On observing that we were under sail to deceive them, they approached, and I suppose we stood close in shore to cut off their retreat, they tacked and made for the shore, and succeeded to get among the rocks off Breaker Point, where the Hermes could not follow. I despatched the boats under Lt. Burton, and on their rearing, the Junks opened fire on them: finding this, I pushed in in the steamer, got our bow gun to bear and fire a few well-directed shots, which, and the nearer approach of the boats, induced the Pirates to take to their canoes. They landed, followed by Lieutenant Burton and his party, who captured 3 and would have captured more, but that I made his recall, seeing a great number of the villagers turn out armed, I was doubtful for what purpose; they however chased the Pirates and stopped them. I then backed out and went in chase of the others, leaving Lieutenant Burton and the boats to deal with the 2 captured junks.\n\nOther two piratical vessels finding that they could not escape, closed, and lashed themselves together, prepared to fight, and sent people aloft to throw stink-pots, as we came alongside of them firing musketry. They put their helms hard over and ranged up under our bows, commenced throwing stinkpots most furiously. We then backed off and opened fire. We offered to spare them, if they would yield, but they would not. Finally, having driven them below with grape, canister, and musketry, Lieutenant Burton, who had returned some time previously, boarded and took possession, without any casualty on our part.

        "content_text": "HONGKONG, 7TH JUNE, 1853. did not dare to attempt a landing. One lorcha got into the midst of the river, but no armed prizes. They \n\nSIR GEORGE BONHAM'S VISIT TO NANKING. (From the North China Herald, May 14 and 21,) The Hermes started on the 24th April, with His Excellency on board, and having in tow the Chinese river craft, under the charge of Mr E. A. Reynolds, in which it had at first been arranged Mr Meadows should proceed alone,\n\nOn the 26th April, the difficulties of the intervening navigation having been overcome, the Taoutae's fleet of lorchas and square-rigged vessels was passed at anchor, about 12 miles on this side of Chin-keang. At about 1 A.M., the Hermes anchored off Silver Island, where both mandarins spoken to the day before and fishermen in the immediate vicinity declared the Insurgents had an outpost. Mr Meadows, on landing in the Chinese boat, found in the temples only a few priests, who, however, stated that certain junks, lying opposite the heights of Chin-keang about a mile farther up, were manned by the Insurgents. To these vessels Mr Meadows repaired, but found them unarmed, and occupied only by two or three men in each, who declared themselves to be the original trading crews, compelled after their capture to lie at that spot. In the meantime the steamer weighed anchor and followed the China-boat; and a great bustle was observed on shore. One or two armed boats on the beach began firing guns, and the Insurgent troops were seen running to man the stockades both there and on the heights above. The cause of all this was soon found not to be merely the appearance of the Hermes, but the approach of the whole of the Taoutae's lorchas, &c., which had weighed anchor and closely followed her; and which appeared to have been sooner descried from the heights than had been done from the steamer, owing to a thick fog on the river which only then began to clear off. The lorchas had all red flags that at a little distance were not to be distinguished from a faded British red-ensign, and after the false proclamations that had been issued about steamers, the Insurgents naturally took the Hermes for the first of an attacking squadron. They accordingly opened a fire on her, and as the lorchas were rapidly nearing and a general action imminent, no course was left but to steam on at once to Nanking, which was done, after a note explanatory of the circumstances had been handed to a boat-man for delivery to the Insurgent Commanders. The Hermes continued to be fired at from junks and stockades on both sides of the river till she had passed Kwa-chow; and we are told that the occasional whizzing of round shot close over the awning of the quarter-deck by no means detracted from the excitement of the singular and highly picturesque scene there. As she had appeared in very suspicious company, and it had become still more necessary than before to convince the Insurgents of our neutrality, she did not even prepare to return the fire directed against her.\n\n...jaground at Silver Island, and had to signalize for assistance; whereon one of her fellows returned, into which her crew, after an hour or two, was transferred. The priests of the adjoining temples said it was then about dark, and that they retired to their dormitories for the night, but were soon roused by a loud report and found the vessel in flames. This account was corroborated by the Insurgents, who said they had not approached her, and that she must have been fired by her crew before being deserted. We are informed that the Mandarins are bound to pay $10,000 for every lorcha destroyed; also that this particular vessel was reported as having on board, when lost, a sum of three or four thousand dollars recently sent up as pay for the fleet. The success of that day is therefore likely to prove an expensive one.\n\nSo far as could be ascertained or perceived by the Hermes on her return a week after, the attack had had no other effect on the Insurgents than to make them dispose their grain junks in a position more protected by their batteries, and to mount more guns in, and make material additions to, the latter.\n\nAfter leaving behind her the fight at Chin-keang on the 26th April, the Hermes steamed on till dark, when she anchored about ten or twelve miles below Nanking. During the night, several large timber-rafts passed her on fire. In the forenoon of the 27th, she anchored off the northern angle of Nanking, below the first battery planted by the Insurgents to defend the entrance to two creeks running under the walls, and in which lay an immense number of large river junks. A great bustle was observed on shore, and a gun or two in the battery began firing at the Steamer, but ceased when two people (that had been taken the preceding day out of a junk) landed with a letter explaining that she had come with no hostile intentions. Shortly after, some eight or ten of the Insurgents came alongside in a small boat, the first to appear on the deck being a good-looking young man, an officer, in a close-fitting red Chinese jacket, who, from his long hair, was evidently a genuine \"rebel\" of old standing, and who, as the first specimen of these much-discussed people met with, was viewed and questioned with some interest by our countrymen. Other boats speedily followed, in one of which Mr Reynolds took a passage on shore, where he met with a civil reception from a leader in charge of the stockaded battery that had just been firing. In the meantime, a reply having been received to the note despatched on arrival, His Excellency sent Mr Meadows on shore to open a communication with some more influential leader. Mr Meadows, who was accompanied on the occasion by Lieut. Spratt, desired on landing to be led to the highest authority to whom immediate access could be obtained. He was in consequence brought, after a walk of about half an hour, into the presence of the two leaders known as the Northern and Assistant Princes, from whom he had a strange reception, followed by an equally extraordinary and very interesting conversation. The two gentlemen returned to their boat, surrounded, as in coming, by numbers of the armed crowd, but meeting with neither molestation nor insult.\n\nDuring the 28th, 29th, and 30th of April, the Hermes lay off the entrance to the creeks aforementioned, only occasionally shifting her position to avoid the fire-rafts sent down nightly by the Imperialists, in the hope, it was believed, of setting fire to the Insurgents' junks. On the 30th, Mr Meadows rode into the city in charge of a despatch, and was joined by a party consisting of Captain Fishbourne, Lieut. Burton, and Mr Woodgate. They were conducted close to the Tartar or Imperial Citadel, to a large private house occupied for the present by the four leaders next in rank to those bearing the title of Prince.\n\nOne of these exercises the functions of Criminal Chief Justice; and when our countrymen arrived, they found him just giving judgment in a case, declared by the females concerned to be one of rape, and for which two men were then condemned to death.\n\nDuring which they were received by the four occupants of the place and other officials, the approach of evening compelled the party to return to the steamer; previous arrangements for proceeding up the river on the next day forcing them to decline a pressing invitation to dine and sleep there that night and be introduced to the Princes in the morning.\n\nThis portion of the Yang-tsze must at all times have much interest. Out of the wide expanse of channel through which the turbid waters of the third river in the world roll rapidly towards the Ocean, rise at the distance of two or three miles from each other two high islands, covered with temples and wood. Between these, known to foreigners as Golden and Silver Islands, the heights of Chin-keang, a high promontory, likewise capped with temple and pagoda, overlooks the stream from its southern bank. The islands were not occupied by the Insurgents; but the heights and large portions of the river-banks underneath had been fortified by stockades. Past Silver Island and up into this scene the lorchas now advanced, and, sailing close in-shore, opened a vigorous and well-sustained fire on the stockades and on the armed boats on and near the beach. There were few guns in the latter, but these the Insurgents, nothing daunted by the sudden attack, coolly manned and discharged on their advancing enemy. In the meantime, the noise of the cannonade was bringing down numbers of their comrades from the city, the officers on horseback and the men running along on foot. Many of these bore banners, a few had matchlocks, but the great majority were armed only with swords and spears. Yet they came rapidly down and planted themselves on the beach in the face of the heavy fire, with a boldness that excited the admiration of our countrymen.\n\nAt day-light on the first of May, the Hermes got under weigh and proceeded up the river.\n\nWhen about 8 miles above Nanking, some 15 or 20 river craft of the Canton build and rig (centipedes) were observed ahead, getting their sails up and going off as if in flight. They were at once perceived to be the Imperialist upper flotilla. The rearmost was soon seen to be proceeding quietly to the steamer and seeing the latter stop, doubtless comprehended there was no hostile intention, and therefore thought proper to fire a gun, which sent its shot over the bows of the Hermes. The boat that had been called alongside was sent on to tell the others that there was no occasion either to fire or to move, as the Hermes had come merely to get information as to the state of affairs. She proceeded on this mission very leisurely, and as two more shotted guns were fired by vessels she had spoken to, Captain Fishbourne ordered the ports to be dropped and the guns prepared. After this, there was no more firing.\n\nPage 310",

H. CARVALHO, Secretary\n\nHongkong, 20th January, 1857.\n\nTo the Editor of the \"HONGKONG REGISTER.\"\n\nMACAO, 1st February, 1857.\n\nDEAR SIR—The 10 mandarins, who came from Shang-hae, have been here for a few hours, and having taken their dinner at Cau-qa hong, embarked in the ensuing for Casa Branca, and from there to Yan-san and Cass feathers; and 5 of them bare blue buttons. Two of the mandarins have red buttons and peso sent to Caatho to assist Yeh—and it is said, that two of them were formerly in Canton in the time of the first war with Commissioner Lin.\n\n\"Every thing here is quiet, but I say in the harbour a good many mandarin junks displaying a varying flag. Though people are at this time they cannot do any harm here, I would question, that. What could we do prevent their attacking this place and carrying away the heads of the English that are living here?\n\nI am, &c,\n\nThe Hongkong Register.\n\nHONGKONG, TUESDAY, 3 FEBRUARY, 1857.\n\nNOTICE—The Hours of Posting Wrons in the CENTRAL POST OFFICE, Hollywood Road, are on the Subirth at 11 am, and stand on the Evening of every Wednesday at 7 o'clock.\n\nSIXTY.\n\nWe recorded a pedestrian feat last week —walking to the top of Victoria Peak and back six times in twenty-four hours. The same gentleman did the same task this week in twelve hours, which shows, speaking in all honor and praise, that he is an artful dodger; for the latter feat though apparently more difficult, is in reality easier.\n\nProof—a friend of ours went up and down in fifty-seven minutes.—say one hour at four miles. Four times six's twenty-four; and good steady walking, making the trip equal to twenty-four miles in twelve hours is not very great walking.\n\nTaking all the difficulties into account on an undertaking like this is more easily carried through at one heat than in two, we have no doubt that with, or, from what we hear, without halting, the gentleman who has done the six times could easily do the eight if he set his mind on it.\n\nWe have been trying to persuade our ... C. to put himself in training and try the feat—but he says he has been once to the gap and considers that enough is as good as a feast.\n\nNo. 5. FEBRUARY 3, 1857.\n\nThe climate of London is one thing, and the climate of Hongkong is quite another.\n\na more material matter than that of Hongkong, we must decidedly feel of any corps being sent away from this place.\n\nAn urgent necessity exists for augmenting and making the most effective part of the regular police force here, many of whom do their duty conscientiously to the best of their ability—but the superintendence of London is one thing: and the superintendence in Hongkong is another.\n\nThe screw Steamer Sir James Brooke left this at noon yesterday to Hongkong, having on board three companies of Sepoys, a detachment of European Artillery-men, for service in China, despatched on the requisition at the hands of Hongkong.\n\nThe troops consisted of two companies the 29th M. N. I., the European Artillery-men, Pang, and the Company of the Rifle Company accompanying this force are Major Cheslett, Captain Cazalet, Lieut. Foote, and Passingham of the gun, Capt. Man, Lieut. Forster of the Madras Artillery, Dr. Lloyd, Assistant Surgeon, Apothecary Edwards and Sub-Conductor Ball.\n\nThe Sir James Brooke has been chartered for Twelve thousand dollars.\n\nFrom these and other causes which might be specified Hongkong is not in effect London, and a system which may do very well at the latter place may require important modifications at the former.\n\nWe can never obtain the same raw material for a police here as obtainable in London, but we certainly, both in ordinary and in extraordinary times, such as the present, can make the most of our raw—excessively raw material.\n\nFirst: we would make the men effective by putting them on duty for a four hours beat; and if that could not be done conveniently from the central police station, we would do it from three stations—East, West, and Central.\n\nThe S.S. Auckland brought about 100 tons of shot, shell and ammunition from Pinang last week, which will be sent to China as soon as possible.\n\nBraitonore crew Pressa, Jan. 22.\n\nOn the arrival of the Mail at 6.30 PM of Sunday the 1st February we did, for the convenience of our subscribers, what we have not done before—viz: apply for a pass for two coolies to carry the respective Papers, which will secure early delivery.\n\nTwo passes were granted dated 10th January good for 21 days, the time expiring on the 31st January. Of course the 1st February was beyond the pale of the pass but coming direct from the Superintendent of Police we deemed it all right, thinking that police matters were going on in their usual cuddle.\n\nIn this belief the passes were on the night of the 2nd instant given to two of our Chinese Compositors to take them home, and we were somewhat astonished on being awakened at half past twelve, and informed, that our men were in custody.\n\nWe went down to the police office, and there we found the authorities pondering over the passes, and wondering to see the names of the boys written in red pencil, that being the color of the printing of the new passes.\n\nWe explained that a red pencil is a very common article in a printing office and that the names had been written in with that; then on making ourselves responsible for the lads we saw them let go.\n\nMARRIAGE.\n\nAt Belgrave-square, on the 24th November, the wife of Admiral Sir T. COCHRANE, of a Son.\n\nAt Victoria, Cox, ELIZABETH SANDERS.\n\nMarriage Register xi:10.\n\nON SUNDAY, the 1st instant, the P. & O.

Why the Gaol brigade.\n\nThey step well together, and they carry their arms as if they know how to use them, neither of which assertions can be made of the rest of the police force.\n\nAnd what does this smart active clearly appear to arise from, but from discipline.\n\nThey are in barracks; they have good wholesome food: they are properly drilled, and the result follows, which always follows when men are well cared for, and well disciplined.\n\nA contemporary recommends a mounted patrol.\n\nThe Times are serious, and perhaps it might cheer the spirits of the colonists to see a mounted policeman with his trousers half way up his leg. his legs swaying backwards and forwards like pendulums, in what the equestrian, audaciously, imagines is rising to the trot of the bony police charger; while by his side clatters a word, that he could not draw—or use if he drew.\n\nWe have no fault to find with the policeman, nor with Janier Burton, who captured the two lads, nor with his superiors who were trying to see out a\n\nWe record without either regret or astonishment the above event.\n\nIt is another sign and are we less amused at the figure of certain superior officers who lean back to prevent the jar of the canter on their spinal column.\n\nAmusement is sometimes very useful, and we expect that amusement would be the extent of the utility of a mounted patrol.\n\nWe have given serious advice about the police, and finding that of no avail we have attacked them by ridicule; but they are thick-skinned animals, and we fear we are far from having pricked them into watchfulness by our sting.\n\nWe will not give up our task however, knowing how much depends on the vigilance of the police, and as vigilance is not natural in them, as it certainly is not, we shall try and establish it as an exotic which perhaps with due care may become a thriving plant.\n\nFirst then, the whole system of the police is wrong.\n\nThe day duty extends from six o'clock in the morning to ten o'clock at night, and night duty from ten o'clock at night until six o'clock in the morning.\n\nAll the changes of the day and night duty being effected from the central police station.\n\nThe hours of patrolling of each constable on night service is for the whole extent of the time.—night hours.\n\nWe believe this is the London system; and may for anything we know answer very well there; and perhaps it would answer very well here, if all the conditions were the same as they are in London, which they are not.\n\nOfficers,\n\nServants\n\nHank & Pike\n\nArtificers,\n\nFollowers 22, servants 18,\n\nDATA.\n\n2. 37.N.T Art.N.L\n\nDepartures.\n\nNovember 28th Armitage, for Shanghai: 23, Countess of Rarfield, for Shanghae; December,\n\n8, Mencide, fur Sigita\n\nThe amount of bills drawn by the East India Company on their respective Presidencies, from the 26th ult. to the 9th inst, is as follows:-\n\n£  s. d.\n\nBengal......442,920 12\n\nRate of Exchange. 91 2.

The whole operation was effected with a loss of two men of the Fifty-ninth killed and about six wounded; the latter are doing, worth attention.\n\nOn the 14th I went over to the E-sing shop to have conversation with Ahlam about that contract only\n\nQuestion—Then Sir, do you mean to say you did not know that E-Bing had a bakery near the American Naval Store.\n\nAnswer—What have I to do as an Editor of Newspaper with B-ring's stores.\n\nI wanted to say that I know of a bakery being near the Dutch Fallyly were repulsed, and the Admiral bombarded the city from the Fort and the Niger\n\nOn Sunday night, the 18th instur, an attack against foreigners, us against their own Government, was made by large force of Chinese on the Dutch Fallyly were repulsed, and the Admiral bombarded the city from the Fort and the Niger\n\nIt is a remonstrance made by, know that E-Bing had a bakery near the American Naval Store.\n\nRead, however, distinctively, it shews the prejudices which have to be overcaico before English: Commerce can again take its fitting intration of laying, be had only put it up to deceive the mandrains, who had been troubling him.\n\nI told him, the garden and, after establishing his quarters in Jous WAY-fam stoward the Sultana, I know the Tee-to-tum fort, came down here on the 23d\n\nMARKETA—Notwithstanding the warlike operations which have been carried on since the departure of the Calcutta steamer on the 28 ult.

        "content_text": "## Police Court on the first examination in this case Dr. Bridges discovered, greatly to his surprise, that Ahlum had been committed on a warrant issued by a Magistrate - and the release of Ahlum in any other than the customary form, therefore, was an error. Had Dr. Bridges made that admission, he, the defendant, was prepared to admit on his side that he had written under an erroneous impression; in fact, and he trusted the Jury would not overlook the fact - he, the defendant, had written to Dr. Bridges offering to correct any error that might be pointed out to him.\n\nThe Acting Attorney General here rose to say that the letter referred to had not been put in, and could not be taken notice of.\n\nThe defendant replied that the letter itself was attached to the depositions at the Police Court... Those depositions had been read throughout by Dr. Bridges that day, and as allusion was made in them to the letter, it formed distinctly a part of the Crown's case; and the defendant moved that the letter should be read. To this the Court assented. It ran as follows:\n\nCopy of letter to Dr. Bridges, dated 16th August, 1857. \"I have heard incidentally that during my absence in Vancouver this week you have been desirous of obtaining my presence at the Police Court with a view to the institution against me of an action for libel. I lose no time on my return to request you to indicate to me the untruthfulness of any passage of my writing in the **Friend of China** newspaper having reference to yourself, in order to enable me on being satisfied on the point, to make the explanation the law requires. I need hardly say that I have no knowledge of having said one word more than the rules of journalism justify, and in all matters I have been solely actuated by a desire for the public benefit. Personally, I have never had a word of altercation with you, and have therefore no spleen to gratify by saying more than is consistent with truth and justice.\"\n\nSigned as Editor and Proprietor.\n\n- and as truth and justice were his sole objects - the defendant continued - at the conclusion of the reading of the letter and in the pursuit of them he had been solely actuated by a sense of public duty, so he felt satisfied that an unanimous acquittal would be promptly accorded to him in this case. Dr. Bridges, as Officiating Colonial Secretary, had committed an error while in the performance of duty. For that error he must bear the consequence of public rebuke. Dr. Bridges knew well that on the civil side of that Court an action would not lie - the law is distinct on that point - every man must bear the consequence of his own acts; — and though he had brought his action on the criminal side, the spirit of the law was still the same. Dr. Bridges was a public servant - if he committed an error in the performance of duty he was bound to stand by the consequences.\n\nDr. Bridges had said that had he done his duty to himself, regardless of others, — Ablum should have been released on the 8th of July. It was not so. The time for arguing the point of law in **Taye int v. Ahlam** had not expired then, and he must have been kept? But what should he, the defendant, have done when he found Ahlum was gone? - What, why have indicted Dr. Bridges and Mr. Inglis for a conspiracy, and have brought them to this Court as criminals, not leave them to come as witnesses. But no - he, the defendant, respected his Government, whatever he thought of individual members of it. Instead of pursuing this extreme course, he memorialized the Secretary of State, and after he memorialized him, this action was instituted. The Secretary at home would take due note of this, — the consequences by and bye.\n\nBut Dr. Bridges had not admitted his error - On the contrary, he had that day told the court that Mr. May was the party in error in saying that Ahlum had been committed on his warrant. Mr. May would be called on to testify presently, and then we should see how the matter really stood. But there was a new feature in the case to-day - we had a governor's warrant as the authority under which Ahlum was held until his release. It was singular, indeed, that the Sheriff, the Governor of the gaol when Ahlum was committed, never saw - never heard of that warrant - a warrant addressed not to the Sheriff, the Governor according to local ordinance - but to the Keeper, an unordinanced functionary.\n\nHe, the defendant, was not deeply versed in law; he came there with the intention to refer... but one solitary law book, a book from his private library. He had no desire to take advantage of any quirk or quibble in law to obtain a verdict. What he had written was for the public benefit, and he would stand by it; and he should prove by irrefragable evidence that what he had written was for the public good, and a favourable verdict must be accorded to him. But though not much versed in legal practice, he, the defendant, entertained, he believed, a just appreciation of the constitution of his country, and one thing he knew was that when an ordinance passed by the Council of the Government vested power in any one particular officer — no warrant from a Governor, no letter from a Colonial Secretary, could override that authority. It was on that point he stood. He would show that there had been, in the words of his plea, an official interference with the ordinary course of conducting public business; — by that interference the public had been aggrieved, and therefore in exposing the conduct complained of, he had only performed a public duty.\n\nDr. Bridges does not want any investigation ordered by the Home Secretary, and so stops it in the bud. Why he, the defendant, had written things of Dr. Bridges of a much more damaging tendency than the articles now charged as libel, and yet Dr. Bridges had taken no notice of them! - Look at that piece about six weeks or two months ago, in which it was stated Dr. Bridges took fees from a miserable, ignorant Chinaman, thirteen times more than the ordinance for fees and costs would warrant; and he, the defendant, stigmatized that act in plain, unmistakable Anglo-Saxon language - he called it extortion; and it was extortion — foul extortion. Why did not Dr. Bridges bring an action for libel then?\n\nBut how stood the case now, with what had he charged Dr. Bridges? Why, he had in effect said that, from antecedent circumstances — Dr. Bridges's conduct in releasing Ahlum in the way he had, was highly suspicious. It appeared so, and so - and if it did not so appear — what did it appear like? That was the question for the court's consideration. Had Dr. Bridges's conduct, keeping in mind antecedent circumstances, been such as to lead any unbiassed person to think other than that it appeared as the defendant in his paper had described it? The Jury were not there to try Dr. Bridges on his motives, even though they did agree — as they must agree — that appearances were against him.\n\nThat was not the issue. Dr. Bridges's motives — Dr. Bridges's character - was none of their concern; only this was left for them to consider - Was his conduct such as to justify the defendant in saying appearances were against him, that in the words of the libel as charged, his action was \"apparent.\"\n\nThe Defendant had spoken of antecedent circumstances. He would particularize them, and would go back to January last. Ahlum was in gaol on a charge of murder. Mr. Gaskell had been requested by the prisoner's friends to undertake his defence, and that gentleman had retained Mr. Day — and having reference to this position of affairs, Mr. Anstey, our Attorney General, a gentleman not over prone to flatter or say kind things even of professional brethren, had declared in that Court that a better or more able Barrister for the defence could not have been found; while of Mr. Gaskell, it was only necessary to remember that he was the oldest of our local practitioners, and admitted by all to stand at the top of his profession. This was the position of affairs on the 17th of January — two days after the poisonings. Matters after this proceeded in due course, up to the 28th of January, when, all at once, the public discovered a new actor on the stage in the person of Dr. Bridges. By some means or other, that acute gentleman had discovered that the Sheriff had found $1225 in Ahlum's chest. Dr. Bridges at this time had just returned from England. Certain correspondence now afloat tends to show that at that peculiar juncture, he was not overburdened with dollars. When he heard of Ahlum's $1225, then...\n\nwhen in prospective he saw them, his - we cannot be surprised at what he did - What was it? Why - riding down all professional etiquette — breaking through all legal rule - without waiting to be requested by a Solicitor - he paid a visit to the wholesale poisoner, in gaol; — and he said to him, \"Ahlum, give me an order for your dirty money,\" and \"I'll be the man to dust the eyes of a Jury for you.\" And now we will read the result of that attempt.\n\n### SUPREME COURT, 28th January, 1857. THE QUEEN v. THE POISONERS.\n\nDr. Bridges moved on behalf of the Prisoner Ahlum of the Esing shop, that the Sheriff, Mr. May, be ordered to pay over the sum of $1225, being monies seized by the Sheriff on the premises and claimed on behalf of the prisoner.\n\n| Role          | Action                                                                 |\n|---------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| The Chief Justice | said that the objection to this motion was that there were two sets of Attorneys retained. |\n| The Attorney General | assented to this, but observed that there were also other grave objections. |\n| Mr. Bridges   | enquired what brought the Attorney General there at all?              |\n| The learned gentleman | expressed his surprise, as Mr. Bridges having served the Sheriff with notice of his motion, must have been prepared to expect opposition both on the part of the Crown and the Sheriff. |\n\nThe Court then said that it most certainly would not make the order as sought. Whether a portion of the sum might be allowed was a different question. The Chief Justice here remarked that an affidavit of the prisoner himself had just come down from the gaol, claiming the money as his own, and asserting himself to be quite solvent, and to be less indebted to other people than other people were to him. The Attorney General still thought that the Court should pause. After all, the Crown was now in possession, through its proper officer, the Sheriff, and the latter was bound to consider himself a Trustee of the money until the trial was over. The Court was bound to protect it from plunder.\n\nThe Court suggested here the following arrangement: that the money should continue in the Sheriff's custody until the trial was over; — that, in the event of the prisoner's acquittal, it should be paid over into his own hands, to be disposed of by himself — and that, in the opposite event of confiscation by his conviction, the Crown might consent to disburse such reasonable expenses of his defence as the Court should allow. The Attorney General expressed his readiness to consent on behalf of the Crown; Mr. Bridges, however, repudiated the suggestion, proposing instead of it that the Court should now fix the amount. But this the Court said was not the way to overcome the difficulty. In the end, Mr. Bridges reluctantly consented.\n\nA question then arose whether the Court should consider itself bound by the Fees and Costs Ordinance, if called upon to determine what was a reasonable sum.\n\n...and in this case, the man was acquitted - was it not shocking to think that that arrest entailed certain ruin? Was this our boasted English justice?\n\nThe members of the Jury, being men of some experience of Chinese character, knew that these people were remarkable for three things - First, Great timidity - Second - Inordinate desire, and Third - Recklessness of consequences in the mode of escape when indulgence of the last-named propensity brought them into danger. Give a Chinaman a contract by which he thinks he can make money, and mark the carelessness — the boldness with which he will borrow money at usurious interest! Let his carelessness bring him into trouble, mark again the absence of all regard for the interests of others with which he will attempt to get out of the net. Look at the prisoner charged with crime, how he perjures himself if he thinks it will free him from his difficulty. Ahlum's case was an illustration of all this. His desire ran for a Mandarin's button. For that, he risked his life. For that, he attempted to poison the whole of this community - But he was caught - his heart sank within him, and what was the consequence? Utter disregard of the interests of those to whom he was indebted: — and the man to take advantage of that position was not far distant.\n\nWell - the Government, knowing the timidity - the desire - the recklessness referred to - knowing also that none know these things so well as lawyers, that, in fact, there never was such a field for an unscrupulous practitioner as this of Hongkong - knowing this, have ordained a scale of fees and costs. Government have said - we have it on the authority of the Attorney General who drew the Ordinance that the Ordinance is mandatory. Government have said to the timid Chinese, when you are in trouble, you shall not sacrifice the interests of those to whom you are indebted, you shall not take your creditors' money and squander it in payment to a lawyer to get you out of your trouble - you shall only pay so much - and you, gentlemen of the bar, shall take no more. That was the position of the law as he, the defendant, understood it. But by whom was this law to be enforced? The Chief Justice cannot be expected to go out of his way to see to it. His Lordship, no doubt, will do justice in all cases coming before him, unless aided by the Press.\n\nAnd now we come to Ahlum again. Was he in distress for legal defence? Had the bar, to a man, refused to aid him? Was he to be allowed...\n\nDr. Bridges insisted that the Ordinance did not apply to criminal cases; — but on reference to it, this was found to be erroneous. The Attorney General contended, moreover, that the Ordinance was imperative and mandatory, and (except with regard to the one solitary fee payable on the brief at the trial) left no discretion to the Court.\n\nThis was not all the report, but merely such parts as went to show the action of the complainant. For the truth of this report, competent testimony would presently be produced.\n\nDr. Bridges then could not get the money. He has admitted, however, that he got a thousand dollars - some of Ahlum's money - he has boastfully told us. But with the chance of getting it back out of that very $1,225, there could have been little difficulty with Ahlum's friends in borrowing. Or could it have been that when he tried for that $1,225, Dr. Bridges had already obtained a thousand dollars, and he simply made an attempt to get more? It was not improbable! Dr. Bridges, when asked when Ahlum's Chinese friends paid him a thousand dollars - and whether it was before or after the motion for $1,225 - could give no answer just now. He did not know. It was all the act of that useful man to a Hongkong Official - \"my comprador.\" No, we shall never know; though had Ahlum attempted to go through the Insolvent Court, we might have obtained some satisfaction on the point.\n\nAnd now to two other circumstances - important circumstances! One was Ahlum's affidavit, from the gaol, that when he went in, he was perfectly solvent; the other, the admission of the Governor of the Gaol, regarding his desire to take the benefit of the Insolvent Act. Evidence would be produced showing that payment of just debts did not produce that Insolvency - and if just payments did not produce it — what then did produce it? Some or other must have had some whacking sums — some one or other must have come in for the \"plunder,\" as the Attorney General called it.\n\nNo - the law cannot be enforced... It was not necessary he should give Dr. Bridges a thousand dollars to defend him. Nothing of the kind. He was well and ably defended, and he was not justified in taking the money that belonged to others, and in giving it to Dr. Bridges to gratify a whim.\n\nIt had been said Ahlum had a right to give Dr. Bridges as much as he pleased; and no Court, Insolvent or other, could challenge the payment. But this was absurd. It would be a fine doctrine, indeed, if true, that when a man found himself in difficulty, he could go to a lawyer and say — \"here, take this sum of money, I will charge it in my books as paid to you for professional services.\" It could not be. An insolvent doing so, for acting fraudulently, would be returned to gaol — and this is just Ahlum's case. He paid more than the law justified, and had he taken the benefit of the Insolvent Act, he would have had to stand the consequences.\n\nBut up to the first examination in this case, no one knew what sum Dr. Bridges really had had. It was kept a profound secret. Letters have been seen in which it is stated that £500 were paid for the defence — who had this money? Well, with all these antecedents, these suspicious circumstances, was it not a duty on Dr. Bridges to make every point as clear as the day? Did he not keep the intention of releasing Ahlum a profound secret? Seeing the Crown Solicitor, the defendant's Solicitor, perhaps, leasing Ahlum a profound secret? What could be inferred from such mysterious conduct as this? — In a word, what were the appearances? — and that was the question for the Jury to decide.\n\nFinally, the defendant would beg the jurors to divest from their minds the impression that might have been created that in all he had written, he was actuated by selfish motive — that the loss of the thousand and ten dollars was the sole moving power. It was not so. Either of the gentlemen of the Jury might have been similarly situated. Ahlum might have owed either of them five thousand or ten thousand dollars. There appeared ample justification for the ideas propounded in the **Friend of China** of the 25th July, at all events. And was it not shocking to think that when a man happened to be arrested and thrown into gaol in this Colony — be the charge true or false...",

Let the owners of water pay 3 cash per load for the water man's wages.\n\nFire—Hongkong ought to put up a reward or prize for any who shall seize a water or miscreant in any Mandarine's employment; and when masters of these shall be convicted under evidence, let a reward of hundred dollars be given to the informer.\n\nAlso, should any shop or dwelling house for want of care allow fire to kindle, let the offender be taken up and receive a thrashing of one hundred blows, made to carry it for three months correction, for not being careful against fire and the sin of involving others. Thus by the establishment of such a rule, men would certainly be careful against the grievous accident with catching animosity.\n\nBarbarians—At present the Mandarines of China have laid an embargo on Hongkong—prohibiting intercourse. Vessels going and passing boats from the neighboring places around perhaps come, perhaps not; perhaps several unite in coming together, to guard against the sea pirates they thus unite. Now the Mandarines have put out a proclamation prohibiting the Chinese from coming to Hongkong, but permitting their return home. We hear it stated that the Mandarines have thus fixed the time to the 1st month of next year—February 1857—before which none are to go or come; if they do they are to be seized as transgressors, and dealt with accordingly. Now although the hoted time has not arrived, still all the vessels that arrive at Hongkong, whether from city or village, should be carefully examined by some trusty conductor of a government boat, as to their business, whence from, name and surname, their age and appearance, and where they intended going in Hongkong; of which write in a book by which there will be a means of examining into the matter. Also, let each vessel examined for soldiers, implements of war, or other suspicious instruments. Examine the oven on board, whether they have anything suspicious in their appearance, and search their persons to see if they have any daggers about them, or any traitorous letters or clues of wicked devices, instantly examining everything on board, after which allow them to go on shore. As the present is a time of war, if there are traitors among the people of Hongkong, many of them rebels taking refuge; besides the men without employment will be many, poor and it is difficult for these to accept to any other occupation. The thieves, though numerous, will be found willing to observe the Laws, and will certainly not be the disturbers of the peace.

        "content_text": "## SUPPLEMENT.\n\nbelonging to the Thistle at the time of the massacre, and a belonging to the shop on the 15th January by Mr Tarant and Mr Macilreath. They all three have known him in his two-fold capacities. Too \n\nsubjected the prisoners to such cruelty will be severely censured by the Government; but we may believe, Gentlemen, that it is without the knowledge of Mr Mercer or H.M. Government. I treat with disdain the insinuations thrown out against me by Dr Bridges, as I feel assured my character is too well established in my \n\nry at the time in question. The 4th has been proved by Mr Duddell and the boy. The 5th, a servant to the Consulate of this Colony. Further, the 7th and 8th prisoners by Mr Daddell and several of the Chinese witnesses. The 9th has been identified as Alum, the Master of the Bakery. The 19th has been recognised as having been suspected as an assistant at the retail shop.\n\nsome time reproaches have been cast upon the Government for not meeting the exigencies of the present crisis with adequate spirit; and the great question in every one's mouth, and has not yet died away, is not \"martial law proclaimed!\" And now that a little vigour is being shown, we are denounced for cruelty and injustice!\n\nIt is not hard to conceive why a different course should be taken, or that in the present disturbed state of the Colony, Asiatics should not be allowed the same privileges as Europeans. Is it not consistent with all that is passing around us to assert that the awful crime perpetrated was by the influence of the Mandarins? And who can hear of the atrocities that have been committed towards Her Majesty's subjects without shuddering, or after the rewards that have been offered for the head of any European without distinction as to his standing by the Chinese authorities at Canton, would not infer upon them as having been the signs of the late attempt to poison this entire Community? And yet, forsooth, the Counsel for the prisoners has told you, Gentlemen, that it is wrong to accuse the Mandarins of being the instigating source. It is a fact that might pass current up to Peking.\n\nThe darkest crime the Newgate Calendar contains bears no comparison to the case now before your notice, Gentlemen. What reward, I ask you, do you think the prisoner Alum would have received, and what could have induced him to have committed such a diabolical attempt? It has been argued that the prisoner's affairs were in a hopeless state of bankruptcy. What would have been his reward? Do you not think that had his crime been successful, he would not have been a high Mandarin at Canton, and that if the crimes that had been conceived to have been committed by him in his countrymen's eyes would have been wiped out, and the past forgiven for ever? Would any one have disapproved if a different course had been pursued towards the prisoners, and instead of allowing them a trial, which such wretches do not deserve, they had been dealt with in a summary manner, and had suffered the short and sharp pangs of death which they had intended we should suffer? Their crime deserved the fate of a traitor's count; but much, Gentlemen, as you may agree that they are before a jury as laid before you, I am bound to tell you, if any reasonable doubt of their guilt rests upon your minds, you are bound to acquit. \"But, Gentlemen, it will not be your duty to stretch the points set up for their defence to too great a length, and in the opinion I feel certain the Bench will concur.\n\nIt was Gentlemen, who advised the Government and Mr Mercer to conduct the investigation as they did. Had the case been sent to the Police Court, what would have been the consequences? Why, the various technicalities of the Law would have led to postponements from week to week, and such postponements would have been most deleterious to the ends of justice. The investigation, I affirm, required to be carried on with the utmost secrecy, or the Government would not have been able to obtain information sufficient to convict them. It is much to Mr Mercer's credit that he came forward and acted as an extra official in his capacity of J.P. at the investigation; and the Government have acted most judiciously in the course they have adopted. The investigation was held in a manner...and that is the reason why it was held. Every means has been adopted by the Government to find out any facts that might transpire, and to bring the diabolical attempt made against this Community home upon the heads of the perpetrators of it. And again, to commit the prisoners at the bar, and not encumber the Justices of the Peace whose hands were full of business.\n\nThe manner in which the case has been conducted is highly creditable to Messrs Mercer and May, for the pains they took to elicit the truth. They obtained evidence sufficient as they thought, and though, to commit the 10 prisoners...\n\n5. The reason the prisoners have been detained by Government being Government is because they are considered improper persons to be at large among the community by Ordinance No 2-1837. I hope either this explanation or no further reflection may be past over Mr Mercer's conduct. I also trust that the report published in our papers this morning may be found to be exaggerated, and that those who are guilty of the alleged cruelties will be brought to justice. At all events, I can assure you, Gentlemen, that I know nothing about it.\n\nI propose now to call your attention to the leading facts of the case as it has been placed before you, and you will not feel wearied, I hope, if I endeavour to point out to you how the various evidence given during the last three days is connected, and how that although the Counsel for the prisoners tried to rebut the evidence, he has rather gone to strengthen the evidence of the prisoners' guilt. I alluded to my opening address on the 1st day of the inquiry, in which I intimated that I would be bringing before your notice such a body of proof as it would be impossible to disprove; and we have done so. Though I must herealong express my thanks to Mr Comper Turner and Mr May for the valuable assistance they have rendered.\n\nHaving cleared the way so far, the learned Gentleman said that as they all were connected with the shop on that day, they must have all connived at the poisoning of the bread.\n\nAnother contract to supply H.M. Commissariat with 100,000 lbs. of bread, and another to supply the U.S. Stores with 108,000 lbs. of biscuit. To do all this, Alum had only $1220 in the chest, and 8,000 lbs. of bread on his premises. Mr Duddell's and Mr Foster's connection with Alum's business is curious. There is to be a partnership between them.\n\neven tells you that when Alum was arrested, he did not consider himself in debt to Alum to any large amount; and you see at the present time he owns himself considerably in his debt. He does not know how the accounts stand. They have been running on for years. There was never a balance struck between them. It was a running account. There is my story in a nutshell - a miscellaneous business.\n\nto me about this manner of carrying on business altogether! \n\nThe great evidence of Mr Pastan, their Cheque de Bataille, who does it all amount to? Moonshine - for you heard yourself how the man quaverated over it, and that what evidence he did give was forced from him by me. I extorted from him by my cross-examination that Alum did not pay him voluntarily, and, Gentlemen, may he not be allowed to draw inferences from facts? So much then for the temptation to commit the crime - it was irresistible. What inducement might Alum afford to sacrifice his brilliant position here when before him stood the bonus of $9000 and the button of a Mandarin of the third class? Wait - (the learned gentleman was here checked by Dr Bridges, who protested most emphatically upon any draft on the imagination - there was not one word in evidence of any reward having been offered - not a word of a Mandarin's button). The Attorney General continued - True - nothing had been given in evidence regarding the reward beyond the rumour alluded to by Mr Dawson - but the jury and the Court could draw inferences when they were evident from the evidence, and inferred from the mass of incoherent perjuries that had been given in the defence.\n\nthe proportion to have been a drachm of arsenic to a pound of bread. If so, there must have been 10 lbs. of arsenic put in the quantity of bread that was baked, and it would be impossible for any one to have mixed that quantity unknown to the overseers, and without the knowledge of those in charge and employed in the shop. At the same time, he asked, had their conduct been such as to leave any doubt regarding their guilt? Dr Harland has informed you that he analyzed the bread and found one drachm of arsenic, but 6 grains in every pound loaf; and by this fact, as elicited, strong presumption that if Alum did not put the arsenic actually in the flour himself, he must have known of its having been put in. I have traced the bread to Deimspier, and I proved that he was poisoned by it. Now, Gentlemen, you must agree with me, I think, that a prima facie case has been established by the Crown. You have, Gentlemen, proof before you of Alum's having been at the bakery on the 14th between the hours of 4 and 6 a.m., at the time the dough was mixed. You have the fact that when the bread left the shop for delivery on January 16th, Alum and his family were attending in the shop. If you believe the evidence you have heard, can you suppose they knew nothing about the poisoning? Another remarkable feature is that poison was found in both white and brown bread delivered. The poison could not have been mixed in the yeast or in the flour, for the most careful tasters would have detected it. Then it must have been mixed up with the dough. Mr Drinker tells you that he left Alum in the dark room at the very time that the men were employed mixing the dough there, and one of the prisoners' witnesses confirms these facts by admitting that the dough was mixed that day at 4 p.m., the very hour of the prisoner's visit. Another stronger proof of Alum's knowledge of the poisoning is that after being told of Aheep's unwillingness to give evidence at the Coroner's inquest on the body found on the Thistle, (Alum) did not dismiss him from his service, but took him into his more intimate confidence, and placed him in a higher post of trust.\n\nMr Tarraut tells you how he warned his servant, as he saw Aheep on that day cavorting in such a situation of trust, though too late, not to take any raw bread from Eating-op, as he had his suspicion that Aheep was concerned in and had conspired at the Thistle massacre. You have thus brought home to Alum, then, the fact of his having been present at the mixing of the dough used in making the bread, at the very moment when the 10 lbs. of arsenic were being mixed up with it; you have this further fact that the dough of which the confectionary was made that day, probably the very dough of which Alum's children's bread were made, was not poisoned. Dr Harland discovered that fact, and I think this body of evidence irresistible.\n\nAlum made his grand stand to prove his innocence, upon his intention to remain - the condition of his affairs, the contracts he had entered into, and the amount of property he held in Hongkong. But the Attorney General knew that he hazarded little when he told the Jury on the last day that he would refute the evidence for the whole of the prisoners - but he would call the attention of the Jury more particularly to the chief prisoner, Alum, and leave the residue to their consideration hereafter. In Alum's statement, he says he had no intention of leaving Hongkong. Now Mr Dixson said Alum had said he thought he should have to go to Singapore. Mr Da Silver, too, told me that Alum told him he thought he meant to leave Hongkong. At Mauzow, the head pirate concerned in the old last robbery was fortunately captured on his way to Singapore, and there is very little doubt that the prisoner Alum was on his way to that Ultima Thule. He told Mr Stephanson he was not going; to Mr Edwards, he said the same. This, Gentlemen, I am about to tell you is an extraordinary fact - that upon Mr Edwards appearing suspicious at Alum's conduct, he at once concluded a contract for flour and bought it at an exorbitant price, paying Mr Edwards for the higher price, he being reminded.\n\nAlso, he knew the punishment that awaited him if he remained home to settle down, and that if he did not take the signal proof to show the Mandarins he was no friend of the Barbarians.\n\nTo remain in Hongkong, we have heard repeatedly. The mat maker received the order from Mr Stephenson 18 days before he returned it again dishonoured, and if Alum's circumstances were in such a flourishing state, why did he not pay the $250, the amount of that order? I wish to know how he could go and engage to supply the Commissariat with 100,000 lbs. of bread and the United States with 108,000 lbs. of biscuit on the very day he had not enough money in his possession to buy the first bill, unless it was in case the poisoning failed and he was taken, and to help Alum in his defence.\n\nThe papers, or title deeds, as Dr Bridges has called them, which were found in the chest are not in his name. They belong to the Cheong tribe, of which he is a member, (but not to him in all trust). It is probable that the $1200 which were found there too did not belong to him, but to a relation, and therefore he dared not touch it. But these papers prove nothing. It is in evidence that the last receipt for rent is sufficient proof of title to land in China - and where is the last receipt for rent? He knew that his family were not safe from punishment while he was in Hongkong; he knew that there were 63 Mandarins in Hongkong; he knew that while he was in Hongkong, he was in the midst of a set of robbers; and, Gentlemen, as I have stated before, without committing some heavy crime against the Barbarians as a proof of his allegiance to the Mandarins, home he dared not go! So much then for the motives recognised as great efforts of virtuous reparation.\n\nNow let us look to his conduct after the crime was done. Was it the conduct of an innocent and unconscious man? He departed in haste for Macao. On his way, he was bailed from a boat by a man he knew well on that morning of the 15th January; he turned his hand away, so that he should not be seen 50 feet from him. But he took the bread on board. That person you heard was not more with him, forsooth a Chinaman does not eat bread, you know! Why, then, did he take nothing but bread on board the steamer for his family - and why on that day did he evince such a partiality for bread? Mr Mackenzie has told you that during the 13 days that Alum has been in his custody, he has never eaten or asked for bread. He says that when his family were taken sick, he sent one of his servant boys to tell the Captain of it, which the Captain has denied, and if his statement is true, why has the refutation not been produced in Court? Gentlemen, you see plainly he sent no message; he could have spoken if he had wished to the gaoler through the bars, or to some of the officers; you naturally suppose from the evidence of the child's sickness being so much for his defence that they were only slightly sick, as the nurse has told you that she and they were quite well after...\n\npayment should not be made until the month of landing in Hongkong. Of the Chinese, Gentlemen, the prisoner Alum knew when he made that contract that before that day became due, he would either be a dead man or a high Mandarin in Canton.\n\nhave been brought before your notice - none have suffered the same effect as Europeans. They have had good...of the pains - none of the symptoms of arsenic with which the Europeans have been afflicted, and, as you have heard, not recovered from the effect of it. The Chinese constitution can allow them a day or two, as he was \"hard up\", might be so very different from that of ourselves, as these circumstances are very remarkable. You, Gentlemen of the Jury, are bound to believe that he told the truth about his intention of leaving this Colony. Do you doubt for one minute that a Chinaman could blind the Chinese? Are not the Chinese spies everywhere - is it not a well-known fact that we cannot keep a secret from them? What should keep him is such I dread at the particular time Mr Edwards called - were not his sons...\n\nhave been old that they would state, Is it not remarkable that Alum's statement satiates the inquiry and blunts \"the European with the low burning of the Chinese!\" But that statement has been proved to be false. You have heard that...\n\nhe owes. Mr Edwards a larger sum of money - to Mr Foster, he owes $900, to Mr Pastan $15,000. To Mr Edwards and Mr Stephenson, he is also indebted to large amounts. He boasts that he had one contract in hand, 27,000 lbs. to 8,000 lbs. of biscuit to Messrs Tao, Bang & Co.\n\nespecially Mr Cooper Turner, who wants constantly going up and down stairs? You heard his services without either fee or reward, and I have great satisfaction in saying that to Mr Forney, he did have taken more pains or spent more time than he has done in making some of the information which passes.\n\nThere is plenty of unprincipled prisoners, and the fact that the bread came from the Eung shop on the 15th Jan. and the connection of the shop and the bakery, have been fully proved. The 1st prisoner has been identified by Mr Wray, and Mr Lopraik, as being in and belonging to the shop on the morning of the 16th January. The 2nd has been proved by Mr Dixson...\n\nto be able to take poison and quickly be a little sick afterwards. Again, Gentlemen, who ever heard of a Chinese waiting till 11 a.m. before he had his breakfast, and at that very breakfast to betray such a marvellous passion for bread? You may suppose from this that it was either a falsehood that the people were sick, and it must be that it was maly sea-sickness.\n\nMr Robinet has told you that when he arrested Alum, he, Alum, said, \"Any man have dishonoured Hong Kong, must...\".\n\nThe whole of Alum's statement, Gentlemen, although well got up, you can now see is a tissue of perjury. The indictment is similar in one point of view to that of Whalley at the York Assizes of 1817; namely, that the abject attempt made has been signally exposed by the medical testimony. There, the radical evidence exculpated the falsehood of the charge - here, it establishes its truth. Yet this case is far stronger than that. There, the only thing that saved Whalley was the manner in which the prosecutrix described the symptoms of her pretended suffering. Doctors Thackrah and Walker declared they could not have been the effect of arsenic. The arsenic was found in the testes, and in the several tampons which the prosecutrix had contrived to produce...\n\nthat the...\n\nShe had mixed the arsenic with poisonous substances besides, and upon being cross-examined, she has confessed she had done so to convict Whalley of the pretended rape. Here, in the present case, the Chinese that profess to have suffered have not said it as plain to every man that Alum's statement is a perjury throughout. Gentlemen, I do not take an interest in their conviction, or that I can treat such men as these impartially. Notwithstanding the taunts and unmanly interruptions to which I have been subjected...\n\nThe learned Gentleman had just before been interrupted by Dr Bridges with an emphatic expression at some passage - it was not; and as the Doctor's words were in the teeth of the Judge's notes, Mr Anstey remarked that though Dr Bridges had fact for his authority, it was unmannerly so to express himself - and that as he had not fact for his authority, it was detecting an epithet he would not bestow on it.\n\nI have, I am sure, in indicating the difference between a real and a pretended case of poisoning - the guilt of the prisoners, Gentlemen, is established by their own defence; and I feel certain if they are acquitted, the Chinese will look upon the British Authorities with contempt. You have seen one man, Aheep, who was present at the Thistle massacre, escaping the ends of justice by the technicalities of the British law; and soon after, you find him uding in attempting to perform another tragedy only on a larger scale. Gentlemen, a clearer case of guilt could never be arrived at by circumstantial evidence; and I fear assured you will find it your duty to convict.\n\nBut I will not attempt to conceal that I have an anxious presentiment as to the probable result. I will not allude to the several unmanageable circumstances that have attended the defence; but I fear that I have not said sufficient to clear away the glamour thrown over your eyes by the opposing Counsel. I repeat, I am doubtful as to the result; and if it should be that you return a verdict of acquittal, I can but tell you that I feel such a verdict will be a great - an unappreciable calamity in this small community. We have first the commission of a great crime, and for that crime, no punishment. Such a verdict would set a precedent in this Colony. Let it once be seen that the law is power...\n\nlet it be established in the Chinese mind that this Court has not the power to check deeds like those unless they are convicted, and carried into execution in the trust or the most public place - then, no longer is the life of a European safe in the Colony; and it will not require the skill of the prophet to number the days of those now present. And there will be another calamity, or rather, (for it exists in some sort already) - it will be made strong and enduring again! The impression is that our administration of justice is corrupt, that our criminal jurisprudence designs not the chastisement of the great men of Tai-ping-shan, and deals only with low and petty offenders; that the laws of England have no terror in their threats for men wealthy and wise enough to submit to the exactions of their prosecutors, and that a judicious prodigality in the matter of fees and costs will always purchase immunity. If the opinion is unfounded, be it your part, Gentlemen, to disabuse them of their error.\n\nThe Attorney General here resumed his seat, and it must have given him great satisfaction to hear by the stamping of feet that the public felt thankful to him for the pains he had taken to bring the guilt home to Alum and his fellow prisoners.\n\nThe Court adjourned for 18 minutes, and on resuming, his Lordship, the Judge, addressed the Jury to the fact that it would be their duty to expunge from their minds anything they might have read or heard outside the Court. Alum had been shown to have been at the bakery the afternoon of January 14th, while the dough was being mixed, and if the Jury thought that he had mixed the poison, or ordered it to be mixed, or had any knowledge about it, they must adjudge him guilty. His Lordship then read over the whole of the evidence and Alum's statement (which will be found below), after which he said, if they were of opinion that it was false about his family being sick, it would be prima facie proof of his guilt; as if, on the contrary, they thought they had been poisoned, there would be a prima facie reason for believing him innocent. This, however, was for them to judge. His Lordship then said that as the Attorney General had explained every part of the evidence so clearly to them, it would be useless for him to go over it again. The Jury retired then for 30 minutes, and on their return into Court, returned a verdict of Not guilty by a vote of 9 to 4, which was received with hisses.\n\nThe Judge looked at the Attorney General, and the Attorney looked at the Judge, but as the prisoners were acquitted, they must be discharged. Before they left the hall, however, they were again arrested, and taken to gaol as suspicious persons.\n\n## ALUM'S STATEMENT.\n\nCheong Alum, his statement - being duly cautioned, saith - With regard to the poisoning of the bread, he is entirely ignorant - but the bread is made in one part of the oven, and he lives in another.\n\nTo Mr Dawson, he said - he never had any idea of doing such a thing, but just declared the contrary. To him, he had pretended that it was only a pigeon, and that a little medicine would make all proper. But what is incoherent and bewildering. To the same Mr Dawson, he also confessed that the reason why the offer of the 60 dollars was made to Cheung, had been because...\n\nthat he having eaten of that morning for Macao, was considered on board, as an argument of his guilt.\n\nHe came to the Colony at only 18 years of age - he was first employed by Mr Bigelow, whereby afterwards went to California; after that by Mr Franklyn; then by Morrison, Stephenson & Co.; then by Mr Da Silver, for whom he made biscuits, as well as did other business. He some time afterwards purchased a machine for making biscuit, and then another from Mr Daddell, for $1,800; and as these were insufficient, he purchased sugar...\n\nSee back, page No. 17.\n\nIndigen.\n\nLogsp.\n\n10030 Trong không \n\nGovernment Offices, Hong Kong \nof the Tophers in 1875 \n\nThe Chief Magistrate having applied for certain Law Books as will be seen from the enclosed: his letter to the Colonial Secretary, I have the honor to request that...\n\nThe Right Honorable \nHenry Labouchere, M.P. \n...",

