Chisholm Anstey, Attorney General, \n\nTrue Copy \n\nColonial Secretary \n\nThe Editor of the \"HONGKONG REGISTER.\" \n\nHONGKONG, 4th August, 1856.\n\nSIR,-Ordinance No. 14 of 1856 entitled an “Ordinance for Fees and Costs\" merits, as I shall endeavour to show you, more than a passing notice, and if my remarks be made in the main more upon the spirit which framed it than upon the letter of the law, it is because, not belonging to the legal profession, I do not presume to enter upon details affecting that calling specially, and because, in this instance, I feel certain that public opinion in cordially welcoming some ingredient of cheapness imported into our legal proceedings will yet keenly scrutinise the animus under which such is introduced.\n\nI cannot however help remarking that clause VIII seems to my mind to legislate for an imaginary opposition anticipated by the framer of the law, and for which it would have been time enough to provide upon the first appearance of symptoms of resistance on the part of the Bar; nor do the Attorneys seem to me likely to benefit by the exception thus formed in their favor, as I much doubt, whether in the case of the other Counsel refusing to accept the fees of the second Schedule of this Ordinance, the framer of that law would decline to take himself those fees which he considers ample for others. If other Counsel therefore are obstinate and strong-headed, we have still, thanks to the Attorney General, one reasonable member of the Bar to whom in our distress we can apply. If the non-official Triumvirate of the Hongkong bar be refractory, the Dictator is at hand, the theory of the Senate it is for him to prove in practice, and Rome will be saved by the timely intervention of its own Censor.\n\nBut if you look to clause XII you will find it this--- \"costs of procedure shall be recoverable by or on behalf of the Crown upon every judgment or decree at Law, in equity, or in the Admiralty or Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction of the Supreme Court, whereby any real or personal estate or any forfeiture or money Penalty shall have been adjudged to belong or awarded to the Crown.\"\n\nTo this date it has been held at Hongkong, as at home and elsewhere, that, as on the one hand the Crown does not pay costs, so on the other as the \"Trustee for the Public,\" as the guardian of its Rights and the vindicator of its claims, it is beneath the dignity of the Crown to recover costs. Its position thus established is truly one of dignity; represented by Patriotic administrators, in the few cases where the Crown may infringe upon private rights, it is enough that without recovery of costs even-handed Justice dispensed by the Crown's own servants should restore to the injured individual his due; and in the many cases where the Crown in the prosecution of its duty enforces the Public law against the private offender, it is sufficient that the punishment should be administered, and the Crown remain screened from the possible charge of having for its pecuniary advantage acted in retributive justice upon the subject.\n\nBut, Sir, it has remained for this \"petty colony,\" it was fated for \"these remotest regions in which British authority is established\" to controvert this long recognised order of things; it has been reserved for Ruling Authorities who hold the Crown to be but an \"Ethereal Essence,\" here to dissipate in legal proceedings its much revered dignity; and to transform an arbiter formerly pecuniarily uninterested, into a prosecutor on whose success will depend in some degree its monied prosperity; in fact to come to an arrangement which might, as an anti-climax, be aptly described by the not very liberal offer of \"Heads I win-tails you lose.\"\n\nBut it is not even to this change in itself that I especially refer, it is to the motive actuating the framer of this clause that I would above all call your attention, and what will be your feelings and those of the public when I tell you, sir, that by the Attorney General's own avowal this clause was inserted by him with the special object, that as several of the Mercantile houses in this colony are richer than the Government itself, and have it in their power, if desirous of doing so, to litigate with it to an extent which would be ruinous to that Government, this clause should be held in terrorem over the heads of these Merchants!!\n\nIt is difficult Sir, to know from what side first to review this monstrous declaration; whether to be more astounded at the hazardous daring and incorrectness of the imputation thus cast upon these merchants' line of proceeding; to be more aghast, (supposing that imputation were just and true) at the \"terrorism\" intended to be thrown with the fatal influence of a pall over the heads of those of the mercantile and general community less wealthy, less influential, and it must be inferred consequently regarded as less dangerous; or to be more indignant, and at the same time grieved, that the Legislative Council of this Colony composed with one exception of men who have all passed a decade of years, or very nearly a decade, in connection with this Colony should not simultaneously with the expression of the opinion have protested against its unfoundedness and its impropriety, and have rejected forthwith its consequence.\n\nIn our Governor's line of action, in sorrow not in anger be it spoken, none of this community place much trust or confidence, but from our Lieut. Governor and from our Colonial Secretary the community does look for a repudiation of any share in such sentiments, and for an independent line of action, when for a malicious object, such threats are suspended over the heads of our Colonists; and let me warn those gentlemen that with these expectations abroad as to their course in the Council of the Colony, any participation in such unprecedented legislation will speedily place them in public opinion in the forces of those in whose ranks they themselves would not wish to be enrolled.\n\nWe may be well sure, Sir, that our respected Chief Justice and our own chosen representative did oppose this clause, not less before the expression of its hidden meaning than after its promulgation, but without support, without the assistance of a second representative of the Public whose appointment becomes under present circumstances actually imperative upon the Government, the responsibility would not even be thrown upon the Governor of having, by his casting vote, to thus at the same time lower the dignity of the Crown in its legal proceedings, and sanction the unjust status established with reference to this community.\n\nTo this Mercantile Community generally therefore, to its Montagues and Capulets, its Colonnas and its Orsini, I say this is no time for divided counsels, nor the period for inaction. The sword of Damocles hangs suspended by a thread over your heads; your freedom of action is impeded, and the \"Reign of terror\" has begun. Shall such an attack upon your freedom of position, shall this threatened \"terrorism\" be passed unnoticed, or shall the same interests and rights at stake find a unanimity of feeling and unity of action ready to preserve them inviolate, and failing the power to obtain the proper redress at the hands of your Colonial Authorities, prepared to appeal to a higher Tribunal in your native country.-I remain, your obedient servant.\n\nVINDICATOR.\n\nPage 72", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-058 - Sir Bowring - 1856 [8-10].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 239554, "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": "CO129-058 - Sir Bowring - 1856 [8-10]", "page_number": 192, "title": "CO129-058 - Sir Bowring - 1856 [8-10]", "content_text": "190\n\nbeen filed and lodged in this Court by the Acting Surveyor General and his or Bruce of Works, Mr. Scott,\n\nClerk of Overseer\n\nthe one in the case\n\nof Mr Daddell, the\n\nother in that of Lye Ating (Mr. Ander's Builder) I today obtained, on motion in open Court, Rules absolute in the\n\nfirst instance for two Mandamuses \"requiring\", in the first case, \"W.

Two of the mandarins have red buttons and peso sent to Caatho to assist Yeh—and it is said, that two of them were formerly in Canton in the time of the first war with Commissioner Lin.\n\n\"Every thing here is quiet, but I say in the harbour a good many mandarin junks displaying a varying flag. Though people are at this time they cannot do any harm here, I would question, that. What could we do prevent their attacking this place and carrying away the heads of the English that are living here?\n\nI am, &c,\n\nThe Hongkong Register.\n\nHONGKONG, TUESDAY, 3 FEBRUARY, 1857.\n\nNOTICE—The Hours of Posting Wrons in the CENTRAL POST OFFICE, Hollywood Road, are on the Subirth at 11 am, and stand on the Evening of every Wednesday at 7 o'clock.\n\nSIXTY.\n\nWe recorded a pedestrian feat last week —walking to the top of Victoria Peak and back six times in twenty-four hours. The same gentleman did the same task this week in twelve hours, which shows, speaking in all honor and praise, that he is an artful dodger; for the latter feat though apparently more difficult, is in reality easier.\n\nProof—a friend of ours went up and down in fifty-seven minutes.—say one hour at four miles. Four times six's twenty-four; and good steady walking, making the trip equal to twenty-four miles in twelve hours is not very great walking.\n\nTaking all the difficulties into account on an undertaking like this is more easily carried through at one heat than in two, we have no doubt that with, or, from what we hear, without halting, the gentleman who has done the six times could easily do the eight if he set his mind on it.\n\nWe have been trying to persuade our ... C. to put himself in training and try the feat—but he says he has been once to the gap and considers that enough is as good as a feast.\n\nNo. 5. FEBRUARY 3, 1857.\n\nThe climate of London is one thing, and the climate of Hongkong is quite another.\n\na more material matter than that of Hongkong, we must decidedly feel of any corps being sent away from this place.\n\nAn urgent necessity exists for augmenting and making the most effective part of the regular police force here, many of whom do their duty conscientiously to the best of their ability—but the superintendence of London is one thing: and the superintendence in Hongkong is another.\n\nThe screw Steamer Sir James Brooke left this at noon yesterday to Hongkong, having on board three companies of Sepoys, a detachment of European Artillery-men, for service in China, despatched on the requisition at the hands of Hongkong.\n\nThe troops consisted of two companies the 29th M. N. I., the European Artillery-men, Pang, and the Company of the Rifle Company accompanying this force are Major Cheslett, Captain Cazalet, Lieut. Foote, and Passingham of the gun, Capt. Man, Lieut. Forster of the Madras Artillery, Dr. Lloyd, Assistant Surgeon, Apothecary Edwards and Sub-Conductor Ball.\n\nThe Sir James Brooke has been chartered for Twelve thousand dollars.\n\nFrom these and other causes which might be specified Hongkong is not in effect London, and a system which may do very well at the latter place may require important modifications at the former.\n\nWe can never obtain the same raw material for a police here as obtainable in London, but we certainly, both in ordinary and in extraordinary times, such as the present, can make the most of our raw—excessively raw material.\n\nFirst: we would make the men effective by putting them on duty for a four hours beat; and if that could not be done conveniently from the central police station, we would do it from three stations—East, West, and Central.\n\nThe S.S. Auckland brought about 100 tons of shot, shell and ammunition from Pinang last week, which will be sent to China as soon as possible.\n\nBraitonore crew Pressa, Jan. 22.\n\nOn the arrival of the Mail at 6.30 PM of Sunday the 1st February we did, for the convenience of our subscribers, what we have not done before—viz: apply for a pass for two coolies to carry the respective Papers, which will secure early delivery.\n\nTwo passes were granted dated 10th January good for 21 days, the time expiring on the 31st January. Of course the 1st February was beyond the pale of the pass but coming direct from the Superintendent of Police we deemed it all right, thinking that police matters were going on in their usual cuddle.\n\nIn this belief the passes were on the night of the 2nd instant given to two of our Chinese Compositors to take them home, and we were somewhat astonished on being awakened at half past twelve, and informed, that our men were in custody.\n\nWe went down to the police office, and there we found the authorities pondering over the passes, and wondering to see the names of the boys written in red pencil, that being the color of the printing of the new passes.\n\nWe explained that a red pencil is a very common article in a printing office and that the names had been written in with that; then on making ourselves responsible for the lads we saw them let go.\n\nMARRIAGE.\n\nAt Belgrave-square, on the 24th November, the wife of Admiral Sir T.

Her owner hearing of this in Macao came over to get all the information he could and reported the same to the Police on the 18th, but as he then knew not where his Lorcha was taken to by the Pirates, of course nothing could have been done to recover the same.\n\nHe went back to Macao and arrived there on the 28th where he learned all the particulars of the capture of his Lorcha by ...\n\nsterious circumstances--but perhaps by relating the same it will speak for itself, and bring to light the case of the Lorcha No. 71 above mentioned.\n\nOn the evening of the 27th January the Portuguese ...\n\n1--Par.

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.

The Jury, a special one, awarded the Plaintiff $1,010, it will be remembered, subject to the Judge's decision on the low point raised by Defendant's Counsel; and our readers, no doubt, are desirous of knowing what has been the result of the matter, and how the disputed point has been arranged. But though, as we have remarked, it is upwards of a month since the trial was reported, from that day to the present we have not heard a word of the threatened kroviment;---so, as the time allowed for the mo time was for some time expired, the verdict of the Jury stands. So much for the verdict whether the award will be forthcoming, or whether we shall obtain even a refund of the costs out of pocket \"are problems the solution of which has yet to be told of \n\nThe Editor of the China Mail, in strictures exhibiting the most extraordinary feeling of sympathy for a suspicious character it has ever been our lot to read, has told the world that, owing to the unjust confinement to which Ah Lum has been subjected, being unable personally to look after his office--he, Ah Lum, is now declared to have become Bankrupt and will have to pass through the Insolvent Court\" and, adds the Editor with an evident hug of gratulation, there will possibly (the italics are ours) be some \"difficulty in recovering the amount of damages.\" Possibly there may--but, at all events, we are placed, by the verdict of one of the most respectable juries ever empanelled in this Colony, in a position to challenge the Insolvent's Balance sheet; and should it be, as we shall not be surprised to find, that Ah Lum's bankruptcy is due as much to his very proper stoppage at business here as to some astounding malversation in the shape of lawyer's fees, or payment of hireling scribes the facts will duly be made patent to the public, and, it will be hoped, produce a salutary effect that the Jury's award will not be altogether lost \n\nThe arrival of the mail prevented the intention of noticing in our last issue a very interesting letter in the Hongkong Register of Tuesday, signed a Catholic Missionary, and of which the intelligent Redacteur of that paper thus remarks.--- \n\nWe publish better from a Roman Catholic Missionary. in reply to some observations by a contemporary as to what ought to be the course of the French in China in his opinion. We don't of course agree with the remarks of our contemporary but we entirely agree with the letter which we publish. Neither the fact nor the spirit are in good taste, and an easy answer could be time to both were worth while which is not. \n\nWhether the letter in question is a reply to our observations--whether it is \"bad taste\" (as one reverend Father disclaims it)--or whether the subject is worth while to notice are all points on which we shall leave our readers to form their own opinions. Here is a translation of such parts of the letter necessary to an understanding of it, and appended is an extract from the speech of His Lordship the Bishop of Victoria, on the 5th of May last, the spirit of which, it rejoices us to find, is entirely in consonance with the honestionsa which May last, the spirit of which, it rejoices us to find, is not our contemporary does not think it worth while to notice. \n\nTranslation, \n\nReferring to the Anglo-French alliance on the China question--the author of the article accuses the French of a desire to impose their religion on Canton by means of bayonets, amusing it (religion) to serve their ambition.\"This alliance so surely desired by Great Britain rests, it is true, on different interests.

Present, Both Members.\n\n**FRANCIS INNES HAZELAND, Esq., Solicitor**,-Called in and examined.\n\nBy the Chairman.-I was present in the Court of Petty Sessions, when Mr Hoey was examined before you by Mr Day. He stated on oath on cross-examination by Mr Kingsmill, that he knew Dr Bridges had a direct interest in the Opium Monopoly.\n\nChairman,-When I tell you that I am convinced that Mr Hoey swore nothing to that effect, but simply to the effect that he knew that Dr Bridges took a great interest in the Opium Monopoly or Ordinance, do you adhere to your statement?\n\nWitness, I do; because I took it down at the time; because I heard it, not because Mr Day told me. Mr Day said, \"you've put it down, haven't you?\" Mr Day I believe did not tell me what Mr Hoey had said.\n\n[JUNE 19, 1858]\n\n**AMBROSE PARSONS, Esq.,**-Called in and examined.\n\nBy the Chairman.-On the 1st or 2d March, I think-and I have taken considerable pains to ascertain the date, at my office Chun-tai-kwong came to me alone; he said \"I believe I know now who is to have the Opium Monopoly, and I want to engage your services.\" We talked on the subject for a little time, on the assumption that he was certainly to get it, though he did not state so. I told him I could not tell what my services would cost him, because I did not know what business was likely to arise out of it. I said, \"you had better give me a general retainer, and then we may be able to make some arrangement for doing the business for a round sum annually.\" He then said, \"I hope it will turn out well, for a large sum is to be paid for it.\" He named some sum, I do not know what; my impression was that his tender had been accepted from the general tenor of his conversation, and not because he directly told me so. I certainly considered that he had retained me to act for him as solicitor in the Opium business. He was an old client of mine, and I had a great respect for him. I certainly should have refused a retainer in the business for anybody else. Indeed, a day or two after, I told Mr Day that I had been retained. I think Chun-tai-kwong called on me once or twice after this, but I had no further conversation with him on the subject, until I found that proceedings had been taken on his behalf in the Opium business, for which I was not engaged. I made inquiries from which I found that in these proceedings Mr Hoey was acting for him.\n\nBy the Chairman.-I was present when Mr Hoey was examined before you in the Court of Petty Sessions. I recollect that he stated on cross-examination by Mr Kingsmill that he had not told Dr Bridges (when he was at the Government Offices to sign the bond connected with the Opium Monopoly) that he (Hoey) had no interest in it. Mr Kingsmill pressed him strongly on this point. This appeared to irritate Mr Hoey exceedingly. Mr Kingsmill then asked Hoey why he did not tell Dr Bridges he (Hoey) had an interest in it. Hoey made no direct reply, but as it appeared to me, he in great anger blurted out, \"because I knew he had an interest in it himself.\" Mr Kingsmill asked no further questions on this point; and when it came to my turn as Counsel for Hoey, I considered that statement so irrelevant to the case that I did not re-examine upon it. Although I do not know whatever Hoey uttered these words,\n\nIn answer to Mr Dent,-No comment was made on this statement of Hoey's by anyone.\n\n**JOHN DAY, Esq.,**-Called in and examined.\n\n...me to be very bitter against Dr Bridges at the time, as I supposed that it was at Dr Bridges's instigation that the proceedings in the Court were taken against him; so that his statement seemed to me suggested by this feeling, and the words themselves were so vague and ambiguous, that they might have been interpreted in a variety of ways, and that it was impossible for me or anyone else to say whether the word \"interest\" referred to Dr Bridges's interest as Counsel, interest as Monopolist, or interest as legislator. I was the more convinced that in making use of those words he was actuated by a hostile feeling, because this was no answer to the question put to him.\n\nChairman. When I tell you that I, the presiding magistrate on the occasion referred to, am convinced that Mr Hoey simply stated to the effect that Dr Bridges took a great interest in the Opium Ordinance, do you adhere to your statement?\n\nMr Day, I am convinced that I am correct in my statement. I told Mr Hazeland to take Mr Hoey's words down. I think I did not repeat the words, but simply said \"take this down.\" I should wish to state to the Committee the circumstances under which I told the Attorney General that Hoey had made this statement. The Attorney General (who had to my knowledge been consulted by Hoey on the case on which I appeared before you,) showed me the draft of a letter he had written to the Government, in which he stated from memory words which he said he had before taken down from Hoey's mouth, and which he (the Attorney General,) had been informed Hoey had since denied. I said I could well believe that Hoey had made such a statement, and that he had done so under the influence of strong feeling against Dr Bridges, for having, as he supposed, instigated the proceedings in the Court of Petty Sessions against him; and I mentioned as a reason for my thinking so, the fact that he had sworn before the Court of Petty Sessions what I have stated to the Committee, and that he was evidently on that occasion actuated by the same feelings as I attributed to him when making the statement to the Attorney General.\n\n**RAFAEL ROZARIO**,-Called on and examined.\n\nBy the Chairman.-I am Interpreter at the Magistracy. By your direction I called at Mr Hoey's at 10.30 to-day. I saw his brother, his barkeeper. He told me that Mr Hoey had left this morning in the Williamette steamer \"for Macao or Canton, or wherever the steamer went.\" He said he did not know when Mr Hoey could be back.\n\nBy Mr Dent. I have asked Chun-tai-kwong why he deserted me in the matter; he did not give me any answer. I do not know that Dr Bridges acted in the case of Chun-tai-kwong in a different manner and one more strongly infringing...\n\nit had cost him. He was dissatisfied with the decision of the Supreme Court in his case, and said that he thought the government had not used him well-that they had not properly supported him.\n\n**MR DOUGLAS LAPRAIK**.-Called in and examined.\n\nBy the Chairman.—I am an inhabitant of long-standing in this place. I am acquainted with trade and business in various branches. [Mr Glatz's letter (1) handed to witness]. I do not consider this a tender at all. I should not only consider myself justified in rejecting, but bound to reject, such a proposal or offer; it is not a tender at all. I have been accustomed to see tenders of all kinds, and in great numbers, and I know the practice with regard to tenders here. I have nothing to state in reference to the subject of your inquiry, except perhaps that Chun-tai-kwong told me a few evenings ago, that after all he expected to clear $20,000 by the business.\n\n**CHARLES GLATZ**.-Called in and examined.\n\nsent this in to government. I have in no respect to complain of the conduct of the Acting Colonial Secretary in reference to the grant of the Opium Monopoly.\n\n**THE REGISTRAR GENERAL**.-Called in and examined.\n\nBy the Chairman. The first occasion on which I spoke to any of Chun-tai-kwong's partners about the Opium grant, was about the 13th March. I cannot speak positively. I do not know the name of the man to whom I spoke, but I had seen him often before. He is a Rice-merchant here. He said to me on that occasion, that his firm had tendered, and he wanted to know whether his tender had been accepted. This was at my office. I told him I knew nothing about it. A day or two after the last day for tendering Dr Bridges sent for me here, and asked me to make inquiry as to the Chuen-lee Company, whose tender he told me was the highest. I ascertained who they were through the man I have just referred to. I did not know that Chun-tai-kwong was a member of the firm, until the Rice-merchant told me so. I do not know whether Dr Bridges knew Chun-tai-kwong before; my impression is that he did not, because he asked me about him.\n\n| Witness | Statement |\n|---------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| ... | ... |\n| YEONG-A-CHEW | By the Chairman-I am surety for Chun-tai-kwong in the bond connected with the Opium Monopoly... |\n\nBy Mr Dent-When I signed the second bond as surety, Chun-tai-kwong was with me, and it was at Dr Bridges's House.\n\n**DR BRIDGES**.-Recalled, and examined.\n\nwas mentioned, I said he was good for $10,000. I never had never seen Chun-tai-kwong anywhere before the day I have mentioned, when I went with the message from Mr Caldwell, and therefore of course not at Dr Bridges's house, nor had I seen him anywhere with Dr Bridges. I was myself suggested to any of Chun-tai-kwong's firm, or to anyone connected with it, to tender for this Monopoly. I never suggested doing so to anyone, except a Canton man, whose tender stood second on the list, and also I told two Opium-shop-keepers here (who had come to me to recommend that it should be disposed of by auction) that they had better tender, as it had been decided to do the business by tender.\n\n...since I went to Macao about a month ago, no communication whatever has taken place between Dr Bridges and myself. Dr Bridges's coolie called upon me to-day, and told me Dr Bridges wished me to come up here.\n\n**YEONG-A-CHEW**.--Examined.\n\nBy the Chairman-I am surety for Chun-tai-kwong in the bond connected with the Opium Monopoly. I told Chun-tai-kwong that the License was to be granted to his firm. I knew this because Mr Caldwell sent for me, and asked me whether I was security for the Chuen-lee, and then told me the Chuen-lee had obtained the License.\n\n...I have known A-hoong for ten years, and Chun-tai-kwong for four years. Chun-tai-kwong and A-hoong can only have become acquainted lately, because I know that A-hoong came to me after Chun-tai-kwong had got the License, and said he wished I would introduce him to Chun-tai-kwong, as he wished to have a share in the License, to put in a Four Hundred Dollars.\n\nBy the Chairman.-I cannot tell what day exactly Chun-tai-kwong first spoke about the retainer to me. It was after the 17th March. The retainer-$400--was paid in my dining-room on the day of the fire. I think on the day on which the second bond was signed here.\n\n...I am certain I showed the tenders to Mr Lyall, to yourself, I believe, and generally and openly. The tender list was passed round the Council table on the 17th March, the day on which the Opium Ordinance was passed. I deny entirely that there was any reference whatever to \"cumshaw,\" as connected with the $400 retaining fee; there could not be.\n\n**OW-A-HOONG**.-Called in and examined.\n\nIn answer to Mr Dent.-The only person connected with Chun-tai-kwong's firm I had ever known before, was the surety A-chew.\n\nChairman.-What was it that Mr Hoey wrote in your room on this occasion?\n\nWitness. The paper which Mr Caldwell mentions that Mr Hoey wrote in my room, I now produce (paper 0.). On the occasion of his being questioned at my office about the statements in the Attorney General's letter, he was asked about the draft letter of the Attorney General; he said he thought he had it, and pulled a number of papers out of his pocket. I believe he did not succeed in finding it.\n\nIn answer to Mr Dent,-I want it distinctly to be understood, that the fee I charged Chun-tai-kwong was not a high one; it was not simply a retaining fee, it was a consulting fee for a year. I thought this plan better than charging a separate fee for every time Chun-tai-kwong might come and consult me; it was a less fee than I mentioned to Dent & Co. last year for somewhat similar business. I have spoken to Mr Day on the subject, and he told me that he considered the fee much too small a one.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-068 - Sir Bowring - 1858 [5-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 245136, "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": "CO129-069 - Sir Bowring - 1858 [5-12]", "page_number": 215, "title": "CO129-069 - Sir Bowring - 1858 [5-12]", "content_text": "# SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE\n\n## ARRIVALS\n\n### AT HONGKONG\n\n24, l'Oriental, Bergen, from Singapore, 10th July.\n24, Robert Henderson, Cubitt, from Macao, 24th July.\n24, Carmel, Fittock, from Port Phillip, 15th April.\n26, Tory Won, Air, Chaps, from Amoy and Sawtow, 23rd July.\n25, Wrathorn, Bruce, from London, 21st March.\n25, Eagle, Wills, from London, 5th April.\n26, Boreus, Jybaev, from Batavia, 3rd July.\n26, Str.

I may instance, on one occasion, I saw him in a room used as an office in Mr Caldwell's house in Gough Street. I went there early in 1857, about a case then under inquiry, in connection with the conspiracy to carry off Colonel Caine and Mr Caldwell. Ma-chow Wong was then seated in Mr Caldwell's office. Mrs Caldwell was there seated, and Mr Caldwell. We had some conversation referring to the case. Upon another occasion I saw Wong Akee in Mr Caldwell's house, some time after he returned from Shanghae, I think in 1855. I cannot recall any particular times, but those two. I have never seen him there in the position of a friend—in the one case already mentioned, he was there, I believe, on business connected with the prosecution, and on the other occasion he did not appear to be there as a friend. I know that in 1855, when he came back from Shanghae, he brought some silks with him; Mr Caldwell told me so. I purchased one of the pieces of silk from Mr Caldwell. Ma-chow Wong's manner and bearing when I have seen him with Mr Caldwell were different from those usually exhibited by a Chinaman in an Englishman's house. I have not observed any other signs of intimacy when I have seen him in Mr Caldwell's house.\n\nI directed early in 1857, Mr Schaeffer, of Victoria, came to me, and said that he believed that his lorcha called the Alma, which had been taken by pirates, was then lying off the Seamen's Hospital, and he wanted Police assistance. Inspector Roberts, and a party of police, to seize the supposed Alma. In due time Mr Roberts returned and reported to me that he had seized the vessel, although he knew that it was not the Alma, because he found about 36 cannon on board—that he had left constables in charge of the boat—that from what the people on board told him he had been induced to call at Mr Caldwell's office, and that Mr Caldwell told him that the lorcha belonged to him, and I believe Ma-chow Wong; and that he wanted then my orders as to the further disposal of the boat. Seeing no cause of suspicion, and that Mr Caldwell claimed the boat, I directed that the Police should be withdrawn from her, without any further inquiry. I am not quite certain, but I think Mr Roberts said, Ma-chow Wong was with Mr Caldwell at the time he went to him.\n\nAnother instance is that connected with the Gold Dust Robbery, a piracy committed in the vicinity of Hongkong, in 1856, in which about $5,000 or $6,000 worth of gold dust was plundered from some returned emigrants. There were some European, and some Chinese prisoners in the case; they were tried in the Supreme Court and convicted. About $1,000 worth of gold dust was found in the possession of different prisoners, and remained in the hands of the police. It was a very difficult and complicated case: the Chinese concerned in it were men of considerable influence and wealth, and but for the zealous assistance given to me by Tong Aku, I am certain the case would not have arrived at a successful termination. I had great difficulty in getting witnesses to speak as to the identity of certain prisoners, and the actual losers of the gold dust—the returned emigrants—although repeatedly written to, and the case remanded from time to time in order to obtain their evidence if possible, persisted in non-attendance. It was stated to me during the progress of the case, and has been stated to me since, and I think Assow the Police Court Interpreter can say more, shewing that there was some connection between some of the prisoners in the gold dust robbery and Ma-chow Wong. The $1,000 worth of gold dust in the hands of the police taken from the prisoners remained in the same custody after the conviction, until some months subsequently I got an intimation from the Acting Colonial Secretary, that a petition had been presented through Mr Caldwell, for its delivery to certain of the returned Emigrants, from whom it had been plundered. I immediately waited upon the Acting Colonial Secretary, and told him that I considered that as these men had in no way rendered assistance in the conviction of the prisoners, in fact had purposely stayed away after their presence had been demanded, that in reason they ought not to receive the gold dust, and secondly that they had no legal right to it. Much more was said, but this was the purport of it. I urged strongly that the property should not be given up, as it would be a dangerous precedent. I was over-ruled, and I then asked permission to deliver the gold dust to Mr Caldwell, so that upon his shoulders should rest the entire responsibility of its rendition to the claimants. This was assented to, and I subsequently delivered to Mr Caldwell at the Central Police Station the whole of the gold dust excepting a very small quantity—7 taels,—which was reserved for certain of the boat people who had had it in their custody, and had been actually witnesses in the case. When I delivered the gold dust to Mr Caldwell, I observed to him, “I am indignant at this proceeding—there is the gold dust; I wash my hands of it altogether; I think you will have very great difficulty in finding out whether they are emigrants or not, but it rests upon your shoulders.\" Mr Caldwell replied, \"I'll take very good care to obtain good security, but at all events Jack will take care of me.\" By Jack I knew he meant Ma-chow Wong. At that time I was standing in the Registration office at the Central Police Station, and saw Ma-chow Wong come into the office with five or six Chinamen, whom I understood to be the recipients of the gold dust. Some short time afterwards, I got a note (R) from Mr Caldwell, asking me to give him the remaining seven taels of gold dust, and I did. I sent an order I think to Mr Grand-Pré, to deliver it to him.\n\nAbout a month subsequent to the apprehension of Ma-chow Wong, a Chinaman presented to me as Sitting Magistrate a Chinese petition. This was interpreted to me by, I believe, Tong Akü, to the effect that the petitioner was one of the emigrants who had been plundered at the gold dust robbery—that neither he nor any of the real emigrants had ever received one fraction of the gold dust, which he understood had been recovered from the pirates—that he had been told that certain men had falsely represented themselves to be the emigrants—that these men had been obtained by Ma-chow Wong—each of them had received a small amount, but that the bulk of the gold dust went to Ma-chow Wong, Mr Caldwell's servant and Mr Caldwell. I asked the petitioner whether he had been deputed by the other emigrants to make this representation. He said that he had, and that they had given him a letter stating what he had represented in his petition. I asked him to produce this letter; he said he had not got it with him, but he could get it. I then told the man that there could be no difficulty as to ascertaining whether the men who had received the gold dust were the real emigrants or not, because I was aware security had been taken for them. I said, \"You go to Mr Caldwell with this note,\" which I then gave him, \"and if you are not satisfied with what is stated to you by Mr Caldwell, come back to me with the letter you speak of, and when I have that, an investigation shall be made.\" The man went away with my note; he returned bringing me a note (S) from Mr Caldwell, which stated that Mr Caldwell could not satisfy the man, because the security papers which he had taken were in the office of the Superintendent of Police. Owing to the security papers not being found in the office of the Superintendent of Police, I directed the man to come again on a subsequent day, being careful to bring the letter with him; but he did not again make his appearance. My belief is that the security papers were not deposited in the office of the Superintendent of Police; they were not given to me, and to the best of my recollection I never saw them.\n\n(39)\n\nOn the first day of my examination I stated, that I had only on two occasions had differences with Mr Caldwell. I gave one of the instances before, and now wish to give the other. When Mr Caldwell was in command of the Eaglet, I think the latter part of 1856, a peculiar case occurred of a man being seized in a brothel by the aid of a Police Constable, who said he was under the impression he was seizing a thief. A man who duped the Constable, and one or two confederates robbed the man of more than $100, and the thieves made their escape with the booty, leaving the Constable with the victim. That led to my knowing the affair, and also to my obtaining information as to the plunderers. About a week after the robbery, a Constable got information that the man who had taken the principal part in the duping and robbery, a well-known bad character, was in the upper part of the house of Ma-chow Wong in the Central Market. The Constable went into the house with the intention of seizing the man, but was met by Ma-chow Wong at the top of the stairs, who forcibly prevented his going further, and while the struggle was going on between the Constable and Ma-chow Wong, the thief jumped out of the window and escaped. I directed Ma-chow Wong's apprehension, and he was brought to the Station, and I think, locked up. I went to the market to make personal inquiry and examine the place, and on my way back to the Station met Mr Caldwell coming down the hill in great haste and visible anger. He immediately accosted me with exclamations of the shame of the arrest of Ma-chow Wong, and saying, \"You think you've got him safe now.\" I recollect telling him that I had nothing more to do with Ma-chow Wong than any one else, and that he must be arrested if he hindered the police in the execution of their duty. Mr Caldwell said, \"I suppose you will let me bail him.” Ma-chaw Wong appeared next morning at the Police Court. Mr Mitchell was the sitting Magistrate. I heard at the time that Mr Caldwell was present at the investigation. I was not there. Ma-chow Wong was discharged.\n\nI have for very many years known Ma-chow Wong; I should say since 1849. I knew for years before that of the existence of some man whom I afterwards knew by name to be Ma-chow Wong, and I knew that that man afterwards known as Ma-chow Wong was Mr Caldwell's principal and most relied-upon informant. During the whole of that time, whenever reference was made to Ma-chow Wong either by subordinate officers of Police, by old European residents, or by Chinese, they always coupled his name with some epithet having reference to his bad character. As a matter of repute and notoriety, I know that Ma-chow Wong has for years been considered an extortioner, a recipient of bribes from gambling-house keepers, a confederate of pirates, and a receiver of stolen goods. I also knew that because of his well-known position with regard to Mr Caldwell, which every Chinaman in the colony very well knew, Ma-chow Wong was supposed to be in possession of great power, and was held in great dread. Of the extent of the dread I became fully aware, when it was my duty to investigate the cases against him. I spoke to very many Chinese of standing and property, and they all exhibited a knowledge of his evil character, but a reluctance to do more than own it. As an instance, at the time that an appeal was made to His Excellency for the pardon of Ma-chow Wong, I knew that a Chinese petition numerously signed had been presented in his favour.

Rozen\n\nrogvs 7\n\nI\n\n**\n\nJAPAN AND ITS PEOPLE\n\nThe following extracts from a letter received by a gentleman in Manchester from his son, a naval officer who is now serving in Japanese waters, will be read with interest:-\n\nYokohama, Oct. 15, 1883,\n\nThe Japanese Government, with whom dealings have been held, cannot be considered in the same light as a government at home strong in its support by armies, navies, and public opinion. The Tycoon is superior to, and exacts allegiance from, the Daimios; but, say the latter, cannot make new laws or abrogate old ones without their concurrence. How that may be we cannot say, little truth being known about the real constitution of Japanese Government, and no written code of laws having hitherto, I believe, been examined by us. I believe, though, that the Government does its best. I do not concur with those who allege false faith or evasions of treaty obligations on their part. The perpetrators of the various late outrages were in no way connected with the government. Undoubtedly that Government was remiss in its pursuit of the criminals, and showed no alacrity to pay the indemnity. But we should remember that their civilisation is 2300 years behind ours; that human life has not by any means an equal value here to what we set upon it. The Government was in a very difficult position; hard pressed on one side by the powerful Conservative party, on the other by the significant attitude of the British forces, by the threatening omen of the late events in China, ending in the treaty of Tien-tsin, and by a quarrel with the court of the Spiritual Emperor at Miako.\n\nOn the other hand they have fulfilled well all the stipulations regarding Yokohama. A fine Bund and several piers have been solidly constructed. The streets are drained. Labour is abundantly and cheaply supplied. There are no restrictions on goods when once they have passed the Custom House. In our treaty we had no necessity, as we had in the treaty of Tien-tsin, to insert a clause to the effect that the British nation was not to be designated in official documents by an opprobrious name. Both the common people and the officers of Government are very courteous and good-natured, and have none of the nasty feeling and idiotic satisfied contempt that Chinamen always evince.\n\nTo give one instance of the wish of the Government to avoid cause of dispute. There have been lately in the neighbourhood of Yokohama a number of Ronin, or vagabonds, not in the service of any Daimio. Guard houses in every direction around Yokohama have been lately erected. No suspicious person, or, indeed, any person, is allowed to pass without showing written permissions from the Yeddo authorities, stating his name, business, &c. If deemed necessary, even the man's sword or swords may be taken away. That these are precautionary measures, not military posts of offence, is evident from their position. I know this to be a fact from personal conversation with Yakumins. The distrust formerly entertained of us is giving way. Amongst the common people there is little or none; the very children run up to you and beg for a tempo. Books of all kinds, whose sale was formerly prohibited, are now openly sold in every street. Dollars are held legal coin. English manufactures, especially camlets and hardware, are held in much estimation.\n\nA firm but conciliatory spirit in our official relations, backed up by the presence of a respectable force, say two or three corvettes, or even smaller vessels, gain for us by degrees all the advantages we seek—not so quickly as to satisfy the merchants here, who seek to make the greatest possible sum in the smallest possible time; but enough so for the purposes of government, who will look rather to permanent, even if slowly gained, advantages than to rapid and precarious favours from the native government extorted either by fear or diplomacy. Indeed there appears to be no other course open to us. By bombarding the seaports we injure an unoffending people, and do little damage to the potentate who may have excited our anger. A military force of sufficient strength would be very expensive, and military operations would be very difficult in a country like this, all hills and valleys, rice swamps, hedges, thickets, and woods, with few roads, and scarcely any, except the seaside one, fit for the transport of artillery.\n\nIn the case of Satsuma, however, it might be comparatively easy to take the Lew Kew Islands, and then have a secure base of operations against any hostile Japanese Government; but how will such territorial acquisitions be looked on at home? There is another powerful and easy means of offence at our disposal I mean the stoppage of the immense junk trade, which would be soon effected by a few of our cruisers and gunboats. All taxes are paid in rice, all wages to Government officials and Daimios' retainers are paid in rice. Rice and fish are the staple food of all classes, and any interruption to the regular supply would have an immense effect throughout the whole empire. Whether we should be justified in thus punishing a whole nation for the fault of a particular Daimio is another question. It would be difficult to make distinction, and yet the measure might be necessary.\n\nA firm conciliatory policy then appears to me to be the best. By contact with our civilisation the Japanese will gradually rub off many of their prejudices. Let us maintain ourselves where we are, and not seek at present fresh ports. To this I would except Osaka, whose neighbourhood to Miako makes it desirable as a base whence we might conduct direct diplomatic relations with the Mikado. Our ships might oftener visit Japanese ports. Instead of lying during the summer months in Hong Kong, or in the deadly river of Shanghai, they might give health and amusement to their crews here. There cannot be any objection to this on the score of defencelessness of Chinese ports, for the time of voyage is only three or four days, and steamers are constantly running, as well as a fortnightly mail (P. and O.).\n\nI will not say any more at present on this subject, and I will say but little now on commercial affairs. There is, however, one very common impression in England, that the trade of this place is not worth keeping, and the value of exports does not exceed £720,000 per year. But the majority of silk and tea goes to Shanghai, and thence to England, and, consequently, is reckoned in English custom-house returns as Chinese exports. The real value of the export trade here is quite £5,000,000 sterling annually, though I can well imagine that the direct trade to England does not exceed £800,000. There are, I should think, 150 to 200 residents in business here, all, apparently, doing well. Houses spring up in every direction, and very soon the concession will have to be increased. At present there are 32 vessels at anchor, exclusive of men of war, and coalers, victuallers, &c. On an average, six vessels weigh a week, loaded with silk, tea, wax, sharks' fins, &c., and a considerable quantity of cotton now just been picked on the fields around.\n\n19", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-096 - Others - 1863.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 258089, "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": "CO129-096 - Others - 1863", "page_number": 90, "title": "CO129-096 - Others - 1863", "content_text": "estoy 3.79 \n\nAuthorige \n\nIn Kinder Zincir the \n\noffence of harbouring the drawrrigo.

For years previously to this last libel Colonel Caine had determined to treat anything to which Mr. Tarrant could give utterance against him with contempt, the more so as his charges had been in the first instance formally found to be \"groundless and without foundation,\" and in this opinion he had been strongly supported by his friends.\n\nLIBEL CASE-In the Supreme Court of Hong Kong, September, 1857.

