Choy Anchan Lo Ah kneen Kov Ahwor Quan chỉ là Foo Ahsie Wong Ahma Now theu Wun Soey Love Locy Chun Ahckas Nung Alijon On the 14th August last the French ship Albert, of the port of Dieppe, and of the burther of 252 tons, left the neighbourhood of Macas in China for Callas in Peru, having on board one hundred and eighty Chinese Coolies, whose services had been engaged for a period of five years. From the time of leaving and up to the 7 September, the Coolies were frequently beaten by the Captain and Chief Mate, and on one occasion, for a trifling offence, two men were lashed to a boom for six hours, kept without food, and one flogged thrice during the interval.\n\nOn the morning of the 7th September the treatment was unusually severe, though it appears the cause of this severity was laudable - the Captain desired to keep \"the persons of the Coolies cleanly\" - probably he had in view the melancholy loss of life from disease recently reported to have overtaken a number of Coolies bound to South America under similar circumstances. While they were being beaten, the Coolies rose en masse, armed themselves with knives and hatchets and with whatever they could find about the decks, from the Cook's galley, and murdered both the Captain and the book-keeper. At the same time, their rage against the latter being caused or at least increased, by an attempt to withhold from them the weapons they desired. Breaking into the Captain's cabin, they possessed themselves of the tools belonging to a turning lathe with which he was in the habit of amusing himself.",

I was about this year in connection with the gold escort troop. I was then severely wounded\n\nin an encounter with bushrangers, I returned to England. I was afterwards Superintendent of Police in\n\n(I am now nearly five years of age).\n\nas\n\nwas connected with the London Police. It was as a Superintendent of Police and was attached to the Home Secretary's Office. I have performed special duties in various parts of England, Birmingham\n\n& Manchester for instance. Altogether I was about ten years I suppose in these towns and in some of the English Counties. At that time the Police Act had just been passed and the services of experienced officers\n\nwere greatly in request. I was sent to various places & to form or perfect their Police forces.\n\nI was afterwards sent to Scotland, where I was under the Sheriff of Lanarkshire. I held the local rank of Lieutenant which is equivalent to that of Superintendent. I was specially employed\n\nin Edinburgh & other places in enforcing Forbes-Mackenzie Act. I was in Scotland less than two years. I sometimes acted as Deputy Procurator Fiscal.\n\nIn 1862 the Duke of Newcastle appointed Inspector of Police in the Mauritius, where I remained till I came to Hong Kong.\n\nIn my capacity as Inspector of Police, I commanded a Police district, I also acted as Commissioner and Deputy Procurator-General. I prosecuted all cases up to the Assizes. The appointment\n\nof Inspector\n\nMauritius\n\nis superior in every way to that of Superintendent\n\n288\n\nAttention\n\nHong Kong. I had £800 per\n\nAnnum in all in the Mauritius\n\nFebruary 29th 1872.\n\nThe Regiment I was in was the Fifth\n\nDragoons. I was a\n\nCornet. This was in\n\n1813\n\nI was specially attached to the Home Secretary's Office with the title of Superintendent of Police. My\n\nSalary was £200 per annum with travelling allowances. There are many Superintendents of\n\nPolice in London, I fancy the rank of Superintendent of Police at home does not equal that of Superintendent of Police\n\nin Hong Kong. A Superintendent is higher than an Inspector.\n\nI beg\n\nleave to submit my printed testimonials. I was specially sent down from London to Birmingham\n\nand Manchester & to obtain some\n\ninformation for the Home Secretary. On one occasion, I was employed in\n\nLancashire, investigating disturbances which had taken place, for eighteen months.\n\nMy appointments are correctly reported in The Colonial Office List for 1871.\n\nI was frequently sent about from County to County to organise the Police. I was sent to Sussex for instance, to Chichester. In Wiltshire I was at Devizes. At Brighton there\n\nwas a Borough force. In Berkshire I was at Reading.\n\nI cannot state the year\n\nin which I was in Lanarkshire under the Sheriff Archibald Alison.",

It is because I have gloried in The Queen & our country, from boyhood till now, that I am determined to defeat the attempt that has been made to wreck my future after my long and honourable Service of the State. No one in or out of Her Majesty's Service can be more anxious to avoid scandal than I; but when you, a Cabinet Minister, lecture me in a depreciatory tone through the Field Marshal Commanding-in-Chief for my conduct, you help to confirm the Royal Highness's refusal of my application for employment and are simply adopting measures to close my military career. His Royal Highness's good opinion of me in the past is proved by his selecting me for duty in China and for other tasks in which I may have made myself useful. I justified the selection in every possible way. He also selected me for the command of the 2nd Brigade at Aldershot, for the command of the Oxford Sub-District when such distinguished officers as Sir Archd Alison G.C.B. were doing all in their power to secure it. He selected me likewise for the Reward for Distinguished Services (vide Army Estimates for 1875-76) when I believe no officer junior to me in years or Service was upon that roll of honour.\n\n## \n\nPage 280 \n\n(Illogible text fragments: \"fa que av\", \"توه\", \"ca-Co\", \"$\") remain as is due to being unproofreadable.",

Hutchison, Superintendent of Imports and Exports, who holds a Commission in the Hongkong Volunteer Corps to take his place in addition to doing the work of his substantive post.\n\nMr. Hallifax has now gone on leave to England and I have had no option but to take another Cadet Officer in Mr. G. R. Sayer to act as Private Secretary. Mr. Sayer is still a Passed Cadet and his appointment therefore infringes the ruling contained in the 7th paragraph of your despatch No.173 of the 15th of June, 1911, but as no suitable senior Cadet Officer is available for the appointment I trust that in this instance you will waive your objection having regard to the difficulty in which I am placed.\n\nI would have appointed Mr. J.

