D. 1842, corresponding with the Chinese date of the 24th day of the 7th month, of the 22nd year of Taoukwang, of which said Treaty of perpetual Peace and Friendship, the Ratifications, under the respective Seals and Signs Manual of the Queen of Great Britain, &c., and the Emperor of China, were duly exchanged at Hong-Kong on the 26th day of June, A. D. 1843, corresponding with the Chi- nese date the 29th day of the fifth month, in the 23rd year of Taoukwang; and whereas in the said Treaty it was provided (amongst other things), that the five ports of Canton, Foochowfoo, Amoy, Ningpo, and Shanghai, should be thrown open for the resort and residence of British merchants, and that a fair and regular Tariff of Export and Import duties, and other dues, should be esta- blished at such ports; and whereas various other matters of detail, connected with, and bearing relation to the said Treaty of perpetual Peace and Friendship, have been since under the mutual discussion and consideration of the Plenipoten- tiary and accredited Commissioners of the High Contracting Parties; and the said Tariff and details having been now finally examined into, adjusted, and agreed upon, it has been determined to arrange and record them in the form of a Sup- plementary Treaty of Articles, which Articles shall be held to be as binding, and of the same efficacy, as though they had been inserted in the original Treaty of perpetual Peace and Friendship. \n\nARTICLE I. \n\nThe Tariff of Export and Import duties, which is hereunto attached under the seals and signatures of the respective Plenipotentiary and Commissioners, shall henceforward be in force at the five ports of Canton, Foochowfoo, Amoy, Ning- po, and Shanghai. \n\nARTICLE II. \n\nThe General Regulations of Trade, which are hereunto attached under the seals and signatures of the respective Plenipotentiary and Commissioners, shall henceforward be in force at the five aforenamed ports. \n\nARTICLE III. \n\nAll penalties enforced or confiscations made under the third clause of the said General Regulations of Trade, shall belong and be appropriated to the public service of the Government of China. \n\nB 2 \n\nPat", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-001 - Sir Hug Cough-s China Military Correspondences - 1841-1843.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 216756, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-001 - Sir Hug Cough-s China Military Correspondences - 1841-1843", "page_number": 240, "title": "CO129-001 - Sir Hug Cough-s China Military Correspondences - 1841-1843", "content_text": "\n\nARTICLE XIII. \n\nAll persons, whether natives of China or otherwise, who may wish to convey goods from any one of the five ports of Canton, Foochowfoo, Amoy, Ningpo, and Shanghai, to Hong-Kong, for sale or consumption, shall be at full and perfect liberty to do so, on paying the duties on such goods, and obtaining a pass, or port clearance, from the Chinese Custom-house at one of the said ports. Should natives of China wish to repair to Hong-Kong to purchase goods, they shall have free and full permission to do so; and should they require a Chinese vessel to carry away their purchases, they must obtain a pass, or port-clearance, for her at the Custom-house of the port whence the vessel may sail for Hong-Kong. It is further settled, that in all cases these passes are to be returned to the officers of the Chinese Government, as soon as the trip for which they may be granted shall be completed. \n\nARTICLE XIV. \n\nAn English officer will be appointed at Hong-Kong, one part of whose duty will be to examine the registers and passes of all Chinese vessels that may repair to that port to buy or sell goods; and should such officer at any time find that any Chinese merchant-vessel has not a pass, or register, from one of the five ports, she is to be considered as an unauthorized or smuggling vessel, and is not to be allowed to trade, whilst a report of the circumstance is to be made to the Chinese Authorities. By this arrangement, it is to be hoped that piracy and illegal traffic will be effectually prevented. \n\nARTICLE XV. \n\nShould natives of China who may repair to Hong-Kong to trade, incur debts there, the recovery of such debts must be arranged for by the English Courts of Justice on the spot; but if the Chinese debtor shall abscond and be known to have property, real or personal, within the Chinese territory, the rule laid down in the fourth clause of the General Regulations for Trade shall be applied to the case; and it will be the duty of the Chinese Authorities, on appli- cation by, and in concert with, the British Consuls, to do their utmost to see justice done between the parties. On the same principle, should a British merchant incur debts at any of the five ports, and fly to Hong-Kong, the British Authorities will, on receiving an application from the Chinese Govern- ment officers, accompanied by statements and full proofs of the debts, institute an investigation into the claims, and, when established, oblige the defaulter or debtor to settle them to the utmost of his means. \n\nARTICLE XVI. \n\nIt is agreed, that the Custom-house officers at the five ports shall make a monthly return to Canton, of the passes granted to vessels proceeding to Hong- Kong, together with the nature of their cargoes; and a copy of these returns will be embodied in one return, and communicated once a-month to the proper English officer at Hong-Kong. The said English officer will, on his part, make a similar return or communication to the Chinese Authorities at Canton, showing the names of Chinese vessels arrived at Hong-Kong, or departed from that port, with the nature of their cargoes; and the Canton Authorities will apprize the Custom-houses at the five ports, in order that, by these arrange- ments and precautions, all clandestine and illegal trade, under the cover of passes, may be averted. \n\nXVII, OR ADDITIONAL ARTICLE. \n\nRelating to British Small Craft. \n\nVarious small vessels belonging to the English nation, called schooners, cutters, lorchas, &c., &c., have not hitherto been chargeable with tonnage dues. \n\nIt is now agreed, in relation to this class of vessels which ply between Hong-Kong and the city, and the city and Macao, that if they only carry passengers, letters, and baggage, they shall, as heretofore, pay no tonnage dues; but if these small craft carry any dutiable articles, no matter how small the quantity may be, they ought, in principle, to pay their full tonnage dues. But this class of small craft are not like the large ships which are engaged in foreign trade; they are con- stantly coming and going; they make several trips a month, and are not like the large foreign ships, which, on entering the port, cast anchor at Whampoa. If we were to place them on the same footing as the large foreign ships, the charge would fall unequally; therefore after this, the smallest of these craft shall be rated at 75 tons, and the largest not to exceed 150 tons; whenever they enter the port (or leave the port with cargo) they shall pay tonnage dues at the rate of one mace per tou register. If not so large as 75 tons, they shall still be considered and charged as of 75 tons; and if they exceed 150 tons, they shall be considered as large foreign ships, and, like them, charged tonnage dues, at the rate of five mace per register ton. Foochow and the other ports having noue of this kind of intercourse, and none of this kind of small craft, it would be unnecessary to make any arrangement as regards them. \n\nThe following are the rules by which they are to be regulated :- 1st. Every British schooner, cutter, lorcha, &c., shall have a sailing letter or register in Chinese and English, under the seal and signature of the Chief Superintendent of Trade, describing her appearance, burthen, &c., &c. \n\n2nd. Every schooner, lorcha, and such vessel, shall report herself, as large vessels are required to do, at the Bocca Tigris; and when she carries cargo, she shall also report herself at Whampoa, and shall, on reaching Canton, deliver up her sailing letter or register to the British Consul, who will obtain permission from the Hoppo for her to discharge her cargo, which she is not to do without such permission, under the forfeiture of the penalties laid down in the 3rd clause of the General Regulations of Trade. \n\n3rd. When the inward cargo is discharged, and an outward one (if in- tended) taken on board, and the duties on both arranged and paid, the Consul will restore the register or sailing letter, and allow the vessel to depart. \n\nThis Supplementary Treaty, to be attached to the original Treaty of Peace, consisting of sixteen Articles, and one additional Article relating to small vessels, is now written out, forming, with its accompaniments, four pamphlets, and is formally signed aud sealed by their Excellencies the British Plenipo- tentiary, and the Chinese Imperial Commissioner, who, in the first instance, take two copies each, and exchange them, that their provisions may be immediately carried into effect. At the same time, each of these high functionaries, having taken his two copies, shall duly memorialize the Sovereign of his nation; but the two countries are differently situated as respects distance, so that the will of the one Sovereign can be known sooner than the will of the other. It is now therefore agreed, that on receiving the gracious Assent of the Emperor in the Vermilion Pencil, the Imperial Commissioner will deliver the very document containing it into the hands of his Excellency Hwang, Judge of Canton, who will proceed to such place as the Plenipotentiary may appoint, and deliver it to the English Plenipotentiary, to have and to hold. Afterwards, the Sign Manual of the Sovereign of England having been received at Hong-Kong, likewise gra ciously assenting to and confirming the Treaty, the English Plenipotentiary will despatch a specially appointed officer to Canton, who will deliver the copy con- taining the Royal Sign Manual to his Excellency Hwang, who will forward it to the Imperial Commissioner, as a rule and a guide to both nations for ever, and as a solemn confirmation of our Peace and Friendship. \n\nA most important Supplementary Treaty. \n\nSigned and scaled at Hoomun-Chae, on the Eighth day of October, 1843, corresponding with the Chinese date of the Fifteenth day of the Eighth moon, of the 23rd year of Taoukwang. \n\n(L.S.) \n\nHENRY POTTINGER. \n\nSeal and Signature of the \n\nChinese Plenipotentiary, \n\nPußers \n\nPage 240Page 241", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-001 - Sir Hug Cough-s China Military Correspondences - 1841-1843.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 217079, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-002 - Sir Henry Pottinger - 1843", "page_number": 287, "title": "CO129-002 - Sir Henry Pottinger - 1843", "content_text": "Cesistant Quarter Inaster General, to proceed.

D. 1842, corresponding with the Chinese date of the 24th day of the 7th month, of the 22nd year of Taoukwang, of which said Treaty of perpetual Peace and Friendship, the Ratifications, under the respective Seals and Signs Manual of the Queen of Great Britain, &c., and the Emperor of China, were duly exchanged at Hong-Kong on the 26th day of June, A. D. 1843, corresponding with the Chi- nese date the 29th day of the fifth month, in the 23rd year of Taoukwang; and whereas in the said Treaty it was provided (amongst other things), that the five ports of Canton, Foochowfoo, Amoy, Ningpo, and Shanghai, should be thrown open for the resort and residence of British merchants, and that a fair and regular Tariff of Export and Import duties, and other dues, should be esta- blished at such ports; and whereas various other matters of detail, connected with, and bearing relation to the said Treaty of perpetual Peace and Friendship, have been since under the mutual discussion and consideration of the Plenipoten- tiary and accredited Commissioners of the High Contracting Parties; and the said Tariff and details having been now finally examined into, adjusted, and agreed upon, it has been determined to arrange and record them in the form of a Sup- plementary Treaty of Articles, which Articles shall be held to be as binding, and of the same efficacy, as though they had been inserted in the original Treaty of perpetual Peace and Friendship. \n\nARTICLE I. \n\nThe Tariff of Export and Import duties, which is hereunto attached under the scals and signatures of the respective Plenipotentiary and Commissioners, shall henceforward be in force at the five ports of Canton, Foochowfoo, Amoy, Ning- po, and Shanghai. \n\nARTICLE II. \n\nThe General Regulations of Trade, which are hereunto attached under the seals and signatures of the respective Plenipotentiary and Commissioners, shall henceforward be in force at the five aforenamed ports, \n\nARTICLE III. \n\nAll penalties enforced or confiscations made under the third clause of the said General Regulations of Trade, shall belong and be appropriated to the public service of the Government of China. \n\nB 2 \n", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-008 - Foreign Office - 1844.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 219630, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-008 - Foreign Office - 1844", "page_number": 90, "title": "CO129-008 - Foreign Office - 1844", "content_text": "\nARTICLE XIII. \n\nAll \n\nwhether natives of China or otherwise, who may wish to convey persons, goods from any one of the five ports of Canton, Foochowfoo, Amoy, Ningpo, and Shanghai, to Hong-Kong, for sale or consumption, shall be at full and perfect liberty to do so, on paying the duties on such goods, and obtaining a pass, or port clearance, from the Chinese Custom-house at one of the said ports. Should natives of China wish to repair to Hong-Kong to purchase goods, they shall have free and full permission to do so; and should they require a Chinese vessel to carry away their purchases, they must obtain a pass, or port-clearance, for her at the Custom-house of the port whence the vessel may sail for Hong-Kong. It is further settled, that in all cases these passes are to be returned to the officers of the Chinese Government, as soon as the trip for which they may be granted shall be completed. \n\nARTICLE XIV. \n\nAn English officer will be appointed at Hong-Kong, one part of whose duty will be to examine the registers and passes of all Chinese vessels that may repair to that port to buy or sell goods; and should such officer at any time find that any Chinese merchant-vessel has not a pass, or register, from one of the five ports, she is to be considered as an unauthorized or smuggling vessel, and is not to be allowed to trade, whilst a report of the circumstance is to be made to the Chinese Authorities. By this arrangement, it is to be hoped that piracy and illegal traffic will be effectually prevented. \n\nARTICLE XV. \n\nShould natives of China who may repair to Hong-Kong to trade, incur debts there, the recovery of such debts must be arranged for by the English Courts of Justice on the spot; but if the Chinese debtor shall abscond and be known to have property, real or personal, within the Chinese territory, the rule laid down in the fourth clause of the General Regulations for Trade shall be applied to the case; and it will be the duty of the Chinese Authorities, on appli- cation by, and in concert with, the British Consuls, to do their utmost to see justice done between the parties. On the same principle, should a British inerchant incur debts at any of the five ports, and fly to Hong-Kong, the British Authorities will, on receiving an application from the Chinese Govern ment officers, accompanied by statements and full proofs of the debts, institute an investigation into the claims, and, when established, oblige the defaulter or debtor to settle them to the utmost of his means. \n\nARTICLE XVI. \n\nIt is agreed, that the Custom-house officers at the five ports shall make a monthly return to Canton, of the passes granted to vessels proceeding to Hong- Kong, together with the nature of their cargoes; and a copy of these returns will be embodied in one return, and communicated once a-month to the proper English officer at Hong-Kong. The said English officer will, on his part, make a similar return or communication to the Chinese Authorities at Canton, showing the names of Chinese vessels arrived at Hong-Kong, or departed from that port, with the nature of their cargoes; and the Canton Authorities will apprize the Custom-houses at the five ports, in order that, by these arrange- ments and precautions, all clandestine and illegal trade, under the cover of passes, may be averted. \n\nXVII, OR ADDITIONAL ARTICLE. \n\nRelating to British Small Craft. \n\nVarious small vessels belonging to the English nation, called schooners, cutters, lorchas, &c., &c., have not hitherto been chargeable with tonnage dues. \n\ni \n\nIt is now agreed, in relation to this class of vessels which ply between Hong-Kong and the city, and the city and Macao, that if they only carry passengers, letters, and baggage, they shall, as heretofore, pay no tonnage dues; but if these small craft carry any dutiable articles, no matter how small the quantity may be, they ought, in principle, to pay their full tonnage dues. But this class of small craft are not like the large ships which are engaged in foreign trade; they are con- stantly coming and going; they make several trips a month, and are not like the large foreign ships, which, on entering the port, cast anchor at Whampoa. If we were to place them on the same footing as the large foreign ships, the charge would fall unequally; therefore after this, the smallest of these craft shall be rated at 75 tons, and the largest not to exceed 150 tons; whenever they enter the port (or leave the port with cargo) they shall pay tonnage dues at the rate of one mace per ton register. If not so large as 75 tons, they shall still be considered and charged as of 75 tons; and if they exceed 150 tons, they shall be considered as large foreign ships, and, like them, charged tonnage dues, at the rate of five mace per register tou. Foochow and the other ports having none of this kind of intercourse, and none of this kind of small craft, it would be unnecessary to make any arrangement as regards them. \n\nThe following are the rules by which they are to be regulated: 1st. Every British schooner, cutter, Jorcha, &c., shall have a sailing letter or register in Chinese and English, under the seal and signature of the Chief Superintendent of Trade, describing her appearance, burthen, &c., &c. \n\nup \n\n2nd. Every schooner, Iorcha, and such vessel, shall report herself, as large vessels are required to do, at the Bocca Tigris; and when she carries cargo, she shall also report herself at Whampoa, and shall, on reaching Canton, deliver her sailing letter or register to the British Consul, who will obtain permission from the Hoppo for her to discharge her cargo, which she is not to do without such permission, under the forfeiture of the penalties laid down in the 3rd clause of the General Regulations of Trade. \n\n3rd. When the inward cargo is discharged, and an outward one (if in- tended) taken on board, and the duties on both arranged and paid, the Consul will restore the register or sailing letter, and allow the vessel to depart. \n\nThis Supplementary Treaty, to be attached to the original Treaty of Peace, consisting of sixteen Articles, and one additional Article relating to small vessels, is now written out, forming, with its accompaniments, four pamphlets, and is formally signed aud sealed by their Excellencies the British Plenipo tentiary, and the Chinese Imperial Commissioner, who, in the first instance, take two copies each, and exchange them, that their provisions may be immediately carried into effect. At the same time, each of these high functionaries, having taken his two copies, shall duly memorialize the Sovereign of his nation; but the two countries are differently situated as respects distance, so that the will of the one Sovereign can be known sooner than the will of the other. It is now therefore agreed, that on receiving the gracious Assent of the Emperor in the Vermilion Pencil, the Imperial Commissioner will deliver the very document containing it into the hands of his Excellency IIwang, Judge of Canton, who will proceed to such place as the Plenipotentiary may appoint, and deliver it to the English Plenipotentiary, to have and to hold. Afterwards, the Sign Manual of the Sovereign of England having been received at Hong-Kong, likewise ciously assenting to and confirming the Treaty, the English Plenipotentiary will despatch a specially appointed officer to Canton, who will deliver the copy con- taining the Royal Sign Manual to his Excellency Hwang, who will forward it to the Imperial Commissioner, as a rule and a guide to both nations for ever, and as a solemn confirmation of our Peace and Friendship. \n\nA most important Supplementary Treaty. \n\ngra- \n\nSigned and sealed at Hoomun-Chae, on the Eighth day of October, 1843, corresponding with the Chinese date of the Fifteenth day of the Eighth moon, of the 23rd year of Taoukwang, \n\n(L.S.) \n\nHENRY POTTINGER. \n\nSeal and Signature of the \n\nChinese Plenipotentiary. \n\nPage 90Page 91", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-008 - Foreign Office - 1844.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 219656, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-008 - Foreign Office - 1844", "page_number": 116, "title": "CO129-008 - Foreign Office - 1844", "content_text": "should be signed of, fried, determined, and praished within Her Magerty's Dominions, chall \n\nbe so m \n\nig \n\nmored of \n\nfried \n\ndetermined and punished, \n\nand that Her Majesty's Consals, Free Consils, \n\nother Persons provciconally acting as such under Warrant from the Chief Superintendent of British \n\nA1 \n\nTrade in China, aforesaid, shall have \n\nauthority \n\nauthority to cause any \n\nBulish Subject charged with \n\nthe Commission of any ornice or offence the cogniganu where of may at any time appertain to them or any \n\nکمرو \n\nthem, to be sent for \n\ntrial to the said Colony \n\nof Hongkong, and it is further ordered that this Cheef in stive of the Colony \n\nof Hongkong for the time \n\nbeing \n\nor other Penca \n\nprovisionally acting as such, shall when duly \n\nrequired", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-008 - Foreign Office - 1844.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 219674, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-008 - Foreign Office - 1844", "page_number": 134, "title": "CO129-008 - Foreign Office - 1844", "content_text": "\nmeumbent on the fonsals to enforce \n\nLaws \n\nthe hairs and bidenances inacted by the Cheep Superintendent under the China Act of the last Session and \n\ntherefore it would scascaly be prudente to limit too precisely the proceedings \n\nof the Conials by an bever in Council. \n\nکا کی \n\n\"The next ponit to to provides for \n\nthe \n\nthe Irial in the Colony of Mongkong of Offences committed by British Subjects in thena, and for the transfer of prisoners from Canlar to the Colonial Court. \n\nMay \"But as circumstances at timer render it expedient to \n\nMy \n\nserios offencer on the spot, \n\nWhen \n\nwhere they have been committed, \n\na (lause \n\nis inserted to enable the \n\nto try in \n\ntheef Justice of Hong kong China Offences committed there by British Subjects . \n\n\" Having thus stated to you the tarion's points for which it has been attempted to make provision in the enclosed Draft, 2nd Aberdeen directs me to add thank atters he submits the whole in \n\nto \n\nyour \n\nconsideration, and requests that you will from \n\nhim at your \n\ncarheit convenience \n\nwith a reply to this reference, \n\nin order that the Order which \n\nfou", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-008 - Foreign Office - 1844.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 220071, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-009 - Public Offices - 1844", "page_number": 211, "title": "CO129-009 - Public Offices - 1844", "content_text": ":1 \n\nX \n\n7793 Gingkong \n\nham lices \n\nто \n\nجی old \n\nRECEIVED \n\n00T21 1344 \n\nIn refle & come letter of the 12.

The same considerations vindicate the propriety of the decisions to deliver up to the Chinese Authorities any Sailing who may escape from the penalties which they may have incurred in China.\n\nIt is, however, not equally evident that the Ordinance which was transmitted is properly framed. First, It makes no exceptions in favour of persons who may have joined the Triad Society in ignorance of its designs or under the influence of terror. The latter case, as appears from the Particulars of the Case of the 21st January is not infrequent really. An illustration...\n\nSecondly, an indelible stigma inflicted on the cheek of a Criminal, even if final, when attended by fine (as I presume was intended in this instance) is yet evidently objectionable as fastening on the malefactor a stigma from which he could never be rescued by any future good conduct. It would consign him to a life of infamy and finally obstruct his return to honest and reputable society.\n\nThirdly, The Ordinance subjects to similar penalties the members of all Secret Societies. But mere membership, in the terms of an Association, would scarcely seem to require a punishment so severe or, perhaps, any punishment at all. Fourthly, Exclusion from the Colony is itself an indefinite punishment. It does not offer whether the man is to be banished for life or for any short period, nor what is to be the penalty of returning from such a banishment.\n\nFifthly, It has been stated by a Member of the House of Commons in his place in that House, that by a recent Edict or law of the Chinese Government a number of Triad Society members may be put to death at once, and without any formal trial.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-011 - Sir John Davis - 1845 [1-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 221241, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-011 - Sir John Davis - 1845 [1-4]", "page_number": 44, "title": "CO129-011 - Sir John Davis - 1845 [1-4]", "content_text": "=\n\nIf\n\nof such be really the fact the restitution of such persons would be justifiable because it would make\n\nThe Queen's foot company to proceed.

This is indeed an excellent measure — of Government, to inspire terror and remove the scourge from the well intentioned. But Hong Kong is a new beginning. The Colony and all is in its infancy.\n\nThe people — those who come to trade and traffic — are not very wealthy personages, and the remainder are employed in manual labour and are poor and have no dependence. Many idlers are mixed up with them. Hence there are robbers and murderers and wretches who belong to this brind. Society amongst them; and this is the cause that all along Hong Kong, so frequent losses (theft) occur.\n\nIt is my humble opinion, that these people, resembling weeds, transgress at their homes the laws of China, and at Hong Kong sin against the British regulations. It is therefore a matter of great joy to send them beyond the seas, there to die of age and never to return. They are, however, fellows of a violent and stubborn disposition, and having combined in considerable numbers together they have pledged each other to create disturbance. They consider themselves not subjects of China, and are not willing to observe the English laws, and I am therefore apprehensive that the multitude will not willingly submit to it.\n\nThe land and naval forces of your Honorable Country are more than sufficient for keeping them in cheek, but still we must guard against an unexpected event.

A proud and corrupt Government, like that of China, inflated with the highest ideas of self-importance, viewed honourable and humane concessions as indications of timidity or folly; and where it could not oppose force by force, it would naturally resort to the weapons of the weak,—dissimulation, cunning, and perfidy.\n\nWhen, therefore, we found ourselves the victors of China, it was our duty, while carefully abstaining from doing aught to diminish the control of the Chinese Government over its subjects, to have adopted such measures, and to have taken such precautions, as would have prevented the grievous necessity of another war, by retaining an island or position, as a guarantee, which would command peace; by the establishment of a permanent British embassy at Pekin; and by securing perfect freedom of intercourse for British subjects with every part of China, internal or maritime. This would have been sound policy, and at the same time merciful towards both the Chinese Government and people. The former would probably be saved the disastrous calamity of another war, which may end in the subversion of the ruling dynasty, and the latter, as an imitative and tractable people, would have received the great benefits of unrestricted commerce with a more civilized nation, capable of turning to full advantage the qualities of an industrious and peaceable race, in a country improved by art, and favoured by nature to a high degree.\n\nKeying, a high minister, imperial commissioner, and viceroy of the provinces of Kwang-tung and Kwangsi, respectfully presents this duly prepared memorial to the throne. I, your minister, find that the Christian religion is that which the nations of the western seas venerate and worship,—its tenets inculcating virtue and goodness, and reprobating wickedness and vice. It was introduced into, and has been propagated in China, since the times of the Ming dynasty, and for a period there was no prohibition against it. Afterwards, because natives of China, who professed to follow its maxims, frequently made use of it to commit mischief, the authorities made examination, and inflicted punishment, as is on record.\n\n\"In the reign of Kia-kin, a special clause was first enacted in the penal code, for the punishment of this offence, and hence the natives of China were in reality prevented from committing crime,—the prohibition not extending to the religion which the foreign nations of the west worship.\n\n\"It now appears that the present envoy, Lagréné, has requested that those Chinese who follow his religion, and are in other respects blameless in the eye of the law, be held free from punishment for so doing; and as this seems what may be carried into effect, I, your minister, accordingly request that hereafter all who profess the Christian religion be exempted from punishment, and looking up, beseech the imperial grace. If any should walk in the former ways or commit other offences, they will be adjudged according to the established laws.\n\n\"With reference to the subjects of France, as well as of all other foreign countries who follow this religion, they are to be permitted to erect churches for worship only at the five ports open for foreign trade; and they are not to presume to enter the interior, to propagate their doctrines. If any disobey this regulation, and rashly exceed the fixed boundaries (of the ports), the district authorities will at once apprehend them, and deliver them over to the nearest Consul of their respective countries, to be restrained and punished: they are not to be precipitately punished with severity, or killed. By this will tender compassion be manifested to those from a far, as well as to the black-haired race, the good and the bad will not be confounded together, and by your Majesty's gracious assent, will the laws and principles of reason be displayed with justice and sincerity:—and this is my petition, that the practice of the Christian religion may henceforth entail no punishment on those who are good subjects.\n\n\"Wherefore, I respectfully prepare this memorial, and looking up, I beg that your imperial grace do cause it to take effect. A respectful memorial.\n\n\"On the 9th day, 11th month, 24th year of Taoukwang, the imperial reply was received, assenting (to the petition),”\n\n\"RESPECT THIS.\"\n\nThe above mandate was received at Suchau, on the 25th day, 12th month, 24th year of Taoukwang,\n\nShanghai, 1845.\n\nJ. Mc D.\n\nAND PROSPECTS IN CHINA.\n\n89\n\nIn order, therefore, to accomplish the important objects which it appears desirable should be attained by England, for the sake of China as well as for our own interests, the following points are submitted for consideration:—\n\n1st. The final cession of Chusan to the British Crown. (a) Failing this cession, the island to be placed under the protection of Great Britain, like the Ionian islands. (b) This not being granted, Chusan to be made a free port, open to all nations, with perfect freedom of residence, &c.\n\n2nd. In consideration of the Chinese ceding Chusan to England, we might agree to withdraw our Consular stations from Amoy, Foochoo, and perhaps from Ningpo.\n\n3rd. If the Chinese Government refuse to cede Chusan, then we ought to demand the permanent establishment of a British minister at Pekin, with a guard of honour from a ship of war, to be constantly stationed in the Peiho, and that all official intercourse be carried on at Pekin.\n\n4th. We ought also to require that British subjects be permitted to reside in any part of China, with perfect security for life and property, for the free enjoyment of their religion, and for the prosecution of any lawful and proper business.\n\n5th. That other ports be opened to British commerce, viz., those in the Yang-tze-kiang river, and to the northward; and that it be permitted us to navigate any river in China.\n\n6th. That one of the other islands of the Chusan group, viz., the populous and cultivated island of Lowang, twenty-six miles in circumference; or the island of Tehinsauna, eight and a half miles long from east to west, with good anchorage in both monsoons on the north-east part of the Chusan group or archipelago, be ceded to us. By the adoption of such a system of definite policy, we should be establishing a physical and moral power in China of the utmost consequence to us as a nation, and pregnant with beneficial results of the highest magnitude.\n\nIt is the duty of statesmen to legislate and act for the future as well as for the present.

Last Sunday evening I was in the Police boat with Barker Ally; we were going alongside a China vessel, when something was fired from the vessel; immediately after the shot Barker Ally fell overboard; he rose a little in the water and fell overboard, he rose once, and went down again; I cannot tell for certain if anything else happened or occurred to Barker Ally. I was on the same thwart with Barker Ally; the boat was very crowded; I was not pulling in the boat; I was armed with a musket; I cannot say whether there was a Chinaman in our boat or not; it was Mr May's boat I was in. We all spoke in Chinese to the junkmen. We only spoke a little; it was Hongkong Chinese, we said \"mow tai, mow ladrone\" to the junkmen; they only said \"t'ai t'ai,\" I did not know what I was going in the Police-boat for; it was extra duty. There was a light in the boat, but cannot say if it was shown or not; I remained afterwards and saw the firing between the junk and the men-of-war's men; I did not hear Mr May say anything to the junkmen. There was a number of stones thrown at the boat. I did not see Barker Ally wounded with a spear.\n\n+\n\n(5)\n\nJOHN LEWIS sworn.-I am a Police Constable. I was in Mr May's boat on Sunday evening; Barker Ally was in the boat; I was in the bow; Barker Ally was next to me aft. We went down to two junks, to go on board and see why they threw stones at the other boat. I think our boat hailed the junks, but cannot swear to it exactly; I heard talking on board the junks, but do not know what was said. It was not very dark or light at this time. There was some wind, for the boat was taking in water at the bow, I think there was a lantern in the boat, but cannot say that I saw it. We came within 30 yards of the junks, when they began throwing stones; they then fired at us, but none of the shots struck us. We then went close to the junk. Barker Ally was next to me; he was standing up. I heard him say \"Oh,\" and he turned round; as he turned round, there was a spear run into him. I think a shot struck him. Barker Ally either fell or was shoved into the water by the spear.\n\n(6)\n\nJOHN LEWIS.\n\nTHOMAS SCOTCHBURN Sworn,-I am a Police Constable. On Sunday evening last I went in Mr May's boat down to meet the other Police-boats. Mr May gave some directions to the boat, and we pulled away to the junks; Mr May's boat went on the larboard side and put her bow on towards the junks. I was sitting near Mr May. I do not recollect anything being said from our boat to the junkmen. I do not know whether there was a lantern in our boat; I think there was. We went close to the junks; the men cried out \"t'ai, t'ai.\" I did not hear anything said in reply from the boat I was in. The junk, I think the small one, we attempted to board. I do not remember any stones being thrown at us; there were two or three guns fired; I saw no balls strike the water from these guns; I should think they were shotted guns-I mean ginjals and smaller firearms. Some of the men in the bows attempted to board and were driven back. I fancy I saw a man in the water, but am not sure; several spears were thrust down in the direction of the boat; I did not hear any of them strike the boat. When the junks fired again, I saw a shot strike the water near the Police-boat.\n\n(7)\n\nT. SCOTCHBURN.\n\n[Mr May being called as a witness, said he would rather appear as a Prosecutor.]\n\nCHARLES MAY sworn,-I am Superintendent of Police. On Sunday evening the 15th about half-past 7, from information received from Mr Deputy Inspector Ryan that men in a Police-boat had been stoned by men from a junk while in the execution of their duty, I ordered two additional boats to be manned, and to act in consort with the first boat with a view of boarding the junks and inquiring into the matter; in the three boats were twenty-six men including officers and rowers, most of whom were armed, and who had fifty rounds of ammunition. On arriving near the junks I gave orders for the three boats to board simultaneously, two on the larboard, one on the starboard. My boat was in advance, and steered to the stern of the outward junk. Mr Caldwell was in a boat about ten feet to the rear of my boat. I heard him hail the junks in Chinese, and heard the apparent answers from the junks. Before arriving alongside there was firing from the junks from large and small arms, which I afterwards knew were ginjalls and matchlocks. The boat in which I was was half the length broadside into the junk. I imagined the boat was kept back by bamboos. I did not see the bamboos, it was very dark. I saw a man in the water; on looking round to save him, I did not see him; at this time I was not aware he was lost from my boat. Finding the other two boats did not get alongside, and seeing a determined resistance made, I ordered the men to back water, and directed the two other boats to keep back out of the range of fire; the two junks continued firing after our leaving. There were two Police lanterns in my boat, the light of one of which I turned on myself. I consider myself empowered by Ordinance No. 14 of 1845 clause 7 with any force I consider necessary to board any vessel by day or night in the Harbour-of course having an object in so doing; the Police-boats are in the habit of visiting boats day and night, formerly with regard to arms, in the day time with regard to the Registration, and generally to carry out the regulations of the Harbour, which devolves upon the Police, and of all incidental cases requiring Police interference. Up to Sunday last I knew of the Registrar General having power to visit boats; but not of any other person. Since then-this morning-I saw a letter of instructions to the Harbour-master directing him to visit all trading junks, and leave a copy of a Proclamation and instructions to Chinese as to their general conduct in the Harbour; which Proclamation, I may observe, is not the law, or in force by any Ordinance. These two junks are, as far as I can ascertain, Fokien boats. I subsequently examined these two junks and saw nothing that would induce me to believe them other than trading junks: one had a cargo of molasses, grain, and medicines; the other was empty. In the two vessels I found three ginjalls and four matchlocks, and evident signs of the ginjalls having been used. I heard some heavy substance thrown overboard from the junks.\n\nExamined by Mr Boura.-Our people returned the fire. The junks fired first.\n\n(8)\n\nCHARLES MAY.\n\n(10)\n\nto me or the Chief Magistrate; I did this through the medium of my Chinese boatmen. To my knowledge I have not boarded the particular junk in question; it would be impossible to distinguish one junk from the other.\n\nWILLIAM PEDDER.\n\nDANIEL RICHARD CALDWELL Sworn,-I went with Mr May on Sunday evening the 15th. I was in another boat astern of Mr May's boat; it was dark, and Mr May's boat pulled up on the outward side of one junk, the junks fired at Mr May's boat; previous to this the junkmen were making a noise as between fear and determination. I called out that we were policemen; we were about 120 feet to leeward of the junks at this time; it was blowing rather fresh, and the wind was against us. I dare say I was 20 or 30 feet from Mr May's boat. The junkmen said, as well as I could make out, that if we were police, they would beat or strike. When Mr May's boat was alongside, I saw several spears pointed into her and something fall overboard. Some one called out that a man was overboard; Mr May then backed down and told us to cease firing. I do not know if anything was said from Mr May's boat before the firing. When we first went, the junk people were quite quiet-no fighting on board. We went to the junks to take the Captain for assaulting some Europeans and resisting a Police-boat that went before. Mr May then went on board the man-of-war for assistance. I hailed the man in a broken dialect; they answered in the Chin-chew dialect. From their answer I think they knew we were police.\n\nExamined by Mr May.—I considered the junks were prepared to resist any attempt made to board them by the police or robbers. There were no junks near these two. It is common, if an attack of robbers is made, for all junks present of the same description to assist in repelling it. There were other junks anchored near these vessels; these two junks were burning papers at the stern and stern; this they would do after escaping from any danger.\n\nAll vessels, trading-boats, smugglers, and mandarins, carry boxes of stone (broken granite) to use either defensively or offensively. These junks had not a greater number of men than usual; I have heard, and believe them to be trading junks.\n\nD. R. CALDWELL.\n\n(11)\n\nVERDICT.\n\nAn inquisition indented taken for our Sovereign Lady the Queen, at the House of the No. 1 Police Station situate in Wellington Street, in the Colony of Hongkong, on the 18th day of October, in the Year of our Lord 1848, before Narcott D'Esterre Parker, gentleman, the Coroner of our said Lady the Queen for the said Colony, on view of the body of Barker Ally, then and there lying dead, upon the Oath of Charles Woollett Bowra, William Hayles Franklyn, and John Anderson, good and lawful Men of the said Colony, duly chosen, and who, being then and there duly sworn, and charged to inquire for our said Lady the Queen, when, how, and by what means the said Barker Ally came to his death, do upon their Oaths say, That Barker Ally was killed on the evening of the 15th instant by a certain person or persons unknown, in a certain Junk, while alongside the said Junk, in a boat under the orders of the Superintendant of Police, Owing to the conflicting orders regarding the boarding of junks in the Harbour, we consider the junkmen acted in this instance in resisting persons boarding them; and that in consequence their acts were excusable in resisting their Junk being boarded. In witness whereof, the said Coroner and the said Jury have hereunto set their hands and seals the 24th day of October 1848, the day to which the said Inquest stood adjourned.\n\nCHAS. W. BOWRA. Foreman.\n\nN. D'E. PARKER,\n\nMICHAEL RYAN sworn,-I am a Deputy Inspector of Police. On Sunday evening the 16th, Mr Muir lodged a complaint that some junkmen threw stones at him and some other gentlemen while in a boat. I asked him if anything previously took place between them; he said, No, that there was not the slightest provocation. The other gentlemen with him (two or three) all said much about the same; this was about half-past 7; the Police-boat under Sergeant M'Lean was going on duty; I sent two additional hands in her, and gave Sergeant M'Lean instructions to go and apprehend the Captain and officers of the junks, but not all the crews. I sent an interpreter with him, and instructed him to let the junkmen know who they were; half an hour after, Police constable Wills returned and informed me stones were thrown at the boat; I told Mr May, who told me to go to No. 1 Station and join M'Lean's boat, and to wait till he came down when we saw him, to pull out towards him. I went and pulled round the junks; they were not fighting on board the junks or making a noise at this time. I waited till Mr May came; when he came his boat was first, and went next the junk; he was within about ten yards of the junk when the junk fired; I cannot say if the gun was shotted or not. I did not hear anything said from Mr May's boat to the junk before the shot was fired; my boatmen were making a great noise. I ordered my men to fire when I heard the first shot from the junk; no one gave me the orders; it is at my discretion according to the nature of the case to fire or not. I saw Mr May's boat going from the junks, and heard a cry of \"Go back.\" When the junk fired there were stones thrown I think. After this Mr May went to the man-of-war. After Mr Muir made his complaint, he was at the door of the Station disturbing.\n\nM. RYAN.\n\nWILLIAM PEDDER sworn,-I am Harbour Master and Marine Magistrate. I hand in a copy of a letter I received from the Colonial Secretary on the 28th May 1846, which is a correct copy of the original. I distributed the Proclamations. After these were gone I distributed others; I gave some of them to the merchants and to the Hong where they frequented. I have been in the habit of boarding junks within the Harbour.\n\nExamined by Mr Boura.-When did you distribute the last Proclamations?—I can't exactly state.\n\nBy Mr Anderson.-Are you aware of any other officer boarding junks?-No; indeed by this Proclamation I thought I was the only person to do so.\n\nBy Mr May. Have you distributed any Proclamations within the last six months to the Chinese Junkmen? I cannot answer that question exactly; I kept a record at first, but do not do so now; there have been at least 40 Proclamations distributed among the junkmen. Did you in the boarding of the junks give any verbal instructions besides the Proclamation? I endeavoured as far as I could to explain the Proclamation, that is, if people molested them to bring them to me or the Chief Magistrate.\n\nCoroner.\n\nW. H. FRANKLYN.\n\nJ. N.

I identified it as the remains of the late Captain Da Costa. I myself took a walk on Sunday evening. I went in a westerly direction from Stanley towards Wong-ma-kok.** My way lay along the beach. I must have been within 800 or 900 yards from the spot where the spear-heads were found above referred to. I did not then see anything to attract my attention, except that I observed two large boats with boarding-nettings up. They appeared to keep aloof from the other small boats about.

Unimportant—knows nothing.]\n\n(7)\n\nJUNG ACFORT, groom—I was horsekeeper to the late Captain Da Costa. I accompanied Dr Tweddell on Sunday night to look for my master. I visited the village of Wong-ma-kok. On returning from said village, when about as far as the Stanley barracks are from the village of Stanley, I picked up a three-pronged spear. I cannot say that it had marks of blood on it. I did not notice that the turf was stained with blood near where this spearhead was found. The night was dark. I do not think that cries of distress could have been heard from the spot by the villagers. I have lived with the late Captain Da Costa for three months. I have never been in the village of Wong-ma-kok before Sunday last.\n\n(8)\n\n3d March, 1849.\n\nCHARLES MAY Sworn, a Superintendent of Police. Having received intelligence on Monday morning the 25th of February, that Captain Da Costa and Lieutenant Dwyer were missing from the quarters at Stanley, I proceeded thither with a party of Police and Soldiers accompanied by Mr Caldwell. A soldier of the Ceylon Rifles mentioned that he had seen some drops of blood on a footpath. I accompanied him and perceived the blood distinctly on a path which I subsequently found led from the village of Wong-ma-kok to a fishing hut on the west side of the peninsula. I requested Assistant Superintendent Caldwell to trace the path downward, and I proceeded upward, and early observed the track of blood in single drops at average intervals of a yard apart for above 400 yards—in three or four places three or four drops were close together. The track of blood ended where the path entered between two low stone walls, leading to, and about 100 yards from the village. I searched carefully right and left, and in the path, but saw no blood. I then proceeded through the village, and at the east corner perceived several drops of blood on a stone. A path continued by this stone to the place where two spear heads were stated to me to have been found; this was about 200 yards on the east side of the village. For about 100 yards along this path near to the village there is a thick jungle, and a fire was then burning from the jungle to about thirty yards of the spot where the spear heads were found, and extended backward for more than one mile. I searched on each side the path and round about where the spear heads were found, but discovered no traces of blood, or of a struggle. Before I had entered the village I saw a man on the hill above, to whom I beckoned, and he came to me. I took him into custody, and ascertained his name to be Lo-asee-zoong. I examined his person and found a wound on the right side of the head—such a wound as would be caused by a heavy blow from a stick; had been recently inflicted, as upon pressing it, blood oozed out. On the string or band fastening up his trousers [string produced] I saw several marks of blood; also several spots of blood on his ankles, near the heels. He represented, by words and action, that this wound was occasioned by his falling on a stone. I and Mr Caldwell searched the village, and in three houses we saw wearing apparel hanging up, as if recently washed; they were scarcely dry. A piece of cloth used as a towel was hanging up in the house at the east corner; I saw spots of blood upon it, and evident signs of blood having been nearly washed out.\n\nThe next morning I landed at the fishing-hut accompanied by the Chief Magistrate Mr Hillier. We saw the lowest drop of blood on the footpath before mentioned, and examined another path diverging to the left. On this path I saw three drops of blood at some distance apart: the path led to a cave formed by large rocks resting on each other, in which several bundles of bedding and clothing, and a box containing clothing and some silver ornaments were found by me. A bundle containing clothing was found by Mr Hillier on the top of the rocks; and upon Police Constable Crevy examining it, a jacket on which were visible several marks of blood was found. I then proceeded up the path leading to the village before mentioned, and on which, about 90 yards in length, the track of blood was clearly seen. A very minute examination was made, and in front of the houses in the village three spots of blood were seen by me; and in the path leading from the village to the place where the spears were found I saw several drops of blood. I received information that blood had been seen on some rocks near the water, and upon proceeding there, found the spot to be about 300 yards from the fishing-hut; the path diverging from the path leading to the village, led by the place. There were large marks of blood in four or five places, as if a body had lain there some time, and on one prominent point of rock, there were marks of a body being dragged over.\n\nThe party were about leaving the place, having previously had a search made by means of boat-hooks in the sea near, when a broken spear found at the village fell from the Police-boat into the water: the boatmen were endeavoring to recover this, when the body of Mr Da Costa came to the surface and was brought ashore. When I arrived at Stanley on the morning of Monday the 26th February, three persons had been apprehended, and upon being questioned through the interpretation of Mr Caldwell, the first examined, Lo-akow, stated, that he lived in the village of Wong-ma-kok with his father; that he was at home the previous day. He did not see any Europeans, or any strangers in the village. I showed him some spears and spear-heads which had been found, and some broken sticks or handles. He identified a spear with a single blade as belonging to Tay-apo, but that it was kept in his father's house, a three-pronged spear as belonging to Chea-asam, who resided in the village, and a knife or clipper as belonging to Chea-thing.\n\nThe second prisoner, Lo-yet-show, stated, he lived in the village, but was from home fishing until dark; he did not see any Europeans or strangers that day near the village. He said the two spears exhibited to him were the property of Chea-asam, the knife or copper the property of Chea-apo, and the spear-ends to belong to Chow-asam.\n\nOne we found a towel on which were marks of blood, but it had been washed; there were several pieces of wet clothing found in one or two houses. On arriving at the village I found Lo-asee in custody of Mr May. I observed a wound on the right side of his head, which, on being questioned by me at the request of Mr May, he stated he received in falling upon a stone on the hill. The following day, having been informed that blood had been seen on some rocks near the water, I went with the Chief Magistrate and Mr May, and saw four or five spots† of blood on some rocks a short distance from the water. We made strict search, both on shore and in the water by means of boat-hooks, but discovered nothing. As we were about embarking, a portion of a bamboo pike on being passed into the boat fell into the water, and the man in the bows with a boat-hook trying to recover it, hooked up something white. I desired him to lift it up higher, and on his doing so I found it was the body of Captain Da Costa; I immediately called out. The swell being rather high, I went a short way into the water to secure the body; a rope was passed at it, and it was taken out of the water. I was requested by Mr May to question two boys and an old man whom we found in custody at the barracks on the morning of the 26th; the two former gave different statements as to whom certain spears and spear-heads, which were shown them, belonged. They all three denied having seen any Europeans in their village on the 25th.\n\nWhen the body of the late Captain Da Costa was taken out of the water, I felt for his watch, but it was not on his person, nor had he any rings on his fingers. On Monday, when I arrived at Wong-ma-kok, I observed that a fire was raging immediately behind the village. A spot was pointed out to me where some spear-heads were found a short distance from the village; the grass around was on fire. When I arrived at Wong-ma-kok, Mr May had an old man in custody, named Lo-Assee; he had a cut on his head, which he said he received in falling against a stone. I saw marks of blood on his waist-band, and also on his neck. The five men seized in the fishing-hut or boat might have seen the body of Captain Da Costa thrown into the water from their boat, but I think not. If it had been done in the day time, but I think not. If it had been done in the night time.\n\nI acted as Interpreter to Mr May when he questioned several prisoners that had been seized on Sunday at the village. I have heard the statement made by Mr May, and fully corroborate it, as to the questions put, and answers given by the Chinese.\n\nD. R. CALDWELL.\n\n(11)\n\nMR CALDWELL further states, that the following prisoners had been seized before his arrival at Stanley, and were landed eventually to the Police,—Lo-akow, Lo-yet-show, Chui-assey, Lo-assee alias Lo-yang-ghing. The following five men were seized in a fishing-hut near Wong-ma-kok,—Cauchi fook, Chuw-fook-tong, Cheng-keen-ee, Chan-we-tong, Chun-no-fat, Lo-lee-shi; the wife of Chai-apo, was brought into Victoria on Thursday night last by Police Constable Mars; Woog-sannie was brought into Victoria yesterday (Friday) by an Indian Constable.\n\n(12)\n\nLO-YANG-SHING alias Lo-asse, is arraigned as a prisoner.\n\n(Mr Caldwell on the request of the Jurymen is sworn in as Interpreter.\n\nThe nature of the preceding depositions are explained to him. He is duly cautioned, being informed that whatever he may say, it may be taken down in writing, and used as evidence against him at any future time.] He now states,—I am a native of Namchong, in Kwang-sheen. I am a husbandman, and have resided for many years in the village of Wong-ma-kok, on the island of Hongkong. On the 3d day of this month (corresponding with our Sunday the 25th February,) two English Officers came to the village of Wong-ma-kok about dark. They went into my house; myself was there, my wife was cooking, and my daughter-in-law was keeping the door up. One of the officers, the shorter one of the two, embraced my daughter-in-law, made motions with my hand for him to desist. The girl cried out; my wife went up and pulled the officer away. I also begged them to go away, when the tall officer struck me with a walking-stick on the head—a common stick. [produces a cicatrix on the right side of the head, which seems to be the result of the blow inflicted.] The villagers hearing the cries of my daughter-in-law, came in, and tried to get the officers away. As the villagers came into my house, they were struck by the officers. My head at this time was bleeding; blood came into my eyes; I could not see. A villager standing next door to me, named Chui-apo, with six of his men, came in; they armed themselves with spears; a conflict ensued between these men and the English officers. When it was dark. I could not see the issue of the encounter. The disturbance arose principally because Chui-apo and his men would not submit to the treatment displayed towards my daughter-in-law.\n\nI did not interfere. I think that was wrong. The names of Chui-apo's men are as follows,—Chow-ping, a native of Kwai-shien. Chui-abing, native of Nautow, Cheng-asam, from Kweishen, Chui-assey alias Chung-kek-sing of [illegible]. The names of the others I do not know. Chui-apo has lived in the village for 1 year; he was a sailor, and returned to his native place, San-chuen in Kwei-skeen. Hoy-yeen-ping has been in the village but one month; he has a license from the Government to make gunpowder there. Some of the others have been residents of the village for two or three years. They did not till the ground. They eat grass, and sometimes go out fishing. They are not regularly employed by Chui-apo. Seven or eight hundred took part in the scuffle with the English officers. It first began in my house; 5 or 6 men first entered. Their names I have given before. I do not know the others by name. The English officers did not fall in my house, but they were wounded there. I did not see any blood on the ground in my house. The officers rushed out of the house, but were pursued by the assailants. The name of my daughter-in-law is Lo-chow-sing; she is aged 18 years. She was taken from the village on Sunday night—at all events I have not seen her since. The officers used to visit the village usually. I never knew them to converse with my daughter-in-law during any of these visits. The two men on Sunday, before coming into my house, had entered Chui-apo's, where they had interfered with women, but they were driven out. In the house, during the struggle, the tall English officer wrested a spear from Chui-apo, knocked him down, and kicked him. In aiming a blow at Chui-apo, the spear broke. I do not know whether Chui-apo was wounded.\n\nI can identify the spear that was seen, who had been away from the village fishing for the day. [Several spears are then shown to the prisoner, and he identifies the broken one.] He identified a broken stick which he said belonged to Chow-chong, who broke it in beating a cow shortly after it had calved; he accounted for several spots of blood upon the handle from the latter circumstance.\n\nThe third prisoner, Chuy-see, said he foretold good and bad weather; he had been at the village of Wong-ma-kok lying with the Lo family about one month; he was in the house all day, and saw no Europeans or strangers. The village of Wong-ma-kok is situated on a level space of about five acres, near the top of the peninsula between Stanley and Ty-tam bay. There are four families living there, the heads of which are named respectively, Chou-sheeng, Tau-agar, Tai-apo, and Lo-see. These latter particulars I ascertain from the Assessment Return for Police Rate. I have compared the head of a spear found on the east side of the village by Police Constable Marshall, with the handle of a spear found by Lieutenant Maxwell 95th Regiment, and find the broken parts to correspond; on the handle there are marks of blood.\n\nWhen the body of the late Captain Da Costa was taken out of the water, there was not any watch on his person, nor had he any rings on his fingers.\n\nCHARLES MAY.\n\nWILLIAM ROWLAND MAXWELL being sworn, states.—I am a Lieutenant in H. M. 95th Regiment. On Tuesday last, the 27th February, I visited Wong-ma-kok. In the village I found the shaft of a spear, apparently had recently broken. I found it thrust into a bundle of hay. The shaft now produced is the one I found; it bore marks of blood.\n\nWILLIAM ROWLAND MAXWELL, 95th Regiment.\n\n(10)\n\nwas found by the party of Dr Tweddell, a 3-pronged spear.] it was after the spear was broke that the officers shed out. When I was wounded, my wife shouted out, \"Help, help. save my life.\" The villagers then rushed in, but they did not come armed; they pulled the officers out, and in attempting to do so, they were struck with sticks. The villagers then got spears. The officers did not make any resistance before the conflict ensued and before the spear was broken to escape. In the house of Chui-apo there were two women, one aged 16, a married girl, daughter-in-law of Chui-apo; the other was an old woman his wife. I overheard the result of the conflict, nor do I know what has become of the officers. The Stanley officers set fire to the grass. Late on Sunday a party of officers and men came to the village and enquired what had become of the two officers. I replied that they had been interfering, and a disturbance had taken place, but that I did not know where they had gone to.\" I suspected that the two English officers had been killed, from the way they were fighting, but I was afraid to say so to those that came in search. My eldest son was outside my house during the conflict; he afterwards returned, but did not say anything. I have not had communication, nor yet seen any of the villagers who took part in the conflict.\n\n(13)\n\nLo-yang-sing, after having been duly cautioned in a similar manner to the last deponent, states,—I am a son of the last deponent, and reside at the village of Wong-ma-kok. On Sunday last, I remember two English officers coming to the village; at the time I was not in my father's house, having out-door occupation. I saw them going into several houses looking after women, and into my father's house amongst the rest. On my entering my father's house, I saw one of the officers embracing my sister-in-law; my father interfered, and desired him to desist. He would not; my father tried to pull him away, but could not. The villagers then came in; they were not called, they came of their own accord. They were then armed with spears and knives. They fought with the officers in the house. A spear was wrested from Chui-apo by the tall officer. I did not see any wound inflicted by this officer. I saw him aim a blow at one of the villagers.\n\nDANIEL RICHARD CALDWELL Sworn, states,—I am Assistant Superintendent of Police. On the morning of the 26th ultimo (Monday), in consequence of information received at the Station that two officers were missing from Stanley, I accompanied Mr May to that place for the purpose of making search. One of the men of the Rifles having stated that he had observed spots of blood on a footpath, he took us to it. I was requested by Mr May to trace westward, that is down the hill towards Stanley bay. I observed single spots of blood along the footpath, about the distance of three and four feet apart. In some places several spots were together. I traced the blood to within about 50 yards from a fishing-hut, and about 100 yards from the water. I went to the hut, which I examined. I found Chinese there, whom I took into custody and sent to the barracks in charge of some of the Rifles. I afterwards examined a sampan in the water close to the fishing-hut. I examined it, but found nothing suspicious about her. I then retraced the footpath, and observed the single spots of blood all the way to within a short distance of the village of Wong-ma-kok. I searched the houses with Mr May. In one house I had been frequently at the village.\n\nQuery—Swears—Ed.C.M.\n\n11\n\naway, saying it was improper for them as other relatives with the villagers.

The text contains various OCR errors, such as misspellings, incorrect spacing, and potential line-break artifacts.\n\n## Step 2: Identify and correct spelling errors.\nUpon reviewing the text, numerous spelling errors are evident, such as \"Backed\" instead of \"Backed\" (correct), \"backel\" instead of \"backed\", \"rem:ding\" instead of \"running\", \"vids\" instead of \"yards\", \"awailants\" instead of \"assailants\", etc. These need to be corrected to their proper spellings.\n\n## Step 3: Fix spacing issues and hyphenation or line-break artifacts.\nThe text contains extra spaces, missing spaces, and hyphenation issues. For example, \"Chui-apo with 7 or 8 men came to my hut to burrow a sama to embark some men.\" should be corrected to \"Chui-apo with 7 or 8 men came to my hut to borrow a sampan to embark some men.\" and \"I tent them my sanipat;\" should be \"I lent them my sampan;\".\n\n## Step 4: Rejoin broken sentences and restore paragraph breaks.\nSentences that were split due to OCR layout errors need to be rejoined, and paragraph breaks need to be restored to their original format. For instance, sentences broken across lines without logical reason should be merged.\n\n## Step 5: Indicate missing words due to OCR damage.\nIf a word is clearly missing, it should be indicated with `...`. However, upon initial review, there are no obvious instances where a word is missing due to OCR damage that hasn't been already addressed by context or correction.\n\n## Step 6: Format the text in Markdown.\nThe text should be formatted using Markdown syntax for headers, sub-headers, bold text, and tables.

They did not attempt to go away before. They were not wounded in the house. When they backed out, they were followed by their assailants and then wounded. They kept running and at last fell about 1000 yards from the village, on the railway leading to Stanley. The wounds they received were mortal. I saw them dying. They were not far from each other. I saw them lying on bamboos, and carried down to the water side near the fishing jetties, and thrown into the water. They were at this time dead, but when they were along on the bamboos they were breathing. When they fell, some of their assailants went back to the village for bamboos and ropes. It was dark when they fell. There were 10 of the assailants, named as follows:\n\nBo yeen-ping, a powder manufacturer, only resident in Wong-na-kok a short time. I think from Wong-kong in Kwei-chuen.\n\nChui-arman, a powder manufacturer, resident only a short time on the Island, a native of San-chuue-pie in Kwei-sheen.\n\nWun-a-cheong, a powder manufacturer, resident only a short time in the village, a native of Wong-kong in Kwei-sheen.\n\nChui-arsarme, a labourer, a relation of Chui-apo, a native of Tan-chuune-pie, 10 years a resident of the village.\n\nLoo-aqui, only a very short time resident at the village; no employment, friend of Yeen-ping, from some place in Kwei-sheen.\n\nChoy-a-hing, 2 or 3 years resident of the village; a labourer, from Nu-...\n\nChui-apo, an occasional resident of the village, a known pirate; a native of Sun-chuan-phai in Kwei-sheen.\n\nI don't know the names of any of the others; they were not residents of Wong-na-kok, they merely came that day to visit the powder manufacturers, friends of Yeen-ping. I correctly identify at least 10 that were concerned in the murder. Chui-apo had the handling of the murdered officers. I did not see any one take their watches or rings. He was the ring leader in the fray. When the officers entered the village, I saw that they carried sticks. I saw them strike Chui-apo with a stick on his back as he was coming out of his house, having gone out to light his pipe. I heard Chui-apo say to them in Chinese, \"You had better mind what you are about, for I will kill you. I have done nothing to you.\" The officers were drunk. They threw stones at everybody who stood to look at them. When they entered my father's house, I also went in. I remained there until the villagers came in armed. In the interval, I saw both my father and mother struck; blood was drawn from both of them. They were both struck on the head. They did not call in the villagers to their assistance; they came of their own accord. All the villagers were looking on during the conflict - over 20. My father and mother called out to the villagers to assist. My mother is now in Stanley. My sister-in-law has gone to Little Hongkong to her mother's. The family name is Cheen. Cheen-ur-ching is the name of my sister-in-law.\n\nLO-YANG-SHING, a native of Hongkong. [This man was taken to Stanley by some officers. I did not tell them what had become of their two comrades, because I was not properly questioned. The two deceased officers were thrown into the water at one and the same time, at the same place. During the conflict, I particularly noticed Chui-apo and Chui-arman. I saw them stab the two officers with spears. I can't say where in the body they were stabbed. I cannot say in which hand the spears were held. Perhaps two hours elapsed from the time they fell up to the time they were thrown into the water.\n\nThe people who carried them down were the same as committed the murder. They were thrown into the water to avoid detection. I did not see any of the party burning the grass. Chui-apo was the man who struck the first blow. I don't know that any of the villagers were wounded. It was the small officer who caressed my sister-in-law - the one with whiskers. I know that the officers were looking for women, because I heard them enquire for them.\n\nI know that the two officers were drunk; when I passed them at Chui-apo's house, I smelled liquor; they were standing by Chui-apo's house. At the commencement of the affray, my younger brother was not present; he was herding cattle on the hill a little distance from the village. When the fight was over, he saw the others fall.\n\nA three-pronged spear is shown to the Deponent. He identifies it as one used by Chui-ngo; another spear was used by Chui-arman; both are broken short off.\n\nLO-YAT-CHOW, a boy 11 years of age, being warned in a similar manner to the defendants, states, I reside in the village of Wong-na-kok. On Sunday last, the 25th February, I was engaged in tending cattle. During the evening, I was returning with them. I saw my sister-in-law carrying two bundles of value into one basket. I saw two English officers in the village. When my sister saw them, she hid herself behind some hay used for fodder in the basket. I went into said hay. I saw one of the officers embracing my sister-in-law; father and mother interfered; my father as well as mother were struck by one of the officers; I saw blood come from my father's head. I did not see any of the villagers go into my father's house armed with spears. The English officers went out, and fought in the village, and on the hill near the village; I saw the officers fall on the hill; he was dead - the afternoon. I went to see him. I saw them both afterwards slung upon bamboos, and carried away. I don't know where they were taken to. The following Chinamen were concerned in the affray: Chui-arman, Wun-a-cheong, Chui-arsarme, Choy-a-hing, Chui-apo. The bodies of the officers were carried past the village, that is, through the village, by the same men who had murdered them. None of these in custody were concerned in the murder. I am quite sure that life was extinct when the bodies were carried off on bamboos. I did not see any of the Chinamen take any watch or rings from the deceased officers.\n\n(13)\n\n+\n\nOn the 3rd March, 1849) CHUI-AZA, is duly cautioned, —I am a native of Tam-shui in Kwei-sheen. I am a fortune-teller; I predict good and bad weather. On Sunday last, I was in the village of Wong-na-kok. On Sunday, the 25th of February, two English officers came into the village. I think they were drunk. They began to go into the various houses there, and assault their inmates. I did not see them go into Chui-apo's house; I saw them go into Lo-yaong-shing's. I do not know what took place there. I saw a fight going on in front of the village. Chui-apo and his men did not go into Lo-yang-shing's house. When they were fighting near the village, I did not see any wounds inflicted on the English officers. The latter were only armed with sticks at first, until one of them wrested a spear from a Chinaman. It was getting late in the evening, and I could not see the end of the struggle. Before any disturbance commenced, I heard cries from the women in Lo-yang-shing's house. It was then that the villagers armed themselves with spears and fought. I have not been in the village of Wong-na-kok for two months; I have never seen the English officers in the village before. When I was at Wong-na-kok, I lived in a room adjoining Chui-apo's. I don't know that Chui-apo cultivates the ground at Wong-na-kok, but I know that he has got a number of cattle there - I cannot say how many.

Chui-apo and his men returned also to the village. They left shortly afterwards, on hearing the voice of foreigners. They went to Stanley - I don't know whether by water or land. [A quantity of wearing apparel, &c., is produced, having been found in a cave on the water side near the village of Wong-na-kok, and are shown to this Deponent.] I identify the clothes now produced as belonging to Chui-apo and his family, slightly marked with blood, and one of them, a blue jacket, has three rents in it, apparently just done with a spear. Witness says that they also belong to Chui-apo's family, but does not know how to account for the rents. Another jacket is also produced, which is said to have been taken from the old man Wong Assarm by a naval officer; it bears what some people may consider marks of blood. Witness on seeing it says it belongs to Wong Assarm; but that the marks on it are from the edge of the fisherman's knife, and not blood. - A box containing sundry articles of clothing, and silver ornaments are produced, and sworn by witness to belong to Chui-apo and his family - found in the same cave.] The wife of Chui-apo cultivates some ground at the village, and has more than 10 head of cattle. I could point out scores of them.\n\n(28)\n\nSOH-YAT-CHOW is recalled and sworn as a witness, - [He has nothing more to add in addition to his statement made on the 2nd of March - to the truth of which he is now sworn, after it has been read over to him by Mr Caldwell.]\n\nTaken before me on the date above written,\n\nCHARLES G.

The text includes various sections such as government notifications, news, births, marriages, deaths, and reports on typhoons and their aftermath.\n\n## Step 3\nTo begin proofreading, we need to correct obvious spelling errors, remove extra spaces, and fix hyphenation or line-break artifacts. For example, \"calancity\" should be \"calamity\", \"savo 'ticias\" should be \"said Ticias\", and \"prusion pond\" should be \"prisoner or provision pond\" but based on context, it seems \"prision\" is likely meant to be \"provision\".\n\n## Step 4\nRejoining broken sentences and restoring paragraph breaks where necessary is also crucial. For instance, sentences split across lines without logical reason should be merged.\n\n## Step 5\nThe text contains sections that need to be formatted into Markdown. Headers, sub-headers, bold types, and tables need to be formatted accordingly. For example, main titles should be preceded by \"#\", sections by \"##\", and bold text should be surrounded by \"**\".\n\n## Step 6\nFile references should not have any spacing inside parentheses, e.g., \"XCR (85)72\" should be \"XCR(85)72\". Page numbering lines, if detected, should be kept as they are, usually six lines in total, three at the page beginning and three at the end.\n\n## Step 7\nNewspaper texts might not make sense due to OCR errors in recognizing columns. Reorganizing them like a puzzle might be necessary to restore the original meaning.\n\n## Step 8\nData in tables should be properly organized to reconstruct the table format.\n\n## Step 9\nSome Chinese writing might start from right to left, and if such reversal is observed, the text should be reversed to meet modern reading habits.\n\n## Step 10\nThe output should be in HTML using for paragraphs and \n only if absolutely necessary.\n\nThe final answer is: \n\nAge\n\nherself and infant daughter, were\n\ncalamity Entirely\n\ncut off.\n\nThat the said \"Ticias smithers the month of January\n\nhundred and forty a proportion\n\nlowa\n\ndy creating\n\n\"\n\nby this\n\nfree\n\nof his to a\n\nprovision pond and the one mouth swore if such proportion been, paid fin cases.\n\nof his saying disabled (your) believes that her late husband would have been entitled to a pension during\n\nthe remainder of his life.\n\n\"That it has\n\nbeen\n\na\n\npetitione.\n\nto your Majesty's governmento always willing to take into consideration\n\nand render assistance to the survivors of\n\npersons killed in their device and a lit...\n\nwill be found on reference to the Police.

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

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.

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 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 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...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-068 - Sir Bowring - 1858 [5-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 244720, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-068 - Sir Bowring - 1858 [5-12]", "page_number": 462, "title": "CO129-068 - Sir Bowring - 1858 [5-12]", "content_text": "(14)\n\n(15)\n\n459\n\nto collect the rents. I went to Lum Ateen, who said that he had bought the houses. I told him that I had spent a good deal of money in repairing them, and that there were some rents unpaid, and I asked him to let them to me, I being responsible for the repairs. Lum Ateen said that I might have the seven houses at the same rate as before, $30, to which I agreed. The other house was agreed for the same day, for $25. My previous knowledge of Lum Ateen extended only to knowing him by sight. The house spoken of as being intended for a hospital has not been used as such; it is now a family house. I do not know how Lum Ateen got the money for the houses, and do not know anything of his pecuniary affairs, nor anything about his going to Macao.\n\n**TOMAS BERNARDO RIBEIRO**.-Called and examined. I live in Hollywood Road, house No. 300; have been there since January 1857. I took the house of Mr Caldwell's comprador, who told me that the house was Mr Caldwell's. I am keeper of a licensed boarding house; I pay the rent to the comprador, whom I last saw this morning. He came to my house about half-past 7 this morning of his own accord, and said, \"If any gentleman comes asking you, don't tell that this house belongs to Mr Caldwell. Say that it belongs to Mrs Caldwell, or a relation.\"\n\n[Mr Caldwell admits that he receives the rent of the house, but denies the ownership. He also admits that he is the reputed owner, or in other words, that people suppose him to be the owner.]\n\nI told him that the policeman had asked me who the owner of the house was, and that I told the policeman the comprador had told me the house belonged to Mr Caldwell. The comprador did not tell me that if anyone asked who the owner of the house was I was not to say Mr Caldwell. This conversation was in Manila language.\n\n**CHUN SAMCHUN**,-Called and examined. I am a broker, and reside in house No. 331; the number of the ground lot I don't know. I have lived there ten days, and took the house from a person called Lum Ateen, or rather his collector of the same surname who lives at the Cho Sow Tong. I know Mr Caldwell, but have not seen him at my residence. I do not know about Mr Caldwell having any interest in the house.\n\n**CHOU AH-CHEE**,-Recalled. I have brought my rent book.

I took it from Yee Wo. I do not know who the owner of the house is.\n\n**HO ACHOONG**,-Called and examined. No part of the house in which I live is used as a brothel. There is no brothel on the side of the street in which I live; there is one over the way. The comprador once said that unless I could pay every month I should be turned out. One time he took me down to Mr Caldwell's office. I have lived in the same house as last witness since the 15th January last. I took it from Yee Wo Fook, to whom my boarders pay the rent. I do not know to whom he pays it, nor who the owner of the house is. I said to Mr Caldwell, \"Excuse me this time, as soon as I get ships I will pay.\" Mr Caldwell said, \"I have nothing to do with it; you had better speak to the comprador.\" The comprador said, that I must pay or seek another house. On the 20th of this month I shall owe one month's rent; all the rest has been paid.\n\n**JOHN LYONS**.-Recalled. I have looked at the plan of houses in this colony, and find that house 300 is on lot 204. There are other 5 houses on the same lot, none of which are to my knowledge brothels. The other houses in this lot are numbered 301, 299, 249, 250, 248. Laurenço Pablo lives in a house 248 Lascar Upper Row, No. of license 22.\n\n**LAURENCO PABLO**.-Called and examined. I live in Lascar Upper Row, behind the house of Ribeiro. I keep a Boarding House, and have lived there sixteen months. I took the house of Mr Caldwell's comprador-Lai Sze-kai, who told me that Mr Caldwell was the owner. I pay the rent to the comprador, and last saw him at half-past 7 this morning, at which time he came to my house voluntarily. He asked me what the policeman had said to me, and I told...\n\n**LEONG CHEWKWONG**,-(Lot 204, house 301, Hollywood Road,)-Called and examined. I have occupied this house since the 24th December last, took it from Lai Sze-kai, master of the Tai Cheong shop. I pay the rent to him. He says that he collects the rent for a relation. He has never used Mr Caldwell's name in connection with it.\n\n**CH'UN KUNHEE**,-(Lot 204, house 299,)-Called and examined. I have lived in this house two years. I rented it from Lai Sze-kai of the Tai Cheong shop. I never paid any rent to Mr Caldwell.\n\n[The Commissioners at the request of Mr May proceeded to examine two witnesses on reference to charge \"4 in the second branch of the inquiry. Their evidence will be found printed with the rest of the evidence on the same charge.]\n\nAdjourned to 1 P.M. on the 3d.\n\n## FIFTH DAY,\nThursday, 3d June, 1858. Present,-All the Members.\n\n**GEORGE COOPER TURNER**,-Called and examined. I am a Solicitor in this colony. In December last I was, and still am, Solicitor to the Attorney General. Upon reference to document (M) I can state that, on the 3d January, 1857, I, as Solicitor for the Attorney General, obtained a transfer into his name in the land office, of lots 475, 476, 477, 478, 480, 483, 484, 485, and 507. These lots had been purchased by him from Mr Caldwell. Mr Anstey was very desirous in the latter end of December last, of selling these lots, and I applied to Mr Caldwell to point out where... I think at that time Mr Caldwell said, that he had a friend who was very anxious to buy one of these lots. When I replied, that I did not think it likely that the Attorney General would sell any one particular lot, as he wanted to get rid of the whole together. I made some enquiry as to the lot Mr Caldwell's friend wished to buy, and called on him afterwards to tell him, that the Attorney General would not sell any one lot; the purchaser, if he bought, must take the whole. The lot Mr Caldwell wished to buy was one near the Kulan obelisk; the others are in the neighbourhood of East Point. The whole were afterwards sold to Mr Strachan.\n\nI have collected rents for Mr Caldwell for 11 houses besides. They are not sold I know of my own knowledge that these houses belonged to a sister of Mrs Caldwell, whose name I do not know Chun Atsoo; I know they are the property of Mrs Caldwell's sister, because Mrs Caldwell told me so, and at one time offered to let them to me. Mrs Caldwell managed the affairs of this property. The rents of these 11 houses are paid to Mrs Caldwell, and have always been since I collected them. I collected rent on any other lots for Mrs Caldwell. In the month of February last, I spoke to Mr Caldwell concerning the payment of ground rent on Lum Ateen's property. Lum Ateen was going home he told me to pay the ground rents for him; I said, that I did not know what amount. I had to pay; Lum Ateen told me, I might go to my old master-Mr Caldwell-about it. I went to Mr Caldwell in the month of February, and asked him to give me a note for me to go and pay ground rents. Mr Caldwell told me that he himself was going to pay ground rents, and would wait till Lum Ateen's return, and hand the receipts over to him. He told me that the receipts were at the office; he would get them by and by. I know a Boarding House keeper in Hollywood Road called Tomas. I let him the house in which he lives. I saw him yesterday morning. I said to him, and all the Chinese tenants, \"Don't be afraid; if any inquiry be made, you may say that the houses belong to my mistress [Mrs Caldwell].\"\n\nCross-examined,-Mr Caldwell did not, at the time of the conversation with him, mention the name of the friend; nor do I know for whom the lot was wanted.\n\n**LAI SZE KAI**,-Called and examined. I was Comprador to Mr Caldwell. I ceased to be Comprador from the time Mr Caldwell ceased to be master of the `Eaglet`, about two years ago. Since then I have been partner with Low Ateem in a shop, and now myself keep a shop which is in Stanley Street. When I was Comprador to Mr Caldwell I went with the steamer; I also collected rents. I have had charge of four houses, but I do not know the numbers of the ground lots on which they stand. [The lot referred to is 197.] The present occupants are Lee Koon-tai, Ngow Poo, Chew Angee, Ch'o Ngu, Akwun, who keeps a Chair shop, and Yew Aon-there are eight tenants altogether. I received rents for Mr Caldwell until I went on board the steamer as Comprador, after which I believe Mr Caldwell's cook was collector. After I left the steamer I again collected rents for Mr Caldwell, and continued to do so up to the middle of December last, when the houses were sold to Lum Ateen, after that time I collected them for Lum Ateen as some of them still owed rent.\n\nI delivered to Mr Caldwell the rents as I collected them. When I was collector, for Mr Caldwell, the rents amounted to about $49 a month. The previous evening I went to collect the rents. I was not going to let the houses to them. One of the tenants came to me next morning, and so I went to all. They said some constables had been making inquiry as to the names and occupations of the tenants, and that this was their reason for being frightened.\n\nCross-examined,-The amount of rent due upon the four houses when they were transferred to Lum Ateen in December, was about $70; there is none of this due now. I was in Gaol about the 4th moon of last year, about a debt of my partner. I was 6 or 7 days in Gaol. I have never been in Gaol on a criminal charge. I do not know Chew Alai-nor have I heard the name; neither do I know Chun Atsoo. I had an interview with Mrs Caldwell's sister at Macao, about 4 years ago; I do not know her name. I do not know if she has a sister living in Hongkong. Six of the eleven houses are near the Joss-house in Hollywood Road, and the other are in Queen's Road West. It was after I left the steamer in July, 1856, that Mrs Caldwell offered to let me the houses. I have known Lum Ateen 3 years.\n\n| Name | House No. | Lot No. | Remarks |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Tomas Bernardo Ribeiro | 300 | 204 | Boarding House keeper |\n| Leong Chewkwong | 301 | 204 | Paid rent to Lai Sze-kai |\n| Ch'un Kunhee | 299 | 204 | Rented from Lai Sze-kai |\n| Fong Weikai | 411 | 250 | Took house from Yee Wo |\n| Wong Aoon | - | - | Took house from Yee Wo |\n| Ho Achoong | - | - | Paid rent to Yee Wo Fook |", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-068 - Sir Bowring - 1858 [5-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 244731, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-068 - Sir Bowring - 1858 [5-12]", "page_number": 473, "title": "CO129-068 - Sir Bowring - 1858 [5-12]", "content_text": "470 \n\n\"% \n\ninfluence over the case. \n\n(36) \n\n1 \n\nody. \n\n(37) \n\nFrom the Central Police Station the books, &c., were taken to the Police Court, under the memoranda as referred to the second charge, which were found in the house. The Acting Colonial Secretary \n\nup, I do not know by whom. I do not know anything about their transmission up to the Government Offices. To the best of my knowledge all the books, &c., found in the house, were sent from the Station to the Police Court, to be transmitted to Government Offices. I am not certain that when so sent they were sealed.\n\n[The Commission then proceeded to take secondary evidence tendered by Mr May, of the contents of these memoranda to the best of his recollection, reserving for after consideration the question of the admissibility of such evidence.]\n\nI replied that I did not see that we could legally hold the charge of Jarman, and they were still in his charge when I saw them. I should like to recall to his recollection a similar case, in which an influential man had been in custody on a charge of munitions of war, including gunpowder, shot, guns, muskets, shields, stinkpots, &c., as could by no possibility have been employed for any purpose but that of piracy, and which were examined by Mr Stace, Mr Caldwell, and an interpreter, and remained so, I believe, until the time they were sent to the Magistracy for transmission to the Government. I believe, of confederation with pirates, when he was Acting Attorney General, and in which he had insisted that the Police should retain possession of the shop. In consequence, it was arranged that one shop, which was considered more as the family residence of the prisoner, should be given up, but that the remainder of his premises should remain in the hands of the Police. I was Acting Assistant Magistrate at this time. My belief is that Dr Bridges interested himself because of the movement of Mr Caldwell in the matter.\n\nAfter the prisoner, Ma-chow Wong, was committed for trial, application was made that he should be admitted to bail. The Committing Magistrate refused to accede to the application, and an application was then made to the Judge in Chambers for the admission of the prisoner to bail. The prisoner was bailed, and I saw Mr Caldwell come with the bail to the Police Court, I think at the time it was accepted by the Chief Magistrate.\n\nAfter the trial and conviction, the memoranda remained in my possession. I heard that appeals had been made to His Excellency the Governor in Council to pardon the prisoners. I firmly believed that the existence of the memoranda was then known to the Acting Colonial Secretary because the existence was known by the Chief Magistrate and Acting Attorney General, to whom I knew the Acting Colonial Secretary had spoken on the subject of the prisoner's pardon. I did not make a direct communication to the Government on the subject of those memoranda. I thought it certain that a communication would be made to me by the Acting Colonial Secretary on the subject of the prisoner's pardon, when of necessity the memoranda would have been exhibited. No such communication was made to me until the appearance of an article in the China Mail newspaper, which article adverted to the existence of the information contained in these memoranda.\n\nI was summoned to attend a meeting of the Executive Council and found that Mr Dixson, Mr Lane, and some other civilian, had also been summoned to the Council. When I was called into the Council room, His Excellency the Governor said he had noticed certain statements in the China Mail and asked me if I had in any way authorised those statements. His Excellency the Governor said he would take the statement as they appeared seriatim, and reading the first charge asked me if I had authorised that. I do not now know what the first charge was. I said \"No, I had not authorised it;\" the Governor then read the second, and to the same query I answered in the affirmative. His Excellency asked for proof I had, and I then produced the memoranda referred to. It was apparent to me that His Excellency up to that time had not known of the existence of the memoranda.\n\nWith the permission of the Council I read such portions of the memoranda and I could not help observing that the reading of these memoranda produced a considerable effect on the Council. The Acting Colonial Secretary said he did not know of the existence of the memoranda till that time, and His Excellency the Governor was very angry that papers of such importance had not come to his knowledge before.\n\nI handed to the Acting Colonial Secretary the papers containing the memoranda, saying when I did so, \"I leave these in your hands.\" I have not seen the memoranda since. With regard to the original books and papers, I know that in obedience to an order from the Acting Colonial Secretary, all the papers and books of consequence, including those from which the memoranda had been taken, were sent up to the Government Offices; but whether to the Acting Colonial Secretary's office or to the Chinese Secretary's office, I do not know. To the best of my knowledge they passed from the hands of the Police to the Chief Clerk in the Magistracy, and from him to the Government Offices.\n\nMy impression at the time was that these memoranda did not contain evidence of matters which formed the subject of either of the two pending inquiries, or which could have been adduced in evidence on the trial on either of the indictments before the Supreme Court. I believe that all the books, papers, and writings seized in the house and shop of Ma-chow Wong were taken possession of by Inspector Jarman because the warrant was directed to him. Those found in the Kwong-yik Loong shop related exclusively to the two cases under investigation; those found in the house are those from which alone the memoranda were extracted, and these were taken from the house to the Central Station in an iron chest, of which Mr Jarman had the key. They remained, to the best of my knowledge, in his custody until examined by Tong Ait in my presence, after which they still remained in Jarman's custody.\n\n### Memoranda Contents\n\nNo. 1.-There were about 15 items, with dates of purchases of guns, gunpowder, stinkpots, shot, and muskets. I cannot say within what years. There were some single payments of as much as 50 taels for powder and 600 taels for cannons. The books bore on them the seal, and some the name, of Ma-chow Wong.\n\nNo. 2.-One item of delivery of a large quantity of saltpetre or sulphur, to a man—a manufacturer of gunpowder—at Shek-tong-tsui, a village beyond West Point.\n\nNo. 3.-There were about a dozen entries of payments of very considerable quantities of cash—called \"ancient\" cash, as much as 200,000 or 300,000 cash each entry, paid for articles of consumption.\n\nNo. 4.-Three or four covers of books, the leaves being torn out, and on the back of the books was written \"Monthly payments from such and such a gambling house to Ma-chow Wong.\"\n\nNo. 5.-There were two or three entries of payments made to Ma-chow Wong, for and on account of the Sunon people.\n\nNo. 6.-Was a book shewing an account of monies received by Ma-chow Wong, a lessee of the village of Cheem-sha-tsui, on the opposite shore, and an entry of a payment of so many dollars to Kowloong Police runners, on some business connected with Cheem-sha-tsui.\n\nNo. 7.-A page of a book, an account of receipts either for or from Mr Caldwell, amounting altogether in different amounts to more than 600 taels. It did not say in respect of what.\n\nNo. 8.-A paper which was written to this effect, \"An agreement between some man in the lower bazaar, Ma-chow Wong, and Mr Caldwell, that if the lower Bazaar man was successful in an ejectment case, the property was to be sold to Mr Caldwell for a certain sum of money, I think $1000—of which certain sum $500 were to be allowed as expenses of the suit, the remainder of the purchase-money going to the vendor.\"\n\nNo. 9.-There were some papers in English in Mr Caldwell's hand-writing, receipts for wages paid to a man named Beaver, for his services on board a lorcha: some of them said \"received from Mr Caldwell\" and some \"from Wong Akee.\" Other receipts for sums paid to other Europeans for similar services; one was to the best of my recollection for a sum paid to Graham. There was one paper directed to a European shipwright—\"Please deliver the Hongkong—I think Mr Ross—bearer some spars, and place the same to my account,\" signed by Mr Caldwell, dated 1856 or 1857.\n\nNo. 10.-A letter from the Commandant at Kowloong to Wong Akee's partner—a Chinese name—thanking him for his services with reference to certain property which had been taken from Kowloong when the military went over there, and had been restored, and requesting this man to thank Mr Caldwell for his services.\n\nNo. 11.-A cover of a letter from a man who was known as a pirate—I forget his name—who, in 1856, escaped from the Police through the aid of Ma-chow Wong from Ma-chow Wong's house, and who was at the time of writing the letter in the service of Chan Kwei-tsik. The cover said \"from so and so, at such a place, to Wong Akee.\" I do not know whether the cover stated that he was in Chan Kwei-tsik's service, or whether the interpreter inferred this from the locality whence it came, or other circumstances.\n\nNo. 12.-There was a money account between Ma-chow Wong and some one at Singapore, relative to what in my memo. was described as the \"slave trade,\" the buying of persons and reselling of them at Singapore.\n\nNo. 13.-There were about ten entries of payment to lawyers, most of them mentioning Mr Stace's name, but not in respect of what business.\n\nNo. 14.-An entry of a receipt of money—it was a money account, and therefore I conclude a receipt—of a sum of money for service rendered by Wong Akee in obtaining the assistance of an English man-of-war, to recover a vessel from pirates.\n\nNo. 15.-There must have been also an entry shewing him to have been connected in some measure with the robbery of silk from Messrs Gibb, Livingston & Co.'s godowns, but what the entry was I do not recollect.\n\nNo. 16.-A paper shewing the number of guns fired at different places.\n\nNo. 17.-A memo. shewing the division of some money as shares in a Chinese boat transaction. There were twelve shares.\n\nNo. 18.-There was some paper, but I cannot recollect what it exactly was, shewing Ma-chow Wong's connection with the Sunon Wo, a house belonging to the people of the Sunon district, and under the management of Ma-chow Wong.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-068 - Sir Bowring - 1858 [5-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 244745, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-068 - Sir Bowring - 1858 [5-12]", "page_number": 487, "title": "CO129-068 - Sir Bowring - 1858 [5-12]", "content_text": "484 \n\n(64) \n\nmen by the Plube Dunbar.\n\nHad I received any such information, I should have applied to the Chief Justice in the matter, for a writ of habeas corpus. Kan Assam and Lee Atong for murder; it was a case of a fruit hawker murdered in Mr Woods' compound, and thrown over the steps below Mr Lyall's house. Dr Bridges spoke to me about that case. He asked me, had I seen the prisoners in the case. I said \"No;\" then he asked me to go with him to the Gaol to see them. One of them was so young, and in fact such a child, that he thought it would be anything but justice to try him on a capital charge. I did go to the Gaol and saw the two prisoners, and this one, Lee Atong, was what we would consider in England about the age of 12 or 13. On referring to the depositions I saw very good reasons to conclude that he was not the guilty party, so I took him out of the dock and made him Queen's evidence.\n\nI have had no conversation with the Attorney General before he gave his evidence to the Commission. I am a little deaf, and can't hear distinctly, but apprehend the questions put to me.\n\nI don't exactly recollect whether Mr Caldwell was sitting on the bench at the time, but the conversation between Mr Caldwell and Mr Anstey was private, and I did not hear it. I remember that something was said about the application for bail standing over for a few days, I think Mr Caldwell was on the bench. [Read letter of 19th January, 1857, from Colonial Secretary to Mr Cooper Turner, saying that the bail of 'Ng Ating cannot be sanctioned until the Chinese New Year holidays have passed by.]\n\nCross-examined,—There was an entry or entries in the books of the Kwong Yik Loong shop, referring to the purchase of blue dye and sugar bearing on the second case. I certainly think the absence of the evidence to which I allude would weaken the case on the second charge if now tried, for there would be a certain amount of identity lost. I think I recollect some entry in the Kwong Yik Loong books shewing a previous connection between that shop and the vendors of the sugar and blue dye, but I cannot say positively about this. There was documentary evidence, which shewed a dealing and an underhand dealing, on that particular day succeeding the piracy, from about early in the morning till about 2 or 3 in the afternoon, and the absence of that documentary evidence would weaken the case if tried now.\n\n## GEORGE COOPER TURNER\n\nCalled and examined. I recollect two clients of mine, Chinese traders 'Ng Aling and Chea Mun-kwong, being seized and thrown into Gaol under the Deportation Ordinance, in January 1857. They were arrested under the warrant of Mr Caldwell, I believe. I applied to Mr Anstey, then sitting as Magistrate, for their liberation on bail. I spoke to him first privately on the subject, and then made a formal application. He did not say whether he would grant the application when I applied to him privately. When I applied formally at the Police Court, I do not remember whether Mr Caldwell was present or not. My application was refused, in consequence of the information Mr Caldwell had given the Government on the question. I think Mr Anstey at the time told me he refused the bail on this account.\n\nI was present and made the application. The prisoners were not brought into the court; the bail rested entirely with the Government. I then wrote to the Colonial Secretary, and had a letter leading me to believe that bail would be granted. I heard no more, but two or three days after I saw the two men being marched down for deportation by the Phoebe Dunbar. I do not recollect any one stating to Mr Anstey that they were very bad characters, and had been guilty of some offence without specifying what, when I applied for bail. I had no intimation from any quarter at all that it was intended to deport these men.\n\nIt is very likely that Mr Caldwell opposed the bail in this private conversation, although I did not hear him. Mr Caldwell is in the habit of frequently speaking to the Magistrate on the bench. I do not think I informed the Attorney General that the prisoners had been deported.\n\nI cannot give an opinion whether there were any persons, other than Mr May, attached to the Police Department, capable of conducting the prosecution of Ma-chow Wong to a successful issue; nor as to what would have been the fate of the case, had not Mr May taken an interest in seeing the inquiry properly conducted.\n\nThe perusal of my letter of 14th January, 1857, to the Acting Colonial Secretary, applying for bail for 'Ng Kamting, does not enable me to add anything to what I have already stated, except that there is difference in the name.\n\n## WILLIAM THOMAS BRIDGES\n\nRecalled at his own request, to correct part of his evidence given on the 29th ultimo, and also to make a statement in answer to some remarks made by the Attorney General.\n\n[The Chairman announced that cross-examination would be allowed on Dr Bridges's corrections of his evidence; but that, although his statement and any answer to it on the part of the Attorney General would be received, no cross-examination would be allowed on either of their statements.]\n\nI believe that I stated that Ma-chow Wong's books and papers were referred for examination to Messrs Caldwell and Mongan, previous to the appearance of the article in the China Mail. Such was my impression, but I find that I was under error, and that the reference was made after the appearance of the article, and most probably in consequence of it. I may state also, that the letter requesting the examination, was written by the Clerk of Councils, and this is probably the reason of the fact escaping my mind.\n\nI was Acting Attorney General, from the 28th February, 1852, to 13th February, 1853; and from 13th April, 1854, to the 15th January, 1856, with the exception of one week. I cannot say if I communicated with any one regarding my report to Mr Secretary Labouchere, recommending the establishment of a Thuggee police system, and the placing Mr Caldwell at the head of it. I have no doubt I told somebody of it. I was requested by Mr Labouchere officially to make this report. I had a long interview with Mr Labouchere and Mr Ball, regarding the different questions connected with the colony, and I had a letter from Mr Elliott requesting me to put what I said to Mr Labouchere in writing, which I did, and to which I had an answer thanking me for it. I decline to answer the question whether I have any knowledge theoretical or practical of that kind of police. I decline to answer what I know about it. If the Commission sits on the subject, I shall be happy to give them the information I have.\n\nI decline to answer whether it was to be introduced here with or without modifications. I don't know that my suggestion was refused. It has not been adopted. No question arose as to Mr Caldwell's antecedents making him unfit for such high office. I do not know whether I have kept the letter from the Colonial Office or not. I was about to be married at the time I received it, and had plenty of other things to think about.\n\n6th January, 1850.\n\n**SIR**, In acknowledging your letter of the 1st instant, I am directed to inform you, that the nomination by H. M's. Government of Mr Anstey to the office of Attorney General of this colony, has been officially announced by the Secretary of State. H. E. the Governor directs me to express to you his high sense of the zeal and ability with which you have discharged the duties imposed on you, while exercising the important functions of Attorney General of Hongkong.\n\n(Signed) W. T. MERCER.\n\nI then turned up a letter from Mr Mercer, in which he states he was unwilling to express himself the Governor's opinion, and therefore left it to His Excellency to write in his own hand. I also lay in before the Commission, letters from the Lieutenant Governor, from Admiral Stirling, and a letter presented to me on the 14th January, and signed by the greater portion of this community, expressing their opinion of my conduct during the five years I had been in this colony. I should never have shewn these documents to anybody, but it is only in a case like this I am compelled to bring them forward, considering that it was impossible His Excellency the Governor could have forgotten the official letter, not three weeks old, or could have been unaware of the opinion in which I was held by my fellow servants, and by the community at large. I wish to state, that I do not consider it to be a question of credibility between His Excellency the Governor and the Attorney General, but that I believe the statement to be knowingly made, with the deliberate intention to attempt to injure me. I have also to state, that when I returned to this colony, Mr Anstey shewed no backwardness in making my acquaintance; he in no way behaved towards me as a person who had been guilty of malpractices, and that, considering his line of conduct towards me recently, it is almost impossible, that had so important a charge been made against me by the Governor, he would not have brought it forward long ago. I wish merely to add with...\n\n(65) \n\n...His Excellency the Governor, stated to him what I had heard, and asked him if anything of the kind had taken place. His Excellency stated, that he should take no official notice of anything which occurred before the Commission until it had concluded its labours; but he assured me that he had made no such statement, and added that it would have been impossible for him to have appointed me Acting Colonial Secretary if he had done so. Had the matter remained there, I should have been content to pass this matter by, as one of those aberrations from the truth to which the Attorney General is continually liable; but when I found that the Commission had printed this statement, I deemed it necessary for my own defence, and also for the instruction of the Commission as to the weight to be given to any statement of the Attorney General, to go further into the matter. I turned up from the records of the office an official letter written to me on the 5th of January, 1856. I left the colony on the 15th January, 1856. That letter is from Mr Mercer, the then Colonial Secretary, as to the formal part of it; but as to the substantial part is in the Governor's own handwriting, and is to the effect...\n\nCross-examined, I do mean the Commission to understand, that Mr Mongan was not informed at that meeting, or any other meeting of the Executive Council, of the authority of Mr May's memoranda,-on which that statement in the China Mail was made, and that he was not examined on those memoranda. I have never had anything to say to any of the papers, beyond the conversation with Mr Mongan. The papers regarding the Ma-chow Wong and Beaver case were in the hands of the Clerk of Councils, and the Ma-chow Wong papers were in the hands of Mr Mongan, who made an application as to what was to be done with them. That is the only reason I can give why the one set was destroyed and the other not.\n\nI now proceed to my statement. I happened accidentally to come in here on the 28th of June, and I heard the Attorney General state that within two days after his arrival, therefore on the 2d February, 1856, His Excellency the Governor begged him to make it his business to bring to light, and if necessary to punish, the malpractices of which he complained. Mr Anstey begged to specify in particular to the Commission the malpractices of the Police, and of his own department of Attorney General. Now, as I was the only officer who had acted Attorney General with Sir John Bowring, those malpractices, if any, must have been mine. I went in to...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-068 - Sir Bowring - 1858 [5-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 244749, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-068 - Sir Bowring - 1858 [5-12]", "page_number": 491, "title": "CO129-068 - Sir Bowring - 1858 [5-12]", "content_text": "## 488 \n\n(72) \n\nany \n\n+ Re-examined,—I went from here to Canton in a lorcha belonging to Ma-chow Wong, in October or November 1856. About a week after I was evidence for a man named Leong Ahee, who was charged with piracy. Mr Anstey allowed me to be examined, and afterwards told the Court my evidence could not be taken. I was a passenger on board this lorcha, belonging to Ma-chow Wong. I never sailed or served in a vessel which I knew to belong to Mr Caldwell or Ma-chow Wong, or in any vessel in which to my knowledge they had any interest or share. Beaver was in command of the lorcha at that time. The first time I saw Mr Caldwell was about three years ago in this place. I have known Mr Grand-Pre for about the same time. I have never been intimate with either of them. I am better acquainted with Mr Grand-Pre, because when I came down from Shanghae I had a good deal to do with him at the Police Station. I know Mr Tarrant the Editor of the Friend of China. I do not recollect his asking me two or three years ago about Ma-chow Wong and the Eaglet. I may have had some conversation with him on that subject, but have forgotten it, it is so long since.\n\nMr May, who replaced it in the tin-box in which it was found, asked me a great many questions, and in a ridiculous manner. It was not handed to the Jury, but a piece of calico with some Chinese figures on it was. I gave Beaver an order to get it when he was discharged from Gaol. I gave him an order to get all the papers which I had when arrested, but do not know whether he got possession of this paper. I believe he did. I was told so by a short sentence prisoner. I got this paper from Beaver himself; it was not his intention to give it to me. We were in two separate boats, and I sent on board his boat for some cigars, and at the bottom of the box which he sent me I found this paper. I could not say in whose handwriting it was, and that is all I know of it. I might have said in the Supreme Court that it was as likely to be in Mr Caldwell's handwriting as in anyone else's, but I could not have said that it was in Mr Caldwell's handwriting, for I do not know Mr Caldwell's handwriting. The paper did not mention Mr Caldwell's name, nor do I recollect the name \"Samkwei\"; it was addressed to \"Charles Peapa.\" The paper I first alluded to is that which was produced at the Supreme Court. There were several papers, but the one I read in Court was that which I am speaking of. The one which I wished taken particular care of was one concerning my own business, nothing concerning Mr Caldwell that I know of. If anyone stated that I said that I had a paper which was of the very greatest consequence, and could get me out of trouble, such statement is wrong. There was a paper of great consequence but concerning only my own affairs. I don't think that the paper produced in Court recommended Ma-chow Wong to the notice of the pirates for the purchase of provisions and other articles from him. The paper did not mention Ma-chow Wong as being Mr Caldwell's brother.\n\nI knew the Eaglet, which Mr Caldwell used to command. I was never in any way connected with her. I have only been on board once, when I went on board of her in Hong-kong to see Mr Stone the Engineer. I have not sailed in her company, nor under her convoy. I have seen her several times outside, but I cannot say that she was engaged in any piratical expedition. I cannot say whether Ma-chow Wong was part owner of the Eaglet, or whether he was connected with her in any way.\n\n[Read a condensed report of what Eli Boggs said on his defence at the Supreme Court, concerning Mr Caldwell's and Ma-chow Wong's connection with the pirates.]\n\nThis is always what I understood to be the case, but I could not swear positively to it. My knowledge on these points is derived from what I have heard spoken by the Chinese. If I mentioned the names of individuals who could give evidence on the subject, I don't think that you would be able to find them now. I remember going into Mr Scarth's office with a Chinaman; I wanted Mr Scarth to interest himself in the case of six men, who had been wrongfully taken up for piracy. Mr Scarth told me that the man I came with was one of the greatest rascals unhung, and that I would do well to avoid his company. He had been brought to me by a Chinese merchant, to interpret about another person. I believe this man had very considerable dealings with Ma-chow Wong.\n\nI saw the Eaglet outside several times myself. I understood from the pirates there that she had been sent out by Mr Caldwell. I saw her the last time out by the island of Taiwan, about eight miles from here. On these occasions, she did not hold any communication with them, or bring provisions. On the occasion at Taiwan, I did not see what she was doing. We were on one side of the island, and she on the other.\n\nLyons was up in the Gaol one day, and asked me if I knew where the paper which I had read at the Supreme Court was. I told him I saw it put back in the box at the Supreme Court. I believe he asked me a few questions. He might have asked me who had written the paper, but I could not have told him that it was written by Mr Caldwell, for I do not know, and cannot say that I have any reason for thinking that it was written by Mr Caldwell. I believe he said something to the effect that if he was brought up, he would like to be able to produce this paper, to show that Mr Caldwell was connected with that sort of people. I said that I had the paper at one time, that I did not know if I could produce it then, that I was in trouble myself, and did not wish to meddle with other people's business.\n\nAs far as Ma-chow Wong is concerned, I am pretty confident that he levied black-mail on the pirates. My conclusion that Mr Caldwell participated in this is drawn from what I have heard said. I have seen refreshments come on board, which the pirates said came from Mr Caldwell. I have known money going away from the vessel, which they stated was going to Ma-chow Wong and Mr Caldwell; but I cannot say whether it was true. I understood from the pirates outside that they had to give Ma-chow Wong money to give to Mr Caldwell, otherwise vessels would be sent out to take them. I know it to be the case.\n\n(73)\n\nI believe that 'Ng Tai-sin's title was 'Ng Man-sui; he had another name, 'Ng Sing-ying.\n\nThat persons, whether pirates or not, who offended Ma-chow Wong, or failed to comply with his terms, were denounced to the Police and brought to trial and conviction. In the instance of Leong Ahee, in which case I was a witness, I afterwards found out that Ma-chow Wong demanded $500 from him and on his failing to give him this, had him taken up to the Court. There was a man of the name of 'Ng Tai-sin, from whom Ma-chow Wong wanted $500; and on his not paying it, he was arrested for something, I think as a suspicious character, and kept in Gaol for some time. He told me of the demand while in Gaol. My impression is, that those pirates who paid black-mail sailed their ships on the supposition that Mr Caldwell and Ma-chow Wong would assist them, and not act against them.\n\n## Wednesday, 2d June, 1858.\n\n### JOHN HAMILTON RANDALL,-Called and examined.\n\nI know Mr Caldwell. I first knew him in 1851, and first had business relations with him in 1855 as Chief Officer of the Steamer Eaglet, which belonged to and was commanded by Mr Caldwell. I knew George Stone; who was Chief Engineer and brought the Steamer from Calcutta, prior to my joining her. I remained on board the Eaglet as Chief Officer from July 1855 to September 1856. I left my situation, and came down accordingly. Mr Caldwell commanded her himself from July 1855, till about April 1856, in every trip she made. From April till September, Captain Toms, at present of the Cana Family Receiving Ship, commanded her. The Eaglet was ostensibly employed in the Convoy Trade, and in carrying passengers and cargo.\n\n| Role | Name | Period |\n|-------------|-------------|---------------------------------|\n| Commander | Mr Caldwell | July 1855 - April 1856 |\n| Commander | Captain Toms| April 1856 - September 1856 |\n| Chief Officer| Randall | July 1855 - September 1856 |\n| Chief Engineer| Stone | Prior to July 1855 |\n\nShe was in the habit of convoying sometimes lorchas and sometimes other Chinese vessels. When first I joined her, she had no guns on board; about the beginning of August, she took in 8 guns from 4 to 9-pounders. She was at times in the employment of the Government for the suppression of piracy, in connection with the naval forces. On one occasion coming from West Coast, she was asked by the mandarins to go and protect some junks, which had been attacked by a lorcha, and two other small Chinese craft.\n\nWe had gone from here to Hoihow with convoy and cargo, and were requested by the mandarins of Mamee. I do not know whether the mandarins made any arrangement for remuneration. We went as requested in chase of these pirates, and we got as far as the Westward of St John's Island, where we saw the lorchas and junks steering in for Shatái. We steamed and made sail after them. They got into the bay first before we could get in; the lorcha got behind the rocks, and the two smaller vessels ran ashore. The lorcha commenced firing at us as soon as we got into the harbour. The other two smaller boats, which had been taken from Mamee by the pirates, ran ashore and were abandoned. We lowered the boats and brought them out, and anchored them close to the ship—the lorcha still firing. We tried to take the lorcha, but she was too strong for us. One of their shots struck the hull of the vessel at the water's edge, and a great many passed over the steamer. We left the bay towing the two boats, and anchored for the night to the Westward of St John's. Next morning we got up steam, and in the afternoon arrived at Mamee, with the boats in company. The boats were identified by people of the place and given up to them. They contained only damaged potato flour, and a trifling quantity of rice.\n\nI was sent down from Ningpo to Hong-kong by Sir John Bowring, for the purpose of giving evidence relating to a fleet of pirates with whom I had been imprisoned for about four months and a half. I was told His Excellency sent word up there, that he would give me a reasonable remuneration for my lost time and expenses if I would come down. I remained here about 24 months. I came up to the Government Office, occasionally to see Mr Mercer, and was up once to see His Excellency. I received $108 or $110 altogether from the Government. Mr Rienaecker, who was Colonial Treasurer at the time, has the account.\n\nI have had no correspondence nor communication with Mr Caldwell on the subject of this inquiry. I spoke to Mr Grand-Pre when he came to see me about this inquiry. I asked him what he thought of it, and what I had best do if called on to give evidence. He said he had no advice to give either one way or the other; that a man would do best to act by his own conscience, and that he had nothing to do with it. When I say that the other papers found on me when arrested do not refer to this case, I mean that they do not refer to the present inquiry. I first learned what the enquiry was about from the newspapers. I believe that Lyons said something to the effect, that he wished to get the paper to be able to produce it, if brought up himself, against Mr Caldwell.\n\nMy reasons for believing the paper to have been written by Caldwell, were that Ma-chow Wong being in connection with Mr Caldwell, it follows as a natural conclusion, that Mr Caldwell might write that paper for him. I have heard Beaver several times say, that the lorcha in which he was, belonged partly to Mr Caldwell, and partly to Ma-chow Wong. The conclusion I came to regarding the name being spelt wrong, was that the person who wrote it had got the name, Pea-pa from Ma-chow Wong. The note was written well, and every other part of it properly spelt. It appeared to be written by a person who did not know the name of the person to whom it was addressed. The Chinese pronunciation of Beaver would be something like Pea-pa. For instance, they called De Alai for Eli.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-068 - Sir Bowring - 1858 [5-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 244751, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-068 - Sir Bowring - 1858 [5-12]", "page_number": 493, "title": "CO129-068 - Sir Bowring - 1858 [5-12]", "content_text": "## Proceedings of 8th July continued.\n\nI recollect the apprehension of a man who was charged with stealing a watch from Mr Lapraik. I was examined in the gaol upon a subsequent charge of piracy against the same man. I was examined in the presence of the Acting Colonial Secretary, Mr Caldwell, Mr Inglis, and a Chinese prisoner named Kwan Chan-hee. From circumstances, I imagined the man was accused from dislike between him and Ma-chow Wong and Kwan Chun-hee and this man.\n\nWhen I was examining him, he brought out some pieces of red paper, eight or nine inches long, with Chinese characters, which were interpreted to me by one of the Chinese in the station named Ahee. It was to the effect that Beaver was an American, a very good man, and had been some time in his employ; I kept it for a day or two before producing it by me before Mr Mitchell. I cannot recollect whether Mr Caldwell was there when I told Mr Mitchell of the interpretation I put upon the paper or not. I don't think I told Mr May about the paper while the trial was going on.\n\nIn a day or two after Beaver was remanded, I was sent for by the Acting Colonial Secretary. At about 6 o'clock in the morning I went to the Acting Colonial Secretary's house. He commenced questioning me, as licensing day was coming on, about the Comprador of the steamer.\n\nI know from reference to my chart, that Luy-chow near Hainan is from 8 to 10 miles from the mouth of a river; it stands a little way back from the shore. I have been past, but never in it.\n\n[Read Lyons' evidence concerning his visit to the Gaol to inquire about Beaver and the paper, and Beaver's conversation with himself.]\n\nI agree with nearly every portion of it. Beaver himself told me that he was with Akwai. I was at Boggs's trial.\n\nWhen I came here yesterday, there was a paper shown to me, and I was asked if I knew the character of the different Public-house keepers. After that I saw the paper produced. I do not know what was done with the paper before.\n\nThe steamer was about a mile and a half from the shore. The Elders of the village came on board and made an arrangement with Mr Caldwell for the payment of a sum of money if we could catch these desperadoes, but I do not know the amount. The boat went for the purpose of assisting people belonging to the Elders, and Mr Caldwell went in it. There were four armed men, four men pulling, the second Engineer and the Captain. When Roberts and Lyons asked me these questions, they did not tell me they should want me to give evidence. Yesterday, Roberts told me he had written down what I had said. I told him I thought it very curious, and that if I had seen the paper before, I should not have said anything. The answer I gave was that I had seen a paper written by a friend of mine about a year before; it was relating to the sale of a lorcha.\n\nThe Acting Colonial Secretary then remarked that the prisoner had that paper in his possession, and had given it to Kwan Chun-hee, and that the prisoner was head partner in the purchase of the lorcha. The Acting Colonial Secretary then went on to say that the paper had been given by this prisoner to Kwan Chun-hee within the last few days in Gaol, and that Kwan Chun-hee had given it up to accuse the prisoner.\n\nThe Acting Colonial Secretary then asked me about the searching of the prisoner at the Station, and I said I thought it was impossible he could have been locked up, without any paper which he might have had on his body being found.\n\nRe-examined,--During the time in which I was employed on board the `Eaglet` we never made any prisoners. In the Kulan affair there was loss of life sustained--five of the `Rattler's` and six or eight of the `Powhattan's` men were killed, besides other casualties. The information that the junks captured at St John's were pirates was obtained from the prisoner before his arrest.\n\nThe Acting Colonial Secretary asked me if I had ever seen a fleet of two or three hundred junks which we met on our way to Mameë. I told him I had seen them one time previously, when he was making a charge in the Central Police Station. He then asked me if I could recognise a man named Yik-foo, if I saw him. He then asked me if the prisoner was not Yik-foo, and I said that he was not.\n\nThe Acting Colonial Secretary then sent me round to the Gaol to take another look at the prisoner, and assured me that the prisoner was not Yik-foo. I returned, and told him I was certain he was not Yik-foo. He then asked me, as the prisoner was sick at the time, could his sickness not have altered him, so that I could not recognise him. I assured him he was not Yik-foo, upon which I was dismissed.\n\nA short time afterwards I met the Acting Colonial Secretary at the Central Police Station, and in speaking to him I remarked that I had been told by one of the European prisoners, that the paper had been in Gaol since the conviction of Kwan Chun-hee. I then told him that Kwan Chun-hee had already brought a charge against Tong Akü which had been proved false. The charge against Tong Akü had been convicted.\n\nDr Bridges said that he would see into the matter, that he would inquire amongst the prisoners in the Gaol, and ascertain whether it was as I said with reference to the paper. I again saw the Acting Colonial Secretary upon this matter.\n\nI have seen Passengers coming on board except as a passenger. I have no recollection of seeing any one wearing spectacles coming on board except Lai Sze-kai.\n\nSai I have seen Lai Sze-kai wearing spectacles. I never received any other sum than the $55 either as prize-money or remuneration for extra or dangerous service.\n\n[Lai Sze-kai shewn to witness.]\n\nI remember the apprehension of Beaver; he was apprehended and brought to the Police Station by Mr Caldwell.\n\nWhen I had finished examining him, I told him about this man Beaver, and a case of piracy which I had known, and which had occurred in the previous January. I told him about a gun being purchased on the lorcha, also that the money had not been paid, and an order had been given, I was under the impression at the instance of Ma-chow Wong.\n\nThe pirate who took the lorcha was the brother or brother-in-law of Akwai, and he had an European with him. The Acting Colonial Secretary said he would like very much to see the order; it was for $80. The lorcha came in two days afterwards. I boarded her as she came to an anchor about half-past four or five in the morning. I took the Captain of the lorcha, and Achong, the Chinese owner, up to Dr Bridges's house about 7 o'clock, and they produced a paper which they said was the one to which I alluded. It was only an acknowledgment of having taken a gun worth $70, which they intended to pay for. There was no order on any particular house.\n\nThe paper was then sent together with the first paper found on Beaver's person to Mr Wade to be translated; and the Acting Colonial Secretary told me that as Mr Caldwell had already a charge for confederation with pirates against Beaver, I had better send my witnesses down to him. The witnesses were first sent down to Mr Caldwell, and then went before the Magistrate.\n\nAfter the paper was translated, it was returned to me by Mr Grand-Pré, and after getting it I went before the Magistrate again, with the witnesses, and the paper was again produced before the Assistant Magistrate Mr Mitchell. I do not know whether it was interpreted to him at that time.\n\nThe examination lasted over a space of three weeks, and the paper was taken there every day for examination. The witnesses failed to identify Beaver, and he was sentenced to find security for three months, or quit the colony; he quitted the colony.\n\nThis paper was never to my knowledge in Mr Caldwell's possession. He saw it, but I don't know that he read it at the Police Court. At one time I told him about it.\n\nAfter the investigation was over, Beaver asked for his paper, but Mr Mitchell said that they were to be retained. The last time I saw the paper was at the Magistracy, when he was committed to the Gaol upon not being able to find security. I have not seen it since. I have looked over the papers in the Magistracy, and that document is not attached to the case.\n\nBeaver told me that he had been in the employ of Mr Caldwell and Ma-chow Wong on board a lorcha. If I had not been told, I should not have taken my witnesses to Mr Caldwell.\n\n## MANOEL DA SILVA, Sergeant in the Water Police,-Called and examined.\n\nI remember the apprehension of Po-Pak-Shing on a charge of piracy.

