E. SHELLEY, \n\nClerk of the Councils. \n\nJOHN FRANCIS DAVIS, Governor, &c. &c. \n\nHONGKONG.-Published by Authority. \n\nPrinted by Jous CarK. \n\nIn 230 H tong \n\nTo His Excellency the Governon \n\nof Hongkong and its Dependencies and the the Colony Honorable Members of the Legislative Coun- cil of Hongkong. 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.

Before leaving I gave out rounds of ammunition, and I believe the Police had 20 rounds more. I placed Mr Caldwell in charge of one boat, Mr Ryan in charge of another; I went in the third; in my boat there were 8 in all. Two junks were pointed out to me as the two junks from which the stones were thrown at the Police-boat; mine was the nearest in-shore to the junks; my boat was the outside one. Mr Caldwell's boat was in the rear of mine; the other boat was in-shore. I steered alongside the outward junk. I felt the boat kept back; I could not get her wholly broadside on to the junk before arriving alongside. The people in the junks had fired large and small guns, I mean ginjals and matchlocks. I heard shots strike the water. This fire was returned by all the Police boats. I heard Mr Caldwell speaking in Chinese very loud, and answers apparently made from the junks. Finding the other boats did not get alongside, and that a determined resistance was made, I ordered my boat to be shoved off, and told the other two boats to fall back. After leaving the junks, they continued firing 5 or 6 shots from ginjals; I told the Police not to return the fire, and ordered them out of reach of the fire from the junk. Some of the Police had no ammunition this time; they asked me for some, as they were anxious to return and make a second attack; a European in my boat had no arms. At this time I was not aware of any accident happening to the Police force; I had seen a man in the water when alongside the junk, but believed him to be one of the junkmen; I had an idea of picking him out, but on looking round, found he had either sunk or was taken on board the junk. The time I was alongside I was about half a minute; my impression was that my boat was kept back either by spears or bamboos from the junk; I could not see them, as it was remarkably dark, the wind strong, and the sea high. I determined to go to H.M.S. Cambrian for assistance, and ordered all but four rowers into another boat; before going, I directed Mr Caldwell to go as near the sterns of the junks as he could with safety, and request them to give in; and that if they did not, I was going to the man-of-war, and they would run the risk of being shot. Mr Caldwell called to me from his boat, that the junkmen were determined to resist. I then pulled to the Cambrian. The two junks were pointed out to me by the third Police-boat that remained near. I had no Chinamen in my boat; nothing was said to the junkmen from my boat. I heard Mr Caldwell calling out loudly to the junk people before any firing. I had a lantern in my boat, which I shewed; the three boats were to leeward of the junks; my boat may have been about 100 feet from the junks while Mr Caldwell was speaking; lights were shewn from one Police-boat to another while directions were given by me. When I arrived on board the Cambrian, I saw an officer, and asked if he was officer of the deck; he answered, \"Yes.\" I said, as nearly as I can recollect, \"I am the Superintendent of Police, and have come to apply to the Commodore for assistance to capture two suspicious junks which had fired upon and hustled off the Police-boats.\" The officer asked me if that was the firing he heard; I told him it was, and he desired me to accompany him below. He went into the stern cabin, and shortly after came out saying assistance should be rendered; I remained on deck till the boats were nearly ready, and then went into my own boat and guided the men-of-war's boats to where the junks were lying, pointing them out to the officer who was in command of the party. When I arrived near the junks, being ahead of the men-of-war boats, I saw the two Police-boats lying within 150 yards of the junks; the Police were rowing in the direction of the junks. I ordered them to keep to the rear of me, and not to fire. It was lighter by this time; it was now about 12 o'clock; I saw the navy boats go alongside the junk, and heard the people in the junks as if cheering or making a great shouting; before the navy boats touched the junks, they were fired into. A volley was fired by the navy boats, and afterwards there were about 20 straggling shots, but cannot say exactly whether they were wholly from the navy boats or some from the junks; after these shots were fired the navy boats cheered and boarded; the noise on board the junk was when I first got near. I boarded after the man-of-war's men; nearly all the sailors and marines were in the junks; they were very crowded. I saw some powder thrown overboard, and heard the plunging as of something heavy into the water; none of the junkmen at this time were to be seen; many of the sailors were below searching; it was dark below; Police lanterns were got; I did not see the sailors using their cutlasses; I saw no Chinamen in the water. I sent Mr Caldwell's boat to pick up some men who I heard in the water. Constable Smith was, I think, in the boat. I should say that the first fire from the Police-boats (before the navy boats came) did not take effect on the junks, as I heard no cries from the junk after the fire. I told the officer I would take charge of the junks, and that if he would lend me a boat to take the prisoners on shore, I would take charge of them. He ordered boats for this purpose, and directed all his men to go into the boats and leave the junks, which they did. I remained about half an hour after this on board; I had a thorough search made in and round the junks. Boarding nettings were triced up in the junk; they were the ordinary make of fishing nets. I examined the boats in order to satisfy myself whether the boats were piratical ones or not; and I believe they are not piratical boats; one had a cargo of molasses, and grain, and physic; the other boat, the large one, was empty. I found 4 matchlocks and 3 ginjals in the two boats; one of the watchlocks was burst; there were more lanyards and ropes for other ginjals.\n\nQuestion by Mr Shurtred—Mr Caldwell does not speak the dialect of the junkmen, but he understands a little. I was about 100 feet from the junks at the time Mr Caldwell spoke to them; his boat was to the rear of mine about 10 feet; the wind was high; we were to leeward of the junks; my belief was, and is that the junkmen understood and answered Mr Caldwell. We have 11 men now at the Station from these junks—nearly all were wounded—21 were brought to the Station from the junks, and one was picked up dead on Monday. I consider I have power under clause 7 of Ordinance 14 of 1840, to board any vessel whatever in the harbour, either day or night—of course having a reasonable object in view. The Superintendent and Inspectors of the Metropolitan London Police have exactly the same power. I have frequently exercised this power both day and night.\n\nQ. Under all the circumstances of this case, considering the trivial nature of the original charge, and the slight resistance the junks could have afforded to such a force as you took with you, did you feel yourself fully authorised to call in the assistance of the man-of-war without a Magistrate's Warrant? A. I conscientiously believe that under all the circumstances of the case, notwithstanding its slight origin, that no other proper course was open to me. With reference to my authority to get the assistance of the Navy, any Constable has power to demand assistance in carrying out his duty. As regards myself, I am authorised as commanding the Police to apply for the assistance of the Naval power on such occasion. I considered an overpowering force would effect the object of capturing the junks without any resistance or consequent bloodshed. I was not consulted with reference to the force from the man-of-war. When a person makes a complaint at the Station, it is a matter of course that immediate attention shall be paid to the complaint, so that the parties offending may be forthcoming to answer it. It was not consistent with the Inspectors' duty to allow Mr Muir's complaint to stand over till next day without taking immediate measures to apprehend the offenders, or otherwise secure their attendance next day.\n\nQuestioned by Mr Cairns.—When you applied for assistance from the Naval Commander, did you consider these were trading junks or pirates?—My impression was that they were piratical junks, because I could not account for the resistance they made but under such supposition.\n\nBy Mr Shortrede.—Whose duty is it to board and examine these junks when they anchor in the Harbour?—I do not consider that any government officer considers it his duty to Board Chinese vessels in this harbour, with a view of ascertaining their characters generally, unless upon especial information or suspicion; and in such a case it is my duty.\n\nQ. Does it consist with your knowledge that men dressed as policemen, or with badges upon their arms calling themselves policemen, have scurried and robbed junks in the Harbour? A. There have been none to my knowledge since the increase to the water-police 18 months ago; before that there were two instances of robbery by violence in the Harbour by persons representing themselves as policemen, and two cases of extortion by threats by Chinese in the employ of the government. A case occurred in April 1847—there was an attack made by a lorcha manned by Chinese and Portuguese representing themselves as policemen, who robbed a junk off Jardine's of a considerable amount of property.\n\n(21)\n\nCHARLES MAY.\n\nFriday 20th October. Al-Tew states, was in charge of the largest of the two junks; the crew consisted of ten men altogether; there were no passengers. My vessel came from How-tong; we were here about 20 days; we brought salt and live pigs. On the evening of the 19th, Chinese month, about dark, while my boat was lying alongside of a small junk, a small boat came near the junks; I was in the cabin at the time, and heard a cry of thieves from the small junk. I came on deck; did not see the small boat, as it was so dark; the small boat went away; I then returned to the cabin, and did not come out of the cabin until 2 or 3 boats came near the junks; they came about half an hour after the first. I did not hear anything said by the people in these boats; the small junk fired 2 or 3 shots, I think at them; it was very dark at this time; the small boats fired at the small junk. After this a great many boats came; these boats fired at the small junk, and the people in them came on board and threw me and the other men into the boat. My tail was cut off by one of these men.\n\n(22)\n\nEDWARD COHEN sworn, I am an assistant at Messrs Phillips, Moore & Co.'s, in Victoria. On Sunday evening last, I heard firing on the water near our place; did not know what it was at first; but went down to the window below Aequi's in the Lower Bazaar. I saw several shots fired from or at a junk a short distance from the shore. The only expression I could hear was, \"See, a man overboard,\" or \"Here's a man overboard.\" I immediately heard a shot fired. Previous to this there were one or two volleys fired, and I could hear the balls whistling round our house.\n\nE. Cohen.\n\n(23)\n\nROBERT MCKENZIE sworn,—I am a constable; I was left in the boat with Sergeant M'Lean lying off the junks on Sunday night when the men-of-war's boats came, in order to pick up any Chinese we might see in the water. I saw no Chinamen in the water. I was in the boat, and a dog was thrown overboard from the small junk; I was about five or six yards from the junk; the dog was black; a shot was fired at it by a marine—saw his belt—the shot killed it. If there were any Chinamen in the water near the boat, I would have seen them. I heard firing on board the junks; by the sound it was firing down into the holds of the junks; we were then under the bows of the junk. The sampan was looted overboard from the junks either by the marines or sailors. I heard one of the officers tell the men to cease firing—this was after the firing into the hold.\n\n(24)\n\nR. MCKENZIE.\n\nTHURSTAN DALE sworn,—I was with Messrs Devan and Muir, and others on Sunday evening in their boat coming from the Tam o'Shanter; we left the vessel about half-past six in the evening; our boat, the wind being strong, came within about ten yards of two junks; we had to go past them to get ashore; the men in the junks made a noise; it sounded to me not as if they were pulling up their anchor or anything of that kind but seemed as if they meant it for us to keep off; that at least was my impression, although I did not know the language. One of our boatmen replied to the junk people; there was then a shout, or hurrah, from some of the party in the boat—I was in one, two, or three, may have joined in the shout; boatmen did not join in the shout.\n\nAfter this the junkmen I think called out something, after which a stone struck one boat. We then pulled ahead of the junks, and Mr Bevan wished to go on board the junks, to see what the stone was thrown for; He took hold of the boat's tiller, and put the boat's head towards the junks. The boatmen refused to go; I said it was no use—that it was better to come ashore. While this was going on, several stones were thrown at the boat; I don't remember that any of the stones struck our boat. We then came ashore, and I came up to the Police Office with Messrs Muir and Roose. I went down afterwards to my boat to see what the Police boats did; I waited for some time, did not see any of them, and came away and went home.\n\nExamined by Mr Morison.—The discussion that took place between Mr Bevan and myself about his going on board the junks was sufficiently loud for the junkmen to hear.\n\nTHURSTAN DALE.\n\n(25)\n\n[Lie-kip-ty, and Che-yeuk, both sworn in as interpreters, they having a knowledge of the Tin-chien dialect.]\n\nPoon-Chow sworn—I am a Lukong. On Sunday evening last some gentlemen came and made a report at the Police Station. I went with them and the police in the boat; Mr Ryan told me to go and tell the Captain of the junk to come up to the Station, to see why stones were thrown at the gentlemen. I went in the boat about thirty feet from the junk—this was about 7 o'clock in the evening, and spoke to them in Chinese [Here the witness was asked to say in Chinese what he said to the junkmen. The witness's answer was rendered in English by the two interpreters,\n\n\"Friend, I got something to say: I wish the Captain to come Ashore.\" (The original words were spoken in the Pokéen dialect) Further he said, \"This is a mandarin boat come to talk to him; and not to be afraid\" (This was also said in Fokeen. When I first spoke to the junkmen, I was as far from them as this is from Mr Holdforth's house (a distance of about two hundred feet.) [The witness here corrects himself, and says this was in reference to his second visit to these junks.] The junkmen the first time did not say anything to me; they then threw stones at us. First when I went, there was not much wind. [The witness is asked to point out, if he can, the distance he was at from the junks when he first spoke to them; and he points to a house distant about fifty yards.] then returned to No. 1 Station, and waited there. I went again in the Police-boat to the junks; and stood about a 100 feet from them. At this time there was not much wind; I do not know in what direction it was blowing. I spoke again to the junkmen this second time the same as I did on the first occasion. The people in the junk said to me, not to come near; if we did, they would fire. They said nothing else to me; I said no more to them, and then came ashore. They threw stones at us; none of them struck the boat. The first time stones were thrown—that is, when I went in the first boat—some of the stones struck the boat, and some of the crew were struck. I then came on shore, and waited in the boat. When Messrs May and Caldwell came, I went back in the boat again to the junks; Mr May's boat was first, next to the junks; I was in Mr Ryan's boat. I did not on this occasion speak to the junks; I do not know if anything was said in the other boats. At this time, the boat I was in was 16 or 18 feet from Mr May's boat and Mr Caldwell's boat was between us; I did not hear anything said from Mr Caldwell's or Mr May's boat to the junkmen. It was then blowing hard; there was no interpreter in Mr May's boat; we were then about 400 feet from the junks; they were making a noise on both the junks. The only words I heard were \"Kuk-chang p'la,\" which means \"Take gun and fire.\" My boat was close to Mr Caldwell during all this time; anything that was said by the junkmen I must have heard as well as Mr Caldwell. Each boat had a light, which they shewed to the junk. I then heard shots fired from the outward junk—they only fired at Mr May's boat; the boat I was in then fired. After the shots were fired, the junkmen said nothing to the Police. I then retired, and Mr May told us to wait until he went to the man-of-war; Mr May did not tell us to do anything while he was away, but to wait. Nothing was said either from Mr Caldwell's boat or the one I was in to the junkmen while Mr May was away, nor was anything said to the junkmen until the men-of-war's men fired. I did not go on board the junks until the sailors of the men-of-war left them.\n\n(26)\n\nKoo-CAP sworn.—By Mr Cairns—I never was in Hongkong before. I belong to the small junk. By Mr Shurtrede,—[The words which Poon-chow stated he used on Sunday evening to the junkmen he now repeats in presence of Koo-cap, who being asked through the interpreter, says \"I never heard these words before\" and being asked the meaning of the words, he says, they mean \"Friend, is the Captain on board?\"\n\n(27)\n\nWILLIAM PEDDER sworn,—I am the Harbour Master of Victoria, and Marine Magistrate.\n\nExamined by Mr Shortrede.—Do you recognise this Proclamation, (producing a Proclamation in Chinese, initialed by the Coroner.)—I fancy I do from the Stamp; it bears the Seal of the Marine Magistrate's Office. I do not read Chinese or understand it.\n\nDo you know the import of the Proclamation?—I think I do.\n\nCan you tell its import?—Yes; it is a proclamation from His Excellency the late Governor of Hongkong to all trading junks anchoring in the Harbour.\n\nFrom whom did you receive instructions to issue this proclamation?—From Mr Shelley for the Colonial Secretary, by letter dated 28th May 1846. I hold in my hand the letter I allude to; I produce the letter handed in the letter, which, at the request of the jury is read; as also the copy of the Proclamation accompanying that letter, the copies are annexed] Examined by the Coroner.—I distributed these Eighteen Copies of the Proclamation. After they were all gone I obtained more from Mr Gutzlaff the Chinese Secretary, by whom I presume they were originally prepared. I went on board the junks myself when I distributed them. I was requested to make them public, and left some copies at the Hong where the junkmen frequent, as also gave some to persons who traded with them; and made it as generally known as possible. I had it explained to the junkmen if people molested them, to secure them and bring them to me, or the Chief Magistrate, but not to hurt them.\n\nBy Mr Shortrede.—Has any subsequent proclamation upon this subject been issued to the junkmen by you?—No. I may add that it was the habit of boarding junks to ascertain if they have been molested by any body. My Chinese boatmen interpreted for me; I cannot say they were understood, but I should think they were, as the junkmen always seemed pleased.—I do not think I went on board either of these two junks in question.—On my visits to the junks I never heard any complaints.\n\nWILLIAM PEDDER.\n\nColonial Office, Victoria, Hongkong, 28th May, 1846.\n\nSIR, I am directed by His Excellency the Governor to transmit to you 18 Copies of the Chinese Translation of the enclosed Proclamation, and to request your compliance with the instructions therein contained, by occasionally boarding and furnishing each junk anchoring in this harbour with a copy of the same, for the information of the Masters and Crews. A few Copies should be posted up for general information.\n\nI have the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant,\n\nA. F. SHELLEY,\n\nfor the Colonial Secretary.\n\nLieut. W. PEDDER, R.N., Harbour Master.\n\n(True Copy,)\n\nWILLIAM PEDDER, Harbour Master, Marine Magistrate.\n\nHis Excellency the Governor directs, that the Harbour Master board all trading junks on their anchoring in the Harbour, and that a proclamation be issued to the following effect, and communicated to the masters and crews thereof:\n\nThat the port of Victoria is open to all junks and vessels without any anchorage fees or other dues; that they are at liberty to stay in it as long as they choose, and to depart when they like, without any molestation.\n\nThat the crews and passengers are at full liberty to communicate with the shore, and to deal in all articles with any person whom they may choose; but that they are not to buy Opium in a smaller quantity than one chest from any one but the Retail Dealer licensed by the Government. When they buy a chest of Opium, or any larger quantity, they may purchase it from any person.\n\nThat no person except the Harbour Master can board a junk or vessel without the consent of the master, unless he is armed with a warrant and accompanied by a constable.\n\nThat all complaints against persons unlawfully boarding or molesting vessels are to be made to the Harbour Master or the Chief Magistrate; and that the attempts of persons to extort money, or represent themselves falsely as possessing exclusive privileges of trade, and thereby interfere with the freedom of the port, are contrary to His Excellency's orders, and will be visited with severe punishment on being duly represented to the authorities above mentioned.\n\nColonial Office, Victoria.\n\nHongkong, 23d May, 1846.\n\n(28)\n\nJAMES LEGGE sworn,—I am a Doctor of Divinity, and attached to the London Missionary Society.\n\nExamined by Mr Shortrede.—Do you understand Chinese?\n\nCan you read this Proclamation? (producing the one identified by Mr Pedder. Yes.\n\nIs it the same I sent you yesterday?—Yes.\n\nHave you read it over?—Yes, I have done so carefully.\n\nHave you consulted any Chinese who are scholars as to the import of the third Regulation in this Proclamation? I have.\n\nWill you have the goodness to state your interpretation of the third Regulation alluded to, as well as the meaning attached to it by the persons you consulted?—This regulation consists of two parts. The first says the Harbour-master, and persons carrying Warrants, and Policemen, have power to board vessels. The meaning of the second part is not so plain; it was because I could not make it out satisfactorily myself, that I consulted Chinese scholars. Literally, it runs, \"If there be men, and the Captain does not want them to enter the vessel, then he may be able to obstruct and stop them.\" The difficulty lies from the form of the Chinese sentence in determining who are intended by the word \"men.\" I suppose it intended to mean \"other men\"—different from the Harbour-master and others mentioned above; but this is by no means clear, and a Chinese, in my opinion, would rather identify the word \"men\" with the Harbour-master, &c. Seeing the difficulty last night, I consulted a Chinese who at once knows his own and the English languages very well—Tsin-shen, an assistant in our Mission. He took the same view of the intention of the writer as myself, and laughed heartily at the composition. This morning, I consulted two other Chinese as to the meaning. The first is Sew-tsai, (that is, a literary graduate of the first degree,) and was the first in his class when he took the honour at his county examination in the Canton province in 1833. He supposed that the regulation empowered the Captain of the Vessel to resist the Harbour-master, the Warrant-bearers, and the Policemen; at the same time he did not seem to see the connection between the two parts of the regulation. The second person consulted is a respectable Chinese, who can read and write in his own language tolerably well, but makes no pretensions to being a scholar. He interpreted the clause in the same way as the other, and added,—\"So then the Chew-chow (this is the Canton sound of Tib-tchien) men, when they resisted the boats, had right on their side;\" but then he added—\"To be sure, when the boats came in the dark, it was according to regulation to resist them.\" I mention this last remark, because it confirms my own view of the composition of the regulation, that while Chinese naturally interpret it as those two men did, there is still something wanting to make that view of it certain, if it was the intention of the composer to convey that the word \"men\" was to be identified with the Harbour-master, &c. The meaning of this clause is not plain.\n\nJAMES LEGGE.\n\nCHARLES MAY further examined on the 21st,—To the best of my belief I never saw the Chinese notice (the one alluded to by Mr Pedder in his evidence) now exhibited to me, and I am certain I never saw any translation, or any letter of instructions on the subject in accordance with the Colonial Secretary's letter of instructions now read to me. (Here the copy of the letter of 28th May 1846, and instructions, annexed to Mr Pedder's evidence, is read to Mr May.) This is the first intimation I have had of Mr Pedder's instructions as to boarding junks in the Harbour. I know that there is a Police-boat attached to the Registrar General's Office, that daily boards Chinese vessels in the Harbour, under the Registration Ordinance No. 7 of 1846, sec. 2. If anything came to the Registrar General's notice as to any suspicious boats in the Harbour, the Registrar General, as joint Superintendent of Police, would consult with me on it. I did not hear anything about the two junks taken on Sunday evening, until Mr Muir made the charge against them.\n\nCHARLES MAY.\n\n(29)\n\nVERDICT.\n\nAn inquisition indented taken for our Sovereign Lady the Queen, at the House of the Central Police Station situate in Wellington Street, in the Colony of Hongkong, on the sixteenth day of October, in the Year of our Lord 1848, before Norcott D'Esterre Parker, gentleman, the Coroner of our said Lady the Queen for the said Colony, on view of the body of Niu-achiu and U-afon, then and there lying dead, upon the Oath of Andrew Shortrede, Foreman, John Cairns, and John Graham Morison, good and lawful Men of the said Colony, duly chosen, and who, being then and there duly sworn, and charged to inquire for our said lady the Queen, when, how, and by what means the said Niu-achiu and Uafoo came to their deaths, do upon their Oaths say, That U-ufoo and Niu-achiu, Chinese junkmen, came by their deaths between Sunday night and Monday morning the 15th and 16th of October 1848, from gun-shot wounds inflicted by certain seamen and marines unknown, acting under orders of their officers, who were instructed by the Senior Naval Officer on this station to aid the Police in capturing two junks anchored in-shore in the Harbour of Hongkong, the crews of which junks had been alarmed by boats coming alongside after nightfall, and resisted the authorities and others, under the impression that they were thieves; and such resistance as was offered on this occasion appears to the Jury to have been justified by the necessity for trading junks protecting themselves from being boarded by strangers and pretended policemen, as well as by the existing regulations of the Hongkong Government, issued to junks anchoring in the Harbour.\n\nThe Jury have considered it to be their duty to pursue the inquiry into several matters not immediately connected with the deaths of these two men, but the investigation of which may tend to prevent the recurrence of such disasters, and seems of importance to the reputation and prosperity of the Colony.\n\nIn witness whereof, as well the said Coroner as the said Jury have hereunto set their hands and seals this 21st day of October 1848, the day to which the Inquest was finally adjourned.\n\nN.

