The Marine Board have been requested to furnish statements showing the quantity of coal available in China, the estimated consumption per month for the steamers named in the margin, the quantity in store at Singapore (which is believed to be large, and to have been promised at a cheap rate) and the quantity in store at Point de Galle. We have at the same time intimated to the Marine Board that a despatch from Sidney of from 200 to 400 tons monthly may be calculated on, and have communicated to Her Majesty's Plenipo- tentiaries and the Board, our opinion that a well protected depôt for coals should be esta- blished at Hong Kong, when our settlement on that island has been matured. Your Committee will perceive from the document noted in the margin, that Mr. Bonham had purchased between 700 and 800 tons at six dollars per ton, which he expected soon to despatch to China. \n\nquarterly 17. We have likewise requested the Accountant-general to forward to us a return, exhibiting a statement of the entire expense incurred on account of Her Majesty's Government for the China expedition, with a view to enable your Committee to take such measures for the progressive adjustment of the sums at the debit of Her Majesty's Govern- meat, as you may deem most proper. \n\n18. In this statement will be entered the lists and valuations of military and ordnance stores expended and returned, the charges for extra pay of troops, the hire of the transports, and other marine charges; value of commissariat supplies provided at the cost of the Indian Government; value of coal and marine supplies, and wear and tear of steamers, &c. calculated at the rate of 10 per cent. on the block and rigging. \n\n19. We have requested the Government of Bombay to have arrangements in readiness for the quick conveyance to his destination of any successor to Admiral Elliot, who may come overland from England. \n\n20. Certain proposed arrangements for the better conduct of the post-office, distribution of letters in China, and the establishment of a post-office at Hong Kong, are in contem- plation. \n\n21. The papers here cited, contain various instructions we have issued to the Board and departments concerned, calling upon them to strain every nerve to expedite the completion of the arrangements devolving upon them respectively for affording aid and despatching reinforcements to the China expedition, and pointing out the very urgent necessity on the present occasion, of more than ordinary exertion in behalf of the public service. \n\n22. In conclusion, we beg,in an Appendix, to annex for the information of your Committee, and as affording the means of a ready reference to detail, a précis on the following points not particularised in the foregoing portion of this depatch: \n\n1. Ordnance stores. \n\n2. Commissariat stores. \n\n3. Medical stores. \n\n4. Coal from the marine stores. \n\n23.

ADVERTING to a desire which has been expressed by the West India body, that a fixed and uniform rate of bounty on the importation of Chinese labourers into the West Indies should be substituted for the existing arrangement which fixes a maximum payment subject to the production of their accounts by the parties claiming it, I am directed by Lord Stanley to request that you will report to his Lordship whether the information within your reach is such as to enable you to fix upon a proper rate of bounty, and if so, what that rate of bounty should be. \n\nLord Stanley entertains no objection to the proposed alteration of the rule in this respect, provided such a rate of bounty could be fixed as shall be sufficient to cover the expenses which may be actually incurred by the importer, and no more. But will bear in mind, that according to the system proposed to be established \n\nyou for the present, the object is that the importation should be confined to those per- sons who desire to introduce labourers at their own cost, and for their own service; and, consequently, that no inducement ought to be held out in the rate of bounty to mere adventurers to import upon a speculation of deriving profit from the difference between the actual cost and the amount allowed. \n\nI have, &c. \n\n(Signed) \n\nThe Land and Emigration Commissioners, \n\n&c. \n\n&c. \n\n&c. \n\nJAMES STEPHEN. \n\nSir, \n\nCory of a LETTER from the LAND and EMIGRATION COMMISSIONERS to JAMES STEPHEN, Esq. \n\nColonial Land and Emigration Office, \n\n9, Park-street, Westminster, October 14, 1843. WITH reference to your Letters of the 12th ultimo and the 3rd instant, we have the honour to submit the following report on the proposed Chinese Immigra- tion into the West Indies. \n\nHaving procured information from various quarters, and compared it with the data previously existing in this office, and with such estimates as have been tendered to us on behalf of the West India body, we feel justified in recommending, in answer to the second of your letters, the adoption of a fixed bounty of 65 dollars on emigrants from China to the West Indies. \n\nWith regard to the details referred to us in your former letter, we beg leave to submit the following suggestions:-that the conveyance of the emigrants should be regulated by the provisions of the Passengers' Act on colonial voyages; that the length of the voyage be estimated at 18 weeks; that the emigrants require to be possessed of some warm clothing; that the allowance of provisions be fixed by the governor at the place of departure; that a proper officer of his government be directed by him to see that all these requirements are complied with, and to grant a certificate to that effect, without which bounty should not be claimable. \n\nIn recommending the passage to be estimated at 18 weeks, we proceed on enquiries, which we have caused to be made from practical persons on the subject. Upon so long a voyage, and with the ample duration we believe we have assigned to it, it appears to us unnecessary to make any distinction on account of the additional distance to Jamaica. And under this view we have not suggested any difference in the rate of bounty to that island. \n\nWe believe that it is the habit of the Chinese to be provided with warm clothing; but considering from what different parts they come, and that there seems an obvious risk that in going from one tropical country to settle in another, the necessity of taking precautions against the cold in doubling the Cape of Good Hope might be overlooked, a circumstance which we have no doubt might be of fatal consequences to the passengers' health, we have thought it our duty to suggest. that attention should be drawn to the subject. It is not our meaning that the shippers ought to furnish a stock of such clothing, but that merely that before the people's departure is finally approved, it should be seen by the practical officer that they have with them, no matter from what source derived, a reasonable supply of the kind for the passage. The clothing of English emigrants to Australia has been subjected to an inspection of this description.

HONORABLE SIRS-We respectfully beg to address you with reference to Ordinance No. \n\n17 of 1844 entitled \"An Ordinance for Esta- blishing a Registry of the Inhabitants of the \"Island of Hongkong and its Dependencies.\"-- passed the Legislative Council the 21st August last and published for the first time in the Friend of China of the 19th October to come into force the 1st November. \n\nTho it may not be strictly within our pro- vince to question the Policy of the publication of any ordinance, whether urgent or unimpor tant its principles and details, not taking place until within the short space of twelve days of the period of its coming into operation we cannot but express our regret that an Ordi- nance so materially affecting both public and private interests, which appears to have been passed so for back as the 21st August last, should not have been made known to us un- til within so short a period of our being called upon to acknowledge it as law-thus depriving as the opportunity of making that due \n\nrepresen tation of our opinions against such enactments as may appear to us to bear hard upon our in- terests: a privilege, which as being unrepre- sented in the Legislative Council, we think is our due considering the important interests we have at stake in the Colony. To these cir- cumstances we pray you to attribute the la- teness of our present address and not to any indifference to the subject at issue. \n\nWith these preliminary observations, we desire, therefore to represent to you Excellency and the respective Honorable Members of your Council the unfeigned, and extreme repugna- nce with which we have read the Ordinance in question and to enter our formal and de- clared Protest against the Principles that it involves. \n\nPrinciples-We do not hesitate to say as unjust as they are arbitrary and unconstitutional taxing British subjects unrepresented in the most iniquitous of forms, authorizing the most unheard of inquisitorial proceedings, without appeal or remedy, and placing the very power of residence to British subjects whose name may have hitherto been unsullied and unsus- pected in the hands of any one individual. \n\nFurther-We consider that the Law in question is opposed in its details to one of the great objects struggled for during the late was with the Chinese Empire, and against which special provision was made in the Treaty of Nankin-namely, the unchristan principle of bolding one men responsible for the acts of another. \n\npur- \n\nAgain-We would represent that the effect of this enactment if carried out will interfere with the labor and consequent prosperity of the Colony-inasumch, as many of us have entered in o contracts upon the faith of chases wale from your Government at enor- mous rentals, which must now either be broken or delayed from the demur that the contractor will make to introduce laborors for their fulfil- ment whiltst the despotism that is apparent in this act, will induce many respectable Chinese who have now sufficient difficulty in paying \n\nthe heavy house rent in this Colony entirely to abandon the place, and deter others from taking up their residence amongst us. And, Moreover-We give it as our unqualified opinion that the carrying out of the details of this Ordinance will be found impracticable, as well as inefficacious for the object sought to be in attained, that the principle that it in- volves is even more stringent than has ever yet been applied to a penal settlement and we confidently assert is repugnant to the feelings of every Honorable British subject. \n\nWith the above representation of our views of and ↑ Protest against this Ordinance we would pray your Excellency in Council either to modify its details so as to remove the intollerance of the principles that it gives law to, or to cause the operation of it to be sus- pended until reference can be made to the Home Co- vernment as we cannot suppose that such a measure can receive the sanction of Her most gracious Majesty. \n\nT.

M. MARTIN,\n\nColonial Treasurer.\n\nREPORT ON THE ISLAND OF HONG KONG.\n\nLocality-Hong Kong, which in the Chinese language signifies \"Red Harbour, \"(or \"Flowing Streams,\") is in north latitude 22° 16′ 27′′, east longitude 114° 14' 48\", distant about forty miles east of Macao. It forms one of a numerous but scattered group of lofty islands, in termed the \" 'Ladrones,\" which vary in size and height, but agree their arid and rugged features. The length of the island from east to west is about eight miles, with a breadth of two to four miles; it is separated from the main land of China by a strait, or inlet of the sea, varying in breadth from half a mile to three miles; one entrance, the Lymoon Pass, being less than a mile wide.\n\nPhysical Aspect. The island consists of a broken ridge, or “hogs-back,\" of mountainous hills running from W. N. W. to E. S. E., at an average height of about 1000 feet; but from this ridge and its spurs various conical mountains are elevated to the height of 1500 to 2000 The whole island, indeed, feet above the sea, and very precipitous.\n\nrises abruptly from the ocean, particularly on the north face; there are a few narrow vallies and deep ravines through which the sea occasionally bursts, or which serve as conduits for the mountain torrents; but on the north side of the island, especially where the town of Victoria is built, the rocky ridge approaches close to the harbour, and it was only by hewing through this ridge that a street or road could be made to connect the straggling town of Victoria, which stretches along the water edge for nearly four miles, although only comprising about fifty European houses, and several Chinese huts and bazaars. Here and there on the tops of some isolated hills, or along the precipitous slopes of the mountains, some houses have been constructed, but the rugged, broken, and abrupt precipices, and deep rocky ravines, will ever effectually prevent the formation, at Victoria, of any concentrated town adapted for mutual protection, cleanliness, and comfort. Hong Kong cannot be said to possess any vegetation: a few goats with difficulty find pasturage. After the heavy rains of May, June, July, August, and September, the hills assume somewhat of a greenish hue; but the whity-brown or red streaked ridges, with the scattered masses of black rocks, give a most uninviting and desolate aspect to the island, which is unrelieved by the adjacent main land, whose physical features are precisely similar to that of Hong Kong, the mountain-tops and sides presenting in many places a singular configuration and gloomy prospect.\n\nHONG KONG.\n\n3\n\nGeology-There is no igneous formation in Hong Kong. The island partakes of the same geological character as the whole coast of China, south of the Quesan group of islands. The structure may be briefly described as consisting of decomposed coarse granite, intermixed with strata of a red disintegrating sandstone, crumbling into a ferru-ginous-looking clay. Huge boulder-stones, which gunpowder will not blast, may be seen embedded in a stiff earth, or they are strewed over the tops and sides of the mountains. Gneiss and felspar are found in fragments, and there are indications of iron-stone.\n\nThat the granite is rotten, and passing, like dead animal and vegetable substances, into a putrescent state, is evidenced from the crumbling of the apparently solid rock beneath the touch, and from the noxious vapour or nitrogen which it yields when the sun strikes fervidly on it after rain. On examining the sites of houses in Victoria, whose foundations were being excavated in the sides of the hills, the strata appeared like a richly-prepared compost, emitting a fetid odour of the most sickening nature, and which, at night, must prove a deadly poison. This strata quickly absorbs any quantity of rain, which it returns to the surface in the nature of a pestiferous mineral gas*. The position of\n\n* Rotten Granite.--LYELL in his \"Principles of Geology,\" vol. i., p. 317, says→→→ \"The disintegration of granite is a striking feature of large districts in Auvergne, especially in the neighbourhood of Clermont. This decay was called by Dolomieu 'la Maladie du Granit,' and the rock may with propriety be said to have the rot, for it crumbles to pieces in the hand. The phenomenon may, without doubt, be ascribed to the continual disengagement of carbonic acid gas from numerous fissures.\" It is this gas which is evolved at the Grotto del Cane near Naples, and which is so pernicious to animal life. It is disengaged at Limagna d'Auvergne in France in large quantities; a lighted candle or other burning body is extinguished by the gas.\n\nWater materially aids, by its solvent power, the operation of carbonic acid gas in the decomposition of rocks. This gas is invisible, destitute of smell, much heavier than common air; owing to its specific gravity it may be poured from one vessel to another; may be collected over water which largely absorbs it, and is highly deleterious to animals. It is discharged from the surface of the water of some natural springs, and from narrow and deep vallies. Other gases are evolved from the earth. Dolomieu states that he ascertained the presence of sulphurous acid, muriatic acid, hepatic gas or sulphuretted hydrogen, and inflammable air or hydrogen, as well as carbonic acid. The most abundant of the gases extricated from the bowels of the earth, next to carbonic acid gas, is probably carburetted hydrogen, which is so rapidly destructive of life in coal mines. It is also sometimes emitted from the surface of the soil, or of springs and wells. M. De la Beche describes the manner in which the disintegration of rocks takes place, owing to the protracted action of atmospheric moisture.\n\nThe feldspar contained in granite is often easily decomposed. Some trap rocks, from the presence of feldspar, are liable to decomposition, as in some parts of Jamaica. The main composition of granite is quartz, feldspar, and mica, Some qualities of this primitive rock contains only feldspar and mica. This is generally the case in Hong Kong, where the feldspar is in large crystals looking like a quartzose gravel. The sound granite of Hong Kong is in isolated blocks. No drainage can ever render Hong Kong salubrious; and it is exceedingly desirable that this fallacy should be exploded, as the only effect is to drain money from the British treasury. If further proof be wanting of this, it is to be found in the following most valuable facts-adduced by Dr. Heyne, of the Madras Artillery, and which I did not see until after my report on the cause of sickness at Hong Kong was written, The remarks of Dr. Heyne ought to be carefully attended to in the formation of new colonies, sites of towns, garrison stations, encampments, &c.\n\nDr. Heyne observes that the ordinarily received opinions as to the vegetable\n\nB 2\n\nK\n\n465", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-018 - Others - 1846.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 224572, "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": "CO129-018 - Others - 1846", "page_number": 478, "title": "CO129-018 - Others - 1846", "content_text": "14\n\nREPORT ON\n\nDr. Gutzlaff, whose prepossessions are strongly in favour of the Chinese, concludes this portion of the memorandum with which he has favoured me, as follows: \"The moral standard of the people congregated in this place (Hong Kong) is of the lowest description.\"\n\nThis observation is fully borne out by the numerous murders, piracies, burglaries, and robberies of every description which have taken place during the last three years, and with almost perfect impunity, for the Chinese are formed into secret societies for the mutual protection of villains, and no man dare inform against another.\n\nAt this moment (July, 1844) the European inhabitants are obliged to sleep with loaded pistols under their pillows,—frequently to turn out of their beds at midnight to protect their lives and property from gangs of armed robbers, who are ready to sacrifice a few of their number if they can obtain a large plunder*.\n\nThis state of things was long ago predicted. In the \"Canton Register\" of 23rd February, 1841, it was stated: \"Hong Kong will be the resort and rendezvous of all the Chinese smugglers. Opium smoking-shops and gambling-houses will soon spread; to those haunts will flock all the discontented and bad spirits of the empire; the island will be surrounded by 'shameens', and become a Gehenna of the Waters.\" Three years have completely fulfilled this prediction, and neither time nor circumstances will now ever alter the character of the place. No Chinese of the humbler class will even bring their wives and children to the colony. He must be a sanguine visionary who expects that Hong Kong will ever contain a numerous and respectable Chinese population; and as regards the present inhabitants, (if a migratory race, who are constantly changing, deserve that epithet,) their diminution by one half would be satisfactory, for then a control by registration might be exercised, and life and property be rendered in some degree secure.\n\nI have heard that 150,000l. will not clear the annual expenses of Her Majesty's establishments in China, and, if the various public works be taken into account, there will be an outlay far beyond what the advantages to the state by increase of trade, either present or prospective, will at all warrant.\n\nThe sold does also, I doubt not, affect the commercial market.\n\nAs an illustration of these daring nightly attacks (to which incendiarism is now being added), the following excerpt from the \"Hong Kong Register\" of 13th May, 1845, will suffice:\n\nEarly in the morning of Wednesday a party of about twenty-five Chinese attempted to break into a house at East Point. They had mounted on the roof by ladders before being observed, and when the alarm was given, still offered a stout resistance, being well armed. One only was captured, but from the traces of blood that were visible to the boat in which the rest escaped, it is believed others were seriously wounded, either by shot from the watchmen, or by jumping from the roof when all could not use the ladder simultaneously. Two of the party who attacked them were wounded, we are happy to say neither dangerously. The fire-balls and torches brought by the robbers illuminated the place nearly equal to daylight; and they had strewed the street with iron crowsfeet, all showing how deliberately the attack was planned. It is supposed, however, the attack was intended for an adjoining house where a Chinaman resides who occasionally deals in opium.\n\n\"The captured robber was examined before the magistrate and committed for trial. We understand he resolutely refused to give any information regarding his companions.\" On one occasion the robbers attacked a guard-boat with a serjeant's party of Her Majesty's 98th Regiment, killed or drowned the guard, and carried off the money.\n\nThe overland \"Friend of China\" of November and December, 1845, has several narratives of daring piracy and robbery in and around Hong Kong,\n\n+ Now five years.\n\nHONG KONG,\n\n15\n\nThe daring character of the population, and its worthlessness for civil purposes in the formation of a colony, will be seen in the following incident.\n\nOn the 27th September, 1843, the Hon. Major Caine, the chief magistrate, issued a proclamation for pulling down some mat-sheds, which harboured a gang of ruffians who were nightly engaged in plundering the town. In the beginning of October, 1843, the Chinese robbers posted a counter-proclamation on the gate of No. 1, Market-place, in the chief thoroughfare, declaring, \"that if they left the island themselves, they would compel others to do so, taking with them their merchandize and property, and warning people to be cautious how they ventured out after dark, lest they meet with some unexpected harm.\"\n\nAt the same time the Government coal depôts were set on fire; the mat barracks of the 41st Regiment and the Market-place No. 1 were attempted to be burnt; and at noon, a number of Chinamen, armed with knives, entered the Market, threatened all around, wounded a European policeman, and then walked away unmolested.\n\nThe number of prisoners in the jail of Hong Kong averaged, during 1843-44, from sixty to ninety a-month, and the crimes with which they were charged were invariably piracy, murder, burglary, robbery, &c. There has been no diminution of crime; the number of prisoners in the jail have increased; and the nightly robberies are as frequent if not more so than they were three years ago. The shopkeepers do not remain more than a few months on the island, when another set takes their place; there is, in fact, a continual shifting of a Bedouin sort of population, whose migratory, predatory, gambling, and dissolute habits utterly unfit them for continuous industry, and render them not only useless, but highly injurious, subjects, in the attempt to form a new colony.\n\nThere cannot be said to be any other coloured race in the colony; a few lascars seek employment in ships. The European inhabitants, independent of those in the employ of Government, consist of the members of about twelve mercantile houses, and their clerks, together with several European shopkeepers. A few persons have arrived here from New South Wales, to try and better their fortune, many of whom would be glad to return thither.\n\nThe principal mercantile firms are those engaged in the opium trade, who have removed hither from Macao as a safer position for an opium depôt, and which they frankly admit is the only trade Hong Kong will ever possess.\n\nThe opium belonging to the two principal firms is not, however, lodged on shore; it is kept in \"receiving-ships,\" the \"Hormanjee Bomanjee,\" belonging to Jardine, Matheson, and Co., and the \"John Barry,\" belonging to Dent and Co. Even the money in use by those firms is not intrusted on shore, but is kept in the receiving-ships.\n\nThese firms, and the three or four others partially engaged in the opium trade, carry on this business in Hong Kong; the tea trade is carried on distinctly at Canton, by members of the firms resident there. Excepting the six firms engaged in the opium trade, the other six houses are small, and are principally agents for manufacturers, &c., in Great Britain.\n\n471", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-018 - Others - 1846.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 224599, "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": "CO129-018 - Others - 1846", "page_number": 505, "title": "CO129-018 - Others - 1846", "content_text": "498\n\n67\n\n66\n\nHONG KONG AND\n\nadvantage to her trade—a lasting credit to her character—and a powerful means of establishing and of extending her civilizing influence over one-third of the human race.\n\nWhile viewing our trade with China as one of vast importance, I cannot forget that there are other subjects of equal if not of superior consideration.\n\nHappily these subjects are not antagonistic, but collateral: whatever gives political power and Christian influence to England in China, affords the means of expanding her commerce, and of strengthening her intercourse with the myriads of industrious and intelligent people, on whose shores she is now irrevocably established.\n\nThe position which England has assumed, the treaty which she has forced on China, (which has thus been opened to all Europe and America,) and the shock which the late war has given to the Tartar Government, and which may probably end in the dismemberment, if not destruction, of the Tartar empire of China, all indicate the great responsibility we have incurred.\n\nEngland cannot remain passive in China—there, as elsewhere, she must advance or recede; the latter is impossible; and the former, if uncontrolled, will plunge her into the greatest difficulties. The abandonment of Chusan, in December, 1845, and the retention of Hong Kong as the sole settlement of Great Britain in China, will, ere long, by the force of peculiar circumstances, lead to our territorial occupancy on the mainland of China; a measure greatly to be deprecated and condemned.\n\nBut by our retention of Chusan island there could be no excuse for seeking a continental occupancy: it is large, fertile, salubrious, well-peopled, and admirably situated for commercial, military, maritime, and social purposes.\n\nAbundant scope would thus be given for developing the energies of Great Britain, and remove all plea of necessity for establishing ourselves on the mainland.\n\nWhether China be a foe or a friend, England, by the occupation of Chusan, would be prepared to defend or to aid, as circumstances might demand. Whether war or peace prevailed in Europe, equally advantageous would be our position to resist an enemy, or to encourage the trade of the western world.\n\nThe permanent occupation of Chusan by England involves so many considerations of the highest importance, that I trust their Lordships\n\nCHUSAN COMPARED.\n\nwill excuse the earnestness with which I seek their immediate and deep investigation of the question; and that they will be pleased to overlook any strong expressions which I may have used in my reports on Hong Kong and on Chusan.\n\nTwenty years have been devoted to an investigation of the colonies of England, and I trust their Lordships will deem that the long study of this vast subject, and the personal examination of many of our transmarine possessions, have qualified me to form and to express an early opinion on the British position in China.\n\nIf the sentiments I have endeavoured to convey relative to the utter inutility of a large governmental expenditure on Hong Kong, and to the great importance in every point of view of permanently occupying Chusan, be productive of the desired result, I shall have the satisfaction of feeling that I have endeavoured to do my duty, and I hope in some degree to justify the confidence reposed in me.\n\nI have, &c.,\n\nR.

A history and a geography, almost exclusively national, occupy another fourth portion; while the existence of other nations, and the practical lessons to be learned from the rest of mankind, are almost wholly forgotten. With the exception of agriculture and weaving, the useful arts of life find hardly any place in Chinese literature. Mechanic and chemical sciences are scarcely thought of. Medicine we know to consist, for the most part, of mere quackery. Astronomical and mathematical sciences are chiefly derived from Europeans, and the knowledge of them is confined to a very few persons; while the vagaries of astrology and divination find a place not only in their literature, but also in the arrangements of government. Natural history is regarded only as an adjunct to medical science, if the practice of medicine among the Chinese can be dignified with the name of science. Seeing that so many are the defects of Chinese literature, it becomes our imperative duty to exert our utmost energies to supply their lack of knowledge.\"\n\nAs regards their philosophy, the committee observe-\n\n\"Several of the classical works, which form the foundation of this first department of Chinese literature, have already, by means of translations, been placed within the reach of the European public. From these we are enabled to perceive to how low an elevation in philosophy the most esteemed sages of China have attained.\"\n\nIn the geography of even their own country they are almost as deficient as they are of that of foreign countries. A map of the province of Fokien, which I saw at the viceroy's residence at Foochoo, would have disgraced the New Zealanders, or any other barbarous nation. It had no bearings—no divisional lines—no proportions; and that part which we know, the Min river, was entirely incorrect. Yet this map was kept a secret; and our Consul at Foochoo could only procure a copy, by paying a Chinese largely for copying it by stealth.

NS.\n\nR.M. Martin\n\nCol Treasurer to the\n\nColonial Secretary tendering Conditional Resignation\n\nThis office.\n\nMy dear Hawes,\n\nI send you the substance of the case of Mr. Martin, which I couched in such a manner as did not think that the addition of the words \"his foreign\" &c. to the despatch to the Colonies, under the circumstances, would be considered as binding upon Mr. Martin. The Colonial Secretary requested me to receive his resignation \"without condition\" although he said, in the letter of resignation, that it was made in order to enable himself to go to Europe, but it was an absolute (that is, as binding as Mr. Martin's) resignation.\n\nThe substance of this question is, whether Mr. Martin's resignation was absolute or conditional. I cannot see that this latter affects, in any way, the interests of this Colony or the Public Service in China. He then wrote his letter of resignation.\n\nLord Stanley was, I think, very clearly of opinion that this conditional resignation was quite indefensible.\n\nI do not think it would be regarded as of any value to raise a verbal dispute about the terms \"Conditional\" and \"Absolute\". I think it would be better to follow the substance of the matter, which is that he asked leave to go home in such a manner as would make it improper that he should be permitted to return thither in the Public Service. If I am right in my understanding, I conceive that it might be perfectly well done by remarking that his declining to continue in the correspondence clouded and disturbed the Public interests.\n\nJuly 21.\n\nI think it may be as well to tell him that his coming home having been refused on leave of absence must be considered as intimating a relinquishment of his office, & that he was absolute in his resignation, not conditional.\n\nHis predecessors regarded it as absolute.\n\nAtt.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-018 - Others - 1846.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 224729, "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": "CO129-018 - Others - 1846", "page_number": 636, "title": "CO129-018 - Others - 1846", "content_text": "Nicidas baht refrem.

