        "content_text": "# To H. E. Sir RICHARD GRAVES MACDONNELL, \n\n**C.B., Governor of Hongkong and its Dependencies**\n\nMay it please your Excellency,\n\nthe undersigned Barristers, Bankers, Physicians, Solicitors, Merchants, Shipowners, Traders, Shipwrights, Innkeepers, and others interested in the prosperity of Hongkong, beg to bring to your Excellency's notice certain proceedings on the part of the Chinese Authorities, which amount, we believe, to a direct and high-handed attack upon the commerce of the island, and which, if suffered to continue, will most prejudicially affect the well-being of the Colony.\n\nChinese Custom-house stations have been, or are in course of being, erected at the Cap-ring-moon, the Ly-e-moon, and Kowloon, for the purpose of levying exactions, under the denomination of “duties,” upon that portion of the trade of this colony which is carried on in Chinese bottoms. Such stations, if intended for the object alone of collecting duties upon merchandise passing into the interior at the points which this required, could not reasonably be objected to; but the establishments in question are supported by a force of steam gunboats and armed Government junks, by means of which they impudently threaten to levy tolls, on and after the 20th instant, from every native craft passing through the colonial waters, no matter whence it comes or whither its destination. The effect is as though we were at war with China, and the port blockaded. But the Chinese Authorities have gone further. Officers connected with the stations of which we complain are in the colony, and, it is understood, will be prepared to lend to the natives “Comprador Chope” upon payment within the island of the extortions which they falsely term \"duties!\" The natural results are not wanting; already excessive uncertainty and alarm prevail among our Chinese population, and the trade of the colony has been brought to almost a dead-lock.\n\nComment or remark from us upon the attitude which the Chinese Authorities have thus assumed towards Hongkong and your Excellency's Government appears to be supererogatory. Your Excellency does not need to have set forth to you the grave importance of the social, financial, commercial, and international consequences involved in such extraordinary action as that which we have just described. Your Excellency will feel as deeply as we do the insult offered to the Queen's dignity, and the blow aimed at the independence of the Colony under your charge. But our interests of every kind are so intimately bound up with the overthrow of the evil which we are now denouncing, that we cannot refrain from most urgently praying your Excellency to put in force without delay whatever measures may seem best calculated to achieve that object.\n\nWe have the honour to remain,\n\nYour Excellency's most obedient humble servants,\n\n| Name | Firm/Position |\n| --- | --- |\n| Jowling, Matheson & Co. |  |\n| Gibbs, Livingston & Co. |  |\n| The Romick Co., Limited |  |\n| Augustine Heard & Co. |  |\n| David Sassoon, Son & Co. |  |\n| E.

George, (`33 Law Journal (new series), Exch. 231`). Their Lordships cannot help thinking that the marginal note of that case, to which the learned Judges in Hong Kong appear to have referred, may somewhat have misled them. \"A trust The marginal note is to this effect: \"deed in the form given in Schedule D. of the Bankruptcy Act, 1861, and registered, &c., according to section 192, though not assented to by the prescribed majority of creditors, is by virtue of the 194th and 197th sections,\"--the 197th section corresponding to the 167th section in the ordinance--\" subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of Bankruptcy.\" It should be observed, however, that the real point decided in this case was no more than this, that the debtor having conveyed to certain trustees his effects and property, to be administered for the benefit of his creditors as if in bankruptcy, and that property having been delivered in pursuance of the deed of conveyance, it was held that the operation of the deed at Common Law was to pass the property to the trustees, although, incidentally, no doubt, an opinion such as that indicated in the marginal note is expressed. It was upon the same ratio decidendi that the decision was affirmed in the Exchequer Chamber. It should be observed that the case which has been before quoted, decided by Lord Westbury, was not drawn to the attention of the Court. \n\nIn the subsequent case of Pearson v. Pearson (`1 Law Reports, Exchequer, 310`) the Court of Exchequer had their attention more pointedly called to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Act, and also to the decision of Lord Westbury. It was there held that the legal right to sue in respect of debts and choses in action of the debtor did not pass to his trustees under a deed which fell within the provisions of section 194, and