I apply to Britannia, queen of seas and colonies, the words in which her latest novelist portrays his heroine: \"ake la as mild as she is game, and as game as she is mild.\" The English delight in the un- taganden which comhlars in one person the extremes of courage and tenderness. Nelson, dying at Trafalgar, sends his love to Lord Collingwood, and, like an inco- eent schoolboy that goes to bed, says, \"Kiss me Hardy,\" und turns to sleep. Lord Collingwood, his comrade, was of a nature the most affectionate and domestic. Admiral Rudney's figure approached to delicacy med effeminary, and he declared himself very sensible to fen, which he surmounted only by considerations of honour and public duty. Clarradan says, the Duke of Buckingham was so modest and gentle, that some com tiers altempted to put effrouts on him, until they found that this modesty and effeminacy was only a wark for the most terrible determination. And Sir James Perry said, the other day, of Sir Joha Franklin, that, \"If he found Wellington Sound open, he explored it; for he was a man who never turned his back on a danger, yet of that tenderness, that he would not brush away a Mon- quito,\" Even for tusir highway men the same virtues is elclmued, and Robin Hued tomes described to us an altissimus prædimum, the gentlest thief. But they know where their war.dogs le Crowell, Blake, Maribo- rough, Chatham, Nelson, and Wellington are not to be trified with, and the brutal strength which lies of the hottem of society, the animal ferocity of the quays and Cockpits, the builies of the costernongers of Shoreditch, Seven Dials, and Spitalfields, they know how to wake up.

The task is to proofread this text, correcting spelling errors, fixing spacing issues, rejoining broken sentences, and restoring paragraph breaks, all while preserving the original content and format as much as possible.\n\n## Step 2\nFirst, we need to identify and correct spelling errors. For example, \"Wongkong\" should be \"Hongkong\", \"sh. 1000j€rawa\" should be \"sh. 1000\", and \"Brit. bk 670 Dod\" should be \"Brit. bk 670 Dod\" (no change needed here, but \"Brit.\" is an abbreviation for \"British\" which is correct). \"Dut. 764 ric\" should be \"Dut. 764\", and \"Earl of Windeer\" should be \"Earl of Windsor\".\n\n## Step 3\nNext, we need to fix spacing issues. For instance, \"XCR (85)72\" should be \"XCR(85)72\", and \"GR 1178/1922/32 (III)\" should be \"GR1178/1922/32(III)\".\n\n## Step 4\nWe also need to rejoin broken sentences. The text contains many lines that are split due to OCR layout errors. For example, sentences that are broken across lines without a logical reason should be merged.\n\n## Step 5\nRestoring paragraph breaks is another crucial step. The OCR output may have incorrectly merged or split paragraphs. We need to format the text into proper paragraphs based on the content and logical breaks.\n\n## Step 6\nIndicate missing words with \"...\" if a word is clearly missing due to OCR damage.\n\n## Step 7\nThe text should be formatted in standard Markdown. This includes using headers (#, ##, ###), sub-headers, bold-type (**bold**), and tables using Markdown table syntax.\n\n## Step 8\nSince the text is a mix of different documents, including newspaper articles and court transcripts, we need to be careful not to rephrase or rewrite the content. The task is to correct errors and improve formatting without changing the style, tone, or word choice.\n\n## Step 9\nNo translation of text is required, and file references should not have any spacing inside parentheses.\n\n## Step 10\nPage numbering lines, if detected (usually six lines in total, three at the page beginning and three at the end), should be kept as they are, as they were originally used during scanning to delineate page metadata.\n\n## Step 11\nThe output should be in HTML using for paragraphs and \n only if absolutely necessary.\n\nThe final answer is: \n\n324\n\n25\n\n[NO. 6.

T. MERCER, Colonial Secretary.\n\nCalcutta, AT HONGKONG, 17th March, 1859.\n\nSIR,\n\nHaving received information that a number of Pirate Vessels had assembled near their old haunt at Coolan, I despatched Her Majesty's Ship Niger, and the Gun-boats Janus and Clown, on the 11th instant, in search of them, accompanied by Mr Caldwell, Registrar General, who, as usual, kindly volunteered his services.\n\nThe Squadron returned last night, and I do myself the honour of forwarding your Excellency Acting Captain Colvile's report of his proceedings, which will show the essential service rendered to the community at large, and the gallant manner in which Captain Colvile and the Officers and Men engaged, have succeeded in destroying a formidable force of Pirates.\n\nI beg to draw your Excellency's notice to the good service rendered by Mr Caldwell—an additional claim to the many already possessed by that zealous Officer.\n\nAs this is the last opportunity I shall have of addressing your Excellency on the subject of Piracy, I beg your Excellency will express to Mr Caldwell my high sense of the important services rendered by him on the numerous occasions he has volunteered to accompany Her Majesty's Ships on expeditions against Pirates, in which he has volunteered to share all the danger, without the inducements which animate Naval Officers to distinguish themselves.\n\nI have the honour to be, Sir, your Excellency's most obedient, humble Servant,\n\nM. SEYMOUR, Rear-Admiral and Commander-in-Chief.\n\nHis Excellency SIR JOHN BOWRING, LL.D., &c., &c., &c., Hongkong.\n\nH.M.S. Niger, HONGKONG, 16th March, 1859.\n\nSIR,\n\nI have the honour to lay before you the results of my late cruise after Pirates, and to congratulate your Excellency on the success of the undertaking.\n\nActing on information received at Macao, the whole of the 12th instant was spent in searching for a Fleet of Piratical Vessels cruising in the vicinity of the Tang Rocks, but failing to discover them, I weighed towards evening, and anchored late off Koolan, with the intention of visiting Tsoo-chong, under whose batteries a formidable Fleet of Piratical junks were known to be lying—the depredators of several valuable cargoes: an Owner and Master of two of the captured Junks acting as Pilots, under the able and effective assistance of Mr Caldwell, Registrar General.\n\nAccordingly, at 7 on the morning of the 13th, I proceeded with the Boats (as per margin*) in tow of the Gunboats Clown and Janus, and after a run of 14 miles came within sight of a large flotilla of heavily-armed Junks and Row-boats, hauled under the protection of what we subsequently discovered to be regular defences, consisting of a water Stockade, with a double ditch and high stockaded embankment, armed with 36 Guns, protecting the whole sea face and flanks of Tsoo Chong.\n\nDirecting Lieutenant Wells in the 10-oared Cutter to examine a suspicious Junk to windward, whilst the Janus overhauled two others to leeward, I took the remaining Boats directly in towards the central force of Junks, leaving the Clown to cover our movements, but with peremptory orders to fire only in case the Shore Batteries opened on the Boats.\n\nHowever, it soon became evident that the Enemy were prepared for a determined resistance, the Crews of the Junks joined the Villagers, who, with violent ejaculations and waving white Flags, on which the characters \"Hoong-kin-wong,\" (Triad King,) was prominent, invited us on, at the same time a heavy fire of Round and Grape opened on our advance.\n\nForming behind a knoll of land, insulated by 500 yards of shallow water from the left extreme of the Stockade, leaving the Pinnace to cover the landing, and much assisted by the very excellent shell practice of the Gunboats, the storming party dashed waist-deep into the Stockade, and receiving a fire of Grape entered the embrasures of an 8-gun Battery, bayonetting the defenders, who crowded the inner ditch and appeared paralysed by the vigour of our proceedings.\n\nAfter a short hand-to-hand encounter, they retired precipitately, and now was seen the extraordinary sight of 60 Blue Jackets and Marines chasing fully 500 armed Men, through brakes and narrow acclivities for nearly two miles in the rear of the works.\n\nIn this movement great numbers of the Enemy were killed, and it had the effect of turning the Sea-defences, thus rendered comparatively harmless.\n\nThe storming party were now joined by the men under Lieutenants Blake and Wells, who, by a judicious detour to the right, had materially assisted in the discomfiture of the Pirates.\n\nEvery House in the Town was a Magazine, in which large quantities of Arms and Munitions were stored. I consequently directed the Village to be burnt. Eight large piratical fighting Junks and eleven Fast-boats shared a similar fate, their Guns having previously been sunk in deep Water. The 36 Guns of the Land-defences were also destroyed. Considerable resistance was offered by two of the Junks; the Boats were repeatedly hulled.\n\nWhen I bring to your Excellency's notice the very large force of Men, consisting of at least Thirteen Hundred effectively armed, with a necessary perfect knowledge of locale, and the determination they evinced in opposing our landing, I cannot but feel astonished at our good fortune: not a casualty occurred, whereas the loss of the Enemy could not have been under a Hundred and Eighty Men.\n\nAfter communicating with a Mandarin Junk force just arrived from Macao, with the information that 7 Pirate Junks were at anchor off Lie-wan-moon, opposite Moto, the Boats returned to the Ship at Koolan.\n\nMarch 14. Having despatched the Niger to await my arrival at Macao, I proceeded with the whole Boat Force to examine the numerous creeks to the west of Broadway en route to Lie-wan-moon.\n\nIn Ly-kee, a Bay opposite Koo-lan, four piratical Junks, with Guns, numerically formidable, were driven on Shore and burnt by Lieutenant Villiers. In the largest, an English red Ensign was found.\n\nIn a deep inlet to the North of Louchow, three others were captured and destroyed.\n\n*Galley—Acting-Captain Colvile.\n\nPinnace, Lieutenant Blake, Mr Laurenson, Mr Pearce, Mr Markham, and Mr Buck.\n\n1st Cutter,—Mr Price, Midshipman.\n\n2d Cutter, Mr Smyth,\n\ndo.\n\n3d Cutter, Mr Wells, Mr Potter, and Mr Wesley; subsequently to the destruction of Tsoo-Choong, Lieutenant Villiers...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-073 - Lieut.

The Villagers in pointing out their position were graphic in their account of the barbarities they were committing, and hailed our arrival with the most enthusiastic rejoicings. A Hamlet had been sacked and a Passage-boat taken that very morning. Advancing until dusk I anchored, and prepared (by getting Pilot) for prosecuting my search in the morning.\n\nMarch 15.—Weighed at Daylight and piloted by Boatmen, who had been robbed by these Pirates on the Evening of our visit, threaded the remainder of the tortuous Reach connecting Broadway with a River running in a parallel direction.\n\nThe Piratical Squadron were shortly discovered ahead, using every effort to escape.\n\nWhen the sternmost one, mounting 24 Guns, was brought to, she proved to have been a Rice-boat captured in January last, from a Hongkong Chinese Merchant, who accompanied Mrs Caldwell. I caused her, therefore, having previously removed the Guns, to be restored. Seven large Passage-boats were likewise released.\n\nThe Gunboats now unfortunately taking the ground, I despatched the Boats to capture the remainder, a service I am bound to add most ably executed, the Pinnace under Lieutenant Blake (the senior Lieutenant present), after a running fight of one hour and a quarter driving one of 9-guns on Shore, her Crew being immediately pounced upon by Mandarin Soldiers. Another Junk of 12-guns after a vigorous resistance, in which two Stinkpots were thrown into Boats of Janus, under Lieutenant Knevitt, was carried by boarding; and three others, mounting respectively 7, 9, and 22-guns, were captured and burnt by Lieutenant Villiers, with the two Cutters in co-operation with the Clown. Exclusive of the Crew who fell into the hands of the Mandarins, Twenty-one Pirates were killed on this occasion by the fire from the Boats. I then returned to the Boats, and the Guns, mostly 18 and 24-pounders, of American manufacture, were sunk beyond means of recovery.\n\nI proceeded to Macao, arriving at midnight, from whence I proceeded this morning to join your Flag.\n\nIn bringing before you the important results achieved by the zeal and gallantry of the Officers of the Boats and their Crews, I beg to record the great assistance derived from the Gunboats, to Lieutenants Lee and Knevitt, and the 2d Masters Messrs Gilpin and Worsfold, so unceasing in their attention, every praise is due. Yet to Mr Caldwell the success attending this expedition is mainly owing; without his experience and adept method of gaining information, I fear our endeavours would have been futile.\n\nI have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant,\n\nHis Excellency Rear-Admiral SIR MICHAEL SEYMOUR, K.C.B., &c., &c., &c., Commander-in-Chief.\n\nGEORGE S.

Mr. Julyan also believes Mr. Price to be a good Engineer; Price states that as the scientific portion of his Harbour Works at Sierra Leone is completed, he might be moved to another Colony without detriment to the works.\n\nMr. Julgan is, however, adverse to the idea of moving Mr. Price just now, for though he believes Mr. Price's work to be well done, he would rather that it should be finished by Mr Price himself, and that the value of the work should be tested by experience, before Mr. Price is promoted. Mr Price has, moreover, the advantage of standing the climate of Sierra Leone better than most newcomers.\n\nUpon the whole, I am of opinion that if Mr Price's Sierra Leone work should turn out well, his good service on the Surveying duty should warrant promotion at an opportune time, but that for the present he should remain at Sierra Leone, notwithstanding his natural wish to get away from the place.\n\nAnd if you are of...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-161 - Public Offices - 1872.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 292557, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-165 - Sir Kennedy - 1873 [10-12]", "page_number": 566, "title": "CO129-165 - Sir Kennedy - 1873 [10-12]", "content_text": "## DESPATCH\n\n### Hang động \n\n2 Confe No 1222 \n\nGovernor. \n\nNo. \n\nmedy Confe \n\n1873 \n\nOu 244 \n\n0. \n\n**(Subject)** \nAppes of Puisne Judge.\n\n**RECEIV** \nFEB \n1874 \n562 \n\nAnd letter from Mr. Hayllar requesting to have previous Paper time to consider whether he will accept the appointment.\n\n13629 \nDisposed of by Gov.

