Several seamen and soldiers\n\nforeigners.\n\nwere searching; towards evening heard that one of the seamen had seen some blood on the rocks near the water; went to the place and found two or three large pools of blood, and in one place as if a body covered with blood had been dragged over the rock, this place was about 200 yards from fishing station, and in same direction in which the blood was traced in the morning. Directed my boatmen to search opposite this place; they searched with a boat hook without discovering any thing for some time. There was a heavy swell, and in keeping the boat off the rocks the broken handle of a spear fell into the water; he ing one of the spears from the village, I ordered the boatmen to recover it, as it was part of the evidence, it had sunk and was entangled among the seaweed). While the boatmen were trying to recover it a body became visible among the seaweed, which I recognis- ed to be that of Captain DaCosta. There were several wounds on head, hands, and body, that in the eye appeared to have been inflicted by a triangular spear; the body was taken to Stanley Enrracks that night, and subsequently brought to Victoria.\n\nDanie! R. Culdwell, sworn,-Has heard Mr. May's evidence; accompanied him to Stanley and Wong- ma-kok, on the 26th and 27th February. Was not with Mr. May all the time; ordered by him to trace the blood towards the water, found the blood on path leading from Wong-mu-kok to water: Mr. May went up to the village, I went towards the water; Acarted about half way from Wong-ma-kok traced blood to within 60 yards of small fishing but, a short distapes from the water; found live Chinese in the but and took them to enslody; found nothing suspicious, and not being able to trace blood further went back to the vil-\n\nlage, where I found Mr. May, Ailer searching about the village, returned to Hongkong with Mr. May. We went hack next morning to Wong-ma-kok; found a portion of spear in the village with marks of blood in consequence of a report that a large quantity of blood had been seen near the water, we all went dawn corroborates Mr. May's statement as to find- ing Captain DaCosta's body; jumped into the water, and brought it on shore by a rope round the arts; returned, finding that further search was useless as it was becoming dark. Searched the pockets, found the watch has gone, the rings were also missing; touk the body Stanley, Corroborates the account of the state of body as to wounds on head, hands, and face, saw other wounds after the body was undraseed; } the body was taken from Stanley to Hongkong. Went to the village some days after with Lo-acow, who point- ed on the exact places where the others were killed, one was in a brick field; there was a pool of blood there.\n\nCrons examined,-The place where Captain Da Costa was killed was absent 74 yards from corner of house at the end of village. Could not see from the house the price where Captain DaCosta was killed, there were trees intervening. The place where Jasze-\n\ntenant Dwyer was killer is about 150 yards further, from where Captain DaCosta was killed. Could not see the place where Captain DaCosta was killed until within 30 yards of it.\n\nRe-examined. When the boy pointed out the spot where Captain DaCosa was killed he said he was an eye-witness to the killing\n\nW. Morrison, Colonial Surgeon, sworn,Examined the body of Captain DaCoste on or about the 29th, in Conjunction with Dr. Tweddell, at the dead house of the Military hospital, Vistoria, dll not make an exact post- mortem. Discovered three wounds inflicted by a knife or sword on the scalp, penetrating to the scull; at outer angle of left eye a perforated wound, made apparently by a spear. Such an instamment as the spear with a cutting edge might have inflicted the wounds on the scalp. There was a large wound on the right hip three inches long made by a cutting instrument, the esa kond of spear might have done it; there were very severe contusions, on the hands, face, and back, us if the body had been beaten. Think none of the wounds sufficient to cause death. Did not open the body from the advanced state of decomposi tion. Dr. Tweddell, agreed in my opinion. I think Captain DaCaste was thrown in alive and drowned. Probable that Captain DaCosta was either in a state of syncopé or altering from concussion of the brain when thrown into the water. I form this opinion from the appearance and nature of the wounds-the water would operate in the same way to came death whether the person suffered from syrempe or concussion of the brain---drowning would be the cause of death. Chain DaCosta if suffering from concussion ang't have remained in an insensible state for two or three days, if in syncopé could not remain so two 3 hours and live,\n\nCross examined,--The handle of the spear could i not produce the wounds on the body, the head of the y spear broken off, would not produce the cat wounds, it might produce the wound in the eye.\n\nThe Attorney General proposed to read the depositions of the absent witnesses,\n\nMr. Gaskell objected on the ground that the late Ordinance only applied to Chinese witnesses and ) was not retrospective.\n\nLieutenant Macdonald's filed deposition read.

Chuy-apo accompanied the bodies to the water; he witness did not go himself to the water, saw when they passed, the prisoner accompanying, following behind\n\nCase for prosecution closed.\n\nMr. Gaskell in defence pointed out the conflicting nature of the evidence.\n\nThe Judge in summing up entreated the Jury to dismiss from their minds all prejudice; to give the prisoner the same chance as if he were an English man or as if he were guilty of killing one of his own countrymen. Read evidence. Convente on its discrepancies, especially in the difference between Lo-chua-she's evidence before the coroner, and that now delivered. If they thought the prisoner had? sufficient provocation (and he undoubtedly had some) ( that the verdict would be manslaughter; if so, war der the prisoner would of course receive the benefit of any doubt which they might have on the case.\n\nThe Jury retired at 5 o'clock P. M., to consider their verdict, and returned at 5. m., with verdict, \"guilty of manslaughter.\"\n\nThe prisoner said he ought to be sent to his own country to be punished.\n\nThe Judge agreed with the verdict; he could not have condemned the prisoner to death on such evidence.- Sentence to be transported for life.\n\nTHE RIVAL NAVIES.\n\n(From the Naval Service Magazine for December, 1850.J Whenever there The lull in the excitement of public affairs, the cry is raised country is in danger.

Jardine, Matheson & Co.'s office and godowns; and they seemed to have had a good many friends who cried out sufficiently loudly on the injustice of condemning innocent men to death to induce Sir John Bowring to give the men a second trial before himself and the Executive Council.\n\nAfter a lengthened examination of witnesses during two days, we are informed by eye witnesses that the guilt of the men was, if anything, made more apparent.\n\nThe Governor has, however, in deference to popular clamor, seen fit to remit the punishment of death.\n\nBoth in the new trial and in the commutation of punishment, Sir John Bowring has acted in an exceedingly improper manner.\n\nHer Majesty has instituted an Order of Valor to be called the \"Victoria Cross,\" which is only to be conferred during acts of signal bravery before the enemy.\n\nAs to the trial, we have said that we have been informed by eye witnesses that the guilt of the men was, if anything, made more apparent.\n\nThe fire on board the Fiery Cross made such speedy work with the coin that Captain Thoms has to regret the loss of the whole of his cabin furniture and clothes.\n\nThe mail to 11th February is very strong as to the peace congress in Paris, and that is the sum of the news--all else is \"leather and prunella.\"\n\nThe Levant, of 382 tons, for Australia, formerly an American (U. S.) vessel but now flying the Hawaiian flag, was seized by orders of Sir James Stirling for a breach of the Chinese Passenger Act.\n\nThe offence committed is that she had not the requisite papers from the Emigration Officer.\n\nIf she had 320 passengers on board, as stated, she also committed a breach in carrying an excess of passengers.\n\nBut, in addition, she has no ship's papers--all of which, or even two of which, may be considered a good ground for proceeding to the utmost extremity of the law--forfeiture of the ship, and fine and imprisonment of the parties engaged.\n\nBut then arises the question--What are the passengers to do?\n\nWe have heard it stated that the charterer, or owner, or whatever character he holds, has received from 30,000 to 35,000 dollars for passage money, while it is asserted that the value of the ship at the outside is not 10,000.\n\nIt is not an agreeable position for the government to find themselves in, having deprived 320 men of their passage of the value of 30,000 say, and to find themselves with only 10,000 towards reinstating the unfortunate wretches in their former position.\n\nIt looks to us as if the \"Chinese Passenger Act\" is bad, or that it is badly administered; perhaps a little of both, but most likely more of the latter.\n\nIn the first place, the supervision of the ship is not compulsory on the part of the Government.\n\nSecondly, it is only to begin on the application of the Captain to the Emigration Officer.\n\nWas it not advisable to have interfered earlier?\n\nWe desire the death of no man, but so long as the statute book affixes death as the punishment of the highest order of crimes, so long ought these crimes to be punished with death.\n\nAnd we know no greater crime than that of armed gang robbery, where the life of the defenders of property is taken.\n\nIn the case of the Levant, the vessel came into harbor on 16th March, was laid on for passengers, and even when seized on the 23rd ultimo, had been given to the Emigration Officer.\n\nPROCLAMATION.\n\nJOHN BOWRING.\n\nGovernor and Commander-in-Chief of the Colony of Hongkong and its Dependencies, and Vice-Admiral of the same.\n\nThe Sentence of Death recorded against Wong-AKUT, convicted of murder at the last Criminal Session of the Supreme Court, is commuted to that of Transportation for Life; the Sentence of Death passed on Chan-Wah-Kong, Tam-Kut-Heng, Lo-Ah, Cha-Anboon, and Luk-AuH, also convicted at the above Sessions of the same crime, is commuted to that of Transportation for Life; and a Free Pardon is granted to Tam-AKUT, similarly convicted on the same occasion.\n\nBy His Excellency's Command\n\nW. T. MERCER,\n\nColonial Secretary.\n\nGOD SAVE THE QUEEN.\n\nGiven at Victoria, Hongkong, this 26th Day of March, 1856.\n\nLately there have been numerous desertions from the ranks of the 59th Regiment, and many more would doubtless have occurred and the means of getting from the island been as direct as they were when we had more whale-ship recruiting here than we have lately had.\n\nIt being suspected that a number of deserters were secreted on board the American whaler Canton Packet, Inspector Jarman with a party of police proceeded on board that vessel on the evening of the 27th, when nine were ferreted out of their hiding places.\n\nAbout three o'clock yesterday morning, it was noticed that the steamer P&O'slun, which has been lying here for the last five months undergoing extensive repairs, was on fire.\n\nTHE PUBLIC SCHOOL.\n\nThe Annual General Meeting of the Subscribers to the new Public School was held in the Agricultural Society's room on the 24th ultimo.\n\nA Statement showing the Progress and Attendance at \"St. Andrew's School,\" during the year 1855-6.\n\nApril ........ 16\n\nMay ........ 30\n\nJune ........ 36\n\nJuly ........ 38\n\nAugust ....... 37\n\nSeptember ..... 35\n\nOctober ...... 33\n\nNovember ..... 32\n\nDecember ..... 30\n\nJanuary ...... 28\n\nFebruary ..... 26\n\nMarch ....... 25\n\nTotal ....... 62\n\nAverage Attendance 16\n\nPresent: Messrs.

All this will not be done concerning the Glinck Tartars whose villages he visited. The Chairman brought to the notice of the members, that no meeting of the Council had been held for some time; and it was agreed that the regular fortnightly meetings should be resumed.\n\nThe paper contained a sort of summary of some parts of the Coast of Tartary visited by the author in H.M. steamer Barracouta during 1856, and any interesting particulars concerning the Glinck Tartars whose villages he visited. The excuse by party motions in parliament, where the orator hid his face in his cambric pocket handkerchief to hide the tears he does not shed for the woes of the poor Chinese, while he winks at his followers to keep them alive to the capital party game he is playing for power and plunder.\n\nOn this basis we say the ordinance will not and cannot be carried out, at least not without an extra police force. Did any one ever before hear of the chief authorities must clearly understand that they are to act on this understanding, or leave the country, or be prepared for a continual recurrence of similar disturbances to the present.\n\nThe real birds were flown as is even thinner than that of the Russian. A vote of thanks was then passed to Dr. Tronson for his interesting paper, and the meeting adjourned.—China Mail, April 23.\n\nCHINESE POISONS.—We extract from the North-China Herald a paper on Chinese poisons by Dr. MacGowan of Ningpo. Dr. MacGowan does not aim at giving any scientific information on the subject of poisons, and his paper is therefore merely a popular, and we may add amusing essay, which will very likely be read with interest.\n\nThe Hongkong Government Gazette of 28th March 1857 furnishes us with the census of Hong Kong to the 30th December 1855. Taking it simply as we find it, without note or conjecture, it appears there are 69,251 of Chinese of all ages and sex on the island. Of these 45,602 are adult males and 12,001 adult females, with 11,558 male and female children. Of Houses we have 2,257 in Victoria and 972 in the Villages—a total of 3,239 houses, which will give on the average 322 number one, and 2,907 number two spies.\n\nA contemporary says he does not know fear, likely to experience something of a reverse due to the approaching season. Owing to the Chinese rebels to the north, the tea districts were so placed as to lie somewhat out of the way of the transmission of produce direct to Shanghae having been stopped by the advance of the rebels.\n\nMARKETS. Since the departure of the last H.M.S. \"RALEIGH.\" This vessel bearing the flag of Commodore Keppel, while almost in sight of her destination, struck on a sunken rock, and after a run of nearly twenty-five miles was beached on an island in the neighborhood of Macao. We say beached, but we ought rather to say sunk in 12 feet of mud and 3 fathoms water.\n\nORIENTAL BANK CORPORATION.\n\nEXCHANGE.\n\nOn London,—6 months' sight, 4s. 11d. Calcutta—3 days' sight. Rupees 23¼ per $100. Bombay, 8 days' sight, Rupees 23¼ per $100.\n\nCORTIT AND OTHER BILLS.\n\nOn England—58.—6 months' sight.\n\nOn Bombay,—3 days' sight, Rupees 23¼. On Calcutta—3 days' sight, Rupees 23¼.\n\nFoo-Chow. This port which has assumed a great position in the tea trade is, we fear, likely to experience something of a reverse due to the approaching season.\n\nThe poison used by the bandits who kill game with poisoned arrows seems to be something of the same nature, if in fact it is not altogether the same, as the South American poison Wourali.\n\nA contemporary says he does not know what the effect of this high-handed proceeding may be on the Chinese; but we well know that the effect it has on ourselves, i.e., to move us to derisive and contemptuous laughter.\n\nIt seems to be doubtful if she will be saved. The Commodore and men are however available as a \"Naval Brigade,\" and as such may do more service than as the crew of a heavy frigate unable to get up the Canton River.\n\nCORROX. Little business has been done, but sellers are firm. Bombay is quoted:—10.75 a 11.50 and Bengal $9.75 a 10.75.\n\nSHANGHAE. The rates at Shanghae on 20th inst. were: Patna $39 a 345; Malwa $358 × 360.\n\n69,251 spies, always excluding the little children who cannot speak, the numbers of which are not stated in the census. Well then, the first work in the morning is to collect the household spies, to ascertain what each of their neighbors had in the way of victuals, who called on them—what they said when they called—what was said in reply.\n\nThe Kapcheong, the tenth occupier, has done the same, and then he is waited upon by his nine neighbors who empty their buckets of gossip into his, and with that he trudges off to empty it into the general cesspool—the Register General.\n\nBy the time all the buckets are emptied into the general receptacle, the day will be well done—we should think. But then the framers of the ordinance will say, there will be no such need of so many reports; there must be honest men, there are plenty of Kaps. Granted, but will that exonerate the occupiers from a daily inquisition into his own household and into those of his neighbors if he wishes to evade the penalties of the law?\n\nON THE CHINESE SLAVE TRADE TO CUBA.\n\nThis disgraceful traffic has been exciting considerable attention here of late—see correspondence and leaders.\n\nNo one, not even the agents engaged in it, denies the atrocities committed in carrying it out— but what is the love of our neighbors to the love of ourselves? The whole matter is stated when we say, that money, and a great deal of money, is to be made in the trade.\n\nOne sanguine correspondent thinks that if matters are so bad asserted, the British Consul at Havana would take the case up. The British Consul at Havana has to look after his own countrymen, and certainly has no power to interpose with the Spanish Government to punish on behalf of the Chinese coolies after they are landed.\n\nWe trust no one will attempt to make upon it that so one but the most worthless fellow there seems to be a doubt whether more African slaves were lost in the middle passage than Chinese freemen on their passage to Havana.\n\nThere is however the concluding objection, were better off than the free men. When a slave owner buys a slave he becomes part of the wealth of his master, and to be cared for as his master's horses or dogs.\n\nA great part of the funds that had been sent up country for the purchase of teas have been returned to Foo Chow, and it is feared the trouble state the entry will parallel. The Vice-Roy has addressed a letter to M. Parker, U.S. Minister, assuring him that the murderer of Mr. Cunning ham has been strangled for the offence.\n\nThe duties which have been kept back by the 18 Canton authorities were about to be paid up.—Work—China Mail, April 18.\n\nSUPPOSED ATTEMPT AT INCENDIARISM.\n\nLast Saturday about sundown the two policemen on a beat to the West having captured a coolie suspected of incendiarism, left their beat to convey their captive to the station, and in their absence two boats filled with men were seen pulling in towards a very exposed shed of the P. & O. S. N. Co.'s containing coal and patent fuel.\n\nThe boats were fired on and they pulled back, but whether any one in the boats was killed or wounded does not appear. It is very clear to us what they intended to do. If the Compradore is generally a respectable man, we know too well what fearful retribution would eventually overtake him, to be guilty of a useless crime.\n\nOUR SECOND WAR WITH CHINA.\n\nLet the government think of the two opposite politicians the Earl of Derby and Mr. Cobden were honest men, instead of howling out sham grief and weeping crocodile tears over the miseries of the unfortunate Cantonese, they would be laboring to put a stop to this trade which has inflicted and will inflict more misery that even the worst effects of war in China at one blow, if at all, and the disgraceful carried on by us are ever likely to cause.\n\nDAILY REPORT.\n\n(Macau, 26th April, 1857.)\n\nCOTTON—Bengal - $10 a 10½ per picul.\n\nBombay -10¾ @ 11.\n\nMadras\n\nOPIUM—Patna New\n\nWe shall have to read on the 15th instant on the Ghilack Tartars by John M. Tronson Esq. assistant surgeon of H.M. Str. Barracouta.\n\nEna, the supposed murderer of Mr. Markwick, is now safely lodged in gaol for trial.\n\nAt a meeting of the China Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society on Wednesday evening, 15th April.\n\nDr. Harland, Vice President, in the chair. The minutes of the previous Meeting having been read by the Secretary and proposed by the Chairman for approval.\n\nDr. Anstey rose, and proposed that in the sentence commencing with \"The Attorney General continued at some length and in very strong language,\" the words \"in very strong language,\" should be expunged.\n\nThe Attorney General explained that it might be inferred from these words that his language had been needlessly strong. This, he maintained, was not the case, and affirmed that he would have been justified in speaking still more strongly.\n\nThe general opinion of the meeting seemed to be, that the words in question properly characterised Mr. Anstey's language, but that it was not to be inferred from them that this language was stronger than the occasion warranted.\n\nIt was then put to the meeting by the Chairman. \"That the minutes be confirmed as they stand.\" For this resolution were. Drs. Harland, Lorrain, and Chadscoat, and Mr. T. A. Lane.\n\nAgainst it were the Hon. T. C. Anstey, Esq., and the Rev. Alex. Irwin.\n\nThe minutes were accordingly confirmed.\n\nThe Auditors and the Treasurer being absent, the Society's accounts were not presented.\n\nDr. Tronson's paper—\"Some observations on the Ghilack Tartars, their manners, customs, and the regions they inhabit,\"—was then read by the Secretary.\n\nAs soon as reliable information had been obtained, the Tepo, with his confederate the head watchman, and two other Chinese, were summoned to appear before the Magistrate here, to answer some petty charge or other.\n\nThe Tepo, however, proved too cunning, and declined to answer the summons; but one of the two men who had been summoned up along with him as a blind, got into a great fright, and disclosed several important facts.\n\nThe consequence was, that two expeditions were planned. One to Chek-chu on Saturday, to apprehend the Tepo and secure the stolen property; the other to Cowloong on Tuesday, to endeavour to get possession of the mandarin emissaries.\n\nThe arrangements in both instances were exceedingly well laid, and if they did not perfectly succeed, the failure is to be attributed to causes over which those who planned them could have no control.\n\nSee Supplement.",

        "content_text": "## 458\n\n(12)\n\nThe balance ($150) Mr. Caldwell was to receive the rents from the tenants for three months, which would amount to $150. I told him that I had not paid all the purchase-money for the property bought from Woods; I told Assow that Mr. Caldwell had written to me to come back from Macao, and he would transfer the leases. When I came back, Mr. Caldwell said that I must wait a little as he was busy. I told Assow I had a fear that the creditors of Mr. Caldwell might get back the lots and sell them. This happened about the middle of last month (May). I have pressed Mr. Caldwell to complete the transfer.\n\nMr. Caldwell negotiated the purchase. I paid him $2,000 first in sums of $1,000 each, leaving a balance of $1,000, and I got Mr. Caldwell to get back $500 of the last payment, so that $1,500 should remain on interest. Mr. Caldwell told me that the property had been mortgaged, and not that he had not got back the papers; but Mr. Caldwell had never refused to complete the transfer. The 15 houses from Mr. Woods were bought in November.\n\nWhen I bought the first 10 houses, I got a document (a bill of sale) from Mr. Caldwell, but did not get the new lease. I told Mr. Caldwell that I did not understand the business and wished the matter put into a lawyer's hands. Mr. Stace was employed. The bill of sale was in Chinese. All the transactions were on my own account.\n\nOf the 15 houses bought from Mr. Woods, my brother Ah Chew receives the rents. I know a woman called Chew Alai; she lives at Macao. I gave her 3 of the houses out of the lot of 10. She did not pay me anything. I gave them to her; she is my concubine, and I wanted to settle these houses on her. I did not give Mr. Stace any instructions, but left Mr. Caldwell to do so, that the 10 and 4 houses might be transferred in the usual way. I wanted the 3 houses transferred to Chew Alai if it could be done as I wished, and if not, no matter.\n\nThe old leases were given to Mr. Stace, but I hold some older ones. I did not give the bill of sale to Mr. Stace as it was in Chinese, and Mr. Caldwell said that he would give an English one. I know Mak Afook; he collects rents for me.\n\nWith reference to the 10 houses, Mak Afook gives me $30 a-month rent for them. As to the 4, Mak Afook has nothing to do with them; Szekai collects the rent on them; he pays me $50 for them per month.\n\nI was absent from Hongkong at China New Year (February last) and went to my own country. Before I left, I told Szekai to pay the ground-rent; I told him he was to ask the old master about the payment; I meant Mr. Caldwell. Since the 11th month (December) of last year, I have been in possession of the houses and have not paid Mr. Caldwell anything. I pay the interest to Mr. Woods. I do not owe Mr. Caldwell anything for these houses. There is no arrangement by which I am to pay Mr. Caldwell on account of rents on these houses. Mr. Caldwell has not the slightest interest in any of the houses.\n\nRe-examined, I had no security for the $2,000 lent to Mr. Caldwell. I had an acknowledgment in English writing, stating that the interest was $25 per mille per month. I had no receipt for the $1,500 lent on account of my friend. Achoy-eu, a person in California, was the friend whose money I lent; he told me, if I had a suitable opportunity, to buy opium; as I found none, I lent the money at call, and therefore there was to be no interest. I know Assow, the road surveyor, but never told him that I was a poor man.\n\nThe three houses given to Chew Alai were not to be given to herself forever but only so long as she behaved well. I was not to get the rent for them. When I bought them, they were shops, not brothels. They are not brothels now.\n\nI do not know Chun Atsoo. I do not know that Mr. Caldwell knows Chew Alai, but I have mentioned her name to him.\n\nBy Chairman, The old lease papers are at my house - 3 or 4. Mr. Lyons has seen them.\n\n[The witness was told to bring these papers to-morrow morning.]\n\n## LEE AH WA\n\nCalled and examined.\n\nBrothel keeper, No. 79, No. of house 517.

Since 22nd December, I have paid rent at the rate of $15 per month to Achew, the brother of Lum Ateen; I have always paid him the rent. I have never seen Mr. Caldwell before my husband got the license for me. I do not know Mr. Lyons - have seen him twice. Did not tell him that the house was Caldwell's. Some repairs had been effected to the house in the cook-house; I told Achew to get it done for me, and he assented. Pay rent in advance; get no receipt.\n\n## YEEP AYUNG\n\nCalled and examined.\n\nBrothel keeper, No. 9. I have a ticket belonging to a different house to the one I reside in, having been burnt out.

I have a rent book, but have not brought it; it has Yee Wo-fook's name in it as landlord. Can't read. Pay $16 per month to Yee Wo-fook; do not know if he acts as agent, never asked him. No repairs have been done to the house lately; know Mr. Caldwell as Registrar of Brothels, never saw him at the house. Do not know Lum Ateen. Have seen both Mr. Lyons and the Lookong yesterday; they asked me what I was doing; I said I was sewing. Asked me what the men resident in the house did; I said they lived in the house since 28th December last. The property worked, sold vegetables, &c. I never said that Mr. Caldwell was the owner of the house.\n\n## LOW AH FONG\n\nRecalled.\n\nI do not know that the house ever belonged to me. Foo keeps it. I had heard of my own house before I went to live in it. The front of my house is wood, not brick. There is a man who keeps a Rice shop next door; his name is Ah-leen. There is a brothel next door - Kum-foo.\n\n## FOURTH DAY\n\nWednesday, 2d June, 1858, at 12 Noon.\n\nPresent - All the Members.\n\n## MAK AFOOK\n\nCalled and examined.\n\nI have been agent in collecting rents for several individuals - Machin Tsing, Leung Ashing, and formerly Mr. Caldwell. I acted as agent for Mr. Caldwell up till the 17th December last, commencing from the 2nd July, 1856. I do not know that he is the owner. I do not know the lots, but I only collected for 22 houses for Mr. Caldwell.\n\n## LRE AH HO\n\nCalled and examined.\n\nHouse 518, lot 206, brothel 77. Kept the house 2 months - have no rent book. Pay $20 per month - took the house from Achew. Pay him the rent - do not know if he is an agent. Some repairs were effected by Achew after the fire. Do not know Lum-Ateen - know Mr. Caldwell - have seen him pass by; he has never been inside the house while I had it.\n\n## HO AH MOEY\n\nCalled and examined.\n\nHouse 519, brothel 76, lot 206. Brothel keeper - I have lived there since 19th December last year; took the house from Lum Ah-teen at $24 per month rent - pay rent to Lum Ateen. Pay it at Lum Ateen's house to Achew or to Assow (Road Overseer). Have no rent book or receipt. Some repairs were effected after the fire. Ah Chu and Assow got them done. I recognize Mr. Caldwell - have seldom seen him - have seen him inspecting streets; he has never inspected my house - do not know if he owns my house.\n\n## LOW AH FONG\n\nCalled and examined.\n\nHave no license; live in the upper part of house 520, lot 206 - am not a brothel keeper; rent the upper story - do not know who rents the lower part. Have lived there since December. The lower tenants are new arrivals. Sell fruit and vegetables. Pay $6 a-month rent. The agents collect the rent at my house - Achew is the collector. Do not know whether it is his house or not. Have heard of Mr. Caldwell - do not know him; have never seen him before. Have seen Mr. Lyons about my neighbourhood taking notes. Have had no conversation with him yesterday, nor through an interpreter. Did not tell a lookong that Mr. Caldwell was the owner of my house.\n\nI have a book of rents collected from the tenants.\n\nI collected rents for Mr. Caldwell on 22 houses by contract, paying him $85 per month - and I collected rent on 3 houses, paying him the same direct. One was $25, one was $22, and one was $20. At the time when I was collecting, there were no brothels, but there is one now.\n\nI have known Lum Ateen since last year when I commenced collecting rents for him; before that time, I had seen him, but had had no dealings with him. In the 9th moon of last year, Caldwell told me that he was going to keep back one house as a hospital, and in the 10th moon that I was to collect all the rents, as he would no longer own them in the 11th moon. Mr. Caldwell said that some person wanted the house for a hospital. When Mr. Caldwell told me about the house which was to be occupied as a hospital, I understood that I was no longer to collect the rent of it. It was Mr. Caldwell who, in the beginning, appointed me to collect the rents. On the 17th December, Mr. Caldwell said he would recommend me to Lum Ateen, who would perhaps employ me.\n\nI have continued to collect the rents of 10 of the houses as agent for Lum Ateen; for eight of them, I contract to pay $55, and the rents of the other two are $20 and $22, as already stated, which is paid to Lum Ateen. Lum Ateen collects the rent of the other twelve through his own men. I know that Lum Ateen bought the 10 houses from Mr. Caldwell. I know that the fifteen houses were sold at auction to Mr. Woods. I am certain that I contract for eight of the houses and pay $55 for them. I do not know Chew Alai, but have heard her name. I have contracted for the eight houses from the 17th December. Seven of the houses are taken at $30 a month, and one at $25. I do not pay the Ground-rent; I believe Lum Ateen does.\n\nI was at Low-ah-fong's house yesterday when he was with Mr. Lyons. I asked her the Number of her house and to whom did she pay house rent; some said house rent was paid to Lum Ateen, some to Chew, some to Cheong Assow, some to Lai Sze-kai; some said they paid rent to Sam-kwei - Mr. Caldwell; Low-ah-fong said that she paid rent to Mr. Caldwell; several people said that they paid it to Mr. Caldwell, but I only recollect this woman.\n\n## AH HEEM, Lookong\n\nCalled and examined.\n\nMr...",

Pay $6 a-month rent. The agents col- pay $55 for them. I do not know Chew Alai, but have I have contracted for the eight houses lect the rent at my house,-Achew is the collector. Do heard her name. not know whether it is his house or not. Have heard of from the 17th December. Seven of the houses are taken Mr Caldwell-do not know him; have never seen him be- at $30 a month, and one at $25. I do not pay the Ground- fore. Have seen Mr Lyons about my neighbourhood tak-rent; I believe Lum Ateen does. I have known Lam ing notes. Have had no conversation with him yesterday, Ateen only since last year, when I commenced collecting nor through an interpreter. Did not tell a lookong that Mr rents for him; before that time I had seen him, but had\n\nhouse. of Caldwell was the owner my\n\nAH HEEM, Lookong,- Called and examined. Was at Low-ali-fong's house yesterday when he was with Mr Lyons. I asked her the Number of her house and to whom did she paid house rent; some said house rent was paid to Lum Ateen, some to Achew, some to Cheong Assow, some to Lai Sze-kai; some said they paid rent to Sam-kwei-Mr Caldwell; Low-ah-fong said that she paid rent to Mr Caldwell; several people said that they paid it to Mr Caldwell, but I only recollect this woman.\n\nhad no dealings with him. In the 9th moon of last year, Mr Caldwell told me that he was going to keep back one house as a hospital, and in the 10th moon that I was to collect all the rents, as he would no longer own them in the 11th moon. Mr Caldwell said that some person wanted the house for a hospital. When Mr Caldwell told me about the house which was to be occupied as a hospital, I understood that I was no longer to collect the rent of it. It was Mr Caldwell who, in the beginning, appointed me to collect the rents. On the 17th December, Mr Caldwell said he would recommend me to Lum Ateen, who would",

        "content_text": "July 11th. Having left the anchorage off the Pei-ho, on the 11th instant, to visit the American Commodore on the U. S. S. \"Powhatan,\" he informed us that he had heard from a low, but credible source (probably Christian Chinese, as he had 3 Missionaries on board), that there were 12 European prisoners at Tien-tsin, well treated.\n\nIf true, these must be wounded, picked up on the mud on the morning of the 26th.\n\nHe promised, should they go to Pekin, to endeavour to procure their release.\n\nHe told us that the mouth of the northern river, up which the Chinese intended us to go, was strongly fortified, not so much as at Tung-koo, but sufficiently so to render a passage impracticable. The nature of the forts, the river, soundings, bar, &c., all are similar to those at the \"Pei-ho.\"\n\nJuly 14th.-Arrived at the town called on the chart \"Che-foo.\"\n\nWere told the proper name is \"Yen-tai,\" in the township of \"Foo-shan\" and district of \"Peng-choo-foo.\"\n\nWe found here 3 or 4 English vessels, and a number of Siamese, also great numbers of junks.\n\nOur vessels had opium and piece-goods for sale. The others principally sugar; after selling which they fill up with corn, beans, &c., to take south.\n\n\"Yen-tai,\" in \"Miao-tao\" straits.\n\nThe town is small, but well built, close to the sea-side, without a wall, and comprised within a rectangle of about 600 yards by 400. The houses of masonry and sun-burnt blue brick, tiled or thatched.\n\nThe mode of tiling is as follows:\n\nThe rafters are strong, and about 10 feet apart, with purlins crossing them about every 5 or 6 feet; over them are laid fascines, composed each of about 6 or 8 reeds as thick as a man's finger. When laid, these are plastered over, and the tiles are laid over all.\n\nEvery house is provided with windows closed by shutters. Small coal was to be seen, but it is only used for smith's work, &c. In the winter, the people content themselves with heaping on clothes instead of having fires.\n\nGreat quantities of mules and donkeys are seen here. They are all shod.\n\nThere appears to be a considerable inland trade, as strings of these animals are continually passing in and out of the town.\n\nA few sheep may be bought here at about 1500 to 2000 cash each. Fowls 10 for a dollar, and eggs 100 for a dollar. Vegetables in great quantities; also apples, pears, peaches, apricots, pomegranates, &c.\n\nThe inhabitants say they have no bullocks beyond the number necessary for tilling the ground, and are of course unwilling to sell them.\n\nThe price of a mule is about 30,000 (30$.) They are very sleek and well-cared for.\n\nPAGE 354\n\n \nPAGE 16\n\n16\n\nPAGE 17\n\n17\n\nPAGE 18\n\n18\n\nPAGE 19\n\n19\n\n19\n\nPAGE 20\n\n10\n\n5\n\nJournal of Captain Fisher, &c.\n\n354",

Apparently great numbers are used here.\n\nInhabitants were very civil.\n\nThe harbour of Chee-foo is entered from the N. E. The mainland is connected by means of a bar of sand, with a piece of high land looking like an island, which fronts the town and forms a bay. To the S. E. this bay is protected by rocks, apparently a long reef, on the S, E, side of which is another anchorage. The bay is about 5 miles across, and rather more in length. There is room for a great number of vessels to lie in about 4-4 fathoms.\n\nThe rise and fall of tide is about 7 feet.\n\nThe water is said to be about 4 feet lower during the N. E. monsoon than the S. W.\n\nIn February, 1859, when the Solomon family arrived here, the thermometer was at about 12° Fahrenheit at night, and there was ice round the shore for about 40 yards; also a thin crust sometimes round the ship in the morning. The northerly winds were very cold.\n\nTo the east of the town a rocky promontory projects into the sea, and on the point is a small shore fort, with spears existing only as paintings on the walls.\n\nAt low tide, the beach in front of the town cannot be approached within 300 yards; but one can land on this promontory at all times of the tide, taking care to avoid the rocks, which are numerous.\n\nThere is a chain of hills running nearly east and west, about 3 miles to the south of the town, and about 1200 feet high.\n\nThey are of granite. The flat ground is sandy and very dry—highly cultivated.\n\nThe roads are dry and good.\n\nThere is a stream running down near the town; but at this season dry. It evidently carries off a considerable quantity of water during the rainy season.\n\nThere is good water to be procured from wells, though those near the beach are brackish. There is also a spring at a green spot to the west of the town.\n\nOn the high projecting land, to the north of the bay, are two villages and a small tower battlemented to protect the eastern one.\n\nThis place being only connected with the mainland by a spit of sand, might be rendered impregnable by a small force, aided by a couple of vessels, though it would not be such a pleasant position as the ground in rear of the city.\n\nThere are wells here; but no streams, except in wet weather.\n\nAfter crossing the range of hills described above, there is a plain of about 6 miles wide, and then another similar range, behind that another range could be seen, and probably beyond that is the sea, forming the southern boundary of the \"Shan-tung\" promontory. These hills extend also to the west to near \"Ting-choo-foo.\"\n\nThe harbour is undoubtedly a good one, and I think would form a very good northern point of rendezvouz, and Commissariat or Hospital Station.\n\nAny large ship would lay better here than at the Pei-ho anchorage, and yet be within 200 miles of that river.\n\nThe climate appears very good.\n\nEven at this time of year the heat is by no means oppressive; cool winds are even blowing from the south. The soil is dry and sandy, and the vegetables good.\n\nThere are said to be quantities of cattle on the Min-too islands.\n\nAbout Half a mile in rear, or to the south of \"Che-foo,\" is an old town, with the ruins of a wall surrounding it, with four gates about the old portion remaining in a state of preservation.\n\nThe ground behind this place and the more modern town being flat and low, leads one to imagine that the old one was originally on the coast line, and that the sea has receded.\n\nRussians and\n\nA strange rumour, and entirely of Chinese origin, existed here on our arrival, that 3000 Russians were at the Pei-ho, and, farther, that 500 more were expected to come down to \"Che-foo.\" A very curious confirmation of our suspicious. It is needless to say that our ideas on the subject had nothing to do with this report.\n\nJuly 18th.—Sailed from \"Chee-foo\" at 9 A.M., and reached Teng-choo-foo at 5 P.M., distant about 36 miles W.\n\nWent on shore; landed outside the city on a rough jetty, at the mouth of a sort of inner harbour or dock the Chinese have formed. We ascended the wall, which is very old, by a breach, and were met by a number of people. We attempted to walk round the top of the walls, but were rudely prevented. We stated that we wished to see the Mandarin, but no one would tell us his name nor where he lived, but directed us to a different and rather distant part of the wall, and said we must go along outside the wall we were then on, and enter by a gate which they pointed out.\n\nSo we descended the breach and found that there were two distinct walled cities. The one we had entered being the smaller, and very old, the walls much out of repair and breached certainly in two places.\n\nHaving got outside the wall, we walked towards the larger city, up what appeared a road, but in reality was a dry bed of a stream. Near the S. end of the N. western city a bridge of 3 arches spanned this stream; the road passing over the bridge came down from the west and led between the two cities. Getting in this road we turned to the left, and entered the city by its N. Gate, which was very large, and constructed like all their city gates. The walls were here in good repair, and, I think, not less than 35 feet high.\n\nOn entering the city we were surrounded by very great crowds. There were only 4 of us, all unarmed, and my Chinese servant. He overheard a discussion between two Chinese as to the propriety of their taking and imprisoning us. We did not like, at so late an hour in the evening (about 7 P.M.), leaving the city gates between us and the ship, so we left a message with a respectable looking man to be delivered to the Magistrate, saying that we intended calling on him to arrange about the purchase of stores, but were unable to do so from not knowing his house, and from the lateness of the hour. We then went out through the gates and returned on board.\n\nJuly 19th.—Wrote a letter to the Mandarin to the same effect as the message we delivered. The interpreter who took it on shore was jeered at by the people, who cautioned one another to have nothing to do with it.\n\nHowever, he threw it among them and returned. We were, however, quite sure the Mandarin would get it sooner or later, and, accordingly, next day, a man came on board to inquire how many bullocks or sheep we wanted,",

We bought 6 fine sheep on shore at 24 dollars each.\n\nI took a walk with Captain Bythesca and 4 Sappers, all armed with revolvers under our coats, and went to the west of the city, opposite the West Gate.\n\nOn this side, as well as on the south, the whole town is completely commanded by hills, sloping down to the walls. On the south, the city wall runs a little way up the hill, and this portion of the interior space is not built over. The city contained many large buildings, but apparently very many are in ruins.\n\nThere is a large yellow-roofed Yamun, in good repair however, near the S. W. angle. There is also an old ruined building near the N. Gate, much like the 5-storied Pagoda at Canton. There are, as usual, very fine trees in the town. The East Gate appears in bad repair; the others all good. That at the south is of a curious blue colour.\n\nThere appears to be a portion of the interior of the city contained within an inner wall, near the S.W. angle, probably the grounds of the yellow-roofed Yamun. This colour designating a building enjoying imperial favour.\n\nThe walls appear to be about 4 miles round.\n\nThe ground outside the walls is all open and sandy. There are occasional narrow gullies through which the surface water is carried off, but the country is perfectly practicable for anything.\n\nThere is no supply of water except from wells. This water appears good, and from the porous nature of the upper stratum, I should imagine there must be abundance of water in the wells. What we tasted out of one was very good and cold. We saw sheep and bullocks. I think but few of the latter would be obtainable, as the Chinese only rear them for labouring purposes.\n\nBeans, peas, and corn are grown here.\n\nThere appears no trade going on, scarcely a junk to be seen; a good many mules and ponies on the hills, but hardly any life outside the city.\n\nThere is an excellent bay for landing to the west of the town, but no harbour for ships.\n\nDuring a southerly wind they are safe, but a north wind would be dangerous, as the headlands are very rocky. There is also an extensive spit running out for a distance of a mile from the shore to the east of the town.\n\nThis place does not present so good a situation for occupation as \"Chec-foo,\" but it is easy of capture, and being evidently a city of ancient importance, its capture in these regions might have a beneficial effect, and having got into it we might refrain from spoiling it on the production by the Mandarins of a plentiful supply of cattle for our troops, on receipt of which we might move off.\n\nRise and fall of tide, 5 feet.\n\nThe weather was very pleasant whilst at Teng-choo-foo, except on the 20th, when there was a strong very hot southerly wind. Thermometer up to 89°, and barometer 29'6. Violent thunderstorm and heavy rain succeeded at 6 P.M. which lasted near two hours.\n\nNext day the wind shifted to the north and fell light. Sailed at 2 p.m. 21st July.\n\nReached \"To-kee,\" one of the \"Mia-tao\" Islands, about 2 P.M. 22nd July. We had been told there were plenty of bullocks here. The gun-boats had been sent on here to water. There is a good well on the S. of the island.\n\nLanded and said we wished to purchase bullocks.\n\nThey gave the usual answer that they had none, on which we hinted that if in the course of our walking over the island we should happen to meet with any cattle, they could of course have no objection to our catching them. They immediately asked how many we wanted, and offered to bring us off eight and some vegetables.\n\nOn the 23rd we walked over a great part of the island, but saw none, nor was there any pasturage for any number of cattle. The only animals we saw were donkeys.\n\nOn one of the gun-boats applying for cattle, they brought off a donkey in a boat for them.\n\nThe island has a sandy soil, and is high.\n\nThe rains are carried off by gullies cut out deeply in the loose soil, and quite dry now. I imagine the water all runs off immediately. The island grows Indian corn, wheat, peas, and beans. It is about 7 miles round.\n\nThe natives brought off 7 bullocks first and later 4 more, for which we paid eight dollars each, or about 3d. a pound. The people were civil, but did not like us to enter the villages.\n\nSailed from \"To-kee\" at daylight on 24th July. Wet morning. Barometer 29.84; thermometer 75°. Very cool.\n\nJuly 26th.-Arrived off the Great Wall and pulled to the shore. Asked for fresh provisions. Two blue-buttoned Mandarins came down to the beach and asked what we were doing up here. We said we had sick on board, and were cruising to avoid the hot weather. We asked after the head Mandarin, but they told us he was a man sent up by the Commissioner at \"Tung-koo” (at the mouth of the \"Pei-ho\"), that he would not see us, and if we had anything to say we had better go down there to say it. They said their orders were to treat us as friends, but not to allow us to land.\n\nJuly 27th.-Sketched outline of hills. Boats sounded.\n\nWent on shore and saw the same Mandarins. They promised to let us have what provisions they could spare next day. Saw several of the Tartar Cavalry. They are mostly armed with a sword and a matchlock, which they charge with ten slugs. Their powder is very coarse.\n\nThe ponies much the same as at Canton; some rather better. Other Tartars had spears, and some bows and arrows; but I did not see these close.\n\nOne officer had a European sword with steel scabbard. We asked to be allowed to walk on the wall, but they would not hear of it.\n\nJuly 28th. The \"Starling\" having arrived, signalled her to anchor in a position indicated, as also the \"Forester.\"\n\nTook bearings, and got distances by sound and flash of gun, and laid down positions; took angles.\n\n29th. Surveyed coast line for 9 miles, and plotted in work.\n\nDescription of \"Ning-hae.\"\n\nNing-hae is the name of the city near which the Great Wall runs down to the sea. It is retired about 2 miles from the beach, and is situated on an extensive undulating plain of sandy soil, highly cultivated. The plain appears",

The portion containing the two right guns is thrown back so as to direct their fire on the left of the southern fort. No guns were mounted on the mounds, and the lower shutters were shut. The forts did not appear to be manned.\n\nIt is requested that in any further communication on this subject, the Number and Date of this Letter may be quoted; and that the communication may be addressed to \"STORES.\"\n\nThe Under Secretary of State,\n\nWar Office, Pall Mall, S.W.\n\nNo.\n\nupon the\n\nDoug Hous\n\nSeptember 5th.—Proceeded in a N.E. direction until we closed \"Sha-lin-tien\" banks. Landed at a very poor village, being attracted by two batteries which, through the mirage, looked imposing, but were very insignificant. The country is flat and desert; utterly unprofitable in every way. People poor, living only on fish; they have to go 12 miles to get fresh water to drink.\n\nNoticed the construction of these batteries, which is probably that of the more complete ones. The foundation was of large stones and piles up to above high-water level, and the mounds of earth rammed with a layer of coarse reeds at about every 2 feet. It appears to form a solid compact mass.\n\nThe \"Sha-lin-tien\" Bank, which is well known, extends to a great distance into the sea; but we ascertained that there is not any good channel between it and the mainland. Junks pass through in considerable numbers to fish, but the whole space is composed of shoals and banks; many of them dry at low water.\n\nIt is not easy to determine where the mainland commences. The tract of country inside appears to be barren and poor in the extreme.\n\nNorthwards of the \"Peh-tang-ho,\" and southwards of the \"Ching-ho,\" there is no spot that could be of any service to us in any way.\n\nSeptember 7—Sent one of the gun-boats to sound the N. of the \"Sha-lin-tien,\" and went down to \"Che-kaon\" for the same purpose; returned to \"Shah-lin-tien\" the same evening, and sailed for \"Ting-choo-foo,\" having completed the survey.\n\nG\n\n\"Ting-choo-foo.\"\n\n\"Che-foo.\"\n\n8th. Arrived at \"Ting-choo-foo,\" and went on shore; walked through the outer city, and found the people very civil. Grapes, pears, &c., were in abundance.\n\nSeptember 9th.—Landed at \"Che-foo\" to get flour, sugar, and water. Found that the natives charged as much for bringing it off as would be the cost of condensing. So having laid in flour, sugar, and vegetables, sailed for \"Shanghai.\"\n\nA. C.

