That for many years past the inefficiency of the Police Force of this Colony has been a fruitful source of discontent to the Inhabitants and has given rise to repeated representations to the local Government through the medium of the newspaper press, in the Legislative Council, from the Judicial bench, and otherwise.\n\n2. That various attempts have been made at different times by successive Governors of the Colony to increase the efficiency of the Police and satisfy the well-grounded requirements of the Colonists by extensive changes in the constitution and composition of the force, by increasing its strength numerically, by raising the pay and improving the position of the officers and men, by legislation of an exceptional character directed against the criminal and dangerous classes, and by the enrolment of a corps of Chinese Watchmen appointed and partly paid by the Chinese householders and placed under the immediate authority of the Registrar General.\n\n3. That although the numerical strength of the Force has been thus increased from a grand total of 363 men in 1861 to a total of 628 men in 1871, and the Police expenditure has been augmented from $75,413.96 in the former year to $172,395.20 in the latter year, not only has no adequate improvement been effected in the value of the Police as a detective and preventive force, but it is a matter of notoriety, confessed and lamented equally by the Authorities and by the Inhabitants, that the state of the Police as regards efficiency is much worse now than at any former period.\n\n4. That Your Memorialists would respectfully point out for Your Lordship's consideration that while the Police expenditure has increased 117 per cent since 1861, and the numerical strength of the Force has nearly doubled, the population of the Colony is but little, if at all, in excess of the population in 1861. And further that the above increase in the cost of the Police does not represent the total expenditure, large sums being annually spent in buildings, &c., which appear in the Colonial accounts under the head of Works and Buildings.\n\n5. That at no former period in the history of the Colony, not even during the years 1857 and 1858 at the crisis of the last war with China, have life and property in Hongkong been so frightfully insecure as at the present time, and that the inability of the local Government to afford adequate protection to Your Memorialists, and to check the late enormous increase in the crimes of burglary and highway robbery and of all crimes accompanied by violence, has become so manifest that Your Petitioners, having totally failed to obtain from the Lieutenant-Governor of the Colony and his Executive Council that attention to their complaints and representations which the urgency of the case imperatively demands, have no resource but to memorialize Your Lordship.\n\n6. That in the first place Your Memorialists would assure Your Lordship that the annual returns published in the Hongkong Government Gazette, and doubtless on record in Your Lordship's office, are of little value as a means of judging of the real nature and extent of the crimes committed in this Colony. Burglaries, larcenies in dwelling houses, breaking, entering and stealing from warehouses and godowns, and robberies from the person with or without violence, are the offences of most frequent occurrence. They are and have been of daily occurrence, and in many, if not in the majority of the cases, no report is made to the Police, especially on the part of the Chinese, from the conviction that the Force is useless for detective purposes. Where the offenders have not been taken in the act, or where there exists no grave cause of suspicion against particular persons and the assistance of the Police need not, therefore, be specially invoked for their immediate arrest, no communication is as a rule made to the Central Station. Of the cases reported, not a tenth part are ever heard of again. There are few arrests and still fewer convictions, and the recovery of stolen property is simply hopeless.\n\n7. That Your Memorialists would in the next place, subject to what has been said in the last paragraph, call Your Lordship's most serious attention to the Report from the Captain Superintendent of Police in Hongkong for the year 1870. This was published in the Hongkong Government Gazette, No. 25 of the 24th June, 1871, and then only, although dated on the 30th of the previous January. That Report condemns the Hongkong Police Force as hopelessly faulty in its composition, as numerically weak despite the enormous annual expenditure, as totally worthless, the Europeans, the mainstay of the force, being given to excessive drinking, the West Indians being stupid and otherwise ill-qualified for their duties, and the Sikhs and Indians, knowing no English, being of little use, except where mere bodily strength and activity were required. That the Report called for an early and most serious consideration of the state of the Police Force, and if anything further had been needed to induce the Government to give the promptest and most earnest attention to Mr. Drake's recommendation, it was to be found in the Returns of Crime appended to the Report, imperfect as they were, and in the conclusions drawn by the Chief of the Police from the figures given in those Returns.