that section 197 did not apply to such a deed so as to give to the trustees appointed under it the rights to sue of assignees in bankruptcy. That is the very point to be determined in this case. If trustees have not by virtue of the operation of ss. 194 and 197 of the English Act (corresponding to ss. 165 and 167 of the ordinance) the power to sue in respect of a chose in action, it is because they have not the rights of assignees in bankruptcy, and if so, it follows they have not the power of assignees in bankruptcy to sue in respect of a fraudulent preference. This case was dealt with by the same Judges, with Baron Channell in addition, who had decided the case of Symons v. George, and they came to the conclusion, expressed by Baron Bramwell, that the provisions of section 197 apply only to deeds entered into in conformity with the provisions of section 192. Their Lordships cannot help observing that the learned Chief Justice, when speaking of what he calls the dicta of the Judges in this case, and observing that he could not explain them, appears not to have appreciated the full force and effect of the case itself as a clear decision of the very point now in question. \n\nThe only other case to be noticed is a case before Vice-Chancellor Bacon, of Exparte Atkinson (`9 L. R., Eq., 736`), in which, undoubtedly, the Vice-Chancellor does not seem to have accepted in its full breadth the view of the Court of Exchequer that section 197 did not apply to deeds under section 194. It is to be observed, however, that he does not question the decision in Pearson v. Pearson. He ... \n\n## \n11 \nPage 42517. D",

What size of sewer would you propose for a town of 25,000 population where the gradient is 1 in 300? Illustrate your answer by sketches.\n\nAnswer: Geographical configuration, annual average rainfall, number of present population and prospective increase, taking the last census as a basis. Whether a full water-closet town, or if to be sewered on the separate system: the nature of the outfall with a view to gravitation or mechanical lifting, and other minor causes.\n\nThe size of the outfall sewer, in my opinion, should be not less than 3 feet 3 inches by 4 feet 6 inches, discharging 185 cubic feet per minute, thus allowing the sewage at 30 cubic feet per head per day to be discharged in eight hours. On the separate system this capacity for a full water closet town, and to allow for heavy rainfalls, say 3 feet by 4 feet 6 inches, if rain or surface waters is to be included, discharging 267 cubic feet per minute, with the inclination given of 1 in 300.\n\nQuestion 4\nWrite a specification for laying stoneware pipe sewers.\n\nAnswer: Being the specification for a pipe sewer, I assume that any local surveyor would be equal to this, and as it would take up a very considerable space in the SANITARY RECORD, without a corresponding benefit to surveyors generally, I omit to take up the space, the general features of such a specification being that the pipes shall be straight, sound, and true to bore, well and truly laid, and jointed in a perfectly water-tight manner; the earth excavated at the collars so that the body of the pipe may have a true bearing along its whole length. If in faulty ground concreted all around and on top to exclude uneven pressure; if on good ground, then the earth put in 6-inch layers, well rammed in around and above to avoid sinkage. All laid in straight lines from manhole to manhole, with provision for ventilation and lighting, so that a lamp inserted at a lamphole may be seen and show a light to an adjacent manhole, thus at once showing where any stoppage existed.\n\nQuestion 5.\nSupposing a sewer to have a gradient of 1 in 300, how much would the velocity and discharge be increased by altering the gradient to 1 in 60?\n\nAnswers: 1 in 300 = 4/57*32) = 7*92 increase of discharge per second. 1 in 60 = /1000 = 10*00) = 17*32 (1.732 increase of velocity per second.\n\n1005\n\n7320\n\n2000\n\n3200\n\n3000\n\n2000\n\n22000\n\nQuestion 6.\nGive a description of the process termed intermittent downward filtration. State what area of land you would require with a gravelly soil for applying this method of purifying sewage to a town with a population of 20,000 inhabitants; and state the arrangements you would adopt for dealing with the rain water falling on the roofs, yards, and streets.\n\nAnswer: Intermittent downward filtration may be termed a natural system of purification of sewage by means of the filtering and aërating action of the soil: it is carried on by discharging (with or without previous precipitation) upon a properly prepared area, the sewage of the town under drainage. This sewage is conducted upon the prepared area by a series of carriers, and then allowed to filter through the land into drains laid about 6 feet under ground, from whence it (as an effluent) is conducted to its outfall, mostly a river. The action upon the sewage is threefold—viz., evaporation, aëration, and filtration, and if properly conducted should give an effluent of a very high standard.