It would not be possible to join Jail C to the other two.\n\nAs this building is not in connexion with the others, and has not the same facilities for washing, and proximity to the privies, I think the recommendation of the Committee to build a tower for washing and privies is desirable.

He soon returned to Canton, and died there of a fever and cold, contracted at Hong Kong. It was understood, however, that had he lived he would have been prohibited returning to Hong Kong, the policy of the mandarins on the adjacent coast being to prevent all respectable Chinese from settling at Hong Kong, and in consequence of the hold which they possess on their families and relatives, this can be done most effectually; at the same time I believe that they encourage and promote the deportation of every thief, pirate, and idle or worthless vagabond from the main land to Hong Kong.\n\n\"It\n\nThe Rev. Dr. Gutzlaff, who has been engaged in making the recent census appended to this Report, referring to the fishermen, who formed the greater part of the population of the island on our arrival, says \"They are a roving set of beings, floating on the wide face of the ocean with their families, and committing depredations whenever it can be done with impunity.\" \"The stone-cutters have been working here for many years before our arrival; the majority of these men are unprincipled. They cannot be considered as domesticated, and are in the habit of going and coming, according to the state of trade.\" \"The most numerous class who have since our arrival fixed themselves on the island, are from Whampoa; many of them are of the worst character, and ready to commit any atrocity.\" The capital of the shopkeepers is very small; the most of them live from hand to mouth, and lead a life of expedients without principle and self control.\" is very natural that depraved, idle, and bad characters from the adjacent main and islands should flock to the colony where some money can be made.\" Dr. Gutzlaff, whose prepossessions are strongly in favour of the Chinese, concludes this portion of the memorandum with which he has favoured me, as follows: \"The moral standard of the people congregated in this place (Hong Kong) is of the lowest description.\" This observation is fully borne out by the numerous murders, piracies, burglaries, and robberies of every description which have taken place during the last three years, and with almost perfect impunity; for the Chinese are formed into secret societies for the mutual protection of villains, and no man dare inform against another. At this moment (July 1844) the European inhabitants are obliged to sleep with loaded pistols under their pillows, frequently to turn out of their beds at midnight to protect their lives and property from gangs of armed robbers, who are ready to sacrifice a few of their number if they can obtain a large plunder.\n\nThis state of things was long ago predicted. In the Canton Register of 23d February 1841 it was stated, Hong Kong will be the resort and rendezvous of all the Chinese smugglers; opium smoking shops and gambling houses will soon spread; to those haunts will flock all the discontented and bad spirits of the empire; the island will be surrounded by Shameens, and become a Gehenna of the waters.\"\n\nThree years have completely fulfilled this prediction, and neither time nor circumstances will now ever alter the character of the place. No Chinese of the humbler class will ever bring their wives and children to the colony. He must be sanguinely visionary who expects that Hong Kong will ever contain a numerous and respectable Chinese population. And, as regards the present inhabitants, (if a migratory race who are constantly changing deserve that epithet), their diminution by one-half would be satisfactory, for then a control by registration might be exercised, and life and property be rendered in some degree secure. The daring character of the population and its worthlessness for all useful civil purposes in the formation of a colony, will be seen in the following incident.\n\nOn 27th September 1843, the Honourable Major Caine, the chief magistrate, issued a proclamation for pulling down some mat sheds which harboured a gang of ruffians who were nightly engaged in plundering the town. In the beginning of October 1843, the Chinese robbers posted a counter proclamation on the gate of No. 1 Market-place, in the chief thoroughfare, declaring that if they left the island themselves they would \"compel others to do so, taking with them their merchandise and property, and warning people to be cautious how they ventured out after dark, lest they meet with some unexpected harm.\" At the same time the Government coal depots were set on fire; the mat barracks of the 41st Regiment, and the Market-place No. 1, were attempted to be burned; and at noon a number of Chinamen, armed with knives, entered the market, threatened all around, wounded a European policeman, and then walked away unmolested. The number of prisoners in the gaol of Hong Kong averaged, during 1843-44, from 60 to 90 a month; nearly every prisoner was Chinese, and the crimes with which they were charged were invariably piracy, murder, burglary, robbery, &c. There has been no diminution of crime; the number of prisoners in the jail have increased, and the nightly robberies are as frequent, if not more so, than they were three years ago. The shopkeepers do not remain more than a few months on the island, when another set takes their place. There is, in fact, a continual shifting of a Bedouin sort of population, whose migratory, predatory, gambling, and dissolute habits utterly unfit them for continuous industry, and render them not only useless, but highly injurious subjects in the attempt to form a new colony.\n\nThere cannot be said to be any other coloured race in the colony; a few Lascars seek employment in ships. The European inhabitants, independent of those in the employ of government, consist of the members of about 12 mercantile houses and their clerks, together with several European shopkeepers. A few persons have arrived here from New South Wales, to try and better their fortune, many of whom would be glad to return thither.\n\n[17]\n\nAppendix.\n\nReport on the\n\nIsland of Hong Kong.\n\nThe principal mercantile firms are those engaged in the opium trade, who have removed thither from Macao, as a safer position for an opium depot, and which they frankly admit is the only trade Hong Kong will ever possess. The opium belonging to the two principal firms is not, however, lodged on shore, it is kept in receiving ships, the \"Hormanjee Bomanjee,\" belonging to Jardine, Matheson & Co., and the \"John Barry,\" belonging to Dent & Co. Even the money in use by those firms is not entrusted on shore, but is kept in the receiving ships. These firms, and the three or four others partially engaged in the opium trade, carry on this business in Hong Kong. The tea trade is carried on distinctly at Canton, by members of the firms resident there. Excepting the six firms engaged in the opium trade, the other six houses are small, and are principally agents for manufacturers, &c. in Great Britain. The expense of establishments, the high rate of interest of money, and the want of trade, will, it is said, probably ere long compel the removal or breaking-up of several of the small houses. There is scarcely a firm in the island but would, I understand, be glad to get back half the money they have expended in the colony, and retire from the place. A sort of hallucination seems to have seized those who built houses here; they thought that Hong Kong would \"rapidly out-rival Singapore, and become the Tyre or Carthage of the Eastern hemisphere.\" Three years' residence, and the experience thence derived, have materially sobered some of their views. Unfortunately the government of the colony fostered the delusion respecting the colony. The leading government officers bought land, built houses or bazaars, which they rented out at high rates, and the public money was lavished in the most extraordinary manner, building up and pulling down temporary structures, making zig-zag bridle paths over hills and mountains, and forming the Queen's-road of three to four miles long, on which about 180,000 dollars have been expended, but which is not passable for half the year. The straggling settlement called Victoria, built along the Queen's-road, was dignified with the name of city, and it was declared on the highest authority that Hong Kong would contain a population \"equal to that of ancient Rome.\"\n\nThe Surveyor-general, in an official report to Sir Henry Pottinger, of 22 pages, dated 6 July 1843, proposed building an entirely new town or city, in the Woonichung Valley (which may be aptly called the valley of death), with a grand canal and many branch canals, &c. &c.; two ranges of terraces of houses, &c. &c.; courts of law and various other offices; acclimating barracks; additions to the present government house, for the secretaries and personal staff of the Governor, isolated from all other buildings; a space of land to be reclaimed from the sea for a public landing place, with an esplanade or public walk; a magnificent promenade of four miles to be made on ground now covered by the sea, which was to be excluded by a sea wall, at a cost of 35 dollars per lineal yard, exclusive of filling in, &c.; a circular road over hills and ravines, round the entire island, &c. &c., adapted for carriages, and for moving troops with speed and facility to any part of the island where they may happen to be required for the protection of the different villages. (These villages, be it remembered, containing nothing but a few hundreds of a thieving, piratical population.) I refer to the Government archives for full details of these and other most ridiculous projects, involving a vast expenditure of public money, which none but the wildest theorists or self-interested persons could have projected or entertained.\n\nOn 17th December 1843, the Surveyor-general laid before Sir H. Pottinger the elevation of a building for a government office, &c. with a front of 360 feet in length, by 50 feet in depth, and which would probably cost 30,000l. sterling. There seemed to be the greatest possible desire to spend a large part of the Chinese indemnity money on this wretched, barren, unhealthy, and useless rock, which the whole wealth, energy, and talent of England would never render habitable, or creditable as a colony to the British name.\n\nIn illustration of the mode in which the public money was proposed to be spent, I give the following, which is a portion of the estimate of public works in Hong Kong, for 1844, and which Sir H. Pottinger transmitted to England for approval:\n\nCompletion of Queen's-road from West Point to the east side of Wong-nichung Valley\n\nDitto, to godowns of Jardine & Co.

Moreover, Gibraltar is a valuable commercial entrepôt; at one period 1,000,000l. sterling of cotton goods were exported through Gibraltar into Spain.\n\nAs a fortress, Gibraltar is perfect; it is impregnable. The revenue of Gibraltar is fully adequate to its civil government, and averages upwards of 30,000l. per annum; the military expenses incurred by garrisoning Gibraltar saves the constant maintenance of a large fleet in the Mediterranean, preserves the balance of power, and materially helps to keep the peace of Europe. The remarks applicable to Gibraltar are also applicable to Malta and the Ionian Islands, both of which stations not only pay their whole civil expenditure, without one shilling charge on the British Exchequer, but also contribute a considerable sum annually towards military defences and protection. Both of these places are also entrepôts of a large trade. Every colony of the British empire pays for its own civil government, except small sums which are voted annually in part aid for the Bahamas, Bermuda, the Falkland Islands, St. Helena, and Heligoland; but all these places are intrinsically valuable: the Bahamas for the geographical position of their harbours; Bermuda as a strong fortress and dockyard in the Western Atlantic; the Falkland Islands for their important position and fisheries in the Great Southern Ocean, near Cape Horn; St. Helena as a strong fortress and recruiting station for our numerous ships doubling the Cape of Good Hope in their voyages to and from India, China, and Australasia; and in the event of war the possession of St. Helena would be of great value to our merchants, and save us a large fleet in the Atlantic. Heligoland, during the late European war, was a large commercial depôt for the Elbe and the northern parts of Europe. Its expense is only about 500l. a year. Numerous as are the colonies of the British empire, they are each of some utility to England; for their territorial extent as emigration fields to provide employment for a surplus population; for their productions of sugar, coffee, corn, cotton, silk, indigo, timber, oil, wool, &c.; as maritime positions or military posts; as trading emporiums or fishing stations. I have in vain sought one valuable quality in Hong Kong, for there are other good harbours around, and for 200 years we have not found the want of such. I can see no justification for the British Government spending one shilling on Hong Kong.\n\nReligions and Social Influence.-The benefits derivable from our laws, institutions, and religion can never be conferred on the Chinese by our colonization of Hong Kong.\n\nWe are here, in fact, almost as much isolated from China, its people, and supreme government, as if we were located in the Eastern Archipelago. By the adroit policy adopted by the Chinese authorities, a \"cordon sanitaire,\" if I may so express it, has been drawn around Hong Kong; no Chinaman is permitted to come here willingly, except he be a thief, a pirate, or a spy. No respectable Chinese, with their families, locate themselves in Hong Kong; if they did, their relations still remaining on the main land would probably be \"squeezed,\" imprisoned, tortured, and considered as traitors to the Celestial Empire.\n\nHong Kong is viewed by the Chinese as a spot where adventurers and reckless characters may make something out of the English, and where burglars and robbers may resort with impunity, and live upon the profits of their villainy.\n\nI am strongly of opinion, from circumstances that have come to my knowledge, that the mandarins view with indulgence all vagabonds who propose to quit their own country and proceed to Hong Kong; that in fact direct encouragement is afforded them to do so; it is therefore the height of improbability to suppose that the possession of Hong Kong will ever enable us to disseminate our religion, language, and institutions in the Chinese empire. For 200 years we have had extensive and profitable intercourse with Canton, without our missionaries and other good men ever producing the slightest effect on the people or government. The inhabitants of the southern districts are decidedly hostile to us, and are daily becoming more and more filled with a deadly animosity, which the possession of Hong Kong will not remove. No converts are made by our missionaries on this island, but were such the case no converts from Hong Kong would be favourably viewed by the respectable Chinese on the main land. The Christian converts would be considered as coming from an island of thieves and pirates; they would be received with a suspicion which would check rather than advance the progress of Christianity. The missionaries with whom I have conversed take this view of the subject; they consider it hopeless to attempt the spread of Christian doctrines in China by means of converts from Hong Kong, Thus, in a religious aspect, Hong Kong is as valueless as it is on financial and commercial grounds.\n\nWere our colonial authority and establishment at some island or position to the north, near the central regions of China, we should most probably obtain considerable moral influence\n\n[ 23 ]\n\nAppendix.\n\nReport on the Island of Hong Kong.\n\ninfluence over an intelligent and respectable class of Chinese, who would communicate their favourable ideas to other and distant parts of the empire, and by extending a knowledge of our language pave the way for the introduction of Christianity. An English city at Chusan, for example, surrounded by an extensive agricultural population (the best disposed and most orderly in China, as well as elsewhere), and evincing all the benefits of the science and skill of Europe, would have a remarkable effect on the Chinese, whose inquisitiveness and imitative powers would soon induce them to copy those things which would conduce to their physical, and ultimately to their moral and religious improvement.\n\nIn a Political Point of View.-Hong Kong was occupied by our troops and merchants in 1840-41, at a period when our trade was driven from Canton; when we were in hostility to the Chinese government, and when the Portuguese authorities at Macao had expressed their inability to permit, as usual, British residence and resort to that port. At this period the views of Captain Elliot were solely directed toward Canton. Hong Kong was then deemed the most eligible spot for British occupation, on political and military grounds; and so it proved, as long as the operations were being directed against Canton and we were excluded from China; but on our proceeding to the north, occupying Chusan, and ultimately making peace, and opening five ports, including Canton, for free commercial resort, English residence, and the establishment of a ship of war at each, the political and mercantile value of Hong Kong entirely ceased. The late war has shown us the vulnerable point of China, namely, the Yang-tze-kang river, which is aptly denominated by the Chinese, \"the Girdle of the Empire.\" In the event of any future hostilities our force would be directed at once towards Nankin, and other places on the Yang-tze-Kang river, and not against Canton. It is by interrupting the supplies of grain and salt to Pekin, and cutting off the trade of the great artery, or grand canal, that we can with the least expenditure of blood or treasure terminate hostilities with China.\n\nTo accomplish this most desirable result Hong Kong is utterly valueless. Our position must be Chusan, from its contiguity to the scene of war, from its comparative salubrity, safe haven, and capability of supplying provisions, both from the resources of the island itself, and from the contiguous coasts. A fleet of ships of war and transports may rendezvous at Chusan, and select at will the most fitting period of the year for offensive operations. No attack need be apprehended from the Chinese. Coal is abundant in the Yang-tze-kang, for the use of steamers. Ships from Singapore and the southward can now, by reason of a greater knowledge of the winds and currents, reach Chusan, even against the Monsoon, in nearly the same time they would occupy in reaching Hong Kong; and finally the Chinese government, aware of our position, would be the less disposed to break the peace, and would cease to rely so much as they now do on the strength of the forts in the Canton river. The policy of the Chinese government is to keep foreigners at the extremity of the empire; but the sagacious reasons which dictate this policy ought to render us the more anxious to operate in a counter direction. There are now seven fortifications, very strong, and apparently well provided with artillery, at the Bogue. With Chinese gunners these forts would prove, even at present, formidable to an invading force; but well manned by European or American artillerymen, the Bogue might be made almost as impregnable as the Dardanelles.\n\nOn a review of the whole case, there are no assignable grounds for the political or military occupancy of Hong Kong, even if there were no expense attending that occupancy. The government of China is sufficiently civilized to respect the persons and property of British subjects at Canton, before any declaration of war took place, which, however, is an event of very remote probability for many years to come, if we retain Chusan; and as the treaty with China provides for the stationing of a ship of war at Wampoa or Canton, a better security is thus provided for any British residents at Canton than Hong Kong could afford. The climate of Hong Kong will not admit of the island being made a garrison for our troops; and in the event of another war with China, an invading army must proceed from India, unless we keep a small military and naval establishment at Chusan; but a very small effective force can be maintained here, unless at an enormous expense; and the impracticability of fortifying an island which is commanded by the hills around, and by any large battery erected on the opposite shore, is now generally acknowledged, and is in further corroboration of the inutility of Hong Kong.\n\nOn a review of the whole question, and examining the island in all respects, making every allowance for the newness of the settlement, and admitting, for argument sake, that ultimately there may be some trade at Hong Kong, it appears to me very advisable, if Hong Kong be retained as a British station or colony, that the civil establishment of the colony be cut down to a scale commensurate with the resources and wants of the island; and that the supernumerary officers be provided for in other colonies, as vacancies occur; that the European and Sepoy troops be removed, and a portion of the first Ceylon regiment (Malays) be kept at Hong Kong, in aid of the civil power; that a frigate or sloop of war be always stationed in the harbour, with an extra complement of marines, to be landed only in case of emergency; that the British, and other respectable inhabitants who are householders, be formed into a municipal body, with power to assess themselves for the police, lighting, drainage, and street-making, &c. of Victoria; that the harbour be a free port,\n\nopen", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-027 - Public Offices - 1848.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 228162, "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": "CO129-027 - Public Offices - 1848", "page_number": 466, "title": "CO129-027 - Public Offices - 1848", "content_text": "MERCHANDISE.\n\n1838-39.\n\nQUANTITY.\n\n(7.)-TRADE WITH CHINA AND BENGAL.\n\nIMPORTS from China.\n\n1839-40.\n\nVALUE.\n\nQUANTITY,\n\n1840-41.\n\nVALUE.\n\nQUANTITY.\n\n1841-42.\n\n1842-43.\n\nVALUE.\n\nQUANTITY,\n\nVALUE.\n\nQUANTITY.\n\n1843-44.\n\nVALUE.\n\nQUANTITY.\n\nVALUE.\n\nAlumI.

A financier knows that there are some articles, viz., salt, pepper, &c., which cannot be increased in use beyond a given extent by fiscal diminution; and tea, which must be used alone, and which cannot, like sugar and other articles, be mixed with various substances, is in this category,\n\nA reduction of the tea duties from 2s. to 1s., as proposed, would therefore diminish the revenue one-half without any perceptible corresponding advantage to the consumer; and unless the State is in a condition to throw away from one to two million sterling of income, or to levy this amount on some other article, there can be no justifiable grounds for the proposed reduction. But it is also worthy of note, that the use of tea as a beverage is a factitious taste which may decline (as has been the case throughout Europe) as rapidly as it has arisen; that the rate of duty levied shuts out tea of very inferior quality, and that the glutting of the market with a worthless or injuriously adulterated herb, might produce a national distaste, especially among the labouring classes, with whom coffee is a preferable stimulant, and cocoa a more nutritious beverage.\n\nThe idea that by reducing the price of teas in England a largely increased consumption would take place, which would be paid for in British manufactures, is fallacious, and will be found adverted to in other parts of this Report, and it is wiser to await and see the effects which importing teas direct from Shanghai, and other northern ports in China, may have in reducing the cost price; and which, as before observed, may it is said be done to the extent of nearly 20 per cent. as compared with the present Canton prices. If this reduction take place in the prime cost at the port of shipment, the Government will be enabled to ascertain how far such reduction will benefit the consumer, or extend the consumption at home. On a mature and impartial consideration of the whole subject, it does not appear politic or advisable to make now any alterations in the tea duties, neither as regards the vital interests of the State, which cannot afford to jeopardize nearly four millions sterling of annual revenue, steadily and economically paid into the British Exchequer, nor as affects the great bulk of the nation, who as consumers would derive little or no benefit in the price of an article supplied by only one foreign country, and who may as well pay their necessary quota of taxation on tea as on any other article subject to custom or excise duties.\n\nChina, July 1845.\n\nRobert Montgomery Martin,\n\n[The General Report on China, as laid before the Board of Trade, and printed by permission of Her Majesty's Government in two volumes octavo, has been published by Mr. Madden, of Leadenhall-street, London.]\n\nto aver.\n\n1699)\n\n1700\n\nto aver. 1708\n\n1721 1728\n\n1741 1742 1743\n\n1744\n\n1745\n\n1746\n\n80,000\n\n•\n\n1,100,000\n\ncent.\n\non\n\n-137.185.7¾d.\n\nper lb., and 4s. per lb. ad valorem.\n\n-381.185.7¼d. per cent., and 1s. per lb.\n\n1,493,626 1,192,261 473,868 710,633 1,723,152\n\n2,422,610 2,496,379\n\n215,019 3,150,517\n\n150,000\n\n243,000\n\n300,000\n\n1747\n\n-\n\n1748\n\n·\n\n1749\n\n-431.188.7¾d.\n\n3,334,779\n\n1750\n\nper cent., and\n\n2,295,506\n\n1751\n\n1s. per lb.\n\n3,656,175\n\n1752\n\n2,272,909\n\n1753\n\n3,253,083\n\n1754\n\n4,500,000\n\n3,048,835\n\n1755\n\n|-431.188.7¾d.|| 3,437,001\n\n1756\n\n1757\n\nper cent., and 1s. per lb.\n\n3,812,543\n\n3,723,032\n\n1758\n\n3,520,634\n\n1759\n\n3,245,705\n\nNo Returns available.\n\nT\n\n1760\n\n3,860,976\n\n1761\n\n|-487.188.7¾d. || 4,308,234\n\n1762\n\npercent., and\n\n4,217,961\n\n1763\n\n6,000,000\n\n1s. per lb. on\n\n5,307,292\n\n1764\n\nall sorts.\n\n5,222,934\n\n1765\n\n5,204,219\n\n5,185,831\n\n562,030\n\n1767\n\n7,260,000\n\n4,921,131\n\n547,230\n\n607,430\n\n1768\n\n1769\n\nThe same duty, except black and singlo teas.\n\n616,715\n\n7,676,243\n\n609,846\n\n9,114,845\n\n621,081\n\n1770\n\n8,634,054 695,108\n\n1771\n\n6,306,881\n\n877,04%\n\n1772\n\n6,721,626\n\n1,028,060\n\n1,111,898\n\n1773\n\n- Same duty,\n\n3,776,229\n\n1,176,861\n\n1774\n\nand 1s. per\n\n1775\n\n1776\n\nIb. on all sorts.\n\n6,728,721\n\n1,152,262\n\n6,155,783 1,287,808 4,467,609\n\n1,450,252\n\n1777\n\n5,119,862 1,757,257\n\n1778\n\n1779\n\n9,916,760\n\n1780\n\n17,496,884\n\n1781\n\n23,841,683\n\n[-517. 7s. 6d. per cent., and 1s. -4d. per lb. -531.6s. 3d. per cwt., and 1s. 1d. per lb.\n\n4,179,761 2,348,004 6,341,986\n\n2,925,298\n\n7,328,098\n\n3,098,428\n\n4,883,970\n\n3,043,224 3,370,610\n\n-\n\n16s. per lb.\n\n-10s. to 35s.\n\nper\n\nIb.\n\n995,850\n\n911,429\n\n1,321,973\n\n1,425,708\n\n1,555,968\n\n1,316,568\n\nNot as-\n\n1,238,434\n\ncertainable\n\nin these\n\n1,041,841\n\nyears from\n\n1,031,216\n\nany existing\n\n777,011\n\nrecords.\n\n930,280\n\n809,583\n\n1,263,462\n\n1,409,305\n\n1,007,457\n\n1,242,766\n\n1,131,342\n\n(*) See Remarks, on page 71.\n\nS\n\n12\n\nTENG\n\n---\n\n(continued)", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-027 - Public Offices - 1848.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 228184, "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": "CO129-027 - Public Offices - 1848", "page_number": 488, "title": "CO129-027 - Public Offices - 1848", "content_text": "Mor Mevinale \n\nLa \n\n& the former Jefrers. \n\nis on this Parte \n\nIf \n\nthe £100 ler Miles has actually received it to \n\nbequest \n\nto be considered as an advance \n\nthere will be nothing due to bu \n\nthis account. \n\nIch Jufte \n\nIt was evidently sanctioned \n\nas an advance of salary. only : & I presume to \n\nobiles must Ju do \n\ninformed? \n\nHM July 29 \n\n481 \n\nTavistock Hotel.