        "content_text": "240\n\n24 HOURS.\n\nJuly 16.\n\nMr. John Melville Anderson, master mariner, was the plaintiff in a Supreme Court action this morning in which he claimed $1,515 damages from the Man Wing Steamship Company, this consisting of three months' salary in lieu of notice.\n\nMr. H. G. Sheldon, instructed by Mr. J. A. Gordon Leask, was for the plaintiff and Mr. F. C. Jenkin, instructed by Mr. D. McCallum, was for the defendants.\n\nMr. Sheldon said that Mr. Anderson joined the employ of the chief officer of the company \"Haitan\" in December, 1923, and in January of the following year was appointed master, continuing in that capacity until November of that year. His appointment as master followed the proceeding home of Capt. Jones and it was on Capt. Jones's recommendation that Mr. Anderson was appointed.\n\nThe interview at which the appointment was made took place in the presence of Mr. Chang, the managing director of the Company, and Mr. Ho, an interpreter. Capt. Jones and Mr. Anderson being the only others present.\n\nAt that interview, Mr. Anderson would tell the Court that there was no question of notice discussed at all.\n\nThere was no written agreement but it was verbally agreed that Mr. Anderson should take over at the same wages and emoluments as Capt. Jones.\n\nNo Reason Given.\n\nIn November 1924 when the ship returned to Hongkong, said Mr. Sheldon, Mr. Ho came on board and handed Mr. Anderson a letter terminating his engagement. No reason was given and Mr. Ho said he could give none. It was not his doing but the decision of the owners.\n\nMr. Ho offered Mr. Anderson a month's wages which Mr. Anderson refused. Mr. Anderson had an interview with the Harbour Master also with the secretary of the China Coast Officers' Guild as a result of which he saw solicitors.\n\nMr. Anderson had not been able to get employment after his dismissal until January of the following year when he accepted a position as third officer on one of Jardine Matheson's coastal boats.\n\nMr. Anderson then went into the witness box and bore out counsel's opening remarks. He had had twenty years' experience of the China coast, he stated, eleven of which had been with Messrs. Butterfield and Swire as second and chief officer.\n\nCross-examined by Mr. Jenkin, witness said that his salary with the employ of defendants worked out to about $237 a month. He joined Jardine Matheson's after he left the defendants on January 17, 1925.\n\nMr. Jenkin: So you were employed for 37 days of the three months in respect of which you make your claim.\n\nWitness: Yes.\n\nMr. Jenkin: That reduces your claim to $1,234.48.\n\nIn answer to further questions, witness said that as chief officer with the defendant company he had been on a 24 hours' agreement.\n\nAn Old Friend.\n\nMr. Jenkin: Capt. Jones was a very old friend of yours?\n\nWitness: Yes.\n\nMr. Jenkin: And do you mean to tell us that he neither mentioned to you nor did you know of your own knowledge that he was on a 24 hours' notice agreement?\n\nWitness: Yes. It was not until his return that I found that out. He said he forgot to tell me.\n\nMr. Jenkin: The question of the period of your service and of possible length of notice is one of the most important points to consider when entering into an engagement, is it not?\n\nWitness would not commit himself in reply to this question.\n\nThe evidence of Mr. Anderson having concluded the case for the plaintiffs, Mr. Jenkin briefly addressed the court before calling Mr. E. Chang to give evidence. He spoke of the practice followed by the defendant company in engaging masters on 24 hours' notice and said that it was incomprehensible that this very important factor would have been entirely omitted from the interview, as a result of which Mr. Anderson was appointed.\n\nMr. Jenkin put it to Mr. Anderson that what had taken place at the interview was that he had been engaged \"on the same agreement\" or \"on the same terms\" as Capt. Jones.\n\nThis witness denied and said that only the question of wages and emoluments was discussed. The interview only lasted a few minutes, Mr. Chang could not speak English and Mr. Ho interpreted and told witness that Mr. Chang was agreeable to his being engaged on the same wages and emoluments as Capt. Jones.\n\n\"Allee Same Agreement.\"\n\nMr. Jenkin: I put it to you that Mr. Chang said to you and Capt. Jones in broken English \"allee same agreement. Capt. Jones: 24 hours notice,\" and that you, or at any rate Capt. Jones, said \"Yes.\"\n\nWitness: No, that is not so.\n\nMr. Chang did not speak even in pidgin English.\n\nMr. Jenkin: Would you have taken the position if it had been offered you on those terms?\n\nWitness: No.\n\nMr. Jenkin: Why not?\n\nWitness: I would not consider it a proper agreement for a master.\n\nAsked what ships other than the \"Haitan\" he had been master of on the China coast, Mr. Anderson replied that he had been master of the \"Chuen Chow,\" a river boat, and of vessels in Australia.\n\nThe whole question hinged on the interview at which Mr. Anderson was appointed, said Mr. Sheldon. Mr. Anderson had no knowledge as to what notice Capt. Jones was on. It was not until after his dismissal that Mr. Anderson found out that Capt. Jones had been on a written agreement under which he was liable to 24 hours' notice.\n\nMr. Jenkin: Were you not under a 24 hours' notice agreement as master of the \"Chuen Chow\"?\n\nWitness: No.\n\nMr. Jenkin: Were you on a 24 hours' notice agreement as junior officer?\n\nWitness: Yes.\n\nJuly 16.\n\nIn his final address on behalf of the owners at yesterday afternoon's hearing of the case in which Mr. J. M. Anderson, master mariner, claimed $1,515 from the Man Wing Steamship Company as wages in lieu of notice of termination of a verbal agreement for his captaincy of the s.s. \"Haitan,\" Mr. F. C. Jenkin dealt with the element of hardship which might appear on the face of things. He would like to point out, though, he said, that Mr. Anderson by the fortuitous fact that Capt. Jones went home on private affairs in 1924 stepped into a job whereby his salary was doubled for a period of ten months.\n\nMr. Jenkin said it was inconceivable that, although Mr. Anderson was working on the same ship as Capt. Jones and was a very great personal friend of his, he was not aware of the conditions of Capt. Jones's employment whereby he could be dismissed at 24 hours' notice.\n\n[No. 2998-July 22, 1926]\n\nIt was thought that there would have been discussion of terms of employment. It was also remarkable that in handing Captain Anderson a letter dismissing him at 24 hours' notice, Ho should have offered him a month's salary in lieu of notice. In the first correspondence between the solicitors, there was no mention of this.\n\nThe first letter from the plaintiffs was to the effect that the claim was for wrongful dismissal and that Captain Anderson was entitled to three months' notice. It was remarkable if the solicitors had known of this that they should not have mentioned it in their letters. Had they done so, it would have strengthened plaintiff's case.\n\nCaptain Jones, whose place plaintiff took, was in fact on an agreement determinable at 24 hours' notice and he found it difficult to understand how, when the four men met, Captain Anderson was not in possession of this information.\n\nIt was to him a matter of regret that neither side had called Captain Jones.\n\nThe question of 24 hours' notice was evidently present in the mind of Chan and it appeared reasonable to suppose that this important matter was mentioned at the interview.\n\nHe came to that conclusion without finding that Captain Anderson had deliberately attempted to deceive the court, because the meeting seemed to have been short and informal and it was possible that the plaintiff did not fully apprehend all that took place.\n\nHe entered judgment for defendants, with costs.\n\nCAPT. MACINTOSH.\n\nJuly 16.\n\nCapt. W. MacIntosh of the pirated s.s. \"Tungchow,\" (seized in January last by Cantonese pirates near Weihaiwei, taken to Bias Bay and then abandoned) is leaving for Home.\n\nCapt. MacIntosh is one of the China Navigation Co.'s best-known skippers, and he left Shanghai last week for England on the P. & O. He had to have a foot amputated, as a result of the wound he received when the ship was seized.\n\nThe pirates tried to compel Capt. MacIntosh to surrender. As a consequence, he refused to do so. The pirates shot at him, and Capt. MacIntosh was wounded.\n\nThere was evidence before the court that he was on a practically ever 24 hours' agreement with the same company.\n\nThree men arrested on a sampan were identified as members of the pirate gang and were put to death recently before a firing squad in the native city at Shung-shan.\n\n\"Remarkable Version.\"\n\nHis Lordship in delivering judgment said Captain Anderson's version of the interview was remarkable, notice being three months.