\n\nAs to the amount of land requisite for the purification of the sewage of a town of 20,000 population, authorities differ, but taking the daily amount of sewage per head at 30 gallons, and the average of five persons to each house equal to 150 gallons per house per day, then the fact that this quantity must be got rid of in about eight hours, it would not be safe to reckon less than 1,000 gallons per house. Then taking 4,000 houses, there would be 4,000,000 gallons of sewage to deal with, which could be successfully treated on 5 acres of such land; but it would, of course, require that a very far larger amount should be provided, as no land could be expected to be constantly under treatment, and the least amount should be five times this quantity, so as to have only one-fifth under treatment.\n\nGreat diversity of opinion exists upon this subject, and no very hard and fast line can be drawn. Each case must rest upon individual merits and local circumstances.\n\nWith regard to dealing with rain-water from roofs, most of it should undoubtedly be stored for domestic use, as it is far too valuable to be uselessly wasted. Drainage from yards and roads should be conducted in separate channels (from the sewer proper) to a natural outfall: although often in storms the washings from roads may be nearly as bad as sewage; but, on the other hand, if the surface-water were admitted, the sewers would have to be greatly increased in size to provide for excessive rainfall.\n\nQuestion 7.\nDescribe and illustrate by sketches the essential points to be observed in carrying out a system of house drainage, and the best means of providing urinal and closet accommodation for schools, workhouses, and similar institutions.\n\nQuestion 8.\nIn arranging the water supply for a manufacturing town of 30,000 inhabitants, state what you consider of importance as regards (A) Sources of supply; (B) Quantity required; (C) Distribution.\n\nAnswer: (A) The geographical situation of the town, as to the possibility of gravitation from rivers or otherwise; the geological situation of its surroundings, with a view to its probability of affording a sufficiency of supply and its nature as to hardness, &c.; the annual average rainfall: what water rights, if any, existed; the present population and prospective rate of increase, and whether the town was a full water-closet one or otherwise.\n\n(B) Twenty-five to thirty gallons per head population.\n\n(C) Under pressure that all cisterns had ball-cocks and tell-tale overflows; that Deacon's waste-water preventers were in use; that a thorough system of inspection existed to detect waste; that the mains were well laid and efficiently jointed, and that a sufficiency existed for immediate use in case of fire. In the constant service system there is very little, if any, waste; the returns from many towns showing none; but in the intermittent there is often a large amount of waste through neglect of the inhabitants and defective fittings. The screw-down tap somewhat modifies this, but it is a very slow and unsatisfactory way of drawing water.\n\nQuestion 9.\nDescribe the general characters of the waters derived from—(1) The chalk; (2) the new red sandstone; (3) the carboniferous formations; and the methods by which water should be obtained from each.\n\nAnswer: (1) Water derived from the chalk formation, although generally pure and plentiful (except in long seasons of drought), is often very hard, leaving injurious effects on some constitutions.\n\n(2) Water derived from the new red sandstone formation is sometimes of a rather hard description, but not to the degree of that yielded by the chalk formation.\n\n(3) The carboniferous (or coal measure) formations always yields soft water of undoubted purity, and generally in ample volume for all purposes.\n\nQuestion 10.\nIn what ways is water able to be polluted after collection, during its distribution to houses, and in houses? What means would you adopt to prevent such pollution?\n\nAnswer: Water may become polluted after collection by fungoid growths and atmospheric influences (where exposed to such): during distribution, from imperfect pipes and joints allowing sewer or other gas to enter the mains; in houses, by improper fittings, such as a cistern in direct communication with the drain, or so placed as to be difficult of cleansing, and frequently not ventilated, and other insidious causes.\n\nQuestion 11.\nWhat fittings, and plumber's work generally are required for a high-pressure constant water service? How would you make the connection with the main? Describe the kinds of joints which should be used on the branches?