\n\n8. There were reported to the Police in 1870:\n| Crime | Number of Cases |\n| --- | --- |\n| Murder | 3 |\n| Robbery from the person with violence | 192 |\n| Burglary and forcible entry into dwelling houses | 240 |\n| Assault with intent to rob | 4 |\n| Piracy | 13 |\n| Total violent offences | 456 |\n| Larceny | 343 |\n| Felonious nature not otherwise described | 147 |\n\nIn all 456 cases of violent offences of the gravest nature, in addition to 343 cases of larceny, and 147 cases of a felonious nature not otherwise described. Of the first-mentioned class of cases, as appears from the Abstract of Cases under the Cognizance of the Police Magistrates' Court during the year 1870, published in the Government Gazette No. 7 of the 18th February, there were only forty-seven in which arrests were made by the Police, and if there were convictions in each of the forty-seven cases, a result not clearly ascertainable from the returns above, the strong probability is that they were convictions more properly returnable under the Ordinances providing for the punishment of suspicious characters, than convictions for the offences themselves obtained on the evidence of reliable witnesses. Mr. Drake's Report on the Police Force for 1868, published in the Hongkong Government Gazette of the 17th April, 1869, is in its fifteenth paragraph, significantly suggestive on this point.\n\n9. Your Memorialists again assure Your Lordship that the figures given in the Report for 1870 do not accurately disclose the amount of crime committed in that year. It was much greater. Neither can Your Memorialists concur in Mr. Drake's assertion that there had been an increase of 78.8 per cent in serious offences during that year over the previous year. The amount of crime was undoubtedly less in 1869, but not to the extent indicated by Mr. Drake's figures. The difference was in the nature and extent of the records kept by the Police. Until 1870, as Your Memorialists gather from Acting Superintendent Concan's Report of the 30th March, 1870, published in the Hongkong Government Gazette, No. 16 of the 16th April, 1870, no reliable record had been kept of the number of cases, but he stated that forms were in course of preparation for that purpose.\n\n10. Whatever improvement there was, or appeared to be, in 1869 over previous years was the result not of any improvement in the organization of the Police Force or in its effective strength, but of the deterrent effect of the Ordinances providing for Corporal Punishment passed and enforced by Sir Richard Graves MacDonnell; the disallowance of which by Her Majesty The Queen, Your Memorialists regret most sincerely.\n\nPage 135\nPage 74", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-152 - Lieut Governor Whitfield - 1871 [9-10].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 289709, "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": "CO129-160 - Public Offices - 1872", "page_number": 482, "title": "CO129-160 - Public Offices - 1872", "content_text": "with respect to repels cheering for lingspores\n\nduring\n\nHe N.

Of the national internal loan the sum of 1,500,000 dollars has been allotted as the share of Shantung, and great efforts are being made to raise this sum, with what result it is still too early to say.\n\nThe budget for local expenditure was published in August, and may be summarised as follows:-\n\nDepartment of the Interior\n\nFinance\n\nEducation..\n\n11\n\n17\n\nIndustry\n\nRepayment of 1918 loan ..\n\nTotal\n\nDeficit\n\n \n Dollars.\n 176,651\n \n \n \n 554,835\n \n \n \n 604,291\n \n \n \n 125,820\n \n \n \n 1,461,597\n \n \n Povera\n 361,039\n \n \n \n 1,822,696\n \n \n \n 43,900\n \n\nThis budget shows large reductions, especially in the figures for education, but this to a large extent represents economies in administration.\n\nCommercial Summary.\n\nThe crops in Shantung this year were expected to be the largest on record, but, unfortunately, much damage was done by the floods in the south of the province and by violent storms in the east. However, wherever the crop was gathered in it was a bumper one.\n\nOwing to the closing of the European markets the export trade of the province is practically at a standstill. Imports are still doing fairly well except in the south, where there have been disastrous floods, and in the whole district east of Wei-hsien, where all trade has ceased owing to the war.\n\nMovements of Chinese Officials.\n\nThe former Tsinan Taotai, Hsia Chi-chuan, a native of Shantung, was replaced on the 3rd July by Chu Fei. Mr. Hsia was offered a post in Honan, but preferred to retire into private life.\n\nA swarm of deputies from Peking have flocked to Tsinan during the quarter. Some were sent by the President, some by the Wai-chiao Pu, and some by the Board of Communications. They all had different instructions, were all jealous of each other, and only agreed in failing to serve any useful purpose whatever. It was quite impossible to keep track of them.\n\nJ. T.