G. BONHAM.\n\nTo the Honorable DAVID JARDINE, Esq.\n\nWILKINSON DENT, Esq.\n\nC. J. F. STUART, Esq.\n\nGEORGE LYALL, Esq., and others.\n\n16777/52\n\nPage 240\n\nFarwell Address of the CHINESE INHABITANTS of Victoria to His Excellency Sir GEORGE BONHAM, K.C.B., on the occasion of his departure for England, March 29, 1852.\n\n(Translation)\n\nYour petitioners, Shopkeepers, and Inhabitants of the Town of Victoria, and their representatives, Tong-shin, of Sheung-shui, Fong-wing, of Tai-ping-san, and Sung-king, of Cheung-sha-wan and Ha-tung, respectfully present this unanimous address to express their sincere wish to see Your Excellency return soon to your high position as Governor of this Colony, that they may once more look up to, and be in your precious presence.\n\nYour Petitioners call to mind with sentiments of the highest respect, the utility and benevolence that have ever characterised Your Excellency's administration since your arrival at the Colony—a benevolence that has never failed to seek out and relieve the secret griefs of every private individual, and wisdom, that has resulted in the marked improvement of the scale of our military defences.\n\nThey contemplate with rare gratitude the power that has undeservedly protected them, and congratulate themselves on the happy fortune that finds blessed tie with Your Excellency's overshadowing presence.\n\nThey ascribe the quiet existence they have passed in the undisturbed pursuit of their several vocations, wholly and entirely to Your Excellency's boundless benevolence.\n\nYour Petitioners have learnt with sentiments of deep reverence that Your Excellency is on the point of returning to England to be aired into the August Presence of Her Most Gracious Majesty: and while songs of eulogy resound throughout the Colony, every heart throbs with the assurance that Your Excellency will be gratified by a friendly and warm-hearted reception at the hands of Your Sovereign.\n\nYour Petitioners would contemplate with heartfelt awe that ability and intrepidity of character, the springs of which lie so deeply hid in Your Excellency's breast, and they would dwell with respect upon that purity and uprightness of soul, the fame of which has earned far beyond the seas.\n\nNow happily overshadowed by the clouds of Your Excellency's presence, Your Petitioners may look up and aspire, although unable to approach; ere long, however, deprived of Your Excellency's life-giving influence, it will only remain for them to dwell upon it in memory with ceaseless Affection and respect—it will be out of their power to divine when that happy day will come on which the fluttering of Your Excellency's gay streamers in the breeze, will indicate your longed-for return, and encourage them once again to trust themselves to the guiding star of their existence, and to bask in the sun of their day.\n\nBlest by sentiments of the deepest gratitude, Your Petitioners will feel it a privilege to escort Your Excellency's departing car, with heads bowed in the dust, and entreat Your Excellency to return in safety.\n\nWould that Your Excellency were not about to leave us? Would you please be persuaded in your rich benevolence to turn again, and come once more amongst us, that we might be again refreshed by your glorious presence, and once more overshadowed by your gracious protection? Now deeply and sincerely Your Petitioners desire it!\n\nYour Petitioners address this respectful petition, wishing Your Excellency peace and prosperity.\n\nTo His Excellency\n\nSIR GEORGE BONHAM, K.C.B.,\n\nHer Britannic Majesty's Plenipotentiary and Superintendent of British Trade in China, and Governor of Hongkong and its Dependencies.\n\n(Signed and sealed by 60 Individuals and Firms)\n\nWIL. MANWARING, Translated by\n\nChinese Secretary.\n\nMar. 1852\n\nReply of His Excellency Sir George Bonham, K.C.B.,\n\nto the Farewell Address of the Chinese Inhabitants of Victoria.\n\nHer Majesty's Plenipotentiary has been much gratified by the handsome and feeling address just presented to him by the Chinese Shopkeepers and Inhabitants of Hongkong, and he is rejoiced to find it is so much peace and prosperity prevail, and that they have enjoyed such freedom from all molestation.\n\nHer Majesty's Plenipotentiary heartily sympathises with the petitioners in the severe trials which so many of them have lately undergone, and he congratulates them on their present recovery from the effects of the fire through the exertions of the more influential among their body.\n\nHer Majesty's Plenipotentiary now leaves them in the sanguine hope that they will soon again enjoy their former peace and prosperity, and that on his return, he shall find the Colony in a flourishing and prosperous condition.\n\nGOVERNMENT HOUSE,\n\n30th March, 1852.\n\nPage 241", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-039 - Sir Bonham - 1852 [1-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 234968, "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": "CO129-047 - Sir Bowring and Lieut Governor Caine - 1854 [8-12]", "page_number": 7, "title": "CO129-047 - Sir Bowring and Lieut Governor Caine - 1854 [8-12]", "content_text": "Page ...\n\n... of ...\n\nthe Bishop's Statement as to the Change of ruling the Vicariate Sunday be Mine, then in end of the case.

Jardine, Matheson & Co.'s office and godowns; and they seemed to have had a good many friends who cried out sufficiently loudly on the injustice of condemning innocent men to death to induce Sir John Bowring to give the men a second trial before himself and the Executive Council.\n\nAfter a lengthened examination of witnesses during two days, we are informed by eye witnesses that the guilt of the men was, if anything, made more apparent.\n\nThe Governor has, however, in deference to popular clamor, seen fit to remit the punishment of death.\n\nBoth in the new trial and in the commutation of punishment, Sir John Bowring has acted in an exceedingly improper manner.\n\nHer Majesty has instituted an Order of Valor to be called the \"Victoria Cross,\" which is only to be conferred during acts of signal bravery before the enemy.\n\nAs to the trial, we have said that we have been informed by eye witnesses that the guilt of the men was, if anything, made more apparent.\n\nThe fire on board the Fiery Cross made such speedy work with the coin that Captain Thoms has to regret the loss of the whole of his cabin furniture and clothes.\n\nThe mail to 11th February is very strong as to the peace congress in Paris, and that is the sum of the news--all else is \"leather and prunella.\"\n\nThe Levant, of 382 tons, for Australia, formerly an American (U. S.) vessel but now flying the Hawaiian flag, was seized by orders of Sir James Stirling for a breach of the Chinese Passenger Act.\n\nThe offence committed is that she had not the requisite papers from the Emigration Officer.\n\nIf she had 320 passengers on board, as stated, she also committed a breach in carrying an excess of passengers.\n\nBut, in addition, she has no ship's papers--all of which, or even two of which, may be considered a good ground for proceeding to the utmost extremity of the law--forfeiture of the ship, and fine and imprisonment of the parties engaged.\n\nBut then arises the question--What are the passengers to do?\n\nWe have heard it stated that the charterer, or owner, or whatever character he holds, has received from 30,000 to 35,000 dollars for passage money, while it is asserted that the value of the ship at the outside is not 10,000.\n\nIt is not an agreeable position for the government to find themselves in, having deprived 320 men of their passage of the value of 30,000 say, and to find themselves with only 10,000 towards reinstating the unfortunate wretches in their former position.\n\nIt looks to us as if the \"Chinese Passenger Act\" is bad, or that it is badly administered; perhaps a little of both, but most likely more of the latter.\n\nIn the first place, the supervision of the ship is not compulsory on the part of the Government.\n\nSecondly, it is only to begin on the application of the Captain to the Emigration Officer.\n\nWas it not advisable to have interfered earlier?\n\nWe desire the death of no man, but so long as the statute book affixes death as the punishment of the highest order of crimes, so long ought these crimes to be punished with death.\n\nAnd we know no greater crime than that of armed gang robbery, where the life of the defenders of property is taken.\n\nIn the case of the Levant, the vessel came into harbor on 16th March, was laid on for passengers, and even when seized on the 23rd ultimo, had been given to the Emigration Officer.\n\nPROCLAMATION.\n\nJOHN BOWRING.\n\nGovernor and Commander-in-Chief of the Colony of Hongkong and its Dependencies, and Vice-Admiral of the same.\n\nThe Sentence of Death recorded against Wong-AKUT, convicted of murder at the last Criminal Session of the Supreme Court, is commuted to that of Transportation for Life; the Sentence of Death passed on Chan-Wah-Kong, Tam-Kut-Heng, Lo-Ah, Cha-Anboon, and Luk-AuH, also convicted at the above Sessions of the same crime, is commuted to that of Transportation for Life; and a Free Pardon is granted to Tam-AKUT, similarly convicted on the same occasion.\n\nBy His Excellency's Command\n\nW.

A. C. Maclean, E. Pereira, W. Scott, R. Kienaecker, R. C. Antrobus, F. H. Block, J. Tate for W. H. Wardley & Co., D. Lapraik, Y. J. Murrow, H. Anthon, W. T. Bridges, E. Cohen, C. Weiss, W.

Beval.\n\nAt the motion of Mr. Maclean, seconded by Mr. Antrobus, Mr. Leslie was called to the chair.\n\nThe chairman read an extract from the Government Gazette of 10th November, relative to a project entertained by Government for the formation of the Praya from the Parade Ground to Possession Point along the seaward front of the Town, and stated that in consequence of this notification, the present meeting had convened in order to elicit the sentiments of holders of Marine Lots with regard to the proposed measure.\n\nThe notice calling the meeting was read. Mr. Pereira reviewed the principal features of the Government scheme, pointing out that the holders of Marine Lots would thereby be called upon to fill in ground to a very distant line from their present sea wall, solely at their own expense, and against their inclination in many instances.\n\nThat in one case the renter of a Marine Lot would be required to fill in nearly three times the extent of the Leasehold ground at an expense of $14,000 to $15,000, and to a point where even at low tide the depth of water was very considerable. In the Government Notification it was stated that Holders of Marine Lots had already filled in much Ground without the consent of Government, but he averred that although it might not be recorded, there were some instances in which it had been verbally given, and in every case the filling in had taken place with the tacit compliance of Government. That in front of some Lots, sand and soil had been deposited to a great extent by the drains conveying it from the hills in rainy weather, and that as the water receded the Leaseholders had advanced their sea wall and extended their piers. He admitted that the Leases gave great power to Government as to the resumption of the land demised in those Leases in the event of urgent public necessity, but they contained no stipulation having reference to any other ground than that included in the measurements given while on the other hand they guaranteed a water frontage, which had induced parties to pay more highly for these than for Inland Lots. He considered that Government did not possess the power to exact from the Leaseholders such a vast outlay of capital as the present scheme involved, while moreover it was inadequate and defective as a public measure, and in opposition to the wishes and interests of those most deeply concerned.\n\nMr. Antrobus fully concurred in the views expressed by Mr. Pereira, but thought that one point mentioned in the Gazette was a desirable one, namely a fixed boundary for sea walls, which, however, could be very easily arranged without the construction of a Praya, a measure to which he would willingly give assent if he could discover in it any great public advantage, but he was unable to do so; on the contrary, he considered the project one which would entail very serious expense on individuals, while it destroyed the privacy of Marine Lots, and did away with the advantages which had induced the Leaseholders to pay more highly for a Marine than an Inland Lot.\n\nMr. Maclean, representing absentees, some of whom were Minors, objected to the proposed measure, and expressed a doubt if, in the case of Minors, Trustees would be justified in such an expenditure as would be required. Mr. Rienaecker, as a member of the community protested against the inconvenience suffered by the public in consequence of obstruction at the Government piers caused by adjacent Leaseholders filling in ground and depositing refuse.\n\nThe Chairman remarked that as far as depositing refuse at public piers was concerned, it was by no means the sole act of adjoining Leaseholders, but on the contrary was done by the orders of the Police. That frequent complaints had been made, and that only a very short time ago he had occasion to prefer a charge against a Policeman (in charge of a chain-gang of 4 convicts) for depositing filth and rubbish from the jail at Pedder's Wharf!\n\nMr. Bridges was of opinion that before the meeting came to any decision in the matter it should carefully consider that although the Government had perhaps given a tacit consent to individuals filling in ground, such consent was by no means binding, and that it might also be advantageously borne in mind that Government might attach the land so filled in and charge rent for the same.\n\nMr. Murrow considered the proposition a most liberal one on the part of Government, and pointed out advantages to be derived by the public, which in his opinion far outweighed the small inconvenience which private individuals might suffer by a diminution of the privacy they at present enjoyed. If persons made their houses of business their private residences, they might expect stir and bustle, and if a sea view was desired they might build close to the Praya, and let the houses behind at handsome rents. He pointed out the insufficiency of Godown-room and deep-water wharfs for the increasing trade of the place, and facilities afforded by a Praya in cases of fire. He considered it important as a Police measure, and more so in the event of military movements being required for the protection of the Town, as Troops could be moved with ease and rapidity along the whole sea-frontage, which would be diminished by drawing a straight line in place of a curve. With regard to the right of marine lots, he considered that although these parcels of land were originally granted as Marine Lots, there was no guarantee that they should be continued as such, more especially when such a continuance was inimical to public convenience, and further he considered that if holders of these lots refused to fill up the ground so much required for godowns, it was the duty of Government to take the Land from them, fill in and sell it to others. He concluded by moving the following Resolution,-\n\n\"That this meeting consider it desirable that the Holders of Marine Lots should have some title to the ground they have reclaimed, and conceiving it to be most essential that the proposed sea wall should be a substantial and permanent structure are of opinion that the Government should undertake its construction, the holders of Marine lots filling in to such sea wall. The meeting is further of opinion, as the advantages of the project will accrue to the colony generally and not to the holders of Marine Lots, that the expense of constructing the sea wall should be borne rateably by the whole colony and not by the Marine lot Holders exclusively. This meeting submits that colonial Interest levied on the outlay would become a source of permanent revenue.”\n\nNo one being found to second the motion it was withdrawn.\n\nMr. Antrobus could not subscribe to the doctrine advanced by Mr. Murrow that because Private individuals took a different view from Government of a public measure such as the present, they were liable to have the sea frontage of their marine lots (for which they had paid highly) destroyed by Government filling in and selling ground in front of them. He had already stated that if he could see any great Public advantage to be derived from the formation of a Public road along the sea front, he would not oppose the measure, but he could not discover any such, and as a Police measure he objected to it altogether. If the Praya lately formed to the westward was a specimen of what might be expected, he thought the town was better without it. The Queen's Road being quite sufficient for the traffic of the place.\n\nMr. Duddell wished to know if it had been notified that holders of Marine Lots were to build the sea Wall at their own expense, and was answered in the affirmative by one or two Parties who had made the enquiry of the Surveyor General. He was glad to learn that many were willing to pay a reasonable rent for reclaimed ground, and considered that such being the case Government should certainly build the Wall and make the road at their own expense. However, he thought holders of Marine Lots need not alarm themselves, for he did not believe Government had any intention of carrying out the measure at present, and, looking to the large amount of work to be done in the suburbs of the Town he thought, in about 7 years there might be some leisure to the Surveyor General who had more than enough on his hands now, without undertaking such a stupendous work as the proposed Praya.\n\nMr. Pereira proposed, and Mr. Bowra seconded, the following Resolution.\n\n\"That in the opinion of this Meeting the project for the formation of a Praya (as laid down in the Government Gazette of 10th November last) would be defective and inadequate as a public measure, onerous upon individuals, infringing on the rights of holders of Marine lots, and contrary to the spirit of the Leases,\"\n\nMr. Bridges proposed as an amendment.-\"That the construction of a Praya would be useful and beneficial to the interests of this colony.\"\n\nThis was seconded by Mr. Duddell, but lost by a Majority of 16 to 3.\n\nThe original motion was then put and carried by 18 to 3.\n\nMr. Antrobus proposed \"That a committee be formed consisting of the following Gentlemen,-E. Pereira, J. D. Gibb, R. Sturgis, F. H. Block, W. Bowra, and R. C. Antrobus, to embody the above Resolution in a Memorial to H. E. The Governor, and that they be deputed to wait upon him and to lay more particularly before His Excellency the opinions and views of the Majority of those personally interested in the proposed measure, and respectfully to request that the same may be abandoned.\"\n\nMr. Block seconded this resolution, which was carried Nem con.\n\nWith a vote of thanks to the Chairman, the Meeting was then dissolved.\n\nTHOS.

