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.

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.

Garcina Antur \n\nColonist \n\n# Proclamation by CHEV, Magistrate of the Nanhai District (Canton).\n\nThe Magistrate has received the following instructions from His Honor the Judicial Commissioner -\n\n\"On the 24th day of the 12th month of the 7th year of Tungche (February 5th 1869) the Judicial Commissioner received instructions, as follows, from the Viceroy:\n\n'In consequence of the frequency with which acts of piracy have been committed at sea by trading and fishing vessels, it has been agreed with the British Admiral Keppel that a stringent prohibition should be promulgated forbidding trading vessels proceeding to sea from carrying any other armament (in the shape of firearms) than guns and muskets, the use of stinkpots being interdicted, and that fishing vessels should not be allowed to carry either an armament or stinkpots. Subsequently to this, petitions were on repeated occasions presented by Chêu Chih-Kai and others, representing the shipping interests of the Xiangshan District, setting forth that in the various maritime divisions of the Province a great variety of junks exist, differing in numerous particulars, and employed indifferently as traders or in the fishery. A sweeping prohibition against carrying an armament would be prejudicial, it was added, to the safety of life and property.\n\n'The Viceroy, animated by the desire to afford the fullest consideration and regard to the interests of the people, deemed it better that a strict code of regulations should be drawn up, in order to avoid the danger of letting precautions against piracy become a dead letter, in preference to clashing with the public interests by rigidly following out the letter of the existing law. He therefore drew up a set of rules, requiring the establishment of Ngaochang (Superintendents of Shipping) and Kirchang (tything chiefs), and the issue of registers and deposit of bonds.\n\nThese were communicated to all functionaries exercising jurisdiction along the coast, with orders for the issue by them of a notification to the masters of all trading and fishing vessels within their respective districts, enjoining upon these latter that in all cases of the construction of sea-going vessels the provisions of the Ordinances must be fulfilled in respect to the taking of bonds, inspection, issue of registers and establishment of Nganchang and Kiachang; and further that all vessels outgoing to sea must carry their official register on board for purposes of examination when necessary. The local authorities were also commanded to institute a thorough scrutiny with reference to all vessels, enrolling them in tythings and inscribing them in registries, the heads of tythings being required to give bonds which, after being authenticated by the local authorities, it was directed should be transmitted to the superior departments in the 12th month of every year. The British Consul, Mr Robertson, has now forwarded to the Viceroy a copy of the Station Orders which the British Admiral Kuppel proposes issuing with respect to joint operations for the suppression of piracy; and this has been transmitted to the Judicial Commissioner for his inspection and report.\n\nThe report having been received and orders issued with reference thereto, the Viceroy has further to point out that a passage occurs in the Station Orders to the effect that trading and fishing vessels will be overhauled and their papers examined, the object of which is the due discrimination between vessels of good or piratical character, in the course of joint action with the Chinese Government. It is necessary, therefore, that copies of the register issued by the subordinate authorities to the junkmen be sent to the British Consul, Mr Robertson, for transmission to Admiral Keppel, in order that the officers under his command may be provided with the necessary means of comparison.\n\nA form of Register is accordingly devised and a copy thereof is transmitted to the Judicial Commissioner, who will issue orders to the District Magistrates to proceed at once to have copies printed in conformity with the same, which they are to stamp and issue, notifying to all masters of sea-going vessels within their districts that the enrolment must be finally completed within six months from the commencement of the eighth year of Tungche (i.e., by the 7th August 1869). All who have not already taken out registers must hasten to apply for the same, and those who have already received a document of the kind must exchange it for the new register without delay. The enrolment and registration must be completely effected within the above-named period of six months; otherwise, any vessels not having complied with this requirement on being overhauled by naval cruisers at sea and found without a register will forthwith be seized and handed over to the tribunals to be proceeded against.'