But this of Yeh's falls to the ground through his own letter of the 14th of October 1856, which most strongly confirms the evidences given by Ching-a-sing, one of the Arrow's Crew. He says in that letter that he directed the naval officers who seized the twelve men to be examined and they stated that when they went to the Lorcha to seize the men, they saw on board that at that time no foreign flag had yet been hoisted on board the Lorcha, that they heard that the flag was below, but they themselves saw nothing of it. Therefore, they seized the men and brought them away.\n\nIt will be observed that he always says she was built but not once asserts that she was owned by the said Woo-a-ching. But Commissioner Yeh himself shows that he obtained the knowledge of the vessel being built by the Chinese Soo a ching after the seizure of the crew through his witness Woo-a-. Therefore, before the boarding of her, he had no ground whatsoever for even supposing the vessel had been built by the said Chinese, much less reason had he to believe for a moment she was a vessel, that is, not a Lorcha, which are only sailed under British and Portuguese.\n\nAs to the flag flying at the time of boarding, we have the affidavit of the Master of the Arrow, and him of the \"Dart\", and a Chinese Chin a Sing, \"one of the Arrow's crew\". The latter indeed deposes: \"I heard the Mandarin who wore the Crystal Button say out, 'This is no foreign Lorcha, for there is no foreigner in command, haul down her ensign!' Several of us assured the Mandarin that we have an European Captain.\"\n\nThis evidence is interesting in more than one point, viz., it shows that the Mandarin was acquainted with the requirements of the Ordinance, which requires Lorchas must be commanded by a foreigner, and he availed himself of the Captain's absence to have the flag hauled down.\n\nThen we have further evidence that the flag was flying when boarded. Mandarin and Yeh assist in that very evidence; he says: \"It has been the invariable rule with Lorchas of your Excellency's nation to have done their ensign when they drop anchor, and to hoist it again when they got under weigh. It is a general rule that Lorchas and other vessels do not hoist their ensigns after the day of arrival until the day before their departure.\"\n\nBy the rules of the port, a vessel is required to give notice of her intended departure by hoisting the Blue Peter twenty-four hours before their departure, and Lorchas and Ships almost invariably hoist on the day of departure the Ensign - Lorchas especially to attract the attention of parties - passengers.\n\nIt may be said that no vessel leaves port without its ensign being flying, and the Lorcha Arrow was to have sailed on that very day. \"The flag\" was to be hoisted at 8 o'clock, and the Mandarin boarded the \"Arrow\" between 8 and 9 o'clock, as it appears from the deposition.\n\nAs to the flag being flying at the time the vessel was boarded, there can be no doubt. It seems strange that so much doubt on this subject should have been expressed. I think from the foregoing narrative taken from the Blue Books published, it will be evident:\n\n1. That the Lorcha Arrow was legally flying the British flag, and that although the Register expires on the 27th September, she was by clause 10 still entitled to use the flag under the old Register, which was deposited with the Consul on the 8th of October, the day of the occurrence.\n2. That the Chinese authorities must be and were aware that she was a British vessel.\n3. That such was evident to the Boarding Mandarin.\n4. That the flag was actually flying when boarded and hauled down by order of the Mandarin.\n5. That no charge of smuggling or other illegal acts was brought against the Lorcha by the Chinese Government or others.",

        "content_text": "## (89) \n496 \n\nthe Police Court, if Mr May had not been there. Pré was certainly not equal to such a case. \n\n## Mr Grand \nI recollect, although I had quite forgotten it until shortly before this Commission commenced sitting, that Mr May lent me his \"memoranda\" for two or three days. As I found they had nothing immediately to do with the cases under investigation, which were already cumbered enough, I told Mr May that I thought he had better say nothing about them until some occasion should arise on which they would be clearly useful. I recollect also, when the efforts for obtaining a pardon for Ma-chow Wong were going on, that Mr May again asked me if he should mention them to the Government. As by that time I had learnt that Mr May was supposed to be actuated by jealous and hostile feelings towards Mr Caldwell, and as also the Government were in possession of the originals from which the memoranda were taken, I told Mr May that I should certainly not volunteer their production to the Government. I must confess, however, that my recollection of the memoranda is very imperfect indeed, and that they never made the strong impression upon me which they ought to have done. \n\n## JOHN SCARTH, Esq., a Member of the Commission \nCalled at his own request. \nI wish to make the following statement, as my name has been mentioned several times in the evidence and before the Commission. \n\nWhen the disturbances began in Canton at the end of 1856, a man came to me and told me that some pirate boats were said to have been taken outside by some of the ships of war, but that the boats were not pirate but rebel boats. He stated that he felt sure that Ma-chow Wong was using his influence against the men, and requested me to endeavour to have some inquiry made, as he heard the men were going to be given over to the Mandarins. My informant was one of the Shanghae rebels. I went to the Police Office and saw Mr Grand-Pré and Mr May. The bulk of the statement was heard by Mr Grand-Pré; Mr May came in just as I concluded. I told him that I had been told that Ma-chow Wong, who was formerly in close connection with the so-called rebels who held Shanghae, had turned against them, having been bribed by the Mandarins with a blue button and white buntos which they would find in the house of one of his wives. I did not notice any particular effect produced by Mr Caldwell's presence on the bench at the commencement of Ma-chow Wong's case. I did mention to the Acting Colonial Secretary, that I thought Mr Caldwell had better not sit on the bench during the enquiry against Ma-chow Wong, as he was likely to injure the rebels as much as he could. I said: but I did not speak at all strongly; and the Acting Colonial Secretary immediately said, “Oh, I have arranged about that; only, if anything very strong is said about him in Court, I hope you will send for him.\" Mr Stace brought up Ma-chow Wong's bail after his commitment. Lai Sze-kai was not one on that occasion. I really am afraid to say anything about my recollection of the contents of the memoranda; I recollect that their general nature has been correctly described. \n\nI was afterwards informed that several sailors had been kidnapped in a systematic manner, by engaging them in Lorchas and then handing them over to the Chinese Authorities for the rewards for heads. I went immediately and reported the circumstance to Mr Caldwell, requesting him to make it public, so as to prevent a repetition of such occurrences. I never heard anything more about it, until Mr Wade's translation of the papers found at Namtow proved that men had been taken. \n\nI rather think that there is a notice in Chinese characters outside the Magistracy that bribery is not allowed. \n\nI recollect in the debate on the Registration Ordinance, in Council, that the Governor said an order had been given to do something—I did not hear what—in reference to not proceeding with the second indictment; and I heard the Attorney General say, \"Nobody in the world has power to give such an order;\" but I cannot say whether the words \"Nolle prosequi\" were used. \n\nMy impression from what was said in Council on the 10th and 14th of May certainly was, that His Excellency and the Acting Colonial Secretary were convinced that Mr Caldwell had cleared himself from the charges then brought against him, and that there was no need of further inquiry. \n\nMy strong impression is, that I did hear the Acting Colonial Secretary say in debate, that he saw no harm in Caldwell's servants being interested in brothels, and, on being reminded that it might lead to improper persons being licensed to keep brothels, I certainly think I did hear him say... \n\n[The Chairman intimated that no further evidence being tendered in support of the charges, the Commission would proceed at the next meeting to hear Mr Caldwell's defence.]\n\n## TWENTY THIRD DAY \nWednesday, 14th July, 1858, at 12 o'clock Noon. \n| Present | \n| --- | \n| All the Members | \n\nMr Caldwell being called on for his defence, made the following statement: \n\nThe only difficulty which presents itself to me in replying to the accusations brought against me by the Honourable the Attorney General and the Superintendent of Police is that, arising from the great volume of the depositions. It is that a person, inexperienced as I am in dissecting evidence, may, in going over the evidence of more than 40 witnesses, covering about 100 printed pages, omit some point apparently telling against himself, but capable of easy explanation. Should such prove to be the case, the Commission will, I trust, direct my attention to any charge not dealt with by me, for it is my desire to flinch from no portion of this extraordinary investigation. \n\nCharge No. 4 rests entirely upon the recollection by Mr Inglis of an isolated fact, which is supposed to have taken place about 14 years ago. The evidence adduced by me as to the date of the birth of my first child, and the situation of certain localities, will, I am certain, when added to the positive testimony of Mrs Caldwell and myself, convince the Commission that Mr Inglis has undesignedly made a mistake.\n\nCharge No. 5: It will hardly be necessary for me to detail at length the evidence which must have convinced the Commission, that although nominally I appeared in the Crown Books the owner of certain property in this Colony, yet that such was not in reality the case, and that my original statement on the subject, so much attacked by Mr Anstey, was the simple truth. \n\nCharge No. 14 has not, I believe, been attempted to be proved. \n\nBefore proceeding to the evidence, I must notice who and what the witnesses are who have been called in support of the charges. There is hardly one of any importance who can be considered independent or unbiassed. But there are Mr Anstey and Mr May, both on their trial equally with myself; Roberts and Lyons, who have, within the last three weeks, received great promotion in the Police Force on Mr May's recommendation; Assow, the Interpreter; then, Mr May's Lokong, and Yoong Ayoong, Mr May's own servant. \n\nOn these seven does the case for the prosecution mainly rest; and wherever an attempt has been made to travel beyond them, it has resulted in a contradiction or a break-down. \n\nCharge No. 15: Mr May comes forward in support of this charge, and states the fact to have been within his own knowledge; he is to a certain degree supported by Mr Woods, but the evidence of the latter is neutralised by his statement that all Tai-ping-shan houses were at the time brothels, which certainly was not the case, and Mr Woods assigns another reason for his belief. Mr May's testimony has been so unsatisfactory throughout this inquiry, that no reliance can, I trust, be placed upon him when unsupported; and I beg most solemnly to deny, that I have ever at any time been the owner of any brothels in this colony; and if the Commission require it, I am prepared to prove the untruth of Mr May's statement, in the most satisfactory manner. \n\nCharge No. 16: If Assow the Interpreter could be believed, this charge might be considered as made out. But the attempt to produce such a witness as Assow, and the gross untruths he has been convicted of, when produced, will, I hope, be considered by the Commission an important feature in the whole case. The groundless assertion that Shaplok is Mrs Caldwell's sister by adoption, rests on Assow's statement, and is denied by my wife and myself; but when Assow attempts to prove that Shaplok, within a certain time, kept a brothel in a certain street, which he personally visited, he is convicted of falsehood by Eep Awong, Foong Afie, Soong Ahing, and Wong Aping—and Mr Mitchell fixes an additional stigma on him. Mr May has evidently relied much on this witness, and it would have been worth his while to have ascertained his real character from Mr Mitchell before he was included among the seven witnesses. \n\nCharge No 17: No attempt has ever been made, I believe, to fully prove any receipt of rack-rents by me. I have fully explained to the Commission the circumstances under which Mrs Caldwell looks after her sister's property. But the mixing up of brothel-holding with this question of property is a malicious charge, for which there was never at any time any pretext.\n\nI will now proceed to go through the Charges, dividing them into three classes. \nEmbracing charges 2, 4, 5, 14, 15, 16, 17. \n-8, 8, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13. 46–1, 28, 19. \n\nMr May having, through his servant, made inquiries of the tenant of a rice shop as to its owner, says that I was the owner of the adjoining house, not a syllable having in reality passed between the parties as to such brothel. I must also remark, that Lum Aleen was attempted to be brought forward...",

        "content_text": "Car\n\n370\n\nthe Police Court, if Mr May had not been there. Grand-Pré was certainly not equal to such a case.\n\n(88)\n\nMr\n\nI recollect, although I had quite forgotten it until shortly before this Commission commenced sitting, that Mr May lent me his memoranda for two or three days. As I found they had nothing immediately to do with the cases under investigation, which were already cumbered enough, I told Mr May that I thought he had better say nothing about them until some occasion should arise on which they would be clearly useful. I recollect also, when the efforts for obtaining a pardon for Ma-chow Wong were going on, that Mr May again asked me if he should mention them to the Government. As by that time I had learnt that Mr May was supposed to be actuated by jealous and hostile feelings towards Mr Caldwell, and as also the Government were in possession of the originals from which the memoranda were taken, I told Mr May, that I should certainly not volunteer their production to the Government. I must confess, however, that my recollection of the memoranda is very imperfect indeed, and that they never made the strong impression upon me which they ought to have done.\n\nJOHN SCARTH, Esq., a member of the Commission, -Called at his own request.\n\nI wish to make the following statement, as my name has been mentioned several times in the evidence and papers before the Commission.\n\nWhen the disturbances began in Canton at the end of 1856, a man came to me and told me that some pirate boats were said to have been taken outside by some of the ships of war, but that the boats were not pirate but rebel boats. He stated that he felt sure that Ma-chow Wong was using his influence against the men, and requested me to endeavour to have some inquiry made, as he heard the men were going to be given over to the Mandarins. My informant was one of the Shanghae rebels. I went to the Police Office and saw Mr Grand-Pré and Mr May. The bulk of the statement was heard by Mr Grand-Pré; Mr May came in just as I concluded. I told him that I had been told that Ma-chow Wong, who was formerly in close connection with the so-called rebels who held Shanghae, had turned against them, having been bribed by the Mandarins with a blue button which they would find in the house, and a white button which they would find in the house of one of his wives. I stated that he had given the information about these boats being taken, and that he was now trying to injure the rebels as much as he could. I said that the man who informed me could bring evidence to show that the men were rebels. Mr Grand-Pré told me Ma-chow Wong was Mr Caldwell's informer, and that he would see about it. I told him that he had better tell Mr Caldwell. I heard nothing more of the matter until I saw the men given up at Kowloong. I was afterwards informed that several sailors had been kidnapped in a systematic manner, by engaging them in Lorchas and then handing them over to the Chinese Authorities for the rewards for heads. I went immediately and reported the circumstance to Mr Caldwell\n\nI did not notice any particular effect produced by Mr Caldwell's presence on the bench at the commencement of Ma-chow Wong's case. I did mention to the Acting Colonial Secretary, that I thought Mr Caldwell had better not sit on the bench during the inquiry against Ma-chow Wong, but I did not speak at all strongly; and the Acting Colonial Secretary immediately said, \"Oh, I have arranged about that; only, if anything very strong is said about him in Court, I hope you will send for him.\" Mr Stace brought up Ma-chow Wong's bail after his commitment, Lai Sze-kai was not one on that occasion. I really am afraid to say anything about my recollection of the contents of the memoranda; I recollect that their general nature has been correctly described.\n\nI rather think that there is a notice in Chinese characters outside the Magistracy that bribery is not allowed.\n\nI recollect in the debate on the Registration Ordinance, in council, that the Governor said an order had been given to do something-I did not hear what-in reference to not proceeding with the second indictment; and I heard the Attorney General say, \"Nobody in the world has power to give such an order;\" but I cannot say whether the words \"Nolle prosequi\" were used.\n\nabout it, until Mr Wade's translation of the papers found at Namtow proved that men had been taken,\n\nMy impression from what was said in Council on the 10th and 14th of May certainly was, that His Excellency and the Acting Colonial Secretary were convinced that Mr Caldwell had cleared himself from the charges then brought against him, and that there was no need of further inquiry.\n\nMy strong impression is, that I did hear the Acting Colonial Secretary say in debate, that he saw no harm in Mr Caldwell's servants being interested in brothels, and, on being reminded that it might lead to improper persons being licensed to keep brothels, I certainly think I did hear him say, that as any person wishing to become a brothel-keeper must be an improper person, that would be of no consequence.\n\ntendered in support of the charges, the commission would [The Chairman intimated that no further evidence being proceed at the next meeting to hear Mr Caldwell's defence.]\n\nTWENTY THIRD DAY.\n\nWednesday, 14th July, 1858, at 12 o'clock Noon.\n\nPresent,-All the Members.\n\nfollowing statement:-\n\nMr Caldwell being called on for his defence, made the\n\ning to the accusations brought against me by the Honour-\n\nThe only difficulty which presents itself to me in reply-\n\nable the Attorney General and the Superintendent of Police, arises from the great volume of the depositions. It\n\nmay well happen that a person, inexperienced as I am in\n\n(89)\n\ndissecting evidence, may, in going over the evidence of\n\nof what he had said being so much more favorable to the\n\nprosecution than his own personal evidence.\n\nmore than 50 witnesses, covering about 100 printed pages, omit some point apparently telling against himself, but capable of easy explanation. Should such prove to be the case, the Commission will I trust direct my attention to any charge not dealt with by me, for it is my desire to flinch from no portion of this extraordinary investigation.\n\nBut\n\nCharge No. 4 rests entirely upon the recollection by Mr Inglis of an isolated fact, which is supposed to have taken place about 14 years ago. The evidence adduced by me as to the date of the birth of my first child, and the situation of certain localities, will, I am certain, when added to the positive testimony of Mrs Caldwell and myself, convince the Commission that Mr Inglis has undesignedly mistaken one person for another.\n\nBefore proceeding to the evidence, I must notice who and what the witnesses are who have been called in support of the charges. There is hardly one of any importance who can be considered independent or unbiassed.\n\nCharge No. 5: It will hardly be necessary for me to detail at length the evidence which must have convinced the Commission, that although nominally I appeared in the equally with myself; Roberts and Lyons, who have, within the last three weeks, received great promotion in the Police Crown Books the owner of certain property in this Colony; force at Mr May's recommendation; Assow, the Interpreter; Aheen, Mr May's Lokong, and Yoong Ayoong Mr May's own servant. On these seven does the case for the prosecution mainly rest; and wherever an attempt has been made to travel beyond them, it has resulted in a contradiction or a break-down.\n\nCharge No. 14 has not I believe been attempted to be proved.\n\nCharge No. 15: Mr May comes forward in support of this charge, and states the fact to have been within his own knowledge; he is to a certain degree supported by Mr Woods, but the evidence of the latter is neutralised by his statement that all Tai-ping-shan houses were at the time brothels, which certainly was not the case, and Mr Woods assigns no other reason for his belief. Mr May's testimony has been so unsatisfactory throughout this inquiry, that no reliance can, I trust, be placed upon him when unsupported; and I beg most solemnly to deny, that I have ever at any time been the owner of any brothels in this colony; and if the Commission require it, I am prepared to prove the untruth of Mr May's statement, in the most satisfactory manner.\n\nEven where, as with Pang-wa-ping, there is no ostensible connection between the Police and the witness, Roberts, or some one else, would appear to have been distorting his statements; and when I find Mr Anstey resting for his facts entirely upon Mr May, Mr May acknowledging to having given Roberts and Lyons advice and directions as to the mode in which the case was to be got up, Lyons attempting to put words into Boggs's mouth, and perverting conversations held with myself and others, Roberts laying a deliberate trap for the officers of the Eaglet, and Roberts and Lyons so speedily earning the reward of their energy and activity, I do not, without warrant, charge all these seven with a combined attempt to support the loose statements of Mr Anstey, by getting up evidence to fit them.\n\nCharge No. 16: If Assow the Interpreter could be believed, this charge might be considered as made out. But the mere attempt to produce such a witness as Assow, and the gross untruths he has been convicted of, when produced, will I hope be considered by the Commission an important feature in the whole case. The groundless assertion that Shaplok is Mrs Caldwell's sister by adoption, rests on Assow's statement, and is denied by my wife and myself; but when Assow attempts to prove that Shaplok, within a certain time, kept a brothel in a certain street, which he personally visited, he is convicted of falsehood by Eep Awong, and others, and I am supported by the evidence of Mr Mitchell.\n\nCharge No. 2 affords the most remarkable instance upon throughout this investigation, of the flimsy materials which Mr Anstey has based the most serious charge against me.\n\nIt appears from the evidence of Mr May, Yoong Ayoong, and Lum Aleen, the two first of whom contradict each other, that Mr May having, through his servant made some inquiry of the tenant of a rice shop as to its owner, informed Mr Anstey that I was the owner of the adjoining brothel No. 48, not a syllable having in reality passed between the several parties as to such brothel.\n\nFoong Afie, Soong Ahing, and Wong Aping-and Mr Mitchell fixes an additional stigma on him. Mr May has evidently relied much on this witness, and it would have been worth his while to have ascertained his real character from Mr Mitchell before he was included among the seven witnesses.\n\nCharge No. 17: No attempt has ever been made. I believe, I have fully explained to the Commission the circumstances under which Mrs Caldwell looks after her sister's property. But the mixing up of brothel-holding with this question of property, is a malicious charge, for which there was never at any time any pretext.\n\nI must also remark on the singular fact, that Lum Aleen was attempted to be made out to have left the Colony, the statement",

There are several ranges, one inland of the other. The inner one the highest.\n\nThe wall, which close to the sea embraces a fort, runs back about in a N.W. direction, and surrounds Ning-hae, after which it runs much in the same direction, and straight up the chain of hills. It is seen again on the top of a hill a little to the N.E., and then disappears over the top.\n\nThe plain is dotted over with clumps of trees and small villages, and is beautifully luxuriant.\n\nwere.\n\nQuantities of Indian corn were growing.

Surveyed down to the S.W.; landed on a point of land 100 feet high, composed of rock and sand.\n\nThere was a joss-house on it. It is connected with the mainland by a narrow sandy isthmus on the W., and only separated from the mainland on the N. by a creek or river, which at this point is about 50 yards wide, and has about 8 feet water at high tide. There would be perhaps 2 feet at low tide. This river is inconsiderable, as the greater part of the rain that falls appears to be absorbed in the loose sandy soil.\n\nNear the sea, there are springs of water trickling through in many places.\n\nSaw a number of cattle, horses, mules, &c. Country still the same.\n\n31st. The \"Forester\" having lost in time yesterday, had to do easy work to-day (Sunday). Stood across the bay in \"Forester\"; fixed her position, and sailed round the point in the cutter; landed and sketched. We were met on the beach by a blue-buttoned Mandarin, with 5 or 6 mounted Tartars. They asked what we wanted, but did not in any way interfere with us. Sounded across the bay in two directions, and returned to \"Cruiser.\"\n\nThis bay has shallow beach and rocky headlands, and is altogether almost impracticable for landing.\n\nAugust 1st. Having weighed in \"Cruiser,\" and stood down to the point we were at yesterday, and fixed her position.\n\nWe placed out the \"Forester\" and \"Starling,\" and then went on shore and sketched the bay, and walked through the village of \"Lew-Sia-Kwang,\" which is rather a poor one. We found the people very civil and communicative. Met the blue-buttoned Mandarin again. Extracted the following information:-\n\nThe high road from this part of the country to Pekin is that which passes through \"Ning-hae.\" (The commencement of the Great Wall.)\n\nThere is much traffic along it. The road passes within 30 le of \"Lew-Sia-Kwang.\"\n\nThe road crosses 6 rivers, and at the following distances:-\n\nFrom \"Lew-Sia-Kwang to R. \"Yang-ho\" 30 le\n\n\"Yang-ho\" to \"Ching-lung-ho\" 80 le\n\n\"Ching-lung-ho\" to \"Lan-ho\" 50 le\n\n\"Lan-ho\" to \"Sa-ho\" 180 le\n\n\"Sa-ho\" to \"Yin-lew-ho\" 60 le\n\n\"Yin-lew-ho\" to \"San-ho\" 80 le\n\n\"San-ho\" to \"Tung-chaon\" 70 le\n\n\"Tung-chaon\" to \"Pekin\" 35 le\n\nTotal 590 le or about 180 miles.\n\n\"Tung-chaon\" is on the \"Pei-ho,\" and is the place where travellers leave their boats, in order to go overland to Pekin-the water shoaling there too much to admit of boats going higher.\n\nThese rivers are not spanned by bridges, but in ordinary seasons are all fordable, and after heavy rains are crossed in boats.\n\n2nd. Went down to the R. \"Yang-ho.\" It is very shallow, having barely a foot of water at low tide half-a-mile from the mouth; rise of tide is about 5 to 6 feet.\n\nWater is fresh even at mouth during the ebb.\n\nThe bottom is sandy, with mud mixed. Junks unload in the mouth within the bar. There were 6 there laden with millet and a very small seed which is an article of food. About 20 or 30 carts were there to carry it off, each drawn by 6 mules and ponies. They were going to a place called \"Poo-ning-hsien,\" 30 le distant; which is, they say, not a large place, but containing some thousands of inhabitants. This town is situated on the great road, probably at the place where the \"Yang-ho\" crosses it. Some people say the road crosses the Yang-ho 15 le from its mouth.\n\nThey say there are no large towns along the road, and that if we had merchandise to take in the country by the road we should meet with no market short of \"Tien-tsin\" or \"Tung-chaon.\"\n\nTheir carts are about 4' 6\" between the wheels. They say that for a journey to Pekin they would use a lighter description of cart, as the road is bad-apparently from mud and ruts. It crosses small hills, but no considerable ones, and in general skirts the foot of a mountain range. They call the distance to Pekin about 560 le, and perform the journey in a light cart in 6 days.\n\nAnother river exists to the E. of the \"Yang-ho,\" called the \"Tac-cho-ho.\" Its mouth is only about 1 mile from it, but this is a much shorter one. It receives the water from the plain to the south of the great road, running from E. to W. and then turning to the south to empty itself into the \"Yang-ho\" Bay.\n\nThey say that 60 le to the southward of this is a small river called the \"Poo-ho,\" and there is a garrison of 600 or 700 Tartars there.\n\nThis river was not mentioned before as crossing the road, and is perhaps a short one.\n\nIn the afternoon we sent a boat up the river to buy vegetables, but they were met by a party of 100 armed Tartars, commanded by a blue-buttoned Mandarin, who said he had been sent by another with a red button, from a town 30 le distant (probably \"Poo-ning-hsien\")-to prevent our landing or going on shore at all.",

The knowledge that the former may best be promoted by a removal to a larger circle of duty, affords the only satisfaction that we can derive at the prospect of a termination to that official intercourse with your Excellency, which has throughout your administration, been uniformly so gratifying to us.\n\nF.

CLIFTON  \nBURTON GEO: ROBINSON\n\nCouncil Chamber,  \n30th March, 1859.\n\n## The Lieutenant Governor's Reply\n\nMr. President, My Lord Bishop, and Gentlemen of the Legislative Council,\n\nI accept with no ordinary feelings of gratification the expression of kind feelings contained in the Address which you have just presented to me.\n\nIt has indeed been my constant desire to live in harmony with, and promote the real interests of the community over which it has been my good fortune to preside. As you state, many social improvements have of late years been carried into effect, and it has been well observed that the character of a country is expressed in its institutions; but whatever success has attended upon my efforts, and of which your generosity has formed a judgment favorable far beyond my expectations, the result is mainly attributable to the advice and assistance... \n\nPage 295  \nch 9369",

        "content_text": "EXTRACT from General Orders by the Hon. Major-General D'Aguilar, Č.B.\n\nHead Quarters, H.M. steam-frigate \"Vulture,\"\n\noff Whampoa, April 2, 1847.\n\nWith the concurrence of his Excellency Sir John Francis Davis, Baronet, &c., the Major-General Commanding gladly avails himself of the services of the Honourable Major Caine, and appoints him Commandant of Hong Kong, during the absence of the Major-General, and the main body of the troops on service at Canton.\n\nBy order, J. BRUCE, Captain,\n\nAssistant Adjutant-General.\n\nIt will be seen by one of the documents furnished by one of our Chinese correspondents at Canton, that the population there anticipated that Hong Kong would be \"attacked and plundered\" during the absence of the fleet and the main body of the forces. The opportunity was tempting, and rumours reached Canton that it had actually been taken advantage of. Supposing them to have originated with the Chinese themselves, we were inclined to lend them an incredulous ear; but since our return, we learn that an organized attack for the purpose was really apprehended by Triads and pirates by water and land. We have no means of ascertaining whether the reports were well founded, but have endeavoured to inform ourselves of their import.\n\nIt was said that several thousands of lawless ruffians were to fall upon the town, fire the houses at several points, so as to distract attention, when the Treasury, the Bank, Spring Gardens, and Messrs. Jardine, Matheson, and Co.'s premises were to be attacked simultaneously. It was further stated that the Triads of this quarter had called upon the brethren in the adjoining districts; and many of the more peaceably disposed Chinese residents were alarmed that some danger was impending.\n\nAt Heong-Kong, south of this island, an assemblage of Triads took place; and information having been received to that effect, a body of police, under Mr. Caldwell, was dispatched, and succeeded in apprehending five persons as they were returning from the meeting, who have since, however, been discharged, on finding security for good behaviour.\n\nPage 17\n\nWe have little doubt that the reports were greatly exaggerated, and that many of them may have been utterly unfounded; but Major Caine, by making every disposition in his power, and carrying them out with the most commendable activity, seems to have effectually frustrated any hostile intentions; and, charged as he was with the civil and military government during the absence of his Excellency and the Major-General, he contrived, with the small force under his command, not only to prevent any combined attack, but to overawe the common depredators, the number of offences being unusually small during the week. Having been absent at Canton, we must depend upon the information of others as to the arrangements made at Hong Kong, but we believe the following to be a pretty correct account. A central military post of thirty men was established at Keying House, with instructions how to act in case of alarm. At Mr. Edgar's house a corporal and six men were placed to keep up communication with the naval stores and the western police station, and a similar force was posted at the Seaman's Hospital to watch the Gap, and keep clear the communication with the Eastern Stations.\n\nAt Spring Gardens there was another corporal's guard, and the men in the barracks were held to turn out at a moment's notice. Besides these military precautions, it would appear that the police arrangements were equally efficient, the force being scattered all over the town to prevent any assemblage of Chinese, and watch such suspicious persons as might be seen lurking about; a reserve was held in readiness at the Central Station; the guards at the jail and Government offices were reinforced, patrols ranging from West Point to Sookunpoo, were sent out at uncertain periods; the Government gun-boat, well armed, rowed guards all night, visiting the \"Minden\" and \"Alligator\" at intervals; and effective signals were arranged for giving the alarm, either by day or night. The military patrols were placed under the military direction of Captain Burton, whose activity is highly spoken of, and the acting Governor, we humbly think unnecessarily, in person repeatedly inspected the arrangements, both in the harbour and on shore. It was quite proper that he should see that the arrangements were made; but unless especially summoned, they might very well have been left—those on shore to the military and police officers, and those in the harbour to the marine magistrates: by all of whom the duties, so far as we can learn, were most efficiently performed. As a further precaution, the Chinese inhabitants were prohibited from stirring out between the hours of ten at night and four in the morning, and those of them who possessed arms were directed to lodge them in the police office, to be returned on the arrival of the troops from Canton.\n\nPage 48",

But he proposed that the same objects should be obtained, as far as might be, by leaving to yourself as Governor only the direction of matters connected with the China trade, and placing the internal affairs of the Island under a Lieutenant-Governor, to which office Colonel Caine was raised. You were therefore to have no other salary than that paid you by the Foreign Office (which was raised at the same time from three thousand pounds to four thousand pounds). This announcement was communicated to you by the Duke of Newcastle, and on these conditions you accepted the office. Nevertheless, as soon as you arrived in the Island you superseded the arrangement, took the affairs of local Government out of the hands of Colonel Caine, and assumed their direction in person. This proceeding you reported to this Department without making any demand for salary. It was sanctioned without any reference to salary.\n\n\"6. The result of the change is that Colonel Caine is left with a salary of two thousand pounds, besides allowances, as Lieutenant-Governor, and without any material duties to perform, except during your absence: as, however, this is in no degree attributable to Colonel Caine himself, who was transferred to the Lieutenant-Governorship from his own office of Secretary without even consulting him, and entirely for the furtherance of the scheme projected by the Duke of Newcastle, it cannot be avoided.”\n\nI here append an extract from the instructions given by Chum kwang tuk, Agitator-in-chief of the \"Sunon\" district, under the orders of the Imperial Commissioner \"Yeh;\" the translation is by T. F. Wade, Esq., then Chinese Secretary to the Superintendency.\n\n\"If you really have the power, if you could perform the service of taking the heads of 'Samkwie' (Mr. Caldwell) and Kama Ken' (Colonel Caine) you shall be recompensed with 50,000 dollars, a button of the 6th grade, and a dark feather. (Note by Mr. Wade explains, these words are marked in the original by circles, which correspond to our underlinings.) The Emperor's edict says Exterminate all the barbarians of Hong Kong. Samkwie and Akin are the only two in Hong Kong who know all about the Chinese, &c.\"\n\n(Signed) THOMAS F. WADE.\n\nChinese Secretary.\n\nHong Kong, April 19, 1857.\n\n23\n\n51\n\nOf the émeute at Hong Kong in November, 1856, the Memorial to the Colonial Office, attached, contains the details as exhibited in my despatch to the Colonial Office, and to which a simple acknowledgement of its receipt was all I received from the Colonial Office, without a single comment or approval.\n\nLearning in 1861 that Colonel Dunlop, Royal Artillery, was in England, I addressed him a note, asking his opinion with regard to the said émeute, that officer having been in command of the garrison at the time; his reply, in original, I forwarded to the Colonial Office on 4th January, 1861, and a copy of the same I now quote:\n\n(Extract.)\n\n\"My dear Caine,\n\nPortsmouth, January 2nd, 1860.\n\nHaving received a requisition from you for a military force on account of a large and threatening assemblage of Chinese in the city of Victoria, I immediately ordered the 59th Regiment under arms, and took about 100 men to the scene of disturbance. There I found a very large mob of all the lower orders of Chinese in the town had assembled to the extent, I should say, of from 10,000 to 15,000 men; they were using violent language and gestures, to the general alarm of all the respectable inhabitants, as well Europeans as Chinese; every shop and house was closed. You, after some time obtained a hearing, and your firm, decided, yet temperate language and bearing, the knowledge the Chinese had that you were not to be trifled with, and seeing you backed by a strong military force, were the reasons, in my opinion, of the mob gradually dispersing, without any act of violence. In conjunction with you, I took measures for the protection of property, and, after some days, affairs settled down quietly. On the return of his Excellency the Governor, I received his thanks for the services of the military, with a notification that, to show his approval, he wished me to be a Member of the Executive Council.\n\nThe whole of the civilians of the colony were for some time in much alarm, which was shared in by his Excellency. But it afterwards appeared, that the ill-affected Chinese saw that, from the prepared state we were in, it was useless to attempt anything against life or property.\n\nIn conclusion, I must say, in my opinion, we had to thank you that the mob dispersed without the active inter-",

        "content_text": "# Jn 275\n\nTo His EXCELLENCY SIR HERCULES G. R. ROBINSON, Knight, Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Colony of Hongkong and its Dependencies and Vice-Admiral of the same.\n\nThis Memorial of Residents in the Colony of Hongkong humbly Sheweth: That the Memorialists whose names are hereto subscribed respectfully lay before Your Excellency their anxious desire that the Law of Limited Liability of Shareholders in Joint Stock Companies as prevailing in England may be carried into effect in this Colony.\n\n2\\. Your Memorialists are aware that an Ordinance embodying this principle and described as the \"Companies' Ordinance of 1864\" was lately rejected on its second reading in the Legislative Council by a majority of one vote, but your Memorialists are led to believe that this circumstance simply arose from a misapprehension of the views held on this important question by the great majority of this Community.\n\n3\\. Your Memorialists are deeply interested in the prosperity of the Colony and are convinced that its welfare can be largely promoted by Joint Stock Associations formed for the purpose of carrying out such enterprises as cannot be undertaken by single individuals or by Mercantile firms. And your Memorialists clearly perceive that such combinations of private Capital can only be attained through the influence of a measure which will limit responsibility of Shareholders to a fixed extent.\n\n4\\. It is most respectfully submitted by your Memorialists that there always is in this place and in the neighbouring Ports of China a certain accumulation of private means not actively used in Commerce, and which could in many ways be advantageously employed were the desired Law in force. There is also a large stream of wealth constantly leaving China, some of which would assuredly remain here for permanent investment, by means of the facilities created under the operation of the said Law. An amount of outside Capital would thus be attracted to the Colony which would greatly stimulate its industrial character. It is moreover highly probable that nearly all the public Companies at the open Ports of China, would in course of time, avail of the privilege of registration in this Colony which would thus become the Official Head Quarters of many important enterprises, and attain a more eminent position in connection with the trade of China than belongs to it now.\n\n6\\. Lastly your Memorialists confidently believe that there is nothing exceptional in the character of Hongkong as a place of business, so as to render it unfit to possess the desired facility for local enterprise, and your Memorialists earnestly pray Your Excellency to consider with favour this petition, and again lay before the Legislative Council the \"Ordinance of 1864,\" together with this prayer of the Inhabitants that the said Ordinance may become the Law of this Colony. \"Companies' And Petitioners humbly pray, &c.,\n\nyour\n\nGeorge J.

        "content_text": "and in a discourteous and defiant manner, \"He is not a piece of paper to be produced in Court. Let the Defendant subpoena him in the usual way.\" (Slight applause in Court). On that I, considering that the Defendant was a Chinaman, said to this effect \"Do you mean, Mr Pollard, to put them to the expense and difficulty of finding and subpoenaing your own servant?\"\n\nUpon this, you, with vehemence of tone and manner said to me, \"I will put only those witnesses into the box which I as Counsel for the Plaintiff's think fit. I will not be dictated to or talked down by any one as to what I am to do.\" I was taken aback, and said \"I was not dictating to you or talking you down, you will do your duty and I will do mine.\" I meant, as you must have known, indeed I believe I added, that you would call or not call witnesses according to your duty, and that I in directing the Jury would do mine in directing them to make the proper inferences from your keeping back such a witness. What you said, added to your tone and manner, inferred that I had improperly dictated to you, and that I had improperly attempted to talk you down. This was your second contempt of Court.\n\nNow there at least should have been an end; but acting on your all but universal rule, you would and did reply to me, and you said \"That is all right, if we would only stick to it,\" in a tone and with a manner which inferred and must have been meant to infer that I would not.\n\nNow this was your third contempt of Court. By this time your manner towards me appeared to me to be violent, and your general bearing was such as that I felt the cause could not then proceed with any chance of justice. I felt that the Court had been grievously insulted. I felt it to be my duty then and there either to have committed or to have imposed a fine on you, but at the same time I feared that anger might be present in my mind, and I left the Bench as the least evil before me, and to avoid what from experience I had too much reason to expect, a continuance of insult.\n\nAfter an absence which I now wish had been longer, I returned to the Bench. On my return your manner was contemptuous towards me. Not noticing that, I asked whether you would apologize. Your first notice of this was, \"For what, my Lord?\" You then went into wide generalities, that if you had offended no one was more willing to admit it and apologize. You then referred to my having asked you if you would produce a witness, on which I said that you had tauntingly told the Court a witness was not a piece of paper, as if I did not know witness was not a piece of paper. Thereupon you said, admitting inferentially that you had said so, but still in a defiant manner, \"Is it that you wish me to apologise for?\" (The Chief Justice here paused a moment, and looking at Mr Pollard, said, emphatically) \"Mr Pollard, your eyes are opened very wide\" (laughter in court).\n\nMr Pollard: And with cause, my lord.\n\nThe Chief Justice proceeded: I said yes, and that there were other matters requiring an apology, and you proceeded to address me in a manner and tone as offensive as before, from which I felt satisfied your only object was to get me into a most unseemly wrangle. Not choosing to trust myself then to punish the contempt as I felt was necessary, and feeling that until you had apologised, or at least in the then state of excitement and indecorum into which the proceedings had been thrown the case could not properly be proceeded with, I adjourned the Court as the least objectionable course.\n\nYou then still persevering in your defiant tone, protested against the adjournment as being entirely without precedent. I said I should adjourn the Court till Saturday (the Friday being a holiday) adding, \"as we cannot get on in the present circumstances,\" and you still as if you had not caused what happened desired me to take a note of your objection. You then said \"If I have done any wrong, there are certain steps which may be taken by the Court,\" and you requested me to take a note of your objection. By this language you adopted deliberately all you had previously said, and so far from apologising courted the consequences on yourself personally of your contempts.\n\nI replied there were such steps, but that I would not then take them. You proceeded, and I had peremptorily to say, \"Silence, Sir.\" I said you would not dare to use elsewhere such language as you had used. I added \"The Court is adjourned.\" Still you persisted in renewing your unseemly language to the Court, addressing me after I had requested you to be silent; and after I had adjourned the Court one of your observations was, \"I always answer when I am attacked and not without.\" Your speaking at all was an indecorum. What you said was a contempt in imputing to the Court that it had attacked you, which was the converse of what had occurred. I consider this your fourth contempt.\n\nI was thus, by what you said after the court was adjourned, driven to adjourn the case so far indefinitely, and I said I could not hear it, you being Counsel, till you should have apologised. I am glad to find that the cause out of which the above occurrences arose has been referred to arbitration, because I feel sure that the arbitrators will decide according to the very right of the case, which unfortunately this Court, being tied by technical rules applicable to another state of society, can scarcely do.\n\nOn Saturday another case came on in which you again appeared as Counsel. I having previously directed the Acting Registrar to communicate with you my intention to give a decision unless you previously apologised, I asked if any gentleman had anything to say in reference to Thursday. You were present, looking very indignantly at me, but said nothing. I then shortly referred to and cited the leading cases shewing that ex necessitate I was bound to punish an insult to the Court and advised consideration of those cases to persons interested in the matter. My intention was obviously to give you another opportunity after referring to the law to apologise. I said I would give any decision Monday, and that you had had due notice. You taking the matter as one of dry notice, said \"I have received no notice.\" It seemed that the Acting Registrar had told you I should give my decision, but he omitted to say on Monday, as I had intended he should.\n\nThe spirit in which the objection that you had not received notice was made satisfied me that you did not understand what had passed in its true bearings. Having obtained leave to address me you began thus, \"Merely this, my Lord; I don't seek to be aggressive.\" This language under the circumstances of your being before me as charged with contempt, was a contempt, and I designate it your fifth contempt.\n\nYou proceeded \"It is the Bench I respect.\" This was said in a tone which clearly inferred, and was meant to infer, that it was the Bench as distinguished from its occupant that you, a Queen's Counsel, had such respect for as you professed to have. This was a contempt, according to the highest authority, of a very grave character. This was your sixth contempt. (At this stage Mr Pollard found some cause of uneasiness at his neck, to which he paid momentary attention. The Chief Justice, again pausing, said) \"When you are ready, Mr Pollard, I will proceed.\"\n\nMr Pollard: The button of my band has come off, your lordship.\n\nThe Chief Justice: Oh, I can wait for that. It is quite proper that the button of your band should come off. (Continuing to read): You then proceeded to say that you had done nothing which could be properly called an insult. You then sat down and continued to address me sitting, on which I had to request you to stand whilst you addressed the Court. You then said that was all you had to say. I give you credit for having uniformly insisted as you did in your defence that you have said and done nothing which can properly be called an insult to the Court.\n\nPage 10\n\n428\n\nEX.",

I give you credit for having uniformly insisted, as you did in your defence, that you have said and done nothing which can properly be called an insult to the court. I have no desire to conceal the fact that the difficulty you have imposed on me has very deeply pained me ever since Thursday last, and that it will continue greatly to pain me, probably more than it will pain you, not because I am anxious as to my own personal position other than as it is important to sustain the judicial status in this colony, but because I respect your legal learning, and because our own forensic contests have left on my mind pleasant remembrances of kindly feelings towards you, which even present circumstances cannot change, and because you have many qualities which deservedly make you popular. If in duty to my office I could have overlooked your conduct, I would have done so, but to mark my sense of your conduct is, in the words of Mr. Justice Holroyd, a duty which I owe to the station to which I belong. You say you have never insulted the court. Whether you are justified in distinguishing the court and its successive occupants in that language, I leave for you to consider at leisure; you have insulted me, and in insulting me, you have insulted the court. I may add that the more humble is the occupant of the bench for the time, the less learned and competent he may be for his office, the more important is it to surround him with those forms of respect which have been devised to support authority against those who would usurp, subvert, or destroy it.\n\nI now proceed to pronounce my decision as ex necessitate rei, the only judge of fact and law. I pronounce you guilty of grave contempts, and as from equal necessity, this is the only tribunal\n\n431\n\nEX.",

I am, however, by no means prepared to affirm that the information in the enclosed report \n\n(Enclosure No. 7) \n\n20 \n\nand the precis furnished by Mr. Wodehouse is altogether reliable. In fact, I find it difficult to suppose that such numerous Piracies could have been carried out by so limited a number of persons, as the Association of Chefs referred to in the enclosed documents. If the disposition and previous antecedents of a great number of the maritime population of South China incline them to Piratical pursuits, as unquestionably is the case, I cannot readily believe in any monopoly of such acts by any Association, certainly not in any similar monopoly enduring for any lengthened period.",

Barff is receiving - but it is presumably his own $2400 a year; Staffans $2100, Tung Wah Clerk $1920, Chief Justice's Clerk $2400, Luis now getting $2400, Mosche Judge Clerk - $1440 - he is now getting $2040.\n\nThe proposed scheme entails a re-appointment.\n\nThe plan held by those: Judy has a clerk at $600.