Mr Brodersen found his authority treated as nil by an act of the Governor, or the Colonial Secretary. Could such things be? For what did we pay this expensive Court.\n\n2-Where was the use of the Institution, if the interests of the mercantile community rested on such a possibility as this? He, the defendant, felt that, as men of business, the Jury must feel the force of every word he said, and, when the time came, he should confidently leave his case in their hands.\n\nAs regarded what had been said by Dr Bridges of the writing in the papers of the 22nd and the 25th of August, viz that it was a distortion of the truth from beginning to \"end,\" he, the defendant would produce men of as good judgment as Dr Bridges, and certainly as truthful, who would certify to the report being fair. As to the style of examination, why it was only an attempt at imitation of Dr. Bridges's own; it was a coarse style he admitted; but his object in adopting it was to give the learned Counsellor an opportunity of tasting a fillip from his own dish. Let those who were in Court at the trial of Tartrani v. Ahlum call to their minds the insults to which he, the defendant, had then been subjected by Dr. Bridges; and that, too, whilst he, the defendant, was performing an act of duty to the public. He should now call his witnesses.\n\nAs the defendant in this case is his own reporter, it will save space by furnishing, before the deposition of each witness, the objects of the examination—printing only so much of the evidence as tends to show how far it proved the point.\n\nAnd as regards the first called, Cheong-Asow, a cousin of the Baker Ahlum, the objects were two—one to rebut Dr. Bridges's assertion at the Police Court that the Thousand dollars taken by him were none of Ahlum's money; the other to show in what state were Ahlum's affairs, both when arrested and when released.\n\nCheong-Asow's evidence on the first point was even more satisfactory than was anticipated. Of the thousand dollars paid to Dr Bridges, Cheong-Ahlum had repaid Asow Eight hundred; and as regarded the second, though Ahlum was worth several tens of thousands of dollars when he went into gaol—at least $30,000—when he came out he had not enough to pay the balance of the $1,000 lent as above stated; in a word, he was not worth $200.\n\nThe next witness, Tam Achoey, was called to show how true was Dr Bridges's assertion at the Police Court that the thousand dollars were taken to him by Tam Achoey and others; by which it had to be inferred that the money was none of Ahlum's, but had been subscribed by some Chinese to obtain their friend's release.\n\nTam-Achoey's evidence was distinctly corroborative of Cheong-Asow's. \"He never took Dr Bridges a farthing—never contributed a cent toward Ahlum's defence expenses.\"\n\nThe next three witnesses called were, Messrs Cohen, Brodersen, and Drinker, to afford the Jury some idea of the mode in which Ahlum's Estate was placed. Mr Drinker having business could not appear, but he furnished the defendant with a receipt by the Sheriff for $1,100, the price of bread handed to a contract; also a statement to the effect that when this money was attached by the Sheriff, desire was expressed before payment to detain out of it a sum due by Ahlum to Thomas Hunt & Co.; and that only on the Sheriff's guarantee that Ahlum was solvent, and would afterward satisfy T. Hunt & Co., was the money given up.\n\nMr Cohen stated that Ahlum owed Phillips Moore & Co. some $1,200.—That after Ahlum was arrested on the prison charge they commenced their suit;—that judgment went by default, and they obtained their money from the Sheriff out of funds of Ahlum's which that officer attached. Several other parties obtained payment by pursuing a similar course.\n\nMr Brodersen said, of $13,600, the gross amount of suits instituted by the firm of Pustau & Co. against Ahlum, $12,000 was for Promissory Notes given by him, for which value had not been received. (And yet Dr. Bridges advised Ahlum to let judgment on these very promissory notes go by default!) He, Mr Brodersen, knew very little about the matter; the Promissory Notes came into the hands of the firm in the ordinary course of business.\n\nMr Huffun, the Judge's Clerk, testified to the truth of the report of proceedings in Court on the 28th of January, as referred to by the defendant in his address.\n\nThe Clerk of the Councils being sick, and in Macao, and his locum tenens knowing nothing, His Excellency the Governor was summoned to testify regarding the warrant issued under his hand, and as to the non-repeal of Ordinance No.3 of 1853—but His Excellency stood on privilege and did not attend.\n\nMr Collins, Clerk to the Police Magistrates, Mr Walker J.P., and Mr Limond J.P. were summoned to furnish information regarding the alteration in the Gaol regulations, owing to which alteration the power of Government was taken from the Sheriff and vested in a Governor. Mr Walker said he was not aware of the extent of the alterations—no copy of the new regulations had been given to him—Should consider the taking the power of government from the Sheriff and placing it in the hands of another person as the alteration of a fundamental principle—not such a modification as Justices are authorized in making.\n\nThe only civilian likely to have held a disinterested opinion at the Police Court on the day of the examination referred to by Dr. Bridges in his evidence on the defendant's report, viz, that it was a distortion of the truth &c., was subpoenaed—and for some time was in attendance at Court. He had left, however, when called, and the only other witness subpoenaed, Mr Jarman, Inspector of Police, testified thus: \"The reports, to the best of my recollection, are fair and truthful.\"\n\nCross-examined by the Acting Attorney General: \"I did not hear the whole of the proceedings—I did not hear that part—I cannot testify to the whole—I heard Dr. Bridges say he had had none of Ahlum's money—he had had no money from 'Ahlum.'\"\n\nMr Day handed in a memo of fees obtained by him for managing Ahlum's case. The amount was $485. When he undertook Ahlum's defence, he had no idea Dr. Bridges would be retained. Dr. Bridges took precedence of him in management of the case by reason of seniority at the Bar.\n\nCharles May, Esq., Acting Sheriff and Assistant Magistrate of Police, after replying to preliminary questions by the defendant, volunteered a statement to the following effect: \"At the close of the trial of Ahlum and the nine other prisoners in February last, I received a letter from the Colonial Secretary instructing me to detain them, the acquitted men, as characters dangerous to the peace; and in my capacity as a Justice of the Peace, I issued a warrant for their commitment. Under that warrant they were sent to gaol.\n\nIn cases where Prisoners are released on bail, the practice is for the Committing Magistrate to receive the recognizance. On the 30th of July, Mr Inglis came to me with a letter addressed to him as Governor of the Gaol, instructing him, if there was no civil process against Ahlum within twenty-four hours after its receipt, and certain recognizances were given, to let him go. I did not see that the letter gave him any instructions to receive the bail, and acted on this, the recognizance would be executed before me according to custom. I told him I held a writ against Ahlum, but that some difficulty existed in serving it, because he was detained on the criminal side. If he could be removed to the civil side, I was prepared to arrest him at once. He replied he had no instructions to move him to the civil side, and could not do so. I then said I would arrest him the following morning. If I found I could not arrest him, I would let him know. The writ was for $3,500. Ahlum, being on the criminal side, I did not know how to serve it. The same difficulty existed at this time as did at the time of the issuing of the writ.\n\nThe next I heard of the matter was from Dr. Bridges. He came into the Police Court and told me Ahlum was gone, and asked how was it? I could scarcely credit the intelligence, and felt very much astonished. I feared for the consequences of not having put the writ I held in suit. On looking again at it, however, I found the time had run out, and that I was safe.\"\n\nQuestioned by the Defendant: \"Had Mr Cooper Turner put in a detainer on account of my judgment against Ahlum—would it have detained him?—Answer: No, it would not—it would have shared the same fate as the writ.\"\n\nThe defendant hereupon remarked that he regretted to observe his Lordship the Chief Justice was taking no note of this important evidence. \"Court: Have it all in my memory—it is nothing to do with the libel.\"\n\nDefendant: \"My Lord—this is my justification. Surely something was wrong here—it was certainly necessary for me to write as I did—it was a duty.\"\n\nCourt: \"It has nothing to do with the libel.\"\n\nThe only other witness called was Mr N.R. Masson, Acting Registrar, who was requested to state what would have been the amount allowed for Ahlum's defence had Ahlum gone through the Insolvent Court—and if the amount paid had been disputed. But here the defendant readily admits he miserably failed. Mr Mason was a taxing officer only. If the defendant wanted to know how much would be allowed, he must first show how much work had been done. To this, the defendant responded that that was impossible—though had Ahlum gone through the Insolvent Court, the facts might have been got at.\n\nBut he, the defendant, would take every fee in the schedule allowable to Counsel—and he would pay, say, for three retainers—three fees to leading Counsel at trial—three conferences—three motions for leave and three motions of course—three other motions—three referees—and three days of extra attendance—well—the aggregate of all these triplicates was under half of a thousand dollars. Even Mr Day charged—and that gentleman having been retained as sole counsel charged as such, as a matter of course—even those untaxed, were less than half of a thousand dollars. To all this, Mr Masson replied: \"Dr. Bridges might charge as much as he pleased,\" and in this, the Court coincided.\n\nIt was close upon seven o'clock, the lamps of the Court were lit on the hot night of a Hongkong August, and the defendant felt satisfied—every one else in Court, too, must have felt satisfied.\n\n## \nIn summing up, His Lordship gave more credence to Dr. Bridges's than to Mr Jarman's evidence on this head. We did not cavil. We felt that with the Hongkong public, our character for truthfulness might be safely pitted against that of Dr. Bridges, any day—His Lordship's apparent opinion to the contrary notwithstanding.\n\n...that the ablest advocate at the bar would only fail in any attempt to prevent the Chief Justice from directing the Jury to find a libel. It was under such circumstances, without any offer of time to go over the evidence, the defendant was called on to finish his defence; and, briefly, he pointed out to the Jury that the great fact still remained unanswered by the prosecution—that Colonial Ordinance 3 of 1853, vesting sole government of the Gaol in the Sheriff, remained unrepealed; that whatever the Sheriff understood on the point, it was clear as clear could be—the release of Ahlum was contrary to the usual course. Mr Inglis, neither as a Justice of the Peace nor in any other capacity, had authority to treat the Sheriff's power as a nullity. The assertion by the Sheriff that even had the defendant's detainer been in, Ahlum would have got out all the same, was a fact evincing the absolute necessity for the step he, the defendant, took in eliciting an investigation.\n\nAgain, he urged the Jury not to let the imputation obtain that he had acted from personal, selfish motive;—again, he asked how they would have felt had they been similarly situated, and whether they would not have been aggrieved had the opportunity to investigate Ahlum's accounts in the Insolvent Court been debarred to them;—and, finally, he drew attention to the very important fact that that which, as a rule, is generally deemed the chief ingredient in a libel action, viz, Malice—had not been charged.—Not a word had been said of Malice.—Why? Because it was impossible to show but that he, the defendant, had been actuated by the purest motives—a desire for the public good.\n\nContrast this with the animus of the complainant—Look at the style in which he gave his testimony. Bear in mind that singular circumstance—that though he knew that Ahlum was to be released twenty-two days before he was discharged, he kept the intention a secret—it was carefully concealed from public knowledge. That this action had been prompted by malicious motives was clear to all, and so he hoped the Jury would stamp it in the verdict they would give.\n\nThe Chief Justice, at the conclusion of Counsel for Kingsmill's reply, addressing the Jury, said he supposed that at that late hour there was no necessity for going over the evidence. There were, simply, two questions—one was, was the matter charged as a libel a libel?—the other, if a libel, had the defendant justified it?—and—On neither of those would the law exonerate.\n\nThe Jury on this found on instant a verdict of guilty, and the Court proceeded to inflict a fine of One Hundred Pounds, and imprisonment until it was paid.\n\nThe Prisoner's check on the `Oriental Bank Corporation` being accepted for the amount, he was released forthwith, without seeing the walls—and the affair—so far—ended.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-064 - Sir Bowring - 1857 [8-10].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 242229, "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": "CO129-064 - Sir Bowring - 1857 [8-10]", "page_number": 115, "title": "CO129-064 - Sir Bowring - 1857 [8-10]", "content_text": "## \na suggestion of mine, it was determined that 24 hours was discharged, (Bond read) I drew the bond--I notice should be given to the Sheriff, to prevent any have a copy of the proper form in my office. I have re- possibility of mistake. A letter was therefore written peatedly drawn out such bonds. I receive no fees in to the Governor of the Gaol to give the Sheriff notice, such matters. I got no instructions whatever from Dr that if no civil process was issued against Allum be Bridges farther than the letter already produced. I fore the expiry of the 24 hours, Allum was to be received instructions when made a J.P., not to act in discharged. I may explain, that the Sheriff had for- my magisterial capacity in any matter connected with merly the charge of the prisoners, but the powers are the Gaol. The old Gaol Ordinance has been superseded by the New Gaol Regulations. Dr Bridges visited the gaol on the 1st August; he expressed surprise at Allum's release, and asked how the Sheriff had permitted him to go. \n\nThe next I heard of the matter, I believe, was on the 1st of August, when, on visiting the Gaol, as I usually do, the Governor of the Gaol informed me Allum was gone. \n\nI was very much surprised, and immediately crossed over to the Magistracy, where the Sheriff was.\n\n## For the defence.\n\nTAM-ACHOV,-Has spoken to Dr Bridges about Allum. Never was asked by Dr Bridges to bring money-never paid any.\n\nPHILLIP COHEN, Merchant-Have had dealings with Allum. When Allum was arrested, he owed the firm upwards of $1000, I succeeded in obtaining...\n\nF. S. HUFFUM, Clerk to the Chief Justice, questioned as to the correctness of a report in the Friend of China of a discussion before His Lordship about some money found in Allum's iron chest, and which Dr Bridges demanded on behalf of his client said he thought the report was correct.\n\nJ. JARMAN, Inspector of Police,-Was directed to read the report of the execution before the Magistrate. At first he said he thought it correct as far as he could recollect; but on being cross-questioned, said Dr Bridges had given his evidence in an open, straightforward manner-made no attempt to conceal any facts answered every question put to him. Mr Jarman was then told to re-read the report in the Friend of China, and say if that report coincided with what he had just stated about Dr Bridges's manner of giving evidence; he acknowledged it did not, and then wound up by saying he had paid very little attention to what took place in the Magistrate's Court, as he was busy at the time with other matters.\n\nLE-ARROW, I know Cheong Allum, am his cousin. I am Overseer in the Land Office. My salary is $20 a month. I remember the morning when civil actions were pending against him. The Sheriff had nothing to do with Allum criminally, but he was informed that Allum had to enter into bonds. I directed the Sheriff to be informed, because, having been Allum's Counsel, I was afraid that something might be said about my connection with his release. Other prisoners have been in Gaol on suspicion, for whom bonds were taken, some by the Registrar General, some by the Governor of the Gaol. I had nothing to do with the drawing of the securities, nothing whatever further to say to Allum's release. (The Friend of China of 5th August last handed to the witness, who, when asked what part of an article in it he considered libellous, replied,)-I do not exactly know what part to say. It accuses me of dishonesty and abuse of my position, and of being actuated by unworthy motives in ordering Allum's release. (Another paper of 25th July handed to him.)-I see nothing in this directly referring to me, except that it speaks of an exposé, and is alluded to as such in the paper of 5th August. I had no reason to dread any exposure. I received from Allum altogether $1150. In the criminal matter, I was waited upon by Chinese. I did not like the case, and told them if I was to act for Allum, I should charge $1,000, but would have nothing to do with Allum personally in the matter. In the civil cases, I get $150 from Mr Stace, Allum's Solicitor. The $1,000 I got from Allum's friends. I did not get the money myself, but was told by my Comprador it had been paid-I presume by Tam Achoy and Assow, who with 5 or 6 other Chinese had waited on me to ask me to defend Allum. I made a mistake at the Magistrate's Court in saying the sum I got from Mr Stace for account of Allum was between $175 and $225, for on looking at my book I find it was only $150. It was perfectly immaterial to me whether Allum's books appeared in the Insolvent Court or not. I consider I acted wrongly as Colonial Secretary in keeping Allum in gaol for the 22 days it was only to prevent anything like an imputation being cast upon me about his release. (Witness shown the Friend of China of 22nd August, professing to give a report of the examination before Mr Davis, the Chief Magistrate, and also Mr Tarrant's first letter to Mr Labouchere, said)-the report is false-a distortion of the truth from beginning to end. (Cross-questioned by Mr TARRANT.) When I accepted office in February last, I found Allum in jail. He was there on the Governor's warrant. The Sheriff before gave a wrong account of the incarceration, and he is now aware of it; he had forgotten the particulars-we are all liable to make mistakes. New Gaol Regulations have been made by the Justices of the Peace. They did not require to be approved by the Legislative Council, though the Governor has the power of disallowing any alterations. I knew nothing about the discharge of the prisoner, further than I have already stated. The Magistrates follow their own plans in taking bail. Allum was committed under the Governor's warrant, and the Sheriff had nothing to do with him.\n\nANDREW L. INGLIS,-I am Governor of the Gaol, and have been so since the 4th of May in this year. New Gaol Regulations have been made since I became Governor; under these regulations the custody of prisoners is vested in me as Governor. When I took charge of the jail, I found Allum in custody, under a warrant bearing the H. E. Governor's signature and seal. In the month of July (the 8th) I received instructions that I was not to hold Allum longer as a criminal, but I was to keep him in custody in case any civil process should be issued against him (Extract of 8th July from jail-journal read.) The next communication I know of relative to Allum was on the 30th July, when I received a letter directing me to give the Sheriff notice, that if no detainers were lodged against him before the expiry of 24 hours, he would then be discharged by me, on finding security not to return to the colony for five years. I took the letter to the Sheriff, who read it, and said he had something against him, and would arrest him on the morrow. The following day in the forenoon, I received a note from Mr Stace, by the hands of Tam Achoy and another, to say that they would be bail for Allum, and that they had better see Mr Caldwell that he might approve of them as sureties (note read.) I sent the note down to Mr Caldwell, who said both men were valid. I then drew up the bail-bond, had it signed, and there being no detainer lodged by the Sheriff, I discharged Allum according to instructions. (Governor's warrant for Allum's imprisonment read.) I found the warrant on the file when I entered on office. When I joined the Gaol, it was under the charge of the Sheriff until new regulations were framed, vesting all the power in me as Governor. I did not find any security... \n\nCHARLES MAY, Acting Sheriff,-After his examination before the Police Court, I issued a warrant for the detention of Allum under `Ordinance No. 2 of 1857`, because the Attorney General had told the Court that such a step would be taken; I was at that time in charge of the gaol in the absence of Mr Mitchell the Sheriff. When a prisoner is liberated on bail, it is the custom here to submit the bond for the inspection of the Committing Magistrate. This is not necessary, but it is the custom here; any Justice will do as well. Mr Inglis brought the letter of instructions to me while I was on the bench. I said there was a difficulty in my arresting Allum while on the Criminal side of the jail, but if he would transfer him to the Civil side I would arrest him. He replied he had no such instructions. I said I would let him know in the morning; I did not do so. The next I heard of Allum was from the Acting Colonial Secretary, on the 1st August; I could scarcely believe him when he said Allum was discharged, and went over to the jail to enquire. On examining the writ in my hands, I found the date had expired, and therefore the onus was removed from my shoulders. I was astonished at Allum's release, having expected that the surety bond would be first submitted to me, If a writ had been put in on the 31st, the same objection to serving it would have been taken.\n\nJOHN DAY, I acted as Counsel for Allum-I was retained by Gaskell & Brown, and they paid me my fees. I was retained two days after the poisoning. My fees amounted to $484. I was junior Counsel.\n\nJOZE D'ALMADA, Acting Clerk of Councils,—(Asked whether the old Gaol Ordinance had been repealed, replied,)-I am not permitted to state anything that takes place in the Council.\n\nR. S. WALKER, J.P.-New Gaol Regulations were made a short time ago. There were two meetings of the Justices on the subject. I was present at one.\n\nJAMES COLLINS, Clerk to the Chief Magistrate,—I sent round the Circulars, calling a meeting of the J.P. to consider the New Gaol Regulations. (Produces both circulars.)\n\nD. MASSON, Acting Registrar of the Court,-I am the officer appointed to tax bills of costs. Can't say anything about Dr Bridges' charges unless you can shew me what work he performed.\n\n(Here the **CHIEF JUSTICE** endeavoured to make Mr Tarrant understand, that a client might pay his Counsel or Solicitor any sum he pleased $1,000 or $100,000—with that the Court had nothing to do. The Ordinance for Fees and Costs merely referred to cases in which a losing party had to pay the costs on both sides, in which case he had a right to demand that the opposing lawyer's bill should be taxed.)\n\n## \n(Copy) W. 730.\n\n**Sir,**\n\nIn `18...` \n**Colonial Secretary's office; Victoria, Hong Kong, 12th August, 1857.**\n\nWith reference to the letter addressed to the Right Honorable The Secretary of State for the Colonies by Mr. W.

Chisholm Anstey, Attorney General, Counsel for the defendant, addressed the Court, as follows,\n\nor March, as nearly as possible. 7th Why he did not, before the end of June, inform the Legislative Council that the documents had been destroyed, and that the production of them, therefore, which had been demanded, again and again, could not take place. 8th If destroyed, what were the contents of those documents, and how far they affected Mr Caldwell or any other officer of Government. Lastly a full, true and complete account of the proceedings.\n\nMr Green. Sir John Bowring is as much bound not to reveal what took place in the Council as the Colonial Secretary or any other public servant.\n\nwith others, to the said Government against Daniel Richard Caldwell, Esquire, Registrar General of the Colony and submitted to the investigation of a Commission appointed for that purpose by Sir John Bowring, the Governor of the said Colony, and which said charge might have been satisfactorily proved before the said Commission, but for the interference of the said Government to prevent the Crown.\n\n(This report is from the shorthand notes taken for the Crown by Mr Weatherhead, Acting Deputy Registrar.)\n\nMy LORD, Some material witnesses are absent; nevertheless, I am quite ready to go on with the case. It is likely to last two days. Mr Davies writes me that being at Macao he cannot appear before Monday, and though the prosecutors have not condescended to notify us of the matter, I have heard, vaguely, that Dr Chaldecott is prepared to swear that Sir John Bowring is unable to appear in this Court, though quite able to drive out in his carriage and go to other places.\n\nCourt. If you are not in a position to go through with it, the case had better be postponed altogether.\n\nMr Anstey. A murrain appears to have visited all the officers of the Government. Another states that he is laid up with a badly inflamed leg. However, I suppose we must bow to the will of Providence, and submit to a postponement.\n\n'pose that it was not performed after deep meditation, and \"with reference to consequences.”\n\nTRIAL.\n\nMonday, 22nd November, 1858.\n\nFor the Crown. The Hon'ble F. W. Green, Esquire, Acting Attorney General, Mr George Cooper Turner, Crown Solicitor.\n\nFor the Defendant. The Hon'ble Thomas Chisholm Anstey, Esquire, Attorney General, Mr Henry Jefferd Tarrant, Attorney.\n\nSPECIAL JURY.\n\nPatrick Campbell Esq., Manager of the Oriental Bank Corporation, (British). John Costerton Esq., Manager of the Incorporated Mercantile Bank of India, London and China, (British). N. M. Beckwith, Esq., of the firm of Russell & Co., (American). Francis Chomley, Esq., of the firm of Dent & Co., (British). Francis Parker, Esq., of the firm of Augustine Heard & Co., (American). Phillip Cohen, Esq., of the firm of Phillips Moore & Co., (British). Albert Vaucher, Esq., of the firm of Vaucher & Co., (Swiss).\n\nThe Jury being sworn, the Acting Registrar read the INFORMATION.\n\nIN THE SUPREME COURT OF HONGKONG.\n\nThe Eighteenth day of November, One thousand eight hundred and fifty-eight.\n\nHONGKONG TO WIT.\n\nMr Anstey. Sir John Bowring is at perfect liberty to reveal any of the proceedings of Government to all the world, and exercises the power whenever he thinks fit.\n\nCourt. There is no doubt that Sir John Bowring stands in a very different position in that respect from the other officers of Government. The trial must stand over for the present until the parties now unable to appear recover their health. I cannot appoint a day until they are well.\n\nMr Anstey. As we cannot have de bene esse examination in criminal cases, it would be an advantage to take the evidence of such of the witnesses as are now present.\n\nMr Green. Might it not be possible by making certain admissions to dispense with the evidence of Sir John Bowring?\n\nCourt to Mr Anstey. Your's is an application for postponement on account of the absence of material witnesses.\n\nMr Anstey. I propose that we go on with the case as far as we can.\n\n(Signed) FREDK. WM. GREEN.\n\nWilliam Tarrant, take notice that you will be tried on this information at the Criminal Sessions at the Supreme Court to be holden at Victoria in and for the Colony of Hongkong, on the eighteenth day of November in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and fifty-eight, and following days.\n\nA. WEATHERHEAD,\n\nfor the Registrar.\n\nIN THE SUPREME COURT OF HONGKONG.\n\nCriminal Sessions, October, 1858.\n\nThe Queen against William Tarrant.\n\nThe Queen comes into the Court here and charges William Tarrant of the Colony of Hongkong aforesaid, Editor and Proprietor of the Newspaper called the Friend of China, with having, with intent to move the Queen's subjects to hatred and contempt of the Queen's Government in the said Colony, and to cause it to be believed that a certain grave and scandalous charge having been preferred.\n\nMr Anstey being suspended from office was at liberty to act for the defendant.\n\nSECOND PLEA. And for a further plea to the said Information, the said defendant, protesting that he is not guilty as aforesaid, nevertheless, according to the form of the statute in such case provided, says that the said alleged libel in the said Information mentioned was printed and published by him the said defendant, after the passing of the Act of Parliament of the seventh year of the Queen, chapter twenty-six, to wit on the day and year in the said Information mentioned and not otherwise.\n\nDr Chaldecott.—It is impossible for me to fix a date.\n\nMr Anstey.—A week say?\n\nDr Chaldecott.—I should say not, decidedly.\n\nMr Anstey.—Well then, a fortnight perhaps.\n\nDr Chaldecott. It is impossible to say. All I can say is that he is not at present in a fit state to appear in Court.\n\nCourt to Mr Anstey.—What do you wish Sir John Bowring to prove?\n\nMr Anstey. I will state the points required, 1st, I wish to have the documents produced specified in the Subpœna Duces Tecum. 2d All that he knows respecting the receipt of, and the parting with Mr May's memoranda, and the papers respecting Mr Caldwell and Ma-chow Wong on which those memoranda were framed. 3d What took place in the Executive Council respecting these memo. Mr D'Almada having declined to reveal any of the proceedings on the plea of official secrecy. 4th Whether Sir John Bowring knew what became of the memoranda, and the like as to the Ma-chow Wong papers themselves. 5th Whether he gave any and what directions or suggestions respecting the safe keeping or destruction of those documents or any of them. 6th When were those papers destroyed to the best of his belief, whether in May.\n\nMr Anstey. I only want Sir John to give permission to his officers to make the admissions and afford the information required.\n\nCourt. Very well, let it be so.\n\n[Mr Anstey here applies to have the Jury drawn now by the Registrar, so that only those need attend on Monday who would be actually required.]\n\nCourt. They must all appear again on Monday.\n\nMr Anstey. The whole of them?\n\nCourt. Yes.\n\nMr Anstey. I have just been informed by Mr Gibb, whose word no man doubts, that one of the absent witnesses, Mr J. D'Almada, was in Court just now, and present at the very time of my commenting on the circumstance of so many of the Government officers being prevented by illness from attending. I submit that this is a gross contempt of Court, and deserves some notice from your Lordship.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-074 - Lieut.

The knowledge that the former may best be promoted by a removal to a larger circle of duty, affords the only satisfaction that we can derive at the prospect of a termination to that official intercourse with your Excellency, which has throughout your administration, been uniformly so gratifying to us.\n\nF.

