From henceforward amity and goodwill shall ever con- tinue, and those from afar and those who are near shall perpetually rejoice together. Such is the fervent hope of the High Commissioner and his col- leagues; and in this hope they command implicit obedience to what is now thus specially promulgated. \n\nA true Translation, \n\n(Signed) J.

Sir, The vast importance of the Chinese Tariff requires that it should be reduced to English weights, measures, and monies, for the use of British merchants, and not having yet observed that this has beca done, I beg to trouble yon with such s table, toge- ther with a few observations upon the standard to be observed. \n\nThe definition and determination of the Chinese tael is ex- preased in several different ways. 1st. It has been generally in England taken to be one third of the pound sterling, or Gs. 8d., or 80 pence, making the mace its 10th, S., and the caudareen its 100th part, 8-10ths of a penny. This simple relation to our own money would be a great advantage to English merchants if it were fully established, but some, as Beawes, make the candareen Ed., reducing the tael to 62. 3d. \n\n2ndly. It is now, however, for the most part compared with the Spanish dollar. Thus the latest and perhaps the highest sathority, that of Mr. Pope, in the Yearly Journal of Trade for 1843, states 72 taels to be equivalent to 100 dollars. The Spanish dollar is commonly estimated at 4s. Gd., but her Majesty's proclu- mation (Yearly Journal of Trada, 1840, p. 391), issued for the West Indies, makes it equivalent to 48. 2d. The tael, therefore, will be 6s. 3d, if we take the former, and 58. 94d. if the latter, for our guide. \n\n3rdly. It was originally compared with the Chinese silver coin called mace, and their copper coin called cash, but the mase has been long disused; 1000 cash were once equivalent to one fuel, but the depreciation of these coins by deterioration of the metal and reduction of their weight, so amply illustrated in the highly interesting and most authentic work of Mr. Davis, has now rendered the tael equal to a much greater number of cash. By Sir Henry Pottinger's Hong Kong proclamation of the 29th of March, 1842, 1200 of them are declared equal to one dollar. In weight I have found them vary from about 85 graina troy to twice as much. Du Halde says that the French sou is equivalent to the 100th part of the tael, that is to the caudareen, and also that it is equal to 6 cash, instead of 10. \n\n4thly. The Chinese tael is a weight, and has its value expressed by European weights, either avoirdupois or troy, and this is the truest mode of determining its equivalent in fine silver, seeing that the references to English money do not agree, that dollars differ materially in value, and that the Chinese cash are still more different from each other in their weight and quality. Measra. Gordon and Crawfurd, in their admirable treatise upon Chinese commerce, give a table stating the tacl is equal to 1 1-3 ounce avoirdupois, or 579.84 grains troy. These, unfortunately, do not agree neither, for 1 1-3 oz. avoirdupois contains 437.5 and 145.8 1-3 grs., or 583.3 1-3 grs, troy, and not 579.84. Again, Beawez in his \"Lex Mercatoria,\" states that the tael was 1 oz. 2 dr., of course troy weight, which in 480 and 120, or 600 grains. The editor of \"Mortimer's Commercial Dictionary,\" in his “Universal Commerce,\" p. 64, says 100 taels should weigh 120 oz. 10 dwts. troy, or 57840 grs., or the single tael 5734, which is less than any of the above. He says, also, that 100 Spanish dollars should weigh 68 13 dwts.; that is, 42,552 grs., of which we take the 72nd part, according to Mr. Pope, the tael comes out 591 grs. Now, 16 taels make a catty, and 100 catties a pecul; all autho- rities, I believe, concur in making the pecul 133 1-3 ib. avoirdu- pois, or the catty I 1-3 B., for which reason I prefer taking the tael as 1 1-3 oz., or 183 1-3 grs. The English crown piece, or N. is so nearly an avoirdupois ounce that if we could make this the standard the tael would come out as at first 5a, and 20d., or 6s. 8d., or 80d.; but in China all silver coin is taken as bullion, and the duties of course will be paid in fullion. The real value of the tael must, therefore, be sought in the market price of stan- dard silver. This, at the present time, I find to bo da. 1110. per ounce troy, which is almost exactly 48. 6d, the ouuoo avoirdupois, or 6s. the tacl; and I have accordingly made this my standard in the following table, wherein I have reduced the Tariff to English weights and monies. I prefer this to taking the market price of the dollar, whether Mexican or Spanish, new or pillar, and using the multiplier 1,204, because I consider that the term \"syees” means \"perfectly pure.\" This word I believe to be originally Chinese, although the characters used by the Chinese to express it do not indicate its proper etymology. I have no doubt that it was originally, in the orthoepy of Morrison, \"tsuh sih,\" or \"full quality;\" but the characters commonly used for it mean \"fine silk,\" expressive of what minoralogists would call it's \"lustre sating.\"* \n\nI cannot conclude without suggesting that, at the present low price of copper, 1000 tona, costing 70,000Z. or 80,0007., might advantageously be coined into Chinese cash, weighing each a 1-3 gra. This would greatly relieve the distress of the neighbourhood of Swansea, and supply Hong Kong and the Chinese with a good currency during the present and the next generation; for, if neatly executed, it would be universally coveted and hearded up in abundance, and would be a good payment for tea, instead of opium. On one side of the coin I would have the words \"Victoria Regina,\" and on the other, as usual, “perforated token,\" with \"Iong Kong\" instead of the Emperor's name. \n\nBristol, Oct. 14. \n\nI am, Sir, your obedient servant, \n\nSAM.

It is understood this tax was instituted in imitation of a similar one which had proved productive at Singapore, but without taking into consideration the very different position of the two settlements:\n\nSingapore is a large emporium surrounded by a populous country, from which Opium radiates as it were, as from a centre from which there is no other source of supply. Hong Kong may be also considered as a centre, but from which supplies can only radiate if she can sell the prepared drug more cheaply than it can be procured at Macao, Cumsingmoon, or the adjacent Islands: her only advantage is that the crude material can be prepared for use openly, which seems to be the case all over China at present.",

        "content_text": "a speedy administration of Justice indispensable to the true interests of the Colony; and as I view Judicial Tribunals as an integral part of the Government, upon their movements and working will, in my judgment, greatly depend the respect with which this Colony will be regarded by its own Inhabitants, and those of its immediate vicinity.\n\nI wrote to Major Hulme a private note requesting to be informed if the Vacation were granted, that if the measure were granted, no Courts were to be held for the disposal of Business, or for the adjudication of matters of a Criminal, Civil or Summary nature during the four months, and I think it proper to enclose a Copy of his reply. To prevent misapprehension I would now remark that as a matter of course, the Court would not sit in its Summary Jurisdiction; a state of things that I know does not exist within the jurisdiction of the Queen's Courts at any one of the three Presidencies of India, nor at any of the three settlements in the Straits of Malacca.\n\nIn each of the latter, Courts of Requests for the adjudication of small debts sit at least once a week, and the Superior Court twice in each week when required throughout the year, except when occupied in holding its Criminal Sessions. This system was not dissented from by any of the Recorders, among whom I may mention the late Sir Benjamin Malkin, afterwards Puisne Judge of the Supreme Court of Calcutta, Sir Edward Gambier now Chief Justice at Madras, and Sir William Morris, for ten years Recorder in the Eastern Settlements. With all these gentlemen, I had the honour to be associated as one of the Judges of the Court of Judicature of Prince of Wales' Island, Singapore, and Malacca; and I therefore speak from personal knowledge of the facts.\n\nFrom Your Lordship's Despatch No. 136",

        "content_text": "# 12\n\nHONG KONG.\n\nREPORTS EXHIBITING THE PAST AND PRESENT\n\nEnclosure 12.\n\nMEMORANDUM on the JUNK TRADE of HONG KONG, during the Year 1851.\n\nVictoria, Hong Kong, 20th January 1852,\n\nChinese Secretary's Office.\n\nIt was explained in a Memorandum of the 14th March 1850, upon this subject, that no information, at all reliable, could be obtained respecting the native Junk Trade in any anchorage except that of Victoria.\n\nMonthly returns drawn up in the manner described in the same document show that in 1851 Victoria Harbour was visited by 1,004 Marine Junks, carrying sundry cargoes; an increase of nearly 20 per cent. upon the monthly average of 1850.\n\nThe monthly returns of the salt monopoly state an import of 280,300 piculs of that article in 543 junks. The quantity is not above four fifths of the import of 1850, and the far greater number of salt junks can only be accounted for by the fact that much of the salt has been imported by vessels carrying a mixed cargo. These have doubtless been included by the salt monopolist in his total of salt junks.\n\nIn the stone trade there is a slight increase; the monthly returns of the stone monopoly showing an export of 565 cargoes from the Colonial quarries.\n\nThe subjoined table will give some idea of the monthly progress of the native trade during the year under review. The larger portion of it by far is done by junks from small towns and villages along the coast of the Kwang Tung Province, east of the Canton River. These send areca nut, betel leaf,\n\nMarine Junks belonging to\nJanuary\nFebruary\nMarch\nApril\nMay\nJune\nJuly\nAugust\nSeptember\nOctober\nNovember\nDecember\nTotal\n\nTien-tsin\n\n7\n\nPuh-kien Coast,\n\n98\n1\n\nAmoy\n\n1\n\nFormosa\n\n786\n\nKwang Tung\n88\n268\n268\n29\n\n47\n\nCanton\n\n100\n000\n10\n1\n\n40\n\nKwang Tung West\n\n80\n54\n\n41\n\nHainan\n28,400\n40\n104\n17\n\n1\n\ng\n\n&\n\n113\n91\n44\n\n4\n\n24,500\n23,800\n23,800\n21,200\n19,700\n\n1\n\n90\n41\n60\n41\n\n1,004\n\nMonthly total of Salt Junks\n75\n46\n70\n\n83\n47\n\n543\n\nMonthly total of Imported Salt\n21,700\n41\n72\n40\n\n280,300\n\nMonthly total of Stone Cargoes exported\n24,500\n40\n76\n47\n24,300\n10\n101\n46\n24,000\n\n70\n41\n19,900\n562\n\ncharcoal, cotton, cloth, crockery, and ready-made clothes, new and second-hand, drugs, dried fruit, dried meat, eggs, firewood, grass-cloth, hams, hardware, iron, lard, linseed, livestock, nankeen, oil, potato flour, pease, coarse paper, rice, sugar, saltfish, salt, skins, sugar canes, shoes, silk, soy, tobacco leaf, vegetables, fresh and salted, wine and wheat.\n\nThe junks from Canton and the coast west of it bring much the same cargoes. The latter more properly speaking, belong to the districts along the west bank of the river.\n\nThe Tien-tsin junks brought rugs, cotton cloths, cotton, skins, deers horns, deers sinews, lams, dried fruits, pears, cabbages, pease, beans, wine, and drugs.\n\nThose of the Fuhkien coast and Amoy, alum, camphor, coal, salt, and sulphur, cotton, cotton cloth, grass cloth, nankeen, sheep skins, shoes, bricks, tea, sugar candy, pease, beans, and potato flour.\n\nA single junk from Formosa, coal and sulphur.\n\nThose from Hai-nán, bark, wood, rattans, sandalwood, skins, drugs, soy, salt beef and mutton, salt, barley, beans, rice, oil, cocoa nuts, areca nuts, live stock, dried fish, sharks fins, rock-suckers, and biche-de-mer.\n\nThe Cochin Chinese carried cloths, cotton yarns, rice, and drugs.\n\nThe three Siamese junks, nutmegs, Brazil wood, peppers, skins, areca nuts, bark, drugs,\n\nglasses, rattans, sandalwood, dried fish, rice, and biche-de-mer.\n\nThe four Singaporeans, the same, as also cotton yarns and opium.\n\nThe single Penang vessel, drugs, nutmegs, pepper, and sandalwood.\n\nThe Tien-tsin junks are said to take away opium in no small quantities, and much is of course carried in the Kwang Tung coast junks, some of which, belonging to the nearer ports, make as many as six voyages in the year to and from Hong Kong.\n\nThere is nothing to account for the great decrease of the salt imported. The stone trade is considerably above what it has been for the last two years, and the marine junk trade, which is of the chief consequence, better than it has been for the last three years; as will be seen by the following table :--\n\nJunks and Cargoes\n1848\n1849\n1850\n1851\n\nMarine, average per month\n80\n72\n83\n\n83\n\nSalt Junks\n524\n334\n456\n543\n\nImported, piculs salt\n207,050\n335,350\n345,050\n280,300\n\nStone junks\n777\n407\n\n562\n\n(Signed)\n\nTHOMAS WADE,\n\nAssistant Chinese Secretary.\n\nPage 363\n\nPage 363\n\nEnclosure 13.\n\nLIST of WHALERS arrived in HONG KONG. 1851-1852.\n\nSTATE OF HER MAJESTY'S COLONIAL POSSESSIONS.\n\nVessels Names\nMasters\nWhere owned,\nAgents or Owners,\nMonths out\nSperm Oil, in Barrels of 31 Gallons old Measure\nWhale Oil, in Barrels of 314 Gallons old Measure\nBone\nArrived\nSailed,\nWhere bound\nConsignees in Hong Kong\n\nGeorge and Mary\n\n4,400\n\nDec.\n\nCruise\nRawle, Drinker, & Co.\n\nMetacom\n\n74,174\n\n4 Jan. 19\n\nCruise\nRawle, Drinker, & Co.\n\nHibernia\n\nRawle, Drinker, & Co.\n\nCondor\n\nFeb. 12\n\nCruise\nRawle, Drinker, & Co.\n\nStephania\n\nCruise\nRawle, Drinker, & Co.\n\nRhone\n\nRawle, Drinker, & Co.\n\nHercules\n\n244\n2194**\n\nMount Wollaston\n\nNew Bedford\n\nMorca\n\nHobomok\n\nHarvest\n\nSt. George\n\nFrancis\n\nWilliam Hamilton\n\nGeneral Pike\n\nFriends\n\nBrougham\n\nWashington Roman\n\nIllinois\n\nCharles\n\nCarrol\n\nAdeline\n\nCossack\n\nMalherbe\n\nHavre\n\nTaber\n\nAllen\n\nMiller\n\nPhillips\n\nGraham\n\nBailey\n\nHammond\n\nWeaver\n\nSwift\n\nWing\n\nWoodbridge\nHathaway\n\nNew Bedford\n\nG.

