        "content_text": "Government House, Hongkong, 4th June, 1886.\n\nAt the request of the Captain Superintendent of Police I have the honour to transmit a Memorial from that Officer, praying that you will give directions.\n\nThe O.A.G. protests against being compelled to assume a jurisdiction which he thinks (and is, in my opinion, right) that the law has not given him - and he appeals to the Legislature. The Captain Superintendent also complains that the order has been in the form of a Police Regulation issued by himself, though important, but he is technically right - Police Regulations are made by the Capt. Supt. with the approval of the Governor under Section 13 of the Ordinance - and an order by the Governor for the guidance of the Captain Superintendent is not.\n\nThis is a separate matter and I think, with mine, that it is the duty of the head of the Police to obey instructions even if he doubts their legality, but that he is entitled to appeal to the Governor.\n\nI agree that Sir W. Bushe's instruction, quoted in para. 4 of this despatch, appears to be free from the objection to which the other instruction is open.\n\nMy Lord,\n\nIn subsequent instruction (No. 190) it has been made clear that...\n\n[Page 44]\n\nMay 15, May 18, Aug. 21.\n\nREG 15 JUL 86, 12561\n\nWith 6 sub-enclosures A to F\n\nTo the Right Honourable Earl Granville, K.G.\n\n[Page 45]",

        "content_text": "The practice in Hong Kong of having two counsel on each side actually in Court in every case of any importance, which includes practically all commercial cases and many others, results in several issues. Resulting from this are:\n\n(3) the unreadiness of counsel to deal with a case until a preceding case in which some or all of them are engaged is finished. Hence applications for adjournment which appear to be granted as a matter of course.\n\n(4) The want of control exercised by the Judges not only as regards adjournments but generally for the prolixity and irrelevance of counsel and witnesses.\n\n(5) The necessity for translation in the case of Chinese evidence and documents.\n\nMr Bushe has dealt with these issues from the point of view of counsel imbued with the admirable traditions and practice attending the administration of justice in our English Courts. Valuable as such criticism is, however, the matter must not be viewed exclusively from that standpoint alone.\n\nThe despatch and its enclosures constitute an indictment of:\n\nA. The Hong Kong practice generally (cases (1) and (5)).\n\nB. The personal competence and ability of the present Judges (case (4)).\n\nA. The Hong Kong practice.\n\nAs regards this, I think causes (1) and (5) are standing factors which have to be faced and which differentiate the case of Hong Kong from that of England, Scotland, or Ireland. No amount of reform will immediately increase the numbers of the local Bar (though it might have that effect in time) or dispense with the necessity for the translation of Chinese evidence.\n\nConsequently, in dealing with causes (2) and (3), the present small number of the Hong Kong Bar and the necessity for translating documents must be taken into consideration, and applications for adjournment on the ground of the absence or unreadiness of counsel can hardly be dealt with as trenchantly as they are here.\n\nAt the same time, the idea that two counsel on each side must actually be present in Court throughout the whole case (see enclosure 4, paragraph 6) is absurd, and if only one is present on either side or on both, the Judge should as a rule require the case to be proceeded with. He could, of course, exercise discretion to grant an adjournment if he thought that there was any hardship involved.\n\nGenerally, however, I agree with Mr Bushe that even in the present conditions, the Bench could do a good deal in the way of making adjournments the exception rather than the rule and of curbing the prolixity or irrelevance of counsel, the tendering of unnecessary or irrelevant evidence, and the abuse of cross-examination (enclosures 15 and 16). This brings me to the personal question.\n\nB. The competence of the present Judges.\n\nSir W. Rees Davies was called to the Bar in 1887 and went on the South Wales circuit. I don't know the extent of his practice, but undoubtedly for some years he did a certain amount of work. From 1892 to 1898, he was Sir W. Harcourt's Private Secretary and a Member of Parliament, and we will assume that during those years he had no time to practise at the Bar. Then from 1898 to 1902, he was Attorney General of the Bahamas, from 1902 to 1906...\n\nPage 128",

You can have this action if you like when I go over it with him the question of costs to the Solicitor and if he is satisfied that she did not act improperly with regard to the matter in respect of which the action was brought he will no doubt consider the question whether the Crown or we are to be asked to make a grant to Governor Good.\n\n## \n\n24 March ...\n\nIn the present case, though in para 3 He is asking for sanction in advance for the possible expenditure. But there is nothing like an agreement in advance with the officers concerned, partly on the grounds taken by Mr. Bushe and partly because the Solicitor cannot judge the merits of the case until it has been heard and he has received a full report of the proceedings.\n\nI do not know when the principle of \"A\" supra was first laid down but it was unanimously adopted and approved by the Law Officers here as early as 1902 and was dissented from by the Solicitor before the action was brought.\n\n20 March 1882 the Li. Governor can hardly v Browne, and 203 Suren Helison, has been followed in other cases including Sir S. Olivier's libel action (`Itaqvolivier`). Rainsford & Browne was ut quili on all fours with the present case. The further offer which the Governor has given his express sanction to includes; £500 damages out of Gx. Cready out funds was the unsuccessful option as to taking; He had no alternative but to defend them. The principle is the same as in Rassford and tax-D.Ce of the G. Coast trove ht action wherein claiming damages for a libel imputed to Browne of the WAFF, President of a court of Enquiry laid under the Army Act at Kintampo Drane; the Assessors found for the Plaintiff. It obtained a verdict for £500 damages but the Lord Chief Baron directed the jury that Major Browne at the time he be stand tamaporis bolism; that the action was justified was w subject to militare law, and thin for that the Major was morally free from Glam. The Solicitor accordingly with the concurrence of the C.O. authorized the payment of Major Browne's damages as 'cost out of Crown funds'. I have set out the circumstances of the case rather trifler in order to emphasize the point that the Solicitor must be satisfied as to the propriety of the action before authorizing payment of expenses out of public funds; this can only be after the case was decided.",

