Oolongs: Common to good cargo, 20 to 28 taels, short; fine, 30 to 33 taels, short; sales, 22,300 half-chests. Flowery Pekoes: Common to medium, no sales; fine to finest, no sales. Scented Teas: Common to medium, 18 taels, short; fine to finest, 28 to 36 taels, short; sales, 15,656 boxes.\n\nCANTON-Country Congous: Three chops have been taken at from Tls. 17 to 18, leaving a stock of 54 chops or 3,764 pkgs. Although musters of a few chops of the new crop have arrived, it would be premature as yet to express any opinion concerning them. Country Greens remain unnoticed. Canton-made Teas: Considerable settlements have taken place both in Scented Orange Pekoes and Scented Capers; prices have been somewhat irregular, but as a rule they are tending upwards. Canton Congou of new make has received rather more than usual attention, and Gunpowders have been inquired for to a moderate extent. Quotations are as follows:-\n| Tea Type | Price (Tls.) |\n| --- | --- |\n| Country Congou | 17 to 18 |\n| Canton Congou (new make) | 24 to 27 |\n| Young Hyson | 22 |\n| Scented Orange Pekoe | 23 to 32 |\n| Scented Caper | 13.5 to 29 |\n| Gunpowder | 20 to 27 |\n\nElls and Lastings show a slight improvement in price, a slight demand having arisen for these goods; Long Ells continue very scarce. Metals: Lead continues firm, as a Canton demand still continues; other metals remain much as before reported. Coals continue firm; a cargo of 1,100 tons Bristol Channel Coal has been sold at 16 dols. per ton ex ship.\n\n**SHANGHAI MARKET REPORT**\n\nThe market has somewhat improved; the arrival of the steamer from Tientsin having given an impetus to several articles-any improvement in that market acts favourably on prices here. Grey Shirtings are in fair demand, and holders not forcing sales, prices are steady at quotations; best Eagles 8 lbs. 4 oz. tls. 2.00. T-Cloths: A little lower for inferior makes, but best goods still wanted; of these there are but few. White Shirtings are quite neglected; Drills in better inquiry and prices rather firmer. Woollens: Long Ells. 7.95 for H.H. assorted, and 7.20 for C.P.II.; Scarlet do not maintain their value of a fortnight since. Camlets: A few sales of favourite colours are reported at fair prices, but ordinary assortments continue very dull of sale. Spanish Stripes: 1.H. have been sold at 65 cents per yard; the demand is not active, and in other woollens there is no new feature. Metals: There is little change to note; buyers have fairly supplied themselves; stocks have not been increased, and prices remain about the same; Nail Rod, for best brands, tls. 2.50 to 2.55 per picul. Coals: Stocks have been increased by the vessels named as arrived from Sydney, and the cargo of the Lady Alice from Nagasaki. Quotations: Cardiff, from ships' side, tls. 15, N. Wales, tls. 14, nominal; English, s. 14 to 15, nominal; Anthracite, tls. 13 to 13.50, nominal sales, to arrive, at tls. 13.25.\n\n**YOKOHAMA MARKET REPORT**\n\nA decided improvement is noticeable in Grey Shirtings and Cotton Yarn, and a good business, both on the spot and to arrive, has been done in both staples at a slight advance on our last quotations. Stocks of Yarn are very light. We have to notice a contract just concluded for 156 bales, to be delivered in six weeks, at the following rates:-\n| Quantity | Price |\n| --- | --- |\n| 16 to 24 | $3.68 |\n| 28 to 32 | $3.70 |\n| 38 to 42 | $3.78 |\n\nA fair inquiry has commenced for Chintzes and other light summer goods, and it is worth notice that, in consequence of rumours that the French contracts for Black Cloth will be annulled, this article is again saleable, and a slight demand has sprung up. Most other Woollens continued quite inactive, a forced sale of Camlets S.S at $15.50 being the only transaction calling for remark. In Metals, more business is doing; a demand existing for hoop and Nail Rod Iron and bead, and some improvement in prices is apparent.\n\n## CHINA EXPORTS\n\n### TEA\n\n#### YOKOHAMA\n\nThe new season has been opened by the arrival of about 700 piculs of medium and good medium teas, the bulk of which was bought to complete the cargo of the Benefactress for New York, at an unnecessarily high figure: say from 27.50 to 30 dollars. The quality of this first sample is not satisfactory, but considerable arrivals are now daily expected, when we shall have fair opportunities of judging of the character of the new crop. The remaining stock of last season's tea is about 2,000 piculs, and quite unsaleable. We give no quotations, therefore, for any but the kinds at which, as we have stated, business has been done.\n\n#### SHANGHAI\n\nBlack.--A small inquiry has sprung up during the past few days for the new Ningchows and Hohows, and as much as Tls. 24.0.0 has been paid for a chop of each kind. Settlements have been light, but a very large amount of reshipments have taken place. The rates paid for the finest Teas are about equivalent to those ruling at the opening of last season, but fair and medium are obtainable at somewhat easier prices. \n| Category | Quantity (Chests) |\n| --- | --- |\n| Settlements for the fortnight | 3,700 |\n| Reshipments on owners' account | 68,400 |\n| Stock | 26,500 |\n\nQuotations.-Hobow, fine to finest, 32 to 34 tls. per pcl.; Congou, common, 23 to 28 tls. per pcl.; Ningchow, fair to finest, 29 to 34 tls. per pcl.; Pouchong, 29 tls. per pcl. Green. Only two chops of common Tea have been settled during the fortnight at Tls. 23.5.0, and the season is nearly closed. \n| Category | Quantity (Half-Chests) |\n| --- | --- |\n| Settlements for the fortnight | 415 |\n| Stock | 5,000 |\n\n#### HANKOW\n\nThe business of the fortnight has been exceptionally large, and shipments continue on an enormous scale. Two settlements of finest Teas have been made at full rates, while medium to fine have advanced in value early Tls. 2.0.0. At the same time sales have been somewhat irregular. Quotations were-Oopacks and Congou-kais, medium to good, Tls. 24.0.0 to 29.5.0; finest, Tls. 30.0.0 to 31.5.0 Oonams, fair to fine, Tls. 19.0.0 to 24.5.0. \n| Category | Quantity |\n| --- | --- |\n| Export of Tea from 1st January to 15th June, 1867 | 11,591,467 lbs. |\n| Export of Tea from 1st January to 15th June, 1866 | 7,414,926 lbs. |\n| Increase, 1867 | 4,176,541 lbs. |\n| Stocks | 29,000 chests |\n\n#### KIIKIANG\n\nBlack Teas: About 25,000 packages are to hand. With the exception of the purchase of two small chops at tls. 26.0.0 nothing was done on the market till the 11th, when six full chops of finest Ningchows found buyers at tls. 25.5.0 to 28.0.0 per picul, and since that date little has been doing. \n| Category | Quantity (Packages) |\n| --- | --- |\n| Export from 1st January to 15th June, 1867 | 15,097 |\n| Export for the same months of 1866 | 17,106 |\n| Decrease, 1867 | 2,009 |\n| Stock | 30 chops |\n\n#### FOOCNOW\n\nCongou: The price for the finer descriptions has continued firmly supported during the past fortnight; the rates for the commoner grades, which were slightly easier after the departure of the last mail, have advanced to about the former scale, in consequence of the demand for Australia. Souchong: The teas, being generally of good quality, have been freely taken for shipment to the United Kingdom; a large proportion of this description is more or less \"tarry.\" Oolongs: Full prices have been paid for these kinds, but rates are now slightly easier; the demand for America has not yet commenced. Scented Teas: Those at first offered were deficient in scent, the flowers being very backward; the teas have in many instances, however, commanded full prices; those now coming forward are better scented. \n| Tea Type | Sales (Chests) | Price (Taels) |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Congou: Dust and broken leaf kinds | ... | 8 to 9, short |\n| Congou: Ordinary common | ... | 10 to 14, short |\n| Congou: Light flavoury | ... | 19 to 24, short |\n| Congou: Good flavoury to medium Kysow kinds | ... | 25 to 32, short |\n| Congou: Fine Kysow kinds | ... | 32 to 40, short |\n| Congou | 31,326 | ... |\n\n### SILK\n\n#### YOKOHAMA\n\nBusiness has, of course, been on a very small scale during the fortnight. The exhaustion of our stock is sufficient to account for this, even with the general suspension of home orders, consequent on the fear of war and uncertainty regarding the new European crop. Stocks do not exceed 250 piculs, chiefly of mixed, low kinds.\n\n#### SHANGHAI\n\nDuring the past fortnight considerable transactions have taken place at higher rates, and the settlements are estimated at fully 4,000 bales: making a total of 5,700 bales since the 1st June. The demand has been chiefly for chops and good silks, and lower grades would have been bought at comparatively cheaper rates.\n\n#### CANTON\n\nAfter the arrival of the English mail with rumours that the total yield of the Continental crop would be much smaller than that of last year a good demand for fine silk sprung up. Quotations are as follows:-\n| Silk Type | Price (Dols.) |\n| --- | --- |\n| Loongkong, No. 1 | 560 to 566 |\n| Loongkong, No. 2 | 545 to 550 |\n| Kowkong | 500 to 510 |\n| Rec'd Cumchuck | 595 to 600 |\n\n## SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE\n\n### ARRIVALS\n\n| Port | Ship | Origin | Date |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Hong Kong | Helen | Newcastle | June 16 |\n| Hong Kong | Princess | Cardiff | 23 |\n| Hong Kong | Stuart Wortley | Clyde (via Singapore) | 27 |\n| Hong Kong | Tai-wang (steamer) | ... | 21 |\n\n### DEPARTURES\n\n| Port | Ship | Destination | Date |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Hankow | Challenger | London | June 17 |\n| Hankow | Ada | London | 19 |\n| Shanghai | Gossamer | London | 18 |\n| Shanghai | Whinfell | London | 21 |\n| Foochow | Flying Spur | London | 9 |\n| Foochow | Black Prince | London | 10 |\n| Hong Kong and Canton | Ajax (str.) | London | 27 |\n\n## VESSELS LOADING\n\n| Port | Ship | Destination |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Yokohama | Havelock | New York |\n| Shanghai | Isles of the South | London |\n| Shanghai | Elmstone | London |\n| Foochow | Chusan | London |\n\n## FREIGHTS AND CHARTERS\n\n| Port | Route | Freight Rate |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Yokohama | To London | £3 to £3 10s. per ton |\n| Yokohama | To New York | £2 10s. to £3 |\n| Shanghai | To London | £3 to £3 10s. per ton |\n| Foochow | To London | £3 10s. per ton |\n| Hong Kong and Canton | To London | 43s. per ton |\n\n## MISCELLANEOUS\n\nThe P.M.S.S.

        "content_text": "## THE LONDON AND CHINA TELEGRAPH\n\n### ARTICLES OF IMPORT\n\n#### TEA\nThe public sale of last week was larger than any that have been held for many months past, and consisted principally of a good selection of Congous and Scented Teas. The prices obtained for Congous were very irregular, owing to the hesitation of buyers; but, on the whole, they showed a decline on those given at the last sale. There is no alteration of importance in the value of Scented Teas, with the exception of the lower grades of Scented Orange Pekoes, which are rather lower, and all descriptions of Green Tea realised full prices. Some dust sold at the sale at 4d. to 6d., but it was offered \"with all faults.\" Some interest was taken in a few parcels of Japan Greens, of Rifleman, which has just arrived, and a few transactions in them have taken place, and the remainder of this cargo will no doubt be readily disposed of, as there is a good demand for all descriptions of Green Teas. The market price of Common Congou is 11d. per lb. Sound Broken Leaf can be bought at 6½d. per lb., and Tea Dust at about 5½d. per lb.\n\n#### SILK\nSince our last report the Silk market has experienced little or no change, no one buying beyond present requirements. The absence of demand, both at home and abroad, has been almost unprecedented, and prices are mostly nominal. The arrival this week of some of the early shipments of the new China crop has created a slight diversion, about 400 bales finding buyers; the opening price of Tsatlee being 26s. to 30s. In Canton Silk there has been some little business doing at rather easier rates, but the assortment is by no means generally desirable. Japan Silk is quite neglected. The total deliveries show a slight improvement, being 407 bales China, and 234 bales Japan. We can as yet discern no general improvement in the Silk market; the first unloading of new Chinas has naturally attracted some attention, and led to some little business, but there is no disposition on the part of the trade to buy more Silk than is absolutely necessary, and speculation seems out of the question. The opening price for classic No. 3 Tsatlee, 29s., is higher than some people expected, but appears moderate as compared with the quotations we have for some time past been accustomed to. There is a wide margin between chop Silk and medium and inferior descriptions, red Peacock having been sold at 26s. 6d., and good No. 4 at 26s. The estimate of export for the season has been reduced by recent telegrams from China to 40,000 bales, and if the reported failure of the second crop prove true, it is possible that even this figure may not be reached. In Japan Silk there is nothing doing, the best descriptions of Mibash are firmly held, but ordinary and inferior qualities are pressed for sale.\n\n| Description | Price |\n| --- | --- |\n| Taatlee, No. 1 & 2 | 26 0 to 30 0 |\n| No. 3 | 24 0 to 27 0 |\n| Tsenfa and Hainio, No. 1 & 2 | 20 0 to 23 0 |\n| No. 3 | 18 0 to 20 0 |\n| Tarsaam, No. 1 & 2 | 18 0 to 23 0 |\n| No. 3 | 14 0 to 20 0 |\n| Long Reel Skeins | ... |\n| Canton | ... |\n| Japan: Tsinchew & Sinchew, No. 1 & 2 | 17 0 to 23 0 |\n| Ida, Bricks, No. 1 & ... | 21 0 to 26 0 |\n| No. 3 | 27 0 to 30 0 |\n| Soudni, No. 1 & 2 | 21 0 to 26 0 |\n| No. 3 | 21 0 to 26 0 |\n\n#### COTTON\nThe market since our last report has remained extremely quiet, the business having been to some extent restricted by the firmness of holders. The only sale of China reported is of 30 bales fair quality at 6¼d. per lb.\n\n#### SUGAR\nThere has been a fair demand from the trade, but speculators having done but little in the article scarcely any alteration in prices has taken place, and quotations of most descriptions are about the same as on the 8th ult. Foreign refined continues to be offered at prices lower than to allow the English refiners to compete with profitable results, but as the prospects of supply from the cane-growing countries indicate an out-turn by no means equal to our requirements, it is not probable that any material fall in values will take place, unless, indeed, the production of beetroot sugar should be on a larger scale than hitherto. The deliveries in all the sugar-consuming countries are progressing most satisfactorily, showing a decided and steady increase. The last sale of the Dutch Trading Company took place on the 24th ult., and comprised 39,000 baskets, Java; grey and yellow realised the rates current at the May sale, but white sold at 1s. decline. The principal transactions on the spot have comprised 14,000 casks West India; 16,000 bags Mauritius; 8,000 bags Bengal; 14,000 bags Madras; 1,500 bags Penang; 33,000 bags Manila; 1,200 casks Cuba and Porto Rico, and 850 bags Guatemala. The imports of sugar into the United Kingdom during the seven months ending 31st July amounted to 341,758 tons, against 322,277; the deliveries for home consumption were 316,846 tons, against 272,761, and for export and coastwise 5,966 tons, against 18,006. The stock on the 1st August was 189,736 tons, against 221,253 at the same date in 1866.\n\n#### SPICES\nAt the quarterly sales on the 29th ultimo, comprising 1,260 tons, bales Ceylon, good and fine qualities were difficult to sell, and only partly realised at moderate prices; medium quality brought full rates, and the inferior sorts an advance of 1d. to 2d. on the April sales, viz., fourths 1s. 3d. to 1s. 9d., thirds 1s. 10d. to 2s. 1d., seconds 2s. to 2s. 6d., firsts 2s. 6d. to 2s. 9d., and superior 2s. 6d. to 3s. 1d. per lb. Mace continues scarce and firm; 2 cases Penang at auction sold at 1s. 10d. to 1s. 11d. per lb. for medium reddish. Nutmegs are 1¼d. to 2d. per lb. dearer, with increased inquiry; good business done privately; 14 cases Penang and 37 cases Batavia sold at auction at 1s. 2d. to 1s. 9d. per lb. for ordinary small to middling medium. Sapanwood: Steady, and tons Siam at auction realised £12 to £12 15s., also one-third of 35 tons Ceylon offered, realised £10 15s. per ton.\n\n#### COFFEE\nThere has been a good demand, and although supplies have been ample, the values of good current descriptions have been maintained. Fine sorts have shown an advancing tendency, but common and low qualities have sold irregularly and at lower rates. The shipments from Ceylon at the last returns were 714,000 cwts., against 723,000 last season, made up of 545,000 cwts. Plantation and 169,000 cwts. Native, against 510,000 and 213,000, and the quantity now afloat for this country is 18,000 tons, against 18,000 last year. The principal transactions on the spot, with the latest prices paid, have comprised 6,000 casks 2,000 bags Plantation Ceylon, low middling to good bold greens 74s. 6d. to 84s. 6d., low middling to good middling blue 74s. 6d. to 82s., bold 85s. 6d., peaberry 91s. to 95s.; 200 casks 2,500 bags Native Ceylon, fine ordinary bold 64s., good ordinary 59s., small 50s., peaberry 65s. 6d. to 65s.; and 8,000 packages East India - Singapore, ordinary 45s. to 48s., Java 68s. The total deliveries of coffee in Holland from the 1st of January to the 31st of July were 484,694 bags, against 358,307 bags in 1866, and the stock at the end of last month was 525,500 bags, against 580,100 bags.\n\n#### CURRANTS\nIn fair demand, and 2,000 packages good Pegu have realised 37s. to 38s. per cwt.\n\n#### CAMPHOR\nChina and Japan descriptions are firm, with fair private business at £6 15s. to £7 per cwt.\n\n#### GUM BENJAMIN\nThe market is steady, and of 56 cases Siam at auction half sold at £24 to £24 15s. per cwt. For fine third quality, and £11 to £11 15s. for dark. Of 42 cases Sumatra three-fourths sold at £8 2s. 6d. to £8 12s. 6d. per cwt. for false packed second quality.\n\n#### GALLS\nThe transactions have comprised 100 cases China at 6¼s., and a small portion Japan at 5¾s. per cwt.\n\n#### MANILA HEMP\nThe market is now firm, with a moderate business at fully the previous rates, 587 bales having been sold at auction at £49 10s. to £50 5s. per ton for fair current quality.\n\n#### PEPPER\nThere has been a fair inquiry for black privately, and nearly 8,000 bags have been sold, Penang at 2¼d. to 2 15/16d., Singapore 3d. to 5/16d., and Tellicherry at 3¼d. At public sale, 840 bags Penang were all taken at 2¼d.; also 164 bags Singapore White at 5d. to 5¼d., and 100 bags privately at 5d. cash.\n\n#### RICE\nA rise in the Corn market, consequent upon the uncertain weather, has been followed by a movement in this article. Owing, however, to the small stock there has been but little in which to operate on the spot, and in consequence the greater part of the transactions have taken place in floating cargoes or parcels. About 18,000 bags have changed hands on the spot at full to rather higher prices, viz., 10s. 9d. to 12s. 3d. for Soft-grain, and 16s. to 16s. 6d. for white Bengal. Of floating cargoes about forty have changed hands, the latest sales being at 11s. to 11s. 3d. for ...\n\n#### TAPIOCA\nAt auction 136 bags Singapore were chiefly sold, good middling and good white 4¼d. to 5d. per lb.; and 165 bags pearl Tapioca fetched 30s. to 31s. per cwt.\n\n### ARTICLES OF EXPORT\n\n#### IRON\nThe quotations in London are for Welsh bars, £5 15s. to £6; nail rods, £7 10s. to £7 15s.; hoops, £8 10s. to £9; sheets, single, £9 15s. to £10; Staffordshire bars, £7 10s. to £7 15s.; rails, £4 5s.\n\n#### COPPER\nSheet and Sheathing, £79 to £83 per ton; yellow metal, 7d. to 7¼d. per lb.\n\n#### TIN\n£91 for block; £92 for common bars. Tin plates, best charcoal I.C., 30s. to 31s.\n\n#### LEAD, &c.\nEnglish pig, W.B., £21; shot, patent, £23; sheet, £20 15s.; spelter, £20 17s. 6d.; zinc, English sheet, £26 to £26 10s.; quicksilver, £6 17s. 6d.\n\nThe following is from the Circular of Messrs. French and Smith :- \nThere has been no activity in the Metal Market the past month, the increasing abundance and cheapness of money having apparently no influence. Almost all transactions reported have been for immediate consumption or shipment. Iron: Scotch and Welsh are quoted a shade easier; Staffordshire is steady, with a good demand for the East; and as some few of the railways are on the market again for Rails, a firmer tone in this branch of the trade may reasonably be expected. Copper is rather lower than at the beginning of July. The mail on 18th ult., brought advices of charters for about 1,400 tons Copper, 850 tons of which were Bars. That on the 29th ult. brought advices of about 1,800 tons Copper, of which 1,200 were Bars. Sales of Bars have been made at £67 10s. Prices now quoted are: Bars, £84 to £85; Wallaroo, £82 to £83; English Tough Cake, £75 to £76; Chili Bars, £68 to £69. Tin: A large business was done in Tin during July, principally for immediate delivery; and the quantity of Straits taken out of warehouse here is very large. The consumption in England continues great, especially for Tin-Plate manufacturers, whose works were never more fully employed. The price for fine Straits in July was between £86 10s. and £87; it is rather weak Banca is at the latter quotation to-day through some pressing sellers. steady in Holland at 53 guilders; English firm, at quotations. Tin Plates are in very good demand, and, notwithstanding the large production, prices are rather stronger. The shipments in July were 140,000 boxes, against 165,000 boxes same month in 1866. By the Board of Trade returns, the exports, January to June, were 36,690 tons, against 34,750 tons in 1866, and 30,410 in 1855. Lead is more inquired for, although there is no improvement in price. Spelter advanced in the middle of July to £21 5s., at which some small business was done, but has gone back to £20 17s. 6d. The stock on 31st July was 3,627 tons, against 6,808 tons in 1866. Quicksilver unchanged.\n\n### EXPORT OF BULLION TO CHINA, &c.\n\nThe following return shows the shipments of bullion from Southampton from the 1st January by the P. and O.