        "content_text": "## THE LONDON AND CHINA TELEGRAPH\n\n### ARTICLES OF IMPORT\n\n#### TEA\nThe public sale of last week was larger than any that have been held for many months past, and consisted principally of a good selection of Congous and Scented Teas. The prices obtained for Congous were very irregular, owing to the hesitation of buyers; but, on the whole, they showed a decline on those given at the last sale. There is no alteration of importance in the value of Scented Teas, with the exception of the lower grades of Scented Orange Pekoes, which are rather lower, and all descriptions of Green Tea realised full prices. Some dust sold at the sale at 4d. to 6d., but it was offered \"with all faults.\" Some interest was taken in a few parcels of Japan Greens, of Rifleman, which has just arrived, and a few transactions in them have taken place, and the remainder of this cargo will no doubt be readily disposed of, as there is a good demand for all descriptions of Green Teas. The market price of Common Congou is 11d. per lb. Sound Broken Leaf can be bought at 6½d. per lb., and Tea Dust at about 5½d. per lb.\n\n#### SILK\nSince our last report the Silk market has experienced little or no change, no one buying beyond present requirements. The absence of demand, both at home and abroad, has been almost unprecedented, and prices are mostly nominal. The arrival this week of some of the early shipments of the new China crop has created a slight diversion, about 400 bales finding buyers; the opening price of Tsatlee being 26s. to 30s. In Canton Silk there has been some little business doing at rather easier rates, but the assortment is by no means generally desirable. Japan Silk is quite neglected. The total deliveries show a slight improvement, being 407 bales China, and 234 bales Japan. We can as yet discern no general improvement in the Silk market; the first unloading of new Chinas has naturally attracted some attention, and led to some little business, but there is no disposition on the part of the trade to buy more Silk than is absolutely necessary, and speculation seems out of the question. The opening price for classic No. 3 Tsatlee, 29s., is higher than some people expected, but appears moderate as compared with the quotations we have for some time past been accustomed to. There is a wide margin between chop Silk and medium and inferior descriptions, red Peacock having been sold at 26s. 6d., and good No. 4 at 26s. The estimate of export for the season has been reduced by recent telegrams from China to 40,000 bales, and if the reported failure of the second crop prove true, it is possible that even this figure may not be reached. In Japan Silk there is nothing doing, the best descriptions of Mibash are firmly held, but ordinary and inferior qualities are pressed for sale.\n\n| Description | Price |\n| --- | --- |\n| Taatlee, No. 1 & 2 | 26 0 to 30 0 |\n| No. 3 | 24 0 to 27 0 |\n| Tsenfa and Hainio, No. 1 & 2 | 20 0 to 23 0 |\n| No. 3 | 18 0 to 20 0 |\n| Tarsaam, No. 1 & 2 | 18 0 to 23 0 |\n| No. 3 | 14 0 to 20 0 |\n| Long Reel Skeins | ... |\n| Canton | ... |\n| Japan: Tsinchew & Sinchew, No. 1 & 2 | 17 0 to 23 0 |\n| Ida, Bricks, No. 1 & ... | 21 0 to 26 0 |\n| No. 3 | 27 0 to 30 0 |\n| Soudni, No. 1 & 2 | 21 0 to 26 0 |\n| No. 3 | 21 0 to 26 0 |\n\n#### COTTON\nThe market since our last report has remained extremely quiet, the business having been to some extent restricted by the firmness of holders. The only sale of China reported is of 30 bales fair quality at 6¼d. per lb.\n\n#### SUGAR\nThere has been a fair demand from the trade, but speculators having done but little in the article scarcely any alteration in prices has taken place, and quotations of most descriptions are about the same as on the 8th ult. Foreign refined continues to be offered at prices lower than to allow the English refiners to compete with profitable results, but as the prospects of supply from the cane-growing countries indicate an out-turn by no means equal to our requirements, it is not probable that any material fall in values will take place, unless, indeed, the production of beetroot sugar should be on a larger scale than hitherto. The deliveries in all the sugar-consuming countries are progressing most satisfactorily, showing a decided and steady increase. The last sale of the Dutch Trading Company took place on the 24th ult., and comprised 39,000 baskets, Java; grey and yellow realised the rates current at the May sale, but white sold at 1s. decline. The principal transactions on the spot have comprised 14,000 casks West India; 16,000 bags Mauritius; 8,000 bags Bengal; 14,000 bags Madras; 1,500 bags Penang; 33,000 bags Manila; 1,200 casks Cuba and Porto Rico, and 850 bags Guatemala. The imports of sugar into the United Kingdom during the seven months ending 31st July amounted to 341,758 tons, against 322,277; the deliveries for home consumption were 316,846 tons, against 272,761, and for export and coastwise 5,966 tons, against 18,006. The stock on the 1st August was 189,736 tons, against 221,253 at the same date in 1866.\n\n#### SPICES\nAt the quarterly sales on the 29th ultimo, comprising 1,260 tons, bales Ceylon, good and fine qualities were difficult to sell, and only partly realised at moderate prices; medium quality brought full rates, and the inferior sorts an advance of 1d. to 2d. on the April sales, viz., fourths 1s. 3d. to 1s. 9d., thirds 1s. 10d. to 2s. 1d., seconds 2s. to 2s. 6d., firsts 2s. 6d. to 2s. 9d., and superior 2s. 6d. to 3s. 1d. per lb.

Sapanwood: Steady, and tons Siam at auction realised £12 to £12 15s., also one-third of 35 tons Ceylon offered, realised £10 15s. per ton.\n\n#### COFFEE\nThere has been a good demand, and although supplies have been ample, the values of good current descriptions have been maintained. Fine sorts have shown an advancing tendency, but common and low qualities have sold irregularly and at lower rates. The shipments from Ceylon at the last returns were 714,000 cwts., against 723,000 last season, made up of 545,000 cwts. Plantation and 169,000 cwts. Native, against 510,000 and 213,000, and the quantity now afloat for this country is 18,000 tons, against 18,000 last year. The principal transactions on the spot, with the latest prices paid, have comprised 6,000 casks 2,000 bags Plantation Ceylon, low middling to good bold greens 74s. 6d. to 84s. 6d., low middling to good middling blue 74s. 6d. to 82s., bold 85s. 6d., peaberry 91s. to 95s.; 200 casks 2,500 bags Native Ceylon, fine ordinary bold 64s., good ordinary 59s., small 50s., peaberry 65s. 6d. to 65s.; and 8,000 packages East India - Singapore, ordinary 45s. to 48s., Java 68s. The total deliveries of coffee in Holland from the 1st of January to the 31st of July were 484,694 bags, against 358,307 bags in 1866, and the stock at the end of last month was 525,500 bags, against 580,100 bags.\n\n#### CURRANTS\nIn fair demand, and 2,000 packages good Pegu have realised 37s. to 38s. per cwt.\n\n#### CAMPHOR\nChina and Japan descriptions are firm, with fair private business at £6 15s. to £7 per cwt.\n\n#### GUM BENJAMIN\nThe market is steady, and of 56 cases Siam at auction half sold at £24 to £24 15s. per cwt. For fine third quality, and £11 to £11 15s. for dark. Of 42 cases Sumatra three-fourths sold at £8 2s. 6d. to £8 12s. 6d. per cwt. for false packed second quality.\n\n#### GALLS\nThe transactions have comprised 100 cases China at 6¼s., and a small portion Japan at 5¾s. per cwt.\n\n#### MANILA HEMP\nThe market is now firm, with a moderate business at fully the previous rates, 587 bales having been sold at auction at £49 10s. to £50 5s. per ton for fair current quality.\n\n#### PEPPER\nThere has been a fair inquiry for black privately, and nearly 8,000 bags have been sold, Penang at 2¼d. to 2 15/16d., Singapore 3d. to 5/16d., and Tellicherry at 3¼d. At public sale, 840 bags Penang were all taken at 2¼d.; also 164 bags Singapore White at 5d. to 5¼d., and 100 bags privately at 5d. cash.\n\n#### RICE\nA rise in the Corn market, consequent upon the uncertain weather, has been followed by a movement in this article. Owing, however, to the small stock there has been but little in which to operate on the spot, and in consequence the greater part of the transactions have taken place in floating cargoes or parcels. About 18,000 bags have changed hands on the spot at full to rather higher prices, viz., 10s. 9d. to 12s. 3d. for Soft-grain, and 16s. to 16s. 6d. for white Bengal. Of floating cargoes about forty have changed hands, the latest sales being at 11s. to 11s. 3d. for ...\n\n#### TAPIOCA\nAt auction 136 bags Singapore were chiefly sold, good middling and good white 4¼d. to 5d. per lb.; and 165 bags pearl Tapioca fetched 30s. to 31s. per cwt.\n\n### ARTICLES OF EXPORT\n\n#### IRON\nThe quotations in London are for Welsh bars, £5 15s. to £6; nail rods, £7 10s. to £7 15s.; hoops, £8 10s. to £9; sheets, single, £9 15s. to £10; Staffordshire bars, £7 10s. to £7 15s.; rails, £4 5s.\n\n#### COPPER\nSheet and Sheathing, £79 to £83 per ton; yellow metal, 7d. to 7¼d. per lb.\n\n#### TIN\n£91 for block; £92 for common bars.

French and Smith :- \nThere has been no activity in the Metal Market the past month, the increasing abundance and cheapness of money having apparently no influence. Almost all transactions reported have been for immediate consumption or shipment. Iron: Scotch and Welsh are quoted a shade easier; Staffordshire is steady, with a good demand for the East; and as some few of the railways are on the market again for Rails, a firmer tone in this branch of the trade may reasonably be expected. Copper is rather lower than at the beginning of July. The mail on 18th ult., brought advices of charters for about 1,400 tons Copper, 850 tons of which were Bars. That on the 29th ult. brought advices of about 1,800 tons Copper, of which 1,200 were Bars. Sales of Bars have been made at £67 10s. Prices now quoted are: Bars, £84 to £85; Wallaroo, £82 to £83; English Tough Cake, £75 to £76; Chili Bars, £68 to £69. Tin: A large business was done in Tin during July, principally for immediate delivery; and the quantity of Straits taken out of warehouse here is very large. The consumption in England continues great, especially for Tin-Plate manufacturers, whose works were never more fully employed. The price for fine Straits in July was between £86 10s. and £87; it is rather weak Banca is at the latter quotation to-day through some pressing sellers. steady in Holland at 53 guilders; English firm, at quotations. Tin Plates are in very good demand, and, notwithstanding the large production, prices are rather stronger. The shipments in July were 140,000 boxes, against 165,000 boxes same month in 1866. By the Board of Trade returns, the exports, January to June, were 36,690 tons, against 34,750 tons in 1866, and 30,410 in 1855. Lead is more inquired for, although there is no improvement in price. Spelter advanced in the middle of July to £21 5s., at which some small business was done, but has gone back to £20 17s. 6d. The stock on 31st July was 3,627 tons, against 6,808 tons in 1866. Quicksilver unchanged.\n\n### EXPORT OF BULLION TO CHINA, &c.\n\nThe following return shows the shipments of bullion from Southampton from the 1st January by the P. and O.

As soon as they appeared the band struck up the National Anthem, the whole audience standing, and after the music had ceased, they gave three hearty cheers, which His Royal Highness and Lady MacDonnell gracefully acknowledged.\n\n4\n\n\"The performance was commenced by the Amateur Dramatic Club, who gave Charles Dance's comedy in two acts, 'A Wonderful Woman.' The plot is of a simple nature. Madame Hortense Bertand, a rich widow, desirous of being present on a state occasion, at which she cannot appear unless she holds aristocratic rank, suggests to the Marquis de Frontignac, who has fallen into great monetary straits, the mutually advantageous arrangement of a marriage--he, for money, she, for rank. To this the Marquis assents, signing the marriage contract, without reading it. In this contract, there is a clause to the effect that as soon as the marriage ceremony is over, the Marquis and his bride are to separate, he being duly provided for pecuniarily--which clause, however, the Marquis is not aware of. The marriage is gone through; and, after it, the attention of the nobleman is called by his bride to the special proviso.\n\n\"It gives dire offence to the Marquis, who refuses to receive any money from his new wife. Leaving her his title, he takes up with a good-natured little cobbler of his acquaintance, and being driven to extremities manfully determines to better his fortune at the last. The trouble is in the end set to rights by the lady herself destroying the marriage contract.\n\n\"The Marquis de Fontignac, the leading character of the piece, was admirably acted by Mr. Hockey (the names were of course assumed), a gentleman who possesses the very high talent of being able thoroughly to throw himself into the part he undertakes. His conception of the character of the Marquis, easy-going and careless, but still imbued with honorable and high sentiments, was very accurate; and his rendering of his conception was full of tact and talent. In the second act, where he appears in cobbler's garb with old Crepin, and pointing to the sign over his door, of 'The Marquis de Fontignac, Cobbler,' succeeds in humbling the spirit of his wife, by proving to her that the pride, both of wealth and birth, may be exceeded by that of poverty, he performed with marked talent and effect; and displayed admirably the high-toned gentleman, when he assured her that, as she had found him her equal in pride, she shall also acknowledge he is her equal in generosity. Crepin, the cobbler, (Mr. Ballanton) was an admirable piece of comic acting; very forcible and humorous, and without a tinge of vulgarity or exaggeration. Madame Hortense, the rich widow, was very well rendered by Miss Mary Middlesex, who has gained many laurels on the Shanghai boards. The character was a difficult one for an imaginary lady to render; but it was done justice to, and in many points, great talent was exhibited. Cecile, her niece, was rendered charmingly by Miss Lucy Vernon, who has a most wonderful power of performing female roles; every look and gesture being natural, telling, and giving evidence that she enters into the soul of the character she personifies. The Visconte de Millefleurs (Mr. P. Saily) was good, but was perhaps a shade overdrawn. Rodolphe acted well towards the latter part of the play, but somewhat wanted fire and 'go' at the commencement. On the whole, the piece went off very well, and did great credit to all concerned.\n\n\"The play given by the Amateurs of the German Club 'Concordia,' 'Benjamin in search of his Father,' was a humorous farce in one act, which was very effectively rendered. The servants of Tiberius Zander take the opportunity of the absence of their master and mistress to\n\n(19)\n\n \nPage 39 is not related to the text and is likely a page number indicator, so it is left as is.\n\nسلطان and ཀ། are not related to the text and appear to be artifacts or text from a different language/script, so they are left as is.\n\n \nThe corrected text is formatted in HTML as requested.",

