Yes, and to British India; I would not separate British Burmah exclusively.\n\nThere is a difficulty in following criminals from British Burmah, is there not, to Siam; do not cases occasionally occur of the escape of criminals into Siam?--I have not heard of any particular case of that kind.\n\nDo you think that work of that kind could be decreased; it has been stated here that there has been a somewhat extravagant interpretation of this doctrine in the case of the inhabitants of British Burmah?--Well, it would be a very great comfort if the work of looking after these men could be taken away from the consul altogether, because it is a terrible responsibility having to give an opinion about cases which happen hundreds of miles away from you, and of which you cannot get any very satisfactory evidence. I do not see how we are to avoid doing it with our Treaty.\n\nThe officers of the consulate are occasionally sent great distances up country, are they not, in these cases?--No, they were not in my time; I have never known of an officer being sent beyond 60 miles about a case.\n\nBut the labour involved in these cases to the consulate is very considerable?--Very considerable, and the anxiety still greater.\n\nDo you know whether it was the custom of other Powers for their consuls to act as agents there?--In some cases the consuls were merchant consuls, trading consuls, and in that case they might of course be agents for anything; the Lloyd's agent in Siam was a merchant.\n\nViscount ENFIELD: Is the cost of living in Siam very great?--It is great as compared with England, because there are certain luxuries which a man must have in a climate of that sort; I mean to say that whereas a young man in England can live very well for £150, out in Siam it is impossible for a student interpreter to live decently on the pay that is given to him.\n\nMR. HARPER in his evidence before the Committee said that H.M. Consuls often acted as agent for Lloyd's, and that the commissions paid on wrecks were at times valuable, he might instance the case £3,000 paid on one ship at Batavia.\n\nCHINA SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH COMPANY (LIMITED).\n\nThe second ordinary general meeting of the shareholders was held on the 13th inst.; Mr. JOHN PENDER, M.P., in the chair. The Secretary (Mr. T. Fuller) read the notice convening the meeting, and the minutes of the last meeting, which were then confirmed; the report of the directors, given in our last issue, was taken as read.\n\n[Nov. 18, 1872.]\n\nThe CHAIRMAN stated that since the opening of the line it had worked in every way satisfactorily; there had been one or two interruptions, but of a slight character. In regard to one which occurred at Saigon in shallow water, they had the satisfaction, in repairing the cable, that it was as perfect as on the day it had been laid down.\n\nIt was also a matter for congratulation to perceive that, even taking into account the low rate of charges that had rated for a considerable period of the company's operations, the result had been about as good as that attained by any submarine line during the first year of its working. It was proposed to pay the shareholders a dividend of 8 per cent. for the whole year.\n\nThe directors entered into arrangements with the Great Northern, by which that company was to receive interest at 5 per cent. on the capital, and the cable to be repaired by them; that all above that sum was to be equally divided; and, although the traffic had been interrupted, the amount received last year from that source was £4,752.\n\nHe thought that at some future time it would be necessary to call upon the shareholders to find the money to lay another cable in conjunction with the Great Northern, as the present cable seemed to be not quite so good as that company had expected it to be. He also believed that an alternate line was necessary to give the public the accommodation they required, and at the same time to secure themselves a fair return.\n\nThis company had put up its tariff to £6, whilst the Great Northern Company were working at £4 10s., but he thought that they were getting as full a share of the traffic as those who went to the expense of telegraphing their messages by both routes.\n\nMr. Forde, a shareholder, said he regretted that the Board had any idea of laying a cable between Hong Kong and Shanghai in conjunction with the Great Northern Company. Such a step would be much in the interests of that company, but against theirs. He must very earnestly urge on the directors the policy of amalgamating with the other companies; a low tariff was only to be obtained by amalgamation. The working expenses of this company—£16,000 on earnings of £85,000—were enormous, and the salaries paid were too high.\n\nMr. HOLMES agreed with Mr. Forde as to the Shanghai line, and he considered the £1,838 for the Agnes repairing ship was excessive, and a contract should be made for the repairs.