the prosecution of their work.\n\nDuring my exploratory visit and residence at each of the five ports of China, I have enjoyed ample opportunities of intercourse with the natives, and of fully testing the groundlessness of any fears as to the Chinese viewing with alarm or jealousy the efforts of missionaries.\n\nAs a proof of the growing liberality of the Chinese Government, I may recall your Lordship's recollection to the Imperial Edict of universal religious toleration propounded two years ago by Ke-Ying, the Imperial Commissioner, and confirmed by successive supplementary edicts.\n\nBut I can adduce more positive proofs of the more tolerant spirit of the Chinese Government, as seen in the liberal disposition of the local mandarins. In the city of Amoy, I had constant access, with the other Protestant missionaries, to the highest local authorities, without any other official introduction than that of belonging to the missionary body. The five high mandarins of the city and district (two of whom belonged to the dominant race of Manchoo Tartars) gave jointly an invitation to a special entertainment to the missionary body, seven in number, including myself. The highest seats of honour were assigned to us; and on that and various other occasions a full acquiescence was expressed in the benevolence of the missionary work.\n\nI venture to submit this topic to your Lordship's consideration, from the knowledge that in some of the cities in China missionaries have gained a considerable and a rapidly increasing moral influence. I need not point out to your Lordship how important this influence with the intelligent portion of the Chinese may prove to British interests at this important crisis of national intercourse, and therefore how expedient it is that the most cordial relation should exist between the Consular authorities and the missionaries.\n\nThe Right Hon. the Earl Grey,\n\n&c.\n\n&c.\n\n&c.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(signed) George Smith.\n\nF\n\nON COLONIAL CHURCH LEGISLATION, &c.\n\n15\n\nEnclosure 2, in No. 1.\n\nSir,\n\nDowning-street, 19 March 1847. I AM directed by Earl Grey to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 16th January,* in which you bring under his Lordship's notice certain statements and suggestions on the subject of the religious and social affairs of the British settlement at Hong Kong,\n\nLord Grey directs me to express to you his regret that so much delay should have occurred in answering your letter. It has been occasioned by the necessity under which his Lordship has been placed, of collecting some further information explanatory of the real state of the case to which you refer.\n\nI am now to state, that until the receipt of your letter, Lord Grey had not been aware of the existence at Hong Kong, of the regulation that any Chinese is liable to be detained in custody for moving abroad in the streets or public roads after a certain hour in the evening without bearing a lantern, and a written note from his European employer. His Lordship, however, finds that your statement is confirmed by others possessing great means of information on the subject, and he therefore proposes immediately to call on the Governor for an explanation.\n\nLord Grey has attentively considered your suggestions for the establishment of an institution for the education of Chinese, and for making \"adequate provision for the spiritual wants of British subjects in China, military, civil, and mercantile.\" His Lordship directs me to inform you, that looking to the already heavy expense of the public establishments at Hong Kong, he is not prepared to consent to any increase of that expense for those objects, howsoever desirable they may be.\n\nRespecting the condition of the Church of England at Hong Kong, you state that while places of worship raised by the Roman-catholic, and by different Christian sects from Europe and America, and even a Mahomedan Mosque, built by the contributions of the poor Indian Sepoys and camp followers, have risen up with wonderful rapidity; at the period of your leaving China in May last, only a temporary building, almost the meanest edifice in the town, existed as a place for Divine worship, according to the ritual of the Church of England.\" From this statement, Lord Grey cannot but draw the conclusion, that the members of the Established Church have already been taught to depend too much upon assistance from the public, and too little on their own spontaneous exertions, and that to this cause must be ascribed the mortifying contrast which you describe between the efforts which they have made for the advancement of religious worship and instruction, and those of the members of other religious bodies.\n\nI have, &c.

Colonial Secretary,\n\nEnclosure 11.\n\n456\n\nI attach report from the Chief Detective Inspector with copy of refused charge and statement by sergeant in charge at Central re incident of two Germans and a Dane being met by Police Constable A33 Reid coming from a brothel in Old Bailey at about 1.30 in the morning. There was really nothing in this.\n\n2. Police Sergeant 61, Adlington states that on the night of the 30th ultimo at 10.15 p.m. he met Lance-Sergeant Cockle opposite No.2 College Gardens. There appeared to be a great jubilation going on by what appeared to be about 10 persons. The noise was a nuisance and I called the boy and told him to tell his master to tell his guests to make less noise. The master shortly afterwards came out of the front door and I spoke to him personally and asked him to stop the noise or I should have to report the matter. The noise then stopped and I went away. The master of the house was a German and I do not know his name. He was a tall man. This was the night of the last publication of the S.M.S \"Enden's\" capture of British boats.\n\n#\n\n3. Rev. Machonachie of Union Church who lives close to the German Club states that the Germans are behaving more quietly and orderly than ever at the German Club. He remembers that on the night following the first news of the \"Enden's\" capturing British ships they appeared to have a jubilation, but he had no cause for complaint. His only complaint is of the noise in the bowling alley which on some nights appears to go on all night. The noise is made by the balls rolling and knocking the pegs.\n\nAbove is the only evidence I have had regarding noise and rowdiness.\n\nI have been unable to get any evidence of their spreading rumours and inciting Indians and Chinese in this Colony against the United Kingdom.\n\nsd.\n\nC.