\n\n[No. 2998-July 22, 1926]\n\nTHOUGHT FEELING.\n\nJuly 16.\n\nProfessor Maximilian Langsner, a Pole who has devoted his life to the study of telepathy (\"thought feeling,\" as he prefers to call it) and hypnotism is at present in Hongkong in the course of a world tour.\n\nThe practice adopted by Prof. Langsner is to make a prolonged stay in each country for the purpose of carrying out observations which will enable him to perfect his art. He realises that this cannot be accomplished in the space of a few weeks such as might enable a novelist to write a passably good novel with certain local colour.\n\nHis study of the psychology of the peoples of the various countries included in his itinerary is extended over a considerable period. He has been on his travels for some years and intends to devote another two or three to life in China and Japan.\n\nThe countries he has visited in the course of the present tour are Greece, Egypt, Persia, India, and Indo-China.\n\nProf. Langsner has given demonstrations in Telepathy in some of the places he has visited. Such demonstrations are not, however, the main purpose of his visit.\n\nHe emphasises that his feats are not illusions, in fact he prefers to have a sceptical audience. If it should be practicable for a local demonstration to be given, Hongkong people will have the opportunity of witnessing the remarkable powers which Prof. Langsner undoubtedly possesses.\n\nIn Indo-China, according to the Press, \"his claim to read the mind of another was genuinely proved. It was the most convincing demonstration of telepathy yet given to a theatre audience.\"\n\nConfirmed By Reuters.\n\nSimilar appreciation is reported from the other places he has visited, glowing accounts being given of his almost incredible demonstrations, sceptics who challenged him being reported as entirely convinced of the genuineness of his claims and subsequently becoming his friends and advocates.\n\nIn Calcutta, where he was challenged to make a long-distance telepathic communication, he detailed what was happening in certain streets in Paris and London, events which were confirmed by the manager of Reuters in Calcutta.\n\nIn Cairo, before a packed audience, five lions placed in an arena were mesmerised and, in the words of one of the newspapers, \"became as quiet as the docile cats of Angora.\"\n\nWhilst in Persia, the Professor was awarded the order of the \"Sun and Lion\" by the Shah and presented with a pair of Persian carpets.\n\nAnother test to which he was subjected in Indo-China was to drive a car blindfolded for a long distance, the occupants of the car being French officials.\n\nKIDNAPPING CASE.\n\nJuly 16.\n\nFurther evidence of a railway porter from Taipo and a woman occupier of a house at Second Street was called at the Central Magistracy this morning in the case in which a Chinese woman was charged with alleged kidnapping of an eleven-year-old boy.\n\nMr. E. S. C. Brooks appeared for the defence.\n\nEvidence was given by the constable of firing four shots with the intention of stopping the man who escaped after discarding his coat.\n\nPrevious to that, the detective had carried out a KIDNAPPING CASE.\n\nAfter hearing evidence, Mr. Lindsell considered that the charge could hardly be maintained, as the defendant had made no secret that the boy accompanied her on the train and in fact had told the principal tenant about it.\n\nOne very strong corroborating point was the evidence regarding the character of the deceased. No one had come forward to identify him.\n\nDealing with the use of firearms, Mr. Lindsell said that shooting was permissible in certain circumstances such as in chasing a man who is suspected of having committed a felony.\n\nIf it be believed the constable's story that the dagger was found on the man, then it was not an unreasonable assumption that the man was a felon, although the police had not been able to prove that a felony had been committed.\n\nIf the constable was justified in firing to stop him, and further, if he killed the man, then the killing was in law justifiable.\n\nThe Verdict.\n\nThe following were the questions to the jury and their answers:-\n\nHad the constable during the pursuit reasonable cause to suspect that the man had committed a felony? Yes.\n\nIf so, could he have effected an arrest by any other means short of firing? No.\n\nMr. Lindsell: On those answers, I return a verdict of justifiable homicide.\n\nPUPILS WORK.\n\nJuly 16.\n\nThe end of the term at Victoria British School (East Point) was made the occasion of an open day, parents and friends visiting the premises this morning and taking advantage of the opportunity of seeing the work done by the young pupils during the term and of observing the excellent system on which the school is run.\n\nThe basis on which the methods of instruction are founded is that the pupils should actively co-operate with the teachers as much as possible.\n\nIn this particular, the representation of material particulars which are under study by means of tableaux constructed by the pupils themselves is worthy of mention.\n\nThe pupils are encouraged to cut out from picture books the several ingredients to the scenes, the idea being that, pictorially represented, they convey a deeper meaning than mere words can do.\n\nSpecimens of the work of the scholars in needlework, designing, stencilling, etc., were on display, also some of the examination papers. These were the object of much interest by the parents and other friends who were welcomed by Mrs. E. M. Clark, Headmistress, and conducted over the premises by the staff and pupils.\n\nMrs. Clark, in welcoming those present, thanked the parents for their co-operation in the conduct of the school and the training of the children and expressed the hope that they would continue working together to the ends. Mrs. Clark also mentioned that she was always willing to co-operate in with a caution training for pupils particularly gifted along certain lines.\n\nA very pleasing programme of dances was then gone through, \"The Pipes of Pan\" to the accompaniment of the gramophone and \"Sleep Fairies\" and \"Bubbles\" to the pianoforte accompaniment of Miss A. E. Hendry, in charge of classes 6 and 7.\n\nThe younger scholars gave \"The Pierrots\" and the older pupils gave \"The Big Chief\" to the pianoforte accompaniment of Miss Hendry.\n\nThe pupils taking part were:-\n\nClass 6: Marie Clarke and Sidney Fowler.\n\nClass 7: Douglas Mackay, Douglas Taylor, James Clark, Alex MacFarlane and Albert Moss, William MacFarlane.\n\nClass 8: Mary Taylor, Ernie Fowler and Alison Mackay.\n\nInfants (\"B\"): Florry Fowler, Stella Stevenson, Eric Stone,\n\nInfants (\"A\"): Jean Clark, Robert Glen and Billy Gegg.\n\nFATAL WOUNDING.\n\nJuly 16.\n\nThe inquiry into the death of a Chinese who was shot by a detective was resumed before Mr. R. E. Lindsell and a jury at the Central Magistracy to-day.\n\nIn his summing up to the jury, Mr. Lindsell said he saw no reason to doubt the evidence of the constable which was corroborated in material particulars.\n\nHe held that the boy accompanied the woman of his own accord and he did not believe the story that he was dragged into the train.\n\nThe defendant was discharged with a warning and the boy's brother, who was present in court, was ordered to look after him in future.\n\nDEEP-SEA FISHING.\n\nJuly 16.\n\nA local deep-sea fishing competition will be held towards the end of this month for members of the Hongkong Angling Club if the weather permits. Particulars as to conditions will be announced later.\n\nMembers wishing to take part are requested to send their names in, as soon as possible, to the hon. secretary, Mr. E. B. C. Hornell, c/o Messrs. Jardine, Matheson & Co., Ltd.\n\nA Chinese push cyclist was charged at the Kowloon Magistracy on July 15 with using a motor horn on his machine. Defendant pleaded ignorance and was discharged with a caution.\n\nA Chinese, charged with the murder of his wife gave evidence at the Central Magistracy on July 15, stating that the woman accidentally plunged a chisel into her throat. He was committed for trial at the Sessions.\n\nThe practice adopted by Prof. Langsner is to make a prolonged stay in each country for the purpose of carrying out observations which will enable him to perfect his art. He realises that this cannot be accomplished in the space of a few weeks such as might enable a novelist to write a passably good novel with certain local colour.\n\nProf. Langsner is a gifted linguist, speaking no less than six languages. He was a personal friend of the late Enrico Caruso who was also a student of the occult.\n\nWriting to him on one occasion the great singer said \"You hypnotise the world with your eyes. I hypnotise the world with my voice. We are both hypnotisers.\"",