I hear of loss of life already among the natives. The Japanese have made an honourable withdrawal of their troops. They only desire now that the Chinese Government should deplore that they have given cause that led the Japanese to send their soldiers here, and then they would take away their troops. I don't think the Chinese will agree to this declaration, as it is nothing less than an acknowledgment of the illegality of the Japanese proceedings. They know they can fight now and don't care what turn the negotiations may take.\n\nThe French civil engineers had stopped a few days ago to superintend the erection of a fort at Amping. It is to cost a good sum of taels, something touching $100,000, besides...\n\nIt must be remembered that the force of the storm was such as to tear up trees by the roots; and telegraph poles would not be very much more. Our belief is, that at the departure of the last mail from Shanghai, everything was in exactly the same state of uncertainty as before. Two Chinese passengers around The Felony gun-boat, Capt. Wright, were drowned that there was a prospect of a mutually satisfactory arrangement being arrived at.\n\nThe foreign newspapers did not confirm this, and there is no doubt whatever of all lives lost but Mr Heather, the gunner, on board. We got the tag of rigorous preparations on the Yangtze river.\n\nThe United States Janillary rigour is exhibited man, out of the typhoon here. It did some damage to trees and houses.\n\nWe are of opinion that the rumour mentioned above has arisen, either from witnessing the energy on both sides; or by the invariable tendency of rumour to gather in as it goes. As to the government forbidding telegrams to be forwarded, it is absurd. If they wished to stop communications, they surely know how to effect it within a few hours, not by such a foolish order. There is such a gathering of rumours touching peace or war. We must wait until the next steamer arrives from Shanghai or Nagasaki, and advise our friends to be undisturbed by any more rumours.\n\n## JAPAN\n\nThe desolation the town now reached its depth. The crash of falling houses, the screaming of the victims, people running to and fro in the utmost consternation; but can get no particulars yet. The roar of the wind and of the rain, all this was something awful to hear or see. Suddenly an ominous glare appeared in the heavens. Fires had broken out in different parts of the town, and the flames, whipped on by the gales, rushed in horizontal streams over the largest masses, devouring the buildings that stood even at great distances in their direction. The loud reverberation of these fires striking from the flying clouds on the sky was repeated by the waters which invaded the doomed town in every direction. On this occasion the loss of life was fearful. People had only to shun their death by water, tree, or the shock of falling buildings.\n\nLast month, a hail-storm passed over Nikko, Yonezawa, and the neighbouring country, and several people were hurt by the bad stones. An old man, between 20 and 30 years of age, said he had never seen such large ones; some of them measured 7 inches in circumference. Several persons who put up native umbrellas against the storm had them broken to pieces. At last daylight dawned on this terrible scene.\n\nIt seemed a dream, an enormous negation, awful to relate, but there it was; in this dire destructive Macao was not to be recognised; the waves sprang like infuriated lions on the ruined buildings and it seemed uncertain if the very ground had not gone down. By this time the barometer was already rising, but as soon as the first light appeared in the heavens, His Excellency, the Governor, the noble and brave Viscount S. Januario, went out with his staff and a body of troops to bring help where needed. The robbers who began to assail and plunder the ruined houses were energetically put down. It is a most remarkable occurrence that to this moment a very insignificant looting has taken place.\n\nThe Governor, with Mr Cunha of the public works department, after tremendous heroic efforts extinguished the fires. Mr Canha was severely wounded in the head on this occasion. While this was going on, a body of soldiers with Mr R. Sampaio, a naval officer, A.D.C. to the Governor, and Mr Menier were saving life on the sea.\n\nAs tea is one of the principal, and also one of the most valuable, exports of Japan, care should be taken to prevent fraud in its preparation for market.\n\nTOKOHINA\n\nWe received the following interesting telegram on Saturday (the 5th), but too late for publication in last issue— \"Satsuma men have offered to equip, send to the war (against China), and support, eighteen thousand (18,000) troops, at their own expense.\"—Gazette.\n\nXIGATA\n\nDuring the typhoon at Niigata on last night, eleven persons were killed.—Gazette.\n\nJinrikishas have come into general use, made here.—Ibid.\n\nDuring cannon practice, at Tsukuda jims, Tokei, on the 29th ulto, one of the guns burst, the fragments flying in all directions. The farmers near the river banks who have the numerous pear gardens which abound for miles along each side will be great losers, their trees have been stripped of both leaves and fruit. The value of pears exported from here last year was $60,000.—Ibid.\n\nOne man stripped himself and swam off to save some persons who were drowning. It is believed that the originators of this fraud have been discovered. For the credit of the country it is fortunate they did not succeed in passing off this ink-dyed material.\n\nMr Broitdem of the English navy, who was on the Prais, saved also two children in the same way. The greatest energy and bravery shown by the Portuguese soldiers on this occasion when the fury of the waves made it a very difficult matter and a dangerous one to save life from the wreck.\n\nOn account of the unsettled weather this year, the production of the silk-worms at Yamagata ken and Akita-ken has been very poor; but at Miyagi-ken, and farther south, it has been good. The Fukushima Kencho granted a license allowing the people engaged in the trade to use patent papers for the depositing silkworms eggs; but some fellows infringed the patent and manufactured a lot of papers in hue a colour exactly resembling the genuine ones. The Kencho heard of this, the license was recalled, and the trade is therefore in considerable confusion.—(Fukushima.)\n\nWith the view of adding to its forces the Tokugawa clan...\n\n## LIST OF VESSELS IN HARBOUR\n\nSeptember 2, 1874.\n\n| Vessel | Nationality | From | Remarks |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Queizen Maru | Jap.

The cold was intense, the wind was terrible, and the rain struck in such a way to hurt. Towards three o'clock the fire was subdued and the sea had returned to its wonted bed, but alas! Macao was no more. What was to be seen a few hours ago, it is a remarkable thing that among the general ruins the grand building lately constructed by Viscount S. Januario remained nearly untouched as the solitary witness of a former prosperity which seems to be now gone for ever. The gunboat Teja escaped marvellously nearly unhurt, owing, to a great extent, to the ability of its commander Fernando da Costa Cabral. The man-of-war Principe Dom Carlos was carried 12 miles inland and is now stranded in a rice field. The one commanded by the brave Captain Marinho escaped by a miracle. The gunboat Camoes was carried inland to a great distance and is believed to be a hopeless wreck. Captain Guiades, its commander, one of our best naval officers, was struck on the chest by a falling rust and was severely hurt, but his life was saved.\n\n## THE WAR IN FORMOSA\n\nWe hear by the last mail from Shanghai that the Chinese officials there put faith in the report that an understanding had been arrived at in Peking regarding the Formosan difficulty. It is also said that they are relaxing the haste of their preparations for war. The Danish ironclad they have purchased is said to be the Hot Krake, one of the monitor class, built in 1861, and known to have seen some active service during the Schleswig-Holstein business.\n\nThe murderer of Mr. Haber has been found guilty, and sentenced to death. His sentence has been referred to Tokio for ratification, as is usual in all capital cases, before being carried into execution.\n\nThe new fort was washed over by the typhoon, and the new guns were washed to a great distance. The guard of this fort was securely bound when on his trial, and bad to kneel down in court, showing some levity in his manner, but he died miserably. The commander of the fort stated, were made of Lea-ling-de, and the worst going on during the typhoon.\n\n## CHINA. SHANGHAI\n\nDuring his absence, Mr M. Langhorne will not act as agent of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, as Mr Holm filled the post of Agent to the Pacific Mail.\n\nThe P.M.S.S. Co.'s steamer Oregonios, with the American mail, arrived on the evening of the 19th, having experienced strong north-west winds from Nagasaki. She leaves again with the American mail. She takes with her the thirty Chinese students for America who were to have gone forward by the previous steamer.\n\nWe have enquired regarding the reported settlement of the Formosan difficulty, by Okubo, in a quarter likely to have the earliest information on the matter, and are informed that nothing has been heard.\n\nWe hear that private telegrams received on Wednesday from Japan, conveyed warlike indications.\n\nThe clipper ship Brake of Abercorn left full port on the 17th, for London, with a cargo of tea. As she moved away from her berth, B.M.S. Thistle dipped her ensign and cheered, a compliment which was acknowledged by the departing ship.\n\nThe Peking Gazette of 3rd September contains a memorial from the Governor-General of Fukien and Chekiang, submitting certain civil appointments for sanction, on the ground of existing urgency of providing for the defence of Foochow and Amoy, and also of Lubking in Formosa.\n\nWhether that issue shall be Peace or War, remains a sealed mystery.\n\nAt the Mixed Court, on the 18th, before Chen and Mr Stronach, a Chinaman known to foreigners by the name of Taze-foo-sung was charged...\n\nFive hundred soldiers from the Camp at the South Gate passed through the Settlement about 9 or 10 am on the 15th, on their way to Woosung and Paoshan. It is stated that 100 picked men have been formed into a patrol corps, to watch the coast of the Woosung peninsula.\n\nThe French barque Union is still fast on the Block-house Spit, and as the high tides are on the wane, the chances of her getting off are becoming very slender.\n\n## CHEFOO\n\nThe only thing of any interest going on here is the enquiry into the Fawcet murder case. I send you a few notes of the preliminary examination, which has resulted in a committal of the accused for trial on the charge of murder.\n\nThe Band of the Japanese ironclad Rio Jie-kow, numbering 37 performers, all Japanese, delighted the visitors and residents at Chefoo by playing in the garden of the Beach Hotel on Monday afternoon, the 7th inst. They played \"Wacht am Rhein,\" the \"Marseillaise,\" \"God Save the Queen,\" quadrilles, marches, and at the end of each piece, a round of enthusiastic applause was given to them from the occupants of various summer-houses, and gardens, which performance was well merited.\n\n## GOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONG KONG\n\n25th September 1874.\n\nMy Lord,\n\nI regret to inform you that we have been visited by the most destructive typhoon ever experienced in this Colony.\n\n2. I enclose a newspaper Account of the...\n\n## SHIPPING REPORTS\n\nThe Crics reports: strong N.E. winds from Yokohama, left today for Yedo.\n\nThe Hopewell reports the last three days strong N.E. wind but did not experience the typhoon. Lost 2 boats and store by washing overboard.\n\nThe Formosa reports bound to Foochow. Experienced a typhoon on 22nd Sept in 18 N. and 121 E., commencing at N. and veering through W. to S.\n\nThe Chos y reports: moderate variable winds with big confused sea from 22nd to 23rd, with light variable winds during the 24 hours, with light Southerly breeze.\n\nThe Bug reports: the last few days experienced a nasty cross confused sea, with light & variable winds but encountered no typhoon.\n\nThe Japanes Embassy left for Peking on the 8th instant, after a rather eventful, but not uninteresting stay, of six days.\n\nThe North American reports on the 22nd inst, at 12 p.m., 65 miles S.S.E. from Hongkong experienced heavy typhoon from N.W. veering to S.W. then South, Barometer 29.20.\n\n## CANTON, 22nd Sept. 10 p.m. 1874.\n\nWe have the gale here now. Fresh from N.E., and Barometer still Falling.\n\nWe counted no fewer than twenty-five house-boats lying about, tottering in the breeze at the various piers on the 19th.\n\nPrinted and published by Nor.

Upon this latter point, Lord Carnarvon has not forgotten that in his despatch of 27th July 1876, Sir Brooke Robertson has explained that with the exception of Hong Kong, a similar tariff is applicable to all ports, including Manila, Saigon, and the Straits Settlements; the Canton authorities have doubtless been influenced by former complaints that such is the case.\n\nThe Consul at Canton has reported that the tariff differs, and it is not impossible that the discrepancy arises from incorrect information or that the collections do not correspond with the tariff. In the absence of any authentic copy of the Tariff, it is scarcely possible to arrive at any certain conclusion on the subject.\n\n6.

You are well aware that at one time in the history of this Colony such things occurred, and large purchases were made many years ago of Crown lands in certain portions of the Colony which to this day have been unused. They were bought for speculative purposes and they remain idle. A similar charge appears to have been made as regards the sale of the Crown lands in 1881.\n\nThis is a matter of public interest, and I have therefore asked the Surveyor-General to favour me with a return of the various lots sold in 1881 by the Government, with a statement as to what has been done or is proposed to be done with the land so sold. Now, I find that the first lot sold was inland lot No. 509. It was sold for $3,500 to a Chinese gentleman, and upon that lot he is erecting a number of houses. The next lot sold in 1881 was lot No. 26 at Kowloon, a Marine lot. That has been sold to the Hongkong and Whampoa Dock Co., a company, as you know, one of the most flourishing of its kind in the East, which is doing an immensity of good in the Colony. That was purchased with a view to the erection of houses for the workmen employed at the dock, but the buildings are not yet commenced.\n\nThe next lot was sold to Messrs. Belilios and Chater, for $12,525, and upon that lot godowns and houses are to be erected during the current year. Speaking in the presence of my hon. friend Mr. Belilios, I may say that though the godowns are not yet finished, some of them are actually let, such is the demand for business premises in the Colony. The next lot was a small one, sold for $1,768, purchased by a European gentleman for a lawn tennis ground, which has been constructed. The next lot, for $2,025, was also sold to my enterprising friend, Mr. Chater, and upon that lot there have been erected four godowns for the storage of kerosine oil, and they will contain about 120,000 cases. The buildings are nearly completed.\n\nThere was a small inland lot sold to Mr. Ede, which is still unoccupied. Two very important lots were sold at Bowrington to Lai Wai Yeung, one for $10,025 and the other for $6,025, and upon those lots that Chinese gentleman is constructing, as you all may see, a large sugar refinery. The site selected is one that, as you know, has remained perfectly idle and grass-grown up to this year. It is between the great premises of Jardine, Matheson and Co. and the city of Victoria. Upon this ground that sugar refinery is now being built. It is the first time that a sugar refinery, as such, has been constructed in the Colony of Hongkong, for the sugar refinery a little further to the east, which is called the East Point Sugar Refinery, consists of buildings which, as you are aware, were constructed originally with a view of doing something to remedy the inconvenience felt with regard to the currency of the Colony by establishing here a Mint.\n\nSir Hercules Robinson constructed those fine buildings for a Mint. They were subsequently sold—I think it was unfortunate—for less than a third of what they cost, but I am bound to say they are now usefully employed by an energetic company, the China Sugar Refining Company. With regard to the sugar refinery being built by the Chinese a little nearer the town, the machinery for that building is being obtained from Scotland; it is of the best kind, with all the latest improvements, and the machinery and buildings will cost about $350,000.\n\nI find that a small lot, inland lot No. 622, was sold for $10 to a European gentleman for the storage of timber. Next there is a lot sold for $2,525 to another European gentleman for kerosine godowns. These godowns have been nearly completed. The next lot, a small one, sold for $205, is still unoccupied.\n\nI come now to a very important sale that was effected at Kowloon of marine lots No. 20 and 21, sold, one for $29,025 and the other for $24,025. They have been purchased by Mr. Chater. The ground is now being reclaimed from the sea. I had an opportunity some time ago of examining the plans and estimates, and with respect to that important work I have been furnished by Mr. Danby with a memorandum in which he states—\n\n\"The ground on the beach at Kowloon between Tsimsa-tsui and the Royal Naval Coal Sheds was sold lately by Government to some influential capitalists in the Colony, who propose utilising it for commercial purposes by erecting large Godowns and Coal Sheds thereon. The ground will be reclaimed by them, a strong sea wall being erected in front and for the whole length of the ground; wharves will also be constructed at intervals along the front of the sea wall so that vessels of large tonnage can lay alongside and either discharge or take in cargo at any state of the tide and in all weathers, this position being sheltered for typhoons and strong gales by the Kowloon hills. Men-of-war and steam-ship anchor immediately in front of this place during the typhoon season. The storage capacity of the whole of the godowns will be about 375,000 tons, and the capital that will have been laid out on the project when completed will exceed one million dollars.\"\n\nI find the next lots are lots bought by European friends of mine, some as sites for bungalows on the hills—Messrs. Alford, Ede, Remedios, Stephens, and others. The ground is still unoccupied. Next we come to a lot, at Belcher's Bay, which was sold for $35,100. In point of fact, I believe that on that lot there will be constructed a dock of large dimensions, for some of the Chinese gentlemen who purchased that valuable piece of Crown land have expressed to me their regret that Her Majesty's ship Inconstant should be seen leaving this harbour to proceed to Nagasaki to be docked, and they undertake that when they have an opportunity of making their new dock, Hongkong will then have a dock capable of taking in the largest vessel in Her Majesty's service.\n\nI find certain works which were undertaken in Duddell-street, and for a small portion of which some Crown land was sold. My hon. friend on my left (Mr. Belilios) has those works in hand also. Upon that site there is now being built, as you see, substantial and magnificent godowns, and I think some of these, as many as nine of them, though not yet finished, are actually let.\n\nFinally, I come to a lot with respect to which there has been a good deal of talk, inland lot No. 837, which was sold for $24,500 to Messrs. Butterfield and Swire. That is a lot about half-way between this and Shau-ki-wan, at a place called Quarry Bay, and the only reason why anyone can speak of the Government having got larger prices than it really ought to expect for land is that perhaps with reference to the sale of that lot an incident occurred which might give rise to the idea there was some speculation. I think it was $5,000 or $6,000 that in consultation with Mr. Bowdler we arranged as the sum at which the upset price for that lot should be fixed. I may mention that, as usual in such cases, I received representations from Mr. Bowdler that the upset price was somewhat too high.\n\nFrom time to time in 1881, with respect to the lots at Bowrington especially, I myself ventured considerably to increase the upset price the Survey Department recommended. Representations were made to me on the subject, but I did not feel justified in reducing the price. But with respect to this particular lot, I understand, in fact it is a matter of notoriety, commented on in the public Press, that though the upset price was something like $6,000, a gentleman attended at the sale and ran the price up to $24,500. Well, there can be no doubt whatever from all I understand, if that gentleman had obtained the lot for $24,500, it would not have been for the purpose of erecting upon it a sugar refinery. Messrs. Butterfield and Swire intend to put upon it a sugar refinery, which I am disposed to think will be one of the best sugar refineries in Her Majesty's Colonial empire.\n\nWhen I was Governor-in-Chief in the Windward Islands, I had an opportunity of seeing a remarkable sugar refinery built at St. Lucia, which at that time was supposed to be the best in Her Majesty's colonies. Having seen the plans and estimates of the new sugar refinery, with an account of the machinery now on its way out, obtained from Blake, Barclay & Co., of Greenock, I have no hesitation in saying we are about to have a sugar refinery in Hongkong that can compete with the large refinery at St. Lucia. This new manufactory will consist of a building having nine floors; it will be constructed to a great extent of iron, on the modern system and with the latest machinery.