F. Chambers, the head of the Hongkong Insurance Company's Volunteer Fire Brigade. About thirty sat down to table, the Members of the Volunteer Brigades appearing in their red and blue shirts. Mr. C. May, head of the Government Fire Brigade, and Messrs. Creagh and Russell, Assistant Superintendents of the same, were among the guests. The chair was taken by Mr. C. C. Cohen and the vice-chair by Mr. McEwen. The Chairman, in proposing the toast of the evening, said that they were about to lose the services of one whom all regarded as a friend, and as a most efficient officer of the Volunteer Brigade, and that Mr. Chambers' departure would cause a loss from which it would be difficult to recover. He was a man who had literally gone through a great amount of fire and water in the service of the Colony, and had never flinched from his duties. There were few companies like the Fire Brigade in which there was not some kind of difficulty, but in theirs there had been none, and this he attributed to the tact and good management of their friend Mr. Chambers. The toast was heartily drunk, and Mr. Chambers, in replying, expressed his sense of the kindness shown to him. He said that his position in the Hongkong Fire Office necessitated his being foreman and he did not lay any other claims to the post, which he felt sure could be as well if not better filled by others. Alluding to the effective powers of the Fire Brigades, he said that there could now be little doubt that they could cope with any fire which might arise in the ordinary way, and the only thing which might cause a difficulty would be an incendiarism, but that, he considered, there was little reason to fear. In conclusion, he heartily acknowledged the cordial manner in which the Government Fire Brigade had always co-operated with the Volunteers, and proposed the health of the Government Volunteers, coupling it with the name of Mr. May, who responded in a humorous speech, in which he said that the chief difference between the members of the Volunteer and the Government Brigade was that people would insist upon paying the latter. He passed a warm compliment upon the guest of the evening, Mr. Chambers, who, he said, had worked with the greatest good feeling and success. Mr. McEwen proposed the health of the Imperial Brigade, who were willing to turn out and work hand in hand whenever there was a danger and whether the Fire Bell rang or not. This toast was responded to by Mr. McLeod, who said that the excellent way in which the companies worked together had not been overstated, and he trusted that this good feeling would long continue.

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

It is our duty, therefore, on the score of gratitude and for the sake of our common humanity, to do what lies in our power for our fellow subjects in Ireland.—(Applause.) I am glad to see that the people of Bombay and other great Indian cities are actively and promptly responding to the appeal on behalf of Ireland, and I trust that the Indians of Hongkong will not prove behindhand in the same good cause.—(Applause.)\n\nThe resolution was carried by acclamation, and His Excellency called upon the Honourable P. RYRIE to move the next resolution.\n\nHonourable P. RYRIE.—Your Excellency, Ladies and Gentlemen, the resolution which has been in my hands is purely a business matter. You are well aware that subscriptions are proposed and everyone is willing to give, but an active working Committee is required to carry the thing out. I have now, ladies and gentlemen, to propose to you a number of names to form that Committee. I am perfectly certain that when you hear the names you will all assent. In electing these gentlemen you elect not only a representative body but gentlemen who will really carry out the object for which we are met to-day, and that is, the collecting of subscriptions for the relief of the distress in Ireland, remitting the money home, and other matters that come within the scope of a Committee's duty. I will now, with your permission, read out the names: His Excellency the Governor, His Excellency the Admiral and Family, Admiral Coori, His Excellency General DONOVAN, His Honour the Chief Justice, Sir JOHN SMAL Adamson, H. H., Honourable W. KESWICK, Honourable No Chor, H. Lowcock, Esquire; H. L. DALRYMPLE, Esquire; Ahmed, H. E. H., F. D. Sassoon, Esquire; E. R. BELILIOS, Esquire; H.

O'BRIEN, M.D., Esquire; ATWELL COXON, Esquire; myself. The two ex-officio members, on whom the bulk of the work will fall, are R. D. STARKE and J. M. d' Castro, Esquire, Honorary Secretary; and T. JACKSON, Esquire, Honorary Treasurer.—(Loud applause.) A. F., I think, ladies and gentlemen, the selection is one that will meet with the approval of you all. I therefore, with the permission of His Excellency, propose that these gentlemen be elected as Committee.\n\nThe COLONIAL SECRETARY said he had great pleasure in seconding the resolution, and he thought the names must meet with general approval.\n\nThe Resolution was carried nem. con.\n\nThe Bishop—Ladies and Gentlemen, I beg to propose a vote of thanks to His Excellency for initiating this movement amongst us. There is a naturalness in its coming from His Excellency, as the country we are interested in at this moment is his own, but in the matter of benevolence we know neither country, nor sect, nor creed.—(Applause.) I am very sure that His Excellency would have been equally forward to initiate a similar movement had it been for any other country, for instance, our own poor country of Scotland, which, as we all know, is very productive of rocks, but is happily not subject to famines.—(Applause.)\n\nThe meeting then terminated.\n\n## SUBSCRIPTION LIST\n\n| Name | Amount |\n| --- | --- |\n| ... | ... |\n| Brought forward | $3,357.10 |\n| Ho Hong | 5.00 |\n| clay | 2.10 |\n| foot, P. | |\n| Barretto, E.

Many articles have been added to the collection, while the interest taken in the Museum by all classes of the community but especially by the Chinese has in no way abated, and the regulations in force as to its management have, so far as the Committee are aware, been satisfactory to all. Considerable correspondence has however passed between the local Government and the Committee with reference to the rules as to admission to the Museum;—His Excellency the Governor being of opinion apparently that if there is any limit as to the hours at which different classes of the community can visit the Museum, the latter cannot be said to be open free. The Committee on the other hand, considering that such rules should be made as would secure a fair opportunity to people of all nationalities of visiting the Museum, and after full consideration adopted the regulations objected to, but have now, after having the benefit of the opinion of the Chief Justice and the Bishop, slightly modified the previous rules. A copy of the new rules will be found in the correspondence published herewith. In order that the public may fully understand what has been done with reference to this matter it has been deemed advisable to attach to this report a copy of all the correspondence that has taken place on the subject between the 19th September 1879 and the 10th August, 1880.\n\nThe number of visitors during the twelve months ending the 30th June 1880 has been 134,551, of whom 118,132 were Chinese.\n\nDuring the same period 36 persons have contributed articles either on loan or as gifts. The following are the names of the contributors: Messrs. J. White, J. Robinson, Joseph Ribeiro, J. Kirkwood, J. C. Hughes, C. Ford, J. B. Ball, P. H. Emanuel, A. Woblters, M. S. Tonnochy, H. H. Nelson, A. Schomburg, G. Rome, T. Hamlin, H. L. Dennys, H. E. Hobson, J. M. Jesus, C. H. Palmer, H. B. Guppy, M.B. R.N., T. I. Bowler, G. O. Rogers, H. Wharton, H. Cohen, Lau Ayau, Wm. McClellan, F. Degenaer, Kyle and Bain, Vass Tomes, C. Seimund, J. Seier, Highterary, Arnold Ellert, E. D. Woodford, Wm. Peterson, and Mrs. D. Palmeira.\n\n(5)\n\n# ACCOUNTS.\n\nAs in former years the funds of the Institution have been materially assisted by subscriptions obtained from the Community. During the last year $680 has been subscribed by Europeans and $847 by the Chinese.\n\nThe fact that no money has been received from the Government since June last year accounts for the present low state of the funds and has of course necessitated the utmost economy in the way of expenditure. On the 30th June, 1880, there was in the hands of the Honorary Treasurer $1,379.39 to the credit of the City Hall, but as on that date a debt of $142.91 due to the estate of Yün Tim was outstanding the actual working balance might be considered to be $936.48.\n\nThe usual premia of Insurance have been duly met during the last year, and no debts of any magnitude, with the exception of $215.92 due for the last half-yearly search for white ants, are now outstanding.\n\nW.

There is nothing now more to be done. The trial was fixed for Tuesday. That was done because of the understanding that you would enter special pleas which would have to be answered.\n\nMr Francis: I am quite ready to take it to-morrow.\n\nThe Chief Justice: Better let it lie over till Tuesday. Better have some little delay, then not so much fighting.

H. E. Dunn was then called, and the Counsel for the defence relieving him from his subpoena he was allowed to sit.\n\nBy consent of both Counsel Dulcineo Alemão, a young Portuguese lad, was released from the box and J. Ritchie was called. He had left the Colony. Mr Maclehose took his place.\n\nMr Hayllar remarked that there was no justification for any statement that Mr Cohen had formed any opinion on the case.\n\nThe jury thus formed stood: Messrs W. Scott, W. Detmers, T. N. Driscoll, G. Ferguson, G. Chape, J. E. Maclehose, and W. E. H. Dunn.\n\nTHE CHARGE AND INFORMATION\n\nThe information we give at length; it was as follows:-\n\n\"At the General Criminal Sessions of the Supreme Court held at Victoria for the month of May, 1880; the Court is informed by the Attorney General on behalf of our Sovereign Lady the Queen that Horace Harrington Nelson at the time of publishing the false, scandalous, malicious and defamatory libel hereafter mentioned was and still is the Manager of a certain Incorporated Banking Company carrying on business under the direction and under the control of a Board of Directors in London under the style of the Chartered Mercantile Bank of India London and China, and having a branch establishment or office amongst other places at Victoria aforesaid whereat the said Horace Harrington Nelson at the time aforesaid and long before held and still holds the office or post, conducted and still conducts the duties of manager;\n\nand that also before and at the aforesaid time one William Jackson was and still is the Acting Chief Manager and Travelling Inspector of the said Banking Company and was inspecting the said Branch office of the said Company in Victoria aforesaid; and that John Pitman, contriving and wickedly, maliciously and unlawfully intending to aggrieve and villify the said Horace Harrington Nelson and to injure him in his good name and fame and in his office or post of Manager of the said Branch establishment of the said Company at Victoria aforesaid and to bring him into scandal, infamy and disgrace with the said William Jackson, and the said Board of Directors, and to cause him to be esteemed and taken to be, by the said William Jackson and the said Board of Directors, a false, scandalous, mischievous, impertinent, corrupt and negligent person and one not fit to be employed by the said Banking Company as such Manager as aforesaid, and to deprive him of the emoluments...\n\nThe Chief Justice read the names of those subpoenaed Mr Cohen, Mr Glover, Mr Mackintosh, Mr Cook, Mr W. E. Dunn, Mr Ritchie—and remarked that it was a sure mode of excluding good men from the Jury.\n\nMr Francis said Mr Cook of the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank had been told that this service would not be required as a witness.\n\nIn reply to the Chief Justice, who asked whether Mr Francis required these papers, Mr Francis said it depended entirely on the line the prosecution took. He explained that, as the strongest possible proof of malice in a libel lay in proving the falsity of the libel, it would be open for Counsel for the prosecution to endeavour to prove such falsity. He was prepared to rebut such evidence and to show that the statements in the alleged libel were true in fact; in that case he would have to call for the production of these books &c.\n\nAfter some conversation Mr Hayllar said he did not intend to call evidence to prove the falsity of the alleged libel; he did not see that he could.\n\nMr Francis: With that assurance I am quite satisfied to go on with case.\n\nMr Hayllar alluded again to the very awkward fact of so many of the jurors being called as witnesses. However a juror could give evidence,\n\nThe Chief Justice quite agreed that Mr Cohen might have preconceived opinions on many subjects,\n\n409", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-192 - Governor Hennessy - 1881 [1-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 308482, "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": "CO129-192 - Governor Hennessy - 1881 [1-4]", "page_number": 472, "title": "CO129-192 - Governor Hennessy - 1881 [1-4]", "content_text": "The Daily Press. HONGKONG, APRIL 11TH, 1881.\n\nPRESENTATION OF AN ADDRESS TO SIR JOHN SMALE.\n\nA public address was presented to Sir John Smale, Chief Justice of Hongkong, at the City Hall, on Saturday afternoon. There was a considerable attendance, but much disappointment was expressed by many who were not present owing to no proper intimation of the holding of the meeting having been made. The attendance included a large proportion of Indians and some Chinese, and most of the European firms were represented by their chief partners.\n\nThe Chief Justice was met at the door of the Hall, by the Hon. P. Ryrie, Hon. W. Keswick, Mr. Justice Snowden, Mr. Hayllar, Q.C., and Messrs. Hoppias, Dalrymple, Belilios, Sassoon, Attonjee, and Braddon, who conducted his Lordship to the platform.\n\nThe address was presented by the Hon. P. RYRIE, who said—Sir John, I experienced much satisfaction when the pleasing duty was allotted to me of presenting to you the numerously signed address which I now hold in my hand and which I shall presently read. It has been my privilege to number you and the members of your family among my friends since the year 1861, and during that time the relations between us have been most cordial. I only regret that they are now to be severed by your departure for England, but I hope they may be renewed in our native country before long. That the departure of yourself and Lady Smale from this colony will be felt as a loss to our social circle, everyone I am sure will agree with me. Yourself and your amiable partner have done much to make residence in this colony agreeable by a most liberal dispensation of hospitality at your own residence and by assisting at our gatherings whether of a private, public, or semi-public character. As a most liberal donor to all charities and a subscriber to educational and missionary movements in this colony you will also be a great loss. In the Legislative Council, I have now been associated with you for fifteen years, and I am therefore able to state how conscientiously you have performed your duties as a member of that body, and as an unofficial member I have a grateful recollection of the manner in which you, from your seat in the Council, supported us, the unofficial members, when bringing forward views for the public benefit. (Hear, hear.) It is true that by an order of the Secretary of State you were debarred from voting save with the Executive, but, notwithstanding that, we on many occasions felt your sympathies were with us. I need not refer here and now to the performance of your duties as Attorney-General and Chief Justice. One gentleman, much more competent than I to form an opinion and more able to express it, addressed you yesterday in the Supreme Court in the name of the members of the legal profession in the Colony. That address I was very glad, and I am sure many here were glad, to read in the newspaper this morning. If you will now permit me, Sir John, I will read this address.—(Applause.)—\n\nThe hon. gentleman then read the address as follows:—\n\nTo the Honourable Sir JOHN SMALE, Knight, Chief Justice of Hongkong.\n\nSIR,—We, the undersigned Residents of Hongkong, desire, upon your approaching departure, to express the high sense we entertain of your public services as Attorney General and Chief Justice successively of this Colony.\n\nTo the administration of these offices you have brought not only high legal attainments, great acumen and a judgment ripened by long experience, but have been still more honourably distinguished by your strong sense of justice and pure sympathy with the right.\n\nMainly dealing, as the Supreme Court has to do, with a population alien to ourselves in race, language, and customs, the duty imposed on you of presiding at trials, both civil and criminal, protracted, and of the highest importance, has been one of exceptional difficulty. Of the success of your administration of the law, facts speak more than words; and in the increasing prosperity of the Colony, in the numbers of persons of various races who daily flock here to seek home or fortune, in the security of life and property, and the diminution of serious crime, will be found the best record of your services.\n\nIn looking back over the many years of your laborious career there is no matter which we feel you must ever contemplate with special pride and gratification. We allude to the attitude you have firmly maintained towards slavery in whatever form and however disguised, and the nefarious trade in women and children so often carried on in this Colony for the most infamous of purposes. The fruition of your work in this direction is not yet complete, but the policy you have done so much to inaugurate and carry out will never cease to be honourably associated with your name.\n\nOf your labours in the Legislative Council, of your connection with various public movements, of the sense of duty you have imported into all your public acts, we can say no better than that they afford a standard for all those who succeed you to be guided by. We now beg to bid you farewell, and finally wishing you a prosperous voyage and the enjoyment, for many tranquil years, of the repose you have so well earned, we subscribe ourselves, your sincere friends.\n\n(Signed)\n\nP.

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

POPE HENNESSY.\n\n## THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 31st JULY, 1880.\n\nin these cases it turned out that if a prisoner expressed a wish to go to Sydney, Brisbane, or any other port of Australia, the practice, Mr. DEANE said, was for the Police to see that man on board the emigrant steamer or ship, and, having seen him safely on board, to make sure, as far as they could, that he left the Colony. I think one witness-not Mr. DEANE, but one of the Inspectors-told the Committee he had seen thirty or forty, at all events a considerable number of the deported criminals, on board one ship.\n\nThe Chief Justice.-What date was this ?\n\nHis Excellency.-This used to go on regularly up to two and a half years ago, when I put a stop to the practice. I recently called for a report from Mr. DEANE upon this subject, and he says-(His Excellency read the report of the Captain Superintendent of Police, to the effect that if a deportee desired to leave for any place to which a steamer ran, he was seen on board by a Constable, who remained until his departure; if he desired to go to any native village to which a passage boat plied, the same course was pursued; if he wished to go to Kowloon City, he was escorted to the boundary and there released). The Committee of which my honourable friend (Mr. RYRI) was a member, not only took the evidence of Mr. DEANE and one of the Inspectors, but in their report they touched upon the subject, and, if I remember rightly, disapproved of the encouragement of the Emigration of Chinese criminals to Australia. However, I have not allowed that, and not one deportee has gone to Australia since my arrival in this Colony.\n\n## Extract from the “Daily Press\" of 24th November, 1879.\n\n### LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL. Hongkong.\n\nA meeting of the Legislative Council was held on 22nd November, 1879. There were present:-----\n\nHis Excellency the Governor, J. POPE HENNESSY, C.M.G. Honourable Sir JOHN SMALE, Chief Justice.\nHonourable W. H. Marsh, Colonial Secretary.\nHonourable J. RUSSELL, Acting Attorney General,\nHonourable M. S. Tonxoguy, Acting Colonial Treasurer.\nHonourable P. Ryrie.\nHonourable W. KESWICK,\n\nOn the Chinese Emigration Ordinance Amendment Bill, His Excellency the Governor said :--- Now, there was another proposed emigration about which I refused to issue my license, and that was the emigration of skilled artizans to Sydney and other parts of Australia, which Messrs. STEVENS & Co. put before me. Some members of my Executive Council appeared to think favourably of this scheme, and we had a good deal of discussion on the subject, but I adhered to the opinion which, on looking at the papers, I had originally formed that I should not relax in any way the rules of this Colony with respect to contract emigration with the object of facilitating the traffic which Messrs. STEVENS & Co. had in view. The idea of sending to Sydney or other parts of Australia a number of skilled Chinese artizans from Hongkong, would, it was pointed out to me, benefit considerably those Chinese who should be so taken, but I had to look to other considerations. I had to consider how far it was desirable for the Governor of this Colony to do anything in the way of relaxing the strict letter of the law so as to facilitate the emigration into Australia of Chinese workmen or labourers, at the very time when it seemed to me that the Governments of Australia were more or less embarrassed by this very question. Accordingly I refused to issue my license, and it happened that six or eight months after some trouble did occur at Sydney with the very steam-ship Company in question, owing to the fact that though I did not give my license in the form they had sought, yet some Chinese were conveyed in another way not in violation of our Ordinances, and the fact of these people arriving in Sydney led to disturbance and caused the local Government no small trouble.\n\nThere was another form of emigration to Sydney, Queensland, and other parts of Australia, against which I set my face in this Colony the moment I saw its possibility, or knew that it had overtaken place. That comes under the category more indeed of another subject recently discussed at this Council,--the deportation of criminals, than under that of emigration properly so called, and it is referred to by Mr. DEANE in his evidence before the Committee on Police and Crime. Mr. DEANE tells the Committee that some of the deportees or criminals who received conditional pardons were sent to Australia. The practice was: in the event of an emigrant ship being about to sail, these Chinese criminals were asked where they would like to go to, because neither the conditional pardon nor the deportation warrant of the Governor recited the place to which the criminal was to be deported; it simply stated in the one case the man was willing to leave the Colony and not to return for life, and in the other case he was ordered to leave and not return for five years, as the case might be.\n\n## POST OFFICE NOTICE.\n\n### Unclaimed Correspondence, 30th July, 1880.\n\n| Name | Letters | Registered Letters | Papers |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Adshood, E. | 1 | | |\n| Ashik, Autlerson, R.

W. H. Marsh, C.M.G., at Government House. The presentation was made by the Hon. P. Ryrie, who was accompanied by upwards of eighty of the signatories, representatives of every class and nationality in the Colony being present.\n\nHon. P. RYRIE, in making the presentation, said—Your Excellency, the pleasing duty has been assigned to me of presenting to you a numerously signed address from the community of this Colony. When I state that this has been a spontaneous movement on the part of all classes in the colony, I state what is absolute fact. I believe that I may be considered the oldest British resident in the Colony, and during the period of my stay here, I have taken part in a good many demonstrations of this kind, and I can truly say that I have never seen more anxiety displayed by its inhabitants to testify by their signatures the feelings they entertained of your high abilities as the head of its executive. (Applause). The address, as you will observe, is numerously signed by all nationalities, but there are still a number of gentlemen anxious to join it who from press of time have not had an opportunity of doing so. With your kind permission their signatures can be appended hereafter. (Applause.) I shall now, with your permission, proceed to read the address:\n\nTo HIS EXCELLENCY THE HONOURABLE WILLIAM HENRY MARSH, C.M.G., THE OFFICER ADMINISTERING THE GOVERNMENT OF HONGKONG, &c., &c., &c.\n\nSIR, We, the undersigned non-official members of the Legislative Council, Justices of the Peace, Members of Professions, Merchants, Bankers, and Residents in Hongkong, desire to convey to Your Excellency on the approaching termination of your Administration of the affairs of the Colony an expression of our esteem and regard as well as of our sense of the admirable and effective manner in which you have discharged the duties of your high position.\n\nThe vigour which has been displayed in every department of your Government, the introduction of numerous measures of useful legislation, and the rapidity with which urgently required public works have been promoted and pushed forward within the short period during which you have held office, make evident to us the eminent capacity for affairs which you possess, while the equal administration of executive authority dispensed by you without fear or favour and with a steadfast regard to the public welfare has inspired all classes of our mixed population with complete confidence in the firmness and justice of your rule.\n\nYou have made Government House the centre of social attraction by the liberal and graceful hospitality which has been accorded to the community.\n\nWe are pleased to learn that the Public Service of the Colony will not be deprived for some time to come of your valuable co-operation and that you will resume your former post as Colonial Secretary. We trust that when you do leave us it will be on the occasion of your appointment to higher office under the Crown to which your long and able public career have so well qualified you.\n\nWith the assurance of our profound respect.