In the excess of his anger he listened too credulously to the tales and gossips of others, and became the instrument through which publicity was given to libels which, at the time of trial, he was unable to defend or establish.\n\n\"Looking at the aggravated character of the libel itself, and bearing in mind that for a comparatively trifling libel another editor was sentenced, some time ago, to six months' imprisonment, we cannot honestly say that we should condemn the period of twelve months as being too long, provided that the nature of the imprisonment were such, as, for a like offence, an offending editor would be confined in a gaol in England. This colony had unhappily attained an unenviable notoriety for the number and virulence of its libels; the press was but too often made the vehicle of personal malignity and private spite, and even the privacy of domestic life afforded no security against the attacks of reckless libellers.\"\n\nIn February, 1860, Lieutenant-Colonel Caine received from the China trading population of Hong Kong, a piece of plate, in the form of a Chinese looking-glass, about 18 inches high, bearing a dedication, in Chinese, to the following effect: A tribute of praise to the good administration of Lieutenant-Governor Caine. We look for your Excellency as for the coming of the new year; and although you are far from us, we forget not to obey.\n\n\"Respectfully presented by the Chinese trading population of Hong Kong.\"\n\n35\n\n57\n\n7", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-103 - Others - 1864.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 261067, "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": "CO129-103 - Others - 1864", "page_number": 294, "title": "CO129-103 - Others - 1864", "content_text": "Hong Kong Government Records\n\nREC 285 JL 2364\n\nRoyal Mint 291\n\nSir,\n\n20 July 1864\n\nI have the honour to request that the Crown Agents may be instructed to discharge the enclosed accounts, enumerated in the margin, for goods shipped under \"Orthona\", and for current expenses, amounting in all to fifty eight pounds, five hundred and £558.2.0 two shillings.\n\nThe accounts are as follows:\n\nBaylar Ander... - £317-19-10\n\nCash - £3.3\n\n... - £...\n\nTotal: £558.2.0\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nYour Obedient Servant,\n\nJ.

You with unnecessary vehemence insisted to me that this evidence could not be received. I decided to receive it, and your demeanour was, to say the least, offensive and disrespectful in consequence. It appeared to be a point with the Defendant to show that the Plaintiffs by their servants had approved of each package of Sugar before it was shipped, and it was extracted from your clients' Comprador that when the Comprador was absent, a trusted coolie of the Plaintiffs was present. Mr. WAYTE, for Defendant asked where that coolie was. Thereupon I said to you that, as he was a servant of the Plaintiffs, you should produce him in Court. Thereupon you turned to me, and looking me steadfastly in the face, you said with a scornful expression of countenance, our eyes meeting, and in a discourteous and defiant manner, He is not a piece of paper to be produced in Court. Let the Defendant subpoena him in the usual way. On that I, considering that the Defendant was a Chinaman, said to this effect. Do you mean, Mr. POLLARD, to put them to the expense, and difficulty of finding and subpoenaing your own servant? Upon this you with vehemence of tone and manner said to me, I will put only those witnesses into the box, which I as Counsel for the Plaintiffs think fit. I will not be dictated to or talked down by any one as to what I am to do. I was taken aback, and said I was not dictating to you or talking you down; you will do your duty and I will do mine. I meant, as you must have known, indeed, I believe I added that you would call or not call witnesses according to your duty, and that I, in directing the jury would do mine in directing them to make the proper inferences from your keeping back such a witness. What you said, added to your tone and manner, inferred that I had improperly dictated to you and that I had improperly attempted to talk you down. This was your second contempt of Court.\n\nNow there at least should have been an end, but acting on your all but universal rule, you would and did reply to me, and you said, \"That is all right if we would only stick to it\" in a tone and with a manner which inferred and must have been meant to infer that I would not. Now, this was your third contempt of Court. By this time your manner towards me appeared to me to be violent, and your general bearing was such as that I felt the cause could not then proceed with any chance of justice. I felt that the Court had been grievously insulted. I felt it to be my duty then and there either to have committed or to have imposed a fine on you, but at the same time I feared that anger might be present in my mind, and I left the Bench as the least evil before me, and to avoid what from experience I had too much reason to expect—a continuance of insult. After an absence which now wish had been longer, I returned to the Bench. On my return, your manner was contemptuous towards me. Not noticing that, I asked whether you would apologise. Your curt notice of this was, \"For what my Lord?\" You then went into wide generalities that if you had offended, no one was more willing to admit it and apologise. You then referred to my having asked you if you would produce a witness, on which I said that you had tauntingly told the Court a witness was not a piece of paper, as if I did not know a witness was not a piece of paper. Thereupon you said, admitting inferentially that you had said so, but still in a defiant manner, \"Is it that you wish me to apologise for.\" I said yes, and that there were other matters requiring an apology, and you proceeded to address me in a manner and tone as offensive as before from which I felt satisfied, your only object was to get me into a most unseemly wrangle. Not choosing to trust myself then to punish the contempt as I felt was necessary, and feeling that until you had apologised, or at least in the then state of excitement and indecorum into which the proceedings had been thrown the cause could not properly be proceeded with, I adjourned the Court as the least objectional course. You then, still persevering in your defiant tone, protested against the adjournment as being entirely without precedent. I said I should adjourn the Court till Saturday (the Friday being a holiday), adding \"as we cannot get on in the present circumstances,\" and you still, as if you had not caused what happened, desired me to take a note of your objection. You then said, \"if I have done any wrong there are certain steps which may be taken by the Court,\" and you requested me to take a note of your objection. By this language you adopted deliberately all you had previously said, and, so far from apologising, courted the consequences on yourself personally of your contempts. I replied there were such steps, but that I would not then take them. You proceeded, and I had peremptorily to say, Silence, sir. I said you would not dare to use elsewhere such language as you had used. I added the Court is adjourned. Still you persisted in renewing your unseemly language to the Court, addressing me after I had requested you to be silent and after I had adjourned the Court. One of your observations was, I always answer when I am attacked and not without. Your speaking at all was an indecorum; what you said was a contempt in imputing to the Court that it had attacked you, which was the converse of what had occurred. I consider this your fourth contempt.\n\nI was thus, by what you said after the Court was adjourned, driven to adjourn the case so far indefinitely, and I said I could not hear it, you being Counsel, till you should have apologised. I am glad to find that the cause out of which the above occurrences arose has been referred to arbitration, because I feel sure that the arbitrators will decide according to the very right of the case, which unfortunately this Court being tied by technical rules applicable to another state of society can scarcely do.\n\nOn Saturday another case came on, in which you again appeared as Counsel. I having previously directed the Acting Registrar to communicate with you my intention to give a decision unless you previously apologised. I asked if any gentleman had anything to say in reference to Thursday. You were present, looking very indignantly at me, but said nothing. I then shortly referred to and cited the leading cases, shewing that ex necessitate I was bound to punish an insult to the Court, and advised consideration of those cases to persons interested in the matter. My intention was obviously to give you another opportunity after referring to the law to apologise. I said I would give my decision on Monday, and that you had due notice. You, taking the matter as one of dry notice, said, \"I have received no notice.\" It seemed that the Acting Registrar had told you I should give my decision, but he omitted to say on Monday, as I had intended he should. The spirit in which the objection that you had not received notice was made satisfied me that you did not understand what had passed in its true bearings.\n\nHaving obtained leave to address me, you began thus, \"Merely this, my Lord, I don't seek to be aggressive.\" This language under the circumstances of your being before me as charged with contempt, was a contempt, and I designate it your fifth contempt. You proceeded, \"it is the Bench I respect.\" This was said in a tone which clearly inferred and was meant to infer that it was the Bench as distinguished from its occupant that you, a Queen's Counsel, had such respect for as you professed to have. This was a contempt, according to the highest authority, of a very grave character. This was your sixth contempt. You then proceeded to say that you had done nothing which could be properly called an insult. You then sat down and continued to address me, sitting on, and I had to request you to stand whilst you addressed the Court. You then said that was all you had to say.\n\nI give you credit for having uniformly insisted as you did in your defence that you have said and done nothing which can properly be called an insult to the Court. I have no desire to conceal the fact that the difficulty you have imposed on me has very deeply pained me ever since Thursday last, and that it will continue greatly to pain me probably more than it will pain you, not because I am anxious as to my own personal position other than as it is important to sustain the judicial status in this Colony, but because I respect your legal learning, and because our own forensic contests have left on my mind pleasant remembrances of kindly feelings towards you which even present circumstances cannot change, and because you have many qualities which deservedly make you popular. If in duty to my Office I could have overlooked your conduct I would have done so, but to mark my sense of your conduct is in the words of Mr. Justice HOLROYD, \"a duty which I owe to the station to which I belong.\" You say you have never insulted the Court. Whether you are justified in distinguishing the Court and its successive occupants in that language I leave for you to consider at leisure; you have insulted me, and in insulting me you have insulted the Court. I may add that the more humble is the occupant of the Bench for the time, the less learned and competent he may be for his Office, the more important is it to surround him with those forms of respect which have been devised to support authority against those who would usurp, subvert, or destroy it.\n\nI now proceed to pronounce my decision as ex necessitate rei, the only judge of fact and law. I pronounce you guilty of grave contempts, and as from equal necessity this is the only tribunal that can award the punishment, I now fine you in the sum of $200, and, further, I suspend you from practising before this Court as a Barrister and Advocate for a period of fourteen days, or until the fine shall be sooner paid. I have purposely fixed the fine and penalty at the lowest point possible compatible with its being an expression of my opinion of your conduct. Some persons may think that you have only shewn the just independence of the Bar in your habitual demeanour and language towards the Bench. I, however, think I have seen in it impediments to a Judge in the due administration of justice; sometimes, indeed, as I am inclined to think to the undue advantage of clients. The penalty I impose is indeed small, but the effect of the decision is more serious. I trust you will bring this matter before the highest tribunal, the Privy Council. This is sometimes done. As late as in November last the Lords of the Judicial Committee gave leave ex parte to appeal to the Privy Council to the publisher of a journal in British Guiana against a sentence of imprisonment for six months for a contempt of Court in having published articles reflecting on the administration of Justice and on one of the Judges of the Supreme Court there. I refer to this precedent in the hope that you, a Queen's Counsel here, will ask leave and will be allowed to appeal in order that such questions as you may think fit may be raised, and so that the judgment I now pronounce most reluctantly may be reviewed. To any motion for leave to appeal that you may make before the Privy Council, my consent to your obtaining leave to appeal shall be given. If you would prefer another course, some measure may be devised by which the opinion and decision of the Benchers of the Inn of Court of which you are a member may be taken.\n\nJEX.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-123 - Sir MacDonnell - 1867 [7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 270526, "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": "CO129-123 - Sir MacDonnell - 1867 [7]", "page_number": 414, "title": "CO129-123 - Sir MacDonnell - 1867 [7]", "content_text": "409\n\nI'laintiffs so as to show an approval by the Plaintiffs of the Sugars before they were shipped.

Thereupon you said, admitting inferentially that you had said so, but still in a defiant manner, \"Is it that you wish me to apologise for?\" (The Chief Justice here paused a moment, and looking at Mr Pollard, said, emphatically) \"Mr Pollard, your eyes are opened very wide\" (laughter in court).\n\nMr Pollard: And with cause, my lord.\n\nThe Chief Justice proceeded: I said yes, and that there were other matters requiring an apology, and you proceeded to address me in a manner and tone as offensive as before, from which I felt satisfied your only object was to get me into a most unseemly wrangle. Not choosing to trust myself then to punish the contempt as I felt was necessary, and feeling that until you had apologised, or at least in the then state of excitement and indecorum into which the proceedings had been thrown the case could not properly be proceeded with, I adjourned the Court as the least objectionable course.\n\nYou then still persevering in your defiant tone, protested against the adjournment as being entirely without precedent. I said I should adjourn the Court till Saturday (the Friday being a holiday) adding, \"as we cannot get on in the present circumstances,\" and you still as if you had not caused what happened desired me to take a note of your objection. You then said \"If I have done any wrong, there are certain steps which may be taken by the Court,\" and you requested me to take a note of your objection. By this language you adopted deliberately all you had previously said, and so far from apologising courted the consequences on yourself personally of your contempts.\n\nI replied there were such steps, but that I would not then take them. You proceeded, and I had peremptorily to say, \"Silence, Sir.\" I said you would not dare to use elsewhere such language as you had used. I added \"The Court is adjourned.\" Still you persisted in renewing your unseemly language to the Court, addressing me after I had requested you to be silent; and after I had adjourned the Court one of your observations was, \"I always answer when I am attacked and not without.\" Your speaking at all was an indecorum. What you said was a contempt in imputing to the Court that it had attacked you, which was the converse of what had occurred. I consider this your fourth contempt.\n\nI was thus, by what you said after the court was adjourned, driven to adjourn the case so far indefinitely, and I said I could not hear it, you being Counsel, till you should have apologised. I am glad to find that the cause out of which the above occurrences arose has been referred to arbitration, because I feel sure that the arbitrators will decide according to the very right of the case, which unfortunately this Court, being tied by technical rules applicable to another state of society, can scarcely do.\n\nOn Saturday another case came on in which you again appeared as Counsel. I having previously directed the Acting Registrar to communicate with you my intention to give a decision unless you previously apologised, I asked if any gentleman had anything to say in reference to Thursday. You were present, looking very indignantly at me, but said nothing. I then shortly referred to and cited the leading cases shewing that ex necessitate I was bound to punish an insult to the Court and advised consideration of those cases to persons interested in the matter. My intention was obviously to give you another opportunity after referring to the law to apologise. I said I would give any decision Monday, and that you had had due notice. You taking the matter as one of dry notice, said \"I have received no notice.\" It seemed that the Acting Registrar had told you I should give my decision, but he omitted to say on Monday, as I had intended he should.\n\nThe spirit in which the objection that you had not received notice was made satisfied me that you did not understand what had passed in its true bearings. Having obtained leave to address me you began thus, \"Merely this, my Lord; I don't seek to be aggressive.\" This language under the circumstances of your being before me as charged with contempt, was a contempt, and I designate it your fifth contempt.\n\nYou proceeded \"It is the Bench I respect.\" This was said in a tone which clearly inferred, and was meant to infer, that it was the Bench as distinguished from its occupant that you, a Queen's Counsel, had such respect for as you professed to have. This was a contempt, according to the highest authority, of a very grave character. This was your sixth contempt. (At this stage Mr Pollard found some cause of uneasiness at his neck, to which he paid momentary attention. The Chief Justice, again pausing, said) \"When you are ready, Mr Pollard, I will proceed.\"\n\nMr Pollard: The button of my band has come off, your lordship.\n\nThe Chief Justice: Oh, I can wait for that. It is quite proper that the button of your band should come off. (Continuing to read): You then proceeded to say that you had done nothing which could be properly called an insult. You then sat down and continued to address me sitting, on which I had to request you to stand whilst you addressed the Court. You then said that was all you had to say. I give you credit for having uniformly insisted as you did in your defence that you have said and done nothing which can properly be called an insult to the Court.\n\nPage 10\n\n428\n\nEX.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-123 - Sir MacDonnell - 1867 [7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 270548, "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": "CO129-123 - Sir MacDonnell - 1867 [7]", "page_number": 436, "title": "CO129-123 - Sir MacDonnell - 1867 [7]", "content_text": "1\n\nto you or talking you down; you will do your duty and I will do mine.

By this time your manner towards me appeared to me to be violent, and your general bearing was such as that I felt the cause could not then proceed with any chance of justice.

If in duty to my office I could have overlooked your conduct, I would have done so, but to mark my sense of your conduct is, in the words of Mr. Justice Holroyd, a duty which I owe to the station to which I belong. You say you have never insulted the court. Whether you are justified in distinguishing the court and its successive occupants in that language, I leave for you to consider at leisure; you have insulted me, and in insulting me, you have insulted the court. I may add that the more humble is the occupant of the bench for the time, the less learned and competent he may be for his office, the more important is it to surround him with those forms of respect which have been devised to support authority against those who would usurp, subvert, or destroy it.\n\nI now proceed to pronounce my decision as ex necessitate rei, the only judge of fact and law.

So far as it went, the evidence of Plaintiffs' Comprador tended to sustain the defence. You with unnecessary vehemence insisted to me that this evidence could not be received. I decided to receive it, and your demeanour was, to say the least, offensive and disrespectful in consequence. It appeared to be a point with the Defendant to show that the Plaintiffs by their servants had approved of each package of Sugar before it was shipped, and it was extracted from your clients' Comprador that when the Comprador was absent, a trusted coolie of the Plaintiffs was present. Mr. WHYTE, for Defendant, asked where that coolie was. Thereupon I said to you that, as he was a servant of the Plaintiffs, you should produce him in Court. Thereupon you turned to me, and looking me steadfastly in the face, you said with a scornful expression of countenance, our eyes meeting, and in a discourteous and defiant manner, \"He is not a piece of paper to be produced in Court. Let the Defendant subpoena him in the usual way.\" On that, I, considering that the Defendant was a Chinaman, said to this effect, \"Do you mean, Mr. POLLARD, to put them to the expense and difficulty of finding and subpoenaing your own servant?\" Upon this, you with vehemence of tone and manner said to me, \"I will put only those witnesses into the box which I, as Counsel for the Plaintiffs, think fit.

I have purposely fixed the fine and penalty at the lowest point possible compatible with its being an expression of my opinion of your conduct. Some persons may think that you have only shown the just independence of the Bar in your habitual demeanour and language towards the Bench. I, however, think I have seen in it impediments to a Judge in the due administration of justice; sometimes, indeed, as I am inclined to think, to the undue advantage of clients.\n\nThe penalty I impose is indeed small, but the effect of the decision is more serious. I trust you will bring this matter before the highest tribunal, the Privy Council. This is sometimes done. As late as in November last, the Lords of the Judicial Committee gave leave ex parte to appeal to the Privy Council to the publisher of a journal in British Guiana against a sentence of imprisonment for six months for a contempt of Court in having published articles reflecting on the administration of Justice and on one of the Judges of the Supreme Court there. I refer to this precedent in the hope that you, a Queen's Counsel here, will ask leave and will be allowed to appeal in order that such questions as you may think fit may be raised, and so that the judgment I now pronounce most reluctantly may be reviewed. To any motion for leave to appeal that you may make before the Privy Council, my consent to your obtaining leave to appeal shall be given. If you would prefer another course, some measure may be devised by which the opinion and decision of the Benchers of the Inn of Court of which you are a member may be taken.\n\nX.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-123 - Sir MacDonnell - 1867 [7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 272584, "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": "CO129-128 - Public Offices & Others - 1867", "page_number": 142, "title": "CO129-128 - Public Offices & Others - 1867", "content_text": "## THE LONDON AND CHINA TELEGRAPH\n\n### Aug. 13, 1867\n\nMr. Edward Holdsworth contains, in addition to pro forma invoices and account sales of silk shipped to London, the cost per lb. of China raw and waste silk laid down in London at 58. 6d. to 73. 5d. per tael exchange for raw, and 5s. to 7s. 6d. for waste.

The Duke of MONTROSE: I beg to lay upon the table a postal convention between this country and the United States, under which the postage between the two countries would be reduced from one shilling to sixpence. We hope that, in addition to this reduction, we shall have a more frequent communication with America; and I have little doubt that in a short time we shall arrive at what, perhaps, we never could have expected—a daily communication with the United States. By means of this convention, we shall also be able to reduce very considerably the postage to Canada. The letters to Canada passing through the United States will be reduced from one shilling to eightpence. We shall also have an opportunity of facilitating the communication with the new colony of British Columbia. We shall be enabled to send letters there in a much shorter time than by the present route by the Isthmus of Panama, and at a very much reduced cost.\n\nI think your lordships will consider that these arrangements will be satisfactory to the country at large. I must say that the United States Government have acted with the greatest cordiality and with the greatest anxiety to facilitate all these communications. (Hear.) I am anxious to take this opportunity of making some remarks on the subject of our postal arrangements with India and China. After long consideration of the subject, a committee of your lordships' House recommended the Government to give notice for the termination of the existing contracts for the purpose of having fresh tenders and a more frequent communication with India. It was proposed that we should have a weekly mail to Bombay, and that a mail should proceed by railway from Bombay to Calcutta and Madras.\n\nWe have followed out the recommendations of the committee. We have given notice to terminate the existing contracts, and advertised for tenders for future contracts to run mails from Marseilles to Alexandria, and from Alexandria to Bombay, China, and Australia. But a very curious idea has got into the public mind on the subject, and it has been alluded to in the other House of Parliament, and in many of the newspapers—namely, that in following out the recommendations of the committee, we intended to give up the control of the postal communication with India, and to throw it entirely into the hands of foreign Governments. This is most entirely and gratuitously a mistake. Such an idea never entered into my mind, or into that of any other member of the Government; and the only ground for it could be that in giving notice for tenders, we did not put into them that we would not contract with any foreign Government.\n\nFrom that, people have taken the idea that we were to contract with the Messageries Imperiales and give up the control of the communication by our own vessels. In the committee of the House of Commons, it was suggested that we should avail ourselves of the Messageries Imperiales in several cases, and even that we should throw it into their hands if they offered a cheaper service than our own countrymen. That is wrong, but I do not say that we shall not under some circumstances avail ourselves of that company, and at present, we send some letters on their way to China by their boats. But these are only supplementary arrangements associated with the boats under our own control. To throw everything into the hands of any foreign country would be extremely impolitic, even though in the first instance, it might enable us to perform the service cheaper.\n\n**COMMERCIAL**\n\n### COFFEE\n\nThe market remains in a very good position, because there was more demand for consumption. For Malang coffee of the last sale of the Dutch Trading Company, somewhat higher prices were paid; the quality was very inferior. Of private imports, white, yellow, and brown sorts are very scarce.\n\n| Type | Quantity | Price |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Ordinary to good ordinary greenish, some brownish, ex Kandeish | 800 bags | different prices |\n| Good ordinary greenish, ex Kandeish | 800 bags | different prices |\n\nImported were 8,144 piculs Java, ex Triton; 1,034 piculs, per Eva Johanna; and 2,612 piculs, ex Landbouw.\n\n### SUGAR (RAW)\n\nThe 38,924 baskets Java which were sold by the Dutch Trading Company on the 24th ultimo realised full May prices for brown and yellow sorts, and f. to under them for white quality.

The assertion may more or less be true, but I cannot warrant it.

SMITH, Acting Colonial Secretary.\n\nHONGKONG, 15th February, 1872.\n\nSIR,\n\nI have the honour to forward to you the Blue Book Returns for the year 1871, together with the Annual Report on the Government Schools for the same period.\n\n2. Although two new schools were opened in the course of the year, the total number under instruction was less than in 1870. There were then 1,302 scholars, as against 1,292 for last year. With one or two exceptions, the attendance at all the schools was less; and this, coupled with the fact that the school at Shek Shán, which had a large attendance in 1870, was discontinued in the beginning of 1871, will account for the diminution, amounting in the gross to ten, in the numbers for the year.\n\n3. Not only was the number enrolled for the year less, but the regularity in the attendance at most of the schools was considerably interfered with, especially towards the end of the year.\n\n4. As this was owing to circumstances connected entirely with the Village Schools, both those supported and those aided, the causes will be fully considered in that part of the Report which refers to them.\n\n5. The Central School continues to advance steadily in point of numbers. The number present during the year was 367, as compared with 337 in 1870. The average monthly enrolment was 249, as against 237 in the previous year; and the average regular attendance for 1870 and 1871 stands as 225 and 234 respectively. The highest and lowest monthly enrolments were 265 and 232, as compared with 248 and 208 in 1870.\n\n6. It is evident from these numbers that causes which tend to interfere with the Village Schools in no way affect the Central School, which has not only held its own, but has advanced steadily, in spite of periodical commercial depressions, and other exceptional causes.\n\n7. On the 10th of next month the school will have had a history of ten years. Although it would be wrong to measure its progress by decades and not by years, I cannot help reverting to the state of things on the opening day, the 10th of March, 1862.\n\n8. Having arrived in the Colony but a few days previously, I had no knowledge of Chinese. I found congregated in the two Chinese class-rooms a crowd of nearly 300 boys, about one half of whom were scholars under the three Chinese masters, whose schools had previously been in various streets in the Upper and Central Bazaars. The rest were either candidates for the English classes, or stray-comers for the gratification of curiosity.\n\n9. The normal state of a Chinese school is that the lessons are shouted at the pitch of the voice. My entrance was the signal for a startling display of this diligence. Unaccustomed to such a deafening din, my first feeling was surprise, and my second anger. I shouted “Silence!” This was tacitly interpreted to mean \"Read louder!\" Another attempt at order meeting with a fresh accession of noise, I retreated, almost in despair, to one of the lower class-rooms, where I had interviews with my young friends in more manageable detachments.\n\n10. In the course of a day or two, 141 had been arranged in three classes for the learning of English. Of these 55 had some previous knowledge of the language, and 86 had to begin with the alphabet. The remaining 117 read Chinese only. An attempt was made for about six weeks to teach the English classes, with the help of two Chinese assistants, who, at that time, should have been in rather than over a class. The attempt proved abortive, and an appeal to the Board of Education had the effect of reducing the numbers to 94. Excessive as even this number was for a commencement, it was desirable, for many reasons, that it should be maintained. Only one reading book, a very elementary one, could be found in the Colony, and this had to be used in all the classes till school materials could be obtained from England about seven months after.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-157 - Sir MacDonnell Acting Governor Sir Kennedy - 1872 [4-5].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 288838, "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": "CO129-159 - Sir Kennedy - 1872 [9-12]", "page_number": 211, "title": "CO129-159 - Sir Kennedy - 1872 [9-12]", "content_text": "203\n\nNov. 18, 1872.] THE LONDON AND CHINA TELEGRAPH.\n\nHARTERED BANK OF INDIA,\n\nAUSTRALIA, AND CHINA.\n\nHATTON-COURT, THREAD NEEDLE-STREET, LONDON\n\nIncorporated by Royal Charter.

E. A. J. HARRIS. (L.S.) ROEST VAN LIMBURG. (L.S.) DE WAAL. \n\n Note of the British Plenipotentiary. \n\n IN proceeding to the signature of the Convention between Her Britannic Majesty and His Majesty the King of the Netherlands relative to Coolie emigration, the Undersigned, Plenipotentiary of Her Britannic Majesty, is instructed by his Government to state to M. Roest van Limburg and M. de Waal, Plenipotentiaries of His Netherlands Majesty, as follows:- \n\n 1. Her Majesty's Government have assented to the wish of the Government of His Majesty the King of the Netherlands that the Dutch Colonial Regulations of Surinam of 1861 should be recognized by Article XXII of the Convention as the basis for all agreements for labour in Surinam, in the same manner as the Martinique Regulations were, by the Convention of 1861 between Great Britain and France, made the model for the French colonies. \n\n The Dutch Regulations on the subject of labour are rules relative to task work; and it is at present impossible to say whether those rules are, in effect, harsh or liberal to the emigrant, or whether a native of India would, at the rates therein prescribed, be able to perform so much work as would afford to him adequate means for subsistence, and enable him, with proper care, to lay by a small sum every month. Under these circumstances Her Majesty's Government, in acceding to the desire of the Government of the Netherlands, have instructed the Undersigned distinctly to declare, that it will depend upon the effect which those Regulations shall be found to have in practice, and upon the willingness hereafter of the Dutch authorities at Surinam to attend to any reasonable suggestions of the Protector of Emigrants for their modification, whether the Convention shall be renewed on the expiration of the term prescribed for its duration. \n\n 2. The Government of His Majesty the King of the Netherlands have proposed, for reasons founded on experience, that the provision in Section 3 of Article VIII, to the effect that the contracts of service shall make stipulations as to the rations of the emigrant, should be omitted or modified. Her Majesty's Government assent to that proposal so far as to make the provision applicable only to cases in which rations are given; but they do so only on the presumption that the kind of food required by natives of India can be procured at Surinam, and that, of course, when rations are not given, an equivalent for them will be given in wages. \n\n 3. The Draft of Convention proposed by Her Majesty's Government contained in Article XX a stipulation that the immigrant should receive his stipulated pay during the time he may be detained in the colonial depôts previous to distribution. In acceding to the desire of the Netherlands Government that the stipulation in question should be omitted, Her Majesty's Government have directed the Undersigned to say, that it must be distinctly understood that the emigrants are entitled to maintenance in the depôt of the colony from the time of their arrival to the time of their distribution. \n\n The Undersigned, &c.

The barracoons are all shut up, and the coolie-catchers' services are no longer required. By a Proclamation, of which the following is a translation, the noble Viscount San Januario struck the death blow, thus vindicating the Portuguese honour so horribly traduced by the infamous traders :-- \n\n**No. 89.** The Governor of the Province of Macao and Timor and its dependencies, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of His Most Faithful Majesty in China, Japan and Siam, etc., etc. \n\nIn obedience to the orders from His Majesty's Government, the following is enacted: \n\n\"The Chinese Emigration hitherto carried on in the port of Macau is henceforward prohibited. \n\nIn conformity with the provisions of Article 88 of the Emigration Regulations, this determination shall be complied with within three months after this date. \n\nLet the competent authorities take note and execute the present Proclamation. \n\n\"Government House, Macao, 27th Dec., 1873. \n\n\"VISCONDE DE S. JANUARIO, \"Governor of the Province, etc.\" \n\nFurther particulars I will let you know by-and-bye, and, in the meantime, allow me to congratulate you and the noble English press with the old motto—*finis coronat opus* Viva Viscount S. Januario !! \n\nNews of no slight importance reaches us from Macao. Viscount de San Januario has issued in the *Boletim do Governo* a proclamation totally prohibiting the coolie trade from that port on and after March 1874. The following is a translation of the text -- \n\n**No. 69.-**The Governor of the Province of Macao and Timor and its dependencies, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of His Most Faithful Majesty in China, Japan and Siam, etc., etc. \n\nIn obedience to the orders from His Majesty's Government, the following is enacted --- \n\n\"The Chinese Emigration hitherto carried on in the port of Macao is henceforward prohibited. \n\nIn conformity with the provisions of Article 83 of the Emigration Regulations, this determination shall be complied with within three months after this date. \n\n\"Let the competent authorities take note and execute the present Proclamation. \n\n\"Government House, Macao, 27th Dec., 1873. \n\nVISCONDE DE S. JANUARIO, *Governor of the Province, etc.* \n\nWe need hardly say that we most heartily congratulate His Excellency upon this measure. It is what we have always advocated as an indispensable preliminary to establishing an honest trade—if that be possible—under purely official control. The notification prohibiting the trade was published at half past ten on the afternoon of Saturday, and the news spread throughout the \"Holy City,\" causing general surprise and consternation. Many brokers who had received advances in the morning were recalled, and their agreements were cancelled. The fantan houses, with one or two exceptions, closed their doors and many of the barracoon men were dismissed. Upwards of 300 houses will, it is said, be vacated, and some 40,000 persons will be thrown out of employment. \n\nThese facts sufficiently testify to the importance of the action taken. Governor Januario has at length vindicated the honour of the Portuguese flag in the most satisfactory way, and all right-thinking men will appreciate the motives which have inspired both him and the Portuguese Government. Nor will the effects of the proclamation be confined to Macao alone. Peru and Cuba will indeed henceforth find their supply of servile labour cut off. But the Chinese will no longer be able to apply the term \"pig dealer,\" to the passing foreigner, and much of the ill feeling hitherto existing will die out. And this is by far more important than that a few planters should accumulate riches at the expense of human life and suffering. \n\nIt is to be hoped that Governor Januario and his able Secretary, Mr. Mesnier (whose masterly article on the Coolie Trade in the *China Review* has drawn down upon his head the wrath of half Macao) will receive both from Portugal and other countries a due recognition of the services they have rendered to humanity and to the good estate of foreign relations with China. For a considerable period, H. E. the Viscount has been impressing upon the mind of his Government the absolute necessity of total abolition, and Saturday's Proclamation crowns a series of efforts which have provoked considerable ill-will from those whose interests it injures. We trust that the news of his determination to resign is premature, and that he may be persuaded to retain his post at least until Macao has become accustomed to the new order of things. \n\nBy a purely unintentional coincidence, we had already put in type for this evening's paper, the list of coolie disasters from 1852 to 1872, which in this issue occupies so conspicuous a position. We do not, however, suppress it, preferring to let the record, which we intended as an argument, stand as Governor Januario's justification. No such list having, that we are aware of, been previously compiled, those not wholly indifferent to the matters it refers to will doubtless be interested in the details given. The list speaks for itself, and we need merely add that since 1852, over one hundred and ninety thousand coolies have left Macao, the majority of whom have found a last resting place in the countries of their servitude. We may very heartily thank Governor Januario for the fact that the close of 1873 witnesses the extinction of the once infamous Macao coolie trade.\n\n### MEMO.

Lieutenant François Garnier was a naval officer of great ability and merit; he had accompanied Captain de la Lagrée in his expedition up the Meikong River to explore a new route to the southern provinces of China and Thibet: and when that officer died he succeeded to the command of the party, and brought it safely through China to Hankow, and was preparing to prosecute his researches in Thibet when he was sent for by Admiral Dupré to take charge of an expedition to Tonquin.\n\n<<\n\nWhatever were Admiral Dupré's intentions in sending Garnier with an armed escort to Tonquin, certainly the Annamite Government considered it was for the purpose of removing Dupuis in accordance with their request. All, however, known about it was \"that it was sent to restore order\" but whether Dupuis was to be expelled or the Annamites supported, no one knew, but the title given him was Commandant-en-chef des forces de terre et de mer des côtes de Tongking, Envoi Extraordinaire de la Cochin-Chine.\" On the 10th of October the Annamite Envoys and Garnier and his party embarked in the \"D'Estrées,\" French man-of-war, towing a small gun-boat, the \"Arc.\" Calling at Tuson, two mandarins were sent from Huo to introduce Garnier to the Tonquinese authorities. The \"D'Estrées\" arrived at the Cua-cam River on the 24th of October, where Garnier obtained two junks, and left with his staff for Hanoi, which he reached on the 5th of November.\n\nA week before, another man-of-war, the 'Decrès, had been dispatched from Saigon, towing a gun-vessel, the \"Espingole.\" The \"Decrès \" arrived in the Cua-cam on the 7th of November, and the \"Espingole\" left at once for Hanoi with a crew of twenty-eight men, a medical attendant, Dr. Harmand, and a hydrographer, M. Bouillet, under command of an ensign, M. Baluy.\n\nM. Dupuis and his Chinese received Lieutenant Garnier, on landing at Hanoi, with military honours, and he at once penetrated into the citadel through one of the gates, and obliged the sentries to show him the house of Nguyen Tri-phuong, an old man with the title of Marshal or Commander-in-chief at Hanoi, and who had previously fought the French at Kihoa, and to whom he announced himself as the \"French Governor.\" Concealing his anger, Tri-phuong offered Garnier quarters in the native city, which he refused; but, frustrated in obtaining a house in the citadel, he accepted the building outside called the Examination Hall, and at present the French Consulate. As soon as he had left the city the gates were closed, and the officers who allowed him to enter were severely punished.\n\nGarnier at once began to negotiate. He said he had come at the request of Tuduc's Ministers; he had with him two mandarins sent by the Court of Hué, and had even been told he should meet at Hanoi a Minister Plenipotentiary, with whom he could treat. The Minister had arrived, but Nguyen Tri-phuong entirely ignored him, saying that Garnier had been sent not to make a Commercial Treaty, but to expel Dupuis.\n\nOn the day of his arrival Garnier issued a Proclamation. He said he was sent by France at the request of the Annamites, who had been asking at Saigon for help, and his mission was to destroy the pirates who attack vessels on the coast, and to facilitate commerce with Tonquin.\n\nIn the meantime, the \"Arc\" having been lost on the voyage to Tonquin, Admiral Dupré dispatched the gun-boat \"Scorpion\" to replace her.\n\nOn the 10th November M. Dupuis' steamer, the \"Manghao,\" brought a letter from Garnier to the captain of the \"D'Estrées,\" requesting reinforcements; and the following day the \"Scorpion,\" followed by the \"Manghao,\" proceeded up the river, the latter carrying a medical man, Dr. Dubut, and sixty men and three officers.\n\nThus the whole of the French forces at Hanoi on the 14th of November, 1873, not including Dupuis, were :\n\nThe \"Espingole,\" Messrs. Baluy, Harmand, and Bouillet, with 28 men. The \"Scorpion,\" Messrs. Garnier, Esmez, and Bouxin, with 50 men.\n\nThe detachment from the \"Decrès,\" Messrs. Bain, Hautefeuille, Perrin, and Dubut, with 60 men.\n\nThe 30 marines of M. de Trentenien.\n\nDr. Chedan and M. Lasserre, private secretary to Garnier. Altogether, 180 men.\n\n11\n\nOn the 19th of November, Garnier published a second Proclamation, making known the conditions of the intended Treaty of Commerce under French protection. Information had reached him that the Annamites were preparing to attack him, and he thought it would be better to strike the first blow himself; and, as the time he had given Nguyen Tri-phuong to communicate with the Court of Hué had expired, he resolved to attack the citadel the following day.\n\nAt daybreak on the 20th of November, the attack was made. A first column composed of 30 sailors with a gun, headed by M. Bain de la Coquerie, marched toward the south-western gate at 6 o'clock. A quarter of an hour later, Garnier himself left the Examination Hall for the south-eastern gate, with 3 guns, 40 sailors, and 30 marines.\n\nThe great\n\nThe Annamites, taken unawares, offered scarcely any resistance. difficulty in entering the citadel was to break open the gates made of hard wood, and it was necessary to bring the guns close to and fire at a distance of a few feet,\n\nWhile the southern gates were being stormed, the shells of the \"Espingole\" and the \"Scorpion were falling near the western gate, and, by frightening away the defenders of the place, contributed to the success of the day. M. Dupuis himself, though Garnier had declined his offer of service, was taking a share in the fight, and his soldiers, having managed to scale the Eastern Gate, entered the citadel first, and dispersed for pillage. Garnier, however, gave strict orders to stop all disorder, and by 7 o'clock, the citadel being entirely in his hands, he sent back all the troops to the Examination Hall, except the marines.\n\nSome 200 natives had been killed or wounded, while on the side of the French there was not a single casualty to report. A great number of officials were made prisoners, including the Envoy from the Court of Hué, who had been ignored by the Marshal, the Governor of Hanoi, the two sons of Phan Tanh-gian, who signed the Treaty of 1862 on behalf of Annam, and Nguyen Tri-phuong himself. The Marshal was found concealed in a house where he had taken refuge after receiving a wound in the thigh from a splinter of a shell, and from which he subsequently died.\n\nOn the same day Garnier reported to Saigon the capture of the citadel, and asked for reinforcements, and issued a Proclamation to calm the minds of the people.\n\nIt would occupy too much space to detail the subsequent proceedings of Garnier, and it will be sufficient to say he sent M. Balny with 15 marines to Towli, a town on the branch of the Song Koi above Hanoi to direct the authorities to submit; and, as he passed Hungyen, the Mandarins came out and offered their submission. After passing Fowli, Balny went to Haidzong, an important citadel in the Thai-dinh River, which he carried by a coup de main on the 4th of December.\n\nOn the 1st December Garnier sent a steam-launch under command of M. Haute-feuille, with instructions to M. Balny, and to require the submission of the Governor of Nam-dinh and Minh-binh, the latter of which he attacked with seven men, and captured it, taking the Tedoc or General prisoner. Garnier himself left Hanoi on the 4th December in the \"Scorpion,\" with M. Esnez and about 70 men, in addition to the crew for Nam-dinh, capturing a fort that opened fire upon him en route, and the town itself on the 10th of December, and he issued a fourth Proclamation to pacify the people. Thus, within a period of a month, Hanoi, the capital, Hungyen, Haidzong, Nam-dinh, and Han-dinh, all important cities commanding the delta of the Song Koi or Red River, had been captured.\n\nBut, after this, came the reverse. With a handful of men he had overrun the neighbouring country, but it required more than a handful to hold it. Constant attacks were made on the several positions thus occupied, and great difficulty was experienced in repulsing them. A rumour, too, which proved true, was about that Annamite troops were coming from the southern provinces. Tuduc, the King of Annam, was greatly incensed at the loss of Hanoi, and gave orders to the Viceroy of the Province of Nguyen to march against the French, and he himself sent every available soldier from Hué. These orders were partly executed when he changed his mind, and wrote to Saigon, giving his Envoys full powers to sign a Treaty of Commerce, and sent two Envoys to Garnier with full powers, and M. Sohier as Interpreter.\n\nGarnier, in occupying the forts situated on the delta of the Song Koi, had evidently in view the keeping open his communication with the sea, but he had not secured his rear by the capture of the military city of Soutay, some thirty miles west of Hanoi, where resided the Tong Thong, Hoang Ke-vien by name. This officer had increased his army by troops recalled from the north, where they were fighting the so-called rebels, but in truth the Black and Yellow Flag Chinese factions on the frontier, who were at war with each other.\n\n231", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-176 - Public Offices & Others - 1876.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 299547, "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": "CO129-176 - Public Offices & Others - 1876", "page_number": 384, "title": "CO129-176 - Public Offices & Others - 1876", "content_text": "3126 of March 66\n\nThe answer Go\n\nIf the Farvegas General of the Colony\n\nThe foremost point is a cetz of this Raserli-\n\nsee page 1 of enclosures to his despatch of the\n\nis 5711\n\nUms the Colony is ready to give another Rifle range hereafter of continual house building makes it necessary\n\nstates that there would 378 be With L'anger to all the objections of the Commanding Royal Engineer will be found towards the\n\n1 the enclomas b 彼 65 and In Pics here the builtary anthontes aftame they wil's we; if the Colonel Fort Sachen altivation were to be 2 vin carley a 41\n\n5868 川 Gardiner 13 March 76 Euch (2 Rio) as danger to the Ponces f wat de In Mhly at all. for 20 the A4 road !