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN, in reply to these remarks, said that the laying of the cable to Shanghai was merely foreshadowed, but if done, it must be in conjunction with the Great Northern in good faith, according to the bargain made. The policy of amalgamation was quite approved by the Board; but those things required time, and could not be carried out so speedily as Mr. Forde seemed to think.\n\nWith regard to the expenses, he read a statement of salaries, &c., at each port, and explained that the expenses of living were so high at the stations that the salaries of proper officers must be in proportion. The expense for repairs and maintaining cable would be reduced.\n\nThe directors had no objection to half-yearly meetings. The report was then put and carried, as also the re-election of the Baron d'Erlangen as a director, and two auditors. The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors.\n\nTHE JAPANESE AT MESSRS. ALLAN, RANSOME AND CO.'S.\n\nYesterday the Minister for Agriculture, with members of his suite, together with American and English employers of labour, visited the works of Messrs. Allan, Ransome, and Co., in King's-road, Chelsea, to view some newly-invented labour-saving machinery of remarkable construction and power.\n\nThe strikes of workmen in the building trades, the increased cost of production in the carpentry and joinery branches of those trades, and the difficulties caused to employers by the restrictions of Trades Unions, have each had their share in directing the attention of engineers to find the means of meeting the pressure caused by the contracted amount of available skilled labour; and the machines exhibited yesterday were in every way so perfect that it is not easy to see how hand labour will hold its own.\n\nThe first machine inspected was a portable saw frame. Any one who has seen the old saw-pits, where the \"top sawyer\" and the \"bottom sawyer\" laboured from morning to night and day after day in cutting a log into planks, would be greatly astonished to see this comparatively small machine, attended only by one man, cut up the body of a large oak into fourteen planks at once, it having twelve saws, which cut through the whole bulk of wood in something less than half an hour.\n\nA mortising machine, the invention of Mr. Richards, of Philadelphia, was set to work, and accurately and cleanly cut in a few moments mortises which would have taken a workman hours.\n\nA moulding machine, for cutting mouldings, did in a minute thirty-five feet of work, which would have taken a skilled workman many hours, and this work could apparently be done by a boy.\n\nIn what was called a \"general joining machine\" there was apparently no limit to the work to be done, the one machine cutting mortises, shaping blocks, planking, carving out banisters, and turning in a few minutes a plain block of wood into a perfectly carved piece of work.\n\nAnother machine, exceedingly small and unpretentious, was shown to be capable of planing any sort of work, oval or flat, and at the same time a revolving chisel cut mortises with celerity and accuracy.\n\nA very fine piece of machinery is one which cuts raised or recessed panels, in other words, which can cut the sunk or raised ornamental work in wood now so highly prized and so dearly paid for, as the best and most skilled.\n\nBy another machine, an American invention, but improved by the Messrs. Ransome, a door can be finished—that is, cleanly sand-papered on both sides—in three minutes.\n\nThe planing and trying-up of work, or what would be properly called the trueing \"up, by which is meant the nice work of making blocks of wood exactly like one another, in order to hand labour, is, by one of Ransome's machines, done at once and perfectly in a few minutes, all the blocks, of whatever size, being placed together and turned out as like as peas, and mathematically correct in every respect.\n\nA band saw machine, by which both fine and rough work was cut in all sorts of shapes, and a saw cutting machine, with F. Ransome's patent stone, were among the other works shown.\n\nWith one or two of these machines an employer with a man and a boy as staff, could turn out as much work as twenty or thirty men, and never be troubled about the nine hours, eight hours, or any other movement.\n\nThe remarkable fact about these machines is that they are not limited to the pattern, shape, or character of wood, for the knives are changed in a few minutes, and whatever the class of work required, it can be done at once.\n\nThe inspection lasted for several hours, and all the visitors expressed themselves delighted with these new machines, some of which are to go to the Vienna Exhibition.\n\nNAVAL AND MILITARY.\n\nThe screw steamer Scotland, Captain James, sailed from Queenstown on the 12th inst. for Singapore and Hong Kong, via the Suez Canal.\n\nThe following are the details of the officers and men who proceed in the Scotland to strengthen the garrisons in the Straits Settlements and Hong Kong:-To Singapore, Captain Battye, Lieutenant Armstrong, and 79 men of the 10th regiment and 10 men of the Royal Artillery.