AMERY, M.P., &c., &c., &c.**\n\n3.\n\nI regret that I am not now able to support the claim with a certified copy of the men's discharge as required by the Regulation, but I suggest that this might be dispensed with as the facts of the case are not in question.\n\nI have the honour to be,\nSir,\nYour most obedient humble servant,\nW.D.

A soldier enlisted in the United Kingdom who is discharged from the army at a station abroad on conviction by the civil power may, on termination of his imprisonment, be provided by the Colonial Government with a passage by packet to the United Kingdom. The cost of the passage, and any land expenses of the man incurred in proceeding to the port of embarkation in the colony, will be allowed as a charge against Army funds. Such charges will be settled at the War Office, and claims will be supported by a manuscript copy, certified by the prison governor, of the particulars of the man's discharge as shown on his certificate of discharge. Land conveyance in the United Kingdom will not be allowed.\n\nPage 10\nPage 11",

The Association for Moral and Social Hygiene further expresses the hope that the British Government will review this question in the light of the known conditions now existing in Hong Kong in order that when the Colony is visited by the League of Nations Commission it may be able to report that the British Government is already taking the necessary steps towards a radical improvement of the conditions in regard to brothel-keeping, procuration and the traffic in women.\"\n\nYou will, no doubt, have also received a similar Resolution which was adopted last month by the Executive Committee of the National Council of Women.\n\nMy Committee earnestly express the hope that you will give this matter your serious consideration.\n\nThe Rt.

Andrews, formerly Warder in the Prison Department, Hong Kong, for re-instatement.\n\n2.\n\nWhile it is true that Government looks with disfavour on marriages between its European staff and ladies of mixed race, the only action possible is to deny such officers the privilege of occupying Government quarters, and to grant instead the rather less attractive benefits of a rent-allowance, provided the officer is otherwise eligible for married privileges.\n\n3.\n\nBut Mr. Andrews was not so eligible, as it is the rule of the Prison service here that an officer must complete four years' satisfactory service before permission to marry will be given. Mr. Andrews joined the service on 31st October, 1925, and tendered his resignation on 27th January, 1929 i.e., after three years and three months service, for matrimonial reasons. A copy of his letter of resignation is enclosed.\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE\n\nLORD PASSFIELD,\n\n&c.,\n\n&c., &c.\n\n4.\n\nNo relaxation of the rule regarding married privileges has been made in the cases of Warders Grant and Brimblecombe. Warder Grant had to complete four years service before receiving these privileges, and Warder Brimblecombe, who has still to complete his term, has not yet received them.\n\n5. I recommend that Mr. Andrews be informed that, having resigned from the service of the Government for his own reasons, he cannot be reinstated or re-employed therein.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nMy Lord,\n\nYour Lordship's most obedient, humble servant,\n\nGovernor. &c.\n\nPage 10\n\nPage 11\n\nCOPY.\n\nLAI CHI KOK\n\nBRANCH PRISON\n\nHONG KONG.\n\n10\n\nName.

Celle-ci n'est pas seulement dirigée contre l'IndoChine: il résulterait, en effet, des documents saisis à Shanghai par la Police Internationale chez Hilaire Noulens (Alias C. Alison), Secrétaire du Syndicat ouvrier pan-Pacifique, que Nguyen-Aï-Quoc serait, de son propre aveu, l'agent de liaison et le représentant pour la Malaisie anglaise du Bureau d'Orient du Komintern.\n\nLe Ministère des Colonies a noté que Nguyen-Aï-Quoc sera maintenu en état d'arrestation jusqu'à ce que le Conseil Privé ait statué sur son sort. Il comprend que, dans l'intervalle, aucune décision ne puisse être prise concernant son expulsion ou son refoulement sur territoire français.\n\nSi cette mesure était adoptée, le Gouvernement français estime qu'au point de vue du droit commun, aucune charge ne pourrait être relevée contre Nguyen-Aï-Quoc, qui ne s'est jamais rendu coupable d'un délit de cet ordre.\n\nGeorge Mounsey, Esq., C.B., C.M.G., O.B.E.,\n\nForeign Office.",