The presumption was that the sister had heard that all things were not straight, that these things were leaking out, and that the deceased thought the best thing was to come and take her sister away. However, whether that was the case or not, that was what the man thought. The man's own story was that he thought the sister had come to take away the woman with whom he was on intimate terms, as he supposed, to marry her to someone else. He had then, as he thought, two very grave causes of offence against the sister and no doubt he was very angry, because he thought he was going to lose both his mistress and the money he had paid her, and overnight they had had a quarrel. The learned counsel then, with the consent of the Attorney-General, put in the prisoner's statement before the coroner. He went on to argue that with regard to the assault on the child, the blows were inflicted accidentally in the struggle, the child's position or the back of the woman leading to this conclusion. Of course, he said, there was excuse for the use of a weapon of this kind: it was only a question between one crime and another, and he offered no excuse for the prisoner's having this chopper with him; but the prisoner must have supposed the woman would be armed with their grass-hooks. The man was proceeding under the opinion that Chun Amai was going away and leaving the place once for all, and having had a quarrel overnight, he went with his blood greatly heated, and under the impression they would have their hooks with them, he took this chopper. The grass-hook had not been found, but it did not appear that any special search had been made for it. The prisoner said he was struck, and as against the declaration of the woman, who on such very material points was capable of altering her story, he put it to them that they would be justified in accepting the man's story on that point as being as good as hers, and giving the prisoner the benefit of the doubt that must arise in their minds as to whether the woman had a hook or not. If she had a hook and struck the prisoner on the head, unjustifiable as having this chopper was on his part, there was sufficient provocation in point of law to reduce the crime to manslaughter. The chain of reasoning was simply this, that they could not accept the woman's story implicitly, and if they could not, the question was, where were they to draw the line? He thought, therefore, they might take the more merciful view of the case and suppose the prisoner was struck. But even if they could not do that, still there was this, that when the Chinese quarrel, they do use most awful language, and women of this kind are neither nice in the use of their tongues nor nice in the use of their hands, and bearing in mind that the man was an angry creditor—for creditor he considered himself to be—and considering the way the thing would occur, angry words leading to blows and fighting, they might hold that though the use of the chopper was unjustifiable, the prisoner acted under great provocation.\n\nNo witnesses were called for the defence. His Lordship, in summing up to the jury, laid down the distinction between murder and manslaughter, and, going on to review the evidence, said that Chun Amui admitted having been intimate with the prisoner. It was a very important fact that she should have varied in her testimony on this point, but he could make some allowance for her as he understood that Chinese of all classes attached a great deal of importance to the virtue of their widows. She had, however, contradicted herself and he would not advise them to place reliance on her testimony where it was questionable. Looking at the doctor's evidence, his Lordship said he did not think there could be a much more savage assault than that committed on the deceased. With regard to the wound inflicted on the child, the jury might in charity believe that it was accidental, but there could be little doubt the prisoner wilfully assaulted the woman Chua Amui. That, however, was the least serious charge against him. With regard to the woman killed, it was for the jury to say whether the wounds were inflicted by the prisoner and, if so, whether with malice express or implied. If he was struck and in a passion retaliated in this way, they might find a verdict of manslaughter, but if they believed he went out with this chopper to waylay the women, actuated by malice arising from something that had occurred before, they could not do so. Even though there was a chance of saving the woman's life had medical assistance been rendered immediately, that would not excuse the prisoner from the consequences of his acts provided he was actuated by malice. Whilst inviting the jury to give all the weight they could to the able speech of Mr. Hayllar, yet, he said, they must do their duty, and if the prisoner, actuated by malice, went out with this chopper, waylaid the women, and wounded them in the manner which led to the death of the deceased, they must find him guilty of murder.\n\nThe jury, after a few minutes' retirement, returned into Court with a verdict of wilful murder. A nolle prosequi was entered on the other counts.\n\nBeing asked if he had anything to say why sentence of death should not be passed upon him, the prisoner said that what he had stated before the coroner was true. He was a native of Nartow, and was brought by his mother twenty-five years ago to Shok O and settled there. Chun Amui, after the death of her husband, fell in love with him and begged him to take pity on the two children and he used to supply her with money for the support of the children. Her elder sister wished to take her away and when they were leaving the house to go somewhere, he followed and tried to stop them. The sister turned round and struck him on the forehead with a grass hook, and he did what he could in his defence.\n\nHis Lordship, having assumed the black cap, said everyone would have been glad if the circumstances of the case had been such that the jury could have had mercy on the prisoner and found him guilty of an offence which would not have cost him his life. The jury had done their duty; they could not have done less than find him guilty of wilful murder. He had no doubt that what the prisoner said was true, that he thought the woman who was dead was taking away Chun Amui from him, and full of anger and determined to stop them at all hazards, he took that chopper and went after them. There was no doubt he inflicted the wounds on the woman which caused her death and now the law said he must die. His Lordship then passed sentence of death in the usual form, and the prisoner was removed.\n\n## Page 377", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-181 - Governor Hennessy - 1878 [1-8].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 303792, "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": "CO129-184 - Governor Hennessy - 1879 [1-5]", "page_number": 384, "title": "CO129-184 - Governor Hennessy - 1879 [1-5]", "content_text": "## \n\nthe Schools in Classes for the purpose of giving special gratuities, those ranking first receiving a gratuity of monthly five dollars, those ranking second fifteen dollars.

He thought it could bear no other construction. The word \"trafficker\" might of course mean a person trafficking properly, but if it was intended to injure, it was a wonderfully skilfully selected word. He did not say it necessarily imported something more than fair traffic, because words were so large and varied in their meanings that they necessarily imported different things to different minds. The word trafficker might mean a fair trafficker, but we don't generally call people who deal fairly traffickers.

In flatly contradicted the Court; and than Summerville and Hawkins It was laid down decided that Mr Hayllar had a general right to reply; adding that Mr Hayllar need not address the Jury on the question of privileged communication, as he had made up his mind what he was to say to the Jury on that point. The libel must not only be false but be written, the writer knowing it to be false.\n\nMr Francis next quoted the case of Canfield v. Whitwell (18 Law Times, 627), in which case the plaintiff was nonsuited as no express malice was shown. In Cook v. Wise, Hart v. Gumpach and other cases into which the learned Counsel entered, the same rule was observed.\n\nHis Lordship, asking Mr Francis as to the sandbank Mr Pitman had raised for himself in the last clause of his letter,\n\nMR BAYLLAR REPLIES,\n\nMr Hayllar then replied. He maintained that the reason why they were there was that Mr Pitman had attacked his client in his professional character, the very points on which a man holding Mr Nelson's position was most sensitive—that particular opening where the thrust passed through the joints of the harness.\n\nMr Francis had very ably and ingeniously argued that his defence mainly rested on the fact that the letter was a privileged communication; but as His Lordship had already intimated that he had made up his mind on that point, he would merely make one or two observations suggested by the piece of evidence put in by the defendant's Counsel. Mr Nelson, at a public meeting of the Chamber of Commerce on 23rd February last, when the subject of discussion was the introduction of the Japanese yen as a coin, made some remarks, in which he referred to Mr Pitman in certain descriptive terms, Whether these terms might have been less scathing, less ambiguous, or less sarcastic, it was not for them to consider. The remarks were made by Mr Nelson in his public position upon a question which was fairly before the meeting, and which had a peculiar interest to his client as the manager of a Bank, it was of importance also to the Chamber, this introduction of a new coin; and the allusion was in reference to a memorial which had been presented to the Government by certain people, including some Chinese.\n\nMr Nelson was commenting upon that fact at this meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, and he put this consideration, whether the memorial alluded to expressed a genuine want whether it was forwarded in compliance with the wishes of certain people. This was a perfectly legitimate subject of comment and a very legitimate thing to do; while it really conveyed no charge of moral obliquity against Mr Pitman.\n\nTo say that the defendant was \"well known\" was not libellous; and to state that he was in the employ of the Japanese Government was, if true, an honourable circumstance, as the defendant would be a colleague of some of the first men who have come out to the East Mr Lay and many others.\n\nTo say, again, that defendant was more or less mixed up with the Opium Farm was no intimation of discredit one way or other; and to state that he was on intimate and friendly terms with the Governor surely implied no reproach.\n\nThis was said to be a gibe, but if they looked at it carefully, the jury would find that it was not so. Here was Mr Pitman, in the employ of the Japanese Government, who were the persons seeking to introduce the yen here; that made it important, and furnished a sound and proper reason for the comment.\n\nBesides, defendant being on intimate and friendly terms with the Governor would naturally give importance and weight to it any representation from an intimate friend must weigh with any human being, whether the Governor or other.\n\nThen, again, there was the charge brought by Mr Pitman against Mr Nelson was altogether different from that brought by Mr Nelson, in that it involved the greatest moral obliquity.\n\nNo doubt that part of the letter about Mr Nelson's public conduct, had it gone home, would have been regarded as so much rhetorical fustian; but that containing the private attacks the Directors would have been bound to notice, involving as they did high moral obliquity on the part of Mr Nelson as a servant of the Bank, and giving him, as they did, the worst character as a servant that could possibly be given.\n\nAs to closing the mouth of the defendant, he admitted that in a general sense this was to a certain extent true.\n\nBut the value of the argument depended on the nature of the charge made. Those charges which rested entirely upon the evidence of others, how could Mr Pitman prove? Regarding the inquiry as to the transaction in Mr Fleaton's case, which was nothing more than hearsay, there was the highest probability that Mr Pitman could know nothing.\n\nWhether defendant's mouth was closed or not, was of no importance, as Mr Pitman in any case could have said nothing about it.\n\nAs to Mr Nelson being often so with public men, though it did not make the comment the less fair—the result depended on the idiosyncrasy of the man thus bit.\n\nBy way of defence or self-vindication, however, defendant need not have sent a letter that was not likely to be published.\n\nThere were two obvious courses which he might have adopted—first, a letter to the Chamber of Commerce, calling attention to the words and denying the false assertion; or clearing himself by writing to the newspapers, the subject having gone before the public.\n\nDefendant, however, sends not a public but a private letter, thus indicating clearly that he intended it as a counter-attack, containing as it did many serious charges.\n\nMr Hayllar said he would be able to deal with them he thought very satisfactorily to-morrow morning.\n\nSome discussion arose as to the right of Mr Hayllar to reply.\n\nThe Judge held he had the right to reply as the defence had put in evidence, and on the authorities cited.\n\nCourt adjourned till 10 a.m. to-morrow.\n\n( 43 ) \n\nMr Hayllar then said that the again,\n\nHis Lordship's intimation on the point of privilege took away the necessity of his going further.\n\nHis learned friend had most properly (in-deed he could not quarrel with Mr Francis' course of defence, though one or two things, say perhaps that about the China Mail, had better have been left unsaid)—alleged that by taking criminal proceedings the prosecutor had done two things, viz, he had shown a vindictive spirit, and he had closed the defendant's mouth.\n\nNow one was not generally supposed, when one has lost any piece of property or an attempt has been made to carry it away, to be vindictive when he called in the services of the law; and yet nothing so dear or so valuable to a man as his character.\n\nThe charge brought by Mr Pitman against Mr Nelson was the charge of having got up the memorial, which might have a great variety of meanings.\n\nIt did not say that the signatures were false and spurious; but a man might possess that power of argument and fascination to induce others to sign such a memorial, and if so, it was all the better that was a perfectly legitimate thing to do in politics, to any one interested in such a matter, to get up a memorial on the subject.\n\nRead calmly, therefore, it would be seen that the speech of Mr Nelson did not call forth the denunciation of the defendant, and a consideration of what was really said would not, if left to Mr Pitman's better judgment, have elicited such anger as was embodied in the letter.\n\nMr Nelson was opposed to the scheme of the yen; and he hit at the spontaneity of the memorial, which was the real object aimed at.\n\nIt was due not only to Mr Nelson but to Mr Pitman to put it thus to the Jury, for no man wished to stand forward as making a wanton attack on any one—that was not desirable.\n\nIf the Jury would look at this communication of Mr Nelson's in this fair way of reading now put, even then it no doubt wounded and rankled; but this was as with public men, though it did not make the comment the less fair.\n\nAs to Mr Nelson being \"a regular trafficker in shares,\" Mr Pitman was neither a sharebroker nor a banker, and he could therefore have had to depend upon the evidence of others to show, by an analysis of Mr Nelson's conduct over a long period of time, and a great variety of transactions, that the prosecutor was such a man.\n\nMr Francis said that was consistent with, but did not prove express malice.\n\nThe circumstances were equally consistent with malice and its absence.\n\nUnless there was a substantial and preponderating balance of evidence of express malice, it was laid down that his Lordship withdraw the case from the jury and direct them to return a verdict of not guilty.\n\nHe referred to several cases in which the writers were volunteers more or less, including Davis and Sneed, and Coxett and Richards, in which latter the mate of a ship wrote to a friend stating that the captain was given to drinking.\n\nThis friend was only slightly acquainted with the owner of the ship, but informed him of the contents of the letter and it was held it was a privileged occasion.\n\nHe left the case in his Lordship's hands, asking that it be not sent to the jury, as there was no evidence of express malice.\n\nIt was now six o'clock, and his Lordship called Mr Hayllar's attention to the pile of books around him.\n\nMr Hayllar said he would be able to deal with them he thought very satisfactorily to-morrow morning.\n\n418", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-192 - Governor Hennessy - 1881 [1-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 308437, "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": "CO129-192 - Governor Hennessy - 1881 [1-4]", "page_number": 427, "title": "CO129-192 - Governor Hennessy - 1881 [1-4]", "content_text": "44)\n\ntrafficker as the letter described him to be. Mr Nelson in the opinion of his employers. As to this alleged trafficking interfering with Mr Nelson's functions as a banker, that was a mere matter of inference; and in view of the specific charges to be substantiated, therefore, the argument that the defendant's mouth had been closed fell to the ground. There was one piece of evidence of some importance to which he had not objected. Defendant's Counsel had asked Mr Nelson whether he was a dealer in those objectionable forms of shares known as time bargains, and Mr Nelson had replied that he never had had one such, and had never had anything to do with a time transaction which depended upon a margin to be paid or received. When the prosecution had brought out such a piece of evidence, brought out by Mr Francis for the defence, nothing could be more calculated to show the extreme recklessness of the charges made. He (Mr Hayllar) had already said that when a libel was defamatory because the writer had not taken the trouble to inquire whether it was false or true, the writer of such a libel committed a very grave offence; and the gravity of this charge was sufficient exoneration for his client for having vindicated his position by a criminal prosecution. They were all exceedingly indebted to His Lordship for shortening the proceedings and saving them from going over the ground as to privileged communication. He hoped that the Jury would come to a right and righteous decision.\n\nTHE CHIEF JUSTICE SUMS UP.\n\nplaint before you.\" What are \"the circumstances\" to which alone he refers, I can only answer the impudent public attack upon himself, Mr Pitman. I therefore impute to Mr Pitman that in his mind anger induced the letter, anger—furor brevis—a strong passion excited by a real or supposed injury.\n\nThe Chief Justice, addressing himself first to the question of privileged communication, said there was no ground on which Mr Pitman's letter can be treated as a privileged or protected communication. The letter is therefore open on general grounds for you, gentlemen of the Jury, in your judgment to decide whether it is or is not libellous like any other publication written or printed. I do not, as I shall presently show, approve of Mr Nelson's attack on Mr Pitman, but for the excuse of his anger I still less approve of Mr Pitman's attack, in the dark; for anything Mr Pitman knew, Mr Jackson might have entered on his investigation with a mind poisoned against Mr Nelson unknown to Mr Nelson, by this letter, and every explanation of the Bank transactions might have been coloured by the secret suggestions in the letter. Mr Jackson, in handing the letter to Mr Nelson did what was manly and right. I think Mr Pitman would have shown greater magnanimity if his anger had allowed him to send to Mr Nelson a copy of his letter to Mr Jackson; as he did not in his anger, think fit to do so, it is for you, gentlemen of the Jury, to declare the letter libel or no libel on the evidence before you. Having thus disposed of the question for my decision after able arguments and a reference to a library of cases, I now proceed to present the case on its general aspects to you, gentlemen of the Jury.\n\nMr Francis put it that he had contended that all the acts alleged of Mr Nelson were done in his public capacity, and it was pregnant with the insinuation that something would come out of it not creditable to Mr Nelson. That was a charge which it would be for the Jury to say was or was not libellous. They would put themselves in the place of Mr Nelson, as if they were the servants of a Company, and say whether the tendency of the statement was or was not to damage Mr N.'s position as a servant.\n\n(45)\n\nMr Nelson was the agent of the Directors in London, and it was made against him as a servant of that Board, because he was such servant. Francis had ingeniously put it that this was stated because Mr Nelson held a public position; but that was of course subject to the opinion of the Jury on the point. When it was alleged that this was done when Mr Bleston was on the \"eve of his embarrassment,\" that seemed reasonably to point to the suggestion that damage had been done to the general body of creditors; but it was for the Jury to say whether or not this suggestion was pregnant with that insinuation.\n\nHis Lordship reminded the Jury that this was so, and then proceeded to analyse and comment upon the letter. The reason given for writing the letter was, in a word, Mr Pitman's anger. Regarding Mr Nelson as a partizan, the defendant came forward to vindicate the Government, seeing that the Government was not able to vindicate itself, from the attack in the Chamber. In His Lordship's opinion, the Government of this Colony did not require any vindication from any private individual, and was quite able to take care of itself, but evidently Mr Pitman did not think that this was so.\n\nMr Hayllar, in that suave manner of which he was master, had endeavoured to show to the Jury that Mr Nelson's speech was perfectly polite language, and that Mr Pitman ought not to have got into a passion over it. The Jury might be perhaps inclined to acceptance of these bland terms; but they would read the speech itself and judge of its nature for themselves. Some people were very thin-skinned and could not bear the least breath of censure, while others could bear anything, however coarse or fine; but Mr Pitman, who did not seem to be made for much public warfare, felt this very painfully.\n\nMr Hayllar had done very wisely in confining the question to the real question at issue; and the Jury would therefore not be asked to pronounce upon the statement in the second paragraph that Mr Pitman was on friendly terms with the Government. The third paragraph required the careful consideration of the Jury, and would probably receive all the care as Mr Hayllar had disentangled it from the two first parts.\n\nThe inquiry suggested regarding transactions with Mr Heaton implied that Mr Nelson, in his capacity as Bank Manager, had done something which required to be inquired into, that was for the Jury to answer. \"I learn from Chinese sources that the memorial which was presented the other day was got up by a gentleman rather well known in the Colony,\" He read sarcasm in the word \"rather.\" \"Who is in the employ of the Japanese Government\"—what is that? It may or it may not be to defendant's credit. \"Who is more or less mixed up with the Opium Farm:\" some regard the Opium Farm as tolerable, and some that it is not tolerable and that anyone who touches it soils his fingers. Is that a gibe? Was it to his credit or not? And the point raised, whether Mr Nelson was \"able to devote his undivided attention to the interests of the Bank,\" was also for the Jury to construe. A trafficker was different from a trader in that a trader might invest his money for years in shares and other concerns; while a trafficker—the word \"traffic,\" as street traffic, had a busy signification—would frequently buy and frequently sell, and had a special significance in view of the past experience in this Colony.\n\nThe defendant had pleaded not guilty; and (His Lordship continued) as the letter itself showed the grievous wrong under which the defendant suffered—which, in fact was referred to in the letter from beginning to end—he would look at the Chamber of Commerce report. The Chamber was the most important body in the Colony, and had deservedly great influence both here and at Home.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-192 - Governor Hennessy - 1881 [1-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 308440, "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": "CO129-192 - Governor Hennessy - 1881 [1-4]", "page_number": 430, "title": "CO129-192 - Governor Hennessy - 1881 [1-4]", "content_text": "(50)\n\n\"the worse appear the better cause,\" he asserted the right of the press to criticise in the most open manner the acts of every man who enters upon public life. What Mr Pitman did, however, was something very different from an assertion of his individual right to do this. By way of revenging a severe but fair public hit, honestly and straightforwardly dealt at him in a public meeting, and published the following day, the defendant in this case, after five weeks' deliberation, skilfully gives his opponent a stab in the dark which might have proved the social and commercial ruin of Mr Nelson. This is how the Jury have unanimously interpreted the charges brought against Mr Pitman; and as this sort of retaliation cuts at the very roots of social life, the verdict of the Jury must meet with the fullest approval of all respectable men.\n\nThe matter becomes even more important when it is borne in mind that one of the most prominent reasons given for the \"false, scandalous and malicious\" attack made by Mr Pitman upon Mr Nelson is, that the latter had \"long carried on a bitter, active and ceaseless opposition to the Governor of the Colony.\" While studiously avoiding any discussion as to whether Mr Pitman is a properly constituted or appropriate vindicator of the Governor, the vast importance of the partial developments in this case can scarcely be overrated.\n\nTo differ on political or public questions with Sir John Hennessy would seem to be, in the eyes of some, an offence which ought to be visited with the direst consequences; but it must be subject to regret that, in this case at least, Mr Pitman did not keep his keen blade quietly in its sheath rather than by its friendly thrust to have so paraded and endangered valued friendship of fifteen years' standing.\n\nThe language used by Mr Hayllar, Q.C., in his admirably temperate address on this point, is well worthy of attention. He said \"It seemed to him to be an excessively grave question which he now laid before them, and one of very grave importance in a Colony like this, whether any man is to take part in public life according to his solemn convictions, whatever they might be, at the risk of his public character being assailed.\"\n\nTo descend to a comparatively small matter, it would have been better—as Mr Hayllar said in his speech—had Mr Francis left his remarks about the China Mail unsaid. The case, as Mr Francis himself admits, possesses historical importance—past, present and future; and that being so, while the utterances of Mr Francis and others will thus go down to future generations in these columns, we fail to see the ground of complaint of the learned Counsel for the defendant.\n\n(Daily Press, June 10.)\n\n(51)\n\nThe verdict of the jury in the Pitman libel case surprised no one; the sentence inflicted by the Chief Justice caused some astonishment. It was confidently anticipated that a fine of five hundred dollars and a short term of imprisonment would have been the inevitable corollary of a verdict against the defendant.\n\nNot so thought the Chief Justice, who apparently considered that the defendant had received material provocation in Mr Nelson's remarks on him at the Chamber of Commerce at the last annual meeting. Granting that the words then used by Mr Nelson produced an exasperating effect on Mr Pitman, we would respectfully submit that they were openly said, with a full knowledge that they would reach the party concerned, and they were not calculated to injure the private character of, or to interfere with the pursuit of his profession by, Mr Pitman.\n\nThe letter of the latter gentleman, on the contrary, was addressed to a gentleman who might have been inimical to Mr Nelson, and who instead of showing it to him might have forwarded it straight to the directors of the Bank, without giving him a hearing or any opportunity for explanation. It was really, though we trust the defendant did not mean it as such, a stab in the dark.\n\nMr Nelson was necessarily thrown upon his defence. He had no option. He was compelled to take some steps to clear his reputation, and he chose to institute criminal proceedings in preference to bringing an action for damages.\n\nThe defendant has, it must be remembered, been put to heavy expenses for legal costs, and has lost much time in appearing at the Court, to say nothing of the anxiety which he must have felt during the last few weeks. Moreover, he has been found guilty by a jury of publishing a false and malicious libel, for which he has to pay the penalty.\n\nMr Nelson, on the other hand, has cleared himself of a damaging imputation and set himself right with his directors and the public. Perhaps the most salutary effect of this cause célèbre, however, will be to once more remind the public that letters written incautiously or in anger with the attempt to undermine a man with his employers are apt to recoil on the head of their author.\n\nHe cannot fail to regret his action.\n\n422", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-192 - Governor Hennessy - 1881 [1-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 309028, "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": "CO129-193 - Governor Hennessy - 1881 [5-7]", "page_number": 368, "title": "CO129-193 - Governor Hennessy - 1881 [5-7]", "content_text": "achisis of the criterion of an alader.

He was told he was out, but Hsi-chen waited his return, till at last he left his card and left a message for Bee Ya-nei. Ya-nei said, \"I must come to my adopted father's house, when I will bring wine and food.\" Hai-chen declined and returned, and then giving the horse-boy some money, said, \"I want to buy a good horse, but it is difficult to meet with one; you know where there is one?\" The boy said, \"I heard them say to-day that by the North bridge Chen died, he had a capital chestnut horse, called the 'Clothed with thunder,' but his widow being without means to pay his funeral expenses says she wants to sell it. I too have seen it, and it is a rare good one.\" Hai-chen, much startled, said, \"Is it not Chen Ying?\" \"It is him,\" said the boy. Hai-chen sighed and said, \"I know well enough, he was a very fine fellow, skilled in the military art, and not very old, but his family was poor and his wife weak; well, he is dead then. But whether his horse was a good one, I don't know: am I to buy it now or not?\" The horse-boy said, \"I don't know.\" Hsi-chen said, \"You wait a bit till I can go with you.\"\n\nHsi-chen quickly went inside and called out Li-ching to fetch some silver which he put in his breast. He then told the boy to show him the way, and soon arrived at Ying's house near the North bridge; there were only some bare rooms, and all he heard was the wife of Ying crying in solitude inside. Ch'en entered and called to her. The woman dried her eyes and clasping her child to her breast came out and seeing him asked, \"Sir, where are you from, with whom do you want to speak?\" Hsi said, \"My humble name is Ch'en, I am from Great East street; I have well known my elder brother Chen, how is it he is no more?\" The woman said, \"It is most pitiable; why do you, Sir, come to my lonesome dwelling?\" Hsi said, \"I have heard my elder brother had a riding horse, you want to sell; is this so?\" She said, \"Yes.\" Hai-chen said, \"Is he sold yet?\" She said, \"Two days before my late husband's death, he put out a notice, but no buyer has come; some came to look but did not see him, saying the horse was not worth much, and I in anger then had him tied up behind; don't tell anyone I want to sell him.\"\n\nHsi said, \"Your servant really wants to buy and is willing to pay the price, may I not see him?\" She said, \"Come and look at him behind the house.\" The boy was told to wait outside, and Hsi went in with the woman to look; on seeing the horse, he was startled, he only saw he was tied to his manger and with his head down nibbling his hoof. He began to feel his body all over. He then asked why he had been starved till he was so thin. She said, \"When my husband was alive, although he much liked the horse, yet he then could not give him a good feed, and when he got so ill, how could I attend him; hence he has fallen away so.\" Hsi then looked at his mouth. \"How much do you want for him?\" She said, \"I won't deceive you, but the price must suit me, for I am a quiet person and will tell you the truth; when my husband was so ill, he never said anything about the money; all he said was, if one knowing a horse buys him, you must sell him cheaply, but if no one recognises his worth, you must starve him and give him no fodder.\" \n\nA few days ago, someone advised me to sell him for food, when I could get five to seven taels for him, whereupon I sent him off pretty quickly. At present, you, Sir, want to buy him; it is for you, therefore, to say.\" Hsi-chen said, \"You must not be offended at me.\" \"Why should I?\" said she. Hsi-chen, seeing the beast suited him exactly, whispered, \"What do you say to one hundred taels of good silver?\" The woman was startled, \"Is it worth so much?\" she thought, so she tried for a little more and said, \"One hundred taels is rather cheap; please raise the figure a little.\" Hsi-chen said, \"One hundred and twenty taels.\" The woman thought to herself, \"If I don't sell now, he may break off the bargain,\" so she asked, \"What do you want to buy this horse for, Sir?\" \n\n\"I won't deceive you, Ma'am, but I have a Lieutenant in the South camp, he wants to find a horse to suit him, but hearing you had this excellent beast, I am come to purchase him.\" The woman, hearing this, said, \"Well then, you can take him, but I must have good silver.\" Hsi-chen quickly went to a shop opposite and got the silver, 120 taels, and brought and handed it over; he then called the horse-boy to come in to lead the horse out; the woman, having got her money and seeing the horse was being led away, began to think of times when her husband was alive, and was unable to prevent the tears running down her cheeks. Old Hsi-chen was very uncomfortable; but the woman said, \"There is also a saddle, &c., belonging to the horse, won't you buy them too?\" Hsi-chen went to look at them and saw they were torn, and declined them, but told the woman he did not want to annoy her and offered to give more money. He then gave her ten taels in addition; she would not take it and said, \"Your slave is grieved at looking at the things, I am not concerned about the amount of the silver.\" \n\nHsi-chen said, \"I give this to you for Chen's sake, to buy some paper money and offerings for him to put on his grave.\" She then took the ten taels, and told his horse-boy to go and fetch the above and to keep the change. The woman said, \"I will give you the saddle, &c.\" Hsi-chen said, \"I have such at home.\" He then bowed and took his leave; the woman, clasping her child, wished him much happiness and said, \"Sir, sir, a day will come when I shall be able to recompense you.\" Hsi-chen told the boy to lead the horse and follow him. The neighbours, seeing what had been done, would hardly believe it. \"This man is crochety,\" they said, \"to throw away thus one hundred and fifty taels for such a beast; why, horseflesh is only worth fifteen or sixteen taels in the market; the male of Wang's, the corn-grinder, was bought for sixteen taels, and that beast was much stronger than this horse.\" \n\nThe women, in the meanwhile, asked her relations to assist her, and with this money, completed her husband's funeral. Hsi-chen, in the meanwhile, went off with his horse and, turning a corner, looked out for a tea-house, at the door of which he tied up the beast; he then told the boy to go off, as he would lead the animal himself, \"and don't you go and trouble the widow any further.\" The boy then ran off in great delight to his own home. Ch'en took a cup of tea and took a good look at his horse, and then got up and led him off, and after going a little way, turned his head to look. On reaching home, he stopped at the door and then led the horse to the back, where he tied him up to a pillar of the verandah. \n\nHe then called out \"Ching, my child, I have bought that horse.\" Li-ch'ing, on hearing this upstairs, flew down the stairs and hurriedly asked, \"Papa, dear, where is the horse?\" and then, smiling with joy, she came down, and on seeing it, was very much pleased. \"How much silver did you give for him, Papa?\" Hsi-chen said, \"The exact price was one hundred and twenty ounces, but I added thirty more, making a total of one hundred and fifty ounces.\" Li-ch'ing said, \"Cheap, very cheap.\" Hsi-chen said, \"Well, it is not very dear, is it?\" Li-ch'ing said, \"No, no, the Szechuan horse was one hundred ounces, and he, though a good horse, could not compare to this one.\" \"But how old is he?\" Hsi-chen said, \"I have looked, he is about eight years old;\" he then laughed and said, \"he seems to suit you very well; I will go then to the archery ground behind and let him out in order to try your riding powers.\" \n\nLi-ch'ing shook her hand and said, \"He must not be ridden now, he is much too thin; if he is forced to be ridden, he will be damaged; he is not now as good as that Szechuan horse; he must be fed up well and then, after ten days or so, led out a bit, then your child can mount him and go out for a look at him, Papa.\" Hsi-chen laughed and said, \"Why, you would make a capital groom; but it is late; I will lead him to the stables and give him some food.\"", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-202 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1882 [7-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 317916, "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": "CO129-202 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1882 [7-9]", "page_number": 167, "title": "CO129-202 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1882 [7-9]", "content_text": "## THE CHINA REVIEW.\n\n...a good feed; now that I have such means of carriage I am fairly independent.” With the surplus of his money, he then gave it to Li-ching to keep, and led away the horse and fed him. On coming back, the servant said, \"Kao Ya-nei has come to pay his respects,\" and hardly had he spoken when Ya-nei came in with Kao Chin's card, saying, \"My father could not come himself, owing to pressing public affairs in connection with a military expedition projected against Liang-po-shan, and so he has asked his son to come instead.\" Hsi-chen said, \"What are your principles in thus troubling Ya-nei; come and sit inside.\" He then said, \"Ching, my child, your brother is come.\" Li-ch'ing from upstairs answered, and after a bit came slowly in. Hsi-chen put on wine and food and instructed his daughter to entertain him. Whilst conversation was going on, Ya-nei, seeing the room was very neat and elegant, began to praise it, when he saw hanging from the wall a two-edged sword, whereupon he asked, \"Is this the property of my illustrious sister?\" Hsi-chen said, \"Yes.\" Ya-nei wished to look at it. Hsi-chen went to fetch it and put it on the table to be looked at. The handle was bound round with silk; on it were inlaid two ruddy gold letters \"Chong Shun\"; from the handle hung a butterfly fringe; there were two points of the yellow-twisted beard from the mouth of a lion on the scabbard, which was covered with scales of the whale fish painted like flowers, and on the mouth were two heads of dragons; on the outside were fourteen characters also inlaid with ruddy gold; they were: \"like the autumn waters for clearness, with an edge that chills with affright; white as the Pi-yu bird's flesh, the rainbow gleams flash out from a body fair as the water lily.\" Hsi-chen then drew the sword out a little and gave it to Ya-nei to look at.\n\nYa-nei got a chill of fright from the cold steel, and it was blown out round his face till his hair stood on end; looking at it, he saw it was four fingers broad from the edge, and one finger broad at the back; it was as clear as a mirror and from the distance looked like a stream of water, and it reflected a man's face quite distinctly. With the handle, it weighed seven catties four ounces. It was four feet two inches long. Ya-nei said, \"My adopted father, where did you buy this sword?\" Hsi-chen said, \"Buy it, indeed! This has come down to me from an ancestor; it can cut iron and copper like so much wood; my ancestor was a follower of Emperor Chin-tsung in his attack on the Tan yuan, who took him to the frontiers where he slew a number of men with it. After this, the sword came to the house; it did nothing but rain and sounds proceeded from the sword; when the old fellow was young, he had heard an ascendant say that when that sword used to hang up for many years, one often by lamp-light saw likeness in it of men standing up, but on looking closer, nothing could be seen; when that grumbling sound was heard, it often leapt up from the scabbard; this year, I think those dead spirits will gradually disperse and the figures of men will not be seen. When my silly daughter regards this like her life and puts it to bed with her when she sleeps. Now the scabbard being somewhat hurt, she has just repaired it and therefore hung it up here.\" Ya-nei said, \"As this is so precious to you, sister, I think you can brandish it; will you try?\" Li-ch'ing laughed and said, \"A sword is a thing to kill men with; there is nothing pleasant in it.\" Ya-nei said, \"My good sister, you don't want me to be hit.\" Hsi-chen said, \"What is your brother saying, my child? Brandish the sword a bit.\" Li-ch'ing, not able to resist this pressing, rose up, rolled up her sleeves, drew out the sword, and went down the steps and cleared a space. Kao Ya-nei opened his eyes and saw Li-ch'ing, and he shouted with all his might in her praise. Li-ch'ing, having done some sword play, put the sword into its sheath again; Ya-nei let down her sleeves and sat down.\n\nHsi-chen said, \"Well, you play well.\" Ya-nei laughed and said, \"Ya-nei, you are blind.\"\n\n## THE TANG HOU CHI.\n\nSome more wine was then drunk, and Hsi-chen then again took Ya-nei into the back of the house, where were artificial hills, lakes, stones, flowers, and trees, and led him about there by the hand. When it was late, Ya-nei took his leave and went home. There is no need to weary the reader, but after this, Ya-nei came every day to Hsi-chen's house, and often brought clothes, delicacies, and wine as presents, whilst Hsi-chen served to him wine, etc. When Ya-nei did come, Hsi-chen never told his daughter to avoid him, and so Li-ch'ing plucked up her spirits and he treated her and she him like brother and sister. They talked about trivial matters, but nothing serious was said. Ya-nei, on seeing the cheeks of Li-ch'ing so tender that a breath would injure them, was furious that he could not devour her, as her old father would come bothering in between them; once he indulged in loose talk, and Hsi-chen, seeing the colour on his daughter's cheeks, turned off the matter by some light remarks. Li-ch'ing too remembered her father's commands and kept down her anger. Ya-nei now only thought of hurrying on San and Heuch to propose marriage, but they exhorted him to restrain himself a bit for eight or nine days. Hsi-chen said to his daughter, \"My services are more than half rubbed off, and as long as that animal does not come to propose marriage, it will be all right. Everything will be ready in a few days, and then we can go in to the old lady's.\" Li-ch'ing said, \"Your child wishes much to go away very soon; I cannot endure this much longer.\" Hsi-chen said, \"My good daughter, after a day or two, you must decline to see him from sickness, and so avoid him.\" Ya-nei then came again, and Hsi-chen ushered him in. Ya-nei brought a piece of green jade and a pearl and said, \"I present to my illustrious sister some marriage presents.\" Hsi-chen said, \"Why should you go to such an expense?\" and told Li-ch'ing to take it and thank Ya-nei. He said, \"Why should a sister thank her own brother!\" The whole party then laughed and talked, and wine was drunk till Ya-nei was half drunk, when the servant came in and said, \"Mr. Chang has come to take leave and wishes to see you, Sir; he is now in the front room.\" Hsi-chen said, \"All right, you mind your business; I will come directly.\" Hsi-chen put on his Taoist robe and said, \"You two drink your wine—a guest calls me.\" He also told the nurse to attend on them carefully and not to go away, and he himself went off. Ya-nei, seeing the old boy was really gone, grew very courageous and grinning began to stare at Li-ch'ing. She could not endure his gaze and smiling bent down her head. Ya-nei, seeing the smile, could not contain himself for delight; he felt enervated all over, and his lewd courage became vast. He tried then to hook his foot round that of Li-ch'ing, but the eight fairy table was too broad, and Li-ch'ing's two feet were coiled round her chair so that he could not reach them. Ya-nei then cried out, \"Sister, let us go and amuse ourselves in the artificial grotto behind.\" Li-ch'ing said, \"No, it would be improper; but you can go yourself, brother, as you know it well enough.\" Ya-nei said, \"I have heard your archery ground is an excellent one, but I have not yet seen it; won't you take me there?\" Li-ch'ing said, \"We must wait till Papa returns.\"\n\nYa-nei, seeing she would not move, asked the nurse to warm some of this wine; the nurse, lifting the wine-pot, said, \"It is hot enough still; why should I warm it?\" Ya-nei said, \"Sister, your wine is cold; I will change with you,\" and he took the cup holding the remains of her wine and drank it all off.* He then took the pot from the nurse's hand and poured out a cup full; he himself tasted, and then handed it with both hands to Li-ch'ing, saying, \"Sister, taste your brother's warm wine.\" Li-ch'ing could sit still no longer, being thus incited by him again in this way, and not being able to hear it, stood up, the blood surging up all round her ears and face.\n\n* A most improper proceeding in company with a lady.\n\nPage 42\nPage 43", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-202 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1882 [7-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 320086, "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": "CO129-206 - Public Offices & Others - 1882", "page_number": 50, "title": "CO129-206 - Public Offices & Others - 1882", "content_text": "## Sir Thomas Wade's telegram.\n\nI enclose two additional copies of the map shewing the existing Telegraphic Lines to China: together with a telegram we would desire your Lordship to have forwarded to Sir Thomas Wade.\n\nI have the honor to be, My Lord, Your obedient servant (signed) John Ander, Chairman.\n\nOffice or Individual, Hongkong\n\nNo 6948\n\n**(Subject.)**\n\n**DOMESTIC.**\n\nC.