\n\nTo Hong Kong, Captain Stone, with 294 men and 19 women and children of the 80th Regiment; an armourer sergeant, a sergeant, and 10 men of the Royal Artillery: and 3 men of the Royal Engineers.\n\nMajor Watson, of the Ceylon Rifle Regiment, Captain Hewson, 73rd Foot, and Lieutenant Chevera, of the 73rd Foot, proceed to Hong Kong on duty with the draft of the 80th Regiment, and will afterwards return to Ceylon.\n\nThe medical officer in charge of the troops is Staff Surgeon O'Halloran, who will, after their arrival at their respective stations, proceed to Penang.\n\nThe Mosquito, composite gunboat, 400 tons, and 360-horse power, which was commissioned at Devonport on the 30th ult., for service on the China station, by Lieutenant-Commander William Henry Bond, was moved into Plymouth Sound on the 9th inst., has made the customary trial of her engines, and has embarked her supply of ammunition preparatory to sailing.\n\nLieutenant-Colonel Joseph H. F. H. Hudson, Grenadier Guards, is to be confirmed in his appointment of military secretary to General Henry Renny, in command of the forces in Ceylon.\n\nMONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.\n\nThe suspension of Messrs. Bowles Bros. and Co., noticed in our last issue, has caused the stoppage of the \"Joint National Agency,\" a company formed for general financial and agency purposes in connection with the Japanese now in Europe, amongst whom we are sorry to say are the agents of the Japanese Government, who have lodged Government funds in the hands of the Company.\n\nJudging from the following circular, it seems that the company is utterly crushed, and will be dissolved.\n\n446, Strand, London, 9th November, 1872.\n\nSIR.—With the greatest regret, and by order of the Board of Directors, I have to inform you that in consequence of the sudden and unexpected suspension of payment of one of the bankers of this company, the firm of Messrs. Bowles Brothers and Co., this company has also found it necessary to suspend payment.\n\nIn order at once to secure the assets of the company its immediate winding up has been determined upon, and with this view an extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders will be held here at two o'clock in the afternoon, on Tuesday week, the 19th inst., when a resolution will be submitted to the effect that it has been proved to the satisfaction of the company that it cannot, by reason of its liabilities, continue its business, and that it is advisable to wind up the same.\n\nI am, Sir, your obedient servant,\n\nWALTER H. FARRA, Secretary.\n\nFollowing closely on the failure of Joshua, of Singapore, we have telegrams announcing the stoppage of Chang \"Tee, Watseng and Co., and Absoon and Co., both Chinese firms of importance in the Straits and Saigon trade, with heavy liabilities to European firms.\n\nThe mail also brings advices of the failure and arrest for fraud of A. Velge, a commission merchant at Singapore, by which the banks will also lose.\n\nMessrs. Joshua Brothers and Co., of Great Winchester-street, desire it to be stated that their firms, together with the firms of Joshua Brothers, Melbourne, and Joshua Brothers, Mauritius, are in no way related to or connected with the firm of Joshua Brothers, of Singapore, whose suspension has been announced.\n\nCorrespondence from Shanghai by the last two mails has been very gloomy, and failures are expected before the end of the year, notwithstanding the assistance given here to the Silk market by a combination.\n\nBar Silver has again declined, and the nearest quotation we can give is 59d. per oz., at which rate some small parcels have been sold; the market is weak, and a further slight reduction may be looked for.\n\nThe Bank of Holland has decided to buy no more silver at any price. It has hitherto bought silver at 1.104.65 per Dutch pound, and has not varied the price for years.\n\nBANK AND MISCELLANEOUS SHARES.\n\nTELEGRAPH COMPANIES.\n\n£10\n\nChartered Bank Ind., Aust., and China\n\nAll\n\n59 to 54\n\n13 to 15\n\nAll\n\n23 to 25\n\n10\n\n1 to 15\n\n58 to 60\n\nAll\n\nJOINT STOCK BANKS.\n\n£10\n\nAgra Bank\n\n25\n\nBank of Egypt\n\n20\n\n45\n\nChartered Merc. of India and China\n\n20\n\nCity Bank\n\n+14\n\n1.\n\n100\n\nColonial Bank\n\n500fr.\n\nComptoir D'Escompte of Paris...\n\n2291\n\n100\n\nHong Kong and Shanghai Bank\n\n[Imperial Bank\n\n20\n\n28 to 29\n\n50\n\nLondon and County\n\n20\n\n69 to 58\n\n50\n\nLondon Joint Stock\n\n15\n\n48 to 47\n\n100\n\nLondon and Westminster\n\n20\n\n67 to 62\n\nOriental Bank Corporation\n\nAll\n\n$1 to 42\n\n50\n\nUnion of London...\n\n43 to 44\n\n10\n\nBritish Indian Extension\n\nAll\n\n34 to 144\n\n13\n\nBritish Australian...\n\nAn\n\nA to 99\n\n30\n\nChina Submarine.\n\n10 to 10\n\n10\n\nEastern Telegraph Company\n\n10 to 10\n\n10\n\nGreat Northern\n\nAll\n\n10 to 114\n\n25\n\nIndo-European\n\nAll\n\n14 to 30\n\n30\n\nMediterranean Extension\n\nAll\n\n£ to 7\n\n12\n\nTelegraph Construction Company\n\n£24 to 23\n\n60\n\nIndiarubr.,Gutta Percha &Tel.