The Colony borrowed £25,000 for the Colombo Harbour under ordinance of 1875. You will see an account of the loan at page 9 of the Estimates. The colony paid 5 percent interest and 1 1⁄2 percent sinking fund - 8 1⁄2 per cent in total.\n\nThe Governor of Hong Kong is therefore in error when stating that the money was borrowed at high interest by the Commissioners. If I have spoken to M. Blake, but you may Confidential Despatch no. 23 Aug.\n\nA loan borrowed from the Public Works Loan Commissioners would presumably entail an immediate Sinking Fund at 2 1⁄2 percent, and as the Crown Agents fund will probably be able to borrow at 4 1⁄2 percent with one percent Sinking Fund; there would, therefore, be no object in applying to the Public Works Loan Commissioners unless they have lowered their terms since 1875.\n\nThey would waste time; a note to that effect would seem the best course to negative this scheme at once. Application to the Treasury on the subject but it would probably only result in a negative response.\n\nWe might at any rate make private enquiries as to the present dealings of these loan commissioners and have his views direct from Ion Lucas, like `$73`.\n\nThe English Public Works Loan Commissioners have no standing authority beyond the UK & the Colonies. In the case of Colombo Dockyard (and Galle Dockyard) there are Acts of Parliament that have paved the way.\n\nYou had better look there ups. The loan in the former case was based, I think, on the consideration that there was one of Imperial importance. The Colony's works are not of this category.

The Christmas Rent Roll is delivered as speedily as possible. It takes two days to make up the supplementary Rent Roll. We have to make two copies and check them with the books, and that occupies the rest of the time. There are nearly 300 pages to copy.\n\nQ-Is it correct to say that Alves could not make up his books because he was waiting for your Rent Roll or information from you?\n\nA-It is certainly incorrect because he never asked for information and has always been able to get it at a moment's notice no matter what it has been.\n\nQ-We are anxious to have this Rent Roll sent in to the Treasurer as soon as possible in order that he may make his book out definitely and close it as soon as he can. How soon after December 25th and June 25th do you think you can send in your book supposing that you have extra help?\n\nA.-If it is made up to date it could be done with extra help within three weeks. But I should say it could be delivered on the day itself because there would be very little else to add during two months.\n\nMr. Bird. But it would not be absolutely correct?\n\nA.—It would be correct with the supplementary list of any sales that have taken place during the two months. The changes are very few in two months, six sales extra would cover it.\n\nQ).—I should think if the book was delivered correct within three weeks it would be sufficient?\n\nA.--Yes.\n\nQ-They could still go on collecting rent from the old book during those three weeks, and in order to do that you will only want extra assistance. You have only one Chinese clerk?\n\nA. Yes.\n\nThe Chairman.---And he can only copy out the Rent Roll in his spare moments? A.-Yes, he has to attend to people searching and they occupy a lot of his time. With regard to delivering the Rent Roll they told me at the Treasury that they wanted the Rent Roll in March, and they said that they never wanted it before the end of February. I take it that as they get information of the changes from day to day they could always make up their Rent Roll as quickly as I could, and practically they only want it as a check.\n\nQ.---It has never been as much as six months in arrear?\n\nA.--No, I have never been asked for it.\n\nQ.--Were any complaints ever made to you?\n\nA.---No, never.\n\nQ.-About the taxes, you give them notice also of the collection of taxes?\n\nA.-I used to for several years. I made returns once a week, or fortnight, or once a month, but I found it was not used for the purpose I intended and I discontinued it.\n\nH. C. Nicolle re-called.\n\nThe Chairman.We wish to examine you about these arrears; the first thing we have to enquire into is the amount of the defalcations. I have got from Mr. Brace Shepherd a correct list within $1,000 or $2,000 of the amounts that ought to be received for a number of years. I would suggest that we start with December 31st, 1887, when you have as arrears $84,192. Then you would add the years 1888, 1889, 1890, 1891, and the first half of 1892,\n\nA.--No, both halves of 1892.\n\n(61)\n\nQ-That would make $1,012,210.46 which ought to have been received. Deduct from that the actual sums received which we make to be $873,888.29, which, less arrears $83,639.93, leaves $54,682.24.\n\nA.-I should like to correct my statement about the deficiency. I stated the deficiency for the years 1890, 1891, and 1892 as being $31,000 odd. It ought to be $33,337.07. There is a further point to consider. In the papers of the Land Officer I do not expect the corrections for the Christmas half year 1892 have been made in the 1892 Rent Roll. They have not got the Christmas Rent Roll in the Treasury yet and there may be certain adjustments to make. It would be impossible therefore yet to give the exact amount of the deficiency.\n\nQ—You can tell it approximately?\n\nA.—Yes.\n\nMr. Bird. You have not got the Rent Roll yet from Mr. Bruce Shepherd?\n\nA.---No.\n\nQ-This is March, he said it was always sent in in February,\n\nA.--Alves always used to enter up the Rent Roll when he received it. I think I saw one yesterday, a Midsummer Rent Roll.\n\nThe Chairman.He spoke of the June Rent Roll being sometimes in arrear.\n\nA.--I think I may say I am certain the Christmas Rent Roll has not been received until April.\n\nQ.---About the taxes (Valuation book produced). Do you propose to make any change in this book?\n\nA.-No. I said this book as it stood could not be balanced. It is true at the end there was a piece of paper showing the totals of the money that had been collected. But that was perfectly valueless because you could not check it. If you had taken every counterfoil you could have checked it but you could not trace that the money had actually reached the Treasury because the collections were all lumped together in one book every year.\n\nQ—You had no distinction between arrears and what had been collected for the current year, and so the Treasury books only show the lump sum on account of taxes.\n\nA.—Sometimes I pointed this out and the Treasurer said the amendment would be made. I asked that each year should be shown separate. You take the collection book, compare that with the amount received by the cashier and you make a balance. Madar who kept this book did not appear quite to understand what was wanted, he started what he thought I wanted to be done, showing the distinction of years and quarters but that was just as difficult because you had to go through the book and pick out the items. Now they have introduced what I wanted and have a book in which they show the collections of every quarter separately, and show separately what is paid into the Treasury. You can now get the amount lodged in the Treasury from the cash book; you come to this book and take the counterfoils and you look to see if the counterfoil is initialled. If you have both receipt and counterfoil presumably the amount has not been paid.\n\nQ-You add them up and get the amount of arrears?\n\nA.--Yes. In addition to this I have also suggested, and I believe it is being done, a revenue file for the taxes of each separate year. The lists sent from the assessor and interim valuations should be filed in that file. It would represent anything that has been done with regard to taxes.\n\nMr. Thurburn-Would you have that book balanced every quarter?\n\nA.-No, you could not do that every quarter.\n\nPage 697", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-258 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1893 [1-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 352635, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-260 - Governor Sir Robinson Acting Governor O-Brien - 1893 [9-12]", "page_number": 227, "title": "CO129-260 - Governor Sir Robinson Acting Governor O-Brien - 1893 [9-12]", "content_text": "No. 20253\n\nDESPATCH, Rev 1 E0931\n\nNo. 225\n\n(Subject.)

T. Davenport with the following:- Extract of a despatch from Mr. Webb, H.B.M. Consul at Manilla, dated Sept. 17, 1864.\n\n\"The remedy most efficacious in its effects (in Epidemic Cholera) has been found to be CHLORODYNE, and with a small quantity given to me by Dr. Barke I have saved several lives.\"\n\nEarl Russell communicated to the College of Physicians that he had received a despatch from Her Majesty's Consul at Manilla to the effect that Cholera has been raging fearfully, and that the ONLY remedy of any service was CHLORODYNE-See Lancet, Dec. 31, 1864.\n\nExtracts from the GENERAL BOARD OF HEALTH, LONDON, as to its efficacy in Cholera.\n\n1st Stage, or Premonitory-In this stage the remedy acts as a charm, one dose generally sufficient. 2nd Stage, or that of Vomiting and Purging-In this stage the remedy possesses great power, more than any other we are acquainted with, two or three doses being sufficient.\n\n3rd Stage, or Collapse.-In all cases restoring the Pulse. So strongly are we convinced of the immense value of this remedy, that we cannot too forcibly urge the necessity of adopting it in all cases.\n\nFrom Dr. THOMAS SANDIFORD, Passage West, Cork.\n\nI will thank you to send me a further supply of Chlorodyne. It is the most efficacious remedy I ever used, affording relief in violent attacks of Spasms within a minute after being taken. One patient in particular, who has suffered for years with periodical attacks of Spasms of a most painful nature, and unable to obtain relief from other remedies, such as opium, &c., finds nothing so prompt and efficacious as Chlorodyne.\n\nFrom W. VESALIUS PETTIGREW, M.D., formerly lecturer at St. George's Hospital, London.\n\nI have no hesitation in stating that I have never met with any medicine so efficacious as an Anti-spasmodic and Sedative. I have used it in Consumption, Asthma, Diarrhea, and other diseases, and am perfectly satisfied with the results.\n\nFrom Symes & Co., Pharmaceutical Chemists, Medical Hall, Simla-January 5, 1880.\n\nTo J. T. DAVENPORT, Esq., 33, Great Russell Street, Bloomsbury, London.\n\nDEAR SIR,-Have the goodness to furnish us with your best quotations for Dr. J. Collis Browne's Chlorodyne, as, being large buyers, we would much prefer doing business with you direct than through the wholesale houses. We embrace this opportunity of congratulating you upon the wide-spread reputation this justly-esteemed medicine has earned for itself, not only in Hindostan, but all over the East. As a remedy of general utility, we much question whether a better is imported into the country, and we shall be glad to hear of its finding a place in every Anglo-Indian home. The other brands, we are happy to say, are now relegated to the native bazaars, and, judging from their sale, we fancy their sojourn there will be but evanescent. We could multiply instances ad infinitum of the extraordinary efficacy of Dr. Collis Browne's Chlorodyne in Diarrhoea and Dysentery, Spasms, Cramp, Neuralgia, the Vomiting of Pregnancy, and as a general sedative, that have occurred under our personal observation during many years. Choleraic Diarrhea, and even in the more terrible forms of Cholera itself, we have witnessed its surprisingly controlling power. We have never used any other form of this medicine than Collis Browne's, from a firm conviction that it is decidedly the best, and also from a sense of duty we owe to the profession and the public, as we are of opinion that the substitution of any other than Collis Browne's is a deliberate breach of faith on the part of the chemist to prescriber and patient alike. We are, Sir, faithfully yours,\n\nSYMES & CO.,\n\nMembers of the Pharm. Society of Great Britain, His Excellency the Viceroy's Chemists.\n\nFrom J. M'GRIGOR CROFT, M.D., M.R.C.P., London, late Staff-Surgeon to H.M. Forces.\n\nNovember 26, 1859,\n\nSir, After prescribing Dr. J. Collis Browne's Chlorodyne for the last three years, in severe cases of Neuralgia and Tic-Douloureux, I feel that I am in a position to testify to its valuable effects. Really, in some cases it acted as a charm, when all other means had failed. Without being asked for this report, I must come forward and state my candid opinion that it is a most valuable medicine, and I have recommended several chemists in this neighbourhood not to be without it for prescriptions.\n\nFrom Jno. E. GOULSTONE, M.D., late Principal Surgeon to the Steam-Ship Great Eastern.\n\nI can confidently state that Chlorodyne is an admirable Sedative and Anti-spasmodic, having used it in Neuralgia, Hysteria, Asthma, and Consumption, with remarkably favourable results. It relieved a fit of Asthma in four minutes, where the patient had suffered eleven years in a most distressing manner, previous remedy having had so immediate and beneficial an effect.\n\nFrom DR. B. J. BOULTON & Co., Horncastle.\n\nWe have made pretty extensive use of Chlorodyne in our practice lately, and look upon it as an excellent direct Sedative and Anti-spasmodic. It seems to allay pain and irritation in whatever organ, or from whatever cause. It induces a feeling of comfort and quietude not obtainable by any other remedy, and it seems to possess this great advantage over all other Sedatives, that it leaves no unpleasant after effects.\n\nA BILL\n\nENTITLED\n\nAn Ordinance for the regulation of the consumption of Morphine and for the suppression of the pernicious practice of administering or injecting preparations of Morphine by unqualified persons.\n\nWHEREAS it is desirable to regulate the consumption of Morphine in this Colony and to forbid the administration or injection of preparations of Morphine except in cases where such treatment has been prescribed by some duly qualified medical practitioner.\n\nBe it enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows:-\n\n1.