They were afterwards pointed out as pirate boats by a Portuguese.\n\n(Some Evidence.)\n\nThis was a case where a foreign boat laden with beans came to this harbour, and a supposed pirate boat went on board and plundered her. The rebel chief Ing-Sur-Zing was on board at the time, and he went on board and turned the vagabonds away, trying to take possession of her for himself. Wouy-sai-lung and Lee Mitran (Woh's Shopkeepers, but at some time they had connected themselves with piracy) then went and told this to Wong Ahkee, who instructed them to take the police on board and claim the boat to be theirs. They did so, and the case was brought to Court. The boat was given up to them as their property, and about 2 months afterwards, some Portuguese identified her to be a pirate, and the case was brought to Court, but through some mismanagement, the case was dismissed. In all the above cases, Mr. Stace and Mr. Caldwell appeared on behalf of the prisoners, and not one of them was committed for trial.\n\nIt is said that Wong Ahkee pays a sum per year to Mr. Stace to do his work, and not one of the above cases Mr. Stace and Mr. Caldwell did not attend.

I bought all from Mr Woods; I do not know how many lots there were-I he, Mr Caldwell, was busy. I told Assow I had a fear agreed to pay Mr Woods $3,000 for them. Mr Caldwell that the creditors of Mr Caldwell might get back the lots and sell them. This happened about the middle of last negociated the purchase. I paid him $2,000 first in sums of $1,000 each, leaving a balance of $1,000, and I got Mr month, (May,) I have pressed Mr Caldwell to complete Caldwell to get back $500 of the last payment, so that the transfer. Mr Caldwell told me that the property had $1,500 should remain on interest. The first 10 houses mentioned in these transactions were bought about May of last year, 4 houses about August, and the 15 from Mr Woods were in November. When 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\n\nwere on my own account The old leases are at my house. 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. The 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. With reference to 7 of the 10 houses, he 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\n\nmonth. per\n\nbeen mortgaged, and not that he had not got back the papers; but Mr Caldwell had never refused to complete the transfer.\n\nAlthough Mr Caldwell still owed me $2,000, I was able to get the money to pay the sums of $2,200), and $150 for the different lots from my relations. The $1,500 was not due till November, by which time Messrs Siemssen & Co. had paid me $1,900, on account of Mr Caldwell's estate. I do not know the names of the tenants of the houses.\n\nOf the 15 houses bought from Mr Woods, my brother Ah Chow receives the rents.\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 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\n\nThe three houses given to Chew Alai were not to be given to herself for ever, but only so long as she behaved well.

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.

He asked me what the policeman had said to me, and I told him that the policeman had asked me who the owner of the house was, and that I told him the comprador had told me the house belonged to Mr. Caldwell. Lum Ateen said that I might have the seven houses at the same rate as before, $30—to which I agreed. The other house was agreed for the same day, for $25. My previous knowledge of Lum Ateen extended only to knowing him by sight. The house spoken of as being intended for a hospital has not been used as such; it is now a family house.

I took the house of Mr. Caldwell's comprador, who told me that the house was Mr. Caldwell's. I am keeper of a licensed boarding house; pay the rent to the comprador, whom I last saw this morning. He came to my house about half-past 7 this morning of his own accord, and said, \"If any gentleman comes asking you, don't tell that this house belongs to Mr. Caldwell. Say that it belongs to Mrs. Caldwell, or a relation.\"\n\n[Mr. Caldwell admits that he receives the rent of the house, but denies the ownership. He also admits that he is the reputed owner, or in other words, that people suppose him to be the owner.]\n\nNo part of the house in which I live is used as a brothel. There is no brothel on the side of the street in which I live; there is one over the way. The comprador once said that unless I could pay every month I should be turned out. One time he took me down to Mr. Caldwell's office. I said to Mr. Caldwell, \"Excuse me this time, as soon as my boarders get ships I will pay.\" Mr. Caldwell said, \"I have nothing to do with it; you had better speak to the comprador.\" The comprador said, that I must pay or seek another house. On the 20th of this month I shall owe one month's rent: all the rest has been paid.\n\nJOHN LYONS.—Recalled.\n\nI have looked at the plan of houses in this colony, and find that house 300 is on lot 204. There are other 5 houses on the same lot, none of which are to my knowledge brothels. The other houses in this lot are numbered 301, 299, 249, 250, 248. Laurenço Pablo lives in house 248 Lascar Upper Row, No. of license 22.\n\nLAURENÇO PABLO.—Called and examined.\n\nCHUN SAMCHU.—Called and examined.\n\nI am a broker, and reside in house No. 531; the number of the ground lot I don't know. I have lived there ten days, and took the house from a person called Lum Ateen, or rather his collector of the same surname who lives at the Cho Sow Tong. I know Mr. Caldwell, but have not seen him at my residence. I do not know about Mr. Caldwell having any interest in the house.\n\nCHOU AH-CHEE,—Recalled.\n\nI have brought my rent book. [Book examined, and found to contain entries beginning 20th December last, of $16 rent, paid to and acknowledged by Yee Wo.] Afook is the master of the Yee Wo shop.\n\nFONG WEIKAI,—Occupant of inland lot 250, and house 411,—Called and examined.\n\nI have occupied the house a few days, and took it from Yee Wo.\n\nWONG AOON,—Called and examined.\n\nI have occupied my present house (the same house as last witness) two months. I took it from Yee Wo. I do not know who the owner of the house is.\n\nHO ACHOONG,—Called and examined.\n\nI have lived in the same house as last witness since the 15th January last. I took it from Yee Wo Fook, to whom I pay the rent. I do not know to whom he pays it, nor who the owner of the house is.\n\nLEONG CH'EWKWONG,—(Lot 204, house 301, Hollywood Road,)—Called and examined.\n\nI have occupied this house since the 24th December last. I took it from Lai Sze-kai, master of the Tai Cheong shop. I pay the rent to him. He says that he collects the rent for a relation. He has never used Mr. Caldwell's name in connection with it.\n\nCHUN KUNHEE,—(Lot 204, house 299,)—Called and examined.\n\nI have lived in this house two years. I rented it from Lai Sze-kai of the Tai Cheong shop. I never paid any rent to Mr. Caldwell.\n\n[The Commissioners at the request of Mr. May proceeded to examine two witnesses on reference to charge 4 in the second branch of the inquiry. Their evidence will be found printed with the rest of the evidence on the same charge.]\n\nLAURENÇO PABLO.—Called and examined.\n\nI live in Lascar Upper Row, behind the house of Ribeiro. I keep a Boarding House, and have lived there sixteen months. I took the house of Mr. Caldwell's comprador—Lai Sze-kai, who told me that Mr. Caldwell was the owner. I pay the rent to the comprador, and last saw...\n\nAdjourned to 1 P.M., on the 3d.\n\nFIFTH DAY,\n\nThursday, 3d June, 1858.\n\nPresent,—All the Members.\n\n(15)\n\nGEORGE COOPER TURNER—Called and examined.\n\nI am a Solicitor in this colony. In December last I was, and still am, Solicitor to the Attorney General. Upon reference to document (M) I can state that, on the 3d January, 1857, I, as solicitor for the Attorney General, obtained a transfer into his name in the land office, of lots 475, 476, 477, 478, 480, 483, 484, 485, and 507. These lots had been purchased by him from Mr. Caldwell. Mr. Anstey was very desirous in the latter end of December last, of selling these lots, and I applied to Mr. Caldwell to point out where the lots were. I think at that time Mr. Caldwell said, that he had a friend who was very anxious to buy one of these lots. I replied, that I did not think it likely that the Attorney General would sell any one particular lot, as he wanted to get rid of the whole together. I made some enquiry as to the lot Mr. Caldwell's friend wished to buy, and called on him afterwards to tell him, that the Attorney General would not sell any one lot; the purchaser, if he bought, must take the whole. The lot Mr. Caldwell wished to buy was one near the Kulan obelisk; the others are in the neighbourhood of East Point. The whole were afterwards sold to Mr. Strachan.\n\nCross-examined,—Mr. Caldwell did not, at the time of the conversation with him, mention the name of the friend; nor do I know for whom the lot was wanted.\n\nLAI SZE KAI,—Called and examined.\n\nI was Comprador to Mr. Caldwell. I ceased to be Comprador from the time Mr. Caldwell ceased to be master of the Eaglet, about two years ago. Since then I have been partner with Low Ateem in a shop, and now myself keep a shop which is in Stanley Street. When I was Comprador to Mr. Caldwell I went with the steamer; I also collected rents of four houses, but I do not know the numbers of the ground lots on which they stand. [The lot referred to is 197.] The present occupants are Lee Koon-tai, Ngow Poo, Chew Angee, Ch'o Ngu, Akwun, who keeps a Chair shop, and Yew Aon—there are eight tenants altogether. I received rents for Mr. Caldwell until I went on board the steamer as Comprador, after which I believe Mr. Caldwell's cook was collector. After I left the steamer I again collected rents for Mr. Caldwell, and continued to do so up to the middle of December last, when the houses were sold to Lum Ateen. After that time I collected them for Lum Ateen as some of them still owed rent. I delivered to Mr. Caldwell the rents as I collected them. When I was collector, for Mr. Caldwell, the rents amounted to about $19 a month. They are now let by Lum Ateen to me for $50, and I sublet them for $57. None of the houses are brothels, nor are any of them inhabited by loose women. During the whole time that I have received the rents they have been all occupied as family houses, and none of them as brothels or by loose women. The houses belonged to Mr. Caldwell at the end of 1856.\n\nI have collected rents for Mr. Caldwell for 11 houses besides. They are not sold. I know of my own knowledge that these houses belonged to a sister of Mrs. Caldwell, whose name I do not know. I do not know Chun Atsoo; I know they are the property of Mrs. Caldwell's sister, because Mrs. Caldwell told me so, and at one time offered to let them to me. Mrs. Caldwell managed the affairs of this property. The rents of these 11 houses are paid to Mrs. Caldwell, and have always been since I collected them. I have never collected rent on any other lots for Mrs. Caldwell. In the month of February last, I spoke to Mr. Caldwell concerning the payment of ground rent on Lum Ateen's property. When Lum Ateen was going home he told me to pay the ground rents for him: I said, that I did not know what amount I had to pay; Lum Ateen told me I might go to my old master—Mr. Caldwell—about it. I went to Mr. Caldwell in the month of February, and asked him to write a note for me to go and pay ground rents. Mr. Caldwell told me that he himself was going to pay ground rents. I gave him a $50 note. About two days afterwards Mr. Caldwell said it was not enough, and that I must give him $2 and some cents more. Mr. Caldwell said, that he would wait till Lum Ateen's return, and hand the receipts over to him. He told me that the receipts were at the office; he would get them by and by. I know a Boarding House keeper in Hollywood Road called Tomas. I let him the house in which he lives. I saw him yesterday morning. I said to him, and all the Chinese tenants, \"Don't be afraid; if any inquiry be made, you may say that the house belongs to my mistress [Mrs. Caldwell].” The previous evening I went to collect the rents. The Chinese tenants were afraid I was not going to let the houses to them. One of the tenants came to me next morning, and so I went to all. I have had no conversation with Mr. Caldwell as to the evidence that had been given before this Commission. No one told me to go to these tenants. They said some constable had been making inquiry as to the names and occupations of the tenants, and that this was their reason for being frightened.\n\nCross-examined,—The amount of rent due upon the four houses when they were transferred to Lum Ateen in December, was about $70; there is none of this due now. I was in Gaol about the 4th moon of last year, about a debt of my partner. I was 6 or 7 days in Gaol. I have never been in Gaol on a criminal charge. I do not know Chew Alai—nor have I heard the name; neither do I know Chun Ats00. I had an interview with Mrs. Caldwell's sister at Macao, about 4 years ago; I do not know her name.\n\nI do not know if she has a sister living in Hongkong. Six of the eleven houses are near the Joss-house in Hollywood Road, and the others are in Queen's Road West. It was after I left the steamer in July, 1856, that Mrs. Caldwell offered to let me the houses. I have known Lum Ateen about 10 years.

His Excellency did not refer to any more charges. I read some other extracts from other portions of the memoranda, and I could not help observing that the reading of these memoranda produced a considerable effect on the Council. The Acting Colonial Secretary said he did not know of the existence of the memoranda till that time, and His Excellency the Governor was very angry, that papers of such importance had not come to his knowledge before.\n\nHis Excellency said that he had relied very much on a report as to the examination of the books furnished him by Mr Mongan, which report clearly stated that the books and papers shewed only such purchases of munitions of war as any respectable trader might have dealt in. Mr Mongan was desired to attend at the Council, and did so, and in reply to the Governor's questions said that he had not made a very close examination of the books, that he had been assisted in the examination by Mr Caldwell, and that he had had no data and no particular information, and that he had made his report from his cursory examination.\n\nThe Council broke up, and in the Council room after the trial and conviction, the memoranda remained in my possession. I heard that appeals had been made to His Excellency the Governor in Council to pardon the prisoners. I firmly believed that the existence of the memoranda was then known to the Acting Colonial Secretary, because the existence was known by the Chief Magistrate and Acting Attorney General, to whom I knew the Acting Colonial Secretary had spoken on the subject of the prisoner's pardon. I did not make a direct communication to the Government on the subject of those memoranda. I thought it certain that a communication would be made to me by the Acting Colonial Secretary on the subject of the prisoner's pardon, when of necessity the memoranda would have been exhibited. No such communication was made to me until the appearance of an article in the China Mail newspaper, which article adverted to the existence of the information contained in these memoranda.\n\nI was summoned to attend a meeting of the Executive Council, and found that Mr Dixson, Mr Lane, and some other civilian, had also been summoned to the Council. When I was called into the Council room, His Excellency the Governor said he had noticed certain statements in the China Mail, and asked me if I had in any way authorised those statements. His Excellency the Governor said he would take the statements as they appeared seriatim, and reading the first charge asked me if I had authorised that. I do not now know what the first charge was. I said \"No, I had not authorised it,\" the Governor then read the second, and to the same query I answered in the affirmative.\n\nHis Excellency asked what proof I had, and I then produced the memoranda referred to. It was apparent to me, that His Excellency up to that time had not known of the existence of the memoranda. With the permission of the Council I read such portions of the memoranda as I thought fit.\n\nAfter the prisoner, Ma-chow Wong, was committed for trial, application was made that he should be admitted to bail. The Committing Magistrate refused to accede to the application, and an application was then made to the Judge in Chambers, for the admission of the prisoner to bail. The prisoner was bailed, and I saw Mr Caldwell come with the bail to the Police Court, I think at the time it was accepted by the Chief Magistrate.\n\nIn consequence, it was arranged that one shop, which was considered more as the family residence of the prisoner, should be given up, but that the remainder of his premises should remain in the hands of the Police. I was Acting Assistant Magistrate at this time. My belief is, that Dr Bridges interested himself because of the movement of Mr Caldwell in the matter.\n\nI handed to the Acting Colonial Secretary the papers containing the memoranda, saying, when I did so, \"I leave these in your hands.\" I have not seen the memoranda since. With regard to the original books and papers seized in the house and shop of Ma-chow Wong, were sent up to the Government Offices; but whether to the Acting Colonial Secretary's office, or to the Chinese Secretary's office, I do not know. To the best of my knowledge they passed from the hands of the Police to the Chief Clerk in the Magistracy, and from him to the Government Offices.\n\nMy impression at the time was, that these memoranda did not contain evidence of matters which formed the subject of either of the two pending inquiries, or which could have been adduced in evidence on the trial on either of the indictments before the Supreme Court, because the investigation, those found in the house are those from yik Loong shop related exclusively to the two cases under which alone the memoranda were extracted, and these were taken from the house to the Central Station in an iron chest, of which Mr Jarman had the key.\n\nI believe that all the books, papers, and writings, taken possession of by Inspector Jarman, remained to the best of my knowledge in his custody, until they were examined by Tong Aku in my presence, after which they still remained in Jarman's custody. From the Central Police Station the books, &c., found in the house, were taken to the Police Court, under charge of Jarman, and they were still in his charge when examined by Mr Stace, Mr Caldwell, and an Interpreter, and remained so I believe until the time they were sent to the Magistracy for transmission to the Government.\n\nI believe, but am not certain, that when so sent they were sealed up, but when or by whom I do not know. I do not know anything as to their transmission up to the Government Offices after they were sent to the Magistracy. To the best of my knowledge all the books, &c., found in the house, were sent from the Station to the Police Court, to be transmitted to Government Offices.\n\n(37)\n\n[The Commission then proceeded to take secondary evidence tendered by Mr May, of the contents of these memoranda to the best of his recollection, reserving for after consideration the question of the admissibility of such evidence.]\n\nNo. 1.—There were about 15 items, with dates of purchases of guns, gunpowder, stinkpots, shot and muskets. I cannot say within what years. There were some single payments of as much as 50 taels for powder and 600 taels for cannons. The books bore on them the seal and some the name of Ma-chow Wong.\n\nNo. 2. One item of delivery of a large quantity of saltpetre or sulphur, to a man—a manufacturer of gunpowder at Shek-tong-tsui, a village beyond West Point.\n\nNo. 3.—There were about a dozen entries of payment of very considerable quantities of cash—called \"ancient\" cash—as much as 200,000 or 300,000 cash each entry, paid for articles of consumption.\n\nNo. 4.—Three or four covers of books, the leaves being torn out, and on the back of the books was written \"Monthly payments from such and such a gambling house to Ma-chow Wong.\"\n\nNo. 5.—There were two or three entries of payments made to Ma-chow Wong, for and on account of the Sunon people.\n\nNo. 6—Was a book shewing an account of monies received by Machow-Wong, a lessee of the village of Cheem-sha tsui, on the opposite shore, and an entry of a payment of so many dollars to Kowloong Police runners, on some business connected with Cheem-sha-tsui.\n\nNo. 7.—A page of a book, an account of receipts either for or from Mr Caldwell, amounting altogether in different amounts to more than 600 taels. It did not say in respect of what.\n\nNo. 8.—A paper which was written to this effect, \"An agreement between some man in the lower bazaar, Ma-chow Wong, and Mr Caldwell, that if the Lower Bazaar man was successful in an ejectment case, the property was to be sold to Mr Caldwell for a certain sum of money, I think $1000—of which certain sum $500 were to be allowed as expenses of the suit, the remainder of the purchase-money going to the vendor.\"\n\nNo. 9.—There were some papers in English in Mr Caldwell's hand-writing, receipts for wages paid to a man named Beaver, for his services on board a lorcha: some of them said \"received from Mr Caldwell\" and some \"from Wong Akee.\" Other receipts for sums paid to other Europeans for similar services; one was to the best of my recollection for a sum paid to Graham. There was one paper directed to a European shipwright of Hongkong—I think Mr Ross. \"Please deliver the bearer some spars, and place the same to any account,\" signed by Mr Caldwell. These were dated 1856 or 1857.\n\nNo. 10.—A letter from the commandant at Kowloong to Wong Akee's partner—Chinese name—thanking him for his services with reference to certain property which had been taken from Kowloong when the military went over there, and had been restored, and requesting this man to thank Mr Caldwell for his services.\n\nNo. 11—A cover of a letter from a man who was known as a pirate—I forget his name—who, in 1856, escaped from the Police through the aid of Ma-chow Wong from Ma-chow Wong's house, and who was at the time of writing the letter in the service of Chan Kwei-tsik. The cover said \"from so and so, at such a place, to Wong Akee.\" I do not know whether the cover stated that he was in Chan Kwei-tsik's service, or whether the interpreter inferred this from the locality whence it came, or other circumstances.\n\nNo. 12. There was a money account between Ma-chow Wong and some one at Singapore, relative to what in my memo. was described as the \"slave trade,\" the buying of persons and reselling of them at Singapore.\n\nNo. 13. There were about ten entries of payments to lawyers, most of them mentioned Mr Stace's name, but not in respect of what business.\n\nNo. 14. An entry of a receipt of money—it was a money account, and therefore I conclude a receipt—of a sum of money for service rendered by Wong Akee in obtaining the assistance of an English man-of-war, to recover a vessel from pirates.\n\nNo. 15. There must have been also an entry shewing him to have been connected in some measure with the robbery of silk from Messrs Gibb, Livingston & Co.'s godowns, but what the entry was I do not recollect.\n\nNo. 16. A paper shewing the number of guns fired at different places.\n\nNo. 17. A memo, shewing the division of some money as shares in a Chinese boat transaction. There were twelve shares.\n\nNo. 18. There was some paper, but I cannot recollect what it exactly was, shewing Ma-chow Wong's connection with the Sunon Wo, a house belonging to the people of the Sunon district, and under the management of Ma-chow Wong.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-074 - Lieut.

From this time, until the case left my hands, there was no pressure used with me in favour of Ma-chow Wong by the Government.\n\nAfter I had the depositions, and read them through, I was speaking to Dr Bridges on some other business one day, and I introduced the subject of Ma-chow Wong, and told him the depositions were ample to support a prosecution. He said that was quite enough—that I was to be the judge of that, and I was the only responsible person for carrying on the prosecution. I don't think I spoke to him on the subject from that time until the occasion mentioned at the Club. I think I can positively say that Mr Caldwell was never in communication with me concerning the case. It was my impression that Ma-chow Wong was strongly befriended from some quarter or another. I received this impression from a great many facts. I all along, while I was preparing for the trial, knew that Mr Caldwell was assisting him, for I saw him occasionally in the street with Mr Day and Mr Stace, the Counsel and Attorney for the prisoner, and Mr Caldwell took a great deal of interest in the trial, and gave evidence in the prisoner's behalf.\n\nI have heard it stated that Mr Caldwell expressed confidence in Ma-chow Wong. Then, on the day of the conviction, I think before dark that evening, I heard that Mr Caldwell had petitioned the Governor to allow Ma-chow Wong's tail to remain on, until some further inquiry was made into the case. I never saw the man after he was convicted, but I believe as a matter of fact, that his tail did stay on. I felt particularly anxious about the case, as if my whole reputation were staked upon it. I knew the character of the prisoner, and the terror of the Chinese population about him. I knew that Mr Caldwell expressed confidence in him, and was anxious about his defence. I knew that, with an assistant intimate with the language like Mr Caldwell, the defence had an advantage I had not, and I had two very able counsel against me.\n\nIt was in consequence of the conversation I had with Dr Bridges before I saw the depositions, that I made the remark to him about the case being a sufficient one. I do not know that he saw the depositions, and he had no means that I know of forming an opinion of the case, while the depositions were in my hands. I perfectly recollect Mr May reading over to me some memoranda which he said he had taken from Ma-chow Wong's books. I have a distinct recollection of it, and can give a rough outline of their contents. The memoranda alluded to a traffic in pistols, and guns, and powder, and shot extending over a good space of time. I think a year and a half—at different intervals, and I think in different quantities. There were memoranda too of rents collected from the village of Cheem-sha-tsooy. I think there were memoranda of tolls levied on houses in Tai-ping-shan, which Mr May told me were gambling houses. I am not quite certain about this item. I also think there were entries of a great many articles of European consumption—wines, biscuits, and sundry articles for the table, not in use amongst Chinese. That is all I remember about them. I think there were no entries of articles in which Mr Caldwell's name was mentioned. I have not the slightest recollection of any such, and if you had not asked the question, I should have said decidedly not. There was nothing, so far as I can recollect, which brought in Mr Caldwell's name at all, or which would have led me inferentially to suppose that Mr Caldwell was referred to. I am only speaking from memory of a circumstance of a year ago. If such entries had been brought to my attention, I should have considered it my duty to bring them officially to notice. I could not use those memoranda for the purposes of the trial; I do not think I could have got them in evidence. Mr May showed them to me, and thought I would bring them forward in the Court. He considered them relevant to the issue, until we had a talk about it. I obtained no help in this prosecution from Mr Caldwell or through his department. Mr Grand-Pré was one of the witnesses. I did not accept Mr Caldwell as interpreter at the trial. I think Mr Day tendered him. I think Mr Caldwell seemed as if he did not wish to interpret himself.\n\nI am almost certain he was tendered at the commencement, but I think also that he was not willing to interpret. Mr Caldwell denied in court on oath all connection or relationship with Ma-chow Wong, by blood, marriage, or adoption. I alluded to Mr Caldwell in the report which was asked from me by the Executive Council about the trial, but did not represent to the Governor his extraordinary conduct when joint Superintendent of Police with Mr May, in labouring for the miscarriage of the crown prosecutions of Ma-chow Wong; but I did say, alluding to one point of evidence, it rested solely on Mr Caldwell's testimony, and that he evinced too much of the character of a partisan for his evidence to carry very much weight with the jury. I said I was sorry to allude in the matter to Mr Caldwell, for whom I had a very great respect; but at the same time I could not but admire the constancy with which he adhered to the man in difficulties whom he considered innocent, and whom he had found useful. My omission to complain was not caused by any idea on my part, that Government patronised Mr Caldwell, and not Mr May. I did not think of complaining; I left all those things to the Executive. Dr Bridges said the verdict was clearly against evidence and that the jury had no right to bring in a verdict of guilty on that evidence. I do not recollect the Governor saying anything about it.\n\nI don't know what the practice of the Attorney General is. The practice which I have followed has been to take the cases in the order fixed, unless when witnesses were absent, or unless the case was too long, and a short one might be brought in at the request of the Judge, to close the day. In entering the nolle prosequi I thought I was doing just what the Judge meant. If any one has asserted that the Court or any person ordered a nolle prosequi, such statement is false.\n\n(63)\n\nNo. 10, I think I remember.\n\nNo. 11, I remember nothing about.\n\nNo. 12, I don't remember.\n\nNo. 13, I think I remember.\n\nNo. 14, I can't say I remember.\n\nNo. 15, I recollect Mr May calling my attention to the entry concerning the Silk robbery.\n\nNo. 16, I don't remember.\n\nNo. 17, I don't remember.\n\nNo. 18, I think I remember something about that, but am not certain.\n\nI do not remember the reason assigned by Mr May for not reading some entries.\n\nThe name Samkwei did not occur in any of the papers that I saw in the second case. It did not, to my knowledge, occur in the papers of the first case. The petition for Ma-chow Wong's pardon was referred to me by the Government. There was an allusion at Government House on the Queen's Birth Day to Ma-chow Wong's name; his name was but mentioned. I was sitting with Mr Caldwell at dinner, and have a tolerably good idea of what was said. He said that the whole case of Ma-chow Wong would be opened up before this Committee. I said \"Indeed.\" Then I said that I wished he, Mr Caldwell, had not worked so much at the trial of Ma-chow Wong, in his favour, for I believed him to be a great scoundrel. I think Mr Caldwell said then, \"That may be, or may not be, but I think I was right in working for him at the time as I did.\" I think there was nothing more than this said. I don't pretend to recollect every word that passed. Upon hearing Mr May's evidence, my impression as to what was said is not altered. I think it is likely, though I cannot positively recollect, that Mr May told me there was a mysterious opposition to the prosecution of the case, which he could not understand,—an opposition not proceeding from Mr Caldwell. Dr Bridges did not say to me, that he would be better pleased if I did not find a true bill upon the evidence than if I did. He seemed to be quite careless. He referred to no other case in the calendar. I called upon Mr May, when I referred to him as Colonial Secretary, about the depositions, and I think he called upon me once. I arranged with him that he should see me at my chambers, to see the particular and laborious care evinced in the arrangement of the evidence. I have a distant recollection of Mr May saying that he wished to push the case through for the public good. I think on one occasion, he disclaimed any hostility to Mr Caldwell. I think Mr May, when reading the memoranda, made an observation as to a reason for not reading some of the entries. I think there were some of the entries he did not read. I think if I heard the entries read over I would recollect them. I have totally forgotten the reason; I don't know whether it was anything about Mr Caldwell.\n\nUpon hearing Mr May's account of the contents of the memoranda, I confirm No. 1: I remember distinctly the 50 taels for powder, and some sums for cannon; but do not remember exactly the 600 taels.\n\nI asked the Acting Colonial Secretary what was to be done with the property at the Kwong Yik Loong shop, and the other property belonging to Ma-chow Wong. He said it would be an interminable thing to find out who was the owner of it; that amongst the multiplicity of witnesses, some of them conflicting, no jury could come to a conclusion what was the convict's property, and it was not worthwhile taking any notice of it. I don't know what was the value of the property. Mr May, or someone, told me it was his impression that Ma-chow Wong was a very wealthy man. I think the last day of the trial Mr May asked me regarding the disposal of the property. I think I told him to leave a policeman there as long as he could, and I would see about it, and the result was that I saw the Acting...\n\nAdjourned till to-morrow at 12 o'clock.\n\nEighteenth MEETING.\n\nThursday, 1st July, 1858, at 12 o'clock Noon.\n\nPresent,-All the Members, except Mr Scarth.\n\nHENRY KINGSMILL,-Re-called at his own request, to correct a part of his evidence given yesterday.\n\nThis morning, on turning over my papers, I found the list of the Criminal cases of the Sessions of August 1857—the Session at which Ma-chow Wong was tried—with my own notes made on the margin at the time. On referring to it I find I did not enter a nolle prosequi as to Ma-chow Wong in the second case. There were two prisoners in the second case—Ma-chow Wong, and Lum Ahing, one of his shopmen; and Ma-chow Wong stood first on the list, Lum Ahin second. My marginal note made at the time is this: \"Nolle prosequi entered as to the second prisoner, the first having been convicted in another case vide supra.\" Seeing this, I see now that I did not enter a nolle prosequi as to Ma-chow Wong, but only as to Lum Ahin, and the reference made to the Judge as to proceeding with the second case, and his reply thereto, just tally with that statement.\n\nWith regard to No. 2: I recollect an item about Saltpetre, but not the particulars connected with it.\n\nNo. 3, I suppose that must be what I refer to about articles of consumption. I don't remember the fact of cash being mentioned.\n\nNo. 4, is what I referred to about gambling houses.\n\nNo. 5, I don't remember.\n\nNo. 6, I recollect.\n\nNo. 7, I think I recollect it, but am not quite certain.\n\nNo. 8, I don't remember.\n\nNo. 9, I think I recollect the paper about Ross, but not the others.\n\nI was also asked yesterday, had Dr Bridges spoken to me about any other case at that session. I endeavoured at the time to recollect what cases were tried in the same list, the case of Kan Assam and Lee Atong for murder...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-074 - Lieut.

Dr Bridges spoke to me about that case. He asked me, had I seen the prisoners in the case. I said \"No;\" then he asked me to go with him to the Gaol to see them. One of them was so young, and in fact such a child, that he thought it would be anything but justice to try him on a capital charge. I did go to the Gaol and saw the two prisoners, and this one, Lee Atong, was what we would consider in England about the age of 12 to 13. On referring to the depositions I saw very good reasons to conclude that he was not the guilty party, so I took him out of the dock and made him Queen's evidence.\n\nCross-examined,—There was an entry or entries in the books of the Kwong Yik Loong shop, referring to the purchase of the blue dye and sugar bearing on the second case. I certainly think the absence of the evidence to which I allude would weaken the case on the second charge if now tried, for there would be a certain amount of identity lost. I think I recollect some entry in the Kwong Yik Loong books shewing a previous connection between that shop and the vendors of the sugar and blue dye, but I cannot say positively about this. There was documentary evidence, which shewed a dealing and an underhand dealing, on that particular day succeeding the piracy, from about early in the morning till about 2 or 3 in the afternoon, and the absence of that documentary evidence would weaken the case if tried now.\n\nGEORGE COOPER TURNER,-Called and examined. I recollect two clients of mine, Chinese traders-Ng Aling and Chee Mun-kwong, being seized and thrown into Gaol under the Deportation Ordinance, in January 1857. They were arrested under the warrant of Mr Caldwell, I believe. I applied to Mr Anstey, then sitting as Magistrate for their liberation on bail. I spoke to him first privately on the subject, and then made a formal application. He did not say whether he would grant the application when I applied to him privately. When I applied formally at the Police Court, I do not remember whether Mr Caldwell was present or not. My application was refused, in consequence of the information Mr Caldwell had given the Government on the question. I think Mr Anstey at the time told me he refused the bail on this account.\n\nI was present and made the application. The prisoners were not brought into the court; the bail rested entirely with the Government. I then wrote to the Colonial Secretary, and had a letter leading me to believe that bail would be granted. I heard no more, but two or three days after I saw the two men being marched down for deportation by the Phoebe Dunbar. I do not recollect any one stating to Mr Anstey that they were very bad characters, and had been guilty of some offence without specifying what, when I applied for bail I had no intimation from any quarter.\n\nI did not after I saw the men complain to any one. I thought the case must have been sufficiently strong, or the Government would not have pursued such a course with them. I do not to this hour know on what ground they were deported, except, as I have said before, that they were spies sent by the mandarins. There was no evidence given before the Police Court as to their being spies sent by the mandarins, and I do not know whether they were examined by the Executive Council.\n\nI have had no conversation with the Attorney General before he gave his evidence to the Commission. I am a little deaf, and can't hear distinctly, but apprehend the questions put to me.\n\nI don't exactly recollect whether Mr Caldwell was sitting on the bench at the time, but the conversation between Mr Caldwell and Mr Anstey was private, and I did not hear it.\n\nI remember that something was said about the application for bail standing over for a few days. I think Mr Caldwell was on the bench. [Read letter of 19th January, 1857, from Colonial Secretary to Mr Cooper Turner, saying that the bail of 'Ng Ating cannot be sanctioned until the Chinese New Year holidays have passed by.]\n\nIt is very likely that Mr Caldwell opposed the bail in this private conversation, although I did not hear him. Mr Caldwell is in the habit of frequently speaking to the Magistrate on the bench. I do not think I informed the Attorney General that the prisoners had been deported.\n\nI cannot give an opinion whether there were any persons other than Mr May, attached to the Police Department, capable of conducting the prosecution of Ma-chow Wong to a successful issue; nor as to what would have been the fate of the case, had not Mr May taken an interest in seeing the inquiry properly conducted.\n\nThe perusal of my letter of 14th January, 1857, to the Acting Colonial Secretary, applying for bail for 'Ng Kaniting, does not enable me to add anything to what I have already stated, except that there is difference in the name.\n\nWILLIAM THOMAS BRIDGES. Recalled at his own request, to correct part of his evidence given on the 29th ultimo, and also to make a statement in answer to some remarks made by the Attorney General.\n\n[The Chairman announced that cross-examination would be allowed on Dr Bridges's corrections of his evidence; but that, although his statement and any answer to it on the part of the Attorney General would be received, no cross-examination would be allowed on either of their statements.]\n\nI believe that I stated that Ma-chow Wong's books and papers were referred for examination to Messrs Caldwell and Mongan, previous to the appearance of the article in the China Mail. Such was my impression, but I find I was under error, and that the reference was made during the examination, was written by the Clerk of Council, and this is probably the reason of the fact escaping my mind.\n\n(65)\n\nHad the matter remained after the appearance of the article, and most probably in consequence of it. I may state also, that the letter requesting the examination, was written by the Clerk of Council. I told the Governor, stated to him what I had heard, and asked him if anything of the kind had taken place. His Excellency stated, that he should take no official notice of anything which occurred before the Commission until it had concluded its labours; but he assured me that he had made no such statement, and added that it would have been impossible for him to have appointed me Acting Colonial Secretary if he had done so.\n\n...\n\n1\n\nI was Acting Attorney General, from the 28th February, 1852, to 13th February, 1853: and from 13th April, 1854, to the 15th January, 1856, with the exception of one week. I cannot say if I communicated with any one regarding my report to Mr Secretary Labouchere, recommending the establishment of a Thuggee police system, and the placing Mr Caldwell at the head of it. I have no doubt I told somebody of it. I was requested by Mr Labouchere officially to make this report. I had a long interview with Mr Labouchere and Mr Ball, regarding the different questions connected with the colony, and I had a letter from Mr Elliott requesting me to put what I said to Mr Labouchere in writing, which I did, and to which I had an answer thanking me for it.\n\nI decline to answer the question whether I have any knowledge, theoretical or practical, of that kind of police. I decline to answer what I know about it. If the Commission sits on the subject, I shall be happy to give them the information I have got. I decline to answer whether it was to be introduced here with or without modifications. I don't know that my suggestion was refused. It has not been adopted. No question arose as to Mr Caldwell's antecedents making him unfit for such high office. I do not know whether I have kept the letter from the Colonial Office or not. I was about to be married at the time I received it, and had plenty of other things to think about.\n\n5th January, 1856.\n\nSIR. In acknowledging your letter of the 1st instant, I am directed to inform you, that the nomination by H. M's. Government of Mr Anstey to the office of Attorney General of this colony, has been officially announced by the Secretary of State. H. E. the Governor directs me to express to you his high sense of the zeal and ability with which you have discharged the duties imposed on you, while exercising the important functions of Attorney General of Hongkong.\n\n(Signed)\n\nW. T. MERCER.\n\nI then turned up a letter from Mr Mercer, in which he states he was unwilling to express himself the Governor's opinion, and therefore left it to His Excellency to write in his own hand. I also lay in before the Commission, letters from the Lieutenant Governor, from Admiral Stirling, and a letter presented to me on the 14th January, and signed by the greater portion of this community, expressing their opinion of my conduct during the five years I had been in this colony.\n\nI should never have shewn these documents to anybody, but it is only in a case like this I am compelled to bring them forward, considering that it was impossible His Excellency the Governor could have forgotten the official letter, not three weeks old, or could have been unaware of the opinion in which I was held by my fellow servants, and by the community at large.\n\nI wish to state, that I do not consider it to be a question of credibility between His Excellency the Governor and the Attorney General, but that I believe the statement, to be knowingly made, with the deliberate intention to attempt to injure me.\n\nI have also to state, that when I returned to this colony, Mr Anstey shewed no backwardness in making my acquaintance; he in no way behaved toward me as a person who had been guilty of malpractices, and that, considering his line of conduct towards me recently, it is almost impossible, that had so important a charge been made against me by the Governor, he would not have brought it forward long ago.\n\nI wish merely to add...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-074 - Lieut.

He did not suggest any particular points on which I should give evidence; he was only two minutes speaking to me altogether.\n\nRe-examined, I went from here to Canton in a lorcha belonging to Ma-chow Wong, in October or November 1856. About a week after I was evidence for a man named Leong Ahee, who was charged with piracy. Mr Anstey allowed me to be examined, and afterwards told the Court my evidence could not be taken. I was passenger on board this lorcha, belonging to Ma-chow Wong. I never sailed or served in any vessel which I knew to belong to Mr Caldwell.\n\nMr May who replaced it in the tin-box in which it was found. It was not handed to the Jury, but a piece of calico with some Chinese figures on it was. I gave Beaver an order to get all the papers which I had when arrested, but do not know whether he got possession of this paper. I believe he did. I was told so by a short sentence prisoner. I got this paper from Beaver himself. We were in two separate boats, and I sent on board his boat for some cigars, and at the bottom of the box which he sent me I found this paper. I could not say in whose handwriting it was, and that is all I know of it. I might have said in the Supreme Court that it was as likely to be in Mr Caldwell or Ma-chow Wong's handwriting as in any one else's, but I could not have said that it was in Mr Caldwell's handwriting, for I do not know Mr Caldwell's handwriting. The paper did not mention Mr Caldwell's name, nor do I recollect the name Samkwei; it was addressed to \"Charles Peapa.\"\n\nI have known Mr Grand-Pré for about the same time, I have never been intimate with either of them. I am better acquainted with Mr Grand-Pré, because when I came down from Shanghae I had a good deal to do with him at the Police Station. I know Mr Tarrant the Editor of the Friend of China. I do not recollect his warning me two or three years ago about Ma-chow Wong and the Eaglet, I may have had some conversation with him on that subject, but have forgotten it, it is so long since.\n\nThere was a paper of great consequence but concerning only my own affairs. I don't think that the paper produced in Court recommended Ma-chow Wong to the notice of the pirates for the purchase of provisions and other articles from him. The paper did not mention Ma-chow Wong as being Mr Caldwell's brother.\n\nI knew the Eaglet which Mr Caldwell used to command. I was never in any way connected with her. I have only been on board once, when I went on board of her in Hongkong to see Mr Stone the Engineer. I have not sailed in her company, nor under her convoy. I have seen her several times outside, but I cannot say that she was engaged in any piratical expedition. I cannot say whether Ma-chow Wong was part owner of the Eaglet, or whether he was connected with her in any way.\n\nLyons was up in the Gaol one day, and asked me if I knew where the paper which I had read at the Supreme Court was. I told him I saw it put back in the box at the Supreme Court. I believe he asked me a few questions. He might have asked me who had written the paper, but I could not have told him that was written by Mr Caldwell, for I do not know, and cannot say that I have any reason for thinking that it was written by Mr Caldwell. I believe he said something to the effect that if he was brought up he would like to be able to produce this paper, to shew that Mr Caldwell was connected with that sort of people. I said that I had the paper at one time, that I did not know if I could produce it then, that I was in trouble myself, and did not wish to meddle with other people's business.\n\nCross-examined,—This other paper which I wished taken particular care of was in English. Mr Caldwell's name was not mentioned in it. I cannot say that Lyons made any suggestions to me regarding the evidence I was to give. He put a great many questions to me, and in a ridiculous manner...\n\n[Read a condensed report of what Eli Boggs said on his defence at the Supreme Court, concerning Mr Caldwell's and Ma-chow Wong's connection with the pirates.]\n\nThis is always what I understood to be the case, but I could not swear positively to it. My knowledge on these points is derived from what I have heard spoken by the Chinese. If I mentioned the names of individuals who could give evidence on the subject, I don't think that you would be able to find them now. I remember going into Mr Scarth's office with a Chinaman. I wanted Mr Scarth to interest himself in the case of six men, who had been wrongfully taken up for piracy. Mr Scarth told me that the man I came with was one of the greatest rascals unhung, and that I would do well to avoid his company.\n\nI saw the Eaglet outside several times myself. I understood from the pirates there, that she had been sent out by Mr Caldwell.\n\nAs far as Ma-chow Wong is concerned, I am pretty confident that he levied black-mail on the pirates. My conclusion that Mr Caldwell participated in this is drawn from what I have heard said. I have seen refreshments come on board, which the pirates said came from Mr Caldwell.\n\nI understood from the pirates outside that they had to give Ma-chow Wong money to give Mr Caldwell, otherwise vessels would be sent out to take them. I know it to be the case that persons, whether pirates or not, who offended Ma-chow Wong, or failed to comply with his terms, were denounced to the Police and brought to trial and conviction.\n\n( 73 )\n\nWednesday, 2d June, 1858.\n\nJOHN HAMILTON RANDALL,-Called and examined.\n\nI know Mr Caldwell. I first knew him in 1851, and first had business relations with him in 1855 as Chief Officer of the Steamer Eaglet, which belonged to and was commanded by Mr Caldwell.\n\nIn the year 1855, I was sent down from Ningpo to Hongkong by Sir John Bowring, for the purpose of giving evidence relating to a fleet of pirates with whom I had been imprisoned for about four months and-a-half.\n\nI was told His Excellency sent word up there, that he would give me a reasonable remuneration for my lost time and expenses if I would come down. I left my situation, and came down accordingly.\n\nI remained on board the Eaglet as Chief Officer from July 1855 to September 1856. Mr Caldwell commanded her himself from July 1855, till about April 1856, in every trip she made.\n\nThe Eaglet was ostensibly employed in the Convoy Trade, and in carrying passengers and cargo. She was in the habit of convoying sometimes lorchas and sometimes other Chinese vessels.\n\nMy reasons for believing the paper to have been written by Mr Caldwell, were that Ma-chow Wong being in connection with Mr Caldwell, it follows as a natural conclusion, that Mr Caldwell might write that paper for him.\n\nI have heard Beaver several times say, that the lorcha in which he was, belonged partly to Mr Caldwell, and partly to Ma-chow Wong.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-074 - Lieut.

JOHN ROBERTS, Deputy Inspector of Police and Deputy Inspector of Markets,—Called and examined.\n\nI recollect the apprehension of a man who was charged with stealing a watch from Mr Lapraik. I was examined in the gaol upon a subsequent charge of piracy against the same man.\n\nThe mode in which the remuneration was to be distributed was agreed on by Mr Caldwell, Mr Randall, myself, and Mr Heaton the second engineer. A certain portion went to the ship, coal, wear and tear, &c., a portion to the crew, and a portion to the Captain, Engineers, and officers.\n\nThe Elders of the village came on board and made an arrangement with Mr Caldwell for the payment of a sum of money if we could catch these desperadoes, but I do not know the amount.\n\nI was examined in the presence of the Acting Colonial Secretary, Mr Caldwell, Mr Inglis, and a Chinese prisoner named Kwan Chun-hee. From circumstances, I imagined this man was accused from dislike between him and the second Engineer and the Captain. When Roberts and Lyons asked me these questions, they did not tell me they should want me to give evidence. When I came here yesterday, Roberts told me he had written down what I had said. I told him I thought it very curious, and that if I had known that, I should not have said anything.\n\nWhen the boat went off with Mr Caldwell, I saw the men wading in the mud and trying to get on shore. The vessel was so far off that I could not see whether they landed or not; they may have done so; there was continually firing in the direction of the villages, and great numbers of people on shore. The steamer was about a mile and a half from the shore.\n\nRe-examined,—During the time in which I was employed on board the Eaglet we never made any prisoners. In the Kulan affair there was loss of life sustained—five of the Rattler's and six or eight of the Powhattan's men were killed, besides other casualties.\n\nThe information that the junks captured at St John's were pirates was obtained from a fleet of two or three hundred junks which we met on our way to Mamee. We were going to Nowchow for a convoy and fell in with this fleet. We hailed them, and asked if they had seen the fleet we were about to convoy. They told us that the pirates had gone ahead, and we then ran into Mamee, where I think we got information that the pirates had proceeded farther up. The Captain and Pilot were on the paddle-box, and they had the conversation with these junks.\n\nThere was a rumour that the steamer was to receive $5,000 for the Swatow affair if the villages had been taken. The Eaglet's Comprador lived on board the ship, and went with us in the cruises. When in harbour he went ashore and brought off with him provisions as required. I do not know his name, or that any person living on shore acted as Ship's Comprador. I do not know by name Szekai.\n\nI once prosecuted a servant of mine called Ahing who was in the steamer; and I remember a gunner, Roderick, a Portuguese, who, after he quitted the vessel, was indicted for a larceny but acquitted; but I have no recollection of any other person whom I have seen on board the Eaglet having been brought up for any offence. I have no recollection of seeing any one wearing spectacles coming on board except as a passenger. I have seen Passengers wearing spectacles.\n\nI never received any other sum than the $55 either as prize-money or remuneration for extra or dangerous service.\n\n[Lai Sze-kai shown to witness.] This was the comprador of the steamer, and used to accompany us in all our voyages.\n\nMa-chow Wong and Kwan Chun-hee and this man. When I was examined there was a paper shown to me, and I was asked if I had ever seen the paper before. The answer I gave was that I had seen the paper before, that it was written by a friend of mine about a year before; it was relating to the sale of a lorcha.\n\nThe Acting Colonial Secretary then remarked that the prisoner had that paper in his possession, and had given it to Kwan Chun-hee, of the lorcha. The Acting Colonial Secretary then went on to say that the paper had been given by this prisoner to Kwan Chun-hee within the last few days in Gaol, and that Kwan Chun-hee had given it up to accuse the prisoner about the searching of the prisoner at the Station, and I said I thought it was impossible he could have been locked up, without any paper which he might have had on his body being found.\n\nThe Acting Colonial Secretary asked me if I had ever seen the prisoner before his arrest. I told him I had seen him one time previously, when he was making a charge in the Central Police Station. He then asked me if I could recognise a man named Yik-foo, if I saw him. He then asked me if the prisoner was not Yik-foo, and I said that he was not.\n\nThe Acting Colonial Secretary then sent me round the body of the Gaol to take another look. I returned, and told him I was well assured the prisoner was not Yik-foo. Mr Caldwell then asked me, as the prisoner was sick at the time, could his sickness not have altered him, so that I could not recognise him. I assured him he was not Yik-foo, upon which I was dismissed.\n\nA short time afterwards I met the Acting Colonial Secretary at the Central Police Station, and in speaking to him I remarked that I had been told by one of the European prisoners, that the paper had been in Gaol since the conviction of Kwan Chun-hee.\n\nI then told him that Kwan Chun-hee had already brought a charge against Tong Akü which had been proved false. The charge against Tong Aku was after the sessions at which Ma-chow Wong had been convicted. Dr Bridges said that he would see into the matter, that he would inquire amongst the prisoners in the Gaol, and ascertain whether it was as I said with reference to the paper.\n\nI again saw the Acting Colonial Secretary up in the Police Court, when he told me that what I said was correct, and that he was convinced the paper had been in gaol all the time.\n\nI remember the apprehension of Beaver; he was apprehended and brought to the Police Station by Mr Caldwell. I was present when he brought him there. I searched him, and found on him pieces of red paper, eight or nine inches long, with Chinese characters, which were interpreted to me by one of the Chinese in the station named Ahee.\n\nIt was to the effect, that Beaver was an American, a very good man, and had been some time in his employ; I don't know whether the interpretation I put upon the paper or not. I kept it for a day or two. When he was examined at the Police Court, the paper was produced by me before Mr Mitchell. I cannot recollect whether it was interpreted in Court. I recollect perfectly telling Mr Mitchell what the effect of it was.\n\nIn a day or two after Beaver was remanded, I was sent for by the Acting Colonial Secretary. At about 6 o'clock in the morning I went to the Acting Colonial Secretary's house. He commenced asking me, as licensing day was coming on, about the character of the different Public-house keepers.\n\nAfter that was finished I told him about this man Beaver, and a case of piracy which I had known, and which had occurred in the previous January. I told him about a gun being purchased from the lorcha, also that the money had not been paid, and that an order had been given, I was under the impression to Ma-chow Wong.\n\nThe pirate who took the lorcha was Chu-kwai, and he had an European with him. The Acting Colonial Secretary said he would like very much to see the order; it was for $80.\n\nThe lorcha came in two days afterwards. I boarded her as she came to an anchor about half-past four or five in the morning. I took the Captain of the lorcha, and Achong, the Chinese owner, up to Dr Bridges's house about 7 o'clock, and they produced a paper which they said was the one to which I alluded.\n\nIt was only an acknowledgment of having taken a gun worth $70, which they intended to pay for. There was no order on any particular house. The paper was then sent together with the first paper found on Beaver's person to Mr Wade to be translated; and the Acting Colonial Secretary told me that as Mr Caldwell had already a charge for confederation with pirates against Beaver, I had better send my witnesses down to him.\n\nThe witnesses were first sent down to Mr Caldwell, and then went before the Magistrate. After the paper was translated, it was returned to me by Mr Grand-Pié, and after getting it I went before the Magistrate again, with the witnesses, and the paper was again produced before the Assistant Magistrate Mr Mitchell.\n\nI do not know whether it was interpreted to him at that time. The examination lasted over a space of three weeks, and the paper was taken there every day for examination. The witnesses failed to identify Beaver, and he was sentenced to find security for three months, or quit the colony; he quitted the colony.\n\nThis paper was never to my knowledge in Mr Caldwell's possession. He saw it, but I don't know that he read it at the Police Court. After the investigation was over, Beaver asked for his papers, but Mr Mitchell said that they were to be retained.\n\nThe last time I saw the paper was at the Magistracy, when he was committed to the Gaol upon not being able to find security. I have not seen it since. I have looked over the papers in the Magistracy, and that document is not attached to the case.\n\nBeaver told me that he had been in the employ of Mr Caldwell and Ma-chow Wong on board a lorcha. If I had not been told, I should not have taken my witnesses to Mr Caldwell, on account of Beaver having been in Ma-chow Wong's employ before.\n\nI told Mr May about the paper while the trial was going on. I know from reference to my chart, that Luy-chow near Hainan is from 8 to 10 miles from the mouth of a river. It stands a little way back from the shore. I have been past, but never in it.\n\n[Read Lyons' evidence concerning his visit to the Gaol to inquire about Beaver and the paper, and Beaver's conversation with himself.]\n\nI agree with nearly every portion of it. Beaver himself told me that he was with Akwai. I was at Boggs's trial, and saw the paper produced. I do not know what was done with it.\n\nI had seen the paper at the Police Station, and knew that Boggs was going to produce it. I believe the paper was in a tin box which he had. It was given into the hands of the Constable, and carried to the Supreme Court in the usual way.\n\nI read it, and recollect it saying something about Ma-chow Wong, the brother or brother-in-law of Mr Caldwell, being a good man, and recommending him. I have an idea it said something about provisions.\n\nI do not know whether the paper was produced at the Police Court. I thought the paper was in Mr Caldwell's handwriting, but am not certain of it. I do not recollect his signature being to it; it might have been.\n\nCan swear to Mr Caldwell's handwriting now, but could not then. Boggs told me the paper was from Mr Caldwell, and told me to take care of it as he would produce it on his defence.\n\nI do not know what connection ever existed between Mr Caldwell and Boggs, further than that Boggs was in Akwai's lorcha, which was said to be connected with Ma-chow Wong.\n\nI heard the evidence of Randoll and Stone, and do not agree in their version of our conversation. Mr Randoll told me that $5,000 was the first agreement, and that $12,000 was subsequently paid for the bombardment of the village.\n\nRandall said nothing about the pirates taking any boats from Ma-mee. The pirates were captured and taken into Ma-mee. He then told me that he was very much disappointed in not being able to capture the junk which was loaded with opium.\n\nI asked him how he knew she was a pirate. He said, \"they did not care what the devil she was, so that she had the opium on board.\" Randall did tell me that they got $12,000 for bombarding the village at Swatow, and made use of the word squeeze with reference to it.\n\nHe said his share was $500, and the Engineer's $250. I knew that Mr Caldwell was master of the Eaglet and know nothing of her cruises except that she convoyed. I never saw her out at sea.\n\nAt one time I was in her neighbourhood, and saw part of her convoy. I was then going to Hoihow on the West Coast, and was told it was part of her convoy, but did not see the steamer.\n\nI do not know whom she was owned by.\n\nMANOEL DA SILVA, Sergeant in the Water Police,—Called and examined.\n\nI remember the apprehension of Po-Pak-Shing on a charge of piracy. I had his boats and family in custody, and believe they, the boat and family, were connected...\n\n(77)\n\nPage 365", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-074 - Lieut.

Why so certain?\n\n(153)\n\nMr Mongan. One circumstance occurs to me which confirms my memory. They were taken to be burnt from the place where they had been lying;—and another circumstance strikes me in connection with the Caldwell Commission—I thought the books would be asked for, and they were not in existence—They could not have been on the 27th of May when the Commission first sat.\n\nAttorney General. You thought the Ma-chow Wong papers would be wanted on the Caldwell Commission! What made you think that before you were asked for them?\n\nMr Mongan.—I think such a thought crossed my mind.\n\nAttorney General.—You think such a thought crossed your mind! Now, with all these instances of inaccurate memory, can you be confident—are you confident that the destruction took place earlier than May?\n\nMr Mongan. I am sure it was before the 14th of April.\n\nAttorney General.—In your depositions at the Police Court you said that during your absence at Canton the Ma-chow Wong books and papers were bona fide in the custody of the office servants;—and on another occasion you said you felt sure you had not got all the papers—what made you think that?\n\n(152)\n\n[Sensation throughout the Court—the gist of the alleged libel being justified by the Crown's own witness.]\n\nAttorney General.—They were delivered to you by Mr Morrison?\n\nMr Mongan.—Yes.\n\nAttorney General.—Mr Cleverly says he had written to Mr Caine the Secretary of the Superintendency, to inquire about the memoranda.\n\nAttorney General.—(After a short pause, to give the Jurors time to digest the deposition)—\"Again, you have been mistaken about Mr May's memoranda—With some of those items Mr Caldwell's report agrees, but not with a single item of Mr Caldwell's report would your teacher agree—To the Registrar\"—Ho-chun-seen—Ying-lin-tong Mr Mongan.—I never had Mr May's memoranda.—I—Sun-chok-heem—and Lo Ahee, witnesses examined at the Police Court on the part of the Crown—is it the intention of Government to call these witnesses?\n\nMr Mongan.—No.\n\nActing Attorney General.—If you wish it I will call them.\n\nMr Mongan.—I have only a slight recollection of having seen them in Mr D'Aguilar's office, and think he told me he was going to send them to Mr Wade.\n\nAttorney General.—You only think so.\n\nMr Mongan. I have only a slight recollection.\n\nAttorney General.—About what time was this?\n\nMr Mongan.—As well as I can recollect it was after the meeting of Council, about the same time that I forwarded the books and papers to Mr Wade.\n\nAttorney General.—Now what office did you hold then?\n\nMr Mongan.—I was at that time a Student Interpreter in charge of the Chinese Secretary's office. There are two rooms in that office; an outer and an inner. I have never been separated from that office.\n\nAttorney General—Well, you (Mr Mongan) know what evidence they gave, and that the principal contradicted Mr Caldwell in almost every—I may say every particular.\n\nMr Mongan. I haven't read Mr Caldwell's evidence.\n\nAttorney General. Referring particularly to Mr Caldwell's report on the books (page 104 supra) of every item they say they cannot tell how or where he got them from I will read, and after hearing their evidence you will be so good as to make correction of any discrepancy (reads).\n\nAttorney General.—And now I'll go on reading your evidence before the Caldwell Commission (reads)—You, Mr Mongan's teacher, Cross-examined by Mr Tarrant, (the Magistrate writes) depones \"I cannot conceive how he, Mr Caldwell, made up the 13 items comprising this report.\n\nExamined upon each separate item,—\n\n1. A bill of certain arms, such as spear heads, swords & amounting to about $50. Answer. I do not recollect.\n\n2. An entry in a book of the payment of $22 for shot. Answer.—I do not recollect.\n\n3. An entry in another book of the sale of Gunpowder to Te Shai amounting to $22. Answer—I do not recollect. Another entry in the same book of the purchase of Gunpowder. Answer—I do not recollect.\n\n4. An entry in another book of the advance by the Kwang Yeh-long Hong to the Sun'Sum'shing Boat, of Taels 108. Answer.—I do not recollect.\n\n5. A bill for shot sold the Poo-sen boat $12. Answer—I do not recollect.\n\n6. A bill from Foo-shai for the sale of one Gun to Kee Kong $130. Answer.—I do not recollect.\n\n7. An order on the Quang Yek-long Hong to pay $22 for Gunpowder. Answer.—I do not recollect.\n\n8. Two draft receipts from Wong-Akee, acknowledging to have received from Mr Caldwell the sum of $1,500, on account of Foong-hoh-shing. Answer.—I do not recollect.\n\n9. A letter addressed to Wong Akee by Lok Hing, begging him to use his endeavours to obtain the release of a Nephew...\n\nThe examination was of a cursory nature—It was not a searching examination—On the 13th of October you sent the papers to Mr Wade—On the 12th you went to the Council. There you heard Mr May's memoranda read—and there you concurred in the correctness of Mr Caldwell's translation.\n\nMr Mongan.—Mr May's memoranda were never referred to me for collation.\n\nAttorney General.—Are any of the Chinese documents which those memoranda referred to in existence.\n\nMr Mongan. Not one of them—not a paper.\n\nAttorney General—You say in your depositions at the Police Court that you saw nothing suspicious among the documents inspected—Do you confirm that?\n\nMr Mongan. I saw nothing that I recollect.\n\nAttorney General.—You say further in these depositions That Caldwell called your attention to insignificant items—did he call your attention to significant ones?\n\nMr Mongan.—No.\n\nAttorney General.—Now I will read to you Mr Caldwell's report to the Council.—\n\n\"I beg to state that the examination was conducted in the presence of Mr Mongan, assisted by his Chinese clerks, and that whatever expense was incurred would be refunded to Akee by the writer.\"\n\nNow how are we to reconcile this with what you have just now, and before deponed, that it was he, Caldwell, who handed the suspicious documents to you, not you to him?—If you left the searching for suspicious items to him how can you swear you know anything about them in the gross?\n\nMr Mongan.—I did not leave it to Mr Caldwell—Its all right with exception of your comment on it.\n\nAttorney General.—Did Mr Caldwell ask you whether the report agreed with his own notes, or with the contents of the Chinese documents?\n\nMr Mongan.—With his notes. I could concur with their general accuracy, having looked over the documents before I handed them to Mr Caldwell, and could judge of their relevancy or irrelevancy to the matter.\n\nAttorney General—One bundle never came under your eye at all, and you made only a cursory examination of the others?\n\nMr Mongan.—I confirm all that has been stated before the Magistrate; I did not leave it to Mr Caldwell to determine their relevancy; I read them over myself first.\n\nAttorney General—Was it possible for you, after such an examination, to make a faithful report as to their contents?\n\nMr Mongan.—No answer.\n\nAttorney General.—Supposing you had been called on to confirm Mr Caldwell's report, not as to his notes but as to the documents themselves—Would you have given the same answer, as to the correctness?\n\nMr Mongan.—I would.\n\nAttorney General. Very well, then we shall know what reliance is to be placed on certificates medical or otherwise—Now I'll read your other evidence (reads). All this happened in March—and the papers were destroyed in March.\n\nMr Mongan.—I have not sworn it positively.\n\nAttorney General.—Were the documents destroyed in May?\n\nMr Mongan.—I have sworn to the best of my recollection—I am certain it was not in May.\n\nAttorney General.—Dr Bridges says the burning was about six weeks before the Governor spoke to him about it, and the Governor could not have spoken to him 'till after the middle of June.\n\nMr Mongan.—I don't think I told Dr Bridges before the end of June.\n\nAttorney General. Is it not just possible that you made a mistake, and that it was only a few weeks before the fact became known that they were burnt.\n\nMr Mongan.—I am perfectly certain it was not weeks.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-074 - Lieut.

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,", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-079 - Public Offices - 1860.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 250208, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-079 - Public Offices - 1860", "page_number": 358, "title": "CO129-079 - Public Offices - 1860", "content_text": "F\n\n9\n\n356\n\nCattle and sheep supplied.\n\nDescription of city as seen from the west.\n\nWater.\n\nVegetable products.\n\nTrade.\n\nAnchorage.\n\nTide.\n\nClimate.\n\nTo-Kee.\n\n8\n\nand the following day sent 3 cows, but said the bad weather prevented his bringing more. 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.

But, my dear Admiral Seymour, I feel that in your leaving us in this distant land, we are losing one of our best friends and principal protectors, without whom we should, during the last war here, have lived in constant fear and danger of our lives and property.\n\nPermit me, my dear Admiral, to tender you my sincere tribute of gratitude for your goodness and protection at all times during your command on this station, and for your kind remembrances in visiting me several times at my house to comfort and cheer me in my unhappy crippled state of affliction, which at times produces bodily suffering and mental depression, almost too great to be borne.\n\nI have no other token of my grateful feelings to transmit to you than a lithography copy of a letter from and written by the President of the United States, which shows who was the author of the American Arctic Expedition in search of Sir John Franklin. The labours of any individual to rescue that noble voyager and his gallant companions, I know are by you highly appreciated.\n\nR", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-079 - Public Offices - 1860.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 250450, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-080 - Sir Robinson - 1861 [1-3]", "page_number": 11, "title": "CO129-080 - Sir Robinson - 1861 [1-3]", "content_text": "In 21118:\n\n1 arranged, and no unsightly vacancies occur so soon. building operations are proceeded with\n\n(signed) Charist. beo bleverly, Surveyor General.

I am,\n\nYour obedient Servant,\n\nsigned, **L. MARQUIS,**\n\nProcurador.\n\nThe above is appended to a copy of the letter, and sealed with wax and official stamp.\n\nTrue copy\n\n**W. TARRANT.**\n\nEnclosure marked B.\n\nMacao 19th February 1862.\n\n**L. Marquis Esq., Procurador.**\n\nSIR,-Having reference to the various enquiries which I have made at your office lately, and of yourself on the subject of the narrative which you sent to the Editor of the Daily Press on the 5th March 1860, and, as I have shown you, bound up in an appendix to Minutes of enquiry into Civil service abuses before the Executive Council of the Hongkong Government; and more particularly regarding Mr. Caldwell's reply to your letter of the 29th of February, of date the 10th of March 1860, bound up in the same volume, I shall feel obliged if you will append to this letter (which I send in duplicate) a certificate of your appreciation of my having correctly understood your and the other statements.\n\nCommencing with the 10th printed paragraph of the letter, on the 35th page of the appendix-you say that you deny that it was proved to you that the five men whom Mr. Caldwell relieved from their contracts were kidnapped. When the men found that by saying they did not want to go they could be released, they said so; and you opine that every contract coolie in Macao would make a similar statement, though that would not prove that they were kidnapped.\n\nAs to para 12 on the same page,-Had the informer pointed your attention at the time to the man whom he said was one of the brokers that came from Hongkong with the 45 Coolees, you would have apprehended him-But neither did he then nor subsequently; and when you found that the informer was an impostor, you came to the conclusion that his assertion of having seen such a person at all was of a piece with the rest of his conduct.\n\nAs regards paras 15 and 16 on page 30, in which Mr. Caldwell speaks of inaccuracies on your part in the statement of what he told you when he first came over regarding the Coolees,-while adhering to your impression on the subject, and now believing that you were intentionally misled, you say that it matters not whether the informer were or were not a policeman after he reached Hongkong from Macao. What was clear to you was that the informer lied when he said that he had been confined in the Sun-fook-tie hong, and that he was one of three that had escaped in the month of December. The names of the men who so escaped, as shown by the Register of coolees who had signed contracts, and were intended to go in the Emilie Pireire, were Leon Ao-an of Hoi-ping, Le Ahee of Chau-choon, and Sun Acum of Fu-yen. These men were received in October, and escaped on the first of December; whereas the informer called himself Asoong, and to have been one of the 45 from Hongkong for whom Mr. Caldwell affected to seek, could not have been in the Hong at the date of the escape in question; the said 45, according to the story, only reaching Macao on the 27th of December.\n\nAs to para 18 on the same page, you adhere to your statement that the informer said four of his companions were at the Barracoon at St. Antonio.\n\nAs regards para 21 on the 36th page, touching the Coolee brought from the St. Lourenço barracoon and released by Mr. Caldwell, you say this man was undoubtedly an impostor, for the contract which he had signed bears date the 6th of December; and you supply me with an attested copy of this contract viz No. 154, between Chong Afa and Messrs. Morales & Co.

Fernandes, of D. Xavier, of F. B. da Luz, of C. G. da Silva, of Cheang Achan and of others, that the informer was a Coolee broker on his own admission, the supposition that the story could not have been concerted fails; for, as a broker, Asoong had free access to all the barracoons, going in and out whenever he pleased;", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-087 - Sir Robinson - 1862 [7] & Acting Governor Mercer - 1862 [7-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 254220, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-087 - Sir Robinson - 1862 [7] & Acting Governor Mercer - 1862 [7-9]", "page_number": 323, "title": "CO129-087 - Sir Robinson - 1862 [7] & Acting Governor Mercer - 1862 [7-9]", "content_text": "## \n17 \n5 \n\nOn the 30th December 1839, \nNo. 233-Char Arat, \nOn the 31st December 1859, \nNo. 346-Hip Atun, \n347-Tan Ahi, 348-Chao Apoo, \n1 \n18,, Ton-cun. \n51 \n30 Tim-pac. 32 Lo-chan. 30 Hunchin. \n313 \n11 \n349--Chao Apat, \n30 \n350-Choi Asan, \n30 \n1: \n351-Lopien bien, \n35 \n352-Choi Apuu, \n25 \n353-Tom Atun, \n32 \n354-Chou Aquae, \nPe \nFF \n355-Tu Apun \n32 \n356-Pau A bun, \n33 \nid.

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.

That on the 20th day of March last, the said Foong a' Shing returned to Hongkong, and informed me that he had chartered in Cho Kum a Junk called the Kum Shun Lee, that he had loaded her with rice, and that he had left Cho Kum in the said Junk for Hongkong; that the said Foong a' Shing further informed me that on the 8th of March, when near a place called Foong Khy on the West Coast of China, they got into a gale of wind, during which the said Junk was dismasted, she having lost her main-mast. That the said Foong a' Shing further informed me that fearing the said Junk might not be able to reach Hongkong in her then disabled state, he had left her to pursue her course whilst he had landed at Foong Khy aforesaid, and that partly by land and partly by boats he had found his way back to Hongkong to consult with me as to what should be done, it being his opinion that the said Junk could not reach Hongkong at that time of the year in her then crippled state.

SHIPS OPOSSUM & OSPREY.\n\nWe have been favoured with the following account of the proceedings of H. M. Ships Osprey and Opossum during their recent cruise in search of Pirates.\n\nH. M. S. Osprey, Commander Wm. Menzies, left Hongkong on the 12th July, 1866, with the Gun Boat Opossum, Lieut. Commander Mainwaring, in search of pirates. They proceeded to Nowchow Island and thence to Quan Chou Wan, on leaving which place on the 16th instant, the Osprey unfortunately got on shore, owing it is stated to incorrectness in the chart supplied, but being under steam, with the assistance of the Opossum, and the rising tide was got off again without accident. They then continued their cruise to Hainan, searching several Bays and Creeks, as well as overhauling some Junks met with at sea, but without success until the 18th instant when on going into Ty-Yu-Lin-Kan Bay information was obtained that a number of piratical Junks were anchored at Sama or Samoy Bay. The Osprey immediately got under weigh and, followed by the Opossum, steamed in search of them. At about a quarter to 1 P.M. the Opossum made signal that several Junks were in sight. A few minutes after the Osprey having taken up position, which there was great difficulty in doing, owing to the shallowness of the water, commenced the action by opening fire with her 68 pdr. Pivot Gun, and almost immediately after with her 7 inch Armstrong Pivot Gun. The Opossum from her lighter draft of water was able to get nearer the enemy and at 1 P.M. opened fire.\n\nThe junks were in an admirably defended position, being anchored in a creek, the sides of which to a great extent protected them from the Osprey's fire. Just before the Opossum commenced the attack two of the heaviest armed Junks, one of which was afterward found to carry 16 large guns, opened on the Osprey with shell and rockets, and shortly afterwards the other junks commenced firing on both vessels. The action was briskly sustained on both sides, the Junks keeping up a very well directed fire, from which however, the high bank to the Northward of the Piratical craft much protected the Osprey as only a portion of their guns could be brought to bear on her, but the same cause prevented the Osprey from doing as much execution as she otherwise would have done it being impossible to get her opposite the mouth of the Creek there being only 1 Fathom of water. The firing was continued on both sides until 3 P.M. when it was determined to land and take the Village and Junks. A party of about 60 men, Blue Jackets and Marines, were accordingly landed from the two vessels, under the command of Commander Menzies, accompanied by Mr. Greet, Assist. Paymaster as Aide de camp, Lieutenant Meade and Mr. Sanders Gunner from H. M. S. Osprey and Mr. H. Thomas Boatswain of Opossum.\n\nThe landing was effected without opposition about half a mile from the creek, the Guns of the two ships (which were manned by various idlers and boys, as of course the best men were selected for landing) still engaging the junks.\n\nThe landing party passed over a slight undulation of ground and approached the village and creek, in which the junks were anchored, from the Westward. A hill above them was occupied by a party of Chinese who kept up a fire until dislodged by some men told off for the purpose. Passing round the base of the hill the men rushed on with a cheer and drove the enemy from the village to the junks, which they were also obliged to abandon and escape to the other side from the heavy and rapid fire kept up by the blue Jackets and marines, notwithstanding the efforts of the Pirates to check them by a well sustained fire of Guns and small arms.\n\nCommander Menzies then gave orders to board and set fire to the Junks which was rapidly done. Lieutenant Meade was most active in this duty and himself fired several. The total number destroyed was 22, some of them being very large and the number of men was estimated at over 700. The execution done was very great, and it was altogether a most dashing and gallant affair. Of the Junks destroyed 1 carried 17 Guns, 7 were of 15 Guns, 9 of 12, and 4 of a smaller number. It was a powerful force to attack with a sloop of 4 Guns and a Gun Boat.\n\nAfter the engagement the Villagers stated that the number of killed amounted to 130 but this is greatly over the mark; about 80 or 30 would be the probable number. One seaman belonging to H.M.S. Osprey was severely wounded by the fire from the Chinese who occupied the top of the hill during the first advance; he was struck in the leg by a musket ball and taken back to the boats which had been left near the original point of debarkation in charge of Mr. Paymaster Scriven and a few men and conveyed on board the Osprey.\n\nThe Mandarin Lyang who accompanied the expedition was unfortunately mortally wounded while gallantly trying to cross the creek; he was struck in the left arm and his elbow much injured (compound fracture) he however persisted in pressing on with a couple of the Osprey's blue jackets, and they had captured 4 prisoners when the Lyang received a Musket or Rifle Ball in the bowels, and fell. The men in the boat brought him out of action but before they were clear of the enemy's fire he received a third wound, this time in the left leg, two of the prisoners being also wounded by the fire kept up by the pirates. He was at once conveyed out of the creek in the same sampan, towards the boats, one of which immediately embarked and took him to the Osprey in order that Medical assistance might be afforded. He died on the evening of the 21st inst., much to the regret of the Officers, by whom he was much liked, and who appreciated his brave conduct.\n\nThe Osprey left Sama Bay on the evening of the 20th with the Opossum gun boat in tow and arrived here on the 23rd.\n\nThe Opossum landed the mortal remains of the Mandarin Lyang at Kowloon this morning where they were received with all the honour due to the Rank of the deceased. They will be sent to Canton tomorrow for interment.\n\nSince writing the above we have learned that the piratical fleet consisted of three separate squadrons. Two of the chiefs came from Macao and the other from Cochinchina. The latter had hauled his junks into the creek hoping to escape observation having been informed of the proximity of H. M. ships.\n\nThe burning of the junks is stated to have been a most picturesque sight. The calibre of the guns carried varied from 32 to 4 pounders; each of the junks carried stinkpots at the mast heads.\n\nPage 155\n\nPage 155\n\nPage 155", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-114 - MacDonnell - 1866 [7-8].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 266867, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-115 - Sir MacDonnell - 1866 [9-10]", "page_number": 205, "title": "CO129-115 - Sir MacDonnell - 1866 [9-10]", "content_text": "Evening\n\nthat was their only objection to a Stamp Act it was absurd. There were objections once in England against Stamps, but ultimately it was found out that the principle was equitable and right, and now no one said a word against it. There had been a great deal said at the other meeting about the military contribution (laughter), but they seemed to have been satisfied with it! (cries of \"no, no.\") He was not standing there to answer any one of the arguments about the Governor. He admired His Excellency's policy in steering clear of everybody. What was the use of a Governor in a Colony like this, if he would not take up a position and adhere to it? Oh, it was said, but he ought to refer to the upper crust, to the crême de la crême of the colony (such laughter). But he must not get all the cream; let the skim milk come in (renewed laughter). The fact was that the rich people intended to leave as soon as possible, and leave their predecessors to pay the taxes (loud laughter). Mr. Barnard again urged that the Stamp Act was commendable, as it would make foreign bank-shareholders pay towards the support of the colony. The Act would make very little difference to the merchants, who would charge their client's pockets, and not their own; and he was certain it would prevent litigation. He had not long been in the colony, when he said to the Attorney General \"How is it you have no Stamp Act here ?\" He replied, \"I do not know; but I hope we shall get one, one day.\" It would prevent a large amount of perjury and litigation. As for its being \"vexatious,\" all taxation was vexatious; people who paid it were most anxious to be rid of it. The memorialists represented a large section of the community but not the whole of it; and as for the Chinese really he thought the Governor was right (no, no). Mr Barnard pointed out that the memorialists had not indicated a satisfactory substitute for the Stamp Act, expressed his own willingness to consent to a tax on professions or trades, and avowed his belief that the time would come when even the memorialists would be perfectly satisfied with the Act (great laughter).\n\nThe CHAIRMAN then read the resolution again, and asked if anybody would second it.\n\nMr RYDER: I second the motion.\n\nMr STOBEY rose to speak to the motion, With reference to the proposed appeal to the Secretary for the Colonies, he must confess that from his experience he thought it would be a mere loss of time and paper. They knew very well what reply they had received to their protest against the military contribution; he was quite sure that rarely, if ever, would they find the Colonial Office step in between their Governor and his policy, so long as they did not see any actual injustice inflicted. As to the Governor's speech. He confessed that when the Stamp Act was introduced, he was opposed to its schedule, but he did not sign the memorial because he did not think that due consideration had been given to His Excellency's letter.(hear). The public seemed at that time to be seized with a rabid desire to do something against the Governor, and His Excellency's letter was entirely ignored. His Excellency had clearly said that he was open to conviction, and not only himself introduced modifications of the original schedule, but invited suggestions for further amendment. But no such advice as he sought was over tendered to him; and in his (Mr S.'s) opinion His Excellency had shown a manly, straightforward spirit in passing the Act as he had done. It was now perfect, as far as it went; but the Governor would modify it still further, if required on good ground (cheers).\n\nPage 205\n\nAs for the Governor's reply to the Memorial, he considered it to be perfectly unanswerable; he had cut the ground from under the memorialists' feet completely-(cheers). If there was one point more than another to which that remark would apply, it was that relating to the item of $4,000 dollars for road at Kowloon. His Excellency said the Government was bound by agreement with its tenants to incur that expenditure. The ground at Kowloon was sold four years ago, and the new road was then shown. The person who owned the land would have been able to deal with it had faith been kept with him; and he (Mr S.) said there was an honesty displayed in the Governor's determination to fulfil faith with the public that deserved commendation (cheers). The land was sold on the condition that the road should be made. Mr Storey supported His Excellency's views with respect to the water-rates. It was notorious that the existing water rates were paid by numbers who did not receive the supply of water they were entitled to (cheers), and he could scarcely see why, when the promised supply was given, an additional payment should be demanded by increase of rates (cheers). He was paying coolies to bring water to his house-water for which he already paid rates, and he knew many persons who were in the same condition. In the speech His Excellency had met this question and every other with argument fairly, openly, and honestly, with perfect honesty to the public and to his own convictions; and he (Mr S.) was sure that His Excellency's policy would turn out to be the most honest in its results (cheers). He repeated it would be a waste of time, under the circumstances, to send any memorial to the Secretary of State. But before concluding, he would remark that there was one thing the public had to thank the memorialists for. Had it not been for the severe opposition, partly personal opposition ---- for which they had to thank the memorialists, the Governor would not have had an opportunity of showing what stuff he was made of (cheers). He hoped His Excellency would long remain in the Colony-(cheers), and he would gladly pay his quota of taxation under the new Stamp Act. The suggested increase of the house duty would have been infamous, for it would have pressed heavily on those who were now sufficiently hardly pressed (cheers) The Governor had hit the right nail on the head, when he placed the additional taxation on the shoulders of those who could best afford to bear it-(cheers).\n\nThere being no one else desirous to address the meeting.\n\nThe Chairman put the motion. Half the number of those present held up their hands in its favour; of the remaining moiety, only eight voted at all, and they declared against the resolution, which was accordingly carried.\n\nMr ARTHUR here rose and remarked there had been a good deal said about bankers in regard to this Stamp Act. A case had arisen the other day in regard to which he had received a letter from His Excellency in which he found the Banks after all were going to get off easier than they had at first supposed.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN then declared the proceedings at an end, and the meeting broke up.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-115 - Sir MacDonnell - 1866 [9-10].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 267482, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-116 - Sir MacDonnell - 1866 [11-12]", "page_number": 427, "title": "CO129-116 - Sir MacDonnell - 1866 [11-12]", "content_text": "И \n\nPutty \n\n1712 trong trong \n\n424 \n\nin our public register.\n\nIn the \n\nyear, \n\nmouth, \n\nday of \n\nJung-Chee a Public Notification of Bonhamn Strand.\n\n(True Copy.)\n\nColonial Secretary.-\n\nSeparate.\n\nC:0: FEB18 1867\n\nMy Lord,\n\nGovernment house,\n\nHong Kong, 29th December, 1868.\n\nI have the honor to acknowledge the receipt, yesterday, of your Lordship's Despatches as follows :-\n\nOriginals.\n\n1856 271, the last of 7th November, 1866.\n\nCircular of.\n\nSeparate of\n\n19th October 264-\n\n64 November\n\nCircular off.\n\nSeparate of\n\n-\n\nThe Right Honorable\n\nThe Earl of Carnarvon,\n\nHer Majesty's Principal Secretary of State,", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-116 - Sir MacDonnell - 1866 [11-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 267777, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-117 - Public Offices - 1866", "page_number": 284, "title": "CO129-117 - Public Offices - 1866", "content_text": "in fine a Consul constitute & reason\n\na\n\nWhy a Consul should decline to do the remaining part if he be applied to.

That on the 20th day of March last, the said Foong a' Shing returned to Hongkong, and informed me that he had chartered in Cho Kum a Junk called the Kum Shun Lee, that he had loaded her with rice, and that he had left Cho Kum in the said Junk for Hongkong; that the said Foong a' Shing further informed me that on the 8th of March, when near a place called Foong Khy on the West Coast of China, they got into a gale of wind, during which the said Junk was dismasted, she having lost her main-mast. That the said Foong a Shing further informed me that fearing the said Junk might not be able to reach Hongkong in her then disabled state, he had left her to pursue her course whilst he had landed at Foong Khy aforesaid, and that partly by land and partly by boats he had found his way back to Hong-kong to consult with me as to what should be done, it being his opinion that the said Junk, could not reach Hongkong at that time of the year in her then crippled state. That after the said Foong a' Shing and myself had consulted together we decided upon hiring a steamer to go out in search of the Junk, and tow her up to Hongkong, and that the said Foong a' Shing should go himself in the steamer in search of her. That accordingly on the following day, the 21st March, I went to Oo Tye who I knew to be a friend of Kwok a' Cheong, and requested him to ascertain if Kwok a' Cheong would allow one of his steamers to go in search of the said Junk and tow her up to Hongkong, and what he would charge for the service. That I was informed by the said Oo Tye on the same day that he had arranged with Kwok a' Cheong for the service of the steamer Prince Albert. That I was to pay to Kwok a Cheong the sum of Six Hundred Dollars for the use of the said steamer in searching for the Junk, and that this sum should be paid absolutely, whether they succeeded in finding the junk or not, and that if they found the said Junk, a further sum should be paid for towing the said Junk to Hongkong, the amount whereof was to be settled between the Captain of the steamer and the person to be sent by me on the said expedition. That I agreed to the above terms, and that on the following day, the 22nd of March the said steamer left Hongkong with my partner, the said Foong a' Shing on board to go in search of the said Junk. That the said Foong a'\n\n239", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-124 - Sir MacDonnell - 1867 [8-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 270918, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-124 - Sir MacDonnell - 1867 [8-9]", "page_number": 327, "title": "CO129-124 - Sir MacDonnell - 1867 [8-9]", "content_text": "to the forthing Houses,\n\nKarach\n\nthe for: attentions to\n\nthe fount was cathol\n\nsalledd G\n\nthe D.

Besides the church mentioned under No. 11, in which religious service is conducted both in English and Chinese, there are three other places of worship in connection with it where the service is entirely in Chinese – one in the Middle Bazaar, one in Jak-ping-shan, and one at Han-chae.

They were then suspended, and have not been resumed. Besides the Mission House on Lot 98, there is a printing office and store of Chinese types foundry.

MAY, Esq.**\n#### ILLEGAL DETENTION OF TWO COOLIES\n\nA case of some interest came before the above magistrate to-day.\n\nIt appears that the French ship Marie Therese is now loading emigrants for Guiana, and that two men, named Chung-ahee and Chung-asum, were induced to go on board the said Marie Therese by the false representations made to them by one Wong-alung.\n\nThe evidence of the two complainants was important. Chung-ahee said he was walking in the Queen's road on the 9th instant, together with his friend Chung-a-sung, and that Wong-a-lung came up to them, and after some conversation asked them how they would like to go on board ship and work in the harbour; they agreed to go to work, and Wong-a-lung gave them a paper, which he (Wong-a-lung) said the officer on board would require: they went on board, but were not required to work. Wishing to return to the shore, they applied to Lai-a-soo, the interpreter on board, but were told to wait and speak to the \"master\" when he came on board. The mother of witness came off to see him on the 15th inst., but was not admitted on board. Afterwards he was let go, when the police officers came on board. Chung-a-sung gave almost similar evidence, saying that he went on board to work in the harbour, and not to go to a foreign country. The paper given to these men by Wong-a-lung was as follows: \"I have agreed to go to the Dutch Guiana for the same purposes as mentioned in an agreement, as per translation.\" Then followed a translation in Chinese. Chung-a-sung said neither he nor his companion could read either the English or Chinese of the paper, and they were both ignorant of its real contents.\n\nWee-leen-tai, the mother of Chung-a-hee, and aunt of Chung-a-sung, said she heard her son was being detained on board the Marie Therese, and accordingly went off to see them on the 13th instant; but on arriving alongside the vessel she was warned off; she nevertheless managed to speak to her son from the boat she was in. On returning to the shore she went and obtained officers, and delivered her son and nephew on the 15th instant.\n\nThe prisoner, whose name is Lai-a-soo, stated he saw the men come on board; they gave a paper the same as the other emigrants did who came to the ship. He recollected their asking to go ashore, but he had no authority or power whatsoever to let them go. The complainants had an opportunity of speaking to Mr. Styles, the Dutch Emigration Agent here, when he came on board, but they did not do so.\n\nMr. May said he would make no remarks at the present stage of the case; it was most important that Wong-a-lung should be brought up, as he was evidently the man who had induced the men to go on board.\n\nThe case is therefore remanded for a week, when it is to be hoped that the Inspector in charge of the case will produce Wong-a-lung, who, we understand, is hiding at present.\n\n### Police Intelligence, March 20th\n**BEFORE C. MAY, Esq.**\n#### COOLIE MUTINY ON BOARD THE \"MARIE THERESE\"\n\nThis case was again brought forward to-day, to endeavour to fix the assault on some particular one or two of the prisoners.\n\nMr. Caldwell appeared for the prosecution. Ka-a-hing said he was employed by Mr. Baak to procure emigrants, and he was paid $9 for every emigrant he put on board a ship, but he has to pay for their provisions during the time the vessel might be in harbour.\n\nMr. Caldwell here said Mr. Baak would like to make a statement; the witness was not employed by Mr. Baak as he had said.\n\nKa-a-hing said he was employed by Wai-shing, who is employed by Mr. Baak; he was paid by Wai-shing; he had nothing to do with Mr. Baak. He could not identify any of the prisoners as having been procured by him; he used generally to post papers on the walls at West Point, to say that a vessel was going to take emigrants; he believed Mr. Baak had other agents.\n\nMr. Caldwell explained that there was a shop at West Point called Man-fook-wah, where the coolies came to engage themselves; the Wai-shing shop had nothing to do with this matter.\n\nKa-a-hing continued: there were fourteen or more men stopping at the Man-fook-wah; they were mostly agents to get emigrants; they all stopped at the house; the whole fourteen are in partnership, and share the bounty which is received for procuring the emigrants.\n\n| Question | Answer |\n| --- | --- |\n| How many men were required to procure the coolies? | Fourteen |\n| What were their roles? | Some looked after the books, some attended to the provisions, and some were friends given shares for friendship's sake |\n\nMr. May asked how it was that it required so many as fourteen men to procure the coolies, if they all stopped in the same house?\n\nKa-a-hing said some of the men looked after the books, some attended to the provisions, and some were friends, who were given shares in the affair for friendship's sake. He got for his share about $3 a month; all men actively engaged in the Coon get $3 a month extra. There are eight men actively engaged in the Coon, and six in the country, looking for coolies. The head man's name in the Coon was Lee-a-fook. The whole of the fourteen are employed by the A-shing shop. Sometimes it is a losing business, on account of the ship waiting a long time, and the fourteen partners having a good deal to spend for provisions. Circulars are sent to the villages, and they induce the coolies to come down from their native villages. He recognised the prisoners as having all passed through the Coon. On Monday, Mr. Bank, the master of the A-shing shop, and himself went on board the Marie Therese, hearing there was a disturbance going on on board.\n\nMr. Caldwell said no emigrant could go on board without a sort of short permit from the Coon.\n\nKa-a-hing, further examined, said: When the coolies came to the Coon they were shown a paper of agreement, stating how much the coolies would get if they went to Holland and how many years they would have to go for. They could not be engaged anywhere else, or get a paper of agreement anywhere but at the Coon (Man-fook-wah). The coolies were sometimes kept in the Coon a few days. The paper which is given to the coolies before they go on board was the same as shown to him. If the emigrant, on getting on board, was to say he would rather stay at Hongkong, he would not be sent, but he must be seen by the mate.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-131 - Sir MacDonnell - 1868 [6-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 274746, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-131 - Sir MacDonnell - 1868 [6-7]", "page_number": 381, "title": "CO129-131 - Sir MacDonnell - 1868 [6-7]", "content_text": "## \n372\n\nsecretly abetted and aided to mature it.

