H. CARVALHO, Secretary\n\nHongkong, 20th January, 1857.\n\nTo the Editor of the \"HONGKONG REGISTER.\"\n\nMACAO, 1st February, 1857.\n\nDEAR SIR—The 10 mandarins, who came from Shang-hae, have been here for a few hours, and having taken their dinner at Cau-qa hong, embarked in the ensuing for Casa Branca, and from there to Yan-san and Cass feathers; and 5 of them bare blue buttons. 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.

On the day preceding I received from the said San-qui one--On the 27th of the same month seven, and on the 24th-two. \n\nBut of the thirty five here specified I can state of my own knowledge that not one was of the 45 brought from Hongkong before referred to. \n\nAnd I further solemnly declare and state that some time in the said month of December 1859, being in Hongkong, I heard that over a hundred men were in a hong on the sea side at the west of Victoria, and thinking that these men might be desirous of entering into a labour contract to go to Havana, I called at the said Hong and found 40 or 50 Coolees, who one and all declined, through the Interpreter with me, to go to Havana. Shortly afterwards I heard, in Macau, that these coolees had come to Macao when I again enquired if they would go to Havana, and was then told that some of them had gone to the hong of Mr. Beuzant, but none of them were engaged for me to go in the Emilie Pireire or any other ship under my agency. And the names and native places of the coolees supplied to me by Sam-qui from the Sun fook tie hong aforesaid, on the days mentioned were as follow:-all of the said places from which these coolees came being on the west coast of China, or here about,--not on the East coast according to what would be correct descriptions of places about Kap-chee. \n\n### Names and native places of certain coolees received from Sam-qui, for the Emilie Pireire.— \n\n| Date | No. | Name | Age | Native Place |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 24th December 1859 | 230 | Lun A sam | 30 | Chan-sian |\n| 24th December 1859 | 231 | Siu A foo | 22 | Pun-hy |\n| 27th December 1859 | 232 | Chuo Ajom | 24 | Ton-cun |\n| 31st December 1859 | 346 | Hip Atun |  |  |\n| 31st December 1859 | 347 | Tan Ahi |  |  |\n| 31st December 1859 | 348 | Chao Apoo | 1 | Ton-cun |\n| 31st December 1859 | 349 | Chao Apat | 30 | Tim-pac |\n| 31st December 1859 | 350 | Choi Asan | 30 |  |\n| 31st December 1859 | 351 | Lopien bien | 35 |  |\n| 31st December 1859 | 352 | Choi Apuu | 25 |  |\n| 31st December 1859 | 353 | Tom Atun | 32 |  |\n| 31st December 1859 | 354 | Chou Aquae |  |  |\n| 31st December 1859 | 355 | Tu Apun | 32 | Tim pac.

For it is to be remembered that in leaving to Annam the right to conclude Commercial Treaties, the French have been careful to stipulate that such Treaties must contain nothing inconsistent with the Treaties with France, and that the French Government must be informed before they are concluded.\n\nIt seems to me to be, in fact, doubtful whether the more liberal interpretation put by the Duc Decazes' paper upon the Commercial Treaty is warranted by the wording of it; and consequently if that Treaty were ratified as it stands by the French Assembly, it might hereafter be construed as conferring, perpetually and exclusively, upon French Agents the jurisdiction over foreigners, which, even as a temporary arrangement, seems to be in principle open to objection.\n\nI have, &c. (Signed). LYONS.\n\nInclosure in No. 78.\n\nMemorandum.\n\nLE Ministre des Affaires Etrangères a examiné, avec toute l'attention qu'il mérite, le memorandum du Gouvernement de Sa Majesté Britannique en date du 15 Novembre, 1874, relatif au Traité de Commerce conclu entre la France et le Royaume d'Annam. Les observations développées dans ce document portent principalement sur trois points: les droits de juridiction attribués aux Agents Français en tant qu'ils s'entendraient aux sujets des nations Chrétiennes; le privilège en vertu duquel ces mêmes fonctionnaires seraient provisoirement appelés à prononcer sur les difficultés pouvant survenir entre des étrangers et l'administration des Douanes; enfin, les faveurs stipulées au profit des bâtiments chargés de marchandises provenant ou à destination de Saigon.\n\nDes explications confidentielles ayant déjà été échangées à ce sujet avec son Excellence M. l'Ambassadeur d'Angleterre, le Duc Decazes a pu se convaincre qu'il s'était produit et qu'il existait encore un malentendu sur la portée de quelques-unes des clauses des arrangements intervenus entre le Gouvernement Français et la Cour de Hué.\n\nIl en est ainsi, notamment pour ce qui concerne les attributions dont les résidents Français se trouvent momentanément investis par le Traité Politique, à l'égard des étrangers, dans les nouveaux ports du Royaume d'Annam ouverts à la navigation. En effet, le Cabinet Français s'est proposé, par cette disposition, de satisfaire aux nécessités d'une situation temporaire en assurant à tous les étrangers sans distinction de nationalité qui aborderaient sur le territoire de l'Annam la protection que l'administration Annamite serait hors d'état de leur procurer dans les premiers temps qui suivront la mise à exécution des Traités. Le Cabinet Français a voulu ainsi réserver aux négociants étrangers, aussi bien qu'à ses propres nationaux, un recours contre l'inexpérience et l'animosité possibles de certains fonctionnaires Annamites, tant qu'aucune autre Puissance n'aurait encore d'Agents Consulaires dans le Royaume d'Annam.\n\nOn ne doit pas oublier que si le Gouvernement Annamite s'est engagé à conformer sa politique extérieure à celle de France et à ne rien changer à ses relations diplomatiques actuelles, cet engagement n'exclut ni la conclusion de Traités de Commerce ni l'établissement de Consuls étrangers, qui en serait la conséquence naturelle. Rien ne s'oppose, en effet, à ce que le Gouvernement de Sa Majesté Britannique ouvre à ce sujet des négociations avec le Royaume d'Annam s'il juge à propos de le faire, et le Gouvernement Français est même tout disposé à l'aider, dans ce but, de ses bons offices auprès de la Cour de Hué.\n\nCette stipulation, empreinte d'un esprit évident de libéralisme, ne saurait donc causer aucun ombrage, et nous pouvons ajouter qu'il en est de même de celles qui attribuent à l'Agent Français le droit de statuer, de concert avec un magistrat Annamite, sur les contestations entre les négociants étrangers et la Douane. Il suffira d'une simple observation pour écarter toute incertitude à cet égard; le Cabinet Français entend bien que les Consuls étrangers, dès qu'ils seront installés, auront la charge et le soin de pourvoir désormais par eux-mêmes à la protection de leurs nationaux dans les matières de Douane, aussi bien que dans les questions de juridiction.\n\n69\n\nEn ce qui concerne la clause relative au port de Saigon, nous devons constater que le Gouvernement de la Reine s'est mépris sur les raisons qui l'ont dictée comme sur la portée qu'il convient d'y donner. Elle est ainsi conçue: \"Les marchandises expédiées de Saïgon pour un des ports ouverts de l'Annam ou à destination du Yunnan, en transit par le Tsong-Koi et celles qui sont expédiées de l'un de ces ports ou du Yunnan pour Saïgon, ne seront soumises qu'à la moitié des droits frappant les marchandises de toute autre provenance ou ayant une autre destination.\"\n\nCe n'est pas à titre gratuit que le Cabinet Français a réclamé et obtenu ce régime spécial pour sa Colonie de Saigon. Il a dû préalablement renoncer au reliquat des sommes encore dues pour l'ancienne indemnité de guerre et qui ne s'élèvent pas à moins de 5,000,000. Il a dû prendre l'engagement de fournir au Gouvernement Annamite l'appui matériel qui lui est nécessaire pour maintenir chez lui l'ordre et la tranquillité et détruire la piraterie qui désole ses côtes; lui promettre 5 bâtiments de guerre à vapeur, 100 canons approvisionnés de 200 coups, et 1,000 fusils à tir rapide; c'est à ce prix que la France acquérait un droit difficile à contester, à des compensations temporaires, et qui n'atténuent qu'incomplètement l'importance de ses sacrifices. Les tarifs actuels sont établis pour une durée de dix ans; ce laps de temps s'écoulera certainement avant que le Gouvernement Français ne soit rentré dans ses déboursés et le privilège qu'il revendique pour le port de Saigon, pendant ces dix années, n'est qu'un faible dédommagement de la somme considérable qu'il abandonne aux Annamites, du matériel de guerre qu'il met à leur disposition et des dépenses qu'il prend à sa charge.\n\nA l'expiration des tarifs actuels, il y aura lieu d'examiner si l'état de choses qu'ils consacrent doit être maintenu ou abrogé. Mais il est d'autant moins possible aujourd'hui de renoncer au bénéfice de ces dispositions, qu'elles ne sont nullement exclusives. Elles seront, en effet, applicables aux bâtiments étrangers comme aux bâtiments nationaux; Saigon est un port franc, et il n'est que trop connu que les établissements de commerce Français créés dans ce port ne sont ni les plus nombreux, ni ceux qui font le trafic le plus étendu.\n\nLe Ministre des Affaires Etrangères de France se plaît à espérer que ces explications suffiront pour rendre aux Traités conclus avec le Royaume d'Annam leur véritable signification. Le Gouvernement Britannique mieux éclairé rendra donc pleine justice à des arrangements qui ouvrent au commerce de toutes les Puissances de nouveaux et précieux débouchés jusqu'à présent fermés à toutes les tentatives, et que la France n'a pu disputer à la barbarie qu'aux prix de longs et cruels sacrifices. Il serait, en vérité, inexplicable que celle des Puissances dont le pavillon occupe la plus grande place dans les mers de l'Inde et de la Chine, et qui est ainsi appelée à profiter le plus largement de cette conquête de la civilisation Européenne, voulût en contester les bienfaits, et pût méconnaître l'esprit dont nous avons été animés dans la poursuite de nos efforts.\n\nParis, le 24 Mai, 1875.\n\n(No. 428.)

IN the paper respecting the Annam Treaties which the Duc Decazes gave me yesterday, and of which a copy is inclosed in my immediately preceding despatch No. 427 of to-day, the Duke refers to his confidential communications with me respecting his answer to the Memorandum presented to him by Lord Lytton, on the 15th November last.\n\nYour Lordship may remember that these communications began by the Duc Decazes putting into my hand, confidentially, in the month of January last, a draft of the answer he proposed to send; that I informed him that an answer in the terms of that draft would be considered as most unsatisfactory by Her Majesty's Government; and that on the 16th February I had a long conversation with him on the question of the Annam Treaties, and put into his hand a Memorandum containing observations on the draft answer.\n\nThe answer which he gave me yesterday is certainly, both in tone and in substance, less unsatisfactory than the original draft; but I cannot say that it very much modifies the opinions I expressed in my despatches No. 58, of the 18th January, and No. 149, of the 16th February last.\n\n[81]",

Nous venons, en conséquence, prier l'Assemblée de nous autoriser à en échanger les ratifications avec la Cour d'Annam. \n\nProjet de Loi. \n\nArticle Unique.-Le Président de la République Française est autorisé à ratifier et, s'il y a lieu, à faire exécuter le Traité de Commerce conclu à Saigon, le 31 Août, 1874, entre la France et le Royaume d'Annam. \n\nUne copie authentique de ce Traité sera annexée à la présente Loi. \n\nTraité de Commerce. \n\nSon Excellence le Président de la République Française et Sa Majesté le Roi d'Annam, animés du désir de resserrer les liens qui unissent les deux nations et d'augmenter leur prospérité par la facilité donnée au commerce, ont nommé, dans ce but, pour leurs Plénipotentiaires, savoir :---- \n\nSon Excellence le Président de la République Française, le Contre-Amiral Krantz, Commandant-en-chef la Division Navale des mers de Chine et du Japon, Gouverneur par intérim et Commandant-en-chef en Cochinchine, Commandeur de l'Ordre National de la Légion d'Honneur, &c. ; \n\n73 \n\nSa Majesté le Roi de l'Annam, les hauts fonctionnaires, Nguyen, van Tu'o'ng, Ministre de la Justice, décoré du titre de Ki-vi-ba, Premier Ambassadeur; et Nguyễn Tàng Doàn, thi lang du Ministre de l'Intérieur, deuxième Ambassadeur; \n\nLesquels, après communication de leurs pouvoirs respectifs trouvés en bonne et due forme, sont convenus des Articles suivants :- \n\nARTICLE I. \n\nConformément aux stipulations de l'Article XI du Traité du 15 Mars, le Roi de l'Annam ouvre au commerce étranger, sans distinction de pavillon ou de nationalité, ses ports de Thi-Nai, dans la province de Binh-Dinh de Ninh-Haï, dans la province de Haï-Duong, la ville de Hanoi et le fleuve de Nhi-Ha, depuis la mer jusqu'à la frontière Chinoise. \n\nARTICLE II. \n\nDans les ports ouverts, le commerce sera libre, après l'acquittement d'une taxe de 5 pour cent de la valeur des marchandises à leur entrée ou à leur sortie. Ce droit sera de 10 pour cent sur le sel. \n\nCependant, les armes et les munitions de guerre ne pourront être ni importées ni exportées par le commerce. \n\nLe commerce de l'opium reste assujetti à sa règlementation spéciale établie par le Gouvernement Annamite. \n\nL'importation des grains sera toujours permise moyennant un droit de 5 pour cent. \n\nL'exportation des grains ne pourra avoir lieu qu'en vertu d'une autorisation temporaire du Gouvernement de l'Annam, autorisation dont il sera donné connaisance au résident Français à Hué. Les grains seront, dans ce cas, frappés d'un droit de sortie de 10 pour cent. \n\nL'importation de la soie et du go-liem sera toujours permise, \n\nL'exportation de la soie et du bois dit \"go-liem\" ne sera permise chaque année qu'après que les villages qui payent leurs impôts avec ces deux denrées auront totalement acquitté cet impôt en nature, et que le Gouvernement Annamite en aura acheté les quantités indispensables à son propre usage. \n\nLe tarif d'entrée ou de sortie sur ces matières sera, comme pour toutes les autres marchandises, de 5 pour cent. \n\nLorsque le Gouvernement Annamite aura l'intention de profiter de ce droit de suspendre l'exportation de la soie et du bois \"go-liem,\" il en préviendra, au moins un mois à l'avance, le résident Français à Hué; il lui fera également connaître un mois à l'avance l'époque à laquelle l'exportation de ces denrées redeviendra libre. \n\nToutes les interdictions, à l'exception de celle qui concerne les armes et les munitions qui ne peuvent être transportées sans une autorisation spéciale du Gouvernement Annamite, ne s'appliquent pas aux marchandises en transit pour le Yunnan ou venant du Yunnan; mais le Gouvernement Annamite pourra prendre des mesures de précaution pour empêcher que les objets prohibés soient débarqués sur son territoire. \n\nLes marchandises transitant par le Yunnan n'acquitteront le droit de Douane qu'à leur entrée sur le territoire Annamite, qu'elles y arrivent par mer ou par la frontière de Chine (province du Yunnan). \n\nAucun autre droit accessoire ou supplémentaire ne pourra être établi sur les marchandises régulièrement introduites à leur passage d'une province ou d'une ville à une autre. \n\nIl est entendu que les marchandises importées ou exportées par des bâtiments Chinois ou appartenant à l'Annam seront soumises aux mêmes interdictions, et que celles importées ou exportées sous pavillon Chinois seront soumises aux mêmes droits que les marchandises importées ou exportées sous pavillon Européen ou Américain (ce que l'on entend dans ces deux Traités, par pavillon étranger), mais ces droits seront perçus séparément par les Mandarins Annamites du service de la Douane et versés dans une caisse spéciale, à l'entière disposition du Gouvernement Annamite. \n\nARTICLE III. \n\nLes droits de phare et d'ancrage sont fixés à trois dixièmes de taël par tonneau de jauge pour les navires entrant et sortant avec un chargement, et à quinze centièmes de taël par tonneau pour les navires entrant sur lest et sortant chargés, ou entrant chargés et sortant sur lest. \n\nU \n\n[81] \n\n358",

It adds that it was necessary to make the stipulations respecting it absolute as regards Annam, but that as regards foreign nations, it is plain that it was provided as an advantage of which they might avail themselves if they pleased, but which the French Government had never any idea of imposing upon them, and respecting which it intended to enter into explanations with foreign Governments.\n\nObservations of the same kind are made on the stipulations which confer on French agents the right to decide in concert with a native Magistrate disputes between foreigners and the Annamite Custom-houses.\n\nThe note affirms distinctly that other nations have the right to conclude Commercial Treaties with Annam, and to establish, in consequence, Consuls of their own; and it declares that the French Government understands that Foreign Consuls, so soon as they shall be established, will thenceforward have the duty and the care of providing themselves for the protection of their countrymen in Customs' matters as well as in questions of jurisdiction.\n\nThe good offices of France are offered to assist Great Britain in negotiating a Commercial Treaty with Annam.\n\nI have, &c. (Signed) LYONS.\n\nM. l'Ambassadeur,\n\nInclosure in No. 86.\n\nM. Buffet to Lord Lyons.\n\nVersailles, le 8 Juillet, 1875. M. LE DUC DECAZES, en quittant Paris, m'a laissé le soin de répondre à la lettre que votre Excellence lui a adressée, en date du 26 Juin, au sujet de certaines stipulations des Traités conclus entre la France et le Royaume d'Annam. Mon collègue vous a déjà fait part verbalement des remarques que cette communication lui a suggérées, et je n'ai moi-même qu'à reproduire ici les explications dans lesquelles il est entré avec vous.\n\nLes observations du Gouvernement Anglais portent principalement sur trois points: les droits de juridiction attribués aux agents Français, en tant qu'ils s'étendraient aux sujets des nations Chrétiennes, le privilège en vertu duquel ces mêmes fonctionnaires seraient provisoirement appelés à prononcer sur les difficultés pouvant survenir entre des étrangers et l'administration des Douanes: enfin, les faveurs stipulées au profit des bâtiments chargés de marchandises provenant ou à destination de Saigon.\n\nLes explications développées, en dernier lieu, par votre Excellence, confirmant le Gouvernement Français dans l'opinion qu'il s'est produite, ainsi que M. le Duc Decazes l'a déclaré, un malentendu sur la portée de quelques-unes des clauses des arrangements intervenus entre la France et l'Annam. Il en est ainsi, notamment pour ce qui concerne les attributions dont les Résidents Français se trouvent éventuellement investis par le Traité Politique à l'égard des étrangers dans les nouveaux ports ouverts à la navigation. En effet, cette disposition a eu pour objet de satisfaire aux nécessités d'une situation temporaire en assurant à tous les étrangers, sans distinction de nationalité, auxquels le territoire de l'Annam est désormais accessible, la protection que l'Administration Annamite serait hors d'état de leur procurer, dans les premiers temps qui suivront la mise à exécution des Traités.\n\nVis-à-vis du Gouvernement Annamite, la clause devrait être absolue, car il s'agissait d'enlever ces étrangers à la juridiction locale; vis-à-vis des Gouvernements étrangers, au contraire, il était de toute évidence qu'elle constituait pour eux un avantage dont il leur serait loisible de profiter, mais qu'il n'entrait pas dans notre pensée de leur imposer; nous nous réservions d'ailleurs d'en faire ultérieurement l'objet d'un échange d'explications avec eux.\n\nC'est ainsi que le Cabinet Français entendait ménager aux négociants étrangers, dans les cas où il leur conviendrait de faire appel à l'intervention de ses Agents aussi bien qu'à l'égard de ses propres nationaux, un recours contre l'inexpérience et l'animosité possibles de certains fonctionnaires Annamites, tant qu'aucune autre Puissance n'aurait encore d'Agent Consulaire dans le royaume d'Annam.\n\n83\n\nOn ne doit pas oublier que si le Gouvernement Annamite s'est engagé à conformer sa politique extérieure à celle de la France et à ne rien changer à ses relations diplomatiques actuelles, cet engagement n'exclut ni la conclusion de Traités de Commerce, ni l'établissement de Consuls étrangers, qui en serait la conséquence naturelle. Rien ne s'oppose, en effet, à ce que le Gouvernement de Sa Majesté Britannique ouvre à ce sujet des négociations avec le Royaume d'Annam, s'il juge à propos de le faire, et le Gouvernement Français est même tout disposé à l'aider dans ce but de ses bons offices auprès de la Cour de Hué.\n\nCette stipulation, empreinte d'un esprit évident de libéralisme, ne saurait donc causer aucun ombrage, et nous pouvons ajouter qu'il en est de même de celle qui attribue à l'Agent Français le droit de statuer, de concert avec un Magistrat Annamite, sur les contestations entre les négociants étrangers et la Douane. Il suffira d'une simple observation pour écarter toute incertitude à cet égard. Le Cabinet Français entend bien que les Consuls étrangers, dès qu'ils seront installés, auront la charge et le soin de pourvoir désormais par eux-mêmes à la protection de leurs nationaux dans les matières de Douane aussi bien que dans les questions de juridiction.\n\nEn ce qui concerne la clause relative au port de Saigon, nous devons constater que le Gouvernement de la Reine s'est mépris sur les raisons qui l'ont dictée comme sur la portée qu'il convient d'y donner. Elle est ainsi conçue: \"Les marchandises expédiées de Saigon pour un des ports ouverts de l'Annam ou à destination du Yunnan, en transit par les Tsong-koï, et celles qui sont expédiées de l'un de ces ports ou du Yunnan pour Saigon ne seront soumises qu'à la moitié des droits frappant les marchandises de toute autre provenance ou ayant une autre destination.\"\n\nCe n'est pas à titre gratuit que le Gouvernement Français a réclamé et obtenu ce régime spécial pour sa Colonie de Saigon. Il a dû préalablement renoncer au reliquat des sommes encore dues pour l'ancienne indemnité de guerre et qui ne s'élèvent pas à moins de 5,000,000. Il a dû prendre l'engagement de fournir au Gouvernement Annamite l'appui matériel qui lui est nécessaire pour maintenir chez lui l'ordre et la tranquillité et détruire la piraterie qui désole ses côtes, lui promettre cinq bâtiments de guerre à vapeur, cents canons approvisionnés de deux cents coups et mille fusils à tir rapide: c'est à ce prix que la France acquérait un droit difficile à contester à des compensations temporaires et qui n'atténuent qu'incomplètement l'importance de ses sacrifices. Les tarifs actuels sont établis pour une durée de dix ans; ce laps de temps s'écoulera certainement avant que le Gouvernement Français ne soit rentré dans ses déboursés et le privilège qu'il revendique pour le port de Saigon, pendant ces dix années, n'est qu'un faible dédommagement de la somme considérable qu'il abandonne aux Annamites, du matériel de guerre qu'il met à leur disposition et des dépenses qu'il prend à sa charge.\n\nA l'expiration des tarifs actuels, il y aura lieu d'examiner si l'état de choses qu'ils consacrent doit être maintenu ou abrogé. Mais il est d'autant moins possible, aujourd'hui, de renoncer au bénéfice de ces dispositions, qu'elles ne sont nullement exclusives. Elles seront, en effet, applicables aux bâtiments étrangers comme aux bâtiments nationaux; Saigon est un port franc et il n'est que trop connu que les établissements de commerce Français créés dans ce port ne sont, ni les plus nombreux, ni ceux qui font le trafic le plus étendu.\n\nNous nous plaisons à espérer que ces explications suffiront pour rendre aux Traités conclus avec le Royaume d'Annam leur véritable signification. Le Gouvernement Britannique, mieux éclairé, rendra donc pleine justice à des arrangements qui ouvrent au commerce de toutes les Puissances de nouveaux et précieux débouchés, jusqu'à présent fermés à toutes les tentatives, et que la France n'a pu disputer à la barbarie qu'au prix de longs et cruels sacrifices. Le Gouvernement Français aurait peine à s'expliquer que celle de ces Puissances dont le pavillon occupe la plus grande place dans les mers de l'Inde et de la Chine, et qui est ainsi appelée à profiter le plus largement de cette conquête de la civilisation Européenne, voulût en contester les bienfaits et pût méconnaître l'esprit dont nous avons été animés dans la poursuite de nos efforts.\n\nAgréez, &c.\n\n(Signé) BUFFET, Chargé par intérim du Ministère des Affaires Etrangères.\n\nSC3",