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

I have examined him and also caused his effects to be searched and have found an old cargo book marked C. with an entry in it in Spanish, the translation of which marked D leaves no doubt as to this being the boat which left the Satsuma and that these five rescued men formed part of the crew of that vessel.

        "content_text": "## EXTRAORDINARY MUTINY AT SEA.\n\n(From Sydney Morning Herald, April 17th.) The ship Trevelyan has arrived at Port Chalmers, bringing intelligence of a mutiny on board the barque Satsuma, of Sunderland, which was bound to the Cape of Good Hope. The master communicated the following statement to the captain of the Trevelyan :--\n\n\"On January 29th, 1874, latitude 31' south, longitude 24' west. I, William Leslie, master of the barque Satsuma, of Sunderland, on a passage from Cardiff to Table Bay, with a full cargo of coal, was on the morning of the above-mentioned day, about 5 o'clock, surprised in my bed while asleep by three men seizing me, one of them, the instant I raised my head, put a rope with a slip-knot over it, trying to strangle me; another held a hatchet above me; the third had a revolver pointed at me—all of them looking at me with murder in their eyes. I, with the strength which despair alone gives, sprang from my bed, closed with them, and rushed through them on my way to the fore-cabin where the mate was asleep, dragging the man after me who had the rope round my neck, but did not reach him before my skull was laid open by one or more blows from the hatchet, the blood streaming down my face and blinding me; my head reeled, and I felt I should sink on the deck. I reached the mate's berth, who in an instant sprang from his bed, and saved me from being killed. Gathering all my strength I rushed from the mate's cabin and up the companion, and astonishingly dragged the man (who still kept hold of me) with the rope round my neck on to the poop. When I got there I could get no assistance, but shortly afterwards was joined by the mate, who was soon overpowered by one of the mutineers, who was a very powerful man. At this time I managed to sever the rope; but from being half strangled, loss of blood, and suffering from the effects of the blows from the hatchet, I hardly knew what occurred. All that I can remember there seemed to be revolvers in all directions, for the shots were whizzing round us, and one of them aimed a blow at my head with a handspike, which partly hit me, knocking me down the companion. After that I did not know what took place for some time, thinking all on my side were shot or drowned. Shortly after, the mate came to me—who had got clear of them by some means. I was very weak, and sat down in the after-cabin, and was guarded from the skylight by one of the mutineers, who had a revolver in his hand. The mate was ordered from me—they at this time having full charge of the ship. The cook—one of them—was sent down to the cabin, and handed up six rifles, under cover of their revolvers. They then looked down the skylight, and asked me what boat they should take. After me telling them, they coolly asked if I was much hurt. On my saying that I was, they said they were sorry for it, but if I had kept quiet I should have been all right. They then took the second boat in size, with mast, sail, and six oars, one bag of bread, one breaker of water, wine, whisky, rum, one cheese, one ham, one log line, a bag of nails, compass, a chart from the mate, pipes, tobacco, matches, some small cordage; also, clothes belonging to other members of the crew. They then called out for the man Dunn, as they wanted to hang him before leaving. When I heard what was wanted I begged the ringleader (the steward) to spare his life. At this time one of them was in the hold calling for him to come out, and fired his revolver in the dark several times. He was stowed away under some rope, so could not be found. They then took the rammer belonging to the large gun, and spiked the gun. They took a quantity of black paint to disguise the boat, she being painted white and blue. They also cut several of the running ropes, taking saw, chisel, and life-hooks, the ringleader sitting on and looking down the skylight, with a revolver in his hand, giving his orders in the coolest manner possible. Shortly after the six left the ship, it being nearly calm, standing to the west, distance from the nearest land 900 miles.\"\n\nThe following is the second mate's statement: At 5 a.m. I was in charge of the deck; had just finished my coffee. The steward came behind me, seizing me by the shoulders, two others coming to help him. They then threw me on deck, one of them getting on the top of me, another holding a pistol to my forehead, and said if I spoke he would blow my brains out, the other two lashing my hands and legs. I asked them what they were going to do. They replied, if I kept quiet, they would not hurt me, if not they would throw me overboard. They then slung me with a rope and lowered me down the after hold, and then put the hatch on. I shortly heard the captain cry for help, and heard a rushing going on aft. Soon after one of them looked down the hatch to see if I was still lying there. I asked him where the captain was. He told me that he was dead.\n\nAfter the boat had left the ship, the mate came and set me free.\n\nJohn Dunn, an able-bodied seaman reported: \"At 5 a.m. was asleep on deck, but awoke by Beltram (one of the mutineers), and told to go into the forecastle. I went to the door, but found it was fast; was told that something was going on, and if I interfered it would be worse for me. Shortly after seeing a disturbance on the quarterdeck, and knowing they had revolvers, I hid myself in the hold. After being there some time I heard voices telling me to come out, but did not move. They fired several times, but did not hit me.\"\n\nIn connection with the above report, the schooner `Flora`, which arrived at Sydney on Thursday, the 9th instant, from London, furnishes the following:-On the 29th January, in latitude 31 S. longitude, 22-17 W., the `Flora` was boarded by a boat and crew from the barque `Satsuma`, of Sunderland, bound to Cape Town from Cardiff. The chief officer, who was in charge of the boat, stated that that morning five of the crew, armed with revolvers, had taken forcible possession of a boat, and having seized on provisions and other goods had left the ship, leaving only five of a crew all told on board the barque, and assistance in the shape of an extra hand or two was requested to work the barque into port, but Captain Wright was unable to comply. The wind was fair for the Cape, and the weather fine, at the time.\n\nCaptain Graham, of the `Cingalese`, which arrived at Melbourne on April 8th from Liverpool gives the following account of five men having been found at sea in an open boat, and picked up by the `Kate Carnie`. The `Cingalese`, on the 1st February, in 33-51 S., and 21-51 W., sighted the barque `Kate Carnie`, bound to Hong Kong, and on coming within hailing distance, Captain Wilson, of the `Kate Carnie`, asked Captain Graham if he would relieve him of three out of five men that he had shortly before picked up, as he had not sufficient water on board to last him the voyage if obliged to keep the whole of the men in his vessel. This was acceded to. Captain Wilson, of the `Kate Carnie`, then sent his chief officer on board the `Cingalese`, with the following men:--William Weston, of Manchester, aged 30; John Johnston, of Dungarvan, aged 21; Richard Newton, of Preston, aged 19. They were engaged as seamen on board the ship `Laura`, under the Costa Rica flag, bound from Valparaiso to Monte Video; when out 535 days; the crew had to abandon the `Laura`, as she was in a sinking state, and they took to the boats to save their lives. Those rescued by the `Kate Carnie` were in their boat seven or eight days before they were picked up. The other boats, two in number, were not seen by those saved by the `Kate Carnie` beyond the second night after the men left the `Laura`. An investigation will be held into the matter, when fuller particulars will probably be elicited.\n\nBy telegram from Melbourne we learn that three of the `Satsuma` mutineers were brought before the Court on the 14th. They confessed their guilt and said that the men made the mate drunk and tied him down, and then threw all the rifles and firearms overboard. Five only of the men went into the boat.\n\n## \n14.

        "content_text": "# MUTINY AT SEA.\n\n## Extract from the Daily Themes of 20th March 1874\n\n(From the Cape Argus, Feb. 24.)\n\nThe following is an extract from the official log of the barque Satsuma, which left Cardiff on the 18th December last, bound for the Cape, and arrived here on Saturday:\n\n### No. 1.\n\nAbout 6 a.m. in latitude 31-38 S., longitude 23-38 W., on the morning of the 29th January, 1874, the following mutiny occurred in the South Atlantic:- The barque Satsuma, of 366 tons register, on a voyage from Cardiff to Table Bay, Cape of Good Hope, with a full cargo of coals, was, on the morning of the 29th January, about 8 o'clock a.m., surprised while asleep, by three men, who seized the officer of the watch, lashed him, and put him down into the after-hold. The names of the mutineers are:-\n\n1. James Whyley, aged 27, native of Bedford, Yorkshire, ringleader and instigator of the mutiny.\n2. William Leslie, master (description not given).\n3. Walter Lilly, Ipswich Preston, aged 18 years.\n4. Prospero Beltram, aged ... (description not given).\n5. Robert Melican, aged 21; last ship Singwise.\n \nAbout 6 a.m., the mutiny occurred. I, William Leslie, master, was in my bed when three men seized me. One put a rope with a slip knot over my head, trying to strangle me; another had a hatchet, and the third a revolver, all with murder in their eyes. I sprang from my bed, closed with them, and rushed to the fore-cabin where the mate was. I burst through them, dragging the man after me who had the rope round my neck, but did not reach the mate before my skull was laid open by one or more blows from the hatchets. With the blood all over my face, and head reeling, I rushed through the mutineers and reached the water's edge on deck.\n\nThe mate, who was overpowered by a man, a more powerful man, was found by me, struggling with three of the mutineers, one with a revolver, one with an axe over his head, and one with a rope round the captain's neck. I managed to sever the rope that was round my neck. The mutineers had charge of the ship at this time. The steward, Dunn, was instigator of the mutiny, as he had wasted the ship's stores.\n\nThe statement of Richard Jewill, A.B., coincides with my own, with the exception of the first attack. He first saw the captain standing in front of his cabin, covered with blood, struggling with three of the mutineers.\n\nThe mutineers now looked down the skylight and asked if I was much hurt. On my saying that I was, they said they were sorry for it, that I was such a powerful man, and if I had taken it quietly, I would have been all right.\n\n### Statement of Thomas Richards, Second Mate\n\nIn the morning, while on deck, the steward came behind him and dashed him down, holding a pistol to his forehead, and threatening to blow his brains out if he spoke a word. The other man lashed him, hands and legs. He asked what they were going to do with him, and they replied, if he kept quiet his life would be spared. They then carried him off, and lowered him down into the after-hold, putting hatch on.\n\n### Details of the Mutiny and Escape\n\nThe mutineers took the second boat in size, with mast, sails, one bag of bread, breaker of water, wine, whisky, rum, one hand axe, new log, compass, all the rifles, or else a quantity of nails, tobacco, and other stores. They also took Dun's clothes and part of Simon's. They guised the boat by painting it with black and white paint, and three paint brushes. Before leaving, they spiked the big gun.\n\nThe captain then called out to Dunn, but not seeing him, fired several shots in the dark after him. The mate and one of them went down after him in the hold to try him.\n\nWILLIAM LESLIE, Master, ship Satsuma.\n\nThe cause of the mutiny is attributed to the steward, who persistently wasted the ship's stores. The mutineers were not sailors and were not fit even for ordinary seamen's duty.",

These confirm the accounts which have already appeared in the Newspapers and show that the Mutiny was of a most serious character, and that a murderous attack was made upon the Captain. Willey the Steward was the ringleader and in his presence Anderson struck the Captain on the head with a hatchet. Jones King at the time holding the rope which was round the Captain's neck. Anderson also fired at Chief Mate Jewell, and also fired three times at Dunn. I suppose William Jones AB. of Braton is the man Jackson of the Man of War. Willey and all the other Mutineers except Jones are on board the American at Melbourne and are accounted for. Jackson must be either Nelson or Jones - The importance of bringing to justice these men can hardly be overrated.\n\n### Evidence\n\nevidence well justify persons who have left a ship on the High Seas being sent to England.\n\nTomar a show witnesses are to be kept together in England.