The evidence of several of the passengers revealed gross dereliction of duty on the part of Captain Middleton during the passage. The Dayspring sailed from the port of Hongkong on the 20th of May, with ninety-six Chinese, and two European passengers. The crew consisted of four Europeans (without a first mate), and a number of South Sea Islanders. After having been at sea for about sixty days, all hands were placed on a short allowance of rations. On reaching cold latitudes the crew became sick, and scorbutic symptoms became manifest among the passengers. On or about the 10th of August a scurvy patient expired, and after that date \"the Chinamen commenced to die fast.\" The provisions supplied to the passengers were inferior to those served out to the ship's crew—in fact, they were not only inferior in quality, but seriously curtailed in quantity. After a miserable passage of 104 days, the ship dropped her anchor off Queenscliff on the 4th inst. Previously to slipping the anchor a Chinese doctor, who was one of the passengers, died of scurvy, and during the following night another Chinaman succumbed to the loathsome disease. Both bodies were subsequently thrown overboard, without having any kind of weight attached to them. On arriving in Hobson's Bay, and after the vessel had anchored, another unfortunate passenger died, and his body was likewise thrown over the side of the vessel—with the additional precaution in this instance of having a weight attached to it.\n\nThe \"second mate\" of the vessel swore that the salt fish doled out to the unfortunate Chinese \"was not fit for food for Europeans\" while the ample statements made by other witnesses examined testified to the fact of there not being a single anti-scorbutic article of diet on board the vessel.\n\nThe Coroner acquainted the jury that he had not taken the evidence of Mr Langdon, the cabin passenger, who is at present an inmate of the Melbourne Hospital. He would mention that it was not his intention to close the investigation without Mr Langdon's evidence, as he (the coroner) considered it would be important.\n\nArchibald Miller, examined,—I was a passenger by the Dayspring from Hong Kong. All the passengers and the crew, with the exception of one cabin passenger, were in good health when we left Hong-kong. The cabin passenger's name is William Abbott Langdon. He is the superintendent of water police at Hongkong. I cannot say if the ship bore a good reputation at Hongkong. Sickness first appeared among the Chinese, about six weeks after we left port. The first death occurred about three weeks after that time. A second death occurred about a week after the first, and then the deaths became frequent. The sufferers appeared to have swollen limbs. I did not consider the Chinamen were well treated throughout the passage. The sauces and pickled onions served out to them were not good. The rice was good. The turnips, yams, and sweet potatoes were bad. The provisions were good at the commencement of the voyage, but they got bad afterwards. The salt fish was bad, but the pork was good. The beef was good, but the Chinese did not seem to care about it. Towards the end of the voyage the beef, pork, and pickled eggs got bad. I saw some lime-juice served out to the Chinese, shortly after the sickness appeared, and while we were in the Gillolo Passage. Lime-juice was served out twice a week for a period of three weeks. It was given to those only who were sick. I did not see any lime-juice served out to the South Sea Islanders. I heard the captain say that the sickness among the Chinese was scurvy. I have seen water running down between decks. It was caused by a leakage in the decks. About a week after its appearance the captain got the decks caulked and pitched. The water got in between decks after the caulking was finished. The crew consisted of eight South Sea Islanders, a second carpenter, a mate, a steward, and the captain. The captain did not always keep his watch, but was occasionally relieved by one of the South Sea Islanders. The second carpenter (Joseph Rowland) kept the captain's watch for about two weeks before we came to anchor. I never saw the South Sea Islanders put out or take in sail without orders. Sandstrou, the second mate, always kept his own watch. After leaving Hongkong we were becalmed for twenty-seven days, and afterwards we experienced squally weather. The Chinamen did not get the same quality of provisions as the other passengers; I think the beef supplied to them was superior to that served out to the other passengers. About a month after leaving port, provisions began to run short, and all hands were placed on short rations. Sickness appeared shortly afterwards. I heard no complaints from the Chinamen; but if they had complained I could not understand them. They were not ill-used, but I have seen water thrown over them, because they came too far aft to speak to their countrymen in the cabin. The captain went below on one or two occasions after death had occurred, for the purpose of looking after the Chinamen. I consider the captain was careless with respect to the lives of the passengers. There was no code of signals on board. The vessel was knocking about the Heads for about a fortnight before coming to anchor. Three deaths occurred at the Heads. The captain manifested no sympathy either for the passengers or the crew during their illness.\n\nTo the Coroner.—The between decks were cleaned out once only. A passenger requested the captain to use chloride of lime. The captain said it would be necessary, but he failed to use it. There were twenty-five tins of preserved meat on board when we left port. The tins varied in size from 5lb. to 7lb. The entire of those provisions were used in the cabin. The captain behaved harshly towards his crew, and used to strike them with his fist several times a day.\n\nCheo Long, whose evidence was interpreted, said, produce a provision diary of the various stores which were served out during the voyage. The day after leaving port we were reduced in firewood by sixty pounds; we received 140lb. instead of 200lb. When at sea about forty-five days all the stores decreased in quantity. About the fifty-third day out the rice became short. Lime-juice was served out only four or five times during the voyage. I received a pannikinful each time. Each man received a pannikinful.\n\nTo Mr Stephen.—The ship was chartered by Wo Hang and Co., of Hongkong. They supplied the provisions for the voyage, and they appointed me to act as interpreter. There was not sufficient wood served out for cooking purposes. The captain distributed one full pannikin of lime-juice to serve for the whole of the passengers. On one occasion he gave out an extra half pannikin.\n\nThe evidence of the Chinese cook was taken, but it was merely a corroboration of the foregoing facts. He swore the captain never went below among the berths during the voyage. The between decks were swept once a week, and were never washed or scraped.\n\nHong Ah Chee, another of the passengers, said that on one occasion, while endeavouring to shelter himself from a shower of rain on deck, the captain came up to him, and kicked him in the side.\n\nThe proceedings were then adjourned until four o'clock on Wednesday next.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-133 - Sir MacDonnell - 1868 [10-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 277871, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-136 - Sir MacDonnell - 1869 [1-3]", "page_number": 344, "title": "CO129-136 - Sir MacDonnell - 1869 [1-3]", "content_text": "Forward\n\n31\n\nTogether Command January February\n\nNumber of Illegal\n\nNumber of Dangerous gambling Characters\n\n741\n\nReturn of\n\nIllegal gamblers 1.

His reason for going first to the Hospital to ask permission for his brother's entry, was that he did not know that it was so perfectly public.\n\nDr. Cochrane, recalled, stated he remembered deceased being taken to the Hospital, and also recollected how dirty the body was, and he was of opinion the deceased was ill for a week or more, but he could not say if death was accelerated by want of proper treatment. He could not say if laying off a blanket at night would hasten death, for the majority of the cases of jaundice brought to him were almost utterly hopeless.\n\nNg-tye-sing, dealer in Celestial cast-off raiments, &c., said he knew Wye-a-po, who was sent to the Yee-tsze ten days ago. He was landlord of the house where Wye-a-po lived, and he said he wished that some relation would come and take him away. He himself sent Wye-a-po on ahead in a chair. When he got to the Yee-tsze, he found that Wye-a-po was refused admittance, on the ground that he was not in a dying state. He paid a woman at the hospital 300 cash, and then the sick man was let in. The cash was given voluntarily to boil something for Wye-a-po, and look after him a little. (This Wye-a-po is in the Civil Hospital alive.)\n\nSi-a-chee, master of the Fook-show coffin shop, said between the book produced—it was a record of coffins sold—but only four appeared as for emigrants.\n\nThe Coroner then said he was prepared to place the case in the jury's hands, and although it had been a long enquiry, yet the case was a serious one, and required to be thoroughly looked into. He certainly thought the case would have been more serious at first, but after the long investigation all endeavour to fix the responsibility on some one had failed. The first question for the jury to decide would be, who was the deceased, and how he died? The name of the deceased was unknown, but he certainly thought that there could be no doubt deceased was an emigrant, and came from the “Kwong-kee.\" He had found that emigration was an excellent thing for China, but in carrying out the arrangements for it, that many abuses appeared. Even Mr. D. R. Caldwell, with his long experience of China and the Chinese, could not entirely check the abuses. (The Coroner then referred to Mr. Lister's evidence, touching the state in which he found the Yee-tsze, but that has already been prominently before the public.) The second question which the jury would have to turn their minds to, was how the deceased died. Dr. Cochrane had, in his evidence, stated that deceased died from jaundice, but he had also said that he could not give his opinion whether the filth in which the deceased was found would accelerate death. He (Coroner) did not think that anything had occupied the public attention, and caused so much sensation as this enquiry, and therefore the jury must consider that they were representing the public in the matter. It was therefore expected that, over and above the decision as to the deceased's death, the jury would express their opinion as to the Yee-tsze establishment. It would have to be an exceedingly strong verdict for him to disagree with it, and he only hoped that the verdict they would return, would be such that an abuse of the kind would never again appear in this colony; with these remarks he would leave the matter in their hands.\n\nThe Jury then retired, and after an absence of three quarters of an hour, returned the following verdict:----\n\n\"We are of opinion that deceased died from natural causes; that a thorough and efficient inspection of the Yee-tsze has not been carried out by the person whose duty it was to pay attention to the state of the place. We deem it our duty to request you to forward to his Excellency the Governor our recommendation, that if the Yee-tsze is to continue open, and be considered as a Hospital any longer, that some efficient and responsible officer be appointed to control the place in future; or if the Yee-tsze is to be permitted to remain a receptacle for dying Chinese, that not only a thorough inspection, but properly framed rules shall exist for the future.\n\nWe, however, consider that a further continuance of the Yee-tsze in any shape is neither desirable nor necessary in this colony, and that a more suitable building be selected as a hospital for Chinese only, subject to proper inspection by the Colonial Surgeon.\"\n\n#\n\n(1)\n\n168\n\nDaily Press of 30 April 1884,", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-138 - Sir MacDonnell - 1869 [6-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 279804, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-140 - Public Offices - 1869", "page_number": 201, "title": "CO129-140 - Public Offices - 1869", "content_text": "6.

The following account of this most successful Performance is taken from the China Mail:- \n\n\"At 8.30, His Excellency the Governor, Lady MacDonnell and guests arrived; and, led by His Royal Highness, the Orchestra gave the National Anthem, the audience rising with the double sense of honouring and being honoured as the 'First Violin,' gave the opening chord. The curtain rose to the Farce of 'Notting Hill.'\" \n\n“Alderman Syllabub (Lieut. Romilly) and Mrs. Chutney (Mr. Key), were admirable in their parts, the chief work devolving upon them. Policeman X (Lord Charles Beresford) was scarcely inferior, though his outward 'get-up,' was a grave libel on that much abused body of men, the London Police. Private Tight-Leather was positively Chinese in his endeavours to fan Mrs. Chutney into consciousness; and Lizzy (Mr. Wild) ably seconded the efforts of Policeman X to be a true lover, and comforted him in a way which is supposed to be peculiarly agreeable to the frequenters of our streets and areas, at home. The fun of the piece turns on the desperate inventions of the Alderman to be prepared against burglars; his protective measures, which involved the connection of the front door with an explosive machine warranted to act, resulting of course in its going off at a most inconvenient moment. The Alderman may congratulate himself upon achieving a very marked success.\" \n\n\"Of the Shakesperian selection 'The Fall of Wolsey,' from Henry VIII, we can only speak in terms of unqualified praise. The part of Wolsey, as taken by the Honourable E. C. Yorke, the Equerry-in-waiting of His Royal Highness, was a real, genuine, conception of the part-not a mere acting edition-and brought the house down in thunders of applause. In many cases indeed, irrepressible individuals who started a cheer were checked by their neighbours who were anxious to hear what was undoubtedly the finest piece of dramatic acting which Hongkong has for some time witnessed. The grand climax, when the taunted, fallen Cardinal exclaims, 'Had I but served my God with half the zeal I served my King, he would not in mine age have left me naked to mine enemies,' was superbly rendered. The enthusiasm awakened was a deserved tribute to the Cardinal's histrionic powers. Cromwell (Mr. Wild) did well, as did the Dukes of Norfolk and Suffolk (Lieut. McHardy and Mr. Neville.) But the Earl of Surrey (Lieut. A. Fitz-George) had a good part and made the most of it; though it is doing him and his companions no injustice to say that the great Cardinal obscured his companions by the admirable rendering of his part.\" \n\n\"Between the two pieces we have thus briefly noticed, the Orchestra gave a selection from Rossini's 'Mosé in Egitto. It was rendered with a precision and taste which did infinite credit to the Royal conductor, the amateurs who assisted, and the professional Bandsmen. Courtesy forbids as extended a criticism as we should desire to give, but we may say in one word, that it called forth on its merits, as a Performance alone, the heartiest applause. A Fest-march of original composition agreeably filled up the interval between the 'Fall of Wolsey' and the very laughable burlesque, by Lieutenant Poore, R.M.A., which followed. 'Crossing the Line' would not have disgraced a more experienced playwright than we presume Lieutenant Poore to be.

Section I of Ordinance 2 of 1850 therefore applies and no Warrant from the Governor under Section IV was required.\n\nThe letter from the Colonial Secretary to the Magistrate informing him of the Demand for Extradition is annexed to the depositions. The practice in England is similar. (See Report of Select Committee on Extradition page 18.)\n\nEvidence of Sir Thomas Henry.\n\n| Question | Answer |\n| --- | --- |\n| 319.-Do you get all the London Cases? | The Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs examines the papers, and if he sees that the offence is one of those named in the Treaty, he sends the papers on to Home Secretary. The papers are examined at the Home Office again, and if the Home Secretary is satisfied that it is a Case within the Treaty, he then sends to the Chief Magistrate at Bow-street a letter, signifying that requisition has been made in the proper manner by the Ambassador or the Minister of the Foreign Country to have the accused delivered up. |\n| 320.-That letter sets you in motion? | That sets me in motion. |\n\nThe Practice to be followed in Hongkong is prescribed in a Despatch from the Secretary of State, of which the following is an extract:\n\n\"Questions have been raised both as to the forms in which the extradition shall be demanded and to the cases to which it shall apply, on both of which I am desirous that you should be fully informed of the views of Her Majesty's Government.\n\n\"On the first head I am to instruct you that the Consular or other Diplomatic Officer is in all cases the recognized Channel of communication between Chinese and British functionaries. That all ordinary communications should be carried on through that Officer and that without his concurrence direct communications should not take place between Colonial Officers and the Chinese Government. Requisitions for the delivery of Criminals should therefore be conveyed to the Colonial Government through the Consular or Diplomatic Officer or with his authority.\"\n\nUnder `6 & 7 Vic. cc. 75 & 76`, the Statutes passed to carry out the Treaties with France and the United States, the communication to the Magistrate must be by Warrant under Seal. Under Ordinance No. 2 of 1850, it is not even required to be in writing. The Writ of Habeas Corpus in this case is a Writ at Common Law and the Return cannot be traversed (3 Chitty's Stat. 3d. Ed. p. 69 note).\n\n## 6th Point\nThere is no evidence whatever before the Court, nor was there before the Magistrate to show that the offence charged against the Prisoner is an offence against the Laws of China. The alleged offence having been committed on board a French ship on the high seas, the presumption is the Chinese Courts have no jurisdiction, and the evidence shows that Chinese Mandarins having the opportunity to arrest and try the Coolies from the \"Nouvelle Penelope,\" took no steps to punish them, (Phil. 377, 413) and no right to claim Extradition.\n\nThere is nothing in the Treaty of Tientsin or in Ordinance No. 2 of 1850 which imposes upon the Magistrate the duty of ascertaining that the crime charged is a crime against the Laws of China;-but in any Case the Court will assume that Murder being a crime malum in se as distinguished from malum prohibitum, is a crime against the Laws of all civilized nations.\n\nIf the Description of Crimes for which Chinese may be surrendered under the Treaty of Tientsin is to be limited at all, it is submitted that it should be limited to such crimes as by our Statute or Common Law would, if committed by a British subject, be justiciable by the Courts of this Colony. This Rule was adopted in the Ashburton Treaty. (See In re Windsor, 10, Cox C. C.), and is also adopted in the Imperial Extradition Act of 1870, in which the following heading to the Schedule of Crimes is prefixed:\n\n\"The following List of Crimes is to be construed according to the Law existing in England, or in a British Possession (as the case may be) at the date of the alleged crime, whether by Common Law or by Statute made before or after the passing of this Act.\"\n\nIf the Murder charged in this Case had been committed by a British subject, it would have been justiciable by the Courts of this Colony. (`Reg. v. Azzopardi. 2 Moody, C. C. 288.`)\n\n## 7th Point\nThe depositions disclose no offence whatever. The conduct of the Coolies in getting possession of the ship being justifiable, they being illegally restrained of their liberty and there being no excess. Unless the acts charged against the Prisoner are such as English Laws attach criminal responsibility to, the Extradition Treaty does not apply.\n\nThe depositions disclose the Murder of nine persons.\n\nAll homicide is prima facie Murder subject to be reduced to justifiable homicide by the particular facts proved in defence. (1 Russell on Crimes, p. 668.) The Prisoner is identified as being one who actually took part in the Murder of the Captain and was an accomplice in the general massacre of the other victims. There is no evidence of his having been illegally coerced and much less of his having been reduced to slavery by the Master of the ship, Captain Le Vigoureux, whom he murdered, or by any one connected with the ship. In Anderson's case (that of the fugitive slave) it was admitted that the case was one of Slavery. (See Wheaton's Int. Law, 8th Edition, Note 75.) Here the question whether the homicide was Murder or excusable homicide on the plea of self defence is not raised on behalf of the Prisoner in the depositions. One of the witnesses states that he was kidnapped by a Barber, Chea Afook, but nevertheless that he told the Macao Authorities he was willing to go and did contract to go to Peru. He likewise says that he heard others say they had been kidnapped. But he does not accuse the Master of the ship or any of the crew of the kidnapping but on the contrary describes their conduct to have been most kind.\n\nThe \"proof of guilt\" required to justify the Surrender under the Treaty of Tientsin is thus stated in a Despatch of the Duke of Newcastle:\n\n\"It is at the same time quite clear in the letter of the Tientsin Treaty that it is only on proof of their guilt that Chinese Criminals can be demanded by Chinese Officers and the proof intended can of course be no other than proof satisfying the minds of those,--the British Officers--who have to determine the question at this preliminary stage. On this head I have to instruct you that as a general rule reasonable evidence ought to be accepted as sufficient, such for example as would lead a Grand Jury, in this Country to find a true bill where the evidence is ex parte only, or such as with evidence on both sides, would induce a Magistrate to commit for Trial.\"\n\nThe Expression \"Proof of Guilt\" in the Treaty of Tientsin has had legislative interpretation, so far as our Courts are concerned, by Section III of Ordinance No. 2 of 1850, which directs the Magistrate to commit on \"probable cause of guilt.\" There is abundant \"probable cause\" within the meaning of Section III of Ordinance No. 2 of 1850, to warrant the Committal. (Wheaton's International Law, Section CXVII, Note 75, by Professor Dana, 8th Edition.)\n\nTernan's case. 9 Cox, C. C.\n\nTernan's Case shows that a Court or a Judge, upon such a Proceeding as the present, is not to weigh the effect of the evidence; that is a matter for the Magistrate. The Court can only consider whether there is enough evidence to justify a Committal, and it is unnecessary to add that in the present case no Magistrate could hesitate to commit the Prisoner for Trial if the case were cognizable by the Supreme Court.\n\nIt has been doubted in the United States whether evidence of Justification of killing can be received at all under the Extradition Treaty with Great Britain. (See In re John Bennett, Southern District Court of New York, reported in 11 Law Times N. S. page 488.)\n\nThe King v. Marks (3 East) shows that if there be a corpus delicti on the depositions, the Prisoner must be remanded, and the cases collected by Mr. Forsyth at page 451 of his work on Constitutional Law show that the Return (if necessary) may be amended. Finally it is again submitted that all Decisions upon other Extradition Treaties are inapplicable so far as the nature of the crime charged is concerned, inasmuch as the Treaty of Tientsin embraces all crimes. The facts alleged in the Return cannot be traversed. [The Writ of Habeas Corpus taken out in this case is a Writ at common Law.

Early in the afternoon, the crowded streets leading to the Hospital were kept clear by a detachment of Police, composed of Europeans, Sikhs and Chinese, and the full force of the District Watchmen for this District. It was no easy matter to clear the way, as at the time of the Chinese New Year festivities the streets are unusually crowded, and the three Chinese Theatres, all in this locality, were in full swing. About 2:30 P.M. a guard of honour from the 74th Regiment, with the Regimental Band, arrived, and lined the road leading up to the Hospital. Shortly after 3 P.M., His Excellency arrived, accompanied by Mr. CREACH, acting A.D.C., and Private Secretary NORTHCOTE; and Admiral HILLYAR, accompanied by Secretary PARISH and Flag-Lieutenant WILLOUGHBY, preceded a few minutes before by Dr. MOWLL, formerly of H.M.S. Vigilant. Among the foreign visitors present to witness the ceremony, were Mr. HAYLLAR, Q.C., Rev. Dr. E. J. EITEL, Mr. J. J. FRANCIS, and Mr. D'ALMADA. The Chinese community was very fully represented, there being present nearly 300 influential native residents from all classes of the community; and of those present some 50 or 60 were in their Mandarin costumes, some with blue buttons, some with crystal, and some with gold buttons; while a few had the additional honour of wearing the peacock's feather. Among those in uniform, we observed: Messrs. LEONG ON, CHUN TING CHEE, KWOK ACHEONG, CHEANG SING YEONG, LING HO WOON, WONG YIK PAN, WAI AKWONG, NG CHOY, CHUN AYIN, FUNG MING SHAN, WONG KWAN TONG, NG Sang, WONG SHING, NG CHEUK CHEE, and others.\n\nOn the arrival of His Excellency and party, the Band of H.M. 74th Regiment struck up a familiar strain; while as the Governor and party entered, a salute of three guns was fired and some Chinese music was performed. Those of the Chinese who were in uniform then placed themselves in two lines from the door up to the Hall, and saluted the Governor and Admiral in proper Chinese style. His Excellency was then conducted to the top of an oblong table, with Admiral HILLYAR on his right and Dr. MOWLL on his left. After all were seated, tea, and refreshments in the shape of confectionery were brought in. The Governor and party were conducted through the patients' wards, and then back to the Hall.\n\nThis over, Mr. NG CHOY then rose and said: - YOUR EXCELLENCY AND GENTLEMEN, I have been asked to be spokesman on this occasion, and I have accepted that honour with very great pleasure, though I think there may be more competent persons present to undertake the task. In the first place, I have been requested to thank Your Excellency, for your kind visit here to-day, on behalf of the Chinese community of Hongkong. We are here to receive and welcome Your Excellency in this hall. I may be permitted to say that we have represented every class of the Chinese community. The gentlemen here represent the Committee of this Hospital, Merchants, Compradores, Shopkeepers, and, in fact, every trade and profession in this Colony. We have thought it advisable to commit what we have to say on this occasion to writing, and to consider it well before doing so. Your Excellency may take this address, which we shall have the honour to present to you, as expressing not only our own views, who are here, but the unanimous sentiment of the Chinese community. This address is in two parts; one part is in Chinese and the other part is in English. The latter is a free translation of the first, and, with Your Excellency's permission, we shall read the Chinese part first, and then I shall follow by reading the English part. I will now call upon my Chinese friend, to read the Chinese part.\n\nMr. WONG KWAN TONG then read the address in Chinese.\n\n4 \nMr. Lowerek on behalf of the Unofficial Members expressed approval of this.\n\n5. Saving previously discussed the question very fully in the Executive Council, I found that they all concurred in my views. When the proposed conference has indicated the nature of the reforms that are required I shall submit them to your Lordship for approval.\n\nI have the honor to be, My Lord, Your Lordship's most Obedient, Stumble Brant\n\nInclosure 17 in Governor Pope Hennessy's Despatch No. 2147 20th Feby, 1875 - \nTHE HONGKONG Government Gazette. \nNo. 7. \nPage 175 \n\n## \nPage 363 \n... \nNo text on this page.\n\n## \nNo more text related to the initial pages.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-181 - Governor Hennessy - 1878 [1-8].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 302220, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-181 - Governor Hennessy - 1878 [1-8]", "page_number": 381, "title": "CO129-181 - Governor Hennessy - 1878 [1-8]", "content_text": "## Statement made by the Colonial Surgeon.\n\nCheung Ashine has the scar of a wound on the head, where the line of the hair meets the forehead and immediately over the right eye.

The principles I have laid down are well-established principles; they have been proved almost with the accuracy of a proposition in Euclid, and it is no wonder when those principles were not acted upon, that you have an overflowing gaol, and prison offences increasing in this rapid ratio for the last three years,—426, 1,085, and 2,726.\n\nIt has been asserted that the number of prisoners at present in our gaol is actually greater than in prison; his mind as well as his body is affected: he may be physically altered by prison treatment. There is nothing an Executive can so thoroughly make a greater mistake in than in assuming medical knowledge they cannot be expected to have. The Colonial Surgeon of Hongkong has had experience in other parts of the East, and in his first conversation with me, he told me in connection with his Indian experience that there was not a doctor in India who would for a moment countenance the flogging of Orientals on the back with the cat as was in 1876. Here is a return from the Acting Superintendent, Captain Ducat; I find, according to this return, the total number of Chinese and Coloured prisoners in Hongkong Gaol to-day is 382. What was the number of Chinese and Coloured prisoners at this time last year in the prison? It was 430. That is, however, a matter of small importance. The fact that we have fewer criminals in the gaol to-day than on the 17th of September, 1876, is of itself of little moment, for in the first place, the regulations which I hope ultimately to introduce are, except in some urgent but minor points, not yet in force, and the slight changes I have made are trivial compared to those I will have ultimately to propose.\n\nDr. Ayres made a report of great gravity to me with respect to flogging the Chinese on the back in this Colony. In the gaol hospital, I saw one man, an old man, who had been a long time in prison. This man was pointed out to me by Dr. Ayres as being in hospital for incurable lung disease. I attach no great significance, therefore, to the fact that at this date there happen to be fewer criminals in the gaol than at this time last year. The incurable hæmorrhage of the lungs from which this prisoner suffers is entirely due to those floggings. The Colonial Surgeon assured me that this prisoner had been a tall, strong man when he came into prison; now he is on the edge of the grave. He had been punished twenty-three times, including three floggings.\n\nI have mentioned Captain Ducat, and I had not the honour of his acquaintance beyond that of any other gentleman who may do me the favour of coming to Government House occasionally, but I sent to His Excellency the General commanding the troops and asked him to select from the officers under his command a strict disciplinarian, for I wanted a man of the kind to deal with the gaol until Mr. Tonnochy came out. Dr. Ayres gave it as his professional opinion that in every case where a Chinaman is flogged on the back with the cat, symptoms of congestion of the lungs follow, and he says he is never surprised when that congestion passes away and the man is apparently cured at the time from the effects of the flogging that the same man in a few months comes back to the hospital spitting blood. He drew my attention also to the fact of the scars remaining on their backs for the remainder of their lives, so that when liberated from prison and working on a day like this, their backs are seen, and they are branded amongst whatever honest men they may be among. The prisoner carries such punishment with him to the end of his life. The law never intended that.\n\nWith regard to the branding and deportation of prisoners, such as the branding of fifty prisoners in January last, it is not only opposed to all sound principles of dealing with criminals, but Mr. Douglas, a former Superintendent of the Gaol, had pointed out in a minute to one of my predecessors that the branding of a prisoner on the cheek or the neck had a bad effect, because the Hongkong brand is well known at Canton and at Macao. They know the meaning of that mark; and the consequence is that the branded man is hunted away by all honest people; he cannot get employment; he is rendered for life ineligible as an Emigrant, and he is driven back again to prey on the property of this Colony, because he has no other means of getting a livelihood.\n\nSince I assumed this Government of this Colony, the Visiting Justices have sometimes sentenced prisoners to be flogged for prison offences; in every case, I have approved that flogging, and upon the whole, I have approved, I say it with regret, of something over twenty floggings since my arrival; I say it with regret, because on my left (the Acting Colonial Secretary, Mr. Cecil Smith) drew my attention to what a Secretary of State had written to one of my predecessors. He said an indelible mark on the cheek of a criminal is evidently objectionable as fastening on the delinquent a stigma from which he could never be rescued; it consigns him to permanent infamy. Well, I think it must be admitted there is a good deal in what that Secretary of State—it was the late Lord Derby—said. The views Lord Derby expressed to the Governor of Hongkong were subsequently confirmed by the practical experience of Mr. Douglas, the Superintendent of the Gaol.\n\nMy perusal of the prison archives of this Colony—for not a month has passed for many years without its quota of branded prisoners being deported to the mainland—has convinced me that Lord Derby was right. I think the Chief Justice and others will agree with me that the time has come when we may fairly re-consider this odious part of our prison discipline. Mr. Keswick's views and those of the Police Commission have been carried out, and we have a Police force chiefly of Chinese. Not a deported man comes back now but he is very soon known. Formerly, we had all Europeans and Indians, but they could not distinguish the Chinese prisoners one from another; now the Chinese constables could detect without the branding; and if even in a small number of cases we are to be convinced that it prevents men from obtaining honest employment and drives them back to petty crimes, I think we might give up the branding system.\n\nWithin the last few months, I have received some printed despatches in which reference is made incidentally to the gaol system in the Bahamas. The previous Governor differed with me and thought that the negroes could only be influenced by the lash. He said Europeans, Chinese, or Hindoos might deal with in another way, but not negroes. When I went there, Lord Kimberley said to me, \"I am giving you a troublesome post; owing perhaps to wrecking, crime is excessive.\" I endeavoured to see what could be done, and while I applied with strict severity the laws for the protection of life and property, I endeavoured to rectify the prison discipline. I endeavoured to give the prisoners useful labour and had them informed that the only way in which they could regain their liberty before their full sentence expired was by steady good conduct and hard work. That system was carried out, not my system, but the system of the British Government, the system laid down by the Secretary of State, that you must combine the two things, severe punishment with reformatory training.\n\nWhen I visited the gaol for the first time, I found three, five, and seven prisoners in the same sleeping cells, overcrowded in every way. On making inquiry from Mr. Tomlin, I found that it had been even worse in 1876, when the number of prisoners was larger; during the greater part of that year, the Chinese prisoners had only 190 cubic feet of air allowed for each person in the sleeping cells; the Government having over and over again laid it down that only each prisoner ought not to have less than 600 cubic feet of sleeping space. It might be asked, how comes it to pass that the Government have not noticed this, that you had 190 feet only instead of 600 feet?\n\nIn the Blue Book for 1876, in answer to the usual printed question, which comes out from the Colonial Office, \"How many cubic feet of space are there for each prisoner during the hours of sleep?\"—there is this answer: \"The daily average number of prisoners during 1876 was 432, as against 374 in the previous year; the cubic space for each person was 86·4 feet as against 982 feet in the preceding year.\" But it is not only that. Certain gentlemen excel in explaining that the space of passages and corridors had been included in the estimate.\n\n## 415\n\nGentlemen, I have said that Her Majesty's Government have an extensive experience, and there is no doubt whatever that no greater mistake can be made than to imagine the local knowledge of any place can outweigh the universal experience of Her Majesty's Government in dealing with such matters.\n\nGentlemen, ... \n\nI have not gone into full particulars with respect to what was the result? Not a single lash was applied in the Bahamas from that time, and crime declines, and he adds, I am very happy to say that I have not allowed a single case of flogging. That able Governor has carried out, not my system, but the system laid down by the Secretary of State.\n\nThe best attempt at reformation is to keep the prisoners employed at useful labour and let them understand that remission of imprisonment will depend upon that labour and on steady good conduct. Unfortunately, the opposite experiment was tried here; the gentlemen who framed the Gaol Report laid down that reformation was impossible, but also gave up the idea in toto of anything useful. Has he the opportunity of practising that for the good of the State and himself? No; he leaves this prison probably ignorant of the little he knew before going in.\n\nI made the Labuan prison pay all its expenses; and with this, as I have just said, there was no flogging, and crime declined in the Colony. Within the last few months, I have received some printed despatches... It was only the other day a man was brought up before my honourable friend here (Mr. May), or Mr. Russell, for returning from deportation. The constable said, “I knew the man perfectly well without the branding.” \n\nHaving administered Governments in other parts of the world, I can recollect the fact that during the four years I had to deal with the worst classes of Singapore and Hongkong convicts at Labuan, not a single lash was applied. The sixty Chinese convicts that were sent from Hongkong to Labuan, and the hundred Chinese convicts I got from the Straits Settlement enabled me to study for four years the mode of treating Chinese prisoners. I visited the prison every week. I substituted Chinese Turnkeys for Malay Warders. I made your very worst Hongkong criminals amenable to strict discipline. I found that Chinamen could be made to conduct themselves properly and that it was not hopeless to attempt to improve their moral condition.

We come here because we are forced by circumstances to endeavour to state and to state in so uncertain terms-the feelings which we have in reference to the conduct of a certain department of the Government of the colony. If any other man were Governor and the same circumstances existed equally would we be here to state the opinions which we hold in reference to this matter. We in Hongkong, gentlemen, are men who have work to do who have but little time to work up statistics to check them when they are made up; or to attend to any matters of public interest. As a rule we would much prefer to let things take their course, even if they were going slightly wrong, simply from our inability to devote any or hardly any time to public duties. We should not be an excitable community. We don't take every opportunity to get up meetings and attack institutions. I venture to say, we are recognised as a community which has self-respect, and we should be wanting in that self-respect if we allowed the things to go on under our noses which have been going on and take no notice whatever, but sit down calmly and submit-(Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, this character, which I say this community is entitled to, will have its due weight when it is known there has been a meeting of this kind in which resolutions have been adopted-a weight which would never have been felt had the tone of the community been of a different kind.\n\nIt is not my object in coming here to-day to lecture on the resolution I bring forward. I think it expresses the views of certainly the majority of this meeting. I will read it-\n\nThat in the opinion of this meeting the almost total abolition of the system of deporting habitual criminals, which in most cases means simply returning the deported to the place from which they came to violate the laws of the colony, is injudicious and will result in gaol accommodation having to be provided for an undue proportion of the criminal population of the south of China at an expense the colony should not be called upon to bear.\n\nGentlemen, in the question of deporting there is a want of concord of which I have spoken. It is unnecessary to speak of in detail, but I think I ought to mention one or two circumstances as a proof of the statements I have made. First, then, I will refer to the application of the laws and the carrying out of the sentences of the Courts. Chief Justice Smale's sentences of flogging with the cat were disallowed. They were sentences, therefore, I presume, they were the law. They were disallowed, without any medical examination of the prisoners, on the plea that the use of the cat would cause consumption. Second-In spite of the existing laws, both public and private flogging with the cat have been abolished. Third-Deportation and tattoo marking behind the ear have also been practically abolished. Fourth-In spite of the law, no returned deportee can now be proceeded against, without the Police first obtaining the Governor's personal approval; thus the Governor individually interposes between criminals and the law. Fifth-Discredit has been thrown on the administration of justice by impugning the action of the Supreme Court, the death sentence in the Shek-O murder case being commuted on the plea that the prisoner had not been defended by a solicitor as well as a barrister. Sixth-Acting Chief Justice Snowden's application to have his defence of the Supreme Court published in the Government Gazette, following the publication of Chief Justice Smale's letter, was disallowed.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN-Before putting this I should like to know if any one wishes to make any remarks or move an amendment in any shape.\n\nMr. FRANCIS-It is not true.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN-That is strong language.\n\nMr. Lowcock-The same gentleman applied the term to the Chairman before.\n\nMr. FRANCIS-I applied no such term to the Chairman.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN-Something very like it.\n\nMr. Lowcock-In the case of a man named Low Awan, arrested for unlawful possession, Mr. Francis, in discharging the man, said the constable had no right to stop or even search a man whom he suspected of anything or another.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN-That has nothing to do with the resolution.\n\nThe resolution was then put to the meeting and carried unanimously.\n\nMr. Lowcock-Gentlemen, not having been previously aware that there was an objection to preparing resolutions, or even a few remarks, I must plead guilty to having prepared-not a speech, because I don't know how to make one, but a few remarks on the resolution. I therefore hope you will allow me to refer to a few heads which I have made on paper in relation to the resolution. I resume all of us here present entertain the same feeling of regret for the necessity which has made this meeting together; but I do not think I am asking you, as my fellow-citizens, to believe too much when I state that I have never felt greater pain or greater regret in the performance of any duty than that which now comes into my hands. But it is a duty, and I must go through with it, hoping to receive the support of the meeting in carrying the resolution. From what has fallen from those who have already addressed you, and from the manner in which the previous resolutions have been passed and received, it is quite clear that this community is dissatisfied with the policy of the Government as regards the administration of the laws and the treatment of criminals; while I regret there is reason to believe that the machinery composing the Government has been worked lately in a manner quite inconsistent with the proper performance of those functions for which it had been arranged; in fact, that for so long a time there has been so little accord between the head of the Government and almost all of the different departments, that the machine is quite out of order and does not work as the public have a right to expect it should. Who is to blame for this? We cannot say that others must answer. We are all to blame.\n\nOne of the learned counsel spoke of the centralisation that governs this colony, but to re-arrange the various parts of the engine or machine and make it work in the smooth, easy, regular manner it did prior to its derangement is the remedy. I think you will, with one centre, answer that it is clear that we are powerless. There is no danger of intimidating me. I think the colony may congratulate itself that there is a centralisation, because before now it has profited by it. The fallacy in the speeches of the two learned counsel has been an insufficient distribution of what is called the middle term.-(Laughter.) They have told us, sir, that because the police are not so good as they should be, therefore other measures which have been found to have a repressive effect should be abolished.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN-Order, please.\n\nMr. A. MACCLYMONT-The meeting has been somewhat prolonged, and I will not detain you with any unnecessary observations. But what is the remedy? I think it is clear that we are powerless, and it therefore only remains for us to seek help elsewhere from Her Majesty's Government. Therefore, I would ask you to pass the resolution I now propose.-(Loud Cheers.) It is as follows:-\n\nThat this meeting is strongly of opinion that it is desirable that Her Majesty's Government should appoint a commission from England or from some colony other than Hongkong, with full powers to inquire into the present state of life and property in this Colony.\n\n## POLICE DUTIES IN HONGKONG\n\nAfter the piratical attack of the 25th ultimo the first question of the indignant public was, as we said at the time-Who is responsible for the lawless condition of things in the Colony? His Excellency the Governor, in an official minute made on the 27th ultimo referring to some documents previously placed before him on the distribution of the Police Force, says: \"These documents confirm the suspicions I entertained that the night beats in this Colony are undermanned.\"\n\n| District | Number of Police on regular beats between midnight and 6 am (1876) | Number of Police, constables on duty (1890) |\n|------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------|\n| Central Districts | 14 (European), 20 (Chinese) | 8 (European), 15 (Chinese) |\n\nThe apparent decrease in the number of European constables is accounted for by the addition of 4 constables to the number on duty from 6 p.m. to midnight and of 2 to the number of the detective force on duty at uncertain hours. The decrease in the number of Chinese constables is not accounted for.\n\nMr. GRANVILLE SHARP-I should like to say a word. I was very hopeful indeed this resolution might have been overruled, because I believe it is the only resolution in which there can be the slightest thought of reflection upon His Excellency the Governor. From this it would appear that Mr. HENNESSY wishes to fix the responsibility for the lawless condition of things in the Colony on the Police. With the evidence before us at present, however, we fail to see that any wrong construction should be placed upon the returns of Captain DEANE. It is difficult to see how the night beats can be increased to thirty-three per cent greater strength than the maximum of 1876, as His Excellency desires, without a considerable addition to the force.\n\nMr. NELSON-I would merely suggest, in reference to the proposal of Mr. Sharp, that however kind it may be, and however good in its feeling, no committee of the kind he suggests could perform the duties efficiently and well. In this colony we pay heavy taxes for all these things to be done for us.\n\nMr. SHARP-That has increased until out of indifference and enmity. We have to be thankful that there is a centralisation, because before now it has profited by it. The fallacy in the speeches of the two learned counsel has been an insufficient distribution of what is called the middle term.-(Laughter.) They have told us, sir, that because the police are not so good as they should be, therefore other measures which have been found to have a repressive effect should be abolished.\n\nThe amendment was then put to the meeting and only three voted for it. The original resolution was carried with three dissentients.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN-Thank you, thank you.\n\nMr. A. P. MacEWEN-Sir, in proposing the last resolution I think there remains very little to be said to ask you to support it, as the ideas expressed by speakers at this meeting have met with such unanimous approval. It is as follows:-\n\nThat the Chairman of this meeting do forward these resolutions to the Honourable the Colonial Secretary, requesting that His Excellency the Governor will forward a copy of the same to the Right Honourable the Secretary of State for the Colonies by the first opportunity.\n\nMr. HAYLLAR-I will second that with pleasure.\n\nMr. NELSON-I would merely suggest, in reference to the proposal of Mr. Sharp, that... \n\nMr. SHARP-That His Excellency the Governor is hereby requested to direct that a watch committee be formed consisting of the three non-official members of the Legislative Council, with three merchants, one American, one German, and one Indian merchant, of which three members, consisting of one Member of Council, one merchant, and one banker form a sub-committee. That the duties of the watch committee be the general supervision of police matters in Hongkong and its dependencies, for which purpose the Governor be requested to clothe them with substantial powers.\n\nMr. HAYLLAR-I will second that with pleasure.\n\nThe resolution was put to the meeting, and carried amid cheering.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN-I hope what has taken place may be the means of doing good.\n\nMr. FRANCIS-I beg to propose a vote of thanks to the Chairman.\n\nThree cheers for the Queen were called for and warmly given, and a cheer for the Chairman.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-182 - Governor Hennessy - 1878 [9-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 303625, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-184 - Governor Hennessy - 1879 [1-5]", "page_number": 217, "title": "CO129-184 - Governor Hennessy - 1879 [1-5]", "content_text": "# Case of Regina versus Chee Chum & Cha\nMagistracy, Hongkong, 21st August, 1876.\n\n## Charge Details\nCharged on the 23rd August 1876.

In the centre was placed a large American shield, flanked on each side by British shields and surmounted by the American, French, and English ensigns. A guard of honour of the 27th (Inniskillings), with the Colours and the Band, were drawn up on the Pier, and the Police, under the charge of Captain-Superintendent Deane, lined the road from the Pier to Government House. His Excellency the Governor, who arrived at a quarter to five o'clock, accompanied by Major Palmer, R.E., A.D.C., stood at the head of the steps to receive the General, and the heads of the naval, military, and civil services and the members of the Legislative Council were also assembled at the head of the pier. His Excellency the Governor was dressed in plain clothes and wore his C.M.G. star. The naval and military officers were in undress uniform. Most of the British and foreign residents, with one or two ladies, and a large number of Chinese were likewise present on the pier, which was lined on one side three or four deep. Along the route up to Queen's road a large concourse of people had collected, all eager to catch a glimpse of the distinguished visitors.\n\nAt ten minutes to five the Victoria came alongside the Murray Pier, and the General with Mr. Holcombe landed. His Excellency the Governor, descending a few steps, said - \"General Grant, welcome to Hongkong.\" On entering the mat-shed, His Excellency presented General Grant to Major-General Donovan, Sir John Smale, Chief Justice; Hon. J. Russell, Acting Attorney-General; Hon. M. S. Tonnochy, Acting Colonial Treasurer; the Right Rev. Bishop Burdon, Hon. P. Ryrie, Hon. J. M.

Muskett, and Mr. J. Bremner, R.N. The above gentlemen were introduced in the order named. His Excellency then gave his arm to Mrs. Grant, and the party proceeded along the pier, the guard of honour saluting as they did so, while the Band played. By some unexplainable oversight the usual British cheer was inadvertently omitted.\n\nThe front of the Victoria Recreation Club was decorated with bunting, and the premises of Messrs.

Ng Choy, Leung On, Fang Tang, Hop Koe, Ho Amei, Lee Sing, and Chong Tsin Yeong, waited upon General Grant at Government House, to present him with an address previous to his departure.\n\nHis Excellency the Governor introduced the deputation to General Grant, and the Hon. A. E. Bois, Colonel Mosby, and Major Palmer, A.D.C., were also present.\n\nMr. Ng Choy, who had been deputed to present the address, began by saying a few words regretting that, owing to the time necessarily taken in preparing it, they had been unable to wait sooner upon the General for the purpose of presentation. He then handed him the address and read the translation of it, as follows:-\n\n**(Translation)**\n\nTo General Ulysses S. Grant, late President of the United States of America and Commander-in-Chief of the United States Army.\n\nOn the occasion of your honouring Hongkong with your presence we, the undersigned, on behalf of the Chinese Community, approach you to give you a hearty welcome and beg to present to you an address expressive of our high esteem and respect for you.\n\nDuring your Presidency, your great name and noble qualities were well known far and wide, and by the carrying out of laws and respect from you commanded admiration from all classes of people under your rule, we have been delighted to learn that in international questions you have shown a spirit of impartiality and fairness, treating Americans and Foreigners alike, and the Chinese who have been trading in the United States have sung, and continue to sing, praises of the many good actions done by you while in office. We had longed to see you, but being far away we were hitherto not permitted to realize our wish. Now that you have honoured us with a visit, we avail ourselves of the opportunity to present you with a scroll inscribed with these four words \"Benefit to Chinese People\" which we hope may serve as a souvenir of your interview with the Chinese Community of Hongkong.\n\nNg Choy \nO Man Chai \nKwok Aubeong \nChing Sing Yeong \nWong Kwau Tong \nLoong On \nKon Moon Walt \nChum Sui Shug \nSee mee Sang Kai \ning Sart Yeong \nYo Wni San \nPan Fong Poo \nPow Chung Hung \nCha Sit Chuen \nPoon Chi Kai \nLee Sing \nHo Amei \nLeo Tuck Chong \nFung Tang \nChow Shing Lam \nTung Ting Kam \nLoo Lai Pang \nWong Yu Yee \nLee Pun Chee \nSay Yeon Man \nMing Koo \nTung Tack Chan \nLai Hong Chunan Yuen \nCheong Wing \nWing Mow Cheong \nChong Woo Chan \nLong Cheong Chan \nWing Cheong Chan \nYa Sang Cheong \nMee Fook \nMesa Cheong Wo \nKwan Choong Lung \nTeu Cheong Lang \nKwong Lee Cheong \nWing Cheong Phing \nTon Hing Lung \nKwong Man Fung \nChun Wing...

It will be kept by me as a pleasing memento of the Chinese community of Hongkong. In other colonies during my recent travels I have also met countrymen of yours, and I have found the rulers of those colonies recognising your good qualities of frugality, industry, and enterprise. Such qualities go far to account for the prosperous condition in which I see you all here. I am now leaving Hongkong to visit your country, and I am sure I shall see much that will be very interesting to me. For this handsome address I must again thank you most sincerely, and I shall never forget the kindness shown to me by the people here. I wish that prosperity may continue to be enjoyed by you.\n\nAt the request of His Excellency the Governor, Mr. Ng Choy introduced the other members of the deputation to the General.\n\nThe deputation then withdrew. The address, which was sixteen feet long by four feet wide, an extremely handsome scroll, was embroidered in gold on a strip of crimson satin about ten feet long, with a rich deep border, exquisitely embroidered. The characters are written in Chinese. On the top of the scroll is written the address, on the right side is General Grant's name in Chinese, and on the opposite side are the signatures. In the centre are four large Chinese characters, viz:- \"Wai Kap Wa Man\" (Benefit to Chinese people.) The scroll was packed in a teak wood box.\n\nIn response to the invitation of His Excellency the Governor, the officials, naval, military, and civil, as well as a large number of the general community, assembled shortly before eleven o'clock a.m. at Murray Pier to see General Grant and party embark for the U.S.S. Ashuelot. There were present the Chief Justice (Sir John Smale), His Excellency Major-General Donovan; Commodore Smith; the Hon. W. H. Marsh, Colonial Secretary; Hon. J. Russell, Attorney-General; Hon. M. S. Tonnochy, Acting-Colonial Treasurer; Hon. J. M. Price, Surveyor-General; Hon. P. Ryrie, Hon. W. Keswick, and Hon. H. B. Gibb, Members of the Legislative Council; the Acting Puisne Judge; Hon. C. B. Plunket; Colonel Geddes, 27th Regiment; Colonel Sherwin-ton, Assistant Commissary-General; Colonel Moore, Commissary-General of Ordnance; Colonel Mosby, U. S. Consul; Mr. Taro Ando, Japanese Consul; Captain Kasama, H.I.J.M. corvette Nissin; a good sprinkling of naval and military officers and a number of the residents. The police, under Captain-Superintendent Deane, lined the road from Government House to the pier, upon which was drawn up a company of the 27th Inniskillings with their colours and band. Punctually at eleven o'clock the General and his party, with His Excellency the Governor and Mrs. Hennessy, arrived at Murray Pier, when General Grant gave his arm to Mrs. Hennessy while the Governor escorted Mrs. Grant to the head of the pier. The guard of honour presented arms, and the band played as they passed. Arrived at the steps, the General and his party exchanged adieux with those present, and as they stepped into the Government launch Mr. Hennessy called for three cheers for General Grant, which invitation was warmly responded to, and one cheer more for Mrs. Grant added. His Excellency the Governor, Mrs. Hennessy, Colonel Mosby, Major Palmer, R.E., A.D.C., and Dy. Paymaster Eastlake accompanied the party to the Ashuelot. As the launch steamed away from the pier the band of the 27th played their Farewell March to Gosport, which included \"Over the Sea\" and \"Good bye, Sweetheart.\" On passing the Spanish gunboat Marques del Duero, and the German corvette Luise, the marines on both vessels were drawn up and saluted the launch, the band on the Luise playing \"Hail Columbia.\" Captain Mortimer L. Johnson, the new commander of the Ashuelot, received the General and party on board and conducted them to the hurricane deck, where there were in waiting Mr. and Mrs. Forbes, Admiral Polo (Spanish Navy), Captain Sobering (H.I.G.M. Navy), Dr. Von der Horck, and Mrs. Eastlake. After the final farewells had been taken, the Governor, Mrs. Hennessy, Colonel Mosby, and Major Palmer left in the Government launch. On His Excellency leaving the Ashuelot he was saluted by that vessel. The Ashuelot shortly afterwards left for Swatow.\n\nMr. Afong, the photographer, has taken an excellent view of the embarkation.\n\nPage 338", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-184 - Governor Hennessy - 1879 [1-5].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 303752, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-184 - Governor Hennessy - 1879 [1-5]", "page_number": 344, "title": "CO129-184 - Governor Hennessy - 1879 [1-5]", "content_text": "# THE CHINA MAIL.\n\n## HONGKONG, MONDAY, MAY 12, 1879.\n\nThe following ladies and gentlemen were Guests at Government House on Saturday evening: General and Mrs Grant, Lieut.-Colonel Grant, Hon.

The General and his party were accompanied to the Murray Wharf by the Governor and Mrs. Hennessy, who proceeded on board the steamer with their departing guests. A large number of the principal inhabitants were at the pier to witness the departure of our illustrious visitors, and many with whom the General and his party have come into official or social intercourse here were present to say \"good-bye\". As the Governor's steam launch, which conveyed them to the steamer, left the wharf, His Excellency called for three cheers for General Grant, which were lustily given, followed by \"one cheer more for Mrs Grant,\" heartily responded to, the General and Mrs. Grant respectively bowing and smiling their acknowledgements.\n\nThere were amongst those on the pier as the General and party left: H. E. General Donovan; the Chief Justice, Sir John Smale, Acting Puisne Judge J. J. Francis, The Surveyor General Hon. J. Price, Hon. P. Ryrie, Hon. C. B. Plunket, Messrs E. Sharp, G. Sharp, Lister, Gibb, Donnys, and Tonucchy. Mr Ng Choy, and a number of leading Chinese Merchants, and most of the leading European residents, were also present. The Japanese Consul, and the Captain of the Japanese man-of-war which arrived the other day, were also on the pier. As the launch steamed past the various ships of war, salutations were exchanged. Inspector Matheson was on the spot to render any assistance that might be necessary, and the crew of his boat tossed their oars as the distinguished party passed. The Ashuelot was reached, and the General was received on board by a guard of honour. Dr and Mrs Eastlake, Master Eastlake, Dr Vander Horck, Mr Forbes, and the Spanish Consul were on board to take leave of the General. H. E. the Governor and Mrs Hennessy remained on board the Ashuelot for about ten minutes, where, having shaken hands heartily with all the party, and wished them a pleasant passage, they took their leave, accompanied by Colonel Mosby, the U. S. Consul, who had come off with the party in the launch. The Government launch having dropped astern of the Ashuelot, the British and American Ensigns were run up at the fore, and a salute fired. The wheels of the Ashuelot moved round immediately the firing ceased, and as she steamed from her anchorage, the usual amount of handkerchief and hat waving was indulged in.\n\nWe have been requested to publish the following letter:\n\n(Copy)\n\nHongkong, 10th May 1879.\n\nMessrs. FORBES, HOPPIUS and KESWICK,\nCommittee,\n\nGentlemen,-I am just this moment, 4.50 p.m., put in possession of your note of this date informing me that the Committee of arrangements for the Garden party to be given this evening have appointed you a special Committee to notify me that on account of the threatening bad weather, they propose to postpone the party until Monday evening the 12th, and ask me to accept for that evening. I am sorry to say that my arrangements for leaving here on Monday morning are such that I do not feel justified in making any delay beyond that date. Answers have been sent to inquiries as to the date of my arrival at Shanghai, and at two or three other points we expect to touch by the way.\n\nI regret not meeting, in a social way, the citizens of Hongkong who have been kind enough to give me this invitation, and hope I may meet each and all, if not together, separately, at a later day in some part of the world.\n\nI am, with great respect,\nYour obedient servant,\n\n(Signed)\nU. S. GRANT.\n\nWe notice a feeble paragraph in this morning's paper regarding the proposed entertainment to General Grant (evidently communicated by one of the Committee), in which a weak attempt is made to gloss over the series of inexcusable blunders that have characterized the management. It is important, however, that the public should not be thus misled, and that they should bear in mind the following facts, which we have ascertained from a reliable source, and which bear out to the fullest extent the remarks we made on Saturday evening:\n\n1.

I have now, ladies and gentlemen, to propose to you a number of names to form that Committee. I am perfectly certain that when you hear the names you will all assent. In electing these gentlemen you elect not only a representative body but gentlemen who will really carry out the object for which we are met to-day, and that is, the collecting of subscriptions for the relief of the distress in Ireland, remitting the money home, and other matters that come within the scope of a Committee's duty. I will now, with your permission, read out the names: His Excellency the Governor, His Excellency the Admiral and Family, Admiral Coori, His Excellency General DONOVAN, His Honour the Chief Justice, Sir JOHN SMAL Adamson, H.

I therefore, with the permission of His Excellency, propose that these gentlemen be elected as Committee.\n\nThe COLONIAL SECRETARY said he had great pleasure in seconding the resolution, and he thought the names must meet with general approval.\n\nThe Resolution was carried nem. con.\n\nThe Bishop—Ladies and Gentlemen, I beg to propose a vote of thanks to His Excellency for initiating this movement amongst us. There is a naturalness in its coming from His Excellency, as the country we are interested in at this moment is his own, but in the matter of benevolence we know neither country, nor sect, nor creed.—(Applause.) I am very sure that His Excellency would have been equally forward to initiate a similar movement had it been for any other country, for instance, our own poor country of Scotland, which, as we all know, is very productive of rocks, but is happily not subject to famines.—(Applause.)\n\nThe meeting then terminated.\n\n## SUBSCRIPTION LIST\n\n| Name | Amount |\n| --- | --- |\n| ... | ... |\n| Brought forward | $3,357.10 |\n| Ho Hong | 5.00 |\n| clay | 2.10 |\n| foot, P. | |\n| Barretto, E.

Pestonjee, that a second sum of £1,000 would that day be transmitted.\n\nIt was also unanimously resolved that His Excellency the Governor be requested to telegraph to the Lord Mayor of Dublin that £1,000 would that day be transmitted in a similar manner to his Lordship's Fund.\n\nHis Excellency then read an extract from a communication received by him to the effect that the distress in the South of Ireland was very severe, and the Honorary Secretary announced that subscriptions already amounted to about $12,000, when the Meeting separated.\n\nOn the 25th March, the Third Meeting of the Committee was held at Government House, when His Excellency the Governor stated that he had received the following telegrams in acknowledgement of remittances.\n\nFrom the Duchess of Marlborough, \"Irish ladies send grateful thanks.”\n\nFrom the Lord Mayor of Dublin, \"On Patrick's Day, Ireland thanks you.\"\n\nOn the question of the disposal of the Funds in hand, it was unanimously resolved, at the instance of the Chinese Subscribers, that the sum of £1,000 should be remitted to the Mayor of Cork, His Excellency Governor HENNESSY's native city.\n\nIt was further resolved that a third remittance of £1,000 should be sent to the Fund originated by the Duchess of MARLBOROUGH.\n\nIt was resolved that His Excellency be asked to allow the Honorary Secretary to publish in the Gazette an account of the origin and progress of the Fund, and a List of the Subscribers, to be supplemented in the weekly issue of the Gazette as further names were added.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-189 - Governor Hennessy - 1880 [7-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 306482, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-189 - Governor Hennessy - 1880 [7-9]", "page_number": 238, "title": "CO129-189 - Governor Hennessy - 1880 [7-9]", "content_text": "236\n\n13.

Since my return from leave of absence in England, the labelling of plants in the Gardens has been proceeded with as fast as circumstances permitted.\n\n16. Interchanges of plants and seeds have been actively carried on with various Gardens and correspondents in British Colonies, England, and other countries.\n\n17. The number of Plants sent out was 3,687, and of packets of Seeds 295 to 48 recipients, included in 68 consignments.\n\n18. The contributions were 903 Plants and 233 packets of Seeds from 31 different sources; of these the principal were:-\n\nAn HEEP, Compradore Messrs. BUTTERFIELD & SWIRE; Chinese Fibres.\n\nALDERTON, Capt.; choice ornamental Japanese plants and seeds of Pinus Massoniana.\n\nBENNAYS, L.

Thanks are particularly due to Messrs. GIBB, LIVINGSTON & Co., the Agents of the E. A. R. S. S. Company, for their great kindness in conveying plants and seeds free of cost, to Messrs. JARDINE MATHESON & Co., DOUGLAS LAPRAIK & Co., and the CANTON STEAMBOAT COMPANY for similar services; and also to the Captains and Officers of the many steamers for the care which has been bestowed on the various consignments.\n\n20. Rhagodia hastata, the \"salt bush\" of Australia, upon which cattle and sheep feed during droughts, has been introduced and planted on the hills for trial; it has grown vigorously during the dry season, and will probably be useful in future for fodder, which is much required by cow-keepers.\n\n21. Euchlaena luxurians, a new fodder grass, was received from Kew Gardens, and grown last year. Under cultivation it grew very rapidly and reached a height of 15 feet, but plants which were planted on the hill-side and left to themselves only attained 5 feet high and were yellow and sickly. I think it is unsuited for our soil.\n\n22. Another Shrub, indigenous to the Canaries and called \"Tagasaste” (Cytisus proliferus) is said to be much liked by goats and cattle. Seeds of it have been received from Kew Gardens and plants raised from them have just been planted on the hills.\n\n23. In consequence of the change announced by His Excellency the Governor in Council on November 6th, 1879, which restored the Botanical Department to independency and entirely disconnected it from the Survey Department, the business of this Department has been much facilitated and increased in usefulness. The working of the Tree Planting Establishment with Chinese assistants has given me much satisfaction.\n\n24. With the contemplated extension of usefulness which is desired from these Gardens, similar to the work done by other Botanical Gardens, I shall endeavour to accomplish, with the aid that is always accorded to institutions of this kind, the work that is expected from us. I would take this opportunity of inviting the aid of all persons interested in Botanical work. Persons travelling, or located in different parts of China, frequently have opportunities of obtaining information on vegetable products, and of collecting plants and seeds, which I should be pleased to receive so as to make these Gardens the \"head quarters of investigation, whether scientific or merely utilitarian, into Chinese Vegetation\" as suggested by Sir JOSEPH D. HOOKER.\n\n25. As showing the good which Botanic Gardens may do for the different British dependencies as well as for their own respective colonies or countries, I extract the following remarks from Sir JOSEPH D. HOOKER's Report for the year 1878 on the Royal Gardens, Kew:-\n\n\"Exchanges and correspondence are constantly maintained between Kew and the numerous Botanic Gardens which exist in British dependencies. This constant intercommunication is, on the one hand, indispensable to the maintenance and perfection of the Kew Collections, on the other hand, it is of great advantage in facilitating the exchange from one garden to another of the vegetable products of different parts of the Empire. I am anxious, however, to see the Botanic Gardens establish to a much greater extent than at present, a chain of independent interchanges, which would increase their own usefulness and enormously facilitate the work which is done at Kew.\n\nHILL, WALTER, Brisbane Botanic Gardens; seven Wardian cases containing plants of Acrostichum, A. alcicorne, Dendrobium Hilli, ferns, palms, and various useful and ornamental plants, and seeds Eucalyptus citriodora, fodder grasses, &c.\n\nHELLAND, ADOLPH, Foochow; bamboos \"mow cluck.\"\n\nHUMPHREYS, J. D.; seeds of trees, shrubs and annuals.\n\nJOHNSON, Capt.; orchids.\n\nKURODA, His Excellency, Japan; Japanese Conifers and Azaleas.\n\nMATSUGATA, His Excellency, Minister of the Interior, Japan; Valuable Japanese plants.\n\nMARIES, CHARLES; collection, Japanese plants and seeds.\n\nMURTON, H. J., Singapore Botanic Gardens; two Wardian cases, Garcinia Hamburyi, Willughbeia martabani, Bulbophyllum Beccarii, and valuable palms, ferns, and other plants and seeds.\n\n\"We have attempted, for example, to send plants to Fiji, but with but little success, on account of the great distance. Any particular plant could, however, be established in Ceylon with moderate difficulty, from thence it would be sent to Singapore and so on to Brisbane and Sydney, and finally to Fiji. At each successive stage, in case of a failure, the difficulty of renewing the attempt would be much smaller than if it were necessary to start afresh from Kew.\n\n\"I am the more led to make these remarks from having had my attention repeatedly drawn by applications made to Kew from residents in the colonies, to the fact that some of the most important functions of a colonial Botanic Garden are often apt to be lost sight of. Such institutions are obviously likely in most cases sooner or later to develop into the pleasure grounds of the towns and cities near which they are situated. But without disparaging their public usefulness in this respect, it is important that their primary function of promoting the botanical interests of their respective colonies should not be forgotten.\n\n\"That there is some risk of this happening, I can only assume from the constant applications made direct to Kew for information, seeds or plants which it is clearly the business of the Botanic Garden of the applicants' colony either to supply or procure.\n\n\"This leads to another point. No colonial garden can discharge its functions efficiently if the superintendent does not occasionally make journeys with a view to discovering new and interesting plants for the purpose of interchange with other Establishments. But the demands made upon his time often prevent the superintendent attending to this part of his duty, which is so important in keeping up an imperial system of exchange, besides promoting the interest of the garden under his charge, and varying the monotony of a life of unintelligent routine.\n\n\"I am afraid that this is sometimes overlooked by the local governments and managers; one superintendent is tied by meteorological observations, another by growing vegetables for sale. In every case where some obstacle of this kind is allowed to override the legitimate freedom of action of the superintendent, I am convinced the interests of his establishment suffer in a variety of ways, and that the policy is a short-sighted one.\"\n\nPOATE, F.

In this way, we examined ten men, occupying two hours in so doing. We annex notes of the evidence, from which we satisfied ourselves that, if the emigrants were not free and under no contract of service, it would be impossible for us to show that they were not. Under these circumstances, we thought we had sufficiently carried out our instructions, and were preparing to leave, when His Excellency's Minute of the 26th instant was received. This was shown to the Emigration Officer, who was also informed that it would be communicated to him in the usual official way.\n\nFREDERICK STEWART,\n\nActing Colonial Secretary.\n\nJOHN GERRARD,\n\nActing Registrar General.\n\nHongkong, 26th April, 1881.\n\nNOTES OF EVIDENCE TAKEN AT AN EXAMINATION OF EMIGRANTS\nON THE 26TH APRIL, 1881.\n\nI\n\nLAM CHIU-SAM (No. 657).---I am a gardener. I am going to Cooktown. I have paid my own passage; $32. No relatives with me.\n\nI have been a gardener in Shek-k'i. I have got no assistance from any one with my passage money.\n\nIt is my own savings. I have never been abroad before. I have been in Hongkong 17 days, living in the \"Tin-i-tong.\" I have paid 50 cents for board.\n\nI had about 26 taels when I left Shek-ki. I have been at Shek-k'i from my birth. I earned about $3 a month. I am married and have two children.\n\nWONG A-CHAN (No. 712).-My uncle wants me to go to Sydney. He lives there. I paid my own passage: that is, my mother gave me the money. I am going with a brother. There are four of us going from Pák-shek. This is the first time I have been abroad. I have to return no portion of my earnings to any one for my passage. I will send money to my mother. My uncle is a coolie in the On-cheung Hong in Sydney. I am going to dig gold. I was a coolie in a cuttle-fish shop in Pák-shek. I earned a dollar a month. I brought $45 with me to Hongkong. I have been 5 days here. I lived in the \"I-on,\" Praya West, with friends. I paid nothing. I paid $42 for my passage to Sydney.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-193 - Governor Hennessy - 1881 [5-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 309181, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-193 - Governor Hennessy - 1881 [5-7]", "page_number": 521, "title": "CO129-193 - Governor Hennessy - 1881 [5-7]", "content_text": "514\n\n1\n\nLee Yew,\n\n2\n\nLeo Kwong,\n\n36\n\n3\n\nHo Lok,\n\n4\n\nChan Tick,\n\n30\n\n5\n\nTso Che,\n\n6\n\nSom Cha,\n\n7\n\nLee Ou,\n\n36\n\n8\n\nLee Tsoong,\n\n9\n\nTso Kak,\n\n10\n\nTeo Wing,\n\nIl\n\nTso La,\n\n12\n\nYip Bing,\n\n13\n\nYip Sik,\n\n14\n\nYip Ma,\n\n15\n\nYip Choo,\n\n16\n\nYip Keng,\n\n17\n\nYip Him,\n\n18\n\nYip Chow,\n\n19\n\nYip Shing,\n\n20\n\nYip Lin,\n\n21\n\nYip Pha,\n\n22\n\nKuma Suey,\n\n23\n\nKum Wing,\n\n24\n\nKum Tsan,\n\n25\n\nKum Fook,\n\n26\n\nKum Wah,\n\n#\n\n27\n\nKum War,\n\n28\n\nKum See,\n\n29\n\nKum Shing,\n\n30\n\nChek Sow,\n\n31\n\nTso Kwong,\n\n32\n\nTao Lin,\n\n33\n\nTso Shee,\n\n. 34.\n\nTso Tsun,\n\n35\n\nTeo Keng,\n\n92022 239NARKA*ANKAAN828×8:85HAKANG\n\nLabourer,\n\nSheong Chuen, of Suu Ning,\n\n\"\n\n12\n\nGold Digger.\n\nSheong Chuen,\n\nof Poon Ü,\n\n\"\n\n>>\n\n32\n\n(4)\n\nLIST OF PASSENGERS\n\nOn board the steam-ship Glamis Castle, of the burden of 1,559 tons, of which is Master for the present voyage, R.

In this way, we examined ten men, occupying two hours in so doing. We annex notes of the evidence, from which we satisfied ourselves that, if the emigrants were not free and under no contract of service, it would be impossible for us to show that they were not.\n\nUnder these circumstances, we thought we had sufficiently carried out our instructions, and were preparing to leave, when His Excellency's Minute of the 26th instant was received. This was shown to the Emigration Officer, who was also informed that it would be communicated to him in the usual official way.\n\nFREDERICK STEWART,\nActing Colonial Secretary.\n\nJOIN GERRARD,\nActing Registrar General.\n\nHongkong, 26th April, 1881.\n\nNOTES OF EVIDENCE TAKEN AT AN EXAMINATION OF EMIGRANTS ON THE 26TH APRIL, 1881.\n\nLAM CHIU-SAM (No. 657).—\nI am a gardener. I am going to Cooktown. I have paid my own passage: $32. No relatives go with me. I have been a gardener in Shek-k'i. I have got no assistance from any one with my passage money. It is my own savings. I have never been abroad before. I have been in Hongkong 17 days, living in the “Tin-i-t'ong.” I have paid 50 cents for my board. I had about 26 taels when I left Shek-ki. I have been at Shek-k'i from birth. I earned about $3 a month. I am married and have two children.\n\nWONG A-CHAN (No. 712).—My uncle wants me to go to Sydney. He lives there. I paid my own passage: that is, my mother gave me the money. I am going with a brother. There are four of us going from Pák-shek. This is the first time I have been abroad. I have to return no portion of my earnings to any one for my passage. I will send money to my mother. My uncle is a coolie in the On-cheung Hong in Sydney. I am going to dig gold. I was a coolie in a cuttle-fish shop in Pák-shek. I earned a dollar a month. I brought $45 with me to Hongkong. I have been 5 days here. I lived in the \"I-on,\" Praya West, with friends. I paid nothing. I paid $42 for my passage to Sydney.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-193 - Governor Hennessy - 1881 [5-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 309351, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-194 - Governor Hennessy Administrator Tonnochy - 1881 [8-9]", "page_number": 12, "title": "CO129-194 - Governor Hennessy Administrator Tonnochy - 1881 [8-9]", "content_text": "Taken from the China mail of 24th March 1881.\n\nSUPREME COURT.\n\nIN CRIMINAL SESSIONS.- (Before His Lordship the Chief Justice, Sir John Smale.)\n\nThursday, March 24.\n\nPRISONER DISCHARGED.\n\nChun Lan (case No. 1), who was charged with unlawfully and by fraud enticing into the Colony a boy named Leung Awing for the purpose of selling him, but was found not guilty, was now discharged by proclamation.\n\nUNLAWFUL DETENTION OF A BOY.\n\nChung Achan, Chan Aman, Chan Acheung, Li Ayeung, and Lam A-Ng, were charged with unlawfully and by force detaining in this Colony one Chan Afai for the purpose of selling him (case No. 2). Three of the prisoners were convicted and were now sentenced, the other three were acquitted by the Jury.\n\nIn passing sentence his Lordship said :- You, Chan Aman, Chan Acheong, and Li Ayeung, have been found guilty of having unlawfully and by force detained within this Colony Chan Afai, a boy aged 15 years, for the purpose of selling him, on the 24th of January last. Three other prisoners were charged with having participated in the crime; although they have escaped, it is pretty clear that some other persons besides these prisoners took part in this crime. It seems that the boy, an apprentice in Canton, was met on the streets there by you, Chan Aman, and you enticed him to the steamer, where you, Li Ayeung, joined them, and all three proceeded to Hongkong for the purpose of selling him. Here the boy was kept confined in a house, shut in by you, Chan Acheong, and the boy was offered for sale to various persons at $17, and on his being subsequently offered for sale his crying attracted the pity of some humane Chinamen who informed the police. Here we have evidence of an awakening of public opinion to the enormity of kidnapping. It is mainly to this, it is not as I believe to any increase in the frequency of the crime that it is owing that these cases have been brought to the cognizance of the Courts. The sentence on each of you is that each of you be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for the term of two years.\n\nUNLAWFULLY ENTICING A BOY.\n\nIn case No. 4, Chan Alam and Lai Ayip were convicted of unlawfully and by fraud enticing into this Colony, a boy named Chan Ayun for the purpose of selling him.\n\nThe Chief Justice in pronouncing sentence said :- You, Chan Alam and Lai Ayip, have been found guilty of having unlawfully and fraudulently enticed into this Colony a boy eleven years old named Chan Ayun for the purpose of selling him on the 22nd Feb. 1881, and also that you did by fraud detain the same boy within the Colony for the purpose of selling him. In this case the boy was coming back to his home from school in the streets of Fatshan beyond Canton, when you Chan Alam his elder brother enticed him to a tea-house, where you gave him tea and then took him in a boat to another place where the second prisoner met you, and you both took the child to Canton and by steamer thence to Hongkong. Here you both through an associate offered the child for sale, but you then failed, and you Ayip took the boy in a boat for the purpose of taking him to a steamer starting for Singapore, but your conduct was so suspicious that Cheng Cho Yi, the boat-woman, took you back to the praya and gave you in charge to the police. At the Central Police Station your story was so plausible that you both got off; you persevered in your object and the child was offered for sale at $50 in a public manner in a public shop. Fortunately Wong Man In, one of the active agents of the Chinese Society for the suppression of kidnapping, was present, and he caused you to be arrested, and the guilt of each of you has been clearly proved. This case, whilst it exhibits the disgraceful attempt by a brother to sell a younger brother, presents two satisfactory facts, first that a Chinese boatwoman handed one of those prisoners to the police and that afterwards an agent for the Chinese Society to suppress this class of crime caused the arrest and conviction of these prisoners. These facts are indicative of the public mind tending to treat kidnapping as a crime against society calling for active suppression. The sentence of the Court on you, Chan Alam, is that you be kept in penal servitude for three years. The sentence of this Court on you, Lai Ayip, is that you be kept in penal servitude for three years.\n\nCRUEL ASSAULT ON A GIRL THE CHIEF JUSTICE ON DOMESTIC SLAVERY AND ITS RESULTS.\n\nLam Ayau, a married woman, was convicted on the 18th, of assaulting a girl named Chan Akun, thereby causing actual bodily harm.\n\nThe prisoner being called on for what she had to say, reaffirmed that she did not beat the girl. The marks that had been found on her body were the marks of some disease which the girl had. She admitted that the girl and she had not been on good terms. If she had beaten the child, she would not have spent so much money in curing her eyes. She spent a great deal of money in curing this girl's bad eyes.\n\nThe Chief Justice now sentenced the prisoner, and in doing so said :- You, Lam Ayau, have been convicted of having made an assault on, and having beaten and wounded Chan Aking, a little girl aged seven years, on divers days, especially on the 8th of February last, thereby occasioning to this young child actual bodily harm. It was proved that you bought this little child for $48, and you took her to live with you as your so-called servant. You treated her as your slave, an act which I unhesitatingly hold to be in itself a misdemeanour. Power engenders cruelty, and you habitually treated the child ill, and you gave way to bad passions and beat the child without mercy. It seems that through weakness the child wetted her bed in her sleep, and your passion passed your control; you took burning wood from the fire and burnt the child's body between the legs. The neighbours interposed and called in the police, and the child was taken to the Civil Hospital. Dr Marques examined the child at the Hospital on the 10th of February; he found two scars filled with matter on the front of the child's head, another big scar on the back of her head, matter there also; her left ear was bruised and the lobe of that ear divided; there was a swelling on the right side of the head, a scar on her left cheek, and there were marks of beating with a rattan on the back of the left hand and on the left ankle-joint and foot; the lower region of the abdomen and both the child's thighs were burnt; the child continued under his care in the hospital from 10th February to the day of trial, the 18th of March. She was in a weak state when she was admitted, and in Dr Marques' opinion it was from ill-treatment. Wicked cruelty is the natural result of the system of slavery, which it is said is found in every well-to-do home in Hongkong when the sense of power works on wicked minds. This disgusting, unwomanly cruelty must be punished very severely. The law has not contemplated such fiendish cruelty and has not provided a punishment sufficiently severe for the criminal. I now sentence you, Lam Ayau, to be kept in penal servitude for three years. If the law would have sanctioned a more severe punishment I would have subjected you to it.\n\nIn finally disposing of these three cases, with all their enormity, sources of satisfaction present themselves in the fact that in each of these cases it has been owing to the spontaneous indignation of Chinese men and women, that these crimes have been brought to the knowledge of the Police.\n\nPage 11", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-194 - Governor Hennessy Administrator Tonnochy - 1881 [8-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 309384, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-194 - Governor Hennessy Administrator Tonnochy - 1881 [8-9]", "page_number": 45, "title": "CO129-194 - Governor Hennessy Administrator Tonnochy - 1881 [8-9]", "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.

In England the tie of marriage most resembles a contract for the reciprocal enjoyment of personal society and services. It has been a much-disputed point with the modern jurists whether the Roman marriage should be considered a consensual contract of the nature of a sale, hire, partnership, or mandate, or whether it should be deemed a real contract analogous to a loan, deposit, or hypothes. The better opinion seems to be that it was no contract at all, but a mere transfer of property, or technically speaking a concurrence of two wills creating a *jus in rem*.\n\nFrom a juristical point of view the Chinese marriage would seem to be neither a contract nor a transfer, but rather a manumission, a double manumission enforced by no positive law, and, until concluded, involving no rights of the two manumitted ones as against the manumittors, but involving moral duties to carry out the agreement to manumit as between the two manumittors. The bride and bridegroom, as a general rule, have nothing whatever to say in the matter of their own matrimonial destiny. Proceedings are commenced by either the man's or the woman's family, generally the former, and at any age of the interested pair, but most commonly when the age of puberty has been reached. The first step is to seek the services of a *mei jên* or \"go-between,\" a female who is generally *bien majeure* rather than young, and who is frequently a friend of both families. Neither of these desiderata is, however, a *sine quâ non*, and, in some rare cases, the match-makers are even content to repose confidence in a professional \"go-between,\" whose standing is little above that of a common procuress. The male household having confided to this *mei jên* their aspirations, she takes an early opportunity of paying a visit to the family of the girl, and, asking to see the master, is invited into the court-yard (*tu Ping*), where, with very little ceremony, the subject is broached. Let us assume that the advances made are agreeable. The girl's friends, with Chinese caution, confine themselves to set phrases, such as \"Marriage is an affair of destiny, in which men have little to say;\" \"It appears that the fates have pointed to the son of your employer as a mate for our daughter, and this being the case, we must consult with our friends.\" After a little time, the girl's family send for the \"go-between\" and inform her of their favourable conclusion, upon which she busies herself with handing to each family the *pa laz* or - so to speak - \"baptismal register\" of either party. These are written on red paper, and contain a very few simple words. \"The male element (*ch'ien*), name; date of birth; age; year, month, day, and hour of birth,* etc., etc.\" After an interval, \n\n*The two cyclical (male and female) characters for each of the four latter dates, viz, the year, month, day and hour of birth, are more strictly called the *patsz*.-Ed. China Review.\n\n### NOTES AND QUERIES.\n\nwhich may be of months or years according to the age of the betrothed, the man's family send a message to the effect that they propose to send presents. A day is chosen for this, and a pair of gold bracelets, a pair of earrings and a few *tcls* in money are sent to the family of the girl. Of course these presents are more or less valuable according to the wealth of the parents. If the bride's friends receive these things there is no retreat: the money and jewels are regarded as earnest money to a bargain. It should here be mentioned that marriages never under any circumstances take place in the 1st month of the year: any other months are available, but the 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th are the favourite ones. When a day has been fixed on for the consummation of the nuptials, the ceremony of *sung hang* has to be gone through by the bridegroom. This takes place a day or two before the wedding morning, when bearers are sent with chests containing eatables for the delectation of the bride. This civility is reciprocated by another of *kui hsieh mao* on the part of the bride, who sends to her swain a pair of boots, an official hat, and some articles of furniture. Finally the bride's trousseau and outfit are sent over to the house of the bridegroom - *pan chung lien*----followed the next day by the bride herself. The bride, with her father, mother, brother and sisters, is supposed to pass the morning of her marriage in tears of sorrow at parting. She partakes of a light repast in the morning, and is robed in a dress of red, her features being concealed by a thick and impenetrable veil. At about eight in the morning she is placed in the hired *hua chiao*, or embroidered sedan-chair, which, also, is draped with red. The doors of her house are locked, and the chair is deposited in the court within. When she has been securely shut up, the gates are opened and the chair is received by the friends of the bridegroom, who are in waiting outside and who convey it to their own house to the sound of the flute, the cymbal, and the gong. Along the route \n\n## Page 63\n\ncrackers are fired off, and a storm of these greets the chair as it approaches the dwelling of the man. The chair is deposited in the court, and approached by two of the luckiest old women in the family, who open the door and invite the trembling girl to make the proper obeisances. These are made by both herself and her betrothed in the court, she remaining closely veiled all the time. The pair first kotow to Heaven and Earth, then to their ancestors, next to the parents, and finally to each other. The officious old ladies, discreet, lucky, and experienced, escort the girl to her apartments and cheer her up with words of encouragement, with cups of tea, and with even a cake or two. In a few moments the dread event of \"raising the veil\" takes place, *Fiuo kai-t'ou lo*; the bridegroom stepping in armed with a carpenter's foot-rule with which he twitches off the veil which covers his bride. He seats himself on the left side of the couch, with his betrothed on his right, there being a small table between them. No remarks are made on either side. The discreet old ladies next bring in two small cups of wine which are poured one into the other as a symbol of indissoluble union, and handed to the happy pair to drain. At this interesting juncture the old dames retire, upon which the bride turns her face round to the wall in such wise that it cannot be seen. The husband, for such he now is, probably divining that, what with the ceremonial clothes, the enforced modesty, and the general stiffness of the situation, things would be \"slow\" if he remained longer, now leaves his wife (*sin jen*) to her thoughts, and rejoins his friends outside. Once more the old ladies rush in and befriend the disconsolate girl, who sits in the same place until the male festivities are over, to a late hour in the night or an early one in the morning. During the day, for all the above takes place in the early morning, male and female friends are entertained, and the newly-married pair, in their best clothes, entertain their friends of ...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-202 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1882 [7-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 318196, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-202 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1882 [7-9]", "page_number": 448, "title": "CO129-202 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1882 [7-9]", "content_text": "The registered houses - and when any woman gives up her prostitute life she can have the photograph back or cancelled.

SIR GROBON PHILLIPPO, CHIEF JUSTIOR AND A SPECIAL JURY.\n\nLIBEL\n\nRobert Fraser-Smith, printer and publisher of the Hongkong Telegraph, was charged with publishing a false and defamatory libel on John Mo Neil Price, Surveyor-General of Hongkong. The article on which the charge was brought, and the inuendoes, were as follow:-\n\nIn Saturday's Gasette appear several Government notifications inviting tenders for certain local works uf some magnitade. The reclamation of Cauaoway Bay and the construction of s son wall, swing bridge, basin, and slips for launches, de, at the Kowlood Police Station, are undertakings of special import ance to the community, and will antall a very heavy expenditure of pablie fands. Why, then, does the custom prevail in the Colonial Secretary's office of confining the advertisements inviting public tenders for these works to the semi-privacy of the columns of the Government Gazette, a publication which is waldom seen outside the Government officos?\n\nSurely it is to the public interest to give these matters all the publicity possible! And it is evidently to the private interest of some person meaning thereby the said John MoNeil Pricolor persons to keep them secret are sas circumstances will allow. Why this should be the case we will not even venture to hazard an opinion; but it may interest Governor Bowen and Mr. W. H. Marsh to know that the tongue of public roport does not scruple to assert that these contracts kept dark,\" ark, manipulated and stranged to anit the devices certain officiele meaning thereby smong others the asid John McNeil Price who for the prosent shall be nameless. All contracts for publio works should be extensively advertised in the newspapers, both foreign and Chinese, and an indepoudont and reliable board of trustworthy heads of departments should be appointed to decide all ten- ders on their merita, without interference or advice from the chief of the particular department meaning thereby the the said John McNai! Price] under whose anapies the works are to be carried out. We are quite sure that the honourable the Surveyor-Gono (and would, it rea requested to do so) give.\n\nrai Hi zor a deal of valuable information on this! *nbject. Mr. Price is is reported to be a determined of the jabbery which is said to prevail o opponent extensively 's department. The subordinate members alinded to do not ot scruple to retaliate by as. serting sub rost that the honorable member likes to all the good things\" to his own cheek thereby that jobbery and corruption did Surveyor.Generate enbordinate members of the mote in fact prevall very extensively amongst the subor- dicate members of the Surreyor-General's depart ment, and that any opposition the said John McNeil Price might oppose to it was solely for of benefiting the purpose himself and of deceiving the public, and that the said John MoNeil Price was guilty of corrup›- tion and malvorsstion is his said office of Surveyor- General and was commonly believed and reported amongst his own subordinates of being so guilty.]\n\nThe defence put in was a simple plea of not guilty.\n\nMr. Francis, instructed by Messrs. Brereton, Wotton, and Deacon, appeared for the prosecu. tion. The defendant conduated his own case,\n\nThe jurors were Messrs. E. Burnie, L. Fase, D. Musto, C. T. Kuhlmann, B. B. D. Sayle, E. L. Wondia, and W. 8. Young.\n\nOn Mr. Sayle's name being osited Mr. Francis naked that Mr. Sayle might stand aside.\n\nThe defendant-Has the learned counsel the right to challenge, my lord?\n\nHis Lordship-Not without showing cause. Mr. Francis-I don't propose to show cause. It has been constantly done bere. On the last cosasion the defendant exercised the right.\n\nDefendant-I exercised no right.\n\nMr. Francis-I simply suggested it. I with- draw it.\n\nMr. Sayle then took his place in the box.\n\nMr. Francis, in opening the case, said that by the charge and plea of not guilty only two issues were seriously raised, namely, the nature of the paragraph, was it defamatory or was it not? and the other, was it published maliciously or on a lawful and justifiable vocation? He proposed to pat before them three classes of evidenes with reference to these two points. First, he would ask them to consider with him. line what by line the paragraph itself, effect it would have upon their own minds reading it for the first time, and what was the natural effect and tendency of the language used. He would ask them to say that the direct, simple, natural meaning of the language used was to injure and defame Mr. Price as muob as it was in the power of any man to do so, that nothing more defamatory ovuld be sail of him considering who he was aud the posi tion he occupied. With reference to the ques-; tion of malice two considerations arose one which was more purely a guastion of law, and that was whether or not, from the defamatory nature of the paragraph, they were not bound to infer malice? But in addition to that he proposed to show that this attack on Mr. Price's reputation did not stand alone, but was only one of a series extending over a very long period; that Mr. Price had been attack- ed by the defendant at all times, in all places, in all characters and capacities, as a mer. ber of the Government, as Surveyor-General, as a private individual; that Mr. Price had been exposed to ridicule, to contempt, to censures of every description, and that corrupt and vile motives had been imputed to him at every hand's turn. He would ask them to infer from the perusal of these articles, and the con- sideration of these facts, that the defendant was not actuated by any feeling of public spirit and genuine desire to anbserve only the public in- terest, but that he was animated by some personal spite, personal ill-will, whatever its origin, with reference to Mr. Price and all bis aotipas, The learned counsel then read the paragraph in question, commenting on it in detail, and contending that the natural and only in. ference to be drawn from it was that Mr. Price was guilty of corruption, that he was not fit to be entrusted with any share in the allotment of tendars for public works, and that he was interest- ed in keeping the advertisements for tendera dark in order that only bis own friends, who would deal liberally with him, might secure the con- tracts. As to the meaning of the word jobbery, he referred to a dictionary, in which the mean. ing was given as \"unfair means employed to secure some private end,\" and it was with this meaning, he contended, that the word was used by the defendant in reference to Mr. Price and the department of which he was the head. The paragraph conveyed the plain inference that the tenders were manipulated for Mr. Price's interest, and that if he was a deter.. mined opponent of all jobbery amongst the subordinates in his department it was only for the purpose of securing for himself all the benefit that was to he derived from that jobbery. The learned counsel then dwelt upon the injury such a libel was oal- culated to do to the subject of it. If a single one of these obarges, if ous single instance of bri- hery and corruption as Surveyor-General could be proved against Mr. Price, what would be bis position and his future? There would follow immediate expulsion from the Government ser. vice, inability ever again to hold office under the Crown, universal opprobrium and disgrace. Then in his professional capacity outside the public service could be expect to compete suo- cessfully with other sarveyors and architects and nivil engineers whose characters were un- blemished by such charges? What 'man having a building contract would entrust it to a man expelled from the public service for bribery and corruption, for making use of his position to fill his own pocket? If any one of these charges was true, and proved to be true, Mr. Price's career and whole futuro life must be utterly and irretrievably ruined. And quite apart from the truth or falsehood of these charges, what must be the natural effect of the publication and dissemination of auch stale. ments in Hongkong and elsewhere where the paper might circulate? Those who knew Mr. Price personally know that he was incapable of committing such offences as those charged against him, that he was above corruption, that his character stoed high and deservedly high. But it was not every one in the Colony who had the privilege of Mr. Price's acquaintance and who was able to say of his own knowledge that such charges were false and baseless. Mr. Price was unknown to many, amangat whom the paper circulated, and what opinion must strangers have of him and the public service in this Colony when they read such paragraphs as this? Were such paragraphs likely, or were they not, to injure Mr.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-213 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1883 [12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 323626, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-213 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1883 [12]", "page_number": 57, "title": "CO129-213 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1883 [12]", "content_text": "# OCR Proofread Text\n\nwritten of him in his public capacity as a public servant. He should also produce evidence to prove that the paragraph which formed the ground of this action was not written by him, and he was absent from the colony at the time it was written; that it appeared without his knowledge or consent. There was no malice, and he thought the law was that if no malice were made out, there was no case to go to the jury, but as the case had been brought forward he thought it was as well that it should be well ventilated. Though Mr Francis had put in a number of copies of the Hongkong Telegraph adversely criticising Mr. Price, he had omitted to put in very many that had spoken highly of him and of the works he had carried out. He had the copies of those papers, and should produce them presently. As to the constructions which were put upon the different parts of the paragraph in question by the prosecution, he contended that they were twisted in a manner to bear a meaning which no ordinary reader would put upon them; it was for the jury to consider only the meaning any ordinary person would put upon the paragraph in reading it. He then read through the whole paragraph in small sections, arguing that there was nothing of the least objectionable character excepting that sentence in which it stated the subordinates of the Surveyor-General's Department accused Mr. Price of wishing to appropriate \"all the good things to his own behoof.\" This might possibly be argued to be libellous to a private individual, though he should contest that; he had not said that Mr. Price appropriated any of the good things. It was only the publication of a report going round the Colony which it was to the interest of Mr. Price should be made known to him. He thought the interpretation which Mr. Francis had sought to put upon the use of the expression \"O tempora, O mores\" was a most strained one; the expression was a common one, and was in English simply \"Oh, the times, Oh, the manners,\" and it was a very appropriate thing when the subordinates were making such accusations against the heads of their departments. Mr. Francis had accused him of inventing his facts and writing upon his inventions, but he should prove to the jury that such was not the case. As to his complaint about Garden-road, it was well founded, and his second complaint was not as to its being made up, but to its being widened four or five feet all the way from Mr. Kennedy's stables to the Roman Catholic Chapel, which he considered to be an unnecessary waste of public money. There was nothing libellous about it, nor was there anything libellous about his comments on the Tytam Water Works, nor upon the Causeway Bay works, which were perfectly legitimate comments. As to the quarantine matter, all he had said was perfectly true, and he had only been endeavouring to secure the protection of the colony from a visitation of cholera.\n\nAs to the latter by Hudibras, which appeared in the Hongkong Telegraph, it was a stupid letter, and he had suffered a good deal of trouble in consequence of it, and he was sorry his learned friend had seen fit to introduce it into the case. Still he thought there was no offensive reference to Mr. Price in it. He had never had animus against Mr. Price, and he had stated when he appeared in the Police Court that the article was intended to bring no accusation against him, and as that was published in all three papers in the colony, Mr. Price could not be much injured by the statements. He said so when he first appeared as he thought it only fair to that gentleman to do so. It lay with the jury to decide whether the press of this colony was to be muzzled by the Government or by anybody else, and he contended the press was at perfect liberty to comment honestly on all matters of public interest without being laid open to prosecutions of this character. He thought the jury would see that it was to the public advantage that the press should be protected in the performance of the duties it owed to the public. In the exercise of that duty he was aware it had been necessary for him to offend men whom he privately esteemed, but he had sacrificed his personal feelings to his public duty. In a small place like Hongkong, where there were so many abuses, a newspaper could not be conducted in an independent manner without giving offence to many people. As to the meaning of the word \"jobbery,\" he read extracts from Macaulay's History of England, and other writers to show the sense in which it was used, and argued that jobbery and bribery were two distinct terms, and could not possibly be taken to have the same meaning. He also alluded to accusations of jobbery against Mr. Gladstone, by the London World, and other cases, to show that jobbing was a very common accusation to bring against even higher authorities than the Surveyor-General of a third-rate colony. The defendant then detailed a conversation which took place between him and a member of the Surveyor-General's Department sworn to in the evidence given below, to the effect that he should make something out of the Tytam Water Works, but that he would have to be careful as the Surveyor-General looked sharply after his subordinates, and liked to keep all the good things to his own cheek. It was therefore but right that he should publish the statement, when such things went abroad in the colony. He also alluded to a paragraph which appeared in the Hongkong Telegraph of the 26th May, 1882, stating that the Government contractors were complaining of not being paid for their work months after their contracts had been carried out, and advocating that they should be paid at once. He said he should prove that the contractors said they were not paid because they did not pay certain squeezes. He also put in a copy of the China Mail of the 20th February in which there was a paragraph alleging that government work was done at a cost of 50 per cent over that which private individuals paid for their work. As to the copies of his paper which spoke highly of the abilities of Mr. Price, he thought it hardly worth while to trouble the jury with them then.\n\nThe defendant, after an adjournment for lunch, addressed his Lordship on the legal aspect of the question, quoting a number of authorities on the privilege of the press. He submitted that the onus lay on the prosecutor to prove malice; and if he had not made that out to his Lordship's satisfaction, there would either be no case to go to the jury, or his Lordship would direct them to find a verdict of not guilty. He contended that this had not been done, and he asked his Lordship whether it would be necessary for him to go into the case further than that point.\n\nHis Lordship-I am afraid I cannot go with you, Mr. Fraser-Smith.\n\nThe defendant again addressed the jury, and asked them to dismiss from their minds anything they might have heard outside the Courts, such things as the bet he had heard of 100 to one that he would be sent to gaol for twelve months. In his criticisms, though he might have spoken hardly, he had spoken honestly, never from malice, and if he had erred it was merely from error of judgment. He had never slandered anyone unless it had been in what he considered the execution of his public duty. He alluded to the reasons the counsel for the prosecution had suggested for malice on his part, and energetically repudiated them; he had no envy of Mr. Price, and as to the suggestion that he had been paid to make these attacks-for Francis had suggested that he was sorry that the learned barrister should have made such an insinuation. The subject matter of the libel had not been written by him; he was at Macao when it was published, but as he was the editor of the paper, he was responsible for it, and it was on that account that the present criminal charge was brought against him. He intimated that he intended to call evidence to substantiate what he had said, including Mr. Price and Dr. Stewart. The defendant then applied that all witnesses should be requested to leave the court, including Mr. Price.\n\nHis Lordship said Mr. Price was the prosecutor, but the difficulty could be avoided by calling that gentleman first.\n\nMr. Price was then sworn and examined by the defendant. He said-I am Surveyor-General to this colony.\n\nDefendant-Are you aware of any personal feeling of malice on my part towards you?\n\nWitness-I have never given you any cause for malice.\n\nIs it not a fact that we have never met nor exchanged a word till this time?-It is a fact.\n\nBeing personal strangers to each other, can you give any reasonable explanation of the extraordinary malice your counsel ascribes to me?—I cannot, unless it arises from the fact that I have refused to admit your paper into my office, and have told you to discontinue sending it.\n\nYou have told me to discontinue sending it-I gave orders to my clerk to write to you regarding it.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-213 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1883 [12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 323628, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-213 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1883 [12]", "page_number": 59, "title": "CO129-213 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1883 [12]", "content_text": "事\n\nThe following letter was then read in court-! \n\nPublic Works Department, \n\n8th January, 1883. \n\nSIR, I have the honour to transmit to you the enclosed copy of a letter from the editor of the Hongkong Telegraph in reply to a request from me that he should discontinue sending his paper to this office.\n\nI find that the Hongkong Telegraph is supplied to me under the authority of O.

