Pitman to-day, Mr J. J. Francis, who, instructed by Messrs Brereton & Wotton, appears for the defendant, by special permission of the Court granted at the last sitting, moved ex parte on behalf of the defendant for a rule addressed to \"the Honourable Edward Loughlin O'Malley, Attorney General of Hongkong, and Alfred Bulmer Johnson, Esquire, the Acting Crown Solicitor of Hongkong, to shew cause why they should not inform this Honourable Court and the defendant whether this case is or is not a private prosecution, and whether Mr Hayllar, Q.C., is conducting this case on behalf of the Crown or on behalf of Mr Horace Harrington Nelson, a private prosecutor; and why in default this cause should not be struck out of the list and the defendant be discharged from his recognizance.\"\n\nMr Francis said these proceedings were entirely ex parte, and it was quite within his Lordship's power to grant this. There were so few precedents it was difficult to say what form the proceedings should take in default, whether the Attorney General should be ordered to enter a nolle prosequi.\n\nHis Lordship referred the learned counsel to the case of the King v. Hodeon, for embezzlement. Order was made for certain information to be made and the trial to be put off.\n\nIn the same way in the King v. Harwood, and another case mentioned. That seemed to be the rule, but objection might be taken to that. He supposed they would come to a trial in this matter at last, but really he did not know.\n\nWe understand that yesterday a letter was written by Mr Nelson's solicitors to the solicitors for the defendant, giving them the information required, which letter and information were accepted by them as satisfactory.\n\nThis letter, which was not read out in Court, and the purport of which we are not therefore privileged to indicate, was handed this morning by the Chief Justice to Mr Francis, his Lordship desiring to know whether it was satisfactory.\n\nMr Francis: Your Lordship has seen this letter,\n\nThe Chief Justice: I know nothing about it. I know nothing about any letter. It was addressed to my clerk, which it ought not to have been; but now I know nothing about it whatever. If you had been satisfied with it, it would, of course, have been all well and good.\n\nMr Francis said it was not satisfactory. Mr Johnson: It was accepted as satisfactory by the solicitors for the defendant.\n\nMr Francis: It is not satisfactory to me. The Chief Justice: Then any further action you may desire to take in this matter, Mr Francis, must be by motion in open Court.\n\nHis Lordship afterwards intimated that the Court would sit on Friday to hear any such motion, ex parte. He thought of this case that the sooner they were rid of it the better.\n\nThe Court was then adjourned till Friday.\n\n( 21 )\n\n\"Dear Sirs,\n\nRegina v. Pitman.\n\n\"Having regard to this morning's proceedings in Judge's Chambers, it is conceded that in this case, without reference to any general question as to private prosecutions in this Colony, Mr. Nelson is a \"private prosecutor\" within the meaning of Section 8, of 6 and 7 Vic., c. 96, which has been extended to this Colony by Ordinance No. 3 of 1854.\n\n\"We forward a copy of this letter to the Judge's Clerk.\n\nWe are, dear Sirs,\n\nYours faithfully,\n\nSHARP, TOLLER AND JOHNSON.\n\nMessrs Brereton and Wotton.\"\n\nMessrs Brereton and Wotton replied,\n\n\"Notwithstanding our letter of yesterday we are advised by our Counsel that the admission in your letter to me of yesterday that Mr Nelson is a private prosecutor within the meaning of Section 8, of Statute 6 and 7 Vic., Cap. 96, which has been extended to this Colony by Ordinance No. 3 of 1854, is not sufficiently definite for the purposes of the defence, and we must ask you to say categorically whether this case is or is not a private prosecution and whether Mr Hayllar, Q.C., is conducting this prosecution on behalf of Mr Horace Harrington Nelson a private prosecutor, and that your firm as ordinary Solicitors of the Supreme Court of this Colony are prosecuting at the instance and on the instructions of the last named gentleman, and that the prosecution is not being conducted by your Mr A. B. Johnson alone in his capacity of Acting Crown Solicitor.\n\n\"We understand this to be a private prosecution in the strict sense of the term, that is to say, one not initiated, conducted, or paid for by the Crown, but by a private prosecutor acting on an information whose sole imprimatur is the finding of a true bill by a Grand Jury. It is plain that in this case the Attorney General is not acting as the public prosecutor, and that he simply signed the information as representing the functions of a Grand Jury. The fact that he declined to direct the Registrar to summon a Special Jury shews this clearly.\n\n\"Until you can point out the particular purpose of the defence to be served by any information beyond this, we cannot see any reason for replying further to your letter.\n\n\"We shall be glad to receive the defendant's plea and have a day fixed for the trial.\"\n\nMr Francis submitted that the information given in that letter, very cleverly, very subtly worded, was no explanation. The information was not given to which the defendant was entitled.\n\nThe Chief Justice said that if Mr Francis was not satisfied he was entitled to a rule, but he thought both parties were fighting straws. He quite saw the position of the defendant. He desired that, in the event of the case going in his favour, he should be entitled to his costs from the plaintiff. He did not say so in so many words. He submitted to pay costs, but the other side did not.\n\nMr Francis submitted that there were other reasons that rendered it indispensable that the defendant should know with whom he was dealing, whether this was a private or a public prosecution. There was the question of reply, also the question of pleading justification. If by pleading justification his client would expose himself to pay costs, that might just so turn the scale and lead him in his defence not to advise the defendant to do so.\n\nThe Chief Justice did not want any explanation. The defendant at this point had a right to have, and the Court had a right to have a knowledge, now while the result was in nubibus, as to whether this was a prosecution on the result of which costs were to be paid or not. The Court ought not to be driven to discuss that question after the thing had been decided.\n\nThe defendant would get his rule. Mr Francis could draw it up at his own risk. It would be returnable on Monday. He saw no reason why he should hasten this matter. It seemed to be a case in which the parties seemed to wish to protract the amusement as long as they could, but that did not concern him. The rule would be returnable on Monday at 10 o'clock; he presumed there would be a long argument, as they were in regions very little known.