A tonnage \n\ndue payable in full of all charges. \n\nVI. Duties to be \n\nfees. \n\nV. Tonnage Dues. \n\nEvery English merchantman, on entering any one of the above-mentioned five ports, shall pay tonnage-dues at the rate of five mace per register-ton, in full of all charges. The fees formerly levied on entry and departure, of every description, are henceforth abolished. \n\nVI. Import and Export Duties. \n\nGoods, whether imported into, or exported from, any one of the above- charged according mentioned five ports, are henceforward to be taxed according to the Tariff as to tariff, and to be now fixed and agreed upon, and no further sums are to be levied beyond subject to no other those which are specified in the Tariff. All duties incurred by an English merchant-vessel, whether on goods imported or exported, or in the shape of tonnage-dues, must first be paid up in full; which done, the Superintendent of Customs will grant a port-clearance, and this being shown to the British Consul, he will thereupon return the ship's papers, and permit the vessel to depart. \n\nVII. Goods to \n\nbe examined by Custom-house \n\nVII. Examination of Goods at the Custom-house. \n\nEvery English merchant, having cargo to load or discharge, must give due intimation thereof, and hand particulars of the same to the Consul, who will immediately dispatch a recognized linguist of his own establishment to officer, in presence communicate the particulars to the Superintendent of Customs, that the goods may be duly examined, and neither party subjected to loss. The English merchant must also have a properly qualified person on the spot to attend to his interests when his goods are being examined for duty; otherwise, should there be complaints, these cannot be attended to. \n\nof merchant's \n\nagent. \n\nRegarding such goods as are subject by the Tariff to an ad valorem duty; Disputes regarding value for ad valorem if the English merchant cannot agree with the Chinese officer in fixing a duties, how settled., value, then each party shall call two or three merchants to look at the goods, and the highest price at which any of these merchants would be willing to purchase, shall be assumed as the value of the goods. \n\nTare how fixed. \n\nAppeal to Consul where disputes can- not otherwise be settled. \n\nVIII. Duties to \n\nshroffs. \n\nTo fix the tare on any article, such as tea; if the English merchant cannot agree with the Custom-house officer, then each party shall choose so many chests out of every hundred, which being first weighed in gross, shall after- wards be tared, and the average tare upon these chests shall be assumed as the tare upon the whole; and upon this principle shall the tare be fixed upon all other goods in packages. \n\nIf there should still be any disputed points which cannot be settled, the English merchant may appeal to the Consul, who will communicate the par- ticulars of the case to the Superintendent of Customs, that it may be equitably arranged. But the appeal must be made on the same day, or it will not be regarded. While such points are still open, the Superintendent of Customs will delay to insert the same in his books, thus affording an opportunity that the merits of the case may be duly tried and sifted. \n\nVIII. Manner of Paying the Duties. \n\nIt is hereinbefore provided, that every English vessel that enters any one be paid to licensed of the five ports, shall pay all duties and tonnage-dues before she be per- mitted to depart. The Superintendent of Customs will select certain shroff's, or banking establishments, of known stability, to whom he will give licences, authorizing them to receive duties from the English merchants on behalf of Government, and the receipt of these shroffs for any moneys paid them shall In the paying of these duties, be considered as a Government voucher. different kinds of foreign money may be made use of; but as foreign money is not of equal purity with sycee silver, the English Consuls appointed to the different ports will, according to time, place, and circumstances, arrange with \n\nbe \n\nPayment may made in foreign \n\nmoney. \n\nthe Superintendents of Customs at each, what coins may be taken in payment, Per centage on and what per centage may be necessary to make them equal to standard or foreign money, how pure silver. \n\nIX.

In case of any dispute arising between British merchants and Chinese officers of Customs, regarding the weights or measures of goods, reference shall be made to these standards, and disputes decided accordingly. \n\nX. Lighters or Cargo Boats. \n\nWhenever any English merchant shall have to load or discharge cargo, he may hire whatever kind of lighter or cargo-boat he pleases, and the sum may be engaged as \n\nX. Any boats to be paid for such boat can be settled between the parties themselves, with lighters, without out the interference of Government. The number of these boats shall not be limited, nor shall a monopoly of them be granted to any parties. If any \n\nlimit or monopoly. smuggling take place in them, the offenders will of course be punished according to law. Should any of these boat-people, while engaged in con- veying goods for English merchants, fraudulently abscond with the property, the Chinese authorities will do their best to apprehend them; but, at the same time, the English merchants must take every due precaution for the safety of their goods. \n\nXI. Transshipment of Goods. \n\nlicence. \n\nNo English merchant-ships may transship goods without special per- mission: should any urgent case happen where transshipment is necessary, ments only to be XI. Transship- the circumstances must first be submitted to the Consul, who will give a cer- made with special tificate to that effect, and the Superintendent of Customs will then send a special officer to be present at the transshipment. If any one presumes to transship without such permission being asked for and obtained, the whole of the goods so illicitly transshipped will be confiscated. \n\nXII. Subordinate Consular Officers. \n\nPakers \n\nXII. Subordinate \n\nAt any place selected for the anchorage of the English merchant-ships, there may be appointed a subordinate Consular officer, of approved good officers may be conduct, to exercise due control over the seamen and others. He must appointed at the exert himself to prevent quarrels between the English seamen and natives, shipping. this being of the utmost importance. Should any thing of the kind un- \n\nanchorages of the fortunately take place, he will in like manner do his best to arrange it amicably. When sailors go on shore to walk, officers shall be required to accompany them; and should disturbances take place, such officers will be held responsible. The Chinese officers may not impede natives from coming alongside the ships to sell clothes or other necessaries to the sailors living on board. \n\nXIII. Disputes between British Subjects and Chinese. \n\nXIII. Disputes \n\nWhenever a British subject has reason to complain of a Chinese, he must first proceed to the Consulate and state his grievance.

It was evidently intended that this letter should have reached England by the last mail from India, but it has only been received at the India Board on this morning, together with that of the 9th of October. \n\nI have felt it right to communicate to the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, a copy of Lord Auckland's letter to Sir Henry Pottinger of the 9th of October, which refers to the payment for opium seized by the Chinese authorities at Canton. \n\nI have not received any copy of the letter to Captain Kuper, mentioned in Lord Auckland's despatch to Sir William Parker of the 9th of October. \n\nI have, &c. \n\n(signed) \n\nFitzgerald & Vesci. \n\nEnclosure in No. 18. \n\nEnclosure in No. 17. \n\nA DEMAND for the under-mentioned quantity of provisions required to complete Her Majesty's Naval Forces in China (amounting to 4,200 men), from the 1st September 1842 to the 28th February 1843. \n\nBread Spirits \n\nFlour \n\nSuet \n\nTea Chocolate \n\nOatmeal \n\nProportion for 4,200 men for 181 days. \n\n756,000 pounds \n\n760,200 \n\n25,987 imperial gallons \n\n23,756 \n\n212,625 pounds \n\n213,804 \n\n10,514 ditto \n\n17,818 \n\nRaisins \n\n35,437 ditto \n\n35,836 \n\n11,812 ditto \n\n11,878 \n\n9,919 ditto \n\n47,512 \n\nSugar \n\n82,687 ditto \n\n71,268 \n\n6,750 gallons \n\n6,787 \n\nVinegar \n\n5,432 ditto \n\n6,787 \n\nLemon Juice \n\n3,800 pounds. \n\nPreserved Meats. \n\nWith a proportion of \n\nPreserved Soups. \n\nWine for Sick. \n\nGiven under \n\nmy \n\nhand at Chusan, 16 November 1841. \n\n(signed) \n\nRoddam Sate, \n\nApproved. \n\n(signed) \n\nW.

S. \n\nHonourable Sir, \n\n(Received 6 December 1841.) \n\nFort William, 16 September 1841. \n\nI HAVE the honour to enclose a copy of a despatch dated 15th instant, No. 759, and of its Encl. in No. 18. enclosures, from the Military Board of this Presidency; and to state that it appears to me very desirable that early measures should be taken for sending from England the provisions noted in paragraph 3 of that despatch, so as to reach Hong-Kong certainly not later than 1st July 1842. \n\n2. It will be necessary that intimation of the orders issued upon this recommendation should be communicated to this government by the earliest possible opportunity, so that, should it not be approved, immediate measuresmay be taken for completing the required stock of provisions at this place. An answer to this letter cannot be received from you until about the 18th or 20th of December next, and every day will be of importance at that period of the season, for the better preparation of the necessary stock of salt meat. You will be aware, however, that the salt meat cured in India is of exceedingly inferior quality, and it is on that account especially that I would strongly urge a compliance with this suggestion for meeting the wants of the expedition from England. \n\n3.

LAY, Esq., \n\nSir, \n\nOfficiating Consul, Canton. \n\nI deem it advisable to reply in an official form to your private letters of the and instants, with the twofold object of placing my sentiments on record for the future guidance of yourself and Her Majesty's other Consuls in China, as far as they may be applicable to their stations, and of making those sentiments public, for general information. \n\nYou will see from the Notification which I have had published in all the news- papers under date the 14th instant, that I highly approve of your Circular dated the 28th of July, regarding ships' Manifests, and that none are to be received in which the rules \n\nyou have laid down shall be omitted. \n\nI am glad to find from your recent letters that such a change for the better had my let- taken place, that you and Mr. Thom had considered it unnecessary to deliver ter to the Imperial Commissioner, regarding the delays in the Hoppo's establishment. I need hardly say, that I quite concur in the opinion you express, and the answer you gave, when referred to, respecting the Linguists. I told you in my original in- structions, to bear in mind \"That it is no part of the duty of the British Government or its officers to render mercantile firms or individuals any assistance in conducting their business, beyond what is laid down expressly in the General Regulations;\" and I remarked, that I considered it advisable and right to draw your particular at- tention to this fact, as I had had reason to believe, that an impression had been imbibed, that Government was bound by its officers and establishments to supply, in some measure, the loss of the agency of the abolished Hong Merchants. I also pointed out, that such an impression was equally erroneous and absurd, as demonstrated by the General Regulations and Tariff being applicable to the five ports, at four of which no such thing as liceused merchants had to my knowledge ever existed. \n\nYou were quite right to submit Mr. Coolidge's petition to the Imperial Com- missioner, but, in doing so, you ought to have particularly explained, that it was handed up by him in his capacity of agent to a British firm, and not as an ‘American merchant,' which His Excellency appears to have understood from his reply. That reply is, in my estimation, highly satisfactory; for although it does not immediately remove the obstacles to trade of which Mr. Coolidge had complained, it distinctly admits, that the late Hong Merchants are no longer the servants of, or under the dictation of, the Chinese Government; and could the pecuniary demand which is hanging over those individuals on behalf of the imperial government only be adjusted to their satisfaction, or altogether removed, they would stand, as merchants, in a posi- tion of independence and stability, which they have never before enjoyed at any period of our connection with China. \n\nI propose to publish this letter, as well as the Imperial Commissioner's reply to Mr. Coolidge's petition; and adverting to the matters and occurences to which they refer, and the consequent disappointment and clamor which has been felt and raised, I likewise think it expedient to append to them a passage of my original In- structions to you, from which it will be seen, that from the first, I considered the delays and trouble that have arisen, to be inseparable from the introduction of the new system in the commerce of Canton. \n\nI have the honor to be, &c., \n\nHENRY POTTINGER.

The fees formerly levied on entry and departure, of every description, are henceforth abolished. \n\nVI. Import and Export Duties. \n\nGoods, whether imported into, or exported from, any one of the above- charged according mentioned five ports, are henceforward to be taxed according to the Tariff as to tariff, and to be now fixed and agreed upon, and no further sums are to be levied beyond subject to no other those which are specified in the Tariff. All duties incurred by an English merchant-vessel, whether on goods imported or exported, or in the shape of tonnage-dues, must first be paid up in full; which done, the Superintendent of Customs will grant a port-clearance, and this being shown to the British Consul, he will thereupon return the ship's papers, and permit the vessel to depart. \n\nVII.