        "content_text": "LILLE, 30 NOVEMBRE 1876.\n\nL'ÉCONOMISTE FRANÇAIS\n\nLes forges ne manquent pas d'activité, mais elles la paient chèrement par les concessions de prix. Cette activité n'est pas enviable. Les usines de ce groupe ont à peu près toutes les fournitures de fers destinées à la construction du palais de l'Exposition; la Société Hamoir et Cie la plus forte partie. Les prix, dit-on, sont de 170 à 180 francs, franco Paris; tous ces fers sont demandés de longueur fixe. C'est le maximum baisse. On cote le plus généralement les fers marchands et ceux à plancher 170 à 175 francs en forge, pour les demandes courantes; et 165 francs pour marchés; les petits fers à cercles, 240 à 245 francs; la grosse tôle, 230 à 240 francs, à l'usine.\n\nDes petits fers marchands classés dans les 3 et 4 classes nous ont été demandés en abondance. Cette spécialité, qui ordinairement est demandée aux forges de l'Est, nous a donné lieu d'espérer une prochaine reprise.\" Nous espérons que les producteurs maintiendront leurs prix, ce qui leur permettra d'élever leurs prétentions en cas de reprise bien marquée. D'ailleurs, une nouvelle baisse est impossible, malgré les exigences de la clientèle marchande.\n\nIl y a un peu plus de demandes pour les lins de Russie, sans grand changement dans les cours; en lins de pays, un courant ordinaire. Des affaires assez importantes en fils. Moyennant de très légères concessions sur les prix.\n\nPas de changement pour la toile ordinaire; les transactions continues ont eu lieu depuis quelques semaines en toiles à teindre.\n\nMoyen marché aux blés, on avait apporté 1,200 hectolitres environ. Vente assez active avec hausse 50 à 75 centimes. Farines en consommation, 41 fr. 50 pour le disponible; la livrable plusieurs mois 42 francs.\n\nLYON, 30 NOVEMBRE 1876.\n\nSOIES ET SOIERIES. Nous commençons cette correspondance en donnant les chiffres de la condition pour le mois qui finit aujourd'hui : 4,100 balles du poids de 287,000 kilogrammes, contre 5,966 balles du poids de 383,850 kilogrammes pendant le mois correspondant de 1875. Si on déduisait du nombre des balles qui ont passé à la condition celles qui forment l'objet de contrats antérieurs, on arriverait à un total tellement minime que l'on comprendrait facilement combien il est actuellement impossible de fixer les cours et de mesurer exactement les degrés de la baisse. Celle-ci a pourtant fait de nouveaux progrès, et l'on peut évaluer à 5 francs la nouvelle dépréciation survenue dans la dernière huitaine.\n\nCette dépréciation a surtout marqué les derniers jours de la semaine qui a précédé celle où nous sommes. À ce moment et à ces prix, il s'est fait quelques achats, de peu d'importance, il est vrai, mais qui ont néanmoins attiré l'attention des fabricants et des mouliners. Ces affaires, quoique isolées et par cela même ne constituant pas des cours réguliers, semblent servir de base aux transactions en projets et provoquer un peu plus de demandes.\n\nNous cotons, comme cours pratiqués: 105 francs pour les organsins de Piémont, premier ordre, précédemment vendus 130 francs; 100 francs pour trames d'Italie, bonne livraison, précédemment vendues 125 francs; grèges Toscane, premier ordre, 9/11, 100 francs, précédemment vendues 125 francs; grèges de Chine Tsatlee 5, 63 à 65 francs, précédemment vendes 74-76 francs; grèges de Japon Mybashi, 2 1/2 à 3, 70 francs, valant précédemment 91 à 92 francs.\n\nÀ ces prix, disons-nous, il y a preneurs pour d'assez grosses parties; mais la marchandise n'est pas offerte et nos détenteurs importants de tous genres semblent vouloir attendre quelque temps encore avant de souscrire à ces prix, qui peuvent bien se pratiquer isolément, mais ne sont pas, à l'heure qu'il est, généralement acceptés.\n\nCes faits indiquent que la confiance dans l'avenir des prix de la soie n'est que partiellement ébranlée et que les gens les mieux placés croient toujours à un retour en hausse avant la fin de cette campagne.\n\nMais la seule rareté relative de la soie ne nous semble pas pouvoir déterminer ce retour; il faudrait pour cela une éclaircie dans la situation politique et surtout un réveil dans les affaires en étoffes. De ce côté, il n'y a aucune amélioration à noter. Les petites commissions qui se donnent çà et là sont des plus réduites et la vente sur banque est presque nulle. L'acheteur ne se laisse tenter que lorsque le fabricant consent à subir des prix bien inférieurs à ceux de la matière première.\n\nEn attendant, le stock de la marchandise fabriquée, comme celui de la soie, s'accumule sur notre place.\n\nLa fabrique réduit sa production ainsi qu'en font foi les relevés des ateliers de teinture, qui ne font que les deux tiers ou la moitié de leur travail ordinaire.\n\nLes arrivages de soies asiatiques sont plus importants qu'ils ne l'ont jamais été. Les magasins généraux ont en dépôt entre Lyon et Marseille environ 18,000 balles des soies de cette provenance. Les magasins particuliers sont loin d'être dégarnis. Les hauts prix du mois de septembre ont fait converger vers Lyon presque tout le stock disponible du monde entier. Mais, si important que ce stock puisse paraître aujourd'hui, il ne faut pas oublier qu'il est destiné à alimenter la fabrication pendant sept ou huit mois, et que les suppléments qui pourraient arriver d'ici à la fin de la campagne ne sauraient être bien importants.\n\nSAMEDI 2 DÉCEMBRE 1876.\n\nNous avons répété à satiété que les filatures en Europe tirent à leur fin et ne produiront plus grand'chose.\n\nDans l'extrême Orient, il y a toujours un stock qui ne laisse pas d'être considérable, mais qui ne contient plus des réserves pouvant alimenter utilement notre marché. La question est donc de savoir si les détenteurs en Europe sont décidés à attendre tranquillement un réveil d'affaires qui, selon toute probabilité, ne peut avoir lieu qu'en janvier et février; et même s'ils veulent escompter les chances de la récolte de 1877 en vue du retour de la hausse dont nous parlons plus haut, ou bien si, par prudence ou nécessité, ils se décideront avant cette époque à souscrire aux sacrifices que la fabrique et le moulinage semblent vouloir demander pour retourner franchement aux achats.\n\nSur le marché de Milan, le calme est complet, la marchandise courante très-offerte et la belle marchandise bien tenue.\n\nÀ Marseille, nullité d'affaires avec peu de stock. Les cocons de bonne qualité se paient encore de 25 à 26 francs, prix bien supérieurs aux cours actuels des grèges.\n\nÀ Londres, peu d'affaires, quelques petites transactions en soies de Chine avec 2-6 à 3 sh. de baisse sur les prix les plus hauts pratiqués les Japon semblent presque invendables à Londres il est vrai que ce marché a reçu, cette campagne, le rebut de la production japonaise. Les soies de bonne qualité et de filature européenne ont été dirigées directement sur le continent.\n\nSur les marchés orientaux, le marasme est complet; il ne s'y fait presque rien. L'Éléphant bleu était coté, le 29 novembre, 550 taels, à Shanghai; mais il est probable, nous télégraphie-t-on, que l'on pourrait traiter à 525-530 taels, Le change était remonté à 7.05.\n\nÀ Yokohama, la bonne marchandise devient de plus en plus rare. On a payé, ces jours-ci, 1,000 piastres pour les bonnes filatures à l'européenne. On cote: 775 piastres les Mybashi no 2. Change 5.25. Nous manquons de détails sur l'exportation totale des graines. Mais, jusqu'au 18 de ce mois, 400,000 cartons seulement avaient été expédiés, dont plus de la moitié par la dernière malle.\n\nLE HAVRE, 30 NOVEMBRE 1876.\n\nNous avons eu beaucoup d'animation pendant trois journées sur les cotons et de bonnes affaires en cafés, cuirs et bois, le tout à des prix très-fermes. Un peu de faiblesse sur les saindoux.\n\nCOTONS, --Notre marché cotonnier a ouvert dans de meilleures dispositions vendredi, et les affaires ont été plus suivies. Elles sont encore plus animées par la suite, sur le reçu de dépêches annonçant une grande raideur sur les prix aux États-Unis. Lundi, le marché est resté très-actif avec hausse de 2 francs sur les cours de vendredi, tant pour les Louisiane que pour les Surate. La demande s'est un peu calmée mercredi. On clôture dans ces dispositions, les grosses recettes continuant en Amérique et les dépêches de Liverpool étant plus froides. Le livrable a également débuté avec plus d'animation et de fermeté, et il donne lieu à des affaires excessivement importantes à des prix en hausse dans les journées de samedi, lundi et mardi. Un grand nombre des opérations traitées pendant ces trois jours, n'ont pas été cotées à terme. On est vendeur de Louisiane sur mois éloignés à fr. 76 les 50 kilos.\n\nJOURNÉES.\n\n  \n    \n      \n      A LIVERPOOL.\n      \n      \n      AU HAVRE\n      \n    \n  \n  \n    \n      \n      3.924\n      23.000\n      48.000\n      \n      \n    \n    \n      \n      9.835\n      20.000\n      15.000\n      \n      \n    \n    \n      \n      7.880\n      45.000\n      12.000\n      \n      \n    \n    \n      \n      \n      \n      \n      €2.000\n      40.000\n    \n    \n      Fr.\n      \n      \n      \n      B.\n      \n    \n    \n      Fr.\n      \n      \n      \n      B.\n      \n    \n    \n      B.\n      \n      \n      \n      \n      \n    \n    \n      1.\n      \n      \n      \n      \n      \n    \n    \n      Vendredi (soir).\n      1.900\n      77.50\n      \n      12.000\n      40.000\n    \n    \n      Samedi\n      \n      \n      \n      \n      \n    \n    \n      Lundi\n      5.225\n      77.50/78\n      \n      13.000\n      40.000\n    \n    \n      \n      12.756\n      78,50\n      \n      9.253\n      79\n    \n    \n      \n      3.242\n      78.50\n      \n      1.447\n      79.50\n    \n    \n      \n      \n      \n      30\n      \n      \n    \n    \n      Vendredi (matin)\n      \n      \n      \n      \n      \n    \n    \n      \n      H\n      \n      \n      \n      \n    \n    \n      Morks 23 nov.\n      151.000\n      \n      \n      \n      \n    \n    \n      Totaux, huitaine\n      3.223\n      \n      \n      \n      \n    \n    \n      Contre en 1876\n      477,000 (20.430\n      \n      \n      \n      \n    \n    \n      \n      97.000\n      \n      \n      \n      \n    \n    \n      \n      75.000\n      \n      \n      \n      \n    \n    \n      Mardi.\n      \n      \n      \n      \n      \n    \n    \n      Mercredi\n      \n      \n      \n      \n      \n    \n    \n      Jeudi\n      \n      \n      \n      \n      \n    \n  \n\nCAFÉS.

Depuis nos derniers avis, des affaires importantes ont eu lieu sur nos vins de 1876. Ces achats ont principalement porté sur les petits vins et vins ordinaires, qui, par leur corps et leur couleur ont attiré l'attention. On a payé jusqu'à fr. 650 pour quelques crus choisis de Côtes et de Palus.\"\n\nQuelques affaires saillantes ont eu lieu également dans les vins supérieurs: on a acheté les vins de Château-Dauzac 1876 (5 cru) a fr. 1,200, et le vin de Pomys-Saint-Estèphe, à fr. 1,000.\n\nNous avons aussi à signaler quelques affaires de vins fins de 1875 la moitié de Beaucaillon à fr. 2,500; et les Prieuré à fr. 1,500, ainsi que les Prieuré 1874 à fr. 1,600.\n\nSPIRITUEUX.

CAFÉS.

Toujours même stagnation d'affaires chez nous, faute de marchandises en premières mains.\n\nLa dernière malle de la Réunion signalée à Aden le 23 courant a annoncé un seul chargement de sucre acheté pour courant Bordeaux, celui de l'Hindostan, navire qui ne partira probablement que dans la première quinzaine de décembre.\n\nCette affaire présentée à Paris a trouvé immédiatement preneur à fr. 78 les 100 kilos pour 88 10/13.\n\nSUCRES RAFFINÉS. - Toujours fermement tenus, quoique avec une vente un peu languissante, de 176 à 178 francs les 100 kilos acquittés.\n\nCÉRÉALES. — La hausse générale qui se produit partout se fait aussi sentir sur notre place. Des plus bas prix auxquels on a vendu avec les prix actuels, on constate 1 franc par hectolitre de hausse sur les blés. Aujourd'hui, suivant les provenances, les cours s'établissent de 22.25 à 22.75 les 80 kilos.

Hier, le cours de l'essence a été porté à fr. 65 en hausse de 3 fr. sur le dernier marché. Les avis de hausse en Angleterre et les demandes pressantes de Belgique ont motivé cette hausse un peu rapide; les vendeurs à découvert ont dû également y contribuer, ayant besoin de remplir leurs engagements.\n\nL'essence est bien tenue aussi à Londres et a valu hier, le disponible 28, et les 4 premiers mois de 1877 29 à 29/3. L'Amérique est également en hausse et, sous peu, le cours de 30, sera probablement atteint, sinon dépassé.\n\nLe brai clair ordinaire vaut. 12.50 les 100 kilos; dito clair épuré, fr. 13; dito demi-clair fr. 12; noir, fr. 11; la 1/2 colophane fr.13.50; la colophane ordinaire, de 14 à 15 et 16 fr.; la colophane supérieure, de 17 à 28 fr., suivant nuance et qualité; la résine jaune supérieure, fr. 11.50 à 12; le galipot mi-laineux, fr. 18.50; le galipot en larmes, fr. 25 à 26; le goudron in la chalosse, fr. 48; fe goudron de gaz dito, fr. 52 à 53; les pâtes de térébenthine, les 4 barriques, fr. 320.\n\nMARSEILLE, 30 NOVEMBRE 1876.\n\nLes affaires en céréales, en huiles, en graines et leurs dérivées ont été assez suivies; prix fermes pour les cafés, sucres et laines.\n\nCÉRÉALES.

        "content_text": "944 16 Mai [CHAMBRE]\n\nLe traité de 1874 avait pour principal objet de donner au gouvernement d'Annam les moyens de maintenir, avec notre concours, l'ordre et la tranquillité dans ses Etats, notamment contre les brigands si connus sous le nom de Pavillons Noirs. Eh bien! messieurs, il est aujourd'hui établi, par les témoignages les plus certains, par l'aveu même des ministres du roi Ta-Duc, que c'est lui-même qui entretient à sa solde les Pavillons-Noirs, que nous étions chargés de l'aider à réprimer.\n\nDEBATS PARLEMENTAIRES\n\nressources commerciales, les voies de communication, l'esprit des populations, les complications possibles, où toutes les difficultés ont été présentées avec force, où toutes les objections ont été soulevées, ces discussions, il faut le reconnaître, donnent un singulier relief, une valeur bien remarquable, à des volontés si persistantes et si éclairées. (Très bien! très bien!)\n\nMais, messieurs, il faut reconnaître que si les volontés n'ont pas varié, il n'en a pas été de même de la politique. Là, il a régné une trop grande et une trop longue incertitude.\n\nLe traité de 1874 avait un autre objet, c'était d'établir la parfaite indépendance de l'Annam à l'égard de toute autre puissance. Il est avéré aujourd'hui, il est évident, il est patent que c'est le gouvernement d'Annam lui-même, que c'est le roi Ta-Duc qui a réveillé les prétentions assoupies de la Chine; qui entretient avec elle des manoeuvres, des intelligences dont le but est de faire naître entre elle et nous des démêlés qui n'ont absolument aucune raison d'être.\n\nDe là, messieurs, la situation dans laquelle nous nous trouvons, situation que M. Delafosse, aussi bien que M. Georges Perin, ont, avec grande raison, déclarée fausse, pénible, intolérable.\n\nQue sommes-nous au Tonkin? Sommes-nous les amis ou les adversaires du roi d'Annam? Sommes-nous des protecteurs ou bien des barbares avec lesquels on a traité par force et dont il faut se débarrasser à tout prix? Le traité de 1874 subsiste-t-il encore ou bien n'en reste-t-il que des lambeaux sans valeur? Voilà ce que l'on se demande dans tout l'Orient, ce qu'on se demande en Chine, ce qu'on se demande dans le royaume d'Annam. Voilà la question qu'on se pose en Europe où il règne une fâcheuse incertitude sur nos desseins, et où cette incertitude donne lieu à des commentaires, à des interprétations et à des prévisions qui ne sont pas, on est bien forcé d'en convenir, profitables à notre crédit.(Très bien très bien! et vifs applaudissements.)\n\nAussi, est-il arrivé ce qui devait arriver: c'est qu'au jour, nous avons été obligés, -ça a été le sentiment de la Chambre, lors qu'elle a voté le projet du mois de juillet 1881, ça a été aussi le sentiment du Gouvernement, de prendre enfin des mesures pour que notre intervention au Tonkin devint quelque peu efficace.\n\nVous savez, messieurs, ce qui est advenu. Le commandant Rivière est allé au Tonkin, à la tête d'une petite force, animé d'intentions pacifiques comme les ordres qu'il avait reçus. jusqu'au moment où, injurié, menacé, outragé dans des placards affichés jusque sur sa demeure, il a été obligé de se saisir par la force de la forteresse d'Hanoi, puis il l'a démantelée et, usant d'un procédé qui n'a jamais réussi avec ces populations, il l'a rendue. De là une nouvelle audace, un surcroît de provocations, d'injures et d'attaques, jusqu'au jour où, menacé de se voir couper les communications qu'il avait avec la mer, il a dû, il y a cinq ou six semaines, s'emparer de la forteresse de Nan-Dinh et repousser une attaque dirigée contre la forteresse de Hanoi. A l'heure qu'il est, nos garnisons maîtresses des points où elles étaient menacées comme de ceux dont elles ont cru devoir se saisir, sont en parfaite sûreté.\n\nMessieurs, le gouvernement d'Annam, malgré le traité de 1874, malgré des protestations dont il s'est toujours montré prodigue, malgré sa faiblesse militaire, est parvenu — et c'est pour lui un honneur auquel il ne s'attendait pas — à nous tenir en échec.\n\nL'amour propre blessé, qui est un ressort d'une singulière puissance chez ces peuples, ne l'oublions pas, la haine du barbare et le barbare c'est nous, ce sont tous les Européens, - le regret de voir échapper à sa puissance une population qu'on est accoutumé à pressurer, ce sont là, messieurs, des sentiments auxquels nous devions nous attendre; mais ces sentiments, quelque naturels qu'ils soient chez les Annamites, fort capables de manoeuvres hostiles, moins capables d'une action guerrière, ne suffisent pas à expliquer notre situation actuelle.\n\nCette situation, messieurs, s'explique par une autre cause: c'est que par suite des égards que le gouvernement français a cru devoir avoir pour un Etat faible, par suite de l'espérance qu'il a nourrie de le ramener, à force de patience, à l'exécution de ses engagements, par l'illusion qu'il a eue de croire qu'une politique de ménagements était de quelque action sur ces peuples, notre politique, il faut l'avouer, a manqué de décision et d'énergie. (Très bien! très bien!)\n\nJe dis, messieurs, notre politique, je ne dis pas la volonté du Parlement; car je vous prie de repasser dans vos souvenirs les différentes discussions qui ont eu lieu, soit ici et au Sénat, soit à l'Assemblée nationale à propos du Tonkin, et vous verrez que les Chambres n'ont jamais varié qu'elles ont montré dans cette question une volonté suivie, permanente. Et ces discussions, si brillantes, et dans lesquelles tout le monde reconnaîtra que M. Georges Perin a pris une part importante, ces discussions dans lesquelles tous les points de vue ont été examinés, le climat, les ressources commerciales, les voies de communication, l'esprit des populations, les complications possibles, où toutes les difficultés ont été présentées avec force, où toutes les objections ont été soulevées, ces discussions, il faut le reconnaître, donnent un singulier relief, une valeur bien remarquable, à des volontés si persistantes et si éclairées.\n\nCette population docile et laborieuse, mais incapable de gouvernement, supporte, tout le monde le sait, avec peine le joug annamite: elle n'a pas perdu le souvenir d'une indépendance qui n'a succombé qu'au commencement de ce siècle, ni d'une dynastie dont M. Delafosse nous invitons, tout à l'heure, à rechercher et dont il ne serait peut-être pas impossible en effet de trouver encore quelque représentant. Des insurrections fréquentes, continuelles, dont la dernière ne remonte pas plus loin que 1872, témoignent de l'antipathie profonde de ces populations pour les Annamites. Tout cela suffirait à expliquer comment nous y avons été, presque dès la première heure, accueillis comme des libérateurs, quand même on ne saurait pas que cette population est accablée par les exactions des mandarins, aussi bien que par les coups de main des brigands.\n\nAnnée 1883\n\npartie de la population, des 400,000 chrétiens, 800,000, selon d'autres évaluations...\n\nM. Paul Bert. 460,000, chiffre officiel de l'Univers.\n\nM. le ministre. ...qui n'ont peut-être pas été pour nous des auxiliaires aussi dévoués et aussi actifs qu'on l'a dit, mais, qu'en tous cas, la situation particulière qui leur est faite, l'interdit cruel dont ils sont frappés par les non-convertis, prédisposent à nous considérer comme des protecteurs. Voilà, messieurs, l'appui solide, presque indestructible que, si nous le voulions bien, nous trouverions au Tonkin.\n\nMais, messieurs, cet appui contribue à rendre notre situation plus fausse, car ces 10 millions d'hommes qui sollicitent notre action, notre protection, se demandent sans le comprendre, comment nous supportons les manoeuvres occultes, les attaques déguisées et quelquefois ouvertes des Annamites. Il est clair que cette situation ne saurait durer. Il faut absolument y mettre un terme.\n\nDÉBATS PARLEMENTAIRES\n\n262\n\n46 Mai\n\nCHAMBRE 945\n\nAnnée 1889\n\nTonkin, notre autorité n'aurait peut-être jamais été contestée dans la Cochinchine, mais nous pouvons élever contre la conduite du gouvernement d'Annam, malgré les violations, on peut le dire, presque innombrables du traité de 1874, malgré les circonstances qui ont décidé notre envoyé auprès de Ta-Duc à se retirer, nous avons voulu, nous croyons tenter une dernière démarche auprès de lui, et nous avons choisi pour cela un homme qui nous était désigné par sa connaissance approfondie du Tonkin, par le long séjour qu'il y a fait, par les qualités personnelles que nul ne lui conteste; nous n'avons vu, nous n'avons voulu voir que son intelligence, ses lumières, sa fermeté, son sang-froid.\n\nM. Georges Perin. Votre présence à Haï-Phong serait une marque de votre force.\n\nM. le ministre, Insuffisante!\n\nM. Georges Perin. Très suffisante.\n\nM. le ministre. Je ne doute en aucune façon que nous ne gardassions la Cochinchine; Par la retraite? Non, messieurs, personne, pas même M. Georges Perin, n'arrive à cette extrémité. Tout le monde sent que, en l'on peut varier sur les autres solutions, il y en a une qu'il faut absolument exclure; il faut l'écarter parce que ni l'intérêt, ni l'honneur, ni même la plus simple prudence ne nous permettent de nous y arrêter. (Très bien! très bien!)\n\nJe voudrais maintenant, en aussi peu de mots que possible, répondre à la question que m'a posée l'honorable M. Georges Perin et définir la portée et la signification du projet soumis à la Chambre.\n\nL'intérêt frappe tous les yeux et il est évident que si nous nous retirions du Tonkin, il y a, n'en doutez pas, des héritiers tout prêts... (Très bien! C'est cela! Applaudissements à gauche et au centre) qui épient le moment où, par je ne sais quel faux calcul, vous abandonneriez la situation que vous avez prise, (Très bien! très bien!)\n\nJe n'hésite pas, messieurs, à répéter, malgré les doutes exprimés par M. Georges Perin, que s'il s'agit bien en effet d'une expédition, il faut bien le reconnaître, il ne saurait être question d'une conquête, non! et par une raison bien simple que M. Georges Perin appréciera : — c'est qu'il n'y a rien à conquérir chez un peuple où tout le monde nous est ami, où nous n'avons d'adversaires que des fonctionnaires étrangers -car les mandarins annamites sont au Tonkin des fonctionnaires étrangers et leurs singuliers auxiliaires, les Pavillons noirs.\n\nNous n'avons rien à conquérir dans un pays où nous n'avons pas l'intention de nous annexer.\n\nNous n'entreprenons même pas, l'entreprise serait considérable, de faire la police sur toute l'étendue de Tonkin, sur les 86.000 kilomètres carrés dont vous parlait M. Georges Perin...\n\nEt, messieurs, quand même l'intérêt, l'honneur, ne vous commanderaient pas de rester au Tonkin, la plus simple prudence vous en ferait un devoir.\n\nIl n'y a aucun lien entre la Cochinchine et le Tonkin? M. Georges Perin ne le croit pas et l'autorité de M. l'amiral Jaureguiberry ne parviendrait pas à l'en convaincre.\n\nM. Georges Perin. Alors, vous n'exécuterez pas le traité de 1874?\n\nM. le ministre. Nous l'exécuterons, soyez-en sûr, parce que nous avons l'espérance et croyance fondée qu'il y a d'autres moyens, et de plus sûrs qu'une police faite dans les conditions où nous sommes placés actuellement, d'avoir raison du brigandage et de la piraterie. Nous sommes assurés que le brigandage et la piraterie diminueront promptement, au moment où l'on et l'autre ne seront plus favorisés et soldés par l'autorité elle-même. (Très bien! très bien!)\n\nNous avons même la pensée, et nous avons quelque raison de le dire, qu'une partie de ces brigands pourraient bien devenir quelque jour les auxiliaires et les instruments de notre police (Mouvements divers), et que cette transformation, qui s'est faite dans des pays plus avancés que le Tonkin, pourrait s'effectuer à peu de frais.\n\nLe protectorat n'est pas un fait nouveau; il est à peu près aussi ancien que l'histoire. Eh bien, il serait peut-être difficile de citer un grand cas où il ait eu ce caractère volontaire que M. Delafosse dit être de son essence.\n\nLa mission, messieurs, est difficile; car, vous le voyez, nos relations avec la cour de Hué ne sont pas bonnes. La cour de Hué est, on peut le dire, à notre égard, non pas sur un pied de guerre, mais sur un pied d'hostilité. Elle a été l'ouvrière de toutes les manoeuvres contre lesquelles nous avons eu à nous prémunir; c'est elle qui a réveillé les prétentions endormies de la Chine; et cependant nous avons cru qu'il était digne de nous, qu'il était conforme non seulement aux convenances, mais à la justice, avant de prendre en mains et par une manière qui doit être cette fois efficace, de régler sa politique intérieure de manière à éviter les complications. C'est là, messieurs, le vrai signe du protectorat, c'est par là qu'il se reconnaît, c'est par là que les auteurs, s'il faut parler des auteurs, le caractérisent, le définissent. Eh bien, ce caractère, je le trouve précisément dans l'article 3 du traité de 1874.\n\nLes droits inhérents au protectorat, indispensables pour maintenir l'ordre, pour prévenir les complications, pour exercer une tutelle effective, ces droits ne résultent donc pas, par voie de conséquence, du traité de 1874; ils y sont inscrits de la manière la plus explicite. Seulement, je dois bien reconnaître que la conduite du gouvernement de Hué a été telle, ses violations du traité de 1874 ont été si répétées et si continues que ce traité, si clair qu'il soit, ne l'est pas encore assez...\n\nUn membre à gauche. Il faut le refaire!\n\nM. le ministre. ...et il est certain - je vous le disais tout à l'heure que, si nous avions, en temps opportun, rappelé dès les premières violations le gouvernement d'Annam à l'accomplissement de ses engagements, c'est-à-dire au sentiment de sa faiblesse; si nous lui avions fait comprendre, d'une manière irréfragable, qu'un traité conclu avec la France ne pouvait pas rester lettre morte, nous aurions ainsi prévenu bien des difficultés.\n\nNous ne l'avons pas fait. Aussi nous sommes-nous trouvés dans la nécessité — il y a déjà assez longtemps, il y a plusieurs années -de demander un complément au traité de 1874; seulement, lorsque le Gouvernement s'est décidé à cette démarche, il était déjà trop tard; notre voix n'était plus écoutée à Hué; on y avait pris le parti de ne plus entendre à rien. On avait conçu l'espérance -malheureuse- assez fondée de nous fatiguer par des difficultés de toute espèce et de nous amener, de guerre lasse, à une retraite définitive.\n\nAussi, lorsque M. Reinhardt, notre envoyé à Hué, s'est présenté, porteur d'une convention complémentaire, on ne peut pas dire qu'il a montré son ordre et n'a rien obtenu, car il n'a pas eu à le montrer, il a été tenu à distance par les ministres, notamment par le ministre des finances de Ta-Duc, notre ennemi de tous les temps, et il n'est point parvenu à voir le souverain.\n\nVous savez, messieurs, ce qui est arrivé, il y a quelques semaines, lors des derniers incidents militaires du Tonkin. M. Reinhardt, impuissant depuis longtemps, menacé, exposé tous les jours à quelque injure qui eût grande importance...\n\nMessieurs, je ne sais pas si nous avons grande chance d'être cette fois mieux écoutés que nous ne l'avons été jusqu'à présent; peut-être cette démarche ne sera-t-elle pas mieux accueillie à Hué, que les précédentes, moins toutefois que l'échec du coup de main tenté sur la forteresse d'Hanoi, que la prise de Nam-Dinh, que la résolution à laquelle nous nous sommes arrêtés et que, j'espère, vous voudrez bien ratifier; à moins, dis-je, que cette attitude ne produise quelque impression sur l'esprit de Ta-Duc, et cela n'est pas impossible. Nous n'avons pas voulu, en tous cas, appuyer cette démarche par une force militaire; nous ne l'avons pas voulu, messieurs, parce qu'une action accomplie à Hué n'a qu'un très faible effet sur le Tonkin, où les mandarins annamites agissent à leur guise et souvent sans consulter leur souverain, tandis que toute action au Tonkin a son contre-coup et son retentissement immédiat à Hué. Nous ne l'avons pas voulu parce que, s'il fallait exercer quelque pression sur le gouvernement de Hué, nous avons, après tout, des moyens plus simples et plus sûrs de la faire sentir, étant en possession du Tonkin, c'est-à-dire du grenier de l'Annam. (Très bien! très bien!)\n\nNous ne l'avons pas voulu enfin, pour ne pas fournir prétexte à une accusation que nous repoussons; celle de vouloir porter atteinte à l'indépendance de l'Annam. (Rumeurs sur divers bancs.) Je dis l'indépendance, messieurs, parce que, si le protectorat, réduit dans quelque mesure la souveraineté, il réserve l'indépendance. Les preuves en seraient nombreuses; je vous prie de vous rappeler seulement l'article 2 du traité de 1815, qui plaçait les îles Ioniennes sous la protection immédiate du roi de la Grande-Bretagne. Cet article dit en termes formels: Les sept îles forment un Etat libre et indépendant. »\n\nUn membre à droite, Comme aujourd'hui la Tunisie!\n\nMessieurs, ce que nous voulons, ce que nous proposons, c'est d'affermir, de manière à la rendre incontestable et efficace, notre protectorat dans l'Annam, et tout particulièrement au Tonkin. Nous croyons qu'il suffira pour cela que nous en ayons la volonté, et que nous la manifestions de telle façon qu'il soit évident pour tout le monde que notre présence au Tonkin, au lieu d'être momentanée, que notre action, au lieu d'être intermittente et passagère, revêtent un caractère permanent et définitif.\n\nC'est là qu'il importe de rassurer nos amis et de prévenir les craintes de nos adversaires. Nous avons déjà donné des preuves de notre modération; nous en donnerons encore. Les populations du Tonkin, qui ont sollicité notre protection, savent que nous ne sommes pas des conquérants; elles savent que nous sommes des protecteurs. Elles s'abstiendront de toute velléité de résistance; ils s'en sont déjà abstenus parce qu'ils nous savent forts. Tout cela, messieurs, sans parler d'une autre vérité, s'il n'y avait jamais mis le pied pour cela que nous en ayons la volonté, et que nous la manifestions de telle façon qu'il soit évident pour tout le monde que notre présence au Tonkin, au lieu d'être momentanée, que notre action, au lieu d'être intermittente et passagère, revêtent un caractère permanent et définitif.\n\nM. le ministre. Messieurs, quel que soit d'ailleurs le succès de notre démarche à Hué...",