\n\nMr Brereton mentioning to his Lordship that had this been an application for a\n\n407", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-192 - Governor Hennessy - 1881 [1-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 338371, "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": "CO129-240 - Public Offices & Others - 1888", "page_number": 299, "title": "CO129-240 - Public Offices & Others - 1888", "content_text": "## Document on Seacroft House and Sandown Barrack Battery\n\nIn the year 1861, various owners' properties were acquired by the Secretary of State under the Defence Act, 1860 (23 & 24 Vict. c. 112), entitled \"An Act to make better provision for acquiring lands for the Defence of the Realm.\"\n\nNo notice was given under sections 7 to 9 of that Act requiring Seacroft House and grounds to be kept free from buildings and other obstructions, and the three-year limit imposed by section 35 within which the powers of removal conferred by section 34 must be exercised has long since expired.\n\nAt the time of the purchase of the Sandown Barrack Battery site in 1861, the site of Seacroft House was occupied by a thatched cottage erected about 1845. The battery was built sometime between 1861 and 1864, the cost being met out of the loan for the national defences. Seacroft House was built in the year 1872. The precise distance from the House to the nearest gun in the battery is 141 feet.\n\nThe battery is a redoubt with ditch and closed gorge. Its present object is to assist in the defence of Sandown Bay from a hostile landing. It mounts five guns which fire seaward. They are at present 64-pounders (muzzle-loading rifled), but it is proposed to mount larger guns. It has been usual to fire blank charges, but it is proposed to fire shot, when the concussion will be somewhat greater. The battery is at present used by the Isle of Wight Artillery Militia.\n\nThe quantity of ammunition to be used for practice firing is prescribed by regulation made by the Secretary of State for War, under section 4 of the Militia Act, 1882. No special means or appliances are adopted for diminishing the force of the concussion.\n\n### Regulation on Notifying Station and Battery Practice\n\n| Regulation | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| R.O. 30 | Practice (Station and Battery). Notice to be given to the neighbourhood regarding. |\n\nWhen practice is about to be carried on from works contiguous to buildings or private property which are likely to be injured by the concussion, due notice of such practice should be given in the neighbourhood, in order that precautionary measures may be taken by owners or occupiers to avoid damage. Notice must be given as circumstances may best determine, either by advertisements in the local newspapers (provided such publications are authorised by regulation), or by the Town Crier, but as little expense as possible should be incurred in so doing. As far as practicable, firing from such places should not take place when the wind is blowing in the direction of the houses or buildings likely to be affected.\n\nNo express authority is given by Parliament for expenditure of Public Funds in compensating for damage done to private property by the gun fire, but there is a vote in the Army Estimates (£2,000 this year), under the head \"Compensation for Losses,\" which it is presumed would be legally applicable for compensating such damage, supposing the Law Officers to consider that claims in respect of it are legal.\n\nIt is difficult, however, to see what remedy at law Mr. Wyley's trustees would have if Seacroft House were damaged by the concussion from the gun fire. See the reference to the rule \"Princeps et Respublica ex justâ causâ possunt rem mean auferre,\" in the Saltpetre case, and the remarks of Justice Buller in Governor, &c., v. Meredith, 4 Term, Rep. 797. The officers concerned carry on the gun practice in obedience to general orders, and if they carry out these orders with care and skill, and without negligence, it is presumed that they would not be liable to an action for the damage (Sutton v. Clarke, 6 Taunton 29). At any rate, they would not if the Secretary of State for War subsequently ratified their Acts, for that would make acts of State for which the Crown alone would be responsible (Buron v. Denman, 2 Exch. 167). And no petition of right would lie (Viscount Canterbury v. the Attorney-General, 1 Phillips 301, and Tobin v. the Queen, 11 C. B.-N.S. 310).\n\n### Legal Precedent\n\nIn the case of Hawley v. Steele (L. R., 6 Ch. Div., p. 521), where the plaintiff filed a bill against the General Officer in command at Aldershot to restrain him from using a rifle range acquired under the Defence Act, and for compensation, the Master of the Rolls refused to give range relief. He said, \"I take it to be clear that no man is entitled to use his land by allowing others to come upon it and make a noise which is really intolerable to his neighbours... if the defendant had been the owner of this land, and if the persons who caused that noise and vibration had not been troops of the Government, I should have had no hesitation in granting the injunction.\" The real question is whether the Legislature has authorised the act to be done.\n\nIn concurring in this decision, Baron Pollock said \"it would be extremely difficult to contemplate the use of land for military purposes which did not carry with it the right to fire guns.\" (Hill v. Metropolitan Asylum, 4, 2 B. D. 445).\n\nIt would appear from the above that the Courts of Law will not interfere by injunction to restrain the use by the Secretary of State of land or buildings vested in him as Trustee for the Crown for the purposes of the defence of the realm, unless such user be distinctly and outrageously unreasonable, having regard for the requirements of the Military Department, and the objects for which the land or buildings were acquired. Would then user of a battery for practice purposes with heavy ordnance, and in such a manner as would involve damage to private property in the proximity of it, be an unreasonable user?\n\nPage 38316\nPage 64\nA 52950.-38. \nA 2", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-240 - Public Offices & Others - 1888.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 342563, "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": "CO129-246 - Acting Governor Fleming - 1890 [8-9]", "page_number": 178, "title": "CO129-246 - Acting Governor Fleming - 1890 [8-9]", "content_text": "by \n\nhim \n\n#44 \n\nseen \n\nper his despatch dated 8 February 1888.\n\n(Signed) E.

Special arrangements had been made in connection with the ceremony, the complete success of which foretells a prosperous future for this worthy Society. His Excellency and suite were escorted from Government House by four mounted troopers, and throughout the entire length of the route, large crowds of people assembled on each side of the street. Punctually at the appointed time, 2.30, His Excellency arrived at the site of the new home, and he was received by a guard of police under Chief Inspector Corcoran. A very large number of ladies and gentlemen had assembled in response to the Committee's invitation, amongst those present being His Excellency Admiral Buller and Mrs. Buller, Hon. J. H. Stewart Lockhart and Mrs. Lockhart, Hon. W. M. Goodman and Mrs. Goodman, Hon. F. A. Cooper and Mrs. Cooper, Hon. F. R. Belilios, Hon. A. McConachie, Hon. J. J.