Whitmore, on her voyage from Cardiff to Hongkong, which are a scandal to the cause of law, order, and humanity.\" May I ask if there is any one present who would like to make any remarks on the resolution before I put it to the meeting?\n\nMr. WELSH-It has not been proposed or seconded.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN-It is proposed by Mr. Dalrymple, and seconded by Mr. Pomeroy.\n\nMr. WELSH-I have never heard Mr. Dalrymple or Mr. Pomeroy speak.-(Applause).\n\nThe CHAIRMAN-It is not necessary they should speak.\n\nMr. WELSH-How can they propose and second the resolution then?\n\nThe CHAIRMAN-Their names are on the paper.\n\nThe resolution was then put to the meeting and carried nem. con.\n\nMr. ANDRE said-As a member of the foreign community of this place, I take the liberty of saying a few words. I am very glad that this meeting has been called-(applause)-and I consider that the case before us stands entirely above all nationalities. We only want to express our horror at crimes which seem to have been committed against the laws of civilized nations, and also our regret that the offenders cannot be drawn to such severe punishment as they probably deserve. There cannot be any doubt upon our minds that our Government as well as the representative of the United States did all in their power in regard to this case, and that great praise is due to them. It is a pity that circumstances prevent further steps than they took, and that the law must protect people who did not shrink from committing cruelties which, if you only read them, will give a horror to every human being. If there was a chance of justifying themselves, I think this man Peabody and his mate Snow would have happily embraced the opportunity afforded to them by their Consul in a very fair way to undergo trial in their own country. They have refused this; they still remain in this colony, although they know that the arm of justice would immediately take hold of them if it was not tied down by circumstances which we all regret. The law cannot punish them at present, but let us hope their career will not be long, and that they will be drawn to justice sooner than they expect themselves. Here, outside of the law, we can do very little, but what we can do I hope we will do-that we will give publicity to our proceedings amongst the shipping community, that it will be impossible for these men, Peabody and Snow, to be taken on any ship. I trust no honest firm in this place will ever charter the C. O. Whitmore-(applause)-as long as she is in command of this man. I think none of the Insurance Companies in this place will take any risk on her so long as she is commanded by him. Let us consider this man and his mates as outcasts. I expect no good society will ever receive them here, and I trust no steamship owners will allow their steamers to take them away from these shores. With these remarks, gentlemen, I beg to propose the second resolution:-\"That this meeting earnestly requests the respective Governments to use every effort by which these days of doubt and derangement may be shortened; and in the meantime calls upon faithful citizens to endeavour by all lawful means to prevent the escape from justice of the delinquents, Thomas Peabody, late captain, of Maine, U.S.A.; John Henry Snow, late chief mate, of Bath, Maine, U.S.A.; and Chas. Stafford, of Engleborn, Sweden, late second mate of the American barque C. O. Whitmore, and to secure that they may, if possible, be brought, either here or elsewhere, within reach of their respective authorities, to whose laws, in common with those of Britain, cruelty and inhumanity are entirely repugnant.\"-(Applause).\n\nMr. HOPPIUS seconded, and the resolution was carried unanimously.\n\nDr. DENNY said-I have been most unexpectedly entrusted to propose a resolution, and, as it is perhaps the most vital of all you have been asked to assent to, a few words of introduction may be necessary, and these few words I shall make as short as possible. It would be easy to declaim, and I might draw a harrowing picture of the misery inflicted on the man Ellwood who died. The least eloquent might easily secure your attention for a few minutes, but the eloquence of facts is superior to that of words. The published proceedings speak for themselves. It is not unnecessary, however, to lay great stress on the principle we have met here to vindicate. I understand there is a minority who do not approve of the object\n\nPage 187",

        "content_text": "3\n\n25.7 [76-II & § 1815 |\n\nof this meeting, and if that is the case it is to be deplored that no one has the manliness to come forward and say so—if they think Captain Peabody and the mates of his vessel are being unduly or too harshly dealt with. However, that is for the other side, and my business with the resolution is very much on the side of the majority. I know how imperative it is that discipline should be preserved on board a vessel, and how carefully we must guard from over humanitarianism. But speaking as one who knows what life in a merchant vessel is, I cannot hesitate to say that the feeling evinced by this meeting is justifiable. We are justified in saying that so much has been made public respecting Peabody and his officers as to demand investigation before the tribunals of their country. It must not be forgotten also that we have a score against the captain, and that the person principally charged has by his own admission shown his readiness to take advantage of the protection afforded by his own flag in a foreign port—by the way he treated the crew at Cardiff—and many will agree with the United States' Consul in what he says on that point in his pronounced decision. But it would be a pity to merge the heavy charges elsewhere advanced in that document in so comparatively trifling a breach of English law. The resolution I have to propose is to the effect that His Excellency the Governor be memorialized to request the Home Government to take that action—perfectly within its competence—which shall satisfy not only the feelings of those here present but also a sentiment which goes beyond Treaties and Acts of Parliament: We should request from our Government the rendition of these men to the United States Authorities not on the ground of international law or even of international comity—international comity induces strange things sometimes, the Blockade of Hongkong and the Chefoo Convention to wit—but of international justice, international in its broadest sense, as the justice to be done between man and man, No doubt misunderstandings sometimes arise between the United States and ourselves, when both sides claim what they think their rights; but we can safely trust the powerful and rising nation of the United States of America to cordially recognise the spirit which prompts an act of courtesy founded on a sense of justice which goes behind the narrow limits of Acts of Parliament and Congress. The American Government will see in this meeting a spirit which is independent of nationality. They will know that we do not propose that the men be given up because they are Americans on the one hand, or because a powerful nation should judge them and may eventually have the right to demand them, but simply because British subjects deplore as much as anyone else can that diplomatic obstacles are tending to produce a miscarriage of justice. The resolution I have to propose is: \"That this meeting desires hereby respectfully and emphatically to memorialize His Excellency Sir Arthur E. Kennedy, Governor of Hongkong, suggesting that he without delay communicate to the Home Government, requesting its sanction, not in accordance with any law or Treaty, but simply as an act of international justice, for the binding over to the American Naval or other authorities, either here or elsewhere, the persons mentioned in the second resolution. Further, that on account of urgency this meeting prays His Excellency to accept a copy of these proceedings, signed by the Chairman on its behalf, as a memorial from the inhabitants of Hongkong.\" Some however may say—indeed have said—that such a request as is contained in this resolution is preposterous. But fortunately we have a precedent, and a good one, from the United States under somewhat similar circumstances. In 1864, a Colonel Aguerrera, a Spaniard, was charged with having kidnapped some 120 persons, although at that time he was an agent of the Spanish Government for the suppression of slavery. The offence was committed within the jurisdiction of the United States, and the Spanish Government asked for his rendition.\n\nMr. Seward, the well-known American statesman, thus wrote:-\"Her Catholic Majesty's Minister asked that Aguerrera might be delivered up to the Government of Spain, not upon the ground of a right to demand it, but as an act of comity in the interest of justice and humanity....Something has been said as to the action of the Executive, having been in derogation of the right of asylum. ... That the practice of civilised nations, and especially of this country has maintained this privilege of asylum, and that this nation at least would consider its honour engaged to vindicate it, no one will be disposed to deny. The privilege is understood to apply to refugees\n\nIn\n\n3\n\n188",

        "content_text": "argently required that it should be undertaken at once, and special means will be required to affect it.\n\n185. The importance of the house drains and the danger incurred by neglect in their construction have been already pointed out. In England, with workmen to some extent familiar with the work, it has been found next to impossible to secure proper design and execution by leaving the work to private builders, no matter how complete are the regulations drawn up for their guidance. The necessity for complete and accurate work is not recognised, and as badly done should be taken up again. The cost also is vastly greater than if the work be carried out on a large scale by a central authority.\n\nWith respect to the defects in existing houses in paragraphs 146 and 148 Mr. Chadwick speaks as follows:\n\n149-A moment's consideration of the examples of Chinese dwellings which I have given-examples not selected for badness but fairly representative-will show that overcrowding exists to a very serious extent, both as to the number of inhabitants within a given cubic space, and to the provision of proper proportion of open space for light and ventilation, and for giving free access to the building. Other sanitary defects also are equally apparent. The type of house in Hongkong is quite identical to that in use on the neighbouring mainland, and I am certain that the lower-class population is more densely packed together in Hongkong, and worse provided with appliances for cleanliness than they are in China.\n\n118.As to the arrangement of the buildings on the ground, the construction of buildings on sites partly excavated in the side of a hill is most objectionable, for the basement or lower storey is rendered damp by the percolation of water from the hill above, and the production of malaria is the consequence.\n\nIt is well known that buildings on such sites are exceedingly unhealthy, and that the most efficient means be adopted effectively to cut off the subsoil moisture from the floor of the house. In Victoria, not only are these precautions neglected, but the condition is aggravated by the use of the retaining wall of the ground above as the back wall of the house, no space whatsoever being left. The construction of buildings without a proper space between their wall and the ground behind should be absolutely prohibited. These extracts, which could easily be multiplied, not only from Mr. Chadwick's report, but others by the Surveyor-General and Colonial Surgeon, show clearly the necessity of remedying the sanitary defects in our midst. Were it necessary I am sure your Excellency, who, I believe, made an inspection of the town two years ago with my hon. friend the Surveyor-General, could testify to the evils which call for immediate remedy in our midst.\n\nI now pass to the second point. Given these evils, what proof is there or what assurance can be given that if these laws are passed and the works carried out we will be any the better for them? I hope it will not be thought I wish for one moment to read to this Council a lecture on sanitary science. I shall be as brief as possible, but I wish to quote a few instances to show the beneficial effects which follow on all sanitary improvements and what an effectual preventive against cholera and other diseases a good sanitary condition is.\n\nIt is only about forty years since efforts began to be made in England to ameliorate the great mass of the people. Before that time, the benefits derivable from sanitary science seemed to have been forgotten or ignored until the powerful voice of cholera, typhus, and other diseases roused the people from their lethargy I trust that we, being forewarned will be forearmed and profit by the experience of others, and that we will seriously follow out that good old maxim, prevention is better than cure.\n\nMany lives have been spared and much misery saved by sanitary measures. Mr. Baldwin Latham, in his work on Sanitary Engineering, after stating the importance of sanitary measures, gives a table showing the results in twelve towns in which sanitary measures have been adopted. He then says:-\n\nIt will be seen by a glance at the above table that the sanitary works which have been carried out in the places named have had a marked effect in staying the ravages of disease and death, and they have also had the effect of prolonging the average duration of life. The good that has arisen from the provision of sanitary works wherever properly carried out, may be taken as the harbinger of more hopeful times, when the benefits of sanitary measures will be better understood, and more extensively adopted.\n\nHe then speaks of the loss of life and the national prosperity being impeded by the neglect of sanitary measures. He points out that health is the capital of the labouring man, and says it has been calculated that for every unnecessary death we have twenty-eight cases of sickness. He then says that the expenditure in Croydon has amounted to £195,000.\n\nThe average mortality of the town of Croydon for seven years, previous to the construction of sanitary works, was 23.63 per thousand, and for thirteen years since they have been in operation it has been 18.64 per thousand, showing a saving of 5.03 per thousand per annum. The mortality in the year 1843 was 28.16 per thousand, and in the year 1867, 16.6 per thousand; in 1843 the population was 19,339; in 1867 it was 50,750 showing that the population increased 100 per cent. and the death-rate reduced 40 per cent. between the extreme periods.\n\nThen those figures are worked out and he shows what the saving has been in money. You have 2,439 funerals saved at £5 each, £12,195. For cases of sickness prevented £60,975, and the value of labour saved consequent upon the prolongation of life and the absence of sickness, £186,929. The figures add up to £249,999, whereas the expenditure was only £195,000. But this money argument is a most sordid one, for who will attempt to set a money value on human life, which is priceless. And when we see in one small town 2,439 persons saved from death, it shows us the great responsibility incurred by those who have charge of sanitary matters if they neglect the warning. It is as if we took the same number of people out of their homes and put them to death. This is really what we do if we allow them to breathe poisoned air, or allow them to drink impure water when we can prevent it.\n\nI have trespassed so much on your time, that I have little time left to speak of a subject which I feel to be most important, and that is the comparative immunity from invasion of cholera and other contagious diseases which attention to sanitary matters confers. I do not know whether any of the hon. members of the Council have had the sad experience of going through a severe experience of cholera; if so I am sure they will all agree with me in saying no sacrifice is too much, and no trouble too great to take if we can keep this dread enemy from our doors.\n\nI will ask the Council to bear with me for a few moments while I read one or two extracts from some papers which were read at the annual meeting of the British Medical Association at Cardiff in 1885. There was an appalling epidemic of cholera raging at that time in Spain. In four days it had attacked 9,437 persons and it proved fatal in 3,633 cases. Cardiff itself had been attacked once or twice, and therefore there is a certain appropriateness in dealing with the subject on that occasion and in that town.\n\nDr. Pringle, Surgeon-Major, and late of the Sanitary Department of the Bengal Army, who had had some experience of great cholera epidemics in India, read the first paper. After giving his reasons for saying that cholera is imported and speaking of quarantine, he says :-\n\nI am convinced that, if attention were more paid to local sanitation, with the view of preventing the disease from obtaining a footing, and not so entirely devoted to the efforts to keep it out by sanitary cordons and quarantine, we should hear less of those melancholy tales of panic and death Local sanitation therefore, both as regards the locality and its inhabitants, is the preventive measure against cholera of any practical value.\n\nBy sanitation with reference to the locality, I mean the systematic search for, and removal of, all those conditions, either local or personal, which tend to produce, by means of the air breathed, or water or food taken, derangement of the bowels producing diarrhoea, or the specific local condition interfering with the biliary secretion, which too frequently results in dysentery.\n\nBy sanitation locally, with regard to the inhabitants, I mean the allaying of that alarm which too often ends in panic, and which is the most fertile exciting cause of liability to a choleraic seizure. This should in reality be more easily attained than the sanitation of the locality, as it is entirely due to the idea that cholera is both infectious and contagious, when, in the strict sense of the term, it is most certainly neither.\n\nBefore I proceed further, I think it most necessary to point out clearly that local sanitation will fail to produce its full and characteristic beneficial results, if delayed till the epidemic is near at hand.\n\nUnheeded warnings bring their own punishment, and Spain now suffers from the neglect of July, 1884. True, sanitation is now thought of and attempted, but too late, the pestilence is in their midst, has succeeded in securing a good footing, and has found a population ready, by the consequences of want of sanitation and pauperism, for its fatal grasp; it is thus we hear of the appalling mortality given by the correspondents of the Journal of this Association in Spain.\n\nWhen the inhabitants of a locality see measures taken to secure a high state of sanitation, their confidence is secured, and their moral courage to successfully meet the pestilence is both roused and established.\n\nThe next paper is by Dr. Paine, who was Medical Officer of Health for Cardiff and who spoke from personal experience. Speaking of the anxiety that then existed in England as cholera was raging in France, he says:-\n\nEven bold men grew grave, and asked, in anxious tones, how far we were prepared to cope with a foe which spread like a whirlwind and numbered its victims by thousands. The inquiry was not an unnatural one for those who have not had occasion to mark particularly the great strides in sanitation which the last thirty years have witnessed, and who do not know with any precision the strong bulwarks which these improvements constitute against inroads of\n\nPage 34",