It therefore becomes necessary to register, not only the remaining mui-tsai who elect to stay with their owners, but also the adopted daughters. This is the system elsewhere. To check \"baby farming,\" all civilised governments find it necessary to keep in touch with orphans who may be adopted. These are frequently visited by inspectors, and that is the only way to guard against ill-treatment. Hongkong must have the same machinery.\n\nIt is pleaded that registration would be to no purpose, since the effort would merely result in pushing the misrepresentation one stage further back. Slave-owners would declare that the children were natural daughters, and, birth registration being haphazard in Hongkong, the claim could not be disputed. This plea cannot, however, be allowed to prevail. The children are purchased at an intelligent age and could be relied upon to some extent to tell the truth about their parentage. Alternatively, something should be done for the moral effect. Registration could be enforced by the simple expedient of imposing heavy fines upon all who were found guilty of disobeying the law.\n\nAs is aptly pointed out, the law punishes murders, but the authorities do not, cannot, set out to prevent murder: they deter by the severity of the punishment. The same argument applies to the mui-tsai problem. The Government, having declared all mui-tsai free, should now proceed against all owners of mui-tsai. At the same time, it should declare that all adopted children must be registered forthwith, and, after a reasonable time, it should proceed against as many foster parents as it can discover having failed to register. Inspectors should be appointed, and cruelty should be punished severely, as now.\n\nThese ways, only one of the tributary evils will be left—sale into prostitution. This is less easy to cope with, because the girls are usually of an age and are usually coached to make the application for registration personally. Short of abolishing all the tolerated houses, it is difficult to suggest a remedy. Primarily, however, the local anti-slavery movement is for the protection of children.\n\nThe Anti Mui-Tsai Society is on the right track in its insistence upon the registration not only of girl slaves but of adopted daughters. We need not argue again the merits and demerits of the mui-tsai system. In its best form it is a benevolent system, but, human nature being what it is, such a system cannot retain its best form; instead it degenerates into an evil, with the grossest cruelty. The crimes committed in the name of guardianship have received some publicity, and the Government must be commended for its prosecutions of those guilty of ill-treating slave children, but there are cases which are discussed in whispers, cases in which mui-tsai have been killed, and no one has been arraigned.\n\nIt is, of course, impossible to obtain evidence of these cases. We are convinced, however, that they did occur, and a system which lends itself to such inhumanity cannot be permitted to continue. It is six years since the Mui-Tsai Ordinance was passed, declaring that thereafter no mui-tsai might legally be purchased. Since then the Government has repeated its declaration that mui-tsai are free.\n\nThere are, however, still mui-tsai held in bondage. The pre-having Ordinance mui-tsai must by now be well into their teens, and many, no doubt, have been sold into marriage and other markets. The influx of families from the interior has, however, continued, and many of these families have brought their slaves with them. There is thus still work for the Anti Mui-Tsai Society to do, despite the technical abolition of the system.\n\nThe time has arrived, however, when the Society should broaden its activities. The bad effects of the mui-tsai system may be grouped under three heads: (1) Cruelty, (2) Sale into marriage, which often merely means transfer to a new owner, and (3) Sale into prostitution. Unfortunately, however, the abolition of the mui-tsai system does not mean the elimination of these bad effects. Owners of mui-tsai now call them adopted daughters, and the evidence of slave purchase is carefully destroyed.\n\nIn the circumstances, the adolescents must for the time being look after themselves. If the reformers persevere, it should be possible in the not distant future to care for all minors. For the moment, we suggest that the Anti Mui-Tsai Society should now form itself into a Society for the Protection of Children. The Colony has no organisation of the sort, and badly needs one. Correspondents make several efforts to explain why the S. P. C. A. movement is not supported in Hongkong. Another reason is that, while we protect chickens and dogs, we neglect the children.\n\nA Society for the Protection of Children need not ignore mui-tsai; and since the evils of the mui-tsai system might as easily attach to any system of adoption, or even to natural children, the reproaches which cling to the Colony would be attacked at the right end.\n\n## TUESDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1929\n\n### A Trivial Case\n\nExtract from the S. C. M. Post, of October 13, 1904:-\"The general manager of The South China Morning Post, Ltd, was summoned before Mr. Gompertz on Tuesday by Police Sergeant Adlington with placing six bales of paper on the footpath in front of the Company's offices. Cross-examined by the defendant, the sergeant was aware there were several feet of water in front of the premises, necessitating a six-foot plank from the kerb to the road. He did not see any building materials adjoining or in front of the offices. Mr. Cunningham stated that the bales were placed on the footpath by the Godown Company, were opened and the contents removed as speedily as possible. They could not be placed in the wet road. There was no obstruction to traffic except by persons using the Company's office and crossing the water by the plank. Half the front of the buildings, and the end of the footpath were blocked up by contractor's building materials. The case was a very trivial one and entailed a waste of valuable time. Mr. Gompertz announced that he had inspected the premises, and dismissed the summons.\"", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-516-6 The Mui-Tsai question 5-11-1929 - 21-1-1930.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 532171, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-536-9 Capt.

