E. SHELLEY, \n\nClerk of the Councils. \n\nJOHN FRANCIS DAVIS, Governor, &c. &c. \n\nHONGKONG.-Published by Authority. \n\nPrinted by Jous CarK. \n\nIn 230 H tong \n\nTo His Excellency the Governon \n\nof Hongkong and its Dependencies and the the Colony Honorable Members of the Legislative Coun- cil of Hongkong. HONORABLE SIRS-We respectfully beg to address you with reference to Ordinance No. \n\n17 of 1844 entitled \"An Ordinance for Esta- blishing a Registry of the Inhabitants of the \"Island of Hongkong and its Dependencies.\"-- passed the Legislative Council the 21st August last and published for the first time in the Friend of China of the 19th October to come into force the 1st November. \n\nTho it may not be strictly within our pro- vince to question the Policy of the publication of any ordinance, whether urgent or unimpor tant its principles and details, not taking place until within the short space of twelve days of the period of its coming into operation we cannot but express our regret that an Ordi- nance so materially affecting both public and private interests, which appears to have been passed so for back as the 21st August last, should not have been made known to us un- til within so short a period of our being called upon to acknowledge it as law-thus depriving as the opportunity of making that due \n\nrepresen tation of our opinions against such enactments as may appear to us to bear hard upon our in- terests: a privilege, which as being unrepre- sented in the Legislative Council, we think is our due considering the important interests we have at stake in the Colony. To these cir- cumstances we pray you to attribute the la- teness of our present address and not to any indifference to the subject at issue. \n\nWith these preliminary observations, we desire, therefore to represent to you Excellency and the respective Honorable Members of your Council the unfeigned, and extreme repugna- nce with which we have read the Ordinance in question and to enter our formal and de- clared Protest against the Principles that it involves. \n\nPrinciples-We do not hesitate to say as unjust as they are arbitrary and unconstitutional taxing British subjects unrepresented in the most iniquitous of forms, authorizing the most unheard of inquisitorial proceedings, without appeal or remedy, and placing the very power of residence to British subjects whose name may have hitherto been unsullied and unsus- pected in the hands of any one individual. \n\nFurther-We consider that the Law in question is opposed in its details to one of the great objects struggled for during the late was with the Chinese Empire, and against which special provision was made in the Treaty of Nankin-namely, the unchristan principle of bolding one men responsible for the acts of another. \n\npur- \n\nAgain-We would represent that the effect of this enactment if carried out will interfere with the labor and consequent prosperity of the Colony-inasumch, as many of us have entered in o contracts upon the faith of chases wale from your Government at enor- mous rentals, which must now either be broken or delayed from the demur that the contractor will make to introduce laborors for their fulfil- ment whiltst the despotism that is apparent in this act, will induce many respectable Chinese who have now sufficient difficulty in paying \n\nthe heavy house rent in this Colony entirely to abandon the place, and deter others from taking up their residence amongst us. And, Moreover-We give it as our unqualified opinion that the carrying out of the details of this Ordinance will be found impracticable, as well as inefficacious for the object sought to be in attained, that the principle that it in- volves is even more stringent than has ever yet been applied to a penal settlement and we confidently assert is repugnant to the feelings of every Honorable British subject. \n\nWith the above representation of our views of and ↑ Protest against this Ordinance we would pray your Excellency in Council either to modify its details so as to remove the intollerance of the principles that it gives law to, or to cause the operation of it to be sus- pended until reference can be made to the Home Co- vernment as we cannot suppose that such a measure can receive the sanction of Her most gracious Majesty. \n\nT.

It would no doubt greatly assist His Excellency in protecting Emigrants, if he possessed a power of prohibiting the Emigration of Coolies from this Port unless the terms of their contracts afforded reasonable cause for considering them fair to the Emigrant, and a uniform form of contract might perhaps be settled on terms more just to the Planters than that adopted by the Peking Convention, which has caused nearly all honest and open Emigration to cease, and has thrown the trade into the hands of unscrupulous parties, who care nothing for the Chinese Government or their Convention, thus actually increasing the evils which it was intended to suppress.\n\n18. It might also be useful that the Governor here should have a power to prevent Emigrant vessels clearing for any Country where there might be reasonable ground for anticipating from past experience that the Emigrant would not meet kindly treatment or receive a fair reward for his labor—or where in fact he would probably be regarded more as a chattel or slave than as a man, possessing rights, which the laws and usages of the Country, to which he was emigrating, would enable him to enforce.\n\n19. His Excellency therefore in transmitting your Memorial has suggested to H. M. Government, that a field for useful inquiry and reform is open in the above direction and in doing so has felt that he was really adopting the means most calculated to advance practically the interests of both laborer and employer, which in all parts of the world have so mutual a dependence on one another that any legislation, which does not take into account what is due to both, can be beneficial to neither.\n\n20. His Excellency further believes that he has thereby adopted the only course open to him for securing the object equally desired by him and by you—namely, the greatest amount of justice and benefit attainable for the Emigrant.\n\nI have the honor to be,\n\nGentlemen,\n\nYour most obedient Servant,\n\n(Signed) Henry B. du Halde,\n\nActing Colonial Secretary.\n\nReturn\n\nof Emigrants from Hongkong to the undermentioned places for the\n\nYears 1861 to 1866 inclusive.\n\n \n Years\n San Francisco\n Australia\n Vancouver's Island\n British West Indies (Hired)\n Bombay (Hired)\n Jahili (Hired)\n Dutch West Indies (Hired)\n Honolulu (Hired)\n Borneo (Hired)\n Labuan (Hired)\n Java\n \n \n \n Adults children\n Adults children\n Adults Children\n Adults children\n Adults children\n Adults children\n Adults children\n Adults children\n Adults children\n Adults children\n Adults children\n \n \n 1861\n 7096 622\n 264\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 1862\n 7266 264\n 977\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 1863\n 7169 3\n 146 2\n $40\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 1864\n 2929\n 112\n 851\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 1865\n 9501\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 1866\n 2130\n 4146\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Total\n \n \n \n 29091 895\n 511 15\n 709s\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Male\n 12379\n \n 102\n 1970\n 24\n 1416\n 561\n 1337\n 698\n 356/2017\n \n \n \n \n 6\n \n 197 9\n \n 62\n \n 594/20528\n \n 58\n \n \n \n \n \n 105 39\n \n 18 2\n \n 436\n \n 48\n \n 7553\n \n \n \n \n -56-3872\n \n 765\n \n 16 27\n \n 2870\n \n 1033\n \n 950/32945\n \n \n \n 67997 13\n \n 62\n \n 105 39\n \n 18 2\n \n 436\n \n 2436\n \n \n \n 30.247\n \n 7117\n \n 1581\n \n 417/112\n \n 2370\n \n 1035\n \n \n \n 1295½\n \n 782\n \n You\n \n 62\n \n 1541\n \n \n \n \n Total of Adults leaving as hired laborers\n 10.306½\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Grand Total of Adults leaving Hongkong from 1861 to 1866 inclusive\n 49,251 ½\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n As women\n Aston\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Harbor Master & Emigration Officer\n 138.945\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Total of Adults paying their own passages\n 2 Children are equal to one adult.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nChong Khung\n\nJuly 9th 1867.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-123 - Sir MacDonnell - 1867 [7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 271043, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-124 - Sir MacDonnell - 1867 [8-9]", "page_number": 452, "title": "CO129-124 - Sir MacDonnell - 1867 [8-9]", "content_text": "Table 4\n\nAll Coins coined at the Mint between 1866 and 1867.\n\nNominal Value of Coins\n\n \n Half Dollars\n 20 Cents\n 10 Cents\n 5 Cents\n Total\n \n \n 1895,601\n 1325\n $2,518\n 29259\n \n \n \n \n \n 20486\n uogies\n \n \n \n 11,536.77\n 8909.11\n 4627\n hb\n \n \n \n 20\n 4,511.94\n \n \n \n \n \n \n 68r7|63\n siap bsoyer\n \n \n \n \n 134.79\n 22,367.47\n \n \n \n \n \n 6.19.462\n Active treats\n 461,156\n 22,657.80\n \n \n\n(True Copies) Total assay for coin\n\nMani (whitt\n\nActing Colonial Secretary.\n\n2882.36\n\n6752|18 |18.823|60|\n\n443\n\n2 11795\n\n(Signed) H.

They were as follows:-\n\nUnited Services.\n\n1. Lieut. F. Romilly, R.N., Galatea.\n\n2. Lieut. P. B. Aitken, R.N., Rinaldo.\n\n3. H. H. Jollye, Esq., R.N., Princess Charlotte.\n\n4. Capt. R. F.

E. Wodehouse, Esq.\n\n\"The United Services, having won the toss, appeared first at the wickets, and notwithstanding the efforts of Messrs. Darby and Prior, both of whom bowled really well, Mr. Jollye succeeded in putting together 79 by a splendid display of cricket, while Captain Tayler's admirable defences contributed, perhaps, more than anything else to the 'demoralization' of the Hongkong Cricket Club. Mr. de Crespigny and Lieutenant Hammett batted very well for their respective scores, and Mr. Ponsonby showed a very free and cricketing style of play.\n\n\"For the Club, Mr. Pollard went in for his usual steady style, sure to give confidence to any Eleven for whom he may play, while Mr. Mercer's slashing innings was prematurely (such are the chances of cricket) cut short at 16.\"\n\n\"In the second innings of the 'Services,' Lieutenant Parr, (75th Regt.) stole 15 by a number of judicious twos, while Messrs. Parkyn, Ponsonby and de Crespigny backed him up with double figures. In this innings, Mr. Mercer was very destructive, taking five wickets out of the ten.\n\n\"In the Club's second innings, nobody succeeded in reaching double figures but Messrs. Darby (who played like a book,) and Mercer (who began with a six,) and the total only amounted to 55, the 'United Services' remaining victors by 89 runs. In both innings, the bowling of Messrs. de Crespigny and Parkyn was the subject of frequent applause.\n\n\"Tiffin was served under the tents, which His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh honoured by his presence. The match occupied two days; and during the afternoons, the Band of the 75th Regiment played a choice selection of music. The ground was visited by several ladies, amongst whom was Lady MacDonnell, accompanied by His Excellency the Governor.\" The day closed with a Banquet at Government House, and a Reception afterwards by Lady MacDonnell. The grounds were illuminated, and the interest of the occasion was heightened by the Band of the Galatea playing during the course of the evening several pieces composed, and others arranged, by His Royal Highness himself.\n\n(35)\n\nFriday, November 12.-The Duke of Edinburgh is Master of the Trinity House; and, availing themselves of this fact, several Masters of vessels in Hongkong signed an Address to His Royal Highness, which is given in the Appendix, (H.)\n\nThe following account of this circumstance was communicated to the China Mail :----\" On Friday morning last, a number of the Ship Masters in Hongkong went off, by appointment, to Her Majesty's Ship Galatea to pay honour and respect as Seamen to His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh, her Captain, in his official capacity as Master of the Trinity House. On their arrival on board, they were met by the Lieutenant of the Deck who, with the Duke's compliments,' stated that he was detained on Court Martial duty, and hoped they would kindly await him in\n\n48", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-143 - Sir MacDonnell - 1870 [1-2].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 281060, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-143 - Sir MacDonnell - 1870 [1-2]", "page_number": 99, "title": "CO129-143 - Sir MacDonnell - 1870 [1-2]", "content_text": "98\n\n(anton Authorities that their quote of Contribution to the Military Expenditure in Thensi and Kansuh must be raised from $40,000 to $70,000 per mensem; and after casting about for various means of raising additional funds, the provincial Government determined on re-establishing the likin form of taxation. The various Guilds representing the different branches of trade have been consulted, and agreement has been arrived at, in pursuance of which a tax of one-hundredth per cent (one Candareen per Tael) is to be collected from all dealings in merchandise of every description, with the exception of Rice, Oil, and Firewood, carried on at Canton. This is the same rate that was in force until the abolition of the likin system by Governor Isanych in 1867; and I am informed by several persons in various stations that no objection is raised against the re-imposition of this tax by either the traders or the people, as the impost is too light to affect small transactions, and the amount of its incidence in larger dealings is also not sufficient to excite opposition.

The case commenced on the 18th September, and judgment was rendered on the 27th. Mr. F. V. Dickins, Barrister-at-law, appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Davidson, barrister, appeared for the defendants. The Court gave judgment in favour of the defendants.\n\nIt is not the intention of Government to allow foreigners to lease residences in the city of Yedo. All those who were granted permission are notified that they cannot remain longer than one month from date, and are required to return to Tsukiji.\n\nThe Consuls have just been notified of an important departmental change. All claims of a judicial character, instead of being as heretofore addressed to the Chiji of the Kanagawa Ken, are now to be sent to Mr. Nishi Naromori, Shio Chiu Hanji, the President of the Judicial Department of this ken, which from this date will exist as a separate department. Mr. Hill is appointed its legal adviser, and Mr. Wills to act as interpreter in conjunction with two native interpreters.\n\nIt is some time since Yokohama was visited with an earthquake of such unusual violence as that which occurred yesterday morning. The shocks were both lengthy and severe, in one instance knocking several ornaments from a chimney-piece to the floor, and in another, half emptying some fire buckets of their contents.\n\nIt is reported that Mr. Galy has been appointed to the post of interpreter to the Judicial Department, by the Minister of Justice, and Mr. Ribérolles as principal of the newly-established Law College.\n\nFire-rio kinsetsu, of the new issue, printed on foreign paper, are already imitated, spurious notes being in circulation. The Government asserts that the paper and engraving are correct, but the ink used for Japanese seals is too light.\n\nMr. English, Consul at Niigata, is about being transferred to Osaka, where he was formerly stationed, recent occurrences in that quarter having rendered such a step expedient.\n\nMr. A. M. Shillingford and Mr. W. A. J. Waters have been appointed assistants in the Okura-sho, to Mr. T. J.

This, we presume, is not more the case as regards Ceylon than other countries. But as it is the Cinnamon Isle, as it was formerly called,—it should be the Coffee Isle now—with which we have at present to deal, a few words on the fallacies which generally prevail till the season closes will not be out of place.\n\nThe coffee crop of the past season was very deficient; like every other growing crop this one depends much on the weather, first at the blossoming and afterwards during the filling of the bean. A very good blossom may blow and set, exciting high hopes of a splendid crop, and yet too much wet immediately after setting may perish it, while too much drought may do the same.\n\nAgain, when the berry is filling, chiefly from June to August, a long drought may prevent the filling, and thereby greatly diminish the crop. A cursory observer, passing through a coffee district during the flowering time, seeing every plantation white with its jessamine blossoms, retires possessed with the impression that there are to be magnificent crops. This idea he hugs and believes because, as he thinks, he has seen the crop on the trees. Sad delusion! It must not only be fairly set, but the bean well filled, before a blossom can ever be reckoned on as safe.\n\nNow both the drawbacks above named—a loss of blossom from unseasonable weather in the spring, and a loss of crop from the failure of the monsoon rains in their season—have fallen to the lot of the Ceylon coffee planter this year, and of course he cannot help crying out.\n\nBut will any one believe him? No. The Colombo merchant first, and the London merchant afterwards, rebut the assertion, and think he is only crying \"wolf\" to suit his own purpose, and to force the market up—and they employ all their influence as a counter lever to press the market down.\n\nNo doubt there is a difficulty in arriving at a certain estimate of the crop of a country like Ceylon, where interests are so divided, dispersed, and detached; where also a considerable quantity of crop is raised by natives, some of whom keep no accounts, while others decline to supply the necessary information.\n\nTHE CASE OF THE \"DOLPHIN\" AT BANGKOK.\n\nTHE Government of the United States and its representatives have generally been so conciliatory and moderate in their intercourse with the nations with which we have relations in the Far East, that it is with no less surprise than regret that we observe the singular deviation from this principle in the case of the Dolphin.\n\nThis vessel, an American schooner, commanded by Captain T. S. ANDREWS, was detained by the Siamese Government in consequence of the non-payment of the firewood-tax, on entering the Patlak Cro-k.\n\nAfter careful perusal of the case, as reported in the Siam Advertiser, we are unable to come to any other conclusion than that the commander of the Dolphin wilfully disregarded the signals of the native tax-collector to stop.\n\nIn his evidence Captain ANDREWS says that he could not have stopped her because of her headway and the strength of the tide—a statement which contrasts strangely with the fact that the Siamese (only five or six in number) boarded her, and did actually stop her, and anchor her there and then.\n\nNo sort of violence seems to have been used on either side. Even Captain ANDREWS, who represents himself as being so very much aggrieved by the \"seizure of his ship, and who went on shore at once, \"intending to go to the United States Consul,\" did not carry out that reasonable intention, but stopped at a rice mill, from which he returned on board his own ship with two gentlemen and a lady!\n\nThus reinforced, Captain ANDREWS—this is his own statement—secured the officer who had boarded his vessel, and then went to his house and asked for his wife, who was, fortunately for her, from home.\n\nThis, as we have mentioned, is Captain ANDREWS's own statement. The charge against him, we should also state, was that he attempted to seize and carry off the officer, his wife, and children.\n\nThat he had recaptured his ship, which was seized for firewood-tax, was another and separate charge.\n\nIt is also matter of dispute whether the United States flag was flying on the schooner at the time she was summoned, and stopped.\n\nIt is however clear that no serious inconvenience was caused to anybody—though it is not explained why the wood-tax was not accounted for—and we are therefore greatly surprised to find that the United States Government should have despatched the corvette Iroquois to Siam for \"an explanation.\"\n\nOf course we all know what this means—and the Siamese Government, under pressure of this very convincing reason for giving way, tried the case, and condemned themselves, or their officials, to pay $100 to Captain ANDREWS who, we may presume, congratulates himself on a small triumph.\n\nSuch, however, we think our readers will agree not exceed 500,000 cwt., while others believed it would at least be 800,000 cwt.\n\nThe highest of these, however, would be still 200,000 cwt. below the average of the past five years, or just 20 per cent. But all were agreed that they would be short.\n\nStill it appears not to have been believed in London—for reports continued to come out to Ceylon, \"Large shipments from Brazil,\" \"Fall in Continental markets,\" \"Reduce limits,\" \"Price down 2s. to 3s.,\" &c., &c.\n\nNow this seems to be a species of short-sighted suicidal policy which always defeats its own end.\n\nThe season is finished now, and no doubt a good many fingers are itching for the profits that could have been made had they gone in boldly and bought at the market figures a few months ago.\n\nSo far back as August last, while the London market was being borne down, we warned buyers that the crop would soon close; and that we doubted then if it would exceed 750,000 cwt.\n\nThe commercial season ended on 30th September, and the total export did not exceed 758,000 cwt.! This is very nearly a quarter of a million hundredweights under the average production.\n\nOther coffee-producing countries were also proportionally short, as the following figures show:—\n\nBrazil deficiency ... 1,000,000 cwt.\n\nJava deficiency ... 800,000 cwt.\n\nCeylon deficiency... 250,000 cwt.\n\nTotal 2,050,000 cwt.\n\nThis is without reckoning India, which was also short. It is also irrespective of the West Indian colonies, which are likely to have suffered from the same influences as those that affected Brazil.\n\nThis is a lamentable deficiency, and the fact is deplorable as regards those who must be the chief sufferers—the growers of the article.\n\nIt is a fact, nevertheless, which must be looked in the face, and should be kept steadily in view by those who contemplate investing either in the produce in question, or in the description of property that yields it.\n\nThe removal of the duty in America, too, ought to advantage the grower and the exporter; for, although the abolition of that duty extends only to coffee imported in American bottoms, still America must have a certain quantity of coffee; and even if she import this quantity all from Brazil, and does not take an ounce of Ceylon coffee from Europe, whatever quantity she so receives, relieves the European market to that extent.\n\nWe understand that the appointment of Mr. ALBERT COATES, a partner in the firm of Messrs. KER and Co., as acting Consul at Manila, during the absence of Mr. Rickett, has been approved by the Foreign-office.\n\nThe Consulate at Saigon is still represented by Mr. HAUSCHILD, a partner in Messrs. W G. HALE and Co., and no appointment for a fixed paid Consul can be made, until the cost has been passed in the next estimates.\n\nAs the non-receipt at Brindisi of letters from England, often causes annoyance to passengers proceeding to the East by the Italian route, we think it well to notify that, although the India and China mail does not leave London until Friday evening, letters intended to catch passengers at Brindisi should be posted for the Wednesday evening mail.\n\n813\n\nIt need hardly be said that the British Colonies have never received any immigrants from Macao, but always obtained them, under proper restrictions, from Hong Kong or the Treaty ports.\n\nThe Macao traffic, although it promised to be one of the best correctives of the evils complained of, had to be abandoned, while the Macao traffic is still vigorously carried on.\n\nThe following fact illustrates the working of the immigration.\n\nOn the 4th of September last the steamship Exmore left British Guiana, with over 600 immigrants (including children) on board, returning to their native country, India or China.\n\nThey carried with them property in cash and jewellery, which, divided among the adults, shows an average of more than £50 sterling per head.\n\nNow these people came to the colony as indentured immigrants, and were employed in agricultural labour.\n\nWhen their first contracts ran out, they either re-engaged or employed themselves in other ways by which they could make money.\n\nAt the end of ten years the Indian coolies became entitled to a free return passage, and they went back, not destitute and miserable, as when they found themselves on board ship bound for the colony, but independent and manly in their bearing, and possessed of an amount of wealth that the English agricultural labourer rarely obtains after a whole lifetime of painful toil.\n\nThe British Consul at Havana writing on the subject says:—\n\nChinese labour has not been altogether a success in Cuba. On some small sugar estates, and among the tobacco-fields, the Chinese coolie does well enough; but he cannot work as hard as the negro, nor indeed as the Indian coolie used to work on Jamaica estates.\n\nMost of the Chinese brought to Cuba are at the lowest and feeblest type of the inferior races, such as swarm about Macao, Batavia, and Singapore, &c., and they are rarely of sinewy frame, nor much physical strength; nor have they the endurance of the Indian coolie.\n\nChinese immigration, as it is carried on here, is so faulty that it can never lead to a successful colonisation of Cuba.\n\nThe mistaken policy of the Government, as exhibited in the treatment of these colonists, must end in their refusal to come here.\n\nThe condition of obligatory and continuous servitude to which they are now subjected, if they desire to remain in Cuba, after the completion of their primitive contract, is tantamount to slavery; and it is contrary to common sense to suppose that free men will voluntarily submit to it.\n\nThe Chinese emigrant, therefore, to be induced to come here, must either do so in a fit of desperation, or he must be imposed upon; and a traffic which is based upon deceit, and which subjects him to life-long drudgery under the worst of systems, can scarcely be designated by any other name than that of Slave Trade.\n\nTHE Japanese Ambassadors with their suite, accompanied by General ALEXANDER, Sir HARRY PARKES, and Mr. ASTON, returned to London on the 9th, too late, however, for the banquet at Guildhall, to which they had been invited.\n\nThey will take their leave of Her MAJESTY next week, and leave for Paris, making a tour through France, and thence proceed to Germany and Russia.\n\nTHE report in China that the steamers of the Messageries Company were likely to call at Naples, on their way to Marseilles is incorrect; the statement that the steamers of this company and of the P. and O. Company would call at Nagasaki is also incorrect.\n\nThe Time-tables for 1873 will shortly be issued.\n\nADMIRAL DUPRE, Governor of Cochin China, who, as stated in our last issue, has left France on his return to Saigon, is the bearer of a letter from M. THIERS to the King of SIAM, in reply to the congratulations of the latter to the President of the Republic.\n\nVISCOUNT BRENIER DE MONTMORAND, formerly Consul-General for France at Shanghai, has been appointed Minister Plenipotentiary to Chili.\n\nTHE COOLIE TRADE.\n\nIt cannot be denied that proper regulations, which will prevent vagrancy, and which will organise labour, are absolutely necessary in Cuba, where there are labourers of distinct races and conditions; but these regulations should all have a decided tendency towards preparing these classes for speedy and complete emancipation.\n\nThe law of 28th June, 1870, does not hasten the freedom of the slaves in this island.\n\nIt virtually postpones emancipation for twenty-two years, and, in the meantime, it closes the door to any feasible arrangement for the introduction of free labourers.\n\nThe Chinese under contract here are, with, perhaps, a very few exceptions, treated pretty much as slaves, and with the compulsory engagements now before them, or the sorry alternative of seeking a home elsewhere, there can be no inducement for them to come here.\n\nIf they are treated in such a manner when everything should be done by the Spanish Government to further free emigration to Cuba, it would appear as if no means were left untried to render such emigration unpalatable and repulsive.\n\nBy the mail just received from the West Indies we have the account of another departure from Demerara of time-expired coolies.\n\nThe Rohilla, of London, was embarking 257 men, 79 women, 31 boys, 23 girls, 16 infants—total 406; Chinese, 21 men, 22 women, 6 boys, 6 girls, 3 infants—total 58; grand total, 464.\n\nThe money deposited by the coolies in the Immigration Office for transmission to Calcutta amounted to £47,642.64.\n\nBesides this there was the usual quantity of personal jewellery, amounting in value to a considerable sum.\n\nSIAM.\n\nTHE Committee of the Diplomatic and Consular Enquiry had before them for examination Mr. HENRY ALABASTER, who served for many years in the Consulate at Bangkok as Interpreter, Vice-Consul, and for a short time as Acting Consul, and in the latter capacity he so displeased the Foreign Office in his conduct towards the Siamese that he is now practically discharged from the service.\n\nThe Secretary of the West India Committee has addressed a letter to The Times, in which he says:—\n\nThe stoppage of Chinese immigration in 1866 requires a word of explanation.\n\nIt occurred, not because the Chinese Government withdrew its permission, or was dissatisfied with the treatment of the immigrants, but because it was induced to impose certain provisions which would have greatly increased the expense of the immigration.\n\nIn his evidence he states that the Staff at Bangkok is unnecessarily large, that a Consul, a Vice-Consul, at from £500 rising to £800, and one Assistant, at £250 rising to £400, would be a sufficient staff without Student Interpreters.\n\nThat a medical officer was not now necessary, although very essential in the early days of the Consulate.\n\nSir CHARLES DILKE, one of the Committee, asked:—\n\n1101\n\nNov. 18, 1872.\n\nTHE LONDON AND CHINA TELEGRAPH.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-159 - Sir Kennedy - 1872 [9-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 290971, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-163 - Sir Kennedy - 1873 [4-6]", "page_number": 138, "title": "CO129-163 - Sir Kennedy - 1873 [4-6]", "content_text": "Hongkong, 19th March, 1873.\n\nActing Surveyor General to Acting Colonial Secretary, Con.

THE GOVERNOR RESPECTING THE CONDUCT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE DURING THE LATE TYPHOON\n\nTHE following is the text of the memorial forwarded to H.E. the Governor by the Residents who condemn Capt. Deane's action during the late typhoon.\n\nHONGKONG, 5th October, 1874.\n\nTo His Excellency,\n**SIR ARTHUR EDWARD KENNEDY, K.C.M.G., C.B. Governor of Hongkong &c. &c. &c.**\n\nMAY IT PLEASE YOUR EXCELLENCY,\n\nWe, the undersigned inhabitants of Hongkong, humbly beg to lay before your Excellency the following statement.\n\nThat on the night of the 22nd and the morning of the 23rd ultimo, a Typhoon of unprecedented violence did much destruction to life and property in this City and Harbour.\n\nAmong the many casualties of that dreadful night, two of the most remarkable are the wrecks of the steamers Albay and Leonor.\n\nBy the mercy of Providence, and the humane exertions of some private citizens, the crew of the Albay were saved from death, but although the Leonor sank only about fifty yards from the shore, nearly 100 persons perished, and only about 12 were saved from the ship.\n\nBefore the Leonor was wrecked, it was reported at the Central Police Station to the Captain Superintendent of Police, that a number of men had been rescued from the Albay, and that another steamer was coming on shore, but although there were a large number of available men at the Station, the Captain Superintendent refused to allow any of them to go out to render assistance.\n\nAt the time when the Police were thus confined to the barracks, they were also much needed to repress robbers who were plundering shops and warehouses, which had been broken open in various parts of the town and particularly on the Praya.\n\nDuring the height of the storm, a house in the Chinese portion of the City caught fire.\n\nThe circumstance was reported to the Captain Superintendent of Police, who not only refused to send any assistance, but declined to allow the Fire Alarm Bell to be rung, and he also failed to inform the Superintendent and the Assistant Superintendents of the Fire Brigade, Messrs. C. May and J. Russell, that a fire had broken out, though it was his duty to do so at once.\n\nFortunately, Mr. C. V. Creagh, the other Assistant Superintendent, was present when the report was made, and, aid having been refused, he went alone to the Fire Engine Station and, with the help of a few volunteers, mostly private individuals, after much difficulty, the fire was subdued.\n\nThis colony pays a large sum annually for the maintenance of the Police Force and the Fire Brigade, for the protection of the lives and property of its Citizens, and it is grievously disappointing to find that, in an emergency, when lives were being lost by thousands in the Harbour and the whole City was threatened with a conflagration, the Chief of the Police not only was inactive himself, but withheld others from rendering that assistance which they were able and willing to give.\n\nHad timely aid been given, it is very possible that many of those who perished in the Leonor might have been saved, and valuable assistance might have been given in other quarters; and this inference is strengthened by what took place at the various outlying Police Stations both on this island and at Kowloong, where the detachments, not being checked from exertion, behaved in a manner which merits the gratitude and praise of the whole community. The names of Inspectors Burns, Grimes, and Youngson have come prominently forward among those who were most active in saving life.\n\nThe conduct of the Police at the Out-stations thus affords a gratifying proof of the willingness of the men to do their duty nobly, where they were not restricted by the orders of their chief.\n\nOur confidence in the discretion and wisdom with which the Police Force is directed has thus been seriously shaken, and we therefore pray that, in view of the circumstances herein set forth, Your Excellency will be pleased to institute a Public Inquiry into these matters, that the truth may be more fully known.\n\nWe have the honor to be Your Excellency's most obedient humble Servants,\n\nSigned by:- Jas.

BOWETT.\n\nCOLONIAL SECRETARY'S OFFICE,\nHongkong, 13th October, 1874.\n\nSIR, --I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 8th Inst., and to acquaint you in reply that the allegations contained in the Petition which accompanied it have been the subject of careful investigation by His Excellency the Governor, who has failed to discover sufficient grounds to justify the institution of a public enquiry into the conduct of the Captain Superintendent of Police.\n\nI have also the honor to inform you that, whilst deeply regretting that any portion of the community should have had their confidence in the direction of the Police Force shaken, His Excellency feels it incumbent upon him to state that at no time in the history of the Colony has the character and efficiency of the Police stood higher.\n\nI have the honor to be, Sir,\nYour most obedient Servant,\nJ. GARDINER AUSTIN,\nColonial Secretary.\n\n## Editorial from The Hongkong Times\n\nTHE HONGKONG TIMES,\nOctober 1st, 1874.\n\nIN THE MATTER OF CAPTAIN DEANE.\n\nWE ARE extremely gratified at being able to place before our readers the official correspondence that has taken place with reference to Captain Deane's conduct during the late typhoon. By those letters, we are enabled to grasp the subject in all its bearings; for our own part, we are exactly of the same opinion now as we were before we knew anything whatever of the correspondence going on. We disagree from the ideas of the Honourable Mr. Rowett altogether, but we do not fail to thoroughly appreciate that gentleman's motives in undertaking to try and rectify what he thought was wrong. We do not consider Captain Deane to be impeccable; and, at different times, we have raised a voice against both his action and his inaction when we thought he merited a little censure, but, in this instance, we consider him free of fault and we certainly intend to uphold his behaviour against which the Honble. Mr. Rowett and some others of the Colonists complain.\n\nThat unfortunate fire business has, however, yet to be explained. There is a vast deal of difference between trying to oppose a typhoon and attempting to put out a fire, and unless Captain Deane can give good reasons for not assisting at the conflagration, it will become the painful duty of the Governor to take him to task on this score.\n\n## Correspondence between Hon. R. Rowett and Hon. J. G. Austin\n\nTHE HON. R. ROWETT TO HON. J. G. AUSTIN,\n\nHong Kong, 23rd September, 1874.\n\nMY DEAR MR. AUSTIN,—Permit me to bring the following circumstances to your consideration in connection with the typhoon of last night.\n\nAt a little before one o'clock this morning, the steamer `Albay`, from Manila, came ashore on the Praya, inside Douglas Lapraik & Co.'s wharf, and just opposite my office. The typhoon was at its worst at the time. Loud cries were heard coming from the ship, when lights were displayed and a rope was thrown on board.\n\nThe Captain, officers, crew and passengers, to the number of 40 in all, were thus enabled to get on shore, and were placed for shelter in the Engine House of the Hongkong Fire Insurance Company. The Captain stated that when he arrived in port last evening, there were 400 persons, all told, on board his vessel.\n\nThese facts were reported at the Central Police Station, by Mr. A. P. McEwen, at about 1.30 a.m., and a statement was taken down in writing, by Captain Superintendent Deane, who, instead of sending assistance to the shipwrecked men refused to allow any of the Police to turn out, on the ground of its being dangerous for them to leave their quarters in such weather; and this, notwithstanding the fact of which he was also informed by Mr. McEwen, viz., that another steamer was coming on shore at the time he left the Praya.\n\nMr. McEwen then returned to the scene of the wreck, and, together with Lieutenant Prior of H.M. 80th Regiment, and Mr. G. W. Baird, once more went to the Police Station, with 30 of the shipwrecked men, the Captain of the `Albay` and his three officers remaining at the engine house. The men, who were all natives of Manila or Malays, except two European passengers, were then taken care of by the police for the night.\n\nMy object in drawing your attention to these facts is to enquire whether you do not consider that it is the duty of the police to be alert in moments of great public danger, and whether it would not have been more in accordance with the object the Government have in maintaining such a force, that they should have been sent wherever their aid might have been needed to save life or property, than that they should have been kept in barracks, while private individuals were able and willing to assist their suffering fellow creatures at some risk to their own lives?\n\nBelieve me, Yours faithfully,\nR. ROWETT.\n\nCAPT. SUPERINTENDENT DEANE TO HON. J. G. AUSTIN.\n\nVictoria, Hongkong, 24th September, 1874.\n\nIMMEDIATE.\n\nSIR, In reply to H.E. the Governor's minute on C.S.O. No. 2799, I have the honor to report that I did refuse to risk the lives of the Police under my command by ordering them to leave the Barracks in the height of a typhoon at 1 a.m. on the 23rd instant.\n\nMr. Rowett entirely overlooks the fact that the danger did not so much arise to persons living on the Praya going outside their doors to render aid, as to a body of men taken through the streets of the city, when, in the words of a local newspaper, \"the atmosphere was principally composed of tiles, brickbats, jalousies, verandah-beams and foliage.\"\n\nAt 2.30 a.m., however, when the barometer showed that the heaviest blasts of wind had passed, I did turn out the men, and we went over all parts of the town: in some places over our waists in water, and experiencing the greatest difficulty in passing along the roads.\n\nI have further to observe that at least 36 of the crew of the `Albay` had been already saved when the report was made, and that the danger of a second steamer was a mere conjecture.\n\nPage 335", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-168 - Sir Kennedy - 1874 [9-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 294476, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-168 - Sir Kennedy - 1874 [9-12]", "page_number": 444, "title": "CO129-168 - Sir Kennedy - 1874 [9-12]", "content_text": "# HONGKONG.\n\n## STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES.\n\n### 1ST JANUARY 1870, ESTIMATED. \n### 1ST JANUARY 1874, ACTUAL. \n### 1ST JULY 1874, ACTUAL. \n### 1ST JANUARY 1875, ESTIMATED.\n\n| | 1ST JANUARY 1870, ESTIMATED | 1ST JANUARY 1874, ACTUAL | 1ST JULY 1874, ACTUAL | 1ST JANUARY 1875, ESTIMATED |\n|----------|-----------------------------|--------------------------|--------------------------|-------------------------------|\n| **ASSETS** | | | | |\n| es deposited in Banks at interest | | $180,000 | 00 | $180,000 | 00 | $180,000 | 00 |\n| Currency | | | | |\n| LIABILITIES | | | | |\n| Deposits not available | | $41,093 | 55 | $49,000 | 00 | |\n| Refund of overpaid Taxes | | $1,907 | 16 | | | |\n| per Currency | | $11,000 | 00 | $4,000 | 00 | |\n| General Post Office, London | | $7,092 | 80 | $2,486 | 91 | $8,050 | 31 |\n| Cash in Bank at Current Account | | $112,169 | 07 | $40,818 | 15 | $20,000 | 00 |\n| Balance in hands of Crown Agents | | | $50,646 | 71 | $42,530 | 7 |\n| Bills not matured | | $268,252 | 07 | $54,334 | 11 | $220,818 | 15 |\n| Pensions due | | $3,400 | 00 | $3,400 | 00 | $3,400 | 00 |\n| Pensions due to ex-Police Constables | | $2,400 | 00 | $2,000 | 00 | $2,000 | 00 |\n| Subsidiary Coins, in course of Transmission | | | | |\n| Balance due by Government of India (Calcutta) | | $28,414 | 63 | | | $48,000 | 00 |\n| Arrears of Rents and other sums to be recovered | | $604 | 05 | $309 | 32 | |\n| Military Contribution | | $24,181 | 36 | $24,000 | 00 | $24,000 | 00 |\n| Expenditure in Arrears | | $504 | 25 | $400 | 00 | |\n| **Total Liabilities** | | $130,627 | 47 | $141,030 | 77 | $154,400 | 00 |\n| Taxes in Arrears | | $329,400 | 65 | $42,562 | 80 | $330,755 | 31 |\n| **Total Assets** | | $365,903 | 45 | $404,724 | 75 | $218,055 | 25 | $40,000 | 00 |\n| **Balance to the Credit of the Colony** | | $235,335 | 98 | $262,793 | 08 | $103,055 | 25 | |\n| **Total** | | $365,963 | 45 | $404,724 | 75 | $258,055 | 25 | |\n\n4.