        "content_text": "epidemic disease. This year again the anxiety has been renewed, and, as we meet in Cardiff, a port which, owing to its intimate shipping connection with the Spanish ports, is of course proportionately liable to the introduction of the epidemic, it may not be considered inappropriate for me instead of entering into any lengthened exposition of the etiology of zymotic diseases, to explain the practical lessons in sanitation which are, I think, to be learned from certain previous outbreaks of cholera and zymotic diseases which have come under my observation during the time I have had the privilege of advising the authorities of this town.\n\nThen he gives you a history of the three epidemics of cholera in Cardiff, and the measures which had been taken, and this is the result of his experience:—\n\nThe experience of Cardiff may, therefore, be taken to prove that by increased sanitation cholera is robbed of its chief terror. In the outbreak of 1849, there were all the unsanitary conditions of soil, drainage, polluted waters, and general circumstances which could contribute to the spread of the epidemic, and we see that then it was limited mainly to the area in which it throve with such fatal vigour. In 1854, the second outbreak came before there was improvement in the drainage or water supply, and again we find the same area to be the centre from which it spread, modified, however, by the change in the location of patients, and by the prohibition of the use of polluted water. In 1866, again it visited the town in as virulent a form as before, but was met and checked at once by the improved sanitation and water supply; while the only striking incident of the epidemic was one isolated case which demonstrated the enormous power for evil which polluted water possesses. The lessons are the same as those to be learned in other places and countries, but here they are, however, perhaps, more sharply inculcated. Foul water, running kennels, noxious cesspools, open drains, stagnant pools, and all noxious abominations which, in the former times, abounded, are the conditions under which zymotic germs live and thrive and multiply; and cholera is a powerful enemy to be dreaded. Change these conditions, give pure water, good drains, and healthy arrangements, and its power is gone.\n\nThen in the discussion which followed Mr. Dyke says-Cholera had its source in filth, if this were removed cholera ceased.\" Again, Surgeon-General Cornish, of Madras, says-\" He laid special stress upon the practical fact that both in India and in England sanitary measures, improved water supply, drainage, and better housing had enormously improved public health and diminished the liability to cholera.\" There was another paper read by Dr. Aitkin, about the Quarantine Congress then sitting in Rome, and the great faith set in quarantine. He says-\n\nMost of these smaller states have not even tried to institute any sanitary administration; and where they possess the rudiments of such a service, the health officers themselves are not educated to believe in the value of local sanitation.\n\nIt is useless to try to impress on such men that they must free their subsoil from pollution by a thorough system of drainage, must keep their water supply and the air of their city and villages uncontaminated by the products of the decomposition of organic matter, and must house their teeming populations somewhat better than their pigs, when their one notion is that typhoid fever and cholera spread exactly in the same way as scarlatina or small-pox. The views of the two schools are hopelessly divergent that many years must pass before we can expect any general concurrence in our belief that a thoroughly practical and well-considered system of hygiene, efficiently carried out, is the one method by which such diseases as typhoid fever, diphtheria, and cholera can be banished from our midst, or, when accidentally introduced, be confined within the most modest limits.\n\nThe editor of the paper says, \"There is much that is mysterious in cholera, but this one point is clear, that by the removal of these local unsanitary conditions and by the proper management of imported cases, towns and districts may be effectually defended from its epidemics.\" These, sir, are facts, and facts which should greatly encourage all those who have to deal with sanitary matters. I have no doubt you will have to meet some opposition, which all sanitary reforms at one time or another encounter. I trust I have redeemed, though at a length which I greatly regret, my promise to show the necessity of the legislation which we propose and the benefits which, judging from the experience of others, we may confidently look forward to derive from any sacrifice which the legislation may impose upon us. I now pass to the Ordinance itself. It is divided into nine parts. The first contains the definition clause, and the constitution and powers of the Sanitary Board. You will find by section 13, the Board has power to make regulations concerning no less than twenty-six different matters, the most important of which I consider are numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 14, and 15. I will not mention what these are because honourable gentlemen have the Ordinance before them. All the bye-laws made by this Board are to be submitted to the approval of the Legislative Council, and looking at the importance of the matters dealt with, I think you will all agree this is a very proper condition to make, in order that the bye-laws may receive publicity and discussion. Among the powers given to the Board are those of entry on any premises on suspicion of the existence of a nuisance; the issuing of notices requiring the abatement of any nuisance, and if the terms of the notice are not carried out, the execution by the Board itself of all necessary works.\n\nPart 2 deals solely with the measures to be taken in case the Colony is threatened with any formidable epidemic. Part 3 deals with house drains. It may be said that a great many of these details might have been dealt with in the bye-laws, but looking at the importance of the matter, the principles involved, and the fact that this is the first serious attempt to deal with this question, it is deemed advisable to incorporate them in the Ordinance, in order to afford the opportunity of full discussion thereof. By section 48 power is given to the Board whenever it has reason to believe the drains of any house are in a defective state, to enter the premises and open the drains. If they are found in satisfactory condition, the drains are to be replaced at the cost of the Board, and if not, they are to be repaired at the cost of the landlord.\n\nPart 4 relates to the windows of domestic buildings, the space underneath the floors, and the size of the windows. Part 5, which is very important, deals with buildings erected on a level site excavated out of a slope or declivity, and from the extracts I have read from Mr. Chadwick's report it will easily be seen some legislation on this point was necessary. Any person who shall erect on a site excavated out of a slope any building shall leave between his wall and the slope a clear intervening space of four feet. If the basement story of the building is intended for cellarage or purposes other than human habitation it may abut against the hill to the height of the basement story. But if the basement is intended for human habitation that is not to be permitted.\n\nPart 6 relates wholly to privies. Part 7 regulates the space to be left in front of and behind domestic buildings. Fifteen feet is to be left in front of the house, and along the entire back of the domestic building, a clear space of at least 10 feet in width is to be left. A modification is made in the case of those houses which have in accordance with section 56 left a space of four feet between the external wall and the slope of the hill side. There is a provision contained in section 71 whereby the enactments of the two preceding sections may be modified if they cannot be adhered to without undue sacrifice of property.\n\nWith respect to buildings erected on land purchased of the Crown after the passing of this Ordinance, they are obliged to leave a backyard of ten feet for one storey, fifteen feet for two storeys, and twenty-five feet for three storeys. That is a condition which can easily be imposed, because everyone purchasing the land will know beforehand the restrictions imposed on him, and will pay for the land accordingly.\n\nWe now come to a very important part of the Ordinance, dealing with overcrowding. You have seen from Mr. Chadwick's report that the place is greatly overcrowded, and you have seen, in outbreaks of cholera and other diseases, the ill effects of overcrowding, and therefore we have laid it down that every domestic building found to be inhabited in excess of a proportion of one adult to every 300 cubic feet of clear internal space shall be considered to be in an overcrowded condition and be deemed a nuisance. This matter has been carefully considered by the Sanitary Board and they have come to the conclusion that the minimum space to be allowed is 300 cubic feet for each individual. If this were put into force and carried out strictly at once, it is calculated it would turn out about 20,000 people; therefore it is not intended to carry it out all at once, but bit by bit. This section will therefore only apply to certain districts named in an order of the Governor in Council. The Government hope to be able to place a large quantity of land at the disposal of builders, and so provide for those turned out by this Bill, and so, by acting with tact and moderation, it is hoped no hardship will arise.\n\nSection 87 says that no person who shall erect a domestic building shall let the same until it has been inspected and certified as having been built in compliance with the provisions of the Ordinance, and as being in every respect fit and proper for human habitation. At the end of the Ordinance you will find some bye-laws for the proper maintenance of common lodging houses. I do not think any great principle is involved in these bye-laws.\n\nPage 60\n\nPage 35",

        "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.

(\"The Atlantic.\")\n\n### PETITION\n\n**In the Supreme Court of Hongkong, Admiralty Jurisdiction**\n\n[Title of Action.]\n\nWrit issued `18`\n\n1. Shortly before 7 p.m. on the 31st of January, 1878, the brig \"Anthes,\" of 234 tons register, of which the Plaintiff, George De Garis, was then owner, whilst on a voyage from Cardiff to Granville, in France, laden with coals, and manned with a crew of nine hands, all told, was about fifteen miles S.E. E. from the Lizard Light.\n\n2. The wind at that time was about E.N.E., a moderate breeze, the weather was fine, but slightly hazy, and the tide was about slack water, and of little force. The \"Anthes\" was sailing under all plain sail, close hauled on the port tack, heading about S.E. and proceeding through the water at the rate of about five knots per hour. Her proper regulation side sailing lights were duly placed and exhibited and burning brightly, and a good look-out was being kept on board of her.\n\n3. At that time those on board the \"Anthes\" observed the red light of a sailing vessel, which proved to be the \"Atlantic,\" at the distance of about from one mile and a half to two miles from the \"Anthes,\" and bearing about one point on her port bow. The \"Anthes\" was kept close hauled by the wind on the port tack. The \"Atlantic\" exhibited her green light and shut in her red light, and drew a little on to the starboard bow of the \"Anthes,\" and she was then seen to be approaching and causing immediate danger of collision. The helm of the \"Anthes\" was thereupon put hard down, but the \"Atlantic,\" although loudly hailed from the \"Anthes,\" ran against and with her stem and starboard bow struck the starboard quarter of the \"Anthes\" aluft the main rigging, and did her so much damage that the \"Anthes\" soon afterwards sank, and was with her cargo wholly lost, and four of her hands were drowned.\n\n4. There was no proper look-out kept on board the \"Atlantic.\"\n\n5. Those on board the \"Atlantic\" improperly neglected to take in due time proper measures for avoiding a collision with the \"Anthes.\"\n\n6. The helm of the \"Atlantic\" was ported at an improper time.\n\n7. The said collision, and the damages and losses consequent thereon, were occasioned by the negligent and improper navigation of those on board the \"Atlantic.\"\n\nThe Plaintiff claims-\n\n1. A declaration that he is entitled to the damage proceeded for.\n\n2. The condemnation of the Defendants [and their bail] in such damage and in costs.\n\n3. To have an account taken of such damage with the assistance of merchants.\n\n4.

The Plaintiff, whilst he acted as master of the \"Northumbria,\" earned his wages at the rate aforesaid; and he also, as such master, made divers disbursements on account of the \"Northumbria\"; and there was due and owing to the Plaintiff in respect of such his wages and disbursements at the time of his discharge a balance of $1,080, which sum the Defendants without sufficient cause have neglected and refused to pay to the Plaintiff.\n\nThe Plaintiff claims-\n\n1. Payment of the sum of $1,080, the balance due to the Plaintiff for his wages and disbursements, with interest thereon.\n\n2. Damages in respect of his wrongful discharge by the Defendants.\n\n3. The condemnation of the Defendants [and their bail] in the amounts claimed by or found due to the Plaintiff.\n\n4. To have an account taken [with the assistance of merchants] of the amount due to the Plaintiff in respect of his said wages and disbursements, and for damages in respect of such wrongful discharge.\n\n5. Such further and other relief as the nature of the case may require.\n\nDated the ... day of ...\n\n(Signed)  \nA.B., Plaintiff.\n\n## ANSWER\n\n1. The Defendants admit the statements made in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th articles of the Plaintiff's petition.\n\n2. Whilst the \"Northumbria\" was upon her voyage in the said 3rd article mentioned, and before and until she put into Falmouth, as in the said 4th article mentioned, the Plaintiff was frequently under the influence of drink.\n\n3. During the night of the 10th November, 1875, and the morning of the 11th November, 1875, whilst a violent gale was blowing and the ship was in danger, the Plaintiff was wholly drunk and was incapable of attending to his duty as master of the said ship; and in consequence of the condition of the Plaintiff much damage was done to the said ship, and the said ship was almost put ashore.\n\n4. The damage in the 4th article of the Petition mentioned was wholly or in part occasioned by the drunken condition of the Plaintiff during the said voyage from Cardiff to Falmouth.\n\n5. The Defendants having received information of the above facts on the arrival of the said ship at Falmouth, and having made due inquiries concerning the same, had reasonable and probable cause to and did discharge the Plaintiff from his employment as master of the said ship on the 23rd November, 1875.\n\n6. The Plaintiff, on the 12th day of November, 1875, whilst the said ship was at Falmouth, wrongfully and improperly tore out and destroyed certain entries which had been made by the mate of the said ship in her log-book.",

E. from the Lizard Light.\n\n2. The wind at that time was about E.N.E, a moderate breeze; the weather was fine, but slightly hazy, and the tide was about slack water, and of little force. The \"Anthes\" was sailing under all plain sail, close hauled on the port tack, heading about S.S.W. and proceeding through the water at the rate of about five knots per hour. Her proper regulation side sailing lights were duly placed and exhibited and burning brightly, and a good look-out was being kept on board of her.\n\n3. At that time those on board the \"Anthes\" observed the red light of a sailing vessel, which proved to be the \"Atlantic,” at the distance of about from one mile and a half to two miles from the \"Anthes,\" and bearing about one point on her port bow. The \"Anthes\" was kept close hauled by the wind on the port tack. The \"Atlantic\" exhibited her green light and shut in her red light, and drew a little on to the starboard bow of the \"Anthes,\" and she was then seen to be approaching and causing immediate danger of collision. The helm of the \"Anthes\" was thereupon put hard down, but the \"Atlantic,\" although loudly hailed from the \"Anthes,\" ran against and with her stem and starboard bow struck the starboard quarter of the \"Anthes\" abaft the main rigging, and did her so much damage that the \"Anthes\" soon afterwards sank, and was with her cargo wholly lost, and four of her hands were drowned.\n\n4.

A little before 6.30 p.m., on the 31st of January 1878, the \"Atlantic\" was about fifteen miles S.E. by S. of the Lizard. The wind was E.N.E. The weather was hazy. The \"Atlantic,\" under foresail, fore and main topsails, main topgallant sail, and jib, was heading about W.S.W., making from five to six knots an hour with her regulation lights duly exhibited and burning, and a good look-out being kept on board her.\n\n3. In these circumstances, the red lights of two vessels were observed pretty close together, about half a mile off, and from two to three points on the starboard bow. The helm of the \"Atlantic\" was put to port in order to pass on the port sides of these vessels. One, however, of the vessels, which was the \"Anthes,\" altered her course, and exhibited her green light, and caused danger of collision. The helm of the \"Atlantic\" was then ordered to be steadied, but before this order could be completed was put hard-a-port. The \"Anthes,\" with her starboard side by the main rigging, struck the stem of the \"Atlantic\" and shortly afterwards sank, her master and four of her crew being saved by the \"Atlantic.\"\n\n4. Save as is herein-before admitted, the several statements in the Petition are denied.\n\n5. The \"Anthes\" was not kept on her course as required by law.\n\n6. The helm of the \"Anthes\" was improperly starboarded. \n7. The collision was caused by one or both of the things stated in the fifth and sixth paragraphs hereof, or otherwise by the negligence of the Plaintiffs, or of those on board the \"Anthes.\"\n\n8. The collision was not caused or contributed to by the Defendants, or by any of those on board the \"Atlantic.\" And by way of Counter-claim, the Defendants say-\n\nThey have suffered great damage by reason of the collision. And they claim as follows--\n\n1. Judgment against the Plaintiff [and his bail] for the damage occasioned to the Defendants by the collision, and for the costs of this action.\n\n2.

The wind at such time was about south-west, the weather was a little hazy and occasionally slightly thick, and the \"Sarpedon\" was under steam and sail, steering north-east, and proceeding at the rate of about ten knots per hour. Her proper regulation masthead and side lights were duly exhibited and burning brightly, and a good look-out was being kept.\n\n3. At such time the masthead and red lights of a steam vessel, which proved to be the above-named vessel \"Julia David,\" were seen at the distance of about two miles from and ahead of the \"Sarpedon,\" but a little on her port bow. The helm of the \"Sarpedon\" was ported and hard-a-ported, but the \"Julia David\" opened her green light to the \"Sarpedon,\" and although the engines of the \"Sarpedon\" were immediately stopped, and her steam whistle was blown, the \"Julia David\" with her stem struck the \"Sarpedon\" on her port side, abreast of her red light, and did her so much damage that her master and crew were compelled to abandon her, and she was lost with her cargo. The \"Julia David\" went away without rendering assistance to those on board the \"Sarpedon,\" and without answering signals which were made by them for assistance.",

Very little British Cement is now imported, the Hongkong manufacture being now chiefly used all over the East, with small quantities of Belgian make.\n\nRope. The local Company's article now entirely supplies the wants of the local market, to the exclusion of other manufactures, and in addition, large quantities of the rope are shipped to all Eastern Ports, and Australia.\n\nCoal. Japan imports of Coal supply practically all the local market, both for steamer and manufacturing uses. Cardiff Coal is imported almost solely for Admiralty use.\n\nMatches. These goods are now imported entirely from Japan; few local companies also make for this market.\n\nMetals. The principal demand in this market is for Belgian Iron owing to its cheapness; only small quantities of British are imported in comparison with Belgian. America will doubtless be very soon severe competitors for this trade, the facilities they have for manufacturing allowing them to import their metals as cheaply as from Belgium.\n\nWire Nails. These goods up till two years ago were imported entirely from Germany, now the trade is almost entirely done from the United States, their nails being fully as good and cheaper than the German article.\n\nMiscellaneous Articles including Hardware of all kinds, Glass, Cutlery, Beer, Cotton Hosiery and Woollen Goods come almost entirely from Germany, although America is now starting the importation of such also.\n\n### B.

