The commencement of such an Institution already exists, in a School erected there, at the cost of nearly £3000, by a native of Clifton, the Rev. VINCENT STANTON, the Colonial Chaplain. This School Mr. STANTON proposes to transfer to the Bishop. The cost of necessary additions to the Building, and other expenses for the completion of the Institution, will be at least £5000; and a permanent Sustentation Fund will be also needed, in the form of Annual Subscriptions.\n\nSuch an Establishment will be also available for the TRANSLATION OF SUITABLE BOOKS into Chinese; an agency obviously, from the reading habits of the population, of immense importance for the propagation of the Gospel in China.\n\nAlthough the College is the main feature in the Bishop's plan, there are two other objects naturally connected with it, for which it is also hoped sufficient contributions will be raised, viz.:—\n\nA Translation Fund for printing Chinese Books and Tracts: and a Fund for the Employment of suitable Native Agents, as Colporteurs and Distributors of Christian Publications on the mainland of China; who may be expected to form the nucleus of a Native Ordained Ministry.\n\nCopies of Books, either of Theology or General Literature, will be very acceptable for a College Library.\n\nThe Committee feel the more confidence in earnestly recommending these plans to the support and sympathy of members of the Church of England; as they are the matured results of the Bishop of Victoria's personal inspection and enquiry during the time of his missionary residence in that country, in which he is about to undertake the duties of the high and sacred office, to which in God's providence he has been called.\n\nSubscriptions or Donations towards these important objects will be thankfully received by the Treasurers, Secretary, or by any Member of the Local Committee. Donations may be paid, if preferred, in successive annual instalments.\n\n3\n\nRight Hon. Lord Teignmouth (for the College Fund)\n\nJ. S. Harford, Esq. (ditto, in four Annual Instalments)\n\nRev. J.

With reference to flag officers, it is to be noted that when an inferior flag officer is sent to reinforce a superior officer on any station, the superior flag officer shall not share in any prize taken by the inferior flag officer before he has arrived within the limits of that station, unless the inferior officer shall have received some order directly from, and shall be acting in execution of some order issued by, such superior flag officer.\n\nNo chief flag officer quitting any station, except upon some definite urgent service, and with the intention of returning to the station as soon as such service is performed, shall share in any prize taken by Our ships or vessels left behind, after he has passed the limits of the station, or after he has surrendered the command to another flag officer appointed by the Admiralty to command in chief upon such station.\n\nAn inferior flag officer quitting any station (except when detached by orders from his commander-in-chief upon a special service, accompanied with orders to return to such station as soon as the service has been performed,) shall have no share in prizes taken by the ships and vessels remaining on the station, after he has passed the limits thereof. In like manner, flag officers remaining on such station shall not share in the prizes taken by such inferior officer, or by ships or vessels under his immediate command, after he has quitted the limits of the station, except he has been detached as aforesaid.\n\nA commander-in-chief or other flag officer belonging to any station shall not share in any prize taken out of the limits of that station by any ship or vessel under the command of a flag officer of any other station, or under orders from Our Commissioners of the Admiralty, unless such commander-in-chief or flag officer is expressly authorised by Our said Commissioners to take the command of that station in which the prize or prizes is or are taken, and shall actually have taken upon him such command.\n\nEvery commodore having a captain under him shall be esteemed a flag officer with respect to the twentieth part of prizes taken, whether he be commanding-in-chief or serving under command.\n\nThe first captain to the admiral and commander-in-chief of Our fleet, and also the first captain to any flag officer appointed to command a fleet of ten ships of the line or upwards, shall be deemed to be a flag officer for the purpose of sharing in prize, and shall be entitled to share therein as the junior flag officer of such fleet.\n\nAny officer on board any of Our ships of war at the time of capturing any prize or prizes, who shall have more commissions than one, shall be entitled only to share in such prize or prizes according to the share allotted to him by the above-mentioned distribution in respect to his superior commission or office.