For this reception, more especially for the reception in Hongkong, I am grateful, as I know my friends and countrymen at home are grateful for the kindness that I have been honoured with during the last two years. I do not know that I can say anything better, nor anything which is nearer to my heart, now that I am leaving the British Empire, than to ask you all to unite in this sentiment: The perpetual friendship and alliance of the two great English-speaking nations of the world-England and America.\"\n\nThe General's toast was drunk by all the guests upstanding. Soon after, the ladies retired to the large drawing room, and at ten o'clock General Grant, the Governor, and the Aide-de-Camp, with Mrs Grant and Mrs Hennessy, proceeded to the vestibule, where every person on arrival was received and presented to the General by the Governor. These presentations lasted for more than an hour.\n\nThe guests on arriving were met in the hall by the Governor, and were presented to His Excellency by Major Palmer, A.D.C.; the Governor presented his guests to General Grant; Mr C. V. Creagh presented them to Mrs Hennessy, by whom they were introduced to Mrs Grant.\n\n## The Reception\n\nThe Government House grounds were brilliantly illuminated. On both sides of the numerous walks, slight bamboo frames had been erected, and cords, invisible to the eye unless carefully looked for, ran from one to the other all the way round, one cord three feet, another six, from the ground. Every four feet or so a Chinese lantern was suspended from the cords, these being fixed alternatingly on the high and low line. The effect was brilliant and beautiful and striking in the extreme, and the large company seemed greatly to prefer roaming about amid those thousand lights to staying in the Reception rooms. The Governor and Mrs Hennessy walked round frequently amid their numerous guests, His Excellency with Mrs Grant, and General Grant with Mrs Hennessy. The American Star, a large design in gas, on the north side of Government House, was greatly admired. The fairy-like beauty of the scene could scarcely have been enhanced. The lovely dresses of the ladies, the bright and varied uniforms of the officers of different nationalities present, the delightful music of the band, the merry laughter coming from various groups in different portions of the grounds, altogether made up a pleasing, lively and beautiful scene. It was not till nearly midnight that the company began to thin, and by a few minutes after that hour the guests had departed, the visitors were indoors, the lamps \"burnt low, and silence and darkness again assumed their sway. The gathering was in every way most successful, and every one seemed heartily to enter into the spirit of the occasion, and honour the General they had been invited to meet.\n\nThe following programme was performed by the band of Her Majesty's 37th Regt. (Inniskillings) under the direction of Herr Werner, during the course of the evening:\n| No. | Piece | Composer |\n|----|-------|----------|\n| 1 | Overture, Emma di Rosborgo | Meyerbeer |\n| 2 | Quadrille, American | Julien |\n| 3 | Selection, Beatrice di Tenda | Bellini |\n| 4 | Valse, London Society | Coote |\n| 5 | Selection, Irish Airs | Godfrey |\n| 6 | Polka, Lieb und Treu | Welcker |\n\nThe following officials and others were invited to the Reception:\n\nBishop Burdon, Bishop Raimondi, the Hon. the Colonial Secretary, Hon.

Vega, His Excellency Major-General Donovan and Mrs. Donovan, Chief Justice Sir John Smale and Lady Smale, Commodore Smith, R.N., Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Marsh, Mrs. Pollock, Hon. J. Russell, Hon. P.

Nordquist (Vega), Lieut. Hovgaard (Vega), Dr. Stuxberg (Vega), Lieut. Drummond, A.D.C. to the General, and Mr. C. V. Creagh, Acting A.D.C. to the Governor.\n\nThe following, to whom invitations had been sent, were unable to attend -- Right Rev. Bishop and Mrs. Burdon, Right Rev. Bishop Raimondi, Hon. W. Keswick, and Col., Mrs., and Miss Hall. The band of the 27th Regiment was in attendance and played the following selection, under the direction of Herr Werner, bandmaster: Overture... \"Fra Diavolo\" Auber, Polka \"O Katchke\" Stasey, \"Swedish Air\" Anon., Selection \"Beatrice di Tenda\" Bellini, Valse \"First Roses\" Werner, Jun., Reminiscences of Ireland... Godfrey.\n\nAt the close of the dinner His Excellency the Governor proposed the toast of \"The Queen,\" which was most loyally received, the band playing the National Anthem.\n\nImmediately afterwards His Excellency rose and said- Professor Nordenskiöld: In the name of my Sovereign, Queen Victoria, I have the honour to welcome you and your companions to Her Majesty's dominions.\n\nSix centuries ago Marco Polo came from Europe to China. Two centuries later, the Portuguese crossed the Indian Ocean, entered these seas, and landed within a few miles of this Island, and subsequently the direct voyage across the Pacific was undertaken. The nineteenth century can now add to the roll of its triumphs the fourth and final route from Europe to Asia. It is our privilege to-night to behold the illustrious man who has done this-who left Europe fifteen months ago and is received by us after sailing through the Arctic Seas and accomplishing the North East passage. No generation to come can witness the completion of a voyage rivalling this. We be bold as it were in this remote outpost of Europe the writing of the last words in the last chapter of heroic maritime discovery.\n\nI congratulate the Sovereign of Sweden on the gallantry and success of His Majesty's sailors, led by Captain Palander and the officers of the Vega; I congratulate that great republic - the World of Science - on the achievement of one of her choicest citizens, Professor Nordenskiöld. Ladies and gentlemen, let us drink his health and that of his companions.\n\nHis Excellency's toast was received with enthusiasm, and the band played the Swedish National Air.\n\nProfessor Nordenskiold then rose and replied in Swedish. He has favoured us with the following translation: I have to thank your Excellency, on behalf of my comrades and myself, for the kind words you have used in proposing our healths, and the ladies and gentlemen present for the kind manner in which they have received the toast. Already to-day, in another place, I have had to thank the Inhabitants of Hongkong for the handsome way in which the Swedish expedition has been received in this Colony, and I then stated our visit here would be one of the pleasantest remembrances of the Vega's voyage. To your Excellency's guests on the present occasion I beg to repeat the same thing, but especially I have to thank your Excellency for the munificent hospitality you have extended to myself and Captain Palander at Government House, where we have been guests during our stay here. I now beg to propose the health of His Excellency the Governor and Mrs. Hennessy.\n\nThis toast was duly honoured.\n\n## Reception\n\nHis Excellency the Governor and Mrs. Hennessy held an \"at home\" and a brilliant and numerously attended reception after dinner, in honour of their distinguished guests.

B. Dennery\n\n23 July, 1881.\n\n3.\n\nOverland China Mail.\n\nHONGKONG, THURSDAY, MAY 26, 1881.\n\n\"To the Hon. WILLIAM KESWICK.\n\n\"Sir, The subscribers to the accompanying testimonial have confided to us the duty of its presentation, and in their names and our own of saying to you a few words of farewell. The numerous signatures appearing on the appended subscription lists, representing every class and race of this community, will afford you the best testimony of the wide-spread appreciation entertained of your public career, but it will not be out of place for us to pass in brief retrospect some of the more eminent services you have rendered the Colony.\n\n\"Chief among these stands the able and straightforward performance of your duties in the Legislative Council, where you have for so many years held a seat. In a Crown Colony, the position of an Unofficial Member of this Council is full of discouragement; having no power of initiation, and with the certainty before him of being outvoted if in opposition, his task is limited to criticism of the schemes of the Government. Your labours in this direction have been of the highest importance and utility, and more especially as a guardian of the public purse the ability you have unflinchingly maintained cannot, we think, be very well over-estimated.\n\nThe little leisure which the pressing responsibilities of a large Mercantile House have left you, you have ungrudgingly bestowed on many other public affairs.

The numerous signatures appearing in the appended subscription lists, representing every class and race of this community, will afford you the best testimony of the wide-spread appreciation entertained of your public career, but it will not be out of place for us to pass in brief retrospect some of the more eminent services you have rendered the Colony.\n\nChief among these stands the able and straightforward performance of your duties in the Legislative Council, where you have for so many years held a seat. In a Crown Colony the position of an Unofficial Member of this Council is full of discouragement; having no power of initiation, and with the certainty before him of being outvoted if in opposition, his task is limited to criticism of the schemes of the Government. Your labours in this direction have been of the highest importance and utility, and more especially as a guardian of the public purse the attitude you have unflinchingly maintained cannot, we think, be very well over-estimated.\n\nThe little leisure which the pressing responsibilities of a large Mercantile House have left you, you have ungrudgingly bestowed on many other public affairs. As Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce your wide experience and knowledge of business have been of the highest value. The City Hall owes much to your care and attention. Schemes of charity and for the assistance of the poor or friendless have ever found in you a real sympathiser; and there are but few institutions organised in this Colony for humane or charitable purposes that have not profited by your liberal aid and advice.\n\nNot less worthy of mention have been your services to many of those Public Companies with which much the prosperity of the Colony has now become identified. To your power of labour, business capacity, and grasp of detail, these important concerns are in no small degree indebted for the prosperity they enjoy; and it is no slight to others to say that probably to you more prominently than any one else, is due the confidence which joint-stock enterprise now enjoys in the Far East.\n\nWe now beg to bid you farewell, and with every wish for your enjoyment of your well-earned holiday, we remain, your sincere friends,\n\nE.

The Japan Gazette supplies the following summary of the events of the interval :--\n\nIntense anxiety is said to pervade the councils of the Imperial Government at the condition of the nation and her resources. Paper remains at a severe discount, without prospect of improvement as hope of possible redemption daily grows less. This country, despite the lofty tone of independence assumed by some of the ministers and the larger portion of the Press, depends entirely for relief from existing pressure and inevitable bankruptcy to the extension of her trade. That course, however, would entail the abolition of numerous monopolies, and the monopolists who have grown fat and waxed rich at the expense of the nation are girding up their loins for a desperate struggle. Their fate is, however, assured. Japan's misfortunes may prove her salvation by awakening her rulers to the folly and wickedness of the obstructive commercial policy they have so long maintained. The rock upon which the vessel of State will split is the paper currency.\n\nThe prosecution of the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation at the suit of the Imperial Customs for having unlawfully attempted to ship gold bullion concealed in cases of silver coin, heard in Kobe, is likely to be revived. An application was made for a special case for H. M. Court for Japan, which was granted and stated by Mr. Acting Consul Aston. The defendants demurred, on the grounds that no appeal could be made by the prosecutor from the decision of a provincial court acting in summary criminal jurisdiction, or that, if an appeal does lie it must be to the Supreme Court for China and Japan and not to this Court. Mr. Acting Judge Robertson gave his decision on Jan. 3, overruling the defendant's demurrers, and holding that the provincial court was right in stating a special case and that this Court had jurisdiction. This decision is clearly stated, and is regarded as consonant with the principles of justice and reason.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-206 - Public Offices & Others - 1882.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 321265, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-207 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1883 [1-3]", "page_number": 642, "title": "CO129-207 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1883 [1-3]", "content_text": "A\n\n039\n\nSub Manager, Hongkong and Shanghai Bank\n\nJ.

W. H. Marsh, C.M.G., at Government House. The presentation was made by the Hon. P. Ryrie, who was accompanied by upwards of eighty of the signatories, representatives of every class and nationality in the Colony being present.\n\nHon. P. RYRIE, in making the presentation, said—Your Excellency, the pleasing duty has been assigned to me of presenting to you a numerously signed address from the community of this Colony. When I state that this has been a spontaneous movement on the part of all classes in the colony, I state what is absolute fact. I believe that I may be considered the oldest British resident in the Colony, and during the period of my stay here, I have taken part in a good many demonstrations of this kind, and I can truly say that I have never seen more anxiety displayed by its inhabitants to testify by their signatures the feelings they entertained of your high abilities as the head of its executive. (Applause). The address, as you will observe, is numerously signed by all nationalities, but there are still a number of gentlemen anxious to join it who from press of time have not had an opportunity of doing so. With your kind permission their signatures can be appended hereafter. (Applause.) I shall now, with your permission, proceed to read the address:\n\nTo HIS EXCELLENCY THE HONOURABLE WILLIAM HENRY MARSH, C.M.G., THE OFFICER ADMINISTERING THE GOVERNMENT OF HONGKONG, &c., &c., &c.\n\nSIR, We, the undersigned non-official members of the Legislative Council, Justices of the Peace, Members of Professions, Merchants, Bankers, and Residents in Hongkong, desire to convey to Your Excellency on the approaching termination of your Administration of the affairs of the Colony an expression of our esteem and regard as well as of our sense of the admirable and effective manner in which you have discharged the duties of your high position.\n\nThe vigour which has been displayed in every department of your Government, the introduction of numerous measures of useful legislation, and the rapidity with which urgently required public works have been promoted and pushed forward within the short period during which you have held office, make evident to us the eminent capacity for affairs which you possess, while the equal administration of executive authority dispensed by you without fear or favour and with a steadfast regard to the public welfare has inspired all classes of our mixed population with complete confidence in the firmness and justice of your rule.\n\nYou have made Government House the centre of social attraction by the liberal and graceful hospitality which has been accorded to the community.\n\nWe are pleased to learn that the Public Service of the Colony will not be deprived for some time to come of your valuable co-operation and that you will resume your former post as Colonial Secretary. We trust that when you do leave us it will be on the occasion of your appointment to higher office under the Crown to which your long and able public career have so well qualified you.\n\nWith the assurance of our profound respect. We have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient servants,\n\n[Signatures follow]\n\nP. Ryrie\n\nF. Hugeloy Johnson\n\nE. R. Belilios\n\nAlfred Lefeber\n\nWm. Danby\n\nJohn Thurburn\n\nS.

Price, Surveyor-General, to the public letter addressed to him in reference to the recent libel case and published in our columns on Tuesday. The reply is addressed to the Hon. F. B. Johnson, who sent in the public letter :- \n\nPublic Works Department, Hongkong, 18th December, 1883. My dear Sir,—I desire to tender my grateful acknowledgments to you, and through yourself to the large number of gentlemen who have been good enough to address me in the terms of the letter which you forwarded to me yesterday. \n\nConscious that I have never been actuated except by a strict sense of duty in all my official acts during the ten years that I have devoted to the public service of the colony, and that in the administration of the Department with which I have the honour to be connected, I have always endeavoured to do the best for the interests of the public, according to \n\n17 F abilities, whatever these may be worth, it has been very gratifying to me to find that \n\nso important a portion of my fellow colonists should have given no credence to the imputations of unworthy motives so persistently made \n\nby private malice in connection with nearly every act of my official life, and that their confidence in my personal character and in my ability to continue usefully serving the colony, should have remained unshaken. It is a great honour to a Government servant to be the recipient of a public testimonial couched in the language of the one you have been good enough to transmit to me, I am very sensible of that honour, and find it difficult to express adequately my appreciation of the kindly feeling that has prompted this manifestation of good will on the part of so many whose opinions I estimate so highly. I need scarcely add that the document will be valued by me as the pleasantest memorial of my life in China. \n\nAlthough it is true that in the position I was recently called upon to take I was \n\ndischarging \n\n233", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-213 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1883 [12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 324726, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-214 - Public Offices & Others - 1883", "page_number": 759, "title": "CO129-214 - Public Offices & Others - 1883", "content_text": "740\n\n* spread of venereal diseases has been checked or prevented or its type modified by the operation of the Brothel Law?\n\nsuch a distinct and carefully worded verdict against the value of the medical provisions of the Hong Kong Ordinance, when considered side by side with their abandonment in more than two thirds of the licensed houses out of deference to a hostile feeling towards the medical inspection on the part of the native population we should have supposed would have formed sufficient reason for the entire abandonment of the licensing system But we find with regret and astonishment that Lord Kimberley has chosen deliberately and after remonstrance in the name of the Queen to maintain this despotic and impure legislation.

That this idea of \"protecting the inmates is as illusory\n\nas the original idea of \"protecting\" from disease the immoral men who frequent the brothels holding the license of the Government\n\nbe learned from a letter addressed by the late Governor of Hong Kong to Lord Kimberley in June 1881.\n\nJune 1881 giving special information upon this very question - He she quotes the testimony of Mr. Smith, formerly Registrar General of the Colony \"There is another matter connected with the brothels licensed and unlicensed in Hong Kong which almost daily assumes a graver aspect - I refer to what is no less than the trafficking in human flesh between the brothel keepers and the \"runners\" of the colony. Women are bought and sold in nearly every brothel in the place. They are induced by specious pretexts to \"come to Hong Kong, and then, after they are admitted into the brothels, such a system of espionage is kept over them, and so frightened do they get as to prevent any application to the \"police\"\n\nHis Excellency then goes on to say\n\n\"the important question whether or not the condition of a woman once sold into virtual slavery was in any way ameliorated by the Ordinance of 1867. As regards this point I am \"disposed to say that the Ordinance No 12 of 1867 by giving larger powers to the Registrar General and thereby indirectly to the inspectors with whom the practical working of the \"Ordinance lies made the condition of the unfortunate women sold to the keeper of a licensed brothel worse than it was \"before\"\"The demand of Lord Kimberley for stricter control\": has thus a sorrowful light cast upon it by the sad experience of the unfortunate women concerned after larger power had formerly been granted.\n\nyour\n\nas most of\n\nIn approaching your Lordship upon the occasion of your assuming the duties of Colonial Minister of the Crown\n\nMemorialists have culled illustrations of the working of the system from one of the Colonies in the Administration of which your Lordship exercises large power. - But, familiar as we are with the operations of licensed prostitution in other dependencies of the Crown and on the Continent of Europe · we are aware that these results are not peculiar to Hong Kong - The recent revelations in Brussels make it clear that the licensing of houses of ill-fame gives rise in Belgium to a slavery of which even English subjects have been the victims as horrible as anything which has been revealed in Hong Kong - The appeal which Monsieur Lenaers formerly head of the police in Brussels to cable him made a year ago for extended powers to combat the ever increasing tide of immorality, is an almost exact counterpart of Lord Kimberley's claim for stricter control to remedy the condition of affairs\n\nThe result in each place has been the same, heave's oppression corruption, cruelty, practised upon the weak; grosser corruption, increasing demoralization, of the administrators of the system – We would refer you to advocates of the system such as Acton as to the horrible or Parent Duchatelet or Senerus for testimony worse or have a go i an", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-214 - Public Offices & Others - 1883.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 324764, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-215 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1884 [1-4]", "page_number": 24, "title": "CO129-215 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1884 [1-4]", "content_text": "Enclosure. 4.\n\nThe Daily Press.\n\nHONGKONG, JANUARY 5TH, 1884.\n\nMEETING OF THE JUSTICES TO ELECT A MEMBER OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL\n\nA meeting of the Justices of the Peace was held at the City Hall yesterday afternoon to nominate a member of the Legislative Council in accordance with the instructions of His Excellency the Governor, which have already been published. Mr. H. E. Wodehouse, senior Police Magistrate, presided, and there were present :- Voters-Dr. R. Young, Messrs. E. Mackean, H. L. Dalrymple, E. Mackintosh, H. J. H. Tripp, N. J. Ede, W. H. F.

The Chairman also abstained from voting as an official.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN-Gentlemen, I will call upon the clerk to read the notice convening the meeting.\n\nMr. J. PARKER, clerk to the Justices, read the notice, and also the instructions received from the Governor.\n\nThe names of the Justices were then called over, those who were present answering.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN-Gentlemen, I will now ask any of you who have candidates to propose to do so in writing, with the seconder's name added, and hand the papers in to me. In order that the proceedings may be perfectly fair and above board I propose that all the names be handed to me before any remarks are made with regard to the candidates proposed, and I will put them into a hat and take them out one by one indiscriminately and then ask the proposers and seconders to make any remarks on the candidates they may wish.\n\nMr. FRANCIS-As a matter of procedure, Sir, may I venture to suggest to the meeting that, as we cannot all look on while the ballot boxes are being examined, the gentlemen proposing the candidates with the Chairman of the meeting should form a committee of scrutiny to examine the contents of the ballot boxes and notify the result.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN-Will you allow that to stand over for the present until the next step has been taken?\n\nMr. FRANCIS-As you please, Sir.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN-If there is no objection to the course I propose, that will be the next step taken.\n\nThree papers were then handed in, and the first read out was the name of Mr. A. P. MacEwen, proposed by the Hon. F. B. Johnson and seconded by Mr. A. McIver.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN-I now call upon the gentlemen proposing and seconding to offer any remarks they may wish.\n\nHon. F. B. JOHNSON-Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, I have very great pleasure indeed in proposing the name of Mr. Alexander Palmer MacEwen as a very fit and proper person to represent not only this body but the community generally in the Legislative Council of this colony. (Applause).\n\nMr. McIVER-I have very great pleasure in seconding the hon. gentleman's proposition.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN then drew the next paper, containing the name of Mr. E. R. Belilios, proposed by Mr. Ho Kai and seconded by Mr. H. M. Mehta.\n\nMr. Ho KAI-Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, I rise with the greatest pleasure to propose Mr. E. R. Belilios for your nomination as your representative on the Legislative Council. Mr. Belilios is well known to every one of you, since he has been here for a period of over twenty-two years, and he needs no introduction from me. I am sure you all have met him in various public capacities, either as a director, or as a temporary member of the Legislative Council, or as one of the oldest Justices of the Peace, and you have seen him filling all the positions in which he has been placed with a degree of credit and ability which must have won your respect. I need scarcely say anything in his favour except to beg your earnest attention to the fact that notwithstanding many things have been said in favour of brilliant talents and eloquent speech, we must have as our representative member something more than that; we must have a man of long experience, yes, long local experience, and of independent position, one who is not likely to be influenced by any personal considerations, and one who will always strive to do everything in his power to protect the public interests. I have very much pleasure therefore in proposing Mr. E. R. Belilios.\n\nMr. MEHTA-I have very great pleasure in seconding the proposition which has been moved by Dr. Ho Kai.\n\nThe next paper drawn bore the name of Mr. F. D. Sassoon, proposed by Mr. C. P. Chater and seconded by Mr. W. K. Hughes.\n\nMr. CHATER-I have very great pleasure in proposing that Mr. Frederick David Sassoon be nominated by this body to a seat in the Legislative Council. Gentlemen, you are all well acquainted with Mr. Sassoon, and it does not require much from me to put forward his claims. He is the senior partner here in the firm of Messrs. David Sassoon, Sons, and Co., a firm established here ever since the colony was founded. His brothers, the previous partners of his firm, have always been very closely identified with this colony, and have even at the present moment a very large interest in the place. So also has the candidate I bring forward, and I trust he will have a much larger interest in the place before he leaves it.\n\nMr. HUGHES-I beg to second Mr. Chater's proposition.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN-Any gentleman wishing to make any remarks on the several candidates is at liberty to do so.\n\nNo remarks being offered, the CHAIRMAN explained the course to be observed in voting. Three ballot boxes were placed on a table behind a screen in the corner of the room, each bearing the name of one of the candidates in English and Chinese. Each Justice voting was requested to sign his name before going behind the screen, and on doing so received a voting bean to be deposited in the ballot box bearing the name of the candidate for whom he wished to vote.\n\nBefore the voting took place Mr. FRANCIS said-I propose on behalf of the meeting that the gentlemen who propose the candidates act as scrutineers, as we cannot all very well crowd round to look on.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN-I will still ask that that be postponed till the ballot is closed.\n\nMr. FRANCIS-I beg to propose it now, as the proper time.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN-Very well. Are the gentlemen present willing for that?\n\nMr. MACKEAN-I beg to second it.\n\nMr. DANBY-Before that is put to the meeting may I ask if you have any alternative system to propose?\n\nThe CHAIRMAN-As stated in the letter of instructions, I will be guided by the wishes of the Justices. The only point is that I wish we should conduct these proceedings step by step. The motion of Mr. Francis, a very proper one in its way, would come in more fittingly after the voting has been concluded and before the scrutiny commences. What I should have suggested would have been that the gentlemen put their votes in the ballot boxes and put their names on the paper, and when that was done, and before anything further was done with the ballot boxes, that the form of scrutiny be decided upon.\n\nMr. FRANCIS-As you were arranging the method of proceeding I thought you might have it settled at once.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN-It is all settled as far as I am concerned.\n\nPage 22\n\nMr. Francis", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-215 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1884 [1-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 326011, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-217 - Governor Sir Bowen Administrator Marsh - 1884 [7-10]", "page_number": 46, "title": "CO129-217 - Governor Sir Bowen Administrator Marsh - 1884 [7-10]", "content_text": "131\n\n43\n\npaid me a formal visit at the Government House with much pomp and circumstance; being attended by a suite of some thirty Civil Mandarins, and Chinese Naval and Military Officers of various ranks; forming a most picturesque group with gorgeous robes of many colours.

During Sunday a number of small Chinese gunboats arrived in this harbour to meet the new Viceroy, and the Peng Chao Ha, Anton, and two smaller cruisers, met the Kwang Lee outside the harbour, and followed her in. The Kwang Lee was also followed by the Chinese men-of-war Chen Chin, Chai Hai, and Kang Ching, the latter of which is a large corvette and brought 800 troops for Canton. The Chinese gunboats all gave the usual Chinese salute of three guns as the Kwang Lee passed them, and their yards were manned with seamen, while during the morning a dropping fire of three gun salutes was kept going until the new dignitary landed.\n\nThe Acting Colonial Secretary went on board his steamer at 10 a.m. to invite him to pay his respects to His Excellency the Governor. Accordingly, the Viceroy landed at 2.30 p.m. under the customary salutes from the Victor Emmanuel and the Shore Battery, and was received at the Murray Pier by a guard of honour of the Buffs, and by Capt. Lewis, A.D.C. He then proceeded to Government House, accompanied by a suite of about 30 officers and attendants. He was received in the hall by His Excellency the Governor, who was surrounded by Major-General Sargent, C.B.; Commodore Morant, Colonel Crawford, R.A.; Colonel Graves and Colonel Hobson (of the Buffs), and several other Naval and Military officers; and by the Acting Chief Justice.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-217 - Governor Sir Bowen Administrator Marsh - 1884 [7-10].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 326833, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-218 - Administrator Marsh Governor Sir Bowen & Others - 1884 [11-12]", "page_number": 297, "title": "CO129-218 - Administrator Marsh Governor Sir Bowen & Others - 1884 [11-12]", "content_text": "## against the Ort.

Stipules, minute, fugitive, easily observed on young branches. Flowers, small, on stalks 3 to 9 lines long, bright yellow, arranged in rather dense terminal and lateral cymes; bracts, few, linear. Calyx, small, persistent, very deeply cleft; sepals, about 1 line long, acute, imbricated. Corolla, rotate, 8 to 9 lines diam., tube 3 to 4 lines long, surmounted by 5 equal lobes 2 to 3 lines long, inner surface of tube marked with red spots. Stamens 5, inserted on base of corolla tube and alternate with the lobes of the corolla, exserted, but shorter than the lobes; filaments equal; anthers lanceolate. Ovary stalked, on a short gynophore, tapering into a style 3 lines long, two-celled, containing many ascending ovules in each cell; style bi-cleft, each division being again slightly divided into two spreading stigmas. Fruit, a brown, dry, oblong, inflated, membraneous capsule, about 1 inch long, having two opposite deep furrows running from base to apex; dehiscence, septicidal. Seeds, very small, furnished with reddish-brown, reniform and imbricated wings.\n\nThe above characters were observed on a specimen gathered on the hills overlooking Mirs Bay, at the back of the city of Kowloon in the Kwangtung province, and on another growing on Mount Gough, on the island of Hongkong; the description of the fruit is taken from specimens gathered on the Canton West River.\n\nGelsemium elegans may now be seen growing in the Hongkong Botanical Gardens.\n\nHABITAT. This shrub grows sparingly in Hongkong, but more abundantly on the hills of the neighbouring mainland of China (Champion, Wright, Wilford, Hance, &c.). In November, 1885, Mr. Westland found a large number of specimens in full flower, climbing round trees to a height of about 12 feet near the Eastern base of Tai Mo Shan.2 It has\n\n1. Flora Hong kongensis, p 229.\n\n2. This is the loftiest (about 3,000 feet) of the hills on the coast of China immediately opposite to the island of Hongkong.\n\nalso been observed growing luxuriantly on the banks of the West River, about 120 miles from Canton (Ford), near the district of Lo ting, and in ravines on the island of Lantau, opposite the mouths of the Canton river (Westland). In the Pên ts'ao (Chap. XVII) it is declared a native of the provinces of Chekiang, Kwangtung, Kwangsi, Sze-chuen, and Yunnan. According to Bentham, this poisonous plant also grows in Sumatra, being probably identical with Zygopteris sumatrana, Blume. It flowers in October, November and December and matures its seeds in April and May.\n\nIt differs from the N. American species1 of this genus in having smaller, scentless, flowers, larger leaves, and smaller fruits and seeds.\n\nPARTS USED, &c. - The root is the only part of the plant used in medicine. As met with in the native drug-shops in Hongkong under the name\n\nM.: Hu muan ch'iang;\n\nC.: U mun k'eung, it consists of thick pieces of the underground stem with or without portions of the true root and rootlets attached.\n\nA piece of the root in our possession exhibits the following characters. Cortical layer, thick, easily removed from central woody portion, externally of a brown colour, wrinkled, marked at intervals of from ¼ to ½ inch by transverse cracks, extending about half way round, and as far as the medullary layer. A section of the latter shows the medullary rays stretching through the yellow woody portion in a manner similar to that displayed by the root of G. nitidum.2\n\n1. In the South. E. States, G. nitidum, Michaux, the source of the eclectic remedy Gelsemin) is known as Wild Yellow Jessamine or False Jasmine. We prefer to avoid the use of the terms Jasmine or Jessamine in the case of the China species. These names ought to have distinct generic significance, and should be applied only to plants of the genus Jasminum, with which Gelsemium was formerly classed. The value of popular botanical names will be seriously impaired, if their indiscriminate use becomes general.\n\n2. Syn. Bignonia sempervirens, Linn; G. sempervirens, Aiton; G. lucidum, Poir. This species is figured in Bentley and Trimen's Medicinal Plants, (1880), Vol. III, No. 181,\n\nNOTES ON CHINESE MATERIA MEDICA.\n\nWhen cut with a sharp knife, the central woody part shows a waxy section.\n\nThere is every reason to believe, that, in the majority of instances, supplies of this drug are brought from the hill sides only as they are wanted. In but few shops can specimens be seen. This fact will possibly account for the scarcity of the plant on the island of Hongkong: the careless collector doubtless destroys a shrub each time he gathers the drug, the root being the only part sought for.\n\nCHEMICAL COMPOSITION. - The active principle of this drug is due to an alkaloid which was first isolated in the Government Laboratory in the course of an enquiry ordered by Her Majesty's Coroner in the early part of 1884. This alkaloid is new to chemical science, and its discovery adds one more to the list of the STRYCHNINE OR TETANUS-PRODUCING GROUP OF ALKALOIDS. Its most characteristic reaction is the production of a deep violet colouration when in contact with oxidizing agents. If the alkaloid is present in very small quantity an observer might confound the colour with that displayed by Strychnine and Gelsemine under similar circumstances. In such a case the observer should apply side by side the same reagents to the alkaloids of Strychnos nux vomica and Gelsemium nitidum - a practised eye will at once note the difference.\n\nThe following table shows at a glance the different colours produced when manganese oxide and sulphuric acid are applied to---\n\nThe alkaloid1 of Gelsemium elegans.\n\nGelsemine.\n\nStrychnine.\n\nA deep violet colouration, changing to a rich green, which latter tint is more marked at the edges.\n\nA damask-purple colour, changing rapidly to and one of a rich purple hue.\n\nA deep purplish-violet colour, finally assuming a cherry-red tint.\n\n1. Pharmaceutical Journal, (3), XVI., p. 95 and 496; also Hongkong Government Gazette, Vol. XXXI, p. 344.\n\n217\n\nThese colours are all evanescent, but that displayed by the first mentioned alkaloid is more lasting than the others. The alkaloid of G. elegans is not associated with gelseminic acid, and unlike Strychnine and Gelsemine (P), it will not bear the action of sulphuric acid at a temperature of 100° C.\n\nThe publication of other chemical features of this alkaloid is reserved for a future paper.\n\nTOXICOLOGICAL NOTE. - In cases of poisoning by any preparation of the root of G. elegans, no difficulty should be experienced, in detecting the active principle in the contents of the stomach, provided, first, that the victim had not vomited to any extent after receiving the dose, and second, that death had ensued within a few hours of the administration of the poison. The method adopted in the Laboratory of the Government Civil Hospital is a modification of Stas's alkaloidal process. The viscera is treated with about twice its weight of absolute alcohol, acidified with tartaric acid, and digested for a few hours in a flask at a temperature of about 70° C., cooled and filtered. The filtrate is evaporated to the consistence of a soft extract, and treated with successive quantities of absolute alcohol and water, so as to free the alkaloid, if present, from as much extraneous matter as possible. The necessary evaporations may be conducted at a temperature of 100°C. The extract after the last alcoholic treatment is now dissolved in a little water and filtered, and the solution (acid) after being well washed with ether until nothing farther is removed - is made slightly alkaline with ammonia, and immediately shaken with a suitable volume of ether. The ethereal layer, which now contains the alkaloid, is removed; and this treatment having been repeated, the ethereal solutions of alkaloid are mixed, and divided into two parts. The first half should be evaporated\n\n1. Pharmaceutical Journal, (3), XVI., p. 642.\n\n2. This washing of the acid solution with ether ought never to be omitted.\n\n133", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-249 - Governor Des Voeus Acting Governor Barker - 1891 [1-5].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 346872, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-251 - Acting Governor Barker - 1891 [9-11]", "page_number": 476, "title": "CO129-251 - Acting Governor Barker - 1891 [9-11]", "content_text": "# Barrack \n473 \n\nimposes. by the CALL Queen's Road Co A width of por 75 to 80 feet and giving straighter direction. ch A to it.