He also showed that of the Chinese, was sufficient to make out where malice was implied, and in this case the case.\n\nThe Crown Advocate pointed out that argued that the prisoner evidently had feeling the Chinese witnesses saw the matter before the rankling in his mind against the Chinese, as his European witnesses, and that, be argued, did away house had been broken into and robbed. There with the apparent contradiction between a pistol was probably more trouble in the street than the and a carbine, and Strom also had given evidence Chinese had stated--they would not be likely to to seeing what appeared to be a carbine in the give that much prominence, but the prisoner had first instance. As to what had been said about not fired in the heat of the moment when he was the difference between the evidence given by the attacked, but he followed them up and fired at Chinese and their depositions taken before the them deliberately as they were running away. Consul, he would point out that no counsel were then engaged on either side, and the prisoner, very reasonably, did not cross-examine They had it in evidence that Johnson was struck there were many things they did not then depose to which by a stone, but the prisoner was not, and so there was nothing to show that he was in danger. He submitted that even firing over the heads of the Chinese in the street was not justifiable at all, and firing into a crowd without the intention of killing any particular person was held to be murder. Though Mr. Wise had contended that firing in the air in the street was no offence against law, he submitted that he was in the same position as furious driving, against which there was no law other than municipal regulations; but anyone causing the death of another person by such means was guilty either of murder or manslaughter, according to the circumstances. In this case the prisoner had fired deliberately when the crowd was running away, and to cause death under such circumstances was for revenge, not self-defence; and if he had had time to cool down, that was not manslaughter but murder. The Crown Advocate went over the evidence very fully, commenting on it, and pointing out the bearings of different parts on his contention.\n\nHis Lordship then summed up to the jury, observing that the case had been gone into very fully, and the various points in it so well put before them by the counsel on either side that his work in summing up to them had been considerably lightened. They had now to enter upon the consideration of the case, to exert their best faculties in dealing with the evidence in the case, and to do their duty in administering justice. His duty now was to go over the evidence with them, to comment upon it, and to give them every assistance in his power in arriving at a conclusion. The issues for them to try were narrow, although they were most important. The first question for the jury to decide was whether the shot by which the boy was killed was fired by the prisoner or not. It thought the evidence called for the prosecution had not clearly made that out, or that the theory of the defence with regard to it was the more likely, then they would have to find a verdict of acquittal. He now proposed to go over the evidence in sections, commenting upon it as he went, and pointing out the conclusions to be drawn from it.\n\nREGINA v. LOGAN.\n\n1\n\nforeign witnesses, and he would take them in such was the case, whether the act was justifiable homicide or manslaughter or murder.\n\nHis Lordship did not think it was necessary to trouble the jury at any length with the question of self-defence as there was no evidence whatever that the prisoner was on his defence. If the prisoner had been defending himself that would be another matter. He did not think the evidence before them showed such to have been the case; and as to provocation, no provocation would justify any man to kill another. If the provocation had been grievous, such as to excite one to anger and indignation and make him forget himself for a moment, that could probably reduce the crime from murder to manslaughter. In considering this point they must look at the weapon with which death was inflicted. In this case there was no doubt that the instrument used was a deadly weapon, and in considering whether there was provocation sufficient to reduce the offence from murder to manslaughter, they must find Johnson's considerable provocation to do so.\n\nHis Lordship then went over the whole of the Chinese witnesses; and having done so, he remarked that it appeared consistent on the whole, but, as they had seen, evidence appeared to bear two ways, both for the prosecution and for the defence. His statement that Neilsen was wearing a dark suit told strongly against the theory of the defence--that Neilsen might have been mistaken for the prisoner, and it was also clear from his evidence that a shot had been fired by the prisoner himself, fire, and it was for the jury to consider what weight was to be attached to that. Two of them had also given evidence as to the kind of weapon used. His Lordship went on to read the evidence of the foreign witnesses, and then went briefly over the points which had been raised by the counsel for the prosecution and the defence. Very few questions of law were involved in the matter, and it was for the jury to deal with questions of fact. Still there were presumptions of law which they would have to bear in mind, and these had been correctly laid down by the counsel on both sides. They had first to decide upon the evidence whether the fatal shot was fired by the prisoner or not, and if they decided it was, beyond any reasonable doubt, they would have to bear in mind the presumption of malice unless the contrary was shown. Of course, if they had a doubt they must give the prisoner the benefit of it, but it must be a reasonable doubt, and if the evidence for the prosecution was such as to convince their minds, they must find accordingly. If they decided against the prisoner on that point, they must consider the next, that of justification; though he might first point out to them as to the question of a revolver or a carbine being used, it was immaterial which it was so long as they were satisfied the prisoner caused the death of the boy.\n\nThe jury then retired to consider their verdict, and after an absence of just under half an hour they returned to court, when in answer to the usual question from the clerk of the Court\n\nThe foreman said--We find the prisoner guilty of manslaughter.\n\nThe Clerk--Is this the verdict of you all?\n\nThe foreman--Yes.\n\nThe prisoner had throughout maintained an unaltered composure, and when asked whether he had anything to say why sentence should not be passed upon him, he said quietly--\"I have nothing.\"\n\nPage 33\n\nHis Lordship said--James Henry Logan, you have been found, after a long and patient investigation, guilty of this very serious crime, and you may congratulate yourself upon having escaped being found guilty of a still more serious one.\n\nPage 30", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-212 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1883 [10-11].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 324473, "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": "CO129-214 - Public Offices & Others - 1883", "page_number": 505, "title": "CO129-214 - Public Offices & Others - 1883", "content_text": "Governors in Levice, who anover Swen the Pron would a fully the Description sur letter, 50 are ecturned. who are ander year of age and afe reewing Jour a Lein salary sufficiently here offered to sender it brotable than they might desire the appointment Lave Lan offered it hus hase all Vechined Your in Bhil Books 501 m thedient Lewant.; A I Riddell\n\nAfter re-examining the text and applying the given rules:\n\nGovernors in Levice, who answer Swen the Pron would a fully the Description sur letter, 50 are returned. who are under year of age and are reewing Jour a Lein salary sufficiently here offered to sender it profitable than they might desire the appointment Leave Lan offered it hus hase all Declined Your in Bhil Books 501 m obedient Lewant.; A I Riddell\n\nFurther correction:\nGovernors in Levice, who answer Swen the Pron would have a fully the Description sur letter, 50 are returned.

You say that \"to incite men in this way to compass the murder of their fellow creatures is a most grievous offence against the beneficent laws of Heaven and humanity.\" Now, the French, during the fighting at Pagoda anchorage, fired on trading-vessels and ferry boats, and, when the Chinese jumped into the water to escape, killed considerably over 1,000 of them with their big guns. Those who have thus innocently suffered were Chinese non-combatants, and people of all nationalities have both seen and heard of the cruelty and inhumanity of the [French] proceedings. I put it to you, is not this indeed \"a most grievous offence against the beneficent laws of Heaven and of humanity?\"\n\nAs you ask for particulars, I now send you this special reply, and have, &c.\n\nPage 363", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-219 Foreign Office 1884.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 328949, "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": "CO129-222 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Sir Bowen - 1885 [7-10]", "page_number": 208, "title": "CO129-222 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Sir Bowen - 1885 [7-10]", "content_text": "205 \n\n10 \n\n... with them against the common enemy in the event of a future quarrel with Russia. \n\nb. The recent appointment of Sir Robert Hart to be British Minister at Peking, for many years the Inspector General of the Chinese Maritime Customs, - a man of much natural ability and of matured knowledge of the country and people, has naturally been much discussed. In my opinion, founded on excellent sources of information, it is a bold but wise measure. The anger expressed at it by the French and other Foreign Representatives in this part of the world, is a proof that they fully appreciate and are jealously afraid of Sir Robert Hart's paramount personal influence with the Chinese Government. He will beyond doubt be a strong Minister. Still, as Mr. Plunkett, our able Minister in Japan, lately remarked to me, his appointment is, to a certain degree, a game of \"double or quits\".", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-222 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Sir Bowen - 1885 [7-10].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 329484, "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": "CO129-223 - Governor Sir Bowen Acting Governor Marsh & Others - 1885 [11-12]", "page_number": 293, "title": "CO129-223 - Governor Sir Bowen Acting Governor Marsh & Others - 1885 [11-12]", "content_text": "Any further communication on this subject should be addressed to-\n\n**THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY** \n**(MARINE DEPARTMENT)**.\n\nBOARD OF TRADE, WHITEHALL GARDENS, S.W.\n\nAnd the following letter and number should be quoted in the communication, and marked clearly on the outside of the envelope, viz.:—\n\n`M773` \n`179/42-5` \n`S.W.`\n\nBoard of Trade \n(Marine Department)\n\n**RECE** \n292 \nC O. \n925 \n\nWhitehall Gardens, S.W.\n\n**REGO 16 JAN 85** \n1887 \n\n15th January,\n\nWrede Inquiries.\n\nI am directed by the Board of Trade to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 9th instant, transmitting a despatch from the Governor of Hong Kong relating to the suspension of a Master's Certificate issued by the Government of the Straits Settlements by the Court of Inquiry held at Victoria into the loss of the \"Marlborough\" and asking whether the Board of Trade see any objection to the proposal of the Governor to recognize in future only the Certificates of such Colonial Courts as act in Comformity under Section 8 of the Merchant Shipping (Colonial) Act of 1869.\n\nRe \nAnder Secretary \nof State, \nColonial Office.\n\nIn \n1", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-223 - Governor Sir Bowen Acting Governor Marsh & Others - 1885 [11-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 330962, "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": "CO129-227 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1886 [6]", "page_number": 45, "title": "CO129-227 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1886 [6]", "content_text": "Jaque:\n\nWe must in this tho ap ensput eus augt 7.\n\nIn 1873 the then for stong kang finding that the public objected to their complaint against the police being dealt with by the Cafe\" Superintendant tred of the magistrates - ispred being standing ander that when complaints were made agaand the Police (Except there of a my trifting a complainant should to recommended rature) washind\n\n2 the 4 affly to the Magistrate for a summens a\n\nThe present O.A.G. on the advice of the Attorney Fiscal has recommended that order and substituted.\n\nare the investigate the charg an ander that all much complaints 4th Capt.

This being so, I hope allowances will be made for the indignation to which I am moved by a broken promise, following as it did all the rest of the bad treatment I have so long endured.\n\n\"If ever anger was justifiable, it is certainly so in my case, as I will endeavour to show by recapitulating its particulars point by point, and by showing that after treating me as one of the best officers in our army, and officially stamping me as such, Your Royal Highness suddenly turned against me and treated me as one of the worst.\"\n\nHis Royal Highness was afraid to grant the Court Martial (`Brochure 13, p. 1`) or the Court of Inquiry (`Brochure 6, p. 2`). After dealing with my letter of the 28th February, 1888, in the way he did, he dare not face any tribunal that would sift the whole matter to the bottom, and so I am left to my last resort—the publication of the correspondence. Still I wait, making every effort for a peaceful settlement, reluctant to take those extreme measures which the case now urgently demands. Lord Salisbury is made a party, and in his opinion the affair must have been grave indeed, for, soon after the Prime Minister had forwarded to the Commander-in-Chief one of my letters to him, His Royal Highness graciously informs me of my appointment as Colonel of a Regiment, thinking thereby to adjust the balance and so get the advantage for his side in the controversy. But I will have no half-measures, no makeshift compensation. My claim is, official retractation of most unfair official censure or its cancellation by a public mark of Royal favour; and restoration to the active list of the army from which I have been unjustly retired.\n\nThe above is a brief summary of the correspondence, and will show how consistent has been my attitude throughout, in sharp contrast to the weakness and vacillation of my opponents.\n\nTo show how foreign to my nature is the species of controversy in which I have become involved, and to show what is my character in the opinion of those qualified to judge, and as revealed by myself, I quote:\n\n(a) From my letter of the 12th of last July to His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge (at pp. 17 and 18), the following words :-\n\n\"I wish here to attach another public proof as to what was thought of my disposition before your Royal Highness drove me into all this self-assertion. It is from the Whitehall Review of the 11th May, 1878, and may be all the more highly considered because of the fact that I never knew in my life anyone as a writer for or to that periodical. In the Whitehall, when it was expected that England and Russia would soon be grappling in the throes of war, a list was given on high authority of general officers who would be employed, whose ability is indisputable, and whose names would all shed lustre on the British arms.'

The prisoner was employed by Messrs Arthur and Co., whose manager here was Mr. Ogilvie, and he owed them a sum of about $900. Mr. Ogilvie in January last pressed for payment and the prisoner told him that although he had not the cash he would give a promissory note backed by a guarantee. Chan Yau Lok was mentioned as the surety and it was expressed, his willingness to sign. A promissory note was drawn up by Mr. Ogilvie and signed by the parties, but later on it was found to be worthless by the fact that it was unstamped. Mr. Ogilvie went to the office and told the prisoner that the note had no value and that a new one would have to be drawn up on duly stamped paper. The original document was returned to the prisoner, and a new promissory note was made out. The prisoner went to Chan Yau Lok to get it signed as his guarantor and returned with the signature. From what Mr. Ogilvie learned afterwards, however, it transpired that Chan Yau Lok denied the signature and disputed his liability. The prisoner was therefore charged with forging Chan Yau Lok's signature and uttering the forged note.\n\nEvidence was then taken.\n\nThe jury returned a unanimous verdict of guilty and His Lordship sentenced the prisoner to two years' imprisonment with hard labour.\n\n22nd May.\n\nIN ORIGINAL JURISDICTION. BEFORE HIS HONOUR J. ACKROYD AND A SPECIAL JURY.\n\nTHE HONGKONG WEEKLY PRESS AND\n\nFIRE IN QUEEN'S ROAD WEST,\n\nTHE NATIONAL BANK OF CHINA, LIMITED, V. HIM KEE ALUM This was an action brought by the National Bank of China, Limited against Him Kee Alum, trader, of Foochow, to recover £2,460 4s. 5d. or its equivalent in dollars, due by the defendant on shares held by him in the plaintiff company, and for interest thereon at the rate of ten per cent.\n\nMr. J. J. Francis, Q.C., and Mr. H. E. Pollock (instructed by Mr. Wright, of Mr. V. H. Deacon's office) appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. E. Robinson (instructed by Mr. Bowley, of Mr. H. L. Deacon's office) represented the defendant.\n\nThe following special jury was empanelled: Messrs. H. M. Joseph, M. S. S. Sassoon, J. T. V. Vernon, J. B. Donghtyric, J. J. B. Heemskerk, B. C. Wilcox, and W. B. Loxley.\n\n(May 24, 1894.) DEFEAT OF THE ANTI-FOREIGN PARTY IN JAPAN,\n\nWe learn that a telegram has been received from Tokyo stating that in the House of Representatives the motion for the adoption of an address to the Emperor, of which the prominent feature was the Radical idea of the strict enforcement of the treaties, has been defeated.\n\nOn the morning of the 15th inst., about 6 o'clock, a fire broke out at No. 127, Queen's Road West, occupied by a second-hand clothes dealer. The outbreak centred on the ground floor, attributable, it is said, to the upsetting of the inevitable kerosine lamp, and the flames quickly spread to the upper stories. When the Brigade under Mr. H. Wodehouse and Deputy Superintendent Horspool arrived they found the whole place in a blaze. The fortunate circumstance that there was little or no breeze was somewhat discounted by the difficulty in getting water, as in the pre-treaty stipulations, which would preclude foreigners from residing outside the lists of the treaty ports and how difficulties in the way of travel in the interior.\n\nWith very praiseworthy briskness, however, the steam was got up on the engines and in a few minutes, some good streams of water from the half-an-hour's work sufficed to remove all danger as the coolies were playing on the flames. About the whole of No. 137 was destroyed and the adjoining houses suffered slight damage by fire and water. The contents of No. 137 were insured for $4,400 in the Hamburg and Bremen Fire Insurance Company, for which Messrs. Carlowitz & Co. are agents.\n\nTHE BOTANICAL AND AFFORESTATION REPORT.\n\nThe following report of the Superintendent of the Botanic Gardens, report on this department for the year 1893.\n\nHongkong, 7th May, 1894.\n\nSir,\n\nI have the honour to submit the annual report on this department for the year 1893.\n\nBOTANIC GARDENS.\n\nAfter the fire had been extinguished, the partition wall between No. 137 and No. 139 fell down, and six men and women, who had entered the basement to recover some of the damaged goods, were buried under the debris. The police at once set to work to rescue the unfortunate people and, strange to say, found that only one man was at all injured, and he not seriously. The others were almost unscathed. The injured man was removed to the Government Civil Hospital.\n\nAt the Magistracy on Thursday Mr. H. E. Wodehouse opened an enquiry into the circumstances of the fire at 137, Queen's Road West, which occurred on the 15th.\n\nMr. G. C. C. Master (of Messrs. Johnson, Stokes and Master) represented the fire insurance agents, Messrs. Carlowitz and Co.\n\nInspector Mackie is in charge of the case for the police.\n\nI am the wife of Wong A Pui, a dealer in fish at Chau Tai, Singapore. I reside in a house in Queen's Road West. I was at No. 137 on the morning of the 15th, sleeping in a room with my three children.\n\nA light which I saw through a hole in the floor of my room attracted my attention, and looking through it I saw a man with a piece of lighted paper in his hand standing over a heap of clothes on which he was pouring kerosine. A moment or two afterwards he applied the light to the clothes and they immediately blazed up.\n\nI shouted \"Burn everyone in the house!\" I got up about 2 o'clock. He made no reply and the other people in the house then ran out. I had been awake some time before I got up and had noticed a smell of kerosine. The hole through which I looked was about a foot long and an inch wide. I could see quite distinctly. I am not acquainted with the people on the ground floor.\n\nThe grounds, plant-houses, buildings, fences, walks and elections of plants have all been maintained in good order, and improvements have been effected in various directions.\n\nIMPROVEMENTS.\n\n1. An additional glass-roofed plant-house 50 feet long by 12 feet wide, situated in the nursery, has been completed. The woodwork has been chiefly made and fitted by our carpenter who is on the staff.\n\n2. Certain walks in the Botanical and Government House Gardens have been concreted. These additions now finish all that is needed in this kind of walk formation.\n\n3. Extensions have been made to rockeries where circumstances rendered these necessary.\n\nLAWNS.\n\nTowards the end of the summer the moths and caterpillars mentioned in paragraph No. 14 of my last report again appeared, but having learnt by past experience the habits of these pests their advent was anticipated, and on their first appearance remedies for their destruction were at once applied and maintained at regular intervals until the termination of their season of activity. By these means the lawns were preserved from injury.\n\nDr. A. Gunther, F.R.S., Keeper of the Department of Zoology, British Museum (Natural History), to whom I sent specimens of the larvæ, chrysalids, and moths for determination, has very kindly informed me that its name is Thialleta signifera (Walk.). The chief injury to the grass is caused by this species, but another one, which appears simultaneously with the Thialleta is also responsible for some damage.\n\nThis one Dr. Günther has also determined from specimens which I sent. It is Pharazia bicarnea (Wlk.).\n\n6. Children continue to run over places where grass should be, but which they have long ago worn away. As the attendants and police are unable to prevent this, it would be advisable to provide low iron fences on the margins of walks where children chiefly congregate, of sufficient height to prevent the children leaving the walks.\n\nMr. Pollok opened the case by reading the pleadings filed and the answer. From these it appeared that when Messrs. Russell and Co. failed the firm was indebted to the defendant for a sum of $10,000 and defendant was indebted to them for $50,000. Besides carrying on their ordinary business as merchants at Foochow, however, Messrs. Russell and Company were the agents for the plaintiff bank, and the plaintiff bank tried to induce the defendant to acknowledge that he was indebted to it for $50,000 instead of to Messrs. Russell and Co. The defendant, however, would not recognise this liability at all. Towards the end of 1891 the defendant was desirous of selling all his shares to Mr. Weeks, a broker at Foochow. Mr. Weeks asked for a transfer of the shares and expressed his willingness to pay any outstanding claims. The bank claimed a lien on the shares and refused to allow the transfer until the $50,000 alleged to be due was paid.\n\nMr. Francis on these pleadings asked for judgment for the full amount claimed. Even supposing all the facts alleged were admitted, he submitted that there was no equitable defence. The only defence really set up was that the bank refused to allow a transfer of the shares, but that was no ground of defence in this case, but only a possible case of action for damages.\n\nMr. Robinson then addressed the Court at great length, first stating that he had not anticipated that a legal point would have been raised until the whole of the case had been laid before the Court and the verdict of the jury obtained.\n\nWodehouse concluded the enquiry into the fire at No. 127, Queen's Road West.\n\nAt the Magistracy, on Saturday Mr. H. E. Wodehouse concluded the enquiry into the fire at No. 127, Queen's Road West. Mr. G. C. C. Master (of Messrs. Jobson, Stokes and Master) appeared for the insurance agents, Messrs. Carlowitz and Co. Mr. J. F. Reece represented the shopkeeper.\n\nP.C. McEwen said that when he forced his way into the shop on the alarm being given he found a quilt on the counter in flames, but the fire spread up the side of the wall and the whole place was eventually destroyed.\n\nThe premises were released.\n\nUltimately the case was adjourned until the next day.\n\nPittosporum tobira on the terrace below the fountain died during the year. This caused temporary incompleteness in the arrangement, but new plants have been put in the place of those which died.\n\nMay 24, 1894.\n\nHONGKONG.\n\nCHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT.\n\nThe Hon. T. H. Whitehead leaves to-day by the Empress of Japan.\n\nAt the Magistracy on Tuesday before Commander W. C. H. Hastings a coolie was fined $75, with the option of three months' imprisonment, for having in his possession 29 taels of opium.\n\nThe plague has during the past week continued to claim 30 or 40 victims daily, notwithstanding the heavy rains and the measures which have been taken by the authorities to mitigate the disease. There are indications now, however, that the plague is becoming less virulent, and the returns show a diminution in the number of fatal cases.\n\nH.E. Sir William and Lady Robinson returned to the colony on the 15th inst. after a very enjoyable sojourn in Japan.\n\nMr. Cyril Platt, Private Secretary to His Excellency, has left for Shanghai in order to catch the homeward French mail and thereby avoid the difficulties of booking from Hongkong. Mr. Platt is going home on six months' leave, and during his absence the duties of Private Secretary will be discharged by Capt. Sterling, A.D.C.\n\nIn the fire which occurred near the new reservoir for the Taikoo Sugar Refinery on the 13th inst. even large matsheds were destroyed. A coolie who was endeavouring to save his property was rather seriously burnt about the hands and face and was removed to the Government Civil Hospital.\n\nOur Anjer correspondent writes:-On the night of the 2nd inst. the German ship Christine, from Philadelphia to Hyogo, took the ground at Old Anjer and remained fast for three hours, without any further assistance. The ship apparently made no water, and the captain decided on proceeding on his voyage.\n\nOn Thursday morning a large stone was seen on the tram line as the motor car was descending.\n\nThe breaksman gave the signal to stop the engine and at the same time let go the break. The stone was removed and the break having been unscrewed the car resumed its journey. There was only a momentary delay, and the next car left punctually at its proper time, 12:30.\n\nA meeting of the Odd Volumes\" was held on Friday night, at which a good number of members were present.\n\nMr. J. Stuart Harrison delivered a very interesting lecture on \"The Telephone,\" illustrated by diagrams and practical illustrations.\n\nAt the Magistracy on the 15th inst. A. H. C. Rao, a telegraph clerk employed at the Kowloon Police Station, was fined $10 for removing certain property from his house, which the Supreme Court bailiff had seized under a distress warrant for rent.\n\nThe fine was paid.\n\nOn Saturday evening a smoking concert was given in the Theatre by Mrs. Potter and Mr. Bellew, assisted by several amateurs. It was decided to commence the tournament on June 1st and the first round will be completed by July 31st. The second round will then commence and the entire tournament will conclude on September 30th.\n\nA set of rules regulating the competition were passed and a committee, consisting of Messrs. H. Humphreys, T. H. Reid, and H. E. Pollock was appointed to make the necessary arrangements.\n\nMr. Quong Tart, who arrived from Sydney by the Menmuir, had quite an enthusiastic send-off when the vessel left. The poop was gaily decorated with flags, etc., and the city band was present.\n\nSir George Dibbs, the Premier of New South Wales, was amongst those who attended to wish the traveller bon voyage, and in responding to the toast of prosperity to New South Wales, with which his name was coupled, he remarked that if Mr. Tart succeeded in establishing the wool trade between the two countries, as he was about to try and do, he should have a statue erected in his honour 10ft. high.\n\nIn replying to the toast of his health, Mr. Tart said that he would do his best to further the interests of the wool trade while he was away.\n\nThe health of Captain Craig, the popular commander of the Menmuir, was also honoured.\n\nTart is accompanied by Mrs. Quong Tart and family, and the principal object of his voyage is to pay a visit to his mother, who resides near Mono.\n\nA correspondent writes:-I see in a Trinidad paper which has just reached me a report of a meeting of the Legislative Council, at which was read a letter from Mr. Osbert Chadwick on the water supply and sanitation of Port-of-Spain.\n\nIt is notified that on Friday, the day appointed for the celebration of Her Majesty's birth, His Excellency the Governor will hold a levée at Government House from 12 to 1 p.m.\n\nThe steamer Dvochis, which arrived on Monday from Saigon, reports that the steamers Bengice, Bucephalus, Bantam, Holstein, Decima, and Jacobs were lying in quarantine at Cape Vin.\n\nMr. H. P. Tooker has been appointed Acting Director of Public Works during the absence on leave of Mr. W. Chatham.\n\nWe understand that the Hon. J. B. Stewart Imokhart, who was elected Chairman of the Victoria Recreation Club for the ensuing year, has declined the honour.\n\nA meeting of chess-players was held on the 15th inst. at Bank Buildings in connection with the recently formed Club, for the purpose of arranging a tournament.\n\nMr. H. E. Pollock presided.\n\nThere were 729 visitors to the City Hall Museum last week, of whom 93 were Europeans.\n\nEarly on Monday morning a junk was capsized at Murray Pier in a squall. No lives were lost.\n\nThe lung Wah Hospital and its temporary branch at the Glassworks have been connected with the telephone system.\n\nFor some time past the villagers of Yau Ma Tei and Yaumati have brought reports of devourings by two tigers and these grew so numerous that at length a party headed by some European sportsmen, armed with a few rifles and miscellaneous weapons, set off in search of the other tigers still supposed to infest the district.\n\nWell, the tigers were tracked to their lair in a rare and they were wide enough not to get choked at two miles from the boundary and shot.\n\nSome trouble has been given by a demonstration of native prejudice and ignorance, this on Saturday and day last giving rise to disturbances in the Pakwanshan district.\n\nThe Government mitigated the trouble by granting permission to place the patients in a hospital on shore under Chinese direction.\n\nOur Tientsin contemporary gives the following particulars:-\n\nMr. James Cantlie, F.R.C.S. Eng., of Hongkong, with Mrs. Cantlie, and Mr. Ernest L. C. Berger, arrived in Tientsin on Wednesday, 9th inst., and left the following morning for Peking and the Great Wall.\n\nThe Glenugle arrived at Woosung on the 13th inst., 39 days from London, including all stoppages. She will be the first steamer this season to lead tea for New York, via the Suez Canal.\n\nMISCELLANEOUS.\n\nAn order has been sent to Europe for two iron towers for the Manila cathedral to replace the stone ones destroyed in the last great earthquake.\n\nThe animals at the Pokfulam Dairy Farm are now quite free from the pleuro which recently broke out there, and only one animal, which is segregated at a distance, is now under treatment.\n\nThe cattle are being inspected by Mr. C. Vivian Ladds, Colonial Veterinary Surgeon, and already 120 have been treated, generally with complete success.\n\nThe annual general meeting of A. S.

There is no such thing as religious rancour, as we understand the expression, in China, least of all among the poor women among whom the sisters worked. The Chinese, as a people, are simply non-religious. They have a religion of their own, but it has to do with luck and profit in their earthly concerns. There are no religious fanatics among them. When fanaticism does arise in reference to foreigners, it is directed against them as such, and not against the foreigners' religion. I know there is a strong feeling in the mind of many, if not against the propagation of Christianity by missionaries, at least against many of their methods. No doubt missionaries, like merchants, make mistakes. I have myself found fault with some of the modes of working of the missionaries. But God help us if we are to be massacred for our mistakes! The sisters, the children, and Mrs. Stewart were massacred or hacked at simply because they were foreigners and helpless, and now what are we going to do? What steps shall we urge on our Foreign Office? We must urge our Government to re-consider the whole question of diplomatic dealings with China. For long years past, our Foreign Office has been treating the Chinese Government as if it were a civilized Government alive to its responsibilities to its own people and to peaceable foreigners residing by Treaty rights in various parts of the Empire. They have regarded the Chinese Government as having, by its various Treaties with foreign nations, entered the comity of nations. We here know what an utterly false view this is. The Chinese Government, whether at Peking or throughout the Provinces, has not the slightest sense of responsibility with reference to the treatment of foreigners in China. Where foreigners can help themselves, as at the Treaty Ports, things go on smoothly, but where they are defenceless, they are exposed to be robbed or killed by ruffians while the Local Government looks on and does nothing. Since 1890, outrage has followed outrage. In the Yangtze valley, property has been destroyed and lives have been lost repeatedly. In Sz-chuen, lately riots went on for days unchecked, though soldiers were close at hand and might have easily dispersed the rioters. Over a hundred Christian teachers were in imminent peril of their lives. And now, very close to us, comes the ghastliest outrage of all. What are we to do? Are we to be satisfied with the falling off of a few or many heads of coolies or with a douceur of cash? God forbid! (loud applause) What are we to do? Let us place these facts before Lord Salisbury in all plainness that he may understand the sort of Government with which he has to deal. Let him understand that the present Government of China has neither the moral nor the physical power to check these riots against foreigners. I feel I am on delicate ground and think it would not be wise to enter much into particulars; but, if the whole case can be thoroughly represented, there ought to be some severe dealing with high officials and occupation for a longer or shorter time of the offending region. (applause and cheers.)\n\nThe Chairman: Mr. Francis will now move the second resolution.\n\nMr. J. J. Francis, who on rising was loudly applauded, said: Ladies and gentlemen, this meeting has been called not merely for the purpose of expressing our deep sorrow at the atrocious crime that has been committed and our sincere sympathy with the survivors of that massacre and with the friends and the relatives of those who are gone, but to express, and I hope express strongly, our bitter anger and indignation—(applause)—not so much at the unfortunate men who, misguided in their ideas as to Europeans, and as to their position and objects in China—not so much against the actual perpetrators of the offence, but against the Chinese so-called civilized government (\"hear, hear,\" and applause) whose officials for so many years have assisted in and connived at the most atrocious outrages against the persons and properties of Europeans in China, to do what, as members of what our Chairman called the Democracy of England, we have a right to do—to express our views and our opinions as to the conduct of the Chinese Government. We are the Democracy of England, however few we may be here as its representatives, and we, the people, the Democracy, are the governors, and not the Ministry, of England, and if, as the Chairman indicated, the Democracy of England call out loudly enough and clearly enough, every Ministry, every Government, must attend to their behests. I ask you gentlemen who are resident in China, who have studied and are intimately acquainted with the Chinese, and who know more or less the history of the last fifty years—I ask you to-day to express clearly your opinion as to the conduct of the Chinese Government; to join in the representation to the Home Government that, in our opinion, every Government official in China, from the Viceroy downwards, is cognizant of what is going on and cognizant of the anti-foreign movement, and sympathizing with it and conniving at it. (Cheers.) We have had abundant evidence that in the recent disturbance in Szechuen, the Viceroy of that province and the highest officials in charge of the Government of that province were not merely cognizant of what was going on but, by their proclamations and their reports which were put in circulation, were permitting the disturbance and urging on the people. We have it from the last speaker that, with reference to this massacre in Kucheng, the officials, from the Viceroy downwards, were aware of what was going on and the threats made against the missionaries. The officials took no precautions to protect the helpless persons resident under treaty in their midst. (applause.) We have not only to express our opinion as to the guilt of the Chinese Government and its officials but we have also to point out to the authorities in England that, in our opinion—an opinion fully justified by the facts—the officials of the Chinese Government have not the power to stay the storm that they themselves have raised. (loud applause.) These outrages are not being committed without their knowledge; they are fully acquainted with them; they are urging the people on. Sometimes a disturbance goes far beyond what they themselves desire, or what they think prudent; and when it does, they are powerless to check it. They have no forces at their disposal to carry out and give effect to the treaty rights which they have granted to Europeans. They are helpless and hopeless; and we might well say that China, in its present condition, is not capable of being reformed. (loud cheers.) A revolution of the deepest and far-reaching character is absolutely necessary; and until the Empire has been broken up and cast into a crucible and melted down, no effective reform of the Government or of the people of China is possible. (\"hear, hear\" and prolonged applause.) Now it is well to be indignant with the Chinese and with the Chinese Government, but if all these facts, if the weakness and impotence of the Government and the connivance of the Government officials in all these outrages have been known to us in years past, they have been also known to our own Government, and we may justly feel indignant with the English Government and with the English Government officials because, in the past, they have neglected their duty towards their subjects resident in the treaty ports in China (applause) and because it is in consequence of that neglect that the recent massacres and outrages have occurred. (applause.) When a crime is committed in any country, punishment ought to follow. If an offence is committed against foreigners in our own country, punishment follows almost automatically by the operation of our laws and by our courts of justice. If our Government officials fail in any part of their duty in any part of the world, they are removed from their posts and incapacitated from further service for the State. What we do ourselves, we are in the habit of demanding from other nations. If a Consul is insulted and offended, an enormous indemnity is demanded, and if not paid, 'blue jackets' are landed and take possession of, say, a town in Central America. (Laughter, cheers, and applause.) Why has not the Chinese Government been treated in the same way? (deafening applause.) As his Lordship the Bishop has pointed out, this is not by any means the first outrage that has occurred in China. There has been a perfect succession of outrages of different degrees of enormity year after year. Compensation has sometimes been given to the sufferers; but has any effective punishment been imposed upon the Chinese Government or demanded by our own; or if demanded, has not that demand been a simple farce? It has never been put in force. (loud and prolonged applause.) The individual sufferers may be compensated and their property restored, but is that a proper amend to the Government whose subjects have suffered, and whose power and government it is? It is not simply sufficient that there should be a restitutio in integrum of the property destroyed; it is necessary that there should be a public apology; it is necessary that officials who have been found guilty, and who have been negligent in their duties, should be removed, and permanently removed; and as between nation and nation, when those demands are not carried out, what are the remedies? In China, as I have said before, compensation has often been given. Some poor coolies, as his lordship the Bishop said, have been executed, but never the actual criminals. (applause.) Censure has been bestowed upon officials, and they have been removed for a day, but promoted the very next, and our Government, satisfied with the removal of them, have never found out that next day they are rewarded by higher promotions. Are we not entitled to ask ourselves to look round and see if any other Government in the world but the English Government would have tolerated outrages such as those which have been committed in China and demanded so little from the Chinese Government? (applause.) I put it to you that the English Government have neglected their duty in regard to the protection of their subjects in China. They have not taken effective measures to protect their representatives in the interior of China. They have a right to be in the interior of China under the treaties, and the missionaries who were murdered the other day at Kucheng had just as much right to reside in the interior of China as we have to reside here, or as any traveller who passes through the country. Their occupation has nothing to do with the question. (applause.) They were British subjects; and it is not a question of what they were or how they got there, or how they were conducting themselves. If they were misconducting themselves—and I am perfectly certain they were not—there is provided by treaty a means by which they might have been punished; but they were murdered in cold blood—murdered by a cruel, heartless mob. (cries of \"shame\" and applause.) And the only redress demanded by our Government is that one of our Consuls should be sent to conduct an enquiry on the site of the massacre, and that he should be escorted to the place by Chinese armed troops. (hisses.) And as you have heard from the telegram just read, the Chinese armed troops which were sent to protect the missionaries on their arrival immediately distinguished themselves by further plunder and destruction of the missionary premises! (hisses.) Now there is but one remedy. The Chinese Government are absolutely unable to give us or the English Government adequate satisfaction; therefore, as between nation and nation, there is but one remedy; satisfaction must be taken. (loud and prolonged applause.) Investigation by Chinese officials is a farce; the investigation must be conducted at the place by a competent European commission and properly supported by an armed force. (cheers.) To rely upon the Chinese authorities for the protection of that Commission...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-268 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1895 [7-11].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 358145, "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": "CO129-268 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1895 [7-11]", "page_number": 310, "title": "CO129-268 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1895 [7-11]", "content_text": "615\n\n(8)\n\nor upon any armed force that the Chinese Government is to rely upon a broken reed, for every official implicated by active aid in this massacre or by connivance - every official, no matter how high, to whom can be brought home the knowledge of what was going on - must be degraded, and our Government must see that the degradation attaches to him for the remainder of his life. (loud applause) That that man must not again be promoted or rewarded in the service of the Chinese Government, and that some guarantee must be taken for the proper and effective carrying out of the punishment of the guilty officials and the criminals. What that guarantee shall be must rest with the Government, but we, with our knowledge and our experience and as members of the great English community throughout the world, bound together by a single tie, we are entitled to express our opinions as to the complete failure of the measures hitherto adopted by the British Government to obtain justice from China and as to the measures that ought to be adopted by that Government in the future, and we are entitled to join our voices with the voice now calling out loudly in England for punishment of and for retribution from the murderers and from their Government. (loud and prolonged cheers).\n\nAnd now, ladies and gentlemen, I beg to move the second resolution as follows: That this meeting desires to express its anger and indignation at the criminal connivance of the Chinese Government and its officers in not affording adequate protection and not taking proper precautions for the defence of the unfortunate sufferers at Kucheng; and this meeting desires...\n\nAt this point Mr. Francis was interrupted by the Chairman, and after a few moments' conversation between them.\n\nMr. Francis said - Ladies and gentlemen, it will be for you to decide. The Chairman appeals to me to ask you simply to content yourselves with expressing your indignation without definitely directing that indignation against anyone. (cries of \"no, no,\" \"Your own resolution,\" loud applause, and disorder). That, gentlemen...\n\nThe Chairman (interrupting the speaker) - I was drawing Mr. Francis's attention to the fact that the terms of his motion that he is making before the house - before this meeting - had not been previously shown to me or submitted to me. The motion, as shown to me, appeared to be different. I was not saying that I objected to the terms of the motion; it came upon me as rather a surprise.\n\nMr. Master (seated in the Stalls) - I beg to propose that Mr. Francis's motion, whatever it may be, be read. (loud applause). We are here to decide whether or not we will adopt it. (renewed applause).\n\nThe Chairman - May I add one word in order to prevent any further stopping of these proceedings? I merely spoke to Mr. Francis because it was a matter of surprise to me, as I had not seen the terms of the motion. I had not the slightest intention of suggesting that Mr. Francis's motion, in the terms in which he has drafted it, should not be submitted to the meeting.\n\nMr. Francis - I have only to apologise to the Chief Justice for having misunderstood what he was saying to me. (laughter and applause). I beg to propose this resolution - \"That this meeting desires to express its horror and indignation at the crime committed at Kucheng; its anger and indignation at the criminal connivance of the Chinese Government and its officers in this and other recent attacks on missionaries and missionary property; and our disgust at the apathy and indifference of our own Government. (loud applause) and its failure to recognise the gravity of the situation, and to take adequate measures for the protection of its subjects, and for the punishment of their murderers.\" (renewed and prolonged applause).\n\nHon. A. McConachie now stepped forward to second the resolution. He said - Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Francis has so ably and fully expressed our great horror and indignation at the brutal, cold-blooded murder of our inoffensive countrymen and countrywomen, that little remains for anyone coming after him to say. I am sure the indignation of all present here today, when first they heard of this terrible massacre, rose to boiling point. I know mine did. I do not, of course, know what steps our Government may take in this dreadful matter, but I hope they will be such as shall prove a lesson to the Chinese in future and make it quite clear to them that the lives of British subjects cannot be atoned for by money. (loud applause). With these few remarks, I beg to second the resolution proposed by Mr. Francis.\n\nMr. G. C. C. Master - May I be permitted to suggest an amendment in the nature of an addition to the last resolution? There has been a good deal said about the outrages and as to the insufficiency of the compensation. I believe that the compensation hitherto has been considered to be sufficient if dealt out in money. Now, I think that it should be added to this resolution that this meeting is of opinion that money compensation is wholly inadequate. I beg to propose an amendment by way of addition to this resolution in the following words, \"and that in the opinion of this meeting money compensation is wholly inadequate redress for outrages of such a nature and that the position demands swift and stern measures by the British Government.\" (\"hear, hear,\" and loud and prolonged applause).\n\nAt this point, the Chairman spoke to Mr. Francis and then said - I understand that Mr. Francis is willing to accept the proposed amendment as part of his resolution, and, therefore, instead of moving the resolution and then the amendment, the more convenient course will be that the addition be proposed by Mr. Francis as part of his own resolution. (applause). I have now formally to read to you the resolution moved by Mr. Francis and seconded by Mr. McConachie, which, although it is, as I ventured to suggest, new to me in point of form, is not in point of substance. (applause).\n\nThe Chairman then read the amended resolution in extenso and added - I propose to take the same step with regard to this resolution as I did with regard to the last, and assume, in the absence of any further address to the meeting, that this resolution is unanimously and enthusiastically adopted. (loud cheers).\n\nAt this juncture, Dr. Hartigan stepped forward and said - Before we break up from what I think we may call a very successful meeting, I have to ask your hearty thanks for our learned Chairman, who came here readily, as he has always done to other meetings wherever sympathy or benevolence is required. I thank him not only on account of his high position, but far more for the kind and sympathetic way in which he has spoken of this outrage - this series of outrages. Personally, I have strong feelings in the matter, as one of the ladies who was murdered is the friend of one of my old friends in Dublin - a doctor there. I ask you to give a hearty vote of thanks to the Chairman. (loud applause).\n\nMr. Woolley (seated in the Stalls) - May I ask how or by whom these resolutions are to be forwarded?\n\nThe Chairman - I will explain that shortly. Let me first assure you that I thank you very sincerely for your kind reception of me as Chairman, and that, if I can use the word pleasure upon an occasion of this sort, it has certainly been a pleasure to me to act in the humble way I have done at this meeting. My duties in connection with it have been more or less of a formal nature, and even with regard to the form of the resolution, I regret to say that I perhaps did not inform myself as fully as I should have done. I am quite sure you will understand it was not from the slightest feeling of discourtesy to Mr. Francis, and must be attributed to carelessness of my own. I thought the resolution was very short in its form, and when I heard a longer resolution than the one I saw on the paper, I naturally interposed to see what it was. I think you will see I was only acting as was right and proper in my position as Chairman of this meeting.\n\nLet us express our satisfaction that this meeting can be fairly described as thoroughly representative. It is the largest meeting which, in my experience, has been held in Hongkong, and as it was necessary that it had to be held in business hours, it is exceedingly satisfactory it has attained its present dimensions.\n\nWell, now, just one word more as to the question asked by a gentleman a moment ago. I am quite in the hands of the meeting as to what should be done, but I think the best way and the simplest way, it seems to me, would be for me to convey the sympathy for the sufferers in a formal way, as I have done already informally, to his lordship the Bishop. The second resolution should be formally drawn up, and I should be happy to undertake it myself, and to forward it to the Governor for transmission to the Secretary of State. (applause).\n\nSeveral Voices - By telegram.\n\nMr. Woolley - Why not telegraph direct to Lord Salisbury? Hear, hear,\" and loud applause.\n\nThe Chairman - That being the sense of the meeting, I shall be most happy to convey the wish thus expressed.\n\nA gentleman in the Pit shouted - \"To the 'Times'\" (a voice, \"shut up\").\n\nThe Chairman - You will all understand, ladies and gentlemen, that it would have, as far as I am concerned, to be transmitted to his Excellency the Governor for transmission to the Secretary of State, and I assume that is what you would wish. It will be intimated to his Excellency that the meeting expresses a strong feeling that the resolution should be transmitted by wire. With these few remarks, I have to declare the meeting at an end.\n\n## COMMENTS\n\nLeading article published in the Hongkong Telegraph on the 9th August, 1895:\n\n### THE PUBLIC MEETING\n\nThe public are deeply indebted to the Chief Justice, Sir Fielding Clarke, for presiding at the meeting held yesterday, and for his happy management of the business. He seemed to divine at once the wishes of the meeting and to sympathise with them, and it was a happy inspiration that led him to declare the resolutions carried by acclamation instead of putting them to the vote. His express assent to the substance of the second resolution, although he would probably prefer to have modified the language of it, gave the greatest satisfaction and was the strongest proof of the strength of the feeling that animated and governed the community.\n\nThere are, we believe, dissentients in the community who think that a vote of censure of the conduct of the Government should not have been introduced or passed. If it is so, it is to be regretted that they had not the courage of their convictions and did not speak or even call for a show of hands at the meeting yesterday, but allowed the vote of censure to pass by acclamation. It is useless for men to attend public meetings, to take part in the proceedings, to applaud the speakers, to share in the enthusiasm, and when they get outside the doors, express their dissent from what has been said and done, and their disapproval of the whole affair. They should either have stayed away or behaved like men and given expression at the meeting, and in the face of the world, to their real views and opinions. They would certainly have been listened to with every attention, and might...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-268 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1895 [7-11].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 358148, "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": "CO129-268 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1895 [7-11]", "page_number": 313, "title": "CO129-268 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1895 [7-11]", "content_text": "307\n\nThe cries committed at Rucheng; its anger and indignation at the criminal connivance of the Chinese Government and its Officers in this and in other recent attacks on missionaries and on mission property, disgust at the apathy and indifference of the British Government and at its failure to recognise the gravity of the situation and to take adequate measures for the protection of its subjects and for the punishment of their murderers.