Hurovski's is a practical letter, & if he were on the spot we might have done things more tangible, but like ourselves he has to guess at many of the arrangements. His paper differs from the aim that he makes the Accountant the second in command, giving his non-clerk additional work - is giving half his clerk to the Registry making the staff 3½ persons instead of 4 persons, as the Commissioners & this minute proposes. But then he keeps or substantiates Sheriff, a I suggest the possibility of merging the Sheriff in the Registry.\n\nI think we might with a strong infusion of the Govt.

        "content_text": "208\n\n(6)\n\nthe other hand, the spirit licences, and certain items under the Stamp Ordinance, probably fall more, in proportion to their small numbers, on the Europeans; but, upon the whole, I am of opinion, and I am sure you will agree with me, that we are very lightly taxed. Hongkong is a free port; we have no income tax; we have no public debt, and we have a moderate surplus,-less than one year's income. For that revenue, which, as I say, has been a growing revenue for some years past, and that without the imposition of any additional taxation--for that revenue, what has the Government done? We have kept up, I think, an efficient police force, and there has been no stinting of money in those ordinary functions of Government represented by the various services and establishments of the Colony. Whatever has been required for getting the Supreme Court into that working order which the Chief Justice and His Honour the Acting Chief Justice urged over and over again upon successive Governors as being necessary, has now been provided. It has involved a little expense with respect to interpretation and other points. The vote for public instruction is now larger than ever it was: so is the vote for medical and sanitary purposes. I have added a new branch to the Harbour Department, the Surveyorship under our Merchant Shipping Ordinance of 1879.\n\nInstead of $700 a year as in 1877, we now spend $10,000 a year in tree planting. In short, I don't think anything absolutely needed for the wants of the Colony has been neglected. I am bound to say, that during the four years of my Government of the Colony, whenever this Council has met I have been only too anxious to receive from my honourable friends any suggestions either with respect to prudent retrenchment or to any necessary outlay. And during these four years, there has not occurred one single division in Council. Now, my two honourable friends on my right (the Acting Chief Justice and the Attorney General) have had experience in other Crown Colonies-in Singapore and Jamaica--and I think they will learn with some surprise and gratification the fact that for four years we have never had a division in this Council.\n\nPerhaps there is some misunderstanding with respect to the functions of this Council. It has been asserted that an unofficial member of the Legislative Council has not the power of initiating anything, and that his position is a peculiar and somewhat discouraging one on that account. But, as a matter of fact, an unofficial member of the Legislative Council has, in that respect, exactly the same powers and privileges as a member of the House of Commons; a member of the Legislative Council can, in fact, initiate any vote or motion he pleases, with the one proviso that he cannot propose the expenditure of money. The same rule applies precisely in the House of Commons; there is no difference whatever; any motion may be made by members of Council in the form prescribed by the rules and regulations, all of which are really based on the orders and procedure of Parliament in England. Our Legislative Council, as constituted at this moment, represents the community. We have now, and have had for some time past, a Chinese member sitting in this Council Chamber. No one, I am sure, deny that I was justified in recommending the Queen to appoint a Chinese member on the Legislative Council in a Colony where so much of the commercial life is conducted by the Chinese-where the wealthiest merchants are Chinese--where the Chinese possess so much property-where they are the permanent inhabitants, and where nine-tenths of the Government revenues are contributed by them. We have, I am happy to say, a representative here of the old house of TURNER & Co., and a representative of the great house of JARDINE, MATHESON & Co.,--and the official members of the Council, they also represent something more than the Government; so that, as far as this body is concerned, it has, I think, every requisite a legislative body should possess for the proper conduct of public business. And that is one reason why I regard the progress this Colony has made as natural and safe. It has not been the doing of any one man. It has been brought about, in fact, by the community, and under the watchful eye of the legislature of the Colony.\n\nI may, perhaps, take this opportunity of saying a few words upon a subject which has, no doubt, sometimes attracted your attention, and that is the allegation made that during the four years of my Government of this Colony, I have too much encouraged the Chinese. Now, I believe that the duty of a Governor in dealing with a community such as I find here, is to avoid what is popularly called encouragement of any body, or of any class, but to simply hold the balance evenly between all men. And that is what I have done. Coming here with a few years' experience, at the other side of the China Sea, of the Government of a Chinese community, I very soon after my arrival was waited on by some Chinese gentlemen of Hongkong, who frankly told me their position in the Colony. They pointed out to me that there were certain restrictions, some laid upon them, others attempted to be laid upon them, to which they objected, and they asked me, at all events, to assist them to this extent, not to allow undue or unfair restrictions to be laid on the Chinese, but to give them that same equality and fair play that they thought they were entitled to with all other subjects of the Queen.\n\nI was not in the Colony many weeks when there came under my notice one most serious restriction that was about to be laid upon them, and which, after consulting them, I was able to prevent. Three days before I came to the Colony, a proposal was made which would certainly have had the effect of preventing an influx of Chinese, and probably would have driven a good many out of the Colony. It was made after Sir ARTHUR KENNEDY left, three days before I arrived, and it was submitted to me because it was assumed a certain amount of force would be necessary to carry it out.\n\nThe Colonial Secretary himself had great doubts as to its prudence, but he submitted it to me. It was called \"Rules and Regulations with respect to Chinese graves.” It was to apply solely to the Chinese. I requested the Colonial Secretary to get ten or a dozen of the most respectable Chinese that he and the Registrar-General knew, to come to me and consider these particular rules. They came, Mr. CHUN AYIN was the spokesman; Mr. WAI AKWONG was present, and some leading Chinese gentlemen now in the Colony. When the document was translated to them, they began by saying that the rules had been framed without consultation with them and without their knowledge. They pointed out that the rules so framed were inconsistent with their religion and their usages as regards graves and services for the dead. One of the rules to which Mr. CHUN AYIN especially objected was this, \"Single graves shall not be more than 6 feet long by 2 ft. wide, nor less than 5 feet deep.\" Now, he and others pointed out as regards the depth, that they thought it a very good thing, and that a law to that effect, already existed in the Colony, but with respect to the provision \"not more than 6 feet long by 2 feet wide,\" they said that their graves were always more than 6 feet long and 2 feet wide. An ordinary Chinese coffin measures 6 feet 6 inches in length, and it is 2 feet 7 inches wide at the head. The coffin of a Chinese gentleman who has received a button or decoration-and many of our merchants who have subscribed to various benevolent objects in China possess decorations-is 7 feet 9 inches long, and even the coffin of a Chinese is over 6 feet in length. Therefore, these Chinese gentlemen said to me,\" There is no necessity for any exercise of force. The effect will be that we will go away if such rules are promulgated about our graves.\" They reminded me of what occurred at Macao, and said it would drive people out of the Colony. I need hardly tell you that I put my veto on those rules and regulations, and that I have not allowed any system to be enforced that would offend the prejudices of the Chinese on the subject of their graves.\n\nThere also came before me a proposal which showed that a special restriction had been laid upon them, and which very much concerns what I said in the opening part of my remarks about the transactions in landed property. There came before me certain reports of the Surveyor-General referring to the restrictions imposed by order of the Governor in Council on the extension of Chinese premises in Hongkong. The Executive Council met to consider the reports. There was an application before me for converting certain European buildings in Queen's-road Central into Chinese structures, for building Chinese houses in Duddel-street, and there was also a proposal made by Messrs. DOUGLAS LAPRAIK & Co. to dispose of certain land for Chinese commercial purposes in another part of the Colony. The upshot of the discussion in Council was, that I was able to relax somewhat the rule that appeared to have been made---by Sir RICHARD MACDONNELL, I think it was-to restrict the building of Chinese houses, and I was able to allow Mr. CHATER to sell the property and to allow the Chinese to build their shops and stores, but, although entertaining some doubts as to the policy of not allowing Messrs. DOUGLAS LAPRAIK & Co. to sell their land to Chinese, I declined, on the advice of the Council, to permit it. But in writing to the Secretary of State I said, \"I am disposed to think the line Mr. PRICE, the Surveyor General, has now drawn cannot be maintained very long in justice either to the Chinese who wish to buy property or to the Europeans who wish to sell it.\" I transmitted the minutes of Council and a memorandum by one of the members who opposed the slight relaxation I made in the restriction, and who expressed the opinion that the Governor should oppose the erection of Chinese shops and houses in the European business quarter of the city, and reserve the central portion of the city for English and foreign firms. He seemed to think that the increase of Chinese I anticipated would not occur, and that the future of the Colony was to be what it had been in the early days, more of a European than a Chinese community. However, Lord CARNARVON approved so far of what I did in partially removing the restriction, and so the matter rests. The three or four years that have passed since then have only shown more clearly the impolicy, indeed, the impossibility, of trying to stem the free current of commercial life, and, by any artificial restrictions, of endeavouring in fact, such restrictions are to preserve the best parts of the town to Europeans or Americans. not merely restrictions on the Chinese of Hongkong; they are, indirectly, restrictions on the manufacturers of Manchester, who want the cheapest and best agents here for placing their goods on the China market.",

        "content_text": "# THE CHINA REVIEW.\n\n## NOTES AND QUERIES.\n\nThe examination process is as follows. A notice is issued, and the students assemble according to magistracies in the Provincial Examination Hall (`bung yuan`), when five successive examinations are held in the following manner. Suppose there are ten thousand in all. After the first bout, perhaps ten per cent. are excluded, and the names of the others are hung up outside the Hall, according to magistracies, the first ten in each magistracy being specially noted. This is continued five times, the Prefect each time excluding about ten per cent. of the least meritorious composers. The result of the fifth heat is that about one tenth of the whole number of each magistracy is selected; the names of the ten best of each of these are specially prominent, and the first in each ten receives the honorary appellation of \"Prefect's choice\" (`fu pi`). The advantage gained by the `fu pi` is that, as a matter of courtesy, the Literary Chancellor will, as of course, pass him for his Degree. All the other distinctions, consequent upon this quintuple analysis, count for nothing but local and ephemeral honour amongst one's friends. Nearly all candidates are \"retained\" (`li`) as eligible for the degree of `siu tsai`, as of course.\n\nThis takes place generally in the eighth month of the Chinese autumn. The Literary Chancellor has a `yamen` of his own and receives a Commission for three years. The first two of these are the `sui tsai`, or years for examination for the degree of `siu tsai`. The subjects are, as in the case of the Magistrate's and Prefect's examinations, prose and poetry, but the Chancellor devotes one day to each. An average of perhaps ten per cent. of candidates obtain a prima facie degree, but before the list of the successful is issued (`fa pang`), a second test Examination takes place (`fu k'ao`) in order to guard against imposition, \"cribbing,\" prompting, &c. Generally about eight per cent. of the successful scrape through this second ordeal, upon which, after an interval of ten days or so, the list of graduates is suspended outside the Hall.\n\nThe next step is to buy an official hat, surmounted with a gilt swan in lieu of a button (`ho muo`), which ornament is only worn upon the hat on this one occasion; flowers are also stuck in each side of the hair (`twin hua`). The successful ones must then visit the Chancellor, dressed up in their official costume. This visit takes place at his `yamen`. The graduates first turn to the north and kotow to His Majesty; after that they turn to the Chancellor and kotow to him likewise.\n\nThe Chancellor addresses to them, collectively, a few valedictory words, after which the students retire and proceed to their respective homes. A visit to the ancestral cemetery is an indispensable sequence of having graduated. This ceremony is apparently to establish, before the manes of one's ancestors, this joyful evidence of continuity of honour in the family. The next year a similar examination to that just described takes place, immediately after which the Literary Chancellor holds a second examination (`lien chia`) of the two groups of graduates, for honours (`la chia`). This is also in two subjects only, prose essay and poetical composition, and lasts but one day. The result is announced, like the result of the Magistrate's and Prefect's Examinations, by the posting of a `pai`, not, as in the examinations for the degrees of `siu tsai`, `chü jên`, and `chin shih`, by the issue of a `pang`. The `pai`, or notice, is less solemn and imposing than the `pang`, or official list. The bachelors (`siu tsai`) of each magistracy are now arranged in three grades (`san teng`), the first candidate in the first grade of each magisterial group receiving the title of `lin sheng`, which enables him to levy a contribution of about 500 cash from each of the Bachelors of his magistracy who have competed at this examination for honours, and qualifies him to act as the spokesman and introducer (as mentioned above), in all matters interesting the bachelors or undergraduates of his magistracy.\n\nThose two years being ended, study for the degree of `chü jên` is the next step. It must be mentioned that those graduates who have not reached the standard necessary to become enrolled in one of the three grades for honours are obliged to wait till the second examination for a `chü jên` takes place, to wit, three extra years.\n\nThe examination for a `chü jên` is held by the `chu k'ao`, a special Commissioner appointed by the Emperor to each Province for each `k'o` or examination. This functionary is always accompanied by an assistant examiner (`fu chu k'ao`), and occupies the Town Hall (`kung kuan`), of the Provincial Metropolis, not having, like the Chancellor, a `yamen` appropriated to his use. This examination is much more severe than that for a `siu tsai`, the duration being nine days, in three bouts of three days each, during each bout of which the candidates are rigidly confined, night and day, to their examination cells. The first three days are devoted to essays upon subjects taken from the Four Books (`sz shu`); the second three to essays on the Classics (`ching`); the third to miscellaneous essays upon subjects chosen at random (`ts' lun`). The candidates are no longer ranged according to magistracies, nor the date at which they graduated as `siu tsai`. Perhaps two hundred will be a fair average for the number of `chü jên` degrees allotted to each Province. Under the name of `fu pang` are ranged those who have reached a high standard, but who by special favour receive a degree over and above the number allotted, owing to their great merit. In about a month the `chü k'ao` issues his list (`fu pang`), in which the first candidate, among all from the Province, obtains the title of `chieh yuan`, the second that of `ya yuan`, and the third that of `ching kusi`; all purely honorary titles. The rest of the successful ones are termed `en fusi`. A visit is now first made to the Provincial Governor (`fu tai`), and afterwards to the `chü k'ao`, by all the graduates who have thus taken their second degree.\n\nThe examinations above described may be translated by the analogous terms, \"matriculation,\" \"little go,\" \"Bachelor of Arts,\" \"Master of Arts.\" The third year is spent by the Chancellor in \"going circuit\" to ascertain the literary merit of each township.\n\nThe examination for the degree of `chin shih` takes place at Peking, in the third month of the year succeeding that in which the `chü jên` examination was held. A `chü k'ao`, generally an officer of high rank, assisted by a `fu chü k'ao`, are appointed by the Emperor to hold this examination in the Great Hall (`Kung yüan`) at Peking. The subjects are the same as for the `chü jên`, and the ordeal lasts nine days. Not more than a dozen or thirty from each Province are successful. The first candidate receives the honorary appellation of `hui yuan`. This is succeeded by the `tien shih`, or honours examination, held by the Emperor himself, who selects the themes, which are at once published in the Peking Gazette. The first candidate in the Empire is called a `chuang yün`, the second a `pang yen`, the third a `t'an hua`, and the fourth a `ch'uan lu`, terms which may be rendered by the analogous \"senior,\" \"second,\" \"third,\" and \"fourth wranglers.\" The remaining `chin shih` are ranged in three grades (`san ling chun`), the first grade of which are drafted in the Hanlin Academy, the second of which become petty Officers at Court (`siao ching kuan`), and the third of which are appointed by lot to expectant offices in the Provinces (`chi pu`). The subjects for the `tien shih` are the Five Classics, and five pages of prose composition. Lastly comes the `ch'ao k'ao`, or viva voce examination by the Emperor, who puts five questions to each `chin shih` (`t'si wên wu tao`). According to His Majesty's prepossession is the candidate marked out for any special duty or office.\n\nThe above outline of the Chinese curriculum is necessarily incomplete, and is herewith submitted for correction. Any shortcomings which may be pointed out by letter, to the Editor of the China Review, will be noted, and on some future occasion an ...\n\nPage 180\nPage 181",

        "content_text": "503\n\n2\n\nPARIS.\n\n(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT).\n\nJanuary 13th, 1889,\n\nThe funeral of Gambetta, a village grocer's son, cast into the shade those of Louis XVIII, the last reigning monarch buried in France. The Second Empire buried ex-King Jerome with all the pomp and circumstance of soldiery, and interred in 1865, the duc de Morny with all administrative honors. In both ceremonies, soul was wanting: the people, the country, took no part. Gambetta's obsequies were an explosion of patriotism: the resurrection of 1870-71, with all its sufferings, its lessons, and its hopes.\n\nTHE CATHOLIC REGISTER.\n\nIt is proposed that the bottom of the vault be strewn with similar soil, coffin laid on a layer of soil several feet deep, as practiced in some states of America. Lafayette's remains were treated similarly.\n\nA kind of retrospective controversy is taking place respecting the cause of Gambetta's death. It belongs to legend, so let it rest there. Opinion considers the deceased, like poor Garfield, was over-doctored. Had the wound been dressed as ordinarily, the health maintained by salines, and the patient fairly dosed with proper salts, and kept on his feet, instead of being compelled to lie in bed, a favorite cure in France, he would be alive to-day. Perhaps his work was done: during his 4 years, he must have lived several lives. In his coffin, with the tricolor, for a martial cloak around him, he truly \"look'd like a warrior taking his rest.\"\n\nThe picture of the country mutilated, followed the hearse, in the symbols of Metz and Strasbourg: the hope of the country's future, was cheered in the deputations of the colleges and the schools. There was a striking unanimity in thus glorifying two epochs. It was a patriotic consolation, and exhibited France to be one and indivisible, that manifestation around the representative of its greatest symbol, and which so scrutinized and solemnized, the resistance of 1870-71.\n\nLet there be no mistake about the meaning and the moral of the funeral. The three millions of people, who came from every part of France, from every corner of Paris, to line the route of the cortège, did not arrive to honor the doctrines of Gambetta: to mark a new triumph for the republic, or the official recognition of free thought as one of the \"religions\"—a paradox, of the state: no, it was the apotheosis of patriotism superior to politics and religion, incarnated in the man of Prague, and not the chief of a party or the leader of a creed.\n\nRespecting the procession, it was a military fairy spectacle. In the words of Bossuet, the honors wanted in nothing, save him, to whom they were rendered. From the Palais Bourbon to the cemetery of Père Lachaise, is between three and four miles, and the procession starting at ten o'clock, arrived at half-past one; the rear of the cortège was at the Palais Bourbon when its head was at the cemetery. It was well organized. Along the route, the windows were filled, not with mourners, but curious onlookers; the crowd in the street was flat, reserved rather: it displayed neither sorrow, joy, revenge, nor hope. But it may not have experienced all these. Heads uncovered, when the bier arrived, as is the courtesy ever rendered to death. The working population, say half a million, were bare-headed, that being their every day toilette. There was no smoking in the crowds: no jesting. An intense feeling of curiosity dominated, mingled with the satisfaction at the grandeur of the splendid pageant. The flags in mourning, attested very extensive sympathy.\n\nThe deputations and delegations, with their 5,000 crowns represented France; not its industrial institutions. Louis Blanc had workmen for numbers; Ledru Rollin, electors; Thiers, republicans, but Gambetta had all these, for he meant France. He thought his countrymen to be French, not cosmopolitans, and the people retained for Gambetta a secret complaisance and a profound respect. The thousands, including political adversaries—Paul de Cassagnac and the duc de Broglie, who visited his remains at the Palais Bourbon, attest this. The decoration of the façade of the Chamber of Deputies—a black crape scarf drawn across, with the sashes strewn on the majestic steps, the ushers ranged in front of the pillars, and the illuminated lamps veiled, was most effective. The catafalque was neither new, nor rich: it was uncommon. That which had served to inter the Bonapartist de Morny, was considered out of place for the Grand Patriot, though it had conveyed the remains of Thiers.\n\nEfforts are being made to retain the remains permanently in Paris and not at Nice, that might become Italian again, alongside his mother and his favorite aunt. He has bequeathed his brain to the Anthropological museum, to science, as Voltaire did his heart to the Parisians. Upwards of 6,000 applications have already been received, to be present at the technical lecture on the deceased's brain.\n\nA few popular errors to be corrected. Gambetta is not of Jewish extraction; he descends from an old, humble, and pious Catholic family, of Celle, near Savona. Also: he was first elected a deputy in 1869, and returned for Marseilles, his official opponent being Suez de Lesseps, a distant relative of the Empress Eugénie, but a republican since the sinking of the Empire. There also opposed him at the same time, as an Orleanist. At the funeral of the Liberator, the crowd cried, Vive la République! At the obsequies of the Patriot, the nation exclaimed, Vive la France! Gambetta's followers will be absorbed into the other groups; his doctrines will be presented in another form. Time alone can develop the leadership of the republicans and there will be no lack of Richmonds in the field. But that leader will not be able to stir men, to rouse up and lead the people. And should a national crisis ever come, millions will sigh for the touch of a vanished hand, and the sound of a voice that is still.\n\nGambetta's death settles no pending questions; nor is it to be feared, the disputes and the dissensions of republicans. The royalists consider they can make hay while the sun shines. They have no king: true, one has been coming since half a century, and is likely to remain so. The Figaro, a very monarchal journal, cheers its followers, and offers a fat prize to whoever will forward for publication, a plan possessing a grain of common sense, for the restoration of any monarchy.\n\nThe death of General Chanzy is a very great loss to the army: he and Faidherbe were the only two generals whom the Germans counted with; originally he was intended for the navy, and during the invasion, when admirals and post captains, civilians, superseded professional generals, Chanzy had under his orders, a vice-admiral whom he once served in the capacity of midshipman. Chanzy was a \"possible\" president of the Republic; he would never have had, however, the republican vote, as he is an Orleanist, and the Orleanists intend to run the duc d'Aumale as successor to M. Grévy.\n\nNOVICE TO CORRESPONDENTS.\n\nCommunications on Editorial matters to be addressed to the Editor, and those on business to the Manager.

JOSEPH'S COLLEGE.\n\nThe distribution of prizes to the boys of St. Joseph's College took place on Saturday, the 17th instant, at the College in the presence of a very large assemblage. His Excellency the Administrator, who had kindly consented to distribute the prizes, arrived exactly at 3 o'clock, accompanied by Mrs. Marsh and his private Secretary, Mr. Travers. Amongst those present were His Lordship Bishop Raimondi, Very Rev. Fathers Burghignoli and Lémonier, Mr. Loureiro (Portuguese Consul), Mr. Dejardin (French Consul), Mr. Romano (Brazilian Consul), Mr. Musso (Italian Consul), Mr. Coxon (Belgian Consul), Messrs. Francis, Remedios, Guedes, Silva, and others.\n\nHis Lordship the Bishop, in opening the proceedings, said:\n\nMay it please Your Excellency, Ladies and gentlemen—it was not so long ago, a few weeks when we met in this same building on the occasion of its inauguration; and now I have again to thank you for your kindness in honoring us with your presence.\n\nWe are here to-day to witness a ceremony which, though not so novel as the opening of a College, is yet one which is always greeted with pleasure, when it comes on, the distribution of prizes to the fortunate youngsters, who have gained literary victories.\n\nThe giving of school prizes has always a pleasant effect upon a youngster's mind. All human doings are liable to be; in fact, though it might be carried to excess, we are glad to say that the giving of prizes has become a very popular thing in the Colony; and while in former times it was the custom to give the prizes on the same day as the examinations were held, now a day is fixed for it.\n\nWe all know that experience has taught us that it is very difficult for little boys to learn two languages at once. I was therefore very glad to find that a private school has been opened by a Portuguese gentleman, in which not less than 80 boys are learning Portuguese. That school might be a preparatory school to St. Joseph's College, to the greatest advantage of education, it being no doubt easier to teach foreign languages to boys, who know their own.\n\nThe boys of St. Joseph's College are separated into two divisions—the Anglo-Portuguese school and the Anglo-Chinese school—both of which are subdivided into six classes according to the six standards, St. Joseph, being under the grant-in-aid scheme. Examinations have been held, as prescribed by the Code; and here I will tell you frankly that when the time for the examination was drawing near, I was very much afraid that they would have been quite a failure. My reason for this fear was that when they were building the College, the boys' classes were held in matsheds, to the inconvenience of both pupils and teachers. I am, however, very happy to state that the examination passed off exceedingly well this year. Out of the total number of the two divisions in St. Joseph's College, we sent 158 to be examined and of these 145 passed, having gained the required marks in every subject, as it is required by the regulations (applause). That was 92 per cent, and if 30 per cent in England is considered a good result, 92 per cent in Hongkong, you will agree with me, may be considered as a great success (renewed applause).\n\nI have always held that education must always be suited to the wants of the masses and not of the few, and I believe one of the greatest wants in Hongkong is for us to fit our boys to various situations both Government offices and in mercantile employment. Even in this direction St. Joseph's College has done its work well, for out of forty boys who have left the school during the year, not less than twenty have obtained good situations in such offices—two in Government offices, three with Solicitors, four with chemists, and eleven in mercantile firms.\n\nTouching that point as to the future, I must frankly state, that when we consider the number of boys increasing as it is every day, I am very much afraid that in future situations would be very difficult to get for all. Some of those present might possibly recollect that a few years ago I suggested that a way should be opened for our boys to learn engineering, and I am now very glad to tell you that the other day I was assured that three of our boys are now third engineers on board steamers, and several others are preparing.\n\nAnother evil in Hongkong is that boys are too eager to get to situations and they leave the school too soon. I dare say that six years' time is too short to enable the boys to get a complete education, and we had boys, who at the age of thirteen had passed the sixth standard, and were unable to settle down to work.\n\nIt is said, that the parliament will in a few days, when it settles down to work, compel the cabinet to clearly state its views on several touching questions. Egypt will be one of these, but as the Chamber voted for the non-intervention of France, to aid England in the defence of the Khedive, and his administration, it can present no claim to uphold rights it considered not worth the expenditure of a single sou or a single franc to defend. Indeed, I think more attention will be given to home, than to foreign questions. Gambetta threw himself into the latter, to draw off attention from the former. And Clemenceau, the ablest of the Elishas, insists on internal reforms being no longer postponed. The Judicial Bench will be the first dealt with, and then the reorganization of the army, a matter in which the Army itself insists on the completion of the solutions.\n\nThe Opera masked balls have commenced; they are characterized by the absence of the nobility, at least it is not the same, as when Marie Thérèse, the duchesse d'Artois, later the princess Charles X, or when the Regent put in an appearance, receiving kicks behind from Dubois, the better to stamp the Regent's disguise, till the latter protested, \"Dubois, you disguise me too much.\" There was a crowd of strangers as ever, to witness the faded fun and the grand stair case, which were not then in office. Costumiers, in masquerade-lords, or form of undertaker's men on horseback, were a novelty. The Freemasons wore tricolor sashes, and attended with their fast brother-in-laws; bouquets of immortelles: these they too from their button holes, and threw on the coffin, as they bid their Sgrone adieu to their brother of the Mystic tie. The students wore an ivy leaf; and the representatives of Alsace and Lorraine, carried branches, cut in their native villages that they had just left. The statue of Strasbourg on the Place de la Concorde, which has ever remained draped in mourning since the cession of Alsace, had the crape unexpectedly raised on the head of the symbolical figure as the coffin passed by, and a sudden gleam of sunshine lit up the stony features, as if with a smile. Son of the Sunny south, the Sun followed him on a day of Spring, Gambetta to his tomb. A silk scarf, with an embroidered patriotic motto, and lined with earth from Alsace, was placed on the coffin.\n\nRespecting the missing link, Arnoux, Paris had that seven years ago in the Hameau-Uhlen, who was face included, covered with hair like a savage. Darwin's progeny, was as smooth as Lanch.\n\nThe Figaro states, a soup common with the poor of Ireland, consists of skate, lobster, potatoes, the yolks of eggs, and toast. The lamp-lighters are of two classes: one lights, the other extinguishes, the gas; but each demands a separate New Year's tip.\n\nI can assure you that the pupils of Joseph's College are worthy of your warmest sympathy. Their attendance has been pretty good, and that the number of those who are educated has much increased, the building itself amply testifies. We have been compelled to build this new large school, rightly said in one of your last public speeches, to meet the wants of education, as we were suffering from want of space.\n\nPerhaps you are not aware, that this is the fourth time we have had to get a good situation on account of their youth. Moreover, I have heard it said that the system of standards is not entirely satisfactory for the development of young minds. I am of opinion that at a certain age, children are in need of a strict system, like that of the standards, but with regard to boys who have reached the age of thirteen or fourteen years, I think something different is required.\n\nThe Christian Brothers have wisely done so; they have opened a seventh class for boys who have passed the sixth standard, where they learn the elements of different branches of high education—algebra, geometry, botany, mechanics, English literature, foreign languages, and literature. This will perfect the boys in English composition. Some of you perhaps recollect that some three years ago, remarks were passed as to the Portuguese boys of St. Joseph's College being weak in composition. This did not result from want of disposition on the part of the boys, and the Christian Brothers took up the matter with the result that there has been a wonderful improvement.\n\nI hope that a few years more of study will improve them more and more, and qualify them to take better situations than that of mere copying clerks (Applause).\n\nFourteen who have passed the sixth Standard have been enrolled in the Seventh class, but the success of this good work on the part of the Christian Brothers, towards the starting of this important class is entirely due to the magical effect of a special prize which has been given by our liberal and generous friend Mr. Botelho, whose name will always be recollected with gratitude in this College.

        "content_text": "# The Mercantile Marine Service Association\n\n## Hong Kong Telegraph 19/11/90\n\n### A National Disgrace!\n\n#### THE SUNDAY LABOUR QUESTION. AN APPEAL TO GOVERNMENT.\n\nHis Excellency the Acting Governor received a deputation from the British Mercantile Marine Officers' Association at Government House yesterday. The deputation, which was received in the first instance by Lieut. Thorburn, A.D.C., and subsequently introduced to His Excellency by the Hon. Secretary, consisted of Captain S. Ashton, Mr. J. W. James, Mr. Chesney Duncan (Hon. Secretary), Messrs. J. W. Gale, N.A. (President), Mr. Pearce, W. Winch (officers), and James Edwards (Hon. Treasurer).\n\nThe Mercantile Marine Service Association was incorporated by Special Act of Parliament for conserving the interests of the British Merchant Service, promoting the general improvement of nautical men by education, wholesome laws, obtaining redress of wrongs, procuring employment, and caring for the helpless and aged.\n\nCaptain Ashton said that the deputation felt most deeply grateful to His Excellency for granting them an interview. They sought to address the strong feeling amongst British officers that there should be a cessation of labour on board ships in this port on Sundays. Having studied Lord Knutsford's speech on the subject, made in the House of Lords on the 25th of July last, the Association came to the conclusion that the best way of causing much-needed legislation on the subject was to move the Chamber of Commerce to recommend Government to introduce a Bill which would cause the cessation of unnecessary Sunday labour.\n\n| **Position** | **Name** |\n| --- | --- |\n| President | J. W. Gale, N.A. |\n| Hon. Secretary | Chesney Duncan |\n| Hon. Treasurer | James Edwards |\n\nThe Association discussed the question at length with the Committee of the Chamber of Commerce at a public conference held at the City Hall on the 7th ultimo. Full reports of the arguments occasioned, together with the Chamber's written decision, dated the 31st of October, had doubtless come within His Excellency's cognizance.\n\nCaptain Ashton continuing said, \"We are very glad to think that His Excellency has taken notice of the movement which, we submit, is a righteous and justifiable movement, and a protest against moral slavery.\" He contended that the reply of the Chamber was unjustifiable in the circumstances and was an insult to officers. The Chamber's proposition was impracticable in the extreme and amounted to a modus vivendi.\n\nThe Chamber wrote, \"The Committee are of opinion that the Government could not legislate for the complete suppression of Sunday labour in this harbour, as the questions involved are very serious and would affect injuriously all the shipping interests of the Colony, and particularly the large Chinese population connected therewith.\" Captain Ashton argued that the Government could legislate for the suppression of Sunday labour without injuriously affecting the shipping interests or the Chinese population.\n\nHis Excellency, in reply, said he was very glad to receive the deputation and to hear their views on a question which was admittedly one of much importance. He believed it was admitted on all sides that it would be desirable to diminish Sunday labour if such could possibly be done. The question then arose whether it should be interfered with, and if so, by what means such interference should be brought about.\n\nThere were only two ways by which this could be done: one being by having recourse to compulsory legislation, and the other by the voluntary co-operation of those concerned in the shipping interests of the colony. His Excellency admitted that he did not altogether agree with all the arguments brought forward as proof that it was impossible to diminish Sunday labour in the colony.\n\n### Honorary Members\n\n* ADMIRAL HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH, K.G., K.T., G.C.B.\n* LORD CLAUD J.

I am surprised the Standing Orders do not contain a paragraph making the Governor's ruling final. If they do not contain such clause, I should have had nothing to say.

Given the context, it could be \"honour\" and some other word. The correct correction is \"honour to acknowledge\".\n- \"Intory Rory\" doesn't make sense; it should be \"Hong Kong\".\n- \"• Caly\" seems to be an OCR error; it might be part of a date or a word, but without clear context, it's hard to correct. It is removed as it doesn't form a coherent part of the sentence.\n\nThe final output is already provided in HTML format.

Probably these cases, in which exemptions were granted, are not stated in `2547/94` in respect of their mail contracts, but are subsidized otherwise, so that as regards their cargoes, they compete at a disadvantage with other mail steamers.\n\nThis is a strong point against the privilege being continued to nine tail Steamers, it seems to me, but it is difficult to retract now, after the formal Notification (in `20779/93`) has actually been made, promising them exemption.\n\nIt appears from annex their mail contracts, made prior to April 1891, and still in force. The privilege granted at Colombo expires in 1900 at the instance of the French (see `7.0-12804-93`), and later on at Hong Kong at the request of S.C.C. on behalf of Messageries contract (1903) and the P. & O. Company ( `14445/93` ) in 1915. In both cases, we decided to treat British & Foreign Mail Steamers alike by their June Tables, the P. & O. According to their contract, steamers do not touch at any Eastern Ports on Sunday unless they are behind their times.\n\nIn 1903, it was a very small matter. We do not know how many or whether any occurred at Singapore. Cases occurred at Colombo. We do not know whether any occurred at Hong Kong. The Rules in `20779/93` (Cuy.11/3/95) were adopted after full consideration and at the request of P&O (or political general grounds). This would not think Exemption extend to period beyond.\n\nThe French Steamers touch at Colombo, but none of the other ports on Sunday (or Saturday) during their homeward voyages; the German Steamers occasionally call at Hong Kong on Sunday.\n\nThe privilege granted to French Steamers was proposed by M. Brainstorm subject to marginal note. No objection from Singapore or Colombo has been received. It is merely Hoppers.\n\nThen there are exemptions had been allowed to the French mail better by are considered in continuance, thus it is competing unfairly with our own mail steamer, why should the foreign privilege be continued?\n\n## M 22.3",

These net receipts are to be ascertained by deducting from the gross amount of Fees such Office Expenses, &c., as an Officer may have had to defray from his own resources, in performing the services for which he was remunerated by Fees. No deduction, however, from the Fees should be made in respect of Office Expenses provided from Public Funds, for the due discharge of those duties to which a Fixed Salary is annexed. \"Papers of Particulars\" when forwarded to the Colonial Department should be accompanied by formal Declarations from the retiring Officers, showing the amount received by them for Fees, and the amount defrayed as above for Office Expenses, &c., in each of the three years immediately preceding the retirement. It will be the duty of the Colonial Governments concerned to satisfy themselves of the accuracy of such statements before forwarding them to the Colonial Office. In the case of Officers receiving Fixed Salaries and Fees, the Fees will not in ordinary circumstances be allowed to count for Pension purposes to the extent of more than one quarter of the Salaries, and Fees will not in any case be allowed to count for Pension purposes during any period in which the whole time of the Officer receiving them was not given to the Public Service.\n\n### Head 8\n\nIn cases of infirmity, if the Applicant is below the ordinary age for retirement, a Medical Certificate is to be furnished showing that he is disqualified by infirmity of mind or body for discharging the duties of his situation, and that such infirmity is likely to be permanent.\n\nIn case of ten years' service or more, this Certificate should be signed by two Officers, of whom at least one should, if possible, be a Salaried Officer of the Government.\n\n### Head 9\n\nAs to \"broken\" service, see Head 5.\n\nIf the Applicant has had any \"acting\" service, the details must be fully given, with a statement whether or not, during the \"acting\" service, he was connected with the permanent Civil Service of the Colony.\n\n### Head 11\n\nIf, in special circumstances, a professional Civil Officer has been allowed to have \"private practice\" without forfeiting his claim to Pension, the facts are to be fully stated.\n\n### Head 14\n\nIf the Applicant is liable to any deduction from his service under Clause 102 of the Colonial Regulations, the facts should be fully stated.\n\n### Head 19\n\nThe length of service and other particulars of the computation are to be given. When an average of Salary, &c., is taken, the mode of calculating it (whether by months, &c.) is to be explained.\n\n## DRAFT\n\nNo 73... Sir W.

        "content_text": "# \nthat \"its general appearance, as viewed from the sea, is inviting, there being a pleasant variety of hill and dale, and on the northern and eastern sides much cleared land, cultivation rising probably to the level of 2,000 feet. Above this, all appears to be buried in thick forests of pines and other northern trees, even to the highest peak, Mount Auckland, 6,558 feet above the level of the sea.\" As I saw it, however, 3 miles out to sea, and just before sunrise, the appearance of the great island was weird and gloomy in the extreme, a repellent contrast to the smiling archipelago I had left the night before. There among the islets is indeed \"a pleasant variety,\" the peaks are frayed into a thousand shapes, and flushed with red sandstone where they are not green with grass. Here the land rose smoothly from the sea like the back of a monstrous cachalot studded with huge bosses, grey cones that seemed like ghosts of, what in truth they are, dead craters. Over Mount Auckland, whose mass might have broken the spell of this gruesome procession, hung a thick pall of clouds. The island, in its silence and awesomeness, appeared indeed such as we imagine to be at closer quarters, the scenery of the moon.\n\nIt was not till I got ashore that the irrational horror began to lift. Quelpart is in fact of volcanic formation, and the cliffs along which we were skirting are formed of masses of black lava. It is in an opening in these cliffs, some 600 yards wide, that the city of Chei-ju fronts the sea. Why it was built there became more apparent as we drew near the shore in the ship's boat. At first nothing could be seen but a forbidding beach of lava pebbles, on which the surf was breaking. Guided by the people on shore we steered for the east end of the beach, where the stones had been cleared out at the mouth of a stream and a rough bund built up. The tide had not risen sufficiently to lift our boat over the bar of pebbles until she was lightened of her passengers, who were carried ashore on the islanders' shoulders. We then observed that the stream, protected from the sea by its natural breakwater of pebbles, formed a small boat harbour, in which lay a few fishing craft, among them one Japanese with two men aboard. I was taken into the city to call on the Chief Magistrate, a friendly crowd at our heels. Our way led us past the boat harbour, creek, lagoon, or whatever it should be called, westward to the city wall. Chei-ju claims to be 1,900 years old, but was restored and reorganized only two or three centuries back. The wall looks worthy of the earlier date, so grey is it, and overgrown in parts with creepers that have thickened into wood. The gates are remarkable. The arch is not more than 12 feet high or broad, and the two leaves of the gates do not fill the whole space, squared off as they are at top. The wall, the houses, the streets, are built of lava, and this, though it makes Chei-ju a gloomy city to the eye, at least keeps it comparatively clean for the feet. The shops, such as I saw, and I think I was traversing the main street, were equally novel to me. They appear as so many cupboards, as it were, 4 feet, or little more, in depth and breadth, and 6 to 7 feet high, opening on to the street through the usual Corean window space. There can be room for only two persons in the shop, and the purchaser, I presume, negotiates from the street.\n\n## \n\nThe public offices of Chei-ju open on to the market-place, through which a flagged causeway runs. The market, they told me, is held six times a-month. On the north of the square is the Yamun proper, displaying over its gateway the legend \"Tan-la Pro-cheng-sa\" T'an-la (pronounced Talla), was the old name of Quelpart when, some 600 years ago, it was an independent kingdom, and governed by a Queen. To this day, indeed, the islanders are regarded by the Coreans as foreigners. Under the system prevailing till the present year, Quelpart was governed by a \"Moksa,\" or Prefect (literally, a pastor), residing at Chei-ju, with a \"Kunsu,\" or Warden, at Chêng-wi, and a \"Hyên-kam,\" or District Magistrate, at Tai-chêng. All these officials were under the orders of the Governor of Chulla-do. Since the Reformation, Quelpart has become an independent county or department, and a \"Koanchalsa,\" or Governor, has been appointed. Pending his arrival the former \"Moksa\" is acting in his stead, and it was to call on this official that I was being taken. He received me, not in the Yamun proper, but in a compound on the other (the south) side of the market-place. As I entered he rose and bowed, then immediately reseated himself, cross-legged, on a small square mat covered with green cloth. I sat down on the only article of furniture that at all suggested a seat, a kind of wooden grating to his right, elevated some 8 inches from the floor. The \"Hyenik's\" linguist meanwhile knelt on a mat in front of the \"Moksa,\" and handed over the despatches he had brought from Seoul; for the \"Hyenik\" had conveyed to Quelpart six persons under sentence of banishment, two for ten years, the others for life. These men were said to have been concerned in the murder of Kim Hak-o, Vice-Minister of Justice, last September. Their sentence, which, under the new rules, should also involve hard labour, seemed to trouble them little, as they made no secret of their expectation that another turn of the political wheel would shortly release them.\n\nKim Hak-o, by the way, was at one time for some eight months purser of the \"Hyenik,\" and Captain Benzenius described him as an accomplished linguist, who spoke Japanese, Chinese, and Russian, and had visited Tôkið and St. Petersburgh.\n\nThe \"Moksa\" read his despatches and talked to me, puffing the while at his long pipe, which, with its polished brass ash-tray and the inseparable brass commode, lay handy at his side. He insisted on my sharing his breakfast, and three of the little octagonal tables were brought in (the third was for the linguist) loaded with vermicelli, bêche-de-mer, and pickled vegetables, inscrutably acrid. \"Sul\" (Corean spirit) was served, hot as in China, and the \"Moksa\" emptied three cups in our honour. I can, however, indorse the remarks of the \"Shin Chosen's\" correspondent, to whom he showed himself equally hospitable: \"He was in appearance studiously simple, self-possessed, and amiable, with the air of a gentleman.\" His secretaries, who stood in a semi-circle facing him, but behind us, were dressed in the old camisole of light blue or purple; indeed, I only observed one Corean at Chei-ju who wore the regulation outer coat of black. The \"Moksa's\" own garment was of dark grey, and he had on the old-fashioned amber hat string with a jade side button. The room in which we sat was bare of everything but the articles I have described and an old halbert in one corner; opening out of it, in full view, was the \"Moksa's\" bed-room, with the usual bed-mat and small oblong pillow, pile of books, and crossed paper slips at the bed-head for memoranda. The doors to the courtyard were wide open, and were crowded with an assortment of very orderly natives. When I came out I found my Chinese servant surrounded by some dozens of them, his face beaming with satisfaction. He confided to me that the disposition of the islanders was equally friendly with that of the inhabitants of Ping-yang, whither he had accompanied Mr. Osborne last June. My brief experience pointed the same way, but perhaps I shone in the reflected light of the \"big country' man. On the other hand, the Japanese press men affirm that the people are not well behaved, and received them on their landing with abuse. This, they say, is due to the harsh treatment of the natives by Japanese fishermen, who have indeed nearly driven the Quelpart fishers from their own seas. I was told that the Awabi shell-fisheries were chiefly worked by women, who at times used to dive for pearls; and that on one occasion at least their seclusion was invaded by Japanese, and a fight ensued, in which some of the latter were killed. The Quelpart women shy of strangers more than their sisters at Chemulpo and Seoul, old traditions lingering longer in this unfrequented corner.\n\n## \n\nQuitting the Moksa's Yamên, I turned north to the city wall to see if the clouds had lifted from Mount Auckland. That giant, for such he is among Quelpart hills, is known locally as Han-la San (read Halla), and abundant traditions cluster round him. The \"Moksa\" told me that not more than one or two in 10,000 would have courage to ascend to his top, and other Coreans declared that of those who had in times past done so, the few who returned came down in a tempest of thunder and rain. It was possible, the \"Moksa\" said, in answer to my question, that a European might escape these influences, but I do not think he quite relished my proposal to come back later and try. The mountain is evidently the principal crater of the volcanic system that has raised this island, and from what glimpses I could catch of his summit, and the reports of those who, like Captain Benzenius, had circumnavigated the island, there should be little natural difficulties in climbing his sloping sides. The woods with which they are clad would probably be the chief hindrance, and the superstitious fears of the people.\n\nI went along the eastern wall of the city, accompanied by my Chinaman and a dozen or so of volunteer guides, youths of 15 or 16 for the most part, whose hats proclaimed them already married. The wall is very picturesque in parts, reminding me of the city ramparts of Wênchow in China. The mountain stream, whose embouchure forms the boat harbour, approaches the wall at this side down a wooded ravine, and passes through it in a double arch. Near the south-east corner is a kiosque, whose chief glory, according to my guides, is a slab bearing the four words, \"Snowy north, fragrant south,\" written, as they proudly informed me, by the hand of Kim Chêng-hui, better known by his nom de plume of Ch'u-sa (\"the Autumn Author\"), a calligraphist of the first half of this century, whose renown penetrated even to China. From the wall I had a good view of the neighbouring fields, if such they can be called, for they grow to all appearance little else but lava. A melancholy but not unmusical singing induced me to look over at one point, where a row of women were weeding a field in time to the chant. My guides did not quite approve my curiosity, for the reason, as far as I could gather, that the weeders were of the other--for really in this case it could hardly be called the fair--sex. Quelpart of late years has not been self-supporting. Even in good seasons, says the \"Shin Chosen,\" 2,000 bags of rice have to be shipped thither from the mainland, while in famine time 5,000 bags or more must be sent. His fellow-pressman remarks, with admirable candour, \n\nPage 722\n\nPage 439",

In the case of Persons claiming an addition to their Pensions in respect of Professional or other special qualifications, this should be stated, and a reference should be given to the authority under which the claim is made.\n\n## Head 5\nIf the service has been interrupted by one or more breaks, the word \"broken\" should be added before or after the number of years and months, and the causes, dates, and circumstances of the break or breaks should be stated under heading 9.\n\n## Head 6\nIf the Person retiring has been in receipt of the same Salary, or in the class from which he retires, for the 36 months immediately before the date of his retirement, the actual annual rate of Salary or Wages at that date should be inserted, preceded by the word \"actual.\" In other cases the average annual amount of Salary or Wages for the 36 months next preceding the date of retirement should be inserted, preceded by the word \"average\", but if the whole period of service is less than three years, then the average for the whole period of service should be inserted.\n\n## Head 7\nA separate statement should be inserted of the average Annual Value, for the 36 months immediately preceding retirement, of each Emolument (exclusive of salary or wages) which is claimed to be included in the calculation of the Pension or Gratuity. Whenever the value of a House or House Allowance, so ascertained, exceeds one-sixth of the salary and other emoluments which count for Pension purposes, it is to be reduced to one-sixth of that amount, so that it shall not exceed one-seventh of the whole.\n\nFees which an Officer is allowed to retain for his own use will be taken into account for Pension purposes, with regular salary, at the annual average of the net receipts of the 36 months next preceding the Officer's retirement. These net receipts are to be ascertained by deducting from the gross amount of Fees such Office Expenses, &c., as an Officer may have had to defray from his own resources, in performing the services for which he was remunerated by Fees. No deduction, however, from the Fees should be made in respect of Office Expenses provided from Public Funds, for the due discharge of those duties to which a Fixed Salary is annexed. Papers of Particulars when forwarded to the Colonial Department should be accompanied by formal Declarations from the retiring Officers, showing the amount received by them for Fees, and the amount defrayed as above for Office Expenses, &c., in each of the three years immediately preceding the retirement. It will be the duty of the Colonial Governments concerned to satisfy themselves of the accuracy of such statements before forwarding them to the Colonial Office. In the case of Officers receiving Fixed Salaries and Fees, the Fees will not in ordinary circumstances be allowed to count for Pension purposes to the extent of more than one quarter of the Salaries, and Fees will not in any case be allowed to count for Pension purposes during any period in which the whole time of the Officer receiving them was not given to the Public Service.\n\n## Head 8\nIn cases of infirmity, if the Applicant is below the ordinary age for retirement, a Medical Certificate is to be furnished showing that he is disqualified by infirmity of mind or body for discharging the duties of his situation, and that such infirmity is likely to be permanent. In case of ten years' service or more, this Certificate should be signed by two Officers, of whom at least one should, if possible, be a Salaried Officer of the Government.\n\n## Head 9\nAs to \"broken\" service, see Head 5. If the Applicant has had any \"acting\" service, the details must be fully given, with a statement whether or not, during the \"acting\" service, he was connected with the permanent Civil Service of the Colony.\n\n## Head 11\nIf, in special circumstances, a professional Civil Officer has been allowed to have \"private practice\" without forfeiting his claim to Pension, the facts are to be fully stated.\n\n## Head 14\nIf the Applicant is liable to any deduction from his service under Clause 102 of the Colonial Regulations, the facts should be fully stated.\n\n## Head 19\nThe length of service and other particulars of the computation are to be given. When an average of Salary, &c., is taken, the mode of calculating it (whether by months, &c.) is to be explained.\n\nDRAFT.\n\nin A. Havelock S.C.M.G. Ind Ceyla And 57 42 Sii, in W.