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART, the President of the Committee, who said: \"Your Excellency--On behalf of the Po Leung Kuk Society, I have the honour to request you to lay the foundation stone of the new home for women and girls, and in doing so, I desire to express on behalf of the members of the Society their high appreciation of the honour which your Excellency has done them in coming here to-day to perform this ceremony.\" (Hear, Hear.)\n\nHis EXCELLENCY: \"Mr. President of the Po Leung Kuk Society, you and your committee have asked me to lay the foundation stone of the new home for women and girls which it is proposed to erect on this site. I have the greatest pleasure in acceding to your request and am glad to have my name in any way associated with the admirable institution you represent. Before completing the ceremony, however, I should like, for the information of the spectators and of the invited guests, to make a few remarks as to the origin and past success of the Society. Some seventeen years ago, the attention of the public was called by the Chief Justice to the evil practice of kidnapping which was rampant in the Colony and of selling the kidnapped women and children as if they were mere chattels. The principal Chinese residents (all honour be to them) were so impressed with the scandalous state of affairs in this respect that they memorialized the Governor, and through him, the Secretary of State for the Colonies, and they asked for permission to form an association for the purpose of suppressing this terrible crime; of protecting women and girls, and of restoring those who had been kidnapped to their friends or relations. This permission was granted, and the Committee of the Tung Wa Hospital kindly placed at the disposal of the Po Leung Kuk Society a portion of their hospital for the temporary accommodation of the destitute women and girls who had been rescued or might be rescued from the terrible fate which was intended for them. I hold in my hand a return which shows that during the four years ending in 1891, no less than 2,751 persons have been dealt with by the Society, and I have in my possession another return which shows that from 1888 to the end of 1895, the large number of 5,543 persons have been rescued by this Society, the greater number of whom have been sent to their homes or handed over to their relatives. This is, indeed, a record of good work. It is one which must recommend itself to every honest and respectable resident in the Colony. I cannot myself imagine any more useful, charitable, and Christian-like work.\n\n\"It has been well said by Adelaide Procter that 'God has glory when His children bring His poor ones joy and peace.' Well, joy and peace must have been brought to many a troubled household by the restoration of girls by this Society to their own relatives and their own homes, and who dare assert that God has not been glorified thereby? And let me say here that the rules and regulations under which the Po Leung Kuk Society have so long and so successfully worked were drawn up by our eminent Q.C., Mr. Francis, whom we are all glad to see amongst us again restored to health after his serious illness. Well, ladies and gentlemen, you can easily understand that with so much work to do, it was impossible, and it is impossible, for the Po Leung Kuk Society to do that work well and effectually in the cramped and unsuitable premises lent to them so liberally by the Tung Wa Hospital Committee. I consider that the Government and the community are much indebted to the Tung Wa Hospital Committee for the charitable assistance they have for so long given to the Po Leung Kuk, and we, the Government and the community, are still further indebted to the Tung Wa Hospital Committee for handing over to this Society, for their new building, a site which was granted to the Tung Wa Committee some years ago for charitable purposes. You will wish to know how this new home is to be paid for. I will tell you. The Chinese residents have subscribed amongst themselves the handsome sum of $30,000 towards it, and the Government, recognizing the utility and value of the Po Leung Kuk Society's efforts, has added to that amount a further sum of $20,000. With that $50,000, new and suitable buildings will be erected for the purposes of this institution on the site on which we now stand. Ladies and gentlemen, I am glad to lay this stone this afternoon. You must agree with me in thinking that the past success of the Po Leung Kuk Society has been very great. It would be impossible to run such an institution on European lines or under European management. The Po Leung Kuk Society has proved itself worthy of confidence, and I ask you to concur with me in the hope I now express that its future success may be greater still, that it may be the means of minimizing, if not entirely of suppressing, this disgusting traffic, and therefore may be a permanent blessing to the present and future generations of Chinese women and girls.\"\n\nHon. Ho KAI then handed a silver trowel and a silver-mounted mallet to His Excellency, who thereupon smoothed the mortar and the stone was placed in its proper position under the supervision of Mr. Denison, the architect. After tapping the stone, His EXCELLENCY said: \"Ladies and gentlemen, I declare this stone to be well and truly laid, and I ask you now to adjourn to the Tung Wa Hospital Committee Room.\"\n\nA photograph of the group was then taken, and Hon. Ho KAI called for three cheers for His Excellency, which were heartily given.\n\nPage 57", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-271 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1896 [1-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 360312, "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": "CO129-271 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1896 [1-4]", "page_number": 508, "title": "CO129-271 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1896 [1-4]", "content_text": "2 \n\nthe Grand Secretary Li Hung-Chang. \n\n2. \n\nOn the 18th ultimo I received a letter from Her Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires Peking informing me that the Grand Secretary had been pointed as special Ambassador to represent His Imperial Majesty the Emperor of China at the coronation of His Imperial Majesty the Emperor of Russia, and would pass through this Colony about the end of the month, being also furnished with credentials as Envoy Extraordinary to visit the Courts of England and Germany, the President of the French Republic, and suggesting that any courtesy and attention extended to him by me would be suitable and well-timed. \n\n3. \n\nAfter consultation with the Executive Council, His Excellency Vice-Admiral Buller, and the Unofficial Members of the Legislative Council", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-271 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1896 [1-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 360399, "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": "CO129-271 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1896 [1-4]", "page_number": 595, "title": "CO129-271 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1896 [1-4]", "content_text": "## Government House, HongKong, 14th April, 1896.\n\nI have the honour to inform you that as I understood from His Excellency Vice-Admiral Buller that, since the abolition of Contagious Diseases Acts (since the Acts were repealed) there has been an actual diminution of disease, since the repeal [see para. 12 ap. 28 of 4.1.218].\n\n2187 \n?

I carried out the orders of Dr. T.H.