Shepard, Harrison, and Rehden's Circular says--\n\nDuring the past few days buying, except at auction without reserve (sales of China or Indian growth taking place daily), has been all but suspended, owing to the disturbance in the money market and the advance in the Bank rate, which is now 7 per cent.; arrivals have also been on an exceedingly large scale; buyers therefore act with extreme caution.\n\nAdvices from China, as to ultimate total shipments, state, \"all will depend on prices paid for common Congou;\" as regards this market, there is no encouragement to ship such here; demand has been \"off\" this class for some time, and late imports of what may be fairly classed as \"good common\" are not saleable over 9d.\n\nThe export trade to all quarters has been inactive.\n\nThe public sales of China have comprised 16,117 packages, of which week amount to 8,211,346 lbs., against 3,161,038 lbs. last year.\n\n14,449 packages have been sold without reserve.\n\nThe deliveries for the sales have been...\n\nBlack-Red leaf: No change as to prices for siftings and leafy; good flavoury kinds at 1s. to 1s 1d. have been scarce, but a better selection is offering from ships now discharging; Souchong and Kaisow kinds at 1s. 3d. to 1s. 5d. offer good value; medium to fine at 1s. 6d. to 2s. are hard of sale; finest sells in small lots at 2s. 1d. to 2s. 6d. per lb.\n\nPakling kinds: No demand.\n\nTayshau leaf: Fall supplies are in course of landing; a few sales at 10d. to 1s, for good common and fair.\n\nBlack leaf: In low and ordinary common there have been occasional small sales at 6d. to 7½d.; fair to good common we quote at 8d. to 10d. per lb., and difficult of sale; preferable kinds 1s. 7d, we make rather lower; fine and finest 1s. 8d. to 2s. 2d., limited at 1s. to 1s. 2d. are scarce; medium to good medium at 1s. 3d. to 1s. 6d. are...\n\nSouchong: Few transactions at no alteration in value.\n\nScented Tea, Canton kinds--Caper: There has been fair trade doing, as late good common to fair 10d. to 1s., good to medium 1s. 1d. to 1s. 4d, fine imports are of desirable quality, many parcels being strong scented; 1s. 5d. to 1s. 8d., finest 1s. 9d. to 2s. per lb.\n\nScented Orange Pekoe: Limited supplies, but sufficient for present wants, Foochow growth being in full supply, and selling at a moderate scale of prices.\n\nGreen Large sales by auction without reserve; the imports, ex Glenroy and Ajax, over 800,000 lbs., offering a varied selection, chiefly of Peling Suey leaf, which has sold at an average 1d. per lb. decline, No. 1 Gunpowder selling down to 2s. 11d., other grades in proportion.\n\nSlogane and Fychow leaf, with the comparatively small supply, has been selling at extreme rates.\n\nCanton and Japan kinds: No change.\n\nSILK.\n\nMessrs.