JAN., 1934.\n\n### THE BISHOP OF LONDON'S APPEAL FOR ARMENIAN REFUGEE WORK IN SYRIA\n\nThe Editor, **The Stars Market News.**\n\nSir,\n\nWe are indeed grateful to you for your continual generosity in publishing 'The Slave Market News' to champion the cause of the most distressed of all sufferers of the human race.\n\n### ARMENIAN REFUGEES IN THE SYRIAN CAMPS\n\nPoverty and distress are acute amongst all the peoples of the Near East, but more especially amongst the Armenian Refugees in the Syrian Camps, whom the Lord Mayor's Fund has continuously and effectively helped, while at the same time co-operating with the Nansen Office for Refugees (League of Nations), and with other organisations, in determined efforts to find the Armenians permanent homes at last, in urban and agricultural settlements, in Syria and elsewhere.\n\nBut the rigours of winter are immeasurably increasing the sufferings of the thousands who are not yet settled, who are still enduring the sordid misery of the Refugee Camps. Our honorary worker writes again from the Aleppo Camp, describing pathetically her work of feeding as many children and caring for as many consumptives as the funds sent her will allow, from 'The Lord Mayor's Fund' and 'The Save the Children Fund.'\n\nWe thank very much the donors of the following sums, which we have received for the Aleppo Refugees since September 21st, 1933, viz.—one cheque for £2 6s. Od., four sums of 10s., and one of 5s.; in all, a total of £4 11s. Od.\n\nALL GIFTS AND SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR THIS WORK, IN RESPONSE TO THE BISHOP OF LONDON'S APPEAL FOR ARMENIAN REFUGEE WORK IN SYRIA, SHOULD BE SENT TO THE SECRETARY, ARMENIAN (LORD MAYOR'S) FUND, 40, GORDON SQUARE, LONDON, W.C.1.\n\n### FIGHTING THE WHITE SLAVE TRAFFIC\n\nIt cannot be too strongly emphasized that there is urgent need that all Christian men and women should be aroused to take their part in abolishing at last that vilest form of slavery, the White Slave Traffic.\n\nThe wonderful work of Josephine Butler and her Association for Moral and Social Hygiene, ought to be far more widely known and supported than it is, for it is through this great Leader's organisation and dauntless witness to purity, righteousness and justice that this vile traffic, under the aegis of State-Regulation of vice and licensed brothels, has been swept out of the whole of the British Empire and out of practically all of the Northern Nations of Europe.\n\nThe Reports of the Traveling Commissions of the League of Nations exposed the hideous extent to which this vile evil poisons the cities of France, Spain, Italy, and other countries of Southern Europe, of North Africa and Egypt, of Syria under the French Mandate, and is rampant in Japan and China and South America.\n\nAs has been already reported in these columns, the hearts of many men and women of good will are stirring against this abominable practice in these countries where it still degrades humanity, and the splendid work already accomplished by Josephine Butler's Association through trained and skilled workers can be widely extended throughout the world, if only the necessary funds are forthcoming, and if greatly increased numbers of annual subscribers of sums both large and small can be enrolled.\n\nSUBSCRIPTIONS AND DONATIONS TOWARDS THE FUND FOR FIGHTING THE WHITE SLAVE TRAFFIC SHOULD BE SENT TO THE SECRETARY, MISS ALISON NEILANS, ASSOCIATION FOR MORAL AND SOCIAL HYGIENE, LIVINGSTONE HOUSE, BROADWAY, WESTMINSTER, S.W.1.\n\nYours very faithfully,\nLAURA HELEN SAWBRIDGE (Hon. Secretary).\nTHRIGBY HALL, GREAT YARMOUTH,\nChristmas, 1933.\n\n### NOTE BY EDITOR\n\nMiss Sawbridge also pleads for the Assyrians, who have been so shamefully treated by the Allies. A report of the Dean of Chichester's plea for the betrayed Assyrians appeared in the **Church Times** of December 22nd.\n\nReaders desirous of showing their practical sympathy with the Assyrians in their great need, would do well to get into touch with Capt. G. F. Gracey, D.S.O., Overseas Delegate, c/o The Save The Children Fund, 40 Gordon Square, London, W.C.1.\n\n## REPORT OF LEAGUE OF NATIONS COMMISSION OF ENQUIRY INTO TRAFFIC OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN IN THE EAST (Geneva, 1933)\n\nThis volume was reviewed in our columns just after its issue, but as we understand Members of Parliament are referred to this Report in order to \"correct\" our so-called \"regrettable statements\" made in our editorial (October, 1933), we think it is well to state one or two facts.\n\nThe Report can be obtained from the League of Nations Publications Agents, Messrs George Allen Ltd., 40, Museum Street, London, W.C.1. Price 16s. It consists of over 500 pages of closely packed information concerning the Traffic in Women and Children in the East. We venture to think that any Member of Parliament who obtained this volume will not be at all impressed by the official attitude of the Colonial Office regarding the fate of Mui Tsai in Hong Kong. It is true that the League of Nations Report reprints some extracts from the Female Domestic Service's Ordinance of Hong Kong, Nov. 1923, and we would suggest to Members of Parliament that they compare the wording of the Ordinance of 1923 with the information given in the White Paper, `Cmd 3424`, which deals with the position of affairs in 1922-29. The League of Nations Commission of Enquiry could certainly not state that slavery is non-existent in Hong Kong.\n\n### THE FATE OF MUI TSAI\n\nThe fate of Mui Tsai, or child slaves, was referred to in our October editorial, and apparently disturbed the equanimity of the Colonial Office. Chinese brothels are supposed to be closed within three years of 1931. In the League of Nations Report concerning the subject of Prostitution, it is stated \"It is possible to distinguish broadly between persons who procure girls in order to live on the proceeds of their prostitution and traffickers who procure girls and hand them over to brothel-keepers in return for a lump sum; the former are generally middle-aged or elderly women who may be prostitutes or ex-prostitutes, brothel-servants or brothel-managers. Their practice is to purchase children who are introduced by them into brothels at an early age. It is usual for them to clean these children as daughters. The latter are also as a rule middle-aged or elderly women, who describe themselves as maidservants, or perhaps more commonly as \"travelling traders\" (pedlars, commission agents, or guides). Their social status is low, and the funds at their disposal at any one time are pitifully small. In fact, it is not unlikely that these persons are usually agents working on commission. Their employers may be individuals or possibly syndicates working through a Chinese boarding-house. In one case the method is believed to have been to advance money to these agents in return for a promissory note. No doubt, also, credit is given by the boarding-house on the same terms.\"\n\nWe hope to make some further references to the League of Nations Report in our next issue.\n\n### HUMAN LIVESTOCK, by EDMUND B. D'AUVARGNE\n\n(`M58838. GRAYSON & GRAYSON, CURZON STREET, Mayfair, LONDON`). It is to be hoped that all those interested in the subject of Slavery will obtain Mr. D'Auvargne's book. This volume faithfully records the history of slaves during the past three centuries, lifting the veil upon many aspects of the question, which other writers appear to leave alone. The terrible cruelties perpetrated on the slaves by American slave owners, and the awful conditions of the slaves in the \"Middle Passage\" are faithfully shown. The publication of this book should do much to strengthen the hands of those who are fighting for the Abolition of Slavery to-day. It is a terrible commentary upon civilisation to consider that many of the horrible cruelties perpetrated on slaves in the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries are still perpetrated to-day in many areas of the world where slavery flourishes.\n\nIf one could put down the book with a sigh of thankfulness that all the horrors are a thing of the past, it would be a great relief, but one knows only too well that at the time of writing, millions of human beings are to-day in bondage, and subjected to similar inhuman treatment as given in this history of the slave trade of the past.\n\n### KIYOI CHAN, an unwanted Japanese Child\n\nContinued from Page 4.\n\n### SMUGGLING OF FLESH AND BLOOD\n\nConcerning the \"adequate penalties\" imposed, again we refer our readers to the front page, to the correspondence between Lt. Commander Haslewood and the Colonial Office concerning women and girls.\n\nAgain we believe in many respects, Hong Kong is a very well-regulated Colony, and it seems passing strange that difficulties should not be met by the Government of Hong Kong concerning the prevention of importation of Mui Tsai into the Colony, when it is evidently quite possible to prevent or regulate the introduction of opium. One would have thought it would have been easier to have detected a \"servile\" woman being, than a packet of opium. Is the smuggling of human flesh and blood looked upon with more tolerant eye than the smuggling of opium or dutiable merchandise, that may be calculated to swell the Exchequer?\n\n### \"THIS FREEDOM\"\n\nWith reference to the statements made by the Colonial Office to the Member of Parliament (to whom we have referred) that the Mui Tsai are required to be paid wages, and are free to leave their employers if they wish to return to their parents or if they are ill-treated, we would ask the plain man's question. Is it logical to assume that children of tender age upon whom cruelties are perpetrated and upon whom rigid control is exercised by their owners, are likely to be able voluntarily to leave their owners' \"employers\" as the Colonial Office terms them? The whole evidence shows they are not free agents. And is it likely that the army of three inspectors can ensure the payment of wages?\n\nEven in Great Britain, there is plenty of work for the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. Concerning wages, it is evident that their wages so-called often are only paid when a particularly hard case is brought before the Police Court Magistrate, and it is even suggested that the arrears of wages to Mui Tsai may be looked upon in the nature of a fine, as shown by the last paragraph of the Colonial Office's letter on the first page.\n\nThe Colonial Office also intimated that \"isolated cases of cruelty to children occur in Hong Kong, as in any country.\" We would ask two questions on this matter. If only three inspectors are employed (in 1929) considered would be necessary, is it certain that there are only isolated cases of cruelty to children? The Government's White Paper provides information that the number of children who are Mui Tsai in Hong Kong run into many thousands, and the number given by independent observers exceed considerably official estimates. To say the least, it can be seen that it is impossible to state the number of cases of cruelty that may occur. Can the present staff of Inspectors effectively cover the ground? Regarding the so-called \"adequate penalties imposed,\" we can only refer our readers to the reports published in this, and in previous issues, culled from \"The South China Morning Post,\" of the fines actually imposed.\n\nIt should be borne in mind that the value of the dollar in Hong Kong is about 1s. 4d. when calculations are made as to the adequacy of the fines.\n\n### REPORTS NOT AVAILABLE\n\nWith reference to the concluding sentence of the Colonial Office communication concerning Reports received from the Governor of Hong Kong, we must venture to observe that the people in this country who pay for the cost of the House of Commons Library should be entitled to see the publications. We are given to understand that the public are not admitted to the Library, and although the Reports received from the Governor of Hong Kong may contain information that would allay public concern, it is quite possible they may not. It would be a public-spirited action on the part of any of our Members of Parliament to ask whether the Reports obtained from the Governor of Hong Kong on this subject can be published as a White Paper, so that the public would be able to form their own conclusions, and compare it with information received from independent sources in the Colony.\n\n### SLAVERY DOES FLOURISH IN HONG KONG\n\nIn spite of the official view that slavery does not exist in Hong Kong, we shall continue to say that it does. The White Paper shows it does. The reports of Police Court proceedings in Hong Kong show that it does. The evidence of the Anti-Mui Tsai Society shows that it does. The books written by eye-witnesses show that it does. The photographs of rescued children show that it does. The records of the Anti-Slavery Society show that it does. It appears to us that the correct thing for the Colonial Office to do is to admit that it does. If the Government's case is that they consider it is impossible to prevent the bartering and selling of Chinese children under the British Flag, then the Government should say so.\n\nIt is no answer to say there is a Law if the Law is not enforced. Platitudinous smoke-screens of words do not obscure the lurid facts. The Governor of Hong Kong in 1929 stated \"VERY DRASTIC POWERS WOULD BE REQUIRED, IF REGISTRATION WERE TO BE MADE EFFECTIVE, AND SUCH POWERS WOULD BE INTENSELY UNPOPULAR.\" That approximates the truth of the matter, and we are willing to believe it. When those \"Drastic Powers\" are exercised we shall hear no more of slavery in Hong Kong. But that day has not yet dawned.\n\n[one of the children at the Japan Rescue Mission Home, Tomizawa]",