On the day preceding I received from the said San-qui one--On the 27th of the same month seven, and on the 24th-two. \n\nBut of the thirty five here specified I can state of my own knowledge that not one was of the 45 brought from Hongkong before referred to. \n\nAnd I further solemnly declare and state that some time in the said month of December 1859, being in Hongkong, I heard that over a hundred men were in a hong on the sea side at the west of Victoria, and thinking that these men might be desirous of entering into a labour contract to go to Havana, I called at the said Hong and found 40 or 50 Coolees, who one and all declined, through the Interpreter with me, to go to Havana. Shortly afterwards I heard, in Macau, that these coolees had come to Macao when I again enquired if they would go to Havana, and was then told that some of them had gone to the hong of Mr. Beuzant, but none of them were engaged for me to go in the Emilie Pireire or any other ship under my agency. And the names and native places of the coolees supplied to me by Sam-qui from the Sun fook tie hong aforesaid, on the days mentioned were as follow:-all of the said places from which these coolees came being on the west coast of China, or here about,--not on the East coast according to what would be correct descriptions of places about Kap-chee. \n\n### Names and native places of certain coolees received from Sam-qui, for the Emilie Pireire.— \n\n| Date | No. | Name | Age | Native Place |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 24th December 1859 | 230 | Lun A sam | 30 | Chan-sian |\n| 24th December 1859 | 231 | Siu A foo | 22 | Pun-hy |\n| 27th December 1859 | 232 | Chuo Ajom | 24 | Ton-cun |\n| 31st December 1859 | 346 | Hip Atun |  |  |\n| 31st December 1859 | 347 | Tan Ahi |  |  |\n| 31st December 1859 | 348 | Chao Apoo | 1 | Ton-cun |\n| 31st December 1859 | 349 | Chao Apat | 30 | Tim-pac |\n| 31st December 1859 | 350 | Choi Asan | 30 |  |\n| 31st December 1859 | 351 | Lopien bien | 35 |  |\n| 31st December 1859 | 352 | Choi Apuu | 25 |  |\n| 31st December 1859 | 353 | Tom Atun | 32 |  |\n| 31st December 1859 | 354 | Chou Aquae |  |  |\n| 31st December 1859 | 355 | Tu Apun | 32 | Tim pac.

Informant's son (a seaman) and a passenger were slightly wounded. The pirates then closed alongside and threw informant's son and the passenger down into the fishing boats. On the morning of the 19th instant informant and his crew hearing no footsteps on deck broke the hatches and were carried away by the pirates at anchor. The pirates drew the junk away and one of the fishing boats towed his junk off. The name of one of the pirates, formerly of his crew, was Ah Boo.

There were men lying like dogs together in their own filth with no one look after then, crying for water, and could not obtain any; in a place where no attention was paid to the sex of the patients, or to the dividing off of various diseases, and where no attempt whatever at decency was \n\nNext the Jury would have to 'consider how deceased died. Dr Cochran had said it was jaundice, and had given it as bis opinion that he was unable to say' whether his death was or was not acceler hted by the treatment described by the witnesses. There would therefore be a very dict of natural death, as jaundice was na tural. But the Jury would not be doing. all their duty if they merely recorded therr; interest in this subject-no inquiry had ereated so much interest for many a day-- and the Jury, as representing the public, would he hope become the public mouth piece. He would not dictate to them what the record of their opinion regarding emi- gration would be; but he would say that it would have to be in very strong terus ere be dissented from it. If Mr Caldwell was. fin future the conductor of the emigration system, he was sure that the abuses\" which had been before the Jury would not last- they would certainly be done away with. But if the Jury recorded their opinion of the subject, it would serve as a guarantee bat such a state of things would not occur again, \n\nnctions; which order was meant to pre- vent infection. I expected them to be treated in the same way as I had seen others treated ten years ago, when I used to go to the place; and certainly never expected for a moment to find the state of things described by Mr Lister. Never expected to find the patients looked after very partien- larly as to their personal cleanliness, as some do not even have any change of clothing, aud are naturally dirty.

From a commercial code, derived from European systems of commercial law, to a civil and criminal code, such as has been long adopted in Turkey and this obtained, international Courts for mixed cases, there is but a short step. For its administration with fixed rules of procedure, such as are now in contemplation for Egypt by common consent, will follow in natural course, and prepare the way for either the modification or total abolition of extraterritorial rights in China, and the gradual assimilation of two races in their laws and administration. This will remove, at the same time, one of the greatest obstacles to improved relations with the Chinese Government, and more free access to the interior.\n\n## \n\n13. Coal-mines are to be opened at Kien-yung, in Che-kiang, Lo-ping, on the Poyang Lake, and Kelung, in Formosa, with an understanding that they shall be efficiently worked, with the aid of foreign skill and machinery.\n\n14. Two new ports are to be opened -- Wen-chow, in exchange for Kiung-chow, in Hainan, which has never been thought worth opening; and Wuhu, on the Yang-tsze, between Chin-kiang and Kiu-kiang.\n\nThe first is equivalent to subsidizing a line of steamers between Foo-chow and Shanghae, both of which places desire a rapid and regular communication. It will also afford a ready exit for a kind of tea that reaches Foo-chow only after a long, circuitous, and expensive route; and it is the port of a comparatively wealthy and populous district.\n\nThe latter port is more especially valuable in connection with the arrangements made for the collection of the transit dues at the port of entry, as it adds the Province of Anhui to the other eight maritime provinces, in which foreign textile fabrics are to pass free without any transit pass.\n\n15. The right of transhipment at Hong Kong for the Chinese ports, so much desired by the British and foreign merchants, has been conceded.\n\n16. A rule has been framed, by which vessels trading to Batavia, Bangkok, Singapore, Malacca, and Penang, will share the privilege of only paying tonnage dues once every four months, now limited to vessels going to Japan, the Amour, Hong Kong, Manilla, and Saigon.\n\n## 11 \n\n17. It is agreed that the Customs shall draw up rules fixing the touch of sycee to be received on the payment of duties, by the bank, at each port, and thus determine in some definite manner, in the absence of coinage, what relation local sycee bears to the Customs standard.\n\nThese are the chief concessions on the Chinese side; in return for which, additional rights and privileges beyond what has been secured by any antecedent Treaty, neither few nor unimportant, in my conception, it has been agreed that the following changes of Tariff, &c., shall take place:-\n\n1. An increased rate of duty on opium and silk. On the first an increase from 30 to 50 taels per 100 catties, equivalent to an increase of 24 per cent, ad valorem. On silk, raw and thrown, a duty of 20 taels per 100 catties; on yellow silk from Szechuen 10 taels; making an increase of a little over 1 per cent, on both kinds (say 14), both still being taxed somewhat under the general scale adopted on the signature of the Treaties, of 5 per cent. ad valorem.\n\nIn both articles, opium and silk, considering their high value, so small an increase of duty is unlikely to diminish, by a single ounce, or in any sensible degree, the profits of those who deal in them.\n\n2. Passports and transit papers are to be valid only for twelve months, and to be returned within thirteen. This merely gives authority for what has already been practised.\n\n3. The right is conceded to China of appointing Consuls in the British dominions.\n\n4. British merchant-vessels shall report to the Customs their port of destination, and shall hand in export manifests when about to clear. The Treaty had not provided for this; and there is no reason for refusing it, as it entails no sacrifice on the merchant.\n\nThe principal points of the Convention, to which will be annexed supplementary rules and Tariff, as affecting the articles named, either for reduction or increase, have now been passed in review. Considering how much has been conceded by the Chinese, and how few and unimportant the changes which they have insisted upon in return, either on grounds of reciprocity, or expediency, I think it is a subject for congratulation that they have been so moderate in their demands, and rested content with so much less than they are well known to desire.\n\nIt is very true, that the utmost to be obtained from their concessions falls very far short of the demands and wishes of the Memorialists. Steam navigation on the inland waters, railroads, and telegraphs, rights of domicile inland, and the working of mines by foreigners, have all been refused as impracticable or inexpedient at present; and Her Majesty's Government have concurred in this view, and withdrawn all demands for any one of them. At the same time, several of the concessions made, tend in this direction, and, if used judiciously, will certainly prepare the way, at no distant period, for farther progress. I think that it is from this point of view their value will be most fairly tested.\n\nOn the other side, if we bear in mind the undisguised desire of the high authorities and of the whole body of educated Chinese, including the literati and gentry as well as the officials of every grade throughout the provinces for the restriction of foreign intercourse to the sea-board, if not, indeed, to a single port, as of old, and the withdrawal of any privileges which would only have been extorted at the cannon's mouth, and by superior force, I think they deserve some credit for their moderation during the present negotiations. The Tsungli Yamên did not indeed disguise their dislike to all the phases of extraterritoriality, the domiciliation of missionaries in the interior, the importation of opium, and the appointment of merchant Consuls; yet they have not pressed demands on any of these points, or sought to make concessions a condition of revision.\n\nA right to appoint Consuls, which they may be very slow to exercise, and a trifling increase of duties on two articles that may yield them some additional Customs revenue, is about the sum of what they have rested content with. That these are neither unreasonable, nor in any sense inequitable, must, I think, be freely admitted; and I confess to a conviction that few European Governments would have contented themselves with so little in the revision of a Treaty containing much that was objectionable to them, more especially when expected to concede still more to the foreigner's advantage.\n\nI shall be glad if you and my other colleagues concur in this view, which, in any case, I felt it to be due to all parties to submit, frankly and freely, for your appreciation.\n\nAfter devoting the best part of two years to the discussion of the various questions at issue, and the endeavour, by friendly negotiations, to bring the Tsungli Yamên to see the expediency of changes favourable to the progress of trade and less restricted intercourse, I can only trust that, upon a review of the whole, the balance of advantages will appear to you, and to my other colleagues, such as to recommend the Convention for general acceptance.\n\nYou will, no doubt, hear from the Tsungli Yamên, and be invited to co-operate to that end, as soon as the instrument shall have been signed by the Prince of Kung and myself, it having been agreed that the High Contracting Parties shall mutually invite each of the Treaty Powers to promote, by their adhesion, its being speedily carried into execution.\n\nI avail, &c.\n\n**(Translation.)**\n\n(Signed) \n\n## Inclosure 3.\n\n**RUTHERFORD ALCOCK.**\n\nThe Tsungli Yamen to Sir R. Alcock.\n\nOctober 23, 1869.\n\nTHE Prince of Kung, Pao, President of the Board of Revenue; Tan, President of the Board of Punishment; Wên, President of the Board of Civil Office; Tung, President of the Board of Revenue; and Chung, President of the Colonial Office, make a communication.\n\nIt is distinctly stipulated in the XVIth Article that the ratification of Convention this day signed shall be exchanged in Peking.\n\nIt is also understood that effect shall not be given to the several Articles except with mutual consent, until a common understanding with the other Treaty Powers has been come to, that their respective subjects in becoming entitled to the rights and advantages therein conceded to British subjects, shall in like manner as these be bound by the conditions thereto attaching. And to promote this end, with the least possible delay, it has been agreed that each of the High Contracting Parties shall communicate the Convention to the other Powers, and invite their adhesion to its terms and conditions.\n\nPage 291 \nPage [70]",

        "content_text": "# SUPPLEMENT TO THE OVERLAND CHINA MAIL, SEPTEMBER 26, 1874.\n\n## LATEST FROM CANTON\n\nSeptember 26th. I hear of loss of life already among the natives. The Japanese have made an honourable withdrawal of their troops. They only desire now that the Chinese Government should deplore that they have given cause that led the Japanese to send their soldiers here, and then they would take away their troops. I don't think the Chinese will agree to this declaration, as it is nothing less than an acknowledgment of the illegality of the Japanese proceedings. They know they can fight now and don't care what turn the negotiations may take.\n\nThe French civil engineers had stopped a few days ago to superintend the erection of a fort at Amping. It is to cost a good sum of taels, something touching $100,000, besides...\n\nIt must be remembered that the force of the storm was such as to tear up trees by the roots; and telegraph poles would not be very much more. Our belief is, that at the departure of the last mail from Shanghai, everything was in exactly the same state of uncertainty as before. Two Chinese passengers around The Felony gun-boat, Capt. Wright, were drowned that there was a prospect of a mutually satisfactory arrangement being arrived at.\n\nThe foreign newspapers did not confirm this, and there is no doubt whatever of all lives lost but Mr Heather, the gunner, on board. We got the tag of rigorous preparations on the Yangtze river.\n\nThe United States Janillary rigour is exhibited man, out of the typhoon here. It did some damage to trees and houses.\n\nWe are of opinion that the rumour mentioned above has arisen, either from witnessing the energy on both sides; or by the invariable tendency of rumour to gather in as it goes. As to the government forbidding telegrams to be forwarded, it is absurd. If they wished to stop communications, they surely know how to effect it within a few hours, not by such a foolish order. There is such a gathering of rumours touching peace or war. We must wait until the next steamer arrives from Shanghai or Nagasaki, and advise our friends to be undisturbed by any more rumours.\n\n## JAPAN\n\nThe desolation the town now reached its depth. The crash of falling houses, the screaming of the victims, people running to and fro in the utmost consternation; but can get no particulars yet. The roar of the wind and of the rain, all this was something awful to hear or see. Suddenly an ominous glare appeared in the heavens. Fires had broken out in different parts of the town, and the flames, whipped on by the gales, rushed in horizontal streams over the largest masses, devouring the buildings that stood even at great distances in their direction. The loud reverberation of these fires striking from the flying clouds on the sky was repeated by the waters which invaded the doomed town in every direction. On this occasion the loss of life was fearful. People had only to shun their death by water, tree, or the shock of falling buildings.\n\nLast month, a hail-storm passed over Nikko, Yonezawa, and the neighbouring country, and several people were hurt by the bad stones. An old man, between 20 and 30 years of age, said he had never seen such large ones; some of them measured 7 inches in circumference. Several persons who put up native umbrellas against the storm had them broken to pieces. At last daylight dawned on this terrible scene.\n\nIt seemed a dream, an enormous negation, awful to relate, but there it was; in this dire destructive Macao was not to be recognised; the waves sprang like infuriated lions on the ruined buildings and it seemed uncertain if the very ground had not gone down. By this time the barometer was already rising, but as soon as the first light appeared in the heavens, His Excellency, the Governor, the noble and brave Viscount S. Januario, went out with his staff and a body of troops to bring help where needed. The robbers who began to assail and plunder the ruined houses were energetically put down. It is a most remarkable occurrence that to this moment a very insignificant looting has taken place.\n\nThe Governor, with Mr Cunha of the public works department, after tremendous heroic efforts extinguished the fires. Mr Canha was severely wounded in the head on this occasion. While this was going on, a body of soldiers with Mr R. Sampaio, a naval officer, A.D.C. to the Governor, and Mr Menier were saving life on the sea.\n\nAs tea is one of the principal, and also one of the most valuable, exports of Japan, care should be taken to prevent fraud in its preparation for market.\n\nTOKOHINA\n\nWe received the following interesting telegram on Saturday (the 5th), but too late for publication in last issue— \"Satsuma men have offered to equip, send to the war (against China), and support, eighteen thousand (18,000) troops, at their own expense.\"—Gazette.\n\nXIGATA\n\nDuring the typhoon at Niigata on last night, eleven persons were killed.—Gazette.\n\nJinrikishas have come into general use, made here.—Ibid.\n\nDuring cannon practice, at Tsukuda jims, Tokei, on the 29th ulto, one of the guns burst, the fragments flying in all directions. The farmers near the river banks who have the numerous pear gardens which abound for miles along each side will be great losers, their trees have been stripped of both leaves and fruit. The value of pears exported from here last year was $60,000.—Ibid.\n\nOne man stripped himself and swam off to save some persons who were drowning. It is believed that the originators of this fraud have been discovered. For the credit of the country it is fortunate they did not succeed in passing off this ink-dyed material.\n\nMr Broitdem of the English navy, who was on the Prais, saved also two children in the same way. The greatest energy and bravery shown by the Portuguese soldiers on this occasion when the fury of the waves made it a very difficult matter and a dangerous one to save life from the wreck.\n\nOn account of the unsettled weather this year, the production of the silk-worms at Yamagata ken and Akita-ken has been very poor; but at Miyagi-ken, and farther south, it has been good. The Fukushima Kencho granted a license allowing the people engaged in the trade to use patent papers for the depositing silkworms eggs; but some fellows infringed the patent and manufactured a lot of papers in hue a colour exactly resembling the genuine ones. The Kencho heard of this, the license was recalled, and the trade is therefore in considerable confusion.—(Fukushima.)\n\nWith the view of adding to its forces the Tokugawa clan...\n\n## LIST OF VESSELS IN HARBOUR\n\nSeptember 2, 1874.\n\n| Vessel | Nationality | From | Remarks |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Queizen Maru | Jap.

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

        "content_text": "THE DAILY PRESS, THURSDAY, MAY 26TH, 1881.\n\nTO THE HONOURABLE WILLIAM KESWICK.\n\nSir—The subscribers to the accompanying testimonial have confided to us the duty of its presentation, and in their names and our own of saying to you a few words of farewell. The numerous signatures appearing in the appended subscription lists, representing every class and race of this community, will afford you the best testimony of the wide-spread appreciation entertained of your public career, but it will not be out of place for us to pass in brief retrospect some of the more eminent services you have rendered the Colony.\n\nChief among these stands the able and straightforward performance of your duties in the Legislative Council, where you have for so many years held a seat. In a Crown Colony the position of an Unofficial Member of this Council is full of discouragement; having no power of initiation, and with the certainty before him of being outvoted if in opposition, his task is limited to criticism of the schemes of the Government. Your labours in this direction have been of the highest importance and utility, and more especially as a guardian of the public purse the attitude you have unflinchingly maintained cannot, we think, be very well over-estimated.\n\nThe little leisure which the pressing responsibilities of a large Mercantile House have left you, you have ungrudgingly bestowed on many other public affairs. As Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce your wide experience and knowledge of business have been of the highest value. The City Hall owes much to your care and attention. Schemes of charity and for the assistance of the poor or friendless have ever found in you a real sympathiser; and there are but few institutions organised in this Colony for humane or charitable purposes that have not profited by your liberal aid and advice.\n\nNot less worthy of mention have been your services to many of those Public Companies with which much the prosperity of the Colony has now become identified. To your power of labour, business capacity, and grasp of detail, these important concerns are in no small degree indebted for the prosperity they enjoy; and it is no slight to others to say that probably to you more prominently than any one else, is due the confidence which joint-stock enterprise now enjoys in the Far East.\n\nWe now beg to bid you farewell, and with every wish for your enjoyment of your well-earned holiday, we remain, your sincere friends,\n\nE.

        "content_text": "## THE CHINA REVIEW.\n\nHe led a horse-boy and went off to the Minister's house to thank him. He was told he was out, but Hsi-chen waited his return, till at last he left his card and left a message for Bee Ya-nei. Ya-nei said, \"I must come to my adopted father's house, when I will bring wine and food.\" Hai-chen declined and returned, and then giving the horse-boy some money, said, \"I want to buy a good horse, but it is difficult to meet with one; you know where there is one?\" The boy said, \"I heard them say to-day that by the North bridge Chen died, he had a capital chestnut horse, called the 'Clothed with thunder,' but his widow being without means to pay his funeral expenses says she wants to sell it. I too have seen it, and it is a rare good one.\" Hai-chen, much startled, said, \"Is it not Chen Ying?\" \"It is him,\" said the boy. Hai-chen sighed and said, \"I know well enough, he was a very fine fellow, skilled in the military art, and not very old, but his family was poor and his wife weak; well, he is dead then. But whether his horse was a good one, I don't know: am I to buy it now or not?\" The horse-boy said, \"I don't know.\" Hsi-chen said, \"You wait a bit till I can go with you.\"\n\nHsi-chen quickly went inside and called out Li-ching to fetch some silver which he put in his breast. He then told the boy to show him the way, and soon arrived at Ying's house near the North bridge; there were only some bare rooms, and all he heard was the wife of Ying crying in solitude inside. Ch'en entered and called to her. The woman dried her eyes and clasping her child to her breast came out and seeing him asked, \"Sir, where are you from, with whom do you want to speak?\" Hsi said, \"My humble name is Ch'en, I am from Great East street; I have well known my elder brother Chen, how is it he is no more?\" The woman said, \"It is most pitiable; why do you, Sir, come to my lonesome dwelling?\" Hsi said, \"I have heard my elder brother had a riding horse, you want to sell; is this so?\" She said, \"Yes.\" Hai-chen said, \"Is he sold yet?\" She said, \"Two days before my late husband's death, he put out a notice, but no buyer has come; some came to look but did not see him, saying the horse was not worth much, and I in anger then had him tied up behind; don't tell anyone I want to sell him.\"\n\nHsi said, \"Your servant really wants to buy and is willing to pay the price, may I not see him?\" She said, \"Come and look at him behind the house.\" The boy was told to wait outside, and Hsi went in with the woman to look; on seeing the horse, he was startled, he only saw he was tied to his manger and with his head down nibbling his hoof. He began to feel his body all over. He then asked why he had been starved till he was so thin. She said, \"When my husband was alive, although he much liked the horse, yet he then could not give him a good feed, and when he got so ill, how could I attend him; hence he has fallen away so.\" Hsi then looked at his mouth. \"How much do you want for him?\" She said, \"I won't deceive you, but the price must suit me, for I am a quiet person and will tell you the truth; when my husband was so ill, he never said anything about the money; all he said was, if one knowing a horse buys him, you must sell him cheaply, but if no one recognises his worth, you must starve him and give him no fodder.\" \n\nA few days ago, someone advised me to sell him for food, when I could get five to seven taels for him, whereupon I sent him off pretty quickly. At present, you, Sir, want to buy him; it is for you, therefore, to say.\" Hsi-chen said, \"You must not be offended at me.\" \"Why should I?\" said she. Hsi-chen, seeing the beast suited him exactly, whispered, \"What do you say to one hundred taels of good silver?\" The woman was startled, \"Is it worth so much?\" she thought, so she tried for a little more and said, \"One hundred taels is rather cheap; please raise the figure a little.\" Hsi-chen said, \"One hundred and twenty taels.\" The woman thought to herself, \"If I don't sell now, he may break off the bargain,\" so she asked, \"What do you want to buy this horse for, Sir?\" \n\n\"I won't deceive you, Ma'am, but I have a Lieutenant in the South camp, he wants to find a horse to suit him, but hearing you had this excellent beast, I am come to purchase him.\" The woman, hearing this, said, \"Well then, you can take him, but I must have good silver.\" Hsi-chen quickly went to a shop opposite and got the silver, 120 taels, and brought and handed it over; he then called the horse-boy to come in to lead the horse out; the woman, having got her money and seeing the horse was being led away, began to think of times when her husband was alive, and was unable to prevent the tears running down her cheeks. Old Hsi-chen was very uncomfortable; but the woman said, \"There is also a saddle, &c., belonging to the horse, won't you buy them too?\" Hsi-chen went to look at them and saw they were torn, and declined them, but told the woman he did not want to annoy her and offered to give more money. He then gave her ten taels in addition; she would not take it and said, \"Your slave is grieved at looking at the things, I am not concerned about the amount of the silver.\" \n\nHsi-chen said, \"I give this to you for Chen's sake, to buy some paper money and offerings for him to put on his grave.\" She then took the ten taels, and told his horse-boy to go and fetch the above and to keep the change. The woman said, \"I will give you the saddle, &c.\" Hsi-chen said, \"I have such at home.\" He then bowed and took his leave; the woman, clasping her child, wished him much happiness and said, \"Sir, sir, a day will come when I shall be able to recompense you.\" Hsi-chen told the boy to lead the horse and follow him. The neighbours, seeing what had been done, would hardly believe it. \"This man is crochety,\" they said, \"to throw away thus one hundred and fifty taels for such a beast; why, horseflesh is only worth fifteen or sixteen taels in the market; the male of Wang's, the corn-grinder, was bought for sixteen taels, and that beast was much stronger than this horse.\" \n\nThe women, in the meanwhile, asked her relations to assist her, and with this money, completed her husband's funeral. Hsi-chen, in the meanwhile, went off with his horse and, turning a corner, looked out for a tea-house, at the door of which he tied up the beast; he then told the boy to go off, as he would lead the animal himself, \"and don't you go and trouble the widow any further.\" The boy then ran off in great delight to his own home. Ch'en took a cup of tea and took a good look at his horse, and then got up and led him off, and after going a little way, turned his head to look. On reaching home, he stopped at the door and then led the horse to the back, where he tied him up to a pillar of the verandah. \n\nHe then called out \"Ching, my child, I have bought that horse.\" Li-ch'ing, on hearing this upstairs, flew down the stairs and hurriedly asked, \"Papa, dear, where is the horse?\" and then, smiling with joy, she came down, and on seeing it, was very much pleased. \"How much silver did you give for him, Papa?\" Hsi-chen said, \"The exact price was one hundred and twenty ounces, but I added thirty more, making a total of one hundred and fifty ounces.\" Li-ch'ing said, \"Cheap, very cheap.\" Hsi-chen said, \"Well, it is not very dear, is it?\" Li-ch'ing said, \"No, no, the Szechuan horse was one hundred ounces, and he, though a good horse, could not compare to this one.\" \"But how old is he?\" Hsi-chen said, \"I have looked, he is about eight years old;\" he then laughed and said, \"he seems to suit you very well; I will go then to the archery ground behind and let him out in order to try your riding powers.\" \n\nLi-ch'ing shook her hand and said, \"He must not be ridden now, he is much too thin; if he is forced to be ridden, he will be damaged; he is not now as good as that Szechuan horse; he must be fed up well and then, after ten days or so, led out a bit, then your child can mount him and go out for a look at him, Papa.\" Hsi-chen laughed and said, \"Why, you would make a capital groom; but it is late; I will lead him to the stables and give him some food.\"",

Over four thousand people took part in the conflict and great slaughter was effected on both sides. The local Magistrate went to the scene personally with some yamen runners to stop the fight, but to no purpose, the villagers taking no notice of him and continuing their fight under his very eyes. The circumstances were reported to the Canton authorities and on the 11th instant Colonel Chong Wai-lum was sent with a number of soldiers to restore order. When the Colonel arrived on the scene the fight was discontinued, but the fighters, being still in a very vindictive spirit, intend to resume hostilities as soon as the soldiers have left the scene.\n\nOn the 10th instant about a thousand robbers under the leadership of Foo Tsan-hoi, An San, and Wau Kan, all well-known robbers, plundered all the houses, big and little, in the market town of Loktsung, in Santak district, where there are in all about three hundred houses. The people of the town had made every preparation to meet the robbers, but as the latter greatly outnumbered them, they were no match for them, so that the robbers were able to carry away the valuables from all the houses. They also burnt some houses. Some days previously to the attack the leaders of the robbers had written to the town demanding a large sum of money under threat of burning and plundering all the shops if the demand was not complied with.\n\nThere are now about ten thousand bad characters banded together under the style of the Sam Tim Society, in the Hingling district, in the prefecture of Kaying. They all reside in the fastness of the mountains and occasionally issue forth to commit robberies or demand money by force in broad daylight. The villagers have had many encounters with them and mostly came off second best, as the robbers generally have a superiority of numbers. A few days ago they made an attack on the city of Hingling, the Magistrate of which, having no sufficient force, was obliged to shut all the city gates to prevent the attack. The Canton authorities have been telegraphed to and a military officer named Mok Shin-chek has been sent with several hundreds of soldiers to cope with the bad characters, who are about to raise the standard of rebellion.\n\nSeveral days ago thirty prisoners made their escape from the prison of the district of Kwai-ain. Twenty of them have been recaptured, but the rest have made good their escape. The superintendent of the gaol has been ordered to go to Canton for trial on account of his neglect of duty.\n\nOn the 10th instant a junk heavily laden with silk valued at about four thousand dollars was despatched from Patlai for Canton. When she was sailing near Samshui, on the West River, nine boats carrying robbers rowed up to her and carried away all the silk from her. The robbers did not molest the passengers nor plunder their luggage.\n\nPage 31\n\n \n \n\n \n\n \n\nPage 31",

No time was lost in the despatch of two torpedo boats to the spot, and the Viceroy's Secretaries and other officials were present on board at the enquiry held by me on board the steamship \"Sainam\" immediately on her arrival. I took the opportunity to impress on them most strongly that the eyes of all the foreign Governments would be on His Excellency to observe if this brutal and murderous attack on foreigners, following on a long series of piracies and robberies, was dealt with in a manner calculated to show a desire and\n\na determination on his part to put an end once and for all\n\nto a state of things which is a discredit to his administration. They assured me that His Excellency is thoroughly in earnest and was that day despatching both the Admiral\n\nLi and the Brigadier General Huang with a considerable\n\nforce of foreign-drilled troops and a number of detectives\n\noff to scour the country in the neighbourhood of the place\n\nwhere the pirates disembarked. I urged an attack on the\n\nlarge village of Tai Ping a few miles inland, which is\n\nwell known as the resort of pirates who have a stronghold on a hill close to the village.\n\nToday I have received a letter from the Viceroy\n\nannouncing the capture of two of the band by the River\n\nPolice. Two Hongkong detectives are endeavouring to trace\n\nthe boats used for disembarking, and H.M.S. \"Moorhen\" is\n\nwatching the proceedings of the troops in the neighbourhood\n\nof Tai Ping.

Ch'en Chu Lun replied that he had spoken of the meeting at the former interview, and had asked Mr. Brown to go to P'ing T'an to meet his Excellency Ting, but that Mr. Brown could not assent to this proposal, nor could his Excellency Ting come to Peking, as he had taken up the duties of Provincial Treasurer. Moreover, Mr. Chen said, \"If the Agent-General insists upon opening mines in Shansi, there is no use in my staying here, nor in discussing the question of an interview with his Excellency Ting, because the people of Shansi were firmly set against the Syndicate's opening mines there.\" Mr. Ch'en then mentioned the fact of the original Concessions having been made between the Bureau of Trade and Mr. Luzzatti, upon which Mr. Brown said, \"It is necessary to make plain once for all that Mr. Luzzatti was merely the Agent-General of the Peking Syndicate. He held the same position that I now hold, nothing more.\" Mr. Chen said, \"The people of Shansi claim that the Agreement between the Bureau of Trade and the Peking Syndicate has nothing to do with the Government; that the mineral resources of Shansi belong to the people and were not sold to the Peking Syndicate, the Peking Syndicate being simply asked to develop them on their behalf.\" Mr. Brown said, in reply to this, that it had been recognized throughout the ages in China that the mineral resources of the country belonged to the Government, and Mr. Chen was asked whether or not the fact of the Emperor's having issued an Edict sanctioning the Agreement, and the Tsung-li Yamên's having sealed the same, did not raise the Agreement above that of a simple matter as between the Bureau of Trade and the Peking Syndicate. Mr. Ch'en replied to the effect that the people of Shansi were determined to resist the Syndicate, and if the permit were ordered to be issued the officials would be unwilling to take responsibility in the matter. Mr. Brown said, \"Is the Government in authority over Shansi, or is Shansi independent?\" Mr. Chen replied that Shansi was, of course, under the authority of the Central Government, but that in these times the students and people were so strong as to force the hands of the Government. He also said that the students had written to Shanghae and London legal authorities for advice, and were prepared to enter the Law Courts against the Peking Syndicate. Mr. Brown told Messrs. Ch'en that the Syndicate did not fear such action, and that the only gainers from such a course would be the lawyers. Mr. Ch'en then said that if the matter had been put into the hands of the British Minister and the Wai-wu Pu there was no use in his remaining, and he would request the Agent-General to give him a letter to take back with him to Shansi; but that if proposals for a compromise would be entertained, his Excellency Ting would try his best to shoulder the burden of settling the matter on behalf of the people of Shansi.\n\nMr. Brown asked what proposals his Excellency Ting had to make, and he impressed upon Messrs. Ch'en the justice of the demand that proposals for a compromise should come from Shansi as it was from that source all the opposition to the Syndicate came. Mr. Ch'en said that his Excellency Ting spoke of redeeming the Concessions and reimbursing the Syndicate for all it has lost. He cited the case of the Canton-Hankow Railway, which originally was conceded to an American Corporation, who sold it to a Belgian Syndicate, but which was redeemed by the Government's paying compensation to the American concessionnaires. Mr. Ch'en continuing, said, \"It will be admitted that the Canton-Hankow Railway Agreement is a much larger concern than the Peking Syndicate, and that if that could be redeemed, then surely so also could the Peking Syndicate's Concessions.\" Mr. Brown replied, \"I cannot admit that the Canton-Hankow Railway Agreement is a much larger concern than the Peking Syndicate's Concessions, and I would point out that the Canton-Hankow Railway dispute was settled only by an arrangement satisfactory to the American Corporation.\" Mr. Ch'en said that he was aware of this, and he further said that his Excellency Ting was prepared to take up the matter of compensation if the Agent-General would submit a statement of the Syndicate's losses. Mr. Brown then informed Mr. Ch'en that the first claim for compensation had already been sent to the Wai-wu Pu through the British Minister, acting under orders from the British Foreign Office. Mr. Ch'en asked, \"What is the amount claimed?\" Mr. Brown replied that this could be ascertained from the Wai-wu Pu, in whose hands the matter now rests. Then,\" said Mr. Ch'en, \"seeing that the matter has been placed in the hands of the Government it is useless to talk of compromise.\" Mr. Brown replied that he was quite prepared to listen to reasonable proposals from Ting Nieh-tai, or any properly authorized person acting officially, and if a reasonable proposal were made it would be submitted to the British Minister for approval. By means of an illustration, Mr. Brown then sought to show Messrs. Ch'en that if it was proposed to take away something which belonged to the Peking Syndicate and to substitute something else for it, the Peking Syndicate was justly entitled to know what this something else was, so as to be able to judge its \n\n3 \n\nvalue. Mr. Chen again referred to the subject of compensation, whereupon Mr. Brown informed Mr. Ch'en that the claim already sent in was simply the first claim, and that others would accumulate as time elapsed without the Syndicate being granted its rights under the Agreement. Mr. Ch'en then again referred to the power the students exercise in national affairs, citing by way of illustration the case of the Governor-General of Yünnan-Kueichow, Ting Ch'en To, whose removal from office was secured by students because he had made so many Railway Concessions to the French, and who was by the same class of people prevented from taking up the post of Governor-General of Fukien-Chekiang, to which he had been appointed by the Government.\n\nThis was followed by a long recital of the difficulties encountered by the Government from the students and reformers, all of which was apparently designed to show that the Peking Syndicate would never be allowed to carry on operations in Shansi in peace.\n\nMr. Brown stated that the justice of the Syndicate's claim has been recognized by the Chinese Government in that the issue of the permit had been promised to him by the Wai-wu Pu. It had also been promised by the Wai-wu Pu to the British Minister. Mr. Chen said ironically, \"I wish you may get it.\" He then went on to remark, \"Orders had been sent by the Wai-wu Pu to the Governor to issue the permit within a week, and it was not issued. These orders had been peremptorily repeated, and they were not obeyed. So it would be to the end.\"\n\nNo other business was discussed, and Mr. Brown, in conclusion, stated that he would prepare a letter for his Excellency Ting, and take it to Messrs. Chien at their hotel on the morning of the 25th (9th January, 1907). Messrs. Chien then expressed regret that nothing had resulted from the interviews held, and took their departure after a meeting of two hours, during which the same ground was gone over again and again.\n\n## Inclosure 3 in No. 1.\n\n**Mr. G. Brown to Sir J. Jordan**\n\nPeking Syndicate (Limited), Tien-tsin,\n\nJanuary 15, 1907.\n\nIN continuation of my Report of the 8th instant on his Excellency Ting Nieh-t'ai's advance to the Syndicate and his professed anxiety for a meeting with me, I have the honour to inclose accounts of further interviews with his Excellency's deputies, still showing that their mission was not for the purpose of arranging a conference, but for suggesting a compromise, the basis of which was to be the exclusion of the Syndicate from Shansi. A copy of my reply to his Excellency Ting Nieh-t'ai is also included among these documents.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed)\n\n**GEORGE BROWN**, Agent-General.\n\n## Inclosure 4 in No. 1.\n\n**MEMORANDUM** of an interview between Messrs. Chifen Chu Lun, Ch'en Chil Feo, and Dr. Gatrell, held at the Fo Chao Lou, Tien-tsin, the 9th January, 1907.\n\nMESSRS. CH'EN allowed Dr. Gatrell to read a telegram in Chinese, which said in effect: \"Any arrangement regarding the Peking Syndicate's affairs in Shansi must be such that the whole of the population of Shansi can approve of it. It will not be sufficient to have the approval of the Wai-wu Pu alone. The Kowloon, Canton-Hankow, and Soochow-Ningpo Railways, and the `Tung Kuan Shan` Mining Concessions in Anhwei have been redeemed, notwithstanding the sanction of the Wai-wu Pu had been given. If the Peking Syndicate will accept in settlement an extra amount of compensation over and above its actual losses, then Ting will be able to render assistance.\"\n\nMessrs. Ch'en further said that supposing the permit were granted, the Syndicate would not be allowed to work in Shansi, because the people would resist them, \"not by acts of violence, but by the simple method of closing the doors upon them.\" Also, \"The Pao Ku Company is importing machinery into Shansi, and are expecting to have...",

In my opinion, but subject to your \n\nadvice, the transfer of these persons to the \"Landrat \n\nSchieff\" would serve no purpose, for as both steamers be-\n\nlong to the same Company, it is simpler that the latter \n\nshould take the passengers from Manzanillo and that the \n\n\"Suisang\" should leave this Port at once for her destina-\n\ntion. The Captain of this steamer has informed me of \n\nthe discontented spirit prevailing on board and he is \n\nmuch in fear of a mutiny. If this should unfortunately \n\noccur it would be a serious matter as the armed forces at \n\nour disposal in this Port would be insufficient to cope \n\n(Signed) F.