Any person, not being a duly qualified medical practitioner, who shall, except in cases where Morphine has been prescribed by some duly qualified medical practitioner, furnish Morphine or a hypodermic syringe or other appliance for the injection of Morphine, to any person, except a duly qualified medical practitioner, shall, on conviction before a Magistrate, be liable to a fine not exceeding one hundred dollars, or to imprisonment with or without hard labour not exceeding three months.\n\nThe onus of proving the exception shall lie on the person furnishing Morphine or a hypodermic syringe or other appliances as aforesaid.\n\n5. Any person, not being a duly qualified medical practitioner or a chemist or druggist actually carrying on business as such, who shall have in his possession any Morphine or any preparation of Morphine shall, on conviction before a Magistrate, be liable to a fine not exceeding one hundred dollars and, in default of payment, to imprisonment with or without hard labour not exceeding three months. Provided that this section shall not apply to cases where Morphine has been prescribed by a duly qualified medical practitioner.\n\n6.

The boiler pressure is tested to 180 lbs by hydraulic pressure.\n\nThe safety of the railway really lies in the frequent inspection by the Company itself to whom the question of keeping all the working parts of its rolling stock in proper order is not only of paramount importance but also crucial to its very existence. If the Government were to fortify such frequent inspections by occasional inspections of their own this would do much to ensure the safety of testing certain cases where inspection gave rise to doubts as to the object inspected being thoroughly safe and in working order, a practice much insisted upon in England.\n\nWe will deal separately with each of the tests applied in this Colony.

If there is any reason to doubt the condition of the cable, the Board of Trade have the power of inspecting it and have the power to arrange for the working of any other part connected with the working of the line to be closed if necessary.\"\n\nI am not in a position to think that the heat to which our cable is annually subjected ...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-263 - Acting Governor Barker Governor Sir Robinson - 1894 [5-8].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 354361, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-263 - Acting Governor Barker Governor Sir Robinson - 1894 [5-8]", "page_number": 95, "title": "CO129-263 - Acting Governor Barker Governor Sir Robinson - 1894 [5-8]", "content_text": "c bodie d\n\nin the Arduinance)\n\nor the Regulations\n\ntude r\n\nTo\n\ngive\n\nmade there.\n\naw instance\n\nBrae\n\nof this the late Mr. Benon\n\norie occasions insisted that\n\n14 tons of ballast should be placed in the bottom of the\n\near for the brake\n\npassenger\n\ntest\n\nand persisted in this demand,\n\nwhil it proved to her that the weight would\n\nout the bottom of the car\n\nKranck\n\nThe weight\n\nAvad there re\n\ndepends fully\n\nbrakes.\n\nthe\n\n92 lbs\n\ntreve rope, or tested by\n\nbeen inspected or tested by the Government.\n\nene leview\n\nAve\n\nwould pray that his Excellency the Governor will give the\n\nmatter his kind and considerate attention for it is\n\nof vital importance to the public convenience.\n\nof the greatest pur in this Colony\n\nand that he will ...\n\nAJ duced to seven tons\n\nand even then the exceptional weight was sufficient to twist the guiding rail at the points and derail the Car\n\nleave to point out that the signalling apparatus\n\nWe beg\n\nbetween the cars.\n\nengire house\n\nama the\n\nwhich perhaps the safety of the public depends\n\npossible to do away altogether with tests.\n\nANNA substitute viw-pections similar to those carried by the Boa Trade at home.\n\nThat the nature of the inspections and\n\nwhere such are deemed necessary after inspection shall be clearly defined in addition to the Regulations\n\nlations and that clauses 6 and off of the frid", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-263 - Acting Governor Barker Governor Sir Robinson - 1894 [5-8].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 354366, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-263 - Acting Governor Barker Governor Sir Robinson - 1894 [5-8]", "page_number": 100, "title": "CO129-263 - Acting Governor Barker Governor Sir Robinson - 1894 [5-8]", "content_text": "breaking strain, speed that the cars were run at during ordinary traffic and the speed, at which they had to run at the testing, and asked him if similar tests were insisted upon by the Board of Trade in England.\n\n# Enclosure to Minute from the REC\n\nC.O. 10930 (REC 25 JUN)\n\nDepartment of Public Works.\n\n1.

Dymond.\n\nCONDITIONS OF SERVICE IN HONG KONG POLICE FORCE.\n\nI. No married man will be enlisted, and no married quarters will be provided until after promotion to rank of Sergeant.\n\nII. The pay is $600 per annum in monthly payments of $50. Note.-The exchange value of the dollar is variable. The market rate of exchange is at the present time and the Government will recognize no claim in respect of fluctuations in the value of the dollar. For the purpose of paying salary when on leave of absence in England, the dollar will be taken at 4/-, and in the case of pension, at 3s. 8d.\n\nIII. Full pay will be drawn from the date of embarkation.\n\nIV. A bounty of £15 will be paid on enlistment.\n\nV. Each Officer is allowed to remit home, through the Government, any sum not exceeding his half-pay, but only at the market rate of exchange.\n\nVI. The engagement will be for five years only. Subject to the approval of the Captain Superintendent of Police, and of the Colonial Surgeon, a Constable can re-engage for a further term of five years.\n\nVII. At the expiration of each of these two terms of five years' Service he becomes entitled to a return passage.\n\n(a.) And he can apply through the Captain Superintendent of Police for permission to return to the Service within a period not exceeding nine months.\n\n(b.) Should this application be approved, he will receive half-pay during his absence, and a return passage to the Colony.\n\n(c) On his return he shall be reinstated in his relative position in the force.\n\nVIII. Should he not take leave but remain in the Colony at the expiration of each or either of these two terms of five years' Service, he will receive a sum equal to three months' pay of his rank by way of bonus.\n\nIX. Should he be allowed to continue in the force on the completion of his second term of Service, he may, on his final retirement, be allowed a pension according to regulations from time to time issued by the Colonial Government with the approval of the Secretary of State; under the regulations recently issued, no pension will be granted for less than fifteen years' Service, except in case of retirement on the ground of ill-health.\n\nX. Should a Constable be compelled to retire through ill-health before ten years, a gratuity of one month's pay for each year's Service may be granted.\n\nXI. On joining the Service each man has to provide himself with a uniform box, the cost of which is $5.\n\nXII. As a rule he has to perform six hours' duty in each twenty-four, generally between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m., but is liable to be called on for extra Service.\n\nXIII. He will have to attend School for one hour each day, four days weekly, until he obtains a Certificate of Competency, without which he cannot receive promotion in the force.\n\nXIV.

If he is willing to do this, we can make arrangements without giving him other compensation. There appears to be a general consensus among the other doctors that he is competent.\n\nFor another, there is a Portuguese doctor who was imported by Governor Pope Hennessy. It is not easy to know what to do with him. The Blake book gives 21 July as the date of his first appointment under government authority, and 1 Sept. 87. I think he must be got rid of; but, before he is given a pension, an enquiry must be made as to his age, the degree of his incompetence, and the expectations that were held out to him.\n\nOne more doctor must, I think, be gently shelved, and that is the head man, Dr. Ayres. He is 55 this month - the ordinary retiring age. He is getting past work, and I think the principal civil medical officer with somewhat extended responsibilities & duties, is to become a younger man. Dr. Atkinson, the head of the hospital, has strong claims to his holding the present office, and the appointment was mentioned in Lord Derby's despatch No. 24 of 25 Jan. 83 `[18610.82]`. This despatch simply authorises his temporary retention as resident surgeon in the lock hospital. He himself says his appointment has never been confirmed because he never applied for confirmation (p. 16 grant), and the Governor cannot find that his appointment was ever confirmed by the Secretary of State. I think he claims to it when the post becomes vacant.\n\nDr. Ayres has come home on long leave and contemplates going back for a short period, a year or so, to improve his pension, but I think his retirement had better be compassed as he is passed the age of retirement. His case will be dealt with separately.\n\nThe Sanitary Superintendent, Mr. McCallum, has, I am told by Dr. Ayres, been greatly overworked.

Carried.\n\n### HIS EXCELLENCY BIDS THE COUNCIL FAREWELL\n\nHis EXCELLENCY the GOVERNOR - Gentlemen of the Legislative Council, my principal object in calling a meeting of Council this afternoon was that I might have an opportunity of announcing to you officially a fact with which you are already acquainted privately, that I am leaving this colony on the 1st of February and that my successor will be Sir Henry Blake. The Secretary of State for the Colonies, to whom I telegraphed a few days ago, is unable to inform me of the exact date upon which my successor will arrive in Hongkong, but I assume that after six or nine years' hard work in Jamaica he will probably apply for several months leave of absence. In the meantime, His Excellency General Black will administer the affairs of this Government, a duty for which he is eminently qualified. (Applause.)\n\nI have to thank you all, gentlemen, for the kindness and consideration which you have extended to me during the past six years and two months - a term of office which, uninterrupted by any leave of absence, I do not think has ever been exceeded by a Governor of any one of Her Majesty's Colonies. To Mr. Chater, the senior unofficial member, my thanks are especially due. From you, gentlemen, I have received valuable advice, and I think I may fairly say on some occasions even unanimous support. I can assure you that I shall always look back with great pleasure upon our meetings here - and if I should ever recall any serious difference of opinion which may have occurred between the executive and the unofficial members of Council I shall not forget that we one and all, according to our own lights, although we differed, were solely animated by a desire to do what we individually thought was best for the interests of this progressive colony. (Applause). Gentlemen, I bid you farewell and may every success attend you in the future, both in your public and private capacities. (Applause).\n\nHon. C. P. CHATER - Your Excellency, we have listened with much interest to the announcement you have just made, which, although not unexpected, when thus officially spoken emphasises its reality. Speaking on my own behalf and, I trust, on behalf of my unofficial colleagues present, I desire to express my sincere appreciation of the able manner in which you have for the past six years presided over this Council - (applause) - and of the unfailing courtesy and forbearance shown by you to all. (Applause.) During your Excellency's administration many important Ordinances have been added to the statute book and many important public works accomplished and others inaugurated. (Applause.) This Council, as well as the Executive Council, has been enlarged, and the colony thereby afforded more voice in the control of its affairs. Your Excellency arrived in this colony at a time of deep depression. You will leave it in a condition of renewed prosperity with everything on a sounder basis; and this has come to pass in spite of some adverse conditions, namely, the continued dullness of trade and two outbreaks of plague. Under your auspices most important sanitary legislation has been carried through, greatly to the benefit of public health, though in the face of a good deal of opposition; and the city now is in a far better position to grapple with epidemics than it has ever been before. (Applause.)\n\nNaturally there has been some friction occasionally and debates at times have been very warm indeed, but your Excellency has held the reins with tact and impartiality, and now in laying them down you have the great satisfaction of knowing that you will leave the colony better in every respect than you found it. (Applause.) I feel only too conscious that I am unable to do justice to the occasion, but I trust that my unofficial colleagues, some of whom will no doubt address you themselves, will supplement my feeble attempt at expressing the general appreciation of your Excellency's successful and popular administration, which has also been the longest since the founding of this colony. And now, Sir, in bidding you ... farewell I have only to say that although we may not meet at this table or in this Council Chamber again, yet we shall cherish with deep and lively recollection the urbanity with which you have always presided over our deliberations. In the best sense of the term I am sure we all join in wishing you, Sir, goodbye. (Applause.)\n\nHon. Ho KAI - Sir, I fully concur with the remarks that have fallen from the lips of the hon. the senior unofficial member. I have been with him in the sentiments he has expressed in regard to your Excellency. For the past six years your Excellency has most successfully presided over this Council and during that long period your consummate tact, your wise discretion, and your unfailing courtesy have promoted good feeling and harmony amongst hon. members and increased the usefulness of their deliberations.\n\nWhether we agreed or disagreed upon a measure or a subject, whether we engaged in heated discussion or pleasant banter, the decorum and dignity of the Council have always been maintained. During the six years of your administration we have passed many useful measures and have revised and improved a great many old Ordinances, but I venture to say that in no instance has any harassing or embarrassing legislation been passed. So far as the public works of the colony are concerned, when your Excellency assumed office there were many useful works in progress and in point of completion, but your Excellency has inaugurated many useful works and when they are completed - such as the Peak roads, the road leading from Plantation Road to Magazine Gap, the new houses that are to be built in Taipingshan, and other new works which your Excellency has caused to be inaugurated - all these, when completed, I say, will ...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-281 - Governor Sir Robinson & Acting Governor Major Gen Black - 1898 [1-3].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 365824, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-281 - Governor Sir Robinson & Acting Governor Major Gen Black - 1898 [1-3]", "page_number": 159, "title": "CO129-281 - Governor Sir Robinson & Acting Governor Major Gen Black - 1898 [1-3]", "content_text": "#Blake\n\nI send copy of this to Blake.\n\nCraigieburn will not be available after the end of the year.