We sighted a steam vessel on the starboard bow about 5 miles away. Her course appeared to be about west. I watched her very carefully as her bearing did not alter so far as I could see.

With her bridge dead ahead at about ten minutes past eleven A.M. at a distance of about 100 feet I considered that a collision was inevitable if we held on our course and I put the helm hard a-starboard and jibed the main boom - a rather unpleasant proceeding - this avoided a collision.\n\nCommander Newill and Commander Docksey were with me.\n\n(sa).

COLCHESTERI, Wilson.\n\nG. A. C. HERKLOTS.\n\nThis is the first of what may prove to be a series of short articles on especially beautiful or interesting herbaceous plants of the island of Hong Kong and the Territories on the mainland. This Colony has a number of beautiful flowers other than those of the orchids or those borne by shrubs and trees; of these the Lily here described is the most magnificent and the most famous. Other plants, each of which well deserves an article to itself, are the Iris, Iris speculatrix, Hance; Belamcanda punctata, Manch (Pardanthus chinensis, Ker.); and Lycoris aurea, Herb., amongst the Monocotyledons and Platycodon grandiflorus, A.DC. (the Hong Kong Hairbell); Hoya carnosa, R. Br.; Aeginetia indica, Roxb.; and Nepenthes phyllamphora, Willd., (the Pitcher Plant), amongst the Dicotyledons.\n\nThe Lilies of\n\nA very complete description of this lily (illustrated by Plate IV) is given by the late Ernest H. Wilson in his book entitled \"Eastern Asia\" (6). I quote below extensively from this authority. On page 29 Wilson writes of Lilium Brownii F. E. Brown as follows:-\n\n\"This Lily is said to have been introduced into England about 1835, and to have first flowered with F. E. Brown at Slough, near Windsor, in 1837; about that date he gave three bulbs to M. Miellez, a horticulturist of Lille. In 1838, it was introduced into Belgium and Holland, and in 1841 made its public debut at a Horticultural Exposition held in Lille. It was at once acclaimed and its cultivation in Belgium and Holland assiduously entered upon. Where Brown obtained his bulbs from is unknown. According to Spa, von Siebold ventured the opinion that it might be a native of Nepal and also of China and Japan. To date no such Lily as L. Brownii F. E. Brown is known from Nepal. At the time of its introduction only the Dutch had trade intercourse with Japan and no Lily exactly agreeing with it has been found in Japan, though the variety colchesteri Wils. is cultivated there. In China at that date only Macao and Canton were open to trade (except that Spanish ships had a right to call at Amoy), but the British East India Company maintained a brisk trade with Canton and their ships continually brought back plants which notably enriched English gardens. These are the facts and since a wild Lily approximately identical with typical L. Brownii F. E. Brown grows in Hong Kong, on mountains near Canton and in the neighbouring province of Kwangsi, and that no such Lily has been found elsewhere, is it not reasonable to suppose that Brown's bulbs came from Canton? Moreover, the fragrant, yellow-throated var. colchesteri Wils. is authentically known to have reached England with L. tigrinum Ker-Gawl. from the Fa te Gardens, Canton, being sent by William Kerr to Kew on the East Indiaman \"Addington,\" Captain Kirkpatrick, in 1804.\"\n\n44\n\nHenry\n\nWilson then gives his arguments in favour of differentiating between the cultivated L. Brownii and the wildling L. Brownii var. colchesteri, the variety he writes on pages 31, 32, and 33.\n\nOf\n\nThe Hong Kong Naturalist.\n\nVol. III, No. 2.\n\nPlate 16.