In order to get rid of him, Auguste (Freulein Feldman) tells him that his father is dead, and, on the old gentleman's suddenly returning, Auguste informs the father that news has been received that his son has died in Paris. There is a by-plot in which Shwisbusser, who passes himself off as the son, appears on the scene, and produces considerable amusement by making love, much to old Zander's delight, to his adopted daughter Pauline, and gives a capital comic song. The mistake resulting from Auguste's stories lead to innumerable comical incidents, as may easily be conceived, the upshot being that the father and son meet in a dark room and each mistakes the other for a ghost, old Zander fainting upon the spot. Of course, the whole affair is cleared up in due time, and the piece ends in general reconciliation. Zander, the leading character, was given with great humour and cleverness, by Herr Knickebein; while Joseph, the servant, was full of intense fun, and brought down great applause by an admirable comic song. Benjamin was the silly loutish son to a point; and little Auguste made the audience forgive her for her white lies by her charming sprightliness and pleasantry. Charlotte and Pauline also deserve a word of praise; while Madame Zander (Frau Porchheimer) acted the stately middle-aged lady to perfection. The other characters were also well given; and, as is always the case with German actors, the by-play was very good.\n\nThe Prince stayed to the end, and entered thoroughly into the spirit of the evening, repeatedly joining, in the most hearty and gracious manner, in the applause which greeted the best part of the acting. On leaving, he was vociferously cheered.\n\n40",

VON GUMPACHI.\n\nThis appeal from Her Majesty's Court for China and Japan came on for hearing, and presented some remarkable features. The appellant is a British subject, and occupies an important position in the service of the Emperor of China as inspector-general of customs.\n\nThe respondent is a naturalised British subject, and is an astronomer and mathematician. Both met in London in August, 1866, and it was alleged that Hart represented to Von Gumpach that he was entrusted with the formation of a college and observatory at Peking, which college was to be an institution for the teaching to the Chinese of Western sciences and learning, \"with a view to the regeneration of China,\" and that he was to procure a library and appoint professors.\n\nIn consequence of these alleged representations, Von Gumpach went to China, and his salary was to be £600 a year. He alleged that there was no such institution, and that he was willing to discharge the duties of his appointment.\n\nHe alleged that Hart represented to the Tsang-li Yamen, or Foreign Board, that he had absented himself, and he received an intimation from the Chinese Government that his services were no longer required; and since the 30th September, 1868, he had been unable to obtain any salary.\n\nHe brought his action against Hart in Her Majesty's Court, and claimed £3,000 as compensation besides his salary.\n\nThe cause was tried before a jury, and they gave £1,800 as damages and 176 taels for money payable to Von Gumpach.\n\nThere had been a demurrer and further litigation, and one point urged for the present appellant was that these were privileged communications from him as to the office he held under the Chinese Government.\n\nThe Court, after further litigation, decided in favour of the plaintiff (the present respondent), and the defendant (the present appellant) has obtained special leave to appeal to Her Majesty in Council.\n\nHe denied the alleged misrepresentations, and stated that the Court at Peking had found in his favour as to the representations, and gave damages to Von Gumpach for the loss of his situation, and for money due on account stated.\n\nHe appealed on several grounds—that the verdict was against evidence, on misdirection, and on the privileged communications.\n\nSir John Karslake, Q.C, with whom was Mr. F. Herschell (instructed by Messrs. Murray and Hutchins), appeared for the appellant; Mr. Benjamin, Q.C., and Mr. Myburgh (instructed by Messrs. Brooks and Co., of Doctors' Commons) were for the respondent, the plaintiff in the original action.\n\nMr. Benjamin discussed the several points. He urged that the appellant was liable to the respondent for the wrongs he had committed against him.\n\nThe Chinese Government had not adopted the acts of the appellant as their servant, and therefore it was not an Act of State.\n\nIt was idle for the appellant to say that what he did was by order of the Chinese Government, and that, therefore, he was not amenable to the laws in Her Majesty's Court for China and Japan.\n\nHe cited various authorities in support of his contentions that unless a Government adopted the acts of their servant, the servant was liable, and could not shield himself under the authority of an Act of State and justify the wrong he had committed.\n\nFurther, the learned counsel submitted that Her Majesty's Treaty with the Emperor of China gave all British subjects a right to resort to the Supreme Court for redress; and it was no answer for the appellant (the original defendant) to say what he had done was as servant of the Emperor when malice was alleged against him.\n\nThe question of privilege would not go to such an extent as to shield a man from false representations, and none of the cases cited would support the points raised by the other side.\n\nMr. Myburgh followed on the same side.\n\nSir John, in reply, cited several cases in support of the view he had submitted—namely, that the original action could not be maintained, and that the demurrer ought to have been allowed.\n\nIt was not an action between two British subjects, as was contemplated by the Treaty, but an action against a Minister of China for an act done as such Minister.\n\nBoth parties had been in the service of the Emperor, and the reports made by Mr. Hart were privileged communications, and it was not by merely alleging malice that the protection extended to such documents was to be removed.\n\nThe matter was of importance, and he asked their Lordships to allow the appeal.\n\nSir Montagu Smith, on the conclusion of the arguments, announced that their Lordships would take time to consider their judgment.\n\nCOURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.\n\nIONIDES V. PENDER.\n\nThis was a case (tried last term) of some mercantile importance as to marine insurance, especially with reference to over-insurance.\n\nIt was an action on several policies of insurance, on goods, on profits, on charterparty, and of commission, amounting altogether to some thousands of pounds.\n\nThe defence set up was that there had been enormous over-insurance, and that the ship was not lost by perils of the seas, but had in reality been scuttled.\n\nThe policies were affected by a firm at Hamburg, who had chartered and loaded the ship for a commercial adventure to a port La Sineria.\n\nOn the voyage the vessel sprang a leak, and is making four inches water per hour in still water.\n\nCASUALTIES.—The Carolina (Spanish barque), from Manila to Cadiz, with tobacco, went a bore on Sandalwood Island. Sept. 15, but got off without damage, after remaining on the reef seven days.\n\nThe Hebe (ship, of Rotterdam. Meermans, from Batavia, to Rotterdam, put into Mauritius, Oct. 5, leaky, having encountered a very heavy N.E. to N.W., and S. W. gale Sept. 21st, in lat. 12 S., lon. 93 E., during which\n\nTHE LONDON AND CHINA TELEGRAPH.\n\n811\n\nNov. 18, 1872.\n\nMISCELLANEOUS.\n\nEXTRACTS FROM MEDHURST'S \"FOREIGNER IN FAR CATHAY.\"\n\nAfter what I wrote in my last letter of the negotiations between the commissioners of the two legislative bodies of this city having been broken off because they could not come to an agreement on the vexed question of the Bank Valuta, your readers will no doubt be greatly surprised to hear that, after all, the affair has been finally set at rest and disposed of by a compromise, both sides having given way to a certain extent.\n\nThe draft of the Bill sent by the Senate to the Burgerschaft, but rejected by them, served as a sufficient basis for a rapprochement, and as both parties were agreed in principle, and only differed on certain, though important, points, the door was again opened for discussion.\n\nAn abstract of the amended Bill as agreed to is as follows :--\n\nLaw for the Alteration of the Hamburg Bank Valuta.\n\nArt. 1. Closing of the Accounts based on Silver Bars.—The date is fixed for the 15th Feb., 1879, the Burgerschaft originally wishing it to take place within eight days, and the Senate inclined to keep them open for six months longer.\n\nAfter the above date the balances of accounts can only be repaid in silver bars.\n\nArt. 3. Denomination of Payments in the New Currency made through the Bank.—In all agreements and contracts where payment is stipulated to be made through the Bank, it is required to write after the amount the letters B.Z., which stands for Bank Zahlung, or Bank payment.\n\nI have dwelt thus much upon the characteristics of the servants employed by foreigners, not only to show how they fare in this particular, but because these servants are the only natives with whom the foreign merchant comes more immediately into contact.\n\nThe opinion prevalent at home that foreigners mingle in Chinese society generally is altogether a mistaken one.\n\nThe conventional rules of the Chinese are so constituted, and their habits of thought and customs so peculiar, that there is little or no encouragement to court acquaintance on either part, even were the entire ignorance of each other's language not to present a serious bar in the way of an interchange of ideas.\n\nThere is a class of Chinese brokers and middle men who haunt the offices of the merchants, but they are mostly shrewd, clever upstarts, whom the difficulties of interlingual communication have introduced into the trade, and, with rare exceptions, they lay no claim to respectability even with the Chinese themselves.\n\nThe language employed between these brokers and the merchants is a jargon made up of English, Portuguese, Chinese, and Malay words, tortured into unrecognizable shapes and constructions, and it is little fitted to sustain any conversation beyond what appertains to the mere technicalities of trade.\n\nI have frequently expressed to our merchants the opinion that it is a pity they do not take the trouble to learn the Chinese language.\n\nIt is an acquirement in the spoken form to an extent sufficient for all practical purposes; offers no difficulties that an average intellect and a moderate share of determination cannot surmount, and familiarity with it would have the effect of freeing the foreigner from the domination of roguish brokers and compradores, at whose mercy he now lies, whilst it would open the way to a more extended acquaintance and friendly intercourse to the mutual advantage of both parties.\n\nThere is perhaps no country in the world frequented by the English-speaking race in which merchants are so lamentably ignorant of the customs and resources of the locality in which they live as they are at this moment in China, and this is entirely to be attributed to a want of familiarity with the language.\n\nTHE SUEZ CANAL.\n\nThe Suez Canal Company will continue to insist upon its recent advance of tolls, and declares that it will appeal to the decision of the Government.\n\nThe Ottoman Porte has protested, by order of the Sultan, against the competency of the Tribunal de Commerce de la Seine to interpret the Act of Concession of the Canal—a power which belongs to itself alone.\n\nThe Turkish Government also maintains that, the company being an Egyptian association, subject to the Ottoman jurisdiction, and having its headquarters at Alexandria, cannot admit a foreign jurisdiction in respect to its differences with third parties.\n\nThere is some idea of inviting the Marine Powers to hold a conference at Constantinople, in order to agree upon a uniform system for the measurement of tonnage.\n\nForeign Intelligence.\n\nGERMANY.\n\n(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)\n\nHAMBURG, Nov. 12.\n\nArt. 4. Belehnungen (or advances on deposits).—After the close of the silver accounts the Bank is authorised to receive as deposits the foreign coin hitherto accepted, as well as gold and silver bars, and credit the depositors for the amount in the new currency, according to the regulations drawn up by the administrators of the Bank and having been approved of by the Senate.\n\nArt. 5. Deferred fulfilment of obligations to pay in Banco.—After the closing of the silver accounts, all still outstanding engagements in Hamburg banco or in species banco, whatever may be the period of their origin and the nature of the claim, must be settled by Bank payment in Imperial gold coin, or in double or single silver thalers of German mintage, at the fixed rate of 150 marks new currency for 100 marks banco, with an agio of 18 per mille for species banco.\n\nBills of exchange falling due on the 15th of February, but not presented for payment till after that date, are to be calculated at the officially quoted price of silver on the day of their maturity.\n\nArt. 6. Transitory Regulations.—During the period of transition, viz., from the date of the opening of the accounts in the new Imperial currency till the 15th of May, 1873, creditors of the Bank may have the amount of their balance in Banco transferred, partly or entirely, to their account in the new currency at the fixed rate of 145 marks Imperial currency for 100 marks Banco, as such transfers are to be considered as Belehnungen, or advances on deposits.\n\nThe sum thus transferred may, at any time during the period of transition, be re-transferred to the silver account of the owner; but all such re-transfers must be made before the expiration of the period of transition, in default of which the Bank is authorised to realise the silver for account of the proprietor.\n\nDuring the period of transition only those who have paid in gold coin or silver thalers are at liberty to withdraw their balances in the same money.\n\nDuring the period of transition no charge will be made by the Bank on Imperial gold coin or silver thalers paid in or taken out.\n\nThe publication of this new law will take place in the course of this week, and the date to be fixed for the opening of the accounts in the new Imperial German currency is expected to be the 15th inst.\n\nBut this arrangement has no effect on cash payments made in Hamburg and Lubeck currency, which retain their value as hitherto, till a sufficiency of the new money is coined, which, as the minting operations proceed but slowly, may be deferred for two or three years longer.\n\nIt will be seen by the above that the Bergerschaft have abandoned one of the principal points on which they were at issue with the Senate, and that is that the loss sustained by the conversion of Banco into new currency, the agio on silver being at present rather more than one per cent. above par, should be borne by the State.\n\nAs it now stands everyone who has Banco will only get 150 marks new currency for every 100 marks Banco, and must bear the loss himself.\n\nThe sharp and somewhat bitter remarks made by certain organs of the press in England respecting the award of the Emperor of Germany in his capacity of Arbitrator in the Anglo-American dispute about the San Juan question have found a responsive echo at Berlin; and if these counter remarks have not been translated and reprinted in the English papers, it is perhaps owing to the editors remaining reticent, not to aggravate and increase the ill-feeling between the two countries.\n\nOne of your contemporaries says that the award is remarkable for being written in the German language, instead of the customary diplomatic French\" to which the Germans reply that this is an exploded idea, quite out of date; that the despatches of the German Government—railway companies have received instructions to discontinue, from December 1, the eddies hitherto praised to emigrants, of a reduction in the fares—amounting in some instances to 50 per cent.—and double allowance of luggage (100 lb. per head).\n\nThe number of emigrants that passed through this city to the end of October, 1871, is officially stated to be 37,324 persons, whilst at the same period this year it has risen to 65,151, and before the end of the year will no doubt have reached 80,000.\n\nDr. Hilgendorf, a native of this city, and formerly director of the Hamburg Zoological Gardens, and now professor at the Royal Polytechnic at Dresden, has received a call to go to Japan to prepare young natives for their subsequent studies of medicine at German universities.\n\nA considerable number of Japanese are now studying at Berlin, Leipzig, and Heidelberg.",