\n\nAnswer: The class of fittings required for the high-pressure constant service are iron tubular services with iron angle or T-pieces, either tinned or galvanised. Where lead must be used the joints should be what is known as plumber's or wiped joints, the taps being those known as the high-pressure screw-down service taps, the connection with the main being by a ferrule; plumber's joints on branches, unless iron unions are used.\n\nQuestion 12.\nThere is great difficulty in obtaining a supply of good water for a country house, and it is therefore necessary to obtain as much water as possible from the roofs, and to use it for drinking and cooking purposes. The total area of area of the roof of the house and offices is 8,000 square feet, and the average annual rainfall is about 40 inches. Calculate what size the storage tank should be, and give a sketch of it and of its appendages?\n\nAnswer: Size of storage tank, 160,000 gallons.\n\nQuestion 13.\nTo what extent does the size of a room affect the quantity of fresh air required for effective ventilation, and what quantity of air would be required per hour for a room containing 8,000 cubic feet, occupied by fifteen people? How would you ventilate such a room? Illustrate your answer by sketches.\n\nAnswer: Douglas Galton in 'Healthy Homes' quotes: \"According to theoretical calculations, it would appear that, with an initial air space of 1,000 cubic feet, occupied by one individual, it would be necessary to supply 3,000 cubic feet per hour, to maintain the room in a proper condition of humidity. As regards other impurities, if 0.6 per 1,000 of CO2 are accepted as the limit of respiratory impurity in a well-ventilated air space, in addition to the 0.4 per 1,000 in normal air, we can calculate out the amount of air necessary for the purpose; and from this calculation it appears that it requires 3,000 cubic feet per hour to preserve the air-space in the required state of freshness. Thus the theoretical calculations, based first upon humidity, and secondly on carbonic acid, bring us to similar conclusions in each case.\"\n\nDe Chaumont in Parkes' 'Practical Hygiene': \"A certain amount of fresh air has to pass through a given space in a fixed time in order to maintain a certain degree of purity; the amount has been fixed at 3,000 cubic feet for each healthy person in an hour. Thus a space of 100 cubic feet must have its air changed thirty times in an hour. If 3,000 feet of air are to be given, while a space of 1,000 cubic feet need only have it changed three times in an hour for an equal ventilation, then our problem being 15 persons in a room of 8,000 cubic feet, would work out thus: - 3,000 x 15 = 45,000 cubic feet of air as requisite. The room being of 8,000 cubic feet capacity would require the air to be changed nearly 5.6 times in an hour.\n\nCOMPETITIONS.\nSANITARY INSTITUTE OF GREAT BRITAIN.\nAt an Examination, held Nov. 11 and 12, 62 Candidates presented themselves as Local Surveyors and 59 as Inspectors of Nuisances.

The admissions to Hospital with the percentage of sickness and mortality are also given.\n\nThe following were the admissions to the Military Hospital and deaths for the past 10 years:-\n\n| Year | Admissions | Deaths |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| 1878 | 944 | 10 |\n| 1879 | 1,035 | 8 |\n| 1880 | 1,075 | 13 |\n| 1881 | 1,116 | 4 |\n| 1882 | 1,019 | 9 |\n| 1883 | 1,105 | 10 |\n| 1884 | 1,097 | 12 |\n| 1885 | 1,190 | 24 |\n| 1886 | 1,607 | 9 |\n| 1887 | 1,749 | 14 |\n\nThe sickness as will be seen exceeds that of any of the previous years. There were no cases of Cholera among the Troops last year.\n\n## GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL\n\nThere has been much trouble connected with the Staff of this Establishment during the past year. The Superintendent resigned in the beginning of the year.\n\nSurgeon YARR, A.M.D. acted as Superintendent for six months during the summer, but as he had his own Military duties to attend to, he could not reside at the Hospital. He was however most energetic and efficient in the performance of his duties notwithstanding that he was hampered by his Military work which lay at one end of the City while his Civil work was at the other. He had eventually however to resign the Acting Appointment, his whole services being required by his own Department and Surgeon THOMPSON, A.M.D. took charge for a few weeks till the arrival of the new Superintendent. Surgeon THOMPSON in addition to the trouble of double duty as had been the case with Surgeon Yarr underwent the unpleasant experience of having to put the Senior and Assistant Wardmasters under arrest. Fortunately he discovered we could obtain the assistance of two non-commissioned Officers of the Medical Staff Corps to act in their place, and these two officers were accordingly engaged. I am greatly indebted to the Army Medical Department for the valuable and prompt assistance they have rendered the Hospital in its difficulties and I have much satisfaction in recording my appreciation of these services.