BONHAM.\n\nSurveyor-General's Office, Victoria, February 9, 1849.\n\nI HAVE the honour to submit my annual report upon the works that have been executed during the year, also upon the general state and repair of all civil roads and works in the island,\n\n1. Roads and Bridges, district of Victoria.-The Queen's road and all the streets in the town have been kept in a tolerable state of repair during the year, by the employment of convict labour thereon, the only actual expenditure having been for the cutting and removal of some rocks in Wyndham-street, Req. No 2, of 1848, which was executed for 101. 16s. 8d.; and in the Wongneichung Valley repairs, to the extent of 217. 13s. 4d., were paid for under Req. No. 9, of 1848.\n\nThe estimated value of convict labour expended in repairs has amounted to 3297. 17s. 8d. The new bridge at the Nullah North Barracks was opened during the year, which has rendered that portion of the road safe and serviceable; the expenditure thereon during the year amounted to 4437. 15s., leaving a balance unpaid upon the estimate of 67. 11s. 11d. One of the small wooden bridges (Stewart's) in the Wongneichung Valley being in a precarious state, I was directed to build a stone arch in lieu thereof, which was done for the sum of 457. 16s. 8d. Req. No. 42, of 1847. I have examined as closely as possible the three other wooden bridges in the valley; the main timbers are apparently sound; some of the lower sheathing-boards of the large bridge are partly decayed, but as the upper course is perfectly sound I do not think it unsafe, or that repairs are demanded at the present moment. An expenditure of 2854. 16s. 10d. has been made for the construction of stone-surface drains (Rep. and Est. 13, of 1845), mostly in the Chinese Town, which is very much improved thereby; and the drainage and streets in that district may be said to be quite finished, with the exception of a small portion of Hollywood-road, from thence to the Queen's-road, which it is difficult to keep in order; it, therefore, would be advisable to complete the proposed service for that reason: besides, the road would be rendered safer for carriages than it is at present, for a portion of the road is an embankment which has no parapet thereto; and the stone drain, with a raised footpath, obliges both horsemen and carriages to keep the centre of the road. The same may be said of some of the other roads and streets in the town, some of which are much frequented, and very dangerous from the want of some protection. Upon this service there is a balance unappropriated of 5301. 2s. 9d. Of the under-ground drainage little required to be done; the balance, 797. 14s. 1d., unexpended (Rep. and Est. 11, of 1844) was applied to the formation of two drains; one across the Queen's-road, centre of Parade-ground; the other at junction of Albert-road with the Albany-road. A brick sewer to join the Ordnance sewer, east of the Nullah Bridge, was authorized under Rep. and Est. No. 8, of 1847, amounting to 897. 13s., but it is not yet completed, in consequence of the extreme difficulty of excavating the rock, which must be burned before it can be quarried out, which is a tedious and expensive operation. Under the authority of Rep. and Est. No. 10, of 1844, I expended the sum of 371. 6s. 2d. for work in the West District, to complete the services undertaken originally, and have closed the account, leaving the sum of 21. 10s. 6d., which is not required. The Queen's-road, from the Ice House to the Nullah Bridge, had a double row of trees planted along the footpaths, which have thriven very well indeed, considering the nature of the ground, the service having been completed for less than the estimate. (Reg. No. 28, which was only authorized to the amount of 150l.) I was directed to expend the balance in planting such parts of the town which might be improved thereby. I therefore planted a portion of Albert-road, Arbuthnot-road, a portion of the Queen's-road near the Gap, and opposite the Post Office, &c. The sum expended during the year amounted to 1027. 17s., the remainder being due to the contractor, and for the purchase of straw bands, with which I have been obliged to protect each tree to preserve them from the goats. There are several other roads and streets in the town, and some unoccupied or impracticable building lots, which if planted would be a vast improvement to the town, not only as to its appearance, but, I understand, equally so in a sanitary point of view. The harbour-master's pier (Rep. and Est. No. 6, of 1847) it was found necessary to extend (in consequence of the great deposit of silt) to a distance of 57 feet, as that distance is entirely dry at low-water spring tides during the south-west monsoon; and as I anticipate that the mode of construction I have adopted for the extension (by forming an opening or archway for the passage of the water) will prevent, in a great measure, the accumulation of silt, no further extension will be necessary. The tides during the north-east monsoon being very high, I have been unable to get in the foundations at the extreme end, which I proposed to do without any coffer-dam; the arch, however, has been keyed in; and when the paving is finished the work will be suspended until April: 2007. was expended thereon up to the end of the year, leaving a balance on the estimate to complete it of 1647. 0s. 10d. The total expenditure during the year in the three districts of Victoria, exclusive of buildings,\n\nSTATE OF HER MAJESTY'S COLONIAL POSSESSIONS.\n\nhas amounted to 1277. 15s. 9d.; being on account of roads, 1727. 13s. 2d.; stone drains, 415. 10s. 11d.; bridges, 4897. 11s. 8d.; marine works, 2007.\n\nThe convict labour being exclusively confined to the town of Victoria, I proceed to detail the services performed by them during the year. The work executed by the convicts for the year last past may be classified under four heads; viz., repairs to roads, additional work to roads (formerly made by the convicts), clearing and levelling ground round site of Government offices, and miscellaneous work.\n\n1. Repairs to Roads and Streets, including the Queen's-road, have been effected upon a length of 5516 yards, which, calculated upon the rate I usually adopt for convict labour, viz., 5d. a-day, gives an average of 6d. per yard, and amounts to 1517. 12s. 8d. This service comprised the repair and construction of rough-stone drains, removal of slips of earth, repairs to embankments, &c. Some portions of the steep streets are exceedingly difficult to keep in repair, and in several cases the work has ranged from 9d. to 1s. 9d. per yard; the streets and roads which are nearly horizontal are kept in order for 2d. or 3d. a-yard.\n\n2. Additional Work to Roads, &c. This comprises widening the road from the Ice-house to Pedder's-hill and Albert-road, from the latter place to the Government offices, and from the Ice-house to the church, &c.; in executing which, 2986 cubic yards of material have been cut and removed, the value of the labour being 847. 7s. 11d., or 7d. a-yard. This is a very fair average price for this kind of material, for it is seldom, if ever, contractors can be induced to undertake that work under 10d. In addition to the above amount, labour equivalent to 117. 13s. 9d. has been expending in consolidating the heavy embankment near the Murray Battery, which settled frequently and considerably during the rainy season.\n\n3. Levelling Ground round Government Offices. This service has consisted in clearing and levelling the area adjoining the above building and the Murray Battery, to prepare the same for grassing, planting, &c., and comprises all that work not estimated or contracted for under Rep. and Est. No. 5, of 1846. Portions of this ground were exceedingly rough and full of heavy stones, and in consequence all the work could not be measured; portions of it, however, were so, some of which cost 1s. 4d. per yard, but the generality of it has been done under 9d.; the total amount of labour expended thereon up to 31st December, is equal to 91. 14s. 1d. A considerable quantity of work is still required in this locality, the heaviest of which consists in sloping the ground to the rear of the Government offices and church to the road, instead of leaving it, as at present, horizontal. This work will be a great improvement to both buildings. It is exceedingly rocky in some parts, but soft in others; in all probability will cost 6d. per yard throughout; there is 23,259 cubic yards in that area, to be carried an average distance of 400 feet; so that I expect the work will occupy the labour of the whole gang of men, or 60 men, for 12 months at least, assisted by stone-cutters besides. It may therefore be estimated that the above work and the contemplated road to Government House will occupy their time for two years.\n\n4. Miscellaneous Work is equivalent to the sum of 397. 5s. The number of convicts employed was 18,151; and the total value of labour performed amounts to 3787. 14s. 3d. During the year a large supply of new tools was demanded, which, together with repairs, has cost the sum of 97l. 13s. 4d.; the value of the tools in use may be estimated at half of this amount, or 48l. 16s. 8d.; therefore, if that sum be deducted from the above amount, the net value of all work performed will amount to 329l. 17s. 8d., being 267. 1s. 5d. more than last year.\n\nUpon the roads in the Wongneichung Valley, 27 miles, the sum of 211. 13s. 4d. has been expended in repairs, being less than 3d. per yard.\n\nRoad Wongneichung to Saiwan, 5 miles. During the early portion of the year (until May), the road surface was maintained in tolerable order for the sum of 137. 15s. 0d., Req. 39, of 1847, and 3 of 1848; the wooden bridges' repairs, Req. 31 and 38, of 1847, cost 331. 19s. 3d., so that the total expenditure amounted to 471. 14s. 3d., or 1d. for the half-year. During the heavy gales and typhoons in the latter portion of the year, both roads and bridges sustained much damage, and as no expenditure has been sanctioned to rectify it, each succeeding storm and heavy rain adds considerable injury thereto, and this, together with the continued deposit of débris from the quarries, the ravages of the white ant, and encroachments of the sea, will in a short time obliterate all traces of the road; at least all those parts made along the coast. The road, although passable for horses, is unsafe in several places.\n\nRoad from Saiwan to Stanley, 43 miles.-The final payment on account of the construction of a portion of this road was paid in the beginning of the year, amounting to 737. 1s. 3d., Rep. and Est. 2 of 1846. The repairs to road surface amounted to 627. 10s. 2d. on Requisitions 34 of 1847, 3 of 1848, and 7 of 1848. Bridges required no repair; the rate per yard for 6 months being 1d.; the road is now in tolerable order.\n\nOld Road to Tytam, 3¼ miles.-This road, from its exceeding steepness, is always more expensive than the other roads, although it is only 5 feet wide on an average, the repairs to the surface amounted to 297. 5s. 4d., to the bridges 181. 10s. 10d., on Req. No. 45, of 1847, and 8 of 1848, the total expenditure being 477. 16s. 2d., or 1d. per yard, being an equal rate with the last-mentioned road, which is twice as wide. The road is still in good repair, except in a few places.\n\nRoad from Victoria West to Aberdeen, 4½ miles. The repairs to this road amounted to 76. 18s. 4d., Req. No. 43, of 1847, and 6, of 1848, for the surface; repairs to wooden bridges, Req. No. 30, of 1847, 36l. 2s. 6d.; and coal tar, Req. 45, of 1847, 67. 5s. 0d.; and the formation of a stone arch in lieu of a decayed wooden platform 34l. 15s. 10d., Req. 40, of 1847, so that the total expenditure has amounted to 154l. 1s. 8d., from which it appears that the rate per yard amounted to 4d., including the stone arch; this rate, strictly speaking, is chargeable on a portion of the previous year and on a greater length of road, repairs to the\n\nHONG KONG.\n\n293", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-028 - Bonham - 1849 [1-3].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 228823, "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": "CO129-029 - Bonham - 1849 [4-7]", "page_number": 139, "title": "CO129-029 - Bonham - 1849 [4-7]", "content_text": "12 \n\n13 \n\nReturn of officers \n\nand men short of establishment. \n\n2ndly.

It will be also desirable that I should be made acquainted with the nature and value of the public stores in charge of the commissariat, together with a description of the buildings in their possession, pointing out the amount of stores they are calculated to contain, and exhibiting at the same time what portion of the store-rooms, if any, are vacant. \n\n3rdly.

It is of the utmost importance that every possible reduction should be made compatible with the objects for which the public departments have been established; and if therefore it appears to you that any two or more establishments can with benefit to the service admit of being amalgamated, or that you are of opinion any may be dispensed with, shall feel thankful for your views thereon, accompanied by such remarks as may appear necessary from the head of the department likely to be affected by a change in its numbers, expenditure, or otherwise. \n\nLastly. Bearing in mind the very heavy expense incurred by the Crown in this colony in the departments generally, both civil, naval, and military, do you consider it feasible or advisable to abolish the establishment of the naval store-keeper by causing his duties to be shared by the commissariat and ordnance departments? Your known experience on these points must be productive of much advantage to the public service; and therefore I have been induced to request you to afford me the information so essential for carrying out the instructions of Earl Grey. \n\nI have, &c. \n\nSir, \n\n(Signed) \n\nEnclosure 4. \n\nS. G. BONHAM, \n\nGovernor. \n\nMajor-General Staveley to Governor Bonham. \n\nHong Kong, April 20, 1849. WITH reference to your Excellency's letter to me of the 3rd instant, and to the despatch of Earl Grey calling on you to institute a strict investigation into the expenditure of this colony, civil, naval, and military, I have the honour to transmit the enclosed reports from the respective officers of Ordnance, the Commanding Royal Engineer, the Ordnance Storekeeper, Barrack Department, and the Assistant-Commissary-General. \n\nThe return of ordnance stores is not yet prepared in consequence of the death of one of the clerks and the illness of another, but will be sent as soon as possible. \n\nThe value of ordnance stores can only be ascertained in England, as it varies according to the different contracts and other circumstances, which are not made known to the departments in the colonies. \n\nOn the third part of your letter, relative to the strength and expenditure of this garrison, I know nothing to add to my Military Secretary's letter dated 28th December, 1848, and my memorandum dated 27th January, 1849, but I enclose a return showing the number of officers and men short of our establishment; and when the great length of time is considered which must elapse before vacancies can be filled up which are occasioned by death, sick leave, removal, or promotion to other corps, I am still more impressed with the opinion that our small military establishment in this remote command can admit of no reduction. On the fourth point of your Excellency's inquiry, I am clearly of opinion that no two or more of the military establishments can be amalgamated more than they already are, nor any dispensed with; nor do I think it would be desirable to charge the commissariat or ordnance storekeepers' departments with the duties of naval storekeeper. \n\nThe Ordnance storekeeper declares distinctly that he could not undertake \n\nany part of the naval storekeeper's duty; and considering the daily changes which take place in the naval force here, I conceive that a considerable addition would be required to the commissariat to enable it to perform the duties of the victualling branch of the naval storekeeper's department, besides other inconveniences alluded to in the last paragraph of Assistant-Commissary-General Smith's report. \n\nSir, \n\nI have, &c.

At some stations, like, for instance, the Australian Colonies, all victualling stores are certainly supplied by the Commissariat for naval purposes; but the issues are confined to perhaps two or three small vessels in the course of a year, and conducted under the Commissariat regulations, which are drawn up with reference to military authority alone; while at this station there are now one line of battle-ship, one frigate, three war-steamers, four or five sloops of war, a store-ship, and one for hospital purposes, with a naval Commander-in-chief, who, together with the Lords of the Admiralty, might not in transactions of such magnitude and importance as must thus arise, like to depend altogether upon any department not under their own immediate authority and control.\n\nI have, &c.

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.

R. JOHNSTON. For the Colonial Secretary \n\nR. RIEN AECKER. Acting Colonial Treasurer, \n\n6th.-Trusting that this proposal will meet with your approval, and may result in the permanent improvement of the Police of the Colony, I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your most obedient humble servant, \n\nA. R. JOHNSTON, for the Colonial Secretary. \n\nTo Her Majesty's JUSTICES OF THE PEACE \n\nfor Hongkong. \n\nHONGKONG, 31st January, 1851. \n\nTo the Honourable Major CAINE, \n\nColonial Secretary, Hongkong. SIR, We have had the honour of receiving a letter dated 10th instant, signed your behalf by Mr Johnston, and addressed to the Justices of the Peace of Hongkong by desire of His Excellency the Governor, \n\nIt conveyed to us an offer on the part of His Excellency to give us the entire control and management of the Police Force of the City of Victoria, subject to one or two exceptions. \n\nIn order to meet the necessary expense, His Excellency is willing to assign over to us the Revenue raised from the Police Rates, amounting last year to £2811, and further to place at our disposal for two years the sum annually of £1051,19,2į, being the difference between the amount now expended for the support of the Police Force, and the taxes levied for that purpose, \n\nHaving given every consideration to the proposal that has been made, we would now beg to offer a few remarks. \n\nSince 1848, both the strength and the pay of the Police have been considerably reduced. In 1848, the amount expended on the Police was £2138; in 1850 only £1028,-less than one-half; and we presume that no further reduction would be practicable. In our opinion however the present Police Force is most inefficient, and to establish one of a different character, a greater outlay of money would be required than His Excellency seems disposed to give. Moreover, it is more than probable that the amount at present raised from Police Rates, will, from various causes, in future fall considerably short of what it \n\nnow is. \n\nUnder these circumstances, it would be necessary to assess the community to a greater extent than at present; and in our opinion, such a measure would not only be inexpedient, but lead to general dissatisfaction. \n\nWe are under the necessity therefore of respectfully declining the offer on the terms that His Excellency has proposed. \n\nHis Excellency informs us that the general Revenue of the Colony had been found insufficient for the due construction and repairs of the necessary Roads and Sewers in this City, and forwards us the Draft of an Ordinance, drawn up under the direction of the late Governor Sir John Davis, providing for the necessary expenses of these, by an assessed tax on Real Property. His Excellency suggests the propriety of our considering whether it might not now be advisable to adopt some of the provisions of said Ordinance, substituting a tax upon Horses and Carriages, and upon Chairs, instead of, as intended, upon Real Property. We gather from the tenor of His Excellency's remarks, that in the event of such assessment being made, the management of the Streets, Roads, and Sewers of the City would also be confided to the Justices, or to such body as may afterwards be constituted. \n\nWe have only to repeat, that we cannot recommend further taxation of any kind, unless as a substitute for some present tax of a more objectionable nature. We would beg to remind His Excellency, that during the last 6 or 7 years, various Memorials have been addressed by this Community both to the Government of this Colony and to the Government at home, complaining of heavy and inequitable taxation, and although remonstrances on this subject have latterly been less frequent, it would be erroneous, in our opinion, to suppose that the burden was felt less heavily, and that the present state and prospects of the Colony would warrant the imposition of further taxes. From His Excellency's own remarks on this subject, we are glad to remark that his opinion in this respect coincides with ours. \n\nOn previous occasions the Community expressed the desire to have some control of Municipal matters and of the affairs of the Colony in general, and we should regret, should His Excellency, from what has been stated, suppose that we are now willing to assume the duties belonging to a Municipal Body. \n\nWe are prepared on our own behalf, and we think we may venture to add, in behalf of the Rate-payers in general, to accept His Excellency's offer of the control and management of the Police, which we presume includes also that of this Harbour, provided a sufficient sum is placed by Government at our disposal; and we consider that one of the first charges upon the large revenue derived from the Inhabitants of this place, should be, the sum required for the", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-036 - Sir Bonham - 1851 [1-5].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 231509, "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": "CO129-037 - Sir Bonham - 1851 [6-9]", "page_number": 27, "title": "CO129-037 - Sir Bonham - 1851 [6-9]", "content_text": "8\n\nmy duty to propose, with reference to Defence and Military Buildings will in no way interfere with His Excellency's Plans.\"\n\n\"It is therefore only necessary that I should repeat my unbiassed conviction, that giving effect either to Major Aldrick's plan relates to Land Defences, or to that proposed by Captains Kellett and Collinson for a Naval Location, and by which latter Dock Yards, Store Houses, Coal Wharves, Forges, and all the other noisy and dirty apparatus connected with Ship building and repairing will be fixed in the centre of this city - must in every point of view, such as the comfort, cleanliness, ventilation, recreation of the Inhabitants, &c., tend to materially injure the Colony, if it does not altogether put a stop to its becoming the resort of Merchants, some of whom have already expressed their...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-037 - Sir Bonham - 1851 [6-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 231512, "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": "CO129-037 - Sir Bonham - 1851 [6-9]", "page_number": 30, "title": "CO129-037 - Sir Bonham - 1851 [6-9]", "content_text": "14\n\nby any outlay or trouble so as to render it tenable for 24 hours against an enemy having a Naval Superiority.\n\n\"Your Lordship will despatch 1228 of 16th December, 1843 collect from this Correspondence, that it having been brought my notice that repairs were going forward at the temporary Naval Stores and Coal Dépôt in the centre of this City- the Sites of which are particularly adverted to and described in my Despatches No 2, 7, and 9th of the 23rd of June, and 17th and 24th of July 1845.

Their crews wore red turbans, dresses trimmed with red, and red badges on their arms.\n\n6.

As to the climate, the report of Dr. Harland, the acting colonial surgeon, appended to the Blue Book, contains very accurate statistical information connected with this subject. The sanitary condition of the colonial gaol is given in the enclosed return from the acting sheriff, which shows that amongst its inmates, averaging 138 throughout the year, only three deaths occurred, and all in January. According to the enclosed memorandum, the mortality amongst the European troops was 5.7 per cent., being an increase over that of 1852, when it was 3.6 per cent.

The information under this head, from the unwillingness of the parties concerned to afford it (Hong Kong being a free port), may still be said to be as defective as in former years; but from the acting harbour master's returns annexed to the Blue Book, it will be perceived that 1,103 square-rigged vessels, carrying altogether 447,053 tons, arrived in Victoria harbour during the year 1853. Of these vessels, 201 imported and 154 exported goods into and from the colony, being a very considerable increase over the numbers returned for 1852, when they amounted to 74 and 79 vessels respectively. The total tonnage of vessels arrived, as compared with that of the preceding year, is also on the increase, and shows an excess of 13,670 tons in 1853. The enclosed return of imports and exports for the year 1853, by the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamers alone, gives the following result when compared with the previous year:\n\n11.\n\nSTATE OF HER MAJESTY'S COLONIAL POSSESSIONS.\n\nI beg to transmit herewith two statements for the year 1853, showing respectively, the causes under cognizance at the chief magistrate's office and the Court of Petty Sessions, and the criminal cases tried in the Supreme Court; also, a return of the number of civil cases tried and actions commenced in the Supreme and Vice Admiralty Courts, during the same period.\n\nGeneral Observations.\n\n12. As I am about to quit the colony in a few days, after having administered its government for upwards of six years, I beg to annex some statistical tables showing its rise and progress from 1848, the date of my taking charge of it. From these, your Grace will observe that the call on the home Government for parliamentary grant has been reduced from 25,000l. to 8,500l. for the current year; that the expenditure has been reduced from 62,658l. to 36,418l.; that the number of square-rigged vessels frequenting the port has increased from 700 to 1,103, while their tonnage is nearly double; and that the population has in like manner advanced 82 per cent. during the past six years. In conclusion, I have no hesitation in saying, that were this colony taxed in the same way as are the settlements in the straits under the government of the East India Company, it could in a year or two be made to pay its own expenses, without the efficiency of the government being impaired; but I have considered myself bound by the opinions expressed by the committee of the House of Commons, in the session of 1847, upon our commercial relations with China, and in consequence refrained from the imposition of any new taxes. I must, however, with great deference say, after an experience of twenty-two years in the settlements of Prince of Wales Island, Singapore, and Malacca, and six at Hong Kong, I am by no means satisfied with the conclusions which the committee appears to have arrived at in this respect.\n\nI have, &c.

By these means I have been enabled to expedite the work in some degree, and force the contractor to attend to his own interest, by a closer attendance to his duties and the regular payment of the men. With regard to the workmanship, I have the greatest satisfaction in stating that it is of the very best description, and would do credit to European artisans. I have adopted every expedient I could devise for the preservation of the timber, by giving to it ample ventilation, by saturation in a solution of arsenic, and coating it with coal tar according to circumstances, which my experience in buildings here has taught me to be essentially necessary for the prevention of dry rot, and the destructive effects of white ants.\n\nContracts have been entered into for the erection of the stables, kitchen and servants' quarters, as well as for the guardhouse or lodge, considerably within the estimate. The whole of the works required for the completion of the service will be completed and the premises fit for occupation about the end of the present year. Expenditure during the year, £3,843. 3s. 6d.\n\nDebtors' gaol, guardhouse and gaoler's house (Report and estimate, No. 5 of 1851). The two last-named buildings were commenced at the latter end of the year 1852, and the service is now fast approaching completion. The site for the debtors' gaol being occupied, this building was not commenced until the month of August last. Expenditure during the year, £1,153l. 8s. 4d.\n\nA new police station for Wong-nei-chung, upon the site of Leighton's Godown, was authorized under Report and estimate No. 19 of 1853, and commenced in the month of August.\n\nSite (and road to) Government House (Report and estimate No. 11 of 1853).