That, gentlemen, is a standing reproach to this Colony, and I am convinced we shall never succeed in putting a stop to it until we get the co-operation of the Chinese, and get them to show us how we can stop this thing without wounding their prejudices and violating the sanctity of domestic life. That is why I say to you that I hope those who have gained all the represented technical knowledge which is borne in mind by these certificates will bear in mind that a very great deal can be done by tact, common sense, and a little give and take in their dealings with those on whom they have to impress the primary laws of sanitation.\n\nThe local branch has done good work in trying to get the community to understand the value of sanitation, and to try to get them to work with us, and not to work against us. Mr. Carter is still the life and soul of the branch; he has all along had the interests of the branch at heart and has done all in his power to foster it. Our thanks are due especially to him and also to our local Secretary, Mr. Ralphs.\n\nA new departure has recently been made whereby lectures on special subjects shall be delivered at the room of the Institute by competent lecturers. These are open to anyone to attend. The President of the Hongkong Branch, His Excellency the Governor, who was supported by Lady Lugard, presided at the distribution of prizes of the Hongkong Sanitary Institute held two days ago.\n\nHis Excellency, in addressing the gathering, said: \"Gentlemen,—As Chairman of the Examiners, I thought it would be of interest to review the work accomplished by the local branch of the Royal Sanitary Institute since its formation five years ago, especially in connection with this movement to present the certificates. There are twelve in all; seven were obtained at the January Examination last year and five at the October Examination. Since then, a regular course of six lectures has been delivered, the attendants numbered 3441, giving an average of Inspectors' lectures. In addition to the lectures, practical demonstrations have been given at the Nuisance Depot and Slaughter Houses by Mr. Gibson and at the Station by Drs. Clark and Pearse. Visits have also been paid to the New Kowloon Waterworks, Green Island Cement Works, Aberdeen Brick and Electric Power Station, Wanchai Dairy Farm, and to new buildings under construction, etc.\n\nLectures on various practical subjects have been given by Messrs. Joseph Albert Buller, Harry Counts, Thomas Hynes, Robert Gardiner McEwan, Charles Walter Thornton Brett (Sanitary Dept.), John Mackay, and Samuel Robert Boyd Willis (Police Force), George Sergeant Major Hutton, and Sergeants Walter Henry Jones and Harry Williams (R.A.M.C.).\n\nThe following candidates have passed the Sanitary Science Examination: Mr. Albert Victor Parker, Public Works Department.\n\nThe following have lectured on Food Inspection: Messrs. Williams & Shinkwio, Mr. Gibson, Veterinary Surgeon, and Dr. Clark, Darby, and Grey of the P.W.D.\n\nThe Council have arranged a Syllabus for those who intend to become Sanitary Officers. The practical examination is for those who wish to obtain from the Institute a certificate certifying their knowledge of Sanitary Science. The Local Government Board, London, accepts this certificate as evidence that the person possessing it is qualified for the office of Inspector of Nuisances by urban or rural district councils outside London; it is also recognized by the Local Government Boards in Edinburgh and Dublin.\n\nThe following officers of the Sanitary Department have passed the Examination for Inspector of Nuisances since the formation of the local branch: J. Reid, W. H. Jolley, G. W. Coysh, C. W. Ward, R. Loan, C. E. Frith, D. J. Mokerzie, D. J. Falloran, R. G. McEwen, H. Coombs, J. A. W. Brett, T. Hynes, J. Mackay (since transferred to P.W.D.), G. Willis (since transferred to Police Dept.); H. J. Gidley, S. Gilley (who have left the Colony).\n\nThe following officers of the Public Works Department have passed this Examination: Messrs. Longstaff and S. R. Boyd.\n\nThe following officers of the R.A.M.C. have also been successful: Sergeant Major Hutton, and Sergeants Williams and Jones.\n\nSeveral candidates from the Army are attending the present course of lectures.\n\nThe following candidates in private employment have passed the Examination: Messrs. H. Lett, Naval Yard Extension Works; G. Phew, Messrs. Butterfield and Swire; C. Langton, Naval Yard; J. B. Winter, Hongkong Gas Company.\n\nIn all, there have been 39 candidates, 26 of whom were successful, a percentage of 66.6 passes.\n\nAt the conclusion of the presentation, His Excellency said: \"Ladies and gentlemen, it is some years now since certificates won by students of the Hongkong Branch of the Royal Sanitary Institute have been distributed publicly. The last occasion was, I think, in 1904, and on that occasion, my predecessor made a long speech in which he told you generally of the objects of the institution and the work which had been done. It was instituted in 1903 on the suggestion of Mr. Carter, and it took shape owing to the energy and organizing ability of its President, Dr. Atkinson, and of various other members of the Body of Examiners, many of whom are still on the Board.\n\n\"I think, gentlemen, that the value of an institution like this, affiliated to a great institution in England, is immense. The certificates can be obtained here and are recognized throughout the British Empire, and they can be obtained without the expense of a voyage home to a higher standard than the Inspection in England. They can be obtained in their leisure hours of the evening by the men who are still doing their work and earning their salaries. These are very great advantages.\n\n\"The Hongkong Branch has led the way in adopting that great principle of affiliation with institutions in England, which I think is of immense advantage to the Colonies, and of which I should like myself to see the Colonies take much more advantage. It is the principle which underlies the Oxford Local Examinations which we have in our schools here; it is the principle upon which the Hongkong College of Medicine intends to frame its future; and it is, as Dr. Atkinson said, the principle which I hope will find still further expression in the Hongkong University of the future (applause).\n\n\"The Sanitary Department of the Government absorbs a great deal of the revenue of the Colony, and consequently has a very considerable staff, and there are architects, builders, and others in the Colony who also require certificated engineers, and the number of these appointments offers inducements to candidates to come and learn and obtain certificates at this branch of the Royal Sanitary Institution.\n\n\"I think, therefore, that the governing body of the Board of Examiners of the Hongkong Branch may feel that they are rendering a great public benefit to the Colony, and I think that our thanks are most heartily due to the body of gentlemen who give their time and thought gratuitously, without any remuneration, to conducting these lectures day by day on these difficult subjects (applause).\n\n\"When I look, as I did just now, at this syllabus of lectures, the different themes of the lecturers appear to me to be so practical and so sound that I honestly wish I had the time myself to be admitted and to come and learn some of these things and endeavour to obtain a certificate (applause).\n\n\"I will not speak to you, gentlemen, now, on the necessity of encouraging sanitation in Hongkong; I will not give you a discourse on the lessons to be learned from the great outbreak of plague or of the great value of having an object lesson here in Hongkong for China. All these are great subjects, but they have grown somewhat hackneyed, and you have heard them discussed by speakers who have more authority than I have.\n\n\"I will only refer briefly to the labours of the Sanitary Commission who have spent their private time and laid this Colony under a great debt of gratitude to them. You have heard, no doubt, a great deal of discussion on their report, and I can tell you you are likely to hear a good deal more within the next week or two.\n\n\"There is only one point which I will allude to before I sit down, and it is this: I will say to those gentlemen I have just had the honour and pleasure of presenting with these certificates, that in their greater wealth of sanitary knowledge, they should not lose sight of the saving grace of common sense (applause). I think that sensible toleration is the most valuable sense a man can have; our rules are good, but not always easy to realize. By the exercise of common sense, a little give and take, and tact, men may often achieve results that are more valuable than all the rules of the text books. You may obtain these results without wounding the prejudices of others. It is your business here to endeavour to impress upon the Chinese community the value of sanitation.\n\n\"The local branch is now established in a suitable room at 7, Beaconsfield Arcade, where members can study. It is here that the lectures are given, and we have the nucleus of a library there. Another important fact is that it is now self-supporting. Generally speaking, the work of the Institute has been well supported.\n\nA vote of thanks to His Excellency, proposed by Mr. Parkins, seconded by Mr. Owen, was carried in the usual way, ended the proceedings.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-364 - Public Offices & Others - 1909.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 426213, "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": "CO129-367 - Acting Governor May - 1910 [6-7]", "page_number": 582, "title": "CO129-367 - Acting Governor May - 1910 [6-7]", "content_text": "812\n\n579\n\n'\n\n(019 Jorei Viuh NJ8s anoxgnok\n\nTerj\n\n.