Restelt, Esq., at Majorly's Comal- at Manila at whose suggestion I make this application to you.\n\nI have H. Sigurd JJ. W. Field \n(True Copy) \nActing Colonial Secretary \nHONGKONG} TO WIT.\n\n3, JAMES BENJAMIN FIELD, at present residing at Victoria in the Colony of Hongkong, Trader, do solemnly and sincerely declare and say as follows:\n\n1. I am a British subject, having been born of British Parents in the town of Louisburg in the County of Mayo in Ireland and I have at no time since changed my nationality.\n\n2. In the month of July, One Thousand Eight Hundred and Seventy Three, I chartered the German Brig \"Maria Louise\" for the purpose of proceeding with her on a trading voyage to the Sulu Seas, Borneo, the Straits Settlements, and Singapore.\n\n3. I loaded the said Brig with a cargo of General Merchandise suitable for sale or barter at the said places, and the said vessel sailed therewith from Hongkong on or about the 14th day of July 1873 for the Sulu Islands, I being then on board of her as supercargo, having first lawfully cleared from Hongkong aforesaid.\n\n4. On or about the Sixteenth day of August One Thousand Eight Hundred and Seventy Three, the said Brig \"Maria Louise,\" whilst in the course of her said voyage, was unlawfully seized in the Sulu Seas by a Spanish man-of-war, the officer in charge of which arrested and made me a prisoner and detained me on board the said man-of-war, and after a month of such detention, I was towed by a Spanish man-of-war to Cavite, in the Island of Luzon, one of the Philippines, where I was transferred to the said \"Maria Louise\" and detained on board of her in close confinement, guarded by Spanish Soldiers armed with Rifles and fixed bayonets.\n\n5. Whilst under such confinement, I was supplied with very coarse and inferior food, wholly unsuited to my constitution, and I was not permitted to communicate by letter or otherwise with my friends or the British Consul of Manila or to take exercise, in consequence of which my health was seriously injured, and I was otherwise put to great trouble, loss, and inconvenience.\n\n6. Whilst I was under arrest at Cavite aforesaid, I was refused permission to communicate with Her Britannic Majesty's Consul at Manila or the German Consul of that place (Manila being the nearest Consular port from Cavite), which I repeatedly asked for, and during the time I was so illegally confined, I have been informed that a so-called Court of Enquiry into my case, consisting of Spanish Naval Officers, was held by the Spanish Authorities at Cavite, but I was not present at such enquiry, nor was the British or German Consul present thereat, and my health having suffered and my life endangered by such confinement, and being apprehensive also for my life from the hostile and menacing attitude assumed towards me by the Spanish Authorities, I made my escape on or about the 10th day of October 1873, having been over six weeks illegally kept a prisoner. On effecting my escape, I proceeded to Manila, a distance of ten miles, where I sought for and obtained the protection of OSWALD COATES, ESQ., Her Britannic Majesty's acting Consul, under whose protection and hospitality I remained until I left Manila for Hongkong as hereinafter mentioned.\n\n7. On being taken prisoner by the Spanish Authorities as hereinbefore mentioned, all my property, as well as the cargo on board the said vessel \"Maria Louise,\" as my personal effects, were seized and detained by the said Authorities, and the same has never since been restored to me.\n\n8. Shortly after my arrival at the British Consulate at Manila, the Captain General of the Philippine Islands threatened to take me out of the Consulate and have me summarily executed, and being in dread of the fulfilment of such threat and otherwise in fear of molestation by the Spanish Authorities, I was obliged to remain within the Consular premises, where I remained virtually a prisoner for five weeks, a detachment of soldiers, as hereinafter mentioned, having been kept all that time by the Spanish Authorities near the Consulate to prevent me from escaping.\n\n9. After the expiration of the period of five weeks, through the exertions of Her Majesty's Consul, I obtained permission to go at large when I went to reside in the Hotel at Manila.\n\n10. Shortly after I had so removed to the Hotel, being desirous of leaving Manila, I applied to the Spanish Authorities through the British Consul for a passport to leave the country, but was refused such passport.\n\n11. Not having any means of support whilst in Manila, everything that I possessed having been so taken from me by the Spanish Authorities as hereinbefore mentioned, I applied to the said Authorities for pecuniary assistance to enable me to proceed to Hongkong, which they refused.",

H. W. Marsh, Colonial Secretary, and Mrs. Marsh\n- The Hon. I. B. Gibb\n- Colonel Moaby, U.S. Consul, Hongkong\n- Mr. Lincoln, U.S. Consul at Canton, and Mrs. Lincoln\n- Surgeon-Major Hungerford\n- Rev. R. Bayward Kidd, Colonial Chaplain, and Mrs. Kidd\n- Dr. Frederick Stewart\n- Captain Muskett, Army Pay Department\n\nThe following programme was played during dinner:\n\n1. Grand March, **David** \n2. Overture, **Absalom**, Longhurst\n3. Selection, **Das Nachtlager Kreutzer**\n4. Valse, **Kübezahll**, Flotow\n5. Selection, **in Granada**, ... Coote\n6. Polka, **Telephone**, Werner\n\nAfter the toast of **\"Her Majesty the Queen,\"** which was duly honoured in the usual way, the band playing **\"God Save the Queen,\"** His Excellency said:\n\nThe Governor of this Colony has from time to time had the privilege of welcoming, in the name of the whole community, distinguished visitors. One of the children of our Queen has been residing in this house, and my immediate predecessor entertained here a son of the Emperor of Russia. But I believe the young princes would be themselves among the first to say that the man whose health I am now about to propose, is the most illustrious guest that ever sat at this table. I do not refer so much to the military achievements which will for ever rank the name of Ulysses Grant with those of Washington, Wellington, and Napoleon, but to those other achievements, indicated by Lord Beaconsfield, when he truly said that the future of civilization is indissolubly bound up in the future of the United States - those other achievements, accomplished by the toleration, resolute strength, and love of justice of the statesman, when the sword of the soldier was laid aside.\n\nTwo years have gone since he first saw, at Yok harbour, the shores of the British Empire. During that time he has visited the Old World, breathed the Scotch air of his ancestors, and passed on from point to point of Queen Victoria's dominions; and now, on leaving this Island and crossing the Pacific to his own home, he is about to part with that Empire throughout the whole of which he has been received with one long ovation of respect and affection. As the Queen's representative, and in the name of every one in this Colony, I thank him for giving us this opportunity of showing him that we all appreciate his character and career.\n\nWill you forgive me, ladies and gentlemen, if I presume to add that there are one or two personal reasons also why it affords me peculiar pleasure to see General Grant at my table. During the whole of those ever-memorable years, from the day when he drilled his company of volunteers at Galena, to the capture of Richmond and the surrender of the rebel army, I was in a small way mixed up in public affairs in England, as a member of that assembly the power of which, for good or evil, is not confined within the bounds of England's Sovereignty. It is now a matter of history that in both Houses of the British Parliament there were friends and foes of Freedom, but we may recall with pride the fact that two men so diverse in person and disposition and party relations as John Bright and Benjamin Disraeli, were sagacious enough to know that the honour of their own Country and the welfare of the World were associated with the cause for which Ulysses Grant was contending.\n\nWhilst Bright was repairing the blunders of one or two eminent men of the Liberal party, the great Conservative Chief was, to my own personal knowledge, labouring night and day to counteract unreasoning prejudice amongst his own followers, and it is ever to me a source of intense satisfaction that, though in a very humble way no doubt, I was one of those members of the House of Commons who loyally supported his prudent and patriotic policy.\n\nBut this is not the only personal reason that is present to my mind to-night. I am a citizen of Cork. I come from that corner of the Old World, nearest, and not less dear, to the United States; and on behalf of my fellow citizens I now assure General Grant that in no part of the civilized globe would he have received a heartier welcome, if he had honoured us with a visit, than in my native city.\n\nI now invite you to drink his health, and will ask you not to forget the charming lady at my right, and her family; for, within the last few minutes, a telegram has reached them from London, announcing the birth of a grand-child, so that General Grant, though still comparatively a young man, younger indeed to-day than Washington when he first became President, has, as a grandfather, added another little link to unite the two countries together. I give you, with all my heart, the health of General Grant.\n\nGeneral Grant, in reply, said:\n\nI am very grateful to you for your kind address, to which I would be happy to respond, but there is so much personal and flattering to myself that I find it impossible. It is only a continuance of the kindness that I have... \n\nPage 334",

        "content_text": "# MATERIALS FOR A HISTORY OF EDUCATION IN HONGKONG.\n\nEnglish instructress. The Government immediately placed one of the houses in Albany Terrace at the disposal of the Committee, and the Diocesan School was forthwith temporarily located there under Miss Wilson.\n\n## 1860\n\nIt is not a little remarkable that, immediately upon the revival of educational activity among the Protestant Missions, which characterized the close of the preceding year, the educational movement among the Catholic Missions also made a fresh start in the year 1860, displaying a sudden and quite extraordinary energy. The R.C. Society de Propaganda Fide commenced, in September 1860, an English Boys School in Staunton Street, under a Mr. Rowland, who had an average of 25 boys under instruction, at a cost of $960 to the Mission. This institution furnishes the first recorded example of a School enjoying exemption from payment of police and lighting taxes. The Propaganda Society started at the same time a Portuguese Boys School, in Staunton Street, under the tuition of Mr. Vincento Pereira, at a cost of $600. This School, likewise exempted from payment of rates and taxes, was attended by 35 Portuguese boys. To provide for Chinese Catholic youths, the same Society now re-opened also a Chinese Boys School in Wellington Street, taught by Jacobus Leang, and attended by 30 boys, at a cost of $141. In May, 1860, the Italian Sisters of the Convent in Caine Road started (with the assistance of Miss Bowring) three Girls' Schools in Caine Road at an expense of $2,400, viz., an English Girls School with 22 girls under Sister Aloysia, a Portuguese Girls School with 32 girls under Sister Giovannina, and a Chinese Girls School with 30 girls under Sisters Rachèle and Magdalena Fan, and further the Italian Sisters started in Spring Gardens (Queen's Road East) a Chinese Girls School with 22 girls under Sister Cecilia Leang, the latter School costing the Italian Mission $144. The French Sisters, of the Asile de la Sainte Enfance in Spring Gardens, also revived now their former Schools, viz., a Chinese Girls' School, bringing together 30 children under the instruction of Sister Benjamin, and a Chinese Boys' School with 14 boys under Mr. Joseph Lee. These two Schools cost the French Mission $384. The two Seminaries, formerly established, were now likewise revived. The Italian Mission re-opened their Seminary now in Pottinger Street, placing 12 students under the tuition of Fathers T. Raimondi (the present Bishop), J. Borgazzi, and G. Favini, and giving them a theological training in Latin, at an expense to the Propaganda Society of $600. The French Mission des Étrangères, at the same time re-opened their Ecclesiastical School at Soo-koup-ed under Père J. Jacquemin, with 20 students, at a cost of $840. Moreover, the Propaganda Society opened a Chinese School at Aberdeen, under Mr. Stephanus Chu, at a cost of $96.\n\nThis extraordinary revival of the Roman Catholic educational movement, though stimulated no doubt by the reviving energy of the Protestant Mission, is, however, principally due to the educational zeal and energy which ever distinguished the newly arrived Father (since Bishop) Raimondi, who at once occupied among Catholic Educationists about the same prominent and fruitful position which Dr. Legge, whom he much resembled also in character and shrewdness, occupied among the Protestants. Bishop Raimondi, however, has remained at the head of Catholic education ever since his arrival (in 1858), whilst Dr. Legge retired from the scene a few years after the establishment of his chef d'oeuvre in education, the Government Central School, which at this very time Dr. Legge had already designed in outline.\n\nAt the beginning of the year 1860 (January 21st), the Government Gazette announced the formation of a new and stronger **Board of Education** for the management of the Government Schools. We have no records showing how Dr. Legge's objections were overcome, but Dr. Legge did join this new Board, although the presidency of it was placed in the hands of Bishop Smith. The probability is that Dr. Legge had reason to expect that Sir Hercules Robinson, the new Governor, would eventually support his scheme of an entire re-organisation of the Government Schools. The other members of the new Board were the Rev. J.J. Irwin, Rev. W. Beach, and Messrs. J.J. Mackenzie, W.C. Robinson, and W.S. Bridges (Secretary). In a letter addressed to Bishop Smith, the Colonial Secretary defined the powers of the Board as including, besides the general supervision and control of all Government Schools throughout the Island, the appointment, transfer, suspension, and dismissal of Schoolmasters and the fixing of their salaries. The meetings of the Board were to be held in the Council-room. The Board were to appoint their own Secretary, but the appointment of the Inspector of Schools was to rest with the Governor. The Inspector was to report to the Board, but both he and the teachers had an appeal to the Governor. The proceedings of the Board, which were at all times to be subject to the veto of the Governor, were to be regularly reported to the Colonial Secretary. At the first meeting of this new Board (24th January, 1860), Mr. Lobscheid tendered his resignation, and the Board, after communicating with the Governor, was at once requested to recommend a successor. But at their next meeting (7th February, 1860), the Board, on receiving from Mr. Lobscheid a promise to recognize the Board's supreme authority, recommended that Mr. Lobscheid be re-appointed from 1st February. Mr. Lobscheid resumed his labours and continued them, though not without some friction, until the end of June, when he resigned finally, and the Board recommended that his resignation be accepted, but made no suggestion as to the appointment of a successor. The reason was that Dr. Legge now had matured his new scheme of merging the Inspectorate of Schools in the Headmastership of a grand Central School, which was to become the centre of the whole educational movement of Hongkong and to deliver the Government Schools from the bondage of St. Paul's College and its Bishop. Immediately after the Inspector's resignation had taken effect (1st July, 1860), Dr. Legge orally explained at a meeting of the Board (3rd July, 1860) his plan for the establishment of a Central School in the City of Victoria, to combine several at present separate Schools, involving an increase of expenditure estimated at £250. The Board at once resolved that Dr. Legge should be invited to reduce his plan to writing, and on 6th September, 1860, the Board, having received a written statement of what was henceforth popularly known as 'Dr. Legge's Plan,' unanimously resolved that Dr. Legge's suggestions be approved and that the document be forwarded to the Colonial Secretary for submission to the Governor with their cordial recommendation and an earnest request for pecuniary aid in carrying out the Plan. It may be noted, as explaining the easy success which Dr. Legge gained in the Board, that from after 24th January, 1860, until 7th January, 1862, Bishop Smith (being probably absent from the Colony) did not attend a single meeting of the Board of which he had been nominated President on 20th January, 1860. Dr. Legge, with his force of character and superiority of scholastic knowledge, practically ruled the Board with the ease and grace of a born Bishop. His Great Plan was subsequently condensed by himself in the following statements: (1) that several of the Schools should be collected in one large Central Institution where there should be accommodation for 400 pupils who should be taught their own language and the rudiments of English as hitherto; (2) that, instead of an Inspector, the Institution should be under the charge of a Headmaster who should reside in it and have all the native masters immediately under his eye; (3) that from the pupils who were taught English, the Headmaster should...",