\n\nAnd with reference to other officers it is to be noted that a captain, commander, or other commanding officer of a ship or vessel, shall be deemed to be under the command of a flag, when he shall have received some order from, or be acting in the execution of some order issued by, a flag officer, whether he be, or be not within the limits of the station of such flag officer; and in the event of his being directed to join a flag officer on any station he shall be deemed to be under the command of such flag officer from the time when he arrives within the limits of the station, which circumstance is always to be carefully noted in the log book; and it shall be considered that he continues under the flag officer of such station, until he shall have received some order directly from or be acting in the execution of some order issued by some other flag officer, duly authorized, or by the Lord High Admiral, or Our Commissioners for executing the office of Lord High Admiral.\n\nAnd We hereby direct, that the captain, commander, lieutenant commanding, master commanding, or any other officer, duly commanding any ship, sloop or vessel of war, singly taken any prize from the enemy, that is to say, the officer actually in command at the time, shall have one eighth of remainder, or if there is no flag, one-eighth of the entire net proceeds, except that if the single capturing ship be a rated ship, having a commander under the captain, the commander shall take portion of the one-eighth part, as if he were commander of a sloop, according to the proportion hereinafter set forth; and if more than one commanding officer of the same rank of command shall be entitled to share as joint captors, the one-eighth shall be equally divided between them; but when captains, commanders, lieutenants commanding, and masters commanding respectively Our ships and vessels of war, and commanders under captains in rated ships shall share together in whatever variety of combination, the one-eighth shall be so divided into parts for a graduated apportionment as to provide for each captain receiving six parts; each commander of a sloop, or commander under a captain in a rated ship, three parts; and each lieutenant commanding, or master commanding, or other officer actually commanding a small vessel of war, two parts; which We hereby direct shall be the proportion in which they shall respectively share; commodores of the second class and field officers of marines, or of land forces serving as marines, doing duty as field officers, above the rank of major, to share as captains; and field officers of marines, or of land forces serving as marines, and doing duty in the rank of major, to share as commanders of sloops.\n\nAnd we further direct, that after provision shall thus have been made for the flag share (if any) and for the portion of the commanding officer or officers, and others, as above specified, the remainder of the net proceeds shall be distributed in ten classes, so that each officer, man, and boy, composing the rest of the complements of Our ships, sloops, and vessels of war, and actually on board at the time of any such capture, and every person present and assisting, shall receive shares or a share according to his class, as set forth in the following scale:\n\nFirst Class.

The fact that they have all a \"common Diocesan is or ought to be the chief outward bond of union \"between them. If two different episcopates were introduced side by side the two races would begin to think that they belonged \"to different churches, almost to different religions. We should for- \"get that in the Kingdom of God there is neither Jew nor Greek, \"circumcision nor uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bond, nor free, \"but Christ is all and in all\" (Col. iii. 11). Read \"Chinese\" for \"Indian\" in the above passage and we might almost suppose Bishop Cotton writing upon the Ningpo Missionary Bishopric.\n\n2. The scheme is at variance with all ecclesiastical rule and practice. \"One God, One Christ, One Bishop\" is the voice of the Church. (See Bingham's Antiq., Vol. I, p. 153). It had been thought that in a city where there were both Jewish and Gentile converts there might be a Jewish and a Gentile Bishop to govern each respectively but such a practice was regarded as contrary to the very spirit of the gospel of Christ, in whom \"both\" are \"one;\" and it was never sanctioned. No more in Ningpo may there be one Bishop for the Chinese pastors and their flocks, and another for European Missionaries and foreign residents.\n\n3. The state of the Ningpo Mission presents no special claim to be governed by its own Bishop. Last spring the total number of Communicants was 139. The Mission had not a native Deacon or Priest. Two only of the 13 Catechists were in the judgment of the Missionaries qualified, and these required special preparation for Holy Orders. The European Missionaries in the field were only three, two of whom I then admitted to the Priesthood. It is a promising healthy Mission, greatly needing support.