WITH reference to my telegram No. 14 of the 3rd instant, I have the honour to report that the American engineers Dawlay and Hawkes arrived at Yunnan-fu on the 27th October. A number of consultations took place at once between them and the directors of the Chinese Railway Company regarding railways in Yünnan generally and more particularly the projected line to Sui-fu or its neighbourhood in Szechuan.\n\nThey have already been away from the city on two surveying excursions. On the first, which occupied three days, they examined the country as far as Ta-pan Ch'iao, 40 li (some 13 or 14 miles) to the eastward; and on the second they devoted six days to a survey of the country in a north-easterly direction as far as Sung-ming Chou, 120 li (about 40 miles) distant.\n\nMy informant tells me that the question now to be decided is whether work shall be commenced at once on railways to the above-mentioned two places, or a complete survey of the line to Szechuan be made first. The engineers themselves think that if the latter course is pursued the company or the Provincial Government will in the end be deterred altogether from constructing the line by the enormous outlay that it would entail.\n\nI have not as yet seen either of the two American gentlemen; they may think it advisable to avoid me, and it is possible that they have received a hint to do so.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nP.

I pointed out that beyond the arbitrary marking out by boundary stones of a certain portion of city suburb and open country beyond as the trade mart there was absolutely no distinction between it and the remaining suburbs and the city itself; and the only object in its establishment appeared to be to confine foreigners to a kind of ghetto under more or less vexatious restrictions, which, I was sure, were either not binding on Chinese at all or only in a modified degree. What possible difference was there, I asked, in the circumstances of their residence between M. Covi, an Italian hotel-keeper who happens to live within the limits of the trade mart, and M. Pasquier, a French merchant living in the city? The only one I could think of was that the one could put out a signboard with an indication of his name and business and the other could not; otherwise, both enjoyed exactly the same rights, including those attaching to extra-territoriality, and were subject to the same obligations.\n\nMr. Shih steadily maintained that Yunnan-fu was a city in the interior, and that China need not allow foreigners to reside there at all; but it was pleased to open the place to foreign trade and residence under certain conditions which it had the absolute right to impose, and if foreigners did not like these conditions they had only to keep away. He said that the trade mart rules were only provisional and could be modified; what was desired was that the various foreign Powers should accept them in principle. If I considered the area of the trade mart too small it could be enlarged, and as to the limit of five years for leases of Government land, the Government had itself come to the conclusion that the term was too short. He tried to argue that the trade mart police had certain powers in the case of petty offences committed by foreigners which were different to those of the city police, but this I would not admit for a moment; I maintained that all offences committed by foreigners, whether within or without the limits of the trade mart, were judiciable by their consuls alone, and by no other persons whatsoever.\n\nIn conclusion, Mr. Shih begged that I would furnish him with my objections and my suggestions in writing, so I subsequently handed him a memorandum, of which the following is a copy---\n\nSpecially objectionable:\n\n\"General Regulation 1.—Nothing common with commercial cities opened by treaty.\"\n\n\"General Regulation 2.—Arbitrary taxation of foreigners.\n\nSpecial Regulation 6.—Consular guarantees.\n\n\"Special Regulation 9.—Arbitrary powers of eviction.\n\n\"Special Regulation 11.—Limitation of leases to five years; far too short a term.\n\nWhy not—\n\n\"1. Make the trade mart include the city of Yunnan-fu and a reasonable extent of country around—say two miles?\n\n\"2. Let foreigners lease land perpetually there? (In England, Chinese are even allowed to buy land anywhere, on the same terms as British subjects.)\n\n3. Abandon all special rules and regulations applicable to foreigners? (Ssumao, which is opened by treaty, has no concession or settlement, and foreigners can have their houses anywhere there.)\"\n\n## 3\n\nnow in receipt of a despatch from Mr. Max Müller, informing me that the regulations in question are quite unacceptable as they stand, and instructing me to enter a formal protest against them.\n\n**(No. 38.)** Sir,\n\nI have, &c.\n\nP.

I HAVE the honour to acknowledge receipt of your despatch of the 24th September, to the effect that you have sent a copy of the regulations for the trade mart at Yunnan-fu to His Britannic Majesty's chargé d'affaires at Peking, and that you have received a reply stating that the regulations in question are unacceptable.\n\nBeing actually in the interior, Yunnan-fu is, according to treaty, a place where foreigners are not allowed to reside and trade. As the railway has come to this city and there will be more merchants here than formerly, a place has been set apart and marked out specially for their residence. Regulations for this place have been drawn up, and the matter has been carefully arranged so as to afford both convenience and advantage. This is really an unusual permission, and so the regulations have been simply brought to your notice, there being no necessity of obtaining your acceptance before they become valid; it is to be known that if the regulations are accepted merchants and other people can come and reside in the mart, and that if they are not accepted there will be no such possibility, and affairs must still be managed as in the interior.\n\nHaving received your despatch, I hasten to state that Yunnan-fu is really in the interior, and that both parties have to act according to the rules for the interior mentioned in the treaty.\n\nI have, &c. (Seal of Shih, Administrator of Foreign Affairs.)\n\nI have, &c.\n\nP. E.