This plan, admirable in its conception of a Model School to form the centre of the educational system of Hongkong, placed the Headmaster and Inspector of Schools, who was at the same time a Government Officer, in the same hybrid relation to the Government and to a fluctuating and internally dissentient Board of private educationists, which had made Mr. Ibscheid's position one of constant friction and which, in this case also, was bound to come to a speedy termination. The announcement of Dr. Legge's plan was the death-knell of St. Andrew's School. It was closed at the end of the year 1860, during which it had been taught by Mr. J. Kemp and attended by 70 boys. Mr. Kemp had adopted the Madras system of monitorial teaching and obtained good results. He reported the School to be increasing in favour among the Chinese population. Nevertheless, Dr. Legge's popular plan put the extinguisher on St. Andrew's School. Out of its ashes arose that phoenix of the Government Central School which now bears the prouder name of Victoria College.\n\nIn reporting on the Government Schools for the year 1860, the Committee announced the sanguine expectation, which has ever since been connected with the Central School and Victoria College, that some day the Schools of Hongkong will exercise an important influence on the system of education pursued in the Schools of China itself. Meanwhile, these Hongkong Government Schools, now 30 in number, and attended by 902 boys and 46 girls, had but an imperfect organization, and the method of teaching followed in the Schools was a strange medley of Chinese and European and latterly of religious and secular principles. The Committee actually reported that the monitorial system had been adopted in the smaller Schools. Even the sphere to be allotted to English instruction, in relation to Chinese studies, with a view to obtaining decent results in both languages—which is the real crux, still unsolved, of the educational problem of Hongkong—was not defined yet. The Committee expressed in this report a vague desire that education in English should enter more largely into the conduct of the principal Schools than it has yet done. The Government spent, during the year 1860, a total of $6725 on education.\n\n## 1861\n\nThe revival of Voluntary Schools, which had so suddenly set in with the year 1860, continued during the year 1861. St. Paul's College received a new lease of life, as a School, by the arrival of a new tutor, Mr. J. Fryer, now the well-known Translator of scientific works at Kiangnan Arsenal. He had 4 Chinese assistant teachers under him and 44 boys under instruction. The expenses of the School amounted to $4000. The Girls School, opened by Bishop Smith in 1860, was now, on the arrival of the instructress, Miss Eaton, re-organized under the name of the Diocesan Native Female Training School, beginning with 17 Chinese girls, temporarily located at the Albany. The Government having granted a building site (that of the present Diocesan School), a local Ladies Committee, under the presidency of Mrs. Smith, raised funds by local subscriptions and a good-sized building was erected. As the instructress was sent out and maintained, independently of the local Committee, by the London Society for the Promotion of Female Education in the East, which now for the first time entered upon its long-continued educational labours in Hongkong, there was a divided control which naturally did not augur much success.\n\nAnother new educational agency, unfortunately but of a few years' duration but to the present day living in the memory of many, appeared on the scene in the person of Miss Baxter. Being possessed of independent means, Miss Baxter started on her own account, but in connection with the above-mentioned Female Education Society, most useful Christian work among the women and children of Hongkong. No class of people in need of education, help, or comfort, escaped Miss Baxter's observation and energetic helpfulness. The wives and children of the soldiers of the garrison in town and at Stanley (where they were ruthlessly decimated by malarial fever), Chinese women and girls of all classes, and most especially the Eurasian children of the Colony, then more numerous and more neglected than at present, were the principal objects of Miss Baxter's unwearied ministrations, by regular house-to-house visits, on the principle of Indian Zenana work. In addition to these labours, Miss Baxter started in 1861, at Ashton Buildings, a Chinese Day School with 2 Chinese teachers, and a Boarding School for Chinese and Eurasian girls (commencing with 8 Chinese girls and 5 Eurasian orphans). At the same time, Miss Magrath, unconnected with any Society, started, with the aid of local donations, an Anglo-Chinese Boarding School, with 6 boys and 10 girls, at Mosque Terrace. Miss Legge continued the re-opened Anglo-Chinese Girls School of the London Mission, under Mrs. Kwan Amni and a Chinese teacher, the School being reported as intended for the daughters of native church members. It cost $205. Finally, two German Ladies of the Berlin Foundling House commenced, in their institution, a School with 13 children costing $144.\n\nAs to the R. C. Mission Schools, the work re-commenced in 1860 was continued in the year 1861. Mr. Rowland gave an English education to 30 boys in the R. C. Boys School in Wellington Street, which cost the Propaganda Society $900. In the same Street, Mr. Vincento Pereira gave a European education in the Portuguese language to 25 boys, also at a cost of $960, and Mr. Leung gave to 90 boys an ordinary Chinese education at a cost of $141. At Spring Gardens, Mr. Vincent Uen (under the direction of the Propaganda Society) taught a Chinese School of 35 boys at a cost of $192, and at Aberdeen, Mr. Stephanus Chú, of the same Society, taught 18 Chinese boys at a cost of $144. In the Seminary in Pottinger Street, eleven students of theology were under the instruction of Fathers G. Favini, J. Borgozzi, and Peter Leang, at a cost of $600. The Sookonpoo Theological School under Father J. Jaquemin had 10 students and cost $480. The Sisters of the Italian Convent, continuing the good work which they had commenced in 1860, had 20 girls receiving an English education under Sister Aloysia, 28 girls receiving a European education in the Portuguese language under Sister Giovannina, and 35 girls receiving a Chinese education under Sister Giuseppina. At Spring Gardens, the Italian Sisters continued their Chinese Girls-School, attended by 30 children under Sister Cecilia Leang, at a cost of $144. The Sisters of the Asile de la Sainte Enfance had, at Spring Gardens, a Chinese Girls School, attended by 34 children, under Sister Benjamin. This School cost $240. There was also a Boys School, attended by 15 Chinese boys under Mr. Joseph Lee, which cost the French Sisters $120.\n\nEarly in the year (9th January, 1861), the Government informed the Board of Education that the Governor (Sir Hercules Robinson) approved of Dr. Legge's Plan and acceded to the recommendation, agreed to by the Board, to place all the Government Schools under the superintendence and inspection of the Headmaster to be placed in charge of the proposed Central School. At the same time, the Government authorized the Board to find a gentleman suited to the post. Dr. Bridges and Dr. Irwin having...",

        "content_text": "# MATERIALS FOR A HISTORY OF EDUCATION IN HONGKONG.\n\nThe Board of Education, having undergone changes in its membership due to resignations and absences, now consisted of the Colonial Secretary, the Hon. W. T. Mercer (president), the Hon. A. Fletcher, M.L.C., Rev. W. R. Beach, the Rev. Dr. Legge, and Mr. W. Robinson (Secretary). The latter was soon succeeded by Mr. J. C. Power. At the request of the Board, Dr. Legge drafted a circular letter, which was forwarded (10th April, 1861) to the Registrar of London University and to the Principals of the Universities of Edinburgh and Aberdeen, requesting each of them to recommend to Bishop Smith (then in England) two gentlemen likely to occupy efficiently the position of Headmaster Principal in the proposed Central School. Bishop Smith was authorized to select from the candidates thus recommended the individual most likely to give satisfaction. The circular described the Government Schools, noting that \"they are not religious Schools, but the sacred Scriptures in Chinese are used as a class book.\" Dr. Legge's characteristic sentences in the circular included: \"The Headmaster will be expected to acquire the Chinese language, without a knowledge of which he cannot fill the situation efficiently. Under the right man, the Institution will not only benefit the Chinese population of this Colony but tell powerfully on the enlightenment and progress of the adjoining Continent.\"\n\nOn 25th March, 1861, Dr. Legge's Plan was submitted to the Legislative Council, which approved it and authorized the purchase of premises for the proposed Government Central School in Gough Street for $20,000 and the erection of an additional building on the same site.\n\nThe Board of Education had abandoned its former, decidedly religious, principles of education and adopted secular principles. This is evident not only from the circular letter but also from the fact that the Board resolved (2nd April, 1861) that the Bishop's Diocesan Girls School, a Christian School and constituted differently from the Government Schools, could not remain under the Board's superintendence. The Rev. W. R. Beach resigned his seat on the Board (3rd September, 1861), and a merchant, Mr. J. J. Mackenzie, took his place. As the Colonial Secretary ceased to attend the Board's meetings around the same time, Dr. Legge was appointed Chairman. Before the close of the year, the Board received (3rd December, 1861) information from the Bishop that he had selected Mr. F. Stewart, M.A., for the Headmastership of the Government Schools.\n\nIn their report for the year 1861, the Committee stated that Dr. Legge had inspected the Schools in the absence of a regular Inspector and reported favorably on attendance and teachers, but the report gave no statistics.\n\n## 1862\n\nSt. Paul's College School, under Mr. J. Fryer, assisted by 4 Chinese teachers, received English boys during 1862, teaching them together with Chinese boys. There were 44 boys in average attendance, and the School cost $4000. The Diocesan Female Training School, under Miss Eaton, continued in the Albany, rent-free, with an average attendance of 17 girls, at a cost of $2043. Miss Baxter continued her Chinese Day School in Ashton Buildings with 20 children and a Chinese-Eurasian Boarding School in Mosque Terrace with 13 children, costing $125 and $625, respectively. Miss Mugrath's European Day School in Mosque Gardens had 16 children, and Miss Legge's Anglo-Chinese School had 12 children. The Berlin Foundling House had 13 children attending school. St. Andrew's School, having closed at the end of the previous year, disappeared from the records.\n\nThe Roman Catholic Schools included: Mr. Rowland's B.C. English Boys School in Wellington Street with 30 boys at a cost of $960; Mr. Pereira's R.C. Portuguese School with 35 boys at the same cost; and Mr. Maurus Leong's R.C. Chinese School with 30 Chinese boys at a cost of $144. The Propaganda Society also ran a Chinese School in Spring Gardens with 35 boys under Mr. Vincent Uen at a cost of $192, and another in Aberdeen with 18 boys under Mr. Stephanus Chu at a cost of $144. The Ecclesiastical School of the French Mission had 10 students under Père Jaqueminet at a cost of $489. The Italian Convent had 20 girls in their English School, 28 girls in their Portuguese School, and 35 girls in their Chinese School, costing $2400. Their Chinese Girls School at Spring Gardens had 30 children at a cost of $144. The Asile de la Sainte Enfance had 34 girls and 15 Chinese boys under Sister Benjamin and Mr. Joseph Lee, respectively, costing $360.\n\nThe great event of the year for Government Schools was the arrival (18th February, 1862) of the new Headmaster, Mr. (later Dr.) Stewart, who established the reign of secularism in local education. He exercised a beneficial influence on hundreds of Chinese youths through his strict discipline and noble character. The Central School became highly popular and the ideal of the community under his leadership.\n\nBefore Dr. Stewart's arrival, Dr. Legge and Mr. J. J. Mackenzie had amalgamated four Government Schools into one Central School at Gough Street. The question of its permanent organization and admission principles was solved by Mr. Mackenzie's Memorandum (3rd June, 1862), which was accepted by the Board (8th October, 1862) with slight modifications. The Regulations for the Government Schools in Hongkong excluded rudimentary Chinese teaching from the Central School, admitting Chinese scholars only after a test examination.\n\nPage 188\nPage 26\nPage 27\nPage 382",