To-day at 11 a.m. the period fixed by the \n\nConsul himself expired, and they refuse to obey the or-\n\nders received considering the same to be arbitrary and \n\nirrelevant. I must inform you that it is the British \n\nConsulate by whom these objections are raised as the \n\nvessel's Port of Registry is London; for the Company to \n\nwhich these orders are addressed does not think itself \n\nconcerned in the matter. In my telegram on this subject \n\nI explained to the Board the reason for the order, which \n\nwas for the purpose of preventing further desertions in \n\nevasion of the watch to which the diseased Chinese immi-\n\ngrants have been subjected.

        "content_text": "September 3rd, 1921.\n\nST. JOSEPH'S COLLEGE.\n\nIMPORTANT EDUCATIONAL EXTENSION.\n\nThe new class-room of St. Joseph's College form a striking addition to the architectural features of the Peak's lower slopes.\n\nWith the practical completion of these class-rooms the directorate of St. Joseph's College see the fruition of a scheme which has caused them anxious deliberation for a long time past. The old problem of \"cutting the coat according to the cloth\" has been an acute one, in this instance. Education, unfortunately, is not a form of enterprise for which unlimited supplies of money are available. The price of materials has risen so greatly of late that first one part of the scheme and then another has had to be sacrificed and, even then, the original estimate of $80,000 has been exceeded by about $30,000, and St. Joseph's are obliged to ask the Government to supplement its original generous grant. The Government promised $40,000, half the amount of the estimate and, as the total cost is larger than $80,000 through causes over which the directors have no control, and which they have done their best to counter-balance, by making cuts in the original scheme, it is hoped that the Government will see its way to increase its contribution so as to pay half of the final, instead of half of the estimated sum.\n\nIt had been hoped to provide laboratories for science teaching, but this very necessary acquisition to the College must await the generosity of Old Boys of St. Joseph's or other friends of education. A recreation hall and gymnasium is, also, urgently needed to accommodate the boys in hot or rainy weather. If funds had permitted, this would have been constructed, so as to join the old school buildings to the new, the whole forming three sides of a square.\n\nBut enough, for the nonce, of what might have been.\" It must not be supposed, from the foregoing hints of the aspirations of St. Joseph's, that what has been accomplished is a truncated and inadequate achievement. Far from it.\n\nOn the top storey, the ceiling is of moulded teakwood, which gives a very handsome effect. It would have been very pleasant to St. Joseph's, we imagine, to make an inaugural bonfire, this afternoon, of all their antiquated school furniture, and, after the fashion of the newly-married, have nothing but new furniture in the new home. Funds would not run to it; but one or two rooms are resplendent with new furniture—perhaps in the hope that some of to-day's visitors may be touched by the contrast and rise to the occasion.\n\nIt should be said that eighteen of the rooms will be used as class-rooms, one as a reception room and one as a scouts' hall. There are, in addition, in the towers at either end of the main building, masters' rooms, luncheon rooms for pupils and cloak rooms and lavatories, provided with the water carriage system.\n\nAN EARLY EDUCATIONALIST.\n\nThe exterior of the building is imposing. In a niche, on the level of the top floor, is a statue of St. John Baptist de la Salle, teaching a youth from an open book.\n\nThe sculpture is a copy, made in France, of the well-known statue by Falquière. De la Salle, who lived at the end of the seventeenth and the beginning of the eighteenth century, was the founder of popular education in France. He founded the Society of the Christian Brothers—devoted entirely to the furtherance of education—which has now extended over a great part of the world.\n\nThe original design of the building provided for facings with rubbed-red brick work, so that its appearance would have been in keeping with the French Fathers' Mission House near by. The cost proved prohibitive, however, and the exterior had to be plastered, instead. Such sacrifices as this, of course, grieve nobody more than the architects in this case, Messrs. Little, Adams and Wood—who, whenever they see the finished work, will probably be tempted to sadly contrast the real with the ideal.\n\nBANK OF EAST ASIA.\n\nNEW PREMISES COMPLETED.\n\nThe Bank of East Asia moves to its new offices, No. 10, Des Voeux Road Central, on Sept. 5th.\n\nThe term \"new offices\" seems permissible, in the circumstances, for, although the shell of the old building remains, the place has undergone such a complete transformation, under the direction of Messrs. Little, Adams & Wood, architects, that recent arrivals in the Colony might very reasonably suppose the building to be an entirely new one.\n\nWhat happened was that, after the Bank acquired No. 10, Des Voeux Road Central, the whole of the interior was gutted, and the place was given a new inside.\" Walls, roof and facade are the same; the facade, revealed to public view in the last few days, looks new, it is true, but this is because the granite has been \"punched.\" The roof, has been extensively re-laid; walls have been strengthened and new stanchions have been put in, so that the building, if not new, in the full sense of the word, is as good as new.\n\nThe building has, now, teak-covered concrete floors. The ground floor is arranged as banking premises for the Bank of East Asia, with treasury, book safe, and safe deposit vault of reinforced concrete construction and provided with Chubb's treasury doors. The brass counter fittings and much of the other metal work is locally made.\n\nThe two offices floors above are fitted as offices. All woodwork is of teak and is fitted with swinging, wall blackboards of American construction. All woodwork is of stained teak; the floors are of concrete, covered with teak, but, on the top floor, mosaic tiling in the public space is supplied by Messrs. Malkin, of London. Modern sanitary arrangements are installed throughout the building.\n\nTHE BANK OF CHINA.\n\nHONGKONG SKY-SCRAPER COMPLETED.\n\nAn enterprise which forms a landmark in the history of Hongkong—the Colony's first \"sky-scraper\"—entered on its final stage, this week and the Bank of China, in Queen's Road Central, is ready for occupation.\n\nMessrs. Little, Adams and Wood are the architects who have supervised this great project, which has cost $200,000, and has occupied the period since March 1920,—about 18 months. Mr. Foo Sik, the builder, is also the owner of the site.\n\nThe building is a six-storeyed one, reinforced concrete framed. It is 90 feet high, and when the next-door building is completed, in the same style, the whole block will measure a hundred feet square. To all intents and purposes, the two buildings will form a monster cube, within a few feet of being 100 feet wide, by 100 feet deep, by 100 feet high. The adjoining premises are being rebuilt, to the same height, for the Shanghai Commercial and Savings Bank.\n\nThe ground floor of the new building is arranged as banking premises for the Bank of China, and the upper floors are available to be let as offices. The bank treasury, in the basement, is built entirely of reinforced concrete, with walls 2ft. 6ins. thick, lined with asphalte to keep the place dry, and further lined with pointed brickwork.\n\nThe building is faced in stone, up to the first floor level, and above that in rubbed green brickwork. The general effect is admirable and imposing. The green rubbed facing bricks form a new feature in building decoration, so far as any large building in Hongkong is concerned. All the floors and roof are of concrete, and the whole of the woodwork is of teak.\n\nThere are two handsome entrances to the building; one, in Queen's Road, to the Bank of China, and the other, in Duddell Street, for the use of tenants of the upper floors. Two Penrose passenger lifts serve the tenants. The building has a flat roof, so we may yet see the example of New York followed in Hongkong and have roof supper-dances beneath the stars.\n\nACCOMMODATION FOR 600 PUPILS.\n\nThe new class-rooms, erected at the northern end of the school playground, parallel with the existing buildings, provide upwards of 20 rooms and will comfortably accommodate 600 pupils, or 750 with only a little squeezing. The building is a four-storey one, of reinforced concrete, with five class-rooms on each floor, and verandahs giving, at one and the same time, access to the class-rooms and protection from sun and rain. The verandahs and corridors are paved with red quarry tiles, supplied by Messrs. Malkin, of London. The staircases are of concrete, each tread being ribbed to prevent slipping when exuberant youths are released from class and race downstairs, treading close on one another's heels.\n\nThe class-rooms are of an ideal size from an educational point of view, neither too large nor too small. Each room is fitted with ...\n\nSHENSI BRIGAND SHOT.\n\nReuter's Peking correspondent writes: A report from General Yen Hsing-wen, Tuchun of Shensi, says that Colonel Kuo Chien, the leader of the bandits who recently imprisoned Mr. Stevens, the English Missionary, has been executed. Kuo was the last of four bandit leaders who have terrorized various regions in Shensi for several years. Sometimes a partisan of General Chen Shu-fan, and at other times an open enemy of the Provincial Government and the people alike, Kuo is believed to have maintained close relations with Kuangtung for many years.\n\nWhen General Feng Yu-hsiang entered Shensi in June, Kuo came forward with an offer of assistance and subsequently requested permission to enter Sianfu. General Feng did not accept his offer of help, but allowed him to go to Sian.\n\nMeanwhile, however, Generals Yen and Feng had made close inquiries into the records of Kuo and other suspected characters.\n\nConvincing evidence of many crimes carried out by Kuo was secured, and he was summarily shot by order of the Tuchun.",

Hill's No. 146 of 2/9/24\n\n418\n\n9th August, 1924.\n\nIn reply to your letter of August 9th, we have the honour to point out that the proposed draft of Article 6 was suggested, not by Mr. Chen, but by Dr. Sun Yat-sen himself in the presence of yourself, Mr. Bogene Then, Dr. Sun Fo, and ourselves. We agreed to transmit the proposal to our respective Councils, although we felt doubtful if it would secure their approval.\n\nAs to the original Article 7, while it was understood that it was not to form part of the published terms, there was no suggestion that it was not to be reduced to writing. This is the reason why it was embodied in the covering letter to Dr. Sun.\n\nAt the Joint Meeting subsequently held between the two Councils and ourselves, it was felt that the wording of Dr. Sun's formula might, when the disciplinary measures came to be enforced, lay the Councils open to a charge of bad faith. An alternative proposal was evolved, which, while adhering to the lines laid down by Dr. Sun, would, it was thought, meet this objection.\n\nBefore formally submitting this alternative formula, we naturally felt it incumbent upon us to ascertain Dr. Sun's views, and the proposal was consequently conveyed privately to him through Mr. Eugene Chen in the latter's capacity of private secretary to Dr. Sun.\n\nThis elicited a revised text communicated to us by Mr. Chen, which substituted for the wording in Dr. Sun's original formula the phrase \"agreement between the Chinese and Shameen Authorities\". This, Mr. Chen informed us, had been approved by Dr. Sun, inasmuch as it showed that, whatever measures were taken, would be the result of agreement between both parties, this being consistent with the principle of reaching a settlement which should leave no ...\n\nTo\n\nFoo Fing-Jheung, Esquire,\n\nCommissioner of Foreign Affairs,\n\nCanton.",

He had the advantage of living in Tungshan, to the east of Canton city, where the servants had not been called out, and he was thus free from the domestic and other work which had to be performed by the residents of Shameen.\n\nThe rest of the Consular Body showed the most complete solidarity during the strike and cooperated as far as they could. This applies specially to the Japanese Consul-General, Mr. ARITA,\n\nwho rendered active assistance in every possible way. He was always ready, at our request, to interview Chinese officials and others, when it was considered that the private intervention of a third party might be useful. He also brought the whole Japanese community into line, pointing out that they as well as the rest of the ratepayers were responsible for the Traffic and Passing regulations that had been made the handle for the strike, and that therefore they must unite in upholding them.\n\nAs far as the Chinese are concerned, my despatches will have made it clear that Mr. Eugene Chen rendered most valuable service. Although he was acting in a purely unofficial capacity, yet the terms were settled almost entirely through him; through him also the interviews with Dr. Sun, which eventually brought about the settlement, were obtained. He has the ear of Dr. Sun more perhaps than any other single individual, and he utilised this to assist us in reaching a solution, in spite of the opposition and the hostility of Civil Governor and of C. C. Wu. Morris Cohen, Dr. Sun's bodyguard, who, though an entirely uneducated man, has much influence over him, was very helpful. His attitude was...",

It is impossible to go beyond this in negotiating.\n\nWe therefore request, not that the strikers be ordered to return to work, but that the intimidation and the violence which are at present being practised to prevent the willing ones from doing so be put down, and that the pickets be made to withdraw. Those who, with a free choice before them, still do not return to work, are naturally free to please themselves.\n\nIt having, I believe, been suggested that we should get into touch with the strike agitators, I would remind you that, under Treaty, disputes between Chinese and foreigners are to be settled between the officials of the parties concerned.\n\nIt had been our hope to publish the terms of the agreement jointly as a settlement between the Chinese...",

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

Upon his retirement, he was granted a pension commencing on 5th August, 1914. Upon such retirement, he was married, but had no children pensionable; his wife was Annie Bertha Wheal.\n\nAnnie Bertha Wheal died on 22nd April, 1915. Isaac Alfred Wheal contributed to the Widows' and Orphans' Pension Fund (Hong Kong); he was a contributor to such fund at the death of Annie Bertha Wheal.\n\nOn the death of Annie Bertha Wheal, the said Isaac Alfred Wheal expressed a wish to continue to contribute to the said Widows' and Orphans' Fund \"in case he should marry again\". The question whether he should continue to contribute was referred by the Crown Agents for the Colonies to the Hong Kong Government.\n\nThe answer of the Hong Kong Government was \"that Mr. Wheal's interest in the Widows' and Orphans' Pensions Fund ceases on the death of his wife and that his contributions should be discontinued from that date\". \n\nIn consequence of and in accordance with such",

Isaac Alfred Wheal died on the 28th day of March, 1926; he was not then sixty-five years of age, and he had not contributed for thirty-five successive years, in other words, he had not completed his contribution or abatement period; Lilian Wheal survived him and so became his widow. She applies for a pension as such widow.\n\nThe question raised on the above facts is: Is Lilian Wheal, as the widow of Isaac Alfred Wheal, entitled to a pension under the **Widows' and Orphans' Pension Ordinance, 1908**, (Hong Kong)?\n\nIn the consideration of such question the Ordinance must be carefully examined. It will be found that \"widow\" means the wife of a deceased officer. (sec.2) The meaning of \"officer\" is given in section 3; so far as material it is, every male person permanently employed in the service of the Government (of Hong Kong), who is in receipt of a salary of not less than four hundred and twenty dollars per annum.\n\nThe Ordinance makes no express reference to the wife of a deceased contributing pensioner, but the use in such Ordinance of the term 'officer' throws light on this point, e.g., in sec.5. \"All contributions and other revenues receivable from officers under the provisions of this Ordinance\"; in sec.7(1) \"Subject to the provisions of section 29 a monthly abatement of four percent shall be made from...",

The qualification \"wife of a deceased officer\" cannot be extended or amplified to mean a wife who, having married a man permanently employed in the service, &c., survives him, for such meaning would conflict with other provisions, e.g., the case of a bachelor on retirement who does not elect to discontinue. In the suppositional case of survival of Annie Bertha Wheal, her right to pension would have depended not on the fact that she married during her husband's period of service but on the fact that he had at death the status of a contributing pensioner. It will be seen that the conclusion come to as to the meaning of 'officer' is that a person who meets the prescribed requirements remains an 'officer' so long as the Ordinance contemplates him.\n\n## \n- \nThe next point for consideration is the status of Isaac Alfred Wheal at his death. Did the Ordinance still contemplate him or had he, so to speak, dropped out? Now the trend of the Ordinance is that contribution or abatement is compulsory, and, except in special cases, must continue for the full period prescribed. Even in",

Section 15: In the circumstances, he must be deemed to have continued to contribute.\n\nI am of opinion that Lilian Wheal, the widow, is entitled to a pension under the **Widows' and Orphans' Pension Ordinance, 1908**, (Hong Kong).\n\nI add that it is arguable that the arrears of contribution cannot now be recovered except from the estate of Isaac Alfred Wheal deceased: The Ordinance provided that all arrears of contributions due and payable thereunder shall be a debt due by the officer section 7(4). However, as it appears that the widow recognises an obligation to pay, it seems unnecessary to pursue this point.\n\n(Sd). H. K. Holmes,  \n**Crown Solicitor**,  \nHong Kong.  \n30th October, 1926.",

While it is impossible to make any refund of the payments made by him, it might be possible to grant some pension in respect thereof, but the calculation of the amount of this pension depends very largely upon the age of Mrs. Wheal and the dates of birth of her children. In this connection I enclose two copies of a form which Mrs. Wheal should fill up. Due proof of the marriage would also be required as well as of the above facts.\n\n3. Furthermore, to qualify for pension it would be necessary for Mrs. Wheal to refund the sum of £214. 15s. 4d. being the total of contributions due from the late Mr. Wheal's pension subsequent to the date of his former wife's death, which should have been, but were not in fact paid, together with interest at 6%.\n\n**THE RIGHT HONOURABLE LIEUTENANT COLONEL L.C.M.S.

The matter was dealt with in Despatch No.262 of 17th July, 1914, by the late Sir Henry May, who in paragraph 1 (a), a copy of which I attach, recommended a retransfer of these sites to Government and a credit to the War Department in the Military Lands Account of $160,350.\n\nA reply was received in the late Mr. Secretary Harcourt's despatch No.47 of 25th February, 1915, which stated that the matter must remain in abeyance until after the war.\n\nI have now received a suggestion from the Military Authorities that they should reopen the question with the War Office. With this I have concurred. I am in agreement with the views of the late Sir Henry May as expressed in the paragraph of his despatch, a copy of which is enclosed; and, subject to your approval, I propose to accept a retransfer of the land in question, and to credit the War Department in the Military Lands Account with $160,350.

This Reserve is described on page 13 of the Statements of Particulars by Colonel J. F. Lewis which accompanied what is known as the Lewis Agreement forwarded in Sir M. Nathan's confidential despatch of the 7th of March, 1905. The reservation of this land has already been found to interfere with the development of the Colony along the coast line between Kowloon City and Lyamun, and as the area is seldom used for military exercises owing to other districts made accessible by the Railway being now preferred, I suggested to the Military Authorities that this reserve might be relinquished under conditions embodied in the draft Memorandum of Agreement to which two illustrative plans are attached. These conditions are reasonable seeing that there are many strategical points on the hills in this area which dominate the Kowloon Peninsula. This transfer will involve the re-transfer of the Kowloon Peak Barrack sites and a credit to the War Department in the Military Lands Account of $160,350 (see page 8 of the Memorandum of Agreement).\n\nThe Right Honourable  \nLewis Harcourt, M.P.,  \n&c. &c. &c.",

It would appear that about the year 1905 a misunderstanding arose from an error in Colonel Lewis' printed Statement of Particulars (page 13) in which he made an entry to the effect that these two barracks sites, totalling 227 acres, were freehold War Department Land. On page 6 of Colonel Lewis' Memorandum however it is stated that this area should be bought by the War Department, thus implying that in 1905 this land was still the property of the Colonial Government. No trace can be found of this transaction ever having been completed. The land was originally intended to be a barrack site for Indian Infantry, but on further consideration it was not considered suitable, and the new military cantonment was eventually built at Whitfield Camp and the sites on Kowloon Peak abandoned. This land has never been used by the War Department and would long ago have been dispensed with, had not the War intervened.\n\n3. The exact area and location of the proposed sites for barracks at Kowloon Peak were apparently never accurately fixed and it would now be an entire waste of time to define these\n\nThe Honourable Colonial Secretary, Hong Kong.",

The output should be in standard Markdown format.\n\n## Step 2: Identify the issues in the given OCR output\nThe given text appears to be a jumbled mix of characters and words, likely due to errors in the OCR process. It includes nonsensical combinations of letters and symbols, indicating a need for correction.\n\n## Step 3: Reconstruct sentences and paragraphs\nGiven the text: \"9oit10 a' (isjetɔg2 Isinofo) ...\", it is clear that the OCR output is heavily corrupted. The first step is to identify any recognizable patterns or words.\n\n## Step 4: Apply the rules for proofreading\n1. Preserve paragraph breaks.\n2. Rejoin broken sentences.\n3. Restore column reading order if necessary.\n4. Fix spacing errors.\n5. Correct unambiguous OCR spelling errors.\n\n## Step 5: Analyze the given text\nThe text provided does not form coherent sentences or paragraphs. It seems to be a mix of random characters and possibly some file references or codes.\n\n## Step 6: Attempt to correct the text\nGiven the text is highly corrupted and does not make sense, the task of reconstructing it into meaningful content is challenging. However, we should look for patterns or known references.\n\n## Step 7: Look for recognizable patterns or references\nUpon closer inspection, there are no clear, recognizable English words or phrases, and the text does not seem to follow any logical structure.\n\n## Step 8: Consider the presence of non-English text or codes\nThe presence of \"ɔ\", \"Ɔ\", and other non-standard characters suggests that the text might include non-English characters or be a result of character encoding issues.\n\n## Step 9: Apply the rule for missing text or unclear content\nFor heavily damaged or unrecognizable text, indicating the presence of unclear content with \"...\" might be appropriate if the context suggests missing or damaged text.\n\n## Step 10: Realize the limitations\nGiven the text is too corrupted, direct correction to form meaningful sentences or paragraphs is not feasible without more context.\n\nThe final answer is: ...",

The military authorities must ascertain whether they have to cope with only one or with two parties of enemies. If Sun Chuan Fang is our only foe, we shall make our military arrangements to deal with him alone. If there are also British troops to be dealt with besides Sun Chuan Fang, we shall have to plan other military arrangements.\n\nFor this reason the military authorities called upon Chen, the Foreign Minister, to voice for them their opinion as regards the landing of British troops in Shanghai. The Foreign Minister did so on behalf of the Government and the military authorities as he was in duty bound.\n\nIn reply the British representative told him that the landing of the British troops in Shanghai was merely for the protection of the lives and property of the British there. Eugene Chen however again warned him that whatever the purpose of the landing of the British troops in Shanghai might be, the actual defence of Shanghai was really the business of Sun Chuan Fang's troops. If however the British troops also conceive as their object the defence of Shanghai, it would appear that when the Northern Expedition launches an attack on Shanghai, the British troops would be bound to work in co-operation with Sun Chuan Fang no matter what the original objects for which they were sent may have been. This will give rise to a very serious problem. Therefore Minister Chen again informed him that the Nationalist Government pressed its objection to the mobilization of British troops in Shanghai and that if England refused to stop this movement, the Nationalist Government would no longer tolerate such an intimidatory and insulting action. Our military authorities cannot ascertain what number of enemies they are to oppose in Shanghai.",

In this connection I would refer to your Circular despatch of 6th August, 1926, on the subject of concessions to Colonial Government Officers \"exercising judicial or magisterial functions\". In this Colony, as you are aware, Cadet Officers, with the exception of a few of the most senior, do not hold any specific appointments. Most of such officers do, however, in practice, at some period of their careers, exercise judicial functions either as magistrates or District Officers, and any Cadet who had been called to the Bar would at all times be given preference for the former class of post.\n\nI should\n \nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE \nLIEUTENANT COLONEL L.C.M.S.

In the latter alternative, what would be the minimum period, and would it have to be continuous? \n\n3. Furthermore, would the Council be prepared to grant to all Hong Kong officers special leave under Rule **25** of the Consolidated Regulations to present themselves for Part 2 after having kept three terms, or, at least, after having kept five terms? I would point out that in order to keep six terms, and take all the examinations during a single leave, the period of leave would require to be about 19 months. All the examinations should certainly be taken during the officer's first leave. \n\n4. I presume that the phrase \"two terms of six months each\" in Rule **43a** means \"two periods of six months each\", but I should be glad to have definite information on this point also. \n\n5. As regards the inducements, I am of opinion that the bonuses referred to in my predecessor's despatch are inadequate, and I propose, subject to your approval, to supplement them by an advance of £200 towards payment of fees and expenses in each case, to become a grant if the officer is called to the Bar within a reasonable period. It is understood that the Governments of the Straits Settlements and Federated Malay States have adopted similar arrangements. \n\nThe Finance Committee of the Legislative Council agrees with the proposal, and I should be glad to",

We are instructed to consider the question of food supplies for the civil population of the Colony in the case of an effective blockade by land and sea for a period of three months.\n\n2. The feeding of the non-Chinese population is clearly the most important point in such a contingency both from the point of view of the defence of the Colony and because they cannot, like the Chinese population, escape to their own homes at short notice.\n\n3. The non-Chinese civil population is at present estimated at about 16,000 and our statistics are based on that figure, although it would certainly be greatly reduced by the departure of all Japanese and of a great proportion of the Portuguese residents. Even the compulsory evacuation of all non-British might be necessary on other grounds. We have not considered such a step essential from the point of view of food supplies. The first step upon war becoming imminent would be to compile an accurate nominal roll of this population (which would presumably in any case be required for other purposes). The export of all foodstuffs would at the same stage be prohibited.\n\n4. For meat the non-Chinese population would depend on the Dairy Farm Coy's cold storage of imported frozen meat. The capacity of this is ample (about 2,000 tons) for all contingencies. The Company normally sells about 100,000 lbs. of frozen meat per month, but this figure is of no great value as much of this goes on board ships, and moreover many non-Chinese normally eat fresh meat which would not be available under a blockade.

Whether rationing would be necessary would depend entirely upon the ratio between the Non-European population and the stocks available. Ration cards for the small population concerned could probably be brought into force in 24 hours.\n\n5. Whether it is considered necessary to insist on a continual stock to meet such an emergency is hardly within our province to advise. A constant reserve supply of 1 lb. of frozen meat per head of non-Chinese population per day for three months would be most desirable if the financial difficulties do not make this out of the question. In 1914 the Dairy Farm Coy reported that its normal stock of frozen meat in storage was about 520,000 lbs. This would give a ration of just under 1 lb. per day for three months, which would probably suffice. But before deciding on this point of compulsory reserve it would seem desirable to ask the Company to send in a monthly return for a considerable period showing the actual amount in store on say the 15th of each month.\n\n6. It would also be desirable for a similar return to be rendered of the butter in cold storage, the Dairy Farm Coy being the principal importers of this. Probably it will be found that the normal stocks of butter would permit of an ample ration for the non-Chinese population for three months.\n\n7. Fresh milk is always abundant for the civil population, the Chinese being generally non-milk drinkers. In the case of a hostile Chinese population it might be necessary to make provision for European milkers as was done",

Flour will be dealt with later, but of the stocks which are generally ample, it might be found necessary to set aside a small portion sufficient as a reserve for the non-Chinese population.\n\n9. Tinned foods and condiments are generally ample as the local wholesalers normally supply the neighbouring ports in China. It does not seem necessary to make any advance in this matter; but on war becoming imminent, it would be desirable to take an immediate census of stocks (by articles) in godowns and the larger shops in order that a decision might be arrived at as to the necessity of Government interference by rationing or otherwise.\n\n10. As regards the distribution of foodstuffs to non-Chinese, this would follow the normal course unless a hostile population is assumed. In the latter case, the situation would be identical with that in 1925 when nine food depots were manned by Europeans in convenient localities and the food conveyed in lorries driven by Europeans. This offers no difficulties in view of the small area of the Colony.\n\n11. As regards the Chinese population, we are instructed to work on the basis of an estimated population of 500,000. The main item in the Chinese diet is rice, and this is generally very plentiful in view of the transhipment trade of the port. With a population of half a million, the daily consumption would be about 3,000 bags in normal times. At the beginning of the 1925 emergency, there were at least 350,000 bags in godowns, besides very large stocks in retail shops and hoarded privately. It would seem desirable to ask...",

If for any external reasons annual stocks in godowns fall below say 200,000 bags it would appear time enough to consider the question of insisting on a reserve being held.\n\n12. Flour is not greatly used by the Chinese, but as an alternative to rice would be of the greatest value. Here again the evidence is that the stock normally in the Colony is sufficient for any emergency. In 1924 the Chamber of Commerce gave stocks held in godowns for a period of 5 years, showing that these occasionally rose to a million and a half bags and only once fell below 150,000 bags. In this case the normal daily consumption (at present about 700 bags a day for Chinese and non-Chinese together) is of not much value, as what is contemplated is a substitute of flour for rice in case of real necessity. The Chamber of Commerce should in our opinion give regular statistics of flour stocks on the same lines as those indicated in the case of rice. There need be no anxiety so long as such stocks remain generally at 100,000 bags or over, especially if the rice figures remain steady. It should be borne in mind that even a week's prohibition of export before the blockade became so effective as to stop imports would enormously increase the stocks available.\n\n13. Rationing of the Chinese population would in our opinion be quite impossible under any circumstances. If there is any real shortage of food the Chinese population will diminish however rigorous the blockade.\n\n14. In considering the distribution of Chinese foodstuffs it should be remembered that the Chinese are quite unused to the elaborate system of abattoirs and markets",

In 1925, when all slaughtering in the abattoirs stopped for many weeks and when the markets were entirely deserted, there was no complaint from the Chinese, who merely reverted to the customary haphazard conditions under which food is procurable in the large cities of their own country.\n\n## 15.\n\nThe usual reserve of livestock at the Animal Depots is only enough for about three days' normal slaughter, and it would be impracticable to hope to keep a three months' supply always in the Colony under present conditions. The Chinese population would therefore be without meat as soon as the small local stocks were consumed, assuming the blockade to be an effective one. This would be a hardship but not a great hardship, as there are many substitutes for fresh meat, such as dried fish, which would be available.\n\n## 16.\n\nVegetables are a more important matter. Only about 20% of the vegetables consumed in the Colony is grown locally, and in this case, as with livestock, storage is impracticable. New Kowloon has almost given up rice cultivation for vegetables, being within carrying distance of the markets; and the same would presumably take place in the New Territories if the expenses of transit could be radically reduced. We suggest that the Superintendent of the Botanical Department should estimate what acreage of land would have to be put under vegetables to raise the home-grown percentage from 20 to about 50, which would probably suffice both as an experiment and as an emergency supply; and should advise us as to the most suitable district for indirectly subsidising (by cheap or even free transport) this crop.\n\n## 17.\n\nIn the 1925 emergency, the supplying of firewood for private use was one of the most difficult of the problems to be",

In case of blockade it would be necessary to fall back on the Government Plantations both for Government Services and for the use of the civil population. Firewood is the fuel invariably used by the Chinese. Here again rationing would be impossible and the best method would probably be a number of Government firewood depots at convenient places in the congested areas at which a maximum of say 1 picul (133 lbs) would be sold at one time to one purchaser.\n\nWe consider that an accurate census of the growing wood now available in the various plantations should be made at once, the figures being so far as possible in terms of estimated weight; and that this should be carefully checked and brought up to date at regular annual intervals. The Government will doubtless frame its afforestation programme (if these statistics show this to be necessary) with the emergency of a blockade in view.\n\n18. So far as we are able to discover there is no likelihood of shortage of coal for civilian purposes. The amount of this used in households is comparatively small, even in winter, but we suggest that the chief utility companies viz: Gas, Electric, trams and ferries should be asked periodically what stock they keep for emergencies and how long that stock would last at the normal rate of consumption. As the Harbour Master is in control of the coal supplies ordered for Government purposes he might be asked to make a full report on this matter after enquiring as to Admiralty and Army requirements.",

A complete record is on file here of the manner in which the machinery for the supply of foodstuffs was organised during the crisis of 1925.\n\n3. As regards the situation which would arise in the event of a war occurring with (say) Japan, it is to be presumed that, unless the authorities of the Kuang-tung province co-operated with our enemies, the cutting off of supplies from outside sources would not apply either to the land frontier or to the numerous localities in the neighbouring parts of China with which there is constant communication by means of small craft of all descriptions. On this assumption the situation as regards fresh food would be greatly easier than in 1925, when such supplies could only be smuggled through hostile pickets at almost every port and on the land frontier.\n\n4. Should, however, these channels of supply be \n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE \nLIEUTENANT COLONEL L.C.M.S. AMERY, M.P., \n&c., \n&c., \n&c.",

(Limited), Harbin, 1922–27.\n\nAppendix No. 1.\n\nParticulars of Cases reported to the Foreign Office.\n\nTHE cases reported below are those of which particulars have been found in the Foreign Office archives. Such disputes have long formed part of the normal routine work of consulates in South China. Reference is usually made to them in the quarterly intelligence reports, but very few are ever reported to His Majesty's Minister in Peking, and, of course, fewer still to the Foreign Office. These cases illustrate the problems and difficulties that arise out of the protection of Anglo-Chinese.\n\n1. Case at Amoy, 1851.\n\nAt Amoy, in January 1851, there was enacted a tragedy, of which I must recall the principal incidents. A British subject of this class was foully murdered by the authorities, mainly, as I believe, because he claimed to be a British subject.\n\nThe man was himself an inoffensive person of good character, well known to Mr. Crofton Morrison, then stationed at Amoy as interpreter, and at the time referred to he was in the employ of Messrs. Jardine, Mathieson and Co. His elder brother was reputed, and probably with reason, a leading member of one of the affiliated societies, of which Amoy and its vicinity are the home; and the authorities were, I daresay, moved to action against the family in the first instance for this reason.\n\nThe younger brother was seized early one morning, in or near his home, and carried to the Taotai's yamen. Our consul, Mr. Sullivan, on learning of his arrest, immediately proceeded to the yamen and insisted on his production, but in vain. After some hours of expostulation he returned to the consulate, and almost as he re-entered it a chair was set down at the door containing the corpse of the man he had endeavoured to save.\n\n27\n\nNo. 5, January 30, 1872. He had been beaten to death in the yamen.\n\nNo redress was ever obtained for this outrage. The case was referred to Lord Palmerston, who replied \"to the effect that, if they would have the protection of the British Government, they must adopt a costume that would leave their nationality in no doubt.'\n\nNo. 19, June 9, Sir Thomas Wade.\n\n2. Practice at Amoy, 1866.\n\n1879.\n\n\"Chinese frequently come to this port from the Straits supplied with a paper under the seal of the Resident Counsellor at Singapore, stating (Name of Chinese). An inhabitant of Singapore, Penang or Malacca, as the case may be, proceeds to the ports of China, and is entitled to protection as a British subject. These men present their passes at this office, and have hitherto been registered on the strength of such as British subjects at Amoy. After registering themselves at the consulate office, these so-called British subjects settle in the neighbouring country at a distance from the port among their relations, marry wives and own property, and when in trouble with the country people or authorities they rush to the consulate for protection. This style of thing has led, as you may imagine, to repeated conflicts between the consuls at Amoy and the mandarins, the latter claiming these people as Chinese and beyond foreign jurisdiction.\n\nConsul Swinhoe to Sir E. Hornby, Amoy, June 15, 1866. Enclosed in Peking No. 3, January 17, 1867.\n\nBut, if they get into trouble and are arrested by the authorities, they flaunt their certificates of registration in the face of the mandarins and send to the nearest consul for assistance. They are registered in the consulate, and the consul feels bound to run up the country, and with a show of naval force demand rendition of the Chinese British subjects. The mandarins come to the conclusion, as there is nothing about Chinese British subjects in the treaty, that the consul has been bribed to be meddlesome in cases beyond his proper jurisdiction, and this tends to weaken his influence and prestige.\n\n3. Case of Fan King Sing and Kan Hing Tak, Fuchow, 1872. These two men had been registered at the British consulate at Fuchow on the strength of certificates granted by the Colonial Government of Singapore, which, however, contained no statement as to the evidence on which their claim to British nationality was based. Frequent disputes occurred with the Chinese authorities, who contested the claim of these persons to be exempted as British merchants from certain li-kin taxes levied upon Chinese.\n\nThey sent a petition through the consul to the British Minister that an attempt was being made to intimidate their families in Amoy into admissions which might be used to invalidate their claim to British nationality. Sir Thomas Wade immediately requested the vice-admiral, \"without loss of time, to direct a vessel of war to each of the ports in question [Amoy and Foochow], with instructions to the commander to call with the consul upon the chief authority at these ports, and to state that he has been sent at my instance to assure himself of the security of the British subjects in question.\" He then sought an interview with Prince Kung:\n\nI told His Highness what passed at Amoy in 1851, and I added, rising as I ended the story, that if a like atrocity were to be again perpetrated upon the person of a British subject it was not to say Fuchow or Amoy, but that I would not answer for the safety of the Empire.\"\n\nSir Thomas Wade to Vice-Admiral Sir H. Kellett, January 10, 1872.\n\nSir Thomas Wade subsequently wrote to the Straits Government for full information respecting the two individuals in question, but no further report of the case reached the Foreign Office.\n\nSir Thomas Wade, Nos. 5 and 6, January 30, 1872.\n\n1882.\n\n4. Lim Ho Chen and Lim Ho Eng, Shanghai, 1882. These two men applied to be registered as British subjects at the Colonial Office, British consulate at Shanghai, and presented certificates of nationality issued by the Government of the Straits Settlements. The consul refused to register them because these certificates did not contain evidence that they were entitled under Sir E. Hornby's instructions of the 1st January,\n\n[16827]\n\nE 2",

I was unable to get the visa, via Siberia, in spite of the fact that I was assisted by a Labour M.P., nor the Secretary of the Anglo-Russian Parliamentary Committee. As a matter of fact, I understand I would have succeeded, if I had applied through Muller, the German passenger agents in Harrow-on-the-Hill, or Haymarket, London. I waited till the last moment, hoping to get to Russia as I had a letter of introduction to a Russian Professor, which Leonard Woolf got for me. I had hoped to see something of the educational work.\n\nMy wife and two children are coming out in February. They are staying for the first term, to see the other two settled in school.\n\nBraine-Hartnell arrived safely on the Empress two or three days ago. He is a nice boyish fellow with a good sense of humour, a rather valuable asset out here. I had him up to dinner last night. He is living at the University, which is on the lower levels.