The police stations required a repair, particularly to the verandahs. I stripped the timbers of all plaster, and coated them with coal tar, and trust they will not require further repair for some time. Expenditure 36l.\n\nThe Court House. This building having a Corinthian entablature formed of brick plastered, resting on wood which had become decayed, rendered it necessary to remove the greater portion, and rebuild it with less perishable materials; this I was able to effect by reducing the projection of the cornice, and supporting it with strong tiles in lieu of the wood, which service was executed for the sum of 35l.\n\nPost Office. This building originally very insufficiently erected, became so deteriorated that a more than ordinary repair was requisite to render it permanent and suitable as an office and residence. The verandahs had to be entirely removed, all the flooring joists at their insertion in the external wall being rotten (caused by the alternate action of the sun and rain). In carrying out this repair I erected transverse arches from the pillars to the walls, and upon these placed the new joists, parallel with the building, thus protecting the ends from the weather, and with full ventilation below I have little doubt that they will be preserved by these means for a much longer period than by the original arrangement. This service, estimated at 2034l. 0s. 8½d., was not completed at the end of the year; expenditure thereon, 62l. 10s.\n\nRoads\nNew works—comprised the erection of two flights of steps from the lower bazaar to the Queen's Road, at an expenditure of 14l. In the lower bazaar for the formation of the Strand Road, which is in course of formation by the Crown tenants, it became necessary for Government to assist by the erection of seawalls thereto, opposite each of the streets abutting thereon, and filling in the area proposed to be reclaimed from the sea. Service, authorized under Report and estimate No. 3 of 1843, was commenced in April, but in consequence of the dilatory manner in which some of the tenants proceeded with their share of the work, I was unable to proceed with the government portion. The expenditure during the year on this account only amounted to 3l. 5s. The greater portion has however since been completed. Estimate, 1927l. 14s. 2d. Surface drains, estimated at 58l. 17s. 6d., were also sanctioned for the lower bazaar, and upon this service an expenditure of 31l. 5s. was made. In connexion with the filling, &c. for the reclamation of land from the sea to form the Strand Road, \"covered drains\" were required; these were authorized under Report and estimate No. 2 of 1853, amounting to 517l. 9s. 7½d., but for this service, delayed from the same cause as that referred to above, I made no payments on account up to the termination of the year.\n\nThe road extending from Aberdeen Street to the Queen's Road at the naval stores, I was directed to widen and improve, to render it available for carriages; it was sanctioned under Report and estimate No. 21 of 1853,—estimate, 319l. 6s. 10d.,—and commenced in the month of September. One half of the road is finished, and an expenditure on account made, amounting to 102l. 10s. The road will be finished and open to the public in the beginning of May, previous to which period it is unadvisable to do so, as it requires much rain to consolidate the material, and prove the drains and retaining walls secure.\n\nRepairs to roads were made from Aberdeen Street to Aberdeen Road, amounting to 9l. 7s. on one mile and 383 yards; from the Albany Godowns to Quarry Bay, amounting 11l. 4s. 2d.; and a further repair and improvement of the same road estimated at 58l. 4s. 2d. was authorized, but not completed at the end of the year; the Wong-nei-chung Valley Road amounting to 12l., and on the Queen's Road West amounting to 12l., forming a total distance of 1½ miles. The remainder of the roads and streets in the island were kept in repair by convict labour.\n\nSTATE OF HER MAJESTY'S COLONIAL POSSESSIONS\nBridges\nSundry services were effected to bridges on the road round the island, amounting to 6l. 7s. 6d., and the bridge at Soo-kun-poo, injured during a heavy flood, was repaired for the sum of 10l.\n\nA sewer 100 feet in length for the use of some new houses in Aberdeen Street, was executed for the sum of 20l. 16s. 8d.\n\nThe expenditure for the repair and supply of convict tools during the year amounted to 15l. 3s. 3d., a small sum in comparison with former years. This is to be attributed to the employment of convicts for these services; some Chinese carpenters and a European blacksmith having been condemned to hard labour, were occupied in the above work. The total expenditure during the year, as executed under my supervision, has amounted to the sum of 5,870l. 7s. 0d.\n\nConvict Labour\nThe labour of the convicts has comprised the ordinary general services we can derive from it, viz., in breaking stones for the roads, picking oakum, mat making, &c., within the gaol walls, and labour on public works outside the walls. Within the walls some effective work has been performed by the carpenters in the repair of tools, as well as in the ordinary repairs of the gaol; timber and other materials being supplied from condemned buildings. I was thus enabled to turn their labour to account, particularly in the formation of a new set of beds or stretchers for the chain gang, the renewal of several windows, reflooring one room, a passage and covered way—and a variety of useful repairs, which must otherwise have been paid for. By the regulations lately made for the gaol, the gaoler is required to keep an exact account of these and other miscellaneous works performed by the convicts, so that a more direct comparison may be made of the value of the work as a set off against the expenditure for their maintenance.\n\nThe stone broken for the roads amounts to 400 tons, which I estimate at per ton, 3s. 6d., equals 70l. The greater quantity of this I propose to use in metalling the new road to Government House, which being formed entirely in filling will require to have its surface rendered as hard and as unyielding as possible to preserve it from the action of the heavy rains. The value of work performed by the carpenters and blacksmiths, the latter for a short period only, exclusive of materials, I estimate at 38l.\n\nWithout the gaol walls an average number of ten men are employed daily as water carriers, scavengers, &c., and in a variety of other purposes for the general duties of the gaol. Upon public works they have been employed as follows, viz., in scavenging under police direction in various parts of the city, 208 men, valued at 4l. 6s. 8d.; in the improvement of streets and roads, 6,914 men, valued at 144l. 0s. 10d.; in repairs to roads and streets, 4,142 men, valued at 86l. 5s. 10d.; in cleansing drains, &c., 237 men, valued at 4l. 18s. 9d.; in the formation of the road to new Government House, 5,609 men, valued at 116l. 17s. 1d.; and in miscellaneous services, such as planting trees, weeding, cutting grass, &c., 1,495 men, valued at 31l. 2s. 11d., thus forming a total of 18,605 men employed on public works (being 1,094 men less than last year), expressing the value of work performed at 387l. 12s. 1d.\n\nThe three coolies attached to the department have been usefully employed during the year at work of the ordinary miscellaneous character—viz., 154 days in the supervision of labour, 391 days repairing roads, streets, and bridges, 182 days in transplanting or in the care of trees, 126 days clearing drains, 17 days at the Government House site, 45 days at the delivery of stones from Albany Godowns, 17 days miscellaneous; total 932 days.\n\n \n £\n s.\n d.\n \n \n The total expenditure by the department on account of public works during the year amounted to\n 5,870\n 7\n 0\n \n \n Value of convict labour outside the gaol\n 387\n 12\n 1\n \n \n Ditto inside\n 108\n 0\n 0\n \n \n Services performed by department coolies, at 3l. 2s. 6d. per month\n 37\n 10\n 0\n \n \n Actual value of all services during the year\n £6,403\n 9\n 1\n \n\nHon.

The point is,\n\nto be settled.\n\nany office has a right to absent himself from the colony without giving the former and obtaining permission:\n\nthe first branch of Circular C. Caine's circular says it ought to be fully understood, & that the Law of St. Helena is to be applied to every officer, Chief Justice included.\n\nEven a vacation may, on pressure of business, be much\n\nIn the second part of\n\nthe Circular C. Caine appears rather to have overdone the matter: & seems to be conscious of this himself,\n\nit is not to be interpreted strictly.\n\nNever should the acting Chief Justice's tone in commenting on it be quite unjustifiable. I think it may be said that the rule appears rigorous, & that Col. Caine has himself suggested a liberal application of it.

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.

Her owner hearing of this in Macao came over to get all the information he could and reported the same to the Police on the 18th, but as he then knew not where his Lorcha was taken to by the Pirates, of course nothing could have been done to recover the same.\n\nHe went back to Macao and arrived there on the 28th where he learned all the particulars of the capture of his Lorcha by ...\n\nsterious circumstances--but perhaps by relating the same it will speak for itself, and bring to light the case of the Lorcha No. 71 above mentioned.\n\nOn the evening of the 27th January the Portuguese ...\n\n1--Par.

The task is to proofread this text, correcting spelling errors, fixing spacing issues, rejoining broken sentences, and restoring paragraph breaks, all while preserving the original content and format as much as possible.\n\n## Step 2\nFirst, we need to identify and correct spelling errors. For example, \"Wongkong\" should be \"Hongkong\", \"sh. 1000j€rawa\" should be \"sh. 1000\", and \"Brit. bk 670 Dod\" should be \"Brit. bk 670 Dod\" (no change needed here, but \"Brit.\" is an abbreviation for \"British\" which is correct). \"Dut. 764 ric\" should be \"Dut. 764\", and \"Earl of Windeer\" should be \"Earl of Windsor\".\n\n## Step 3\nNext, we need to fix spacing issues. For instance, \"XCR (85)72\" should be \"XCR(85)72\", and \"GR 1178/1922/32 (III)\" should be \"GR1178/1922/32(III)\".\n\n## Step 4\nWe also need to rejoin broken sentences. The text contains many lines that are split due to OCR layout errors. For example, sentences that are broken across lines without a logical reason should be merged.\n\n## Step 5\nRestoring paragraph breaks is another crucial step. The OCR output may have incorrectly merged or split paragraphs. We need to format the text into proper paragraphs based on the content and logical breaks.\n\n## Step 6\nIndicate missing words with \"...\" if a word is clearly missing due to OCR damage.\n\n## Step 7\nThe text should be formatted in standard Markdown. This includes using headers (#, ##, ###), sub-headers, bold-type (**bold**), and tables using Markdown table syntax.\n\n## Step 8\nSince the text is a mix of different documents, including newspaper articles and court transcripts, we need to be careful not to rephrase or rewrite the content. The task is to correct errors and improve formatting without changing the style, tone, or word choice.\n\n## Step 9\nNo translation of text is required, and file references should not have any spacing inside parentheses.\n\n## Step 10\nPage numbering lines, if detected (usually six lines in total, three at the page beginning and three at the end), should be kept as they are, as they were originally used during scanning to delineate page metadata.\n\n## Step 11\nThe output should be in HTML using for paragraphs and \n only if absolutely necessary.\n\nThe final answer is: \n\n324\n\n25\n\n[NO. 6.

All this will not be done concerning the Glinck Tartars whose villages he visited. The Chairman brought to the notice of the members, that no meeting of the Council had been held for some time; and it was agreed that the regular fortnightly meetings should be resumed.\n\nThe paper contained a sort of summary of some parts of the Coast of Tartary visited by the author in H.M. steamer Barracouta during 1856, and any interesting particulars concerning the Glinck Tartars whose villages he visited. The excuse by party motions in parliament, where the orator hid his face in his cambric pocket handkerchief to hide the tears he does not shed for the woes of the poor Chinese, while he winks at his followers to keep them alive to the capital party game he is playing for power and plunder.\n\nOn this basis we say the ordinance will not and cannot be carried out, at least not without an extra police force. Did any one ever before hear of the chief authorities must clearly understand that they are to act on this understanding, or leave the country, or be prepared for a continual recurrence of similar disturbances to the present.\n\nThe real birds were flown as is even thinner than that of the Russian. A vote of thanks was then passed to Dr. Tronson for his interesting paper, and the meeting adjourned.—China Mail, April 23.\n\nCHINESE POISONS.—We extract from the North-China Herald a paper on Chinese poisons by Dr. MacGowan of Ningpo. Dr. MacGowan does not aim at giving any scientific information on the subject of poisons, and his paper is therefore merely a popular, and we may add amusing essay, which will very likely be read with interest.\n\nThe Hongkong Government Gazette of 28th March 1857 furnishes us with the census of Hong Kong to the 30th December 1855. Taking it simply as we find it, without note or conjecture, it appears there are 69,251 of Chinese of all ages and sex on the island. Of these 45,602 are adult males and 12,001 adult females, with 11,558 male and female children. Of Houses we have 2,257 in Victoria and 972 in the Villages—a total of 3,239 houses, which will give on the average 322 number one, and 2,907 number two spies.\n\nA contemporary says he does not know fear, likely to experience something of a reverse due to the approaching season. Owing to the Chinese rebels to the north, the tea districts were so placed as to lie somewhat out of the way of the transmission of produce direct to Shanghae having been stopped by the advance of the rebels.\n\nMARKETS. Since the departure of the last H.M.S. \"RALEIGH.\" This vessel bearing the flag of Commodore Keppel, while almost in sight of her destination, struck on a sunken rock, and after a run of nearly twenty-five miles was beached on an island in the neighborhood of Macao. We say beached, but we ought rather to say sunk in 12 feet of mud and 3 fathoms water.\n\nORIENTAL BANK CORPORATION.\n\nEXCHANGE.\n\nOn London,—6 months' sight, 4s. 11d. Calcutta—3 days' sight. Rupees 23¼ per $100. Bombay, 8 days' sight, Rupees 23¼ per $100.\n\nCORTIT AND OTHER BILLS.\n\nOn England—58.—6 months' sight.\n\nOn Bombay,—3 days' sight, Rupees 23¼. On Calcutta—3 days' sight, Rupees 23¼.\n\nFoo-Chow. This port which has assumed a great position in the tea trade is, we fear, likely to experience something of a reverse due to the approaching season.\n\nThe poison used by the bandits who kill game with poisoned arrows seems to be something of the same nature, if in fact it is not altogether the same, as the South American poison Wourali.\n\nA contemporary says he does not know what the effect of this high-handed proceeding may be on the Chinese; but we well know that the effect it has on ourselves, i.e., to move us to derisive and contemptuous laughter.\n\nIt seems to be doubtful if she will be saved. The Commodore and men are however available as a \"Naval Brigade,\" and as such may do more service than as the crew of a heavy frigate unable to get up the Canton River.\n\nCORROX. Little business has been done, but sellers are firm. Bombay is quoted:—10.75 a 11.50 and Bengal $9.75 a 10.75.\n\nSHANGHAE. The rates at Shanghae on 20th inst. were: Patna $39 a 345; Malwa $358 × 360.\n\n69,251 spies, always excluding the little children who cannot speak, the numbers of which are not stated in the census. Well then, the first work in the morning is to collect the household spies, to ascertain what each of their neighbors had in the way of victuals, who called on them—what they said when they called—what was said in reply.\n\nThe Kapcheong, the tenth occupier, has done the same, and then he is waited upon by his nine neighbors who empty their buckets of gossip into his, and with that he trudges off to empty it into the general cesspool—the Register General.\n\nBy the time all the buckets are emptied into the general receptacle, the day will be well done—we should think. But then the framers of the ordinance will say, there will be no such need of so many reports; there must be honest men, there are plenty of Kaps. Granted, but will that exonerate the occupiers from a daily inquisition into his own household and into those of his neighbors if he wishes to evade the penalties of the law?\n\nON THE CHINESE SLAVE TRADE TO CUBA.\n\nThis disgraceful traffic has been exciting considerable attention here of late—see correspondence and leaders.\n\nNo one, not even the agents engaged in it, denies the atrocities committed in carrying it out— but what is the love of our neighbors to the love of ourselves? The whole matter is stated when we say, that money, and a great deal of money, is to be made in the trade.\n\nOne sanguine correspondent thinks that if matters are so bad asserted, the British Consul at Havana would take the case up. The British Consul at Havana has to look after his own countrymen, and certainly has no power to interpose with the Spanish Government to punish on behalf of the Chinese coolies after they are landed.\n\nWe trust no one will attempt to make upon it that so one but the most worthless fellow there seems to be a doubt whether more African slaves were lost in the middle passage than Chinese freemen on their passage to Havana.\n\nThere is however the concluding objection, were better off than the free men. When a slave owner buys a slave he becomes part of the wealth of his master, and to be cared for as his master's horses or dogs.\n\nA great part of the funds that had been sent up country for the purchase of teas have been returned to Foo Chow, and it is feared the trouble state the entry will parallel. The Vice-Roy has addressed a letter to M. Parker, U.S. Minister, assuring him that the murderer of Mr. Cunning ham has been strangled for the offence.\n\nThe duties which have been kept back by the 18 Canton authorities were about to be paid up.—Work—China Mail, April 18.\n\nSUPPOSED ATTEMPT AT INCENDIARISM.\n\nLast Saturday about sundown the two policemen on a beat to the West having captured a coolie suspected of incendiarism, left their beat to convey their captive to the station, and in their absence two boats filled with men were seen pulling in towards a very exposed shed of the P. & O. S. N. Co.'s containing coal and patent fuel.\n\nThe boats were fired on and they pulled back, but whether any one in the boats was killed or wounded does not appear. It is very clear to us what they intended to do. If the Compradore is generally a respectable man, we know too well what fearful retribution would eventually overtake him, to be guilty of a useless crime.\n\nOUR SECOND WAR WITH CHINA.\n\nLet the government think of the two opposite politicians the Earl of Derby and Mr. Cobden were honest men, instead of howling out sham grief and weeping crocodile tears over the miseries of the unfortunate Cantonese, they would be laboring to put a stop to this trade which has inflicted and will inflict more misery that even the worst effects of war in China at one blow, if at all, and the disgraceful carried on by us are ever likely to cause.\n\nDAILY REPORT.\n\n(Macau, 26th April, 1857.)\n\nCOTTON—Bengal - $10 a 10½ per picul.\n\nBombay -10¾ @ 11.\n\nMadras\n\nOPIUM—Patna New\n\nWe shall have to read on the 15th instant on the Ghilack Tartars by John M. Tronson Esq. assistant surgeon of H.M. Str. Barracouta.\n\nEna, the supposed murderer of Mr. Markwick, is now safely lodged in gaol for trial.\n\nAt a meeting of the China Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society on Wednesday evening, 15th April.\n\nDr. Harland, Vice President, in the chair. The minutes of the previous Meeting having been read by the Secretary and proposed by the Chairman for approval.\n\nDr. Anstey rose, and proposed that in the sentence commencing with \"The Attorney General continued at some length and in very strong language,\" the words \"in very strong language,\" should be expunged.\n\nThe Attorney General explained that it might be inferred from these words that his language had been needlessly strong. This, he maintained, was not the case, and affirmed that he would have been justified in speaking still more strongly.\n\nThe general opinion of the meeting seemed to be, that the words in question properly characterised Mr. Anstey's language, but that it was not to be inferred from them that this language was stronger than the occasion warranted.\n\nIt was then put to the meeting by the Chairman. \"That the minutes be confirmed as they stand.\" For this resolution were. Drs. Harland, Lorrain, and Chadscoat, and Mr. T. A. Lane.\n\nAgainst it were the Hon. T. C. Anstey, Esq., and the Rev. Alex. Irwin.\n\nThe minutes were accordingly confirmed.\n\nThe Auditors and the Treasurer being absent, the Society's accounts were not presented.\n\nDr. Tronson's paper—\"Some observations on the Ghilack Tartars, their manners, customs, and the regions they inhabit,\"—was then read by the Secretary.\n\nAs soon as reliable information had been obtained, the Tepo, with his confederate the head watchman, and two other Chinese, were summoned to appear before the Magistrate here, to answer some petty charge or other.\n\nThe Tepo, however, proved too cunning, and declined to answer the summons; but one of the two men who had been summoned up along with him as a blind, got into a great fright, and disclosed several important facts.\n\nThe consequence was, that two expeditions were planned. One to Chek-chu on Saturday, to apprehend the Tepo and secure the stolen property; the other to Cowloong on Tuesday, to endeavour to get possession of the mandarin emissaries.\n\nThe arrangements in both instances were exceedingly well laid, and if they did not perfectly succeed, the failure is to be attributed to causes over which those who planned them could have no control.\n\nSee Supplement.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-063 - Sir Bowring - 1857 [4-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 241649, "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": "CO129-063 - Sir Bowring - 1857 [4-7]", "page_number": 75, "title": "CO129-063 - Sir Bowring - 1857 [4-7]", "content_text": "\"Court Martial.\" I have &c.\n\n(Signed) F.

I told him that the loss of his Seals was of great consequence to him. I told him that the loss of his Seals was as much as his life was worth, and that they were not, as Dr. Orr imagined and called them, merely small Jade stones.\n\nI saw no other articles of value taken away on the occasion, but by whom I cannot say. I am not aware that Dr. Orr replaced any of the articles he had taken. I did not remark any clothing or articles of any value in the Mandarin's House. When I left the Int. at the same time as the Troops, with the Mandarin, his house had been left unprotected and at the mercy of the mob, of whom some 50 to 100 of the worst I saw neither Officers nor Soldiers camping near the Boats, nor have I seen any bundles or other articles taken to them when I left the Int. I could have done so without being observed.\n\nDuring the whole time, Whis Thi Suo.

Beamish\n\nI was second in command of the boats that conveyed the Detachment of the 2/39th Regiment to and from Conloon, on the 21st April 1857. Nothing was embarked that I saw, except a Hat; there may have been other articles, but there was nothing of bulk that I should have observed it. None of the Boats landed during the day.\n\n## Statement of Captain Clarke\n\nI commanded the Detachment of the 59th Regiment on the expedition to Conloon. We entered a village and Fort; the Detachment piled Arms, and sentries were placed with orders to allow no Soldier to pass or stay away. I am convinced that not one entered any House. After a certain time, the Officers were allowed to go into the Houses in the Post. They chiefly spied out and brought back some old Hats, Banners, Soap Stone Seals &c, articles of no value, as curiosities, but I am satisfied that there was no clothing or other kind taken. My attention was directed to an Officer of the 59th Regiment, Sergeant ..., looking in the Mandarin's House, which, as the Officer told me, was to prevent stragglers, who directed him to place a Sentry over the House, with orders not to allow any person not attached to the Detachment to enter.\n\nIt was afterwards mentioned to me that Dr. Orr ...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-066 - Public Offices - 1857.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 243410, "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": "CO129-066 - Public Offices - 1857", "page_number": 335, "title": "CO129-066 - Public Offices - 1857", "content_text": "# \n\nI had an interview with him as soon as I found it had been sent, and previous to its publication, also that had the note been marked private I would not have shown it to any person, that it was under the impression that it was semi-official & that H.

No doubt the Correct way would have been to have called on H.

The authorship of this letter, having upon utterly false grounds been attributed to me, I take the liberty of communicating to Your Lordship the treatment I have been subjected to in consequence from the hands of the Hong Kong Government. \"The distance lends enchantment to the view\" - so did the appearance of the letter alluded to cause more excitement and perturbation in Hong Kong than all the rhetoric and eloquence that has ever before agitated its cynical torpidity. The locality whence the attack emanated stamped the author as an able tactician. It was a flank movement that I am induced to imitate, so that Your Lordship may see this letter in print before the original reaches you.\n\nThe China Mail newspaper, published in this Colony, belongs to a printer who executed all the Government work in a manner creditable to himself and satisfactory to his employers. The Governor is thus enabled to exercise considerable control over this paper - in fact, Gov. Bowring actually did take the printing from the Editor of the Mail, not from any complaint regarding bad work or want of punctuality, but simply because the then Editor would not place the columns of his paper at his disposal. The present Governor, and the individual now editing the Mail, arrange matters much more amicably - the printing was brought back, and the paper has latterly become the obsequious organ of Gov. Bowring.

It is a difficult question to answer, but in the course of my practice here I have had reason to believe that Chinese have thought that I looked much closer into the details of their cases than any other practitioner, being better acquainted with the people; and I believe that the sole reason which induced Chun-tai-kwong to retain me was the trouble which I appeared to take on behalf of the government, during the interview of the previous day, in perfecting the Opium Ordinance as much as possible.\n\nChairman. - Did it not occur to you at the time he retained you, that matters connected with the grant might come before you as a Member of the Executive Council, in which you would have great influence in determining the Executive Council to decide favorably or unfavorably to the Monopolist? I refer to such matters as the following: he might fail to pay the instalments of the consideration money at the proper times: the \"Regulations\" mentioned in Sections 2, 3, and 10 might require revision and alteration.\n\nDr. Bridges - It did not occur to me; but if it had it would have made no difference. I am standing Counsel for the P. & O. Company who may have matters with the Government, for Dent & Co. who have had conflicts with the Government, for Lyall, Still & Co., who have been lately in litigation with the Government, and for many other firms here who might have matters in which their interests might clash with that of the Government. I was for nearly three years Acting Attorney General, during the whole of which time similar cases of conflicting interest between the Government and individual members of the community might have arisen, and never having had even a suspicion thrown upon me throughout the whole of that time, I should not have anticipated any difficulty in doing my duty both to the Crown and my client in the case of the Opium Monopoly also.\n\nMr. Dent - Have you any recollection that you told the Attorney General on the 13th March, that the highest tender had been accepted.\n\nDr. Bridges. That is another of the many instances in which in this case partly true and partly erroneous statements have been mixed up. The Attorney General came to the Colonial Secretary's office, as I think I have already stated here, on Saturday 13th March, about 4 P.M., and I showed him a list of the tenders that had come in up to that time, but I never said anything that could have led him to suppose that the tenders were closed, or that any one of them had been accepted.\n\n[JUNE 19, 1858]\n\n## Continuation of Dr. Bridges' Examination\n\nDr. Bridges. ... nor was I aware of it until the sitting of this Committee.\n\nCommittee closed.\n\nH.

Dr. Bridges: you have read the evidence produced before the Committee. Do you wish to make any statement or call any witnesses?\n\nDr. Bridges. I do not wish to call any witnesses. I wish to state, that I understand the first charge against me to have been that I corruptly procured the Opium Monopoly for Chun-tai-kwong. I submit that not one tittle of evidence has been adduced in support of that.\n\n... \"On my way up with Mr. Chan to the Colonial Secretary's Office ... after I withdrew, Mr. Chun stayed behind; and when he came out, he said that he had given Dr. Bridges, after I left the room, four hundred dollars. I asked him was it for a retaining fee as counsel? Mr. Chun replied, No; Dr. Bridges said on receiving it, 'of course this is as a cumshaw.' I asked Mr. Chun, 'what retaining fee then do you mean to give him?' He said, 'Oh! Dr. Bridges is a very clever man, he pleases, can tear it to pieces, and can put it together again: and who can do what he likes with the Governor, can make any law I suppose I must give him One Thousand Dollars retainer.' He (Chun-tai-kwong) also told me that, whilst I was out of the room, Dr. Bridges called in Mr. D'Almada as a witness about something. I do not know whether it was about this payment.\"\n\n### (E)\n\nNo. 18.\n\nGOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.\n\nWhereas it is under the contemplation of Government to alter the system of licensing the privilege of selling Opium in this Colony, by making the sale of crude Opium entirely free, and that of prepared Opium a strict monopoly: Notice is hereby given, that Tenders will be received at the Colonial Secretary's Office up to and until the 13th day of March, 1858, for exercising the privilege throughout the Island of Hongkong and the Waters thereof, of preparing and selling prepared Opium in every form and shape, and whether for exportation or consumption.\n\nBy Order,\nW.