        "content_text": "## JOURNAL OFFICIEL DE LA RÉPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE\n\nÀ 150 mètres de la porte, le terrain entre ces mamelons est cultivé en gradins horizontaux, disposés pour tenir l'eau nécessaire à la culture des rizières; les talus qui séparent les champs sont perpendiculaires à la direction suivie par l'assaillant; ils ont 60 à 80 centimètres de hauteur et forment des parapets naturels derrière lesquels l'infanterie et l'artillerie peuvent s'abriter et faire feu sans travaux préparatoires.\n\nDès deux heures, le tir de la batterie de la digue contre la pagode de Mien-Haï-Dong la fait évacuer promptement. Plus tard, vers trois heures et demie, elle est occupée par une compagnie de tirailleurs algériens (lieutenant Ganeral, ancienne compagnie Doucet) et une compagnie d'infanterie (capitaine Bauchs), toutes deux du bataillon Dulien, et par une batterie d'artillerie. Vers la même heure, le bataillon de la légion étrangère prend position en avant du hameau de Ha-Tray, dans des maisons situées à 300 mètres environ de la porte Ouest, et derrière les petits terrassements qui coupent la plaine à cet endroit. De là, il dirige un feu non interrompu sur la place, qui riposte vigoureusement de ses fusils et de ses canons.\n\nAccompagné des colonels Bichot, Belin, Badens et Revillon, je vais reconnaître la position à la hauteur des lignes de tirailleurs. Un feu très vif part de toute la ligne; les troupes désignées pour rester en réserve trépignent d'impatience; le colonel Bichot est obligé de se multiplier pour les empêcher de suivre leurs camarades.\n\n### \n\nL'ennemi dirige sur nos braves un feu intense, plusieurs tombent, mais rien n'arrête leur élan. La tête de colonne de la légion étrangère, ne pouvant franchir la porte murée, file vers la droite le long de la fortification et réussit à se frayer un passage à travers le fouillis inextricable de bambous et d'obstacles de toutes sortes qu'y ont accumulés les défenseurs; le capitaine adjudant-major Mehl tombe frappé d'une balle au milieu de ses hommes; une partie des marins déblaie la poterne, tandis que d'autres traversent directement le fossé avec l'infanterie de marine et rejoignent la légion étrangère sur le talus extérieur du rempart; ceux que l'encombrement retient en dehors couvrent le parapet de feux. Après des efforts inouïs, la haie de bambous cède. Le soldat Mínnaert, de la légion étrangère; le quartier-maître Le Gair'zec, des fusiliers marins, et le caporal Mouriaux, de l'infanterie de marine, entrés les premiers dans l'intérieur de la place, sont immédiatement suivis par des masses nombreuses. La batterie de la porte murée est tournée et envahie, les grands étendards noirs tombent et sont remplacés par le drapeau français, les ennemis font en désordre vers la citadelle, nos troupes les poursuivent à travers les rues.\n\nÀ cinq heures quarante-cinq, j'entre dans la place, accompagné de mon état-major général; la nuit se fait rapidement, couvrant la retraite de l'ennemi qu'il serait téméraire de poursuivre au milieu de l'obscurité dans une ville inconnue. Il faut s'arrêter au milieu de ce brillant triomphe et s'organiser contre un retour offensif.\n\nPendant ce temps, le mouvement tournant de l'ennemi sur notre droite était facilement arrêté par les tirailleurs algériens et les canons Hotchkiss du Pluvier. L'Eclair et la Trombe exécutaient un bombardement lent et précis de la citadelle intérieure, dont la base et les abords portent la trace de leurs obus. Ce bombardement, quoiqu'ayant seulement une action indirecte dans la lutte qui se poursuivait, ébranlait puissamment le moral de l'ennemi en rendant presque intenable son seul refuge en cas de défaite.\n\n| \n| --- | --- |\n| Trois batteries d'artillerie sont placées, | deux à gauche, la dernière à droite du hameau de Phu Sa et Sontay ont leur place marquée de mon état-major général; |\n| le bataillon de fusiliers marins, massé en réserve à l'abri d'un monticule, | un peu en arrière des batteries de gauche. |\n\nVers 4 heures, la batterie de 65mm du corps de débarquement vient prendre position un peu en arrière des lignes de la légion étrangère, à la hauteur d'un petit tertre où se tient l'état-major général.\n\nL'artillerie cesse son feu; je commande : \"En avant!\" Les clairons sonnent la charge, nos vaillants soldats se précipitent aux cris de: \"Vive la France!\" La légion étrangère, ayant à sa tête le commandant Donnier, court vers la porte murée; le bataillon des marins, guidé par le commandant Laguerre, vers la poterne de droite, où s'élance également la compagnie Bauche, du bataillon Dulien.\n\nLe colonel Bichot s'occupe immédiatement d'approvisionner la place en munitions, en vivres; le commandant Laguerra est nommé commandant supérieur, le lieutenant-colonel de Maussion demande à le seconder: trois bataillons et trois batteries passeront la nuit dans l'enceinte; le bataillon de marins occupera l'enceinte depuis la porte Ouest jusqu'à la porte Nord, la légion étrangère occupera cette porte et la rue qui se dirige vers la citadelle; le bataillon Dulien occupera la partie de l'enceinte qui s'étend au sud de la porte Ouest. On restera toute la nuit sur la défensive. Le premier soin est de rendre les portes Nord et Ouest praticables, de barricader les rues qui mènent à la citadelle. Celle-ci sera attaquée le lendemain matin.\n\nJe rentre à huit heures du soir au quartier général, après avoir vu arriver le premier convoi de vivres et de munitions.\n\nLa nuit se passa dans un calme profond. Dès que le jour parut, le commandant Laguerre et le colonel de Maussion, qui s'avançaient prudemment pour reconnaître les abords de la citadelle, purent constater que l'ennemi l'avait évacuée. Ils y pénétrèrent sans coup férir.\n\nÀ neuf heures du matin, j'y entrais moi-même accompagné du colonel Bichot et des officiers de l'état-major général, aux acclamations de nos vaillants soldats; un drapeau tricolore, formé de trois lambeaux de pavillons ennemis noués ensemble, flottait sur la tour de Sontay. Jamais trophée ne fit battre plus vivement le cœur d'un Français.\n\nOn a su depuis que l'ennemi avait fui la ville en désordre aussitôt après l'assaut de la porte Ouest. Tout y indique une fuite précipitée. Canons, argent, munitions, vivres, armes, les défenseurs ont tout abandonné... tout, même leurs morts, malgré le respect légendaire que les Pavillons Noirs eux-mêmes professent pour les victimes du feu de l'ennemi.\n\nFaute de pouvoir leur couper la retraite, je fis partir immédiatement l'Eclair pour les empêcher de franchir la rivière Noire. Quoique cette canonnière calât à peine 80 à 90 centimètres, la baisse des eaux du fleuve ne lui permit pas d'atteindre le confluent de la rivière Noire. Il fallut se résigner à laisser les débris de l'armée de Louu-Vinh-Phuc se réfugier dans la direction d'Hanghoa et remettre au mois de mai l'expédition contre cette forteresse.\n\nD'après les renseignements que nous avons pu recueillir jusqu'à présent, les pertes de l'ennemi seraient très considérables : 900 tués et plus de blessés; Louu-Vinh-Phuc et son lieutenant blessés, plusieurs mandarins chinois tués.\n\nDe notre côté, 68 tués et 249 blessés le 14; 15 tués et 70 blessés le 16. Dans ce nombre, 4 officiers tués et 22 blessés.\n\nLes journées du 14 et du 16 resteront à jamais mémorables. Le corps expéditionnaire du Tonkin, composé d'éléments divers, mais animés du même souffle, a accompli des prodiges de valeur.\n\nJe suis avec un profond respect, monsieur le ministre, votre très obéissant serviteur.\n\n**Le contre-amiral commandant en chef les forces de terre et de mer au Tonkin,**\n\nA.

        "content_text": "# No. 261.\n\n## Enclosure 1.\n\n22nd August, 1888.\n\n### GOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONGKONG, 3rd September, 1888.\n\nMY LORD,\n\nI have the honour to forward for Your Lordship's consideration a Memorial addressed to you by Mr. DEANE, the Captain Superintendent of Police of this Colony, complaining of certain Minutes of mine referring to him.\n\n2. In the second paragraph of this Memorial, under the heads (a), (b), (c) and (d) Mr. DEANE has given his account of the events which preceded the first of these impugned Minutes, which account I append in a note for greater convenience of reference, and in order to render the following comments more readily intelligible.*\n\n3. As to (a), I have merely to remark that though there is no doubt as to the fact of Sergeant SHEIK ALIM having been deserted by a Chinese woman who had been living with him, there is no evidence beyond the mere statement of the Sergeant that she was his lawful wife, or that she took with her any property belonging to the Sergeant (the value of this being here stated at 1,100 dollars, and in the speech of his Counsel at 1,600 dollars); moreover, that if the woman was his lawful wife, the case was one of those where the determination of the ownership of property taken is very difficult, and one which would therefore probably have afforded no justification for a search warrant, much less for a search without warrant.\n\n* (a.) The lawful wife, a Chinese woman, of Police Sergeant SHEIK ALIM eloped, taking with her property of her husband valued at $1,100. (b.) Sergeant SHEIK ALIM, of his own notion, acting on information that he believed to be correct, but taking with him one Chinese Officer in uniform and one in plain clothes, and he himself being in uniform, went without warrant to the shop and house (which are the same) of Mr. LI KWONG CHI, Draper, in whose employ was a shopman named LEUNG KING, who was believed by Sergeant SHEIK ALIM to be the seducer of his wife, and her confederate in stealing his property. This shop and house he searched, and he brought the (c) On the 25th July, the shopman to the Charge Room, where the charge was refused, and he was released. (d) The shopkeeper forwarded to me a petition of complaint; this is a duplicate of the one forwarded on the same date to the Registrar General, which forms the first document of the enclosures. This petition I forwarded to the Inspector on duty for a report, which I received; and I then made some verbal inquiries, which put me in possession of the general outline of the case. (e) The impression produced on my mind was, that the case was one that could be most properly dealt with, in the first instance, by the Civil Court of Summary Jurisdiction, as that court would, if on the evidence Sergeant SHEIK ALIM was found to blame, be able to award Mr. LI KWONG CHI damages for ordinary civil trespass or damages for trespass as a Felice Officer. Mr. LI KWONG CHI was therefore informed to that effect.\n\nThe Right Honourable  \nLORD KNUTSFORD, G.C.M.G.,  \n&c.,  \n&c.,  \n&c.",

        "content_text": "## \n56 \n17 \n\n4. (b.) \"The shop and house (which are the same).\" The living apartments are on the floor above the shop. \"This house and shop he searched.\" It is to be observed that the search was here admitted, though it was strenuously denied on the trial, both of the defendant's witnesses having moreover denied that he went upstairs at all. \n\n\"He brought the shopman to the charge-room.\" From this it may be inferred that the Sergeant, as I had suspected, brought him there under arrest. It is true that LEUNG KING, the man who was thus \"brought,\" says of the Sergeant in his evidence that \"he asked me to go to the Station with him.\" But apart from the probability of a slight incorrectness of interpretation, by the substitution of \"asked\" for \"told,\" it may be supposed that a request from a Sergeant of Police, who, according to his own witnesses, was talking in a loud tone, and who had two constables to assist him was practically the same as an order which it was compulsory to obey. \n\n5. (d.) \n\n\"The impression produced on my mind was, that the case was one that could be most properly dealt with in the first instance by the Civil Court of Summary Jurisdiction.\" Towards the end of the Memorial Mr. DEANE says \"The offence appeared to me to be partly one of a civil nature, and partly one amenable to the criminal law under the Police Ordinance.\" \n\nIt would thus appear from his referring the complainant to his civil remedy that he regards the civil aspect of a case as more important than the criminal one, to say the least a singular view to be taken by a Chief of Police; and it is clear from the words \"in the first instance\" that he desires to be attributed to him the intention of ulterior proceedings after the question of civil grievance had been decided. Indeed in a subsequent part of the Memorial he more distinctly intimates that such had been his intention, though he still leaves in obscurity the nature of such proceedings. I refer to the words \"The possibility of my having the matter in train, as was the fact, and of my taking such farther action as might be required at the proper moment does not seem to have been entertained.\" \n\n6. On this point I must point out that the Police action which was the subject of the charge took place on the 24th July; that on the 25th of the same month the aggrieved person made his complaint to the Police, when he was referred to his civil remedy by Mr. DEANE'S Minute of that date in the following terms:-- \"Inform petitioner that Sergeant SHEIK ALIM acted in his private capacity, and not as a Police Sergeant, or if he did so in either case he can bring an action against him in the Summary Court, if he pleases;\" that on the 27th of the same month Mr. DEANE became aware that instead of following what he subsequently terms this advice, the complainant had appealed to the Governor through the Registrar General, and he then wrote a Minute in reply to the enquiry of the Registrar General in which he again refers to a civil remedy and no other; that in all these proceedings there is not the slightest indication of any consciousness on the part of Mr. DEANE that the case was one deserving of any action on his part, other than the giving of the above advice, and that it was not until the Governor had drawn his attention to the matter by the minute of the 1st August, that Mr. DEANE at the end of his Minute of the same date for the first time shows any such consciousness. Even then he apparently does not see that the credit and discipline of the Force is in any way involved; and merely states his willingness to have exercised his discretion by sending the case before a Magistrate for trial, if the complainant had requested him to hear the case. \n\n7. Had Mr. DEANE anywhere categorically stated his intention of taking ulterior proceedings, I should of course believe him, despite all appearances to the contrary, but in the absence of any such assertion, I cannot regard the suggestion of this secret intention as entitled to any greater weight in the consideration of his conduct than if its existence were a mere after-thought. I have dealt thus particularly with the question of intention, not because it is very material to a judgment on Mr. DEANE'S action in this particular case, but rather with a view to illustrate the spirit and principles of his Police Government, and to show the complaisance, to say the least with which (whatever may have been his occult intentions) the Chief of the Police Force regards and treats the serious complaint of a respectable Chinese Householder. \n\n8. But even if Mr. DEANE be given full credit for the suggested intention, I respectfully submit that his action and attitude were an error of judgment, not of a venial character as he contends, but one which showed an unconsciousness of one of the first principles of Police Government, and a dangerous indifference to the rights and feelings of the race which furnishes the bulk of the population of this Colony. \n\n## \nC \n1 \n10 \n\n9. After the receipt of the Governor's Minute of 4th August, compelling him to take action in respect of the breach of discipline, (which from his preliminary statement in the Memorial it now appears was admitted by the principal offender) Mr. DEANE'S action gave additional evidence of the above defects of judgment. The view of it taken by me is contained in my Minute of 14th August; and Your Lordship will probably deem it sufficient if I add to the observations there made such as are needed by way of reply to the further statements and remarks which follow the copies of correspondence in Mr. DEANE'S Memorial, and in which are included the \"points\" (numbered i to xii) submitted by him for Your Lordship's consideration. \n\n10. (i.) \"It would have been improper conduct on my part in any way to have anticipated the possible decision of the Court to which I had referred the Petitioner.\" \n\nI submit (1) that he was wrong in so referring the petitioner under any circumstances (2) that in the particular circumstances of this case he was specially wrong; as even if he is right in his denial as to Chinese reluctance to enter into legal conflict with the Police (a view which I shall deal with presently) he must have known very well, when he gave it, that his advice was not likely to be followed. For the slightest consideration would have shown the improbability of a Chinese risking the payment of costs however small with a view to obtain damages from an Indian Sergeant of Police, who had just by his own admission lost a large sum of money, representing in all probability the whole, or the greater part, of his savings. \n\n11. The case would have been somewhat different if the complainant had been informed that the punishment of the Sergeant would depend upon the evidence obtained in the civil suit. But in fact not the slightest intimation of the kind was given, and the terms of Mr. DEANE'S Minute were such as leave no room for doubt in the complainant's mind that the civil remedy was all he could expect. (3) That it was Captain DEANE's duty, for the credit of his Force, to have made enquiry whether his advice was going to be taken with a view, if it was not, to immediate proceedings on his own part; (4) and even in the absence of such enquiry and on the assumption that the matter was going before a Civil Court, there was no reason whatever why the Sergeant should not have been at once punished by Mr. DEANE for the serious breach of discipline which he admitted. For this could in no way have affected the decision of the Court as to the damages suffered by the complainant. \n\n12. \"It will be observed that at the very outset His Excellency in his minute of the 1st August is pleased to take into his own hands the direction of the course to be pursued.\" \n\nIt only needs reference to this Minute to see that I did nothing of the kind. I simply made enquiry as to what had been done; and it is sufficiently obvious that by the words \"the course to be pursued\" I meant the course to be pursued by me, and not the course to be pursued by Mr. DEANE as he has conveniently assumed. The allegation would have been more plausible if made with reference to my Minute of the 4th August. But even then it would have been incorrect. \n\nFor as a matter of fact, Mr. DEANE did not take the course which I plainly intimated to him as in my opinion the best, and sent the case before a Magistrate instead of dealing with it himself on the facts admitted by the Sergeant. \n\n13. Your Lordship will observe that at this point Mr. DEANE not only exercised his discretion by sending the case before a Magistrate, but also in respect of the nature of the charge and the manner of bringing it. \n\nAs pointed out by Mr. DEANE, the charge might have been brought either under section 23 of Ordinance 14 of 1887 as a breach of discipline; or under section 22 of the same Ordinance as \"misconduct as a constable,\" involving on conviction a much severer punishment. Mr. DEANE chose the latter; and the question is why did he do so? Only the 23rd section gives the Captain Superintendent the option of trying a case himself, or, in his discretion, of sending it before a Magistrate, and as my attention had not been drawn to the 22nd section it was this 23rd section of course to which I alluded in my Minute of the 4th August instructing him to exercise his discretion. If Mr. DEANE, after considering the matter (according to his own statement) as one \"which should be tried civilly and not criminally,\" chose the severer section because he had so entirely altered his view...",

        "content_text": "## 2 \n\n## 11 \n\nprevious view as to take a graver view of the case than the Governor, he surely would have given this as his reason. As it is the only one he gives for his choice is contained in the following words (Par. 5 of his letter of 14 August). The usual course was adopted of framing the charge on the wider scope, viz, misconduct as a constable, and of recording as in similar cases the party complaining as Complainant, the Chief Inspector watching the case. \n\n## 6+ \n\n14. Here we have an indication of what I have not the least doubt, was his real reason. Section 23 makes it clear that if the Captain Superintendent exercises his discretion in sending the case before the Magistrate, he must do so in his own name. The enactment of Section 22 is not so precise on this point, though in the opinion of the Attorney General, the Superintendent's duty under it is equally obvious; and indeed most if not all the charges which could be brought are in their nature such that they could only be made by the Police authorities, with the Captain Superintendent as complainant. This clause, however, afforded a colourable excuse, which the other did not, for introducing a private person as complainant; and so, Mr. **DEANE** took the extraordinary course of entering in the charge-sheet the person who complained to him as the complainant before the Magistrate, and practically forced that person to appear in that character without first consulting him, and as it appears, entirely against his will. The conduct of the trial which subsequently took place is one of the gravest points in the case, as if it had been the primary object of the Police authorities to secure the acquittal of the accused, they could scarcely have taken any course better calculated to attain it. But what I wish to point out specially in this place is that the distinct evasion of his proper responsibility on the part of Mr. **DEANE** is another and a serious instance of the defect in his conduct which is referred to in the Report of the Recent Committee of Council made before my arrival in the Colony. \n\n15. The circumstances of the trial above referred to are stated at some length in my minute of the 18th August. The additional attention which this Memorial has compelled me to give to the subject has shown me, however, that they might have been put much more forcibly. It will be observed that in the letter of Mr. **HORSPOOL**, the Chief Inspector, he states \"and I also sent word to the complainant, asking him to be present, with his witnesses, on that date at 10 o'clock.\" Whether the message was delivered by the Chinese constable in this form, or whether the complainant was told to be at Court and to bring **LEUNG KING** without the word witness being mentioned, it is now impossible to determine. We have, however, the statement of the complainant, which seems very likely to be true, that he went to Court without any knowledge of the part he had to play there; and as he had merely asked that the Sergeant should be reprimanded, he was obviously quite unprepared for the proper conduct of his case against a lawyer on the other side, and with the Police certainly not on his side. \n\n16. For beyond the evidence given on behalf of Sergeant **SHEIK ALIM** by two constables, whose position, if any, in the case should have been that of co-defendants, the only part taken by the Police in Court was that of Chief Inspector **HORSPOOL**, who gave evidence as to the defendant's previous good character. It is true that according to the Captain Superintendent, Mr. **HORSPOOL** watched the case and Mr. **HORSPOOL** himself states that he watched the case \"on behalf of the Police.\" I do not doubt that he watched the case on behalf of the Police; but the question is with what purpose did he watch it? For that of securing that the true facts were elicited? or for that of procuring an acquittal? There is not the slightest evidence either in his own or Mr. **DEANE**'s statements or in the printed report of the case forwarded by Mr. **DEANE**, or in the Magistrate's notes of the case, that he took the former part; while there is strong negative evidence on the other side. Not to mention that the first alternative implies a position which should be, to say the least, impartial, and that if he appeared in that position it would have been well, for the sake of appearance, that the evidence to character should have been given by someone else, Mr. **HORSPOOL** finds that the defendant is represented by Counsel, and he makes no effort to have the case adjourned so that Counsel might be retained on the other side; he suggests no questions, and actually allows the Magistrate to be misled not only by the defendant's Counsel, as to the whole character of the case but by one if not both of the Police witnesses, as to a particular fact. \n\nFrom the evidence of both of these Constables, especially of one, it would be inferred that there had been no search of the House, whereas it now appears from \n\n} \n\n## Enclosure 2 \n\n16th August, 1888 \n\nCaptain **DEANE**'s memorial that according to the Sergeant's own admission the house was searched, and by the Sergeant himself (as deposed by the witness, **LEUNG KING**, though he was apparently not believed.) In fact, all that was done, and not done, by the Police in the case was such as to lead the Magistrate, and what is of more importance, the defendant and his countrymen to believe that the Authorities were against him, and that his chance of obtaining justice was hopeless. \n\n17. The suggestion in the last sentence of (i) has been already dealt with. As to the quotation in (ii) from a despatch of Mr. **STANHOPE**, I am unable to see how it helps Mr. **DEANE**'s case. On the contrary, it seems to contain his condemnation. With a perverse ingenuity of interpretation which has frequently made itself evident on previous occasions, Mr. **DEANE**, who at first looked upon the complaint as merely a matter for a civil Court, now when it suits his purpose, regards it as a criminal offence within the category indicated by Mr. **STANHOPE** in the words \"offence, unconnected with Police duty.\" Considering that the defendant and one of his subordinates when they went to the complainant's house were in uniform, and that in searching the house they performed an act which but for their character as Police, would unquestionably have been resisted, it is difficult to understand how Mr. **DEANE** can regard the offence as one unconnected with Police duty; or how he could inform the complainant as he did that the Sergeant charged had acted \"in his private capacity, and not as a Police Sergeant.\" \n\n18. But granting that Mr. **DEANE** made a mistake in his view of the case, which however extraordinary was at least genuine, I need scarcely point out that he did not follow the course prescribed by Mr. **STANHOPE**. He recommended the complainant not to \"prosecute\" for a criminal offence, \"because of the wider powers of the Court\" (in what respect pertinent to this case the powers are wider is not, and could not, be mentioned.) \n\nIt is, moreover, to be noted that when Mr. **DEANE** was at last forced by me to take action, the complainant was not afforded an option of prosecuting or not as Mr. **STANHOPE** instructs. It is true that the complainant was \"asked to go to Court by a Constable under orders from Mr. **HORSPOOL**,\" but he might well have regarded as an order, a request made under such circumstances. (He indeed alleges in his statement attached to the Petition of 152 Chinese shopkeepers, translation of which is attached, that he was told to go.) \n\nIn fact, so far from being \"guided in accordance with the spirit\" of Mr. **STANHOPE**'s instructions, as Mr. **DEANE** alleges, he directly contravened them both in the spirit and letter. \n\n19. (iii) requires no notice beyond what has been said already. As to the points on which Mr. **DEANE** states himself to \"join issue\" with me in (iv), I have merely to remark (1) that the extreme reluctance of the Chinese to enter into conflict with the Government, especially with the Police, though denied by Mr. **DEANE**, is asserted by Mr. **RUSSELL**, Acting Chief Justice, by Mr. **STEWART**, Colonial Secretary, who was for a long time Protector of Chinese, and by Mr. **LOCKHART**, who now holds that office, and also by the Attorney General. Such an opinion from Officers, some of whom are far better acquainted than Mr. **DEANE** with the Chinese and their language and have made a special study of Chinese habits and peculiarities, cannot be effectively contradicted by Mr. **DEANE** alone, supported by the single instance mentioned in his letter of the 7th August, and this even though the fact be left out of consideration that having very frequently shown himself out of sympathy with the Chinese, his opinion on such a point is entitled to very little weight; (2) that the principle which Mr. **DEANE** lays down as to the impropriety of any action on his part against a Policeman until the charge against him has been tried before a Court would require him to permit a Policeman to continue to act as such, even when he was charged with murder. \n\n20. (v) and (vi) seem to need no further comment. As to (vii), I may remark that I have never objected to the Sergeant having been brought before the Court \"by entry on a charge sheet.\" My strictures were solely directed to the complainant being brought before the Court in this way. \n\n21. As to (ix), I did not hold Mr. **DEANE** responsible because the Solicitor of the Defence chose to call certain Police Officers as witnesses on behalf of his client. I merely mentioned their appearance in this character in order to show how the complainant's case suffered from the want of a Solicitor on his side, and as one of the facts indicating that the part taken by the Police was wholly against him.",