Price, Surveyor-General, to the public letter addressed to him in reference to the recent libel case and published in our columns on Tuesday. The reply is addressed to the Hon. F. B. Johnson, who sent in the public letter :- \n\nPublic Works Department, Hongkong, 18th December, 1883. My dear Sir,—I desire to tender my grateful acknowledgments to you, and through yourself to the large number of gentlemen who have been good enough to address me in the terms of the letter which you forwarded to me yesterday. \n\nConscious that I have never been actuated except by a strict sense of duty in all my official acts during the ten years that I have devoted to the public service of the colony, and that in the administration of the Department with which I have the honour to be connected, I have always endeavoured to do the best for the interests of the public, according to \n\n17 F abilities, whatever these may be worth, it has been very gratifying to me to find that \n\nso important a portion of my fellow colonists should have given no credence to the imputations of unworthy motives so persistently made \n\nby private malice in connection with nearly every act of my official life, and that their confidence in my personal character and in my ability to continue usefully serving the colony, should have remained unshaken. It is a great honour to a Government servant to be the recipient of a public testimonial couched in the language of the one you have been good enough to transmit to me, I am very sensible of that honour, and find it difficult to express adequately my appreciation of the kindly feeling that has prompted this manifestation of good will on the part of so many whose opinions I estimate so highly. I need scarcely add that the document will be valued by me as the pleasantest memorial of my life in China. \n\nAlthough it is true that in the position I was recently called upon to take I was \n\ndischarging \n\n233", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-213 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1883 [12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 325823, "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": "CO129-216 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1884 [5-6]", "page_number": 412, "title": "CO129-216 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1884 [5-6]", "content_text": "# Enclosure: \n## THE FRENCH PROTECTORATE IN TONQUIN\n\nThe wire briefly informs us that France has concluded a treaty with Annam. This is emphatically vague and might even be considered unsatisfactory, if it were not that it is tolerably easy, under present circumstances, to forecast what the main lines of the document are. The French have no doubt simply written down all they wanted and the young King, Kien-Phuc, and his ministers have meekly signed the paper and considered themselves reasonably well treated in having even so small a say in the matter. The fragmentary and erratic treaty which Dr. Harmand concluded last August doubtless but very imperfectly represents the new paper. The right to establish Custom houses in a few named towns therein stipulated for is now probably expanded to a complete liberty to establish such buildings wherever the protectors may please, now or at any future time. It is not at all improbable that a cheap show of generosity will be made in the retrocession of the province of Binh-Thuan to Annam! This district, the ancient Ziampa of Marco Polo, would be of no pecuniary advantage to the French. On the contrary, it would probably make Cochin-China budgets even more unsatisfactory reading than they are at present. By the simple process of returning the province France will be able to lay claim to magnanimity and at the same time will save a great deal of money. Instead of administering Binh Thuan at her own cost France will simply send the same number of Residents thither as she would otherwise have done and will make Annamese revenues pay for them.\n\nThe proceedings of France in the south are, however, not of so much interest to Hongkong as the possibilities in Tonquin. There undoubtedly the Republic will extend her protecting influence to the utmost. Residents will be settled in all the towns of the slightest importance, and the country will be as undistinguishable from Cochin-China as Cambodia is at the present moment. A great endeavour will be made to divert the trade of the country to Saigon, but however that trade may be favoured, it is practically certain that a great part, if not the principal part, of the import and export business will find its way to Hongkong. Numbers of Chinamen are flocking into the country already, but they are Chinamen from Hongkong, or Canton, not Chinamen from Saigon, or rather from the neighbouring mart of Cholen. It is of course the Celestials who make the trade of a country in the East, and the Chinamen in Tonquin will not fail to keep up their relations with their principals or friends, notwithstanding the temptations that may be held out to them to divert the flow of merchandise in another direction.\n\nThe present state and the prospects of the country under its new rulers are therefore matters of very considerable interest to Hongkong. At present in their fear that all the trade of the country will find its way to this colony, the French are inclined to place a variety of restrictions on foreign trade. They are afraid that they will only have the shadow and that all the substance will find its way across the Gulf. The prospect is no doubt aggravating. Tonquin is not merely a very rich colony; it is the only rich colony our neighbours have got. That it should be developed only for the swelling of the money bags of perfide Albion is too exasperating to endure just at present. When, however, it is discovered that without foreign capital Tonquin will not be so very great an acquisition after all irritation will tone down into tolerance. Tonquin promises any amount of wealth, but before money can be got out of it, it must be put in, and that is just where French colonists fail.\n\nThere are not many French colonists in the country yet, and there are no immediate signs that the number is to be increased to any very considerable extent. The few there are are not of a very estimable character from the point of view of a political economist. They are divided into two classes, the cantiniers, the pot-house and wine-shop keepers, and the somewhat more aspiring few who do not keep cabarets, but sell liquor wholesale to those who do. Both of these make money, but they do not make money for France and still less for the colony. Least of all do they advance the prospects of Tonquin. With the laudable object of putting an end to the multiplication of these sorry négociants, General Millot has issued a proclamation. Whether, however, from a hopeless recognition of the fact that no other Frenchmen but dram sellers would come to settle in Tonquin, or with a view to control foreign traders, the edict embraces merchants of all kinds. No one is to be allowed to establish a business of any kind whatever in the country without the express permission of the Government. This is not the way to encourage the bringing of capital into the country, and Tonquin wants money even more desperately than does the French Government itself. The idea may merely be to put an end to the terrible number of drinking shops, but it seems also to be intended to keep down the establishment of foreign firms of whatever kind. The suggestion may appear ill-naturel, but it seems to be borne out by a further vexatious ordinance, issued within the last few weeks. No \"armed exploring parties\" are to be permitted throughout the whole extent of the protectorate. This virtually means the prohibition of exploration of every kind, except such as is sanctioned by the French Government and supported by detachments of French troops. Beyond the limits of actual military occupation, no foreigner is safe unless he is armed. The word \"pirate\" is wonderfully misused down in Tonquin. Any native of the country is stigmatised as a pirate if he objects to the French domination of the country, and with this definition of the word the vast majority of the population of Tonquin are pirates. They are absurdly badly armed, but twenty foot long spears and swords which bend double with every blow, are quite formidable enough weapons against Europeans who have no arms at all. The exploitation of Tonquin is therefore likely to be delayed for a considerable time. Colonists from France with money to set themselves up are devoutly prayed for, but do not seem likely to come. Meanwhile foreigners are apparently warned off no matter how much money they may be willing to spend. This, however, is sure to right itself in time, possibly with the next Governor or Commissary-General, or if not with him, then with his successor, and administrators-in-chief of Tonquin succeed each other with even greater rapidity than Governments in France itself.\n\nMoney is wanted in Tonquin, but it must not be mistaken what it is wanted for. It is not for the cultivation of the country, for there is not a country in all this world that is more thoroughly cultivated than Tonquin as far north as Thai-Nguyen and Hung-Hoa. The lower delta lands are almost wholly given over to rice, but north of the Song-cau river and in the country above Son-tay, Tonquin is more like a large kitchen garden than an ordinary agricultural landscape.\n\nPage 4113\nREGP 19 JUL 84", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-216 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1884 [5-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 328503, "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": "CO129-221 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1885 [4-6]", "page_number": 278, "title": "CO129-221 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1885 [4-6]", "content_text": "## DESPATCH\n\nof One hundred and sixty-six thousand four hundred and forty pounds sterling (£166,440), it is intended to supply one hundred and twenty-five thousand (125,000) inhabitants of this Colony with nineteen gallons per head daily.\n\n-(19)\n\nI have the honour to be,\nMy Lord,\nYour Lordship's Most Obedient Humble Servant,\nJ.

Porter.\n\nSt. Andrew's Hall was decorated with festoons of green leaves, flags, and pot plants, and made to look bright and pretty, and three long tables were set out, taking almost the entire length of the room, with a cross table at the head, in the centre of which sat the Chairman, with a Vice-Chairman at the head of each side table, on either hand, and another at the foot of each of the three tables.\n\nSt. George's Hall was also neatly decorated, the doors being curtained with flags, and ferns, moss, and pot plants being used with good effect. A capital dancing floor was prepared. The ante-room was decorated in the same way, and a portion of the Chamber of Commerce room was partitioned off and a refreshment buffet established there.\n\nThe entrance hall and staircase were also very effectively decorated with pot plants and wreaths of green leaves, presenting a very pleasing appearance.\n\nThe banquet commenced at 7.15 o'clock p.m., the Band playing \"The Roast Beef of Old England.\" The following were the after-dinner speeches:-\n\n## Speech of the Chief Justice\n\nThe CHAIRMAN- The first toast on the list for this evening is the usual loyal toast, the health of Her Majesty the Queen. I ask you to join me in drinking that toast.\n\nThe toast was drunk upstanding, with three cheers.\n\nThe Band- \"God Save the Queen.\"\n\nThe CHAIRMAN- The next toast on the list is the health of the Prince and Princess of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family.\n\nThe toast was drunk with similar honours. The Band- \"God Bless the Prince of Wales.\"\n\nThe CHAIRMAN- Gentlemen, the next toast I have to propose is the health of His Excellency the Governor. (Applause). We are met together on this occasion, as you all know, in compliment to his Excellency the Governor, and for the purpose of bidding him farewell publicly, as he is shortly about to depart from us, in all probability never to return. It is now nearly three years since he first assumed the government of this Colony. He came to us at a somewhat critical period of our history, no novice in the management of affairs, but as an old and tried Governor, with great experience in the conduct of business, having successfully governed some of the most important colonies in the British empire-colonies which have already made a place in history and which are undoubtedly destined to take a foremost place among the nations of the world. (Cheers). For his services before he came amongst us, he had already received from the hands of Her Majesty one of the highest rewards that it is usual to bestow for distinguished public service, viz., the Grand Cross of the Most Distinguished Order of St. Michael and St. George. (Applause).\n\nHis services to this community have been recognized on more than one occasion, and only recently in their farewell address by the Legislative Council-(applause)-body which, comprising as it does nearly all the members of the Executive Council in addition to some of the leading members of the general community, has naturally been brought into more intimate relationships with the Governor than any other portion of the public and is best able to judge of their value. (Hear, hear).\n\nIt would ill become me on the present occasion and in the present assembly, which is not met together for political purposes, and especially in my position, to enter into any question having any bearing upon politics. (Hear, hear). This I can say for myself that I know that His Excellency has always taken a very great interest in everything that he considered was for the best interest of the community-(applause)-and I think I can take it upon myself in the name of all who are present to assure the Governor in similar language to that used by the Legislative Council in its farewell address, that his administration will always be associated in our minds with much personal kindness, consideration, and hospitality (cheers)-a hospitality which I may observe owed a great portion of its charm to the deserved popularity of Lady Bowen and her daughters in the first portion of His Excellency's administration, a hospitality which was not slackened during their necessary but regretted absence, and which has again during the last few months been brightened by the presence of one of His Excellency's daughters and of his only son. (Renewed and prolonged applause).\n\nI am sure also that we all sympathize with the Governor in the prospect of his approaching retirement from public life. It will undoubtedly be a trial to him to give up the active pursuits in which he has been hitherto engaged, the pleasures as well as the anxieties of public life, and the degree of state to which he has been accustomed, for the comparative simplicity and retirement of private life. We have all of us, however, to look forward to relinquishing the active pursuits of life, but there is some consolation for us all if we are able to carry with us in our retirement the assurance that in the days of our activity we faithfully endeavoured to perform our various duties to the best of our ability. (Applause).\n\nBut the Governor, with his experience, need not, unless he pleases, live merely a life of lettered ease, and there are more useful services in which he can be engaged than even in administering the affairs of an important Colony such as this. There has been of late a growing tendency both in the mother country and in the Colonies to tighten and strengthen the bonds of union now existing between them-(applause)-and there has also been a growing and strong desire to enter into closer relationship between ourselves and our great kindred nation. (Hear, hear).\n\nNext year will be an eventful year in this respect. The new buildings of The Royal Colonial Institute will be opened-a Society of which Sir George Bowen has long been a member-(applause)-and which, together with its off-shoot, the Empire Club, has done so much to bring Colonial questions prominently forward before the public at home. Leading colonists from all parts of the Empire will take part in the Colonial Exhibition, to which we are about sending our modest contribution, including many from Colonies over which Sir George Bowen has had the honour during his long career of having been appointed Governor.\n\nThere will also be the American Exhibition of Inventions, which will attract to London many of the leading citizens of the United States, and to welcome whom a Council consisting of most of the leading men in the British possessions, and amongst whom I have no doubt Sir George Bowen's name is already to be found, has been formed by American residents in London and promoters of the Exhibition, avowedly for the purpose of strengthening the friendly relationships between the great English-speaking nations who have one language and one literature in common, whose great men and our great men, and whose noble women and our noble women are the same-(applause)-and who all inherit the glorious deeds and love of liberty of our ancestors. (Renewed applause).\n\nAnd to crown all, it will be the jubilee year of our Most Gracious Sovereign Her Majesty the Queen. (Loud cheers). The movements which have commenced cannot fail to be accelerated by these events, and His Excellency will no doubt be called upon to take an active part in them, and if, as the result of the consultations and deliberations which are even now taking place, any satisfactory measures can be discovered which will have the effect of bringing Great Britain and Ireland, their colonies and dependencies into closer union, especially if in addition we and our kindred nation, the Great Republic of the United States of America (loud applause)-the citizens of whom I believe venerate and respect our Queen in almost if not in quite the same degree as we do ourselves (applause)-could be brought closer and more unitedly together, it would be of so great a service to the world at large as to reflect the highest amount of credit and honour on all concerned in bringing it about. (Hear, hear).\n\nSuch a union would hold out no menace to foreign powers but would, I should hope, have a tendency to hasten the period when reason and not force, right and not might, shall prevail among all the nations of the earth. (Cheers).\n\nIn conclusion, I may say I know that I can safely assure the Governor of the best wishes of you all (hear, hear and cheers)-that he may have a safe and pleasant voyage home-that he may thoroughly enjoy himself during his stay in that old and interesting country which he purposes visiting on his way-(hear, hear)-that he may have a happy meeting with the remainder of his family in England (applause)-and, if so be that he never returns to us again, we trust that he will continue to take the same kindly interest in the welfare of the Colony that he has taken since the first day he came among us-(hear, hear)-and that, again using similar language to that contained in the address before referred to, we hope that he may long enjoy the rest earned by more than a quarter of a century's service and that his unequalled experience may be found of service in the Councils of the Empire. (Cheers).\n\nI have now the great pleasure of proposing the health of His Excellency the Governor, Sir George Ferguson Bowen, and to ask you to unite with me in wishing him all happiness, prosperity, and success in his future career. (Loud cheers).\n\nThe Band- \"God Save the Queen.\"\n\nThe toast was drunk with musical honours and three times three.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY, who was received with prolonged and most enthusiastic applause, said- Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, I thank His Honour the Chief Justice for the flattering and eloquent speech in which he has just proposed my health-a speech, I may add, which derives additional weight and significance from his own high office and character, which are most fully appreciated throughout this Colony. (Applause).\n\nPage 150\nPage 151", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-223 - Governor Sir Bowen Acting Governor Marsh & Others - 1885 [11-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 335098, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-234 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Des Voeus - 1887 [9-12]", "page_number": 380, "title": "CO129-234 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Des Voeus - 1887 [9-12]", "content_text": "376\n\nand some outsiders also.

The Governor observes with satisfaction that the Committee of the Chamber of Commerce are prepared to accept cheerfully the increased taxation that will probably be necessary to meet the heavy expenses of contemplated measures for the general improvement of sanitation.\n\nI have the honour to be, Sir,\n\nYour most obedient servant,\n\nT. SERCOMBE SMITH,\n\nActing Colonial Secretary.\n\nTHE SECRETARY,\n\nChamber of Commerce.\n\n31.The foregoing statements prove that the local Government has failed to give effect, save in a very qualified form, to the measures so frequently urged upon it by its own Medical Officers and other experts; its efforts, so far, have met with so little result, indeed, that the Colony is now suffering severely from the annually recurring visitations of plague and, in a lesser degree, of enteric fever and small-pox. The inadequacy of the measures adopted by the local Government in dealing with so grave a crisis may, we submit, be regarded as equivalent to a tacit admission on its part that it is beyond its Power, of its own initiative, to undertake the gigantic task which a thorough and efficient reform of the Sanitary conditions of the Colony, with the heavy expenditure and sacrifices attending it, would involve\n\nThe conviction has consequently been forced upon us that no really effectual measures will be taken to grapple with the Sanitary problems of the Colony and to arrest the progress of disease until an appeal is made to the responsible Minister of State for his intervention. These annual epidemics are pressing acutely on the Commerce and Industries of the Colony, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain labour, whether European or Chinese. This year the Plague has again produced a cessation of Emigration, and the loss to the Shipping and Trade generally through quarantine restrictions and other delays has been very great. Native workmen are leaving Hongkong in thousands, and there is not an important industry or commercial undertaking in the Colony, employing and dependent on Chinese labour, that has not suffered.\n\nUnder the circumstances hereinbefore referred to your Petitioners most humbly Pray that you will be pleased\n\nthis 25th day of June, 1901.\n\n1.-To appoint a Commission consisting of a person or persons wholly unconnected with the Colony to proceed forthwith to Hongkong to investigate and report\n\n(a) On the Sanitary Condition of the Colony; (b) On the measures to be adopted for the improvement of the City of Victoria and of the Colony as it at present exists.\n\n2.That you will be pleased to attach to the said Commission some independent Sanitary Expert to advise.\n\n3. That after receiving and considering the Report of such Commission, you will give directions for the Recommendations of that Commission to be forthwith carried into effect.\n\nT. H. WHITEHEAD, J.P.

A good deal of reclaiming of land from the sea is to be done, but flat land will be scarce, and we beg to suggest that if you think of doing business at the new port it would be desirable to lose as little time as possible in making choice of a site. Our firm, we expect, will be establishing a branch at the new port, and would be happy to undertake your agency and to advise on the choice of a site, for which we think we are favourably placed, as the chief engineer, whose plans for the harbour have been sanctioned, is a personal friend of the writer.\n\nAll land within 4 miles of the new harbour has been acquired by the Provincial Government, and their present idea is to grant leases, not to sell outright. A comprehensive proposal to the Viceroy would doubtless receive favourable consideration, for the Chinese authorities are desirous of making a success of the harbour as a set-off to Dalny.\n\nTheir action in buying up all the land round about the harbour was induced by Japanese agents attempting to buy land from the native owners with the object of blocking the construction of the harbour, and to end these Japanese intrigues the Provincial Government stepped in and acquired all the land.\n\nWe beg to add that the writer was assured that the railway from Chinchow towards the Russian frontier was certain of being built in the near future; were it otherwise, a harbour on the scale proposed for Hulutao would not have been sanctioned. As far as Petune, about 600 miles from Chinchow, the trace for the railway is practically settled. This railway will open up a great extent of rich land which is being rapidly settled by immigrants.\n\n&c.\n\nWe are,\n**WILLIAM FORBES AND Co.**\n1911\n\n| Date | Last previous Paper | Foreign | ... | Next subsequent Paper | ... |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| ... | HONG KONG EASTERN 5713 | ... | ... | 0.923 | ... |\n| 21 EB 1 | ... | ... | Prints to States, Euf 280eb, & (3.413).

(Colonial Regulations § 430.)\n\n## Head 3\nState the description of Allowance, for which the Application is recommended, viz., Superannuation, Compensation, Compassionate Allowance, or Gratuity, and its amount. In the case of Persons claiming an addition to their pensions in respect of professional or other special qualifications, this should be stated, and a reference should be given to the authority under which the claim is made.\n\n## Head 5\nIf the service has been interrupted by one or more breaks, the word \"broken\" should be added before or after the number of years and months, and the causes, dates, and circumstances of the break or breaks should be stated under this heading.\n\n## Head 6\nIf the person retiring has been in receipt of the same Salary, or in the class from which he retires, for the 36 months immediately before the date of his retirement, the annual rate of Salary or Wages at that date should be inserted, preceded by the word \"actual\". In other cases, the average annual amount of Salary or Wages for the 36 months next preceding the date of retirement should be stated, preceded by the word \"average\", but if the whole period of service is less than three years, then the average for the whole period of service should be inserted.\n\n## Head 7\nA separate statement should be inserted of the average Annual Value, for the 36 months immediately preceding retirement, of each Emolument (exclusive of salary or wages) which is claimed to be included in the calculation of the Pension or Gratuity.\n\nWhenever the value of a House or House Allowance, so ascertained, exceeds one-sixth of the salary and other emoluments which count for Pension purposes, it is to be reduced to one-sixth of that amount, so that it shall not exceed one-seventh of the whole.\n\nFees which an Officer is allowed to retain for his own use will be taken into account for Pension purposes, with regular salary, at the annual average of the net receipts of the 36 months next preceding the Officer's retirement. These net receipts are to be ascertained by deducting from the gross amount of Fees such Office Expenses, &c., as an Officer may have had to defray from his own resources, in performing the services for which he was remunerated by Fees. No deduction, however, from the Fees should be made in respect of Office Expenses provided from Public Funds, for the due discharge of those duties to which a Fixed Salary is annexed. Paper of \"Particulars\" when forwarded to the Colonial Department should be accompanied by formal Declarations from the retiring Officers, showing the amount received by them for Fees, and the amount defrayed as above for Office Expenses, &c., in each of the three years immediately preceding retirement. It will be the duty of the Colonial Government concerned to satisfy themselves of the accuracy of such statements before forwarding them to the Colonial Office. In the case of Officers receiving Fixed Salaries and Fees, the Fees will not in ordinary circumstances be allowed to count for Pension purposes to the extent of more than one quarter of the Salaries, and less will not in any case be allowed to count for Pension purposes during any period in which the whole time of the Officer receiving them was not given to the Public Service.\n\n## Head 8\nIn cases of infirmity, if the Applicant is below the ordinary age for retirement, a Medical Certificate is to be furnished showing that he is disqualified by infirmity of mind or body for discharging the duties of his situation, and that such infirmity is likely to be permanent.\n\nIn case of ten years' service or more, this Certificate should be signed by two Officers, of whom at least one should, if possible, be a Salaried Officer of Government.\n\n## Head 9\nAs to \"broken\" service, see Head 5. If the Applicant has had any \"acting\" service, the details must be fully given, with a statement whether or not, during the \"acting\" service, he was connected with the permanent Civil Service of the Colony.\n\n## Head 11\nIf, in special circumstances, a professional Civil Officer has been allowed to have \"private practice\" without forfeiting his claim to Pension, the facts are to be fully stated.\n\n## Head 14\nIf the Applicant is liable to any deduction from his service under Clause 103 of the Colonial Regulations, the facts should be fully stated.\n\n## Head 19\nThe length of service and other particulars of the computation are to be given. When an average of Salary, &c., is taken, the mode of calculating it (whether by months, &c.) is to be explained.\n\n(1) Officers who joined before 1st July 1887 are remunerated from their pension in England at the rate of 3/8d. the dollar; others who joined later...\n\n(2) Indians having joined the service before 28th June, 1895, and drawing pension in India are entitled to exchange at the rate of Rs. 227 for every $100; others who joined later to Rs. 200 for every $100.\n\nP. 12 MAY 10. 15 DRAFT.\n\nMr. Robinson 11/5 M.