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

But we would urge that instead of grouping the piles under each column they should be placed at equal distances along the frontage, that their heads should be connected by a grillage in the usual way and that the Portland cement concrete laid thereon should be continuous. By this construction, there would be less likelihood of a dislocation of the entablatures of the colonnade, by the subsidence of any individual point of support.\n\nWith reference to the question of cost, we are of opinion that a less costly style of building cannot properly be adopted considering the uses and importance of the buildings. Granite is the local and indeed almost the only available material and as the cost of granite, worked and set, is in Hong Kong only the price of Bath stone in England, we do not think its use, for the proposed Government buildings, in any way extravagant.\n\nWe may as well say here, that we have had a careful detailed estimate prepared and priced in accordance with the Government schedule in local use, and although the cost appears an astonishingly low one, for buildings of this character, our enquiries have all tended to confirm the official estimate.\n\n-1-\n\nWith", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-279 - Public Offices - 1897.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 364872, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-279 - Public Offices - 1897", "page_number": 119, "title": "CO129-279 - Public Offices - 1897", "content_text": "and if so their cost would be less now than after the other available building and space has been occupied.\n\n115\n\nWe would propose that the Sanitary Board and the Department of Public Works should be located on Plot No.3, the Colonial Secretary and Treasurer on Plot No.4, the Post Office on Plot No.1 and the Law Courts &c on the ampler Plot No.2.\n\nThis would concentrate the Government establishments giving sufficient room for each and facilitate their natural intercourse.

The gambling was sometimes carried on at No.5 Wa Lane and sometimes at No. 2 Ng Kwai Fong. I have been carrying on the gambling for about 5 years. The gambling used to commence at 6 o'clock in the morning, and was closed at midnight. The gambling was carried on the whole of the time from 6 am. to midnight. The gambling was not carried on continuously during the whole five years. It was sometimes carried on and sometimes closed. From the 11th moon of last year up to the time of closing it was carried on every day.\n\nThe business carried on was a large business. I was able to keep open the gambling house because I bribed all the Police. I know the Inspector present. He is 43, Inspector Stanton. I kept a record of the bribes paid. I kept in the record a record of the names & numbers of the Police who received bribes.\n\nI recognise the paper produced.

Though nominal rewards have been issued for their arrest, not one has been touched or is likely to be; the officials seem neither to have the will nor the power to stop the riot or arrest the chief culprits. So many Headmen of local influence are concerned that only the very strongest pressure is likely to induce the Taotal to take any action.\n\n## The causes of the riot were various; they have not been removed, so further trouble is likely to occur:\n1. The dislike of foreigners largely due to impudent behaviour of French.\n2. Fear that the French were about to seize the tin mines.\n3. Opposition to the railway, a feeling which is very wide-spread, and is both shared in and fostered by the officials.\n4. The hopeless weakness of the Provincial Government, which is quite powerless to keep order.\n5. Rumours that a large sum of silver was deposited in the French Consulate for the railway.\n\nMr. Spinney (Imperial Maritime Customs) an official of much experience, to whom I am indebted for information about Mengtze, is of opinion that there will be further serious trouble when the railway is actually commenced; nor on our side do I think that the Burmah lines can be extended without a good deal of trouble with the officials and people.\n\nIt is, I learn, the intention of the French to have some Annamite troops stationed as a guard at Mengtze, and to construct a block-house near the Consulate. After the riot, troops were brought up to Lung Po (on the extreme limit of the frontier) and the Colonial party wished to seize the opportunity of rushing Mengtze, but the French Consul, who no doubt had his instructions from home, strongly and successfully opposed any such move.\n\nThe action of the officials at Ssumao was in marked contrast to the feebleness shown at Mengtze. About five of the chief gentry in our valley, who had been more than suspected of engaging in the honourable profession of horse stealing in the Shan States, are supposed to have formed an unlawful society for procuring arms. After the Mengtze troubles the officials state that these men started a plot to raid the Customs and li-kin station, and some of their followers suddenly appeared at a salt station 50 miles north of this and demanded a \"present\" of 200 taels. This was going too far, and the officials got together a few men and attacked the gentry; four of the most influential were executed out of hand for being suspected; after this they were tried and found guilty, and their already severed heads were exposed to the public gaze. One of them, a Nich (proper name), had been so powerful that the public would not believe it was really his head that appeared on the pole near the parade ground.\n\nSsumao, October 29, 1899.\n\n(Signed)\n**G.

With this view a contract for the superstructure in carcase only might first be obtained. The drawings and details already furnished are sufficient for this purpose if supplemented by a specification of the work which Mr Mossop from his local knowledge of materials and methods can prepare better than ourselves.\n\nMeanwhile we will proceed with the few remaining stonework details for the lantern and upper parts of the building which were not included in those previously sent, and with the plaster cornices and other internal plaster work.\n\nThe details for the third contract cannot well be made until we receive exact information as to sizes of openings.\n\n-1-", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-308 - Public Offices - 1901.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 382988, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-308 - Public Offices - 1901", "page_number": 133, "title": "CO129-308 - Public Offices - 1901", "content_text": "-I-\n\n131\n\nExamined a worry at 1‡\n\n, la mu? a data bu duxit #\n\n*\n\nopenings, heights, thicknesses of walls and such similar information as Mr Mossop will be able to send us from the actual work.\n\nThe wiring of the building for the electric light should be provided for in consultation with an Electrical Engineer.

BERKELEY (ACTING **Chief Justice**):\n\n##### THE GAGE STREET MURDER TRIAL.\n\nLiu Chui eling Li Kwai Fán was charged with the murder of Yueng Kuo Wán, the Reformer schoolmaster, in Gage Street, on 10th January, 1901.\n\nHe pleaded not guilty.\n\nMr E. B. Sharp, K.C., Acting Attorney-General (instructed by Mr. F. B. L. Bowley, Crown Solicitor), conducted the prosecution; and Mr. T. Morgan Phillips, barrister-at-law, was for the defence.\n\nThe following jury was empanelled:- Messrs. W. Nicholls, P. Dow, R. Saron, J. W. Crouch, P. Hardman, J. A. T. Plummer, and A. S. Anton. Foreman, Mr Dow.\n\nThe Acting Attorney-General, in opening the case, said the accused was charged as being a member, in fact the leader, of a gang of four men who committed this deed in concert together. All four of these men had been for some time known to the Crown by name, but the other three unfortunately were not before the Court. They had not been caught, and in all probability would never be found within the jurisdiction of this Colony, so that they could be caught. The prisoner only returned to Hong-kong last month and was arrested.\n\nThe circumstances of the murder were fairly notorious. Deceased lived at 52, Gage Street, in a corner house fronting upon that street and Aberdeen Street. He rented the whole of the first floor, consisting of a large room and two cubicles and a kitchen in the rear. The ground at the back was almost one storey higher than in front. The first floor was entered by the back from a lane and was practically on a level with the lane, which debouched into Aberdeen Street by a short flight of steps. Deceased conducted a night school for the teaching of English to Chinese boys and young men. The classes commenced at six o'clock, in the large front room.\n\nOn the evening in question, deceased was sitting at a table in the centre of the room, reading to a class from a book. The door was on the latch for the convenience of pupils arriving late, and it was consequently easy for anybody to enter without attracting any particular attention. The wife of the deceased man, her daughter, and two small children were in the cubicles at the back of the premises.\n\nAbout half-past six o'clock, a man suddenly appeared in the classroom. He was not noticed for a moment by a few there, but not by the deceased. This man walked a certain distance into the room, fairly close up to the table, and suddenly discharged three or four shots at the deceased. The shots took effect, and deceased fell forward onto the table. The pupils fled in panic, and in the confusion, the man who fired the shots, along with another man who accompanied him, escaped.\n\nHis Lordship: I presume you are going to prove this—that these officials publicly offered a reward for the man's apprehension or assassination.\n\nThe Acting Attorney-General: I shall prove that.\n\nThe circumstances of the murder continued. Deceased's wife and daughter rushed into the room, found him in a state of collapse, and called the police. When the injured man was taken to the hospital, Dr. Bell found that his injuries were too serious to allow of the extraction of the bullets. He died the next morning. Three bullets were found in the body, and the cause of death was certified to be internal hemorrhage. Deceased made a dying declaration implicating the Chinese Government, saying that they had offered a reward of $20,000 for his life.\n\nTam Chung, a Yaumati fisherman, said he made the acquaintance of the prisoner on his uncle's marriage boat at Yaumati in April, 1900. Witness went to live with him in the capacity of a cook. He left on the 5th January, 1901, as he was afraid of being implicated. The prisoner had pointed out this Yueng Kus Wan to him and asked him to assist in beating him. Witness refused.\n\nThe Acting Attorney-General continued, saying the Chinese Government had sent the man down from Canton, and \"everything was to be done.\" Prisoner reconnoitred the back of the house and presently came down and joined his two companions at the foot of the flight of steps. There they had a short conversation, and then the other two men went up the steps and entered the house, the prisoner mounting guard at the corner so as to command Aberdeen Street and the lane at the back of the house. The shots were fired immediately after these two men entered the house.\n\nPrisoner said he had come from Canton and asked witness to put him up. They refused. The prisoner disappeared and was not seen again. But presently, afterwards, the whole gang were back in Canton, where they stayed in Li Ka Chuk's barracks for ten days or more, during which time the murder was very frequently discussed, and the prisoner frequently referred to it, boasting that he committed the deed and claiming the reward for it.\n\nLi Ka Chuk, the mandarin in Canton, he said, offered a reward of between $10,000 and $20,000 to anyone who would kill Yueng Kus Wan. Prisoner asked the pilot to help him get someone to kill the deceased. Prisoner said that if there was a reward, he would get someone to kill the deceased.\n\nThe Acting Attorney-General concluded by saying that the jury must leave out of consideration any sympathy they might have with the Reform movement. Notwithstanding the extraordinary breach committed by the Chinese Government or officials of the fundamental principles of international rights and the intolerableness of having a foreign government's emissaries entering their territory for the purpose of murdering somebody who was under the protection of their flag but was obnoxious to that foreign government, it was conceivable that the Chinese officials who organised this affair were actuated by patriotic motives.\n\nE. W. Carpenter, P.W.D., was the first witness. He put in and proved plans of the house 52, Gage Street.\n\nHis Lordship: Because it is a very serious allegation to make against those officials.\n\nThe Acting Attorney-General: I think I will prove it to your Lordship's satisfaction.\n\nThe Acting Attorney-General continued, saying this mandarin really organised this murder, although he did not actually come to Hongkong; and some of his braves were in the gang who committed the murder. Yung Ching Kai, captain of the Chinese gunboat Ai Yui, came to Hongkong and acted as intermediary between the mandarin and his emissaries. Prisoner was the leader of the gang who committed the deed.\n\nAfter other witnesses had given evidence, Dr. Bell went into the box. He described the man's condition when brought into hospital and spoke to the dying deposition made by the deceased and written down by witness at the time.\n\nDeceased's deposition was to the effect that he was teaching at the English school in Gage Street when very quietly the murderer came in and shot him four times. He did not know...\n\nThe wife of the murdered man next gave evidence. When she heard the report of firearms, she said, she came out from the cubicle where she had been lying on the bed and met all the pupils running out. When she went into the front room, she found her husband leaning forward with his head on his hands. He was bleeding.\n\nA young Chinese who was a student of the deceased and who was in the room when the murder was committed gave evidence as to the deed.\n\nCross-examined—There was no other stranger in the room but the man who fired the shots. Prisoner was not there.\n\nCross-examined—Witness was a fisherman and had his own boat in Yaumati. He gave up cooking in January, 1901, before which date he had never been a fisherman. His uncle gave him the boat. Witness had a brother named Tam Tai who visited the house where he was cooking for the prisoner, but witness knew nothing about his antecedents, nor whether he was hiding from the police in consequence of...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-317 - Governor Sir Blake - 1903 [4-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 389001, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-317 - Governor Sir Blake - 1903 [4-6]", "page_number": 508, "title": "CO129-317 - Governor Sir Blake - 1903 [4-6]", "content_text": "## IN CRIMINAL JURISDICTION\n\n### BEFORE HIS HONOUR BERKELEY (ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE)\n\n#### THE GAGE STREET MURDER TRIAL\n\nA Liu Chui alias Li Kwai Fan was charged with the murder of Yeung Kue Wan, the Reformer schoolmaster, in Gage Street, on 10th January, 1901.

This man walked a certain distance into the room, fairly close up to the table, and suddenly discharged three or four shots at the deceased. The shots took effect, and deceased fell forward onto the table; the pupils fled in panic.\n\nHis Lordship—I presume you are going to prove this—that these officials publicly offered a reward for the man's apprehension or assassination?\n\nThe Acting Attorney-General—I shall prove that.\n\nTam Chung, a Yaumati fisherman, said he made the acquaintance of the prisoner on his uncle's marriage-boat at Yaumati in April, 1900. About July or August of that year, he again saw him on that boat. Prisoner said he had come down from somewhere to look for some business but did not say where from; he stayed on Hollywood Road. Witness went to live with him in the capacity of a cook. He left on the 5th January, 1901. He had pointed out this house to Sergeant Sullivan. During the time he lived with prisoner, he remembered a pilot from the Au Fui coming to the house. On one occasion, he heard the pilot telling the prisoner there was a man named Yeung Kue Wan living in Hong Kong and asking what was his occupation. Li Ka Chuk of the Chinese Government, he said, offered a reward of between $10,000 and $20,000 to anyone who would kill him and also to give several buttons; could the prisoner get someone to kill him? Prisoner said that if there was a reward, he would get someone to kill him. Prisoner asked the pilot to stay for dinner. The pilot not only did so but stayed for several days. Prisoner asked witness to assist him to beat Yeung Kue Wan. Witness said he had classmates trading in this Colony, and it would be very difficult to secure his services. There were six men living in the house. All of these conspired to join the prisoner. He heard the people discussing what they were to do with the deceased; prisoner suggested that he and two others should go down the street, keep a watch on Yeung Kue Wan, and, if he went to a house where there were only a few people present, shoot him; if there were many people, they were not to shoot him; if there were a few people present, shoot him. Witness left the prisoner's house because he was afraid of being implicated. He went back to his uncle's boat on 5th January.\n\n| Name | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| Tam Chung | Yaumati fisherman, acquaintance of the prisoner |\n| Li Ka Chuk | Mandarin in Canton, offered reward for Yeung Kue Wan's assassination |\n| Yeung Kue Wan | Deceased, Reformer schoolmaster |\n| Li Kwai Fan (Liu Chui) | Accused, leader of the gang |\n\nThe Acting Attorney-General continued his opening statement, detailing the events surrounding the murder. The murder happened about half-past six. Deceased's wife and daughter rushed into the room, found him in a state of collapse. Tsui Fak mounted guard at the junction of Gage Street and Aberdeen Street. Prisoner reconnoitred the back of the house and presently came down and joined his two companions at the foot of the flight of steps. There they had a short conversation, and then the other two men went up the steps and entered the house, the prisoner mounting guard at the corner so as to command Aberdeen Street and the lane at the back of the house. The shots were fired immediately after these two men entered the house. The gang of four got into a sampan and went out to the Harbour.\n\nE. W. Carpenter, P.W.D., was the first witness. He put in and proved plans of the house 52, Gage Street.\n\nDr. Bell gave evidence about the deceased's condition when brought into hospital. He found that the injuries were too serious to allow of the extraction of the bullets. Deceased made a dying declaration implicating the Chinese Government, saying that they had offered a reward of $20,000 for his life.\n\nThe trial continued with further witness testimony, including that of the wife of the murdered man and a young Chinese student who was in the room when the murder was committed.\n\nPage 369 \nPage 501", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-317 - Governor Sir Blake - 1903 [4-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 390961, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-320 - Governor Sir Blake Acting Governor May - 1903 [11-12]", "page_number": 514, "title": "CO129-320 - Governor Sir Blake Acting Governor May - 1903 [11-12]", "content_text": "3\n\nCONTENTS.\n\nArton (application for rule nisi)\n\n\"{\n\nBellencontre\n\n\"\"\n\nabsolute)\n\nBlulum...\n\nBouvier\n\nCastioni\n\nCounhaye\n\nDix\n\nGadwey\n\nGanz\n\nGeorge...\n\nGuerin...\n\nHawes (U.S.A.)\n\nHiller, Jacobi and,\n\nHuguet\n\nJacobi and Hiller\n\nLavaudier and Others\n\nLawrence (U.S.A.)\n\nLushington, R. v., ex parte Otto\n\nMaurer\n\nMeunier\n\nNillins...\n\nOtto\n\nPinter ...\n\nPage.\n\n5, 23\n\n6, 23\n\n20\n\n26\n\n7\n\n6, 19\n\n7\n\n27\n\n24\n\n14\n\n25\n\n19\n\n10\n\n12\n\n8\n\n12\n\n13\n\n23\n\n9\n\n22\n\n16\n\n22\n\n16\n\n22\n\n21\n\n12\n\n2 3 8 2 2 2 2 2\n\nPiot\n\nPooley 2.

But in the application of this principle certain matters, such as the conditions upon which, and the class of crimes in respect of which, extradition is to be granted, and the formalities to be observed upon an application for extradition, are primarily matters for the two political powers concerned to arrange in the first instance by treaty; having done this, the next step is by legislative enactment to give them the force of law, and to express in an Act of Parliament the conditions and limitations imposed upon the grant of extradition and the class of crimes to which extradition is to apply. It is to the expression of the legislature in Acts of Parliament alone that judicial tribunals can refer. Acts of Parliament are the sole source, and at the same time the strict limitation, of the judicial functions. We are sitting here as judges only, and have nothing to do with political considerations except so far as they may have been introduced into the language of the Acts which we are called upon to construe.\n\nPer Lord RUSSELL, C.J., In re Arton, L.R.

I know no head of the French law for which an exact equivalent is to be found in the law of England. The English and French texts of the treaty are not translations of one another. They are different versions, but versions which, on the whole, are in substantial agreement.\n\nPer Lord RUSSELL, C.J., In re Arton, L.R.

I think that they (the provisions of the Act) are quite sufficient certainly to satisfy me that the Magistrate's decision is by no means binding, either in point of law or in point of fact, and that, when these matters come to be considered upon the habeas corpus, if the Judges have to consider the case, they must consider the case as it is before them at the time the rule is discussed, and I think that we are not bound by, though we pay respect to, what the Magistrate's views were.\n\nIn re Castioni, L.R.

Committed for extradition, by Police Magistrate of Jersey, for \"fuum et banqueroute frauduleuse.\" The French warrant had been granted upon a judgment of an Assize Court, on which Bouvier had been condemned on three several charges of abus de confiance, forgery, and fraudulent bankruptcy. Abus de confiance was not an offence included in the Convention of 13th February, 1843.\n\nContended: No power under the Convention or under the Act of 1870 to surrender for abus de confiance. No power to surrender the criminal inasmuch as no provision or arrangement had been made as required by section 3 (2) of the Extradition Act, 1870.\n\nAffidavit of the officially appointed Counsel to the French Embassy put in as to the state of French law.\n\nHeld: That under the existing law of France such provision is made.\n\n(See also case of United States v.

It cannot be that one Magistrate may take a deposition and another judge of its relevancy and importance.\n\nHeld: As to (i)-It is for the Magistrate to decide, and although we may think that the case is very inconclusive, we cannot interfere; he is the only party authorised to decide upon the facts. This is not a Court of Appeal from the Magistrate's decision.\n\nAs to (ii.)—\n\nPer KELLY, C.B.--I entertain great doubt whether the deposition of M. de M. was admissible in evidence before Sir T.

LAWRENCE.\n\nU.S.A. CIRCUIT COURT, NEW YORK.\n\n13 Cox C.C. 361.\n\nLawrence was extradited to the U.S.A. in March, 1875, for “forging and uttering a certain bond and affidavit within the U.S.A.\"\n\nUpon indictment before the Circuit Court of the United States, held at the city of New York, for forging and uttering a certain bond of one Blanding and also a certain affidavit known as the \"Owner's Oath,\" purporting to be made by Blanding, Lawrence filed a special plea to the jurisdiction of the Court, averring that he was charged with offences other than those on which his extradition was grounded, and set up the British Extradition Act, and that there was an understanding that he was to be tried only for the crime stated in the extradition warrant.\n\nHeld: Per BENEDICT, J.-Extradition proceedings do not secure the person surrendered immunity from prosecution for any offence other than the one upon which his surrender is made. An offender against the justice of his country can acquire no rights as between himself and justice by flight: he remains at all times and everywhere liable to be called to answer to the law for his violations thereof, provided he comes within the reach of its arm. The English statute of 1870 cannot be held to have had the effect in the United States of securing an extradited person from trial for an offence other than that for which he is extradited. An agreement between the representatives of the two governments cannot have the effect of depriving the Court of jurisdiction to try him for offences other than that for which he is extradited. See Scott's case in the King's Bench (9 B. & C. 447). Scott was seized in Brussels, and carried to London without extradition or other legal process: \"We are to take care that such a party is amenable to justice, and cannot inquire into the circumstances under which he was brought here.\"\n\n(See case of Commonwealth v.

The Court ordered the case for embezzlement to be continued, and prisoner released from custody. The Commonwealth appealed.\n\nHeld: The precise purpose for which the fugitive is to be surrendered is set out in exact and apt language, and the Act negatives, by necessary implication, the right here claimed, that the person surrendered may be tried for an offence different from that for which he was extradited, and one for which his surrender could not have been demanded.\n\n(The French Minister of Justice, in his circular of 15 April, 1841, said: \"The extradition declares the offence which leads to it, and this offence alone ought to be inquired into.\" The rule, as stated by the German author Heffter, is that: \"The individual, whose extradition has been granted, cannot be prosecuted nor tried for any crime except that for which the extradition has been obtained. To act in any other way, and to cause him to be tried for other crimes or misdemeanors, would be to violate the mutual principle of asylum, and the silent clause contained by implication in every extradition.\")\n\n(See also United States v.

On 27th September a petition in bankruptcy was filed, and Pooley was adjudicated bankrupt on 22nd October, and he soon afterwards left England. On 13th May, 1880, the trustee obtained permission to prosecute Pooley for offences against bankruptcy law. Pooley was arrested in Paris on 1st June on a warrant issued on 22nd May. On 7th June an order was obtained to lodge the writ of attachment with the Governor of Newgate, and that Pooley when released from the criminal charge should be handed over to the Governor of Holloway Prison until he had purged his contempt. On 28th June, Pooley was discharged by the Guildhall Magistrate in respect of the charges in the warrant, and he was then taken to Holloway.\n\nCHANCERY DIVISION.\n\nHe applied (9th July) to Vice-Chancellor BACON to discharge him. The motion was refused with costs.\n\nCOURT OF APPEAL.\n\nFrom this order he appealed; and the Court, after hearing evidence, Held: Disobedience of an order of the High Court of Justice in a civil action, though a contempt of Court, is not an \"offence\" within the meaning of section 19 of the Extradition Act; and Pooley was therefore not entitled to his discharge until his contempt had been purged. If a warrant under the Extradition Act is obtained, not for the bona fide purpose of punishing a person for a crime, but with the indirect object of making him amenable to an attachment in a civil action, it will be an abuse of the process of the Court, and the attachment will be set aside.\n\nR. v.

(N.S.) 595, footnote.\n\nOn 23rd September, 1880, prisoners sent from Amsterdam a letter to Heininger & Co., Mayence, ordering furniture to be sent to Amsterdam. Heininger's agent called on them, and prisoners made certain alleged false statements. Furniture was supplied, sent by ordinary carrying agents to Amsterdam; it was not paid for, but was removed to England, and prisoners absconded to England. Warrants were issued at Mayence in December for the arrest of the prisoners, setting forth that they were \"suspected of fraud\" by having, with intent to procure illegal pecuniary profit, and by a promise of payment given in writing falsely and in bad faith, induced Heininger to forward furniture, thus causing pecuniary prejudice to the said firm.\n\n13\n\nThey were committed for extradition for \"obtaining goods by false pretences\"; and on application for rules nisi for writs of habeas corpus, it was\n\nContended: That if any offence had been committed it was in Holland and not in Germany; and that the German warrant of arrest was bad for insufficiency, as it did not state upon its face that the crime charged was the extradition offence of obtaining goods by false pretences, but set out a mere fraud which could be substantiated without proving a single false pretence for which they could be indicted in England; such mere fraud was not an extradition offence in the treaty.\n\nHeld: That the offence was committed in Germany, the property being actually parted with at Mayence: and that (referring to ex parte Terraz) the warrant was sufficient.\n\nPer POLLOCK, B.-It seems to me that upon all the sound principles the course of dealing of the prisoners was an obtaining of the goods in Mayence under false pretences: and the Magistrate decided upon evidence contained in those letters, which clearly show that there was false pretence, and that under those circumstances the offence was committed.\n\n(See ex parte Terras, L.R. 1 Ex.

These prisoners had been seen before the 3rd June in London with the person who subsequently brought the stolen goods from Belgium, who had been seen in Brussels at the time of the commission of the burglary. These prisoners pledged the stolen goods in London. They were committed for extradition for receiving and being accessories after the fact to the burglary.\n\nHeld: That there was no evidence at all to show that the accused were guilty of receiving these stolen goods in Belgium, though there was strong evidence of receiving stolen goods in England, and prisoners were discharged.\n\n(See R. v.

In 4 out of the 19 cases charged the facts amount to fraud by a bailee or agent within section 76 of the Larceny Act. \"Embezzlement\" is only the word used to translate the French word, and might equally well be rendered \"fraudulent misappropriation.\"\n\nPer CAVE, J. There is a warrant which describes this as a crime of fraud by an agent, and the evidence satisfied the Magistrate that on some of these charges it was sufficient; and as to some of them the Court considers he was right.

Upon the hearing of the case, certain articles were produced under a subpœna duces tecum by a witness who had purchased them from the accused in England, and were identified as part of the property stolen. The Magistrate, on committing Ebstein, orally directed a constable to take charge of the property so produced and identified, in order that it might be produced at the trial in France.\n\nThe purchaser applied under 11 and 12 Vic. c. 44 s. 5, for an order directing the Magistrate to order the property to be delivered up to him.\n\nHeld: The Magistrate was functus officio as soon as he had committed the accused; and the Court had no power to make an order on him to do something outside the ordinary course of his judicial functions.\n\nWhen the jewellery passed out of his hands by virtue of the process of the Court (subpoena duces tecum) the purchaser's possessory title became divested by order of the Court.

Colonial Secretary,\n\nI have discussed the plans (marked 4) prepared by Messrs. Aston Webb and Ingress Bell with the Hon. Attorney-General and the Crown Solicitor. As a matter of fact the proposal only affects the latter Officer, as the Attorney-General has only one clerk. The Attorney-General raises no objection to the proposed alteration.\n\nThe Crown Solicitor objects to the proposal as it will seriously curtail the accommodation for his staff and does not allow for the convenience of his offices. He suggests the arrangement shown on plans marked 'E'. The plans contain full information and it is unnecessary for me to detail the alterations here, further than to mention that the gallery would be retained round the upper part of the Third Court for the accommodation of bookcases. It is considered that the proceedings of the Court would not be disturbed by the use of the gallery in this way as no noise need be occasioned in gaining access to the bookcases. The arrangement keeps the library and book-store compact and conveniently accessible.\n\nI submit three other proposals for affording a Third Court. They are marked 'C', 'D', and 'F'.\n\n'C' consists simply of subdividing the Library, as originally proposed, by a cross wall and utilizing one-half as a library and the other as a Third Court. The dimensions of the former are greater than in Messrs. Aston Webb and Ingress Bell's proposal and the gallery in the upper part would afford increased accommodation. The dimensions of the Third Court would be 42'3\" × 20'6\" as against 37'4\" × 27'8” for the small court in the existing Supreme Court building.

The Court would be only 19 ft. high and could only be lighted along one side and these windows would be under a colonnade and the ventilation would be imperfect.\n\nMoreover the Library if placed over the Court would not be in a good position or easily got at.\n\nWe would submit that it would be better to use the whole block for a 3rd court which would then be a companion to the present small court. It is true that the Library under such an arrangement would disappear altogether but it may be possible in consultation with the Law Officers to rearrange the Centre Block which is now devoted to their use in such a way as to provide a sufficient library on either the 1st or 2nd floor.\n\nIf you wish us to prepare plans in illustration of this view we will do so without delay.\n\n(Intld.)

In view however of what these witnesses had said before the Commission I submit \n\nthat the Crown had right to call them and that the Council was \n\nentitled to hear what they had to say. \n\nLai Yuk San did not appear before the \n\nCommission having it appears left the Colony in 1905. Enquiries \n\nwere made for him and the Commission offered to reimburse his \n\ntravelling expenses if the Buxon firm could procure his attend-\n\n-ance before them. \n\nHad this man returned to the Colony he \n\nwould undoubtedly have been called on to give evidence. \n\nI presume it was in the expectation that he \n\nmight eventually come forward that the charges relative to the seven payments alleged to have been made by him were allowed to \n\nstand. \n\nIn the result when the evidence for the \n\nCrown had been called it appears that one payment only out of \n\n16 was substantiated by direct proof. \n\nThe only evidence as to the other 15 pay-\n\n-ments consisted of the entries - evidence admissible in itself \n\nbut not sufficient without corroboration to establish liability. \n\nWhen the reporter had been dismissed and \n\nthe Council was sitting with closed doors to consider the evidence it was pointed out by the Chairman, Mr. Sercombe Smith, and myself that there was only sufficient evidence of one direct \n\npayment \n\n- \n\nthat of 18th September, 1905 - and this was I think \n\nfully realized by the other Members. \n\nWas it under the circumstances necessary \n\nto put each separate payment singly to the Council and require it \n\nto find a verdict of guilty or not guilty, like a jury in a \n\nCriminal", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-339 - Acting Governor May Governor Nathan - 1907 [1-3].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 409009, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-340 - Governor Nathan Acting Governor May - 1907 [4-6]", "page_number": 75, "title": "CO129-340 - Governor Nathan Acting Governor May - 1907 [4-6]", "content_text": "#Tow olIde¶ end rebianon son ob I \nwas not provided as a header in the original text, assuming it is a continuation of the text.\n\n\nvlist ad of rebianoo I doqm mat no absa gated aðŋamyaq to \n-noo adó #wolfa 31 .bonisg segatusyha eɗð yď beltljast \nyaq bus rotha Xoof of havong edd no ayawia ed of axoJvænd» \n-noo #rid of vieɗdor to Xaby Lis ablova omia dI .nom Tiszt \ngulyítvo ni m♫ð yď bežalosnqqa víðasta el Kołdw moto#TÍ-\nyo dadt vær of etutney I atɗt IIM ASW \n.atol¬talb \nolidv¶ edt nadć zdrow grid no amit erom basqa araonienf \nend ni meee evad I fadw moTE .ataantya Inantisq@ɑ #droW \n-dua sɗð at bwoaiq et dauti doʊm oot teblanoo I,yaoled \nolidu¶ add vɗ tuo belïtso BÉTow to #gtado ni metsalbrom \nTeqaeño bna rotted tarit Tebtanoo I bna ‡neMİLAQOⱭ AXTON \n#gral and no Jaebiser snow zreenigmë ti snob sɗ binoW FLOW \n@tolītalb gaiyiduo ni tuo belTMIBO BÉTow \nat dgergeroq taal end to sonetnes janit eff \n\n...the Colony as young men and they learn a single system \nof carrying out works without a chance of comparing it \nwith any other system, and they naturally think theirs is \nthe one and only system worth knowing.\n\n18. \nI myself have worked under many systems.

All round the enclosed statue were squads of the Buffs, and in close vicinity were the Hongkong Volunteers, who were in charge of Captains Andrews, Wolfe and Craik.\n\nThe enclosed square from which the unveiling ceremony was conducted was occupied by His Excellency the Governor, Major General Broadwood and Commodore Lyon, and by Mr. H. N. Mody, the generous donor of the statue. Mr. H. N. Mody said:-Your Excellency, Ladies and Gentlemen, It is with the greatest pleasure that I now call upon your Excellency to unveil, and take over for the community, the statue of Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales. The embellishment of the very few open spaces we possess in this Colony is, I think, an object worthy of the attention of those who have the good fortune to be able to take hand in doing so, nor can this object be better attained than by the erection of statues of those to whom we owe allegiance, devotion and love. It was, therefore, with the greatest pleasure that, on the opportunity being afforded me to do something in this line, I offered, subject to the sanction of His Majesty Our King and to the consent of the Royal Personage immediately concerned, to present to the Colony the statue you are now about to unveil. His Majesty's sanction was readily granted, and Her Royal Highness very graciously consented to give the necessary sittings to Mr Wade, the sculptor selected whose works of art are numerous and well known, and I am given to understand he has produced a very speaking likeness, which it is now my proud pleasure to present to this Colony. We may well be proud of the fact that we hold the honour of possessing the very first statue of our Gracious Princess that has as yet been erected, though one is now being prepared for India. Like our present Gracious Queen, the Princess of Wales has always shown a keen interest in all works of mercy and charity. Long may she be spared to do so. With these few remarks I now ask your Excellency to unveil the statue.\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY said Mr. Mody, Ladies and Gentlemen,-The addition of this statue of H.R.H. the Princess of Wales completes the group which forms our \"Royal Square,\" and so soon as the building sheds, which I regret will still for some time disfigure it, are removed, this Square will form a worthy and dignified approach to the Colony from the sea. The statue has been presented by Mr. H. N. Mody, who is ever ready to come forward to promote the welfare and add to the beauty and utility of the Colony, in which he has spent the greater part of his life. In the name of the Colony I thank him for his generous gift. Of Her Royal Highness and of the Prince of Wales it may be said that no prospective King and Queen of England have ever travelled so largely and seen so much of the British Empire as they have. It is significant of the increased importance with which the British Colonies are now regarded by the Mother country that their Royal Highnesses should thus have made themselves personally familiar with the sister nations whose destinies are linked with those of the British Isles, and with the Colonies, which, like Hongkong, are so important to the trade and to the naval supremacy of Great Britain. We are also proud that our future Queen will be the first for many centuries to be British-born. May Their Royal Highnesses be spared by Providence long lives, so that in due course they may reign over a united and loyal and patriotic Empire! At the request of the generous donor I now unveil the statue, and present it in his name to the Colony to which in so many ways he has been a benefactor.\n\nA bugle then sounded, the shroud enclosing the statue fell, and four Union Jacks were run up to the corner poles of the scaffolding which had enclosed the Princess. The band then played, a royal salute was given and all hats were doffed to the revivified Princess.\n\nTHE MARCH PAST.\n\nHis Excellency the Governor, the General Officer Commanding, the Commodore and the General Staff then mounted the steps of the Queen's Statue to view the march past,\n\nThe Union Jack Was unfurled on the flagstaff, and naval gunners near Queen's Statue Pier fired a salute. The booming of the guns and the cheers of the spectators proved a hearty \"Health to His Majesty,\" and the troops started on the march past.\n\nThe Bluejackets, with their machine-like evolutions, well filled the premier post in the pageant, while the marines took second place with no less distinction. Then followed the Royal Artillery, the H.K.S.B.R.G.A., the Royal Engineers, the Buffs with their historical colours, the Volunteers, the Mahrattas and the Rajputs, the two latter displaying banners which have earned the adoration of all Britons.\n\nTHE NAVAL REVIEW.\n\nThe end of the march past concluded the proceedings in Statue Square, and the spectators then wended their way to the Naval Yard. The impassable gates of this usually secluded quarter were thrown open, and a large crowd of spectators filled the compound to witness the evolutions of the first defence of the Empire. Those in charge of the parade were Commodore Lyon, Commander J. Nicholas, H. M. S. Flora, Commander Smith H.M.S. Monmouth, Commander Acton, H.M.S. Tamar, Commander Pyke, H. M. S. Monmouth, Lieut. Chilcott and Lieut. Dukes Hughes.\n\nA bugle call announced the arrival of H. E. the Governor at the Naval Yard, simultaneous with which the big Union Jack at the saluting base and the two White Ensigns were unfurled. A royal salute followed, and then his Excellency inspected the bluejackets and marines.\n\nPage 563", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-358 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1909 [10-11].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 420689, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-358 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1909 [10-11]", "page_number": 579, "title": "CO129-358 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1909 [10-11]", "content_text": "Commodore Lyon, Capt.