Satow's despatch of the 30th January, 1904, to the Wai-wu Pu, affect to regard the watershed between the Hsiao Chiang and the Nmai Kha as the boundary line, and choose to ignore the correspondence which has taken place since the examination of the frontier by Mr. Litton and Shih Taotai in 1905.\n\nI have the honour to forward also an interesting memorandum on the whole frontier question, for which I am indebted to Colonel Willoughby, the military attaché to this legation. Colonel Willoughby's researches go to show that Chinese claims to the west of the watershed on the northern portion of the frontier may prove stronger than we expect, and he makes some suggestions to meet possible Chinese demands which may prove very useful later on. But at present the Chinese Government show no disposition to enter into negotiations on the only basis which affords any hope of a successful solution of this long-standing question.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nJ.

I wrote to the Colonial Office asking if they would give this matter their attention; their reply is \"The Question at issue is one which will engage the serious attention of H.K. Government at the proper time and it is obviously impossible to make any statement of policy at present on the subject\".\n\nThis seems to me a very unsatisfactory answer but it is only on a par with the attitude taken up by the Government on all these matters and it looks as if they were going to leave everything severely alone in the hopes that they will slip back after the war into the old pre-war state and that we shall have Germans and German trading carried on in the same way as before the war.

In forwarding this report I wish to place on record my appreciation of the splendid manner in which the members of the Police and Fire Brigade carried out their duties, and in particular of the action of Chief Preventive Officer T.

Thirty-one persons were afterwards reported missing, and of these seven have been definitely found dead. As the bodies were brought out of the blazing buildings they were piled on the Praya preparatory to being removed to the Public Mortuary, but huge waves swept them all into the sea, and only seven bodies were recovered yesterday.\n\nThe premises involved were 131-139 Connaught Road West. The Central Fire Station received the first call shortly before 4 a.m., and fire appliances were immediately rushed to the scene, under the supervision of Mr. J. C. Fitz-Henry, Acting Superintendent.\n\nThe outbreak started, it is believed, at No. 131, the ground floor of which was occupied by the Tak Sang, rice-dealer. On the arrival of the fire engines, the blaze had already spread to the adjoining two houses. The fire-fighters were rendered helpless by the strong winds, but eventually succeeded in bringing two hoses into action. Unfortunately, by this time, the other houses had also been ignited, while those where the outbreak started were burning through. The street was flooded and the handicap under which the members of the Fire Brigade had to work could be gauged by the fact that the water was at one time up to the waists of the men.\n\nAs the fire engines arrived, a woman with a baby on her back was seen to jump from the top-storey of one of the buildings. Both she and the child were killed instantaneously. The ground floors of the buildings in question were occupied mostly by rice-dealers, and there were also two garages.\n\nTribute to Police Interviewed, Mr. Fitz-Henry paid great tribute to the splendid work and assistance given by the Police under Sub-Inspector Nolloth. The tremendous force of the wind made the work of subduing the fire almost impossible. Water in the roadway was waist-high; and it was found impossible to send the jets of water more than a few feet into the air, as the wind immediately transferred them into spray. It was two hours before anything could be done, and another three hours before the fire could be controlled. The collapse of Jubilee Street at one time during the night threatened to prevent the fire engines and ambulances from coming out of the station. A gang of coolies, however, were soon on the job and cleared it away partly, so as not to interfere with the work of the Brigade.\n\nMANY COLLAPSES\n\nSeveral Killed on Island And in Kowloon\n\nTHE BE TOTAL LOSSES\n\nMANY KILLED IN FIRE\n\nHongkong is recovering again from another typhoon. The swift-moving cyclone which formed east of Manila a few days ago lashed the Colony from midnight Wednesday until after dawn yesterday. Irresistible gusts continuously swept the streets, smashed plate glass windows, tore heavy signboards adrift, ripped and overturned parked motor cars and shifted everything movable.\n\nThe Observatory states it was the fiercest typhoon yet experienced in Hongkong. At 125 miles per hour the wind instruments at the Observatory ceased attempting serious register. An unofficial recorder declares the force reached 164 miles per hour. The barometer dropped to the low record of 28.298.\n\nHuge waves surged over the Praya, reaching almost to Queen's Road. Mariners on the harbour spent a night of unrelieved labour and anxiety. Among the many ships in harbour were some laid up because of the war, or under repair at docks and without steam. A score of these broke loose from their doubled moorings and careered drunkenly about the harbour in a macabre dance. Among them was the Van Heutsz with 1,260 passengers on board. Most of them grounded comfortably. A few are in bad position. One, the coaster An Lee, after colliding with three warships crashed stern first on the Central Praya wall and remained there poised with forepart in the water.\n\nAt the height of the storm a tenement block of nine four-storeyed houses in the Western District went afire and 15 inmates perished.\n\nRain, totalling 5.5 inches, persisted until 10 a.m., while relieved residents ventured from barricaded dwellings to survey shambles debris everywhere, much damage to property, some 20 ships ashore, scores of smaller craft sunk, and thoroughfares, with drains choked, a foot deep in water.\n\nThe shore damage, as usual, is largely superficial, but in the aggregate very great. Several buildings were unroofed, old houses collapsed, garden walls were blown down, roads blocked by landslides, fallen telegraph poles and uprooted trees.\n\nNo estimate of total damage is possible. Casualties are estimated at more than 100.\n\nWIDESPREAD DAMAGE\n\nA spectacular effect of the gale was this huge lattice-work formed by the scaffolding on the Central Fire Station, blown down into the street by the strong gusts.\n\n--Staff Photographer.\n\nCASUALTY LIST\n\n \n An Lee,\n aground on Praya;\n back broken and complete wreck.\n \n \n Asama Maru,\n aground in Sai Wan Bay,\n no passengers; expected to be refloated shortly.\n \n \n Bonneville,\n hard on Stonecutters Island;\n little damaged.\n \n \n Dashing,\n high on rocks,\n Ching Hue Island.\n \n \n Eng Lee,\n hard aground,\n Kowloon Football Ground.\n \n \n H.M.S.