Heckrath stated that he had given the witness similar instructions, but that they related to four other boxes. I did not accept the evidence of this witness for the Crown.\n\n5. A Chinese constable deposed for the Crown that certain labels were found lying on the floor of the Baggage Room, apparently torn from these boxes. I inspected the boxes and formed the opinion that the removal of these labels may well have been accidental, and, also, that there is no reason to suppose that Heckrath removed the labels.\n\n6. It appeared further in the Crown evidence that five of the boxes seized could be unlocked by keys found in the bunch of keys in Heckrath's possession. The others could be opened by keys in the possession of Rearden. The eighth box could not be opened by the keys in the possession of any of the defendants. The keys found on Delcaire could not open any of the boxes. Heckrath and Rearden in their evidence each of them offered an explanation of the use of the keys found in their possession. But anyhow little importance can be given to this item in the case for the Crown, as it was proved also that five of these same boxes could be opened by the use of keys in the possession of Mr. Jenkin, Barrister at Law, who was engaged in the case for the defence.\n\n7. It was admitted throughout that the three defendants were acquaintances and were travelling together by arrangement. It was admitted by a Police Sergeant (Pincett) in cross-examination that a man named Sydney Cohen was personally known to him as a dealer in illicit opium and that Cohen's servant had been charged recently with a breach of the Opium Ordinance in Hongkong, when opium attributed to Cohen had been found in his custody. The servant was tried by my colleague, Mr. J. R. Wood, and was discharged on the ground that it was not proved by the Crown that he knew what were the contents of the boxes placed in his charge. Sergeant Pincott also stated that Cohen held himself out to be connected with the Cinematograph Trade.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-433 - Governor Sir May - 1916 [5-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 461431, "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": "CO129-433 - Governor Sir May - 1916 [5-6]", "page_number": 64, "title": "CO129-433 - Governor Sir May - 1916 [5-6]", "content_text": "## 9\nIn the present case, Rearden, in her evidence (which I believed) stated that she, Cohen, had accidentally met him in the Piccadilly Hotel prior to his departure from England, and had agreed, at his request, to take out some cases of Cinema Films to Yokohama for him. She afterwards received no further communication from him; nor did she know that he had sent any boxes on board for her. Cohen knew that Delcaire was travelling in the party. The label on one of the boxes had the name (Rearden) wrongly spelt. She herself did not know that these boxes were on board until they were produced on deck in Hongkong. Delcaire gave evidence that she had not heard of Cohen and did not know him; and that she did not know of the existence of the four boxes labelled with her name.\n\nThe effect of the evidence given by the defendants, Rearden and Delcaire, and by Sergeant Pincott was to render it probable that Cohen had despatched the opium from London, using the names of Rearden and Delcaire, without their knowledge or connivance.\n\n## 9. \nThe Crown called a witness named Horne, who deposed that during October last he had received from Heckrath, he then, so he said, Heckrath's valet eight trunks with instructions to convey them to China on the S.S. \"Kashima Maru\". He gave details of the delivery of these boxes to him by Heckrath and stated that on arrival on Shanghai on the 20th November the boxes had been seized and had been found to contain opium. He stated that he did not know either Rearden or Delcaire. Heckrath denied this story and stated that Horne had left his employment in September 1915.\n\n## 10.\nI placed no reliance whatever upon Horne's evidence. Even if it were credible in itself, it is admissible only in corroboration of other evidence and I should exclude it in accordance with the judgment delivered by Lord Reading (then Sir Rufus Isaacs) L. C. J. in R v Shellaker (C. C. A. 78 J.

That each of the existing 20,000 fully paid up shares of $50 each constituting the Company's present capital of $1,000,000 be divided into 5 fully paid up shares of $10 each so as to make such capital $1,000,000 consisting of 100,000 fully paid up shares of $10 each.\n\nThe Rev. Father ROBERT seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN: I now beg to propose the confirmation as a special resolution of the second of the said three resolutions, namely:\n\n(4.)

Mr. Ho Fook seconded the resolution, which was carried.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN: I now beg to propose the confirmation as a special resolution of the third of the said three resolutions, namely:-\n\n(5.) That it is desirable to capitalise the sum of $1,000,000 being part of the undivided profits of the Company standing to the credit of the general reserve, and accordingly that for the purpose of effecting such capitalisation such sum of $1,000,000 be distributed as bonus among the shareholders of the Company in proportion to the shares in the Company's present capital of $1,000,000 held by them respectively on the date hereinafter referred to, and that a bonus be declared accordingly. And further that the Company's Board of Directors be and they are hereby authorised to satisfy such bonus as far as possible by the distribution in manner aforesaid of 100,000 shares of $10 each credited as fully paid up among the persons who are registered as the holders of the shares constituting the Company's present capital of $1,000,000 on such date as the Company's Board of Directors shall decide - such last mentioned shares to rank pari passu with the shares constituting the Company's present capital of $1,000,000 in respect of all profits of the Company earned since the 31st December, 1920, and such distribution to be in satisfaction of the aforementioned bonus.\n\nMr. Ho KOM TONG seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN: Gentlemen, that concludes the business for which this meeting was convened, and I thank you for your attendance.

Canton was becoming accustomed to boycott conditions and was adapting herself to them. Big interests were growing up among the merchants which were strongly opposed to an arrangement. This was particularly the case with regard to shipping, and among merchants who had established with Shanghai and elsewhere a new trade which had formerly been with Hong Kong. Canton was finding that, in various ways, especially in coasting shipping, she could get along without Hong Kong.\n\nI put to Mr. Sung the point of view of Hong Kong. The Hong Kong merchant claimed that labour had no grievance of any sort against himself or any Hong Kong conditions, and had gone on strike on account of circumstances which it was quite out of the power of anyone in Hong Kong to alter or control. Labour had done its utmost to ruin Hong Kong, and it was sheer blackmail to demand a money payment as a condition of terminating the boycott. The merchants could not be compelled to pay. Many of them would refuse absolutely to do so, and even if the merchants' representatives should be in favour of a payment, it might be impossible to raise the money. Labour had done its utmost to deprive the merchants of the power to pay, and it was unlikely that a large sum in ready cash could be made available. Admittedly, with the revival of trade, prosperity would return, and payment could be made later, but it must be clearly understood that, if the merchants should decide to come to some such arrangement, the Hong Kong Government stood entirely aloof and assumed no responsibility whatever. It would be for labour and the merchants to arrange such guarantees as they could agree upon. The Government was not going to allow a repetition of the misunderstanding caused at the last strike by the Ho Tung incident (this had been discussed separately).\n\nMr. Sung suggested that the community should be taxed to provide the money, or it should be advanced out of the trade loan. I said that the former alternative was out of the question, and, with regard to the latter, the Government did not wish to countenance any payment. If, however, the question of a final settlement resolved itself into one of the provision of strike pay, there would be no longer any necessity for Government representatives, except that the Government of Hong Kong must ask the Canton Government to use its good offices in persuading the strikers to be reasonable and in inducing the Canton merchants to take their share. The position would be explained to the merchants in Hong Kong, and they, if they so desired, would select their own representatives to meet the strikers for the purpose of arriving at a satisfactory bargain, if possible.\n\nMr. Sung entirely concurred, being evidently relieved at the suggestion that officials from Canton should not be involved in the strike pay bargaining. He agreed that the view of Hong Kong, as expressed by me, was a most reasonable one, and he stated that prospects of a satisfactory settlement were more remote than he had at first thought, as both sides had such a strong case. He still maintained, however, that Hong Kong would be well advised to give way, and that no settlement was possible unless she did.\n\nIn the course of our conversation, I said that it was reported that there was to be an anti-Christian demonstration at Christmas, and I suggested that the Canton authorities should do what they could to discountenance it, both on general grounds and also in view of the negotiations which were in prospect. Mr. Sung said that his Government was in no sense hostile to Christianity or to any other religion. They believed in entire freedom with regard to religious beliefs. They would take the necessary action to keep the demonstration within strict bounds.\n\nOn arrival off Shameen, Mr. Sung's motor-boat came alongside and he offered to land me in Shameen. As we were leaving the ship, Mr. Fitzmaurice, the vice-consul, came on board, and the motor-boat put back and took him off. At the Shameen steps Mr. Sung directed a coolie in the boat to carry my bag, but the coolie was stopped by a small Indian policeman, who would not let him pass, in spite of the vice-consul's protests. The incident undoubtedly created an unfortunate impression, and I record it as significant of the atmosphere which apparently surrounds the consulate. Mr. Sung had previously volunteered the statement that the Government found the consul-general most difficult.\n\nOn landing, I reported the conversations at Government House and my conversations with Mr. Sung to the consul-general. Sir James expressed the opinion that Mr. Sung was a man of parts, but a nonentity in the Government, an opinion which I informed him I was unable to endorse. I asked Sir James for his view on the question of strike pay. He was not definite as to the British merchants, but he thought that the Chinese should pay. A settlement was imperative—at least, in so far as British shipping was concerned—and, after all, it was the usual practice in China. Whatever the rights and wrongs of a dispute, it was always settled by a payment exacted from the merchants. The Hong Kong Government's great mistake in the seamen's strike was the closing of the Seamen's Union. That step should never have been taken.\n\nPage 65\n\nAt 10:30 P.M. Mr. Maurice Cohen brought a note from Mr. Sung regarding the arrangements made. I took the opportunity to ask Mr. Cohen some questions, and he thereupon volunteered his views on the whole situation. A settlement was earnestly desired. The man who counted was Mr. Sung. He had very great influence, and the fact that he had been chosen to go to Hong Kong was most significant. He would never have gone unless he had felt confident that a settlement was really in sight, as he would lose face if it fell through. But Borodin was a power to be reckoned with. He still had great influence, especially with Mr. Sung, who was his particular friend. The Canton Government owed the Russians a great debt of gratitude. Mr. Cohen had arranged with Dr. Sun to enlist Canadians to train his army, and he had actually got the men, but the consul-general stood in the way—they must register at the consulate and would not be allowed to do the work. There was then nothing for it but to employ Germans or Russians, and Borodin came forward. Borodin saw exactly what was wanted, and he brought out his men. They were of an inferior type, but the material was so bad that anyone could effect an improvement. The Cantonese would never have had a chance against the Kwong Sai troops and the Yunnanese had it not been for the Whampoa Cadets, and they were amazed at the astonishing results of the Russian training. They also received arms and munitions from the Russians, and they recognised that their present success was based on the foundation laid by the Russians. The Government was, however, tired of the Russians, and it was quite possible that they might be turned out neck and crop at any time. Mr. Sun Fo hated them, and he especially hated Borodin. Mr. Sun Fo, by reason of his being Dr. Sun Yat-sen's son, had an immense influence, and this was a most important factor in the situation.\n\nhis being Dr. Sun Yat-sen's son, had an immense influence, and the Canton Government was most anxious to conciliate him and to get him to return. The Canton Government had come to stay, and the only possible danger to it was Mr. Sun Fo, whose personal following was such that he could, if he so desired, place himself in supreme power in Canton without any armed force, provided that he proceeded along the present lines. I may note here that Mr. Sung had said that the troubles in the north had been useful to Canton in the sense that the military chiefs had had their hands too full to interfere effectively, and Canton was by this time so strong that no party in China dare now attack her. Canton, for her part, did not propose to send any expedition to the north, as the cost would be far too great and she would dissipate her strength.\n\nMr. Cohen went on to say that I could look upon Mr. Foo Ping-sheung as a personal friend and a strong advocate of a settlement. Mr. C. C. Wu also wanted to settle. Mr. Tam Ying-kai was a particularly pleasant man, and a scholar. He would go with the majority. Mr. Wong Tsing-wai wanted a settlement, but he was difficult to deal with. Mr. Cohen could tell me in strict confidence that the strikers were, in fact, supported by the Government, but the Government was sincerely anxious to get rid of them, and the time was entirely opportune for coming to terms. There were three German aviators employed, but they kept out of politics. Mr. Cohen produced for my inspection a contract in original, signed by Dr. Sun Yat-sen and the Northern Construction Company (Limited), of Vancouver, dated the 12th April, 1923, under which the company was to build the uncompleted portion of the Canton-Hankow Railway.\n\nAt 11 A.M. on the 21st December, I went, accompanied by Mr. Fitzmaurice, to Government House, in the old Viceroy's yamen. There we met Mr. Wong Ching-wai, Mr. C. C. Wu, T. V. Sung, Foo Ping-sheung, and Mr. Luk King-fo, the last-named interpreting, as Mr. Wong did not know English. I was received in a most cordial manner, and I expressed to Mr. Wong Ching-wai the Governor's warm regard, the pleasure which it had given him to receive Mr. Sung, and his gratification that the two Governments had got together in this friendly manner. We agreed that both Governments were entirely sincere in their desire to bring about a settlement of the strike and boycott, and it was decided that, as nothing definite was known of the strikers' attitude beyond the terms which they had published, it would be as well to analyse them. It was emphasised by both sides that neither Government had any official cognisance of them.\n\n[14166]\n\nCopies in Chinese\n\nK\n\n527", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-495 - Governor Sir Clementi - 1926 [11-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 506530, "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": "CO129-498-3 Canton boycott- prospects of restoring normal conditions 20-12-1925 - 24-12-1925", "page_number": 16, "title": "CO129-498-3 Canton boycott- prospects of restoring normal conditions 20-12-1925 - 24-12-1925", "content_text": "On landing I reported the conversations at Government House and my conversations with Mr. Sung to the Consul-General.

At this distance it is difficult to get at the facts, and you will doubtless have received more reliable information from Hankow, but it may be of interest to record the views which have been expressed to me by Mr. Robert S. Norman, who has recently returned to Canton. Mr. Norman, who is an American, was for many years the legal adviser and close personal friend of Dr. Sun Yat-sen. He has, I understand, always been well disposed towards the British, and did a good deal to allay the excitement aroused in the city immediately after the Shakee shooting affair of June 1925, a fact which was, I believe, acknowledged in despatches by Sir James Jamieson. Mr. Norman is himself a member of the Kuo Min-tang, and, although he holds no official position at the moment, and is in Canton on private business, he is in close touch with General Li Chai-sum and the leading local officials, and is in correspondence with General Chiang Kai-shek, of whom he holds a very high opinion. He told me that General Chiang had had enough of Communist interference with his military plans, and that he was calling a conference of Kuo Min-tang leaders at his headquarters in Nanchang with a view to defining and limiting the position of the Communists in the Nationalist party and getting rid of the Russians. General Li Chai-sum, the real ruler of this province, was, he said, a loyal adherent of Chiang Kai-shek, to whom he referred for instructions in all matters of importance. His chief of staff, Ma Wen-che, had just left for the North to attend the Nanchang Conference. Mr. Norman, who evidently holds a brief for Chiang Kai-shek, appeared to regard him as the only true exponent of Sun Yat-sen's principles, and the sole hope of a moderate Nationalist policy as against the Communist and Russian influence, which had seized control of the party machine.\n\n## 5. \nThe civil officials, such as Eugene Chen, T. V. Soong and Sun Fo, he considered to be mere politicians and time-servers, who knew which side their bread was buttered, and who clung to the Russians because they had no other support or following. He stated that Eugene Chen had more principles than the others and Sun Fo none at all. Sun Fo, he said, had promoted the right wing opposition Kuo Min-tang group in Shanghai at the end of 1925, and had collected funds for the purpose in America. Subsequently he had deserted them for the party in power in Canton. He was wanted by the latter because of his name (he is, of course, the son of the late Sun Yat-sen), but he is regarded with suspicion by his present associates, and has to be ultra-red to atone for his previous disaffection; hence his violent speeches.\n\n## 6. \nThere is a tendency on the part of foreigners to attach political labels to Chinese politicians and to classify them individually as moderate or extremist, right or left, Communist or Conservative, &c., and the same foreigners are constantly being puzzled and disconcerted because the people so labelled do not run true to form. The truth is that the Chinese who now fill the political stage are actuated in their groupings much more by personal attraction or animosity than by political ideals, and are quite ready to be either extreme or moderate as may suit their purpose for the time being. Sun Fo is an unscrupulous wind-bag of this type, and C. C. Wu is another. No more bitter and violent invective has been heaped on the British people during all this anti-foreign campaign than was emitted by C. C. Wu during his tenure of office in Canton, but fortunately he was such a poisonous person to deal with that his own colleagues could stand him no longer, and he was summarily ejected by General Chiang Kai-shek. He fled to Shanghai via Macao, where he has since been intriguing against the Canton Government from the safety of the French concession. He is now entertained as the guest of honour by the Union Club, and impresses the Shanghai community with the sweet reasonableness of his speeches and the moderation with which he sets forth the Nationalist aspirations.\n\n## 7. \nMen like T. V. Soong, the Minister of Finance, and his brother-in-law, H. H. Kung, the newly-appointed Minister of Industry in Canton, have certainly no desire for Communism, if by that is meant class warfare, mob rule and the commandeering of their wealth by the proletariat. They both come of bourgeois stock and are Christian in religion. Soong is said to have feathered his nest pretty well since becoming Finance Minister, and Kung is already a wealthy man from a banking family, whose wife, well known, I believe, to the Diplomatic Body in Peking, has social ambitions and likes entertaining on a large scale.\n\n## 8. \nAs a matter of fact, I am informed confidentially that both these men are siding with General Chiang Kai-shek in the present dispute, but those of their colleagues in the Nationalist party who have fallen foul of their own military are obliged to look elsewhere for support, if they are to continue to exist politically, for they have no personal following of their own. Therefore, they cling to the Russians and the Communists, who wield the agitation weapon and can raise the mob. General Chiang is demanding the dismissal of the Russians, but his opponents are using the argument that if the Russians are discarded the Nationalist party will be without extraneous support in the event of attack by the Northerners or the imperialist Powers, and that there will be danger of losing the gains already wrested from the latter.\n\n## 9. \nMr. Norman and Mr. Morris Cohen, a Canadian employed in the Central Bank, have been to me and to the American consul-general, evidently on behalf of some of the local officials, to ask if the Powers cannot give Chiang Kai-shek some assurance of their support provided he eliminates the Russians, but they were very vague as to the form such assurance could take. I replied that **His Majesty's Government** declined to interfere in Chinese politics, but that they had already publicly made known to both Governments in China their willingness to alter the treaties and to do their best to meet the Nationalist aspirations, and that this offer would not be withdrawn whatever happened to the Russians. I said, however, that I would be glad to communicate by telegraph any considered suggestions made to me personally by any of the political leaders in Canton. I was then told that Mr. Kung would probably come and see me confidentially on the subject, but, although he returned my call and expressed his friendly sentiments, he has not so far seen fit to confide in me to the above extent. I have reason to believe, however, that my American colleague has telegraphed to Mr. MacMurray suggesting that Sun Fo and his party should be approached unofficially in Hankow and assured that they will not lose ground in an international sense by abandoning their Russian connection.\n\n## 10. \nIn the meantime the Japanese seem, in their own way, to be flirting with the South. The Japanese consul-general is a frequent visitor at General Li Chai-sum's residence, and he is in close touch with Mr. Chen Shu-jen, the Civil Commissioner in the Provincial Government, who was educated in Japan and speaks the language fluently. The Kuo Min-tang is at present represented in Japan by Mr. Tai Chi-tao, a prominent member of the party, and a close friend of Chiang Kai-shek. Mr. Cohen, who knows Mr. Tai personally, tells me that Chiang Kai-shek, having no son of his own, has adopted a son of Mr. Tai by one of his concubines. General Wu Te-chen, formerly chief of police in Canton, is also in Japan. I have seen a private letter from him describing his cordial reception by the Japanese authorities, while recent speeches by Mr. Saburi and Baron Shidehara would indicate that Japan is preparing the ground for an understanding with the Southerners in the event of their triumph.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n**J.