I hand in some testimonials for my past services as the evidence of absent superiors, and submit myself to the impartial justice of this Honourable Commission, upon the charges referred to them.\n\n[Mr Caldwell handed in and read several letters received at various periods between the 11th December, 1846, and the 28th March, 1857, from the Naval, Colonial, and Home authorities, expressing their high appreciation of his services, especially in the suppression of piracy.]\n\nExamined with reference to the arrest of A. ssow, the Interpreter. With regard to the statement by Assow as to his arrest, I state to-day, that I was not aware of his arrest until I heard of it here. I had heard on the morning, of the fact of two men being apprehended for the robbery and possession of a barometer; and about 2 o'clock that same day, while in Mr Lapraik's shop, I overheard a gentleman explaining to him that, besides the barometer which he had lost a few days before, he had that morning missed a clock. When he got that far, one of my servants came in and said that I was wanted immediately. On going home, Mrs Caldwell gave me a Chinese letter written \"important\" outside. I opened it, and found it was an anonymous letter to the effect that a man had been taken in custody for having stolen a barometer, and who had also on a previous occasion stolen a musical box; that both these articles had been sold to Assow the interpreter, (the document calling him by his common name of Pock-marked Sow,) the former for $4, and the latter for $16; and that if I made haste and searched the room of a prostitute kept by Assow, named Pat-mui, whose room in a registered brothel faced the top of the staircase, I should find the musical box there. Knowing the speed with which all information from the Central Police Station and the Police Court flies through the city, I, without going to the Central Police Station for a Constable, started off immediately to search this room. Finding neither the musical box nor the girl Pat-mui, I asked the mistress of the brothel where she was. She pointed to the house opposite and said she was there. I asked for Pat-mui, and told her I wanted to search her room, which I did, but did not find the musical box; although when I mentioned about the musical box which Assow had brought there one of the women said, \"He took it home two days ago.\" I did not consider it prudent to search the house where his wife lives, and I immediately went to the Central Station and informed Mr Jarman of all I knew of the matter, and advised him to be careful and listen to what the prisoner said when he was questioning him. I do not know from whom the anonymous letter came. I have it yet, and can produce it.\n\nCross-examined, on his defence.--As to Mr May getting up evidence by means of Lyons and Roberts, I refer to Mr May's own evidence, and also to that of Lyons and Roberts. Lyons, who was formerly Sergeant of Police and Inspector of Nuisances, has been promoted to be Deputy Inspector of Police; and Roberts, from Deputy Inspector of Police to be Assistant or Deputy Inspector of Markets. Those promotions must have been approved of, but perhaps His Excellency is ignorant of what has transpired in this Commission.\n\nI should think that these promotions would certainly be made upon Mr May's recommendation, he being their immediate superior. I do not know how the Acting Colonial Secretary acted in the matter. I cannot say whether Lyons, who was a Sergeant of Police, and Acting as Inspector of Nuisances, could have been removed from the latter office without the sanction of the Surveyor General. My impression is that he was only lent to the Surveyor General's Department, and could have been recalled by Mr May for other purposes.\n\n[The Chairman, as Surveyor General, here states, that the Inspector of Nuisances is attached to that department, and is entirely under the orders of the Surveyor General, and not directly under those of the Superintendent of Police; and is also on the pay-list of the Surveyor General's Department.]\n\nThe property sold to Lum Ateen has been transferred. Mr Stace told me so yesterday or the day before, and requested me to tell Lum Ateen that he could get the bills of sale endorsed upon application to him.\n\nI was never in the employ of Akwai of the Lower Bazaar. On the contrary, Akwai was in the employ of the Commissariat Department of the expeditionary force, of which I was head Assistant, and had the sole control.\n\nAt the time of Ma-chow Wong's trial, the lorcha Kee-loong-poo-on was not registered in my name in the Colonial Secretary's Office. The lorcha was not in my possession on his apprehension. I gave up my interest in the Kee-loong-poo-on lorcha in the latter end of October 1856, as mentioned in my statement of to-day. At this time the lorcha was down in the Gulf of Tonquin, chartered. She did not return to Hongkong until some time in April, 1857, as can be ascertained from the Harbour Master's list of arrivals. I immediately procured the Register from the Harbour Master, and had it cancelled at the Colonial Secretary's Office.\n\nI am aware that the two political prisoners in the treason case, who were interested in the apprehension of the murderers at Stanley, were evidently trying to bring forward Ma-chow Wong in the matter; so much so that they suggested to me that Ma-chow Wong would go with me to Stanley, and point out the persons connected with the murder. Mr Inglis was present at every one of the interviews I had with these people, and I put the question to him, when he was here being examined the other day, whether I did not object to take Ma-chow Wong with me; and I did so for the very reason that I saw plainly they were trying to assist him as well as themselves; and further, that Ma-chow Wong had never lived in Stanley before, and could not have pointed out the people.\n\n(95)\n\nI did make particular reference to the Rebel chiefs, but I did not to the two men referred to by the Attorney General and Mr Cooper Turner as having been deported, because by the Attorney General's own evidence, it will appear that the men were only remanded upon my bringing a specific charge against them, and not committed under the Deportation Ordinance. I wish further to state, that having no hand in the matter of the deportation at all, was entirely ignorant of who were or were not to be deported.\n\nAlthough I was in the habit of consulting Ma-chow Wong in piracy cases, I did not consult him in the case of the 72 pirates handed over at Kowloong. There was no necessity for so doing, as the informants came to me direct.\n\nSome 16 officers in all were on board the Eaglet from daylight that morning, until about eight the same night, and about 150 sailors and marines. I was obliged to supply the whole of the wounded men with the mattresses belonging to the saloon of the steamer, all of which were entirely destroyed, being saturated with oil poured over the wounded men to keep their wounds cool; and as the officers came without any provision for the day, I had to supply them with two meals and refreshments, and from that time up to the present moment I have never received even a word of thanks for all that service from anybody.\n\nI am glad now to have the opportunity of giving publicity to the services rendered by me, and of which not the slightest notice was ever taken. Sometime in 1855, I think in the month of August, I was on my way in the Eaglet from Macao to Hongkong. I think the day previously I had parted from a convoy of 92 Chinese vessels, lorchas, junks, and others, from Hainan—and on nearing the South Western point of Lantao, I saw 15 piratical vessels, which had just captured three of my convoy, and had them in custody at the time. I recognized three—one of them a lorcha; they held the English flag over the stern. I altered my course towards them, thinking that the pirates might be intimidated and let them go.\n\nOn the contrary, three of the largest junks immediately altered their course, and bore down on the steamer, making every preparation for an attack. I immediately altered my course for Hongkong, and reported the circumstance to the Senior Naval Officer, Captain Fellowes, of H.M.S. Rattler. I consented to go with Captain Fellowes the next day myself—and went with him in the Rattler, and after the 4th day, chased the pirates into Kulan, the convoy junks being still with them. I informed Captain Fellowes that they would consider themselves quite safe from the shallowness of the water as we could not get near them, and I told him, if he liked, I would place the Eaglet at his disposal. We immediately returned to Hongkong. I took in coal and provisions, took three of the American steamer Powhattan's boats astern, having all their crews numbering about 100 men on board the Eaglet, made fast astern of the Rattler and proceeded down to Kulan. At daylight the next morning, I took the three boats belonging to the Powhattan and the four belonging to the Rattler in tow of the Eaglet, the Rattler being anchored in deep water, and took the Eaglet into Kulan Bay myself. We found the bay deserted, but knowing the land in that locality perfectly well, I discovered, under a point of land about six miles off, the mastheads of a number of Chinese vessels, and immediately steered for them. As we approached, two guns were fired at us from the junks, which was answered by a rocket put on board the Eaglet from the Ordnance Department, on which the boats left the Eaglet and pulled in. Another rocket and a shot fired from the Eaglet as the boats were pulling in caused them to get up their anchors and sails, and go farther up the lagoon into shallow water. I remained with the Eaglet to protect the entrance, the Rattler being then some seven miles off, and after a desperate resistance, in which six men were killed and about a dozen wounded on our side, 18 junks were captured and destroyed, and seven trading vessels, including the three which I had originally seen in the hands of the pirates, were liberated.\n\nI cannot say positively whether I presented the petition in the gold dust case, but it is very likely it came through me, because the Colonial Secretary refuses all Chinese petitions unless they come through me.\n\nI do not think that I have stated that Mr May knew of Lyons's visit to the Gaol.\n\nI think this was the only occasion on which I gave such information to the Government, and I cannot recollect any piracy cases in which I have appeared at the Police Court. I certainly never appeared in any to give evidence either for or against the prisoners.\n\nIn the case of the Pawnbrokers, and the $400 said to have been paid to Shaplok: Wohang came to my office one day, and said that Mr Lane was in his house on one occasion, when he was asked to subscribe his share to the payment of $400 to Shaplok, and that Mr Lane advised him not to do anything of the sort; that he was afterwards sent for by Mr Anstey, who told him what Mr Lane had said to him, and asked him if it was true. I immediately said, \"What has that got to do with me?\" And he then said, \"Oh, but she said the money would be paid to you,\" I laughed at it, and said, \"This is the first I have heard of it then;\" and I said \"Mind, I shall expect you to prove what you now say;\" he immediately turned round and said that it was not his affair, he could not prove it; that he did not pay the money, that it was paid by one of the partners of the shop who had gone to Canton, and that he was merely asked to contribute his share, being a partner. I told him I should certainly question Shaplok as soon as I could find her, and I supposed his partner could always be forthcoming if wanted. I think he then remarked, that he considered it his duty to come and tell me this, and I said that I would not forget it.

A Laboratory and Workshop, where the qualities of industrial materials and products, and the effectiveness of industrial apparatus and machines, may be investigated.\n\n3. A Library, where the special literature of industrial art may be consulted.\n\n4. Systematic Lectures on the contents of the galleries, the investigations of the laboratory and workshop, and the records of the library, as illustrating the nature of Technology or industrial science.\n\nThis fourfold idea has been in process of imperfect realisation for the last two years, and the third is now entered on. But, instead of referring to the past, let me suppose the Industrial Museum of the future already existent and realising to the full the idea just referred to.\n\nWhen that museum shall be erected, I will ask its architect to sculpture on its front an emblematical device, namely, A circle, to imply that the museum represents the industry of the whole world; within the circle an equilateral triangle, the respective sides of which shall denote the mineral, vegetable, and animal kingdoms, from which industrial art gathers its materials; within the triangle an open hand, as the symbol of the transforming forces which change those materials; and in the palm of that hand an eye, selecting the materials which shall be transformed.\n\nAND COMMERCIAL ENTERPRISE.\n\n23\n\nGazing through that eye, let us see what the Industrial Museum can do for commercial enterprise.\n\nI. The commerce of the world deals, in the first place, very largely with mineral, vegetable, and animal substances, as related to industrial art, in three ways. 1. Many of them we style raw materials. The term is a very expressive one, as implying that they need to be cooked, and that they admit of being cooked. Originally applied to food, the meaning is not felt to be forced as used in relation to coal, to metallic ores, to sugar, to skins, or to other bodies, which can be changed, especially by chemical processes, from useless into useful substances. 2. Whilst, however, we are all willing to regard coal as a raw material from which gas and naphtha are prepared, and skins as a raw material from which glue is elaborated, we should scarcely call marble the raw material of a statue, or linen the raw material of paper. The term genetic, which I have used elsewhere, I feel to be too pedantic for general use, and the equivalent word parent is too vague.

The whole machinery of sugar-making is as novel as it is economical. Bread can be baked on an hour's notice by iron hands as cleanly as expeditious. Steam-engines, which almost seem intelligent, card, dye, and weave, whatever textile raw material you give them, and by and by cut it and sew it if required.\n\nHad we only, accordingly, the old Industrial Arts, thus for ever renewing themselves, the necessity for keeping pace with them would be argument enough for an Industrial Museum, where their progress could be watched and studied by all. But besides those elder sons and servants of mercantile enterprise—who, like the eagle, seem to grow younger as they grow older—think of the infant arts which have been born in our own day, and are younger than most of us. Each of them, a Hercules in his cradle, has already strangled serpents, and has more than twelve labours before him. Railway-making, electro-metallurgy, electro-telegraphy and photography, may here represent those Titanic babes, who, already with mature faces, are bidding all men look to the new time-ball which they have dropped before them, and see that their chronometers are set by that.\n\n# AND COMMERCIAL ENTERPRISE\n\nIV. I have hitherto referred almost solely to the Exhibitional galleries of the Museum. To render, however, their contents useful to the public, they must be carefully classified, intelligibly labelled, and described at some length in suitable catalogues. The Museum therefore must include within its walls, a laboratory and workshop where the nature of unknown substances and the powers of new machines may be investigated, and a library where the literature of industrial science may be available for the guidance of the officers of the institution in classifying the contents of the Museum. Further, an essential appendage of an Industrial Museum is a lecture-room, where detailed prelections may be given on the contents of the Museum, and where in addition, the various industrial arts may be expounded in relation to the laws or principles on which they are based, and may be illustrated not only by the objects in the Exhibitional galleries, but by maps, diagrams, drawings, chemical and mechanical experiments, the exhibition on the small scale of manufacturing processes, and of machines at work; as well as through the medium of the other appliances employed in University and other classrooms by teachers of the physical sciences.\n\nAll the existing Industrial Museums, except that at Kew, are supplemented by laboratory, library, and", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-072 - Indviduals - 1858.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 246781, "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": "CO129-073 - Lieut.

Thus it appears that, it would be possible to supply at a much cheaper rate than that proposed viz: light dollars for public lamps, and ten dollars for private ones as in London, a necessary article in the manufacture of Gas, is also obtainable at a cheap rate or Gas, in the Coal districts of England & Scotland, is supplied, for limited consumption in small Towns I believe at rates ranging from 4/4 to 6 shillings per thousand feet; and in London, and other large Cities where the number of lamps is considerable, it seldom or never exceeds 1 shilling per 1000 feet.\n\nNo doubt a high price must be asked for Gas in this climate, but I fear such a rate would be found altogether out of the question either to the government or private parties; a street lamp, and with the general form of burner now employed, consumes 50 cube feet per night, say 1,500 cube feet per month, equal to $4.12 for each light, independent of the Cost of lamps and posts which would have to be supplied.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-074 - Lieut.

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.

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.

INGLIS,-Recalled.\n\n(28)\n\nThe brothel of which I spoke to the Commission as the one in which I saw Mrs Caldwell, was situate in Taiping-shan. I am not sure whether the whole of the houses had been removed from the Choong Wan at this time, but I am quite clear as to the situation of this house. I went to this brothel purposely to see the intended Mrs Caldwell, and this was the first occasion on which I did see her. I do not know anything about a formal marriage according to Chinese usage between this girl and Mr Caldwell. The first time I knew of Mrs Caldwell living with Mr Caldwell, Mr Caldwell resided at the Gaol. This may have been two or three weeks, or two or three months from the time I saw her at the brothel. I do not recollect now in what other place Mr and Mrs Caldwell resided after they left the Gaol, and before they went to the bungalow called \"Retreat.\" I do not recollect Mrs Caldwell's mother.\n\nallowed him to interpret for me in important cases, when I could avoid it, unless when he was watched by another interpreter; and further, that I would not now believe him on his oath.\n\nCross-examined,—On the 10th June instant, he was charged before me with receiving goods which had been stolen about the 30th May, and was discharged because the prosecutor was a convicted felon, a notoriously bad character, and bore the marks of former floggings. The principal witness also failed to appear. I allowed the prosecutor's fellow-convict to go out with a Policeman, to find the man who the prosecutor said had gone with him to Assow's house--but he could not find him.\n\nD. R. CALDWELL.\n\nCross-examined, I continued to pay the $50 a-month to Lum Ateen, up to the last day of the tenth Chinese month [14th December, 1857.] He himself has since then received the rent. I do not know what has become of the mesne assignments of the lots sold to Lum Ateen. I may have them still, but do not know. They were in Chinese. There was no deed or conveyance by which I surrendered my property in 1857 for the benefit of my creditors; it was done in a private manner, and I refer the commission to Siemssen & Co.'s letter. The title deeds of the property sold to pay my debts were not given up to Siemssen & Co., because they were mortgaged to Chinese creditors. The deeds relating to the lots sold to Woods, except lot 263, were also mortgaged, but were given up to the purchaser upon Siemssen & Co.'s guarantee that the mortgagee would receive his share of the proceeds. I sold all my landed property under Siemssen & Co.'s direction for account of the estate, and the purchase-money was paid over to Siemssen & Co. I could never have mort-gaged any of these lots twice over, because I had not possession of the leases. I cannot remember the numbers of the lots mortgaged, but the names of the mortgages are Wong Cheeyun, Lum Ateen, and Low Ashû.\n\nI know in what way Mrs Caldwell may be speculating beyond what she tells me. Supposing she wished to deceive me, it is possible she might speculate in brothel property. She has invested money of her sister's in houses. I can state on my honour, that she has, to my knowledge, no connection nor interest of any kind, in any brothel property, or any houses to which prostitutes resort.\n\nI never heard or was aware of any rumours of Mrs Caldwell's coming from a brothel, and no one would have dared to tell me so. I was never in the house in which my wife lived up to the time of my marriage. I am quite certain that this house was not a brothel, because at that time I knew most of the brothels here, and that was not one.\n\nI lived in the Gaol. When I speak of my wife living with me, I mean that she lived in a private house which I kept for her; she did not live in the Gaol with me. I recollect Boyle, who was Deputy Inspector of Police, and formerly master of the lorcha Centaur.\n\nI cannot recollect having ever had a contest in the street with Inspector Boyle concerning Mrs Caldwell. I once brought up a Chinaman before the Police Court, for insulting Mrs Caldwell in the street.\n\n(29)\n\nCross-examined, The time of my seeing Mrs Caldwell must certainly have been in 1844. I joined the Police Department in March 1844, and it was shortly after this that I saw her. I do not recollect Mrs Caldwell's being confined. Mrs Caldwell only lived in the Gaol a fortnight or three weeks. She then left because Awoon, (a Chinese woman who had previously lived with Mr Caldwell,) returned. It was not my impression that Mrs Caldwell was married to Mr Caldwell according to Chinese usage, because it is not customary in such cases; there was nothing whatever in her manner to denote that she was married; she was dressed as a Chinese. I recollect accompanying Mr and Mrs Caldwell to a pic-nic, which was about, but certainly after, the time of that visit. Mrs Caldwell, so far as I can recollect, was never in my house for at least a-year-and-a-half after this time. I recollect her having been in my house in the Old Bailey, after my return from Check-chu.\n\nI generally know to within $10 what money Mrs Caldwell has of mine, as I have nothing but my monthly salary, but do not know what she has of her sister's. I still pay $70 a-month regularly to Siemssen & Co. on account of Mr Rienaecker, which leaves me $260 a-month.\n\nWONG APING,-Called and examined.\n\nI am a Rope-maker, and reside opposite the Circular Buildings, Queen's Road West. I know a Chinese female called Shaplok, and have known her a long time. She lives in my house, and has done so since the beginning of the 7th moon of the 6th year of Hien-fung [about July, 1856.] She is married; her husband has gone to Shang-hae. She has no occupation, and is supported by her husband. She has never since she lived in my house kept a brothel, or used the rooms she occupies as such. I do not know whether she has ever kept a brothel. Before she came to my house she lived in Wellington Street, in Lee Kip-tai's house; but I do not know how long she lived there. She removed to my house because Lee Kip-tai's house was pulled down.\n\nCross-examined, - Lee Kip-tai was engaged in the Tientsin trade. The house Shaplok lived in was nearly opposite the Old Central Police Station. Shaplok went to Canton about the middle of April last, not the middle of May. I do not know if she is in any way connected with Mr Caldwell.\n\nSOONG AHING, Tepo of Choong Wan, [the central part of Victoria,]-Called and examined.\n\nI know a female called Shaplok. In 1856 she was living in Lee Kip-tai's house opposite the Old Central Police Station, in Wellington Street. She lived there a few months, I saw her there in the 2nd moon of the sixth year of Hien-fung, [about March 1856,] and about the 7th or 8th month of that year, [about August or September 1856.] She left in consequence of the house being about to be pulled down. She removed out of my district to Sheong Wan, but I do not know to what house. During the time that she resided in that house she did not keep a brothel; several years before the house had been a brothel, but in consequence of a disturbance, the landlord would not permit it to be a brothel any longer.\n\nCross-examined,-I do not know what Shaplok was before the 6th year of Hien-fung. I know that she is a friend of Mrs Caldwell, but not that she is in any way related to her.\n\nYIP AWONG,-Called and examined.\n\nI am collector of rents of the row of houses opposite the Taicheong Hong in Hillier Street; and collect them for Akwai. I know a female called Shaplok. I have collected the rents since 1852. Shaplok occupied one of these houses from 1852 to 1854. She has not occupied it since 1854. She occupied it as a family residence, and I am quite certain not as a brothel. I do not know where she removed to in 1854.\n\nMARY AYOW CALDWELL,-Called and examined.\n\nMy maiden name was Chun Ayow. I am the wife of Mr Caldwell. I came to this colony in 22d year of Taou-kwang-1842. I was then a child, and came with my mother to visit some relations. My mother was called by others Tuk-fook-p'o. I have one elder sister name Chun Atsoo, whose residence is in Macao. She has been here three times on a visit. I have no other sisters, and no brothers. Atsoo is my sister by blood. I know Shaplok, and saw her mother when a child. Shaplok's mother and mine were sworn sisters. This does not, according to Chinese usage, make me and Shaplok sisters. There is no other connection between myself and Shaplok. According to Chinese usage, even good friends call themselves brothers and sisters. When I came with my mother, I lived a few months in a house in Sheong Wan, and I afterwards lived in Choong Wan, where I lived until I was married to Mr Caldwell. My mother and Shaplok lived in that house, and another person called Ayee. Mangtai did not live with them. He is the god-son of my mother; as my mother had no son, a relation gave her his son, whom my mother adopted. The lower part of the house was occupied by a singing master and a tailor, and the upper part by myself and Shaplok as a family residence. From the time I lived in the house, till I left it as Mr Caldwell's wife, it was never a brothel. I was first married after the Chinese fashion to Mr Caldwell, in the end of the 23d year of Taoukwang-1843; all the ceremonies necessary according to Chinese usage to constitute a valid marriage, were adopted on that occasion. The ceremony was performed in a house belonging to Achow, in which I afterwards resided, and took place before I went to live with Mr Caldwell. I considered myself in all respect the wife of Mr Caldwell.\n\nI know Mr Inglis, the Governor of the Gaol, and first saw him in the beginning of the 24th year of Taoukwang—1844, three or four months after my marriage with Mr Caldwell. I remember upon that occasion we went on a pic-nic party to Chekchu. I am quite certain that I never saw Mr Inglis before. Mr Inglis never came to the house in which I resided before my marriage; no foreigner was allowed to enter it.\n\nFOONG AFEI, Tepo of Sheong Wan [Victoria west], -Called and examined.\n\nHillier Street is in my district. Before I was Tepo, I was a Sergeant of Police. I have been Tepo since the 8th month of the 6th year Hien-fung, [September 1856.] I have known Shaplok four years. In 1852 she lived in Peel Street, and I saw her in Lee Kip-tai's house, about the 5th or 6th moon of the 6th year of Hien-fung [about June or July 1856.] During the time I have been Tepo she has not lived in Hillier Street. I do not know of her having kept a brothel. While she was living in Lee Kip-tai's house, I know that he did not keep a brothel.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-074 - Lieut.

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.

When Mr Wade returned the books and papers to me, he did so without any observations; there was no letter from him. He never sent to the office any certificate or report upon them, or anything in the nature of a report. I never heard him say that he was investigating, or had investigated them. There is not now a single book or paper sent me to be examined, in existence. I cannot recollect seeing, when I was examined at the Council, any manuscript papers in His Excellency's hands, nor do I remember His Excellency referring to any such. I told His Excellency the way in which I examined the books, but I do not recollect using the word cursory. I am quite certain that Mr May was not in the room when I was examined, and I did not go to the Council room again.\n\nthat, on the offer being made, Mrs Caldwell said she did not want it, and that she would tell Mr Caldwell when he came back. I saw Mr Caldwell after, and told him that the Commissariat people did not know me, and that Mr Caldwell and I had been long here, and that Mr Caldwell knew whether I was good or bad, and that if he thought I was good to write so and recommend me.\n\nMr Caldwell said he would recommend me according to what was true. I said nothing to him about the $1000; this was two or three days before my mother saw Mrs Caldwell. I also went the second day after my mother had been to Mrs Caldwell, and asked if that business had been settled. Mr Caldwell said he did not know,—it was Commissariat business. There was not on that occasion anything said to Mr Caldwell about the $1,000. On the first occasion when I went to Mr Caldwell, I said I would give him some present according to politeness. Mr Caldwell replied \"O! I don't want it.\" Mr Caldwell had been ordered by the Commissariat to enquire after the men's characters, and I know he did write to them. I did not obtain the contract. I never paid the $1,000, or any part of it, nor made any present. I did go to Mrs Caldwell on the morning of the day on which it was to be decided who should be the contractor, and I alluded to the promise of my mother as to the $1,000, for which Mrs Caldwell said there was no necessity. I also mentioned that the tenders had been decided on, and that I had not obtained the contract. Mr Caldwell did on the first occasion tell me he had already made a report to the Commissariat about me and my securities, and could not write any more.\n\nCHARLES MAY,-Recalled.\n\nAfter reading my evidence given at last meeting, on the subject of what took place at the Executive Council, and hearing Mr Mongan's evidence now given to the Commission, I adhere to the statement I then made. As a minor incident, I may mention that Mr Mongan did not sit down, but stood at the Governor's elbow, and answered the questions he put. Mr Dixson did not say one word while Mr Mongan was in the room.\n\nPANG WA-PANG,-Recalled.\n\nI adhere to my statement before made, that no promise was ever made to Mr Caldwell that this money would be paid, and I never told Inspector Roberts that such promise had been made. I now say, that before the steamer went out, I said to Mr Caldwell that I would make him some polite present, to which Mr Caldwell replied, \"that is not right, that is not right.\" This was the answer I gave to Roberts. Although I did not think Mr Caldwell would receive it, I was so very grateful, and the Chinese custom is so strong on that point, that I went again to offer Mr Caldwell the $100; half of this was on account of Achong. I am acting partner with Achong in the lorcha business and I told him before I was going to do it. Achong told a man in his employ to give it to me, which he did. No one accompanied me when I went there. I carried the money in my own handkerchief. I am quite certain I did not take the money back with me, and that it has never been returned to me since.\n\nCross-examined,——I remember that I went to Mr Caldwell, and that my mother went to Mrs Caldwell, with a request that Mr Caldwell would write to the Commissary General, and obtain for me the contract for supplying the troops with provisions. I sent my mother to Mrs Caldwell to offer her $1,000 if I obtained the contract. I did not order her to go, nor did I know before that she was going, but when she came back she told me she had done so. In my evidence, at page 56, I did not say I sent my mother. I replied to my mother, \"If you said so, let it be so.\" My mother told me that she had been to Mrs Caldwell.\n\nRe-examined,-The first visit of my mother to Mrs Caldwell on the occasion referred to, was on the 4th month of this year (May). My mother went to ask Mrs Caldwell because it was an affair between women, and that was in accordance with Chinese custom. I did not think she had any power to get the contract. She went to her instead of my going to Mr Caldwell, because it was more convenient as I might not find him in, and she was to tell Mr Caldwell what my mother had said. It is not the custom for Chinese women to go to Mrs Caldwell, when they want anything from the Government. It is sometimes the case, but not a fixed custom, that Chinese women offer money, or a present, or valuables to Mrs Caldwell on such occasions. Mrs Caldwell does not accept these offers, nor does she, properly speaking, assist them in getting what they want, but they only go to speak with her about it. She is not in the habit of using her influence with Mr Caldwell for this purpose, but I mean that people go to her that she may tell Mr Caldwell what they say. I have not had any conversation with Mr or Mrs Caldwell on this subject since my last examination. I have not seen Mrs Caldwell since, and only saw Mr Caldwell as he was going home that evening. They have neither of them sent to me nor desired me to come to them. I did not offer the $1,000 because Mrs Caldwell had accepted the $100 on the previous occasion. Had my tender been accepted, I should have made some present, but not have given the $1,000, as that had been refused. I never made or offered any present to Mr or Mrs Caldwell, except on these two occasions.\n\n( 43 )\n\nKWOK ACHONG, P. & O. Co.'s Comprador.-Called and examined.\n\nI know the last witness,--he never was my partner at any time. I had a half share in a lorcha three or four years ago; the other half was owned by several others. Last witness is not agent for me nor the other owners; he had a lorcha of his own.\n\nI remember both these lorchas-mine and his-being captured by pirates. My partner and last witness got the assistance of a man-of-war which brought the lorchas back; I did not go to Mr Caldwell. The last witness never came to me about paying expenses incident on the recapture. He never spoke to me about a present to Mr Caldwell.\n\nI had a conversation with Mr Dixson on the subject of the strange and mysterious interest which had been exhibited in favour of Ma-chow Wong, and expressing my inability to account for it. Mr Dixson said, \"Why, other government officers have had trade with Ma-chow Wong as well as Mr Caldwell.\" I said, \"I dare say that is true, I suppose you allude to somebody much bigger,\" in a significant manner; I said nothing in return. I have no knowledge of my own of any other Government officer than Mr Caldwell having trade with Ma-chow Wong. I know that about two or three months back, a Chinaman, who, from all I had known bore an honest character,--he was called on board the men-of-war \"honest Jack,\" or some such name.\n\nCHARLES MAY-Recalled.\n\nI know that a Comprador for Her Majesty's Ships, was apprehended by Mr Caldwell. I know that on the occasion of his apprehension, the Acting Colonial Secretary and Mr Caldwell, without any Warrant from the Magistrate, and having taken the Police without any authority, went over with them to the mainland, and searched a house there with reference to the same case. I do not know the immediate cause of the apprehension, but a watch was found which was claimed by Mr Lapraik, who had lost it some years previously. The case was disposed of, and the man discharged. Another charge against him was brought forward supported by the evidence of convicts. I think it can be ascertained by the Commission, that an examination was held in the Gaol by the Acting Colonial Secretary and Mr Caldwell, with reference to the charge against this man. I believe that Police Inspector Roberts was examined by the Acting Colonial Secretary within the Gaol, and gave important testimony as to the falsity of the charge. I am not certain whether his evidence was upon a second charge or upon a third charge, got up by convicts. To the best of my recollection, the same convicts who gave evidence against this man gave evidence in the false charge against Tong Akú as well.\n\nThe Chief Magistrate, who investigated both cases, can give certain evidence on this head. In reference to the reason why this man was accused, it was told me—and I believe you will get direct evidence of it from Assow, the Police Court Interpreter, and I think Roberts and Lyons—that the man had incurred the enmity of Ma-chow Wong.\n\nAbout February or March, 1857, an English merchant (name handed into Chairman) put into my hands a Chinese letter, which he requested I would take the best means of getting interpreted, without letting the contents be known, because it was one of a series of letters of which he trusted ultimately to become the possessor, involving a charge of a grave nature in reference to Ma-chow Wong and Mr Caldwell through his family. I got the letter translated, and it appeared from that translation to relate to a seizure of tea by one of Her Majesty's Ships, and contained reference to a demand for services rendered by Ma-chow Wong and Mrs Caldwell in causing the restoration of the tea to some claimant.\n\nThe Merchant who gave me the letter mentioned the name of the person who had given him the letter, and that is the name handed in. I desire to bring to the knowledge of the commission a matter, so that it may not be said I have abstained from giving them any information within my knowledge.\n\nI had a conversation with the Attorney General, as stated by him about the communication from Mrs Caldwell to certain parties that they were to state that they have not given presents.