        "content_text": "## \n22. In thus declining to be held responsible because the complainant did not employ a Solicitor, Mr. DEANE shows the same obliquity of vision as to his duty and responsibility which is apparent throughout this memorial. There is of course no reason why the defendant should not employ a Solicitor: but when he had employed one, it was the bounden duty of the Police Authorities either to apply to the Government to employ one on the other side, or at least to take care by their attitude and action in Court that the complainant's case should be as little as possible prejudiced by the want of one. It cannot be doubted that an officer of Mr. Horspool's intelligence, if he had taken any other than a nominal part in the case, could have prevented some of the serious defects in the trial which are pointed out in my minute on the Magistrate's conduct of the case. But as it was, Mr. DEANE having from the first made the mistake of treating the matter as a mere private grievance, his subordinate naturally followed suit and witnessed all that occurred in silence.\n\n23. (xi) \"His Excellency states that he is advised that the evidence was quite sufficient to warrant a conviction, yet I am inferentially accused through my influence on my subordinates of misleading a Magistrate, and His Excellency infers that I am responsible for the Magistrate's decision,\" &c.\n\nThis criticism is to a certain extent plausible and ingenious: but Mr. DEANE must have had a poor opinion of the care and ability which would be applied to the consideration of his memorial if he thought it likely to be effective. It is true that in the opinion of the Attorney General there was sufficient in the evidence to justify a conviction: but it is also clear that, but for the extremely defective way in which the complainant's case was conducted, it could have been made so strong that even a weak Magistrate could not have failed to convict. The Magistrate, seeing the attitude of the Police, might naturally suppose that the Police Authorities regarded the matter as (in the words of the defendant's Solicitor) a \"trumped up case:\" and it was thus, and only thus, that I deemed Mr. DEANE responsible not for intentionally deceiving the Magistrate, but (what is a very different thing) for action and inaction such as probably did deceive him. I have never said, nor thought, that he acted, or failed to act, with the object of deception: nor in any other sense than the above have I held him responsible for the abortive result of the trial.\n\n24. Neither have I deviated one hair's-breadth from the ordinary routine observed in sending Police Constables for trial before a Magistrate. If this was really \"ordinary routine,\" Your Lordship will, I am confident, be of opinion that it is high time it should be amended.\n\n25. (xii). Mr. DEANE's repudiation of his conduct having been biased by race distinction refers, I presume, to the following passage in my minute of 4th August: \"In conclusion, I must express a strong feeling that the course taken would have been very different if the outraged householder had been a European, and this case adds confirmation to the opinion which I had previously formed as to the unsatisfactory spirit which governs the relations between the Police Force and the Chinese inhabitants. If previous offences against Chinese on the part of the Police have been dealt with on the principle which has guided the Superintendent's action in this case, the members of the Force may well have come to believe that such acts are regarded, at least with complacency, by their superiors, and the punishment of Sergeant SHEIK ALIM, if it should be necessary for the sake of example, will be awarded in respect of an offence for which he is only partially responsible.\"\n\nAll my minutes forwarded with this despatch were read carefully by the Attorney General and the Colonial Secretary, who were requested by me to mark any expressions to which they could not give their full concurrence; and I actually struck out the only passage which was considered by them as open to exception, as entering upon ground which the Attorney General deemed debatable. I mention this not in the least to lessen my responsibility; but in order to show, with regard to the minutes generally and this passage in particular, that I wrote with the fullest deliberation.\n\n26. On reviewing the passage now, I am unable conscientiously to alter a single word, and I leave it, with confidence, to Your Lordship's judgment, without further explanation except as to one point.\n\n27. The opinion as to the unsatisfactory spirit which governs the relations between the Police Force and the Chinese inhabitants, which I mention as having been formed previously to the occurrence of this case, was based on various antecedent events which had occasioned minutes of mine scarcely less severe than that now forwarded. As Mr. DEANE has not thought fit to refer to them in his appeal, I do not deem it necessary to increase the bulk of this despatch by stating the facts which justified them and also justified the opinion above expressed.\n\n28. For I venture to think that this case, even if it stood alone, is justificatory of such an opinion, and that it would be absolutely impossible for anyone with a competent knowledge of this Colony to believe that if the shop which was the scene of the Police action in the case had been that of a European, either the Sergeant would have acted as he did, or that the Captain Superintendent would have treated the matter with equal indifference.\n\n29. If Your Lordship should in any way differ from this view, it will in that case be necessary for me to bring forward the antecedent facts as to which I am now silent. For they evidence precisely the same indifference on the part of Mr. DEANE to Chinese feelings and interests which is indicated in this case only in a manner which, but for my interference, would have had much more immediately serious consequences.\n\n30. I entirely believe Mr. DEANE's word that he is not aware of this indifference; it is indeed his total unconsciousness of it which, in his position, makes it so dangerous, and renders very plain language necessary as the only available means of correcting it.\n\n31. As Your Lordship may like to know the end of the case which is the subject of this memorial, I enclose my reply to Mr. DEANE's letter of 21st August and his final letter of 25th August containing the Order as amended at my suggestion, which he has promulgated to the Police Force.\n\n32. Lest Your Lordship should think that I ought, in accordance with the provision of the local law on the subject, to have obtained a rehearing of the charge against Sergeant ALIM, I may mention that the objections which precluded me from this course were:\n| Objection | Reason |\n| --- | --- |\n| 1. | It was very doubtful whether I have the power to order the Superintendent of Police to take the part of complainant. |\n| 2. | It was also doubtful whether on a rehearing the Magistrate could have substituted one complainant for another. |\n| 3. | I had reason to believe that the aggrieved person maintained his strong objection to appearing in that character. |\n| 4. | To have expressly sanctioned his re-appearance as complainant would have been an awkward precedent and would have deprived of its point much of the expression of view contained in my minute. |\n| 5. | With the *esprit-de-corps* of the Police aroused in favour of the defendant and a corresponding fear of offending it on the part of the Chinese, the chances of thus eliciting the full truth would have been very slight. |\n\n33. It may possibly appear to Your Lordship that in commenting upon Mr. DEANE's many errors of judgment, I have taken too grave a view of them; and that as he has been for over 20 years at the Head of the Police, the consequences of his defective principles of control would have made themselves more visible if they were as dangerous as I have described.\n\n34. In reply to such an objection, I have to say:\n| Point | Explanation |\n| --- | --- |\n| 1. | The state of things revealed in the Report of the Committee of Enquiry into the management of the Police Force which sat two years ago was of a highly unsatisfactory character. |\n| 2. | The late Cargo-boat strike (as to which, in view of your despatch No. 118 of 17th July, 1888, I have deemed it necessary to make further report in my despatch No. 262 of even date) showed not only the incompetence of the Police Force under its present management to deal effectually with violent and riotous acts committed by persons in large numbers, but, what is more serious, the utter want of confidence on the part of the Captain Superintendent either in himself or in the Force under him. |\n\nPage 13  \nEnclosure 8. 18th August, 1883.  \nEnclosure 1.  \nEnclosure 3.",

The minutes and my letters in reply will speak for themselves. I will preface them with a brief statement of their origin, and at the conclusion of the documents respectfully submit certain points for consideration:-\n\n(a) The lawful wife, a Chinese woman, of Police Sergeant SHEIK ALIM eloped, taking with her property of her husband valued at $1,100.\n\n(b) Sergeant SHEIK ALIM, of his own motion, acting on information that he believed to be correct, but taking with him one Chinese Officer in uniform and one in plain clothes, and he himself being in uniform, went without warrant to the shop and house, (which are the same) of Mr. LI KWONG CHI, a Draper, in whose employ was a shopman named LEUNG KING, who was believed by Sergeant SHEIK ALIM to be the seducer of his wife, and her confederate in stealing his property. This shop and house he searched, and he brought the shopman to the Charge Room, where the charge was refused and he was released.\n\n(c) On the 25th July, the shopkeeper forwarded to me a petition of complaint; this is a duplicate of the one forwarded on the same date to the Registrar General, which forms the first document of the enclosures. This petition I forwarded to the Inspector on duty for a report, which I received; and I then made some verbal inquiries, which put me in possession of the general outline of the case.",

        "content_text": "## 15 \n\n3 \n\n2 \n\n(d.) The impression produced on my mind was, that the case was one that could be most properly dealt with, in the first instance, by the Civil Court of Summary Jurisdiction, as that court would, if on the evidence Sergeant SHEIK ALIM was found to blame, be able to award Mr. LA KWONG CHI damages for ordinary civil trespass or damages for trespass as a Police Officer. Mr. LI KWONG CHI was therefore informed to that effect.\n\nAt this point the following correspondence commenced:-\n\n### Petition of La Kwong Chi\n\nA petition from La Kwong Chi, of the Yat Lung drapery shop, No. 3, Jervois Street, complaining of a certain party who has trumped up a false charge, and entered his premises to make a search without a warrant, and praying that, as a special favour, an investigation may be made into the matter and the party complained of dealt with, so as to give a warning to the untoward.\n\nPetitioner begs to state that the business of his firm has hitherto been carried on in an orderly manner. Unexpectedly on the 16th of this moon, (24th July) at 12 A.M., an Indian Sergeant, accompanied by two Chinese Constables, came to Petitioner's shop and entered it saying that they had come to arrest some one. To this Petitioner replied that the inmates of his shop were all well-behaved men and had not been guilty of any breach of the law. The Constables said that one of the inmates of the shop was guilty of having taken away another man's wife. Petitioner asked them to show a warrant but they were unable to produce one, and, forcibly entering the shop, made a search all over it upstairs and downstairs until at last they pointed out one of the employees of the shop, LEUNG KING, as the man charged with the offence. On this Petitioner went with him to the Central Police Station. On enquiry it became known that the Police in question had brought a false charge against LEUNG KING who was sent to the Registrar General who, after a further inquiry into the matter, allowed LEUNG KING to go. Petitioner submits that to enter a house without a warrant and to trump up false charges are both serious breaches of the law. He is therefore constrained to lay the facts of the case before your Honour with request that an inquiry may be instituted and the party who brought the false charge dealt with as a warning to the untoward and wicked and with a view to protect the inhabitants of the Colony from molestation—a concession for which Petitioner will be ever grateful.\n\nTo the **REGISTRAR GENERAL**\n\nFor transmission to\n\n**HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR**\n\n### Minute by the Registrar General\n\nThe Hon. **THE COLONIAL SECRETARY**\n\nTransmitted. On the 24th instant, Sergeant SHEIK ALIM came to this Office with the Chinaman LEUNG KING, referred to in this Petition and said that the Inspector-in-charge at the Central Police Station had sent the parties to see me, as I might be able to arrange the difficulty. On inquiry I found that the Sergeant accused the Chinaman LEUNG KING of having induced his wife to run away with a considerable amount of property. LEUNG KING denied the charge, and as there was no evidence whatever to support it, he was allowed to go. Soon afterwards the master of the shop, Mr. LAU YAM-TSUN, a highly respectable Chinese Merchant, with whom I am well acquainted, came to see me and complained of Sergeant SHEIK ALIM having gone to his shop in company with Detectives and having entered it without a warrant, which had caused a large crowd to collect and might lead to bring his business into disrepute. He stated that he did not in any way desire to screen his employee if he were guilty of the offence with which he was charged, but he submitted that it might give rise to no end of abuses and would create alarm among the native population if members of the Police Force dressed in uniform were allowed to enter premises and search them without having any warrant authorising them to do so.\n\nThe Petition transmitted herewith is from the Manager of the business, who asks that the parties who entered the shop and searched it may be reprimanded in order to prevent a recurrence of the same kind on any further occasion.\n\n**J. H. STEWART LOCKHART**,  \nRegistrar General.\n\n26th July, 1888.\n\n### Minute by the Colonial Secretary\n\nTo the Honourable Captain Superintendent of  \nPolice for his observations.\n\n27th July, 1888.\n\n**F. STEWART**,  \nColonial Secretary.\n\n### Minute by the Captain Superintendent of Police\n\nPetitioner has previously been told that one of his shopmen is supposed to have eloped with Sergeant SHEIK ALIM's wife and $1,100 in clothing, &c., and that Sergeant SHEIK ALIM suspected that she was in Petitioner's house and was looking for her. He was further told that he had his remedy by an action for trespass in the Summary Court if he chose to bring it.\n\n27th July, 1888.\n\n**W. M. DEANE**,  \nCaptain Superintendent of Police.",

I sent the petition to the Inspector on duty for the previous day, and received the following report.\n\n### Report by Inspector J. M. CORCORAN\n\nHon. CAPTAIN SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE, \nSIR,\n\n\"The petitioner's shopman was brought to the Charge Room yesterday afternoon by Sergeant SHEIK ALIM who stated the man was hiding his wife. The latter ran away from home taking money and jewellery value about $1,400. I told SHEIK ALIM that I could not entertain a charge of that sort and referred him to the Registrar General. I did not make an entry of the matter in Refused Charge Book. The petitioner came to the Charge Room to see what would be the result of the case.\"\n\nI have &c., \nJ. M. CORCORAN, Inspector.\n\n2. I made further verbal inquiries and arrived at the conclusion that if Sergeant SHEIK ALIM's story was true, viz., that the Petitioner's shopman, who lived in his house, had eloped with the Sergeant's wife and that he had reasonable cause to suppose that he had taken her to that house that he might possibly be justified in searching for her without a warrant.\n\n3. I therefore was of opinion that the offence, if any, was of a civil rather than of criminal nature so far as Sergeant SHEIK ALIM was concerned, and I endorsed the petition on the same date, viz., 25th July, 1888, for the direction of the Chinese Clerk.\n\n### Endorsement on the Petition\n\n\"Inform Petitioner that Sergeant SHEIK ALIM acted in his private capacity and not as a Police Sergeant or if he did so, in either case, he can bring an action against him in the Summary Court, if he pleases.\"\n\n25th July, 1888. \nW. M. DEANE, Captain Superintendent of Police.\n\n4. I have not yet been informed whether or not the Petitioner has taken action as suggested. Had the petitioner been present and had expressed his desire not to take civil action and asked me to hear the case I should certainly have exercised the discretion vested in me by Ordinance of sending it before a Magistrate for trial, as I have no power to examine witnesses on oath or declaration and this is one of those cases in which, to use the mildest expression, exaggerated testimony may be expected.\n\nW. M. DEANE, Captain Superintendent of Police. \n1st August, 1888.\n\n## Governor's Minute\n### COLONIAL SECRETARY'S OFFICE, HONGKONG, 4th August, 1888\n\nThe following Minute by His Excellency the Governor on a Minute of the 2nd instant from the Honourable the Captain Superintendent of Police respecting the case of Sergeant SHEIK ALIM and others is communicated to him for his information:\n\n\"An illegal outrage, such as that of searching a dwelling-house without warrant, is far more culpable in a member of the Police Force than in an ordinary person, and I deeply regret to observe that that committed by Sergeant SHEIK ALIM, in this case, was deemed deserving of no action on the part of the Captain Superintendent, who merely referred the complainant to his civil remedy.\n\nThe Captain Superintendent must well know the extreme reluctance of the Chinese to enter into legal conflict with the Government, especially with the Police, so that the redress to which the outraged person was confined was practically none at all. But, whether the civil remedy had been sought or not, the act of the Sergeant should have been treated as a serious breach of Police duty, and have been dealt with accordingly.\n\nWhat should have been done previously must be done now, whether the case be heard before the Captain Superintendent himself, or in his discretion sent before the Magistrate. It appears to me, however, that if the Sergeant admits the search without warrant there is no necessity for evidence under oath, as suggested by the Captain Superintendent. For the degree of violence used in the search is a matter of comparatively little importance.",

        "content_text": "## Captain Superintendent of Police to Colonial Secretary\n\nNo. 161.\n\n**SIR,**\n\nPOLICE DEPARTMENT,  \n7th August, 1888.\n\nI have the honour to report that after due consideration of His Excellency the Governor's Minute of the 4th August, 1888, in `C.S.O.1898`, I adopted the alternative of sending Sergeant SHEIK ALIM for trial before a Stipendiary Magistrate. The case came on at the Magistracy, and was adjourned until the afternoon of the 8th instant.\n\n2. I have further to inform His Excellency that no question whatever of class or race distinction entered my mind with reference to the primary disposal of the case, and that the sole question that I considered was whether the case was one, which, having regard to the interests of both parties, could be the better dealt with by civil or criminal procedure, and that I gave my unbiased preference to the former, as being more suitable. The question so far as affected Police Discipline appeared to me to be one that could well stand over for consideration, until the personal and private portion of the affair had been judicially settled.\n\n3. His Excellency has been pleased to remark that \"The Captain Superintendent must well know the extreme reluctance of the Chinese to enter into legal conflict with the Government, especially with the Police, so that the redress to which the outraged person was confined, was practically none at all.\" With reference to this I have respectfully to state that I have no such knowledge as is presumed. So many Chinese have been brought up in English lawyers' offices, that I believe the knowledge of the impartiality of the British law is fully known to the Chinese Shopkeepers in this Colony, and that such reluctance has no longer any tangible existence. This belief is the more strengthened by the fact that I myself as Captain Superintendent of Police was within the last two years summoned by a Shopkeeper before the very Court in question to answer a demand for the recovery of some money which had been obtained by Government, and repayment of which was resisted by Government. I had therefore no reason to believe that I was making the Petitioner a suggestion of a course other than one obvious and practicable.\n\n4. With reference to the strong feeling expressed by His Excellency in the concluding portion of His Excellency's Minute, I have respectfully to report that the entertainment of any such class or race feeling, as is therein referred to, is entirely opposed to my sentiments, and has no existence in fact; and that I possess letters from His Excellency's Predecessors, from former Attorneys General and other high Officials containing expressions of opinion wholly incompatible with the possible existence of any such feeling; and had I, or the Police Force under my command (one half of whom are Chinese) entertained and carried out any such class or race prejudices the evidence thereof may reasonably have been expected to have been prominently brought forward, and to have been the subject of official comment at some time during the twenty-one years that I have had the honour to command the Police Force previous to His Excellency's arrival in the Colony.\n\nI have, &c.,\n\nThe Honourable  \nW. M. DEANE,  \nCaptain Superintendent of Police.\n\n## PROCEEDINGS BEFORE THE POLICE COURT\n\n(Extracted from the \"Hongkong Daily Press\" 9th August, 1888.)\n\nBefore MR. T. H.

At 12 noon on the 24th July last a foreign policeman, together with two Chinese policemen, came to the shop. One Chinese constable and the foreign constable came inside. The other Chinese constable stopped outside. The defendant was the foreign constable. He went up to one of my clerks who was writing a letter in the shop, and gave him a blow with his fist. He did not hit my clerk. The latter dodged the blow. Defendant then tried to strike him again, but he dodged that blow also. On seeing that the defendant was so furious, I called in the master of the shop. Defendant tried to hit my clerk again, but he went upstairs. Defendant followed him upstairs.

As in that case a private person appeared as complainant, I desire to know whether that was the manner in which you thought your discretion should be exercised, and to be informed by what means Mr. La Kwong Cur was induced to appear as Complainant.\"\n\n**FREDERICK STEWART, Colonial Secretary.**\n\n## Captain Superintendent of Police to Colonial Secretary, No 171\n\n### POLICE DEPARTMENT, 14th August, 1888\n\nSIR,\n\nIn reply to the minute of His Excellency the Governor in C.S.O. 18, dated 14th August, 1888, with reference to the late charge against Sergeant SHEIK ALIM, as preferred in the duplicate petition of Mr. LI KWONG CHI sent to me, and to the Registrar General (C.S.O. 4481 as above) respectively, I have the honour to report that Ordinance 14 of 1888 clause 22 provides that a Magistrate may try a Police Sergeant for misconduct as a Constable, and on conviction the penalty may be a fine of $200, or in default of payment, six months imprisonment, and that clause 23 provides that the Captain Superintendent may, in his discretion, bring Police Officers for trial before a Magistrate on charges of breaches of discipline in which case the penalty is limited to a term not exceeding fourteen days' imprisonment.\n\n2. I forwarded on the 1st instant in answer to His Excellency's inquiry, a report showing that my opinion of the case and my advice to the petitioner was that it was a matter that should be tried civilly and not criminally.\n\n3. His Excellency was pleased to overrule this opinion and to command as follows.\n\n\"What should have been done previously, must be done now, whether the case be heard before the Captain Superintendent himself, or in his discretion sent before the Magistrate. It appears however that if the Sergeant admits the search without warrant, there is no necessity for evidence under oath, as suggested by the Captain Superintendent, for the degree of violence used in the search is a matter of comparatively little moment.\"\n\n4. In obedience to His Excellency's commands and in accordance with the latitude therein allowed I adopted the usual course in such matters, namely of directing the Chief Inspector to place Sergeant SHEIK ALIM on the Charge Sheet and to notify Mr. LI KWONG CHI that the charge would be heard before a Magistrate on the 7th August. I enclose a copy of the Charge Sheet, and of the Chief Inspector's report.\n\n5. The usual course was adopted of framing the charge on the wider scope, viz., misconduct as a Police Constable and of recording, as in similar cases, the party complaining as Complainant, the Chief Inspector watching the case.\n\nI have, &c.,\n\n**W. M. DEANE, Captain Superintendent of Police.**\n\nTHE COLONIAL SECRETARY.\n\n## Previous Text\n\nthe door, a distance of 20 feet separated us from the fat boy. The statement of the fat boy that defendant tried to strike him is false. I asked who the master was, and, when he was pointed out to me, I asked him his illustrious surname. He told me, and I told him that I wanted the fat boy to come downstairs to be questioned by me about defendant's wife. He told us to go up. We went up and found the fat boy on the first floor. I had not searched upstairs. The fat boy refused to answer our questions. He only said that A-PAT patronised him, but that he did not know where she had gone to.\n\nWe then came up to the Police Station.\n\nTo the Court--The fat boy has been in Hong-kong for three or four years. If he says that he has been here for only a year, it is an untruth. Defendant was talking in a loud tone in the shop. He did not break or kick about anything. The sergeant did not go upstairs after the fat boy.\n\n**GEORGE HORSPOOL, Chief Inspector of Police**, said--I produce the character roll containing a note of defendant's character. He entered the Force on the 17th of October, 1872. In February, 1873, he was 15 minutes late for duty, and in April, 1877, he was cautioned for neglect of duty. Since that he has had a clean sheet. The character of defendant is excellent. He is now one of our best and most trustworthy officers.\n\n**CHAN CHUN, P.C. 183**, stated—I have been on the force for 18 years and four months. I have known defendant for 15 or 16 years. On the 24th July I went with him and P.C. 170 to the YAT LOONG shop in Jervois Street. I did not see the defendant strike anybody. The defendant remained in front of the counter the whole time that he was in the shop. The Chinese constable went upstairs. I did not see the defendant go upstairs.\n\nMr. WOTTON then asked for the case to be dismissed, and in addition for the prosecutor to be fined for giving false evidence. It was hard that the expense and punishment of a trial in the Police Court should fall on an innocent man, and it was only in justice that his accusers should be made to feel for the action. Under the Ordinance, the Magistrate had full power to fine them $50, or to order them to pay $50 compensation to the defendant.\n\nHis Worship said that he would not proceed to such a measure, but that he would discharge the defendant, nothing having been proved against him.\n\nPage 10\nPage 11\nPage 19\nPage 24 \n\n£6 \n\nNo translation is required as the text is already in English.