        "content_text": "they have had system notice getting greater intention. Hort. & should have made a smoother bid. They wished to maintain the service.\n\nI do not accept the doctrine of vested interests on which Mr. Bushe's minute is based. To do so would militate against progress in a direction where port-control is required & has not hitherto been exercised in the past.\n\nI advise that the request be refused.\n\nIn view of the difference of opinion between Mr. Bushe and Sir E. Stubbs on the doctrine of vested interests, would you kindly let us have your observations?\n\nA.E.C.  \n25.6.\n\nMr. Collins,  \nMr. Grindle.\n\nThis question of \"vested interests\" is, I think, entirely one of public policy. Persons who lawfully establish and develop a certain undertaking in a Colony are entitled to the quiet enjoyment of their undertaking, but no one will deny that it is competent and proper for the local Government to procure legislation controlling and regulating such an undertaking as a ferry service in the general interest of the public.\n\nThe Ferries Ordinance, 1917, applies to all ferries in Hong Kong except the service of the Star Ferry Company, and though it provides for regulations (inter alia) \"for granting exclusive rights for maintaining ferries\", it certainly contemplated the issue of more than one licence under its provisions. In his report on the Ordinance, moreover, the Attorney-General said that section 3 would \"enable the regulation of the various ferries which require varying treatment to be taken up piecemeal\" and would \"facilitate the separate handling of ferries which call for distinct treatment\". He also said that its main object was \"not revenue but the interests of the travelling public\". On the face of it, the Ordinance was salutary and was sanctioned without comment.\n\nThe Government have used the Ordinance to put up a single exclusive ferry licence to auction so as to create a monopoly and have sold that monopoly for a large sum (notwithstanding the Attorney-General's statement quoted above) to a Company other than the petitioners. Their object has been to \"break the ring\" and obtain money for wharves for the new service.\n\nQuite recently, a somewhat similar question of policy arose in Nigeria, where Sir F. Lugard proposed to use the local Piers Ordinance to the same purpose, i.e., to give a practical monopoly, but in that case, not to one undertaker as against another, but to secure it for the big Government wharf scheme at Apapa when completed.\n\nHe proposed to use the Ordinance so as to give the London Kano Trading Company, who had bought the German firm of Gaiser's land, a licence limited to handling only their own goods and produce at their pier, notwithstanding that the river frontage and all its incidental advantages had been much advertised before.",

Lord Milner understands further that Mr. Falk was applying for general exemption from the Regulation with a view to acting as Master of any British ship and not only of ships engaged in local trade in Hong Kong. If this is the case\n\nMr. Falk's application falls to be dealt with by the Board of Trade and not by the Hong Kong Govt.\n\n4.