What is that which has made us such a great colonizing Power as we are? Is it not chiefly that great love of liberty and that power of self-government which every Englishman takes with him wherever he goes? The unofficial members have taken the course of resigning, but that is not enough. They must be supported by the Colony. It is only, if this support be given to them, that this matter can be brought to a successful issue. Their action has been taken with the approval of the Straits Association at home and here; and I can assure you that the members of the Straits Association will not turn back from this work until they have successfully achieved it. (Great applause.) \n\n## DR. LIM BOON KENG \n\nDr. Lim Boon Keng (a medical practitioner at Singapore with high British degrees) said:—Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, it is with great pleasure that I second this motion which has been proposed by Mr. Napier. By your presence here in such large numbers and on such a day, you show fully how strongly you feel on this subject. The Europeans are taking up this matter chiefly on the principle, as Mr. Napier has just mentioned, that every Englishman will take with him wherever he goes that principle of liberty for which the people of England have fought so long. It seems to me that the Governors of the Colonies of the British Empire have not always been long-sighted men. Our case to-day is exactly the case of North America years ago. Then there were remonstrances, public meetings, congresses, and all sorts of protests; and yet the Government of Lord North, his predecessors and successors, turned a deaf ear to the protests against the demands of the Imperial Government. The English Parliament paid no heed to the earnest solicitations of the Colonials. We have not that form of power which those Colonials had (a fact of which the Straits Times has been good enough to remind us); but not having that power, physical force, we still have the moral force to show the British public how unjustly we have been treated. (Applause) The Straits Times also mentions the slight delay, in the case of the resignations, caused by the hesitation of certain of the Chinese members in connection with the resignation scheme. But I think that the Chinese have very good reason for delaying. Most of these Chinese were born in China; they are not all Straits-born. It is only right, being aliens here, and being privileged in advising the Government, that they should consider very carefully any such scheme, its practicability and its advisability, before giving it their unanimous support. (Hear, hear.) I think that it would be a great mistake and a most unwarrantable assumption to make, that the resignation of the Chinese carries with it no moral significance. They have not resigned simply because the Europeans concerned have resigned. They have it in their minds clearly established from the great books of China, which tell us that, if the Ministers and advisers represent to the Sovereign that the practices of the Sovereign are contrary to the usages of the Constitution, and if, after repeated protests, there comes no relief, the only course left to Ministers and advisers is to resign. My Chinese friends have had this statement clearly before them, because all Chinese must have read the works of Mencius, who, as a classic authority, is next to Confucius. They have only hesitated to take the lead in a matter which first concerns Englishmen. In the books of Mencius there is a passage which says that men must decide what they will not do before taking action with vigour in what they will do. I think action taken by the unofficial members of the Legislative Council, the Justices of the Peace, and members of the Chinese Advisory Board is to show that they will have no share in taking money away from this Colony in the manner which will ruin us in time. We have used every argument we can use, and I think it is a pity, after so many meetings, so many protests, that we are still in exactly the same position as we were years ago. (Voices: \"Worse.\") I am sure all of you will heartily support the action which these gentlemen have taken in taking a step which will bring them into disfavour with the high and mighty officials of Downing Street. (Long continued applause.) \n\nThe motion carried. \n\nThe Chairman then put the resolution to the meeting and asked those in favour of it to put up each one hand. The response to this was one wave of arms in the air, and when the Chairman asked if there were any against, a pin might have been heard to drop in the stillness. Not a hand was raised. The Chairman, amidst the most enthusiastic cheering, declared the resolution carried. \n\n## MR. SHELFORD \n\nMr. T. Shelford, C.M.G., (a partner of Messrs. Paterson, Simons, & Co.), then rose, and was greeted with cheering again and again renewed. He said:— \n\nMr. Chairman and gentlemen, I beg very sincerely to thank you on behalf of my ex-colleagues, absent and present, as well as on my own account, for the very hearty and cordial manner in which you have accepted and passed the resolution. It proves to us that the course we have been compelled to take meets with your approbation, and I am sure the others will appreciate as heartily as I do the value of your support and the manner in which you have exhibited it. \n\n43 \n\n### The Resignation Policy \n\nNow, gentlemen, do not let anyone go away with the idea that this has been a hasty step; a mere ebullition of temper or of anger. On the contrary, we have exercised every patience in waiting for the solution of the question which, from time to time, it was inferred would be in the interests of the financial relief of the Colony. But the despatch of the Secretary of State has entirely dissipated any such hopes, and as no consideration has been paid to our remonstrances, to our protests, or to our suggestions, there remains for us but one final protest; and that is to withdraw from a Council, which, apparently, in the future more than even in the past, is to be made the vehicle of enforcing exorbitant demands on the Colony in utter disregard of those interests which we were placed in the Council to protect. (Cheers.) Our resignation then has been a deliberate one, and it is much to be regretted that it has not been unanimous. (Hear, hear.) Now, gentlemen, I have no right, and I have no desire, to assume that the Penang members were actuated by any other motives than those which have guided us; but when I received a letter from the senior unofficial member—who, I understand is about shortly to celebrate his jubilee in the Province—in which he agreed that, if our claims were ignored and the Government still insisted upon squeezing us, simply meant ruin to the Colony, and when he told us that he agreed with us that the only course left open was to resign in a body, I confess that I have found some little difficulty in understanding why, a few days later, he was not prepared to back up his brave words. (Ironical laughter.) This is a question which vitally affects the whole Colony. Therefore, before taking any steps at all, a letter was addressed to our colleagues in the Northern Settlement, suggesting to them the course which we proposed to follow, and asking whether they were prepared to join us. We assured them that no step would be taken until after consultation with them. We had the advantage of an interview with Dr. Brown when he passed through Singapore. For some reason or other that meeting of the unofficial members is to be regarded as strictly private, and, therefore, I can only say that the objections which Dr. Brown there urged did not appear to me to be sufficiently weighty to divert us from our course. It may be—I cannot say that if he had been earlier associated with this question, able to study all these dangers and realize all the machinations and specious excuses and half promises employed by the Secretary of State, and with which we have been put off for years, he would have been prepared to join his colleagues in their expression of opinion and assist in carrying it out to a logical conclusion. We hope that even yet circumstances may arise which will enable him to do so. (Hear, hear.) One word more. \n\n### That Despatch \n\nof the Secretary of State arrived at a most inopportune time. It was laid on the table of the Legislative Council the day before the Governor left for Penang. There was no opportunity, therefore, of discussing it, and indeed it would in the haste of the moment have been very undesirable to do so. Mr. Donaldson was on the imminent point of departure, and we were unable, therefore, longer to postpone our action. Our course of action is not in any measure due to that want of courtesy to the Governor which it has suited some people to attribute to us. I would venture to say that the men who have resigned are as incapable of discourtesy to the Governor as are those who are apparently seeking to make capital out of that suggestion. (Cheers.) There comes a time like the present when men act, and must act, at the risk of hurting official dignity. (Hear, hear.) I do not believe that the Governor would take our action as a slight; I believe that he is a high-spirited, fair-minded man, and I do not think that he will take any other view than that which we have adopted. We have, at any rate, the satisfaction of knowing that Mr. Bogaardt refused to accept re-nomination to the Council on account of this despatch. (Hear, hear.) We carry with us the support of the public bodies of the Colony, and our action has also met with the approval of people at home. (Cheers.) One more point, if you will allow me. It has been said that I was trying to make mock heroics out of this matter, and that I resigned because I am on the point of leaving. That is not so. If it had not been for this despatch I would on this occasion, as previously, have sought leave of absence from the Council during the few months that I am likely to be absent from the Colony. (Cheers.) \n\n### A Misleading Telegram \n\nWhen a telegram was received in October there was no suggestion or hint that the relief to be offered to the Colony was only temporary, and that the amount would be recovered from us during the later period of the five years. The telegram was misleading; it conveyed only half the truth. (Hear, hear.) But, gentlemen, it served the purpose of enabling the Estimates to be passed, thus adding 150,000 dollars to our burdens. (Cheers.) \n\n### The Despatch \n\nGentlemen, it is the despatch and not the telegram which must be taken as the final answer of Her Majesty's Government for an equitable adjustment of this burning and burdensome question. For years, in reply to telegrams, to despatches, and to deputations, and every effort made to elicit the contemplated policy of Her Majesty's Government, the reply has been made that \"the matter is under the careful consideration... \n\nPage 43 \n... \nPage 525", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-269 - Governor Sir Robinson & Public Offices - 1895 [12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 362188, "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": "CO129-274 - Public Offices & Others - 1896", "page_number": 413, "title": "CO129-274 - Public Offices & Others - 1896", "content_text": "den vergeettig dag.\n\nund the long have that is due to him but. addmele der well rest. be able to\n\n7\n\n70\n\nam Beliomed.

Yet I see nothing in this Bill about it. The idea that we should i take statements from the Chinose Courts is ab- sard, because there is no such thing, that is to say there is nothing resembling our English Courts. The question is, shall we give up men who have been only a month or two in the colony, to be tortured? Is such a proceeding right? You would not hud any Consul in China who would give security that the men should not 'og' tortured. I have spoken to many of the Consula about the matter.

The damage caused by this outrageous attack and robbery amounts to thousands of dollars.\n\nBefore I proceed to say something about the settlement of the imbroglio, of which I have now given a particular and true account, I take occasion to inquire briefly into the possible reasons which have led Père Julien to conduct himself more like a captain of robbers than a priest.\n\nI must, however, premise that owing to the never-ending troubles with the Catholics, Mr. Ricke, another missionary of our Mission, and I had a conference at Canton last year with three Catholic priests in the presence of the French and German Consuls, in order to find some modus vivendi. We attained to something like an agreement. Stipulations had been drawn up by us, which met the approbation of both Consuls, and partly also of the priests.\n\nOne of these stipulations runs thus: \"Whenever Catholics get at variance with heathen, Protestants shall abstain from interference, and vice versa.\"\n\nNow it must be conceded that Mr. Zahn, in his dealings with the people of Pak-kong, had little regard to this clause. He knew them to be wronged by the Catholics in a most cruel way, and thought himself entitled at least to espouse their cause to the extent of allowing them to enroll their names in his books, and he even baptized a few of them. In this he was no doubt wrong, and I do not defend him, though I think it pardonable in the case of a young and ardent missionary, whose heart cannot but burn with anger when he sees what takes place daily under the cloak of religion. Mr. Zahn has suffered for his precipitation, for he knows by sad experience what view a French priest takes of his calling and how he practises it.*\n\nIt remains for me to give an account of the settlement of this case. It goes without saying that the German Consul, as soon as he got a full report of the affair, did his utmost to get justice done to Mr. Zahn. He arranged a meeting at the German consulate between Père Julien and Mr. Zahn, in which he himself with the French Consul took part. It must also be said that the French Consul, after getting full proof of the guilt of his client, showed as much consideration.\n\nIn his memorial presented to the governor, the magistrate of Tsang-shing relates an interview he had with Mr. Julien at Pak-kong. To his face he blamed him for his behaviour, asking him why he allowed his people to rob and to remove property belonging to other people, rendering thereby men and women of several families homeless and destitute; surely, he said, this is not admonishing people to practise good. On which the teacher had only evasive and empty words, B1 以縦合教民任意搬搶以致各家男婦流離失所珠不做勸人爲著所為 該教士一支吾掩飾、\n\n9\n\nIt was not to be expected that Mr. Julien would at once plead guilty. Though he played his role as Pak-kong so unblushingly, he was not quite himself when confronted with Mr. Zahn in the presence of his Consul and the representative of Germany. His attempts to hush up and to deny the facts were disproved step by step. When he at last saw himself driven into a corner, he had recourse to an expedient so absurd and at the same time so significant, as showing the means to which the Catholics resort against us, that I cannot refrain from communicating it for the amusement of the readers of the RECORDER. Mr. Julien produced a flag with the German colours, bearing the inscription: Tai Tak-kwok Lai Yin-ni Fuk Yam-tong-chapel of the Rhenish Missionary Society of Germany! This flag had been, so Mr. Julien said, in the possession of Mr. Zahn when he was seen by the Chinese marching with flying colours. Alas, this barefaced lie at the head of the gang of robbers! which out-Heroded Herod, proved a forlorn hope. The flag produced was spick and span new, bought and manufactured. There was not even method in this bit of madness, for the manufacturers of this unfortunate flag had not even been at the pains to show by the seams that their handiwork had not been in use at all! Mr. Julien had nothing left to him except to confess that the flag had been procured and manufactured at Canton!\n\nTo be brief, after a consultation between the two Consuls, it was agreed upon:\n\n1. That Mr. Julien should apologize in the presence of the Consuls and Mr. Zahn for his misconduct, which he did, after having also confessed that he himself was the person who led his party to attack and ransack Pak-kong by night.\n\n2. That the French mission should pay $50 to Mr. Zahn as an indemnity and further return the stolen watch and other property belonging to him.\n\n3. That Mr. Julien should be transferred to another sphere of labour.\n\n4. That the robbers should be dealt with according to Chinese law; both Consuls jointly placing the whole affair in the hands of the Chinese authorities with a written undertaking not to influence them in any way.\n\nHas\n\nSince these terms were agreed upon six weeks have elapsed. We are entitled to ask, what has been done in the meantime? Has the agreement been carried into effect? Has punishment been meted out to the transgressors of the law?\n\nExcept the humiliating apology of Mr. Julien and the payment of fifty Mexican dollars, not much has been accomplished. According to a communication received by the German Consul from the French bishop at Canton, Mr. Julien has been transferred to another place far from Pak-kong, and has been replaced there by a prudent and circumspect priest. But what about the punishment of the robbers? The governor of Canton has asked the magistrate of Tsang-shing to investigate the case and to deal with the robbers accordingly.\n\n471", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-294 - Governor Sir Blake - 1899 [10-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 374109, "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": "CO129-295 - Public Offices - 1899", "page_number": 182, "title": "CO129-295 - Public Offices - 1899", "content_text": "Any further communication should be addressed to--\n\nTHE ASSISTANT SECRETARY,\n\n(FINANCE DEPARTMENT),\n\nBOARD OF TRADE,\n\n7, WHITEHALL GARDENS,\n\nLONDON, S.W.\n\nAnd the following letter and number\n\nshould be quoted:-\n\n16573\n\nTelegraphic Address.\n\nBOARD TRADE, FINANCE,\n\n(37425)\n\nAT\n\n22.517\n\nLONDON.\n\n23092\n\n&\n\nBOARD OF TRADE\n\n(FINANCE DEPARTMENT),\n\n7, WHITEHALL GARDENS,\n\nLONDON, S.

Their Excellencies hoped that I would also make inquiries on my side.\n\nI remarked that the Ministers still failed to grasp the situation. In spite of repeated warnings, grave attacks had been made on British authority, and Her Majesty's Government were very angry in consequence.\n\nHsü Ta-jên, one of the leading Ministers, heatedly refused to accept my summing up. Where and when were the attacks made? I retorted that I had already given them details at my previous interviews: that Her Majesty's Government were not in the habit of making unfounded statements, neither did they make the declaration which I had had the honour of communicating to the Tsung-li Yamên, without thorough previous consideration.\n\nThe same Minister protested that the Canton Viceroy could not have committed any act of hostility.\n\nA long discussion followed, in which the Ministers protested that they had all along done whatever they had been asked to do. The old excuses were repeated, and telegrams from the Viceroy of Canton were produced and read to the effect that the persons responsible for the resistance of which Her Majesty's Government complained were not soldiers, and that everything had been done to preserve the peace.\n\nI stated that I was in no way desirous of adding to the difficulties of the situation, but that Her Majesty's Government would instruct me to make demands in reparation for the injuries inflicted. Had the Ministers any suggestions to make?\n\nTheir Excellencies thereupon again asserted that Chinese Government soldiers had not been concerned, that the disturbances had been caused by private individuals and local mobs.\n\nI reminded them that the local officials were responsible for the maintenance of order and the prevention of attacks on British authorities.\n\nThe Tsung-li Yamên then protested against the local officials being held responsible.\n\nAs the Ministers had no suggestion whatever to make as to reparation, and could only return over the same field of argument, I felt myself reluctantly compelled to turn to other questions. I concluded by informing them that I would not fail to make your Lordship acquainted with their views and the light in which their Excellencies regarded the matter. Throughout the discussion the Tsung-li Yamên showed signs of indignation and anger.\n\nI informed your Lordship of the result of this interview on the 30th ultimo by telegraph.\n\nOn the 1st instant I received a communication from the Tsung-li Yamên, copy of which I have the honour to inclose, containing a defence of the policy adopted by the Chinese authorities and stating the case from the point of view of the Chinese Government.\n\nThis document contains nothing to throw any new light on previous occurrences and statements.\n\nOn the same day your Lordship telegraphed me, in reply to my telegram dispatched on the 30th ultimo giving an account of my interview, to the effect that unless the Chinese Government give proper consideration to our representations, Her Majesty's Government must conclude that they are ignorant of, and have no control over, the proceedings of the Viceroy of Canton and the local authorities, and that matters at issue with regard to the Hong Kong Extension Convention would have to be dealt with locally without reference to the Government of Peking.\n\nYour Lordship instructed me to make a communication to this effect to the Chinese Government.\n\nCopy of my note to the Tsung-li Yamên, dated the 1st instant, is herewith inclosed, together with copy of a despatch received by me from Mr. Mansfield, Her Majesty's Acting Consul at Canton.\n\nThis letter contains an account of an interview between the Consular authorities and the Viceroy, which took place on the 16th ultimo. Your Lordship will note that Mr. Pitzipios, who acted in place of Mr. Mansfield (absent at Hong Kong), characterizes the Viceroy's whole tone as obstinate, discourteous, and generally unsatisfactory. His Excellency offered no satisfactory explanation of the fact, which was brought to his notice, that the British officer commanding 100 men of the Hong Kong Regiment, who was sent to Tai-po-hu on the 16th ultimo to prepare for hoisting the British flag, found 1,000 Chinese troops with a battery of field artillery, who opened fire.\n\nThe Viceroy's sole remark on this important fact being brought to his notice was a denial that the aggressors were regular forces.\n\nOn the 4th instant, Sir Henry Blake telegraphed me that he had received a complaint from the villagers of Shunwan, in the new territory, that thirteen runners had come with summonses to appear before the Sanon Magistrate and had demanded fifty dollars as fees. His Excellency protested against the invasion of British territory and requested me to have the Sanon Magistrate warned that such outrages would in future involve the arrest and detention of the messengers.\n\nOn the 7th a further telegram arrived from the Hong Kong Governor stating that he had information of preconcerted plans for invasion into the leased territory by large numbers of rowdies from the turbulent districts beyond the northern boundary.\n\nI was requested to have pressure brought on the Viceroy to make him use all possible efforts to prevent such an invasion, as otherwise necessary measures of self-defence would be adopted and the Hong Kong Government would be obliged to take steps which might lead to further complications.\n\nI asked for another interview with the Tsung-li Yamên on these fresh facts being brought to my knowledge, and I telegraphed to your Lordship the information I had received from Hong Kong and ventured to propose that the policy of arranging matters locally, as far as possible, which your Lordship had previously suggested, be adopted.\n\nOn the 8th instant I again saw the Ministers and remarked that I had received no reply to the important note which I had sent to them on the 1st instant.\n\nTheir Excellencies then went into a long explanation of the action they had taken. They had immediately informed the Canton Viceroy of the substance of all my communications, and had instructed him to discuss matters in a friendly manner with the Governor of Hong Kong. The Chinese Minister had also been directed to see your Lordship personally and explain the situation.\n\nThey pointed out that the Kowloon extension had originally been granted out of friendly regard to Great Britain, that the disturbances which had occurred were quite unforeseen and unpremeditated, and that the Chinese authorities had never done anything intended to create them. No reply had been sent to me, because the Tsung-li Yamên had nothing to add to what they had stated in my previous interview and had written on the 1st instant.\n\nIf an answer was wanted they could only repeat what Lo Fêng Luh had been instructed to tell your Lordship in London, and they were awaiting the result of his communication.\n\nI said that the accounts from Kowloon continued to be grave, and I mentioned the further information which had been conveyed to me by Sir Henry Blake. If an attack were made on the leased territory from outside, the Chinese authorities would be held responsible and the consequences to China would be serious.\n\nTheir Excellencies replied that my remarks would be brought to the notice of the Viceroy of Canton at once, but they thought it would save trouble and make things easier if the Governor of Hong Kong could deal directly with the Viceroy in all such matters.\n\nI pointed out that the Governor of Hong Kong had tried to do so, but that the Viceroy had behaved discourteously and would scarcely listen to him. I enlarged on the want of politeness on the part of the Viceroy and gave instances, adding that the general attitude and discourtesy of his Excellency were largely responsible for the displeasure of Her Majesty's Government and for the demands which were about to be made.\n\nThe Ministers hoped Her Majesty's Government were not going to view what had occurred in that light and repeated their previous excuses.\n\nI explained that I was unable to see how the Chinese Government could relieve themselves of responsibility. The train-bands which made the attacks wore uniforms and carried flags, and it was incomprehensible that this could be done without the knowledge of the local Chinese authorities. The Viceroy made no serious attempts to carry out the Yamên's instructions.\n\nTheir Excellencies protested that the Viceroy could not willingly have permitted the occurrences complained of, and eventually they took refuge in the fact that he was a very old man and nearly blind.\n\nI had the honour to telegraph the substance of this interview to your Lordship on the 9th instant, and the same day Sir Henry Blake acquainted me with the fact that the Commandant of Kowloon had informed him on the 4th instant that he had still 200 native soldiers in the city and 180 in Tungchung, which is in the Island of Lantao, forming part of the additional territory.\n\n[2011-4]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-295 - Public Offices - 1899.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 375185, "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": "CO129-297 - Governor Sir Blake - 1900 [1-3]", "page_number": 12, "title": "CO129-297 - Governor Sir Blake - 1900 [1-3]", "content_text": "11\n\nanticipated that Hong Yau Wai would secretly form a cabal of evil characters and plan rebellion whereby we were almost entrapped into acting in an unfilial manner.

I have already submitted one letter for your perusal.\n\nOur Emperor has been living in undisturbed peace with all nations for over 20 years. He became acquainted with the enlightened methods of Government pursued by the West & exerted himself in selecting the best course of reform for China to adopt. As all nations know, it was his earnest wish to unite with them.\n\nI have just read of the rebellion of the Boxers & the disturbances caused by them at Tientsin & Peking, of their murdering foreigners & of their even daring to burn down the Legations: I look on with eyes dimmed with tears & gnash my teeth with anger. I feel the profoundest sympathy for the sufferers.\n\nThe true causes of this disturbance are the Empress Dowager, Prince Tuan, Jung Lu, Prince Ching, Kang Vi, Chao su Yaou, Tung Fusiang, tyrants, who follow the old customs & trust in their own conceit, intensely hate reform & disturb international peace. This was why they joined with brigands & became leaders of the I Wo Tun, & took control of everything & permitted them to harass other nations. Under pretence of enlisting them as soldiers they secretly armed them. The longer they are allowed to go on the fiercer will the flame burn & the more will be the calamity.\n\nThese tyrants have the intelligence of dogs & horses & act as violently as those birds that eat their parents", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-300 - Administrator Major Gen Gascoigne Governor Sir Blake - 1900 [7-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 377183, "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": "CO129-300 - Administrator Major Gen Gascoigne Governor Sir Blake - 1900 [7-9]", "page_number": 279, "title": "CO129-300 - Administrator Major Gen Gascoigne Governor Sir Blake - 1900 [7-9]", "content_text": "## Page 277\n\nAll over China we reformers wring our hands, tremble with anger & view with rage the tyrants sharpening their weapons.

There is no loss \n\nthere. In the case of Mr. Playfair's Bank, the National Bank of China, the original Capital was in gold, and its funds having \n\nbeen laid down here in silver, there has been a loss by shrinkage which would not have occurred had the Capital been in silver, as \n\nin the case of the Hong Kong & Shanghai Bank. \n\nIt is not denied that a silver currency here discourages Capital from being sent out from home, but the lender gets 7 1/2% on mortgages out here as against probably 3 1/2 at home and takes \n\nhis chance of a profit in exchange. He cannot complain if instead \n\nof a profit there is a loss in exchange due to a fall in silver. \n\nThe comparison of the value of stocks and shares at the end \n\nof 1901 with that of the end of 1902 is not a fair one, as 1902 \n\nwas a bad year for share dealers and values were simply unduly \n\ndepreciated through over-speculation, more especially at Shanghai, \n\nwhere Mr. Wilcox's figures were compiled. \n\nLastly I can only suppose that \"to perish in the process\" is \n\na mere figure of speech on the part of Mr. Osborne, for I know \n\nof no one who has been ruined in Hong Kong by the fall in exchange. On the contrary, the continued prosperity of Hong Kong \n\nduring this Fall has been remarkable and cannot be denied by Mr. \n\nOsborne and his supporters. That depreciated silver does not \n\nspell ruin to a Colony or Country is shown also by Mexico whose \n\ntrade returns are most favourable, although she is now the largest silver producer in the world. The same remark applies to \n\nthe Straits Settlements and the Federated Malay States, all of \n\nwhich places have thriven wonderfully with the fall in silver. \n\nTo sum up I cannot see what practical good the adoption of \n\nthe gold standard at present would do us in Hong Kong. It is \n\nlittle more than keeping our books and accounts in a new currency \n\nbut that will not add to our wealth nor ensure its stability. It \n\nmay encourage cheap money from home but that as in the case of \n\nJapan will not be an unmixed blessing.

I have a great belief in him, as a far-seeing and fair-seeing man. His brother, Colonel Nathan, saw me during the stress of the first Chinese Transvaal Coolies' selection in Tientsin in 1904 (June) and can estimate my accuracy. Naturally I do not want my friends implicated and should prefer that evidence be sought from all Ships' Masters, Captains trading, and shipping or discharging crews, in Hong Kong.\n\nThe custom seems to be accepted as natural in the East, and gives Captains ease of which this following was an example I knew of: Captain Jennings of S.S. \"Ikbal\" in June 1904 had to send home his white crew (by a blue funnel boat).

Arthur Sowerby, of Taiyuan-fu, for a meeting with me, ostensibly to adjust the difficulties arising out of the Governor's failure to grant the Syndicate's application for a permit under the Imperially-sanctioned Agreement of 1898, have so far resulted in the visit of two deputies from his Excellency Ting to Tien-tsin. Their names are Ch'en Chu Lun and Ch'en Chih Fen, the former being a Magistrate (retired) by rank, and the latter an Assistant Magistrate. These gentlemen paid me a visit on the 27th December, and I regret to say that it cannot be described as satisfactory. They had no definite proposition to put forward, although they admitted full knowledge of the stipulations communicated by me, with your Excellency's approval, for his Excellency Ting's acceptance as a necessary preliminary to the conference which his Excellency professed to desire. These stipulations were:\n\n1. His Excellency Ting must be properly authorized by the Provincial Government.\n2. His Excellency Ting must have some reasonable proposal to put forward.\n3. His Excellency Ting must arrange for the suggested meeting to take place in the Wai-wu Pu at Peking.\n\nI inclose, for your Excellency's information, a record of this matter, including an account by Dr. Gatrell, of the Syndicate, of what transpired at my interview with the deputies and in his own subsequent conversations with them.\n\nHis Excellency Ting's idea, if correctly interpreted by his delegates, seems to be that if the Syndicate abandons the whole of its rights in Shansi all will be well, and that a meeting on any other basis would be futile.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed)\n\nGEORGE BROWN.\n\n## Inclosure 3 in No. 1.\n\n**MEMORANDUM** of a Meeting of Mr. George Brown, Agent-General of the Peking Syndicate (Limited), and Ch'en Chu Lun, a District Magistrate, sent by his Excellency Ting of Shansi to talk over the matter of arranging a meeting between Mr. Brown and Ting Nieh-t'ai.\n\nTHE meeting took place at Mr. Brown's house in the afternoon of the 27th December, 1906. There were also present Mr. Chen Chih Fen, an Assistant District Magistrate, who accompanied Ch'en Chu Lun and Dr. Gatrell.\n\nMr. Ch'en commenced by saying that his Excellency Ting much regretted that he was unable to come in person; that he was exceedingly anxious to meet Mr. Brown to consult with him regarding the Peking Syndicate opening mines in Shansi, and gave as the reason for his Excellency Ting not being able to come, the fact that he had recently been commanded by an Imperial Edict to take over the duties of Provincial Treasurer. Mr. Ch'en also said that an interpreter who started with him from Shansi had had to return owing to illness. Mr. Brown said that it was a great pity Messrs. Ch'en had gone to the trouble of taking so long a journey to talk over a matter which might easily have been arranged by letter. Mr. Ch'en replied that his going to a little inconvenience was not important. He then spoke of the excitement among the people of Shansi, and quoted a native paper which said that the people of Shansi were willing to die to a man rather than agree to the Syndicate opening mines in their province. Mr. Brown asked, \"Who was responsible for the excitement?\" Mr. Ch'en replied that it arose from a Shansi man named Li, a student in Japan, having committed suicide in anger at the way in which the Government had dealt with the Peking Syndicate's request for a permit. Mr. Brown asked whether Mr. Ch'en believed such statements as the one quoted. Mr. Ch'en in an evasive manner replied that he was not acquainted with the people of Shansi, having only recently visited the province for the first time, but he considered that such statements showed how serious the situation was. Mr. Brown again asked, \"Who were the ringleaders in the recent demonstrations?\" Mr. Ch'en replied: \"It is impossible to give names, as students, merchants, and farmers were all equally excited.\" Mr. Brown asked, \"Had the Tung Chi Company had anything to do with it?\" Mr. Ch'en said, \"No,\" and Chen Chih Fen added, \"The Tung Chi Company's affairs have nothing whatever to do with the matter about which Mr. Brown is engaged.\" Mr. Brown then asked, \"From whom did the Tung Chi Company obtain their permit to mine?\" and pointed out that the Tung Chi Company could not be said to bear no relation to the Peking Syndicate, seeing that they followed the Syndicate's movements so closely. Mr. Ch'en then said, \"The Tung Chi Company has no permit, as it is a native Company mining by native methods.\" Afterwards, at Ch'en Chih Fen's suggestion, Mr. Ch'en said, \"Of course the Tung Chi Company had a licence (`chih chao`) from the Board of Commerce.\" \"Then,\" said Mr. Brown, \"if you cannot say who the ringleaders were, who were suppressed?\" This embarrassed Mr. Ch'en considerably, and he replied, \"The Governor, Provincial Treasurer, and Ting Nieh Tai all used their influence in order to maintain order and to quiet those who were excited.\" Mr. Brown remarked that he saw no evidence of ill-will upon the part of the people, and so he concluded that the opposition came from others. To this Mr. Ch'en replied evasively to the effect that all Shansi people were against the Syndicate operating mines.\n\nMr. Ch'en then asked Mr. Brown whether, seeing he had requested an interview with his Excellency Ting, he would be willing to go to Ping Tan for the purpose, and he pointed out that Ping T'an was in Shansi, and could be reached by rail. Mr. Brown replied that the request for an interview came from his Excellency Ting, and that, moreover, his Excellency Ting had signified his willingness to meet Mr. Brown either at Peking, Tien-tsin, or Pingtingchow. And, further, that Mr. Brown, believing his Excellency Ting to be in earnest, had consulted with the British Minister, who had expressed his desire that a meeting should take place, and that it should be at the Wai-wu Pu. The telegram referring to this meeting, and setting forth the three conditions, namely:\n\n| Condition | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| 1 | That his Excellency Ting be properly authorized by the Provincial Government; |\n| 2 | That his Excellency Ting have some reasonable proposal to put forward; and |\n| 3 | That his Excellency Ting arrange for the meeting to take place at the Wai-wu Pu, Peking |\n\nwas then mentioned.\n\nMr. Ch'en explained that his Excellency Ting having been appointed Provincial Treasurer made it impossible for him to leave the province. Mr. Brown asked, \"In such an important matter could not his Excellency Ting apply for special leave to go to Peking?\" Mr. Ch'en said, \"This is not practicable, but that if Mr. Brown could wait until the second or third moon of next year, his Excellency Ting might be able to leave.\" Mr. Brown then asked whether his Excellency Ting were properly authorized by the Provincial Government. Mr. Ch'en made no satisfactory reply, but again mentioned the difficulty his Excellency Ting was in, and asked Mr. Brown to go to Ping T'an. Mr. Brown replied, \"The arrangement with the British Minister that the meeting take place at the Wai-wu Pu cannot be changed.\" Mr. Brown said, further, that it appeared to him that his Excellency Ting was only delaying matters. Mr. Ch'en assured Mr. Brown that his Excellency Ting was most anxious to have the matter settled, and that his being appointed to take up the duties of Provincial Treasurer alone prevented his coming to Peking. Mr. Ch'en also asked whether Mr. Brown was properly authorized. Mr. Brown said that his authority was recognized by the British Minister and Wai-wu Pu, &c. The Chinese version of the three points above mentioned was then handed to Mr. Ch'en, who glanced through it most earnestly. It was again pointed out that these points were included in the telegram sent to Mr. Sowerby, and Mr. Brown expressed surprise that his Excellency Ting had not brought forward some reasonable proposal. Mr. Ch'en then asked, \"What is meant by and what would constitute a reasonable proposal?\" Mr. Brown said, \"Seeing his Excellency Ting had all the correspondence on the subject and the original Agreement before him, there should be no great difficulty in saying what would constitute a 'reasonable proposal,' but that whatever proposals were made, they should include the issue of the permit.\" Mr. Ch'en then asked whether in case his Excellency Ting should make proposals and send them ...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-343 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 412595, "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": "CO129-345 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "page_number": 355, "title": "CO129-345 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "content_text": "## Inclosure 2 in No. 1, July 11-21, 1907\n\n### LIST of Chinese Troops on or near the Peking-Shanhaikuan Railway Line\n\n| Date of Arrival | Place | Number of Men | Detail |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| | Pei-tai-ho | 5 | Of the 2nd cavalry regiment of the 2nd Division of the Lu Chun, detached from Fu-ning Hsien.

I explained as clearly as I could my position with regard to this case, and I told the Viceroy that, so far from having attempted to hush up the affair or shift my responsibility on to the shoulders of others, I had actually gone farther than I was perhaps legally justified in going, especially in the matter of the inquiry held at the Consulate. I pointed out to his Excellency that in March 1907, when a Portuguese watchman on board the British steam-ship \"Sainam\" had accidentally shot at and killed a Chinese passenger, the case had been tried by my predecessor, Mr. Mansfield, in his capacity as Acting Consul for Portugal and sentence passed under the Portuguese Penal Code.

He had given the police orders to restrain the newspapers from publishing inflammatory articles concerning the case, and he was prepared to issue a reassuring Proclamation. He admitted that a charge of murder, or even manslaughter, could not be maintained, but he seemed to think that, the passenger being in a very weak state, his death was hastened, if not actually caused, by the shaking administered by the watchman.\n\nHis Excellency begged me to hold another inquiry, and, if possible, inflict some slight punishment on the accused. I informed the Viceroy that I would gladly do anything I could to terminate this unfortunate controversy, but that I was unable to adopt his suggestion—in the first place, because, in the absence of any fresh evidence, I could not honestly say I thought the watchman had been the cause of the man's death; and, in the second place, because, the Portuguese Consul having claimed jurisdiction over the accused, I had no right to hold a further inquiry, much less to impose a punishment. I suggested to the Viceroy that, if he really was not satisfied with the results of the first inquiry, he should request the Portuguese Consul to hold another; and I promised his Excellency that I would use my best endeavours, in an unofficial manner, to make the investigation as thorough as possible.\n\nThe Viceroy having mentioned that some points in Dr. Davenport's evidence were not clear to him, I offered to send Dr. Davenport to the yamên to answer any question his Excellency might wish to put to him.\n\nBefore taking leave I informed the Viceroy that I was in telegraphic communication with both the Governor of Hong Kong and yourself concerning this case, and I hoped that I should shortly be in a position to report to you that the Viceroy of Canton had taken effective steps to suppress the quite unjustifiable agitation that had been started over this affair, and that the \"Fatshan\" case had been satisfactorily settled.\n\nPage 470", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-360 - Public Offices - 1909.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 421783, "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": "CO129-360 - Public Offices - 1909", "page_number": 572, "title": "CO129-360 - Public Offices - 1909", "content_text": "## the laws, and public justice cannot be denied.