Duties to \n\nshroffs. \n\nTo fix the tare on any article, such as tea; if the English merchant cannot agree with the Custom-house officer, then each party shall choose so many chests out of every hundred, which being first weighed in gross, shall after- wards be tared, and the average tare upon these chests shall be assumed as the tare upon the whole; and upon this principle shall the tare be fixed upon all other goods in packages. \n\nIf there should still be any disputed points which cannot be settled, the English merchant may appeal to the Consul, who will communicate the par- ticulars of the case to the Superintendent of Customs, that it may be equitably arranged. But the appeal must be made on the same day, or it will not be regarded. While such points are still open, the Superintendent of Customs will delay to insert the same in his books, thus affording an opportunity that the merits of the case may be duly tried and sifted. \n\nVIII. Manner of Paying the Duties. \n\nIt is hereinbefore provided, that every English vessel that enters any one be paid to licensed of the five ports, shall pay all duties and tonnage-dues before she be per- mitted to depart. The Superintendent of Customs will select certain shroffs, or banking establishments, of known stability, to whom he will give licences, authorizing them to receive duties from the English merchants on behalf of Government, and the receipt of these shroffs for any moneys paid them shall In the paying of these duties, be considered as a Government voucher. different kinds of foreign money may be made use of; but as foreign money is not of equal purity with sycee silver, the English Consuls appointed to the different ports will, according to time, place, and circumstances, arrange with \n\nbe \n\nPayment may made in foreign \n\nraoney. \n\n} \n\nthe Superintendents of Customs at each, what coins may be taken in payment, Per centage ou and what per centage may be necessary to make them equal to standard or foreign money, how pure silver. \n\nIX.

Lighters or Cargo Boats. \n\nWhenever any English merchant shall have to load or discharge cargo, he may hire whatever kind of lighter or cargo-boat he pleases, and the sum may be engaged as \n\nX. Any boats to be paid for such boat can be settled between the parties themselves, with lighters, without out the interference of Government. The number of these boats shall not be limited, nor shall a monopoly of them be granted to any parties. If any \n\nlimit or monopoly. smuggling take place in them, the offenders will of course be punished according to law. Should any of these boat-people, while engaged in con- veying goods for English merchants, fraudulently abscond with the property, the Chinese authorities will do their best to apprehend them; but, at the same time, the English merchants must take every due precaution for the safety of their goods. \n\nXI.

Sir,-As it entails upon the commercial community immense inconvenience to have the packets of ships arriv ing at Macao (and the master of almost every merchant vessel first reports himself here to the consignee) sent over to Hongkong (where none but H. M. servants reside), to be opened by you, we have to request you will be good enough to appoint so he person to do the needful here. \n\nThe Madagascar is a case in point, for the packets by her, though landed at the Hotel, could not be opened in consequence of a recent order of yours to the contrary, but were sent to Hongkong and returned here four days after. wards; the City of Palaces having in the meanwhile left for Calcutta, by which, had the steamer's letters been dis. tributed on arrival, we should have been able to forward \n\nWe have the honor to be, Sir, replies. \n\nYour most obedient servants, \n\nDENT & CO. \n\nMACVICAR & Co. \n\nLINDSAY & Co. \n\nBELL & CO. \n\nTo Messrs. Dent & Co. and others, \n\nH. M. Subjects at Macao. \n\nMacao, Monday, 20th September, 1841. Gentlemen,- yesterday received your letter without date respecting the arrangements that, with some pains, I have made to insure the safety of all letters coming to this country to the address of the Postmaster at Hong- kong. These arrangements have not been made unadvi- sedly, but are the result of some observation and experi- ence: and believe they will be found in the long run to insure better than any other, my main object, as well as expedition in the delivery of the majority of the letters coming under my consideration. \n\nI am sorry that part of the English commercial com. munity residing at Macao should not receive their letters so expeditiously as they wish. But, although I am anxions to facilitate all commercial operations wherever they are carried on, 1 at the same time must not lose sight of other public interests, and I do not at present see that I can obtain my object by any other means than those I have adopted. \n\nI think the power to prevent much of the inconvenience you complain of is in your own hands: for those who like it can always appoint an agent at Hongkong to receive their letters, and to send them over here by any opportu. nity they may prefer, if they are not satisfied with allowing them to be sent over here for them to the Superintendent's office. \n\nIt is likewise in your power, Gentlemen, to instruct yourr respective agents at the different places from which you are in the habit of receiving letters not to have them made up in the packets addressed to the Postmaster at Hong- kong. \n\nIn order that there may be no mistake on this subject, I request you will be so good as to have this correspon. dence made as public as it is possible, either by publication in the newspapers, or by any other means that you may think most desirable. I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, \n\nYour Obedient Humble Servant, \n\nA. R. JOHNSTON, Deputy Superintendent. \n", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-010 - Sir Henry Pottinger - 1843.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 220511, "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": "CO129-010 - Sir Henry Pottinger - 1843", "page_number": 106, "title": "CO129-010 - Sir Henry Pottinger - 1843", "content_text": "NOTIFICATION. \n\nHer Britannic Majesty's Chief Superintendent of trade &c., &c., in China, being about to remove his esta blishments from Macao to Honkong.

Masters and others in charge of Merchant Vessels are required to hoist their numbers on entering the Port of Victoria. The demand will be made from the Harbour Master's Hill and attention is particularly required to all signals,\n\n2. Masters and other persons in charge of Merchant vessels must on arrival within twenty-four hours, report themselves at the Harbour Master's Office and produce Ship's Articles, list of Passengers and Manifest of Cargo and deposit the Ship's register if required under a penalty not exceeding $200 on refusal or neglect of the Master or other person in charge to do so.\n\n3. In the event of the death of any of the Crew, Passengers or other persons occurring on board of any Merchant vessel whilst in the Port or in case of the desertion or removal of any of the Crew the Master or other person in charge of such vessel shall forthwith report the same in writing to the Harbour Master under a penalty of $25 for every death desertion or removal which he shall so neglect to report.\n\n4. No Master or other person in charge of a Merchant vessel, shall wilfully or negligently leave behind him in this Colony any seaman brought to it on board his vessel unless on a certificate from the Harbour Master or other person appointed to grant the same and if any such Seaman shall wilfully or negligently remain in the Colony after the departure of the vessel which brought him to it without permission of the Harbour Master or other person appointed to grant the same such seaman shall on conviction forfeit and pay a sum not exceeding $25 or in default of payment thereof be liable to arrest as a vagrant and be dealt with accordingly.\n\n5. All Seamen permitted to land from Merchant vessels on liberty are to be furnished with a ticket of leave, under the hand of the master or person in charge of the vessel to which such seaman may belong in default of which they will be liable to the penalties imposed by Ordinance No. 18. But this regulation is not to be considered applicable to men who may come on shore for a short time on duty or business.\n\n6. Every Master or other person in charge of a Merchant vessel arriving at the said Port shall take up the berth pointed out by the Harbour Master and shall not remove from it without his permission under a penalty of $100. He shall also remove his Vessel to any new berth pointed out by the Harbour Master under a fine of $20 for every hour that the vessel shall remain in her old berth after a written notice to shift signed by the Harbour Master shall have been delivered on board of her.\n\n7. All Masters or other persons in charge of vessels are immediately to strike their topgallant yards and masts, to have their jib and spanker booms rigged close in and moor, or clear hawse when called upon by the Harbour Master to do so; and are generally, to follow such directions as the state of the weather, the crowded condition of the Port, or other circumstances, may render necessary or expedient in the judgment of the Harbour Master, with a view to the safety of the whole shipping; and any master or other persons in charge of vessels disobeying or neglecting this Regulation will subject themselves to a fine not exceeding $200, exclusive of payment of all expenses that may be incurred by reason of their said vessels breaking adrift and occasioning damage subsequent to the precautionary orders of the Harbour Master being delivered on board.\n\n8. Transports entitled to carry Pendants will be always berthed by their own agent; and the Harbour Master will make application to the Senior Naval Officer on the spot, respecting any movement connected with such transport that he may judge necessary for the general safety of the shipping in the said Port.\n\n9. Every Master or other person in charge of a merchant vessel shall deliver as soon as possible after his arrival in the said Port all Public Mails entrusted to him for delivery therein and if he shall refuse or neglect to deliver up the same immediately on his arrival or as soon as possible after the same he shall forfeit and pay the sum of $100 for every mail bag or box so unlawfully detained and he shall also deliver to the Post Office any loose letters in his possession addressed to persons in this Colony.\n\n10. All Masters or other persons in charge of vessels about to proceed to sea are to give notice thereof in writing to the Harbour Master and hoist a Blue Peter at least 24 hours before the time of intended departure under a penalty not exceeding $50 unless the Harbour Master shall think fit for a sufficient cause to dispense with the observance of this regulation and it is hereby notified that no vessel will be allowed to depart the master or other person in charge of which shall not have previously paid any fines or expenses awarded or incurred for breach of these regulations.\n\n11. It being obviously necessary, that all vessels should be furnished with some sort of Port Clearance, or certificate of their being allowed to proceed on their intended voyages from the said Port to obviate the risk of their being detained at sea, on account of informality, by any of Her Majesty's Ships which they may fall in with, it is further notified, that the Harbour Master of the said Port will henceforward furnish to all ships such Port Clearances, or certificates, agreeable to a form to be deposited in their Office, and will likewise attest their Manifests (duplicates whereof are to be left with the said Harbour Master); and every vessel neglecting to obtain these papers previous to her departure will do so at her own risk of being seized and detained.\n\n12. All Passage Boats, Lorchas, or other small vessels, plying between Hongkong and Macao or Canton, are required to make known their intended departure two hours before they start, by hoisting a Blue Peter.\n\n13. Seamen or other persons dying on board any ship shall not be thrown overboard within the limits of the said port under a penalty of $25 to be paid by the Master or other person in charge of the vessel on board of which such Seaman or other person died.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-011 - Sir John Davis - 1845 [1-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 221363, "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": "CO129-011 - Sir John Davis - 1845 [1-4]", "page_number": 166, "title": "CO129-011 - Sir John Davis - 1845 [1-4]", "content_text": "No 26.\n\nA\n\nCivil\n\nCecllpects to Agent 22 Jal)45\n\nAina 105.5 he\n\nMy Lord,\n\nC.0.\n\nMAY 30 1845\n\n154\n\nVictoria, Honghing,\n\n8th March, 1845.\n\nI have the honor to inform your\n\nLordship, that, with the concurrence\n\nof the\n\nof\n\nExecutive Council, I have granted leave\n\nof absence to Lieutenant Pedder for\n\none\n\nyear, to date from the 10th Instant, to proceed to England\n\non sick certificate,\n\nfor the recovery of his health\n\nThat Officer, after serving\n\non board\n\nthe Nemesis, Steamer, was\n\nappointed\n\nto\n\ncarry\n\nout\n\nthe duties of Harbour Master\n\nin the\n\ncolony.

The first step is to correct obvious errors and reorganize the text.\n\n## Step 2: Apply Markdown formatting for structure.\nThe text should be formatted using Markdown for headers, sections, and bold text where appropriate.\n\n## Step 3: Correct spelling errors and fix spacing issues.\nCorrecting spelling errors and fixing spacing issues are crucial. For example, \"House d Commo\" could be \"House of Commons\", \"Boa\" might be \"Board\", and \"oreign\" likely is \"Foreign\".\n\n## Step 4: Rejoin broken sentences and restore paragraph breaks.\nSentences split across lines or columns should be rejoined, and paragraph breaks should be restored where necessary.\n\n## Step 5: Indicate missing words and follow other specific rules.\nMissing words due to OCR damage should be indicated with \"...\". Other rules, such as not rephrasing or rewriting the text, should be followed.\n\n## Step 6: Format file references and page numbering correctly.\nFile references should have no spaces inside parentheses, and page numbering should be preserved as is if it matches the specified format.\n\n## Step 7: Reorder newspaper texts if necessary and reconstruct tables.\nIf the text is from a newspaper and is out of order due to OCR column recognition issues, it should be reordered. Data in tables should be properly organized.\n\n## Step 8: Adjust Chinese writing direction if necessary.\nIf Chinese text is encountered that is written from right to left, it should be reversed to left to right to meet modern reading habits.\n\n## Step 9: Output the corrected text in HTML format using for paragraphs.\nThe final step is to output the corrected and formatted text in HTML.\n\nGiven the complexity and the specific instructions, let's directly correct and format the given text:\n\nHouse of Commons\n\nAdmiralty\n\nAgent\n\nBoard of Trade\n\nBoard\n\nForeign\n\nOffice\n\nComptroller of\n\nAudit.\n\n20.\n\nRavens...if\n\nThe Lords Commissioners of the Treasury have been representing to me that the Comptroller and Auditor General of Revenue in that Colony has suggested that supplies of Stationery should be sent out from this Country.