Wednesday, Feb. 19, 1919.\n\nMERCHANTS' BUSINESS-QUESTION OF TRADE MARKS.\n\nARNHOLD AND OTHERS. GOETZ AND ANOTHER.\n\nBefore Mr. Justice BRAY.\n\nIn this case Mr. D. M. Kerly, K.C., and Mr. Stuart Bevan were for the plaintiffs (instructed by Messrs. Coward, Hawksley, Son & Chance): the defendants were not represented.\n\nIt was an action for certain declarations against the defendants. Mr. KERLY said that the plaintiffs were Harry Edward Arnhold and Charles Herbert Arnhold and Arnhold Bros. & Co., Ltd., a company incorporated under the Companies Ordinances, 1911, at Shanghai, and the defendants were Ernst Goetz and Max Nies-Massen, of 75, Unter den Linden, Berlin, both of whom were alien enemies.\n\nThe plaintiffs applied for a declaration that the partnership formerly existing between and carried on by the plaintiffs and the defendants under articles of partnership dated Nov. 12, 1912, was dissolved by the war with Germany; a declaration that upon the true construction of the articles of partnership, and in view of the events that had happened, and particularly the dissolution of the partnership, the plaintiffs were on Sept. 12, 1917 (immediately before the execution of an agreement of that date made between the plaintiffs and the plaintiff company), absolutely entitled to the goodwill and trade marks of the business formerly carried on by the firm of Arnhold, Karberg & Co., and afterwards by the plaintiffs, Harry Edward Arnhold and Charles Herbert Arnhold; and a declaration that under and by virtue of the said agreement, dated Sept. 12, 1917, the goodwill and trade marks became and were in equity the property of the company and ought to be assigned by the plaintiffs, Harry Edward Arnhold and Charles Herbert Arnhold, to the plaintiff company.\n\nMr. Justice BRAY: You say these marks ought to be assigned by one plaintiff to another?\n\nMr. KERLY: Yes. The defendants may conceivably dispute that, and claim some interest in the goodwill and trade marks, which I shall ask your Lordship to negative.\n\nMr. Kerly said that there was an old firm that belonged to the father of Harry Edward Arnhold and Charles Herbert Arnhold, who became naturalised here and were born in this country. The firm had a large business in the East, in China, Hong Kong, and elsewhere, and the goodwill belonged to the father, who entered into partnership with his two sons, and on his death the goodwill belonged to the partnership. In November, 1912, there was an agreement of partnership by which the two defendants, Goetz and Nies-Massen, were taken into the partnership on the terms that the goodwill still belonged to the Arnholds.\n\nThe partnership was to continue for four years from Jan. 1, 1912, but by reason of the war, it was dissolved between the plaintiffs and the defendants.\n\nMr. Kerly said that the goodwill had been throughout the exclusive property of H. E. and C. H. Arnhold, the plaintiffs, and this at Aug. 4, 1914, included the whole of the trade marks of the business.\n\nAfter the outbreak of war, the plaintiffs carried on business under the style of H. E. Arnhold, and later of Arnhold Bros. & Co., Ltd., and carried on and used the goodwill, trade marks in question.\n\nBy an agreement of Sept. 12, 1917, H. E. and C. H. Arnhold assigned to Arnhold Bros. & Co., Ltd., the goodwill formerly carried on by H. E. and C. H. Arnhold, together with the trade marks.\n\nMr. Justice Bray: The partnership agreement of November 1912, would expire by effluxion of time in December, 1916.\n\nMr. Kerly: Yes, but it was dissolved by reason of the outbreak of the war.\n\nMr. Kerly said that after the war difficulties arose in the East, and the authorities in Hong Kong were not quite clear as to what the position was. They did not appreciate that the goodwill belonged to the two Arnholds, the partnership having been determined, and steps were taken in Hong Kong to treat the firm as an alien enemy firm, and proceedings were taken under local statutes with a view to winding the firm up. Arnhold soon satisfied the British authorities here that they were natural-born citizens and there had been no difficulty of any sort.\n\nPart of the property of the firm consisted of a series of trade marks which were of great value. Some of them were registered here, and they were also independently registered at Hong Kong.\n\nSince the dissolution, the two Arnholds had been solely entitled to the goodwill, which included the trade marks, and they had been informed, as the result of communications with the Colonial Office, that it was required that a declaration of the Court should be obtained to the effect that they were so entitled.\n\nThe plaintiffs were now before the Court. The writs had been served by the direction of the Court, and it was understood that there were letters had been received from the defendants to the effect that they preserved their rights, but did not intend to appear.\n\nThe plaintiffs asked that the defendants' rights were subject to those of the plaintiff company, Arnhold Bros. & Co., Ltd., to whom in September, 1917, the goodwill was assigned by the two Arnholds, was a company registered in Shanghai under the local law there.\n\nCHARLES HERBERT ARNHOLD, one of the plaintiffs, gave evidence that he was formerly a member of the firm of Arnhold, Karberg & Co., and he produced the partnership articles of November, 1912. This was signed by witness and his brother and the two defendants.\n\nThe witness further deposed to the agreement of September, 1917, with the plaintiff company, Arnhold Bros. & Co., Ltd., by which the goodwill was assigned.\n\nMr. Kerly submitted that the trade marks could not be separated from the goodwill. He had authority for that proposition.\n\nThe defendants (he added) were German subjects.\n\nMr. Justice BRAY granted the declarations asked for, but said he would make no order as to costs.\n\n24/2/19\n\nFor record\n\nB.AD?\n\n24/2/19 yes",

I cannot think, however, that this is your intention for the whole position is so clear that I submit there is no question outstanding save with regard to finance.\n\nMay I remind you of the facts? After prolonged negotiations the Colonial Government and the Promoters came to an arrangement granting the Promoters a concession, in the form of an Agreement, for the development of Hong Kong South. This was submitted to the Colonial Office and approved, subject to its being passed by the Legislative Council.\n\nThe Legislative Council approved and Colonial Office confirmation was received in August 1914. The good faith of all parties was apparent and the formation of a Company was to be proceeded with as soon as this confirmation was given. War broke out, however, and prevented this being done for reasons known to everybody in England but apparently...",

In my opinion the recent conviction of Chan Per has no bearing on the action taken in 1910 and does not justify a re-opening ? add to the suggested reply that his having been called on to pay $750 is not regarded as likely to cast a serious slur on Capt. I.'s character & honour. (v. para 12 further, It was due to the Gov.'s opinion that Capt. I. should have seen that the orders given by their Lordships being carried out.

The general intention of the Government in introducing the Ferries Ordinance, 1917, was to grant a series of ferry monopolies for the purpose of securing for the travelling public better and safer services and cheaper fares. The ferries calling for the earliest treatment were the group of ferries plying between Victoria on the one side of the Harbour and Yaumati, Mong Kok Tsui and Sham Shui Po on the other. These ferries were then being operated by a syndicate which had acquired a virtual, though an unregulated monopoly. Any attempt at establishing a rival service was met by the usual methods of such syndicates, and any such competition led to racing across the busiest parts of the Harbour. It was notorious that the service was not satisfactory and such information as the Government had as to the profits of the syndicate led to the conclusion that the fares were too high. This view is confirmed by the non-fulfilment of the petitioners' prophecies of the failure of the present licensee.