        "content_text": "## \nEast's \"Pleas of the Crown\" (1803), Vol. II, p. 796, defines the offence of piracy by common law as \"the commission of those acts of robbery and depredation upon the high seas which, if committed on land, would have amounted to felony there.\" This definition would exclude an attempt at piracy, because an attempt to commit a crime is, with certain exceptions, not a felony but a misdemeanour.\n\nTheir Lordships were also referred to Scottish textbook writers, including Hume (1757-1838) *Scottish Criminal Law* (1797) and Alison (1792-1867), *Scottish Criminal Law* (1832), where similar definitions are to be found. It is sufficient to say with regard to these English and Scottish writers that as was to be expected they followed in some cases almost verbatim the early concept, and the criticism upon them is:\n\n(1) that it is obvious that their definitions were not exhaustive;\n(2) that it is equally obvious that there appears to be from time to time a widening of the definition so as to include facts previously not foreseen;\n(3) that they may have overlooked the explanation of the statute of Henry VIII as given by Coke and quoted above, and have thought of piracy as felony according to common law whereas it was felony by civil law.\n\nIn \"Archbold's Criminal Pleading\" (28th Edition, 1931) will be found a full conspectus of the various statutes on piracy which have been from time to time passed in this country defining the offence in various ways and creating new forms of offence as coming within the general term piracy. These, however, are immaterial for the purpose of the case because it must always be remembered that the matter under present discussion is not what is piracy under any municipal Act of any particular country, but what is piracy jure gentium. When it is sought to be contended as it was in this case, that armed men sailing the seas on board a vessel without any commission from any state, could attack and kill everybody on board another vessel sailing under a national flag without committing the crime of piracy unless they stole, say, an article worth sixpence, their Lordships are almost tempted to say that a little common sense is a valuable quality in the interpretation of international law. This appears to be recognised in the \"Digest of Criminal Law,\" by the distinguished writer, Sir James Fitzjames Stephen (1829-94), 7th Ed., 1926, at p. 102. At the end of the article on piracy it is stated that \"it is doubtful whether persons cruising in armed vessels with intent to commit piracy are pirates or not,\" but in a significant footnote, it is added that \"the doubt expressed at the end of the article is founded on the absence of any expressed authority for the affirmative of the proposition and on the absurdity of the negative.\"\n\n## \nMurray's Oxford Dictionary (1909) defines a pirate as \"who robs and plunders on the sea, navigable rivers, etc., or cruises about for that purpose.\"\n\nIt may now be convenient to turn to American authorities, and first of all Kent (1826). In his Comm. I. 183, he calls piracy \"a robbery or a forcible depredation on the high seas without lawful authority and done animo furandi in the spirit and intention of universal hostility.\"\n\nWheaton writing in 1836, Elements Pt. II, cap. 2, para. 15, defines piracy as being the offence of \"depredating on the seas without being authorized by any foreign State or without commissions from different sovereigns at war with each other.\" This enshrines a concept which had prevailed from earliest times that one of the main ingredients of piracy is an act performed by a person sailing the high seas without the authority or commission of any State. This has been frequently applied in cases where insurgents had taken possession of a vessel belonging to their own country and the question arose what authority they had behind them. See the American case of the `Ambrose Light` (1885) (*ubi infra*). Another instance is the case of the \"Huascar.” In 1877, a revolutionary outbreak occurred at Callao in Peru and the ironclad \"Huascar,\" which had been seized by the insurgents, put to sea, stopped British steamers, took a supply of coal from one of them without payment and forcibly took two Peruvian officials from on board another where they were passengers.