Fraser-Smith was then called and said he was manager and sub-editor of the Hongkong Telegraph, and in that capacity all copy for the paper passed through his hands, and he knew the names of the writers of the whole of it. The copy for the paragraph containing the alleged libel passed through his hands, and it was neither written nor dictated by the defendant, who was not in the colony at the time it was published.\n\nHe was acquainted with the circumstances which led to the writing of the paragraph; they were as follow :-A gentleman connected with the Surveyor-General's Office called in at the office of the Hongkong Telegraph one morning at about nine o'clock. Amongst other things this person and the defendant were speaking of the common events in the Colony, and touching the Tytam Waterworks his brother casually remarked to him, \"You will doubtless make a good thing out of these waterworks.\" The gentleman replied \"Oh I shall not be so much amiss, but I don't think I shall do so much either, as we are so very smartly looked after now, and Mr. Price likes to keep all the good things to his own cheek.\" It was that conversation which led to the writing and publishing of this paragraph.\n\nWitness had frequently had conversations with members of the Surveyor-General's Department about alleged irregularities; they were almost daily, for it was his business to meet people and sound them. He recollected the article of the 26th May 1882. It was written under the following circumstances :-A member of the Surveyor-General's Department called and asked him to interest himself by the paper to get certain outstanding accounts due to contractors to that department paid; he suggested that he (witness) should go round to ten or a dozen of the contractors and make a bargain with them that if he succeeded in getting in their accounts within a fortnight or some such time, they should pay him a percentage upon the amount to recoup him for his trouble. Witness said he would not undertake the work on those terms, but he would do it for nothing if the contractors would satisfy him that he was doing it upon a sure foundation.\n\nThe person took him to two of the contractors, who satisfied him that they had been waiting six or eight months for the payment of their accounts, and so he went no farther, but drew up a scheme for an article which the defendant wrote.\n\nThe next forenoon the person told witness the Acting Surveyor-General had been inquiring in the department as to who had given the information, and asked him not to disclose his source of information.\n\nThe next day this person told witness that Mr. Marsh, then Administrator, had written down to Mr. Bowdler to inquire whether the allegations contained in the paragraph were true, and that the accounts were then paid \"chop-chop.\"\n\nThe contractors and the Surveyor-General's man also told him that the reason the contractors had been kept waiting for their money was because they could not afford to give a gratuity to the man in charge of the pay department, and they were put off with flimsy excuses from day to day.\n\nHe did not recollect the name of the contractor who told him this, but he knew him, and had seen him since this matter, when he chin-chinned witness, and told him he was his very good friend for getting him his money; he also invited witness to go to his house, and get a box of cigars.\n\nWitness was about a good deal among the Chinese and European members of the community, among all of whom it was common talk that squeezing and bribery did exist in the Surveyor-General's Department.\n\nHe had very often heard it said, and he had good reasons for believing it existed.\n\nCross-examined by Mr. Francis-Witness was sub-editor and manager to the Hongkong Telegraph, and he also did some proof reading, acted as share reporter, and general collector of all the tittle-tattle in the colony.\n\nHe was a good deal in the streets, but he was in the habit of being absent from the office from 10 a.m. to six p.m.\n\nThe conversation with the gentleman from the Surveyor-General's Department occupied about a quarter of an hour; he came to see witness, but the defendant heard all the conversation which had been detailed; in fact it arose on his brother's question.\n\nIt was done quite naturally, he would not say promiscuously.\n\nMr. Francis-Who was the gentleman from the Surveyor-General's Department?\n\nWitness-That I decline to say.\n\nMr. Francis-That name must be given,\n\nHis Lordship-You must give the name now you have gone so far.\n\nWitness-It was Mr. Edward Rose, foreman of the Waterworks.\n\nMr. Francis-Had Mr. Rose anything in the world to do with the Tytam Waterworks?\n\nWitness-I don't know; excepting perhaps with the water.\n\nThat would be after it reached here?-Yes. But with the works in execution at Tytam, had he anything to do, you who know all the ins and outs of the Government Departments?\n\nI do not know all the ins and outs.\n\nDo you mean to say Mr. Rose made use of the words you have given ?--Yes.\n\nWill you oblige me with some of the names of the gentlemen in the Surveyor-General's Department with whom you have had conversations respecting the bribery in the department?\n\nWitness gave several names of members of the department, but denied having said he had received any information from them.\n\nMr. Francis appealed to his Lordship's notes.\n\nHis Lordship said he did not think the witness had said he had received any information.\n\nMr. Francis-Who was the person who came to you to induce you to call attention to the fact that the contractors had not been paid?\n\nWitness-Mr. Rose was the person.\n\nDid you ever take any trouble to inquire among the heads of departments as to the truth of these reports which you heard?\n\nWhich of them?\n\nTo the Surveyor-General.\n\nWitness-I did not think that necessary because I had got sufficient information from the contractor's own mouth.\n\nCan you give me the names of any of the gentlemen who have given you information as to squeezing in the Surveyor-General's Department?\n\nI did not say any one else had given me information of squeezing; I only said I had had conversation with them.\n\nWill you give me the names of some of those who have told you about squeezes?\n\n—Yes I can mention a dozen, or 30 or 40,\n\nConversation with nearly every one in the colony I suppose.\n\nWill you give us the names of two or three in connection with the Surveyor-General's Department?\n\n-I did not say I received any information of squeezes from anyone in the department.\n\nWell, let us have two or three other names.\n\nWitness-Mr. Thevenin, the wine merchant, for one.\n\nDid he give you any information?\n\n-I don't say information; we had some conversation.\n\nI don't see what you wish me to tell, but I will endeavour to answer your questions.\n\nWe were comparing the salaries of the members of the Surveyor-General's Department, and wondering how a person with $60 or $65 a month managed to pay $30 a month for rent, keep a family of seven or eight, and having always from common beer to the best champagne in his house, and do this without a margin behind.\n\nThat was the substance of it.\n\nIt was a problem in social economy we were trying to work out.\n\nAnd did you arrive at a satisfactory conclusion according to your own lights?\n\n-We arrived at the conclusion that the person did not pay for the things he got, otherwise he had means of getting money which were not legitimate.\n\nHave you any recollection of the date of this conversation with Mr. Rose about the Surveyor-General keeping all the good things to himself?\n\nPage 58", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-213 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1883 [12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 323630, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-213 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1883 [12]", "page_number": 61, "title": "CO129-213 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1883 [12]", "content_text": "60\n\n1.The\n\nDaily Press.\n\nHONGKONG, NOVEMBER 30TH, 1889.\n\nCRIMINAL SESSIONS.\n\nBEFORE THE HON. SIR GEORGE PHILLIPPO, CHIEF JUSTICE, AND A SPECIAL JURY.\n\nTHE LIBEL CHARGE.\n\nThe trial of Robert Fraser-Smith on a charge of libelling John McNeil Price, Surveyor-General of Hongkong, was continued.\n\nMr. Francis, instructed by Messrs. Brereton, Wotton, and Deacon, appeared for the prosecution. The defendant conducted his own case.\n\nThe jurors were Messrs. E. Burnie, H. Foes, D. Mosso, C. T. Kohlmann, B. B. D. Sayle, E. L. Woodin, and W. S. Young.\n\nThe prosecution now called rebutting evidence. A copy of the mail edition of the Telegraph of the 14th September was put in, in which the paragraph alleged to be libellous, and which appeared in the paper of the 3rd, was repeated, the object of this evidence being, Mr. Francis stated, to show that the publication was not a mere individual act of Mr. Stewart Fraser-Smith but that it was repeated in the mail edition some days later.\n\nEdward Rose was then called. He said—I am employed in the Surveyor-General's department, and have been so employed for three years and a half. I am overseer of the waterworks. As such I have had no connection whatever with the works now going on at Tytam. My duties are solely confined to the water from the Pokfulam reservoir, that which supplies the town. I have had nothing to do with the Tytam Water Works directly or indirectly. I do not remember ever having had any conversation with Mr. Robert Fraser-Smith or Mr. Stewart Fraser-Smith or both of them together on the subject of the Tytam Water Works. I never said I would make something out of those works. I never passed such a remark as that I might make something more but that too strict an eye was now kept upon me. I never stated that Mr. Price liked to keep the good things to his own cheek, to either of the brothers nor to anyone else. I have never had any conversation with either of the brothers that would afford any basis for the statement that I had said so. I live next door to Mr. Fraser-Smith's office in Pedder's Hill. I have never spoken to Mr. Robert Fraser-Smith or Mr. Stewart Fraser-Smith about delays in the payment of contractors in connection with the Survey Department. I have certainly not suggested to Mr. Stewart Fraser-Smith that if he wrote in the Hongkong Telegraph about the subject the contractors would be willing to pay him a percentage on their bills. I have never taken Mr. Stewart Fraser-Smith and introduced him to two or three of the contractors who were complaining of delay in the payment of their bills. Mr. Stewart Fraser-Smith has been at my place several times and generally had a drink of some kind. I have five children. He has had champagne in my house, not that he liked it very much, I think, from what he said. I think that was on the occasion of the birthday of one of my children, but I do not remember. He has had champagne in my house on several occasions. My salary and allowances are $300, my rent $23, and one of my rooms I have let for $10 up to within the last two months. I certainly do not live beyond my income. I have some money saved of my own. I had no idea my style of living and scale of expenditure were being discussed by Mr. Stewart Fraser-Smith.\n\nBy the defendant I swear I have never had any conversation with you or your brother about the Surveyor-General's department. I did not have some conversation with you about three weeks ago on our way to the Masonic Lodge. I did not express a hope that my name and that of the other foremen would not be introduced into this case. You said to me once, as I was passing, \"You fellows need not be afraid about this case,\" but I passed on and said nothing. I swear I have never had any conversation with you about the Surveyor-General's department. I swear I have never spoken to your brother about the subject of contractors not receiving their pay at the proper time. The statement made in the witness box yesterday that I took him to some of the contractors is false. I am positively certain I never received any squeezes from contractors. I overlooked works in Gough street about two years ago in connection with the waterworks. I think Mr. Andrew Millar was the contractor for that work. I do not know that I volunteered to collect some private accounts for Mr. Millar in connection with the laying of some piping in the houses in Gough street. I have not collected those accounts, and have not paid them to Mr. Millar. In the case of one bill a gentleman called me in and asked me to pay the money over to Mr. Millar, which I did.\n\nDefendant—Then you did collect them?\n\nHis Lordship—That is not collecting.\n\nDefendant—It is only a difference of terms; he says he received the money.\n\nHis Lordship said that if Mr. Millar had given the witness bills to collect, and he collected them, that would be collecting, but if one gentleman merely called him in and asked him to pay the money to Mr. Millar, that could not be called collecting.\n\nCross-examination continued—I did not collect the accounts and keep the money to myself. I do not remember receiving a bill from Millar for $13, on account of one of these houses in Gough street. It is very likely he may have given me a bill for $13. It is not likely I collected it or I would remember it, but I can swear I did not keep the money. I swear it is not a fact that I collected the money and paid him $10 and kept $3 for myself. I pay $28 rent including taxes. My five children are at school. The school expenses are $9. I pay my cook $5, I think, but my wife pays it and I do not know exactly. I have a small house boy whom I pay $2. I have no amah. I am allowed chair coolies by the Government. The whole of my household expenses amount to about $80. That includes everything. My show bill I suppose costs me about $30 a month. Beer and wine may cost $3 a month. My wife does all the washing herself very nearly, all except a white shirt or two. The washing may be a dollar and a half a month. I don't know about firewood; you might say a dollar for that. Other incidental expenses would not amount to much; there is nothing much left but lamp oil and that might cost 50 cents. I suppose clothing for myself and family might cost $100 per annum; but I think that is rather too much. I have not had a new suit of clothes for years. Before I went to the Surveyor-General's Department I was half proprietor of the Oriental Hotel. We did not compound with our creditors; we have paid everything off. We were not able to pay it off at the time.\n\nDefendant—You entered the Surveyor-General's Department then a poor man?\n\nWitness—The terms of my partnership did not compel me to bring in my private means. I had spent enough for my partner, and I did not bring in my private means.\n\nNow what is your salary?—$68.\n\nNo, that is not your salary.—I get $68 a month. And your allowance?—$15 for chair and $5 for my Fire Brigade work.\n\nAccording to the list you have given me, Mr. Rose, your monthly expenses, without any extraordinary expenses, such as doctor's bills amount to $86.50.—We don't pay for doctor or medicine; we have them allowed by the Government.\n\nWell, without any extras your expenses amount to $86.50, and your salary and allowances to $88; that would leave you a dollar and a half.\n\nHis Lordship—I don't see quite how you make that out. He got $10 a month for one of his rooms. How long have you let your room?—I have had pay for it the whole time I have been in Pedder's Hill up to the last two months.\n\nYou are a member of certain Masonic bodies in the colony?\n\nWhat are your fees per month?—$1.\n\nWhat is that for?—That is my subscription, just the same as your own.\n\nTo the United Service Lodge?—Yes.\n\nAnd what do you pay to the United Service Chapter?—30 cents a month, I think.\n\nYou are a frequent visitor to the Hongkong Hotel, are you not? You go there and play billiards?—No.\n\nYou never go there?—Oh yes, I go sometimes.\n\nWhat is your bill there?—I suppose I get two drinks a month; that is what I pay for.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-213 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1883 [12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 324234, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-214 - Public Offices & Others - 1883", "page_number": 266, "title": "CO129-214 - Public Offices & Others - 1883", "content_text": "944 16 Mai [CHAMBRE]\n\nLe traité de 1874 avait pour principal objet de donner au gouvernement d'Annam les moyens de maintenir, avec notre concours, l'ordre et la tranquillité dans ses Etats, notamment contre les brigands si connus sous le nom de Pavillons Noirs. Eh bien! messieurs, il est aujourd'hui établi, par les témoignages les plus certains, par l'aveu même des ministres du roi Ta-Duc, que c'est lui-même qui entretient à sa solde les Pavillons-Noirs, que nous étions chargés de l'aider à réprimer.\n\nDEBATS PARLEMENTAIRES\n\nressources commerciales, les voies de communication, l'esprit des populations, les complications possibles, où toutes les difficultés ont été présentées avec force, où toutes les objections ont été soulevées, ces discussions, il faut le reconnaître, donnent un singulier relief, une valeur bien remarquable, à des volontés si persistantes et si éclairées. (Très bien! très bien!)\n\nMais, messieurs, il faut reconnaître que si les volontés n'ont pas varié, il n'en a pas été de même de la politique. Là, il a régné une trop grande et une trop longue incertitude.\n\nLe traité de 1874 avait un autre objet, c'était d'établir la parfaite indépendance de l'Annam à l'égard de toute autre puissance. Il est avéré aujourd'hui, il est évident, il est patent que c'est le gouvernement d'Annam lui-même, que c'est le roi Ta-Duc qui a réveillé les prétentions assoupies de la Chine; qui entretient avec elle des manoeuvres, des intelligences dont le but est de faire naître entre elle et nous des démêlés qui n'ont absolument aucune raison d'être.\n\nDe là, messieurs, la situation dans laquelle nous nous trouvons, situation que M. Delafosse, aussi bien que M. Georges Perin, ont, avec grande raison, déclarée fausse, pénible, intolérable.\n\nQue sommes-nous au Tonkin? Sommes-nous les amis ou les adversaires du roi d'Annam? Sommes-nous des protecteurs ou bien des barbares avec lesquels on a traité par force et dont il faut se débarrasser à tout prix? Le traité de 1874 subsiste-t-il encore ou bien n'en reste-t-il que des lambeaux sans valeur? Voilà ce que l'on se demande dans tout l'Orient, ce qu'on se demande en Chine, ce qu'on se demande dans le royaume d'Annam. Voilà la question qu'on se pose en Europe où il règne une fâcheuse incertitude sur nos desseins, et où cette incertitude donne lieu à des commentaires, à des interprétations et à des prévisions qui ne sont pas, on est bien forcé d'en convenir, profitables à notre crédit.(Très bien très bien! et vifs applaudissements.)\n\nAussi, est-il arrivé ce qui devait arriver: c'est qu'au jour, nous avons été obligés, -ça a été le sentiment de la Chambre, lors qu'elle a voté le projet du mois de juillet 1881, ça a été aussi le sentiment du Gouvernement, de prendre enfin des mesures pour que notre intervention au Tonkin devint quelque peu efficace.\n\nVous savez, messieurs, ce qui est advenu. Le commandant Rivière est allé au Tonkin, à la tête d'une petite force, animé d'intentions pacifiques comme les ordres qu'il avait reçus. jusqu'au moment où, injurié, menacé, outragé dans des placards affichés jusque sur sa demeure, il a été obligé de se saisir par la force de la forteresse d'Hanoi, puis il l'a démantelée et, usant d'un procédé qui n'a jamais réussi avec ces populations, il l'a rendue. De là une nouvelle audace, un surcroît de provocations, d'injures et d'attaques, jusqu'au jour où, menacé de se voir couper les communications qu'il avait avec la mer, il a dû, il y a cinq ou six semaines, s'emparer de la forteresse de Nan-Dinh et repousser une attaque dirigée contre la forteresse de Hanoi. A l'heure qu'il est, nos garnisons maîtresses des points où elles étaient menacées comme de ceux dont elles ont cru devoir se saisir, sont en parfaite sûreté.\n\nMessieurs, le gouvernement d'Annam, malgré le traité de 1874, malgré des protestations dont il s'est toujours montré prodigue, malgré sa faiblesse militaire, est parvenu — et c'est pour lui un honneur auquel il ne s'attendait pas — à nous tenir en échec.\n\nL'amour propre blessé, qui est un ressort d'une singulière puissance chez ces peuples, ne l'oublions pas, la haine du barbare et le barbare c'est nous, ce sont tous les Européens, - le regret de voir échapper à sa puissance une population qu'on est accoutumé à pressurer, ce sont là, messieurs, des sentiments auxquels nous devions nous attendre; mais ces sentiments, quelque naturels qu'ils soient chez les Annamites, fort capables de manoeuvres hostiles, moins capables d'une action guerrière, ne suffisent pas à expliquer notre situation actuelle.\n\nCette situation, messieurs, s'explique par une autre cause: c'est que par suite des égards que le gouvernement français a cru devoir avoir pour un Etat faible, par suite de l'espérance qu'il a nourrie de le ramener, à force de patience, à l'exécution de ses engagements, par l'illusion qu'il a eue de croire qu'une politique de ménagements était de quelque action sur ces peuples, notre politique, il faut l'avouer, a manqué de décision et d'énergie. (Très bien! très bien!)\n\nJe dis, messieurs, notre politique, je ne dis pas la volonté du Parlement; car je vous prie de repasser dans vos souvenirs les différentes discussions qui ont eu lieu, soit ici et au Sénat, soit à l'Assemblée nationale à propos du Tonkin, et vous verrez que les Chambres n'ont jamais varié qu'elles ont montré dans cette question une volonté suivie, permanente. Et ces discussions, si brillantes, et dans lesquelles tout le monde reconnaîtra que M. Georges Perin a pris une part importante, ces discussions dans lesquelles tous les points de vue ont été examinés, le climat, les ressources commerciales, les voies de communication, l'esprit des populations, les complications possibles, où toutes les difficultés ont été présentées avec force, où toutes les objections ont été soulevées, ces discussions, il faut le reconnaître, donnent un singulier relief, une valeur bien remarquable, à des volontés si persistantes et si éclairées.\n\nCette population docile et laborieuse, mais incapable de gouvernement, supporte, tout le monde le sait, avec peine le joug annamite: elle n'a pas perdu le souvenir d'une indépendance qui n'a succombé qu'au commencement de ce siècle, ni d'une dynastie dont M. Delafosse nous invitons, tout à l'heure, à rechercher et dont il ne serait peut-être pas impossible en effet de trouver encore quelque représentant. Des insurrections fréquentes, continuelles, dont la dernière ne remonte pas plus loin que 1872, témoignent de l'antipathie profonde de ces populations pour les Annamites. Tout cela suffirait à expliquer comment nous y avons été, presque dès la première heure, accueillis comme des libérateurs, quand même on ne saurait pas que cette population est accablée par les exactions des mandarins, aussi bien que par les coups de main des brigands.\n\nAnnée 1883\n\npartie de la population, des 400,000 chrétiens, 800,000, selon d'autres évaluations...\n\nM. Paul Bert. 460,000, chiffre officiel de l'Univers.\n\nM. le ministre. ...qui n'ont peut-être pas été pour nous des auxiliaires aussi dévoués et aussi actifs qu'on l'a dit, mais, qu'en tous cas, la situation particulière qui leur est faite, l'interdit cruel dont ils sont frappés par les non-convertis, prédisposent à nous considérer comme des protecteurs. Voilà, messieurs, l'appui solide, presque indestructible que, si nous le voulions bien, nous trouverions au Tonkin.\n\nMais, messieurs, cet appui contribue à rendre notre situation plus fausse, car ces 10 millions d'hommes qui sollicitent notre action, notre protection, se demandent sans le comprendre, comment nous supportons les manoeuvres occultes, les attaques déguisées et quelquefois ouvertes des Annamites. Il est clair que cette situation ne saurait durer. Il faut absolument y mettre un terme.\n\nDÉBATS PARLEMENTAIRES\n\n262\n\n46 Mai\n\nCHAMBRE 945\n\nAnnée 1889\n\nTonkin, notre autorité n'aurait peut-être jamais été contestée dans la Cochinchine, mais nous pouvons élever contre la conduite du gouvernement d'Annam, malgré les violations, on peut le dire, presque innombrables du traité de 1874, malgré les circonstances qui ont décidé notre envoyé auprès de Ta-Duc à se retirer, nous avons voulu, nous croyons tenter une dernière démarche auprès de lui, et nous avons choisi pour cela un homme qui nous était désigné par sa connaissance approfondie du Tonkin, par le long séjour qu'il y a fait, par les qualités personnelles que nul ne lui conteste; nous n'avons vu, nous n'avons voulu voir que son intelligence, ses lumières, sa fermeté, son sang-froid.\n\nM. Georges Perin. Votre présence à Haï-Phong serait une marque de votre force.\n\nM. le ministre, Insuffisante!\n\nM. Georges Perin. Très suffisante.\n\nM. le ministre. Je ne doute en aucune façon que nous ne gardassions la Cochinchine; Par la retraite? Non, messieurs, personne, pas même M. Georges Perin, n'arrive à cette extrémité. Tout le monde sent que, en l'on peut varier sur les autres solutions, il y en a une qu'il faut absolument exclure; il faut l'écarter parce que ni l'intérêt, ni l'honneur, ni même la plus simple prudence ne nous permettent de nous y arrêter. (Très bien! très bien!)\n\nJe voudrais maintenant, en aussi peu de mots que possible, répondre à la question que m'a posée l'honorable M. Georges Perin et définir la portée et la signification du projet soumis à la Chambre.\n\nL'intérêt frappe tous les yeux et il est évident que si nous nous retirions du Tonkin, il y a, n'en doutez pas, des héritiers tout prêts... (Très bien! C'est cela! Applaudissements à gauche et au centre) qui épient le moment où, par je ne sais quel faux calcul, vous abandonneriez la situation que vous avez prise, (Très bien! très bien!)\n\nJe n'hésite pas, messieurs, à répéter, malgré les doutes exprimés par M. Georges Perin, que s'il s'agit bien en effet d'une expédition, il faut bien le reconnaître, il ne saurait être question d'une conquête, non! et par une raison bien simple que M. Georges Perin appréciera : — c'est qu'il n'y a rien à conquérir chez un peuple où tout le monde nous est ami, où nous n'avons d'adversaires que des fonctionnaires étrangers -car les mandarins annamites sont au Tonkin des fonctionnaires étrangers et leurs singuliers auxiliaires, les Pavillons noirs.\n\nNous n'avons rien à conquérir dans un pays où nous n'avons pas l'intention de nous annexer.\n\nNous n'entreprenons même pas, l'entreprise serait considérable, de faire la police sur toute l'étendue de Tonkin, sur les 86.000 kilomètres carrés dont vous parlait M. Georges Perin...\n\nEt, messieurs, quand même l'intérêt, l'honneur, ne vous commanderaient pas de rester au Tonkin, la plus simple prudence vous en ferait un devoir.\n\nIl n'y a aucun lien entre la Cochinchine et le Tonkin? M. Georges Perin ne le croit pas et l'autorité de M. l'amiral Jaureguiberry ne parviendrait pas à l'en convaincre.\n\nM. Georges Perin. Alors, vous n'exécuterez pas le traité de 1874?\n\nM. le ministre. Nous l'exécuterons, soyez-en sûr, parce que nous avons l'espérance et croyance fondée qu'il y a d'autres moyens, et de plus sûrs qu'une police faite dans les conditions où nous sommes placés actuellement, d'avoir raison du brigandage et de la piraterie. Nous sommes assurés que le brigandage et la piraterie diminueront promptement, au moment où l'on et l'autre ne seront plus favorisés et soldés par l'autorité elle-même. (Très bien! très bien!)\n\nNous avons même la pensée, et nous avons quelque raison de le dire, qu'une partie de ces brigands pourraient bien devenir quelque jour les auxiliaires et les instruments de notre police (Mouvements divers), et que cette transformation, qui s'est faite dans des pays plus avancés que le Tonkin, pourrait s'effectuer à peu de frais.\n\nLe protectorat n'est pas un fait nouveau; il est à peu près aussi ancien que l'histoire. Eh bien, il serait peut-être difficile de citer un grand cas où il ait eu ce caractère volontaire que M. Delafosse dit être de son essence.\n\nLa mission, messieurs, est difficile; car, vous le voyez, nos relations avec la cour de Hué ne sont pas bonnes. La cour de Hué est, on peut le dire, à notre égard, non pas sur un pied de guerre, mais sur un pied d'hostilité. Elle a été l'ouvrière de toutes les manoeuvres contre lesquelles nous avons eu à nous prémunir; c'est elle qui a réveillé les prétentions endormies de la Chine; et cependant nous avons cru qu'il était digne de nous, qu'il était conforme non seulement aux convenances, mais à la justice, avant de prendre en mains et par une manière qui doit être cette fois efficace, de régler sa politique intérieure de manière à éviter les complications. C'est là, messieurs, le vrai signe du protectorat, c'est par là qu'il se reconnaît, c'est par là que les auteurs, s'il faut parler des auteurs, le caractérisent, le définissent. Eh bien, ce caractère, je le trouve précisément dans l'article 3 du traité de 1874.\n\nLes droits inhérents au protectorat, indispensables pour maintenir l'ordre, pour prévenir les complications, pour exercer une tutelle effective, ces droits ne résultent donc pas, par voie de conséquence, du traité de 1874; ils y sont inscrits de la manière la plus explicite. Seulement, je dois bien reconnaître que la conduite du gouvernement de Hué a été telle, ses violations du traité de 1874 ont été si répétées et si continues que ce traité, si clair qu'il soit, ne l'est pas encore assez...\n\nUn membre à gauche. Il faut le refaire!\n\nM. le ministre. ...et il est certain - je vous le disais tout à l'heure que, si nous avions, en temps opportun, rappelé dès les premières violations le gouvernement d'Annam à l'accomplissement de ses engagements, c'est-à-dire au sentiment de sa faiblesse; si nous lui avions fait comprendre, d'une manière irréfragable, qu'un traité conclu avec la France ne pouvait pas rester lettre morte, nous aurions ainsi prévenu bien des difficultés.\n\nNous ne l'avons pas fait. Aussi nous sommes-nous trouvés dans la nécessité — il y a déjà assez longtemps, il y a plusieurs années -de demander un complément au traité de 1874; seulement, lorsque le Gouvernement s'est décidé à cette démarche, il était déjà trop tard; notre voix n'était plus écoutée à Hué; on y avait pris le parti de ne plus entendre à rien. On avait conçu l'espérance -malheureuse- assez fondée de nous fatiguer par des difficultés de toute espèce et de nous amener, de guerre lasse, à une retraite définitive.\n\nAussi, lorsque M. Reinhardt, notre envoyé à Hué, s'est présenté, porteur d'une convention complémentaire, on ne peut pas dire qu'il a montré son ordre et n'a rien obtenu, car il n'a pas eu à le montrer, il a été tenu à distance par les ministres, notamment par le ministre des finances de Ta-Duc, notre ennemi de tous les temps, et il n'est point parvenu à voir le souverain.\n\nVous savez, messieurs, ce qui est arrivé, il y a quelques semaines, lors des derniers incidents militaires du Tonkin. M. Reinhardt, impuissant depuis longtemps, menacé, exposé tous les jours à quelque injure qui eût grande importance...\n\nMessieurs, je ne sais pas si nous avons grande chance d'être cette fois mieux écoutés que nous ne l'avons été jusqu'à présent; peut-être cette démarche ne sera-t-elle pas mieux accueillie à Hué, que les précédentes, moins toutefois que l'échec du coup de main tenté sur la forteresse d'Hanoi, que la prise de Nam-Dinh, que la résolution à laquelle nous nous sommes arrêtés et que, j'espère, vous voudrez bien ratifier; à moins, dis-je, que cette attitude ne produise quelque impression sur l'esprit de Ta-Duc, et cela n'est pas impossible. Nous n'avons pas voulu, en tous cas, appuyer cette démarche par une force militaire; nous ne l'avons pas voulu, messieurs, parce qu'une action accomplie à Hué n'a qu'un très faible effet sur le Tonkin, où les mandarins annamites agissent à leur guise et souvent sans consulter leur souverain, tandis que toute action au Tonkin a son contre-coup et son retentissement immédiat à Hué. Nous ne l'avons pas voulu parce que, s'il fallait exercer quelque pression sur le gouvernement de Hué, nous avons, après tout, des moyens plus simples et plus sûrs de la faire sentir, étant en possession du Tonkin, c'est-à-dire du grenier de l'Annam. (Très bien! très bien!)\n\nNous ne l'avons pas voulu enfin, pour ne pas fournir prétexte à une accusation que nous repoussons; celle de vouloir porter atteinte à l'indépendance de l'Annam. (Rumeurs sur divers bancs.) Je dis l'indépendance, messieurs, parce que, si le protectorat, réduit dans quelque mesure la souveraineté, il réserve l'indépendance. Les preuves en seraient nombreuses; je vous prie de vous rappeler seulement l'article 2 du traité de 1815, qui plaçait les îles Ioniennes sous la protection immédiate du roi de la Grande-Bretagne. Cet article dit en termes formels: Les sept îles forment un Etat libre et indépendant. »\n\nUn membre à droite, Comme aujourd'hui la Tunisie!\n\nMessieurs, ce que nous voulons, ce que nous proposons, c'est d'affermir, de manière à la rendre incontestable et efficace, notre protectorat dans l'Annam, et tout particulièrement au Tonkin. Nous croyons qu'il suffira pour cela que nous en ayons la volonté, et que nous la manifestions de telle façon qu'il soit évident pour tout le monde que notre présence au Tonkin, au lieu d'être momentanée, que notre action, au lieu d'être intermittente et passagère, revêtent un caractère permanent et définitif.\n\nC'est là qu'il importe de rassurer nos amis et de prévenir les craintes de nos adversaires. Nous avons déjà donné des preuves de notre modération; nous en donnerons encore. Les populations du Tonkin, qui ont sollicité notre protection, savent que nous ne sommes pas des conquérants; elles savent que nous sommes des protecteurs. Elles s'abstiendront de toute velléité de résistance; ils s'en sont déjà abstenus parce qu'ils nous savent forts. Tout cela, messieurs, sans parler d'une autre vérité, s'il n'y avait jamais mis le pied pour cela que nous en ayons la volonté, et que nous la manifestions de telle façon qu'il soit évident pour tout le monde que notre présence au Tonkin, au lieu d'être momentanée, que notre action, au lieu d'être intermittente et passagère, revêtent un caractère permanent et définitif.\n\nM. le ministre.

Les intérêts de notre colonie cochinchinoise nous ont conduits à conclure avec l'empire d'Annam des traités ayant pour objet d'assurer la liberté des transactions commerciales, la sécurité des voies fluviales, maritimes et des routes de terre dans les régions voisines de nos possessions et appelées par leur situation à constituer leurs marchés naturels; au Cambodge, nous avons établi votre protectorat; au Tonkin, après avoir dû réprimer les déprédations des pirates, défendre par les armes la vie et les intérêts des courageux pionniers de notre commerce, et occuper une partie du pays, nous avons conclu en 1874, un traité qui nous a fait perdre les fruits d'une brillante et rapide occupation, mais qui du moins nous a assuré des droits définis, des titres en règle à faire valoir, des garanties pour la liberté des transactions commerciales, et, s'il n'avait été systématiquement violé par le gouvernement annamite, nous n'aurions pas à nous préoccuper aujourd'hui des moyens à employer pour maintenir l'ordre et sauvegarder la sécurité de notre commerce.\n\nLa population agricole et sédentaire est nombreuse; j'ai dit plus haut son caractère de passivité docile et malléable; sans être riche, elle a l'aisance que donne le travail et ses ressources s'accroîtraient rapidement si elle n'était pas pressurée par les exactions des mandarins annamites; si différente de la nôtre que soit sa civilisation, elle lui crée des besoins assurant un débouché à nos marchandises en échange des produits du sol. Enfin, le Tonkin, sillonné par des cours d'eau qui forment un réseau de routes fluviales, peut servir de voie de transit vers la riche province chinoise du Yunnan.\n\nC'est un pays d'avenir offrant de fécondes perspectives à la nation qui saura le mettre en valeur, et vous n'ignorez pas, messieurs, que nous ne sommes pas seuls à avoir cette conviction et que si nous commettions la faute d'abandonner notre position au Tonkin, nous ne tarderions pas à y être remplacés par d'autres. Malheureusement, les mandarins annamites, après avoir exercé les plus odieuses vengeances contre les Tonkinois qui nous avaient témoigné des sympathies, notamment contre les catholiques indigènes et contre nos missionnaires, se sont faits les protecteurs et les complices des pirates qu'ils s'étaient engagés à réprimer avec nous; ils ont favorisé leurs entreprises et fortifié leurs moyens d'action, à tel point qu'il est venu une heure où nous avons été contraints de nous départir de notre trop longue patience, de notre excessive longanimité, et de nous faire respecter par nos propres forces. C'est cet état de choses qui a rendu nécessaire l'acte de vigueur du commandant Rivière, l'an dernier, sur le fleuve de Hanoi et sa récente prise de possession de Nam-Dinh.\n\nDès lors, notre drapeau s'est trouvé engagé de nouveau, et il n'est que trop certain qu'après le premier abandon du Tonkin, lors de l'expédition de Garnier, une nouvelle retraite, regardée par les Annamites comme un signe de crainte ou de faiblesse, porterait la plus désastreuse atteinte à notre prestige dans l'extrême Orient; nous en ressentirions promptement les effets dans notre colonie de Cochinchine, limitrophe de l'Annam, comme le Tonkin, peuplée d'Annamites, aux yeux desquels notre conduite serait représentée comme le résultat d'un échec devant les forces de Ta-Duc. Il y a donc là un intérêt d'honneur national, une question de prestige et de dignité qui ne permettent pas d'hésitation. On peut regretter seulement que les mesures proposées aujourd'hui n'aient pas été adoptées plus tôt: car chaque jour de retard encourage les Annamites, leur donne l'espoir que nous reculerons et les détermine davantage à tenter de nous opposer une résistance.\n\nD'ailleurs, dans les limites prudentes que, d'après ses déclarations, le Gouvernement entend assigner à notre action, il n'y a pas à prévoir qu'elle doive rencontrer de bien sérieux obstacles; les brillants exploits de Francis Garnier, les récents succès du commandant Rivière attestent qu'en dépit des progrès de leur armement, les Annamites et les pirates chinois, leurs alliés, ne sont pas des adversaires redoutables au Tonkin, où la population indigène, douce et inerte, les regarde comme des oppresseurs et se réjouirait d'être affranchie de leur joug.\n\nTelles sont les considérations générales et d'ordre divers qui ont décidé votre commission à approuver l'opération projetée au Tonkin et à en reconnaître l'urgence.\n\nMais, avant de donner son approbation à l'article 1er du projet de loi, qui renferme le vote du crédit et le principe même de l'entreprise, elle a voulu être exactement renseignée sur les intentions du Gouvernement, sur les limites précises dans lesquelles il entend renfermer notre action militaire, sur les obstacles qu'il prévoit et, surtout, sur les dangers de complications qui, d'après certains bruits, pourraient résulter de notre expédition; M. le président du conseil, MM. les ministres des affaires étrangères et de la marine ont bien voulu se rendre à l'appel de la commission, et lui ont fourni les éclaircissements qu'elle a jugé devoir réclamer, notamment sur les points suivants:\n\nL'éventualité de difficultés avec d'autres puissances européennes: à cet égard, M. le ministre des affaires étrangères a fait observer qu'il ne s'agissait que de l'exécution, par l'Annam, du traité de 1874, qui n'a jamais soulevé aucune objection et dont les autres nations sont appelées à recueillir, comme nous, le bénéfice pour leur commerce; il ne saurait donc y avoir aucune cause ni aucun prétexte à des réclamations ou à un mécontentement de leur part.\n\nAnnée 1883\n\nLa souveraineté du roi d'Annam et son entière indépendance vis-à-vis de toute puissance étrangère quelle qu'elle soit. La Chine n'avait aucune revendication de son prétendu droit de suzeraineté; si, récemment, elle a tenté de formuler à ce sujet certaines prétentions, c'est à la suite des appels que lui a adressés Tu-Duc, qui espérait ainsi obtenir son appui pour se dérober à l'exécution des clauses du traité; la mauvaise humeur qu'elle a témoignée, ne paraît pas, du reste, l'avoir décidée à adopter des résolutions belliqueuses, et le danger d'une agression de ses forces régulières dans le Tonkin n'est pas à redouter; diverses raisons énoncées par le ministre inclinent à le démontrer.\n\nQuant au traité négocié par M. Bourée, la commission, après communication du texte, a unanimement reconnu avec le ministre qu'il renfermait des stipulations inacceptables. Puis elle a recueilli avec satisfaction l'assurance explicite que le rappel de notre envoyé à Pékin n'implique à aucun degré une rupture ou une tension de rapports avec le Celeste Empire: loin de là, et afin d'éviter toute apparence de refroidissement, l'honorable M. Challemel-Lacour a invité M. Bourée à demeurer à son poste jusqu'à l'arrivée de son successeur, et il vient d'appeler à notre légation en Chine un agent d'une expérience consommée des affaires de l'Orient, M. Tricou, ministre au Japon, qui a reçu l'ordre de se rendre immédiatement à Pékin, où il doit être actuellement arrivé; il lui a envoyé par les voies rapides des instructions conciliantes, lui recommandant de rassurer le gouvernement chinois sur la nature de notre action au Tonkin et de rechercher un terrain d'entente avec lui, sans admettre, bien entendu, une prétention quelconque de sa part à une suzeraineté sur l'Annam, mais en acceptant des pourparlers en vue d'arrangements commerciaux avantageux pour la Chine comme pour la France; le ministre a eu, en outre, un entretien dans le même esprit avec le représentant diplomatique de la cour de Pékin, qui n'a pas manifesté d'idées pouvant enlever l'espoir d'un accord.\n\nRenseignée sur ce côté grave de la question, la commission a également provoqué des éclaircissements du ministre sur la mission que remplit en ce moment à Hué, auprès de l'empereur d'Annam, M. de Kertangernot, M. Challemel-Lacour a exposé qu'avant d'agir au Tonkin pour y rétablir l'ordre et la sécurité, le gouvernement français avait voulu rappeler encore une fois l'empereur Tu-Duc au respect du traité de 1874, en le complétant par quelques dispositions nous offrant des garanties reconnues indispensables; si le souverain de l'Annam, en présence de notre ferme résolution de faire exécuter par nos forces le traité, renonçait au système de mauvaise foi, aux tentatives d'intrigues, à l'hostilité, tantôt sourde, tantôt déclarée, qu'il nous témoigne, nous nous entendrions avec lui sur l'exercice au Tonkin de notre contrôle, la répression des bandes des Pavillons noirs, l'établissement d'une police assurant la sécurité; en cas de refus de sa part, nous procéderions par nous-mêmes avec l'élément indigène local.\n\nLe danger d'une guerre ou d'une rupture avec la Chine sur ce point, la commission a désiré recevoir des explications développées, au sujet des dispositions de la cour de Pékin, de ses rapports avec l'Annam, de ses prétentions, des motifs pour lesquels le Gouvernement a cru devoir rappeler M. Bourée et rejeter le projet de traité qu'il avait négocié, la commission a même demandé à prendre connaissance du texte de ce projet de convention, dont lecture lui a été donnée à titre confidentiel; enfin, elle a voulu savoir quel est actuellement l'état de nos relations avec le Céleste Empire, et connaître les intentions du Gouvernement sur l'attitude qu'il compte prendre à l'égard du cabinet de Pékin.\n\nM. le ministre des affaires étrangères a fait ressortir qu'à l'époque de la conclusion du traité de 1874, la Chine n'avait aucune revendication de son prétendu droit de suzeraineté; si, récemment, elle a tenté de formuler à ce sujet certaines prétentions, c'est à la suite des appels que lui a adressés Tu-Duc, qui espérait ainsi obtenir son appui pour se dérober à l'exécution des clauses du traité; la mauvaise humeur qu'elle a témoignée, ne paraît pas, du reste, l'avoir décidée à adopter des résolutions belliqueuses, et le danger d'une agression de ses forces régulières dans le Tonkin n'est pas à redouter; diverses raisons énoncées par le ministre inclinent à le démontrer.\n\nNotre action renfermée dans ces limites ne peut donner lieu à des éventualités inquiétantes, et, quant aux dépenses qu'entraînerait l'occupation, des renseignements communiqués à la commission par M. le ministre de la marine établissent que le produit des impôts et des douanes, déjà suffisant pour couvrir les frais d'administration, s'augmentera rapidement, sans pressurer les populations, ni accroître leurs charges, lorsqu'une bonne gestion, un contrôle sérieux, auront fait disparaître les exactions, les dilapidations qui absorbent aujourd'hui une notable partie des ressources.\n\nA la suite de ces explications, M. Farinal Jauréguiberry a fait connaître aux ministres que l'approbation donnée à l'article 1 ne s'étendait pas à l'article 2, qui avait rencontré dans les bureaux des objections aussi vives que nombreuses, dont la commission était l'interprète fidèle.\n\nLa commission estime que cette disposition, qui est essentiellement du domaine du pouvoir exécutif, ne peut figurer dans un projet de loi et encore moins dans une demande de crédit; il y a là une confusion fâcheuse entre les attributions des deux pouvoirs législatif et exécutif; il est essentiel de ne pas laisser subsister dans le projet de loi cette anomalie. Subsidiairement, il importe de remarquer que si, plus tard, par suite de circonstances imprévues, le Gouvernement jugeait nécessaire de confier provisoirement, en vue d'une campagne, d'une opération militaire, l'autorité supérieure à un officier de terre ou de mer, il serait tenu d'en demander l'autorisation au Parlement.\n\nLe paragraphe second de cet article soulève également des objections: on a peine à comprendre la nomination d'un haut fonctionnaire faite sur la proposition de deux ministres; cela est contraire aux précédents usuels et aux règles administratives; cette nomination doit être faite sur la proposition du ministre compétent, avec l'assentiment, l'avis favorable du conseil des ministres, toujours consulté quand il s'agit de fonctionnaires d'un ordre aussi élevé.\n\nEnfin, la rédaction du troisième paragraphe est de nature à prêter à de fausses interprétations, assurément contraires aux intentions des ministres.\n\nLa commission serait donc disposée à supprimer l'article 2 et à réduire le projet de loi à l'article 1er et à l'article 3, qui ne lui paraît pas devoir soulever d'objection.\n\n2e section, service colonial, chapitre 9, service du Tonkin,\n\nIl sera pourvu au crédit ci-dessus au moyen des ressources générales du budget ordinaire de l'exercice 1883.\n\nArt. 2. -- Le ministre de la marine et des colonies rendra compte, chaque année, à partir du 31 décembre 1883, des opérations auxquelles donnera lieu le service du Tonkin, au moyen d'un rapport adressé au Président de la République, et distribué au Sénat et à la Chambre des députés.\n\nAucun document officiel, excepté un croquis teinté du Tonkin, ne nous a été mis sous les yeux. Je n'en accuse pas le Gouvernement, -- c'est peut-être la faute des circonstances -- je me borne à le constater.\n\nAinsi, dans le rapport, il est question de la violation du traité de 1874 par l'empereur d'Annam, et je n'ai aucune raison pour le contredire; mais aucun document officiel de nous a expliqué quelles avaient été ces violations; aucun document officiel ne nous a donné les motifs de la retraite de notre résident près la cour de Hué; aucun document officiel ne nous a fait connaître les instructions données au nouveau négociateur qui est en ce moment en route pour la baie de Tourane; aucun document officiel ne nous a fait connaître les instructions qui avaient été données à notre ministre à Pékin, et nous ne connaissons que par ce que nous en a dit le rapport qui, si j'ai bien entendu, nous apprend que ce document n'a été communiqué à la commission qu'à titre confidentiel, nous ne connaissons, dis-je, ni les termes, ni l'économie du traité ad referendum que le Gouvernement n'a pas cru devoir ratifier et qui a été négocié par notre ministre à Pékin.\n\nNon, non, la discussion immédiate! Messieurs, la commission, d'accord avec le Gouvernement, et l'urgence ayant été prononcée, demande la discussion immédiate.\n\nPlusieurs sénateurs à droite. Pas aujourd'hui, en tous cas, il faut avoir le temps de lire le rapport.\n\nM. le président. J'ai reçu une demande de discussion immédiate signée de vingt membres dont voici les noms: MM. Tertelin, Vigerosy, Ronjat, Claude, Griffe, Maësieiu du Biest, Bonnet, Saineave, Frézoul, Merlin, Mathey, Dupouy, Carnot, Scheurer-Kestner; Peyrat, Ribière, Le Bastard, Delacroix, Brugerolle, Cavinot.\n\nM. Lambert de Sainte-Croix. Je demande la parole.\n\nM. le rapporteur. Nous ne demandons pas la discussion immédiate à l'instant même.\n\nM. le président. La parole est à M. Lambert de Sainte-Croix.\n\nPlusieurs sénateurs à droite. Quel est l'avis de la commission des finances? (Bruit.)\n\nDans ces conditions, nous n'avons comme document officiel que le rapport qui vient de nous être lu; est-ce trop exiger que de demander au Sénat le temps de le lire et de l'étudier? (Rumeurs à gauche.)\n\nA droite. Oui! oui! très bien!\n\nM. Lambert de Sainte-Croix. Je commence d'ailleurs par vous rassurer: Si je sollicite la remise, ce n'est pas dans un intérêt personnel; je n'ai nullement la prétention de prendre part à un débat où me font également défaut et les lumières et les études; mais je crois qu'il est dans l'intérêt de tout le monde que ce débat ne paraisse pas précipité; je ne vois aucun péril à ce qu'il soit remis à demain.\n\nM. Lambert de Sainte-Croix. Messieurs, je ne viens pas m'opposer à la discussion immédiate, c'est-à-dire à ce que le Sénat ajourne les formalités, voulues par son règlement, d'impression et de distribution du rapport; je conviens seulement vous demander, si vous prononcez la discussion immédiate, de ne pas procéder aujourd'hui même à l'examen de cette grave question...\n\nJ'insiste donc pour le renvoi à demain. (Vive approbation à droite.) (Murmures prolongés à gauche.)\n\nM. Lambert de Sainte-Croix. On me dit: Pourquoi pas?\n\nM. le président du conseil et MM. les ministres des affaires étrangères et de la marine ont demandé le maintien de l'article 2, et se sont attachés à réfuter les objections présentées par la commission; ils n'ont pas admis les inconvénients de l'institution du commissaire civil par mesure législative; ils n'ont pas non plus reconnu ceux de la proposition par deux ministres, et ils ont cherché à démontrer que la rédaction du troisième paragraphe ne pouvait donner lieu à une fausse interprétation.\n\nMessieurs, c'est la première fois... (interruptions à gauche)... je ne dis pas au Sénat, mais dans un Parlement, que, lorsqu'il s'agit d'une question de cette importance qui, non seulement au point de vue de nos finances, mais encore de nos relations extérieures, peut avoir des conséquences graves, lorsqu'il s'agit, après tout, d'engager au loin l'or, le sang et l'honneur de la France... (Exclamations et rires sur les mêmes bancs.) Vous pouvez en rire, messieurs, moi, je n'en ris pas, et je n'en rirai jamais. On riait aussi au début de l'expédition du Mexique. (Nouvelles exclamations à gauche. Très bien! très bien! à droite.)\n\nIls se sont ensuite retirés, et la commission a procédé à une dernière délibération suivie du vote.\n\nA l'unanimité, elle a adopté l'article 1 et l'article 3, et, à la majorité, elle s'est prononcée pour la suppression du premier paragraphe de l'article 2, ce qui a entraîné le rejet du reste de l'article.\n\nEn conséquence, la commission a l'honneur de proposer l'adoption du projet de loi, réduit aux deux articles suivants:\n\nLorsqu'il s'agit, je le répète, d'une mesure de cette nature, il n'y a pas d'exemple qu'un Parlement ait procédé à la discussion immédiate, pour ainsi dire au pied levé. (Nouvelles marques d'approbation à droite.)\n\nMessieurs, j'ai écouté, pour ma part, avec beaucoup d'intérêt et d'attention le remarquable rapport qui vient de vous être lu.\n\nVoix nombreuses à gauche. Aux voix! aux voix!\n\nM. le président. Deux propositions se trouvant en présence, tendant l'une au renvoi à la prochaine séance, l'autre à la discussion immédiate, je mets aux voix, selon l'usage, le jour le plus éloigné.\n\n(Le renvoi à demain n'est pas prononcé.)\n\nM. le président. Il va être procédé à la discussion immédiate.\n\nM. Fournier (Indre-et-Loire). Je demande la parole.\n\nM. le président. La parole est à M. Fournier.\n\nM. Fournier (Indre-et-Loire). Messieurs, le traité signé le 15 mars 1874, entre la France et le roi d'Annam, reconnaît la souveraineté du royaume de l'Annam et son entière indépendance vis-à-vis de toute puissance étrangère quelle qu'elle soit. Il lui promet aide et assistance et s'engage à lui donner, sur sa demande et gratuitement, l'appui nécessaire pour maintenir dans ses états l'ordre et la tranquillité, pour le défendre contre toute attaque et pour détruire la piraterie qui désolait une partie des côtes du royaume.\n\nEst-ce que quelqu'un me démentira si je dis que ce document vaut, à coup sûr, la peine d'être lu et étudié?\n\nArt. 1er.- Il est ouvert au ministre de la marine et des colonies, au titre du budget ordinaire de l'exercice 1883, un crédit supplémentaire de 5,300,000 fr, qui sera classé à la 2e section, service colonial, chapitre 9, service du Tonkin.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-214 - Public Offices & Others - 1883.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 324284, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-214 - Public Offices & Others - 1883", "page_number": 316, "title": "CO129-214 - Public Offices & Others - 1883", "content_text": "1066 27 Mai (CHAMBRE) vernement, et c'est pour les constater et les affirmer plus énergiquement qu'elles avaient été rédigées en un texte spécial.\n\nC'est ce texte qui a disparu avec l'article 2 qui le contenait.\n\nIl est à remarquer que cet article n'a été ni accepté ni rejeté par le Sénat.

(Très bien ! très bien !)\n\nJ'ai donné l'ordre, en outre, d'envoyer au Tonkin un officier général des plus distingués de l'infanterie de marine, le général Brière de l'Isle, commandant militaire de Cochinchine. C'est lui qui va prendre le commandement supérieur des troupes du Tonkin.\n\nLa commission du Sénat a élevé, contre cette partie de la loi que vous avez votée, des critiques sur le mérite desquelles le Sénat n'a, en effet, pas eu à se prononcer, puisque l'article 2 a été retiré avant le vote.\n\nJ'ai ensuite prévenu M. Thomson qu'il devait envoyer au Tonkin toutes les troupes dont il peut disposer, en l'avertissant que le Bien-Hoa, qui fait le service ordinaire et qui arrivera le 20 juin, lui amènera 450 hommes de renfort, ce qui lui permet de disposer dès à présent de 450 hommes qu'il pourra envoyer immédiatement au Tonkin avec la certitude qu'ils seront remplacés à bref délai.\n\nA cours de la discussion qui a eu lieu devant l'autre Assemblée, le ministre a abandonné l'article 2, mais il l'a défendu contre les attaques mal fondées, du reste, dont il était l'objet, et il a reproduit les déclarations qui en faisaient l'objet.\n\nCes circonstances ont paru à l'unanimité de votre commission, moins une voix, constituer une garantie suffisante et de nature à permettre sans inconvénient de supprimer le texte de l'article 2, dont l'esprit subsiste avec toute son efficacité pratique. (Très bien ! très bien ! à gauche.)\n\nJe dois faire connaître à la Chambre que, depuis l'ouverture de la séance, la commission s'est réunie et a reçu de M. le ministre de la marine une communication qui doit être connue de tous.\n\nM.

La parole est à M. le ministre de la marine et des colonies.\n\nM. le ministre de la marine et des colonies. Messieurs, le Gouvernement a reçu ce matin une dépêche dont je vais vous donner lecture, et qui a été déposée hier à cinq heures du soir à Saigon ; elle m'est adressée par M. l'amiral Meyer, commandant la division navale de la Chine, en ce moment sur les côtes du Tonkin. Elle est ainsi conçue :\n\nJ'apprends à l'instant la nouvelle d'une sortie malheureuse à Hanoi. Commandant Rivière tué. Officier supérieur mortellement blessé. Renforts considérables indispensables. 14 hommes tués, 22 blessés dans les compagnies de débarquement.\n\nJe me rends à Haï-Phong pour diriger renforts et organiser défense.\n\nLe Gouvernement avait reçu, il y a huit jours, une dépêche qui lui annonçait que cette sortie devait avoir lieu. M. Rivière faisait savoir qu'entouré par de nombreuses bandes anamites qui envoyaient sur Hanoi des coups de fusil et des coups de canon, il croyait nécessaire de se dégager par une sortie. Il n'avait avec lui que 400 hommes, ce qui était insuffisant pour le lui permettre. C'est alors qu'il a demandé à l'amiral Meyer l'appui des compagnies de débarquement.\n\nLe commandant Rivière ne demandait ces compagnies que pour quelques jours, et il semblait complètement assuré du résultat.\n\nNous attendons en ce moment des renseignements complémentaires.\n\nLa dépêche, comme vous le voyez, est extrêmement brève.\n\nTelles sont les mesures qui ont pu être prises dès à présent.\n\nEn présence des événements qui viennent de s'accomplir, le Gouvernement vous demande, messieurs, de discuter immédiatement le projet de loi qui revient du Sénat et de l'adopter sans discussion. (Nombreuses marques d'assentiment.)\n\nM. Georges Perin. Je demande la parole.\n\nM. Jules Delafosse. Je demande la parole.\n\nM. le président. La parole est à M. Perin.\n\nM. Cuneo d'Ornano. Le Gouvernement n'a pas dit un mot de regret pour le commandant Rivière !\n\nM. le président. Ne prenez pas la parole sans l'avoir obtenue, monsieur Cuneo d'Ornano.\n\nM. Georges Perin. Messieurs, la triste nouvelle que M. le ministre de la marine vient de nous apporter relativement aux événements du Tonkin modifie sans doute la résolution de ceux de nos honorables collègues qui avaient cru devoir refuser le crédit, il y a quelques jours. (Applaudissements à gauche.)\n\nNotre liberté d'action, je l'estime, du moins quant à moi, n'est plus entière ; il ne s'agit plus en ce moment de savoir si nous devons occuper ou non le Tonkin.\n\nIl s'agit de tout autre chose : un devoir strict s'impose à la Chambre, c'est celui d'aller au secours des soldats français qui, à l'heure où je parle, sont engagés au Tonkin, et qui y seraient plus qu'engagés, qui seraient probablement perdus, si nous n'envoyions des troupes de renfort. (Nouveaux applaudissements à gauche.)\n\nJe crois que le Gouvernement comprendra la nécessité de faire toute diligence, et il ne faut pas qu'il rencontre d'obstacle du côté du Parlement.\n\nNous devons, messieurs, aller venger la mort du commandant Rivière et de ceux qui sont tombés vaillamment à ses côtés ; du commandant Rivière, officier distingué entre tous... (Applaudissements prolongés sur tous les bancs.)\n\nM. Haentjens. Le Gouvernement n'a pas eu un mot de sympathie pour les soldats tués. (C'est vrai à droite. — Murmures à gauche.)\n\nM. Georges Perin, se tournant vers la droite. Je suis surpris que mes honorables collègues de ce côté de la Chambre ne se contentent pas d'applaudir aux paroles que je viens de prononcer à propos du commandant Rivière et croient devoir reprocher au Gouvernement un silence... (Oui ! oui ! à droite) qui était le résultat de l'émotion bien naturelle...\n\nAnnée 1883\n\nVoix à gauche. C'est cela ! c'est évident !\n\nM. Georges Perin. Préoccupé de vous annoncer les graves et tristes événements qui viennent de se passer au Tonkin, très ému, je le répète, M. le ministre de la marine a négligé de reproduire ici l'éloge du commandant Rivière, éloge qui avait été déjà fait et par M. le ministre des affaires étrangères et par M. le ministre de la marine lui-même, éloge qui, d'ailleurs, était dans l'esprit de tous. Ne lui en faites pas un crime. (Applaudissements à gauche.)\n\nVoix à droite. C'était un devoir pour le Gouvernement de le faire.\n\nM. Georges Perin. Vraiment, dans ces circonstances, je crois qu'il est meilleur, qu'il est plus patriotique, permettez-moi de le dire, mes chers collègues, de nous unir tous (Très bien ! très bien !) pour déclarer qu'un grand devoir s'impose au Parlement : aller sans retard au secours de nos soldats en danger, venger la mort de ceux qui ont succombé et, entre tous, de cet officier de mérite, de cet homme distingué qui avait su, depuis quinze mois, au milieu des difficultés les plus grandes, sauvegarder notre situation au Tonkin, montrant dans l'accomplissement de sa tâche autant d'énergie que d'habileté et de prudence. Cette mort est, surtout à l'heure actuelle, une grande perte, et je la déplore profondément. (Applaudissements.)\n\nCeci dit, je n'ajouterai qu'un mot : c'est que ceux de mes honorables collègues qui n'ont pas voté primitivement le crédit et qui le voteront aujourd'hui ne le voteront pas parce que leur opinion se sera modifiée quant au fond. (Très bien à droite et sur quelques bancs à gauche)\n\nPour moi, messieurs, mon opinion est la même, et les malheureux événements qui viennent de se produire me donnent, hélas ! raison plus tôt que je ne croyais. (Réclamations sur quelques bancs à gauche.)\n\nJ'estime plus que jamais que l'expédition au Tonkin est plus complexe, plus difficile qu'on ne paraissait le croire, mais je me garde bien de revenir sur cette question.\n\nIl s'agit en ce moment de secourir nos soldats, de dégager notre pavillon. Sur ce terrain, il ne saurait y avoir de désaccord entre les membres de cette Chambre et je suis convaincu que tous nous voterons le crédit demandé. (Vifs applaudissements.)\n\nM. le président. La parole est à M. Jules Delafosse. (Exclamations à gauche. — Parlez ! parlez ! à droite.)\n\nM. Jules Delafosse. Messieurs, j'ai combattu, de concert avec l'honorable M.

Après le bombardement des forts de l'embouchure de la rivière à Thuapan et dans les environs, bombardement qui avait duré pendant les journées des 18 et 19, le 20 fut employé à enlever les forts du Nord et ceux de l'intérieur de la baie.\n\nDès le 20, au soir, les Annamites demandèrent la cessation des hostilités après avoir combattu avec un courage remarquable et digne d'un meilleur succès. La nuit du 20 au 21, les forts du Sud étaient évacués sous les yeux des envoyés de Hué qui constataient leur occupation, sans coup férir, par les Français. Nos pertes étaient à un matelot du Bazard, apparemment blessé, et à un officier, M. de Cairsoo, frappé d'une balle à la cuisse.\n\nLes Français, après le combat, durent donner la sépulture à 700 morts annamites. Ils évaluent à environ 400 ceux dont ils ont vu les tombes élevées dans les rizières; des cadavres nombreux sont, en outre, charriés par la mer et le Chateau-Renault en a trouvé encore à Tourne. Les Annamites avouent 1,300 morts. Il faut, en outre, compter 300 prisonniers.\n\nLors des négociations, les envoyés de Hué déclarèrent que deux faits surtout les avaient vivement frappés : l'ardeur mise par les Brailleurs annamites à combattre dans les rangs français et le débarquement des coolies venus de Saigon pour faire les charrois, fait dont ils ont conclu que toute la population était avec nous, ce qui leur a fait perdre tout espoir.\n\nLes clauses des préliminaires de paix acceptés de part et d'autre sont des plus nettes et des plus précises.\n\nLes Annamites voulaient bien nous abandonner en toute propriété le Tonkin, dans les mêmes conditions que la Basse-Cochinchine, et insistaient même pour le faire à la condition que nous renoncerions à toute prétention sur Raé et l'Annam.\n\nD'un commun accord, les deux représentants de la France refusèrent, et il fut stipulé qu'au Tonkin nous aurions la haute direction de l'administration, la suzeraineté de l'Annam étant nominalement maintenue et, pour nous servir de l'expression même du texte officiel, que la France ferait ce qu'elle voudrait au Tonkin.\n\nEn Annam, la situation est autre. Le représentant de la France y aura le contrôle notamment des finances, de la justice, des travaux publics; surveillera le recrutement et la composition de l'armée; en outre, dirigera directement les douanes établies par la France seule dans les ports ouverts et représentera seul l'Annam vis-à-vis des puissances étrangères.\n\nA ce sujet, un incident se produisit : les mandarins demandèrent qu'une mention spéciale fût faite relativement à la situation de l'Annam vis-à-vis de la Chine, et, sur leur demande expresse, il fut inséré une clause spécifiant que ni la France ni l'Annam ne reconnaissaient à la Chine aucun droit de suzeraineté ou de protection.\n\nLe courrier nous apporte des nouvelles du 20 août pour le Tonkin et du 4 septembre pour la Cochinchine.\n\nVoici d'abord des détails sur le combat des 13 et 16 août :\n\nLe 15 août, à trois heures du matin, trois colonnes de 600 hommes chacune partirent avec de l'artillerie en proportion. La colonne de droite était commandée par le lieutenant-colonel Bichot, celle de gauche par le lieutenant-colonel Revillon, et celle du centre par le lieutenant-colonel Coronnat, le tout sous les ordres du général Bouët.\n\nLe combat s'engagea dès que l'on fut en vue. C'était sur le champ de bataille du 1er mai. Les cinq villages fortifiés dont le feu avait été si funeste à la colonne du commandant Rivière furent pris maison par maison; une grande partie des Chinois qui les occupaient furent tués ou brûlés dans les cases incendiées par nos obus.\n\nLes abords du Phu-Hai ou notre possession, le fort lui-même fut moins de résistance; on y trouva plusieurs canons et des drapeaux.\n\nRepoussant plus loin sur la route de Son-Tay, on se trouva arrêté par un immense ouvrage en terre, flanqué de retranchements et de redoutes en grand nombre.\n\nLa France s'engage à défendre l'Annam contre toute résurrection de ces antiques prétentions de la Chine.\n\nLes mandarins ont demandé que, au cas où le vinh phuoc, le chef des Pavillons-Noirs, tomberait entre les mains des Français, on le fit exécuter, non au lieu de sa capture, mais à Hué même, sous les yeux des grands mandarins et qu'on fit en même temps exécuter un certain nombre de ses soldats. C'est, d'après eux, le seul moyen de prouver à l'Annam de renoncer à se servir de pareils auxiliaires.\n\nLe principe de l'ouverture des ports au commerce n'est pas étendu d'une manière générale à toute la côte annamite. Les ports à ouvrir seront nominativement désignés au traité. Jusqu'à présent, c'est le cap Padaran, nouvelle frontière de la Basse-Cochinchine et la frontière tonkinoise, il est seulement stipulé l'ouverture des ports de Quinhon, Tourane et Huon Dat; mais, comme ce point de détail est réservé pour le traité définitif, nous espérons qu'on n'omettra pas de stipuler aussi l'ouverture des ports de Camrong, Hon-Khu, Tai-Quit et Con-mong, ce dernier surtout qui rivalise avec Quinhon pour le trafic du Binh-dinh et l'exportation du sel.\n\nLe lendemain, 16 août, on fut forcé de battre en retraite, non devant les Chinois, mais devant l'eau qui envahissait nos positions de toutes parts. Les digues du fleuve étaient rompues et force nous fut de rentrer à Hanoi, sauf la colonne du lieutenant-colonel Bichot, qui se replia et se fortifia dans une grande pagode dite des Quatre-Colonnes, cette pagode se trouve sur le fleuve et commande la route de Son-Tay qui fait un coude à cet endroit et qu'on avait conquise sur l'ennemi la veille.\n\nNos soldats rentrèrent à Hanoi, clairons en tête, avec les pavillons pris à l'ennemi, et aux acclamations de la population annamite attentive.\n\nTous puissants, les souverains de Hué eurent devoir détacher de la vice-royauté tonkinoise une partie de l'ancien territoire pour faire une province royale partie intégrante de l'empire.\n\nLes négociateurs français firent remarquer que le protectorat français devait porter sur tout l'ancien royaume du Tonkin et qu'il était essentiel de revenir à l'ancienne frontière naturelle. Cette clause fut acceptée après de longues hésitations.\n\nCe succès a été d'un grand effet; nos troupes ont été admirables, officiers comme soldats; ces derniers, presque tous des jeunes gens qui ont à peine quelques mois de service, ont essuyé le feu terrible des Chinois sans broncher.\n\nLes trois colonnes ont rivalisé de bravoure; celles de droite et de gauche marchèrent l'une sur la route de Son-Tay, l'autre sur la digue, tandis que celle du centre traversait les rizières avec de l'eau jusqu'au ventre; elle a fait 10 kilomètres et est tombée à l'improviste sur l'ennemi, qui ne la voyait pas et qui concentrait toutes ses forces contre les deux autres colonnes, ne s'attendant pas à voir les Français arriver à travers la plaine inondée et sous une pluie de balles.\n\nLes tirailleurs annamites se sont très vaillamment comportés; les Drapeaux-Jaunes de même, mais ils tiennent moins bien feu que les tirailleurs; l'artillerie a été très éprouvée, elle a fait beaucoup de mal à l'ennemi.\n\nLes pertes, quoique sérieuses, sont minimes en comparaison de celles de l'ennemi évaluées à 350 morts et à environ 900 blessés, surtout quand on songe qu'il a fallu prendre plusieurs villages fortifiés et des redoutes défendues par des forces considérables.\n\nUn différend surgit encore au sujet de la frontière qui doit séparer l'Annam du Tonkin. Autrefois, lorsque le Tonkin était constitué en un royaume séparé, il s'étendait jusqu'à la ligne frontière de Toung-Khêa, comprenant ainsi en dehors de la province de Nghe-An, une partie de celle de Quan-Dinh. Après le renversement des Chua et l'annexion du Tonkin à l'empire annamite, quoique la frontière naturelle formée par les montagnes de Voung-Khoua eût été renforcée par une muraille et des fortifications très puissantes, les souverains de Hué eurent devoir de détacher de la vice-royauté tonkinoise une partie de l'ancien territoire pour faire une province royale partie intégrante de l'empire.\n\nTu-Duc, avant sa mort, avait désigné pour son successeur Duc-Duc, qui fut aussitôt reconnu roi, mais ne régna que pendant deux jours. En effet, à l'expiration de ce délai, la ba-hoang-tai, reine-mère du feu roi Tu-Duc, exposa au trien-dinh (Conseil des rites) et surtout le besoin de créer de bonnes relations avec la France exigèrent la déposition de Duc-Duc et le choix comme souverain, de Tan-Lan, fils adoptif de la reine mère et par suite frère adoptif de Tu-Duc.\n\nLes membres du trien-dinh acceptèrent ce projet, déclarèrent Duc-Duc déchu et Tan-Lan prit pour chiffre de règne la dénomination de Hiep-Hoa (concorde et paix). Ce prince est âgé de trente-sept ans et a toujours montré une certaine tendance vers le parti français. Tout fait donc présumer qu'il sera facile de s'entendre avec lui.\n\nUn mot enfin à propos du sort réservé probablement à la province du Binh-Thuan, qui est annexée à la Basse-Cochinchine. Il est bien certain que son administration devra être modifiée sur celle de notre colonie, mais cette assimilation ne se fera que progressivement et non par une suppression brusque des institutions établies dans cette province. C'est, dit-on, M. l'administrateur actuel de l'arrondissement de Baria, qui sera chargé de cette mission.\n\nUne autre lettre expédiée d'Haiphong le 31 août porte ce qui suit:\n\n« Aucun mouvement nouveau n'a eu lieu depuis l'importante affaire des 15 et 18 août derniers, dirigée par le général Bouët; les renseignements que le courrier de Saigon a apportés changent sensiblement le caractère que les premières versions vagues et contradictoires venues de Hong Kong avaient donné à cette affaire; ce n'a pas été, cela est réel, un succès dans l'acception ordinaire du mot, puisque le but poursuivi n'a été atteint qu'en partie, et que le gros des troupes du général Bouët a dû rentrer à Hanoi; mais ça n'a pas été non plus un échec, encore bien moins une défaite, comme le feraient croire les récits de certains journaux anglais, puisque les Pavillons-Noirs ont subi des pertes bien supérieures aux nôtres, qu'ils ont dû évacuer plusieurs de leurs positions, et que la pagode des Quatre-Colonnes, point stratégique très important, est restée entre vos mains. La retraite des diverses colonnes du général Bouët s'est, du reste, effectuée dans l'ordre le plus parfait, puisqu'elles ont toutes ramené leurs blessés et leurs morts.\n\nOn télégraphie de Toulon, le 12 octobre : le transport la Corrèze est parti aujourd'hui pour le Tonkin, ayant à bord 940 passagers, hommes d'équipage et au matériel de guerre considérable.\n\nInclosure\n\nin Lad hymn 20707\n\nexx.\n\nExtract\n\nJournal foret", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-214 - Public Offices & Others - 1883.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 325025, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-215 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1884 [1-4]", "page_number": 285, "title": "CO129-215 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1884 [1-4]", "content_text": "Stewarts Reply, and the speeches of \n\nDr Bokai, of the Chief \n\nof the Chief Justice, and \n\nof.) \n\nof Mr. Buckeley Johnson, will be \n\nfound to contain interesting \n\nmatter. \n\nI have the honour to be \n\nMy Lord, \n\nYour Lordship's Most Obedient \n\nHumble Servant, \n\n5.

Your long connection with the School, extending over a period of more than twenty years, has made you the benefactor of thousands of youths in this colony and elsewhere, many of whom owe their success in life mainly to your liberal education, wise discipline, and careful training. As Head Master you have laboured long and perseveringly for the school, sparing neither time nor pains, and it must be gratifying to you to witness the satisfactory results of your arduous labours in seeing so many of your old pupils occupying numerous important and useful positions in this colony and other parts of the world. (Applause.) It is no less gratifying to you, I am sure, to meet such a number of them this afternoon in this old school-room where we have so often met before, and to receive from them their personal assurance of their deep appreciation and grateful acknowledgment of your valuable services, rendered to them and to their fellow countrymen. I assure you it gives us all very great pleasure to meet you here to-day, and you will do us much honour and favour by accepting from us the small token of regard and affection we now present to you in the shape of a scholarship founded in your name. May you long be preserved to the service of your country, and to the welfare and prosperity of this Colony. (Applause.) I now crave leave to read the address:— \n\nHongkong, February, 1884. The Honourable FREDERICK STEWART, LL.D., late Head Master of the Government Central School, Hongkong, \n\nDEAR SIR,—There has been a general and spontaneous feeling amongst your old pupils that some means should \n\nbe devised to express in some measure their grateful and profound esteem for yourself personally, and your most valuable services and work in connection with education in this Colony during a period of more than twenty years. The scope and value of your past services can only be adequately estimated or properly appreciated by those whom you sought to benefit by your learning, high personal example, constant kindness, indefatigable energy and wise discipline, and so we, who have been among the fortunate recipients of the fruits of your labour, wish to express our grateful remembrance and appreciative recognition in a becoming manner. \n\nThis is our object in coming before you to-day, and it is our desire in the first place, to give expression to the deep feelings of personal regard and high esteem which we in common with those of your pupils who are prevented by unavoidable causes from signing the address \n\nEnclosure \n\nC O. \n\n4283 \n\nROD \n\nor being present to-day, cherish towards you, and, secondly, to ask your permission to the founding of a scholarship at the Government Central School to be called \"The Stewart Scholarship,\" the funds necessary to endowing it having been subscribed for this express purpose by late pupils and scholars, who saw in this a way to give you a slight token of the honour and affectionate remembrance in which your distinguished connection with the School as Head Master for more than twenty years is held by them. We remain, yours very faithfully, \n\nHo Kai, Chairman \n\nWei Yuk, Hon. Treasurer Wong Yat Sun, Hon. Secretary Chun Shing Kong, Hon.

Those \"deep feelings of personal regard and high esteem,\" to which you have given expression in this address, I most cordially reciprocate. There is no portion of my past life to which I look back with greater pleasure than the years I spent at the Central School. When I think of the support which I invariably received from the community, and the untiring efforts of my scholars to profit by the instruction they received, I feel that I should be wanting in my duty if I did not avail myself of this opportunity to convey to those who treated me with such forbearance and confidence the assurance of my sincerest gratitude. But apart altogether from the honour you have this day conferred on me personally by endowing this scholarship and calling it by my name, I desire to assure you that it would have been impossible for you to have done anything which I appreciate so much as this substantial boon which you have bestowed upon the old school. I trust that those who may hereafter be successful in winning it will do as much as you have done to uphold the credit of the school, and continue to manifest the same feelings of regard towards it and towards all who are called upon to take part in the instruction of your successors. \n\n(Applause) \n\nThe company then adjourned to luncheon in an adjoining room, and a number of toasts were afterwards drunk, \n\nHis Excellency the GOVERNOR,\" in proposing \"The Queen,\" said-Gentlemen, as you all appear to have done full justice to the ample fare placed before us by our kind Chinese hosts and I am sure you will all agree with me there could not have been a better luncheon served on any table in any part of the world-- (applause)-I say after such a luncheon it is time we should proceed to the less substantial but perhaps more intellectual part of the proceedings. When I was asked by the old scholars to preside on this occasion I gladly consented to their request, partly out of respect to them and partly because I wished to show my sympathy with the graceful and gratifying mark of honour which they are paying to-day to my distinguished friend opposite, Dr. Stewart.

Une ligne d'abatis en bambous secs non élagués recouvre le fossé. Entre le fossé et le parapet, une berme de 3 à 4 mètres de largeur est couverte de bambous vivants, très serrés, de 8 à 10 mètres de haut, qui cachent complètement la ville aux vues de l'extérieur. Cette haie de bambous est un feu obstacle infranchissable.\n\nLa porte Ouest de l'enceinte extérieure étant murée, un passage d'un mètre de large a été pratiqué à travers la haie de bambous, à 40 mètres au sud de la porte. Par cette ouverture, on peut arriver au pied du rempart et l'escalader. Elle est couverte par un tambour, fermé lui-même par une porte en bois. Extérieurement, une route aboutit à la porte Ouest et contourne le fossé jusqu'à la porte du tambour, qu'il faut franchir d'abord pour pouvoir entrer ensuite dans l'enceinte, un à un, par la coupure pratiquée à travers les bambous.\n\nLes portes du Nord, du Sud et de l'Est sont protégées par un tambour en palanques; des défenses accessoires, petits piquets, chevaux de frise, fraises, couvrent les abords et les couronnements des portes.\n\nÀ l'extérieur de la ville, le terrain est couvert de villages et de pagodes fortifiés par une haie vive de bambous et un parapet en terre percé de créneaux, qui défendent les approches de l'enceinte. Les principaux sont: Mai Chay, Nghia-Phu, Thanh-Tri, Van Gia, vers le Sud; Thien-Haan et Phuc To, vers le Nord-Est; le village, le marché et les pagodes de Phu Nhi, Van-Mien, vers le Nord-Ouest. Du côté du Sud-Ouest, l'enceinte extérieure est longée par un arroyo de 30 mètres de large, sur lequel est un pont en bambous, en partie détruit, conduisant de la porte Ouest à la pagode de X:-Ba.\n\nDe la porte Nord, une rue conduit à l'embarcadère de Phu Nhi, qui avait été considéré par l'ennemi comme notre point de débarquement et avait été défendu en conséquence.\n\nLa digue venant du Day se rapproche du fleuve et va tomber sur la rive à Thien-Loc; elle s'en écarte ensuite progressivement pour la rejoindre une seconde fois au village de Noi. L'embarcadère de Phu Nhi est au milieu de ce demi-cercle, parfaitement commandé par la digue, qui a environ 5 mètres de surélévation.\n\nLa partie de la digue située entre Thien-Loc et Phu-Sa a été rongée en deux points par les eaux; aussi a-t-elle été doublée dans le Sud par une nouvelle digue traversant Linh-Chien et rejoignant l'ancienne à Phu-Sa.\n\nLa branche du Nord est organisée de la même manière; elle bat le terrain qui s'étend vers Phuc-To, Thien-Xuan et la partie Nord-Est de l'enceinte extérieure. Une porte défilée, pratiquée dans un retour de la coupure, permet de communiquer avec le reste de la digue vers Linh-Chien.\n\nCes deux portions de digues, que nous appellerons aussi branches de Phu-Sa, sont barrées par une palissade terrassée à hauteur de Thien-Xuan. À 100 mètres dans l'est de leur point de jonction, elles sont barrées de nouveau par un retranchement en terre, armé d'un canon placé dans une casemate qui les enfile suivant la direction de l'Est. À hauteur de ces deux batteries casematées, un retranchement en terre relie les deux branches.\n\nL'ensemble des deux branches et des retranchements constitue un ouvrage fermé.\n\nDu côté du Sud, le village de Phu-Sa est entouré d'un retranchement en terre pourvu de créneaux, qui se relie à la branche Sud et la flanque dans tous les sens. Ce village et la plaine sont à 6 ou 7 mètres au-dessus du niveau de la digue. Aux abords, le sommet et les talus de la branche Sud sont garnis de piquets de bambous et d'abatis. Du côté du Nord, le pied de la digue est longé par un fossé plein d'eau, couvert d'abatis de bambous.\n\nLe fleuve est battu en travers par les canons de Phu-Sa et enfilé par une grosse pièce établie près de la rive à la même hauteur. Cette pièce est protégée par un parapet et des traverses.\n\nTel est l'ensemble des ouvrages désignés sous le nom de forts de Phu-Sa, qui forment le point d'appui oriental des défenses dirigées contre le fleuve.\n\nD'après cette disposition des ouvrages, il fallait s'appuyer sur le fleuve pour avoir une base d'opérations solide, surtout avec le concours des canonnières, ainsi que pour échapper à toutes les difficultés de ravitaillement en vivres comme en munitions. C'était aussi là que la porte nord-ouest de l'enceinte, objectif présumé de l'attaque, était la plus accessible.\n\nAussitôt arrivé à Thien-Loc, après avoir reconnu les positions, je fis avancer sur la branche Sud le bataillon d'infanterie de marine commandant Dalien, précédé de sa compagnie de tirailleurs annamites, capitaine Doucet, flanqué dans la plaine, du côté du village Linh-Chien, par une compagnie d'auxiliaires tonkinois. Deux pièces de 4, en batterie à la grande digue, battirent en même temps, du côté de la plaine, les postes avancés ennemis qui furent enlevés sans grande difficulté, et la tête de colonne arriva rapidement au village de Linh-Chien. Le bataillon de Reygasse s'engagea sur la branche Sud à la suite du bataillon Dalien. En même temps, une batterie d'artillerie, placée à l'ouest de la grande digue, enfilait les extrémités et des branches de Phu-Sa et battait la pagode du village, sur laquelle tirait également la flottille, à la même hauteur sur la branche Sud, occupèrent le village et la pagode; nos troupes se trouvaient ainsi à 500 ou 600 mètres des ouvrages de Phu-Sa, dont le feu, très bien nourri, ralentit leur marche.\n\nVers dix heures trente, le bataillon Roux, un peu plus tard, le bataillon Chevallier (infanterie de marine), s'avançant par la branche Nord jusqu'à Noi, est organisée en une immense batterie: toutes les pièces sont sous casemates; des traverses nombreuses abritent les défenseurs et les pièces contre l'enfilade. Un mur en terre, de 1 m. 50 de hauteur et 2 mètres d'épaisseur, couronne la crête de la digue du côté du fleuve. Le sommet de la digue, qui a 8 ou 10 mètres de largeur, forme le terre-plein. Les défenseurs sont couverts par une rangée de maisons en paillottes disposées sur la crête opposée. Ces maisons servent de logements et de parados. Cette disposition existe aussi sur les branches de Phu-Sa, et empêche de voir d'une branche les défenseurs de l'autre.\n\nÀ 100 mètres à l'ouest de Phu-Sa, la digue est fermée par une forte palissade, renforcée par un parapet en terre disposé pour la fusillade, et pourvu d'une casemate armée d'un canon. Cette coupure a un retour percé d'une porte bien défilée.\n\nAu passage de la route de l'embarcadère à la citadelle, un grand tambour en terre et en palanques, avec casemates basses, couvre la porte et flanque le fossé de la digue. Ce tambour est contourné par le fossé. Il forme un véritable bastion. À l'ouest de ce tambour, le fossé s'élargit et forme un espèce d'étang jusque vers Noi. La rue de l'embarcadère est d'ailleurs obstruée, entre la digue et la ville, par une barricade armée d'un canon pouvant tirer vers la digue.\n\nUne batterie de canons de 4 fut établie alors entre les deux branches, à l'ouest du village de Linh-Chien, et deux pièces de 4 sur la branche Sud, à la sortie du village. Ces pièces ouvrirent leur feu vers une heure l'après-midi, prenant à revers les casemates de Phu-Sa et battant directement la batterie ennemie de 4 pièces de la branche Sud.\n\nLa flottille, de son côté, engagea le combat avec la batterie de Phu-Sa et les jonques armées de canons qui étaient accostées à l'embarcadère. La Fanfare, serrant de près la rive gauche, avait vue sur les ouvrages de Phu-Sa, qu'elle battit jusqu'au moment de l'assaut. Le tir avait lieu entre 1,500 et 2,000 mètres.\n\nDans la nuit, quelques coups de fusil furent échangés entre la légion étrangère et des tirailleurs ennemis embusqués dans le village boisé de Phu-Nhi, qui s'étend de la digue vers le Sud.\n\nPendant toute la journée, ce côté du champ de bataille fut le théâtre d'un combat indécis, engagé à fond ni d'un côté ni de l'autre, tandis que l'action principale se poursuivait à Phu-Sa.\n\nÀ deux heures et demie, le bataillon Jouneau (tirailleurs algériens), qui était en réserve à Thien-Loc, reçut l'ordre de se porter en avant. Il vint prendre position derrière une haie de bambous, entre la branche Nord et le fleuve, à 400 mètres environ de Phu-Sa, soutenu par une batterie de canons de 4 et par le feu de la flottille. À sa gauche, le bataillon Chevallier et une partie du bataillon Roux, soutenus par deux batteries de canons de 4, étaient déployés dans l'espace compris entre les deux branches et se reliaient au bataillon Dalien, dont deux compagnies, soutenues par deux pièces de 4, formaient la tête de colonne sur la branche Sud.\n\nLe colonel Bazin, dirigeant plus particulièrement l'opération sur la branche Nord, était assisté sur la branche Sud par le colonel de Maussion. Vers quatre heures, le colonel Bazin, jugeant que le feu de l'ennemi se ralentissait sensiblement, demanda l'autorisation de donner l'assaut.\n\nLa flottille reçut l'ordre de cesser le feu et, au signal du colonel Bazin, nos troupes s'élancèrent avec un élan admirable. Le bataillon Jouneau, son commandant en tête et la compagnie Godinet en tête, fila presque homme par homme, en dedans de la branche Nord, en dessous et en arrière des casemates ennemies, tandis que les bataillons Chevallier et Roux traversaient, non sans difficulté, la plaine marécageuse qui précède le retranchement crénelé sur la branche Sud. Les compagnies Cany (infanterie de marine) et Doucet (tirailleurs annamites), du bataillon Dalien, soutenues par une partie du bataillon Reygasse, enlèvent à la baïonnette la partie qui défend le passage; le capitaine Doucet trouve dans cette attaque une mort glorieuse. Ces compagnies, gagnant au pas de course le point de jonction des deux branches, y rallient le bataillon Jouneau, qui s'en est emparé quelques instants avant. Mais l'ennemi, repoussé, fait une résistance intrépide; solidement établi derrière la barricade élevée en travers à 100 mètres au-delà du point de jonction, embusqué dans le village qui borde la branche Sud à notre gauche, il dirige sur nos troupes un feu meurtrier; deux fois la compagnie Godinet, soutenue par la compagnie Cany, se précipite à l'assaut de la barricade, deux fois son élan vient se briser contre un obstacle infranchissable.\n\nCette nuit du 14 au 15 fut un combat continuel. Enhardis par l'obscurité, furieux de leur défaite, les Pavillons-Noirs ne cessent de harceler nos lignes, dirigeant sur Phu-Sa leurs plus violentes attaques et nous infligeant des pertes cruelles. Toutefois, ils ne peuvent entamer nos positions; un dernier mouvement offensif, tenté sur toute la ligne, vers quatre heures du matin, est repoussé comme les autres; alors, ils profitent des dernières heures de nuit pour évacuer tous les ouvrages du bord du fleuve et se renfermer dans l'enceinte extérieure de Sontay.\n\nAinsi, l'échec des attaques de nuit, achevant la défaite de l'ennemi, nous livrait sans combat une série de positions dont la prise de vive force nous eût coûté sans doute de très grands sacrifices.\n\nAprès avoir montré un entrain admirable dans l'assaut de Phu-Sa, et retrouvé une fois de plus cet élan qui les a illustrées dans tant de batailles, nos troupes, tirailleurs algériens et infanterie de marine, ont déployé au milieu de l'obscurité, durant ces longues heures de lutte, une bravoure, un sang-froid et une énergie dignes des plus glorieuses journées de leur histoire.\n\nLe 15, vers sept heures du matin, je retournai à Phu-Sa, où tout était rentré dans le calme. Je pus franchir sans difficulté la terrible barricade contre laquelle s'étaient brisés la veille tant de généreux efforts. Les corps mutilés de plusieurs de nos braves furent retrouvés auprès de la barricade, ainsi que ceux d'un certain nombre de Chinois que l'ennemi avait abandonnés dans sa fuite.\n\nLe 16, au jour, la légion étrangère alla fouiller ce village, où se trouvaient quelques Pavillons-Noirs; arrivée à la lisière Sud, elle échangea quelques coups de fusil avec le corps de la place et revint ensuite reprendre son poste sur la digue.\n\nLe bataillon Le Tellier, envoyé en reconnaissance dès les six heures du matin, arriva sans incident à 500 mètres de la butte qui défendait la porte Ouest de l'enceinte, un peu à droite, à 300 mètres environ de la grande pagode fortifiée de Mien-Hoi-Dong, occupée par l'ennemi. Il y fut reçu par une vive fusillade: c'était le prélude de la journée.\n\nVers dix heures, dans le lointain, au pied de collines, une forte colonne ennemie sortie de la ville se dirigeait vers l'Ouest, tentant sur notre droite un mouvement tournant; quelques-uns de ses tirailleurs avaient déjà atteint la lisière du bois.\n\nLe bataillon Le Tellier, relevé par la légion étrangère dans l'attaque principale, fut chargé de surveiller ce mouvement de l'ennemi; le bataillon Jouneau avait déjà dirigé une compagnie de ce côté. Quelques obus, envoyés à grande distance par une batterie établie sur la digue, jetèrent aussi le trouble dans les masses ennemies.\n\nJ'étais allé le matin examiner le terrain; j'y retournai alors et j'arrêtai les dispositions pour l'attaque.\n\nLe bataillon Dulieu prit position autour d'une pagode située entre le hameau de Ha-Tray et la pointe du village de Phu-Nhi. Le bataillon Jouneau fut mis en réserve le long de la lisière Ouest du village de Phu-Nbi; ces troupes étaient appuyées par la batterie et allaient occuper les positions évacuées. Le bataillon Chevallier, soutenu par une batterie d'artillerie et par le bataillon Reygasse, s'engageait dans la grande rue qui mène à la porte Nord, et le bataillon Roux allait remplacer à Phu-Sa le bataillon Reygasse. Ces derniers mouvements avaient pour but de simuler une attaque sur la porte Nord, que l'ennemi avait accumulé ses plus puissants moyens de défense, et d'attirer son attention de ce côté, tandis que l'attaque principale serait vivement menée contre la porte Ouest.\n\nCette dernière, en effet, quoique défendue par une batterie de quatre pièces, offre à l'attaque des conditions particulièrement favorables. Située à l'extrémité d'un saillant très allongé de la fortification, elle est percée au milieu d'un front en pan coupé de peu d'étendue, 30 mètres environ. Les deux faces S.-O. et N.-O., qui aboutissent à cette porte, peuvent être enfilées facilement par l'assaillant placé aux pagodes Dan-Xa-Trac, Dan-Son-Xuyen, Mien-Hoi-Dong et au marché de Phu-Nhi. Tous les projectiles dirigés sur le retranchement se concentrent dans le quartier Ouest de la ville et contribuent à le rendre inhabitable pour les défenseurs. De plus, l'aile droite de l'assaillant se trouve couverte par l'arroyo, sur lequel les pagodes nous donnent une tête de pont.\n\nEnfin, le terrain, bas près de l'arroyo et près de la digue, où il est même marécageux, se relève peu à peu en approchant de la porte Ouest.\n\nUn tertre isolé est situé près de la route.\n\nL'ennemi ripostait vigoureusement; les projectiles tombaient au milieu des nôtres. Un d'eux atteignit la Fanfare et fut amorti par le blindage en chaînes dont cette canonnière s'était protégée à l'extérieur; l'air...\n\nLe capitaine Godinet et son adjudant sont tués, le commandant Jouneau reçoit une balle dans la cuisse, le capitaine Cuny est blessé au bras; le lieutenant Clavet, qui le remplace, tombe frappé d'une balle quelques instants après. Les obus occasionnaient de grands ravages; ils démontaient des pièces et réduisaient les batteries au silence près. L'incendie des maisons voisines allumé par l'ennemi offre un nouvel obstacle. La nuit approche.\n\nLe colonel Bazin et le colonel de Maussion, préoccupés de défendre les positions conquises avant de pousser plus loin, font commencer un retranchement en avant de la plaine jusqu'au village de Phu-Tu-Dong.\n\nLa flottille et le convoi avaient suivi le mouvement des troupes et étaient venus mouiller un peu en amont, au point d'où l'on aperçoit la tour de la citadelle, les remorqueurs et bâtiments de charge accostés par le travers et en aval.\n\nÀ Noi, une batterie enfile la digue vers l'Ouest. Cette batterie est reliée avec les défenses du village Van-Mien par une palissade de Noï.\n\nLa digue du Nord est organisée en batterie casematée. Chaque pièce a sa casemate; entre les casemates sont des créneaux pour le fusil. Cette batterie a vue sur le fleuve et sur le terrain qui le sépare de la digue jusqu'à l'embarcadère. Un mirador entièrement construit est destiné à concourir, avec le gros canon de Phu-Sa, à enfiler le fleuve. Il n'est pas armé.\n\nLa citadelle se compose de plus de 100 pièces de canon, dont la moitié environ sont de petit calibre et susceptibles d'être déplacées.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-219 Foreign Office 1884.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 329809, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-224 - Foreign Office - 1885", "page_number": 132, "title": "CO129-224 - Foreign Office - 1885", "content_text": "## Page 20\n\n« terme, et ils restent ainsi sous son entière dépendance. » Le Gouverneur ne crut pas non plus opportun de soulever la question de l'esclavage, malgré l'inexécution flagrante des ordonnances de 1877.\n\nUne convention en date du 21 novembre 1881 avait mis à la charge du royaume les dépenses du Protectorat; certains revenus s'élevant à environ cent mille piastres, furent réservés à cet effet. Ce petit budget permit d'assurer le traitement des magistrats du tribunal de Phnom-Penh, d'entretenir la chaloupe à vapeur du représentant du Protectorat, de créer un poste à Kampot, port cambodgien, sur le golfe de Siam, pour la surveillance de la contrebande, et de créer dans la capitale une grande et belle école française qui est fréquentée par les fils du roi, des princes et des hauts mandarins.\n\nDivers autres arrangements, conclus au cours de l'année 1882, eurent pour objet d'aider à la répression du brigandage et de la piraterie qui, par suite de l'incurie des mandarins cambodgiens, prenaient des proportions inquiétantes sur les frontières de la Cochinchine. La contrebande des armes et des munitions de guerre s'était également développée de façon à éveiller de sérieuses appréhensions. L'établissement d'une zone neutre entre la Cochinchine et le Cambodge, où nos agents eurent le droit de suite et où il fut interdit d'établir des bureaux de vente d'opium, des distilleries et des maisons de jeu, apporta quelque remède à ces désordres.\n\nLes choses en étaient là lorsque M. Thomson succéda, au mois de janvier 1883, à M. Le Myre de Vilers, en qualité de gouverneur de la Cochinchine.\n\nUn fait nouveau, d'une extrême gravité, s'était produit dans notre politique en extrême Orient. Le commandant Rivière avait été envoyé au Tonkin à la tête d'une poignée de marins et de soldats. Cette mesure conservatoire de nos droits soulevait contre nous l'hostilité mal déguisée de l'Annam et de la Chine. Les événements qui allaient se dérouler en ces régions ne pouvaient manquer d'avoir leur contre-coup à la cour de Norodom.\n\n## Page 21\n\nLe roi du Cambodge n'avait certes jamais manqué l'occasion de protester de ses sentiments de fidélité envers la France; il affectait une vive reconnaissance pour le pays protecteur auquel il devait le maintien de sa couronne; il avait souscrit, en 1872, pour la libération du territoire comme il souscrivit plus tard pour le monument à la mémoire de Gambetta; cependant, ni les gouverneurs de Cochinchine, ni les résidents de France à Phnom Penh ne s'illusionnèrent jamais sur la nature des sentiments que Norodom nourrissait à notre égard.\n\nSes intrigues avec la cour de Bangkok et certaines tentatives pour entrer en relations avec des puissances européennes qu'il nous croyait peu sympathiques n'avaient pas échappé à nos agents. Il y avait d'autant plus lieu de veiller attentivement, que Norodom concédait, d'une part, divers monopoles à des Chinois et s'entourait, à Phnom Penh, d'Européens de nationalités diverses, dont quelques-uns dissimulaient à peine leur hostilité contre notre pays.\n\nS'il faut en croire un juge compétent, plus les protestations de Norodom sont chaleureuses, plus il faut se défier.\n\nNous relevons, en effet, un mot typique, dans une dépêche de M. Le Myre de Vilers. Il s'agit des menées de Norodom près la cour de Siam. « La conversation que j'ai eue avec Sa Majesté, écrivait le Gouverneur de la Cochinchine, ne me laisse aucun doute à cet égard; elle a trop essayé de se défendre pour ne point être coupable de quelque nouvelle trahison. »\n\nNos embarras au Tonkin, après l'échec et la mort du commandant Rivière devant Hanoï, produisirent une vive impression à Phnom-Penh. M. le Gouverneur Thomson, informé par notre résident, écrivait à ce sujet à la fin de juillet 1883: « J'ai remarqué que depuis les récents événements d'Hanoi, l'attitude du roi vis-à-vis du Protectorat contrastait singulièrement avec ses déclarations et que, tout en protestant... \n\n## Page 8 \n## Page 130", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-224 - Foreign Office - 1885.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 331128, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-227 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1886 [6]", "page_number": 211, "title": "CO129-227 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1886 [6]", "content_text": "# \n\n35.

Not to make them a handsome present, not to do anything pleasing to them, but to put his hand into his pocket and make himself a handsome present. The park is for our own amusement and gratification, and probably certainly not for the recreation of the whole community, but only a section of the community—the section which you expect to put their hands in their pockets and subscribe towards the rejoicings. The Government have voted the money, the land is the property of the Government, and only the Government can do the work. The only thing we can do is to urge the Government on and say that if they will be so good as to get the work done this year and pay out the moneys voted for it we will put our hands into our pockets and pay the balance it may stand in need of. I put it the thing is utterly inadequate, utterly unworthy of the community, and almost ridiculous. The park would be a useful thing, but not for the jubilee celebration of Her Majesty. If we do anything let us do something that will be a credit to ourselves. I simply moved the amendment to the second resolution with a view of eliciting the opinions of the meeting. I loyally accept the decision. We are to have a permanent institution, but let it be something worthy of the occasion. As Mr. Ryrie says, we are wealthy enough to put our hands in our pockets and establish a well-endowed charitable institution of some kind, and if we are to have a permanent institution I do urge upon you, gentlemen, that this meeting should do something worthy of the occasion and of Her Majesty. I have much pleasure in seconding the amendment moved by Dr. Ho Kai. With regard to leaving the exact nature of the institution to the decision of Her Majesty, of course something must be suggested. Nothing can be left to Her Majesty except that perhaps half a dozen schemes may be submitted to her with suggestions, and she may choose one of them as most acceptable to herself. But with the broad general principle of the amendment I do most sincerely hope you will concur—that the permanent memorial take the form of a charitable institution the nature of which shall be in accordance with the wishes of Her Majesty the Queen.\n\n€ 189.\n\nMr. R. FRASER-SMITH—Your Honour and gentlemen, although there may be some difference of opinion as to the form the permanent memorial should take, I think there cannot be two opinions as to the pliability of conscience displayed by the learned Queen's Counsel who has just taken his seat. About ten minutes ago we had him contending the proper mode of celebrating the occasion would be to subscribe to the institution in London, and now we hear him advocating a charitable institution. There is certainly a great inconsistency in this as the two things happen to be as opposite as the poles. With reference to the only sensible objection raised to the Park by Dr. Ho Kai, which was that it had already been named the Bowen Park, that does not happen to be the case. I happened to be present at the little amusing farce which took place in Happy Valley two years ago, and what took place was that the Surveyor-General said it was the unanimous opinion of the people of the colony that the park should be named the Bowen Park. But the Surveyor-General had never had the sanction of the community to make that statement; and all Sir George Bowen said was that he was very glad to hear it. It was perfectly well understood that when the park was completed it should be named the Bowen Park, but it has never been so named, and therefore the objection is the merest phantasy. With reference to what Mr. Francis says as to its not being a suitable memorial, not good enough, I think nothing more suitable could be devised. A thing that is to tend so much to the health and recreation of the community is better than a charitable institution, which can only cut one way. The objection of a few Chinese is that the Chinese will not benefit by it. Who will benefit by a charitable institution? The Europeans? Certainly not; the Chinese and the Chinese alone. (Hear, hear). But the Chinese will benefit by this park; they benefit by it now. Anyone who frequents the Race-course as much as I do will see hundreds of children playing on it now. How many more hundreds will go there when it is put in proper order! I am certainly in favour of Mr. Chater's proposal until something else of a definite nature is put before the meeting. Nothing else definite has been put before the meeting, and until something better has been put forward I will certainly support Mr. Chater's proposal. (Applause).\n\nHon. A. LISTER—May I be allowed for one moment to protest against the idea that the Government is in any way pledged to complete the Park at Wong Nei-cheong? A very singular delusion seems to run in the minds of Dr. Ho Kai and others that when a certain sum of money is written down on paper it represents so much cash. A sum of $25,000, I think, was, in a moment of enthusiasm, put down as a possible sum which might be spent on a public park; but that sum was very quickly withdrawn, and the idea of spending anything was given up. Then the modest sum of $5,000 was put down and was spent. And what did it do? It reclaimed that little corner as you go into the valley, and that was all the Colony got for $5,000. A proposal was made to spend another $5,000, but the Surveyor-General said he preferred to do the whole thing or nothing, and he declined to do any patchwork. (Applause). He declined to spend $5,000 this year and $5,000 next year. He said it would simply be making matters worse; creating mud heaps was, I think, his expression. The Government has spent $5,000 to put a little corner in order, and it may in future years, if there is any available surplus, devote a little more to the same purpose. I should say that may occur, if nothing unforeseen happens, in fifteen years, or may be twenty years. (Laughter).\n\nHon. A. P. MACEWEN—Sir, I would simply say I do not consider any scheme which has been included in the Government estimates as fit and proper for the present occasion. Mr. Fraser Smith has said that no other definite scheme has been put before us, but I may say that shortly before I came into the room this evening I received a communication from a mutual friend who asked me to propose the following. I am sorry he is not here himself. He suggests, and I to a very great extent agree with him, that subscriptions to the jubilee commemoration should be devoted to the enlargement and restoration of the City Hall, which should hereafter be called the Victoria City Hall, and that a Committee be appointed to obtain plans and estimates, the same to be submitted to the subscribers. I may perhaps state the cost would amount to something like $30,000, and there is no doubt that sum could be very easily subscribed in this colony. It would at the same time benefit the Chinese and be a great source of pleasure to many Europeans, and it is a scheme I should support.\n\nThis proposition was not seconded.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN, in putting the amendment proposed by Dr. Ho Kai, said—Considering that we have declined to consider the proposal put forward by the Prince of Wales to subscribe to the Institute for Great Britain, India, and Colonies, perhaps the next most graceful thing we could do would be to leave the disposal of such funds as we may subscribe to the decision of Her Majesty herself, and that the Committee which may be appointed should be empowered to make out a list and forward it to Her Majesty, or it might be submitted hereafter to another public meeting. However, the resolution and amendment have been proposed and seconded, and it is a question for your consideration.\n\nThe amendment was then put and lost, and Mr. Chater's resolution for the formation of the Victoria Park was carried by a large majority.\n\nMr. FRANCIS proposed the appointment of the following gentlemen as a general Committee: Major-General Cameron, Vice-Admiral Hamilton, Sir Geo. Phillippo, Commodore Morant, Colonel Storer, R.E., Colonel Ryan, R.A., the Right Rev. Bishop Burdon, Dr. Chalmers, Rev. A.

A. LISTER seconded, and the resolution was carried.\n\nOn the motion of the Hon. P. RYRIE a vote of thanks to the Chairman was carried by acclamation.\n\n431", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-231 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1887 [1-3].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 334076, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-232 - Acting Governor Marsh Acting Governor Cameron - 1887 [4-5]", "page_number": 360, "title": "CO129-232 - Acting Governor Marsh Acting Governor Cameron - 1887 [4-5]", "content_text": "wanted for dried specimens, but if the tree blossoms again this year, which there is every reason to expect it will do, the flowers will be left on the tree and fertilized for the production of fruit which will no doubt succeed the flowers.\n\n26. BAMBOO.-In my annual report for 1882 I stated that I had brought together in one collection twenty-five kinds of bamboos. These have continued to do well, and some further additions have been made. I hope whenever there is an opportunity to still further increase the collection. The bamboos of China are of great interest and utility and many of them are probably unknown to science. It is impossible to assign them to their true places in systematic botany until flowers are obtained from which a complete and satisfactory study of them can be made. The bamboo flowers at such long intervals that if we trust to travellers being able to furnish the desired flowering specimens the day will be very far distant when the study will have made much progress. One reason why the different kinds should be cultivated in these Gardens, is that when flowers are produced they can be immediately secured for investigation.\n\n27. A year or two ago Dr. MacGowan kindly sent me specimens of the very interesting square-stemmed bamboo, but unfortunately they did not survive the passage. When he was passing through the Colony recently Dr. MacGowan was good enough to promise to send me a further consignment, I hope, therefore, to have the plant in cultivation shortly.\n\n28. While writing this note on bamboos I have received a letter from Mr. Dyer, the Director of Kew Gardens, in which he says in reference to this very subject:-\"The Chinese species of this group are very badly known. There is a kind with large leaves which is used for lining tea chests, but about which nothing else is known. It would be a most important thing to take up vigorously the study of bamboos and procure specimens whenever they are to be met with in flower.\"\n\n29. TREE TOMATO.-(Cyphomandra betacea).-Vigorous plants which grew from seeds sent me by Mr. Morris, the late Director of the Jamaica Botanical Department, produced a crop of fruit during the summer, but heavy rains which occurred at the time so seriously damaged the plants that the fruit did not mature properly. I fear that the saturated condition of the soil during the rainy season will prevent this useful plant being successfully grown in the Colony. In the drier, and more sandy soil of Kowloon, however, it is possible that it may succeed.\n\n30. DILLENIA SPECIOSA.-An Indian tree which was introduced about ten years ago bore a heavy crop of fruit. In India the fruit is used for tarts. That which the tree bore was found to be a fairly good substitute for apples, which it somewhat resembled.\n\n31. VITIS MARTINII (?)-The Cochin-China vine again yielded a very heavy crop of fruit. This has received a good deal of attention in America where it is being experimented with as a new wine producer. For this purpose it has been spoken of favourably. It is possible that in some climates which are unsuitable for the cultivation of the grape-vine this one might be of considerable service, I tried the fruit in tarts, and the flavour was found to be good and palatable, but the large seeds are objectionable; however, it is possible that this drawback might be diminished in time by cultivation. The large leaves of the plant give it a distinguished and ornamental appearance which is an additional recommendation for its finding a place in tropical gardens, if not even in hot-houses of temperate climates.\n\n32. GOVERNMENT HOUSE GROUNDS.---When these were laid out many years ago they were planted with such things as could be most readily secured, but unfortunately the selection and variety of trees chosen was in consequence not so good as desirable. From time to time a good many objectionable trees have been removed and replaced with others of a more ornamental character, amongst them being a large number of palms and some conifers. These have all done well and greatly improved the appearance of the garden. There is still a large number of trees, notably the very common banians and clumps of bamboos, which mar the effect and effectually stand in the way of further improvements which ought to be made without delay.\n\n33. PLANT SALES.-The demand for plants continues to steadily increase. During the year plants were sold, and they realised $409.35, which is an excess of $137.50 over the sales for 1885. The sales would have been greater if the supply had been equal to the demand. Means are not adequate for the cultivation of certain kinds of plants, but I hope that a re-arrangement of nursery appliances, and an extension of the ground which will be effected this year will place us in a better position to meet public requirements, and a growing taste for plants. A Glass-house fifty feet long is in course of construction, when finished it will be used for propagation and growth of delicate plants which in the early stages of growth require its protection. A new Catalogue of Plants for sale in 1887 has been printed.\n\nDISTRIBUTION AND EXCHANGE OF PLANTS AND SEEDS.\n\n34. The total number of plants and trees distributed was 6,771, and of packets and bags of seeds 18 weighing about 40 lbs. Of the trees and plants 1,918 were sold, 2,800 supplied free to the Royal Engineers for planting at the new forts, 800 given to various Police Stations and planted at the Government Hospital new grounds, and the balance, 1,253, were distributed in exchange.\n\n35. Of plants received in exchange the number was 1,326, and of bags, boxes and packets of seed 53 weighing about 70 lbs.\n\n36.