We must consider this further later on.\n\nABB. 9/3/20\n\nAF 10/3/20\n\nIt appears to be the case that we need only write to them telling them to treat the Togoland trade marks in the same way as Nigeria.\n\nI spoke to our Bushe about this just before he left. He thinks it is permissible to act in accordance with the Circular of 1920, which has been sent to Nigeria.\n\nThe question is whether we should liquidate the trade marks of Germans and German firms merely established locally (have a copy of Circular). This is doubtful. Hence we had better first raise the point to the Board of Trade before rendering our decision.\n\nOur Bushe is of the view that they should adopt this course.\n\n13/5/20",

I should have thought that this Covered the selling of the property, the paying of debts to the late... and the handing over to her proper Trustees.\n\nSince the assets have been handed over I believe that the site matters will be dealt with by the Trustees.\n\nI don't think it would be wise to deal with Tate without the former Course, at any rate defer to 70. We also put a caveat when we were hotly against attempting to deal with Mission property which is treated as Enemy Property.\n\nArtB. 26/11/20\n\nWiron 53743. Deal with this.

Fiddes + 627\n\nIn January 1919 the Conference of Missionary Societies pressed us to deal with the Basel mission and other enemy missions in Hong Kong on the lines adopted in the Gold Coast. The Secretary of State explained the Gold Coast legislation to Hong Kong, and in June 1919, an Ordinance was passed empowering the Governor to vest in the Custodian of Enemy Property any property of any enemy mission or any mission which is in his opinion one of enemy association or is one the determination of whose activities is for the security of Colonial or Imperial interests required. The Governor clearly has power to deal with the Basel Mission in spite of its \"Swiss\" character, but there being no trading side to the mission in Hong Kong, there seems to be no call for any such elaborate arrangement as was made on the Gold Coast. In July 1919 Archdeacon Barnett of the Church Missionary Society, Rev. T.W. Pearce of the London Mission, and the Custodian were appointed a Committee of Enquiry and on their recommendation they were subsequently constituted a Board of Trustees for the management of the properties and affairs of enemy missions generally (The Governor says \"generally\" but it would appear that the trustees are really only dealing with the Evangelical Missions. Article 453 of the Peace Treaty is therefore being complied with). Some temporary arrangements have been made for the charitable work of the Missions and the Governor proposes to call on the Trustees to propound a permanent scheme.\n\nAll we need do is to inform the Conference of Missionary Societies in reply to their inquiry of the action taken.\n\nThe Governor also proposes that the Government should recoup itself for expenses before handing over the property. I agree with Mr. Bushe that this is not covered by the Peace Treaty and had better be made a matter of negotiation.",

        "content_text": "## BORANEKIN ON CAPTAIN TAYLOUR'S GRIEVANCES.\n\n623\n\nCapt. Taylour's chief complaints are as follows:\n\n(1) The Chan Pui affair. In October 1910, the shroff Wong-diau-lha absconded with some $3,800 of public money. The Governor considered that Capt. Taylour's supervision had not been adequate and called upon him to pay $750, with the approval of the Secretary of State at the time. This decision of the Governor was upheld by the Secretary of State. Recently, a Chinese Clerk, Chan Pui, absconded with some $30,000 of Government money, and was convicted. Thereupon Capt. Taylour proceeded to appeal against the decision taken in 1910 on the ground that it was now clear that the fault was that of Chan Pui. Mr. Bushe advised that the conviction could not be regarded as a fait nouveau undermining the action previously taken, and Capt. Taylour was consequently informed in a letter from this office dated the 18th of August (`38526`) that the Secretary of State did not consider that the recent conviction of Chan Pui was a fait nouveau which would undermine the action previously taken in his case, that action having been based on a lack of supervision on his part. The letter added that Lord Harcourt did not consider that he need regard the circumstances as having cast any slur on his character, the action taken having been due barely to the fact that the Governor at that time did not consider...\n\nby Capt Taylour of \n`47661/1420` \non £100 \n£100. We agreed on both claim from him, but only this debt due aim of £2-4-6, which the C.A. had paid him by a misunderstanding of the rate of Admnt Won Bomer, due to him from ...\n\nSuch are the three referred to. He has been refused ... There is no reason why Col. Amery should not see him if he is prepared to state facts.

Alphand asking whether, in view of the fact that in a similar case even of vested property under British law the rights of a French legatee would be recognised, the French Government would agree to the release of the property to the British legatees.\n\nIt should also be pointed out that during the War the Public Trustee on behalf of the British legatee had paid a large sum of money for rent and upkeep and that it would be very unreasonable that they should both lose the property and pay the cost of upkeep.\n\nIt was agreed that the money should be released.\n\nIt was decided that notwithstanding the Austrian case referred to in Colonel Thompson's letter to Mr. Dan Williams, the decision regarding Mrs. Gunter's case on the 15th August should stand.\n\nIt was agreed that in any case where the German enquired after his property which had been commandeered under the Defence of the Realm Regulations, an endeavour should be made to ascertain from the responsible authority what had happened to the property and whether it still existed. If it still existed, it should be recovered by the Public Trustee and accounted for to the Germans.\n\nIt was decided that the Custodian for Scotland should be authorised to return the four Sextants to the estimated value of £12.10.0.\n\nIt was agreed that this case clearly came within the decision of Mr. Justice P.O. Lawrence in the Houston Chamberlayne case and that there were no facts which would justify release as an act of grace.",

HONGKONG. 1st August, 1922.\n\nWith reference to your telegram of the 17th May relating to Madame Kupsch, I have the honour to forward for your information copies of further correspondence on the same subject, from which it will be seen that His Majesty's Minister at Peking concurred in the proposal that an advance of £3,000 should be allowed pending the settlement of her claim to her late husband's estate, and that payment was accordingly effected through the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation at Shanghai.\n\n2. Madame Kupsch is the widow of a German national who died intestate in Shanghai in 1916, and is now registered with her three children aged 8, 12, and 14 years of age respectively as French 'protégés'. She was a French subject before marriage and French law in such cases requires a period of residence in France before full French nationality can be resumed. Her children can only elect to become French subjects on reaching the age of 21 years. The French Consul General in Shanghai has, in view of her straitened circumstances and in order to enable her to settle her affairs in Shanghai, extended the period within which she should return to France.\n\n3.