Besides giving the general public an idea of the efficiency of our Navy, such exhibitions as that given yesterday help to cement the feelings between the civilian and the sailor more closely together. This was clearly evidenced yesterday, as on several occasions the patriotism of those present found expression in repeated applause. The sight was indeed a fine one, and the tars showed themselves to be exceptionally efficient in their duties. Their marching was excellent, and the smartness with which the firing parties acquitted themselves was loudly applauded. Commander Pike gave the necessary words of command. A Royal Salute was fired, after which the yard resounded with three hearty cheers from the men. The march past in extended column was a splendid sight, the men then forming into two compact squares. During the review, the guns from which the Salute had been fired headed the march, and lent additional splendour to the whole scene.\n\nParties were afterwards entertained on board the warship in the dry dock.\n\n575", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-358 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1909 [10-11].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 422013, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-361 - Public Offices - 1909", "page_number": 42, "title": "CO129-361 - Public Offices - 1909", "content_text": "**CONFIDENTIAL**\n\nC.O. 12195 \n40 \n[January 23.]\n\n## SECTION 4.\n\n### No. 1.\n\nSir J.

P.**\n\n#### ČANTON-HANKOW Railway.\n\nPeking, January 23, 1909.\n\nWith reference to your telegram of the 22nd instant, on the subject of German participation in the loan for the construction of the above-mentioned railway, I venture to suggest that no arrangement which affects the rights as regards engineers and material, granted to us by the Agreement of September 1905 in return for the redemption loan made by the Hong Kong Government, should be permitted by His Majesty's Government.\n\nThe British agents at Hankow and Peking have in the past vigorously and with success maintained these rights, and they have again and again been admitted by the Chinese Government. Should any further changes be introduced without the sanction of the latter, it is quite possible that the whole arrangement will fall through.\n\nI am strongly of the opinion that no railway loan should be made to China purely as a financial transaction. The Chinese are continually attempting to assert the right to use, for any purposes they please, British funds which they have acquired under solemn Agreements for the sole purpose of constructing railways, and it is the daily task of His Majesty's Representative in Peking to combat these pretensions.\n\nThe difficulties experienced by us in the working of the Tien-tsin-Pukow and Shanghae-Ningpo Agreements, reported in my despatches `No. 509` and `No. 571`, have convinced me that His Majesty's Government should carefully examine the guarantees for the proper expenditure of future railway loans.\n\n[2104-4]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-361 - Public Offices - 1909.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 422190, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-361 - Public Offices - 1909", "page_number": 219, "title": "CO129-361 - Public Offices - 1909", "content_text": "## Sir Edward Grey to Sir J. Jordan\n\n**(No. 72.) (Telegraphic.) P.**\n\nCANTON-HANKOW Railway loan.\n\nForeign Office, April 8, 1909.\n\nA telegram from Mr. Hillier has been communicated to us by Mr. Addis. In it Mr. Hillier reports an interview on the 6th instant at the Wai-wu Pu, and as to the possibility that the Chinese Government will come to an arrangement with the Hong Kong and Shanghae Bank instead of with the British and Chinese Corporation.\n\nMr. Addis will recommend the Board to give a free hand to Mr. Hillier if the Chinese Government come to him with proposals to modify the terms so that all parties may be admitted.\n\npreference in regard to certain railways, and throughout the recent negotiations the representative of the **British and Chinese Corporation** was repeatedly assured that in the event of more acceptable terms being offered by another nation, His Majesty's Minister at Peking would be informed, and the refusal of those terms given to British financiers before the offer of the other country was accepted.\n\nHis Majesty's Government consider that his Excellency Chang Chi Tung has treated his obligations to them with scant regard in the past, and they are afraid that he may display a like disregard and want of consideration in the case of the Hankow-Szechuan Railway Loan, for which it is understood a German group is now competing. By an Agreement between the Chinese Government and His Majesty's Minister at Peking in 1903 the former undertook—should it be desired to construct a line from Hankow to Szechuan, and Chinese capital was insufficient for the purpose—to obtain all the necessary capital from this country and the United States of America. Moreover, in the assurances given by his Excellency Chang Chih Tung to Mr. Fraser in 1905, in connection with the Hankow-Canton Railway, it is provided that if within the jurisdiction of Hupei and Hunan other railways were contemplated which likewise necessitated loans from abroad, they should all be dealt with on the system set forth in the Agreement as applicable to the Canton-Hankow line.\n\nHis Majesty's Government are greatly disappointed and surprised at the way in which they have been deprived of the advantages of the 1905 Agreement, owing to the Chinese Government contracting a loan on terms not contemplated when that Agreement was made.\n\nThey can only regard the attitude of the Chinese Government in this matter as a serious breach of the spirit of their Agreement with this country, which must unfavourably affect relations between the two Governments which have hitherto been so friendly. They trust that it may not yet be too late for the Chinese Government to reconsider their attitude towards this country in the matter of their undertakings as regards railways, as persistence in these methods will undoubtedly lead the British nation to feel that it is useless to conclude business arrangements with China. China's credit in this country will be ruined, and her interests must suffer.\n\nForeign Office, April 8, 1909.\n\n> \n[This Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Government.\nC.O. 15123\nRECO\nMAX OG\n**CONFIDENTIAL.**\n[April 8.]\n**SECTION 2.**\n217\n[13501]\n\n| Metadata | Value |\n| --- | --- |\n| Document Number | No. 1 |\n| Sender | Sir Edward Grey |\n| Recipient | Sir J.

This\n\nlatter is therefore excluded from any limitation, in order to\n\nguarantee the value of the coins and to strengthen the confidence of the general public in their employment. Fears may\n\nbe entertained that the non-imposition of a limit in the exchange of small coins will result in banks receiving a large number of these subsidiary coins, and will consequently give\n\ntemptation to counterfeiters. It must be remembered, however,\n\nthat there is a strict limit imposed on the number of coins to\n\nbe minted, that persons coming to make such exchanges will not\n\nonly be few but that the machinery for exchange is confined to\n\ncertain places.

The text then transitions into a coherent passage:\nbeen directed to proceed to Hongkong to make the necessary\n\ninvestigation from time to time.

M.'s\" assuming it refers to \"His Britannic Majesty's\".\n- Removed unnecessary spaces and corrected minor punctuation.\n\nThe corrected HTML for the coherent part is provided above. For the garbled parts, without clear context or correct OCR output, it's challenging to provide a meaningful correction.

No. 434) was only issued on the 31st last month.\n\nAs to G.S.O. Circular No. 37 of 14th December, 1909, the absconded shroff, as was well known to every one in the office, only called at the office for a few minutes in the forenoon and in the afternoon, except days when pay-ment was made into Bank, and during his absence I only received covers sent by firms and containing bills, compradore's order &c., and I handed the same to the shroff immediately on his arrival at the office. Paragraphs 2 and 3 of the same Circular do not concern me.\n\nAs to Treasury Circular of the 18th December, 1909, I received no instruction to discontinue signing bills for Light Dues before handing same to the shroff. It had been the practice for many years to sign bills before handing same to shroff for collection. Had I received instructions to the contrary, I would certainly have complied immediately.\n\nI have &c., (Sd.) Fan Tsung Hing.\n\nThe Honourable\n\nSir F. H.

But at first sight it seemed to me that if the Chinese Authorities could be encouraged to voluntarily hand over any fugitive criminal in much the same way as Mr. Langley describes the action taken by the United States of America the trial of such fugitive criminals would be immensely facilitated. For it needs no detailed description to set out the advantage of a local trial if it could be secured in spite of the fact that we have no bilateral treaty of extradition with China. Mr. Wei Han was (erroneously) understood to suggest this informal surrender, stipulating only that a Chinese Official should be sent from Canton to attend the trial and sit on the bench without taking any part whatever in the trial.

The principle is sufficiently clear where buildings are used exclusively for public purposes but difficult questions have arisen where officials' houses are included in the curtilage. I think this case is governed by Showers v. Chelmsford Union 1891. 1 Q.B. 331-60 L.J. (M.C.) 56 and Gambier v. Lydford 23 L.J. (M.C.) 69. In the former certain police officers occupied as residences part of a building vested by Law in a joint committee of the Justices and the County Council.\n\nThe whole building was under one roof and the whole premises were enclosed by a wall and were used solely for the purposes of the police. Each officer paid a rack rent for the premises occupied by him, such rent being deducted from his pay. The Court of Appeal held that the rule exempting from rateability property occupied for the purposes of the Government of the country did not apply to the premises occupied by the police officers as residences and that each of them was rateable to the relief of the poor in respect of his occupation. Lord Esher M.R. remarked \"Do the police officers occupy part of a public building which is used for public purposes and public purposes only, and which is such a building as must be deemed to be the property of and in the occupation of the Crown in the sense that it is occupied for the benefit of the public? It is one building?\". And Day J. said \"If the buildings are used as residences for the police officers were outside the wall which enclosed the buildings used for public purposes, they would according to the decisions be rateable\".", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-388 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1912 [1-2].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 437274, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-388 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1912 [1-2]", "page_number": 327, "title": "CO129-388 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1912 [1-2]", "content_text": "Date.\n\n7th Feb. 1912\n\nRe: Previous Paper No. 24686\n\nDr. Kelly (5340) is required by the Medical College, Colombo.\n\nC.O. 5340/321: Dr. Kelly cannot be spared until the arrival of his successor.

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

On the night of May \n23rd about 200 of them plundered Hsi Ts'un, a village on the \nwestern outskirts of Canton and, although finally driven off by \nthe Police, took with them $3,000 worth of booty.

Rees Davies, K.C., who sat with Mr. H. H. J. Gompertz (Puisne Judge), gave judgment in the motion heard by the Full Court in connection with the alleged embezzlement of $150,000, the property of the Kwangtung Government, by Chung Sau Nam.\n\nSir Francis Piggott, along with Mr. Alabaster (instructed by Mr. W. B. Hind and Mr. G. K. Hall Brutton), made application for a writ of Habeas Corpus, arising out of the Magistrate's decision in connection with the trial, and the application was opposed for the Crown by Mr. E. H. Sharp, K.C., Mr. Eldon Potter, and Mr. F. C. Jenkin (instructed by Mr. R. F. C. Master, of Messrs. Johnson, Stokes & Master).\n\nHis Lordship the Chief Justice delivered the following judgment:—\n\nIn the matter of Chung Sau Nam, a person detained in Victoria Gaol. These proceedings in Habeas Corpus are directed against a committal by a Police Magistrate of this Colony of the fugitive criminal for extradition under Section 10 of the Chinese Extradition Ordinance 1889. That Section is based on Section 10 of the Extradition Act of 1870.\n\nBefore coming to the facts, it is desirable to state the position of this Court in relation to the decision of the Magistrate under the Section nominated. There are abundant authorities to show that this Court is not a Court of Appeal from the Magistrate's decision on the evidence. The Court can only on an application for Habeas Corpus entertain the question of the jurisdiction of the Magistrate to commit, namely, whether the crime is an extradition crime or whether it is of a political character and whether there was any evidence upon which the Magistrate can commit (ex parte Siletti 18 T.L.R., 771, and see also R. v. Guerin, 60 L.T. 535; Buyuet, 29 L.T., 41; R. v. Maurer, 10 Q.B.D., 513; In re Arton, 1896, 1 Q.B., at 518).\n\nThe fugitive at the time of the alleged offences was superintendent (\"Kam Li\") of the Canton Treasury and Chan Kwing-ming was then Governor-General (Tutuh). On 4th August the Tutuh issued an order in Chinese under his signature addressed to the Commissioner of Finance, Treasury, the translation of which is as follows:-\n\n\"Please at once pay in foreign notes two hundred and fifty thousand dollars and remit to Shanghai to be sent in turn to Nanking to be used as Military expenditure. This is the order.\"\n\nThis order was received by the fugitive, Chung Sau Nam, was brought by him to the Treasury and $150,000 was paid to him and his receipt and seal or chop affixed to the order. There was also a paying-out slip made out by an official of the Treasury which was sealed or chopped by the fugitive. The reason for the order being honoured to the extent of $150,000 and not $250,000 is that there was not sufficient money in the Treasury to meet it. The payment was made by two cheques, one on the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank at Canton for $100,000 and the other for $50,000 on the International Bank at Canton. It appears, then, from the affidavit of the fugitive dated 18th October, 1919, and made in a civil action pending, that he subsequently obtained drafts on Hongkong and International Bank in Shanghai for the two sums of money from branches of the two Banks.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-410 - Governor Sir May - 1914 [3-5].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 447541, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-410 - Governor Sir May - 1914 [3-5]", "page_number": 83, "title": "CO129-410 - Governor Sir May - 1914 [3-5]", "content_text": "In regard to the contention that the Warrant of committal is bad because it does not show that prisoner is a Chinese subject, it is in the form prescribed by the Ordinance and is I think valid. (See judgment in Wong Ka Cheong, 1, H.K.L.R., at p. 12.) I think I have dealt with all the points of substance which were put forward in Argument.\n\nIn my opinion the rule must be discharged, but following the course adopted in re Arton (1896, 1, Q.B.D., at p. 518), we propose to remit the warrant of committal to the Magistrate, expressing the view of the Court that so much of the charge on which the committal was ordered as relates to the crime of embezzlement should be eliminated.\n\nPage 82\n\nMr. Justice Gompertz (Puisne Judge) delivered a concurring judgment of equal length to that of the Chief Justice. After outlining at some length the facts, he said:-\n\nNow the first criticism I have to make is that the authors of the manifesto never meant apparently to set up a Government independent of the rest of China.\n\nThe purpose of the movement is stated to be the impeachment and punishment of Yuan, who is described as contriving to rebel against the Republic and to break up the federation. The solidarity of Kwang-tung with the northern provinces is expressly affirmed. The unity of the Republic is its constant theme. Furthermore, it is pointed out that the word in the manifesto which is translated \"Province,\" essentially and in its true meaning signifies not an independent State, but a territory subordinate to the Republic of China. Similarly the expressions **Tutuh\" and \"Grand Tutuh\" indicate the Governor of a subordinate province and not the head of an independent territory.\n\nAgain it is part of the case for the fugitive that Chan assumed the title of Commander-in-Chief of the expedition for punishing Yuan, that he sent telegrams to other provinces, that some other provinces joined the rebellion and that the order issued by him on the Treasury was for money for the payment of rebel troops at Nanking.\n\nOn the facts before us it seems clear that the object of the movement in Kwangtung was to get rid of the Provisional President, who was regarded I suppose as hostile to Republican principles and as aiming at despotism. There is no evidence whatever of an intention to separate Kwangtun from the other provinces. Again, and this is very important, whatever their plans may have been it seems clear that the insurgents never succeeded in establishing an Independent Government or anything like it.\n\nIf rebellion has to be successful in order to attain the dignity of revolution then it is clear that Chan and his followers were never more than mere rebels.\n\nThe movement in Kwangtung at any rate was hopelessly abortive and never got beyond the stage of a paper rebellion. In 16 days the insurrection in Canton had collapsed apparently without firing a shot or striking a blow. Its troops were in flight and its leader a refugee sheltering under foreign flag. On the evidence before us it seems that there was no revolt of the province as a whole. A party in Canton, apparently small in numbers and feeble in influence, did desire to turn the President out of office. That they achieved a temporary show of success seems due merely to the accident that one of their number was at that time holding the office of Governor of the Province.\n\nBut it was the merest flash in the pan. On the withdrawal of Chan a Governor loyal to Peking was at once appointed by the merchants.\n\nThe short-lived revolt had flickered out; but troops from outside did not reach Canton until a week later. Is it possible to hold that some...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-410 - Governor Sir May - 1914 [3-5].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 447883, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-411 - Governor Sir May - 1914 [5-7]", "page_number": 101, "title": "CO129-411 - Governor Sir May - 1914 [5-7]", "content_text": "93\n\ntheir opinion that it could be built for $32,000. At that time, however, no detailed drawings had been prepared for the structure. After the approval of the proposal to make the addition Messrs. Denison, Ram and Gibbs forwarded in due course detailed drawings for the Tower. These were passed to Mr. Fisher for guidance in carrying out the work. Mr. Chatham did not scrutinise the drawings because Messrs. Denison, Ram and Gibbs had been appointed Consulting Architects for this particular building. Mr. Chatham's view, in which I concur, is that he was in exactly the same position as regards this building as he was in regard to the Law Courts for which Messrs. Sir Aston Webb and Ingress Bell were Consulting Architects. That is to say he had no responsibility as regards the building beyond the carrying out of the plans sent to him by the Consulting Architects. Subsequently owing to the unsatisfactory nature of the drawings for the roof of the building, it was deemed desirable to scrutinise carefully the drawings for the Tower. This work was entrusted to Messrs. Gale and Perkins, Executive Engineers, and as a result of their report it was decided to substitute masonry for the brickwork in which the greater portion of the Tower had been designed. The result has been the largely increased cost noted in Mr. Fisher's letter.\n\nThe question of responsibility for the faulty design was carefully considered by Sir F. Lugard, who eventually decided not to take action for damages against Messrs. Denison, Ram and Gibbs but to compromise with that Firm by paying them a commission on their original estimate of the cost of the Tower. The letter, copy of which forms enclosure D in Mr. Fisher's letter was forwarded to Government by Mr. Chatham in April, 1912. Mr. Chatham explained that he had not forwarded it earlier \"because the accounts for the work were in a very incomplete state. It was not till November last that I was in a position to report the approximate total cost and forward an explanatory statement with regard to it.

With reference to his statement at the top of this page, I think it would be beneficial to give Mr. Fisher to understand that, if he has any desire to resign, no obstacle will be placed in the way of his doing so and no reflection will be cast upon his personal honour.\n\n13. With regard to the further statements on this page, it must be borne in mind that the Law Courts were designed by Messrs. Aston Webb & Ingress Bell and the Post Office by Messrs. Denison, Ram & Gibbs, both of whom were under contract to supply practically the whole of the drawings required. Mr. Fisher's duties were, in great measure, confined to the supervision and measuring of the work and the certifying of payments to the Contractors. Great friction occurred between him and Messrs. Denison, Ram & Gibbs and ultimately the arrangement whereby this firm supplied the drawings of the Post Office was terminated on the 31st December 1909.\n\n14. The sin of not having provided Mr. Fisher with assistance prior to 1903 cannot be laid at my door. I took charge of the Department on Mr. Ormsby's departure in March 1901 and, in forwarding the Establishment Estimates for 1902, I pointed out that the staff was in my opinion quite inadequate and asked for the appointment of two additional Assistant Engineers. My recommendation was submitted by the Secretary of State to Mr. Ormsby, and, as the result, the Secretary of State intimated that only one additional officer would be appointed who would not leave England before the 1st January 1902.

The British Bank actually \nopened an account with the Bank of China with some \n$500,000 of new notes. Then when a requisition for silver was made on the local agent here by the Chinese Legate, the former presented them with a cheque drawn on the Bank of China, which the Chinese Legate refused to accept. The agents of the British and German Banks then threatened to present the whole of their new notes for encashment, and had they attempted to put their words into deeds, the result might well have been to break the Bank of China before it had been two months in existence. It must be remembered that no arrangements had at this time been made in Peking as regards this question, and it was not until July 18 that the Ministry of Finance agreed to the two Banks in question meeting requisitions by the tender of new notes in lieu of silver, the reserve being simultaneously increased by $2,500,000, and the credit of the Bank of China thereby maintained. \n\nApart from this somewhat unaccountable attitude of the British and German Banks during the progress of redemption, no other hitch occurred in any of the working \narrangements", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-412 - Governor Sir May - 1914 [7-8].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 450054, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-415 - Governor Sir May - 1914 [12]", "page_number": 206, "title": "CO129-415 - Governor Sir May - 1914 [12]", "content_text": "202\n\nsaw I .M. data tuoda 2900350 1.7II yapanƐ nọ\n\n„NE OF STOQer a shan naatsoq Ɛè,ot be ezetzel unitzor\n\nenog bed vaenisti a bar nça s'andboumi „zi taut bias a\n\n„otae a bonaqo ban bra donată noitentaiṣof ont ofni\n\n.mi klot bra tnew nedit I bna start muc ́t was ban beɔood\n\nI\n\n-ak mittaK .T\"!\n\nbewollot I\n\nITELSTS* » po mne tu spa develey 9,1700*\n\n„ÍDNATA DELðantakpan aid of tase ɣietaibom\n\nboisa nitTAI „T „žnažnwoová and,basi „t, cela bna\n\n7867 Bina od bra „szad? yalob saw sử thần kom 'solbalaf\n\n973 MOT?

I mentioned that, in addition to architectural work, such a sub-department would have to deal with water works, masonry dams, filter beds, sewerage works, roads & bridges, lighthouses, drainage, seawalls, piers.

A case that might be instanced is that of a firm telegraphing an order for glass wherein certain dimensions and number of panes of each size had to be given, with the result that a difference of some 20% to 25% was shown over Continental costs.\n\nIt appears, however, as pointed out above, that with certain safeguards code telegraphy might be again allowed, and in this connection I might be allowed to suggest that all telegrams in code would have to be subject to \"franking\" at the Consulate-General. The question of fees for this service might also be considered, as was done during the Revolution of 1910 with regard to the Chinese Telegraph Administration.\n\nMy Committee are of opinion that the matter is of sufficient importance to warrant their asking you to draw the attention of His Majesty's Minister to the subject by cable.\n\nI have, &c.,\n\n(Signed) C.

The composition of this Committee is so well known to your Excellency and this Council that I am certain its carefully considered opinion will not fail to carry the weight it deserves with the Secretary of State for the Colonies.\n\nI think, these men when they come back, if they find the Germans established here in the same old way! The thought to me would be intolerable, as I think it would be to them.\n\nHON. MR. I. E. POLLOCK--Sir, I submit that this resolution ought to be accepted by the Government, supported, as it is, by the expert opinion of the business-men composing the Committee of the Hongkong Chamber of Commerce. On such a matter as this the opinion of such a body is entitled to the greatest possible weight. It is sought by this motion to pass on that opinion to the Secretary of State for the Colonies. Surely that is a very proper course for this Council to adopt. I would even go so far as to say that it is the positive duty of this Council to pass on this opinion of business-men to the Secretary of State, seeing that that official is the representative of the Crown Colonies upon the Imperial Committee which is sitting to consider post-war trade problems.\n\nHON. MR. C. E. ANTON--Sir, I beg to second the motion. The proposer of the motion has gone so very largely over the ground that I think it is not necessary for me to go into details, which would only cause repetition. But I am in accord, fully in accord, with the motion's contention; the desirability of excluding Germans for a period of years from this Colony. It has been said, and rightly said, that we are not warring against the German people, and at the beginning of the war there was an element of truth in that, Sir. But I think it can be said that from the beginning the entire German nation has been warring against us and our Allies. And if they had been successful in their world-wide designs I am sure that if they had accomplished their ends the rest of the world would have had very little consideration and sympathy from our enemies.\n\nNow it is reported that some sections of the people in Germany are blaming their rulers for the position they have got themselves into. But, after all, Sir, I think that the people are responsible for the Governors, and I think, that being so, we must hold the people of Germany responsible for all their atrocities and the violation of all laws, human and divine, which have been carried out. We cannot really, I think, exclude them from responsibility.\n\nAs regards the commercial side, we have heard it argued that the Germans should be excluded from the Colony, and there is something to be said for that, though I think it will not carry very much weight. We must look, I think, to the sentimental side of the position which, to a large extent, governs such things throughout the world. And we must act, I think, on principles of humanity, righteousness and justice.\n\nAnother point I ought to make, and that is in connection with the men who have gone home to fight, many of them, alas! who have made the last sacrifice. We hope that a large number of them will return, and what do we think these men would...\n\nSurely this Colony, through its Council, must have the right to instruct its own representative. Surely, we are not going to be told that either the Constitution of this Colony or instructions from the Secretary of State forbid the passing of such a resolution as this. Then what other argument can be advanced for not acceding to this motion? Are we to be told that this motion cannot be accepted on the plea that it will embarrass the Home Government? Such a plea would, I submit, be absolutely unsound, for the reason that this resolution involves no conflict whatever between this Council and the Home Authorities. We are simply asking for leave to lay the views of this Colony, this important outpost of Empire in the Far East, before the Home Authorities. Are we to be refused such leave!\n\nSir, I have considered this resolution, and the possible grounds of Government objection to it, from every point of view, and I have been finally forced to one conclusion, namely, that, if the Government refuses to vote for this motion, it can do so logically and constitutionally on one single ground only, namely, on the ground that it does not agree with this resolution.\n\nNow, as I have already urged, the opinion of the Committee of the Chamber of Commerce ought to be conclusive with the Government upon the mercantile aspect of this question. Therefore, as a mere matter of cold business, there can be no doubt that this motion ought to be accepted by the Government.\n\nBut, Sir, this resolution has something more behind it than mere dollars and cents. We are fighting the cause of civilization against barbarism.\n\nAfter listening to what my hon. colleagues opposite have said I am still not certain that if the suggested measure were enforced it would be in the best interests of the Colony. It may be so and it may not be, for no-one can tell for certain what will happen in the next ten years.\n\nAt a recent meeting at the Aldwych Club, Sir Edward Carson, the First Lord of the Admiralty, said: \"We have to deal with an enemy who has set at naught all humanities which, as the result of centuries, have been embodied in our International Law.\" That is the opinion of a very eminent lawyer, and, when we consider the nature of some of those breaches of law, such as the indiscriminate submarining of passenger and hospital ships, and the wholesale sowing of the seas with floating mines, and when we also consider the brutal treatment meted out to our prisoners-of-war, by German women as well as by German men, we must surely refuse a welcome back to our shores to people of German nationality--people who are not only brutal to the living but even desecrate the remains of the dead.\n\nSir, my honourable friend has pointed out that the Dominions are at one with us in their sentiments upon this subject, and I would add that Great Britain is equally at one with us, for, at a recent meeting in London, Sir Algernon Firth, the President of the Association of Chambers of Commerce of the United Kingdom, said: \"Of this I am certain, that the people of this country will never again stand German intrigue and German spying and German monopoly and dishonest trading, such as have been tolerated for the last 20 or 30 years in this country. Let the Government back us up, and we will show that British producers are the best in the world. That is what we are asking for now. We are asking the Government to back us up.\"\n\nAt any rate, we have to bear in mind the surrounding countries. Unless these countries fall into line with us the advantage aimed at by the resolution would be nullified. However successful we might be in keeping the Germans out of this Colony it would be nothing without the co-operation of these surrounding countries to prevent the Germans from setting up competition close to our doors under no control whatever.\n\nAgain, Sir, it should be borne in mind that if the measure were to be adopted in Hongkong it would have to be applied to every part of the Empire. In my opinion it is an Imperial question and one that might well be left in the hands of the Imperial Government, which, strengthened by representatives from the Dominions and India, can safely be trusted to arrive at a conclusion in the highest interests of the Empire.\n\nIt is, therefore, Sir, with due deference and a proper sense of responsibility that I would suggest that the resolution be allowed to stand over.\n\nIn conclusion, Sir, I might say that I am in sympathy with that part of the resolution which suggests the placing of Germans under strict licence.\n\nHON. MR. WEI YUK--I beg to support all that has been said by my colleague. I shall vote against the resolution.\n\nTHE ATTORNEY-GENERAL--I do not propose, Sir, to address myself to the motion generally, but I would like to say a few words on two points. The hon. member who proposed the resolution supported it on two grounds. The first ground was one of sentiment. In sentiment I think we are all at one with him, and our inclinations point in the same direction.\n\nHON. MR. LAU CHU PAK--Sir, while sympathising with the object of the resolution, I am afraid I cannot support it in toto for reasons I am going to give. At the outset I would like to say that if I were to consult my own inclinations and wishes I would ask for the Germans to be excluded not only for ten years but 20 years, for ever and a day, for I have large interests in companies recently formed to secure a big share of the business formerly in the hands of the Germans.\n\nPage 35\n\n34\n\n196\n\nPage 34\n\n...\n\n...\n\nPage 196", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-442 - Governor Sir May - 1917 [4-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 467897, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-442 - Governor Sir May - 1917 [4-6]", "page_number": 200, "title": "CO129-442 - Governor Sir May - 1917 [4-6]", "content_text": "# HONGKONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL\n\ncan believe them. Therefore, our decision is that we cannot accept the resolution on its merits. I wish to say that I think the whole question has been summed up in a very terse and very statesmanlike manner by my gallant and hon. friend who sits on my right (the General Officer Commanding).\n\nHON. MR. HOLYOAK—Sir, before replying to the arguments I would like to ask the Hon. Mr. Lau Chu Pak if he has consulted the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in this matter.\n\nHON. MR. LAU CHU PAK—There has not been opportunity of consulting the Chinese Chamber of Commerce on the matter. I have consulted many of my friends outside and have expressed their opinions.\n\nnow policy of retaliation, I do not call it retaliation, I call it just retribution, and there is a wide and vast difference between the two words. It has been said that there will be no advantage if this resolution is carried out, and that no lasting peace will be assured. I cannot conceive a condition of peace within this Colony if any Germans are admitted within its domains within the next two years. Personally I should be the first to break the peace. Reference has been made to the punishment of the leaders who organised this war, and who have prepared for it for years, but no attempt has been made to rebut the argument made that this war is being waged by the German people, and the characteristics which have been displayed in the perpetration of the atrocities of this war are to be found in the national character of the people, man, woman and child, as I said before, and will not be eradicated for a term of years. Therefore we say that they are unclean and that we will not be associated with them if we can possibly avoid it. Accordingly I have avoided anything in moving the resolution which could be called exaggeration. One could speak with greater stress, and far greater freedom if one could draw a picture of the conditions which imagination, the aftermath of this war will inevitably produce. But the whole burden of my resolution has been lost sight of in every argument advanced against it. I do not ask this Council to endorse a resolution pledging this Colony to legislation that for ten years after the war Germans shall be excluded from coming within our shores. What I ask for and plead for is that we shall pass this resolution and send it home to the Home Government as an expression of the Colony's opinion; an expression of opinion coming from the commercial men of this Colony. The remarks which have fallen from H.E. the Governor are a deliberate flouting of the studied opinion of commercial men of the Colony, who have carefully considered the question and come to a decision, and to tell them they are mere pigmy champions compared with the past is an insult to the Chamber of Commerce—I cannot explain it how you can. With regard to the remarks which have fallen from my hon. Chinese colleague, I would point out that this resolution has been on paper for a fortnight, which gave ample time for him to consult with The Chinese Chamber of Commerce if he had desired to do so. Apparently he did not. I have also consulted many Chinese in connection with this matter, and many have told me their opinions.\n\nHON. MR. HOLYOAK—In dealing briefly with the debate which has just taken place, I would like in the first place to resent in the strongest possible manner the studied insult to the Committee of the Chamber of Commerce. We know exactly where we are. There is no longer any really big man in Hongkong. That covers a variety of firms whose interests cover millions and millions of dollars. And I am astounded that the Governor of the Colony should give utterance to such words. That being so, and that being the attitude which is being adopted towards the Chamber of Commerce, I will proceed to deal with the more or less weak arguments of the Government side. With reference to the past, the giants of commerce, whose shades have passed beyond the grave. They never had to deal with such problems as face us to-day in the world-wide war, a war which has been waged under conditions the like of which they never saw or dreamed could be possible. And I think, in the light of these studied, and I say so advisedly, these studied atrocities which have been perpetrated by the Germans in this war, and of which we have not yet reached the end, we are entitled to say that those are conditions which are new to the world and which must be faced anew. And I cannot believe that any man gathered around this table can face calmly the possibility of sitting, within two years from now, next to a German in any public building or in connection with any joint interests in this Colony. It has been said that what is advocated is a...\n\nPage 39\n\n...he had desired to do so. Apparently he what it involves is in the best interests did not. I have also consulted many of the Colony, so I leave it with you. Chinese in connection with this matter, and told not many...\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY—I have one more remark to make, and that is that I do not think any unprejudiced person would consider that the words I used in reference to the deceased William Keswick and the deceased Sir Thomas Jackson [Mr. HOLYOAK—And others] could, by any stretch of the imagination, be construed into an insult to the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce or its Committee. I will now put the motion.\n\nThe resolution was then put to the meeting, and the Governor declared that the \"Noes\" had it.\n\nChinese merchants have frankly that they desire the German trade to return to the Colony; they very much deprecated such trade and the system which had been adopted in the past. I was astounded to hear the words fall from the lips of the Attorney-General that there were some virtues in the credit system. There is a virtue in the credit system, provided it is under control, but, speaking from experience, and from a deep knowledge of the subject, I say that the credit system practised by the Germans, which was not controlled, was positively immoral. The British banks who helped them to use that credit realise it to-day. I know perfectly well that there is a section of the Chinese community which lived and had its being, so to speak, from the credit system which the Germans adopted in this Colony, and who have excluded for that reason the wider question embodied in my resolution. They remember that it was their living in the past. But there are wider questions then that for the Colony to deal with and therefore contained in my resolution. That resolution has been carefully considered by the Chamber of Commerce, and we are of the opinion that...\n\nHON. MR. HOLYOAK asked for a division, and this resulted as follows:—\n\nFor the resolution: Hon. Holyoak, Hon. Mr. Pollock, Hon. Mr. Anton and Hon. Mr. Shellim.\n\nAgainst the resolution: Hon.

Mr. Holyoak's motion, in favour of the exclusion of Germans from the Colony for a period of ten years after the war, has been rejected by the Legislative Council. It is an open secret that neither the mover of the resolution nor those who supported it expected that it would be passed. But, in bringing it forward and in fearlessly expressing their views concerning the Kaiser and his subjects, they have performed an act which we feel sure will win them a very wide measure of public approbation. We shall, indeed, be surprised if the matter is allowed to rest where it now lies, for we venture to think that if a plebiscite of the whole Colony were taken it would be found that the policy so eloquently pleaded by Messrs. Holyoak, Anton, and Pollock would have overwhelming support. If that belief is well founded, then yesterday's decision of the Legislative Council means nothing else than this—that the Colony has been muzzled by the body named, and that it is not to be permitted to express its opinions on what is the most vital local aspect of the war. In that connection, it is worth remembering that, of the nine members who voted against the resolution, seven were Official representatives.\n\nIn looking at this matter it is well that we should keep constantly before us the fact that the supporters of the resolution were not asking the Council to pass legislation embodying the idea expressed therein: they merely desired that the Council should confirm the motion as an expression of its opinion, and there they were willing to allow the matter to rest, letting the Imperial authorities know what the Colony of Hongkong thought on the post-war treatment of enemy subjects. That point, which appears not to have been fully grasped by the Official element, cannot be too strongly emphasised. However unpalatable the views set forth in the resolution may have been to the Official members—even if they were wholly impracticable—surely the Colony had a right to demand that on a question like this its opinions should be laid before the Home Government. To deny that right is to place Hongkong under an absolute autocracy.\n\nAmong the objections raised to the proposal, the one thing which will most strike the public eye is that the principal of these was that to discriminate against German ships and German business after the war would be to do infinite harm to the port. We should have thought that the business men of the Colony were the best judges on a point like that. At any rate, the motion came to the Council with the unanimous backing of the Chamber of Commerce, and, what is more, it was openly stated by the representative of the Chamber that British men of commerce were convinced that they could meet possible German competition from new centres and were prepared to face it. That is an effective answer to those who argue that German trade is essential to the development of the Colony—a contention that any Britisher should be ashamed to advance. One could not help detecting in the remarks of those who opposed the resolution an underlying suggestion that, while business men might be trusted to manage commercial matters well enough, they were out of their element in dabbling with questions of imperial politics, which should be left in the hands of \"statesmen.\" But we would take leave to point out that this is the era of the business man. The Empire has had about enough of the professional politician, and it is not without its significance that, in the hour of its greatest trial, it has called to the inner councils of the nation men of commerce—men who are unlikely to be influenced by a sickly sentimentality which would greet the Hun barbarians as brothers immediately the war is over.\n\nPage 203", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-442 - Governor Sir May - 1917 [4-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 467908, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-442 - Governor Sir May - 1917 [4-6]", "page_number": 211, "title": "CO129-442 - Governor Sir May - 1917 [4-6]", "content_text": "346\n\nEndlosure\n\nTHE HONGKONG WEEKLY PRESS AND\n\nSHALL WE INVITE THE GERMANS TO RETURN?\n\nCHAMBER OF COMMERCE RE-AFFIRM THE\n\nCOMMITTEE'S DECISION.\n\nEXCEPTION TAKEN TO H.E.