(Before His Honour H. Q. Wing, Acting Chief Justice.) Saturday, 18th January, 1908\n\nTHE BIGAMY CASE.\n\nFrederick William Hanson was charged with having, on 14th July, 1890, at Holy Trinity Church, Upper Chelsea, County of Middlesex, married Minnie Weston, and at the Church of St Francis Xavier, Hong-kong, on 1st December, 1900, married Helen Emile Lucas, his former wife, Minnie Weston, being then still alive.\n\nHe pleaded guilty.\n\nHis Lordship-Have you any remarks to make Mr Attorney.\n\nThe Attorney General (Hon. W. Meigh Goodman, K.C.),-I understand the prisoner desires to make a statement to the Court, and I shall reserve my remarks till I have heard his statement.\n\nThe Prisoner, having been requested to make his statement, said he wished it to be thoroughly understood that not the slightest blame could be attributed to Miss Lucas or her friends in this matter at all. He admitted his marriage with his cousin at Holy Trinity Church, Chelsea, and, during a visit to his friends seven months afterwards, in July, 1891, he ascertained that, by marrying his cousin, he had practically married his own flesh and blood, and that the outcome of such marriages were invariably imbeciles or cripples.\n\nHis Lordship-What sort of cousin was she?\n\nPrisoner-She was my first cousin, my Lord.\n\nHis Lordship-There have been marriages of that class before. Go on.\n\nPrisoner, continuing, said that was what he was given to understand. Being disgusted at the way he had been treated and enticed into such a marriage, he sought legal advice and ascertained that, the marriage having taken place while he was a minor, and against the wish of his people, it was avoidable and could be set aside.\n\nHis Lordship-You got legal advice to that effect?\n\nPrisoner-Yes, sir.\n\nHis Lordship-I am glad to hear it.\n\nPrisoner, proceeding with his statement, said he at once communicated with his cousin and told her he was to take legal steps to set the marriage aside. After three days, she communicated with him asking him not to take this action for two reasons. The first was the terrible disgrace it would be to the whole of their friends, and the second was on account of the age and health of her mother, whom she was afraid the shock would kill. They both arranged then that he would not take legal action, but they were to thoroughly understand that they were to have no legal claim upon one another, and they were to discontinue all intercourse with one another. He might state that they both took a solemn oath and swore on the Bible that that was how they should act. That was how they lived for some years.\n\nHe brought her out here, always occupying different compartments, and he took her home again, and, while in Cork, they had bother again through his cousin opening one of his letters. He was in the Engineers then, and had fourteen years' service, during the last six years of which he was Company Sergeant Major, and had every prospect of rapid advancement and a good pension at the end of seven years after. He threw up the whole of that service with the intention of taking legal action to dissolve the marriage, but he was prevailed upon to let the action stop again on account of her mother.\n\nHe did not see his cousin again for seven months, when he wrote to her sister in London about some certificates he wanted. The answer he got was a visit from his cousin herself, who begged him to allow her to come back again simply as housekeeper on account of the bother she had had with her friends. This he did, and they both returned to London. He stayed with her sister for some two or three months, and again he left her. Further than that, he had had no dealings with her since, except two or three days before he left for Hongkong when he met her accidentally and told her he was proceeding to Hongkong, and that he should certainly get married and settle down. He also promised to set her up in business as soon as he could.\n\nHe arrived in Hongkong in November or December and sent her a sum of money with intimation that that was the last she would get from him. He got an answer to that and a request to inform her how she should account for his silence. He wrote to her and said he would send a telegram stating that he would resign his berth here and leave the Colony. He sent her that telegram towards the end of February. Knowing that that woman had been out here for three or four years, and had plenty of friends and was in the habit of communicating with these friends regularly, didn't it stand to reason that he should have more common sense than to go and get married again here secretly, or try to do so! He thoroughly understood and believed he had a perfect legal right to contract a second marriage and so did she, and he had not the slightest doubt but what she had all the way through believed he had a right to do so for two or three reasons.\n\nFirst, she quite agreed with him leaving Cork, and, when he met her in London, she raised no objection. And, when he wrote to her in December and told her that he was married, it was quite clear she evidently expected and agreed with it seeing she did not take any action at all until the end of last year. It was through nothing but a piece of jealousy and hatred on the part of people here and his brother-in-law in London that this affair had been brought out.\n\nAfter a pause, His Lordship asked Prisoner if he had anything more to say.\n\nPrisoner, resuming, said he thought that, after all he had suffered from beginning to end, having to be deprived of all the privileges of married life, and throwing up the whole of his service, and coming here and settling down and this case being brought against him, it had been pretty heavy punishment. Besides that, he had suffered over seven weeks' imprisonment in Victoria. He quite assured his Lordship that he had no intention of committing such a serious crime. He thoroughly believed and understood he had a perfect right to get married here without any fear.\n\nMoreover, he could tell his Lordship that, although this affair was mentioned three or four weeks before he was married in Victoria, he never attempted to start a defence, or leave the Colony.\n\nHis Lordship-So far as I see from the depositions, there is a witness here who swears you said your first wife was dead.