No figures are available to show their present position, but they are in a flourishing condition.\n\nA Rope Manufactory which entirely supplies the local market and does a large export business. The rope is made from the best Manila hemp.\n\nA Cement Factory with a branch for the manufacture of bricks and drain pipes. The cement of this Company has practically ousted the British manufactured article from the local market, being used for Civil and Military Works of all descriptions and by local engineers, architects and contractors, and is extensively exported to Japan, Manila, Straits Settlements, Australia and Pacific Coast Ports. The works were originally situated at Macao, but a large extension has now been made in the Colony and the output more than doubled. The price per barrel of 375 lbs. nett weight is from $4.00 to $4.50 (Silver). Bricks and pipes are largely used in the Colony and exported.\n\nA Cotton Mill which so far, however, has hardly realised expectations.\n\nEngineering and shipbuilding firms to the number of 8, which between them constructed 116 vessels of various descriptions (principally steam vessels) of an aggregate tonnage of 5,965 tons.",

Sworn.\n\nBy the COURT.\n\n*B. continued.*\n\nI arrived in Hongkong on the 20th inst., and my Agents, Messrs. Dodwell & Co., gave me a letter from my Owners instructing me to proceed to Sasebo, in Japan. I communicated that intelligence to the crew, and one and all of them refused to proceed to Sasebo. The reason they assigned for their refusal was that the ship is carrying contraband of war.\n\nI am carrying coal shipped at Cardiff for Japan. I then communicated the circumstance to your Honour as Harbour Master. You saw the men and tried to convince them that they had no ground for legitimate refusal.\n\n| Name | Rank |\n| --- | --- |\n| P.J. Collins | A.B. |\n| T. Forster | fireman |\n\n**The Court Summing up.**\n\nThe voyage includes Japanese ports.\n\nI am not sure who will refund to me my loss if I am killed.\n\nI refuse to proceed to Japan.\n\nAddressing each of the crew, an opportunity was given for them to change their determination, but none did so.\n\nI have individually and collectively explained to you men, when you interviewed me yesterday, the false conclusions you had arrived at regarding your position. You deliberately signed Articles to proceed to countries in which Japan is included at a time when you knew that country to be at war. It has transpired since your arrival in Hongkong that your cargo, which consists of coal, is to be carried to Sasebo. The danger involved due to this service has received due consideration. But as I have endeavoured to show you, there is nothing in the voyage at the present time that can be regarded as being outside the ordinary risks of a seafaring life.\n\nThat being so, you are wilfully and wrongfully ignoring the terms of your agreement.\n\nI see a couple of lads (apprentices) among your number who can have no voice in the matter. You have been badly advised, and I decline to deal with them, and they will be put on board their vessel again.\n\nIf the Master consents to withdraw the charge against any one of you who chooses to return to his duty, you have this final opportunity of so doing.\n\n**SENTENCED**\n\nOne man, H. Jones, A.B., stepped out, and the charge being withdrawn against him, he returned to the ship. The remainder persisted in their refusal.\n\nThe rest were sentenced to 10 weeks imprisonment, and to be reshipped on board the \"Franklyn\" should she return to Hongkong before the expiration of the sentence.\n\n(signed) D. Barnes-Dewrance, **Marine Magistrate**\n\n**CERTIFIED TRUE COPY. (in two sheets)**\n\nMarine Magistrate",

The bulk of the Russian fleet on the station was assembled at Vladivostock when I was there. In the harbour were six battle-ships, four first-class cruisers, one other cruiser, and several torpedo-boats. Much satisfaction was expressed at its having been found possible to dock six battle-ships in two and a-half weeks. The amount of coal in stock was estimated at about 10,000 tons. An English steamer unloaded 3,000 tons of patent fuel from Cardiff during my visit. The new mine, some 50 versts from Vladivostock, is to be tried again, as nearly smokeless coal can be got from it. I was informed that the Sakhalien coal was of good quality, but that it was difficult to get it shipped owing to the want of good anchorages, the freight consequently being very high.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nCYPRIAN A.

With reference to your telegram `No. 243` of the 27th October, you may act with French colleague on the understanding that such action does not pledge His Majesty's Government to accept any treatment less favourable than other Powers may receive.\n\nIt has been pointed out to us by the Treasury that the proposal seems to be inconsistent with tenor of bonds which are to be signed by the Chinese Representatives, since, while China pays in gold the full amount of the capital debt, she will be released from paying interest on amounts which may, owing to the depreciation of the tael, fall into arrear.\n\nHow, in your opinion, should this difficulty be met?\n\n21\n\n## No. 31.\n\nThe Marquess of Lansdowne to Mr. Spring-Rice.\n\n**(No. 307.) Sir,**\n\nForeign Office, November 7, 1903.\n\nTHE Russian Ambassador, whom I had not seen since the 12th August, called on me this morning.\n\nHe told me that during his absence from this country he had had conversations with Count Lamsdorff as to Anglo-Russian relations at St. Petersburgh, earlier in the autumn, and again within the last few days at Paris. On the first occasion he had found Count Lamsdorff well disposed towards this country, and on the second his language was of an even more friendly character. Count Lamsdorff had instructed his Excellency to express his appreciation of our considerate and straightforward policy, particularly in so far as Macedonian affairs were concerned, and he admitted that although we had maintained our right to be critical our criticism had been neither unfair nor unfriendly. Count Lamsdorff felt strongly that it was of importance that an endeavour should be made to remove all sources of misunderstanding between the two Governments, and that there should be \"a change for the better\" in our relations. Count Benckendorff was therefore instructed to discuss frankly with me the various questions outstanding between Great Britain and Russia, with the object of arriving at an agreement as to the manner in which they should be dealt with. \"In the meantime, the Russian Government would be careful to avoid any action bearing the appearance of hostility to this country. Count Benckendorff had been told that he was to go back to St. Petersburgh early in the new year for the purpose of reporting the result of his discussions with His Majesty's Government.\n\nI expressed the pleasure which it gave me to learn Count Lamsdorff's views, and my readiness to contribute, so far as I was able, to such an understanding as has been suggested.\n\nI was the more pleased at the prospect which was thus opened for us, because I had been seriously concerned at the position into which the two Powers were apparently drifting. I should be wanting in frankness if I did not tell his Excellency that the attitude of the Russian Government in regard to the question of our relations with Afghanistan had created a most unpleasant impression in our minds.\n\nI pointed out to his Excellency that the Russian demand, which had originally been merely that Afghan and Russian officials should be allowed to communicate with one another in regard to purely local questions of a non-political character, had undergone a remarkable development, the latest Russian demand being apparently for a right of direct intercourse with Afghanistan upon questions of all kinds, whether political or not, and for the right to send Russian Agents into Afghanistan.\n\nCount Benckendorff here interrupted me by observing that the demand to send Agents into Afghanistan had been dropped, and that the proposal, thus limited, might form the subject of discussion between the two Governments. I said that I was glad to hear that the proposal to send Agents had been given up, but I reminded his Excellency that the last communication (that dated 6th October) which we had received from the Russian Government had closed the discussion in almost peremptory terms, so much so that I should have considered it inconsistent with my duty to reopen it. The action of the Russian Government, in refusing to allow a Russian officer to meet the British officer deputed to re-ereet the boundary pillars on the Afghan frontier, seemed to me entirely inconsistent with the alleged desire to maintain amicable relations with this country. The pillars had originally been set up by British and Russian officers acting together, and it was surely natural that their restoration should be effected in a similar manner. I could not understand how the Russian Government should have declined a friendly overture made in the circumstances which I had described.\n\nCount Benckendorff replied that the case was not one in which a new boundary was to be demarcated. All that was necessary was that certain posts which had fallen down should be set up again, and for this purpose it had not seemed necessary to resort to combined action.\n\nI said that I was unconvinced by this argument, and that the incident would certainly produce a very bad effect on public opinion in this country. Count Benckendorff made no real attempt to defend the Russian note, and said something to the effect that Count Lamsdorff was away at the time when it was written, and that some official of the Russian Foreign Office was the author of it.\n\nThe conversation then turned to the Far East.\n\n[1638]",

There have been increased shipments from Hongay: but from Australia and India large decreases appear: while no Labuan coal was imported during the year.\n\nI remarked last year upon the fact that, in spite of the large increase in coal imported, the shipments of bunker coal in the Colony had fallen off considerably. This year, the opposite occurred. There is a falling off in imports, but an increase of 22,140 tons, or 35 per cent. in the quantity of bunker coal shipped. But, of the total amount of coal imported, little more than half is shipped as bunker coal, the remainder being re-exported.\n\nKerosene Oil—Here, enormous increases are reported: in Bulk Oil of 20,559 tons or 57 per cent., and in Case Oil of 13,989 tons or 386 per cent., while Liquid Fuel has increased by 5,089 tons or 1172 per cent. These increases appear to be due to competition between the Asiatic Petroleum Company and the Standard Oil Company, whose business is largely increasing in the interior of China in consequence of their activity in opening up new distributing centres.\n\nAs last year, I add a few remarks about certain other items of import of which I have been able to collect information.\n\nOpium. The imports of Raw Opium show a decrease of 3,990 chests, or 11.1 per cent., while 1909 showed a decrease of 6,087 chests or 14.5 per cent. The exports declined by 7,641 chests, or 21.2 per cent, in 1909 the decrease was 3,620 chests, or 9.7 per cent. During the last three years the raw opium trade of the Colony is described by the following figures:-\n\n|  | 1910 Chests | 1909 Chests | 1908 Chests |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Stock in hand, 1st January | 5,808 | 4,707 | 4,509 |\n| Imported during the year | 35,731 | 41,821 | 31,743 |\n| Total | 41,512 | 40,528 | 36,252 |\n| Boiled by Opium Farmer | 782 | 1,044 | 864 |\n| Spurious Opium destroyed | 14 | 51 |  |\n| Exported during the year | 28,383 | 35,938 | 30,000 |\n| Total | 29,120 | 37,033 | 30,864 |\n| Stock remaining on 31st Dec. | 7,123 | 4,500 | 5,808 |\n\n## TRADE\n\nAs pointed out in previous reports, the figures which used to appear under this heading were, as a whole, so inaccurate as to be in some cases, most misleading. They have therefore been omitted from this, as from my three previous annual reports. However, in certain items of the import trade, fairly accurate details are available, and, as to these, the following remarks may be of interest.\n\nCoal.—1,115,120 tons were imported during the year. This quantity, compared with the imports for 1909, shows a decrease of 11,716 tons, or 1.04 per cent. This decrease is so small as to be negligible, but is explained by the dull tone of the market in the Colony throughout the year 1910, and the necessity of adjusting stocks after the somewhat largely increased imports of 1909. Of the various varieties of coal imported, Japanese heads the list. Next comes that from North China and Manchuria, which holds its own.\n\nOf the several varieties of opium imported, Malwa decreased by 315 chests, or 6 per cent., Patna by 3,241 chests, or 16.6 per cent., Benares by 1,885 chests, or 22.5 per cent., and Persian increased by 249 chests. Of Chinese opium 1,222 chests were imported from Shanghai and re-exported to Haiphong.",

        "content_text": "explained by the fact that four steamers which called at this Port in 1911 did not call in 1910. The decrease under the German flag is chiefly accounted for by the falling off in trade from Bangkok; while the decrease under the Chinese flag is due to the loss of the Meifon and to the stoppage of two steamers which previously traded to this Port.\n\nForeign river-steamers have increased by 89 ships (or 66%) of 20,411 tons (or 41%). This is mainly accounted for by the new steamers Shing Ping and Licorne contributing 12 trips, and to an increase in trips of vessels under the Portuguese flag.\n\nAs in former years, a comparison is inserted between the shipping of the port twenty years ago, and to-day. In 1891, 2,856 British ships of 3,593,223 net register tons entered the port, against 10,778 ships of 11,706,731 net register tons in 1911: an increase of 277.3% in numbers and of 223% in tonnage. These figures include ocean and river-steamers and ocean-going sailing ships (not junks). Similarly, foreign shipping, during the same period, has increased from 1,405 ships of 1,545,404 net register tons in 1891, to 5,603 ships of 8,653,697 net register tons; an increase of 270.7% in numbers and of 459.9% in tonnage.\n\nThe actual number of individual ocean vessels of European type of construction entering during 1911 was 720, being 348 British and 372 foreign. The corresponding figures for 1910 were 734, 345 and 360 respectively.\n\nThese 720 ships aggregated 1,796,198 tons. They entered 4,040 times, giving a collective tonnage of 7,756,033 tons. This, as shown in the following table, in 1911 as compared with 1910, 14 less ships with 2 tonnage decreased by 8,177 tons, entered 235 less times, and gave a collective tonnage less by 356,952 tons.\n\nFlag\nNo of Times Entered\nSteamers\nTotal Tonnage\n\nBritish Steamers\n360\n714\n4,041,557\n\nGerman\n113\n111\n507,171\n\nJapanese Steamer\n101\n106\n...\n\nSailing\n1\n...\n...\n\nNorwegian\n31\n36\n93,310\n\nAustrian\n6\n21\n21,039\n\nChinese\n230\n314,879\n241,628\n\nDanish\n3\n20\n35,165\n\nDutch\n16\n108\n214,737\n\nFrench\n...\n...\n...\n\nItalian\n...\n...\n...\n\nPortuguese\n...\n...\n...\n\nRussian\n...\n...\n...\n\nSwedish\n...\n...\n...\n\nS.A.

However, in the few items of import trade of which substantially accurate details can be given, the following remarks may be of interest:-\n\nCoal - 1,046,290 tons were imported during the year. This quantity, compared with the imports for 1910, shows a decrease of 68,830 tons or 6.6%. This decrease may be ascribed to greater quantities of coal (principally Japanese, North China and Hongay) passing through Hongkong direct to Canton than heretofore, also to the falling off in ocean tonnage.\n\nOf the many varieties of coal imported, Japanese heads the list. Next come North China and Hongay. The importation from Pulo Laut is increasing.\n\nThere was only one cargo of Cardiff coal commercially imported. No Australian coal was discharged throughout the year.\n\nKerosene Oil shows a big increase in bulk oil of 62,367 tons or 11% and in case oil an increase of 4,112 tons or 8%, while liquid fuel has increased by 7,759 tons or 82.3%. The huge increase in bulk oil can be attributed to a great extent to the cutting of rates between the Standard Oil and Asiatic Petroleum Companies, also to the fact that stocks were left short in 1910, and that much oil hitherto shipped direct to coast ports was last year trans-shipped in Hongkong, because the revolution in China caused a restriction of sales in the interior. The increase in liquid fuel tends to show that this class of fuel is now becoming popular in steamers which hitherto exclusively consumed coal.\n\nOpium. The imports of raw opium show a decrease of 10,457 chests or 32.9% as compared with a decrease of 11.1% in 1910 and 14.5% in 1909. The exports show a decrease of 8,272 chests or 29.2% as compared with a decrease of 21.2% in 1910 and 9.7% in 1909. During the last four years the raw opium trade of the Colony is described by the following figures:\n\n1908\n1909\n1910\n1911\n\nStock in hand, 1st Jan.\n7,123\n7,587\n7,123\n4,509\n\nImported during the year\n31,743\n35,734\n41,821\n21,286\n\nTotal\n...\n...\n...\n...\n\nBoiled by Opium Farmer\n28,409\n36,252\n41,542\n...\n\nSpurious Opium destroyed\n761\n782\n1,044\n864\n\nExported during the year\n29,478\n32,842\n28,883\n20,081\n\nTotal\n...\n...\n...\n...\n\nStock remaining on 31st Dec.\n7,587\n7,123\n4,509\n5,808\n\nPage 363\n\n...\n\nPage 363",