        "content_text": "83 \n\ntaken by Consul Bedloe to serve the subpoena on him and that he had gone to Manila and I considered that the U.S. Government should witness as well as of the others and I stated that if the Chinese were expected to pay the expenses of these expenses I should surrender the matter into the hands of the U.S. Government, to this Consul General Goodnow replied laughing \"in that case the Government would have to pay\" and I replied \"well, that is what I shall do if the Chinese are expected to pay.\"\n\nNothing further was said as to the payment of these expenses then.\n\n11. On my return from Canton I informed Cheng Kam Chuen of what had passed and I was instructed to resist the payment of these expenses and if the payment was insisted on was to furnish the U.S. Consul General with the names of the witnesses and leave the prosecution in his hands and take no further part in the prosecution.\n\n12. On the 28th day of October 1898 my firm received a notice dated the 27th day of October 1898 in the words and figures following, that is to say:-\n\nTo  \n**Consulate of the United States of America**  \nMessrs. Mounsey & Brutton,  \nHongkong.\n\nCanton October, 27th 1898.\n\nWhereas the cause of Richard Toulmin charged with wilful murder of one Cheng Lei San a subject of the Emperor of China was set down for trial at this Consular Court Canton on the 4th day of October A.D. 1898 when the Defendant filed a petition at this Consular Court in which he prays for a change of venue for a trial of his cause at Shanghai and upon hearing the objections filed in Brief by the Attorney for Prosecution on September 24th I have denied the motion for a change of venue.\n\nYou are hereby notified that the cause is further postponed till December 8th A.D. 1898 at 10 o'clock a.m, when the trial of the same will be held at the United States Consular Court Canton instead of November 4th as previously fixed.\n\nIn Witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 27th day of October A.D. 1898.\n\nL.S.  \n(Sd.)  \nH. R. WILLIAMS,  \nU.S. Vice & Acting Consul in charge. Acting Judicially.\n\n13. Subsequently to the receipt of this notice I saw H. R. Williams the U.S. Vice and Acting Consul in charge Acting Judicially and asked him who was to prosecute in the case and he informed me that I was and I naturally presumed that I was prosecuting on behalf of the U.S. Government.\n\n14. On the 1st day of December 1898, I was informed that no subpoena had been issued to Benjamin C. Randall who was one of the principal witnesses for the prosecution and on the 2nd day of December I wrote a letter to H. R. Williams Esq. requesting him to issue a subpoena for the attendance of this witness.\n\n4\n\n15. On the 8th day of December 1898 I appeared at the U.S. Consulate at Canton on the trial of the said Richard Toulmin and no mention was made by the U.S. Consul General J. Goodnow or the Vice Consul H. R. Williams of the payment of the witnesses' expenses.\n\n16. On the evening of Friday, the 9th December, after I had closed the case for the prosecution and the Court had been adjourned I was asked by H. R. Williams Esq. whether I was going to pay the expenses of the witnesses, to which I replied \"No, not unless I am obliged to,\" and he then said \"Oh, if that is all you want I will soon make an order,\" to this I objected and said that I could not pay as my client had no means and that the question should be argued out in Court.\n\n17. On Saturday the 10th December during the mid-day adjournment, John Goodnow the Consul General asked me if I was going to pay the witnesses' expenses, to which I replied, No that I should like to argue the matter out in Court. The Consul General said it was no case for argument, as the Chinese had to pay. I told him that the Chinese informant Cheng Kam Chuen had no money and could not pay, to this he replied that if he did not pay I should have to do so out of my fees, I said I could not do that and he then said, \"Well if you do not it is a question whether I shall hear you any further in the case and also whether I shall not cancel all the proceedings.\"\n\n18. After a short adjournment in the afternoon and before the Court again sat the Consul General called me up to his bench and privately asked me if I desired to cross-examine the accused who had elected to give evidence and who had then practically finished his evidence. I said I did and he then said \"Are you going to pay the fees, if not it is a question whether I shall hear you further in the case?\" To this I made no reply, I then went back to my seat.\n\n19. After a few more questions had been asked the accused by his Counsel the following took place.\n\nMr. Goodnow asked- Mr. Brutton as Attorney for the prosecutor do you wish to ask this witness any questions?\n\nMr. Brutton-As Attorney for the prosecution who has been conducting the case for the prosecution up till now I wish to cross-examine this witness. I should like to ask one or two questions with regard to the question of costs.\n\nMr. Goodnow-That does not come up just now.\n\nMr. Brutton said that as Attorney for the prosecution he did not undertake any liability with regard to the expenses of the witnesses.\n\nMr. Goodnow--Mr. Brutton, I can tell you plainly I am not going to put you out of this trial at this stage, but until this matter is settled you will not be allowed to conduct any other cases in American Consular Courts in China.\n\nMr. Brutton-Your honour has not power except in this Court unless you can show that my conduct has been unbecoming a Solicitor.\n\n20. On Monday, the 12th day of December, after the case was closed the Consul General made a few remarks on the law with regard to murder and continued as follows:-\n\n...before...\n\nThere was one other matter he and Mr. Williams wished to bring up they adjourned and that was in regard to the incident which happened there on Saturday he thought it was, Under Rule 71 of the Regulations of Consular Courts any complainant informant or prosecutor might be required to give security \n\n5",

        "content_text": "# 297 \n\n## 2 \n\nThe Plaintiff is not liable to indemnify the Defendant. Against these decisions, the Plaintiff has appealed to this Board.\n\nThe facts of the case, so far as they are material, are shortly as follows:\n\nThe Bank in question was formed and registered with limited liability under the Companies' Act 1862. Its capital was divided into shares, which were not fully paid up when it went into liquidation in December 1894. Calls have been made on the contributories, of whom the Plaintiff is one. He is a contributory in respect of fifty £10 shares. He has been sued by the liquidator for the calls made on him in respect of those shares, and judgment has been given against him for £4021. 12s. 11d., which he seeks to recover from the Defendant.\n\nThe 50 shares in question were placed in the Plaintiff's name in April 1891 by his then employers, Benjamin and Kelly, who were sharebrokers. The Plaintiff never had any beneficial interest in them; but he was registered as their holder on the 3rd April 1891. A provisional certificate of his ownership was made out, and he signed a blank transfer of them, and those two documents were held by Benjamin and Kelly, who paid the application and allotment money and first call. This certificate and transfer afterwards came into the hands of one Coxon, who acted on behalf of a syndicate formed to speculate in shares in another company. The Defendant financed this syndicate, and the provisional certificate and blank transfer of the 50 shares in question were, with other securities, pledged by Coxon with the Defendant as security for his advances.\n\nIn October 1891, the Plaintiff's provisional certificate was exchanged for an ordinary certificate, which the Defendant has ever since held. In March 1892, dividends were paid on those shares, and the Defendant, as holder of these 50 shares, demanded these dividends from the Plaintiff and received them from him. The operations of the syndicate resulted in considerable loss. Their accounts with the Defendant were closed, and in October 1892, the Defendant became the absolute owner of the shares. This, at least, is the conclusion arrived at by both Courts in Hong Kong from the entries in the Defendant's books, and there are no grounds on which this Board can come to any different conclusion.\n\nIn November 1893, a call of £1 per share was made, payable by four instalments of 5s. each. The first three of these instalments, payable in November 1893, February, and April 1894, were, at the Plaintiff's request, paid by the Defendant to the Plaintiff and by him to the Bank. The Defendant said he was not liable to pay them; and in his books, he debited the Plaintiff with those payments, but there is no evidence that the Plaintiff was informed of this. The fact that the Defendant did not at this time debit Coxon with these calls seems to their Lordships very strong evidence that, at this time, Coxon's interest in these shares was at an end, and they belonged absolutely to the Defendant.\n\nOn the 10th April 1894, the Plaintiff wrote to the Defendant asking that the shares might be transferred out of the Plaintiff's name, but the Defendant declined to get this done, and the Plaintiff said no more about it until June 1894, when the fourth instalment of 5s. in respect of the call of £1 became due. The Plaintiff then asked the Defendant to pay this instalment, and he did so, but debited the Plaintiff with the amount as before. Shortly afterwards, the Plaintiff's solicitors wrote to the Defendant and asked him to have the shares transferred out of the Plaintiff's name. But the Defendant declined, saying that the shares were lodged with him by Coxon, who was absent from the Colony.\n\n## 3 \n\nIndia",

        "content_text": "299 \n\n6 \n\nmust in equity bear the burdens incidental to its ownership and not throw such burdens on their trustees.\n\nThe short report of Balsh v. Hyham as given in 2 Eq. Ca. Al. 741 fol. 8 shows that this general rule was well recognised and that the decision was only an illustration of its application to the facts then before the Court.\n\nIt is impossible to read the judgment of Vice-Chancellor Wigram in Phené v. Gillan 5 Ha. 1 without coming to the conclusion that he also regarded the general rule as well established.\n\nThe principle acted upon in Balsh v. Hyham was reconsidered and most strikingly illustrated in the well-known case of the German Mining Company Ex parte Chippendale 4 De G. Mc and G. p. 19 where the shareholders of a mining company were held liable personally to indemnify the directors against payments made by them in discharge of debts contracted by them but which payments created no legal obligation on the company enforceable at law and could not be recovered by the directors from the company by any action at common law. The shareholders in vain contended in that case that the directors had only a right to indemnity out of the assets of the company. See page 54.\n\nWhere as in Balsh v. Hyham a trustee seeks indemnity in respect of transactions in which he need not have engaged and which were not within the scope of his trust he must prove that his cestui que trust either authorised or ratified such transactions. But if he has incurred liability within the scope of his trust and for the benefit of his cestui que trust Ex parte Chippendale shows that nothing more is required.\n\nWhen a trustee seeks indemnity from his cestui que trust against liabilities arising from the mere fact of ownership there is neither principle nor authority for saying that the trustee need prove any request from his cestui que trust to incur such liability. In the case supposed the trust involves such liabilities and the trustee whilst he remains such cannot get rid of them. He is subject to them as legal owner; but in equity they fall on the equitable owner unless there are good reasons why they should not.\n\nAs regards shares this right of a trustee to be indemnified by his cestui que trust against calls has been repeatedly recognised and enforced on the principles applicable to the equitable ownership of property, and without reference to the principles applicable to contracts or specific performance or any other legal or equitable doctrine. Nothing can be plainer or sounder than the language of Vice Chancellor James in Castellam v. Hobson L.R. 10 Eq. 47; and of Chitty, J. in Loring v. Davis 32 Ch. D. 634. James v. Way L.R. 6 Ho. Lo. 328 proceeded on the same principle. Other cases to the same effect might be cited but it is unnecessary to refer to them. No case has been found, nor as their Lordships believe can be found, which is opposed to these authorities.\n\nThe principle was recognised by Mr. Justice Fry in Hughes Hallett v. The Indian Mammoth Gold Mines Company L.R. 22 Ch. D. 561 although he there held that the application for indemnity was premature.\n\nIt is true that the facts of this case are not in all respects like those in the cases above alluded to. But although the facts are different the result of them is the same; i.e., the facts were such that the relation of trustee and cestui que trust was created. In this case the Defendant did not create the trust on which the Plaintiff originally held the shares. The Defendant had nothing to do with procuring their registration in the Plaintiff's name as trustee for Benjamin and Kelly and their assigns.\n\n14017. \n\nC \n\nIndia.",

        "content_text": "300\n\nIn this case. \n\nA feature of the case was strongly relied upon by the Defendant's Counsel as distinguishing it from those above mentioned and reliance was placed on what Lord Blackburn said in Fraser v. Murdoch L.R. 6 A.C. about makers of trusts (see p. 872) and trusts to carry on business with particular funds (see p. 875). But their Lordships can find nothing in Lord Blackburn's judgment which is inconsistent with the principles which in their Lordships' opinion govern. The fact that the Defendant did not create the trust on which the Plaintiff held the shares when they were first placed in his name affords the Defendant no defence to this action. Although the Defendant did not create the trust he accepted a transfer of the beneficial ownership in the shares first as mortgagee and afterwards as sole beneficial owner with full knowledge of the fact that they were registered in the Plaintiff's name as trustee for their original purchasers and their assigns whoever they might be. By this acceptance the Defendant became the Plaintiff's cestui que trust; and the Plaintiff could not prevent it or effectually dispute his trusteeship for the Defendant. By this acceptance the Defendant created the trust for himself. Having done so the Defendant as the beneficial owner of the shares demanded from the Plaintiff and obtained dividends declared in respect of them. The Defendant also paid calls made upon them although he attempted to protect himself from any admission of liability by entering these payments in his books as made on behalf of the Plaintiff. Lastly when asked by the Plaintiff to procure a transfer of the shares out of the Plaintiff's name the Defendant refused to do so and thereby compelled the Plaintiff to continue to hold them as his trustee.\n\nIt is idle after this to rely on the fact that the Defendant did not create the trust in the first instance; and idle to talk of renunciation or disclaimer of these shares by the Defendant. He cannot now get rid of the trust for himself which he created by becoming beneficial owner of the shares and which trust he has recognised since as subsisting.\n\nIt is quite unnecessary to consider in this case the difficulties which would arise if these shares were held by the Plaintiff on trust for tenants for life or for infants or upon special trusts limiting the right to indemnity. In those cases there is no beneficiary who can be justly expected or required personally to indemnify the trustee against the whole of the burdens incident to his legal ownership; and the trustee accepts the trust knowing that under such circumstances and in the absence of special contract, his right to indemnity cannot extend beyond the trust estate, i.e., beyond the respective interests of his cestuis que trustent. In this case their Lordships have only to deal with a person sui juris beneficially entitled to shares which he cannot disclaim. The obligation of such a person to indemnify his trustee against calls upon them appears to their Lordships indisputable in a Court of Equity unless of course there is some contract or other circumstance which excludes such obligation. Here there is none. Whether the Plaintiff in this case could sue Benjamin and Kelly on any promise by them to indemnify him need not be discussed. Such a right if it exists in no way affects the obligation of the Defendant as the Plaintiff's cestui que trust. But it is obvious that any payment to the Plaintiff by Benjamin and Kelly or by the Defendant in respect of the calls would reduce the amount which the Plaintiff could recover from the Defendant or from them as the case might be.\n\nFor these reasons their Lordships will advise Her Majesty to allow the Appeal and to reverse the judgments appealed from with costs;",