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.

I hand in some testimonials for my past services as the evidence of absent superiors, and submit myself to the impartial justice of this Honourable Commission, upon the charges referred to them,\n\n[Mr Caldwell handed in and read several letters received at various periods between the 11th December, 1846, and the 28th March, 1857, from the Naval, Colonial, and Home authorities, expressing their high appreciation of his services, especially in the suppression of piracy.]\n\nExamined with reference to the arrest of Assow, the Interpreter. With regard to the statement by Assow as to his arrest, I stated to-day, that I was not aware of his arrest until heard of it here. I had heard on the morning of the fact of two men being apprehended for the robbery and possession...\n\nI\n\nCross-examined, on his defence.-As to Mr May getting up evidence by means of Lyons and Roberts, I refer to Mr May's own evidence, and also to that of Lyons and Roberts. Lyons, who was formerly Sergeant of Police and Inspector of Nuisances, has been promoted to be Deputy Inspector or Assistant or Deputy Inspector of Police; and Roberts, from Deputy Inspector of Police to motions must have been approved of, but perhaps His Excellency is ignorant of what has transpired in this Commission. I should think that these promotions would certainly be made upon Mr May's recommendation, he being their immediate superior. I do not know how the Acting Colonial Secretary acted in the matter. I cannot say whether Lyons, who was a Sergeant of Police, and Acting as Inspector of Nuisances, could have been removed from the latter office without the sanction of the Surveyor General. My impression is that he was only lent to the Surveyor General's Department, and could have been recalled by Mr May for other purposes.\n\n[The Chairman, as Surveyor General, here states, that the Inspector of Nuisances is attached to that department, and is entirely under the orders of the Surveyor General, and not directly under those of the Superintendent of Police and is also on the pay-list of the Surveyor General's Department.]\n\nThe ... of sale endorsed upon application to him.\n\nzaar,\n\nwhile in Mr Lapraik's shop, I overheard a gentleman explaining to him that, besides the barometer which he had lost a few days before, he had that morning missed a clock. When he got that far, one of my servants came in and said that I was wanted immediately. On going home, Mrs Caldwell gave me a Chinese letter written \"important\" outside. I opened it, and found it was an anonymous letter to the effect that a man had been taken in custody for having stolen a barometer, and who had also on a previous occasion stolen a musical box; that both these articles had been sold to Assow the interpreter, (the document calling him by his common name of Pock Sow) the former for $4, and the latter for $16; and that if I made haste and searched the room of a prostitute kept by Assow, named Pat-mui, whose room in a registered brothel faced the top of the staircase, I should find the musical box there. Knowing the speed with which all information from the Central Police Station and the Police Court flies through the city, I without going to the Central Police Station for a Constable, started off immediately to search this room. Finding neither the musical box nor the girl Pat-mui, I asked the mistress of the brothel where she was. She pointed to the house opposite and said she was there. I asked for Pat-mui, and told her I wanted to search her room, which I did, but I did not find the musical box; although when I mentioned about the musical box which Assow had brought there --one of the women said, \"He took it home two days ago.\" I did not consider it prudent to search the house where his wife lives, and I immediately went to the Central Station and informed Mr Jarman of all I knew of the matter, and advised him to be careful and listen to what the prisoner said when he was questioning him. I do not know from whom the anonymous letter came, it yet, and can produce it.\n\nI have ...\n\nKee-loong-poo-on lorcha in the latter end of October 1856, as mentioned in my statement of to-day. At this time the lorcha was down in the Gulf of Tonquin, chartered. She did not return to Hongkong until some time in April, 1857, as can be ascertained from the Harbour Master's list of arrivals.\n\nI am aware that the two political prisoners in the treason case, who were interested in the apprehension of the murderers at Stanley, were evidently trying to bring forward Ma-chow Wong in the matter; so much so that they suggested to me that Ma-chow Wong would go with me to Stanley, and point out the persons connected with the murder.\n\nMr Inglis was present at every one of the interviews I had with these people, and I put the question to him when he was here being examined the other day, whether I did not object to take Ma-chow Wong with me; and I did so for the very reason that I saw plainly they were trying to assist him as well as themselves—and further, that Ma-chow Wong had never lived in Stanley before, and could not have pointed out the people.\n\n( 95 )\n\nMachow Wong had never lived in Stanley before, and could not have pointed out the people. I did make particular reference to the Rebel chiefs, but I did not to the two men referred to by the Attorney General and Mr Cooper Turner as having been deported, because by the Attorney General's own evidence, it will appear that the men were only remanded upon my bringing a specific charge against them, and not committed under the Deportation Ordinance. I wish further to state, that having no hand in the matter of the deportation at all, I was entirely ignorant of who were or were not to be deported. Although I was in the habit of consulting Ma-chow Wong in piracy cases, I did not consult him in the case of the 72 pirates handed over at Kowloong. There was no necessity for so doing, as the informants came to me direct.\n\nI cannot say positively whether I presented the petition in the gold dust case, but it is very likely it came through me, because the Colonial Secretary refuses all Chinese petitions unless they come through me.\n\nI do not think that I have stated that Mr May knew of Lyons's visit to the Gaol.\n\nI am glad now to have the opportunity of giving public city to services rendered by me, and of which not the slightest notice was ever taken. Sometime in 1855, I think in the month of August, I was on my way in the Eaglet from Macao to Hongkong. I think the day previously I had parted from a convoy of 92 Chinese vessels, Jorchas, junks, and others, from Hainan-and on nearing the South Western point of Lantao, I saw 15 piratical vessels, which had just captured three of my convoy, and had them in custody at the time. I recognized three one of them a lorcha; they held the English flag over the stern. I altered my course towards them, thinking that the pirates might be intimidated and let them go. On the contrary, three of the largest junks immediately altered their course, and bore down on the steamer, making every preparation for an attack. I immediately altered my course for Hongkong, and reported the circumstance to the Senior Naval Officer, Captain Fellowes, of H. M. S. Rattler. I consented to go with Captain Fellowes, the next day myself--and went with him in the Rattler, and after the 4th day, chased the pirates into Kulan,--the convoy junks being still with them. I informed Captain Fellowes that they would consider themselves quite safe from the shallowness of the water as we could not get near them, and I told him, if he liked, I would place the Eaglet at his disposal. We immediately returned to Hongkong, I took in coal and provisions, took three of the American steamer Powhattan's boats astern, having all their crews numbering about 100 men on board the Eaglet, made fast astern of the Rattler and proceeded down to Kulan. At daylight the next morning, I took the three boats belonging to the Powhattan and the four belonging to the Rattler in tow of the Eaglet, the Rattler being anchored in deep water, and took the Eaglet into Kulan Bay myself. We found the bay deserted, but knowing the land in that locality perfectly well, I discovered, under a point of land about six miles off, the mastheads of a number of Chinese vessels, and immediately steered for them. As we approached, two guns were fired at us from the junks, which was answered by a rocket put on board the Eaglet from the Ordnance Department, on which the boats left the Eaglet and pulled in. Another rocket and a shot fired from the Eaglet as the boats were pulling in caused them to get up their anchors and sails, and go farther up the lagoon into shallow water. I remained with the Eaglet to protect the entrance, the Rattler being then some seven miles off, and after a desperate resistance, in which six men were killed and about a dozen wounded on our side, 18 junks were captured and destroyed, and seven trading vessels, including the three which I had originally seen in the hands of the pirates, were liberated. Some 16 officers in all were on board the Eaglet from daylight that morning, until about eight the same night, and about 150 sailors and marines. I was obliged to supply the whole of the wounded men with the mattresses belonging to the saloon of the steamer, all of which were entirely destroyed, being saturated with oil poured over the wounded men to keep their wounds cool; and as the officers came without any provision for the day, I had to supply them with two meals and refreshments, and from that time up to the present moment I have never received even a word of thanks for all that service from any body.\n\nI think this was the only occasion on which I gave such information to the Government, and I cannot recollect any piracy cases in which I have appeared at the Police Court. I certainly never appeared in any to give evidence either for or against the prisoners.\n\nIn the case of the Pawnbrokers, and the $400 said to have been paid to Shaplok: Wohang came to my office one day, and said that Mr Lane was in his house on one occasion, when he was asked to subscribe his share to the payment of $400 to Shaplok, and that Mr Lane advised him not to do anything of the sort; that he was afterwards sent for by Mr Anstey, who told him what Mr Lane had said to him, and asked him if it was true. I immediately said \"What has that got to do with me?\" And he then said, \"Oh, but she said the money would be paid to you.\" I laughed at it. and said, \"This is the first I have heard of it then;\" and I said \"Mind, I shall expect you to prove what you now say;\" he immediately turned round and said that it was not his affair, he could not prove it: that he did not pay the money, that it was paid by one of the partners of the shop who had gone to Canton, and that he was merely asked to contribute his share, being a partner I told him I should certainly question Shaplok as soon I could find her, and that I supposed his partner could always be forthcoming if wanted, I think he then remarked, that he considered it his duty to come and tell me this, and I said that I would not forget it. I have taken every means to find Shaplok, and I know the Police are doing the same, for they have searched her house within the last three days. I inquired about Shaplok the...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-074 - Lieut.

I recollect that their general nature has been correctly described. My recollection of Mr May's memoranda is sufficiently clear to enable me to state that I believe his description of them to be generally correct.

ST. GEO. CLEVERLY—being sworn states. I was present at the Legislative Council on the 10th and 14th May last. I remember the Attorney General referring to certain papers in the Ma-chow Wong case as tending to support his statement against Mr Caldwell. His reference was made on one or both of those days. I remember similar references being made by the Attorney General and Mr May before the Caldwell Commission on various days previous to the 17th June last, and think I remember on an early occasion Mr May prefaced his evidence with a request that the Commission would call for those books and papers and memoranda. After consulting with the Commission, I prepared a memorandum to that effect and sent it into the Colonial Secretary's room. Mr D'Almada came to me and said that they were not in their possession and that they were handed over to the Superintendency. He came back a second time and showed me the minutes of the Executive Council to that effect.\n\nI remember, at the close of the day, the Attorney General coming up to my chair and speaking in a low tone to me, that Mr D'Almada had just told him that those documents must be in Mr Wade's hands, but that he, the Attorney General, knew from Mr Wade himself, before he left for the North, that he had done with them, and that the Attorney General thought that if it was pretended they were missing, it would be ground for the Commission to call Mr May to give secondary evidence of their contents.\n\nI remember previous to the sitting on the 17th June, that I had a conversation with the Attorney General, and immediately afterwards, on the same day, I wrote a second memorandum to the Secretary. I am a clerk in the Colonial Secretary's office. I remember on several occasions before the Caldwell Commission, inquiring about the Chinese documents. The answer on one occasion (on the same day when Mr May was examined) was that they were burned by orders of the Acting Colonial Secretary.\n\nJOZÉ D'ALMADA—examined on oath states. Mr May and yourself (Mr Anstey) were examined on the same day. I did hear both these witnesses refer (frequently) to the Ma-chow Wong papers and asked that they might be called for by the Commission. I remember also going into the Council room where the Caldwell Commission was sitting and being asked by the Chairman respecting certain papers in the Ma-chow Wong case. I replied to the chairman that the documents were not with me—were not to be found.\n\nAs I passed out, I remember telling the Attorney General that those papers were not to be found. I do not know whether I did tell Dr Bridges what the Attorney General said about the papers. I did go a second time to the Council room soon after. I then informed the chairman that the papers not to be found must have been delivered to Mr Wade, as appeared by the Council books.\n\nI have searched the Records by direction of the chief clerk, Dr Bridges not having been there at the time. The Chief clerk is also Clerk of the Councils. I was led to believe that the papers had been sent to Mr Wade from an entry in the Council minutes. I did not tell the Chairman that any of the papers had been burnt for I never knew (at that time). I did not know it until after it became notorious.\n\nI think there is a letter on record in our office from the Chief Magistrate's Office advising that the Ma-chow Wong papers had been sent to the Chinese Secretary's Office. This was either in September or October last year.\n\nDeponent being asked whether he ever saw the Ma-chow Wong papers, answers that he never saw them.\n\n(Signed) CHAS. ST. GEO. CLEVERLY.\n\nCHARLES COLLINS—being sworn states. The Chinese documents were brought into my office by Mr Jarman on the 30th September last, between 11 and 12 o'clock A.M.\n\nI know it was on that day because I wrote and despatched the letter with the books and papers to the Secretary of the Superintendent of trade. The date of the transaction was entered in the office despatch book. I assisted Mr Jarman to seal the baskets. There were two baskets, I think, which contained the documents. The documents were not loose but in packages and sealed with the Police seal. I then despatched them by the office coolie, Ayee, and an outside coolie, whose name I do not know. This was about 1 P.M. of the same day. They could not have been in my office more than from one to two hours altogether. I swear positively that they were not in the office for one night.\n\nBeing asked whether he ever saw Mr May's memo., he answers that he is not at liberty to disclose what took place in Executive Council. I now recollect seeing 2 baskets (casually) in the Chinese Secretary's Office which one of the Student Interpreters told me were the Ma-chow Wong's documents.\n\n(Signed) C. COLLINS.\n\nYING-LUNG-TIEN—Chinese Teacher.\n\nHe made some excuse for their non-production which I do not recollect. I remember, at the close of the day, the Attorney General came up to the chair, stood at Mr Cleverly's right hand, and referred to Mr José D'Almada's statement and said something to the effect that we (the Commission) might take secondary evidence of the contents of the memo. by calling Mr May.\n\nI was present when the Attorney General in his evidence stated to the effect quoted by him from the printed minutes page 32. I recollect that on that day, and I believe as soon as the Attorney General's examination had closed, a letter which the chairman had shown me that morning was read by him from the chair. I believe it was from Mr Mongan. It stated that the papers had been burnt.\n\nUp to that date, 17th June, neither in the debates in Legislative Council, nor in any communication ever made to me by any officer of the Government, nor in the proceedings of the commission or otherwise, had I the slightest idea that the Government were aware or wished to have it believed that the documents had been burnt. I was perfectly astonished when Mr Cleverly showed me Mr Mongan's note.\n\nThe witness reads the following paragraph from page 88 of his evidence of the printed minutes.—\n\n\"I recollect although I had quite forgotten it until after Mr Mongan went to Canton or after he returned, that shortly before this commission commenced sitting, it was intimated to him that the Ma-chow Wong documents which were transmitted to the Superintendency had been burned, and that the officers of the Superintendency knew nothing whatever of the memoranda.\"\n\n(Signed) YING-LUNG-TIEN.\n\nRemanded to Tuesday, 12th Oct., 1858.\n\nW. H. MITCHELL\n\nELEVENTH HEARING.\n\nTuesday, 12th October, 1858.\n\nDefendant's Witness,\n\nAND. SCOTT DIXSON—examined on oath states.\n\nBy Mr Anstey.—I was examined before the Caldwell Commission on Friday, 28th May last. I have since read the printed minute of my evidence. I now confirm the same upon oath as far as it refers to Ma-chow Wong and the documents and the enquiry before the Council.\n\nBefore that enquiry, I was Editor as well as Proprietor of the Friend of China. I was sitting on the bench at mid-day when Mr Collins had reported to me that the papers had arrived, by which I understood just arrived. I went into the clerk's office and there saw Mr Jarman, one of the officers who had sent the papers up or brought them up.\n\nI was not quite satisfied with the packing of the baskets and had the magistracy seal put on the things in my own presence. I see no reason why they should have been detained here. I am almost certain they were sealed within a quarter of an hour after they were brought here. From what I know of Mr Collins's great caution, I should judge that they were forwarded forthwith.\n\nThink I sent for the papers to the Central Police Station, immediately on receiving the Colonial Secretary's letter requiring them.\n\n\"Mr May lent me his memo. for 2 or 3 days. As I found 'they had nothing immediately to do with the cases under 'investigation, which were already cumbered enough, I told 'Mr May that I thought he had better say nothing about 'them until some occasion should arise on which they 'would be clearly useful.\n\n\"I recollect also when the efforts for obtaining a pardon for Ma-chow Wong were going on, that Mr May again asked me if he should mention them to the Government. As by that time I had learnt that Mr May was supposed to be actuated by jealous and hostile feelings towards Mr Caldwell, and as also the Government were in possession of the originals from which the memoranda was taken, I told Mr May that I should certainly not volunteer their production to the Government.\"", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-074 - Lieut.

Moreover, a Dr. Bridges\n\na Barrister of Hong Kong, and practising also as Attorney there, and who (before my arrival) had filled the office of Acting Attorney General for the Colony, had been in February 1857 appointed by Sir John Bowring to act as Colonial Secretary and Executive Councillor, during the absence in Europe of Mr. Mercer upon a sick leave of 18 months, with liberty to continue to practice for his clients notwithstanding such acting appointment.

It has been alleged that Governor Bowring has been heard to declare that it was ordered by himself.\n\n22. It has been further admitted by the then Acting Colonial Secretary, on oath, that Dr. Bridges had access to these documents.\n\n20. Mr. Tarrant was also believed to have been involved in the matter, at least, by his examination in the Supreme Court.\n\n\"For the interposition of the parties mentioned in the Chinese Secretary's letter of 12th October, it is probable that the Documents in question 'were in his official custody, and were used as evidence on cross-examination of Lines Morgan Esq., a witness for the Crown in the Queen vs. Farrant case.\"\n\n23. On the 23rd November, five weeks after the pirate's conviction, tears were shed by the Coroner. It is stated that in 1858, in the most important of those papers, evidence must have been given in the Hong Kong Supreme Court.\n\nIt is rumoured that a pardon would have been granted, and the point again lost by Sir John Bowring's Government.\n\n23. A probability of such an event having reached the Queen's printer, Mr. Dixon, led to a contemptible and damnable trick being played by the perpetrators to get off Mah Wong before he came into Mr. Dixon's hands. They had come into his hands in the Government Gazette, and see Dawson's letter published in the China Mail of 27th June 1858, p. 41. (1st Col.)\n\n21. In the meantime, Mr. Caldwell and Dr. Bridges supported the application of Mops Day, Counsel for the Crown, for a pardon. See letters of the 13th May 1858 to the Executive Councillor, and of the same date to the Attorney General.\n\nThe newspaper, the organ of the community, on 17th September, enumerated the crimes of the man and alluded to his pecuniary dealings with Mr. Caldwell, the Queen's printer. The Queen's printer made free use of a sort of Index to the contents of the pirate's books and papers, originally prepared by W. May himself, at the period of their first examination for use at the trials.\n\nThis Index was headed \"Memoranda\" and was sent by the Acting Colonial Secretary to his Excellency in Executive Council on 17th May 1858, with a request for a pardon. I again remind your Grace that Secretary of State Ford had already caused to be entered a nolle prosequi in respect of the united charge against the same prisoner, for the second offence, alleged to be much stronger than the first, and one unconnected with it.\n\nThe Chief Justice declared from the Bench that he did not, on 13th July 1858 (pp. 449, 1st Col.), and could not have ordered the nolle prosequi (pp. 61, 1st Col.; 62, 2nd Col.; 63, 2nd Col.; 88, 1st Col.).\n\n24. Mr. Dixon was thereupon summoned by the Clerk of the Councils, in the name of the Governor, to attend the Executive Council and support his statement. Mr. Dixon's line of examination, he himself says, was adopted by the Council on 28th July 1858.\n\nPage 79", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-076 - Individuals - 1859.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 248481, "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": "CO129-076 - Individuals - 1859", "page_number": 84, "title": "CO129-076 - Individuals - 1859", "content_text": "Mr.\n\nnothing in Mt.