It is also remarkable that they are marked with Chinese Characters themselves well on those characters.

The others were all numbered beforehand instances the clamps the numbers which however on removal were closed, the end of the 130 on for the nought coval of the clamps, is in an unfinished state, which leads me to believe that the Counterfeit box was ready prepared to ship into the place of the true one at some opportune time after the Boxes had been placed in the Chop Boat, but that the thief being uncertain of the number of the box he might thus be concealed their were distinctly legible.\n\nThe cords at the extreme ends also are of stouter and differently manufactured rope.\n\nThe Box itself does not appear to me to have been made in Canton, it being of a slovenly construction evidently done by a Carpenter at Whampoa daily.

I make the following remarks:\n\nI received a communication from the Colonial Office, which was communicated to me by the Secretary of Sir Henry Pottinger in the following terms:\n\n\"I am directed by the Convener to inform you that the Lots of ground claimed by you are to be guided by the general Rules laid down for all other lands, and which Rules will be promulgated hereafter.\n\nI am, however, at the same time to inform you that the ground comprising the Lots has been recommended for Ordnance purposes, and therefore it is probable that no part will be available in any way to Her Majesty's Government, pending a further reference.\"\n\nFrom this, I inferred that I should either receive the land or compensation for it, and the case remained in this situation when Sir Henry Pottinger left the Colony in November 1844.\n\nHaving learnt that the Agent was unable to obtain possession of the ground, I again addressed Lord Stanley on the subject, and my letter was referred to Sir John Francis Davis, the then Governor; and Correspondence has hitherto been unsuccessful in obtaining any compensation for the hardship which I think I may justly say I have sustained.\n\nThe claim for compensation which I make is now under the consideration of the Government.\n\nThe ground was assigned to Captain Calth, under the special condition that the buildings were to be completed within a certain time, actually occupied was seven to eight months, this condition had not been complied with. To this, I reply that this condition was never communicated to me, neither was it during the sale; and an enquiry afterwards at the Land Office showed that there was no record of it.\n\nI believe that in consequence of the absence of the then Land Officer, Captain Calth, at the time of W. Caine's arrival, then acting Land Officer, there was no one on the spot acquainted with this condition; and the terms of W. Caine's certificate of March which he granted in the usual terms \"subject to the regulations\" show that he was not acquainted with it.\n\nThe time which the land remained in my possession was three months, and it is very certain that if I had known of this condition, I would never have bought it, neither should the Government have transferred it to me!\n\nBut it will be seen that this condition is quite inconsistent with the official letter which I received in reply to mine of Nov 26.\n\nAccording to the letter, the ground would have been equally forfeited in which...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-018 - Others - 1846.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 224717, "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": "CO129-018 - Others - 1846", "page_number": 624, "title": "CO129-018 - Others - 1846", "content_text": "the three months the ground remained in my possession.

That on enquiring at the Land Office, I was informed that there was no record in the Books of that office of the ground being subject to any such conditions. Until then, I was not even aware it had been originally granted to Capt Meills, and I had further assurance from the public Notification by Sir Henry Pottinger - authorising the sale of the land offered for purchase, and of the Government documents making it over to me; while, from the serious fact that the seller, Capt Meills, having been Government Land Agent when the original grant was made, it might be presumed that I had an additional guarantee - if such were wanting - that no irregularity could attach to it; and I would leave the case for their Lordships' decision.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\n\"Your most obedient servant,\n\nNacht Mabete\n\nPage 64\n\nI made the following changes:\n1.

M. Martin, Esq.\n\n18 May 1847.\n\n[ 8 ]\n\nprevent the English merchants carrying on the trade. That treaty, I believe, is not known at the Foreign Office; I obtained it at the India House.\n\n3971. Was Mr. Crawfurd agent at the time it was made?-Mr. Crawfurd was agent.\n\n3972. Was it between the King of Siam and the East India Company?— Yes. But it is held valid by the Crown of England.\n\n3973. Would not it go to the Board of Control, under Mr. Pitt's Act?—Yes, the Board of Control, certainly. There is a treaty between the United States of America and Siam on the 3d of March 1843, which is an excellent treaty, and is in operation. A considerable trade is now carrying on under it. I will hand in a copy of this treaty. (The same was delivered in. Vide Appendix.)\n\n3974. Do the Americans carry on any trade with Siam now?-They do, and are endeavouring to do so with Cochin China; and there is a large supply of sugars, &c. to be obtained in those countries.\n\n3975. Have you any remarks to make upon the trade between Singapore and China?—I have some Returns prepared of the trade between Singapore and China for 10 years; it is an increasing traffic.\n\n3976. What does it consist of principally-In what is termed Straits' produce, which consists of rattans, rice, drugs, dried fish, birds' nests, and various commodities. These Returns have been prepared for me by the Governor of Singapore, which will illustrate the trade of China and Singapore; they contain both the values and the quantities. (The same were delivered in. Vide Appendix.) I obtained from the collector of customs at Bombay the official Returns of the trade between China, Bengal, and Bombay, giving the quantities and the values. These are the official Returns transmitted to me by the collector of customs at Calcutta and Bombay. (The same were delivered in. Vide Appendix.)\n\n3977. Is the cotton trade increasing now from India to China?-The cotton trade has diminished. The Americans have been pushing the trade in raw cotton from the United States.\n\n3978. Is that an increasing trade-It has fallen off the last year; but for several years it had been slowly increasing. The quantity of cotton twist that goes to China diminishes very much the importation of raw cotton from India.\n\n3979. The quantity of cotton twist imported into China increases ?—Yes.\n\n3980. From whence?-From England and from the United States.\n\n3981. The supply of China itself, of raw cotton, and cotton twist, for its manufactures, is insufficient I should think so; the importations have increased very largely.\n\n3982. Do not they grow very fine cotton there -Yes; but insufficient for the population. In the northern districts of China, the people are clad in sheep skins or cotton quilt.\n\n3983. Have you any means of judging of the extent to which we might push the trade in woollens with China?-If we had stations to the northward, they would be advantageous for that purpose. In the southern districts the people are clothed in cotton.\n\n3984. Does not Shang-hai, by opening more communication with the north of China, enable us to send our woollens to the northward?-Yes; but not so well as if we had a station at Tientzin, the port of Pekin,\n\n3985. Would not the Chinese object to our coming so near the capital?- The Tartar government might object to that, but there is in some of the Chinese statesmen a desire to cultivate relations with England.\n\n3986. Have you prepared a report upon the tea trade?-I have prepared and submitted to Her Majesty's Government a report on the tea trade. On proceeding to China, it was stated to me, that any information which I could collect, and any reports which I could make, would be acceptable to Her Majesty's Government, and I prepared this Report and this Table, a copy of which beg to lay before the Committee. (The same were delivered in. Vide Appendix.) I should state that I have the misfortune to differ from the opinions which have been promulgated before this Committee with reference to the reduction of the duty. The evidence of that Table is to demonstrate that the tea consumption has increased in this country irrespectively of the duty levied by the Government. In the last five years there has been an increase of 10,000,000 of pounds, therefore, showing that it is not the rate of duty which impedes the consumption. If the Government could afford to give up a portion\n\nof\n\n[ 9 ]\n\nof the 5,000,000 l. of duty levied upon tea, it would be an experiment; but I do not believe it would reduce the price of tea, or benefit the commerce of the country.\n\nR. M. Martin, Esq.\n\n18 May 1847.\n\n3987. Would it not increase the consumption of tea?--I do not think it would. I think tea is a very peculiar article as to its consumption; that it is out of the category of sugar and other commodities, and that mere cheapness of price will not cause an increased consumption. I am prepared to offer evidence to show that in different countries in Europe, where tea at one time was largely consumed, yet though no duty was levied, the consumption entirely fell off.\n\nIn the United States\n\n3988. Owing to what causes?-Change of taste. latterly there has been no duty, and the consumption of tea has not increased in any proportion whatever; and therefore the duty, which must be maintained by the Government for its revenue, may as well be levied on tea as on other commodities. I, for one, would rather see the people of this country possessed of the means of obtaining malt liquor free than tea cheap; it would be more beneficial to the working classes to have beer cheap than to have very cheap tea. I consider the excessive use of tea injurious. In the case of our factory population living on vegetable diet, the using tea largely produces a very deleterious effect upon them.\n\n3989. Have you any other observations to offer upon our trade with China? -Not beyond this; that it would be exceedingly advisable for Her Majesty's Government to dispatch a mission to China for the purpose of obtaining a modification of the treaty, perfect freedom of intercourse, and the opening of other ports to the northward.\n\n3990. And you believe that such an attempt would be successful?—I believe that if properly conducted it would be highly beneficial, and would be met with a feeling, if not of very cordial amity, yet at least of a desire to hold friendly intercourse with us.\n\n3991. Sir G. Staunton] Do you consider that the present decay of trade at Hong Kong arises from unavoidable circumstances, or that there is any change of system which the Government could adopt that might restore it to a state of prosperity ?—I have no desire to avoid giving an answer to that question, inasmuch as I think there have been strong expressions against the existing mode of government in Hong Kong. I believe that the Honourable Baronet who is at the head of Her Majesty's government in China, is a gentleman of great intelligence, of good business habits, and not indisposed to carry out the most beneficial measures for the interest both of the government he represents, and of the community over whom he presides; I think the difficulties that have arisen have been difficulties arising rather from the nature of the place, than from the measures adopted. I very much regret that Sir John Davis did not more directly look in the face the very great difficulties which he had to contend with, instead of endeavouring by a system of taxation and legislation to raise up the place to what was expected. I think it has been unfortunate for himself, and has caused a great deal of the disappointment that has ensued. I entertain for Sir John Davis in many regards a respect, and though I had the misfortune to differ with him upon the question of opium, and was compelled to resign my position in Her Majesty's service because I was refused by him six months' leave of absence, I think Sir John Davis under other circumstances would have made a good governor.\n\n3992. Supposing that in raising the present revenue he acted under instructions from home, you do not see how a similar revenue could be raised in any other manner more satisfactorily to the colony-Had the Governor used his discretion in representing that it was not possible to raise a revenue without diminishing the commerce or injuring the merchants in their endeavours to make the place more available for trade, I think he would have exercised a sound discretion. It was an endeavour to realize the representations which had been made. For instance, Her Majesty's Government were informed that Hong Kong would be the Carthage of the east. In another communication they were informed that it would have a population equal to ancient Rome.

However, the given text does not seem to be directly related to Hong Kong or is not in English, making it challenging. The instructions emphasize preserving the original word count and order, correcting spelling errors, fixing spacing issues, and formatting in Markdown.\n\n## Step 2: Analyze the given text\nThe text provided is a jumbled mix of numbers, dates, and text in a non-English script, possibly Urdu. It includes what appears to be financial or statistical data, dates, and possibly names or locations.\n\n## Step 3: Apply the rules for proofreading\n1. **Format**: The text needs to be transformed into standard Markdown. However, given the nature of the text, identifying headers, sub-headers, or bold text is challenging.\n2. **Preserve original content**: The original word count and order must be preserved.\n3. **Correct spelling errors**: This is difficult due to the language and script used.\n4. **Fix spacing issues**: Extra spaces need to be removed, and missing spaces need to be added.\n5. **Rejoin broken sentences**: The text does not clearly contain sentences that need to be rejoined.\n6. **Restore paragraph breaks**: Paragraph breaks need to be identified and restored.\n7. **Indicate missing words**: If a word is missing due to OCR damage, `...` should be inserted.\n\n## Step 4: Attempt to format and correct the text\nGiven the complexity and the language barrier, a direct correction is challenging. The text appears to be a table or a list of financial transactions or records with dates.\n\n## Step 5: Output in HTML as per the final instruction\nSince the task requires outputting in HTML using `` for paragraphs and the original text is not in a straightforward paragraph format, we will attempt to preserve the original structure as much as possible.\n\nکھائی \n\nIntand \n\n150, Deased 2.4 Verne, 1844.