        "content_text": "# PORTS AND HARBOURS OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE: NOTES\n\n## UNITED KINGDOM.\n\n### (a) Glasgow \nIt is necessary to explain that the Clyde Navigation comprises the 18 miles in length of the River Clyde between the town of Port Glasgow at the seaward end up to the City of Glasgow.\n\nOf this length, the upper four miles form the harbour of Glasgow, comprising riverside quays, and docks or basins, named Kingston Dock, Queen's Dock, and Prince's Dock.\n\nFurther down the river, there is another dock called Rothesay Dock, constructed for the import and export of minerals, and although 4 miles further down the river from the harbour proper, it is included as part thereof.\n\nThe Trustees of the Clyde Navigation are the parliamentary authority for the River Clyde and the Harbour of Glasgow.\n\nThey were incorporated by the Clyde Navigation Consolidation Act, 1858, with powers, as conservators, to widen, deepen, and straighten the river, and to provide docks and quays and all the facilities of a port and work under this and amending Acts, of which the most recent is `1 & 2 Geo. V. Chap. 51`.\n\nThe Trustees, under the Clyde Navigation (Constitution) Act, 1905, are 42 in number—12 being the nominees of the Corporation of Glasgow, 3 being chosen by the County Council of Lanark (in which county the greater part of the harbour is situate), 1 by the County Council of Dumbarton, 1 each by three of the small towns on the river, and 6 by the Chamber of Commerce, Merchants' House, and Trades' House. The remaining 18 are elected by the dues-payers.\n\nThe Trustees are empowered to borrow money within limits defined by the Acts, on the security of their undertaking and of the rates and tolls leviable by them. They are required to set aside annually, as a sinking fund, after paying the ordinary expenditure and interest on money borrowed, a sum equivalent to the average annual surplus revenue of the 10 preceding years.\n\nThe portion of the channel seaward of the point where the Clyde Trustees' territory commences extends past Port Glasgow and Greenock, a length of about 4 miles, and this section is under the care of a separate body called the Clyde Lighthouses Trustees, who work under the Clyde Lighthouses Act, 1871 (`34 & 35 Vict. Chap. 132`) and subsequent Acts, of which the latest is `2 & 3 Geo. V. Chap. 25`.\n\n### (b) Liverpool \nThe Liverpool Dock Estate to-day has a frontage of 6.5 miles, with a water area of 430 acres, and a lineal quayage of 26.1 miles. There are 57 wet docks and basins and 19 dry docks.\n\nThe Birkenhead Dock Estate (i.e., on the opposite side of the River Mersey) has a shorter frontage of only 1.1 miles, but has a water area of 172 acres, and a lineal quayage of nearly 10 miles. There are six wet docks of the ordinary type, and two large sheets of impounded water (east and west Float) flanked with quays and equipped as docks throughout. There are three dry docks belonging to the Board at Birkenhead, and also several others belonging to private companies.\n\nThe total area (land and water) of the dock estate on both sides of the River Mersey (Liverpool and Birkenhead), controlled by the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board, may be taken at about 2,400 acres.\n\nThe Mersey Docks and Harbour Board, which controls and manages the docks and maintains the river and sea channels, is a public Trust and was constituted by Act of Parliament in 1857 (`20 & 21 Vict. Chap. 162`). It works under this and subsequent Acts, of which the most recent is `2 & 3 Geo. V. Chap. 12`. The Board consists of 28 members, 24 of whom are elected by the dock ratepayers, and 4 appointed by the Conservancy Commissioners of the River Mersey (namely, the First Lord of the Admiralty, the President of the Board of Trade, and the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster).\n\nThe Board is empowered to borrow, on the security of the undertaking, within limits laid down by the Acts. It is required to set aside by way of sinking fund £100,000 in each year or such less sum as the surplus amounts to for the year.\n\n### (c) London \nThe total area of land and water comprising the various dock systems of the Port of London, including sites for extensions, is 2,801 acres. The water area of the docks amounts to 643 acres, and the length of quays to 26.1 miles.\n\nThe Port of London Authority was established in 1909, under the authority of the Port of London Act, 1908, `8 Edw. VII. Chap. 68`, to control the Port of London as regards the following matters, viz.:—\n\n1. The management of the docks.\n2. The administration of the River Thames, including maintenance and improvement of the channels from Teddington to Warden Point, a distance of about 70 miles.\n3. The registration of river craft and the licensing of lightermen and watermen.\n\nThe Authority also owns the dock undertakings in the port except the small terminal docks of the railway and canal companies.\n\nThe Authority consists of 29 members: 10 appointed by the Admiralty (1), the Board of Trade (2), the London County Council (4), the Corporation of the City of London (2), and Trinity House (1); 18 elected (17 by payers of dues, wharfingers and owners of river craft, and 1 by wharfingers) and a chairman elected by the Authority. The revenue of the Authority is derived mainly from charges and dues on vessels and on goods, and from rents of properties. Its estimates for each year are submitted to the Board of Trade, which, if not satisfied as to the sufficiency of the revenue to meet the charges, may order additional dues or increase of dues.\n\nThe Port of London Authority is empowered to borrow money on the security of the undertaking, and to create stock called \"Port of London Stock.\" Its borrowing is in such manner as the Board of Trade directs, but no loans for improvements may have a currency of more than 90 years.\n\n### (e) Southampton \nThe main docks (which for the most part are not enclosed) are the property of the London and South Western Railway Company. The entrance and approach channel and also the town quays are under the control of the Southampton Harbour Board, working under the Southampton Harbour Acts, 1863 to 1913, and appointed under the most recent of these Acts, `3 & 4 Geo. V. Chap. 82`. The Board consists of 26 members, 16 appointed and 10 elected. The appointing bodies are:—Admiralty, War Office, and Board of Trade (1 each), Trinity House (1), Local Authorities (9), London and South Western Railway Company (3). The electing bodies are—Southampton Chamber of Commerce (2), owners of foreign-going vessels (4), owners of coasting vessels (2), traders (1), waterside frontagers (1).\n\nMoney may be borrowed on the security of the undertaking within limits laid down by the Acts. The Trustees are required to set aside by way of sinking fund a sufficient sum to redeem the amounts borrowed within 60 years.\n\n## UNITED KINGDOM II.\n\n- Belfast\n- Bristol (Avonmouth)\n- Cardiff\n- Manchester\n- Newport\n- Swansea\n\n(For Notes, see p. 20.)\n\nPage 569\nPage 11",

What was the gross revenue for the last completed financial year?\n\nThe gross revenue for the year ended 1913 was 580,064l.\n\n11. (1) Can the depth of water (a) at the entrance and the approach channel; (b) in the case of enclosed docks, at the entrance lock, if any, of any important dock or docks; (c) at the principal berths be deepened to 40 feet at L.W.O.B.T. (in the case of the berths at enclosed docks, H.W.O.N.T.), and can accommodation be provided for vessels 1,000 feet in length, and of 100 feet beam? If not, to what extent can deepening be effected, and for vessels of what dimensions (length, draught, and beam at that draught) can accommodation be provided?\n\n(2) In what period? (3) At what approximate cost (a) for the entrance and approach channel? (b) in the case of enclosed docks for the entrance lock, if any, of such important dock or docks? (c) for the principal berths?\n\nThe channel can be deepened to any extent required, and new berths can be provided for vessels up to any size. The cost of deepening the channel to 40 ft. (L.W.O.S.T.) and of providing one berth for a vessel of the dimensions suggested is estimated at 500,000l, and the time required would be about three years.\n\nThe dimensions of the entrance lock (for which see answer to question 6) limit the length and beam of vessels which can be accommodated, and vessels 1,000 ft. in length could not be provided for without reconstruction. The depth of water at the berths could be readily increased to 38 ft. if it should ever become necessary, but no estimate of cost or time has yet been taken out.\n\nThe dimensions of the entrance lock (for which see answer to question 6) limit the length and beam of vessels which can be accommodated. Vessels 1,000 ft. in length and of 100 ft. beam could not be provided for without reconstruction. 40 ft. of water can be obtained in the entrance lock at certain conditions at spring tides.\n\nIt is proposed to dredge the entrance channel to the level of the outer sill of the new entrance lock to the Alexandra Docks (it is at present 5 ft. 3 ins. above it).\n\nThe dimensions of the new entrance lock are, as already stated, 1,000 ft. in length and 100 ft. in breadth and the depth of water over the inner sill is 38 ft. (H.W.O.S.T.), so that vessels of 37 ft. draught can be taken under certain conditions.\n\nIt is proposed ultimately to give a depth of water of 38 ft. (not tidal) in the South Dock extension.\n\nTo provide for ships of a greater draught than 37 ft. would involve pumping or reconstruction.\n\nThe dimensions of the entrance lock (for which see answer to question 6) limit the length, beam and draught of vessels which can be accommodated. Vessels 1,000 ft. in length and of 100 ft. beam could not be provided for without reconstruction, which would entail large expenditure.\n\n12. What extra charges for the maintenance (a) of the entrance and approach channel, (b) in the case of enclosed docks, of the entrance lock, if any, to such important dock or docks, (c) of the principal berths would be involved as a result of these improvements? (Where detailed estimates have not already been prepared only approximate figures are desired.)\n\nProbably there would be considerable increase of maintenance charges if the channel were deepened to 40 ft. (L.W.O.S.T.), but no exact estimate has been made.\n\nMaintenance charges would not be increased to any considerable extent by deepening one of the berths to 40 ft. (L.W.O.S.T.).\n\nSee answer to question 11.\n\n`A 13220-App 856 ke` \nPage 164 \nPage 17",

        "content_text": "# PORTS AND HARBOURS OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE: UNITED KINGDOM.\n\n## NOTES.\n\n### Belfast.\nThe harbour consists partly of quays and basins, and partly of docks, both tidal and enclosed. The harbour is under the control of the Belfast Harbour Commissioners, appointed under the Belfast Harbour Act, 1847, and subsequent Acts, of which the most recent is the Belfast Harbour Act, 1901.\n\nOf the Commissioners, 21, of whom one-third retire annually, are elected by Belfast shipowners who are also ratepayers. Two, of whom one is the Mayor of Belfast, are ex-officio members. The Commissioners are empowered to borrow, upon the security of the undertaking, by means of the issue of Consolidated Stock within limits laid down by the Acts. Any money borrowed has to be repaid within 60 years from the date of borrowing, by means of a sinking fund.\n\n### Bristol.\nThe docks at the Port of Bristol are the property of the Corporation of Bristol. They comprise the old City docks, 7 miles from the mouth of the River Avon, the Portishead Dock, on the Somerset side of the river, and the Avonmouth and Royal Edward Docks, on the Gloucester side of the river. The two former deal with the small Continental and coastwise trade, whilst the Avonmouth and Royal Edward Docks deal with the overseas trade. The docks are managed by the Docks Committee of the Corporation (the members of which are elected by the City Council of Bristol), under the Bristol Dock Acts, 1848, and subsequent Acts, of which the most recent is 1 & 2 Geo. V. Chap. 44, and are in charge of a General Traffic Manager.\n\nMoney is borrowed on the security, partly of the dock revenue and partly of the Borough Fund and Borough Rate of the City of Bristol. The Acts lay down the various amounts which may be obtained upon loan and require the consent of the Board of Trade before money is borrowed for the general purposes of the docks. Provision is made for repayment of the amounts borrowed within specified periods.\n\n### Cardiff.\nThe Bute Docks at Cardiff are the property of the Cardiff Railway Company, created under the Bute Docks and Cardiff Railway Acts, of which the latest is 2 & 3 Geo. V. Chap. 39. They include, in addition to the Queen Alexandra Dock, to which reference is made in the preceding pages, the Roath Dock and Basin, and the East and West Bute Docks.\n\n### Manchester.\nThe Manchester Ship Canal and the docks at Manchester are controlled by the Manchester Ship Canal Company, which was incorporated in 1885 and works under the Manchester Ship Canal Act of that year and subsequent Acts, of which the most recent is 3 & 4 Geo. V. Chap. 59.\n\nA large proportion of the capital was provided by the Corporation of the City of Manchester, and at present 11 out of the 21 Directors of the Company are appointed by the Corporation.\n\nThe canal is 35 miles in length.\n\n### Newport.\nThe harbour of Newport is controlled by the Harbour Commissioners appointed under Act 8 Will. IV, s. 66 and subsequent Acts, of which the most recent is 6 Edw. VII. Chap. 62.\n\nThe Trustees now number 47 in all. Five are nominated by local Lords of Manors; 1 by the Tredegar Wharf Company, 2 by the Great Western Railway Company, 2 by the Alexandra Docks and Railway Company, 1 by the Newport Chamber of Commerce, 12 by the Corporation of Newport. The Mayor of the Borough is also a member. The remaining 23 are elected, 10 by the registered shipowners of Newport, 5 by persons connected with the iron and kindred industries, and 8 by persons connected with the coal and kindred industries.\n\nThe Trustees are empowered to borrow on the security of their rates, tolls, &c., within limits laid down by the Acts, but any sums borrowed must be repaid within 50 years or less from the time of borrowing, by means of an adequate sinking fund.\n\nThe Corporation of Newport is empowered to charge the Borough Rates as collateral security for amounts borrowed by the Trustees.\n\nThe Alexandra Docks are the property of the Alexandra (Newport and South Wales) Docks and Railway Company. The docks at Newport include the Town Dock, also owned by the Company.\n\n### Swansea.\nThe Port of Swansea consists, in addition to the King's Dock, to which reference is made in the preceding pages, of the Prince of Wales Dock, the North Dock, and the South Dock.\n\nThe port is controlled by Trustees appointed under the Swansea Harbour Act, 1854, and subsequent Acts, of which the most recent is 3 & 4 Geo. V. Chap. 6.\n\nThe Trustees number 26 in all. Of these 4 represent the Gower Estate; 1 is the Earl of Jersey for the time being, and 9 are appointed by the Swansea Borough Council and known as Corporation Trustees; the remaining 12, known as Proprietary Trustees, must be connected with the business interests of the Port of Swansea, and are elected for six years (4 retiring in rotation every two years) by persons interested, according to qualifications set out in the Acts, in collieries, manufactories, &c., in the neighbourhood, payers of harbour dues, local shipowners, and shareholders in local shipping companies.\n\nThe Trustees are empowered to borrow, within limits laid down by the Acts, upon the security of the undertaking. A sufficient sum has to be set aside by way of sinking fund to enable all money borrowed to be repaid within 60 years from the date of borrowing.\n\n## UNITED KINGDOM.\n\n### Humber (Hull and Immingham).\n### Leith.\n### Tees (Middlesbrough).\n### Tyne (Newcastle, North Shields, South Shields).\n\n(For Notes, see p. 30.)\n\nPage 550\nPage 574",

Wm. Mathwin and Son, Cardiff, for instructions at Port of Loading, and to the Senior Naval Officer or Officer appointed for coaling duties at the places of discharge.\n\n### SPECIAL CLAUSES.-OILERS.\n\n**(Not applicable to Colliers.)**\n\n## 43. \nThe Owners guarantee that the tanks are oil tight at the commencement of the Charter, and bind themselves to take every possible precaution to maintain them in this condition during the continuance of the Charter, but are not responsible for leakage.\n\n## 44. \nTo facilitate the discharge of oil fuel to H.M. Ships, Owners undertake to provide a Y piece to Admiralty pattern for each discharge up to the maximum number which can be used simultaneously.\n\nWitness to the signature of the **Owners or Brokers**.\n\nWitness to the signature of the **Director of Transports**.\n\n**OWNERS OR BROKERS**.\n\n**DIRECTOR OF TRANSPORTS**.\n\n\n## \n0. In connection with charges incurred in running the vessel, questions will doubtless arise for discussion and settlement. Meantime it is sufficient to lay it down as a general principle that you are authorised to incur expenditure which, as a prudent owner, it has been your practice to incur in the past.\n\n## 10. \nThe Government shall have the advantage of all existing coal or other contracts, but, where the owner or company supplies goods from its own stock or renders services with its own plant, such shall be charged for at the then current market rates.\n\n## 11. \nThe Government will accept all war risks (vide clause 19 of Charter Party `T. 99`) but, where it has been your practice to incur this expense in the past, you are authorised, for the present, to continue the expenditure on Government account, whether in the form of premium or call in respect of Policies on hull and machinery, including the continuance of any excess value insurance hitherto maintained by you, on the understanding that you will hold the Government absolved from liability in respect of the amount for which insurance was effected under insurance policies; but when any policy on a vessel lapses it should not be renewed.\n\n## 12. \nIf the war risk insurance above authorised is vitiated by your obedience to Admiralty instructions, other than those of local navigation, or by your obedience to instructions of the Control Committee, the Government will indemnify you against the consequences.\n\n## 13. \nMarine insurance is an owner's liability except that any extra premium, incurred through a ship being ordered by the Committee outside the limits of her policy, will be paid by the Government, and should be included in the voyage accounts concerned. Prior to incurring such additional expenses the Secretary should be notified.\n\n## 14. \nFinally the general intention is that, subject always to the instructions of the Shipping Control Committee, you should run your vessel as for yourselves, though on account of the Government, who confidently look to you to conduct the business with as much zeal and care as if your own interests were still involved. Full directions with regard to the financial arrangements will be communicated later, and in the meantime your vessels should be kept running as before.\n\n## 15. \nIt must be understood that the only compulsory part of the above scheme is the requisitioning of the ships, and that the other parts of the scheme are proposed for your acceptance as the most convenient arrangement in the interests of all concerned. The ships will be requisitioned in any event.\n\n## 16. \nWith a view of arriving at a complete understanding regarding this scheme and to elucidate any doubtful points, it is suggested that the Chinese Owners appoint two and the European Owners appoint one representative to meet the Shipping Control Committee in the Sanitary Board room, Post Office building, at 11 a.m. on Thursday, the 28th March.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nGentlemen,\n\nYour obedient servant,\n\n**Colonial Secretary**.\n\n382",

There is only one European who earns a precarious living, and not enough work for another one. The most of the so-called Pilots are Chinese who charge the ridiculous sum of five dollars, but all they do is to show the Captain where to go. These men have 'references' which are, at the best, doubtful. An important Naval port like that ought to have Government Pilots on a fixed salary and pension. Japanese and other ships come in and go out as they please. This should not be allowed in Japan.\n\nSurely...\n\nSuppose we had trouble with Japan, which is not at all unlikely, they would get to know everything from the Chinese.\n\nThey have been known to say that they could take Hong Kong any time they liked, which is quite likely. A short time ago I wrote to Commander Brockrath, the Harbourmaster, asking him if a British Pilot was required, and if so, would he consider my application. I received a reply that there was no intention of employing any British Pilot at present. There would be no lack...",

She served in Salonica and Egypt and in 1917 she returned to the First London General Hospital. I have seen much of her work since that time and it has always been of a very high character.