BUCKLE (Clerk of Councils).\n\n## MINUTES.\n\nThe minutes of the previous meeting were read and confirmed.\n\n## THE NEW GOVERNOR.\n\n**HIS EXCELLENCY**-Before beginning the business of the day, I may mention to you the nature of a telegram that I have received from the Secretary of State for the Colonies, in which he intimates that Sir Henry Blake will leave England on or about the 1st of May.\n\n## FINANCE COMMITTEE'S REPORT\n\nThe COLONIAL SECRETARY submitted the Report of the Finance Committee (N. 1) and moved its adoption.\n\nThe COLONIAL TREASURER seconded. Carried.\n\n## THE PROPOSED NEW GOVERNMENT OFFICES.\n\n**HIS EXCELLENCY**-In regard to the resolution of the Director of Public Works on the subject of new Government Offices, I think it is hardly necessary to move the resolution again. It was moved at the last meeting of Council and therefore it is better just to continue the discussion upon it.\n\nHon. T. H. WHITEHEAD-Before the resolution is discussed, may I move the resolution which stands in my name, in connection with new Government Offices?\n\n## LAND TRADE REPORT\n\n**HIS EXCELLENCY**-Will Mr. Belilios, before the Council, ...\n\nThe Clerk of Council called for by the Secretary of State's despatch \"No. 126 of 5th June, 1896.” Sir, the contents of that despatch, I feel sure, would be of very great interest to unofficial members. Certain valuations were prepared by the former Director of Public Works, which, I understand, the Committee appointed by Sir W. Robinson to inquire into the question, condemned. From a leading article in the Daily Press of the 3rd of this month, I observe that- \"The plans sent home, of their own houses and which have been condemned by Messrs. Webb and Bell, the Colonial Office Consulting Architects, are those for which Mr. Cooper, the late Director of Public Works, was responsible. As they had already been condemned by the Committee appointed to consider the matter, it seems a little unfortunate that they should not have been at once discarded and competitive designs invited, for their submission to Messrs. Webb and Bell has only resulted in delay and needless expense.\" It would, sir, be of interest to know whether the plans which were condemned by the Committee were really those which the Government sent home. We cannot, I think, decide on this question thoroughly until we have the despatch from the Government with any further explanations the Government may have deemed it expedient to give the Secretary of State.\n\n**HIS EXCELLENCY**-The resolution is not seconded. The next motion is in the name of the Director of Public Works. That motion has already been moved and the discussion may now proceed.\n\nHon. T. H. WHITEHEAD--Sir, if I may be allowed to ask a question before the discussion is commenced, I would like an explanation from the Director of Public Works. At the last meeting of Council he said, \"The resolution I have proposed commits the Council to nothing.\" I should like to know what that really means. I do not understand it.\n\n**HIS EXCELLENCY**-A question of that sort can hardly be asked. The discussion must proceed. The Director of Public Works has the right of reply after the motion has been argued by the hon. gentlemen present, and perhaps then the Director of Public Works will refer to the statement he has made, but the discussion must now proceed in the ordinary way.\n\nThe members then proceeded to discuss the resolution, which was in the following terms: That in the opinion of this Council it is expedient-(a) To construct the New Law Courts and accessory offices on Plot No. 2 on the New Reclamation, namely, the larger of the two lots reserved for Government Offices, immediately in front of the City Hall; and (b) to retain the sites of the present Post Office and Supreme Court for the erection of a new Post Office, which should also afford accommodation for the Treasury and such other offices as may be decided on.\"\n\n**HIS EXCELLENCY**-In reality you may move the motion now, but the Government do not propose to put the paper asked for on the table. The whole of the information contained in that paper relating to the question of the Government Offices has been before you in other papers--absolutely the whole of it. I think I am right, Mr. Colonial Secretary, in saying that. I have read it myself and I think I am right in saying that the whole of the information regarding the Government Offices is before you.\n\nThe COLONIAL SECRETARY-There is nothing, sir, in that despatch which would in any way facilitate the consideration of the question which has been before the public for some time, and nothing which would enable us to come to a speedy decision on the question under discussion.\n\nHon. E. R. BELILIOS-... the Post Office and Treasury, by occupying the adjoining lots, by the course of erection or otherwise, my hon. friend opposite (Hon. T. H. WHITEHEAD) proposes to devote $400,000 of the sum to the erection of new Law Courts on Plot No. 2 next to the City Hall. This leaves $300,000 for the provision of Post Office and other departmental buildings.\n\n## ENCLOSURE 1.\n\n## Memorandum by the Director of Public Works.\n\nWith regard to the designs for the New Law Courts I have consulted with the Chief Justice, Mr. Justice Wise and the Attorney General. I put before them Mr. Cooper's plans, Mr. Cooper's report on the same to the Colonial Secretary No. 252 of the 8th April, 1896, and the report of the Consulting Architects on the same to the Crown Agents dated the 15th September, 1897. We agreed that generally speaking the accommodation provided in Mr. Cooper's plans is all that is required. We then considered the remarks and the objections raised by the Consulting Architects which are as follows:\n\n...\n\nA. \"The order of procedure in the Law Courts in Hong-Kong does not differ in essentials from that which obtains in England,&c.\"\n\nThis is a mistake, the procedure in HongKong differs entirely.\n\nB. \"There should be a Central Hall x x x for the use of the General Public,&c.'\"\n\nThis is quite unnecessary as the Public do not attend the Courts here, while for the very few persons who ...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-282 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black - 1898 [3-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 366262, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-282 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black - 1898 [3-4]", "page_number": 118, "title": "CO129-282 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black - 1898 [3-4]", "content_text": "## DESPATCH\n### No. 117\n\nThe matter is for the present disposed of.\n\nIn despatch No. 3957, it was suggested that the question of The Peak Residence should stand over until after Sir H.

A-ty\" in his Despatch, that I see no reason for repeting of then. I think he satisfactorily refutes most of the objections & I do not see that sufficient reason is shown for reconsidering the precious decision.\n\nThere is however such unanimity of opinion that the premium paid on leased Lands will suffer through the policy that I cannot but think that the O.A.G is too hopeful when he said that the Revenue from Land Sales will not be materially affected. I think in considering the revenue derivable from this source for the next few years, with a view to the erection of Public offices & other pressing works, it would be wise to allow for a reduction of revenue as stated in the last para of this Despatch.\n\nYou will see from the **Despatch** that the O.A.G suggests going so far as to allow Praya Reclamation sites to be leased for 999 years as hitherto, on the ground that these sites which front the harbour are likely to be occupied by specially substantial mercantile buildings; he would however have the Crown Rent revised every fifty years for the following reasons, both of which appear in the **Despatch**.\n\nThis is best dealt with in my minutes on `6140`, the proposal seems to me to afford one instance. In London many of the most valuable sites are held on short leases, or leases not much longer than a fifty years Lease. It seems to me that if the stipulations suggested by the O.A.G in his Despatch were to be inserted in all Leases we should break the back of all objections now put forward.\n\nBefore coming to a final decision, we might suggest the adopting of this course to the Gov'n & get an expression of his views, now that the T.C.M. is on the spot.\n\n17/1 I don't think there is any object in consulting Sir Hy Blake as this Despatch sets out matters so fully.\n\nI agree with this Despatch with his remarks.\n\n**Reply** that Mr Chamberlain has carefully considered the Memorials enclosed in the present `£L(z)-865-2000-12-97 6812-1000-6-GN`.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-285 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black - 1898 [9-10].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 367964, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-285 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black - 1898 [9-10]", "page_number": 373, "title": "CO129-285 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black - 1898 [9-10]", "content_text": "# DRAFT\n## Hongkong no 370 Sir H.

(Colonial Regulations, § 430.)\n\nHead 3.—State the description of Allowance for which the Application is recommended, viz., Superannuation, Compensation, Compassionate Allowance, or Gratuity, and its amount. In the case of Persons claiming an addition to their Pensions in respect of Professional or other special qualifications, this should be stated, and a reference should be given to the authority under which the claim is made.\n\nHead 5.—If the service has been interrupted by one or more breaks, the word “broken” should be added before or after the number of years and months, and the causes, dates, and circumstances of the break or breaks should be stated under heading 9.\n\nHead 6.—If the person retiring has been in receipt of the same Salary, or in the class from which he retires, for the 36 months immediately before the date of his retirement, the actual annual rate of Salary or Wages at that date should be inserted, preceded by the word \"actual\". In other cases the average annual amount of Salary or Wages for the 36 months next preceding the date of retirement should be inserted, preceded by the word \"average,\" but if the whole period of service is less than three years, then the average for the whole period of service should be inserted.\n\nHead 7.—A separate statement should be inserted of the average Annual Value, for the 36 months immediately preceding retirement, of each Emolument (exclusive of salary or wages) which is claimed to be included in the calculation of the Pension or Gratuity.\n\nWhenever the value of a House or House Allowance, so ascertained, exceeds one-sixth of the salary and other emoluments which count for Pension purposes, it is to be reduced to one-sixth of that amount, so that it shall not exceed one-seventh of the whole.\n\nFees which an Officer is allowed to retain for his own use will be taken into account for Pension purposes, with regular salary, at the annual average of the net receipts of the 36 months next preceding the Officer's retirement. These net receipts are to be ascertained by deducting from the gross amount of Fees such Office Expenses, &c., as an Officer may have had to defray from his own resources, in performing the services for which he was remunerated by Fees. No deduction, however, from the Fees should be made in respect of Office Expenses provided from Public Funds, for the due discharge of those duties to which a Fixed Salary is annexed. Papers of \"Particulars\" when forwarded to the Colonial Department should be accompanied by formal Declarations from the retiring Officers, showing the amount received by them for Fees, and the amount defrayed as above for Office Expenses, &c., in each of the three years immediately preceding the retirement. It will be the duty of the Colonial Governments concerned to satisfy themselves of the accuracy of such statements before forwarding them to the Colonial Office. In the case of Officers receiving Fixed Salaries and Fees, the Fees will not in ordinary circumstances be allowed to count for Pension purposes to the extent of more than one quarter of the Salaries, and Fees will not in any case be allowed to count for Pension purposes during any period in which the whole time of the Officer receiving them was not given to the Public Service.\n\nHead 8.—In cases of infirmity, if the Applicant is below the ordinary age for retirement, a Medical Certificate is to be furnished showing that he is disqualified by infirmity of mind or body for discharging the duties of his situation, and that such infirmity is likely to be permanent.\n\nIn case of ten years' service or more, this Certificate should be signed by two Officers, of whom at least one should, if possible, be a Salaried Officer of the Government.\n\nHead 9.—As to \"broken\" service, see Head 5. If the Applicant has had any \"acting\" service, the details must be fully given, with a statement whether or not during the \"acting\" service, he was connected with the permanent Civil Service of the Colony.\n\nHead 11.—If, in special circumstances, a professional Civil Officer has been allowed to have \"private practice\" without forfeiting his claim to Pension, the facts are to be fully stated.\n\nHead 14.—If the Applicant is liable to Buy deduction from his service under Clause 102 of the Colonial Regulations, the facts should be fully stated.\n\nHead 19.—The length of service and other particulars of the computation are to be given.

I cannot learn anything definite for it, & even with Hong Kong the Colony would like to know the advantage on the letters as stamped with English postage.\n\nSuggest we not write to the Secretary on this as we do?\n\n## W. Wingfield's Agreement\n\nI agree to the proposed action in the Straits. We should be told to work out their new inland postal rates at costs. See `26770/12` on this when all is settled.\n\nThe proposed rate to Hongkong is 7/12. We cannot go back on the 12 cents postage. A good deal of misapprehension is based on misunderstanding.\n\nThe main point to settle is whether we make the small concession of letting 4 cents represent 1 penny instead of 5 cents. 4 cents is a little under a penny but is nearer it than 5 cents, which is about 1½ pence. At present, 10 cents represents 2½d for postage purposes. Both Straits & Hong Kong suggest 5 cents, & I should have suggested it also, but I find Mr. Pearson holds very strongly to the 4 cents. As that is the more logical solution, we had better adopt it.\n\n## Actions to be Taken\n\nWe should inform the G.P.O. with reference to our letter of 28 Nov: on `26281/2`. We should also telegraph accordingly to Straits and Hongkong, informing them that we will not press the Parcel's post, and that the new rate will not apply to the Treaty Ports.

Again a letter sent from any British Post Office in China or from the Imperial Chinese Post Office with Hong-Kong stamps thereon would bear only a 4 cent stamp whereas the Colony would have to pay almost 10 cents for its transit thus practically giving a bounty to all non Colonial residents in the Chinese Empire, who correspond with England.\n\n3. A distinction would have to be made against letters arriving from China and if 1 d. letters from the Agencies, which are virtually Imperial Post Offices, be allowed, the Imperial Government should at the very least make up to this Government the loss they incur by transmitting the correspondence of residents in a foreign country.\n\n4.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 368211, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12]", "page_number": 32, "title": "CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12]", "content_text": "4.

Leaving out the Straits Settlements the bulk of Chinese and Indian correspondence is sent to Australia, Netherlands Indies, Japan, Canada, the United States of America, and India, none of which come under the scheme, whereas on the other hand (leaving out China which is common to all) European firms probably send a great portion of their correspondence to England.\n\n6.

He is talented, intelligent, humane, and martial, and is really capable of saving China. This is known to all nations. But the Empress Dowager (lit. The Empress' apartments) has maintained the old ways and her views are perverse and hostile.\n\nI, the Superintendent, having been honoured by the directions of the Emperor to assist him in carrying out these reforms respectfully received the following secret mandate written by His Majesty himself on the 1st of the 8th moon (16th September).\n\n\"We, having considered the difficulty and danger of the present juncture, (perceive that) China cannot be saved unless a change is made and western methods are adopted; if however conservative, weak, and misleading Ministers are not removed, and intelligent, talented and brave scholars employed, it...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 368229, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12]", "page_number": 50, "title": "CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12]", "content_text": "## \n\nOn the 2nd.

This is the posthumous title of the Emperor Ham Fung). With regard to the invariable rules of justice of our humble nation, the Emperor only recognises the principal wife (of his father) as his legal mother, and cannot recognise (his father's) concubine as his mother. Na La Shi, the Empress Dowager who has now usurped the power of the Government, was regarded by Muk Chung (Note by Translator. This is the posthumous title of the Emperor Tung Chi) as his own mother. To the Emperor (Kwong Su) however she is the surviving concubine of the former Emperor (Hem Fung). Since they are not related to each other as mother and son, the duty due by the Minister to the Sovereign should be maintained (Note by Translator. The argument is doubtless that the Empress Dowager should take the position that a Minister should occupy towards his Sovereign). The Emperor has been clothed in his robes and been enthroned for 24 years. He has always exhibited anxiety and diligence (for the welfare of his country), and it has never been heard that he is deficient in virtue. But now the licentious and depraved Palace Concubine has deposed our holy, intelligent and great Emperor. She has irregularly issued a feigned edict (in which) she designates herself (as the one who shall issue) instructions with regard to the administration (of affairs). Why need a young holy and intelligent Emperor wait for instructions in Governmental matters? The people should not have two monarchs and a nation two sovereigns.

She has always grasped great power to bring the greatest injury (lit. worm-wood and poison) on the people, and has appropriated $30,000,000 from the Naval Department, $30,000,000 from the Liu Han Railway fund and $260,000 from the Peking Official Emoluments for the repairs of the I' Wo Park.