Their own telegrams sometimes took days to reach Peking. In view of the delays which occur in the telegraphic system between Kashgar and Peking and which can hardly be due to the pressure of work but more probably to the inefficiency of the staff and their dilatory habits of working, would it not be well to make a serious complaint to Peking? There is only one wire and it often gets out of order and the same delay occurs in getting it mended. The Russian Consulate have their own wire to Bakhti and the frontier.\n\nI lunched at the Consulate. There seemed plenty of work to do as Chinese officials kept calling all the afternoon on business. A Chinese merchant told me in the afternoon that there was not enough business for a Chinese Government Bank here. (There is, however, 100 times more business here than at Uliassutai.) The merchant said that the Governor lent money himself, which helps to explain why there is no State Bank. The money difficulty seems a serious one in Chuguchak, for the Russian Hassacks (and it must be remembered that the trade is principally in the hands of these) refuse to take Chinese silver, however good, except at a great loss to the Chinese (as much as 60 cents for 1 tael). One tael of Chinese silver is therefore the equivalent of as much as 4s. 6d. instead of 3s.\n\nThere is one Chinese coin in circulation, the silver half-tael. It has only just been introduced and is not popular. The result of this seems to be that the road is paved for the introduction of the extensive Russian coinage in use in Urga. Russian bank-notes are already in circulation and are popular.\n\nHe is an amiable old man of 65. October 2.—I called on the Prefect of the town, long past work. He is an opium-smoker. He is a native of Hunan, and talks the dialect broadly. He has been here twenty years. I thanked him for the presents which had been made me, and explained why I could not accept them. In the afternoon, he returned my call and pressed me to dine with him; as he would take no excuses and in view of the fact that I had returned the presents which had been made me, I reluctantly consented to do so. The arrival of the reply telegram from Peking earlier than I had expected enabled me to leave Chuguchak before the banquet took place.\n\nThe Prefect told me that few foreigners visited Chuguchak. Last year, an Indian came and stayed two months in an inn doing nothing. He gave himself out as a Mahommedan missionary and subsequently left for Kashgar. A German Catholic missionary also came last year.\n\nThe Prefect said there was no Chinese school at present, but that he was going to open one soon. The Russians have a school of their own. He said that the Hassacks gave plenty of trouble. Russian subjects were sent to Bakhti for punishment, but he was not at all sure that the sentence given was carried out.\n\nOn leaving the Prefect's yamên, I looked into the guard-house at one of the gates of the city. It is a squalid building and very dirty inside. Here, an officer and three soldiers live; all are opium-smokers and old men. There are three such guard-houses in the north city. An officer gets 8 taels and a man 3 t. 60 c. a month.\n\nThe only **bad** things found are a scarlet black-edged uniform jacket and an old-fashioned gun. Every man is said to have a gun, but only one, a mouldy dilapidated one, could be produced at the guard-house. On a stand outside were hooks and old-fashioned lances and scythes. Food is deducted from each man's pay.\n\nDuring the afternoon, the telegraph clerk called and tried to appease my anger about the delay in dispatching my telegram. He told me there was only one Russian shop here, the rest being Russian-Hassack or Andijani shops.\n\nChuguchak, or Tacheng, or Tarbagatai, or Beyar, as it is still more frequently called locally, consists of two walled towns lying half a mile apart. They are connected by a long street, with a few other streets running off it, and this forms the trading portion of the settlement. North of this and east of the furthest town is the quarter where the Russian Consulate and bank, and the houses of the Russian merchants are situated.\n\nHsincheng, the most southerly of the two walled cities, is a town of the usual Chinese pattern, with a strong mud wall 25 feet high and 15 feet broad, with an additional 6 feet of battlement, pierced with shooting holes. The town is square, with a side of 500 yards. There is a gate on each side, that on the north being permanently closed to prevent the passage of evil influences. There are small towers on the walls above the gates and a small building at each corner, and also between the gate tower and each corner. There is a Chinese temple where the north gate should be, and behind it, in a strong recess, which should be the outer gate, is a small building containing rifles. The only access to this is from the top of the wall. A shallow dry moat, some 10 feet deep and 20 feet broad, surrounds the town. There are guard-houses of the pattern described at each gate-way. The interior of the city contains the Governor's yamên and a few other buildings, but a large portion of the area is covered with ruins of small houses which no one will remove and where no one will build because of evil spirits. There is abundance of water in and around the town, and the streets are lined with magnificent trees.\n\nThe city has a desolate appearance compared to that of the trading quarter outside. Here, there is also abundance of water and trees, among which are a great number of shops. The streets are full of life; carts, oxen, riders, Hassacks, Mongols, and Chinese are constantly moving about, and there is a general appearance of activity. Behind the houses, everyone grows his own vegetables and also a little tobacco and Indian corn.\n\nThe north city resembles the former except that it is smaller. It is also surrounded by a shallow dry moat. In it live the Prefect and a Colonel, and it is here that the telegraph office is to be found. There is as entire an absence of life as in the southern city.\n\n# 117\n\nOctober 3.—The Chentai (General) from Ili is expected here tomorrow to inspect the soldiers, registers, &c., and will stay a week. I called on the Colonel in the morning in his yamên in the northern city. He is a most friendly elderly man, with thirty years' service in Chinese Turkestan. He has only charge of 100 soldiers, all these living in the northern city—in his yamên indeed. During the day, they act as watchmen in the town. If he wants more men, he can get them from Lanchow, and he told me he had written to have some who were old and opium smokers replaced. It is he who has found coal in the mountains, 20 miles to the north-east. He showed me some and was as pleased with it as if it was entirely a new discovery of his own that coal could be used for burning. It is soft and bad, but he said there was abundance of it. He said a few soldiers would act as escort for me on the road. I deprecated this and said that I had found the roads as safe as any in England. He said, however, that it was the custom.\n\nAt noon, the Governor sent his carriage to the inn to fetch me to the yamên to dine. I refused to be bullied into doing what I had already refused to do, so sent my servant to explain matters and also to get some of the Chinese half-tael coins for use on the journey. They can, it seems, be only obtained in any quantity from the yamên; the Russian Bank refuses to keep them. The Governor gave the coins himself and was not above giving ten too short and including twenty which were so bad that no one wished to accept them. In addition to which, he did not give fair exchange for the Russian paper money.\n\nIn the afternoon, I continued my inspection of the defences of Chuguchak and, driving over the plain towards the north-west, crossed two small streams by good bridges and reached a fort a mile away. This was a miniature city, the length of the side of the wall being 200 yards. It was surrounded by a shallow dry moat and entered by one gate (single) facing south-west. The mud walls are 15 feet high, and on the inside is a narrow walk round, 8 feet above the ground, the rest of the wall being pierced with firing holes.\n\nInside the fort is a kind of yamên, and on either side of the court-yard approaching this are the soldiers' quarters. These consist of low mud buildings containing several rooms, so dark that it was impossible to see inside them. They resembled pictures of prison cells in the Middle Ages. The soldiers number 100. The officer of the yamên is a Major, whose pay is 50 taels a month; a soldier's is 3 taels 60 cents; a sergeant's 8 taels 60 cents. There were some half-dozen loafers about who resembled coolies but who were in reality soldiers. I asked where the others were and heard that they were at work for themselves, collecting firewood for sale or in the fields earning a little more than their pay. I asked if they wore uniform and was told yes, on parade in the morning, but never during the rest of the day. Parade consists of roll call, nothing more. Their rifles were locked up in yamên. Asked whether they ever had any rifle practice, they replied two months in the year, one in spring, one in autumn, when they (most, not all) went out after roll call. They showed me the target, a board 5 feet high and 2 wide, stuffed at the back with straw; on it were three round red spots. Each man fired three rounds. They had only one board, and it looked a very old one; it was almost free from holes. All the people left in the yard, except the sergeant, were opium sots. I asked them what they would do if an enemy came, and one man bravely answered that it was their duty to die at their post, that they would shut the gate of the fort and man the walls. They certainly would not go and help the city, which presumably must defend itself. I asked if there was any artillery and heard that the Governor has had four big guns (German, he thought) sent from Urumtsi; they were locked up in Governor's yamên.

The latest accounts indicate that the town is once more quiet, although no information has been received to say that foreigners have returned from the vessels to their houses.\n\nFrom the information supplied by the Chinese officials themselves, to which reference is made below, it is evident that an anti-foreign movement was in preparation throughout Hunan. It has partly miscarried, owing to the premature outbreak of riots in Changsha over a grievance between the people and the officials. But directly trouble had arisen the hostility of the populace is turned, as by command, against foreigners.\n\nIt will be found that the following letter from our Changsha correspondent embodies the most authoritative account that has yet been received of the riots in Changsha :-\n\nA Graphic Account.\n\nChangsha, April 19, 1910. Wednesday, the 13th April, to Friday, the 15th April, were days that will long be remembered in Changsha. The riots will be marked from the fact that a governor's yamên has been sacked and burnt, and a very extensive series of looting and burning of foreign property has been carried out as almost a by-play of the main aim of the riot.\n\nThat aim was to cheapen rice. It is the old, old story that our history books show us as occurring in the lands of the Mediterranean, and that Carlyle has so picturesquely taught us to connect with the French Revolution—a hungry mob is dangerous. Rice has been, of course, dearer and dearer on account of the Yang-tsze floods. For the same reason the caters of rice have been more numerous, for the refugees from Hupeh have been numbered by the thousand. The forbidding of export from Changsha had not the desired effect of dropping prices—if that effect was really desired by those who forbade the export. Promises of opening Government granaries were not fulfilled, and as the prices crept up disappointment and anger grew. On Wednesday night a rise from 82 cash a-pint to 84 cash provoked the gathering of an angry mob. Some four or five officials were sent to speak good words. But one of the speakers resorted to that last refuge of a weak man—bluster and bluff: \"Rice is not so dear here as at Hankow or Canton, or in foreign countries.\" A howl of derision greeted the untimely speech. \"Seize!\" shouted the official, and the order was left-handedly obeyed by the seizing of him on the part of the mob, instead of the seizing of the shouters by his runners.\n\nThe official, who was of no less rank than a taotai, was dragged by the mob right through the city to the governor's yamên with a crowd that grew rapidly. Soon after 8 P.M. all the immense space in front of the yamên was packed with people, and the first two series of doors and wooden divisions had been burst in. Messages were handed to and fro, until at last the military were called into action. There was certainly some stabbing with bayonets—that deaths resulted is both asserted and denied. At any rate, messengers and fragments of the crowd broke off and scattered in all directions. Then followed beating of gongs and shouting of orders. Every house door was set open and every lamp lighted. The city gates were all shut.\n\nThe Work of Destruction.\n\nThe crowds that went south divided into two main streams. The western one reached the Wesleyan Methodist Mission, perhaps a little earlier than the eastern one would reach the Norwegian. The Methodist Mission door had not been opened at the first gong beating, so it was hammered at by the crowd. As soon as it was opened attention was concentrated on the buildings rented by the Imperial Post Office and the Imperial Bank a little further on in the same street. The post office door was too substantial for such weapons as the crowd possessed. Not so the bank doors and windows. Showers of shattered glass were followed by showers of broken tiles, as the mob leaders got on to the roof. One huge stroke, followed by a loud yell, announced that the doors were burst in. Then there was comparative stillness on the night air. It was only comparative, and it only lasted while the maddened crowd could retrace the 50 or 100 yards back to the mission. The mission windows and lamps followed after the manner of the bank, and the largest chapel in the city within two minutes was a wreck. The missionaries, who had all got dressed, were able to leave quietly by the back door, while the crowd streamed across the lawn and looted, and made a bonfire of the loot on the lawn. The missionaries—five ladies and four men—walked quite unmolested through the 200 yards of back streets between the compound and the city gate. Then there was a delay of twenty minutes or so while the keys were being fetched. The refugees were taken into the shop that is used by the guard. While they were there a police-box was smashed up; but no attempt was made to molest them. The gates were opened, and the missionaries went at once on to the C. N. steam-ship \"Siangtan.\" News was taken to the British consul (whose temporary consulate has been outside the gates, with telephonic communication to the city).\n\nWith the missionary in the house, telling the tale of the looting and burning, the Customs taotai telephoned out that the premises were adequately guarded!\n\nThe eastern crowd had first reached the Norwegian Mission. There the same story of looting of houses and escape of missionaries was repeated. The Norwegians were in a much less convenient position for reaching safety. They spent some hours on the city wall, and were well cared for by the official in charge at the North Gate. He himself helped in the cooking of some refreshments.\n\nThe nearest foreign neighbours were the doctor of the Yale Mission and his family and one of the professors at the Government College with his family. Their house was rented, and was overlooked by the crowd. The two families were received first into the house of a Chinese gentleman, and after dawn made their way through the Eastern Gate to a camp under the command of a friendly colonel.\n\nNot much farther on was the China Inland Mission compound. There the crowd made rapid destruction, but once more the missionaries escaped.\n\nAs the day wore on refugees came from one place and another, until every European and American had left the city.\n\nAbout 11 A.M. the mob fired the governor's yamên, and for the rest of the day volumes of smoke rose up as building after building caught fire. Rumour was busy; the governor had been murdered, had committed suicide, was in hiding. Assuredly there was but little space for him to hide in his own extensive compound by nightfall. At 2 o'clock a column of smoke rose over the Norwegian Mission, and a little later another marked the site of the China Inland Mission. There was no mistaking that mob rule was the only rule in Changsha.\n\nThat night the river side was attacked; the custom-house not held by the mob to be Chinese property; the wharves and godowns of Messrs. Butterfield and Swire and Jardine and Matheson were all burned down. So was the Catholic Mission outside the North Gate, the Japanese consulate inside the city, and the Normal College outside the South Gate.\n\nOn the Steamers.\n\nDuring the night the C.N. steam-ships \"Kian\" and \"Siangkiang\" arrived, and early on Friday morning a number of the ladies and others left for Hankow by the I.-C. steam-ship \"Changwo.\" The three British steamers had been chartered by the consul on behalf of the Government. Still, that does not alter the indebtedness of all on board to the great courtesy of the captains, officers, and not least the heavily overworked staff of Chinese servants.\n\nThe boats were first anchored about a mile or two below the city and were able to see and were seen by the looting crowds. Some of the best of the military officials—men who had some claim to be listened to, if only on account of their great help in guiding parties of refugees to safety—hazarded the opinion that the military would more quickly regain control if the boats would drop 10 miles or so further down out of sight. That there was a turn in the tide was shown by the fact that two looters caught in setting fire to a Chinese-owned hotel (which was patronised by foreigners) had been promptly bayonetted and hanged. So the consul gave orders for our boats to get out of sight.\n\nThe Japanese community (with the exception of one or two who could not be reached) had gathered in the compound of the \"Nisshin Kisen Kaisha,\" and with the help of 200 soldiers—who had been drilled by Japanese instructors—held the compound safe and sound. They were now all on board the \"Siangkiang.\"\n\nOn Saturday morning, the \"Siangtan\" and \"Siangkiang,\" both crowded with foreign passengers, left for Hankow, and the \"Kian\" stayed on alone. During the day reassuring reports came from some of the interior cities connected by telegraph with Changsha. But at 10 P.M. the whole missionary community at Siangtan, with the exception of two gentlemen, arrived on board the governor's tender which had\n\n[2751 2-4]\n\nD\n\n218", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-372 - Public Offices - 1910.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 429813, "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": "CO129-374 - Public Offices & Others - 1910", "page_number": 5, "title": "CO129-374 - Public Offices & Others - 1910", "content_text": "have the advertisement as aforesaid\n\nwiss withdrawn\n\nin\n\ntwo casesecution\n\nthe jammal\n\nFull\n\nlur Benridge\n\nwith\n\nwirken\n\n& then have Home Casting that the for Lahora lores\n\nsir,\n\nthanks\n\nWi- must also will me Somerset House\n\nthe Customs habraben,\n\nX\n\n1211.\n\nA\n\nAcc\n\n14/1\n\nfir Collins\n\ncia não\n\nreport\n\nthat 2\n\nHorley\n\nSurrey\n\nRocke's address in\n\n?

Both junk-\nmasters in question at once professed their willingness to pay \nand took out licences forthwith. Then I had the whole crowd \ngathered in the bows of the launch and \"talked doctrine\" to them \nafter the Chinese fashion. I mentioned the incident of the 17th \ninstant and stated that, on hearing of it, Your Excellency had \nbeen full of anger and indignation and had thought of punishing \nthe offenders most severely: but that your kind heart had suggest-\ned to you the possibility that the Nam O natives were only stup-\nid fishermen and that they had offended from excess of ignorance \n: that, therefore, you had directed me to visit them and ex-\nplain that it was imperative that, if they used British waters, \nthey should comply with British law, and that the British \nofficials and British water-police must be respected and obeyed \nby them at all times.\n\nNext I ordered the 2 men who had previously \nresisted the launch to kneel down before me in the middle of the \nother fishermen and kotow their apology. They at once did so; and \nwhile they were on their knees, I told them that they had deserved \nto be taken to Taipo and sent to Gaol: but that for this once \nthey would be pardoned on account of their abnormal stupidity: \nif, however, they again offended, their junk would be seized and \nthey themselves severely punished.\n\nWhen this \"doctrine-talk\" was over, I sent \nthe men back to their junks and we parted in good humour and, I \nthink, with complete appreciation of the situation on both sides.\n\nWhile we were at anchor in Nam O harbour, a \njunk rowed in with a fresh catch of fish; we hailed her and she \nat once came alongside the launch. Mr. Orme, Mr. McElderry, Mr. \nChi and the crew of the launch all bought fish for their own \nconsumption, and the junk did a good business, incidentally taking out a licence.

It has been proved that, by the use of the colour-screen, negatives can be produced giving the sensations of the three primary colours, and these can be combined to leave a fairly harmonious picture; but it has been well stated that the results obtained by superposed pigmented bichromated gelatine (successively yellow, red, and blue), printed from colour-selection negatives at very uncertain and often far from satisfactory.\n\nOne of the chief features which distinguish the new polychromide process, patented by Mr. Acon Hamburger, of the Dover Street Studios, from many others is the use of a mechanism which enables the three plates to be taken simultaneously at a single exposure. In order to overcome certain difficulties inherent in this principle, Hamburger employs both reflection and refraction, and he has succeeded in so balancing the intensities of each that the perfect colour-stone rendering is obtained. A scale of shades of the standard colours has been prepared, in which the yellow inclines slightly to orange, the red to crimson, and the blue to green; that is to say, in lieu of being true primaries, the tints are in each case somewhere merged the one into the other. These shades are standardized, so that by means of the special developer used in the camera and the sensitized printing paper, with the above standard tints, any photographer should be able to attain accurate results. Two plates not on three are employed, each is sensitized to photograph one colour only.\n\nThe plate and the film are put together into one slide, with the emulsions in contact, the film thus serving the purpose of screening the plate. A print is made from the blue negative upon a rapid gelatine paper, which is turned into the yellow image. Prints in gelatine containing double salts are prepared from the other two negatives and transferred to a temporary support of glass. They are then superposed on the original yellow print by stripping. Though so far Mr. Hamburger has worked only by the aid of artificial flashlight, using a special compound to impart the requisite active properties, he does not anticipate obstacles in adapting the process to ordinary daylight. The camera takes the three pictures through a single lens and a single shutter, and it is found possible to have the register of the pictures perfectly accurate. The success of this process appears to depend upon the skill with which the spectrum has been split up, so that there is either no gap nor overlap, and therefore no colour is either lost or doubled. Specimens of the results yielded by the new process include not only serious portraits, in which the delicate flesh tints, the hair, and the minute details on the costume of the sitters are reproduced in complete harmony and in true colours, but also copies of paintings by the Old Masters in which the values due to low tone and false tints are successfully overcome.\n\n## NEWS OF THE WORLD\n\n[Telegrams from London]\n\n**The King of Greece**\n\nReuter's correspondent at Athens wires that an eye-witness of the scene said that the King was standing at the corner of Aghistas Street, which is near the Police Headquarters, when an assassin rushed out of a hiding place and drew a big revolver from close quarters at His Majesty.\n\nThe Aide-de-Camp, Colonel Frangoulis, drew his revolver, whereupon the assassin turned round and fired twice upon the Colonel.\n\nTwo Cretan gendarmes then dashed up and arrested the assassin, who offered no resistance.\n\nColonel Frangoulis ran to the King, thinking His Majesty had not been hit, but found that he had fastened to the ground and was only half conscious.\n\nColonel Frangoulis raised the King in his arms, but His Majesty did not utter a word.\n\nSome notes and cartridges were found on the assassin.\n\nReuter's correspondent at Athens says the man refuses to speak except to say, \"I will speak in the presence of the King.\"\n\n**King George V**\n\nThe King, accompanied by Queen Alexandra, visited Queen Mary at Marlborough House.\n\nThe outrage has aroused worldwide condolences and universal expressions of horror.\n\nA dispatch from Salonika to \"The Times\" regarding the assassination of the King of Greece says the King was in the habit of walking out every afternoon with a single servant, refusing requests made by his advisers to permit the presence of guards.\n\nYesterday, he was talking happily of the war and the successes of the Greek army as a long delayed triumph to his reign and said: \"Tomorrow I pay a final visit to the Dreadnought Goeben. It is with happiness and contentment that a German battleship should honour the Greek King at Salonika.\" These proved to be His Majesty's last words, for at that moment the assassin...\n\nThe Aide-de-Camp, Colonel Frangoulis, seized the hands of the assassin, which was poised for a second shot. Covering his Royal master with his body, Colonel Frangoulis grabbed the assailant by the throat and held him fast till soldiers came to his aid.\n\nThe English public are profoundly affected by the tragedy, which is an additional bereavement in Queen Alexandra's family. There were many references to the tragedy by public men at meetings held yesterday, and last night, wide pages of the papers were devoted to tributes.\n\nReuter's correspondent at Athens says that all Greece is grief-stricken. The Prince George and others gently broke the news to the Queen, who fainted several times.\n\nReuter's correspondent at Athens also reports that it appears that the assassin is weak-minded, and a victim of alcohol. He is a native of Greece. He was twice dismissed from a school where he was employed as an attendant and he petitioned the King, who referred the matter to the proper quarter, which rejected the petition.\n\n## British Affairs\n\nIn introducing the Army Estimates in the House of Commons, Col. Seely, Minister of War, dwelt on the extraordinary apprehension regarding aviation. He pointed out that the officers' never allowed performances to be published, and consequently remarkable achievements went unnoticed.\n\nHe affirmed that they did not possess any Zeppelins because they were not required.\n\nIt was decided to have some transportable dirigibles, and they would also possess 14 aeroplanes by May. Publicity were obviously marked for an expeditionary remount, and they could not reinforce the Egyptian garrison or the Indian troops. They had obtained a type of aeroplane superior to that of any nation. The difficulty was in regard to the engine, as he was offering a prize in this connection with the promise of a large purchase.\n\nThe Minister, Mr. H. Samuel (Postmaster General) and Sir Rufus Isaacs (Attorney General) obtained judgment with costs against the French newspaper \"La Muflin\" for libel in connection with statements published relating to the Marconi affair. The newspaper admitted the statements to be false and apologized.\n\nCounsel for the defence unreservedly accepted the denials of the Ministers that they were in any way concerned with dealings in Marconi shares.\n\nDelous Wattoit, Unionist Free Trader, has been returned to Parliament for the Kendal Division. The polling was:\n\n| Candidate | Votes |\n| --- | --- |\n| Col. Weston (U.) | 3,241 |\n| Mr. Somervell (C) | 1,680 |\n| | 581 |\n\nUnionist Majority\n\nMr. Bone, in addressing the members of the Manchester Unionist Association, said that Kendal, in electing Colonel Weston, who refused to support the policy announced by the Party leaders, really voted no confidence in the late Government. If the party refused to act unitedly and would act following the leader, it was his duty to give place to another; and he would perform that duty if circumstances arose.\n\nThe result of the Houghton-le-Spring by-election was:\n\n| Candidate | Votes |\n| --- | --- |\n| Mr. Wing (L) | 930 |\n| Mr. Richardson (C) | 4,807 |\n| Mr. Modles (L) | 4,185 |\n\nThe motion by Mr. Harold Smith for a reduction of the Home Office vote was defeated by 224 votes to 100.\n\nThe two Irish prisoners who had been sentenced for five days in Cold Bath Fields prison and to whom shamrocks were sent down on St. Patrick's Day have been rescued.\n\nFrom Port Said, it is reported that the steamer \"Melen\" has shipped £50,000 in gold for Singapore.\n\n## Affairs in China\n\nThere is much published in the Russian press regarding impending war between Russia and China. This is partly based on reported Chinese preparations for an advance on Urga, in defiance of Russia.\n\nIt is announced from St. Petersburg that M. Mueller, the Consul General at Tabriz, is proceeding to Urga as Consul-General, the consulate there being upgraded to a Consulate-General.\n\n## ENDER ENTIRELY NEW SIGN ON KHEN\n\n**EXCELLENT COLON**\n\nModerate Rates\n\nM.

The same objection is made to the preamble of this article as has been raised to Article II of Section 1.\n\nArticle I. This article, if allowed to stand as drafted, may be construed by the Japanese as giving them the exclusive right to act as political, financial and military advisers to China, thus putting the Republic under Japanese tutelage and destroying her sovereign rights.\n\nSuch a situation could not be tolerated, in view of the large share of trade with China held by the other Treaty Powers and their great proportion of the national debt, to say nothing of the important British interests involving large capital sums invested in China which would be at stake.\n\nArticle II. If granted similar opportunity must be given to other nationalities.\n\nArticle III. The same objection raised as Article I of this section applies to this Article.\n\nArticle IV. The terms of this Article are not, it would appear, in accordance with \"the most favoured nation\" clause of our treaty with China.\n\nArticles V and VI. If the Japanese Government are permitted to construct the lines mentioned in Article V, they will be able to control the greater part of the Southern side of the Yangtse from the sea to Hankow, the valuable district on the shores of the Poyang lake, and thence through the whole length of Kiang-si to Swatow.

Another request of the British, says the report, is that the Peking Government should recognise the Cazdell collieries contract made with Mu Yung-hai, the discredited Kwangsi Tuchun of Kwangtung. Continuing, the report states that the Peking Government is willing to grant all these concessions provided Hongkong will aid warlord Lu Yung-ting of Kwangsi in the campaign to drive out the present authorities in Canton. A telegram is reported to have been sent to the Kwangsi Warlord to the effect that foreign aid is forthcoming and he is urged to start the campaign against Kwangtung immediately. The intention of the Hongkong Government to extend the concession to Whampao is to convert that place into a great treaty Port which, embracing Hongkong, will wield considerable influence to the development of British trade in South China.\n\nThe vernacular press further states that so great is the anger of the Chinese at these reports that some Chinese urged a general boycott on the part of Hongkong so as to paralyse the commerce of the British Colony.\n\nPage 210\nPage 211", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-471 - Public Offices - 1921.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 490363, "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": "CO129-472 - Others - 1921", "page_number": 55, "title": "CO129-472 - Others - 1921", "content_text": "# HONG KONG\n\n**REC**\n\nREL 25 APR 21\n\n## India Offer 1921\n\n23 Apr\n\nLast previous Paper: `15442`\n\nFurry 1998q Opinn\n\nThe Cooper Corporation waith fort of Ander Mr. Collin Grindle.

On the other hand it should be borne in mind that the Colony will be losing interest on their purchase money while the land is being developed, and also expending capital on building on the new site to be given to War Department before they obtain possession of the old War Department site.\n\nTaking into account relationships between the War Department and the Colonial Government it is recommended that the view of the latter be accepted.\n\nThe Colonial Government state \"The acceptance of the figures would not bind the War Department to the surrender of the land but such areas as it gives up would be debited against the Colony at the rates shown\".\n\n(3) The Colonial Government points out that the Military Lands Account has hitherto been regarded only as a record of transactions involving no cash payments and suggests that it would be more convenient to open a special account in connection with this scheme. No objection is seen to this proposal and is recommended for acceptance.\n\n(4) agreed to.\n\n(6) The Colonial Government states that\n\n\"Under date the 28th September 1921, the War Office informed the Colonial Office that the sum of £114,317-18-9 was owing to this Government on account of percentage over-paid", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-475 - Governor Sir Stubbs & Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1922 [5-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 493247, "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": "CO129-477 - Public Offices - 1922", "page_number": 155, "title": "CO129-477 - Public Offices - 1922", "content_text": "na\n\n7\n\nmatters, appointed to carry them into execution. The leading place in the committee is taken by six members, who are styled \"representatives,\" and include prominent local persons such as Chang Lan ch'ing, manager of the Bank of China, Tsao Yao ching and Han Chen chih, chairman and vice-chairman respectively of the Chamber of Commerce, and three members of the gentry.\n\nOn the 19th June the representatives addressed a petition to the Taoyin for transmission to the military and civil governors advocating the proposals made at the meeting. A copy of this petition in Chinese, together with translation forms, is enclosed in this despatch (Enclosure 7).\n\nThe Taoyin then addressed a petition, which is undated, to the provincial authorities, making eight proposals of measures necessary for the restoration of Ichang and the preservation of order in future. A copy of this, with translation of the relevant important parts forms Enclosure 8. The Taoyin proposed that (suggestion) only a small number of troops should be stationed here; that (suggestion 3) special barracks should be constructed for them so that they should not live, as now, in all quarters of the town; that (suggestion 4) the Chinese Government should take the initiative in proposing the laying-out of a settlement before it is extorted from them by foreign Powers, after which the question of the adoption of suitable regulations, such as those of Wuhu or Chefoo, could be discussed.\n\nOn receipt of your telegram No. 8 of the 22nd June, I requested Messrs. Chen, Ma and Huang, who had been elected members of the committee, to call on me, saying that I merely wished to ascertain from them what progress was being made in their settlement scheme, as they had come to see me on the subject before.\n\nAfter some conversation, I said that a settlement would be useless if soldiers continued to be stationed here; there would be a constant danger of the native garrison mutinying, as they had done before, and at such a time they would certainly not respect the settlement unless a sufficient foreign guard were here to keep them out. We could not count on always having gunboats able to put a landing force ashore which would be sufficient for the purpose.\n\nThe only alternative would be for the foreign Powers to keep a permanent international garrison in Ichang. The best course would be for the Chinese residents themselves to demand that no native troops whatever should be stationed in Ichang or within a radius of 100 li from it; if it was necessary to send troops through Ichang they should not be allowed to spend more than thirty-six hours here, and that only on the side of the river opposite the town. I instanced the danger Ichang had run when the Patung troops were transferred, as reported in my despatch No. 26 of the 8th July. If we had no troops within 100 li of Ichang, the place would no longer be in danger, and even a settlement would not be a necessity. I told them that the most important point to press for was to have no troops here, and that the question of having a settlement was subsidiary to it.\n\nMr. Huang, I would mention, has been sent to Peking in connection with the settlement proposals, so only Mr. Chen and Mr. Ma were present at the interview. Both cordially agreed in the views I had expressed, and promised to discuss them with the other members of the committee, the Chamber of Commerce and other persons interested, after which they would address another petition to the Taoyin on the subject. I suggested the desirability of holding public meetings to discuss the subject, and impressed on them the necessity of prominent members of the gentry and merchants supporting the movement.\n\nPrior to this interview I had expressed the above views to the agents of Jardine, Matheson and Co., Butterfield and Swire and the Asiatic Petroleum Company, and, finding that they agreed with me, asked them to impress them as coming from themselves on their compradores, who are all members of the Chamber of Commerce. I also spoke in a similar sense to British, American and Belgian (Catholic) missionaries, asking them to express the same views to prominent Chinese with whom they come into contact.\n\nThe day after the interview the Taoyin called, saying that he had been summoned to Wuchang to discuss the restoration of Ichang; he asked how I thought the security of the place could best be maintained in future. I said that I understood Chinese were talking of a settlement, but that this would be useless so long as troops were stationed here, and expressed the same views as I had done to Messrs. Ch'en and Ma. It then transpired that the latter had reported my interview with them to him, and he said that he was in cordial agreement with my views. He had already sent a petition to the Governor, copy of which he promised to let me have (copy enclosed), suggesting that only a small number of troops be stationed here. I asked if he would advocate none at all being here, to which he replied that that was a difficult thing for him, as a Chinese official, to do but if the representatives of the gentry and merchants sent in such a petition to him, he would forward it to the Governor without comments of his own.\n\nSome days later Mr. Chen called and told me that my views had been discussed by the committee and with other persons concerned, including the Taoyin. All without exception cordially approved of them, and a further petition, copy of which he would send me, would be addressed to the Taoyin on the subject.\n\nAfter much pressure and delay, I have received a copy of this petition (copy enclosed), which is very disappointing, as the suggestion that no troops be stationed here only appears in the usual heading describing the contents of the document. In the body of the petition the writers only venture to say that \"the present reduced number of troops would seem to be sufficient,\" and end up with the prayer that \"for the present no large number of troops be stationed here.\"\n\nWhilst Mr. Chen told me that this petition had actually been sent to the Taoyin, he has since written to say that it cannot be regarded as having been presented officially. The draft was shown him, and he had suggested their delaying sending it in until he had discussed the matter verbally with the Tuchun during his visit to Wuchang. Whilst the Taoyin is, I think, in favour of the proposal, he wants to make quite sure that it will be safe for him personally to send it in before actually doing so. The attitude of the gentry and merchants, all of whom cordially support the idea, is the same, and I doubt if it will be possible to get them to take any greater initiative or to state their wishes more clearly than they have already done. All fear the future vengeance of the Tuchun or other authorities if they make any unpalatable proposals, and would much prefer that the foreign Powers should make the demand and get the odium for doing so, whilst they will reap the benefits and be the first to heap us with obloquy for the step whenever such action suits them. Rather than incur the anger of the Tuchun they will cease their efforts to obtain the removal of the troops or a settlement altogether.\n\nMr. Chen and others concerned will not take any further step in the matter until they hear the result of the Taoyin's visit to Wuchang.\n\nThe instructions given to the Commissioner of Customs, whom I duly consulted, were to support the proposal, but, as a Chinese Government employee, to keep in the background, and all that he has done is to express casually a favourable opinion regarding the project to a few of the leading Chinese in mercantile circles.\n\nThe Rev. Mr. Kearney, with whom I discussed the matter, called a general meeting of the foreign community, at which the resolutions forwarded herewith were passed unanimously. Some twelve or thirteen persons only attended this meeting, but these included persons of British, American, Belgian, Dutch, Swedish and Japanese nationalities.\n\nCopies have been sent to the Japanese consul and myself with the request that we transmit them, with our support, to our respective Ministers. Those of American, Belgian, Dutch and Swedish nationality undertook to forward copies to their respective consuls at Hankow for the same purpose.\n\nPublicity is also being given to the matter by sending copies to various newspapers.\n\nAccording to Hankow native newspapers, Wang Chan-yuan has telegraphed to the Premier stating that the question of a settlement at Ichang cannot be considered. The most important matter to be dealt with is that of the foreign claims, which will be settled in Hupei if possible. If not, he will refer them to Peking.\n\nAnother, presumably inspired, paragraph in the newspapers states that all natives of Ichang resident in other places are opposed to the establishment of a settlement here; those in Ichang in favour of it are represented as being only a few who are closely connected with foreigners.\n\nThe chief point seems to me to be the neutralisation of the port; once that is gained a settlement does not appear to be an absolute necessity. In this connection I would refer you to the remarks contained in my despatch No. 28 of the 27th December last. Ichang has progressed without a settlement ever since it was opened, and can presumably go on in the same way.\n\nA settlement would not afford any more protection than we have at present if soldiers remain in the neighbourhood, as it could be overrun by them at any time, as was done in November last and on the 4th June, unless gunboats able to land from 70 to 100 men are permanently here or an international garrison of regular foreign troops to a similar number is kept in Ichang.\n\nI would mention that the foreign community of Ichang is too small to make it possible to raise any adequate volunteer force.\n\nIn stating above that a settlement is not an absolute necessity, I do not wish to...\n\nC 2 [7844 ƒ-3]\n\n155\n\n11", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-477 - Public Offices - 1922.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 493253, "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": "CO129-477 - Public Offices - 1922", "page_number": 161, "title": "CO129-477 - Public Offices - 1922", "content_text": "7\n\nG\n\nmatters, appointed to carry them into execution.

I asked if he would advocate none at all being here, to which he replied that that was a difficult thing for him, as a Chinese official, to do but if the representatives of the gentry and merchants sent in such a petition to him, he would forward it to the Governor without comments of his own.\n\nSome days later Mr. Chen called and told me that my views had been discussed by the committee and with other persons concerned, including the Taoyin, without exception cordially approved of them, and a further petition, copy of which he would send me, would be addressed to the Taoyin on the subject.\n\nAfter much pressure and delay, I have received a copy of this petition (copy enclosed), which is very disappointing, as the suggestion that no troops be stationed here only appears in the usual heading describing the contents of the document. In the body of the petition the writers only venture to say that the present reduced number of troops would seem to be sufficient,\" and end up with the prayer that \"for the present no large number of troops be stationed here.\"\n\nWhilst Mr. Ch'en told me that this petition had actually been sent to the Taoyin, he has since written to say that it cannot be regarded as having been presented officially. The draft was shown him, and he had suggested their delaying sending it in until he had discussed the matter verbally with the Tuchun during his visit to Wuchang. Whilst the Taoyin is, I think, in favour of the proposal, he wants to make quite sure that it will be safe for him personally to send it in before actually doing so. The attitude of the gentry and merchants, all of whom cordially support the idea, is the same, and I doubt if it will be possible to get them to take any greater initiative or to state their wishes more clearly than they have already done. All fear the future vengeance of the Tuchun or other authorities if they make any unpalatable proposals, and would much prefer that the foreign Powers should make the demand and get the odium for doing so, whilst they will reap the benefits and be the first to heap us with obloquy for the step whenever such action suits them. Rather than incur the anger of the Tuchun they will cease their efforts to obtain the removal of the troops or a settlement altogether.\n\nMr. Chen and others concerned will not take any further step in the matter until they hear the result of the Taoyin's visit to Wuchang.\n\nThe instructions given to the Commissioner of Customs, whom I duly consulted, were to support the proposal, but, as a Chinese Government employee, to keep in the background, and all that he has done is to express casually a favourable opinion regarding the project to a few of the leading Chinese in mercantile circles.\n\nThe Rev. Mr. Kearney, with whom I discussed the matter, called a general meeting of the foreign community, at which the resolutions forwarded herewith were passed unanimously. Some twelve or thirteen persons only attended this meeting, but these included persons of British, American, Belgian, Dutch, Swedish and Japanese nationalities.\n\nCopies have been sent to the Japanese consul and myself with the request that we transmit them, with our support, to our respective Ministers. Those of American, Belgian, Dutch and Swedish nationality undertook to forward copies to their respective consuls at Hankow for the same purpose.\n\nPublicity is also being given to the matter by sending copies to various newspapers.\n\nAccording to Hankow native newspapers, Wang Chan-yuan has telegraphed to the Premier stating that the question of a settlement at Ichang cannot be considered. The most important matter to be dealt with is that of the foreign claims, which will be settled in Hupei if possible. If not, he will refer them to Peking.\n\nAnother, presumably inspired, paragraph in the newspapers states that all natives of Ichang resident in other places are opposed to the establishment of a settlement here; those in Ichang in favour of it are represented as being only a few who are closely connected with foreigners.\n\nThe chief point seems to me to be the neutralisation of the port; once that is gained a settlement does not appear to be an absolute necessity. In this connection I would refer you to the remarks contained in my despatch No. 28 of the 27th December last. Ichang has progressed without a settlement ever since it was opened, and can presumably go on in the same way. A settlement would not afford any more protection than we have at present if soldiers remain in the neighbourhood, as it could be overrun by them at any time, as was done in November last and on the 4th June, unless gunboats able to land from 70 to 100 men are permanently here or an international garrison of regular foreign troops to a similar number is kept in Ichang.\n\nI would mention that the foreign community of Ichang is too small to make it possible to raise any adequate volunteer force.\n\nIn stating above that a settlement is not an absolute necessity, I do not wish to...\n\n[7844 ƒ-3]\n\nC 2\n\n161", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-477 - Public Offices - 1922.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 493513, "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": "CO129-477 - Public Offices - 1922", "page_number": 421, "title": "CO129-477 - Public Offices - 1922", "content_text": "concerned with freeing \n\nthe Imper, fove from liability \n\nAuch \n\nAccording \n\nto principle, in \n\nthe presens \n\nC \n\nthe fort.