\n\nThe form of Register annexed to the foregoing instructions is worded as follows:\n\n'Henceforward in respect to all sea-going merchant and fishing vessels, report shall be made at the time of their building to the authorities of the District, who will require the deposit of guarantees by the Superintendents of shipping, tything men, and neighbours, before granting permission to build. On completion of the vessel, report must be made to the authorities, who after inspection will issue a Register, specifying in detail the name and age of the junkmaster, the name of the vessel, the names and description of the steersman and crew, the dimensions and build of the vessel, her number of masts, and the particulars of her armament. In each District every ten vessels will be enrolled as a Kia (tything) and from among the masters of the said 10 junks a man of experience and probity shall be chosen to act as chief of the tything. If any piracy be committed by one of the said number of vessels, and no information be lodged by the remainder, they shall be held equally responsible for the offence. For every ten Kia a Ngao-chang (Superintendent of shipping) shall be appointed, whose special duty it will be to exercise supervision over them. If in any District the number of vessels do not amount to one hundred (ten Kia), a Ngao-chang shall still be appointed; and when the number of vessels exceeds one hundred and fifty, two Ngao-chang shall be appointed. Trading vessels shall be classed in the tything by pairs, according to the number of their masts; and of fishing junks ten pairs shall constitute a tything. The Register shall be renewed at the end of every five years; and all vessels, whether employed as traders or in fishing, must carry their registers on board whenever they put to sea, and be prepared to submit the same to the inspection of all armed cruisers belonging to the various naval stations, which will be authorized to seize and hand over to the local authorities for trial any vessel found unprovided with a register. If, on examination, proof of the commission of piratical offences be elicited, the individuals thus seized shall be punished according to the law; and in the case of pirates being captured, on ascertaining the shipping division and tything to which the vessel apprehended belongs, all parties concerned shall be respectively proceeded against according to the degree of their responsibility.\n\n'No vessel of any description whatsoever shall be allowed to carry on board the missile known as the stinkpot, and violation of this rule shall be duly punished.'\n\nThe above instructions having been received, the Magistrate has directed his police to give notice to all concerned, and to call upon them to make report in conformity with the same, in order that all vessels may be registered in tythings and be placed under bonds; in addition whereof, he issues this present Proclamation. Wherefore, be it known to the masters of all trading and fishing vessels. Be it known to ye that in obedience to the regulations now issued all sea-going vessels henceforward built must be reported to the Magistracy, as the rules provide, at the time of building, in order that guarantees may be taken, whereupon, and not before, permission for building will be granted. On the completion of any vessel, the same must be reported for inspection and for the issue of an official register, Shipping Superintend...",

        "content_text": "# March 1st, 1929.\n\n## Two N.C.O.'s Receive Medals\n\nTo the strains of Handel's 'Scipio' March, the General inspected the ranks, chatting genially with various officers and men from time to time. Then, returning to the saluting base, the General took the salute as the corps marched past in Company formation.\n\nThe companies marched exceptionally well, and the swinging kilts of the Scotties made a brave sight which was accentuated by the flashing glint of swords and bayonets.\n\nAt the halt in front of the General, the wings of the Corps formed left and right companies respectively, the parade taking the shape of three sides of a square. The General then bestowed long service medals on C.S.M. Green and Sergt. Jack. He then made a farewell speech.\n\nThe General spoke warmly of the progress made by the band. This was their first appearance at an annual inspection and they had done extremely well, he said.\n\nThe four years he had spent in Hong Kong had proved to him the value of the Corps as a defence force, and, as a trained body of men, they were a decided asset to the Colony. They were a credit to their energetic and painstaking Commandant, Lieut.-Col. Bird.\n\nMany changes had taken place, and new companies had been formed in order to cope with modern demands. The Corps was now working on right lines and he assured them that, if they were needed in an emergency, they would take their place as a recognised unit side by side with regular forces.\n\n## The New Colours\n\nIt gave him special pleasure, he continued, to observe the new colours, presented to the Corps by the ladies of the Colony, on parade for the first time.