By a glance at the map, your Lordship will at once perceive the serious difficulties that present themselves against this nefarious system being effectually suppressed; and it indeed may be said that the Pirates should be rooted out by the Chinese authorities. Nevertheless, the interests of this Colony demand that, to a certain extent, we should protect our Coasts and the waters in our immediate vicinity.\n\n5. The various means of disguise adopted by the Pirates, the long intervals before Piracies are reported, the difficulty of distinguishing Pirate boats from trading boats, the numerous harbours in all directions accessible to their boats in the Chinese Territories, all tend to render their capture nearly hopeless, either by the boats of men-of-war or by others of European construction.\n\n6.

His Excellency has favoured me with a reply, by which it would seem that in his opinion this amalgamation would not be convenient. From his letter I however find that the annual expense of the naval civil department amounts to £2,365l. 17s. 1d. per annum. The nature and quantity of stores do not appear. They are generally reported however to be infinitely greater than necessary, and have been collected and sent out no doubt under an impression that the naval force would be on a more extensive scale than it now is, or is ever likely to be. By Sir Henry Pottinger's letter No. 29 of 3rd April, 1843, to the Earl of Aberdeen, I find that he proposed the following as a fitting naval force for the station.\n\n4 Frigates.\n\n7 Brigs.\n\n3 Large Steamers.\n\n2 Small ditto\n\n7. I am of opinion that all provisions and stores of every description beyond what may be required for a force of 1,500 men should be dispensed with; and it will then remain for the proper authorities in England to decide whether the army commissariat is not capable of performing a part of this duty.\n\nOn the duties incidental to the army commissariat I shall hereafter remark.\n\n8. The naval storehouses are in a most dilapidated state, and should be taken down. The Admiral states that he has recommended to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty the occupation of what are termed the \"Godowns,\" (forfeited to the Crown), as well adapted for naval purposes. This proposition I fully concur; but I understand that the Royal Engineers have estimated that it will cost 5000l. to put them in repair, their original cost being somewhat less than 3000l.\n\n14. The establishment of the Naval Storekeeper and Agent Victualler stands thus:-\n\n \n STOREKEEPER'S DEPARTMENT.\n \n £\n s.\n d.\n \n \n Naval Storekeeper and Agent Victualler\n \n 600\n 0\n 0\n \n \n 1 Clerk\n \n 250\n 0\n 0\n \n \n 1 Clerk\n \n 175\n 0\n 0\n \n \n 1 Storeman\n \n 94\n 0\n 10\n \n \n Victualling Money, £27 7 6\n \n \n \n \n \n \n 4 Boatmen, 5 Labourers\n \n 137\n 10\n 0\n \n \n 834 Additional extra Labourers for Service of Establishment\n \n 28\n 19\n 2\n \n \n House Rent for Naval Storekeeper and Agent Victualler\n \n 100\n 0\n 0\n \n \n Stationery\n \n 15\n 0\n 0\n \n \n Master commanding Store-Ship \"Minden,\" and as Queen's Harbour Master\n \n 100\n 0\n 0\n \n \n \n \n 1,500\n 10\n 0\n \n \n AGENT VICTUALLER'S DEPARTMENT.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Agent Victualler, paid as Naval Storekeeper.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n 1 Clerk\n \n 200\n 0\n 0\n \n \n 1 Clerk\n \n 175\n 0\n 0\n \n \n 1 Storeman\n \n 94\n 0\n 10\n \n \n £ 9 2 6\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Victualling Money\n \n £27\n 7\n 6\n \n \n 1 Cooper @ 6d. per day, borne on \"Minden's\" books as Cooper's Crew\n \n \n \n \n \n \n 1 Cooper @ 1s. 9d. per day, as Cooper's Crew Victualling Money -\n \n £31\n 18\n 9\n \n \n \n \n £27\n 7\n 6\n \n \n 5 Victualling Labourers\n \n 36\n 10\n 0\n \n \n \n \n 75\n 0\n 0\n \n \n 474 Additional extra Labourers\n \n 16\n 9\n 2\n \n \n Allowance Stationery\n \n 15\n 0\n 0\n \n \n Police Force\n \n 100\n 0\n 0\n \n \n \n \n £2,365\n 17\n 1\n \n \n Total\n \n \n \n \n \n\n9. There however a capital house and godown, built at a cost of about 42,000 dollars, and for which the Government once offered 40,000 dollars, now for sale: it might possibly be had for 20 to 25,000 dollars, and had I any voice in this question, I should strongly advocate its being purchased, in preference to repairing the Albany Godowns.\n\n10. In considering the quantity of naval provisions consumed in China, it should not be forgotten that fresh provisions are usually served out to the seamen. The annual expenditure of salt provisions on this account can be easily ascertained in England, and if it be comparatively small, a very limited space would I imagine be necessary for the storing of the other articles of provision, most, if not all of which, save spirits, are procurable on the spot. I would here, for easy reference, remark, that the European troops during six months of the year get fresh beef and bread daily, and that during the other six months, they are supplied with salt beef and pork ONCE in each week. Taking the regimental force therefore at 600 men, the expenditure of salt provisions may be estimated at from 70 to 80 tierces per annum.\n\n11. His Excellency in his letter to my address speaks of 2,150 men being victualled at Hong Kong on the 6th of April. This, I need scarcely say, was accidental, the force having been collected with reference to the possibility of its being required to enforce our treaty right of entrance into the city of Canton. This will not occur again, and the force at Hong Kong is not likely to exceed one frigate and one steamer.\n\n12. I wish with the Admiral that one half of the splendid range of stores erected for the Ordnance could be devoted to the navy, and I imagine that if we only had the proper quantity of stores for a force of 1,200 men military, they might be so occupied.\n\n13. Before concluding my remarks on the naval department, I would observe that Sir Francis Collier appears to consider Hong Kong as the headquarters of Her Majesty's ships; and should this be the case, then a corresponding reduction can be made at Trincomalee. It matters little where any necessary expense is incurred, but the same expense for establishment cannot be requisite at Trincomalee and at Hong Kong also: at one place or the other therefore reduction should take place. To myself it is indifferent where the reduction does take effect, as I can have no possible object in view but the good of the public service; and having so recently entered the service of the Crown, I am of necessity free from all professional jealousies, as also from all prejudices in favour of one branch of the service over the other.\n\nEnclosure No. 3.\n\npage 12.\n\n15. With reference to the military department, I beg to annex a letter which I addressed to Major-General Staveley, as well as his reply thereto, inclosing Enclosure No. 4, a report from the respective officers of ordnance, with several documents which Enclosure No. 5, will be noticed below, and amongst these a return of troops serving in the China command.\n\nEnclosure No. 6,\n\npage 15.\n\nment.\n\n16. Enclosure No. 7, will explain the extent and nature of the Ordnance stores, and that it far exceeds the wants of the force in China is obvious. It is impossible for me to specify each article of which there is a superfluity; but I will remark on a few that appear amongst the most prominent. By reference to the returns it will be seen that we have no less than 163 pieces of ordnance, of which 54 are 32-pounders, and 20 are 18-pounders; and that there are about 41,000 pounds of powder, and not less than 1,831,529 balled musket cartridges, and 62,000 blank musket cartridges; 35,873 fuzees, 28,400 loose round shot, besides strapped and fixed, ready for service.\n\n17. Enclosure No. 8, will show that during the past year only 206,283 ball and blank cartridges, and 23,159 pounds of gunpowder have been issued, which is a tolerable proof that of this article we have quite enough already; and yet within these past few days 523 additional quarter barrels containing 261,500 musket ball cartridges have arrived by the \"Palmyra.' I propose therefore that the question should be submitted to the proper authorities, and no further ordnance stores than what are required for a force, say of 2000 men, which would include the demands of the navy, should be retained; and that the remainder of what might be good and useful should be sent to Ceylon, or to England, where they may be of use to the service, instead of, as must be the case, becoming unserviceable and useless here; and what might prove in the latter state should be disposed of by auction on the spot or destroyed.\n\n18. By thus relieving the ordnance storekeeper of the charge of a quantity of unnecessary and useless stores, he would, in my judgment have sufficient time to take on him some part of the duties at present performed by the naval storekeeper, leaving the supplying of provisions, &c., to the army commissariat department.\n\n19. From the statement of Mr. St. Hill, the Ordnance Storekeeper, an Enclosure No. 10, officer of long standing and great respectability, it certainly does appear that he page 36.\n\nB 2", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-029 - Bonham - 1849 [4-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 228821, "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": "CO129-029 - Bonham - 1849 [4-7]", "page_number": 137, "title": "CO129-029 - Bonham - 1849 [4-7]", "content_text": "Sir,\n\n8\n\nEnclosure 1.\n\nGovernor Bonham to Rear-Admiral Collier.\n\nVictoria, Hong Kong, April 5, 1849.\n\nI HAVE the honour to bring to the notice of your Excellency that in obedience to instructions from the Right Honourable the Earl Grey, Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Colonies, it becomes my duty to institute a strict search into the expenditure of this colony, civil, naval, and military; and I hope for the cordial assistance of your Excellency in affording me information connected with the expenditure of the naval department here.\n\nIn the first instance it is desirable that I should be furnished with an account of the total annual expenditure entailed upon the Government for the establishment of the naval victualler and storekeeper's department, the nature and value of the stores under his charge, together with the condition and outlay of the present naval stores, buildings, and a detail of any future expenditure which may be in contemplation, either for stores, or public works, or repairs.\n\nI should also feel obliged for any suggestions that your Excellency may be pleased to offer relative to the present site occupied by the naval store rooms, or of any other which to your Excellency may appear better suited for that purpose; and lastly, with a view to making every possible reduction compatible with the interests of the Crown and the objects for which the various departments have been established, I would beg to be further favoured with your opinion upon the following points :-\n\n1st. Does your Excellency consider that the \"Minden\" is equal to containing the variety of ship gear and dry stores likely to be required for repairing, refitting, and supplying the squadron ordinarily in these seas, without any buildings being wanted for similar stores on shore?\n\n2ndly. Supposing that the naval victualling department at West Point was abolished, could its duties be transferred to the army commissariat on shore?\n\n3rdly. If the department of naval storekeeper could also be dispensed with, and the ordnance storekeeper directed to furnish Her Majesty's ships with such stores and munitions of war as had been hitherto supplied by the naval storekeeper, would the wants of the navy be as efficiently supplied, and the service equally well conducted?\n\nIn conclusion, I would beg to observe that it is of the utmost importance to enable me to report on this subject, that I should have the benefit and advantage of your Excellency's advice and opinion upon matters so purely naval.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nSir,\n\n(Signed) S. G. BONHAM.\n\nEnclosure 2.\n\nRear-Admiral Collier to Governor Bonham.\n\n\"Hastings,\" at Hong Kong, April 9, 1849.\n\nI HAVE had the honour to receive your Excellency's letter of the 5th instant, communicating the instructions you have received from Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Colonies, to institute a strict search into the expenditure of the colony of Hong-Kong, civil, naval, and military; and requesting my assistance therein, which I am happy to afford you, so far as my humble abilities will permit.\n\nI will reply to the questions of your Excellency in the order in which they have been put.\n\nI have called for a return of the total annual expense of the establishment of the naval storekeeper and agent victualler, which is herewith transmitted for your Excellency's information. I must however be permitted to remark that the expense of this establishment, which is already at as low an ebb as possible, refers not merely to the colony of Hong Kong, but is incurred for the general requirements of Her Majesty's ships and vessels employed on the East India and China station; and as so large a proportion of the squadron has of late been employed on the coast of China, your Excellency will readily understand that no reduction of the naval civil establishment here can be ventured upon with safety, while so many of Her Majesty's vessels are retained in these parts. Your Excellency can judge whether or not the presence of the squadron is required in China; but so long as it is stationed in these seas there must be adequate means for providing the ships with stores and provisions.\n\nWith regard to the nature and value of the stores in charge of the naval storekeeper and agent victualler, I think the first point only need be stated. The stores are what are ordinarily understood by naval stores, and are too numerous to define. There should be every article necessary for the fitting, rigging, refitting, repairing, and victualling of the squadron. The value of these naval and victualling stores is undoubtedly large, but varies so much from day to day as the wants of the squadron may be supplied, and according to the quantities that are sent from England, that any calculation of their value would be giving useless trouble to estimate, and would only mislead your Excellency.\n\nI am not the first person to point out, nor is this the first occasion on which I have pointed out that the condition of the buildings at present designated the naval storehouses, is most dilapidated, and that they are altogether and evidently unfit for the purposes to which they have been applied. I have already declined to sanction any further outlay upon them, beyond what may be absolutely required to protect the stores and provisions from the weather; and the experience which every day brings me only tends to strengthen the opinions I have previously expressed. I do not therefore contemplate any further expenditure for works or repairs upon the present naval storehouses.\n\nThe site of the buildings at West Point is extremely inconvenient and objectionable, and I have recommended to the Admiralty a range of storehouses, now vacant, called the Albany Godowns, as being well adapted for naval purposes; but I will presently bring under the notice of your Excellency a pile of buildings which will be still more appropriate for the purpose.\n\nYour Excellency inquires whether I consider \"that the Minden is equal to containing the variety of ship gear and dry stores likely to be required for repairing, refitting, and supplying the squadron ordinarily in these seas, without any buildings being wanted for similar stores on shore.\"\n\nTo which I answer that the Minden certainly is not equal to containing the whole of the naval stores likely to be required; there are some articles such as spars, anchors, chain cables, iron, coals, boats, &c., which from the want of space and other causes, can only be properly stowed and kept in order on shore; while it is absolutely necessary for the preservation in this country of many kinds of naval stores, that they should be kept afloat.\n\nThe next question is, \"supposing that the naval victualling department at West Point was abolished, could its duties be transferred to the army commissariat on shore?\"\n\nI think not. On the 6th instant, 2,150 men were victualled on board Her Majesty's ships in China; and if the present establishment of the commissariat be no more than sufficient to supply the wants of the army, it follows that the number of officers and men must be very much increased if the same branch of the service were also called upon to supply the navy; and in my opinion the increased expense would be better applied in maintaining, as heretofore, altogether a distinct victualling establishment for the navy,-the system of accounts, and the scale of victualling and general duties being so different.\n\nTo the next question-\" If the department of naval storekeeper could also be dispensed with, and the ordnance storekeeper directed to furnish Her Majesty's ships with such stores and munitions of war as had been hitherto been supplied by the naval storekeeper, would the wants of the navy be as sufficiently supplied, and the service equally well conducted?\"\n\nI must again answer no! but it is a question well worthy of consideration, whether an efficient naval storekeeper would not be quite capable of supplying the wants of the ordnance. Certainly I think much more so than the ordnance storekeeper possibly could be of supplying the navy. I need only beg of your Excellency to compare the number of the ships of war with the number of artillery quartered at Hong Kong, which from the impossibility of fortifying the place, never can be a large garrison,\n\nThis brings me to the subject of the splendid range of buildings which have been erected for ordnance storehouses, and which seem to me to be infinitely ...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-029 - Bonham - 1849 [4-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 228822, "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": "CO129-029 - Bonham - 1849 [4-7]", "page_number": 138, "title": "CO129-029 - Bonham - 1849 [4-7]", "content_text": "10\n\nmore capacious than ever can be required for so small a garrison as is likely to be maintained at Hong Kong; while they would be in every respect suitable for the naval department; and the occupation of them for naval purposes would save a large expense which otherwise must be incurred very soon, as the present temporary sheds at West Point cannot be looked upon as likely to last for any length of time. The ordnance storehouses are spacious and well constructed; and, with the wharf, would afford ample accommodation for the stowage of all the naval stores and provisions which it may be necessary to keep on shore at Hong Kong. The ordnance wharf, with some slight improvement, would be well adapted to receive the cumbrous articles, such as coals, anchors, boats, &c.\n\nThe Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty having furnished me with a copy of Earl Grey's instructions to your Excellency, and your letter having also informed me that the investigation with which you have been intrusted extends to civil as well as naval and military matters, I am sure it must be a matter of sincere congratulation to your Excellency and the public, that the opportunity has been thus afforded you of pointing out to Her Majesty's Government the numerous civil situations held by various Government officers at Hong Kong, of which the salaries are very high; while on the other hand the duties are extremely light, and in some instances I should imagine nearly nominal. The long experience your Excellency had in conducting for so many years the admirable system of Government pursued at Singapore, where an adequate establishment for a much larger settlement is maintained for at least one-sixth of the expense of this colony, well enable your Excellency to judge how many civil appointments there are existing here that can, and no doubt will, be dispensed with with great advantage to the public service, and at a vast saving of the public expenditure.\n\nI shall have the honour of transmitting a copy of this letter to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed) F.