Honam on Thursday. Also on the ship was another newspaperman and they both returned to Hongkong yesterday after going through adventures which might easily have proved terribly serious.\n\nTo be followed down the whole length of the Canton Bund pursued by a crowd of thousands of strikers calling for their lives and then to be imprisoned in a fetid, filthy Chinese prison cell shackled in chains for 17 hours with fourteen other prisoners, all Chinese, are some of the things which happened to the people concerned, who were Mr. J. S. Cox of the Hongkong Daily Press and Mr. F. Oliver of the S. C. M. Post.\n\nThey were taken by strikers after going ashore to get off a cable to Hongkong announcing the safe arrival of the s.s. Honam, and were only released on Saturday morning when Consular officials arrived at the Staff Headquarters of the Whampoa Cadets to convey them back to Shameen.\n\nA notable thing about the incident is the pains to which the Cadet officers and officials put themselves in the order to protect the two journalists from the anger of the mob. But for that assistance it appears very doubtful whether Messrs. Cox and Oliver would have arrived back safely or even alive.\n\nThe whole story is told below by Mr. Oliver who, with his colleague, returned to Hongkong yesterday by the Honam.\n\n### On Shameen\n\nThe ship arrived at 3.45 and within the next quarter of an hour we were landed on Shameen by a Customs launch. We spent two hours there, making enquiries as to means of cabling facilities reaching Canton and returning to Shameen. The difficulties were explained to us but our obvious duty appeared to be to get a cable off and we were told pretty authoritatively that in daylight we would not be molested. A motor boat landed us at 6.30 p.m. at Customs wharf, promising to return at 7.30.\n\n### In Canton\n\nOn the Bund a dozen rickshaws clamoured to be hired and we were generally received in friendly fashion. We rode down the Bund which had every appearance of normal business. We reached the Chinese Y.M.C.A. and went in to ask for information. An English speaking Chinese wrote in Chinese the address of the cable office. Armed with this we drove back to the Post Office and there hired a coolie to guide us down the narrow streets of Sai-kwan. There we were treated to friendly glances and were directed by a well-to-do Chinese who spoke English. Our cables were handed in and we were promised that they would go without fail. Our coolie conducted us back the way we had gone and we got back to Customs Wharf at 8.15. All the time we had been treated well and no possibility of trouble had entered our heads at all.\n\nThe promised motor boat was not there which, as we were 45 minutes late, was not to be wondered at. We imagined the owner thought we had got a boat back to the s.s. Honam.\n\n### At the English Bridge\n\nOutside on the Bund we tried to get a sampan but failed, all the boat people being afraid to take us either to the s.s. Honam or to Shameen. The question of returning then began to assume a serious aspect. We walked along Sha Ki to the English bridge and hailed the other side. We explained, through the darkness, our position and asked to be taken across. We were then unaware though we were of it, that we were in the hands of the strikers already.\n\nThe only semi-decent looking person there see I was unarmed and this fact was communicated to the crowd outside. Endeavours to get near us but we were ushered into the other building untouched. There a dozen of our captors with half a dozen words of English endeavoured to question us. Asked who and what we were and how and why we visited Canton we explained and at this juncture I did a foolish thing. I wrote my name and address in Chinese characters, about all I know of the Chinese language. After that no one would believe I couldn't speak it and this may have led to some of the rough treatment we received.\n\n### The Rabble's Demands\n\nThere was much talk of a \"charge\" against us, we being told we were up there as spies to find out what we could. We were told we should be taken to the Police Station and we protested in vain that we were good men and anxious to do no harm. But our captors' aims were defeated on the point by the still clamouring crowd outside. Asking when we were going we were told it was impossible for some time because the crowd wanted to harm us. So there we sat on a bed while a dozen or so of the famous or infamous Whampoa Cadets filed in and surrounded us with fixed bayonets.\n\n### Efforts to Break In\n\nThe mob made many efforts to break in but were repulsed. On two occasions a whistle demanded silence while someone addressed the mob in the fashion of Antony, These orations had an effect for a time but the clamouring grew louder and it was evident they were demanding our blood.\n\nIt was at this point that the chains made their appearance. About ten feet long, heavy, and with a huge lock of Chinese pattern these were clamped about our necks almost as tight as one wears a collar but, be it believed, with much less comfort. The impulse to resist to the uttermost was strong and had to be fought with all our strength.\n\n### The Bund Procession\n\nAt 10 p.m. after an uncomfortable hour in the fish shop, we were put into rickshaws and told we were going to Tung Yin to get passports, a thing we believed to be true. As the name implies Tung Yin is at the easternmost corner of the city and that ride along the Bund in brilliant moonlight will be one not easily forgotten. My friend had a watch and noticed that this was at 12.30 a.m. Apparently the crowd were told of what was done for a few minutes later we were ordered to march. Two lantern bearers proceeded us demanding free passage and armed men accompanied our little cavalcade. About each of us with a jailer holding our chains we passed out through a lane of Cadets drawing as much attention as a Lord Mayor on November 9th but with a little less dignity. Holding rifles with fixed bayonets, gesticulating, brandishing sticks horizontally and shouting they made constant attempts to surround us and their intentions were only too obvious.\n\n### The Strike Guard\n\nWe were marched to our prison. We passed in. Inside the building had been built three bamboo cages, each of which was full of Chinese prisoners. We were pushed into the middle one in which were fourteen prisoners so that we made altogether sixteen people in a space precisely ten feet by fifteen. One electric light glimmered in a corner. The floor was covered with rattan mats and we wearily sank on the few square feet of space cleared for us.\n\nOur fellow prisoners brightened considerably when one prisoner addressed us in English. The guards ordered no talking but lying back I could converse with him in quiet tones. He said he and his fellow prisoners were good men that they had been caught at Shunchun after walking from Canton and had been incarcerated in that filthy, stench-ridden prison for more than a month. He said he himself used to work for Shewan Tomes and for Dodwell's but that was some time ago.\n\n### Put in Jail\n\nAnything more like a ride to the guillotine in the tumbrils would be hard to imagine. The crowd surged, calling for \"kill the foreigners\" to which the reinforced guard replied \"You cannot.\" How the crowd was prevented from carrying out its intention of greviously harming us we shall never know but we knew that the armed guards worked like trojans to preserve our skins.\n\n### A False Friend\n\nAnother visit to the Bund at the Customs Wharf failed to produce a boat and at the suggestion of my friend we were about to go to the Hotel Asia to get a boat or to spend the night when a Chinese in European clothes and speaking a little English asked what we required. We gave him a brief explanation and he offered to help us. A crowd collected as only Chinese crowds can and do. The uncertainty of our fate was such that we determined not to give up hope of that pass and merely waited patiently for developments.\n\n### Uncertain Fate\n\nAll this time the crowd clustered round the prison and our fellow prisoner was able to translate their clamouring. Their one cry was \"kill the foreigners.\" We swallowed four eggs somehow and a small packet of biscuits, a bunch of bananas and two bottles of sarsaparilla-tepid. We did our best with this supply and although it only came through a hole in the top of the wall about a square foot in size, it was well for our tempers that we had it.\n\nThat morning the prison doctor came in and examined all who were on sick and later sent in their medicine. He requested us to step into an adjacent salt fish shop and there a guard came in with mats to lie on and basins to drink from. We asked for water and were given a saucepan full with two basins to drink from.\n\n### Crowd Turns Nasty\n\nWhen our captors came in and demanded all our money. Between us we had $200 and this was carefully counted and we were made to write on papers our names and the amount in our possession. To our jailors we explained that we had no more. Later in the morning our jailors became worried at our refusing food and asked what we wanted.\n\n### Escape Possibilities\n\nAs we lay in the stifling atmosphere, with chains chafing our necks and wearing us down we discussed the possibility of escape...

At the time, the master and folks of the shop had all run away; the disobedient members of the picket secretly took away money and articles at their discretion. They then closed the shop doors. They forced me to draw up a document to send both the pigs and men to the **\"TAI TUI PO\"** (The Headquarters of the Picket) for disposal. At that time, I intended to submit a report with all the facts, but they forced me to state in the document that the shop in question is established in the Chinese Territories. I beg to disclose the facts in this letter and hope that you will kindly consider this case and make clear inquiries as to whether the shop is in the Chinese or British Territories in order to relieve the local people from anger. Then I shall be much obliged.\n\nI feel ashamed of my inability. I am not popular enough to command respect. I am lacking in ability to supervise the men, and they had done insolently as they liked. I cannot be exempted from being blamed. I consider that I am not popular enough to work here. I had left the frontier for Hongkong to contrive for my living. I hope that you will kindly allow me to resign. Excuse me for having absented myself from the post as my resignation has not been approved.\n\nWith best compliments.\n\nNG KUNG NGAI\n\nSept. 23.\n\n## Queries\n\n1. Was this case handled properly or improperly? There is public opinion.\n\n2. Since this case took place, the people of the place are very indignant. They say we are worse than robbers.\n\n3. The members of the pickets falsely accuse me of having obtained a bribe. As transportation of pigs took place in the British Territories, there was no need for them to make a report here in any way, but they anticipated that misunderstanding might happen; therefore, they did come to report. How could they have given me money?\n\n4. Officer in charge, VONG, was stationed here. How was his reputation? And what about the reputation of the present Officer in charge? There is public opinion.

They said that the captives were on the spot: that they were protecting them rather than detaining them, because they were afraid that the populace and the \"Kren Tui” (military troops, non-picket) would have done them hurt. They said that it appeared that the encroachment on Chinese territory was deliberate, and a calculated insult.\n\nI explained that it was a pure accident and that certainly our police had not intentionally landed on Chinese territory, and asked that the men should be allowed to accompany us back. I added that this was a most unfortunate moment for any such contretemps through any misunderstanding as their action would tend to embarrass the Canton Government, now engaged in a friendly conference to settle the situation.\n\nThey said they had wired to their Canton Headquarters and must await instructions. Eventually they agreed to hand over men, arms and boat if I would sign a document which they could hold as proof. I asked what the wording would be, and Mr. Fu Cheuk Ying drafted a form to which I took exception because it contained the characters", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-493 - Governor Sir Clementi - 1926 [6-8].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 503211, "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": "CO129-493 - Governor Sir Clementi - 1926 [6-8]", "page_number": 286, "title": "CO129-493 - Governor Sir Clementi - 1926 [6-8]", "content_text": "It should have been mentioned that at an earlier stage the 2 captured sergeants had been brought in to help to complete the tally of arms and ammunition, as Mr. Fu had mislaid his own list.

Mr. Williams and I signed the receipt and I suggested that Mr. Gerrard should come in also and sign. This was done, and was satisfactory as it was objectionable that Mr. Gerrard should not be admitted at all. Nothing more was said about his revolver. Then followed a trying wait while the arms were being produced; Mr. Williams went back alone to reassure our people at the frontier. The hitch was due to part of the arms and ammunition being in the hands of pickets guarding the motor boat, a long way off. While Mr. Gerrard and I were waiting, trying to make pleasant conversation, the hum of an aeroplane was heard and there was some excitement and anger. Later a report came that troops had entered Chinese Territory, and the atmosphere grew difficult again. We took the opportunity to suggest that we need not wait for the arms: we trusted them to hand them to us at the Bridge Head when collected: we had all better return and incidentally ask the soldiers not to come into Chinese Territory. Eventually this was agreed to and Mr. Gerrard, Mr. Krok and I left with the 7 captives and walked back unmolested to Lo Tu.\n\nMr. Ku assured us that his intention was sincere to hand over all the arms: one revolver had been sent to Canton that morning as evidence, but would be returned to us, probably in 2 days' time: the motor boat was at our disposal to take away as soon as we like.

Memorial services held in commemoration of the death of Koo Tsung Hung, the formulation to the Japanese mill owners of certain demands by the strikers, a threat to cut off the water and electric supply of the foreign settlement, the distribution of inflammatory pamphlets and handbills urging the farmers and labourers of China to unite, the ill-treatment of Chinese suspected of Japanese sympathies or of holding counsels of moderation are illustrations of the methods used in order to work up the feelings of an excitable and credulous Oriental mob and so inevitably to bring about a dangerous anti-foreign outbreak.\n\n29. The first hint received by the authorities of the International Settlement as to what might occur may be said to have been conveyed by the attitude of the meeting convened by the Shanghai Students Union on the 27th May in the Tung Tuh Medical School to discuss ways and means to oppose the proposal of the Shanghai Municipal Council to enact new bye-laws relative to printed matter and an increase in wharfage dues. Yuin Dai-ying, a well-known Chinese Communist, who is a teacher in the Shanghai University, stated at this meeting that, apart from the efforts of the Municipal Council to enact new, obnoxious bye-laws, which should be strenuously opposed, the existence of unjust bias in favour of oppression among the members of that body had been illustrated recently in the arrest by the police of students and others who were endeavouring to help the Chinese victims of the brutality of the Japanese capitalist cotton-mill owners. Amongst the resolutions then discussed and passed was one that measures be taken to secure the release of the students at present in custody in case they are not at liberty by the 30th May.\n\n30. On the 28th and 29th May the officials of the student organisations and of the labour unions were very active, in the Chinese districts situated outside the settlement limits strike pay being distributed, intimidation being resorted to and a flood of pamphlets and cartoons broadcasted. Resolutions, more particularly anti-Japanese, were passed at numerous meetings. On the 30th May some forty students belonging to the Vung Chi University and others from the South China University called at the Labour Union and stated that they would make open-air speeches everywhere in order to call people's attention to the cruelty displayed by Japanese in the recent trouble and to the necessity of boycotting their goods.\n\n31. The proceedings of the Mixed Court on the morning of Saturday, the 30th May, were probably largely responsible for the suddenness and violence of the rioting later in the day. It should be remembered that some half-dozen students had been held in custody for having participated in the mill riots, and the fact of their having been detained instead of released on bail, which they were unable to find, was apparently the first spark which set alight the anger of their comrades. When the six students appeared in court on the 30th May before a Japanese assessor and a Chinese magistrate, a large crowd of students assembled outside the court to await the result. The accused were again remanded and were each allowed $100 bail; but, being unable to provide this sum, they had perforce to remain in custody. Their removal to Louza police station, which is situated about one mile from the Mixed Court building, was the occasion for the outburst which had such unfortunate results: for when the accused were removed from the court, many of the students outside followed on foot to the Louza police station, apparently with the intention of rescuing their comrades.\n\n32. At 12:15 P.M., the Commissioner of Police, Mr. McEuen, who was about to leave police headquarters on his way to the club, heard by telephone that a procession of students was being formed outside the international boundary, probably with a view to demonstrating in the settlement, but he did not regard this as anything more than an ordinary student demonstration, so that at 1:15 he drove out to the Kiangwan racecourse, about five miles away, and returned to the Shanghai racecourse in the middle of the town at 2:30 P.M. At 1:55 P.M. a report was received at Louza police station that students were making speeches of an anti-Japanese nature and carrying flags with anti-foreign inscriptions at various points on the Nanking Road, and refused to move on or disperse when ordered to do so by the police. Inspector Everson in charge of Louza police station, and a party of European constables, proceeded to investigate and arrested three men, one of whom was actually making a speech to a crowd about 50 yards west of the station, with two others standing by waving flags. On arrival at the station, followed by a crowd of about 150, these students were placed in the charge room and admitted that the speeches were anti-Japanese and that they had arranged with students of other colleges to hold meetings at various points in the settlement to protest about the killing of a Chinese workman by Japanese. The three men arrested were charged and the crowd told to leave the station. This they refused to do, and they were therefore locked up. A few minutes later Inspector Everson proceeded to Tibet Road, where similar meetings were in progress, and arrested another student carrying an anti-Japanese banner. On being arrested one of these students stated that he did not know that he was forbidden to make anti-foreign speeches in the foreign settlement. On their arrest a large crowd again followed to the station, refused to leave and were taken into custody. At this stage it appears that Mr. McEuen, who was in the Shanghai racecourse, hearing that there was a large student demonstration, telephoned to Inspector Everson to enquire if he wanted any assistance and was informed in reply that Inspector Everson considered that he had sufficient force at his disposal to cope with the situation. This was about 2:30 P.M. At 2:45 the first act of violence occurred on Tibet Road, Police-Constable Stevens being knocked down by the crowd. The ring-leaders were arrested, and on arrival at the station many of those following forced their way into the charge room, that is to say, the crowd pushed their way down a cul-de-sac, about 60 yards long and 8 yards wide, leading from Nanking Road itself into the centre of Louza police station. There was a considerable hubbub going on. Inspector Everson estimated that there were at least 100 in the charge room and 300 outside between the charge room and Nanking Road. Orders were given to clear the police station, in which were stored some 2,000 rounds of ammunition and a quantity of police arms, automatic pistols and carbines, these being in an open room immediately opposite the charge room. In the confusion the men charged with the assault against Police-Constable Stevens escaped. There were about thirty available policemen, composed of Chinese, Sikhs and Europeans, in the station at the time. With this force the charge room was cleared and the crowd pushed down the alley as far as the entrance of the Nanking Road. Inspector Everson, with about fifteen policemen, then continued slowly to push the crowd further away down the Nanking Road, the police meanwhile urging them to disperse, while he left some twenty police officers as a reserve inside the lane (cul-de-sac) leading to the police station itself. The police succeeded in pushing the crowd about 100 yards to the corner of Kwangsi Road, on which stands the town hall. Here, apparently, tramcars were blocked at the corner and the crowd made a stand, refusing to go back any further. The crowd was very menacing and for the first time shouted: \"Down with the foreigners!\" \"Kill the foreigners!\" Thinking they might turn at any moment, Inspector Everson stood up on the running-board of a near-by motor-car in order to see over the top of the crowd, and as a result of his bird's eye view of the situation he determined to retreat to the police station. The crowd was now beyond control and the European constables were being very severely handled. The police were still using batons and sticks freely, and Inspector Everson himself was still only armed with a stick. At this stage Inspector Everson observed a large procession of more students, which he estimated at about 2,000, bearing down on the rear of the 300 or so students which he was holding in check. The crowd now developed a very ugly spirit and advanced on the police in an attempt to wrest the firearms in the possession of the foreign members of the force. Everson and his small party of police, which had already been very roughly handled, was gradually driven back to the entrance of the alley which leads to the Louza police station, off the Nanking Road; fearing that the mob might succeed in rushing his police station and loot the arms which it contained and liberate the prisoners, he felt that the time had come when extreme measures must be taken. He therefore called out the twenty policemen in reserve and formed a half-circle round the entrance of the alley. Then, grasping a carbine from one of the policemen, he called out in Chinese to the crowd, \"Stop, or I fire\"; at the same time indicating by gestures that the police were about to fire. Approximately ten seconds elapsed and the inspector gave the order to fire. This occurred at 3:37 P.M. As a result, four of the crowd were killed outright, five subsequently succumbed to their wounds and fourteen were wounded, all being Chinese. The mob immediately dispersed.\n\n33. The next day found Shanghai an armed camp. The volunteers were mobilised and naval reinforcements were on their way to protect the interests of the different foreign nationals dwelling in the International Settlement as well as in the neighbouring French Concession which, it should be noted, remained unaffected throughout this crisis.\n\n34. The Chinese Chamber of Commerce declared a general strike, and it began generally to be realised that the disturbances of the 30th May had by now completely lost their original character of a mere student demonstration and were ...\n\n11", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-497 - Public Offices - 1926.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 506018, "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": "CO129-498-14 Illicit traffic in opium and drugs 4-12-1925 - 30-11-1926", "page_number": 31, "title": "CO129-498-14 Illicit traffic in opium and drugs 4-12-1925 - 30-11-1926", "content_text": "## Enclosure 2\n\nHon.

He stated in the witness box that he had spent a few days in Hong Kong in April this year, on his way back to Shanghai and Japan from Swatow. It was noticed at the trial that a friend of his was giving instructions for the defence; this man had come specially from Shanghai, and appeared to be a Japanese in a good position; he was wearing an expensive diamond ring, and was well dressed.\n\n3. The defence was that a Japanese friend called Ito in Paris introduced him to a Chinese merchant called Mo or Mah, and that finally after being taken to Switzerland by the Chinese by air, he consented to take back to Shanghai the trunks in which the drug was found, which were said to contain watches. It is impossible to say if there is any truth in these statements; part of what he stated in his defence was undoubtedly falsehood. He did go to Zurich with a Japanese, but he was called Nagasawa. He admitted that the trunks were destined for Shanghai. My informant said that these formed part of about 2,000 kilos which had been successfully introduced into Shanghai, and that a large manufacturer of drugs was behind the deals.

Soon it rose higher and higher. The streets became noisy with the sound of passengers and cries of hawkers.\n\nFrom a far distance came an old man walking steadily on towards the corner of the street. He was a bare-headed man with a white beard on his chin. His clothes were white, and he had a big blue umbrella in his hand, a basket in the other, and a stool and a small table upon his shoulder. He came nearer and nearer to the corner. As he reached the place, he arranged his stall and sat on the stool with the table in front of him.\n\nAt length a Chinese maid, dressed in black, with a basket in her hand and a pair of pattens on her feet, came to him. She asked him to write a letter for her. The old man, after putting his spectacles on his nose, lifted up his pen and wrote the letter. The maid sat beside him and waited anxiously. When the letter was finished, the maid dropped a five-cent piece on his table and bade him farewell. The man examined the coin carefully and put it in his pocket.\n\n## A FORTUNE-TELLER\n\nFortune-tellers are commonly seen in busy streets in this Colony. At the corner of one of the streets, there was an old fortune-teller. He was a bare-headed man with white hair. He sat beside the table. On the table, there was a book, a bottle of Chinese ink, a tortoise shell, and a box of sticks. He considered his work to be accurate.\n\nA school boy wanted to test the fortune-teller. He went to see him and asked him to find out when his fortune would come. The teller inquired his age and the date and exact time of his birth. The boy answered that he was eighteen years old and gave him further particulars. The teller instantly opened his book and tried to find out his fortune for him. At last, he said to the boy, \"When you are at the age of twenty, you will have good luck and gain plenty of money.\" The boy stood up with anger and said to the teller, \"I am twenty-one years old now. Last year, my father died, and that summer, I was sick and disappointed. Now you say that I will have good luck when I am twenty years of age. This is evidently incorrect. I know that you gain your living by deceiving others.\" After these words were said, the boy ran away without paying him even a cash.\n\n### A DOLL-MAKER\n\nIn one of the busy streets, there was a man surrounded by a group of children. In front of him, there was a wooden box. He sat there making dolls busily to gain his living. The dolls were beautifully made. They were magnificent and splendid. Some of them were fixed with different colours; others were made in the shape of Indians, Chinese, and all kinds of people. The children liked them very much.\n\nSoon, a sister and brother came rushing towards him, and a child with a baby on her back was also running to the same place. Instantly, he was surrounded by children; these children were staring at him with eagerness, and some of them went home to get money to buy a doll. At last, the sun went down to the west. Now was the time for dinner, so the crowd gradually decreased, and the man gathered his property and went his way home.\n\n**WONG LAI WAN, Class 2.**\n\n## THE FLOWERS\n\nThe Queen of the flowers, one day, invited her intimate friends, the Pansy, the Lily, and the Violet, to tea.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-498-21 Government Educational department- salaries- prospects and vacancies 15-7-1926 - 25-1-1927.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 506656, "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": "CO129-498-8 Canton situation- speeches made by members of the Canton Government- and visit of the Fraternity... 13-1-1926 - 13-1-1926", "page_number": 9, "title": "CO129-498-8 Canton situation- speeches made by members of the Canton Government- and visit of the Fraternity... 13-1-1926 - 13-1-1926", "content_text": "They approved and passed the motion.

Thus nothing could be done to remove the hardship that has been caused to the people of the Province since the 12th year (1923). Surely this is a source of distress to us? In such a state of affairs, it is no wonder that the people attack us revolutionists. We know we deserved the attacks. The brutal soldiers, the wicked generals and the avaricious and corrupt officials all combined together to do harm to the people every day, and thus there arose the prevalence of gambling, opium-smoking and robbery. How can the people of Kwong Tung refrain from anger? How much more angry would they be, when they found that those brutal soldiers, wicked generals and avaricious and corrupt officials were brought to the Province by our Kak Ming Tong.\n\nAt... We knew clearly all the reasons why the Merchants' Corps in Canton opposed us. But the merchants did not act in the right way. They went and asked Liu Hang Chiu to come forward as an intermediary to get the dispute settled. I remember that at one time Mr. Sun sent for the Merchants' Corps to appear in his Headquarters for a conversation. At that time, Liu Hang Chiu happened to be present, and Mr. Sun said to the merchants with much grief, \"It is all owing to the neglect of my order on the part of those men that Kwong Tung has been reduced to ruin.

On the 26th December last year, the masses held at Wuchang an Anti-British Demonstration and also at Hankow, and over 200,000 individuals took part in it. The British Imperialists, seeing this, could not help being struck with panic, and this was the origin of the Hankow butchery.\n\n(ii) On the 3rd January, several hundred people at Hankow were listening in front of the Kiang Han Customs to lectures given by the Propaganda Officers of the Political Department. The British armed marines interfered with them without reason and attempted to drive them away. This roused the indignation of the populace, and thereupon several thousand unarmed people gathered to offer resistance. The British marines wounded 2 men seriously with bayonets and 3 men slightly, killing one man.

Kotewall, C.M.G., during the 1925 crisis, it is meeting with great and increasing success. It has been for the last twelve months in the very able hands of Mr. Lau Tsz-p'eng, who was at one time confidential clerk to the Secretary for Chinese Affairs and has an intimate knowledge of the political intrigues of China during the last two decades. The Bureau devotes most of its energies to the production of Chinese pamphlets, broadsheets, and leaflets having the appearance of being entirely spontaneous protests against the actions of the extremist section of the Canton Soviet.\n\nThe tyranny and hardships which a communist regime involves to the masses themselves are kept before the working classes by means of examples drawn from current events in Canton where, as my previous despatches show, there is no lack of suitable material. These events, and Mr. Lau's skilful use of them, conduce to the advantage of the Colony. Various trades and handicrafts now show a disposition to move away from the continuous storm of strikes and picketings, which besets Canton, to the quiet and order which British rule confers upon Hong Kong; and it is not unlikely that anger at this failure of their plots has led the Canton Labour Unions to lay plans for provoking a new outbreak in Hong Kong, as noted in paragraph 4 of my secret despatch of the 4th February.\n\nThe temper of these agitators is indicated in the enclosed report obtained by the Secretary for Chinese Affairs of two meetings held at Canton. Too great importance is not to be attached to the attendance of delegates from Hong Kong Unions. It is difficult for a Chinese Union in this Colony to refuse an invitation to a conference of similar and larger Unions at Canton.\n\nPage 40\nNo. C. 30001/27 [No. 35]\n(35) Enclo.

But the Hong Kong Government suddenly after this event oppressively suppressed the Union, for what reason is not known. I hear that the Hong Kong Government, in accordance with the regulations of 27 January 1927 issued by the Legislative Council, regards Associated Unions as unlawful institutions which exist for the purpose of stirring up strikers and disturbances; I do not know whether such is a fact or not, but if it is, these regulations only prohibit institutions with such an object, whereas it is obvious that his union met merely for the purpose of a ballot. Moreover, long ago the Hong Kong Government permitted the establishment of this union, and on this occasion sent officials to observe proceedings without prohibiting their taking place, which proves that the Hong Kong Government recognized this as a legal institution on the day the ballot was held. Nevertheless, a few hours later the Union was suppressed. In so short a time, how could it change into an institution for instituting strikers and disturbances? In the name of justice, I must emphatically protest against Chinese immigrants, when innocent, being thus oppressed, and request you to ask the Government of Hong Kong at once to restore the union and to treat Chinese fairly in future.

But before he had finished what he had to say, the Captain Superintendent of Police went up, interrupted him and made him descend from the stage. \n\nAt the same time the Chief Assistant Secretary for Chinese Affairs claimed that time was up, and ordered the meeting to be dismissed. He sent the detectives and policemen up the stage to drive the platform party off. The audience was also sent out of the meeting place, and not allowed to linger any longer. And in fact his actions in this respect were so violent as to be comparable only to those of a wolf or a tiger. Filled with feelings of sadness and pain, but having no other means to vent their anger, the crowd loudly cried out slogans, and some of them were so much aggrieved that they wept until they had no voice left.\n\nThe platform party, seeing that the audience was so indignant and fearing that trouble similar to that in Shakee and on May the 30th might arise in the Garden, did their utmost to admonish and pacify it. Luckily the audience maintained good order throughout the day and retired at their ease, although they had been dispersed by force. All Chinese in Hong Kong after such an act of oppression are rankling under this painful treatment, and now realise that if such harsh regulations as these are not cancelled, there will be even greater oppression put on them in the future.

They drove out all those who made speeches and dispersed the meeting by force, making the enthusiastic audience run about and cry so bitterly that their noise shook the place. Anybody would have felt sad at heart who heard it and would have shed tears when he saw the scene.

After learning what he had been through, one could not grudge him a little rest.\n\nMr. Forster, it appeared, was in his cabin when a pirate knocked at his door at 4.15. He opened and found himself face to face with a pistol. He nevertheless kicked the pirate who tried to hold him up and succeeded in knocking the weapon away. Just at the same time another pirate fired at him and missed him. Mr. Forster then got out of his cabin and ran round the saloon deck and eluded his pursuers. He went to the poop deck where he woke up Mr. Thompson.\n\n44 'My Brother Shot.'\n\nThe two pirates who were pursuing Mr. Forster thought he had gone up to the bridge and they went after him. On reaching the top rung of the ladder, they saw the outline of a man and thinking that it was the runaway officer, the two pirates fired. One shot went through the heart of the man who fell. The robbers thinking that they had killed Mr. Forster, then left the bridge.\n\nAfter the ship had got underway, the pirate chief went on the bridge and on turning the dead round, found that his own men had shot his brother. \"Oh my brother, they have killed,\" he said, and flung his gun into the water.\n\nWhen the officers later saw a coffin being ordered by the pirates, it then dawned on them that the coffin was for the dead bandit.\n\nThis incident set the pirates against Mr. Forster and when they were taking him ashore in Bias Bay, they told him that they would shoot him, and as a preliminary punishment, the robbers made Mr. Forster do the rowing.\n\nOn looking round they saw that they were pursued. This put the pirates in a flurry and in their haste to get ashore they smashed the two boats against some rocks on the beach.\n\nMr. Forster's Lucky Escape. Just on the beach a pirate turned round and fired point blank at Mr. Forster. Luckily the bullet mis-fired. Mr. Forster then ran toward a boulder, but from another boulder, come forty or fifty feet away, another pirate opened fire at him.\n\nMr. Forster at once dropped into the water as if he had been shot, but to the pirates' surprise and anger, Mr. Forster struck out toward his ship as soon as he touched the water. The pirates sent a fusillade after him, but all the shots went wide. Mr. Forster was then picked up by the pursuit party from the Yueng Shing. He returned to his ship with ugly bruises on his knees and body.\n\nThe Humorous Side Of A Tragedy.\n\nLaughingly, Mr. Thompson told our representative that the piracy and the tragedy that followed in its wake were not without a touch of humour. \"There were many deck passengers sitting over a hatch, you know, and these people began to secrete the few dollars they had with them. They had nowhere to hide the money, so they dropped it into the hold through the crevices in the hatch. After the pirates had left, these men and women refused to budge. They claimed that any money found under the position in which they were sitting belonged to them. To pacify them the hatch was opened and in the hold several dollars were found. This money was all discoloured as well as the paint work. There was an awful smell in the hold and it was evident that the pirates had fumigated the holds with some sort of acid so as to smoke out anyone who might have been hiding there.\n\nWhere Is The General? There was a Chinese general, Mr. Thompson said, travelling as a first-class passenger. After the pirates had taken control of the ship, this general stood outside his cabin to see what the commotion was all about. Two pirates went into the general's cabin and ransacked it. They found a medal pinned on a coat which the general was wearing. They at once turned round to the general and asked him \"Where is the general?\n\n\"The general, oh I will take you to him,\" said the proper general, and he took the two pirates for a walk around the ship. When he came to a dark corner, he successfully eluded the two robbers and went away to hide himself.\n\nHe is supposed to have thrown overboard about $5,000 in notes which he was alleged to have had on his person. He then hid himself in the coal hold, from which he was taken in a semi-conscious condition when all was again quiet.\n\nA Braggart Pirate. One of the pirates in this band boastfully told Mr. Thompson that he had taken part in several piracies. He mentioned the Sunning and the Hong Peng, and from a description given by Mr. Thompson, the man appeared to resemble the pirate arrested in connection with the Sunning affair but eventually discharged.\n\nPage 157", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-508-4 Cases of attacks by pirates 6-11-1927 - 23-11-1928.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 514009, "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": "CO129-508-7 Opium on Macao market 10-1-1928 - 9-11-1928", "page_number": 63, "title": "CO129-508-7 Opium on Macao market 10-1-1928 - 9-11-1928", "content_text": "# MACAO OPIUM MONOPOLY. CASE AGAINST MR. LEE HYSAN. INTRICATE LEGAL ARGUMENTS. TO TURN ON FOUR WITNESSES.\n\nThe case in which Mr. Pedro Jose Lobo, of Macao, is suing Mr. Lee Hysan for alleged libel was continued yesterday before the Chief Justice, Sir Henry Gollan, at the Supreme Court.\n\nMr. C. G. Alabaster, K.C., and Mr. H. G. Sheldon, instructed by Mr. F. H. Loseby, of Messrs. Lee and Russ, appear for the plaintiff. The defendant is represented by Mr. Eldon Potter, K.C., and Mr. F. C. Jenkin, instructed by Mr. D. H. Blake, of Messrs. Wilkinson and Grist.\n\nThe first witness called yesterday morning was the official court translator, Mr. Chan Kwok Ying. He was shown the original letter from Fung Cheong to the defendant containing the alleged libel, and said that certain words in brackets did not appear in the original.\n\nQuestioned as to the sound \"Tuk Po,\" witness said the characters were difficult to write because the sound might mean different things. Commenting on the difficulty of writing sounds in Chinese the Chief Justice remarked that cross-word puzzles were nothing to it.\n\nCross-examined by Mr. Jenkin, witness admitted that it was very difficult to make translations of Chinese which everyone in a position to judge would accept as correct. Dialect had an important bearing.\n\nThe next witness called for the plaintiff was Dr. Carlos Mendes Leitao, a barrister of Portugal practising in Macao. Witness deposed to receiving copies of the petition. One was addressed to himself and two others, lawyers who were former residents of Macao. He did not forward the two copies to the recipients named on them because he did not think that he was under any obligation to do so; because he thought the petition was an attack on the Macao Government, and because he considered that the letter included in the petition (the letter which forms the subject of the present proceedings) was libellous.\n\nQuestioned as to the passage in the letter complained of, the witness said he understood it to mean that if they could not understand English, they would have had it translated for them. He understood the reference to \"Tuk Po\" to mean that, of the sum of money paid to obtain the monopoly, $70,000 had been handed through Ah Nok to the wife of the Governor of Macao.\n\nThe Chief Justice, before allowing Mr. Sheldon to proceed further, suggested that this point should be cleared up, as this was the first time such a suggestion had been made.\n\nMr. Sheldon: Yes, because this witness is the first one who can read Chinese.\n\nMr. Sheldon maintained that this evidence had a bearing on the question of malice. The defence of privilege had been raised, but if a person took advantage of a privileged occasion to gratify his anger or malice, the protection of privilege would therefore be lost.\n\nMr. Sheldon then asked witness what he understood by the reference to \"the sum of $50,000 through Lo Bo to Tsoi Teng (Chinese character sound: you can find out the meaning of it and who he is).\" Witness replied that he understood, from that, that the sum of $50,000 had been handed to the Colonial Treasurer or someone in the Treasury through Lobo.\n\nAs regards Mr. Lobo, what, in your opinion, was the meaning of this letter? — Mr. Lobo, being employed therein, had been more or less conniving with the Company in obtaining the monopoly.\n\nAt the afternoon sessions, Mr. Alabaster dealt with the matter of malice and privilege. His contention was that if the petitions had been sent out, it necessarily followed that there was an intention to publish.\n\nMr. Alabaster said that, in the defence, it had been admitted that the defendant had sent and caused the publication of the alleged libel to two persons in Hong Kong and fourteen in Macao. The defendant had shown his intention to publish by the words in which he declared (in the covering letter addressed to the lawyers in Macao) that he desired to publish his petition widely. Mr. Alabaster also submitted that the interpolations in the translated document implied malice: the document was not allowed to speak for itself.\n\nThe Chief Justice pointed out that the suggestion was that the Macao Government, having decided to act in accordance with the Geneva Conference, and having decided on a certain policy, nevertheless went back on it and allowed the old custom of opium farming to be carried on. If certain facts had come to the attention of a person interested in the trade, would not representations made by him (leaving malice out of the question) addressed to the proper authority be privileged?\n\nMr. Alabaster: It might be privileged if communications were made to the Government, but it cannot be a privileged communication which communicates something irrelevant.\n\nThe remainder of the sitting was devoted to intricate legal arguments on the questions of privilege, \"publication\" and whether publication was complete without proof that the recipients attached the meaning to the words which the plaintiff alleged was implied.\n\nOn a review of the evidence called, the Chief Justice assented to Mr. Potter's submission that he had no case to answer. The case for the plaintiff was closed before the tiffin adjournment. All but four of the persons to whom the alleged libel had been published were definitely excluded from the scope of the trial. To the four remaining cases the defence to-day will be confined.\n\nPage 63\n\nPage 46", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-508-7 Opium on Macao market 10-1-1928 - 9-11-1928.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 514010, "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": "CO129-508-7 Opium on Macao market 10-1-1928 - 9-11-1928", "page_number": 64, "title": "CO129-508-7 Opium on Macao market 10-1-1928 - 9-11-1928", "content_text": "64\n\nTHE MACAO OPIUM CASE.\n\nMR. POTTER'S STRONG DENIAL OF MALICE.\n\nMR. LEE HYSAN'S EVIDENCE.\n\nOpium Monopolist In Macao. Mr. Lee Hysan had many interests in Macao. He had been the opium farmer, or rather the moving spirit in the opium farming. He was connected with the life of the Colony and had subscribed very large sums to charities.\n\nThe libel action brought by Mr. Pedro Jose Lobo, an official of the Macao Government against Mr. Lee Hysan was continued at the Supreme Court yesterday before the Chief Justice (Sir Henry Gollan).\n\nMr. Lobo claims that Mr. Lee Hysan libelled him in a petition, sent to H. E. the Governor of Macao and other persons, which, it is said, accused plaintiff of malpractices while in charge of the department controlling the production and distribution of opium at Macao.\n\nMr. Eldon Potter, K.C., who appears with Mr. F. C. Jenkin for the defendant, continued his address to the court yesterday morning.\n\nNo Malice.\n\nIn view of His Lordship's ruling that publication was privileged, Mr. Potter said that the most important question was that of malice or no malice. There was a presumption of bonâ fides on the part of the defendant and the malice which had to be established must be against Mr. Lobo. Actually there was no malice against anyone. Malice must be the force which actuated the publication of a libel. They had been told that anger was sufficient but that was a misleading statement of law. Mr. Lee Hysan never had a personal attack on Mr. Lobo in mind. Mr. Lee received certain information and the only conclusion he could come to was that it was a matter for investigation.\n\nOf Macao decided that in future they would not grant the opium monopoly to a private firm or individual but would work it as a Government department. This important change was advertised in the Government Bulletin. The Yue Sing Company, Mr. Lee's company, was called upon by the opium administration department for a list of furniture and utensils and also a valuation so that the Government could take them over.\n\nWhen Mr. Lee Hysan was opium monopolist one of the managers of the Macao business was Lu Kin But, formerly manager of the Yue Sing Co. That man was employed by the new administration. About the same time a firm was formed in Hong Kong, known as the Yau Sing Company. This was at the crucial time when the monopoly was being taken over by the Macao Government.\n\nIt was rumoured all over Hong Kong that the firm had obtained the opium monopoly from the Macao Government. They were in fact issuing share scrip. It was in fact represented to the subscribers that the company was the monopolists and that they had an office in the opium administration building in Macao. That was the information received by Mr. Lee Hysan.\n\nMr. Lu Kin But signed the share scrip issued in the name of the Yau Sing Company. About this time there was undoubtedly a firm representing itself to be the opium monopolist.\n\nThere could be no suggestion that there was malice against anyone. Mr. Lee Hysan might have strong views on the administration but it was difficult to see how there could be personal spite as Mr. Lee Hysan and Mr. Lobo were unknown to each other.\n\nIf Mr. Lee Hysan had reason to believe that the opium monopoly had been handed over to a private firm without tenders in the open market, then there was a matter which justified him making a communication of a strong nature and passing on a letter received from another man.\n\nThe letter taken as a whole was incapable of having a defamatory meaning. The suggestion that the last three lines contained a sinister suggestion was nonsense. The lines meant that $120,000 had been paid out by the company and they were announcing that fact to the shareholders, being on a jolly good thing.\n\n\"If that were not sufficient grounds to justify Mr. Lee Hysan making enquiries I do not know what would be,\" commented counsel.\n\nThe two companies were confused and the position appeared to be most serious. The matter was placed before the Governor in Council and Mr. Potter submitted that taking the facts of the case malice was absolutely negatived and Mr. Lee Hysan had the strongest grounds for taking the matter to the Governor in Council.