After making one trip to Macao, she returned to the Colony, sometime ago, and was lying off Cheungshawan Bay.\n\nThe bodies of the Captain and the two Chinese were recovered shortly before noon near the vicinity of the Ching disaster.\n\nThe three Chinese rescued were loud in their praises of the excellent work of the soldiers at Shamshuipo who made indefatigable efforts to save the boat's crew.\n\nMR. C. W. JEFFRIES, DIRECTOR OF THE ROYAL OBSERVATORY\n\nWhen issuing his official report on the gale yesterday morning, Mr. C. W. Jeffries, Director of the Royal Observatory, declared that it was the most intense he had ever known.\n\nIt is doubtful if a storm of greater severity has ever visited the Colony.\n\nThe wind force was of such an intensity that the register of the Observatory's anemograph was incapable of recording the gusts. The barometer minimum of 28.298 was the previous lowest reading of 28.590 on August 18, 1923.\n\nShortly after dawn yesterday morning the instrument recordings showed that the wind did not drop below 140 m.p.h. Two gusts in the early morning topped the index paper and it is estimated they were approximately 164 miles an hour.\n\nOne record, at least, was proved, as .292 lower than the existing low record established on August 18, 1923.\n\nMr. V. Sorby, General Manager of the Hongkong Electric Company, stated yesterday that his anemograph recorded 160 miles per hour.\n\nBetween 2 a.m. and 3 a.m. in Hunghom, near Bailey's shipyard, three were killed and one injured in another collapse yesterday morning.\n\nCollapses on the Island occurred at 234 Queen's Road Central, 11 Nullah Lane, 1B, Western Street, 1A Centre Street and 47 Third Street. In all these accidents there was only one fatality, at the collapse at Third Street. One man was killed and four were injured.\n\nTIMELY EVACUATION\n\nCOURAGEOUS ACTION\n\nEuropean Saves Six Chinese From Shenandoah\n\nThe hulk of the Shenandoah, once a luxurious yacht, ran aground near the wharf of the China Light and Power Co., Ltd. in Kowloon Bay, with ten Chinese aboard.\n\nDozens of trees were uprooted by the gales during yesterday.\n\nWASHOUTS\n\nNathan Road Blocked In Many Places\n\nRESCUE HEROISM\n\nPolice and Civilians Do Good Work\n\nCHINESE SAVED\n\nSome splendid rescue work carried out by a party of Revenue Officers and Police sergeants along the Praya. Seven of them—C. P. O. Buller, Mr. W. Ward, Sub-Inspector Goddard, Sergt. Davis, Sergt. Scott, Sergt. Hayward and Mr. Ellis linked together by ropes ventured out in treacherous weather to rescue crews from ships, and to save little children who were stranded in huts along the Praya.\n\nDarkness added to the terror of the night and the tremendous difficulties confronting the rescue party. Nevertheless, they succeeded in saving some 70 lives, all of whom received treatment for various injuries, none of them very serious, in the Imports and Exports Department.\n\nUnhappily it was found impossible to obtain enough dry clothes and several of the unfortunate men had to spend the early hours up to dawn in blankets.\n\nOne of the most dramatic episodes occurred about 5.30 a.m. when one of the Taikoo tugs was sunk as it approached the An Lee which had been driven ashore on the Praya. The line of the rescue party rushed to the scene and took six of these men off.\n\nAt the De Luxe Garage in Nathan Road employees had a narrow escape when the roof collapsed.\n\nA man and a child were killed when a house collapsed at the corner of Ma Tau Wei and Po Wah Wan Road.\n\nAt 7.20 a.m. the No. 8 signal (gale expected from S.E.) was hoisted. When the barometer read 28.298 it was .292 lower than the existing low record established on August 18, 1923.\n\nOver 160 M.P.H\n\nRAILWAY\n\nThe Kowloon-Canton Railway suffered damage from the gale, although the extent of the damage is not yet able to be accurately estimated.\n\nTwo washouts on the line were reported between Shatin and Taipo, but the entire train service has been suspended indefinitely and the head office is awaiting fuller reports as to the extent of the damage.\n\nARMY OFFICER'S BRAVERY\n\nCaptain Rybot, of the H.K.S.B.R.A., was responsible for an act of extreme bravery.\n\nA Great Name and a Great Gin—GORDON'S DRY GIN\n\nDISTILLERY, LONDON, ENGLAND\n\nKelly & Walsh, Ltd., Chater Road, Hong Kong.\n\nTHE CITADEL $6-50\n\nDr. A. J. Cronin's new novel\n\nThe unoffending profession of medicine has in these days sustained attack by two novelists of distinction, Sinclair Lewis and Dr. Cronin. Mr. Lewis wrote from without; Dr. Cronin's assault is upon interior lines. In \"The Citadel\" there are presented three types of good doctor: the general practitioner possessed of competent knowledge and a big heart, the physician or surgeon possessed of special qualifications, also with a big heart, and the bacteriologist, who, being less subject to temptation, needs, perhaps, less cardiac capacity. Against these stand the pompous old humbugs of the villages and country towns and the ill-conditioned sharks of the great cities.\n\nAll this is doubtless very true. But it is true not only of the doctors but also of humanity. What is not true is that a district of London called \"Harley Street\" is shark-infested, so that an honest man practises there at his peril. Dr. Cronin would deny, certainly, that he had made any such suggestion; but it is in this sense that his indictment has been read by many.\n\nIt may be conceded that, within limits, Dr. Cronin has presented a lively tale full of more or less dramatic incident.\n\nHONGKONG FOOT\n\nRINGWORM\n\nBAYER\n\nTRADE MARK\n\nFUNGOL\n\nSPECIFIC FOR HONGKONG-FOOT RING-WORM AND OTHER MYCOTIC INFECTIONS OF THE SKIN\n\nBayer Farbenindustrie Aktiengesellschaft, Leverkusen, Germany.\n\nONLY FOR EXTERNAL USE.\n\n'FUNGOL'\n\nA scientifically prepared specific for the treatment of Fungus Skin Infections\n\nThe new 'Fungol' cure for Hongkong Foot, which is now obtainable from all pharmacies, quickly stops itching and prevents the infection from penetrating further into the tissues.\n\n'FUNGOL' is a colourless preparation which leaves no stain, greatly simplifying the treatment of Hongkong Foot, and, above all, destroys the causal agent preventing the further spread of the infection.\n\nREACHES MACAO\n\nHeavy Damage To Fishing Craft\n\nMacao, Sept. 2. A severe typhoon struck Macao in the early hours of the morning after causing great damage to fishing craft here and ashore also.