\n\nIt is passing through no crisis whatever; it has no peculiar difficulties nor prominent features—except its very inadequate support, amounting almost to apparent neglect. Foochow has equal claim to the presence of a resident Bishop, and in some respects superior claims to Ningpo, supposing any such claims at all to exist. Is the Church Missionary Society prepared to advocate the consecration of a Missionary Bishop for every Mission? To make each Mission a Diocese! If so, the views of the Society have greatly changed on the subject of Episcopacy! China needs not more Bishops, but more Missionaries. In her 4 Missions, she has at this moment but 8 European Missionaries and 2 native Deacons in the field, however many names appear upon the list. When we can number 25 or 50 instead of 10 working Missionaries in China, it may be time to think of dividing the Diocese and multiplying Bishops. Then perhaps, but hardly yet I think, it might be time for the Committee to inform me, as the letter of the Hon. Clerical Secretary instructed me February 5, 1868, in reply to my proposal and that of the Missionaries for the ordination of Native Catechists at Ningpo and Foochow: \"The Committee reserve \"for the present their sanction to the ordination of native teachers in all\n\n(5)\n\nAll this is to assume at least that the missions in China occupy a far higher stage of progress than really is the case. We want work, not theory. We are, after all, but laying the foundation; there is very little yet to be seen above ground, even at Ningpo; though more at Foochow. But the building cannot rise without builders; and it is workmen China wants, not \"many masters.\"\n\n4. The consecration of a Missionary Bishop for Ningpo is not desired, even by the Missionaries of the Society. Their unbiased testimony was decisive of their feelings upon the subject. The Rev. James Vaughan, one of the most experienced of your Calcutta Missionaries who accompanied me as my Chaplain on my visitation, thus wrote from Ningpo to the Hon. Clerical Secretary: \"I feel very decidedly there is nothing as yet in the circumstances of the Mission \"here which makes the appointment of a Bishop necessary or even \"desirable. And it is a singular fact that of all the persons I have spoken to in China, Clergy and Laity, I have not met one in favor \"of the scheme proposed.\"\n\n5. Such an appointment is by no means requisite for the administration of the ordinances of the Church. With the ready help of the Missionaries I found no difficulty in addressing the Chinese congregations, and ministering either Holy Orders or the rite of confirmation. Nor have I found difficulty in examining the Catechists. And I believe that the occasional visit of the Bishop, rather than his continued residence, or even too frequent presence, will conduce to the healthier state, greater activity, freedom, and elasticity of the Mission. Here, let me observe, in correction of a prevalent mistake at home, a Ningpo-speaking Bishop would occupy in the other Missions the same position as that of a Bishop altogether unacquainted with the vernacular. At Shanghai, he could not officiate in the vernacular; if even at Hangchow, at present a branch of the Ningpo Mission. The idea of a Ningpo-speaking Bishop to officiate as a Chinese-speaking Bishop for China is an absurd fallacy. It would be as reasonable to speak of a Maltese-speaking Bishop to officiate for Europe or Africa!\n\nLastly, I believe that the consecration of the Senior Missionary of C.M.S. as Missionary Bishop at Ningpo would in fact deprive the native Church of an Episcopal superintendence worthy of the name. There is no endowment of the proposed See: the Bishop receives his annual salary as a Missionary of C.M.S., and as Missionary, he makes his annual report to the Committee and receives his instructions from them, to whom he is amenable. His allegiance must be a divided one, in part to the Archbishop and in part to a Committee! and if such divided allegiance, from the necessity of the case, is allowed on the part of Missionaries in reference to the Bishop of the Diocese in which they are licensed, it remains to be shown that such an ecclesiastical anomaly should be extended, at least without clear necessity,\n\n798", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-135 - Public Offices & Others - 1868.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 277509, "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": "CO129-135 - Public Offices & Others - 1868", "page_number": 809, "title": "CO129-135 - Public Offices & Others - 1868", "content_text": "W\n\n2\n\n804\n\nHoustrous yet I can conscientiously affirm that whilst I was Acting Col: Chaplain, I performed Services in St. John's Cathedral.