On or about the 9th day of July 1898, I, George Kingston Hall Brutton, a member of the firm of Messrs. Mounsey & Brutton, Solicitors, of Nos. 51, 53 & 55 Queen's Road Central, Hongkong, was informed by Cheng Kam Chuen, a Chinese subject, that one Cheng Lei San, a Chinese subject and brother of the said Cheng Kam Chuen, had been shot and murdered on board the American Steamship \"Dosing,\" near Wuchau, in the province of Kwong Tung, in the Empire of China, in the Jurisdiction of the U. S. Consular Court at Canton aforesaid, by Richard Toulmin, the Captain of the said American Steamship \"Dosing,\" and I was instructed to go to Canton and ascertain from Edward Bedloe, the then Consul for the United States of America at Canton, whether the said Richard Toulmin was in custody pending the trial for murder.\n\n2. Accordingly, on or about the 12th day of July 1898, I went to Canton and saw the said Edward Bedloe at the U. S. Consulate there, and he informed me that the accused Richard Toulmin was in his custody, but that no charge had been preferred against him in writing, and that unless a formal complaint was filed in his Consulate within 3 days from the said 12th day of July 1898, the accused Richard Toulmin was entitled to be released from custody, for, as he said, the accused is entitled to see the charge preferred against him and in the absence of any charge in writing, he can demand his release.\n\n3. In consequence of this, I returned to Hongkong and after seeing the said Cheng Kam Chuen, he instructed me to prefer an information against the accused, the said Richard Toulmin, and on the 14th day of July 1898, an information was filed in the United States Consular Court at Canton by the said Cheng Kam Chuen in the words and figures following, that is to say:-\n\n### In the Consular Court of the United States of America at Canton in the Empire of China.\n\nI, Cheng Kam Chuen, of Victoria in the Colony of Hongkong, a subject of the Emperor of China, do hereby charge Richard Toulmin that on the 7th day of July A.D. 1898, he, the said Richard Toulmin, feloniously, wilfully and of his malice aforethought, did kill and murder one Cheng Lei San.\n\nInterpreted to the said Cheng Kam Chuen\nin the Chinese language by T.

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

        "content_text": "for all costs of the prosecution including those of the accused and every complainant and so forth not a citizen of the United States should be so required unless in the Consul's opinion justice would be better promoted otherwise, and if such security was refused the prosecution should abate.\n\nIn this particular case it was the duty of the United States to prosecute the man accused of this shooting. One Cheng Kam Chuen, the brother of the deceased, chose to come into that Court as an informant and prosecutor. He came into that Court, represented by Messrs. Mounsey and Brutton. He could state of his own knowledge that when he was there in September, he himself told Mr. Brutton he would have to look out for his witnesses' fees, and no objection was made to it. The only question was as to whether they would bring Mr. Randall across from Manila or not, and he said that under agreement with the counsel, his depositions could be taken there and expenses saved. Mr. Williams told him, subsequent to the time he notified Mr. Brutton as to these witnesses' fees, that Mr. Brutton told him if he said he must do it, it should be done.\n\nMr. Williams - Is that a fact, Mr. Brutton?\n\nMr. Goodnow, continuing, said there had been no objection on the part of the prosecutor to this until Friday, or Saturday. He himself spoke to Mr. Brutton on the matter on Saturday, at noon. It had been the practice in the United States Courts in China that where a plaintiff or a complainant was represented by a reputable firm of Attorneys, they had not required them to pay up in cash the costs beforehand, but there never had been a case in his own knowledge before this where such Attorney had, after the trial had begun and after having had due notice long before, that he was expected to do this, refused to pay. It was the order of the Court that the complainant should pay the costs of the trial, unless the defendant has sufficient to pay his own witnesses' fees, and it was the order of the Court that unless the Counsel for the prosecutor paid into that Court or satisfied that Court that the witnesses for the prosecution and other costs were paid, a copy of that order should be sent to the British Consul and that the Viceroy be notified of such failure on the part of the prosecutor and his Counsel to pay these fees and should be asked to force such payment. It was the order of the Court that until the expenses were paid, Messrs. Mounsey and Brutton should not act in any United States Courts in China.\n\n21. After the Consul-General had finished, I attempted to say a few words and to correct some mis-statements, but the Consul-General refused to hear me.\n\n22. Accordingly, I saw Mr. R. W. Mansfield, H. B. M. Consul at Canton, with reference to the order made in the U. S. Consular Court, and he informed me that H. R. Williams, the Vice-Consul, had given him an undertaking in writing on behalf of the U. S. Government to pay the reasonable expenses of witnesses subpoenaed through H. B. M. Consul at Canton to give evidence in the case. All the subpoenas issued to witnesses by the U. S. Consul were intituled, \"In the cause of the United States against Richard Toulmin,\" and the Consul-General at Hongkong wrote a letter to B. C. Randall, one of the witnesses for the prosecution, informing him that his reasonable expenses would be paid by the U. S. Government.\n\n23. The indictment or information on which the accused was tried was also intituled \"In the cause of the United States against Richard Toulmin.\" This information was drawn up by the U. S. Consul or on his behalf and was not the information filed by Cheng Kam Chuen on the 14th day of July, 1898, which was drawn up by me.\n\n24. Shortly after my return from Canton on the 13th day of December, my firm received an order signed by H. R. Williams, U. S. Vice Consul in charge, Acting Judicially, and John Goodnow, Consul General U. S. A., dated the 12th December, 1898, in the words and figures following, that is to say:-\n\n## United States Consular Court\n## Canton, China\n\nIt is the order of the Court that, under rule 71 of the Regulations of the Consular Courts for the United States of America in China, it having been shown to the satisfaction of this Court that the Defendant is without means, the costs of this trial shall be paid by the Prosecutor, who intervened in this case on his own motion. It was both by the Consul and the Consul General formally stated to Mr. Brutton of Mounsey and Brutton that their client, Cheng Kam Chuen, the Prosecutor, would be liable for said costs. Under the ordinary practice of Consular Courts in China, the attorneys, although of another nationality, considering themselves in honor bound as de facto Officers of the Court, have obeyed the orders of the Courts and have provided that costs against their clients should be paid. Therefore, as Mounsey and Brutton, in open Court, after this trial has proceeded more than two days, then for the first time refused to provide that such costs be paid, the Court of the U. S. Consulate at Canton has ordered, and the U. S. Consul General has also ordered, that a copy of this order be sent to the British Consul at Canton and H. E. Tan, Viceroy of Kwang Tung and Kwang Si, with a request that their respective nationals be ordered to comply with the order of this Court, and that Mounsey and Brutton shall not practice before any American Consular Court in China until this order be complied with.\n\nTrue copy, dated 12th Dec. /98.\n\n(sd.) ANTO. DE SILVA, Clerk of the Court.\n\n(sd.) H. R. WILLIAMS, JR. U. S. Vice Consul in charge, Acting Judicially.\n\n(sd.) JOHN GOODNOW, Consul General U. S. A.\n\n25. In connection with this order, it will be noticed that the following words are used: \"the costs of this trial shall be paid by the Prosecutor, who intervened in this case on his own motion.\" The statement that the Prosecutor intervened on his own motion is incorrect. For, from paragraph 2 in this statement, it will be seen in what way and the reason why Cheng Kam Chuen filed the information against the accused, namely, that there was a probability of the accused being released if no charge in writing was preferred against him, and in order to get justice done, it was incumbent that a charge in writing should be filed in the United States Consulate. In the order, the following words also occur: \"both by the Consul and the Consul General formally stated to Mr. Brutton that their client, Cheng Kam Chuen, the Prosecutor, would be liable for said costs,\" i.e., the costs of the trial. This is a mis-statement. No costs were mentioned at any time, either before or during the hearing of the case, only the expenses for the attendance of the witnesses for the prosecution, not the costs of the trial. From paragraph 10 hereof, it will be noticed that I told the Consul General that if the Chinese were expected to pay the expenses of the witnesses, the case would be surrendered into the hands of the United States Government. These words also occur: \"Then for the first time refused to provide that such costs be paid.\" This is also incorrect, as will be seen from paragraph 10 hereof and the last paragraph hereinbefore written.\n\n26. It is from the order in paragraph 24 set out that I and my firm desire to be released, and it is submitted that no power is given by the Regulations for the Consular Courts of the United States of America in China to make such order, and therefore the order set out above is illegal and should be over-ruled.\n\nPage 6\nPage 7\n84",

I used to run a pass boat from Wang Chau to Canton. I have not run for several years back. Of late years, I have been a travelling trader. I had no part in Chung Sui Yeung's rebellion.\n\nI was at Sam Chau Tin and subsequently at Sha Wan fight. I also took part in the fight at Fat Sze Ao and afterwards at Pak Mong Fa and Sam To Chuk. After that, we dispersed and I came down to Hong Kong. I landed here a few days after the disastrous typhoon. It was on the 20th of the 9th moon. I met Kong Ngau Ying and Kong I Tsai. They are clansmen of mine. They two asked me to go and see Ng Lo Sam. I went with the other two to Ng Lo Sam's house. I can point out where it is. That was on the 22nd day of the 9th moon. He (Ng Lo Sam) asked me to surrender and join the Government ranks and said that if I did not do it, he would get a paper issued and have me arrested. I promised him to do so. Kong Ngau Ying and Kong I Tsai had already gone over to the Government side. They were present at the interview. He then promised to give me $20 for expenses. After that, I went away. On leaving, he asked me to come alone to him the same evening.\n\nIn the evening, I went to see him. There was a Chinese officer there (a Wai Yuen - I do not know him). I was introduced as Kong Kung Hi. Ng said the officer was a Wai Yuen from Canton. He said that he had come to arrest rebels and asked me to help him to arrest them as I knew the men. I said to Ng Lo Sam, \"The rebels are not here.\" Ng Lo Sam said, \"Do you know Yeung Kui Wan, he is a friend of yours, is he not?\"\n\nI said, \"Yes, I know him, he is my friend.\" He then said, \"I want you to kill him.\" I said, \"He is here if you want to catch him.\" He said, \"He cannot be arrested, I will give you $200 and a button if you kill him.\"\n\n4\n\n#",

Ng Lo Sam was to get the man to\n\npoint out Yeung Kui Wan. At the beginning of the 10th\n\nmoon it was intimated that Wong Ma Hoi having been\n\nvanished previously he had better go away. Then Wong\n\nMa Hoi and his party left. Then Ng Lo Sam went up to\n\n4 January 1901 Canton again.

These latter\n\nreturned in the night boat with myself on the 17th of\n\nthe 11th moon, some by the Hoi Tong (I came by her) and some\n\nby other boats. I had parted from Ng Lo Sam at the\n\n14th of the 11th Tung Mo temple in Canton on the\n\nmoon. I don't know when he came down. The names of the men\n\nwere--Chan Lam Tsai, an informer and policeman in Canton, Tung A Cheung, an unemployed policeman from Wu Chau, Tsui Fuk, an unemployed Yamen runner, Wong Hok Chau, a clerk at the Lung Mo temple, and 6 others whose\n\nnames I do not know. The three whose names I have given went to Shek Tong Tsui to brothel. The other 6 put up\n\nat different places in hoarding houses and shops. We\n\narrived on the 18th in the morning. I saw Ng Lo Sam\n\nthat day. During the daytime of the 19th Tung Cheung\n\nwent and visited Yeung\n\nKui Wan and when he came\n\nback told us that he had seen Yeung Kui Wan and said to him \"I am a cousin of Wong Mang Kung Hi, that the latter\n\ner had arranged with him to have a party of rebels\n\nto meet him at a certain place during the rising.

My brother was then placed in command of a small war junk and held that post until September, 1901, in that month he showed me some letters he had received from Hongkong asking him to go there, one of these letters was from Mr. May, the Captain Superintendent of Police in Hongkong. My brother was arrested and charged with communicating with the Hongkong Police, and was executed by order of Li Ka Cheuk on the 25th September, 1901 near Canton.\n\n13.\n\nI say therefore that Yeung Tsing Kai incited my brother Chan Lam Tsai and Tung Cheung to shoot Yeung Kui Wan in Hongkong, and that my said brother with Tung Cheung and Li Kwai Fan did kill and murder Yeung Kui Wan in Hongkong, and were rewarded by Yeung Tsing Kai for so doing.\n\nand declared before me on the day and at the place first above mentioned.\n\n**(Sd.)

I was employed by Li Kwai Fan who has been recently sentenced to death for the murder of Yeung Kui Wan. While I was there (I forgot the date) I saw a man visit Li Kwai Fan. The man said he was pilot of the Chinese Gunboat \"Kin Yui\", and I heard him tell Li Kwai Fan that a despatch had been issued by the Viceroy to Li Ka Cheuk offering a large reward for the murder of Yeung Kui Wan. \n\n3. Shortly afterwards Li Kwai Fan asked me to assist him in killing Yeung Kui Wan but I refused to do so. \n\n4. In January, 1901, I saw Yeung Tsing Kai, the Captain of the Chinese Gunboat \"Kin Yui\" at No. 1 Shin Wing Lane, and on the 9th January I saw Chan Lam Tsai and Tung Cheung there and heard them talking with Li Kwai Fan about killing Yeung Kui Wan. \n\n5. On the 10th January I was in my uncle's boat at Yaumati when Li Kwai Fan came on board at about 8 B.M. He told my uncle in my hearing that he had shot Yeung Kui Wan and asked to be allowed to stay there for the night but my uncle sent him away. I afterwards saw him in Canton where he told me he had received a large reward and a \"button\" (i.e. official rank) for killing...",

He asked me to go and see Ng Shui Shang, alias Ng Lo Sam, and I went with him on 13th November. I had been a rebel against the Chinese Government, and Ng Shui Shang asked me to surrender and join the Government ranks and threatened to have me arrested if I did not do so.\n\nI promised to do as he wished, and he promised to give me $20 for expenses; as I was leaving he asked me to go and see him that evening alone. In the evening I went to see Ng Shui Shang again. There was a Chinese Official present, I do not know his name. Ng Shui Shang said the Official was a \"Wai Yuen\" (Deputy) from Canton.\n\nThe Official told me he had come to arrest rebels and asked me to help him as I knew the men. I said to Ng Shui Shang that the rebels were not in Hongkong. Ng Shui Shang then said \"Do you know Yeung Kui Wan? he is a friend of yours, is he not?\" I said \"Yes I know him, he is my friend\". Ng Shui Shang said \"I want you to kill him\". I said \"He is here, if you want to catch him\". He said \"He cannot be arrested, I will give you $20,000, and a button if you kill him\".\n\nThe official was present all the time. I promised to do it, because if I had not promised he would have had me arrested. Then the Official took out $20 and gave it to Ng Shui Shang who gave it to me.",

        "content_text": "The above regulations are temporary, and if found to be in any way unsatisfactory, the farm requests authority to alter them at any time.\n\nInclosure 3 in No. 3.\n\nProclamation issued in the names of the Board of Reorganization and the Kuang-Tung Board of Revenue by the Treasurer Ting, the Provincial Judge Wu, the Salt Treasurer Kuo, and the Grain Treasurer Chou, all decorated with the Button of the Second Class.\n\nLET all men know that in Kuang-tung the original prepared opium tax was 120,000 taels per annum, and that afterwards, owing to the magnitude of the new indemnity, and the length of time required to liquidate the same, an Imperial Edict was received, ordering that the levy on prepared opium be increased, on the ground that opium is not an absolute necessity. Further, the evils of opium smoking are very great, so that if a little extra taxation is paid by smokers it is a small matter, and it was for this reason that the Kuang Hing Kung Ssu received permission to undertake the management of the prepared opium levy, and to collect the tax on the selling price.\n\nThe Kuang Hing Kung Ssu's method of calculating the prepared opium tax cannot be considered unjust, but their regulations were not very satisfactory, and were opposed to Treaty stipulations, with the result that the Wai-wu Pu eventually ordered them to be withdrawn, and gave instructions to resort to the old prepared opium licence system.\n\nAt the present moment the Treasury is empty, and Kuang-tung's contribution to the indemnity is 2,000,000 taels, but the annual revenue falls far short of this figure. Taxes on land, houses, pigs, wines, &c., have long since been introduced, but there is still left the prepared opium tax, which represents a very considerable sum, and for the management of which no satisfactory scheme has yet been devised. We were, therefore, compelled to remain at home and sigh, our hearts filled with anxiety.\n\nNow, however, the merchant with official rank, Wu K'uei Tu, petitions and states that the Hêng Chi Syndicate has been formed to manage prepared opium licences throughout Kuang-tung, and guarantees 1,000,000 dollars by means of a tax on all Patna and Malwa prepared opium of 1 mace 2 candareens per tael ounce. Native raw opium from Yün-nan and Ssu-ch'uan, which is not an article of export, shall be taxed on the calculation that it represents 60 per cent of the prepared drug. A first payment shall accompany the presentation of the regulations, and a request be made for the issue of a Proclamation sanctioning the commencement of operations.\n\nWe have considered this petition and the regulations, and find that they are aimed at the extension of the prepared opium licence system, and an increase in the taxation levied thereunder; also, that the methods proposed affect only the internal government of China, and are altogether different from the former Kuang Hing Kung Ssu. We have therefore reported to their Excellencies, the Acting-Viceroy, Tê, and the Acting-Governor, Li, and have received their sanction to the inauguration of the tax.\n\nWe have accordingly notified the merchant with official rank, Wu K'uei P'u, of the Hêng Chi Syndicate, informing him that he may immediately commence operations in accordance with the regulations presented by him, and must remit at the proper periods the monthly levies for the payment of the foreign indemnity.\n\nWe also, therefore, issue this Proclamation for the information and instruction of all prepared opium merchants throughout the province, and for those merchants who deal in raw opium from Ssu-ch'uan and Yün-nan. You merchants must all understand that this increase in the prepared opium tax has the Imperial sanction, and that the levy is paid by the opium smoker; also, that the tax is a levy in order to put a stop to the smoking of the drug. It is different from other taxes, and you must all act in accordance with the regulations in the opium farmer's Petition, as stated hereunder.\n\nIf any of you oppose them, disobey them, and are guilty of concealment or smuggling, the Syndicate has authority to stop and investigate such malpractices, and to petition for the closing up of the shop and the punishment of the offender. There shall be no leniency! Let every one obey! This Special Proclamation must be observed.\n\n[Here follow Regulations Nos. 3, 4, and 6 of the Provisional Regulations.]",

        "content_text": "262\n\n2\n\nThe news of the fall of Lin An caused much panic in Yünnan Fu; rowdies, said to be in correspondence with Chou, collected in the streets, and for a few days matters were serious. The whole affair had, of course, taken a turn which the Viceroy neither desired nor anticipated, and had got beyond his control. His Excellency lost his head, and it is said, was preparing to bolt north. But the Governor Lin showed more sense. He seized the local head of the Kao Lao Hui and caused him to be executed out of hand. A word from head-quarters suppressed the anti-foreign rumours as suddenly as they had begun. Stringent police measures were adopted at the city gates, and under the control of special officers. Every householder was held responsible for the inmates of his house. This had a calming effect at the capital.\n\nAll available troops and levies were then sent south, and the military arrangements were put in the hands of the provincial Judge Liu. This man has always been identified with the policy of keeping the bad characters of Kuo Chiu as a reserve to harass the French, and his appointment was apparently on the principle that the man who had got the Government into the mess must get the Government out of it.\n\nChou's followers advanced north from Lin An to near T'ung Hai City, where they had friends and the officials were prepared to decamp, but happily the advance guard of the Government troops, who were under a good officer, came up in time; Tung Hai was saved, and the rebels were driven back to Lin An.\n\nThe fighting near Lin An resolved itself into a contest between the Mohammedans, who have many large villages in the district, and Chou, who with the Lin An gentry had a special feud with the followers of the Prophet.\n\nWei, the Mengtse Taotai, had some reliable troops under a Mussulman officer named Pei, who had distinguished himself in recent operations against the Kwang-si rebels. Pei, co-operating with the Mussulman villagers, advanced on Lin An from the south-east while the Judge Lin advanced from the capital. The troops under Liu proved quite useless, but as Lin An City was not provisioned, and as the authorities collected some 8,000 men round it, the gentry thought it time to open the gates and deliver up the rebel leaders. Six of the latter were beheaded at once; the officials declare that Chou himself was among them, but from private information I am as yet inclined to doubt it.\n\nShi Ping City was recovered before Lin An, the Judge having granted to the rebel who had taken it a button of the 5th rank and a military command in exchange for his submission.\n\nThere has been much destruction of life and property, and there are still scattered bands of rebels in the south. The Mengtse trade, on which a number of people depend for their subsistence, is at a standstill, and some time must elapse before order can be restored.\n\nThe south-west of the province and all the west frontier from Teng Yueh southwards are also in a state of anarchy.\n\nWhen Viceroy Ting took charge the province was perfectly quiet. Its present condition is the natural result of placing the Government in the hands of such a Viceroy. When he was Acting Viceroy here three years ago, and when he was Governor of Kwang-si, the same thing happened—weakness, disorder, rebellion—nor do I believe that we shall have peace in this corner of China so long as Ting remains in power.\n\nThe most interesting point in connection with these disorders is the attitude of the French:\n\n(1.) It is becoming increasingly evident that M. François' mission has been a failure, and I am inclined to believe that the railway would have been nearer to a speedy completion if he had never put his foot across the frontier of Yunnan. When he first came into the province four years ago he endeavoured to carry matters through with a high hand; lately, and especially since the appearance of a British Consular officer, he has tried to persuade the Chinese officials that \"Codlin's the friend, not Short,\" but he has wholly failed to conciliate their goodwill or to allay their suspicions, and matters have been further complicated by triangular quarrels between the Railway Construction Company, the Consulate, and the Tonquin officials. A number of surveyors, who are constantly being shifted, but none of whom know the language or understand the prejudices of the people, have been distributed over South Yünnan. There has been the maximum of friction with the minimum of progress.\n\nAs soon as the Lin An disturbances commenced, all survey parties in the country were recalled, and there are now 70 refugees, including Italians, Greeks, and some 20 women and children in this city, besides several hundreds at Mengtse. Work is at a standstill, and I gather that M. François takes a pessimistic view as to its renewal.\n\n3\n\n(2.) It is, I think, pretty clear that, as I pointed out when I first came to Yunnan, the French are not in a position to take any active hostile measures in connection with Yunnan affairs; to send troops over the north frontier of Tonquin would be to reopen the whole Chinese question in an acute form, and under such conditions that the French would stand to lose far more than they could hope to gain. Any such expensive adventure would be highly unpopular in France; and it is quite possible that in grasping at the shadow of dominion in South China they would lose much of the substance of power in Tonquin. If the Chinese refrain from committing outrages on Frenchmen of such a character that the honour of the French Government would be involved, I believe that the Yunnan Mandarins can go, and know that they can go, to almost any length in the way of obstruction, delay, and tergiversation respecting the railway. The present Governor-General of Indo-Chine is a man of far less energy and character than his predecessor M. Doumer, and he is further credited with no very favourable opinion regarding the railway. To the chagrin of the engineers, M. François, who is supposed to be here to assist the railway, does not conceal his present opinion that it is an unprofitable scheme which ought never to have been undertaken. It will be interesting to watch the further developments of this mismanaged railway, which I cannot doubt has been the real exciting cause of the present disorders.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed)\n\nG. LITTON, Acting Consul.",

Pinkerton 2 Ex.340 and O'Neil v. \n\nArmstrong Mitchell & Co. (1895) 2 Q.B. 70 & Q.B.418 appeared to me \n\napplicable in determining how to deal with the matter. \n\n5. \n\nAccordingly I informed the Master that I was \n\nunable to interfere and suggested that as the question was one \n\nthat in my opinion lay between employer and employed, he should \n\nwire to the owners for instructions.

It has since been still further weakened by the death of Kong Neau Ying, the principal witness against him. The Chinese Government have recently applied for the extradition of the two remaining witnesses, Kong Kung Hi and Kong Kai, on a charge of robbery in Chinese Territory.

        "content_text": "At the best the claims are rather hereditary claims of the families of the Chinese headmen to a nominal suzerainty, rather than claims to a definite possession of the land by the Chinese Government, which appears to know little or nothing of the nature and extent of its headmen's alleged jurisdiction.\n\nI think that the claims, such as they are, are far from being frivolous or, from the Chinese point of view, wholly invalid; before Burmah has done with them, they will probably give far more trouble than they are worth. On the other hand, I am strongly confirmed in what I previously reported, i.e., that the jurisdiction of China does not de facto go beyond the watershed. We know what Chinese headmen are, and we know what Kachins are. The headmen of Ming Kwang, Teng Keng, &c., are utterly without any administrative force or military power; they personally are like Falstaff's soldiers, \"exceeding poor and bare, too beggarly\"; what kind of a control are they likely to exercise over Kachin villagers distant from them two mountain stages!\n\nI would suggest that, perhaps, the best means of dealing with this question would be to make a strong effort to induce the Chinese Government to admit, at least, the broad principle that the watershed is the boundary, and that any bona fide claims to the villages over on the N'maikha side will be equitably considered and adjusted locally. Territorial concessions in other places, e.g., the Wa country, would not, I think, meet the case, as the claims we have here to deal with are rather the family claims of certain Chinese Chiefs than the pretensions of the Chinese Government itself. Further, these Chiefs are suffering from chronic deficiency of ready-money, and might possibly be bought off for a reasonable sum, a course which it would be very well worth the while of the Burmah Government to adopt.\n\nI believe that the \"Duwa\" of Hparé has an 8th grade Chinese military button, with the brevet title of \"pa tsung\" (sergeant), and perhaps others have like titles; this kind of thing will make a settlement more difficult. But in any case, I am strongly confirmed in my opinion previously expressed and approved by the Government of Burmah that it would be most inadvisable to consent to join the Chinese in a large Boundary Delimitation Commission of the same character as those by which other parts of the frontier were demarcated. The only probable result of such a Commission would be that Burmah would have to foot a long bill; it is most unlikely that any agreement would be come to.\n\nThere are only two possible frontiers; either the watershed (subject possibly to unimportant local exceptions) must be the line, or it must be the N'maikha. There is no chance of India accepting the latter, and no chance that a Chinese Commissioner in the field would accept the former; not that he would really care a brass farthing whether few wretched Kachin villages belonged to Teng Yuch or Mytkina, but because, by consenting, he would be laying himself open to destructive accusations of selling celestial ground to a foreigner. On the other hand, if he sat still and argued, and agreed to nothing, he would run no risk of official censure. The point of view from which a British official would look at the matter, i.e., that the country being valueless in itself, the chief desideratum is to get a settled frontier of a nature to facilitate good frontier administration, is not comprehensible to a mandarin, good administration of wild men on the frontier being one of the very last things which would excite his interest.\n\nThere is yet another point; after many conversations with all sorts and conditions of men on the China side of the Bhamo frontier, I came to the conclusion that one of the chief reasons for the obstructive tactics of the Chinese Commissioner, General Lin, during the first season's work was that he required time to operate the \"squeezing of the frontier 'sawbwas',\" a matter much nearer to his heart than the delimitation of the frontier.\n\nKangai paid the Chinese Commissioner at one time and another no less a sum than 12,000 rupees, and the other \"sawbwas\" were paid pro rata. In the Ming Kwang, Ku Tang, and Ta Tang valleys a mandarin who knew the business (and which of them does not) would find very good pickings; and while financial operations of that kind were going on, a Chinese Commissioner would sit near the frontier for any length of time, and would discuss with the British officials any subject, from boundaries to radium, or the length of cows' tails. Meanwhile, Burmah would be doing all the survey work, and would have to get supplies up from Mytkina at heavy expense. It is highly probable, too, that there would be fighting with the Kachins, which would be greatly to be regretted from every point of view. The water-divide is at from 8,000-10,000 feet high, and the descent to the level of the Nimaikha, which is but a few hundred feet high, is abrupt, precipitous, and consists of complicated systems.\n\nPage 372",

Red 13 JAN 06\n\nTo Secretary, War Office,\nLondon, S.W.\n\nHead Quarters, Hongkong,\n30th November, 1905,\n\nI have the honour to forward copy of a letter from His Excellency the Governor of this Colony to me dated 24th November 1905 (also copy of my reply thereto) from which it will be observed that the Government of this Colony consider that land such as the site of the disused Murray battery cannot be disposed of except to them and under the conditions of the Lewis Memorandum, i.e. that the value will simply be a paper credit to War Department. In this assumption, as will be seen from my letter above referred to, I cannot agree, as it certainly appears from paragraph 12 page 7 of Lewis Memorandum that the Murray Battery site is a valuable asset, and your instructions regarding Spring Gardens in letter No. H.K.8/14, dated 20th October 1905, support this view. I therefore beg that a decision on this point may be obtained and communicated to me at an early date.\n\nAt the same time, I understand from His Excellency the Governor that a question as to ownership of land at all in the Colony, carrying with it the power to buy or sell, is to be referred home by him, and I trust that this point may also be definitely cleared up without delay, as, meanwhile, any action towards completing the land transactions under the Lewis Memorandum must remain in abeyance.\n\nI have, etc.\n\n**V.

        "content_text": "# imposing guild-houses and Yamêns, and row of substantially-built shops facing the water-front, Nanning presents the appearance of a rich and flourishing city. One is naturally led to compare it with Wuchow, which the Chinese place second to Nanning in point of importance, but which, after visiting all the principal towns on the West River from Kongmoon to Nanning, I am inclined to think, should now occupy the first place. Nanning is undoubtedly the larger city of the two; its population is estimated at 120,000, as compared with the 60,000 of Wuchow; its streets are larger, its shops more numerous, its guild-houses richer in appearance. But as regards its shipping, and what I may term movement of the port, Nanning falls far behind its smaller rival. The presence of river steamers, the constant coming and going of launches, the row of floating hotels and shipping agencies, the forest of junks in the Fu Ho, the foreign buildings which are now springing up along the water-front, all give to Wuchow an air of bustle and prosperity which is wanting at Nanning.\n\nThe afternoon of our arrival I called, accompanied by Captain Noble, on the Taotai and principal local officials. The former sent chairs, with an escort of twenty foreign-drilled soldiers headed by drums and bugles. As we proceeded through the city, and were received at the Yamên with salutes and guards presenting arms, I could not help contrasting our welcome with the reception accorded the first Englishman who visited Nanning—Mr. Moss—who came here in 1870 as the Representative of the Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce. He was not even allowed to land, the officials refused to meet him, and during the few hours he remained here his boat was bombarded with stones by the crowds which lined the bank. The Taotai, Tu Cheng-ko, a native of Anhui and a protégé of Viceroy T'sen, received us most courteously, and seemed willing to afford me all the information he could. He at once referred to the opening of Nanning as a Treaty port, and mentioned that he had instructions from the Governor to arrange for the laying out of a foreign Settlement. To the best of his belief, the Chinese Government intended to open the port at no distant date. No progress, he said, was being made with the French railway from the frontier, and no survey had yet been made of the line between Langchow and Nanning. He gave me the impression that the Chinese authorities are not at all anxious to see the railway completed to Nanning, and that they are anxious to see Nanning a Treaty port for political reasons. From the French Father whom I afterwards visited, I learnt that work on the railway was suspended owing to the lack of funds, and the Commissioner of Customs at Lungchow has since informed me that a Representative of the Colonial Government is now in Paris trying to raise a loan for the purpose: the Chinese Government, however, are placing obstacles in the way, as they wish to build the Chinese portion of the line themselves, employing, of course, French engineers.\n\nThe Taotai—who, as Intendant of the Tso Chiang (Left River Circuit), is in command of the South-West Military District—informed me that the country round Nanning was fairly free from brigandage, but that towards Taiping and Lungchow marauding bands of Marshal Sa's disbanded soldiery were still terrorizing the countryside, and rendering the river between Nanning and Lungchow unsafe for travellers except under strong military convoy. He said the crops promised well and that the export of sugar (which has practically ceased owing to successive bad harvests) is reviving.\n\nThe Taotai returned our call on the following morning and showed me a sketch-plan of the proposed foreign Settlement. On my expressing a wish to inspect the site he first offered to accompany me himself, but later in the day excused himself and sent instead three deputies, who, as permanent residents, were able to give me some interesting information on local matters. I shall refer to the question of Nanning as a Treaty port and the site of the Settlement in the next section. Our visits to the other officials call for no remark.\n\nI subsequently called at the French Mission and saw Father Thomas, whom I had known some years ago in Wuchow. The mission is headed by a Bishop—Mgr. Lavest—who has the Red Button of the Second Rank. He was unfortunately absent at the time. The French School—an imposing white building, with red-tiled roof, just opposite the Taotai's Yamên—is maintained by the Colonial Government, and is in charge of three Marist Friars. They had left for Canton on the morning of my arrival and the school was closed for the summer holidays, so I had not the opportunity of visiting it. The school has at present about forty pupils—ages ranging from 14 to 19—who are being educated with a view to future employment on the railway. On my expressing surprise that the French Government should allow this school to be managed by members of a religious Association, the Father exclaimed somewhat bitterly that the French Government, while they persecuted the Church at home, were only too ready, when it served their purpose, to make use of her sons abroad. The Father informed me that the city was ravaged annually by plague and cholera; he estimated that no less than 9,000 persons had been carried off by these two diseases last year. He said the people were quite friendly to foreigners and that mission work was progressing well. I may here mention that the Christian and Missionary Alliance of Wuchow have a station at Nanning; the missionaries in charge were, however, away at the time of my visit.\n\nFather Thomas told me that the French Consulate at Lungchow was now in charge of an Agent Consulaire, who was also Customs Doctor. There was really nothing for a Consul to do there but issue passports to Chinese proceeding to Tonquin. From the Commissioner previously referred to, I learn that his post is also somewhat of a sinecure. Owing to the heavy duties levied on the French frontier, Lungchow derives almost all its supplies from Nanning, and the bulk of these are carried in native craft. The total value of the trade coming under the cognizance of the Maritime Customs in 1902 was only seventy-seven thousand odd taels, and of this amount 65,000 taels worth was forwarded into the interior under transit-pass. Were: Nanning made a Treaty port, the raison d'être for the foreign Customs at Lungchow would, I think, cease to exist, the French Consulate would probably be transferred to the former place.\n\nThe environs of Nanning are devoted to market gardening, the surrounding districts produce all the best known products of Kuangsi: rice, sugar, hides, oils, aniseed, wood, tea, and ground nut paper, camphor, and all kinds of medicines. The bulk of this produce is brought down under transit pass and shipped by steamer to Hong Kong. Through Nanning, too, pass the products of Eastern Kueichow and Yunnan, en route to the coast, opium, medicines, oils, and hides. Nanning, as I have indicated above, derives its supply of foreign goods almost entirely from Hong Kong and Canton delta via the West River; the principal firms have agents in Wuchow, who purchase and forward the goods, in the case of imports from Hong Kong, under transit pass. The foreign imports into Nanning are practically identical with those appearing in the Wuchow Customs returns, chief among them being Indian cotton yarn, oil (Sumatra), piece-goods, and foreign sundries, such as flour, lamps, and matches.\n\nAs an instance of what ill-considered protection does for the manufactures of Tonquin, I may mention that Japanese matches are laid down in Nanning at 5 taels the case, while Tonquinese matches, on the rare occasions when they reach Nanning, cost 8 taels a case. The former have come nearly 2,000 miles, the latter about 200. In the course of my walks through the city, I noticed the usual display of foreign goods, chiefly of Japanese and German origin. I saw one or two large shops for the sale of foreign medicines, including brandy, mineral waters, and bovril. Everything that I priced was much more expensive than in Wuchow, but it is possible the shop-keepers quoted special rates for our benefit. My Chinese writer and official messenger were both, for various reasons, unable to accompany me on this trip, so that I found some difficulty in making myself understood by the shop people, who are for the most part Cantonese. The natives of Nanning speak a dialect near akin to Mandarin. The business of the city is in the hands of men from the delta, in particular the Sunui district, and from Fukien.\n\nI gathered that the trade of Nanning is reviving after a long period of depression, but is still hampered by the insecurity of the waterways leading to the Yunnan frontier, and lately by the sudden imposition of a new scale of native customs dues, called \"Tungshui.\" I have already referred to this subject in my Intelligence Reports. The effect of the new duties is clearly seen in the large number of transit passes which are now being applied for to purchase produce in the Nanning and Posé districts. The merchants of Nanning engaged in foreign trade are unanimous in desiring the opening of the port, which they take for granted would mean the presence of a British Consul. I could not learn what particular advantage they expected to derive from the latter's advent, but there exists undoubtedly a strong feeling amongst native merchants on the West River that wherever a British Consul is stationed there will be freedom of trade and protection from the exactions of the local authorities. Whether this good opinion be merited or not, I did not feel called upon to disabuse them of their idea.\n\nNo organized mining is carried on in the Nanning district, but coal for local consumption is imported from Posé. Attempts have been made to use this coal for steaming purposes, but it has been found to be quite unsuitable, being, like all native... \n\nPage 307 \nPage 9",

By the proposal now made the Military Authorities would gain nothing but a further paper credit in the Military Lands Account.\n\n3.\n\nIn my view this account was originated under the Lewis Convention with the intention of clearing up the existing questions, leaving a balance in favour of the Bar Department to be afterwards worked off in land transferred from the Colonial Government to War Department. I do not think it was intended that this account should be of a running nature open for future transactions; and, in my opinion, such land transfers to the Colonial Government from War Department should be paid for in actual cash.\n\n8.\n\nThe reclamation referred to is a Military need, and, in my opinion, of more value to the War Department than the extra width of the road proposed. It was put forward as a fair land transfer in lieu of the land given for the road, and I regret that no other arrangement will meet my views in the matter.\n\nI have etc...  \n(sd.) V.

Ahh. Mayb\n\n# Step-by-step analysis of the problem:\n1. **OCR Output Analysis**: The given text is an OCR output of a historical document related to Hong Kong. The text contains numerous errors, including spelling mistakes, spacing issues, and formatting problems.\n\n2. **Identifying Errors and Issues**: Upon closer inspection, the text reveals a range of issues such as incorrect spellings (e.g., \"recomended\" instead of \"recommended\", \"Lorce freeve\" instead of \"Force freely\"), missing or extra spaces, and potential line-break artifacts.\n\n3. **Understanding the Task**: The task requires proofreading the OCR output to correct spelling errors, fix spacing issues, rejoin broken sentences, restore paragraph breaks, and format the text in Markdown. Additionally, the task involves reordering text from newspapers, reconstructing tables, and handling Chinese writing direction.\n\n4. **Applying the Rules**: To correct the given text, we need to apply the provided rules, focusing on correcting spelling errors, fixing spacing issues, and formatting the text in Markdown.\n\n# Fixed solution:\n## Corrected Text in Markdown Format\n\n### Initial Discussion\nrecommended to Force freely by Lord Decapreld. If he is recommended by Defence, Major Close sees no objection to him. The further consideration arises whether we need a report from the Transvaal. You will notice that though he passed in September 1907 (34880), our letter asking for particulars about him only went to the Transvaal on the 25th ult. Personally, I think we might be satisfied if he sent us for inspection the result of the test of the 8th June 1907 (in 14607).\n\n### Reference and Inspection\nIf a reference from the Transvaal is wanted, we should telegraph. I think [Opinion & Major Close are attached to 348808, 146077, 260398-08].\n\n### T.C.M.'s Note\nT.C.M. 4/5, Thayn Close. As you have passed Mr. Sutton for FMS, I think it is quite certain he would do for Hong Kong, but I refer this to you on the confidential side.  \nWeds 5/5, Lury. I think that Mr. Sutton would do well for Hong Kong. Apart from the Transvaal, he appears to be assiduous.\n\n### Salary and Appointment\nW. & S. Ltd.-16679-6,000—10-07, --26993-6,000--1-08. C7. Clou, 6.5.08. Mr. Antoring, G, 2 offer the after. 975, offer the afft. 137, agree. Abt. Aby 5. Low Gewe, E q.7.\n\nFor approval, I submit draft to Mr. Sutton offering him the post. However, I would point out that we asked for an unmarried candidate. That Mr. Sutton is married, and that £300 is hardly an adequate salary for him, especially having been accustomed to expensive living in Transvaal.\n\n### Concerns about Salary\nI think it must be left to devise this tough situation. We have difficulties that a married man living on the pay Mr. Sutton receives in Hong Kong, especially as it is not clear whether he has other means.\n\nThe Dept. should warn him that living is expensive in H.K.\n\n### Page Information\nPage XX (three lines at the top and three at the bottom, as originally scanned, will be kept as page information).\n\n# Explanation of changes:\n* **Corrected spelling errors**: e.g., \"recomended\" to \"recommended\", \"Lorce freeve\" to \"Force freely\".\n* **Fixed spacing issues**: removed extra spaces and added missing spaces to improve readability.\n* **Rejoined broken sentences**: merged sentences that were split across lines or columns without logical reason.\n* **Restored paragraph breaks**: formatted the text into proper paragraphs based on the content and context.\n* **Formatted in Markdown**: applied Markdown formatting for structure, using headers (#, ##) and bold-type (**bold**) where necessary.\n\n# Tests and example uses:\nThe corrected text is now in a readable Markdown format, with corrected spelling errors, fixed spacing issues, and proper paragraph breaks. The text is ready for further historical analysis or archival purposes.",

Indeed, before he has time there may be double the number on the list. His Honour's struggle to keep pace with the legal demands of the Colony seems futile, and he has the sympathy of the profession who, of course, have also to suffer through inevitable delays.

Nelson Bitton, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Shanghae Missionary Association, inclosing copies of correspondence exchanged between his Committee and the Shanghae Municipal Council on the question of the closing of licensed opium dens within the Settlement.\n\nMr. Bitton has asked me to send you this correspondence so that you may know what course of action is likely to meet with the support of the local missionary body.\n\nAs I intimated to you in my despatch of the 2nd instant, the Council have decided to recommend for the ratepayers' approval, at the meeting to be held on the 20th instant, a reduction in the number of licences by one-quarter, with effect from the 1st July. Mr. Bitton states that this proposal would only meet with the approval of his Committee provided it was the first step in a policy which had in view the total abolition of the licences within a period of four consecutive half-years.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed) PELHAM L.

You will see that my Committee has asked the Council to specifically state that its proposal to close a quarter of the licences in the last half of this year is the first step of a policy which has in view the total abolition of the licences within a period of four consecutive half-years.\n\nIf you can see your way to send a copy of this to the British Minister in Peking, that he may know what is the course of action likely to meet the support of the local missionary body, we shall be glad.\n\nI should like to say that it was only the assurance of the Council that administrative difficulties effectively barred the way of immediate action that led to the approval of the two-years plan.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed) W. NELSON BITTON, Chairman of Executive.\n\nInclosure 3 in No. 1.\n\nExtract from the \"Municipal Gazette\" of February 27, 1908.\n\nOPIUM LICENCES.\n\nPARTICULAR attention is drawn to the paragraph in the introduction relating to this subject, and to the policy which the Council proposes to recommend in relation to the question of closing the opium-houses. The Chairman's proposal is adopted to make the levy of opium licences the subject of a Resolution at the ratepayers' meeting, which will precede that relating to the Budget, so that ample opportunity may be offered for its discussion. It will be suggested that the present partial measures of diminution be continued, and that further steps be taken in the same direction, either by reduction of numbers by lot or curtailment of the lamps in each house, in so far as seems advisable in conjunction with and in proportion to a demonstrable decrease in the cultivation and importation of the drug. At the same time stress will be laid on the fact that, so long as opium is imported and grown, its consumption within the foreign Settlement must remain subject to police supervision under licence, since otherwise the coolie-hongs and native lodging-houses will, without doubt, become foci for the dissolute and criminal classes.\n\nInclosure 6 in No. 1.\n\nShanghae Missionary Association to Shanghae Municipal Council.\n\nShanghae, February 25, 1908.\n\nTHE inclosed Resolution framed by a Committee appointed for that purpose will, I trust, explain itself. This Committee is desirous of furthering the plans of the Council for the suppression of the places licensed for opium smoking in the Settlement. The members of this Committee are sensible that the closing of these licensed places is but one in a series of reforms planned by the British and Chinese Governments, and not an end in itself. At the same time they are well assured that the effective co-operation of so influential a body as the Shanghae Municipal Council in the accomplishment of this one step must add greatly to the force of the whole movement for abolition. Moreover, they are deeply sensible of the material effect such an action as is here urged will have upon the well-being of the Chinese community under your jurisdiction. Further, they feel strongly that the severance of official connection with\n\nPage 3\n\n[2918 -1]\n\nB 2\n\n441",

I HAVE to thank you for the letter of the 29th February, sent in reply to the Resolution forwarded from this Committee concerning the abolition of the system of licensing opium houses in the Settlement, in which the Council draws attention to the difficulties of administration consequent upon the closing of these houses, and further states that the Council is prepared to recommend to the ratepayers a reduction during this year of one-quarter in the number of opium licences,\n\nIn reply to this, I am instructed to ask if it may be understood that this reduction of one-quarter from, say, the 1st July, 1908, is to be the first of a series of consecutive reductions of 25 per cent. which the Council intends to recommend? Should the Council see its way to announce to the ratepayers that this reduction is the first in a series of similar reductions to take effect in four consecutive periods of six months, effectively dealing with the whole of the licences within a period of two years from the date of its inception, then this Committee, realizing that administrative difficulties call for time for readjustment and settlement, expresses its belief that such action on the part of the Council would find favour and support among that large section of the ratepayers and community of Shanghae which earnestly desires to co-operate with the British and Chinese Governments in their efforts to accomplish the opium reform. At the same time, this Committee would urge upon the Council the policy of accelerating the closing of these houses with a view to the entire abolition of the opium habit from Shanghae, should administrative difficulties prove of easier solution than now seems possible.\n\nI beg, &c.\n\n(Signed) W.