Upon a careful examination into the whole matter, the case appears to me to stand thus:\n\nA Lot of ground was granted to Captain Meik (then of the 49th Regiment), Acting Land officer, some time in June 1842, but of which there is no record to be found either in the Land Office or in that of the Colonial Secretary.\n\nSir Henry Pottinger issued Public Notices on the 2nd and 27th May of the same year, copies of which are attached. These Notices distinctly directed that no Sales or transfers of Land would be valid, unless registered in the Land Office. The duties of Sir Henry Pottinger rendered it necessary for him to proceed to the North in June 1842, leaving Mr. Caine (not Mr. J. D. Campbell, but likely a reference to Mr. J. Caine or another person like Mr. Jshurston as per the original text, however, the original text refers to \"Mr Jshurston\") in charge of Government who had been prohibited from granting any more Lots of ground, except for Military or Naval purposes,—vide Extract Sir Henry Pottinger's Despatch to Mr Jshurston, dated 8th June 1842, herewith attached.\n\n4. The state of Captain Meik's health was such that he was compelled to resign his appointment, and leave the Colony, and his agent sold the ground in question to Mr. Webster in the end of September 1842 for 960 Dollars, which appears to have included an expenditure of about 700 Dollars by Captain Meik for levelling and improving the ground and commencing building thereon. The sale and transfer of the ground were formally made through the Land Office, as is shown in the correspondence, and this was clearly in strict conformity to the Public Notices of the 2nd and 27th May, already quoted.\n\n5. It would appear that Captain Meik obtained the ground on the proviso that he should build a Bazar for the use of the Military within a certain time, but no agreement to this effect is to be discovered in any of the Colonial Office, though the Letter from Mr. Reynolds, Land and Road Surveyor, of the 30th September, 1842...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-029 - Bonham - 1849 [4-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 228923, "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": "CO129-029 - Bonham - 1849 [4-7]", "page_number": 239, "title": "CO129-029 - Bonham - 1849 [4-7]", "content_text": "224\n\ngiven to the prevalence of piratical attacks, accompanied by many instances of loss of life, and loss of property.

There should be every Article necessary for the fitting, rigging, refitting, repairing, and victualling of the Squadron. The value of these Naval Victualling stores is undoubtedly large, but varies so much from day to day, as the wants of the Squadron may be supplied, and according to the quantities that are sent from England, that any calculation of their value would be giving useless trouble to estimate and would only mislead Your Excellency.\n\nI am not the first person to point out, nor is this the first occasion on which I have pointed out that the Condition of the Godowns at present designated the Naval Storehouses is most dilapidated, and that they are altogether and decidedly unfit for the purposes to which they have been applied. I have already declined to sanction any further outlay upon them, beyond what may be absolutely required to protect the stored Provisions from the weather, and the Experience which every day brings me only tends to strengthen the opinions previously expressed. I do not therefore contemplate further Expenditure for works or repairs upon the present Naval Storehouses.\n\nThe site of the buildings at West Point is extremely inconvenient and objectionable, and I have recommended to the Admiralty a range of Storehouses now vacant called the Albany Godowns, as being well adapted for naval purposes, but I will presently bring under the notice of Your Excellency a Pile of buildings which will be still more appropriate for the purpose.\n\nYour Excellency enquires whether I consider \"that the 'Minden' is equal to containing the variety of Ship Gear and dry stores likely to be required for repair, refitting, and supplying the Squadron ordinarily in these Seas.\"", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-031 - Public Offices - 1849.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 229516, "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": "CO129-031 - Public Offices - 1849", "page_number": 16, "title": "CO129-031 - Public Offices - 1849", "content_text": "Admiral\n\nCopy Department of the\n\nNaval Storekeeper\n\n4-6591 15\n\nHow Row Mand\n\n7 April 1949-\n\nA Statement of the Establishment of this\n\nDepartment as required by Commal Suz\n\nA.

E. Sir Henry Pottinger was pleased on account of good service to raise the salary to £300 a year, and the undersigned was confirmed Assistant Harbour Master, in that situation he had to perform nearly the whole duty of Harbour Master Lieutenant W. Pedder R. N., being fully engaged with the duties of marine magistrate.\n\nThe undersigned was acting Harbour Master during the year 1845, when Lieutenant W. Pedder went to Europe on sick certificate, and on the return of the latter continued in the department as before, with the additional duty of gun-boat service without any allowance, although the duties were both arduous and full of danger.\n\nThe only extras besides his pay, which the undersigned has received during his period of service in China, were £100 from Lieut: Pedder's half pay whilst acting as Harbour Master, and £8 prize money, with the China war medal, for services in the Louisa.\n\nOn the 30th January 1847, one year's leave of absence to Europe was granted to the undersigned, his health having been much impaired by so many years of constant exposure by day and night in open boats in the performance of his duties. He returned to this post at the expiration of his leave, sufficiently improved in health, & resumed his duties, which he continued & discharged until the 1st of May, 1849, when at the request of H. E. Governor Bonham, he proceeded to Whampoa to officiate as British Consular Agent at that port, during Mr. A. Bird's absence. This being at the most unhealthy season of the year, he was obliged to live in a miserable native boat on the river, surrounded on all sides by swamps.

Meanwhile, the voluntary emigration is considerable, and the Coolies still seem disposed to press in great numbers towards California & Australia.\n\nThey are deplorably ignorant of the deceits, abetted by the cupidity, alike of Chinese scoundrels and sea captains, and the interests of humanity, to say nothing of the reputation of a British Colony, require that more control should be exercised over abuses.\n\nAn example has just occurred - a Peruvian vessel (the Libertad) had engaged nearly a hundred Coolies, more than she was able properly to take under the passengers act, and her seaworthiness was very doubtful; the state of the Coolies on board was most unsatisfactory.\n\nPrivate\n\nJP? imp. 30 June\n\n5324 Hong Kong Emigration\n\nRECEIVED JUNE 22 1854\n\nMy dear Duke,\n\n[Mr White the Emigration Agent]\n\nX21.1854\n\nThroughout April, Hong Kong afforded...\n\n340\n\nThe Duke of Newcastle", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-045 - Sir Bonham - 1854 [1-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 234573, "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": "CO129-045 - Sir Bonham - 1854 [1-4]", "page_number": 346, "title": "CO129-045 - Sir Bonham - 1854 [1-4]", "content_text": "We have prevented her departure in order that some steps may be taken for protection of human life.\n\nThough Sir Geo. Borbam has applied certain portions of the Colonial regulations to this Colony by his Proclamation of 31 December, there is really no machinery here for giving effect to the regulations adopted. I want more efficient control. I think Mor Hillier, the Chief Magistrate, might very properly and usefully be appointed, at an additional salary of £200, to undertake the duties of King's Agent. His knowledge of the Chinese language and his habits of intercourse with the Chinese people make his nomination particularly desirable. I am afraid the remuneration by any system of fees would, from the almost universal venality of subordinates, lead to uncontrollable abuses, and that the object in view could hardly be accomplished without some slight expense to the Colony.\n\nI cannot allow that there is no force in the objection that if our Colonial regulations are not stringent and efficient, the emigration traffic will be transferred to other localities. It appears to me that when Coolies learn from experience that their interests and comforts are cared for, and that securities are provided for their protection in this Colony, which they cannot find elsewhere, emigrating Coolies would prefer starting for Hong Kong, and thus the interests of the Colony would be promoted.\n\nMeans might be found for circulating in the districts which furnish the supplies of emigrants some information as to the arrangements made in Hong Kong in favor of those who embark for the Colony.\n\nFor the subject of the Colonial surgeon, I will again address Your Grace. We can hardly come to any definite conclusions before the departure of the Mail.\n\nI owe many apologies for these somewhat hasty letters, but the claims of the Diplomatic department are so pressing and multitudinous that I can but rejoice that the direction of local affairs will be left to the care of the Lieutenant Governor, who is well acquainted with every detail.\n\nI see no reason whatever to anticipate that the duties mutually imposed upon us will lead to any misunderstanding or listing to the public service.\n\nI hope soon to be able to quit the Colony and proceed Northwards, when my presence will be more wanted than here, but until I have the means of conferring with the Admiral as to the disposition of the forces, I cannot determine my course.