To the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, I am indebted for two Wardian cases of useful and ornamental plants which I selected at Kew and brought with me when I returned from England in June.\n\n39. A valuable collection of orchids was kindly contributed by Dr. King, Superintendent of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Calcutta.\n\n40. Senor Don Sebastian Vidal y Soler, Inspector-General of Forests, Manila, also kindly sent a very valuable collection of Manila orchids.\n\n41. Kew also sent out a number of succulent plants which should have special mention.\n\n42. LOAN PLANTS.-The collection grown specially for loan for decorative purposes at public balls and other entertainments has not been in such good condition as I hoped they would be by this time, but before the next season of festivities I hope that, with more special care devoted to them, they will be more worthy of the purposes for which they are intended. These plants are always lent free, the only charge made being that for their conveyance.\n\n43. GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL.-Application was made to this Department to plant with shade and ornamental trees the new Grounds adjacent to the Hospital which had been designed for the recreation of the patients. A considerable amount of planting was done accordingly, but the prospect is not anticipated of the successful results being achieved which might have been had this Department being placed in a position to deal with the grounds at a much earlier stage in the progress of their formation.\n\n44. REGIMENTAL BAND PERFORMANCES.--Throughout the summer months the Band of the 2nd Northamptonshire Regiment, through the kindness of the Colonel and Officers, entertained the public every Sunday, commencing at 9 o'clock P.M. when the weather permitted, and during the cold weather commencing at 3.30 P.M. It has been the custom to illuminate the Gardens for these performances with Japanese paper lanterns. These illuminations necessitated the erection on Saturdays of material\n\nPage 360\n\nPage 361", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-232 - Acting Governor Marsh Acting Governor Cameron - 1887 [4-5].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 334375, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-233 - Acting Governor Cameron - 1887 [6-8]", "page_number": 197, "title": "CO129-233 - Acting Governor Cameron - 1887 [6-8]", "content_text": "whatever to do with this case. If you believe the evidence of Chan Ayut you have a right to call upon the prisoners for their defence, but you have no right to adjourn this case from week to week till the other case is finished. These defendants have nothing to do with that case. These three men before your Worship are on trial for their lives, and their case ought to be conducted in a legal, formal, and proper manner; and I submit, with all respect to your Worship, that the case is not being conducted in such a manner when it is being adjourned from week to week. If your Worship believes the evidence of Chun Ayut, if your Worship believes that Dr. Hartigan, Mr. Chun Kai Ming and Ho Ki have all gone into the box and told deliberate falsehoods, the prisoners will make their defence, but if not I submit there is no case against them. Your Worship has been a long time in this colony, and you know how difficult it is for a man to defend himself against officials who are in pay of the Chinese Government, because it is almost impossible to get witnesses to come forward and give evidence when they know that their relations are in the power of the Chinese Government, and the witnesses themselves may be spirited away before they can go down to the Supreme Court. I can assure your Worship that numbers of people have spoken to me in the street, knowing that this was a trumped-up charge, but who are unwilling to come into this court and give evidence, because they know that their relatives would pay the penalty with their lives. If you believe the evidence of Chun Ayat then the case ought to be proceeded with at once and the prisoners allowed to make their defence. The defence which I intend to make will be the proving of an alibi, and if this case is again adjourned fresh charges may be brought by the Chinese Government which it will be impossible for me to disprove, when the Government know exactly where the defendants were at such and such a date.\n\nHis Worship—I cannot agree in any way, with the statement made by Mr. Dennys with regard to the promises I have made during the hearing of the case. The action I have taken throughout these proceedings I have made public, and if I pass over what Mr. Dennys has said with regard to the promises I have made, it is not that I agree with him, but because I do not consider them worthy of further notice. I have here before me in writing the course that was pursued:—“Mr. Dennys applied to have Li Loi arrested on charge of subornation of perjury and Leung Ayow for perjury. Mr. Caldwell applied for time to bring rebutting evidence. The Magistrate declined to take any action in the matter but granted time to allow the solicitors for the defence to take what action they thought fit. The case to be remanded till the following day. In the interval action taken by a private individual, and Li Loi and Leung Ayow charged with subornation of perjury and perjury. Mr. Dennys asks for release of defendants. The Magistrate declines to take any action until the case against Leung Ayow is concluded and proposes to adjourn the case from week to week. Case came on again. Mr. Quincey states that perjury case is still proceeding. The case again remanded. Mr. Dennys on behalf of second and third defendants, and Mr. Holmes, on behalf of first, ask for their discharge. The application refused. Mr. Dennys, and Mr. Holmes ask for bail. Caldwell objects. Bail refused. The Magistrate, in reference to the application of Mr. Francis to be allowed to bring further evidence, in the event of Leung Ayow being convicted of perjury, gives formal notice that should such event occur, he will consider that a prima facie case has been made out.” I am now informed that the €430 is no prima facie case. I am now committed for trial. I cannot believe that the solicitors for the defence think that the other case is yet concluded.\n\nA criminal case is not concluded until the prisoner is either found guilty or acquitted. I shall therefore wait until the case is concluded and remand this one until Monday, April 4th, at 10 o'clock.\n\nPage 363\n\nPage 363\n\nPage 363\n\nThe Daily Press.\n\n29th April.\n\nTHE RENDITION CASE.\n\nChing Sam and Tsang Chun, whose rendition is asked for by the Chinese Government on a charge of burglary and murder, were brought up on remand.\n\nMr. Caldwell appeared for the prosecution. Mr. Dennys for the second prisoner, and Mr. Holmes for the first.\n\nMr. Caldwell stated that Mr. Francis, Q.C., who had appeared for the prosecution on the last occasion, had been called away to Shanghai.\n\nIt was decided to proceed in Mr. Francis's absence.\n\nInspector Quincey gave evidence as to the death of Shap, a prisoner in the same case, who committed suicide in the gaol on Wednesday night.\n\nMr. Dennys then addressed the court on the points of law raised by Mr. Francis on the last occasion and afterwards proceeded to analyse the evidence for the prosecution, his address occupying two hours and a half. With reference to the contention of the prosecution that the court had merely to satisfy itself that a prima facie case was made out and could not enter into evidence for the defence he argued that the Magistrate was bound to satisfy himself absolutely that the prisoners were guilty before committing them to gaol pending the Governor's orders, the Governor being in this matter merely an executive officer and bound to deliver the prisoners up if the Magistrate found them guilty; that the Magistrate was bound to hear and take into consideration the defence if there was any case to answer; but that in the present case the prosecution had utterly broken down and that the prisoners were therefore entitled to their discharge. With regard to the first point he said he thought it was utterly impossible to find any precedent outside Hongkong that would exactly guide his Worship, but several cases were heard here last year in which a man named Chung Chee was claimed by the Chinese authorities for various offences. The prosecution in the first case was conducted by Mr. Ewens, and the prisoner was defended by Mr. Wotton. Evidence was there gone into on behalf of the prisoner in the case in which Mr. Ewens prosecuted, and the prisoner was discharged, or at any rate he was not given up on the charge investigated by the Magistrate. Mr. Caldwell appeared for the prosecution in the other cases brought against the same prisoner, and those cases he believed were proved to the satisfaction of the Magistrate. In those cases the Magistrate allowed the witnesses for the prosecution to be cross-examined, and witnesses to be called on behalf of the prisoner. In this case it had been contended that the Magistrate could not accept on behalf of the prisoner any evidence whatever, and a very eminent authority on extradition, Clark, was quoted. Nothing could be stronger than the law as laid down by Mr. Clark, and he (Mr. Dennys) would quite agree with all that had been said by the learned counsel (Mr. Francis) with regard to that if this case came under the extradition law as applied in England under the act of 1870 and the extension of that Act in 1873. But section 17 of the Act said the Act might be applied with certain modifications by Order in Council to any British possession. That had not been done with regard to Hongkong, and the law by which the court was governed was contained in Ordinance 2 of 1850 and the explanatory Ordinance 2 of 1871. Before going into those Ordinances he would ask his Worship's attention to the Treaty referred to in the second Ordinance. By the Treaty of Tientsin, section 21, two different things were provided for, one referring to criminal subjects of China who take refuge in Hongkong, and the other to Chinese offenders who take refuge on board British ships at the open ports of China.\n\nPage 364\n\nPage 364\n\nPage 364", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-233 - Acting Governor Cameron - 1887 [6-8].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 334433, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-233 - Acting Governor Cameron - 1887 [6-8]", "page_number": 255, "title": "CO129-233 - Acting Governor Cameron - 1887 [6-8]", "content_text": "THE PARADE OF THE TROOPS.\n\nAt an early hour in the afternoon a large crowd began to assemble to witness this interesting ceremony. A body of military police, in addition to the regular civilian force, were in attendance in order to keep the throng of sightseers within their proper limits. And their duties were by no means light, for the proverbial curiosity of the Chinese urged some adventurous coolies again and again to dash through the cordon, undeterred by the fate of their predecessor. Shortly after five o'clock, the troops began to muster on the Parade Ground. The Northamptonshire Regiment, the Royal Artillery, and the Gun Lascars took part in the Parade. After going through a little preliminary drill, the men were drawn up in a double line which extended from the top of the Parade Ground right down Queen's Road to the extreme end of the Cricket Ground. The Gun Lascars with their guns were placed at right angles to the column at the top of the Parade Ground, and the Band was grouped at the back, about the centre. The clock had scarcely given the last stroke of six when the salute by the band and troops announced the arrival of His Excellency, who took up his position at the saluting point. Immediately after his arrival, a salute of seven guns was given by the Lascars, followed by the firing of a feu de joie by the whole troops assembled, after which the band played a few bars of \"God Save the Queen.\" This was repeated twice, thus giving in all a salute of twenty-one guns. At the call of Colonel Anderson, the men then gave three ringing cheers for Her Majesty and \"one cheer more,\" after which the band played the Anthem of \"God Save the Queen\" in its entirety. The men were then arranged in their respective divisions, and with their officers at their head, marched past in order, each division saluting as they passed His Excellency. They then returned to their original ground and were dismissed to the barracks.\n\nREJOICINGS AT THE BARRACKS.\n\nThe 58th Regiment celebrated the Jubilee in a most thorough manner. The square at the rear of the Murray Barracks was artistically illuminated for the occasion with Chinese lanterns, which were hung in festoons round the walls. On the wall of the building itself, the lamps were arranged in gigantic letters, in the form of the letters \"V.R.\" in the centre, flanked on either side with the words \"Queen,\" \"Empress,\" and the number of the Regiment \"58\" at either extremity. Underneath the letters \"V.R.\" were placed shields bearing the coat of arms of the regiment, the whole presenting one of the most effective spectacles it is possible to imagine. Long tables stretched right across the square, on which was placed a most substantial supper. The men having taken their seats and the officers being present, the popular Colonel of the regiment, Col. Anderson, whose appearance was the signal for an outburst of cheering, addressed them as follows:—\n\nOfficers, Non-commissioned Officers, and men of the 58th Northamptonshire Regiment. We are assembled together this evening to celebrate the Jubilee of Her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen, Empress of India. No better day could be chosen, as it completes a cycle, to chronicle the vast strides made by the Empire and to record the improvements and developments of our national resources during the last 50 years. This day is celebrated not only by British subjects throughout the Empire, but also by all nationalities under the British flag, each one vying with another to do honour to Her Majesty, who by her responsible ministers governs the most influential kingdom in the world. By her equity, Her Majesty has gained the highest position as a Sovereign, and by her kindness, the love and esteem of a nation. Well may we who wear Her Majesty's uniform be proud of the high privilege; our insignia, our colours, and our badges are our warrants to uphold Queen and country. We hold sacred our island home. With heart and soul then let us join in our national anthem to our Queen who has the heart of all her subjects, wishing Her Majesty long life, health, and happiness to pilot us through many more years of prosperity.\n\nThe toast was then drunk with ringing cheers which might almost have been heard at the other side of the Island, while the National Anthem was sung by all present in an equally enthusiastic manner. An alteration was made in the anthem, the following verse being substituted for the second verse of the original:—\n\nDo thou her steps direct,\n\nWatch o'er her and protect\n\nOur gracious Queen:\n\nShad o'er her heart a ray\n\nOf wisdom's glorious day,\n\nLov'd be Victoria's sway,\n\nGod Save the Queen.\n\nAt the conclusion of the anthem, cheers were given for Colonel Anderson, Major Ellis, and the different officers. Many of the officers were then taken by several of the men on their shoulders and carried between the lines of tables, those seated greeting each officer as he was borne past with the most vigorous cheering and applause. The officers then withdrew, and the men were for a considerable time engaged on the substantial fare which was placed before them. A stage had been erected in the square, and supper being over, the band and the minstrel troupe of the regiment gave a most enjoyable concert. The entertainment was kept going with much vigour until close upon midnight. In spite of the festive character of the evening and the numbers gathered together, the men behaved in a most exemplary manner, not a single case of removal to the guard room occurring, a fact which speaks well for the character of the regiment.\n\nTHE NAVAL DISPLAY.\n\nPunctually as the nine o'clock gun fired, the Victor Emanuel, Cordelia, and Firebrand were lit up with blue lights, and simultaneously a discharge of rockets took place. The instantaneous transformation of the dark forms of the vessels into a brilliant illumination produced a most striking and pleasing effect and elicited many expressions of admiration from the sightseers along the Praya. But what excited the most admiration was the playing of the powerful electric search light of the Cordelia. This was now thrown up towards the sky and anon swept along the hillside and over the waters of the harbour, one moment lighting up the Victor Emanuel and the next resting on a sampan under sail, making the ugly little craft look like some fairy vessel. Government House and Head Quarter House, with the surrounding trees, were thrown into relief like pictures in a lime light exhibition, and pretty effects were produced in all directions. The display was only of short duration, but was very beautiful while it lasted; before half-past nine, the blue lights were extinguished, and the electric light ceased to play soon afterwards, 49 vessels resuming their ordinary night appearance.\n\nTHE PARSEE CELEBRATION.\n\nAlmost all the members of the Parsee community attended the \"Jasan,\" or thanksgiving ceremony, in celebration of Her Most Gracious Majesty's Jubilee, which took place at 9 a.m. on Tuesday at their Club House in Shelley Street, which building was elegantly decorated with flowers and evergreens. All the Trustees of the Parsee Charity Funds, Messrs. H. N. Mody, N. P. Dhalla, H. M. Mehla, and E. C. Sethna were present. The usual religious ceremony was performed at the commencement, with appropriate prayers.\n\n250", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-233 - Acting Governor Cameron - 1887 [6-8].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 334910, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-234 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Des Voeus - 1887 [9-12]", "page_number": 192, "title": "CO129-234 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Des Voeus - 1887 [9-12]", "content_text": "189\n\nMaliva tsia Kenares Rosian Turkish Chest Cheats Cheat Sheets Chests\n\nJotal Cheets\n\nBrought forward 1861 2 2011 13 13 395 14 12st\n\n23582 2216 1303 62.86\n\nmalwa Petra Revare Persian Turkish Jotal Chests Cheep Chants Cheat Chubs Cheels\n\nBrought forward 740% By Steamer to Macau\n\n \n Ntavila\n \n Pakhoi\n 803616\n 034\n 197\n 17\n 12\n \n \n \n \n \n 2293/1/2\n 226\n 42\n 5\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 47\n 19\n 118\n 139\n \n \n By\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Shanghai\n 13092\n 872\n 366\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Swatow\n 290\n 167\n 101\n 7\n \n \n \n \n \n San Francised\n 254721/2\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 565\n 5\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Faiwanfoo\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Jamui\n 2\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Jouron\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Victoria B.C.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n By Runk to Rapeuimur\n 1\n \n Cheung Chow\n 1\n \n Cheung Sha\n \n \n \n \n \n Chik Sui\n \n \n Hoising Kong Mun\n \n \n \n \n Kowloon\n \n \n đường hai\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Man show On Jau\n \n \n Fear Farnswi\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Drunke to linghoi\n \n \n Sam sui\n 3\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n cipa\n 4\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n San Chong\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Taiping\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Dikhoi\n \n \n \n \n \n Total exported in August\n \n \n ぶ\n \n August\n \n \n \n \n \n 1017\n \n 34\n \n 34\n \n \n \n \n \n 366147\n \n 183\n \n 3371\n \n \n \n \n \n 108\n \n 4\n \n 4\n \n \n \n \n \n 21\n \n 21\n \n 3\n \n \n \n \n PM.\n 2\n \n 21\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 6946\n \n އ\n \n 6756\n \n \n \n \n \n 9\n \n 61\n \n می\n \n \n \n \n \n 4\n \n گوشه\n \n 2\n \n \n \n \n \n 12\n \n 12\n \n 62\n \n \n \n \n 2008-2017\n 308\n \n 395\n \n 14\n \n 637933\n \n\nThe prosecutions during July were as follows:\n\n \n Case\n Date\n Defendant\n Offence\n Decision\n \n \n 67/6\n July 5\n King To\n Having possession of opium\n Opium forfeited\n \n \n \n \n 11 Cheen Cheung\n Having 1/2 ball of opium\n During profession\n \n \n \n \n Jai Sam You Kaqua\n profession\n \n \n \n 699612\n \n Chan A.\n \n \n \n \n 22\n \n Hong A.

Crossing over the street and proceeding eastwards, passing the Victoria Hotel, already described, we come to Messrs. Turner and Co.'s hong, where there was a pretty arrangement of Chinese lanterns. The China Fire Insurance Company had banners hanging from each window, and \"God bless our Queen\" worked in small oil lamps in front of the verandah.

Rs.\" worked in flowers on the top of the porch, lanterns hanging in the porchway underneath, and clusters of lamps on the pediments.\n\nWestward of Pottinger-street one of the most striking illuminations was that of the Stag Hotel, which had a gilt framed oil painting of Her Majesty, with lamps round the arches of the verandahs of all four storeys, and a good display of lanterns on the side of the house. The Man On Insurance Co. also had an effective display, a large number of lanterns being used, many of them of unusual patterns. The Ko Shing Theatre had a \"V. R.\" in glass transparency over the door and the year \"1887.\" Lai Hing and Co. had a gaudy illumination, \"1887\" in the middle with the \"V\" on one side and \"R\" on the other. Other houses illuminated were The Land We Live In tavern, the Rose, Shamrock, and Thistle, the London Hotel, W. Peterson's boarding house, the German Tavern, and the Grand Hotel. The Fire Brigade Station had on the front face of the tower a design in small oil lamps - \"1837-1887\" in the middle, with the \"V\" and \"R\" on the right and left respectively. The Queen's-road side of the building had coloured lanterns. On Chinese establishments which had lit up we read the names of Ses Woo, tailor, Wang Hing, jeweller, Wing Hing, dealer in porcelain, Yu Chong, also dealer in porcelain, Tang Cheong, tailor, Kum Kee, Chinese shipping agent, E. Sing, printer, Fuk On, \"Agent in Sailors and Fireman,\" Yip Sang, dealer in curios, Woo Choong, compradore, Hung Shing, curio dealer, King Wo Shing, Him Wo, Ah Nam, tailor, Yee On, tailor, Yen Sing, curio dealer, Nam Hing Loong, compradore, Achan, photographer, Nam Shing, tailor, Yong Heng, dealer in Chinese goods, Aping, tailor, Ahing, tailor, Song Yuen, photographer, Sun Shing, curio dealer, whose show was considerably above the average; Wah Loong, dealer in Chinese goods, who also made a good show; Fung Hing, tailor, Teen Seng, printer, Seng Yuen, portrait painter, and Sam Hing Street, who had quite a brilliant display. Our enumeration, however, gives the names of only a small fraction of those who took part in the illumination and includes none of the large native hongs who have not their name in English on their signboard. The Chinese participation in the illumination as regards shops and houses, was very general, and in almost every street the Kai fong had done something in the way of erecting arches or sheds for the numerous entertainments and exhibitions of marionettes.\n\nGoing up Ice House Street, we noticed a square of white lanterns at the top of the Ice House, and at Afong's studio lanterns in clusters. Both Messrs. Gibb, Livingston and Co.'s and Messrs. Carlowitz and Co.'s hongs were brilliantly illuminated with rows of lanterns, and looking down Duddell-street steps the illuminations of the same houses on their other side were seen, as were the lanterns which lighted up the front of Messrs. Reiss & Co.'s premises. A fine gas illumination at Messrs. Noronha and Co's, in Zetland street, also showed up well from this neighbourhood. The design was \"Q. V., star, R. I.\" with the figures \"50\" beneath. The Masonic Hall had the square and compasses on its northern face, and the Masonic Club a similar design in red and white framed in blue lamps on the north, and on the south side the monogram V. R. in red lanterns above the entrance. Going along Albert-road the Public Offices were found in darkness, but the top of St. John's Cathedral tower was illuminated with blue lanterns and formed a conspicuous object from many points of view. St. John's Place was almost covered with lanterns, chiefly white and red, which had a most effective appearance standing out from the surrounding darkness from the few points from which they were visible.\n\nGovernment House had on its northern face the motto \"Domine salvam fac Reginam,\" illuminated by gas in globes in 4ft. letters; a 6ft. crown, two 7ft. stars, \"V. R.,\" two masonic stars, a half star of 10ft. diameter in the centre of the top cornice, two half-stars at the corners of the cornice, and a line of jets up the sides and along the top cornice; the effect of all this light artistically arranged was very fine. The other side of Government House was not illuminated, but the roadway, with numerous lanterns dotted about in the trees and on the bank of the Public Gardens and the small oil lamps running along the walls, was like a picture in fairy land. The entrance to Government House was decorated for day effect with imposing shields and trophies of flags. The Royal Artillery Mess in College Gardens was well lit up with lanterns and had a device springing from the roof.\n\nIn Stanley-street Messrs. Rozario and Co. had a gas illumination showing \"R. & Co.\" and the Oriental Dispensary, and Messrs. Dunn, Melbye & Co.'s and Mr. Brandt's establishments were illuminated with lanterns. In D'Aguilar-street Messrs. Gilman and Co. had a transparency over the door with the name of the firm and a large mass of lanterns. Messrs. Grossman and Co.'s hong was also lit up with lanterns, and amongst the occupants of Club Chambers on the opposite side of the street lanterns were hung out in profusion by Messrs. Justus Lembke & Co., Mr. Naudin, the Telephone Exchange, and the Punjom Mining Co. Messrs. Guedes and Co., at the corner of Wellington-street, had red and white lanterns on the top floor. Messrs. D. D. Oflia and Co. had lanterns arranged in the arches of the verandah and in lines below, and Mrs. Heymans, dressmaker, hung out the red ensign grouped with two French flags in the centre, and lanterns along the verandah. A large proportion of the Chinese in this street had also illuminated, amongst them Kwong Shing, contractor, Bing Shing, bootmaker, Chan Hang, printer, Yee Hing, contractor, Ling Atin, contractor, Wah Suo, picture frame maker, Hung Qua, portrait painter, who showed a specimen of his skill in a portrait of the Queen; Pow Chin, contractor, Sang Cheong, and Chee Sing, printer.\n\nIn Lower Wyndham Street the Club Germania was very tastefully illuminated with Japanese lanterns. The entrance was lined out in red and white lanterns, with one bearing the Union Jack in the centre and at the doorway the German and British flags were draped. Above was the red ensign with the German flag on each side. The remainder of the building was covered with white lanterns. The opposite buildings, occupied by Messrs. Raedecker & Co. and the China Mail, showed strings of coloured lanterns on the verandah of the upper storey, and many of the houses further up the hill were similarly decorated, one Chinese house occupied by Europeans, however, having flags and lamps stretching far across the road. The parapet of the tower of St. Paul's College was fringed with coloured lanterns, and from the summit rose a lofty cross formed by white Japanese lanterns, which from its commanding altitude was very conspicuous. Darkness reigned at the corner of D'Aguilar-street, but a very showy and well-designed arch was erected to form the entrance to Glenealy.\n\nThis was of imperial yellow picked out with leaf decorations and with green pediments. Over the archway were the words in scarlet on a blue ground \"Salve Imperatricem,\" and the face of the structure was ornamented with gilt stars and the arms of the three kingdoms on shields. Numerous coloured lanterns were suspended, and when illuminated it proved exceedingly effective. The road up Glenealy was lined throughout with various coloured lanterns, and the rockery in the centre half way up was covered with a pyramidal structure of lanterns. Mr. Bottomley's house and grounds at the foot of Glenealy were most tastefully lit up with lanterns and little glass lamps; the latter glittering among the trees had a very charming effect. Upper Wyndham Street and Hollywood Road were partially illuminated, but without any general design. Messrs. B. Mijran & Co., S. J. David & Co., Messrs. Kaw Hong Take & Co., and Messrs. Mirza Ebrahim & Co. were among the most brilliant, and further on several Parsee firms, Messrs. B. N. Mehta & Co., Tata & Co., Mehta & Co., and others, had quite a large display of lanterns in various designs.\n\n535\n\n9.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-234 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Des Voeus - 1887 [9-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 336143, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-236 - Others - 1887", "page_number": 228, "title": "CO129-236 - Others - 1887", "content_text": "## APPENDIX\n\nThe Hongkong Daily Press, evidently deriving his knowledge of General Sargent's war services from Hart's Army List, arrived at the erroneous conclusion that he was promoted for his services at the Battle of Inkerman. He was recommended for promotion in the words quoted, when serving with his Regiment during the siege, but he did not receive that honour until the fall of Sebastopol, when he was again wounded, as mentioned in Despatches; and in the return called for of officers of the 95th Regiment \"who served with zeal and distinction during the siege,\" General Sargent is shown as the senior of the three Captains named. Colonel Hume was then in command of the Regiment, and in his temporary absence, when it was commanded by Colonel Heyland, an order came for the submission of two names to receive the first two Crosses of the Legion of Honour to be given to the Regiment, and the names sent in were those of Captain Sargent and Private Abbott.\n\nLike the gentlemen who prepared and signed the Address, the Editor of the wharf about a quarter past three, and later his Excellency the Governor, attended by his Aide-de-camp, appeared on the scene. General Sargent, accompanied by Mrs. Sargent and the Misses Sargent, arrived in chairs some time afterwards. On the General's stepping out of his conveyance, the guard of honour presented arms, the Band striking up at the same time, after which three cheers and one, or rather three cheers more, were given for the gallant veteran. After bidding his military and other friends adieu, General Sargent, accompanied by Governor Bowen, General Cameron, and a number of other officers, proceeded to the launch, upon stepping on board of which the shore battery fired a salute. The Band was then marched down to the wharf and formed up at the landing place, and as the launch moved off from the pier, they struck up \"Auld Lang Syne,\" vigorous cheers being given at the same time for the departing veteran. The playing and the cheering continued until the launch had placed a long stretch of water between her and the wharf, the General during all this time standing up, with his face turned towards the pier and his right hand up to his head in military saluting fashion, while the Governor, General Cameron, and other officers remained on the wharf bareheaded, waving adieus to General Sargent. As the launch steamed past, salutes were fired from the Victor Emanuel and the U.S. flagship Trenton. A very large number of the leading and other residents of the various Nationalities in Hongkong had assembled on the mail steamer waiting for the General, the Volunteers being in force in full dress uniform. The upper deck, in fact, was crowded, and it was with difficulty one could push one's way through.\n\n(\"The Address, with list of names and the General's reply, here follows)\n\nHis war services, briefly summarized at the Horse Guards for submission to Her Majesty the Queen by His Royal Highness the Field-Marshal Commanding-in-Chief, in the words published in the Army Estimates for 1875-76, under the head of \"Rewards for Distinguished Services,\" were as follows:--\n\"Served: In the Danubian Campaign of 1854, and in the Crimea; present at the Battle of Alma (wounded and mentioned for determined bravery); repulse of the sortie on the 26th of October; the Battle of Inkerman, where he commanded his regiment and brought it out of action, using a rifle himself with remarkable effect, and was wounded at the fall of Sebastopol (mentioned in Despatches, the Brevet of Major, Medal with three clasps, 5th Class of the Medjidie and Turkish Medal, and Knight of the Legion of Honour).\n\nAlso in the campaign in China in 1860 with the 3rd Foot, including the action of Sinho, in which he commanded the advanced guard, and the taking of Tonghoo; in command of the advanced outposts towards the Taku Forts, and as Allied Commissioner (most favourably mentioned in Despatches, Medal with Clasp and Companion of the Bath).\"\n\nAt the Battle of Alma, the 95th Regiment had six officers killed (including \n* This occurred in a very critical position, where every rifle was of the greatest importance, especially when cut off as he was for a time by another Russian column that occupied the ground whence the 95th had been ordered to charge the enemy down the hill; and his shot-holed great coat and forage cap, (the dress worn by the 2nd Division,) showed how hard the enemy tried to take his life.\n\nPage 212", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-236 - Others - 1887.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 336279, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-236 - Others - 1887", "page_number": 364, "title": "CO129-236 - Others - 1887", "content_text": "## Enclosure 7\n\nand all costs of prosperity.\n\n(Richard)\n\n2.

The foki I sent up came down again and said that the defendant had been searching everywhere, and that someone had robbed him of his woman. I told the foki to go up and ask him to come down to the shop. When he came down, my master was in the shop. He said that he would have to take the foki he followed upstairs to the Police Station. He said that the foki had taken away his wife. A man called LOU YUN CHIN, the master of the shop told the foki to go with the constable. He told me to follow them. When we got to the Station, the Inspector did not ask us long questions, but told defendant to take the foki to the Registrar General's office. Defendant stopped me from going. He and another man chased me away.\n\nBy Mr. WOTTON-My name is LE KWANG CHEE. I manage the shop, and buy and sell for the firm. I am Manager. I am the complainant in this case, not a witness. I bring this charge because the complainant searched my premises without just cause or reason. He did not strike me. He did not break open any doors, or go into any private apartments. The proper name of the foki that was struck is LEUNG PING. He has two wives. None of my fokis' families live upstairs in the shop. I am not the owner of the shop. Three or four of us have shares. LO AMEN, Ta Tun-street, Canton, owns a share. ÚNG KWONG TAI, in the same street, also owns a share. I have a share. I was in the shop all the time that defendant was there. A foki named CHOW FOOK was also there the whole time. When defendant came to the shop he said something to me. I do not know what he said. He spoke in the English language. Nobody in the shop understood him. LOU YUN SHING was not in the shop till defendant came down from upstairs. I did not hear the owner of the shop talking to a Police Constable. I saw them speaking to each other. The Chinese constable now in court was at the shop that day. I did not speak to him. The stout boy, who is in the shop was not struck. I will swear that up till now I did not know why the constables came to my shop. None of them told me that when they came to the shop. The other witnesses do not know what I was going to say to-day. They cannot make any more charges than I have made. There is nothing else to say. To the Court--I did not see defendant searching anywhere. The defendant went upstairs before the Chinese constable. He did not give any reason for coming to our shop.\n\nMr. WOTTON said that, seeing that the last witness was the complainant and that no other charge than the one preferred by him could be brought forward against his client, the case was clearly one for a Civil Court, as the matter was purely one of trespass without any violence whatever, and he would prove that the trespass was justified under the circumstances. The proper course was for the complainant to sue for damages.\n\nThe Bench desired to hear the evidence. LEUNG KING said-On the 24th July, at twelve noon, I was making up some bills at the counter, when the defendant entered the shop with two Chinese constables. He came up to me and, without saying anything, gave me a blow, which I dodged. He tried to hit me again, and I went upstairs. He ran after me with a Chinese constable. They searched the first and second floors of our premises. I asked them what they were searching for, and the defendant said that I had taken away his wife and hidden her in the house. I denied this. Defendant asked me to go to the Station with him.\n\nBy Mr. WOTTON-I don't know Sun Wi Lane. I have lived in Hongkong about a year. I do not know defendant's reason for accusing me of stealing his wife. I will swear that I have never been into any house in Sun Wi Lane. I have never heard of a woman called A-PAT. I never saw that name in writing. I have never been out of our shop between nine and eleven in the morning for the last fortnight. I never saw defendant before he came to our shop. I have not a concubine in Hongkong. I have two wives. Neither of them is here. I have never visited a woman in Hongkong since last April.\n\nTo the Court-Defendant was two or three feet away from me when he hit at me. He aimed at my face. I was behind the counter.\n\nThis was the case for the prosecution. Mr. WOTTON then said that the true facts of the case were that the defendant's wife was missing, and that she had with her his property, over $1,600 in value. He had had reasonable cause to suspect the last witness of having got hold of her, and therefore in company with two other constables went to the shop to see. They made no disturbance, but simply stated the reason of their visit. He (Mr. WOTTON) was appearing on behalf of the defence not so much for the case, which was palpably a made-up affair, but in order to defend the character of his client. He had been in Police Force for nearly seventeen years without a stain on his character.\n\nThe witnesses for the defence were then called. WONG AFAT, P.C. 170, declared-I am a Police constable doing detective duty. I have been in the Force for fourteen years and six months. I have known defendant upwards of ten years. I know his wife's name. It is A-PAT. When she lived with him she lived in Sun Wi Lane. I lived on the first floor of the house she lived in. I have seen last witness before. He is called the stout lad. I remember when defendant found that A-PAT had disappeared that he told me something. In consequence of what he told me, I made enquiries about her. In consequence of information received, I went to the shop with defendant and P.C. 183. There I saw the stout lad. This was on the 24th July. I had reason to believe that A-PAT was in that house. In going into the shop, a woman, called NAN SO, led us.\n\nOn entering the door we saw several people there. When the fat boy, who was behind a counter on the ground floor, saw us, he ran upstairs as fast as he could. When he did this the defendant was at the door of the shop.

In England there are \"grub shops\" in the vicinity of all schools for the sale of fruit, cakes, etc. In Hongkong these commodities are usually sold by street hawkers licensed by the Registrar General and controlled by the Police.\n\nThese hawkers place their stalls in the neighbourhood of every school in the Colony to secure custom before and after school hours and during Recess.\n\nI have seen both the Captain Superintendent of Police and the Registrar General on this subject. The former feels no objection to the continuance of this practice, which has been in vogue as regards this College for thirty years.

Boys, R.E., we are specially indebted to the first officer (applause) for he was the one who volunteered, and from the 17th May to the end of the epidemic he gave up all his time (after the completion of his military duties), all his afternoons and Sundays, in assisting Mr. Crook in the disagreeable work of cleansing and disinfecting the houses. He worked unremittingly at this and also in superintending the detachment of Royal Engineers employed on that work. All who have seen him at work, as well as the Permanent Committee of the Sanitary Board, bear high testimony to his services and conduct. I would also mention Capt. Stewart, Lieut. Molesworth, and Lieut. Kelsall, also of the R.E., who did good work. Capt. Murray gave valuable assistance in the most necessary and useful work of removing those poor creatures from the filthy hovels in Taipingshan to better quarters elsewhere; and in connection with these services I would mention the name of Mr. Mitchell-Innes, who helped a great deal in overcoming many of the difficulties of removal. (Applause.) From the Navy we received eight or ten men, who did very good service. I have left myself very little time to speak of the special services rendered by Mr. May and the police. Mr. May, I think, has especially distinguished himself. (Loud applause.) It might be said that in the position which he held he could hardly have kept back, but from the very first, when he began the work with his own men, up to the end, he was unremitting in his efforts.\n\nHe had the task to organise the work of all the men, superintend the house-to-house visitation, attend to the removal of the sick from Taipingshan, and all the cleansing and disinfecting work, with a great deal of physical labour about it; and the exertion he went through and zeal he displayed are beyond all praise. (Applause.) His perseverance and courage did not for a moment desert him, even when he saw his fellow worker, Capt. Vouy, stricken down. I know myself that the first tram brought him down in the morning, and it was not until late at night that he reached his home again. I am quite sure you will agree with me that he behaved right well. To the members of the force who worked under him we are indebted for very valuable services. To the other volunteers—there were about twenty of them—who responded to the call of the Permanent Committee we are also indebted; they all more or less lent help according to their abilities and the time at their disposal. I would mention especially Mr. H. C. Nicolle, Mr. W. Blaynay, and Mr. Chesney Duncan.\n\nFrom the medical profession we always expect that where there is danger or any human suffering to be alleviated, they will be to the front. That profession has a glorious record of heroic deeds and devotedness to duty, and the members of the profession in Hongkong will not allow that reputation to be in any way lowered or sullied. Surgeon-Major James and Dr. Pauny volunteered at once, and, with Dr. Ayres and Dr. Lowson, left no stone unturned to afford every assistance science could give for the benefit of those who were combatting the disease or to those who had fallen victims to it. I must not forget to mention the Permanent Committee. They had a heavy task. They had to organise the carrying out of a great many of those measures, and they did their work well. Mr. Francis, I know, devoted a great part of his time for several months to this work, and his fellow committee men assure me of the assistance they have received from him. (Applause). I should not like to forget Mr. Crook, who had very disagreeable work to do. He worked hard and earnestly throughout the whole of the epidemic. (Applause) Nor would you wish me to pass over Capt. Hastings. (Applause.) You will no doubt remember that at one time a very serious difficulty arose with respect to the disposal of the dead.\n\nIt taxed the resources of the Sanitary Board for some time, but gruesome as was the task and repulsive as were the details, Captain Hastings stepped into the breach, and, with the assistance of some military and some seamen, he soon overcame all obstacles. Gentlemen, I have just been reminded that I have been very negligent; instead of giving the first place to the ladies I have left them to the last. It is not, however, on this occasion the least nor the lowest. They were also volunteers. This work could not have been required of them, not in the least. Anything outside the hospital was outside their contract, and not only this, but it was extra work, for their hospital duties went on all the time as usual. Yet the services of the Sisters at the Government Civil Hospital were given without a murmur; they obediently volunteered their services to nurse the sick and went forth upon their self-imposed task of mercy in the alacrity and good will and, with the greatest kindness and devotion, day after day nursed those stricken down by the plague. Do you recognise what this meant—tending the sick in the plague hospitals with all its repulsive symptoms and dangers—and yet not for one moment did one of those Sisters flinch; no risk or fear of contagion dismayed them. From first to last they performed their duty admirably. (Applause). They once more proved the truth of the great poet's words, who wrote:-\n\nWhen pain and anguish wring the brow\nA ministering angel thou.\n\nI hope that I have not forgotten anyone, but if I have the Committee you are about to appoint will certainly make up the deficiency. But long as I have detained you I will ask you for two or three minutes' indulgence in order that I may pay tribute to the memory of one who died in your service. Capt. Vesey was justly popular in his regiment. He had, I believe, everything that could make life worth living and enjoyable, and he had intended, I understand, soon to retire to live in his own country and among his old friends. It has been otherwise ordained. He obeyed the call of duty and gave a bright example to his men by the zeal and unflinching energy which he threw into this work. He stopped at the work after he should have retired from it; he was seized by the disease and he died of it. Surely that was not a soldier's death; not the one I think that we or he would have chosen. He no doubt would have preferred to have met his death at the head of his men amid the din of battle, with the shout of victory ringing in his ears to cheer him even in the throes of death itself; instead of that he died on a bed of sickness among strangers in a strange land. Let us hope that ere his gallant spirit passed away the pang of separation was mitigated, the grief of dying among strangers was softened, and he was comforted in his last moments by the thought that he had laid down his life in the service of others. He will live in our memories. We shall require no storied urn or animated bust to remind us of him, for he has erected his own monument in one year's work. But I am sure that you would wish that his services and death should remain recorded here long after we have passed away. Gentlemen, I have done. We honour ourselves in recognising such services as have been rendered to us, and in seeking to honour those to whom our gratitude is due. I know I have interpreted the feelings of this community in saying that we are most anxious to recognise those services and to show by some outward mark our great appreciation of them. I have much pleasure in proposing: That this meeting do resolve that the services rendered to this community during the recent plague by those who assisted are worthy of recognition. (Loud applause.)\n\nMr. E. MACKINTOSH—After the very able and eloquent speech we have heard from the Acting Chief Justice I am sure that there is no necessity for me to detain you at all. The resolution which has been proposed by him I am sure must appeal to the hearts of every one of us, who have of necessity been passing through this great emergency. I think there will be one responsive vote to the motion just proposed. I beg to second it.\n\nThe motion was carried with loud applause.\n\nMr. T. JACKSON—Your Excellency and gentlemen, I am sure we all fully appreciate the very eloquent speech of the mover of the first resolution just made. I am sure there is not one of us who does not thoroughly appreciate the noble band of men who first combatted the plague, for it was then a very serious matter indeed. Speaking for myself I can only remember that the lay volunteers who went into the native town to clear out those pest places were really going into the jaws of death. We have great reason to be thankful that only one—the noble Vesey—died. I am sure that the services of the Naval and Military and of the Public Works Department were...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-264 - Governor Sir Robinson & Public Offices - 1894 [9-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 355534, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-264 - Governor Sir Robinson & Public Offices - 1894 [9-12]", "page_number": 519, "title": "CO129-264 - Governor Sir Robinson & Public Offices - 1894 [9-12]", "content_text": "DESPATCH.\n\nGovernor.\n\nNo.\n\nQuin Zel\n\nDate.\n\n1894\n\n18.

If they had made up their minds to definitely abandon their wretched and deserted nationals to the tender mercies of the Chinese mandarins and the murderous mobs at their command, they could scarcely have gone a better way about attaining that desirable object than they have followed. The inscrutable and cold-blooded apathy with which the two governments named (British and American) have looked upon the unparalleled series of outrages in Szechuen province is already bearing fruit in other parts of China, as we foretold at the time it would.\n\nAlready, in the case of the Kucheng outrages, an effort is being made by the apologists of Chinese ferocity to put the blame upon a secret society—a Vegetarian Society above all others—the Vegetarian being one of the strictest sects which objects to the shedding of all blood! But we lay all the blame for the Kucheng outrages upon the emasculated Diplomatic and Consular services by whom Great Britain and the United States choose to be represented in China. The cup, however, is now about full. We do not think that the great world in Europe and America, which goes into hysterics over the assaults by the Turks upon the wretched Armenians, can longer stand aside and see English ladies butchered by these fiends, whom we have been taught to worship and to treat as the Israelites did the great Molok.\n\nThe time has come when the relations between foreigners and Chinese will have to be put upon a different basis, that at the mouth of the cannon. We think that the time has come when justice shall be no longer asked for, but when vengeance must be exacted. It is no longer a case for diplomacy; it is a case for the gatling gun, the rifle, and the bayonet. All the promises of protection which the Emperor of China and his lying mandarins have made have been broken. The tongue in the cheek, as these promises were given, is exposed, and the ever-present devil of Chinese hatred is encouraged by the attitude of those who are supposed to lend foreigners in China protection. That protection is, like Chinese promises and treaty obligations, a criminal fraud.\n\nThe time has come when the appeal for vengeance for the blood of those murdered women must be carried beyond the deadening walls of Peking, and addressed direct to the great world outside; We think that from the blood of the murdered English women of Kucheng a new race will arise, and the hopeless Incubus which weighs down our present relations with China will be broken for ever. To do this a different policy is needed, the policy which had long since been abandoned in the delusive belief that China is a civilized country. She is more savage to-day than the Barbary States fifty years ago, and her mandarins are to the Bashi Bazouk what the vulture is to the cooing dove.\n\nThe fiendish officials who organized these murders and outrages are wise in their generation; and over again they have shown us that they will only burn and destroy the property of French missionaries, because they know the French Government would exact vengeance for the lives of her children, but they wisely reserve their atrocities and murders for the British and Americans, whose governments stand calmly by and see such crimes committed before their eyes as long as trade flourishes. The ledgers of the mills of Manchester and Massachusetts are of more account than the lives of English and American men and women in China.\n\n### North China Daily News, August 5th\n\nIt is hard to say that the massacre at Wha sang is a direct consequence of the indifference of the foreign Ministers at Peking, but we may well believe that the officials would have prevented such a tragedy had they known that it would be followed by swift punishment. We do not envy Sir Nicholas O'Conor his feelings when he heard the sad news—or the Foreign Office in London, if it is on the Foreign Office and not on the Minister that the blame should be laid.... But whoever organised this massacre knew that the officials would not interfere. A mob dare not collect in China unless with the connivance of the officials; and as the officials see that none of them are ever punished for an anti-Christian outrage, why should they try and prevent it? If our Ministers, who have fleets at their disposal, had insisted on the punishment of the Chêngtu officials, the good of it would have been felt all over the Empire; but instead they consent to one of them being put on the Commission of Enquiry!\n\n### Shangkat Mercury, August 3rd\n\nThis (massacre at Kucheng) is an answer to our Ministers' action jeeringly traced with fingers of blood, and what have our Ministers to say to this? If prompt and decisive steps are not taken to repress murder and lawlessness against foreigners by the native authorities; and the foreign Ministers at Peking, in whose power it is to render present and future protection and bring the perpetrators to justice, decline to fittingly exert themselves, to whom is the foreign citizen in China to appeal for help? For how long is this system of weak-kneed scraping to a number of lying, cowardly Chinese officials at Peking—known as the Tsungli Yamen—who completely gull and convince our Ministerial Representatives to continue?\n\nWe do not usually indulge in invective; we usually avoid doing so, but in face of the Peking demonstration and the murderous reply from Kucheng, where five harmless and good women, living noble lives for the benefit of those who killed them, is a reply which makes the blood of every foreigner boil and his fingers itch to be at the throats of the murderers—and in Heaven's name how long are Europeans in China to submit to it?\n\n## DESCRIPTION OF KUCHENG\n\nKa-Cheng, or \"the ancient field,\" is finely situated in a plain surrounded by mountains. It is an important city in the province of Fukien, with a large population; but not more than two-thirds of the space enclosed within the walls, which are four miles and a half in circumference, is occupied by the habitations of the living. \"It is,\" observes Archdeacon Wolf, \"a necropolis, a city of the dead. Thousands of coffins occupy the spare ground inside the walls, and there are numbers of sheds built to protect them from the rain and from the heat of the sun. The laws of China forbid burial within the city walls, but they do not prohibit this practice of keeping the coffins exposed in the city to public gaze.\"\n\nNo manufactures are carried on, the inhabitants being all engaged in agricultural pursuits; and the city is described as \"a quiet old place, the very people having a sleepy look\" partly, no doubt, owing to their being inveterate opium smokers, which gives \"a cadaverous appearance.\"\n\nThe stream which, in its lower course, becomes a foaming torrent, is, in this upland plain, a peaceful and pretty river, and almost encircles the city. Within the walls is a pagoda dedicated to its honour, and designed to propitiate its wrath. Bishop Alford mentions that it is crossed by “a very lofty bridge of five well-spanned arches, with a covered roof.\" It is utilised for the irrigation of the fields by means of large water-wheels, twenty feet in diameter, which raise the water and discharge it into troughs laid to convey it over the country.\n\nKucheng was, according to the Shanghai Mercury, occupied as a Church of England mission station at the end of 1865. Two catechists went first as pioneers, and hired a room for a preaching chapel.

The spacious hall of the college was filled with scholars and their friends, and amongst those on the platform, in addition to many ladies, were - Hon. J. H. Stewart Lockhart (Colonial Secretary), Hon. F. A. Cooper (Director of Public Works), Hon. E. R. Belilios, Hon. Ho Kai, the Right Rev. Bishop Burdon, and Dr. G. H. Bateson Wright (Head Master).\n\nThe HEAD MASTER read his annual report, which we publish below, after which he said - I have now to relieve my mind of a heavy incubus - a debt of gratitude incurred by myself, the masters, and the boys, first of all for the presence of your Excellency on this occasion, secondly, for the many valuable prizes so lavishly bestowed by persons of all nationalities, and thirdly, for the presence of so many kind friends here. It was rightly remarked at a recent prize distribution that a heavy task is imposed upon your Excellency in expecting you to make speeches year after year at so many schools in the colony, but it is very evident that if the task is heavy your Excellency succeeds in making everyone believe it is a pleasure. (Applause). In a lesser degree a similar remark applies to those of our guests who are not parents of the boys. To many of them there must be a certain amount of self-denial in coming here to cheer the boys and masters by publicly showing their interest in the welfare of this Government Institution. (Applause).\n\nHis EXCELLENCY then distributed the prizes, after which he said - My Lord Bishop, ladies and gentlemen, and members of the Governing Body, this is the fourth occasion upon which I have distributed the prizes from this platform, and the duty has, I confess, been a somewhat difficult one, because I cannot say that I am fully satisfied with the results which accrue to the Government and to the public generally from this institution. Nevertheless, it has given me the greatest possible pleasure to come here this morning to give away so many valuable prizes to so many boys who deserve the prizes they have received. (Applause). Now your popular Head Master, Dr. Wright (applause), knows very well that I am not quite satisfied with the results of this institution, and therefore it is very kind of him to ask me to come here year after year to give away the prizes. It shows that although he holds very strong opinions himself, he is perfectly ready to hear adverse opinions, and to weigh them fairly (applause), and though I may, metaphorically speaking, have occasionally trodden upon his toes, yet he realises that \"to err is human, to forgive divine.\" I hope, therefore, that Dr. Wright will forgive me if I say anything this morning which may displease him. I know that his heart is in his work, I know that his work is very hard and continuous; yet as an honest man, I must speak to-day what I conceive to be the truth. You have heard Dr. Wright's report read. I do not intend to make any comment upon it. To-morrow you will see it in print, and you will also see in print the report of the Examiners of this College. That report seems to me to be a very able and lucid document. (Applause). It reached me on Tuesday evening last, so that the remarks I intend to make this morning are perfectly independent of it, as they were written out on Sunday and Monday last.\n\nI will now proceed to give you a brief summary of the Examiners' Report. They are of opinion that, although there were many cases of conspicuous success in the recent examinations, there was a lamentable amount of weak and inaccurate work. They state that the teaching of colloquial English by means of conversation seems quite neglected. That there were several perfect papers in classes IV, VII, and VIII. That there were 2 or 3 excellent essays from class 1A. That in History and Geography there had been evident cramming. That in Latin only one boy came anywhere near the standard. That in arithmetic a few boys did well, but the average was poor. That Euclid was disappointing. That freehand drawing gave evidence of sound and careful teaching. That in many cases Algebra had been fairly taught. They are of opinion that the boys are pushed on too rapidly. They suggest that more attention, much more, should be given to English, and that the energy and ability of the European staff should be directed more to the Chinese boys. That Chinese masters should not be allowed to teach English, and they are against the separation of Chinese boys from the non-Chinese boys. In conclusion, they bear favourable testimony to the ability of the masters and to the discipline and orderly behaviour of the boys. (Applause). Upon that, I wish to most sincerely congratulate the boys. (Applause).\n\nNow I have to point out that this Governing Body was only appointed by me a year ago, and therefore it was impossible for them to make my changes in the directions they advocate until they had held the first examination of all the boys. As I said two years ago, I am not an educationist, and I really am very glad of it, but I believe I possess some practical common sense, and I want to tell you this afternoon what this College was established for, and to ask you whether it is fulfilling its object. As I told you before, my remarks are absolutely independent; they were written before I received either the report of Dr. Wright or the report of the Examiners.\n\nNow when this College was opened by Sir George Bowen, who, as you know, was one of the most eminent scholars ever sent out from Oxford, he made the following remarks: \"I hope that Victoria College, to be developed at some future date into Victoria University, may endure throughout the great future of China, and may be a source whence will flow the streams of education and knowledge to generations yet unborn.\" He added - ... \"Many of the leading statesmen of England trust with me that a long succession of our Chinese students, after completing their education in England, may have the honour of introducing into their native land the results of the humane and enlightened jurisprudence and of the improved medical science of modern Europe, or may as Surveyors or engineers help to cover the vast Empire of China with a network of railways and telegraphs.\" A year later he averred that Victoria College would render an important service to the neighbouring Empire of China, and would prove a powerful and honourable method of extending British influence.\n\nHave these expectations, ladies and gentlemen, been in any way realised, or are they in course of realisation? In February 1892, when quite a stranger here, after giving away the prizes, I stated that one of the things which struck me most forcibly was that the efforts of the Government to promote the spread of the English language had resulted in a complete failure in making any impression on the Chinese-speaking residents of the Colony. I added that we had been more than fifty years in possession of Hongkong, and yet what was known as an English education was the luxury of the few. Under the then existing system, as under the present, many boys attended school for only a short time, and then they leave school unable to speak English or understand English colloquially, or written English properly. Dr. Wright himself has confirmed this, for in his report for 1892, he said... \n\nPage 433 \n`C.O. 7905`\n`RESP (Recd 15 APR 36)`", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-271 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1896 [1-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 360674, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-272 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1896 [5-9]", "page_number": 165, "title": "CO129-272 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1896 [5-9]", "content_text": "# 百合 \n\nThe grand steps below the Statue, and were playing \"A Life on the Ocean Wave\" as an appropriate quick-step for the Naval Brigade. Led by Commander Tannard and other officers, the bluejackets came bowling along closely compacted, marching in fine form and looking a most business-like contingent with their short sleeves showing their brawny arms, men fit to go anywhere and do anything. They were naturally received with a rousing cheer, and each Jack Tar, as he turned his quid in his cheek, starboarded his twinkling eyes to catch a sight of the bright faces in the Grand Stand. The Marine Light Infantry marched admirably. The spectators were liberal with their applause; not even the Chinese Submarine Miners were allowed to go past without an encouraging cheer. The improvement shown by these men, and by the Hongkong Regiment, was matter of general comment, and it was a surprise to many old residents to know that there was a Chinese contingent in active service in the Colony. \"Rule Britannia\" was the march past for the Marines, whose neat appearance in white was very taking to the eye. In stature these men looked tall, but the palm in this respect was carried off by the Royal Artillery whose physique and general appearance earned for them the encomiums of the military experts. The whole of the Artillery (not forgetting the Field Battery under the command of Lieut. Chapman, and the Maxim Gun Company, under Capt. C. Murray Adamson) and the Royal Engineers went past to the \"British Grenadiers.\" To the regimental march-past, the swarthy North Indian warriors who compose the Hongkong Regiment passed the saluting base in soldierly style. With smart officers thoroughly in earnest with their work, it is difficult to see how this regiment, each man of which is a born warrior, could help developing into one of the smartest native battalions in the army of the Queen-Empress. They bore themselves well in the trying ordeal through which they passed yesterday, and did not compare badly for steadiness under arms with their British brethren-in-arms. Though they came last, the Riflemen, undoubtedly, carried off the palm for marching. The Rifle Brigade has always been distinguished, amongst other things, for its short quick-step, and it looked almost as if the bandmaster was endeavouring to make it quicker than ever, so rapidly did the eight hundred men on parade speed past the saluting base. The tune was \"Ninety-five.\" Each Company moved as one man, the rhythm of movement being superb. The only regrettable feature was that they were in summer khaki instead of review dress and accoutrements. This concluded a memorable military spectacle; and no sooner had the tramp of the soldiers and the last notes of the music died away than the mighty crowd burst into the enclosure to gaze upon the features of the British Queen.\n\n## The following is the military parade state in detail.\n\n| | Officers | British | Others | Total |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Royal Artillery | 5 | 183 | | 188 |\n| Hongkong Artillery | 3 | | 80 | 83 |\n| Royal Engineers | 4 | 60 | | 64 |\n| 1st Batt.

There is a story in circulation, that a distinguished member of the local Police Force had a narrow escape of falling through the Grand Stand. Of course, the ubiquitous photographer was on the spot, perhaps it would be more correct to speak in the plural number, for their name was 'legion.'\n\nThe Committee of Management deserve to be unreservedly congratulated on the excellence of their arrangements. There was no hitch in the whole proceedings; no better accommodation could have been provided than the Grand Stand, although those who witnessed the ceremony and military review from the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank and the adjacent verandahs appear to think that the Grand Standers had by no means the best of it. The Colony is to be congratulated on a handsome addition to its public statues and monuments, for whatever difference of opinion may exist about the advantages of a standing figure to one encased in a bronze chair, there can be no two opinions regarding the likeness to Her Majesty and the artistic qualities of the statue itself.\n\n## TELEGRAM FROM THE GOVERNOR TO MR CHAMBERLAIN\n\nThe following is a copy of the telegram forwarded by H.

THE GOVERNOR\n\nOn Saturday morning, 29th Jan., His Excellency the Governor, Sir William Robinson, G.C.M.G., laid the foundation stone of the new reformatory at Causeway Bay, the funds for the building of which have been provided by Hon. E. R. Belilios, C.M.G. The site seems to be a most suitable one, being on a spur of Morrison Hill and close to Kennedy's stables and the new cotton mill. The ceremony took place in a watshed, which was prettily decorated with flags. There was a large attendance, amongst those present being, in addition to His Excellency the Governor, Hon. E. R. Belilios, and a large number of ladies, Hon. J. H. Stewart Lockhart (Colonial Secretary), Hon. W. M. Goodman (Attorney-General), Hon. R. M. Rumsey, Hon. F. H. May, Hon. R. D. Ormsby, Hon. J. J. Bell-Irving, Hon. Ho Kai, Hon. Wei A. Yuk, Mr. W. Chatham, Dr. Bateson Wright, Captain Phillips, A.D.C., Mr. N. J. Ede, Mr. J. R. Mudie, Mr. M. N. Vandrawalla, etc.\n\nHon. E. R. Belilios said - Your Excellency, I esteem it a privilege as well as a pleasure to be here to-day to take part in what must necessarily be one of the farewell ceremonies of your long and successful administration. (Applause.) It has never, at least in my rather lengthened experience, fallen to the lot of any of your Excellency's predecessors to lay the foundation stone of a new and useful institution in the seventh year of a continued residence in the colony. That alone is an interesting fact; it gains, however, in interest by being coupled with the circumstance that this is the second educational institution of which you will have laid the foundation stone, -(applause)- the first of which you have seen for some years satisfactorily working. For my own part, I am glad to say that the suggestion made to me by my honourable friend the Colonial Secretary that I might assist in the work met my instant approbation. I always have been an earnest advocate of education. I believe most fully in its humanising and elevating effect, and I would like to see it placed within the reach of the poorest, a consummation I hope some day to witness. There are now, however, many children who still wallow in the mire of ignorance, and it is from them that the ranks of the criminals are mainly recruited. To restrain and deter from crime we are compelled to support a huge and costly gaol, where the social outlaw has to be taught that he cannot commit crime with impunity. Victoria Gaol is, however, hardly the place where a Chinese criminal can be reformed, and, unfortunately, the youthful offender against the law too often emerges from its cells more hardened than when he entered. He suffers contamination from association with older and more depraved criminals. This is almost unavoidable under the present system, it being impossible to segregate all the criminals, though the discipline is excellent so far as it can be carried out. Years ago a reformatory for boys was a necessity, but it did not then appear urgent. The good fathers of the Italian Mission supplied the want, as far as lay in their power, for many years, but the requirements have now grown beyond the means of the Mission institution at West Point, and the Government having agreed to provide a suitable site, I have been only too happy to supply the funds for the erection of the building. (Applause) I feel sure it will meet a want, and I sincerely trust it will be the means of saving many a lad from persevering on the downward and easy road. It is a duty we owe to civilization no less than to poor humanity, to show to the people of China that we provide for the reformation of the young as well as for the punishment of the adult law-breaker - that under the Union Jack mercy tempers justice. (Applause.) Your Excellency, with this trowel and mallet I beg you kindly to lay the stone of the proposed reformatory. (Applause.)\n\nMr. Belilios handed His Excellency a handsome silver trowel and a blackwood silver-mounted mallet with which to perform the ceremony. The mallet bears the crest of His Excellency, and the following inscription is engraved on the trowel - Presented to His Excellency Sir William Robinson, G.C.M.G., to lay the foundation stone of the Reformatory, a gift of the Hon. E. R. Belilios, C.M.G., to the colony. Hongkong, 29th January, 1898.\n\nThe stone bears the following inscription:- \"Foundation stone laid by H.E. Sir William Robinson, G.C.M.G., Governor, 29th January, 1898. Building presented to the colony by the Hon. E. R. Belilios, C.M.G.\"\n\nHis Excellency, after laying the stone, said - Ladies and gentlemen, I have much pleasure in pronouncing this stone to be well and truly laid. This is the last public act which I shall perform before leaving Hongkong, and it is a most pleasant one to me and a most interesting one to the colony. I did not expect Mr. Belilios would make such a long and eloquent speech as he has done in asking me to lay the foundation stone of what will hereafter be known as the Belilios Reformatory. (Applause.) As you know, the essential functions of these institutions are for the better training of juvenile offenders. They are institutions of comparatively recent growth and are the result of humane endeavour to rescue children from evil courses already embarked upon. To be effective, industrious habits must be engendered in these institutions, and a means must be given to the inmates of earning an honest livelihood. (Applause.) The mere fact of this site having been selected near the large cotton mill being built in the immediate neighbourhood seems to point to the introduction into this new reformatory when it is erected of some species of work connected with cotton spinning. But, ladies and gentlemen, you will doubtless want to know how it is that Mr. Belilios is mixed up with this affair. What he said was not exactly a correct statement; he is very shy and timid and refrains from giving himself laudation. (Applause.) We found the building at West Point was thoroughly unsuitable for a reformatory. We patched and heightened the walls and put the Right Rev. Bishop Piazzoli and the Italian Fathers in charge, but still we could make nothing of it, so we decided to build a reformatory. Mr. Belilios came to me and said \"Sir William, we must have a proper reformatory. I will give you $12,000 towards the building.\" Now, ladies and gentlemen, we have the Belilios scholarships, the Belilios medals, a Belilios school, which is the finest school in the colony, and soon we shall have a handsome Belilios Reformatory. (Applause.) Ladies and gentlemen, I consider the colony is deeply indebted to Mr. Belilios - a debt which can never be extinguished. (Applause.) The name of Belilios will be handed over in Hongkong to a grateful posterity. It will be my last public act on Monday to sign a despatch as Governor of this colony, to be sent to the Secretary of State requesting that he will bring this most generous and noble gift to the knowledge of Her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen. (Applause.) I ask you now to give three cheers for Mr. and Mrs. Belilios and family.\n\nAfter the cheering had ceased, Mr. Belilios said - Ladies and gentlemen, a hearty good cheer for His Excellency the Governor. We are sorry that he is leaving us, and we hope to meet him in the old country as hale and hearty as he is to-day.\n\nThree cheers and a \"tiger\" were heartily given and the proceedings concluded.\n\nPage 110\n9.07\nof the 31st January 1898.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-281 - Governor Sir Robinson & Acting Governor Major Gen Black - 1898 [1-3].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 366760, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-283 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black - 1898 [5-6]", "page_number": 169, "title": "CO129-283 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black - 1898 [5-6]", "content_text": "# AV \nཔ་ཡ༤/༡ \n\nTo obtain hospitals, but this 110, however, 16 later of plaque \nA d Lu all - por, Konger Is a Hompiital \nii de them and \nA Tung before Ennodai to kremety \nTowns for biler want, \nJ Convenience of Clacrificaton, to that \nA helûal hemchen \nCospitals for ineinComent \notter Um por amily \n\n187 \n\npal comms; \nRom Langenr \nripure ched \nkom Regisian Gal \nfrom Po Leung kink \nKom Macao trepiles. \nApplica personally \n\n9 \n16 \n185 \nAut of C nation Fan Comm \n87 Jur duly 55.5′′ per \n2.

The Harbarovsk, about a mile and a half ahead, was firing at him from her stern gun. The Borgo at prodigious speed (nearly 30 knots) had circled round and was coming down on his port bow, whilst the three torpedo boats were sweeping round for his stern and quarters.\n\nRunning on to get out of the fire from the Wivern he crossed from her port quarter over to starboard, and, in so doing, crossed the bows of the third Russian, one that had been making for the Wivern's starboard quarter. She had been masked from him by the Wivern. Seeing her companion successful in striking the Wivern, she had turned to port, and almost immediately afterwards 36 shot across her bows out of the blaze of the Wivern's fire. The Russian promptly blew up 36, striking her nearly amidships.\n\nAnxious to be rid of his most formidable antagonist, the Borgo, Naylor put his helm hard a starboard, and turning to port, keeping his search light steadily on the Destroyer, went at her full speed, raining a hail of shot at her. The Borgo gallantly responded, and they approached one another with frightful rapidity, their combined speed being 40 knots. The Destroyer had her funnels, signal-mast, conning-tower and guns knocked away; suddenly she plunged downwards, about 600 feet from the stern of the Wivern; her bows had been shorn clean off by a heavy shell from the foremost gun of the Wivern.\n\nBy the wheel to port of the Wivern, the three torpedo boats, with a speed of 16 knots, had been thrown further aft, and the one making for the port quarter brought her further forward on the port beam. Before the Wivern altered course after the destruction of the Borgo, the one on the port beam and the one astern rushed in close enough to fire their torpedoes into the port beam, and under the port quarter of the Wivern with fatal precision. The one abeam of the Wivern was sunk by her fire as she was backing off and turning to starboard.\n\nSoper, in 36, had seen the approach of the one on the port quarter; spinning round to starboard he ran at and torpedoed her, but too late to prevent her firing. The Revel blazed away with his three guns, and Leslie with his one three-pounder. The Revel had the superiority in speed, but not enough to make it safe for her to attempt to manoeuvre, at the distance to which they had now approached, Leslie going 20 knots and the Revel 24. Both fired their torpedoes simultaneously, about 80 or 100 feet apart, with magnificent precision, ripping one another's port sides out, and sinking in a whirlpool of steam almost alongside each other.\n\nThus ended the battle of Sulphur Channel, a veritable combat of Kilkenny cats. A solitary second-class Russian torpedo boat, with her funnel spouting fire from bullet holes, steamed off to the Harbarovsk. Whether any Russians from the vessels destroyed were saved we never learned. Seven only of our men survived, engineers, Morgan and Hunt; \n\n## In Victoria about midnight a fire broke out in Winglok Street\n\npart of the Fire Brigade were quickly on the spot. Two other fires breaking out across the street, it became apparent that they were the work of incendiaries. Bands of marauders also appeared, many of whom were armed and began looting. Mr. Hill, the Superintendent of Police, very properly and promptly ordered the Police, under Inspectors Hennessey and Kemp, to fire on them. Nineteen men were killed before order was restored. It being quite clear that the Fire Brigade could not cope with the conflagration, after some delay powder was procured and the services of two Sergeants of Engineers were called upon. The end houses abutting on Morrison Street and Hillier Street were blown up. All four blocks between these streets, from Bonham Strand to the Praya, were burnt or blown up. The loss of life was considerable. Robberies took place in several parts of the town. Burnslop, the residence of R. M. Dray, one of the wealthiest men in the Colony, known to contain much valuable plate, race cups, &c., and jewellery, was broken into, robbed and burnt. Dray was cut down and disabled on leaving his bedroom. Queensclere, belonging to the Hon. E. R. Delilios, was also robbed. Mount Austin Barracks, Ravenshill, and Ball's Court were robbed and set fire to. Nine men were shot at the latter place by the Police from No. 7 station. Attempts to break into Wong Ling's and Kuhn's stores in Queen's Road were frustrated, and several of the robbers killed. Inspector Mann, in the Eastern District, could only keep order by shooting freely.\n\n## THE BATTLE OF DEEP WATER BAY.\n\nAt 1:30 a.m., as arranged with the Commodore, General White (expecting the diversion by the Navy at 2), finding no other attacks developed, sent orders for Hush and Rox's men, with Farey's engineers and Harrington's Maxims, to move at 2 o'clock, the two last to come down by the Wanchai Gap Road. The order had been anxiously expected, and at 2 the men started with a cheer, the Maxims swinging and bounding along with almost as many men on the heel ropes to check them as on the drag ropes. Hush's men were first past Pokfulam, down by the Reservoir Road, with Rox's hard behind them.\n\nPassing through Aberdeen at a run, it was 3 a.m. before they first felt the enemy in the wood at the junction of the Wanchai and Aberdeen Roads, and a fierce combat took place. The enemy being constantly reinforced was driving the two companies of West Kents backwards on Aberdeen, till the Maxims getting into action and vol... \n\n- 13- \n## Page 14\n## Page 16", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-288 - Public Offices & Others - 1898.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 369431, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-288 - Public Offices & Others - 1898", "page_number": 19, "title": "CO129-288 - Public Offices & Others - 1898", "content_text": "# \n- 18 - \n\nwounded belonged to our forces that retreat of the Victoria Emanuel and Plover, with **ed**; they may have been killed outright, all the private practitioners, except Dr or been trampled to death subsequently. Ledman who was with his battery (Volunteers), and the Government Medical Staff received and dressed the wounded as the ambulances and chairs arrived; all public chairs being utilized and numbers of private chair-coolies requisitioned. The stream of our own wounded had been trickling down since about 1.30 a.m., quickly filling the Government Civil Hospital, after which the City and Masonic Halls, the Supreme Court House, the floors of the Banks and Clubs, and empty store and auction rooms adjacent, were turned into receiving wards.\n\nThe nursing staff was of course totally inadequate; the few trained nurses from the Government Civil Hospital alone could be depended on by the Doctors operating. The sisters from both convents, Italian and French, did all that was possible for untrained women, rendered hysterical by the ghastly sights of suffering and mutilation surrounding them. The clergy of all denominations worked like men. Wives attended to their husbands, and many a poor widow ministered to the very men who had been instrumental in making her children fatherless. Several ladies who had attended Dr Rivett's ambulance classes proved how capable an instructor he had been.\n\nCrimean experiences were somewhat similar, the coincidence was significant. There was some difficulty at first not only with the coolies but with the contractors and head men, whose stock of tools were required. Mackie, however, whose men (Indian Police) collected them, were supported by 50 of the Asiatic Artillery with a gun, offered them their choice, i.e., to work or hang after one of the principal contractors had been led out under a lamp-post, with a rope round his neck, all difficulties vanished. The gangs had to be guarded, however, both whilst going to the valley and at work. Sentries were posted in suitable spots overlooking the work, with orders to shoot all attempting desertion. The scene in the valley, however, quickly made the coolies and head-men absolutely submissive. They recognised that human life was cheap. Liberal pay was promised them, $1.50 a day each man, and almost the last act of the British Government was the payment of these wages on the spot to the men by Mr Brown, the Colonial Treasurer.\n\nWe had lost three guns, two seven-pounders, and one Maxim destroyed. The nine of the enemy's guns taken were useless to us, the supply of ammunition captured with them being but small, and we had plenty of spare guns - more guns than men to man them--they were therefore burst and the ammunition destroyed.\n\n## FINAL DEFENCE PREPARATIONS--DO OR DIE\n\nAt a hastily convened meeting of the Legislative Council at 7 a.m., Martial law was proclaimed--the expulsion of aliens decided upon, and the enrolment of all British subjects capable of bearing arms between the ages of 17 and 55, as a Home Guard, determined on.\n\nExclusive of the 165 prisoners taken on the beach--the unwounded amongst whom were lodged in Gaol, all offenders against Municipal regulations and debtors being released, -630 wounded Russians were removed with our own wounded under the superintendence of Dr Rivett, P.M.O., and the Army Medical Staff. Dr McBean, R.N., Deputy Inspector General, Surgeons Day and Murston, R.N., and the surgeons of the Corps.\n\nAt one stage of the proceedings the Hon. Member for the Chamber of Agriculture endeavoured to give notice of a question, when he was angrily interrupted by two other members saying, as well as could be understood (for it is needless to say the proceedings were never reported, one reporter, young Rook of the Daily Mail, was on his back in the valley with a bullet in his brain, and the others were with their Corps)--that deeds, not questions were the order of the day--the other that, according to May's Parliamentary Procedure, page 377, notice of questions could not properly be given at an extraordinary meeting. The Governor, however, promptly stopped all squabbling, and in a few manly and statesmanlike words pointed out how unworthy and futile were such puerile bickerings, in face of the treacherous and crushing danger that had burst on the Colony, and that in all human probability they would never again all meet in that Chamber (they never did, old Jones Blackfoot died gloriously in his boots next day at Pokfulum)-that it became all British men, and especially Hon. Members, the heads and leaders of the Colony, to stand shoulder to shoulder and face the common enemy, one and undivided- to die if necessary fighting overwhelmed possibly, but not dishonoured.\n\nThe Europeans from the Peak, Kowloon and outlying districts had come crowding down, across, and into the town, and were housed in the upper floors of the Banks, in the Hotels, Government, Head-Quarter and Bank Houses, the Government offices, the European shops in Queen's Road, and were generally collected about the centre of the town. Women of all creeds crowded the Churches, and on their knees with streaming eyes prayed the old prayer to the God of Battles to shield their dear ones-that this cup might pass from them. All the Police from the outlying districts, except Tsim-tsa-tsui, were recalled.\n\nThe British elected a committee of seven to organize the Home Guard. J. J. Francis (the lawyer) chairman, Geo. Soldwell, Natty Deed, Thos. Jackson (you remember the quaint old Ulsterman, Chief Mate), David Hillies, Tanby, and Mitchell (Secretary)-not that the Secretary did much writing, but in the old days in Hongkong no committee was complete without Mitchell as Secretary. Old Volunteers turned out quickly. The limbs of the law did a lot of riflemen from the Rifle Association and elsewhere. Godfrey Laster, another lawyer and old Volunteer, got together quite a number of gunners. Marshall and Gosborne, both ex-volunteers, took to it kindly, coming in at the head of the staff of their respective offices. As soon as \n\n- 19 - \n\nThe old man fairly roused them, and on his maskee May's Parliamentary Procedure, they gave him a cheer, led heartily by the cantankerous members. The two Chinese members spoke out also in honest, straightforward fashion. They owed all they had to British rule and fairplay; under British rule they had lived, and under British rule, if the time had come, they would die; and they would sway their countrymen right as far as lay in their power. So ended the last Council.\n\nTo every man upon this earth death cometh soon or late.\n\nAnd how can man die better than fighting 'gainst fearful odds,\n\nFor the ashes of his fathers, and the temples of his Gods.\n\nFor the tender mother that dandled him to rest,\n\nAnd for the gentle wife with his baby at her breast.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-288 - Public Offices & Others - 1898.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 369435, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-288 - Public Offices & Others - 1898", "page_number": 23, "title": "CO129-288 - Public Offices & Others - 1898", "content_text": "## THE FINAL ASSAULTS.\n\nAbout 2 p.m. the look-outs reported the departure of the Dordogne and Heungshun escorted by the Seaborg (which had returned with the French fleet) by the Shingshimoon Pass, round D'Aguilar and thence North, past the Ninepins, evidently bound to Mirs Bay. At 4 p.m. the three men-of-war assembled off Tytam Head, the Eclaireur escorting her prizes, the Verona and Sungkiung, the two latter being sent off to S.E. Bay, Lama Island. The Triomphante and Descartes proceeded slowly Westwards. The Eclaireur entered Tytam Bay, preceded by two torpedo boats, the first about three-quarters of a mile and the second about half-a-mile ahead of her. The Eclaireur stopped about three-quarters of a mile from the entrance to the Inner Harbour.\n\nIf they had contented themselves with watching the enemy from the redoubt on the hill, they would have done well, but unfortunately opening fire with their Nordenfelts on the hill, though they sank the other boat, they unmasked their battery. The Eclaireur at once rained a shower of shell on them, knocking the redoubt and the Nordenfelts to pieces, and killing half the men before they had time to run down the hill.\n\nAbout 2 p.m. the Hankow and Canton were seen to come out of the Capsuimoon pass, flying the British flag, and shape the usual course as if for Hongkong, and directly the loading boat rounded the point, going dead slow, she was blown to pieces by the fire of the Swift and Rattler. The Tommy Atkins, a military launch, was sent to where the wreckage floated and fortunately rescued both Captains Lloyd and Spencer Wilde, some dozen of the prizes' crews and a few Chinese were also picked up. The Hankow's passengers had been landed at Capsuimoon.\n\nCol. Yardhill was, however, so much impressed with the value of the redoubt on the hill that he sent De Horsey out another Nordonfelt in the evening, with orders to plant it just below the crest, on the West face, where it commanded the Shankiwan Road.\n\nThe Triomphante and Descartes, steaming slowly West, stopped between Round Island and Aplichau, and, firing at the new earthworks on the crests of the hills above Deep Water Bay, had their fire promptly returned by the 40-pounders in position, the same fatal mistake as was made at Tytam. Our guns were no match for those of the ironclad and cruiser. In half an hour four of our guns were dismounted, and the labour of the day—as far as the battery was concerned—wasted. Beyond knocking away some of the spars of the ironclad no material damage was done to her. The Descartes continued her attention to the guns at the Hacienda, dismounting both—but suffered somewhat herself from the plunging fire until the guns were silenced, part of her upper works and port bulwarks being knocked away, and damage was done to her quick-firers. Fernside, Genora, Kellett's Spur, and the houses on the East side of Mount Kellett were knocked into shapeless ruins.\n\nGeneral White ordered the guns above Deep Water Bay to be retired, otherwise every one would have been dismounted. The battery further East, commanding the Tytam Road, was sheltered from sea fire. Proceeding West outside Aplichau, the ships disabled three of the guns at Pokfolum Gap and demolished the stone wall across the road. One gun at Victoria Gap was dismounted, and the Tram station, which had escaped the Harbaroesk's fire, destroyed. It must be confessed that the ships made excellent practice, whilst great part of our fire was wasted. Our casualties amounted to six officers killed—of the Regulars two, both R.A. (Capt. Rawford and Lt. Hatthews), and four of the Home Guard—and 40 men, gunners and Home Guard. Wounded, 4 officers of the Home Guard, amongst them poor Cæsar Rawkins, and 27 men Regulars and Home Guard.\n\nIt had a very depressing effect on the Defenders; there was no element of personal strife, it was simply an Artillery duel in which we were hopelessly overmatched. Our losses were before our eyes, and the smell of blood in our nostrils. We could not see how, or if the enemy suffered, to cheer us up. That evening was pretty wretched; there were some attempts at jollity here and there; as you know the average Hongkong man of our day was cheery in the jaws of death—through which most of us passed in the next few hours—still we were so intermingled, the married men with the single, that for the most part the light-hearted were swamped by the heavy-hearted. Not that the latter fought one whit the worse next day—possibly better, though that could not be said either, where all did so well. It is impossible to deny, however, that the man whose hat covers his family can, and in some cases does, face inevitable death more cheerfully, than the man who leaves behind those that are dearer than life. The General, 'the soldiers, whose duty 'tis to die,' and some youngsters, got up a few songs; but on the whole the waiting was pretty wretched.\n\nThere was plenty of room in the Hospitals; already many of the cots and mattrasses had been vacated, and a temporary cemetery established in the West Borks parade ground, along the retaining wall of the Cathedral compound and below Beaconsfield House. As soon as it was dark we set to work repairing our earthworks, and taught by experience threw an embankment across the Pokfolum Road, in lieu of the stone wall destroyed, the splinters from which had been most destructive. Sungahs, or small redoubts, were thrown up on spurs, below the batteries on the hills.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-288 - Public Offices & Others - 1898.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 370555, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-290 - Governor Sir Blake - 1899 [1-4]", "page_number": 156, "title": "CO129-290 - Governor Sir Blake - 1899 [1-4]", "content_text": "## DESPATCH\n\nAs is aware, the injury to Commerce consequent on the infern... is of great importance to the trade of Hongkong and that Mr Chamberlain hopes that it will be pressed on the Chinese Govt, when the occasion seems opportune for such representations.\n\n## NO. 5497\n**(Subject.)** New Territory.\n\nas soon as the minister Ackin' shall have arranged for demarcation of boundary.\n\n## (Minutes.)\nSevere people below this TRO. suggest that we should telegraph & ask C.

The spacious building was filled with a devout congregation, and the proceedings were of a solemnity and impressiveness that affected all worshippers and helped them to realise the importance of the great event. Low Pontificial Mass was celebrated by his Lordship Bishop Pozzoui, assisted by Monsignor P. de Maria, Rev. L. Robert, and Rev. Father Noval, while the Rev. G. M. Spada and the Rev. A. Placzek were Masters of Ceremonies, the former acting for the clergy and the latter for the congregation. The order of service was as follows:\n\n* Coronation March, Rich Eilenberg, by members of the Sociedade Philharmonica, conducted by Prof. F. Gonzales.\n* Mass of the Day with collect for the Elected King.\n* During the Mass the following music was rendered:\n\t+ Veni Creator, German Core, by the Cathedral choir and friends.\n\t+ Andante Religioso, Francis Thome, by the Sociedade Philharmonica.\n\t+ Sanctus, Perosi, by the Cathedral choir.\n\t+ Largo e Mesto, Beethoven, by the Sociedade Philharmonica.\n* During the benediction of the Blessed Sacrament, the following hymns were sung:\n\t+ O Salutaris, Webb, by the Cathedral choir.\n\t+ Te Deum, Gregorian, by the choir and clergy.\n\t+ Tantum Ergo, G. Mercanti, by the Cathedral choir.\n\t+ Laudate Dominum, by the choir and friends.\n* The service closed with the singing of \"God save the King,\" by the choir, clergy, and congregation, accompanied by the band of the Sociedade Philharmonica.\n\n## THE JEWISH SERVICE\n\nAt the special service held in the Ohel Leah Synagogue, the following prayer was offered after the sermon and the opening of the Ark:\n\nAlmighty God and everlasting King! From the place of Thy habitation Thou lookest upon all the indwellers of the earth. By Thee kings reign and princes rule. Thou establishest their throne, and in Thy hand is their glory and their might.\n\nPrayer for the King and the Royal Family,\n\nMay He who giveth salvation unto kings and dominion unto princes, Whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, Who delivered His servant David from the hurtful sword, Who maketh a way in the sea and a path in the mighty waters - may He bless, protect and exalt our Sovereign Lord, King George, Our Gracious Queen Mary, Alexandra, the Queen Mother, Edward, Prince of Wales, and all the Royal Family.\n\nMay the Supreme King of Kings in His mercy preserve the King, guard him, and deliver him from all trouble, sorrow and hurt. May He make his enemies fall before him, and in whatsoever he undertaketh may he prosper. May the Supreme King of Kings in His mercy put a spirit of wisdom and understanding into his heart and into the hearts of all his counsellors, that they may uphold the peace of the realm, advance the welfare of the nation, and deal kindly and truly with all Israel. In his days and in ours may Judah be saved and Israel dwell securely; and may the Redeemer come unto Zion. O that this may be His will, and let us say, Amen.\n\nThe Ark was then closed.\n\n## THE PARSEE SERVICE\n\nAlmost all the members of the Parsee Community were present at their Club premises at the corner of Elgin and Shelley Streets at 4 p.m. in the afternoon for a religious service. A special prayer was recited by the Priest, the whole congregation remaining standing. The following is the translation of the prayer from Gujarati:\n\n1. Blessed be the name of Holy Abura-Mazda! Almighty Abur-Mazda, Holy, Heavenly, Pure; give ear, we beseech Thee, to the prayers of Thy Mazdayaçnian servants, and satisfy us with Thy Mercy.\n2. Receive our heartfelt thanks, O Almighty God, that Thou art pleased this day to set a peerless crown upon the head of our Gracious Sovereign, King Emperor George.\n3. Vouchsafe to him, Merciful Creator, Thy majesty. Thou hast set Thy servant, George, upon the throne of his fathers. Thou knowest his heart, that it has ever been his desire and happiness to seek the welfare of his people and to execute Thy laws in the land.\n\nBehold, the day hath come that we looked for; we have found, we have seen it, the day on which he has been anointed King, when the crown of sovereignty has been placed upon his head, the day when he lifted up his hand to heaven and took the oath, that he would rule over his people according to the Statutes of the realm, and cause Law and Justice in Mercy to be executed.\n\nTherefore we have come into Thy house, and worship toward Thy holy temple. Hearken unto the voice of our cry, our King and our God, for unto Thee do we pray. May it please Thee to bless our Sovereign Lord the King: O God, save the King! May the King live! May the King live for ever! May Thine arm strengthen him to bear the heavy yoke of governance.\n\nEven as Thou hast set a diadem of fine gold upon his head, so crown him with honour and glory, with mercy and loving-kindness. Anoint him with the oil of gladness. Vouchsafe unto him the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of knowledge and fear of Thee, so that all the nations that dwell beneath his sceptre, the sceptre of righteousness, may abide in peace and tranquillity.\n\nPour out the riches of Thy heavenly goodness upon Queen Mary, who standeth at the right hand of the King in gracious majesty. Verily on her tongue is the law of kindness. Her eyes are upon the poor and upon those that are bruised in spirit. Her heart goeth out to those that are stretched upon the bed of languishing. Give her the desire of her heart, and do not withhold the request of her lips. Bless the Queen Mother, Heir Apparent, and all the members of the Royal House.\n\nWithdraw not, we beseech Thee, Thy loving-kindness from this realm. Shield the indwellers thereof. Remove from them pestilence, sword, famine and sorrow. Spread the days when peace will flourish throughout the world, when the earth will be full of the knowledge of Thee, as the waters cover the sea.\n\nGrant unto our Sovereign Lord the King, the spirits of heavenly piety, as also Thy spirit of wisdom for his guide and Thy arm for his strength, so that in his godliness, and in his unfained spirit of wisdom and strength, Justice, Truth, Peace and Love may flourish in his days to promote the well-being, solidarity and unity of his various subjects of all classes and creeds.\n\n4. We pray unto Thee, O Merciful Mazda, to bestow upon our illustrious Sovereign splendour and glory, health, vigour and victoriousness of body, wealth which may bring all prosperity, a long line of descendants gifted with intelligence, a long life and the best, brilliant and glorious life of the Pious.\n\n5. We beseech Thee, O Bountiful Giver of all Good, to be favourable to our ruler, and to bestow of Thy bounty upon his head the full blessings of the annihilation of famine and pestilence wherever prevailing in his wide dominions, and to endow, in his vast Empire, the happiness and cheer of fruitful peace and gladsome plenty.\n\n6. We supplicate Thee, O Merciful Creator, to crown the fulness of his days with the fulness of Thy divine blessings, grace and love, and receive our humble prayers, O Almighty God, that those and all Thy other gifts may be long continued, and crown him with immortality in the life to come.\n\n7. Listen, we pray Thee, to this earnest invocation of Thy servants of the Zoroastrian faith in Hongkong, and grant us our wishes.\n\n8. Merciful and Gracious Abura-Mazda, we again beseech Thee to give ear to our prayers and to extend Thy divine blessings, favour and love, out of Thy bounteous grace, upon our Gracious Queen Mary.\n\n[June 22, 1911]\n\n## THE PUBLIC MEETING\n\nThe public meeting to endorse the telegraphic addresses to be sent to Their Majesties took place in the City Hall shortly after noon. As was to be expected, the building was taxed to its utmost, all sections of the community being represented in the large gathering. Among those present were the American Delegates from Manila, who were accompanied by Captain Agg, K.O.Y.L.I. Sir Francis Piggott, Chairman of the Coronation Committee, on the entrance of His Excellency, proposed that the Governor preside over the meeting.\n\nHis Excellency then said: - Ladies and gentlemen, - To-day in both hemispheres, in every part of the world, and in every sea where the British flag flies, the subjects of our King are uniting to do homage and to wish him prosperity in his Coronation. They testify their loyalty and reverently and earnestly express their hopes that his reign may be long, prosperous and peaceful. To-day the Crown of his ancestors - that Crown which is the symbol of unity of the Empire - will be placed upon his head in the historic hall where a long line of British kings have been crowned, with all the pomp and circumstance of the old-time ritual. We in Hongkong do not come second to any British community in our loyalty to our King and the Throne. (Applause) We are celebrating to-day this historic event with rejoicing and with prayer. We desire to transmit to His Majesty our expressions, our heart-felt good wishes and congratulations, and our desires for his long and prosperous reign. I have, therefore, asked you to meet here in the City Hall to-day that you may hear the telegrams and addresses, and may approve them which it is proposed to send.\n\nThe Executive and Legislative Councils, in joint session with the Judges, send the following telegram:\n\nThe Executive and Legislative Councils of Hongkong, and the Judges of Hongkong, on behalf of Your Majesty's subjects in the Colony, beg most humbly to offer their loyal and respectful congratulations to You on the Occasion of the Coronation of Your Majesty as King and Emperor, and of Her Majesty Queen Mary. We pray that the event which is celebrated to-day may inaugurate a long and glorious reign for Your Majesties and an era of happiness, prosperity and honourable peace for Your Majesty's Kingdom and Empire.\n\nThe Coronation Committee, on behalf of the community, and on behalf of every race and nationality, has submitted the following telegram:\n\nHis Majesty's subjects in Hongkong present their loyal homage to the King, and the people of other nationalities within the borders of the Colony join with them in offering respectful congratulations to Their Majesties and in wishing them a long and happy reign.\n\nThe Chinese community propose to lay before the King at his Coronation at Delhi, which I hope to attend, a beautifully embroidered scroll expressing their loyalty and good wishes. The translation will be read to you presently by Mr. Chan Kai Ming.\n\nI may add that I received this morning by mail intimation from the Secretary of State that it was the intention of the King to present to this Colony portraits of himself and the Queen. (Applause)\n\nHis Excellency then asked the gathering to express their approval by holding up their hands. There was a full show of hands.\n\nMr. Ng Hon Tsz then read the Chinese address in the vernacular, and Mr. Chan Kai Ming read the translation in English as follows:\n\nTO HIS MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY GEORGE THE FIFTH\n\nBy the Grace of God, King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and of the British Dominions beyond the Seas, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India, Supreme Lord in and over the Colony of Hongkong and its Dependencies.\n\nAll the Chinese subjects and Chinese residents in Hongkong with uplifted hands and bowed heads dutifully present this address.\n\nBoth speakers were warmly applauded. Hon. Dr. Ho Kai asked His Excellency to present the embroidered copy of the address bound in red morocco to H. M. The King.\n\nOn the call of His Excellency three hearty cheers were given for the King, and the meeting dispersed.\n\n## ADDRESS FROM THE FREEMASONS\n\nThe Masonic bodies in Hongkong are sending the following address:\n\nTo HIS MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY KING GEORGE V - By the Grace of God, King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and of the British Dominions beyond the Seas, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India.\n\nThe Order of Freemasonry was cradled in that divine Faith whereof Your Majesty is the Defender, and is founded on the purest principles of piety and virtue. It teaches those heavenly principles of our duty to God, our duty to our neighbour, and our duty to ourselves, and reminds us of the constant need in our daily life of the practice of those truly kingly attributes Benevolence and Charity.\n\nThe Freemasons of this remote District rejoice greatly therefore that Your Majesty has been graciously pleased to become the Grand Patron of our Charities, and that Her Majesty the Queen has consented to be their Grand Patroness.\n\nLoyalty, Fidelity and Obedience have ever been among the watchwords of our Orders, and Your Majesty has no more devoted subjects than those who range under our banners.\n\nMay the Great Architect of the Universe grant, in His infinite wisdom, that Your Majesty's life may exceed the span of man's allotted term and that Your reign may be blessed with every Happiness for Your Majesty, for our beloved Queen Mary and for the members of Your Royal Family, and with Peace, Joy and Prosperity for Your Majesty's loyal subjects in all lands.\n\n## THE ROYAL SALUTE\n\nAt noon the warships in the harbour, both British and foreign, and the shore batteries, joined in a royal salute.\n\n## THE CORONATION PARADE\n\nOwing to the unsettled state of the weather, the review which was fixed to take place at 8 a.m. yesterday was postponed until the afternoon. The postponement proved propitious, for the rain held off and the parade was participated in and watched under pleasant weather conditions. A cloudy sky obscured the sun's rays and minimised the heat. An exceptionally large crowd surrounded the race course, and the quantity of bunting displayed gave the Valley the holiday appearance which it wears during race week. The troops were massed in the enclosure, and as they went through their preliminary evolutions presented an imposing appearance.\n\nAt four o'clock His Excellency the Governor arrived, and a royal salute was fired by the guns of two batteries, one stationed at the north, and one at the south end of the enclosure. His Excellency, accompanied by Major-General Anderson, Colonel St. John, Major Tulloch, Captain Grotton, Commodore Eyres, Captain Taylor, Captain Simson and an Indian A.D.C., inspected the troops and then returned to the saluting base. Preparations were made for the march past, and when all was in readiness the order was given, and to the strains of \"Sons of the Sea\" and regimental airs the naval brigade and the different regiments marched past in column.\n\n| Unit | Strength |\n| --- | --- |\n| Royal Marines | 513 |\n| Royal Navy | 176 |\n| Royal Garrison Artillery | 407 |\n| H.K.S.B., B.G.A. | 209 |\n| Royal Engineers | 175 |\n| K.Y.L.I. | 422 |\n| 8th Rajputs | 708 |\n| 126th Baluchis | 713 |\n| Total | 3,468 |\n\nAfter the march past the European troops were formed into a hollow square around the saluting base, with the K.O.Y.L.I. band near the flagstaff. His Excellency read the messages of congratulation and loyalty which were forwarded to the King, and then the troops raised three hearty cheers to His Majesty which reverberated among the hills.\n\nAn impressive drum head service followed. To the music of the K.O.Y.L.I. band the troops and the spectators joined in the hymn, \"O God, our help in ages past.\" Lessons were read and prayers offered by naval and military chaplains, and the service closed with the singing of the first verse of the National Anthem, in which thousands of voices joined.\n\nThe Indian regiments then gave three lusty cheers for the King, after which the troops, four deep, marched through the city to barracks.\n\n## ENTERTAINING THE CHILDREN\n\nThe school children were entertained in their various schools yesterday morning. The address of H.E. the Governor, in which he appropriately referred to the lessons of the Coronation, was read, and the medals were distributed to the children, after which they were treated to refreshments, etc.\n\n## THE DECORATIONS\n\nThe decorations were on a most extensive scale. In the harbour practically every vessel was beflagged from stem to stern, and foreign merchantmen joined with British in making a display of bunting. The Monmouth, Astræa, Flora and Tamar had a profusion of bunting, and the visiting American and Japanese gunboats contributed to the colour scheme on the water.\n\nAshore the principal decorations were on the water front, in Queen's Road, and at the various barracks. In the city the centre of attraction was Statue Square. Here various coloured standards had been erected, and from these were suspended festoons of greenery, each standard also bearing a green circle of foliage. Bannerettes also fluttered in the breeze. The buildings facing the harbour were embellished with the national colours, Japanese lanterns, etc., while practically every office showed a flag. As usual the Chinese made a brave display, and the quaint arches erected in various parts of the city were very striking indeed.\n\n## ILLUMINATIONS\n\nThe buildings on the water front and in Queen's Road were covered with lanterns which showed up very effectively. York Buildings had a beautiful frontage of red lamps, and the buildings along the Praya had their illuminations which added to the general effect. On Kowloon side the illuminated arch was very conspicuous, but the most picturesque sight was presented by the warships which were outlined with lights, the American ship _Ralston_ introducing a striking contrast with red lamps. The _Fatshan_ was hung with lamps, and smaller craft had their illuminations also. The grand scheme of illumination will not be seen until to-night.\n\nChinese fireworks were set off from the Parade Ground and in front of the Hongkong Club, and Japanese fireworks from the Public Gardens. The pyrotechnic display appealed to all sections of the community and was greatly appreciated.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-378 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1911 [6-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 432656, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-379 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1911 [8-9]", "page_number": 406, "title": "CO129-379 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1911 [8-9]", "content_text": "## Name of Firms | Nationality | Importer | Exporter | Manufacturer\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Alex.

RETURN of Opium used by the Macao Farmer from July 1, 1911, to June 30, 1912.\n\n| | Chests |\n|-------------|--------|\n| Local consumption of Macao- July 1911 to June 30, 1912 (approximately) | 461 |\n| Export to Mexico of prepared opium- July 1, 1911, to June 30, 1912 (approximately) | 344 |\n| Total | 805 |\n\n**(Confidential.)**\n\nDURING the second half of 1911 an official telegram was sent from Sir Frederick Lugard, Governor of Hong Kong, to Mr. Harcourt stating that Macao's requirements amounted to 120 chests of opium per annum. This telegram is reproduced in the Foreign Office reprints on opium, and can be verified by a reference to such papers (the date was, I think, August or September). It may be presumed that these figures are based on good authority, and are good until rebutted satisfactorily by the Macao Government.\n\n2. Striking confirmation of this was obtained from an independent source. At the beginning of this year the chief clerk in the bankruptcy office, Singapore, a Chinese named Lee Ah Sik, proceeded to Hong Kong and Canton on leave. This man is an old and valued servant of Government, and was my chief clerk for the two years I was in charge of the bankruptcy office (April 1907-March 1909). His brother in Hong Kong is the secret agent of the Monopolies Department, Singapore, and was formerly connected with the Hong Kong farm.\n\nBefore Lee Ah Sik left for China without saying what information I had concerning Macao, I requested him to go to Macao and make certain enquiries, and I gave him certain written questions to answer. In due course he sent me a letter. From enquiries he had made on the spot he informed me that Macao's requirements were ten to twelve chests per month; that large quantities of half-cooked opium were smuggled into the Canton delta; that interested parties had chartered the steam-ship \"Johanne\" to take direct shipments of opium from Singapore to Macao; that there was evidence of any shipments to South America, and that the local selling price of chandu (prepared opium) was considerably above what it was in 1909 (1·80 dollars per tahil in 1909).\n\nAs soon as I received this information I forwarded it on to the Colonial Secretary for the information of his Excellency the governor.\n\nWhen I left Singapore in March 1912, Lee Ah Sik had not returned from leave, so I was unable to question him further.\n\n3. Now, as to the statement by Macao that their monthly consumption in 1909 was thirty-eight chests.\n\nOn p. 323 of the Shanghai Opium Commission report the Portuguese delegates stated:-- \"Taking 100,000 individuals as forming the Chinese population of Macao, Teripu, and Colowan, the number of smokers does not come to 5 per cent. of the number of inhabitants.\" On the same page it is stated that the price of prepared opium at that time (1909) was 1·80 per tahil, and the daily average consumption of opium (i.e., chandu) per smoker is 2 mace daily. (10 hoons = 1 mace or 1 chee; 10 chees = 1 tahil.)\n\nTherefore at the most the number of local smokers was 5,000. Assuming each smoked 2 mace or chees, we get total daily consumption equals 1,000 tahils, or, in a month of thirty days, 30,000 tahils.\n\nOn p. 322 it is stated each ball of opium produced 216 tahils of opium ready for consumption. As there are forty balls in a chest, each chest therefore produces 40 × 21·6 = 864 tahils.\n\nTherefore the monthly local consumption in 1908-9 was `30000/864` = 34 odd chests— according to the Portuguese delegates themselves.\n\nThe above figures are open to serious objection.\n\nIn the first place, I am unable to agree that the daily average of the Macao opium smoker is 2 mace. Anyone who smoked this quantity daily would be regarded as distinctly a heavy smoker.\n\nOn p. 8 of the Shanghai report the United States of America delegates designate a man who smokes 2 mace per day as a \"heavy smoker,\" and they state that only 10 per cent. of the opium smokers in the United States of America smoked that much. Therefore it cannot be correct on the part of the Portuguese delegate to assume that each opium smoker smokes 2 mace or 2 chees per day. Some may, but it can only be a small percentage.\n\nAgain, on p. 322 the Portuguese delegate states a ball of opium produces only 216 tahils of chandu. The experience of the Singapore farmers and of the Monopoly Department is that it produces about 27 tahils. At this rate 30,000 tahils per month represents twenty-seven chests per month for local consumption.\n\nFurther, at the time of the Shanghai Commission, the Portuguese delegate stated that the price of prepared opium was 1·80 dollar per tahil. It is well known that the selling price is now considerably higher. This of itself would still further reduce the monthly requirements, especially when it is considered that the trade of Macao is stagnant and the coolies would not be in a position to stand an increase in price so well as coolies in the Straits, where wages are good and trade brisk.\n\nOn the above grounds it does not appear to me far wrong to state that the local requirements are now not more than twenty chests per month. This, coupled with Sir F. Lugard's statement that ten were sufficient, accounts for the statement that fifteen chests per month is a fair estimate.\n\n4. Now as to their export trade.\n\nAgain, quoting the Portuguese delegate on p. 321 :— \"The exportation of raw opium is exclusively made to Chinese ports and the exportation of prepared opium has been made to California and Australia, \"but the trade with the latter ceased in the year 1905.\"\n\nSince the agreement with China signed in May 1911, none but certificated chests can enter China, and, as all the opium recently bought by Macao direct from Singapore and Calcutta was uncertificated, not a single chest of this latter kind could legitimately enter China.\n\nTherefore there is not now any legitimate export trade in raw uncertificated opium between Macao and China.\n\nThere remains the trade in prepared opium with California.\n\nAt the bottom of p. 20 the United States of America delegate reports (February 1909): \"A few days ago our Congress, in response to the new light thrown on our home opium question, has passed a Bill of which following is a summary: Section 1: After the 1st April, 1909 (N.B.-Shanghai Commission finished its sittings on the 26th February, 1909), it shall be unlawful to import into the United States of America opium in any form, or any preparations or derivatives thereof, except that opium and preparations thereof, other than smoking or opium prepared for smoking, may be imported for medicinal purposes only.\"\n\nAgain, on p. 323 it is stated by Portuguese delegate \"As already stated, the exportation of prepared opium to foreign ports is now made exclusively to California.\"\n\nTherefore, when importation into California was prohibited on the 1st April, 1909, on the showing of the Portuguese delegates themselves, the export trade in prepared opium would cease to exist.\n\nOn p. 322 Portuguese delegates stated: \"The exportation of opium prepared in Macao not possible in consequence of the prepared drug being heavily taxed by the large contribution made by the Syndicate to the Macao Government, and it cannot therefore compete with the native prepared opium.\"\n\nWe therefore get the following result: Raw export trade of uncertificated opium with China ceased; export trade in prepared opium also at an end since prohibition law in United States of America.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-396 - Public Offices - 1912.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 442080, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-399 - Governor Sir May - 1913 [1-2]", "page_number": 207, "title": "CO129-399 - Governor Sir May - 1913 [1-2]", "content_text": "## MAR 13\n\nAt the outset, every effort was made to obtain a copy of the New Mining Regulations in order to ascertain their purport, but without success. A foreign representative of the Company called repeatedly at the office of the Director of the Bureau of Industry, and asked for copies of the Regulations but only obtained them after much trouble and solicitation on the 2nd of August. About seventy applications for mining permits were sent in by various Chinese, some were refused, and some not answered at all.\n\nSo far as can be ascertained no proclamation was ever posted overt at West River Quarries. The first act being the seizure of two junks with stone at Samshui, and this we are informed by the Commissioner of Customs at Samshui was done as the result of a circular from Customs Board at Canton dated the 23rd of July stating that the export of gold, silver, metals and minerals, also limestone, granite and similar stones is prohibited unless the cargo is accompanied by a Yuen Chow issued by the Board of Industry at Canton.\n\nOne of the lessees of a quarry that has supplied us made a statement as follows: -\n\n\"On the 31st of August the Commissioner of Industry sent a deputy named Kong Po in company with the Tung On Magistrate, Lo So han, and some soldiers to arrest him (the lessee, named Kwok Pui Chee), and seize all stone say over 10,000,000 catties which had been bought by Shun Yick (a trading name of the above Kwok Pui Chee) (Contractor to this Company), and stored at Luk To in the Tung On district.\n\n\"On the 20th of October two shipments, and during November ten shipments of the above stone were towed away in Government boats to the Cement Factory at Canton\".\n\nPui Chee's partner named Chan Chee adds that two junks laden with stone were also towed away from How Lick Lekin Station (where they had been detained) to Canton, and their cargoes landed at the Canton Cement Works without anything being paid to the owners of the stone or to the Junk masters.\n\nIn the meantime Kwok Pui Chee was still in prison, and on the 4th of December the Commissioner of Industry sanctioned an investigation.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-399 - Governor Sir May - 1913 [1-2].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 442081, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-399 - Governor Sir May - 1913 [1-2]", "page_number": 208, "title": "CO129-399 - Governor Sir May - 1913 [1-2]", "content_text": "## ACCUBU 3« Vrojesi 31.mm0 end od*\n\n207 \n\nHI JUU Qu 9 \n\nAn investigation into the case which resulted in a verdict of not guilty being given by the Tung On Magistrate on the 7th December when Kwok Pui Chee was released. In short, this man was kept in prison for over three months, and 20% of the stone lying at Luk To was removed by force before the case was investigated, and a decision given.\n\nSo far as the Company could learn, the quarrying and the sale of limestone to the local lime kilns on the West River were allowed to go on as usual after the alleged issue of the Mining Regulations, and it was only when stone was loaded into junks destined for Hongkong that difficulties were made by the authorities.\n\nMoreover, the cargoes of fifteen junks loaded with stone, and stopped by the Authorities, were all disposed of by our Contractors to local lime burners in order to free the junks. No objection was made to this, although the Mining Regulations are supposed to apply to all quarrying of limestone, whether for export or not. It is obvious that the action of the Government was solely with the object of preventing supplies from reaching Hongkong.\n\nAs regards the North River, five junks laden with stone for Hongkong were seized at Canton, although the Commissioner of Customs had granted a clearance because all the necessary receipts for lekin had been produced to him. The Government had therefore actually levied lekin &c. on the stone and then seized it when it was about to be exported to Hongkong.\n\nThis stone in these five junks was seized and turned over to the Canton Cement Works. This is only one of the incidents proving that the Government's main object is to aid its own factory to the detriment of the Green Island Cement Company Limited.\n\nOn several occasions, the Company has been approached by Chinese (who pretended to be intermediaries on behalf of the Canton Government), who have said that, provided the Company would loan the Canton Government about $1,500,000, a supply of limestone would be assured to them at a price of $2.90 to $3.00 per ton under a contract for a number of years. The principal security offered for the loan was to be...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-399 - Governor Sir May - 1913 [1-2].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 442876, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-400 - Governor Sir May - 1913 [3-4]", "page_number": 444, "title": "CO129-400 - Governor Sir May - 1913 [3-4]", "content_text": "## CONFIDENTIAL\n\nGOVERNMENT HOUSE, \nHONGKONG, 26th April, 1913.\n\nReferring to previous correspondence ending with my Despatch, **Confidential**, of 20th January on the subject of the stoppage of the supply of limestone to the Green Island Cement Company, I have the honour to transmit for your information copies of the later correspondence on the subject noted in the margin terminating with the presentation of the heavy claim made by the Green Island Cement Company against the Chinese Government, which has been made by His Majesty's Consul-General acting under instructions from His Majesty's Minister at Peking.\n\n2. The statement made by Pui Chee to Mr. Tomes, the senior partner in Messrs. Shewan, Tomes and Company, who are General Managers of the Green Island Cement Company, furnishes further evidence of the real object of the Canton Authorities in placing an embargo on the export of limestone. I would also draw your attention to the newspaper extract which forms an enclosure to the Vice-Consul's Memorandum of the 11th of March wherein the motive of protecting the Canton Cement Works is again disclosed.\n\n3. The situation is a very serious one. In consequence of the failure of supplies of limestone the Company's factory at Macao has been closed since the middle of last November; and half of its factory at Hongkong has been closed for several months. The Company has only been able to keep the other half at work.\n\nI have large intuents. I for one suggest that the action on the part of the CAMG to enforce the payment of the claim and compensation for the future is necessary. Unfortunately, he has no satisfaction as to the drastic action except by retaliation by prohibiting or taxing importation of the Chekang cement. I can't say that I like the prospect any more than the others, but if other means fail, it looks as if we shall have to try it.