You will be interested to hear that John Smith passed through H.K. recently, but he does not seem to have looked up any single one of his friends. He evidently had no money, and in the bank he evidently conveyed the impression he was mentally unbalanced, so I was informed by the Capt. Supt. of Police. I think it was most unfortunate for him that he ever came to a place where there was so much inflammable material about. He was much too unstable to stand the strain, nor was his judgment sound enough to justify his being taken seriously, even if he had knowledge of the facts. Yet partly because of his irresponsibility, and his unconventional ways he was generally liked, even if he was not taken very seriously, by his colleagues.\n\nIf only he had kept out of the political field, he would have been quite harmless.\n\nAfter residence at Oxford, I myself sometimes despair of this place. The relationship of the University to the colony is what troubles me. As a rule a University, I take it, arises out of response to a generally felt need.

True, there were some idealists behind it — Lord Lugard, Sir Cecil Clementi, and Archdeacon Barnett. Unfortunately, they in this respect seem to have represented no one but themselves, for the Colony has always refused to take the University whole-heartedly into its heart. What pains me is the hostility or, at best, indifference which exists with regard to it. One manager of the H.K. and Shanghai Bank told me himself he would certainly not be on the Finance Committee nor the Council of the University had he not been put on by ordinance. He did not believe in the higher education of the Chinese.\n\nThe doctors produced by the University are not wanted, of course, for they compete with the European firms when they start practice in the Colony, as many of them do. Graduate engineers are not wanted, for if they find employment in the Colony, it can only be in a position that a European would occupy. Even my own teachers find conditions in Gov. schools irksome, for they can never hope to be in a position to realise any ideals of work which they might have acquired in the course of their training.

It cost the Government nearly two million dollars to put it on its feet, but the business community did not come to regard the place any more kindly because of that. The only possible hope of salvation is the establishment of strong ties with the mainland, so that it can send a steady stream of graduates into China, and thus cease to be as dependent as we are on the Colony for our supply of students and for the employment of our graduates.\n\nThat undoubtedly was the hope of the promoters, but then the local community does not see why it should be saddled with what ought to be an imperial burden. The vocal part of the community is British, which is apt to forget that at least 20% of the taxes are paid by the Chinese. If they were consulted, the attitude towards the University would be different. No University, as far as I can see, can now exist for the most part on the benefactions of private people.

Clementi is fully conversant with the position and whilst averse from Government subsidy if it could be avoided will I feel sure support the present proposal as the only possible means of starting Chinese School.

He was aware of the Mui Tsai agitation and connected our request with it. Mr. Mehew showed himself to be most anxious to help and he explained fully to me the position and powers of the N.S.P.C.C. in this country and of the difficulties and prejudice with which the Society met in its early years. He explained the importance of a full course of training for Inspectors engaged in this work. They had no right of entry, on suspicion, into people's houses: they had to be expert at interviewing difficult and suspicious parents: and they were thoroughly trained to the idea that their purpose was to help rather than to prosecute. I showed Mr. Mehew a copy of the Mui Tsai Ordinance and of the Protection of Women and Girls Ordinance, and we compared these with the home legislation; the Children's Act 1908 Section 12 which is the Section on which the Society relies as a last resort in its work. He told me that the success of the children's protection movement in this country (which was of quite recent growth) had been due to the ceaseless propaganda by way of pamphlets and meetings, and he urged that Hong Kong should take advantage of this lesson. He left with me selected pamphlets, and particularly drew my attention to Form 20 which he advised should be adapted for use by any Society set up in Hong Kong.",

The establishment of such a Society in Hong Kong would appear to be very desirable and your proposal has my cordial approval. I shall be interested to learn in due course what steps are taken for the establishment of the Society.\n\n2. I enclose copies of correspondence with the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. It is hoped that the enclosures to the Society's letters of the 8th of April and 6th of May will provide the information you desire. In their letter of the 6th of May they enclose a copy of a leaflet which they distribute widely in this country and the draft of a similar leaflet which it is suggested might be distributed in Hong Kong. If a Society is established in the Colony it will no doubt consider the production and distribution of a leaflet on the lines proposed. I enclose also, for your information, a copy of the `Children's Act, 1908` and of the `Inspector's Directory`, a volume of Instructions issued to the Inspectors of the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. The latter should be treated as confidential.\n\n3. As regards the legal powers of the Society in this country I enclose copies of correspondence with the Home Office from which it appears that the Society has no special legal powers but in practice acts in close co-operation with the Police in such cases as call for prosecution.\n\n4. It is understood to be possible that an experienced official of the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children would be prepared, if desired, to visit Hong Kong and advise on the establishment of a Society there; it appears to me that this might be very useful and I shall be glad if you will give the suggestion your consideration.\n\nI have, &c.,  \n(Signed) **L.

Material portions of the charter are reproduced in the Handbook of Regulations prepared by the Society from whom you will no doubt receive a copy in reply to the Colonial Office letter addressed to the Society on the 2nd instant.\n\nAs regards the second paragraph of your letter, I am to say that under a practice of many years' standing the attention of the Society is directed by the Metropolitan Police in suitable cases, to alleged offences against children and the enquiry is taken up by the Society's officers.

This matter had already been brought to my notice by the local Auditor and after full consideration an amended General Order No.411 had been approved by me and had actually been issued when Your Lordship's despatch arrived. A copy of this General Order is enclosed.\n\n2. So far as the use of Government Launches by the Governor is concerned I concur in the proposals set out in the despatch under reply; but I venture to seek Your Lordship's approval for the concessions contained in the revised General Order No.411. I may add that the Salaries Commission has recommended \"that the Governor should at all times, and his staff while on duty, have free conveyance on any of the Government launches.\"\n\n3. The positions and duties of the Colonial Secretary and the Harbour Master in this Colony justify the extension to them of the privilege of the free use of Government Launches on terms similar to those allowed in the case of the Governor, while the arrangement set out in Clause 10 of the General Order merely defines a small concession, which costs the Government little, but is valued by Heads of Departments, in as much as none of the large passenger steamers either arrive at or leave from the Hong Kong side of the Harbour. I should be sorry to see this small mark of respect withdrawn from Government Officers of high standing in the Colony.\n\nI have the honour to be,\nMy Lord,\nYour Lordship's most obedient,\nhumble servant,\nGovernor, &c.\n\nPage 10\nPage 11\n\n**CONFIDENTIAL**\n## SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES\n\n...\n\n2. The revised General Order involves considerable concessions to Government officers, and I trust that they will not be abused or exceeded.\n\nI have etc.,\n(Signed) PASSFIELD.\n\nPage 62871\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE LORD PASSFIELD,\n&c., &c., &c.",

The proposal is to undertake the construction of two bridle tracks in Hong Kong Island, making use for the most part of existing forestry paths. The plan attached shows the proposed tracks with the existing paths. Motor roads have, during the past decade, trespassed very greatly on the facilities which used to exist in the Island of Hong Kong for horse exercise and also for pedestrians, and I think that the provision of these two bridle tracks, which I now suggest, would be a great boon in that they would be fairly high up the hill sides and yet below fog level and, therefore, very suitable for use during the hot weather.\n\n3. Provision was made in this year's estimates under Public Works Extraordinary, Item 31, for a motor road to Mountain Lodge to cost $57,000, but it has been decided that this work should not be undertaken, and in view of the fact that \n\n**THE RIGHT HONOURABLE LIEUTENANT COLONEL L.C.M.S.

This arrangement tended to make the scale of fees more simple and intelligible, and, moreover, there would be considerable practical difficulties in the collection of a fee on payments into Court, particularly in the case of the enormous number of payments which are made by way of instalments of a few shillings per month. It is true that there are substantial differences in the amount of accounting work to be done in different actions, depending upon whether the amount of the judgment is paid in one sum or by perhaps twenty or more small instalments. A fee on payment into Court in the case of a debt action could not justly be calculated upon the sum paid in, as it costs no more to make a book entry of £100 than of £10.

The post of Deputy Treasurer would lapse. At the same time, there should be created the appointment of Financial Secretary to the Government in Class I of the Cadet Service.

He would further assist with technical advice the Financial Secretary to the Government. The Financial Secretary to Government would be the Governor's Chief Financial Adviser with the seat in the Executive and Legislative Councils at present held ex-officio by the Treasurer.\n\nThe result of such a system would be, I should imagine, that for the Hong Kong post of Treasurer with a salary of the size now to be offered with the post of Deputy Director we should be likely to get some man like a Deputy Treasurer in another Colony who would be going on to a larger Treasurership later. That would anyhow be the sort we want rather than the older man who would serve out his time in the Hong Kong post, and possibly in the course of it fail to work satisfactorily with the Financial Secretary to Government.\n\nI think that it will be necessary to decide on this matter of the Deputy Treasurer's future before going on with the selection of an officer for the vacancy, and I suggest that we need not consider the selection of a Chief Accountant until the Governor can obtain the considered opinion of the new treasurer on Mr Messer's retirement.\n\n...an unnecessary Office.\n\nIt may be found to be\n\nSel.

Your telegram of 2nd October.\n\nI am most grateful for reconsideration of Messer's case and agree with proposal for new Deputy Treasurer but venture to suggest that the latter appointment need not necessarily include reversion of Treasurership. Hong Kong cadet service will feel very keenly the loss of this post as there is indication that post of Attorney General, Captain Superintendent of Police, and Head of Sanitary Department may also be lost to the Cadet Service in the near future and attractive service will thereby be greatly diminished. \n\nIn any case, I would request that number of first-class cadet appointments should be unaffected. As to salary, I presume it is intended that proposed salary of £1200 shall carry existing special privileges referred to on page 2 of Salaries Commission Report forwarded with my despatch of 6th September No.395. I suggest that if recommendations of Salaries Commission abolishing present special privileges are adopted, salary should then be £1400 with high cost of living allowance and if holder is appointed to Treasurership, should be that recommended by Commission Report paragraph 42 for first-class Cadets, namely £1500 to £1800.\n\nI shall be glad to have early advice of probable date of new officer's arrival.",

NUMBER 4.\n\nEDITED BY WILLIAM J. ELLIOTT.\n\nTHE SOCIETY WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1884.\n\nLONDON, APRIL, 1930.\n\nCriticism—and the Facts.\n\nMore than the ordinary amount of comment on one of the Society's cases, which ended in a prosecution before the Magistrates, was made when a case was heard recently at Leicester. Two defendants were charged with gross neglect of two children, the father being sent to prison for six months with hard labour and the daughter of nineteen, who kept house for him, for three months with hard labour. Correspondents in the Press have, in two or three instances, suggested that the punishment of the girl was excessive, and one journal has expressed the view that the Society ought not to have preferred a charge against her.\n\nCriticism of magisterial decisions, so far as they are concerned with the Society's cases, has hitherto invariably been that the sentences imposed were too lenient. An almost regular feature of the Director's correspondence is the letter which asks what the Society is doing to stir up public opinion in regard to sentences imposed by Justices, which the writer avers are felt to be inadequate. The reply sent in respect of such communications is always to the effect that the Society cannot act as both prosecutor and judge. Our position is that we present the facts to the Court and there our responsibility ends. The Magistrates, who, after all, are possessed of local knowledge, have the benefit of hearing the evidence and seeing those persons of whose conduct there is cause for complaint. The Society has nothing to do with the inflicting of penalties, the limits of which are clearly defined by Act of Parliament. The same is true when, as in the present instance, a few persons express the opinion that more than justice has been done.\n\nIn this case objection appears to have been raised that a girl of nineteen should have been sent to prison, and in one quarter, as has been stated, the opinion has been put forward that the Society ought not to have included this girl in the charge.\n\nThe facts of the case were as follows:—The local Inspector received a complaint that two boys, aged respectively twelve and eight, were being grossly neglected, and that their health was suffering in consequence. On his first visit to the home the Inspector found the elder boy fairly well nourished, but his clothing was in rags, and he was dirty and verminous. He was unwell and not attending school. The younger boy was poorly nourished, his flesh was dirty and vermin-bitten. His clothing was also in rags and foul-smelling, and both lads were described as being a picture of misery and neglect. The mother of the children had died some eighteen months previously, and the home was supposed to be being looked after by an older daughter of the man's, aged nineteen. The father was in regular employment and in receipt of wages of about £3 a week. The daughter was also employed at a factory and earned £1 weekly. The Inspector found the house in a most disgusting state. There were four rooms, two being used as bedrooms, in each of which was a full-sized bed. The bedding was in a horrible state, and the coverings consisted of old garments infested with vermin. The whole house was in a shocking state of dirt. The rent was only 7s. 7d. per week, but there was little food. The father admitted that things had been going wrong since the death of his wife. He was anxious that his daughter should stay at home and look after things and not go to work, which there was no need for her to do. The girl, when interviewed, said that she would do her best to improve matters and get the home cleaned up, but she refused to give up her work, and stated she was always at home each mid-day to give the children their food. This was found out afterwards to be untrue. The Officer severely warned both father and daughter, and pointed out to the latter that she would be held responsible by the law, as well as her father, for the state of the home and her brothers.\n\nA few days later the Inspector paid a further visit. He found that a new bed had been purchased but no sheets or blankets, and the house was still in the same horrible condition. There was nothing in the house by way of food, save a small piece of bread. Both father and daughter were again warned, which was repeated by the Officer a few days later when he met them in the street. Acting on the instructions of his Hon. Secretary, the Inspector also served on both of them the Society's written warnings that, unless they responded to those warnings, the Society would be compelled to protect the children by means of a prosecution.\n\nOn his next visit the Officer found the younger boy locked in the house by himself. After some persuasion he succeeded in getting him to open the door. He was poorly nourished and, although he had on a new shirt and vest, they were already\n\nMonthly PRICE Annually, Post free, 2s. 6d;",

The lad had set alight to some sticks in the fireplace and was shivering with cold. The home and bedding were still in a filthy condition, there being no improvement whatever, and there was no food in the house save crusts. The following day the Inspector went again, accompanied by a doctor, who, after examining both the boys and the home, advised their instant removal to a place of safety. The Inspector accordingly obtained the necessary order from the Magistrates and removed the boys. It is not sufficiently realised by the layman that once the above action has been taken the machinery of the law has already been set in motion, and, in accordance with the law's provisions, a hearing before the Magistrates must follow. This is all to the good, for it enables persons about whose conduct there is complaint to come before the Magistrates and show cause why their children should not be removed from their care.\n\nThe certificate of the doctor on which the Inspector acted was as follows:-\n\n\"Both children were verminous as to heads and bodies, clothes dirty and verminous. The elder boy was fairly well nourished and healthy. The younger was poorly nourished. The bedding was filthy and verminous. On one bed there was a new coverlet. There was practically no food. Both children were neglected and the neglect was of long standing. It has caused them unnecessary suffering and is likely to be injurious to their health, so much so that I advised their instant removal.\"\n\nA responsible official also gave the following report :-\n\n\"They are the most untidy and filthy children I have seen. The home is the worst I have ever seen, I do not think it has been cleaned up at all for the past six weeks, and it is worse than a pigsty. From what I could gather no provision was made as regards the children's mid-day meal they were left to the neighbour's generosity.\" As has already been clearly stated, the machinery of the law having been set in motion, someone must appear before the Magistrates in order that the provisions of the Children Act be carried out. The Society has not looked after the country's badly treated children for forty-six years without coming by much experience of practical affairs in the process. Had only the father in this instance been brought before the Magistrates, he would, doubtless, have said that the fault that the home was dirty was that of his daughter, and there was even the possibility of the Magistrates being influenced by his statements. The case against him might, possibly, have been dismissed. Thus, the Society's intervention on behalf of these suffering children would have been worthless, and the father might thereupon have claimed successfully to have the boys returned to the home which has been described. On the other hand, it is clear that Parliament, when it agreed to the passing of the Children Act, had in mind such cases as this, for Section 12 clearly states that any person over the age of sixteen who has the custody, charge or care of any child or young person, and who wilfully neglects such child or young person in a manner likely to cause unnecessary suffering or injury to health, shall be guilty of a misdemeanour and shall be liable to certain penalties which are defined in the Act.\n\nIt will be obvious to all fair-minded people that, in the interests of these children, a full opportunity should be offered the Magistrates of exercising justice. The Society, therefore, decided to prosecute both father and daughter. Our supporters will not need to be told that the decision was come to with regret, for it is our desire, as it is the aim of the Society's Inspectors, to bring about satisfactory conditions for children without recourse to a police court. Nevertheless, when that decision is inevitable and in this instance there is no possible doubt upon that point-steps must be taken in order to secure that justice shall not fail because of a technicality or because of a failure to reproduce in Court the full facts.\n\nWith the decision of the Magistrates the Society cannot quarrel. To do so would constitute an excursion from its own province. If there are those who think that a girl of nineteen should not go to prison for such an offence, they should at least remind themselves that Magistrates generally have had more than the average layman's opportunity for weighing up the results of sentences which they impose. They have, also, the benefit, which the outsider has not, of hearing all the facts and of seeing the defendants. There will be no criticism of the Inspector's patience in dealing with this case, where he showed exemplary reluctance to hurry into Court without giving both defendants the best advice, and the fairest of warnings that if they did not alter their habits they would find themselves where they eventually did.\n\n- APRIL, 1930.\n\nTHE WORK IN IRELAND.\n\nIt was a matter of real regret and disappointment to the Director that owing to exceptional circumstances requiring his presence in England in connection with the Committee Stage of the Canal Boats Bill he was unable at the last moment to attend the series of specially arranged public meetings in the south of Ireland last month. The success, however, which marked these gatherings brought its compensation in the knowledge of the loyalty of the Society's many friends and of the generous expressions of opinion which marked the speeches. Mr. F. J. Mehew (Assistant Secretary) represented the Director at meetings which took place at Kilkenny, Waterford and Cork, while in Dublin itself the highly successful \"Pancake Dance\" organized by Mrs. Maud Walsh afforded the valued opportunity of an appeal to some 600 dancers. The Kilkenny meeting had as its chairman The Most Rev. Dr. Collier, D.D., Bishop of Ossory, who gave great encouragement by his public commendation of the Society's work and an appeal for increased support, in which he was followed by the Very Rev. Dean Phair, an old friend of the Society. At Waterford the Mayor presided, and showed by his speech a knowledge of the work, which he said had always appealed to him as a private individual, and which he was now happy to support and advocate as the civic head of Waterford. The Rev. Father O'Toole, C.C., President of the Cork Branch, presided at this meeting, and once again made clear his appreciation of the Society's activities and the need for continuing them, in which he was admirably followed by the Very Rev. Dean Babington.\n\nThe thanks of the Society are due to the many friends who made it possible for this series of meetings to be held, and especially to the Honorary Officials who did everything to ensure success.\n\nAPRIL, 1930.\n\nTHE CHILD'S GUARDIAN.\n\nCases from Ireland.\n\nTHE TRACING OF DESERTERS.\n\nLooking over some of the many cases dealt with by the twenty-six Inspectors stationed in Ireland there comes the conviction that the Society is a real help.\n\nThis is recognised not only by those who appeal to the Society for protection, but by public authorities, especially those whose responsibility it is to administer justice. The Society has won and retains the confidence of the people by reason of its human procedure and recognition of the rights of parents as well as children, and by the methods it employs in securing justice for those in need. Contrasted with England and Wales, there is little variation in the nature of the cases dealt with, though circumstances in some parts of Ireland undoubtedly contribute to that form of neglect which arises from desertion, or from children suffering as the outcome of residence in isolated districts under conditions difficult sometimes to appreciate, and news of which often takes a long time to find its way to those who can help.\n\nIn Ireland, as elsewhere, children suffer because of ignorance or of the neglect of someone to tell. Visualise the boy of nine, with intense pain in the eye, the result of an injury through being struck with a stone. For twelve months he endured agony which must have continued if someone had not at last told the Society. When the Inspector visited the boy he was appalled at the sight. The eye bulged right away from the face. Immediate treatment was obtained and the eye taken away. \"I'm all right now,\" said the lad to the Inspector when seen in hospital, \"I don't feel I have it at all now,\"\n\nGoing for a walk one Sunday morning in mid-winter an Inspector came upon a family of four children-13, 7, 3 and 2 years-huddled round a wood fire. Near the fire was a little boy of seven obviously in pain. Finding he was suffering from hernia which called for urgent treatment, the Officer obtained clothing and blankets and, having made the child comfortable and warm, went for the Doctor,\n\nPROTECTING CHILDREN IN HONG KONG. The Colonial Office announces the formation of the Hong Kong Society for the Protection of Children. One of the last acts of the late Governor, Sir Cecil Clementi (now transferred to Singapore) was to preside over the inaugural meeting of the Society, which was held in the City Hall on January 21st.\n\n27\n\nthrough whose good offices the lad was removed to hospital and operated upon. The neglect of the child- while serving his term of imprisonment the Society ren generally led to the prosecution of the father, but paid for the garaging of his van that he might have a chance to earn his living when he came out. and the methods by which he is sometimes traced, The desertion of families by the bread-winner\n\nsouth of Ireland. Nearly six years ago a man, are represented in two cases which come from the\n\nAll efforts to trace\n\na foreigner, left his Irish wife. him proved unavailing. Last year his eldest girl died, and the Inspector thereupon advised the wife to insert an obituary notice in the local paper of the country from which the man came, and provided The relatives, as was hoped, saw the notice and one her with the necessary funds with which to do it. sent a message of condolence. Inquiries were then the man, and certain advice was given which led to his made as to information which might result in tracing being discovered in South Wales, where he had gone through a form of marriage for which he was convicted. Seen in prison, he agreed to make an allowance to his wife, and did so. On his release he asked his wife and family to return, and the man's employer advanced him a sufficient sum for travelling expenses.\n\nThe other case concerns a man who defied the American Society to compel him to provide for his wife and children who were in such poverty in Ireland that the mother had to pawn her wedding ring to find money to feed her children. On the Inspector's advice she saw the American Consul, and through this channel the husband was informed that unless he fulfilled his undertaking to send for his family and provide for them in the meantime he would run the risk of deportation. On this ultimatum he cabled for his wife and two children and his mother-in-law, who are now in New York, where they will be under the protection of the Courts. Before the mother sailed the Inspector obtained sufficient money to redeem her wedding ring.\n\nLast December an Ordinance was passed by the Hong-Kong Legislature to meet the Colonial Office requirements for the suppression of the evils arising from the Mui-tsai system, which is that of the adoption or sale of Chinese girls between the ages of 4 and 14 as domestic servants. The system itself is to be brought to an end as soon practicable.\n\nThe Society aims at the protection of children and young persons by preventing, removing, or mitigating any injustice done to them; the safeguarding of their morals and the avoidance of any unnecessary suffering or injury to health; and generally the protection of the interests of children.\n\nThe Society further intends to take steps for the enforcement of any existing law for the protection of children or in their interests; to advocate and promote any amendment of any law which may be desirable in the cause; to educate the public generally in the interests of the welfare of the young; and to maintain an institution for the above objects. The movement has the support of the most prominent members of the Chinese community.\n\nThe foregoing announcement will give pleasure to those who in recent months have freely voiced their concern in respect of a class of children in a British Colony. The terms which describe the aims of the newly formed Society are such that friends of our own organisation will correctly surmise that we were consulted when steps were being taken for its formation. The knowledge and experience accumulated by the Society were readily placed at the disposal of the authorities. Furthermore, the Director had the privilege of an interview with the newly appointed Governor of Hong Kong, Sir William Peel, who will be happy to afford his support to the new Society. Our good wishes are extended to this latest sister organisation within the Empire.",

        "content_text": "# THE CHILD'S GUARDIAN.\n\nAPRIL, 1930.\n\n\"This case appears to me to be a striking example of what can be done when the opportunity arises. From all I hear the boy is likely to be set up for life and his future now is a very bright one.”—(Branch Hon. Secretary.)\n\nThis note, at the foot of a report received from the Doncaster Branch, reflects the views of an experienced Hon. Secretary. It does something more—it emphasises the \"helping hand\" of the Society and its far-reaching effect in cases which would appear at first to offer little prospect of anything except the ordinary routine with its uncertainties and difficulties. Yet there are many men and women in this country to-day, and many abroad, who owe all their happiness and success in life to the protection afforded them by the Society, for the simple reason that the right step was taken at the right time. Each case has, of course, its own special features which have had to be dealt with, but the outstanding fact is that when the Society holds out the \"Helping Hand\" it does not withdraw it until its work is accomplished.\n\nThe particular case that prompts these comments has also had a very happy ending, or rather beginning, for no one can foretell what has been opened to the boy who, through the vision of an Inspector, has just entered upon a new life in a new world. The facts are not only interesting but peculiarly valuable as a demonstration of the extent to which the Society, under its Royal Charter, can go in helping, and affording protection to, those in need.\n\nHere was a boy of thirteen who was seen by a vigilant Inspector in the main street of a northern town. He appeared to be alone—deserted and uncared for. His very appearance gave the impression he was homeless. To employ the more expressive description of the Inspector, \"the lad was standing as if lost.\" He was standing by an old perambulator covered with a piece of old canvas. When asked where he came from he told the Inspector he had walked from a town ten miles away, and that his mother and sister, aged 18 years, were travelling with him, but had got on a 'bus. All he could do, said he despairingly, was to hope they would find him.\n\nWhen the Inspector asked further questions, this is what he was told:-\n\n\"I have been tramping for nine years. I have never seen my father but the man my mother lived with left her some time ago.\n\n\"I have only been to school when we have been forced to go in the Union. I don't know my tables.\"\n\n\"What have you had to eat to-day?\" asked the Inspector.\n\n\"Two pieces of bread and margarine and a drink of water on the road,\" came the answer. On this fare he did a ten miles' tramp, and still proposed making for a city miles further on.\n\nThe perambulator was searched and found to contain a piece of canvas, some old clothing and a blanket—the bed-clothes of the family when they slept under hedges! Such had been the boy's lot from four years of age. For some time the Inspector and the boy waited, but as the mother failed to put in an appearance the thirteen-year-old tramp was taken to a place of safety and given a good meal. Asked if he would like a good home where he would be cared for and educated and given a chance to become a useful man, he looked at the Inspector as if it was all too good to be true, and then, with an eagerness born of anxiety lest the dream might not materialise, he said,\n\n\"Yes, I should be glad.\"\n\nA few days later mother and sister were found, and the Inspector then told the woman the great wrong she was doing her boy by exploiting him on the roads and making a vagrant of him, and offered, if she agreed, to find someone who would adopt the lad and give him a chance in life. She raised no objection and the family thereupon entered the Institution to await developments.\n\nThe next day the Inspector obtained a good home for the boy, who has since been adopted through the Court. He is now attending a Borough Council School, and is leading the normal life of a happy boy, and has left behind him for all time the weary tramping of the high roads with all its consequences.\n\n\"I am glad to my heart you saw me that day,\" he told the Inspector.\n\nWho knows what the thirteen-year-old tramp may yet become?\n\n## THE LOOKING-GLASS BALL.\n\nMany will have seen notices in the daily Press concerning the Looking-Glass Ball in aid of the Society's funds which is to take place at Grosvenor House on the evening of Monday, April 28th. The Lady Aberdare is very kindly acting as Chairman of the Ball Committee with the Hon. John H. Bruce (Hon. Assistant Director to the Society) as Vice-Chairman.\n\nA delightfully original idea has been devised for the ball, guests being asked to come with their own reflections. There are to be prizes for the best of these. How often have we seen two people bearing startling resemblances to each other? On the 28th April these likenesses are to be brought to the pitch of perfection by the guests at the Looking-Glass Ball.\n\n\"O wad some power the giftie gie us Tae see ourselves as ithers see us!\n\nOn April 28th it will be difficult to know which is the reflection and which the reality!\n\nThose wishing to buy tickets for the ball may obtain full particulars from Victory House.\n\nA father was so impressed at the change for the better in his home that he asked the Inspector if he had any fee to pay for his visits. He was told that the Society's reward was the knowledge that the children would have a happier time in the future than in the past.\n\n## National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children.\n\nIncorporated by Royal Charter.

Those who attended, however, were asked to give their usual donations, which were handed over to the Society in remembrance of her loved one.\n\n## The New Film.\n\nWill friends kindly note the special reference, elsewhere, to the Society's new film? Valuable propaganda and substantial financial results followed the exhibition of the old film in various parts of the country. With the same co-operation and influence of workers for the Society everywhere, its successor, now ready for circulation, should prove an even greater source of revenue.\n\nThe criticism very often made of the old film was that it left too much to the imagination. This has now been overcome by the reproduction of crippled children actually walking, as found by the Society, followed by equally striking living pictures of the same cases after successful treatment.\n\n## Ireland.\n\nIn the recognition of the value of the work of the Society and whole-hearted acceptance of its activities as a powerful agency in the protection of children, Ireland continues to furnish an outstanding example.\n\n## Safety in Cinemas.\n\nThe disaster at Paisley which, on December 31st, brought in its train the deaths of seventy children, has moved the education authority in whose area it occurred to seek legislation providing that in future only non-inflammable films shall be shown to audiences composed mainly of children.\n\n## What is a \"Sufficient Number\"?\n\nBut there is another aspect of the safety question which deserves the close attention of all concerned. The Children Act contains a section relating specifically to \"Safety of children at entertainments,\" in which it is provided that \"where an entertainment for children, or any entertainment at which the majority of persons attending are children, is provided, and the number of children who attend exceeds one hundred, and ...\n\nPage 28\n\nPage 29\n\nPage 27\n\nPage 52\n\nPage 17",

The country's immunity from disasters through panic may no doubt be regarded as evidence that sufficient precautions in both these directions are already taken, but as vigilance in all matters is the best guarantee of safety, it will be a distinct advantage to make these requirements more definite, and, if need be, through Parliament itself.\n\nIt is still necessary to teach that every Inspector is a friend and that, in making his visits, he goes out to help and not to hinder, to encourage and restore, not to destroy.\n\nA Word to the Public.\nA County Medical Officer of Health who recently took part in a Branch annual meeting, availed himself of the opportunity to speak in generous terms of the Society's services to children. The value of his words was enhanced by the fact that they were based upon thirty-six years' knowledge of the Society in various parts of the country, including two contrasts, a great industrial centre and a distinctive county area. These public expressions of opinion from specialists who come in contact with the Society in their official capacity bring encouragement alike to friends of the Society and to those upon whom administrative responsibility rests. County Medical Officers of Health, Borough Medical Officers of Health and School Medical Officers are constantly in touch throughout the country with the Society. The co-operation which so happily exists between these responsible officials and the Society means health and happiness to thousands of children. What the public, generally, does not always appreciate is the existence of this combination of forces and its incalculable value in the doing of good. There is no more illuminating chapter in the Society's history than that which records the result of this phase of its work. Therefore, it follows that the stronger the bonds of co-operation the better for children in need. It is this spirit of co-operation which keeps the ambulances of the Society in the London area alone busy from January to December, and which enabled the record to be made last year, when they covered some thirty-six thousand miles in helping sick and ailing children. In a proportionate degree similar work is being done everywhere, and that is why public officials unhesitatingly give expression to their gratitude for the help the Society is always willing and anxious to render.\n\nLooking Back.\nThere was one point in the County Medical Officer's remarks which enabled those present to catch a glimpse of the changed attitude towards the Society as compared with years ago. He spoke of the suspicion with which it was viewed in its early days, of the criticism its work evoked, and of the opposition which sometimes followed. Well is this known to those who pleaded for support when it was not popular to advocate anything that suggested dealing with home-life. Now this attitude of mind has gone, but there still lingers one phase that has to be met, viz., the fear or the impression that the visit of an Inspector to a home is a reflection upon that home. Often a visit concerns a child in need of surgical or medical treatment, or parents may require just that moral fillip and encouragement which comes from contact with those who are trained to deal with domestic problems.\n\nMagisterial Comments.\nToo frequently of late have Magistrates felt called upon to express in public the opinion that the case before them been the worst they have dealt with. Looking over some of the stories of child suffering which have led to these utterances there is no reason to quarrel with what has been said. Brutality, neglect of children in the worst form, make painful reading. Some people refuse to read them at all and some are induced to believe such things really do not exist. In a recent case an Inspector found a seven-months-old child resembling a living skeleton, huddled up in a bundle of filthy rags. The house was indescribable, and other children were running about naked. If such a picture could be transferred to the cinema screen the majority of audiences would declare it to be a gross fabrication. The Society labours under the disadvantage that it cannot put its actual cases before the public. If it could, and if the public only saw the transformations it is able to bring about, there would be little need to press the appeal for subscriptions. A seven-months-old child resembling a living skeleton is a picture of fact. That is why Magistrates have been moved to public protests from the Bench against inhumanity.\n\n\"Worst Cases.\"\nIt would be an excellent tonic to public opinion if, in towns where these statements are made, something could be done to follow them up. Why not a town's meeting for friends of the Society to take advantage of on a really large scale? Here is an opportunity to keep alive the public conscience by enlisting the support of the public at large. Let the people know that other cases of a similar character may take place unless something is done, let them realise they can help to prevent them, and let them be made to understand that these \"worst\" cases are associated with long-continued suffering and utter helplessness on the part of children to protect themselves. In the direction of a wider knowledge is to be found the means of preventing cruelty—and the hope of children.\n\nAPRIL, 1930.\n\nTHE CHILD'S GUARDIAN.\n\nTHE CANAL BOATS BILL.\nAs indicated in the last issue of THE CHILD'S GUARDIAN, the Canal Boats Bill has been passing through its Committee stage. In pursuance of the promises made by the promoters of the Bill at the Second Reading, various amendments have been made to the Bill in deference to opinions expressed in different parts of the House. The Bill, as has been explained, is a non-party measure; in the absence, through continued illness, of Mr. Harry Gosling, who introduced it, it has been ably supported in its subsequent stages by Sir Donald Maclean and the Duchess of Atholl. The Bill will be presented to the House for Third Reading in the following form:\n\nA BILL\n\nTO\n\n[AS AMENDED BY STANDING COMMITTEE B]\n\nAmend the Canal Boats Acts, 1877 and 1884, and the Education Act, 1921, so far as it relates to children on canal boats. BE it enacted by the King's most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:\n\n1. Subject as hereinafter provided, on and after the first day of January, nineteen hundred and thirty-two, no child over the age of five years and below the age at which, under the law for the time being in force, his parents cease to be under an obligation to cause him to receive efficient elementary instruction, shall reside in a canal boat except—\n\n(i) during the period between the last school hour in any week of the school which the child is attending and the first school hour of that school in the following week; and\n\n(ii) during the period between the end of any school term of the school which he is attending and the beginning of the next school term of that school: Provided that the residence of a child in a canal boat during any period as regards which a registered medical practitioner certifies that in the interests of his own health or the health of other children he ought not to attend school shall not be deemed to be a contravention of the provisions of this section.\n\n2. On and after the first day of October, nineteen hundred and thirty-one, no woman, or child below the age at which under the law for the time being in force his parents cease to be under an obligation to cause him to receive efficient elementary instruction, shall reside in any canal boat while it is being used for the conveyance of manure, night soil, or refuse, or any other foul or offensive cargo.\n\n3(1) For the purposes of the Education Act, 1921, a child who, immediately before the first day of January, nineteen hundred and thirty-two, or the date on which he attains the age of five years, whichever date may be the later, has no home other than a canal boat, shall, until he commences to attend a school within the area of another local education authority, be deemed to be resident in the area of that local education authority whose area includes the place to which the boat is registered as belonging.\n\n(2) As from the first day of January, nineteen hundred and thirty-two, the foregoing provisions of this section shall have effect in substitution for the provisions of section fifty of the Education Act, 1921 (which relates to the application of that Act to children in canal boats).\n\n4(1) If the parent of a child resides in a canal boat, the principal teacher of any school at which that child attends may and, on being requested so to do, shall issue to the parent at the end of any school term a certificate stating that the child has attended the school during that term and naming the last day of the term and the first day of the next school term; and, in any proceedings under this Act, a document purporting to be a certificate so issued shall be evidence of the facts stated therein.\n\n(2) This section shall come into operation on the first day of December, nineteen hundred and thirty-one.\n\n5. If the master of a canal boat permits any child to reside in that boat in contravention of any provisions of this Act he shall be liable on summary conviction—\n\n(a) in the case of a first offence, to a fine not exceeding forty shillings; and\n\n(b) in the case of a second or subsequent offence, to a fine not exceeding five pounds or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding one month.\n\n31\n\n6. This Act may be cited as the Canal Boats Act, 1930, and shall be construed as one with the Canal Boats Acts, 1877 and 1884, and those Acts and this Act may be cited together as the Canal Boats Acts, 1877 to 1930.\n\nOBITUARY.\nVery great sympathy will be extended to Sir Edward and Lady Henry on the death of their only son, Mr. Edward Henry, who has just passed away, following a severe attack of pneumonia, at the early age of twenty-two. Sir Edward, who is well remembered as Chief Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police for many years, has been a member of the Society's Central Executive Committee since 1918. His colleagues on the Committee have intimated to him the profound sympathy of the Society.\n\nMiss England.—The older friends of the Society in the country will regret to learn of the death of Miss England, who was one of the speakers and organisers for the Society in its earlier days. Retiring from that position in 1914, Miss England had lived since at Bromley, Kent, where she continued her interest in the Society's work connected with the local Branch.\n\nEx-Inspector H. Warlow has died at Westcliff-on-Sea. Mr. Warlow served as an Inspector of the Society for twenty years, during which period he was stationed successively at Leeds, East London, Hackney and Hampstead. Throughout his record was a conspicuously good one and he will be well remembered by friends in most parts of the country where he was employed.\n\nMiss Collison, for many years Hon. Secretary to the Margate Ladies' Committee.\n\nMrs. Davison, Hon. Secretary to the Ormeau (Belfast) Ladies' Committee.\n\nMrs. Dowson, a collector in the Coundon district since the formation of the committee.\n\nMr. J. F. L. Hardy, Hon. Correspondent at Marlborough.\n\nMr. J. Dalby Hobson, who was Branch Hon. Secretary for Maidstone from 1916 to 1923.\n\nMrs. Parson, President of the Haslemere Ladies' Committee.\n\nDr. Whitaker, Hon. Correspondent at Evershot.\n\nMrs. J. D. Wolff, President of the Harrow Weald Ladies' Committee.\n\nSo clean were the children the second time he called, that an Inspector failed to recognize them, and had to ask the parents whose they were. Before his first visit the bedrooms had not been cleaned for weeks. The house is now clean from top to bottom, and six children are the happier for it.\n\nAfter a woman's conviction and sentence for child neglect, she let it be known that she had left her three young children alone in one room ill in bed. The Inspector at once proceeded a distance of fifteen miles to the home, and there found a girl of eight ill in bed, and her younger brother and sister, aged three and five, running about the streets in a dirty condition. Steps were at once taken to help the children.",

        "content_text": "32\n\nTHE CHILD'S GUARDIAN.\n\nCHILDREN'S SUNDAY.\n\nISLE OF WIGHT. Children's Sunday was again celebrated in the Isle of Wight on March 2nd, and, as in former years, was most successful. The Society's claims were voiced from the pulpits of no less than seventy-eight places of worship throughout the Island during the day, and the publicity thus given to the work will be invaluable. In the morning Mr. J. T. Griffiths occupied the pulpit at Garfield Road Wesleyan Church, Ryde, and a well-attended Mass Meeting was held at night at the Town Hall, Ryde, under the patronage of the Hon. L. Mabel Gough-Calthorpe and Admiral of the Fleet the Hon. Sir Somerset A. Gough-Calthorpe. The Mayor presided over the gathering, and was supported by a number of Clergy and Ministers of the district. Miss N. M. A. Carey, the indefatigable Hon. Secretary to the Ryde Ladies' Committee, was again responsible for the arrangements, and is to be warmly congratulated on them.\n\nWATFORD.\n\nThe first Children's Sunday at Watford was celebrated on March 2nd, when references to the Society's work were made in a number of places of worship in the town and district. It is to be hoped that this initial effort will result in Children's Sunday becoming an annual feature in the activities of the Branch. The Society's thanks are due to Mr. H. Minton, the energetic Hon. Secretary, for his kindness in connection with the arrangements.\n\nGRATIFICATION.\n\nThis month sees the commencement of the Flag or Flower Day Street Collection season. Many friends have their arrangements well in hand, while those of others only await confirmation of the dates from the authorities.\n\nIt is very pleasing and encouraging to find that a number of Committees have responded to the appeal made in the December issue of this paper, and are arranging this form of collection for the first time in their respective areas. Grateful thanks are expressed to them and to all friends who are continuing this most lucrative method of augmenting the Society's funds. The opportunity is still open to those in the smaller towns and villages where applications for efforts of this nature are not so numerous to apply to their local authorities for sanction to hold Flag or Flower Day Collections. An appeal is, therefore, made that consideration be given to this form of effort.\n\nThe expenses of a Flower Day are negligible compared with the financial benefit accruing. All material is supplied from the Central Office, and full information will gladly be sent to anyone willing to arrange such an effort.\n\nCINEMA FILMS.\n\nThe Society's new film is now available for exhibition purposes, and we shall be most grateful if our friends throughout the country can prevail upon the proprietors of the cinemas in their districts to exhibit same, and if possible permit a collection to be made in aid of the Society's funds.\n\nThe film effectively illustrates the work of the Society, and is a considerable advance upon previous productions. Instead of being \"still-life\" photographs, the pictures are actual cinematograph pictures and make a very strong appeal.\n\nThe film is 445 feet long and takes about six minutes to show. Where it is possible to obtain consent to exhibit the film we should be glad if early intimation could be given of the dates and whether a collection is to be taken, for which purpose special collecting boxes will be sent.\n\nIn addition to the film mentioned above, the Society has two copies on sub-standard film (16 mm. size) for use in \"Kodascopes,\" Ensign \"Silent Sixteen,\" and many other home projectors. These are available to anyone interested in the Society's work who has the necessary apparatus for projection. It is an excellent way of seeing in the home what the Society is doing on behalf of children.\n\nAPRIL, 1930.\n\nTHE HOME IN THE FIELD.\n\nIn the heart of rural Essex, two miles from the main road and in the middle of an area nearly three miles from any lane, an Inspector had to surmount various difficulties before he could relieve the children whose case he had gone to investigate. Heavy rains had rendered road, path and field almost impassable. Twenty yards inside the first field the bicycle wheels became clogged with mud. The Inspector then had to carry it through deep mud and clay and over ditches and stiles. Practically cut off in the winter from village and town alike, this almost inaccessible house was found to be occupied by a farm labourer whose weekly earnings were 30s., out of which he paid 6s. in rent. The two children were delicate, their heads were \"crusted with dirt,\" and they presented every appearance of neglect. The Inspector attributed the condition of things generally to the ignorance of the mother, whose own state of health prompted him to secure the interest of the District Nurse, that she might come into town for the birth of her baby. Having rendered practical service to the children, the Inspector cycled nine miles to the railway station, covered in mud, \"as if,\" he reports, \"he had been engaged all day digging trenches in the clay.\" A passenger, noting the Inspector's clay-covered clothes, remarked: \"I thought your Society only dealt with children in towns.\" There cannot be many who entertain this opinion—if so, this case will help to correct it.\n\nAFTER FORTY YEARS.\n\nOne\n\nThe Certificate of Merit awarded by the Central Executive Committee to Mr. Reuben Saunders, of Leeds, in recognition of his long and valued services on behalf of suffering children, has just been presented to him by the Leeds Branch Hon. Secretary, Mr. Crawford, in the presence of the Workpeople's Committee and members of the Branch Executive Committee. Mr. Saunders has retired under the age-limit after serving the Society for forty years, the last nineteen of which have been spent as Clerk-in-charge of the Leeds office. Both Mr. and Mrs. Saunders have done valuable work in the City and district, and warm tributes were paid to both. The Chief Constable of the City (Mr. R. L. Matthews) and the Medical Officer of Health (Dr. Jervis) sent expressions of their appreciation of Mr. Saunders's efforts for the children of the City, and Mr. Crawford voiced the thanks of the many friends of the Society, and regret at the severance.\n\nMr. Crawford told how he had been closely associated with Mr. Saunders nearly the whole of the time he had been in Leeds, and recalled his own appointment as Branch Hon. Secretary in 1912, \"when the N.S.P.C.C. was not very popular in Leeds, and it was hard to raise enthusiasm.\" Referring to the formation of the Leeds Workpeople's Committee, Mr. Crawford said Mr. Saunders had done some of his best work in connection with this body. He had been its guide, its philosopher and friend, ever ready with his experience and advice, and had not spared himself in long and strenuous hours of labour in connection with the task the Workpeople's Committee took into its hands, and in raising very large sums of money by means of Flower Days and other efforts. Thanks largely to this Committee, said Mr. Crawford, there were now three Inspectors as against two seventeen years ago. During these years public interest had increased greatly, the Society enjoyed the confidence of Magistrates and public officials, and the Branch Executive was now well attended, and keen interest was shown in the work. In conclusion, said Mr. Crawford, \"may I add a personal note? I feel to-night I am saying 'good-bye' to a fellow-worker who has been associated with me for many years. Mr. and Mrs. Saunders will leave us with our sincere wishes for their welfare, and I hope they have before them many years of happiness and contentment.\"\n\nMr. Saunders, in his reply, said his work had been one of love, and but for the help of his wife in the early days he could not have carried it to a successful conclusion.\n\nPublished by WILLIAM J.