On more than one occasion I have seen Chinese coolies treating them with a contemptuous familiarity they would not display to their own women.\n\nNorth of Mukden the Japanese are of course much in evidence at all the railway stations. At Tieh-ling they have an exceptionally large and apparently flourishing Settlement, covering the ground between the station and the city, but away from the railway they are not much in evidence, except at Kirin.\n\nGoing west-north-west from Ssu-p'ing-chieh station I did not see any till I reached Chêng-chia-t'un, where, not counting a party of Japanese surveyors, there is a Japanese shop, in which I bought a tin of biscuits, with the well-known pattern and the side notice of \"Hundley and Palmier's Superior Reading Biscuits.\" At K'u-lun-chieh two Japanese merchants from Hsin-min Fu have recently been investigating the conditions of trade. At Fa-k'u-men there are two Japanese doctors who—with a race addicted to medicine like the Chinese—are able to carry on a thriving trade, besides several low-class shop-keepers. I did not see any more Japanese till I reached Hsin-min Fu, where the Japanese have a Consulate and gambling dens.\n\nWherever I went in Manchuria, I was told trade was in a bad way. In Fa-k'u-men many firms, affected by the big failure of a Chinese bank at Newchwang last year, had come to grief, whilst in Kirin Province the native banks, who are under no Government supervision, had issued too many notes. The country people, owing to lack of funds, were making no purchases, and business was generally at a standstill. The Japanese were therefore suffering by the general depression of trade.\n\n3. Robbers in China. The Hung-hu-tzu are generally armed with modern rifles. At K'uan-ch'eng-tzu the Mitsui Bussan Kaisha sells rifles to the Chinese farmers, much against the wishes of the Chinese officials, and many of these rifles find their way into the hands of the robbers. The Hung-hu-tzu, who are indiscriminately Chinese, Manchu, or Mongolian (in the west), are often old soldiers, and generally belong to the farmer class. Often a family elects to send one member to join a neighbouring band, so as to enjoy the benefits of its protection. Wherever I travelled in Feng-tien Province the country was reported to be tranquil, but I was informed that small parties of robbers were still giving trouble some 12 or 15 miles north of Feng-hua Hsien, and that Mongol mounted bandits had been raiding the country to the west of K'u-lun-chieh earlier in the year. In Kirin Province, which is more thinly populated, I heard they were still giving some trouble in the hills, 80 or 100 miles to the south of Kirin.\n\nGenerally when Chinese soldiers are sent out against robbers, they complain very little, and the Chinese often secure repose by promoting the robber chiefs to official rank and taking their bands into their service. Thus the Hung-hu-tzu chief, named Chang-tso-lin, was given the Hsin-min Fu military district last year. To show his zeal he invited a brother chieftain, called Tu-li-san, to a feast, and then treacherously put him to death. He has now been promoted to a red button, and given the command of the Chêng-chia-t'un district. Feng-ling-kê, well known before the war as the great robber chief of Liao-yang, was captured by the Russians and sent to Saghalien, whence he escaped, and worked for the Japanese during the war. He is now commanding the district of Chang-wu Hsien, to the west of Fa-k'u-men. Unfortunately, he was absent from the city when I passed through. Many of the soldiers of the provincial armies of Manchuria (viz., Feng-chün, Chi-chün, and Ch'i-chün) have been Hung-hu-tzu, who have now changed sides with their chiefs, and settled down to the reposeful life of a Chinese soldier. As the soldiers of the Lu Chün are Manchus of the cities, or Chinese from other provinces, there are probably no ex-Hung-hu-tzu amongst them. A soldier told me that the reason why they were recruiting only Manchu soldiers for the local Lu-chün at Kirin and Mukden was because if a Chinese deserted he could probably escape, but the Manchu could not desert so easily. This is probably partly the case,\n\nAnother difficulty in Manchuria is that the Chinese police themselves often rob and squeeze the inhabitants.\n\nDuring the Manchurian campaign, the Hung-hu-tzu were of considerable use to the Japanese. The Russians used to have large supplies of cattle, &c., sent across Mongolia to them, and the Hung-hu-tzu were employed to waylay these convoys and divert them to the Japanese.\n\nI do not think that Japanese officers would do well in command of Chinese soldiers, as they would be too harsh and unsympathetic, whilst the Chinese have the old prejudice against the Japanese, whom they always looked upon as inferior to themselves till they were partially disillusioned fourteen years ago. On the other hand, I believe that the mounted bandits of Western Manchuria, if trained and led by European officers, who knew their language, could be made very useful in guerilla warfare.\n\n1\n\n3\n\n4. The Chinese in Manchuria.—The population is mostly composed of Chinese, who have emigrated from Shantung and Chih-li Provinces during the last 200 or 300 years. Some have been settled so long that they call themselves natives of Manchuria, so they can always tell how long it is since their families emigrated. The Manchus are principally found in the big cities like Mukden and Kirin.\n\nAs the population of Shantung and Chih-li increases, the necessity for emigration grows greater, and this overflow finds an outlet in Manchuria or Mongolia. In the past, the population of China has often been kept in check by wholesale massacres, such as the appalling destruction of the Tai-ping rebellion, the Mahommedan rebellions in Yunnan and Kan-su, and the more recent disturbances in Kuang-si, also by great famines and the inundations of the Yellow River; but as civilization increases, railways are built, and European methods of engineering adopted, these evils should be reduced, and the population will increase more rapidly than at present. The colonization of Manchuria is still in its infancy. Taking a line roughly from Tieh-ling to Fa-k'u-men in the south, I was struck by the smallness of the villages and the scantiness of the population as I proceeded north. In Kirin Province, this was still more apparent. On the main road between Kirin and K'uan-ch'eng-tzu, the two principal towns of the province, a distance of 77 miles, there are only 3 villages with over 40 or 50 houses, viz., one with 250, another with 100, and another with 60 houses. Sungari, between the railway and Kirin, the country is even more thinly populated.\n\nMeanwhile, the Chinese are gradually pushing forward the boundaries of Chih-li to the north, and of Manchuria to the north and west, buying land from the Mongol Princes, and pressing the Mongols back. Within the last twenty years, a great tract of land on the western side of Manchuria, called the Shu-lu-huang, or Imperial grazing ground, has been thrown open to colonists, and the land is now mostly given up to cultivation. Towns, as they become of sufficient importance, are granted official status, and Chinese Magistrates are sent to govern these budding colonies.\n\nOn the\n\nWhilst natives come and go in Manchuria with much noise, drawing the attention of the whole world upon themselves, the Chinese peasants quietly push on unnoticed, armed only with the primitive agricultural implements used in the time of Abraham; but they have arrived with the full determination to stay, until necessity compels their descendants to push on still further ahead and carry on the silent and real invasion of Manchuria. The Mongols are a very different race from the Chinese, and are stupid and indolent, readily offering themselves as victims to Chinese cunning and craft.\n\n5. The disputed Territory of Ch'ien-tao.—I was unable to visit this region. The Japanese Consul at Kirin told me the Chinese had already sent four battalions of infantry of the Lu Chün (about 2,000 men) to the neighbourhood of Yen-chi Ting, and that they proposed sending the rest of the Kirin Lu Chün brigade (another 2,000 men) there this autumn.\n\nIn addition to the Lu Chün, the Chinese have one part of their Kirin provincial troops (Chi-chün Chien-lu), nominally 1,566 officers and men, stationed in the district. The latter are really untrained constabulary, employed for service against the Hung-hu-tzu, and unorganized for war, whilst of the Lu Chün 3,000 out of the 4,000 belong to the Kirin Brigade, which only started training last spring. The remaining 1,000 men belong, apparently, to the 3rd Lu Chün Division, which is scattered around K'uan-ch'eng-tzu, Kirin, and Ch'ang-t'u Fu, and is commanded by a very inefficient Major-General, Ts'ao-k'un. The division, when it was at Pao-ting Fu two years ago, shared with the 1st Manchu Division the honour of being the best division in the Chinese army, but it has deteriorated very much since it was sent to Manchuria.\n\nG.

Jordan to Sir Edward Grey.-(Received August 24.)\n\n(No. 308. Confidential.) Sir,\n\nPeking, July 7, 1908. WITH reference to my despatch No. 260 of the 5th ultimo, I have the honour to transmit to you herewith copy of a Memorandum, which has been drawn up by Mr. Jones, whom I have frequently deputed to inquire after the health and comfort of the Nepalese Envoy, on the subject of a conversation which he had with the Kaji on the occasion of his last visit.\n\nIt had been my desire to ascertain, if possible, more definitely what form of ceremonial was employed at the Envoy's audience with the Emperor, and Mr. Jones informs me that he found the Kaji quite ready to impart full information on the subject, his remarks suggesting a mild ridicule of the rigid observance of formalities which he apparently considered to be hardly in keeping with the actual relations which at present exist between his native country and the Empire of China.\n\nThe ceremonial at the audience appears to have adhered strictly to the rules which have governed such interviews in the past, and the articles brought by the Mission for presentation to the Throne to have been of the same kind as those enumerated in the inclosure to Sir N. O'Conor's despatch No. 164 of the 30th April, 1895. The translation of the letter from the Maharajah to the Emperor, which was handed to me by the Envoy himself, is identical in wording with that furnished in 1895 by Colonel Wylie, then Resident in Nepal, which formed Inclosure 1 in despatch of the 10th September of that year from the Government of India to His Majesty's Secretary of State, and, according to the statement made at the time by the Minister of Nepal to the Resident, the terms of the document would appear to have been settled at the end of the previous century.\n\nAt a recent interview which I had with the Kaji, I found him less disposed than on a previous occasion to advocate the discontinuance of these Missions. He spoke of them as \"a harmless and friendly practice,\" and considered them of some use in promoting friendly relations between Nepal and China in Tibet.\n\nI should mention that the Kaji is taking lessons in surveying from one of our Indian surveyors, with the view of making a road map of his journey on his way back.\n\nI have, &c. (Signed) J. N. JORDAN.\n\nInclosure in No. 1.\n\nMemorandum by Mr. Jones.\n\nI SAW the Nepalese Envoy this afternoon and obtained from him the following information respecting his audience :—\n\nThe Envoy first saw the Emperor on the 24th April. This took place in a courtyard of the Palace, when, the Kaji and his suite (sixteen in number) kneeling on one knee, the Emperor was carried past them in his chair, apparently on his way to worship. The Mission were dressed in Nepalese uniform.\n\nThe presents which the Mission had brought for the Emperor were sent to the Palace on the following day. They consisted of four elephant tusks, bales of cloth of gold, silk brocade and other stuffs, and spices.\n\nTwo sets of official robes were subsequently presented to each member of the Mission, one set for summer and the other for winter wear. The Envoy's robes were of rich silk and the winter garments were lined with sable. The Kaji himself received the coral button of the first rank, his suite the blue button.\n\nThe audience took place early on the morning of the 5th May, both the Emperor and the Empress Dowager being present. The Mission did not enter the hall of\n\n[1905 aa-7]",

About 12:30 a.m., the C.C. entered the lane from Cochrane Street and examined the lane with his lantern. He then left the lane by the same way as he entered and returned almost immediately in company with Jemadar Gulab. They both went to a recess on the East side of the top of the steps where I was lying concealed and there held a whispered conversation. They then both went to a doorway on the West side of the same steps, almost immediately opposite. The C.C. left the doorway, apparently to examine the lane to make doubly sure that no one was about, the Jemadar remaining in the doorway until the C.C. returned. I then heard a short conversation, and afterwards saw the C.C. shine his lantern into the doorway. The Jemadar was standing facing outwards; his tunic and trousers were unbuttoned and his penis exposed. The flashing of the lantern being the signal arranged upon, we both ran up the few steps and confronted \"Gulab\". I asked him \"what is the meaning of this\" but received no reply.

        "content_text": "in fact all roads led there. Two stands had been erected close to the respective statues, and before eleven o'clock these were filled with a very representative gathering. The day opened beautifully fine, the sun shining from a cloudless sky while an invigorating, cool breeze had the effect of tempering the atmosphere. Among the many who were present were the Hon. Mr. E. A. Hewett (Chairman of the Coronation Committee), the Hon. Mr. E. Osborne, Hon. Sir Paul Chater, C.M.G., Mr. H. N. Mody, Mr. J. R. M. Smith, Hon. Captain Badeley, Hon. Dr. Ho Kai, C.M.G., and Hon. Mr. Wei Yuk, C.M.G. (members of the committee), General Sir Joachim Machado, K.C.M.G., Captain Goulden, the Hon.

M. Hazeland, Captain Affreixo, Captain Grenfell (Tamar), Mr. D. R. Law, Mr. E. G. M. Fletcher, Hon. Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Gresson, Mr. Sassoon, and a great many others. The Governor was expected about ten o'clock and before that hour all the troops had been placed in their positions, and were in readiness for the arrival of His Excellency. The greatest possible interest was manifested in the proceedings by the community, and crowds were pressing in every direction with the idea of obtaining a glimpse. Some were fortunate enough to have a view, but hundreds were unable to see at all. All the places of advantage were taken, and numbers of people witnessed the ceremony from the verandahs of the buildings opposite.\n\nThe troops included the massed bands, 100 men of the Royal Navy, 100 men of the Royal Marine Light Infantry, 90 files of the Royal Artillery, 40 files of the H.K.S.B. Royal Garrison Artillery, 70 files of the Royal Engineers, 90 files of The Buffs, 40 files of the 105th Mahratta Light Infantry and 40 files of the 13th Rajputs. There were also Colour parties of The Buffs, Mahrattas and Rajputs—all the units in Hongkong being thus represented. A company of the Buffs was formed round the Statue of Queen Victoria, where the 13th Rajputs surrounded on three sides the Statue of Queen Alexandra. Facing it, on the opposite side of the road, were the 105th Mahrattas, with the massed band behind. Another company of the Buffs was stationed at the side of the central figure of the Royal group, while on the other side, a good muster of the Hongkong Volunteer Corps were drawn up in line. Two companies of the R.G.A. were stationed at the entrance to the square at the Des Voeux Road end, while another body of the same regiment formed up on the Praya near the north end of Statue Square in readiness to fire the Royal Salute. A detachment of the Royal Engineers mounted guard around the Statue of the Princess of Wales. The \"tout ensemble\" formed a brilliant spectacular display, of which Hongkong may well be proud. Everything was done with that promptitude and willingness characteristic...\n\nPage 571",

Jordan was informed on the 31st ultimo by the Wai-wu Pu that they were telegraphing that day to the Chinese Minister at Lisbon their acceptance of the Portuguese proposals, as reported by the latter, and the nomination of Kao-erh-chien, Commissioner for Foreign Affairs in Yunnan, as Chinese High Commissioner.\n\nIt appears that Kao-erh-chien, who is known to Sir J. Jordan personally, was formerly a Councillor in the Wai-wu Pu, and has had considerable experience in dealing with French frontier questions in Yünnan. He speaks French, and has a button of the first grade, and holds a post which ranks with, but after, that of Provincial Judge.\n\nConsidering the limited number of high officials qualified for such work, the appointment seems to Sir J. Jordan to be a good one.\n\nThe Wai-wu Pu stated that the Viceroy of Canton wanted the appointment of a member of the Canton Government as Second Commissioner, but, remembering what Sir J. Jordan had urged about the elimination of local influence, they had rejected the proposal.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed) **GREY**\n\n## Agreement respecting mining rights within 30 li of Kiaochow-Chinan Railway\n\n1. The Company is a purely Chinese Company, formed for the purpose of carrying out the Agreement respecting mining rights within 30 li of Kiaochow-Chinan Railway, and has nothing to do with international politics. The functions of the Company are confined to the working of mines.\n\n2. In spite of the Company having considerably exceeded the period sanctioned by the Wai-wu Pu for prospecting, as a special arrangement two years more shall be allowed from the date of the signature of this Agreement for further investigation. No workings shall be commenced until a mining permit has been applied for and issued. If no application for a mining permit has been made within two years, the prospecting rights of the Company shall determine, and the land revert to Chinese control. If a Chinese applies within the two years to work any part of the five mining localities assigned to the Company which the Company is not actually prospecting at the time, and the Company does not within two months declare that it requires that part for mining purposes, the Company shall cease to have any rights over that part.\n\n3. From the five places conceded to the Company for prospecting purposes, they are to select, within the two years allowed, seven areas not exceeding 30 square li each for mining operations. After taking out mining permits, mining operations must be begun within six months, under penalty of annulment of the permit. If the Company wishes to sell any of its mining lands, Chinese must have the first offer and Germans the second.\n\n4. Any public business of the Company, or any contracts they may make for leasing land or houses or hiring labour, must be done through the Mining Bureau. It must hold land on lease only, not by absolute purchase, the lessor being the State when there is no other landlord. No compulsion is to be exercised in obtaining leases.\n\n5. The Company's Articles of Association and Prospectus are to be forwarded through the Mining Bureau to the Wai-wu Pu and Board of Commerce, and the Chinese Government shall have power to alter anything contrary to Treaty or otherwise illegal in them. Chinese and Germans are to have equal rights and advantages in respect of purchasing or owning shares, and a Chinese director is to be appointed when 100,000 marks of shares have been taken up by Chinese.\n\n6. A fee of 100 taels is to be made on mining permits for areas not exceeding 10 square li, and an additional 10 taels on every additional square li up to 30 square li. Land tax to be paid by the proprietor. Export taxes according to the Tariff, and a tax on output according to the Regulations to be paid by the Company, payment of which will exempt the products of the Company's mines from li-kin when being transported to the port of shipment.\n\n7. The Company is to exercise the greatest care to prevent its operations causing damage to the property in the neighbourhood, and is to pay liberal compensation for any damage or loss of life. A hospital is to be established in the neighbourhood of each mine, where Chinese labourers may be attended at the cost of the Company. Payment is to be made to the families of any who may die.\n\n8. In any matters not provided for in this Agreement, the Company is to observe the Provisional Mining Regulations of Kuang Hsü 32 (1906) pending the promulgation of the new Regulations. All negotiations previously in progress are annulled by the signature of this Agreement.\n\nThe above Agreement has been sanctioned by the Wai-wu Pu and the Board of Commerce, and will take effect from the date of signature. The Chinese text is authoritative.\n\n[This Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Government.]\n\nPage 411\n[2155 e-1]",

They are at the same time informing the Portuguese Government of the appointment of Kao Erh Ch'ien as Chinese High Commissioner.\n\nThis official, who, in his capacity of Commissioner for Foreign Affairs in Yunnan, has enjoyed considerable experience of boundary questions on the French frontier, speaks French, and is personally known to me as a former Councillor in the Wai-wu Pu.

I consider his appointment satisfactory, bearing in mind how few high officials there are who have the proper qualifications for the post in question.\n\nI am told by the Wai-wu Pu that, in view of the importance I attached to the Delimitation Commission being kept as far as possible free from local prejudice, they have refused to agree to the Canton Viceroy's request for the appointment of a second Commissioner in the person of some member of the Provincial Government.\n\nPage 29\n[4111]\n[2116 kh-1]",

The inhabitants of these farms are chiefly women, for most of the males are herded in the lamaseries.\n\nMay 14-After three hours we passed a large farm called Kia ker chi ho, a well-to-do place; here a Mongol with the rank of Colonel, and with the decoration of the Red Button, lives; it is his duty to recruit Mongols for the Chinese Army; he is said to have little or no success.\n\nThe country now took an entirely new aspect; instead of being covered with sand-drifts, the ground is smooth turf with occasional shrubs, never more than a few inches high. During the afternoon we passed some Mongol farms known as Tabo tuluhe, where there was a good well close to the track, and round which a group of nine Chinese—blacksmiths and carpenters, en route from Yulinfu to the West to find work—were resting. The plain, and especially a huge tract of land forming a lakebed and white with salt, was covered with tufts of the spikey grass which the camels eat so greedily. Towards nightfall we began to look for a house to lodge in, but, finding none, retreated to the hills to the left, where we came across a lad who showed us where water was obtainable. Here we pitched our tents.\n\nMay 15-Keeping along the sandy high road to Ninghsia we came to a Mongol farm late in the morning. Here we learnt that Borobalgasson lay considerably to the south. We therefore took on an extra guide, who said he would take us there by nightfall for the sum of 1 tael (3s.). We therefore left the Ninghsia road and turned due south across country, passing numerous well-to-do Mongol farms en route. The country had the appearance of a vast plain, but was in reality a succession of low hillocks and sand-drifts. Heavy rain and thunder coming on we halted for the night at the large farm of Bong huang ga dun.\n\nMay 16.-Four hours' marching brought us to Borobalgasson, where we found a lodging with the kindly Roman Catholic priest.\n\n## Its \n\nBorobalgasson—the \"Grey Town\" of Hue—was first a Chinese and later a Mongol town of some importance. This latter was destroyed in the thirteenth century. ruins lie about a mile away from the mission; they consist of only the fortifications, but as the Mongols did not surround their encampments with walls, these show that the town was probably an early Chinese one. They are after the usual Chinese pattern, and now of course entirely grass-grown. There were entrances on the four sides, and on the west side outside the wall lay a broad ditch. A thinner outer fortification wall can be traced between the ditch and the main wall on this side; possibly there was another water protection between these two walls. There are no ruins inside the fortifications except of the Catholic mission station which was destroyed by Boxer violence in 1900.\n\nBorobalgasson is now merely the name of a district in the Province of Ottok. The mission may be said to form the centre of this district. Round it are scattered numerous Mongol farms, many hidden away among the sand hills. The inhabitants of these farms are Christians. There are several other chapels under the charge of European priests in the neighbourhood, and they appear to have no rivals in the shape of Lama temples.\n\nThe central mission station at Borobalgasson is protected against animals by mud walls some 300 yards by 150; they are in no sense fortifications, nor are any arms stored there. In the event of future trouble the missionaries would retreat, as in 1900, on Hsiao Chiao pan, 23 miles to the south.\n\nThe various priests have more work to do in winter than in summer, as in the former season the inhabitants are able to attend schools while in the latter these are busy cultivating their land or watching their herds. The priests speak excellent and fluent Mongol; they consider Kweihuacheng ten days' distance from Balgasson, and send their mail matter that way by means of their own courier once a month. They receive regular news of the outer world in the same way.\n\nBorobalgasson is of importance still as being on the high road to Ninghsiafu and also to the residence of the Prince of Ottok—both places being five days' distance away. Flour and sugar can be purchased at a kind of shop here.\n\nMay 17.-Attendance at mass being obligatory, hundreds of Mongols flocked toward the mission to-day on ponies or on camels. They prayed noisily but fervently.\n\nLeaving in an east-south-easterly direction along the grass-clad plain, dotted with many Mongol farms, chiefly Christian, as was to be seen by the absence of prayer flags and shrines outside the buildings, we turned south-east two hours later across high sandhills of the most disagreeable type. We were five hours crossing this belt of sand, on which no vegetation grows whatever. The terrible heat of the noonday sun nearly proved fatal to some of the caravan.\n\n## 27 \n\nSuddenly the sand-hills ceased, and we emerged on to good land with a few willow and poplar trees dotted about, and a number of farms.\n\nThough we were still in the Ordos territory all signs of Mongols ceased, for the Chinese have pushed these north of the belt of sand and have taken possession of the rich land between this and the Great Wall, the southern boundary of the Ordos.\n\nThe dangers to which travellers in the sandhills are exposed are very real. The sandstorm of the previous day had obliterated all footsteps; we had therefore to make a fresh track for ourselves. The priest at Balgasson had lent us as guide a man who had come with the mail only the day before. In spite of this we drifted a long way out of the right course, considerably to the anxiety of the guide.\n\nSoon after leaving the sand-hills we reached a deep gully some 200 yards wide and 100 feet deep. This break in the ground occurs quite suddenly and unexpectedly. At the bottom flows a small stream 20 feet wide and a foot deep in a north-east direction to join the Wutingho. This stream is said to be exceedingly difficult to cross after heavy rains.\n\nAscending from the gully we passed a number of cave dwellings, and reaching the plain again continued over level well-cultivated ground and arrived at the small but strongly fortified Catholic mission station of Hsiao Chiao Pan.\n\n## The Belgian Roman Catholic Mission in Mongolia.\n\nThis mission is divided into the two portions, each being under the charge of a Bishop, of Eastern and Western Mongolia. Its efforts to spread Christianity embrace Mongols and Chinese alike, and have been successful to the tune of several tens of thousands in all. The two sees meet at Kweihuacheng, that of Western Mongolia being of later date than that of Eastern Mongolia. Ney Elias visiting the latter in 1872 wrote \"the territory allotted by Rome to the Belgian Mission extends from Kantung near Jehol in the east to the neighbourhood of Kweihuacheng in the west, and consists chiefly of the narrow belt of Mongolia lying immediately outside the Great Wall, where the population is made up almost entirely of Chinese emigrants from the neighbouring provinces of Chih-li and Shansi.” The chief station of this diocese is, I believe, Si ying sze, about 70 miles in a west-north-westerly direction from Kalgan.\n\nThe diocese of Western Mongolia comprises Kansu and the Ordos tribes, and extends as far as Chinese Turkestan, where there are stations at Manas and Kuldja. There are in especial three groups of converted villages (1) to the west of Kweihua-cheng to where the Yellow River bends south; (2) in the kingdom of Alashan, a district on the Yellow River where this stream begins a 200 mile flow eastwards. This district is known as Santauho; (3) in the Ordos country; this district, whose chief centres are Borobalgasson and Hsiao chiao is in the kingdom of Ottok, and lies just north of the Great Wall of China. There are two other stations in the Ordos, somewhat isolated from the others. These are Hsiao Noor and Ta Noor in the north-east corner and close to the Yellow River. These lie in the Kingdom of Talat.\n\nIt is only some thirty years since a beginning was made in the diocese by the establishment of a station at Hsiaochiao, \"Small bridge, hence Kleinbrügge; from here the Mission spread northward to Borobalgasson and Santanho; already they claim some 16,000 converts.\n\nThe present Bishop, Mgr. Bermuyn, is the third in office, the last, Bishop Hamer, being martyred in 1900. The Bishop's official residence is in the district near Kweihuacheng but he is a wandering prelate and rarely spends more than a couple of weeks at any place in his diocese. His Grandeur is on the verge of completing a Franco-Mongol and Mongol-French dictionary, which should be of the greatest value. There are about fifty European priests in the diocese--all Belgian and Flemish. Their number is reinforced annually by four approximately. New arrivals in the field spend the first two years in a kind of seminary in the district west of Kweihuacheng. Here they learn Mongol and Chinese, but chiefly the latter, for the former can easily be picked up later, six months perpetual intercourse with the Mongols sufficing for this. They are also taught Chinese manners and customs for everything is done to avoid breaches of these.\n\nThe mission is entirely apart from other Roman Catholic missions; it subsists on the donations of the faithful at home and complains of being poor, but apart from the fact that all the priests I met lived comfortably, in one district alone two new stations were being created, and churches (with cottages hard by for the future converts) were being erected at a cost of 5,000 taels (£750) a piece; there does not seem, therefore, to be much reason to grumble.",

        "content_text": "# 170 \n## 110 \n\nThe Tai station is where the junction of the Altaishan-Manas and Altaishan-Chuguchak tracks is located. It has only been in existence for a year and was created by the energetic Amban of Altaishan, who is trying to extend the Tai system to these districts. A Mongol camp, Utubuluk, lies nearby and is in charge of the station. A tiny trickle of water comes slowly down here from the Sanreshan.\n\nAt mile 7, we crossed a similar trickle, and from then on, we kept crossing dry beds down which the melted snows descend from the mountains, fertilizing the whole plain. At mile 14, we passed, a mile to our left, the small lama temple of Bayinobo, and at mile 22.3 reached another known as \"O wa te miao,\" where the lamas allowed us to stay for the night. This temple is wealthier than Bayinobo, and its shrines are clean and well cared for. Among the countless votive offerings of little value hanging on the walls, such as old guns, bows and arrows, swords, scarves, mule-bells, etc., was an old coat of mail and casque, which might have been of some value.\n\n## September 22\nThe lamas here allow themselves moustaches, a privilege that would shock the Dalai Lama.\n\nContinuing westwards, we reached the princely residence after 9 miles. This is situated about a mile from the hills, on the south side of the valley. The range at its back is called the **Bayin zurkan aderik**. The encampment is visible soon after leaving Owatemiao. It consists of a group of yourts lying around the tribal temple, which is built halfway up a large natural mound, this being surmounted by a joss of the ordinary pattern and a large obo of sticks, to which hang white and yellow streamers. The yourts are half-enclosed by mud walls built with entire irregularity, and the sight of these explained the meaning of the other two remains of walls on the plain, former encampments from which the Prince had moved.\n\nThe Prince lives at the south-east end of the encampment, in two white yourts in summer and in a low mud house immediately behind these in winter. In this latter, he is able to have a Russian stove. His Highness sent me his greetings and kindly caused two yourts to be erected for me on the plain. I called on him in the afternoon. He is a fat lad of 20 years, rather shy but with agreeable manners. He has never been to Peking and should have gone this year but excused himself on the plea of business. The trouble of getting there and back and the great expense are probably the real reasons. He has been to Chuguchak several times and has come into contact with Russians there, which explained why his room was full of photos, watches and clocks, and the inevitable gramophone. He told me that no foreigner had ever visited his capital, and seemed very gratified that one had come. The Government pays him an annual subsidy of 2,000 taels and presents of silk. His brother is Gegen of the family temple here. He has no soldiers. His favourite amusement is fox-hunting with an eagle, and this sport he indulges in sometimes five days a week in winter. The huge bird was brought into the room during our conversation and made such a din that it was impossible to hear ourselves speak. The Prince is married but has no children as yet. He speaks no Chinese; as a boy, he learnt a little from a Shansi man but has forgotten it all. His name is Ochingwang. He was dressed in a dark red silk robe and wore huge spectacles and a Chinese pork-pie hat with a peacock feather and red button. He agreed to furnish camels for the six days' journey to Chuguchak. The population of his capital must be some 250, of whom more than 200 will be lamas, but the neighbourhood is crowded with yourts. A small stream trickles past the encampment. His subjects who live close by pay no taxes of any kind; they simply work for His Highness and give their animals when required or take care of his beasts. Those of his subjects who live at a distance pay taxes in animals when required, these occasions being when the Prince marries or makes a journey. I was told that they then give one animal out of every ten. This seems excessive, but I believe what happens is this: The Prince sends round a man who asks how many animals a family possesses. If the owner has 200, he will drive 150 to the mountains and say he has only 50; of these, 5 will be taken. No one seems to mind, and the State is run in a happy patriarchal manner.\n\n## September 23\nThe day was spent idly in camp, and arrangements were made for the camels to leave on the morrow. The Prince's factor said that I could pay any sum for these that I pleased—that it was simply a present and would be divided among the Prince's servants. His Highness was embarrassing in his attentions all day. He sent Tartar koumiss in the morning, followed by a dinner from the princely kitchen in the afternoon, while a roll of silk and a present of money arrived for my suite. Towards sunset, the wind, which had been violent all day, increased to a gale, and the Prince very thoughtfully sent men to tie the roofs of the tents securely.\n\n## September 24\nThough the morning was grey and cold and a drizzle falling, there was nothing to do but set out for Chuguchak. We continued up the valley to the west by a well-defined track. At mile 6, we reached the end of the Bayinzurkanaderik and crossed some brooks that flow down the valley behind the range. The stream is known as the Khobakingol. The valley, hitherto 5 miles broad, now became double that width, taking in all the valley up to the Semustau, as the Hassacks call the impenetrable wall of mountains to our left (the Mongols call it Hottenula). Near to where the valley broadens is a large Mongol encampment, and this is the only one we sighted all day, despite the fact that water is abundant and pasturage is excellent. At mile 23, we reached a fair-sized stream known as the Damingol, by the side of which was a Hassack camp. The stream flows north and south and is diverted eastwards by the Semustau range. It forms a good deal of marshy ground. The natives say it flows into the Khobakingol. The people of this district were prudently stacking a great deal of grass into ricks for winter fodder. They say they have to pay two taxes—the first being one sheep per tent per year to the Tourgout Prince, the other being 9, 6, or 3 taels a year to the Chinese Government at Chuguchak, according to the class in which they are placed. They dislike this arrangement but seemed very merry notwithstanding.\n\n## September 25\nA little wood is burnt here when the Hassacks are energetic enough to bring it from the north face of the mountains that lie to the north of the camp. Last night was fearfully wild; a violent gale blew from the west, accompanied by hail and thunder and lightning. The hills this morning were deep in snow.\n\nAll day long, thousands of geese were flying south.\n\nAt... \n\nLeaving to the west, we began at once to climb steadily through low hills, which soon became mountains. Water was fairly abundant, and the mountain sides were covered with grass. The track was good the whole way and certainly possible for carts. We reached the top of the pass at mile 9 and, keeping north-west, began to descend the Semustau mountains, maintaining their west direction. In front of us lay a confused mass of low mountains. The Saureshan kept parallel with us in a north-westerly direction. Descending very easily for 2 miles, we passed a second obo and entered Russian territory, which at this point runs like a wedge for a few miles southwards into the hills. At mile 11, we began to descend abruptly down a small stream, and at mile 18 were abreast of the Mongol Tai maintained by the Chinese Government along this, the only road to Chuguchak from the east. The valley of the stream now broadened to a plain, across which we looked towards the Zaisan mountain range. The track turned west and kept on the lower slopes of the hills and above the plain. At mile 21, we were abreast of a Russian picket a mile to the right of us. Here the track turned south-west up a gently sloping valley, keeping up this for 13 miles, we halted at one of the numerous Hassack camps.\n\nThe Hassack name of the picket is Jeldi. It commands the valley. There are said to be between thirty and forty Cossacks maintained there from March to September every year, the only months when the road is in use. They are said to scrutinize travellers very closely. I do not know if this is correct, for the picket showed no sign of life as we passed. The valley in which we slept is called Baimirze, and the mountains to the left of us are the Minkerjirgal.\n\n## September 26\nThe wolves were unusually busy last night, and the dogs were at work the whole night leaping round to face the attack. Night in a nomad encampment is by no means as delightfully still as could be wished. The cattle and horses are tethered to the tents and keep a perpetual lowing and neighing, the sheep and goats are quite close and bleat at intervals, while the camels join in the chorus with their hateful complaining noise, and dogs are perpetually barking at real or imaginary foes.\n\nAscending the gentle slopes of the valley, which is here some mile wide, we passed half a mile later a mound 300 yards to our left, a boundary mark; and we were now back in China again. The valley then gradually grew broader, the top of the ascent was reached imperceptibly, and we began to descend gently by the gully of the Ulanhodjur. At mile 6, the valley seemed to end, the hills closing in on either side, just leaving room for the stream to descend sharply through the mountains. At mile 9, we were abreast of the Government station of Ulanhodjur and then descended the picturesque narrow gorge, sometimes 200 feet above the stream, at other times descending to and crossing it. The road now became impossible for carts. The hills maintained their height; as we descended, we found ourselves soon among mountains again.\n\nAt mile 15¼, at an obo, we came to an unusually steep descent, lasting a mile and a quarter, and here we had the last view of the snow-clad mountains of the Saureshan behind us and the first view of the plain of Chuguchak. At mile 21, we were out on the plain, with the mounts of Tarbagatai running on our right to the west. Passing to the Government station of Ulanhotto, we kept in a south-westerly direction across the plain to the encampment known as Shobonobo. The plain was covered with good pasturage.\n\n## 111",

This gentleman conducted me to a small waiting room, the walls of which were ornamented with maps and botanical diagrams, where the usual tea and cigarettes were offered to me. Here I was joined by three French visitors, and a few minutes later Mr. Chang, the president of the assembly, a little old man of 70 with a long thin white beard, came into the room. He made a few remarks to me about the assembly not being quite in working order yet, everything being in consequence very rough, and I made a few deprecatory remarks in reply; and in a few minutes' time, 10 o'clock having struck, we all adjourned to the assembly hall.\n\nHere my French companions and I were conducted up some stairs to what was formerly a private box in the theatre of the guild house, directly facing the presidential table on the stage, and with the seats for the ordinary members in the stall space below me.\n\nI observed that the back of the stage was covered by a large yellow curtain, on and over which were posted the imperial edicts relating to the constitution and conduct of provincial assemblies. Directly in front of this screen was a seat for the Viceroy, and on each side near the corners of the stage were two similar seats, intended for any of the high provincial authorities who might desire to be present at any sitting. On the occasion of my visit these three chairs were unoccupied. In the centre of the stage was a long table with three chairs for the president and vice-presidents, and immediately fronting this were a desk and a chair, intended for members addressing the assembly in set speeches. On the left front of the stage were a table and chair for the chief secretary, and the corresponding place on the right was occupied by a large blackboard.\n\nImmediately below the orator's tribune was a table at which two reporters were sitting, and on it was a ballot-box. In the stalls' part of the theatre were some sixty or seventy chairs and desks ranged in semi-circles facing the stage, with a broad gangway up the centre and smaller paths between every two or three seats at the sides. The names of the members were written in small characters on the backs of their chairs.\n\nUnder the galleries, running round the three sides of the building not occupied by the stage, was a large open space, which seemed to be the particular domain of the sergeant-at-arms, in the shape of a portly officer of police in a new European-style uniform.\n\nIn the side galleries were rows of plain desks and chairs intended for ordinary visitors; and in the distinguished visitors' box in the centre were a few silk-covered seats and desks covered with green baize similar to those intended for the members below.\n\nThe hall was well lighted by large glass windows in the sides and smaller windows round the square-raised roof in the centre.\n\nI counted thirty-eight members present besides the president and the two vice-presidents, and exclusive of Mr. Nieh, who remained upstairs with me and the other visitors. They were arranged according to age, the oldest occupying the front seats. All wore official hats, and most of them had gold or silver buttons; one old gentleman seated in the front row near the blackboard being conspicuous by having a red button and peacock's feather. I was told that he was a Mr. Ting, member for Ho-ch'ing Chou in Li-chiang prefecture, in the north-west of the province, formerly salt comptroller in the Liang-huai region of Chiang-su and Anhui.\n\nThe chief secretary chalked on the blackboard the subject for the day's discussion, which was what arrangements for the future were to be made with regard to the funds of the Yunnan Bank, which had failed; and after a pause a member left his seat, and, ascending some steps at the side of the stage, advanced to the tribune, and, with a bow to the president and his colleagues in front of him, commenced to speak. He was followed by two other speakers, and then a general discussion took place. Everyone appeared to speak very naturally, with quiet dignity, and very little gesture; and even in the general discussion only one member spoke at a time. The speeches were practically extempore, very slight use being made of the notes which the speakers placed on the table before them.

O.\n\n525\n\nRESP\n\n[March 21.7K IC\n\nSECTION 2.\n\nConsul-General O'Brien-Butler to Sir Eduard Grey.-(Received March 21.)\n\n(No. 4. Confidential.) Sir,\n\nYünnan-fu, February 9, 1910. I HAVE the honour to forward to you herewith a copy of an opium report for December quarter, 1909, which I have sent to His Majesty's Minister at Peking.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nP. E. O'BRIEN-BUTLER.\n\nEnclosure in No. 1.\n\nConsul-General O'Brien-Butler to Sir J. Jordan,\n\n(No. 9. Confidential.) Sir,\n\nYunnan-fu, February 8, 1910. THE hopes of the inhabitants of this province that the new Governor-General, Li Ching-hsi, would relax the stringent regulations against opium cultivation were doomed to disappointment. His Excellency has let it be known that, while considering that his predecessor, Hsi-liang, was over-hasty in such drastic measures as he adopted to abolish the production and use of the drug, he regrets that he cannot do anything to alter them.\n\nWhatever doubts the officials may have had as to the Governor-General's attitude with regard to opium must have been set at rest by his depriving the magistrate of Ping-i of his office and his button as a punishment for his habitual disregard of the anti-opium regulations and for his more or less open connivance at opium smuggling across the border from Kweichow.\n\nAbout the beginning of October the magistrate of Ch'inpei (about 90 miles to the south-west of Yunnan-fu) seized some 20,000 oz. of opium (about 60 cwt.) smuggled from Kweichow, and burnt it at his district city. It is reported that the importer committed suicide to escape further punishment than the loss of his drug.\n\nThe magistrate of Amichow (on the railway between Yünnan-fu and Mêngtzũ) is reported to be particularly active in suppressing opium smoking. His police visit all the houses of the department city every night, in order to catch persons smoking opium and to discover opium-smoking implements.\n\nOn the 2nd November 17,379 pipes and 29,949 Chinese ounces of opium (about 16 cwt. 37 lb.) were publicly burnt on the execution ground outside the south gate of this city.\n\nSeveral missionaries whom I have consulted on the subject are unanimous in assuring me that in the course of their travels in this province they have not seen a single field planted with poppy. I understand, however, from Chinese that a small quantity of opium is still grown on patches of land hidden away in the mountains, far from highways and not nearer than ten or twelve days' journey from the provincial capital.\n\nIt appears to be an open secret that the Governor-General, formerly a heavy smoker—his daily dose being over a Chinese ounce (14 oz. avoirdupois)—has not been able to conquer his craving for the drug. He has only succeeded, so far, in reducing the quantity he consumes to about one-fifth of a Chinese ounce, which amount he smokes secretly every night.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nP. E. O'BRIEN-BUTLER.\n\n[2661 - -2]",

Sir,\n\nNo. 1.\n\nMr. Max Müller to Sir Edward Grey.--(Received April 25.)\n\nPeking, March 31, 1910,\n\nWITH reference to Sir John Jordan's despatch No. 387 of the 21st October last enclosing my general report on the opium question in China, I have the honour to report that I have received the following information since that date from His Majesty's consular officers in the provinces, from which it seems clear that further progress has attended the continued efforts of the central Government to suppress the cultivation of opium in China, and if the same may not perhaps be said of the result of their attempts to reduce its consumption, that must be attributed to the immense difficulty of the task and to the great temptation which the rising value of the drug offers to venal minor officials to be lax in the application of regulations in places not under the immediate control of their official superiors.\n\nIn my report I dealt with the necessity of absolute prohibition as the only effective means of dealing with the cultivation problem, and demonstrated how orders for gradual reduction of the poppy-grown area proved too complicated for application in Szechuan. I now have the honour to transmit herewith copy of an interesting despatch from His Majesty's consul at Chungking which more than justifies my anticipations as to the probable result of the order for total prohibition in that province.\n\nIt will be remembered that, in his report of the 18th September last year, Mr Sly gives his view that total prohibition is not possible, but says that, in the opinion of a well-informed Chinese, ultimate success depends on the reduction of the area of cultivation by 70 or 80 per cent, this season and the prevention of subsequent relaxation.\n\nIt is eminently satisfactory to read in Mr. Smith's despatch that a prominent member of the Roman Catholic mission, who is in close touch with the agricultural population, estimates that the total area under opium cultivation does not exceed 20 per cent. of last season's area. Particulars from seventeen districts which include the largest opium-producing centres in eastern Szechuan show that in fifteen practically no opium is now grown.\n\nAt Foochow alone officials, gentry, and farmers seem to have combined to ignore all regulations and reap a final grand harvest from a sown area 50 per cent. larger than that of 1908-9. The only other district in Szechuan from which an unsatisfactory reply was received to Mr. Smith's enquiries is that of Fengtu, where one-tenth of the previous season's crop is reported to have been grown.\n\nBishop Bashford, who has just returned from an extended tour of the provinces of Kiangsi and Szechuan, says in an interview to the press that his investigations have convinced him of two things: 1st, that the Chinese Government is thoroughly in earnest in regard to the eradication of the opium habit; 2nd, that the Government is succeeding splendidly in its enlightened efforts to put a stop both to the habit and to the cultivation of the plant.\n\nHe states that according to the testimony of thirty missionaries at Chungking, cultivation has ceased throughout the province, and the fields have been replanted with rice and vegetables, while in Kiangsi he says there is absolutely no opium grown.\n\nBefore passing to reports from other provinces it may be added that it is quite remarkable that so great a change should have been effected with so little violent opposition in the economic conditions of a populous province formerly almost wholly dependent on the cultivation traffic of opium.\n\nHis Majesty's consul-general at Yunnan-fu reports that the new Governor-General Li-Ching-Hsi has disappointed the inhabitants of the province of Yunnan in not relaxing the stringent regulations of his predecessor against the cultivation of opium.\n\nThe new governor speedily dispelled any doubts as to his policy by depriving the magistrate of Ping-i of his office and button for habitual disregard of the regulations in October last and connivance at opium smuggling across the border from Kweichow.\n\nThe magistrate of Ch'iupei (some 90 miles south-west of Yunnan-fu) seized and burned 20,000 ounces of opium (about 60 cwts.) which had been smuggled in from Kweichow, and the owner committed suicide to escape further punishment.\n\nOn the 2nd November His Majesty's consul-general reports that no less than 17,379 pipes and 29,949 Chinese ounces (about 16 cwts. 37 lbs.) of opium were publicly burned outside the south gate of\n\n[2719 bb-1]\n\nB\n\n50\n\nPage 363\n\n...\n\nPage 363\n\n...\n\nPage 363",

Reparation was demanded and obtained by both the British and Japanese consular officials, but unwise delay occurred in dealing with the unruly soldiery concerned on the plea that some forty men remained absent from barracks. As a result, a second riot occurred on the 13th February in which a Chinese police officer and several constables were wounded. The trouble was alleged to have originated in the withholding of the men's pay.\n\nI visited this 46th regiment at Soochow on the 9th instant and saw the men on parade, in their barrack-rooms, and in their class-rooms, and spoke to many of the non-commissioned officers and soldiers. Everything appeared to be orderly and regular, and the demeanour of the men and their bearing towards their officers respectful and soldierlike.\n\nBefore I left Peking (on the 15th March) the judge advocate-general of the Chinese army had informed me that the brigadier, C'hên Të Lung, had been removed, but on my arrival at Soochow I found him still there, in command, and believe he is so now.\n\nThe Wai-wu Pu has now officially informed His Majesty's Legation that the following punishments were awarded, viz.:—\n\nThe ringleader, Sergeant C'hên Li Shan; imprisonment for life.\n\nPrivates Weng and Sun; twenty years and ten years imprisonment respectively.\n\nMajors Tseng Li Chao and Chiêng Hung En, commanders of the two mutinous battalions (1st and 2nd) of the 46th regiment, who had already been deprived of their rank, to undergo in addition a term of imprisonment (period not stated).\n\nAt Kiang Yin forts, His Majesty's consul at Nanking reported, on the 12th January, there had been considerable disaffection in the 36th regiment, which culminated in the desertion of nearly 100 men. The cause would appear to have been dissatisfaction with promotions to non-commissioned rank. (The 36th regiment belongs to the 9th division, the discipline of which has frequently been a subject of unfavourable comment.)\n\nHis Majesty's consul now reports that the following punishments were awarded in connection with this outbreak, viz.:--\n\nThe sergeant who originated the mutiny was beheaded.\n\nThe captain of the company concerned has been dismissed, deprived of his feather, button, and badge of merit, and sentenced to imprisonment for five years.\n\nThe colonel, who had been removed from his command before the mutiny broke out, has three marks recorded against his name.\n\nThe major (battalion commander) has been removed, and is not to be employed in the army again.\n\nThe brigadier-general of the 18th brigade has two marks recorded against his name.\n\nAt Ch'ing Chiang P'u, in the 13th Brigade (Mixed Brigade) of regulars, serious disaffection appears to have undoubtedly occurred last month. The native papers at the end of March contained alarming accounts of the state of things there, pointing to an entire disorganisation of the brigade. It was said that a letter suggesting disturbance was sent from one of the infantry regiments at Soochow to an infantry regiment at Ching Chiang P'u, but was delivered to the cavalry by mistake, and that General Wang (the military governor of Kiang Pei) called out the infantry but they refused to obey the order; that General Wang bad then sent the gendarmerie and city guards to open the floating bridge and close the city gates and man the walls at the west and south gates; that the mutineers had then assembled outside the city wall and sharp fighting had taken place in which the civil canal-side population had suffered heavily as well as the mutineers, who had then retired to the south bank of the old Yellow River, and that two battalions had been sent up from Nanking.\n\nI anticipated, therefore, that I should probably be prevented by the Chinese authorities from proceeding to Ching Chiang P'u, but no objection was raised, and I arrived there after nightfall on the 4th April, and was very well received by the authorities. There was a dense and curious crowd at the landing-place as I disembarked but, in my passage through the heart of the city, could discern no sign of disorder, the streets being full of people and the shops open as usual.\n\nThe following day I saw the 13th Mixed Brigade at their lines, about 1 mile north of the town, making a long inspection of the barracks and institutions and seeing some units of every arm (except the transport, whose barracks are not yet ready) on parade. In the afternoon they had a small field-day (cavalry and infantry only) for my benefit in the old bed of the Yellow River. The officials were exceedingly reticent about the recent disturbance, and, indeed, denied that there had been a serious mutiny. In any case, I am satisfied that the disturbance has been greatly exaggerated, for it had not resulted, at any rate, in any visible disorganisation of the brigade. My Chih-li servant, whom I sent out into the town to make enquiries, and my boatmen (two of whom were Ching Chiang P'u men) could obtain no confirmation of the alarmist reports, and informed me that it was untrue that two battalions had been sent up from Nanking. They admitted, however, that there was talk in the town about some discontent in the luchun (regular troops), and that it concerned the men's pay. I have little doubt that there was more or less serious trouble, as the officials took care to keep me very fully occupied during my stay, inspecting troops, schools, hospital, &c., and were obviously anxious to prevent my visiting Dr. Woods, of the American mission. I insisted, however, on calling at the mission, but he and the Rev. Graham were both, unfortunately, away, and I subsequently failed to catch up Dr. Woods at Shanghae.\n\nIn the men's dining-rooms, moreover, in barracks, I noticed a proclamation by the military governor Wang referring to discipline and exhorting them to good behaviour, which would point to there having been some necessity for its issue. The officials, moreover, laid particular stress on the unreliability of newspaper reports.\n\nOn the 4th April His Majesty's consul at Nanking saw the Viceroy's confidential adviser Yang Chêng (ex-Minister to Vienna), who told him that the trouble was not yet over; and on the 15th April he referred to a native newspaper report of the 13th instant, which stated that \"a further 1,000 men had handed in their uniforms and asked for their pay, with the intention of leaving the service, and that the officers had not dared to refuse them.\" (I am inclined to doubt this statement.)\n\nAt Changsha, during the recent serious riots, the inactivity of the 26th mixed brigade of regulars quartered there is significant. His Majesty's consul-general at Hankow reported that \"soldiers, often in far greater number than the rioters, watched the work of destruction without moving a finger, till Friday evening (the second day of the riot), when two men, for sharing in the burning of the Standard Oil premises, were put to death and their heads exposed. The inactivity of the troops is ascribed to two of their number being beheaded for firing on the assailants of the governor's yamên.\"\n\nHis Majesty's consul at Changsha reported on the 18th April that “500 of the regular troops have deserted from barracks with their arms and ammunition, and their intentions are as yet unknown.\" He had, however, previously very justly remarked that \"seeing that soldiers were executed for firing on the mob, it is not surprising that they were not keen.\"\n\nThe above are the more striking instances of recent indiscipline, but do not by any means complete the list; minor cases, such as quarrels with the police and civil population, and strikes on the part of military students, &c., having been from time to time reported from various places.\n\nAs regards the causes underlying this laxity of discipline, from enquiries made during my tour, and information from various sources, both official and private, the impression left on my mind is that the following various specific causes have led to the present unsatisfactory state of things:\n\n1. Territorial Enlistment.--This has been a pet scheme with the War Office owing to its advantages in the matter of formation and training of reserves. The fact seems to have been somewhat overlooked at Peking that, with territorial enlistment, it cannot but happen that local popular sentiment will also, to a great extent, be the sentiment of the local soldiery,\n\n2. Conscription. This is being gradually introduced in a modified form, and is not everywhere welcomed.\n\n3. Incessant and Hard Work.--Incessant and hard work, both on parade and in the class-rooms, has been imposed on the soldiers of the regular army. The gymnastic training, especially, by which much store is set, contains many unnecessarily dangerous practices, whereby a number of men are annually more or less seriously injured. The Chinese army doctors, with whom I have spoken, very generally condemn many of these practices.\n\n4. Lack of Short Leave. This is a very general grievance, and one that might easily be remedied in territorially-recruited forces.\n\n5. Cases of Irregularity in the Issue of Pay.--Last year, as far as I could gather,\n\nPage 173",

Sir,\n\nPeking, June 2, 1910.\n\nIN my despatch No. 166 of the 21st May I indicated that, in my opinion, based on a careful study of the various despatches received from His Majesty's consular officers, the persons most deeply implicated in the recent outbreak at Changsha, and therefore most deserving of punishment, were the treasurer, Chuang Keng-liang; the customs taotai, Chu Yen-hsi; and three members of the gentry, Kung Hsien-chiao, Yang Kung, and Yeh Te-hui. I have the honour to enclose a short précis of the evidence in my possession against these five individuals.\n\nIn my telegram No. 105 of the 31st ultimo, I reported that a decree had been issued cashiering and degrading certain guilty officials and members of the gentry, and I now beg to enclose translation of a note communicating three decrees issued on the 27th ultimo, as well as a translation of a further decree issued on the 31st ultimo, containing the decisions of the Board of Civil Office as to the penalties to be awarded in the cases specially submitted to them.*\n\nThe decrees are based on a memorial presented by Jui Cheng, Viceroy of Hankow, and Yang Wen-ting, the Acting Governor of Hunan, who were, as I have previously stated, specially deputed to hold an enquiry into the causes and circumstances of the outbreak.\n\nThe punishments inflicted are as follows:-\n\nOf the officials, the Governor of Hunan, Ta'en Ch'un-ming; the treasurer, Chuang Keng-liang; the police taotai, Lai Cheng-yü; the customs taotai, Chu Yen-hsi, Captain Kuei Ling, Lieutenant Chou Chang-tai, Major P'ei Lin, and the magistrate, Chou T'eng, are cashiered; the Changsha magistrate, Yu Ping-yuan, and the Shan Hua magistrate, Kuo Chung-kuang, are cashiered and left at their posts. The judge, Chou Ju-ch'en, and the Changsha prefect, Wang Feng-ying, are degraded three steps and kept at their posts as an act of grace; while Colonel Yang Min-yüan, who, to judge from all the accounts received, really behaved well, loses his button.\n\nOf the gentry, Yang Kung and Yeh Te-hui are to be immediately cashiered and handed over to the strict surveillance of the local authorities, and Wang Hsien-chien and Kung Hsien-chiao are degraded five steps and transferred to other posts.\n\nIn my despatch No. 166 of the 21st ultimo I expressed the opinion that His Majesty's Government should insist on adequate punishment of the guilty officials and members of the gentry, though I have always felt that it would be far preferable that the Chinese Government should take the necessary action to this end on their own initiative without pressure from foreign Governments. This was the attitude I had taken up in the various informal conversations I have had with members of the Wai-wu Pu, and in reply I was informed that a strict and impartial investigation was being held, that the Prince Regent was taking the keenest personal interest in the matter, and that the guilty would be punished without respect to persons.\n\nI had intended to furnish the Wai-wu Pu privately with such evidence as I possessed, but when I came to sift it down and to separate facts from hearsay and generalities, I felt that I was not in a position to give them any reliable information which could not equally well be procured by the Chinese officials on the spot, especially as I knew that His Majesty's consul-general at Hankow had been in communication on the subject with the Viceroy.\n\nAs to the adequacy of the punishments, it is difficult for me, after my short residence in China, to form an opinion, but in comparing them with punishments inflicted under similar circumstances on previous occasions, we have to remember, firstly, that no foreign lives were sacrificed, and, secondly, that the Central Government are lamentably weak, and probably dare not deal more severely with the Changsha gentry. I notice that, out of the five individuals whom I considered as most to blame, four receive the severest penalty, viz., cashiering, which, of course, * Not printed.\n\n[2788 u-6]",

Sir,\n\nYunnan-fu, May 20, 1910.\n\nI HAVE the honour to forward to you herewith copy of an opium report for the four months ended the 30th April, 1910, which I am sending to His Majesty's chargé d'affaires at Peking.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nP.