No stone at all was being quarried at Tung On, Mr. Pui Chee's native place on the West River. This prefectural town is situated 6 miles from the quarry and is near Shui Hing on the River.\n\nMr. Pui Chee headed a delegation of quarry owners that waited upon Mr. Kwan, the Commissioner of Industry, on Monday last, the 17th instant, when it was represented to Mr. Kwan the great hardship that was prevailing as regards the limestone quarries, and they applied to him again for the issue of the necessary permits to work. They apparently got nothing satisfactory out of Mr. Kwan beyond that he would look carefully again into the matter, and he intimated that the permits might be granted on condition that a promise was made that the quarry would not sell stone for export until Mr. Kwan was satisfied as to the proper action in the meantime, in accordance with Article 12 of the Mining Law Regulations.\n\nMr. Pui Chee informed us that of the 8,000 tons of stone he had lying on the River bank ready for us, the Government had taken away about 7,000 tons leaving 1,000 tons, and that no money whatever had been paid for what was taken.\n\nOn being asked about the position of the junk men, he reported that they were doing nothing, and there were about 400 stone junks lying idle.

Our magazines, periodicals, and daily press teem with news: historical and philosophical articles, relating to the war. The eyes of the world are turned steadfastly on Europe. Neutral as well as belligerent have been drawn to or into the vortex. This writer tells us that the chief cause of the war was the ever-increasing thirst of France to avenge the theft of Alsace and Lorraine in 1871; another sets forth the deep-seated purpose of the Russian Bear to sun himself in peace at Constantinople; again we read that the war blood of Alaric has been boiling for years in the arteries of the kaiser and the German people that they would cross the Alps and annex Italy—would absorb the puny Balkan states and Turkey in their onward march into Asia and a world empire!\n\nAnd the supersensitive Englishman says he could not suffer the brutal betrayal of Belgian neutrality. England has presented her \"white papers\" to the world, wherein she sets forth her diplomatic correspondence just prior to the outbreak of the war, and whereby she would prove how she struggled for peace; Germany offers her \"white papers\" for the same purpose.\n\n### EXCUSES AND APOLOGIES\n\nThese and many similar excuses, apologies, and \"inevitable causes\" flood neutral countries, appealing for their moral support. Every student of history knows that these \"causes\" are for the most part puerile, superficial, temporary expedients. As boys and girls, we were taught in school that slavery was the cause of our Civil War, and it took us many years to learn that aristocracy and democracy, climate and soil, agricultural and manufacturing pursuits, the invention of the cotton-gin, the tariff, the acquisition of new territory, were the real fundamental causes of the war, which the match of slavery ignited.\n\nThe unbiased historian of the future will develop the real causes of the present war in Europe, and when he does, he will lay the burden of blame at the door of England. While England has long since abandoned the doctrine of the divine right of kings, she has never for a moment abandoned the doctrine that \"might makes right,\" and that under \"this buckler of the people's cause,\" she has been divinely appointed to gobble the earth and the fullness thereof. Justifying her greed under this specious plea or that, she has crept into first one nation and then another like a thief in the night, till today she rules one-fifth of the habitable globe—and boasts that the sun never sets upon her domains.\n\nBy what right? By the right of craft, cunning, greed, and violence. England has been the road hog, the commercial pirate, the homestead jumper of the world, for the last 400 years. And now, like every successful burglar, after looting the world and planting her batteries at every strategic point, she holds up her hands, reeking with the blood of every people under the sun, and rolls her hypocritical eyes to heaven and prays, \"Let us have peace!\" With a naval power twice that of Germany, she pleads with the kaiser to limit his armaments! Why? Simply that she may be mistress of the seas, the world's policeman—that she may enjoy her ill-gotten gains without fear of a righteous vengeance. Who says the English have no sense of humor?\n\n## ENGLAND'S POLICY\n\nA running glance at English history proves these statements ad nauseam. She went into India, the garden of the world, by craft, then with the bayonet, and finally with opium in one hand and the Bible in the other. Dreamy India soothed her captivity with the fumes of the drug but repudiated the Bible that came with the sword. From 1774, when Warren Hastings began his nefarious spoliation of India, the natives suffered their subjection to English rule till 1857, when came the Sepoy mutiny, at the close of which these enlightened Christian rulers lashed the leading Sepoys with their backs across the mouths of English cannon and blew them into the orthodox hell of \"Merrie Old England.\" After 140 years of civil and military administration in India, what has England to show the world? The cradle of the human race, the womb of the world's religions, has been given over to spoliation and abortion to fill the coffers of Threadneedle Street.\n\nIn 1704, Sir George Rooke, with \"unscrupulous patriotism,\" stole the rock of Gibraltar, after Charles III had fairly won it. Greedy England, quickly realizing that it was the key to all the Mediterranean states, \"was both unprincipled enough to sanction and ratify the occupation, and ungrateful enough to leave unrewarded the general,\" who by his perfidy and treachery had seized it.\n\nWhen Said Pasha, viceroy of Egypt, had granted a concession to De Lesseps to dig the Suez Canal, and he had begun that great work, who schemed, connived, and plotted to hinder, delay, and block the undertaking? Who brought pressure to bear on the Sublime Porte of Turkey not to give his consent to the construction of the canal? Who inveigled the native labor away from the work and then rejoiced that \"poor De Lesseps must go to the wall?\" Who voted in parliament \"that the power and influence of the country should be employed in obliging the sultan to withhold his consent?\" England, always England! And when, in spite of all obstacles and treachery, the canal was constructed, who gobbled it? England!\n\n### \"CUNNING PHILANTHROPY\"\n\nWho then came forward with cunning philanthropy and loaned money to Egypt? And who then ostensibly sent her troops into Egypt to collect these loans, but in reality to possess and keep this ancient granary of the world, and thus still further strengthen her rights in the Suez Canal? England! England, the buccaneer of the seas, the spoiler of nations.\n\nForeigners, principally British foreigners, between 1880 and 1900, who had come into South Africa, were not satisfied with the rights of burghership, the laws governing the right of franchise. The country of the Dutch republics had been reclaimed from wild beasts and still wilder men. The Boers had fought their way, mile by mile, into the trackless veldt, the rugged mountains, and had carved out homes and a government for a peace-loving, contented people. They justly resented the foreign influx and the demands which would give the absolute control of their national life. Consequently, in 1896, Cecil Rhodes, the English premier of the Cape, sent Dr. Jamieson, with his mounted English police, on that despicable raid into the Transvaal.\n\nIt failed. The civilized world condemned the raid as an outrage, yet England left Cecil Rhodes unpunished, still allowed him his seat in the privy council, and continued his chartered company.\n\nFour years later, without just cause or right, inspired only by greed of gold and lust of empire, she marched an army of her mighty realms against this unoffending, peace-loving, contented, and industrious people, sacked and burned their homes, devastated their fields, and razed their towns, waged a bitter and cruel war against Boer forces, in whose ranks stood grizzled burghers, gray-haired women, and children, fighting for their homes, their liberty, and their native land. When Lord Roberts raised the British flag in Pretoria, he but drove another nail into the coffin of the English empire.\n\nAnd so we might speak of her treatment of Denmark in 1801 and 1807; of the treachery of her much-lauded Duke of Wellington at the Battle of Waterloo, who was dancing at Brussels while good old Blucher was forming his little army to meet the onslaught of Napoleon; or how, with direct and characteristic brutality, she attacked China in the \"Opium War,\" that she might get plenty of this drug to lull her subjects in India to sleep, and how finally, with her land and naval forces, she wrested Hong Kong from China and forced Canton, Amoy, Shanghai, Fuchow, and Ningpo to do business with the English East India Company, or its successor, the English government.\n\n### \"STIRRING UP OF STRIFE\"\n\nTo whatsoever part of the world we turn, we witness the same measureless treachery and violence, the stirring up of strife, that during the squabble, melee, or war, England may walk in and gobble some coveted prize.\n\nO'CONNELL'S, January 30, 1915\n\nThe whole civilized world should indict this British imperialism that has stalked rampant through every weak nation of the globe, trampling upon native religions, customs, culture, and patriotism, with an insatiate greed for gold and a lust for empire.\n\nShe has been tried in the balance and found wanting in her colonies and dependencies. For years, there has been evidence of their earnest desire to throw off her galling yoke. The recent troubles in Ireland, the present uprisings of the Boers, are but fitting illustrations that predict the future. Her thick-headed \"governmental classes,\" her arrogant, greedy, unsympathetic ministers, will eventually alienate her dependencies, as her Norths and Granvilles alienated her American colonies and drove them into rebellion.\n\nThe present war in Europe is, in the last analysis, a war between Germany and England. The issues which Russia and France have thrown into the struggle are trivial when compared with the fundamental actuating causes between Germany and England.\n\nCooped up in a territory smaller than the state of Texas are 60,000,000 Germans. Hemmed in by the Baltic and North seas, the plains of Poland, the mountains on her southern and eastern borders, and by Belgium and the Netherlands on the west, this mighty nation, conscious of its power, its wealth, its wonderful strides in the arts and sciences, industrial and agricultural pursuits, yearly pulsating with ever-increasing pressure against its borders, from the teeming, swelling life within, descended from an empire that ruled Western Europe before England and France had put on their national swaddling clothes—this nation can see no just cause why England should possess one-fifth of the habitable globe, while Germany suffers with growing pains within her limited confines.\n\nEngland wrested from Holland, Spain, and France, in turn, the mastery of the seas and commercial supremacy. A new nation now challenges that supremacy, and therein lies the basic cause of the present war, with its roots running far back into European history.\n\nIn this deep-seated and far-reaching antagonism, England comes to the United States begging, pleading for our moral support. She has sent her financier, Sir George Paish, to hobnob with Wall Street. She has deputized some of her most able writers to come to this country and pen columns of fulsome flattery about the American people—their mighty power, inexhaustible wealth, wonderful individuality, high-power progression, and even hinting at our culture and refinement. Shall we yield to Caesar the things that belong to God? If England is entitled to our moral support, then there is a moral obligation on our part to render it.\n\nMorals are traditional, practical, idealistic. \"Blood is thicker than water.\" \"The Anglo-Saxon nations are bound by a common speech, common customs, ethical and political aspirations to stand together,\" says the idealistic moralist. But nations ever have been and ever will be, while human nature remains as it is, actuated rather by traditional and practical morality. Measured by this latter standard, is England entitled to our moral support? Her oppression and tyranny toward our colonies from the founding of Jamestown to the cooping up of Cornwallis at Yorktown by the French and Americans; her impressment of American citizens into her naval service that led to the War of 1812; her evil wishes, treacherous machinations, subscriptions to Confederate loans, hostile speeches in parliament, building of the Alabama and other ironclads which were fitted out in her harbors and sent forth to prey upon and destroy the ships of the loyal citizens of this country, after she had declared her neutrality in our Civil War; her bold attempt to filch from us this very state of Washington; her constant sneers, cynicism, taunts, and insults, not only to our form of government and our laws but to anything and everything American, that have appeared in the books of her authors and in her daily press, ever since our Civil War down to the breaking out of the present European War—these and many similar acts on the part of England toward this country answer the question whether traditional and practical morality calls upon us now to give her our moral support.\n\nIs it for the benefit of humanity, for our own moral and material benefit, that we ethically uphold the hands of this robber of nations, that she may be strengthened in her grasp upon one-fifth of the habitable globe? Her orators, exhorting a decadent nation to arms, have already begun to cast lots over the spoils of war. Alsace and Lorraine are to be given to France; Russia is, perhaps, to be strengthened in the Balkans on her way to Constantinople; the naval forces of the kaiser are to be wiped off the seas; Belgium is to be reimbursed and rehabilitated as an outside guard for England's southern shore; and the German people are to be relegated to a quiet, pastoral life, with the privilege of exporting their few products in British bottoms!\n\nWe have wisely proclaimed our neutrality in the present war. Let us keep it in good faith and not in treachery, as did England her neutrality in our Civil War. Our people are conglomerate, and naturally, some sympathize with one nation, some with another, but we are all Americans, and loyalty to our own country, loyalty to humanity, forbids that we give moral support to that nation which is seeking to crush Germany—to that nation whose whole history in dealing with other nations smells to heaven of craft, greed, and violence—to that nation who fought us with mercenaries and is now summoning her satraps, her heathen hordes, to the slaughter of the German people, one of the foremost products of modern civilization.\n\n## A SAD CASE\n\nSamuel A. Greeley of Chicago has suffered a serious loss. He will not get the job from the Manila city government nor the P350 a week and all his expenses paid for telling the local garbage wagon drivers whether they are doing their work properly.\n\nIt is indeed a sad case, but why in the name of Sam Hill could he not have been made some kind of an assistant director of the bureau of agriculture? Is this bureau really loaded up with junk and unable to take on more? Where will they put Census Expert Col. Johnston if the legislature fails to pass the necessary appropriation for census work? Really, it is very bad.\n\n## Advertisements\n\n| Company/Organization | Advertisement |\n| --- | --- |\n| Philippine Islands Telephone and Telegraph Company | It is impossible to enumerate the great convenience of the telephone in the home.

In the petition allegations of fraud and misappropriation of funds were made against two of the directors, and argument upon the question of whether the court could regard these allegations occupied the court on Thursday and Friday and part of yesterday, when the Chief Justice decided that they are admissible. The hearing of the petition is expected to last three weeks.\n\nThe petition was filed by Sun Fat Shan, a merchant residing in China and a shareholder in the company, and was supported by a number of shareholders. The respondent was the Yue Hing Co., Ltd., and notice of opposition was also filed by Lee Hyeo, Ma Chee Lung and a number of shareholders who claimed to represent nearly half the total share capital of the company.\n\nMr. Duncan McNeill (Shanghai) and Mr. F. C. Jonkin appeared for the petitioners on the instructions of Mr. Crew (Messrs. Hastings and Hastings); and Mr. C. G. Alabaster and Mr. Eldon Potter (instructed by Mr. Beavis of Messrs.

Mr. Potter also represented Lee Hyeo and Ma Chee Lung, the directors against whom the allegations are made.\n\nMr. Alabaster informed his Lordship this morning that since the issue of the new advertisement giving notice of the petition four further shareholders, holding 80 shares, had given notice to oppose the petition; and he now represented the holders of 1080 shares which was more than half the shares of the company.\n\nMr. McNeill opened the case for the petitioners, and devoted the whole of the hearing to directing his Lordship's attention to the affidavits and declarations. Dealing with petitioners' allegation that the minute books of the company had been faked by certain directors entering minutes of meetings of the company which, he submitted, were never held, he said that all the declarations filed would be supported by the evidence of witnesses who could be cross-examined. Certain of the petitioning directors (whose names he mentioned) had filed declarations to the effect that since the incorporation of the company no statutory meetings of shareholders were ever held, nor was any report ever filed with the Registrar of Companies as required by law.\n\nCourt proceedings...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-425 - Governor Sir May - 1915 [10-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 456499, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-425 - Governor Sir May - 1915 [10-12]", "page_number": 665, "title": "CO129-425 - Governor Sir May - 1915 [10-12]", "content_text": "HE EASTERN TELEGRAPH COMPANY, LIMITED.\n\nClark's Name.\n\nISSUED FROM\n\nELECTRA HOUSE,\n\nFINSBURY PAVEMENT, E.C.\n\n87, HOLBORN VIADUCT, E.C.\n\n449, STRAND, W.C.\n\nLONDON STATIONS:-\n\n \n 8, LEADENHALL STREET, E.C.\n (8682 Wall) 4 Lines\n \n \n 20, MINCING LANE, E.C.\n (9632 Wall)\n \n \n MARKET BLDG.\n (951 Avenue)\n \n \n 11, OLD BROAD STREET, E.C.\n (852 Avenue)\n \n \n 26, MARK LANE, E.C.\n \n \n\nThe following TELEGRAM Received at—\n\n \n No.\n From\n Foreign\n No.\n No. of Words\n \n \n 44.\n \n \n 653\n \n \n\nCorrard, 41 & 42, PARLIAMENT STREET, S.W.\n\nWe demarka FOREIGN AUCTION HALL COVENT GARDEN, W.C.

Les gains importants qui en découlent, les longues lignes de côte d'un archipel, et le petit volume de la matière sont autant de raisons pour un succès certain des contrebandiers dans leurs efforts pour introduire des quantités de la matière prohibée. Les vraies difficultés pour eux commencent lors de la distribution de l'opium dans le pays et augmentent lors de la vente au détail.\n\nD'abord, le nombre de ceux qui viennent en contact avec la marchandise s'augmente de jour en jour, et il ne se passe jamais beaucoup de temps sans que quelqu'un parmi ces centaines de personnes trahisse le commerçant caché et désigne secrètement aux autorités locales la source de la contrebande. Le résultat final pour les contrebandiers est ordinairement : perte de capital, amendes et emprisonnement.\n\nMais aux Indes néerlandaises nous avons encore un autre moyen pour combattre le commerce illicite de l'opium, je veux dire la connaissance exacte des quantités qui se vendent journellement dans chaque place, s'il n'y a pas de contrebande sur le marché. Aussitôt que la contrebande a lieu, le débit légal diminue visiblement, et si on réussit à en trouver les preuves on recherche les gens qui achètent dans les maisons de débit de la Régie moins que leur quantité ordinaire, on les fouille et on fait une perquisition dans leurs habitations, on les poursuit devant le tribunal ou bien on les porte à désigner les détaillants, ce qui ordinairement amène la saisie de quantités considérables.\n\nToutes les Puissances pourront pratiquer sur leurs territoires de pareils moyens aussitôt que, en vertu de la Convention Internationale, ils posséderont des lois médicales et pharmaceutiques sévères et effectives, en vertu desquelles les autorités disposeront non seulement de l'assistance d'une police exercée, mais aussi de données statistiques sur la vente ordinaire par prescription médicale.\n\nAvec de la bonne volonté on peut aller loin et, en tout cas, le danger d'empoisonnement des nations au moyen de drogues narcotiques doit diminuer considérablement sous l'influence du commun accord des Puissances signataires, qui s'assisteront mutuellement.\n\nSi nous votons pour la résolution américaine et si nous faisons entrer en vigueur la Convention le premier décembre 1914, à cette époque-là tout le monde pourra avoir préparé ses lois médicales et pharmaceutiques et avoir institué son service spécial pour les exécuter.\n\nSi, au contraire, nous rejetons la proposition et si par conséquent nous laissons les affaires comme elles sont, le mouvement international contre l'opium etc. aura échoué et nous aurons à porter la lourde responsabilité de cet échec.\n\nC'est pour cela, Messieurs les Délégués des autres Puissances, que la Délégation néerlandaise croit de son devoir d'appuyer chaleureusement la proposition de Son Excellence le Premier Délégué des Etats Unis d'Amérique et de faire les déclarations que vient de donner mon honorable Collègue M. le Dr. VAN DEVENTER.\n\nSon Exc. M. Yen Hul-Ch'ing, Délégué de Chine, prononce un discours en anglais qui est traduit par M. Houang Shou Kan.\n\nMonsieur le Président, Messieurs,\n\nLa question que cette conférence se trouve appelée à décider est la suivante : la Convention de l'Opium sera-t-elle ou non mise en vigueur ? Il ne peut, ce me semble, y avoir qu'une seule réponse, c'est que la chose est possible.\n\n25\n\nIl faut regretter qu'une ou deux Puissances aient décidé de s'abstenir de la Convention et quelques-uns parmi nous, qui ont des intérêts similaires, craignent que ces Puissances ne veuillent se créer un monopole du commerce de l'opium, de la morphine et de la cocaine. Laissez moi avant tout déclarer que dès son origine jusqu'à la fin, la lutte contre l'opium est une lutte engagée contre des intérêts personnels. La Convention de l'opium vise un but humanitaire et impose une certaine mesure d'esprit de sacrifice. Nous ne l'ignorions pas quand nous l'avons signée il y a deux ans, nous le savions quand nous sommes venus ici l'an passé pour envisager la possibilité de sa ratification, et nous en avons tous conscience maintenant que nous sommes assemblés de nouveau pour examiner la question de sa mise en vigueur. Sa Majesté la Reine fait allusion au but humanitaire de cette Convention dans sa gracieuse dépêche, et le monde entier a applaudi au sentiment d'altruisme des Puissances signataires. En conséquence, il est trop tard maintenant pour soulever de nouveau des questions d'intérêt et de monopole. Quand on accomplit un acte d'humanité il faut laisser de côté toute considération de profit ou de dommage. D'ailleurs, je ne pense pas que si la majorité des Puissances décide de mettre la Convention en vigueur, la petite minorité des autres puisse constituer un monopole. Il est un fait notoire que les marchands n'aiment pas à engager leurs capitaux dans des affaires hasardeuses et le commerce de l'opium, de la morphine et de la cocaine deviendra des plus hasardeux une fois proscrit par le monde civilisé. Nous avons pu constater par notre propre expérience dans la suppression de l'opium que les marchands ont retiré très rapidement leurs capitaux dès qu'ils ont appris les mesures prises contre l'opium ; ils ne tentent même pas de continuer leur commerce là où les lois sont moins strictes. Le capital est, comme on sait, un facteur très susceptible et réservé, et il est ennemi du hasard. C'est pourquoi je déclare en terminant que la crainte que les Puissances non-signataires constituent un monopole, en opposition avec les sentiments et les décisions du monde civilisé est, premièrement, indigne de retenir notre attention, et, secondement, pratiquement impossible et improbable.\n\nSon Exc. M. Huneeus, Délégué du Chili, voudrait suggérer un amendement à la résolution proposée par la Délégation américaine. Son Gouvernement est d'accord sur l'idée de cette résolution, mais l'orateur croit que la rédaction ne répond pas aux possibilités matérielles en tant qu'elle dit que les Puissances s'engagent à faire entrer en vigueur la Convention dès le 1er décembre 1914. Dans un pays parlementaire, la mise en vigueur n'est, en règle générale, possible qu'après l'approbation obtenue par le Parlement et on ne peut prendre un engagement sur la date à laquelle on obtiendra cette approbation. Si les Gouvernements ne réussissaient pas à obtenir cette approbation avant le 1er décembre prochain, cela les mettrait en défaut et nécessiterait une nouvelle conférence. L'orateur voudrait conserver l'idée, mais pas sous une forme si tranchante. Le délai ne dépend pas de nous autres dans un pays parlementaire. Ne vaudrait-il pas mieux dire que les Etats signataires s'obligent de mettre en vigueur la Convention aussitôt qu'ils l'auront ratifiée.\n\nL'orateur croit, en outre, qu'il est prématuré d'étudier la question des mesures à prendre pour paralyser l'abstention des deux Puissances qui refusent leur concours. Le temps nous renseignera plus tard à cet égard. Cela sera de nouveau une lutte contre l'opium et le commerce de l'opium que nous ne pouvons pas prévoir et préciser en ce moment. Il s'agit à présent seulement d'adopter le principe que nous voulons ratifier et mettre en vigueur la Convention malgré l'abstention de ces quelques Etats.\n\nSon Exc. M. van Dyke, Délégué des Etats-Unis d'Amérique, tout en se ralliant à l'idée fondamentale de Son Exc. HUNEEUS, est d'avis qu'il faut indiquer dans la résolution une date fixe ; quelle date, cela lui est tout à fait indifférent. Pour des raisons de sentiment il voudrait une mise en vigueur encore dans la présente année. Il croit que tous sont d'accord qu'on ne veut pas une quatrième conférence.

C. F. Andrews. (From the \"Modern Review.\") \n\nI have been trying to study carefully the dominant ideas underlying modern Australian life in their relation to India, and have been surprised to find how small is the margin of conflict. I have had to modify considerably some of the points that I regarded as axioms, and in certain fundamental ways to change my thoughts concerning Australians themselves. \n\nBy accident of fortune, trend of circumstance, and hard-fought conflict combined, Australia has become more and more the working man's close preserve, his unchallenged estate. The laborers, who found it difficult to win even one of their rights and privileges in England, have entered into them all with extraordinary ease and rapidity in Australia. There have been many wild adventures and brilliant successes of capitalists, as some new gold mine has been discovered, or some new patent cold-storage has been invented; but, notwithstanding all this, the country has never got into the capitalists' hands. The laborers have struggled to their kingdom, and have won it so securely that now they have the capitalist almost at their mercy. \n\nIt may be that the pendulum has swung too far; that labor has got too completely the upper hand; that there has been much that is sordid and selfish in the labor policy. This may be readily granted; yet the victory has been a signal one all the same. It is one of the new landmarks in the history of the world, and it is of far greater significance to humanity than the defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo, or the German invasion of Belgium. \n\n### THE CRY FOR A \"WHITE AUSTRALIA.\" \nBut how, then, comes in this cry for a wholly white Australia? ... our fear of the \"color prejudice,\" but that in the exigencies of warfare they soon become not only next-door neighbors, but also the best of comrades (I am certain this last part is true, every word). Invariably, whenever I told that story to Australians, their comment was that in those conditions there would have been no objection among them at all to \"colored\" men, and they were quite misunderstood on the \"color\" question. They pointed out to me how glad Australians were when they heard that Indian troops were going out to fight along with the British at the front—quite a different mood from a considerable volume of English opinion in South Africa which rather resented it and thought it might lower the dignity of the white man. \n\nI think it may be fairly said that actually, in daily life, there is no more color prejudice in the \"Anzac zone,\" down here at the Antipodes, than there is in England itself—and for the same reason, because there is no experience. I would go further, and give very high praise to the New Zealander, where there is experience. For his treatment of the Maori has been recently almost exemplary. To open the door to full citizenship in fifty years to this different race; to give them the fullest facilities for education and to allow them to carry arms and take rank in the army where merit has been shown; to take them into the comradeship of sport; to cast no slur upon the children of intermarriage; to accomplish all this in fifty years is no small achievement. \n\n### AN ECONOMIC OBJECTION. \nWhat, then, is this cry of \"White Australia\"? We must go back to our earlier historical setting, and study more carefully the labor struggle and the labor victory. At every point in this great, historic struggle the capitalist has endeavored to bring in, entirely for his own profit-making business, the colored man, who can work and live more cheaply than the white man. If the capitalist had been able to effect this, then the whole battle of Australian labor would have been lost. The capitalist to-day would have become master of the situation, and the laborer to-day would be his helot. There would be slums and foul places, and foul, unhealthy conditions in Australia to-day such as still exist, almost unheeded, in Europe. Labor has won its great battle on one condition, and one condition only, by fighting against the import of cheap industry from outside. That is what \"white Australia\" has meant hitherto. \n\nIt is an evil term, and it should never have been used. It is a term which, every year, becomes more and more morally dangerous; for it tends to foster in the minds of young Australians a color-pride which is next-door to color-prejudice. It is a term which ought to be dropped as soon as possible, for it is grossly insulting to other races: and India and Japan and China are quite right in resenting its use most strongly. But, on the other hand, as I have tried to show, in its origin it is wholly, or almost wholly economic. In its origin it differs as widely as possible from that color-hatred in Africa, which is only in a small part economic, and is in a far greater measure a hardened racial instinct. \n\n### INDIAN INDENTURED LABOR IN FIJI. \nHow, then, does this reading of Australian history affect the problem of Indian indentured labor in Fiji? Very materially indeed. For, if my argument has been followed, it will be seen that India has the whole of the victorious sentiment of Australia (which has won its own way out of labor-serfdom) on its own side. Australia, as a whole, would like to see indentured Indian labor in Fiji abolished to-morrow. Australia, as a whole, hates the very thought of such cheap, sweated, profit-making business as the great sugar factories are carrying on in Fiji. From one side of Australia to the other, and in New Zealand also, I have only heard one opinion when I have broached the subject: and that is, \"Abolish indenture in Fiji as soon as possible!\" If I say to them that the largest company in Fiji (the practical monopoly there) is an Australian company, they reply at once, \"We hate monopolies in Australia, and we would like this one smashed, as well as every other monopoly in the land.\" If I say to them, \"Would you be ready to stand up for the rights of colored labor in this matter, as you would for the rights of white labor?\" they will answer, \"We have no hold on Fiji at all, because it is a Crown Colony. But if it were to come under Australia we would do all we could to abolish it.\" \n\nThere are many other sides of this widely ramifying question which I have consciously passed over in order to make one point clear. Australia and New Zealand are, both of them, in principle bound to support us in our own struggle to abolish the indenture system. \n\nI have been obliged to talk about \"white\" and \"colored\" in this article, because these are the present Australian terms. I hate them myself, because they always seem to imply arrogance in the appropriation of the word \"white\" by the European. I believe we shall not get rid of the evil and hateful sentiments behind the use of the words until we give them up altogether and talk about our different nationalities without referring to \"color\" at all—at least for so long as \"white\" implies an arrogant and unwarranted assumption. \n\nRabindranath Tagore's play, \"Chitra,\" was staged most successfully by the Arts and Letters Club of Toronto, on March 4th. \n\n\"Canada and India\" is published every other month.

In the petition allegations of fraud and misappropriation of funds were made against two of the directors, and argument upon the question of whether the court could regard these allegations occupied the court on Thursday and Friday and part of yesterday, when the Chief Justice decided that they are admissible. The hearing of the petition is expected to last three weeks.\n\nThe petition was filed by Sun Fat Shan, a merchant residing in China and a shareholder in the company, and was supported by a number of shareholders. The respondent was the Yu Hing Company (Limited), and notice of opposition was also filed by Lee Hyson, Ma Chee Lung and a number of shareholders who claimed to represent nearly half the total share capital of the company.\n\nMr. Duncan McNeill (Shanghai) and Mr. F. C. Jenkin appeared for the petitioners on the instructions of Mr. Crewe (Messrs. Hastings and Hastings); and Mr. C. G. Alabaster, and Mr. Eldon Potter (instructed by Mr. Beavis of Messrs. Wilkinson and Grist) for the respondent company. Mr. Potter also represented Lee Hyson and Ma Chee Lung, the directors against whom the allegations are made.\n\nMr. Alabaster informed his Lordship this morning that since the issue of the new advertisement giving notice of the petition four further shareholders, holding eighty shares, had given notice to oppose the petition; and he now represented the holders of 1,030 shares which was more than half the shares of the company.\n\nMr. McNeill opened the case for the petitioners, and devoted the whole of the hearing to directing his Lordship's attention to the affidavits and declarations. Dealing with petitioners' allegation that the minute books of the company had been faked by certain directors entering minutes of meetings of the company which he submitted were never held, he said that all the declarations filed would be supported by the evidence of witnesses who could be cross-examined. Certain of the petitioning directors (whose names he mentioned) had filed declarations to the effect that since the incorporation of the company no statutory meetings of shareholders were ever held, nor was any report ever filed with the Registrar of Companies as required by law.\n\nCase proceeding.\n\n# Enclosure 4 in No. 1.\n## Memorandum of Agreement.\n\n**MEMORANDUM** of Agreement made the 1st day of October, 1915, between the companies, firms, and persons whose names appear at the end under the heading \"The parties of the first part\" of the one part, and his Excellency Tsai Nai Huang, the special envoy appointed by the Government of the Republic of China by presidential mandate, dated the 30th April, 1915, for the prohibition of the sale of native opium in the provinces of Kiangsu, Kiangsi, and Kwangtung (hereinafter called \"the envoy\") of the other part, whereby it is agreed as follows:—\n\n1. The parties hereto of the first part shall sell and the envoy shall purchase 1,200 chests of certificated opium of which 806 shall be chests belonging to the parties hereto of the first part (as hereinafter defined), or held by them or some of them for sale on account of others, as set out opposite the signatures to this agreement of the parties hereto of the first part, and 394 chests shall be chests obtained by the parties hereto of the first part from Shanghai.\n\n2. All opium sold to the envoy under this agreement shall have been certified by the Indian Government for export to China. All opium purchased under this agreement shall be sold or disposed of by the envoy for consumption in Kwangtung, and no opium shall be shipped to Kiangsu or Kiangsi.\n\n3. The envoy shall pay for all opium, purchase on delivery in the Hong Kong notes of a British bank carrying on business in Hong Kong, at the following prices:\n| Type of Opium | Price per picul | Price per chest |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Malwa opium (old and/or new) Guzerat Malwa | | 9,300 |\n| Patna | | 9,110 |\n| Benares | | 9,150 |\n| | Dollars, per picul | 8,950 |\n\n4. All payments for opium from Shanghai shall be made in taels and the prices set out in clause 3 shall be converted into taels at the rate of 79 taels for each 100 dollars Hong Kong currency, and payment made accordingly, and drafts shall be drawn on Hong Kong against documents in respect of each shipment from Shanghai, and such drafts shall be met by the envoy at the above rate of exchange. Non-duty paid opium from Shanghai shall be shipped to Hong Kong, and duty paid opium shall be shipped to Canton.\n\n4A. If any chest of Malwa opium or of Patna or Benares opium shall, owing to circumstances over which the parties hereto of the first part have no control, contain less than the normal quantity of opium, whether cakes or balls (as the case may be) delivery shall nevertheless be taken by the envoy, but the price shall be proportionately diminished.\n\n5. The weight allowances given to Chinese purchasers in respect of all Malwa opium as specified in clause 8 of the agreement between the parties hereto of the first part of the 8th July, 1913, shall be allowed to the envoy in respect of all opium purchased which is Malwa opium, but such Malwa opium must be weighed within two months from the 1st October, 1915.\n\n6. The envoy shall take delivery without fail of not less than thirty chests of all opium purchased under this agreement during the month of October 1915, and of not less than thirty-five chests during November 1915, and shall thereafter without fail take delivery each month commencing in December 1915 of not less than one-sixteenth of the balance of all opium purchased. If the envoy shall take delivery of any monthly quantity or any portion thereof within thirty days after any month the parties hereto of the first part shall be entitled to sell such opium either by public auction or private contract, and the envoy shall pay to the parties hereto of the first part all losses, damages, costs, charges and expenses incurred or sustained by them.\n\n7. The envoy shall, in respect of all opium purchased under this agreement, pay to Messrs. David Sassoon and Co. (Limited), for each chest of opium taken delivery of by him the sum of 3,500 Mexican dollars, in accordance with the envoy and the Shanghai combine, dated the 1st May, 1915, in addition to the price for such chest as herein before provided.\n\n8. All payments to be made by the envoy for all opium purchased shall be made to Messrs. David Sassoon and Co. (Limited).\n\n9. As security for the performance by the envoy of his obligations under this agreement the envoy shall deposit with Messrs. David Sassoon and Co. (Limited), on behalf of the parties hereto of the first part the sum of 500,000 dollars in the Hong Kong notes of a British bank carrying on business in Hong Kong. Such deposit shall be paid without fail as to 250,000 dollars within three days after the date of this agreement, and as to the balance on or before the 31st October, 1915.\n\n10. Messrs. David Sassoon and Co. (Limited) shall deposit the said sum of 500,000 dollars in the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation on fixed deposit. Subject to the provisions of clause 12 hereof the envoy shall be entitled to all interest allowed by the bank in respect of the deposit.\n\n11. After the envoy has taken delivery of all opium purchased except the last 100 chests, the parties hereto of the first part shall, if no claim shall exist against the envoy in respect of all opium purchased or any part thereof, and subject to any operation of clause 12, refund to him out of the deposit on the clearance of each of the last 100 chests the sum of 5,000 dollars.\n\n12. The said sum of 500,000 dollars deposited, and all interest accrued or accruing thereon, shall be held by the parties hereto of the first part as security for the performance by the envoy of his obligations in respect of all opium purchased. If any claim shall exist against the envoy by reason of his failure to perform any obligation of his in respect of all opium purchased, the parties hereto of the first part shall be entitled, at the expiration of eighteen months from the date hereof, without notice to the envoy to satisfy such claim out of the said sum of 500,000 dollars and all interest accrued or accruing thereon, but the envoy shall remain liable to pay the balance of any such claim to the parties hereto of the first part.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-437 - Public Offices - 1916.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 464873, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-437 - Public Offices - 1916", "page_number": 433, "title": "CO129-437 - Public Offices - 1916", "content_text": "431 \n\nTC \n\n2 \n\n## Enclosure I in No. 1. \n\nExtract from the **\"North China Daily News\"** of September 3, 1915. \n\n### THE USE OF MORPHIA IN MANCHURIA: AN EVIL THAT IS STEADILY DEVELOPING INDIFFERENCE OF JAPANESE OFFICIALS. \n\n**(From our own Correspondent.)** \n\nKirin, August 26, 1915. Undoubtedly one of the most serious questions that requires the immediate attention of the Chinese authorities is the injection of morphia by the poorer Chinese. The evil is growing and increasing with alarming rapidity throughout South Manchuria. It is worse than opium-smoking, for even the poorest coolie can acquire the habit of injection at a cost of as little as 3 cents, whilst the bad effects produced are much more rapid than those of opium. A morphia maniac very soon becomes unfit for work of any kind, and is soon killed off. \n\nIn this present article, I only intend to give a summary of my observations made in the towns of Harbin, Changchun, and Kirin, for the conditions existent in these three places are quite different. This is due to Harbin being a Russian settlement, Changchun a Japanese settlement, whilst Kirin is purely Chinese, all regulations having been framed by the Chinese authorities. Notwithstanding the dissimilarity of conditions existing in these towns, the importation and sale of morphia is entirely in the hands of the Japanese, and it is the subjects of Japan who are guilty of teaching the Chinese to acquire the habit of morphia injection. Most of the drug is imported through Dalny from Japan, and all the so-called patent medicine dealers and shopkeepers are engaged in this detestable traffic, and make goodly profits through it. \n\nIn Harbin, the sale of the drug has not reached such alarming proportions as in all the Japanese railway settlements in South Manchuria, because the Russian police authorities take rigorous steps to prevent the sale of the poison, and any Russian subject found in possession of morphia is sent to prison without the option of a fine. The Russian police do not worry themselves about the doings of the Japanese, for before any arrests can be made, permission must first be got from the Japanese consul, and as soon as the arrest has taken place, the offender has to be handed over to the Japanese consul for trial. \n\n### CHINESE OFFENDERS. \n\nChinese offenders are arrested by the police and handed over to the Chinese authorities, who sentence the law-breakers to a term of imprisonment, but most of these Chinese offenders whom the Russians arrest are drawn from the poorest classes, and are usually unable to do work of any sort, and are only a nuisance to the settlement, so that the police lock them up in a special building, where they are housed and fed. When enough have collected together, they are put in a railway carriage and sent under Russian escort to Changchun, where they are handed over to the Chinese authorities. The latter are not pleased to get these wastrels handed over to their care, but cannot say anything, for the Russians have no use for undesirables in their settlement, and the result of this energetic action on their part is a comparative dearth of Chinese beggars in Harbin compared with other cities in Manchuria. \n\nThe Japanese patent medicine dealers in Harbin usually employ Chinese agents, who go about the streets with a quantity of injection needles, which they use on the arms of Chinese coolies who happen to have a few coppers on them. As lonely alleys and back streets are plentiful, there is not much danger of their being caught in the act. \n\n### IN THE STREETS OF CHANGCHUN. \n\nThe position of the railway settlement in Changchun presents an entirely different aspect, for here the Japanese are masters of the situation, and both opium and morphia trafficking go on quite openly, the local Japanese police showing absolute indifference. The main street, which lies outside the north gate of the city proper, is principally inhabited by Japanese morphia dealers, who open patent medicine shops, and Russian subjects, who keep public bars, where opium is brought and sold quite openly. \n\nAnyone driving through this street cannot help remarking the number of these bars and medicine shops which line the two sides of this well-kept, broad thoroughfare. The Chinese, who, as long as they are in the Japanese settlement, run no risk of being arrested, enter freely into these stores and make their purchases. There is no one about to hinder them in buying either a single injection or large quantities of the drug.\n\nQuite recently, one of these shops was \"held up\" by some Chinese robbers, who succeeded in making away with a quantity of morphia. The Japanese storekeepers were rather badly mauled, and informed the Japanese police of what had taken place, and in their turn, the police complained to the Chinese authorities, making no bones about the fact that the object of the robbery was morphia. \n\n### A PUBLIC DISGRACE AND SCANDAL. \n\nNow, as the Russian authorities are actively assisting the Chinese in their efforts to prevent trafficking in both opium and morphia, and are continually sending their subjects to gaol for this offence, how is it that the Japanese authorities do not do likewise? They are perfectly aware of what is taking place and the harm it is doing, and as the Japanese Government is making no handsome profits from its subjects out of the trading, and as it is a public disgrace and scandal that such a state of affairs is allowed to exist and continue, surely it should be possible for the Chinese authorities to point out to the Japanese, just as they pointed out to the Russians, the necessity for putting an end to these evil practices. \n\nIn Kirin, there is not a large Japanese population, but a good proportion consists of dealers in patent medicines, and the best-selling line is morphia. As the Chinese police are very energetic in their efforts to put down the trading in this drug, the Japanese resort to all sorts of ruses to increase their sales. They employ Chinese agents, who keep clear of the police, supplying their clients regularly and with little risk of being caught. The drug is brought here by train from Changchun, and on several occasions, the Chinese police have arrested Japanese arriving by train and having on their persons large quantities of the poison. These Japanese have been handed over to the Japanese consular authorities, but, according to the statements of the Chinese police officials, as often as not, they go unpunished. \n\nThis evil overshadows all other evils, even that of trafficking in women, and requires to be remedied immediately, for it is spreading rapidly to the remotest hamlets of Manchuria. \n\n## Enclosure 2 in No. 1. \n\nExtract from the **\"North China Daily News\"** of September 14, 1915. \n\n### JAPAN'S MORPHIA TRADE WITH CHINA: A LUCRATIVE BRANCH OF JAPANESE COMMERCE WHAT THE PROFITS ARE AND HOW EARNED. \n\n**(From a Correspondent.)** \n\nA letter from your Kirin correspondent dated the 26th August draws attention to the energy with which Japan is developing her morphia trade in Manchuria, and suggests that this new traffic bids fair to exceed in importance other Japanese industries, even that of 'trafficking in women.' \n\nThe statement is a timely one. The trade in morphia may be described as, within certain limitations, the most immediately lucrative branch of Japanese commerce. Not widely extended, as is the export of women needed to supply the wastage in the Japanese houses of Australia and South America, of India, Siam, and the Straits, of China and Siberia, the export of morphia is confined to the Chinese in Corea and to China, where facilities for its distribution are constantly increasing. \n\nThe thickly-peopled province of Shantung is now being opened to its introduction, and, since the manufacture of morphia has been undertaken under Government supervision in Formosa, roseate possibilities cheer the trader interested in its dissemination throughout the province of Fukien. \n\n`[2548 c-1]` \n\nB 2", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-437 - Public Offices - 1916.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 466253, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-439 - Others - 1916", "page_number": 483, "title": "CO129-439 - Others - 1916", "content_text": "43836\n\n478\n\nMr T\n\nLONG HANG\n\n43836\n\nEx. bike Mark tomto Robe.\n\n1916\n\n13 Sep States for\n\nLast previous Paper.\n\nGov\n\n43620\n\nTel Gov 14 Sep\n\nCopy above del RIT.

They are also the first to cry out and make an elegant fuss if their own interests are threatened, or if anything in the nature of retaliation is employed. There may have been no exact precedent for the liquidations in Hongkong, Singapore and elsewhere, but there was a very real necessity which led our authorities to take action, and it is regrettable that such action did not take place earlier and reciprocate in detail the treatment prepared for British subjects in Kiachow by the Germans.\n\nIt is known the Government of Hong-\n\n366", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-441 - Governor Sir May - 1917 [1-3].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 467626, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-441 - Governor Sir May - 1917 [1-3]", "page_number": 396, "title": "CO129-441 - Governor Sir May - 1917 [1-3]", "content_text": "286\n\nTHE JERNE OL FIEH\n\nadd to monotaalewoɔ Jima art to aboard sit ni aaw ytbroddus\n\nbanzaa 100 to tatakb\n\nbef0-auY eldið hemlatom and otarojosqanı Jims aṣi\n\nadð að vitesfidua to moltmeter mdt - BOLJAN FEBṛto sfiedai JIBU\n\nat jt jud,\"urol\" a jud at 3b sanes a ni @jazo Joaqani nažerod\n\n\"goal\" to valvas a 32 Kalw motorao daɗt saɔ bus mmol [uteau z\n\n.tt mogu ozoda Juswa Jaa dramTTSVóð #sentido arit dous as bas\n\n+nofanat Tɔt højgoba ed of exubenoną oda\n\nad foldw ynolað við n2 JIsa eaɔntdɔ zatvad ddaionəm a\n\nLas besitoidum and yaq Iliw an±10 oint troqut of asfatw\n\n.anɔdanoɑ mi sott10 amojauɔ saantio efið að xat\n\njlw banTĀ\n\noft að vinna nod3 IIkw draforam add jqłacam hlaq qiub a\n\nenzoIST 8 zot modnaŭ ni stamedoemani J[aż sið to scf170\n\nyjub jadi mala or‡ timzog sassing ulit dilw baura bna\n\nstanejoəqani doqni Jisz oft að ħażibero bra blaq need sad\n\nad aheeoong wablod a#j - Jnamsema naod eft mahqu drUGODS\n\nLantubro a'jnamnrevoð sæenido eft – Tone Enakome‡ tiæŭ vdj\n\nastlara bra nožjastuakro eIIedað 31a2 nt evidednesɔnqər\n\njuodtw hausat ed hluada osï0-nu¥ al.\n\nand on one and the same day. The Customs offices in Hongkong could of course be provided with forms and could issue the documents on behalf of the Salt Inspectorate and of the Salt Commissioner. There is, however, I fear little likelihood of the Salt Commissioner's willingness to delegate such authority to the Commissioner of Customs in Hongkong and in fact he has proposed (as Peking has done) that he depute a representative to issue these Yun-Chae from our office in Hongkong.\n\nI am aware that there is a great disinclination on the part of the Government to admit any representative of Chinese officials into the Colony. An exception was made about 1911 when I was in the Colony and a representative of the Canton Police was permitted to reside and operate with the Hongkong Police. I am sure that that permission was greatly appreciated.\n\nI do not know whether under the present Republican regime, a similar arrangement has been made.\n\nI would earnestly ask the Governor favourably to consider the proposal to place a junior Officer, a Clerk, in the Customs Offices here to work under the Commissioner and to grant provisional permission for it. If this is done Sir Richard Dane cannot decline to allow me to issue the release permit on his behalf and thus the three transactions can be put through in the Colony by the merchant in one and the same office and day.\n\nBy having such a man in the Customs Office here we can easily gauge how the Convention procedure is working in actual practice; we have a man at hand through whom we can keep in close touch with the Kwangtung Salt Commissioner - a valuable factor – and if the man causes trouble by departing from his legitimate work, etc., the Government has it in its hand power to request him to leave the Colony.

They ran from a pier lying near Gilman's Bazaar which was erected by them to the Public Wharf in front of Tai Kung Temple.\n\nPrior to this the same parties had run an irregular service to Sam Shui Po but from this date it run regularly, no one else had ever run any service to Sam Shui Po regular, or irregular. After these two parties joined the combination they continued to run the Sam Shui Po service independently save that, if the launches devoted to it had to be laid up for any purpose, the combination supplied launches and took the fare, until the launches so laid up were in commission again.\n\nIn 1914 the Chee Wo Company went bankrupt and their business was purchased by the Tung Hing (another member of the combination) who continued to run the Sam Shui Po service in conjunction with the Tack On Company on the same lines as before. In 1916 the fare was increased to five cents.

These people would be left to be dealt with exactly as at present: by detective enquiries leading to Police Court prosecution wherever possible: or where evidence for the Court might be lacking but the case in the opinion of the Governor in Council justified such action, by banishment. The records of the Colony show that the campaign against traffickers along these lines is actively carried on: and they show also a constant strengthening of the law, generally on the advice of the Chinese.\n\nThe attitude often taken up by foreigners on this question seems to ignore the efforts of the Chinese themselves in Hong Kong and indeed would almost seem to deny them the possession of any proper sympathy or initiative. The institution known as the Po Leung Kuk is evidence to the contrary; and it is difficult to see what better means there are at present of finding a solution for the difficulty. The Kuk is managed and financed by voluntary annual Committees of Chinese, there being in addition a permanent Committee, called when necessary, of the most prominent and public-spirited residents of the Colony. All of them have served on the Annual Committee, and on other charitable Committees as well. The Kuk itself is the Girls' Home and in it are kept cases under consideration: special ordinance gives the necessary powers: but very many cases are dealt... \n\n:7829 003 ad biwow noisavc squssed (ia) traila aqadireg nevs 10 ydtaqmıya vilduq xosi bluow îna od dimette avoiros yas dedd anoiteluged ant yd.

In the same report, the average consumption per male adult Chinese over 15 years of age is estimated at 47.9 chees per head. It is difficult to understand why, in taking the average, the age taken is that of \"over 15 years of age,\" when the sale of chandu is forbidden to any but Chinese males over 21 years of age. No person below the age of 16 may enter the public smoking rooms, but the entry of Chinese males between the ages of 16 and 21 does not carry permission to purchase chandu. If the average were taken on the basis of Chinese over 21 years of age, the amount estimated of consumption would necessarily be above that of 47.9 chees per head. Does the Governor of Singapore mean that all the Chinese over 21 years of age smoke opium? If so, the evil is greater than had been imagined. Whether or not this be so, apparently the Government is prepared to supply opium to all adult male Chinese in the Malay States, and the amount anyone may possess of chandu, except under licence, is 74 tahils, or 10 ounces. It would therefore be possible for any adult male Chinese to possess at any time far more opium than even the most infatuated smoker would consume in one day, and thus, provided he has the money to make the purchase, any adult male Chinese can gratify his craving to whatever extent he pleases. The high price of chandu is supposed to be a means of decreasing the extension of the habit, making it rather a luxury for the rich than a possibility for all, but this seems inconsistent with the recommendation of the committee for abolishing the use of opium, since they assert (p. 13) that prohibition would have a very detrimental effect on the labour force, from which it is evident that opium is supplied at a price which makes possible its purchase by the labourer. With regard to British Malaya, then, the Government has a monopoly of the sale of opium, and apparently furnishes sufficient for the free indulgence of opium smoking of the whole Chinese adult male population, rich and poor.\n\nConcerning Hong Kong, the report of the Superintendent of Imports and Exports at Hong Kong for the year 1919 gives the following figures:\n\n| Category | Amount |\n| --- | --- |\n| Stock on the 1st January, 1919 | 253 chests |\n| Imported during the year | 1,290 |\n\nOf these chests, 377 were boiled by Government monopoly, 376 chests were sent to Keelung, Formosa, and 374 chests were sent to Macao. Of the chests sent to Formosa, it may be surmised that the greater portion of the opium was manufactured into morphia, and that either as morphia or opium, the ultimate destination of most of it would be China. With regard to the opium sent to Macao, the letter from Mr. Claud Severn to Viscount Milner mentions a case in which 153,600 taels of opium, professedly shipped for Chile on the steamship \"Amherst,\" were disposed of in some surreptitious way, that is, it must have been ultimately smuggled into China, or some other place in the Far East. Thus, out of 1,543 chests, 750 were not used in Hong Kong, and a large proportion of them were disposed of by illicit trade.\n\nThese facts do not seem consistent with the statement that the Governments of Hong Kong and British Malaya are carrying out the aims of The Hague Convention. Viscount Milner expresses the opinion that the letters of Mr. James and Mr. Severn \"will convince any impartial tribunal that the terms of The Hague Convention are being fully and conscientiously complied with by the Governments of British Malaya and Hong Kong,\" but with due respect to the opinion of Lord Milner, the board of directors cannot but feel that the publication of these facts would lead to a different opinion in the minds of all impartial observers.\n\n## 2. \nIn addition to the legitimate trade, the letters and reports recognise a very extensive trade in smuggling. Concerning this, Mr. James writes: \"I consider it is not unlikely that, if the licit trade in opium were abolished, all efforts to cope with the menace of opium smuggling and the use of deleterious drugs must prove abortive until such time as the production of opium and the manufacture of such derivatives as morphia and cocaine are so controlled in all producing countries as strictly to correspond with what the world actually requires for medical and legitimate purposes.\" Also, in the report attached to Mr. James's letter and signed A. R. Chancellor, D. Beatty, and G. Gordon Wilson, we find: \"So long as the poppy is cultivated in countries from which there is easy sea communication with the Straits, such as India, Persia, and China, there will always be the temptation to smuggle the product of the plant if the profit to be obtained is sufficiently lucrative.\"\n\nFurther, Mr. Claud Severn quotes the opinion of Messrs. Alfred Holt and Co., who say that: \"So long as it is possible for the principals in England to acquire large quantities of opium for export, so long will it be possible for small parcels to be smuggled. So long as opium can thus be sold wholesale in this country, so long will the joint operation of laxity in the United Kingdom and severity abroad make illicit traffic easy and profitable. Messrs. Alfred Holt and Co. would therefore urge upon His Majesty's Government the necessity of altering the law, so that the contraband trade may be stopped in its early stages.\" Mr. Severn also remarks: \"I have endeavoured to show that the initiative should lie elsewhere, and that with sufficient assistance from outside, the problem of opium suppression in Hong Kong is at once and finally solved.\"\n\nThe board of directors would express their entire agreement with these opinions, but they submit that the correct deduction from them is not to support a licit trade, since that does not prevent smuggling, but to limit the production of all narcotics to the amounts sufficient for medical uses, and this can be done only through international agreements.\n\n## 3. \nIn reply to the argument that if the traffic in opium is abolished, there will be great dangers arising from the use of alcoholic drinks and other deleterious drugs such as morphia and cocaine.\n\nThe board fails to see the relevancy of this argument. It is as if one were to watch complacently an infatuated person poison himself slowly with arsenic because if prevented, he might poison himself a little more expeditiously with hydrocyanic acid. The Indian Government permits a considerable traffic in arrack and toddy and gives as a reason that if prevented, the people will indulge in narcotics. Now we are told that people should be permitted to indulge in narcotics for fear that if prevented, they will take to alcoholic drinks. When it is recalled that the sale of alcoholic drinks and of opium both swell the revenues in British possessions in Asia, it is difficult to believe that the question is not in some degree affected by the amounts raised for revenue.\n\nThat a traffic in opium should be legalised because if it is not, there will be a dangerous use of morphia seems all the more astonishing, for the Government of India produces the largest amounts of opium, and out of this are manufactured the enormous supplies of morphia, which are being introduced and sold illicitly in China, the amount of opium produced being far in excess of what is required for legitimate medical uses. The reasons that have led to severe legal enactments controlling the manufacture and sale of morphia and preparations should lead to similar enactments controlling the sale of all deleterious drugs; and the same arguments can be applied to the necessity for legally controlling the manufacture and sale of inferior and detrimental alcoholic drinks, such as would be used by the general public to replace the indulgence in narcotics.\n\nThe argument used in the recommendations of the committee for abolishing the use of opium, that \"it deprived of opium, it is only human nature that some substitute will be adopted\" and that \"the Chinese will have opium if it can be procured,\" set forth in Mr. Severn's letter, can hardly be taken seriously. It is not true concerning the Chinese, for although many Chinese are prone to indulge in the use of opium, it is not more than a century and a half since this habit took hold of the Chinese. Nor is it probable that at any time more than 1 per cent. of the Chinese people indulged in the opium habit, although in some districts the percentage was enormously high. If the narcotics cannot be procured, the Chinese not only can do very well without them, but they are in every way better, socially, morally, and physically.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n**General Secretary** \n\n## 1 \n316", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-471 - Public Offices - 1921.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 489834, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-471 - Public Offices - 1921", "page_number": 325, "title": "CO129-471 - Public Offices - 1921", "content_text": "# \n\n324 \n\nThe amount of opium sold in British Malaya in 1920 was 355,368 tahils, 3 chees, and 6 hoons less than in 1919. The amount sold was no less than 1,290,289 tahils, 5 chees, approximately 19 tons (see p. 5). In the same report, the average consumption per male adult Chinese over 15 years of age is estimated at 479 chees per head. It is difficult to understand why, in taking the average, the age taken is that of \"over 15 years of age,\" when the sale of chandu is forbidden to any but Chinese males over 21 years of age. No person below the age of 16 may enter the public smoking rooms, but the entry of Chinese males between the ages of 16 and 21 does not carry permission to purchase chandu. If the average were taken on the basis of Chinese over 21 years of age, the amount estimated of consumption would necessarily be above that of 470 chees per head. Does the Governor of Singapore mean that all the Chinese over 21 years of age smoke opium? If so, the evil is greater than has been imagined. Whether or not this be so, apparently the Government is prepared to supply opium to all adult male Chinese in the Malay States, and the amount anyone may possess of chandu, except under licence, is 7 tahils, or 10 ounces. It would therefore be possible for any adult male Chinese to possess at any time far more opium than even the most infatuated smoker would consume in one day, and thus, provided he has the money to make the purchase, any adult male Chinese can gratify his craving to whatever extent he pleases. The high price of chandu is supposed to be a means of decreasing the extension of the habit, making it rather a luxury for the rich than a possibility for all, but this seems inconsistent with the recommendation of the committee for abolishing the use of opium, since they assert (p. 13) that prohibition would have a very detrimental effect on the labour force, from which it is evident that opium is supplied at a price which makes possible its purchase by the labourer. With regard to British Malaya, then, the Government has a monopoly of the sale of opium, and apparently furnishes sufficient for the free indulgence of opium smoking of the whole Chinese adult male population, rich and poor.\n\n## Concerning Hong Kong\n\nThe report of the Superintendent of Imports and Exports at Hong Kong for the year 1919 gives the following figures:\n\n| Stock on the 1st January, 1919 | Imported during the year |\n| ------------------------------- | ------------------------- |\n| 253 chests | 1,290 |\n\nOf these chests, 377 were boiled by Government monopoly, 376 chests were sent to Keelung, Formosa, and 374 chests were sent to Macao. Of the chests sent to Formosa, it may be surmised that the greater portion of the opium was manufactured into morphia, and that either as morphia or opium, the ultimate destination of most of it would be China. With regard to the opium sent to Macao, the letter from Mr. Claud Severn to Viscount Milner mentions a case in which 153,600 taels of opium, professedly shipped for Chile on the steamship \"Amherst,\" were disposed of in some surreptitious way, that is, it must have been ultimately smuggled into China, or some other place in the Far East. Thus, out of 1,543 chests, 750 were not used in Hong Kong, and a large proportion of them were disposed of by illicit trade.\n\nThese facts do not seem consistent with the statement that the Governments of Hong Kong and British Malaya are carrying out the aims of The Hague Convention. Viscount Milner expresses the opinion that the letters of Mr. James and Mr. Severn \"will convince any impartial tribunal that the terms of The Hague Convention are being fully and conscientiously complied with by the Governments of British Malaya and Hong Kong,\" but with due respect to the opinion of Lord Milner, the board of directors cannot but feel that the publication of these facts would lead to a different opinion in the minds of all impartial observers.\n\n## \n\n2. In addition to the legitimate trade, the letters and reports recognise a very extensive trade in smuggling. Concerning this, Mr. James writes: \"I consider it is not unlikely that, if the licit trade in opium were abolished, all efforts to cope with the menace of opium smuggling and the use of deleterious drugs must prove abortive until such time as the production of opium and the manufacture of such derivatives as morphia and cocaine are so controlled in all producing countries as strictly to correspond with what the world actually requires for medical and legitimate purposes.\" Also, in the report attached to Mr. James's letter and signed A. R. Chancellor, D. Beatty, and G. Gordon Wilson, we find: \"So long as the poppy is cultivated in countries from which there is easy sea communication with the Straits, such as India, Persia, and China, there will always be the temptation to smuggle the product of the plant if the profit to be obtained is sufficiently lucrative.\"\n\nFurther, Mr. Claud Severn quotes the opinion of Messrs. Alfred Holt and Co., who say that: \"So long as it is possible for the principals in England to acquire large quantities of opium for export, so long will it be possible for small parcels to be smuggled. So long as opium can thus be sold wholesale in this country, so long will the joint operation of laxity in the United Kingdom and severity abroad make illicit traffic easy and profitable.\" Messrs. Alfred Holt and Co. would therefore urge upon His Majesty's Government the necessity of altering the law, so that the contraband trade may be stopped in its early stages. Mr. Severn also remarks: \"I have endeavoured to show that the initiative should lie elsewhere, and that with sufficient assistance from outside, the problem of opium suppression in Hong Kong is at once and finally solved.\"\n\nThe board of directors would express their entire agreement with these opinions, but they submit that the correct deduction from them is not to support a licit trade, since that does not prevent smuggling, but to limit the production of all narcotics to the amounts sufficient for medical uses, and this can be done only through international agreements.\n\n## \n\n3. In reply to the argument that if the traffic in opium is abolished, there will be great dangers arising from the use of alcoholic drinks and other deleterious drugs such as morphia and cocaine.\n\nThe board fails to see the relevancy of this argument. It is as if one were to watch complacently an infatuated person poison himself slowly with arsenic because if prevented, he might poison himself a little more expeditiously with hydrocyanic acid. The Indian Government permits a considerable traffic in arrack and toddy and gives as a reason that if prevented, the people will indulge in narcotics. Now we are told that people should be permitted to indulge in narcotics for fear that if prevented, they will take to alcoholic drinks. When it is recalled that the sale of alcoholic drinks and of opium both swell the revenues in British possessions in Asia, it is difficult to believe that the question is not in some degree affected by the amounts raised for revenue.\n\nThat a traffic in opium should be legalised because if it is not, there will be a dangerous use of morphia seems all the more astonishing, for the Government of India produces the largest amounts of opium, and out of this are manufactured the enormous supplies of morphia, which are being introduced and sold illicitly in China, the amount of opium produced being far in excess of what is required for legitimate medical uses. The reasons that have led to severe legal enactments controlling the manufacture and sale of morphia and preparations should lead to similar enactments controlling the sale of all deleterious drugs; and the same arguments can be applied to the necessity for legally controlling the manufacture and sale of inferior and detrimental alcoholic drinks, such as would be used by the general public to replace the indulgence in narcotics.\n\nThe argument used in the recommendations of the committee for abolishing the use of opium, that \"if deprived of opium, it is only human nature that some substitute will be adopted\" and that \"the Chinese will have opium if it can be procured,\" set forth in Mr. Severn's letter, can hardly be taken seriously. It is not true concerning the Chinese, for although many Chinese are prone to indulge in the use of opium, it is not more than a century and a half since this habit took hold of the Chinese. Nor is it probable that at any time more than 1 per cent. of the Chinese people indulged in the opium habit, although in some districts the percentage was enormously high. If the narcotics cannot be procured, the Chinese not only can do very well without them, but they are in every way better, socially, morally, and physically.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n, \n\nGeneral Secretary.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-471 - Public Offices - 1921.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 490279, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-471 - Public Offices - 1921", "page_number": 770, "title": "CO129-471 - Public Offices - 1921", "content_text": "# Enclosure 5 in No. 1.\n\n## Copy of Agreement\n\n**AGREEMENT** made this 23rd day of April, 1920, being the 9th year of the Republic of China 3rd day 4th moon, between the Government of the province of Kwangtung, in the Republic of China, represented by their Excellencies the Military and Civil Governors of the province of Kwangtung (hereinafter called \"the Kwangtung Government\") of the one part, and Major Louis Cassel (retired), of Victoria, in the colony of Hong Kong, an officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, and Sum Pak Ming, of Victoria aforesaid, gentleman, as trustees for and on behalf of a syndicate to be formed for the purpose of exploiting certain coal-bearing districts in the said province (hereinafter called \"the syndicate\"), of the other part, whereby it is agreed by and between the parties hereto as follows :-\n\n1. The Kwangtung Government will permit the syndicate to bore, examine and survey all such ground as the syndicate may be advised, or have reason to believe, contains coal within the following districts (abutting over or adjacent to the Canton-Hankow Railway and the Canton-Kowloon Railway), viz., Nam Hoi, Pun U, Tang Koon, Po On, Sam Sui, Fa Yuen, Ying Tak, Ching Yuen, Yeng Shan, Liu Yuen Kuk Kong, Lok Cheong, Yue Yuen, Yan Fa, Chee Hing, Nam Hung, Fat Kong, Yung Yuen, Ko Ming, Tsang Shing, Taung Fa, &c., and the Government will not after the date of the signing of the agreement grant permits to any other persons, firm or company to bore, examine, survey and mine in any of the districts above mentioned until the period set forth in clause 13 hereof shall have lapsed.\n\n2. The Kwangtung Government shall cause this agreement to be provisionally signed and chopped, whereupon the syndicate shall take all such steps as may be necessary to obtain the official sanction and approval thereto of the Central Government of China at Peking, and upon such sanction and approval being obtained, the Kwangtung Government shall ratify this agreement, and immediately thereupon the syndicate shall deposit with the Kwangtung Government the sum of 100,000 dollars Hong Kong currency.\n\n3. Within a period of nine months from the ratification aforesaid of this agreement the syndicate shall, in the event of the said boring, examination and survey of the ground in the districts aforesaid appearing to the syndicate to justify the syndicate so doing, float a company to be called \"The Kwangtung Collieries (Limited),\" with a nominal capital of 10,000,000 dollars for the purpose of working coal mines in the said districts and of dealing with the coal thereby secured, and shall transfer to such company all rights and benefits and liabilities of the syndicate under this agreement.\n\n4. In the event of no such company being floated by the syndicate within the said period of nine months, the Kwangtung Government shall be entitled to retain the said sum of 100,000 dollars, and this agreement shall thereupon determine. But in the event of such company being floated, a further sum of 900,000 dollars (making with the said sum of 100,000 dollars a sum of altogether 1,000,000 dollars) shall be deposited within the said period of nine months by that company with the Kwangtung Government as security for the due carrying out by the company of its objects, as set out in the memorandum and articles of association.\n\n5. The said sum of 1,000,000 dollars, when so deposited in pursuance of clause 4 hereof, shall bear interest at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, which interest the company shall be entitled to deduct from the dividends payable to the Kwangtung Government or its nominees in pursuance of the provisions of clause 8 hereof. There shall be further deducted from its dividends so payable to the Kwangtung Government or its nominees 4 per cent. per annum on the said sum of 1,000,000 dollars for the purpose of forming an amortisation or sinking fund, which shall be exchanged in sums of not less than 10,000 dollars for the \"B\" shares referred to in clause 8 hereof, until the whole of the said sum of 1,000,000 dollars shall be so received by the company. If no dividend is payable, the Kwangtung Government will not receive any interest on the said sum of 1,000,000 dollars. If the dividend payable is not sufficient to pay the interest of the said sum of 1,000,000 dollars, the Kwangtung Government will not make up the deficit. The deduction from the dividend for forming the amortisation or sinking fund is similarly calculated. If the company goes into liquidation the deposited money shall be retained by the Kwangtung Government and this agreement will determine.\n\n6. The said capital of 10,000,000 dollars (fixed as the nominal capital of the company to be floated as aforesaid) shall be divided into 1,000,000 shares of 10 dollars each, half of which shall be classed as \"B\" shares, and shall be considered as fully paid-up shares and be allotted by the directors of the company, who are of Chinese nationality, in such manner as they may decide (subject to the provisions of clause 8 hereof).\n\n7. The articles of association of the said company to be floated as aforesaid shall provide that, out of the profits of the company there shall be first paid all working expenses, a royalty not exceeding 1 dollar per ton of all coal extracted and dealt with, all reasonable expenses to staff, sums properly payable to the Kwangtung Government, and interest at the rate of 8 per cent per annum on the capital represented by the \"A\" shares to the holders thereof; and the remainder of the said profits as shall be declared available for dividend shall be paid by way of dividend to holders of \"A\" and \"B\" shares equally.\n\n8. Upon the incorporation of the company to be floated as aforesaid, the company shall make the following allotment of shares, namely:-\n\n| Clause | Allotment Details |\n| --- | --- |\n| (a) | Fully-paid \"B\" shares to the nominal value of 1,000,000 dollars which shall be held by the company in trust for the Kwangtung Government, the dividends on which shall inter alia form the amortisation or sinking fund referred to in clause 5 hereof. As and when sums of not less than 10,000 dollars are available in the said amortisation or sinking fund, the said fully-paid \"B\" shares to an equivalent value shall be transferred to the Kwangtung Government. |\n| (b) | Fully-paid \"B\" shares to the nominal value of 500,000 dollars to trustees to be nominated by the Kwangtung Government for the benefit of the poor people in the province of Kwangtung. |\n| (c) | Fully-paid \"B\" shares to the nominal value of 500,000 dollars to trustees to be nominated by the Kwangtung Government for educational purposes in the province of Kwangtung. |\n\nIn consideration of the said allotments as aforesaid, the Government will cause to be executed all such documents as may be necessary for the purpose of definitely granting to such company the right, for a period of ninety years from the date of such incorporation, to bore, dig, extract, transport, export and sell, or otherwise utilise, all or any portion of the coal extracted from all or any of the areas mentioned in clause 13 hereof, except the areas conceded to other companies and worked on a commercial basis as provided in clause 18 hereof.\n\n9. The company shall pay to the Kwangtung Government only such duties as are for the time being imposed upon the Kailan Mining Administration.\n\n10. At the expiration of the said period of ninety years the same may be extended or continued upon such terms and conditions as may be mutually agreed upon between the Government and the company so to be incorporated aforesaid.\n\n11. From the date of the ratification of this agreement and during the said period of ninety years and extended period (if any), the Kwangtung Government shall use its best endeavours to protect the persons employed by the said company, and their rights of property, and the rights of property of the said company, in the mines, machinery, buildings, plant and any other goods, effects or property to which the said persons and the said company may be entitled for the time being.\n\n12. The articles of association of the company to be floated as aforesaid shall further contain provisions to the following effect :-\n\n| Clause | Provision Details |\n| --- | --- |\n| (1) | That the board of directors of such company shall consist of seven persons, three of whom shall be elected by the holders of \"A\" shares, and shall be of European nationality, and three of whom shall be elected by the holders of \"B\" shares, and shall be of Chinese nationality. The remaining director shall be of British nationality, and shall be elected by the other six directors. |\n| (2) | That the staff of the said company shall consist of a European manager and of such European engineers or supervisors as may be deemed necessary by the company, and shall also consist of two secretaries, one of whom shall be of British or other European nationality, and the other of Chinese nationality. |\n| (3) | That the unskilled labourers shall all be of Chinese nationality, and so far as possible be natives of the districts in which they are employed. |\n| (4) | That the existing laws and regulations of China with regard to mining shall be followed. |\n\n13. Immediately upon payment of the said sum of 100,000 dollars referred to in clause 2 hereof, the company shall have the right to demarcate within a period... \n\nPage 768", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-471 - Public Offices - 1921.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 491243, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-473 - Individuals - 1921", "page_number": 236, "title": "CO129-473 - Individuals - 1921", "content_text": "234\n\nMEH. // 47371/\n\n12\n\nDRAFT.\n\nMr.\n\nC.D.\n\nandraft pleas=\n\nMhs C.B.L.

Je viens seulement remercier cette illustre Assemblée et lui apporter l'hommage de mon gouvernement, ainsi qu'aux autres Institutions qui ont pensé à réaliser cette grande œuvre de charité et d'humanité.\n\nComme représentant de l'Orient et du monde islamique, il est de mon devoir de dire que celui-ci regarde toute cette œuvre de charité avec le plus grand intérêt et qu'il est prêt à faire tout son possible pour aider à la chrétienté et à l'humanité tout entière. Aucune différence n'existe entre le monde islamique et le monde catholique; tous, nous faisons partie de l'humanité et nous devons nous aider les uns les autres. D'autre part, comme représentant de la Perse, proche voisine de la Russie, je tiens à vous communiquer les renseignements que mon gouvernement a reçus. Le peuple persan est prêt à donner des quantités considérables de blé, de riz et de farine pour les pauvres affamés de Russie, qui meurent de froid dans cet immense pays. Il faut faire tout ce que nous pourrons pour les secourir. C'est notre tâche, c'est celle de toutes les sociétés de bienfaisance et spécialement de la Société des Nations.\n\nJe remercie M. le Docteur Nansen, qui s'est donné tant de peine et qui est toujours prêt à faire son possible dans ce sens. Les paroles si claires et si justes de M. Motta ont suffi pour vous mettre au courant de la situation actuelle en Russie. Les causes de cette famine, tout le monde les connaît: la sécheresse, les conséquences de la guerre, le manque de moyens de communications, etc. Ce n'est pas pour la Russie seule, mais pour le monde entier, un immense danger.\n\nLa Perse a été victime, en 1918-1919, d'une grande famine. Malheureusement, à ce moment, le monde était en guerre et, sauf les Etats-Unis, qui nous ont un peu aidé, les autres nations n'ont pas pu venir au secours de la Perse, car elles avaient assez à faire pour elles-mêmes. Comme je l'ai déclaré l'année dernière au sein de la première Assemblée, des centaines de milliers de femmes et d'enfants ont succombé aux suites de cette famine. Plus tard, ce fut la Chine qui fut victime de ce fléau, ainsi que les journaux l'ont relaté l'année dernière.\n\nJe ne sais pas si la Société des Nations a fait ce qu'elle pouvait pour venir en aide à la Chine, l'année dernière. Aujourd'hui, c'est la Russie qui doit être secourue; l'année prochaine ce sera peut-être une autre nation encore.\n\nN'oubliez pas qu'après la famine surgissent d'ordinaire des maladies contagieuses. Les constitutions affaiblies par le manque de nourriture ne résistent pas et le choléra et la peste finissent par faire plus de victimes que la famine elle-même. Ce danger est surtout grand pour les pays voisins de la Russie, pour la Perse, pour la Pologne, pour les pays baltiques et peut-être pour l'Europe entière. Nous savons que, dans notre pays, dans les provinces frontières de la Russie, au nord de la Perse, il y a déjà quelques centaines de victimes du choléra.\n\nAu nom du monde islamique, au nom de l'Orient, au nom de l'Humanité entière, je prie l'Assemblée de se rallier au rapport qui lui est présenté par la sixième Commission. Une décision sera prise à la Conférence de Bruxelles et nous espérons bien que les gouvernements des grandes Puissances, qui ont toujours travaillé pour le bien de la civilisation et de l'humanité, ne manqueront pas de faire tout ce qu'ils peuvent pour secourir la Russie. L'Orient est prêt à marcher à leurs côtés dans cette tâche noble et charitable. (Applaudissements.)\n\nM. ENCKELL (Finlande).--Dans l'article 5 de son rapport, la Commission mentionne les souffrances de l'Azerbaïdjan, de la Géorgie et de l'Arménie comme étant dignes de l'attention spéciale des organisations charitables. On sait généralement que les différents peuples du Caucase avaient, après la révolution russe, constitué des gouvernements démocratiques nationaux et que le Gouvernement des Soviets avait solennellement reconnu leur indépendance. En réalité, cette indépendance n'a pas été sincèrement respectée, attendu que des troupes de l'armée rouge des Soviets soutiennent actuellement dans ce pays des gouvernements communistes qui ne peuvent se maintenir au pouvoir que grâce à cet appui. La présence des troupes russes a, comme il est dit dans notre rapport, aggravé la famine.\n\nLes habitants de la Carélie orientale (vaste territoire à l'Est de la frontière finlandaise), frères de race de leurs voisins de Finlande, sont dans la même situation désespérée que les populations du Caucase. Par une déclaration solennelle, communiquée au Gouvernement de Finlande, le Gouvernement des Soviets avait promis d'accorder aux Caréliens une large autonomie et de retirer les troupes russes de leur pays. Ces promesses n'ont pas été tenues et des vivres, exportés de Finlande, pour être distribués à la population carélienne affamée, ont, d'après les dernières nouvelles, été réservés aux troupes d'occupation.\n\nLes Caréliens qui, par milliers, se sont réfugiés en Finlande pour échapper à la terreur rouge et à la famine, ont prié le Gouvernement finlandais de porter leur situation désespérée à la connaissance de la Société des Nations. J'ose donc exprimer respectueusement l'espoir que l'œuvre de secours internationale, que nous voudrions tous voir bientôt entreprise sous la direction de l'éminent Haut-Commissaire de la Conférence de Genève et à laquelle les organisations charitables de mon pays sont prêtes à participer, profitera aussi à la Carélie orientale.

LE PRÉSIDENT RELATIVE A L'ORDRE DU JOUR.\n\nM. le PRÉSIDENT. → Le président de la première Commission me prie de vous annoncer que la séance de cette Commission aura lieu cet après-midi à 15 heures précises, au lieu de 14 heures 30.\n\nJe tiens également à vous faire part de mon intention, si la discussion des conclusions du rapport sur l'œuvre de secours aux populations russes n'est pas terminée ce matin, de vous proposer de tenir cet après-midi, à 17 heures 30 ou à 18 heures, une autre séance pour en finir avec cette question.\n\nV. REPRISE DE LA DISCUSSION SUR L'OEUVRE DE SECOURS AUX POPULATIONS RUSSES.\n\n(Rapport de la sixième Commission)\n\nM. PRÉSIDENT, - La parole est à M. Spalarkovitch\n\nM. SPALAIKOVITCH (Etat serbe-croate-slovène). Messieurs, je ne voterai pas contre la résolution présentée par M. Motta, parce qu'elle ne renferme rien de nuisible et qu'elle est inoffensive. Mais je ne voterai pas non plus pour cette résolution, parce qu'elle est sans couleur et qu'elle ne contient pas ce qu'elle devrait contenir en la circonstance.\n\nElle ne rend pas, en effet, au peuple russe, le seul service que la Société des Nations pourrait lui rendre au milieu de l'effroyable détresse dans laquelle il se trouve; elle ne souffle pas un mot de la vraie cause de ses immenses malheurs, puisqu'elle ne se prononce pas sur le bolchevisme. C'est là une lacune qui me semble, tant au point de vue humanitaire qu'au point de vue politique, incompatible avec le rôle et le but de la Société des Nations qui est, en réalité, une société des Etats.\n\nOn nous a dit que nous devions, lorsqu'il s'agit d'une œuvre humanitaire, éliminer tous les éléments politiques. Je ne suis pas de cet avis. Si nous étions les délégués de la Croix-Rouge, je comprendrais que nous ne devions pas nous immiscer dans des questions politiques à propos d'œuvres humanitaires. Mais nous sommes avant tout les représentants de nos gouvernements. C'est pourquoi, en parlant de la famine en Russie et de la résolution qui s'y rapporte, je me placerai uniquement au point de vue politique et je présenterai mes observations au nom de mon gouvernement.\n\nComme vous tous, Messieurs, je ne puis que louer les nobles sentiments qui inspirent M. le Dr Nansen, mais je regrette de lui dire que son entreprise, dans les conditions qui nous ont été indiquées, est vouée d'avance à un échec certain.\n\nJe déclare que mon gouvernement ne donnera pas un seul centime pour l'œuvre de secours à la Russie dans les conditions qui nous ont été présentées par M. le Dr Nansen et après les stipulations de l'accord passé avec M. Tchitchérine, car ces conditions et ces stipulations ne nous offrent aucune garantie. En attendant, mon gouvernement continuera à secourir les\n\nIV. COMMUNICATION BY THE PRESIDENT CONCERNING THE AGENDA\n\nThe PRESIDENT, Interpreter:\n\nI beg to inform the Assembly that Committee No. instead of meeting at 2.30 p.m., will meet at 3 o'clock. If the debate on the Russian Famine is not finished this morning, I will, at the end of this meeting, announce to you an hour later in the afternoon at which the Assembly will meet again.\n\nV. CONTINUATION OF THE DISCUSSION ON RELIEF WORK IN RUSSIA.\n\n(Report of the Sixth Committee).\n\nDr. SPALAIKOVITCH (Serb-Croat-Slovene State, Interpreter:\n\nI do not propose to vote against M. Motta's Resolution. I see no harm in it, but I am not going to vote for it, because I do not consider that it contains what is needed in this particular crisis. I think it is colourless. It does not give to the Russian people the only thing that will really do them any good, and the only thing that it is in our power to do. There is not a word as to the real cause of this trouble, which is Bolshevism. I feel that the League of Nations should not pass this matter without any reference to the real cause of the evil. We are told that we must say nothing about politics. If we were Delegates of the Red Cross, I could understand that, but we are not; we are Delegates of our Governments, and therefore we must look at this matter from the point of view of politics and speak in the name of our Governments.\n\nI have nothing but praise for the noble sentiments of Dr. Nansen, but I think it my duty to tell you that his work is sure to fail under present circumstances. My Government cannot give a penny to Russian relief under the terms of the agreements between Dr. Nansen and M. Tchicherin because we consider that no guarantees are given. My Government will continue to support the thousands of Russian families who have taken refuge in my country and who have flown from Bolshevism. We have as much sympathy as any of you. We have given our last penny to save our Russian brothers from starvation. But we have no confidence in the Government of Moscow.\n\nThe cause of the famine is not the dry season—it is the Bolshevist regime. It is that which has made a hell on earth of Russia, and has tried to do the same in other countries. Bolshevism is the negation of any stable or sensible Government. The Moscow Government have sought to make all equal, and they have made all equal in misery. When the productive power of Russia was diminished, the workers from the towns took refuge in the country, and then later, owing to their system of confiscation and Communism, the", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-473 - Individuals - 1921.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 492279, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-475 - Governor Sir Stubbs & Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1922 [5-7]", "page_number": 209, "title": "CO129-475 - Governor Sir Stubbs & Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1922 [5-7]", "content_text": "CRUELTY TO MUI TSAI.\n\nTHREE MONTHS' IMPRISONMENT FOR MISTRESS.\n\nBefore Mr. Lindsell, at the Magistracy, on Sept. 1st, a Chinese woman, living at No. 20, Hillier Street, was charged with assaulting a 10-year-old mui tsai.\n\nMr. F. X. d'Almada appeared for the accused.\n\nDr. W. B. A. Moore said that on August 8th he examined the child. She was suffering from a superficial burn on the left ear. There were some dried-up sores on the face—two on the right cheek and one on each of the upper eyelids. There was a recent burn on the right forearm and several scab sores, which might have been the result of burns, and there was also a superficial burn on the left forearm just below the elbow, and several small sores on the wrist. The nail of the fourth finger of the left hand was black. There were three small superficial burns on the right instep, and one on the outer side of the left instep. There was a small mark on the right hip. The child seemed well-nourished and intelligent and the marks were all very superficial. The marks of burns were such as might have been caused by lighted matches.\n\nThe mui tsai, in the witness-box, said that she had been with the accused for about 5 years. Her parents were still alive, and she knew them. The accused was not a good mistress to her. She often beat her with firewood and tied her to the bed-post, \"because,\" she said, \"I was naughty.\"\n\nQuestioned by the Magistrate, the mui tsai said that the accused tied her hands behind her back. Her legs were not tied.\n\nThe Magistrate: When she tied you could you walk—No.—Could you move your body—Yes.\n\nHow did you get those burns?—The defendant burned me with a tong.\n\nWas the tong red hot?—No, she picked up a piece of burning coal from the stove with it and touched my face, hands, and legs with the coal.\n\nOn how many occasions did she burn you?—Only once.\n\nWhy? Because she said I was naughty. How long was it after the burning that you were taken to the police?—I went the following day.\n\nWhat did she say you did to be called naughty? She said I did not do my work. How did you get the old scars on your wrists?—Through a beating some time ago. And the mark on your buttock?—Also, as the result of the beating.\n\nShown two pieces of split bamboo, the child said they were used by the accused to beat her. A cord was used for tying her.\n\nWhen she was burning you, could you not run away?—No, it was done in the kitchen with the door closed.\n\nCross-examined by Mr. d'Almada, witness said that she knew the accused's brother-in-law, who had been to court against the accused over a dispute about jewellery. It was true that the brother-in-law laid the information about the assault on witness.\n\nThe brother-in-law of the accused said that he lived opposite the accused's house and heard the mui tsai cry, because he had often heard her crying. On the night of the 16th, the cry was more touching than usual. He went to the house at 11 a.m. on the 17th, but saw neither the accused nor the girl. As he was busy, he went away. The following day he went to the house again. He saw the mui tsai, who cried and told him that she had been beaten on the 16th. He saw the burns and reported to the police.\n\nA Chinese constable said that he visited the house on the 18th. The defendant was not there. The child complained of being tied and beaten. She produced the rope and the bamboo splits. An amah supported the child's story.\n\nMr. d'Almada said that the accused would admit punishing the child, but not burning her. The defendant was the only witness he proposed to call for the defence, but before doing so, he would like to point out that the amah, who was the only person alleged to have witnessed the burning, had not been called to support the child's story.\n\nSergt. Stimson interposed that the amah had absconded and could not be found.\n\nThe accused, in the witness-box, said that bad feeling had existed between herself and her brother-in-law for some time. The matter reached a climax when he entered her house on August 17th, and assaulted the boy servant. She remonstrated with him, and they quarrelled. He took away her gold watch and chain, and she reported the matter to the police. On the following day she was arrested on the present charge of having ill-treated the mui tsai by burning her. She knew, as soon as the police visited her house, that the trouble had been caused by her brother-in-law. She did not burn the child. She did beat her on the 16th, because she was disobedient, and stole food from the kitchen. She did not tie her up.\n\nThe Magistrate: But surely, you can suggest how the burns came to be on the child?—I did not do it. Perhaps my brother-in-law and the amah know how the child got burned.\n\nDo you suggest that they deliberately burned the child in order to bring the charge against you?—Through spite, yes.\n\nThe Magistrate: Stand down, that's enough. I find the charge proved, and take a serious view of the case. Three months' hard labour.\n\nMOTOR PROSECUTIONS.\n\nThe driver of motor-car No. 379, owned by Mr. C. Montague Ede, was charged with having left the car unattended in Pedder Street, outside Jardine, Matheson's, from 3.15 to 3.33 p.m., on Monday. The defendant said that the coolie who was in charge of the car while he was having tiffin left it for a few minutes only to get some water to wash the car. A fine of $5 was imposed.\n\nMr. M. A. Hancox, of Holts wharf, was charged with reckless driving on 22nd, Bonham Road at 8.10 p.m., on August.\n\nDefendant said that he had not been warned that he would be charged for speeding, or he would have shown his speedometer to the prosecuting sergeant.\n\nInspector Garrod said that the defendant passed him on Caine Road about half a mile from where the sergeant stopped him, and he was going at fully 20 miles an hour then. He would have summoned the defendant had not the sergeant done so.\n\nDefendant said that it was dark, and it was hard to estimate speed. He might have driven at between 16 and 20 miles, but he did not think he was causing any danger to the public at that particular time. He admitted two previous convictions in connection with the same cycle. He was fined $25.\n\nA driver employed by the Russell Street Garage was charged with reckless driving in West Point at 9 p.m., on August 21st, and with having taken out motor-car No. 344, owned by Mr. E. A. M. Williams, without permission. He was fined $20 on the first charge, and $10 on the other.\n\nPage 179\n\nPEKING, August 17th.\n\nFighting in the Hunan-Hupeh border war was more severe than first reports indicated according to reports received in foreign circles to-day, and this was largely due to the sagacity of General Wang Chan-yuan (the late Tuchun) in providing his enemies with wooden bullets and other useless munitions.\n\nWhen Wang some time ago was named to put through a unification plan and to assume full control on the Upper Yangtze, he received funds for equipping the forces in his area. He presented a glowing account of his military needs, of his wishes to serve the Peking Government, and of his ability to put the programme through.\n\nWith the money the Peking Government gave him he bought the Hunan troops wooden bullets and blank cartridges. In some cases the cartridges were not even blanks in the accepted sense of the term but contained no powder.\n\nThe Hunanese knew nothing of this until they were on the fire line.\n\nThe witness added that through the influence of her brother-in-law, her amah was also prejudiced against her, and helped him to bring this false charge against her, through spite.\n\nAs a result, the total losses in their little skirmish were 5,000 men, of whom about 2,000 were killed and the others severely wounded.\n\nThe Hupeh men in the Hunan army, however, were better equipped. As a result of this, the Hupehese lost several men, and there are 2,000 Hupeh prisoners in Changsha alone.\n\nWhile Wang received no praise from the Hunanese, they are not condemning him openly because to do so means a lack of face.\n\nWIRELESS TELEGRAPH COMMUNICATION WITH CHINA.\n\nSTATEMENT BY THE BRITISH POSTMASTER-GENERAL.\n\nIn the House of Commons, on July 14th, Mr. Hurd asked the Postmaster-General whether the Chinese Government has entered into an agreement with the American General Company and the Radio Corporation for the erection of high-power stations in China which will bring Washington into direct communication with Peking; whether he is aware that by this means the 800 daily newspapers of China will be provided with a cheap and steady flow of world news through American channels; and what comparable British news services will be available in the Far East under the British Government's scheme?\n\nMr. Kellaway (in a written reply): The question of wireless telegraphy in China is at present the subject of diplomatic communications between His Majesty's Government and the Chinese and other Governments concerned. I understand that no such agreement as that referred to by the hon. member is in existence; but I would point out that the receipt in China of news sent out by wireless stations in other countries depends upon the existence in China of suitable receiving stations, and not of high-power stations capable of transmitting to other countries. If such receiving stations exist, they would be able to receive news from stations of the proposed Imperial Chain—e.g., Hongkong, Singapore, and possibly India—in the same way as from stations in other countries.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-475 - Governor Sir Stubbs & Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1922 [5-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 492978, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-476 - Acting Governor Claud Severn & Governor Sir Stubbs - 1922 [8-12]", "page_number": 331, "title": "CO129-476 - Acting Governor Claud Severn & Governor Sir Stubbs - 1922 [8-12]", "content_text": "AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY.\n\nBANKING DEPARTMENT: Current Savings and Time Deposits in Local Currency, U.S. Dollars and Pounds Sterling; Issuance of Commercial and Travelers Letters of Credit; Collection of Drafts, Bills, Notes or Deposits Sale of Money Orders, Drafts, Cable and Mail Payments; Foreign Money Bought and Sold; Liberty Bonds Cashed; American Express Company Travellers Cheques.\n\nSHIPPING DEPARTMENT: Forwarding of Import and Export Shipments, Parcels, Baggage, Bullion, and Securities; Freight and Express Consignments in large or small lots between all parts of the world; Marine Insurance; American Express Company Through Bills of Lading.\n\nTRAVEL DEPARTMENT:\n\nTHE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH.\n\nSATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1922.\n\nBANKS.\n\nSHIPPING NEWS\n\nThe following local shipping and mail intelligence has been corrected to noon to-day-\n\nVessel Pres.

The official mind appears to become atrophied, deadened, and narrow to a degree. From the writer's observations, such a condition obtains in no other Crown Colony.\n\nIt is due partly to the compactness of the Island. The same Officials work year after year in practically the same Offices, meeting each other daily - sitting cheek by jowl in the same tram, which takes nearly all Peak residents to their daily work, never getting away from each other except when on Home leave.\n\nWhat is the result? Boredom, disagreements which can never be ventilated, fed-upness, injustices which are not rectified, resentments carefully hidden yet fostered and tended by the fuel of bitterness, until finally the men come to feel nothing matters as there is no redress, and so they make the best of a bad job. There must, however, be some extraordinary effect of climate on Europeans, for the same people (with very few exceptions) do not wish to move elsewhere, even if opportunity presents itself.\n\nFortunately for the Colony, there have been several new Head Appointments filled by men from other Colonies, and that is all to the good, for they have brought new ideas and bracing principles; but the general public does feel very strongly that the state of the Officials, more particularly the Cadet Service, does require very serious looking into.\n\nIs it not a mistaken policy in an Island of such unusual geographical conditions to leave officials too long...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-491 - Public Offices - 1925.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 502353, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-492 - Governor Sir Clementi - 1925 [12] - 1926 [1-5]", "page_number": 44, "title": "CO129-492 - Governor Sir Clementi - 1925 [12] - 1926 [1-5]", "content_text": "HONG KONG\n\n41\n\nC. 3395\n\nFROM\n\nColier 3pm\n\nFOR CIRCULATION!\n\nMr. Malon\n\nMr.\n\nAND\n\nAsst.

The problem is no- thing less than the invention of a new medium of education for several hundred million human beings, and its importance for the future of mankind cannot be exaggerated.\n\n8\n\nWorld-wide- lieve, do more to promote peace and goodwill among nations than can be effected by treaties or conventions. action on these lines would, I firmly be- ever races and philology: but as a man of the world and a persistent traveller over the earth's highways and byways, I would add that I greatly cherish the hope that some day a League of Nations will agree to teach all children of whatever race and people from youth upwards one and the same second language in addition to their native language and that this language, common to all people on earth, should be the English language.\n\nI wish to guard myself carefully against any suggestion that the remarks which I have made are intended as a disparagement of the Chinese language and literature. Nothing is further from my thoughts. I have devoted many years of my life to a study of Chinese and my study has left me with a profound admiration of Chinese literature and especially of Chinese poetry. But the Chinese language has in a very real sense \"the defect of its qualities.\" Its best quality is the concise, lucid and picturesque manner in which it portrays Chinese life and thought. Its corresponding defect is that, possibly because it forms so excellent a medium for the study of things Chinese, it is a very refractory medium for the interpretation of Western ideas. It forms indeed a sort of Forbidden City into which anything that is not Chinese can enter only in disguise, if at all. The problem for solution is how best the gates of this Forbidden City may be thrown open.\n\nNEED OF A SECOND LANGUAGE.\n\nNEW USES FOR THE UNIVERSITY.\n\nSuch a hope will not be fulfilled in our lifetime: but may I in conclusion take up a more lowly standpoint and suggest that the austere manner in which the Chinese language frowns at everything which is not Chinese perhaps accounts for the fact that so many Europeans live for years in Hongkong and in the Chinese treaty ports without making any effort to speak or to read the Chinese language? Accordingly the peculiar compradore system has come into being and we have a whole host of intermediaries between the Westerners and the Chinese. Only Government officials and missionaries, as a rule, can deal directly with the Chinese who surround them, and hence arise many regrettable misunderstandings. In this matter there seems to be room for give and take. The Chinese admittedly desire to acquire Western learning. They should, therefore, endeavour to make their language a more flexible medium for conveying Western thought. The Europeans wish to trade with the Chinese. They should, therefore, make a sincere effort to acquaint themselves with the Chinese language. If Government officials and missionaries can do so, why cannot the merchants follow suit? It would pay them handsomely and they would soon find that there is not only profit, but also pleasure, in forming friendships with Chinese gentlemen of the old school, who may perhaps not have been westernized as is the case with many of the younger generation, but who in intelligence, uprightness and good manners have nothing to learn from the West.\n\nHere again I think that the Hongkong University has before it a wide sphere of usefulness: and I propose as soon as possible to enquire how far the Faculty of Arts can assist the Hongkong Government in the higher education of our cadets in the Chinese language and generally in things Chinese and also to ascertain what arrangements can be made to afford similar facilities in the University for young English business-men, who look forward to making a career in China: because, important though it is for this University to interpret Western thoughts and aspirations to China, it is no less important that it should adequately interpret Chinese thoughts and aspirations to the West. (Applause.)\n\nI must also guard myself against the misconception that I have any desire to see a reformed Chinese language substituted for English as the medium of instruction in this University. Such an idea is so far from my mind that I would rather give it as my settled opinion that no Chinese can make a really scientific study even of his own language without first acquiring a competent knowledge of some inflexional language and that he will find no language more useful than English for such a purpose. When we look through the eye-piece of a telescope, we see the object in the field of vision, but the telescope itself disappears from view. Similarly when we use our mother tongue as an instrument for the expression of thought, we lose sight of its grammatical, syntactical and etymological peculiarities; and these peculiarities are best brought home to us when we place our native language side by side with another language, or preferably with several other languages, and study them in comparison as it were from outside. I say this as one who has taken a lifelong interest in philology.\n\nDEGREE OF BACHELOR OF SCIENCE (ENGINEERING).-Messrs. S. B.

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.