SOCIETY FOR THE PROTECTION\n\nOF CHILDREN.\n\nINAUGURATION MEETING IN CITY HALL.\n\nVOTE OF $3,000 GRANT-IN-AID INCLUDED IN\n\nTHIS YEAR'S BUDGET.\n\nTHE MUI-TSAI QUESTION BROUGHT UP AGAIN.\n\nA very large number of persons, European and Chinese, attended the inaugural meeting of the Hong Kong Society for the Protection of Children yesterday in the City Hall.\n\nOn a rough estimate there were at least 400 in the room. The meeting was concerned solely with business, the election of officers, etc., after the proposal for the constitution of the Society had been put forward by His Excellency, Sir Cecil Clementi, K.C.M.G., and warmly adopted.\n\nIn the course of his speech His Excellency referred to the vexed mui tsai question, repeating his previously expressed opinion that registration of mui tsai would not to any great extent help to improve their condition, and his belief that these girls were as a rule better off with their employers than in their own homes.\n\n\"The Hong Kong Government,\" His Excellency went on, \"attaches so much importance to this matter (of the protection of children) that a vote has been included in this year's budget for a grant-in-aid of $3,000 to the Hong Kong Society for the Protection of Children.\"\n\nThe Society, he said, entered on its career with the best wishes of the Hong Kong Government and with the support of all citizens of the Colony.\n\nWe have since been informed that H.E. the Governor and Lady Clement wish it to be announced that they have become life members of the Hong Kong Society for the Protection of Children.\n\nFULL GOVERNMENT SUPPORT.\n\nGOVERNOR'S SPEECH.\n\nIn explaining the aims and objects of the Society H.E. the Governor spoke as follows:-\n\nI rejoice that a Society for the Protection of Children is this day to be established in Hong Kong, and I am very glad to be present at the constituent meeting this afternoon. The Society is to be known as the Hong Kong Society for the Protection of Children, and its aims are as follows:\n\n(1) To protect children and young persons by preventing, removing, or mitigating any injustice done to them; to safeguard their morals; to prevent any act which causes or is likely to cause them unnecessary suffering or injury to their health; and generally to protect the interests of children.\n\n(2) To take all necessary steps for the enforcement of any existing law for their protection or in their interests, and to advocate and promote any amendment of any law which may be considered desirable for their protection or in their interests.\n\n(3) To take such steps by written or printed statements, public meetings, or otherwise, as may be deemed expedient, for the purpose of educating the public generally in the interests of the welfare of the young.\n\n(4) To provide and maintain an organization for the above objects.\n\n(5) To do all other such lawful things as are incidental or conducive to the attainment of the above objects.\n\nThe Mui Tsai Question. As you are doubtless aware, a Society with similar objects exists in the United Kingdom, and it is most desirable that a Society of this kind should also be established in Hong Kong; for there has been considerable agitation, both here and in England, concerning cases of cruelty to children which have come to light in this Colony and particularly on the subject of mui tsai. The matter has been ventilated freely in the House of Commons, and the Secretary of State for the Colonies has directed the registration of mui tsai in this Colony. As most of you know from printed papers already published, I do not myself believe that registration of mui tsai will to any great extent help to improve their condition. My own opinion is that mui tsai are as a rule well treated, and much better off with their employers in this Colony than they would be with their parents, who often live in China under conditions of terrible hardship and privation.\n\nChinese Love for Children.\n\nI am fully persuaded that the Chinese are as fond of their children as any other people in the world, and that Chinese parents love their children as much as English parents. It is seldom the desire for money which induces Chinese parents to part with their children. The alternative may quite well be starvation. But unfortunately, here in Hong Kong, as also in England, there exist men and women who are so lost to all feelings of human kindness that they will maltreat children who are in their power. It is on this account that a Society for the Protection of Children is necessary in England, and for the same reason such a Society is also required in Hong Kong. The Hong Kong Government attaches so much importance to this matter that a Vote has been included in this year's Budget for a grant-in-aid of $3,000 to the Hong Kong Society for the Protection...",

I am certain that, if the need should arise, the Legislative Council would be prepared to increase that Vote.\n\nChinese Support of Movement.\n\nIt is a source of immense satisfaction to me that the most prominent members of the Chinese community in this Colony, and particularly the members of the District Watch Committee and the three Chinese members of the Legislative Council, have devoted all their energy to forming this Society. The drafting of the Constitution of the Society, which is to be put before this meeting, was very largely the work of Dr. Tso, and with him was associated in this task Mr. T. M. Hazlerigg, who was a secretary of the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children in England, and whose knowledge of the working of the home Society has been and will, I am sure, continue to be a great help to the Hong Kong Society.\n\nThis Society enters on its career with the best wishes, not only of the Hong Kong Government and the Hong Kong Legislative Council, but with the support of all citizens of this Colony, no matter to what community they belong. It has many difficulties before it; but I have no doubt at all that these difficulties will be overcome, and I am very confident that the work of this Society will be more helpful in protecting mui tsai and in watching over the welfare of children in this Colony than will be the methods of official registration at present relied upon.\n\nI wish the Society all possible success, and I shall watch its progress with the keenest interest, wherever I may be.\n\nI now call upon the Hon. Sir Shou-son Chow to move the resolution, standing in his name, for constituting the Hong Kong Society for the Protection of Children.\n\nHis Excellency's speech was then translated into Chinese by Mr. T. N. Chau.\n\nSociety Formed.\n\nThe Hon. Sir Shou-son Chow then moved: \"That the Hong Kong Society for the Protection of Children be constituted.\" The Hon. Mr. J. P. Braga seconded the proposal which was carried unanimously.\n\nThe Hon. Sir Shou-son Chow proposed and the Hon. Mr. E. R. Hallifax seconded, that the Constitution of the Society as printed be adopted.\n\nThe First Patrons.\n\nThe Hon. Sir Shou-son Chow then proposed that the first patrons of the Society should be His Excellency and Lady Clementi.\n\nSir Cecil Clementi said in reply: I thank you sincerely for having elected my wife and myself to be the first patrons of the Hong Kong Society for the Protection of Children.\n\nI now propose that the Hon.

        "content_text": "Enclosure No. 1.\n\nExtract from the Hong Kong Daily Press of January 22, 1930.\n\n27\n\nH.K. SOCIETY FOR THE PROTECTION\n\nOF CHILDREN.\n\nINAUGURATION MEETING IN CITY HALL.\n\nVOTE OF $3,000 GRANT-IN-AID INCLUDED IN THIS YEAR'S BUDGET.\n\nTHE MUI-TSAI QUESTION BROUGHT UP AGAIN.\n\nA very large number of persons, European and Chinese, attended the inaugural meeting of the Hong Kong Society for the Protection of Children yesterday in the City Hall. On a rough estimate there were at least 400 in the room.\n\nThe meeting was concerned solely with business, the election of officers, etc., after the proposal for the constitution of the Society had been put forward by His Excellency, Sir Cecil Clementi, K.C.M.G., and warmly adopted.\n\nIn the course of his speech His Excellency referred to the vexed mui tsai question, repeating his previously expressed opinion that registration of mui tsai would not to any great extent help to improve their condition, and his belief that these girls were as a rule better off with their employers than in their own homes.\n\n\"The Hong Kong Government,\" His Excellency went on, \"attaches so much importance to this matter (of the protection of children) that a vote has been included in this year's budget for a grant-in-aid of $3,000 to the Hong Kong Society for the Protection of Children.\"\n\nThe Society, he said, entered on its career with the best wishes of the Hong Kong Government and with the support of all citizens of the Colony.\n\nWe have since been informed that H.E. the Governor and Lady Clement wish it to be announced that they have become life members of the Hong Kong Society for the Protection of Children.\n\nFULL GOVERNMENT SUPPORT.\n\nGOVERNOR'S SPEECH.\n\nIn explaining the aims and objects of the Society H.E. the Governor spoke as follows:-\n\nI rejoice that a Society for the Protection of Children is this day to be established in Hong Kong, and I am very glad to be present at the constituent meeting this afternoon. The Society is to be known as the Hong Kong Society for the Protection of Children, and its aims are as follows:-\n\n(1) To protect children and young persons by preventing, removing, or mitigating any injustice done to them; to safeguard their morals; to prevent any act which causes or is likely to cause them unnecessary suffering or injury to their health; and generally to protect the interests of children.\n\n(2) To take all necessary steps for the enforcement of any existing law for their protection or in their interests, and to advocate and promote any amendment of any law which may be considered desirable for their protection or in their interests.\n\n(3) To take such steps by written or printed statements, public meetings, or otherwise, as may be deemed expedient, for the purpose of educating the public generally in the interests of the welfare of the young.\n\n(4) To provide and maintain an organization for the above objects.\n\n(5) To do all other such lawful things as are incidental or conducive to the attainment of the above objects.\n\nThe \"Mui Tsai\" Question. As you are doubtless aware, a Society with similar objects exists in the United Kingdom, and it is most desirable that a Society of this kind should also be established in Hong Kong; for there has been considerable agitation, both here and in England, concerning cases of cruelty to children which have come to light in this Colony and particularly on the subject of mui tsai. The matter has been ventilated freely in the House of Commons, and the Secretary of State for the Colonies has directed the registration of mui tsai in this Colony. As most of you know from printed papers already published, I do not myself believe that registration of mui tsai will to any great extent help to improve their condition. My own opinion is that mui tsai are as a rule well treated, and much better off with their employers in this Colony than they would be with their parents, who often live in China under conditions of terrible hardship and privation.\n\nChinese Love for Children.\n\nI am fully persuaded that the Chinese are as fond of their children as any other people in the world, and that Chinese parents love their children every bit as much as English parents. It is seldom the desire for money which induces Chinese parents to part with their children. The alternative may quite well be starvation. But unfortunately, here in Hong Kong, as also in England, there exist men and women who are so lost to all feelings of human kindness that they will maltreat children who are in their power. It is on this account that a Society for the Protection of Children is necessary in England, and for the same reason such a Society is also required in Hong Kong. The Hong Kong Government attaches so much importance to this matter that a Vote has been included in this year's Budget for a grant-in-aid of $3,000 to the Hong Kong Society for the Protection of Children.",

        "content_text": "tion of Children, which is this day to be constituted. I am certain that, if the need should arise, the Legislative Council would be prepared to increase that Vote.\n\nChinese Support of Movement.\n\nIt is a source of immense satisfaction to me that the most prominent members of the Chinese community in this Colony, and particularly the members of the District Watch Committee and the three Chinese members of the Legislative Council, have devoted all their energy to forming this Society. The drafting of the Constitution of the Society, which is to be put before this meeting, was very largely the work of Dr. Tso, and with him was associated in this task Mr. T. M. Hazlerigg, who was a secretary of the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children in England, and whose knowledge of the working of the home Society has been and will, I am sure, continue to be a great help to the Hong Kong Society.\n\nThis Society enters on its career with the best wishes, not only of the Hong Kong Government and the Hong Kong Legislative Council, but with the support of all citizens of this Colony, no matter to what community they belong. It has many difficulties before it; but I have no doubt at all that these difficulties will be overcome, and I am very confident that the work of this Society will be more helpful in protecting mui tsai and in watching over the welfare of children in this Colony than will be the methods of official registration at present relied upon.\n\nI wish the Society all possible success, and I shall watch its progress with the keenest interest, wherever I may be.\n\nI now call upon the Hon. Sir Shou-son Chow to move the resolution, standing in his name, for constituting the Hong Kong Society for the Protection of Children.\n\nHis Excellency's speech was then translated into Chinese by Mr. T. N. Chau.\n\nSociety Formed.\n\nThe Hon. Sir Shou-son Chow then moved: \"That the Hong Kong Society for the Protection of Children be constituted.\"\n\nMr. J. P. Braga seconded the proposal which was carried unanimously.\n\nThe Hon. Sir Shou-son Chow proposed and the Hon. Mr. E. R. Hallifax seconded, \"that the Constitution of the Society as printed be adopted.\"\n\nThe First Patrons.\n\nSir Cecil Clementi said in reply: I thank you sincerely for having elected my wife and myself to be the first patrons of the Hong Kong Society for the Protection of Children. I now propose that the Hon. Sir Shou-son Chow, senior Chinese member of the Legislative Council, should be elected to be the first President of this Society, deeply grateful to my friend, Sir Shou-son, for consenting to be nominated to this post.

There are at present two ferry systems.\n\n1. \n(a) The \"**Star**\" Ferry, exceptionally well profitable, run, and comfortable and extremely busy. (Nearly 11,000,000 passengers a year). The pressure of passengers allows no space for vehicles and the landing points in any case are unsuited to the piers required for vehicles ferried. This service will hardly permit the use of larger boats than are now employed, or of more frequent running.\n\n(b) The Harbour and Godown Company (allied with the \"**Star**\" Ferry Company) runs a motor car service consisting of a lighter with crane and cradles, each motor car having to be separately put aboard and lifted out at the other end. It carries 4 to 6 motor cars at a time and in its present primitive form is not capable of serious expansion. In 1929 it carried approximately 6,000 cars, 350 trucks, 260 motor-cycles and 300 ponies.\n\n2. The Yaumati Ferry runs from two points on the Island (Queen Victoria Street Wharf and Western Market) to three points on the Kowloon side. In 1928 its passengers numbered over 22,000,000. The whole system is described as \"chronically crowded\". This also is a very profitable concern.\n\nThe Government have come to the conclusion that the time has come for relieving the present inadequate arrangements by the provision of a",

The cost of the additional construction necessary if it were substituted, is estimated at $250,000 making a total of $800,000 for the work on the Island. On the Kowloon (mainland) side re-construction work has already been begun at two terminal points (Shamshuipo and Mongkoktsui). At another major terminal point (Youmati) an immediate expenditure of $110,000 is required if it is to continue to be used as a ferry pier. The cost of the proposed vehicular ferry pier is estimated at $500,000, which would release for public purposes the existing pier without incurring any additional expenditure.\n\nThe additional expenditure therefore of adopting the new plans would amount to $640,000, viz., $660,000 necessary for renewals and re-construction, on a basis of the existing system as against $300,000 on the basis of the proposed re-organisation.

The issue of a loan will be necessary in the comparatively near future (the inference is sometime next year) to pay for water works, extensions, the completion of the aerodrome and, if approved, the construction of the ferry piers and possibly, if that course is decided upon, the construction of the ferry boats, the last costing about £56,250 ($97,500), $750,000 in addition to the $300,000 for the piers. As this project was included in earlier correspondence amongst the schemes for which Hong Kong might ask for assistance from the Colonial Development Fund, I have...",

        "content_text": "## discussed it with Mr. Freeston\n\ndiscussed it with Mr. Freeston, who tells me that it would appear a suitable scheme for submission to the Advisory Committee, and that the sort of assistance which could probably be given would be a free grant of the interest for five years on the capital cost of the work. The C.O. does not in this despatch mention the possibility of such assistance from the Fund. There is to my mind little room for doubt that the construction of the new piers and the consequent re-organisation of the ferry system appear essential if the development of the Colony is not to be stifled, but scarcely tolerable conditions under the existing system. \n\nBefore approving the course proposed by Mr. Southorn, I suggest that we consult Mr. Freeston more fully with a view to suggesting to the Governor that he should submit in the detailed form required by the Colonial Development Advisory Committee an application for assistance from the Fund in respect of these works of harbour development.\n\n(M. Cale)\n\nThe scheme is one technically within the scope of the Act. The objections I see are:- \n\n(i) that it is, to the extent of roughly half, a replacement scheme, and not a scheme of development. This assumes that wharves only are constructed.\n\n(ii) that the proportion of the expenditure to be incurred in the UK will probably be small. That is not a vital consideration; but it will naturally influence the C.D.A.C. to some extent.\n\n## Objections to the Scheme\n\n(iii) inasmuch as the reasonable anticipation is that there will be ample revenue to pay the loan charges, and as the construction period will be short—say two years—the maximum assistance which the C.D.A.C. are likely to give would, I think, be somewhere in the nature of a free grant of the interest on half the loan for a period of two years—with possibly some slight margin to allow for contingencies, etc. This works out to—say—£300. The total grant is not likely to exceed—say—£500 or £1000. \n\n2. That assistance is, however, worth having? I suggest that we should ask the advice of the C.As, and meantime that we should consult Sir Basil Blackett, semi-officially. It would be inadvisable to hold out any hopes of aid until we had ascertained that the application had a reasonable chance of succeeding. In my own view, it is rather on the border-line.\n\nThe 11th June 1930.\n\n## Further Considerations\n\nBut I am suspicious about the existing ferries. Will they not have a claim to compensation? We might inquire by despatch meanwhile whether the Gov. is satisfied that the existing ferries will have no claims for compensation.\n\n## Memorandum for Sir B. Blackett\n\nAfter speaking to Mr. Freeston, I submit Memorandum based on Mr. Gent's minute of the 6.6.30 herein for reference to Sir B. Blackett.\n\nPage 8  \nPage 9  \nPage 10  \nPage 11",

OFFICE\n\nSir,\n\n4. MILLBANK, WESTMINSTER, LONDON, S.W.1.  \n19th July, 1930.\n\nI have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter No. `7284/30` of the 7th July, transmitting copy of despatch from the Officer Administering the Government of Hong Kong submitting proposals for the establishment of a joint vehicular and passenger ferry service for Hong Kong Harbour.\n\n2\\. The despatch states that there is, at present in existence, two ferry systems, namely, The Star Ferry and Yaumati Ferry, crossing the harbour neither of which is suitable for the conveyance of vehicles which are transported across the harbour by a lighter which is loaded with a crane and cradles. The Star Ferry service carries nearly 11 million passengers in a year and the Yaumati system over 22 million. These figures show the extent of the cross harbour traffic and the Companies operating the services earn large profits.\n\n3\\. The Government provide and maintain the piers from which the present services operate and the companies pay rental for their use. It is pointed out that the existing piers are inadequate for the purpose and some at least of them, which are timber structures, will require reconstruction at an early date. It is estimated that the Government will, in the near future, be faced with an expenditure of £660,000 on extending and reconstructing the existing piers, even though a vehicular ferry service is not provided. The cost of providing piers suitable for both passengers and vehicles \n\nThe Under Secretary of State,  \nCOLONIAL OFFICE.\n\nwill...",

In view of the extent to which the existing passenger services are used, the probable growth of the population in the immediate future and the increasing use of motor transport which may be anticipated, we think there can be little doubt that a suitable vehicular ferry service should be established.\n\nI have the honour to be,  \nSir,  \nYour obedient Servant,  \nW.

The objections I see are:\n\n(i) that it is, to the extent of roughly half, a replacement scheme, and not a scheme of development. (This assumes that wharves only are constructed).\n\n(ii) that the proportion of the expenditure to be incurred in the United Kingdom will--probably--be small. That is not a vital consideration; but it will naturally influence the Colonial Development Advisory Committee to some extent.\n\n(iii) inasmuch as the reasonable anticipation is that there will be ample revenue to pay the loan charges, and as the construction period will be short--say two years--the maximum assistance which the Colonial Development Advisory Committee are likely to give would, I think, be somewhere in the nature of a free grant of the interest on half the loan, for a period of two years--with possibly some slight margin to allow for contingencies, etc. This works out to-say-£4300. The total grant is not likely to exceed-say-£4500 or £5000.\n\n2. That assistance is, however, worth having.\n\n3. I suggest that we should ask the advice of the Crown Agents, and meantime that we should consult Sir Basil Blackett, semi-officially. It would be inadvisable to hold out any hopes of aid until we had ascertained that the application had a reasonable chance of succeeding.\n\nIn my own view, it is rather on the border-line.\n\nThe 11th June 1930.\n\n(Signed) J.

The suggestion has been much discussed in the Colony for a number of years and the Government in 1926 caused to be drawn up and printed a Sessional Paper on the subject, of which I enclose a copy.\n\n3. The most careful consideration has been given to the desirability of establishing a Vehicles Ferry at all, and while there are dissentients in the Colony and in the Executive Council, the balance of opinion is strongly in favour of the ferry. There is in any case no hesitation at all in believing that a combined Vehicles and Passenger Ferry with smaller boats, carrying passengers only, running between the larger boats carrying vehicles and passengers, the balance to be adjusted as experience may dictate, would be definitely a paying proposition, and that a scheme of this nature would be a proper beginning for the provision of that greater transport facility.\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE \nLORD PASSFIELD, \n&c. &c. &c.",

There are at present in existence two ferry systems, viz., the Star Ferry and the Yaumati Ferry, running across the harbour between Victoria and the West side of Kowloon, the side of the Peninsula on which the greatest development has occurred and on which it may confidently be expected to continue. The Star Ferry Company runs across the narrowest part of the harbour and its position is based on the lease of the pier at Ice House Street, Victoria. The lease was purchased as from the 1st of December, 1910, and continues in effect to the 31st December, 1949. The conditions include the sole right to run ferries between two defined points. The conditions were altered and added to after the construction of the railway in 1918.\n\n5. This is an extremely busy ferry service carrying as many as 10,753,080 passengers in a year and the nature of the service will hardly permit the use of larger boats than are now employed or of more frequent running. The pressure of passengers allows no space for vehicles and the landing points in any case are not suited to the piers required for a vehicles ferry.",

        "content_text": "# 46 \n\n## Enclosure \n\n**No.** 1928 \n\n### HONG KONG. \n### VEHICULAR FERRY. HONG KONG-KOWLOON. \n\nA vehicular ferry appears the most practical assistance to facilitate vehicular communication between Hong Kong and Kowloon. A bridge over the harbour would be impracticable. A tunnel under the harbour has been considered, the cost of its construction would be very much greater than the amount required for the provision of a vehicular ferry service. A harbour tunnel would also involve heavy recurrent charges for maintenance, ventilation, drainage and lighting.\n\nThe Director of Public Works submitted the following proposal on 20th October, 1926, which provides for a vehicular ferry service between berths at Jordan Road, Kowloon; and Murray Road, Hong Kong; the distance between ferry piers being about 1 miles. The proposed vehicular ferry route, together with the routes of other ferry services, in operation are shown on plan `A`:\n\n### FERRY PIER SITES. \n\n#### Jordan Road, Kowloon. \nThe proposed site shown on plan `B` occupies an area of about 115,000 square feet on the south side of Jordan Road and abuts on Admiralty property. Of the above area, about 95,000 sq. ft. shown coloured pink would be obtained by a reclamation protected by an ordinary type sea wall; the remainder shown coloured yellow by two projecting arms, which would form the ferry berth. The western arm of the berth would be constructed in solid blockwork : the eastern arm in reinforced concrete. The reclamation is to provide proper accommodation for traffic and a parking area for vehicles; in addition, sufficient space would be available for garages to accommodate about 40 cars and/or lorries.\n\n#### Hong Kong Site. \nThe proposed site shown on plan `C` occupies an area of about 56,000 sq. ft. at the north end of Murray Road and within the re-entrant angle formed by Victoria Recreation Club property and the Praya frontage. 30,000 square feet of this site would be provided by an ordinary type reclamation shown coloured pink. The vehicular ferry berth is shown coloured yellow and projected in a north-westerly direction from the north side of this reclamation. The proposal includes provision for a public landing place on the west side of the reclamation to replace Murray Pier which would have to be removed. To provide accommodation for traffic and a parking space for vehicles, the area made available by the proposed new work, requires to be increased by taking over portion of the property leased by the Victoria Recreation Club.\n\nThe design of the vehicular ferry berths is in the form of a 'U', spring fendering being carried round the inside in order to expedite the berthing of ferries without risk of damage.\n\nThe blue arrows shown on plans `B` and `C` indicate the arrangement for traffic control in the vicinity of the ferry pier.\n\n### FERRY BOATS. \n\nThe design of the ferry boat provides for carrying about 20 five-seat motor cars or a proportionate number of other vehicles, together with 250 third-class passengers on a lower deck; and 540 first-class passengers on an upper deck. The length of the boat proposed is 150 feet, with a beam of 38 feet which is splayed above the water line to give a deck width of 50 feet. To avoid the necessity of turning at the berths, the boats would",

The design provides for vehicles and passengers embarking or disembarking at either end of the boat. When the ferry boat is berthed, a double-deck ramp about 85 feet in length would provide facilities for traffic between the decks and the roadway. The ramp would be hinged at the shore end in such a manner as to permit the seaward end to be raised or lowered and thus provide for adjusting the outward end to the level of the boat deck, whilst the shore end of the ramp remains at the street level. The ramp would require to be operated by mechanical power as the construction of pontoons for this purpose is not practical. The steepest grade on ramps will be about 1 in 9; this would occur at low water of extraordinary Spring Tides.\n\nIt was proposed that the ferry boats should be designed for a speed of about 10 knots, i.e., a crossing including time occupied in berthing will take about 10 minutes. A period of 10 minutes at berths should be ample time for unloading and loading of boats. Two ferry boats should therefore provide a twenty-minute service. A faster service may be necessary at certain periods of the day. For this purpose, and for the proper maintenance of a 20-minute service, it is considered that three vehicular ferry boats are necessary.\n\nWhilst the cost of operating the proposed ferry service can be estimated with some degree of accuracy, the volume of traffic which would make use of the vehicular ferry is not known. In consequence, a correct estimate of receipts could not be framed; however, in order to show how the vehicular ferry service would be required to operate in order to give a satisfactory return for the first year, the following assumptions were made.\n\n(a) Twenty-minute service.\n(b) Ferry boats to ply between 6 a.m. and 12 midnight, thus making 108 trips per day.\n(c) An average of 4 vehicles carried per trip,\n(d) An average of 30 first-class and 20 third-class passengers carried per trip.\n\nOn 21st March, 1927, Government addressed the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce regarding the proposed vehicular ferry installation and invited comments on the above statement of revenue and expenditure, more particularly in regard to the estimated volume of traffic using the service.\n\nThe reply received from the Chamber of Commerce on 8th April, 1927, contained the following observations, which were framed on the assumption that the proposed service was to operate between the neighbourhood of the Central Market on Hong Kong side and Jordan Road in Kowloon:—\n\n(a) \"A twenty-minute service with three boats running continuously for 18 hours is regarded as impracticable, and allowance must be made for periodical overhaul. It is not thought that 2 boats could maintain a 20-minute schedule with cars to load and unload\".\n\nIn this connection, it has been ascertained that at Vancouver, two ferry boats capable of carrying 18 vehicles each, maintain a 20-minute service across Burrard Inlet, a distance of two miles.\n\n(b) Sets out details of vehicles transported during January 1927, viz.:— 403 cars, 9 lorries, and about 200 motor cycles and side cars, and adds \"It would seem therefore that, to start with, an hourly service would meet the needs on week days, and a half-hourly service on Sundays and holidays except during the busy hours (8 a.m.-10 a.m.; 12 noon-2 p.m. and 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.) when a 20-minute service should be instituted.",

        "content_text": "With an established ferry service the transport of motor lorries will increase and there will be a movement of cargo from points in Kowloon to Hong Kong and vice versa from door to door by lorry. Moreover private cars will be transferred in much larger numbers with improved facilities. My Committee cannot express an opinion as to the rapidity of this development and consequently the revenue to be expected. But if the growth of motor cars in the Colony is any guide then the development should be fairly rapid. Lorry transport will depend, of course, on the comparative costs of delivering cargo by that means. The frequency of the ferry service would have to be increased to meet the growing requirements.\n\n(c) The estimated number of passengers is too high, though this depends on the points between which the service will run. The Star Ferry state that their average carrying is only 52 First Class and 36 Third Class per trip. Their 3rd class fare is 4 cents against Government's proposed 5 cents. Additional data as to the location of the proposed sites for the ferry piers was supplied to the Chamber of Commerce on 17th May. A letter dated 14th July from the Chamber states:-\n\n\"The Victoria Recreation Club does not appeal to the Chamber as a suitable site and it considers Arsenal Street would be preferable for the terminus on the Hong Kong side\" and sets out arguments in favour of the Arsenal Street site and against a terminus at the Victoria Recreation Club.\n\nThe Chamber considers Jordan Road as a most suitable site for a vehicular ferry terminus and suggests that the Yaumati passenger service should come to Jordan Road instead of inside the typhoon refuge, also that the vehicular service might be run in connection with the Yaumati service with combined termini at Jordan Road and as formerly proposed at Jubilee Street. Later when development warranted it, the Chamber considers that vehicular ferries might be run from Jordan Road to a point east of Arsenal Yard, and suggests that it would welcome a conference with the heads of appropriate Departments, should Government consider the above-mentioned or other points might be usefully discussed.\n\nA conference was duly arranged, and on 19th August the Chamber reported:\n\n\"In the course of the proceedings, the relative merits of sites at the Victoria Recreation Club and at Arsenal Street were discussed. The Harbour Master pointed out that, besides the objection of distance, a route across the harbour from Arsenal Street to Jordan Road would cross the Naval Anchorage, go through a very crowded part of the harbour and interfere with the operation of the Star Ferry at Kowloon Point. After some discussion, it was agreed that Arsenal Street would not be a suitable site.\n\nIt was further pointed out that the objections to a site at Arsenal Street applied with almost equal force to a site at the Victoria Recreation Club. In addition, it was considered undesirable to concentrate in the centre of the City all the cross-harbour lorry traffic.\n\nIt was agreed in further discussion that it would be desirable to keep in view the possibility of an eventual need for two vehicular ferry systems across the Harbour, having regard to the wide distance separating the Western district from the areas of development eastward. The sites of the first ferry piers to be built should be so selected as not to prejudice satisfactory arrangements for two systems. A point beyond Causeway Bay can be connected with Hung Hom by a route measuring only 1.34 miles.\n\nA ferry between Jordan Road and the Western district of Hong Kong should obviously come first, and particularly as it is thought that eventually a second ferry may be required, the Chamber is of opinion that the Hong Kong terminus should be west of Blake Pier, giving a route to Jordan Road of 1.57 miles, as compared with 1.67 miles from the Victoria Recreation Club, and 2.04 miles from Arsenal Street. Such a route would least interfere with other traffic and be free from the objections mentioned in regard to the other sites under consideration.\n\nA suggestion which commended itself to the Chamber was that the present Yaumati Ferry should be combined with the vehicular ferry. The prospects are remote of there being much passenger traffic on a ferry from the Victoria Recreation Club to Jordan Road, but a vehicular ferry from, say Jubilee Street, could conveniently take all the passengers who at present use the Yaumati Ferry, and the additional revenue received would help to ensure financial success. On the Kowloon side passengers would be taken to a more convenient terminus than the Yaumati Ferry. That a terminus at Jubilee Street will cost more to construct was, the Committee felt, outweighed by the consideration that a ferry pier is a permanent asset to the Colony, the more valuable the more suitably placed, and that the Jubilee Street site has a substantial advantage in facilitating the daily working of ferries by affording a comparatively clear route across the Harbour to Jordan Road.\n\nIn the light of further knowledge of the subject the Chamber therefore strongly favours the Jubilee Street site, and considers that any anticipated difficulties in handling traffic, owing to the narrowness of some of the connecting streets in that area, will be largely met by making two of the streets between Des Vœux Road and the Praya into one-way streets for arriving and departing vehicles respectively\".\n\nThe Chamber had nothing further to add on the financial aspect of the proposal.\n\nJubilee Street Site-Hong Kong.\n\nPlan 'D' shows a design for a vehicular ferry berth in front of the new Government offices between Jubilee and Pottinger Streets. The site occupies an area of 84,000 sq. ft. of which 67,000 is obtained by a reclamation, the remainder by two projecting reinforced concrete arms forming the ferry berth. The cost of constructing the proposal shown on plan 'D' is estimated at $655,000 (includes $80,000 for offices) as compared with an estimate of $620,000 for the accommodation at the Victoria Recreation Club.\n\nThe information which had been obtained regarding the amount of vehicular traffic which the proposed installation was likely to handle, was considered insufficient to enable a decision to be taken on a project involving such a large expenditure. In consequence, further investigations have been made, and this Government is indebted to many private individuals and public companies, in the Colony and Abroad, for the information which has been collected.\n\nCombined vehicular and passenger ferry services in America and Europe do not permit the transport of inflammable cargo, such as Petrol, Benzine, etc.; it has been decided, therefore, to exclude from consideration the transport of such goods by a vehicular ferry installation in the Colony.\n\nIt has been ascertained that cargo and freight from the Godowns at Kowloon Point or the Railway Station can be delivered into Godowns on the sea front in Hong Kong at a rate varying between $1.50 and $1.80 per ton provided the consignment to be handled is not less than about 5 tons.\n\n| Description | Cost |\n| --- | --- |\n| First cost of lorry to carry 2.4 tons | $5,000.00 |\n| Number of days worked | 300 |\n| Return trip, Kowloon Point to West Point, including loading and unloading | 3 hrs. |\n| Average load each way | 1 tons |\n| Length of working day | ? hrs |\n| Depreciation and interest per annum | $1,400.00 |\n| Say $ 4.70 per working day |  |\n| Running expenses including loading and unloading cargo | $12.70 |\n| 6 trips on vehicular ferry @ $2.00 per trip | $12.00 |\n| Total cost of loading, transporting and delivery to godowns of, say, 9 tons cargo handled between Kowloon Point and West Point via Vehicular Ferry | $29.40 or about $3.30 per ton |\n\nThe approximate cost of transporting and delivering materials by motor lorry via the vehicular ferry, between Kowloon Point and Godown on the sea front in Hong Kong would cost about $3.30 per ton, this figure includes for about 1.4 miles land transport on Hong Kong side...",