I immediately took him to the position which I intended the French force to occupy, and also along the whole front, that he might be thoroughly acquainted with the general arrangements. At midnight I despatched my aide-de-camp, Major Greathed, to conduct the French column by a separate route, which he had previously reconnoitred, so that their line of advance was perfectly clear and unobstructed.\n\nThe disposition of the force was arranged as follows:-\n\nFour 24-pounder howitzers (two of Govan's and two of Desborough's), were placed in Battery No. 4 on the left, to play on the defences of the Fort under attack.\n\nTwo 32-pounders and two 8-inch howitzers in Battery No. 3 to open on the same defences and eventually to breach near the gateway.\n\nMilward's Armstrong Battery in Battery No. 5 to silence the enemy's guns by direct fire, and to keep down the fire of the furthermost Northern Fort, which supported the Fort under attack.\n\nA Battery (No. 2) of three 8-inch mortars was advanced between the canals, to shell the Fort from a distance of 500 yards.\n\nOn my right front a Battery was prepared for six guns to silence the fire from the right bank of the river and the Southern Fort; this battery was armed with one 8-inch gun, two of Barry's Armstrong guns, and two French 24-pounder rifled guns. The remaining four French guns were placed on the right, partly sheltered by the Tartar village, but free to turn their fire upon the numerous scattered batteries which lined the right bank of the river. Two of Barry's guns and two of Govan's guns were placed in position at Col. Sargent's picket on the south-east angle of Tang-ku, to cover the French right.\n\nAt 4 A.M. my column of Infantry moved into position, the right wing of the 67th and 44th Regiments, under cover of the canals, in advance, near the Mortar Battery. The remaining wing of the 44th and 67th Regiments, and one half of the Royal Marines, formed the support, which was posted under cover of the canals, near Milward's Battery. The other half of the Royal Marines carrying pontoons. The Royal Engineers and Sappers with material were placed under cover in front of the supports, ready to move forward and keep pace with the progress of the attack.\n\nThe enemy opened before these movements were completed, and as their fire was heavy I replied with Milward's guns, although the whole of my Batteries were not quite ready to open, and the French column, though punctual to the appointed time of 6 A.M., had not yet appeared. By 6 the whole of the British Batteries were in play; General Collinot arrived, and took up the position on the right which had been placed at his disposal, and the French Artillery likewise came into action against the Southern Forts and Batteries.\n\nOwing to the great extent of the enemy's position, they were able to open some guns against the right flank of the French column; but their fire was at once diverted, and eventually silenced, by the two guns of Barry's Battery, which were in position at Colonel Sargent's picket at the east gate of Tang-ku.\n\nThe enemy replied to the fire of our Artillery from all their guns that could be brought to bear; but the fire of the Fort attacked had already sensibly diminished, when a shell from the Mortar Battery, or Milward's guns, alighting in the magazine, caused a grand explosion, soon followed by a similar one in the remotest Northern Fort, with which the gunboats had been for some time engaged.\n\nThe guns of the Fort immediately attacked being nearly silenced, I directed, with the consent of his Excellency, an advance of all the Field Artillery to new positions within 450 yards, and the fire of our batteries was concentrated on the left of the gateway, with a view to breaching.\n\nThe skirmishers of the Allied Forces pushed vigorously forward, and obtained a position on the edge of the outermost of the two wet ditches which surround the Fort.\n\nThe French on the right succeeded in crossing the ditches by ladder bridges, and effected a lodgment on the berm of the unflanked angle of the work abutting on the river. The English pontoon bridge, carried by a party of Royal Marines, advancing on the line of the causeway opposite the centre of the Fort, was met by so heavy a fire that half the carriers were immediately disabled, and the construction of the bridge rendered impracticable.\n\nLieut.-Colonel Travers, R.M.L.I., Major Graham, R.E., were also wounded in attempting to carry out this duty. I thereupon directed the ladders to be brought forward and passed across the ditches towards the right. This was carried out by Lieut. Pritchard, R.E., and parties of our Infantry effecting the passage of the ditches, some by means of the ladders, others by swimming, made their way to the gate.\n\n11\n\nThe enemy made a noble and vigorous resistance, no entry had yet been made, the breach had not been completed, the gate was known to be built up, the attempts of the French to escalade at their angle were unsuccessful. At this juncture, with the permission of the Commander-in-Chief, I brought up two 24-pounder howitzers and two 9-pounder guns of Govan's to within 80 yards of the rampart, which firing over the heads of the men on the berm, cut away the parapet at the point where the defence was most obstinate.\n\nAfter a lengthened struggle the French entered the embrasure at their angle by escalade, and the British climbed into the partial breach near the gate at the same moment, Lieutenant Rogers, of the 44th Regiment, being the first man on our side established in the place. The troops of both nations now poured into the place, but foot by foot the brave garrison disputed the ground, and as there was no means of exit other than by dropping over the wall and crossing the defensive obstacles of ditches, stakes, and abbatis, the loss of the enemy when they were ultimately driven out of the work was very severe, both from the rifles of our Infantry, who crowded the cavalier, and from guns moved round to the left, which swept their line of retreat on the further Northern Fort.\n\nIt was half-past eight o'clock when this Fort, now proved to be the key of the whole position, was in our hands.\n\nThe guns of the cavalier were turned against the opposite Southern Fort, on which fire was still maintained from the heavy batteries on our right attack.\n\nWith the view of following up the advantages gained as soon as possible, fresh regiments, viz., the 3d Buffs and 8th Punjab Infantry, under the command of Brigadier Jephson, were brought to the front by his Excellency's orders, and the Artillery was put in position to enfilade the Fort still untaken on the north side. Suddenly firing on the part of the enemy ceased in all quarters, and white flags were displayed in all the Forts still in their hands.\n\nI need not refer to the further proceedings conducted by the Commander-in-Chief in person, which ended in the surrender of the remaining Northern Fort and the abandonment of those on the south side.\n\nCaptain Biddulph, Military Secretary,\n\n&c.\n\n&c.\n\n&c.\n\nI have, &c.

I have also carefully examined the plan of the ground, and I have talked over the subject with Captains Trollope, Heath, Commerell, and Byshe, R.N. and Lieut. Col. Greswold, R.E., all of whom have recently returned from China.\n\nHaving given the subject the best consideration in my power, I am of opinion that the letter of the Governor of Hong Kong to the Duke of Newcastle, dated 26 March 1861, which takes a statesman-like view of the whole question and discusses in a moderate tone all the circumstances of the case, is unanswerable and should be allowed to decide the point at issue.\n\nI am extremely unwilling to offer any opinion as to Military affairs, but from the nature of the case I am compelled to do so. As the proposal for placing the Military Hospital at the spot marked 'A' in the plan in immediate contiguity with the ground already partly occupied by the Navy, to settle at once the two questions that would arise, I might have some hesitation in insisting on the full extent that should be reserved for naval purposes.\n\nThe appropriation recommended by the Governor, as it appears to me, fully provides for the wants of both services. It also carries out the instructions of H.M. Government, which directed \"that the subject should be considered with the view of affording the greatest possible amount of accommodation to Commerce generally, due regard being had to the Naval and Military interests of the empire.\"\n\nThere can be no doubt but that the above paragraph embodies the true policy of the country.\n\n## Metadata \nPage 29", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-083 - Public Offices - 1861.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 252207, "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": "CO129-083 - Public Offices - 1861", "page_number": 33, "title": "CO129-083 - Public Offices - 1861", "content_text": "## Original Text Proofread\n\nor as some located on the naval dépôt like Gibraltar or Malta that is wanted, but an arrangement to give development to commerce and extension and advancement to the Colony. It cannot be overlooked that there are already 7,000, say, 6,000 occupied by the troops; this number will be doubled. Some strong civil government must be established to keep these people in order, and this will cause considerable expense which can only be covered and the peninsula rendered self-supporting by holding out inducements to merchants to settle there, which they will readily do if some tolerably favourable sites are left for their residences and some sea frontage for their stores and shops, but not without. If the proposals of the Commanding Officer of Engineers are to be acceded to, the Governor states that eligible sites will be left for merchants and none will go to the main objects of H. M. Government in Kowloon, and these will be defeated.\n\nAdmitting, however, fully the necessity for sufficiently and amply providing for the wants of the Military, the Governor offers to them a space of nearly 200 acres, much of it on rising ground, with the best aspect (due South) so as to enable every track and house to be so built as to catch the breezes in the hot monsoon both from S. E. and S.W.; it forms a complete belt 500 yards wide across the peninsula, having two sea frontages available for landing and embarking troops and stores in both monsoons; it is apart from the native town, and has the best stream of water in the peninsula running through it. As far as can judge, this site, coloured red on the plan, appears eligible; it is the most that could be selected.\n\nAssuming, then, that with due regard to commercial and non-military interests, the Military are sufficiently provided for, we are free to consider the requirements for Naval purposes. The site that has been selected for the Navy on the west face of the peninsula at D, is good as far as it goes; but apparently a space of only 3 acres has been secured (on which the coal store is building) having a frontage of 150 yards by a depth inland of only 90 yards; a detached site on the north spur of the high ground at G, has also been claimed for an hospital (but disputed by the Military); the area of which may be 5 acres; and nothing about 300 yards to the northward of the coal store for docks and other purposes is to be reserved, but is said to be uncertain as to its depth inland. There is, likewise, a space of 20 acres north of the proposed military cantonment, offered as an alternative for the high ground at S.\n\nEither there is something not fully explained or this appears a most improvident arrangement as far as the Navy is concerned. From the testimony of all the officers I have consulted, the least space that will be required for naval purposes is 25 acres. They all represent the present flotilla of 10 acres at Hongkong, dignified as a dockyard, as miserably inefficient and cramped. Boats, anchors, chain cables, and all heavy stores might advantageously be removed to Kowloon. Boat sheds, a cooperage, &c. are already much wanted, and as our commerce extends in China and consequently ships of war may be required, more space will be wanted. The loss from want of store room in the late war is said to have been excessive. Ground, too, for exercising the ships' crews with small arms and field pieces is very desirable. If hereafter it should be found that we have not enough space and the ground has to be purchased, it would be at a greatly increased price. On no account should a less space than 25 acres, with a frontage of 400 yards by an average depth inland of 500 yards, coloured blue on the plan, be accepted.\n\nWith respect to the height marked E, which Admiral Sir James Hope, Commander in Chief, long since selected as a site for a Naval hospital, and which has been fully approved by the late Director General, if such a building were necessary, it should be retained at whatever cost. It is included in the above-mentioned site coloured blue on the plan.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-083 - Public Offices - 1861.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 252208, "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": "CO129-083 - Public Offices - 1861", "page_number": 34, "title": "CO129-083 - Public Offices - 1861", "content_text": "## KOWLOON PENINSULA\n\nGretna Green by Lidl Mann for Military purposes.\n\nE\nK\nPurus Ground\n4\nFuture Encampment\n112\nEL\nCurren\nI\nLi> > ±y\nK\nChawal text y\nL.M.NO.

It is detached from the other portion of the ground already occupied by the Naval Store, it is considerably further from the harbour where the ships lie, it would require a separate landing plane, separate establishment of guard house and sentries, and would be attended with much additional expense.\n\nWhether a Naval Hospital is at once required admits of consideration, but if ever it is to be built the worst spur of the hill above mentioned would be its site, and the ground should be secured. The Medical Director General is of opinion that an hospital is required for 250 patients. His opinion is probably founded upon actual Returns, and is of considerable weight. But it is right to mention that all the naval officers whom I have consulted on the ground state that as far as they are aware from 100 to 150 beds is the maximum number likely to be required. If a hospital should prove necessary 5 acres is the least ground that can be allotted for it. Our naval hospitals abroad have nearly all been on a broader scale. For example, at Bermuda 67 1/2 acres, Halifax 17 acres. So that 5 acres is a minimum, and the rest will have to be laid out of the above named 95 acres.\n\nI submit, then, for their Lordships consideration that the requirements of the naval service in China demand that a space of not less than 300 yards of sea frontage by an average breadth of 500 yards should be appropriated for the use of the Navy. That the ground should be immediately adjacent to the site of the Naval Coal Store, already complied with on the plan.\n\nJohn Washington\nHydrographer\n21 June 1861\n\n| | |\n| --- | --- |\n| Neutral Ground | |\n| Very Rugged Ground | |\n| | men yen eten för su Nuz ganda rentage by 300 yards |\n| | Za/ |\n| | Aase 25 acres, above a Blue |\n| Military Cantonment | |\n| E | |\n| The Soundings are in feet. | 33 |\n| | 46 |\n| proposed by the Governor | Chumpar |\n| | Chiclan ifsue. |\n| AG | 53 |\n| #15 | 207 |\n\nThe Surveyor General objects, on behalf of the Mercantile Interests, to so much ground being taken for Military purposes, and suggests that the site be given up and the remaining ground chosen, or limited to a total area of 50 acres.

He pointed out several sites there as suitable, but being all within the present Military demands, I informed him they were beyond my disposal and that if he would select a site outside the area demanded by the Imperial Services,", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-086 - Sir Robinson - 1862 [5-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 253389, "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": "CO129-086 - Sir Robinson - 1862 [5-6]", "page_number": 17, "title": "CO129-086 - Sir Robinson - 1862 [5-6]", "content_text": "## The Under Secretary of State for War\n\n| 1362 \n\n## MINUTE MP4 16 JULY \nJap 116 \n2013 \n\nThe following telegram was received on 23 July.\n\n... forwarding Refer to the Commissioner ... \n| col | col |\n| --- | --- |\n| 82 | 83 | \nEn clair... having difficulties with the former Mayor of Mary... \n2:52... \nthe... of her cattle... \n...th... \n...in tháng 15... \n...Dormußtent... \nI our dearbet... \nŹ... \nили... \n...hacer mit fr... \n...tis dufaliter por... \n...the former of Mary Mary...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-086 - Sir Robinson - 1862 [5-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 253407, "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": "CO129-086 - Sir Robinson - 1862 [5-6]", "page_number": 35, "title": "CO129-086 - Sir Robinson - 1862 [5-6]", "content_text": "# \n\nJust as translation is voluntary. \n\nThey act to allow those who would have had to pay back the amount they contributed to benefit therefrom.\n\nThe decision to coin a considerable amount for seasoning is dubious.\n\nThe case of the fire officers by the Kemay was decided.\n\nRecommendation from \"this reficien (Govt.

Nos únicos documentos que temos d'aquele género, trocados entre as autoridades de Macau e o Governo Chinez, e que tão felizmente no Tratado são dados por não existentes, só se vê, de um lado a humildade de súplicas e petições, e do outro a arrogância de ordens e decretos, terminando algumas vezes pela bem conhecida fórmula chineza de Tremam e obedeçam.\n\nCom este passado era forçoso lutar tanto mais fortemente quanto estavam de todo mudadas as circunstâncias que até certo ponto o desculpam, porque, ainda que antigamente sempre estiveram mal definidos os nossos direitos na China, certo é que eram eles tão exclusivamente nossos que a falta de competência não só os tornava tão lucrativos como se estivessem bem estabelecidos, mas até lhes dava uma grande aparência de dignidade e solidez. Esse exclusivo, porém, que por tão absurdamente o julgarem eterno, impediu que esses direitos fossem claramente reconhecidos naqueles tempos, terminou afinal como era inevitável, e as nações que bem depressa vieram disputar-nos a inexgotável partilha deste comércio, souberam a todo o custo estabelecer em bases sólidas os seus direitos, recorrendo umas à força, como ainda há pouco vimos a Inglaterra e a França, e conservando-se outras nos limites da diplomacia, mas lutando aí com persistência não menor, como a Russia e os Estados Unidos.\n\nMas se, por nos vermos assim colocados quase em último lugar nas relações dos povos do Ocidente com a China, mais urgia conseguir o que no tempo em que ocupáramos o primeiro não soubemos obter, — a cessão clara e definida dos direitos há séculos adquiridos, — é incontestável também que essa mesma diferença de posições devia centuplicar agora a dificuldade d'uma negociação que antes fora julgada impossível porque, obrigando-nos a muito a recordação do passado, constrangiam-nos a pouco as circunstâncias do presente. É fácil de reconhecer que a essa dificuldade, que resultava naturalmente de se haver diminuído o nosso prestígio para com o Governo Chinez, acrescia outro não menos importante; porque — pedindo a singular situação de Portugal na China que não só se definisse como direito o que antes se obtivera de facto, como também que nos fossem concedidas todas as vantagens políticas e comerciais que nações menos antigas do que nós no trato e comércio com a China têm sabido obter, — estas exigências, a que tanto obrigava a dignidade nacional, eram de sobejo para acordar rivalidades, que muito cumpria serenar.\n\nTais seriam em resumo os enormes obstáculos que S. Exa. o Plenipotenciário português teve de vencer; e, considerando-os, mal se crê como em tamanha luta nos coube tão gloriosa vitória.\n\nMas o Tratado aí está, e, com mostrá-lo, abstemo-nos de uma análise que só poderia ser inferior à eloquência dele. Dizer que nenhum houve por estas partes de maior glória, nada mais é do que repetir o que tão claramente se prova em toda a letra dos seus artigos, porque não só nos iguala, quanto ao presente, com as nações que nestes últimos anos, à custa de tantas dificuldades, puderam fazer tratados vantajosos com a China, mas vai até nos tornar superiores ao que fomos quando mais podíamos do que hoje, reconhecendo formalmente o que sempre com altivez nos foi contestado — tudo isto sem outras armas do que a profunda inteligência de um Plenipotenciário de Sua Magestade, e o seu tão provado amor a esta colónia de Macau, que, para tudo lhe dever, até lhe deve hoje a sua completa e legal independência portuguesa.\n\nO que torna ainda mais digno e honroso o Tratado, quanto ao reconhecimento desta independência, é não sacrificar os nossos pretendidos direitos do passado à verdadeira consecução do presente, e admitir tacitamente como de há muito existente a situação que estabelece com solidez no futuro. O reconhecimento simplesmente enunciado nada mais por certo ganharia em clareza e far-nos-hia perder muito em dignidade, porque, argumentando-se na exigência com o passado, não convinha que desmerecesse depois na consecução o próprio argumento que se invocara. Para quem não ignora quanto, apesar da sua excessiva tolerância, o Governo Chinez se mostra sempre resistente a quaisquer concessões que definida e claramente confirmem direitos que o lesem, embora de facto ele os haja admitido há longo tempo, fácil será avaliar quão trabalhosa seria a luta em que não só se obteve que a colónia de Macau deixasse afinal de ser julgada território chinês por aquele Governo, mas até que esse reconhecimento se enunciasse de forma que nem por isso a mesma colónia fosse considerada menos independente durante um largo passado, cuja história mais nos arriscava a exigência do que a favorecia ou corroborava. Podia conseguir-se mais? Era de esperar que se obtivesse tanto?\n\nLogo que oficialmente se dê à luz o Tratado, é provável que, por um relatório minucioso, o público seja largamente informado das dificuldades que houve a combater e de todas as interessantes peripécias desta gloriosa negociação. — Admirar-se-ha em tal narrativa a grandeza da luta. Por agora só podemos manifestar com a publicação do Tratado o resultado dela.\n\nTendo presenciado as inequívocas demonstrações com que os estrangeiros residentes nesta cidade tão espontânea e delicadamente se associaram ao regozijo público, na volta de S. Exa. o Governador, julgamos cumprir um dever juntando à nossa cópia uma tradução em inglês, devida à hábil pena e à obsequiosa dedicação de um distinto cavalheiro, que estima e deseja cordialmente as glórias de Portugal.\n\nMacau. 11 de Setembro de 1862.\n\nA.-M.

His Excellency the Governor has already been pleased to assert that the Government will gladly avail itself of any scheme which aims at proper illumination; and from the present inefficient and unsatisfactory provision made through the medium of oil, and from its economy, there is no doubt that gas will be extensively used by the natives, not only for lighting but also (on account of the great expense of fuel) for general domestic purposes.\n\nAn arrangement has been entered into with His Excellency the Governor of the Colony, which has already received the sanction of the Home Government, through his Grace the Duke of Newcastle as Colonial Secretary, for the privilege of lighting the City with gas, upon terms highly advantageous.\n\nIt is ascertained upon credible authority, that 800 public street lights will be required so soon as the supply can be furnished, and it is believed that this demand for the City only will occasion a consumption of at least 82,000 cubic feet of gas daily, in addition to which there are upwards of 50 Public Buildings, and about 120 large Mercantile Establishments, and 800 or 900 Tradesmen and other European Residents; and it is for this demand the Company propose in the first place to provide, acquiring, however, at the same time, land enough, and laying down pipes and erecting works so as to meet the increased general demand which it is believed will be rapidly made upon them.\n\nA responsible Contractor has undertaken to supply all the Plant and Machinery, including 12 miles of pipes, varying in size from 12-inch to 2-inch main, necessary for efficiently supplying 100,000 cubic feet of Gas daily, for the sum of £10,000 free on board, taking in payment one-half in shares and half in cash. The freight of the plant, &c., the cost of erecting works, laying down the mains, and supplying meters and lampposts, are estimated, with an ample margin, at £9,000; so that the whole of the works, ready for the distribution of gas, may be safely reckoned upon as not exceeding £19,000. The land whereon it is proposed that the works shall be constructed has already been set out by the Government in an advantageous position, and a Lease has been arranged to be given for a term of 999 years for a reasonable annual payment.\n\nOf the success of the undertaking there can be no doubt, as, after making liberal allowances under every item of expense, and from statistics procured from Hong Kong, should the demand be even limited to the 100,000 cubic feet per day, as estimated, it is apprehended that the Company's profits from the commencement of operations cannot be less than 20 per cent. per annum upon the proposed Capital; and this profit will probably be increased commensurate with the anticipated further demand for light.\n\nThe above calculations have been based on the supply of Coals from England, but should the Coal found in the Islands Labuan and Formosa, and the Empire of Japan, possess sufficient Gas-producing qualities, the profits to the Company will necessarily be largely increased.\n\nWith reference to the relative mercantile values of the different modes of illumination in Hong Kong, the Editor of the **China Mail**, of 29th May, 1861, computes that, if Gas were sold at 5 dollars (25s.) per 1,000 feet, it would favourably compete with Oil; and this calculation is confirmed by gentlemen who have been resident there, and who are impressed with the great advantage which the consumers of Gas will possess over the consumers of Oil, and of which the residents of Hong Kong are fully aware.\n\nA most favourable arrangement has been made with the Concessionnaire for the purchase of his privileges, by which he has agreed to take entire payment in shares of the Company.\n\nThe amount of each call will not exceed £2. 10s. per share, and will be made at intervals of not less than two months.\n\nConsidering that the scheme has the sanction and support of the Imperial and Colonial Governments, and also the necessity of Hong Kong being better lighted, the amount at which Coal can be purchased for delivery at Hong Kong, and the price which will be obtained by the Company for Gas, it is confidently submitted that it possesses elements of success which cannot fail to afford the contemplated dividend upon the amount of capital required for its development.\n\nApplications for Shares, addressed in the annexed form to the Directors, may be sent to SAMUEL WOODS, Esq., Broker to the Company, and to the Secretary of the Company, of whom also Prospectuses and further information may be obtained. Every application must be accompanied by the annexed Bankers' Receipt.\n\nCommunications for the Board of Directors to be addressed to the Secretary of the Company, at their Temporary Offices, No. 92, Gresham House.\n\n## FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES\n\nTo the Directors of the Hong Kong and China Gas Company, Limited.\n\nGENTLEMEN,\n\nI have this day paid to your Bankers a deposit of £ hereby request that you will allot me Shares of £10 each in the Hong Kong and China Gas Company, Limited, and I hereby agree to accept such Shares, or any smaller number that may be allotted to me, and to pay the remainder of the deposit of Ten Shillings per Share on the Shares allotted, and to execute the Deed of Settlement of the Company when required.\n\nReceived the \n\nName in full \n\nAddress in full \n\nDate day of 186 \n\nI am, Gentlemen, \n\nYour obedient Servant,\n\nDirectors of the Hong Kong and China Gas Company, Limited, from the sum of £ on account of the Prospectus, on an application for an allotment of Shares in the undertaking, being the deposit made in accordance with the terms of the \n\nFor MASTERMAN, PETERS, MILDRED & Co., \n\nBankers.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-090 - Public Offices & Others - 1862.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 255885, "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": "CO129-091 - Acting Governor Mercer - 1863 [1-3]", "page_number": 213, "title": "CO129-091 - Acting Governor Mercer - 1863 [1-3]", "content_text": "merely a support to the Java.

His knowledge of the native language is very extensive, and I have heard very good judges declare that they have seldom heard any European express himself so fluently and so perfectly in the style and manner of the people of this country. During our short and decisive campaign at Bhurtpoor, Lieutenant Caine acted as Brigade Major, and his Conduct and gallantry were brought to my notice in such glowing colours by Major Everard, near whom he acted, that I inserted his name in my report to Lord Combernere, in the following manner:\n\n\"Major Everard reports, that Brigade Major Caine, of His Majesty's 14th Regiment, accompanied him throughout, and distinguished himself particularly.\"\n\nAdded to all this, Lieutenant Caine is gentleman-like in appearance and manners, and altogether a safe, good member of society.

and no ships of war or privateer of either belligerent shall hereafter be permitted to sail out of or leave any port, roadstead, or water subject to British jurisdiction, from which any vessel of the other belligerent (whether the same shall be a ship of war, a privateer, or a merchant ship) shall have previously departed, until after the expiration of at least twenty-four hours from the departure of such last mentioned vessel beyond the territorial jurisdiction of Her Majesty. \n\n### II. \nIf any ship of war or privateer of either belligerent shall, after the time when this order shall be first notified and put in force in the United Kingdom and in the Channel Islands, and in the several Colonies and Foreign Possessions and Dependencies of Her Majesty respectively, enter any port, roadstead, or waters belonging to Her Majesty either in the United Kingdom or in the Channel Islands, or in any of Her Majesty's Colonies or Foreign Possessions or Dependencies, such vessel shall be required to depart and to put to sea within twenty-four hours after her entrance into such port, roadstead, or waters, except in case of stress of weather, or of her requiring provisions or things necessary for the subsistence of her crew, or repairs; in either of which cases the authorities of the port, or of the nearest port (as the case may be), shall require her to put to sea as soon as possible after the expiration of such period of twenty-four hours, without permitting her to take in supplies, beyond what may be necessary for her immediate use; and no such vessel which may have been allowed to remain within British waters for the purpose of repair shall continue in any such port, roadstead, or waters, for a longer period than twenty-four hours after her necessary repairs shall have been completed: Provided, nevertheless, that in all cases in which there shall be any vessels (whether ships of war, privateers, or merchant ships) of the said belligerent parties in the same port, roadstead, or waters within the territorial jurisdiction of Her Majesty, there shall be an interval of not less than twenty-four hours between the departure therefrom of any such vessel (whether a ship of war, a privateer, or a merchant ship) of the one belligerent, and the subsequent departure therefrom of any ship of war or privateer of the other belligerent; and the times, hereby limited, for the departure of such ships of war and privateers respectively, shall always in case of necessity be extended, so far as may be requisite for giving effect to this proviso, but not further or otherwise. \n\n### III. \nNo ship of war or privateer of either belligerent shall hereafter be permitted while in any port, roadstead, or waters subject to the territorial jurisdiction of Her Majesty, to take in any supplies, except provisions and such other things as may be requisite for the subsistence of her crew; and except so much coal only as may be sufficient to carry such vessel to the nearest port of her own country or to some nearer destination; and no coal shall be again supplied to any such ship of war or privateer in the same or any other port, roadstead, or waters, subject to the territorial jurisdiction of Her Majesty, without special permission, until after the expiration of three months from the time when such coal may have been last supplied to her within British waters as aforesaid.\n\nI have the honor to be, Sir, Your most obedient humble Servant, \n\n**EDWARD CARDWELL.** \n\nThe Officer Administering the Government of Hongkong. \n\nNow, therefore, it is hereby declared, that the above Rules are to be obeyed by all persons within the said Colony of Hongkong, and that obedience to the said Rules will be strictly enforced. \n\nBy His Excellency's Command, \n\n**W.