A lecture room in the University has been set aside as a Chinese Library and Reading Room. Members of the public who are interested are cordially invited to come and see this room and to inspect the library.\n\nThese developments have been rendered possible by the generosity of Mr. Chang Wing and Mr. Liew Weng Chee, both of Kuala Lumpur, and the Executors of the Estate of the late Mr. Tye Kee Yoon of Penang. Students are now taking these advanced courses, and special instruction in translation from Chinese into English and from English into Chinese now forms a regular part of the Chinese course.\n\nA University Chinese Language School has also been started. The two Colonial cadets who have lately been appointed to Hong Kong by His Majesty's Secretary of State for the Colonies, and some others, are already starting to learn Cantonese in this school. The School is under the general direction of Mr. H. R. Wells; and Mr. Sung Hok Pang, senior Chinese master of Queen's College, Hong Kong, has been seconded by Government to work as a whole-time teacher in this school. The University authorities are now negotiating with the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce, with a view to arranging instruction at such hours as will be convenient for those who are working in offices but wish to acquire some facility in Cantonese.\n\nThe generally accepted method of learning Chinese is for each student to have a private personal teacher. This arrangement will continue, but there will also be class instruction; teachers will be selected and trained and their work will be supervised and directed. It is hoped that a real introduction to the study of the Chinese language will be given and that students will learn, in the early years of their study, the value of ancient Chinese literature, while at the same time they get an insight into modern literary style and methods.\n\nThe Language School aims not merely at giving instruction in Chinese and training teachers, but also at investigating the best method of teaching Chinese to those to whom it is not a mother tongue; and at the production of suitable text books. In this work, it is hoped that the School will have the assistance of all the members of the Chinese Department staff. If the Language School proves a success, it should be a boon to all those Britishers who come to Hong Kong with the intention of making China the scene of their life's work.\n\nBut the University has a much more far-reaching scheme for the advance of Chinese studies. It aims at creating a strong Chinese Department or School which may in time develop into a Chinese Faculty. This School will teach the Chinese Classics but it will also aspire to a comparative study of Chinese and western law, history, philosophy, literature, and art. The University has already a scheme for the comparative study of Chinese and Roman Law, but the University cannot proceed with this scheme for want of funds. Finally, the University has in view a Chinese language department of the Chinese School which, in addition to teaching Chinese to those to whom Chinese is not a mother tongue, may assist in the evolution of the Chinese language, especially as a medium of intercourse which shall be intelligible to all educated Chinese.\n\nAll these schemes aim at giving the Chinese an opportunity for an intensive and comparative study of their own history and culture. The days are past when any great country can live isolated from the rest of the world. The University dreams of training men and women who will be qualified to play a great part in the China of the future—scholars, capable of interpreting the West to China and China to the West.\n\nThere remains the necessity of money. To establish and endow a Chinese School, the University will require about $1,500,000 (Hong Kong). The University also wants a building in which to house the Chinese School and it is thought that the \n\n## \n\n106", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-501-2 Chinese situation- Boxer indemnity 5-2-1927 - 14-12-1927.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 508451, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-501-8 General policy in China 30-11-1926 - 30-11-1926", "page_number": 45, "title": "CO129-501-8 General policy in China 30-11-1926 - 30-11-1926", "content_text": "- 7 - \n\n49 \n\n(1) that the Customs Office be no longer permitted to collect duties in the Colony or its waters:\n\n(2) that all opium arriving in the Colony be accounted for either through the agency of bonded warehouses or otherwise:\n\n(3) that the Government do all in their power to protect the Chinese revenue, more especially with regard to the Opium Farmer:\n\n(4) that the revenue stations and revenue cruisers be moved beyond the limits of British territory and British waters.\n\n10.\n\nMeanwhile Sir R. Hart, in a letter to Sir C.M. Macdonald, His Majesty's Minister at Peking, dated the 27th June, 1898, recommended that in view of the leasing to Great Britain of the New Territories, \"the right of the Chinese Customs to maintain its office in Hong Kong, where it is now only unofficially acknowledged, ought to be formally admitted and the status of the Commissioner of Customs as a Chinese official recognized. The existing substations at Changchow, Capsuimo, Lai-chee-kok, and Fotochow ought to be maintained as at present, although they are in the leased territory. If it should be found that other stations are required, they may be instituted\". Upon these recommendations, Major-General W. Black, then Officer Administering the Government, wrote in despatch No. 221 of 1898 (Eadem Pun't no. 66) on the 29th July, 1898, to Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, strongly urging that \"the Chinese Customs be not formally accorded the right to maintain its office in Hong Kong, and that the Commissioner of Customs be not recognized as a Chinese official, but that he remain as at present without official status.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-501-8 General policy in China 30-11-1926 - 30-11-1926.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 508452, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-501-8 General policy in China 30-11-1926 - 30-11-1926", "page_number": 46, "title": "CO129-501-8 General policy in China 30-11-1926 - 30-11-1926", "content_text": "## 8.\n\n- \n50\n\nstatus of any kind\": and further that the existing sub-stations Changchow, Capsuimoon, Lai-chee-kok, and Fotochow should be removed to points outside the leased territory, as their retention would be a fruitful source of friction and would always be misconstrued by the Chinese mind. There were, as Major-General Black pointed out, many points both on the coast and on adjacent islands where the Chinese Customs could establish new stations.\n\n## 11.\n\nI can find no reply from the Colonial Office nor any communication from the British Legation on this subject: but, as a matter of history, the view of Major-General Black prevailed. The sub-stations of the Chinese Maritime Customs have been removed to Chinese territory at Sham-chun, Sha-tau-kok, and along the coast of Mirs Bay, while the officer of the Foreign Inspectorate, still called \"Commissioner of Customs for Kowloon and District\", remains to this day in Hong Kong island, only \"unofficially acknowledged\" in Sir R. Hart's phrase, with a residence at the Peak and an office in Victoria City. Moreover, the questions raised by Mr. Fleming in 1890 as to the exact position of the Kowloon Commissioner, his powers, whom he really represents, and to whom he is responsible have never been answered.\n\n## 12.\n\nThe only further event to record in this connection is that, upon the opening of the Kowloon-Canton Railway in October, 1911, it was arranged for the convenience of through traffic that Chinese import duties should be collected by the Kowloon Commissioner at the railway terminus at Kowloon Point in British territory.\n\n## 13.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-501-8 General policy in China 30-11-1926 - 30-11-1926.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 508458, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-501-8 General policy in China 30-11-1926 - 30-11-1926", "page_number": 52, "title": "CO129-501-8 General policy in China 30-11-1926 - 30-11-1926", "content_text": "## Chinese Characters for Names in the secret despatch of the 12th August, 1927.\n\n**(奥海関部)** \nYueh Hai-kuan Pu \n**(廣東)** \nKuang-tung \nKup-sui-mun \n**(吸水門)** \nLyerun \n**(鯉魚門)** \nLi Hung-chang \n**(李鴻章)** \nChangchow \n**(& H|)** was likely meant to be **(漳州)**\nLai-chee-kok \n**(荔枝角)** \nFotochow \n**(斧頭州)** \nSham-chun \n**(深圳)** \nSha-tau-kok \n**(沙頭角)** \n\n56", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-501-8 General policy in China 30-11-1926 - 30-11-1926.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 512225, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-506-7 Medical and sanitary reports- 1926 2-11-1927 - 28-2-1928", "page_number": 46, "title": "CO129-506-7 Medical and sanitary reports- 1926 2-11-1927 - 28-2-1928", "content_text": "60\n\n48\n\nThirty-seven vessels were fumigated for various reasons during the year.

Emigrants can be vaccinated at the Government Centre cheaply and efficiently, and 25,728 presented themselves for this purpose during 1926, as compared with 7,724 in 1925 and 1,877 in 1924.

In reply, I have to request you to be good enough to remind Mr. Chu Chae-hsin (Chu Chao-hsin) that the arrangement made at the Conference in Canton on the 10th March was that I was prepared to consider nomination by the Canton Government of a Commercial Agent to take charge of the Chinese Telegraph Office in Hong Kong, on the condition (among other conditions) that the nominee should be in fact a merchant and not an official. The English title for the Superintendent which I suggested at the Conference - \"Commercial Agent in charge of the Chinese Telegraph Office in Hong Kong\" embodied this essential provision, and it has consistently been made clear in all later correspondence that I am not prepared to carry the concession any further.\n\n3. The translation of the title as suggested by the Canton Government effects a radical alteration of its meaning and so far from giving the office a neutral and commercial character and removing it from the arena of party control, which was the object I had in view, it actually accentuates the undesirable features of the existing system.\n\nI, therefore, find it impossible to accept the suggested translation: and in view of the attitude of the Canton...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-507-9 Chinese Telegraph Office- Hong Kong- transfer to Cantonese control 4-1-1928 - 20-7-1928.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 513612, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-508-4 Cases of attacks by pirates 6-11-1927 - 23-11-1928", "page_number": 132, "title": "CO129-508-4 Cases of attacks by pirates 6-11-1927 - 23-11-1928", "content_text": "Ir.

Hart in a letter to Sir C.M Macdonald, His Majesty's Minister at Peking, dated the 27th June, 1898, recommended that in view of the leasing to Great Britain of the New Territories, \"the right of the Chinese Customs to maintain its office in Hong Kong where it is now only unofficially acknowledged ought to be formally admitted and the status of the Commissioner of Customs as a Chinese official recognized. The existing substations at Changchow, Capsuimoon, Lai-chee-kok and Fotochow ought to be maintained as at present, although they are in the leased territory. If it should be found that other stations are required they may be instituted\". Upon those recommendations Major-General T. Black, then Officer Administering the Government, wrote in despatch No.221 of the 29th July, 1898, to Mr Joseph Chamberlain strongly urging that \"the Chinese Customs be not formally accorded the right to maintain its office in Hong Kong and that the Commissioner of Customs be not recognized as a Chinese Official, but that he remain as at present without official status of any kind\": and further that the existing sub-stations -Chanchow, Capsuimoon, Lai-chee-kok and Fotochow - should be removed to points outside the leased territory, as their retention would be a fruitful source of friction and would always be misconstrued by the Chinese mind.

Early in 1929 I made certain representations to the Government on the subject and suggested the propriety of restoring the management of this important office to the Maritime Customs, in the general interest of China's credit at home and abroad, and we resumed charge of the establishment on the 16th June 1929 (vide Enclosure).\n\nIt is fitting for me to place on record here recent developments in respect of certain extra Native Customs Houses which have enhanced the prestige and strengthened the position of the Maritime Customs Service. Last August His Excellency the Minister of Finance instructed me to second officers from the Maritime Customs to take charge, on his behalf, of two important Native Customs offices - viz., Fengyang Kuan (formerly in Penghu, Anhwei), Kiangiwa, and Yangyu Kuan, the latter in Yangchow. I accordingly detached Mr. Ho Chee Fai, Acting Commissioner (Deputy Commissioner), and Mr. Oong Zur Tsung, Acting Commissioner (Deputy Commissioner), for this responsible work, who were appointed by the Ministry of Finance as Superintendents of Customs in charge of Fengyang Kuan and Yangyu Kuan respectively.\n\nIn addition to these gentlemen, certain subordinate Maritime Customs employees were also detached.\n\nPage 60\n\nPage 61", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-521-13 Chinese Customs- proposed agreement with Hong Kong 27-8-1930 - 16-10-1930.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 521942, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-521-13 Chinese Customs- proposed agreement with Hong Kong 27-8-1930 - 16-10-1930", "page_number": 103, "title": "CO129-521-13 Chinese Customs- proposed agreement with Hong Kong 27-8-1930 - 16-10-1930", "content_text": "15.\n\n10%\n\nChamber passed the following resolutions:-\n\n13.\n\n(1) that the Customs office be no longer permitted to collect duties in the Colony or its waters:\n\n(2) that all opium arriving in the Colony be accounted for either through the agency of bonded warehouses or otherwise:\n\n(3) that the Government do all in their power to protect the Chinese revenue, more especially with regard to the Opium Farmer:\n\n(4) that the revenue stations and revenue cruisers be moved beyond the limits of British territory and British waters.\n\nMeanwhile Sir R.

Black, then Officer Administering the Government, wrote in despatch No. 221 of the 29th July, 1898, to Mr. Joseph Chamberlain strongly urging that \"the Chinese Customs be not formally accorded the right to maintain its office in Hong Kong and that the Commissioner of Customs be not recognized as a Chinese official, but that he remain as at present without official status of any kind\": and further that the existing sub-stations - Changchow, Capsuimoon, Lai-chee-kok and Fotochow should be removed to points outside the leased territory, as their retention would be a fruitful source of friction and would always be misconstrued by the Chinese mind.\n\nThere were, as Major-General Black pointed out, many points both on the coast and on the adjacent islands where the Chinese Customs could establish new stations.\n\n14. I can find no reply from the Colonial Office nor any communication from the British Legation on this subject: but, as a matter of history, the view of Major-General Black prevailed.\n\nThe sub-stations of the Chinese Maritime Customs have been removed to Chinese territory at Sham-chun, Sha-tau-kok and along the", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-521-13 Chinese Customs- proposed agreement with Hong Kong 27-8-1930 - 16-10-1930.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 521992, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-521-13 Chinese Customs- proposed agreement with Hong Kong 27-8-1930 - 16-10-1930", "page_number": 153, "title": "CO129-521-13 Chinese Customs- proposed agreement with Hong Kong 27-8-1930 - 16-10-1930", "content_text": "152\n\n65\n\nHong Kong and its new territory to safeguard the revenue interests of China, a task which will be made in consequence of the increased area to be looked after, both onerous and expensive.\n\nThe proposals are made in the belief that Her Majesty's Government desire to give China liberal and sustained support in the protection of her revenue in that neighbourhood.\n\n1.

In both respects anything which may be possible—and without a custom-house I do not see that much will be possible—is sure to redound to the commercial advantage of the Colony as well as of the Chinese trade.

In particular, Dr. Li Tsoo Yiu was accorded a deafening reception. His Excellency the Governor shook hands with each of the successful graduates as he was presented.\n\nH.E. THE GOVERNOR'S SPEECH.\n\nAfter the scholarship winners had been presented His Excellency addressed Congregation as follows:-\n\nStanding before you to-day, as your Chancellor, I cannot but ask myself what is the special contribution which this University should make to Hong Kong, to China, to the world?—and I beg you to bear with me while I endeavour in the fewest possible words to answer these 'obstinate questionings.'\n\nAt the outset let me remind you that the Colony of Hong Kong is the principal meeting-ground of the British and Chinese civilizations. Here, therefore, better than anywhere else on the face of the earth, the Chinese may learn those lessons which Great Britain can teach them! and Britishers may study things Chinese.\n\nNow, if two foreign peoples are to understand one another, they must begin by learning each other's languages, reading each other's literature and history, and familiarizing themselves with each other's manners and customs. So I venture to suggest that the most important contribution which the Hong Kong University can make to this Colony is to afford Britishers the opportunity of associating with Chinese students and learning their language, their modes of thought and habits of life, while at the same time offering Chinese students every facility for acquainting themselves thoroughly with all things British.\n\nA Bond Of Union.\n\nThis University should be par excellence the bond of union between the two races by whose co-operation Hong Kong has been converted within less than a century from a barren island into one of the greatest shipping ports of the world.\n\nHere should be the centre not only of the highest intellectual life, but of the best social life of the Colony. Thus will whatever is most valuable in the two civilizations - British and Chinese - be fused, fashioned and adapted by your efforts for the special needs of Hong Kong.\n\nThe chief contribution of this University to China should, I think, be the interpretation of British ideals, civic, ethical and educational, to the Chinese people and the promotion of Anglo-Chinese friendship. It is indeed expressly laid down in the Hong Kong Ordinance, by which this University was incorporated, that one of its objects was to be the maintenance of the good understanding with the neighbouring country of China.'

Oct. 25. \n\nA Catholic Father who escaped from Loshan, in South Honan, ten minutes before the entry of bandits, reports that the Rev. K. N. Tvedt, and Miss Evenson, of the Lutheran United Mission, failed to escape and, it is presumed, were captured.—Reuter. \n\n### In Bandits' Hands. \n\nPeking. Oct. 25. The U.S. Consul in Hankow received a letter on October 24 from Luahan, signed by Father Tvedt and Miss Evenson, dated October 8, stating that they were in the hands of brigands belonging to the First Red Army, who were holding them \"because of financial difficulties.\" The Reds demanded $100,000 ransom. \n\nThe Rev. Tvedt says that he is a Norwegian subject, though in an American organisation. \n\nIt is understood that two American Catholics are registered as being at Loshan—Thomas M. Megan and Joseph V. Henkels. No definite news of them has been received, but it is known that Megan was here on October 15. \n\nOne Catholic priest climbed over the city wall just as the bandits were entering the town. He is believed to be one of these two.—Reuter. \n\n### Lady Captive Released. \n\nHankow, Oct. 26. The American Consulate has received a telegram stating that Miss Evenson has been released and has arrived at Sinjang. The Rev. Mr. Tvedt is still held captive.—Reuter. \n\n### Missionary Freed. \n\nPeking, Oct. 25. The Italian Legation announces that it has received information that Father Brugnetti, Italian Catholic Mission at Nanyangfu, in south-west Honan, has been liberated. \n\nFather Brugnetti was captured by brigands some time ago.

It is believed at Taiyuanfu that he intends to collect armies and march to Sianfu. \n\nIt is also believed that Feng Yu-hsiang, Yen Hsi-shan and Wang Ching-wei are still working together and have decided to attempt to hold Shansi, Shensi, and Kansu against all comers. \n\nWang Ching-wei is at present living at a hotel in Taiyuanfu, and contemplates setting up his home there. \n\nThe discipline among the returned Shansi soldiers is bad.

The soldiers are protesting against living in barracks outside the city, and desire billets in houses in the city.—Reuter \n\n### Marshals to Meet. \n\nNanking, Oct. 25.

Riotous scenes were witnessed late last night in Kameido, a suburb of Tokyo, during a clash between the police and factory workers of the Toyo Muslin Co., who have been on strike for the past five weeks. \n\nWhile the Police were attempting to suppress groups of strikers who were parading the streets, singing Labour songs, other strikers in the upper storeys of neighbouring buildings started throwing stones on the Police below. \n\nThe ensuing fight necessitated the temporary suspension of traffic, as the strikers started stoning passing trams, six of which were damaged. \n\nThe disturbance was finally quelled after the arrest of 150 strikers. About a dozen Police and 30 strikers were injured in the melee.—Reuter. \n\n## \"REDS\" RAID TOWN IN HAINAN. \n\n### Driven Off by Garrison With Heavy Loss.

SIX MEN WOUNDED. \n\nManila, Oct. 25. \n\nThe Chinese Communists last night attacked, mobbed, and stabbed prominent members of the Chinese Nationalist organisation in Manila. \n\nSix were wounded and taken to hospital. Two of them were in critical condition. \n\nThe victims include Mr. Gan Bu-hong, the proprietor of the largest Chinese cigarette factory here as well as a school principal. \n\nBoth Mr. Ong Chuan-seng, leaders of the Kuomintang. \n\nThe first outbreak was believed to be a tong war, but later the victims asserted that the motives for the attack were purely political, having followed repeated threats. \n\nPolice patrols are heavy and the constabulary may assist in quelling the trouble since Chinatown is in an uproar.—Reuter. \n\n## CORRESPONDENCE. \n\n### The Boxer Indemnity. \n\n(To the Editor, S. C. M. Post.) \n\nSir, The suggestion as put forward in your leader dated the 11th inst. referring to the employment of the entire or part of the grant to the Hongkong University from the Boxer Indemnity Fund for health purposes is certainly a rational and timely proposal. \n\nIt will be recalled that the Willingdon Delegation, following the investigation of conditions in China, recommended the allocation of 17% of the Fund for \"education in medicine and public health and grants to hospitals.\" Viewed from various angles, and laying aside, pro tem, the question of the University's merit to secure such a windfall, your suggestion, if carried out, would perhaps \"satisfy all demands.\" \n\nAlthough details are not published pending the Chinese and British approval of the Governments' agreement which Dr. C. T. Wang and Sir Miles Lampson have recently concluded for the satisfactory disposal of the Fund, yet it may safely be conjectured that the plan suggested by the Willingdon Delegation will not be closely followed as it is an open secret that the bulk of the money has already been definitely decided upon railway development enterprise. In other words, the hope of the allocation of the 17% of the Fund for health purposes is extremely remote. \n\nLocated in a part of the world where health conditions are deplorable, surely there is no better way for the University of using the grant than to employ it for scientific researches and the improvement of public health. For instance, at one of the Sanitary Board meetings a few months ago, the Director of Medical and Sanitary Services was in favour of the Government making arrangements with the authorities of Sheklung Leper Settlement to take charge of lepers from Hongkong as a result of the total absence of a leper hospital in the Colony. As pointed out in my previous letter, the carrying out of the scheme would mean the increase of the already teeming leper population of the greater part of the island, and only a few garrison troops are stationed in the west half of Hainan. So in the eastern part of the island no open outbreak of Communism is taking place, although guerilla warfare is carried on, as evidenced by the wounded men being brought to Hoihow hospitals, day by day. West of Hoihow troops are stationed in Kin Kong, Fuk-san and Lami-kow but in numbers they are not nearly as strong as the Communist gang which rules the forest near Fuk-San. On Oct. 18 this band of Reds attacked Kin Kong, which is district city and the largest town in Chen-mai district. By surprise attack they gained the east suburbs of the town but the troops got some machine guns into position and it is reported that the Reds were driven off with heavy loss. The Reds were said to number all the way from 600 to 1,000 but they had only two machine guns to defend by 300 troops. \n\nSomething has, therefore, to be done to solve this and similar problems satisfactorily for the \"mutual benefit\" of both China and the British Colony. In view of the existing needs, the employment of the money for purposes as suggested by you is, and as many will doubtless agree, a legitimate proposal. \n\nJ. A. LEE. \n\n## DELIBERATE LIES IN COURT. \n\n### Witness Fined for Perjury in Assault Case. DEFENDANT DISCHARGED. \n\nThe acquittal of the accused and the fining of one of the witnesses of the prosecution for perjury was the final result of the case in which Herbert Percival, stoker of H.M.S. Herald, was alleged before Mr. Lindsell on Saturday to have assaulted a barber of Wanchai. \n\nThe defendant was alleged to have obtained a packet of cigarettes from the complainant's stall and when asked for payment struck the seller. \n\nFurther evidence was given by Chan Fook, a barber in the complainant's employ. After corroborative evidence was given, the witness was questioned by the Magistrate as to a cut on the defendant's cheek. \n\nHis Worship: Defendant's cheek was cut open; can you explain that? \n\nWitness: I don't know. \n\nYou offer no explanation for that at all? Was there any trouble with anyone of the naval men except the one you saw take the cigarettes?—No. \n\nYou do not explain how his cheek was cut open? I don't know. \n\nAny one strike him?—I did not see any one strike him. \n\nWas he knocked down?—Possibly; he may have been. Did you see him knocked down? No. \n\nYou must have seen it, you were there. He may have fallen on the ground. \n\nHis Worship pointed out to the witness that it had been proved beyond doubt that the defendant had had his cheek cut. The witness replied, \"I saw defendant knock against a glass show case as he struck the complainant.\" \n\nHis Worship reprimanded the witness and pointed out to him that a few minutes before he had told the Court that he had no idea what had happened to the defendant's cheek. \"Why do you lie like that?\" sternly asked his Worship. \"A minute ago you said you didn't know; you did not see it. Now speak the truth! Did you see him cut his cheek or not?\" \n\nWitness: I did not see him.\" \n\nHis Worship: First you said you did not, then you said you did and now you say you did not again. Which is true?—I did not see. \n\nNow that was just an absolute lie that the showcase was broken? \n\nIt was broken. \n\nDetective Sergeant Clark informed his Worship that a show case had been broken, but if the defendant had fallen into it as alleged by the witness he would have had his face severely cut. \n\nHis Worship: How do you say that showcase came to be broken? \n\nWitness: A piece of the stool flew against the glass. \n\nHe (defendant) did not fall against it as you said a minute ago? No. \n\nThen you told a deliberate lie just now when you said he banged against it. You told three different stories. I fine you $10; first one thing and then another. You keep contradicting yourself. Fined $10 or seven days. \n\n### Defendant Discharged. \n\nThe Gazette contains the draft of an Ordinance to amend the Police Ordinance 1900. \n\nThis provides that Section 17 of the Police Ordinance, 1900, be repealed and the following section substituted therefor: \n\n17-(1) It shall be lawful for the Governor in Council to make regulations for the granting of pensions to members of the Force, in respect of service in the Force, and to determine in special cases where the regulations may be inapplicable or to require modification, the amount (if any) of the pension, the terms on which it shall be granted and the manner in which it shall be paid. (2) Pensions granted under this Ordinance shall be paid out of the general revenue. \n\nThe Objects and Reasons state:-Under section 17 of the Police Force Ordinance, 1900, the Governor in Council not only regulates the general conditions on which and the manner in which pensions are to be granted to members of the Force, but determines the question of granting a pension and the amount thereof in each particular case. There does not seem to be any sufficient reason why members of the Police Force should be thus singled out from other pensionable public servants, or why the Governor in Council should have to deal with each case of retirement especially where the pension is a mere matter of calculation. \n\n## HIS LAST FLING. \n\n### Suicide's Open Letter to the World. \n\nShanghai, Oct. 25. Chow Hu-wen (27), a dentist, after spending five nights entertaining sing-song girls at the Shang Shien Hotel, addressed a lengthy letter to the world in general, advising young men not to degrade themselves by following his example, and then swallowed poison. He was found dead yesterday afternoon and the inquest revealed that he rented a room on the third floor of the hotel on Friday night and then spent until Sunday night and then spent until Friday morning surrounded by sing-song girls and wine bottles.—Our Own Correspondent. \n\nKobe, Oct. 26.

Reserve\n\nre\n\n## Step 1\nThe task requires proofreading OCR output of historical records related to Hong Kong, transforming the text into standard Markdown, correcting spelling errors, fixing spacing issues, rejoining broken sentences, restoring paragraph breaks, indicating missing words, and following specific formatting rules.\n\n## Step 2\nThe given text appears to be a mix of articles, news, and advertisements from a newspaper, likely the South China Morning Post, dated October 23, 1931. The text includes various topics such as legislative council meetings, budget debates, international news, and advertisements.\n\n## Step 3\nTo begin proofreading, we first need to identify and correct obvious OCR errors, such as misrecognized characters, incorrect spacing, and broken words.\n\n## Step 4\nUpon examining the text, numerous OCR errors are evident, including misspellings like \"zivil Hrvata\" which should be corrected to \"civil servants,\" \"éézust ruta\" to \"certain route,\" and \"kačzoaning\" to a more plausible word, possibly \"causing.\"\n\n## Step 5\nThe text also contains formatting issues, such as incorrect paragraph breaks and missing or extra spaces. For example, \"Page 13. „Duging yesterday'ı, Kadynt debati\" should be formatted as a header or title indicating a page break and the start of a new section or article.\n\n## Step 6\nSome sentences are broken across lines or columns without logical reason, and these need to be rejoined. For instance, sentences discussing the budget debate and legislative council decisions are fragmented and require reassembly.\n\n## Step 7\nThe text includes advertisements and news articles that need to be formatted correctly. Advertisements like \"Start-Rite Shoes\" and \"PEBECO TOOTH-PASTE\" should be identified and formatted as such.\n\n## Step 8\nFile references and page numbering need to be formatted according to the rules. For example, \"XCR (85)72\" should be \"XCR(85)72,\" and \"Page XX\" lines should be preserved as they are, indicating page breaks.\n\n## Step 9\nGiven the complexity and the volume of the text, a detailed, line-by-line correction is necessary to ensure accuracy and adherence to the specified formatting rules.\n\n## Step 10\nThe final output should be in HTML format using for paragraphs and \n only when necessary, without including markdown or code fences.\n\nThe final answer is: \n\nPage 13. „During yesterday's, Kadynt debate\n\nCod dem not the proposal, 14 ver the pay of sterling-peld civil servants at certain ruta af sochasDa asi anked fer KE KEPONIE PODKL Awan takım oy an Ammand-maxi, which was Zen, and the Brages ww carried\n\nPage 14\n\nUnofficial members of the Legislative Council\n\nFor the purpose of balancing the budget\n\nBetween the District Officer, Coast and the inhabitants' bone where he met tarday approved, caution fr North of people—savants, buningan | varying tobaccoena duchas, causing the a patamal degree where exte They reduction affects part of | magsales, lawyers, artista, bazzara | duties on light via and imponing a irritation would have been par- the Army and leave saulker per- and above all the economy of the duty on non-intrecasting latach, donable.

The course, which is held two afternoons a week, is attended by students who are acting as anæsthetic clerks.

J. FINN.\n\n4\n\nK\n\nProfessor Seligman of London University in describing the physical characteristics of the \"Mongol races writes,* \"eye brown, generally dark- the cheek-bones are broad and so prominent that, taken with the characteristic absence of depression between nasal root and the forehead and the slight development of the brow-ridges, the whole face tends to have a peculiar flatness, which is as characteristic and much more general than the very distinctive 'Mongolian' eye. Where the 'Mongolian' quality is well developed, the inner part of the upper eyelid is continued over the inner angle of the eye (inner canthus), the skin fold so produced extending to and fusing with the skin at the side of the nose: it is this, with the narrow aperture between the upper and lower lids, so common in Mongols, that gives the proverbial narrow oblique appearance to the Mongol eye, the orbits themselves and their position in the skull not differing significantly from those of other races.” From other passages in the same article we learn that the Tungus (a wide-spread people in Siberia and from Manchuria to Turkestan) have dark-brown eyes, usually typically 'Mongolian' (p. 456); of the two distinct types among the Japanese, one is coarse, short, thick set and has a narrow and oblique eye and typically a well-developed epicanthus (p. 456) : and while among the Northern Chinese the eye is not always 'Mongolian' (p. 458) the Oceanic Mongols (of Indonesia, Formosa, Nicobar Isles, Madagascar) have black eyes often with Mongol fold (p. 444). Such is the 'Mongolian' eye.\n\n=\n\nEGYPTIAN PICTOGRAM\n\nWRITING\n\nOF LEFT EYE.\n\nEUROPEAN (MEDITERRANEAN)\n\nLEFT EYE\n\nOLD (circa 1200 B.C) CHINESE WRITING (ANYANG EXCAVATION)\n\nPICTOGRAM OF LEFT EYE\n\nCHINESE (SUN-TAK, KWANGTUNG)\n\nLEFT EYE\n\nFigure 1.\n\nIllustrating this article will be found a sketch made from the eye of a young Chinese from Sun Tak, a district of the Pearl River Delta between Hong Kong and Canton, It shows a 'Mongolian' eye with a very distinct over-fold at the inner canthus, the clear overlap went over 1 mm. below the line of the under eyelid.

Certain Chinese friends had subscribed to have Sir Cecil's portrait painted and it was his wish that the picture should hang in the Great Hall of the University. On the same day as that on which he opened the biological laboratory, Sir William Peel unveiled the portrait which now hangs in the Great Hall. Other portraits hang in the Great Hall, for every subscriber of $50,000 is entitled to have a portrait or bust of himself set up there, but they are all coloured photographs.\n\nIn 1926 the University's senior lecturer in Chinese (a Hanlin) and the Vice-Chancellor visited Malaya. Thanks to the generosity of Mr. Chan Wing and Mr. Lai Weng Chee of Kuala Lumpur and of the Executors of the Estate of Mr. Tye Kee Yoon of Penang a sum of H.K. $40,000 was collected. Further contributions were received from Mr. Ng Wah and Mr. Kwok Chung Yeung of this Colony. It was decided to do something at once to improve the teaching of Chinese. These collections were therefore not invested, but spent on buying Chinese books and on providing for the teaching in the Arts Faculty of Chinese Language and Literature up to the degree stage.\n\nDuring 1928 a sum of $170,000 was collected mainly through the efforts of the Hon. Sir Shou-son Chow and the Hon. Mr. R. H. Kotewall for a Chinese School. This sum was subsequently increased to $200,000. During the same year, Mr. Tang Chi Ngong contributed $60,000 towards a building for the Chinese School. On the 28th September, 1931, His Excellency the Governor opened the Tang Chi Ngong School of Chinese.\n\nEarly in 1929 the University received a donation of $120,000 from Mr. Fung Ping Shan for a Chinese Library. The original gift was $100,000 for the building and $20,000 for the Library's endowment, but Mr. Fung subsequently increased the endowment to $50,000. At the same time he made himself responsible for the equipment and furnishing of the library. Mr. Fung died on the 31st August, 1931, but his widow accepted the full obligation. The library, which was opened by His Excellency the Governor on the 14th December, 1932, is to be open to the public. The University has already transferred to this building its Chinese library of some 31,000 volumes.\n\nWhen the University started, the Church Missionary Society placed St. John's Hall at its disposal. Lugard Hall was opened in 1913, Eliot Hall in 1914, and May Hall in 1915; these three hostels are maintained by the University and controlled by resident wardens who are members of the University staff. In 1913 the London Missionary Society opened Morrison Hall. On the 16th December, 1929, Ricci Hall was opened by the Governor. This hostel was provided by, and is under the management of, the Jesuit Fathers of the English Assistancy. When in September 1921 the University first opened its classes to women, some accommodation for these students was provided at St. Stephen's Girls' College and at the Italian Convent. A small hostel in rented premises for women students was subsequently provided and is still maintained by the Church Missionary Society.\n\nSir William Peel became Governor of Hong Kong and the University's Chancellor at a time when the University was passing through a grave financial crisis.\n\nSIR WILLIAM PEEL, K.C.M.G., K.B.E.

J. FINN\n\nwhich is composed very much as the modern nose character of a phonetic and a pictogram, but here the parts are reversed, the phonetic is on top and the picture below; CH'IH is made up of J CHIH (itself a picture of a foot to which we shall come back) and a picture of the teeth in the mouth. This latter part is the whole symbol in the bone characters and appears as follows:-See Figure 3.*\n\nThe modern form is obvious as the result of adding the phonetic which indeed already appears in the modern combination on the Chou dynasty bronze vessels.**\n\nL\n\nThis figure evidently bears out the passages quoted by M. Maspero. As to the ears, the modern character is the direct offspring of the pre-Han character (the Yin character is not known to me but the \"Greater Seal\" or \"Chou\" symbol will do):---See Figure 4** and the development of the modern character follows this line :-See Figure 5.\n\nSimple as the character is, it must be noted that the art of the calligrapher has obscured the anatomical correspondence of the symbol: the pictogram is that of a left ear and the old shape shows most clearly the concha as leading to the meatus with an indication of the intertragic notch; the upper black line suggests the start of the helix from the wall of the head and in the blank space between it and the central concha one must think the anti-helix and its fossa: the lowest black line is the most interesting as it suggests what most Chinese ears still show, sc. the lobule fusing with the cheek. This latter point together with the description of the ears as \"variance with each other,' in opposition\" is borne out by a character which is however not yet deciphered but must be taken on its merits as a pictogram: See Figure 6. This may indeed be a barbarian but it shows a figure with car-rings depending from ears that stand out as continuations of the cheeks: this is a Yin character,***\n\nAt\n\nThat ends the survey of facial or head features and seems to point to the indigenous nature of the characters as conforming to certain consistent national traits, even if the examination of the Mojeno-daro characters did not give one already much less to fear from that possible source of cultural influence.\n\nBefore concluding, I should like to handle the rather interesting CHI, now meaning \"to stop,\" etc. it occurred above as the phonetic part in the word for \"teeth\": it is itself the pictogram of a foot and so appropriately was set standing on top of the stand-like character for \"mouth\"-- though anatomically rather out of place. The development of this character shows that it came from a pictogram of a foot; originally either foot might be so used and one can distinguish them by the placing of the big toe: I take the left foot here for it is the one which has produced the modern character-See Figure 7.\n\n(*See 殷虛文字類編 Bk. 2, p. 19).\n\n(*** Bk. 12). (** See 說文古籀補)\n\nSome Physical Traits of the Chinese of the Second Millennium B.C. 225\n\nThus it is clear that the little stroke parallel to the base line and drawn about half way up is the big toe; the rest of the toes must be supplied by imagination as lying along a curve of which only the outer boundaries are indicated, this being a fairly common device in these characters, c.g. for the cutting blade of a knife which even to to-day is just the gap in the char- J. Now this prominence of the big toe shows the appreciation of people who go bare-foot (or the knowledge of people who experience not infrequent cases of amputation). In Aberdeen one can see how many of the boat-people (Tan Ka) bend their big toes up when walking. So at least one can conclude that bare-foot walking was a very usual thing when the characters were made.\n\nMight I again, in conclusion, stress the amount of interest to be derived from the re-examination of the new characters in the light of the oldest and that a real \"naturalist\" should find ample material there for research.\n\nThe Hong Kong Naturalist.\n\nDecember 1932.\n\nPage 224\n\nPage 150\n\nPage 151\n\n215", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-538-2 Hong Kong University 23-6-1932 - 15-3-1933.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 533251, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-538-2 Hong Kong University 23-6-1932 - 15-3-1933", "page_number": 225, "title": "CO129-538-2 Hong Kong University 23-6-1932 - 15-3-1933", "content_text": "Special \n\n9. \n\nTheir report, attempts, but admittedly without \n\nThe Committee, in paragraphs 10 and 11 of \n\n2185-5-- \n\n11 \n\n322 \n\nsuccess, to answer the question that naturally arises; \n\nwhat security is there that the courses now to be \n\nprovided will attract students, in view of the \n\nfact that no students hitherto have taken Chinese \n\nfor the B.A. Degree, and only a few have taken it \n\nfor the Intermediate Examination?

B. Prentis pleaded guilty to a technical offence.\n\nMr. Prentis said that the mui tsai was a clanswoman of defendant. He did not know exactly what relationship it was in English, but defendant was a step-daughter of the mui tsai's aunt. It was something similar to a first cousin.\n\nThe mui tsai had been in the custody of defendant for about five years, but had not always been in the Colony. When defendant came into the Colony, she went to the defendant and was handed two cards, which she failed to understand, not knowing how to read. She therefore failed to realize that from time to time she should notify her change of address. She did not realize any offence. She had moved three times.\n\nOn the question of wages, the defendant had paid the mui tsai money from time to time, and whenever the mui tsai wanted money she asked for it and was usually given the money.\n\nInspector H. W. Fraser said the girl was a registered mui tsai. She reported on June 8 that she had been assaulted by her employer, who threw the contents of a spittoon over her. Inquiries were made, and it was found that the girl had not been visited, as the defendant had changed her address. It was also found that the girl had not been paid her wages. She was entitled to two years' wages at $1 per month, and to another one year and 25 days' wages at $1.50 a month, the total being $43.25. The girl had a cane mark on the right cheek, which she said had been caused by her employer striking her. From all appearances, however, the girl had been well nourished.\n\nMr. Schofield ordered defendant to pay to the S.C.A. on behalf of the girl the arrears in her wages, and also fined her $20 on each summons.\n\nS.

Recently the Public Works Departments were making certain repairs to the hinges of one wing of this latter door and as a result threw out of alignment the door so that the lock would not work effectively until the person locking the door had raised one section of the winged door. I understand from Mr. Hynes that the mail clerk on arrival on the morning of the robbery found this door securely locked indicating that when last locked the peculiar action necessary to secure it had been performed, and suggesting that no one had passed through that doorway since it was fastened the previous night by the mail clerk.\n\n4. In view of the foregoing facts as furnished me by the Superintendent of Mails it would appear that the key of this safe, which should contain value amounting to $3,860, is never in possession of any senior officer whose duties include the custody or control of cash. The duties of the senior mail clerk and the Superintendent of Mails, I assume, do not have any connection with the accuracy of the cash and stamp holdings of the shroffs.

This record would be valuable, especially so had it been in force at the time of this event.\n\nFinally, I would invite reference to Colonial Regulation 207 which prescribes \"that no officer will be relieved of any portion of his responsibility should he depute to his subordinates the performance of duties which he should have performed himself\" I submit that this regulation is applicable in respect of the system in force for the custody of stamp imprests in charge of Postal Shroffs.\n\n(Sgd) P.J.A.

Mr. Wang Ching Wai, President of the Executive Yuan, in his declaration, said that the Tangku Agreement included only military and not political matters. Since then, the Japanese made use of this Agree- ment and forced Nanking to carry out the \"through traffic and through mail\" provisions, while Gen. Huang Fu and Mr. Wang Ching Wei, during that time, still stated that there was no secret stipulation included in the Tangku Agreement, so no outsider could apprehend the mystery of the Agreement. Mr. Hu was of the opinion that the agreement tained more than has been divul- ged to the public.\n\ncon-\n\n\"A certain diplomatist who had recently returned from Europe, has said: 'Since the Japanese Foreign Office had issued the \"Hands-off China Policy\" on April 17th, all the Chinese ministers in Europe had received special instructions from Mr. Wang Ching Wei, pro- hibiting them to make any state-\n\nthe accused.

It is a perfectly proper comment to make but I don't think, gentlemen, it is an important thing. You are not bound necessarily to accept that as the only theory about Mrs. Fairburn's observation, because it is possible that if a lady going down to town, expecting nothing of the sort, suddenly has her attention attracted by screams from children and sees a deliberate and diabolical assault on two little children committed by a man who jumps in himself - it is quite possible it would not dawn on her that more than two children were involved. It is the instinct of anyone like Mrs. Fairburn to run to No.1 bridge and see what she could do for the children.\n\nIf you accept that as a possibility then that explains why Mrs. Fairburn did not go up the Battery Path from the second bridge to the first with her eyes glued on the nullah to see what was happening to the other people.

It is then further refined by local tin refiners by a liquation method; in the case of No.1 Chinese Tin to 99% or over. The refined tin is usually cast in 1 cwt. slabs or ingots but in recent years a considerable amount has been cast in 28 lb. slabs.\n\nThe tin is exported by trading firms in Hong Kong who buy from the refiners. These exporters ask the Hong Kong Government Laboratory to sample and assay parcels of tin lying in the refiner's warehouses. There are, however, one or two exporters who also own refineries, e.g., Chee Hing.\n\nThe Government Laboratory sampler, whose sole duty is sampling, proceeds to the warehouse and, in the presence of a representative of the exporter and of the refiner, samples 10% (by number) of the parcel of slabs, irrespective of the size of the slabs. Messrs. Daniel C. Griffith & Co. agree with me that the method of sampling, which is by drilling, is satisfactory. Each slab of the parcel is stamped by a stamp punch bearing the Hong Kong Laboratory mark.\n\nThe drillings are collected, sealed, and brought to the Government Laboratory, where they are melted under tallow, dip sampled, and assayed by a method which Messrs. Daniel C. Griffith & Co. agree will give accurate results. That the method is accurate has been recently confirmed by duplicate analyses of a piece of tin carried out this Spring in Hong Kong and by Messrs. Griffith.\n\nPage 29", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-553-8 Tin- analyses of assay 11-3-1935 - 4-3-1936.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 549093, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-554-6 Hong Kong University- 1.

HERKLOTS.\n\nFamily HIRUNDINIDAE (Swallows and Martins).\n\nThe Swallows and Martins are swift flying insectivorous birds, catching their prey always on the wing. They have a wide gape, the short triangular bill is hooked at the tip, culmen nearly straight except at the tip, nostrils exposed. They have long and narrow wings with nine primaries, the secondaries are very short. The tail is more or less forked. Their legs are weak and though suitable for perching are not much good for walking; in consequence, the birds rarely come to the ground save to bathe in shallow pools and puddles and to pick up pellets of mud for their nests. The Swallows are related to the Flycatchers, Shrikes, and Birds-of-Paradise. The Swifts, though in some respects superficially like the Swallows (e.g., in their complete mastery of the art of flight), are not even in the same order, being in fact closely related to the Hummingbirds and akin to the Nightjars.\n\nHONG KONG SPECIES:- One swallow, the Eastern House-Swallow, Hirundo rustica gutturalis Scop., is a common summer visitor which breeds in the Colony; another, the Japanese Striated or Golden-Rumped Swallow, Hirundo daurica japonica T. & S., is a migrant species which spends a few days or a week or so in the Colony before proceeding northwards to its breeding grounds in China, Manchoukuo, and Japan. The Siberian House Martin, Delichon urbica whiteleyi, possibly migrates across the Colony regularly every year but has only once been recognized by us.\n\nDESCRIPTION.\n\nThe Eastern House-Swallow L.T. 6¾ inches. Plate 6, two lower figures. Length about 6½ inches. \"Forehead, base of fore crown, chin, and throat chestnut, very dark on forehead and fore crown; lores velvety black, sides of head otherwise glossy black; upper parts steel-blue, bases of hind neck and upper back-feathers white, those of rest of upper parts grey or dark brown; surface of wings and tail dull black, the wing-coverts and tertiaries glossed with metallic greenish-blue, the tail with a row of white spots near the tips of the inner webs of all the side-rectrices, but not showing unless the tail is spread out; an irregular black band on the upper breast, broken or encroached upon more or less by the chestnut of the throat.\" \"The rest of the underparts are either pure white, or else vinous-rufous or pale brick-red in various light or darker shades. In the rufous-bellied birds, the under tail-coverts are all darker than the abdomen, these varieties corresponding with those found in the European Swallow. In the white-bellied variety, the under tail-coverts are centred with blackish or brown. The young in first plumage are dull brownish above with very little gloss,\n\nPage 10\n\nPage 11", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-554-6 Hong Kong University- 1.

Legs very heavily feathered, claws greyish.\" L.T. I, p. 384.\n\nFIELD IDENTIFICATION.\n\nThe Eastern House-Swallow. Uniform bluish-black upper parts, no rump patch. Rufous throat, white breast and usually white belly, deeply forked tail with white spots near the tips of the feathers.\n\nThe Japanese Striated or Golden Rumped Swallow. Golden orange-chestnut rump-band, underparts suffused with rufous feathers with black shafts.\n\nThe Siberian House Martin. Small size. Tail not deeply forked, upper parts dark steel-grey or black, rump and underparts white.\n\nHABITS.\n\nThe Eastern House-Swallow is a regular and common summer visitor which breeds in the Colony. It arrives between the 15th and the end of February and leaves the Colony in August, September and early October though a few birds may remain as late as the beginning of November. November 2nd is our latest date for this species. Eastern House-Swallows are so abundant and their habits so well known that detailed description is unnecessary, they can be seen at their best from a high bank overlooking flooded paddy fields close to the surface of which swallows love to fly.\n\nThe Hong Kong Naturalist.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-554-6 Hong Kong University- 1.

These dates and the fact that the birds were seen only once in the month makes us think that in April the species migrates across the Colony northwards, small parties stopping for a short time to rest and feed. We have a record from Nanking for April 28 when the species arrived there. This species nests in the Min Valley, the Yangtse Valley, Chefoo, and further north in Manchoukuo and Japan.\n\nThe Siberian House Martin has only once been seen by us, a party of birds, in the company of Eastern House-Swallows, hawking flies over a village pond at Sek Kong near Kam Tin on April 2, 1934. La Touche, I, p. 384 writes of this species that it \"is not frequently seen on the China coast; the two specimens in my collection, one of which is from Shaweishan and the other shot by me at Chingwangtao, and a flock noticed by Vaughan and Jones on 16th March, 1907, at Hong Kong are about the only records. This species breeds in Siberia.\n\nNESTING HABITS.\n\nThe Eastern House-Swallow has similar nesting habits to its European cousin. The nests are built of mud, mixed perhaps with a little straw or grass, in the form of a saucer or cup and lined with feathers, they are fixed under the eaves of a house or on a ledge of rock. Inhabited houses and old deserted ruins are equally favoured. Four or five eggs are laid; they are white with a pale mauve tint and with small purplish brown speckles mostly towards the larger end. Size 18 x 13 mm. (See plate I, Egg No. 11, H.K.N. IV, 1933). The breeding season in Hong Kong is from mid March to the end of June. We have records of nest building March 12, eggs April 8 and 28 and young in nest May 20. In England the birds have up to four broods in a season; Caldwell in \"South China Birds\" gives two for Fukien.\n\nCROW-PHEASANTS, ADDITIONAL NOTES.\n\nIn the last issue of this journal on page 3 under Nesting Habits a reference was made on line 28 to a nest of the Chinese Crow-Pheasant found in a branch of a screw pine and built of course bladed grasses.

We have, since that day, frequently heard this species calling in Pokfulam but never have seen it again.

CROOK.\n\nAmong the devotees of natural history there are few more interesting figures than Gilbert White. He lived through stirring times in European and Colonial history, but through them all he showed that unique detachment of mind which is more interested in the nesting habits of the nightjar than in the Declaration of Independence; is more affected by an unusual cloud of insects than by the French Revolution. He left us two interesting observations. One of these, in May 1777, was on earthworms. About a hundred years later Charles Darwin took up the hint then dropped and gave us \"The Formation of Vegetable Mould through the Action of Worms.”\n\nIn the second observation, about a year later, Gilbert White says:-\n\n\"Of all sorts of vegetation the grasses seem to be most neglected, neither the farmer nor the grazier seem to distinguish the annual from the perennial, the hardy from the tender, nor the succulent and nutritive from the dry and juiceless. The study of grasses would be of great consequence to a northerly and grazing kingdom. The botanist that could improve the sward of the district where he lived would be a useful member of society: to raise a thick turf on a naked soil would be worth volumes of systematic knowledge; and he would be the best commonwealth's man that could occasion the growth of 'two blades of grass where only one was seen before.'\n\n21\n\nMrs. Arber has now taken the hint and given us this monumental work on the grasses.* The work, of course, has not come a ready-made and completed miracle from the brain of Mrs. Arber as Athena came from the head of Zeus. For more than a generation the public has been indebted to her for her monographs and studies on the grasses and other families: botanists have requisitioned her erudition and research on monocotyledons, water-plants, and indeed over the whole range of morphological studies. And now after more than thirty years of intensive study she has epitomised her researches in this masterly volume, utilizing in her path all the scholarship and research which the great band of agrostologists from all over the world have placed at the disposal of the scientific scholar. But how few there are who could have used this mass of material with the wonderful skill and appropriateness which Mrs. Arber has displayed!\n\nThe study of the grasses embraces so much and is so far-reaching in its effects from the creation of the world to the flora of the New Jerusalem; from the diet of palaeolithic man to the food questions of President Roosevelt; from the latest news from Lord's or Wimbledon to the state of our digestion after a breakfast of shredded wheat or puffed rice—that any work dealing with the whole subject must stretch out into volumes.

CROOK\n\nmethod the subject is treated there will be some readers who will want something different, some who will be disappointed that their particular pet hobby has not been sufficiently emphasised.\n\nMrs. Arber says her book was not logically planned but simply grew. Her own words are, she \"allowed the book to write itself.\" This of course, must not be taken as the equivalent of the schoolboy's well-known cloak of excuse, \"I didn't do it, Sir: it was my hand.\" The first few chapters all too short-give an account of the cereals, their putative homes, history, and relationships to their wild cousins. Considering that the whole of human existence and civilization is bound up with these cereals we are surprised that Mrs. Arber curtailed these chapters so much. Even at the expense of a book twice the size we need all the information we can get. One whole side of the question is shut out with the laconic words: \"An account of cereal geography would be outside the scope of this book.\"\n\nShe offers no pronounced opinion on the relative antiquity of wheat, barley, rice and maize as domesticated plants, though if botanists could assist in settling this question, or throw some light on it, they would thereby greatly aid the solution of the whole vexed question of the priority of civilization in Egypt, Mesopotamia, China, or Peru.\n\nMrs. Arber mentions the interesting fact that maize is the only cereal which may not lead a feral existence: \"it cannot propagate itself spontaneously, for the grain does not escape from the husks without help.” The most natural explanation of this fact would seem to be that the grain had been so long domesticated that it had lost the essential means of survival, whereas the other cereals were only on the way towards losing them. This of course is a supposition, but Mrs. Arber rather than assume it seems to prefer the derivation of the plant 'possibly by a process of hybridisation' from Teosinte (Euchlaena mexicana), the grass of nearest affinity to it in the New World. When Mrs. Arber says \"the grain does not escape from the husks without help\" we naturally wonder if there might not have been in days gone by, in the native home of the grain, a parrot or some such bird which might have been the effective ministrant. A plant like maize, which supplies en masse a proliferation of seed as in the corn-cob, could well afford to sacrifice 60% to 70% of each cob if it thereby got 5% to 10% disseminated. Some of the parrots can handle a cob with great dexterity. But if the Indians of America adopted this grain as their chief domestic plant they would naturally kill out this enemy to their food supply.\n\nOf the rice plant we are told that \"the earliest record we have of it is in old Chinese writings and it has been cultivated continuously in that country since the remote past.\" When Mrs. Arber wrote her book Mr. Andersson's \"Children of the Yellow Earth\" was only in the press. In this latter work (p. 336) in speaking of the fragments of a jar from the Yang Shao civilization Mr. Andersson says:----\n\nThe Hong Kong Naturalist.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-554-6 Hong Kong University- 1.

It was unusually thick in the wall, porous and full of plant imprints. Two Swedish botanists, G. Edman and E. Söderberg, examined this small fragment and their examination led to the most important discovery in this field since the discovery in 1921 of the Yang Shao dwelling site. It could be shown with certainty that the plant imprints in this fragment were husks of cultivated rice (Oryza sativa). The discovery was in a high degree sensational not only because it sets back the history of rice an immense distance in time, but also because it points not to dry Central Asia, but to rainy Southern Asia, which is the homeland of rice.'\n\n\"\n\nIt thus looks as if we should have to give rice the pre-eminence in antiquity of all the cereals. Its home was probably the Burma-Siam region or perhaps Southern China, though Mrs. Arber does not shut out the possibility of tropical Africa. When did it first reach Europe? If its original home was Africa it possibly reached Europe in very early times. But if, as seems more probable, its original home was the monsoon area of Eastern Asia it probably did not reach Europe till Saracen times. Gibbon, however, gives quite another view. He says of the Roman marriage, \"the contracting parties tasted a salt cake of far or rice, and this confarreation, which denoted the ancient food of Italy, (italics ours) seemed as an emblem of their mystic union of mind and body.\" Gibbon was probably no botanist any more than Dr. Johnson, but we should have been pleased if Mrs. Arber had told us whether there was any foundation for Gibbon's belief that rice was \"the ancient food of Italy.\" Some of the facts which Mrs. Arber does mention about rice are well worthy of note. One often wonders why some of the Eastern peoples keep rice as their staple food, especially as it is dearer than wheat, and not a very complete food stuff (\"it lacks nitrogenous matter and also fat.\") But we get this interesting piece of information which may possibly account for a good deal:-\"The deficiencies of the grain from the food standpoint become virtues under tropical conditions, since they improve its keeping capacity.\"\n\nCurious and disjointed facts which we have heard in youth sometimes stay in our heads a long time. When I was a schoolboy we had Robinson Crusoe as an examination text-book, and the teacher, believing that the examiners were likely to ask a question on de Foe's errors in Robinson Crusoe, had carefully coached us on all these mistakes. I have forgotten them all now, except one. I don't think my teacher was a botanist but he told us that when Robinson Crusoe is represented as emptying the bag of remains of barley and rice on the ground under the rocks and later finding barley and rice growing, that de Foe had made a mistake; that the rice grain in this condition would not grow; that it was the only grain which lost its germ in being hulled.*\n\nNow the rice grain as we get it for food has no germ. Mrs. Arber, of course, does not mention in what stage of the process\n\n* Since writing the above I have found that this error and others in Robinson Crusoe are mentioned by Archbishop Whately in his Commonplace Book, and my teacher seems to have got them from this source.\n\nJuly 1935.\n\n18", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-554-6 Hong Kong University- 1.

But Mrs. Arber does not mention whether any of the near allies of rice lose their germ as readily as rice seems to do.\n\nWe should have liked a lengthier discussion on the antiquity and possible birthplace of the sugar-cane-\"the only important perennial grass grown for human food.\" \"It is selected for sterility, since the store of sugar in the stem would be exhausted by the act of flowering.\" So this is the reason that the plant never flowers. Many a time in South China and Formosa I have asked the Chinese farmer for the flower and fruit of the sugar-cane and he always replied that it had none. Mr. Silvens in his \"Texas Grasses\" also notes, \"rarely blooms in the United States.\" \"There are indications that the cultivation of the sugar-cane began very early in India\" but we are not given any precise idea of what this 'very early' means. Mrs. Arber does not refer to the two passages in the Old Testament where the sugar-cane is mentioned-Isaiah XLIII, v. 24, \"Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices\"; and Jeremiah VI, v. 20 \"to what purpose cometh there to me incense from Sheba and the sweet cane from a far country?\" So evidently the Hebrews of 600 or 700 B.C. were familiar with the sugar-cane as a domestic plant, though like spices it was an import 'from a far country'. Alphonse de Candolle, in \"The Origin of Cultivated Plants\" (p. 159), says, \"On the other hand the Hebrew writings do not mention sugar\". But Alphonse de Candolle was a Frenchman, and the French are almost proverbially ignorant of the Bible. Not so, however, Mrs. Arber.\n\nWhen we come to the résumé of our knowledge of the bamboos and the origin of the tree-habit as exemplified by them we reach some of the most interesting part of the book. Like the shady Bishop, \"our interest's on the dangerous edge of things\", though perhaps 'the dangerous edge' is not quite the same for the Bishop and for us. But readers of some of these fascinating chapters must feel that Mrs. Arber has an interest in the dangerous edge of things too, but inspired and tempered by her unique scholarship and academic restraint. When the man in the street thinks about the development of plants at all he seems generally to conclude that the herbaceous forms appeared first, and that some of these, strengthening and lignifying their vascular tissues, grew into shrubs and trees. Botanists, on the other hand, were inclined to reverse this order: they generally held that the herbaceous forms were later than the woody forms; the herbaceous and annual grasses would thus be the later and more modern arrivals. This view seemed to be rather supported from an examination of the flower. Thus the flower of the bamboos conformed more closely to what was accepted as the original typical monocotyledonous type.

Lest we should do an injustice to her theory we must put the crucial part of her statement in her own words:-\n\n•\n\n\"In discussions on the tree and herb habit in Angiosperms, a mode of statement is often used, which seems to me to be the root of much morphological evil: I mean that in comparing various groups of flowering plants, botanists are apt to speak of some as more ancient than others. Every one of the various lineages must have lived through all the time that has elapsed since the original stock came into being, and it is hence a misuse of language to talk of one lineage as being ‘older’ than another. This usage is sometimes defended on the ground that 'old' or 'ancient' in this sense means 'having primitive characteristics' but I do not think that the word 'old' should be treated as a synonym for 'old-fashioned'. Now there is a time-relation, to which attention has been drawn in Sinnott's paper on \"Comparative Rapidity of Evolution in Various Plant Types,\" which is of the first importance when considered in connection with the equality of evolutionary age of all existing stocks of flowering plants. This point is the shortness of generations in herbs as compared with trees. Sinnott estimates that in herbaceous species we may reckon fifty to a hundred generations to a century, and in most trees only four or five. It is possible that he exaggerates this difference in general, but in some of the Gramineae it is undoubtedly even more striking than his figures suggest.\n\nThe dictum, that \"the single step in evolution is not a year but a generation,\" must be accepted, if we believe that evolutionary development depends on the changes in the germ cells which come about in connection with sexual reproduction. It is thus obvious, a priori, that, in a given period of years, the herb will have more numerous chances than the tree of undergoing the changes in its genic outfit which condition variations. This theoretical conclusion is confirmed by the statistical facts concerning the number of species in genera and families of trees and herbs; for it is clear that the existence of a relatively high number of species in a genus or family means that it has been the scene of correspondingly active evolutionary development. Sinnott shows that in the Dicotyledons the average number of species in the woody genera is 12.5, while in the herbaceous genera it is 15. The existence of this evolutionary lag—if we may so name it—among trees as compared with herbs is well demonstrated by Sinnott, and yet he hardly seems to appreciate its full significance. In the Leguminosae, two of the subfamilies, Mimoseae and Caesalpineae, with their regular or nearly regular flowers, are without question more primitive in type than the Papilionatae, with their curious butterfly-shaped blossoms. Now of the 121 genera in the first two subfamilies, 113 are wholly woody, and the other 8 contain both woody and herbaceous forms; there are no entirely herbaceous genera. In the Papilionatae, on the other hand, 29% of the genera are herbaceous. It is evident, therefore, that the more primitive members of the Leguminosae are almost all woody, but that there is a much higher percentage of herbs in the part of the family with more specialised\n\nJuly 1935,\n\n•\n\n10", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-554-6 Hong Kong University- 1.

Sinnott and Bailey interpret these facts as showing that the family was originally arboreal, and that a subsequent reduction from the tree to the herbaceous type in certain genera has been accompanied by the development of specialised flowers. But bearing in mind the evolutionary lag in the tree form, it is surely more logical to suppose that the Leguminosae were originally herbaceous, and that those lineages which adopted the tree habit, put a brake, as it were, upon their own evolution and thus dropped behind the lineages which by remaining herbaceous, retained the power of mounting the ladder of floral specialization at a relatively rapid rate. The Leguminosae are by no means the only family in which the same process can be followed. The example which chiefly concerns us here, but to which Sinnott and Bailey do not refer, is the Gramineae. The herbaceous grasses have, as a rule, extremely reduced flowers, but the flowers of the dendroid Bambuseae approximate much more closely to the usual monocotyledonous type.\n\nSo far so good. But surely Mrs. Arber must admit that the genera of the Bambuseae themselves ought to show this evolutionary lag more clearly in those where the generations are slow than in the annual or biennial forms; i.e. the flowers of those bamboos with a long period between their generations should approximate much more closely to the usual monocotyledonous type than the flowers of those which are annual or have a short period. But this is not so. Thus Dendrocalamus sp. with about a twenty-five or thirty year breeding period has numerous stamens; and Ochlandra sp., also with a slow breeding period, shows numerous structural variations from what might be considered the type form. While some of the annual bamboos, like Arundinaria Wightiana, which have therefore much more chance of undergoing the changes of genic outfit, remain much closer to the usual monocotyledonous type. It must be noted, however, that many of the changes which do take place in the bamboos are in the nature of proliferation of the parts rather than reduction.\n\nThere is so much to comment upon and so many interesting details to quote in this volume that selection is difficult. The way in which cytology has come to the assistance of the observer and the field naturalist forms a very interesting branch of modern research. The early settlers in America were hard up for fodder grasses. Several British meadow grasses had to be imported. One, Phleum pratense L., introduced by Timothy Hansen, proved a very useful fodder grass. It was sent back to England a stronger and stouter plant under the name of 'Timothy grass.' Cytologists have now found that the returned emigrant has 42 chromosomes instead of the 14 with which the original wild 'Pilgrim Father' started out. Poa pratensis has also gone across to the States, and has become the famous 'Kentucky blue-grass.' Mrs. Arber makes the interesting suggestion that it, too, may be found to be a polyploid form i.e. a grass which has multiplied its chromosomes. This polyploidy is possibly initiated by crossing with some other species—though by what species these particular grasses were fertilised may now perhaps never be discovered.\n\nPolyploidy, too, seems to have played its part in the production of that useful grass Spartina townsendi of which Mrs. Arber gives an interesting\n\nThe Hong Kong Naturalist.\n\nPage 20\n\nPage 21", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-554-6 Hong Kong University- 1.

It has since spread rapidly along the South coast and has invaded the Normandy coast of France. It was thought at first to be a foreign invader—but this is now disbelieved. Cytological evidence shows that it has no less than 126 chromosomes. So that possibly hybridisation and doubling of the chromosomes may account for this useful arrival. My first acquaintance with it was in 1918 from Carey and Oliver's \"Tidal Lands.\" At the time I was in Hong Kong and was anxious to have the grass tried experimentally on those terrible inter-tidal mud flats which disfigure so much of the sea coast in the New Territory. I then failed but I hope to try again. Its speed of growth and usefulness in reclaiming salt-marshes and mud swamps have made this grass a godsend, and now Mrs. Arber gives a glowing account of its beauty in the Baie des Veys on the French coast. Who knows but if it were transplanted to the mud flats of the Canton River it might become more polyploid still and not only transfigure the landscape there but return to us as a beneficial emigrant like Timothy.\n\nIt would be sheer impertinence on our part to attempt to criticise this book. Its format, its printing, and Mrs. Arber's delicate illustrations make it a perfect pleasure to read. Almost 500 pages of highly technical English terms, as well as hosts of botanical names, generic and specific without, as far as we could see, a single error, throw a lustre on the Cambridge University Press and all concerned in its production. True, we might pick a crow with Mrs. Arber about some of her terms, but we know we could only expect a few quills. Mrs. Arber is painfully fastidious about her terminology, as witness her notes on the spelling of gynæcium and andrœcium, but yet she writes caryopses as the plural of caryopsis. We doubt it has classical justification, but it is not sanctioned by the S.O.E.D. Again, she writes 'stomates'—possibly an early form. This, too, is not sanctioned by the S.O.E.D.; for though it gives the singular 'stomate,' it distinctly states that this is the singular of 'stomata.' She has monantochloë—possibly the original form. But 'anthos,' not 'antos,' is the Greek for a flower: but even if Linnaeus himself or Darwin made the mistake originally that is no reason why it should be followed now. In another place she writes, 'the twist of the column is dextral.' Now here, though Mrs. Arber has the S.O.E.D. with her, we cannot agree. An old mathematical master at school never tired of telling us, of motion in a circle or a spiral you can never say left or right, sinistral or dextral: you must always say clockwise and contraclockwise.\n\nWhen I read the account of the twist in the awn of avena, anthoxanthum, stipa, and danthonia I took out specimens of the plants to see if the direction of the twist was constant. Mrs. Arber offers no explanation of the direction or constancy. As a few of my specimens were from Natal my interest naturally turned to them to see if the twist was in the opposite direction (for Marie Stopes' baby would kick itself round so as to have its head pointing to the South pole if it was born south of the Equator). But they were all alike. But is there unfailing constancy of twist?

The dorsal pattern consists of transverse black lines with broader pale bands intervening.\n\nThe webs of the different species of Argiope are orbs without a conducting thread.\n\nThe female always remains at the centre resting on a characteristic white stabilimentum which is X-shaped. The long legs of the spider stretch out with one pair to each arm of the X. Pocock considers that the white ribbons of the stabilimentum conceal the spider's limbs from flies and from marauding wasps. It seems to me, however, that they serve rather as a background which shows up the spider's legs. The white silk may attract flies but the ribbons are essentially a support for the spider's body. That the spider is quite easily seen thus resting during the day by an enemy is proved by their being picked off their web by birds. In Madras in my own compound I have watched a Mynah (Acridotheres tristis), an Indian starling, deliberately walk up to the web in full daylight and find a juicy mouthful in the unfortunate owner.

The genus is widespread in the Tropics and sub-Tropics with the headquarters in Malaya and Oceania from which some 40 species have been identified. One species is European and another Canadian.

He first noticed their small webs placed between the strands of the large web and found them eating the young of another species.\n\nThese parasitic spiders evidently escape the notice of the bigger spider and take food that she finds too small to bother with. Vinson called his first species Linyphia parasitica.\n\nThe species fissifrons derives its name from the male where the fore part of the head is prominent and divided horizontally by a deep fissure into 2 lobes, the lower one being the stronger. Both lobes have strong, prominent hairs on them, but especially the upper one. In spirit specimen the colours are as follows:- cephalothorax yellow brown: legs of same colour with darker bands and not very hairy: abdomen oblong rounded in front and produced behind over the spinnerets which are prominent. Abdomen dorsally is pale yellow brown with two longitudinal silvery lines meeting behind; these lines branch at the sides and become margined with deep red brown approaching black. Both sexes have the same colourings and the abdomen may have scattered silvery spots in addition to the lines. Tip of abdomen in the female is distinctly pointed as compared with the projecting bluff end in the male. She has not the deep cleft in the head so characteristic of the male. The female has a characteristic dark brown spot on the tip of the abdomen and another of the same kind and size low down behind the spinnerets.\n\nThe female measures 5 mm. long and the male about the same. The cocoon containing the eggs has a characteristic shape like a pear or globular with a blunt tip downwards: at the top end there is a long stalk which divides at its upper end into two diverging branches which attach the cocoon to the strands of the big web of the host (see figure).\n\nThe Hong Kong Naturalist.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-554-6 Hong Kong University- 1.

S. P. HEYWOOD.\n\nOf all the Hong Kong hills Ma On Shan is my favourite; its steep wooded slopes falling straight to the sea and the graceful curve of the skyline between its two peaks make it the most beautiful of our mountains. It is a fine climb by any route, and on a clear day the view from the summit is unsurpassed; to the west Tai Mo Shan shows its full height; to the east, seeming almost beneath one's feet so steep is the slope, lies Port Shelter, and beyond it are blue hills and blue water along miles of coast to Bias Bay in the distance. Even on a cloudy day it is worth a visit; a mountain never looks so impressive from below as when its slopes disappear into the mist, and the imagination is left to picture fantastic peaks above.\n\nThe mountain has been happily described in an article by Mr. Gibbs in H.K.N. Vol. II, p. 214; his sketch map shows all the paths referred to below.\n\n### The Hunchback Ridge.\n\nThe south and west sides of Ma On Shan can most easily be reached by taking a sampan from Lok Lo Ha, about a mile and a half beyond Shatin on the Tai Po road; the voyage across Tide Cove takes twenty minutes or so, and is a pleasant way of beginning and ending a day's scrambling. The sampan lands us at Tai Shui Hang, and we take the path which turns uphill to the left behind the last house in the village; the path winds along the side of a valley some distance above the stream until it joins the Iron Mine road near Ma On Shan village. The road is followed for a few hundred yards westward to the foot of the Hunchback ridge; a faint track can be discovered winding steeply up the ridge, which provides a most airy and exhilarating climb to the summit. The top of the first hunchback is a delectable place for the lunch halt; here the climber can recline on sun-warmed rocks, while dangling his feet over the edge of the cliff a hundred feet or so above the tree-tops.\n\nThe way up the second hunchback is steep and slippery; nailed shoes give a sense of security which the handholds of straggling grass fail to provide. The third and highest hunchback (2,226 feet) is reached in about 2 1/2 hours from Tai Shui Hang, and 20 minutes more are needed for the walk along the narrow ridge of the saddle to the top of Ma On Shan.\n\nThe short cut directly down the S.W. face towards Ma On Shan village looks simple but is not to be recommended; I have vivid recollections of a nightmare struggle to reach the stream through thick scrub, where spiders of incredible size would appear with startling suddenness a few inches in front of my face. A better way is to continue along the ridge and so down to the Iron Mine by the route described in the next paragraph.\n\n### The South Ridge.\n\nThe easiest way up the mountain starts from the Iron Mine about half a mile S.E. of Ma On Shan village. Fortunately for the walker there are at present no signs that this secluded bit of country will become a smoky industrial area. Peace reigns, and the lorry which used to jolt up and down the road between the mine and the jetty appears to have made its last journey. Beyond the mine a path crosses a shoulder of the hill into a narrow valley which descends from the high ground im-\n\nJuly 1935.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-554-6 Hong Kong University- 1.

The path crosses the stream and zig-zags up a grassy spur on the far side, eventually reaching a high pass on the ridge between Ma On Shan and Pyramid Hill. The ridge is followed to the top, passing close to the fine crag which falls sheer from the summit on its eastern side. Time, 2½ hours from Tai Shui Hang.\n\nThe East Face from Sai Kung.-Seen from Port Shelter the bold eastern face of Ma On Shan looks almost impregnable, yet there is an easy path up the mountain from this side. Rather less than a mile north of Sai Kung a long wooded spur comes down to the coast, and a paved path leads up it to the village of Wong Chuk Yeung, about 700 feet above sea level. I reached this village one cloudy evening with about two hours of daylight to spare; in the still air the blue smoke from the cottages was rising into the grey blanket of mist which lay close above the roofs. A villager, whom I asked the way up the mountain, evidently thought that this mad Westerner should be discouraged from wandering on the hills so late in the evening in so thick a fog, and told me that no path existed. Not wishing to worry the kind man, I retraced my steps until out of sight, and then plunged through the bushes to an obvious path on the hillside behind the village. This took me up on to a spur and along a hummocky ridge towards the face of the mountain, with fine glimpses through the mist of the cliffs below the summit away to the right. The path turned to the left where the ridge joins the face, and finally reached the top of the south ridge about 500 yards from the summit. This climb takes about 2 hours from Sai Kung; the path is well shown on the R.A.F. map, sheets 15 and 16.\n\nSo much for the easy ways up Ma On Shan; those which can be climbed (almost) with the hands in the pockets.\n\nThe North East Face. This splendid mountain wall is thickly forested and difficult of access, but the botanist or scrambler will find it well worth a visit. Through the kindness of a friend in Tai Po our party was given a lift in a launch, which landed some of us in the bay to the east of White Head. It was a cloudy day, and most of the party scorned the delights of scrambling in the mist, and landed further down the coast for a long walk over the lower hills. We started along a track which led hopefully up the glen behind Cheung Muk Tau; unfortunately it was only a cow track, and after meandering between the bushes as cow tracks do, it disappeared completely in the deep gorge at the head of the glen. We burrowed our way up through a jungle, where wild pigs had evidently been grubbing for roots, and rather to our surprise managed to find a way out on to the ridge to the east. Here to our joy there was a path; it would probably have been better to start the climb from the foot of this spur, where it comes down to the sea at Nai Chung.\n\nWe\n\nFor another 500 feet of ascent we followed the path up the steep crest of the spur, until the latter merged into the N.E. face of the mountain. The path dwindled away, and the rest of the climb was through thick scrub, up a slope which was everywhere steep and in places precipitous. We took comfort from the thought that had we slipped on the damp and greasy rocks, the bushes would have prevented us from rolling far. Finally we emerged, breathless and triumphant, on the highest point of the Hunchbacks.\n\nJuly 1935.\n\n35", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-554-6 Hong Kong University- 1.

HEYWOOD\n\nThe North West Ridge of the Hunchbacks.-Like the route just described-very steep and bushy; a wearisome ascent, but admirable as a quick way off the mountain. The ridge plunges straight down from the summit of the Hunchbacks almost to sea level. A narrow track follows the edge of the ridge, like a long rabbit-hole through the bushes. When it reaches a big shoulder about 1,000 feet above sea level, the track diverges to the right and descends towards White Head. If your sampan is waiting for you at Tai Shui Hang, you will be tempted to take a short cut to the left, across the lower slopes of the mountain, where a path is shown in Mr. Gibb's sketch map.\n\nBut the path has disappeared, the hillside is thickly forested and almost impassable, and the shortest way will take the longest time. It is better to come down to the sea near White Head, and to follow the shore to Tai Shui Hang.\n\nOther ascents, more or less legendary, have been made on the north and north-west sides of Ma On Shan, but it would be a pity to describe them and so deprive the reader of the joys of exploration on this fascinating mountain.\n\nKowloon Peak to Ma On Shan.-There is a charm in a long walk on a high ridge; the uphill grind is finished early, and all day long you are walking in the cool air of the hilltops, with wide views on either side. And when at last you reach the final point of the ridge and look back on the long rank of peaks and passes which you have crossed, you feel that the day has indeed been well spent. Perhaps the finest walk in the Colony is from Kowloon Peak to Ma On Shan, along the watershed which divides Port Shelter on the East from Tide Cove and Hong Kong Harbour on the west. The ridge is never less than 1,000 feet above sea level; from end to end it is five miles as the crow flies, and the whole walk, returning by Sai Kung and over Customs Pass, is about 16 miles in length. A peak-bagger, who delights in climbing as many summits as possible in the day, will of course walk over every point on the ridge; this would involve over 5,000 feet of ascent-rather too enormous an expedition for an ordinary walker. We started at 9:30 a.m., and took an easier way, missing Kowloon Peak itself, and reaching the ridge by the Jat Incline. This excellent path starts from the Customs Pass road a short distance above the Kowloon Dairy, and climbs for 1,800 feet at an easy gradient across the flank of Kowloon Peak to the top of the ridge a few yards S.E. of Tate's Cairn. Time, 13/4 hours from the bus stop at Kai Tak.\n\nA few steps down the far side of the ridge put us out of sight of the town, and we might have been a hundred miles from civilization. This is certainly the place for a halt, to gaze on the lovely view over Port Shelter; but not a long one, for Ma On Shan, standing up nobly at the end of the ridge, is still far away. The next obstacle was the little hill obscurely named One Rise More. Perhaps this hill has no Chinese name, but in cases where native names exist it is surely better to stick to them. There are too many absurdities such as Pottinger Peak and Mount Butler in the Colony, however worthy their namesakes may have been. It is fortunate that the English name for the highest mountain in the world sounds so well, but the native name Chomolungma, \"The Goddess Mother of the Snows,\" is perhaps more beautiful and certainly more appropriate.\n\nThe Hong Kong Naturalist", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-554-6 Hong Kong University- 1.

A few yards below this pass to the east is a spring which is always running except in the driest of seasons; here we did justice to a magnificent thirst.\n\nA paved path runs eastward from Heather Pass across the slopes of Buffalo Hill to Buffalo Pass. As far as I know, there is no path to the top of Buffalo Hill (1,987 feet), but this glorious viewpoint can be reached fairly easily by a steep scramble of 400 feet up from the pass of the same name. After this digression we returned to the pass and continued along the ridge; the route was a little vague, for the good path had descended into the valley on our left, and we had to trust to cow tracks. In clear weather there is no difficulty in following the watershed down to Delta Pass; unfortunately, however, we were by this time shrouded in thick mist. It soon became obvious to the rearguard that the leader, although he continued to plod obstinately ahead, had lost the way; in a little while some cows loomed up out of the mist; they looked strangely familiar, and closer examination proved without any doubt that they were the very cows which we had passed a quarter of an hour previously. After this chastening experience we pulled ourselves together, and found our way to Delta Pass without further mishap. Here we halted for half an hour for lunch.\n\nOn the far side of the pass is a short steep rise to Ngong Ping. This remote little village has a charm of its own; it stands on a high plateau, hidden from the rest of the world; a grove shades it in summer, and shelters it from the east wind in winter; in front are a few paddy fields, and beyond them are only the mountain tops and the wide sky.\n\nThe path crosses the paddy fields, goes over a pass west of Pyramid Hill, and descends to Ma On Shan village; we left it a few yards below the pass on the far side, and took an easy short cut across the hillside in the direction of the summit of Ma On Shan, until we struck the path up from the Iron Mine. The route from here to the summit has already been described. We reached the top in thick cloud at 2.45 p.m., halted long enough to eat an orange, and turned back to descend to Sai Kung. It was pleasant to come down out of the cloud on to lower ground; the greens and browns of the hillsides were good to look on, for colours never seem so rich as when the eyes have been attuned for hours to a grey monotone of mist.\n\nThe fishing fleet was anchored in the little harbour of Sai Kung, and from the junks came a cheerful clack of voices, like the contented sounds from a rookery in the evening. If Sai Kung were transplanted to the south coast of England, it would become a \"beauty spot\"; artists would inhabit the cottages; \"Ye Olde Ship Inne\" would inevitably make its appearance, with its ruinous prices and sham antiques, and at its doors charabancs would unload their hordes at week-ends. But away with such horrid thoughts; Sai Kung is still cut off from civilization by six miles of footpath, and if you cannot get beer to revive you for the long trudge home, at least you can get delicious oranges for next to nothing.\n\nThus refreshed, we strolled home in the dusk over Customs Pass, and at 7.10 p.m. reached the car waiting at the bottom of the hill.\n\nJuly 1935.\n\n38", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-554-6 Hong Kong University- 1.

This stone recorded that in the 11th year of K'in, Woh (2) A.D. 954 a military officer named Ch'an Ts'un (1) had paid a stone mason to carve a figure of Pooi To which he put in a cave near the monastery, and which can still be seen. In the 4th year of Yuen Yau (πi) A.D. 1089 of \"Sung (✯) dynasty a general in Canton named Tseung Chi K'ei (2) wrote an account of the hill, and put it on a stone tablet in place of the old one.

He was easily pleased, but quickly angered. Sometimes he talked a lot, at other times he remained silent for whole days, and when it was very cold he would often roll in the snow.

The owner gave chase, but even though he ran and Pooi To appeared to be walking slowly ahead of him, he could not catch him up. Then a man on a horse joined in the chase, but even he fared no better. At last the river, Maang Tsuh (#) was reached and the owner felt certain of being able to get his idol back, but Pooi To, a little ahead of him, calmly threw his cup in the river, and sitting in it ferried across. From these stories his name of Pooi To \"cup across\" was derived.\n\nmove it.\n\nOnce Pooi To went to a small district called Kwong Ling (M) and entered a village belonging to a family called Lei (). One of the villagers was holding a big religious ceremony and feast (called Paat 'Kwaan Tsaai A which is a vegetarian meal given free to all that call) in his house, and into the midst of this Pooi To walked calmly, and put his rice basket down in the centre of the hall, and sat down to meditate. The guests at the feast were much disgusted at his dirty appearance and tried to take the basket away, but found they could not. Lei himself tried to lift it, and called his sons to help, still they could not move it. Then Pooi To, taking no notice of them, started eating the rice and food set on the table, and when he had finished his meal, he got up, lifted up the basket and went out. Turning back at the door he said \"The four Kings of Heaven will send a lot of Happiness to your family, Lei.\" While he spoke a young child was peering into his basket, and he quickly ran and told his father that he had seen four miniature children only a few inches long and beautifully dressed, lying in the basket. Then Lei realized that Pooi To must be a holy man, and he wanted to ask him to stay, but he found Pooi To had gone. For three days he searched for him, and at last found him sitting in a little wood to the west of his house. So Lei took Pooi To back to his home, and he stayed with him for many days. The people living round about soon learnt that he was a holy man, and brought their sick to be cured by him. They would offer him money and presents, which Pooi To with his characteristic inconsistency sometimes accepted and sometimes refused.\n\nLater on a high officer named Lau 'Hing Paak () heard about Pooi To and invited him to stay in his house. Pooi To arrived carrying, as usual, his rice basket. Lau hospitably sent his servants to meet him and to carry his basket for him, but they found they could not pick it up. More servants came until there were ten of them, yet even they could not move it. Then Lau himself looked in the basket and found in it only one torn coat and one wooden cup.\n\nJuly 1935.\n\n40", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-554-6 Hong Kong University- 1.

One day, just at daybreak Pooi To asked his host to make him a new coat, and said that he wanted it by noon. Lei started off at once to make it, but when noon came it was not finished, so Pooi To said \"I want to go out for a while, but I will return this evening.\" Evening came but Pooi To did not come back. Lei noticed a very sweet smell filling the house, and wondering where the fragrance came from, he went out and traced it to a stone cave. There he found Pooi To lying dead. His old torn coat was beneath him, but round his head and feet a lot of water-lilies were growing. Much grieved Lei left the cave, and the next morning he came back with a coffin. He found the water-lilies all dead, but Pooi To still there, so he buried him and went home sadly. Several days later a traveller from the North visited Lei and mentioned that he had seen Pooi To walking with his rice basket towards a place called P'aang Sheng (). Lei was astonished and could not believe it, an argument followed, and to prove he was right Lei took the traveller to where Pooi To had been buried. With much effort Lei dug up the coffin, and opened it. All that was inside was a pair of old shoes.\n\nWhen Pooi To arrived at Paang Sheng a very poor scholar named Wong Yan () entertained him in his house. Wong was ashamed of his poverty and being only able to give his guest corn to eat, but Pooi To said \"This is the best food in the world\". After staying with him about six months Pooi To said to Wong one day, \"I have need of thirty-six rice baskets. Get them at once for me\". Wong was much distressed and answered \"I have only got ten and I am so poor I cannot afford to buy more, what can I do?\" Pooi To comforted him, and said “There is no need to buy, look about your house\". Wong did what he was told, and in all sorts of corners rice baskets appeared, until he found to his amazement that he had collected thirty-six in his yard. Most of them were dirty and broken, but Pooi To told him to go round and count them again carefully, after which they all appeared quite new. Then Pooi To wrapped each basket up separately and when that was done, he told Wong to open them again. Each basket was full of coins. Wong did not keep all the money himself, but gave generously to others in need.\n\nPooi To stayed with Wong for a year, and then quite suddenly he said one day \"I must go\". Wong hastened to cook a farewell meal, but, even before it was ready Pooi To had disappeared as mysteriously as he had come.\n\nAbout a month later Pooi To appeared in a place called Ng Kwan (), a prefecture in the East of China. Pooi To walked by the sea shore and met an old fisherman, and begged a fish from him. The fisherman refused, but after Pooi To had continued to worry him for some time, he picked up a very stale and putrifying fish, and threw it to him roughly. Pooi To took the fish, and held it up admiringly. Then he tossed it back into the sea, and the fish swam away. Pooi To went on to another fisherman, who had a net. He again begged to be given a fish, but he was told to go away. So Pooi To picked up two small stones and threw them into the net, and instantly two buffaloes appeared in the net, fighting with each other.\n\nThe Hong Kong Naturalist.\n\nPage 40\n\nPage 41", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-554-6 Hong Kong University- 1.

Soon the net was torn to pieces, and the buffaloes slipped out of the net and disappeared, and when the astonished fisherman turned round to Pooi To, he had disappeared too.\n\nThe\n\nAfter this Pooi To went to the capital city, and stayed in the house of a rich man named Ch'an, a native of Naam Chau. Later stories reached Chan that there was another Pooi To in the city. Chan and his four sons could not believe it, but as the people who told them persisted, Chan resolved to find out for himself. Leaving Pooi To in the house, he went with his sons into the town, and found, to his surprise, another monk exactly like Pooi To sitting there. Then Chan prepared a box of honey-ginger, which he gave to the new Pooi To, together with a knife to cut the ginger and a handkerchief dipped in fragrant water. The monk put the box on his lap, and started to eat the ginger, but however much he ate, the same amount remained in the box. So Chan decided that this man must indeed be Pooi To, and telling his two younger sons to remain with him, he went home again with the others. When they opened the door of their house they found Pooi To sitting there and on his lap was a box of honey ginger, a knife and a handkerchief dipped in fragrant water. He held out the knife to Chan, saying, \"This is not sharp enough to cut the ginger. Sharpen it.\" While Chan was doing this, the two younger sons returned home, and reported that they had followed the monk in the city to the monastery of Ling Tsau. Then Pooi To asked to be given two pieces of yellow paper, and he wrote some characters on the back of each. No one could understand the characters or even knew what language they were, and when Chan asked him what he was writing Pooi To gave no reply. He folded the papers together, and shortly afterwards disappeared.\n\n3\n\nAbout that time a certain official or minister named Chue Ling K'ei was on his way down from Korea to China in a small vessel. He met a typhoon and the boat was tossed about the sea for nine days and then driven on to the shore of an island. The island consisted of a steep mountain, and here Chue and his companions wandered about trying to find food and help. At last they came to a grass-cutter's path which they followed. After walking about ten miles they heard the sound of monastery bells and smelt the fragrance of burning joss sticks. Filled with hope they knelt and prayed to Buddha to bring them to safety. Then they came to a monastery, large and beautifully decorated, and saw ten or more priests outside, but coming nearer they found that they were made of stone. The travellers were amazed, and being afraid began to pray to be forgiven of their sins. In the distance they heard a voice shouting to them, and searching in the direction of the voice they came across another priest, but found he also was made of stone. Many times they heard voices calling them, but could find nothing but stone figures. Then they said to each other, \"Those are all Saints, we are unworthy wicked men, so how can we see them,\" and they knelt down and prayed very earnestly for forgiveness. When they had finished praying they looked up and saw a real priest coming towards them, who welcomed them kindly and brought them into the monastery.

When the meal was over, they asked the priest how to get to the capital city, who answered \"From here to the capital is more than 200,000 miles, but do not worry, make up your mind to go and you will reach there quickly.\" Then he asked Chue \"Do you know Pooi To?\" The minister answered \"Yes, I know him well.\" Then the priest pointed to the north wall and showed him a cloth sack, a tall Abbot's staff, and a priest's alms bowl hanging there. He said \"Those are Pooi To's things. I beg you to give him back this alms bowl when you see him, and this letter that I will give you. And here is a green bamboo stick, which when you get back to your boat, throw into the water in front of the boat and shut the windows of the boat and sit quietly. You need not trouble to row or sail, for you will arrive at the capital very speedily.\"\n\n1\n\nThey all said goodbye and a young priest took them to the monastery door and showed them a path to follow which would bring them back to their vessel quickly. Once more on board, they did what they had been told, and soon found to their amazement that the boat had left the water and was sailing over the tops of the trees. After three days of this novel means of travel, they reached the Waai river (淮河) and arrived at a place named 'Chue Tseuk' (朱雀) not far from the capital. Here they espied Pooi To riding along on a big horse, urging it along with a whip. Chue and his companions threw themselves down and began to worship Pooi To, who entered their boat, and they gave him the alms bowl and the letter. Now there were many people about, and when some of them saw the letter, they recognized it as that which Pooi To had written in Chan's house, for it was on two bits of yellow paper and only consisted of a few characters which were ugly and no-one could understand them. Pooi To held the alms bowl in his hand, and laughed. He said “Oh, they want me to go home and throw this bowl into the sky and catch it again. But I haven't seen the bowl for four thousand years!\"\n\nAnother version of this story recounts that when Chue reached the island, he met a priest carrying the alms bowl who said \"I was a pupil of Pooi To. Formerly I held this bowl, but I died in Ye Shing Monastery (冶城寺). Now I ask you to return this bowl to Pooi To for me. When you get to your boat, hold it in front of the boat and let one man hold the tiller, and you will reach the capital safely.\" And the minister did what he had been told, and reached Pooi To, as described before.\n\nPooi To must have returned to Chan's family by then because the story tells that on that day, he had left Chan's house early and did not return till dark. The following morning, Chan rose up early, and found that Pooi To had disappeared, but on his door, written in childish and uneducated characters, were the words \"Happiness family. The holy man will come and live there.\" After that, Pooi To never returned to Chan's family again, but he made several mysterious appearances and disappearances in the city, working miracles and curing sick people.\n\nThe Hong Kong Naturalist.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-554-6 Hong Kong University- 1.

Her body is in an old tomb on the river shore in Kam Shing.\" His words were proved to be true.\n\nAn officer of high rank named 'Hung Ning \"Tsz (JLT) was very ill with dysentery. No one could cure him, so Pooi To was consulted. The monk looked sad and said \"No, he cannot be cured. I have seen four ghosts all badly wounded.\" When the sick man heard this, he wept and said \"When 'Suen 'Yan () raised a rebellion, his family were scattered by the soldiers. His parents and an uncle were cruelly treated, and he himself died. Were these their ghosts?\" And soon after, he died.\n\nThe wife of a worthy man, Ts'ai Haai () was ill, and all hope of her recovery was given up. As the doctors appeared no good, Tsai Haai asked the priests to come and pray for her. They could not help. Then one of them said \"Why not ask Pooi To to come?\" When Pooi To arrived, he wandered into the room, looked at the woman, and said quietly \"Easy.\" Then he muttered to himself for a while, and gradually the woman was cured. Tsai Haai after that insisted on Pooi To staying with him in his house, and treated him with the greatest of respect.\n\nIn the ninth month of the third year of Yuen Ka () of Sung dynasty (A.D. 426), Pooi To went off to a lake in the East called Ch'ek 'Shaan Woo () where he became ill, and died.

He beckoned to Pooi To, who followed him, but before he left, Pooi To told the family that he had to go to 'Kaau Kwong () (now Kwangtung, Kwangsi, and Annam) and would never come back to them.

There is nothing recorded to give any indication of how long the monastery continued to exist, but it must have fallen into disuse by the reign of To 1Kwong () 1821-1850 of Ts'ing () dynasty because the Taoists built a monastery then on the site of the old one, and called it 'Ts'ing Wan\n\nJuly 1935.\n\n3\n\n45", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-554-6 Hong Kong University- 1.

About half-way up the path leading to the monastery there is a handsome gate that was erected in 1929. On the front of it are the characters 'Heung Hoi Ming 'Shaan (l) \"Hong Kong Sea famous Mountain\" which were put there by Sir Cecil Clementi. On the reverse side is written Wui T'au Shi Ngon (D) meaning, the shore is just behind you, i.e., you can mend your ways easily. This is a Buddhist saying and was written on the gate by Tit Shim () a famous abbot in Canton. The gate was erected by twenty Chinese benefactors, and their names are written on the left-hand side of the front of the gate.\n\n10\n\nThe monastery itself consists of several buildings, the Abbot's Lodge, the Pooi To pavilion, and a garden with an arbour called 'Hoi Yuet Ting (H) \"Sea Moon Arbour\" which was placed there for the delightful purpose of looking at the moonlight on the sea. The Fishes Tomb is an object of interest. The Buddhists who believe that no form of life should be taken are in the habit of buying fish from the fishermen and releasing them in the sea again. If, however, the fishes are dead, they bury them in this Tomb so that no one will eat them.\n\nJust above the buildings, there is a small cave with the remains of a whale's bones in it. This whale is supposed to have crushed the mountain in remote times, but there is more appearance of the whale having suffered than the mountain! Unfortunately, a lot of the bones have been taken away by unscrupulous visitors, and only one very worn vertebra and some ribs are left. Near this cave is the little shrine with Pooi To's figure in it.\n\nIf the path leading up to the summit of the mountain is followed, a little summer house with stone benches by it is found near the top. This is called \"Clementi Arbour,\" and was erected by a Chinese gentleman, who visited Castle Peak with Sir Cecil one day, and heard him remark that it would be a good plan to have a convenient resting place in that particular spot.

J. FINN, S.J.\n\nWhat has already been published by Professor Shellshear (24) and in the H.K.N. series of articles is enough to give an adequate idea of the prehistorical material found around Hong Kong in general and on Lamma in particular. The Naturalist series so far has kept within the Neolithic and Bronze Age aspects of the Lamma finds, because these are the prevailing features there and it was actually a long time before the presence of older types was noted. Professor Shellshear and Dr. Heanley had come to recognise the existence of such elements in their surface finds elsewhere and these were published in the Hanoi paper (24) p. 67, Plates VII, VIII (5, 6). In rounding off by this publication the important features of the Lamma finds, I wish to keep mostly to the Tai Wan and HSY material and to treat this peculiar \"epimiolithic\" evidence merely in an introductory fashion: it is of great importance and a proper discussion of it is hardly possible as yet and would in any case involve the illustration of other sites and material: I hope to describe later some other sites in quick survey and then the question will come up again. After this present part, we shall be concerned with Tai Wan mainly only by way of amplification or special detail.\n\nThe material to be described here does not admit of as much illustration by parallels from other sites outside the Hong Kong area as did the bulk of the things already treated above; it consists, first, of some objects whose use and even fabrication are obscure-they are perhaps fabricators themselves; secondly, of the types of polishing stones (briefly indicated, for the material is very rich and hard to publish); thirdly, of the \"epimioliths\" and finally of some implements very significant for the character of the Lamma culture (spindle-whorls and fish-hook).\n\nSTONE-WORKING IMPLEMENTS (POLISHERS)?\n\nThis is the type of thing illustrated in Plate 11. The specimens come from Tai Wan except for the piece E which seems obviously to be a piece in readiness to make an article of the type, Plate 11 D: this “blank\" comes from HSY (picked up loose). Material and finish (if one can so describe what seems rather to be smoothened surfaces consequent on use) suggest that these objects belong to the type of tools used by workers in stone, analogous to the saws (or files) published in H.K.N. VI, p. 59, Plate 6. The material of these as far we know them is softer than that of the saws: it is of the ash, shale or softer sandstone kind.\n\nThe first piece Plate 11, A was found at 27ins. resting on top of a short pestle-like stone: this latter kind of thing has turned up frequently on our sites here and seems to have been either a percussion implement or a whet-stone (usually the ends show signs of hammering, often with big fractures, but the sides sometimes seem polished): the collocation looks like that of tools such as we shall have to note below for other specimens. This piece is of a greyish-blue. The shape is roughly like that of the saws\n\nJuly 1935.\n\n47", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-554-6 Hong Kong University- 1.

The edge is not straight but very slightly convex and it finishes at either end in a blunt surface as if the movement that produced it suddenly changed at a right angle. The face shown in Plate 11, A gives us the typical feature of this whole group, the resemblance to a protoneolith in that the \"edge\" is the only section fully worked out: the other boundaries are left untrimmed or only roughly blocked out: the faces are not polished down to a smooth surface. This face is worked on three different cleavage planes, the deepest being that on which \"27\" is written, the second plane that to the right and the nearest is to be seen at the bottom of the figure: this last merges with the first at the line of the bevel.

This specimen was found along with the next piece and the sandstone polisher below G, a group of seven neolithic axes (some of them showing the most pronounced type of stepping that we have got, very good \"Philippine\" axes all of them but one showing at least some kind of faint stepping and four of them showing no signs of use), much pottery including two whole pots standing erect (one of them very like H.K.N. IV, Plate 15, No. 3 but larger and very similar to the An Yang piece (45) p. 58. Plate I: the other was like H.K.N. IV, Plate 15, No. 1 but had more marked splay of the sides cp. (5), Plate IV, Nos. 15, 19 (Han), a mouth less highly collared but with two pair of suspension holes, a dish-bottom making a sharp angle with the sides and which originally stood probably on a foot): the pottery was all of the quartz-corded type of real neolithic stuff (no \"Double-F\"): there were also two split but unworked pieces of stone, seemingly \"blanks\" for stone implements, though one may have been cut out with a saw from an older adze-tool. The seven axes were beautifully finished: they are the best we have got from Lamma for excellence of material and finish; hence the collocation would warn us against regarding the present specimens as protoncoliths the finding of the sandstone polisher or whet-stone and of the blanks point to this being a group of tools with some unused pieces. In this context, it is important to note the similarity of this find to the burial deposit in the undisturbed grave found by J. G. Andersson at Pien Chau Kou (Kansu; Yang Shao culture of the painted burial wares, probably about 2000 B.C.):- two greenstone axes, two grindstones of light red sandstone and twelve burial urns of which four unpainted (rougher) and eight painted (\"elegant, fine, pale brick-red ware\"). It is probable that the rougher wares contained meat and drink there were fragments of a stag's skull in one and all four were at the dead man's head. We may take it that the Lamma find was not a mortuary deposit for the usual character of the finds seems to point to actual habitation rather than to burial: however, even from this point of view, the P.C.K. deposit suggests an important point of view, viz:- burial deposits embrace the important elements in the culture of the people, the articles deemed most necessary at some stage (if not the actual present) of their development: the Lamma find containing the very same species of objects might therefore be taken as completely characteristic of the culture in its distinctive features (99), p. 274.

This whole find came from the region corresponding to the C-D of the excavation at about 50 ins. At a short distance to each side we found fragments of an old friend, a pot which figured in H.K.N. III, Plate 39, No. 28. (\"Double-F\" of a peculiar style) and of which we recovered scores of fragments in the later excavation of \"C-D.\" The levels at which these \"Double F\" fragments were found seem to reach their limit just about 60 ins. and mostly to lie rather about 40-50. \n\nThis implement is of a sandstone, slightly purplish in colour. Again, only the edge region is cleanly polished: the implement becomes thicker and rougher towards the back or grip region. \n\nThe third piece Plate 11 C, found with this last, is of a harder schist in which thicker red layers are separated by very fine layers of grey-blue-black mica: one face is just one such cleavage plane. The other has a marked lumpy projection along one of the shorter sides and a slighter ridge bounding the other. The edge is fan-shaped and the central part agrees fairly well with the curve of Plate 11 D. The edge does not lie in one plane but makes a sigmoid curve: it is produced by two bevels but gives the impression of being the result of a scraping action: it might be caused if the thing were a hand-whet-stone to be held in the left hand with the lumpy part well in the palm: sharpening a knife by strokes such as farmers make when sharpening a scythe would well explain the sigmoid line and the fading off of the bevels, one at the one extremity and the other at the opposite end. The material of the stone resembles somewhat the saws but has less quartz. \n\nIn general shape, this piece strangely resembles the \"scrapers\" or \"epimioliths\" published by Professor Shellshear (24) Plate VIII (6) or the piece from Lamma K. The straight edge is the result of a preliminary fracture along a cleavage plane: the concave side has been got by trimming down a fracture. \n\nNext come the two interesting pieces, one D from Tai Wan, the other, E from HSY, the latter obviously roughly prepared to be what the former has actually become: the notable difference being that the Tai Wan has a saw-cut back that is slightly convex, while the HSY piece has a concave back. The most interesting thing about these is that one knows so little about them. The shape resembles that of the \"Haches courtes\" of the Hwa-binhian, e.g. the large specimen reproduced after Mdlle. Colani in (25) figure 3: this Indo-China implement is of course much older, unlike in finish and material, but in size it is not much smaller our piece (143 x 189 mm.). Both Lamma specimens were picked up loose having previously been displaced by somebody digging. The more finished article is a very soft shale stone which has somewhat the feel and look of pig-skin leather, an impression reinforced by a varnish of tar-like oxidation which resembles the oxidation remarked on the rings (H.K.N. VI p. 51) and on the Aberdeen adze (H.K.N., IV, Plate XIX, 11).

The edge follows for the most part the line of a semi-circle whose centre lies well in on the face, but the curve is continued beyond in unconformity. The whole is a semi-circular segment extended irregularly beyond the diameter towards the back, i.e. presumably the grip part.\n\nIt is hard to conceive what the use of this implement could be: it is not well enough made to rank as a ceremonial weapon (axe)—its material is too soft for a knife or a scraper—the edge seems to indicate something other than a plate or palette—the form is hard to explain unless in some very regular, mechanical movement that would seem to go beyond the aptitude of the mere hand.\n\nバ\n\nE\n\n5. cms.\n\nE.