One of the children of our Queen has been residing in this house, and my immediate predecessor entertained here a son of the Emperor of Russia. But I believe the young princes would be themselves among the first to say that the man whose health I am now about to propose, is the most illustrious guest that ever sat at this table. I do not refer so much to the military achievements which will for ever rank the name of Ulysses Grant with those of Washington, Wellington, and Napoleon, but to those other achievements, indicated by Lord Beaconsfield, when he truly said that the future of civilization is indissolubly bound up in the future of the United States - those other achievements, accomplished by the toleration, resolute strength, and love of justice of the statesman, when the sword of the soldier was laid aside.\n\nTwo years have gone since he first saw, at Yok harbour, the shores of the British Empire. During that time he has visited the Old World, breathed the Scotch air of his ancestors, and passed on from point to point of Queen Victoria's dominions; and now, on leaving this Island and crossing the Pacific to his own home, he is about to part with that Empire throughout the whole of which he has been received with one long ovation of respect and affection. As the Queen's representative, and in the name of every one in this Colony, I thank him for giving us this opportunity of showing him that we all appreciate his character and career.\n\nWill you forgive me, ladies and gentlemen, if I presume to add that there are one or two personal reasons also why it affords me peculiar pleasure to see General Grant at my table. During the whole of those ever-memorable years, from the day when he drilled his company of volunteers at Galena, to the capture of Richmond and the surrender of the rebel army, I was in a small way mixed up in public affairs in England, as a member of that assembly the power of which, for good or evil, is not confined within the bounds of England's Sovereignty. It is now a matter of history that in both Houses of the British Parliament there were friends and foes of Freedom, but we may recall with pride the fact that two men so diverse in person and disposition and party relations as John Bright and Benjamin Disraeli, were sagacious enough to know that the honour of their own Country and the welfare of the World were associated with the cause for which Ulysses Grant was contending.\n\nWhilst Bright was repairing the blunders of one or two eminent men of the Liberal party, the great Conservative Chief was, to my own personal knowledge, labouring night and day to counteract unreasoning prejudice amongst his own followers, and it is ever to me a source of intense satisfaction that, though in a very humble way no doubt, I was one of those members of the House of Commons who loyally supported his prudent and patriotic policy.\n\nBut this is not the only personal reason that is present to my mind to-night. I am a citizen of Cork. I come from that corner of the Old World, nearest, and not less dear, to the United States; and on behalf of my fellow citizens I now assure General Grant that in no part of the civilized globe would he have received a heartier welcome, if he had honoured us with a visit, than in my native city.\n\nI now invite you to drink his health, and will ask you not to forget the charming lady at my right, and her family; for, within the last few minutes, a telegram has reached them from London, announcing the birth of a grand-child, so that General Grant, though still comparatively a young man, younger indeed to-day than Washington when he first became President, has, as a grandfather, added another little link to unite the two countries together. I give you, with all my heart, the health of General Grant.\n\nGeneral Grant, in reply, said:\n\nI am very grateful to you for your kind address, to which I would be happy to respond, but there is so much personal and flattering to myself that I find it impossible. It is only a continuance of the kindness that I have... \n\nPage 334", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-184 - Governor Hennessy - 1879 [1-5].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 303748, "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": 340, "title": "CO129-184 - Governor Hennessy - 1879 [1-5]", "content_text": "received not only in England, but in India, and in the British colonies; wherever, in fact, I have met Englishmen, I have met nothing but courtesy, hospitality, and good will to myself and my country. As you have said, I am about to leave the British and pass into the Chinese Empire. I have met no gentlemen so kind as the gentlemen of England. For this reception, more especially for the reception in Hongkong, I am grateful, as I know my friends and countrymen at home are grateful for the kindness that I have been honoured with during the last two years. I do not know that I can say anything better, nor anything which is nearer to my heart, now that I am leaving the British Empire, than to ask you all to unite in this sentiment: The perpetual friendship and alliance of the two great English-speaking nations of the world-England and America.\"\n\nThe General's toast was drunk by all the guests upstanding. Soon after, the ladies retired to the large drawing room, and at ten o'clock General Grant, the Governor, and the Aide-de-Camp, with Mrs Grant and Mrs Hennessy, proceeded to the vestibule, where every person on arrival was received and presented to the General by the Governor. These presentations lasted for more than an hour.\n\nThe guests on arriving were met in the hall by the Governor, and were presented to His Excellency by Major Palmer, A.D.C.; the Governor presented his guests to General Grant; Mr C. V. Creagh presented them to Mrs Hennessy, by whom they were introduced to Mrs Grant.\n\n## The Reception\n\nThe Government House grounds were brilliantly illuminated. On both sides of the numerous walks, slight bamboo frames had been erected, and cords, invisible to the eye unless carefully looked for, ran from one to the other all the way round, one cord three feet, another six, from the ground. Every four feet or so a Chinese lantern was suspended from the cords, these being fixed alternatingly on the high and low line. The effect was brilliant and beautiful and striking in the extreme, and the large company seemed greatly to prefer roaming about amid those thousand lights to staying in the Reception rooms. The Governor and Mrs Hennessy walked round frequently amid their numerous guests, His Excellency with Mrs Grant, and General Grant with Mrs Hennessy. The American Star, a large design in gas, on the north side of Government House, was greatly admired. The fairy-like beauty of the scene could scarcely have been enhanced. The lovely dresses of the ladies, the bright and varied uniforms of the officers of different nationalities present, the delightful music of the band, the merry laughter coming from various groups in different portions of the grounds, altogether made up a pleasing, lively and beautiful scene. It was not till nearly midnight that the company began to thin, and by a few minutes after that hour the guests had departed, the visitors were indoors, the lamps \"burnt low, and silence and darkness again assumed their sway. The gathering was in every way most successful, and every one seemed heartily to enter into the spirit of the occasion, and honour the General they had been invited to meet.\n\nThe following programme was performed by the band of Her Majesty's 37th Regt.