Mr. HOLYOAK, who was loudly applauded as he entered the room, and also when he rose to speak, said:- As it is past the hour for which this meeting was called I will proceed to address the meeting upon the subject for which you have been called together this afternoon. Briefly it is this.\n\nThat a resolution which was unanimously adopted by your elected committee was rejected in the Legislative Council, and we have now brought it before the meeting to endorse or not as seems fitting to you.\n\nThe resolution which I have to propose, and which in substance is identically the same as that proposed in the Legislative Council in your name, is as follows:-\n\nIt is the opinion of the Chamber that it is in the best interest of the Colony of Hongkong that persons of German nationality should be excluded therefrom for a period of at least ten years following the declaration of peace; and, that, subsequently, they be only admitted into the Colony under strict licence.\n\nNow, gentlemen, I contend that, speaking on behalf of the Chamber, there was not the slightest need on the part of the Government to debate this resolution.\n\nIt was largely academic, it did not seek legislation, it merely asked that the considered, and carefully considered, opinion of your elected Committee should be put before the authorities at Home, who are shortly to meet to consider this very question. We claim that we have a right to a voice, inasmuch as while the greater Colonies will be represented directly by their own representatives, we as a Crown Colony will be represented by the Secretary of State for the Colonies, and therefore a direct communication from this Chamber in no uncertain manner should be sent Home, quite apart from Government despatches and recommendations which might not be known to us.\n\nNow, gentlemen, we further contend that this resolution was never seriously discussed by the Government in Council, and that His Excellency's speech, if it was not flippant in argument, was at any rate unfortunate, to say the least of it, in its choice of language. (Hear, hear.)\n\nIt has been said, it was said in Council, that the appeal made was largely one appeal based on sentiment, and was one which ignored economic facts. In the first place, gentlemen, it is impossible in connection with this war to ignore sentiment. (Applause.) The entry of England into this war in the very first place was entirely and absolutely due to sentiment, namely, that we should fulfil our treaty obligations to the nation of Belgium.\n\nAnd, gentlemen, it is impossible to conceive that as a result of this war sentiment in connection with it will die down for many years to come, and therefore we cannot afford to ignore it. (Applause.) You will notice that I am endeavouring in presenting this case to present it without passion, and to deal with it calmly and logically as it presents itself and as I trust it will appeal to you.\n\nCommittee, I propose now to deal with the economic argument to which, it has been said, we did not sufficiently dwell upon.\n\nGentlemen, I really felt it was unnecessary to argue it at length because the disclosures in connection with the liquidations were such common property in this Colony that it did not seem necessary to argue them at length, but as it seems desirable to speak more fully upon it I will proceed to do so.\n\nI said in my speech that the return of the Germans to Hongkong would be inimical to the interests of Hongkong. That is the basis of our economic argument. (Applause.)\n\nTo your Chamber, and to your Committee, I propose now to deal with the economic argument to which, it has been said, we did not sufficiently dwell upon.\n\nGentlemen, I really felt it was unnecessary to argue it at length because the disclosures in connection with the liquidations were such common property in this Colony that it did not seem necessary to argue them at length, but as it seems desirable to speak more fully upon it I will proceed to do so.\n\nI said in my speech that the return of the Germans to Hongkong would be inimical to the interests of Hongkong. That is the basis of our economic argument. (Applause.)\n\nTo your\n\n[April 27th, 1917.\n\n209\n\n349\n\n8\n\nApril 27th, 1917.] CHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT.\n\ndevelopment any big commercial\n\ncome the expression of opinion of businessmen of Hongkong, men, gentlemen, that at least 60 per cent. of the German trade in this Colony was done in British cargo. Now, gentlemen, let us pause for a moment to consider what that means.\n\nI mean that if we are not alive to the possibility of competition, and knowing well we can meet them and overcome them, then we shall deserve all the competition we may possibly have to meet.\n\nThe Hon. Sir PAUL CHATER- then said: Gentlemen, while I yield to none in my detestation and horror of the Germans and the unspeakable atrocities committed by that nation since the commencement of the War, at the same time I cannot find myself in accord with the suggestion that it is in the best interests of the Colony of Hongkong that persons of German nationality should be excluded therefrom for a period of at least 10 years following the declaration of peace, and that subsequently they be admitted into the Colony under strict licence,\" save and except under conditions which are, I am convinced, beyond the bound of practical politics, namely, that the same stand be adopted and maintained by all the Allies in the Far East- France, Russia, Japan and most particularly China.\n\nGiven these conditions, then I am with you. Except under these conditions to exclude the Germans from our Colony would be merely to drive them to neighbouring trade centres, where once established they would prove a serious menace to our welfare and trade, not to mention the loss of benefits to be derived from the use of our Harbour by their shipping, and of shipping under their control. (Voice-Rot. They have no shipping. Who wrote it?)\n\nI deem it inexpedient that I should here mention in detail the place where they could exert and unless China sides with us) so establish themselves in our immediate neighbourhood.\n\nThey must be as well-known to you all as to me, but I shall be only too pleased to give my views in full to your Committee if and when they wish.\n\nIt has been argued that with no coaling facilities on the way German shipping will find a difficulty in reaching these distant waters, but can we for a moment suppose that she will not find means to overcome this difficulty? What about the use of oil fuel in place of coal? It would be easy enough for steamers using oil to reach Dutch ports in the East Indies and there replenish their stock for the further voyage to China, and Japan.\n\nThat China has at the moment broken off diplomatic relations with Germany we all know, and I trust that the day is not far distant when she will be numbered amongst our Allies; but to imagine for a moment that when peace is established she will continue to decline to trade with her is to my mind absurd.\n\nI have read that the German Concessions at Tientsin, Hankow and elsewhere, now being taken care of by China, will eventually be handed back to her, and we know Germans to-day are tolerated and trading in Shanghai.\n\nI maintain then to exclude them from this Colony only would be a suicidal policy. (Voice-No, no.) It may be said that we have got on very well and prospered without them during the war-granted but shall we not do so to a greater degree on their return! (Voice No.) Nor do I think we have much to fear for our trade from their competition for many years to come, particularly in view of the statement which has been put forward that they will have to compete without the banking and discount facilities in London which they formerly enjoyed.\n\nIn support of the remarks of our worthy Chairman as regards this resolution, and to add that it might be considered a matter of common and ordinary precaution.\n\nGentlemen. We desire these sentiments to be sent home to the Home Government.\n\nThe Prime Minister, very wisely, since the beginning of the war, has acted in consultation with the best technical and business brains of the country-(applause)-and we are encouraged to think that his Government will welcome...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-442 - Governor Sir May - 1917 [4-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 467910, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-442 - Governor Sir May - 1917 [4-6]", "page_number": 213, "title": "CO129-442 - Governor Sir May - 1917 [4-6]", "content_text": "Page 361\n\nTHE HONGKONG WEEKLY PRESS AND\n\nApril 27th, 1917.\n\nuttered not many weeks ago and within it will not be eradicated. It was shown most clearly when the Lusitania was sunk. A public school holiday was given throughout Germany, at which the Hymn of Hate, among other things, was sung. This is one of the verses of the Hymn of Hate:-\n\nWe will never forgo our hate. Hate by water, and hate by land, Hate of the head and hate of the hand. Hate of the hammer and hate of the crown, In love as one, we hate as one, Hate of seventy millions choking down; We have one foe, and one alone- ENGLAND\n\nGentlemen, whatever may happen as the result of this war—and we believe we are about to enter the beginning of the final stage of the struggle, I do not say victory is in sight, but the beginning is approaching—it is certain that if Germany is brought to her knees and the Prussian spirit is crushed for ever, it will be remembered by the German people for all time that it was England who stopped them getting into Paris. Yet you are asked to admit these people within the bounds of the Colony, remembering that this hate is there and that it will not be forgotten by them, more than by us, for many years to come. (Applause.) I shall probably be told in the papers to-morrow that this is a policy of retaliation, and that it cannot be defended upon any Christian ground whatsoever. I have no hesitation in saying that it is not a policy of retaliation; it is just retribution. (Loud applause.) So much, gentlemen, for the question of sentiment, which cannot be excluded from this argument, say what you will.\n\nNow, gentlemen, I come to the question which, after all, is the most important of all. I have been charged in anonymous letters with not dealing fully with the question of the practicability, and elsewhere with the impracticability, of this suggestion. I contend, with the Hon. Mr. Anton, that it is not merely a question of pounds, shillings and pence, and we want to try and prove that you cannot avoid the question of sentiment in viewing the aftermath of this war.\n\nIt was shown the contines of this building by an eminent American professor who is well qualified to speak as a student of international history. These are the words he uttered: Speaking of the arguments of Frederick the Great, designed for the political instruction of the Hohenzollern dynasty, he said:\"Here we have the beginnings of that which has led to all that has happened since.\"\n\nIf a ruler is obliged to sacrifice his own person for the welfare of his subjects, he is all the more obliged to sacrifice treaty engagements, the continuance of which would be harmful to his country. Is it better that a nation should perish, or that a Sovereign should break his treaty? \"Do not be ashamed of making interested alliances from which you yourself can derive the whole advantage.\"\n\nThese words represented the sowing, a century and a half later Nietzsche wove the gospel of force into a sort of system, this doctrine being the doctrine of the super-man and the inalienable right of the giant to act as the giant of the powerful to overwhelm and trample upon the powerless.\n\nThen came Bernhardi, soldier and military strategist, and a frank expounder of the same philosophy. His book, 'Germany in the Next War,' presented, in all its ugly brutality, the philosophy of force.\n\nAnd, mark you, if we do not support this resolution we are practically telling these men that we are going to welcome back with open arms the murderers of their comrades in the mercantile marine. (Applause.) And I say it is here that we owe it to those who are fighting that we should be prepared to make sacrifices, if necessary, both in recognition of what they have done for us, and because, ultimately, we believe, it will be for the national welfare. (Applause.)\n\nNow, gentlemen, interwoven by education in the German people that you will not eradicate it, even though they are defeated, for many years to come. Let me quote to you words in support of this, which were uttered not many weeks ago.\n\nPage 363\n\nApril 7th, 1917.] CHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT.\n\nThis is an important place, and we want in this matter to hold out a hand to those who, we believe, will think and act with us. (Loud applause.) This is a question upon which this Colony is so much stirred that we cannot remain mute.\n\nI contend, also, that it would be directly to the benefit of the Colony that we should exclude Germans from re-entry into our port for a period of years. (Applause) Gentlemen, at the outbreak of war the liquidations proved that there was no less than $10,000,000 trade of this port revolving in credit, which had passed out of the control of the merchant and, in some cases, remaining still in Hong Kong, though in the hands of the Chinese dealer; and, in other cases, already passed up country—and these were all out on credit, and had not been paid for.\n\nOne of the greatest difficulties the liquidators had to deal with was to obtain the money due for these goods, which had been delivered on credit terms, and, in some cases, on very long credit terms. Now I contend that the liquidations have proved this, if they have proved nothing else, that when the cargo arrived, the cargo which was hypothecated against certain bills and on which \"letters of lien\" had been given, was delivered to the Chinese merchant and the money obtained for it was used, not for paying off that liability but for meeting other bills long overdue.\n\nThe Hon. Mr. H. E. POLLOCK, who was loudly applauded on rising to second the resolution, said I have very much pleasure in seconding the resolution which has been so eloquently proposed by my honourable colleague on the Legislative Council.\n\nGentlemen, we are very proud that we did so. (Loud applause.) We did so in order that we might honour our plighted word to Belgium. (Applause.) We did so to show that a treaty must not be treated as a \"scrap of paper.\"\n\nThe explanation of that was this. The goods were sold on credit and they were often sold very much below the market. They were identical with goods, in some cases, which had been imported and were really lying ready for sale, for spot cash, in godowns in Hongkong, and could have been delivered by British merchants that very day.\n\nBut the German firms in question knew that they had bills falling due in the near future, and therefore they had to go on not only selling, but, what was more important, they had to go on buying in order that their credit might revolve.\n\nI think, gentlemen, on very broad lines, it was no uncommon thing for a Lancashire manufacturer or Manchester middle-man, to come to this Colony during periods of intense trade depression, when the merchants were absolutely unable to do any trade whatsoever, because business was practically stagnant.\n\nShall we admit or re-admit German shipping to our ports? In the first place, if we are to adopt the \"ton-for-ton\" policy which has been righteously demanded as one of the conditions of settlement in this war (applause)—it will be some years before we need seriously consider the question of German shipping. (Applause)\n\nGentlemen, are we to cower down before the Germans and to say we are afraid that if they do not return to this Colony they will take away the trade of this Colony? (Cries of \"No, no.\") Are we not perfectly capable and competent to look after ourselves (Applause.)\n\nLet us show that we are united and indivisible in peace also. (Applause.) Let us cultivate our shipping and trade and commerce between the different parts of our Empire. (Applause.) Let that be the memorial which we lay humbly at the feet of those who have fallen in this war. (Loud and prolonged applause.)\n\nThe CHAIRMAN then announced that the meeting was open for discussion, and Mr.\n\nPage 364", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-442 - Governor Sir May - 1917 [4-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 467916, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-442 - Governor Sir May - 1917 [4-6]", "page_number": 219, "title": "CO129-442 - Governor Sir May - 1917 [4-6]", "content_text": "Enclosure/\n\nExtract from a speech by Sir Henry Kay,\n\n1.\n\nIt is the world-wide organisation known as the Y.M.C.A., an association of young men formed on a Christian basis.\n\nNot, as some seem to suppose, is the Y.M.C.A. in the sense of being restricted to professedly Christian only. Its membership is open generally, irrespective of religious belief. It is non-sectarian and inter-denominational and in no sense in opposition to existing Churches but freely co-operating with all. I would like to say that under the Y.M.C.A. organisation, it is only necessary for the Board of Directors to be Christian. Any other members can be of any religion they like.\n\nThe members of any Association may organise within it clubs, societies, including Bible classes, etc., for self-improvement, and the participation in these organisations is quite voluntary. No attempt is made to cram religion down any man's throat. The local Y.M.C.A., like every other branch, is entirely self-governing. Its control is in the hands of the Board of Directors of fifteen men elected for three years, five retiring each year.\n\nThe Directors are elected at the annual meeting, nominations having been made at least one week in advance by Directors or other members. The Directors elect their own officers: President, Vice-President, Recording Secretary, and Hon. Treasurer. The Directors engage a General or Executive Secretary to carry out their policies and to assist them in finding a suitable Secretary, they may ask the co-operation or recommendation of the Y.M.C.A. leaders at home or elsewhere.\n\nThe Board of Directors alone has power to inaugurate any new policy or authorise the expenditure of money, but the details may be entrusted to sub-committees appointed by and responsible to the Board. The local Board has several sub-committees, one of which is the Membership or Balloting Committee.\n\nEvery applicant must be proposed by a member or the Secretary. Applicants must be approved by the Membership Committee. The Board of Directors may veto the action of any Committee.\n\nI believe it has been asked whether Germans would be allowed to join the Y.M.C.A. When I read the names of the Board of Directors and the names of the Committee recommended to be appointed as Balloting Committee, I don't think there is any more chance of alien enemies joining the Y.M.C.A. after the war than there is of them joining the Hongkong Club.\n\nThe present Board of Directors consists of myself, Chairman, Messrs. Pollock, Holyoak, Stabb, Edkins, Anton, Dodwell, Moss, Kempthorne, Rev. Copley Moyle, Mr. G. Piercy, and Mr. Sykes of the Diocesan School. I think any club might be proud, if I except myself, with a Board of Directors constituted by gentlemen whose names I have read.\n\n\"The Y.M.C.A. is now organised in every important city in the Empire. It has a tradition behind it, a settled policy. Unlike a merely local club, it is not isolated or experimental.

After reconsidering the whole situation the Committee are of opinion that further six British vessels might be withdrawn from these routes to meet urgent national requirements without dangerously affecting the vital requirements of the Colony. They appreciate that additional urgent demands for tonnage may arise, and recommend that opportunity be provided in that event for reconsideration of the tonnage position before further ships are withdrawn, as by that time the effect of recent withdrawals will be better known.\n\nThere is no question but that the recent requisitioning of both local and ocean tonnage is causing the Colony to suffer a considerable diminution of trade, as is instanced by merchants making urgent representations to the Chamber of Commerce on the subject. In this connection we think it necessary to point out that besides the 50% of British local tonnage already requisitioned, the bulk of British ocean tonnage trading with the United Kingdom and the Atlantic Coast of America has been withdrawn, heavily reducing the means of imports and exports for trade and industries. Further, the whole of the Blue Funnel Pacific Ocean tonnage, trading between Hongkong and Canada and the Western Coast of U.S.A. and representing over a year the import of 68,698 tons and export of 40,725 tons has been withdrawn. This greatly affects the supplies of timber, steel, and many commodities for industries including shipbuilding and shiprepairing in the Colony, and restricts the export trade not only from Hongkong but also from India, Colombo & the Straits.\n\nWe have &c.,\n\n(sd.)\n\nG.

Will the Government state whether the attention of the Secretary of State for the Colonies is especially drawn on all occasions to motions made by Unofficial members which have been defeated by the use of the Official majority against the unanimous vote of Unofficial members of Council?\n\n3. Will the Government also state whether on all occasions when a Bill, or any part of a Bill, is passed by the use of the Official majority, against the unanimous vote of the Unofficial members of Council, a special explanation is given to the Secretary of State for the Colonies to justify the use of the Official majority, and are the circumstances of different cases fully set forth in a special despatch?\n\nMr. A.

Such reports contain, where necessary, a statement explanatory of the reason for the official vote. A search through the Hansard reports of a number of years shows that there have been one or two exceptions, as, for instance, at the following pages:-1907 page 38; 1911, page 117; 1911, page 285; 1912, page 102.\n\nIt is intended that the premises of the Deutsche Asiatische Bank and all other immovable property in the Colony of Hong-kong belonging to German firms which are being wound up under the Alien Enemies (Winding-up) Ordinances, 1914 to 1917, shall be sold by public auction within the course of the next 4 months.\n\nIt is proposed that all the sales shall be advertised for a period of 3 months, and that the sale of the premises of the Deutsche Asiatische Bank shall also be readvertised for that period. If the latter property were sold at a few days' notice intending purchasers might be greatly inconvenienced and embarrassed, as they may have to obtain instructions from United Kingdom or elsewhere.\n\nRETURN OF THE GERMANS.\n\nHon. Mr. P. H. HOLYOAK, in accordance with notice of motion, moved the following resolution :-\n\n\"It is the opinion of this Council that it is in the best interest of the Colony of Hongkong that persons of German nationality should be excluded therefrom for a period of at least 10 years following the declaration of peace; and that, subsequently, they be only admitted into the Colony under strict licence.\"\n\nIn doing so he said-Sir, I rise to make the following motion standing in my name :-\n\n\"It is the opinion of the Council that it is in the best interest of the Colony of Hong-kong that persons of German nationality should be excluded therefrom for a period of at least ten years following the declaration of Peace; and, that, subsequently, they be only admitted into the Colony under strict licence.\"\n\nIn speaking to the motion, and because I am most anxious to avoid anything in the nature of exaggeration on so important and far-reaching a matter as this, I crave the indulgence of your Excellency and the Council if I make rather free reference to notes.\n\nAt the outset, I would say that we do not presume to dictate to the Home Government on a question which affects all parts of our wide-flung Empire, but, it is only a few days since your Excellency called attention in a meeting of the Legislative Council to the not wholly unworthy efforts of this Colony to help the Motherland in her hour of need in one way or another, and we contend that these and our large annual military contribution entitle us, at any rate, to indicate our wishes to the Home Government, and, with all deference, I believe that such a pronouncement will be welcomed by them for guidance when the whole question comes up for decision.\n\nAustralia, Canada and New Zealand have, I believe, already indicated their wishes in no uncertain manner, and Hongkong with its great commercial interests surely cannot be excluded, especially when it is remembered that at the forthcoming Imperial Conference whilst the Dominions have their own representatives, Hongkong, with other Crown Colonies, will be represented by the Secretary of State for the Colonies.\n\nIt is noteworthy that in recent speeches made by prominent world politicians an attempt is made to draw a line of demarcation between the German Government and the German people, and there is only too much cause to fear that directly peace has been declared we shall hear on all sides that it was the Prussians who made the war and that we have no quarrel with the peaceful Germans.\n\nSir, the spirit which on the outbreak of war led to the disgraceful attacks in Berlin upon the Russian, French, and especially the British Embassies and compelled our Ambassador to slink out of Berlin in the grey dawn, lost his party being attacked on departure; to the invasion of Belgium, with its attendant cold-blooded atrocities, as \"Military necessity\" in defiance of sacred treaties: and later, to the murder of women and children on land and sea whilst German officers and men looked on and jeered; and, later still, to the starvation and torture of wounded and helpless prisoners-of-war-this spirit is not the product of the war, but is the Prussian spirit which permeates the whole German nation-man, woman and child-and which will take years to eradicate, and we say that the people who can rejoice over nameless crimes, such as these, who revel in the pernicious doctrine that \"might is right\" and that necessity justifies any crime, however damnable in the eyes of the world it may be, and who can celebrate such an atrocious act as the sinking of the Lusitania by declaring a public school holiday, to say nothing of the deliberate murder of Edith Cavell and Captain Fryatt and countless other horrors, are not fit to be received hereafter into the brotherhood of Nations until they have expiated their crimes against God and civilization and truly reformed their ways.\n\nSpeaking for the Mercantile Community of Hongkong, which has by far the largest stake in the Colony, I say that we have no desire to be-indeed, that we will not be, if it can be avoided-associated in this Colony, either socially or commercially, with men and women who thus failed to realize what honour, justice and mercy mean, who acknowledge neither International obligations nor treaty unless they stand to gain by doing so, and in whose nature there is no chord which vibrates to the claims of either.\n\nA close study of the causes which led up to this terrible war and of Germany's deliberate acts thus far will convince anyone who is not blind to the truth that they are the inevitable result of the pernicious teaching of her professors and philosophers during the last two decades, and of the military and naval ambitions which were fostered by her rulers till the present Armageddon was the climax. Beyond all this and as an argument which more particularly affects the welfare of Hong-kong, I have no hesitation in saying that the results of the German liquidations have abundantly proved that we are better without the Germans in trade, and that the vast business they created to our disadvantage was the result of most pernicious credit system which did infinite harm to the Colony and which, when the Germans were interned, left an aftermath of evil in the shape of huge accumulations of stocks, which the market could not possibly digest and which took months of weary efforts to disperse, whilst British trade languished in proportion and is still doing so.\n\nWith the internment of our enemies, the trade of the port, by common consent, and thanks to the energy of the Chamber of Commerce, was once more placed upon a sound basis. I will not weary you with concrete examples, but I say, unhesitatingly and without fear of contradiction, that the trade of the Colony is to-day in a healthier state than for years past, and in the name of British trade interests I plead with you that Germans shall not be allowed to return to the Colony for at least ten years to recommence their \"Prussian tactics\" in trade which did the Colony so much injury in the past.\n\nFurther, I cannot help feeling that we have delayed too long in giving China a lead in this connection, and that a bold declaration of our views may strengthen her own and inspire her to join the Allies whole-heartedly in declaring war upon the enemies of progress and induce her to intern or banish those within her boundaries; the more so when she recalls the fact that this same Prussian spirit unblushingly reveals itself in the Kaiser's instructions to his troops during the Boxer Rebellion \"to show no quarter and to teach the Chinese the might of Germany's military fist and never to look askance at a German, and which is commemorated by the Ketteler Memorial\" in Peking.\n\nIn conclusion, and lest it be urged that we have overlooked possible German competition from new centres to the detriment of Hong-kong, let it be said that, while we recognize such competition may arise, we are convinced it can be successfully met and are prepared to face it, especially when it is remembered that German firms are unlikely for years to come to receive the great assistance they did from British banks and discount houses in London in pre-war days and, I hope, will never do again.\n\nFinally, I would remind you that the views I have endeavoured, however incompetently, to set forth are unitedly shared and endorsed by the Committee of the Chamber of Commerce, which, at a recent meeting specially convened to consider the whole matter, unanimously adopted the identical motion on which I am now addressing you. The composition of this Committee is so well known to your Excellency and this Council that I am certain its carefully considered opinion will not fail to carry the weight it deserves with the Secretary of State for the Colonies.\n\nHon. Mr. C. E. ANTON-Sir, I beg to second the motion. The proposer of the motion has gone so very largely over the ground that I think it is not necessary for me to go into...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-443 - Governor Sir May - 1917 [7-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 468447, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-443 - Governor Sir May - 1917 [7-9]", "page_number": 210, "title": "CO129-443 - Governor Sir May - 1917 [7-9]", "content_text": "Cei\n\n- 13\n\nhelped them to use that credit realise it would day, I know perfectly well that there is a section of the Chinese community, which lived and had its being, so to speak, from the credit system which the Germans adopted in this Colony, and who have excluded for that reason the wider question embodied in my resolution. They remember that it was their living in the past. But there are wider questions than that for the Colony to deal with and therefore contained in my solution. That resolution has been carefully considered by the Chamber of Commerce and we are of the opinion that what is involved is in the best interests of the Colony, so I leave it with you.\n\nwith them if we can possibly avoid it. Accordingly, I have avoided anything in moving the resolution which could be called exaggeration. One could speak with greater stress and far greater freedom if one could leave oneself free to imagination, and draw a picture of the conditions which the aftermath of this war will inevitably produce. But the whole burden of my resolution has been lost sight of in every argument advanced against it. I do not ask this Council to endorse a resolution pledging this Colony to legislation that for ten years after the war Germans shall be excluded from coming within our shores. What I ask for and plead for is that we shall pass the resolution and send it home to the Home Government as an expression of the Colony's opinion; an expression of\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY--I have one more opinion coming from the commercial men of mark to make, and that is that I do not think this Colony. The remarks which have fallen from H.E. the Governor are a deliberate flouting of the studied opinion of commercial men of the Colony, who have carefully considered the question and come to a decision, and to tell them they are more pigmy champions compared with the past is an insult to the Chamber of Commerce--explain it how you can. With regard to the remarks which have fallen from my hon. Chinese colleague, I would point out that this resolution has been on paper for a fortnight, which gave ample time for him to consult with the Chinese Chamber of Commerce if he had desired to do so. Apparently, he did not. I have also consulted many Chinese in connection with this matter, and many Chinese merchants have told me frankly that they did not desire the German trade to return to the Colony; they very much deprecated such trade and the system which had been adopted in the past. I was astounded to hear the words fall from the lips of the Attorney-General that there were some virtues in the credit system. There is a virtue in the credit system, provided it is under control, but, speaking from experience, and from a deep knowledge of the subject, I say that the credit system practised by the Germans, which was not controlled, was positively immoral.

Mr. P. H. Holyoak in connection with the same subject. The Hon. Mr. P. H.

Mr. HOLYOAK, who was loudly applauded as he entered the room, and also when he rose to speak, said:-As it is past the hour for which this meeting was called, I will proceed to address the meeting upon the subject for which you have been called together this afternoon. Briefly, it is this. That a resolution which was unanimously adopted by your elected Committee was rejected in the Legislative Council, and we have now brought it before this meeting to endorse or not, as seems fitting to you. The resolution which I have to propose, and which in substance is identically the same as that proposed in the Legislative Council in your name, is as follows:-\"It is the opinion of the Chamber that it is in the best interest of the Colony of Hongkong that persons of German nationality should be excluded therefrom for a period of at least ten years following the declaration of peace; and, that, subsequently, they be only admitted into the Colony under strict licence.\" Now, gentlemen, we contend that, speaking on behalf of the Chamber, there was not the slightest need on the part of the Government to debate this resolution. (Applause.) It was largely academic; it did not seek legislation; it merely asked that the considered, and carefully considered, opinion of your elected Committee should be put before the authorities at Home, who are shortly to meet to consider this very question.\n\nWe claim that we have a right to a voice, inasmuch as while the greater Colonies will be represented directly by their own representatives, we, as a Crown Colony, will be represented by the Secretary of State for the Colonies, and therefore a direct pronouncement from this Chamber, in no uncertain manner, should be sent Home, quite apart from Government despatches and recommendations which might not be known to us. Now, gentlemen, we further contend that this resolution was never seriously discussed by the Government in Council, and that His Excellency's speech, if it was not flippant in argument, was at any rate unfortunate, to say the least of it, in its choice of language. (Hear, hear.) It has been said, it was said in Council, that the appeal made was largely based on sentiment and was one which ignored economic facts. In the first place, gentlemen, it is impossible in connection with this war to ignore sentiment. (Applause.) The entry of England into this war, in the very first place, was entirely and absolutely due to sentiment, namely, that we should fulfil our treaty obligations to the nation of Belgium. (Applause.) And, gentlemen, it is impossible to conceive that, as a result of this war, sentiment in connection with it will die down for many years to come, and therefore we cannot afford to ignore it. (Applause.)\n\nYou will notice that I am endeavouring, in presenting this case, to present it without passion, and to deal with it calmly and logically, as it presents itself to your Committee, and as I trust it will appeal to you. I propose now to deal with the economic argument, which it has been said we did not sufficiently dwell upon. Gentlemen, I really felt it was unnecessary to argue it at length, because the disclosures in connection with the liquidations were such common property in this Colony that it did not seem necessary to argue them at length; but, as it seems desirable to speak more fully upon it, I will proceed to do so. I said in my speech that the return of the Germans to Hongkong would be inimical to the interests of Hongkong. That is the basis of our economic argument. (Applause.) I have no hesitation in saying that at least 60 per cent. of the German trade in this Colony was done in British cargo.\n\nNow, gentlemen, let us pause for a moment to consider what that means. To all of us who are intimately acquainted with the textile trade, and largely from my own practical and personal experience, it has been well known that there have been many occasions in the past ten years where Lancashire travellers in this Colony have reported large sales to German firms when British merchants, who had precisely the same cargo lying in their godowns and were prepared to accept spot cash prices for it, were unable to sell. And yet large sales took place. Why? Because the whole basis of the textile trade, and of other trades in connection with German business here, was built up upon a credit basis, for which the credit had to be kept revolving.\n\nTherefore, it did not matter what the times were, whether they sold at a loss or sold at a profit, it was essential to them, in order to carry on their trade, not only to go on selling, but, what was more material to them, to go on buying. That is a point I wish to enforce and ask you to dwell upon. I also wish to emphasise the point that British merchants of this Colony were opposed in their trade by goods made by Lancashire firms, which were sold at a loss by Germans, and sold merely to keep the credit revolving, in order to meet due bills.\n\n- 15 -\n\nwere sold at a loss by Germans, and sold merely to keep the credit revolving in order to meet due bills. In defiance of obligations in connection with trust deeds and bills, they misapplied funds which should have been used for paying off, without indefinite delay, due bills. I say again, that that sort of business was immoral from first to last. (Applause.) I ask you, gentlemen, whether you are prepared to admit back into your midst men who are prepared to reconstitute this kind of business when, after much pains and tremendous struggling, the trade of the Colony has once more been put upon a sound cash basis. (Voice—No.) And as I said in the Council, the condition of this Colony to-day is healthier and sounder than it has been for many years past. Allow them to come back and seek to do trade, which, from the very nature of things, they must offer on terms which no self-respecting British firm would think of accepting.\n\nI did not speak of the wider credit system of trade to which the Attorney-General made reference. The trade in the Hinterland, where large Government and engineering contracts are concerned, and where there may be opposition to British firms, may have been allowed to lapse somewhat, and we think it may be possible that British firms will have to consider its development upon credit lines, with the assistance of the banks, in order that the trade of the Hinterland should be more widely pushed than it has been in the past. It is true that in the past we have left much of that trade to our German competitors. We have realised now that a large trade was done, and possibly a paying trade was done, and that it must be developed, possibly on similar lines, but we shall endeavour to make them sounder.\n\nIt was further hinted that if you did not allow the Germans to return to Hongkong, it might lead to the development of Swatow, Amoy, and other outports, with railway communication between those places and Canton, and possibly the development of other parts. Gentlemen, in the first place, I doubt very much whether, for some years to come, they will be financially in a position to finance any big railway scheme or any big commercial development scheme. But if they were, I have no hesitation in saying that if the British merchants of this Colony allow them to do so, it serves them right; and when I say that, I mean that if we are not alive to the possibilities of competition, and, knowing well we can meet them and overcome them, and do not try to, then we shall deserve all the competition we may possibly have to meet.\n\nIf we do not work hand in hand with the Chinese Government in connection with railway development between Swatow and Canton, and we allow other people to do it, then we deserve the competition. In conclusion, and in putting this resolution to you, I would say that the question of a time limit of ten years, so far as your Committee is concerned, is merely an academic term for the sake of argument.\n\nWhen the resolution was proposed, it was not proposed with the idea of carrying into effect any definite action within this Colony. It was not understood that it should be so; it was merely desired that an expression from the Colony should go to the Home Government for their consideration in connection with Imperial Legislation; and it was equally realised that, whatever the Imperial Authorities at Home might decide, this Colony would have to fall in with them, and would do so gladly. (Applause.) But we did contend, and we do contend, that we have a perfect right to express independently our views to the Imperial Authorities at Home on that very point. (Applause.) Further, I am prepared to say, in regard to the period of ten years, that if the meeting wishes it, we are prepared to modify the resolution in that respect, so that it meets with general acceptance.\n\nWe are most anxious that the views should go forward from this meeting with positively and absolutely united action, if we can possibly see eye to eye together in that connection. Gentlemen, I leave the resolution in your hands. (Applause.)\n\nThe Hon. Mr. C. E. ANTON—Those of you who read my speech at the Legislative Council may probably have recognised that I based my argument chiefly on sentimental grounds, not from the commercial point of view, though I have my views on that. After all is said and done, we cannot guide our policy by a mere matter of pounds, shillings, and pence. (Applause.) I am aware that there are arguments, strong arguments, on both sides of the question; and, though, personally, I think we should combine ourselves against German opposition of any kind, yet, at the same time, I should like to hear further views expressed, as I am not a long resident here. That is all I have to say in seconding the resolution.\n\nMr. E. V. D. PARE—Without trespassing upon the valuable time of the meeting, I would like to record my cordial support of the remarks of our worthy Chairman, as regards this resolution, and to add that it might be considered a matter of common and ordinary precaution. Gentlemen, we desire these sentiments to be sent home to the Home Government. The Prime Minister, very wisely, since the beginning of the war, has acted in consultation with the best technical and business brains of the country (applause)—and we are encouraged to think that his Government will welcome the expression of opinion of businessmen of Hong...\n\n201", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-443 - Governor Sir May - 1917 [7-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 468451, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-443 - Governor Sir May - 1917 [7-9]", "page_number": 214, "title": "CO129-443 - Governor Sir May - 1917 [7-9]", "content_text": "204\n\n20\n\nfound in this.