With reference to flag officers, it is to be noted that when an inferior flag officer is sent to reinforce a superior officer on any station, the superior flag officer shall not share in any prize taken by the inferior flag officer before he has arrived within the limits of that station, unless the inferior officer shall have received some order directly from, and shall be acting in execution of some order issued by, such superior flag officer.\n\nNo chief flag officer quitting any station, except upon some definite urgent service, and with the intention of returning to the station as soon as such service is performed, shall share in any prize taken by Our ships or vessels left behind, after he has passed the limits of the station, or after he has surrendered the command to another flag officer appointed by the Admiralty to command in chief upon such station.\n\nAn inferior flag officer quitting any station (except when detached by orders from his commander-in-chief upon a special service, accompanied with orders to return to such station as soon as the service has been performed,) shall have no share in prizes taken by the ships and vessels remaining on the station, after he has passed the limits thereof. In like manner, flag officers remaining on such station shall not share in the prizes taken by such inferior officer, or by ships or vessels under his immediate command, after he has quitted the limits of the station, except he has been detached as aforesaid.\n\nA commander-in-chief or other flag officer belonging to any station shall not share in any prize taken out of the limits of that station by any ship or vessel under the command of a flag officer of any other station, or under orders from Our Commissioners of the Admiralty, unless such commander-in-chief or flag officer is expressly authorised by Our said Commissioners to take the command of that station in which the prize or prizes is or are taken, and shall actually have taken upon him such command.\n\nEvery commodore having a captain under him shall be esteemed a flag officer with respect to the twentieth part of prizes taken, whether he be commanding-in-chief or serving under command.\n\nThe first captain to the admiral and commander-in-chief of Our fleet, and also the first captain to any flag officer appointed to command a fleet of ten ships of the line or upwards, shall be deemed to be a flag officer for the purpose of sharing in prize, and shall be entitled to share therein as the junior flag officer of such fleet.\n\nAny officer on board any of Our ships of war at the time of capturing any prize or prizes, who shall have more commissions than one, shall be entitled only to share in such prize or prizes according to the share allotted to him by the above-mentioned distribution in respect to his superior commission or office.\n\nAnd with reference to other officers it is to be noted that a captain, commander, or other commanding officer of a ship or vessel, shall be deemed to be under the command of a flag, when he shall have received some order from, or be acting in the execution of some order issued by, a flag officer, whether he be, or be not within the limits of the station of such flag officer; and in the event of his being directed to join a flag officer on any station he shall be deemed to be under the command of such flag officer from the time when he arrives within the limits of the station, which circumstance is always to be carefully noted in the log book; and it shall be considered that he continues under the flag officer of such station, until he shall have received some order directly from or be acting in the execution of some order issued by some other flag officer, duly authorized, or by the Lord High Admiral, or Our Commissioners for executing the office of Lord High Admiral.\n\nAnd We hereby direct, that the captain, commander, lieutenant commanding, master commanding, or any other officer, duly commanding any ship, sloop or vessel of war, singly taken any prize from the enemy, that is to say, the officer actually in command at the time, shall have one eighth of remainder, or if there is no flag, one-eighth of the entire net proceeds, except that if the single capturing ship be a rated ship, having a commander under the captain, the commander shall take portion of the one-eighth part, as if he were commander of a sloop, according to the proportion hereinafter set forth; and if more than one commanding officer of the same rank of command shall be entitled to share as joint captors, the one-eighth shall be equally divided between them; but when captains, commanders, lieutenants commanding, and masters commanding respectively Our ships and vessels of war, and commanders under captains in rated ships shall share together in whatever variety of combination, the one-eighth shall be so divided into parts for a graduated apportionment as to provide for each captain receiving six parts; each commander of a sloop, or commander under a captain in a rated ship, three parts; and each lieutenant commanding, or master commanding, or other officer actually commanding a small vessel of war, two parts; which We hereby direct shall be the proportion in which they shall respectively share; commodores of the second class and field officers of marines, or of land forces serving as marines, doing duty as field officers, above the rank of major, to share as captains; and field officers of marines, or of land forces serving as marines, and doing duty in the rank of major, to share as commanders of sloops.\n\nAnd we further direct, that after provision shall thus have been made for the flag share (if any) and for the portion of the commanding officer or officers, and others, as above specified, the remainder of the net proceeds shall be distributed in ten classes, so that each officer, man, and boy, composing the rest of the complements of Our ships, sloops, and vessels of war, and actually on board at the time of any such capture, and every person present and assisting, shall receive shares or a share according to his class, as set forth in the following scale:\n\nFirst Class.

However, even so, if my property has sold well, I cannot be more than £200 in debt - if it has sold only tolerably, I may be indebted to the extent of £300 or £350, but if badly, I may possibly owe £400 or £450.\n\nAnd of this amount, I cannot recall to mind that a single debt has been contracted either from improper indulgence or unnecessary extravagance. When I found that my debts were greater than I had anticipated, in order to prevent the anxieties of my creditors (if such feelings existed), I voluntarily proposed to Mr Lamb, a most respectable solicitor in Andover, professional and parliamentary agent for Mr Cubitt, the member for that town, that I should transfer to him my furniture, books, plate, and the like, to dispose of for their benefit.\n\nI requested him, in the event of the debts exceeding the assets, to draw up a legal document binding me to pay all just demands against me with 5 percent interest until all were finally and fully settled. This he did, and the state of the matter at present is that it is within the range of possibility that I may now be free from all debt - if not in one year, more certainly in two years, but most certainly in three years.\n\nI did leave my parish, but it was late in the evening on Sunday.\n\nPage 367", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-048 - Public Offices - 1854.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 235728, "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": "CO129-048 - Public Offices - 1854", "page_number": 407, "title": "CO129-048 - Public Offices - 1854", "content_text": "AGENDA\n\nLaid before\n\n#\n\nAdmiralty\n\n401 3\n\nMay 31 Capt.

Where a Ship being registered in a Colony, a Bill of Sale or a Power of Attorney to execute a Bill of Sale, have been sent by the Registered Owner to the United Kingdom,\n\n2. Where a Ship being registered in a Colony, the Registered Owner is in the United Kingdom, and wishes to sell her here,\n\nIn both these cases, the Registrars of Shipping would, before\n\nMy Lords wish to suggest to the Commissioners, the expediency of adopting the following relaxations, to take effect at once, and to last during such time only as may be necessary to bring the New System into complete operation,\n\n1. Ships registered in the Colonies may, for such time as the 1st of May, have registered the Ship de novo, without waiting hereinafter mentioned, be registered de novo in this Country, upon the production of such Documents or Evidence of Title the Registrars have heretofore been in the habit of receiving as sufficient.\n\n2. In all such cases the Vendor or his Agent shall give to the Registrar security that the transaction shall be completed, and that the Registrar and the Commissioners shall be kept harmless from any loss or damage which they might incur if it were to happen that the Ship was in the meantime disposed of in the Colony. A suggested Form of Bond for this purpose is enclosed.\n\n3. The Vendor or his Agent must fill up and sign and deliver to the Registrar at the Port of Registry de novo, a form of application calling for a transfer of the registry under the provisions of the Act,\n\nThis application, the Registrar at the Port of registry de novo, will forward with the old certificate of registry to the Colony.\n\nIf it is wished to sell or mortgage the Ship in any part of the Empire other than that in which the Ship is registered, Statutory Powers of Attorney for the purpose (called in the Act \"Certificates of Sale or Mortgage\") can be procured at the Port of Registry.\n\nThese Certificates will confer a perfect title on those who take under them, whilst, as they will be entered on the Register Book at the Port of Registry, persons who might desire to purchase or lend Money on the Ship there, will have full notice of their existence.\n\n4. On registering the Ship de novo, the Registrar will insert in his Book the words \"Registry to be transferred from the Port of \", and, on receiving the requisite information from the Colonial Registrar, he will write under those words \"Registry completed by transfer from the Port of with the date.\n\nMy Lords consider it of very great importance for the interests of Shipping that these Certificates should be brought into use as quickly and as universally as possible, and that nothing should be done which would have the effect of permanently infringing the principles of the new system, or of inducing persons concerned in Shipping to believe that it will henceforward be possible to confer a Title to a Ship by any means except those which the Act, and the Regulations which have been issued under it, point out as necessary.\n\n5. The relaxation is to take effect at once, and to last, as to Ships Registered in the American Colonies, until the end of September, and as to Ships registered in more distant Colonies, until the end of February next.\n\nThe effect of the relaxation will be to place the persons who accept the title in this Country in as good a position, so far as regards the registry, as they could have enjoyed under the former practice, whilst they will have the additional advantage (which they could not have had under former Acts) that their equitable title to the Ship, will, under the provisions of the New Act, be perfectly good,\n\nI am, &c.,\n\nmany Ships have lately been sent, and are now being sent from the Colonies, for the purpose of being sold in this Country, according to the practice which has heretofore prevailed, and that considerable inconvenience...\n\nIn re JAMES LINDON, deceased.

The observation just made with respect to the cases cited equally applies to this Order in Council. Do Messrs Pustau & Co. stand in the light of strict neutrals? I think it will be found that the case of the Atalanta, also reported in 6 Cr. Rob. 440, has a stronger application to the present circumstances, and which will presently be more fully noticed; but before doing so, and before enquiring into the course pursued by Messrs Pustau & Co., it may be proper to advert to some of the general principles which govern the administration of Prize Law. One of these general principles is, that if a native of one country resides and carries on trade in another for some time, his national character is that of his domicile, not of his birth—the Johanna Emilia, Spinks, Ecl. and Ad. Rep. 317-320. again in the same volume of reports in the case of the Abo, 347-349, it is said, \"the rule of law is, that in time of war, the person takes \"the national character of his residence.\" The same general principle will be found laid down in Pratt's \"Story,\" 59, where various authorities of a somewhat earlier date are cited. Again, in the same work, p. 69, it is said to be a fundamental principle of Prize Law, that \"all trade with the Enemy is prohibited to all persons, whether natives, naturalized citizens, or foreigners, domiciled in the country, during the time of their residence, under the penalty of confiscation\"; and also, that \"as a general principle, no citizen or subject can \"be admitted to claim in a Prize Court where the transaction in which he is engaged is in violation of the municipal Law of his country\"—ibid. 20, 21; although this rule is not to be applied to foreign neutral proprietors, ib. 52. Messrs Pustau & Co. have been domiciled and resident in the British Colony of Hongkong, carrying on trade as merchants, for upwards of eleven years. Let us now see whether their conduct has been that of innocent neutrals.\n\nMy own notion of neutrality is, that a party, to entitle himself to the privilege of a neutral so as to claim restitution of his cargo, should be totally free from all concert, connivance, or participation in, that transaction the illegality of which leads to the condemnation of the ship. How far do Messrs Pustau & Co. bring themselves within this principle? It appears that on the 9th July, they, through their Supercargo and through the Master of the Greta, entered into a Charterparty for the conveyance of Russian enemies to a Russian port to enable them to find their way home. It is this very Charterparty, to which Messrs Pustau & Co. are so instrumental, which converts the Greta from a state of neutrality into a state of hostility, after which they still continue their cargo on board. How then can it be said that their conduct has been that of innocent neutrals? It appears rather that they bring themselves within those general principles of law which have already been adverted to, and they have no right to come into this Court and claim restitution of their cargo.\n\nAnd now let me call attention to the case already alluded to—the Atalanta. In that case, certain Despatches from the Governor of the Isle of France to the Minister of Marine at Paris were, during the time of war, taken on board the Bremen ship Atalanta, a neutral vessel, by the Master and one Supercargo, and afterwards found, on her capture, concealed in the possession of a second Supercargo. It is true that in that case the owners of the ship and cargo were the same, but Lord Stowell, then Sir William Scott, in his judgment expressly disclaims condemning the cargo upon this ground alone. Having already condemned the ship, he goes on to say, “Then comes \"the other question, whether the penalty is not also to be extended farther to the cargo, being the property of the same proprietors—\"not merely ob continentium delicti, but likewise, because the representatives of the owners of the cargo are directly involved in the knowledge and conduct of this guilty transaction ? On the circumstances of the present case I have to observe, that the offence is as much the \"act of those who are the constituted agents of the cargo, as of the Master who is the agent of the ship. The general rule of law is, that where a party has been guilty of an interposition in the war, and is taken in delicto, he is not entitled to the aid of the Court to obtain \"the restitution of any part of his property involved in the same transaction. It is then said that the term interposition in the war is a very general term, and not to be loosely applied. I am of opinion that this is an aggravated case of active interposition in the \"service of the enemy, concerted and continued in fraud, and marked with every species of malignant conduct. In such a case I feel \"myself bound, not only by the general rule 'ob continentiam delicti', but by the direct participation of guilt in the Agents of the cargo. Both ship and cargo were accordingly condemned. These observations, for the most part, appear to me directly applicable to the present case.\n\nI have been requested by Mr Green, on behalf of Messrs Pustau & Co., that, even should I feel myself constrained to condemn both the ship and cargo, still that I will express it as my opinion, that the Greta left this port without any idea on the part of Messrs. Pustau & Co. of aiding the Enemies of Great Britain. I am perfectly willing so to do, being satisfied that, notwithstanding any irregularity in the Greta's papers or colors, up to the time of her arrival at Hakodadi, they acted with the best intentions and in perfect good faith—but I regret that, from the time of her arrival there, every step which was taken meets with my entire disapprobation; and I cannot help feeling that Her Majesty's Government had a right to expect a different line of conduct from gentlemen, who tell you upon their oaths, that for upwards of eleven years they have received the protection of the British Flag and enjoyed the blessings of the British Constitution.\n\nI must therefore pronounce both Ship and Cargo subject to condemnation\n\nTrue Copy,\n\nW.