But instead of this, Mr. DEANE took upon himself in this case to enter it in the ordinary Police Charge Sheet, as the complaint of a private person, and moreover, without the slightest right to do so, required that person to appear as complainant.\n\n\"In so far as I am able to judge from the record of the proceedings, the only part taken by the Police was in defence of the accused, by the production of two witnesses on his behalf who had participated in his acts, and who should therefore have been charged conjointly with him.",

        "content_text": "Again, though there was a Solicitor employed for the defence, none appeared for the prosecution; and though there were a great number of witnesses of at least some of the acts complained of, none were summoned except those who were deeply concerned in the issue on one side or the other, and whose evidence was on that account open to be impeached; in fact the whole course pursued by the Police (their action as well as their inaction) was calculated rather to screen the accused than to elicit the true facts.\n\nThis attitude on the part of the Police no doubt contributed to mislead the Magistrate as to the nature of the case before him; and furnished some, though very slight excuse for the exceedingly perfunctory nature of his investigation.\n\nAs the matter stands, however, I am advised that the evidence was quite sufficient to warrant a conviction, and that the position of the case, when it was dismissed, was quite insufficient to warrant dismissal.\n\nAnd yet owing to the improper attitude assumed by the Police under the influence of the Captain Superintendent, I see great difficulty in now eliciting the true facts, or in dealing with the case as Justice requires.\n\nAltogether the proceedings in connexion with this charge, and its issue, are of an exceedingly unsatisfactory character, and such as may well produce among householders, especially among the Chinese, a feeling of complete insecurity against unwarranted and illegal intrusion.\n\nThe Captain Superintendent has, I regret to observe, shewn a complete failure to appreciate his duty to the public, and has evaded, not to say shirked, his proper responsibility. And as I regard his conduct and attitude as otherwise likely to have far-reaching evil consequences, I am most reluctantly compelled (notwithstanding his high position and long service) to visit them with my severe censure.\n\nMoreover the matter cannot be left in its present position; or otherwise the Members of the Police Force will certainly not be deterred from similar high-handed proceedings in future.\n\nI therefore require the Captain Superintendent to take such action as is likely to prove a wholesome warning against a recurrence of such proceedings. I make no suggestion as to what this action should be.\n\nAs there is serious danger to the peace of the community in the spirit in which the Force is being governed, as illustrated in this case, I shall be able to judge from the nature of the Captain Superintendent's action what prospect there is of improvement in this respect. On this depends the further steps which it will be necessary for me to take.\n\n**FREDERICK STEWART, Colonial Secretary**\n\n## Captain Superintendent of Police to Colonial Secretary\n\n### No. 176\n\nSIR,\n\nPOLICE DEPARTMENT, 21st August, 1888.\n\nWith reference to the latter portion of the Minute of His Excellency on `C.S.O.1889`, I have the honour to submit for His Excellency's consideration and approval the following general order.\n\n2. In framing this general order, I am placed in somewhat a delicate position, as I cannot officially publish anything that can be interpreted as a Police censure of the decision of a Magistrate, whilst on the other hand I have to bear in mind His Excellency the Governor's views on this case.\n\n3. Unless therefore the decision of the Magistrate is reversed or amended in accordance with the following powers which are often exercised: The adjudicating Justice may at any time reverse or amend his decision or appoint the case to be re-heard by himself or another Justice should it appear that such decision is erroneous or unjust, (Ordinance 5 of 1850 § XI). I am bound to use language that cannot but reflect on the recorded decision.\n\n4. **Draft General Order**. With reference to the case of Sergeant SHEIK ALIM, who has been charged with misconduct as a Constable in entering the shop of Mr. Li KWONG CHI, 3, Jervois Street, and searching his house, the Captain Superintendent has to point out to Sergeant SHEIK ALIM, and as a warning to other Members of the Force, that had the case resulted in a conviction, it is probable that dismissal from, or at least reduction in, the Service would have followed as a necessary consequence. As the matter stands the charge against Sergeant SHEIK ALIM has been dismissed, therefore the above severe measures cannot be taken, but they might be made expedient if an adverse decision to Sergeant SHEIK ALIM is hereafter given in a Civil Court or at the Police Court for any matter arising out of this case.\n\nThe spirit in which Police Officers should act with reference to matters that concern themselves personally and not the Public generally is laid down in the Departmental Orders, viz.: that no Police Inspector is to take proceedings at law for any assault upon himself or for any private personal grievance without leave of a Superintendent; and the carrying out of the spirit of this instruction is the more necessary in a Colony like this in which so many nationalities reside. It is a difficult matter to separate at all times the action of a Police Constable as such from his action as a Private Individual; but in this case Sergeant SHEIK ALIM in mingling his private wrongs with his official position by making use of one Chinese Officer in uniform...",

        "content_text": "## POLICE DEPARTMENT, \n### SIR, \n21st August, 1888.\n\nWith reference to the earlier portion of the Minute of His Excellency the Governor on C.S.O. No. 18, and to previous Minutes, it is with deep regret that I have to report, for the information of His Excellency, that, after due consideration, I feel that I am reluctantly compelled to submit a memorial to the Right Honourable the Secretary of State for the Colonies on the subject. The necessary papers will be prepared with the utmost despatch and submitted to His Excellency for transmission.\n\nI have the honour to be, \nThe Honourable \nSir, \nYour most obedient Servant, \n**W. M. DEANE**, \nCaptain Superintendent of Police.\n\nDr. F. STEWART, LL.D., \nColonial Secretary, &c., \n\nI have now respectfully to submit for Your Lordship's consideration the following points with reference to the foregoing correspondence:\n\n(i.) With reference to His Excellency's Minute of the 1st August, 1888, I respectfully submit that it would have been improper conduct on my part in any way to have anticipated the possible decision of the Court to which I had referred the matter.\n\nHad my advice been followed the case would have come on for hearing at the usual weekly sitting on the 3rd August.\n\nIt will be observed that at the very outset His Excellency in his Minute of the 1st August is pleased to take into his own hands the direction of the course to be pursued. For this reason I thereafter acted according to instructions and the routine of the Office. The possibility of my having the matter in train, as was the fact, and of my taking such further action as might be required at the proper moment, does not appear to have been entertained nor the possibility that the case was not one that could be settled on the instant.\n\n(ii.) At this point I would desire respectfully to inform Your Lordship that my action was entirely guided in accordance with the spirit of the instructions conveyed to me in the Colonial Secretary's Letter No. 1744 of 1886 of which the following is an extract \"If this is the case,\" Mr. Stanhope proceeds, \"a new instruction would appear to be required directing the Captain Superintendent to inquire into all complaints, and, if the charge is one of breach of discipline or neglect of duty, to deal with it in accordance with the Police Ordinance. If it is one of criminal offence unconnected with Police duty, and a prima facie case is made out, he should recommend the complainant to prosecute, and if the complainant fails to do so, should himself take out a summons against the accused so as to have the case tried.\" The offence charged appeared to me to be partly one of a Civil nature and partly one amenable to criminal law under the Police Ordinance. I recommended the complainant to prosecute civilly because of the wider powers of the Court. The matter was then taken out of my hands through His Excellency the Governor being pleased to override my opinion and advice.\n\n(iii.) It will be observed in Letter No. 161 my opinion was before His Excellency's notice. \"The question as far as affected Police Discipline appeared to me to be one that could well stand over for consideration until the personal and private portion of the affair had been judicially settled.\" This in connection with the standing regulation above referred to is the keynote of my action. Had the complainant taken the action I recommended then the departmental phase of the matter could be considered with due respect to the decision of the Puisne Judge. Had he not taken action then the instructions quoted in the preceding paragraph would have come into force and I must have taken action myself.\n\n(iv.) I must respectfully but decidedly join issue on the terms incorporated in the following Minute of His Excellency (4th August.) \"An illegal outrage, such as that of searching a dwelling house without warrant, is far more culpable in a Member of the Police Force than in an ordinary person, and I deeply regret to...\n\n### \n16 \n\n\"and of another in plain clothes has been such that it can reasonably be considered with reference to his character for good conduct. On this score Sergeant SHEIK ALIM is in position of a 3rd Class Good Conduct Medal carrying with the payment of five dollars a month. The Captain Superintendent much regrets having regard to Sergeant SHEIK ALIM's meritorious service for over fifteen years, and to the reputation that he bears as being a smart and intelligent Officer that he is compelled to recommend to His Excellency the Governor that this honour and privilege be withdrawn.” \n\nI have the honour to be, \nThe Honourable \nSir, \nYour most obedient Servant, \n**W. M. DEANE**, \nCaptain Superintendent of Police.\n\nDr. F.

        "content_text": "## \n\n\"observe that that committed by Sergeant SHEIK ALIM, in this case, was deemed deserving of no action on the part of the Captain Superintendent, who merely referred the complainant to his civil remedy. The Captain Superintendent must well know the extreme reluctance of the Chinese to enter into legal conflict with the Government, especially with the Police, so that the redress to which the outraged person was confined was practically none at all. But whether the civil remedy had been sought or not, the act of the Sergeant should have been treated as a serious breach of Police duty and have been dealt with accordingly.\n\nI respectfully deny that the case was deemed deserving of no action on my part.\n\nI respectfully deny the existence of extreme reluctance of the Chinese to enter into legal conflict with the Police.\n\nI respectfully submit that it would have been improper for me to have taken any decisive action which might in any way have prejudiced either of the parties before the hearing of the case by a Court, as for instance sending the man for trial deprived of his Sergeant's stripes.\n\nI submit that the departmental censure must follow and not precede possible legal action in a Court.\n\n(v.) With reference to His Excellency's Minute of the 18th August, 1888, I have respectfully to point out that the advice tendered to His Excellency does not tally with the instructions conveyed to me by Your Lordship's predecessor quoted above in (ii.)\n\n(vi.) Further that even supposing that I committed an error of judgment in advising the complainant to have resource to Civil Jurisdiction, the cost of which would not have exceeded two dollars and a half or seven and six pence sterling, yet this error of judgment scarcely merits the reflections of His Excellency.\n\n(vii.) Police Offenders are brought before a Magistrate in one of three ways, by warrant, by summons, or by entry on a Charge Sheet. I adopted the most usual plan, and I followed the instructions previously quoted.\n\n(viii.) I must respectfully decline to be held responsible because the Solicitor of the defence chose to call certain Police Officers as witnesses on behalf of his client.\n\n(ix.) I must respectfully decline to be held responsible because the defendant of his own motion chose to employ a Solicitor for his defence, and equally so because the complainant did not do so.\n\n(x.) I must respectfully decline to be held responsible for the manner in which His Excellency states the Magistrate performed his duties or for the decision at which he arrived.\n\n(xi.) I must respectfully invite Your Lordship's attention to the fact that His Excellency states that he is advised that the evidence was quite sufficient to warrant a conviction, yet I am inferentially accused through my influence on my subordinates of misleading a Magistrate, and His Excellency infers that I am responsible for the Magistrate's decision.\n\nAs to this charge or innuendo (in its legal sense) I have to give Your Lordship my most distinct denial that I have in any possible way directly or indirectly attempted to influence the Magistrate's decision; neither have I deviated one hair's-breadth from the ordinary routine observed in sending Police Constables for trial before a Magistrate.\n\n(xii.) With reference to His Excellency's expression of feeling that my conduct was biassed by Race distinctions, I have to give my most unqualified denial of the existence of any such idea on my part. I have travelled too much not to be very cosmopolitan, and I am utterly devoid of bigotry. But in connection with this matter, as the previous Governors, The Right Honourable Sir GEORGE BOWEN, and Sir JOHN POPE HENNESSY are in England, I have earnestly to beg that Your Lordship will be pleased to inquire of them whether or not they have detected any such vice in my character.\n\nIn conclusion, I have respectfully to apply that I be credited with the honest motives of an Officer and a gentleman, and with the intention of discharging the duties of my Office in the proper routine and at the proper season, and that my character may not rest under the stigma of influencing directly or indirectly a Magistrate in the discharge of his duties, or of showing class or any other feeling than that of discharging the duties of my office \"without favour or affection, malice or ill will.\"\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nMy Lord,\n\nYour most obedient humble Servant,\n\nW. M. DEANE, Captain Superintendent of Police.",

If such presumption on authority is in any way condoned, it is certain that constables who are of bad character, will be emboldened to follow the example now set, and as a result the annoyance they will cause will be unbearable.\n\nLI KWONG-CHI, master of the shop in question, reported the case by petition to the Captain Superintendent of Police, but that official paid no attention to it, as if the constables concerned were not under his control. The constables complained of were subsequently tried by the Magistrate. From their own evidence, it would appear that the offence was one which they could be reasonably suspected of being guilty of, and for which they could not escape the penalty.\n\nPetitioners submit that if these constables suspected the shop in question of harbouring offenders, they ought to have reported the matter to the Authorities and applied for a warrant to enter the shop in order to make search and arrest; but they ought not, as they have done, without warrant, to have entered a shop and searched it, and to have taken any person to the Station. If, as it is alleged, no assault was committed and no disturbance created when they entered the shop, how came it about that a large crowd collected round the door and stayed there looking on for about a quarter of an hour? The people in the crowd were eye witnesses of the search and the disturbance.\n\nNow, in the petition of the Master of the shop, it is stated that all the 3 constables went to the shop together and created the disturbance, all thus being guilty of the same offence. Why, then were the two Chinese constables made witnesses and only the Indian constable made defendant? They must have been screened in some way in order to get them out of the trouble.\n\nPetitioners, who are highly indignant at the outrageous conduct of these constables, pray that His Excellency the Governor will sift the matter to the bottom, so that restrictions may be placed on these constables to prevent the mischief.",

WILLIAM DES VŒUX.\n\n18th August, 1888.\n\n* Statements not printed.\n\n## \nCOLONIAL SECRETARY'S OFFICE, HONGKONG, 18th August, 1888,\n\nThe following Minute by His Excellency the Governor respecting the case of Sergeant SHEIK ALIM is communicated to the Acting Police Magistrate for his information:--\n\n\"This case, I regret to observe, shews a grave want of appreciation of his duty on the part of Mr. SERCOMBE-SMITH. A Sergeant of Police (who, as no questions were asked on the subject, I must presume to have been in uniform) suspecting that a certain Chinese, LEUNG KING, was concerned in the absconding of his wife, goes to the shop where the latter was employed, accompanied by two constables. One of these constables, according to his own evidence, is posted at the door \"chasing a crowd away.\" It might have thus been inferred that proceedings were intended that were likely to attract a crowd. Moreover, the fact of the Sergeant being accompanied by two constables would, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, lead to the further inference that action was contemplated which would possibly be resisted.\n\n\"As to what occurred in the shop, there is a conflict of evidence. But in consideration of the above circumstances, and of the fact that the proceedings of the accused as stated by the complainant constituted a very serious outrage, it was incumbent on the Magistrate to take far more trouble than he appears to have done, to ascertain where the truth lay. There were several other witnesses present; and before dismissing a case of so serious a kind, he should have summoned them and examined them separately, not to mention that the presence of a solicitor on the side of the defence should have suggested a much more stringent examination of the defendant's witnesses. There was, however, a still stronger reason for this increased stringency of examination. For these witnesses were participators in the action which was the subject of the charge; and their evidence, therefore, if admissible at all, was peculiarly open to suspicion.\n\n\"The visit of LEUNG KING to the Police Station in company with the Sergeant should also have been the subject of enquiry. With a view to the proper estimation of the Sergeant's conduct, it was necessary to ascertain (1) whether this man left his occupation willingly for such a purpose, or whether he was practically a prisoner, the arrest of whom under such circumstances without warrant would in itself have been a gross impropriety; (2) if he was not under arrest, and there was no search in the shop, what was the motive for proceeding there with such a force.",

That the proceedings shewed nevertheless a serious breach of discipline (in the particular referred to in your draft order) a breach of discipline which unless visited with substantial punishment would cause a general feeling of insecurity against similar proceedings; and |\n| (3.) That therefore you are compelled, and in view of the Sergeant's long and meritorious services most reluctantly compelled, to recommend the withdrawal of the honour and privilege (mentioned by you) which was granted as a reward for good conduct. |\n\nIf the Governor is right in presuming from your reference to the Departmental Order on the subject that the Sergeant is contemplating further proceedings at Law, His Excellency is of opinion that any warning you deem it necessary to give as the probable result of his failure, should be given orally, and should not be contained in the General Order; and you may at the same time inform the Sergeant that the restoration of what he now loses will depend on his conduct during the next year. Should this be invariably good His Excellency will be prepared to give favourable consideration to any recommendation you may make on the subject.",

M. DEANE**,  \nCaptain Superintendent of Police.\n\nDr. **F. STEWART, LL.D.**,  \nColonial Secretary, &c.\n\n## Enclosure.\n\n### GENERAL ORDER.\n\n1. With reference to the late charge of misconduct as a Police Officer preferred against Sergeant SHEIK ALIM, the dismissal of the case must be considered equivalent to the holding of the Sergeant guiltless of the charge in its graver aspect, but the Captain Superintendent has to point out as a warning to Sergeant SHEIK ALIM and to the whole Force, that had such charge been proved, or should any similar charge in the future be proved against any member of the Force, it would involve the dismissal or at least the reduction of the culprit.\n\n2. The proceedings in this case show a serious breach of discipline, in that Sergeant SHEIK ALIM mingled his private wrongs with his official position and made use of a Chinese Officer in uniform and of another in plain clothes to assist him in trying to remedy his alleged wrongs. This breach of discipline unless visited with substantial punishment would cause a general feeling of insecurity as to the possibility of the recurrence of similar proceedings.\n\n3. The Captain Superintendent is therefore compelled, but in consideration of Sergeant SHEIK ALIM'S previous meritorious conduct is reluctantly compelled to recommend that His Excellency the Governor should be pleased to withdraw the Good Conduct Medal given to Sergeant SHEIK ALIM, together with the privilege it conveys of a monthly payment of five dollars.\n\n4. This order to be read out at the three next inspection parades at the Central and all District Stations.\n\n25th August, 1888.\n\n**W. M. DEANE**,  \nCaptain Superintendent of Police.\n\n### Minute by the Governor.\n\nApproved.  \n**G. WILLIAM DES VŒUX**.  \n28th August, 1888.",

Sir,\n\nC.O. 29944 421 Government House, Hongkong, 20th June, 1902.\n\nI have the honour to inform you that in August last a communication (copy enclosed) was addressed to this Government by Vice-Admiral Sir Cyprian Bridge, K.C.B., Commander-in-Chief on the China Station, in which he strongly urged the necessity of undertaking certain deepening and dredging operations in the Harbour of this Colony. In this letter he pointed out that it was becoming difficult for His Majesty's Ships, with their continually increasing size, to avoid the rocks and shoals which existed in certain portions of the harbour, and that water which was navigated with ease by the Ships of a few years ago was becoming more and more inaccessible to those of recent date. In his opinion, the removal of the shoals South of Caus[?]t Rock was a work which should be undertaken at once, and he affirmed that over those rocks there should be a depth of not less than 35 feet. He added that there should be the same depth of water over all other detached and projecting shoals in the navigable part of the harbour, East of a line from the Royal Naval Torpedo Depôt to Murray Pier.\n\n2.\n\nAfter some correspondence on this important subject, in the course of which the Harbour Master stated...\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P., &c.",

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. On the other hand as \n\nIt",

Possibly they contained evidence against B. and others that could not, for technical reasons, be produced at the trial of Li Kwai ran. The Attorney-General's opinion also refers to a discrepancy in the evidence as to whether B. was in Hong Kong or Canton at the time of the murder. In the Judge's Notes, page 12, the witness Kong Ngau Ying (since dead) says he was at Hong-Kong on January 10th. The other witness Chan Aan (page 10) mentions having seen him at Canton on the 7th. Perhaps the Attorney-General may have been alluding to some other statement by Chan Man, which I have not seen.\n\nThe evidence so far is apparently not very strong, but possibly we might ask for the trial of this officer.\n\nIt is to be presumed that you will be able to say where he is to be found.\n\n* Bredu det sale!

This was inserted to make the Association a real reserve that could be counted on in time of emergency. It is necessary that we should know always what men will be available at the hour they are required. It is not intended to prevent men leaving the Association at any time for good reasons, such as leaving the Colony or suffering from serious illness, etc. With regard to the second sentence of that condition, \"Upon enrolment officers of the company will be selected from among the members and commissioned by the Governor,\" you may be perfectly certain that the Governor will select as officers those members under whom he thinks the remainder will be most willing to render efficient service.\n\nThe third condition is that the rules of the Association are to be framed by the Committee of Management elected by the members from among their own number. This provides for the Association being of the nature of a club with power to form its own rules as to rifle competitions and as to raising such funds as may be necessary and as to any other object that may appear to them desirable, having in view the general idea of the Association.\n\nThe fourth condition is that members should practise rifle shooting so as to become efficient shots, for which purpose they shall be lent rifles by the General Officer Commanding and shall be supplied with ammunition at cost price. This relieves the Association from part of the ordinary charges of rifle clubs in return for the promise to enrol in time of emergency.\n\nThe fifth condition refers to ranges-\"The use of the Volunteer and Police range will be reserved for the Association one day in the week, and the members will have the right since that was to use the range at all times when not otherwise occupied.\" published I have been in communication with the General Officer Commanding, and he is willing to make available to the Association the short rifle range that is to be provided for the military at High West, and also the military rifle range at Kowloon City. Further, I can promise the Association that so long as it is possible to use the King's Park rifle range at Kowloon with safety they will be permitted to do so.\n\nI should now like to justify my personal interest in the present scheme. From the end of the year 1895 till the end of the year 1900 it was my duty to examine the annual reports of the Commandant of the Hongkong Volunteers, and these reports during those years showed a continuous progress both as regards numbers and of efficiency. At the end of the year 1895-6 the number of Volunteers was 125; at the 1896-7, 159; 1897-8, 176; 1898-9, 181; 1899-1900, 311. I am able from my recollection of the reports of the other Volunteers and Militia in the British colonies to say that the state of the Hongkong Volunteers compared very favourably with the state of the other 80,000 Militia and Volunteers forming the auxiliary forces of the other colonies of the Empire.\n\nI was a little disappointed, therefore, when I arrived here to learn that the numbers had gone down to a little over 200, and also that there was a tendency on the part of the young men in Hongkong to abandon Volunteering for other amusements; and I had to consider what steps should be taken to revive interest in the corps and to increase its numbers and efficiency.\n\nThe experience gained during five years of dealing with reports from the colonial troops of the Empire made me believe that the best way for increasing the corps at Hong-kong was to have its various component parts under conditions which would take advantage of the special circumstances of the various classes of the population. This was a system that I followed with the Volunteers on the Gold Coast with some success.\n\nThere I found that at the various coast stations there were only a few Europeans, not enough to make a company by themselves, and disinclined to join the native corps. So I instituted a machine gun section in each of the principal ports. At Accra, the capital, the machine gun section was mainly composed of officials under the command of an official. At Cape Coast Castle, the commercial centre, the Volunteers were mainly men in the business houses, and their commanding officer was the head of one of these houses; while at Axim the machine-detachment was made up of men mainly engaged in mining, and of officials, and the commanding officer was an official.\n\nThe various drills and parades were fitted in with the normal work of the different detachments, and on the whole these detachments took firm root; and I was informed by the Brigadier-General who inspected them early this year that they were a valuable addition to the defence of the Colony.\n\nHere, after carefully considering the matter, I put in hand three schemes. The first of these was to reorganise the existing Volunteers on the basis of detachments comprising men of the same department or the same firm with a view to these men always working together in peace drills and on active service and of combining with other detachments or relieving other detachments in time of war, each detachment being told off to its definite position in the scheme of defence. I believe there are some difficulties in carrying out that arrangement, but I think it has been on the whole favourably reviewed, and that there has been some increase in the Volunteers since it was put forward.\n\nThe second project was the formation of the men who owned ponies, and who were in the habit of riding about the island, into a mounted troop. I was told that I could probably get 20 men to enrol themselves in such a troop. As a matter of fact, the troop which is now being enrolled consists of 25 members under Lieut. the Honourable W. J. GRESSON.\n\nThe third project was that of a Volunteer reserve, to get hold of the men who no longer felt themselves disposed to go through the drudgery of ordinary drill or who had gone through that drudgery already. I was told that I should probably get about 100 members. As a matter of fact, by the 15th September, the date mentioned in the original notification, only 32 members had enrolled.\n\nThere was a fourth project, not entirely unconnected with the others, and that was to form a first-aid class for ladies who would subsequently go through nursing classes and then register their names for service in the naval and military hospitals in time of war. Sixty-six ladies have put their names to it.\n\nA few words now on the general question of Volunteering, and especially of Colonial Volunteering. At home the ever-increasing burden of Imperial defence, which now absorbs 60 per cent. of the revenue derived from heavy taxation, the failure of various schemes of Army reorganisation to provide in the public opinion for the public needs in the matter of defence, and again the failure to attract men to the Army by various new inducements, have directed the minds of thinking men to the necessity of making more available the class from which the Volunteers in England now come, and the large class who have not yet recognised the obligation of preparing themselves for personal service for the defence of their country.\n\nIn the colonies this recognition of the obligation to prepare for personal service has always been more widespread than at home, and especially is that the case in colonies where there is only a small proportion of British residents living in the midst of a large number of fellow subjects of an alien race. Personally, I have long been of opinion that in such colonies it is the duty of every man to prepare himself so that he may be available to assist in the defence of the colony, of his own interests, and, should occasion arise, of the women and children who live around him.\n\nAs regards Hongkong, I am glad to say that I see no immediate prospect of the hour of need coming upon us, but in these days wars arise at short notice and their course is often largely affected by the initiatory action in them. Again, events occurring outside this colony and over which the colony has no control may produce unrest which might culminate in serious internal disturbance. Those who have taken no steps to prepare themselves for personal service in such eventualities would, I believe, have reason to reproach themselves if such events produced even only a temporary disaster.\n\nIt seems to me that personal service is a white man's burden and that we dare not stoop to less. Every form of service is a burden, but I do not think you will sympathise...\n\n3\n\n467\n\n!\n\n:",