Sir,\n\nConsul-General O'Brien-Butler to Mr. Max Müller.\n\nConfidential.)\n\nYunnan-fu, May 20, 1910.\n\nIN my opium report for December quarter, despatch No. 9 of the 8th February, I mentioned that the magistrate of P'ing-i had been deprived of his office and his button on account of his habitual disregard of the anti-opium regulations, and his connivance at the smuggling of opium across the border from Kweichow. From this town of P'ing-i the Rev. H. A. C. Allen writes under date of the 1st April\n\n\"It goes without saying that no opium is planted within 10 or 20 li of the city.* But it is well known that in the south of this magistracy quite a lot is grown. In the district of Huang-ni-ho, four days south of this, the ground is exceptionally good for growing opium, and possibly the district is warmer than here. Some three months ago our magistrate† made a tour of seventy days in his district, but chiefly in the aforementioned direction. I was told confidentially that a few days before he returned he sent on ahead four horse-loads of silver, and the head clerk who was with him one horse-load. This, spelt out in dollars, was given as 7,000 dollars and 1,000 dollars respectively. That this was altogether an exaggeration is more than probable; at the same time, I dare say his purse was heavier on returning than on his starting. He left a few days since in another direction. I was surprised to hear from a man whom I know, and at whose house I recently stayed 35 li from here, that there is some opium planted a couple of li from his place... This being a district bordering on Kweichow with good soil, it naturally affords a good opportunity for illicit growth. Opium smoking does not seem to have decreased much. It is everywhere in evidence, though the amount consumed is much less necessarily since the price is so high. An immense number of people swallow it who used to smoke it. It is a pity the Viceroy smokes, and that it is common knowledge on the street.'\n\nOn the 2nd March the Rev. S. Pollard, who had just arrived from a journey in the northern part of Yunnan, informed me that he had come across opium growing in some parts of T'ung-ch'uan prefecture. Runners had been sent to enquire into the matter, but they were well bribed to be silent, and the poppy was in flower when Mr. Pollard and some companion missionaries passed. Mr. Pollard added that in no other place did he see any trace of the poppy;\n\nSeveral travellers have informed me that they have seen opium growing in the portion of Yunnan north of the Yang-tsze.\n\nFrom Kweichow province I have received two letters. The Rev. C. Freeman\n\n* 3 li equal about 1 mile.\n\n†The successor of the official who was deprived of his office and his button.\n\n[2793 dd-2]",

        "content_text": "# DEATH OF HON. MR. WARREN BARNES\n\nSeldom has Hongkong been so deeply stirred as it was on Saturday night when the news became known that the Hon. Mr. Warren Delabere Barnes, Colonial Secretary, had expired that evening with startling suddenness on the Polo Ground at Causeway Bay. Mr. Barnes had taken part in a practice match on the ground, and as the last chukka was finished he rode up with the other players in answer to the bell. Before he reached the pavilion he was seen to fall upon the neck of his pony.\n\nAs he did not rise, the others, who included Surgeon Hastings, R.N., rushed to his assistance and were horrified to discover that he was dead. The shock to all present was great, and a painful impression was created when the tragic occurrence was reported in the city. The body was removed to the Government Civil Hospital. Heart failure was the cause of death.\n\nA dance which was to have been given by Lady Lugard at Government House on Saturday night was at once abandoned.\n\nThough Mr. Barnes had only been in Hongkong some three or four months, he had made for himself many friends who, with the general public, will regret his sudden and untimely death. In the short time in which he had been here, he proved himself a very capable official, and acquired a knowledge of local affairs which was remarkable. This was recognised by His Excellency the Governor, who had contemplated a journey to India to be present at the Durbar, leaving Mr. Barnes to administer the Government during his absence. In the Legislative Council, the late Colonial Secretary showed a good grasp of most matters which came up for discussion, and won the good opinion of members by his readiness and lucidity in debate. Moreover, his courteous manner charmed all, and this aspect of his personality endeared him to all with whom he came in contact both officially and socially.\n\nMr. Barnes was educated at King's College School and Pembroke College, Cambridge. He went to the Straits Settlements as a cadet in November, 1888, passing his final examination in Chinese in 1891. Two years later, he became Third Magistrate at Penang, and afterwards became acting Protector of Chinese in Perak. His next position was to the post of warden of mines in Perak, to which he was appointed in 1896, and three years later, he was transferred to Pahang as warden of mines, Protector of Chinese, and senior magistrate. In December, 1901, he was promoted to Penang as assistant Protector of Chinese, and two years afterwards, he was acting Commissioner of Lands and Mines in the Federated Malay States, which was followed by his selection to act as British Resident at Pahang. He was chosen in 1904 to discharge the duties of acting Protector of Chinese for the Straits Settlements and Federated Malay States.\n\n## THE FUNERAL\n\nThe funeral took place yesterday, the cortege passing the monument shortly after 4:30 p.m. The large and representative attendance bore testimony to the esteem and respect in which the deceased gentleman was held. The cortege, as it wound its way to the cemetery, was headed by the K.O.Y.L.I. band playing funeral marches. On either side of the hearse, which was laden with wreaths, walked four members of the Hongkong police and members of the Executive and Legislative Councils. Then followed His Excellency the Governor and other members of Council, Mr. C. Clementi (Assistant Colonial Secretary), the A.D.C's., the Consuls, a detachment of police, and a large number of naval and military officers, including Major-General Anderson, C.B., the Officer Commanding the Troops. The attendance included His Lordship Bishop Pozzoni, His Honour Mr. Justice Gompertz, Sir Paul Chater, C.M.G., Hon. Dr. J. M. Atkinson, Hon. Mr. E. A. Hewett, Hon. Mr. W. Chatham, C.M.G., Hon. Mr. A. W. Brewin, C.M.G., Hon. Mr. A. M. Thomson, Hon. Dr. Ho Kai, C.M.G., Hon. Mr. Wei Yuk, C.M.G., Hon. Mr. C. H. Ross, Hon. Mr. Edward Osborne, Hon. Mr. C. G. Alabaster, Messrs. J. M. Ede, J. H. Kemp, P. M. Hodgson, F. Hazeland, J. R. Wood, E. R. Hallifax, R. O. Hutchison, H. Nesbit, H. P. Tooker, T. L. Perkins, H. G. Fisher, H. R. Phelips, G. N. Orms, J. D. Lloyd, M. Breen, R. H. Crofton, E. S. Lindsey, A. H. Harris, N. J. Stabb, W. Dickson, C. D. Melbourne, J. W. Lee-Jones, David Wood, A. Shelton Hooper, H. J. Gedge, H. L. Dennys, H. W. Looker, G. K. Hall Brutton, F. Shellim, W. E.

Lambert, and many others, including Mr. Chan Kai Ming and other representative Chinese residents.\n\nThe police bore the body to the Civil Service section of the cemetery, and the remains were laid to rest on a little plateau surrounded by pine and palm trees. The funeral service was conducted by His Lordship the Bishop of Victoria, assisted by the Rev. F. T. Johnson (Colonial Chaplain). Wreaths were sent by Major-General and Mrs. C. A. Anderson, Mr. and Mrs. N. J. Stabb, the Governor, Mr. and Mrs. C. Lauder, the Captain Superintendent and the members of the Police Force, the Superintendent, officers, and members of the Fire Brigade, the officers of the Army Service Corps, the officers of the R.G.A., the officers of the K.O.Y.L.I., His Honour Mr. H.

        "content_text": "# SOTTO CASE\n## 299 THE DEFENDANT DISCHARGED\n### \"1 SUCCEEDS ON THE PLEA OF RES JUDICATA\n\nof the crime of abduction at Cebu. United States.\n\nWith regard to Section 16 and which had each of won in 1821 as made by Congress, all the military civil and judicial powers exercised by the officers of the existing Government should be vested in such persons and exercised in such manner as the President should direct. The Act of Congress with respect to Florida passed on March 30th, 1822, Congress passed the Act establishing a territorial Government in Florida (chapter 13 of the first session of the 17th Congress). Florida continued to be a territory until 1845, when it was admitted to the Union. Roughly speaking, in the case in which the Government of a foreign Colony is in a British Colony, there is an express distinction made by the Act. The section is so drafted that it seems doubtful whether the requisition could be made to the Secretary of State by the diplomatic representative in England.\n\nThe marginal note to this paragraph is \"Foreign Colonies,\" and Sir Francis Piggott makes it very clear that the words in Section 25 \"every Colony, dependency, and constituent part of a Foreign State\" refer to Foreign Colonies. The Philippine Islands were first acquired from Spain by military occupation and finally by the Treaty of Paris. After the Treaty of Paris and until March 2nd, 1901, the source of Government in the Philippines was the President of the United States. On the last date Congress passed an Act by way of a proviso in an Appropriation Bill, chapter 803 of the 56th Congress, which is commonly known as the Spooner Amendment, providing that all military, civil and judicial powers necessary to govern the Philippines should until otherwise provided by Congress be vested in such persons and exercised in such manner as the President should direct.\n\nAt this point, I would call attention to the fact that while the Treaty of Friendship of 1819 provided for the future admission to citizenship of the inhabitants of Florida, the Treaty of Paris specifically left the determination of civil rights and political status of the native inhabitants of the ceded territory to Congress. On July 1st, 1902, an Act was approved temporarily to provide for the administration of the affairs of Civil Government in the Philippine Islands and for other purposes (chapter 1369 of the first session of the 57th Congress). The Philippines are still governed under the provisions of that Act.\n\nThe defendant, Vicente Sotto, was charged before me under the Extradition Act 1870 of being convicted of the commission of the crime of abduction at Cebu in the Philippine Islands within the jurisdiction of the United States of America. Mr. Hodgson, Crown Solicitor, appeared for the prosecution and Mr. Brutton for the defence. At the conclusion of the case for the prosecution, Mr. Brutton, solicitor for the defendant, applied for the discharge of the defendant on the grounds that the Crown had not made out their case against the defendant.\n\nThe first ground alleged was that the prosecution had not proved that the Philippine Islands were a constituent part of the United States. The second point was that the documents were not properly authenticated. The third was that there was no evidence of an extraditable crime, and the fourth was that under Section 6 of the Habeas Corpus Act the matter was res judicata. The fifth point was that the Orders in Council have not been proved. This last point was afterwards abandoned by the defence.\n\nI should here mention that the present defendant was charged in April, 1912, with respect to extradition proceedings. The offence, which was that of abduction, was exactly the same as the present charge. It was held with respect to the Magistrate (Mr. E. A. Irving) made an order committing him. The defendant was then brought up on a Writ of Habeas Corpus and discharged by the Full Court. The case is reported in the Hongkong Law Reports, Vol. VII., p.139.\n\n## Evidence Given at the Trial\nMr. T. C. Welsh, Assistant Executive Secretary of the Philippine Islands, was called as a witness for the prosecution. His evidence as to the political status of the Philippine Islands in relation to the United States was as follows:\n\nThe Federal Republic, originally consisting of thirteen individual States which was sovereign and all of which at the time of the adoption of the Constitution were united in a confederacy, the central government of which operated only upon the States and not upon the citizens. By the adoption of the constitution a central government was formed which the individual States yielded their attributes of sovereignty with respect to foreign relations and to some extent with respect to their relations with each other, each retaining its sovereignty with respect to the regulation of its internal affairs.\n\nBy the constitution also the Federal Government obtained full powers and direct sovereignty over the citizens of the several States. About the time that the constitution was adopted there was ceded by the several States to the United States a large amount of territory the title to which was claimed by the States. By the constitution the Congress was given power to regulate and govern the territory and other property of the United States and also the power to declare war. The treaty making power was placed in the hands of the President subject to confirmation by the Senate, which is the Upper House of Congress.\n\nCongress has from time to time provided various forms of government for the territory which I have mentioned as well as for other territory which had come into the possession of the United States by treaty or by the voluntary offer of the inhabitants of such territory. The instances of this are sufficiently numerous to have established a customary rule of practice with regard to the treatment of such territory. The case of Florida, which was instanced in the cross-examination of Mr. Anderson, furnishes an early example of the practice which has obtained.\n\nIn that case, after the cession by Spain the President succeeded the King of Spain as the source of government until such time as Congress should exercise its constitutional function of providing a Government of its own devising further in accordance with the United States Constitution and the Treaty, which provided that the inhabitants should be admitted to the privileges of citizens of the United States.\n\nI would call attention to the fact that while the Treaty of Paris specifically left the determination of civil rights and political status of the native inhabitants of the ceded territory to Congress. Congress has among other things legislated as to the status of the inhabitants of the Philippines, granting them what is called Philippine citizenship and authorising the naturalisation into Philippine citizenship; it has extended to the Philippines most of the provisions of the Bill of Rights and has extended other constitutional provisions.\n\nBy Exhibit 13 it extended to the Philippine Islands the provisions of the Revised Statutes with respect to extradition between the United States and foreign countries, and it follows that the provision of Article VI. of the Constitution, respecting the force of treaties, are in vigour in the Philippines at least to the extent of extradition.\n\nMr. Brutton first referred me to Section 25 of the Act. Section 25 of the Act is as follows:- \"25.-For the purpose of this Act, every colony, dependency, and constituent part of a foreign State, and every vessel of that State, shall (except where expressly mentioned as distinct in this Act) be deemed to be within the jurisdiction of and to be part of such foreign State.\"\n\nMr. Brutton then stated \"The Philippine Islands are not a Colony or dependency, therefore the prosecution must prove that the Philippine Islands are a constituent part of the United States.\" Mr. Anderson, Consul General of the United States, had given evidence to the effect that the Philippine Islands were neither a dependency nor a Colony.\n\nThe question which I have to decide is what is the construction to be placed on Section 25 of the Act, and also what is its scope and object. I am of opinion that the words Colony, dependency and constituent part of a Foreign State refer to dependencies and to dependencies alone and do not refer in any way to the parent Foreign State.\n\nIf you look at the last line of the section we find these words \"to be part of such Foreign State.\" If the words \"constituent part of a Foreign State\" referred to the parent Foreign State it would not be deemed to be part of such Foreign State. The scope and object of the section is to make it quite clear that an Foreign State includes dependencies.\n\nSir Francis Piggott in his work on Extradition refers to Section 25 in three places, on pages 164, 166 and 179. Pages 164 and 166 refer to that portion of Section 25 which relates to foreign ships. The first paragraph, on page 179 is, as follows:-\n\n## Evidence of Consul General Anderson\nOn cross-examination on the 16th June, 1913: \n\n...\n\nPage 300\nPage 301",

        "content_text": "## Enclosure\n\nQ. Has there been any Act of Congress incorporating the Philippine Islands into the United States?\n\nA. There has been no Act giving the Philippines a general status other than that of an unorganised territory except, in my opinion, that certain Acts which extend certain laws would apply to foreign dependencies and to foreign dependencies alone. I am of opinion that it is not necessary for the prosecution to prove that the Philippine Islands are part of the United States and that they are also within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States.\n\nQ. Has there been any Act of Congress definitely making the Philippine Islands a part of the United States?\n\nA. There has, with certain limitations.\n\nQ. What are those limitations?\n\nA. The Sovereignty of the United States is exercised over territory which has various relations to the Sovereignty. Among the classes of territory covered by this Sovereignty are the States themselves which have a direct voice in the Government of themselves and of the territories of the United States. Another class are the organized territories which have no direct voice in the Government of the country as a whole and have a limited voice in their own Government. Both classes of territories are governed directly or indirectly by the Congress of the United States. Congress extends to these territories such political powers and such laws of the United States as it wishes to extend. The full and absolute sovereignty over these territories lies in Congress.\n\nThe Act of 1870 is singularly ill-arranged. It nowhere enacts in terms that the persons charged with certain offences may be surrendered. This, which is the leading object of the Act, is effected in the following roundabout way. Section 6 enacts that \"where this Act applies in the case of any foreign State, every Fugitive Criminal of that State who is in England shall be liable to be apprehended and surrendered.\" Section 26 defines a \"fugitive criminal\" to mean a person accused of an \"extradition crime,\" and is also one of the crimes to be found in the Extradition Convention signed at Washington on the 12th July, 1889. The documents put in were Exhibits 2 and 3. Exhibit 2 was the requisition. Exhibit 3 consisted of 8 documents and were marked 3 to 3h.\n\nMr. Islands in the same way. The Government, and a third class is that of the unorganized territories which have no voice in the Central Government and have a very limited voice (if any) in their own Government.\n\nEvidence was put forward by the defence relating to the question of citizenship, naturalization, the wording of certain treaties and the construction to be placed thereon and other questions. Having regard to my views as to the construction to be placed on the Act, I am of opinion that these questions are not relevant to the issue before the Court. My decision with regard to Point 1 is therefore against the defendant.\n\nI shall now deal with the second and third points. The second point was that documents were not properly authenticated and the third point was that there was no evidence of an extradition crime. These two points were taken together. Mr. Brutton admitted that if the documents were properly authenticated there was on the face of such documents a sufficient prima facie case made out against the defendant with respect to the crime of abduction.\n\nThe documents put in were Exhibits 2 and 3. Exhibit 2 was a requisition by the Consul-General of the United States in Hongkong upon the Hongkong Government for the Extradition of the defendant to the Philippine Islands. Documents 3a to 3h were a copy of a record of conviction of the defendant and order of arrest.\n\nExhibit 3a purports to be a copy of the judgment of conviction of the defendant of the crime of abduction in the Court of First Instance for the Eleventh Judicial District of the Philippine Islands at Cebu on the 21st December, 1906. Exhibit 3b purports to be a copy of the final judgment of the Supreme Court of the Philippine Islands. Exhibit 3c purports to be a copy of the sentence of the said Supreme Court upon the said last-named judgment given December 3rd, 1907. Exhibit 3d purports to be a certificate by the Chief Justice of the said Supreme Court under the seal of the said Court and over the signature of the Chief Justice of the said Court. Exhibit 3e purports to be a certificate by the Executive Secretary for the Philippine Islands under the Great Seal of the Philippine Islands and over the signature of Frank W. Carpenter, Executive Secretary of the Philippine Islands. Exhibit 3f purports to be an order of arrest issued by the Judge of the Court of First Instance for the district aforesaid for the apprehension of the defendant dated January 17th, 1913, signed by Adolph Wislizenus, Judge of the said district, and under the seal of the said Court. Exhibit 3g purports to be a return by the Sheriff of the Province of Cebu upon the said order of arrest sworn to by the Sheriff on the 17th day of January, 1913, before the said Judge under the seal of the said Court.\n\nThe Certificate to Exhibit 3a is not signed. It is a copy. There is no seal on 3a, and 3b is not signed nor is it sealed. The rest of the documents are signed and sealed. Exhibit 3d, which is the certificate of the Chief Justice, is as follows:— \n\n\"I, Cayetano S. Arellano, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the Philippine Islands, do hereby certify that the foregoing is a true, perfect, correct and complete copy of the sentence by the Court of First Instance...\"\n\nI am satisfied on the evidence which has been adduced by the prosecution that the Philippine Islands are an integral part of the United States. Mr. Anderson also gave evidence as follows:-\"I gave evidence in the Police Court (in the former proceedings) that the Philippine Islands was not a Colony nor dependency, but that it was a constituent part of the United States of America for Extradition purposes.\"\n\nThe requisition in this case was therefore rightly made by him as a Consul-General of the United States.\n\nI would also call attention to Section X. of the Ashburton Treaty 1842, which is as follows:—\"X. It is agreed that Her Britannic Majesty and the United States shall upon mutual requisitions by them respectively made deliver up to Justice all persons who being charged with the crime of murder or assault with intent to commit murder or piracy or arson or robbery or forgery or utterance of forged papers committed within the jurisdiction of either shall seek any asylum or shall be found upon the territories of the other.\"",

        "content_text": "## Supreme Court, Philippine Islands\n\n**Exhibit 3**\n\nUnited States of America, Government of the Philippine Islands.\n\nSection 6 of the Habeas Corpus Act (31 Car, 2, C2) is as follows:-\n\n\"And for the prevention of unjust vexation by reiterated commitments for the same offence; be it enacted by the authority aforesaid that no person or persons which shall be delivered or set at large upon any Habeas Corpus shall at any time hereafter be again imprisoned or committed for the same offence by any person or persons whatsoever, other than by the legal order and process of such Court wherein he or they shall be bound by recognizance to appear or other Court having jurisdiction of the cause.\"\n\nI was referred by Mr. Brutton to the following head note in the case of Regina v. Governor of Brixton Prison, ex parte Stallmann. The head note is as follows:-\n\n\"In the case aforesaid that no person or persons which a convicted fugitive the conviction shall be delivered or set at large upon any Habeas Corpus shall at any time hereafter be again imprisoned or committed for the same offence by any person or persons whatsoever... it is essential that each sheet of the record should be certified; unless this is done the Court has no evidence of the crime having been committed and cannot know whether the essential condition that the act must also be a crime by the law of the Colony is fulfilled.\"\n\nIn the body of the judgment, Sir Francis Piggott expresses himself thus:-\n\n\"The record starts with a sealed document signed by the Governor-General of the Philippines and ends with a sealed certificate of the Chief Justice, but in between there are a number of loose sheets which are not certified and consequently sheets might have been extracted and extraneous sheets might have been introduced.\"\n\nIt is most important that every sheet should be certified.\n\nI shall now refer to Section 15, Sub-section 3 of the Act of 1870. This sub-section reads as follows:-\n\n\"If the certificate of the judicial document stating the fact of conviction purports to be certified by a judge, magistrate or officer of the Foreign State where the conviction took place.\"\n\nI am of opinion that the certificate of the Chief Justice of the Philippine Islands (Exhibit 3) is a sufficient certificate within the meaning of this sub-section.\n\nAfter Sub-section 3, Section 15 goes on as follows:-\n\n\"And if in every case the warrants, depositions, statements, copies, certificates and judicial documents (as the case may be) are authenticated by the oath of some witness.\"\n\nMr. Welsh was examined in chief. He was asked:-\n\n\"Have you examined 3a, 3b and 3c with the official Records?\" He gave the answer:-\n\n\"I have examined them and they are true copies of such Record.\"\n\nI was also referred to the case of Kwok A Sing, L.R. 5 P.C. 179. In Kwok A Sing's case, the Privy Council held that the first warrant of committal was illegal and beyond the jurisdiction of the Magistrate. Mellish L.J. on page 210 states as follows:-\n\n\"On the whole, therefore, they are of opinion that the warrant by which the Magistrate authorized the Governor to deliver Kwok A Sing to the Chinese Authorities was illegal.\"\n\nBy Section 10 of the Extradition Act 1870, the Police Magistrate has authority to commit a foreign criminal if the foreign warrant authorizing his arrest is duly authenticated: and by Section 26, warrant is defined in the case of any Foreign State to include any judicial document authorizing the arrest of the person accused of crime.\n\nMaxwell on Statute, on page 120, deals with this subject thus:-\n\n\"So, the 6th Section of the Habeas Corpus Act which for the prevention of unjust vexation by reiterated commitments for the same offence except by the legal order and process of such Court wherein he is bound by recognizance to appear or other Court having jurisdiction in the cause would not purport to extend to a case when the discharge was made on the ground that the commitment was made without jurisdiction by the Judge.\"\n\nMaxwell also gives the example of Lord Brougham's Act, 14 and 15 Vict., C 99, which requires that a foreign judgment itself must be sealed, was passed in 1851. The Extradition Act (33 and 34 Vict., C 52), which does not require that a foreign judgment itself should be sealed, was passed in 1870, nineteen years after the passing of Lord Brougham's Act.\n\n## Certificate\n\nI, Frank W. Carpenter, Executive Secretary for the Philippine Islands, do hereby certify that Cayetano S. Arellano, whose name appears signed to the foregoing certificate made by him, is Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the Philippine Islands duly appointed, qualified, commissioned and acting as such; that the said Supreme Court is a Court of Record: that all of his official acts are entitled to full faith and credit; that his foregoing certificate is in due form, that his signature thereto is genuine and the seal attached thereto is the seal of the said Court.\n\nGiven under my hand and under the great seal of the Government of the Philippine Islands at the City of Manila this twenty-eighth day of May, A.D. nineteen hundred and thirteen.\n\n(Signed) **FRANK W. CARPENTER**,  \nExecutive Secretary for the Philippine Islands.\n\n## Supreme Court, Philippine Islands\n\n(Signed) **C. S. ARELLANO**,  \nChief Justice.\n\n**Exhibit 3** is as follows:-\n\n| Description | Details |\n| --- | --- |\n| Document Start | Signed by the Governor-General of the Philippines |\n| Document End | Sealed certificate of the Chief Justice |\n| Sheets in Between | Number of loose sheets, not certified |\n\nThe said red silk tape is carried from Exhibit 3d to Exhibit 3e and a gold seal is placed over the red silk tape in Exhibit 3. On this gold seal is embossed the Great Seal of the Philippine Islands. Exhibit 3d and 3e are also joined together at the top by means of a piece of red silk tape.\n\nI would especially call attention to the words \"same offence.\" These words are more stringent than the rule laid down with respect to the common law plea of autrefois acquit, which is that the acquittal was on the merits.\n\nI am therefore of opinion that it is not necessary that such documents should be sealed provided that the mandate and order of the said Supreme Court directing the execution of the said decree of the Court have been complied with.\n\nI find that the charges made against the prisoner and the decision of the Criminal Court of first instance, being cause No. 3,774 on the docket of the Supreme Court on Appeal, that proceedings should be taken against Vicente Sotto, have duly authenticated within the meaning of Section 15 of the Extradition Act 1870.\n\nAnd I also find that Vicente Sotto has not filed any bond nor undertaking in the Supreme Court of the Philippine Islands to stay the execution of the said sentence, and such sentence is in full force and effect.\n\nMy finding with respect to points 2 and 3 is therefore against the defendant.\n\nI shall now deal with the 4th point.\n\nMr. Justice Manisty stated in his judgment: \"It is, in my opinion, an original document, not a copy.\"\n\nThe fourth point was that by Section 8 of the Habeas Corpus Act, the matter was res judicata.\n\nIn witness whereof, I hereunto sign my name and affix the seal of the Court this 5th day of December, nineteen hundred and twelve.\n\n(Signed) **C. S. ARELLANO**,  \nChief Justice.  \nSupreme Court, Philippine Islands.",

        "content_text": "#180\n\nthem for murder and piracy was not a legal warrant and one beyond his jurisdiction, and that therefore the first order of the Lord Chief Justice for the release of Kwok A Sing was right and ought to be affirmed.\" In Stallmann's case, which was an Extradition case, it was also held that the warrant upon the inquiry before the Magistrate with respect to the first committal was itself invalid and the Court ordered the applicant to be set at liberty. In both Kwok A Sing's case and Stallmann's case it was decided that the second committal could be made. The warrant of committal by Mr. Irving was a valid order and was within his jurisdiction. The offence in the present case is exactly the same offence as in the case before Mr. Irving.\n\nI was referred by Mr. Hodgson, Crown Solicitor, to two decisions with respect to a writ of Habeas Corpus in Extradition proceedings. The first of the two cases referred to by Mr. Hodgson was in re Harsha, American and English Annotated cases, Vol. VI., 496. This is a Canadian case and was decided in 1906. The head note in this case is as follows:- \"Where a person has been arrested in Extradition proceedings and released on habeas corpus on the ground that there is no proper evidence showing the commission of the alleged offence or identifying the alleged forged document he may be re-arrested in subsequent extradition proceedings for the same offence upon the discovery of further and new evidence to supply the deficiencies.\"\n\n\"The doctrine of res judicata, former jeopardy, and autrefois acquit are not applicable to extradition proceedings.\"\n\n\"The English Habeas Corpus Act (31 Charles II., C2, paragraph 6) does not apply to extradition proceedings.\"\n\nOur law is different. The Habeas Corpus Act does apply to extradition proceedings. The second habeas corpus in Stallmann's case was under Section 6 of the Habeas Corpus Act. The prisoner was discharged with respect to the first proceedings by the High Court of Calcutta pursuant to a section in the Indian Code of Civil Procedure 1888, which is similar to habeas corpus proceedings. In Kwok A Sing's case the second habeas corpus was under the Act. It does not state in the report whether the first habeas corpus was under the Act or at Common Law. It merely used the words \"habeas corpus.\" I might mention that the first committal was in respect of extradition proceedings. In the second committal Kwok A Sing was to take his trial at the Supreme Court of Hongkong on a charge of piracy jure gentium. In re parte Woodhall (20 Q.B.D. 827) it was decided by the Court of Appeal that extradition was a criminal matter. This was in 1888, and it was the first time that any of our Courts of Law had decided that extradition was a criminal matter. The next case referred to by Mr. Hodgson was in re Kelly 26 Federal reporter, p852. This is an American case and was decided in 1886. The head note is as follows:\n\n\"Where a party accused of crime has been arrested and had an examination before commissioner duly appointed and became discharged by order of the Executive on the ground that the evidence was not sufficient to justify his extradition for the crime charged, he MAY be again arrested for the same offence and compelled to submit to a second examination without the issuance of a second mandate by the Executive.\n\nIf the commissioner should commit the prisoner upon the second examination and it should be apparent that he had no clearer or more convincing testimony as to the truth of the charge than was presented at the former examination, the circuit court has power to review his testimony and correct his error.\"\n\nWith respect to the above case, I need only say that it has no connection with the present case, which relates solely to Section 6 of the Habeas Corpus Act.\n\nAs I have just stated, my decision in Point 4 is given in favour of the defendant, having regard solely to the construction to be placed on Section 6 of the Habeas Corpus Act. It is the same offence in the two cases. The order in the first case was a valid order and within the jurisdiction of the committing Magistrate. Under these circumstances, the section states that such person shall not be again imprisoned or committed. My decision with respect to Point 4 is therefore in favour of the defendant. I order the defendant to be discharged.\n\nAt the conclusion of the reading of the decision the Crown Solicitor asked:\n\n\"Do I understand that in a nutshell your judgment is in favour of the Crown, but that the matter is *res judicata*, and you order the defendant's discharge, on that point?\"\n\nMr. Hazeland-Yes.\n\n(To Mr. Brutton)-\"You were going to raise a point about a political crime.\"\n\nMr. Brutton-\"Not now, your Worship.\"\n\nMr. Hazeland (to the Crown Solicitor)-\"Are you going to file an application for a case stated?\"\n\nMr. Hodgson-\"I do not know yet. I must consider that.\"\n\nMr. Brutton-\"Then in that case I hope your Worship will hear me on the point that there can be no appeal.\"",

        "content_text": "THE CHUNG SAU NAM EXTRADITION CASE.\n\nJUDGMENT OF THE FULL COURT.\n\nAt the Full Court yesterday the Chief Justice, Sir Wm. Rees Davies, K.C., who sat with Mr. H. H. J. Gompertz (Puisne Judge), gave judgment in the motion heard by the Full Court in connection with the alleged embezzlement of $150,000, the property of the Kwangtung Government, by Chung Sau Nam.\n\nSir Francis Piggott, along with Mr. Alabaster (instructed by Mr. W. B. Hind and Mr. G. K. Hall Brutton), made application for a writ of Habeas Corpus, arising out of the Magistrate's decision in connection with the trial, and the application was opposed for the Crown by Mr. E. H. Sharp, K.C., Mr. Eldon Potter, and Mr. F. C. Jenkin (instructed by Mr. R. F. C. Master, of Messrs. Johnson, Stokes & Master).\n\nHis Lordship the Chief Justice delivered the following judgment:—\n\nIn the matter of Chung Sau Nam, a person detained in Victoria Gaol. These proceedings in Habeas Corpus are directed against a committal by a Police Magistrate of this Colony of the fugitive criminal for extradition under Section 10 of the Chinese Extradition Ordinance 1889. That Section is based on Section 10 of the Extradition Act of 1870.\n\nBefore coming to the facts, it is desirable to state the position of this Court in relation to the decision of the Magistrate under the Section nominated. There are abundant authorities to show that this Court is not a Court of Appeal from the Magistrate's decision on the evidence. The Court can only on an application for Habeas Corpus entertain the question of the jurisdiction of the Magistrate to commit, namely, whether the crime is an extradition crime or whether it is of a political character and whether there was any evidence upon which the Magistrate can commit (ex parte Siletti 18 T.L.R., 771, and see also R. v. Guerin, 60 L.T. 535; Buyuet, 29 L.T., 41; R. v. Maurer, 10 Q.B.D., 513; In re Arton, 1896, 1 Q.B., at 518).\n\nThe fugitive at the time of the alleged offences was superintendent (\"Kam Li\") of the Canton Treasury and Chan Kwing-ming was then Governor-General (Tutuh). On 4th August the Tutuh issued an order in Chinese under his signature addressed to the Commissioner of Finance, Treasury, the translation of which is as follows:-\n\n\"Please at once pay in foreign notes two hundred and fifty thousand dollars and remit to Shanghai to be sent in turn to Nanking to be used as Military expenditure. This is the order.\"\n\nThis order was received by the fugitive, Chung Sau Nam, was brought by him to the Treasury and $150,000 was paid to him and his receipt and seal or chop affixed to the order. There was also a paying-out slip made out by an official of the Treasury which was sealed or chopped by the fugitive. The reason for the order being honoured to the extent of $150,000 and not $250,000 is that there was not sufficient money in the Treasury to meet it. The payment was made by two cheques, one on the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank at Canton for $100,000 and the other for $50,000 on the International Bank at Canton. It appears, then, from the affidavit of the fugitive dated 18th October, 1919, and made in a civil action pending, that he subsequently obtained drafts on Hongkong and International Bank in Shanghai for the two sums of money from branches of the two Banks.",

        "content_text": "Extract from the H.K. Daily Press of 23rd July, 1914, Page 9\n\n236 LATE SIR KAI HO KAI\n\nAT THE HAPPY VALLEY.\n\nThe funeral of the late Sir Kai Ho Kai, M.D., took place at the Protestant Cemetery, Happy Valley, last evening, and was a manifestation of sincere sympathy. A very large number of European and Chinese residents assembled to pay their last tribute, and these formed in procession behind the mourners.\n\nAt the grave there were over twenty pall-bearers, namely, Messrs. Li Yuk Tong, U Siu Yuen Fai, Yung Sing Kiu, Kwok Siu Lau, Mok Kam Cheung, Li Po Kwai, Ng Kwok Hing, Tam Pak Siu, Chan Kang U, Yung Sai Ngan, Chan Han, P. K. Kwok, Leung Hing Kwai, Cheung Sum Woo, Chan Chen Fan, Lam Heung Sun, Kam Tie Hing, Fung Pak Hung, and Leung Heung Tin, and Drs. Thomas, Jew Hawk, Au Shi Cham, and Kwan Sui Yin.\n\nThe Rev. T. W. Pearce, of the London Missionary Society, who was a great personal friend of the deceased, and was associated with him in many of his philanthropic, charitable and educational works, conducted the service in the small Church at the Cemetery, and also officiated at the graveside.\n\nThere were over 300 wreaths, sent by all sections of the community. Among them were tributes from H.E. Sir Henry May, the Order of the K.C.M.G., the Hongkong Legislative Council, Tung Wah Hospital, Po Leung Kuk, District Watchmen's Committee, Chinese Club, Hongkong Chamber of Commerce, Chinese Chamber of Commerce, China Merchants Steam Navigation Co., Chinese Y.M.C.A., St. Stephen's College, St. Paul's College, Alice Memorial and Nethersole Hospitals.\n\nMany telegrams from various parts of China, and letters from prominent residents in the Colony have been received by Lady Ho Kai, expressing sympathy.\n\nAmong those present at the graveside were H.E. Sir Henry May (Governor), Sir Paul Chater, C.M.G., Hon. Mr. Wei Yuk, C.M.G., Hon. Mr. A. F. Churchill, Hon. Mr. C. McIntosh (Captain Superintendent of Police), Hon. Mr. H. E. Pollock, K.C., Hon. Mr. Hewett, C.M.G., and Hon. Mr. Lau Tak Fak. Members of the Bench and Bar, including Hon. Mr. H. H. J. Gompertz (Chief Justice), Mr. Justice Hazeland (Puisne Judge), Mr. J. H. Kemp (Attorney-General), Mr. J. R. Wood (First Magistrate), Messrs. J. F. Sharp, K.C., Eldon Potter, Easter, and F. C. Jenkin; Lieut. Barnett, Dr. Voretszch (General Officer Commanding), members of the Hongkong University, Dr. Francis Clark, Kerr, Messrs. T. K. Dealy, R. O. P. Borrow, D. W. Tratman, Lee Jones, King, T. F. Claxton, and A. P. Professor Digby and Mr. A. C. H. Smith (representing Hongkong University), Capt. Mears, W. L. Pattenden, J. Rodger, Grist, H. K. Woo (representing Mr. Hall Brutton's office), A. H. Vaughan, and Miss Rayner (Matron, Maternity Hospital).\n\nNearly all the leading Chinese were either present in person or were represented, together with the Directorates of the Tung Wah Hospital, the Po Leung Kuk, and the District Watchmen's Committee. Several district watchmen attended in uniform.\n\nA large number of students from the University and St. Stephen's College were also present.\n\nTRIBUTES FROM THE BAR AND BENCH.\n\nAt the Supreme Court yesterday, a striking tribute was paid to the esteem in which the deceased Knight was held by the Bench and Bar.\n\nThe Hon. Mr. H. E. Pollock, K.C., said:—My Lords, I hope I may be permitted, as senior member of the Bar, and speaking on behalf of both branches of the legal profession, to add a few words to those which have just fallen from the learned Attorney-General.\n\nThe late Sir Kai Ho Kai, for many years, both directly and indirectly, influenced the statute law which your Lordships and the Courts of this Colony administer. For several years he was a member of the Hongkong Bar. The fact of that membership is the occasion of my addressing you now, and my object in doing so is to express, on behalf of the members of the Bar and the officers of the legal departments of this Colonial Service, their deep regret and grief at his death.\n\nWhen I first arrived in the Colony in 1888, Sir Kai Ho Kai was still actively engaged in the profession of a barrister, and I can well remember the keenness and activity and ability which he displayed in the conduct of the various cases in which he was engaged.\n\nOf late years he has seldom appeared in the Courts, but confined his energies almost entirely to matters of public interest in the Colony. For several years upon the Legislative Council, I can bear witness to the patience and diligence which he brought to bear upon the study of the various measures brought forward by the Government from time to time with a view to amendment and improvement.\n\nHis record of services rendered in the Colony, covering so many fields of varied public interests, is one of which any man might well be proud, and it is only fitting that we should testify on this occasion to the fact that he devoted the best of his strength during the best years of his life to the promotion of measures for the public interest and for the public welfare of the Colony.\n\nThe Hon. Attorney-General said:—The occasion of this sitting of the Court is one that we might have hoped would be long deferred, for in the ordinary course of things Sir Kai Ho Kai might well have looked forward to many more years of life and usefulness.\n\nThe Chief Justice:-We are gathered together to-day to do honour to the memory of a distinguished member of our profession. After an academic career of the most brilliant promise, he was admitted to the Bar of this Colony in 1882, and had he desired he would undoubtedly have attained to the highest eminence in the career he had chosen.\n\nBut the history of our profession abounds with instances of the disinterestedness of its sons. Sir Kai Ho Kai felt that the world had claims upon him, and he devoted himself with an admirable single-mindedness to the services of his fellow men.\n\nHis labours on behalf of this Colony, the land of his adoption, were recognised by His Majesty the King, who conferred upon him not only the Most Distinguished Order of St. Michael and St. George, but also the dignity of Knighthood.\n\nHe worked for many years for the regeneration of his native land, and those responsible for the destinies of China have freely availed themselves of his sagacious and broad-minded counsel, and his eminent moderation and common-sense.\n\nPage 237",

L.), 1911.\n\n## COMMITTEE:\n**Mr. DAN SMITH, Chairman.**  \n**Mr. NEVILLE ASPRAY.**  \n**Mr. GEO. S. BURTON.**  \n**Mr. WILLIAM MILES.**\n\n1. The above Bill, which was introduced into the House of Lords on the 8th March, 1911, is, with but very slight alteration, a re-production of the Professional Accountants Bill of 1909, which is dealt with in detail by the annexed Report issued thereon by the Central Association of Accountants in August, 1909.\n\n2. The Bill of 1909 came before the House of Lords for second reading on the 13th July, 1909, when Lord Saltoun moved an amendment that it be read a second time that day six months. A quorum not being present, the debate was adjourned and resumed on the 19th July, 1909, when on the motion of Lord Halsbury it was resolved that the second reading be adjourned sine die. By leave of the House of Lords the Bill was formally withdrawn on the 6th October, 1909.\n\n3. The principal differences in the present Bill are as follows:-\n   - (a) That the Scottish and Irish Societies are now included in the Bill, no doubt for the purpose of obviating the strong opposition offered by the Scottish bodies to the previous Bill.\n   - (b) That in lieu of a single Professional Accountants Committee being established to regulate the profession, it is proposed to form three Committees, one for England and Wales, one for Scotland, and one for Ireland.\n   - (c) That the question of Fees and Charges under the Act shall be subject to the approval of the Board of Trade, doubtless in accordance with the recommendation made by the Central Association of Accountants in their Report annexed.\n\nPractically every argument and objection contained in the annexed Report in relation to the 1909 Bill applies with equal force to the proposed new measure, and it is desired to repeat and emphasize the same with reference to the present Bill.\n\n4. The promoters continue to adopt the course of wilfully ignoring the existence and rights of the Central Association of Accountants, although its membership exceeds in the aggregate that of the three Scottish and one Irish Societies named in the Bill, whose existence is deemed sufficient to warrant the establishment of separate Committees for Scotland and Ireland.\n\n5. The annexed Report was immediately after its publication widely circulated, its full text being published in the \"Associated Accountants' Journal\" (the official organ of the Central Association of Accountants), and in the \"Accountant\" (the organ of \"Chartered Accountants\"), and although more than eighteen months have elapsed since the publication of the Report, no attempt has been made to seriously refute a single statement that it contains, or answer any of the temperate but weighty arguments therein put forward.",

        "content_text": "# members a monopoly in the practice of accountancy. As evidence of this it may be mentioned that on the 25th May, 1893, at a General Meeting of the members of the Institute, it was formally resolved:- \n\n**That it is desirable to promote legislation which shall restrict public accountancy to existing or future chartered accountants.\"** \n\nThe Society of Incorporated Accountants and Auditors, which came into existence five years after the granting of the Charter, was for many years treated with contempt by the Institute, until at length it was compelled to admit the right of the Society to exist and be deserving of recognition as a lawful, efficient, and reputable professional body. \n\nAs a further example of the spirit of the Institute towards persons outside its portals, it may be mentioned that at the inception of the Central Association of Accountants, the Institute issued a Writ against the Signatories to the Memorandum of Association of the Central Association, and applied to the Court of Chancery for an injunction to restrain its incorporation. The application was heard by Mr. Justice Kekewich on the 23rd June, 1905, when the motion was dismissed, with costs against the Institute. Mr. Justice Kekewich, in the course of his judgment, stated that the evidence adduced by the Institute in support of their claim was very flimsy as to the name of the Association being likely to induce confusion, and that the Institute could not insist upon having no rivals in the field. \n\nOf late years, however, a more tolerant spirit appears to have prevailed among the members of the Institute, for Mr. W. B. Peat, the then President of the Institute, on the occasion of the Annual Meeting of that body in 1907, said:- \n\n\"It may be of interest to observe that of recent years the provinces appear now to be coming into line with what we believe to be the representative opinion of the Metropolis, that the exclusive policy of the past 7 years has been a mistaken one, and that it is desirable that the task of co-operation with the other bodies, so long as they provide reasonable standards of qualification, should be seriously admitted.\" \n\nWith a view to arriving at a satisfactory conclusion on this subject, and in response to an invitation contained in a letter from the Hon. G. Colville (the Secretary of the Institute), the President of the Central Association, one member of the Council, and the Secretary attended at the Institute on Wednesday, the 19th May last, to meet the Committee of the Institute and the Society charged with the conduct of the Bill. The President of the Institute, Mr. J. B. Ball, was in the Chair, supported by Mr. W. B. Peat. Mr. James Martin, the Secretary of the Society, was also present and took part in the discussion. \n\nThe question was fully considered, and before retiring, the members of the Central Association expressed the hope that they might later have a further opportunity of again discussing the position with the Committee, for it was the intention of the Central Association to most strenuously oppose any measure which would have the effect of excluding any of its members from its provisions.\n\n## (8) Objections to the Bill \n\nA superficial glance at the provisions of the Bill is sufficient to warrant its unqualified condemnation. \n\nIn the face of the resolution of the Institute above quoted and of the antagonistic attitude throughout adopted by that body towards persons who are not members, it is somewhat Gilbertian that the Institute should ask Parliament to appoint to fill the important office of Registrar of Professional Accountants its own Secretary for the time being, and require in perpetuity to have the appointment and removal of nine out of fifteen of the members of the Registration Committee to be formed under the proposed Act, with practically unlimited powers to make Rules unfettered and unchecked, and to exercise their powers without being amenable to any public body. \n\nThe Council of the Association, who have consistently advocated the principle of registration of accountants and would welcome any fair legislation tending to place the profession on a definite basis, unhesitatingly condemn the present Bill for the following reasons:- \n\n| Reason | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| (a) | That the Bill is not drafted in the interest of the public, or of the profession generally, but is a private measure of an arbitrary character, promoted chiefly for the benefit of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, and the Society of Incorporated Accountants and Auditors. |\n| (b) | That the Bill is an attempt to create a close profession by excluding therefrom a large body of competent and efficient persons (many of whom are members of the Central Association) who are now acting as principal clerks to Public Accountants, accountants in the employ of Bankers, Corporations, Public Bodies, or Limited Companies and the like, but who may be considered by prejudiced Committee to be constituted under the Bill, not to have the right of registration and thereby be prohibited from fairly and honestly earning their livelihood as Professional Accountants, which at present they are trained for and qualified to do. |\n| (c) | That the Professional Accountants Committee to be constituted under the Bill is proposed to be formed principally from among the members of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, and in view of the openly professed desire on the part of that Institute to confine the practice of accountancy in England and Wales to members of their own body, it would be improper and unjust to appoint such a Committee as is contemplated by the Bill, and entrust to them the wide powers set forth therein. |\n| (d) | That, for the last-mentioned reason, it would be unwise and unjust to appoint as the Registrar of Professional Accountants the Secretary for the time being of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales. |\n| (e) | That it would be unjust and unreasonable to give power to a body of persons appointed by, and representing only a portion of the Professional Accountants, to decide as to whether their professional brethren should or should not be put upon the register as they may think fit, with power at their own unrestricted pleasure to impose upon applicants for registration arbitrary conditions and prohibitive fees. |\n| (f) | That in no case should a Committee, however appointed, be empowered to make rules unless the same are approved and sanctioned by a public authority, or to exercise the powers and authorities conferred upon them, without being amenable to a public body. |\n| (g) | That the Bill will retard the future progress of Professional Accountancy. The Committee are of opinion that the formation of such a register as is contemplated in the Bill would check the natural growth of the profession, to the detriment of the public welfare, and that it is contrary to the traditions of British Legislature to interfere in such a way as is indicated in this Bill with the development of any calling or industry. |\n| (h) | That the Bill contains no provisions for the protection of the rights and interests of the Central Association of Accountants and its members, and others engaged in the profession, and the Bill, if passed into law, would seriously interfere with and cause irreparable injury to such rights, and would tend to deprive many of the members of the Association of their means of earning an honest livelihood. |\n| (i) | That the Central Association of Accountants is the third largest body of accountants in the United Kingdom, its membership exceeding the aggregate membership of the three Scottish Societies and one Irish Society named in the Bill. The Association is well known in the accountancy and commercial world, and membership is a guarantee of ability and integrity, and it is submitted it has acquired a vested right which should be acknowledged in any legislation dealing with accountants. |\n| (j) | That, in view of the importance of the Association, and of the useful work which it has accomplished since its incorporation, and also of the fact that it is constituted under the same Acts of Parliament, and in the same way as the Society of Incorporated Accountants and Auditors, there is, in the opinion of the Committee, no justification for dissimilarity in the treatment of the Association and that Society. |\n| (k) | That, in particular, the Committee strongly object to clause 20 of the Bill, above set out in extenso, and submit that there is no justification for such a clause, which would in fact practically put an end to the Association, disperse its members, and terminate its career of usefulness (See page 6). |\n\n## (9) Committee's Recommendations \n\nThe Committee therefore recommend that the passing of the Bill be strongly opposed, and, if it go to Committee, efforts should be made to amend it so as to provide (inter alia):-\n\n| Recommendation | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| (a) | That present and future members of the Central Association of Accountants, Ltd., should be entitled to registration as of right, and in all respects receive the same treatment as the members of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales and the Society of Incorporated Accountants and Auditors, and that the name of the Central Association be inserted in the necessary clauses in the Bill. |\n| (b) | That the Registrar of Professional Accountants should be, or be appointed by, the President of the Board of Trade, or some other public authority. |\n| (c) | That the Professional Accountants Committee should be elected annually by the registered Professional Accountants themselves. |\n| (d) | That any rules made by the Committee under the Bill should require the approval of the Board of Trade. |\n| (e) | That any person other than a member of the Central Association or any of the Societies named in the Bill, who has had at least ten years' experience in the practice of accountancy, either as a principal or in the office of a practising accountant or both, should be entitled to be registered on passing the examination to be prescribed by the Committee under the Bill, and should be entitled to sit for such examination whether he has or has not served under Articles of Apprenticeship. |\n| (f) | That, as regards the power of the Committee to refuse registration, rectify the register, and restore names thereto, there should be a right of appeal to the Board of Trade or other public authority. |\n\nOn the 5th July, 1909, the Central Association prepared and sealed a petition to the House of Lords against the Bill, praying in the event of it being read a second time, that the Bill be referred to a Select Committee, and that the Central Association might be heard by themselves, their Counsel, and witnesses against the Bill, and in support of the insertion therein of such clauses and provisions as they might deem necessary for the protection of the Association and its members. \n\nThe petition was presented in person by the Right Honourable Lord Cheylesmore on the following day.\n\n65, London Wall,  \nLondon, EC\n\n**GEORGE BARTLETT, Chairman.**  \nGEO.