At Malta, more especially, the duties connected with the overland Indian Mails, and those arising from Malta being the centre of the operations of the French Mail Packets in the Mediterranean, render it absolutely necessary that the Post Office should be under the control of Her Majesty's Postmaster General.\n\nSIR,\n\nDOWNING STREET,\n\n27th August, 1855.\n\nIn reply to your letter of 31 ultimo, I am directed by Secretary Sir W. Molesworth to acquaint you, for the information of the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury, that he has no objection to the proposal of the Postmaster General that the control of the Post Offices in the West Indies should be surrendered to the Colonial Governments.\n\nSir W. Molesworth desires me, however, to point out to their Lordships, that under the provisions of the 12th and 13th Vic. cap. 66, it will be within the legal discretion of the respective Legislatures to alter the rates of postage for the delivery of letters, not only at inland stations in each Colony, but also at the port of arrival.\n\nThe charges to be levied for the delivery of letters at inland stations in a Colony may most properly be decided by the Local Legislature; but it would appear to Sir W. Molesworth very desirable, and especially for the interests of the commercial classes, whose establishments are usually situated at the ports of arrival of the Mail Steamers, that no change should be made in the present charge of sixpence for each single rate of postage on letters arriving from England. But as it is uncertain whether the Colonial Governments will be satisfied with the charge of one penny, which, according to the proposed arrangements, would be surrendered to them upon each single rate of postage, it will be for the consideration of their Lordships whether the possible inconvenience which would arise from such a variation in the rates of postage to different Colonies affords a sufficient reason for postponing the consideration of the proposed measure, or for previous communication with the officers administering the government, in order that the views of the respective Legislatures should be ascertained before a final decision is taken.\n\nGeneral Post Office,\n\n14th July, 1855.\n\nI have, &c.,\n\n(Signed)\n\nCANNING.\n\nSir C. E. Trevelyan,\n\n&c. &c. &c.\n\nI am, &c.,\n\n(Signed)\n\nT. F.

Australia, Java, and the Sandwich Islands, as well as the British West Indies, have been destinations for such emigration.\n\nThe last of these emigrations has been principally conducted under the superintendence of an agent appointed by the British government and acting under instructions from the Board.\n\n“As to this Emigration vide Colonial Land and Emigration Commissioner's annual Report, of 1853 pp. 54 and 163; 1852 pp. 57-205; of 1854 pp. 67-258-256 and Par.

The mortality on some of the ships has been considerable, but there is no reason to apprehend that the emigrants were ill-treated. In the West Indies, they appear to be happy and their labour is acknowledged to be great and productive.\n\nThe only, but almost overwhelming, objection to their domestication is the great evil connected with the absence of female emigrants, which is enhanced by the known habits of the people.

Provided always, that no such Ordinance shall come into operation until Her Majesty's Confirmation of the same shall have been proclaimed in Hong Kong by the Governor thereof.\n\nIII. It shall be lawful for the Governor of Hong Kong to declare, by Proclamation, for the Purposes of this Act and of the said Regulations, what shall be deemed to be the Duration of the Voyage of any Chinese Passenger Ship, and by such Proclamation to alter the Scales of Dietary, Medicines, and Medical Comforts contained in the aforesaid Schedule (4).\n\nNo Chinese Passenger Ship to clear out on Voyage of more than Seven Days without Emigration Officer's Certificate and Copy of Regulations, nor until Bond be given to Crown.\n\nIV. No Chinese Passenger Ship shall clear out or proceed to Sea on any Voyage of more than Seven Days' Duration until the Master thereof shall have received from an Emigration Officer a Copy of the aforesaid Regulations, and a Certificate in the Form contained in Schedule B. to this Act annexed, or in such other Form as may be prescribed by the said Legislature, which Copy and Certificate, with any Documents to be attached thereto (hereinafter designated as Emigration Papers,) shall be signed by the said Emigration Officer, nor until the Master shall, with Two sufficient Sureties, to be approved by the said Emigration Officer, have entered into a joint and several Bond in the Sum of One thousand Pounds to Her Majesty, Her Heirs and Successors, in the Form contained in Schedule C. to this Act annexed, or in such other Form as shall be prescribed by the said Legislature.\n\nV.

It shall be lawful for the Commander of any of Her Majesty's Ships of War, or for any Emigration Officer, Custom House Officer, or British Consul, to enter and search any Chinese Passenger Ship (being a British Vessel or within British Jurisdiction) so long as such Ship shall have any Passengers on board, and for Forty-eight Hours afterwards, and in case such Ship shall be engaged on a Voyage of more than Seven Days' Duration, to require the Production of the Emigration Papers of such Ship, and to examine all Persons on board of the same, in order to ascertain whether the Provisions of this Act and of the Regulations aforesaid have been complied with; and any Person who refuses to allow, attempts to avoid, or obstructs any such Entry, Search, or Examination, or who knowingly misleads or deceives any Person lawfully making any such Search or Examination, or who, being the Master of the Ship or having the Emigration Papers in his Custody, fails to produce the same when required as aforesaid, shall be deemed guilty of a Misdemeanor.\n\nVII. In case of any Neglect or Refusal to comply with any of the Provisions of this Act or any of the Regulations aforesaid, or to perform any Stipulation in any of the Contracts made with the Passengers, the Master of the Ship, and any other Person who may have been guilty of or have aided or abetted such Neglect or Refusal, shall each be deemed for each Offence guilty of a Misdemeanor.\n\nVIII.

Every Person who commits or aids or abets in committing any Act or Default by which any Chinese Passenger Ship may become liable to Forfeiture shall be liable to a Penalty not exceeding One hundred Pounds for each Offence.\n\nX.

Mitchell – the Chief Clerk in the Harbour Master's Office with a salary of £250 a year – should be made Inspector of Police and Assistant Harbour Master with a salary of £400 a year, saving £50 a year.\n\nThe Governor concurs with this occasion, and it would in effect be only carrying out arrangements reported in 6033 as not being grade term arrangements until the return of Mr. Mitchell from England.\n\nIt will be observed in 6033 that he states that in consequence of a representation from the Harbour Master, (after Matthias), of the inefficiency of his department until Mr. Mitchell's return to the Colony, he has appointed Mr. W. Gunthorp at £250 a year (Mr. Pedder belongs to the Establishment) and Mr. J. Remedios at £100 a year. These were temporary appointments.\n\nIn the first place, with whom does the inefficiency of the Harbour Master's Department rest? 2.

If this is the case it behoves This Office to take care that the Establishment of the Registrar Master is not augmented unduly.\n\nI cannot but be apprehensive that the Governor will in time make out and that the imposition on Mr Mitchell of the duties of Emigration Agent will be a good ground for him. Mr Quethorpe, is not a Remedy, should be a permanent addition to the Registrar Master's Office. In such case it will be no economy to have transferred the Emigration Agent's duties from the Chief Magistrate to the Assistant Registrar Master, if, at least, such an Office is now sanctioned.\n\nTherefore I would direct attention to the general arrangements of the Governor on this subject before any alteration is permitted in regard to the Emigration Agency.\n\n11 July\n\nare only temporary, & will have ceased on Mr Mitchell's return to his duties.\n\nanswered\n\nDavis must also be attended to.\n\n(5957) Not. the Secy A Plato reports to be unable to appoint him to the situation of Emigration Agent, as the former having made arrangements for the discharge of its duties.\n\nMor Labouchere\n\nHm 1714\n\nI concur\n\nThere is another point to be noticed viz the possible vacancy in the office of Assistant Magistrate.

That of a Chinese Passenger Ship, being British, met with on the high seas; the Officers in command of Her Majesty's ships are to deal with such vessels as follows:\n\nWhere no Emigration Papers whatever are produced, and where it also appears that the Passengers are suffering from ill-usage or neglect, the Officer in command of Her Majesty's Ship is, under the 8th clause of the Act, to seize the vessel, and to send her for condemnation to the nearest port where there is a Vice Admiralty Court; taking care in every instance to send the most ample proofs in his power, by declaration and otherwise, to substantiate the facts of the case; and taking all such further steps to ensure her condemnation and forfeiture, as if the vessel had been captured in War, or had been engaged in the Slave Trade.\n\nIt is to be understood, however, that an Officer thus seizing a vessel is not authorized to put the Master or crew under arrest, or to detain him or any of them against their will; though it would be desirable in each case, to obtain, if possible, the attendance before the Admiralty Court of the Master and of some portion of the crew.\n\nWhere, however, although there are no Emigration Papers on board, it does not appear that the Passengers are suffering from ill-usage or neglect, or where the Emigration Papers produced appear to have been forged, or fraudulently altered, or that the regulations prescribed by the Act for the comfort and convenience of the Passengers have been contravened, the Officer in command of Her Majesty's Ship is not to take any step for the seizure of the ship; but is, in accordance\n\n3\n\nwith the 15th section of the Act, to make a full statement of the facts in a declaration, which should state the nature of the offence sought to be proved. As this document may be used as evidence in legal proceedings of a very penal character, it must be framed with great caution and particularity, and the circumstances of the case be stated as simply and with as much precision as possible: a duplicate of the declaration\n\nis to be sent officially to the Governor of Hong Kong, and another duplicate to the Secretary of State for the Colonial Department.\n\nIn reference to the 4th point: If an Officer\n\nin command of one of Her Majesty's Ships shall receive a requisition, in writing, signed by an Emigration Officer, Officer of Customs, or British Consular Agent, to give his assistance\n\nin navigating to the nearest port where there is an Admiralty Court a vessel which shall have been seized by any of the said Officers, such Naval Officer is to furnish, provided the exigencies of the Service will admit of it, a sufficient crew for the above purpose. As this proceeding, however, is purely ministerial on the part of the Naval Officer, Her Majesty's Government will indemnify him for any expenses incident to this service, and for any damages\n\nand legal charges which he may incur.\n\nMy Lords desire that you will, upon the receipt of this despatch, give the necessary instructions to the Officers in command of Her Majesty's Ships and Vessels under your orders, and desire them to act in conformity with the views herein expressed, so far as the exigencies of the Service, and the nature of the duty upon which they are employed, will permit.\n\nYou will further instruct them to transmit to you, for the purpose of being forwarded to this office, a report of any proceedings which they may adopt consequent hereon, and copies of all declarations which they may make.\n\nI am, &c.\n\nTHOS.