These figures show that the total average admissions per thousand for the nine years preceding 1888 when the Ordinance was repealed, were 323.8; and for the nine years following 1888, were 312.67; which fully confirms the statement in Mr. Chamberlain's despatch that \"since the date of the repeal of the C.D.O., the average amount of disease among the troops stationed in the island has not increased\". \n\nB. Miss Leslie, the lady doctor who, amongst her other duties has charge of the Women's Venereal Hospital at Colombo, when in England lately, told me that she has no difficulty under the present voluntary system in keeping the women in Hospital till they are cured; whereas she felt certain that if a law were passed enforcing compulsory detention in Hospital till cured, the result would be that many who now come to Hospital voluntarily would keep away.\n\nI hope therefore that the voluntary system will be allowed to continue unaltered: but if a new system is to be introduced I proceed to discuss the provisions of the draft Ordinance sent home from Ceylon. \n\nThe draft Ordinance very closely follows the Indian Cantonment Regulations; but it requires various verbal amendments, so as to include the civil as well as the military populations of the garrison towns within its operations; and in sections 4 and 5 \"public prostitute\" should be altered into \"person\" as in the Indian Regulations. If this is done a proviso should be added to section 4 to the effect that attendance at a public Hospital may be dispensed with if the medical officer considers such attendance inexpedient. Moreover, I would prefer to see this proviso rendered less vague than in the Indian rule, e.g., by saying that attendance at the Hospital may be dispensed with if the medical officer is satisfied that the patient is receiving proper medical treatment.\n\nSection 6 is copied from the Indian Regulations almost verbatim. Mr. Chamberlain decided in the despatch to Hong Kong, that a clause of this character should not be adopted, but instead that power should be given to close any brothel, with heavy penalties against the keeper. The Attorney General proposes to use this clause for the purpose of enforcing medical examinations, by threatening to close a particular brothel. Point out that as Mr. Chamberlain laid down that he was not prepared to sanction the re-introduction of any system involving compulsory or periodic examination, he of course cannot allow this indirect method of enforcing the examination of women.\n\nSection 7 is new, and, I should have thought, unnecessary, as persons can be excluded from the barracks, which are private property, in the same way as they can be kept out of any other private grounds without special legislation.\n\nSection 9, as to penalties, follows the Indian rule; but should, I think, be made much severer in respect of the penalty for keeping brothels as suggested above.\n\nSection 10 follows the Indian rule, except that \"his or her\" has been altered to \"her\". This alteration should certainly not be allowed to stand.\n\nIn conclusion, I venture to repeat that section 4 is a very dangerous clause because there is no safeguard attached to...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 368258, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12]", "page_number": 79, "title": "CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12]", "content_text": "76 \n\nto the use of the phrase \"prima facie ground for believing\", and also because there is no limit fixed for the period of detention in Hospital. In the case of scarlet fever etc., the detention is limited by the fact that the risk of infection is over after a certain comparatively short time. In the case of syphilis the period during which the patient may be said to be \"suffering from the disease\", or at any rate when the patient is liable to give the disease to others, is quite indefinite, and may vary from six months to two or more years.\n\n## II. As to the Straits. \nThe Governor appointed a Committee which took evidence on the question. It is not necessary to criticise this evidence in detail, as it hardly touches the question referred to the Governor by Mr. Chamberlain, viz: in what way rules similar to the Indian Cantonment Regulations could be applied to the Colony. The witnesses were questioned principally as to the results of the repeal of the C.D. Ordinance and the advisability of re-enacting some such Ordinance. That question Mr. Chamberlain has already decided in the negative. Most of the statistics given by the witnesses are inconclusive because of an absence of such considerations as increase of population, and also because e.g. in the case of Chinese males and the Tan Tock Seng Hospital it seems to be assumed that the increased admissions for venereal disease are wholly due to an increase in the number of Chinese in the Colony affected by that disease; whereas it is in part at any rate accounted for by the fact that the Chinese are beginning more and more to take advantage generally of our hospitals.\n\nI note one extraordinary statement as to the method of carrying out the compulsory examinations under the old Ordinance. The doctors seem to have competed with one another as to the speed with which they could examine women; the record being 120 women per hour! Such a proceeding shows what a farce these examinations were. It is absurd to suppose that examining two women a minute could afford any guarantee as to their state of health. Moreover, such hasty work must have rendered antiseptic precautions impossible, with the probable result which I believe has been noted in other countries, that the disease was conveyed from one woman to another by the examining surgeon.\n\nThe evidence tends to show that there is a growing tendency, though of very slow development, on the part of these women to take advantage of some sort of medical treatment, either from Chinese or English practitioners, or from the Government hospitals. This tendency is only what was to be expected; and it is also supported by the only systematic statistics bearing on the subject, viz: the Army Medical Returns. I annex a Manuscript Return obtained from the War Office of the figures for the last eleven years. In 1888 the Ordinance was repealed. This was followed by a very considerable rise in the ratio per thousand of total admissions, in the year 1889. The years 1890 to 1894 show a steady fall; in 1895 again there was a big rise, but that is explained by the Senior (Military) Medical Officer as being not due to anything in Singapore itself, but as having chiefly occurred in a battalion which arrived from India early in the year and accounted for more than half the admissions. Since 1895 there has been a very marked fall, from 625 to 368 per thousand as stated in the Army Medical Report for 1897.\n\nIt is true that the 1897 figures in the Straits are distinctly higher than the figures when the Ordinance was in force.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 368259, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12]", "page_number": 80, "title": "CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12]", "content_text": "77 \n\nin force; the average of admissions per thousand for S.S. and Hong Kong during the nine years from 1879 to 1887 inclusive being 178.06.\n\nBut the case for taking special measures in the Straits is not particularly strong; and surely no great harm could arise from allowing the present voluntary system to remain in force for some time longer, to see how far the gradual improvement will continue.\n\nI suggest this especially because the O.A.G. and the Committee's report enclosed in the Straits despatch are strongly opposed to attempting anything on the lines of the Indian rules. I confess I think that most of the reasons given by the Committee in the marked passage on page 55 are very forcible, if not conclusive, against the adoption of any such system for the Colony.\n\n(the two were not separate in returns)\n\n-960.11 \np.54 print \nP. 79.\n\nThere are some statements in the evidence not contradicted, as to the unattractiveness and discomfort of the voluntary Lock Hospital. I think it possible that something might be done to make this Government Hospital more attractive, especially by putting it in charge of a lady doctor; and I hope that Mr. Chamberlain will adhere to his suggestion on this point, notwithstanding Sir James Swettenham's objections.\n\nIII.\n\nAs to the Native States, the O.A.G. forwards a separate despatch. This despatch encloses a strongly worded minute by Sir Frank Swettenham, protesting against the abolition of the old system in the Malay States. He drags in the wishes of the Sultans into the matter; but as the system was only applied to Chinese brothels and Chinese prostitutes, and is not a system previously known to Malays, or in use, indeed, in any Mohammedan country, I cannot see that the views of these Malay chiefs have any special value.\n\nSee also his previous memo. on the subject at p.10 of H.C. 146 1894. \nP.83.\n\nI submit that he has not shown any reason for dealing with Chinese in the Native States differently from Chinese in the Colony.\n\nMr. Hare's memorandum is more important, being a strong plea in favour of registering brothels for the sake of improving the position of the unfortunate inmates. In so far as he wishes to restore the system of registration merely for the purpose of making the houses more sanitary, I cannot see that there is any ground for applying any special sanitary law to these houses more than to all other Chinese houses. Surely the matter should be dealt with by passing building laws, as at Hong Kong, containing the ordinary sanitary provisions.\n\nAs to the desirability of registering these places for the sake of protecting women from cruel treatment and practical slavery, Mr. Hare's arguments would appear forcible if it were not for the fact that we tried to protect them under a registration system at Hong Kong and Singapore for many years, and the results were not much, if at all, more favourable for the women when brothels were registered than they have been since the registration system was abolished. In fact, according to the reports of the Chinese Protectorate at Singapore and the Registrar General at Hong Kong, a larger number of girls have been assisted during the years 1895-7 than in the three previous years, when Registration was in force.\n\nIt will be seen that Mr. Hare reports that Chinese women loath the system of compulsory medical examination. (And on this point Mr. Hare is probably better qualified to speak than some of the Straits witnesses who expressed a contrary opinion). This is also borne out by the fact that in Hong Kong when the C.D.O. was in force, only women in brothels were visited.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 368260, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12]", "page_number": 81, "title": "CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12]", "content_text": "## IV\n\nAt Hong Kong the figures given by the China Association in 4718 and supported by the annexed tabular statement furnished by the Army Medical Department are more serious than at the S.S. There has been a more or less continuous increase in the amount of disease since the Act was repealed in 1889. But considering the great fluctuations that have taken place in the S.S. it would not be surprising if the 1898 figures show a decrease.\n\nIn the Army Medical Report for 1897, certain reasons are given for the excessive prevalence of venereal disease, which are altogether apart from the repeal of the C.D.O. I hope the War Office will attend to the suggestions made in this Report, and spend a little more money on making the barrack shore attractive, and giving the men recreation rooms. Those suggestions, however, are wholly for the War Office to consider.\n\np. 86 \nPp.152-3 \np.35 (C.8919) \nC-8538 \nC-8919\n\nThe O.A.G. does not appear to be any more in favour of the kind of legislation proposed by Mr. Chamberlain than Sir J.A. Swettenham; but he has complied with the Secretary of State's instructions to prepare an Ordinance on the lines indicated. He sends home two of the Indian Cantonment Regulations, draft Ordinances; one dealing with venereal disease, the other with contagious and infectious diseases generally.\n\nIt is obviously more convenient that the special provisions dealing with venereal disease should be incorporated in a special Ordinance. No necessity has been shown for amending the existing laws dealing with contagious and infectious diseases in general. I therefore proceed to criticise the first Hong Kong draft Ordinance. It goes far beyond the Indian Regulations, inasmuch as it creates several new offences with heavy penalties attached. If an Ordinance is to be passed, the Ceylon draft, with the amendments suggested above, is much less objectionable.\n\nI will not criticise the Hong Kong draft in detail, but I notice the following more important points:\n\nA. Section 2 contains a curious definition of premises, including, inter alia, buildings etc., \"occupied by non-Asiatics who are not prostitutes\". This definition is intended to save European householders from the operation of section 3; but I understood Mr. Chamberlain to propose to make the provisions of universal application. However, section 3 of the draft Ordinance, which introduces the principle of notification of these diseases - an absolutely novel principle in English law, - as regards these diseases is based on a clause in the draft Indian Cantonment Regulations, which is altogether omitted in the Regulations as finally...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 368261, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12]", "page_number": 82, "title": "CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12]", "content_text": "79 \n\nfinally issued in India. I do not know why the clause was omitted, but I presume that the doctors protested against it so far as it concerned them, and that the remaining provisions were considered unworkable, which at any rate seems exceedingly probable. I hope that Mr. Chamberlain will not allow the clause in Hong Kong.\n\nB. \n\nIt is surely inadvisable to put the working of such an Ordinance into the hands of the Captain Superintendent of Police. It would be better, and more on the lines of the Indian Regulations to let it be worked throughout by Medical Officers, as in the Ceylon draft Ordinance. The police have difficulties and temptations enough in connection with the suppression of gambling and other matters, and ought not to have this additional burden on their shoulders. Health questions are more suitably dealt with by health officers.\n\nC. Section 9 does not carry out the Secretary of State's instructions, which were that \"power should be given\" for the head of the police to take proceedings for the closing of any brothel, and not merely one which is used \"to the annoyance of the respectable inhabitants of the vicinity\". This section should be amended as altered in pencil on p.97 of print.\n\nD. Section 12, as to the temporary closing of a brothel, should not be allowed. It is unnecessary since we have power to close brothels permanently; and is objectionable, because when permission is given to open the house again, it may be taken as practically licensing the brothel.\n\nE. \n\nThe clauses as to banishment go beyond anything in the Indian Regulations; and Section 13 in particular is unprecedented, as it gives power for the banishment of a British subject from part of Her Majesty's Dominions. This is, I believe, wholly unconstitutional, and we should explain that the paragraph in Mr. Chamberlain's despatch was not intended to apply to British subjects.\n\nI send this on to Mr. Chamberlain to be seen by him before the deputation comes on Friday. I have privately given the expectation that they should, if possible, suggest some practical alternative to the ... suggestion - which is not likely to be entertained - that the old acts should be reenacted.\n\nAs to registration of brothels see pages 83-7 of the enclosed print. The writer is reputed to have more knowledge of Chinese than any other government officer in the Malay Peninsula. See also pp.51-2 of the Parliamentary Paper of '94, showing a change in Chinese opinion in Hongkong on the abolition of registration before it was an accomplished fact.\n\nCPL 22 March\n\nGulmer au ret\n\nThe reports from the 3 Colonies as to the possible efficacy of any measures for the suppression of brothels... \n\n## appears to be missing some text here, no further text is given to continue the sentence.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 368262, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12]", "page_number": 83, "title": "CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12]", "content_text": "## Scandal \n\nI think a representation should be made for the hotels as the out home checking brothel slavery which is a scandal in 4 British Colonies.\n\nI should be disposed to discuss the dress brothel, any change requiring considerable alterations before they could be enacted for legislation.\n\nCertainly they would have had to insert permission in the matter of policy.\n\n### 22 March \n\nAt our meeting on the 27th instant with Sir Cecil Clementi, I understand that it was decided that any penalty should not at present be imposed as is imposed by a male person habitually living on the profits of prostitution, such as by the Imperial Statute 61 & 62 Vict. Chap 39 (Vagrancy Act 1898). But it was proposed that we should give the Protector of Chinese in the Straits and the Registrars General in Hong Kong wide powers to inquire whether the inmates or keeper of any brothel were being held against their will or suffering from contagious disease.\n\nThe question was also raised whether we should impose any punishment on the prostitute herself for acting as such while suffering from contagious disease, and whether we should punish anyone who, while in a diseased state, visits a brothel for the purpose of prostitution.\n\nIn the draft amendments to the Hong Kong Ordinances which I have circulated, I have not at present imposed punishment on the woman prostitute or the man acting as such, or on anyone visiting a brothel while suffering from disease, because I think that the powers that the Ordinances provide suffice. I dealt with the matter regarding the wishes of the Legislative Council.\n\nIt was also decided that cumulative penalties should be imposed on brothel keepers for second and subsequent offences, and that the power to banish or monitor should also be considered. The question of cruelty in brothels was decided, I think, to be left to the law with the provisions of the Criminal Code, which would probably be sufficient.\n\nTaking first the Straits Ordinance XVII of 1896 entitled \"The Women's and Girls' Protection Ordinance, 1896,\" I propose to insert after section 6 the following section:\n\n\"6. If the keeper of any brothel permits any person suffering from any contagious disease to be or remain in such brothel for the purpose of prostitution, such keeper shall be guilty of an offence. And shall be liable on conviction before the Supreme Court or Magistrates to imprisonment for a term not exceeding one year or to a fine not exceeding five hundred dollars or to both. And if any such keeper of a brothel, not being a natural-born British subject, who has been previously convicted of an offence under this section, shall again be found...\"", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 368263, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12]", "page_number": 84, "title": "CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12]", "content_text": "## guilty gang \n\nCommit \n\nmay \n\nArt \n\ntreating \n\nSpence the finerer order banishing \n\next \n\nin such manner as \n\nmay \n\nin \n\nsuch \n\na person from the Colony for such period and generally upon the issuing of such order the like consequences shall ensue in all respects as though such order had been issued under the powers conferred by Banishment Ordinance 1888? \n\nThe \n\nIt will be seen I think that this clause provides both permits banishment and also puts a penalty on the brothel keeper who suffers a person suffering from any contagious disease to remain in a brothel for the purpose of prostitution. \n\nIf it seems to me that without specifically providing that the woman who is suffering from a contagious disease shall be guilty of an offence be taken to hospital and there detained this clause will probably produce the same result without raising opposition because the brothel keeper has entire control of these women and is forced to drive them out they have no place to go to except the Hospital or Refuge \n\nThis recurs to me to make it unnecessary to insert Clauses 9 and 10 of the Indian Cantonment Regulations of 1897. P.P. [C-8919]. Those Regulations provide power to call upon a person suffering from a contagious disease to attend at the hospital, but under section 13(5)(8)(1) of the Straits Ordinance, the Protector of Chinese already has power to summon any person before him whom he may have reason to believe has any information respecting any brothel or inmate also call upon such person to produce the woman or girl. It therefore seems to me that the result obtained by the Cantonment Regulations is less objectionable in that way because the onus is put upon the brothel keeper and not upon the prostitute. \n\nI also propose in the Straits Ordinance to make the power of search that is given by section 12 in Part III, general, as to enable searching for brothel or women suffering from contagious diseases or for the purpose of discovering whether any offence under the Ordinance is being committed. Therefore in clause 12(1) omit the words \"of Part II\" and insert after the word \"Ordinance\", the following \"or in which he has reasonable cause to suspect that an offence under this Ordinance is being committed\". In section 12(2) omit the words \"of Part II\" and insert after \"Ordinance\" \"or whether any offence under this Ordinance is being committed\". \n\nI propose further to insert after clause 17 the following clause: - \n\n\"Upon complaint laid before a Magistrate by the Inspector General of Police or the Protector of Chinese that any brothel or portion thereof is used by prostitutes or disorderly persons or as a lodging house for prostitutes or disorderly persons a Magistrate shall have and exercise summary jurisdiction in respect thereof; and it shall be lawful for a Magistrate to issue a summons to the tenant, occupier or keeper of the house or portion thereof of which complaint is made, and upon the hearing of the case,", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 368264, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12]", "page_number": 85, "title": "CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12]", "content_text": "## \nIf the Magistrate is satisfied that the house or some portion thereof is used in the manner complained of.\n\n9.