Vega, His Excellency Major-General Donovan and Mrs. Donovan, Chief Justice Sir John Smale and Lady Smale, Commodore Smith, R.N., Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Marsh, Mrs. Pollock, Hon. J. Russell, Hon. P. Ryrie, Hon. M. S. Tonnochy, Colonel and Mrs. Geddes (27th Inniskillings), Surgeon-Major Max Grant, Mr. and Mrs. Taro Ando, Mr. F. D. Sassoon, Lieut. Bove (Vega), Dr. Almquist (Vega), Lieut. Nordquist (Vega), Lieut. Hovgaard (Vega), Dr. Stuxberg (Vega), Lieut. Drummond, A.D.C. to the General, and Mr. C. V. Creagh, Acting A.D.C. to the Governor.\n\nThe following, to whom invitations had been sent, were unable to attend -- Right Rev. Bishop and Mrs. Burdon, Right Rev. Bishop Raimondi, Hon. W. Keswick, and Col., Mrs., and Miss Hall. The band of the 27th Regiment was in attendance and played the following selection, under the direction of Herr Werner, bandmaster: Overture... \"Fra Diavolo\" Auber, Polka \"O Katchke\" Stasey, \"Swedish Air\" Anon., Selection \"Beatrice di Tenda\" Bellini, Valse \"First Roses\" Werner, Jun., Reminiscences of Ireland... Godfrey.\n\nAt the close of the dinner His Excellency the Governor proposed the toast of \"The Queen,\" which was most loyally received, the band playing the National Anthem.\n\nImmediately afterwards His Excellency rose and said- Professor Nordenskiöld: In the name of my Sovereign, Queen Victoria, I have the honour to welcome you and your companions to Her Majesty's dominions.\n\nSix centuries ago Marco Polo came from Europe to China. Two centuries later, the Portuguese crossed the Indian Ocean, entered these seas, and landed within a few miles of this Island, and subsequently the direct voyage across the Pacific was undertaken. The nineteenth century can now add to the roll of its triumphs the fourth and final route from Europe to Asia. It is our privilege to-night to behold the illustrious man who has done this-who left Europe fifteen months ago and is received by us after sailing through the Arctic Seas and accomplishing the North East passage. No generation to come can witness the completion of a voyage rivalling this. We be bold as it were in this remote outpost of Europe the writing of the last words in the last chapter of heroic maritime discovery.\n\nI congratulate the Sovereign of Sweden on the gallantry and success of His Majesty's sailors, led by Captain Palander and the officers of the Vega; I congratulate that great republic - the World of Science - on the achievement of one of her choicest citizens, Professor Nordenskiöld. Ladies and gentlemen, let us drink his health and that of his companions.\n\nHis Excellency's toast was received with enthusiasm, and the band played the Swedish National Air.\n\nProfessor Nordenskiold then rose and replied in Swedish. He has favoured us with the following translation: I have to thank your Excellency, on behalf of my comrades and myself, for the kind words you have used in proposing our healths, and the ladies and gentlemen present for the kind manner in which they have received the toast. Already to-day, in another place, I have had to thank the Inhabitants of Hongkong for the handsome way in which the Swedish expedition has been received in this Colony, and I then stated our visit here would be one of the pleasantest remembrances of the Vega's voyage. To your Excellency's guests on the present occasion I beg to repeat the same thing, but especially I have to thank your Excellency for the munificent hospitality you have extended to myself and Captain Palander at Government House, where we have been guests during our stay here. I now beg to propose the health of His Excellency the Governor and Mrs. Hennessy.\n\nThis toast was duly honoured.\n\n## Reception\n\nHis Excellency the Governor and Mrs. Hennessy held an \"at home\" and a brilliant and numerously attended reception after dinner, in honour of their distinguished guests.