His piece is very close indeed to the hache courte of the Hwabinhian. All that we can say is that both these Lamma specimens seem to belong to the same culture as that which made the polished spear and arrow-heads. They seem also to go with the other objects described above in the present part. But Mr. Schofield's find makes a very remarkable link with the mesolithic of Tongking and N.

One face shows an old patina, while the other seems to be a more recent cleavage from the parent block. The straight edge (hypoteneuse) has a narrow flat ribbon in place of a working edge and suggests that a beginning of use as a saw had been made. strange similarity with a completely flaked instrument again presents itself here (33) Plate XIV, 8 is a chert knife from Rubetsu on Yeterofu, one of the Kurile Islands: its shape is almost precisely that of our piece and it is only 15 mm. shorter and about 5-9 mm. narrower : our piece is certainly not a knife in its present state, it has no point and no edge-possibly we have an older shape transferred to another use when stone had yielded to the metals as the material of knives and the stone came to survive in the saw and sharpener type of tool. It may be well to note that Lamma has given us clear cases of a pot with loop-handles inside the neck, a style that is found in these same Kurile Islands, in Kamchatka and in North Japan (33) Plate XV and text.\n\nAgain, Dr. Andersson (99) pp. 207-209 provides an extraordinarily satisfactory parallel. He identifies a similar stone \"knife\" from An Yang (Chinese historical c. 1200 B.C.) functionally with iron scythes used in N. China (Anhui Kalgan). This parallel leads me to see in our piece F the \"makings\" of a scythe, for such an explanation suggested by actual modern types gives a very satisfactory reconciliation of the flaked stone from the Kuriles with the polished stone from An Yang and the unfinished Lamma piece an agricultural implement is more likely to retain an old form amid the changes of technique and material than is a weapon or a knife.\n\nIn conclusion, it would seem that this group of tools offers a link between the flaked type and the polished implement that already was in contact with bronze: here the old weapon-form has sunk down to a subsidiary workshop-form.\n\nPOLISHERS AND SHARPENERS.\n\nIn this section, there is space here only for the merest indication. The unifying factors are the material (most usually, sandstone), the surfaces (smooth, concave, often glistening), the shapes (either broad and flattish, like modern fixed whet-stones of the Chinese knife-sharpener or tool-maker or else multiple faces on a longish cucumber-shaped stone), sometimes there are the grooves that prove the use as a sharpener.

Small pieces however seem to be used on all convenient surfaces. A peculiarity of all is the development of very narrow filets of polished surface between the wider faces. This specimen has one face hollowed in the typical manner, a second face that must have been used for some chisel-like tool, a third that has a deep groove in a surface also used for whetting: the fourth face has only the beginning of a groove. In addition there are two thin filets on the angles between the faces and they seem to have been made by a sharpening action at right angles to the long axis, as if the stone was held in the hand and then rubbed over an object with a side-to-side movement of the hand.

On the Lamma sites, at Aberdeen, Stanley and one other site, I have found them in the ground where the rougher corded ware was plentiful or characteristically present.\n\nIt must here be noted that “Double-F” is rare outside Lamma. Aberdeen yielded one piece of an older type of the D--F. ware with some fragments of another ware that is found typically at HSY: Stanley only one small fragment of a ware cognate to the \"Double-F.\" In one case below, figure I, the \"epimiolith\" was found with a neatly packed group of half a dozen clam shells and a piece of deer-antler and all amid a group of pottery, the objects seemingly having been originally inside a black pot of the gritty quartz-tempered corded type. This find was made before the excavations of 1933.\n\nHowever, every place which has yielded these implements has also given rough types of pottery, usually the black and the red corded wares showing much quartz in the paste. This is especially true of a Stanley site where on a low hill well out of reach of any wave disturbance a thin layer of humus, about one foot deep over the natural mantle of de-composed rock, still contains this type of pottery while, lower down at the base of the hill, evidently weathered out and carried down by erosion in typical fresh water gravel, some very good \"epimioliths\" were found.

It comes from Tai Wan, from a section not counted in the 1933 excavation. It is from a kind of pocket amid rocks to the east of the clump of vegetation and the (sacred) tree which stands on the rocky knoll. The ground there is no longer the pure sliding sands of the main site but beneath the humus is lightly cemented together with minerals brought down by moisture from the upper layers. The sandy mass is about five feet deep over the rocks in this, one day when I visited the site with Mr. Schofield and Drs. Brock and Lees the geologists, I found by my own digging a most interesting collection of objects. These may be set forth here quickly, for the whole group is in the nature of a test case on which we have fortunately some of the best judgments that the scientific world may give on certain points. The section was about five feet wide with a face standing firm and clean about six feet measured down from the surface: at about five feet heavy boulders began: above that it was a sand concreted slightly with lime: the levels here as distinct from the rest of the Tai Wan site admit of much wash-down from the background.\n\nFound \"Double-F\" pottery at 40 ins. as described in H.K.N. III, p. 245. Related ware of I.d. ii type at 49 ins. (cp. ib. pp. 232, 245). The \"Chou\" type of ware (white rough developed from corded ware with bronze influence on pattern), illustrated in H.K.N. IV, Plate XIV, No. 6, p. 64: this was at about 50 ins. At the same level and quite close, four pieces of bronze of uncertain use, very corroded so that they were cracked as if made of perished leather: Mr. Simpson suggests that one piece with a curved point (like the nail-extractor on the old-fashioned Sheffield combination pocket-knives or, the Chinese so-called \"knot-openers\") may be a tool for trimming a clay mould before casting bronze: two pieces might possibly be bits of a runner from a mould: the other two are of about the thickness of an ordinary pencil but almost square in section: one surface is very flat being probably the top level of the liquid metal: they seem originally to have made one stick about 80 mm. in length of which the curved tip comes to a scraping edge. Close by these was a bronze coin of the usual cash type, obviously of an old date: it is so worn that it is not worth reproducing: the British Museum Coin Room to whom it was submitted gave as their opinion of its date:-\"PROBABLY c. I CENTURY A.D.\" The coin was not contained in any object and thus we have the alternative of dating the rest by the contiguity of the coin (later than the coin?) or else of regarding the coin as a later intruder: the second solution is suggested by quite modern coins which here and there were found well below the surface in other parts of the site. Further, close to the bronzes were two pottery \"beads\" or, more probably, spindle whorls these are of rough pottery with a vague design of small holes arranged in horizontal zones: one end (polar) of each specimen has been cut into, in one case seemingly by a regular curved object.

Thus the original implement must have been more like figure N from HSY and probably had a rounded hand-grip surface covered with the natural skin of the pebble, one flat surface (probably at the back) and a more pronounced trihedral angle below with the ridge more central than now. It was Professor Henri Breuil who pointed out to me the difference of patina and the reworking: that authority is decisive. He regarded the patina on the typical specimen for our local coup-de-poing (faust-keil) or cleaver or scraper \"epimiolith\" as incontrovertible proof that they are considerably older than the local neolithic stone-axes from the same sites: this specimen then must be older still. The logical inference is that there is no ground for any generalized argument for dating by reason of the find-spot on such sites as these where we find \"epimioliths\" and polished axes, pottery of various types and even bronzes at the same levels without any possibility of discriminating times of deposition.\n\nX\n\nK\n\n373%. \n\nX\n\nX\n\n5.cms.\n\nK. \"Epimiolith\" showing three stages of patination.

The prefix \"epi-\" has been used by certain modern scholars, notably Menghin (30) pp. 84-5. to denote that a culture of the type indicated by the word used after \"epi-\" is in that particular case surviving into a period later by one than its own proper time: thus \"epiprotolithic\" would mean some culture whose forms were that of the Early Stone Age lasting on into the Mesolithic should the survival be drawn out longer Menghin would use the form \"opsiprotolithic\". Though our case is still sub judice, I use the word \"epimiolith\" to describe these objects. which must now be regarded as much older than neolithic: this is the name that Menghin would give to the Bacsonian of Indo-China and to the Asturian of Spain actually one type that I have got in several specimens is very like the Asturian hand-axes (coup-de-poings: there used for opening sea-shells)\n\nJuly 1935.\n\n58", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-554-6 Hong Kong University- 1.

The make of these pieces suggests that they were used for opening shells, as the point showing signs of use has above it an edge like that of a scraper which would serve admirably for prizing open the shells.\n\nThe two\n\nThe figures best explain the shape of these specimens, but the most shapely piece, in fact the first that really convinced me of its artifact nature, is that in figure N. It is from 27 ins. deep at HSY from an area which gave us many polished stone axes at similar and greater depths. It is a sub-tetrahedral form with a marked rostral tendency, one face being obviously the back and flaked to a higher level with a slight general concavity. This is typical of all our pieces though otherwise varying: the back is very flat, sometimes as a naturally weathered surface, sometimes flaked, sometimes at cleavage face (figure 1). The hand-grip is the natural skin or weathered end of a big pebble: this makes a platform usually sloping on top. front-faces meet in a marked angle (see figure L and compare carefully figure K). Figure I here retains most of the original stone and is flaked only on one edge but the ridge is represented by the natural rounded angle of the stone. The flaking is in broad strokes: the finer dressing is very clumsy (a sign of late date). The point is usually trihedral, sometimes tetrahedral; the trihedral point has been noted as typical of the very early Chalossian and has also been found in South Africa in the Victoria West culture. Judging by Menghin's description of certain implements (30) p. 117 in this latter, they must be very like the type of our figures N, O:-crooked point-thick end with vigorous flaking-trihedral point-flat back-resemblance to \"rostro-carinates\". There is apparently some doubt about these Victoria-West pieces as to whether they are artifacts: there can be no doubt about such a piece as figure N. A related culture in South Africa, that of Stellenbosch, has \"faustkeil\" with one side carefully flaked to an edge: we cannot say that ours are carefully done, but they certainly have the \"faustkeil\"\n\nThe Hong Kong Naturalist.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-554-6 Hong Kong University- 1.

The parent birds were very wild remaining among the topmost branches while the nest was being examined. As we did not know what they were then two of the young birds were taken.\n\nThe young is entirely different from the adult being almost all brown with the exception of the breast which is more or less of a dirty white, the young male having a dark streak extending along the breast-bone. The neck is scarcely perceptible although the bird was fully fledged. The neck was also bare of feathers making it resemble a vulture when the neck was extended during feeding. They were fed with various insects and scraps of raw meat and thrived.\n\nWhile yet unable to pick up food from the cup the birds were adepts at catching flies on the wing.\n\nAt about 5 weeks old and without any previous indications the brown head feathers were discarded and next morning I was surprised to see the whole crown covered with a dark bluish-black coat. The head feathers grew longer day by day and developed into an occipital crest in the male.\n\nThere is also a slight semblance of a beard when the bird is alarmed or angered. After this they commenced to discard the whitish feathers of the breast and within a fortnight had there an ashy-grey coat, the grey in the case of the male being prominently darker. During this interval the tail had grown as long as the body. The male bird tries very hard to sing and produces queer, confused, hollow sounds.\n\nWhen the locality was next visited the two remaining birds had flown. I collected the nest which is cup-shaped and composed of rootlets, grasses and twigs. The outside was carefully wrapped with strips of bark, not unlike rough hemp, and pasted with mosses and bits of decayed leaves.\n\nR. A.

The wild geese lead the northward migration in March. From that time on it is one continuous stream of migration until well along into May.\n\nIt has actually never been definitely determined just what species of the shore birds nest in southern China. In 1931 we definitely located the Eastern Oystercatcher nesting on the small islands, again this year we have located numerous nests. As late as May 12th., there were both Golden Plover and Turnstone still to be found on Haitang Island. The Greenshank too, was to be seen in considerable numbers. There were many others of the shorebirds not supposed to nest in southern China. Eastern Pratincole began nesting about May 10th. Painted Snipe nest upon the grassy lowlands of Haitang Island about the same time.\n\nWe had long heard of fishermen taking eggs by the basketfull from some of the outlying islands. It has long been our desire to check up on this thing in order to ascertain just what species nest in such numbers.\n\nOf course it was evident terns were likely the greatest sufferers at the hands of these professional poachers upon their nesting grounds. May 9th., was a little early for terns to be nesting, but this seemed the only opportunity to visit these islands, so we planned to spend a day with notebook and fieldglasses upon what seemed to be a promising island. La Touche had reported years ago of one egg of what seemed to him to be of the Bridled Tern that was brought to him from one of the islands. We desired to make a survey in person of promising nesting grounds.\n\nThe islands visited lay six miles or so from shore east of Haitang and in the general region of the Turnabout Lighthouse. Not until we came within a couple of miles of the islands did we see any birds. As we approached nearer the island both Bridled and Black-naped Terns began to be seen in ever increasing numbers. On the outer island of the group we found terns of the two mentioned species in vast numbers. A survey of the island disclosed the following species. As this island was small we feel confident we noted every bird found upon it. Besides the two species of terns mentioned which were very abundant we noted the following species in the order listed. Eastern Reef Heron (Demiegretta sacra) were first noticed flying from one island to the other. There were four pair of these birds.\n\nAt least twenty pair of Yellow-nib Duck (Anas poecilorhyncha zonorhyncha) were on the island. One nest of this species was located. It was a bit too early to catch these duck busy in their domestic affairs. Red-bellied Rock Thrush (Monticola p. philippensis) were seen nesting in crevices. There were three pairs of this thrush. One Malay House Swift seemed to be greatly disturbed at our presence; also one Eastern House Swallow swerved about feeding with little concern. There was a single male White-faced Wagtail which at this season of the year very likely had a mate tucked away in some crack or cranny. One pair of Spotted Sandpiper (Tringa hypoleucos) seemed very much at home. The surprise of the day was to find both the Crested Myna (Aethiopsar c. cristatellus) and the Formosan Tree Sparrow (Passer montanus taivanensis) present in considerable numbers and evidently nesting in perfect contentment on this bleak island far from the haunts of man.\n\nJuly 1935.\n\n80", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-554-6 Hong Kong University- 1.

Two pairs of Black-napped Tern were found on an island one mile off the eastern tip of Haitang.\n\nFour pairs of Oystercatcher were found nesting on three smaller islands only a few hundred yards off shore.\n\nUntil some ornithologist finds time and opportunity to spend considerable time among the islands off the southern China coast, it is going to be impossible to determine with any degree of certainty what birds do nest in this region. We have seen both Shearwater and Petrel over Haitang waters in May. On the fourth of May, we saw flocks of Mallard (Anas p. platyrhyncha) in the waters along the Futsing coast. This certainly is after duck of this species are supposed to have followed the teal, pintail, etc., on the northward migration.\n\nHARRY R.

Imagine my surprise when, on examining the contents, I found that of the three young birds, two were Rufous-backed and the third Dusky. Scarcely believing my eyes, I had another good look at the parents, which were but a few yards away protesting loudly against the intrusion, but they were both without doubt typical Lanius s. schach. With the object of being doubly sure, I retreated and waited for a couple of hours, and during this interval, both birds were observed to descend to the nest to tend the young.\n\nThe three young birds were taken home and brought to the University, where they were examined by Dr. G. A. C. Herklots and proved to be, as stated, one Dusky, two Rufous-backed.\n\nAccording to La Touche, the Dusky Shrike (Lanius fuscatus) and the Rufous-backed Shrike (Lanius s. schach) are separate species, and I was, until the last find, of the same opinion.

A. P. \n\nLa Touche in a \"Handbook of the Birds of Eastern China\" p. 186 makes this significant remark. \"However, until specimens of L. schach and L. fuscatus are taken from the same nest, the question must remain unsolved.\" In his Corrigenda and Addenda on p. 481, he writes of L. fuscatus \"It is most probable that, as pointed out by Dr. Stresemann, this Shrike is a melanistic form of L. schach.” \n\nWe have not seen Dr. Stresemann's paper on the question and therefore are unacquainted with his evidence. If melanism in L. schach behaves as a simple recessive then if a Rufous bird RR, mated with a Dusky bird rr, the first hybrid generation Rr, would all be Rufous. If two such hybrids mated then on the average in every four chicks one would be RR, two Rr and one rr, i.e., one pure Rufous, two hybrid Rufous and one Dusky. It appears that in the case found by Mr. R. A. Pereira both parents were Rr and therefore one in every four of the chicks would be Dusky; one Dusky and two Rufous chicks in the family of three supports this view. \n\nMajor Hutson's note on these birds H.K.N. II, p. 221, is worth quoting. \"On June 17, 1931, two adult shrikes, one normal and one dusky, were seen together with a couple of youngsters both of which looked normal; on July 13, two young shrikes, one normal and one dusky were seen together with one adult which was normal. If the view of melanism behaving as a simple recessive is correct then in the first of Major Hutson's examples the parents were probably RR and rr and the youngsters Rr, alternatively the parents may have been Rr and rr and the youngsters Rr but in this case one of the two youngsters by the laws of chance should have been rr and therefore dusky. In the second of Major Hutson's examples the adult seen must have been Rr for in no case with an RR parent is it possible to have one rufous and one dusky offspring, the other parent may have been either Rr or rr as in either case the two youngsters, one rufous and one dusky, could have been obtained. If the other parent was Rr then the rufous youngster could have been either RR or Rr; if the other parent was rr then the rufous youngster must have been Rr.—Ed. \n\nNESTING NOTES. \n\nViolet Whistling Thrush, Myophonus c. coeruleus (Scop.) A nest was discovered in a rather unusual situation on June 8. It was situated in a hole in a bank—the half-dome shaped hole left by an old wasps' nest. The bank formed one side of a deep cutting above Tai Hang, and the nest was twelve feet from the bottom of the bank and about three feet from the top of the cutting, which, however, had a slight overhang, and thus gave ample protection and cover. In fact, had the sitting bird not flown out at my approach, leading to a search for the probable nest, it would not have been discovered. \n\nJuly 1935.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-554-6 Hong Kong University- 1.

It is worth noting that the eggs were pale buff coloured spotted with reddish-brown towards the larger end, which seems to be the normal form, though there is a great variation remarked upon by all observers. In the Hong Kong Naturalist, No. 1 of Vol. IV, plate No. 2 shows a Violet Whistling Thrush's egg which has a plain ground colour of creamy-brown and no markings whatever. In an earlier issue of the H.K. Naturalist, No. 1 of Vol. II, Major Hutson stated:-\"The ground colour may be reddish stone or pale green, and is speckled and blotched with reddish brown. One clutch examined was a very pale stone or buff colour and free from any marking.\" Again, Caldwell's \"South China Birds\" has the following note:-\"The eggs vary greatly in colour from pale greenish almost entirely unmarked, to yellowish-green or pale brownish, minutely spotted with reddish, the markings being so thick as to appear almost as a smear over the entire egg, often forming a wreath around the larger end.\"\n\nIt was not possible to visit the nest except at weekly intervals: and on the following Saturday, June 15, it was found that three nestlings had hatched. They were some four or five days old. A week later, on June 22, the nest was empty. A careful scrutiny of the spot failed to reveal any signs of a human raid, nor was it likely that any other form of enemy had discovered the nest or been able to reach it. The conclusion is that the nestlings had grown sufficiently to leave the nest for the shelter of a dense copse nearby, where they would gradually attain full strength and maturity. Presuming they had left the nest that day or the day before, this gives them at the most about eleven or twelve days from hatching to becoming full fledged: perhaps other observers can state whether such rapid development is likely or usual.\n\nV.

January on the whole was dull and humid; there were nine completely sunless days, and the total sunshine for the month was 39 hours less than normal. Although the month was abnormally cloudy, there was very little rainfall. February opened with a spell of wet weather, rain or drizzle falling every day until the 11th; on the 12th the weather cleared up, and no rain was recorded during the remainder of the month. The 12th to the 17th were days of almost unbroken sunshine. March came in and went out with cloudy, damp spells, while ten days in the middle of the month were warm and sunny.\n\nThe first half of April was cloudy, wet, and often foggy. Towards the end of the month the weather improved, and continued mainly fair until the middle of May; we were lucky to have a sunny spell for the Jubilee celebrations, more than 10 hours of sunshine being recorded on each day from the 6th to the 9th. In the latter half of May and the whole of June the weather was normal for the time of year—mainly cloudy and showery, with occasional sunny days. Up to the end of June the total rainfall for the year was still 10 inches short of the normal; every month except March had been deficient in rain.\n\nAt the time of writing (July) we are in the midst of the rainy season; sometimes in a tropical downpour it seems little short of miraculous that such deluges of water can be produced out of empty air, and some notes on the formation of rain may be of interest at this time of year.\n\nAs any school geography book tells us, rain is caused by the raising and consequent cooling of damp air; but the books are necessarily a little vague when they come to deal with the actual physical processes which go on inside a rain-cloud, for these are difficult to observe and are not yet fully understood.\n\nAir can contain a limited quantity of invisible water-vapour; when this limit is reached, the air is said to be saturated, and its relative humidity is then 100%. The amount of water-vapour needed to saturate a sample of air increases with the temperature of the latter. Consequently, if damp air is cooled, a temperature will eventually be reached at which it becomes saturated with water-vapour; any further cooling must result in some of the water-vapour condensing in the form of visible droplets, which we see as a mist or cloud.\n\nThe Hong Kong Naturalist.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-554-6 Hong Kong University- 1.

A damp wind may be forced up a hillside, and form a cloud over the top; this is the reason for the heavy mass of Cumulus cloud which so often lies on the Peak during the SW monsoon. Again, air may rise vertically owing to convection currents over heated ground; this mode of cloud formation is illustrated by the isolated Cumulus or \"Woolpack\" clouds of a warm summer afternoon in England; each cloud marks the summit of a rising column of air. Thirdly, a whole layer of air may be forced up the sloping surface of a wedge of denser air lying beneath it, in which case a uniform layer of Stratus cloud may form.\n\nIf the process of cooling and condensation proceeds far enough, the minute droplets forming the cloud grow in size as more water is added to them. It is probable that they collide with each other and coalesce, and eventually they become sufficiently large to fall out of the cloud as rain. At first sight it may seem strange that a cloud remains floating in the sky while a shower of rain falls to the earth; both consist of water drops, so why should not the cloud fall as well as the rain? To explain why a cloud remains floating, we must examine the forces acting on a body falling through a resisting medium such as the air. When a body falls through air, it will continue to accelerate until the force of gravity is exactly balanced by the air resistance, and thereafter will fall at a constant speed known as its \"terminal velocity\". Now for objects of the same density, the air resistance depends on the surface area of the body, and so increases as the square of the linear dimensions, while the weight increases as the cube of the linear dimensions; consequently a large body must attain a much higher terminal velocity than a small one before its weight is balanced by the air resistance. A man, for instance, falling through air attains a terminal velocity of about 100 miles per hour—however high the aeroplane may be when you fall out of it, you cannot hit the ground at a greater speed than this; if that is any comfort! A large raindrop may have a diameter of 0.2 inch, and its terminal velocity is about 18 m.p.h. The minute droplets which form a cloud may have diameters as small as 0.001 inch, and a terminal velocity of only 150 feet per hour.\n\nEven if a cloud were not buoyed up by rising air-currents, its descent at this slow rate would be imperceptible from the ground.\n\nMore water-vapour is needed to saturate warm air than cold, and the amount of water-vapour which may be contained by the heated air of the Tropics is colossal. For example, the air over the Colony, covering an area of about 350 square miles, can hold when saturated about 50 million tons of water-vapour, if we take the temperature at ground level as 85° F. No wonder it rains hard in summer. If all this water-vapour were condensed and precipitated as rain, the fall would amount to about 3 inches; it is evident that to produce the tremendous falls of 20 inches or more in 24 hours, which have sometimes been recorded here, the damp air over the Colony must be renewed many times over.\n\nIn winter the air over Hong Kong, even if saturated, can contain a mere 20 million tons of water-vapour; as a rule it is very far from being saturated throughout its height at this time of year, and the precipitation which falls from it can in truth be described as \"the gentle rain from heaven\".\n\nJuly 1935.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-554-6 Hong Kong University- 1.

Pages 1-117 with 43 figures in the text, prepared mostly from photographs of lilies in flower. Price, five shillings paper, six shillings cloth.\n\nThe third annual \"Lily Year-Book\" for 1934 is as interesting and instructive as its two predecessors. Two articles deal with lilies in their natural environment, in Tibet by Capt. F. Kingdon Ward and in the Pontic region by E. K. Balls; in addition there are articles on \"Lilies in Kenya\" by J. L. Gifford, \"Californian Lilies in Cultivation\" by Dr. A. M. Vollmer and \"Diseases of Lilium longiflorum in Bermuda\" by L. Ogilvie. This serves to show how all-embracing is the geographic field covered by the \"Lily Year Book\". In order to understand fully how best to grow lilies it is necessary to know as much as possible about their natural habitat, the type of plants they are associated with, the character of the soil and the climate; the first two articles give us certain of these basic facts. Secondly it is desirable to know how lilies grow in cultivation not only in England but in other countries and the next two articles give us facts in this connection.\n\nOther writers deal with problems of propagation, of the arrangement and structure of the chromosomes in the reproductive cells, of diseases in stored bulbs and in growing plants, of hybrids and of the cultivation of lilies in gardens and woodlands. Certainly this volume should be in the possession of all who are in any manner interested in the study or culture of lilies.\n\nG. A. C.

In any case he would only come for one year, though if the political situation were easier, he might at the end of that time be induced to stay. The salary, as Dr. Hu Shih admitted, is a great temptation, so it will be a bad blow for us if our offer is turned down, for it will suggest to me at least that cultural relations with Hong Kong University are not altogether safe or desirable from the point of view of a scholar in China. Individually of course one can make very good and very pleasant contacts but officially Hong Kong seems to be cold-shouldered. Hu Shih's visit to us and his acceptance of the LL.D. I thought had put an end to this but now I am not so sure.\n\nHong Kong is an excellent place for Generals like Chan Chai Tong who wish to have a safe deposit for the great profits they make. I am told he owns a considerable amount of property in D'Avouex Road, one of the main streets, but apart from that there is more evidence of a desire to crush Hong Kong economically than to preserve it.

Schofield at the Central Court.\n\nMr. Peter H. Sin appeared for the alleged fugitives while Mr. D. L. Strellet, of Messrs. G. K. Hall Brutton and Co., appeared for the prosecution.\n\nThe four fugitives who appeared before Mr. Schofield on Friday were Yu Lap-fai, Chan Chi-ping, Wu Tai-hoi and Cheung Chi-hon.\n\nIt will be recalled that the plotters formed a news-agency knowing that newspaper men were allowed to come into close contact with the officials for the purpose of taking pictures. This news-agency was called \"Kwong News Agency\" and under the guise of being a newspaper man, Suen Fung-ming, the actual assassin, with the help of a camera was thus able to get very close to the officials.\n\nAddressing His Worship, Mr. Sin, in submitting that he had no case to answer, said that the charge against the four alleged fugitives was that of a conspiracy to murder Mr. Wang Ching-wei. His Worship had heard numerous witnesses and he submitted that if any evidence was to go it was that of Wong Yan-san. He also submitted that as far as the testimonies of the other witnesses were concerned, they were fraught with no material evidence against the alleged fugitives.\n\nUpon reviewing Wong Yan-san's evidence, he had given remarkable details in all particulars and such testimony was too good to be true. He was the only witness who had alleged that the four fugitives had conversation with a mysterious person named Wong Ah-chui, whom he alleged to be the prime-mover in the plot to murder Marshal Chiang Kai-shek.\n\nMr. Sin's submission was that Wong Yan-san was in fact and in law an accomplice and if the whole of his evidence was to be believed then it was only the evidence of an accomplice against the four alleged fugitives. The Court, said Mr. Sin, exercises great care where an accomplice gives evidence. Counsel did not mean to say that the evidence of an accomplice was not admissible in law, but he submitted that the practice has almost become law that an accomplice's evidence requires corroboration.\n\nMr. Sin then quoted cases and submitted that he had never found a case yet where a Magistrate has committed on the uncorroborated evidence of an accomplice. He was a very clever young man, very evasive and very elusive, said Mr. Sin. He calls Wong Ah-chui the \"King of all murderers\" and yet at the young age of 19 he moves with that sort of man. What sort of a man was Wong Yan-san? He had admitted under cross-examination that he had assisted Wong Ah-chui in the murder and that he was one of the conspirators. He had helped most actively in the plot, asserted counsel, in that (1) he was seeing Wong Ah-chui all the time, (2) he loaned his house for the meetings of the conspirators and (3) he went to Shanghai to accompany the wife of Suen (the actual murderer) and for that reason was paid by Wah Hak-chee, who witness had said was one of the prime-movers of the conspiracy.\n\nIt was the submission of Mr. Sin that Wong Yan-san had not come down to Hong Kong voluntarily and was not, in counsel's opinion, questioned. It was the submission of Mr. Sin that Wong Yan-san had come down to tell his story and get some sort of a reward and to clear himself out of his trouble. And that he accordingly would ask His Worship to discharge the defendants.\n\n### CORROBORATIVE EVIDENCE \n\nMr. Strellett in reply said that the evidence of Wong Yan-san was that on which the prosecution undoubtedly relied and assuming that he was an accomplice, the first proposition that Mr. Sin put was that Magistrates do not convict on the uncorroborated evidence of an accomplice and said that there were no cases wherein he had found such proceedings. If that was the case then where did the cases which Mr. Sin quoted come from? It was this that Mr. Sin had seen many cases where the Magistrate had committed on the evidence of an accomplice but has he not recognised them.\n\nOne thing was the evidence of an accomplice was evidence in law and is evidence upon which a jury can convict. Another thing was that the old saying of judges in that if there were no corroborative evidence of an accomplice then the jury were told not to convict had been altered in that now the judge can only warn the jury on the danger of convicting on such evidence.\n\nWhen one starts on corroboration then one must corroborate the offence as well as connect the criminals with the offence. As far as the Magistrate was concerned, he need not worry about corroboration. All that the Magistrate had to judge was that whether there was some evidence upon which a jury might convict. Unless, therefore, His Worship was prepared to say that there was no evidence upon which a jury might convict then, Mr. Strellett suggested that what Mr. Sin had said about corroboration did not apply to the present case.\n\nUnless, concluded Mr. Strellett, Mr. Schofield was satisfied that the witness was an absolute liar, then his evidence does not need corroboration and that a prima facie case had been established.\n\nThe case was then adjourned until Wednesday, 13th.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-559-5 Attempted assassination of Wong Ching-wei- proposed extradition of alleged accomplice 17-3-1936 - 15-5-1936.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 554099, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-561-7 Hong Kong University 4-1-1937 - 22-9-1937", "page_number": 142, "title": "CO129-561-7 Hong Kong University 4-1-1937 - 22-9-1937", "content_text": "# 140 \n\n1 \n\n## Report on the University\n\nMr. Ma Kiam came to us from Yenching University where he was Professor of Chinese. Mr. Ma Kiam's reputation as a scholar and teacher stood high in Peiping.\n\nThe Chinese of Hong Kong and Malaya have contributed generously to the Department of Chinese, and the University now has three first-class scholars and teachers in its service, offering carefully considered courses in Chinese language and literature, history, and philosophy, with English being an essential part in each course. Classes in Mandarin are also held.\n\nThis last development is an important step, for it is becoming more and more evident that graduates who have no Mandarin are left behind in the race for appointments—especially official appointments in China. The facilities are there; the University cannot be blamed if students do not come to profit by them.\n\nMr. Archbutt went on leave last April. As Treasurer for nearly three years, Mr. Archbutt rendered the University service which it can repay with nothing but gratitude. On Mr. Archbutt's departure, Mr. Morse agreed to take up the Treasurer's work. He too has done, and is doing, the University service of inestimable value. Before such unselfish public spirit, I bow my head in gratitude. Perhaps Mr. Archbutt and Mr. Morse have come to the same conclusion as Job—\"that in all labour there is profit\".\n\nOn the 15th July, Lady Caldwell opened the Eu Tong Sen Gymnasium. This was Lady Caldwell's first visit to the University. The Gymnasium has already been a great boon and its value will increase. There are, in the University, both young men and young women who do not play games and who are dangerously neglecting their physical development.\n\nThe gymnasium will be open every weekday afternoon after lecture hours, and an instructor will be there. The University has one recreation field and one only, and on this field athletic sports are held, and cricket, football, hockey, and tennis are played. The provision is scandalously inadequate, and this makes the University all the more beholden to Mr. Eu Tong Sen for his Gymnasium, and to Mr. Sum Pak-ming, who recently gave us a basketball court—it is the first basketball court that the students have ever had. In the Eu Tong Sen Gymnasium, there is also the finest covered basketball court and badminton court in the Colony.\n\nMention has already been made of the visit which the University's Professor of Physiology, Dr. Ride, made in 1931 and 1932 to Borneo in connection with his genetic researches. In 1933, the University granted Professor Ride study leave, and the Rockefeller Foundation asked him to tour America and to report on the present study of genetics and heredity, with special reference to their application to problems of human physiology and pathology. The thesis which Professor Ride wrote has been accepted by the University of Oxford, and, in the language of that ancient institution, he may now supplicate for the University's degree of Doctor of Medicine.\n\nIn 1927, there were 292 students on the University's roll. On the enrolment on 21st October 1936, there were 412—139 in the Faculty of Medicine, 133 in the Faculty of Engineering, and 140 in the Faculty of Arts. Three hundred and forty-eight of these students were Chinese.\n\nIn 1921, there was one woman undergraduate; today, there are 76. I have once again to pay to the students my grateful tribute for their loyalty, their discipline, and for the good fellowship which prevails not only among themselves but between them and their teachers. The cynical might learn much from a visit to the night school, which is conducted by the students.\n\nIn the Boxer Indemnity Scholarship Examination held early last year, two of our graduates appeared, and each won a scholarship. Miss Lai Po-kan came first in a competitive examination in Chinese and English Philology, and she is now reading at Oxford for the honours school of English language and literature. Forty-five candidates sat for the scholarship examination. The other winner was Dr. Woo Kai-fun; his subject being pathology. He is now working in London. The Boxer Scholarship Examination was first held in 1934. Our record is four competitors and four winners.\n\nDr. H. C. Ku, who won a Boxer Scholarship in 1934, has been elected a Fellow of the Edinburgh Royal College of Surgeons. Dr. Lee Hah Liong and Dr. Lim Gim Kheang (medical graduates of ours) have gained respectively the London Diploma in Child Health and the London Diploma of Tropical Medicine and Health. Miss Irene Ho Tung has secured the London University Doctorate in Philosophy. Mr. Donald Anderson now holds the London University degree of Bachelor of Laws. Mr. S. B. Ahmed and Mr. Eric Wong Tape have both qualified to be Associate members of the Institute of Civil Engineers, the former being the top of the list of those who were successful at the examination qualifying for membership. Mr. Gan Kee-poon has been awarded the Diploma of the Imperial College, London. Mr. W. J. C. Fletcher has won the Parsons Memorial Prize—a prize awarded to the best apprentice by Messrs. C. A. Parsons and Co. Ltd., Newcastle-on-Tyne, whose works Mr. Fletcher is working in as an apprentice. Six of our engineering graduates have been recently engaged by the Government of China for survey work on the Canton Mui Tsian Railway. They are now working on the survey.\n\nIn January 1936, the University heard from the Executive Yuan of the Government of China that graduates of the University of Hong Kong were eligible to appear at the Higher Civil Service Examinations. Mr. Sung Hang-chee (one of our graduates) has since passed the Examination with 2nd Class Honours and is thus qualified for an appointment.\n\nUnless something unforeseen happens, this will be my last Congregation. Looking back over my Vice-Chancellorship, I am conscious of a sense of frustration. I suspect that every head of a University, College, or School becomes, when his time is up, painfully aware of the contrast between the little done and the undone vast. But here, there are so many dominating factors, so many influences vital to the very life of the University, over which one seems to have no control.\n\nBehind the Universities of Europe lie centuries of tradition and of political and social experience. The Universities of America have their foundations in certain ideals which are generally accepted throughout the United States—ideals which have prompted American Universities and American University men not only to start Universities in China but also to maintain them and to keep alive the contact between the mother institutions in America and their children in China. I have many personal friends in \n\n## Page 141", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-561-7 Hong Kong University 4-1-1937 - 22-9-1937.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 554759, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-562-8 Hong Kong University- Engineering Faculty 16-6-1937 - 5-4-1938", "page_number": 43, "title": "CO129-562-8 Hong Kong University- Engineering Faculty 16-6-1937 - 5-4-1938", "content_text": "# HONGKONG UNIVERSITY \n\n(Continued from Page 8.)\n\nThe endowment was being run in a sound, economical, and businesslike manner, and whether the most was being made of its public utility. Now it is because I have had doubts expressed to me by responsible persons on both these points as regards this University, because also its present finances afford room for considerable concern, and chiefly because the Colonial Government is now contributing to them annually a sum of no less than three hundred and fifty thousand dollars that I have decided, as Governor and with the full approval of my Executive Council, to appoint a small committee of inquiry.\n\n## Committee of Inquiry\n\nI to investigate the present, and probable future, financial position of the Hongkong University and to advise whether any changes are desirable in its staffing, personnel, salary scales, or organization;\n\nII: to enquire and advise whether any such, or other, changes are desirable in the interest of its utility or prestige;\n\nIII: to tender any other advice or suggestions for the future of the University.\n\nI have heard the suggestion made that we ought to get an expert out from home for this investigation, but I feel certain myself that our local conditions and circumstances are so peculiar to ourselves that the first thing at any rate, to do is to bring good, clear local brains to bear on the problem and to have their summing up of the position and their advice regarding it before we consider the expensive proposition of obtaining outside opinion which, however expert on the subject of University organization, would not be expert in regard to the special circumstances and requirements of the Far East.\n\nThe gentlemen who will be invited to serve on the Committee will be the Honourable Mr. N. L. Smith, Colonial Secretary, the Honourable Sir Shouson Chow, Mr. J. R. Masson, and Mr. A. Morse, Honorary Treasurer of the University. The membership is small, because I do not believe in unwieldy committees, but the committee will take the evidence of all who respond to its invitation or volunteer to appear before it.\n\n## Scholarships\n\nThe scholarships awarded were:\n| Scholarship | Recipient |\n| --- | --- |\n| The Ng Li-hing Medical Scholarship | divided between S.

Among those present not on the dais were Lady Caldecott, Captain W. J. R. Cragg, A.D.C. to His Excellency, Mr. Secretary to His Excellency; H. E. H. J. Cruttwell, Private Secretary to His Excellency; Vice Admiral Sir Charles Little, and Lady Little, H. E. Maj.-Gen. A. W. Bartholomew and Mrs. Bartholomew; and Rear Admiral C. G. Sedgwick.\n\nWhile tea was being served in the grounds, the Band of the 2nd Battalion, The East Lancashire Battalion, played selections. The programme included: \"March of the Peers\" from \"Iolanthe\", Sullivan; \"The Merry Widow\", Lehar; Selection from the Musical Play; Valse, \"Amorettan Tanze\" Gung'l; Entr'cte, \"Humcresque\", Dvorak; Selection, \"Merrie England\", German.\n\n## SIR WILLIAM HORNELL\n\nSir William Hornell, who has been Vice-Chancellor of the University since 1924, was formerly in the Indian Educational Service. A son of the late Mr. Robert Hornell, Barrister-at-law of the Inner Temple, he was born in 1878 and educated at Radley School and Trinity College, Oxford, where he graduated Master of Arts. In 1901, he entered the Indian Educational Service, and the following year was appointed Professor of English at the Presidency College, Calcutta. Transferred to Bengal, he rose there to be Director of Public Instruction. For some years, he was attached to the Board of Education, Whitehall. In 1918, he was honoured with the C.I.E., and in 1933, he was created a Knight Bachelor. In 1931, he was presented with an honorary degree of Doctor of Law by the Hongkong University.\n\nFor twelve years, he has been building on its foundations and without any edifice of bricks and mortar but the lives and careers of hundreds of young men and women. He has made himself extremely popular in the Colony, and has associated himself with many local organisations. He has confessed to a sense of frustration: He was largely instrumental in securing for the University a share in the Boxer Indemnity Fund.\n\nNobody realises defects in foundation, in lay-out, or in materials more than the master-builder, and the appointment of my small committee will provide the opportunity for the master-builder to come forward and advise as an architectural consultant for the University's future.\n\nSir William has confessed also to a sense of isolation. So far as contact with the British Universities is at present lacking or ineffective, I am bold to prophesy that, when he is back home, Sir William will personally achieve a proper and effectual liaison. He will be, I am confident, this University's apostle to England. But as regards the loss which his departure will spell for us in Hongkong, I can find no words of comfort at all. It is, alas, proverbial that great men leave great gaps. Sir William Hornell has been not only a great Vice-Chancellor but a very human one, so that the gap which he leaves will be a gap not only in the list of Hongkong's distinguished residents but in that innermost circle of public friends which the Colony has taken warmly and gratefully to its heart.\n\nHe ended his address to us this afternoon with the sad word \"Goodbye\"; I refuse now to anticipate our parting with him by returning that salutation but, at this, his last Congregation, and on behalf of all present, I will conclude my remarks by addressing to him two words, two simple little words which can nevertheless be charged with all our infinity of obligation, admiration, and affection towards him--Thank you, Sir William.\n\n## The Graduates\n\nThe following received the degree of Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery:\n- Cheng See-yan\n- Miss C.

What they seek to deceive by such puerile methods is best known to the Japanese themselves, for it is inconceivable that anybody aware of the truth, and not drugged by censorship and delusion as are the masses in Japan, would for a moment be misled. \n\nOnly a couple of days ago we were furnished with another flagrant falsehood emanating from the Tokyo radio station. It was calmly announced that a general survey of the situation since the outbreak of hostilities between the two countries had revealed that public sentiment in China was opposed to fighting with Japan and that the people were not doing anything to support the stand taken by the soldiers at the front. \n\nThat the Chinese do not want war with Japan or any country is to a certain extent correct. The Chinese are a peace-loving race, and they have been forced to take up arms because, in the face of grave provocation, they have had no alternative. It is a matter of life or death for China and the Chinese. The Chinese have turned the other cheek too often in the past, but they are not prepared to submit forever to insult and humiliation. If the Japanese were prepared to undertake a more comprehensive \"survey,\" they would be surprised to find that China is now united, heart and soul, in a tremendous endeavour to maintain her national existence. And that is certainly not pleasing to the Nipponese sabre-rattlers; the Chinese did not expect it to be. \n\nAs to the charge that the people are completely indifferent towards the position of the soldiers now engaged in a brave defence of their mother soil, we submit that such a charge is so groundless as to be unworthy of argument. This is all fiction, as those responsible for its propagation well know. Even if Japanese statements had not all been cock-and-bull stories, we who move in more enlightened surroundings would instantly be able to see in this latest effort a venomous misrepresentation of the true facts.\n\n## THE RULES OF WAR \n\n(*Daily Press*, October 22, 1937) \n\nIt is not a little surprising, perhaps, that the rules of war should be so extensively discussed as one of the results of a war which is not a war at all—for, in North China, it is only an example of what a cowardly nation, possessed of nearly all the modern weapons of war, can do to a more gallant but, alas! none too well-equipped people. The hostilities in this emergency—and emergency is one of the official descriptions given to the events in North China—must, after all is said and done, be conducted under some sort of rules, but it has long since become evident that the Japanese have so disregarded every rule of decency in this undeclared war that, in the short space of three months, thousands of innocent civilians have either been killed or wounded. The breach is complete, but there is no war at all—merely a wish on one side that the other would stop their uncalled-for and illegal aggression. \n\nJapanese spokesmen have all along maintained that Japan has no territorial designs on China. In point of fact, all they desire is to become good and friendly neighbours, and as a demonstration...\n\n(Continued on page 599)", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-563-17 Sino-Japanese War- attacks on shipping.

Mr. Whyatt: Will you just describe in ordinary language what they are? Two metallic bodies. The larger of the two is certainly a bullet of some sort, and the smaller thing is a fragment of the same bullet or of a similar bullet.\n\n1174. Bearing these data in mind and now looking at the X-ray photograph, those foreign bodies you see in the photograph - are you of the opinion that they are photographs of the same foreign bodies which were removed from the knee? I can trace a very definite similarity.\n\n1175. Perhaps you will tell us what sort of progress this patient is making? The knee joint is still in a septic condition, but she is showing signs of improvement.\n\n1176. And her general condition? Her general condition - her strength is being maintained fairly well.\n\n1177. Do you anticipate a recovery? I think her chances of recovery are fairly good. It might be necessary to amputate the leg later on.\n\n1178. If it is not necessary to amputate the leg, will there be any restriction of movement in this leg? I certainly think the knee joint as a knee joint will be no longer of service.\n\n1179. Chairman: Thank you, Dr. Court. I hope you will be able to leave those photographs here so that we may have copies made of them. Yes.\n\n1180. (The Chairman suggested at this stage that the Police should be given custody of the fragments of metal put in as exhibits).\n\n1181. Chairman: The fragments must be marked so as to preserve their identity. I mentioned that in case they are cut up and disfigured in the process of examination. The Police may have them provided an undertaking is given by them to preserve their identity, whether they come back in smaller parts or not.\n\n1182. Mr. Whyatt: I think I shall be able to call any witnesses who handle these exhibits between now and the time when the Court sits again to prove their identity.\n\n1183.

Mr. Whyatt: You are the medical superintendent of the Kwong Wah Hospital? Yes, I am.\n\n1186. You recollect on the 27th September some fishermen being admitted to the Kwong Wah Hospital? Yes, ten of them.\n\n1187. Do you know where they came from before they came to your hospital? They were sent to us by the Water Police.\n\n1188. Were some of these fishermen suffering from injuries? Four of them were suffering from injuries - four of the ten fishermen were wounded.\n\n1189. Was there anything the matter with the other six? They had no wounds.\n\n1190. What was their general condition? They were all suffering from exhaustion and exposure.\n\n1191. I want to ask you about these four, the four who were injured. Can you tell me the name of the first one you examined? Lai Yau.\n\n1192. What sort of age was Lai Yau? Stated to be thirty-eight.\n\n1193. What was he suffering from? He was suffering from conjunctivitis and three superficial wounds on the right hand.\n\n1194. Did he have any other wounds besides those on the right hand? On admission, he had two or three other wounds, but they were healed.\n\n1195. Where were those other wounds? Also on the back of the hand.\n\n1196. Can you express any opinion how long those wounds had been there? About a week.\n\n1197. Could they have been there less than a week? Possibly.\n\n1198. How much less than a week? One or two days.\n\n| Question | Answer |\n| --- | --- |\n| 1199. Anything from four to seven days old, would that be right? | Yes, from four to seven days old. |\n\n1200. Now tell me about the second person whom you examined? Ho Kau.\n\n1201. And his age? 29 years.\n\n1202. Tell me what he was suffering from. He was suffering from a lacerated wound measuring two inches in length over the left frontal region.\n\n1203. Chairman: That is on the forehead? Yes.\n\n1204. Mr. Whyatt: Anything else? A lacerated wound measuring two inches by one half inch over the left supra-orbital region, the left eyebrow. Multiple superficial wounds on the left side of the face. Lacerated wound over the manubrium sterni, that is the upper part of the front of the chest.\n\n1205. Yes? And numerous superficial wounds over the neck and front of chest. Numerous superficial wounds in front of right arm.\n\n1206. You described them as superficial wounds; could you give me some idea of the depth of the wounds? Not very deep, just touching the skin.\n\n1207. Chairman: Just penetrating the skin? Just penetrating through the skin.\n\n1208. Mr. Whyatt: That was all Ho Kau was suffering from. Tell me about the next patient you examined? Li Tai, age 53 years. He was suffering from superficial wound of right cheek, measuring one inch in length, and incised wound of lower lip, measuring one and a quarter inches in length.\n\n1209. Any others? Multiple superficial lacerations of right leg and foot. Circular punctured wound of medial aspect of right thigh, measuring one quarter inch in diameter and three quarter inch in depth. One small punctured wound over left buttock from which a piece of metal was extracted.\n\n1210. Will you look at that. Have you seen that before? Yes.\n\n1211. When did you first see that? This was taken out from the wound.\n\n1212. From the wound you have just described? Yes.\n\n1213. Were there any other injuries to Li Tai apart from those you described? Yes, numerous superficial lacerated wounds on both buttocks.\n\n1214. Did you get anything from those wounds? From those wounds, several small pieces of wood were extracted. (Witness produces small pieces of wood). Yes.\n\n1215. Did you keep those pieces of wood? Yes.\n\n1216. I think that completes the injuries to Li Tai, does it not, Dr. Bau? \n\n1217. Tell us about the fourth man who was suffering from injuries. Lai Pak-yau, age 29 years. He was suffering from a lacerated wound measuring three inches by one and a half inches over the left elbow. Circular superficial wounds over left leg, measuring one half inch in diameter.\n\n1218. That was all? Yes.\n\n1219. You have told us that the wounds which you found in Lai Yau were in your opinion from four to seven days old. Does that same opinion apply to all the wounds you treated? Yes.\n\n1220. Of all the four men? Yes.\n\n1221. Did these wounds appear to you to have been treated in any way before the men were admitted to your care? They went to the Kowloon Hospital, I believe, and were dressed there before they were sent to me.\n\n1222. Did they appear to have been treated by anyone before they came under your care? The wounds were not very septic.\n\n1223. Mr. Whyatt to Commissioners: Actually, they were not admitted to the Kowloon Hospital because it was full at the time. We have it on evidence from one of the witnesses that one of the officers of the steamer \"Scharnhorst\" did something to them.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-563-17 Sino-Japanese War- attacks on shipping.

In 1936 the tenants gave notice of removal. The landlords \"asked us to stay on at any rent\". $45 per month was offered and accepted. This year notice to quit was given by the landlords and an increase of rent offered by the tenants was refused. The tenants have now obtained accommodation in a hostel. The facts are taken from the tenants' own evidence. Here is the \"pistol to the head\" referred to by the Government Assessor of Rates. (See paragraph 4 of Part II of this Report.)\n\n5. Landlords have perforce accepted unsatisfactory tenants during recent years. Tenants have been in arrears with their rent for months. Houses and flats have been constantly vacant, sometimes for years. Landlords have been called upon to pay enormous charges for excess water. Tenants, by threatening to quit, have forced down rents to excessively low levels. Almost any page extracted from a landlord's accounts will justify the foregoing statements as regards the cheaper class of premises, and tenants in their evidence frequently admitted as much. A European banker referred to \"cases where landlords have cancelled several months' back rent so long as the tenant promised to stay on and pay his rent in future\". We think that notices to quit have been given in many cases because the landlord is at last in a position to get rid of a bad tenant.\n\n## \n\n6. Unsatisfactory tenants may be dismissed without further notice, but the problem presented by the tenant who (a) is living in a class of premises which normally commands a rent he cannot afford to pay, or (b) is given notice to remove because the landlord requires the premises for his own use, is one of real difficulty.\n\n7. As regards class (a), the answer would simply be, if there were no shortage of accommodation, that now the landlord is in a position to demand and obtain an economic rent, the tenant must revert to the type of premises from which he came, but unhappily at the present time that type of premises has itself been taken up, and though the general restoration of pre-depression rents may gradually force successive classes of tenants one rung down the social ladder, yet the humblest class will be forced off the ladder altogether, and must either leave the Colony or sleep in the streets. The problem resolves itself into a balance of hardships. Is the landlord, who has suffered great losses, to forego his opportunity to recoup himself because his tenant is unable to pay an economic rent and cannot find alternative accommodation; or is the tenant, who has not unnaturally seized the opportunity to move into pleasanter surroundings, and who in most cases has now made strenuous but unsuccessful endeavours to secure cheaper premises, to be forced either to meet charges which in his circumstances are ruinous, or to be rendered homeless? The question can only be answered by having regard to the effect of any legislative intervention on the general prosperity of the whole community.\n\n8. In the first place, it should be remembered that it is only human to protest against increased charges, and we are not satisfied that in all cases tenants could not, perhaps by effecting other savings, afford with more or less difficulty to pay economic rents to their landlords. In one case, a Chinese clerk with a wife and two children earning $75 per month employed two servants at wages of $7 and $5 per month respectively. His rent is to be increased by $6 per month. By dispensing with a servant, he could in the one case more than, or in the other almost, meet the increased rent. The same tenant had not looked for other accommodation because he \"relied on the Rents Commission\", and this attitude was not uncommon. Another had failed to inquire for other premises because her notice had not yet expired and there was, therefore, \"no need to worry\". A European tenant of a flat sent us a written complaint. In May 1935, during the depression, he obtained the flat at a rent of $120 per month including refrigeration. On his providing his own refrigerator, the rent was reduced to $112.50 per month. In January 1938, the landlords (a limited company) informed all the tenants of this block of flats who had not entered into leases that, as from 1st March 1938, the rent would be $170 per month, or to those who signed a lease for at least one year, $150 per month. The tenant wrote to the landlords stating that he would probably be relieved at the end of April, and it was", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-572-10 Rent Commission 14-3-1938 - 7-6-1938.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 563280, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-574-13 British capital for China- Prime Minister's statement 5-11-1938 - 5-11-1938", "page_number": 40, "title": "CO129-574-13 British capital for China- Prime Minister's statement 5-11-1938 - 5-11-1938", "content_text": "# International Situation HOUSE OF COMMONS\n\n[Mr. Boothby.]\n\n## International Situation\n\nThe \"Economist,\" the laissez-faire capitalist newspaper, which is in principle opposed to any kind of interference with industry if it can possibly be avoided, continues: \"Those who have been advocating the creation of such a Ministry ever since the inception of rearmament have been told by the Government that it would be an unnecessary interference with the normal course of industry. The Government have preferred the alternative course of co-ordinating the activities of the independent Ministries through a Minister with Cabinet rank, but without executive powers. It may fairly be said that the system associated with the name of Sir Thomas Inskip has failed. It is precisely because interference with the normal course of the armaments industry is required that a Ministry of Supply has now become a necessity. What was formerly an objection to the proposal has become its very marrow.\"\n\nIt is no insult to the Defence Departments to say that they are not equipped for the mass production of armaments. They are staffed by officers, by civil servants and by technical experts; the one character who never penetrates their portals is the business organiser or the big industrialist. They are hampered at every turn by Treasury control. This mechanism cannot compete with the totalitarian domination of industry in Germany.\n\nSir Kingsley Wood has recently announced that 20,000 to 80,000 man-hours of work are now required to produce an airplane. This figure in itself is a conclusive condemnation of the present system. Germany is believed to be turning out 600 machines a month, and she is certainly not devoting 48, or even 12, million man-hours to the job. Doubtless our methods of production turn out excellent machines; the Russians in 1916 made shells that were engineering masterpieces. But they lost the war because their shells were too good and too few, and we shall lose the peace if our aircraft are too good and too few.\n\nI believe that to be profoundly true. The article goes on: \"One of the most urgent tasks before the Government is drastically to reduce the number of man-hours per airplane, per gun, per shell turned out. It is not a task for which the officer, the designer, the civil servant has any qualifications. It is a task for the industrial manager. He must be enlisted, as he was in the war, in a special Ministry, led by a human dynamo, and equipped with the legal powers necessary to organise the production of arms as the biggest mass production industry the world has ever known.\"\n\nNothing less than that will meet the case. I am glad to see my right hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade here because this was supposed to be something in the nature of an economic Debate. There has been very little talk about economics so far; but before I come to my concluding sentences I would like to say one or two words about certain economic aspects of the situation. I think the Prime Minister is genuinely worried about the financial aspect of rearmament, and that two of the things which make him hesitate to set up a Ministry of Supply are the cost, and the interference to industry which might be great enough to diminish revenue.\n\nAll I can say in this connection is that we ought seriously to ask ourselves a question which, incidentally, we ought to ask ourselves with regard to many other aspects of the present situation, namely, How have the Germans done it? They have nothing like our resources, although it is wrong to say that they are at starvation level. On the contrary, they are fully employed at a tolerable standard of life. They have done it in three ways. They have done it by the creation of credit, by the issue of long-term loans, and by taxation. We can do it by these three methods much more easily if we choose to do so. Their current rate of State expenditure is over 35 per cent. of their total national income. Ours is only 10 per cent. Their loan expenditure is 25 per cent. of the national income. Ours is less than 3 per cent. They have no unemployment. We have 2,000,000 unemployed; and, therefore, a considerable leeway to make up of unemployed and unused resources of productive capacity. Ours are nothing like fully employed, and are infinitely superior.\n\nWe could carry out the armaments programme quite easily, and with considerable benefit to the economy of this country and to the working classes if we had a measure of controlled domestic inflation, for which I have frequently pleaded in this House. An eminent economist, whose qualifications are not disputed, Mr. Harrod, of Oxford, has repeatedly advocated this policy in a series of able letters in the \"Times,\" which have been adequately answered. He advocates an increase of bank investments, and, as a consequence, a further cheapening of money, a reduction of the rate of interest, followed by loan expenditure until the slack has been taken up, and until the majority of those unemployed are in full employment, and then, and only then, an increase of taxation. At the same time he advocates an adjustment of the exchange rate of sterling in accordance with the price levels prevailing in this country and in foreign countries at any given moment. The technique of controlled inflation is now well enough known. The arguments against it have never been put with any great force, and I have never seen the arguments in favour of it adequately answered. An expansion of internal activity in this country would create additional purchasing power, increased demand, increased imports, and increased exports. Mr. Harrod says: \"The time is economically propitious for the operation of a great drive in defence works,\" and he believes that our defence expenditure could reasonably and beneficially be doubled during the next 12 months. I think that is profoundly true, and if my right hon. Friend has any arguments to put against it, I wish he would put them.\n\nI would like now to say a word about the point which the Prime Minister made on the question of export trade. Our export trade is falling off with alarming rapidity. It is no good pretending that a great deal of our prosperity is not dependent upon export trade, because it is. The prosperity and the economic life of this country were built up fundamentally upon the export trade, and also our industrial population. We cannot go on watching with equanimity our export trade falling, and doing nothing about it. But it will go on falling unless drastic and constructive steps are taken quickly. Swift action is essential in this matter, if we are to save some of our remaining markets.\n\nThe Prime Minister dismissed this trip of Dr. Funk as being of little account. He rather scouted the idea that there was any sinister motive behind it. I do not think there was; but I do think that there was a definite objective to get us altogether out of the markets of South-East Europe. This must not be done. If you survey the whole field of exports you naturally take the Empire first of all. The hon. Member for Basingstoke (Mr. Donner) made an eloquent appeal for Empire trade. I agree with him. But in the natural order of things the Dominions are bound to become increasingly self-supporting in the years that lie immediately ahead. Our Colonies are first of all largely dependent for their purchasing power upon the level of world commodity prices at any given time. The markets in our Colonies are also definitely limited; and if rumour is correct they are likely to be still more limited in the near future. Take the Far East. Whatever the Prime Minister may say about future capital investment, the Chinese market has gone for the time being. And now we are being hustled out of the markets of South-East Europe.\n\nI entirely agree with the Prime Minister that our objective need never be to try and check legitimate German and Japanese expansion in the markets of Europe or of the Far East; but I submit with all due respect to my right hon. Friend that there is an absolute need for this country to maintain a footing in the valuable markets of Europe and of the Far East. We have to be prepared to consider measures much more unorthodox than we have ever employed hitherto, if we are to do that, and stand up against the methods employed by Dr. Schacht with any hope of success. I outlined some of these methods to the House a few weeks ago, and they are well known to my right hon. Friend. But we can offer to these countries three things which the Germans cannot. We can offer credits and sterling and, therefore, we can offer a choice to these countries. They will give a lot not to be completely dominated economically by Germany, and to have free access to raw materials and manufactured goods in other parts of the world. A free currency alone can give that to them. But if we are to exploit these advantages against Germany and Japan the Government must be prepared, in certain circumstances, to shoulder some of the risks which no individual can be expected to do as long as the world is in its present state.\n\nMy final quotation is from Terboven, the local Gauleiter, at the Essen Conference, who, again reported in the \"Times,\" said: \"Germans are scoring, because their Government assume the whole risk on behalf of their traders. Our Government have got to assume some risks if we are to hold our own, still more expand our trade in some of these foreign markets.\"\n\nMay I say this in conclusion? The Prime Minister believes that he can come to reasonable terms with the totalitarian States. I think he sincerely believes this, and all of us would wish him success in his efforts to do so. But reasonable terms are not necessarily Hitler's terms. Munich was something to be profoundly thankful for, and I agree with the Prime Minister that it is nothing for us to be ashamed of. I do think, however, that it is nothing to cheer; and if something far worse than Munich is to be avoided, we must negotiate, in the future, not from weakness but from strength. Otherwise there is absolutely no chance of our getting reasonable or fair terms from the totalitarian States.\n\nHere is the crux of the problem. If we cannot gain the necessary strength in time, there is no point at which we shall ever be able to make a stand, and we shall sink slowly but steadily to the status of a third-rate Power. The Germans are well aware of this. I would ask hon. Friends of mine who are always accusing us of not taking Hitler at his word, and of saying that he cannot be depended on, to consider one or two speeches made by responsible German statesmen since the Munich agreement. Dr. Goebbels, speaking at Hamburg, said: \"Hitler was not modest or timid. No, he was very astute, cheeky and sly. We knew these Parliamentarian tricks, their dilatory tactics. We had to say, By such a day we get what is ours, or we draw the sword.\" That worked. So now the German man-in-the-street is asking quite casually, \"Well, then, when will the Colonies be served up?\"\n\nLet me quote a speech of Dr. Ley at Essen, reported to-day in the \"Times,\" which is not generally considered to be an anti-Nazi newspaper: \"To obtain a sphere of existence equal to that of other nations, German effort and production must be increased 100 per cent. We must not only maintain our lead in aerial armament and other fields, but increase it many times. Other nations must learn that nothing can be done against this people. If the Kaiser in 1910, 1911 and 1912 had done what the Fuhrer has done on the Western front, we would probably never have had a world war, or at least should have won it.\"\n\n\"We are clear, my comrades, that if Mr. Chamberlain found himself ready to sign the Munich Agreement it was not because he felt within himself an irrepressible urge to help the Sudeten Germans to attain their national living rights If he signed it was because of two quite simple considerations: first, because he had to acknowledge that the Fuhrer, and the whole 80,000,000 people of the nation, were determined, if it must be, to use arms to establish the natural rights of our Sudeten German brothers; secondly, because this will was expressed not merely in words and negotiations, but behind it and this affected England especially-there stood an air force which, under the determined leadership of Field Marshal Goering, was ready to prove to the English nation within a few days that so-called splendid isolation had for all time ceased to exist.\"\n\nThese speeches have all been made since the Munich Agreement; and I only say, in face of them, how can we consider it possible not to rearm with all the strength in our power? It is the only language to use to Germany; it is the only language they understand, and the only language for which they will ever respect us. A democratic State is impotent unless it is led with energy and conviction. Operating on a normal peace-time basis, how can we hope to compete with a totalitarian State like Germany, efficient to the nth degree and operating on a war-time basis? I was amazed when the Leader of the Opposition said he did not advocate any form of compulsion in this country. We must have many forms of compulsion, not only with regard to labour, capital and profits, but over the whole field. I am not talking about military conscription. I am talking about a Ministry of Supply, which to be effective must have compulsory powers. If we do not ultimately make the necessary effort and sacrifices, I think it will be the end of the British Empire.\n\nThe other day I was reading an article in the \"Manchester Guardian\" by my old tutor at Oxford, Professor Namier, of Manchester University, in which he used these words about the democracies: \"Sated and sophisticated, civilised, sensitive and war-weary, the democracies have a conscience and no faith-the most dangerous condition for individuals and nations. Hitler, on the other hand, is single-minded, and ready to take risks which makes him supreme over those who do not know their own minds and cannot control their fears Berchtesgaden is now the emotional centre of an incalculable German policy.\"\n\nPage 40 \nPage 41", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-574-13 British capital for China- Prime Minister's statement 5-11-1938 - 5-11-1938.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 563281, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-574-13 British capital for China- Prime Minister's statement 5-11-1938 - 5-11-1938", "page_number": 41, "title": "CO129-574-13 British capital for China- Prime Minister's statement 5-11-1938 - 5-11-1938", "content_text": "## International Situation\n125 votes.\n\n126 International Situation\n\nI know his motives, and they are profoundly sincere and profoundly wrong-headed. When I first came into the House, Members on this side used to get up and go out, purple with anger, when the hon. Member for Bridgeton made the sort of speech we heard from him the other day; and I am wondering why they should cheer him on this occasion when they used to be so rightly angry.\n\nI remember that Ribbentrop has been telling Hitler for the last six months that the governing class in this country is more interested in its cash than in the country. That is what he has been saying; and all I would say to my hon. Friends is that when I hear them cheering a genuinely pacifist speech made by the hon. Member for Bridgeton it gives me a queasy feeling in my stomach, and I do not like it, for I am uneasy about their motives.\n\nI say to the Government and to hon. Members that they have no mandate from the people of this country to betray the people who were killed between 1914 and 1918. They have no mandate to give away this Empire.\n\n### International Situation I NOVEMBER 1938\n\nIt is too true. What is required in this country—I do not know whether we are going to get it, but it is what is required—is something in the nature of a social and economic revolution, and that quickly. Great sacrifices will have to be demanded of all classes of our people if we are to get through. Will they respond? I believe that the people of this country would respond if they got effective leadership, and courageous leadership, and if they were told the truth, which they have not been told during the last 10 years by any political party. We have all sheltered them, largely for the purpose of obtaining votes. That remark applies to both sides of the House. We have all sheltered them; we have all encouraged them not to face facts or to make efforts. Hon. Members opposite are just as much to blame as we are. This country has been encouraged to be lazy during the last 10 years by its political leaders on both sides.\n\nAt Munich, the Prime Minister paid the penalty, with great courage, of five years of indolence and ineptitude on the part of the Government of this country; and we who are always inclined to abuse the Germans and complain of their methods, might at least pay some attention to the example that Germany has set us in two things, in the sacrifice and hard work, and in the real faith and genuine sincerity, of a large proportion of the German population. Against that, we have to put scepticism, prevailing to far too great an extent, and committees. I wish we could have few less committees. They do not have committees in Germany. We set up committees by the score—committees on trade, on the evacuation of school children, on the location of industry, and all the rest of it. They meet, I suppose, once a week or once a month, and report after two or three years, and the Minister writes a little preface and signs it, and their report is circulated by Command of His Majesty to the House of Commons, and that is the end of the whole thing. We cannot compete with German methods by means of committees and White or Blue Papers circulated to this House.\n\nMr. McGovern: Will the hon. Member show me where the speech of the hon. Member for Bridgeton (Mr. Maxton) was pacifist? Surely there is a great difference when a man says, in relation to a war fought between capitalist and Imperialist rivals, \"I will not advocate support for that war\" and when he says, \"I am prepared to defend working-class standards and prepared to assist in the overthrow of capitalism.\" That is what one might term pacifism towards capitalist war, but in working-class action...\n\nI must say to my hon. Friends who sit behind me that I do not like to hear them cheering speeches made by the hon. Member for Bridgeton (Mr. Maxton). I have sat in the House for 14 years with the hon. Member for Bridgeton and I...\n\n### No. 165 revolution.\n\nMr. Boothby: All I can say is that when I hear Members of the Conservative party cheering a proposition to overthrow capitalism I am astonished, and what the hon. Member has now said has only increased my disquiet. I say that we have no mandate to give away the British Empire, to betray the people who fought for it between 1914 and 1918; and if it is not to be given away we have to make a terrific effort to rearm. I should like to conclude by quoting some words which I read on Sunday in the `Observer`, which seem to me to sum up the whole thing:\n\n\"In the existing world we have to keep close company with danger, and no leadership worthy of the name will ever allow us to forget it.\"\n\nE 2 \n74", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-574-13 British capital for China- Prime Minister's statement 5-11-1938 - 5-11-1938.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 563987, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-575-16 Tung Wah hospital 9-2-1939 - 17-11-1939", "page_number": 8, "title": "CO129-575-16 Tung Wah hospital 9-2-1939 - 17-11-1939", "content_text": "## \nIn para. 12 of (12) and `53556/30` the Governor spoke of a Chee, on hospitalization in H.K., within whose scope the Tung Wan hospitals would - we look up the point in reply to that desk.

There, gentlemen, you have your Crown Case.\n\nIf you accept that, what is the law applicable?\n\nThere is one further feature of the evidence which it is essential I should remind you of and that is the medical evidence.\n\nIt is difficult to over-exaggerate the importance of the testimony of the doctor because, as you will remember, he speaks not to one wound but to four, not to one serious wound and three trivial wounds but to four serious wounds, three of them very serious indeed. They were all incised wounds. They were all of the type of wound that would have been inflicted by such a weapon as we have had described by its owner Ng Kui. They were all wounds which, according to Dr. Lien, require a considerable amount of force. They were wounds each of which required a separate blow from the assailant, so that you have four blows struck, four blows at least struck with a considerable degree of force, one on the back of the neck, a savage blow - one on the right cheek, a relatively minor one on the left arm and another very savage blow across the left thigh.\n\nGentlemen, if you accept the story told by witnesses for the prosecution then there are only two possibilities. One is that irritated beyond control, that is beyond his control, not beyond the control of a normal and reasonable man, - irritated beyond his degree of control, by the reiterated requests for money and by the fresh threats of Leung Ki, still further irritated at the loss of face occasioned by his being tapped on the shoulder by a younger man than himself, the", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-584-14 Commutation of death sentences to life imprisonment.

This was the only reason for the fight. The blow made defendant's cheek red and his eye water.\n\nDefendant and Deceased were sitting by a bed and defendant by the end of the bed.

This is to my mind not only expressive of the Japanese sense of proportion but his innate nature.\n\n## AN UNFORTUNATE ADVENTURE\n\nThe famous Burma Road is not without its dangers, especially with reckless drivers. My experience commenced when I left Kweiyang for Chungking. Just before the well-known 72 curves, an over-loaded N.R.C. truck, with its paraphernalia of wolfram sacks, mercury bottles and passengers, was trailing behind another truck which found itself stopping half-way up a steep slope. Our driver put on the brakes, but with no success. The truck slipped backwards and crashed on to a rock. Nothing serious happened on this occasion, but this was the prelude to the main disaster and illustrates the dangerous situation we were constantly in. Miraculously, the truck managed the 72 curves safely. But, while coming down a small hill about two kilometres from Chuchiang, the left brake failed; the driver lost his presence of mind and headed the truck straight for a rock, then jammed on the brakes. The truck was completely overturned, two men killed instantaneously, two sustained serious injuries, one miraculously escaped and, for myself, I am at present recuperating from a compound Colles' Fracture and a dislocated elbow.\n\n## THREE VOLUNTEERS ESCAPE\n\nI cannot vouchsafe that our escape from the Japanese internment camp at Sham-shui-po was anything dramatic, but it was nevertheless quite a thrilling adventure for us. Undoubtedly it was an enterprise worth undertaking, however great the risk, and it was prompted not by a desire to escape from a life of rice and beans, for \"man does not live by bread alone\", but by a rebellious hatred of our captors and all that they stood for.\n\nThe camp borders the sea and the old wooden jetty was a favourite rendezvous of soldier, sailor, regular and volunteer alike. Everyone was a philosopher resigned to his fate. You could see a Canadian fishing with a common hook and line, a weather-beaten old sailor watching the ships not far off, a Royal Scot snoring in an afternoon siesta and a Middlesex corporal reading Shakespeare. I was thinking of Masefield's \"Call of the Sea\" one day, when I met a sergeant of the Royal Grenadiers, a short and stout young man, who looked typically a soldier and a Scot. A tete-a-tete ensued, in the course of which he asked me why I had not thought of \"making a break\". I was planning, I told him, but the time was still inopportune. \"Oh,\" he said, \"it is easy,\" and he divulged to me what was supposed to be a secret.\n\nIn the small hours, every morning, a boatman used to bring quantities of food-stuffs to the side of the jetty to sell to those internees who could still afford to buy. Sugar, sardines, pork and beans - these were sold like hot-cakes at colossal prices. This petty business done in the dark must have brought the fisherman a fortune. Surely a bargain could be struck with the man. It was a happy piece of news and it greatly revived the spirit that was slowly being sapped within me.\n\nI was at the jetty the next morning with two friends. We were there only to watch, not to act. We saw a lot. We saw officers and privates lined up in two queues down the gangway, waiting for the boat to arrive. It was pitch dark, and one and all were mute and quiet. No one desired to wake up the Japanese sentry! We had not long to wait. The boat drew near, quietly, very quietly indeed, and stopped next to the jetty. It was an ordinary fisherman's boat, such as one sees along the coast of China. Business soon began, with a Volunteer named \"Charlie\" acting as the middleman. Everything had to be transacted promptly and fast - 5 for a tiny packet of sugar, 10 for a tin of sardines, and so forth.\n\nIt was \"Charlie\" who bargained with the boatman for us the next day, and the two friends and I were carried to the boat by friendly hands. There were more than a hundred of them that morning and they were glad to see us making a bid for freedom. In their heart of hearts, they wished they could join us, and they raised a soft cheer for us as the boat moved away. We did not expect such a send-off and we felt it augured well for the voyage.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-588-9 Hong Kong University- relief work 11-8-1942 - 19-11-1943.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 575021, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-590-2 Evacuees- memorandum on financial policy and administration in Australia 31-8-1942 - 9-12-1942", "page_number": 6, "title": "CO129-590-2 Evacuees- memorandum on financial policy and administration in Australia 31-8-1942 - 9-12-1942", "content_text": "## The Co.

W. VALLESSUK, H. KVAMSO, and R. BRODERSEN.\n\n## ESCAPE FROM HONG KONG.\n\nCaptain H. KVAMSO and the undersigned had for some time been discussing the possibilities of getting away from Hong Kong. The inactivity and the complete waste of time had for months caused depression and dissatisfaction among the unfortunate people in Hong Kong. The wildest rumours went around, particularly after each escape from the various Camps or from other parts of Hong Kong.\n\nThe first difficulty to overcome was to get in touch with the right people, and in the end, I was fortunate enough to contact Mr. MONAGHAN, who is carrying on his own broker business. As Captain KVAMSO and myself approached Mr. MONAGHAN on the 3rd of February 1943, he told us that he was making arrangements for a Russian Radio Engineer, Mr. W. VALLESSUK, who intended to get away on or about the 10th of February, as arrangements for his escape had already been made from WAICHOW, and that another two people might be included in the same scheme. From that moment everything went according to plan, without a hitch.\n\nOn Wednesday, the 10th of February, 1943, all three of us arranged to meet at some Norwegian friends' house, 226 Prince Edward Road, Kowloon. At 5 p.m. two Chinese turned up. We left the house and followed the Chinese up to a certain house on TAI PO ROAD. From there, one Chinese took us back to Hong Kong by the Star Ferry, caught the tram car down to SHAUKIMAN. There was a blackout, and plenty of searchlights were in action. We jumped off the tram somewhere between Taikoo Road and Shaukiwan terminus, were met by another Chinese who led us down a narrow dark lane. Two sampans were waiting; we jumped on board, lay down flat, face down, and off we went quickly but swiftly, straight across the harbour. After 28 minutes of intense anxiety, we reached the shore on the other side at CHOI KI LEN. Shortly afterwards, a group of armed Chinese turned up. At first, we thought they were Japanese but on closer examination, I noticed that one of them was wearing a Chinese uniform, and that settled our doubts. After half an hour's march along the shore and up through a valley, we arrived at a small village, MAH LAU TONG, where a nice Chinese meal was prepared for us. There we were introduced to KONG SHUI, the Guerilla Chief. After the meal, we proceeded to another village half an hour further along. There we were put up for the night and spent the whole of the next day inside the house. At dusk, our guide, KONG CHUN HON, turned up with our baggage. He had been walking overland with it.\n\nOn we went from there down to the beach, took a sampan across JUNK BAY to HANG HOW, where we had a cup of hot coffee to cheer us up. Walking over the hills of the peninsula we eventually came to another boat, this time a bigger junk, sailing between the islands along the shore, and at 2 a.m. stepped ashore. Had half an hour's walk up to a small village where we were put up for the night. Spent the next day inside or in the immediate vicinity of the house. Were introduced to HENRY TAM, the local Guerilla Chief. He tried to impress us with original letters written by people who have escaped before, and we had to sign a letter of appreciation for the assistance granted us so far. At about 8 p.m. we started off on the toughest part of the journey, a 2 hour's walk over some high mountains down to a village on MIRS BAY. Armed sentries met us, and an escort of six went with us on the junk. Got past the dangerous point of KUN MOON, but no Japanese vessels were to be seen. At a few miles from the other shore, we were transferred to a small sailing sampan, and after nearly 2 hours in penetrating cold and pitch darkness, we anchored up in the bay on the Free China side of MIRS BAY. Stayed on board until daybreak. Got ashore, passed through the Chinese fort, and walked up along to SHAYUCHUNG, where we were met by a couple of runners sent down from WAICHOW. Thence by chair to TAMSHUI, where we stayed overnight in a Chinese Hotel.\n\nPage 151", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-590-22 Situation in enemy occupied Hong Kong 19-1-1943 - 20-11-1943.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 575559, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-590-23 Situation in Hong Kong 25-4-1905 - 25-4-1905", "page_number": 201, "title": "CO129-590-23 Situation in Hong Kong 25-4-1905 - 25-4-1905", "content_text": "# Diary Entries\n\n## 1st January 1942\n\nNew Year's Day. Everything seems to be quiet. I have been out for a short walk. Decided to arrange an office for North and to try to form some connection with our old friends, although I really do not see what we can do at the moment. All cars on the streets have been rounded up except those which are too damaged to be of any use at the moment. Cricket Club is being used as a car dump.\n\nWent up to Queen Mary this morning to see O.G. Events at Race Course were ghastly according to her story. She confirmed she escaped only by fainting. Hospital very full of wounded. Talked to some of them and tried to cheer them up.\n\nSoldiers seem to be everywhere but apart from being stopped by sentries for examination, we were not interfered with.\n\n## 2nd January 1942\n\nLists of casualties are gradually coming in, but so far no news of those trapped at Repulse Bay, Stanley, and North Point areas prior to surrender. There are hundreds of names missing and without help from the Japs, we cannot compile proper lists. We have been refused permission to go over to Kowloon and get the names of prisoners of war. Our letters receive no replies and nothing can be done.\n\nLarge numbers of people are applying to return to Kowloon and Japs have asked us to prepare lists of residents.\n\nFormer civil servants have been ordered by the Japs to register with them. Indian police have been allowed to carry on under the Japs and many of the Chinese have gone over to them. Of course, they have to live and most of them have families.\n\nThere is talk of banks opening after the holidays. Money is becoming a problem. There is very little small change and people are hard pressed to change ten dollar bills. Notes of large denomination cannot be changed at all. Military yen are beginning to make their appearance, and a notice has been issued to the effect that H.K. dollars can be changed into Mil. Yen at the rate of M.Y. 1 to H.K.$2. Only ten dollars at one time may be changed. No larger notes will be accepted.\n\nLetters have been sent to the Jap High Command regarding the status of Sir Arthur and Lady Blackburn and other members of the Embassy staff.\n\n## 3rd Jan. 1942\n\nIt is almost impossible to walk down Queens Rd. due to the crowds of Chinese and the hawker stalls. The people are wandering about, some aimlessly, others with a look of astonishment on their faces at this whole ghastly mess, which is worse than tragedy. Words cannot express the feeling that what has been accomplished in a hundred years has completely crumbled in a few days.\n\nNewspapers are now appearing and the editorials are slamming \"the oppression of the people and the maltreatment of them at the hands of the British Imperialists\". There are also signs of anti-British feeling amongst the Chinese people and I am afraid the results are going to be anything but bright when the time comes.\n\nWe are wondering when we shall be interned and where it will take place. Sometimes I feel that we shall be safer in camps than we shall be if we are allowed to remain free. In a few weeks' time, when the food supplies have run out and the Chinese cannot get food, they will definitely turn against us, and we may then expect trouble. It is evident that their feelings are against us by the amount of looting that has taken place and the way in which homes and houses have been broken into and smashed. Although I must confess Chinese homes and houses have also suffered. This evening the light in certain areas came on but no power.\n\nThis afternoon B. came in and told us the story of the death of his wife. Poor man. He was in a dreadful state. He was wounded at Repulse Bay and swam to Stanley on the 30th Dec. to be with his wife on Christmas Eve. He stayed with her until 3.0 pm on Christmas afternoon and then she left him to go on duty. He heard her voice in the duty room until about 5.0.

The group has the very active Support of Mr. Takio Oda, the chief of the Bureau of Foreign Affairs.\n\nOf course their work will be difficult.\n\nMr. Keller told me that Mr. Zindle was required to make a report on conditions in the camps for soldiers and volunteers.

You will recollect that students were registered with the General Medical Council on passing the first examinations on Physics, Chemistry, and Biology, and that subsequently, on graduation, these students were eligible to be included in the Medical Register. This latter is a point of major importance to most of the medical graduates of Hong Kong University, as the majority of them enter practice in British regions such as Hong Kong, Malaya, British North Borneo, etc.\n\nWhen the war broke out in Hong Kong, final examinations were in progress, and it was unanimously decided by the Senate at an Emergency Meeting on December 31st, 1941, for which the requisite quorum was present, to confer war-time degrees in Medicine on those students whose examinations had been interrupted by the outbreak of war. These names included:\n\nHilda Chan (Miss)\n\nChan Ping Kwok\n\nChow Cham Lau\n\nLau Po Hei\n\nLee Ching Iu\n\nLeong Yean Seng\n\nLing Sing Hang\n\nOng Hian Pitt\n\nE.N. Orloff (Posthumous Degree)\n\nSoon Cheng Hoe\n\nWong Ching Kuen\n\n(E.N. Orloff was barbarically murdered by the Japanese when he was carrying out his duties on the day the Japanese first landed on the island of Hong Kong, and it was felt that a posthumous degree should be awarded to him).\n\nAt a later meeting of the Senate, which took place shortly before the internment of the majority of the University Staff, it was further decided to award war-time degrees to the following 13 members of the final year class who would normally have expected to graduate in June 1942:\n\nThe Secretary,\n\nCheung Ah Chee\n\nKung Kwok King\n\nLee Sui Luen\n\nHans Raj\n\nYeoh Seow Tiung\n\nDavid Yue Pui Lum\n\nPhyllis Woo Poh Yee (Miss)\n\nLatifa Gnows (Miss)\n\nKwan Kui Lun\n\nLeow Oy Chean\n\nTo Shiu Yuen\n\nYip Tai Hing\n\nWong Sau Haan (Miss)\n\nGeneral Medical Council,\n\nHallam Street,\n\nLondon, W.\n\nSpecial", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-591-2 Hong Kong University- award of degrees to medical students whose studies were interrupted by war.... 26-2-1943 - 19-12-1945.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 577783, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-591-2 Hong Kong University- award of degrees to medical students whose studies were interrupted by war.... 26-2-1943 - 19-12-1945", "page_number": 208, "title": "CO129-591-2 Hong Kong University- award of degrees to medical students whose studies were interrupted by war.... 26-2-1943 - 19-12-1945", "content_text": "210\n\n3rd Year\n\nChai Kim Swee Chan Kam Fai Chan Kwong Fook Chan Qui Lam Cheung Mung Wa Choa Wing Ip Chou Pak Hang Fung Kam Tat Ho Hung Kin Hooi Cheng Weng Ip Yee Kwong Hoi Kit Lim Chin Lang Lim Kee Loo Low Nan Hang Mok Hing Yiu Ng Sui Ching Oh Lock Meng A.J.

The two emissaries were stated to have gone to CANTON on 29th October and to have seen General CHAN FA KWAI, who promised to submit the matter to the Chinese Central Government. At the same time, General OS SAI LAI was requested to negotiate with the HONG KONG Government. It is noted that on 4th November KUMMING radio commented that the prices being offered the land-owners as compensation for the loss of their land were based on the cost of land in 1890, and also reported the despatch of the two emissaries to CANTON.\n\nThe area affected by the building scheme is 690 acres of paddy, and the population to be evicted from their houses approximately 1,400. The experimental air strip will be 100 feet by 900 feet.\n\n(iii) Successor to Mr. SHAM CHIT SON as head of the HONG KONG branch of the KUOMINTANG, Mr. CHAN SU has reported to the Chief Civil Affairs Officer and will be accepted at Government House as the officially accredited representative of the Chinese Central Government. Matters which it was previously anticipated would be referred to emissaries from CANTON will now be handled instead by Mr. CHAN SU, who is empowered to deal with them. His official position should help to a great extent to clarify and put on a satisfactory basis the affairs of the KUOMINTANG in the Colony.\n\n(iv) In the belief that the Commando guards at TAI HO SHAN had already been removed, a party of 30 looters paid a visit to that place on 31st October, only to find that they had arrived 24 hours too soon. As a result, 15 of them were arrested after a brush with the Commandos.\n\n(v) An advance party of Commandos have established themselves at PAK-A on LUNG SHUN WAN CHAU (HIGH Island). They report all houses to be in a filthy condition and the water supply poor.\n\n(vi) Two Chinese constables have been convicted and sentenced for accepting bribes from two Chinese women who attempted to enter WITFIELD Barracks to give food and clothing to Japanese internees. No political motive appears to have been involved in the case.\n\n(vii) Another case has occurred of a Japanese male being harboured by two Chinese females in the Colony. The story behind the headlines in this instance is that the two women were acting on the instructions of a Chinese named HUNG YUN, formerly employed by the Japanese as a detective, and whose whereabouts are known to the Civil Police. The latter are taking appropriate action in regard to HUNG YUN. Meanwhile, NISHI KORA (the harboured Japanese) reposes safely behind bars.\n\n4.\n\nPIRACY.\n\nOn 31st October it was reported that a junk manned by 15 pirates had been seen in the area of TAP NUN (GRASS Island) robbing passenger boats running between TAI PO and Chinese territories. On 28th October the pirates had captured some civilians and nailed them in the hold of a junk, afterwards throwing dynamite into the hold and thus killing the occupants.\n\nAt the same time, information was received that a further attack by the same band of pirates might be made on the village of LAI CHEE CHONG and other inadequately-garrisoned villages. A Commando patrol was accordingly despatched to LAI CHEE CHONG and no incidents have so far been reported.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-592-6 Reports on current situation- including weekly intelligence reports 18-9-1945 - 20-12-1945.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 579552, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-592-6 Reports on current situation- including weekly intelligence reports 18-9-1945 - 20-12-1945", "page_number": 94, "title": "CO129-592-6 Reports on current situation- including weekly intelligence reports 18-9-1945 - 20-12-1945", "content_text": "4.\n\n \n\n5.\n\nb.\n\n94\n\nThere are increasing indications of Chinese Communists endeavouring to retain undercover organizations to watch the activities of the Chinese armies referred to above. It is not anticipated that there will be armed resistance.\n\nGeneral S.K. YEE, at the time of his recent trip through the New Territories, crossed the border at SHUM CHUN and addressed representatives of the Communist forces. He informed them that they should lay down their arms and if they wished to continue fighting, to report to the 13th Army H.Q. for duty.\n\nPIRACY\n\nWATERS AROUND MACAO\n\n(1) A report has been received of mixed parties of Chinese and Japanese pirates operating from the LADRO GAL Islands in motor and sailing junks.\n\n(2) SANCHAU Island, previously a Japanese air base, is also reported to be the home of mixed parties of Chinese and Japanese pirates. It is believed that piracy from SANCHAU is being directed by KIN CHEE YIN and NG FAT TSAI, numbers of whose gang are also known to be out WOC KUM Island.\n\n(3) A Chinese who claims to be an assistant to the guerilla leader WATT YUEN CHAK has been operating from TAI HO on LA TA Island. He has been practicing extortion on junks sailing between HOI KONG and MACAO demanding \"protection fees\".\n\n(4) On September 2nd, 1945 a junk was attacked near the off MACAO, and taken by the pirates towards LAFTA Island. Intervention from MACAO, the junk successfully made LAPPA.\n\n(5) It was reported by a fairly reliable source on October 1st, 1945 that a gang of pirates, numbering about 60 to 70, is operating from an island opposite MACAO called \"MA SHAN\". About 10 rubber boats and one motor junk are used to rob passing boats and fishing kei in the early morning hours, the gang lying up in the hills during the daytime.\n\nGUERILLA FORCE\n\nFollowing upon the establishment of contact between a reconnaissance party of R.M. Commandos and the leader of the Chinese guerilla force in the area of the Eastern Peninsula, arrangements have been made for the Chinese withdrawal from, and the British occupation of, SAI KUNG and KATILUNG HA.\n\nCOMMUNICATIONS.\n\nThe KOWLOON-CANTON railway has been inspected from the air and, combined with other reports, it is now possible to give a fairly clear picture as regards its state. All bridges are intact, there are no breaks in the permanent way, and there are no blocks except for one landslide about 5 miles North of SHUM CHUN which, however, can be negotiated with care. Before the line can be put into regular service, it will be necessary to inspect carefully some of the bridges and certain sections of the line where the sleepers appear to be in bad condition. A good deal of rail-car traffic has been observed, and a week ago 2 American Officers came by train from CANTON to SHUM CHUN in a little over three hours.\n\n2.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-592-6 Reports on current situation- including weekly intelligence reports 18-9-1945 - 20-12-1945.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 579867, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-592-9 Future Policy in Hong Kong- Port Administration 13-1-1945 - 4-3-1946", "page_number": 34, "title": "CO129-592-9 Future Policy in Hong Kong- Port Administration 13-1-1945 - 4-3-1946", "content_text": "34\n\n62 To heikely the aft Tel.\n\n63 To GN.

Estimate for various Hong Kong services.\n\nI agree that token provision only for the airport seems appropriate, in the light of our present information. I have no comment on the £300 for the King Edward VII Scholarships.\n\nWe are at present without specific instructions on the policy to be applied in regard to Estimates and you will not, therefore, expect me to do more at this stage than take note of your intention to provide £50,000 in the draft Estimate on account of the University.\n\nYours sincerely\n\n(W.

Copies of these estimates will be found with C.D.W. Paper (d)2108 which was submitted to you with the Scheme on 8th August, 1951. Treasury reference is I.F.36/187/025.\n\nAs a result of the submission of these estimates schemes under the Colonial Development and Welfare Act to a total of £250,000 have been approved.\n\nIn the Colonial and Middle Eastern Services Vote we have so far provided a sum of £200,000 i.e. £150,000 in 1950-51 of which only £50,000 was issued and £150,000 in the current year.\n\nAccording to our information expenditure against this grant during 1950-51 amounted to £87,926 so that there was a short issue in that year of £37,926. For 1950/51 the estimate expenditure is £147,668 which is within £2,332 of the estimated provision. Quite clearly there is justification in issuing the present year's provision in full and in fact if the figures of estimated expenditure are realised this will leave the University with a deficit of some £35,000 as at 31st March 1952. This sum will have to be issued in 1952-53 together with the anticipated expenditure in that year making a total requirement for the year of £50,000 which represents the balance of the grant available. We are accordingly inserting this sum in the draft Colonial and Middle Eastern Services estimate now in course of preparation.\n\nAs regards the loan for the construction of an airport the position is that in the current year we made token provision of £10 only on account of the sum of £3,000,000 promised for this purpose.\n\nWhen the estimate for 1951-52 were prepared we had no clear indication as to when the work on the airport was likely to start or of the amount of expenditure likely to be involved during the course of the year. I am afraid that we are not in a much different position at the present time with regard to this matter. No definite plans to construct the airfield have yet been made. The position is that the Governor\n\nPage 9", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-624-1 Estimates- forecasts for the Treasury 1-10-1951 - 30-11-1951.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 598004, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-625-3 Hong Kong University- rehabilitation (1950) 1-1-1950 - 31-1-1951", "page_number": 166, "title": "CO129-625-3 Hong Kong University- rehabilitation (1950) 1-1-1950 - 31-1-1951", "content_text": "SOUTH CHINA MORNING POST, THURSDAY, MARCH 2, 1950.\n\nMONGKONG UNIVERSITY CONGREGATION\n\n(Continued from Page 3)\n\nWhatever idea in this very place, in the Colony of Hongkong.\" freedom to the less remember your University is always here to help you in your problems; use her as much in your post-graduate life as you did before.\n\nSome of you are destined to become leaders of your fellow men, others followers. In your lives we do not expect you to accept slavishly and blindly what you were taught here, but having been taught to think, to discern, to discriminate, and to reason, we are confident that you are equipped to choose your own way of life. May you live wisely, remembering always our creed, what of many other equally heroic restoration of the playing field ever our standard of learning, exploits performed in China; surely in this year of grace 1950, lads who fearlessly penetrated occupied Hongkong: who lived for months in the hills over-looking Kowloon, where one magnificent gift of $35,000 towards the pavilion by Mr and Mrs Leung Yew. By September next, 80 of our 180 women graduates will be able to live in the new hostel built through the generous gift of one million dollars by Sir Robert Ho Tung.\n\nHe then went on to tell the audience, which crowded this Great Hall, how he got the idea. He said that during his studies, while at the College of Medicine in Hongkong, more than 30 years previously, after his school work and lectures, after his book reading, he used to stroll the streets of Hongkong, it being known to only very few people. About the middle of 1942 we were visited by an officer of the R.A.F, who was planning a secret mission to the Netherland Indies and Malaya. At this stage of the war such missions had hitherto never been attempted in the Far East; they were in every sense of the word penetrating and hazardous unknown. One of the reasons for the visit of this officer was to recruit a dependable companion. He chose Lau Teng-kee, one of our undergraduates.\n\nAttainments\n\nNow what of our attainments in the training of good citizens? In practically every profession, in practically every walk of life, that humility is the essence of wisdom.\n\nLau knew full well the measure of paper which was a scarce and valuable commodity not couched in a completed form. It is therefore fitting that the new School of Engineering and Architecture building, that I shall be opening later this afternoon, should be named after him: thus his memory perpetuated.\n\nAlthough Dr Sloss' departure was a loss, we were very fortunate in securing the services of Dr Ride as his successor. Apart from his capabilities and personality, is the fact that he has been with the University for more than twenty years, and so knows all our aspirations.\n\nIt is very pleasing to have with us to-day, the Chancellor of the University of Malaya, the Right Hon. Malcolm MacDonald. I warmly welcome him. The University of Malaya was inaugurated on October 8, 1949, on which occasion I had the pleasure of sending a message of greeting to the Chancellor.\n\n\"I also express with the united hopes of the Hongkong University, which is the university of this British Colony that is mainly supported by the Colony, but the services it renders far beyond our small confines. It is uniquely situated at the door of China and thus it brings to the people of China the best that British and western culture can offer. Our doors are open to entrants from China, as well as from Hongkong and Malaya. We offer them our facilities freely and we ask for nothing in return. This is in accordance with the vision of our predecessors. If we succeed in carrying out our aim, we will have done something to foster a mutual appreciation between the inheritors of two of the world's most important cultures. (Applause).\n\nThere are two reasons why the University has made good progress. First and foremost, I would put the inspiring leadership given by the last Vice-Chancellor, Dr Sloss. Time and again he wanted to retire but at my urgent request he carried on.\n\nThe second reason, why such good progress has been made, is that the University has many friends not only amongst the alumni, but also amongst the citizenry of Hongkong. Most public life in this Colony, you will find our graduates playing an ever increasingly responsible and honoured part.\n\nIn closing, I feel I cannot do better than quote the message of another Vice-Chancellor, Sir John Medley, at the University of Melbourne in 1940.\n\n... my wishes which are the University's wishes to you are particularly important, with the University's wishes to you are in the customary very welcome increase mere fifty miles, He thought of liberally to found and maintain the beautiful streets, the artistic parks and wondered why and faith is more than justified incredible difficulty of landing was stolen from its hiding place success and prosperity in all your There are two reasons why the University made good progress.\n\nWhat Better Proof? What better proof could one desire than this of the statement I made a few minutes ago that a University is something more than a mere teaching institution. It was not what he was taught here that made Dr Sun Yat-sen \"give up his profession of curing men and spend his time curing his country\": but it was the effect on him of the life he shared with others, his teachers and his fellow students, in a British institution of learning in a British Colony.\n\nAs Father Ryan said in his talk before the Rotary Club last November, the youth of our educational institutions is \"the most important export of our Colony.\"\n\n(2) There must be 101s Chinese who are shareholders of the company. I could easily find out what percentage of them are Chinese by looking at the shareholders' returns in their file with the Registrar or availing myself of section 98 (1) of the Companies Ordinance of 1932. But I don't care to take the trouble at the present. Since the Chinese are the main sufferers, they should make their voice heard at the shareholders' meeting.\n\nM. H.

E. the Governor said: What a period of tragedy the world has gone through since the last Congregation nine years ago. Although I say this in no sense of self-pity, we in Hongkong were certainly one of the major sufferers. Even to-day in this hall we can see the ruin and devastation of war.\n\nThe University had to be abandoned physically in 1941, its spirit carried on and the light of learning was not extinguished. This was only made possible by the kindness of our friends in China, who took in some of our students, and thus enabled them to continue with their studies.\n\nThe progress at first seemed slow, and as late as 1948, that is only two years ago, I said in an address to the Court that the University was then in the position that it was in 1916.\n\nPerhaps I was unduly pessimistic, for in fact the progress that has been made is quite remarkable. As an instance of this might quote the figures of the number of students. In 1941 there were 572; in 1948 507; in 1949, 620. This number for 1949 represents the complete faculties and Medicine, but still lacks two years of medical students.\n\nOur Medical Faculty this and next year, our undergraduate strength will be at least 800.\n\nThanks To Government\n\nWe acknowledge with grateful thanks the help of the Hongkong Government. This University is already been filled, and it is proposed that Government department; we have no claim for financial help that have no claim for financial help.\n\nMay I in conclusion now say a few words to those who are the youth of to-day's ceremony, our Graduands. It has always been a matter of wonderment and of not a little amusement, to me, that when our Chancellor declares the Congregation open for the conferring of degrees, the story of the exploits in Malaya of one of our former undergraduates, Lim Bo-seng, loyalty; as long as we maintain your graduation is but the end of one stage in the school; but there is a difference. While here you have had the protection and guidance of your academic mother but now you are equipped to stand alone. Never be victims of such evil to stoop so low but will act Courageously and with courage and resolution.\n\nDAYA KHANRA.\n\nNanette Ho Kam Tim-cheng.

One of the more pressing during 1950 was the great increase in the population of Hong Kong which rose during the year to over 2,300,000 the highest in the history of the Colony. This, of course, caused a pressing demand for housing and in this connection I am particularly happy to hear that Mr. U Tat Chee has set an excellent example by sponsoring a non-profit making housing scheme.\n\nProgress in Education\n\nI would also like to congratulate Mr. U Tat Chee on his appointment to the Court of Hong Kong University, and I am pleased to note that the University are going ahead with their rehabilitation programme and that His Majesty's Government's grant of £500,000 will materially assist in this work. The rehabilitation of the University is but one aspect of Hong Kong's remarkable recovery in the field of education in which the number of children attending school has risen from a mere 4,000 in 1945, to well over 150,000 in 1950 with further expansion being provided for. Other encouraging and creditable signs of the great step forward is the progress in the provision of essential social services.\n\nIn view of Hong Kong's position as perhaps the greatest distributing centre for a large number of other countries in the Far East, it was gratifying to see the November trade figures standing at an all-time record of HK$869.9 million. Since then, owing to fresh difficulties caused by the international situation the trade figures have not remained at this high level. In February imports fell by 23.6% compared with the January imports of HK$345.9 million and exports went down by 17.6% compared with HK$448.1 million in January, although I notice that exports rose in March to HK$556.7 million and imports to HK$535.1 million. I know that there are difficulties now over raw materials for some of the industries, and that it will call on the skill and energy of the business community to surmount them.\n\nI would like to assure you as representatives of that community that we in Great Britain realise your difficulties, which we of course are also meeting. We realise your essential needs for raw materials and we are doing our very best to assist you to obtain them. I hope that your own efforts to secure chemicals and metals and other raw materials and consumer goods in this country will be successful.\n\nDespite the unsettled conditions in the Far East I am glad to note that Hong Kong sets an example of courage and common sense in a difficult period, and I wish to repeat the assurances that have been made before that His Majesty's Government have every intention of discharging their responsibilities in Hong Kong both as regards defence and the welfare of the population.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-629-2 Arrangements for the reception of the Hong Kong delegation to the British Industries Fair 1-4-1950 - 31-7-1950.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 600370, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-629-2 Arrangements for the reception of the Hong Kong delegation to the British Industries Fair 1-4-1950 - 31-7-1950", "page_number": 16, "title": "CO129-629-2 Arrangements for the reception of the Hong Kong delegation to the British Industries Fair 1-4-1950 - 31-7-1950", "content_text": "SPEECH AT THE LUNCHEON IN HONOUR OF THE HONG KONG DELEGATION TO THE BRITISH INDUSTRIES FAIR\n\n2nd MAY, 1951\n\nYou 169\n\nI am grateful to Mr. Chairman, for inviting me here today and giving me this opportunity to welcome such a strong contingent from Hong Kong to the British Industries Fair, and I am glad to see that this is Mr. U Tat Chee's third visit to the United Kingdom in this connection and this makes me believe that these visits prove genuinely useful and I hope enjoyable to our visitors.