I apply to Britannia, queen of seas and colonies, the words in which her latest novelist portrays his heroine: \"ake la as mild as she is game, and as game as she is mild.\" The English delight in the un- taganden which comhlars in one person the extremes of courage and tenderness. Nelson, dying at Trafalgar, sends his love to Lord Collingwood, and, like an inco- eent schoolboy that goes to bed, says, \"Kiss me Hardy,\" und turns to sleep. Lord Collingwood, his comrade, was of a nature the most affectionate and domestic. Admiral Rudney's figure approached to delicacy med effeminary, and he declared himself very sensible to fen, which he surmounted only by considerations of honour and public duty. Clarradan says, the Duke of Buckingham was so modest and gentle, that some com tiers altempted to put effrouts on him, until they found that this modesty and effeminacy was only a wark for the most terrible determination. And Sir James Perry said, the other day, of Sir Joha Franklin, that, \"If he found Wellington Sound open, he explored it; for he was a man who never turned his back on a danger, yet of that tenderness, that he would not brush away a Mon- quito,\" Even for tusir highway men the same virtues is elclmued, and Robin Hued tomes described to us an altissimus prædimum, the gentlest thief.

The task is to proofread this text, correcting spelling errors, fixing spacing issues, rejoining broken sentences, and restoring paragraph breaks, all while preserving the original content and format as much as possible.\n\n## Step 2\nFirst, we need to identify and correct spelling errors. For example, \"Wongkong\" should be \"Hongkong\", \"sh. 1000j€rawa\" should be \"sh. 1000\", and \"Brit. bk 670 Dod\" should be \"Brit. bk 670 Dod\" (no change needed here, but \"Brit.\" is an abbreviation for \"British\" which is correct). \"Dut. 764 ric\" should be \"Dut. 764\", and \"Earl of Windeer\" should be \"Earl of Windsor\".\n\n## Step 3\nNext, we need to fix spacing issues. For instance, \"XCR (85)72\" should be \"XCR(85)72\", and \"GR 1178/1922/32 (III)\" should be \"GR1178/1922/32(III)\".\n\n## Step 4\nWe also need to rejoin broken sentences. The text contains many lines that are split due to OCR layout errors. For example, sentences that are broken across lines without a logical reason should be merged.\n\n## Step 5\nRestoring paragraph breaks is another crucial step. The OCR output may have incorrectly merged or split paragraphs. We need to format the text into proper paragraphs based on the content and logical breaks.\n\n## Step 6\nIndicate missing words with \"...\" if a word is clearly missing due to OCR damage.\n\n## Step 7\nThe text should be formatted in standard Markdown. This includes using headers (#, ##, ###), sub-headers, bold-type (**bold**), and tables using Markdown table syntax.\n\n## Step 8\nSince the text is a mix of different documents, including newspaper articles and court transcripts, we need to be careful not to rephrase or rewrite the content. The task is to correct errors and improve formatting without changing the style, tone, or word choice.\n\n## Step 9\nNo translation of text is required, and file references should not have any spacing inside parentheses.\n\n## Step 10\nPage numbering lines, if detected (usually six lines in total, three at the page beginning and three at the end), should be kept as they are, as they were originally used during scanning to delineate page metadata.\n\n## Step 11\nThe output should be in HTML using for paragraphs and \n only if absolutely necessary.\n\nThe final answer is: \n\n324\n\n25\n\n[NO. 6.

PEEL AND THE FOREIGN PRESS. The French papers are much amused with Sir Robert Peel's speech, and give copious extracts from it, together with translations from the comments of the London journals. The Assemblée of Saturday devotes an article of four columns to the matter, but it is only remarkable for the feeble attempts made to translate the Yankee expression \"soft sawder.\" The redacteurs of the Assemblée, who probably put their heads together and consulted their dictionaries, give the result of their learned researches in the following note:-*** It is all soft sawder, an expression more American than English, and one which it is impossible to translate literally, sawder' leans a sawyer who handles his saw lazily, and does but little work. A 'soft sawder' is what, in the language of working people, is called un lambin, un grande iche, une poule mouillée.\" Having by this lexicographical process obtained a choice of epithets, the Assemblée selects lambin as the most appropriate, and nervously in the text of the article it is represented that Sir Robert Peel, instead of saying that the grand duke's frankness and cordiality was all \"soft sawder,\" called him a \"great drené\" (lambin.)\n\nIn the matter of the Asiatic Marine Insurance Office.

If any new private instructions have been given to Contractors or others to set aside this Government order. 2. If not, it is a high disgrace that Government should allow its servants to employ labourers on public work on a \"day of rest.\"\n\nI merely state what I saw almost under the windows of our Lieutenant Governor's house and opposite the house of the Registrar General and the Collector of Police &c., several Chinese workmen were employed in repairing the road; lower down the street, near the house of the Attorney General, and just outside Formosa, on the 24th instant, spoke the American brig \"Getes,\" whose gang of workmen were busily employed in setting up the large iron gates at the bottom of Gough Street.\n\nVox Populi is not admissible on the ground, amongst others, that the writer falls into the errors which he condemns.

The undersigned offers notice that parties who have any articles which were taken at Cowloon will immediately return them to this Office.

They run thus:\n\n1. \"Have nothing—I never took anything.\"\n\n2. \"I have not stolen anything.\"\n\n3. \"I have not stolen anything.\"\n\n4. \"Seen.\"\n\n5. \"Not a legal question—stole nothing.\"\n\n6. \"Stole nothing.\"\n\n7. \"Stole nothing.\"\n\n8. \"Stole nothing: the two hats Dr. Bridges said there was no bar in taking. I have already returned.\"\n\n9. \"I have stolen nothing.\"\n\n10. \"Has stolen nothing.\"\n\n11. \"I took nothing away from Cowloon.\"\n\n12. \"I have not stolen anything.\"\n\nThis was not all; one of them afterwards wrote a letter demanding an apology under the threat of \"court of inquiry.\" We have not this intermediate correspondence, but the fellow who signs himself \"X X X\" in the China Mail, has said, so it has come to pass, the Registration Ordinance is progressing, and we have an altered and amended—if not improved draft copy of the Ordinance in the last Government Gazette.\n\nThe Band of the 59th Regiment will be performing to-morrow on the Parade Ground, weather permitting, at 4½ p.m., the following pieces:—\n\nMarch—\"Souvenir des Alpes\"—Leitzer.\n\nPolka—\"Jalve.\"\n\nSelection 4—\"Quadrilles Mouton.\"\n\nWaltz—\"Auf dem Lufte, Gung'—Strauss.\n\nGallop—\"Corsa\"—Kulorer.\n\nWe beg to return our sincere thanks to His Excellency Sir John Bowring Knt. LL.D. &c. for so kindly furnishing us with the precis of the contents of the papers taken at the attack on Cowloon, &c.\n\nBetween that and \"stolen\" there is a mighty difference in the minds of some people. We will illustrate the difference by telling the following story:—A Leith wine merchant whose business had been declining, and upon whom a strong desire for military fame just at the same time fell, was glad to take service with Don Pedro when he contended with Miguell for the throne of Portugal.\n\nIt would have been for him had he in the course of his universal acquirements stumbled upon the precaution of the good Chamundas; or had looked nearer one at the protector-te of Olyfe the hammer, when the community was governed without Laws. Back leginnion, however, was not suited to the busy, meddling mind of Wilmi le Teary. On the contrary, he conceived that the true wisdom of legislation consisted in the multiplicity of laws. He accordingly had great punishments for great crimes, and little punishments for little offences. By degrees the whole surface of society was cut up by ditches and fences, and quickset hedges of the law, and even the sequestered paths of private life so hemmed by petty rules and ordinances, too numerous to be remembered, that one now] could walk a large within the risk of having off a spring-gun or falling into a man-trap—\"Knicker\"-bocker's History of New York.\"\n\nTo the Editor of the \"China Mail.\"\n\nThe COVENT, 1st April, 1857.\n\nDEAR MR. F——\n\nMy wife (who can fight anticly for my peace of mind) derives her views of Hongkong politics from the Friend of China.

It would of course be expecting too much from a man who was only a radical member of parliament any such liberality—that style of individual does not act in such a way. All his liberality is expended in clap-trap, and when the time of action comes, he is found to be nothing but a windbag—As for the Mail we could expect no courtesy from it in such a case.\n\nThe Coromandel returned to harbour on the morning of the 26th, from the survey of the rock on which the unfortunate Raleigh struck. The survey was made by Captain Bates, who was accompanied by Mr. Williams, Master of the state that so well known Raleigh, and when then for him.\n\nAs we are a day behind the for, thanks to our kind friends, the above firm, we think it unnecessary to republish the documents, but we call attention to the reasonable inference drawn by the\n\nThere is one drop of comfort in this bucket of filth—the Ordinance never will be carried out, not even when the gloss of novelty is upon it. There is no staff of officials to carry it out.\n\nWe may therefore rest satisfied that the minds of the Chinese will not be undermined by this Ordinance, and the only bad effect of it will be to disgrace a British Statute book. Spies there are, and will be—like other vermin they are useful and can be dispensed with; but the more we can do without them the better, and we hope never to see the day when the inhabitants of a whole colony shall turn spies, and no one however respectable be safe.\n\nThe Sampson has had an engagement with pirates near Mi-chin bay, to the South of the entrance of the Straits of Hainan. The steamer had followed them up to this place which it appears they have made their rendezvous for some time past.\n\nThe result of a sharp and successful contest was the complete defeat of the Pirates who were compelled to retire, having about 200 killed, wounded, or prisoners, in the hands of the assailants. We have not heard of any serious casualties to any of the Sampson crew.\n\nXI.

It shall be the duty of the Kápcheong to communicate forthwith to the Registrar General all such reports as in Section Fourteen are mentioned, when the same are received by him; and likewise to report to him to the utmost of his skill and knowledge, all Cases, or Suspicions of Crime, whether reported from the Kap or not; and in all other respects to discharge the duties and exercise the powers of a Constable of the Police Force of Hongkong, so as the same are altered by this Ordinance.\n\nThis is the spy system on which the Ordinance rests.\n\nWe give below part of a correspondence between Sir John Bowring and the officers who were employed on the descent lately made on Cowloon, powerful in her armament and crew as the Sampson is.\n\nGovernment Office, 25th April, 1857.\n\nMY DEAR COLONEL—I have been quite shocked to hear that, among other things, the official sent were eiti- Register\" or \"Register's Advertiser, please address to the \"Printer and Publisher\n\nWe further learn that the Chinese captured have been given up to the Mandarins at Amoy, and that the Portuguese taken are to be handed over to the Macao Authorities.\n\nThe expedition to Chek-chun was accompanied by Mr. Wan and acquainted with only one of the inculpating facts by surprise. A large number of \"braves\" were found concealed in the city, and a few house before the attack.\n\nThere is no evidence that poisoning as an art has been practiced in China, and we search her annals in vain for a case parallel to that of Hongkong.\n\nThe pith failed through the dilatoriness of the mandarins sent for distribution among a portion of the attacked force, & quantity of a perennial creeper found on the hills of the central provinces.

Several of Mr. Markwick's gold wristlets were found concealed in a two watchkeys, a ring, and a gold watch and chain had also been pawned to pay a gambling debt, but were not in league with the police.\n\nThe expedition to Cowloon was accompanied by Dr. Bridges, Mr. Caldwell being confined to his room with illness and though the inslemency of the weather prevented it from starting till day light, several hours after the time contemplated, the soldiers were within a hundred yards of the fort ere the Chinese thought of even closing the gates.\n\nThe doors were instantly scaled, the gates opened, and the fort taken possession of, without the longest violence being used towards the Chinese.\n\nIt is said that not far from every poison tree the antidotes were ordered from the Pacific to join Commandant was of course in a state of great alarm.\n\nNOTICE TO MARINERS.\n\nShanglus, 23d March, 1857.