From this result, it can be inferred that one or more of the wave-lengths 313, 302, and 297μu are effective in bringing about the decomposition. From the relative intensities of the three lines, it becomes very probable that the 313μ line is mainly responsible for the decomposition. To test this, a filter was sought for, which would leave the 313 line as the shortest line being transmitted to the reaction vessel, and which, at the same time, would not greatly diminish the intensity of this line. The filter referred to in the next case was found to fulfil this function.\n\n### Experiment 8. Vessel Wall + Filter of p-Toluidine between two Uviol Sheaths\n\nA solution of p-toluidine containing 0.107 gram in 20 c.c. alcohol was prepared according to Krüss. Krüss states that this filter, when used in a thickness of 0.8 mm, absorbs all light between 308μμ and 274.\n\nThis was verified spectrographically. An experiment with this filter showed decomposition of sulphur dioxide to the extent of 3.3 per cent.\n\nThis demonstrates that the line 313μμ is capable of decomposing the sulphur dioxide, and further that this line alone accounts for more than 94 per cent of the total decomposition effected by the uviol lamp. In contrast with this, it may be recalled that the next longer line in the uviol spectrum, namely 334μm, causes no decomposition at all (cf. expt. 3).\n\nGarrett has shown that sulphur dioxide gas has a first absorption band commencing at 318.2μu with its head at 296.1μp and a second band commencing at 232.4μμ approximately and continuing beyond the limit of the ordinary plate (210). Thus, the line 313 lies just within the first absorption band and on the longer wave-length side of the band head. The above observations tend, therefore, to confirm the view that any wave-length within the limits of a band can activate or decompose the substance.\n\n### Experiment 9. Vessel Wall + B-Naphthol Filter within Two Uviol Sheaths\n\nThe fact that the lines in the region 302μμ to 274μμ have no appreciable effect is probably due to their weak intensity. Thus, in Cohen's work, when the 253μu was present as a strong line, it was very efficacious, but in the present work, where it is reduced to a weak line, it appears to have practically no effect. The argument that very weak lines have no appreciable influence photochemically was confirmed by the use of a B-naphthol filter. An alcoholic solution of B-naphthol (containing 0.144 gram in 50 c.c. alcohol), when used as a filter, absorbs the 313 line to some extent and transmits it as a weak line. It also transmits the 302 and 297μp as weak lines. Using this filter, no decomposition at all is observed.\n\n## The Thermal Decomposition of Sulphur Dioxide\n\nIn applying quantum considerations to the energetics of a chemical process (occurring under thermal conditions), it is necessary to calculate in terms of the head of the band which is responsible for the decomposition or activation of the given molecular species. The results obtained in the photochemical experiments described above indicate that, in the case of SO, the band involved is that having its head at 296′1μp, and consequently, the critical increment Eso, of this substance reckoned per gram-molecule is 96,700 cals.\n\n1 Zeitsch. Physikal. Chem., 51, 257, 1905. \n2 Phil. Mag. [vi.], 31, 505, 1916.\n\n*Cf. Krüss, loc. cit.\n\n### GASEOUS SULPHUR DIOXIDE\n\nOn the quantum theory of thermal chemical change, the heat of reaction is related (exactly, in the case of unimolecular processes, approximately, in the other cases) to the critical increments of reactants and resultants thus:\n\nheat evolved = (critical increment of resultants) - (critical increment of reactants).\n\nThis expression has already been applied by W. C. M. Lewis1 to the case of the thermal formation and decomposition of sulphur dioxide. The heat evolved in the formation of one gram-molecule of SO from the gaseous components, sulphur and oxygen, is 82,000 cals. The critical increment of one gram-atom of gaseous sulphur and one gram-molecule of oxygen was calculated to be of the order 103,000 cals., whence the critical increment of the SO molecule is 185,000 cals. per gram-molecule, which corresponds to a wave-length 153μm. We have seen, however, that SO can be decomposed by a much longer wave-length (296·1μμ), so that the critical increment calculated in the above manner is apparently far too great. In this calculation, it was assumed that atomic sulphur was actually produced by the dissociation of SO, and that consequently, for the formation of SO, it was necessary to use the data representing the absorption of energy necessary to produce one gram-atom of sulphur from the S molecules which chiefly compose the vapour of sulphur over the region 200° to 500°. This energy term is itself of the order of 50,000 to 70,000 cals, and it is evident that the excessive value obtained in the previous calculation for the critical increment of SO is due in the main to the introduction of this quantity.\n\nIn view of the photochemical decomposition occurring at a wave-length as long as 2961μ, it seems necessary to assume that in the formation of SO from gaseous sulphur and oxygen, the atom of sulphur is not involved, but that instead, we have to do with the simplest molecular form S. This indicates that in the photochemical process, we are dealing with the activation of a SO molecule rendering it capable of reacting with a second molecule rather than with a direct dissociation of an individual SO molecule.\n\nThe gaseous S molecule has a critical increment in the sense that over the temperature range mentioned, the vapour consists of S molecules. From the data available, Lewis has calculated that the energy 21,500 cals. approximately must be absorbed for the production of one gram-molecule of S from S. Further, the oxygen molecule is known to possess two absorption bands in the short infra-red region, viz. at 3.2μ and 4.8μ, of which the latter is the more marked. The critical increment corresponding to a wave-length 4.8μ is 6000 cals. in round numbers, per gram-molecule.\n\nIt is not clear whether one or both of the oxygen molecules have to be activated in order to react with S, since the stoichiometric equation, S + 2O = 2SO, probably includes two bimolecular processes.\n\nWe can only say, therefore, that the energy required for the partial activation of the \n\n1 Trans. Chem. Soc., 115, 182, 1919. \n\"It may be pointed out perhaps that the calculation of Lewis is correct in principle for the dissociation of SO into atomic sulphur and molecular oxygen. A revision of the numerical values employed would lead to a value somewhat lower than 185,000 cals., but still much greater than the value inferred from the photochemical result.) A wave-length corresponding to the \"second or \"further absorption band of SO would be likely to decompose SO into atomic sulphur and oxygen, but the photochemical result appears to indicate that the actual mechanism is one which follows a path of lower increments, for reactants as well as for resultants.\n\n1 Cf.

The trial proceeded up to that point on the assumption that Mary Pine would give evidence.\n\nMr. Hayden: Mr. Lim was not in a position to raise a technical objection then?\n\nMr. Fraser: Your Lordships will understand that I am not objecting to the amendment of the grounds of appeal. I am merely bringing cases to your Lordship's notice in order to assist the Court. May I direct your attention to Cr. Appeal Reports No. Vol. 120 page 44, Case of A.M. Cairns. That report is the last case in which the Court of Cr. Appeal entertained an application of this kind. With regard to the other statements as regards fact and with regard to misdirection, should Your Lordships find any of the statements here actually come within the notice of appeal, they could be dealt with by my learned friend. As regards Mrs. Fairburn, I have stated what I believe to be the law on the subject. I am opposing the addition of nothing, neither law nor fact. I am merely calling Your Lordships' attention to this case in order to assist the Court.\n\n(After discussion)\n\nJudges decide to hear Mr. Lim.\n\nMr. Lim: Quotes Rex v. Cohen 2 Cr. Appeal Vol. 11 page 197, last para.\n\nMr. Hayden: After obtaining Crown's position, since it is not opposing, Mr. Lim carries on.\n\nMr. Lim: Refers to Eric Davis' evidence on page 12 of Judge's notes. \"I saw no one else\" - that is the point I stress. \"We were all on the floor of the bridge\" - That is another point. There were six children on a bridge throwing stones. At a certain time Eric Davis left them to go home for a drink. When he left them, they were still playing on the bridge and were on one side of the bridge facing the Tram and no one else was on the bridge. They were standing on the floor of the bridge.\n\nMr. Hayden: They were all standing on the same side of the bridge.\n\nMr. Lim: Yes.\n\n(Mr. Fraser interrupts as he cannot see what this has to do with Mary Pine - and Mr. Lim states he is referring to the two witnesses continues.)\n\nMr. Lim: Mrs. Fairburn's evidence on page 13 - Depositions.\n\n(Judges state depositions were not handed in to them, rectified and copies supplied.)\n\nOmission\n\nMr. Lim: Middle of p. 10. The point is - the boy and the girl she saw thrown in by the Appellant were the same boy and the same girl she saw rescued.\n\nBottom of page 15 of the Judge's note - confirms above. Next evidence of Dr. Valentine on page 3 of Judge's note.... Death due to fracture of skull etc. Cause of death was fall from a height of 6 ft. on page 5. In answer to my cross-examination, line from the top 'wound on head more consistent with fall from height etc.'\n\nEvidence of Mrs. Valentine and Mrs. Thompson and the tunnel episode - not much importance attached to this. Evidence of motive two-fold (1) 3 letters found in Appellant's basket and (2) statement he made to Police Magistrate \"I commit suicide because I have no money.\" Question of drink does not concern the Court of Appeal.

Mary must have seen accused on bridge).\n\nPoint of Mrs. Fairburn's evidence where she said she was convinced that the children were in the same position as she expected when they were rescued.\n\nMr. Bar: This point is important. It was not in the Judge's note, one of the reasons she thought that the children were the same because they were in the same position where she expected them to be. I remember that evidence very clearly.\n\nMr. Fraser: Mrs Fairburn thought these children were the same on two grounds - (1) they were the same position in which she would expect to find the children and (2) because they were wearing similar clothes. She said she could not see the nullah from the bridge, also that she could not see the accused after he jumped in the nullah. I put it to the jury that they were open to think these two children were the same Mrs. Fairburn saw thrown in i.e. Mary Bromley and Tony Foo.\n\nWhere\n\nI am sorry to have taken up so much time.\n\nThere are some points which my friend raised and which I think I must answer,\n\nwith regard to Cohen's case that was mentioned by my friend. 2 Cr. Appeal Reports p.197, s. 4 ss 1 of the Cr. Appeal at p.207.\n\nMy friend read this out to you so I will not read it again. I would point out that to bring the beginning of that paragraph into effect there must be a wrong decision of a question of law. Assuming a wrong decision of a question of law then the rest of the paragraph takes effect. These words \"If there is a wrong decision of law\" govern the whole paragraph, That explains the difficulty which your lordship suggested to me when I read to you para 401 of Halsbury Vol. 9 p. 28.\n\nThere has been only one murder case in which an appeal has been set aside on that ground and that is the case of Ko Va - al lace which has already been quoted. There is another case which fits in with that case and that is the case of Winrles Sison,\n\n7 Cr. Appeal Reports page 45. That is a case where the conviction has been quashed where the verdict could not be supported by the evidence. There was also a misdirection.\n\nThe Wallace case is a step in advance of any case that has been taken before. That is as far as a Court of Criminal Appeal have so far gone.\n\nThere is the case of R v. Barron which was mentioned by my friend, 3 Cr. Ann. sal Reports p. 238, page 239. That case has already been read by my friend and I ask Your lordships to consider the whole of that page when making up your minds. That was a case of sodomy. Nothing was said in the summing up about the necessity for corroboration, and evidence of a previous examination of the same boy in June was improperly admitted.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-550-7 Rex v.

These three tests are applicable to a case where there was a misdirection on fact.\n\n-\n\nMr. Fraser Agrees. Strongly objected originally to my suggestion that onus in case should rest on Crown to prove that Jury came to a conclusion. Then I understand that my friend does not suggest that that part of the paragraph applies in any case whatever.\n\nSir. Lamb: The first part applies to where there was a misdirection of law.

We feel it impossible to say with any certainty that they would. The only judgment, therefore, that we can give is that the appeal must be allowed.\n\nIf there is a misdirection there is a miscarriage of justice. I submit in this case before your lordships there is a miscarriage of justice due to the fact that certain pieces of evidence, I am referring to the evidence of Mary Pine, had been mentioned to the jury in the Crown's opening and misdirection was in reference to that evidence.\n\nAgain I quarrel with my friend. My friend stated all my arguments.\n\nThat is a particularly incorrect statement. Calls attention to Hepworth 4 Cr. App Cal.\n\nMr. Lim: That comes under the other heading - that would be cases where the Court came to the conclusion that there was no miscarriage of justice. 2 Halsbury, p.276 para 405.\n\nThe next ground of appeal is that the defence was seriously prejudiced.\n\nAgain I submit that the authorities quoted by my friend yesterday were all cases in which the evidence which was disclosed to the jury or given before the jury, either intentionally or accidentally, could be successfully removed from the minds of the jury by the judge's warning.\n\nR. v. Jucas, Ur. Aunell n. 234. Bastardy proceeding. The jury was committed at the Bastardy Proceeding in reference to 3 letters. Evidence ample - corroborated.

Accidentally disclosed to jury. Here again I submit that this piece of evidence which was disclosed to the Jury could be successfully removed from the minds of the jury by the warning from the trial judge.

Appeal Rep 166.\n\nOr, Appeal Rep 166, Head Note. \"When a defendant has been asked an inadmissible question which the judge has disallowed, the Court will consider in each case whether the prejudice created against the defendant by such question, has been sufficiently dispelled by the judge.\n\n169 That is sufficient.

I understand he is being given a hearing under Chinese auspices in various parts of Canada.

He is a friend of mine but is certainly not the man to be trusted with any significant information.\n\nAs for Mrs. Zaitzeff I hope there will be no complications about arranging for her maintenance in Canada; she deserves well of us and is now in rather a difficult spot in this country.

I am arranging for each of them who write reports to send them, as you suggested, to our office with a brief identifying note.\n\nThe matter I mentioned to you over the telephone was this; one of the Canadian exchange people was Morris Cohen whom the press here (with more truth than they knew) called \"an almost legendary figure\". General \"Two-gun\" Cohen was, as I suppose you know, Sun Yat Sen's bodyguard for many years; he enjoys a courtesy military title from the Chinese and (I believe) a small pension. I have known him pretty well for a number of years; he is an amiable old fake.\n\nHis story is that he approached me here in Shanghai two days ago for \"advice\"; he refused evacuation with Madame Sun Yat Sen at the start of the Hong Kong battle because he was engaged in secret work for the British Government. The implication is that we are now responsible for his maintenance in this country. He displayed odds and ends of knowledge about our \"cloak and dagger\" boys in the Far East to show that he was on the inside. Someone may in a loose moment have asked him to do something for us in China; if they did, I know nothing of it, and am certain in any case that it wasn't a very serious proposition.\n\nHis approach to me may possibly have been an attempt to draw me out and to add to the skeleton of unimportant knowledge he already had; if so, it was easily dealt with. I advised him that if he thought he had a claim on us he should write officially to your office and set it out in detail; it could then be checked in London.\n\nAnd this note is merely to let you know beforehand in case he does approach you by letter or in person.\n\nA.

Special Branch and Major, Superintendent and Director Special Branch were removed for 19 and 10 days respectively for questioning by the Japanese. For the greater part of these periods they were confined with General Cohen in the Prisoners Cells at the Kowloon Magistracy. The Japanese seemed to consider Elston the more important owing to his age. They harped on the idea that Hongkong was the centre of a great Far Eastern espionage net. They exhibited little interest in what the Special Branch knew about Chungking agents. I did not discuss with Elston but Major informed me that his questioning seemed rather futile. Both were suffering from the effects of lengthy incarceration and poor food on their return to the Camp. There have not to date been any repercussions insofar as Shaftan A.S.P. was concerned.\"\n\nGeneral Cohen was released to Stanley at the same time as Major and Elston after some 15 days imprisonment. He has kept his own counsel as far as I am aware on the nature of his questioning.\n\nParagraph 30 - Japanese behaviour.\n\nQuoting from Thompson's notes: \"Mrs. Priestwood has a first-hand account from a lady who was present when four European nurses (this number is incorrect, there were many more) were taken from the temporary hospital in the Jockey Club Stands at Happy Valley and allegedly raped by nine Japanese soldiers. This lady escaped from the hospital and the matter was subsequently reported to a high Japanese Military Official.

He said that M.W.T. believe Mr. Coleman to be the right man for our purpose but that in view of the importance of the work he is at present doing in Basra, they could not recommend his release until the end of the year. They suggested that if the decision as to a Chairman could wait until then, the Ministry would be very glad to give the Advisory Committee any technical help that they could. The difficulty as I see it is that our need for a prospective Chairman who in the meanwhile can work on the preparation of plans for the rehabilitation of the Harbour and that it will be some time before it will be possible to collect personnel for the Trust for an Advisory Committee if that is set up prior to the Trust proper.\n\n&\n\n2.\n\nToday Mr. Cohen telephoned me again and said that a telegram had come in from Baghdad reporting that the Iraq Government were anxious to retain Mr. Coleman for another year and that he accepted their offer on the condition that he should have a few months leave in this country first. Mr. Cohen said that the M.W.T. felt that they must support this decision in view of the importance of the Port of Basra but asked whether we could make use of Mr. Coleman for a few months this summer.\n\n3.\n\nMr. Cohen emphasised that he was speaking in his M.W.T. capacity. He suggested that he and one or two colleagues from the M.W.T. should come here to discuss this problem. I said that we should be grateful and promised to suggest a date.

Reid of the Ministry of War Transport met Mr. Gent, Mr. Caine, Mr. Mayle, Mr. MacDougall, Mr. Rouse and myself today to consider the possibility of securing the services of Mr. Coleman as Chairman of the proposed Hong Kong Harbour Trust.\n\nIt was agreed that decisions would have to be taken on a number of important issues during the next 12 months in connection with Hong Kong Harbour, and that therefore it was most desirable that Mr. Coleman should be available before the beginning of 1947. Mr. Reid explained that the Ministry of War Transport felt bound to press for Mr. Coleman's retention in Iraq until the time when agreement had been reached, in principle, at any rate, with the Iraqi Government, proposals concerning a Conservancy Board in that country. He agreed however, that the M.W.T. should recommend to the Foreign Office that Mr. Coleman should not be committed to the further 12 months' contract with the Iraqi Government, but that his present contract with them should be extended on a month to month basis. Once agreement had been reached in principle with the Iraqi Government, the M.W.T. might feel able to recommend that Mr. Coleman should be released. It was possible that agreement would be reached by the Autumn, but of course no firm date could be given.\n\nIt was agreed that an official corresponding to a Secretary to the Trust would ultimately be required and it was proposed that a suitable man should be sought now who could act as number two to Mr. Coleman, work with the latter during his four months' leave from July and be available for advising the Hong Kong Planning Unit during the period of Mr. Coleman's return to Iraq. The difficulty of finding a number two was, however, almost as great as finding a Chairman, and it was a matter on which Mr. Coleman himself would probably have views. It was therefore agreed that the next step should be for an approach to be made to Mr. Coleman to ascertain his own reaction to the proposed offer to him and then to seek his advice as to the practicability of the plan proposed. Mr. Cohen expects to leave for India about the middle of May, and it was agreed that he should see Mr. Coleman in Iraq on the way and put these matters to him if it had not been possible to arrange for Mr. Coleman to pay a flying visit to this country before then. Mr. Reid undertook to take up with the Foreign Office this latter possibility which would of course be preferable.\n\nMr. Reid also undertook meanwhile to approach the War Office in regard to the possibility of securing the release of someone qualified to fill the number two post. An approach to the Dock and Harbour Association was suggested, but it was thought that this was not likely to be very fruitful and might be left until other possible sources had failed.\n\nThe names of Mr. Carter (recently in charge of the Port of Lagos) and Mr. Duncan Kennedy (who accompanied Sir David Owen on the visit to Hong Kong in 1941 and assisted in the resulting report) were suggested\n\nPage 10\n\nPage 11", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-592-9 Future Policy in Hong Kong- Port Administration 13-1-1945 - 4-3-1946.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 579844, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-592-9 Future Policy in Hong Kong- Port Administration 13-1-1945 - 4-3-1946", "page_number": 11, "title": "CO129-592-9 Future Policy in Hong Kong- Port Administration 13-1-1945 - 4-3-1946", "content_text": "13\n\nsuggested as possible candidates for the number two post.

He pointed out that in paragraph 5 of our telegram at (14), we had said that the cost of Mr. Colman's journey would be met by H.M.G. Subsequently, Mr. Cohen called, having seen Mr. Colman in Basra within the past day or so. Mr. Cohen said that Mr. Colman was a very rich man and that he did not think for a moment there was any suggestion that H.M.G. should pay more than the normal subsistence rate. This I find from Mr. Lamacq is 25/- a day in London. Admiral Bromley has very kindly used his good offices to secure accommodation for Mr. Colman at the Dorchester for a week from June 13th. I have, therefore, suggested to Mr. Wikeley that a reply should be sent to (21) saying that a room has been engaged as desired but that H.M.G. can only pay expenses at the normal rates, i.e., 25/- a night.\n\n2.\n\nI had thought when we received the telegram at (20) that we should get in touch with Mr. Cohen in India and tell him that it would not be necessary for him to return via Basra after all, as Mr. Colman was arranging to fly back for a short visit. In fact, however, even if we had acted at once, we should have been too late to catch Mr. Cohen, who left India earlier than was expected. As it turns out, his meeting with Mr. Colman has not been wasted, since it has enabled him to put forward the suggestions given in his note at (22).\n\n3.\n\nIt is expected that Mr. Colman will be here for 3 weeks or a month at most, and if the best use is to be made of his time, it is essential that we should be ready with our plans.\n\nH. ht\n\n7th June, 1945", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-592-9 Future Policy in Hong Kong- Port Administration 13-1-1945 - 4-3-1946.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 579848, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-592-9 Future Policy in Hong Kong- Port Administration 13-1-1945 - 4-3-1946", "page_number": 15, "title": "CO129-592-9 Future Policy in Hong Kong- Port Administration 13-1-1945 - 4-3-1946", "content_text": "Harbours\n\nwith I'm assistance of the advisory\n\nChulter\n\nSir G. Gater.\n\nIn your minute of the 23rd of March you authorised us to go ahead with consultations with the Ministry of War Transport on a proposal to appoint a Full-time officer who would become Head of the Hong Kong Harbour Trust, recommended in Sir David Owen's Report, and who would in the meantime proceed with the preparation of plans for the rehabilitation and re-organisation of Hong Kong Harbour Services on the lines recommended by Sir David Owen.\n\nAs a result of our consultations with the Ministry of War Transport, it is proposed that a Mr. Colman, at present serving as Chairman of the Port of Basrah, should be selected for this post if he is willing to take it on. As to this, Mr. Cohen (the Chief Planner of the Singapore and Penang Harbours) was authorised to sound Mr. Colman in the course of his recent visit to India. Mr. Colman is attracted by this prospect and has arranged to come home for discussions with us and is due to arrive next Wednesday. He will, however, only be in London for a short time (probably a month) after which he will have to return to Basrah until the end of the year. We understand from Mr. Cohen that Mr. Colman will not wish to continue his service in Basrah after that date when he may become available to us.\n\nThe difficulty has been to devise machinery for this planning work which would function, under Mr. Colman's direction, even while Mr. Colman is not in this country.\n\nThis matter has been discussed with Mr. Gent, Mr. Cohen and representatives of the H.K.P.U. and we have come to the conclusion that the only workable arrangement would be something on the following lines.\n\nMr. Colman would require a small permanent staff consisting of an Administrative Assistant who would ultimately become the Secretary of the Harbours Trust. He would also require some Technical Assistants (a Marine Adviser and a Civil Engineer), but this Technical Assistance can as an interim measure be provided by the staff of the H.K.P.U.\n\nIn addition, it is felt that there should be an Advisory Committee, representing the users of the Port, in the same way as Mr. Cohen's own Malayan Planning Unit is assisted by such a Committee.\n\nThe conception is that, if Mr. Colman is agreeable to taking on the job, and approves this machinery, he should before returning to Basrah, lay down the broad lines of policy, to be worked out by the Committee in London with the assistance of the staff to be provided; and that thereafter the Secretary should communicate with him in Basrah as may be necessary for further guidance in the work of planning.\n\nAs Mr. Colman's time in London will be so short, we shall want this machinery to start working as soon as possible after he has expressed his agreement with it. I should therefore now be glad to have your approval.\n\n15\n\nyour", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-592-9 Future Policy in Hong Kong- Port Administration 13-1-1945 - 4-3-1946.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 579851, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-592-9 Future Policy in Hong Kong- Port Administration 13-1-1945 - 4-3-1946", "page_number": 18, "title": "CO129-592-9 Future Policy in Hong Kong- Port Administration 13-1-1945 - 4-3-1946", "content_text": "54145/1/1.\n\n18\n\nI saw Mr. Winnifrith (Treasury) yesterday about this and he agreed that we should go ahead with the setting up of this organization on the basis, as to salaries, indicated in my minute of the 8th May.