\n\nThe Corps would find a warm friend in his successor. General Sandilands had commanded a Territorial Brigade at home not many years ago. Thus he would understand the needs and difficulties of the Corps and would prove a most helpful adviser to them.\n\n\"And now,\" he concluded, \"I wish you goodbye and good luck!\" With the tang of the trombones and cornets and the steady beat of the drum keeping them in step, the Corps swung in fours from the Parade Ground and marched back to their Headquarters.\n\nTo-day, they have donned their civilian clothes and are back again at their office desks wondering if the \"boss\" was there and if he noticed them and their drill.\n\nH.A.F.\n\n## CHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT\n\n## NATIONAL DANCES AT KOWLOON\n\n## EIGHTEEN NATIONS REPRESENTED\n\n\"Great oaks from little acorns grow.\" It was at a gathering of ladies at an afternoon tea that the subject of the \"Vira dances\" of Portugal was discussed and the idea was thrown out that probably Mme. Tamagnini, the artistic wife of the popular Governor of Macao, H.E. Senhor Artur Tamagnini Barbosa, might be found willing to arrange and conduct the practices for a display of a few of the national dances of Portugal in Hong Kong. This was the genesis of the international dances festival which took place at the Club de Recreio on Saturday afternoon and which was pronounced such a conspicuous success by the hundreds of residents from Hong Kong and Macao gathered within the hall of the Recreio building, in King's Park.\n\nMrs. W. T. Southorn, wife of the Colonial Secretary, developed the proposal to stage the Portuguese national dance into a great social reunion in which the nationalities forming part of the great cosmopolitan community of Hong Kong could be made to feel actively interested.\n\nThe entertainment opened with a contradance executed by some forty little children, for the most part sons and daughters of members of the Club de Recreio. The boys were dressed in black as little pages, and the girls represented diminutive ballad dancers in dresses of light and pleasing hues. The music was provided by the Portuguese juvenile orchestra with Master Horacio Graca Ozorio as conductor. The dance was staged by Mr. Duarte Baptista.\n\nThe Misses Stella and Helen and Rachel Wong next took the floor with the \"Dance of the Lanterns,\" the three young ladies being gorgeously dressed in Chinese costume.\n\nThe Portuguese had formed a Company which was keenly enthusiastic. He deplored the apathy with regard to enlistment on the part of Britishers in the Colony and hoped that this would be remedied. He hoped also that they would expand the present Army Service Corps Cadre and thus ensure an efficient system of mechanical transport to deal with emergencies.\n\nFrance contributed a second item - Danse Des Lutins - to the first part of the programme, the execution of which by Mlle. Bonenfant with a delicacy of taste and finish was very greatly admired.\n\n## Russian Muzrka\n\nMiss O'Keefe's talented pupils delighted the audience with Russian mazurka. The bright dresses, the high black top boots and the entire get-up were greatly admired. The young ladies were deservedly applauded; they were the Misses Bella and Betty Pestonjee, Norma and Thelma May, Marion Bryson, Tamara Ellis, Nellie Field and Maud George.\n\n## Great Britain's Part\n\nThe first part of the programme concluded with items of an Old English dance and an Irish Jig. For this again the audience had to thank Miss O'Keefe and her versatile little boy and girl pupils, no less than sixteen of whom appeared on the stage in gay dresses for the English dance and four for the jig. For the latter Margery Simpson partnered Billy Mayes, and Joyce Crapnell Patsy Wood. The little entertainers received deserved appreciation from the large audience.\n\n## Al Fresco Tea\n\nDuring the interval selections of music were played by the Band of the Queen's Royal Regiment and were greatly enjoyed. Tea served in the open on the beautiful lawn of the Recreio Club.\n\n## Portuguese Songs and Dances\n\nWhen the curtain lifted for the second part of the entertainment, it was seen with what care and thought Mme. Tamagnini had designed the staging to represent a Portuguese village. The scene opens in a countryside. There is considerable gaiety and hilarity and the text was described in Mme. Tamagnini's address. Dances from the provinces of Algarve, Minho and Coimbra were artistically executed by some 36 leading residents of Macao and the national songs of fair Lusitania were heard by some for the first time on a stage in Hong Kong. The dresses were greatly admired for their colourful beauty and design and are just those that are worn by the peasants in Portugal. Music was played on the national instruments - the mandolin, the guitar and concertinas. At intervals they were supplemented by a Columbia Kloster electric gramophone kindly lent by Anderson Music Co.\n\nIn the typical dress of a French lassie and lad, Mlle. Bonenfant and M. de la Prade earned well-deserved applause in a danse Alsacienne which they performed to perfection to the accompaniment of Mme. de la Prade at the piano. The little couple are very young, and gave an exhibition of skill remarkable for their tender years.