He telegraphed to Germany saying that as Germany was not opposed to a modified form of mediation, he proposed that Germany should now suggest lines on which such a conference might be held.\n\nOn the same day the Austrian Government declined the suggestion of Russia that the two countries should discuss terms.\n\nJuly 29th, Wednesday. The British Ambassador to Austria wired that nothing could now stop the war by Austria upon Serbia. The British Ambassador to Italy, which was in the Triple Alliance with Germany and Austria, telegraphed saying that the Italian Minister for Foreign Affairs urged a meeting of Ambassadors in London. Sir Edward Grey replied that Austria now declined any discussion, and urged that the Italian Minister should use his influence with Germany and Austria for such a Conference, assured of British support,\n\nSir Edward Grey also wired to Berlin urging \"that the German Government should suggest any method by which the influence of the four Powers could be used together to prevent war between Austria and Russia. France agreed. Italy agreed. The whole idea of mediation, or mediating influence, was ready to be put into operation by any method that Germany could suggest, if mine were not acceptable. In fact, mediation was ready to come into operation by any method that Germany thought possible if only Germany would press the button in the interests of peace.\"\n\nOn this date also, the German Chancellor showed Germany's intentions more clearly by making proposals to the British Ambassador, which the British Prime Minister rightly called infamous proposals.\" The German Chancellor endeavoured to bid for British neutrality by proposing to the British Ambassador that assurances should be given by Germany that, in case Germany proved victorious over France, Germany would aim at no territorial acquisition. The Ambassador asked if that assurance would also apply to the French Colonies, but the Chancellor declined to promise that. In regard to Holland he said that Germany would respect its neutrality if other nations did so. Belgium, he said it depended upon the action of France what operations Germany might be forced to enter upon, but when the war was over, Belgian integrity would be respected if she had not sided against Germany.\n\nNeedless to say, Great Britain could listen to no such infamous proposal. It meant that England was to sit still and see France broken by Germany, see the French colonies torn away, France burdened with a huge indemnity, and Belgium, which Britain had contracted to protect, ruined by becoming the battle-ground of Germany and France. Verily an infamous proposal, revealing the brutality of German designs. On this day Russia, in reply to Austrian mobilisation, ordered partial mobilisation on the South against Austria, but not on the West against Germany. At the same time the Russian Ambassador explained to Austria that the aim of this mobilisation was to intimate that Russia must be consulted regarding the fate of Serbia.\n\n49\n\nJuly 30th, Thursday. On this date the British Ambassador in Austria wrote to Sir Edward Grey, and amongst other things deplored that the German Ambassador there \"is himself so identified with the extreme anti-Russian and anti-Serbian feeling prevalent in Vienna that he is unlikely to plead the cause of peace with entire sincerity.\" He went on to say that he had \"private information that the German Ambassador knew the text of the Austrian ultimatum to Serbia before it was despatched, and telegraphed it to the German Emperor,\" And he added: \"I know that the German Ambassador himself endorses every line of it.\"\n\nThe British Ambassador in Russia wrote that the Prime Minister of Russia said he had absolute proof that Germany was making military and naval preparations against Russia. Also that the German Ambassador to Russia had an interview with the Minister for Foreign Affairs after midnight at 2 a.m. He asked for some suggestion that might lead to peace, and the Minister wrote out the following:-\"If Austria, recognising that her conflict with Serbia has assumed character of question of European interest, declares herself ready to eliminate from her ultimatum points which violate principle of sovereignty of Serbia, Russia engages to stop all military preparations.\" Could anything be fairer merely to ask that Austria would promise not to destroy Serbia's independence?\n\nOn this date Sir Edward Grey gave a dignified reply to the German Chancellor's infamous proposal. He said: \"His Majesty's Government cannot for a moment entertain the Chancellor's proposal that they should bind themselves to neutrality on such terms.\n\nWhat he asks us, in effect, is to stand by while French colonies are taken and France is beaten, so long as Germany does not take French territory as distinct from the colonies.\n\nFrom the material point of view such a proposal is unacceptable, for France, without further territory in Europe being taken from her, could be so crushed as to lose her position as a Great Power, and become subordinate to German policy.\n\nAltogether apart from that, it would be a disgrace for us to make this bargain with Germany at the expense of France, a disgrace from which the good name of this country would never recover.\n\nThe Chancellor also, in effect, asks us to bargain away whatever obligation or interest we have as regards the neutrality of Belgium. We could not entertain that bargain either.\"\n\n45\n\nSir Edward Grey goes on to instruct the British Ambassador to say that he must urge most earnestly that the one way of maintaining the good relations between England and Germany is that they should continue to work together to preserve the peace of Europe.\n\nOn the same day the French Ambassador to England interviewed Sir Edward Grey, and informed him that the German Army already had its advance-posts on the French frontiers, and that on the previous day German patrols twice entered French territory. In order to avoid any possible collision, the French frontier patrols had been withdrawn to a distance of 10 kilometres within the French frontier. The local French population bitterly protested.\n\n497\n\n \nPage 49\nJuly 30th, Thursday.\n...\n\nPage 45\n...\n\nPage 497\n...",

Before the first prisoner was arrested, he wrote out a list of the arms he was prepared to sell to the interpreter; they were 21,000 German rifles, 1888 pattern, and 500 rounds of ammunition each, $62 each. 1500 Browning pistols with magazines to carry seven cartridges, and 100 rounds of ammunition, $62 each. 2100 Browning pistols with magazines capable of holding nine cartridges, and 100 rounds of ammunition each, $67 each. 600 second-hand Mauser pistols with 100 rounds each, $60 each. Lots of 400 and 50 Brownings at various prices and 15,000 Hanyang rifles, almost new, with 500 rounds of ammunition each, $50 each. Mr. Morrison would be called as a witness and would probably want to make an explanation to the Court.\n\nA Chinese interpreter of the Criminal Investigation Department gave evidence of dealings with the defendants up to the time of their arrest. He was introduced to Tsong Teang-ling by a Japanese interpreter as one who was anxious to purchase rifles, and the two went to a tea shop in Haining Road, where Tsong said that he had some rifles to sell. He told him that they belonged to a man named Morrison who lived in Quinsan Gardens and wrote down for witness a description of the arms and the price that would be charged for them. Witness arrested him and took him to the Hongkew Police Station.\n\nThen he went to a tea shop in Burton Road, where he met Yau Ching-foo, who said he had six hundred piculs of cargo to dispose of. Witness noticed that he emphasised the words \"six hundred piculs of cargo\" and learnt that he meant six hundred revolvers. As Yau was shy of speaking of the matter in a tea shop, he led him and one of the others outside and to the entrance of the Hongkew Police Station, where they also were arrested.\n\n7",

He states \"The value of A has been determined by aid of Alluard's dew point hygrometer from 1,012 observations made by the late Mr. F. G. Figg and the writer at the Hong Kong Observatory, and from 1,325 observations made by the writer at his private Observatory, Kowloon, Button, Surrey\". In his letter of 19/1/17 to the Colonial Office, however, Dr. Doberck states that the observations made in Hong Kong \"have been superseded by long series made here (Surrey) by instruments of different construction\" and in his letter of 25/6/17 he states \"my earlier observations were a failure, and as in the course of years I gained experience I found the reason to be that they were made within doors, and that the wet bulb ought never to be rotated except in the open air. Alluard's hygrometer gave also untrustworthy results, as the ether by which it is cooled contains a considerable percentage of water, which affects the humidity of the room. All the enclosed observations (made up of about 10,000 individual observations - 5 years' work) were made by the meters rotated in the open air and by outdoor air pumped (or rather aspirated) into the hygrometer\".\n\n11.\n\nUntil further particulars are obtained a correct estimate of the value of Dr. Doberck's tables cannot be formed.

        "content_text": "320\n\nPRAYA MURDER TRIAL.\n\nJURY FIND THE PRISONER \"GUILTY.\"\n\nMIS-DIRECTION ALLEGED BY COUNSEL FOR THE DEFENCE.\n\nConsiderable interest was shown by the Chinese public in the trial, which opened on March 20th, at the Supreme Court, of Leung Wo, ship's cook, indicted for the murder of Leung Yuk Tong, a member of the firm of Jack A. Tai, stevedores, who was shot at mid-day on the Praya on February 24th, and is generally supposed to be a victim of revenge for actions connected with the Seamen's Strike.\n\nThe presiding Judge was the Chief Justice (Sir Wm. Rees Davies). The Attorney-General (the Hon. Mr. J. H. Kemp, K.C.) conducted the case for the Crown and Mr. F. C. Jenkin (instructed by Mr. G. K. Hall Brutton) defended.\n\nThe prisoner entered a plea of 'not guilty,' and a special jury \"to ascertain whether he be guilty or not guilty\" was empanelled forthwith. This consisted of Mr. H. W. Bird (who was chosen to act as foreman), Mr. A. S. Gubbay, Mr. W. B. Walker, Mr. W. Sinclair, Mr. H. S. Bennett, Mr. John Arnold and Mr. A. E. Crapnell.\n\nOn March 21st, the case for the Crown was concluded in the trial of Leung Wo who is indicted for the murder of Leung Yuk Tong, on the Praya, on February 24th.\n\nThe Attorney-General prefaced his account of the shooting incident on the Praya and the chase through Statue Square, with the arrest, finally, of the prisoner, by mentioning that the deceased was connected with Messrs. Jack A Tai, who were concerned, during the strike, in getting away three steamers belonging to the Ocean Steamship Co. The Attorney-General understood that the defence was that a mistake had been made in identity.\n\nThe whole day was occupied in calling the witnesses whose evidence, given in the Police Court, has been so recently reported, very fully. It was noticed, by the way, that learned counsel were making great use of the Daily Press report to supplement the Police Court depositions.\n\nThe principal witness, of course, was Capt. David Morgan, master of the s.s. Kwongsing, who said that, walking along the Praya \"in a brown study,\" he heard the crack of a shot and then saw a ricksha drop and its occupant fall out. A man who was within a few feet of the ricksha, and who had a wisp of smoke in front of him, ran away through Statue Square and up Wardley Street. Witness chased him and later saw him on the ground with a man standing over him.\n\nIn cross-examination, Mr. Jenkin elicited that, on the Praya, Capt. Morgan did not see the face of the man he chased. If this man had not run at once he would not have suspected him of firing the revolver.\n\nMr. Jenkin: I am going to establish out of the mouths of a number of Crown witnesses that there were a number of other Chinese running.\n\nMr. Jenkin asked Capt. Morgan what his brown study was about. Was he, like the rest of us, wrapped in contemplation of the temporary beauties which now adorned Statue Square?\n\nCapt. Morgan: No, I believe I was wondering whether I had won any money in the sweeps.—(Laughter.)\n\nMr. Jenkin: Are you prepared to swear that you did not lose sight of this man on more than one occasion before he turned into Wardley Street?\n\nWitness: You are cutting it too fine, Mr. Jenkin.\n\nIn the morning, before the hearing was resumed, Judge, jury and counsel visited the scene of the shooting and of the chase. The Court was again largely attended by Chinese, who were searched by the police before admission.\n\nA number of witnesses were called to complete the Crown's case; to trace the finding of the revolver, for instance, and to record its passage from hand to hand until it became an \"exhibit\" in the trial.\n\nMr. H. C. Resker, assistant manager of Taikoo Sugar Refinery, said Jack A Tai's were their coolie contractors. About February 1st some of the men supplied by the deceased, Leung Yuk Tong, threatened to strike. Deceased undertook to stop the strike and it was averted.\n\nMr. A. B. H. Phillips, chemist at Taikoo Sugar Refinery, spoke to being in telephonic communication with deceased in connection with the food supply to temporary labourers.\n\nHaving made these preliminary observations, Mr. Jenkin said the case for the Crown would stand or fall by Capt. Morgan's evidence.\n\nThe defence was that a mistake in identity had been made. Capt. Morgan—a man of 63 years of age—had shown great pluck in taking up the chase in the way he did but Mr. Jenkin said he intended to show that Capt. Morgan had mistaken his man.\n\nThe crucial test of the Captain's evidence, Mr. Jenkin suggested, was his recollections about Mr. Green. When first called he said Mr. Green was at the railings near the City Hall but now he said Mr. Green was not standing there. If Mr. Green were on a charge for an assault committed at the top of Wardley Street, how could he possibly be convicted on Capt. Morgan's evidence? Capt. Morgan said he identified Mr. Green by his face and his clothes, yet he put him in the wrong place. It was, therefore, quite possible that he put the prisoner—whom he could not recognise, either by his face or his clothes—in the wrong place, also.\n\nMr. Jenkin also suggested that if Capt. Morgan once lost sight of his man during the chase his identification was of little value. He went on to say that Captain Morgan lost sight of the running man on three occasions—when he ran behind the pillars near the Praya, into Wardley Street; secondly, when Capt. Morgan was jumping over the obstacle of which he spoke, near the Statue; thirdly, when the man entered the part of Wardley Street between the Bank and the City Hall.\n\nMr. Jenkin reminded the jury that when they visited the locus in quo, that morning, he drew their attention to the fact that the temporary pillars blotted out Wardley Street from the spot where he and the jury were then standing, which was on alongside the Bank pavement Garden. Capt. Morgan must have lost sight of the man he was chasing since the big pillars in the Square had not been erected on February 24th. Mr. Jenkin then put in photographs showing that the pillars were there on that date.\n\nCapt. Morgan was then recalled and further cross-examined by Mr. Jenkin.\n\nCapt. Morgan: I did not see anybody throwing a revolver over the railing—No; I did not.\n\nFung Chi, the fireman, in examination, said four men running up the street, were Chinese; three were running on the left side and one on the right. He lost sight of the three men and the man who was running alone was caught.\n\nCapt. Morgan said that when the shot was fired he was in a brown study, thinking about race results and counsel hoped to show that the witness's powers of observation were such as not to justify any certainty as to what he said.\n\nThe evidence for the defence would be this: As the ricksha came along the Praya, three men came out from amongst the pillars in Wardley Street. A big...\n\n[March 25th, 1922]\n\nThe Judge asked, was the man running alone the prisoner? The witness could not say.\n\nAfter Mr. A. H. Barlow and Mr. Ho Cheuk had repeated the evidence they had given in the Police Court as to the finding of the revolver in the Bank Garden, the case for the Crown was closed.\n\nADDRESS FOR THE DEFENCE.\n\nIn opening his address for the defence, Mr. Jenkin remarked that the case had excited a good deal of feeling, owing to the labour troubles at the time. There were people who said that the man ought to have been executed on the spot. The jury, however, must not allow themselves to be swayed by passion but must decide according to the evidence.\n\nMr. Jenkin also said that he had been criticised, openly and covertly, for taking part in the case, but it was the duty of counsel, if he were retained, to do all he could for his client, within the ordinary rules governing the members of the Bar. If he had been assigned by the Crown, instead of being retained, he would have fought the case just as strenuously.\n\nDuring the examination of Mr. Pereira, who knocked down the running man, the Chief Justice told the witness: \"I think your action does you credit, whether you struck the right man or not. You were right in assisting in the administration of order.\"\n\nMr. Jenkin questioned the witness as to what he would do if someone knocked him down without apparent excuse.\n\nThe witness replied that he would demand satisfaction from his assailant.\n\nThe Chief Justice elicited that the witness understood Chinese perfectly well and he was sure that the man he knocked down said nothing at all.\n\nCapt. Morgan admitted that it was possible he might have lost sight of the man when a pillar intervened, but, later, he said he did not believe he lost sight of him at all. It would have been possible for two men to have run ahead of him and the man he was chasing and for one of them to throw a revolver into the garden.\n\nMr. Jenkin suggested to witness that three or four Chinese were in the vicinity of the ricksha and rushed across into Wardley Street.\n\nCapt. Morgan: I did not see anybody.\n\nWitness was certain that there was nobody running on the pavement, unless they were behind him, but there might have been people running on the road.\n\nMr. S. D. Begg, of Messrs. Butterfield & Swire, said Jack A. Tai's were their stevedores.\n\nMr. Jenkin: Did you not see the man throwing a revolver over the railing—No; I did not.",

        "content_text": "March 25th, 1922.]\n\nThe witness said later that, as the prisoner was waiting about, he looked at him. The Judge: Were you afraid he was going to shoot you? (Laughter.)\n\nWitness: No. I was wondering why he was looking at the pillars. I thought he was a man who had never seen such things before. (Laughter.)\n\nMr. Jenkin: Probably right, too—(more laughter).\n\nIn re-examination, the witness said he went off to tiffin promptly at 12 o'clock because, in a coolie house, if one was not prompt to time, one would get nothing to eat.\n\nFROM THE BANK ANNEXE.\n\nA foreman, employed on the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank annexe, said he saw 10 or 20 people running through Wardley Street, from Queen's Statue. He saw a European at the back of the crowd, on the pavement. The two leading men turned into Des Voeux Road, to the right. As they turned the corner, one had a slight lad. This man was in dark-coloured clothing and was a smaller and thinner man than the other, who was in a grey suit. The man in the grey suit threw something over the railing into the garden; the witness could not tell what it was. It was slowly dropped over.\n\nThe Judge: Give him the revolver but don't let him throw it at Mr. Jenkin.\n\nThe witness then showed how the revolver was dropped over the railing. He added that after that the man in grey clothing put his hat on his head. The third man, the little man, being followed by the European, crossed the tram lines and witness then lost sight of him. The main crowd of pursuers separated and went left, right, and forward at Des Voeux Road.\n\nPrisoner was made to stand outside the dock and the witness said that the man who dropped the revolver was a taller and stouter man.\n\nA man working on the ground floor of the Bank Annexe said he saw three men running in Wardley Street. A tall man—the second one—threw something over the railing as he turned the corner. The third man, pursued by a European, crossed the tram lines.\n\nWhen the hearing was resumed on Mar. 23rd, the Attorney-General announced that he did not propose to cross-examine any further the witnesses for the defence. His position was that there was a direct conflict between them and the Crown witnesses and that the witnesses for the defence must be telling falsehoods.\n\nChief Warder J. C. West gave evidence that so far as he could see nothing was done at an identification parade held by the defence at Victoria Gaol to render the identification valueless. The witnesses for the defence identified the prisoner without hesitation.\n\nMr. G. K. Hall Brutton, solicitor for the defence, was called as to the identification parade at the Gaol. Mr. Jenkin asked him if (in effect) anything was done to fake the identification parade.\n\nMr. Judge: I think that is quite unnecessary. I am quite sure a gentleman of Mr. Brutton's standing would not.\n\nMr. Jenkin then addressed the Jury on behalf of the prisoner. After expressing sympathy with the victims (in which he was, later, joined by the Attorney-General) he said:\n\n\"I beg you most earnestly to steel yourselves to withstand the jocular cynicisms of your fellow clubmen should you find this man not guilty.\" I say that advisedly because I move amongst people with whom we are all in daily communication and I know, as you know, that outside of this Court this man has been condemned, hanged, drawn, and quartered hundreds of times by lay judges who have never been inside this Court. They pick up scraps of the evidence from reading the newspapers and, though knowing absolutely nothing about it, they feel quite fitted to take the place of the Chief Justice and Jury and decide the verdict.\n\n\"You will not be able to go into the Club and about the Colony, without meeting this class of question: 'You found that man not guilty!' You are bound to meet it—you have met it while you have been on the jury. This man has been pre-judged and I beg you to care naught for these people outside who say that this man is guilty. You are strong enough to take the right decision if you think he is not guilty.\"\n\nMr. Jenkin said (later): \"It was obvious that, had the Crown taken the precautions which it might have taken with the material at its hand, it could have got a considerably larger number of witnesses than had been presented to the Jury in support of the Crown case.\"\n\nThe Attorney-General, after some introductory remarks (omitted on considerations of space) said he thought it a little unfair to suggest that the Crown might have met the evidence for the defence by calling other evidence.\n\n\"My friend suggests,\" said Mr. Kemp, \"that the Crown might have gone round Queen's and Prince's Buildings and collected European evidence to show that the evidence for the defence was a fabrication. Well, gentlemen, he has to show a large number of men running at the head of the prisoner and Capt. Morgan; it was equally open to him to go to these offices and call European witnesses to prove that.\"\n\nLater, when the subject was referred to again by the Attorney-General, Chief Justice remarked, \"I take it, Mr. Jenkin thinks you might have called, in the first instance, other Europeans, if you had any, to confirm the evidence of Capt. Morgan.\" The Attorney-General replied that he submitted that the Crown case was perfectly clear and convincing as it stood.\n\nAs to the witnesses for the defence, Mr. Kemp said they each came (with one exception) from a different section of the route of the pursuit. Each told a short, simple story (which was all the more difficult to break down in cross-examination); as two men were not called from one spot, their evidence could not be tested one against the other.\n\nReviewing the evidence, counsel said: \"The crucial point is the place at which the chase started. Capt. Morgan's evidence failed signally there.\" After discussing that evidence in detail, Mr. Jenkin advanced a theory that the revolver must, from its position, have been dropped from Des Voeux Road, as his witnesses said, and not from Wardley Street, as the Crown suggested.\n\nThe Chief Justice: \"I wish we had discussed that when we were at the view. I did not see anything in its position to prevent it from having been thrown from Wardley Street.\"\n\nReplying to the Attorney-General's suggestion that the evidence for the defence had been fabricated, counsel said that it was easy for Mr. Kemp to say so. It was easily said but it was not so easily proved, and the jury would ask for some more proof of it than the mere statement of the Attorney-General.\n\nThe evidence of the witnesses for the defence was stamped with honesty by the identification parade last Saturday.\n\nThe Attorney-General said, \"Why had they not come forward before?\" As to that, Mr. Jenkin remarked, \"Did Europeans come forward? 'In the streets and the Club,' there are lots of Europeans who saw what happened—at least they say they saw what happened. They take your place on the jury and decide the case: Why don't they come forward?\"\n\nThe witness said that when a solicitor's clerk called on him, he \"did not want to tell him, at first, what he had discovered from the coolies.\"\n\n\"Why not?\" asked the Judge. \"Because regarding things in Hong Kong, it is better not to interfere,\" replied the witness.\n\nMr. Ho Cheuk was then re-called at the request of the jury. He said the ricksha coolie who pointed out to him the revolver in the Bank Garden said \"Someone threw it there.\" He saw the coolie again next day but on neither occasion did he take his number.\n\nThe Attorney-General: \"Your evidence is new.\"\n\nDespite the difference of recollection and so on, in the Crown evidence, the witnesses were trustworthy and, if the Jury believed that Capt. Morgan did not lose sight of the prisoner, they must find the prisoner guilty of murder.\n\nSUMMING-UP BY THE CHIEF JUSTICE.\n\nThe Chief Justice joined with learned counsel for the defence in asking the Jury to banish any pre-conceived ideas from their minds.\n\nDealing with the evidence, the Chief Justice said:\n\n\"If you are prepared to accept the evidence for the prisoner, the case for the Crown fails. If you reject that evidence, it will involve finding a conspiracy on the part of a number of Chinese witnesses to defeat the administration of justice in this Colony. Gentlemen, I have had experience, now, for some years of Chinese witnesses and am perfectly justified in saying this to you—that while most Chinamen come into the box to speak the truth and promote the administration of justice, I am bound to tell you that collusion of witnesses to tell a story having no regard to the truth of that story at all is not, I regret to say, uncommon.\n\n\"I have had to find, as a fact, that the most extraordinary details, carefully interwoven; one witness building the foundation, another adding the superstructure, and a third carrying it a little further until the chain of evidence becomes so conclusive that the Court, in ordinary circumstances, would be convinced; I have had to find as a fact that such evidence has been entirely and absolutely unfounded and false.\"",

I saw 3 men from a corner of the garden. One came out from the Praya first, the other 2 followed. One lifted the curtain of the hood of the ricksha and flung his right arm upwards and I heard a report. The 3 men ran towards Queen's Statue and also the 3 men outside the door of the Sang Lee. After ricksha had run 8 or 10 paces occupant fell out and ricksha dropped. I saw a European - I don't recognise him. It was about the height of that gentleman, Capt. Morgan.

It was about a week ago, I went to solicitors' office and gave a statement. My master took me there. Chan Fau the foreman took me there. I had told nothing about it before to anybody. I would not dare to talk about it. Would you? None of the other workmen talked about it.\n\nRe-examined.\n\nWhen foreman made enquiries, he said were you not working on that side of the pavilion.

There were 2, 3 men together very much ahead of the 3rd man who was followed by a European and when they got to the corner of Des Voeux Road the 2 men turned to the right. They were Chinese. Of the 2 men they were not exactly abreast. The one leading was in dark clothing and he was smaller and thinner than the other man. The other, the taller man in a grey suit was very much taller and as soon as they turned the corner the man in the grey suit threw something over the railing into the garden.

I think he had a hat.\n\nPlan put to witness and he puts the 2 men at the red mark.\n\nShown a blank plan and he puts the position of the 2 men then the 3rd man and the European by the statue.\n\nThe 3 men had almost reached Des Voeux Road when I saw them\n\nand were running very fast and darted round the corner along Des Voeux Road. I could see the 2 men better as they were much nearer to me than the 3rd man and the European. I thought there had been a fight with so many people running. Being a\n\nforeman\n\nI take notice of the clothes coolies are wearing.\n\nI made no note of this at the time, I went to Brutton's office twice. I went about a week ago on first occasion. I saw Mr. Brutton on both occasions. First occasion about a week ago. I did not give a statement. I did not tell anybody about it. I told Mr. Brutton what I had seen whether he took it down in",

I swear to it.\n\nRe-examined\n\nI did see the European carrying an etisk. I did see something thrown into Hongkong Bank garden and I did see 2 Chinese firemen. The 2 men were rushing very fast round the corner and one of them pulled up a little, threw something down and kept on running.\n\nNgai Chuk Kwan,\n\nstone cutter on Hongkong Bank building. On 24th February I heard a noise about 12. A noise of people. Cutting stones on the ground on the footpath I saw 2 men running along the path by Bank garden, they turned West. Did not see any ricksha coolies about. At first they were running very fast and at the corner the 2nd man stopped a little and waved his arm.\n\nBehind these 2 there was a small man came running and he went across the tram line. Then a European. He was the last, not very certain if he was big or small. He also went across the tram line. Also 7 or 8 Chinese running along Wardley Street in the middle of the road between the statue and tram line. I also saw 2 firemen. I did not follow them up. I did not see anybody under arrest. The man flung his arm close up to the garden. I could not make out what it was.\n\n(Describes on plan his position).\n\nA.G. does not cross-examine.\n\nCourt rises\n\nThursday 23rd March 1922.\n\nRecalls at request of A.G.",

I was present. It was held at the instance of Mr. Brutton. He desired the prisoner should be placed on purpose of parade for identification. A line of 14 men was paraded, men taken at random from remand department. Prisoner was told to put on a black jacket to look in dress as much like the others as possible. Prisoner then told to take any position he liked. He took No. 5 from the right. Mr. Brutton and others were inside, other people outside. Mr. Brutton called in his clerk. He told him to call in the first witness. He came in through the door. The man identified the prisoner at once, walked up the line. Identification parades are usually done by Police themselves. There was no communication that I saw between Mr. Brutton or his clerk.\n\nHe was then taken into a room so he could not communicate.

        "content_text": "THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH.\n\nBETWEEN OURSELVES. TWENTY FIVE YEARS\n\n(Continued from Page 6.) granted on every hand; that a change may take place when our Educational Cadet retires is the hope of all who have this matter at heart: that we places like Wei-hai-wei and Chefoo can give us a long start is a reproach: that we have still to send our children home, is a disgrace. Scrap The Lot.\n\nAGO.\n\nA Glance at our Files.\n\n(Sept. 3.-Oct. 1, 1897.)\n\nST. ANDREW'S SOCIETY. At the annual meeting of the St. Andrew's Society, the Hon. Mr. J. H. Stewart Lockhart, presiding, said they had a balance of $3,000, the largest in the history of the Society. An incident with elements of comedy was witnessed on the Praya yesterday. Apparently two men had an altercation over money matters and they were not satisfied with a mere exchange of adjectival terms. They came to blows and when a policeman rushed up to the scene, they both jumped into the water and continued the fight there, until fished out. One was satisfied with bail estreated. The other, who did not appear, had his bail estreated.\n\nDAY BY DAY.\n\nCommand Orders state-It is pointed out that malaria is most prevalent during the month of October, November, and December. O.C. Units are responsible for the avoidance of all mosquito breeding places in their areas and strict supervision must be maintained.\n\nTeaching is a business which has to be learned and no amount of ignorant and ill-trained enthusiasm can take its place. One of our uncertificated teachers the other day remarked that the salary accrued was stable and when a helper was satisfied with the last ball, which had been a great success, but at the same time it was accompanied by a deficit. It seemed impossible to bridge debts! What an ideal Colony which can boast without a deficit.\n\nNEW OFFICES.\n\nMessrs. Butterfield & Swire's handsome new offices on the Praya looked quite bright to-day, with no less than three new house flags floating over the roof. There was the familiar China Navigation Company's flag, the monogram of Alfred Holt & Co., and the blue and white bars of the Scottish Oriental line. Flying the old flags would have been putting old wine in new bottles. In any case, the transfer of the B. & S. business to such a convenient locality will be appreciated by shipping and business people.\n\nHONGKONG IMPORTS.\n\nThe fortnightly Price Current and Market Report, published by the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce, states:-Cotton yarn. Owing to the continued decline in price, dealers are confining their operations to only a few bales at a time for their immediate requirements. Woollens-Small blankets and lastings are reported, but the market is very dull.\n\nTHE VOLUNTEER BAND.\n\nThe best efforts of some people are unappreciated by the vulgar herd, and this appears to be the unhappy fate of the Volunteer band. On Jubilee Day, the Volunteers' pipers were placed ignominiously in the rear of the massed bands. While now that the Corps has seen the error of its ways to some extent, and has dropped the barbarous pipes in favour of the more civilised fife and drum, the band is told by an irate P.W.D. official to \"stop that noise\" until he has finished his work! It is now also said that the Scotch Police have actually been given orders to arrest the band on its next appearance on the public highway, and charge the musicians severally and collectively with creating a nuisance.\n\nCotton yarn. Quotations are:-No. 108 $14.5-16.8, No. 129. $15.3-17.2, No. 169. $17.8-19.0, No. 20s. $17.8-19.4. Arrivals 1,500. Shipments nil. Sales 1,500 bales. Unsold stock 17,000 bales. Bargains 5,000 bales.\n\nMetals. Business has been done in wire nails 1.3 inch. at $8.20 to $8.25. 3-7 inch. at $7.60. There has also been business booked in galvanized wire 18 to 22 gauge at $12.50. 13 to 17 gauge at $10. Bars have been placed at $4.55 to $4.70.\n\nRaw Cottons.-There was a fair demand during the last fortnight, but this is the season when dealers fill all their requirements for the New Year trade: it is to be expected. It is doubtful whether the quantities booked come up to the average. Scrap material is quiet. Dealers are not willing to pay the prices at present asked.\n\nMR. BRUTTON'S ADMISSION.\n\nIn the Supreme Court, Mr. W. M. Goodman, Attorney-General, made an application on behalf of Mr. Brutton, a solicitor, to be approved, admitted, and enrolled as an attorney and proctor. His Lordship understood that the necessary papers-certificates and affidavits, one by Mr. Brutton that he was duly admitted to practise as a solicitor in the Supreme Court of Judicature in England on the 14th August, 1891, and that he was the same person as that named in that certificate, and the other was by Mr. A. G. Wise, Puisne Judge, which stated that he was well acquainted with Mr. Brutton, and that in his opinion Mr. Brutton was a fit and proper person to be admitted and enrolled as a solicitor.\n\nLet Mr. Brutton be admitted and enrolled as an attorney in this Court. Mr. Brutton was, during the last four years, under Mr. W. Drummond in Shanghai, and came here on the 23rd instant to join the office of Mr. K. W. Givals Mounsey.\n\nOUR UNOFFICIALS.\n\nThe present Government is wholly wanting in debating power. It hates criticism. It dreads discussion, and since the method of half-unofficial and half-official written communications to members out of Council had been exposed and put a stop to, it negotiates quietly with individual members and so arranges matters beforehand that things pass in Council sub-silenteo.\n\nWATER POLO LEAGUE.\n\nThe match between R.G.A. and Lusitano Recreation Club, postponed from August 31st, was played at the V.I.C. on Monday last and resulted in a win for the V. Club by a goal to nil. The above match completes the League. The table now stands:\n\nP. W. L. D. F. Agst.

In a reply dated January 9th, 1924, (`954/1924`) we were informed by the Secretary of State that the Hongkong Government considered it undesirable that the Basel Mission should resume work in the Colony, though they had no objection to the return of Mr. Jucker. It was thought at that time that the other German missions did not wish to return to the Colony and it was suggested that the Trustees should dispose of their property and hand over the proceeds to the societies for work in the Tungtung Province of China.\n\nA new situation has been created through the decision of the Secretary of State to remove any discrimination against German missionary societies in regard to missionary work in the colonies, protectorates, and mandated territories under the supervision of the Colonial Office. Mr. Thomas has stated that it will now be open to the Conference of Missionary Societies to recommend German missionary societies for inclusion in the list of societies \"recognised\" by His Majesty's Government under the existing arrangements.\n\nThe/",

        "content_text": "PEAK WATER.\n\nJuly 21.\n\nBy Saturday Peak residents should be assured of a full supply of water for a period of three to four hours a day, a \"China Mail\" representative who made enquiries this morning was informed. By that time it was expected that the new engine which was intact at the Pokfulam pumping house station would be connected up by piping underneath the boulder that has fallen.\n\nWhen it is possible to bring into operation another of the auxiliary engines which were being reassembled at the time of the disaster and several parts of which have been lost, then it may be possible to run a full service for eight hours during the day time.\n\nThis may be effected within a fortnight according to the time taken to replace the lost parts and connect up by means of pipe lines.\n\nThe greatest delay will be that in connection with bringing into operation the main engine of the Pumping station which has been greatly damaged. This has a capacity equal to the two others combined. The two dock engineers may be able to cast certain parts but in the words of an official approached this morning it will probably be \"months and months\" before this engine will be in service again. However, with the two auxiliary engines in operation the Peak will be assured of a regular daily supply, and it is on bringing these into service that the department is concentrating at present.\n\nAt present the Peak is restricted to the \"dribble\" which it is possible to get from the reservoirs which are cut off from the pumping station, and the Conduit Road level to the supply from a service reservoir into which a stream has been diverted. Within the next few days, however, the Conduit Road level will be assured of a better supply as the services of the Fire Brigade are to be available for pumping water up to this level.\n\nDifficult Task.\n\nThe task with which the water authorities are faced is one of considerable difficulty particularly in regard to the Eastern filter bed which has been damaged by the fall of a big boulder. Pipes have also been carried away which will entail considerable difficulty in replacing.\n\nCarrying pipes weighing a ton each up the hill has been a difficult task. In certain cases staging has had to be erected.\n\nWith regard to the lower level supply the work in connection with necessary repairs and clearances is progressing and it is expected that the next few days will see a return to normal.\n\nPage 363\n\nOVERLAND CHINA MAIL\n\nPEAKITE'S LETTER.\n\nJuly 21. Received too late for insertion yesterday, a reader of the \"China Mail\" sends the following letter from the Peak.\n\nIt is typical of the experiences of residents from topside—and very modest.\n\nThe Peak, Tuesday,\n\nIt is very seldom that Peak residents are put to any inconvenience but this time they have been badly hit after the recent storms.\n\nLights went out about 8 at night when one could hardly see one's hand but fortunately it was only for a short time.\n\nRain was pouring down and some found that the chair shelter's telephone was out of order.\n\nI sent a coolie down to get chairs at the tram station only to find no cars running and chairs would be soaked through.\n\nIn spite of all weathers, the Dairy Farm milkman turns up at his appointed hour. He is a very old servant of the company and serves us faithfully. He gladdens many a mother's heart when bad weather is about.\n\nI arrived at the office soaked through, and had to remain so until dry clothes could be got.\n\nThe next drawback was the water shut off. This caught me napping and until the papers appeared in the evening they did not know how badly they were placed.\n\nIt was a great relief to get a telephone message last night to say that water would be turned on for one hour daily.\n\nFLOOD THIEVES.\n\nShops from two shops in the main Thoroughfare of Shek-tong-tsui, the Chinese locality in the western district, were carried away by the torrent of rain water on Monday.\n\nSuch was the flow of water, mud, rocks and debris from the hillside near No. 3 pumping station, that Queen's Road West was under several feet of water. Goods from exposed shops were swept away and two safes were embedded in the slime.\n\nWhen the \"current\" was high, a number of men are alleged to have salved one safe and made off with it.\n\nThey are accused of having pried it open. The report goes that they were arrested by detectives from No. 7 station when in the very act of dividing the contents.\n\nHousewives sent to the Dairy Farm, Wiseman's and Lane, Crawford's, only to find that there was nothing to be had.\n\nSome were expecting to do business at about 2 pm, but nothing was to be had all day.\n\nPhotos by Ice Fong.\n\nThis is a scene outside a Government market at Shek-tong-tsui, the Chinese quarter in the western part of the town. It is at the foot of the nullah below the pumping station. The rocks and rubble unloosened by the boulder have been swept down the nullah and accumulated in a pile, having \"jumped\" a high wall, on to the street.\n\n[No. 2998—July 22, 1926.]\n\nFREAK ARMOUR.\n\nAn ingenious device, as yet unheard of in Hongkong, has been adopted by up-country shipping, reported below:\n\n[From Our Own Correspondent.]\n\nPakkao, Kongmoon, July 17. The \"Tung Wo\" towboat has installed a set of machinery, comprising a system of iron netting which completely covers the ship and is charged with electricity. This is to safeguard against piratical attacks.\n\nAnother part of the defence consists of a powerful new searchlight on the towboat's bow.\n\nThe \"Tung Wo\" plies between Canton and Kongyick.\n\nA day after the \"Tung Wo's\" freak armour had been put on, pirates showed their utter contempt for such measures by successfully attacking the Shekki-Kongmoon towboat, when off Kongmei. The boat, all the cargo and passengers were taken away.\n\nNew Aircraft Carrier.\n\nOn July 14, we heard that Kwong Hoi had fallen into bandits' hands.\n\nMembers of the Kongmoon Red Cross who were attached to the punitive expedition lost all their effects, escaping with their lives only in the nick of time when the outlaws launched their offensive.\n\nAn armoured ship, as big as the ordinary Hongkong river steamboat, named the \"Chee Yau\" (meaning Liberty or Freedom) is acting as aircraft carrier for the Canton Government.\n\nIt arrived here on July 14 with an aeroplane from Canton, to be sent to Kwong Hoi to fight against bandits. The \"Chee Yau\" left the same day for Canton.\n\nGeneral Notes.\n\nH.M.S. \"Cicala\" arrived here on July 15. (This gunboat left and was at Macao on July 18.)\n\nOn July 14, the Customs launch \"Foo Moon\" arrived here with Col. F. Hayley Bell, Commissioner of Customs at Canton, and left with the Colonel on July 16.\n\nThe Sanwui magistrate has been ordered to provide 800 coolies for transport work with the Northern Expedition. The Tung Tak guild offered 400 volunteers.\n\nTelephone employees at Kongmoon are striking for higher pay. The service is being maintained and it is hoped that mediation will succeed.\n\nThe river flood has gone down gradually. On July 17, the sounding outside the Customs House was 9 feet 7 inches.\n\nNo. 2998—July 22, 1926.\n\nA MEDICINE DEAL.\n\nJuly 21.\n\nOVERLAND CHINA MAIL\n\nA curious dispute concerning a deal in medicines by the Yeung Yui Chung Medicine Depot of 201 Queen's Road Central, a firm having considerable interests throughout China and the Malay States, came before Mr. Justice Wood in the Summary Court this morning.\n\nThe above firm claimed for $299.16 for goods supplied to the Sui Cheong firm, of 41 Wing Lok Street.\n\nMr. Leo d'Almada represented the plaintiff firm and Mr. E. S. C. Brooks the defendant firm.\n\nMr. d'Almada explained that the plaintiffs had purchased the goodwill of the business from Yueng Wai-cheung, the former owner, for $3,000. There were certain subsidiary arrangements, one of which was that the purchasers were to provide Yueng with an annuity of $1,200, that they should have the right to use the figuration of Yueng's father (the founder of the business) on their trade labels, etc., that the Sui Cheong firm, defendants, should have certain concessions in dealings and that a debt of $1,000 owed by Yueng to the Sui Cheong should be paid by purchasers.\n\nThe terms under which the Sui Cheong was to obtain goods were that 45 per cent cash should be paid and 55 per cent discount allowed.\n\nPlaintiff went into the witness box and said that the agreement referred to by counsel had been drawn up in Mr. Hall Brutton's office.\n\nThe indebtedness of Yeung to the defendant firm had been met by the plaintiff firm. Goods had been supplied to the Sui Cheong firm on June 12 in accordance with order and payment was asked for by the foreman.\n\nHe was told that payment could not be made then but if he left the goods payment would be made later.\n\nThe bill submitted by the foreman was endorsed but on his return, the endorsement was erased by another representative of the Sui Cheong and the foreman was told that they had come to an arrangement with Yueng, whom they regarded as a partner of the firm, whereby they received 60 per cent discount.\n\nThe plaintiff denied that the chop on the receipt in question was the chop of the Yeung Yui Chung firm or that Yueng was a partner or had any authority to conduct transactions for the firm.\n\nHis Honour remarked that the whole point seemed to be as to whether Yueng was still a partner.\n\nYueng Wai-cheung gave evidence and deposed to being interested in the firm to the extent of $3,000 which had not been paid in full.\n\nA witness was called by the defendants who said that he was salesman and accountant of the Sui Cheong firm.\n\nHe understood he was a partner.\n\nMr. Brooks, in cross-examination of the plaintiff, asked him if it was not a fact that the purchase money was to be $6,000 and that only $3,000 of this had been paid.\n\nThis plaintiff denied.\n\nHe had then come to an arrangement with the plaintiff firm whereby he is to resume his interest in the business.\n\nHis Honour, after hearing further evidence, decided that there was no evidence as to Yeung being a partner and found for the plaintiffs with costs.\n\nPhoto by Ying Ming.\n\nHere is further evidence of the violence with which the death-dealing boulder charged down on the pumping station.\n\nThis is a nullah, by the public mortuary, all in confusion because of the debris which the landslide sent down.\n\nThe nullah leads from below the reservoir section to West Point.\n\nPhoto by A. Pong.\n\nOUR MAN SEIZED.\n\nJuly 21.\n\nA rumour is current in town that six Hongkong policemen have been \"captured\" by Canton strike pickets, together with a motor-boat, on the Samchun River.\n\nTwo of the six prisoners are members of the British section of the Force, viz., Lance-Sergeant Ryan and Lance-Sergeant Hughes, both attached to Lok-ma-chau station.\n\nThe other four were Chinese seamen, of the Water Police.\n\nThe motor-boat is also under the Water Police and is used regularly for patrolling the Samchun River.\n\nNo other information could be obtained, not even from people who had crossed the frontier and come in to Hongkong on the Kowloon-Canton Railway British section.\n\nIt is only known definitely that the men and launch were taken away by armed pickets.\n\nLok-ma-chau is the station that overlooks the frontier.\n\nBetween the New Territories and the Chinese district of Po On is the Samchun River, which is crossed by the steel bridge on which the railway runs.\n\nSamchun market is on the Chinese side of the border.\n\nA camp of strike pickets has been established there for a year.\n\nObviously some of their number met the Hongkong police launch, out on patrol on the river, and took them into custody.\n\nLater.\n\nThe \"capture\" was due entirely to the Police motor-boat running aground, on the Samchun River, during the flood.\n\nBoth the sergeants had gone ashore when the pickets took them into custody.\n\nThe boat was taken further up the River, and then into Chinese territory.\n\nA fairly strong detachment of infantry from the 1st Battalion, East Surrey Regiment, has been sent out to the frontier to recover the motor-boat and the captives.\n\nThe Peak Tram, at the Kennedy Road Bridge. On the left, the \"overhead track can be seen. The confusion in the middle and to the left shows why the delay is necessary.\n\nPage 364",

From the outbreak of the Opium War up to the time of the 21 Demands, there have been more than 10 or 20 incidents which demand our commiseration; some of them have even caused us greater grief and disgrace than the present occasion. Let me give you an instance. At the outbreak of the Opium War in the 3rd year of Ham Fung, 60 or 70 years ago, the British took prisoner Ip Ming Sham, Viceroy of the 2 Kwongs, carried him to India and shut him up there. He was not accustomed to Indian bread and consequently died of starvation. The British then preserved his corpse with sugar (at that time chemistry was not in a very advanced state and methods for preserving bodies had not been discovered), crowned him with a hat with a button and a peacock's feather, and set him in a street in India open to the inspection of the public; and they collected payment for every subsequent inspection. Is it not a great disgrace to us that such a high official of China as a Viceroy has been thus treated by the English? But our Chinese at that time were not aware of this; even had they been, their feelings would not have been stirred by it. Our Nationals did not wake up until the 21 Demands were made on us, and since then we have had humiliation day May the 9th, the movement of May the 4th and the Commemoration of May the 30th. All these days are observed in memory of incidents...",

        "content_text": "## CHINESE HOSPITALITY\n\n### LUNCH AT THE KAM LING RESTAURANT\n\nOnce again the Chinese community of Hong Kong has distinguished itself by extending generous hospitality on the occasion of a Royal visit to the Colony. On Saturday a luncheon was given at the Kam Ling Restaurant, West Point, in honour of H.R.H. the Duke of Gloucester, and the affair was carried out with great success. About 180 gentlemen were present, including over 30 guests. The approach to the restaurant was most elaborately decorated in the Chinese manner, and the dining-room was a mass of beautiful flowers. Festoons added to the brightness of the room.\n\nFlags were used in the decoration. A large crowd had gathered in the streets to witness the arrival of the Royal party at about 12:30. The Duke, who was accompanied by H.E. the Governor, was received by Sir Shou-son Chow, Sir Robert Ho Tung, Dr. Tso, and other prominent members of the Chinese community. A number of Chinese gentlemen had the honour of being introduced to His Royal Highness, who shook hands with them and exchanged a few words of greeting. Lunch was then served immediately, and included the usual choice dishes offered on such occasions—birds' nest soup, turtle, shark fins, etc. There were no speeches, but the toast of \"The King\" was duly honoured. The Duke and party left at about 1:45, His Royal Highness thanking his Chinese friends for their hospitality.\n\nOther guests at the luncheon included members of the Prince's suite, the Governor's staff, Capt. Arbuthnot, of H.M.S. **Suffolk**, members of the Executive and Legislative Councils, and representatives of the leading business houses.\n\nThe following were among those present:\n| Name | Company/Organization |\n| --- | --- |\n| F.