The Chamber advocates that, on the revision of the Treaty, all Textile Fabrics and Metals be henceforth admitted at one half the rates chargeable under the existing Tariff, that is, reducing the charge originally computed at about Five per cent (5%) ad valorem to Two and a half per cent (2½%).\n\n(24.)\n\nAnd further, in view of the probability that a decline in the value of Cotton during the next few years will render the rates of the existing Tariff a charge of more than Five per cent (5%) upon the value of Cotton Manufactures, Your Memorialists trust that the proposed concession will receive Your Grace's favorable consideration.\n\n(25.)\n\nThe means of providing expeditious carriage is so greatly beneficial to commerce that entire abolition of all charges on Coals, both Foreign and Chinese, is earnestly sought for, whether under the Tariff or imposed as Coast Dues; the fact that heavy Dues were laid upon the article seems to have escaped the notice of the compilers of the existing Tariff; it is however confidently expected that this fuel will be freed from all imposts, as refusal to do so would be diametrically opposed to Chinese interests. In proof of the above, an extract is here given from Mr. Commissioner FITZROY's last Report of the Trade of Shanghai:\n\n\"The duty levied on Foreign Coals imported into China is fixed by Treaty at 5 candarins per ton. The duty charged upon Native Coals exported is 4 candarins per pecul; and therefore under the Coast Trade Regulations, the duty on Coals passing from one Chinese Port to another amounts to six candarins a pecul. The disadvantage under which the native product labors is so evident that it scarcely needs the proof communicated to me by a foreign merchant during the last summer, being the result of two operations in which his firm had engaged as an experiment, and which I subjoin.\n\n| Operation | Peculs | Duty Paid | Duty Rate | Market Value |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 1 | 7,196 | Tls. 480.9.6 | 23″ | Tls. 1,997.1.7 |\n| 2 | 10,000 | Tls. 668.4.0 | 23° | Tls. 2,910 |\n\n\"Thus the carriage by Sea in foreign bottoms from one port to another of the produce of Chinese Coal Fields is at present virtually prohibited.\"\n\n(26.)\n\n**ARTICLE XXVIII** contains direct allusion to irregularities in the imposition of Transit Duties, which, at the close of a period of ten years, still continue to be a great source of annoyance to native purchasers of foreign Imports and indirectly to the British Merchant.\n\n(27.)\n\nNot only does each Province of the Chinese Empire levy Dues on foreign Goods in transit, but it is almost universal that Dues are exacted by the Prefect exercising authority over the Foo or first subdivisions of a Province. In the Province of Fokien and the Western district of the Canton Province, a systematic imposition is practised, detrimental to commercial interests, and producing constant fluctuations in Markets, which, if uninfluenced by these illegal acts, would be ruled by the ordinary effects of supply and demand.

His Excellency in Council would accordingly propose that, as the pay to be given to these men is very liberal, a certain monthly deduction be made from it, and carried to the account of each man, sufficient to cover the cost of his passage, and to allow him a moderate sum for his journey and maintenance to his home, on his arrival in India.\n\n(596)", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-127 - Public Offices - 1867.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 272400, "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": "CO129-127 - Public Offices - 1867", "page_number": 593, "title": "CO129-127 - Public Offices - 1867", "content_text": "(22)\n\n3.

I suggest that Mr. Creagh be at once struck off the rolls of the Punjab Constabulary, so far as the effective strength goes but that his name be retained in italics in his present position much in the same way as those of Staff-Corps officers in the cadres. His promotion will thus go on as a supernumerary over and above the regular strength, and when he may signify his wish to return, after an interval of five years, I propose he should get the first vacancy in the grade in which his name may then be.\n\nFrom T.

The following items are from the Japan Times:—\n\nWe are still unable to give the name of the new port on the West coast. We are glad to find that our fear that Tsurunga would be chosen was unfounded; the foreign Ministers have expressed themselves strongly against it. The Serpent, one of H.B.M.'s surveying ships, is now engaged examining all the apparently eligible harbours on the West coast, and some weeks must necessarily elapse before Captain Bullock can make his report.\n\nOur news from Osaka are by no means satisfactory; they augur anything but ease for the Shingoon and peace for the empire. Consequently, unless existing difficulties can be previously arranged, we cannot anticipate much advantage for ourselves when the ports are opened next year. The combination of Daimios against the Shiogoon, to which we alluded last mail, we have now ascertained to be an actual and threatening reality. They very naturally object to the extension of a trade in which they have no share, and the profits from which only strengthen an able and dangerous rival, whom they shrewdly suspect of a design to become their absolute master.\n\nIt appears that Osaka not being strictly his own port, the Shiogoon, by taking the responsibility of promising that it shall be opened in 1868, has so far committed himself that the Daimios opposed to him have just ground of complaint that they had not been previously consulted. They carefully avoided giving him any opportunity of consulting them, it must be remarked, by steadily refusing to attend the conference which he has repeatedly endeavoured to assemble for the purpose. They declare that Osaka shall not be opened, unless foreign trade is also permitted at certain points in their own dominions, and Satsuma, Chiosiu, Echizen, Tosa, and Kanga have declared that if Osaka be opened in 1868, they will themselves invite foreigners to trade at their own ports. It is difficult to say how this can be prevented with any show of right, and very easy to see that much evil will result from the fulfilment of their threat. Subjects of Powers having treaties with the Shiogoon can be punished for trading at any of his ports not opened by those treaties, but at ports out of his territory, and where his authority is not acknowledged, we can see nothing to prevent traders doing whatever business they can, particularly when specially invited by the Sovereign of that country.\n\nOn the other hand, foreign Powers will certainly never make a number of separate treaties with these individual Daimios, and, consequently, foreign traders repairing to their ports would have to do so on their own responsibility, and would be without the inestimable advantage of consular protection. Probably business trade, by means of coasting vessels, supercargos, and receiving ships, a system the evils and inconveniences of which are manifest. The development of the Japan trade has been so...\n\n#### PASSENGERS OUTWARD.\n\nPer P. and O. steamer Euxine, from Southampton, August 4-To Shanghai: Mrs. Algernon Wright and child.

It is of too much interest that I should not reproduce what is said about it in a small local paper, because it is worthy to be known generally that during the last year the \"Javasche Zee en Brand Assurantie Maatschappij\" lost its reserve fund and 50,000f. of its capital; the \"Bataviasche Zee en Brand Assurantie Maatschappij\" lost 50,000f. of its capital of 180,000f; the \"Koloniale Zee en Brand Assurantie Maatschappij\" lost its reserve fund; the \"Tweede Koloniale Zee en Brand Assurantie Maatschappij\" (established last year) lost 61,000f.; and the \"Oosterling\" (established last year) 30,760f. of its capital. The very unsatisfactory result of the companies who are represented here is due to the fact that they accept too great risks and insure too large sums upon the several ships.\n\nWe notice that the \"Teping\" was the first of the tea clippers to pass Anjer.

The \"Maitland\" sailed two days after her, and the \"Serica\" passed Anjer on the 27th, four days after the \"Maitland\".\n\n### THE CIVIL SERVICE.-Foreign-office\n\nMr. H. B.

The Duke of MONTROSE: I beg to lay upon the table a postal convention between this country and the United States, under which the postage between the two countries would be reduced from one shilling to sixpence. We hope that, in addition to this reduction, we shall have a more frequent communication with America; and I have little doubt that in a short time we shall arrive at what, perhaps, we never could have expected—a daily communication with the United States. By means of this convention, we shall also be able to reduce very considerably the postage to Canada. The letters to Canada passing through the United States will be reduced from one shilling to eightpence. We shall also have an opportunity of facilitating the communication with the new colony of British Columbia. We shall be enabled to send letters there in a much shorter time than by the present route by the Isthmus of Panama, and at a very much reduced cost.\n\nI think your lordships will consider that these arrangements will be satisfactory to the country at large. I must say that the United States Government have acted with the greatest cordiality and with the greatest anxiety to facilitate all these communications. (Hear.) I am anxious to take this opportunity of making some remarks on the subject of our postal arrangements with India and China. After long consideration of the subject, a committee of your lordships' House recommended the Government to give notice for the termination of the existing contracts for the purpose of having fresh tenders and a more frequent communication with India. It was proposed that we should have a weekly mail to Bombay, and that a mail should proceed by railway from Bombay to Calcutta and Madras.\n\nWe have followed out the recommendations of the committee. We have given notice to terminate the existing contracts, and advertised for tenders for future contracts to run mails from Marseilles to Alexandria, and from Alexandria to Bombay, China, and Australia. But a very curious idea has got into the public mind on the subject, and it has been alluded to in the other House of Parliament, and in many of the newspapers—namely, that in following out the recommendations of the committee, we intended to give up the control of the postal communication with India, and to throw it entirely into the hands of foreign Governments. This is most entirely and gratuitously a mistake. Such an idea never entered into my mind, or into that of any other member of the Government; and the only ground for it could be that in giving notice for tenders, we did not put into them that we would not contract with any foreign Government.\n\nFrom that, people have taken the idea that we were to contract with the Messageries Imperiales and give up the control of the communication by our own vessels. In the committee of the House of Commons, it was suggested that we should avail ourselves of the Messageries Imperiales in several cases, and even that we should throw it into their hands if they offered a cheaper service than our own countrymen. That is wrong, but I do not say that we shall not under some circumstances avail ourselves of that company, and at present, we send some letters on their way to China by their boats. But these are only supplementary arrangements associated with the boats under our own control. To throw everything into the hands of any foreign country would be extremely impolitic, even though in the first instance, it might enable us to perform the service cheaper.\n\n**COMMERCIAL**\n\n### COFFEE\n\nThe market remains in a very good position, because there was more demand for consumption. For Malang coffee of the last sale of the Dutch Trading Company, somewhat higher prices were paid; the quality was very inferior. Of private imports, white, yellow, and brown sorts are very scarce.\n\n| Type | Quantity | Price |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Ordinary to good ordinary greenish, some brownish, ex Kandeish | 800 bags | different prices |\n| Good ordinary greenish, ex Kandeish | 800 bags | different prices |\n\nImported were 8,144 piculs Java, ex Triton; 1,034 piculs, per Eva Johanna; and 2,612 piculs, ex Landbouw.\n\n### SUGAR (RAW)\n\nThe 38,924 baskets Java which were sold by the Dutch Trading Company on the 24th ultimo realised full May prices for brown and yellow sorts, and f. to under them for white quality. For the result of the sale, a very good impression was made upon the demand, which has been very firm since. Of private imports, 8,500 baskets were sold before and after the sale, of which 3,500 per Eva Johanna at full July prices to f. higher.\n\n| Quantity | Price |\n| --- | --- |\n| 2,221 baskets Java, ex Triton | 293f.

The assertion may more or less be true, but I cannot warrant it. The same paper also told that the Minister of the War Department has the intention to augment the militia with 25,000 soldiers, so that the budget of war will be brought from 13 to 20 millions.\n\n#### TEA\n\nThe market is unaltered; the quotation is for China Congou, Sloe., 175c.; and for Java do., 65c. to 75c., according to the quality.\n\n#### RICE\n\nThe market is very firm; of uncleaned, 1,896 b.

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

Coal Stores and opposite and on either side of the Gas Works, the wall is being there constructed under Government plans but certainly not to my satisfaction. I am constantly protesting against the wretched manner in which the work is being executed and warning the Tenants that I shall not take over the wall when completed but I can do nothing more, and I feel sure Mr. Cleverly did the same thing while the wall between the Harbour Master's Office and Water Police Wharf was... \n\n306", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-129 - Sir MacDonnell - 1868 [1-3].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 273511, "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": "CO129-129 - Sir MacDonnell - 1868 [1-3]", "page_number": 320, "title": "CO129-129 - Sir MacDonnell - 1868 [1-3]", "content_text": "318 \n\nvery imperfect at Hongkong; during the dry season they are washed art, and at all times in many situations, owing to the great fall, unless the supply could be obtained here.

This allows the body of water to run off quickly that it leaves solid matter behind. The ends of these drains at the harbor, and the different openings of them in the town, are often very offensive, and the exhalations from them must be very injurious to the public health.\n\nIt would also save valuable manure, which, upon the water closet system, is discharged into the harbor polluting the sea water.

As a matter of great consequence, it allows of the excreta being collected and made available (as manure) without becoming a nuisance.\n\nThe earth of Hongkong is mostly disintegrated granite containing a large quantity of silica, and very little clay, and for deodorising purposes would require the admixture of coal ashes.

The only suspicious circumstance in the affair is the statement to the effect that the Chinese passengers hoisted two lanterns in the mizzen rigging, which may or may not have been a signal to the pirates. The suffering of the captain and his crew must have been extremely painful, and the conduct of the natives of Hainan is only what may be expected from the inhabitants of such a wild coast. That the Lesmona was insufficiently armed, there is no doubt, but such an unexpected attack will doubtless teach captains of small coasting vessels to provide their ships with something better than three-pounder guns for throwing rockets.\n\nThe following is the captain's account of the affair:\n\nOn the 20th of May, 1868, we left Hongkong roads in the Lesmond, in every way seaworthy, having a general cargo and twelve Chinese passengers for Fai gon. The wind, which was easterly on our departure, veered afterwards more to the southward, and induced us to take the inner route, between Haitan and the Paracelles. On the 25th, at noon, we were by observation in lat. 18 deg. 11 min. N., lon. 110 deg. 48 min. E., wind very light from S. to S.S.E., there being a short distance from us three junks, which we thought to be fishing vessels and not of a suspicious character, one of them was about a quarter of a mile astern of us, another a little more to leeward ahead, and the third to leeward astern about one mile distant.\n\nWhile we were taking our dinner we heard a gun fired, whereupon I immediately went on deck, and ascertained from one of the seamen, by name G. Diesmeyer, who was at the wheel, that the shot was fired from the next junk astern of us, which at the same time had hoisted a red flag.\n\nI instantly ordered the small fire-arms with ammunition, powder, and shot for the two guns on deck to be carried up, while the pirates, with the help of sweeps, were nearing our vessel fast. The yards were then braced sharp in, to impel the vessel faster through the water, but it was of no avail, the wind being too light. The small three-pounder on the poop was only made to be used for throwing fire rockets, so the distance between us and the junk was yet too great to allow balls to take effect. The cannister shots which followed in quick succession out of two apparently six-pounders, on the fore deck of the pirate, now swept our decks and tore the sails and rigging; it was therefore deemed advisable by the officers and myself to wait until the pirate was going to board our vessel, and then to drive him back by musketry. The eight double-barrelled breech-loading muskets were loaded by the carpenter, and distributed among the crew, the passengers having by this time hidden themselves below.\n\nThe pirate then, under a sustained fire of guns and muskets, approached nearer the vessel, and the crew, with the exception of the able seaman, S. Winter, refused to defend themselves, although the mate explained to them that by cowardly surrendering they would not save their lives; nevertheless, they insisted upon refusing, and demanded that the gig, which was laying on the poop, should be launched. This, however, I would not permit, because it would have been sure destruction both of boat and men.\n\nShortly after the pirates boarded, after having thrown some stink-pots on deck, I went into the cabin and the officers and men forward. Three of the pirates then watched the entrances of the cabin, while some spiked the gun on the forecastle, and the rest, about 20 or 25 men altogether, demanded the money, which was on board; they said I had $1,000 in my possession, and a box of treasure belonging to the cargo. Upon explanation that there was no money on board, they insisted upon taking what they liked of the cargo, for which purpose some of the crew had to assist them in opening boxes and bales and hand them on deck, from whence the contents were transferred to the piratical craft. There was taken chiefly copper and brass ware, silks, trinkets, and other valuable articles, the abovenamed S. Winter being kept all the time by the pirates on deck to steer the ship, and he had to keep her on a North Easterly course.\n\nAfter having pillaged until dark, and having destroyed in the cabin everything which they could not make use of, such as instruments, books, charts, and papers, they confined me together with the crew and passengers in the coal locker in the fore peak, under the between decks of the vessel, a room of about 350 cubic feet, secured the hatch of it by a stream anchor and chains, shut the hatches on deck, and fastened them by the iron bars attached. The sailmaker, named Harras, however, effected his escape, and stowed himself away in the slings of the upper main-topsail. As soon as the hatches were shut, the proposal was renewed to the crew, which was made several times during the afternoon—that was, to take the knives which were in a box laying between other goods, and to attack the pirates. Although the crew showed little inclination to follow this idea, a hole was nevertheless cut by the carpenter with a pocket knife in the bulkhead, which divided the coal-locker from the hold; by this aperture I entered the cargo room, with the mate, carpenter, and H. Winter, and by opening packages and emptying some of their contents, we succeeded after several hours' labour in effecting an opening sufficiently large to admit a man to crawl through. Shortly after the shutting of the hatches we heard a thumping against the ship's side, which convinced us that the pirates were scuttling the vessel. After having effected the passage through the cargo-room I sent the mate, carpenter, and H. Winter aft to secure the knives, and forced open the fore-hatch myself to reconnoitre the whereabouts of the pirates. I then found nobody on deck, the piratical junk then laying a short distance from the ship. Returning to the fore-hatch to release the crew, I was informed by the men that the water was rushing in strongly under the stern of the ship, and having convinced myself that the ship was listing over to port very much, and in a sinking condition, I ordered the boats to be launched. The longboat, which I intended to have lowered first, was so much cut up by the pirates that it was entirely useless; the other boat had four large holes in the bottom, which were patched up with canvas, blankets, &c., and then lowered over the side.\n\nDuring the time the crew were engaged with this business, and I was searching for the ship's papers, some of the passengers had hoisted in the mizzen-rigging two lanterns, although they refused a short while before to come on deck. By this treacherous act I was forced to leave the ship, after cutting adrift spare spars, water-casks, &c., no time being allowed to construct a raft, on account of the dangerous neighbourhood of the pirates. In the boat were twelve persons, and in the leaky state of it this situation was not much better than that on board of the ship.\n\nPage 69\n542", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-132 - Sir MacDonnell - 1868 [8-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 275432, "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": "CO129-133 - Sir MacDonnell - 1868 [10-12]", "page_number": 4, "title": "CO129-133 - Sir MacDonnell - 1868 [10-12]", "content_text": "## \nFour of these instead of six will therefore be quite sufficient for the two engines.\n\nA coal truck on wheels for carrying coals to the engine and a suction tank in accordance with Messrs Merryweather's drawings will be desirable additions to the Engine plant, and I, therefore, hope Your Grace will give directions for having these two latter articles supplied in lieu of 2 of the Mersey Reel.\n\nI have the honour to be,\nMy Lord Duke,\nYour Grace's most obedient humble servant,\nHird Graham Macdonnell\n\nPage 3", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-133 - Sir MacDonnell - 1868 [10-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 275433, "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": "CO129-133 - Sir MacDonnell - 1868 [10-12]", "page_number": 5, "title": "CO129-133 - Sir MacDonnell - 1868 [10-12]", "content_text": "## Wongkong, 8th October 1868\n\n**Governor, Sir Richard Graves MacDonnell**\n\nTo **The Duke of Buckingham & Chandos**\n\nFive engine hose reels to be supplied only instead of the six previously asked for.\n\n1 Coal truck with wheel and 1 Canvas engine tank applied for.\n\n## Minute\n\n`581/2622` Entered by The Crown Agents `587`\n\n**Mr. Murray, Mr. Elliot, Mr. Rogers, Mr. Adderley**\n\n`23-10-1868`\n\nI am directed by the Duke of Buckingham to transmit to you in continuation of letters of the 10th & 9th Nov...\n\nA copy of a certain despatch from ... that 4 ... requesting instead of six hose reels should be...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-133 - Sir MacDonnell - 1868 [10-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 275503, "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": "CO129-133 - Sir MacDonnell - 1868 [10-12]", "page_number": 75, "title": "CO129-133 - Sir MacDonnell - 1868 [10-12]", "content_text": "## Governesti Dr MacDonnell No. 12.\n\nI would be to compel the Imperial Govt to contribute to the support of the Govt of H.K.\n\nThink I spell despair\n\nWhat to say that the Govt\n\nObserved\n\nthat in the opinion of\n\nIn Austin which\n\nwas adopted\n\nby the Local Govt for my\n\nthe attend & Finance Committee\n\npro militas parliament.

On the contrary, I have never written a despatch in which I have not regretted that a policy justified by necessity should be encumbered with any pecuniary gain, because the latter affords to opponents of that policy an opportunity to impute to myself and my Council motives the reverse of those by which we are animated. If mere addition of Revenue had been our object, I should not have accepted $252,000 as the Annual License Fee instead of upwards of $360,000 which was actually offered, nor would I have gradually reduced the original $260,000 to $204,000 at which it stands during the present month.”\n\n8. The above plain statement completely disproves the assertion of the Committee, that since 1866, the Licenses \"had been put up to sale and granted to the highest bidder,\" and I am now further instructed to add, that not merely had $360,000 been declined, but that by consecutive reductions the License Fees had been lowered till a few weeks back they reached only $156,000.\n\n9. Even that reduction was less than His Excellency had hoped to effect, for as more fully explained in his recent financial statement to the Legislative Council, an extract from which is appended hereto, he was prepared (Par. 19) to make any reduction necessary to compensate the Licensees for excluding all but Chinese from the Play Houses—a reform now most effectually carried out.\n\n10. Reasons alluded to in the accompanying Appendix (Page 7, Par. 19 and 20), and more fully explained in the Governor's communications to the Secretary of State, have produced for the moment the unexpected result of an increase of License Fees just as the frequenters of the Licensed Houses were diminished.\n\n11. It is perhaps superfluous now to accumulate further evidence of the inaccuracy into which the Social Science Committee have fallen as to a matter of fact, when they represented this Government as selling the License Monopoly to \"the highest bidder.\" The Governor however wishes to record at the same time his conviction of the excellent objects of the Committee and of the general body which they represent. He attributes to them nothing more than an inadvertent although indefensible mistake. It is, however, unfortunate that it occurred in reference to the very point on which it was most important that there should be no misrepresentation; and it cannot be doubted that this will be a source of regret to the Committee, especially when they learn that at the very last meeting of the Legislative Council (vide Appendix, Page 8) His Excellency distinctly refused to accept the suggestion of a leading unofficial Member of that body and use the License Fees for the purpose of diminishing the local taxation of the Colony.\n\n12. The personal feelings and sympathies of His Excellency are entirely with the Committee, and had he never visited China, nor been compelled by his duty to this Community to deal on the spot with the unquestioned and real evils arising from the inordinate love of Gambling of the native population here, and the absolute necessity for permitting, under regulated and comparatively safe conditions, a vent for a vice, whose existence under worse conditions would have been the only result of Government inaction, it is very probable that, as a Member of the Social Science Association, he might have subscribed, and applauded himself for subscribing a remonstrance of the kind addressed by the Committee to the Secretary of State.\n\n13. It is also quite possible under such circumstances that, like the Committee, he might have regarded the policy pursued at Heligoland, Baden, and here, as identical. Gambling, he might have reflected, is permitted at all those places, a revenue results therefrom in each. Such a policy is indefensible at Baden and Heligoland, where unnecessarily and for the sake of money it encourages a vice which might otherwise die out or at least decline. Therefore he might perhaps have argued it is equally indefensible at Hongkong. Nevertheless no one here would pretend that there is the remotest chance of the vice of Gambling being diminished by suppression of the Licensed Houses, as would be the case at Baden. It would simply become indefinitely more extended than now. If it were not legalised so completely as to require no Police interference, however little, there would inevitably be Police corruption and consequent insecurity to the Community. Unless therefore it be contended that similar consequences would follow the abolition of the Monopoly at Heligoland there is no parallel between the two cases.\n\n14. Again, only natives, who are practically beyond the reach of Government in such a matter, are here allowed to enter the Licensed Houses, and unless it be shown that Europeans are similarly excluded at Heligoland and that Gaming is only permitted there to an overwhelming majority of Orientals, or strangers coming and going in numbers exceeding 600,000 every year, and that it is only allowed because they cannot otherwise be efficiently reached by the Police, no parallel is established between that place and Hongkong.\n\n15. Finally, to complete such parallel, it would be further necessary to show that the Authorities at Heligoland had been exerting themselves as here from the first to keep down any Revenue accruing from the Licenses beyond the amount necessary to work the system as a strictly Police measure, a motive which it is not pretended to adduce in favor of licensing Gaming in Europe.\n\n16. It may therefore be as well to speak frankly, and declare at once that the only argument in the Memorial of the Committee which seems to His Excellency deserving notice, is their suggestion (Par. 9) that the Authorities here have not as yet so exhausted the direct means at their disposal for the suppression of Gambling as to justify a departure from the general principles of penal jurisprudence elsewhere. In illustration of this, the Committee state that the Chinese laws and the local Ordinances against Gambling had never been fairly put in execution, and especially that the Ordinance for improving the Chinese law of the Tithings, Hundreds and Frank pledges, which in China had always been found quite sufficient for the entire suppression of the practice, had never been put in force at all.\n\n17. It is difficult to imagine where the Committee got their information as to the entire Suppression of Gambling in Chinese Cities by laws establishing Tithings and Hundreds, &c. Gambling has been now and then stopped in a particular place for a short time by high officials, who were guided sometimes by upright and sometimes by corrupt motives, such as that of raising the toll on an illegal luxury. This however has been done by extreme severity such as razing houses to the ground and torturing the landlords, measures to which it is true this Government has never yet resorted. It is however totally without foundation to assert that Gaming does not prevail most extensively and publicly in every city of the Empire, although nominally the law forbids it. This subject however has been sufficiently alluded to in the Governor's despatch of the 30th January last, (Pars. 3, 4 and 5) which the Committee had before them when advancing the above extraordinary assertion.\n\n18. At this moment the Police system inaugurated by His Excellency amongst the Chinese,—an institution quite apart from that of the Colony—is working admirably, but the last thing which a resident here could dream of would be the handing over to any Chinese, whether in Tithings, Hundreds or otherwise than as parties directly and openly interested therein like the Licensees, the slightest control...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-133 - Sir MacDonnell - 1868 [10-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 275594, "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": "CO129-133 - Sir MacDonnell - 1868 [10-12]", "page_number": 166, "title": "CO129-133 - Sir MacDonnell - 1868 [10-12]", "content_text": "# L \n163 \n\nIn this case, they are recommended as making engines of the most compact form, which, given the limited space in the \"Victoria\", is a matter of importance. \n\nPlan of vessel attached.\n\n**(Signed)** Ar.