Department is intended for the use of the two Nautical Surveyors.\n\nThe launches allocated to the Boarding Office and Junk Office are fully employed and cannot be spared for work with the G.M.S Office.\n\n## New Launch for Carriage of Stores and Relief\n\nAt present when stores arrive out from England there is no Government launch available for landing such stores and it becomes necessary to hire a launch for this purpose.\n\nGovernment have normally a fleet of 38 craft each one of which is allocated for special duty, and in addition one launch is under construction.\n\nWhen certain of these launches become due for overhaul or should they break down it becomes necessary to hire launches to take their place.\n\nIt is considered more economical to build a Government Launch for these purposes of landing P.W.D. Stores and of Relief work, than to continue the hiring of outside launches at an average tariff of $25 per diem, Coal oil and Stores, being provided by Government.\n\n## The Kau Sing\n\nIt has been suggested by the Hon. Senior Unofficial Member that the \"Kausing\" could perform this duty. This would be most uneconomical. To keep the \"Kau-sing\" under steam at half an hour's notice during non-typhoon weather would cost approximately an additional $30,000 per annum. If she was employed three days a week it would cost yet another $20,000, or $50,000 per annum in all. The estimated initial cost of the new launch asked for is $40,000 and it is estimated that her fuel and stores, etc., will cost approximately $5,000 per annum, so that the total cost for the first year would be $45,000. From this Hon. Members will see that to run the \"Kausing\" for this duty would cost more in one year than the initial cost of the proposed new launch plus one year's expenses for fuel and stores.\n\n## THE EAST INDIES\n\nRear-Admiral Eric J. A. Fuller-ton, C.B., D.S.O., M.A., whose selection to be Commander-in-Chief, East Indies Station, was announced in `The Times` on May 25 last, will proceed to Colombo to embark at Marseilles on November 22 in the s.s. `Mooltan`. He succeeds Vice-Admiral Bertram S. Thesiger, C.B., C.M.G., on board the `Effingham`. Rear-Admiral Fullerton is at present Naval Secretary to the First Lord, in which post he will be relieved on September 16 by Rear-Admiral G. K. Chetwode, C.B., C.B.E., promoted last year.\n\n## New Navy List Distinction\n\nIn October, 1925, reduced rates of pay for new entrants into the Royal Navy and Royal Marines were introduced. For the purpose of enabling accountant officers to distinguish readily officers entitled to the old rates of pay from those entitled to the new, it has been decided to insert in the seniority lists in the Navy List a distinguishing symbol against the names of officers who are eligible to receive pay under the old scale. The ranks in question are:- Midshipmen, acting and confirmed sub-lieutenants, lieutenants, midshipmen (E), acting and confirmed sub-lieutenants (E) and lieutenants (E), paymaster sub-lieutenants, paymaster lieutenants, chaplains, instructor lieutenants, temporary instructor lieutenants, and lieutenants R.M. The symbol will remain against officers' names until they reach rank or seniority for which no new rates of pay are laid down. For example, the symbol against the names of acting sub-lieutenants will remain during the whole of their service as lieutenant, but will cease to be shown when the rank of lieutenant-commander is reached.\n\n## Pay of Navy Writers\n\nCurrent Fleet Orders record the decision to establish the new ratings of writer probationer and supply probationer, R.N., which was approved by an Order in Council on June 8 and announced in `The Times` on June 24. The new grades have the relative rank of ordinary seaman and pay at the rate of 2s. 6d. a day. Future entries in the writer and supply branches, other than those entered from Greenwich Hospital School as boys, will be as writer or supply probationers.\n\nThe Hon. Senior Unofficial Member stated in his speech:-\"Incidentally we are informed that the staff of the G.M.S. Department has grown to such dimensions that it seems doubtful whether there is sufficient Shipbuilding and ship repair work now going on in the Colony to keep them all fully employed.