\n\nJunks sheltering in the inner harbour were torn loose and wrecked on the shore in many places.—Our Own Correspondent.\n\nROBBERY DURING STORM\n\nDuring the height of the typhoon at 4.30 a.m. yesterday, three men entered the first floor of 1080 Canton Road and robbed Lo Shiu-yuen, described as a kept woman, of money and jewellery to the total value of $540. Some loss of life is feared.\n\nThere were three other inmates of the house at the time. One of the robbers was stated to have carried a revolver.\n\nPage 363\n\nPage 363\n\nPage 364\n\nPage 364\n\nPage 365\n\nPage 365", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-564-6 Typhoon- reports of damage- etc 9-9-1937 - 6-11-1937.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 568718, "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": "CO129-582-3 Proposed reorganisation of government printing arrangements 12-5-1939 - 8-11-1939", "page_number": 27, "title": "CO129-582-3 Proposed reorganisation of government printing arrangements 12-5-1939 - 8-11-1939", "content_text": "36\n\n8\n\nSPECIMEN PAGE\n\nThe following example shows the method of charging composition of a royal 8vo page of large dimensions (30 × 46 ems, 12-point), set in 10-point with 8-point inserted, of varying classification.\n\nQuality or Pattern Number.\n\n(1)\n\nSPECIFICATION.\n\n(2)\n\nValves, Washers, and Rings (various sizes as ordered) estimated to weigh under 4 ozs. each and the following patterns :-\n\nRings (8a quality) for gauge glasses :-\n\n \n Size of Glass.\n External Diameter.\n Internal Diameter.\n Thickness.\n \n \n 781\n R\n 781a\n 7816\n 781d\n \n\nDelivery,* Price including Delivery.\n\n(3)\n\n(4)\n\n \n s. d.\n per days\n lb.\n \n\nClass III 10-point.\n\nSPECIMEN PAGE\n\nThe following example shows the method of charging composition of an imperial 8vo page of doubled-up matter, set in 11-point, with Class II 9-point matter inserted :-\n\nWEEKLY DAIRY PRODUCE NOTES\n\nThe following table shows arrivals of butter and cheese from the three chief sources in the Southern Hemisphere:-\n\n \n Butter.\n Cheese.\n \n \n 15\n \n \n\nThe seasonal decline in shipments from the Southern Hemisphere is reflected in shipments afloat, which showed a further reduction yesterday, but maintained an appreciable increase over last year's figures.

The candidate we have in mind is Mr. R.A. Mirams, (53549 W.A.) Temporary Engineer, Nigeria. The salary proposed is £860 per annum. Offer was to have been made to Mr. Mirams on his personal file on the assumption that he would be required later in the year but I have held up the action, as there is now the prospect of an immediate vacancy for him.\n\n(v) that an additional S.0.3 be engaged for electrical and telecommunications planning. Whilst we have no name to suggest at the moment, Mr. Morris has interviewed a suitably qualified candidate.\n\n6. I have inserted the name of Mr. J.H. Taggart as prospective S.0.1 Supplies. We do not wish to fill this post until after Mr. Taggart's arrival in this country.\n\nJ.J. Cowperthwaite (59800 W.A.), an Administrative Officer from Sierra Leone is due to arrive here by the middle of March. There is a further vacancy under Supply for an S.0.3, into which we could fit Lieutenant D.F. Davies. Mr. Thomson agrees to give up one of his supply vacancies for this purpose.\n\nProvided that we obtain the services of Lt.Col. Cunningham in the near future the Legal Department should be adequately catered for. Mr. A. Ritchie, shown as an S.0.2 is our selection for the post of Custodian and has very considerable accounting knowledge but, no legal experience. If Lt.Col. Cunningham cannot be released to us reasonably soon, we should want to leave the S.0.1 post temporarily vacant and take on another S.0.2. There should be no Treasury objection to this.\n\n8. Under Finance negotiations are under way for an S.0.2 from the Colonial Service. We are leaving the S.0.1 post vacant at the moment. No further staff appear necessary in the near future.\n\n9.\n\nUnder Welfare Dr. Fehily has proposed the appointment of an S.0.2 to plan the organisation of relief measures. This additional appointment is strongly recommended. We have no candidate to suggest at the moment but may have a name to put forward shortly. In addition, we want authority to engage Miss I.N. Watkins as prospective Principal Matron.\n\n10. Before he left Mr. Sansom considered that the time had come to obtain a planner for the Preventive Branch and recommended that Mr. W.J. Buller (36498 C.R.) former Chief Preventive Officer now on abolition pension in Australia, should be recalled. This would entail the addition of another S.0.3 post. His pay while working at the Colonial Office would be £800, the maximum of his salary on which he retired, which is the salary scale.\n\n11.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-591-10 Military Administration 16-1-1945 - 28-3-1946.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 587560, "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": "CO129-605-4 Government loans 12-7-1946 - 6-1-1948", "page_number": 118, "title": "CO129-605-4 Government loans 12-7-1946 - 6-1-1948", "content_text": "C.O.\n\nDRAFT AND RECORD COPY.\n\nREGISTERED No.\n\nLETTER SENT\n\n120\n\nColonial Office,\n\nDowning Street,\n\nDATE\n\n1st March, 1947.\n\nDRAFT\n\nMR.

Cauman's comments are as follows.\n\nApparently it is not the normal practice in the case of colonial loans which are floated by the Crown Agents for provision to be made for a sinking fund which would redeem the loan within the period of its life. The usual practice is to provide for a low sinking fund which may be supplemented later on should the financial position of the territory improve sufficiently to enable this to be done. Cauman's impression was that whilst you did not necessarily agree with the above procedure in the case of Hong Kong, you were prepared to leave the matter to the decision of the Colonial Office.\n\nFURTHER ACTION\n\nAs regards paragraph 5 of your letter of the 17th February, the last sentence in (b) of our telegram No.220 suggested that the Crown Agents should be appointed as trustees to the sinking fund and that any investments of the proceeds or the sinking fund in \"self stock\" could only be done with the Secretary of State's approval. The requirement as to the Secretary of State's approval is contained in draft Ordinance which we have sent to Hong Kong in connection with this loan. In these circumstances,\n\nD.R.