        "content_text": "6 \n\nEast's \"Pleas of the Crown\" (1803), Vol. II, p. 796, defines the offence of piracy by common law as \"the commission of those acts of robbery and depredation upon the high seas which, if committed on land, would have amounted to felony there.\" This definition would exclude an attempt at piracy, because an attempt to commit a crime is, with certain exceptions, not a felony but a misdemeanour.\n\nTheir Lordships were also referred to Scottish textbook writers, including Hume (1757-1838) *Scottish Criminal Law* (1797) and Alison (1792-1867), *Scottish Criminal Law* (1832), where similar definitions are to be found. It is sufficient to say with regard to these English and Scottish writers that, as was to be expected, they followed in some cases almost verbatim the early concept, and the criticism upon them is:\n\n(1) that it is obvious that their definitions were not exhaustive;\n(2) that it is equally obvious that there appears to be from time to time a widening of the definition so as to include facts previously not foreseen;\n(3) that they may have overlooked the explanation of the statute of Henry VIII as given by Coke and quoted above, and have thought of piracy as felony according to common law, whereas it was felony by civil law.\n\nIn *\"Archbold's Criminal Pleading\"* (28th Edition, 1931) will be found a full conspectus of the various statutes on piracy which have been from time to time passed in this country defining the offence in various ways and creating new forms of offence as coming within the general term piracy. These, however, are immaterial for the purpose of the case because it must always be remembered that the matter under present discussion is not what is piracy under any municipal Act of any particular country, but what is piracy jure gentium. When it is sought to be contended, as it was in this case, that armed men sailing the seas on board a vessel without any commission from any state, could attack and kill everybody on board another vessel sailing under a national flag without committing the crime of piracy unless they stole, say, an article worth sixpence, their Lordships are almost tempted to say that a little common sense is a valuable quality in the interpretation of international law. This appears to be recognised in the *\"Digest of Criminal Law,\"* by the distinguished writer, Sir James Fitzjames Stephen (1829-94), 7th Ed., 1926, at p. 102. At the end of the article on piracy, it is stated that \"it is doubtful whether persons cruising in armed vessels with intent to commit piracy are pirates or not,\" but in a significant footnote, it is added that \"the doubt expressed at the end of the article is founded on the absence of any expressed authority for the affirmative of the proposition and on the absurdity of the negative.\"\n\n7 \n\nMurray's *Oxford Dictionary* (1909) defines a pirate as \"one who robs and plunders on the sea, navigable rivers, etc., or cruises about for that purpose.\"\n\nIt may now be convenient to turn to American authorities, and first of all Kent (1826). In his *Comm. I. 183*, he calls piracy \"a robbery or a forcible depredation on the high seas without lawful authority and done animo furandi in the spirit and intention of universal hostility.\"\n\nWheaton, writing in 1836, *Elements Pt. II, cap. 2, para. 15*, defines piracy as being the offence of \"depredating on the seas without being authorized by any foreign State or without commissions from different sovereigns at war with each other.\" This enshrines a concept which had prevailed from earliest times that one of the main ingredients of piracy is an act performed by a person sailing the high seas without the authority or commission of any State. This has been frequently applied in cases where insurgents had taken possession of a vessel belonging to their own country and the question arose what authority they had behind them. See the American case of the *Ambrose Light* (1885) (*ubi infra*). Another instance is the case of the \"Huascar.\" In 1877, a revolutionary outbreak occurred at Callao in Peru and the ironclad \"Huascar,\" which had been seized by the insurgents, put to sea, stopped British steamers, took a supply of coal from one of them without payment and forcibly took two Peruvian officials from on board another where they were passengers. The British Admiral justly considered the \"Huascar\" was a pirate, and attacked her. See *Parl. Papers, Peru, No. 1, 1877*.\n\nIn Moore's *\"Digest of International Law,\"* (1906) (*ubi supra*), Vol. II, p. 953, a pirate is defined as \"one who, without legal authority from any State, takes a ship with intention to appropriate what belongs to it. A pirate is a sea-brigand, he has no right to any flag and is justiciable by all.\"\n\nTime fails to deal with all the references to the works of foreign jurists to which their Lordships' attention was directed.

Roger  \n11. viii. 37.\n\nI agree that an increase in the salary of the post merely to compensate the present holder for loss of prospects will hardly be justifiable.

Cunliffe-Lister (now Viscount Swinton) on the subject of the emoluments of the Principal Printing Officer, Prison Department.\n\n2. Mr. A. B. Didsbury, who then held, and who still holds this post, has put forward a case for an increase in his emoluments on the ground that by accepting the position, he thereby lost his prospects of promotion to the post of Chief Warder, which is now filled by a man seven years junior to him in service, who has already attained his maximum of £535 per annum. Mr. Didsbury also pleads in support of his case the increase in his responsibilities because of the great increase in the amount of printing done in the new Hong Kong Prison at Stanley.\n\n3. On full consideration, I incline to the view that the scale authorized in Sir P. Cunliffe-Lister's despatch under reference is too short, and I favour the substitution therefor of the scale £460-£530 by annual increments of £10, that is, a seven year scale in place of the existing two year scale with a maximum of £530 instead of £500.

The new salary of £1100, with free quarters reckoned for pension computation at £150 a year, may, I think, be approved. The super scale salaries in the Colony for such posts as the Directors of Public Works, Deputy Inspector General of Police, and Senior Assistant Colonial Treasurer, are £1300 a year, with free quarters reckoned for pension purposes at £150 a year.\n\nThe post of Superintendent of Prisons is a comparatively important one in Hong Kong, and I think we may accept the Governor's recommendation. The confidential reports on Mr. Hopkins are satisfactory, though not particularly enthusiastic, and he will no doubt be considered with other candidates, but in the first place, Proms may wish to suggest other names.\n\n? Approve the new salary, and say that an officer will be selected in due course.\n\nProms. for selection.\n\nThen to incremental scale, a fixed salary for a Dept may be recommended, but that can be done later if necessary. It is certain that £1100 is high enough, and the present Acting Supt. Mr. Hopkins, whose name will be considered with others, has a salary that is on the low side.\n\nP. Rogers (1.12.37) suggests that the Head of the Dept should have a salary of £1100, but it may prove to be in relation to the salaries fixed for other Depts and may need to be reconsidered to attract suitable candidates.",

Sir Alison Russell deals fully with the point in paragraph 6 of his printed notes on disciplinary proceedings of which a copy is attached. If my memory serves, that paragraph was re-written in its present form in 1936 - i.e. after the incidents now being considered and it represents current practice and views. Even Sir Alison found it impossible to lay down any rigid rule. The very wording of the paragraph reflects the difficulty of the choice between the two procedures and I do not think that any criticism need be offered on the decision taken here. The reason given for it (namely, that prosecution was unlikely to succeed) may not have been entirely sound but the offence was, to my mind, so much a Service matter that the initiation of proceedings under old Colonial Regulation 46 were justified.\n\nAnother point raised by the petitioner is the allegation (see paragraph 18) that his being passed over for promotion is in effect another punishment for the offence for which he was reprimanded six years ago. Such double punishment as a deduction from pension for an offence for which increments were withheld or salary was reduced at the time of the offence are always deprecated but clearly a Colonial Government when considering promotion (particularly promotion to the highest grade open to an officer) can fairly take into account the whole of his record. I agree, therefore, that on this point also there is no cause for intervention.\n\nThe reply might be as Mr. Gent proposes but asking that, if the Governor agrees, the petitioner",

RECY\n\nI have the honour to refer to your despatch No. 289 of 31st July, 1939, conveying the views of the Colonial Penal Administration Committee on the proportion of European Staff in the Prisons Department, and to submit the following comments.\n\nThe proportion of one European to every twenty-five prisoners for outside parties was an ideal to be aimed at; in practice no more than one European to forty prisoners is possible. As regards the proportion in the prison as a whole, after accounting for the inevitable numerous absences on leave and on special duty, only twenty European officers are left for disciplinary duty at any given time in a prison containing 2,700 to 3,000 prisoners; an average of one European officer on duty to every 140 prisoners.\n\n3.\n\nI am advised that with few exceptions the Indian officers recruited in the past can only be regarded as reliable when under direct and constant supervision of a European officer.\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE\n\nMALCOLM MACDONALD, M.P.,\n\n&C.\n\n&C.,\n\n&C.,",

Report made by the Commissioner of Prisons regarding the re-organisation of the Hong Kong Prisons Department.\n\nThe Committee commended the Commissioner's report and agreed with the Governor in thinking that he was working on the right lines. They hoped that the Governor will see his way to give effect to the proposals as far as possible.\n\nThe despatch of the 15th March 1939 from the Governor regarding a proposed increase in the establishment of the Prisons Department, and notifying that a scheme for confining short-term prisoners in detention camps was under consideration was noted.\n\nWith reference to the statement made on page 15 of the memorandum that the proportion of staff to prisoners for 'outside' parties should be one European subordinate to every 25 prisoners, the Committee felt that this proportion was high.\n\nThey also considered that in general the European staff of the Department was high and suggested that on general principle the employment of Europeans in subordinate posts should be avoided as far as possible on account of expense. They suggested that this point should be brought to the Governor's notice.\n\n15. Annex III of the League of Nations Official Journal.\n\nThe extract from the official journal (Special Supplement No.188 of 1938) containing the report of the 5th Committee on Penal and Penitentiary questions was noted.",

The vast increase in the Colony's population, due to the Sino-Japanese war, has brought a large number of low-class Chinese into Hong Kong, with the result that the daily muster in Stanley Prison has now reached the large total of approximately 2,900; in these circumstances the present maximum staff of fifty-eight Europeans, which is, of course, subject to constant diminution owing to absence on leave or sickness, is quite inadequate to cope with the duties required of this cadre. Moreover, so large a prison population, containing as it does a considerable number of dangerous criminals, to whom the overcrowded state of the prison offers abnormal opportunities for mischievous or mutinous conduct, necessitates the continuous existence of an armed guard which can be immediately summoned in the event of trouble occurring in any part of the prison.\n\n3.