He said that in consequence he started on the preparation of a petition to the Governor of Macao in which he set out his general services and benefits to the Colony of Macao and his fulfillment of all obligations under his contracts with that Government, and on these grounds he based a claim for fair and sympathetic treatment at the hands of the Government where his interests or those of the Yue Sing Company were concerned. The defendant stated, and his statement is borne out by the evidence, that the petition had been typed and copies of it and most of the appendices to it had been already printed when he received a letter dated August 23rd, 1927, from Fung Cheong with the result of enquiries suggested in the letter of the defendant to Fung. That letter, which was included in the petition, carried substantially the meaning placed upon it by the plaintiff and was defamatory to him. No attempt was made to justify that defamatory meaning and the defendant, through his counsel, expressly stated that he made no reflections on the honesty or official conduct of the plaintiff.\n\nPublication.\n\nThe Chief Justice held that there was no evidence to show that any of the members of the Legislative Council of Macao had read and understood it. With regard to 16 lawyers, he had held there was evidence of an actionable publication to Dr. C. M. Leitao, but not to the remaining 15.\n\nAs regards publication in Hong Kong it was proved in the case of Senor Albuquerque, the Portuguese Consul General, and Mr. Cheung Choi, but the former publication was made after the issue of the writ and was not therefore actionable in the proceedings. In the latter case it was admitted but was alleged to have been made for the purpose of obtaining a translation of the \"Fung letter\" in Chinese. His Lordship was of the opinion that each publication proved was made on a privileged occasion and in the absence of evidence of express malice the case for the plaintiff must fail.\n\nMR. LEE HYSAN SUCCEEDS\n\nA DEFAMATORY LETTER.\n\nPUBLICATION PRIVILEGED AND NO EXPRESS MALICE.\n\nJudgment was given by the Chief Justice, Sir Henry Gollan, yesterday in the action for libel brought by Mr. Pedro Jose Lobo, of Macao, against Mr. Lee Hysan, of Hong Kong.\n\nThe alleged libel was attached to a petition sent by Mr. Lee Hysan to H.E. The Governor of Macao and other persons. According to the original statement made by the defendant $120,000 had been paid by the Yue Seng Company to enable them to acquire control of the Macao Opium Monopoly and Mr. Lobo considered the words used reflected misconduct in his duties as an official of the Macao Government and was defamatory to him.\n\nHis Lordship then dealt with the enquiry which was instituted by the Governor of Macao. He said he could see nothing in the defendant's evidence given at the enquiry which could be considered as showing he was actuated by express malice, or as showing that he was under the influence of any wrong or sinister feeling.\n\nQuestion Of Express Malice.\n\nCounsel for the plaintiff had argued that the phraseology of the petition and of the “Fung letter\" showed that the defendant under the influence of anger and that his language was of such a violent character as to lead to the conclusion that he was actuated by wrong feeling against the plaintiff. His Lordship said he had considered the language complained of, but could not see that it disclosed any excessive violence of language.\n\nThe plaintiff further alleged that the petition, including the \"Fung letter,\" came into the hands of certain persons in Macao and Hong Kong and was published by them. Mr. Eldon Potter, K.C., and Mr. F. C. Jenkin, instructed by Mr. Blake of Messrs. Wilkinson & Grist, appeared for Mr. Lee Hysan and Mr. C. G. Alabaster, K.C., and Mr. Sheldon, instructed by Mr. F. H. Loseby of Messrs. Lee & Russ, for the plaintiff.\n\n\"In the result I have come to the conclusion\" said the Chief Justice, \"that, though the Fung letter is defamatory to the plaintiff, its publication was in each instance on a privileged occasion and that the plaintiff has failed to prove that, in making any such publication, the defendant was actuated by express malice. My judgment is for the defendant with costs.\"", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-508-7 Opium on Macao market 10-1-1928 - 9-11-1928.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 514880, "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": "CO129-510-11 Salary of post of secretary for Chinese affairs- request for increase 6-3-1928 - 26-4-1928", "page_number": 4, "title": "CO129-510-11 Salary of post of secretary for Chinese affairs- request for increase 6-3-1928 - 26-4-1928", "content_text": "ander \n\nof precedence. \n\nWAHarman \n\n17.4.28 \n\n4 \n\nis will wilt \n\nPerfect F.

Firstly a pair of these birds took up residence in the University compound in February since when they have been constantly seen; secondly on March 19th a single bird was watched at close quarters near the village of San Uk Ling, Sham Chun valley; lastly on March 30th at Hang Ha Po Village, Lam Tsuen valley a single bird was seen flying in and out of a hedge row. The colouring of the male bird is upper parts universally black, under parts brownish-black, the female has more brownish-black, upper parts with throat buffish-chestnut. The bill is a conspicuous yellow in the case of the male, it may be tipped brown in the female, legs black. \n\nGREAT CHINESE BARBET (Megalaima virens virens). \n\nThe first Barbet was seen on March 9th in the Lam Tsun valley, by the following week, they had increased in numbers in this district and their monotonous call was heard constantly. In one grove near the village of Fang Ma Po no less than five birds were seen to fly out together. These birds appear to be increasing in numbers, it is hoped that this season observers will be able to make notes on the nesting habits of this species. \n\nCHINESE BLACK DRONGO (Dicrurus macrocercus cathœcus). \n\nFirst seen on March 19th in the Shum Chun valley, two birds were observed hawking insects each time returning to perch on the same tree; a little further on a party of three more were seen. It was noticed that the birds were making a noisy chattering and were seen several times to indulge in a tumbling flight whilst in the air. On March 30th a drongo was seen in the Lam Tsuen valley, this was a favourite haunt of these birds last year. \n\nThe Chinese Hair-crested Drongo (Chibbia hottentotta brevirostris). A pair of these birds was seen on April 13th in the Lam Tsuen valley, this bears out our previous observations that this bird arrives in the Colony about a month later than the Chinese Black Drongo. \n\nTHE DUSKY SHRIKE (Lanius fuscatus). \n\nOn March 30th a Dusky Shrike was seen in company with a Chinese Rufous-backed Shrike (L. s. schach) perched on a hedge row in the Lam Tsuen valley. Last year the nest of Lanius s. schach was found in almost this identical spot. There is no doubt that Lanius fuscatus is a larger bird. As this species are constantly seen in this locality we ask observers to help us to solve the separate species theory, the nesting season being the only time when this can be accomplished. See the H.

Then, I think, the case is at an end, because the charge is that the accused, through Lau, procured the actual murder.\n\nAssuming, on the other hand, you believe that evidence, that Lau was the man who procured the murderers, you have a trail of evidence leading back from the murder up to--as I might express it--the accused's own door, leading up to the Chauffeur employed and paid by the accused. That, I think, would itself clearly be insufficient to bring home the charge to the accused. There is a distinct gap between that Chui evidence and the accused.\n\nYou have, however, one admitted fact and one high probability in addition. The admitted fact is that the accused has lost Lai Ming Fai whom he had been supporting for years, owing to the happenings of 21st and 22nd February, and she had gone to live with George Fung. That is the fact.\n\nThe probability is; that anybody in the accused's position on that happening must feel resentment against the man who had taken the girl away. But resentment, even anger, is a very different thing from murderous hate and is still further removed from active steps with a view to murder, so that, in my opinion, even adding that fact and that probability to the evidence of Chui, there would still, I think, not be enough on which to find the accused guilty.\n\nNow, one passes over to the Zimmern and Christie evidence. That, of course, is intended to prove two things: first the existence of murderous hate in the mind of the accused, and secondly that he took active steps towards the murder of Fung through other channels than those by which Fung was ultimately murdered.\n\nNow, I do not intend to analyse that evidence again. It has been done very fully and very powerfully by leading Counsel for the Defence, but I do ask you to bear in mind the points which he has made, and I would add this further point, that before you can find, before you are satisfied beyond reasonable doubt, that this evidence of Zimmern and Christie tells against the accused, you must, I think, be prepared to find that the definite statements and conversations which the accused is alleged to have made were in fact made by him.\n\n10 \n\n20 \n\n20 \n\n30 \n\n40 \n\n; \n\nIt is not enough, of course, that you should acquire from the evidence of Zimmern and Christie a confused, blurred feeling that in some way they show the accused was filled with murderous hate and was taking steps to try and get Zimmern and Christie to murder Fung. That is not enough. You must be satisfied that the accused made a definite statement attributed to him by the evidence as to the $10,000 offer also the statement that the two other men had failed and so on. Now, as I say, I am not going to analyse that evidence and point out its difficulties and improbabilities and inconsistencies again. It is for you to say whether, in view of those difficulties and improbabilities and inconsistencies you can say you are satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that the accused made those certain, definite statements attributed to him.\n\nIf you are satisfied on that point, and if you are also satisfied on the evidence of Chui that Lau was the man who organised the murder, and that he did so as agent for somebody else, then you must ask yourself whether you can take the third, distinct, final step of saying those two things together bring home the charge to the accused.\n\nThe position in that case, on the assumption that you believe both groups of evidence would be this: you have evidence that Lau, the accused's own chauffeur, was the man who organised the crime, and that he had some principal behind him. You have, again, on the same assumption of belief in both branches of evidence, from the other side on the Zimmern and Christie side that the accused was, about the same time, filled with murderous hate against the deceased and was actually trying to get him murdered by some other men.\n\nyou \n\nNow, on that, gentlemen, you could, I think, reasonably find that the accused is guilty of the crime charged against him; that, of course, is on the assumption you believe both branches of evidence. If you do not believe the Zimmern and Christie evidence that is to say, if you are not satisfied beyond reasonable doubt it is true, even though you may suspect it may be true; if you are not satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that the Zimmern and Christie evidence is true then, in my view, the verdict must be \"not guilty,\" because, as I have pointed out, the Chui evidence---though it takes you to the accused's own doorstops short of the accused himself.\n\nIf, on the other hand, you come to the conclusion, on the Chui evidence, you are not satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that Lau is the man who organised the murder, again, I think the case is at an end, and perhaps even more clearly, because the charge is the procuring of the murder by Lau.\n\n33", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-541-10 Cheng Kwok Yau- application for special leave to appeal 13-10-1932 - 3-2-1933.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 535222, "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": "CO129-541-11 Cheng Kwok Yau- trial judge's notes 1-1-1932 - 31-12-1932", "page_number": 109, "title": "CO129-541-11 Cheng Kwok Yau- trial judge's notes 1-1-1932 - 31-12-1932", "content_text": "10.3.32\n\n109\n\nwanted.

It was at West Point. I met him there. Thereafter I acted as his bodyguard. I met him every day at the J.C. usually about midday.\n\nI would then go with him to Repulse Bay. I think that it was the 6th March. That was the only time. There were about 7 or 8 in the party.

I would not feel it so bad if she went and lived by herself but she went and lived with a man that I dislike.\" He told me that the man was George Fung. I said, \"I wonder if she is still a virgin,\" and the accused said that he had his doubts. I understood that he wanted to marry her and prove to his parents that she was a virgin. That is what he said. He said that they were opposed to the marriage. That was about the 12th or 13th March.\n\nAt that time I was staying at Nathan Hotel, 3rd floor (English booking). I was there 3 or 4 nights. I did not then know that Fung and Lai King Fai were staying on that floor. I never saw either there. I usually got back to the hotel\n\n(87)", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-541-11 Cheng Kwok Yau- trial judge's notes 1-1-1932 - 31-12-1932.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 535321, "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": "CO129-541-11 Cheng Kwok Yau- trial judge's notes 1-1-1932 - 31-12-1932", "page_number": 208, "title": "CO129-541-11 Cheng Kwok Yau- trial judge's notes 1-1-1932 - 31-12-1932", "content_text": "6\n\n208\n\nYou have, however, one admitted fact, and one high probability in addition.\n\nThe admitted fact is that the accused has lost Lai Ming Fai whom he had been supporting for years, owing to the happenings of 21st and 22nd February, and she had gone to live with George Fung. That is the fact.\n\nThe probability is that anybody in the accused's position on that happening must feel resentment against the man who had taken the girl away. But resentment, even anger, is a very different thing from murderous hate, and is still further removed from active steps with a view to murder, so that, in my opinion, even adding that fact and that probability to the evidence of Chui, there would still, I think, not be enough on which to find the accused guilty.\n\nNow, one passes over to the Zimmern and Christie evidence. That, of course, is intended to prove two things: first, the existence of murderous hate in the mind of the accused, and secondly, that he took active steps towards the murder of Fung through other channels than those by which Fung was ultimately murdered.\n\nNow, I do not intend to analyse that evidence again. It has been done very fully and very powerfully by leading counsel for the defence, but I do ask you to bear in mind the points which he has made, and I would add this further point, that before you can find, before you are satisfied beyond reasonable doubt, that this evidence of Zimmern and Christie tells against the accused, you must, I think, be prepared to find that the definite statements and conversations which the accused is alleged to have made were in fact made by him.\n\nIt is not enough, of course, that you should acquire from the evidence of Zimmern and Christie a confused...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-541-11 Cheng Kwok Yau- trial judge's notes 1-1-1932 - 31-12-1932.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 544216, "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": "CO129-546-9 Mui Tsai System 5-2-1934 - 15-10-1934", "page_number": 3, "title": "CO129-546-9 Mui Tsai System 5-2-1934 - 15-10-1934", "content_text": "## 4.

The chief attraction was, of course, at Happy Valley on Saturday, when the Ninth Extra Race Meeting was held, in glorious weather. Of the many race-goers, none can have had more reason to be happy than the lucky holder of ticket No. 37163 in the Kwang-tung Handicap, who had the immense satisfaction of seeing Mr. A. C. Pih bring Plain View in first by a head, to net him the first prize of $31,813.60 in the big Sweepstakes.\n\nOn the cricket field, there was one very fine performance by a new recruit of the Hong Kong Cricket Club, F. Haymes, playing for the Club's second eleven against the Indian Recreation Club, achieved the distinction of taking all ten Indian wickets. Going on first change, he sent down 13.3 overs, five of which were maidens, and had 47 runs hit off him. Six times he hit the stumps and on another occasion, he accepted a hard return from N. Singh when the latter looked like winning the match for the other side. It is true that the batting strength of the Indians in this game was very weak, compared to the days when Sirda Khan, F. M. el Arculli, and M. R. Abbas had charge of the side, but the performance is nevertheless a very fine one and will probably earn for Haymes a trial in senior cricket. On another ground, R. T. Broadbridge gave an exhibition of what was described in certain quarters as a Jessopian piece of hitting. Though the bowling he encountered was comparatively weak, there is no doubt that Broadbridge has improved out of all knowledge in the past few seasons, and his play for the Kowloon Cricket Club this year will be watched with much interest.\n\nOn Sunday, the well-patronised hockey match between the Shanghai Ladies' team and a team from the Central British Association Ladies saw a brilliant come-back by Miss Margaret White. Playing a fast and skilful game, she scored the only goal of the match and was responsible for the Association's victory over a side which, on the run of play, was little inferior.\n\n## October 29, 1937\n\n### O.A.G. AMONG LAWN BOWLERS\n\n#### Saturday's Successful Dinner\n\nHis Excellency the Officer Administering the Government, Mr. N. L. Smith, His Honour the Chief Justice, Sir Athol MacGregor, and Commodore E. B. C. Dicken were among the distinguished guests at the dinner of the Hong Kong Lawn Bowls Association, held in the Roof Garden of the Hong Kong Hotel on Oct. 23.\n\nA large gathering of lawn bowlers were present for the prize distribution and the concert which followed.\n\nFollowing dinner, the Loyal Toast was honoured, after which the president of the Association, Mr. R. Basa, welcomed the guests and remarked that the function brought to a close all the activities under the auspices of the Association. The Interport contest, to which all lawn bowlers had been looking forward, had unfortunately been cancelled owing to Northern trouble, and he was sure he expressed the feeling of all present when he extended sympathy to Northern bowlers in their present ordeal.\n\nThe Craigengower C.C., although finishing second in both the first and second divisions, had the consolation of winning the three open championships of the Colony.\n\n#### H.E.'S SPEECH\n\nHis Excellency, the Officer Administering the Government, said: It is a great honour to have been asked to present the prizes to-day, but I confess that I was a little disturbed when I found that this entailed the making of a speech. What with the Budget and a visit to Macao, I think that the reading public has had more than enough of me during the last few days. But what is more to the point is that I suppose of all the people in this room, I am the least qualified to speak about the noble game which is our concern to-night.\n\nSouth China Athletic Association's senior football team delighted their supporters at Caroline Hill by beating a full side from the Hong Kong Football Association by the odd goal in three. In their fine victory, the Chinese had a lot for which to thank the old \"master,\" Fung King-cheung, who scored one of the goals, was partly responsible for the other, and throughout was a source of worry to the F.A. defence.\n\nI used to play in the early days before I came out East, but I must confess that I have never rolled a bowl in anger in this Colony. That is my own fault, and I hope to be able to overcome it in the years to come if I am admitted to the fellowship. Lawn bowls has the great feature of attuning hand and brain, which is, I suppose, the chief object of all games. Those who run about between goal posts or between wickets, or who stride over the country after a small ball may pretend to despise it, but I should say it is in some ways the chess of ball games, calling for foresight and skill and a steady nerve.\n\nAs a social asset, it is unnecessary for me to praise the bowling green. The faces round this table are surely sufficient evidence of this.\n\nI have great pleasure in supporting the toast of the Association, and I thank you for inviting me here to-night.\n\nMr. C. B. Hosking, Hon. Secretary of the Association, proposed the health of the guests in a witty speech, and Commodore Dicken replied. Sir Atholl MacGregor also spoke.\n\n## \"CLOSING DAY\" AT C.S.C.\n\n\"Closing Day\" at the Civil Service Cricket Club on Saturday saw six rinks in play, the \"visitors\" beating their hosts by 4 shots.

When I first came into the House, Members on this side used to get up and go out, purple with anger, when the hon. Member for Bridgeton made the sort of speech we heard from him the other day; and I am wondering why they should cheer him on this occasion when they used to be so rightly angry.\n\nI remember that Ribbentrop has been telling Hitler for the last six months that the governing class in this country is more interested in its cash than in the country. That is what he has been saying; and all I would say to my hon. Friends is that when I hear them cheering a genuinely pacifist speech made by the hon. Member for Bridgeton it gives me a queasy feeling in my stomach, and I do not like it, for I am uneasy about their motives.\n\nI say to the Government and to hon. Members that they have no mandate from the people of this country to betray the people who were killed between 1914 and 1918. They have no mandate to give away this Empire.\n\n### International Situation I NOVEMBER 1938\n\nIt is too true. What is required in this country—I do not know whether we are going to get it, but it is what is required—is something in the nature of a social and economic revolution, and that quickly. Great sacrifices will have to be demanded of all classes of our people if we are to get through. Will they respond? I believe that the people of this country would respond if they got effective leadership, and courageous leadership, and if they were told the truth, which they have not been told during the last 10 years by any political party. We have all sheltered them, largely for the purpose of obtaining votes. That remark applies to both sides of the House. We have all sheltered them; we have all encouraged them not to face facts or to make efforts. Hon. Members opposite are just as much to blame as we are. This country has been encouraged to be lazy during the last 10 years by its political leaders on both sides.\n\nAt Munich, the Prime Minister paid the penalty, with great courage, of five years of indolence and ineptitude on the part of the Government of this country; and we who are always inclined to abuse the Germans and complain of their methods, might at least pay some attention to the example that Germany has set us in two things, in the sacrifice and hard work, and in the real faith and genuine sincerity, of a large proportion of the German population. Against that, we have to put scepticism, prevailing to far too great an extent, and committees. I wish we could have few less committees. They do not have committees in Germany. We set up committees by the score—committees on trade, on the evacuation of school children, on the location of industry, and all the rest of it. They meet, I suppose, once a week or once a month, and report after two or three years, and the Minister writes a little preface and signs it, and their report is circulated by Command of His Majesty to the House of Commons, and that is the end of the whole thing. We cannot compete with German methods by means of committees and White or Blue Papers circulated to this House.\n\nMr. McGovern: Will the hon. Member show me where the speech of the hon. Member for Bridgeton (Mr. Maxton) was pacifist? Surely there is a great difference when a man says, in relation to a war fought between capitalist and Imperialist rivals, \"I will not advocate support for that war\" and when he says, \"I am prepared to defend working-class standards and prepared to assist in the overthrow of capitalism.\" That is what one might term pacifism towards capitalist war, but in working-class action...\n\nI must say to my hon. Friends who sit behind me that I do not like to hear them cheering speeches made by the hon. Member for Bridgeton (Mr. Maxton). I have sat in the House for 14 years with the hon. Member for Bridgeton and I...\n\n### No. 165 revolution.\n\nMr. Boothby: All I can say is that when I hear Members of the Conservative party cheering a proposition to overthrow capitalism I am astonished, and what the hon. Member has now said has only increased my disquiet. I say that we have no mandate to give away the British Empire, to betray the people who fought for it between 1914 and 1918; and if it is not to be given away we have to make a terrific effort to rearm. I should like to conclude by quoting some words which I read on Sunday in the `Observer`, which seem to me to sum up the whole thing:\n\n\"In the existing world we have to keep close company with danger, and no leadership worthy of the name will ever allow us to forget it.\"\n\nE 2 \n74", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-574-13 British capital for China- Prime Minister's statement 5-11-1938 - 5-11-1938.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 564235, "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": "CO129-575-3 Japanese affairs 2-1-1939 - 21-12-1939", "page_number": 198, "title": "CO129-575-3 Japanese affairs 2-1-1939 - 21-12-1939", "content_text": "# HOME AFFAIRS\n\n380. Ever since the war started, the tourist industry has been at a very low ebb, mainly because tourists have regarded Japan as being within the zone of hostilities. It was dangerous to come to Japan.\n\n381. But in Japan, it is thought that the hostilities in China are drawing to a close. Japan, like Germany, is desperately hard up for foreign exchange, and tourists bring this precious commodity. She is as anxious as ever, therefore, to put herself over and impress foreign visitors.\n\n382. Hence the announcement that the Tourist Bureau has been allotted more funds than ever before to widen its propaganda activities and lure tourists to Japan.\n\n383. It remains to be seen whether the police and the port officials, who enjoy such an unenviable reputation amongst travellers in Japan, will help to make this drive a success.\n\n## Financial Restrictions as they Affect the People\n\n### Government Bonds\n\n384. It is the custom in Japan to give large bonuses at the end of the year. This year, the Finance and Home Ministries have notified the prefectural offices to urge all company and factory managements to pay part of the year-end bonuses in Government bonds. The percentage of the bonus to be paid in this way varies from a minimum of 5 per cent. where the bonus is not more than 100 yen to a minimum of 40 per cent. where the bonus is 5,000 yen or more.\n\n385. The absorption of these China \"incident\" bonds, by which Japan has been paying for her activities in China, is rendered easy by the fact that the ordinary Japanese rarely expects to redeem a bond; as long as it continues to pay interest (the average rate being at present about 3.8 per cent.), he is quite happy.\n\n### Gold\n\n386. Japan has been drawing considerably on her reserves of gold to pay for essential imports. Every effort is being made to increase the somewhat meagre output of the gold-mines in Japan and Korea, but in the meantime, the Finance Ministry is requisitioning all gold articles in private possession. These are not likely to be numerous in a country where comparatively little use is made of jewellery, but there are probably many more old family treasures hidden away than the foreigner ordinarily suspects.\n\n### Gasolene\n\n387. The gasolene shortage continues. The army and navy doubtless have immense reserves stored against possible future emergencies, but in Tokyo, the restrictions are becoming increasingly severe. Only a gallon a day is permitted to private owners, most of whom have American cars with a high rate of petrol consumption. Not only have most private owners been obliged to lay their cars up, but it is reported that the Government may requisition all private cars. Since the 1st July, there has been a regulation enforcing an admixture of 5 per cent. alcohol with gasolene, and this ratio will be steadily increased to 20 per cent., the alcohol for the purpose being produced from sweet potatoes. Plants for producing the alcohol are being started in several of the southern prefectures.\n\n### Shortage of Technicians\n\n388. Japan does not export peasants and settlers to the areas under her control in any large numbers, but she does export numerous technicians, technical experts, and entrepreneurs. At the present moment, she finds herself with half China on her hands, and the responsibility for the latter's development rests, she feels, with her. This, too, at a time when industry is going full blast and when there is an actual shortage of skilled labour in Japan. Hence, there is a great drive to fill the shortage of technicians.\n\n389. All technical schools and colleges are being enlarged. Three Imperial universities are being given engineering departments. A millionaire is providing Waseda University, the biggest private university, with an engineering department. All technical institutions are starting night schools. Special engineering institutions, for aviation, chemical fuel research, machine manufacturing, and the like, are being started throughout the country.\n\n## Asia for the Asiatics\n\n390. The following are extracts from a letter sent by Dr. Rabindranath Tagore to the Japanese poet, Mr. Yone Noguchi :-\n\n1. I thank you for taking the trouble to write to me again. I am flattered that you still consider it worth while to take such pains to convert me to your point of view, and I am really sorry that I am unable to come to my senses as you have been pleased to wish it. It seems to me that it is futile for either of us to try to convince the other, since your faith in the infallible right of Japan to bully other Asiatic nations into line with your Government's policy is not shared by me, and my mistrust of a patriotism which claims the right to bring to the altar of its country the sacrifice of other peoples' rights and happiness is sneered at by you as the quiescence of a spiritual vagabond.\n\n\"I must thank you for explaining to me the meaning of our Indian philosophy, and of pointing out that the proper interpretation of Kali and Shiva must compel our approval of Japan's \"dance of death\" in China. I wish you had drawn a moral from a religion more familiar to you and appealed to the Buddha for your justification.\n\nYou must forgive me if my words sound bitter. Believe me, it is sorrow and shame, not anger, that prompt me to write to you. I suffer intensely, not only because the reports of Chinese suffering batter against my heart, but because I can no longer point out with pride the example of a great Japan. It is true that there are no better standards prevalent anywhere else, and that the so-called civilised peoples of the West are proving equally barbarous and even less worthy of trust. If you refer me to them, I have nothing to say. What I should have liked is to be able to refer them to you.\n\nWishing your people, whom I love, not success, but remorse.\n\n391. The full text of this letter appeared in the Indian papers, but, needless to say, the Japanese press has made but the briefest reference to it.\n\n392.

M. Secretary of State for the Colonies. \n\nThe Case upheld \n\nMy Lord, \n\nWe, the undersigned, are the representatives of the husbands and relatives of the women and children who were compulsorily evacuated from Hong Kong over a year ago and who, although the Evacuation order has since been rescinded, are not allowed to return. We wish to bring to your Lordship's attention some of the misery and tragedy which the continued restriction on their return is causing and to the very serious effect it is having on the \"morale\" of the entire Colony. \n\nWe take it that the full details of the arrangements under which the original Evacuation was ordered and carried out have already been made known to Your Lordship. Briefly, the facts are as follows:- \n\nAn order was made for the Evacuation of all British-born women and children, with the exception of those who were qualified nurses or who were in some important or confidential Government department. The decree, as published in the local Press for all to read, including the entire Chinese community, was to the effect that any women resisting the order would, if necessary, be put on board \"kicking and screaming\". The result of this order was a stampede on the part of many of the women to be placed in one or other of the categories mentioned for exemption from the order. It is beyond mere coincidence that among those women who were successful in this were the wives and families of many of the leading Government Officials in the Colony and of the more highly placed members of the social community. This fact alone was enough to instil the seeds of anger and bitterness in the minds of those who either obeyed the order out of a keen sense of patriotism or who were literally and, as we now know, entirely unlawfully dragooned into going. We assure you, my Lord, it is not merely a question of the inconvenience of a temporary separation. The drastic severing of family ties, the ruthless manner in which the evacuation was carried out, and the mental anxiety and suffering of the women and children, some in a very delicate state of health, have already been the direct cause of a permanent splitting up of family relationships, acute mental stress, divorces, deep unhappiness, and in certain cases death. It is now over a year since the Evacuation order was enforced, and the mental, moral, and financial strain is reaching the breaking point. The local situation is serious, and a feeling akin to desperation is steadily growing in the minds of the husbands and relatives, resulting in demoralisation and an inevitable, even although involuntary, slackening in the war effort of the Colony. \n\nThere is also the other side of the problem. If the Evacuation was and still is a Military necessity...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-589-18 Complaints against evacuation scheme 23-11-1940 - 24-10-1941.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 575402, "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": "CO129-590-23 Situation in Hong Kong 25-4-1905 - 25-4-1905", "page_number": 44, "title": "CO129-590-23 Situation in Hong Kong 25-4-1905 - 25-4-1905", "content_text": "43\n\nThey offered me a lift in the car they had at their disposal to where I wished to go. This lift I refused. They told me they considered that the British had fought very well. They also said they would like to return to Japan and that wars were not a good thing.\n\nThe other incident was when I was on the Peak when the house coolie came in and told me a Japanese soldier was in the kitchen and wished to have his food - a tin of bully beef - warmed. I was cross and rather grudgingly allowed the food to be warmed - fuel was very difficult to get then. A Japanese officer came up to the house as well, and I told the coolie to give them their food when warmed on the dining room table. They then asked me to give them some rice, so I looked in the saucepans on the stove and found the rice which was being heated up again for the dogs and told the coolie to give them that. They wouldn't eat it and said it was too poor, so I said I was sorry. They then asked for whiskey and beer, and I told them there was none and gave them tea. They amazed me when, on leaving, they handed me five tins of bully beef. This probably doesn't sound very much, but when food is scarce, bully beef is bully beef and five tins well worth having, particularly as at the time we had no meat at all in the house.\n\nI can quote further incidents of consideration but think these two give the general atmosphere.\n\nThompson's notes read:\n\n\"I know of cases also where Japanese have behaved with kindness and sympathy towards British people, and I cannot but strongly emphasize the value of a fair distinction between individual acts of brutality and kindness from the propaganda point of view.\n\nThe Japanese were most angry at the nature of propaganda reports emanating from Chungking, given by persons who had escaped from Hongkong. While I do not know the full context of the broadcasting, they were undoubtedly received with anger by the Japanese. Their press made much of \"Atrocity charges\" by Mr. Antony Eden shortly before we left Stanley.\n\nIt", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-590-23 Situation in Hong Kong 25-4-1905 - 25-4-1905.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 575403, "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": "CO129-590-23 Situation in Hong Kong 25-4-1905 - 25-4-1905", "page_number": 45, "title": "CO129-590-23 Situation in Hong Kong 25-4-1905 - 25-4-1905", "content_text": "# 44\n\nIt is of paramount importance to distinguish carefully between the various stages of treatment received by British civilian internees since the surrender. During the fighting, the use by the Military of civilian property gave the Japanese strong cause for anger. Following the surrender, it must be acknowledged that, insofar as the city was concerned, most admirable restraint was shown by the Japanese Military command. Our own troops had in many cases discarded their arms, which were subsequently collected by hooligans. There was nothing to stop the Japanese troops pouring into the city. It was not until the following morning that they commenced to filter into the city in good order. Following the surrender, the general fear was that there would be a repetition of the Nanking affair. I give the highest praise for the orderly manner in which the Japanese set about the occupation of the city.\n\nI will break in here and give some extracts from my notes regarding the actual conditions immediately after the capitulation of Hongkong.\n\nThere was no running water, no light, no gas for cooking. The Japanese entry into Hongkong was controlled and orderly. Small incidents of people being stopped and watches and jewellery - watches particularly being removed from them. Food, of course, was short; the Gloucester Hotel was cutting down to two meals per day, one at about 10 a.m. and the other around 7 p.m. There was constriction of movement of all foreigners. Civilians were required to remain indoors and were not allowed out on the streets. Japanese mechanics were busy starting up all cars and putting them into running order for their own use. All telephone lines were cut, and there was no means of communication with other parts of the town. It was just possible, but not advisable, to move about the town, and always with the risk of either unpleasantness from Japanese sentries or being stranded in one spot, being caught between two sentry posts. Boys were still able to buy small amounts of food. There was no transportation for foreigners of any kind. No shops were open; few hawkers were selling presumably looted goods.\n\nTo continue with Thompson's remarks:\n\n\"The subsequent herding of foreigners in droves through the city to the Chinese Hotels was an act calculated to make them lose the greatest face with the Chinese. It failed because the British and Americans could appreciate the humorous side. While the Japanese must be held primarily responsible for the treatment meted out at the Chinese Hotels and for the first two months...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-590-23 Situation in Hong Kong 25-4-1905 - 25-4-1905.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 575540, "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": "CO129-590-23 Situation in Hong Kong 25-4-1905 - 25-4-1905", "page_number": 182, "title": "CO129-590-23 Situation in Hong Kong 25-4-1905 - 25-4-1905", "content_text": "# AFTER HONGKONG\n\nThe story of Hongkong has been told. The first feeling of all who heard it was horror. Hard on the heels of the horror came anger—a surge of anger against the brutes who lift bloodstained hands in sanctimonious gestures and prate about chivalry.\n\nThe horror was instinctive. The anger was inevitable, and it will last. But we shall do ourselves little service if our only answer to the savageries of Hongkong is a spate of furious words. A more realistic voice speaks in the resolution sent to Mr. Churchill by the Midland group of M.P.s, in which they call for a campaign of awakening. They say:\n\n\"In the opinion of this group of members the majority of the people of this country do not yet realise that the atrocities perpetrated by the Axis Powers may be the fate of the citizens of all parts of the British Commonwealth, unless the undivided thought and energy of all classes is concentrated on the war effort.\"\n\nThat is the true lesson, the stark warning, of those murdered soldiers and ravished women.\n\nFor too long, in these quiet months, we have been sunk in a sort of fatalistic torpor. We have looked on the Far East as a distant panorama of dim disasters. Even Russia has seemed remote. The cries of the sufferers in Hongkong should open our eyes at last to the need for the utmost unity, the utmost labours, the utmost use of all the fighting strength we have.\n\nThe peoples of the Empire must stand together. It is now or never. The Malayans stood aside from the battle and are now Japanese slaves.\n\nWhat of India?\n\nThe threat is very near to those countless millions who have lived in peace for generations without fear of any man. Will they come together before it is too late? Will they, under the shadow of a great evil, put aside their differences and fight for the freedom that alone has allowed them to differ? They can hope for no mercy, as fellow Asiatics, from the marauders over the border. The Chinese and Indian prisoners in Hongkong were fellow Asiatics, unarmed and helpless—and their fate was torture and death.\n\nWithout unity, all the free peoples, of all creeds and all races, will go down before the wild beasts at large in the world. Without sacrifices sterner than any we have yet made, we shall not get the arms we need.\n\nThose things must come first. The cry for vengeance on the butchers of Hongkong is a natural cry, but it must not distract us from looking the facts in the face. Vengeance, full vengeance, is not yet within our power.\n\nThe time for vengeance will come. The British people have long endurance, and, when necessary, they also have long memories. But the brutes of Berlin and Tokio have to be beaten before they can be arraigned before the bar of justice; and in the meantime, as Mr. Donald Nelson said to the people of America last night, \"We have got to get tough with ourselves before we can be tough with ...\n\n**Evening News** \n`1 1 MAR 1947` \n`181`", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-590-23 Situation in Hong Kong 25-4-1905 - 25-4-1905.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 578006, "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": "CO129-591-4 Situation in enemy occupied Hong Kong 7-1-1944 - 21-11-1944", "page_number": 27, "title": "CO129-591-4 Situation in enemy occupied Hong Kong 7-1-1944 - 21-11-1944", "content_text": "Nothing the Japanese can do will break the British spirit. An example of this occurred during the summer of 1942 when it was the habit to hold open-air concerts in the early part of the evening. The Japanese were quick to see the propaganda value of this, and during one of the performances, several high-ranking officials appeared accompanied by camera men. The audience and performers sensed the reason, and every time the cameras clicked, hands shot up from every side giving the sign \"V\" for victory and cheering loudly.\n\nA few days later, we were informed by the Chinese Superintendents that every film had been ruined and that there was \"great anger up the hill.\" As a result, concerts were banned, and internees forbidden to gather in groups except for Sunday services. Since then, permission for a few official concerts has been granted, but it is interesting to note that practically every weekend, in the hall of St. Stephen's, one will find a \"full dress rehearsal\" of some play or concert in progress!\n\nIf the Red Cross supplies shipped on board \"Tei-A Maru\" have reached the Camp, they will do much to alleviate suffering and boost morale; otherwise, it is feared that many of the elderly and sick will succumb to starvation this winter.\n\nI witnessed the arrival at Stanley Prison of Sir Vandeleur Grayburn and Mr. Streatfield of the Hong Kong & Shanghai Banking Corporation.\n\nThey were driven to the prison in a grey Vauxhall car, and from our quarters, we surreptitiously watched the proceedings. Sir Vandeleur was handcuffed, and Mr. Streatfield bound with his hands in his pockets. In this state, they were made to stand in the courtyard for some considerable time. They appeared to be emaciated and very haggard.\n\nA second car (small van) contained many Chinese tied together and arrived at the same time. It is presumed that they were connected with the case.\n\nHon. Mr. Gimson endeavoured to learn the nature of the charges without avail.\n\nSome time during August 1943, the Japanese authorities on the prison staff informed Mr. Gimson that Sir Vandeleur had died. The body was handed over at the prison gates and taken to the camp mortuary, but as it had been kept by the Japanese for days after death, it was in a state of decomposition. Our medical opinion was that death was due to cardiac beri-beri.\n\nThe Japanese returned with the remains an unopened bottle of vitamin pills which Lady Grayburn had sent in to her husband many weeks prior to his death, and which may have helped his condition had he been permitted to take them.\n\nSir Vandeleur was buried in rice sacks as are all who die in Stanley Internment Camp.\n\nPage 27\n\nField cards are allowed each month from immediate relatives in Camp to local Prisoner of War Camps.

Epstein\n\nBritish Writers about Hongkong like to point out that when the Union Jack was hoisted over the island it was just a bare rock with a couple of tiny fishing villages clinging precariously to it, and that in the subsequent century it grew into a bustling city of over a million inhabitants and one of the world's greatest ports.\n\nThe Chinese, on the other hand, are distinctly unenthusiastic about this development. They often ask rhetorically how Americans would feel if Manhattan had been occupied and built up by a foreign power which clung stubbornly to it. They tend to regard Hongkong as a subtraction from China, rather than an addition to it. The situation was dramatized recently by Chungking's complaint to UNRRA that the amount of rice allotted to the tiny colony was roughly equal to that sent to all the rest of China. (1)\n\nThe two sides of the Hongkong picture are apparent to every visitor.\n\nIt is indisputable that the port has grown, under British administration, from nothingness to a powerful material and trading position. But its political life is dominated by a few thousand British and its economy by the British Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation and such giant firms as Jardine's. Although they form ninety-nine percent of the population, the position of the Chinese has been symbolized by their exclusion from the choicest residential section - the famous and beautiful \"Peak.\"\n\nThe colony possesses a reasonable facsimile of modern administration. But its citizens have no political rights and do not vote. (2) An opium monopoly existed before the war, under official control but a reminder of the trade that precipitated the first Anglo-Chinese war. There is protection for life and limb, but the police, whom the people fear because they have no control over them, are corrupt.\n\nThe skyline on either side of the harbor is imposingly punctuated by the great Hongkong and Shanghai Bank Building, the palatial Hongkong, Gloucester, and Peninsula hotels and the mansions of Chinese millionaires which present an opulent and modern façade. In striking contrast to these are the brothels of Whanchai, stretching for many blocks, and the incredible slums of the western area where the crowding and tuberculosis rate are among the worst in the world. \"Cockloft,\" \"cubicle\" and \"bed-space\" are the commonest terms.\n\nMr. Epstein was in China for some twelve years as newspaperman and correspondent.

From early days in Hong Kong, various kaifong have also, from time to time, done a great deal to promote primary education. Another of their traditional undertakings was of a semi-religious kind when they organised holiday festivals on the anniversary of an important deity, or arranged processions to avert or diminish the effects of some great disaster which might be attributable to some god's negligence or anger.\n\n6. But during the twenty years before the war, the old kaifong in Hong Kong gradually died away in most of the urban areas. In some districts, the whole thing was apparently forgotten. In others, the tradition became at best a half-hearted affair kept up by a few individuals. Repairing public bridges and mending roads had long been the responsibility of the official Public Works Department. The provision of free medical aid had been increasingly undertaken by yet other civil servants or concentrated in large voluntary Western-style institutions or in the Tung Wah Hospitals. Though it is interesting that that venerable and purely Chinese charitable organisation (the Tung Wah group of Hospitals) has not only always provided free medical aid for those in need but has carried out another traditional kaifong activity in their supply of free coffins and in their arrangements for free burials for the poor.\n\n7. By 1941, very little indeed was being heard of the kaifong. The Japanese occupation apparently put the final touches to their disappearance. After 1945, the last remaining Chinese Public Dispensaries were taken over by the Medical Department. In the whole of urban Hong Kong and Kowloon, there was only one pre-war Kaifong of any importance which was trying to struggle into life again.\n\n8. I have spent some time on these old kaifong because they are amongst the most important ancestors of the present-day Kaifong Welfare Associations and similar bodies. In spite of a somewhat chequered history in Hong Kong, they built up a fine record for certain forms of public service, besides playing a not unimportant part in the Colony's social history.\n\n9. But now we must turn to their successors, of whom you may have read an increasing amount in the (Hong Kong) Chinese and English press during the last two years.\n\nThe first of these new associations was started in the densely populated residential, industrial, and commercial district of Shamshuipo on the Kowloon mainland, where some local Chinese gentlemen set to work on two assumptions. They believed that the old kaifong and their traditions of public service were not by any means entirely forgotten, in spite of the evidence of the last twenty years and in spite of Japanese occupation. Also, they realised that social welfare does not mean mere relief work or socially unprofitable mass charity; that it should include a whole network of constructive services aimed at genuinely helping people seek to improve in practical ways their own welfare, and to maintain that improvement. They believed that these two sets of ideas—the one looking back to the best traditions of the old kaifong and the other drawn from a broad and constructive Western interpretation of social welfare—could be blended together. The whole emphasis of this new Shamshuipo Kaifong Welfare Association and of the fifteen other genuine ones which were to follow was accordingly to be on practical work by as many residents of a district as possible for their own district and for their fellow-residents. That was the way the Shamshuipo Association started, and the way that all the other genuine Kaifong Welfare Associations started as well—local Chinese meeting together to discuss their ideas for their own district's welfare. It was also perhaps natural that these groups used, from the start, to ask the Social Welfare Office whether there was any advice or aid which it could offer to help them realise their aims. We did what we could. The actual development of each Association usually followed a fairly clear pattern. First, there was a \"t'aam wa wui\" or informal discussion group organised by the original sponsors. From this emerged a Preparatory Committee which got down to the hard work of planning and organising a membership campaign, arguing out the form and functions of the proposed Association, drafting a\n\nPage 30\n\nPage 31", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-629-8 Social policy 1-12-1949 - 31-12-1951.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 } ]