\"\n\nIn 1927 at the instance of the Hongkong and Whampoa Dock Co., Ltd., and other local firms, ... This Vote will not be annually recurrent and will cease as soon as the training of the present Staff has been completed. New Candidates to fill vacancies caused by resignations, etc., however will require to be trained from time to time before coming out to the Colony.\n\n## Allowances to 17 Diesel Engineers at $120 each\n\nIt has been found from practical experience since semi-Diesel engines were introduced into Government launches that as soon as an engineer had been trained into the working of these Engines he became dissatisfied with the Government rates of pay. Several such Engineers have already resigned from Government service in order to take up employment with private firms on higher rates of pay. The allowance as set forth is designed as an inducement to such Engineers to remain in Government Service.\n\n## S.D.3\n\nAfter the sinking of S.D.3, Government appointed a Committee consisting of the Treasurer, the Harbour Master, and the Colonial Auditor to consider what steps should be taken in order to prevent a similar occurrence in the future. The recommendations of this Committee have been embodied in a General Order which it is hoped will have the desired effect. (Applause.)\n\n## LAW MATTERS\n\n### Factory Legislation Under Consideration\n\nThe Hon. Attorney General said: The Hon. Mr. Shenton referred in his speech last Thursday to the subject of factory legislation. This question has for some time been under consideration by the Government. A bill to amend the Industrial Employment of Children Ordinance, 1922, Ordinance No. 22 of 1922, so as to extend its scope to women and young persons, and certain regulations proposed to be made under the Ordinance as so amended, have already been drafted, and are now under consideration by the Governor in Council. This proposed legislation is intended to be a further step in the improvement of factory conditions in the Colony. Such improvement must of necessity be slow and gradual, and it is very difficult in such matters to travel far ahead of neighbouring countries. It is intended to follow up this legislation with other measures.\n\nPage 81", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-519-1 Estimates for 1930 5-9-1929 - 14-11-1929.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 531760, "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": "CO129-536-1 Estimates- 1932 3-9-1931 - 16-6-1933", "page_number": 252, "title": "CO129-536-1 Estimates- 1932 3-9-1931 - 16-6-1933", "content_text": "# Head 25.-MEDICAL DEPARTMENT\n\n# Head 25.-MEDICAL DEPARTMENT\n\nSub-heads :-\n\n1 Personal Emoluments\n\nOther Charges\n\nA.-Staff.\n\nApproved Estimate, 1931.\n\nEstimate, 1932.\n\n$\n\n.......... 962,672\n\n1,203,604\n\n2 Conveyance and motor allowances to :—\n\nDirector and Deputy Director of Medical and Sanitary Services at $480 each.....\n\n4 Medical Officers, at $660 each\n\n1 Assistant Visiting Medical Officer to Chinese Hospitals and Dispensaries at $660\n\n1 Medical Officer for Schools at $360.....\n\n4 Health Officers 2 at $660 and 2 at $600 each.\n\n1 Lady Health Officer at $360...\n\n1 Chinese Health Officer at $600\n\n1 Accountant at $120\n\n1 Chinese Medical Officer at $480\n\n1 Chinese Medical Officer at $360\n\n2 Chinese Medical Officers at $144 each..\n\n1 Chinese Medical Officer at $120\n\n1 Principal Matron at $180\n\n2 Masseuses at $180 each..\n\n1 X-Ray Sister at $180..\n\n1 Matron, Peak Hospital, at $240 for 3 months only\n\n3 Matrons at $120 each...\n\n1 Home Sister and 1 Tutor Sister, at $90 each.\n\n27 Nursing Sisters at $90 each\n\n2 Nursing Sisters, Private Nursing Staff, at $120 each\n\nPeak Travelling Allowances to :-\n\n13 Sisters at $120 each\n\n6 Probationers at $90 each\n\n2 Clerks, 1 Dispenser & 1 Dresser, Victoria Hospital, at $144 each\n\n18,500\n\n16,234 (1)\n\n3 Transport\n\n600\n\n600\n\n4 Rent of Premises for Dispensaries, garage, Infant Welfare and V.