\n\nPrisoner-That is what we agreed in the first place, my Lord.\n\nHis Lordship-That is all against your argument.\n\nPrisoner-That is what we agreed in the first place, when we agreed not to take any action against one another in the event of either marrying.\n\nThe Attorney General said he was quite unable to say how far the statement made by the prisoner was correct and true or not. He had the advantage that the wife, who was known in the proceedings as the first wife, was not here, and, of course, she might...\n\nPage 188", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-310 - Acting Governor Major Gen Gascoigne - 1902 [1-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 408068, "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": "CO129-338 - Public Offices & Others - 1906", "page_number": 532, "title": "CO129-338 - Public Offices & Others - 1906", "content_text": "Page 527\n\nDear Mr Chamberlain \n\n7, Cheyne Walk, \n\nChelsea, \n\n22nd Nov, 1895. \n\n527\n\nI write to ask you kindly to consider whether you can see your way to advising or directing the Government of Hongkong to permit the notes of the National Bank of China (Limited) now in circulation to be accepted as cash at the various Government offices in that Colony.\n\nThe Ordinance of March 1895 prevents any existing or future Bank, other than a Chartered Bank, from issuing notes in future; and prevents the National Bank of China from increasing its present very small note issue of $450,000. The National Bank of China is moreover bound to satisfy and does satisfy the Government requirements as to gazetting monthly the average amount of notes in circulation and of specie in reserve in Hongkong during the month.\n\nWhile, therefore, as regards its present note issue the National Bank of China is placed by the Colonial Government under the same restrictions and safeguards as the Chartered Banks, the Colonial Government refuses to the notes of the N. Bank of China the recognition which it nevertheless extends to those of the Chartered Banks viz. the Hongkong & Shanghai Bank, and the Chartered Bank of India Australia and China. I may add that the National Bank of China is the only non-chartered Bank which has a note issue.\n\nThis operates as an undeserved stigma on the notes of the National Bank of China; yet I feel convinced that if you were to enquire you would be satisfied that their notes are well received by the public and that it would be a public convenience that they should be received in the ordinary course of business at the various", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-338 - Public Offices & Others - 1906.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 419932, "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": "CO129-357 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1909 [7-9]", "page_number": 478, "title": "CO129-357 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1909 [7-9]", "content_text": "## Application for Promotion in the Colonial Service\n\n**C 52174**\n\nForm to be filled up by the Applicant himself, and returned to the Governor for transmission to the Secretary of State for the Colonies.\n\n### Name in full: Edwin Ralphs\n### Date of Application: August 123, 1909\n\n### Present Appointment: \nSecond master (Acting Old Master) Queen's College, & Director, Technical Institute, Hong Kong\n\n### Father's Name: Thomas Ralphs\n### Profession or Occupation: Accountant (TM Bollon, Lancashire)\n### Address: ...\n\nI certify that the above information is correct, and if deceased, his Name and Profession should nevertheless be given.\n\n### Day and year of Birth: Sept: 17, 1872\n### Place of birth: Bolton, Lancs\n### Whether single, married, or a widower: Married\n### Number of children: Sons, Daughters, Age respectively, Age last birthday 36\n\n### Education: \nMention the Schools or Colleges at which you received your education, professional as well as general, and give in each case the date of entry and leaving.\n\n- Central Science School, Bolton.

She always worked with great zeal and industry at theoretical lessons and from the beginning of her school career she showed special aptitude and enthusiasm for Games and Gymnastics, acting finally as a very efficient Captain of the School Hockey XI. After leaving school she went to Chelsea Physical Training College where she has had a markedly successful career.\n\nAs a senior member of Form VI and as Head of her House here she proved herself unfailingly loyal, trustworthy and reliable. She always had a well-developed sense of responsibility, and an innate gift for leadership, and exercised a splendid influence over younger girls whose liking and respect she readily commanded.\n\nShe was very public-spirited and took a keen interest in all school activities. She always took a leading part in Games and Sports, she was a Choir Leader and took active parts in School Dramatic Entertainments and in the Science Discussion Society.\n\nShe has a very bright and attractive personality, wide interests, a marked gift of enthusiasm and very sound principles. She is thoroughly refined in speech, manner, mind and appearance, and I have every confidence that she will make an ideal teacher and will go far in her profession.\n\n(Signed) N. C.

It is often implied that the 1898 Lease affects \n\nnothing more important than a stretch of agricultural and fishing country. But Boundary Street, Kowloon, which roughly marks the end of the Colony proper, runs through heavily built-up areas. Retrocession, simpliciter, of the New Territories would be something analogous to the retention of Westminster and the handing over to a foreign \n\nadministration of Chelsea. \n\n2. We are now almost precisely half-way through the \n\nninety-nine years of the Lease, and it is clear that from \n\nnow onwards the problems will increase by geometrical \n\nprogression. \n\n3. The terms of Crown Leases on the far side of the said frontier have all had to be for terms of years not exceeding the Lease, and the cramping of development of factory sites and the like must increase with the passage of each year. This is perhaps the most important of the immediate problems. \n\n4.