        "content_text": "# Consul-Général Report\n\n## Compagnie Asiatique de Navigation Letter\n\n**Les Directeurs**\n\nDe plus, notre Compagnie n'est nullement subventionnée par le Gouvernement Français, ainsi que vous le savez, mais par le Gouvernement-Général de l'Indo-Chine; la subvention qu'elle touche est très faible si on la compare à celle que touche la Compagnie Japonaise, et elle peut être considérée comme une simple rémunération des charges onéreuses qu'elle entraîne et a entraînées : réduction de tarifs pour les fonctionnaires, obligation de construire les navires en France, &c., détails qui sont certainement inconnus à Mr. E. C. Werner.\n\nCe prétexte n'est donc pas défendable, et il faut arriver au second paragraphe que nous venons de citer et qui a, lui au moins, le mérite de la sincérité.\n\nIl est, croyons-nous, sans précédent qu'une Municipalité, voire même un Parlement, prenne des mesures aussi coercitives dirigées exclusivement contre une personne ou une Compagnie déterminée, et nous croyons pouvoir dire que l'exagération de la malveillance dont est animé, à l'égard de la Compagnie Asiatique de Navigation, le Consul d'Angleterre à Kiukiang, l'amène à provoquer ou à ratifier des décisions de son Conseil Municipal qui confinent au ridicule.\n\nEn d'autres pays Anglais où la concurrence entre Compagnies Anglaises et entre Compagnies Françaises subventionnées est non moins âpre qu'elle ne l'est dans le Yang-tsé, jamais une pareille mesure d'ostracisme n'a été, nous ne dirons pas \"prise,\" mais simplement \"conçue,\" par un fonctionnaire Britannique; et nous ne sachions pas que l'accostage des navires de la Compagnie des Messageries Maritimes, par exemple, ait été jamais interdit à Singapore ou dans tel autre port Anglais, bien que les intérêts en jeu soient infiniment plus importants qu'ils ne peuvent l'être à Kiukiang.\n\nDans la lettre que nous a adressée Mr. E. C. Werner il est dit que c'est \"en vue de mettre à exécution les désirs des contribuables que le Conseil Municipal, dont il est le Président, a rédigé une clause suivant laquelle les navires de notre Compagnie seraient absolument exclus.\" Nous sommes en mesure de démontrer qu'il n'en est rien.\n\nEn effet, dans le compte rendu de l'assemblée des contribuables de Kiukiang tenue le 30 Janvier, qui a été publié dans le \"Shanghae Mercury\" du 4 Février suivant, il est dit :-\n\n\"A cette réunion un total de vingt-huit votes était représentés, desquels le représentant de Robert Anderson and Company, Dr. F. S. D. Clindenning, en détenait quinze, les pouvoirs des Missions Catholiques et des maisons Russes étant en sa possession, comme d'habitude.\"\n\nNous avons donc écrit à M. Ferrand à Kiukiang pour le prier de nous faire connaître s'il connaissait l'emploi qui avait été fait par son fondé de pouvoirs des six voix appartenant à la Mission. M. Ferrand nous répondit à la date du 24 Février dernier, en nous communiquant une lettre de même date que venait de lui adresser Dr. Clindenning.\n\nNous détachons de cette lettre de Dr. Clindenning, dont l'original est toujours en notre possession, les passages suivants, et nous insistons sur ce point que l'écrivain de cette lettre, qui détenait quinze votes sur vingt-huit à l'assemblée des contribuables, représentait, à lui seul, la majorité.\n\nDr. Clindenning écrit donc que si le frontage en question a été alloué à la Compagnie Japonaise, c'est simplement parce que cette Compagnie était la seule à formuler une demande, et il ajoute :-\n\n(Traduction littérale) \"Si Mr. Racine avait fait une demande pour le droit exclusif au frontage, les six votes de la Mission auraient certainement été placés en sa faveur et, très probablement tous les autres votes, étant donné que beaucoup de nous ici préférerions voir flotter le pavillon Français devant notre Concession que pavillon Japonais.\"\n\nEt plus loin Dr. Clindenning ajoute :-\n\n\"La question de permettre aux différentes Compagnies de sous-louer leurs bulks a été définitivement réglée par le Consul, et non pas par les contribuables.\"\n\nIl nous reste à dire maintenant pourquoi nous continuons à accoster au hulk de la Compagnie Japonaise à Kiukiang, malgré l'avis qui nous a été donné par la dite Compagnie Japonaise le 7 Février d'avoir à ne plus accoster à partir du 10 Février, c'est-à-dire trois jours après.\n\nNous continuons à accoster parce que nous avons passé, avec la Compagnie Japonaise, un Accord, suivant lequel nous utiliserons en commun le hulk de Kiukiang pour les navires de nos deux Compagnies, et qu'il est expressément convenu que cet Accord ne peut être rompu que par un préavis de six mois.\n\nCet Accord a été passé sur l'autorisation qui en a été donnée à la Compagnie Japonaise par Mr. E. C. Werner lui-même, par sa lettre du 27 Août, 1906, lettre dont nous vous avons remis copie il y a quelques jours.\n\nSur la foi de notre Accord avec la Compagnie Japonaise, reconnu par le Consul Anglais à Kiukiang, nous avons pris des engagements multiples avec nos agents, avec des chargeurs, avec nos compradores de navires au sujet des passagers, &c.; et il nous est matériellement impossible, sous peine d'un préjudice incalculable, de ne pas tenir ces engagements. D'autre part, toute personne raisonnable comprendra qu'il n'est au pouvoir d'aucune Compagnie de navigation d'improviser en trois jours une installation complète comme celle qui est indispensable à ces bateaux de rivière pour le chargement et le déchargement des marchandises et des passagers à quai-toute autre solution entraînant un transbordement du navire à la rive étant ruineuse pour une Compagnie de navigation.\n\nMr. E. C. Werner nous a mis sciemment dans une situation impossible, il obéit simplement à des sentiments injustifiés d'inimitié pour notre Compagnie Française, et c'est tout. Nous n'attendons plus rien de lui, mais nous conservons confiance dans l'esprit d'équité de M. le Ministre d'Angleterre à Pékin que la mesure inique qui a été prise par son Consul ne soit pas ratifiée.\n\nNous vous serions reconnaissants, M. le Consul-Général, de vouloir bien saisir d'urgence M. le Ministre de France à Pékin de la situation présente de cette affaire, et avec tous nos remerciements anticipés, nous vous prions d'agréer, &c.\n\n**Compagnie Asiatique de Navigation,**\n\n(Signé) **Les Directeurs**\n\n## Inclosure 4 in No. 1\n\n### Consul Werner to Sir J. Jordan\n\n**(No. 7.)**\n\nSir,\n\nKiukiang, April 3, 1907.\n\nWITH reference to previous correspondence and to your telegram No. 6 of the 13th ultimo, I have the honour to report that the Municipal Council has now adopted the form of Bund frontage licence in use in Hankow, the only alterations being the insertion of some words prohibiting the placing of ropes, chains, or other impediments in such a manner as to obstruct the approach to the unleased portion of Bund frontage where the public steps and jetty are to be erected.\n\n| Details        | Description                                                                 |\n|---------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| Tonnage due   | half a candareen per ton on French steamers admitted to the Nippon Yusen Kaisha's hulk under the licence granted to that Company |\n| Revenue       | about 1,200 taels per annum                                                  |\n\nThe Council has decided to levy a tonnage due of half a candareen per ton on French steamers admitted to the Nippon Yusen Kaisha's hulk under the licence granted to that Company. This will produce an addition to the municipal revenue of about 1,200 taels per annum, but the Council, being in affluent circumstances, would have preferred any gain from the new system of licensing to accrue in favour of the British Steam-ship Companies in their keen competition with their foreign rivals. The subsidy granted to the French Company by the French Government enables that Company to carry passengers and cargo at a lower rate than the British Companies can do. A very effective check would have been put upon this subsidy-favoured competition by making the French steamers anchor in the river, since in a small port of call facility in boarding and loading a steamer which aims at travelling between Shanghae and Hankow in a shorter time than other steamers enables it to obtain passengers and cargo which would not be shipped by steamers having no hulk accommodation. Whilst the obligation to anchor in the river would have very largely counteracted the advantages which the Government subsidy gives to the French steamers, the additional advantage of access to the Japanese frontage now enables them to make a very serious inroad upon the freight and passenger business of the British Companies.\n\nOn the 1st ultimo I received from Messrs. Racine, Ackermann, and Co., agents in Shanghae of the \"Compagnie Asiatique de Navigation,\" a letter containing an offer to pay for use of the frontage a similar sum to that paid by the Nippon Yusen Kaisha.\n\nPage 236",

When we got to just over the bridge over the tram line, he asked me\n\nto go up the path to the R.A. Mess buildings, saying that it was\n\nalso my beat. He went up the path at the side of the tram line\n\nabout 20 steps. I walked along on Macdonnell Road, and he,\n\n880-\n\n-ing that I did not follow him, came down again and walked\n\nahead of me, into the Public Garden gate off Garden Road, to\n\nthe Nursery, where he made signs with his hand and motioned\n\nwith his head for me to come in there. I shook my head and\n\nwalked on down towards Kennedy Road, He went through the garden\n\nand came out at the gate near the Kennedy Road. I had almost\n\nreached Kennedy Road. He came up to me and asked me what I\n\nintended to do. I said it would not do in the daytime. He then\n\nsuggested the night time, and I said the night time would be\n\nbetter. I did that to get rid of him. He then asked me at what\n\ntime I would be for duty, and I told him 10 o'clock, No. 4\n\nSection, No. 12 and 13 beats, the same as he had seen me on\n\nthe previous night. Then he left, going down by the tram\n\nstation. When I came off duty at 10 o'clock, I reported the\n\nmatter to the Deputy Superintendent. He referred me to the\n\nC. D. I. I saw the latter at about 12.15 p.m., and he arranged\n\nwith me what to do. I saw the C.D.I. when going on duty at 10\n\np.m. and carried out his instructions. I went on No. 4 Section,\n\nNo. 12 and 13 beats. I was in Hollywood Road, working my beats\n\nby the left, and met Jemadar Gulab near Peel Street, as I was\n\ngoing towards Graham Street. He stopped and so did I. He did\n\nnot ask me allright about my beats, but at once said: What\n\nabout it now. I put him off by saying that it was too soon,\n\nbetter make it 12 o'clock. He said: Best go to Ezra Lane. I\n\nsaid it is too well lighted, and plenty of people go in and\n\nout there. He then said: Where then ? I said: Come to me at\n\n11.45, and I will arrange a place. He then went away westward,\n\nand I went eastward on my beat. At about 11.30 p.m. I met\n\nP.S. Terrett and P.S. Murison in Lyndhurst Terrace near Tun Wo\n\nLane,",

        "content_text": "# C.O.\n\n**CONFIDENTIAL**\n\nNo. 1.\n\n## SECTION 1.\n\n(No. 624.) Sir,\n\nSir A. Nicolson to Sir Edward Grey~(Received December 6.)\n\nSt. Petersburgh, November 26, 1909.\n\nI called on M. Kokowtsoff yesterday, as he had returned from the Far East a few days previously. After having given me an account of the assassination of Prince Ito, he was good enough to impart to me the general impressions which he had gathered from his visits to Harbin and Vladivostock. He said that during the war an artificial stimulus had been given to Harbin, which had been flooded with speculators and contractors of all kinds. Flour mills had been erected with feverish haste, and, as everyone expected that the war would continue for a year or a year and a-half longer than was the case, there arose a keen desire to make fortunes rapidly, with a complete disregard of prudential business considerations. The results were that on the conclusion of the war a collapse occurred and many were ruined. During the last year or two Harbin was recovering, and there were evident signs that before long it would enter on a path of comparative prosperity. He had been much struck with the energy and confidence which animated the Russian colony there, and he had been surprised to find a town so well equipped and so prosperous in a locality which but a few years ago had been an uninhabited district. The town had been created solely by Russian capital and Russian enterprise, and he was surprised and pained that foreign Powers, by what he could but term their unjust protests, were raising difficulties in the way of the development of the place.\n\nThe question of municipal administration was one which naturally preoccupied the Russian residents, who had complained bitterly to him that foreigners declined to pay rates and taxes, and threw all the burden on the Russians and Chinese, while benefiting from the conveniences which the municipality afforded to them. This was a question on which he would like to speak to me more fully on his return from Livadia, whither he is proceeding to-morrow to make his report to the Emperor.\n\nHe was highly satisfied with the railway administration, though he recognised that the railway rates were high. This was inevitable, as the up-keep of the line was an expensive undertaking in those distant regions.\n\nHe had been assured by all those whom he had seen both at Harbin and at Vladivostock that a great deterrent to more active development of commerce and industry was the want of confidence which was felt in the immediate future. He had been surprised to find universally a great anxiety as to the intentions of Japan, and there was a general feeling that Japan was making active preparations for a fresh war. Her railway construction and other measures were, in the opinion of all whom he had met, evident proofs that she was employing all her energies for a fresh campaign, and until they could rest assured that Japan had no hostile intentions merchants and others hesitated to embark capital in new enterprises. He had done his best to reassure his compatriots, but he doubted if he had met with much success.\n\nHe himself did not believe that Japan could be so foolish as to be meditating a fresh war with Russia. Even in the most favourable circumstances she could not gain anything by a war, and she had not the means to incur the huge expense which a fresh campaign would entail. Even supposing that she was able to capture Vladivostock, he did not see that this would be a gain commensurate with the risks and the sacrifices, as that port, though of great importance to Russia, would be of little advantage to Japan. The most successful war would never bring a rouble into the Japanese exchequer, as whatever might occur Russia would never pay an indemnity, and he could not conceive that Japan would wish to incur the undying enmity of an Empire of 150,000,000 inhabitants. He therefore excluded the idea of a war, and his explanation of all that Japan was doing was that she would entirely incorporate Corea within her dominions, and at a favourable opportunity annex the whole of Southern Manchuria. His prognostic might be wrong; he was not a diplomatist, and had no great intimacy with matters of foreign policy; but after mature reflection, the conclusion which he had reached seemed to him to be the most probable.\n\nPage 310\nPage 311",

Some considerable delay in concluding the enquiry was occasioned firstly by it being found impossible for all the members of your Committee to sit de die in diem owing to the necessity of other official work; secondly by Alim Khan's indisposition, and thirdly owing to the length of time taken by Alim Khan in which to prepare a written statement in his defence which he desired to lay before your Committee.\n\nIt will be observed that this Report is signed by only two members of your Committee namely, The Chairman (The Honourable Mr. J.A.S.

It will be observed that in the form of the charges as contained in the letter of the Colonial Secretary to Alim Khan of 31st October, 1913, paragraphs 1 and 2 of that letter contain accusations against this officer of having improperly received and retained certain sums of money being fees payable to Government in respect of an Estate of one Cordeiro, deceased; and further that paragraphs 3 and 4 of the letter charge the officer with having on different dates improperly received and retained certain other sums of money, also fees payable to Government, in respect of the estates of five other different deceased persons. Paragraphs 5, 6, and 7 of the letter deal with a third charge which is relative to the improper retention of certain moneys which should have been remitted to India in connection with the Estate of a deceased Indian who died\n\nin the Colony and to whose relatives such money was payable. Although the first case, namely that of Cordeiro, forms the subject of a charge separate from those which refer to the five cases dealt with in the 3rd and 4th paragraphs of the letter, your Committee is of the opinion that, although they may all present individually slightly different features, it is desirable that they should be grouped together and dealt with substantially as one charge; and that the case of the Indian remittance should be dealt with altogether separately. It is on this basis that the report of your Committee proceeds, and in dealing with the charges your Committee proposes to divide them into two heads designated as follows:-\n\nThe charges relating to the retention of Probate fees.\n\nThe charge relating to the Indian remittance.\n\n4.\n\nB.\n\n7.\n\nWith regard to \"A\", charges relating to Probate fees.\n\n(a).

In some of these cases the fees were overdue; in others they had not yet accrued to Government; but it was ascertained partially from enquiry and partially from Mr. Alim Khan's own voluntary statements that he had in fact received the first group of monies which form the subject matter of this charge.\n\nMr. Alim Khan never attempted to deny that he did in fact receive these moneys but on the contrary has always frankly and openly avowed that he did so; asserting that it was part of his recognised duty and his habitual practice to receive these fees in this class of case and explaining his not having accounted for the amounts in question in one or two cases in which they undoubtedly had accrued to the Government as due to his own oversight. All the amounts were eventually duly paid up by Mr. Alim Khan, some on his own initiative and some when he was brought before the Magistrate on a criminal charge.

These fees are not all payable simultaneously: some, trifling amounts, being due immediately the papers are lodged; others being payable synchronously with the issue of the letters of administration; some, such as the stamp fee payable on the swearing of an affidavit, are fixed fees; whilst others vary with the amount of the estate being proportionate to its value; if the value of the estate is accurately known, the total amount of the fees which are destined to become due in connection with the taking out by an applicant of letters of administration can be accurately estimated in advance. In these pauper cases it was Mr. Alim Khan's practice, after having obtained the necessary instructions from his superior officer, to prepare the requisite documents for the applicant in the office; to estimate the total amount of the fees payable by the applicant in connection with the matter and to receive from the applicant the whole of this amount, whatever it was; he then was in the habit of retaining these sums until they were actually required to be paid out, purchasing and affixing the necessary stamps and making the other payments as they respectively fell due.

The fact that the Hoshiarpur Commissioner's Rupee figure did not represent the full sum which ought to have been transmitted, appears to have been noticed by Mr. Muhamed Akbar, who had replaced Mr. Alim Khan in the Supreme Court Registry and who had, prior to Mr. Alim Khan's transfer, been employed in the Money Order department of the Post Office. To complete the preliminary bare outline of this story, it must be mentioned that in September, 1913, the sum of $113.93 was sent by Money Order to the Deputy Commissioner Hoshiarpur in the name of the official Administrator Hongkong under circumstances which will be dealt with later in this report. It will also here be observed that this second transmission completes the total sum of $213.93 due to the relatives of the deceased Gahnaya Singh. The question into which of course it became necessary for your Committee to enquire was as to the way in which the transmission of this money was effected in this extraordinary manner.\n\n(b). In order to examine the position properly, it is necessary to consider the facts as to which there is no point at issue. However unsatisfactory the process may have been the fact is clear that it was customary in the Supreme Court Registry to hand over to Mr. Alim Khan money for transmission to India in cases of this nature. If, as would normally be the case, the money to be transmitted reached the Registry in the shape of a cheque from the Treasury, such cheque used, as in this case, to be endorsed by the Payee, the Official Administrator, and having reached Mr. Alim Khan's hands, he (Mr. Alim Khan) would encash it at the Bank; would proceed to the Post Office, make a written application for a Money Order and receive a receipt which he would file in the office in the dossier of papers relating to the matter in question.

        "content_text": "Khawas Khan, the Money Order clerk at Kowloon Post Office states that on the 10th September, 1913, an Indian, whom he does not know and cannot recognize, came to the Kowloon Office where he (Khawas Khan) was Money Order clerk and made application for a Money Order for transmission to the Deputy Commissioner of the Hoshiarpur District of the sum of £113.93; and that he accepted the application.\n\nIn support of the statement of Muhamed Akbar, Mr. Dixon the Superintendent of the Money Order Office, produced before your Committee the whole of the foreign applications for Money Orders presented for transmission abroad from the 13th to the 24th June, 1913, and amongst them dated with the office date stamp of the 14th June appears an application, marked Blue \"E\" amongst the Exhibits, made at the Hongkong Post Office which is admitted by Mr. Alim Khan to be in his own handwriting for the transmission of $100 to the Deputy Commissioner of the Hoshiarpur District the transmitter's name being given as the Official Administrator, Hongkong.\n\nMr. Dixon also states that there is no other record of any transmission to Hoshiarpur by Money Order between January, 1913, and 14th June, 1913, the date of this application.\n\nIn support of Mr. Khawas Khan's statement Mr. Dixon also produced, similarly, a Money Order application, marked Blue \"I\" amongst the Exhibits, dated with the office date stamp of the 10th September, 1913, made at the Kowloon Branch of the Post Office for the transmission to the Deputy Commissioner, Hoshiarpur District of the sum of $113.93 the transmitter's name being given as the Official Administrator Hongkong but the application in this case being typewritten.\n\nIn both these cases the application forms are duly numbered in consecutive enumeration in their respective bundles, and, so far as can be judged from their external appearance, there is nothing to show\n\nPage 83",

It should here be mentioned that Muhamed Akbar states that he only asked applicants to split applications for Money Orders when the total amount required to be transmitted was in excess of the amount which, by the Post Office Regulations, can be transmitted on a single Order, and in this case the amount was not of such excess. It should also be noted that Mr. Dixon, when his attention was drawn to the acceptance by Khawas Khan of an application for a Money Order at the Kowloon Branch in the name of the Official Administrator, informed him (Mr. Khawas Khan) that he should not have accepted such an application from an unknown applicant, and requested Mr. Khawas Khan to ascertain, if possible, who had sent it; Mr. Khawas Khan informed your Committee that when the unknown Indian brought the application to the office, he, Mr. Khawas Khan, asked the Indian who had sent the Money Order, and the Indian replied, \"Baboo Alim Khan\", and Mr. Khawas Khan further states that, after having been told by Mr. Dixon to try and ascertain who had transmitted the money, he, Mr. Khawas Khan, went the next morning to Mr. Alim Khan's house and there informed Mr. Alim Khan of what had taken place, but that Mr. Alim Khan denied entirely any knowledge of the matter. Mr. Alim Khan admits that this interview took place, but states now, as he did before to Mr. Khawas Khan, that he knew nothing of what had taken place. The two receipts alleged by Mr. Alim Khan to have been received by him in April from Muhamed Akbar and to have been placed by him in the dossier of the papers of the estate are not forthcoming.\n\n(c). The previous paragraphs give the two different accounts of what took place, and it is necessary, as these accounts are totally conflicting, to weigh very carefully the probabilities of the truth of both.

June of that year on which date he sent $100, and that, sub-\nsequently he employed an agent for the purpose of trans-\nmitting by a typewritten application of the 10th. September, 1913, the remainder of the sum, namely $113.93, the transmission being, for purposes of concealment, effected by his nominee at the Kowloon office. Mr. Alim \nKhan however in his defence sets up a very elaborate hypothesis, the suggestions of which may be summarised \nas follows:-\n\nHe thinks that he has been the victim of a \nbase conspiracy; that Muhamed Akbar and Khawas Khan are both enemies of his; that the former was and had been for a long time anxious to obtain his (Alim Khan's) position in the Registry and that both were ready and willing, if possible, to ruin him; that when he, Alim Khan, in April, 1913, went to the Post Office with the cash in order to purchase the Money Order for transmission of the $213.93 to India, Muhamed Akbar gave him two spurious receipts; that on June 14th., 1913, Muhamed Akbar falsely stamped with the official date",

The slightest reflection would, it seems to your Committee, have shown Muhamed Akbar that his scheme was attended with great personal risk for he would realize that, within a reasonable time, the letter sent by the Official Administrator to the Commissioner Hoshiarpur District advising the latter of the despatch of the money to him, must be, if that money did not reach him, productive of an answer from him to the effect that no money had been received and that, upon receipt by the Official Administrator of such a letter, enquiry would be at once made as to the apparent non-transmission of the money in question, when Mr. Alim Khan being able to produce the receipts signed or initial-led by himself (Muhamed Akbar) which would be without much difficulty traced back to him he (Akbar) would, if they were spurious, find himself hoisted with his own petard.\n\nYour Committee is not prepared to assert that it would have been absolutely impossible for Muhamed Akbar to have obtained unused receipts although Mr. Dixon states that none of these forms (which are consecutively audit-numbered) are missing and it is, of course, conceivable that such receipts could be forged, not however without fear of subsequent detection when the audit numbers were compared; but both these ideas your Committee is disposed to brush aside as not within the range of reasonable possibility.\n\nWith\n\nPage 180\n\nPage 181",

June, 1913, and to disregard Mr. Alim Khan's hypothesis.\n\nWith regard to the transmission in September from the Kowloon Office of the remaining portion of the money, although your Committee thinks that Mr. Khawas Khan may have been actuated in part of his evidence and in his subsequent enquiries by unfriendly motives towards Mr. Alim Khan, your Committee is of the opinion that substantially Khawas Khan's account so far as it relates to the presentation to him of the typewritten application, is true.\n\n(e). The conclusions to which your Committee has come to after careful consideration, on charge \"B\" is that Mr. Alim Khan having received the sum of $213.93 retained the whole of it until June 14, 1913, when he sent $100 of the amount to the District Commissioner Hoshiarpur: and that he subsequently, on September 10th., 1913, despatched the remainder through a person whose actions were controlled by himself. As to whether or not he had at any time serious intention of permanently converting all or any part of this money to his own use, your Committee thinks it is perhaps undesirable to express any view.",

It appears to your Committee that the circumstances of the case can best be set forth in a report of this character in substantially general terms.\n\n10.\n\nYour Committee would like to add that Mr. Alim Khan is undoubtedly an extremely capable and clever man; that his superior officers all speak in high terms of his industry and capabilities, and that his dereliction from duty appears to have been largely brought about by the lack of control which was exercised over him. It may also be noted, here, that suggestions were made from time to time during the course of the enquiry that Mr. Alim Khan's financial position was at all material times extremely precarious. Your Committee does not think that there is any satisfactory evidence to show that this was necessarily the case; were it so, however, it would only supply a motive for a course of conduct upon which, without such motive, your Committee already considers there is ample ground for framing its opinion.\n\n11.\n\nSummarising the conclusions to which your Committee has come, your Committee considers:-\n\n(1). that Mr. Alim Khan did engage in the practice of receiving monies in advance from applicants for Letters of Administration in poor cases; that he had no definite authority to do so although it is possible, that he may have thought himself justified in his practice; that although his practice of receiving fees in advance may have been known by some of his superior officers, they did not know that he received the total amount of the fees payable in advance, but were under the impression that he only received such fees as they actually accrued and that he forthwith duly accounted for them.\n\n(2). that insufficient supervision and control was exercised in the Registry over Mr. Alim Khan's operations and duties; in which indeed he was given too much latitude.\n\n(3). that the financial instructions were not strictly followed.",

Action 372 of 1913 contains an exhibit in the form of a letter from Alim Khan, dated the late November, 1912, in which he admits an indebtedness to one Mota Singh in the sum of $635, on two promissory notes. He asks that legal proceedings may not be brought against him. The promissory notes are both dated the 13th April, 1911.\n\nS.J. Action 372 of 1913, Mota Singh v. Alim Khan. On the 20th March, 1913, Judgment was given by consent for the plaintiff in the sum of $750 and costs. This sum is that contained in the two promissory notes, with interest added.\n\nThere is in the file a statement of Alim Khan's monthly expenses and of his salary. The money is being paid at the rate of $15 monthly.\n\nS. J. Action 1011 of 1913, Chet Singh v. Alim Khan. On the 5th August, 1913, Judgment was given for the plaintiff in the sum of $300, to be paid by instalments of $10 monthly. The claim was in respect of cows sold under a promissory note dated the 17th November, 1911.\n\nS. J. Action 1306 of 1913. The Shun Cheung Firm v. Alim Khan. On the 7th September, 1913, Judgment was given for the plaintiffs, by consent, in the sum of $312.30 and costs, in respect of goods sold and delivered.\n\nOn the 18th July, 1913, Alim Khan, as executor of his late father-in-law, gave a bill of sale to one Sham Dass to secure the sum of $700.\n\n4.\n\nIt is urged by Alim Khan that these financial difficulties, with which he was confronted by the Committee, concerned him solely in his position of executor, but this argument is untenable. He raised no such defence when sued in the Summary Court, and the obvious conclusion is that, in so far as the debts concerned the Dairy Farm, he identified himself with the business and incurred personal liability to keep it going.\n\n5.\n\nIt seems then to have been undoubtedly the case that towards the close of the year 1912 Alim Khan was in serious",

It is admitted by Alim Khan that certain money was paid to him, in respect of the fees in this matter, by a Mr. Noronha, and that he retained part of the money after the issue of Letters of Administration. It is admitted by the Registrar that Letters of Administration should not have been issued before the total fees were accounted for, but that in fact they had been issued by an oversight before the proper fees were received; and Alim Khan explained his retention of the money as an oversight. Mr. Noronha gave evidence to the effect that in or about the month of March, 1913, he paid to Alim Khan, at Alim Khan's request, a sum of some $870 in respect of fees, receiving no receipt; that he frequently applied to Alim Khan for the issue of Letters of Administration and that he was on each occasion put off by one excuse or another; that towards the end of June Letters of Administration were issued; that in July Alim Khan called at his office, informed him that the Government were examining his (Alim Khan's) books and papers, and asked him, if the Registrar should enquire, to say that he had paid no fees and to pay them de novo, in which event Alim Khan would pay the money back. Alim Khan at the same time stated that if anything were discovered against him he might be dismissed. It may be mentioned that Mr. Noronha has been for some time past in charge of the Government printing, that he has been entrusted with various confidential matters, and that he has always been found capable, trustworthy, and conscientious. I see no reason to doubt any part of his evidence.\n\n7.\n\nThe second charge is concerned with the retention of money in connection with five separate estates. The retention is admitted. It is pleaded that the Registrar was well aware that Alim Khan was in the habit of receiving fees in advance, and that, as the estates were not wound up when Alim Khan left the Registry at the end of June, the money was not at that date owing to the Government.\n\n8.\n\nThese two charges may be considered together.