This clause we give power to close a brothel without assigning any reason.\n\nIn the Straits Settlements Ordinance XVII of 1897, I should propose to make the following amendments:-\n\nInsert after Clause 14 a new clause as follows:-\n\nEvery person who, being the owner or occupier of any premises having, or acting or assisting in the management or control thereof, permits any person suffering from any contagious disease to be or remain on such premises for the purpose of prostitution shall be guilty of a misdemeanour punishable by imprisonment or banishment.\n\nIt will be unnecessary to add such provisions because under Ordinance VIII of 1882, S.3, the Governor in Council has power to prohibit an alien from residing within the Colony, and it will be sufficient, without legislation, to suggest to the Governor that in the case of a second offence by brothel keepers convicted, he should exercise this power of banishment.\n\nAs regards the power of search, I would insert in place of Section 30 of the Hong Kong Ordinance the provisions of Section 12 of the Straits Ordinance XVII of 1896, as amended in the manner I have suggested above.\n\nWith regard to the closing of brothels, I would insert in the Hong Kong Ordinance the proposed clause for the Straits, substituting the \"Captain Superintendent of Police\" for the \"Protector of Chinese\".\n\nYou will remember that as regards the Native States, Sir Cecil Smith suggested that we should wait to see the result of the proposed changes in the law of Hong Kong and the Straits before corresponding.

I do not, therefore, understand why similar results should not be obtained in the Native states under the Enactments already in force for the protection of women and girls, which are based upon the ...\n\n**MINUTE**\n| Name |\n|------|\n| Mr. Antrobus |\n| Mr. Cox |\n| Mr. Lucas |\n| Mr. Graham |\n| Sir Wingfield |\n| Earl of Selborne |\n| Mr. Chamberlain |\n\nPage 133", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 368318, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12]", "page_number": 139, "title": "CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12]", "content_text": "# \n## \n### \n\nIn due course, I propose to lay this correspondence before Parliament; and I request that you will inform me whether you or the Resident General have any objection to the inclusion of it and its enclosures.\n\nI have, last year, promised in the House that I would forward this correspondence.\n\n### \n\n28466 \n## \n### \nFOR USE IN THE EASTERN OFFICE \nPRINTED FOR COLONIAL OFFICE 10.69 \nPRINTED FOR PARLIAMENT 6.9523 Oct 1899 \n\n## \n\n2nd April 1899.\n\nI have had under careful consideration Sir J.1.Swattonham's despatch No.4,227 of the 8th August, enclosing the Report of the Committee appointed by you to consider certain suggestions which I had made with reference to the prevalence of venereal disease, and the condition of the inmates of brothels in the Settlements.\n\n2.

These facts and conditions are as follows: The Contagious Diseases Acts were repealed in this country in deference to a strong expression of public opinion. Whether that opinion was well or ill-founded, judicious or the reverse, it is unnecessary now to inquire. The fact remains that the Acts were repealed, and that similar laws in the Crown Colonies and India were subsequently repealed. \n\nIn 1894 the legislation in the Straits Settlements which provided for the registration of brothels was also repealed. I am therefore asked - not merely to allow certain existing laws but to take the stronger step of reviving laws which a few years since were deliberately, after much discussion, abolished.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 368320, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12]", "page_number": 141, "title": "CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12]", "content_text": "281 \n\n136 \n\n6. \n\nIn justification of such a course strong **evidence** has been laid before me of the growth of disease and the prevalence of other abuses since the Ordinances were abolished, and the opinion of responsible men on the spot - the men both official and unofficial to whom I should naturally look for information and guidance on local questions - is mainly, if not unanimously, to the effect that the result of repealing the Ordinances has been disastrous.\n\nI recognise the fact that there has been an increase of disease since the Ordinances were repealed; and it may also be true that there has been an increase of brothel slavery: but on the latter point I notice from the reports of the Protector of Chinese at Kowloon as well as of the Registrar General at Hong Kong, that there has been at least as much rescue work done since registration was abolished, as in the preceding years.\n\n7. I admit that the fact that certain laws are or are not in force in the United Kingdom is not in itself a sufficient reason for applying or abolishing similar laws in tropical Colonies differing from the mother country in climate, race, social, moral and religious conditions. Further, I am not prepared to deny that one way of meeting the evil to which my attention has been called would be the renewal of the repealed Ordinances, if their renewal met with general sanction: but here again I must repeat that respect must be had to existing facts. It is certain that to such renewal there would be in this country a very strong opposition.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 368321, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12]", "page_number": 142, "title": "CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12]", "content_text": "## \n8. Accordingly, I adhere to the decision, given in my despatch No.35 of the 18th of February, 1898, that I cannot sanction the reintroduction of any system involving either the compulsory and periodical examination of women, or the registration of brothels or of prostitutes, but I consider that other means may be adopted, which there is reason to hope will prove in some measure effectual.\n\n9. I observe from the evidence given before the Committee that the inmates of brothels are in one way or another, although very slowly, beginning to take advantage of medical treatment; but the great difficulty appears to be that the brothel keepers in many cases prevent the women from going to hospital, and compel them to practise prostitution while suffering from disease. I am therefore of opinion that it is desirable to amend \"the Women and Girls' Protection Ordinance 1896\" by making such conduct on the part of brothel keepers an offence.\n\n10. This might be done by inserting after section 6 of the Ordinance the following new clause:- \n\"(6A) If the keeper of a brothel permits any woman suffering from any contagious disease to be or remain in such brothel for the purpose of prostitution, such...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 368322, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12]", "page_number": 143, "title": "CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12]", "content_text": "# 138\n\n*A* keeper shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction before the Supreme Court or a Court of two Magistrates, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding one year or to a fine not exceeding five hundred dollars or to both; and if any keeper of a brothel, not being a natural born British subject, who has been previously convicted of an offence under this section shall again be found guilty of such an offence, the Governor in Council may issue an Order banishing such person from the Colony for such period and generally in such manner as may seem expedient; and upon the issuing of such order, the like consequences shall ensue in all respects as though such order had been issued under the powers conferred by \"The Banishment Ordinance, 1888\". This clause, it will be seen, puts a penalty upon any brothel keeper who permits a woman suffering from any contagious disease to remain in a brothel for the purpose of prostitution.\n\nI should hope that by thus putting the penalty upon the brothel keeper and not upon the prostitute, the effect of clauses 9 and 10 of the Indian Cantonment Regulations of 1897 will be produced in a manner more suitable to the conditions of the Colony, and that the result will be that the brothel keeper will, in self-defence, send the prostitute who is suffering from disease to the hospital or to the refuge.\n\n12. The power of search given by Section 12 of the Ordinance should be extended, and for this purpose, in Section 12(1), the words \"of Part II\" should be omitted, and after the word \"Ordinance\" the following...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 368323, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12]", "page_number": 144, "title": "CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12]", "content_text": "## AU \n## TCI \n### 8E1 \n### 139 \n### 3 \n\nA noted moldov ... dara to 49%. \n\n... words should be inserted \"or in which he has reason~* able cause to suspect that an offence under this Ordinance is being committed\". \n\nSimilarly in Section 12(2) the words \"of Part II\" should be omitted and after the word \"ordinance\" should be inserted the words \"or whether any offence under this Ordinance is being committed”. \n\n13. I adhere to the opinion expressed in the last paragraph of my despatch of the 18th of February 1898, that the Government should have power to close any brothel without assigning a reason. Such power could then be exercised as it is in this country closing brothels in undesirable situations, or the keepers of which have in any way offended against the law. For this purpose the following clause should be inserted after Section 17: - \n\n\"Upon complaint laid before a Magistrate by the Inspector General of Police or by the Protector of Chinese that any house or portion thereof is used as a brothel or lodging house for prostitutes or disorderly persons, it shall be lawful for a Magistrate to issue a summons to the tenant, occupier or keeper of the house or portion thereof of which complaint is made, and upon the hearing of the case if the Magistrate is satisfied that the house or some portion thereof is used in the manner complained of, he may order the tenant, occupier or keeper to discontinue such use of it, and if such order is not complied with within such time as the Magistrate may by his order fix, the Magistrate may ... \n\n\"IT \n\n\"aprox ade.

(Colonial Regulations, § 430.)\n\nHead 3.--State the description of Allowance for which the Application is recommended, viz., Superannuation, Compensation, Compassionate Allowance, or Gratuity, and its amount. In the case of Persons claiming an addition to their Pension in respect of Professional or other special qualifications, this should be stated, and a reference should be given to the authority under which the claim is made.\n\nHead 5.-If the service has been interrupted by one or more breaks, the word \"broken\" should be added before or after the number of years and months, and the causes, dates, and circumstances of the break or breaks should be stated under heading 9.\n\n## DRAFT DESPATCH\n\nHong Kong\n\nGovernor\n\nNo. 2\n\nSin Ha Blake\n\n| Minute dated...\n\nHead 6.-If the person retiring has been in receipt of the same Salary, or in the class from which he retires, for the three months immediately before the date of his retirement, the actual annual rate of Salary or Wages at that date should be inserted, preceded by the word \"actual.\" In other cases the average annual amount of Salary or Wages for the three months next preceding the date of retirement should be inserted, preceded by the word \"average,\" but if the period of service is less than three years, then the average for the whole period of service should be inserted.\n\nHead 7-A separate statement should be inserted of the average Annual Value, for the 36 months immediately preceding retirement, of each Emolument (exclusive of salary or wages) which is claimed to be included in the calculation of the Pension or Gratuity.\n\nHatches &\n\nWhenever the value of a House or House Allowance, so ascertained, exceeds one-sixth of the salary and of the emoluments which count for Pension purposes, it is to be reduced to one-sixth of that amount, so that it shall not exceed one-seventh of the whole.\n\nMr. Cor.\n\nMr. Lucas.\n\nInaened\n\nSir,\n\nMy Lord,\n\nDowning Street,\n\nSee 1991 3 Jan 99\n\nI have the honour to\n\nFir\n\n6.

The net receipts are to be ascertained by deducting from the gross amount of Fees such Office Expenses, &c., as an Officer may have had to defray from his own resources, in performing the services for which he was remunerated by Fees. No deduction, however, from the Fees should be made in respect of Office Expenses provided from Public Funds, for the due discharge of those duties to which a Fixed Salary is annexed. Papers of \"Particulars\" when forwarded to the Colonial Department should be accompanied by formal Declarations from the retiring Officers, showing the amount received by them for Fees, and the amount defrayed as above for Office Expenses, &c., in each of the three years immediately preceding the retirement. It will be the duty of the Colonial Governments concerned to satisfy themselves of the accuracy of such statements before forwarding them to the Colonial Office. In the case of Officers receiving Fixed Salaries and Fees, the Fees will not in ordinary circumstances be allowed to count for Pension purposes to the extent of more than one quarter of the Salaries, and Fees will not in any case be allowed to count for Pension purposes during any period in which the whole time of the Officer receiving them was not given to the Public Service.\n\nHead 8.--In cases of infirmity, if the Applicant is below the ordinary age for retirement, a Medical Certificate is to be furnished showing that he is disqualified by infirmity of mind or body for discharging the duties of his situation, and that such infirmity is likely to be permanent.\n\nIn case of ten years' service or more, this Certificate should be signed by two Officers, of whom at least one should, if possible, be a Salaried Officer of the Government.\n\nHead 9.--As to \"broken\" service, see Head 5.\n\nIf the Applicant has had any \"acting\" service, the details must be fully given, with a statement whether or not during the \"acting\" service, he was connected with the permanent Civil Service of the Colony.\n\nHead 11.-If, in special circumstances, a professional Civil Officer has been allowed to have \"private practice\" without forfeiting his claim to Pension, the facts are to be fully stated.\n\nHead 14-If the Applicant is liable to any deduction from his service under Clause 102 of the Colonial Regulations, the facts should be fully stated.\n\nHead 19.--The length of service and other particulars of the computation are to be given.