One likes to think of sunshine and blue clouds for such occasions—but it may well be that Prince Henry may be remembered as \"the King's son who brought the rain in time of famine.\"\n\nThe day's events were luncheon at West Point as the guest of the Chinese community; participation in four races at the Jockey Club's fourth extra meeting, Happy Valley, and then the ceremonious leave taking. His Royal Highness, though he did not win any of the events at Happy Valley, proved again that he is a very fine horseman, and few indeed have done so well at their first attempt on the course with a China pony. A full account of the races appears elsewhere.\n\n### DEPARTING FORMALITIES\n\n#### SCENE AT QUEEN'S PIER\n\nPractically the same formalities, only in different order, were observed at His Royal Highness's departure as at his arrival. Accompanied by His Excellency the Governor, the Royal visitor, who wore the tropical uniform of the 10th Hussars, arrived by car followed by three cars containing other members of the staff. They were preceded as usual by members of the police flying squad.\n\nIn front of the pier the guard of honour was provided by 3/15 Punjabis Regiment, the band and pipe and drum band of the battalion also being present.\n\nOn the pier, as at the landing, were the members of the Legislative Council, a number of Senior Naval, Military, and Air Force Officers, including Vice-Admiral A. K. Waistell and Major-General Sandilands, and prominent members of the Chinese community.\n\nAfter the National Anthem had been played and the Royal Salute given, Prince Henry and His Excellency inspected the Guard.\n\nPage 66\n\nF.

Hynes.\n\nWhilst we, as shareholders, must regret that the sterling bonus for the year has been reduced from £2 to £1 per share, we feel bound to quiesce in the decision of the Board when we reflect that, at the low exchange of 1s/7½d to the dollar, the final payment to us of £4 per share costs only about $40,000 less in dollars than the payment of the final of £5 per share cost us for the year 1928 at the then exchange of 2s. 04d. to the dollar. Moreover, those shareholders, who think in dollars, can derive comfort from the fact that for the year 1929 they are receiving, in dividend and bonus combined, $80.37 per share as compared with $79.02 per share for the year 1928.\n\nThree years has been Chief Manager. These three years, as you all know, have been exceptionally difficult ones, and the results at face of these difficulties speak more for Mr. Hynes' zeal and ability in the service of the Bank than anything I could possibly say.\n\nI feel sure that you would wish to join me in offering a warm farewell to Mr. Hynes and in wishing him enjoyment of a well-merited rest after his long and successful career in the Bank.\n\nAnother old colleague of mine, Mr. V. M. Grayburn, has been appointed to be Acting Chief Manager when Mr. Hynes leaves in two or three weeks' time. Here again I feel sure that you will join me in offering him a hearty welcome and every success.\n\nIn regard to the disturbed state of affairs in China, shareholders can only join with our Directors in deploring the continued persistence of civil war in China with its accompaniment of famine and brigandage and of the oppression of the Chinese merchants and masses by irregular taxation and interference with the arteries of trade in so many Provinces of China.\n\nAlso the molestation of shipping by pirates is still unfortunately with us, and we trust that the preventive measures, which have recently been initiated by the Government Kwangtung, will shortly bear fruit.\n\nIn conclusion I would ask you to confirm the Directors' vote of a bonus to the staff of 5 per cent. on their salaries. The reduction from 10 per cent - the figure of several years past - has been made to correspond with the halving of the Shareholders' bonus.\n\nI now beg to propose the adoption of the Report and Statement of Accounts.\n\nAfter the proposal has been seconded and before placing the motion before the Meeting, I shall be pleased to answer to the best of my ability any questions that shareholders may have to ask.\n\nTHE SECONDER'S SPEECH.\n\nThe Bank and its Sterling Position.\n\nSeconding, the Hon. Sir Henry Pollock, K.C., said. Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentlemen. In rising to second the adoption of the Report and the Statement of Accounts, I do not propose to occupy many minutes of your time, especially in view of the very full and interesting speech which has just been made from the chair.\n\nThe first point which strikes one as satisfactory is the fact that, in spite of difficult trade and banking conditions during the past year, our earnings in silver for 1929 exceeded by some seven lakhs of dollars our earnings in silver for the year 1928.\n\nYet another point for congratulation is that our Directors by transferring 5 million dollars from our silver reserve at the very favourable rate of 2/- to the dollar, have raised our sterling reserve to six and a half millions sterling, and when we call to mind that only 10 years ago, at the beginning of 1920, our sterling reserve stood at one and a half million pounds only, it will be readily appreciated how much the Bank has strengthened its sterling position during the last ten years.\n\nWe are also transferring $500,000 to our silver reserve and $750,000 to Bank Premises Account; and it is pleasing to hear from you, sir, that our investments stand at well under market quotations.\n\nExtrality Abolition.\n\nAs regards the abolition of extrality, one can only express the hope that the powers-that-be in Nanking will realize the desirability for proceeding slowly and gradually, so long as Chinese Judges have no security of tenure of office, and so long as such Judges are liable to dictation and interference by political and military officials.\n\nAll shareholders will most cordially indorse the bonus of 5 per cent. to the Bank staff on their salaries, and will very much regret the necessity for reducing the same.\n\nIn conclusion, Mr. Chairman, I desire, on behalf of the shareholders, to echo your words of appreciation of the very valuable services which have been rendered to the Bank by retiring Chief Manager, Mr. Hynes, during the past three extremely difficult years, and we join in wishing him, and Mrs. Hynes also, many years of happiness to come.\n\nWe likewise desire to endorse your words of welcome to the incoming Chief Manager, Mr. Grayburn, and to wish him every success in his arduous task.\n\nThe report and accounts were unanimously adopted.\n\nBusiness Matters. Mr. R. M. Dyer proposed and Mr. D. J. Lewis seconded the appointment of Mr. J. P. Warren, Mr. T. H. R. Shaw, Mr. M. T. Johnson and Mr. T. E. Pearce to the Board of Directors, and the re-election of Mr. W. L. Pattenden, Mr. A. H. Compton and Mr. B. D. F. Beith to the Board. This was carried.\n\nMessrs. C. Bernard Brown, A.C.A., and John Fleming, C.A., were re-elected as auditors, on the motion of Mr. F. C. Hall, seconded by Mr. J. W. Bonham.",

(Personally in the absence\n\nof local knowledge I have never been able to understand\n\nhow the restriction and proposed restrictions on\n\nChinese and British ships trading to various ports\n\noperate).\n\n(b) Because Mr. Alabaster in respect of his services\n\nsince 1912 as M.L.C., as acting A.G. on several\n\noccasions and as reviser of the Co.'s laws,\n\ndeserves some recognition, and will be\n\nexperience for the permanent post.\n\n(c) Because I am not satisfied that Mr. Prior, who seems\n\nthe only outside candidate who is actually available,\n\nis of outstanding ability such as to reconcile local\n\nfeeling to passing over the strong local candidate.\n\n(sd.)

I took their names, but I took no note.\n\nThe servants included a chauffeur, A Lau, who was sick. I was at the house about an hour. I was told that Mr. Murphy visited the house after we had left. I was not present, nor, so far as I know, was the G.D.I.\n\nOn the afternoon of the 28th, I again went to No.50 with Mr. Brutton and the accused. I had no Chinese detectives with me.

According, however, to a letter from one of my partners at present in the East dated January 1st, I am quite out of date in looking on this old agreement as a way out of the difficulty. He writes:-\n\nI went with Brown (our Shanghai manager) to call on Maze last week and we discussed the question of smuggling. He is leaving on an inspection trip of southern ports in the middle of this month and welcomes this opportunity of visiting Hong Kong for a talk with Peel. The Customs Agreement, I am afraid, is dead and buried, as Maze explained, for the following reasons:-\n\n1. Canton will not hear of it, because they are getting revenue for the province from goods which, though smuggled so far as Customs are concerned, can for that reason bear heavier taxation locally. The Customs Agreement would give Nanking control of Kwangtung Customs revenue and would prevent the provincial government from getting this taxation. Hong Kong will not hear of it because it would hamper present good relations with Canton. They, of course, do not care a button about Nanking and Canton have apparently told Hong Kong pretty plainly that, if the Agreement is signed, they may expect trouble. Nanking themselves do not want it because ...\n\nCopy to you is \n\nPage 120\nPage 121",

        "content_text": "3. \n\n9 \n\nlarge slabs are produced, with a view to finding out whether appreciable variations could occur. The tin is brought to Hong Kong partially refined and is there further refined by a liquation method to bring it over 99% pure. Up to the Summer of 1935 practically all the crude tin refined in Hong Kong was mined in Yunnan, and this tin contained only small amounts of impurities other than lead. During the process of refining, the workers periodically withdraw small buttons of the molten metal and allow them to cool. They judge the fineness of the metal by the appearance of the oxide film that forms over the button as it solidifies, and, as far as the Yunnan tin is concerned, they were extremely expert in judging the extent to which the refining process had been carried out. Now, however, a large amount of tin is coming in from Kwangsi, and this, whilst being of a better quality than the Yunnan tin, running over 99% unrefined, contains a far higher proportion of Antimony. (See footnote.) The tins from the different sources are frequently mixed during refining, and if a batch of Yunnan tin does not easily refine up to standard, as judged by the visual method employed by the workers, then slabs of the purer antimonial Kwangsi tin are added to the melt, in order to bring the mixture to the required degree of purity. It seems probable that the film formation on the cooling buttons is mainly dependent upon the amount of lead present as impurity, and further, the method of refining does not appear as effective for antimony impurity as for lead. This process, whereby tins from different sources are mixed, does result in a decrease in the proportion of lead present, and so the batch may be adjudged as sufficiently pure and cast into ingots for export. But the decrease in the lead is necessarily accompanied by a smaller increase in the proportion of antimony present, and as this impurity does not appear to affect the film formation, its presence is not allowed for by the workmen. During the latter half of 1935 an unusually large proportion of tin ingots failed to pass as No.1, and the presence of the slowly soluble antimony was very noticeable in nearly all cases.\n\nWhilst no market fluctuations in quality would be expected to occur over the pouring of a whole large batch of slabs under the old conditions, it was thought that this mixing of tins from different sources would cause a variation in the quality of the metal between different parts of the same slab, and also between different slabs in the same batch. The metal is taken out in large ladles and poured into the moulds, and one ladle is divided between five or six moulds, whilst the composition of the main melt is varying continually according as more or less of the Kwangsi tin is added. Thus each large slab is made up of layers formed by successive additions, and these layers may be of differing composition. Moreover, each pouring is allowed to solidify before the next layer is added, the worker carrying on with the next lot of moulds, so that some time may elapse between successive additions; periodically there may be a complete break whilst a number of fresh slabs of crude tin are added to the melt and heated up. Each mould is filled as soon as the solidification of the successive layers will allow, and the same mould may be used several times for different slabs during the production of a large batch. When, therefore, a lot of 500 slabs is refined, which is the usual practice, there is every probability that the slabs will vary markedly in composition. Some will contain more antimony than others, and whilst all may pass the workmen's visual check, in actual fact a large proportion will be failures.\n\nIt was determined, therefore, to assay a series of samples on a large number of separate slabs from the same lot. Accordingly, a parcel of 300 slabs was sampled in the usual way by drilling 31 of the slabs, but the drillings from each slab were kept separate. A composite sample was made and assayed, and gave a figure of 99.05% tin. The separate samples from each slab were also assayed, and as expected, varied considerably, the lowest giving 98.76% tin, and the highest 99.32% tin. The average was 99.00%, which agreed",

        "content_text": "# THE HONG KONG WEEKLY PRESS & \n## May 15, 1936 \n### EXTRADITION PROCEEDINGS NEARING END \n#### Counsels' Submissions \n##### UNCORROBORATED EVIDENCE \n\nExtradition proceedings against four men, alleged fugitives from the Nanking Government in connection with the attempted assassination of Mr. Wang Ching-wei and Marshal Chiang Kai-shek, continued on Friday before Mr. W. Schofield at the Central Court.\n\nMr. Peter H. Sin appeared for the alleged fugitives while Mr. D. L. Strellet, of Messrs. G. K. Hall Brutton and Co., appeared for the prosecution.\n\nThe four fugitives who appeared before Mr. Schofield on Friday were Yu Lap-fai, Chan Chi-ping, Wu Tai-hoi and Cheung Chi-hon.\n\nIt will be recalled that the plotters formed a news-agency knowing that newspaper men were allowed to come into close contact with the officials for the purpose of taking pictures. This news-agency was called \"Kwong News Agency\" and under the guise of being a newspaper man, Suen Fung-ming, the actual assassin, with the help of a camera was thus able to get very close to the officials.\n\nAddressing His Worship, Mr. Sin, in submitting that he had no case to answer, said that the charge against the four alleged fugitives was that of a conspiracy to murder Mr. Wang Ching-wei. His Worship had heard numerous witnesses and he submitted that if any evidence was to go it was that of Wong Yan-san. He also submitted that as far as the testimonies of the other witnesses were concerned, they were fraught with no material evidence against the alleged fugitives.\n\nUpon reviewing Wong Yan-san's evidence, he had given remarkable details in all particulars and such testimony was too good to be true. He was the only witness who had alleged that the four fugitives had conversation with a mysterious person named Wong Ah-chui, whom he alleged to be the prime-mover in the plot to murder Marshal Chiang Kai-shek.\n\nMr. Sin's submission was that Wong Yan-san was in fact and in law an accomplice and if the whole of his evidence was to be believed then it was only the evidence of an accomplice against the four alleged fugitives. The Court, said Mr. Sin, exercises great care where an accomplice gives evidence. Counsel did not mean to say that the evidence of an accomplice was not admissible in law, but he submitted that the practice has almost become law that an accomplice's evidence requires corroboration.\n\nMr. Sin then quoted cases and submitted that he had never found a case yet where a Magistrate has committed on the uncorroborated evidence of an accomplice. He was a very clever young man, very evasive and very elusive, said Mr. Sin. He calls Wong Ah-chui the \"King of all murderers\" and yet at the young age of 19 he moves with that sort of man. What sort of a man was Wong Yan-san? He had admitted under cross-examination that he had assisted Wong Ah-chui in the murder and that he was one of the conspirators. He had helped most actively in the plot, asserted counsel, in that (1) he was seeing Wong Ah-chui all the time, (2) he loaned his house for the meetings of the conspirators and (3) he went to Shanghai to accompany the wife of Suen (the actual murderer) and for that reason was paid by Wah Hak-chee, who witness had said was one of the prime-movers of the conspiracy.\n\nIt was the submission of Mr. Sin that Wong Yan-san had not come down to Hong Kong voluntarily and was not, in counsel's opinion, questioned. It was the submission of Mr. Sin that Wong Yan-san had come down to tell his story and get some sort of a reward and to clear himself out of his trouble. And that he accordingly would ask His Worship to discharge the defendants.\n\n### CORROBORATIVE EVIDENCE \n\nMr. Strellett in reply said that the evidence of Wong Yan-san was that on which the prosecution undoubtedly relied and assuming that he was an accomplice, the first proposition that Mr. Sin put was that Magistrates do not convict on the uncorroborated evidence of an accomplice and said that there were no cases wherein he had found such proceedings. If that was the case then where did the cases which Mr. Sin quoted come from? It was this that Mr. Sin had seen many cases where the Magistrate had committed on the evidence of an accomplice but has he not recognised them.\n\nOne thing was the evidence of an accomplice was evidence in law and is evidence upon which a jury can convict. Another thing was that the old saying of judges in that if there were no corroborative evidence of an accomplice then the jury were told not to convict had been altered in that now the judge can only warn the jury on the danger of convicting on such evidence.\n\nWhen one starts on corroboration then one must corroborate the offence as well as connect the criminals with the offence. As far as the Magistrate was concerned, he need not worry about corroboration. All that the Magistrate had to judge was that whether there was some evidence upon which a jury might convict. Unless, therefore, His Worship was prepared to say that there was no evidence upon which a jury might convict then, Mr. Strellett suggested that what Mr. Sin had said about corroboration did not apply to the present case.\n\nUnless, concluded Mr. Strellett, Mr. Schofield was satisfied that the witness was an absolute liar, then his evidence does not need corroboration and that a prima facie case had been established.\n\nThe case was then adjourned until Wednesday, 13th.",

        "content_text": "# THE HONG KONG WEEKLY PRESS\n## A CASE TO ANSWER\n### Magistrate's Ruling\n#### EXTRADITION PROCEEDING\n\nThat the four alleged fugitives wanted by the Nanking Government in connection with the attempted assassination of Mr. Wang Ching Wei and Marshal Chiang Kai Shek had a case to answer in the extradition proceedings against them was the decision of the Central Magistrate, Mr. W. Schofield in answer to Mr. Peter H. Sin's plea at a previous hearing that his clients had no case to answer.\n\nMr. D. L. Strellet, of Messrs. G. K. Hall Brutton and Co., appeared for the prosecution.\n\nThe four fugitives who appeared before Mr. Schofield on Wednesday were Yu Lap-fai, Chan Chi-ping, Wu Tai-hoi and Cheung Chi-hon.\n\nOutlining his defence, Mr. Sin said that on the part of the first fugitive he will say that he never met Wong Ah-chui in Hong Kong, nor did he conspire with him or others, not in custody, to murder Marshal Chiang Kai-shek and Mr. Wang Ching-wei. If this mysterious person named Wong Ah-chui did conspire to murder these men, then he (first fugitive) was in no way to blame. He only met Wong Ah-san a few times. He was detained for 15 months on one occasion by Marshal Chiang Kai-shek owing to his subordinates causing a minor revolution and he (the first fugitive) being in command was blamed for the upheaval.\n\nHe will admit that he stayed at No. 10, Wing Hing Street where he shared a flat with a man named Chang. He then moved and stayed at No. 69, Shing Wo Road where Mr. Chang Yick-kin, the principal tenant, shared a flat with him. He had never met Wong Ah-chui nor had he any dealings with him.\n\nHe will submit to the Court that Wong Ah-chui was a person who held different political views from those of the Central Government, and thus because his extradition was sought, why should his (first fugitive's) also be sought? He will say that the evidence of Wong Ah-san was absolutely false. How Wong Ah-san came here, the first fugitive did not know, but there was a great deal behind these proceedings.\n\nThe second fugitive will say that he was a guest of the first fugitive and that he was a former member of the Executive Committee of the Seamen's Guild of Wo Hoo, Anhui Province. He came to Hong Kong and became the first fugitive's guest. He will also say that he never knew Wong Ah Chui nor had he conspired with him to murder the said statesmen as alleged.\n\nThe third fugitive will tell the court that he was formerly connected with General Mok Hung, then in command of the 88th Division, which division was connected with the Central Government. He was unemployed and came to Hong Kong to look for work. He was at one time a cook at Cheng Yick Kin's house at No. 69 Shing Wo Road and while he was thus employed, he was arrested. He had been asked by Mr. Cheng to carry certain documents to No. 92 Robinson Road and was asked to wait for him. He will also deny any suggestions of using a bomb in the Nanking outrage. In short, he had nothing to do with any conspiracy with Wong Ah-chui whom he had never met.\n\nThe fourth fugitive will deny point blank being related to Wong Ah-chui, or that his sister was married to him. At the time of his arrest, he was staying at No. 199 Wanchai Road. He had never met Wong Ah-chui or any of the other fugitives before he came to this court.\n\nAll the fugitives will say that the story as unfolded by Wong Ah-san was a fabricated one and will deny all the allegations in total.\n\nMr. Schofield said: Having consulted the cases quoted, I am satisfied that I am in no sense bound to dismiss this case nor am I in the position of a jury which has to be warned but which nevertheless can convict. That being so, there is evidence which raises a probable presumption of the fugitives' guilt and this is in fact my opinion. There is a case to answer.\n\nAfter the evidence of Cheung Kin-pui, translator of certain documents found on the third fugitive when arrested, the case was adjourned till today.\n\n## Page 864\nMay 22 \n24",

At 5:30 a.m. on the 11th January, 1937, the \"Cheong Keng\", an armed Customs' cruiser in the service of the Chinese Maritime Customs of the Republic of China, lying at Sam Mun, Bias Bay, in Chinese territory, weighed anchor and sailed for Hong Kong.\n\n2. At about 7:30 a.m. when in British waters, as the vessel was under way between a group of islands known as the \"Ninepins\", and the channel called \"Futaumun Pass\", leading to the entrance to Hong Kong harbour, the appellant, Chung Chi Cheung, an officers' cabin boy, shot and killed the Captain of the cruiser, Douglas Lorne Campbell, a British subject, shot and seriously wounded the Chief Officer, Chiu Cheung Koch, and finally shot himself in an attempt to commit suicide.\n\n3. The facts, which are not in dispute, sufficiently appear in the trial judge's notes of evidence, a copy of which will be found amongst the documents transmitted to Messrs. Reid Sharman & Co., of 36 Bedford Row, by Messrs. Hall Brutton & Co., the Solicitors for the appellant in Hong Kong for the purpose of printing the record herein, and in the depositions taken at the extradition proceedings, the depositions taken at the committal proceedings and the trial judge's summing up, certified copies of which respectively were forwarded to the Secretary of State for the Colonies by the Governor of Hong Kong, as enclosures to his despatch No.340 of 1938.",

Alternatively, the Crown submitted that the appellant did not establish by evidence the facts necessary to bring him within the protection (if any) afforded by the proviso.

On the 23rd October, 1937, the Officer Administering the Government of Hong Kong ordered that sentence should be respited accordingly, and the operation of such Order has been extended periodically up",

        "content_text": "Extracted from the SOUTH CHINA MORNING POST dated 27th July, 1939.\n\n66 (1) STATE OF WAR EXISTS CHIEF JUSTICE JUSTICE ON HOSTILITIES BETWEEN CHINA AND JAPAN WINDING UP OF SHIPPING FIRM\n\nWritten judgment on the petition brought by the Shiang Kee, otherwise known as the China Merchants Steam Navigation Co., Ltd., for the winding up of the Hongkong Branch of the Ching Kee Steam Navigation Co., Ltd. was delivered by the Chief Justice, Sir Atholl MacGregor, in the Supreme Court yesterday.\n\nHis Lordship granted the petition, holding that as the Company in China was in process of dissolution, an order for the winding up of the Hongkong branch ought to be made.\n\nIn the course of his judgment, His Lordship referred to the Sino-Japanese hostilities and said.—“Not only on the authorities which I have cited but also on my inescapable knowledge of conditions on the China coast, a state of war exists between China and Japan, and has existed at all times material to this application.\"\n\nThe petitioners were represented by Mr. Eldon Potter, K.C., and Mr. H. C. Macnamara, instructed by Mr. D. L. Strellett, of Geo. K. Hall & Brutton and Co. Mr. H. G. Sheldon, K.C., and the Hon. Mr. Leo D'Almada, Jnr., instructed by Mr. H. J. Armstrong of Deacons, opposed the petition on behalf of the following shareholders: Hsu Chin-tang (4,394 shares), Hsu Teh-yen (3,754), Cheng Teh-chun (2,502), Kao Yung-tong (2,044), Kao Cheung-chang (1,584), Yu Weh-ting (1,420), Yu Wei-fan (1,000), Li Yu-hsiang (70), Cheng Pen-ching (6,377), Cheng Chung-yu (6,176), Chang Chi-yu (5,623), Chang Pen-fah (5,429), Chang Hsin-teh (4,836), Chang Ming-teh (4,500) and the Dairen Kishen Kaisha, who are creditors to the amount of $47,157.32. All of them are of Dairen.\n\nIn his Judgment, the Chief Justice said:\n\nThe Ching Kee Steam Navigation Company Limited, which hereafter in this judgment I shall refer to as \"the company\" was duly incorporated and registered as a company with limited liability under the laws of the Republic of China on April 1, 1920. The head office of the company has at all material times been in Chefoo. The business of the company is and throughout has been that of ship-owners, carriers by sea, and other business in connection with shipping. Since the year 1920, the company has had a branch office in Hongkong. The company is an unregistered company so far as the laws of this Colony are concerned, and the jurisdiction invoked in this application is that conferred on this Court by Section 313 of the Companies Ordinance 1932, the material provisions of which are:\n\nProvisions of Law\n\n313 (1) (b) The circumstances in which an unregistered company may be wound up are as follows:- (i) If the company is dissolved, or has ceased to carry on business, or is carrying on business only for the purpose of winding up its affairs; (iii) If the Court is of opinion that it is just and equitable that the company should be wound up.\n\n313 (2) Where a company incorporated outside the Colony which has been carrying on business in the Colony ceases to carry on business in the Colony, it may be wound up as an unregistered company under this Part of the Ordinance notwithstanding that it has been dissolved or otherwise ceased to exist as a company under or by virtue of the laws of the country under which it was incorporated.\n\nThe facts, so far as they are material to this application, can be summarised quite briefly. The Company owns and operates twenty steamships. Eleven of these vessels are chartered to Japanese interests, three are engaged in ordinary shipping business, and the other six have, since August, 1937, been lying in the waters of the Colony. The only local activity of the Company during that period has been that one of the vessels was from November 1938 to February 25, 1939, chartered for use as a storage hulk.\n\nThe Dairen Kisen Kabushiki Kaisha, a corporation established under the laws of Japan, was appointed to act as agents of the Company in 1939, and the local representatives of that corporation purported to assume duty as agents of the company in Hongkong as from 1st February 1939.\n\nChungking's Order\n\nThe District Court of Chungking, having been duly authorised in that behalf by an order of the Supreme Court of China, in February 1939 ordered the immediate dissolution of the Company and appointed three liquidators. From that decision, an appeal was taken to the First Divisional Court of the Supreme Court of China, which on May 30 dismissed the appeal. That decision is final.\n\nThe present application is based on three grounds:\n\n(i) That there has been a winding-up order made by a court of competent jurisdiction in the country in which the company was incorporated, and, as a result of that winding-up, the corporate powers of the Company have been destroyed in the country of its origin;\n\n(ii) That the Company has in fact ceased to carry on business in the Colony; and\n\n(iii) That it is just and equitable that the Company should be wound up. The substratum of the Company has gone. It is a shipping company, and cannot carry on legitimate business because of the risk of seizure of their vessels by enemy forces. The only avenue of business open to the Company are either illegal trading with the enemy or work extraneous to the true objects of the company, such as the chartering of their vessels for use as hulks within this harbour.\n\nMr. Potter's Case\n\nOn the first of these grounds, Mr. Potter relies on the case of In re The Russian Bank for Foreign Trade (1933) Chancery 745. In that case, the Russian revolutionary legislation of 1917 and the following years had put an end to the juristic existence of banking companies incorporated in Russia, and it was held that the impossibility of a branch of such a Russian bank continuing to function according to its incorporating statutes was a sufficient ground for a winding-up order.\n\nIn delivering judgment, Maugham J (as he then was) said: \"The decrees as regards banks whose seats and principal offices were taken over by the state, must be regarded as so crippling the powers of the companies that, if not extinct, they could no longer exhibit any of the signs of life. At the best, the bank, as a legal corporation, deprived as it was of its assets and its corporators, became no more than a legal conception. Its branch in England, if an old metaphor may be employed, is now a submerged wreck floating on the ocean of commerce. As a branch of the original bank, it appears, however, to have or to have had creditors in this country, and if the petition before me is properly presented, I am of opinion both that the bank has ceased legally to carry on business, and that it is just and equitable that it should be wound up. The essential features of the case are, indeed, of a simple character. A corporation created and established under a foreign legal system has been allowed by our laws to carry on business and to incur debts in this country. Its corporate powers, if not its corporate existence, have been destroyed in its country of origin. It cannot be doubted that in such circumstances, the Court, if it has jurisdiction, ought to make an order which will secure as far as possible the payment of all just claims against the corporation.\"\n\nAn order was made for the compulsory winding-up of the company.\n\nEnglish Ruling\n\nIn his speech in the case of Lazard Bros. & Co. v. Midland Bank (1933) A.C.289 at 297, Lord Wright says: \"English courts have long since recognised as juristic persons corporations established by foreign law in virtue of the fact of their creation and\n\nTo be cont'd.",

The last feature has come to a head in a departmental inquiry which is, I believe, now proceeding. Whatever be the reason, whether the passing from their hands of passport control was felt as a loss of prestige, or because they were themselves, as is quite probable, embarrassed by the increased demands for use of their launches, there is little that can be said for the attitude taken.\n\nStill less can be said of the co-operation of the Treasury. I was so far from unwilling to accept guidance on methods of accounting that frequently, before my official appointment, and almost daily after the opening of the office, I was in contact with one or other of the senior officers of that department; there are still in existence account books of a form devised by them, and I gratefully acknowledge Mr. Burton's assistance in lending more suitable furniture for my shroffs. Mr. Fudney paid fairly frequent visits to my office, and was well aware of the harassing conditions under which I was working; when it was apparent to him that all was not well, helpful advice, let alone concrete help, simply ceased. There is no hint in his reports which have been brought before this Commission of his knowledge of the almost insufferable conditions of my work; he indeed recommended that ledgers and other books should be kept, but though he himself was the officer ultimately responsible for proper keeping of Government accounts, I cannot find that he ever represented to Government in aid of my own requests the urgent need of a trained accountant to put my accountancy into order which, as he was well aware, I had neither time nor staff to do myself. He did not offer to lend, nor regret his inability to lend, such an officer from his own department, nor suggest to me a suitable person to be engaged for the purpose, though I may presume he was better qualified to recommend an accountant than I was. The only suggestion bearing on this problem emanating from the Treasury was made on about 15th January, 1941, when he recommended that Mr. A.J.O. Taylor, transferred to my department as an A.C.O., should be called in to put my accounts in",

E. Ward\n* Mr. Robison\n* Mr. Betten\n* Miss Whyte\n\nThe meeting was held to discuss the possibilities of providing opportunities of apprenticeship or post-graduate practical training for local officers entering Government service in the spheres of Engineering, Education and Medicine. It was pointed out that we cannot afford to keep sending great numbers of local officers to this country for training and that facilities must therefore be provided locally, where possible.\n\n(a) Engineering  \nAt present engineers are only recruited to the Colonial Service if they have a registrable degree and some experience. They are not confirmed in their appointments until they hold the qualification of A.M.I.C.E. As it is often difficult to find recruits with experience, Mr. Betton welcomed the suggestion that the P.W.D. should provide apprenticeship training for local officers, the only possible objection being that it may be difficult to inaugurate such a scheme with the present shortage of staff in the P.W.D.\n\n(b) Education  \nThe suggestion was also welcomed by the Education Adviser as it is felt that it is necessary for a teacher to have a two-year apprenticeship in teaching after gaining his certificate. The system should apply to all schools in Hong Kong and not merely Government ones. It is, however, desirable, in the case of Education that candidates should have experience of teaching in the United Kingdom where this is possible. If the recommendation is carried out, it will mean that the local staff will be better qualified than those recruited from the U.K., since the latter are at present required to have experience.\n\n(c) Medicine  \nIt is certainly essential that an apprenticeship should be served either under a General Practitioner (who will have to be on a selected list), or in a hospital, before an appointment is taken up, as suggested in the Spens Report on the Remuneration of G.P.'s. It is suggested that such an apprenticeship should be made a condition of registration as a doctor in the Colony; this would involve legislation for which there are some precedents, though this is not yet the practice in the United Kingdom.\n\nThe meeting was to ascertain the views of the Advisers on this Chapter of the Report, as the Salaries Commission have only recommended that Government should make a special enquiry into the possibilities of local apprenticeships.\n\nColonial Office,  \n8th November, 1947.\n\nPage 10  \nPage 11",

We are, however, convinced of the value of such projects as a vegetable marketing scheme involving the monopoly of the collection, transport, and wholesale marketing of all vegetables grown in the New Territories which, once it has been started, should, we are advised, very soon become self-supporting. Before the war, Hong Kong produced only one-fifth of the vegetables consumed in the Colony. Dr. Herklots' scheme is designed to increase this figure very considerably. Further schemes are connected with the stepping up of production of pigs and poultry, and the conversion of urban sewage to use as agricultural fertilizer. All these are directly connected with the need to increase local food supplies in the face of world shortage of food and of fertilizers.\n\nThis further expenditure of £15,000 for which we seek sanction includes some provision for technical staff. I enclose a copy of a further savingram received from the Governor reporting that he wishes to make a local appointment as soon as your approval is received.\n\nYours sincerely,\n\n(Sgd.) A. D.

I agree with the suggestion in Mr Betton's minute 2% above is (a) confirm from Hong Kong that it is a visit that is required; and ask for approximate idea of length of such a visit.\n\nAt the same time (b) Approach Min of Town & Country Planning re the request at x1 of your minute 251, (assuming that it is a visit only). In the light of replies to (a) + (b) you can draft application for a Development scheme along the lines set out in 2.\n\n**REGilbert.**\n22\n\n## Mr. Mayle.\n\nWe spoke. The Governor has asked for \"the services of a Town Planning Expert of high repute\" as early as possible. My impression on reading the telegram at 1 was that the Town Planner was required to draw up a plan. The plan would be put into execution by the P.W.D. but it would be the intention that it should be worked out in some detail by the Town Planner. This would probably involve an appointment of 18 months or two years. An alternative interpretation of 1 which has been put forward by Mr. Betton, however, is that the Governor has in mind a short visit by a Town Planner in a consultative capacity only who would observe conditions on the spot and make a general report.\n\nIn either case we shall probably have to consult the Ministry of Town and Country Planning and you suggested that this might be done by a personal letter from Sir Thomas Lloyd to Sir Thomas K. Sheepshanks, K.B.E., C.B. If you agree, however, I think with Mr. Gilbert that we should first confirm from Hong Kong what they have in mind. Telegram herewith.\n\nDraft\n1. his\n7.2.47.",

        "content_text": "## \nYes, but the Gov. did the shen in he gave kin tely bowe. 28. \n\nMr. Mayle \n\nYou handed me back this file on Saturday and said that you did not agree with the proposed draft telegram to the Governor but thought that the first step should be to write semi-officially to the Ministry of Town and Country Planning and seek their advice. \n\nI find it difficult to draft such a letter since we do not know ourselves what is wanted and I cannot help thinking that the Governor is the person best able to say what he has in mind. Mr. Betton tells me that in other cases it has been necessary to go back to Governors and seek clearer definition of requirements before the Ministry of Town and Country Planning were able to give any assistance. There is now some urgency about this appointment as, not only does the Secretary of State regard it as important, but we have heard from the Governor on other papers that he is unable to progress with his C.D. and W. Development Plan until the services of a Town Planner are available. I wonder therefore whether you would reconsider action as in draft A rather than in draft B?\n\n10.2.47. \nI feel that little satisfaction would be gained by approaching the Ministry of Town and Country Planning before we know the Governor's requirements more clearly. When the time comes we should, I think, request the Ministry's assistance on specific points and I do not see how we can do so on the basis of the rather scanty information at present available. For this reason, I feel that it would be preferable to seek clarification of the position as in Draft 'A' before we approach the Ministry.\n\nI have explained this to Mr. Betton. \n15 Mr. Betton \nhor.

Common official agreement and Labour Regulations are just as good as non-existent.\n\n(4) Two weeks had hardly elapsed when the workers of Wah Hing Button Factory were confronted with a minatory notice from their employer. It conveyed the employer's order to reduce unconditionally the wages and was openly and boldly worded that his factory would follow the example of the measure of complete discharge adopted first by the Fung Kung Rubber Shoe Factory, should his workers say \"No\" to it.\n\nWith their celebrated example of complete discharge adopted first by Fung Kung Rubber Shoes Factory, the manner of most of the general employers is growing arrogantly immovable in their dealings with our workers; the low-margin subsistence of our workers in this Colony is totally placed under the menace of unexpected and ubiquitous massive unemployment, and worst of all, Communist agitation is rampantly canvassing for a chance of infiltration.\n\n(The disastrous effects would have been easily imagined by any observer that what fate else except hunger and destitution, have befallen those poor rubber shoes workers whose daily bitter existence hangs only on meager wages, viz. an average daily payment of 60 cents (some 30 cents) to H.K.$1.00 that only enables the common citizen to buy three or two apples or one pack of cigarettes, as was authentically discovered by Mr. Krane and Mr. Dally, the ICFTU's Delegation to Hong Kong. In the course of this period of about a month, life for them has been more and more fraught with obvious depressing worries and bitter sufferings; hunger has virtually become part of their daily life. It is impossible for them to cope with the exigencies of even a scanty life with just a place to sleep and some clothes to don. No one would have expected some savings of them whose livelihood was scarcely carried on with little wages. Starvation and the tragedy of human life are imminent on these one thousand and seven hundred workers.\n\nWhat this TUC, being constantly badly in lack of operative fund, can do is only to mobilize all the workers' associations to tender material and moral support to these discharged workers to render them tenable, not against the oppression of the employer as the latter has already achieved the triumph with impunity, but against the fatal attack of starvation.\n\nBut what shall this TUC and the general workers do when presently this unfavorable tendency is allowed to prevail with other employers likely to discharge unrestrainedly more and more workers, we dare not visualize how heavy the burden will be on the shoulders of those still in employment but with scanty wages to support the livelihood of those discharged workers still increasing in number.\n\n(b) Naturally, the privation of our liberty-loving and law-abiding bona fide workers is the enjoyment of our enemies, the Communist agents, whose propaganda is desperately depreciating and",

The founding of businesses on a \"shoestring\" shows both faith and initiative but has serious defects unless adequately controlled.\n\n395.\n\n(iii) RUBBER INDUSTRY\n\nOver forty factories engaged in making rubber goods of various kinds are registered with the Department of Labour, the majority of the works being situated in Kowloon. Unfortunately, the rising tempo of war preparations in various parts of the world has had serious repercussions on the price of smoked rubber sheets and latex. Difficulties have been mounting steadily since the outbreak of the war in Korea. The almost prohibitive cost of rubber coupled with reduced overseas demand for finished products has compelled most factories to slow down their activities or to suspend work altogether, although there are now signs of some revival.\n\n396. The rubber industry in Hong Kong has a long history and in the past has played a major role in the industrial life of the Colony. In 1949, the export of rubber footwear, to which more than half of the capacity of the industry is devoted, exceeded 13 million dollars, constituting over 18% of total exports. The bulk of locally produced rubber footwear was exported to Britain and British possessions, but before the recent change of Government in China, there was an active market in South China.\n\n397. The demand from Britain and British possessions is said to have declined recently because rubber prices have soared so steeply and market prices have not kept pace with the increase. Some firms are alleged to have disposed of their stocks of raw rubber in the market, as by so doing they were able to secure greater returns than by continuing production.\n\n398.\n\nThere is evidence of spasmodic collective bargaining in this industry, but wage rates tend to be somewhat lower than in the textile industry. The majority of the more skilled women workers, however, seem to earn about $3 a day in the larger undertakings.\n\n399.\n\nThis is certainly an industry which, in more normal times, might warrant the imposition of a Trade Board, but the provisions of food, etc., as part of wages considerably complicate matters, and a survey of wage rates seems to be indicated when once again rubber prices are more normal and the industry reasonably active.\n\n400.\n\n(iv) BUTTON MAKING\n\nThirteen button-making factories employing over 600 workers are now in operation. The materials used include ivory, nuts, coconut shells, sea shells, and bone.\n\n401.\n\nWage rates are calculated on monthly rates, daily rates, and piece rates. There seems to be no wage...",

        "content_text": "CONFIDENTIAL 53\n\nA.\n\nSection 1.\n\nCOMMENTS ON\n\nNOTE FOR PUBLICATION.\n\nGeneral.\n\n(a) Employment figures for December 1949:\n\nTotal number employed in cotton textiles (including spinning, knitting, garment-making, hosiery and cloth calendering) - 20,649 in 372 concerns.\n\n(b) Big expansion in spinning to: 12 mills with 5,971 workers. Automatic looms now in 4 weaving concerns; in one more now being installed - beginning of modernisation in weaving section.\n\n(d) Very large proportion of very small concerns in all except spinning section:\n\n(i) Knitting, garments and hosiery combined: one half of total number of concerns employ 20 workers or under; and less than one-sixth employ 50 or over.\n\n(ii) Weaving: a little over one-third employ 20 or under, and a little less than a third 50 or over.\n\n(iii) In addition, large numbers of unregistrable places are run more or less as family concerns, making garments and hand-woven material.\n\n(e) Not quite accurate to say that the garment-making section is carried on in independent factories - true for shirts of woven material, but where of knitted material frequently knitting and garment-making done by same factory.\n\n(f)\n\nThe following extract from a report on the Knitted Piece Goods Industry made in February 1948 is still relevant:\n\n\"In making knitted piece goods there are two distinct sections: I. manufacture of the rolls of knitted material; II. making up the material into a variety of garments of all sizes and styles: vests, singlets, pants, open-necked sports shirts and shirts with a button opening at the neck.\n\nOf the one hundred and seven factories inspected, thirty-seven had only section I, twenty-six only section II, and the remaining forty-four worked all processes from the yarn to the completed garment. A number of factories have in addition their own dyeing plant but this is not universal.\"\n\n(i) Tempo and output. Generally speaking, true to say that the output of a Chinese workman is considerably less than that of an English workman of similar skill, but it is not true of the spinning operatives.\n\nThe spinning mills, run on modern lines with modern machinery, and skill and output of operatives the equal of their Lancashire counterpart. This greater concentration compensated for by better wages (higher general average than elsewhere), good factory conditions, subsidised food, free quarters, free medical attention and some recreational facilities.\n\nThe tempo of certain processes in garment-making can be fairly quick, but work usually not nearly as sustained and continuous.\n\n(ii) Workers have comparative freedom to come and go during working hours, and also to take casual leave. Common in all except spinning for workers to supply a substitute for a period of casual leave desired for any important family affairs.\n\nThe provision of a substitute is not always required as the larger concerns often have one or two workers specifically for that purpose and, in smaller concerns, a member of the proprietor's family can often do the job.",

It is rare for women to be employed in the Building Industry for anything but unskilled work - earth carrying, etc. average hours 8-9, and daily earnings $2 - $3.50.\n\nElectric Torch Cases & Hardware: more than $3 not common (ii) - £ exchange. This would be better excluded as it is misleading the U.K. reader will inevitably compare Hong Kong wages with his own in terms of £ s. d. and not in terms of what it can buy and the general way of life.\n\n(b) The following extract from a report made in March 1949 on 21 factories making garments (chiefly shirts) from woven materials summarises wages for a 9-11 hour day in this section of the textile industry:\n\nthere is considerable similarity in conditions in those factories listed as garment-making and those in the garment-making section of the knitting industry. So it is, also, with the types of work done. The chief difference is that unless underwear or other garments in locknit material are being made there are few or no seamers or menders required; while in shirtmaking out of woven material, there is a specialised section for collar making. The types of work are:\n\n  \n    Cutting\n    - With one exception done by men.\n  \n  \n    Collar Sewing\n    - With the exception of a few women in one factory, done by men.\n  \n  \n    Sewing\n    Usually women, occasionally men.\n  \n  \n    Seaming (few)\n    - Men, and very often apprentices.\n  \n  \n    Buttonhole Sewers\n    Usually women; sometimes men or apprentices.\n  \n  \n    Button Sewing\n    Women.\n  \n  \n    Menders (few)\n    -\n  \n  \n    Ironers\n    Mostly men; some women.\n  \n  \n    General Workers (folders, packers, etc.)\n    Mostly men; some women.\n  \n  \n    (10) Embroidery (very few)\n    Women.\n  \n  \n    Rates and Wages\n    In\n  \n\nThe wages of men employed in this industry were reckoned generally either by piece rates or on a monthly basis. Only one instance was encountered of a man who was on a flat daily rate. The women, with the exception of the employees of the Maymoon Factory where three were on a monthly basis and the rest on daily pay, and a few other isolated cases of menders, button sewers and general workers on a flat daily rate, all were on piece rates. The few instances where men and women in the same factory were doing the same work, piece rates were the same for both. Daily averages for women on piece rates were easier to calculate than those for men as women's hours are more closely regulated while men's are unrestricted and the output given in some instances must have been for a greater number of hours than the regular working day.\n\nRates and wages in individual processes are as follows:-",

        "content_text": "A\n\nCONFIDENTIAL\n\nCOMMENTS ON\n\nNOTE FOR PUBLICATION.\n\nSection 1. General.\n\n(a) Employment figures for December 1949:\n\nTotal number employed in cotton textiles (including spinning, knitting, garment-making, hosiery and cloth calendering) - 20,649 in 372 concerns.\n\n(b) Big expansion in spinning to: 12 mills with 5,971 workers. Automatic looms now in 4 weaving concerns; in one more now being installed – beginning of modernisation in weaving section.\n\n(d) Very large proportion of very small concerns in all except spinning section:\n\n(1) Knitting, garments and hosiery combined: one half of total number of concerns employ 20 workers or under; and less than one-sixth employ 50 or over.\n\n(ii) Weaving: a little over one-third employ 20 or under, and a little less than a third 50 or over.\n\n(iii) In addition, large numbers of unregistrable places are run more or less as family concerns, making garments and hand-woven material.\n\n(e) Not quite accurate to say that the garment-making section is carried on in independent factories - true for shirts of woven material, but where of knitted material frequently knitting and garment-making done by same factory.\n\nThe following extract from a report on the Knitted Piece Goods Industry made in February 1948 is still relevant:-\n\n\"In making knitted piece goods there are two distinct sections: I. - manufacture of the rolls of knitted material; II. - making up the material into a variety of garments of all sizes and styles: vests, singlets, pants, open-necked sports shirts and shirts with a button opening at the neck.\n\nOf the one hundred and seven factories inspected, thirty-seven had only section I, twenty-six only section II, and the remaining forty-four worked all processes from the yarn to the completed garment. A number of factories have in addition their own dyeing plant but this is not universal.\"\n\n(1) Tempo and output. Generally speaking, true to say that the output of a Chinese workman is considerably less than that of an English workman of similar skill, but it is not true of the spinning operatives.\n\nThe spinning mills, run on modern lines with modern machinery, and skill and output of operatives the equal of their Lancashire counterpart. This greater concentration compensated for by better wages (higher general average than elsewhere), good factory conditions, subsidised food, free quarters, free medical attention and some recreational facilities.\n\nThe tempo of certain processes in garment-making can be fairly quick, but work usually not nearly as sustained and continuous.\n\n(11) Workers have comparative freedom to come and go during working hours, and also to take casual leave. Common in all except spinning for workers to supply a substitute for a period of casual leave desired for any important family affairs.\n\nThe provision of a substitute is not always required as the larger concerns often have one or two workers specifically for that purpose and, in smaller concerns, a member of the proprietor's family can often do the job.",

        "content_text": "# Section 2. Wages.\n\n(a) (1) Reference wages quoted in the note.\n\nBuilding Construction: semi-skilled: women - $3.50 - $7 It is rare for women to be employed in the Building Industry for anything but unskilled work - earth carrying, etc. average hours 8-9, and daily earnings $2 - $3.50.\n\nElectric Torch Cases & Hardware: more than $3 not common (11) § - £ exchange. This would be better excluded as it is misleading the U.K. reader will inevitably compare Hong Kong wages with his own in terms of £ s. d. and not in terms of what it can buy and the general way of life.\n\n(b) The following extract from a report made in March 1949 on 21 factories making garments (chiefly shirts) from woven materials summarises wages for a 9-11 hour day in this section of the textile industry:\n\n... there is considerable similarity in conditions in those factories listed as garment-making and those in the garment-making section of the knitting industry. So it is, also, with the types of work done. The chief difference is that unless underwear or other garments in locknit material are being made there are few or no seamers or menders required; while in shirtmaking out of woven material, there is a specialised section for collar making. The types of work are:\n\n  \n    1.\n    Cutting\n    With one exception done by men.\n  \n  \n    2.\n    Collar Sewing\n    With the exception of a few women in one factory, done by men.\n  \n  \n    3.\n    Sewing\n    Usually women, occasionally men.\n  \n  \n    4.\n    Seaming (few)\n    Men, and very often apprentices.\n  \n  \n    \n    Buttonhole Sewers\n    Usually women; sometimes men or apprentices.\n  \n  \n    \n    Button Sewing\n    Women.\n  \n  \n    \n    Menders (few)\n    Mostly men; some women.\n  \n  \n    \n    Ironers\n    Mostly men; some women.\n  \n  \n    \n    General Workers (folders, packers, etc.)\n    Women.\n  \n  \n    (10)\n    Embroidery (very few)\n    \n  \n\nRates and Wages.\n\nThe wages of men employed in this industry were reckoned generally either by piece rates or on a monthly basis. Only one instance was encountered of a man who was on a flat daily rate.\n\nThe women, with the exception of the employees of the Maymoon Factory where three were on a monthly basis and the rest on daily pay, and a few other isolated cases of menders, button sewers and general workers on a flat daily rate, all were on piece rates. The few instances where men and women in the same factory were doing the same work, piece rates were the same for both. Daily averages for women on piece rates were easier to calculate than those for men as women's hours are more closely regulated while men's are unrestricted and the output given in some instances must have been for a greater number of hours than the regular working day.\n\nRates and wages in individual processes are as follows:",