        "content_text": "# HONGKONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL\n\nA. It was suggested by the Colonial Secretary that a system of Chinese dressers on the lines of a system of native dressers which had worked most satisfactorily in hospitals for Asiatic patients in the Federated Malay States, should be given a trial in the Asiatic wards of the Government Civil Hospital.\n\nQ.--5. Is it not the fact that on the 28th October last, the late Mr. E. A. Hewett, speaking in Council on behalf of the Unofficial Members, expressed their opposition to the substitution of 6 Probationer Dressers for 2 Nurses?\n\nA. 5. This is the case. The late Mr. E. A. Hewett said that probationer dressers, although they are very useful, cannot possibly take the place of Nurses. This Government, on the other hand, is of the opinion that properly trained dressers can and should take over a large part of the duties of European Nurses in wards for Asiatic patients. Arrangements have recently been made for Japanese Staff Nurses and probationer Nurses to take charge of the Asiatic wards in B Block at the Government Civil Hospital.\n\nQ-6. For what period of time are such Probationer Dressers engaged? Are they not constantly changing? Does not the Blue Book for 1915 (at pages J134-6) contain the following Record with regard to Probationer Dressers, at the Government Civil Hospital, who were engaged to take the place of the said 2 Sisters, namely:-\n\n| Probationer Dressers | Appointed | Resigned |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Li King-po | 1st July |  |\n| Chan Wang-shang | 1st July | 31st August |\n| Wong Tak | 1st September | 15th October |\n| Chan Fuk-loi | 16th October |  |\n| Chan Chuen | 1st July | 31st October |\n| Leung Ying | 1st November |  |\n| Chan Hoi-chuen | 1st July | same date |\n| Tsang Put-ting | 6th July | 15th December |\n| Kwok Po-sum | 16th December |  |\n| Li Shu-nam | 1st July | 30th September |\n| Benjamin Young | 1st October |  |\n| Chan Man-chung | 1st July | same date |\n| Cheuk Sui-bun | 9th July |  |\n\nA.-6. Probationer dressers are engaged on a probationary period of six years. They are required to pass an examination at the end of the first, second, third, and sixth years. The Blue Book record of changes in the Staff of dressers is correct. Great difficulty was at first experienced in engaging a suitable class of man, but now that the system is better understood, it is hoped that better material will become available.\n\nQ.-7. With reference to that part of the statement made by the Government, in answer to my question 3 (i) at the last meeting of the Council, which reads as follows:- \"The Staff was increased, and it is considered that the present establishment, when at full strength, is ample for purposes of granting customary leave of absence,\" will the Government state (i) For how many months such increase of Staff was in force, and also (ii) Whether it is not the fact that, on the date of the last meeting of the Council, when the above answer was given, out of the 14 Sisters on the Government Nursing Staff in the Estimates for 1916 (exclusive of the 2 Sisters on the Private Nursing Staff) there were 7 Sisters only in the Colony then available for duty, of whom 3 had then already completed 4 years of Service?\n\nA.-7. (i). The Staff of Nursing Sisters was increased in November, 1914. It was at full strength up to and including May, 1915. (ii). Out of the fourteen Sisters shown in the Estimates for 1916, eight were in the Colony available for duty at the date mentioned. At that date, they had the temporary assistance of four ladies, one fully and three partially trained. Of the eight Sisters referred to, three had completed four years' service. Of these, one has now gone on leave, and the remaining two propose to sail on the 9th and 30th August, respectively.\n\nQ-8. With reference to the following portion of the answer given to my question 2 at the last meeting of Council, namely:- \"During the period January, 1913, to June, 1916, inclusive, the Nursing Staff in the Colony has been below the number borne on the Estimates during 12 months. It has been equal to or in excess of that number during 30 months.\" will the Government state (i) When did the period or periods of time occur, making up the said 12 months during which the Government admits that the Nursing Staff in the Colony has been below the number borne on the Estimates? And will the Government state by how many during each of such periods such Nursing Staff has been (ii) When did the period or periods of time, in the said 30 months, occur during which the Nursing Staff is alleged by the Government to have been in excess of the numbers borne on the Estimates, and by how many Sisters is it alleged that the Nursing Staff was in excess of the numbers on the Estimates during any and what portion of such period or periods? (iii) When did the period or periods of time in the said 30 months occur during which the Government alleges that the Nursing Staff was equal to the numbers borne on the Estimates? (iv) For how many months and during what months of what years, during the said period January, 1913, to June, 1916, was the same Sister attending to maternity cases at the same time as she was attending to other cases in either A or B Block? Is it admitted by the Government that such a course of procedure was undesirable? Was not such a course of procedure owing to a shortage of Sisters available for nursing duty? (v) Is it not the fact that during the said period January, 1913, to June, 1916, the Staff of Sisters available for duty was so short that different Sisters were obliged at different times to go on duty, when they were so seriously indisposed as to be in fact unfit for taking duty by reason of their suffering severely from diphtheria, gallstones, boils, acute sore throat, and dysentery?\n\nA.-8. (i) (ii) (iii). The words \"The Nursing Staff in the Colony\" in the reply to the second question put by the honourable member on the last occasion should have been \"The Nursing Staff employed by the Colony.\" The mistake, which arose through the misreading of a return furnished from the Government Civil Hospital, is regretted. The exact position is as follows:- Throughout 1913 and 1914, provision was made in the Estimates for fifteen Sisters. From January to June, 1913, fifteen Sisters were in the employment of the Government, and two of these were on leave. From July to October, 1913, fifteen Sisters were employed, of whom one was on leave. In November, 1913, sixteen Sisters were employed, of whom one was on leave. From December, 1913, to June, 1914, fifteen Sisters were employed, of whom one was on leave. In July and September, 1914, sixteen Sisters were employed, of whom one was on leave. In August, 1914, fifteen Sisters were employed, of whom one was on leave. In October, 1914, fifteen Sisters were in the Colony. In November and December, 1914, eighteen Sisters were in the Colony. In 1915, provision was made for eighteen Sisters. From January to May, seventeen were employed, and eighteen were in the Colony. In June, fifteen were employed, and fifteen were in the Colony. From July to September, fifteen were employed, one of whom was on leave, from October to December. In 1916, provision was made for sixteen Sisters. In January, sixteen were employed, of whom one was on leave. In February and March, fourteen were employed, of whom one was on leave. In April and May, thirteen were employed, of whom two were on leave. In June, twelve were employed, of whom two were on leave.\n\n(iv). There is no record of the Maternity Hospital being separated from the general hospital until August, 1913, when a Sister was temporarily engaged to take charge of the maternity hospital. She was assisted by a probationer nurse, or by one of the Private Nursing Staff when available. A Sister on duty in the General Hospital continued to take charge of the maternity cases at night. From October, 1914, the Maternity Hospital has been entirely separate from the General Hospital. The Government concurs that the existing system is preferable to the system which previously obtained. The former procedure was not due to any shortage of Sisters.\n\n(v). The Superintendent of the Civil Hospital, the Matron, and the late Acting Matron concur that no Sister has at any time been obliged to go on duty when she was so seriously indisposed as to be unfit for duty.",

(Mr. S. M. Churn), Wicking, Harry & Co. (Mr. J. Owen Hughes).\n\nCHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT\n\nIntroducing a discussion on a standard form of fancy piece goods contract, the CHAIRMAN read the proposed form, which was as follows:-\n\n(1.) \"Not more than four months clearance including free godown, insurance, etc., will be allowed from date of arrival or sale from stock after which date the buyer shall pay 1 per cent. per month which shall cover interest, godown, insurance and all charges, but the seller's rights on buyer's failure to perform his obligation at due date of clearance shall be wholly unaffected by the provision for payment of the 1 per cent. hereinbefore contained. This clause shall not be varied or affected in any way by Chinese or other characters written or chopped on it by any person purporting to be acting on behalf of either party.\"\n\n(2.) Sellers are not responsible for delay in shipment or non-fulfilment of contract if occasioned by Strikes, Fire, Floods, War or Civil commotions, or any other circumstances beyond their control, and the certificate of any British Chamber of Commerce or other representative Trade Corporation as to the cause of delay in shipment or non-fulfilment of contract shall be conclusive evidence thereof.\n\n(3.) Any dispute regarding quality, shade, finish, design, packing, etc., not settled amicably shall be referred to arbitrators to be appointed by the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce.\n\n(4.) Any goods not taken delivery of within the time specified shall remain at buyer's risk in every respect.\n\n(5.) No terms of this contract other than those expressed in the English language shall affect or be binding on the sellers.\n\n229\n\nThe CHAIRMAN: I think the idea is that it should replace the old contract.\n\nMr. COUSLAND asked that if a contract for goods was made and the shipments were spread over three months, and the last shipment did not arrive in time, could the buyer turn round and refuse to accept the goods? They had had cases taken to Court upon the point and personally he felt rather aggrieved about it. It came under the Sales and Goods Act.\n\nMr. VAN ANDEL said he had compared the present form with the old one and found a good many differences. There were two clauses in the old contract which were missed entirely in the proposed one, and he thought it advisable that they should be inserted. The one referred to the question of shades. A couple of years ago they were told by Manchester that they could not expect the exact imitation of old shades of samples, and so far as he knew that had not yet been withdrawn. He thought importers should be protected against deviation. The other addition referred to clause 3. He suggested it should be added that when the goods arrived in the market in an imperfect state buyers should take delivery, and any dispute with regard to quality, shade, etc., should be referred to arbitration. He thought that was the custom in the Colony.\n\nMr. PLUMMER (as Chairman of the Sub-Committee) said the sub-committee had very carefully considered the very large number of contracts which were at present used in the Colony by various importers, and it was quite impossible to cover everything which some importers desired. As to Mr. Cousland's point, if any portion of the goods were late through unforeseen causes they were covered by common law. If they were late from some cause for which they were responsible, then he was afraid they had to accept the responsibility.\n\nMr. COUSLAND: Only for the late portion. Legally, they are entitled to throw back the whole of the goods.\n\nMr. PLUMMER said that, with regard to the question of a slight deviation in shade, they could refer the matter to the Chamber of Commerce for arbitration.\n\nMr. VAN ANDEL said that one of the reasons why he mentioned the matter was to see whether the Piece Goods Sub-Committee had considered it.\n\nMr. COUSLAND remarked that in any sale contract with Manchester they had the clause inserted that late delivery of one portion of the contract did not affect the others.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN, proceeding, said that the reasons why the proposed contract had been brought forward were familiar to all of them and did not need either advocacy or discussion by him as Chairman. That there was a genuine need for a standard form of contract which should be adopted and adhered to by all importing members of the Chamber was common knowledge, common ground and common agreement. He would like to say most emphatically that it was not the slightest use adopting the contract which had been suggested, either in its present form or amended, if they chose by show of hands that afternoon to amend it, unless those who adopted it prepared rigidly to adhere to it. (Hear, hear). He said that advisedly, because there had been cases reported to the Committee of the past contract, which had been in force for some considerable time, being partially, if not wholly, ignored by some members of the Chamber, who subscribed to it.\n\nIt might be that the reports were false. He formally moved the adoption of the Committee's recommendations as to the local standard form of fancy piece goods.\n\nMr. J. L. PLUMMER seconded.\n\nMr. COUSLAND asked whether it was proposed that the clauses should simply be added to the old contract, or were to be considered to be the entire terms of the contract. If the latter, he was afraid there were one or two legal points which had been left out.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN suggested that points raised by Mr. Cousland and Mr. Van Andel would be covered if clause 3 were altered to read as follows:- \"Any dispute regarding quality, shade, finish, design, packing, delivery, late shipment or non-fulfilment of contract, etc., not settled amicably, shall be referred to arbitrators to be appointed by the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce and their finding shall be binding on both parties.\"\n\nMr. COUSLAND suggested the addition of the following clause:- \"Late or non-arrival of one or more lots not to affect other shipments under this contract.\"\n\nThe CHAIRMAN announced that the suggestion would be accepted, as part of clause 3, or would be drafted in another clause.\n\nThe additions mentioned by the Chairman and Mr. Cousland were agreed to, and the proposed contract, as amended, was unanimously approved by the meeting.",