        "content_text": "# \n## B\n\nIt will be observed that the cost of transporting materials via a vehicular ferry is influenced considerably by the ferry fare. Should this be fixed at $1.00 per trip, the cost per ton would be reduced from $3.30 to $2.60 per ton.\n\nThe relative costs indicate that a vehicular ferry cannot compete economically with the present method of cross-harbour transport for bulk cargo between godowns on the sea front.\n\nThere is considerable cross-harbour transport of goods and materials in lots of less than 5 tons; these are principally for local consumption and include General Merchandise, Piece Goods, Provisions, Wines, Tobacco and Cigarettes, Dairy Products, Beef, Mutton, Poultry, Vegetables, Fruits, Fish, Household Furniture, etc. The cost of transport on a number of the above articles is at an agreed rate per package, crate, and/or basket; in such cases, it has been found difficult to compare the costs by present methods with the cost of transport via vehicular ferry.\n\nIn cases where actual figures for comparison were obtainable, these show that the cross-harbour transport and handling of goods in small lots between premises adjacent to the harbour front is $2.00-$2.50 per ton, and when the premises are situated some distance from the harbour front, such as the Dairy Farm Co.'s stores, the cost may exceed $5.00 per ton.\n\nGroceries, Provisions, and General Merchandise for local consumption arrive by ocean steamer and are delivered into Godowns at Kowloon Point, a week's free storage being allowed by the Godown Co. A total amount of such goods in excess of 10 tons would appear to be transported across the harbour daily by various merchants in Hong Kong. Some of the merchants are of the opinion that a vehicular ferry would be a great boon, affording them much better and more economical facilities for trans-harbour distribution of goods, and enabling goods to be collected from the Godowns on the return trip, thus ensuring economy of transport with less risk of pilferage and/or damage to goods.\n\nLittle farm produce except vegetables—about 100 piculs per day—some pigs and cattle cross from the Kowloon side. Generally speaking, cattle, and pigs for slaughter purposes and the greater portion of market produce, i.e., fruit, chickens, etc., are imported by river or coaster steamer and disembarked on the Hong Kong side; the bulk of fish is also landed on this side of the harbour. A quantity of market produce and fish pass from Hong Kong to Markets in Kowloon, the amount cannot be definitely ascertained but is in excess of 25 tons per day, the present method of land transport is by coolie, water transport being effected by passenger ferry, motor boat, or other small craft. These commodities, except live stock, could be made up in satisfactory loads for vehicular transport. Whilst the greater portion of this traffic is one way, viz: from Hong Kong to Kowloon, it is probable that a transport company could undertake the transport at little additional expense over present methods, and thus relieve to a considerable extent congestion on some portions of the harbour front and in the neighbourhood of the markets.\n\nRegarding cattle and swine, the annual numbers transported across the harbour are approximately as follows:\n| Category | Number |\n| --- | --- |\n| Cattle | 6,500 |\n| Swine | 24,000 |\n\nIt is considered that the vehicular ferry could deal with this traffic in the early morning and offer better facilities than exist at present.\n\nDue to the lack of satisfactory accommodation in Hong Kong, coal yards are situated in Kowloon. At present, advantage is taken of the Praya East Reclamation for the storage of a small quantity of household coal brought from Kowloon. When the facilities of the Reclamation are no longer available, unless a berth is provided on the Hong Kong side for the reception of coal from junks or lighters, the handling of this commodity will cause obstruction of the Praya frontage. An average amount of about 10 tons of coal is delivered daily to householders in Hong Kong. The cost of distribution of coal by present methods is less than via a vehicular ferry unless the ferry charges were negligible.\n\nInvestigations would indicate that firms requiring motor transport to transact their business on both sides of the harbour are now obliged to consider the question of transport on each side independently; and to provide satisfactory transport at rush periods, it is necessary to provide more lorries than the business necessitates. A vehicular ferry would provide facilities for lorries of the same firm working in co-operation, thus vehicles in Kowloon could be despatched to Hong Kong to assist in pressure of work and vice versa.\n\nBuilding Contractors are of the opinion that, whilst a vehicular ferry would provide better facilities for the transport of consignments of cement during inclement weather and provide for a more intensive use of their motor lorries, for transport generally, the installation would not be as economical as present methods, where the cross-harbour transport of building materials is effected by junks or lighters which come alongside the Praya Roadway, the materials being transported to destination by coolies and/or lorries. The discharge of building materials on the roadway, however, causes obstruction to traffic and is undesirable. The construction of piers to provide for the satisfactory handling of building and other materials brought from Kowloon would probably result in transport by the use of these facilities costing as much as by a vehicular ferry.\n\nPart of the fire-fighting appliances of the Colony are located in Hong Kong, the remainder in Kowloon. A vehicular ferry would provide facilities for utilizing almost the full resources of the fire brigade on either side of the Harbour.\n\nA vehicular ferry would facilitate the transport of prisoners and hospital cases between the Island and mainland. An average of about 50 stretcher cases per month are transported across the harbour. The present method of handling cross-harbour patients is very unsatisfactory and would be eliminated by a vehicular ferry. It is estimated that the Fire Brigade, Police, and Motor Ambulances between them would do at least six to a dozen trips each way daily.\n\nThe proposed ferry installation would be of some service to the Post Office and the Imports and Exports Department.\n\nThere are about 1,800 private and public motor cars and cycles in the Colony. The general opinion appears to be that these vehicles would be transported across the harbour in much greater numbers if improved facilities were provided at a passage rate attractive to the owners of the vehicles.\n\nThe investigations which have been made would indicate that better facilities for cross-harbour transport are very desirable; also that the number of vehicles crossing by ferry would probably not exceed a daily average of 150, and might be considerably less than this figure if the fare was much in excess of $1.00 per trip. It would therefore appear that at the present time, a vehicular ferry would be unable to earn sufficient return to justify the cost of installation.\n\nEach vehicular ferry provides accommodation for 20 five-seater cars. This is probably in excess of the requirements of a frequent service for a number of years. Economy might be effected in capital outlay by the construction of smaller boats at a reduced expenditure, say ferry boats to carry 12 motor cars and/or lorries at a cost of about $180,000 each. Even by the application of such small economies, it would appear that this service would have to look to the passenger trade for income to ensure financial success. The V.R.C. Site is not conveniently situated to attract a large passenger trade. It is possible, therefore, that a vehicular ferry between the V.R.C. and Jordan Road would not have sufficient support from passenger receipts.\n\nThe expense of installing a service between Jordan Road and V.R.C. costs practically the same as between Jordan Road and Jubilee Street. Jubilee Street is in a more congested district than the V.R.C.; however, with the additional space made available by the proposed reclamation, it is anticipated that there would be no difficulty in satisfactorily regulating traffic at Jubilee Street in accordance with the arrows shown on plan 'D'. The berth at Jordan Road would be a convenient terminus for the Yaumati Ferry. It would therefore appear that the vehicular ferry service might replace the existing service between Jubilee Street and Yaumati and thus undertake the transport of the large passenger trade on the latter route. The vehicular ferry piers would be suitable for the accommodation of double-ended passenger ferry boats similar to the type at present used on the service between Jubilee Street and Yaumati. Such boats might therefore make alternate trips on the vehicular ferry route, and thus provide a frequent service to meet the requirements of the passenger traffic.\n\n## Estimated cost of establishing a vehicular ferry service between Jordan Road and Jubilee Street, the proposed ferry boats being reduced to provide accommodation for 12 five-seater cars only.\n\n| Item | Location | Cost |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Reclamation, Ferry piers, and offices | Jordan Road-Kowloon | $520,000 |\n| Reclamation, Ferry piers, and offices (estimates include $80,000 for offices) | Jubilee Street-Hong Kong | $855,000 |\n| Ferry Boats, No. 2, vehicular & passenger ferry boats |  | $540,000 |\n| **Total cost of Piers, Ferry Boats, etc.** |  | **$1,715,000** |\n\nMessrs. Coode, Fitzmaurice, Wilson & Mitchell—Harbour Development Consulting Engineers in their report, dated 25th November, 1924, state—\n\n\"We have given consideration to the provision of better facilities for traffic between Hong Kong and the Mainland, particularly for vehicular traffic. The only feasible method without great expenditure of money is the provision of ferry boats. There are numbers of these in existence at the present time. Some of the most important are those crossing the Thames, the Mersey, the Clyde, New York Harbour, and San Francisco Harbour.\n\nThese ferry boats carry large numbers of both horse and mechanical vehicles. That on the Thames at Woolwich is under the control of the London County Council and is looked upon in the same way as a bridge over the Thames or a tunnel underneath, and no charge is made for either vehicles or passengers. It, in fact, takes the place of a road. On the Mersey, there are several ferry services controlled by the Birkenhead Corporation and the Wallasey Corporation, and a charge is made both for vehicles and passengers.\n\nWe consider the cross traffic between Hong Kong and Kowloon is growing sufficiently to warrant the provision by the Government of a good vehicular and passenger ferry service.”\n\nPage 50\nPage 51\n- 8 -",

Which is true: but Government may be paying too high a price for the work done. It pays by the sacrifice of the control of a part of the Harbour Frontage for a long period of years - up to 1949 during which there is no power (except by resumption) to demand alterations: and it is not inconceivable that development may demand say a second Ferry from the East side of the Star Ferry Pier at Ice House Street to the East side of Kowloon. Reports made in 1913 show that we had drifted dangerously near the loss of important parts of the water front by the leasing of pier rights for long periods. In 1949 we stand to be quite clear again on the expiry of long lease periods, but a lot of work was necessary in 1913 and thereafter to remove the smaller rights which had been by way of establishing themselves almost unnoticed.

Granting a long period Ferry Monopoly with Pier Rights is a cramping of the front.\n\nFor ten years Government can only demand from the Star Ferry the use of a limited number of boats of a certain maximum size, but while stipulating that fares shall not exceed a certain maximum, may \"at any time require the lessee to reduce the said fares\". This condition seems to give Government a very wide power indeed: but it is far from being as wide as it looks, as the difficulties of enforcing it are very great. Not so long ago, Star Ferry fares were reduced from 15 cents to 10 cents, first class and if I remember correctly (I cannot find the reference and conclude that the business was transacted verbally without written record) the reduction became a matter of considerable controversy. In a point of this nature everything must turn on a Company's books: behind them a Company always can entrench itself unassailably, as there are many methods of utilising (or even concealing) profits, and it is only necessary to show a fair return to shareholders.\n\nGovernment attempts to control private enterprises by such conditions in advance have been very unsatisfactory. It is even possible to consider the whole Rents Restriction Experience from the same angle.\n\n### 4.

Although the future of Hong Kong justifies an optimistic outlook, a Company can only base its calculations on more immediate possibilities and if their terms are accepted Government will be bound for a period during which (granted a revival of trade) a much broader use could have been made of the Ferries than would be made by the provision of increased dividends to shareholders. Increased profits in Government hands could be invested as reduction of fares, without the pitfalls of conditions in advance, showing a growing return in general prosperity. The direct profits from the Ferry would no doubt be less under direct Government control than under the management of a private Company: but an enhanced total return to Government would still be available for the benefit of the Community.\n\n5.\n\nThe long leases of practically all wharves in the Colony expire in 1949, 19 years hence. A private company which entered into an undertaking of the kind contemplated in the tenders, with some $2,000,000 Capital required, would hardly be content with a lease of 19 years only: and the Star Ferry suggestion is in fact a fifty years lease of the Jubilee Street and Jordan Road sites. Just at this juncture when freedom from some of our old troubles is in sight, it seems a pity to begin tying our hands afresh.\n\n6.\n\nThe ideal solution for the difficulties of development and transport in Hong Kong occasioned by the Harbour is a bridge or tunnel.

        "content_text": "## 7\n\nIn any case, it is a financial consideration, the expense of construction in either case to be borne wholly by Government: and it is to be inferred that sufficient indirect return was anticipated to justify the suggestions. The bridge was early ruled out, but the tunnel is not yet considered an impossibility. However, it will be many years before it becomes a possibility, by which time it may have become unnecessary or of much reduced importance owing to the growth of Kowloon and the eclipse of Hong Kong Island. (I do not put this change in the Colony's centre of gravity as my own view: I cannot envisage the Island as ever being of less importance than Kowloon).\n\nThere still remains a Ferry System: and if Government could consider a tunnel, giving presumably no return, as justifiable in view of anticipated development but for the immediate capital required, it would be logical for Government to provide a Free Ferry (as a temporary tunnel or bridge) if the cost fell within practical possibilities.\n\nA free Ferry, however, has many difficulties of its own: but that need not hinder the idea of a very cheap one, say at one cent, being kept constantly in view, leading to it through a ferry paying its own way. Any such proposition would necessarily keep clearly in mind the indirect returns accruing from land sales in Kowloon, extra revenue from assessments, relief of overcrowding in Hong Kong with the consequent reduction of sanitary expenditure and perhaps costs of Resumptions: and it could all the time be arranged that the Ferry returns were just above showing a loss on the Ferry working.\n\nThe figures available justify the idea that even a Government Ferry could be run at a very handsome profit, no private... at existing charges on the Yaumati Ferry.",

That Company now pays Government some $264,000 per annum on a lease never longer than three years, and now annual only providing its own boats and all running expenses, piers only being provided by Government, and as has been already shown is in an exceedingly prosperous condition.\n\n## 8.\n\nThe new Vehicular Ferry Scheme is calculated to require $2,000,000 capital, inclusive of the construction of Piers and boats: piers being by far the heaviest item. Little better than a guess is as yet possible, but granting that optimism is justified and putting more traffic against the expense of larger boats, allowing some loss on Vehicular Traffic (which should be no more than an initial loss) and making further allowances for the extra cost of direct Government running (against which can be put at least the shareholders' dividends), it is justifiable to expect a return on a Government investment of the whole sum (including piers) of something approaching $200,000 a year. A reinvestment of the great part of this return in cheapening fares should show a further return in development as stated above of a nature which a Government would appreciate but which would interest a private company very little. The Government could anticipate development: the Company would follow it. The probable return of the whole initial expenditure in some ten years seems to provide justification even for Government taking the risks (if any exist) of the whole investment, so that it may keep an eye on the very great possible consequential advantages to the Colony as a whole.\n\n## 9.",

Perhaps the roundabouts will have to carry the swings for a time: a point that again is in favour of Government management of the whole enterprise, as no doubt a private Company would tend to starve that part of the work that did not show an immediate financial return or showed the poorer return: but I note that Messrs. Coode Fitzmaurice Wilson and Mitchell say \"We consider the cross traffic between Hong Kong and Kowloon is growing sufficiently to warrant the provision of a good vehicular and passenger ferry service.\"\n\n## 10.\n\nBut if it is considered undesirable for Government to control the whole enterprise, there is still a middle course which might combine the advantages of Government control and private management; that is the suggestion often considered that Government should build wharves and boats and should let the running privileges by tender for short periods, say five years. It is true that the conditions of the tender would not be too easy to draw up, and that expense would be incurred in the close supervision of the boats and of their upkeep that would be necessary: but nothing impossible or unpractical is revealed in the prospect, and any extra expense to Government is justified, as I have suggested above, by the reservation of opportunities for altering conditions as for fares and running, in future tenders.\n\n## 11.\n\nFailing complete Government control, this is the suggestion for which I would ask further consideration. As a separate enterprise, the Ferry Scheme in itself provides full justification for a loan to cover the cost of wharves and boats: but it is possible to go further, and to say that...",

Such disputes have long formed part of the normal routine work of consulates in South China. Reference is usually made to them in the quarterly intelligence reports, but very few are ever reported to His Majesty's Minister in Peking, and, of course, fewer still to the Foreign Office. These cases illustrate the problems and difficulties that arise out of the protection of Anglo-Chinese.\n\n### 1. Case at Amoy, 1851\n\nAt Amoy, in January 1851, there was enacted a tragedy, of which I must recall the principal incidents. A British subject of this class was foully murdered by the authorities, mainly, as I believe, because he claimed to be a British subject.\n\nThe man was himself an inoffensive person of good character, well known to Mr. Crofton Morrison, then stationed at Amoy as interpreter, and at the time referred to he was in the employ of Messrs. Jardine, Mathieson and Co. His elder brother was reputed, and probably with reason, a leading member of one of the affiliated societies, of which Amoy and its vicinity are the home; and the authorities were, I daresay, moved to action against the family in the first instance for this reason. The younger brother was seized early one morning, in or near his home, and carried to the Taotai's yamen. Our consul, Mr. Sullivan, on learning of his arrest, immediately proceeded to the yamen and insisted on his production, but in vain. After some hours of expostulation he returned to the consulate, and almost as he re-entered it a chair was set down at the door containing the corpse of the man he had endeavoured to save. He had been beaten to death in the yamen.\n\nNo redress was ever obtained for this outrage. The case was referred to Lord Palmerston, who replied to the effect that, if they would have the protection of the British Government, they must adopt a costume that would leave their nationality in no doubt.\n\n### 2. Practice at Amoy, 1866\n\nChinese frequently come to this port from the Straits supplied with a paper under the seal of the Resident Counsellor at Singapore, stating (Name of Chinese). An inhabitant of Singapore, Penang or Malacca, as the case may be, proceeds to the ports of China, and is entitled to protection as a British subject. These men present their passes at this office, and have hitherto been registered on the strength of such as British subjects at Amoy. After registering themselves at the consulate office, these so-called British subjects settle in the neighbouring country at a distance from the port among their relations, marry wives and own property, and when in trouble with the country people or authorities they rush to the consulate for protection. This style of thing has led, as you may imagine, to repeated conflicts between the consuls at Amoy and the mandarins, the latter claiming these people as Chinese and beyond foreign jurisdiction.\n\nBut, if they get into trouble and are arrested by the authorities, they flaunt their certificates of registration in the face of the mandarins and send to the nearest consul for assistance. They are registered in the consulate, and the consul feels bound to run up the country, and with a show of naval force demand rendition of the Chinese British subjects. The mandarins come to the conclusion, as there is nothing about Chinese British subjects in the treaty, that the consul has been bribed to be meddlesome in cases beyond his proper jurisdiction, and this tends to weaken his influence and prestige.\n\n### 3. Case of Fan King Sing and Kan Hing Tak, Fuchow, 1872\n\nThese two men had been registered at the British consulate at Fuchow on the strength of certificates granted by the Colonial Government of Singapore, which, however, contained no statement as to the evidence on which their claim to British nationality was based. Frequent disputes occurred with the Chinese authorities, who contested the claim of these persons to be exempted as British merchants from certain li-kin taxes levied upon Chinese. They sent a petition through the consul to the British Minister that an attempt was being made to intimidate their families in Amoy into admissions which might be used to invalidate their claim to British nationality. Sir Thomas Wade immediately requested the vice-admiral, \"without loss of time, to direct a vessel of war to each of the ports in question [Amoy and Foochow], with instructions to the commander to call with the consul upon the chief authority at these ports, and to state that he has been sent at my instance to assure himself of the security of the British subjects in question.\" He then sought an interview with Prince Kung: I told His Highness what passed at Amoy in 1851, and I added, rising as I ended the story, that if a like atrocity were to be again perpetrated upon the person of a British subject it was not to say Fuchow or Amoy, but that I would not answer for the safety of the Empire.\n\nSir Thomas Wade subsequently wrote to the Straits Government for full information respecting the two individuals in question, but no further report of the case reached the Foreign Office.\n\n### 4. Lim Ho Chen and Lim Ho Eng, Shanghai, 1882\n\nThese two men applied to be registered as British subjects at the Colonial Office, British consulate at Shanghai, and presented certificates of nationality issued by the Government of the Straits Settlements. The consul refused to register them because these certificates did not contain evidence that they were entitled under Sir E. Hornby's instructions of the 1st January...",

On admission, the patient gave a history of having been wounded in the abdomen while performing his duties as a policeman abroad. After he recovered from these wounds, his digestion became permanently affected, and from time to time, he suffered from attacks of abdominal pain and discomfort. He was unable to take sufficient nourishment to keep up his normal weight. As a consequence, his general health deteriorated gradually, and later, he began to cough and to expectorate, and incipient tuberculosis of the lungs was diagnosed.\n\nIt is obvious that as the result of the deterioration of his general condition, caused by the abdominal injuries and wounds, Dr. Robertson became liable to infection by the germ of tuberculosis. It is reasonable to conclude that although this man died of tuberculosis, this disease was brought on as a result of the wounds he received in the course of his employment as a police officer.\n\n**Felix Savy, M.B., Physician Superintendent**\n\nPage 10\nPage 11",

        "content_text": "the increasing number of new cases and at the same time adequately supervise cases on hand. There were, moreover, clear indications that the requirements of the Kowloon Peninsula were not receiving sufficient attention.\n\nAccordingly an additional Inspector, Miss V. C. Chan, was appointed and assumed duty at Kowloon on the 1st July. Up to this date the number of cases in Kowloon had been negligible, but in the first month the new Inspector was called on to deal with no fewer than nineteen.\n\nDuring July there was a further heavy increase in the number of cases on the Island and by mid-August your Committee were satisfied that, in order to secure adequate supervision of the large number of cases spread over an area extending from Shaukiwan to Kennedy Town, the appointment of a further Inspector and the division of the Island into two districts were essential.\n\nAccordingly a further Inspector, Miss A. Anderson, was appointed and assumed duty on the 1st September.\n\nThus the Society has now three Inspectors and the Colony is divided into three districts. Miss Seto has charge of Western Central and Western Victoria, Miss Anderson has charge of the Eastern Victoria and the outlying Eastern District (from Aberdeen Street to Shaukiwan), and Miss Chan charge of Kowloon and New Kowloon.\n\nIn appointing the additional Inspectors your Committee have had regard to the great number of cases of a medical nature, over a hundred and fifty in number, with which the Society has been required to deal and have insisted upon the possession of full qualifications as trained nurses.\n\nYour Committee were much concerned as to the inadequacy of the hospital accommodation available for the children of the Chinese poor on the Kowloon Peninsula. At the beginning of this year that accommodation was limited to a maximum of five beds in the Kowloon Hospital and sixteen beds in the Kwong Wah Hospital, with the possibility of further accommodation in the adult wards dependent on the demand for beds for adults.\n\nWhen therefore the Chinese Sisters of the Precious Blood approached the Society in May last with a project for instituting at Shamshuipo a Children's Hospital with thirty beds your Committee felt that this would be a valuable contribution towards meeting a very urgent need and accordingly made a grant of $1,000 towards the initial expenses of fitting out the wards.\n\nThe Sisters were fortunate in securing for their hospital the gratuitous services of Dr. MacGown and on his pointing out the urgent necessity for the provision of equipment and supplies which were beyond the Sisters' means your Committee sanctioned the expenditure of a further $800 for this purpose.\n\nAt this hospital Dr. MacGown is conducting a children's clinic thrice weekly and the Society's Kowloon Inspector attends and gives her services. One hundred and three different children attended as out-patients in the first twenty-one days. The average daily attendance of old and new out-patients is now about eighteen.\n\nYour Committee are satisfied that the hospital and clinic are performing a useful and necessary function in a district which has no other hospital, and as the Sisters have not the funds necessary to enable the work to be carried on effectively a further sum of $1,200 has been allocated for expenditure by twelve monthly instalments in payment of the hospital's accounts for medical and other supplies.\n\nIt will be remembered that the Society's first Inspector was appointed only in August, 1930, and consequently this present report must be regarded as dealing with a period of exploratory work.\n\nThe most outstanding fact gleaned from the year's experience is the extreme poverty in which many of the community are living—a poverty for which there is no organized relief.\n\nOut of the three hundred and thirty-three cases dealt with during the period under review there were forty-four cases in which there was no income at all, while in a further one hundred and sixty-three cases the family income did not exceed $4.00 per head per month out of which to provide food, clothing and lodging.\n\nIn numerous other cases this slender income was only slightly exceeded and in the majority of cases the income was of the fluctuating and precarious nature common to incomes which are the fruits of casual labour.\n\nThe high rents prevalent in this Colony are a matter of common knowledge and even the scanty accommodation which is the lot of the poorest of the poor is obtainable only at a cost which puts a severe strain on their means. It is difficult to get accurate figures, but the average cost of accommodation probably exceeds one fifth of the income.\n\nThe problem of accommodation is well illustrated by examination of the second hundred cases dealt with. In five cases the streets constituted the only lodging, in forty-five\n\nPage 10\n\nPage 11\n\nPage 12",

        "content_text": "In thirteen cases the family occupied bed spaces only, in thirty-two cases they enjoyed a whole room to themselves, while in the remaining eighteen two or more rooms were occupied.\n\n5\n\nIt may thus be said that for those who think of their daily income in terms of cents the bed space is the most common unit of accommodation.\n\nThe inevitable outcome of the combination of poverty and over-crowding is malnutrition and disease among the children and poverty and disease accounted for two hundred and seventy-one of the three hundred and thirty-three cases investigated.\n\nWhere it has been clearly apparent that the poverty of the parents made it impossible for them to supply sufficient food for their children the Society has come to their aid.\n\nIt has in one hundred and forty-one cases supplied food, this in the great majority of cases taking the form of milk preparations for those of suitable age which incidentally ensures to the benefit of the older children as it relieves the strain on the family purse.\n\nThere is no doubt whatsoever that the Society has thus been the means of saving the lives of a number of children and giving to others a more promising start in life.\n\nIn many cases children who were suffering from disease were found to be receiving no medical attention.\n\nIn one hundred and twenty-four such cases the necessary aid was secured by the Inspectors, and as the parents might be working from dawn to dark this not infrequently necessitated the Inspectors themselves taking the patients to the hospital or clinic.\n\nThe diseases most commonly encountered were bronchitis and pulmonary troubles, enteritis and dysentery, and diseases of the eyes and skin. During the hot weather many children were suffering severely from boils. In many cases doctors in charge of dispensaries asked that children suffering from marasmus might be provided with special diets.\n\nUnhappily it cannot be stated that in all cases in which the Society has been called upon for help its assistance has resulted in saving the life of the child. The normal toll of death amongst the children of the Colony is heavy but apart from this it has been found that with tragic frequency the Inspectors have only been called in when the inroads of disease or starvation have rendered the case well-nigh hopeless. A further serious handicap has been the marked reluctance of parents to permit their children to become in-patients in the hospitals even when the need was obvious and urgent, and in several cases the parents have removed the children from the hospitals before there had been time for a cure.\n\nMany parents appear to regard the hospitals as places to which their children should be admitted only when all hope of recovery has been abandoned.\n\nNevertheless cures have been numerous even in cases in which the condition of the children has encouraged little hope of success.\n\nAmong the cases of poverty have been those of several children who were destitute, homeless and either without relatives or whose relatives were wholly unable to support them. The policy of your Committee has been to place and maintain these children in institutions in which they will receive such vocational training as will enable them to become useful and self-supporting members of the community. The Society is now maintaining nine such children—details of some of the cases appear among the selected cases in this report.\n\nMuch unemployment has been encountered and in only four or five cases has the Society been able to secure ordinary employment for parents. In eighteen cases the Society has sought the aid of the police and has secured the grant of hawkers' licences and provided stock, thus enabling the parent to become self-supporting.\n\nAs was anticipated, the number of reports of acts of physical violence towards children was small, there being only ten such reports during the year.\n\nIn six instances the case proved to be one of chastisement (not necessarily either excessive or undeserved) by the child's mother—in one case the victim freely admitted that the punishment was well merited.\n\nIn only one of the six cases was any mark of violence found. In this one case the mother had over-heavily spanked a misbehaving fifteen-month-old child and had bruised him. This woman propounded the somewhat staggering doctrine that she had a perfect right to beat the child to death if she wished!\n\nThe child was found to be suffering from boils and prickly heat and to show indications of rickets and after the mother had received a sharp warning she was persuaded to allow him to go for two months to the hospital and orphanage at Shamshuipo and expressed surprise at the pleasing appearance of her progeny at the end of the stay!\n\n14",

        "content_text": "In one case an employer had caned his apprentice. He was prosecuted by the police, but the case was dismissed.\n\nIn another case there was an allegation of the beating of an adopted daughter; no marks of violence were found and the girl seemed contented and well cared for.\n\nTwo of the cases concerned mui tsai.\n\nIn one of these a girl aged twelve years, the daughter of very poor sampan folk, had been handed over to apparently equally poor sampan folk. She ran away and complained of being beaten and of receiving insufficient food. The only mark of violence on her was an old bruise on the inner side of her thigh, and this seemed most unlikely to have been caused by a blow. This girl was handed over to the Secretariat for Chinese Affairs and was returned to her mother.\n\nIn the other mui tsai case there were complaints that a girl aged fifteen was always being beaten. The matter was referred to the Secretariat for Chinese Affairs and the girl was promptly removed from her employer's custody. No marks of violence were found. She was offered accommodation in an orphanage and given time to consider this, but nothing would content her save being allowed to return to her employer. This she was eventually permitted to do under satisfactory independent guarantee for her future proper treatment.\n\nWith the exception of the two last mentioned cases, a further case in which the girl was unable to point out the house in which the alleged ill-treatment had taken place, and the case of Plaint No. 126, of which details are given among the selected cases, no complaints of the improper treatment of mui tsai have been brought to the Society's notice during the year.\n\nIn numerous cases the Inspectors have found children begging. They, and their parents when discoverable, have been warned.\n\nUnder the existing laws and in the absence of reformatory schools or proper places of detention for children there is little that can be done for these children, but in several cases the Society has been able to arrange free schooling and, where poverty has been the cause, to help the family.\n\nThe child beggars are not always the children of the very poor: many of the children of people earning decent wages take to begging. The most effective means of putting a stop to a practice which is bad for the child's morale would be for all to refrain from giving anything to these children.\n\nFive members of the Executive Committee: The Hon. Dr. R. H. Kotewall, C.M.G., Miss Rains, Mr. M. K. Lo, Father Hourigan, and Mr. Hazlerigg sat as members of the Committee appointed by His Excellency The Governor in Council to report on the measures required for the institution of Juvenile Courts. An Interim Report accompanied by a draft Bill for a Juvenile Offenders Ordinance was submitted to the Government on the 29th April, and the Final Report, with draft Bills for both a Juvenile Offenders Ordinance and Industrial and Reformatory Schools Ordinance, was forwarded on the 4th July.\n\nAs the Report has been published as a Sessional Paper and has appeared in the press, there appears to be no need to deal with the matter in this Report. The urgent necessity for the provision of remand and detention homes and industrial and reformatory schools and for enlarging the powers of the courts is clearly apparent to all who are interested in the welfare of destitute and delinquent children. It was in recognition of the urgent need for institutions such as those above mentioned that the Society in June made a grant of $250 towards the upkeep of the Salvation Army Industrial Home for Women and Girls.\n\nPending the institution of industrial schools, the Society has been able to arrange for destitute boys in the charge of the Tung Wah Hospital authorities to be taught by teachers of the Y.M.C.A.\n\nIn October, your Committee, concerned as to the prevalence of tuberculosis among the young, issued posters asking the public to refrain from the habit of promiscuous spitting on the pavements. The pavements are the playground of the children of the poor, and promiscuous expectoration endangers the health and lives of children.\n\nThanks to the efforts of Messrs. J. C. Bollard, Tang Shiu Kin, Ngan Shing Kwan, and T. N. Chau, the Society ended its financial year with a balance in hand of $27,153.54, as compared with a balance of $20,105.98 at the end of last year.\n\nWith the expansion of the Society's work there has been a corresponding increase in expenses, and the next financial year will see heavy demands on the Society's funds.",

Auditors, Messrs. Percy Smith, Seth and Fleming for their services; to Messrs. Glaxo Laboratories and The Nestle & Anglo-Swiss Milk Co., for supplying their respective preparations at special prices which effect a considerable saving of expense for the Society; to the head of the Sanitary Department for permitting the use of the Board Room for meetings of the Committee; to the Police, to the Officials of Secretariat of Chinese Affairs and to Doctors and Hospitals for their valued co-operation; and to the Press of the Colony for its interest in the Society's work and the gratuitous publication of lists of subscriptions and other matter.\n\n  \n    SELECTED CASES.\n  \n  \n    The following cases are selected with a view to illustrating the various aspects of the Society's work.\n  \n  \n    Plaint No. 73.\n    A woman sixty-three years of age whose right arm was crippled was supporting herself and a grand-daughter aged seven by collecting and selling the sweepings of sugar cargoes. She earned only a few cents a day and they frequently had not enough to eat.\n  \n  \n    \n    She was given a hawker's licence and stock and when illness prevented her hawking, food was provided.\n  \n  \n    \n    Being old and sick she has expressed the hope that, in the event of her death, the Society will look after the child.\n  \n  \n    Plaint No. 132.\n    A girl aged nine was charged with hawking without a licence. The magistrate referred the case to the Society. It was found that the father, mother and three children were living in a single room and, owing to the illness of the father, were dependent on the girl's earnings.\n  \n  \n    \n    Medical treatment was obtained for the father and the magistrate secured a free licence for him. Stock-in-trade was provided by the Society and the man is now well able to maintain the family.\n  \n  \n    Plaint No. A.15.\n    This family consisted of father, mother and two children aged eight and three years. The father had been partially paralysed for some months and was unemployed. The younger child had suffered from intestinal trouble for two months and was too weak to walk.\n  \n  \n    \n    Food was provided and a hawker's licence obtained for the mother.

        "content_text": "10\n\nThe baby became ill and the mother has to remain at home to care for it, so her wages are lost and the income is now $12 a month for five persons. The Society is supplying milk during the child's illness and the mother's compulsory unemployment.\n\nPlaint No. 157. By the death of her husband a woman was left destitute with her two children. For a month she lived by begging and was trying to sell one of the children when a neighbour advised her to come to the Society.\n\nA hawker's licence and stock were obtained for her and the family was assisted until the woman's earnings were enough for its support.\n\nPlaint No. 113.—A widow was left destitute with five children. They slept in the street at Kennedy Town and lived on alms till someone told her of the Society. Then she begged outside the Society's office so as to attract the attention of the Inspector.\n\nThe woman and two of the children were ill and all were under-fed,\n\nA lodging was found for the family and the necessary medical treatment procured. The woman was given a hawker's licence and stock and helped with food.\n\nThe eldest son, aged 13, was placed in the St. Louis Industrial School where he is learning a trade and the second son, aged 10, is attending there as a day scholar until old enough to receive vocational training.\n\nPlaint No. 173.-This was a typical case of bad housing conditions. A coolie earning about $10 a month was found living with his wife and their child aged one year in a dark and airless bed space under a stairway. For this accommodation he paid $2.30 per month. The mother was suffering from tuberculosis.\n\nPlaint No. 115. Of all those who had proper roofs to cover them the family in this case had the worst accommodation found during the year. The mother with her son aged five years and an ailing baby lived in a narrow, windowless room which served as a fuel store and also as a latrine for five families.\n\nMore healthy quarters were found by the Society and food provided and a licence and stock supplied.\n\nPlaint No. 107.-A woman and her son aged sixteen were suffering from leprosy and when the case was reported to the Society were living as outcasts in circumstances of dire poverty in a mat hovel on the shore of one of our bays.\n\n1\n\nThrough the Inspector General of Police arrangements were made for their removal to a leper colony where the Society is now maintaining them.\n\nPlaint No. 130.-The police found a boy aged ten living under a verandah in Nathan Road. He was an orphan and was living by begging from the patrons of Cinema theatres. The Society has placed him in the St. Louis Industrial School.\n\nPlaint No. 138. A boy in one of the villages was left destitute on the death of his father. He was sent to the Society by the Secretariat for Chinese Affairs and is now being maintained in the St. Louis Industrial School where he is learning carpentry.\n\nPlaint No. 126.-A girl aged thirteen stated that she had been sold as a mui tsai when a little child.\n\nThe persons with whom she was living wished to send her to Annam to a woman who claimed to be her mother. The girl denied the relationship and said she believed that she would be forced to become a prostitute. She sought the protection of the Society which is now maintaining her in an orphanage.\n\nPlaint No. 179.—This case disclosed an interesting superstition.\n\nA mother had lost four children by death in infancy. When the Inspector saw her week-old child it was wrapped up in oddments of adults' clothing. The mother hoped that by avoiding infants' clothing and always dressing the child in that of adults it might survive the perils of infancy. Under the Inspector's supervision and advice the child survives and is doing well in infant's clothing.\n\nPlaint No. 112.-In May the Central Dispensary Doctor reported that this child, aged 17 months, was suffering from marasmus and said he had little chance of recovery. He was pale and literally like a skeleton.\n\nHe was one of a family of five children whose parents' income was $15 a month. The mother and younger children occupied a bed space, the rest of the family had to sleep out in the street.\n\nThe child was put on a diet of Glaxo and is now doing finely so well that the mother has sent his photograph to the Society.\n\nPlaint No. 133. This case illustrates the difficulty which is sometimes found in persuading parents to get medical attention for sick children.\n\n20",

He found the child in a pitiable condition, undersized and covered with boils. He asked the mother to bring it to the French Hospital but she refused and the Inspector's persuasion failed.\n\nA week later the mother took the child to the Tung Wah Hospital in a moribund condition and he died within a few hours.\n\nUnder the existing laws there is no power to compel parents to obtain medical attention for sick children or to punish them if they fail to do so.\n\nPlaint No. A.40.—When seen by the Inspector a boy aged five and his baby brother were covered with boils and the baby also had fever. The Inspector took them to hospital and the baby was found to have a high temperature and remained as an in-patient.\n\nBoth were cured and are doing finely after a diet of Glaxo and emulsion.\n\nPlaint No. 136.—When, on the report of a neighbour, the Inspector visited this case she found a boy aged five very thin and pale and suffering from suppurating ophthalmia of the right eye. The disease had spread to the left eye and complete blindness was threatened.\n\nDr. Kirk, a member of the Executive Committee, was consulted and arranged for the child's admission to the French Hospital where he enucleated the right eye.\n\nThe sight of the left eye has been saved and the father has written expressing his gratitude.\n\nB\n\nThe Officers of the Society.\n\nPresident: The Hon.