Stubbs to His Britannic Majesty's Acting Consul-General, Shanghai, dated 4th May, 1922, together with a copy of a letter from ...\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE WINSTON CHURCHILL, M.P., &c., &c.\n\nOur 14/1/22",

Burkill (Meller and Company) and Mr. J.V.C. Davis, Mr. Bushe and I were also present.\n\nMr. Burroughs opened with a general statement of the position. He argued that conditions in Hong Kong were quite different from those in this country, and referred to the question of war risk insurance.\n\nSir G.

It had been suggested that the action of the Hong Kong Government",

As far as tante I but Bushes Ajection at A alme be wit beauting, we have him limited in the excess of his powers under the Arce.\n\n## Draft-conson \n\nMr. Ormsby Gore \n\nYou will remember that the Government of Hong Kong passed an Ordinance giving the Governor in Council power to deport British subjects without trial or any form of judicial inquiry. The object was to get rid of seditious Indians, though no particular race was mentioned. The Government of India objected, `56195/22` you decided to support Hongkong. India appealed to the precedent of the China Order in Council which provides for judicial inquiry. The Foreign Office tell us they think deportation by administrative order indefensible in time of peace.\n\nWe want to have and retain the power to deport these seditious Indians without a formal trial, and on further consideration, we are afraid that we shall not retain the power unless some kind of inquiry before a judge is held. Accordingly, Mr. Bushe has suggested a new Ordinance providing that a judge shall report, but that the Governor in Council shall be free to decide whatever his report. Presumably, it would only be in most exceptional circumstances that the Governor would decline to adopt the Judge's report.\n\nI have slightly altered the wording as the existing Ordinance covers cases of persons about to act in a manner prejudicial to peace and order, as well as those who have been guilty...",

Burling (Melle and Company) and Mr. J.V.C. Davis, Mr. Bushe and I were also present.\n\nMr. Burroughs opened with a general statement of the position. He argued that conditions in Hong Kong were quite different from those in this country, and referred to the question of war risk insurance.\n\nSir G. Grindle said that before the discussion went further it would in his opinion be useful if he were to state the general position of the Imperial Government in the matter. He stated that it had been necessary for war reasons for the Government of Hong Kong to take the action which was taken as to the requisition of ships. The Secretary of State's attitude as to action was that either it was legal or if it were not and for the sake of argument he was prepared to admit that it was hopelessly illegal, it must be made legal. The Indemnity Ordinance was not a device of the Hong Kong Government to meet their own special difficulties, it was passed on the instructions of His Majesty's Government, as similar Ordinances were passed in Colonies similarly situated, and was intended to carry out the deliberate intention and decision of His Majesty's Government that shipowners in Hong Kong and elsewhere in the Colonies must not be placed in any way in a more favourable position than shipowners in this country.

He contended that for this and other reasons, such as the high China exchange, firms concerned, his firm at any rate, had done far worse than home shipowners, and had in fact suffered heavy losses, in spite of the extra allowance over blue book rates authorised for the Far East by Colonel Thompson. Mr. Bushe expressed some difficulty in understanding this.\n\nMr. Borroughs said that it was unfortunate that the Hong Kong Government had not explained the position so fully and clearly as it had been set out now by Sir G. Grindle. Reference was made to negotiations with Mr. Fletcher, and to an offer of division of profits on a 50/50 basis said to have been made by the Hong Kong Government but turned down by the Unofficials. Mr. Burroughs said that, as Sir G. Grindle had pointed out that the Government's intention was that Hong Kong shipowners should not be better off than those in this country, it might be argued that in that case they ought not to be worse off, and asked if the position could not be considered on that basis.\n\nSir G. Grindle said that any offer on the lines referred to above, even if it had been decided upon by the Colonial Government would undoubtedly have failed to secure the Secretary of State's sanction. He could not accept Mr. Burroughs' corollary that Hong Kong shipowners ought not to be the worse off; all that His Majesty's Government had settled was that they ought not to be better off than those in this country, but he considered that if the shipowners could satisfy the Hong Kong Government that they were in fact...",

The confidential despatch (\"W\") explains why Sir Malcolm Delevingne's views were not adopted.\n\nIt may also be desirable to summarise here the process by which the draft clause was evolved. In the following paragraphs, references all relate to Gov. C.F. 5439/26 Straits.\n\nThe old ...

The point of the injunction is dealt with under the heading (3) in which counsel state that it raises \"a somewhat difficult question.