        "content_text": "# LATEST CANTON OUTRAGE\n\n(Continued from page 9)\n\nWe conjectured the possibilities of the Shameen authorities hearing of our arrest and decided that at least they must know something was wrong Friday morning. And so as patiently and cheerfully as possible we lay awaiting fate.\n\nThe General's Apology. We were introduced to a Mr. Wong whom we afterwards found was the staff to the leader of the Whampoa Cadets, General Chang Kai-shek. He shook hands, departed, and we did not speak to him again.\n\nInterest never failed to arouse itself when one called across to the other \"Honam arrived unincident.\" We were getting incident enough.\n\nA Surprise. Thus we resigned ourselves to another night in captivity. Food was given us but only Chinese food. We accepted an offer of milk and got hot water with some of Nestle's best stirred in. However there were cigarettes intermingled and a spice of hope.\n\nIt was good to hear English spoken again and we were three morning on the same topic.\n\n## CHINA MORNING POST, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1925\n\n### SOUTH CANTON SHIPPING\n\n#### SEVERAL STEAMERS GOING UP\n\nThe Honam's Trips. We had an admirable joke between us to continually renew our spirits by saying \"Honam arrived unincident.\" \n\nWe also found later that our cable had said, \"Honamour Ives were in his hands, that Canton arrived three thirty unincident.\" The last word is the universally known pressman's express for the fact that the affair being reported happened without untoward incident.\n\nOn the journey down the Honam passed six steamers going upriver. One flew the Japanese ensign and was well loaded down, apparently loading coal. The other included another with the name Crouprinz Olav, stated to be new to the China coast.\n\n### CANTON NEWSLETTER\n\n#### INDEMNITY FOR DEATH OF JAPANESE\n\nAn indemnity has been demanded of the Chinese de facto government by the Japanese for the death of the petty officer who was killed by Red troops who fired on the Japanese gunboat's launch several days ago.\n\n#### Coal\n\nLarge shipments have come in, despite the boycott on Japanese goods, as a rule in ships chartered by Chinese merchants. In Canton itself one Japanese steamer was seen unloading coal.\n\nThe local Japanese colony has been doing a thriving business in coal. Our sense of duty in getting the cables back to our respective papers was the cause of our arrest. It was for that we entered what has for months been a forbidden city.\n\n### THE LATE MR. HO CHEUK\n\n#### SATURDAY'S IMPRESSIVE FUNERAL\n\nRepresentative Attendance. The remains of the late Mr. Ho Cheuk, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ho Fook, and formerly in the compradore department of the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, were laid to rest on Saturday afternoon at the Mount Davis Cemetery.\n\nThe cortege, which left the house of the deceased, No. 5, Macdonnell Road, S., at 2 p.m., was preceded by the band of the East Surrey Regiment, and was followed by the various units of the St. John's Ambulance Brigade, and Chinese members of residence in Conduit Road.\n\nThe attendance included practically every Chinese merchant of standing. We were taken to a small room, plainly furnished, and drinks were served.\n\nOnly those who have spent a few hours in chains can guess at the discomfort. We constantly turned our thoughts to the merits of the nationality of the Macauley life of Samuel Johnson and the virtues and knowledge of Benjamin Franklin!\n\nAt Cadet Headquarters. Outside was an indescribable delight. A short run and we arrived at a place which was evidently the yamen of some one of standing.\n\nThe guard presented arms and the visitors entering Wong's office unannounced. Speculation as to who they were was rife between us. The leader was a tall thin Russian who answered to Borodin. He was followed by a woman and another dark thick set man.\n\nAn interesting ceremony took place at the S. M. Revenue Office on Monday afternoon, when Mr. Geo. E. Marshall, who is retiring from the Council's service, was the recipient of two tokens of esteem from his confreres of the staff.\n\nMr. Marshall was born in Brighton, served in H. M. Navy, and in 1889 joined the S. M. Police. After serving in the Police for 10 years, he transferred to the Revenue Office, and has remained there up to the present time, making a period of 36 years in all of valuable service to the community of Shanghai.\n\nThe Honam brought down from Whampoa about 11 p.m., and even the Japanese authorities are willing to admit that the Whampoa cadets undoubtedly had no intention to fire, and this fact probably has caused the Japanese to demand that an indemnity be paid.\n\nThe volunteer crew of the Honam are still working the ship well. Every officer on board is a volunteer. Captain Thomson is skippering his boat and his other duties are being carried out by Messrs. Eca and Place.\n\nDespite the fact that they are working without the assistance of their Chinese help, the Shameen banks are open for business as usual, and are willing to pay out money to Chinese as well as to foreigners, rumours to the contrary notwithstanding.\n\n### SHAMEEN BANKS\n\nThe Shameen banks are open for business as usual and are willing to pay out money to Chinese as well as to foreigners. The banks can honour cheques drawn on Chinese accounts before the Yue Shing Bank, the compradore staff of Jardine, Matheson & Co., Ltd., compradore staff of Arnhold & Co., Ltd., compradore staffs of E. D. Sassoon & Co., Ltd., Kwong Sun Company, and many others.\n\n### RETIREMENTS\n\n#### SHANGHAI VETERAN'S\n\nAfter a brief history of Mr. G. E. Marshall's fine record, it was announced that he is leaving Shanghai by the R. M. S. Empress of Canada on September 7, and intends to settle down at Worthing, near his birthplace.\n\nThe best wishes of his many friends in Shanghai will go with him in his retirement.\n\n### FUNERALS\n\nThe joint funerals of Liu Chung-shi's decision to remain at least until Christmas dinner in London society was the cause of much comment.\n\nThe local Chinese community has been doing a thriving business in various phases of flying, and many Chinese are hoping to be able to get sampans to take them out to the Honam, which is scheduled to arrive off Shameen this evening.\n\nThe cargo for Canton which went up on Thursday is still in her hold, no lighters being able to get off to unload it. Sixty-five bales of silk were brought down while in the morning over 400 passengers had been landed by boat from her without any trouble.\n\nPage 10",

SIMMONS.\n\nEnclosure No. (8).\n\n'The Hong Kong Daily Press'\n\n(Leading Article of 21st March, 1930).\n\nTRAMS AND MOTOR-BUSES.\n\nSome very striking facts and figures were revealed by the Chairman of the Hong Kong Tramways, Ltd., at the annual general meeting of that concern. Traffic receipts for last year amounted to $1,606,000—a total which shows a falling-off of nearly three lakhs as compared with receipts for 1928. This remarkable drop, we are told, is mainly due to the competition of motor-bus services. During the year efforts were made by the Company to obtain from the authorities the necessary permission to run its motor-buses on more remunerative routes than those now maintained, but without meeting with much success. The Chairman did not indicate what applications were actually refused, nor the reasons given for such refusal. Nor was anything said in explanation of a curious state of affairs revealed at the previous annual meeting in connection with the bus-service along Queen's Road.\n\nQuite a lot of interest was aroused in this matter twelve months ago, but neither the directors nor the shareholders referred to the subject at the general meeting held this week. If the mystery has been solved, it is a pity the solution was not revealed; if it still remains a mystery, it is strange nobody troubled to ask why it has not been solved.\n\nThe Tramway Company long since realised the possibilities of petrol-driven passenger vehicles, and five years ago applied for permission to run a bus service between Causeway Bay and Whitty Street via Queen's Road. On the ground that the last-named thoroughfare was too narrow to carry such traffic this application was refused. Two years later, in 1927, this application was renewed, but nothing happened beyond a formal official acknowledgment of its receipt. In 1928 a third application was made by the Tramway Company for permission to run a service between Taikoo and Blake Pier, but again without success, though a permit was given that year to another concern, allowing a bus service through a street which had been previously described as too narrow for such traffic.\n\nThe result of this concession was that for a distance of nearly five miles the tramways had to run in competition with another company operating a motor-bus service which followed a shorter route between two busy terminal points. Eventually official permission was given to the Tramway Company to run buses anywhere along its own routes—a concession which is not quite the same as being able to run services either alternative or supplementary to those already maintained on the rails.\n\nLicences to run motor-bus services are becoming exceedingly valuable now-a-days in every part of the world, and the circumstances attending the granting or refusal of applications to establish services are very closely scrutinised by the parties interested—and they include the public.\n\nThe public whom these services are designed to serve surely has a right to know a little more than it does about the manner in which applications for permission to establish bus services in the Colony are dealt with. So far as we are aware, no explanation has been ever given as to why a privilege refused to one concern on a very definite ground was granted to another without the objection originally mentioned having been removed or amended.\n\nHowever, some interesting developments were hinted at in the speeches made at the Tramway Company meeting. The Chairman announced that negotiations have been opened with a view to acquiring the business of the Hong Kong Hotel Motor Garage. At an early date it is proposed to inform shareholders of the position and lay certain proposals before them. Disclosures of the nature of these proposals will be awaited with very keen interest. Judging by what was said at the recent meeting, it seems probable that the mystery to which we have already referred is to be intensified by the concern to which the Queen's Road licence was granted two years ago negotiating the sale of that franchise to the concern whose application for the privilege was refused by the Government.\n\nIn other words, there appears to be prospects of the Tramway Company acquiring indirectly that which it was found impossible to acquire by the direct method—a curious state of affairs which, no doubt, can be but has not been explained.\n\nPage 50\n\nPage 51",

Those which have been received are from Dr. L.H.D. Buxton, Professor J.Y.T. Greig, Mr. G.W. Rossetti and Mr. D.J. Sloss. Of these Dr. Buxton withdrew his candidature. Of the others Mr. Sloss and Mr. Rossetti were interviewed by a Selection Committee consisting of Mr. A. Mayhew, of the Colonial Office, Sir William Peel, Dr. T. Franklin Sibly, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Reading, and myself as Chairman. The Committee also considered the qualifications of Professor Greig and had the benefit of the advice of Dr. Sibly, who is personally acquainted with Professor Greig.\n\nAfter seeing Mr. Rossetti the Committee had no doubt that he was as yet too young for the appointment and that he might conceivably be ruining his whole career, which may be a brilliant one, by being appointed to this office. Mr. Sloss's record is set forth in the attached papers. I am forwarding with this copies of testimonials received from Professor O. Elton, Professor W.G. Fraser, Sir Benjamin Heald and Sir Hector Hetherington. The only doubt in the minds of the members of the Committee regarding Mr. Sloss's fitness for the appointment was his age, but when they interviewed him they were convinced that his mental and physical powers were such that he could well bear the burden of a five years' appointment at the University of Hong Kong. His brilliant administrative experience in Rangoon speaks for itself. He organised the whole University system and as Principal of University College, the larger of the two constituent Colleges of the University of Rangoon, he played a most prominent part in University life and administration. He was behind the scenes the virtual Vice-Chancellor, the actual Vice-Chancellor being a non-educationalist, generally a Judge of the High Court. During his time as Principal he had many difficult problems to face, including the reduction of salaries in the slump period and a serious strike of students. In connexion with the latter incident he displayed force of character and resolution. The members of the Committee believed that this",

        "content_text": "# Copy of letter dated 25.6.37. from Sir Benjamin Heald\n\n20\n\nMy dear Brander,\n\nYour confidential letter of the 23rd June. I have no hesitation in saying that I regard D.J. Sloss as suitable for appointment as Vice-Chancellor of the University of Hong Kong.\n\nDuring the five years (1927-1932) while I was Vice-Chancellor of the University of Rangoon, Sloss was Principal of University College, Rangoon, which was the largest College in the University, and we were working in close co-operation throughout that period.\n\nI found him to be a man of great strength of character and of very sound common sense, and I relied greatly on his judgment and help. I hoped in fact that he would succeed me as Vice-Chancellor, and I would have recommended him strongly but that he told me that he would prefer to continue to be Principal of the College.\n\nIf there are any specific questions about him which you would like to ask I shall be glad to answer them.\n\nSincerely yours,\n**(Signed) B.H. HEALD**\n\nPage 20\nPage 21",

        "content_text": "## Storage of the Film Scrap\n\n50. In September, 1947, a consignment of approximately 30 tons of cinematograph film scrap arrived in the Colony; it had originally been consigned to Shanghai, but in view of the import regulations prevailing in that port, had been redirected to the Hong Kong Branch of its consignees, the Oriental Development Corporation. The Secretary of the branch was unable personally to secure storage space for what he knew to be dangerous cargo, and turned it over to the China Travel Service. Mr. Benjamin Lee of the latter organisation in his evidence stated that, having failed to arrange storage in the Kowloon Godowns for reasons which he could not remember, he arranged storage in the Wing On Godowns, probably after a telephone conversation with a member of the godown office staff. He was aware of the exact contents of the drums, because the bill of lading had described the cargo as 144 drums of \"nitro-cellulose film scrap\". The cargo was delivered to the Wing On Godown No. 1 on 22nd September, 1947, and a godown warrant for its storage was handed to the tallyman of the China Travel Service. The godown warrant which was eventually passed to the owner was written out wholly in Chinese characters, and the cargo was described as 膠片碎 (`Kau pin sui`).\n\nThe warrant was signed by Wong Siu Keung (deceased). The drums of film scrap were entered in the placement-book of Godown No. 1, probably by Yeung Yung San (deceased), as 膠片碎 (`kif- Kau pin sui`).\n\nA similar cargo of film scrap, that used by the Assistant Government Chemist in his investigation, had been stored in the China Union Corporation godown, and a godown warrant in English had been issued. The contents of the drums were described on this warrant as 舊照相軟片 (`Kau chiu sheung yuen pin`), also in English, as \"nitro-cellulose film scrap\". An entry in the placement-book disclosed that on 24th November, 1947 the film scrap was removed to Godown No. 5, for reasons unknown, but we consider that as Godown No. 1 was not rated as a \"hazardous godown\" for insurance purposes, the intention had always been to store this... \n\n24 \nof tallymen permanently connected with each godown. \n\nMovement of goods was largely effected by casual labour, employed on a more or less permanent basis.\n\nPage 45",

        "content_text": "# First Annual Report of the Hong Kong War Memorial Fund Committee, 1947 (Section 9 of Ordinance 10/47)\n\n## SECTION 1:-ADMINISTRATION\n\nThe Hong Kong War Memorial Fund Ordinance No. 10 of 1947 was passed on the 20th February, 1947. In accordance with its provisions, relief is given from the Fund to various categories of persons who have been bereaved during the battle of Hong Kong and the period of its occupation by the Japanese.\n\n2. In April, 1947, a Committee was appointed by Sir Mark Young to establish and administer the Fund. The Committee consisted of the following:-\n| Name | Title/Position |\n| --- | --- |\n| His Honour Mr. Justice E. H. Williams | Chairman |\n| Hon. A. Morse, C.B.E. |  |\n| Hon. Dr. S. N. Chau |  |\n| Hon. R. D. Gillespie |  |\n| Mr. Ngan Shing Kwan |  |\n| Rev. George She |  |\n| Mr. T'so Tsun On |  |\n| Miss Shin Tak Hing |  |\n| Miss Alice Kwok |  |\n| Mr. J. H. Ruttonjee, C.B.E. |  |\n| Mr. E. C. Fincher |  |\n| Mr. Benjamin Wylie |  |\n| Dr. A. M. Rodrigues |  |\n| Mr. J. C. McDouall |  |\n\n3. Miss Shin Tak-Hing left the Colony in July and Mrs. Li Shu Pui was appointed to take her place during her absence. Mr. Ngan Shing Kwan was absent from the Colony on business for some months. Mr. J. C. McDouall returned to the Colony early in September and took his place on the Committee. Rev. George She, who has been in England for some time, has recently returned.\n\n4. On the 16th May, on the eve of his departure from the Colony, Sir Mark Young broadcast an appeal for support to the Fund which was then about to be established. The appeal was made by the Committee at the end of May, circular letters being addressed to various persons and firms in the Colony.",