I therefore outlined to him our ideas as set out in my minute of the 8th of June. I explained that what we desired was someone who with the assistance of the suggested Advisory Committee could lay down policies on the lines indicated in the Sir David Owen Report, supervise the working out of the details, and, when the time comes, be responsible for putting these plans into effect. I explained that there had not previously been a Harbour Board and that it was therefore necessary to create this new piece of machinery. It was necessary that this planning should be begun as soon as possible but we hoped that if, as we expected, Mr. Coleman had to return to Iraq until the end of the year, it would then be possible for a small planning committee with a nucleus staff to be working on the details. I had in mind the engagement of an officer on a three-year contract and that while the post would be a civilian one, it would be necessary to co-operate closely with the military authorities during the period of military administration.\n\nMr. Coleman explained his own position very frankly. He said that his contract with the Iraq Government expired at the end of this year but that as he was due for six months' leave, he had hoped in fact to come home at the beginning of July. He said that the Iraq Government had been pressing him to undertake a further period of service with them, but that he was looking forward to retirement and had at first refused their offers. More recently, however, he had said that he would continue in the service of the Iraq Government for a further year if they would agree to increased terms. This had been accepted and would give him a salary of approximately £3,500. It was very soon afterwards, I gathered, that Mr. Coleman first received our suggestions for an appointment in Hong Kong.\n\nHe was attracted to this idea because he would prefer to finish his career in the service of the British Government rather than that of the Iraq Government. He therefore went to the Iraq Government and told them of this other offer and said that he must be free to consider it.\n\nMr. Coleman is an attractive Dickensian character who I think would like to accept the appointment which we have in mind for him. (On the question of salary he suggested the figure of £3,750 which is within the ceiling approved by the Treasury.) The impression he gave to Miss Ruston and myself, however, was that he did not wish to undertake any onerous or exacting work. On the mention of a three-year contract he immediately said that he would not wish to be bound for longer than", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-592-9 Future Policy in Hong Kong- Port Administration 13-1-1945 - 4-3-1946.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 579854, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-592-9 Future Policy in Hong Kong- Port Administration 13-1-1945 - 4-3-1946", "page_number": 21, "title": "CO129-592-9 Future Policy in Hong Kong- Port Administration 13-1-1945 - 4-3-1946", "content_text": "21\n\n(Conceivably, he might be selected as Traffic Manager and found suitable for the higher post).\n\n29\n\n(6)\n\nI formed the impression very strongly that Mr. Coleman would find it very difficult to work amicably with the military authorities. So much so that he talked of coming on leave during the military period as they would be so dictatorial that there would be \"nothing for him to do in Hong Kong.\" This is in marked contrast to the intentions of Mr. Cohen who foresees a period of intensive activity for himself in Singapore during the corresponding period, when he would be in close touch with the service authorities and preparing the way for a smooth transition to civil control of the port.\n\nI have this morning seen Mr. Cohen who recommended Mr. Coleman to us and told him of our impressions. Mr. Cohen at once took the line that no matter how qualified on paper he might be, it would be most undesirable to appoint Mr. Coleman in the circumstances. He was sure that the Ministry of War Transport would hold the same view.\n\nWe had high hopes of Mr. Coleman and this is a disappointing conclusion. The more so because it seems most unlikely that we shall be able to find anyone elsewhere of his calibre in the immediate future. In these circumstances Mr. Cohen has recommended, and I agree, that we should proceed on an alternative plan. It is that instead of now attempting to engage a Chairman designate for the Harbour Trust, we should engage one of the less experienced men who are available who should be asked to undertake the planning which is necessary in conjunction with Mr. Rouse and other experts as and when they may be collected. The sort of status suggested is that of a Traffic Manager (an appointment which will in fact be required later on). In a year's time it should be easier to find a man of the desirable calibre to become Chairman of the Trust: I understand from Mr. Cohen that there are now a number of Transport Officers in the army ranking as Colonels and Brigadiers whose release should be comparatively easy and who would be qualified to undertake this type of work. In consultation with the Ministry of War Transport he has suggested the names of possible candidates (list not attached).\n\n29\n\nThe salary suggested for such an appointment is about £1500. It is envisaged that such an officer could, in association with the Hong Kong Planning Unit, begin planning as soon as he can be released. There would still be a need for the Advisory Committee to hammer out the issues of policy, but I suggest that (at any rate till he goes abroad) the Chairman of the Committee should be Mr. Rouse of the Hong Kong Planning Unit. This solution may be the easier to effect since we are now in touch with a candidate who seems admirable for the post of Secretary and Administrative Officer (who, it is anticipated, would ultimately become Secretary to the Trust).", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-592-9 Future Policy in Hong Kong- Port Administration 13-1-1945 - 4-3-1946.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 579992, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-592-9 Future Policy in Hong Kong- Port Administration 13-1-1945 - 4-3-1946", "page_number": 159, "title": "CO129-592-9 Future Policy in Hong Kong- Port Administration 13-1-1945 - 4-3-1946", "content_text": "224\n\nMr. Gent\n\nCopies\n\nSant\n\nyn Rouse 12\n\nto in Gent & Mu\n\nThe annexed note by Mr. Cohen was\n\n159\n\ndictated by him after a talk he had with Miss Rus ton and me this morning.\n\nThe general conclusion which we reached\n\nwas that the arrangements for planning the\n\nrestoration and re-organisation of harbour facilities in Hong Kong, in accordance with Sir David Owen's recommendations, should be on lines similar to those which have been made for Singapore and Penang, i.e. a small civilian planning unit, with an Advisory Committee. It was thought that the staff\n\nof the unit should consist of a Secretary, a Marine Adviser and a Civil Engineer and that this nucleus staff should work in close association with (and be physically housed with) the H.K.P.U., even when it is militarised. Mr. Cohen was confident that, with such a set up the work could continue without very great difficulty even after Mr. Coleman's return to Basra.\n\nIt would, however, only be possible for this arrangement to function efficiently if, before Mr. Colman returns to Basra he could spend some little time in London with his nucleus staff and his Advisory Committee. This would enable the broad lines of the planning to be decided upon and detailed directions to be given as to the planning work to be done on particular items.\n\nAs Mr. Colman's time in London will, however, be limited, this can only be achieved if we are prepared with a fairly cut and dried scheme for this organisation ready to be placed before him immediately on his arrival. If then he agrees to take on the job and we are able to agree with him on the machinery required, we shall then have to move very rapidly indeed in assembling it if it is to be able to function while he is still in this country.\n\nYou have agreed to discuss these proposals at 3.30 p.m. on Friday afternoon at a meeting at which Mr. Cohen will be present and at which the H.K.P.U. will be represented by Mr. Rouse and Mr. Rowell.\n\n2.2.P\n\n6th June, 1945", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-592-9 Future Policy in Hong Kong- Port Administration 13-1-1945 - 4-3-1946.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 579995, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-592-9 Future Policy in Hong Kong- Port Administration 13-1-1945 - 4-3-1946", "page_number": 162, "title": "CO129-592-9 Future Policy in Hong Kong- Port Administration 13-1-1945 - 4-3-1946", "content_text": "MINISTRY OF WAR TRANSPORT, TELEX, LONDON.\n\nTelephone: ABBEY 7711\n\nEXTL.\n\nOur Reference: 54145/1/45\n\nYour Reference:\n\nMINISTRY OF WAR TRANSPORT,\n\nBERKELEY SQUARE HOUSE, 162\n\nLONDON, W.1.\n\n17th May, 1945.\n\nDear Miss Ruston,\n\nThank you for your letter of 16th May about Mr. Colman.\n\nAs I advised you by telephone this morning, the Foreign Office have received a reply to telegram No.225 of 3rd May to the effect that Mr. Colman is very interested in your proposal but cannot discuss it until he returns on leave about the 15th July.\n\nUnder the circumstances I am asking the Foreign Office to telegraph Baghdad about Mr. Cohen's short visit as it is just as well that Colman should have information about the Hongkong appointment to enable him to consider it before he returns to the U.K.\n\nYours sincerely,\n\nAlan Reid\n\nPort and Transit Control.\n\nMiss Ruston,\n\nColonial Office,\n\nLONDON, S.W.1.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-592-9 Future Policy in Hong Kong- Port Administration 13-1-1945 - 4-3-1946.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 579996, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-592-9 Future Policy in Hong Kong- Port Administration 13-1-1945 - 4-3-1946", "page_number": 163, "title": "CO129-592-9 Future Policy in Hong Kong- Port Administration 13-1-1945 - 4-3-1946", "content_text": "54145/1/45\n\nA\n\nColonial Office,\n\nDowning Street,\n\nS.W.1.\n\n16th May, 1945\n\n163\n\nDear Mr. Reid,\n\nAs it may well be that we shall not succeed in getting Mr. Coleman back for the brief conversation on the question of obtaining his services for the Hong Kong Harbour Trust as proposed in Foreign Office telegram No. 225 of the 3rd of May before he comes on leave and Mr. Cohen leaves for India at the end of this week, we think we should take advantage of his offer to see Mr. Coleman on his return journey.

His main recommendation was that various functions which were distributed among a number of Government Departments should be centralised in a Harbour Authority to be called the Hong Kong Harbour Trust.\n\n3.\n\nThe questions at issue are not therefore of the radical character of those which are under consideration in relation to the Malayan Ports, and it was agreed that there was no need to refer them to the Communications Sub-Committee of the E.A.C.\n\n4. As to what other advice should be sought, it was agreed that we should consult M.W.T. and that a copy of our letter to that Department should be sent to the Admiralty in order to give that Department an opportunity to comment if they so desire.\n\n5. As regards the comments on policy to be included in the letter to the M.W.T. it was agreed that, as we have on record the Governor's despatch of 15/8/41 (No. 7 on 53995/1/41) recommending the adoption of the Report (with some comparatively insignificant modifications) after full discussion locally, and as we in the Colonial Office see no reason to dissent from that recommendation, it should be stated in the letter to the M.W.T. that, subject to their concurrence, it is proposed to adopt the recommendations in the Report subject to the modifications proposed by the Governor.\n\n6.\n\nHitherto we had been disposed to think that the question of the renewal of the private wharf leases, which are due to expire in 1949, was bound up with the question of the adoption of the recommendations in the Owen Report. It is however now agreed that that is not the case, and that the question of the wharf leases can be considered separately.\n\n7. As regards the machinery for considering that and other matters relating to the rehabilitation of the port and harbour services, it was agreed that, if it is decided to adopt the Owen Report, the best course would be to appoint, as soon as possible, a full-time paid Chairman designate of the new Port Trust, and that he should be provided with a small staff to get on with the planning in much the same way as Mr. Cohen and his staff are beginning to plan for the restoration of the Port and Harbour Service at Singapore and Penang.

Matters arising out of the first Report of the Agenda Sub-Committee.\n\n(a) Suggestion that the Sub-Committee should draw up a list of subjects it wishes to discuss:\n\nLord Hailey said that there was one subject which was frequently referred to in connection with communications, namely the comparative advantages in modern conditions of rail and road development. It would be useful to make a study of this question: various people had worked out the cost per ton per mile under the two alternative systems, but of course there were many other factors to be taken into account. Mr. Spiller had prepared an informative paper on Railway Development for another Committee. This paper also dealt with the competition between road and rail systems. It might be useful to let the Sub-Committee see a copy of the paper.\n\nThe road versus rail question would arise in connection with development schemes: there were always some people who wanted railways and others who thought that roads would serve all purposes. There was a subsidiary question of the extent to which road traffic should be controlled in the interests of the railways, and what principles should be followed there: whether the railway should be regarded as a commercial proposition that must bear its own capital charges or whether it should be operated as a public utility service in such a way that road traffic need not be restricted because the railway did not pay.\n\nMr. Bigg said that the study of this question was one of the tasks with which his department was charged. A memorandum...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-592-9 Future Policy in Hong Kong- Port Administration 13-1-1945 - 4-3-1946.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 580019, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-592-9 Future Policy in Hong Kong- Port Administration 13-1-1945 - 4-3-1946", "page_number": 186, "title": "CO129-592-9 Future Policy in Hong Kong- Port Administration 13-1-1945 - 4-3-1946", "content_text": "186\n\nindividual territories and which indicated principles which could be applied elsewhere. On the other hand the Office was looking also for the solution of practical problems and he felt that in this case the emphasis was rather more on the particular than on the general. Malaya was in many ways different from most other Colonies and, owing to its unfortunate recent history, likely to present a very special and urgent problem.\n\nMr. Gent agreed that this was a matter of some urgency. No mention had so far been made of coastal shipping, which came in quite strongly with roads and railways in Malaya. The Committee should know, although it was confidential, that the old system, whereby the railway was an F.M.S. railway and Port Swettenham a railway port, while Singapore and Penang were controlled by Harbour Boards, would in any case be upset and would have to be adapted owing to the constitutional rearrangements now contemplated for Malaya.\n\nMr. Cohen hoped that the Sub-Committee would bear in mind the important broad principles hinted at by Lord Hailey. The ports were the bottle-necks of the trade of the territory and in order that particular interests might be subordinated to the interests of the community as a whole, it was desirable that the ports should come under the central Government rather than the local Governments, and that their control should be in the hands of the users constituted in the form of Boards. Perhaps the local problems of Malaya could be considered with that background and with that attitude to ports in general.\n\nAt the suggestion of the Chairman the Sub-Committee discussed co-option.\n\nIt was suggested that the Sub-Committee should hear the views of representatives of the railways, dock authorities, and industries concerned in the trade.\n\nIt was agreed that, since most of the people whose views the Sub-Committee would most wish to hear would be personally interested, it would be better not to co-opt them but to ask them to come and give evidence.\n\nGeneral Hone said that the feeling in the Malayan Planning Unit was that the commercial interests served by these ports were not in this country: Indian, Chinese and Malay interests were practically non-existent in this country at the moment; some were in India, but a large number of people vitally affected by the arrangements were still in Malaya. Therefore, although personally he would welcome a study of the various alternatives, set out in Part II of the Colonial Office memorandum, giving the pros and cons, his Unit felt that any final decision must await their return to Malaya. On this, however, there was a difference of opinion between the Colonial Office and the M.P.U. He did not think that that debarred the Sub-Committee from investigating principles and alternatives, but he thought a final decision on the matter at this stage would be premature.\n\nMr. Gent thought that the Sub-Committee, having heard the witnesses, could judge whether they were sufficiently representative. He personally thought that a good many users of road, rail and coastal shipping were available in England; not Orientals, but people in the Oriental business who could give a pretty good idea of what the interests of those producers were in the matter of transportation. M.P.U. was a body concerned with the brief, as they hoped, period of military administration and with military interests during that period. The Colonial Office was concerned with the long-term aspect. They wanted to have a policy, however provisional, so that the Military, during their period of administration, might as far as possible do\n\n4\n\nnothing", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-592-9 Future Policy in Hong Kong- Port Administration 13-1-1945 - 4-3-1946.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 580020, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-592-9 Future Policy in Hong Kong- Port Administration 13-1-1945 - 4-3-1946", "page_number": 187, "title": "CO129-592-9 Future Policy in Hong Kong- Port Administration 13-1-1945 - 4-3-1946", "content_text": "187\n\nnothing to conflict with that policy, and even start getting it under\n\nTay. M.P.U. was, if he might say so, rather under the influence of the railway companies, because the engineering staff was particularly strong in the railway element. There was, for instance, no representative of the Fort Authorities or of the Road Authorities.\n\nGeneral Hone asked whether there was on the personnel of the Sub-Committee a transportation expert. He was thinking of someone like Sir Osborne Mance,\n\nThe Chairman said that he himself had had lifelong experience of the railway side and, between them, the members of the Sub-Committee knew a good deal about transport; but he thought the Sub-Committee should regard itself in this case as a judicial body and try to be unbiassed. He suggested that it might be helpful to ask someone from South Africa House. South Africa had had for some years a Railway and Harbour Board which also dealt with air transport.\n\nLord Hailey said that Dr. Frankel, the economist, who was at present in this country and who could be contacted through Chatham House, had made an investigation of this question on behalf of the South African railways. He was not connected with the Government and could give an expert outside view.\n\nMr. Caine asked whether the Ministry of War Transport would wish to express any view officially.\n\nMr. Cohen did not think the Ministry of War Transport would regard itself as having any right to express a view, because its life in its present form was limited. The Ministry would be very pleased to give advice, but one had to be careful especially on the road-rail issue which was political.\n\nMr. Caine said that he was thinking more of the shipping side, as the Ministry represented the Mercantile Marine side of the Board of Trade.\n\nGeneral Hone hoped that the Sub-Committee would hear what some of his officers had to say. Although the interests of M.P.U. were purely short term, many of the officers hoped to take off their uniforms eventually and revert to their Colonial Service employment.\n\nAfter further discussion the Sub-Committee agreed on the following list of witnesses to be invited.\n\nA representative from the M.P.U.\n\nA representative of the Malayan Dock Authorities\n\nSir Osborne Mance\n\n1.\n\n2.\n\n3.\n\n4.\n\n(a)\n\n5.\n\n6.\n\nRepresentatives of shipping interests\n\nA representative from the British India Navigation Company Limited;\n\n(a) Mr. Wurtzburg, to represent the local coastal shipping interests.\n\nDr. S.

A table of salaries at (11) clarifies the issue.\n\n2. Your minute of 26/6 suggests a salary for Sister Tutors and does not refer to \"Supervisor and Training Officer for Health Visitors and Welfare Nurses,\" the cumbersome title for one of the two posts to which (10) refers. Perhaps your mention of Sister Tutor is a clerical error, for you will doubtless recollect that the revised salary for Sister Tutors has been agreed. The Salaries Commission proposed for Sister Tutors the Senior Nursing Sister scale plus a non-pensionable allowance of $60 per mensem. At our instance, the Governor agreed to make this allowance pensionable and to incorporate it in the salary scale - hence the scale for Sister Tutors is parallel to that for Senior Nursing Sisters, but $60 per mensem higher throughout.\n\n3. The proposal in your minute of 26/6 would, in effect, introduce an additional scale, viz., the Nursing Sisters scale plus a pensionable allowance of $80 per mensem.\n\n4. The Governor's proposal does not introduce the complication of an additional scale but equates the salaries for the two posts in question here with two existing (revised) scales. The Health Visitor scale is equated with the Senior Nursing Sister scale (which was considered the equivalent scale when Miss Wilson was appointed last year). The Supervisor and Training Officer scale is equated with the Sister Tutor scale, a little higher than the Senior Nursing Sister's scale, but considerably below the revised Principal Almoner scale, on the old scale of which post Miss Burne was appointed last year.\n\n5. The Governor's proposal is straightforward and seems to fit in with the revised salary structure. Assuming that the responsibilities of a Health Visitor can be roughly equated with those of a Senior Nursing Sister and those of a Supervisor and Training Officer with those of a Tutor Sister (as to which I am not qualified to offer an opinion), the simplest course would be to approve the Governor's proposal, pointing out his error referred to at X of Mr. Radford's minute above.\n\n6. In view of Dr. Cruikshank's minute of 21/6, we can also agree to the Governor's recommendation as to the point of entry to these two scales of Miss Burne and Miss Wilson, respectively.\n\n7. If you and Dr. Cruikshank agree, would you please pass the draft, which I have put in to crystallize the issue? I have made it a telegram because the Governor asks for an early reply.\n\nJ.\n\n## Dr. Cruikshank\n\nI am sorry to trouble you with this again. I mentioned Sister Tutors in my previous minute with the object of suggesting that Hong Kong should fall into line with the African Colonies, both as regards the remuneration of Sister Tutors and Health Visitors. I had no comment to make on the scale proposed for the Supervisor and Training Officer, etc., since the scale proposed appeared to me to be suitable.\n\nI do not see any serious objection to what is proposed for the Health Visitor. It may appear that it will be generously paid as compared with the ordinary Nursing Sister, but a Nursing Sisters scale in Hong Kong is quite short and covers a period of 7 years only. It would undoubtedly be necessary, in any event, to appoint a Health Visitor well above the minimum, in addition to the payment of an allowance of £60 per annum. Moreover, a starting salary of £480 per annum, plus expatriation pay of $25 per annum, is not excessive, bearing in mind conditions in Hong Kong.\n\nUnless you have no further comments, therefore, I agree that this proposal might be approved as in the attached draft.\n\n## Mr. Nicholls to see after action\n\nTo 14 July, 1948.\n\n1577/48 \nTel: 717 \n\n## Gov. tel. 262 Saw.

Instead of dispersing its efforts in the training of Civil, Mechanical and Electrical engineers, the University will concentrate on the training of Civil Engineers and Architects and thus more effectively meet the demands of the Colony.\n\nIII MEDICINE.\n\nThe re-organization of medical teaching that must follow from the Cohen Report affects undergraduate teaching at many points and makes adequate provision for post-graduate teaching essential. These ends can partly, but only partly, be achieved when we have our own teaching hospital by getting the aid, as Honorary Readers, of specialists in private practice in the Colony. The following are the essential needs:\n\n(i) A Professorship in Social Medicine which becomes a major subject in undergraduate teaching.\n\n(ii) Readers in Bacteriology, Gynaecology, Surgery, Medicine and Child Health. We may hope that three of these may be Honorary Readerships.\n\n(iii) We should have additional Lectureships in Gynaecology, Medicine and Surgery but our resources are not sufficient. Soon, however, a Lecturer in Anaesthetics will have to be appointed.\n\nIV. SCIENCE.\n\n(i) Additional Lectureships in Chemistry, Physics, Botany and Zoology, and Biochemistry are wanted for the development of these Departments but our income will not run to them.\n\n(ii) Additional Demonstrators in Botany, Chemistry, Physics and Zoology will be needed to deal with the numbers of students we shall have to teach.\n\n(iii) Biochemistry both for itself and as a foundation study for Medicine should become an independent Department with a Reader and a Lecturer; but again, funds may not be available for such a Department.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-610-3 Rehabilitation of Hong Kong University 15-2-1949 - 7-2-1950.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 593843, "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": "CO129-616-2 Hong Kong War Memorial Fund (Amendment) Ordinance 1948 6-2-1948 - 16-11-1948", "page_number": 4, "title": "CO129-616-2 Hong Kong War Memorial Fund (Amendment) Ordinance 1948 6-2-1948 - 16-11-1948", "content_text": "## 7.