Lampson) will sign the agreement, and presumably Mr. Maze will so have informed the Chinese Government. The position therefore seems to be that (a) the Foreign Office want the agreement to be between the United Kingdom and China; (b) the Chinese Government will be expecting us to propose this, and (c) in the opinion of the Foreign Office the Chinese Government would probably prefer this form.\n\nIt is now for consideration whether we should contest the Foreign Office view on this point. My own view is that (in the circumstances summarised above) it would be better to agree. As however there is no great urgency about settling this question, as we shall have at any rate 5 or 6 weeks in which to think about it before the text (as agreed between the Governor and Mr. Maze) arrives, I suggest that we should telegraph as in draft herewith, and that papers should then be re-circulated for the consideration of the form which the agreement is to take. (Mr Bushe will have views on this).\n\n\"The Palestine precedent referred to in minutes on 72751A is an agreement between H.M. & the President of the Turkish Republic, applying to Palestine (with certain modifications) certain of the provisions of the U.K. - Turkish Commercial Treaty.

By Ord. 7 of 1875 (sec. 21), marriages must take place before a Registrar of marriages, or a competent minister in a licensed place of worship. The Governor can appoint Registrars specially, if he sees fit, to allow the marriage at any place by special licence.\n\nThe latest memo on this subject (2002) is on file `GR1178/1922/32(III)`. The Governor could grant a special licence for a marriage at a foreign Consulate, but I do not expect he would make the Consul a temporary Registrar of marriages for the purpose.\n\nOn the other hand, there is nothing, so far as I can trace, to prohibit a ceremony being conducted by a Consul where one of the parties belongs to the country represented by the Consul, for the purpose of the marriage being recognised in that country: but without being before a Registrar or minister in the proper place, the marriage would not be valid elsewhere.\n\nThe above sense may be sent to Bushe.

As to the action which should be taken, we were both of the opinion that, as an application for leave to appeal to the Privy Council would involve an appeal in a criminal matter against an acquittal, such application, after so long a delay, would be refused. Moreover, service on the respondents would, in all probability, be impossible.\n\nWe further considered that H.M.G. could not be asked, even in a matter of such importance, to pass special legislation to negative a legal doctrine propounded by the Court of Hong Kong. In view of all the circumstances, we came to the conclusion that the only action which could be taken was an attempt at a special reference to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, under section 4 of 3 and 4 William IV, Chapter 41. The application for this special reference would require careful wording, which Sir Maurice Gwyer considered should put the matter in a general way and not as an appeal from an inconvenient decision on a particular point of law.\n\nBefore making the application for a reference, the opinion of the Law Officers would have to be taken, and it was decided that Sir Maurice Gwyer should put up the case, which would then be discussed with the Legal Adviser of the Colonial Office. After agreement on its terms, it should go forward as a joint opinion of the Legal Advisers of the two Departments.\n\nBefore sailing, Mr. Bushe informed me that he considered the Court in Hong Kong was wrong in law, on the ground, I gathered, that the facts on which the accused were charged amounted to piracy.",

This jurisdiction is not, however, exercised in the case of other offences, which may be akin to piracy jure gentium, created by Statute. Hence, as Mr. Trusted points out in his minute of 7.10.31, which was endorsed by Mr. Bushe, an indictment under S.1. of 12 and 13 Vict. Chap. 96, would fail, as the jurisdiction of Courts to try offences under this Statute is \"municipal\". Nationals only would, so far as areas outside the territorial limits of its jurisdiction are concerned, be within its ambit. Not being clothed with the characteristics given to piracy jure gentium by the comity of nations, it could give no jurisdiction to the British Courts to try foreigners committing offences against its provisions outside territorial waters. Similar considerations apply to offences in contravention of the provisions of 7 Will. 4 and 1 Vict. Chap. 88.\n\nIn these circumstances, the suggestion of Stuart King is open to the same objections as that of the Admiralty in para. 4 of 12.\n\nIf I am right, the only remedy we can adopt is either to get the unfortunate verdict of the Court of Hong Kong reversed, or to alter by law the interpretation of piracy jure gentium. As regards the first suggestion, we have decided that special reference to the J.C. is the only method to adopt. With regard to the second, this should be adopted only if the first fails.\n\nAccording to para. 2 of Mr. Justice Lindsell's Judgment, what exactly constitutes piracy is left to",

In view of the fact that we had set out the results of our researches in a long minute to the Treasury of the 9th March, the Case does not do more than set out shortly the nature of the problems, and draw their attention to the contents of that minute and other relevant matters.\n\nIn view of the fact that we were asked to prepare this Case in conjunction with yourself and the Foreign Office, I am sending a copy of the draft to Beckett. I shall be glad if you will return the draft to me in due course with any observations you desire to make.\n\nYours sincerely,\nG SK/ABP\n\nH.G.

The Governor also, on instructions, utilised section 6 of the Ordinance to order expulsion by a ship leaving for Saigon, where the French are extremely anxious to catch him. Nguyen ai quoc himself states that his arrival at Indo-China will be followed by his immediate execution, and this notwithstanding, there are no grounds for extradition proceedings against him. The Attorney-General, Hong Kong, was against sending this man to French territory on the ground that it was for all intents and purposes extradition in a case where no extradition proceedings lay. This course was, however, adopted in deference to the wishes of the French authorities. On 11th and 12th September last, the Full Court in Hong Kong, to which Nguyen ai quoc had appealed, declared the orders under sections 3 and 6 to be valid, but gave leave to appeal to the Privy Council, Nguyen ai quoc being detained in police custody in the meantime, and his counsel stated that the appeal was because of the shipping order under section 6, and if that were withdrawn and Nguyen ai quoc allowed to leave Hong Kong in his own way, he would do so. This is how things are at present, except an application has been received to permit this man to come to England, which has not yet been dealt with.\n\n2.\n\ndone.\n\nThe question is what should now be\n\n(a)",