\n\n## \"Harbinger of Spring\"\n\nNotable for their poetic conception and daintiness of colouring, the Japanese contributors to the programme staged what is charmingly described as the \"Harbinger of Spring.\" The stage setting, the lantern light effects, and the scenery were all the work of the Japanese sub-committee who carried it out under the personal direction of Mr. M. Kitayama, hon. secretary of the Japanese Residents' Association. The performers were Mrs. C. Makiyama, and the Misses Y. Takeda and E. Hachiuma (dancers), Mesdames K. Kineya and Y. Hasuda (singers) with Mesdames S. Wada, Y. Kobayashi and Y. Takeda as accompanists.\n\n## Grand Finale\n\nThen came the grand spectacular finale in an international tableau representing no less than eighteen nations.\n\nThanks must be accorded Col. Cardew, the musical director, for staging this \"federation of the world\" so thoroughly representative of the cosmopolitan community of Hong Kong and to all the ladies taking part in it.\n\nPage 281\nPage 122",

That evening Mr. \nGellion gave an official dinner at his residence which \nwas attended by the Governor and all the principal \nColonial officials, while the following day was occupied \nwith a luncheon in my honour given by the Governor \nat which the most proper sentiments were exchanged about \"our \nancient and noble alliance\", \na tea party given by myself, \nLieutenant-Commander D. Lampen, R.N. and the officers of \nH.M.S. *Moth\", and an unofficial dinner party given by \nMr. Gellion. H.M.S. \"Moth\" left Macao before 6.00 \non August 4th.\n\nDr. Artur Tamagnini de Sousa Barbosa is doing \nhis third spell as Governor of Macao. I understood him \nto tell me that he was concurrently Director General of \nthe Portuguese Colonies in the Ministry at Lisbon. I had \nopportunities for considerable conversations with him, and \nhe was very cordial. Dr. Barbosa mentioned various minor \ndifficulties with the Hong Kong Government and with the \nChinese Government, which included recognition by Hong \nKong of certain Mercantile marine officers' tickets issued \nby Macao, visits by Hong Kong Governors (of which the last \nwas in 1933); troubles with the Chinese Authorities about \nCustoms",

N. Allen, the local representative of the Ministry of Transport, was directed to investigate on behalf of the Services claims in respect of the requisitioning and denial of vessels in 1941, with a view to ascertaining the total potential liability and its apportionment as between this Government and the Services.\n\n2. In consultation with local Service representatives and my advisers, Mr. Allen recently completed his investigations and prepared a report, dated the 1st July, which he transmitted to the Ministry of Transport from whom I assume you will by now have received a copy. You will know, therefore, that the main recommendation made by Mr. Allen is that the total losses should be shared in the following proportions: this Government 35%, the Admiralty 35%, the War Office 25%, and the Air Ministry 5%.\n\n3. While it is gratifying to note that these proposals represent a substantial concession to the views put forward by this Government, I must still urge that the whole cost of these \"Denial\" claims should be the responsibility of the Service departments. The circumstances in which they arose have been set forth in Mr. Allen's report; I do not propose to enlarge on these in any detail, but the conclusion that is inevitably forced upon one after a perusal of the report is that it is clear that the action taken by this Government and by the various Service departments in sinking any craft was dictated, not by the requirements of local defence, for it was then clear that the Colony was doomed, but by the earnest desire to afford the maximum assistance to His Majesty's Government in the long-term prosecution of the war. The purely selfish interests of the Colony were subordinated to Imperial interests, and public opinion here generally regards with profound disapproval the suggestion that the Colony should bear any part of the cost of this particular war claim. That this feeling has not been more vocal has been due to the realisation that the attitude of His Majesty's Government had at least been modified to the extent of giving consideration to the question of liability. If the Colony is required to bear even 35% of the cost, the public, in view of its sympathy with Britain's present plight which was expressed in the Legislative Council debate of the 2nd June last, may be induced to accept the settlement, but I feel bound to emphasize that the impression that will remain will be a lasting one, which may have the most unfortunate results in any future emergency, particularly in view of the settled policy of granting increased representation to unofficial interests in the government of the Colony.\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE\nRECEIVED\nARTUR CREECH JONES, M.P.\n26 AUG 1948\n\n4. Pending/. \nC. O. REGY.",