K. 6\n\nIn 1930-1,208 children's bodies were found by the Police in streets and elsewhere. This compares with 1,851 in 1929.\n\n[NOTE:-It is interesting to note that throughout the last five years the majority of these dumped bodies have been those of male children.]\n\nSuperintendent of Prisons.\n\nAdministrative Reports p. L. 4.\n\n1930.-44 boys were admitted as Juveniles i.e., under 16 years of age, during the year, with sentences varying from 48 hours detention to 12 months hard labour, but only 19 were treated as Juvenile Offenders; the others in the opinions of the Superintendent and Medical Officer being over 16 years of age. In 3 cases corporal punishment was awarded by courts in addition to sentences of imprisonment.\n\nDirector of Medical & Sanitary Services. Administrative Reports, M. 9.\n\nThe position to-day is that 500,000 people are being accommodated in an area not exceeding 400 acres in extent where the streets are narrow and the houses four and five stories high. The density is 1,250 to the acre. The people are packed together in the houses like steerage passengers on emigrant ships. In some cases there are tiers of bunks placed against the walls as in the old-fashioned ships; in others the rooms are divided into cubicles or cabins each measuring perhaps eight feet by eight feet and having partitions 6 feet in height.\n\nThese cabins are not the temporary abodes of persons on a voyage but the more or less permanent homes of the people. There is little or no room for kitchens, and latrine accommodation is limited to pail closets on the roofs of the buildings.\n\nIt goes without saying that the maintenance of a satisfactory standard of sanitation under such conditions is a most difficult problem and one which cannot be solved without the willing co-operation of the people. One thing is certain: so long as buildings are over-crowded and insanitary, no amount of external sanitation will give immunity from disease.\n\n21\n\nM. 19.—The overcrowded, ill-ventilated, and badly lighted houses, combined with the expectorating habits of the Chinese lower classes, furnish sufficient explanation for the prevalence of respiratory troubles.\n\nM. 30.—The births registered as having occurred in the Colony were:\n\nChinese: 10,756\n\nNon-Chinese: 378\n\nTotal: 11,134\n\nM. 31. The number of deaths of infants under one year were: Chinese 6,180, Non-Chinese 28. If the figure of births notified represented the total births in the Colony, the infantile mortality figure would be 557.5. This figure is certainly too great, but there can be no doubt that the true rate is a high one.\n\n30",

Secretaries, H. K. S.P.C.\n\nSt. George's Building, 4th floor.\n\nAll further steps will be taken, and expenses borne, by the Society.\n\nThe Informant's name will be kept strictly private, except in cases where malice is proved.\n\nPatrons:\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR AND LADY PEEL.\n\nPresident:\n\nSIR SHOUSON CHOW.\n\nReport for the period ending 14th November, 1930.\n\nYour Committee beg to submit their first Annual Report to the Subscribers and General Public.\n\nThe Society was constituted on the 21st January, 1930, at a meeting held under the chairmanship of Sir Cecil Clementi, K.C.M.G. Its Aims and Objects, as laid down by the Constitution, are printed on the last page of this report.\n\nThe first object of your Committee was to raise sufficient funds to admit of the Society engaging the services of an Inspector. The Government contributed a sum of $3,000.00 and by the end of April the generous response of those to whom the Society appealed for assistance produced a sum which justified the Committee in engaging an Inspector and equipping an office.\n\nIn this connection the Committee particularly desires to thank Mr. Wai Shiu Pak for his handsome donation of $10,000.00.\n\nThe Committee at first experienced some difficulty in obtaining the services of a person with the requisite qualifications for an Inspector, but in August appointed on probation Miss Seto Wai Sheung, B.A. Ginling College, Nanking, who had made a particular study of sociological matters, including child welfare.\n\nA note on the cases investigated by Miss Seto appears elsewhere in this report and the Committee feels that her work has been in every way satisfactory.\n\nYour Committee have prepared for distribution among the general public leaflets stating the aims and methods of the Society, the things which constitute offences against children according to the laws of the Colony, and what should be done by any member of the public in order to invoke the Society's aid on behalf of any child.\n\nThe District Watch Committee has kindly allowed the District Watchmen to make a house to house distribution of these leaflets.\n\n38",

        "content_text": "39\n\nH\n\nIt is anticipated that as the result of the publicity thus obtained there will be a great increase in the number of cases reported and that it will be necessary in the near future to engage the services of an additional Inspector.\n\nYour Committee feels that it is desirable for the time being to engage only women as Inspectors as it is believed that they more readily gain access to the homes of those concerned and that they are more capable of advising in matters of child welfare than men.\n\nYour Committee have given much consideration to the subject of the treatment of juvenile offenders.\n\nIn answer to questions asked by the Hon. Dr. Kotewall the Colonial Secretary stated that during the year 1929 the number of boys under sixteen years of age brought before the Magistrates was 985 and the number of girls of like age 137.\n\nIt was stated that such children under 16 years of age, while being detained at the Police Court or at the Gaol awaiting trial, were detained in company with adult offenders, and that (unless bail had been found) they were placed in the dock with adult offenders.\n\nIt was further stated that 131 of the boys and 5 of the girls were sent to prison.\n\nYour Committee feel that it is in the highest degree undesirable for juvenile offenders to be brought into contact with adult offenders whether before, at or after their trial, and they welcome the Government's acceptance of the motion in favour of the establishment of Juvenile Courts which was proposed by the Hon. Dr. Kotewall at the meeting of the Legislative Council on the 2nd October and was seconded by the Hon. Mr. Owen Hughes and supported by the Hon. Dr. Tso.\n\nYour Committee feel that, though the imprisonment of some few incorrigible juvenile offenders may be inevitable, the imprisonment of youthful offenders in general is wrong in principle. The individual's fear of prison is to a large extent a sentimental one and once a culprit has been in gaol that sentiment is destroyed for ever. Particularly must this be so in any place where the standards of living are low for a great bulk of the population.\n\nYour Committee feel that there is great danger of the mind of the youthful offender being contaminated by contact with older delinquents.\n\nYour Committee has had under consideration a Bill drafted by Mr. Hazlerigg making provision for the institution of Juvenile Courts, the segregation of youthful offenders before and during trial, the appointment of probation officers charged with the duty of supervising youthful offenders released on probation, and the substitution of custody in a place of detention to be provided under the Bill for imprisonment as now inflicted.\n\n3\n\nThe Committee has forwarded this Bill to the Government for consideration.\n\nYour Committee recognize the need for the provision of institutions wherein youthful offenders can receive industrial education and this matter will continue to receive careful consideration.\n\nYour Committee desire to express their thanks to the Government and to the Chamber of Commerce for permitting the use of rooms for their meetings; to the District Watch Committee, to the Auditors, Messrs. Percy Smith, Seth and Fleming; to Doctors and Hospitals for their valued help; and to the Press of the Colony for its interest in the Society's work and the gratuitous publication of lists of subscriptions and other matter.\n\nCases Investigated.\n\nAs mentioned elsewhere in this report the Society had no Inspector until the appointment of Miss Seto in August.\n\nThe total number of cases investigated between the 1st August and the 14th November was 27.\n\nAugust and September produced only four cases in all, but in October 13 cases were investigated and the first 14 days of November produced a further 10 cases.\n\nThe 27 cases investigated affected the welfare of 27 children and involved 49 offenders or persons advised.\n\nIn 26 cases the parents were advised or warned, and in 11 of these the Inspector arranged for medical treatment, on several occasions accompanying the parents on their taking the children to hospital. No prosecutions were considered necessary.\n\nThe Inspector made 63 supervision visits.\n\nSeven cases were reported by various hospital authorities and the remainder were found by the Inspector.\n\nThe cases may be classified as follows:-\n\n  \n    Neglect, including improper feeding through ignorance or otherwise, or neglect to obtain medical treatment..\n    19\n  \n  \n    Suffering due to poverty..\n    3\n  \n  \n    Advice sought on account of disease...\n    1\n  \n  \n    Homeless and without relatives.....\n    ...\n  \n  \n    No cases of ill-treatment or assault and no cases in connection with mui tsai have as yet been reported.\n    \n  \n\nThe ages of the children concerned were as follows:-\n\n  \n    Under 1 year....\n    ...\n  \n  \n    From 1 year and up to 7 years........\n    12\n  \n  \n    From 7 years and up to 14 years.....\n    ...\n  \n\n296\n\n40",

        "content_text": "In the 25 cases in which the family income was ascertained this was found to average $21.56 per month. In four cases there was no income whatsoever, and in a further eight cases the income was $12.00 per month or under.\n\nThe Committee, while recognising the danger of indiscriminate relief, have felt it necessary to allocate certain funds in order to make provision for relief in urgent cases where there is dire poverty. Relief will be made in kind and no money given.\n\nThe problem of obtaining proper medical attention in cases of tuberculosis which require lengthy institutional treatment is one which presents the greatest difficulty.\n\nSpecimen Cases.\n\nPlaint No. 4.—The child concerned was a girl two days old. The father had three daughters by his first wife and five daughters and two sons by his second wife. Though the father's income was good he neglected to supply adequate money for support of the family and on the birth of this baby quarrelled with the mother and threatened to give away the baby.\n\nThe Inspector visited the family on five occasions and reasoned with and advised the father.\n\nThe parents are now reconciled and the child is thriving.\n\nPlaint No. 6.—A five year old girl was found to be suffering from disease in both eyes.\n\nThe father was out of employment and the mother, who was a carrying coolie, was too busy to take the child to hospital.\n\nThe Inspector persuaded the father to take the child to hospital, accompanying him on two occasions, and after a month's medical treatment the condition of the child's eyes is much improved.\n\nPlaint No. 9.—This plaint concerned a boy baby aged nearly two years.\n\nThe child was suffering from malnutrition owing to improper methods of feeding.\n\nThe Inspector advised the mother and secured the provision of suitable diet and the child is now putting on weight.\n\n(Plaint No. 12 dealt with a similar case with a younger child with like results).\n\nPlaint Nos. 13, 14, 15 and 16.—All these plaints concerned children who were suffering from trachoma or other diseases of the eye, and who had received medical treatment.\n\nIn all these cases both parents were employed for long hours and pleaded inability to find time to take the children to hospital, and in all cases the Inspector took the children to hospital and secured treatment for them. The cases will be supervised and continued treatment ensured.\n\nPlaint No. 2. A girl aged 13 is suffering from tubercular disease of the hip and spine.\n\nThe Inspector secured her examination by Professor Digby who states that she requires at least three years' treatment in a sanitorium for surgical tuberculosis.\n\nThe requisite period cannot be spent in the Government Civil Hospital owing to lack of accommodation.\n\nEfforts are being made to secure proper treatment and in the meantime the Inspector is supervising the case and trying to keep home conditions satisfactory.\n\nVice-Presidents.\n\nThe Hon.

        "content_text": "53\n\nIn four cases of poverty, Hawker's Licences have been obtained and paid for by the Society and a sufficient stock provided to enable the parent to start business.\n\nIn two cases the Society arranged for destitute and illiterate boys to be removed from undesirable surroundings and to be placed in the St. Louis Industrial School where they will be maintained at the Society's expense until they have been fully trained in some useful trade. In their new surroundings these lads are happily settling down to elementary education before commencing to learn a trade. Members of the Executive Committee visit these boys.\n\nArrangements are in hand for placing two more destitute boys in the same institution to whose invaluable work the writers of this report desire to pay a tribute.\n\nIn a report of this nature it is impossible to give a detailed analysis of the diverse manner in which the cases have been dealt with. Each case presents particular features of its own and the only settled principle of treatment must necessarily be to do that which may seem best in the interests of the individual child.\n\nOf the 107 cases 56 have been closed, leaving 51 cases still under supervision. The necessity for lengthy supervision and continued supply of food in cases where the young children of the poor are suffering from malnutrition is obvious.\n\nJuvenile Offenders.\n\nThe Society has continued to interest itself in the subject of the treatment of Juvenile Offenders.\n\nFive members of the Executive Committee were invited to join the Committee appointed by His Excellency the Governor to report upon the measures necessary for the institution of Juvenile Courts, and this Committee has prepared for consideration by the Government draft Bills providing for the institution of Juvenile Courts and of Reformatory and Industrial Schools.\n\nUnder the existing laws there is a total lack of provision for placing youthful offenders on probation, for their segregation from adult criminals, for their custody elsewhere than in prisons, or even for removing a child from the custody of those who may have been convicted of having grossly maltreated him.\n\nBills.\n\nThese and other matters are dealt with in the Draft Bills.\n\nIt is hoped that these Bills will become law at an early date and that a new era will open for delinquent, destitute and maltreated children in this Colony.\n\nChild Beggars.\n\nAs appears elsewhere in this Report the Society has investigated a number of cases of begging by children. The child beggar presents a difficult problem to those who wish to do what is best in the interests of the child.\n\nThe existing law provides that where a child is habitually found begging a magistrate may in the case of a boy under 14 years old order him to be sent to a reformatory school or in the case of a boy under ten years old order him to be placed in the charge of the Superintendent of Reformatory Schools for the purpose of being boarded out, and in the case of a girl may order her to be placed in charge of the Secretary for Chinese Affairs for the purpose of being boarded out.\n\nAs the Colony has not, for many years, had either a Reformatory School or a Superintendent of Reformatory Schools, these provisions as to boys are ineffectual; it is hoped that this state of affairs will be remedied by the adoption of the recommendations of the Juvenile Courts Committee.\n\nThe parent of a child who has been found habitually begging, can, if the begging has resulted wholly or in part from the neglect of the parent, be fined up to $100 or imprisoned for any term not exceeding a month.\n\nOut of ten cases of child begging investigated by the Society the income of the parents was ascertained in 7 cases. It amounted to a monthly total of $72.50 for the maintenance of 17 persons or an average of under $4.30 per head per month.\n\n54",

A member of the Society obtained a hawker's licence for the woman and the Society supplied her with stock-in-trade. She is now making a living. The Society also arranged an apprenticeship for the eldest boy,\n\nThe mother of a seven-day old child died. The family consisted of a grandmother, the father and two children, and the monthly income was $15.00. The infant suffered from intestinal trouble through improper feeding and later developed bronchitis. The Society's advice and help was sought and the Inspector obtained medical treatment for the child and arranged for the supply of milk. The infant is now cured and doing well.\n\nThe Inspector found a boy begging in the street and on enquiry found that the father was not in the Colony and that the mother and her two children were destitute. A hawker's licence and stock were provided for the mother and she is now making just enough to live on.\n\nA six months old boy, the child of parents whose monthly income was $9, was reported by the doctor in charge of the Central Public Dispensary to be suffering from rickets and to require milk and osteomalt. These are being supplied by the Society.\n\nExtract from the Constitution of the Society\n\nThe aims and objects of the Society shall be:-\n\n(1) To protect children and young persons by preventing, removing or mitigating any wrongs or injustices done to them; to safeguard their morals; to prevent any act which causes or is likely to cause them unnecessary suffering or injury to their health; and generally to protect the interest of children.\n\n(2) To take all necessary steps for the enforcement of any existing law for their protection or in their interests, and to advocate and promote any amendment of any law which may be considered desirable for their protection or in their interests.\n\n(3) To take such steps by personal, written or printed statements, public meetings, or otherwise as may be deemed expedient for the purpose of educating the public generally in the interests of the welfare of the young.\n\n(4) To provide and maintain an organization for the above objects.\n\n(5) To do all other such lawful things as are incidental or conducive to the attainment of the above objects.\n\n58",

Hill on Birth Control.\n\nSURNAMES.\n\nOur Own and Other Peoples.\n\nDOWNFALL OF EMPIRES. CURIOSITIES OF ORIGIN\n\nAt the annual conference of the Sanitary Inspectors' Association at Bridlington, Sir Leonard Hill, in his presidential address, said that the sanitary inspectors' Association at Bridlington, Sir Leonard Hill, in his presidential address, said that the birth rate was now the subject of intensive propaganda among the masses of the people, and the no-child or one-child home was becoming the rule.\n\nAlthough the unskilled continued as yet to breed more than the skilled, birth-control was practised in every class of society.\n\nIn consequence, between 1921-31 the population of Great Britain had increased hardly more than in the 10 years 1911-21, which included the War, when about a million young men were killed and several millions listed and were taken away from family life.\n\nThe infant mortality rate had fallen from 167 per 1,000 births at the end of last century to 60 in 1930, but the saving so effected compensated very little for the enormous drop in the birth rate.\n\nThe annual increase of births over deaths per 1,000 living was 12 at the end of last century, and in 1929 it was under three, so very shortly the population would be stationary; the proportion of older persons increasing as children became scarcer.\n\nThree children per family were required to make good the losses and keep up the population.\n\nOne-child families meant halving the population—\n\n(By Walter G. Bell, in the Daily Telegraph).\n\n\"John ate chyldren.\" So he did, did he? A husbandman was this John; one goes out to the Fen country around Huntingdon for \"Richard ate Forty\"—a ferocious monster when at table.\n\nReading old documents from days when villeinage flourished in England, one experiences shocks like these not infrequently.\n\nThen consciousness comes that all that is meant is \"at\" or \"off,\" and the ogre is really the quite inoffensive John at Chiltern.\n\nThe other is of Ford—to find him you at the ford.\n\nSpelling was apt to vary with each clerk who wrote, and much corruption crept in.\n\nBut can one account by geography alone for \"Thomas atte Hell,\" a Suffolk man? He was the man at the hill.\n\nBARONET WITH A WHIP.\n\nFined for Striking Two \"Noisy\" Young Men.\n\nROADSIDE GATHERING.\n\nSir Christopher Furness, Bart., of Netherbyres, Ayton, Berwickshire, was fined 10s. at Eyemouth on a charge of assaulting two young men by striking them with a whip.\n\nMr. A. Carnegie, prosecuting, said that on August 14, at night, a band of young men were congregated on the road between Eyemouth and Ayton.\n\nOne started to play a mouthorgan and the others started to dance, and no doubt they were a bit hilarious.\n\nSir Christopher approached them and struck George Todd Dougal, of Eyemouth, across the back with a whip.\n\nThe others, with the exception of George Collin, also of Eyemouth, ran away, and Sir Christopher struck Collin across the face with a whip.\n\nFor the defence it was submitted that Sir Christopher was ill and that the noise had so upset him that he had impulsively sought his own remedy.\n\nThe chairman said that this mitigated very much the seriousness of the offence, but there was no excuse for Sir Christopher taking the law into his own hands.\n\nSir Christopher is 31, and the third baronet.\n\nHis father, Sir Stephen Wilson Furness, succeeded Sir Christopher Furness, who was Chairman of Furness, Withy and Co., Ltd., and Liberal M.P. for Hartlepool 1910-14.\n\nAt this juncture, Mr. White-Smith asked for Richard\n\nOur forenames are mostly much older than our surnames.\n\nWhen the Domesday Book accounts for some 283,000 inhabitants in all of England that was surveyed—it sufficed to indicate John by his place of residence, or as John the son of Richard, or very frequently John the servant of his named master; often, too, as John Sessmith, distinguished by his trade.\n\nSince names of persons are of first importance, and their indication is no longer so simple as this, whom he succeeded in 1914, was\n\nLegal Attitude.\n\nOdd that while names are supremely important in the transaction of life, the law has paid little or no head.\n\nIt will offend a man's title to his own name when there has been fraudulent misuse, but in nothing else.\n\nMen and women may call themselves just what they please, change their names as often as they like; the law is not concerned.\n\nCustom ordains that on marriage a woman shall adopt her husband's surname, signing her patronymic at birth and on the marriage register, but there is no legal enforcement of it.\n\nThe first witness called yesterday was Dr. J. Smalley, who testified that certain Japanese were admitted to the Kowloon Hospital on the night of September 26.\n\nThe first to be admitted entered the hospital at about 11 p.m. and the last one at about 12.45 a.m.\n\nIn all cases, the Police brought in the arrested.\n\nThe eighth was arrested in a hut in Po Kong Village at about midnight.\n\nHe had a wound on his head, which he said he had received from the military.\n\nWitness examined Shiro Yamashita, the boy of four, whose skull was fractured.\n\nThere were multiple injuries, and although he was conscious, he was obviously dying.\n\nNothing could be done for him and he never recovered.\n\nHe was about 60 feet from the gate of Tsang Foo Villas.\n\nThis man was arrested about ten minutes after the eighth defendant was arrested.\n\nNiyoji Yamashita, the boy of nine, had multiple injuries, his skull and left thigh bone being fractured.\n\nHis condition was very bad.\n\nHe was given medical treatment, but passed away at 1 a.m.\n\nSumiko Yamaguchi, the Japanese amah of 16, had multiple injuries including a scalp wound, while her skull was fractured.\n\nShe had many bruises all over her body.\n\nDr. Smalley then described her other injuries.\n\nHer wounds were inflicted by blunt weapons such as sticks or poles.\n\nMiyo Yamashita, the old lady, had a fractured skull, while two irregular lacerated wounds were growing up in Africa with education of the native races.\n\nAlleged Street Incident.\n\nA Chinese constable, B632, said he was on duty between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m. outside Tsang Foo Villas on September 27.\n\nWhilst he was on duty, he met with three men, of whom defendant was one, talking near the wall of Tsang Foo Villas.\n\nTwo policemen had been posted there.\n\nEn-vene Chen asked why ten\", Tsai Yuan-pei, C. C. Wu (Western Hills clique) conferred to represent China at the Fifth Convention of the Pacific Conference to be held next May in Canada.\n\nSince the institute has been designated to represent China at the fifth convention, a preparatory committee of 11 experts has been appointed to attend to all preliminary matters.\n\nMr. Ewen cites the case, in the year 1857, of a Mr. Bedbug who changed his name to Bowditch.\n\nA Satisfactory Conclave.\n\nShanghai, Oct. 22.\n\nMarshal Chiang Kai-shek and Messrs. Hu Han-min, Wang Ching-wei, Sun Fo, Li Chi-sen, Li Shih-shan, Tsai Yuan-pei, C. C. Wu (Western Hills clique) conferred yesterday morning for two hours.\n\nThe entire peace mission proceeded to the residence of Mr. Hu Han-min immediately upon their arrival and it was while there that Mr. Wang Ching-wei and the peace delegates will leave for Nanking immediately after a meeting with General Chiang Kai-shek.\n\nStatements of Defendants.\n\nThe 12 defendants made various statements to Mr. Whyte-Smith, A.S.P., and Sub-Inspector Murphy.\n\nMr. Whyte-Smith said that was all the evidence against this defendant, your Worship.\n\nHis Worship said that the evidence is such that no jury would convict.\n\nHe accordingly discharged the sixth and twelfth defendants.\n\nThe fourth defendant said he went so near to Tsang Foo Villas because he saw his brother had been injured and he went inside the house to see what was going on.\n\nThe fifth defendant, a boy of 15, said he was there to pick him up.\n\nThe sixth defendant, another boy of 15, said he had nothing to do with the murder.\n\nThe seventh defendant referred to a bandaged arm.\n\nThe eighth defendant, who was arrested in his hut that night, said he had never been out of his hut that evening.\n\nThe ninth defendant, who was represented by Mr. F. X. D'Almada, Sr., said he knew absolutely nothing.\n\nThe tenth, eleventh, and twelfth defendants made the same statement.\n\nTo Leave for Nanking.\n\nNanking, Oct. 22.\n\nMr. Wang Ching-wei and the peace delegates will leave for Nanking immediately after a meeting with General Chiang Kai-shek.\n\nCanton's Reservations.\n\nCanton, Oct. 22.\n\nInterviewed as to the reliability of the report that the Canton Government will be wound up within two weeks' time, a certain member of the Council has remarked that this is premature.\n\nThe Government is still uncertain whether the overthrow of dictatorial government will be effected, and the Canton Government must remain until this end has been attained.\n\nConditional Dissolution.\n\nCanton Army Changes.\n\nGen. Yen Yin-nai, Commander of the 1st New Division has tendered his resignation, and asked for troops to be disbanded.\n\nThe Government has decided to comply.\n\nGen. Ye will be reappointed as a staff officer.\n\nGen. Chan Chatong has decided to enlarge the Peace Preservation Corps into a brigade with Mr. Chan Chang-po as commander.—Rensha.\n\nMr. Eugene Chen.\n\nCanton, Oct. 22.\n\nAn extraordinary session of the Kuomintang C.E.C. to-day formally appointed Mr. Eugene Chen as delegate to the Shanghai peace parley.\n\nMr. Chen will take a leading part in discussing Sino-Foreign relations, particularly Manchurian affairs.—Central Press.\n\nAll the Talents.\n\nShanghai, Oct. 22.\n\nGood progress is being made by the leaders representing the various factions of the Kuomintang for the formation of the new National Government at Nanking representative of \"all the talents.\"\n\nIn this connexion, Mr. Wang Ching-wei, the Kuomintang Leftist leader, who is heading the Canton peace mission of five members, conferred yesterday morning for two hours with Mr. Hu Han-min, the leader of the Nanking Conservatives.\n\nThe entire peace mission proceeded to the residence of Mr. Hu Han-min immediately upon their arrival and it was while there that Mr. Wang Ching-wei and the peace delegates held a lengthy discussion of possible cases, but as a critic has pointed out, the name appears to have had little or nothing to do with either \"shake\" (verb) or \"spear.\"\n\nMASSAGE.\n\nMR. & MRS.

ELLIS\n\nPage 9\n\nPage\n\nNo. 342.\n\nRECEIVED\n\n9 SEP 1931\n\nCOOL, OFFICE\n\nGOVERNMENT HOUSE,\n\nHONG KONG, 4th August, 1931.\n\nMy Lord,\n\nI have the honour to refer to Mr. Churchill's\n\ndespatch No.183 of 25th June, 1921, on the subject of free\n\ncourses for Government Medical Officers at the London\n\nSchool of Tropical Medicine from which it would appear that\n\nthis Government is entitled in respect of its annual grant\n\nof £100 to free courses for its medical officers up to a\n\nmaximum of five in any one year.\n\n2. In this connection I have recently received a communication from a private medical practitioner practising\n\nin the Colony enquiring whether, in the event of the\n\nGovernment not requiring the full number of free courses,\n\nlocal private practitioners would be eligible for the\n\nbalance.\n\n3. I have been unable to trace any recent ruling\n\non the point; but a record of a visit to the Colony in 1908\n\nof Sir Francis Lovell representing the London School of\n\nTropical Medicine shows that at that time all medical\n\npractitioners whether in Government service or not were, up to a maximum of three in any one session, entitled to\n\nfree courses. It is unlikely at the present time that as\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE\n\nLORD PASSFIELD,\n\n&c.,\n\n&c.,\n\n&c.\n\nPage 10\n\nPage 10\n\nPage 11",

We have therefore considered for the vacancy candidates, without previous Colonial Service, but of those whose names are noted by us, only one has expressed a desire to be considered for the appointment. The candidate referred to is married and since preference is to be given to unmarried candidates, before inviting further applications by advertisement or otherwise, I have to enquire whether on the grounds of economy the Secretary of State considers it desirable to request the Government of Hong Kong to consider the local candidates, i.e.:- Mr. A.R. Inkster care of the Hankow Dispensary Limited, Hankow, and Miss K.N. Graveson of 22 Conduit Road, Hong Kong, both of whom have applied for the appointment, and appear to be qualified. In the event of the engagement of either of these candidates the Government of Hong Kong would save the cost of the outward passage.\n\nPending the receipt of further instructions from your Department or the Government of Hong Kong, we propose to take no further action with regard to filling the vacancy.\n\nThe Under Secretary of State,  \nColonial Office,  \nDowning Street,  \nS.W.1.\n\nI have the honour to be,  \nSir,  \nYour obedient Servant,  \n**J.

REGY\n\nSir,\n\nOn `92609/32`\n\nWith reference to your confidential despatch of the 22nd October, 1932, on the subject of the erection of a country bungalow at Fanling for the use of the Governor, I have the honour to inform you that on tenders being invited for the erection of the bungalow, the lowest figure offered for the house was $151,264, to which had to be added the sum of $11,500 for foundations already prepared. This figure was so greatly in excess of the estimates made by the Public Works Department (which were based on the only available data for Government buildings in that part of the New Territories) that I decided that it could not be treated seriously and instructed the department to call for fresh tenders at the same time making economies in the equipment of the bungalow. The lowest of the new tenders amounted to $84,031 and I was advised that no further reduction could be looked for, the main reason for the excess over the original estimate being attributed to the difficulty of inducing first quality artisans to work for normal wages at so great a distance from the amenities of town life. This conclusion was foreshadowed in the recommendation...\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE  \nSIR P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER, G.B.E., M.C., M.P.,  \n&c.,  \n&c.,  \n&c.",

In 1929 the Finance Committee of the Legislative Council approved of the erection of a bungalow at an estimated cost of $80,000. Plans were accordingly prepared and tenders were invited but the lowest tender received amounted to $102,000 and the scheme was accordingly abandoned.\n\nIn 1932 the matter was again brought forward and the Finance Committee approved of the expenditure of $100,000 on the understanding that the bungalow would be constructed on simple lines. Plans were accordingly prepared and tenders were again invited. The lowest tender received on this occasion was for $84,031 but it was found that owing to the increased accommodation which it was considered necessary to provide the total cost would amount to considerably more than the sum approved by the Finance Committee.\n\nThe matter was accordingly referred to the Public Works Committee of the Legislative Council which in considering the sketch plans for the bungalow came to the conclusion that the requisite accommodation could not be provided for an all-in cost of less than $120,000. Even so the final estimate including out-buildings, furniture and garden amounted to $143,126 and accordingly before proceeding further with the scheme I laid the whole case before the Finance Committee which agreed unanimously that no further economies were practicable and that the construction of the bungalow at a cost of $143,126 should be approved. I therefore directed that the tender of $84,031 should be accepted and the work put in hand.\n\nIt is anticipated that the sum of $50,000 provided in the Estimates will, owing to the delay which has occurred, suffice for such work as it will be possible to complete during the current year and in that case the balance of $93,126 will be provided in the budget for 1934. If, however, the work should progress more quickly the Committee has approved of a supplementary vote for the required sum being taken this year.\n\nI trust that these arrangements will meet with your approval.\n\nI have the honour to be,\nSir,\nYour most obedient, humble servant,\nthe Governor, &c.",

It appears from the enclosure in your letter No. `82718/31` of the 6th January 1932 that Moslem marriages are recognised as valid in Hong Kong law. It would therefore seem that, under the rules which have now been provisionally adopted in regard to polygamous marriages, the marriage of Ali Gulab Mallek according to Moslem rites at Shanghai is one which, for the purpose of conferring British nationality on his children, should be regarded as valid, whether Ali Gulab Mallek is domiciled in Hong Kong or in China.\n\n3.

Nevertheless, Mohamed Ali Mallek, the father, applied to the Hongkong authorities for a copy of his birth certificate but received a reply to the effect that the Hongkong records contained no entry relating to his birth in Hongkong. Nevertheless, he insists that he was born in the Colony, but is precluded from incorporating his statements of fact in a statutory declaration owing to the effects of a serious illness, which have rendered him almost helpless.\n\n3. The evidence on which this point must be decided, therefore, is the statement of his friend, Mr. Framji Viccajee, a responsible British subject, whose statutory declaration I have the honour to transmit herein.\n\n4.

I found it difficult therefore to resist the inference that the Generalissimo's questions and suggestions may have been inspired by Marshal Li Tsung-jen in the course of their meeting that morning, or the apprehension that their reconciliation may induce in the Generalissimo, in the absence of his wife and Mr. Donald, a stronger immediate anti-Japanese policy. \n\nYesterday however I received, through the Peking Embassy, the following telegram from the Commander-in-Chief, China Station:- \n\"Japanese officers off Pakhoi are referring to the desirability of occupying Hainan Island as a security for Chinese compliance. It appears that this proposal is not new to Japanese and, taken in connection with their recent harbour surveys in that region, may indicate the possibility of this action being taken though not necessarily on this occasion. Any Japanese encroachment in South China naturally affects strategic situation of Hong Kong adversely.\" \n\nI now therefore surmise that the Generalissimo's conversation reflected his reaction to the receipt of similar information. \n\n6. \nI apologise for the evidences of haste in the composition of this despatch which are due to my desire that you should have by air mail as early an account as possible of my visit. \n\nI have the honour to be, \nSir, \nYour most obedient, humble servant, \n**A Caldecott** \nGovernor, &C.",

Mr. Wah Lee is therefore prepared to provide work and a home for both these persons and we shall be glad to receive any permits that may be necessary to enable them to obtain British passports.\n\nYours faithfully,\nJOHN HODGE & CO.\n\nThe Secretary of State \nfor Home Affairs, \nHome Office, \nWHITEHALL, London.

These purposes were (1) to give a little financial assistance to workmen incapacitated by age, sickness or accident, and (2) to give financial relief to their widows and orphans. The fund had been started with some $36,000 privately subscribed by Chinese. It had now grown to $200,000 by continual gifts, comprising apparently a collection of quite small sums. The income had come to be distributed almost entirely in the form of annuities to poor widows. There was now scarcely any case, he understood, of any grants to aged or injured workmen, which was, according to him, not only one of the purposes, but really the principal purpose of the fund.\n\nHe thought that it might be possible to suggest that the Government might take a more practical interest in the fund, with a view to its development by private subscriptions, and possibly even by a small annual grant from public funds, and that the absence of any applications from workmen themselves for assistance might be due to the fact that no workmen knew, or could know, of its existence. Possibly this could be cured by including one or more representative workmen and employers on the Administrative Committee of the fund, and possibly also the scope of the fund might be extended within its proper sphere if Magistrates could be informed of its existence, so that if a hard case came to light in the Courts, recommendations for assistance could be",

Mr. Brewin was quite content to leave it in our hands whether or not it was possible to make any suggestion to the authorities in Hong Kong. If we did, he so said that he hoped it would be possible for the title of the fund to be altered from \"The Brewin Charity\" to some more general style, such as \"Workmen's and Dependants' Relief Fund\". In any case he would like to see a few words added to the heading of the financial account, the statement of the charity which appears annually as an Appendix to the Departmental Report of the Secretary for Chinese Affairs (Table XX, page C.56 of the 1935 volume) so as to explain that the charity is for the assistance of incapacitated Chinese workmen and their dependants).\n\nI can see no harm in our writing semi-officially to Mr. N.

But the Department's reports for 1934 & 1935 show an extraordinary development of the police work of the S.C.A.\n\nThe S.C.A. has, I think, fifteen detectives and needs more.\n\nIt may certainly be unwise to define (certainly to define publicly) the duties of the S.C.A., but I believe it would be all to the good for the Secretary to define them for his own guidance and I am not sure that the Governor does not need some definite information about the office.\n\nThe Colonial Office has always had a more correct appreciation of the position of the department than the local government has had.\n\nI may be thinking back to the days of 'The Registrar General', and it was a protest of mine in 187... which was the cause of the change of name.\n\nYours very truly,\n\nAu Brewin",

Twenty-seven years ago (see my Annual Report for 1910), a fund was raised on my initiative, and a charity founded for the benefit (1) of Chinese workmen incapacitated by accident, and (2) of the widows and orphans of workmen. The second part of the charity has developed most successfully, but no progress has been made with the relief of injured workmen. This is not to be wondered at. The object is a novel one to Chinese, and the active patronage and encouragement of the Government would lead to success. But from correspondence with the necessary Hongkong Government in 1932, I found that in their opinion no action was necessary, and I hoped that the Secretary of State might be persuaded to recognise that action was not only necessary but long overdue, and that some progress ought at last to be made.\n\nI am, Sir,\n\nyour obedient servant,\n\nW.

In 1931\n\nthe Colonial Government paid them $2,000,000 for the\n\nsurrender of the Island and the Arsenal Yard concerned,\n\nand they now ask that this land should be returned to\n\nthem free, \"having regard to the general obligation\n\nof a colony to contribute according to its means\n\ntowards its own defence\". They therefore think that\n\nthe Colonial Government could reasonably be requested\n\nto provide the land free of charge.\n\nThe question of the terms of the provision\n\nof land in Hong Kong for the Service Departments is a\n\nlong-standing subject of controversy, and I attach,\n\nfor convenience, a copy of a memorandum which was\n\nprepared in this connection on another file. The\n\nposition is that the defence obligations of Hong Kong\n\nhave been fully compounded by the contribution by the\n\nColonial Government of 20 per cent. of its revenue\n\ntowards the cost of Imperial defence. The circular\n\ndespatch of 1894 quoted by the Admiralty states only\n\nthat the proposals for the creation of a Military\n\nLands Account do not affect the obligation of a\n\ncolony to provide other lands within its borders for\n\nmilitary purposes, whether under some special agreement\n\nor under the general obligation that rests on every\n\ncolony to contribute, according to its means, towards\n\nits own defence. It seems to me to be clear from\n\nthis and from the terms of the Hong Kong Defence\n\nContribution Ordinance that while there is an\n\nobligation upon the Colonial Government to facilitate\n\nthe acquisition of land for military purposes by one\n\nof the Service Departments, it is under no obligation\n\nwhatsoever",

To meet future pressing needs for accommodation at Hong Kong, My Lords are mindful of the limited extent of land available and are of the opinion that the situation can only be solved by the eventual acquisition of the landward portion of the Arsenal Yard, i.e. the area coloured blue on plan. They are therefore anxious that this area should be available for Naval use when provision of the necessary funds has been made.\n\n3. I am accordingly to ask whether the Hong Kong Government...\n\nThe Under Secretary of State,\n\nColonial Office,\n\nS.W.1.",

The China Coast Officers Guild have submitted that the holder of this post should have had experience in the Merchant Service and should hold this certificate of competency.\n\nThere appears to be some force in the Guild's view, but I am unaware of the qualifications normally required for a post of this kind and I suggest that in the first place we should send the duplicate of the despatch and enclosures to the Board of Trade and ask, with reference to para. 4 of the despatch, whether it is correct to say that posts of this nature are not usually filled by possessors of a Master Mariner's Certificate.\n\nThe ?

Coysh. The salary attached to the post is £525 rising by annual increments of £25 to £675 per annum.\n\n2.\n\nI propose in due course, subject to your covering approval, to appoint Mr. W. R. Hillyer Chief Junk Inspector, Harbour Department, to fill the vacancy. Mr. Hillyer is at present acting in the post of Assistant Shipping Master which is referred to in correspondence ending with the despatch of `33797/Sir. P. Cunliffe-Lister (now Viscount Swinton) No.209` of the 24th of May, 1934, and copy of Mr. Hillyer's service record is attached. He is reported on as being an exceptionally efficient officer, and to have carried out his duties as Acting Assistant Shipping Master extremely well.\n\n3.\n\nRepresentations have however been made to me by the China Coast Officers' Guild that it is essential that the holder of a Master Mariner's Certificate should be appointed to the post of Deputy Shipping Master, and I enclose for your information a copy of a letter from the Secretary of the Guild on the subject. No trace of the assurance mentioned in paragraph 2 of the Secretary's letter has been found and in reply I am causing the Guild to be informed merely that their representations will have the fullest possible consideration.\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE  \n**W.G.A.