I gather that Sir Stafford Cripps was of the opinion that an attempt to defend this order might result in the validity of the deportation order under section 3 being questioned, which would be very embarrassing to the Hong Kong Government in any such case in the future. Sir Stafford Cripps was proposing to settle the matter, giving an undertaking that the order under section 6 would not be enforced, at the same time agreeing to pay, on behalf of the Hong Kong Government, a sum of £250 as part of the costs of the appeal.\n\nThe validity of the order under section 3 would then be unquestioned and the Hong Kong Government would be able to expel Nguyen ai Quoc without further ado, which is all they have desired to do all along.\n\nThis settlement would, of course, not be acceptable to the French Government but",

(No.27) to Mr. Bushe's letter of the same date (No.26) both of which I saw yesterday on my return from leave Mr. Burchell said \"The whole trouble arose from the very frank statement made at consultation that what had been done in Hong Kong was because extradition was not applicable, and therefore the end was to be obtained in another way.\"\n\nThis, I take it, is an attempt by Mr. Burchell to shift the responsibility for the settlement in question from the shoulders of Sir S. Cripps (whom he had asked to be allowed to brief as Leader) to mine.\n\nBe that as it may, this statement by Mr. Burchell is inaccurate and misleading, because Sir S. Cripps opened the consultation with the following crude observation, which surprised me: \"This is a ramp, is it not? I want some instructions in the matter from the Colonial Office.\" In short, before I or anyone else present at the consultation had said anything, he made it clear what his own opinion of the case was; and he then proceeded to amplify his views on the subject in response to Mr. Wilfrid Lewis's request as to what he meant by a \"ramp\".\n\nIn the discussion which ensued, and in which Sir S. Cripps pointed out that a lot of unpleasant things would probably be said in Court, it is true that, in reply to his further question as to whether the Colonial Office in this case were out for \"a man hunt\", I hastened to say that in my",

Cripps that I had myself advised (see my minute of 19.9.31 on Hong Kong 82837/31 attached) that the order made under section 6 of the Deportation Ordinance should be withdrawn, and that Quoc should be ordered to leave Hong Kong within a specified time; that I understood Mr. Bushe had agreed to this (see his minute of 6.10.31 on the same file); and that this was the course we had thought it proper to adopt.\n\nIt is also true that I explained to Sir S. Cripps that it was contrary to the principles generally observed to use the machinery provided by Ordinances for the expulsion of undesirable persons as a substitute for extradition proceedings (i.e. where such proceedings were not possible), and I cited the advice which I gave (and with which Mr. Bushe agreed) in the recent Trinidad case (see my minute of 15.6.32; Mr. Bushe's minute of 16.6.32; and the Department's letter to the Foreign Office No. 7 – in Trinidad 95839/32 attached)\n\nAll this, I may add, was gone into in view of the attitude adopted at the outset by Sir S. Cripps himself and in similar circumstances I should take the same line again. The apparent suggestion that a client should not be frank with counsel who is appearing for him is, to say the least of it, a novel one!\n\nIn any case, I told Sir S. Cripps at the consultation that I did not wish him to commit us in any way until I had informed Mr. Bushe (who, owing to other work, had been unable to attend and had asked me to go in his place) of the position.\n\nThis I did, and Mr. Bushe subsequently got into touch with Sir S.

I had no hand in settling the written terms which were discussed between Cripps and Pritt, and did not see them until after Counsel had withdrawn the appeal; I then said to Cripps, \"but he may want to go to Singapore, which would be intolerable\" and either Pritt or Cripps said, \"Oh no, it was only to enable him to select some Territory where he would be safe from the French.\"\n\nThe whole trouble arose from the very frank statement made at consultation that what had been done in Hong Kong was because Extradition was not applicable and therefore the end was to be attained in another way.\n\nYours sincerely,\n\nC.T.D.

The words \"be capable of\" and \"and any such acceptance or performance shall be ipso facto an avoidance of his office of Chief Justice or Puisne Judge\" are both unnecessary and dangerous; unnecessary because acceptance of an office inconsistent in any case with a Judge's judicial position would be misconduct and dangerous for reasons which are best illustrated by the following hypothetical case.

        "content_text": "## \n\nSeventeenth Century published in 1931. At pages 69 and 70 mention is made of the trial of Thomas Smith in 1637 before the Assembly of Maryland. Smith was one of the crew of a pinnace which had come into conflict with two of Cornwallis's ships off Kent Island. The pinnace had been beaten off with the loss of three killed and one taken. Smith was charged with piracy, found guilty and executed, although nothing more than an attempt to rob appears to have been committed. Miss Crump's statement is not very authoritative, but she appears to have got it from the \"Archives of Maryland Proceedings of the General Assembly 1637 to 1664\". At the end of the book where Miss Crump deals with Bibliography, she mentions \"Archives of Maryland\" edited by W. H. Browne and B.C. Steiner. Baltimore 1883-1922.\n\nThe \"Archives of Maryland\" comprising 21 volumes are in the Library of the Royal Colonial Institute and I have had copied from Volume 1 the material extracts relating to the trial of Thomas Smith a copy of which I enclose for your information.