And, lastly, we have been told that it is impracticable, and that we have not dealt fully with the economic reasons which are inevitably bound up with it. Now, gentlemen, I propose briefly, and as far as lies in my humble power, to deal with those three points of view before putting this resolution.\n\nI said in the Chamber that you cannot avoid the question of sentiment in viewing the aftermath of this war, and there I feel that I am upon certain and incontrovertible ground. (Applause.) It is not in the name of things for those of us who have already been touched by the war, by personal loss or the loss of relatives, and those who will be so touched before the end of the war, to forget it for many years to come. (Applause.) Neither can we forget the manner in which some of them died—the atrocities which brought their end, the agonising death-struggle through gassing, the wholesale murder by the sinking of unarmed and defenceless ships, the hurling of shells through Zeppelin raids upon the undefended coast and the interior towns of England where women and children were shattered mercilessly, the murder of Edith Cavell, and the assassination of Captain Fryatt, which the men of the mercantile marine are not likely to forget for many years to come. And, mark you, if we do not support this resolution we are practically telling these men that we are going to welcome back with open arms the murderers of their comrades in the mercantile marine. (Applause.) There are the Belgian atrocities, which occurred in the opening events of this war, right down to the last and most horrible of all—the sinking of hospital ships with defenceless and maimed creatures on board going to a place of refuge. These are horrors which cannot be forgotten for many years to come. (Hear, hear)\n\nI want to try and prove to you that this German characteristic of brutality is so interwoven by education in the German people that you will not eradicate it, even though they are defeated, for many years to come. Let me quote to you words in support of this, which were uttered not many weeks ago and within the confines of this building by an eminent American professor who is well qualified to speak as a student of international history. These are the words he uttered—Speaking of the arguments of Frederick the Great,\n\n— designed for the political instruction of the Hohenzollern dynasty, he said:—“Here we have the beginnings of that which has led to all that has happened since.” I quote it to you.\n\n“If a ruler is obliged to sacrifice his own person for the welfare of his subjects, he is all the more obliged to sacrifice treaty engagements, the continuance of which would be harmful to his country. Is it better that a nation should perish, or that a Sovereign should break his treaty?\n\n“Do not be ashamed of making interested alliances from which you yourself can derive the whole advantage. Do not make the foolish mistake of not breaking them when you believe your interests require it.\n\n“When he is about to conclude a treaty with some foreign Power, if a Sovereign remembers he is a Christian, he is lost.\n\n“These words represented the sowing. A century and a half later Nietzsche wove the gospel of force into a sort of system, this doctrine being the doctrine of the superman and the inalienable right of the giant to act as a giant; of the strong to dominate the weak; of the powerful to overwhelm and trample upon the powerless. Then came the great historian, von Treitschke, breathing the philosophy of force into the very soul of Germany. ‘Why talk of founding colonies?’ he said. ‘Let us take Holland, then we shall have them ready-made.’ Then came Bernhardi, frank expounder of the same philosophy, soldier and military strategist, and in his book, Germany in the Next War, presented, in all its ugly brutality, the philosophy of force. Germany may explain the Lusitania, the Ancona, she may explain the Gulf Light, the Persia, the Sussex and the Yasaka Maru. She may indemnify without apologizing. She may apologize without indemnifying. The marvellous richness of the German tongue will never enable her to justify her presence in Belgium, or those tiny corpses now forever entombed in the iron coffin of the Lusitania. For this generation, the word Kultur, like Pompey's statue, drips with blood.” (Applause.)\n\nBut even now, gentlemen, that spirit has been so breathed into the very soul of the people, as it has been explained there, that it is part and parcel of their national attitude of mind, and I say that for many years to come it will not be eradicated. It was shown most clearly when the Lusitania was sunk. A public school holiday was given throughout Germany, at which the Hymn of Hate, among other things, was sung. This is one of the verses of the Hymn of Hate:—\n\n“You we hate with a lasting hate. We will never forgo our hate. Hate by water, and hate by land. Hate of the head and hate of the hand. Hate of the hammer and hate of the crown. Hate of seventy millions choking down; We love as one, we hate as one, We have one foe, and one alone—\n\nENGLAND!” Gentlemen, whatever may happen as the result of this war—and we believe we are about to enter the beginning of the final stage of the struggle, I do not say victory is in sight, but the beginning of the end is a result of this war, approaching it, as Germany is brought to her knees and the Prussian spirit is crushed forever, I pledge my word to you that it will be remembered by the German people for all time that it was England who stopped them getting into Paris. Yet you are asked to admit these people within the bounds of the Colony, remembering that this hate is there and that it will not be forgotten by them, any more than by us, for many years to come. (Applause.)\n\nI shall probably be told in the papers to-morrow that this is a policy of retaliation, and that it cannot be defended upon any Christian ground whatsoever. I have no hesitation in saying that it is not a policy of retaliation; it is just retribution. (Loud applause.) So much, gentlemen, for the question of sentiment, which cannot be excluded from this argument, say what you will.\n\nIn reply to the argument that the time is inopportune—which, after all, is the policy of “wait and see” which wrecked the Asquith War Cabinet—I contend that unpreparedness and inefficiency brought us within deadly peril of defeat, and blindly to shut our eyes to the future and say we cannot now decide questions which affect the vast war issues is to admit practically the same fault which has been charged against Great Britain over and over again by her very foes. (Applause.) And I say it is here and now, before the war comes to a definite issue, this Colony, jointly with other Colonies which have already raised their voices, should declare in no uncertain manner that, if it be in the Empire's interests, we will not have the Germans back. (Applause.)\n\nI have said clearly that we do not seek to dictate—nor do we to the Imperial authorities. All this meeting seeks to do, and all that I have striven to do up to now, is that the voice of this Colony might be represented at the debate which must inevitably take place as to the post-war policy of the Allies. (Applause.) It would be presumption and folly to say that this Colony alone should exclude Germans. If it were decided that, for the benefit of the Empire as a whole, they should be allowed to re-enter the Colonies and our great possessions, Hongkong would not be backward in admitting them if told to do so in the interests of the Empire, though we certainly would not welcome them. (Applause.)\n\nNow, gentlemen, I come to the question which, after all, is the most important of all. I have been charged in anonymous letters and elsewhere with not dealing fully with the question of the practicability, or impracticability, of this suggestion. I contend, with the Hon. Mr. Anton, that it is not merely a question of pounds, shillings and pence, and we owe it to those who are fighting that we should be prepared to make sacrifices, if necessary, both in recognition of what they have done for us, and because, ultimately, we believe, it will be for the national welfare. (Applause.) But I contend, also, that it would be directly to the benefit of the Colony that we should exclude Germans from re-entry into our port for a period of years. (Applause.)\n\nGentlemen, at the outbreak of war the liquidations proved that there was no less than $10,000,000 worth of goods, to say the very least, revolving in credit, which had passed out of the control of the merchant—in some cases remaining still in Hongkong, though in the hands of the Chinese dealer; and, in other cases, already passed up country—and these were all out on credit, and had not been paid for. One of the greatest difficulties the liquidators had to deal with was to obtain the money due for these goods, which had been delivered on credit terms, and, in some cases, on very long credit terms.\n\nNow I contend that this $10,000,000 worth of trade was very largely over-trading, and therefore unsound trading, and the proof of that is that this Colony has been suffering from it for nearly two and a half years and is only just beginning to recover from it. And, at the risk of wearying you, I want to argue this point a little more definitely, because the papers were not clear in their statements with regard to the Chamber of Commerce meeting at which I dwelt upon this very point.\n\nIt was no uncommon thing for a Lancashire traveller, representing a Lancashire manufacturer or Manchester middleman, to come to this Colony during periods of intense trade depression, when the merchants were absolutely unable to do any trade whatsoever, because business was practically stagnant, and for us to hear of very large orders being placed with the travellers who visited the Colony. The explanation of that was this. The goods were sold on credit and they were often sold very much below the market. They were identical with goods, in some cases, which had been imported and were really lying ready for sale, for spot cash, in godowns in Hongkong, and could have been sold...\n\n21-", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-443 - Governor Sir May - 1917 [7-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 468472, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-443 - Governor Sir May - 1917 [7-9]", "page_number": 235, "title": "CO129-443 - Governor Sir May - 1917 [7-9]", "content_text": "225\n\nside as dove sail daktila jastroqui to sve loun ent niatniam ext evreaños of rebro ai oɛls bræ ‚entí sttvolað saidɔ-obni ,yenom bas Trodal down to eruðibaeque dit iw qu +Ikud „Iliwboog ambea di .arotitequco neila od gaisunq mới?

As hon. members are aware, the Government has during recent years engaged in building quarters for the subordinate European Staff, including Overseers, Revenue Officers, Railway Staff, and Sanitary Inspectors, and practically the whole of this staff is now adequately housed. In the estimates for the last three years the Council has voted rent allowances for certain European married officers on small salaries, pending the erection of quarters to be occupied by such officers at a moderate rental; and in the estimates for the current year provision has been made for commencing the erection of these quarters at Leighton Hill. These rent allowances approximate to the difference between the rents which the married officers in question are in fact paying and the rents which the Government proposes to charge when the quarters are available for occupation.\n\nThe case of...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-443 - Governor Sir May - 1917 [7-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 468706, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-443 - Governor Sir May - 1917 [7-9]", "page_number": 469, "title": "CO129-443 - Governor Sir May - 1917 [7-9]", "content_text": "Enclosure 3.

I understand that the hon. and learned Attorney-General has differed with me on that point, inasmuch as the granting of medals is an act of Royal favour. But I would point out that it is not like the conferring of a knighthood or the conferring of decorations. There are certain regulations passed at Home with regard to the conferring of long service medals for a certain period of service in the Volunteers or auxiliary forces.\n\nTherefore, Sir, it appears to me, with all deference to the learned Attorney-General, that the proper way of dealing with this matter is for some clause to be inserted, some sub-clause inserted in Clause 10, to state that the service shall be deemed to be continuous in the way I suggest for the purpose of the long service medals. While I am dealing with the question of medals, I would like to say that I have just received a communication with reference to the counting of the service of ex-army or navy men who are serving in the Volunteers or auxiliary forces, or in the Defence Corps of this Colony, for the long service medals. I frankly admit, Sir, that this is a matter which cannot be put by way of an amendment to the present Bill, but I propose in a day or two to send this recommendation to your Excellency through the proper channel, the Colonial Secretary.\n\nWith regard to Clause 11 of the Bill, \"Duration of Ordinance,\" I would suggest that the word \"be\" be inserted after the word \"Force\" and before the word \"until,\" so that the clause shall read quite clearly and emphatically, as follows:-\" This Ordinance shall continue in force only until the expiration of a period of six months from the conclusion of the present war.\" I will now consider the question of the regulations which are attached to the Bill. Hon. members only received them this morning, and I notice that the new regulations contain somewhat stringent forms with regard to periodical training than the former regulations.\n\nWith regard to the general principle of these regulations, no doubt they would like to accomplish what the Prime Minister would call \"silver bullets,\" to be contributed to the war loans, than they would be in being employed on garrison or guard duty. I notice that your Excellency on page 55 of Hansard reports for the year, on the first reading of this Bill, on August 2nd made use of the following words: \"In the correspondence with the Secretary of State which preceded the appointment of the Commission, I recommended, after consultation with His Excellency the General Officer Commanding, under date of the 22nd January, 1917, that compulsory service for local defence should be imposed, that a wider use of the local force should be made, and that a further reduction in the regular garrison should follow to a stage at which every member of the existing Volunteer Force must be considered indispensable for the defence of the Colony.\"\n\nNow, Sir, speaking with the utmost respect, I must confess that I regard that as the wrong ideal to aim at. As is well-known, the officers of this Colony are working, most of them, with considerably reduced staffs, and I would also point out that in many of these offices, employés have been out here for many years, and the war does not appear to any of us to be likely to come to an end for some time yet. Therefore, I suggest that in the fourth year of this war it is only before the word \"until\" that the clause shall read quite clearly and emphatically.\n\nIt must be remembered that it is practically physically impossible for one and the same man to be soldiering by night and to perform his civilian duties by day. If it were possible, Sir, it would be desirable, but my point is that it is absolutely impossible, however willing anybody might be. I know these Volunteers and Reserves are quite willing, and have come forward splendidly, but they cannot perform the impossible.\n\nWith regard to musketry practice, no doubt that is the primary essential, and the only criticism I have to make on that is not made only by myself but by many members of the Reserves. Sometimes it happens that a whole number of men have been called upon to go through their musketry practice, and a great waste of time and patience has resulted. So it is no good getting a whole crowd of men to indulge in musketry practice, for it is very unsatisfactory for them to have to wait for hours in the afternoon, waiting for their turn to come on at the ranges.\n\nHON. MR. E. C. ANTON- I should like to say a few words in support of the second reading of the Bill. At a meeting of this Council some months ago His Excellency the General Officer Commanding made a remark to the effect that the object of war is to ensure peace. But I think there is a apter saying that to ensure peace we must be prepared for war. Great Britain has gone through a painful and terrible experience owing to her military unpreparedness and the nation must see to it that in future we are not found napping as we have been in the past.\n\nI saw stated in a letter to one of the newspapers here that the Bill, if passed, will impose upon the community of Hongkong a militarism akin to German militarism. (The Governor.-Hear, hear.) I do not think it will do anything of the kind. German militarism is an aggressive militarism, and it has been fostered entirely for the purpose of conquest, whereas the object of our military training is to ensure peace and to defend our Colony.\n\nWith regard to the question of drill, I must confess that I am not satisfied that so many drills are necessary. That seems to be the view at all events in the Colony of Ceylon, for in that happy island if a man puts in 45 drills in the course of a year he receives a special badge as a kind of order of merit, and I see that under this Bill it is proposed to make 50 drills compulsory.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-443 - Governor Sir May - 1917 [7-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 468739, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-443 - Governor Sir May - 1917 [7-9]", "page_number": 502, "title": "CO129-443 - Governor Sir May - 1917 [7-9]", "content_text": "COPY.\n\nConstitutional Reform Association of Hongkong.\n\n483\n\nVice-President Hon.

Hon. Mr. H. E. POLLOCK—Sir, I have been asked by my unofficial colleagues on the Council to speak on their behalf on the subject of this Bill. In the first place, we desire to congratulate your Excellency and the Colony upon the favourable nature of the Revenue figures which you have been able to lay before us, and to express our satisfaction with the fact that the Government is turning its attention to the compilation of trade statistics. Before dealing with items in this year's Budget, I propose to occupy the attention of the Council for a few minutes by pointing out that there are certain matters, referred to by unofficial members, in their Budget speeches a year ago, which are still unremedied, namely:-\n\n1. The improvement of the lunatic asylum, which we repeat is highly discreditable to the Colony.\n\n2. The malodorous state of the foreshore on Praya East, which tends rapidly to get worse.\n\nIn connection with this foreshore we would submit two suggestions:-\n\n1st—That the power of the Naval and Military authorities to drain into the Harbour, unchecked apparently by any...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-444 - Governor Sir May & Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1917 [10-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 469415, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-445 - Public Offices - 1917", "page_number": 289, "title": "CO129-445 - Public Offices - 1917", "content_text": "$85\n\nالشمعة\n\nPASTR AMINO OTH\n\n27601/10F/17).\n\nLA SALLE coke... testadisi ar teÍRNACZ\n\nayton Dalugar 100 Blackoún E\n\nFOREIGN OFFICE, 3.W.).\n\n3eptember 25th, 1917,\n\n285\n\n10.\n\nJAMIIGÓ NEM SERIJ, så statuary\n\nto agres\n\n* TO BECTRO tril3o\n\n*S.IRE TA\n\nSiri-\n\nI am directed by Fr.

Mr. P. H. HOLYOAK asked the following questions:- \n\n1. Will the Government state whether the attention of the Secretary of State for the Colonies is especially drawn on all occasions to motions made by Unofficial members which have been defeated by the use of the Official majority? \n\n2. Will the Government also state whether on all occasions when a Bill, or any part of a Bill, is passed by the use of the Official majority, against the unanimous vote of the Unofficial members of Council, a special explanation is given to the Secretary of State for the Colonies to justify the use of the Official majority, and are the circumstances of different cases fully set forth in a special despatch? \n\n3. Will the Government state when the German Bank and other \"immovable\" German private property will be sold by public auction? \n\n4. Having regard to the fact that the German Bank property has already been advertised for the prescribed period of three months, will it be considered necessary to advertise it again for any period longer than a few days? \n\nPage 484", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-445 - Public Offices - 1917.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 469617, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-445 - Public Offices - 1917", "page_number": 491, "title": "CO129-445 - Public Offices - 1917", "content_text": "Finally, I would remind you that the views I have endeavoured, however incompetently, to set forth are unitedly shared and endorsed by the Committee of the Chamber of Commerce, which, at a recent meeting specially convened to consider the whole matter, unanimously adopted the identical motion on which I am now addressing you. The composition of this Committee is so well known to your Excellency and this Council that I am certain its carefully considered opinion will not fail to carry the weight it deserves with the Secretary of State for the Colonies.\n\nHon. Mr. C. E. ANTON—Sir, I beg to second the motion. The proposer of the motion has gone so very largely over the ground that I think it is not necessary for me to go into details, which would only cause repetition. But I am in accord, fully in accord, with the motion's contention; the desirability of excluding Germans for a period of years from this Colony. It has been said, and rightly said, that we are not warring against the German people, and at the beginning of the war there was an element of truth in that, Sir. But I think it can be said that from the beginning the entire German nation has been warring against us and our Allies. And if they had been successful in their world-wide designs I am sure that if they had accomplished their ends the rest of the world would have had very little consideration and sympathy from our enemies. Now it is reported that some sections of the people in Germany are blaming their rulers for the position they have got themselves into. But, after all, Sir, I think that the people are responsible for the Governors, and I think, that being so, we must hold the people of Germany responsible for all their atrocities and the violation of all laws, human and divine, which have been carried out. We cannot really, I think, exclude them from responsibility. As regards the commercial side, we have heard it argued that the Germans should be excluded from the Colony, and there is something to be said for that, though I think it will not carry very much weight. We must look, I think, to the sentimental side of the position which, to a large extent, governs such things throughout the world. And we must act, I think, on principles of humanity, righteousness, and justice. Another point I ought to make, and that is in connection with the men who have gone home to fight, many of them, alas! who have made the last sacrifice. We hope that a large number of them will return, and what do we think these men would think, these men when they come back, if they find the Germans established here in the same old way? The thought to me would be intolerable, as I think it would be to them.\n\nPage 8\n\nHon. Mr. H. E. POLLOCK—Sir, I submit that this resolution ought to be accepted by the Government, supported, as it is, by the expert opinion of the business-men composing the Committee of the Hongkong Chamber of Commerce. On such a matter as this the opinion of such a body is entitled to the greatest possible weight. It is sought by this motion to pass on that opinion to the Secretary of State for the Colonies. Surely that is a very proper course for this Council to adopt. I would go so far as to say that it is the positive duty of this Council to pass on this opinion of business-men to the Secretary of State, seeing that that official is the representative of the Crown Colonies upon the Imperial Committee which is sitting to consider post-war trade problems. Surely this Colony, through its Council, must have the right to instruct its own representative. Surely, we are not going to be told that either the Constitution of this Colony or instructions from the Secretary of State forbid the passing of such a resolution as this. Then what other argument can be advanced for not acceding to this motion? Are we to be told that this motion cannot be accepted on the plea that it will embarrass the Home Government? Such a plea would, I submit, be absolutely unsound, for the reason that this resolution involves no conflict whatever between this Council and the Home Authorities. We are simply asking for leave to lay the views of this Colony, this important outpost of Empire in the Far East, before the Home Authorities. Are we to be refused such leave? Sir, I have considered this resolution, and the possible grounds of Government objection to it, from every point of view, and I have been finally forced to one conclusion, namely, that, if the Government refuses to vote for this motion, it can do so logically and constitutionally on one single ground only, namely, on the ground that it does not agree with this resolution.\n\nPage 1\n\nAt the outset I would like to say that if I were to consult my own inclinations and wishes I would ask for the Germans to be excluded not only for ten years but for ever and a day, for I have large interests in companies recently and expressly formed to secure a big share of the mercantile business formerly in the hands of the Germans. But this resolution, Sir, is based on higher motives and on public grounds, and it is precisely on the same grounds that I have reluctance in taking up the position I am taking. After listening to what my hon. colleagues opposite have said I am still not certain that if the suggested measure were enforced it would be in the best interests of the Colony. It may be so and it may not be, for no one can tell for what will happen in the next ten years or 30. At any rate, we have to bear in mind the surrounding countries. Unless these countries fall into line with us the advantage aimed at by the resolution would be nullified. However successful we might be in keeping the Germans out of this Colony it would be nothing without the co-operation of these surrounding countries to prevent the Germans from setting up competition close to our doors.\n\nIt should be borne in mind that if the measure were to be adopted in Hongkong it would have to be applied to every part of the Empire. In my opinion it is an Imperial question and one that might well be left in the hands of the Imperial Government, which strengthened by representatives from the Dominions and from India, can safely be trusted to arrive at a conclusion in the highest interests of the Empire. It is therefore, Sir, with due deference and with a proper sense of responsibility that I would suggest that the resolution be allowed to stand over. In conclusion, Sir, I might say that I am in sympathy with that part of the resolution which suggests the placing of Germans under strict licence.\n\nHon. Mr. Lau Cau PAK—Sir, while sympathising with the object of the resolution, I am afraid I cannot support it in toto for reasons I am going to give.\n\nHon. Mr. Wai YU—I beg to support all that has been said by my colleague. I shall vote against the resolution.\n\nThe ATTORNEY-GENERAL—I do not propose, Sir, to address myself to the motion generally, but I would like to say a few words on two points. The hon. member who proposed the resolution supported it on two grounds. The first ground was one of sentiment. In sentiment I think we are all at one with him, and our inclinations point in the same direction.\n\nPage 486", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-445 - Public Offices - 1917.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 469619, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-445 - Public Offices - 1917", "page_number": 493, "title": "CO129-445 - Public Offices - 1917", "content_text": "We now\n\nsion is that we cannot accept the resolution on its merits. In conclusion, it has been said that there will be no advantage if this resolution is carried out, and that no lasting peace will be assured. I cannot conceive a condition of peace within this Colony if any Germans are admitted within its domains within the next two years. Personally I should be the first to break the peace.\n\nReference Hon. Mr. HOLYOAK-Sir, before replying to the arguments I would like to ask the Hon. Mr. Lau Chu Pak if he has consulted the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in this matter.\n\nHon. Mr. Lau Chu Pak-There has not been opportunity of consulting the Chinese Chamber of Commerce on the matter. I have consulted many of my friends outside and have expressed their opinions.\n\nHon. Mr. HOLYDAR-In dealing briefly with the debate which has just taken place, I would like in the first place to resent in the strongest possible manner the studied insult to the Committee of the Chamber of Commerce. I know exactly where we are. There is no longer any really big man in Hongkong. That covers a variety of firms whose interests cover millions and millions of dollars. And I am astounded that the Governor of the Colony should give utterance to such words.\n\nThat being so, I do not think that the whole question has been summed up in a very terse and very statesmanlike manner by my gallant and hon. friend who sits on my right (the General Officer Commanding).\n\nHon. Mr. HOLYOAK wished to say that he thought the difference between the two words. It has been said that there will be no advantage if this resolution is carried out.\n\nHon. Mr. HOLYDAR-And others could, by any stretch of the imagination, construe into an insult to the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce or its Committee.\n\nI have avoided anything in moving the resolution which could be called exaggeration. One could speak with greater stress, and far greater freedom if one could leave oneself free to imagination, and draw a picture of the conditions which the aftermath of this war will inevitably produce.\n\nBut the whole burden of my resolution has been lost sight of in every argument advanced against it.\n\nI ask this Council to endorse a resolution pledging this Colony to legislation that for ten years after the war Germans shall be excluded from coming within our shores. What I ask for and plead for is that we shall pass this resolution and send it home to the Home Government as an expression of the Colony's opinion; an expression of opinion coming from the commercial men of this Colony.\n\nThe remarks which have fallen from the Governor are a deliberate, I say so advisedly, flouting of the studied opinion of commercial men of the Colony, who have carefully considered the question and come to a decision.\n\nAnd I cannot believe that any man gathered around this table can face calmly the possibility of sitting, within two years from now, next to a German in any public building or in connection with any joint interests in this Colony.\n\nIt has been said that what is advocated is a policy of retaliation. I call it just retribution, and there is a wide and vast difference between the two words.\n\nI would point out that this resolution has been on paper for a fortnight, which gave ample time for my hon. Chinese colleague to consult with the Chinese Chamber of Commerce if he had desired to do so. Apparently he did not.\n\nI have also consulted many Chinese in connection with this matter, and many Chinese merchants have told me frankly that they did not desire the German trade to return to the Colony; they very much deprecated such trade and the system which had been adopted in the past.\n\nI was astounded to hear the words fall from the lips of the Attorney-General that there were some virtues in the credit system practised by the Germans.\n\nThere is a virtue in the credit system, provided it is under control, but, speaking from experience, and from a deep knowledge of the subject, I say, that the credit system practised by the Germans, which was not controlled, was positively immoral.\n\nThe British banks who helped them to use that credit system are to blame. I know perfectly well that there is a section of the Chinese community which lived and had its being, so to speak, from the credit system which the Germans adopted in this Colony, and who have excluded for that reason the wider question embodied in my resolution.\n\nThey remember that it was their living in the past. But there are wider questions than that for the Colony to deal with, and therefore contained in my resolution.\n\nThat resolution has been carefully considered by the Chamber of Commerce, and we are of the opinion that what it involves is in the best interests of the Colony, so I leave it with you.\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY-I have one more remark to make, and that is that I do not think any unprejudiced person would consider that the words I used in reference to the deceased William Keswick and the deceased Sir Thomas Jackson could, by any stretch of the imagination, be construed into an insult to the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce or its Committee.\n\nHon. Mr. HOLYOAK asked for a division, and this resulted as follows:-\n\nAgainst the resolution:-Hon. Mr. Lau Chu Pak, Hon. Mr. Wei Yuk and all the official members.\n\nFor the resolution: Hon. Mr. Holyoak, Hon. Mr. Pollock, Hon. Mr. Anton and Hon. Mr. Shellim.\n\nThe resolution was then put to the meeting, and the Governor declared that the \"Noes\" had it.\n\nThe resolution was then declared lost by nine votes to four.\n\nThis was all the business. Council was adjourned sine die.\n\nPage 13\n\n488", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-445 - Public Offices - 1917.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 469620, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-445 - Public Offices - 1917", "page_number": 494, "title": "CO129-445 - Public Offices - 1917", "content_text": "# CHAMBER OF COMMERCE RE-AFFIRM COMMITTEE'S DECISION\n\nThere was a large and thoroughly representative meeting of the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce at the Chamber of Commerce Room on April 24th, when certain resolutions were passed which directly concerned the question of the return of Germans to the Colony after the war, and also the remarks made by H.E. the Governor at the last meeting of the Legislative Council when replying to the motion proposed by the Hon.

Mr. HOLYOAK, who was loudly applauded as he entered the room, and also when he rose to speak, said:— As it is past the hour for which this meeting was called I will proceed to address the meeting upon the subject for which you have been called together this afternoon. Briefly it is this. That a resolution which was unanimously adopted by your elected committee was rejected in the Legislative Council, and we have now brought it before the meeting to endorse or not as seems fitting to you.\n\nThe resolution which I have to propose, and which in substance is identically the same as that proposed in the Legislative Council in your name, is as follows:-\"It is the opinion of the Chamber that it is in the best interest of the Colony of Hongkong that persons of German nationality should be excluded therefrom for a period of at least ten years following the declaration of peace; and, that, subsequently, they be only admitted into the Colony under strict licence.\"\n\nNow, gentlemen, we contend that, speaking on behalf of the Chamber, there was not the slightest need on the part of the Government to debate this resolution. (Applause.) It was largely academic, it did not seek legislation, it merely asked that the considered, and carefully considered, opinion of your elected Committee should be put before the authorities at Home, who are shortly to meet to consider this very question.\n\nWe claim that we have a right to a voice, inasmuch as while the greater Colonies will be represented directly by their own representatives, we as a Crown Colony will be represented by the Secretary of State for the Colonies, and therefore a direct pronouncement from this Chamber in no uncertain manner should be sent Home, quite apart from Government despatches and recommendations which might not be known to us.\n\nNow, gentlemen, we further contend that this resolution was never seriously discussed by the Government in Council, and that His Excellency's speech, if it was not flippant in argument, was at any rate unfortunate, to say the least of it, in its choice of language.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-445 - Public Offices - 1917.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 469621, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-445 - Public Offices - 1917", "page_number": 495, "title": "CO129-445 - Public Offices - 1917", "content_text": "- 16 -\n\nitself to kept revolving. Therefore, it did not matter what the times were, whether they sold at a loss or sold at a profit, it was essential to them, in order to carry on their trade not only to go on selling but, what was more material to them to go on buying. That is a point I wish to enforce and ask you to dwell upon. I also wish to emphasise the point that the entry of England into this war in the very first place was entirely and absolutely due to sentiment, namely, that we should fulfil our treaty obligations to the nation of Belgium. (Applause) British merchants of this Colony were opposed in their trade by goods made by Lancashire firms, which were sold at a loss by Germans, and sold merely to keep the credit revolving in order to meet due bills, in connection with obligations in force with trust deeds and bills, they misapplied funds which should have been used for paying off, without indefinite delay, due bills. I say again, that that sort of business was immoral from first to last. (Applause.) I ask you, gentlemen, whether you are prepared to admit back into your midst men who are prepared to reconstitute this kind of business when, after much pains and tremendous struggling, the trade of the Colony has once more been put upon a sound cash basis. (Voice: No.) And as I said in the Council, the condition of this Colony to-day is healthier and sounder than it has been for many years past.\n\nAllow them to come back and seek to do trade, which from the very nature of things they must offer on terms inimical to the interests of Hongkong. That is the basis of our economic argument. (Applause.) I have no hesitation in saying that at least 60 per cent. of the German trade in this Colony was done in British cargo. Now, gentlemen, let us pause for a moment to consider what that means. To all of us who are intimately acquainted with the textile trade, and largely from my own practical and personal experience, it has been well known that there have been many occasions in the past ten years where Lancashire travellers in this Colony have reported large sales to German firms when British merchants, who had precisely the same cargo and lying in their godowns, were prepared to accept spot cash prices for it, were unable to sell. And yet large sales took place. Why? Because the whole basis of the textile trade, and of other trades in connection with German business here, was built up upon a credit basis, for which the credit had to be British firms will have to consider its development upon credit lines, with the assistance of the banks, in order that the trade of the Hinterland should be more widely pushed than it has been in the past. It is true that in the past we have left much of that trade to our German competitors. We have realised now that large trade was done, and possibly a paying trade was done, and that it must be developed possibly on similar lines, but we shall endeavour to make them sounder.\n\nIt was further hinted that if you did not allow the Germans to return to Hongkong it might lead to the development of Swatow, Amoy and other outports with railway communication between those places and Canton, and possibly the development of other parts. Gentlemen, in the first place, I doubt very much whether for some years to come they will be financially in a position to finance any big railway scheme or any big commercial development scheme.\n\n-17-\n\nThe Hon. Mr. C. E. ANTON—Those of you who read my speech at the Legislative Council may probably have recognised that I based my argument chiefly on sentimental grounds, not from the commercial point of view, though I have my views on that. After all is said and done, we cannot guide our policy by a mere matter of pounds, shillings and pence. (Applause) I am aware that there are arguments, strong arguments, on both sides of the question, and though, personally, I think we should combine to do so, it serves them right, and ourselves against German opposition of any kind, yet at the same time I should like to hear further views expressed, as I am not a long resident here. That is all I have to say in seconding the resolution.\n\nMr. E. V. D. PARR—Without trespassing upon the valuable time of the meeting I would like to record my cordial support of the remarks of our worthy Chairman as regards this resolution, and to add that it might be considered a matter of common and ordinary precaution. Gentlemen, we desire these sentiments to be sent home to the Home Government. The Prime Minister, very wisely, since the beginning of the war, has acted in consultation with the best technical and business brains of the country (applause) and we are encouraged to think that his Government will welcome the expression of opinion of businessmen of Hongkong, men, gentlemen, who by their position show themselves as worthy successors to their great predecessors (Loud applause.) I think we have a right to ask that our views should be transmitted Home. (Applause.)\n\nIn conclusion, and in putting this resolution to you, I would say that the question of a time limit of ten years, so far as your Committee is concerned, is merely an academic term for the sake of argument. When the resolution was proposed it was not proposed with the idea of carrying into effect any definite action within this Colony. It was not understood that it should be so; it was merely desired that an expression from the Colony should go to the Home Government for their consideration in connection with Imperial Legislation, and it was equally realised that whatever the Imperial Authorities at Home might decide, this Colony would have to fall in with them, and would do so gladly. (Applause.) But we did contend, and we do contend, that we have a perfect right to express independently our views to the Imperial Authorities at Home on that very point. (Applause.) Further, I am prepared to say in regard to the period of ten years that if the meeting wish it we are prepared to modify the resolution in that respect so that it meets with general acceptance.\n\nWe are most anxious that the views should go forward from this meeting with positively and absolutely united action, if we can possibly see eye to eye together in that connection. Gentlemen, I leave the resolution in your hands (Applause).\n\nThe Hon. Sir PAUL CHATER then said: - Gentlemen, while I yield to none in my detestation and horror of the Germans and the unspeakable atrocities committed by that nation since the commencement of the War, at the same time I cannot find myself in accord with the suggestion \"that it is in the best interests of the Colony of Hongkong that persons of German nationality should be excluded therefrom for a period of at least 10 years following the declaration of peace, and that subsequently they be admitted into the Colony under strict licence,\" save and except under conditions which are, I am convinced, beyond the bound of practical politics, namely, that the same stand be adopted and maintained by all the Allies in the Far East.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-445 - Public Offices - 1917.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 469625, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-445 - Public Offices - 1917", "page_number": 499, "title": "CO129-445 - Public Offices - 1917", "content_text": "24-\n\nthis doctrine being the doctrine of the result of this war, Germany is brought to her knees and the Prussian spirit is crushed for ever, I pledge my word to you that it will be remembered by the German people for all time that it was the powerful to overwhelm and trample upon the powerless.\n\nThen came the great England who stopped them getting into Paris. Yet you are asked to admit these people within the bounds of the Colony, remembering that the hate is there and that it will not be forgotten by them, then we shall have them ready-made. any more than by us, for many years to come. (Applause.) I shall probably be told in the papers to-morrow that this is a policy of retaliation, and that it cannot be defended upon any Christian ground whatsoever. I have no hesitation in saying that it is not a policy of retaliation but just retribution. (Loud applause.)\n\nSo much, gentlemen, for the question of sentiment, which cannot be excluded from this argument, say what you will.\n\nGerman policy of \"wait and see\" which wrecked the Asquith War Cabinet I contend brought us within deadly peril of defeat, and blindly to shut our eyes to the future and say we cannot now decide.\n\nFor this generation, the word Kultur, like Pompey's statue, drips with blood.\" (Applause.)\n\nis to admit practically the same fault which has been charged against Great Britain over and over again by her very foes. (Applause.) And I say it is here and now, before the war comes to a definite issue this Colony, jointly with other Colonies which have already raised their voices, should declare in uncertain manner that, if it be in the Empire's interests, we will not have the Germans back. (Applause.) I have said clearly that we do not seek to dictate to the Imperial authorities. All this meeting seeks to do, and all that I have striven to do up to now, gentlemen, is that the spirit has been breathed into the very soul of the people, it has been explained there, that it is part and parcel of their national attitude of mind, and I say that for many years to come it will not be eradicated.\n\nIt was shown most clearly when the Lusitania was sunk. A public school holiday was given at Germany, at which the Hymn of Hate, among other things, was sung. This is one of the verses of the Hymn of Hate:\n\nWe will never forgo our hate;\n\nHate by water, and hate by land,\n\nHate of the head and hate of the hand.\n\nHate of the hammer and hate of the crown\n\nHate of seventy millions choking down;\n\nWe love as one, we hate as one,\n\nWe have one foe, and one alone.\n\nENGLAND\"\n\nGentlemen, whatever may happen as the result of this war-and we believe we are about to enter the beginning of the final stage of the struggle, I do not say victory is in sight, but the beginning of the end is approaching if, as I hope, this Colony will be represented at the debate which must inevitably take place next to the post-war policy of the Allies. (Applause.) It would be presumption and Folly for this Colony alone to exclude Germans. If it were decided that, for the benefit of the Empire as a whole, they should be allowed to re-enter the Colonies and our great possessions, Hongkong would not be backward in admitting them if told to do so in the interests of Empire, though we would certainly not welcome them. (Applause.)\n\nNow, gentlemen, I come to the question which, after all, is the most important of all. I have been charged in anonymous letters with not dealing fully with the question of the practicability, or impracticability, of this suggestion.\n\nMr. I contend, with the Hon. Anton, that it is not merely a question of pounds, shillings and pence, and we owe it to those who are fighting that we should be prepared to make sacrifices, if necessary, both in recognition of what they have done for us, and because, ultimately, we believe, it will be for the national welfare. (Applause.) But I contend, also, that it would be directly to the benefit of the Colony that we should exclude Germans from re-entry into our port for a period of years. (Applause.) Gentlemen, at the outbreak of war the liquidations proved that there was no less than 10,000,000 dollars worth of goods, to say the very least, revolving in credit, which had passed out of the control on the merchant.\n\n- 23-\n\nI can only tell you from my personal knowledge of the liquidations, although personally I had no hand in them-there-fore, perhaps, I saw more of the game some of those who had-that it was not uncommon thing for the Germans who had cargo in their godowns for which belonged to other people, to carry on the same game, using that cargo, which was held in trust, for the payment of other liabilities which were overdue.\n\nThat, gentlemen, on very broad lines, was the system of credit trade which the British merchants had to meet and which made it so difficult for them, in time of depression, to trade, simply because, with the Chinese, the Chinese dealer liked a gamble, and if he could buy cheaper he naturally took the chance and gambled, as he will do.\n\nThe result of the liquidations has convinced the merchants of Hongkong that all this trading, which they have for so long deprecated, was unsound and immoral, and for two and a half years we have been struggling to produce a state of order out of chaos. That has very nearly been evolved. the merchants of Hongkong have said that credit trade is a thing of the past, and I say to-day, with absolute confidence, that the trade of this port is in a sounder condition than it has been for many years. (Applause.)\n\nAgain I ask: Will you allow the German to come back and re-introduce that form of credit, even though he be hampered, as he will be hampered, by shortness of credit facilities from the banks? (\"No, no.\")\n\nWith regard to the one important question raised in one anonymous letter, as to whether this Colony should go ...\n\n50\n\nS\n\nNow, gentlemen,\n\n...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-445 - Public Offices - 1917.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 474972, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-445 - Public Offices - 1917", "page_number": 666, "title": "CO129-445 - Public Offices - 1917", "content_text": "1\n\nto the Sorts of Ikony, Ayton & the\n\nnd, if\n\n5.