BUCKLE (Clerk of Councils).\n\nThis being the Acting Governor's last appearance at the Council meeting, a number of ladies and gentlemen belonging to the outside public attended.\n\n## THE ACTING-GOVERNOR'S FAREWELL\n\nHis Excellency MAJOR GENERAL BLACK, before the commencement of the ordinary business, said: -- All business firms, whether large or small, take stock once a year, and call a momentary halt to see how they stand before girding up their loins for the work of the coming year. Governments, which are but large business firms working for the public weal, in the same way review each year their position, and not only put forward their balance sheet but indicate with modest satisfaction schemes which have run smoothly and well, and gloss over those which, however well laid, though they may have gone agley. I take, then, no unusual course in asking you to listen while I briefly touch upon some of the events which have made the ten months I have had the honour to hold the reins more eventful than many like periods of your past history.\n\nAlthough less severe than in 1894, the Plague has this year claimed 1,163 victims out of 1,320 stricken. Wisely abandoning the too stringent application of Western methods, the Government erected suitable hospital buildings at Kennedytown, placed them in charge of the Tungwa Hospital, and induced the Chinese to carry their sick to that benevolent institution. While deeply deploring the loss by this dread visitation, I am glad to congratulate the medical profession, and the other Government officials whose duty connected them with the suppression of the plague, for the strenuous and unselfish efforts with which they carried out their humane duties. Three of the sisters caught the infection at the post of duty, of whom two died, giving up their lives as nobly as men who die on the field amid the din and excitement of battle. (Applause.)\n\nThe outbreak of war between Spain and America --- two countries in friendly relations with England --- threw on this Government the onerous task of maintaining the laws of neutrality. A little island stored with good coal, and all the munitions of war in great abundance lying off a coast indented with harbours, is naturally a convenient spot where belligerents might replenish their stores of coal and food, and it is a source of satisfaction to this Government that, thanks to the energy and tact with which the officials carried out their duties, the laws of neutrality were strictly enforced, and yet the end of the war found us on as friendly terms with either belligerent as at the beginning. The changes that this war may bring may deeply affect this colony, but they still lie in the future and are not yet within our ken.\n\nA social incident not without its bearing on a great national movement was the arrival in Hongkong of a German Prince charged for the first time with high command in Eastern waters. The Prince of Prussia would have found a welcome for his own sake. Courteous, kind, and capable, yet every inch a Prince, he was welcomed by the whole community of Hongkong, and the English inhabitants did not forget in their welcome that he and his wife are grandchildren of our beloved Queen. (Applause.)\n\nHongkong has long felt the anomaly of its position, with the northern side of its magnificent harbour actually belonging to another power, its forts at the eastern entrance commanded at short rifle range by the Devil's Peak, and the end of its mine fields almost touching the Chinese soil, the Bay of Kowloon within the precincts of its harbour but outside its jurisdiction. In June last, a Convention was signed by which our boundary line is pushed some 13 miles to the north, thus sweeping away these anomalies, giving Hongkong room to expand, and more than all presenting the passing into other hands of the roads of Lantau, and the spacious harbour of Mirs Bay. (Applause.)\n\nMuch interest is naturally felt in Hongkong as to the position of the stations of the Maritime Customs. It seems to me only just and necessary that these should recede with the new boundary --- (Applause) --- for it would be an abdication of sovereignty if a foreign power were allowed to exercise control within British waters. At the same time, I recognise that it is right that we should aid the friendly Government of China in her task of protecting her revenue, made so difficult by the indented nature of the coast line, and to this end, I have suggested that opium should be stored in Government Godowns, and only issued on Government permit.\n\nIn legislation, much useful but unobtrusive work has been done. I may instance --- The Trade Marks Ordinance. The Liquor Licences Ordinance. The Bank Note Ordinance. The increased issue of Bank notes has, from causes well known to you all, been long demanded, and the enlarged circulation is proving a great boon.\n\nThe Queen's Recreation Ground Ordinance is the last in which I have taken a great interest, and I have some right to look upon it as a bantling of my own. The recurrence of the plague has forced on every thinking man the need of letting light and air into the blocks of Chinese houses, which, full of human beings in many cases, literally stand back to back in the City of Victoria, containing rooms into which the sun never enters, and where the fetid air has no motion. Doctors and physic, good though they be by themselves, are powerless to cure, while sun and air are a sure preventive; and great as the task may be of bringing these natural agents into this reeking mass of humanity, their admission must be secured by law. A bill is now before you which I admit does not go far enough, but it will at least be the beginning of a great reform.\n\nMany complaints have been made as to the shortcomings of the Post Office; a great deal of the confusion comes from retrenchment having been carried too far, and from the business having outgrown the building. I have submitted recommendations to the Secretary of State which will, I trust, produce great improvement in the department, in whose well-being every individual is concerned.\n\nNearly allied to the Queen's Recreation Ground is the reservation of the rocky bluff on which stands the boulders called Sung Wang Toi or the \"Watch Towers of the Sung\", which, as far as I can gather, is the only historical monument which links modern history with the old-world time. To make its reservation more certain, I applied to the Secretary of State for leave to bring in a bill to this end, and his permission is now on the sea. I regret that I will not have the pleasure of giving assent to it.\n\nA survey has been made of the Jubilee Road round the Island; it has been traced with gradients easy and offers, in the section between Aberdeen and Deep Water Bay, an important sanitary reform, for part of the scheme is to fill up and turf over the festering inlet to which the leading medical men of the colony point as the source of the malaria which has so long marred the health of Aberdeen and the neighbourhood of Magazine Gap.\n\nI have nothing but the good of the community at heart, and I emphatically state that if you believe medical testimony, it...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 368354, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12]", "page_number": 175, "title": "CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12]", "content_text": "## \n\nduty to do, and affairs taken in hand. Health and pleasure are the wheels of progress, and I may add, of bicycles, more on roads, and in my belief a great strengthening of the defence of this Island will take place when the tracing across the pathless barrier of Mount Cameron and Mount Nicholson is broadened into a road. Shortly after arriving in this colony, I urged the Government to take this in hand on public grounds, and it is with great pleasure that by an agreement effected, on my representation, this boon to the pleasure of the colony and to its defence may be expected shortly to begin. I can hardly teach you much about finance; the revenue is increasing, the financial position is sound, and taxation is light; but costly works lie ahead. New Law Courts, New General Post Office, a new Government Residence at the Peak and other public works for which money will have to be provided; in fact, the cry is ever \"Onward,\" and I have no doubt that under the able Director, the public works of the future will be as magnificent and useful as those undertaken in the past. It is beyond my province to do more than allude to the great dramas that have been and are being enacted around us. We live in a history-making epoch, and changes are now in progress which will powerfully affect the future destinies of the five great nations of the world. Little Hong Kong is not far removed from the centre of action, and its rulers may have a word to say to the shaping of events. Sir Henry Blake will shortly arrive to assume the reins of government, and I congratulate the colony on having secured a chief so able and so experienced, and have no doubt that the colony will advance under his wise rule. I cannot retire from the Presidency of this Council without thanking the Honourable Members for the zeal and attention which they have brought to bear on all matters submitted to them and for the kindly spirit which has animated all their dealings with me. I have much pleasure in acknowledging the loyal and willing co-operation with which the Colonial Secretary and the other official members have worked with me in our joint task of carrying out the administration of the colony. (Applause).\n\nThe Hon. C. P. CHATER-Your Excellency, on behalf of my colleagues and myself, the unofficial members, I have to thank you indeed very much for what you have been pleased to say about us, and I should like to offer a few remarks on this occasion, being the last you will preside over this Council as Officer Administering the Government. During the 10 months you have filled the chair, you have always shown unfailing tact in the conduct of the business of the Council and the utmost consideration for its members, and we have now to thank you for that consideration and courtesy. Your Excellency has during the tenure of your office as Acting Governor been called upon to exercise a good deal of nice discrimination in several matters, and you have never spared time or trouble in connection with the affairs of the colony. Your term of administration, it is interesting to remember, will always be memorable in our local annals as the year in which the extension of the boundaries of the colony was secured, and the part you have taken in connection therewith will be a pleasant recollection to you when you are far away. In taking leave of your Excellency as the President of the Council, I trust you will have an equally useful field for your energies in some other part of our very wide Empire-(hear, hear)-and that your sterling qualities will be as highly and as fully appreciated as they are in this colony. (Applause.)\n\nHon. HO KAI-Your Excellency, as senior representative of the Chinese, perhaps I will be permitted to add a few remarks to those that have fallen from the senior unofficial member. On behalf of the Chinese, I would acknowledge to your Excellency that they appreciate your wise and benevolent administration to the fullest extent, and the only regret the Chinese community have is that that reign, so beneficent and so conducive to their welfare, is all but too short. When you vacate the chair of this Council, when you leave the administration of the Government, the Chinese will feel that they will have lost a wise ruler as well as a true friend. Personally, I have to thank your Excellency for the many kind acts that you have shown towards myself and my colleagues, thus rendering what otherwise would be a difficult task, to represent the Chinese in this Council, an easy matter and also a pleasant one. I can assure your Excellency that long afterwards we will remember your kindness to us, and also the support and assistance you have given to us in our public capacity and shown us in our private intercourse. (Applause.)\n\nThe ACTING COLONIAL SECRETARY-Before proceeding with the business of the day, I am sure your Excellency will excuse me if I say that the official members of this Council are very much indebted to your Excellency for the very kind terms in which your Excellency has spoken of the co-operation and zeal with which the official members of this Council have worked with your Excellency. I do not think I am flattering the Civil Service of this colony when I say that loyal co-operation with all its Governors, and zeal to carry out measures conducive to the welfare of the colony are marks of the Civil Service of this colony. I think I may go a little further than merely offer the warmest thanks of the official members and make myself spokesman of the whole Civil Service. Many of them have not been, perhaps, brought into personal contact with your Excellency, but the manner in which you have ruled, and given your decisions, and the gentlemanly and firm way in which you have held the reins of office cannot but be admired by the members of our service. (Applause.)\n\nThe business of the meeting was then proceeded with.\n\nPage 170", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 368355, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12]", "page_number": 176, "title": "CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12]", "content_text": "# DRAFT\nHongkong No 13\nSir H.

In the interests of Commerce it is vitally necessary that the position of the Colony of Hong Kong as the natural centre and focus for the trade of the Seven Keyang provinces should never be lost sight of in considering any claims to \"Spheres of Influence\" that may be put forward either now or in the future.\n\n2. Hong Kong, through a line of railway connecting first with Canton and eventually with Nanchow and thence on to its other relies Wuhan and Hankow, and Harbin, is in a position to directly tap the very heart of commercial China.\n\n3. The trade of Hong Kong, now roughly estimated at some fifty millions sterling per annum, may, when the river is opened and the railways of South China are constructed, be expected to expand immensely.\n\n4. The geographical situation of Hong Kong, lying half-way between India and Japan, on the very borders of one of the most populous provinces of China, and at the mouth of one of the greatest systems of inland Navigation in Asia, is of supreme importance to British trade. Any scheme or policy that loses even partial sight of its unique advantages ought not to commend itself to the attention of the British Government.\n\n5. That, however important the trade of the United Kingdom...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 368375, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-286 -

Trade throughout China should be freed from all inland and unports, one tax payable at the port of entry sufficing to frank goods to their destination.\n\nB. - That the dual system of Customs should be abolished, and a contribution to the Imperial Treasury be made out of the revenues of the Imperial Maritime Customs.\n\nC. - In view of the lawless condition of the Far East, it should be strongly impressed on the Chinese Government that rigorous measures should be promptly taken to put down brigandage and restore order throughout the provinces.\n\nD. -

But he claims to have done the same work, and that it was heavy. Next year he had special Plague Sanitary and store-yard duties in February 1894 and applied for leave. (He had never had any leave in all the 13 years of his service. If leave must be found for him, in order to enable his assistant to take a holiday \"of which he was in absolute need\") and was reported for being absent from duty without leave at the end of the day, the cause being alcoholism. His four days' indiscretion in 1894 was referred to and had been passed over with a caution; this could not be done again. A majority of the Council carried a recommendation to mercy, and on 31 January, in view of Mr. Crow's excellent work, the state of his health, and the fact that although he had obtained leave of absence he had foregone it, decided on leniency, and Sir William Robinson concurred \"with much hesitation.\" He received a severe reprimand and was told that this was expressly the last time he would be let off; and he was not to receive pay for the period of his interdiction from office, as well as losing his increase in salary.\n\nHe came back on a long leave of six months in all. He returned in July last, and was brought to hospital on the 2nd of December, having been picked up in the road. The Executive Council heard his defence and unanimously decided that he should be suspended from office.\n\nIt transpired that he had spoken to the Medical Officer about being examined by a Medical Board, but had not pressed it as he would have had to arrange for employment in England for the time being. I have no doubt that the strain of 13 years' service without coming home is responsible for the interference, but I do not think that it extenuates the suspension and approve his dismissal from the public service.\n\nThe Governor states that Mr. Crow intends memorializing the Secretary of State, and I think the final decision might be left till then. The reason for disposing of the case in such a hurry is not clear. The Governor's despatch is written 34 days after the Executive Council was held.\n\nThe fact that Mr. Crow is receiving a small allowance is not serious. We can telegraph after the receipt of the memorial.\n\nPage 224", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 368411, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12]", "page_number": 232, "title": "CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12]", "content_text": "## Government House, Hong-Kong, 16th December, 1898.\n\n225\n\nWith reference to Sir William Robinson's despatch No.149 of the 30th June, 1896, and to your reply thereto No.166 of the 7th August following, I regret to have to report that Mr. W.

I attribute the present state of my health to the attack of typhoid fever from which I suffered in 1894. I had not been out of bed more than a fortnight when the first outbreak of Plague occurred. To go on leave then was quite out of the question. In the following year I was ordered down to the Sanitary Board on special service in connection with the second outbreak of plague and it was not until July 1896 that I was able to take a portion of the three years' leave that had accumulated in my favour.\n\n7. During the time I was on leave in England I was in a low nervous state of health and since my return to this Colony the symptoms described above have recurred in full force.\n\n8. In addition to the above I may mention that I attended as a guest at the popular social function on the 30th ultimo and this combined with the statement of having to have recourse to stimulants to enable me to carry on my work accounts entirely for the condition in which I was found on the 2nd instant.\n\n9.

By the end of 1888 he had had 1 year 94 months five half-pay leave with only six years resident service (`147822`). 21 March 1889 (exactly apparently because he was assisting a great deal in revising Laws) his half-pay leave was extended to six years and he had only apparently about four months half-pay leave.

Carrington, Chief Justice, to prepare during his projected leave of absence in 1899 a revised Edition of the Laws of the Colony, I have communicated to the Chief Justice your views on the subject.\n\n2. The third paragraph of your despatch raises a very important point on the subject of leave on which I shall be glad to have a clear pronouncement. I have always interpreted Colonial Regulation 119 as referring to the first six years of an officer's service in the Colonies, and that a public officer having served six years in any Colony would be entitled to leave in any Colony to which he might be transferred even though he had not completed six years service in that Colony.

The point is also important in its bearing upon the transfer of officers from one Colony to another as if the regulation be interpreted as suggested in the paragraph in question it would be a matter of grave consideration whether even an offer of promotion should be accepted that would involve the abandonment of acquired privilege of half pay leave.