M. Thomas has consulted me privately on the matter. If the British Government were prepared to welcome his raising the matter in any way, he would be ready of course to do so, but otherwise he would not consider that he ought to do so on the demand of a private individual. I think I have seen in recent numbers of Hansard that the Colonial Office has instructed the Governor of Hong Kong to consider and report on the question of legislation.\n\nI enclose some papers which Lieutenant Commander Haslewood has sent to the Director. Would you let me have your views? If you have any report or statement of facts which I could communicate to the Director, I should very much like to do so. The statements in the enclosed documents are certainly rather unpleasant.\n\nYours sincerely,\nMalcolm S. Delevingne\n\nSir Henry Lambert, K.C.M.G., C.B., Colonial Office.",

One of the principal shipping disasters was the loss of S.S. \"Loong Sang\", which vessel broke from her moorings, was driven across the harbour before the storm, and, after being in collision, sank with the loss of a number of lives in full view of the spectators ashore, who were powerless to render any aid. The \"Loong Sang\" had, we understand, been in dry-dock for examination with a view to being refitted and had, shortly before the typhoon, been taken out of dry-dock to an anchorage in the harbour. The engines, however, were completely dismantled and we understand that the rudder also had been unshipped.\n\nThe Management Committee of the Guild having considered the circumstances of this disaster feel justified in expressing great surprise that evidently no adequate arrangements whatever are made by the Harbour Authorities in Hong Kong for the saving of life in such cases. In the typhoon season in the China Seas, there is always imminent risk of the visitation of a typhoon and the Committee, therefore, are of opinion that during that...",

As regards the first paragraph, what authority or body would ever be in a position to say that China had permanently ceased to grow the opium poppy? As regards the second paragraph, a declaration that replacement of the opium revenue in Malaya is extraordinarily difficult but that the Government will attempt to find other sources of revenue to enable administration to be carried on as the opium revenue decreases would, in my view, be worse than no declaration at all: and why should action in Malaya hinge upon action in Hong Kong, as proposed in the first two lines of your second paragraph?\n\nIt seems to me that what we want is \n(1) as regards Hong Kong, a declaration which will make it clear that it is only the prevalence of opium smuggling from China that prevents the British Government from taking effective measures to bring the use of prepared opium to an end, and that they are prepared to do so as soon as the Chinese authorities are taking measures themselves and opium smuggling from China into Hong Kong entirely ceases or is reduced to an amount which can be adequately dealt with by the ordinary customs and police administrations.

The foundations were, it is believed, then laid for the ultimate creation of a real and effective British agricultural commonwealth. The occasion was the Imperial Agricultural Research Conference held in Great Britain in October and November, 1927, which was attended by delegates of high standing from all countries in the Empire.\n\n\"The Report of the Imperial Agricultural Research Conference,\" just issued, contains a full account of the events leading up to the Conference, the recommendations (both in full and in summary form) there made and the views expressed by the highest authorities on agriculture in all quarters of the Empire. The recommendations deal with the following subjects:- The establishment of an Imperial chain of Agricultural Research Stations. The establishment of Imperial clearing houses of information. The recruitment, training and interchange of scientific workers in agriculture for the whole Empire. The action immediately necessary to secure co-operative work in such specialist subjects as Veterinary Science, Animal Nutrition and Genetics, Dairying, Soils and Fertilisers, Plant Breeding and Pathology, Fruit Growing, Entomology, Preservation and Transport, and Agricultural Economics.\n\nThe Report of 250 pages is issued at the specially low price of 1s. (with postage 1s. 5d.), in order that it may be within easy reach of all those affected.\n\nHIS MAJESTY'S STATIONERY OFFICE\n\nLONDON—Adastral House, Kingsway, W.C.2\n\nEDINBURGH—120, George Street CARDIFF—1, St. Andrew's Crescent\n\nMANCHESTER—York Street BELFAST—15, Donegall Sq.

St. G. 377/7\n\nAs regards duties, we sat as sleeping dogs lie & hope for the best.\n\n## Passage\n\nIn the Annual Report, I think the question of this passage should be determined on the same principles. A rather provocative phrase like \"A special Foreign Registration\" might, I think, wake the sleeping dogs, even though the item is included under the head \"Customs Tariff\", which does much to cloak the fact that it is a customs duty. I should be disposed to alter the sentence to: \"A fee of 20% of the value of motor vehicles is payable on first registration in respect of...\" in the next Report. I suggest to the Col. Sect. to do so.\n\nG.L.M. Clauson\n\nAs I understand it, the point at issue is whether this Foreign Registration duty on motor cars is an internal duty or an import duty. If the former, it would be, we are advised by the Board of Trade, contrary to Treaty obligations, e.g., it offends against Art. IV of the Anglo-German Treaty of 1924. But as a matter of fact, however it may be described, the duty is an import duty, and is only given a fancy title in view of the objection on principle to extending the range of import duties in Hong Kong and Straits.\n\nThe question of the wording of the reference in the Annual Report is a minor side issue. At the time the matter of the duty was under discussion, I noticed the reference in the Report and suggested that the papers should be looked up and possibly a criticism made. In view of the fact that no alteration has since been made in the designation of the duty, and no untoward consequences have occurred, there is clearly now no reason to suggest amendment of what is a mere statement of existing fact. I would propose, therefore, unless Mr. Clauson attaches importance to a verbal amendment of the passage, to leave it alone.\n\nH. Q. Lowell\n5.12.34\n\nI do not feel strongly about it. If you think that it is better to leave the wording unchanged...\n\nG.L.M. Clauson 7/12/34\n\nWe can't change it at this stage. I think we can put it by.\n\nPage 9\nPage 11",

The small numbers of cowkeepers found round the East and West Ham group and Croydon indicate how far it is necessary to go outside London before the area is reached where dairy cattle keepers are found in any numbers.\n\nThe imperfections of the figures given in the statement as an indication of the number of producer-retailers in the country are, of course, very obvious; for instance, some cow keepers within the 5-mile radius may not be producer-retailers, while there may be numbers of producer-retailers outside the radius. The figures supplied should, therefore, be used with great reserve.\n\n* i.e., cows or heifers in milk or in calf.\n\n† The overlap in this group was not so pronounced as in the other groups; the four towns might almost have been considered individually.",

B. Fawcett (London) delivered the Presidential Address on \"The Changing Distribution of Population.\" At the beginning of the twentieth century Levasseur made a study of distribution of the world's population, calculating the proportions living north of the northern tropic, south of the southern tropic, and in the tropics, and ignoring the polar lands.\n\nThe outstanding facts were that 74 per cent. of the world's human inhabitants (now 75 per cent.) lived north of the tropic of Cancer, on 50 per cent. of the world's land area, a mean density of sixty persons per square mile; while only 14 per cent. of the world's population in 1907 lived on the 9·3 per cent. of the world's land area south of the tropic of Capricorn, at a mean density of thirteen persons per square mile. This proportion in the southern hemisphere had, however, doubled in the last thirty years, and now amounts to 2·8 per cent. of the total.\n\nOf particular interest was the belt of deserts extending from the Sahara to north-east Siberia. It was this great \"divide\" of empty lands, interrupted only by a few oases and occupied by widely scattered and nomadic peoples, which held apart the civilizations of the East and the West during all the ages of human history before da Gama's voyage to India in 1497.\n\nThe net effect of the great migrations of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries had been to add a fourth to the major populous regions and then to increase the absolute and relative numbers of the peoples within those regions. They had not tended to spread population more evenly over the earth or to fill up the great open spaces, but only to accentuate the crowding of mankind into the already populous lands.\n\nProfessor Fawcett dealt very fully with the marked and growing concentration of populations in the urban areas and great cities of the world. This drift to the towns, he said, was universal in the countries affected by modern Western civilization. Between 1921 and 1931 the proportional increase in the London area was more than double the rate of increase for Great Britain. Some other great \"conurbations\" grew even more rapidly, though none had a greater absolute increase. The number of these \"million-cities\" and of their inhabitants was increasing, so that in two or three generations, if the tendency was not checked, a majority of mankind might be found living in from 200 to 300 such conurbations.\n\nNature Takes a Hand.\n\nSix thousand more babies were born in England and Wales in the second quarter of this year. Is one to assume that Nature herself has taken alarm at the statisticians' recent prophecies of a Britain of only five million inhabitants in a hundred years' time, and is embarking on a campaign of counter-offensive?\n\n(Continued from p. 27.)\n\nany time to appear as an address for receiving communications on behalf of a society advocating the practice of birth control. Where, however, the Governor of another Colony included a reference to the subject in a speech delivered after the locally elected Legislature had made provision in its estimates for birth control clinics the Colonial Office did not consider that it would be justified in interfering.\n\n44\n46\nOctober, 1937",

NOTES.\n\nFor a very small sum per annum our affiliated Clinic, of the Pietermaritzburg Mothers' Welfare Society, does most valuable and much-needed work, and we congratulate them on their third annual report.\n\nSome examples of cases during the year are as follows:-\n\n  \n    No. of years married\n    No. of Births or Pregnancies\n  \n  \n    Coloured ..25\n    19\n  \n  \n    Wages and other particulars\n    11th preg. triplets, all died.

This will include clinical demonstrations on women of various types, and those attending will be enabled to practise on various patients the use of various contraceptive devices. Previous applications for tickets (which will be supplied to medical practitioners only) should be made in writing to the Hon. Secretary, C.B.C., 108, Whitfield Street, W.1, as space at the Clinic is still quite unable to meet the demands made on it.\n\nThe Belfast Clinic.\n\nThe nurse-in-charge of the Belfast Clinic reports when she re-opened the Clinic after the summer vacation, there were letters of inquiry from Ballycastle, Armagh, Bangor, Coleraine, Loughgall, Carnmoney, Dublin and Londonderry, which shows that news of the Clinic's existence is spreading and it is reaching those who need it.\n\nPROBLEM OF MENTAL DEFECTIVES IN LEEDS.\n\nConcern at the yearly increase in the incidence of mental deficiency in Leeds and the replenishing of the population from the least intelligent stock was expressed by Mr. B. Wormald, Mental Health Service executive officer.\n\nOver four out of every thousand persons of the population are, he pointed out, already certified under the Mental Deficiency Acts, not including feeble-minded children in special schools under the Education Committee, and at least two thousand mental deficients who have not been reported to the local authority.\n\nThe number of deficients and the sub-intelligent section of the population is increasing out of all proportion to the normal population.\n\n\"The population of Leeds is being replenished from its least intelligent stock. The annual report of the Mental Health Services Committee states that the feeble-minded person not provided with control or supervision is a social harbinger of crime, immorality, and chronic pauperism.\n\n\"It also points out that the increase of national defence is a sure forerunner burden of expenditure on the public and intensifies the social problems of the city.\"\n\nPlease secure more new and active members, and please note that we still want subscriptions to be sent to the Treasurer or Secretary at 108, Whitfield Street, W.1.\n\nH. V. Roe, Hon. Sec., C.B.C.",

On behalf of Mr. LAI Chai I asked you for the information mentioned last year and this is June 1938.\n\nIt seems to me that it must take your Departmental official a very very long time indeed to be in a position to supply the information for which it was asked a long time ago.\n\nMr. Chai would be very glad to have the information soon and he trusts that the information will show some consideration towards the Chinese here. It is not enough for the people in this country to merely talk sympathy with the Chinese in the terrible suffering they are enduring—the English people here can well afford to act considerately and to show their sympathy with the Chinese in deeds which speak louder than mere words.\n\nYours faithfully,\n\n(Signed) C. W. Slaughter.\n\nP.S. I cannot understand why you need take such a long time in giving Mr. Chai the information required. A horde of Chinese Laundries in this country is certainly neither required nor asked for.\n\nOnly a few personal friends who are skilled particularly in Chinese hand laundry work are much needed. Mr. Chai is a well-educated & much respected and very law-abiding indeed. It was He whose valuable information to the Cardiff Police much aided them to stamp...\n\n1",

        "content_text": "# International Situation\n## HOUSE OF COMMONS\n\n[Mr. Adams.]\n\nentreat all parties not to allow the Government to begin, as it were, the strangulation of the British Empire by colonial concessions to Germany.\n\nBecause I feel that this country and our Empire are in the very direst danger, I am going to take leave now to say something which hon. Members may regard as highly indelicate. I have heard it said that the Chancellor of the Exchequer may succeed to the Premiership. In 1932 the same right hon. Gentleman was Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, when Germany was still reasonable and civilised, and yet during those early and promising days of the Disarmament Conference the right hon. Gentleman found ample reasons for having no policy at all. He must be regarded to-day as the main architect of our present ruin. I do not expect my hon. Friends in the Conservative party to dispute that proposition, because in 1935 they will remember we compelled his promotion to the Home Office.\n\nLike my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for the Abbey Division (Sir S. Herbert), I would like to see a Government of National Union, including the Leaders of the Opposition. It does seem to me a most absurd thing, in this hour of our national danger—for it is nothing less, even though the crisis to-day may have been understated in this Debate—that the right hon. Members for Sparkbrook (Mr. Amery), Leamington (Mr. Eden), St. George's, and Epping are outside the Administration.\n\nSo far from causing Herr Hitler to go to war, I believe that the inclusion of those right hon. Gentlemen in the Government would cause him to think twice—a man who understands the use of force and respects those who would be able, if necessary, to use it. In what vital particular over the last five or six years has the reading of German motives by the right hon. Member for Epping been proved wrong?\n\nI would suggest that we need to-day men in all parties, men with the wit, the wish, and the will to stand up for a stronger Britain. If this nation is to survive as a great nation, as a leader of freedom, flying the banner of liberty from this island, visible to all the world, the days of surrender by this country must be ended. If we want peace, peace with honour, peace for the time not only of those who are perhaps reaching the end of their lives, but also peace for the time of those of us who are under 40 and for the time of our children, we must take the last resort, which is this—rearmament on a scale hitherto undreamt of, excluding no possibility of general national service, to meet and, if necessary, to defeat Germany. In this crisis there is nothing else and nothing less for us to do. We are indeed forced back in this emergency on to the Tacitean paradox which in happier days we could afford to ridicule: **Si vis pacem para bellum**. So long as the Nazi régime persists in Germany there is no hope of preventing war except through vast rearmament by Britain.\n\n7.19 p.m.\n\nMr. Boothby: We have had from the hon. Member for West Leeds (Mr. V. Adams) a characteristically vigorous speech, with the last part of which I, personally, found myself in a good deal of agreement, but I must point out to him that he has slightly exceeded the right angle to which he referred. I do not propose to say anything about the Munich Agreement, or indeed about what has happened in the past. I am one of those who think that, in the circumstances of the time, and under the conditions which then prevailed, the Prime Minister had no alternative at Munich but to make the best terms he could. I think that those conditions ought not to have arisen, and need not have arisen; but there they were, and it was not entirely the fault of the Prime Minister that they existed; and I am one of those who feel very strongly that he had no option but to take the action he took, that that action was courageous, and that he deserves the profound gratitude of the people of this country for what he did. There is one other thing I would like to say, which I do not think has been said enough in this House to-day, and that is how much we all welcome the appointment of my right hon. Friend the Member for the Scottish Universities (Sir J. Anderson) to the Cabinet and to be in effect Minister of Civilian Defence.\n\nApart from that, I think the Government must have been aware of the very considerable uneasiness which has pervaded this House throughout the Debate, not greatly diminished since the four days' Debate a few weeks ago; and I think there is real cause for that uneasiness still. It is not confined to any one party. The House as a whole is uneasy, because this House has a collective responsibility, and a very direct responsibility, for the safety of this country. We have failed adequately to discharge that responsibility. Why? Because we have been continuously and grossly misled by Ministers, over a period of several years, as to the true state of our defences. You cannot get away from that. To listen to the speeches of some Ministers, at different periods, you might have thought that guns and aeroplanes were flowing in on them in such an avalanche, like rain, that it was almost a source of embarrassment. Indeed, there were moments when one felt quite sorry for the Germans. But when the much heralded crisis, of which we all had ample notice, arrived, we discovered that the condition of our defences was in fact absolutely deplorable—and that has since been admitted by Ministers themselves and by the Civil Service although nothing that the Government have ever asked for our defences has been refused by this House at any time during the last four years. I think that, if the full list of the gaps and deficiencies were disclosed—which I hope it will not be—it would be a very astonishing document. But attention must be drawn in this House—and I am rather surprised it has not been drawn so far—to the observations of Mr. Eady:\n\n\"We are not prepared; we have hardly begun to prepare; we do not know how all the failures that occurred during the crisis can be avoided next time.\"\n\nMr. Eady went on to say that the regulations issued to the local authorities were the sloppiest ever produced by a Government Department. This was a high civil servant. We all have our own experiences of what happened during the period of the crisis, with regard to shelters, sandbags, hospitals, arrangements for the evacuation of children, fire brigades, police, production generally in the country, voluntary service of all kinds, the shoals of offers that came from different people all over the country, the total inadequacy with which they were dealt with, no use being found for them at the last moment, and the confusion which arose. The hon. Member who has just sat down said that the confusion in Germany was greater than in this country. All I can say to that is that Germany must have been in a very confused state indeed at the time of the crisis.\n\nSimilarly, we have heard—and there is no good in concealing these facts—about the gun deficiencies. I took the trouble to look it up, and I found that the War Office alone has spent £43,000,000 on artillery. I do not know the exact number of anti-aircraft guns of modern type that were available for the defence of this country at the time of the crisis, but if it was 20 per cent. of the establishment I should be very surprised. In many cases it was far below that. Similarly, we spent with regard to aeroplanes, £110,000,000 on aeroplanes, and that, at £15,000 apiece, ought to work out at 7,000 aeroplanes. Who in this House supposes we had 7,000 efficient fighting aeroplanes three weeks ago? Did we have 1,000, did we have 500, did we have even 100? I do not know what the precise figure was; but all this goes to show that after four years of alleged rearmament, and an expenditure totalling £1,000,000,000, the results were very unsatisfactory indeed. I would like to ask what has happened in this respect during the last four or five weeks. One would have expected—I think all of us hoped—after the last Debate that a terrific effort would be made; but I have not seen any sign of it. There appears to have been a certain amount of examination, and we have had one or two interesting speeches from Members of the Government, but that is all. There was one speech particularly, by the Home Secretary, at Clacton-on-Sea, which was of considerable significance and importance. He said:\n\n\"If this country could be so organised as to make it impossible for a knock-out blow to succeed, we could face the future with the certainty that we could never be defeated.\"\n\nAnd there was another extremely interesting speech, by the Secretary of State for War, at Cardiff, from which I will give this quotation:\n\n\"To obtain appreciable acceleration, or an appreciable enlargement within the given time of our rearmament programme, it would be necessary to revive our war-time method under which every other consideration is subordinated to this. A Ministry of Munitions to be effective must have full powers to allot orders, to assign priorities, to control the supply of materials, and to make arrangements for diversions of skilled labour.\"\n\nIf this speech means anything at all, it means that if we are to have effective rearmament \"within the given time,\" we must have a Ministry of Supply. The speech has otherwise no meaning at all; and it has been strongly reinforced in that very orthodox financial newspaper,",