I had forgotten, if I was ever aware, that this matter had ever been discussed. We propose therefore to instruct Counsel to say that they appear on the instructions of the Secretary of State for the purpose of rendering such assistance to Their Lordships as may be possible by ensuring that the arguments in support of the view that robbery is an essential element of piracy are before them.\n\nThe essential thing in the Attorney-General's view is apparently that the Hong Kong Government should not be regarded as in any way a party to the proceedings. I think this is substantially in accordance with the arrangement we made this morning, but I shall be glad if you will confirm it. Gwyer sees no objection to Jowitt and Kenelm\n\nP.T.O.",

I enclose copies of correspondence with the Home Office in connection with the terms of the amending Ordinance. It will be observed that two points in connection with the Ordinance were referred to the Home Office for advice. First, it was questioned whether untried prisoners who have been certified by the Medical Officer of the prison to be of unsound mind should be removed to an asylum without first being brought up for trial in the ordinary way, and if unfit to plead then sent to the asylum by the Judge.\n\nPage 10\n\nIt will be observed that the Home Office explain that in this country powers somewhat analogous to those taken in Hong Kong by the Ordinance under consideration do in fact exist, although in practice they do not appear to be exercised except in cases of extreme urgency on medical grounds.\n\nIn these circumstances, I would suggest for your consideration that the powers in this respect taken by Ordinance No.1 of 1935 should also only be exercised in cases of extreme urgency on medical grounds.\n\n3.

In sending copies of 4 and 5 to the Foreign Office I suggest that it would be as well to say, if Mr. Bushe so advises, that the Secretary of State is advised that the Governor's presumption at the end of his telegram No.4 is correct and that, subject to any observations the Foreign Office may offer, it is proposed to raise no objection to the Governor's intention to proceed against the recalcitrant owners by law.\n\nPage 23\n\n22.7",

But all will be long scale posts.\n\n(a) This proposal involves a variety of changes: The Crown Solicitor, who is at present graded with the Registrar and Land Officer, will be more favourably treated in future: a super scale post at £1350.\n\nThere will be no promotion bar in the new scale, so that all the other posts will be graded up or graded down respectively to the new long scale. The grading up for some involves a considerable improvement, the grading down in others a considerable reduction.\n\nI am not sure that there is not a case here for a promotion bar at £1000 + £50 Residential Allowance, the Registrar, Land Officer, and perhaps the Official Receiver going into the higher grade and the others into the lower. We might suggest this to the Governor.\n\nAs regards the minimum, again subject to Sir G. Bushe's observations, I should be inclined to drop the minimum to £700. We could, if necessary, combine with this reduction an arrangement like that in the attached print for an increase in the initial emoluments according to age and experience, but as the posts only require solicitors' qualifications, and we have not so far extended that arrangement to solicitors, I should be inclined on the whole not to do so, unless it is essential.\n\n2.

Mr. Gent has also consulted Sir G. Bushe.\n\nThere are really two questions here from a legal point of view. The first is the precise application of the Barcelona Convention. The Admiralty view in No. 4 is that these particular torpedo boats would not be entitled to \"in transit status\" under the Convention as Hong Kong could be considered to be part of United Kingdom territory for the purpose of the Convention, and hence these boats would not be on a passage which began as well as terminated beyond the frontier of the State. The wording of the Convention makes its precise application on this point somewhat doubtful, but Sir G. Bushe is inclined to think that the Admiralty interpretation is incorrect and that Hong Kong cannot be considered as United Kingdom territory for the purpose of the Convention. In this case, it is hardly necessary to seek...",

That is the post for which they are recruiting, surely it is better to recruit for it and to tell the candidate that he may be asked to act, or may be transferred to a Magistracy or Crown Counsel. Do try and impress upon them that the legal people must be recruited for, and appointed to definite posts, and that that can be done without prejudice to their being transferred to or acting in other posts as occasion requires it.\"\n\n* Men recruited for Magistrate vacancies are to be recruited as Magistrates, and it may be, therefore, that \"Magistrate\" is a specific post.\n\nMr. Harford has shown that the \"post for which they are recruiting\" is probably not that of Official Receiver etc. I am afraid I am responsible for the idea that it was.\n\nIt appears, however, from 4) that unless the posts of Magistrate and O.R. etc. are \"specific posts\", although on the time scale, the Governor proposes to use the title \"Crown Counsel\" even for an officer initially appointed as a Magistrate or as O.R. and this is at variance with the principles in the above quoted minute.",

Sir Grattan Bushe has advised strongly however against using the Bill or indeed any ordinance to deal with this question and has suggested that any action should be taken by Defence Regulation.\n\nI have discussed with Mr. Gent and submit a letter to Mr. Scott at the Foreign Office.\n\n**(Sgd.)** W.

Mr. Gent and I have discussed these with Sir Grattan Bushe and subsequently prepared the attached draft telegram, which sets out our views. \n\n2016 WJBLF 25.6.41.\n\nThere is something rather obscure to my mind in this affair. We have got a series of new reasons in this latest telegram, the effort to which, to me, they appear to represent is in contrast with the facts of Mrs. Black's case and the intention in \"drastic action\" if taken in this necessary, morally grave case of defiance? Defence Regs shall not be surprised if still thin excuses for inaction may be produced in response to the pressure which this attached off-tel gives. 25-6. WlGent\n\nPage 10\n\nI should be inclined to send a more sympathetic telegram to the Governor saying that the Secretary of State is very disturbed at this affair, and while he hesitates to press the man on the spot to take the action which seems desirable, he does not understand (as in paragraphs 2&3 of draft) and would be glad if the Governor would explain.\n\n25/6/41 \nYes, I like your suggestion.