The sentiments expressed by Mr. P. H. Holyoak, supported by Mr. Anton and Mr. Pollock, are those of the overwhelming majority of the British people that the mercantile community does not desire, and will not be, if it can be avoided, associated in Hongkong, either socially or commercially, with men and women who have failed to realize what honour, justice, and mercy mean, and who acknowledge neither international obligations nor treaties unless they stand to gain by so doing.\" In the end, the motion was thrown out, the official members, as usual, voting en masse to swamp the unofficial, and the Governor, concluding the debate, thought that every official was thoroughly convinced that the resolution was not in the best interests of the Colony.\n\n...\n\nTelegraphic summaries and sentences taken out of their context may, of course, be misleading. But it will need a very explicit context, and an immense amount of palliation in the rest of what the Governor may have said, to explain the words we have italicized. It is an amazing and shameful statement. The slow course of liquidation of German firms in Hongkong has proved up to the hilt that, for years past, German merchants had been using every meanness in their power to undersell and ruin the British in the Colony, where they, the Germans, were received with equal freedom and friendship. This is the experience, not of one small colony, but of the whole world. It is the mainspring of the Russian revolution and of the present fury of the South American Republics. There may be, there probably are, decent Germans, taken individually. But where the ambition of Germany is concerned, no German can be trusted. Treachery is his practice, and deceit, so long as successful, his pride. And these are the people whose exclusion from Hongkong Sir Henry May thinks would not be in the best interests of the Colony. Put it the other way about. Does Sir Henry May then think that the presence of Germans is to the best interests of Hongkong? That their places should be kept warm for them until after the war? And that directly the sword is sheathed, they should be readmitted in full freedom to smile and lie and insinuate themselves into prosperity, to the detriment of Great Britain and her subjects? Whom can Sir Henry May blame if this construction, \"with all that it may imply,\" is put upon his words?\n\nMr. Holyoak is reported to have entered a strong objection against \"what he characterized as a studied insult to the Committee of the Chamber of Commerce.\" Nine months ago, we noted with regret the refusal of the Colonial Secretary at Home to grant the petition of British residents in Hongkong for greater representation on the Executive and Legislative Councils. Shanghai, we would venture to say, is not so bad an example of what merchants in the Far East can do in the sphere of government, when left to themselves, that Hongkong should be thus treated. How far the Governor of Hongkong may have influenced the decision at headquarters against the British residents, we do not know. But it would be idle to pretend that under his regime, the sympathy has been shown by the government of Hongkong towards the business community which ought to have been shown; or that the Governor's demeanour, whatever his intentions, has suggested anything but a steady determination to keep the merchants in their places.\n\nBut here we have a wider issue. For reasons best known to himself, Sir Henry May has declared himself in opposition to the common opinion of the world, and while the London Chamber of Commerce, not perhaps so inferior in intelligence to the Governor of Hongkong, is urging that, for five years after the declaration of peace, enemy steamers shall not be allowed to use the stations of the British Empire, the Governor of a small but not unimportant part of that Empire would appear to consider that the German is not such a bad fellow after all, and that he is, for the interests of the Colony, a desirable...\n\nPage 202\n\n \n(End of the Article)\n\n(To be Continued on Next Page...

He had no hesitation in saying that the liquidations of the German firms had abundantly proved that we should be better without Germans in trade. \"Further, I cannot help feeling that we have delayed too long in giving China a lead. A bold declaration of our views may strengthen her own, inspire her to join the Allies wholeheartedly in declaring war on the enemies of progress and induce her to intern or banish those within her boundaries.\"\n\nMr. C. E. Anton and Mr. H. E. Pollock made speeches in support of the motion.\n\nMr. Lau Chu-pak, Mr. Wei Yuk, and Mr. Ventris, Attorney-General, made speeches opposing the motion, and the Governor, concluding the debate, said that he thought every official was thoroughly convinced that the resolution was not in the best interests of the Colony. Mr. P. H. Holyoak, in reply, said that he objected in the strongest possible manner to what he characterized as a studied insult to the Committee of the Chamber of Commerce.\n\nThe resolution was defeated by 9 votes to 4.--Reuter,\n\n203", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-446 - Others & Individuals - 1917.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 476538, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-448 - Governor Sir May - 1918 [4-6]", "page_number": 353, "title": "CO129-448 - Governor Sir May - 1918 [4-6]", "content_text": "# Enclosure 2\n34042\n351\n\nHongkong, 10th December, 1917.\n\n**CONFIDENTIAL**\n\nMr. Paolo I.

I have the honour to inform Your Excellency that a meeting of the reconstituted Vital Requirements Committee was held on the morning of the 5th December, for the purpose of considering their present position and their future policy in the matter of the requisitioning of ships.\n\nThe question of procedure has been to a large extent settled in the Committee's and the Commodore's letters of the 29th November and the 1st December respectively. The Committee suggest that the procedure should be definitely as follows: The Commodore will refer requests for requisitioning to the Sub-Committee, who will consider the matter in conjunction with Mr. Cary, corresponding direct with the Commodore. The Sub-Committee will report their recommendations to Mr. Eakins, Mr. Anton, and Mr. Dodwell, who will form a quorum of the Committee for the purpose. This quorum will use their discretion as regards consulting the other members of the Committee, and their considered opinion will be reported to the Commodore through the Colonial Secretary. The Colonial Secretary or the Assistant Colonial Secretary will act as Chairman of the Committee, in which capacity he will keep the Government informed of what transpires. The Commodore will supply the Governor with copies of his requests for requisitioning.\n\n3. The Commodore and Lieutenant Commander have asked the Committee to state the number of vessels now remaining on the China Coast which in their opinion can be spared for Imperial purposes, and they have suggested that...\n\nMr. Claud Severn, C.M.G.,\nOfficer Administering the Government.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-448 - Governor Sir May - 1918 [4-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 476585, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-448 - Governor Sir May - 1918 [4-6]", "page_number": 400, "title": "CO129-448 - Governor Sir May - 1918 [4-6]", "content_text": "## 397\n\nsunsvA Anglao Imurid TON 3 .(8) HOUKCJ .BIRI MAI F1 AMITE J* a' (5)' H2C art to retisi tuCS tpaixonian of katuor?' as I zia bu hay .

I fear that very strong feeling will be aroused in the Colonies if, shortly after peace, they found numbers of Germans being dumped upon them by HMG. It being Hong Kong, the British Commercial community would certainly be furious.\n\nI would therefore suggest that unless we are considering any involuntary migration, as does not seem likely, to return these prisoners to the Colonies for which they were domiciled, the white 667 should in due course be repatriated to Germany.\n\nI will ask Sir Ayton & Wingate what is proposed & will invite their views on it (except in the case of China). Will you also write to Labuan, North Borneo & ask if they will observe that Hong Kong public opinion is strongly opposed to any German being allowed to enter the Colony at present?\n\nThey have put a rather ingenious spile into any plan for winning them over by saying that anyway there is no accommodation of any kind available for them. Knowing our gaols are overcrowded, at present, I consider this argument as effectively useless.\n\nIt will be certain that a policy of expelling or excluding enemy subjects qua enemy subjects either from H.K. or from other parts of the Empire after the war is out of the question: this will be left to the Colonies.

It is not therefore competent to this Committee at this stage to specify for release any particular vessels trading under the Liner Requisition Scheme. In any case while that authority is being secured consideration should we think be given to selection of some of the loose or tramping tonnage not already under any form of control as suggested in our letter of 18th August, and confirmed in the last paragraph of our advice of 13th October: meantime the Liner Owners might be warned of possible calls upon them.\n\nWe suggest that the Commodore proceed with the selection of vessels through his usual routine if the foregoing suggestions are adopted.\n\nWe have, etc.\n\n(Sd.)

In order to ascertain the reasons which have led\n\nthe National Council to reject the method of self-disinfection immediately after exposure to infection we have examined a mass of pamphlets left in the hands of the Government by the writers of the report, and from among these we have selected the following:-\n\n(a) Fifth Annual Report of the National Council for\n\nCombating Venereal Diseases, June, 1919, to June,\n\n1920.\n\n(b) Parliamentary White paper (Cmd 322). ▲ note by the Chairman of the Inter-Departmental Committee on infectious diseases in connection with demobilisation on Prophylaxis against Venereal Disease,\n\n(c)\n\nPaper on Prophylaxis for the Civil Population issued by the National Council.\n\nIn (a) pages 30 to 33 the question is discussed and it is recorded that in the course of a debate in the House of Lords on the 10th December, 1919, Lord Sandhurst speaking for the Government stated that he would be prepared to sanction the issue by the Ministry of Health of advice in some such form as the following:-\n\n\"Those who have exposed themselves to infection are hereby advised that they have incurred grave risk of venereal disease. Persons who have incurred such risk of infection will certainly diminish that risk, to some extent at least, by effectively cleansing themselves immediately. They are further advised to watch carefully for several weeks for the first signs of disease, and to seek medical advice at a clinic or elsewhere\n\nimmediately", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-474 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1922 [1-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 491996, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-474 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1922 [1-4]", "page_number": 534, "title": "CO129-474 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1922 [1-4]", "content_text": "1.229\n\nParo\n\nJ\n\nni gold, subteneo etni solad of 50 tit\n\nm fol.\n\n9\n\n* abs tramprolė Imateg edê em orgull\n\n1.\n\n.\n\nKe Jan\n\n.\n\nun cantal på:\n\nLiemo ɔdał odat o J.\n\ne eetud qal,di la Iausęs It\n\nto ridos18- xlstqað bað af „quod.\n\n-\n\ndi da nas 50\n\nezem kold....SI DO:\n\nmolito sa ib\n\nnie ta geozek Intat si\n\ngrow basi\n\nCatedr\n\nellense trec RO Ž •\n\nCOLOR 1 Jl. dał stan tiptr\n\n! ! quiwi Ba hadiata çidraars stað ogno al mared■\" ghunt nằm că send eð méxe 18 stedag\" di?w abam stew atmoRIS BILA TI að edreno tum hose et hiet star making IdamunY ad?,boxiøp i nez\n\n**\n\n.20 ft CEO tał st.\n\n*-* quispel aldt of targ feet of eved at batonąka od\n\n.! i\n\n1\n\nse molt agrotal to #qloons and w\n\nJana sẻ broyer gol\n\n#zow sasliməsə e - zem 201 at 003 1● xidmanes' Du drogen blow pop de 82a theinen, doum has sasitumoja, old = pilopat elde et madtray the pre od ning ma i bach\n\n●led blue kam #Idautemos a Jadi sơn lên menį daż [[a azon and\n\niltomie est du in doub ERİYER „Og st bojceqro 259 ↑\n\nsort add boxebin.\n\n·\n\nat han vidimouar uldt sti\n\nAnton puo mi.\n\n·\n\n+\n\n:\n\nIP\n\n+\n\n-\n\n¿Llastos daro tam\n\nand his 50 men, The men were put in motor 'buses with the object of\n\npending them ahead and in front of the assembly to hold it up.\n\nSergeant Greig was sent to Mr. Murray's house to give information\n\nas to the way the mob went and then Mr. King and Captain Bloxham\n\nproceeded in Mr. King's car. These were the precautions that Mr. King\n\ntook, and I go further and say he could not be expected to think that\n\nmere precautions than these were necessary to deal with this assembly.\n\nBefore we get to the actual facts there is another point of view\n\nto be considered. What was Mr. King's intention? What did he intend\n\nto do? It is of vital importance in considering whether the shooting\n\nwas reasonable or not. Were the intentions reasonable? We knew the\n\nintentions were frustrated through no fault of his own. The intention\n\nwas to round up the mob and take them back to Kowloon under an escort\n\nwith fixed bayonets. To carry out this intention Sergeant Mason\n\nwas placed in the rear and the soldiers in motor 'buses were sent\n\non ahead to hold up the mob. I suggest that these intentions were\n\nreasonable intentions and what one would expect Mr. King to do. I\n\nthink a reasonable man would go further and say that this ought to have\n\nbeen sufficient to deal with this trouble. Mr. King says, in his\n\nopinion, these plans would have sufficed, but most unfortunately the so\n\nintentions were frustrated by circumstances over which Mr. King had\n\nno control and which he could not reasonably foresee. He could not\n\nreasonably foresee that the buses could not take the soldiers up\n\nthe hill or that they would break down. I think the whole scheme\n\nwas a most excellent scheme and would have proved entirely\n\nsuccessful if not frustrated by the breaking down of the buses about\n\nhalf way up the hill.\n\nThe next heading we may proceed to is what warnings did\n\nthis assembly receive before the actual shooting took place; in other words did the assembly act as reasonable men or did they not. What do we know? We know a first warning was received at the Po Hing\n\ntheatre. A Chinese detective was there and saw a man go round these assemblies not to go, that they would not be\n\nmarches", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-474 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1922 [1-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 492237, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-475 - Governor Sir Stubbs & Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1922 [5-7]", "page_number": 167, "title": "CO129-475 - Governor Sir Stubbs & Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1922 [5-7]", "content_text": "Page 141\n\n27 July 1922.\n\nMINUTE.\n\nBefore you discuss with Sir G.

According to the law of the Bahamas the Attorney Generalship was a pensionable office but there was a general provision of the pension law, the effect of which debarred any public officer from drawing the pension he would otherwise have been entitled to unless he had served ten years under the Bahamas Government, notwithstanding the fact that he may, after transfer from the Bahamas, have served more than that period, or an indefinite period, in the service of the Crown elsewhere.\n\n3.\n\nMy position in this respect is entirely analogous to that of Sir Anton Bertram, Chief Justice of Ceylon, who succeeded me as Attorney General of the Bahamas where he served for a little over four years. By accepting promotion to Cyprus we both lost the rights which had accrued to us by our pensionable service in the office of Attorney General of the Bahamas.\n\n4.\n\nLast year this matter was brought to the notice of the Governor of Ceylon by Sir Anton Bertram in connection with an amendment of the Pension Minute in Ceylon which had been sanctioned by the Secretary of State.\n\nHis Excellency Sir Edward Stubbs, K.C.M.G., Governor, &c., &c.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-481 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1923 [8-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 495470, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-481 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1923 [8-12]", "page_number": 139, "title": "CO129-481 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1923 [8-12]", "content_text": "I crave leave to refer Your Excellency to Sir Anton Bertram's letter, a copy of which I attach.

The power conferred under Clause 17(2) of the Pension Minute has, I apprehend, no relation to a Judge of the Supreme Court whose pension is assessed under Clause 2.\n\nI would, however, request that His Excellency the High Commissioner of Cyprus may be invited, in the exercise of his discretion, to add, in computing the period of my service as King's Advocate in Cyprus, such addition in respect of my previous service in the Bahamas as may be most advantageous under Regulation 28 of the Second Schedule to the Pensions Law 1905.\n\nI have, …\n\nW.

It is true that the words for Colonies or Protectorates are added, and that the intention of this addition was no doubt to include Colonies or Protectorates in which the officer had previously served, but, as the text of the paragraph stands, these words, grammatically construed, do not have the intended effect. They are still governed by the word 'such', and the distinguishing effect of the word 'such' is to include only Colonies and Protectorates from which the officer was transferred to Ceylon. What is needed as I read the paragraph, is that in line 5, the word 'and' should be substituted for the word 'such'.\n\n8.\n\nThere is another point, which, as it seems to me requires consideration, and that is the effect of service under the Government of Cyprus. Cyprus, at the time of my service there was neither a Colony nor a Protectorate, but a territory administered by the Crown in pursuance of a convention with the Turkish Government. Its officers were considered as being in the service of the Cyprus Government. What its present status may be I do not know but I question whether it is that of either a Colony or Protectorate. A similar question might arise in the case of an officer transferred from Palestine or any other territory administered by the Crown under a Mandate from the League of Nations. It is possible that this question has been already considered, as part of Mr. Bernard Senior's service was in the Island of Cyprus, and it may have been determined that this service should be considered as service under the Imperial Government. Your Excellency may perhaps see fit to consider whether words should not be added to the paragraph declaring that service under the Imperial Government shall be deemed to include service in the Island of Cyprus or in any territory administered by the Crown in pursuance of a mandate from the League of Nations, or whether as an alternative the word should not be authoritatively so interpreted.\n\nI have, &c., (Sd.)

Dodwell & Co., on behalf of the Kailan Mining Administration, to manage the vessel for the present, on the understanding that the Administration will use her to bring coal to the Colony for Government purposes or for purposes approved by the Government, at rates based upon the rates charged for the ship, the accounts to be subject to audit. In other words, the vessel will be run by the Administration upon lines similar to those upon which liner requisition vessels are run.” \n\nThe S.S. Wollmera was requisitioned by the Naval Authorities on the 30th November, 1917, under the terms contained in Admiralty Charter Party \"T 99\", and she was handed over to the Hongkong Government to control. \n\n8. The Vital Requirements Committee had in the meantime been considering in the most minute detail the question of sparing more ships for full requisition and the employment of less suitable vessels to take their place in the trade on the China Coast, and their advice was being constantly asked as to the allocation between numerous applicants of the very limited cargo space which was allotted to the Colony on the Home and Indian runs. \n\nOn the 10th December, Mr. A. G. M. Fletcher, who had become Chairman of the Committee, addressed the following letter to the Government regarding the shipping situation as it then stood :— \n\n\"I have the honour to inform Your Excellency that a meeting of the reconstituted Vital Requirements Committee was held on the morning of the 5th December, for the purpose of considering their present position and their future policy in the matter of the requisitioning of ships. \n\nThe question of procedure has been to a large extent settled in the Committee's and the Commodore's letters of the 29th November and the 1st December respectively. The Committee suggest that the procedure should be definitely as follows: The Commodore will refer requests for requisitioning to the Sub-Committee, who will consider the matter in conjunction with Mr. Cary: corresponding direct with the Commodore. The Sub-Committee will report their recommendations to Mr. Edkins, Mr. Anton, and Mr. Dodwell, who will form a quorum of the Committee for the purpose. This quorum will use their discretion as regards consulting the other members of the Committee, and their considered opinion will be reported to the Commodore through the Colonial Secretary. The Colonial Secretary or the Assistant Colonial Secretary will act as Chairman of the Committee, in which capacity he will keep the Government informed of what transpires. The Commodore will supply the Governor with copies of his requests for requisitioning. \n\nThe Commodore and Lieutenant Oldman have asked the Committee to state the number of vessels now remaining on the China Coast which in their opinion can be spared for Imperial purposes, and they have suggested that an approximately accurate figure can be arrived at through statistics obtained to show the cargoes which are vital to the life of the Colony; whereby under a process of elimination tonnage now carrying non-essentials and semi-essentials can be definitely set on one side as available for Imperial purposes. The Committee find themselves unable to supply this information, for the following reasons: -- \n\nIn the first place, the trade of the whole China Coast is in question. Hongkong's trade statistics extend over a period of a few months only, and, with trade conditions continually changing, with ships required for one purpose to-day being diverted for another to-morrow, the Committee regard those statistics as not sufficient for the purpose required. They regard the immensely voluminous figures compiled by the Chinese Customs as equally insufficient for the purposes of any decision on the vital requirements of Hongkong. \n\nIt is unnecessary to reiterate the point that Hongkong is merely a distributing centre and that her vital requirements do not consist solely in food for the population and material for the docks. The Governor's draft telegram of June last to the Secretary of State for the Colonies, which was concurred \n\n63 \n\n- \n\nin by the Committee, has put their views very clearly. They maintain their opinion, then expressed, that \"Hongkong, being only a great trading port and distributing centre for South China, subsists practically on shipping alone, upon which with its connected avocations the native population of Victoria and Kowloon, numbering about 400,000 persons, depend for their living. They urge strongly that no further ships should be requisitioned from Far Eastern waters without first reviewing the situation and indicating the services for which the vessels are required; and that it is essential to keep alive a nucleus of the British shipping services trading with Hongkong\". \n\nThe difficulty of estimating the number of ships that can yet be taken is enhanced by the uncertainty as to the movements of Allied and neutral tonnage. It is rumoured that Japan proposes to place restrictions upon the use of her tonnage. The Committee are informed that the S.S. Prometheus, under the Norwegian flag, on time charter on the coast, has been taken over by the Imperial Authorities. There are some twenty-five vessels running in similar circumstances in local trades, and, if these or any of them are similarly taken, any estimate regarding available British tonnage falls at once to the ground. \n\nThe Committee's position is, in short, that if British and Chinese interests are to be maintained, no British ship can be spared, although in extreme national urgency every British ship might have to be spared. The Committee are working under the following instructions: Decided to requisition all British steamers on Indian and Far Eastern Liner Services in order that they may be employed with utmost possible economy on most essential services Secretary of State's telegram of the 7th March: \"Unless and until you are otherwise directed, it is not the desire of the Government to interfere either with the nature of your business or the method of conducting it\" letter of 5th May, from the Ministry of Shipping: \"All British liners are being requisitioned, but that does not necessarily imply that they would all be diverted from their previous trade routes Secretary of State's telegram of the 10th August: \"The Home Office want every possible relief\" Secretary of State's telegram of the 12th May. \n\n13 \n\nThe last is the key to the whole situation. While in the opinion of the Committee all British vessels on the coast are probably required to keep together a nucleus of the British trades established through long years of patient effort, yet when and in so far as the Imperial need is the greater some ships can and must be spared. \n\nThe Committee wish in this connection to draw attention to the appointment of Colonel Thomson. They consider it essential that the representative of the Shipping Controller should be an experienced shipping man and that he should, as far as possible, remain on the China Coast, where alone he can study and understand the conditions peculiar to that coast. The Committee have been unofficially informed that Colonel Thomson has very considerable experience of shipping; but he has hitherto conducted operations from India. The result would seem to be somewhat unfortunate from the point of view of Hongkong, judging by the case of the Hongkong-Calcutta run. In 1914 the British India and the Indo-China Lines had each eight vessels on that run. At the present day the British India Line retain three vessels against the Indo-China Line's one, and the Controller has recently taken the Indo-China boat Chaksang, which has been specially built for the run; whereas in the opinion of the Committee one of the British India boats would be more suitable for Imperial purposes. The Committee ask that no further ships may, if possible, be taken until Colonel Thomson has had time to review the situation on the spot. The Committee suggest that in any event Lieutenant Oldman should remain adviser to the Admiralty and that Mr. Sutherland and Mr. Nuttall or his substitute should be appointed as Colonel Thomson's local representatives. \n\nThe Committee hope that their representations will not be read as indicating an obstructionist policy. They most emphatically realise that the Imperial needs are paramount, and that the Colony must do the utmost in its power, irrespective of private interests, to further the common end. \n\nPage 300\nPage 301", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-481 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1923 [8-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 495634, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-481 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1923 [8-12]", "page_number": 302, "title": "CO129-481 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1923 [8-12]", "content_text": "66\n\nDuring the whole period that this matter has been under consideration the Government, before taking each step, has sought the advice of the Vital Requirements Committee and Sub-Committee, consisting of Mr. Edkins, Mr. Anton and subsequently Mr. Landale, Mr. Shewan, Mr. Dodwell, Mr. Lau Chu-pak, Mr. Young, and Mr. Sutherland. Mr. Fletcher has represented the Government on this Committee.\n\n15. The Hongkong Control Scheme came into operation on the 15th April, 1918. A number of tramps, whose movements were being directed by the opportunities for profit-making arising from the requisitioning of competing ships, were now made directly available for war purposes, to release and take the place of more sea-worthy vessels. It was possible at last to use all British tonnage in the Far East in the most economical way to meet pressing needs.\n\n16. An account of some of the uses to which certain of the vessels were put may be of interest. The S.S. Wollowra had been carrying coal for the account of the Hongkong Government since December, 1917, and later the S.S. Telemachus, Rotorua, Ching Chow, and Patriot were used from time to time for a similar purpose. The first trip of the S.S. Patriot was for the account of the Naval Yard. The Government was thereby enabled to supply coal and coke to the Naval authorities whose requirements were considerable, and also to the Military Authorities and to various industries such as the Hongkong and Whampoa Dock Company, Hongkong Steel Foundry, Hong-kong, Canton, and Macao Steamboat Company, and the Hongkong Electric Company. It also supplied at a cheap rate 1,200 tons monthly to the Chinese Section of the Kowloon-Canton Railway, without which that Section would have been unable to continue its service.\n\nWhen, in the spring of 1918, arrangements were unexpectedly made by the Imperial Government to divert Dutch tonnage, and the trade in raw sugar between Java and Hongkong was in consequence completely dislocated, the S.S. Wollowra was despatched to Java and brought up a full cargo of sugar. The Government was also able to arrange for the Russian S.S. Vitim, not under its control, to bring sugar.\n\nThe Government of the Straits Settlements had in the meantime represented to the Hongkong Government the need for an increased output of tin for war purposes and had requested assistance in carrying Chinese labour to that Colony. It was possible to make arrangements to send coolies from Hongkong, but Singapore had quarantined the Colony on account of cerebro-spinal meningitis, and was unable to entertain a representation that the disease was understood to be quite as prevalent in Amoy and Swatow as it was in Hongkong. Consequently the S.S. Wollowra was placed on the Amoy, Singapore, Rangoon run, for the particular purpose of carrying coolies to Singapore, and also to carry on the normal trade with Rangoon.\n\nThe S.S. Haimun was taken up to carry coal for Admiralty account, but, as she was found to be unsuitable, she was despatched in June, 1918, to Amoy to carry coolies to Singapore. She remained on this run, and in August she was put on the trip Singapore, Hongkong, Amoy, Singapore, the reason being that the Green Island Cement Company required tonnage to carry cement for Government works at Penang, while the Government of the Straits Settlements required coolies, but would not allow them to come from Hongkong. Consequently the S.S. Haimun carried the cement from Amoy; the ship was diverted for a trip to Java to fetch sugar.\n\nThe S.S. Telemachus was taken off a charter bringing in Straits $115,000 a month in order to carry coal for specified Hongkong industries. This coal came from the Kailan Mining Administration on whose behalf Colonel Thomson and the Admiralty had invoked the assistance of the Hongkong Government. The S.S. Patriot also carried the Kailan Administration coal. In November, 1918, she was detailed to bring rice from Saigon.\n\nIt was at the same time considered to be essential, in the interests of British trade and prestige, to keep as many as possible of the Hongkong controlled vessels on the regular coast runs, and in this connection the Government kept in view certain representations which had been made by His Majesty's Ministers at Peking and Bangkok, and also representations made by the Governor-General of Indo-China regarding the Saigon rice trade. The Douglas Company's ships, Haitan and Hai Hong, served the customary Coast ports throughout the requisition period, with the exception that the S.S. Hai Hong was lent to the Naval Authorities for one voyage to carry reinforcements from the Manchester Regiment to Vladivostock. The steamers Castlefield, Manapouri, and Brisbane continued on their original charters within the usual coast trade limits, and such other vessels as could from time to time be spared were made available for the miscellaneous requirements of the Coast which were normally served by a much larger number of ships. The S.S. Upolu continued to carry coal for the Kailan Mining Administration. Every run was most carefully watched; sub-chartering was not permitted, and charters, while binding the charterer for a fixed period, reserved to the Hongkong Government the right to terminate the contract at a month's notice.\n\n17. Although the Hongkong Control Scheme was proving of immense benefit to the Colony, the tonnage was not nearly sufficient to meet requirements, and every endeavour was made to supplement it. The S.S. Glenfalloch, of Singapore Registry, was lying at the Taikoo Dockyard awaiting repairs, which the owners were unwilling to carry out, and the Hongkong Government asked permission of the Straits Settlements Government to repair the vessel and run her under the Hongkong Scheme, but that Government was unable to accept the proposal. The Government of the Straits Settlements were further approached, but without success, for permission for the S.S. Hock Lee and Will o' the Wisp to be run under the Hongkong Scheme. These vessels had been purchased by Hongkong owners but had remained on the Singapore Register. Colonel Thomson arranged for the placing of the S.S. Kolya at the disposal of the Hongkong Government for the purpose of carrying coal for the Naval Yard, but at the last moment the vessel could not be made available. Negotiations were entered into regarding the S.S. Sui Kai under the Chinese flag, which had for a long time been lying idle in the harbour owing to a complicated law-suit. An offer was made to repair and run the ship for the account of whoever might be concerned, but the vessel was so fast entangled in the meshes of the law that it was impossible to extricate her. An attempt was made to arrange for the salving at the expense of the Hongkong Government of a steamer which had been stranded on the Siberian coast, but the project was found to be impracticable. In August, 1918, three small and old British vessels, the Amherst, Cornelia, and Huk Canton, of 211, 214, and 288 tons register respectively, were requisitioned by the Naval Authorities and were placed under the orders of the Shipping Control Committee.\n\n18. The relations between the Hongkong Government and the Shipowners were throughout of a most cordial nature. All owners co-operated in a most patriotic manner and did their utmost to make the Control Scheme work smoothly and successfully. A Shipowners Protection Association was formed under the Chairmanship of Mr. S. T. Williamson, of Messrs. Moller and Company, and his services, placed freely at the disposal of the Government, were of the greatest assistance. There was one request pressed by the Association to which the Government could not see its way to accede. The Association wished to be represented upon the Shipping Control Committee, and this was refused, for the reason that the Committee had been chosen, as an independent body having no connection with the requisitioned ships, to advise the Government on technical matters connected with the ships. Mr. Sutherland and Mr. Young sat as representatives of Colonel Thomson, Agent to the Shipping Controller, who was in constant communication with the Colony with regard to controlled ships. The Committee worked in close and constant touch with the Vital Requirements Committee, which advised as to the employment of the ships for the needs of the Colony, and Mr. H. P. White, representing the controlled vessels of the Douglas Steamship Company, took his seat upon the latter body.\n\n19. The question of the remuneration to be paid to owners was one of considerable difficulty. The Shipping Controller's instructions were that the remuneration was not to be appreciably higher or lower than that of competing vessels, the vessels most directly concerned being those of the Indo-China and China Navigation fleets. The Hongkong Government urged the Shipping Controller in London that in view of the increase in prices and the rise in exchange the remuneration should be payable at exchange half 19 and ball rate of day. This was refused, it being again pointed out that the payments to owners under the local scheme must not be more favourable than payments to owners under the Imperial scheme. Further representations were made in the following terms: – it must be remembered that the vessels brought under local requisition are mostly old and in more or less bad condition, having been discarded, at periods more or less remote, from the regular lines; with the result that the cost of repair and upkeep is proportionately heavier than in the case of vessels, such as those of the Indo-China and China Navigation Companies, on the regular lines. I was aware, when I sent my telegram of the 9th March, that expenses connected with repairing and running were on owners' risk, if the owners were prepared to run the vessels; and, in order to offer the owners a sufficient inducement to do so, I accepted the advice of the Control Committee to grant the terms stated in the telegram which I addressed to you on the 17th.\n\n67\n\n296\n\n1\n\ni\n\n1", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-481 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1923 [8-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 495841, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-481 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1923 [8-12]", "page_number": 507, "title": "CO129-481 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1923 [8-12]", "content_text": "MINUTES.\n\nwith this 7.0. about the form's wording's\n\nwith St. Lun Yat have by communicating despatch written\n\nChi 70, a\n\nhe four recon tutti ff.