Beckwith, was asked by the Secretary of State for the Colonies to reply to the following question: \"Were there not, at the time of the appointment, any unemployed certificated ranks of the Merchant Service available who could have been considered?\"\n\nIt is understood that the nature of the then Hon. Harbour Master's reply was on the lines that: \"There were unemployed certificated ranks of the Merchant Service available, but not a suitable one.\" The matter thereupon closed, with the exception that it is within the recollection of the writer that Government gave an assurance that there would not be a repetition of such a case.\n\nI am uncertain as to whether this assurance was confirmed in writing (as I had then left the Colony for Shanghai), but I do know it was tendered orally to Captain T.T. Laurenson and Mr. W.J. Stokes, the then local respective Secretaries of the China Coast Officers Guild and The Marine Engineers Guild of China.\n\nSome years later (between 1925 and 1927), the present augmented service of Boarding Officers came into being, and it is the position that the officers attached to this Department are all in the possession of the qualifications of a Master Mariner.\n\nIt has recently come to the knowledge of these Guilds that a candidate for the impending post of Deputy Shipping Master is at present holding the position of Chief Inspector of Junks and Cargo Boats. It is further a fact that this official has no experience whatsoever in the Merchant Service and was, prior to his appointment as Third Boarding Officer in May, 1923, a Police Constable.\n\nThe writer hereof recently called on the Hon. Harbour Master with reference to this impending appointment and was given to understand that it was always the wish and intention of that official to recommend for the prospective vacancy as Deputy Shipping Master an officer who had the requisite experience in the Merchant Service, who also held the necessary qualifications, and who therefore, by reason of such, was fully competent to perform the duties.\n\nPage 30  \nPage 31",

        "content_text": "involve criminality and certainly involve official misconduct, is not easy. Sir Alison Russell deals fully with the point in paragraph 6 of his printed notes on disciplinary proceedings of which a copy is attached. If my memory serves, that paragraph was re-written in its present form in 1936 - i.e. after the incidents now being considered and it represents current practice and views. Even Sir Alison found it impossible to lay down any rigid rule. The very wording of the paragraph reflects the difficulty of the choice between the two procedures and I do not think that any criticism need be offered on the decision taken here. The reason given for it (namely, that prosecution was unlikely to succeed) may not have been entirely sound but the offence was, to my mind, so much a Service matter that the initiation of proceedings under old Colonial Regulation 46 were justified.\n\nAnother point raised by the petitioner is the allegation (see paragraph 18) that his being passed over for promotion is in effect another punishment for the offence for which he was reprimanded six years ago. Such double punishment as a deduction from pension for an offence for which increments were withheld or salary was reduced at the time of the offence are always deprecated but clearly a Colonial Government when considering promotion (particularly promotion to the highest grade open to an officer) can fairly take into account the whole of his record. I agree, therefore, that on this point also there is no cause for intervention.\n\nThe reply might be as Mr. Gent proposes but asking that, if the Governor agrees, the petitioner",

Sir A.\n\nIn the present case it appears from paragraph 3 of No.1 (a) that the Attorney General held that there was not sufficient evidence to justify the institution of criminal proceedings, and (b) that the Governor considered that there was not sufficient evidence to justify the appointment of a Committee to enquire into the matter under Colonial Regulation 42 (now Colonial Regulation 68). The Attorney General, however, goes on to say that the Governor at the material time held that the petitioner's action was reprehensible in a high degree, and that his intentions in the whole incident had been open to grave suspicion; and that accordingly he severely reprimanded the petitioner.\n\nThis seems to me to have been irregular and not in accordance with Colonial Regulation 42. That regulation laid it down that, if the officer failed to exculpate himself to the satisfaction of the Governor, \"the Governor shall appoint a Committee to enquire into the matter;\" and, having regard to the facts set out above, it seems clear (1) that the petitioner did not exculpate himself to the satisfaction of the Governor, and consequently (2) that a Committee should have been appointed to enquire into the matter before any punishment was awarded. I was punished without a \"trial\" (a Committee of Enquiry formed, as the Younus puts it).\n\nIn these circumstances, I do not think that the petitioner should have been reprimanded; and I hope that the opportunity will now be taken to put the matter right by",

Sir William Peel held that there was insufficient ground for proceeding to trial by a committee of the Executive Council but that Mr. Badan Singh's intentions in the whole incident were open to grave suspicion and that the action he had taken was reprehensible in a high degree. He was accordingly severely reprimanded and was ordered to repay to Government the sum of $847.26 which was held to be due by him in respect of the two return passages to India.\n\n4. It is not my intention that this officer's deficiencies, as shown by the incident referred to above, should be held against him indefinitely: if his confidential reports continue to be good he will be given due consideration for promotion when a vacancy for which he should be considered occurs. A vacancy in the Higher Class of the Junior Clerical Service is likely to occur early in 1940. Mr. Badan Singh's claims to fill that vacancy will again be fully considered: but I think it unlikely that if he then gains advancement I shall be favourably disposed towards ante-dating this step.\n\nI have the honour to be,\nSir,\nYour most obedient, humble servant,\nGovernor.\n\n14",

That at the beginning of this year there were five vacant posts to be filled by promotion in the Higher Class of the Junior Clerical Service of this Colony;\n\n2. That, as third in the next lower grade (Class I) Your Petitioner felt certain of promotion, as he was aware that during his more than thirty-three years of loyal and faithful service he had at all times received the commendation of the Heads of the Departments in which he had served;\n\n3. That it was, therefore, a great blow to him when, on the announcement of the promotions, it was found that he had been passed over by officers junior to him in Class I;\n\n4. That this was especially embarrassing to him because of the position which he had for years occupied in the Indian community of this Colony; since 1932 he has been President of the Khalsa Diwan (Sikh Temple), the General Committee of which is recognized by Government and the public as the representative body of the large Sikh community; for years he has been Vice-President of the Indian Recreation Club, which several years ago honoured him by electing him a life member; he is a Past President of the Kowloon Indian Tennis Club; been President of the Guru Nanak Bathing Club since its inception; is Vice-President of a Committee organised by all sections of the Indian community of the Colony for the reception and entertainment of distinguished Indian visitors, and is President of a Committee representative of the Indian Civil Servants of this Colony;",

That, as he has every reason to feel certain that his **Confidential Report Card** will support his claim to be a thoroughly efficient, reliable and conscientious officer, he is requesting that a complete copy of that card be forwarded for Your information and guidance with this Petition;\n\n6. That immediately following the announcement of the promotions, he addressed a letter to the Honourable Colonial Secretary, appealing for promotion to the Higher Class, pointing out that as most of the members of that Class were younger than he and as there was no immediate prospect of further vacancies occurring in that Class, there was no hope of advancement for him before his retirement; he is now 54 years of age and has been looking forward to retirement soon after attaining the age of 56;\n\n7. That his letter to the Honourable Colonial Secretary concluded thus: - \"I therefore most respectfully submit this appeal for your special consideration, and request that after the question of my loss of promotion and the points in connection therewith have been reviewed, I may be awarded my due place in seniority. Should this be impossible, then I request that I be informed of the points on which I may have failed to merit the recommendation of my superior officers\";\n\n8. That the Honourable Colonial Secretary's reply to this appeal, received from the Honourable Director of Public Works, Head of Your petitioner's Department, was: - \"I am directed to inform you that the Subordinate Staff Board will consider the matter fully at the end of this year if any vacancies occur in the Higher Class\";\n\n9. That as there was no likelihood of a vacancy occurring before the end of the year, or indeed for years, Your petitioner then submitted a petition to His Excellency the Governor, in which he stated: - \"As I feel that I have not",

D.P.W. for recommendation to the Government for promotion by special consideration.\n\nIn support of my application I have the honour to lay the following for your favourable consideration:-\n\n1. By comparison of 1920 and 1930 Civil Service Lists it could be observed that I have been superseded by some of the juniors since 1920; which I believe would either be due to an oversight or my appointment being in a small department (i.e. Royal Observatory) for a considerable period and not considered so important as that of the others in other departments. Notwithstanding I have been called upon to perform the duties of Senior European Officers during the Great War as well as now and then thereafter in that department without any extra remuneration or consideration of promotion for 14 years for extra service done there.\n\n2. Since the death of the late Mr. Cheng Cheuk Hin (the Senior Clerk of this department) in 1929 much more has been added to my work as well as that to the responsibility, which binds me to work even overtime to cope with the work without any request for extra remuneration but with hope of special consideration.\n\n3. Since my transfer to this department in 1927, I have been directly working under you up to this date, so my work as well as competency of working is not a secret to you, and hardly require a repetition here.\n\n4. I am the only worker out of my family of 8 persons, and most of them being children, who are pursuing their studies in various schools, my pecuniary matters are now hand to mouth only and which may develop into dilapidation at any moment without the consideration requested.\n\n5. Moreover with due reference to progress of my previous promotion once after 14 years, I can foresee nothing to help or",

Thomas Cook & Son, as at each port their Agents would call on board the steamer on arrival and attend to the requirements of passengers, who had been booked by them at the port of embarkation. This would be of great assistance to my wife and children, who would be travelling without me for the first time. This was the only reason why I decided to book through Messrs. Thomas Cook & Son. I accordingly approached them for a quotation in order to apply to the Government for a refund of the amount due to me for three passages.\n\nI received the quotation in question on or about 22nd January and put in my application of the 26th January, 1932, in the usual way, in hope of getting payment of the passage allowance before the date of sailing, about 9th February, on which date the first possible steamer was scheduled to leave for Calcutta.\n\nI was not in a position to pay more than the $560 in cash, and therefore issued to Messrs. Thomas Cook & Son a cheque of $1,200 for the part balance, post-dated 15th February, as I hoped to get the Government allowance before that date.\n\nLater, however, when I informed the clerk at Messrs. Thomas Cook & Son that the passage would be required for the 9th February, he stated that they could not be issued unless full payment was made by the sailing date. As the Government allowance was not yet forthcoming, I consulted with my wife, who expressed the wish to go herself, the children to follow on the next or possible steamer with our relative named Bhagwan Singh, who was expected from America at an early date by one of the Empress boats.\n\nMy wife left for India on the 10th February, and as the Government allowance for passages was not yet received, ten days later, and as Bhagwan Singh had already arrived and was definitely leaving by S.S. \"Sirdhana\" on the 24th February, I handed the attached letter to the Superintendent of Accounts and Stores on the 20th February enquiring when the passage money would be received.\n\nMr. Anderson informed me that he would enquire from",

Bhagwan Singh left by the S.S. \"Sirdhana\" on that date.\n\n$1438.89.\n\nOn the 11th March, I received the Government cheque for $1438.89. I was uncertain what to do with it, and because of that, I did not pay it into my account at the bank for several days until the 17th March. I then decided that I should retain the whole amount as about the beginning of the second week in March, I had received a letter from my wife informing me that she was \"with child\" and requesting me to come to India with the children before the date on which she would give birth. I therefore decided that I should go about six or seven months later, but that I would send on the children as early as possible as only the amah was left to look after them all day while I was in the office, my eldest daughter being in school at St. Mary's Convent.\n\nIn the hope of being able to arrange for passages for my children, in case a friend or relation from our village was going to India, I left my cheque for $1200 with Messrs. Thomas Cook & Son and did not withdraw it until they requested me to do so in a letter dated the 23rd April 1932.\n\nI would here mention that recovery of the unexpended sum of $847.26 has at no time been jeopardised; a request for a statement of my credits in the banks would have been sufficient to prove that. Up to the date of my sailing for India, I was expecting to have to pay out this sum at any moment for my children's passages.\n\nWhen my wife found that the children did not arrive with Bhagwan Singh, she became very uneasy in mind, knowing that they could not receive proper attention while I was in office all day. She therefore suddenly decided to return without completing the business for which she went to India, and she actually arrived in Hong Kong about the middle of May, before I had any knowledge that...",

It was decided that I should take with me my eldest daughter and the two children age 10 and 8, whom my daughter could look after on the voyage and in India, while my wife would remain here with the youngest daughter age 6 and the two boys age 13 and 11. These boys are attending school at St. Joseph's College and we wished to avoid a break in their studies by not taking them to India. In any case, I could not have afforded to pay their passages and my wife's second return passage.\n\nI decided not to leave for India until my wife gave birth. A child was born on the 8th September. Then I decided to ask for leave in October, but Mr. Tang Shing Cheung, senior clerk of the Account Office, also wished to go on four weeks' leave from the 1st November, and as I would be absent for a long period and he could not get leave while I was away, he asked me to postpone my leave until his return. I agreed and I was in charge of my own office and Mr. Tang's while he was on leave in November.\n\nA few days after Mr. Tang's return, Mr. Yung Yuk Tong, senior clerk in the Store, went seriously sick and Mr. Tang was sent to the Store to take his place. My leave had therefore to be further delayed.\n\nEarly in December, I received a letter from my brother requesting me to go to India on an urgent matter in connection with my own family. This was quite a different matter from my wife's family affairs.\n\nWithin a few days, as Mr. Tang was still in the Store at this time, and I realised that it was almost essential that I should not be absent from the office when the final accounts for the year were being passed and closed in December, I decided not to leave until 22nd January, and on the 17th December, I forwarded my application for leave from that date. It has been pointed out to me that in this letter of application, I stated that my \"dependants\" had recently returned from India. Of course, my wife only had returned. The sentence",

It will be understood that the remaining \"dependants\" who were to stay behind in Hong Kong were doing so because she had returned. In that paragraph, I was not dealing with passages, but was asking that my dependants who were remaining behind should be permitted to draw my rent allowance.\n\nAlready I applied for a passage for myself only as I had received the Government allowance on account of my children and intended to book their passages myself as soon as I received notice that my own passage had been booked by the Government. It was not until about the 19th January (three days before the date of my departure) that I was informed that the passage had been booked, and at the same time, I was given my return ticket. My youngest child (born in September) had been taken seriously ill three or four days earlier, and when I informed my wife that I had received my passage ticket and would book passages next day for our eldest daughter and the two children, age 10 and 8, she absolutely refused to allow our daughter to accompany me to India, as she said she needed her help after her school hours and for part of the night in attending to our sick child. Up to the last moment, I hoped that the child would recover sufficiently to allow my eldest daughter to accompany me, but the child's condition grew worse, and I was obliged to sail alone on the 22nd January (Sunday). My two young children could not travel without my eldest daughter. On the day after my departure (23rd January), my child was taken into the French Hospital, where he remained for some 10 or 12 days. He never properly recovered and on the 1st March, he died at the French Hospital, to which he had been readmitted about two weeks earlier.\n\nIt will be seen that it was out of the question for me to arrange for a refund of the Government allowance towards the children's passages at the last moment on the date of my sailing, so I decided to leave the whole matter for adjustment on my return, which would",

Indian Interpreter.\n\nI was highly commended for my work by the Inspecting Superintendents at almost every quarterly inspection. On my transfer to the Royal Observatory, I was given preference over the other well-educated candidates by His Excellency the Governor (then late Sir Henry May) in his approval of the post.\n\nMarch 1915 - April 1927 - Clerical Assistant to D.R.O. Though the title of the post was so named, yet during the tour of my service in this department, I was often called upon to do my senior European officers' work of scientific and technical responsibility, especially during the time of the Great War, and when some of the officers were on long or sick leave. I received no bonus or extra remuneration for this extra work.\n\nApril 1927 - up to this date - Accounts & Stores Section of P.W.D. During this period, I served in various capacities. I performed Booking Clerk's duties for 2 or 3 months, and then took over the duties of Vote Service Ledger Clerk from the late Capt. Hosford of the Senior Clerical and Accounting Staff.\n\n1928 - 1935 - Senior Clerk in Charge of one of the Accounts Sections, where all booking, final accounting, paylisting, and various returns are prepared, including the Allotment Vouchers System, together with various important responsibilities of inter-departmental correspondence with A.D.P.Ws. and Executive Engineers. From 1935, I have been generally in charge of both sections in the Account sub-department, directly responsible to Supt.

List, page 78), Senior Clerk in the Accounts Office of this Department, appealing against the recent decision of the Subordinate Staff Sub-Committee in passing him over for promotion to the Higher Class.\n\n2\\. Mr. Badan Singh is No. 3 in Class I, and I am informed that the officers recently promoted to fill the five vacancies in the Higher Class were Nos. 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7.\n\n3\\. I have not come into contact very much with Mr. Badan Singh, but all reports which I have received on his work from Mr. Anderson, late Supt. Accounts & Stores, and Mr. Bendall, the present Accountant have invariably been good. I would invite your special attention to his Confidential Report card: over the last ten years he has been reported on as an officer \"of marked ability\", \"a very capable officer\", \"an efficient officer of outstanding ability\", \"a very valuable officer, who carried out responsible duties with tact and foresight\". In 1936 he was \"strongly recommended on merit\" for the Higher Class (for which he has now been passed over by four officers), and in the following year (1937) he was recommended for accelerated promotion. In fact, the reports on this officer had been so good over so long a period that Mr. Bendall did not, as he explains in his covering minute, attached, consider it necessary last December to make a special recommendation for accelerated promotion, since Mr. Badan Singh was No. 3 in his Class and it was known that there were five vacancies to be filled.\n\n1\\. With regard to B on page 2 of the Record of Service attached to Mr. Badan Singh's appeal, I would refer you to Mr. Anderson's report of 6.11.36 on the Confidential Report card, in which he stated that this officer was \"doing splendid work\" in the Stores.\n\n5\\. I have no information as to why an officer of Mr. Badan Singh's standing should have been passed over.\n\nPage 50\nPage 51",

D.P.W.**\n\nApplication from Mr. Badan Singh, Senior Clerk in the Accounts Office, submitted.\n\n2.\n\nBy the omission of the word \"accelerated\" in the last confidential report on the services of this officer, I might possibly have been responsible for his loss of promotion. This omission on my part was deliberate. I was aware that five vacancies existed in the Higher Class, and that Mr. Singh was third in order of seniority. I held the view that whilst \"acceleration\" was impossible, a delay in promotion only should be obviated. My report was therefore phrased in words which, in view of C.S.O. Circular No. 44/37 might appear adequate to obtain for this officer his normal turn for promotion. Nevertheless, I would hesitate to recommend any officer for accelerated promotion on this period alone.\n\n3.\n\nI have been in charge of the Accounts Section since 1st June last, and my report covered less than five months' knowledge of his work. This would at once destroy the value of the special recommendations if reports were written in red ink to obtain normal advancement.\n\nThe remarks at A on page 2 of the enclosure to Mr. Singh's application can be fully supported. You are aware that, after the division of the Accounts and Stores Staff, the Accounts section was labouring under a very severe handicap, and in view of the wide experience of Mr. Badan Singh, he was recalled (22nd July, 1938) by Mr. Anderson from the Stores Department, to assume the duties of Senior Clerk in the Accounts Office. He has carried out these duties very satisfactorily and due to his excellent supervisory work, the handicap has now disappeared.\n\n4.\n\n5.\n\nThis officer is worthy of further advancement, and I submit for consideration the question of his being placed in...",

The number of licences issued in Hong Kong in 1936 was over 7000; the number now is over 10000. This number probably includes English and Chinese listeners, and largely due to the latter, it is expected that a Bulletin in Chinese would be necessary to print in Chinese as well as English.\n\nThere is a head in the HK Estimates for the Broadcasting Dept, to which the salary of the Editor, who is to assist in the ordinary work of that Dept, should be charged to Personal Emoluments subhead, in the first instance at any rate.\n\nThe Government is asking for a blank cheque for a series of Hank cheques for financing the Bulletin, and some sort of an approximate estimate should be furnished before approval is given.

V\n\nIn these circumstances it would be preferable if possible to charge both revenue and expenditure in the first place to a Suspense Account, carrying only the net deficit or excess revenue to the Colony's general account and so avoiding the difficulties of exact estimating and probable supplementary votes which will be needed if the gross expenditure is to be charged to ordinary expenditure votes. An additional reason for avoiding such supplementary votes is, of course, that it is not desired to give too much publicity to the precise objects underlying the issue of the review. I should be glad, therefore, to know whether you would be prepared to approve charging the revenue and expenditure to a Suspense Account under Colonial Regulation 273.\n\n3.\n\nIt has been necessary to engage an editor for the review, and Mr. E.

        "content_text": "7 \n\nimmediate personal requirements (such as mosquito nets, bedding, clothing, etc.), $350 for winter requirements (such as a padded gown or quilt) together with a monthly spending allowance of $60 per head.\n\nIn this manner the estimated cost of providing relief loans for one student for the period July 1st, 1942 to June 30th, 1943 would be as follows:- \n\n| Travelling & Living Expenses up to time of Admission to University | Immediate Personal Requirements | Winter Requirements | Monthly Allowance of $60 for 12 months | Total |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| $1,000.00 | $500.00 | $350.00 | $720.00 | $2,570.00 |\n\nTravelling expenses have been getting progressively higher in recent months, and, whereas students escaping in the early summer were able to reach their destination with a loan of $500, many of those escaping in the late summer and autumn months have spent sums considerably in excess of $1,000. To a certain extent this increased expenditure has been offset by the fact that students receiving pay from the Government for work undertaken during the war in Hong Kong have first repaid the loans received by them for travelling and living expenses before receiving any cash. Even so it is probable, with the larger number of students coming out (255 to date) than was originally anticipated (203), that it will be necessary to revise the earlier estimates in an upward direction. A revised estimate is presented in Appendix No.2 and a summary of expenditure to date in Appendix No.3.\n\nIt should be pointed out that the sixty dollars per month (equivalent to a sum of fifteen shillings) is a spending allowance only, for the purchase of personal requisites such as stationery, soap, extra food, etc. All these things have risen tremendously in price in recent months. A cake of carbolic soap now costs $19.00, a two-ounce bottle of ink costs $50.00 or more. A ruled note book which could formerly be purchased for the equivalent of two pence now costs as much as $30.00 (about 7/6). The purchasing value of an allowance of $60.00 is therefore meagre in the extreme. The Chinese Ministry of Education makes a monthly loan to all students of between $110.00 and $140.00 to cover the bare expense of their food, without which the cost of relief would be considerably enhanced.\n\n## HONG KONG UNIVERSITY RELIEF COMMITTEE\nThis Committee was called together during the latter part of June 1942 by Dr. Han Lih-wu, of the Sino-British Cultural Association and the British Boxer Indemnity Administration. The Committee consists of the following members, each of whom is representative of an organisation interested in Hong Kong University Relief:-\n\n* Mr. Han Lih-wu - Sino-British Cultural Association\n* Dr. Foo Ping-shang - Ministry of Foreign Affairs\n* Mr. Wu Tsuin-shen - Ministry of Education\n* Dr. Liang Dapen - Board of Overseas Affairs\n* Mr. Chen Pang-sien - National Relief Commission\n* Mr. Yu Tsuin-hsien - Commission of Overseas Affairs\n* Mr. T. J. Fisher - British Embassy\n* Prof. Gordon King - Hong Kong University\n* Mr. Koh Nye-poh - Hong Kong University\n\nIn financial matters the Committee acts in an advisory capacity and at its first meeting on 25th June 1942 its functions were laid down as follows:-\n\n(a) to advise regarding the nature of the relief undertaken by the British Embassy for Hong Kong University members.",

A card index has been prepared which includes the name of every student who has received assistance together with full particulars as to his academic status, method of escape from Hong Kong and plans for the future. A record is also kept on this card of the nature of any financial assistance which has been given, together with the date, amount and purpose.\n\nExpenditure to date. When the work was commenced it was estimated that the cost per head for the provision of immediate relief would be in the region of $31,000. It was also anticipated that a further monthly subsidy would be necessary after entry into a University to supplement the loan obtained by all students from the Chinese Ministry of Education. Actually the amount of money advanced in most instances was $500 and only in exceptional cases was as much as $1,000 given, although in many instances the original grant of $500 had to be supplemented to cover the cost of additional or unexpected expenses en route to obtaining transport. In the case of some students who went to Universities in March or in April a monthly subsidy of $50 has been paid. The full details of all expenditures are contained in the statements made from time to time to Mr. T.J. Fisher. The total amount of money received from the British Embassy up to the present date is $125,000, and the expenditure may be summarised as follows:-\n\nTotal expenditure on University Relief Work (April 27th to June 24th 1942).\n\n| Description | Amount |\n|-------------|--------|\n| Sum deposited with Mr. A.H.

It is preferable to retain a safeguard on the lines of the words which we suggested, and the Governor now agrees that the words \"in paragraph 2 of his despatch, should be omitted\". The terms of the passage in question clearly seem to imply that the second marriage is valid only on the supposition that the first one was not valid, and I suggest that the Drafting should be more explicit on this point. The wording I propose (adapted from a draft Bill now in preparation, amending the Foreign Marriages Act) is as follows:-\n\n\"Where any such marriage would, but for this Ordinance, have been invalid and either of the parties thereto has subsequently during the life of the other party, but before the commencement of this Ordinance, lawfully married any other person, this Ordinance shall not render the first marriage valid or affect the validity of the subsequent marriage\".\n\n## DIVORCE\n\n4. Where only a decree nisi was granted by the Chief Justice, the parties have no reason to believe themselves free to re-marry, and it seems reasonably clear that no steps should be taken to validate the decree.\n\n5. It appears that there were also 4 decrees absolute - namely the 3 mentioned in paragraph 5 of (1), and that mentioned in (2). In two cases further proceedings have been taken in Hong Kong, and presumably no action by the Government of Hong Kong is either necessary or desired by the parties.\n\n6. It is the remaining two cases which may create a serious problem.\n\nI assume that both the decrees nisi and the decrees absolute were made in error. The crucial question is whether the parties were at the time of the divorce domiciled in Hong Kong. If they were, then I see no very strong reason why the divorce should not be validated, and a very good reason in the case mentioned in (2) why this step should be taken.\n\nIf, however, the parties in either case were not domiciled in Hong Kong, then there is, in my opinion, serious doubt as to whether validating legislation can lawfully be enacted in Hong Kong. Indeed, if I am to express a firm opinion, it is that validation is not possible without an Act of Parliament.\n\n8. My reasons are as follows:-\n\nIf the parties were not domiciled in Hong Kong, the Court had no jurisdiction except by virtue of the Indian and Colonial Divorce Jurisdiction Acts, 1926 and 1940, as applied to Hong Kong by the Hong Kong Divorce Jurisdiction Order in Council 1935. The Act as so applied confers jurisdiction in such a case upon \"the Supreme Court of Hong Kong\". The validity of the divorce is (to say the least) open to question mainly by reason of a doubt as to whether the Court pronouncing the decrees was properly constituted, and the Act must necessarily refer to a properly constituted Court. Hence, a Hong Kong Ordinance purporting to validate the divorce would clearly in effect be amending the Act and would therefore undoubtedly be void as repugnant to the Act under the Colonial Laws Validity Act 1865.\n\nPage 10\n\nThe doubts were founded...",

        "content_text": "Assuming parties were domiciled in Hong Kong,\n\n10.\n\n7\n\nEven if it were possible to say that the Court was properly constituted and capable of lawfully exercising jurisdiction, the question may arise as to whether the provisions of the Hong Kong (Non-Domiciled Parties) Divorce Rules 1936, made under the Act of 1926, were, or could be, complied with. See for example, Rules 3, 4, 20 and 25. Any Hong Kong Ordinance repugnant to the Rules would likewise be ultra vires.\n\n11.\n\nI think therefore that we must put this point of view to the Governor, asking for his further views. If there are no children of the subsequent marriage in the case mentioned in (2), the best course might be for further divorce proceedings followed by re-marriage to take place, though there might be difficulties. In the remaining case, where we have had correspondence with Solicitors in this country (see 53528/330) I think the best thing to do is to explain fully to the Solicitors, enquiring of them whether the parties were domiciled. It seems highly probable that they were not domiciled in Hong Kong.\n\n12.\n\nI do not think we should write a long letter, but that we should refer to the second paragraph of (9) on the above file, and ask them to come and see me.\n\n18. 4. 47.\n\nMr. Roberts-Wray\n\nMARRIAGES\n\nI would propose to send a telegram on this question (in view of the Governor's request in paragraph 6 of No.1), giving the substance of paragraphs 2 and 3 of your minute and agreeing to the introduction of legislation, subject to the substitution of the safeguard you suggest for the proviso in the draft Ordinance forwarded with No.16 on 54185746. (I presume that your safeguard should replace the whole of the proviso and not merely that part of it which we suggested should be omitted.)\n\nDIVORCE\n\nI would deal with this separately.\n\nWould you see any objection to our replying to the Governor by cable that we are disposed to agree to the introduction of legislation validating decrees absolute, provided that each of the parties concerned in the 4 cases was domiciled in Hong Kong at the time of the divorce, and asking for confirmation of this. (I presume that confirmation is the right word to use here, since the Chief Justice should presumably have known the limits of the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of Hong Kong when he heard the cases.) We might also ask how the proposed validating legislation would affect the proceedings which are now taking place before the Supreme Court, referred to in paragraph 5 of No.1.\n\nIf you agree to action on both matters as proposed above, would you kindly send the file to Miss Whyte",

As regards divorces, I do not think anything should be done with regard to the two cases where further proceedings have been taken. In the other two cases, I think the first thing to do is to communicate with the parties concerned, explaining the situation, including the point about domicile unless it is quite clear that they were in fact domiciled in Hong Kong. I agree that the Chief Justice should have taken care of this point; but I should have thought the presumption was that Europeans are not domiciled there.\n\n3. In the case in which we have had correspondence with Solicitors, I still think the first step should be to ask them to come and discuss the question. In the remaining case steps will of course have to be taken by the Government of Hong Kong.

It is also customary in such Dispatch to say what is being put forward, e.g., two copies of the ordinance (enclosed in what copy of file R.1. etc.).\n\nIt appears that when an ordinance on subsidiary legislation is made, one authenticated copy should be sent; the other authenticated copy should be in plain language.",

This Ordinance was passed with one amendment on the 19th June, 1947.\n\n2. The reasons for enacting this Ordinance are set out in the Objects and Reasons to the Bill, a copy of which is forwarded herewith.\n\n3. Before introduction and enactment of this Ordinance, the Ordinance was the subject of correspondence with the Secretary of State for the Colonies terminating with the telegram of His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government, to the Secretary of State, (No.1024) dated the 19th June, 1947.\n\n4. In the Secretary of State's telegram No.949 dated the 13th June, 1947, definition of \"Supreme Court\" was suggested. As decoded the definition proposed was not clear, but the intention appeared to be to suggest the following wording, i.e. \"the Chief Justice acting in purported exercise of Divorce Jurisdiction in the Supreme Court at Stanley, Hong Kong\". At the date such telegram was received the First reading of the Ordinance under report had been taken in Legislative Council. On that occasion, on introduction of the Bill, I had stated my intention, at the appropriate stage, to move amendment of Clause 2 of the Bill to insert in the definition of \"Court\" the word \"purported\" before the word 'exercise' for the reason that without such word there would be insufficient emphasis on the fact that the exercise of Divorce Jurisdiction by the Supreme Court at the Stanley Internment Camp was of doubtful validity. For this reason I advised against the adoption of the definition as above quoted.\n\nOther reasons for so advising were:\n\nA: amendment to the preamble would also have been necessary;\n\nB:\n\nPage 24",

Dalziel, i.e. Sir Atholl MacGregor, now deceased, should be used for the purpose of the Ordinance.\n\nThe Ordinance does not contain a suspending Clause as ordinarily required in Bills for divorce by Article XXVI of the Royal Instructions because omission of such a Clause was authorised by paragraph (1) of the Secretary of State's telegram No. 882 dated the 2nd June, 1947.

The validity of the divorce is open to question mainly by reason of doubt as to whether the Supreme Court was, at that time, competent to pronounce decrees: the Act must necessarily refer to a properly constituted Court, lawfully exercising jurisdiction.

Contrary to expectation, a case has now arisen where one of the parties has remarried in reliance on the decrees pronounced in Stanley. The decree in question was pronounced in Stanley by the late Chief Justice in the case between Winifred May Dalziel, petitioner, and Adam Gray Dalziel, respondent. It was taken by both parties to be legal and valid and the wife, Winifred May Dalziel, has now married again. In a letter from her solicitors, it is stated that the decree nisi was granted by the late Chief Justice in Stanley Camp on 8th June, 1942, and the decree was made absolute by him on 10th December, 1942. On production of a certified copy of the decree, Mrs. Dalziel on 4th October, 1946, married Mr. John Odell in Singapore where she now resides. The respondent, Adam Gray Dalziel, recently applied in Hong Kong for a special licence in order to remarry. This has, of course, been refused. Both parties have now asked Government to consider passing an Ordinance validating this \"and one other similar decree\" made in Stanley Camp, which might well be the case referred to by Messrs. Maddin and Company. In view of the date of the marriage it is unlikely that there is any issue but there may well be issue before a valid...\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE\nA.

I am in agreement with the proposal that the concluding three lines of Clause 2 of the draft Bill, a copy of which was forwarded to you under cover of my confidential despatch of 26th September, 1946, should be deleted. This provision was copied from Section 1 of the Marriages in Japan (Validity) Act, 1912. In the case of those marriages something like thirteen years had elapsed between the first marriage and the validating Act and presumably the marriages were not, as is the case in Hong Kong, considered to be valid at common law. The provision was inserted here before the last point had been considered.\n\n3. I agree with the other proposals in paragraph 2 of your despatch under reference, namely that every individual affected shall be informed in general terms of the legislation contemplated before it is introduced and that each marriage shall be made the subject of a provisional order which would be similar to those made in the United Kingdom by the Home Secretary under the provisions of the Marriages Validity (Provisional Orders) Acts, 1905, and 1924, and would be confirmed at a later date by legislative action. The marriages which are so far known to be affected by the proposed legislation are 557 in number; of these some were celebrated in Stanley Internment Camp and others took place in various churches, in hotels and in private houses.\n\nOn the other hand serious difficulties arise from the\n\nRECEIVED\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE\n\nA.

These particulars have been obtained by application to Christian Ministers and Churches and finally by a press notification inserted by the Registrar of Marriages calling upon the parties to Christian marriages celebrated during the occupation to furnish him with particulars. Apart from the practical difficulty of approaching individually the persons concerned, many of whom have left the Colony, it would, in my opinion, be contrary to public policy to give the parties the option of affirming or reprobating the marriage or even to make exceptions to the general rule of exempting any particular marriage from the validating provision.\n\nThis is perhaps best illustrated by the only case which has so far come to the notice of this Government. In this the parties desired the marriage to be treated as invalid solely because they no longer wished to live together and because it was to their financial advantage not to be married to one another. As the time that has elapsed since the liberation has been comparatively short it is unlikely that any of the parties have remarried and more unlikely that they should have had any issue. It is also unlikely that remarriage would have taken place without legal advice and if legal advice had been sought reference would probably have been made to you or to this Government.\n\n4. In view of the above considerations and of the opinion set out in the note which formed the first enclosure to your despatch under reference, I am advised that the most practical course would be to proceed at once with the legislation proposed in my confidential despatch of 26th September, 1946, amended as in paragraph 2 above. I am in agreement with this view and consider it unlikely that any hardship or injustice will be caused if this course of action is adopted. I shall be glad to have your approval.\n\n5. With regard to paragraphs 3 and 4 of your despatch under reference on the subject of the decrees of divorce pronounced by the Chief Justice during the enemy occupation of the Colony, I am taking steps to inform the parties to the decrees nisi which purport to have been pronounced that doubt exists as to the validity of such",

        "content_text": "# Secretariat file `103/3091/47`.\n\n## No. 16.\n\nSir,\n\n**Ansis (2)**\n\nGugg\n\n**GOVERNMENT HOUSE,**\n\n**HONG KONG.**\n\n22 January, 1949.\n\nI have the honour to request permission for the grant by private treaty to the Hong Kong Society for the Protection of Children of a piece of land measuring approximately 29,300 sq.ft. at the junction of Portland and Yu Chau Streets in Kowloon on the terms and conditions as set out in the enclosure for the purpose of erecting a centre for the work of the Society.\n\n2.\n\nSince the reoccupation of the Colony this Society has been active in caring for destitute and neglected children and their assistance is also extended to mothers of distressed families. They have, however, had to depend upon the hospitality of other organisations such as the Medical Department and the Social Welfare Council for the provision of accommodation in which to carry on their work, and the present proposal arises out of their need to find premises of their own which will enable them to expand their activities. The site which has been chosen is admirably located so as to ensure that Kowloon will be adequately covered by this and two other centres which are housed in buildings belonging to other organisations and in which the Society have been accorded facilities.\n\n3.\n\nThe Society propose to provide in the building for children of various ages and to give recognition to the fact that parents must necessarily come into the picture. Provision will be made for other Social Welfare activities outside the scope of the Society's own work in order to make reciprocal facilities available to the Social Welfare Council and other bodies. The building is therefore designed to provide not only a Children's Centre but also a small clinic, two rooms for the Family Welfare activities of the Social Welfare Council and rooms for the use of Scouts, Boys and Girls Clubs or similar Societies. While the building will, in the first instance, consist only of one storey it will be constructed in such a way as to allow for another to be added at a later stage.\n\n4.\n\nI have already approved a building grant of $95,000 but the Society's funds are so heavily committed to meeting recurrent expenditure that it is not anticipated that they will be able to pay for the land in addition to providing the further $25,000 required for erecting the building. It is for this reason that I recommend a free grant at a nominal crown rent. The upset price if the land were sold by public auction would be $6.00 per square foot and the Crown Rent would be $2,000 per acre.\n\n5.\n\nI would appreciate an early indication of your approval of these proposals to enable the Society to start construction.\n\nI have the honour to be,\nSir,\nYour most obedient, humble servant,\n\n**THE RIGHT HONOURABLE**\n**ARTHUR CREECH JONES, M.P.**\n\n**GOVERNOR'S DEPUTY.**\n\n## Page 2\n\n## CONDITIONS\n\n| Condition | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| 1. | Private treaty grant. |\n| 2. | Term 75 years renewable for a further 75 years. |\n| 3. | Premium Nil. |\n| 4. | Crown Rent $10.00 per year. |\n| 5. | Building Covenant $120,000. |\n| 6. | User of the land restricted to the purpose of the grant. |\n| 7. | A prohibition against assignment without consent. |\n| 8. | Reversion to the Crown if the land ceases to be used for the purpose for which it is granted. |\n\n## Page 7\n## Page 8",

        "content_text": "No: 3468/1.\n\nMr. RADFORD.\n\nWith reference to paragraph 3 of (3) there are, in my experience, generally a number of such self-balancing items in the Estimates of a Colonial Territory - i.e. where expenditure is balanced by equivalent revenue which arises directly from the expenditure. It is, however, part of the normal system of financial control that all items of expenditure included in the Estimates or Supplementary Estimates, whether covered by corresponding revenue or not, should be approved by the Legislative Council and, where necessary, by the Secretary of State. In the circumstances, I myself feel that it would be better for the present practice to continue, and for approval to be obtained from the Secretary of State in such cases in accordance with paragraph 3(a)(ii) of the despatch mentioned in paragraph 2 of No.3.\n\n2. I see no objection to approval being given for the excesses reported in (3) and (4).\n\n3. May I have two copies of the reply sent to (3)?\n\nKhumally\n\nD. G. C.

The relations between H.K. and the U.K. are at present governed by our despatch No.302 of 24th September 1978, copy opposite. These arrangements, as emphasised in the despatch itself, are more of consultation than control; this is certainly the spirit and certainly the way things work out in practice. The U.K.'s approval required under paras 3(a) (i) and (ii) of the despatch are something of a formality although we do periodically take up a point with them (usually for increasing taxation).\n\nIn the circumstances, it is difficult to see what further relaxation could usefully be suggested other than complete devolution.\n\n4.

As a result of the grave shortage of steel in the period 1946-48, orders placed through the Crown Agents, were subject to serious delay. As no reinforcing steel had arrived at the time when it was required, it became necessary to resort to local purchase in order that the erection of urgently needed blocks of Government quarters should not be delayed. Indents on the Crown Agents were not cancelled immediately as it was hoped that the steel would come forward in time for use in subsequent blocks of flats. This hope was not realised and unfortunately the cancellation of a number of indents was overlooked. Consequently for the present we are over-stocked with steel which will of course be available for requirements in the current and subsequent financial years.\n\n3.\n\nFinance Committee has approved a supplementary provision of $2,949,372 under Head 38 sub-head 25 and your covering approval is requested in accordance with your despatch No.302 of 25th September, 1948.\n\nCGFS:RMH:IS\n\nH.

The revenue for the year amounted to a little under $195 million which was approximately $43 million in excess of the approved estimate. At the time when the Estimates were compiled, the indications were that a considerable slump might be expected during the year and the estimates were accordingly drawn up on a conservative basis. A mild slump did in fact occur during the earlier part of the year, but later some of the trade returns reached record levels. These factors are reflected in the revenue figures which show excesses as compared with the Estimates under all the main heads, with one minor exception. \n\n4. The collections under the main heads compared with the Estimates as follows:- \n\n1. Duties \n\n3\n\nafter the cessation of Military Administration; $586,347 for the Reinstatement of Pre-war Deposits and $572,806 for the Cost of New Coins. An increase in the rates of Cost of Living Allowance accounted for an excess over the estimate of $2,303,766. \n\nThe only other excess of any magnitude was one of $1,246,945 under the Stores Department for the Collection and Storage of Sand, owing to the big demand for building purposes; the expenditure, however, was more than offset by increased revenue. \n\n7. There were savings as compared with the Estimates under a large number of heads, the principal ones being Public Works Extraordinary $8,034,359, owing to shortage of materials and staff which necessitated deferring certain major works and the transfer of other big items to the new head for Colonial Development & Welfare Schemes; Medical Department $2,850,743, the main saving being in respect of Medicines and Instruments, owing to delays in delivery from abroad; Railway $2,289,182, also owing primarily to delays in the supply of new materials. \n\n8. As may be seen from Appendix VI, the principal heads of expenditure were:- \n\nExcess (+) \n\nSaving (-) \n\nEstimate \n\nActual \n\n5. Fees of Court etc. \n\n8,561,700 \n\n6.

The Statement of Assets & Liabilities comprising Appendix I may be analysed as follows:- \n\nAssets. \n\nTotals \n\n$151,407,950 \n\n$194,933,955 + $43,526,005 \n\nThe following figures of the total revenue collected during the past three years give some indication of the remarkable and rapid recovery made in the post-war period:- \n\n5. \n\n1946/47 (11 months) \n\n$82,141,556 \n\n1947/48 $164,298,310 \n\nThe major items were:- \n\n1948/49 $194,933,955 \n\nEarnings & Profits Tax $40,285,200; Tobacco Duty $18,861,730; Rates $14,984,710; Stamp Duties $13,969,930; Post Office $9,325,005 (Postage alone $9,097,633); Duty on Hydrocarbon Oils $8,647,607; Duty on Liquor $7,262,967; Railway revenue $7,000,944; Water revenue $6,312,940; Land Sales $5,899,829; Entertainment Tax $4,957,071 and Bets & Sweeps Tax $4,734,315. \n\nFurther details and a comparison with the Estimates under sub-heads are given in Appendix V. \n\nEXPENDITURE. \n\n6. Expenditure amounted to $159,954,023 which was $9,669,918 in excess of the Estimates. \n\nAs is frequently the case, unforeseen expenditure under Miscellaneous Services accounted largely for the excess. The net over expenditure on this head amounted to $27,620,096, the major items being $11,586,380 for the cost of Salaries & Ex-gratia Awards for the Occupation Period; $9,788,971 for the remaining adjustments of pay arising out of the revision of officials' salaries; $602,236 for payment to the Service Departments in respect of Services personnel seconded to the Civil Government for varying periods \n\n$55,784,836 Cash. Of this, $23,277,521 was held locally, mainly in the Bank, and $32,507,315 was in the hands of the Crown Agents for the Colonies in London. Of the latter sum $32,496,000 (£2,031,000) was invested on a short term basis in the Joint Colonial Fund in which most Colonies invest their surplus cash at interest. \n\n$ 4,906,127 \n\nInvestments. The Colony's Surplus Balances are invested in the local Government 3% Dollar Loan to the extent of $4,038,180. The balance of the investments, mainly in British gilt-edged securities, is in respect of various Special Funds such as the Grant Schools Provident Fund. Particulars of these investments are given in Appendix IX. \n\n$ 5,140,178 Supreme Court Funds. These are in the nature of trustee funds held by the Supreme Court on Fixed Deposit and in current account. Further details are given in Appendix XI. \n\n# 48,812,010 Advances & Imprests. Imprests cover a comparatively small sum which had not been retired at the end of the financial year. \n\nThe Advances are largely in respect of the financing of Rehabilitation Loan projects pending the raising of further loan funds, but also include amounts outstanding in current accounts with other Administrations, etc. \n\n$ 39,613,422 Suspense Accounts. This figure represents largely the net debit balances on various trading accounts operated by the Department of Supplies and Distribution. These are offset by credit balances on other trading accounts shown Liabilities. \n\n$154,256,573 \n\nA: \n\n32",

Of the total amount outstanding, $50,000,000 is in respect of the 3½% Rehabilitation Loan issued in January, 1948.

A list of the investments is attached. (b) The Crown Agents were requested to invest a sum of $8,000,000 on behalf of the $1 Note Security Fund out of Hong Kong Government funds held by them in London, against reimbursement by the Fund locally. This reimbursement was not effected until after 31.3.49 but interest for the intervening period has correctly accrued to Government and not the Fund.\n\nThe Crown Agents invested the greater part of this sum on 25.3.49 and at 31.3.49 held the balance awaiting suitable investment.\n\nIt will be seen that the assets against this $8,000,000 amount to only $7,976,522.87, the difference being due to depreciation of the investments on adjustment to middle market value at 31.3.49.\n\nTHE TREASURY,\n\nHong Kong, 3rd September, 1949.\n\nExamined:\n\nP.