        "content_text": "that Alim Khan was receiving fees in advance is denied by these officers, and it is altogether negatived, firstly by the very definitely worded circular of the 14th November, 1912, secondly by the action of the Registrar in taking immediate criminal proceedings in the Police Court as soon as he found that Alim Khan the fees had been so received and had been retained.\n\nAlim Khan accounts for the Circular as follows:- He was frequently asked by members of the public to receive fees and, in order to protect himself, he asked the Registrar to draw up an order prohibiting clerks from receiving fees, which order he could, when necessary, produce to the public. This explanation is denied by Mr. Nisbet and by myself, and I have explained above in what circumstances the Circular was issued.\n\nI am satisfied that Alim Khan was well aware, especially after his interview with me, that he had no right to receive and retain money, which it was intended to apply in payment of fees, and I am satisfied that he was well aware that his superior officers did not know that he was doing so. It is probable that he did not definitely intend fraudulently to convert the money to his own use; the risk of detection was too great; owing to his financial straits he had urgent need of the money, and I am of the opinion that he deliberately delayed the grants Letters of Administration because he could not afford to disburse the sums required for fees.\n\nIt will be sufficient to quote one case in this connection. On the 17th September, 1912, I, as Deputy Registrar, passed the papers in Lei Ah Shun deceased subject to the provision of sureties in the sum of $600, being twice the value of the estate. This was a matter of routine which it was Alim Khan's duty to keep in view. On the 23rd December, 1912, after I had left the Registry, he drafted a minute enquiring the Land Officer whether two sureties needed were valid, and I... signed it. On the following day the Land Officer replied; they were not registered as owners of property. It was then Khan's duty to bring the matter to the attention of the Deputy Registrar.",

In the case of Cordeiro deceased the Letters of Administration were issued through an oversight without payment of all the fees, and I am of the opinion, in view of the interview with Mr. Noronha, that Alim Khan had intended to take advantage of this oversight to keep the balance of the fees.\n\n10.\n\nI am satisfied generally that, if Alim Khan really thought that he was acting properly and with the knowledge of his superiors in receiving fees in advance, he would, on transfer from the Registry, forthwith have handed over the money held, and would not have waited to repay it until he was advised to do so by his legal adviser when criminal proceedings were in actual process against him. My opinion is strengthened by Alim Khan's admission to the Committee that in one case at least after his transfer he had personally repaid to the payer money received in respect of fees. If he had in fact thought that the money had been properly paid it would have been his obvious duty to hand it over to the Registrar.\n\n11.\n\nThe third charge is in connection with the matter of the estate of Gahnaya Singh deceased. Letters of Administration of this estate were, on the 15th February, 1913, granted to the Official Administrator who realised a total credit balance of £213.93. The next-of-kin was the widow, residing in India in the Hoshiarpur District, and on the 17th April, 1913, Alim Khan drafted a letter to the Deputy Commissioner of that district in the following terms:- \"I beg to enclose my administration account of the above-named deceased showing a credit balance of £213.93, local currency, the equivalent of which has been remitted to you through the Money Order Office of this Colony\". It was pointed out by the Committee to Alim Khan that it was to be expected that in a letter of this nature the amount in rupees would be stated, whereupon Alim Khan replied that the letter was in stereotyped form.

Alim Khan states that on the 17th April he took the money in notes to the Money Order Office and there applied for a Money Order to a clerk named Muhammed Akbar. He made out an application form, but Muhammed Akbar asked him to make out two forms, one in a sum of $100 and one in a sum of $113.93, and he accordingly did so, altering the first form from $213.93 to $100.93, and making out a fresh form for $100. Muhammed Akbar had on a former occasion asked him to make out two forms, but he could not remember when that occurred. Muhammed Akbar gave him two receipts which he put with the papers in his office.\n\n12. In a letter dated the 31st July, 1913, the Deputy Commissioner wrote as follows:- \"I have the honour to forward herewith a receipt for Rs. 145 6 0 or $213.93\"; and on the receipt was written \"Receipt of Bust. Genl. for Rs. 145.6.0 equivalent to $213.93\". On receipt of this letter a disparity between the sums in dollars and rupees was noticed and enquiry was set on foot. It was then discovered that on the 14th June a Money Order for Rs. 145.6.0 representing $100, had been sent to the Deputy Commissioner. An application, admittedly in Alim Khan's handwriting, bearing the Post Office Stamp of the 14th June, was in its proper place in the file, and the counter-foil of the receipt was in its proper place in the receipt book.\n\n13. On the 10th September an Indian, whose identity is unknown to the Committee, applied at the Kowloon Post Office for a Money Order for the sum of $113.93, payable to the Deputy Commissioner at Hoshiarpur, and the Order was duly sent.

In a letter dated the 15th October, 1913, the Deputy Commissioner acknowledged the receipt of a confidential letter of enquiry from the Registrar and stated that he had received the sum of Rs. 165 by Money Order but had not received any further letter in connection therewith.\n\n14.\n\nAlim Khan, when confronted with these admitted facts, gave the following explanation. Muhammed Akbar was notoriously an enemy of his, prepared to go to any length to compass his ruin. Then Alim Khan came, on the 17th April, to the Money Order Office, Muhammed Akbar on the spur of the moment devised an elaborate plot. He was admittedly standing at the counter, with the shroffs in close proximity, but by some means he managed to take and retain Alim Khan's money unnoticed. He asked that two application forms should be made out, and, while Alim Khan left the office for a few minutes to speak to another clerk, he prepared two forged receipt forms which he handed to Alim Khan. The application forms he retained in his personal possession instead of filing them. By the 14th June Muhammed Akbar was aware that it was the intention of the Government to transfer him to the Supreme Court in the place of Alim Khan, and on that date he stamped with the date stamp of the 14th June Alim Khan's original application for $100, and sent the equivalent to India, filling in and retaining a receipt in the name of the Official Administrator.\n\nAlim Khan's statement in this connection is difficult to follow - there is a suggestion that Muhammed Akbar stamped the date on the application on the 17th April, changing the die to the 14th June and Muhammed Akbar's suggested subsequent intention is not clear. It seems however that, according to Alim Khan, Muhammed Akbar sent the money on the 14th June, because on that date he realised he would shortly be in the Registry and so would be able to recover and to destroy the forged receipts which were filed there. He foresaw that it would before long be discovered that the No. O sent was not the equivalent of £213.93, whereupon Alim Khan would...\n\nPage 188\n\n \n\nwas replaced with proper paragraph closing and opening tags, and minor corrections were made to the text, such as correcting \"eceipt\" to \"receipt\", \"adınitted\" to \"admitted\", \"clork\" to \"clerk\", \"Kuan\" to \"Khan\", \"Muhamed\" to \"Muhammed\", \"staped\" to \"stamped\", \"ña.\" to \"No.\", \"Loney\" to \"Money\", \"some\" to \"some\", \"con.ection\" to \"connection\", \"there-with\" to \"therewith\".

Luhumed Akbar and Khawas Khan, the clerk in charge at the Kowloon Post Office, also an enemy of Alim Khan, later conceived together the idea of sending the balance of $113.93 to India. They foresaw that no one would suspect anyone but Alim Khan of having sent the money, and so the fact of its being sent would be regarded as conclusive proof of Alim Khan's guilt. (It will be seen from the evidence and from Alim Khan's statement that his actual explanation is altogether confused and incoherent, but an attempt has been made in the foregoing paragraph to set out in as logical a sequence as possible the ideas which were apparently at the back of the tortuous working of his mind.)\n\n15.\n\nThere would seem to be no point in Alim Khan's story which is worthy of serious consideration. Even if Luhamed Akbar had been sufficiently quick-witted to work out so elaborate a plot on such short notice, the plot was in its very essence one in which Muhamed Akbar ran all the risk and Alim Khan was absolutely safeguarded. Muhamed Akbar would know that the letter of advice would go forward, that in due course the non-receipt of the money would be reported, that Alim Khan would then produce the forged receipts in the handwriting and bearing the signature of Muhamed Akbar. Muhamed Akbar could not possibly have guessed on 17th April that he was to be transferred to the Registry on the 1st July, as the transfer was first suggested by myself, as Chairman of the Subordinate Staff Board, at a considerably later date. Further, there is no possible reason why Muhamed Akbar should have asked for two application forms. He explained that he never asked for two such forms except when the sum to be transmitted was greater than that allowed under one Money Order, which was not the case in the present instance; and the making out of two forms involved entirely unnecessary clerical labour in a busy office. The suggestion of the forged receipts may also be dismissed.\n\nThe",

The issued receipts are audit-numbered and it is most improbable that other receipts had been manufactured and were ready to hand at such short notice. The story as to the transmission of the sum of $113.93 is singularly unconvincing. If a plot existed, L-8 alleged, its object would have already been achieved when Alim Khan already stood convicted of having sent $100 only, and the two clerks would hardly have produced the sum in question out of their own pockets in order to enable Alim Khan to mitigate his offence to the extent of being able to show that he had made tardy reparation by paying over all the money due.\n\nThe case seems to me to be abundantly clear. Alim Khan was very hard pressed for money; he himself suggested that one witness was aware that an Indian was threatening him with arrest for debt and a considerable sum of money came into his hands. He at once made use of it for his own purposes, hoping perhaps to be able eventually to replace it. He foresaw that a letter must go to India and that accordingly he must send money. He drafted that letter with great clever care, anticipating that the Deputy Commissioner would know nothing of Hongkong exchange; and his anticipation was entirely justified by the event, as the Deputy Commissioner did in fact acknowledge the receipt of Rs. 145-5-0 being the equivalent of $213.93. It is possible that, as the days went by and the sending of any money remained a matter of the greatest difficulty, he conceived the idea that he would be able to intercept a letter from the Deputy Commissioner reporting the non-receipt of the money, and could then consider his further action. Be this as it may, he had reckoned without one all-important factor, namely his transfer from the Registry. He in all probability heard rumours of this early in June. He then realised that it had become imperative to send some money, and he bought the Money Order of the 14th June. His anticipation that the Deputy Commissioner would not understand the exchange rate was realized, but he heard that the Registry had discovered the discrepancy.",

        "content_text": "Evidence of Hugh Adair Nisbet, duly sworn, 27th November, 1913.\n\nI am Registrar of the Supreme Court and have been so since August, 1911.\n\nDuring that period there have been various Deputy or Assistant Registrars, namely Messrs. Lee-Jones, Helbourne, Fletcher, McElderry, and Mr. Lloyd (since June 30th, 1913).\n\nMessrs. Lee-Jones and Helbourne are the permanent Deputy Registrars.\n\nAlim Khan was in my office when I arrived and remained there till June 30th, 1913, when he was transferred to the Post Office. Amongst my duties is the administration of the Estate of deceased persons.\n\nAlim Khan's duties were those of General Clerk and the Chief Probate Clerk and in a trusted position; he was a 3rd grade clerk; he also acted in the Courts as Indian interpreter.\n\nThere have been irregularities in Alim Khan's work: on the 2nd July, 1913, I found a locked drawer in his desk and on sending for him, he opened it and in it, I found 3 Probate files, one of which was that of D. A. Cordeiro deceased: they appeared to be in order.\n\nThat evening, I received a note from Alim Khan (Exhibit 'A'). The next morning, he brought round $11.20 in stamps. This all made me suspicious, and I began to make an investigation of the Probate files.\n\nDuring my investigations, Mr. Razack handed me another letter (Exhibit 'B') from Alim Khan dated 7th July, 1913.\n\nOn the 10th or 11th, I sent for Alim Khan and mentioned to him Razack's case, and those of Nam Ly Singh (deceased) and Chan Mow Yin (deceased). The latter two appeared to be cases in which money had been paid and not accounted for.\n\nAlim Khan said that in Nam Ly Singh's case, he had had $13.20, and in Chan Mow Yin's case, $4.80, and that he would send the money.\n\nHe sent it under cover of a letter of 12th July, 1913 (Exhibit 'C').\n\nOn 15th July, I saw him again.

        "content_text": "I discovered about the cases of Li Ah Shau (deceased) and Shek Fuk (deceased). In the case of Li Ah Shau he had apparently received $14.80 and had retained $88.80 and in the latter he had received £11.50 and still had it. I did not mention these to him as Police Court proceedings were taken in respect of them.\n\nOn the 9th August (i.e. after the warrant had been issued) I received a letter from Alim Khan (copy marked 'D'). The original of this letter I have not got. (Witness Alim Khan here says he does not dispute the letter).\n\nThe practice in my Department with regard to the administration of estates of deceased persons when the matter is not handled by Solicitors is as follows:-\n\nA man comes to my office and sees a clerk; generally it would have been Alim Khan if he was not interpreting. The man comes for information as to what he is to do to get the deceased's money.\n\nThe clerk tells him that he must take out letters of administration or probate and if it was a small estate, say under $500 or $800, the clerk would prepare the necessary papers and rightly so.\n\nThe clerk has a wide power in fact but ought to deal with every applicant either by preparing the papers or referring the matter to the Registrar or a deputy.\n\nThe whole matter could not be concluded up to the grant of probate or letters of administration for some time; it might take a week or months: it often gets delayed through various causes unconnected with or connected with the Registry, e.g. the applicant not being able to find sureties.\n\nIn all cases above $250, 3 sets of fees are payable by the grantee; one the Probate jurisdiction fees, (or filing fee), Court fees and the 3rd is Estate duty (or Probate duty).\n\nEstate duty must be paid at the Treasury by impressed stamps and the papers produced before the Registrar with the stamps for the Court fees before the Probate or Letters of Administration should be granted. The filing fee is payable when the papers are filed.",

Noronha's evidence was here interposed and after his evidence had been taken the Committee rose and adjourned till 28th instant at 11 a.m. owing to the Treasurer having urgent business at the Treasury).\n\n2nd witness.\n\n2.\n\nEdward Joseph Noronha; affirmed.\n\nI am managing the Government Printing and have been so for 8 years. I am brother of Mrs. C. M. Cordeiro; Mr. Cordeiro died recently: he left no will and I wanted to take out letters of administration for my sister: she was petitioner and I guaranteed her.\n\nIn February, 1913, I went to the Supreme Court Registry and saw Mr. Alim Khan and I asked him if he had the usual forms of application for taking out letters of administration. He took me to see Mr. McElderry and the latter informed Mr. Alim Khan that he could prepare the forms if he wanted to. Two or three weeks afterwards Mr. Khan communicated with me and asked me to go with my sister to swear the necessary affidavits: we went: we appeared before Mr. McElderry and signed and swore the papers. About March, Mr. Khan again communicated with me by telephone, I think, asking us to appear at the Registry to sign some further papers and pay the fees, mentioning the amount of $867 or $866; we went and I signed a bond and my sister paid the fees, namely $870, and he gave us some change: I got no receipt. I did not think he was a shroff, but I thought he was the proper officer to receive the money. He said the total amount you will have to pay is so much (he jotted it down and added it up). He wrote afterwards and telephoned once or twice as a result of one enquiry of mine, saying that the documents would be ready shortly: that the Chief Justice was very busy on one occasion; I did not think the excuses were altogether unreasonable, but I thought that there was a lot of delay; he said he would surely let me have the papers in the beginning of June, but when that time came, he wrote to me saying he regretted the delay.\n\nPage 195",

You may have said \"I foolishly have overlooked to pay the Court fees in your case: I don't know how to help myself out of it*. I did not then say \"I cannot help you\". I did not assume that you asked for my help when you said you could not help yourself. You did not ask my\n\n\"help\" in express words: you did not use the word \"help\". You did\n\nask me to pay something: I may have advised you to tell frankly the Registrar that you had through your oversight failed to pay\n\nthe Court fees. You agreed with my advice: but before leaving my\n\noffice you did ask me to pay the fees over again.\n\nI did not know anything about your financial position: I\n\nshould think you could have found $11.20.\n\nI first saw you and you took me to Mr. McElderry: Mr. McElderry did not, I think, suggest my going to a Solicitor because\n\nI ...",

I could not say if, if I had enquired, you would have told me what you did; but I think you probably would have.\n\nIf I had known that your procedure involved the receipt by you of money on behalf of these people, I should have told you not to do so.\n\nI did not know that you received fees from applicants in advance at any time except in connection with the Circular of November, 1912.\n\nI cannot say whether I heard that you had received fees in advance in the Nam Ly Singh case from the note in the file or Mr. McElderry. It is possible that I got it from the note in the file. If it was possible for me to have come to the conclusion from merely looking at a note of receipt of money by you on the file of Nam Ly Singh I could have come to the same conclusion if I had seen notes to the same effect in other similar cases on previous occasions; but when I was looking at Nam Ly Singh's my suspicions were already aroused.\n\nI do not remember where I found Nam Ly Singh's file exactly. It may have been left properly on your desk marked \"pending Probate papers\" when you were transferred from the Registry on June 30th, 1913.\n\nAll the files in these four cases before 17th April, 1913, must have come before me to go up to the Chief Justice for a grant.\n\nIf there were any notes of receipt of money in these files I might not have seen them; and if I did see them I might not have assumed...\n\nPage 7",

The 3 files in the locked drawer were all files in respect of which money had been paid and not accounted for.\n\nCross-examined.\n\nLi Ah Shau. Petition 17.9.12: completed 28.7.13: the delay was apparently due to the absence of valid sureties. You had to make a report on the genuineness of the claim: in December, 1912, sureties were submitted and found invalid: file shows no delay on your part: as a rule I should submit the question of the validity of sureties to the Secretary for Chinese Affairs: in this case it would seem it went to the land registry.\n\nAdjourned till Friday 5th. 10.30 a.m.\n\n-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-\n\n4th.

To a practice all officers should confirm as a rule and a practice would not be changed capriciously. It was a practice to submit sureties in the Chinese cases to the Secretary for Chinese Affairs unless the Registrar or Deputy Registrars were satisfied otherwise. In Li Ah Shau's case the matter was referred to the Land Office by Mr. McElderry; I don't know if you suggested it; if Li Ah Shau had real property it would go to the Land Office: you would submit the names of the sureties to the Deputy Registrar and it would be referred as a matter of course, as a rule, to the Secretary for Chinese Affairs or Land Officer. The file in Li Ah Shau's case were finally accepted without reference on my own responsibility, principally owing to the delay and its being so small an estate. I did not take this short cut because the circumstances of the delay and of the case were not known to me. The delay was part of the reason.",

This correspondence shows that I wrote to P. 7. D. on 29th. April, 1912. There might be a quantity of correspondence about a case and yet no petition and no file: the letter of 29th. April, 1912, is in my hand-writing: D. P. V. replied 12.8.12 saying he understand informa-tion asked for was no longer required: I don't know who had told him this. I don't know if you reported Mr. Dillon a Land Bailiff over this matter; I remember nothing about the case. There is a note as to the validity of the sureties dated 14th. May, 1913, and a further note saying they were no good 20th. May, 1913; there is nothing in this case to show any blame or delay to Mr. Alim Khan on the time question.\n\nIf there was no petition there would be no file: and every document filed appears as to its fee in the fee-book: you paid the whole of the money back on 9th.

Alim Khan: the petition was sworn on 20th. December, 1912, and stamps put on 23rd.\n\n**\n\nIn fact here I did exactly what you were doing. I did not regard the Circular of 14th. November,, 1912, as applicable to myself. I took the Circular, I think, from the General Orders: the General Orders refer to myself. The Circular was applicable to me. I gave you the money in Sonksen's case because it was a special case. I saw you before the Circular and told you you must n't take money from anyone. In Sonksen's case you broke the General Orders and the circular on my instructions.\n\nThe giving of the number brings the file to the attention of the Auditor: if they are not numbered the Auditor would not look at them: Cordeiro and How Yin'e case were not numbered.\n\nI never knew the Auditor calls for unnumbered files; the preliminary fees are entered in the fee-book: I did not know whether unnumbered files have been called up or not from the Chief Justice's office. He does a test audit not a general audit.\n\nCordeiro and How Yin's cases would not have been traced by the Auditor: if they had been numbered they might have been traced. I don't know where the Auditor's get their numbers from; whether from the fit fee-book or register of application.

There are stamps on declarations (2) of the Printers and Publishers register in which stamps paid in March were not cancelled till 4th July: I think the 4th. July was the date \n\nwhen Alim Khan paid the money (82 in all). The Auditor looked at \n\nthe fee-books (I have asked him). \n\nThere was a case in which stamps were on the file but had not \n\nbeen cancelled; it was a long time, perhaps a year or more: this was an oversight. In Shek Fuk's case I was wrong as there is no entry in the Fee-book but there is an entry in the Probate (on \n\nPetition) register dated 8th. May, 1913. \n\nI don't know if this Probate register was sent out as a \n\nChit Book. I never knew cash was paid to any clerk for copying \n\nfees: open cheques may have been sent to me when the amounts were \n\nbig by Solicitors. I do not remember sending these cheques to the \n\nclerks. In Company cases I don't remember holding up monies, I \n\ndon't remember Mr. McElderry reporting to me in Lay that you had reported to him that you were holding up the money in pauper cases. \n\nGabnava Singh's case: letters of administration: an Indian died and \n\nhe had a wife in India: I was official administrator: amount due to \n\nestate #213.19; a cheque for this amount was received from Treasury \n\nby me on or about 17th. April, 1913: I sent the cheque with the direction to the shroff who returned it to me chopped; chopped on \n\nthe receipt and on the cheque for me to endorse the cheque and \n\nsign receipt: I endorsed the cheque (Order cheque) and handed it \n\nto the No. 1 messenger to give to the shroff. It was one of Mr. \n\nMcElderry's cases. \n\nI received a letter dated 31st. July, 1913, from Deputy \n\nCommissioner at Hoshiarpur (marked F). \n\nI answered it (letter not produced). \n\nI received a reply covered a document dated 17th.

When his letter arrived Mahomed Akbar had been in Post Office but was then in the Registry: he had exchanged with Alim han. I think I sent for him to bring the file in; I wanted to look at it.\n\nI cannot say if the files in Indian cases were brought in when you were in the office when a letter from India came in.\n\nYou were not in the office when the letter came. As far as I know all your remissions to India were in order: quite a number but not many.\n\nI made other enquiries and as far as I could ascertain only $100 had been sent and that was on June 14th.\n\nYou were arrested on my information before July 3rd: before this charge came up. You could have paid in the remainder at any time: there was nothing to prevent you doing so.\n\nMr. Li Tam Kiu: administrator in Li Ah Shau's case: I had to do with Alim Khan in this case; I paid him $14.80: he gave me a receipt; in the 7th moon of last year; I got my probate in 9th moon of this year: I know no reason for the delay: I often went (20 times perhaps) and asked Mr. A. K. why the delay was: he said pressure of work and that my turn had not come: he mentioned sureties: I brought 2 and Mr. A.K. told me to wait till later: he didn't say if they were good or bad: these 2 were eventually accepted: I took them in December.\n\nCross-examined. I remember meeting you in the Kowloon City road near my village: I don't think you mentioned about sureties: I don't remember meeting you in Kowloon when I was carrying vegetables; you did not tell me they were no good as property owners but I told you they were shopkeepers; deceased left a concubine.\n\nPage 208",

(sd.) +++ 嬌譚李 John William Lee-Jones: Deputy Registrar, Supreme Court: 16 years in Registry. Mr. Alim Khan was there and I was there the whole time he was there. There were certain poor cases (Probate and Letters of Administration) and he would prepare the papers with the object of relieving the public. Poor people would come into the registry: enquiries would be made and if under $500 Mr. A. K. would receive an order to prepare the papers: when the papers were prepared Mr. Alim Khan would receive the cash from the people and affix the stamps: in each case it was necessary to get Registrar's or Deputy Registrar's cognizance. I was aware that the practice was irregular; but they were special cases; in these very small cases he was allowed to receive the money in advance: I did not know that he accepted all the money requisite to be paid out as required. I never gave him any such authority at all. I was away on leave during all this affair. Cross-examined by Mr. Alim Khan. Probate work is not part of my duty but I have often done it. I should always see that the stamp was on before I administered the oath. The stamps would be fixed and cancelled before the oath. If I saw a petition taken before myself on which the stamps were cancelled some days after the oath there must have been some special reason for such a circumstance. I don't personally remember any individual case. (I will show you cases). You did handle cash for the Official Administrator, (Sd.) J. W. Lee-Jones.

I dealt with Probate and Letters of Administration cases.\n\nIn poor cases where Mr. Alim Khan received authority to prepare the papers in the Registry the practice was that the money payable by the applicant was handed to Alim Khan and he was supposed to affix stamps.\n\nI was not aware that Mr. A. K. received the money en bloc at one time.\n\nI don't remember anything about Cordeiro's case. Mr. A.

I had nothing to do with the transmission of the Money Order: I believe that it was all left to Mr. A. Khan.\n\nI gave no instructions about the money at all: I didn't know whether the money was forwarded or not; nor did I enquire as to what the equivalent was or for any voucher. It was very slack of me. I do not know how the money is transmitted or who had the cheque. I did not know what the practice was at all.\n\nCross-examined by Mr. Alim Khan.\n\nThe practices I followed were sometimes taken from you as practices of the Registry. I don't know if G is in the usual form. I would compare the figures with the ledger; as a rule myself: and the ledger is posted up from the cash-book.\n\nI should satisfy myself that the figure was correct.\n\n(Treasurer asks for a similar letter to G).\n\nI don't remember if this Estate was wound up on my instructions. You used to communicate to us, on occasions, the Registrar's wishes. I don't recollect signing the letter: but I should be greatly surprised if I signed it in blank. I don't remember any conversation about it. I don't remember if you called my attention to the amount.