        "content_text": "Commercial Movement.\n\nThrough its work at home and abroad in furthering the adoption of universally accepted weights, measures and sizes in industrial production, the British Standards Institution is particularly well qualified to gauge the trend of trade, and at a recent meeting of the Institution one of its members referred to the hopeful prospects of an expansion in world trade, laying special stress on the improved position of British export trade. A striking example of that improvement is afforded by the case of a well-known make of British motor cars. The manufacturers of this car have just announced record business from overseas countries during the first twenty weeks of this year. In that short period the cars ordered by nineteen different countries abroad outnumbered the total shipments of cars made by the firm to those countries during the whole of the year 1938.\n\nAnother instance of better trade is the Welsh tinplate position. Not only is there great activity in the home trade, but export business is also expanding. In the first half of June, shipments of tinplates from Cardiff brought in £250,000, this being almost double the corresponding amount for last year. The number of mills now operating is 264, compared with 116 a year ago, and production is at 63 per cent capacity, as against only twenty-seven per cent at this time last year. Signs of increased activity in British trade in general appear in British cable and wireless traffic returns and in the results of municipal transport concerns in Great Britain. For May this year the cable and wireless index of traffic receipts was nearly 4 per cent higher than in May, 1938. As regards municipal transport, the returns of forty-two passenger enterprises for the first eleven weeks of their financial year - the first of April to the 24th of June - show aggregate receipts of £3,340,000, or an increase of £152,000, as compared with the corresponding period of last year.",

        "content_text": "38\n\ni\n\n10\n\nSCALE II. PRESSWORK\n\nThe presswork prices have been revised.\n\nParagraph 1.--Provides for the use of double and quadruple paper whenever there is sufficient number of pages to cover these sizes. As any particular sheet would, if worked and turned, give sections of fewer pages than if perfected, the provision for perfecting is intended to give sections of greater thickness than would be obtained by the former method. The working of each side of perfected sheets shall be reckoned separately.\n\nParagraph 3. The ordering of fine work with half-tones under the Contracts will depend upon the capability of the Contractor to produce such work to the Controller's satisfaction and upon the necessity for special work.\n\nParagraph 10. More than 125 proofs ordered at one time are chargeable under this scale.\n\nParagraph 12. The quantity of paper allowed for 125 copies of a sheet is 129 sheets (four overs), but for 125 copies of a folio the quantity would be (if quad paper is issued) 18 sheets of quad, i.e., 125 ÷ 8 = 16—the minimum allowance of two full sheets.\n\nSCALE III.—MISCELLANEOUS WORK\n\nThe prices for all miscellaneous work have been revised.\n\nFor all Miscellaneous Work the charges will be calculated upon the cumulative quantity of each operation in any work; thus, whilst the folding, etc., of 800 copies of one sheet is chargeable as 875 copies (by 125's), the folding of 800 copies each of five sheets is chargeable only as 4,000 copies, not as 4,375. Similarly, 500 copies of a 12-page royal 8vo pamphlet would be reckoned as 1,000 pieces for cutting up—one minimum charge.\n\nThe Minimum charge of 8d. is not subject to an extra percentage on account of work being executed on manilla, card, etc.; e.g., the charge for cutting up 2,000 pieces of manilla is 8d., not 8d. plus 50 per cent.\n\nThe minimum charge is for each operation; e.g., one minimum only would be chargeable for folding 125 copies of a work consisting of one 4-page section and one 8-page section.\n\nFolding\n\nFolding (sections). These rates are only applicable to work which has to be stitched, etc. A 4-page form folded singly would be chargeable under \"Forms Singly.\"\n\nGlueing on Wrappers.-The following is an example of a charge for manilla wrappers with glued-down end-leaves:—\n\n11\n\nMISCELLANEOUS WORK—continued\n\nTrimming-Unless otherwise ordered works shall be trimmed to the following sizes in inches:—\n\n  \n    Foolscap folio\n    Demy quarto\n    Imperial octavo\n  \n  \n    11\n    \n    \n  \n  \n    Royal octavo\n    131 × 81\n    x 81\n    108 x 71\n    98 x 6\n  \n  \n    Foolscap quarto\n    Demy octavo\n    \n  \n  \n    81 × 61\n    8 x 5\n    \n  \n  \n    Crown octavo\n    Demy sixteenmo\n    \n  \n  \n    71 × 41\n    58 × 41\n    \n  \n\nAll other works shall be trimmed sufficiently only to separate the leaves and make the edges smooth.\n\nCutting up. When paper is cut to size before printing as indicated in paragraph 1 of Scale II, payment will be made only for the number of sheets reduced in size, and not for the cumulative total of sheets and offcuts, e.g., 20,000 imperial sheets ordered to be cut to double crown would be paid as 20,000 pieces, not 40,000 pieces (20,000 sheets plus 20,000 offcuts). The payment for cutting to size is not applicable to quadruple, double, or single sheets, which are cut to double, single, or fractions, as the case may be.\n\nCutting up will not be paid on each cutting (except as explained in the preceding paragraph) where sheets are cut up before and after printing. Charge shall be on the quantity resulting from the final cutting.\n\nRuling. The minimum charge is for 125 copies, e.g., 125 copies of a foolscap sheet ruled one direction, one side, would be charged 1s. 4d. under col. 2, and 1s. 8d. ÷ 8 = 2d. under col. 3—total charge 1s. 6d.\n\nManilla and Card Rates.-The extra rates provided for these materials will be paid irrespective of weight.\n\nPAPER\n\nThe quantity of paper allowed for 125 copies of a sheet is 129 sheets (four overs), but for 125 copies of a folio the quantity would be (if quad paper is issued) 18 sheets of quad, i.e., 125 ÷ 8 = 16—the minimum allowance of two full sheets.\n\nCONDITIONS\n\nThe Conditions have been revised since the previous contracts were awarded.\n\n5. d.\n\nGlueing on 1,000 foolscap folio wrappers..\n\n13 4\n\n50 per cent. extra for manilla ..\n\n6 8\n\n150 per cent. of 13s. 4d. for glued-down end-leaves..\n\n20 0\n\n40 0\n\nInsetting. The extra charge for short or narrow sheets is applicable only when such sheets are sewn or stitched.\n\nStitching. Double rates shall be chargeable for books flat stitched both ways, e.g., 2,000 books of 100 leaves flat stitched three wires both ways would be 3s. 8d. x 2 = 7s. 4d. per 1,000 books.\n\nCC\n\nOne piece section,\" e.g., sheet of 16 pages folded and untrimmed. A single section folded, stitched, and trimmed on three edges is chargeable as a \"one-piece section\" for stitching.\n\nLC\n\nTwo or more pieces,\" e.g., two or more sections or two or more separated leaves.\n\nShould further information or explanation be desired, application should be made to the Controller, H.M.

The Earl Howe, Re Taxation of Norwegian Officers.\n\nIt has been brought to our attention that the Examiner of Income Tax in Hong Kong has decided that where a Norwegian ship arrives and stays in Hong Kong for a total period of ninety days during a year, i.e., from April 1st to March 31st, Norwegian officers would come within the ambit of Hong Kong Income Tax provisions.\n\nWe are writing to enquire as to whether exemption from taxation cannot be agreed, having regard to the exemption which has been applied by the Income Tax Authorities in this country.\n\nIn this respect we would inform you that, in August last we were advised by the Inland Revenue Authorities that, after full consideration it had been decided that officers and men of the merchant navies of Norway, Poland, Holland and Belgium who were normally resident outside the United Kingdom but who were now working from United Kingdom ports would not be charged United Kingdom Income Tax in respect of their salaries or wages.\n\nIn addition, a similar practice would be followed in the case of French and Danish Officers and men who were serving on French or Danish ships which were requisitioned by the British Government and who continued to serve on them.\n\nHaving regard to the foregoing, we hope that...\n\nCopy to `T.7.0.`  \nPage 6  \nPage 18",

        "content_text": "# FOOTBALL & RUGBY\n\nLondon, Mar. 21.\n\nThe Football Union has drawn up proposals to put before the League Management Committee conference.\n\nMembers have been warned not to sign next season's agreements until the result of their claims are known and accepted.\n\nThe proposed maximum weekly wage during the season is £12 with £10 during the summer, applying to full-time professionals. Also, a proposed minimum of £5 weekly all-year for part-time players and an increase from £4 to £5 in retaining fee.\n\nA further proposed benefit should be increased by £100 to £750 and that the International fees be raised from £10 to £25.\n\nThe Union has inaugurated a Benevolent Fund and will ask for a donation from the Jubilee Fund which is estimated to contain £65,000, while the Football Association is being approached for a donation of £5,000 from the Cup proceeds.\n\nWhile appearing sweeping reformation, it is generally realised players deserve improved conditions when considering the cash they attract.-Reuter.\n\n| Club/Team | Result |\n| --- | --- |\n| Preston North End vs Blackburn Rovers | 3-1 |\n| Cardiff vs Bath | 11-3 |\n| Northampton vs RAF Bomber Command | 22-15 |\n\nTwo Men Not Guilty\n\nLiverpool, Mar. 21. The charge of murdering eleven-year-old Charles Greeney against two of the six men accused was dismissed yesterday.\n\nThe magistrate ruled that no case had been made out against Charles Patrick Hamilton, 31-year-old motor driver of Chalmers Street and John Kay, 27, a taxi driver of Withington Road, Whalley Range, Manchester.\n\nThe other four, who pleaded not guilty, were committed for trial for the murder.\n\nAll six were additionally committed on the charges of burglary to which they pleaded not guilty.-Reuter.\n\nThe accused who are also charged with breaking and entering the house, are James Welsh, 25, seaman, of no fixed address; Charles Lawrenson, 31, seaman, of Chalmers Street, Edge Hill, Liverpool; Charles Patrick Hamilton, 31, motor driver, of Chalmers Street; John Kay, 27, a taxi driver of Withington Road, Whalley Range, Manchester; Henry Joseph White, 24, a decorator of no fixed address; Thomas McClynn, 24, a ship's fireman of Lancaster Street, Kirkdale, Liverpool.\n\nThe Prosecutor said there was no evidence which tended to show that Kay or Hamilton were inside the house, though they were taking part in the burglary. The Magistrate might consider they could be dismissed from the case on the murder charge.\n\nHearing was adjourned.-Reuter.\n\n## R.A.F. SELECTIONS\n\nThe following will represent Royal Air Force in the Rehabilitation Football League match against Civilians \"B\" at Club de Recreio today at 4:15 p.m.: Green; Lennox and McCrystall; Pennington, Smith and Bailey; Taylor, Bennett, Brown, Hanlon and Kesley. Reserves.-Cowan, Boyd and Marsden.\n\n## ST ANDREW'S MUSEUM\n\nGolf Ball Made in Camp In Germany\n\nSt Andrew's, Scotland, Mar. 21. The Royal and Ancient Golf Club now includes among its treasures a ball made by a prisoner-of-war at Stalagluft, Germany. It was used by golfing enthusiasts among the prisoners who improvised a course within the camp boundaries and has been presented by Bombardier Wm Sampson of the Royal Australian Air Force, whose home is in Hobart, Tasmania.\n\nThe ball consists of a small lead core inside a hollowed sponge rubber ball with a base of thin strips from a football bladder and a cover of leather cut from shoes. It will take an honoured place amongst games relics in St Andrew's Museum where old time balls, such as the feather and shuttle tell the history of games until the coming of the present-day rubber ones.-Reuter.\n\n## EAST RIVER COLUMN\n\n### Communist Allegations Of Kuomintang Raids\n\nCANTON CENSORSHIP\n\nIn their latest news bulletin, the East River Column alleges that although censorship of correspondences and telegrams has been abolished in Canton, men of the Investigation and Statistics Bureau of the Military Council have been secretly censoring letters in the post offices in Canton. The strikes of newsboys selling the Wah Shiang Pao in Hongkong and the closing down of four magazines in Canton are also alleged to have been inspired by certain Canton quarters.\n\nThe same pro-Communist source accused Kuomintang troops in the area east of the Kowloon-Canton Railway of having arrested and tortured some members of the East River Column, including some young women members.\n\nThe bulletin states that at the recent plenary session in Chungking of the Kuomintang Central Executive Committee, the Kuomintang \"fascistic reactionaries\" tried to inaugurate anti-Soviet and anti-Communist campaign, and at the same time attacked the more democratic elements within the Kuomintang, including Mr Chang Chun, Governor of Szechuan, and General Feng Yu-hsiang, the \"Christian General.\"\n\n## BOAT RACE TRIAL\n\nFull Course\n\nLondon, Mar. 21. Oxford rowed the full course of the boat race trial today in 20 minutes and 22 seconds, which is 2 seconds slower than Cambridge's time earlier this week.\n\nIn the Inter-Varsity golf match played at St Anne's in Lancashire, Cambridge beat Oxford by nine games to four. Two of the games were halved.-Reuter.\n\n## ROME DEMONSTRATION\n\nWAR VETERANS' PARADE\n\nRome, Mar. 21. A sub-machine gun burst, fired during a demonstration by war veterans outside the Ministry of War, wounded eight persons today.\n\nOfficial announcements failed to say who fired the weapon, while veterans shoved against Carabinieri who were holding them out of the Ministry.\n\nThe veterans, many of whom had crutches or canes, were protesting against the high cost of living and unemployment.\n\nExtra forces were called out and hurriedly dispersed them.\n\nThe wounded included three veterans, four Carabinieri and one civilian.-United Press.\n\n## ICE-HOCKEY TOURISTS\n\nWembley, Mar. 21. The Swedish ice-hockey tourists ended their short British tour tonight when they were overwhelmed by a Canadian team by nine goals to one.\n\nThe Swedes won their opening matches against an English side and beat Scotland, but lost to Wembley Lions last week.-Reuter.\n\n## ACTOR CRICKETER\n\nLondon, Mar. 21. Sir C. Aubrey Smith, veteran British actor who introduced cricket to Hollywood, has accepted the vice-presidency of the Eltham Cricket Club in Kent.-United Press.",

Ltd. of Hong Kong, and we enclose for your information, a copy of the last letter dated 8th March 1949, which we received from those agents dealing with this subject. \n\nThe value of the stocks concerned is £174.19.11. C.J.F. \n\nWe may state that in January 1942 we approached the Enemy Debts Section of the Board of Trade with a view to registering particulars of this property. \n\n/Over. \n\n**ALL COMMUNICATIONS TO BE ADDRESSED TO THE COMPANY.** \n(FBI)",