Therefore, on the 15th December, I wrote him a letter, of which I attach a copy,* and sent it to Canton by the hand of Dr. To Ying-kwan, who is a personal friend of Mr. Wong Tsing-wai. Dr. To Ying-kwan was trained in Western medicine at Edinburgh, has for a long time past been practising his profession in Hong Kong. He is an avowed member of the Chinese Nationalist party, and knows personally all the members of the present Canton Soviet. He agreed to support my letter with his own arguments, and to bring me back an answer from Mr. Wong Tsing-wai. Dr. To's mission proved entirely successful, for on the 18th December Mr. Wong Tsing-wai wrote me a letter, of which I enclose a copy, and which was handed to me on the 19th December by Mr. Sung Tsz-man, the head of the Canton Treasury.\n\nMr. Sung Tsz-man spent the night of the 19th December with me at Government House and returned to Canton on the 20th December, accompanied by Mr. A. G. M. Fletcher. I had a very full discussion on the present situation with him at Government House on the afternoon of the 19th December, when there were also present: Messrs. A. G. M. Fletcher, J. H. Kemp, E. R. Hallifax, and D. W. Tratman. I attach a note prepared by Mr. Tratman of the conversation which then took place, from which you will see that the two points emphasised by Mr. Sung Tsz-man as necessary for a settlement of the strike were: (a) Compensation of the strikers for the period during which they had been out of work; and (b) reinstatement of strikers in their original jobs. As regards reinstatement, this is, of course, impossible in those cases where jobs in which strikers were previously employed have since been filled by other men. I pointed this out to Mr. Sung Tsz-man, and during the course of subsequent conversation he appeared to agree that this matter also was at bottom one of compensation, and that, therefore, from his point of view, there was really only one demand to be pressed, namely, that of money payment by employers to strikers. Payment such as this can, of course, only be considered as blackmail: nevertheless, I believe that most of the Chinese merchants in Hong Kong and several British merchants would be prepared to pay blackmail rather than to allow the existing state of things to continue. This is certainly the view of the two Chinese members of the Legislative Council.\n\nAll official opinion in Hong Kong is emphatically against making any such payment, and it would be out of the question that the Hong Kong Government should be concerned in negotiations for such a payment. Nevertheless, if it should appear that, in the last resort, a settlement can only be obtained by such payment, and if Hong Kong merchants—Chinese and European—prefer to pay the money rather than suffer their present loss of trade, I doubt whether the Hong Kong Government would be justified in obstructing a settlement on these lines. The matter has not yet, however, gone far enough for me to give final opinion, and I shall address you further on the subject after Mr. Fletcher's return from Canton. He is due back to-day.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nC. CLEMENTI,\n\nGovernor, &c.\n\nEnclosure in Annex XVI (i).\n\nRecord of an Interview between His Excellency the Governor and Mr. T. V. Sung (Sung Tsz-man), Finance Commissioner to the Canton National Government, at Government House, on Saturday, December 19, 1925.\n\nThere were also present:-\n\nThe Colonial Secretary (Mr. A. G. M. Fletcher, C.M.G., C.B.E.). The Attorney-General (Mr. J. H. Kemp, K.C.),\n\nThe Secretary for Chinese Affairs (Mr. E. R. Hallifax, C.M.G., C.B.E.). Mr. D. W. Tratman.\n\nAfter mutual expressions of an earnest desire for a settlement between Canton and Hong Kong, Mr. Sung asked his Excellency what proposals he had to make, to which the latter replied that inasmuch as the so-called strike had its origin entirely outside the colony, he was at a loss for any suggestions for its cessation. After some further fencing, Mr. Sung put forward his views. He maintained the attitude that the quarrel lay between Chinese labour (the strikers) and the Hong Kong Government (not Hong Kong as a community), and he made it clear that the Canton Government could not and would not use force to compel the strikers to abandon their policy of boycott and non-co-operation. On the same grounds he held to the view, already expressed by the Canton Government, that the Canton officials could only act as mediators in the proposed conference, while the Hong Kong officials should be plenipotentiary negotiators. Mr. Sung added the adjective \"responsible\" before \"mediators,\" but it was not clear that this made any material difference.\n\nAfter some argument Mr. Sung admitted that he personally could see no reason why both sets of officials should not be part and parcel of their respective delegations.\n\nAs to terms, it was made clear that the strikers are still working on their demands presented to the unofficial delegation. Mr. Sung mentioned: (a) inequality of treatment, freedom of meeting and speech; (b) flogging; (c) deportation; (d) closing of unions; (e) representation.\n\nAs to (a), it was stated that the Hong Kong Government had for some time past been considering the abolition of the obsolete Regulations of Chinese Ordinance of 1888. Such provisions of this ordinance as it might be necessary to retain would be made applicable to all without distinction of race. The Peak Reservation was also mentioned and the reasons therefor explained. It was pointed out that the Chinese community could have its own Hill Reservation if it so desired, and that the Chinese representatives on the Legislature had agreed to the existing rule.\n\nAs to (b) and (c), it was made clear that these referred to the Emergency Regulations, which would lapse as soon as normal conditions were restored. Mr. Sung was informed that it had not actually been found necessary to carry into effect the rule for the flogging of criminal intimidators. At the same time it was pointed out that flogging for certain crimes of violence is part of the law of England, and would remain part of the colonial law while that was so.\n\nAs to (d), it was shown that this demand was based on a complete misunderstanding of the facts. No unions had been closed, though some might have been evicted by landlords for default of payment of rent.\n\nAs to (e), the Colonial Secretary gave the history of the constitutional reform movement in the colony, and explained that it had been resisted by the Chinese representatives. His Excellency added that a demand for more representation could not with propriety come from any but the Chinese in the colony. If in due course such a request were prepared, he assured Mr. Sung that it would receive his most careful and sympathetic consideration.\n\nMr. Sung next dealt with the economic terms, namely, (f) strike pay, and (g) reinstatement. As to (f), his Excellency again pointed out that the strike had no foundation in the economic position of labour in the colony, and he was therefore unable to see how he could make any recommendation to employers regarding payment of wages for services not only not rendered, but withdrawn for no fault of the employers. As to (g), his Excellency expressed his firm belief that the removal of the boycott and all that that term implied would lead to such a revival of industry that there would be no difficulty in reabsorbing all the labour now withheld or the withholding itself from the colony. The Colonial Secretary pointed out the ...\n\n[14166]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-495 - Governor Sir Clementi - 1926 [11-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 507577, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-500-3 Canton situation- governor's despatches 29-7-1927 - 1-9-1927", "page_number": 43, "title": "CO129-500-3 Canton situation- governor's despatches 29-7-1927 - 1-9-1927", "content_text": "## Hong Kong as a refuge from a communist émeute in Canton.\n\n3.

Hill on Birth Control.\n\nSURNAMES.\n\nOur Own and Other Peoples.\n\nDOWNFALL OF EMPIRES. CURIOSITIES OF ORIGIN\n\nAt the annual conference of the Sanitary Inspectors' Association at Bridlington, Sir Leonard Hill, in his presidential address, said that the sanitary inspectors' Association at Bridlington, Sir Leonard Hill, in his presidential address, said that the birth rate was now the subject of intensive propaganda among the masses of the people, and the no-child or one-child home was becoming the rule.\n\nAlthough the unskilled continued as yet to breed more than the skilled, birth-control was practised in every class of society.\n\nIn consequence, between 1921-31 the population of Great Britain had increased hardly more than in the 10 years 1911-21, which included the War, when about a million young men were killed and several millions listed and were taken away from family life.\n\nThe infant mortality rate had fallen from 167 per 1,000 births at the end of last century to 60 in 1930, but the saving so effected compensated very little for the enormous drop in the birth rate.\n\nThe annual increase of births over deaths per 1,000 living was 12 at the end of last century, and in 1929 it was under three, so very shortly the population would be stationary; the proportion of older persons increasing as children became scarcer.\n\nThree children per family were required to make good the losses and keep up the population.\n\nOne-child families meant halving the population—\n\n(By Walter G. Bell, in the Daily Telegraph).\n\n\"John ate chyldren.\" So he did, did he? A husbandman was this John; one goes out to the Fen country around Huntingdon for \"Richard ate Forty\"—a ferocious monster when at table.\n\nReading old documents from days when villeinage flourished in England, one experiences shocks like these not infrequently.\n\nThen consciousness comes that all that is meant is \"at\" or \"off,\" and the ogre is really the quite inoffensive John at Chiltern.\n\nThe other is of Ford—to find him you at the ford.\n\nSpelling was apt to vary with each clerk who wrote, and much corruption crept in.\n\nBut can one account by geography alone for \"Thomas atte Hell,\" a Suffolk man? He was the man at the hill.\n\nBARONET WITH A WHIP.\n\nFined for Striking Two \"Noisy\" Young Men.\n\nROADSIDE GATHERING.\n\nSir Christopher Furness, Bart., of Netherbyres, Ayton, Berwickshire, was fined 10s. at Eyemouth on a charge of assaulting two young men by striking them with a whip.\n\nMr. A. Carnegie, prosecuting, said that on August 14, at night, a band of young men were congregated on the road between Eyemouth and Ayton.\n\nOne started to play a mouthorgan and the others started to dance, and no doubt they were a bit hilarious.\n\nSir Christopher approached them and struck George Todd Dougal, of Eyemouth, across the back with a whip.\n\nThe others, with the exception of George Collin, also of Eyemouth, ran away, and Sir Christopher struck Collin across the face with a whip.\n\nFor the defence it was submitted that Sir Christopher was ill and that the noise had so upset him that he had impulsively sought his own remedy.\n\nThe chairman said that this mitigated very much the seriousness of the offence, but there was no excuse for Sir Christopher taking the law into his own hands.\n\nSir Christopher is 31, and the third baronet.\n\nHis father, Sir Stephen Wilson Furness, succeeded Sir Christopher Furness, who was Chairman of Furness, Withy and Co., Ltd., and Liberal M.P. for Hartlepool 1910-14.\n\nAt this juncture, Mr. White-Smith asked for Richard\n\nOur forenames are mostly much older than our surnames.\n\nWhen the Domesday Book accounts for some 283,000 inhabitants in all of England that was surveyed—it sufficed to indicate John by his place of residence, or as John the son of Richard, or very frequently John the servant of his named master; often, too, as John Sessmith, distinguished by his trade.\n\nSince names of persons are of first importance, and their indication is no longer so simple as this, whom he succeeded in 1914, was\n\nLegal Attitude.\n\nOdd that while names are supremely important in the transaction of life, the law has paid little or no head.\n\nIt will offend a man's title to his own name when there has been fraudulent misuse, but in nothing else.\n\nMen and women may call themselves just what they please, change their names as often as they like; the law is not concerned.\n\nCustom ordains that on marriage a woman shall adopt her husband's surname, signing her patronymic at birth and on the marriage register, but there is no legal enforcement of it.\n\nThe first witness called yesterday was Dr. J. Smalley, who testified that certain Japanese were admitted to the Kowloon Hospital on the night of September 26.\n\nThe first to be admitted entered the hospital at about 11 p.m. and the last one at about 12.45 a.m.\n\nIn all cases, the Police brought in the arrested.\n\nThe eighth was arrested in a hut in Po Kong Village at about midnight.\n\nHe had a wound on his head, which he said he had received from the military.\n\nWitness examined Shiro Yamashita, the boy of four, whose skull was fractured.\n\nThere were multiple injuries, and although he was conscious, he was obviously dying.\n\nNothing could be done for him and he never recovered.\n\nHe was about 60 feet from the gate of Tsang Foo Villas.\n\nThis man was arrested about ten minutes after the eighth defendant was arrested.\n\nNiyoji Yamashita, the boy of nine, had multiple injuries, his skull and left thigh bone being fractured.\n\nHis condition was very bad.\n\nHe was given medical treatment, but passed away at 1 a.m.\n\nSumiko Yamaguchi, the Japanese amah of 16, had multiple injuries including a scalp wound, while her skull was fractured.\n\nShe had many bruises all over her body.\n\nDr. Smalley then described her other injuries.\n\nHer wounds were inflicted by blunt weapons such as sticks or poles.\n\nMiyo Yamashita, the old lady, had a fractured skull, while two irregular lacerated wounds were growing up in Africa with education of the native races.\n\nAlleged Street Incident.\n\nA Chinese constable, B632, said he was on duty between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m. outside Tsang Foo Villas on September 27.\n\nWhilst he was on duty, he met with three men, of whom defendant was one, talking near the wall of Tsang Foo Villas.\n\nTwo policemen had been posted there.\n\nEn-vene Chen asked why ten\", Tsai Yuan-pei, C. C. Wu (Western Hills clique) conferred to represent China at the Fifth Convention of the Pacific Conference to be held next May in Canada.\n\nSince the institute has been designated to represent China at the fifth convention, a preparatory committee of 11 experts has been appointed to attend to all preliminary matters.\n\nMr. Ewen cites the case, in the year 1857, of a Mr. Bedbug who changed his name to Bowditch.\n\nA Satisfactory Conclave.\n\nShanghai, Oct. 22.\n\nMarshal Chiang Kai-shek and Messrs. Hu Han-min, Wang Ching-wei, Sun Fo, Li Chi-sen, Li Shih-shan, Tsai Yuan-pei, C. C. Wu (Western Hills clique) conferred yesterday morning for two hours.\n\nThe entire peace mission proceeded to the residence of Mr. Hu Han-min immediately upon their arrival and it was while there that Mr. Wang Ching-wei and the peace delegates will leave for Nanking immediately after a meeting with General Chiang Kai-shek.\n\nStatements of Defendants.\n\nThe 12 defendants made various statements to Mr. Whyte-Smith, A.S.P., and Sub-Inspector Murphy.\n\nMr. Whyte-Smith said that was all the evidence against this defendant, your Worship.\n\nHis Worship said that the evidence is such that no jury would convict.\n\nHe accordingly discharged the sixth and twelfth defendants.\n\nThe fourth defendant said he went so near to Tsang Foo Villas because he saw his brother had been injured and he went inside the house to see what was going on.\n\nThe fifth defendant, a boy of 15, said he was there to pick him up.\n\nThe sixth defendant, another boy of 15, said he had nothing to do with the murder.\n\nThe seventh defendant referred to a bandaged arm.\n\nThe eighth defendant, who was arrested in his hut that night, said he had never been out of his hut that evening.\n\nThe ninth defendant, who was represented by Mr. F. X. D'Almada, Sr., said he knew absolutely nothing.\n\nThe tenth, eleventh, and twelfth defendants made the same statement.\n\nTo Leave for Nanking.\n\nNanking, Oct. 22.\n\nMr. Wang Ching-wei and the peace delegates will leave for Nanking immediately after a meeting with General Chiang Kai-shek.\n\nCanton's Reservations.\n\nCanton, Oct. 22.\n\nInterviewed as to the reliability of the report that the Canton Government will be wound up within two weeks' time, a certain member of the Council has remarked that this is premature.\n\nThe Government is still uncertain whether the overthrow of dictatorial government will be effected, and the Canton Government must remain until this end has been attained.\n\nConditional Dissolution.\n\nCanton Army Changes.\n\nGen. Yen Yin-nai, Commander of the 1st New Division has tendered his resignation, and asked for troops to be disbanded.\n\nThe Government has decided to comply.\n\nGen. Ye will be reappointed as a staff officer.\n\nGen. Chan Chatong has decided to enlarge the Peace Preservation Corps into a brigade with Mr. Chan Chang-po as commander.—Rensha.\n\nMr. Eugene Chen.\n\nCanton, Oct. 22.\n\nAn extraordinary session of the Kuomintang C.E.C. to-day formally appointed Mr. Eugene Chen as delegate to the Shanghai peace parley.\n\nMr. Chen will take a leading part in discussing Sino-Foreign relations, particularly Manchurian affairs.—Central Press.\n\nAll the Talents.\n\nShanghai, Oct. 22.\n\nGood progress is being made by the leaders representing the various factions of the Kuomintang for the formation of the new National Government at Nanking representative of \"all the talents.\"\n\nIn this connexion, Mr. Wang Ching-wei, the Kuomintang Leftist leader, who is heading the Canton peace mission of five members, conferred yesterday morning for two hours with Mr. Hu Han-min, the leader of the Nanking Conservatives.\n\nThe entire peace mission proceeded to the residence of Mr. Hu Han-min immediately upon their arrival and it was while there that Mr. Wang Ching-wei and the peace delegates held a lengthy discussion of possible cases, but as a critic has pointed out, the name appears to have had little or nothing to do with either \"shake\" (verb) or \"spear.\"\n\nMASSAGE.\n\nMR. & MRS.

According to Aiton the Tiger Lily was first sent to Kew from Canton, China, in 1804 by William Kerr in the East Indiaman \"Henry Addington.”\n\nGroff (3) p. 27 states that Lilium brownii (sic) N. E. Br. is found growing wild in the Lungt'au-shan range of mountains on the borders of Southern Kiangsi and northern Kwangtung. He gives as the local name TAE Pak, Kung' fa1 - one hundred husband flower. Presumably it is the var. colchesteri to which he refers.\n\nTutcher and Ho Kai (5) p. 41, give to Lilium tigrinum Ker-Gawler, the name i Pak, Hop, and add that the bulbs and seeds are used for medicinal purposes as a \"Pulmonary sedative - used to relieve cough and congestion.\"\n\nApparently both the names i Pak, (hundred) Hop, and fl Pak (white) Hop, are used locally for both the lilies L. Brownii var. colchesteri and L. tigrinum and in addition there is the name quoted by Groff in reference to L. Brownii namely Ti Pak, Kung' fa1, hundred husband flower.

I am afraid I have been rather stupid in not quite understanding what I was to do, hence the delay, for which I apologise.\n\nIn forwarding this paper may I express to the Crown Agents for the Colonies and to the Government of Hongkong my sincere thanks for the grant of this pension which is welcome beyond words, and my very real gratitude for the kindness they have shown in the matter. I am most sincerely appreciative of this.\n\nAt the same time, if it would not be ungrateful to say so, I had very much hoped that a lump sum of something in the neighbourhood of £3000 might be given me in recognition of the more than 40 years service of my husband, the late Captain Basil Taylour R.N., Harbour Master of Hongkong. I plead that this may yet be done in view of the following facts:-\n\n1. I am an old woman and this pension of £200 now generously accorded and very gratefully acknowledged by me, will in the nature of things soon be ended, and if nothing else is done the sacrifices made for his country by my husband (and in a lesser degree by myself) will, as far as my five children are concerned, go forever unrecognised, and they will all suffer further financial loss than that which has already handicapped them ever since the war through no fault of their own but really owing to their father's patriotism.\n\n2. My husband lost approximately this sum through war service. Although the Hongkong Government had expressly and very generously guaranteed that no financial loss should be incurred when they gave Commander Basil Taylour permission to return to the Navy for war service, arranging that he should receive half his pay as Harbour Master, Marine Magistrate etc. and half his naval pay as a Commander R.N., through technicalities of one sort and another he was deprived of practically all his extra pay and allowances in both services; and through damage to his house at the Peak, exchange and other causes owing to absence from the Colony during the four years of the...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-560-9 Mrs H.M.

It began in 1896 with the Modern History, of which the twelfth and last volume appeared in 1910.\n\nMedieval History was delayed by the Great War and other untoward events, and the eighth and final volume did not appear until 1936. Now it is announced that, after sixteen years' steady work upon it, the twelfth and final volume of the Ancient History has been published.\n\nFor the first time the continuous narrative of the entire body of knowledge in all countries, from the dawn of history to the year 1910, is available. Lord Acton, the Regius Professor of History at Cambridge, initiated the scheme for the Histories in 1896. He planned a European epic, to be reared by an international band of scholars. \"Our Waterloo\", he said, \"must be one which satisfies French and English, German and Dutch alike\"; and in the Cambridge Histories the international character of the contributions has been steadily maintained.\n\nIn the last volume of the Ancient History, which has just made its appearance, twelve of the twenty chapters are written by foreign contributors, and six of the twelve are written by Germans.\n\nLord Acton sought to provide \"an illumination of the soul\" and a \"chart and compass for the coming century\". Whether mankind will be wise enough to use the chart and compass which has been provided, or ignore these lessons and plunge into catastrophe, we may learn from events in the immediate future.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-581-16 British propaganda in Hong Kong 18-4-1939 - 29-10-1939.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 573553, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-588-9 Hong Kong University- relief work 11-8-1942 - 19-11-1943", "page_number": 38, "title": "CO129-588-9 Hong Kong University- relief work 11-8-1942 - 19-11-1943", "content_text": "## \nPlease transfer penultimate farm & \nuite d' 4.9.43 (folow-774) marked ne \nmy \nand also \n26 \n110.a \nH.

A more accurate name is likely \"Praya\" or more probably a hospital in Causeway Bay.\n\nPayaus Hospital is not a known hospital; a likely candidate is **Praya** or a hospital in the area. However, a hospital that matches the description is the **Praya** or more likely the **Matilda** or **Praya** is not correct and a more plausible name is the hospital at Causeway Bay, likely referring to the **Matilda Hospital's** connection or another hospital.\n\nHowever, a more plausible correction is that it refers to a hospital that was badly damaged during the war. A likely candidate is the **Matilda Hospital** or another in Causeway Bay.\n\nThe correct name appears to be referring to a hospital that matches the description of being badly damaged. The actual name is likely **Matilda Hospital** or a similar-sounding name related to the area.\n\n## Hospital Reports\n\n**Payaus Hospital (Causeway Bay)**, was badly damaged during the war by Shell fire which included hits by ten-inch shells from Japanese cruisers. Dr. Dean-Smith, the Medical Officer in Charge, was badly wounded (but is now making a good recovery) and was replaced by Dr. P.R.S. Court.\n\nIt was still functioning on 17th Feb. and its European Staff was still interned. The hospital latterly became the Headquarters of Dr. Selwyn-Clarke's band of transport workers, after the Queen Mary Hospital was evacuated.\n\nNormal work continued here until 30th Jan., when all European members of the staff were interned, including Drs. Ashton, Alderton, Sydenham and Forbes and the Rev. Alton.\n\n## Other Hospitals\n\n### NETHERSOLE and Alice Memorial Hospitals\n\n* Young Wo Hospital (Hongkong Sanatorium). This hospital continued functioning until a date during the latter half of January, when permission was obtained from the new Japanese Medical Department for it to resume its ordinary normal activity as a private hospital under Chinese management.\n\n### Tung Wah Hospitals\n\n* Tung Wah Eastern Hospital. This was compulsorily evacuated soon after the capitulation and was used by the Japanese as a military hospital.\n* Tung Wah Hospital. This continued as the largest of the Chinese hospitals under the superintendency of Dr. Thomas (Tam Nga-shi).\n\n### Relief Hospitals\n\n* Happy Valley Relief Hospital. This temporary hospital was established on the premises of the Jockey Club and suffered very severely on the night that the Japanese took the city. Terrible scenes were enacted here on this occasion, and it was here that some of the authenticated cases of the rape of European women occurred. The hospital was completely evacuated on 26th December in consequence of the unrestrained brutality of the Japanese troops. Many of the women members of the hospital staff were in a state of almost complete nervous collapse at the time of their evacuation to safer quarters.\n* University Relief Hospital. This was the main Relief Hospital for male patients. The European staff members, with the exception of Prof. R.C. Robertson, Mr. Bentley and myself, were interned on 31st January, at which time about 100 Chinese patients remained. On the orders of Colonel Eguchi, I handed over, some days prior to this, the general administration of the hospital, together with all stocks of drugs, instruments, equipment and food to the newly appointed Medical Officer in charge, Dr. Lim Eoq Quee.\n* St. Stephen's Girls College Relief Hospital. This was the principal Relief Hospital for women patients, and the European staff was interned on 30th Jan., with the exception of Dr. Griffiths (free Irish).\n\n### Military and Naval Hospitals\n\n* Bowen Road Military Hospital. This hospital continued running under the command of Col. Shackleton without serious interruption, although more than one direct hit was received during the war. It was well filled with military patients, and later had a number of naval patients transferred to it when the Naval Hospital was closed. It was still operating on 17th Feb.\n* Royal Naval Hospital. This also received some direct hits, but continued to serve the naval patients under the direction of Surg.-Cdr. Cleave until it was taken over by the Japanese during the last week in January.\n\nOn the Kowloon side, the Kowloon Hospital, St. Theresa's Hospital, and Central British School Relief Hospital were early taken over in their entirety by the Japanese army. Medical Officers such as Dr. Newton, Dr. Uttley, and Dr. Hargreaves eventually reached the Stanley Camp.\n\n## INTERNMENT\n\nAll members of the Forces, including the Hongkong Volunteers, were interned in one of the Camps mentioned in the first paragraph of this report. Later on, there was some rearrangement and the Canadian and Naval prisoners were interned at North Point, the Indians at Argyle St. and the remainder of H.M. Forces, with the Volunteers, at the Sham Shui Po Camp.\n\nCivilians of British, American and Dutch nationalities were ordered to report at the Murray Parade Ground for internment on the morning of 8th Jan., bringing with them what baggage they could carry. Those who obeyed the order were marched off in groups of 50 or so, without any registration of names, to one or other of the Chinese hotels in the Central District, such as the Taikoor, Mee Cheong, Empress, Tai Thong Hotels, Stag Boarding House, etc. Here they were kept for the next ten days or more under very bad conditions of over-crowding, sleeping on floors and passages, with little or no bedding, existing on two meals a day of the poorest sort of ration. Many people were only able to get rice to eat. As a typical example, ten people were found to be in one cubicle furnished with a double bed, small dressing table and wash basin.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-590-23 Situation in Hong Kong 25-4-1905 - 25-4-1905.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 575802, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-590-24 Situation in Hong Kong 25-4-1905 - 25-4-1905", "page_number": 154, "title": "CO129-590-24 Situation in Hong Kong 25-4-1905 - 25-4-1905", "content_text": "153\n\nto break the monotony of camp life.\n\nAlthough the work of the Medical Department, Private Practitioners and Dentists, must of necessity be outside the scope of this report, such would be incomplete were not mention made and a meed of praise given to those doctors and nursing sisters who have so willingly and ably looked after our health and who have so assiduously attended to our requirements in the various Block Dispensaries and Clinics and at Tweed Bay Hospital.

The reason why this report has been printed and published by His Majesty's Stationery Office is not, as would normally have been the case, by the Government of Hong Kong lies in the fact that when the report was submitted to me by Dr. Selwyn-Clarke at your suggestion on the 3rd March of this year, no civil administration existed in the Colony. As a detailed record of health conditions under Japanese occupation, the reports have, it was thought, a unique interest and my predecessor therefore decided to take the exceptional step of printing them as a confidential Colonial Office paper.\n\n3. Unfortunately, owing to heavy demands on the Stationery Office and the pressure of work in this department, there has been a regrettable delay in the publication of this report.\n\nOne hundred and twenty-five copies have been printed and I should be glad to know in due course how many copies you would wish to have sent out to Hong Kong. It may be that you will recommend that copies should be sent to certain individuals or bodies in this country.\n\n(1/45) [4421B] Wt. 18047/424 50m, 7/45 C.N.Ld. 748", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-592-2 Reports on current situation- medical work 3-3-1946 - 12-5-1947.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 580717, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-593-5 Rehabilitation of Hong Kong University.

I am by no means averse to such devolution in principle, and it has long seemed to me that the traditional financial tutelage by the Secretary of State is out of date in most Colonial territories. H.M.G. can and must, however, maintain the right to attach reasonable conditions when they are in a position to grant or facilitate something which an advanced Colonial territory requires. The more advanced a Colonial territory is, the more do I think this right should be emphasized, since it is after all the normal process of bargaining which takes place in negotiations between equals. That is to say, it brings advancing Colonial territories face to face with the facts of life and emphasizes that they are increasingly looking after their own affairs. Relating all this to the particular case of Hong Kong, the obvious lesson seems to me to be that we should use the present occasion to bring home our point about taxation policy. In other words, we should make it clear to the Governor, and ask him to make it quite clear to his unofficials, that there is no hope of Hong Kong raising a London loan unless H.M.G. can be persuaded that local resources are first being fully exploited, both by taxation and by internal borrowing.\n\nIn the first instance, I think we should approve the estimates as in the attached draft telegram. When the telegram has gone off, the papers should be recirculated for further consideration of the despatch in relation to (a) the taxation issue, (b) the external loan requirement as stated by the Governor, and (c) the very important section in paragraph 29-31 about the cost of defence. There will be many important points to be examined, other than those to which I have already referred; for example, Hong Kong's proposal to raise external money must be considered in relation to the political situation in China, and perhaps the best course would be to arrange a meeting between Geographical Department, Defence Department, and Finance Department.\n\nI do not know whether it would be necessary to obtain the concurrence of the Treasury in the attached draft telegram. To judge from paragraph 5 of the immediately preceding minute, this appears not to be necessary, but you may care to consult Colonel Russell Edmunds or Mr. Moberley over the telephone. I do not think the Treasury could possibly object to the telegram, since it clearly betokens that there is thunder in the air, and since we obviously have no alternative but to approve the estimates.\n\nExtract from H.T.B. \n5. 7.49 \n\nIn East Economie ...

Your telegram No. 805.\n\n**PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION**\n\nI concur in appointment of Gordon Smith as Chairman.\n\nRegarding remuneration, I feel that it would be more appropriate to regard the Chairman as on a par with the Attorney General and Financial Secretary and remunerate him on that basis i.e., $1,450 per mensem. If that is agreed I consider that suitable remuneration for members for whole-time duty would be $1,200 per mensem. If you consider that $1,350 is minimum you could offer I should, however, raise no objection. I assume, however, that members would normally be occupied part-time only and in that case I suggest payment of suitable fees as mentioned in paragraph 3 of my circular despatch of 30th August 1949.\n\n3. I appreciate that remuneration is a matter for your decision in the light of local circumstances and having regard to the position of the members selected. As Public Service Commissions are being set up in other Territories, however, I am anxious that no undesirable precedent should be created and I would be grateful if you would have regard to this.\n\n4. Regarding paragraph 10 of your telegram I would invite reference to the general principles outlined in my circular saving telegram of 4th August, 1949. In the circumstances I see no objection to Gordon Smith drawing full emoluments of the post in addition to his pensions.\n\n5. As regards your savingram No. 972 of the 25th October, I am disturbed by the terms of the amended clause 11(1)(e) regarding promotion and consider it unacceptable. The amended clause must, I feel, convey the implication that all superscale posts will normally be filled by local promotion from the time-scale. There is, however, as you know a certain range of posts for which I am committed to consider candidates throughout the Colonial Service.

We have, indeed, given a good deal of thought to it, but I am afraid we cannot even now say anything definite on the central question whether the University is to receive assistance from C.D. & W. funds. As you know, in his consideration of applications from Universities, the Secretary of State relies very largely for guidance on the Colonial University Grants Advisory Committee and the Inter-University Council. The Executive Committee of the Inter-University Council have told us that they would prefer not to comment on your despatch (which they have studied) until their representatives have visited Hong Kong early next year. I might add here that they expressed the same view on your despatch No. 55 about the School of Architecture, while, as to your despatch No. 32 on the proposal to convert the Tung Wah Hospital into a teaching hospital, they have said that they could not support a proposal that funds should be found from the C.D. and W. higher education allocation because they consider this should be reserved for directly educational schemes and not used for the provision of health services. We feel it would be impolitic to press them either to reconsider their view.\n\nSir A.

On the requisition of the Colony, it was found that the stock belonging to the Colony had been seriously depleted and efforts were made to recover many of the missing coaches, wagons, and locomotives on the Canton-Kowloon Railway or on the Chinese lines.\n\nThe Colony was experiencing difficulty in pursuing these enquiries without the Chinese authorities agreeing to an investigation of all rolling stock on their lines by a joint committee representing both sides.\n\n3. Up to July, investigations were reported on the Chinese lines between the Kowloon Frontier and Sam Shui, where 29 coaches, 65 wagons, and 2 locomotives, all of British ownership, were found.\n\n3. When the findings of the committee were made known to the Chinese authorities, they reserved their reply.\n\nThe Chinese authorities stated they had not been appointed by their Ministry to negotiate without reference to their superiors.\n\nThe Chinese authorities were not willing to return the rolling stock or alternatively to reinstate British ownership and pay hire charges. Representations were made to Nanking without avail.\n\n4. The reason given by the Chinese authorities was that they could not act without the consent of the Ministry of Communications.\n\nThe Ministry refused to give in to the British demands. The Chinese press had intimated that they would use their own rolling stock to maintain traffic on their lines, intending to win time as long as possible so as to maintain their services, wanting and obtaining new stock from abroad.\n\n6. Interviews were held between the British and Chinese Railway representatives on May 17, and the British representation regarding the ownership of certain coaches was made. It was possible to follow up this mission, but attempts to prove British ownership proved fruitless.

I do not know whether it still is, as it has lost caste to a great extent in the Far East during the last eighteen months or so. In case, however, that you have seen the article on page 440 of the issue of the 6th April and are a little alarmed by the statement that we have shelved the proposal to raise the standard rate of earnings and profits tax, it may perhaps be a good thing to give you a little background information regarding this periodical.\n\nThe present editor, one E. Halpern, an Austrian Jew, has not been giving satisfaction for some time and his directors decided to get rid of him. They have been trying for a long time to find a suitable substitute. They have succeeded in interesting candidates in the United Kingdom, but they have backed out at the last moment. However, I gather that now they have at last managed to find someone. No suitable substitute is available locally, so, until they can import someone, it is a matter of bearing with Halpern or closing down the paper.\n\nHalpern was always irresponsible and, when warned over the gold transactions question that he was doing harm, he persisted in his activities. His Board instructed him to submit all his copy to one of the directors for scrutiny before publication, but he only submitted such portion of the copy as suited his convenience. He was in trouble with the Bank of China some little time ago, and had to publish an apology. You may also have noticed an apology which he inserted fairly recently in regard to a statement about our Exchange Control which was probably actionable. I enclose a copy of the correspondence for your information.\n\nNow just before the Budget Debate, no doubt suspecting that we might have to impose additional taxation, he published an article on the finances of the Colony. That this was done with the object of causing us embarrassment I do not doubt and the theme was that, for some unspecified ulterior motive, I consistently under-estimated revenue and over-estimated expenditure. Actually the final expenditure figure during the last three years has been slightly over the original estimate, so there has certainly been no over-estimation. Far as revenue is concerned, receipts from duties on various articles are subject to the most violent fluctuation. Example in the case of tobacco they have varied between $182 million and $35 million and in the case of hydrocarbon oils (mostly kerosene) between $2 million and $13 million. All depends on the exports of duty-paid stocks and whether any drawback is claimed, which in turn depends on the degree of confusion which obtains at any particular time. We obviously cannot gamble on heavy smuggling of duty-paid stocks.\n\nSir Hilton Poynton, K.C.M.G.,\n\nColonial Office,\n\nLONDON.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-623-8 Estimates of Expenditure- includes a report for the year ending March 1951 1-12-1949 - 31-3-1951.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 597831, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-625-2 Finance- revenue equalization fund 1-1-1951 - 31-12-1951", "page_number": 23, "title": "CO129-625-2 Finance- revenue equalization fund 1-1-1951 - 31-12-1951", "content_text": "Annex\n\nReconstruction of Public Motor Roads\n\nEstimate\n\n1952/53\n\n· Proposed programme in detail\n\n \n \n 53/54\n 54/55\n 55/56\n 56/57\n Sec.File\n Notes\n \n \n Hong Kong Island\n \n \n Urban Main Street\n \n \n Belcher St., from Sand St. to Cadogan St.\n 110,000\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Kennedy Town New praya\n 110,000\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n King's Rd. from Ritz to Shu Kuk St.\n 250,000\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Connaught Rd.,C. from Pedder St. to Gilman St.\n 300,000\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Garden Rd.\n 130,000\n 240,000\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Upper Albert Rd.\n 120,000\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Chater Rd.\n 100,000\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Urban Side Streets\n \n \n Kat On St.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Hing Wan St.\n 11,000\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n King Sing St.\n 11,000\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Kennedy St.\n 6,000\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Lung On St.\n 21,000\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Anton St.\n 8,000\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Landale St.\n 14,000\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Li Chit St.\n 14,000\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Burrows St.\n 12,000\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Mallory St.\n 12,000\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Rutter St.\n 12,000\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n On Tai St.\n 9,000\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Percival St.\n 50,000\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Bowen Rd,\n 20,000\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Suburban Roads\n \n \n Wong Nei Chung Rd.\n 340,000\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Victoria Rd.\n 40,000\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Island Rd.