I signed the papers on 15th February, 1913, without the stamp being on: I did this for convenience of the people: but I did not know you had the money but I do not know that I remember this case.\n\nI remember that there was a complaint about too much work in the office. I have a hazy recollection that you complained about having too much work and much delay in the way of the pauper estates. It was common knowledge that in many pauper cases there was much delay due to sureties not being satisfactory.\n\nI don't remember in the H. K. & S.

I was away on other duty all this year till August and practically all last year. I have dealt with Probate and Letters of Administration cases and they all passed through my hand. All pauper cases went to Mr. A. K. first and he, after getting permission, prepared the papers. There would be certain fees payable: I thought the shroff received the fees; I was unaware that Mr. A. Khan received cash. I didn't know how the stamps got on the documents. The shroff kept the stamps. Exhibit G: I cannot say if it is in the ordinary form.\n\nI believe I have signed documents without the stamps, but I should have asked Mr. Alim Khan (if he brought the papers) if the shroff had received the money for the stamps. Mr. Alim Khan was a good clerk.\n\nJ\n\nCross-\n\ni",

The case was a poor one. I never said you could give them a receipt: I may have said they should have had a receipt; but I meant a receipt from the shroff.\n\nI don't know if you gave receipts. I did not know you were in the habit of taking fees in advance. I must say you were very good and very obliging.\n\nMr. Alim Khan now states.\n\nMr. Nisbet had knowledge of the practice that I was putting through these pauper cases and receiving fees in advance; he had full knowledge of the fact that I was handling cash monies in the Registry not only in small amounts but up even to $31,200. He knew of the difficulty of completing these poor cases so far as security was concerned and he knew many were outstanding for a long time for want of security; he always acquiesced in leaving these cases to be dealt with and put through as I liked. He knew that at the time the November Circular was issued I had been receiving fees in advance; he never told me Mr. Fletcher had reported to him the fact that I had been receiving money in advance: he never enquired, at that time or at any time, if I had any cash balances in these pauper cases. I was ignorant of the fact that Mr. Fletcher had made any report to Mr. Nisbet. When Mr. Fletcher spoke to me in an advisory manner he said that something ought to be done to prevent the public thinking that they were being squeezed and suggested that if a receipt was given for the fees paid by these poor people they would feel quite content; the word receipt being mentioned in its general sense and I not knowing if Mr. Fletcher meant an official or private receipt I adopted a system of giving them a rough receipt on a blue slip of paper and I also entered in the file a note of the fact of payment. The November Circular was issued by Mr. Nisbet after a report made to him by me after the Dutch Consul making a trouble about a receipt for stamps payable on a copy of a document from the Registry. I told him that if we had",

My report coupled with Mr. Fletcher's\n\nreport might have forced Mr. Nisbet to issue the Circular. In the Registry I was not the only clerk who handled cash but all the\n\nclerks from 1st. to 4th. handled cash money with the cognizance of\n\nthe Registrar in large sums and often messengers took cash money\n\nin large sums from Registrar to Shroff.\n\nThe Registrar often sent cash money received by him with the\n\nletters from Solicitors to me: these were monies for fees payable\n\nin stamps and sent by Solicitors concerned in cash, by mistake.\n\nThe Registrar knew I was receiving fees payable on declara-\n\ntions in Printers and Publishers matters in cash and I often\n\nbook cash monies in his office from respectable persons to whom\n\nhe was attending.\n\n(Adjourned till Wednesday 17th. at 9.30 a.m.)\n\n9th.

He often handed or sent to me cash himself. He often either handed or sent to me cash received by him direct from Solicitors concerned for fees payable in stamps in Probate matters. He and his Deputies often handed me cheques and cash on behalf of the Official Administrator for payment of Probate Duty and Court Fees and the Official Administrator (The Registrar, Mr. Nisbet) owes me the sum of 60 cents advanced by me on his behalf towards interest payable on the Probate Duty in re Leung Chen Thi deceased. On my presenting the Letters of Administration at the Treasury to be stamped I was told that the interest payable on the Probate Duty had been under-calculated to the amount of 65 cents and I paid it in order to complete the matter and reported the fact to Mr. Lee-Jones who promised to pay me later out of the Estate. I have not yet been paid. On several occasions Mr. Nisbet handed me open cheques and cash for the purchase of stamps in payment of Solicitors' admission fees payable in stamps and sent by mistake by the Solicitors concerned by cheques or cash.\n\nIt is not true that he did not know that I handled cash in the Registry.\n\nMy statement with regard to handling cash contrary to General Orders is supported by Messrs. Lee-Jones and McElderry. Mr. Lee-Jones stated that I did handle cash in the Registry to the cognizance of the Registrar, Mr. Nisbet, and his Deputies and that I received fees from pauper people in cash for purchase of adhesive stamps. Mr. McElderry stated that he assumed the fact that I was handling cash in the registry and received moneys in cash from pauper people for purchase of adhesive stamps.\n\nI respectfully submit that I was not the only subordinate in the Registry who handled cash but that everyone inclusive of the messengers handled it to the cognizance of the Registrar and with his assent.

He is an ex Police Sub-Inspector and having been such I respectfully submit he should not be believed when he said that he did not realize when he was persuading me as a friend to take back the 113.93 or else it would be forfeited by the Government that he was incriminating me thereby. I submit he came to me with his aforesaid persuasions quite impressed that I was an ignorant fool and that he could play the game with me. He was dismissed from the Police Force in India for receiving bribes and trumping up cases for money. He dare not disclose to the Hongkong Government in his applications or otherwise that he had been a Police Sub-Inspector which is a very respectable and fairly high rank in India for Indians with much better prospects than a clerk in any service.\n\nI submit that Khwas Khan would not only put out $113.93 and conspire with others and further more present himself before the Committee here to say that the man who tendered the application for a Money Order for the $113.93 and the sum of $113.93 said when he was asked by him that \"Baboo Alim Khan\" was sending the money. I submit that the fair amount of intelligence I am possessed of would not allow me to tell the people first that I was going to do something illegal and more especially to send someone unprepared to an office where I have a good friend Like Khwas Khan to put through something illegal for me. I submit that Khawas Khan should not be believed in this respect and if he is not believed as the Committee intimated to me I appeal to the Committee for their very serious consideration of the fact why Khawas Khan should have told you that the man mentioned my name as the remitter. I submit it is a made up thing by Khawas Khan himself. The day after Mohamed Akber pointed out the discrepancy of Rs. 145.5 or $113.93 the news had reached Khawas Khan's brother Sirdar Khan in the General Post Office and from him to Bishen Dass in the same Department who spoke to me about it, but",

I suggested Mr. Jenkin, and they agreed to it, and asked me to speak to Mr. Jenkin and tell him to see the Registrar (Mr. Nisbet) with a view to getting the case withdrawn. I told them to engage a Solicitor to do that work for them and they went away. It happened that I met Mr. Jenkin in the large Court of the Supreme Court immediately after I left them and mentioned the case to him and conveyed to him that the petitioners desired him to do. He said \"all right, let them come round to see me\".\n\nAt about 2 p.m. Mr. Jenkin met me in the Registry and told me that he mentioned the case to Mr. Nisbet in the Hongkong Club at tiffin time and that he (Mr. Nisbet) asked him who told him about the case, and that he mentioned my name. Mr. Nisbet was very serious and told Mr. Jenkin that I had no business to interfere in the case and that he would see me about it. He did see me about it and gave me a proper telling off, whereupon I behaved very impertinently. Later in July he told a very popular Solicitor in the Colony when he went to see him in the Registry about a probate file that could not be found, that the cause of my trouble was too much private lawyering in the Registry. I behaved generally in the Registry in a very independent manner and always stood up to claiming my rights.\n\nHe refused to support my claim for promotion in June last.

Il signifie une malédiction et une menace pour nous tous. Et il faut nous réunir pour nous battre ensemble pour l'éloigner, pour le chasser, non seulement pour le bien-être de la Chine, mais pour le nôtre. La Turquie n'a pas d'intérêts réels, d'intérêts vitaux dans cette cause à comparer un seul instant avec les nôtres représentés à cette conférence internationale.\n\nMessieurs, j'ai essayé de vous exposer les sentiments et les vues qui ont animé mon Gouvernement en prenant part avec vous à cette campagne contre le commerce de l'opium, non pas contre son emploi légal médicinal mais bien contre le trafic infernal de l'opium lorsqu'il devient un poison toxique. Nous voulons marcher en avant avec vous. Nous voulons que la Convention soit ratifiée et mise en vigueur aussitôt que possible, avec autant de Puissances signataires ou adhérentes que faire se pourra mais en tout cas nous la voulons mise en vigueur quelque puisse être le nombre d'Etats qui voudront s'unir à notre entreprise qu'ils soient d'Amérique, d'Asie ou d'Europe.\n\nNous sommes arrivés à un carrefour.\n\nDeux voix: la Turquie et la Serbie murmurent \"Retournons\"! Quarante voix crient Avançons!''\n\nQue cette troisième conférence de l'Opium ne devienne pas la tombe d'un noble et généreux espoir, qu'elle devienne un point de départ marqué par une pierre d'or sur le chemin du progrès humain.\n\nM. van Deventer, Délégué des Pays-Bas: M. le Président, conformément à votre invitation je veux motiver brièvement l'appui de la Délégation néerlandaise à la proposition des Etats-Unis d'Amérique.\n\nEn considérant le résultat de nos deux conférences précédentes, nous sommes d'opinion que notre travail a obtenu un succès incontestable.\n\nDes 34 Puissances, énumérées à l'article 22 de la Convention du 28 janvier 1912 comme non-signataires à cette date, 32 ont cédé aux arguments des 12 Puissances qui s'étaient réunies pour la première fois à La Haye.\n\nIl ne reste que deux, la Turquie et la Serbie, qui malgré tous nos efforts, persistent à refuser de se joindre à nous autres.\n\nLa Délégation néerlandaise est d'avis qu'il serait très regrettable qu'un tel résultat dût rester entièrement inutile.\n\nPourquoi au cas où les deux Puissances nommées persistent dans leur refus, pourquoi toutes les Puissances du monde, sauf deux, ne se réuniraient-elles pas pour effectuer entre elles les principes et les règles adoptés par la Convention de 1912?\n\nIl est vrai que la Turquie et la Serbie seraient libres alors de cultiver le pavot, de fabriquer l'opium, la morphine et la cocaine et de vendre ces produits à leur gré, mais seulement sur les territoires de ces états. Autrepart, dans tout le monde, les lois régleraient et l'importation et la vente.\n\nPense-t-on vraiment que sous de telles circonstances, la liberté de ces deux états offrirait beaucoup d'attraits? Quant à nous, nous croyons que bientôt ils comprendraient qu'il serait de beaucoup préférable de se soumettre aux règles générales et d'épargner aux autres états la peine de prendre des mesures prohibitives contre leurs produits. Et s'ils ne le comprennent pas, eh bien, qu'ils restent seuls avec... leur liberté. Les autres états seront et les plus forts et les plus honorables.\n\nC'est pourquoi j'ose appuyer fortement et d'une conviction ferme, au nom de la Délégation néerlandaise la proposition de la Délégation des Etats-Unis d'Amérique.\n\nHeureusement le Gouvernement des Pays-Bas nous a donné plein pouvoir d'agir dans ce sens. Notre Délégation a été autorisée à déclarer à la conférence que le Gouvernement de la Reine est disposé à ratifier la Convention de l'opium\n\n23\n\naussitôt que le projet de loi d'approbation, déjà examiné par la Seconde Chambre et que cette Chambre vient d'approuver, sera accepté aussi par la Première Chambre des Etats-Généraux. Elle a été chargée de déclarer à la conférence que le Gouvernement de la Reine est d'avis que la Convention pourra être mise en vigueur, même si la signature de quelques Puissances fait défaut et de prêter autant que possible son concours afin que la conférence décide dans le sens susindiqué.\n\nNous voterons donc pour la résolution de la Délégation des Etats-Unis d'Amérique et nous espérons que cette résolution sera acceptée d'un commun accord.\n\n(Applaudissements).\n\nSon Exc. M. Swétchine, Délégué de Russie: La Russie étant l'un des douze Etats qui ont signé les premiers la Convention de l'opium et restant disposée à la ratifier et à la mettre en vigueur aussitôt que son application pourra être assez générale pour être effective, le Délégué russe partagerait l'avis émis par le Délégué des Pays-Bas qu'il y aurait lieu de rechercher les moyens d'assurer l'application de la dite Convention par l'unanime accord de ses signataires, nonobstant le refus de deux Puissances d'y accéder, si, effectivement, les deux Puissances qui ont refusé leurs signatures, nommément la Turquie et la Serbie, étaient les seules qui ne se prêtassent pas à sa mise en vigueur sans délai. Mais pratiquement les choses se présentent d'une autre manière. Nous venons d'entendre que, pour des raisons et avec des nuances différentes, l'Allemagne, l'Autriche-Hongrie et la Suisse ne sont pas disposées ou ne se trouvent pas en mesure d'appliquer la Convention de l'opium pendant un laps de temps qui peut être plus ou moins prolongé et qui en tout cas ne se laisse pas déterminer. C'est donc toute l'Europe centrale restant de fait en dehors de son application. Cela change considérablement l'aspect des choses, et dans ces conditions, le Délégué de Russie désirerait savoir si le Délégué des Pays-Bas a envisagé les moyens pratiques de réaliser l'accord unanime des signataires, dont il vient de parler, pour la mise en vigueur sans délai de la Convention et quels pourraient être, d'après lui, ces moyens?\n\nM. van Deventer, Délégué des Pays-Bas, répond qu'il a seulement voulu démontrer que si toutes les Puissances qui ont déjà signé la Convention se réunissent, on aura une situation très forte contre les deux pays qui s'abstiennent. Dans ce cas on pourra obtenir une mise en vigueur réellement effective. L'orateur comprend que si les Puissances signataires qui ont soulevé des réserves ou qui formulent des objections pour ratifier ou pour mettre en vigueur la Convention persistent dans leurs objections, une réalisation de la Convention pourrait être difficile, mais en raison du succès qui a déjà été obtenu il croit possible d'obtenir un commun accord.\n\nM. de Jongh, Délégué des Pays-Bas:\n\nMonsieur le Président,\n\nQu'il me soit permis d'amplifier, surtout sous un point de vue d'expérience, les communications faites tout à l'heure par mon Collègue, M. le Dr. VAN DEVENTER.\n\nA l'heure qu'il est, nous avons à envisager qu'il y a une ou deux Puissances, dont l'une est grande cultivatrice du pavot et productrice d'opium, qui refusent leur collaboration au grand oeuvre humanitaire sur lequel le reste du monde est d'accord.\n\nLa question se pose alors: quels sont les dangers à craindre de la position exceptionnelle dans laquelle la Turquie et éventuellement la Serbie vont se placer?\n\nD'abord la Turquie revendique le monopole de la fabrication et de l'exportation illimitées et non contrôlées de l'opium brut, de l'opium préparé, de morphine, de cocaine, d'héroïne et de leurs sels respectifs vers les autres pays du monde.\n\n|\n\n8",

W. W. Yen, Ministre des Affaires étrangères;\n\nLe Gouvernement de la République allemande: M. H. von Borch, Consul général.\n\nLesquels, après s'être communiqué leurs pleins pouvoirs, trouvés en bonne et due forme, ont convenu des dispositions suivantes:\n\n## ARTICLE 1. \n\nLes deux hautes parties contractantes auront le droit d'envoyer mutuellement des agents diplomatiques dûment accrédités, qui jouiront réciproquement dans le pays de leur résidence des privilèges et immunités que leur accorde le droit des gens.\n\n## ARTICLE 2. \n\nLes deux hautes parties contractantes s'accordent réciproquement le droit de nommer, dans toutes les localités où s'est établi un consulat ou un vice-consulat d'une autre nation, des consuls, vice-consuls et agents consulaires, qui seront traités avec considération et les égards qui sont accordés aux agents de la même catégorie des autres nations.\n\n## ARTICLE 3. \n\nLes ressortissants d'une des deux républiques résidant sur le territoire de l'autre auront la faculté, conformément aux lois et règlements du pays, de voyager, de s'établir et d'exercer le commerce ou l'industrie, dans toutes les localités où des ressortissants d'une autre nation peuvent le faire.\n\nIls sont placés, tant pour leurs personnes que pour leurs biens, sous la juridiction des tribunaux locaux; ils doivent se conformer aux lois du pays où ils résident. Ils ne paieront aucuns impôts, taxes ou contributions supérieurs à ceux payés par les nationaux du pays.\n\n## ARTICLE 4. \n\nLes deux hautes parties contractantes reconnaissent que toutes les matières douanières sont réglées uniquement par la législation intérieure de chacune d'elles. Toutefois, aucuns droits supérieurs à ceux acquittés par les nationaux du pays ne seront prélevés sur les produits bruts ou manufacturés d'origine d'une des deux républiques ou d'un autre pays à leur importation, exportation ou transit.\n\n## ARTICLE 5. \n\n...\n\n## ARTICLE 6. \n\nLe présent accord est rédigé en chinois, en allemand et en français; en cas de divergence d'interprétation, le texte français fera foi.\n\n## ARTICLE 7. \n\nLe présent accord sera ratifié le plus tôt possible et entrera en vigueur dès le jour où les deux Gouvernements ont fait connaître, l'un à l'autre, que les ratifications ont été effectuées.\n\nFait à Pékin, en double exemplaire, le 20 jour du 5 mois de la 10e année de la République chinoise, correspondant au 20 mai 1921.\n\nW. W. YEN. \nH. VON BORCH.\n\n(L.S.) \n(L.S.)\n\nI have the honour, at the instruction of my Government, to make the following observations:—\n\nAs an explanation to the German declaration and the Sino-German Agreement, it is stated that:\n\n\"1. Customs tariff on Chinese goods imported into Germany: The statement that export and transit duties to be paid by nationals of either of the two high contracting parties shall not be higher than those paid by nationals of the country, as provided for in article 4 of the agreement, does not preclude China from the privilege of applying article 264 of the Versailles Treaty.\n\n2. The payment of indemnity: The statement in the German declaration that any expenses of the Government of German militaries in various camps of internment in China is understood to mean that Germany, in addition to indemnifying China for her losses according to the principles of the Versailles Treaty, is also willing to refund to China the expenses of internment.\n\nAs to the indemnity for war losses, Germany undertakes to pay in advance a portion thereof in a lump sum, which represents the equivalent of one-half of the unliquidated German property, which amount will eventually be deducted from the proceeds from the liquidated German property and one-half of the values of the unliquidated but not yet liquidated German property, and which will consist of 4,000,000 dollars in cash and the balance in Pu and Hu-Kuang Railway bonds.\n\n3. Chinese property in Germany: The movable and unmovable properties of Chinese residents in Germany will be returned at the ratification of the agreement. The German Government will be pleased to assist them with its best efforts in securing their rights.\n\n4. Chinese students in Germany: In regard to the Chinese students in Germany, the German Government is prepared to give them permission to schools or acquiring practical experience.\"\n\nAs to the queries addressed by your Excellency, I have the honour to reply as follows:\n\n1. The security to be given in future to the properties of Chinese or German residents: The Chinese Government promises to give full protection to the peaceful undertakings of Germans in China, and agrees not to further sequestrate their properties except in accordance with the generally recognised principles of international law and the provisions of the laws of China: provided that the German Government treat the Chinese residents in Germany in like manner.\n\n2. Judicial guarantee: Law-suits of Germans in China shall be tried in the modern courts, according to the modern codes, with the right of appeal and in accordance with the regular legal procedure. During the period of litigation, the assistance of German lawyers and interpreters who have been duly recognised by the court is permitted.\n\n3. In regard to the law-suit in the Mixed Court, in which Germans are involved as one or both of the parties, the Chinese Government will in the future try to accord a just and fair solution so as to ensure justice and fairness to all the parties concerned.\n\n4. China's Trading with the Enemy Act: All the laws and regulations concerning trade with the enemy will lose their effect from the day of the ratification of the agreement. All German trade-marks which had been registered at the custom-house will cover their validity if they are registered again after the ratification of the agreement at the custom-house by their owners.\n\n5. The liquidation of Sino-German indebtedness: The Chinese Government has the intention to join the clearing-house system as provided for in article 296 of the Versailles Treaty.\n\nFurthermore, the Chinese Government, in consideration of the fact that Germany undertakes, as stated above, to pay a lump sum as a portion of the indemnity for war losses, is willing to be liberal in the use of the funds derived from the liquidated German property.\n\nPage 563",

But, however this may be, it is at any rate a sound and well settled rule of construction that where the Court finds itself in presence of a long established and convenient course of practice or conduct which has grown up under the sanction or alleged sanction of a written instrument, it ought, if possible, to adopt such a construction of the instrument ut res mais valeat quam pereat.\n\nFrom the evidence before me it appears that there is a duplicate seal of the Corporation kept in London, but there is no Seal at Shanghai. There may therefore be difficulty about the issue of share certificates at Shanghai, but in any event, if there is such a difficulty, it is one between the Corporation and its Shareholders and does not affect the principle of decision in this case,\n\nAs to the effect of the finding that the local Register are good and valid registers, reference may usefully be made to the English Acts on the subject of colonial registers. At p.240, Hanson's Death Duties the effect of these Acts in relation to probate duty is thus stated:- The 46 and 47 Vict. C. 30 which authorises companies registered under the Companies Act of 1862 to keep colonial registers of members provides by Sec. 7 that upon the death of any member so registered, the interest shall be deemed part of his estate within the United Kingdom for probate or inventory purposes in like manner as if he were registered at the Companies registered office. By Sec. 18 of the 52 and 53 Vict. C. 42., however, this provision is confined to persons domiciled in the United Kingdom. It would appear, therefore, that shares in such a company, registered in the colonial Register by a person domiciled in a British possession, will be locally situate where the Register is; but that where the person was domiciled in the United Kingdom, such shares will be locally situate in the United Kingdom.\n\nThe Court is not asked to decide the question of the liability",

To give the police the necessary facility for preventing illicit traffic in passes and excluding undesirable\n\npersons after the gates are closed:\n\n2.

It has been compiled by Mr. F.D. Angus, the accountant in the medical department who became a general assistant to Dr. Selwyn Clarke after the fall of the Colony. This report confirms what we had already believed that the whole of the community of the Colony and internees in Stanley Camp in particular owe a very great debt to Dr. Selwyn Clarke. But for his untiring activities and his persistence in soliciting necessary requirements from the Japanese authorities, the incidence of death and disease would almost certainly have been higher.\n\nI have had a copy of the report registered on Dr. Selwyn Clarke's personal file and I have also sent a copy to Sir John Shuckbrugh in case it is of interest to him in connection with his History of the War.\n\nPerhaps Dr. Rae would very kindly say whether it should be seen by any other department.\n\n17.11.45.\n\nIt is an epic story\n\nwith an amazing price of work\n\nMay thems\n\nt\n\npers mal\n\nMK.\n\nIt is\n\nan epic story\n\nShal\n\nJun.\n\nP.R.O..\n\nbest asim bape shouts re\n\no Telugu Chate has a\n\nvy la amoisha\n\n4.dis\n\nThe Gow cont\n\n55.\n\nDr\n\nbil sular\n\n27/11\n\nOn the direction of the Colonial Secretary, Selwyn-Clarke has now submitted his own account of the work undertaken by himself and his associates during the period of the Japanese Occupation. It is a factual and impersonal statement but even so the epic nature of the story comes through. It is almost incredible that one man could have achieved so much. We should, however, be grateful that there is also the account written by F.D. Angus (2) which adds details that Dr. Selwyn-Clarke has not thought fit to include.",

        "content_text": "32\n\n3=9\n\n-9\n\nTimes\n\n-4 PLD 1940\n\nThe Chinese Press\n\n1\n\nDR. HOLLINGTON TONG, director of the Chinese Government Information Office in Nanking, sent by cable last week a courteous and detailed disclaimer of a recent article on this page which argued that the Chinese authorities could not escape responsibility for permitting the nationalist Press to indulge in a violent anti-British campaign, aggravating the Kowloon dispute, and helping to bring about the Shameen riots. DR. TONG contends that there has been no censorship of the Press in China since 1945; that no authority in the Chinese Government can control the Press in the interests of official policy; and that Chinese newspaper editors, free to follow their own judgment, would be the first to resent any official invasion.\n\nDR. TONG no doubt gives an accurate statement of the law and constitution of the Chinese Republic. He omits to mention that last October there was a restoration of war-time mail and telegraph censorship at the discretion of local authorities, and that, even before that time, the military had been accustomed to take action against newspapers publishing accounts of Communist victories or giving prominence to demonstrations by students. In May three Liberal organs were suspended by garrison headquarters at Shanghai. In June a leading Shanghai newspaper publicly protested against the censorship exercised over its editorials and against the official ban upon news not emanating from the Central News Agency.\n\n## UNREST IN CHINA\n\n## ECONOMIC CONDITIONS WORSENING\n\nFROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT\n\nPEKING, FEB. 3 Two recent cases of assault on public officials, followed immediately afterwards by serious riots and loss of life at a factory in Shanghai, are symptomatic of the serious discontent, verging on desperation, among the poorer classes in particular in China to-day.\n\nWhether this kind of control of the Press is legal or illegal is beside the point; what matters is that it goes on. An outburst of anti-British agitation over the death of a Kowloon hawker has been traced to the issue of an instruction to all Canton newspapers by the local Kuomintang. The authorities have in fact from time to time suspended newspapers which incited to violence. Within the last two weeks they have inflicted the same penalty upon a newspaper which affronted Chinese Muslims. A formal censorship of Chinese newspapers may not be legally recognized, but the executive Government and the Kuomintang can exercise control over any newspaper which fails to conform to the policy they favour. These powers, if wisely employed, may be defensible in a country so distracted by civil war and public unrest as China is to-day. The British complaint is that they have not been wisely employed.\n\nThe main causes of this discontent are the steadily deteriorating economic conditions and the heavy rise in living costs. These conditions are due mainly to the civil war, which, owing to Communist destructive tactics, is wrecking the economy of Manchuria, of the whole of north China, and of a part of central China, but also to the Government's economic policy, which is strangling what little trade is still possible. The policy is supposedly necessitated by the Government's desperate need of foreign exchange for financing the civil war.\n\nThere is also the growing antagonism between south and north China; the latter considers it has been neglected by the central Government, which in its view is concerned only with financial and commercial interests in Shanghai and the Yangtze Valley. It is said that one reason for the appointment of General Fu Tso-yi, a northerner, as Bandit Suppression Commissioner, North China, was to allay northern dissatisfaction. The present growing unrest might easily lead to food riots in the larger cities and to unpredictable political changes.\n\nIn keeping with the American example, the British Consulate at Changchun, Manchuria, has been closed.\n\nMR Wallace H/535.\n\nR5\n\nR 531-\n\n-put by Bla\n\nBlayers\n\nalimée",