Informers among the prisoners have revealed the existence of more than one plot of violence which it would not be safe to ignore. An addition to the European Warder staff is necessary in order to keep this guard at proper strength.\n\nI have accordingly engaged provisionally these four additional officers on a temporary basis. It is anticipated that for the present year funds will be available to meet the salaries of these posts from savings on Personal Emoluments. I trust that I shall have your approval of my action.\n\nI may add that I have under consideration a scheme for confining short-term prisoners convicted of crimes, such as persistent begging, hawking without licences and so forth, in one or more detention camps: these will have no connection with Stanley Prison except, of course, that they will be under the Commissioner of Prisons' control.\n\nThese camps will serve to relieve Stanley Prison of some hundreds of short-term prisoners who should not be brought into contact with the more hardened criminals; moreover, the persons confined there will be employed on useful work, such as reclamation.\n\nIt is, therefore, more or less certain that before long I shall apply to you for your approval of the expenditure of a considerable capital sum for the erection by contract of the nucleus of the first detention camp.

When Stanley Prison has been relieved of its present congestion and the long-term men therein have resigned themselves to the prospect of a less comfortable existence than heretofore, the danger of an outbreak in that gaol may pass. But the detention camp or camps will, I hope and expect, be a permanent feature of this Colony's prison organisation and they will certainly need a number of European Warders. I can therefore foresee no reduction in that cadre unless and until the total prison population is greatly reduced. In present circumstances it is useless to prophesy when that state of affairs will arrive; and I assume for that reason that next year's estimates will include this additional provision.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nSir,\n\nYour most obedient, humble servant,\n\nMark A.

I enclose an extract, dealing with that subject, from a report made by him on the Female Prison in September last.\n\n2. I am in full agreement with the Commissioner of Prisons that the salary paid to the Matron who, as he states, is in entire charge of the prison, subject only to the supervision of the Commissioner on his periodical visits, is grossly inadequate for her responsibilities. The same applies to a lesser degree to her immediate assistants, but after discussion it has been agreed that the salaries offered to the wardresses are not inadequate, having regard to their qualifications and to the salaries paid to other female employees of the Government, including the nursing staff of the Medical Department.\n\n3. I seek your approval, therefore, for the adoption, with effect from 1st January, 1939, of the following scales for the Matron, Assistant Matron, and Principal Wardress:-\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE\n\nMALCOLM MACDONALD, M.P.,\n\n&C.\n\n&C.\n\n&C.,",

        "content_text": "# Mr. Sirbotham\n\nThe following minute summarises earlier ones.\n\n1. (1) is a letter from a Hong Kong firm of Solicitors forwarding direct to the Secretary of State a Petition from one CHUANG Chu Feng asking for the reduction of a sentence of 5 years simple imprisonment passed on petitioner's son by a General Military Court (under the Military Administration) on the 24th March 1946. A similar petition addressed to the Governor on 17th November 1947 was rejected.\n\n2. Sir Alison Russell minutes that the power to grant pardon or remission of sentence is conferred upon the Governor by the Letters Patent of 1917, Section XV. The Secretary of State cannot intervene. It is proposed to ask the Governor to convey a reply on these lines to the petitioner.\n\nThe form of words used in paragraph 2 of the draft reply (3) is that approved on `55515/648/47` (vide 9 and Mr. Dale's minute of 5/8/47 on that file).\n\n3. You suggested that it might be well to suggest that the Governor should point out to the Solicitors their procedural error in sending this petition direct to the Secretary of State. This point is made in paragraph 3 of the draft reply.\n\n4. Petitioner has sent direct to the Prime Minister a letter asking for his son's release (2) and a further letter (3) asking that it be brought to the attention of Their Majesties the King and Queen that the allied victories in the two world wars could not have been gained without petitioner's well-meditated plans and recommendations. It seems unnecessary to copy this second letter for the Governor, but the first deals specifically with the case of the petitioner's son and should therefore be so copied.\n\n5. E.O.D. Notice No. 95 of the 9th June 1948 authorises Assistant Under-Secretaries of State to dispose of petitions unless an important point of principle or policy is involved. There is an important point of principle here, but it is a well-established one, and I suggest that Ministers need not be bothered.\n\n28.6.48.\n\n## Mr. Paskin\n\nI have somewhat reworded the draft. The practice in this matter is quite clear and, if you agree, I think the draft may issue.\n\n29.6.1948.",

        "content_text": "## Alison Russell\n\nThe latter dispatch will state that the S. of S. is unable to advise H.M. that the petition should be granted. His Majesty's reply in due course should be conveyed again through the Governor and not in direct communication to No. 10.\n\nGranted.\n\nA copy of No. 1 (11) and its enclosures had, I suppose, been sent to the Governor for disposal at the same time.\n\nVuolen  \n3078\n\nDir Alison Russell\n\nI am not quite happy as regards the procedure proposed for dealing with the letter at No. 10 on this file. The position is that, in No. 1, a petition was sent direct to the Secretary of State instead of through the Governor as prescribed. Normally, in such cases, the petition is sent to the Governor with a request for advice as to the reply which should be returned. In the particular circumstances of this petition, this procedure was dispensed with (quite properly I think) and in No. 4 the Governor was requested to inform the petitioner's solicitors that this is not a matter in which the Secretary of State would intervene.\n\nNow, in No. 10, the solicitors have asked that the petition, with the supplementary submission made in No. 10, should be regarded as a petition to the King for the exercise of his residual prerogative, and I agree with the suggestion in your minute of the 20th August that the matter can now properly be dealt with on that basis.\n\nBut the question arises whether it should be so dealt with without first asking the Governor for a report (which we have not yet got)? I do not suggest that we should ask the Governor for a full report on all the circumstances of the case but that he should at any rate be asked for an assurance that he is satisfied that there are no exceptional features in this case which would make it inappropriate for the Secretary of State to advise His Majesty that the petition should not be granted.\n\nApart from the mere question of procedure, I am the more inclined to adopt this course because it does seem to me that the supplementary submission at No. 10 is of a character on which the Secretary of State should have the Governor's observations before reaching a decision. If you agree, I should accordingly be very grateful for your advice as to how this issue should be put to the Governor in conformity with the passage marked X in the last paragraph of the first enclosure to the circular of the 12th December.\n\n1.ix.48",