\n\nDr. ATKINSON, the new Superintendent, arrived out in the Colony and took charge in November finding the unpleasant state of affairs to which I have alluded, to greet him on his arrival.\n\nThe Senior Wardmaster has since been sentenced to seven years hard labour in Gaol for embezzling the property of patients in the Hospital two of whom were in a dying condition.\n\nThe Wardmasters have been a continual source of trouble during the fourteen years I have been in charge of this Department. I have seen over twenty appointed besides a number acting for a time. At present we have two Acting Wardmasters neither of whom is satisfied with his post. The Acting Senior Wardmaster, a Police Constable, prefers to return to the Police Force as he finds the hours at the Hospital twice as long, and the ward duties themselves far more arduous and harassing and entailing a greater amount of anxiety and responsibility than his former Police duties while the pay and advantages are inferior. Moreover at the Hospital he has no prospect of promotion in the service. The Acting Assistant Wardmaster a young Portuguese formerly employed in the Sanitary Department thinks the work too much for his strength, and prefers less pay with lighter work and less responsibility elsewhere.\n\n## \n\n342\n\nIn my first Annual Report for 1873, I had to comment on the trouble which appeared to beset the filling of these posts and for fourteen years my reports in the same connection have been incessant but though the Wardmasters' pay has been slightly increased it is not sufficient to secure trained men or in view of the duties performed, or compared with the pay of officers of the same rank in other Departments. The Wardmasters have twelve hours of continuous duty to do. They have to attend the Superintendent in his rounds, to see the Chinese nurses do their duty, to administer medicines, to change dressings, to see diets given out and temperatures taken, to receive and admit patients, to attend to their wants pending the Superintendent's arrival, and many other things which keep them incessantly engaged during the whole twelve hours.\n\nIt would be difficult to appreciate adequately the discomfort of the Superintendent, with untrained men attending to the ward duties and the uncertainty he must be in as to whether his directions will be attended to properly and correctly if at all, or yet the bewilderment of a new and untrained Wardmaster with the multifarious directions written and unwritten for about from 60 to 100 different patients, or the unpleasantness to the patient himself at having to put up with the nervous, awkward handling, of the untrained nurse, however willing and kindly the intention.\n\nI think I have said enough to show that it is very detrimental to the proper administration of the Hospital that continual changes should recur in these posts by reason of the employment of inferior men at low salaries. Such changes add very greatly to the troubles of the Superintendent, and detract very much from the comfort of the patients. It is true that for the most part the latter are only seamen, Government servants, Police Cases, or destitutes, but there should be no distinction of class in the treatment of the sick in Hospitals. All are entitled to the same efficiency of nursing as if they belonged to the influential section of the Community.\n\nDr. ATKINSON has had the trouble of training the two present Wardmasters for three months at a time of great emergency while an epidemic of small-pox was raging in the Colony. The duties of training and instruction doubled his work, and naturally caused him not only a great amount of care and anxiety but necessitated much extra and harassing watchfulness. This burden Dr. ATKINSON has borne with great cheerfulness, not sparing himself in any way if he could lighten the labour and increase the comfort of those under his charge, and I cannot speak too highly of the skill, care, and attention he has shown in the performance of his duties, but I submit that he should be relieved from a recurrence of such anxieties in the future by the proper organization of his staff.\n\nFortunately in Mr. WATSON, the Assistant Apothecary, lately arrived and whose appointment is a new one, in Mr. ROGERS the Steward, Mr. U. I. Kar the Student Apothecary, Mr. CARNEIRO the Wardmaster of the small-pox Hospital, Mr. Lo CHEUNG Ir the Clerk, and A Lok the Chinese Wardmaster, he has found energetic and willing assistants these officers being thoroughly conversant with their duties.\n\nThe office of Clerk at the Hospital is another post which gives considerable trouble and which is subject to frequent changes owing to insufficiency of pay. His office hours are from nine A.M. till five P.M. and more often seven P.M., and even then were it not for the assistance rendered him by Mr. ROGERS the Steward he would very often not be able to get through his day's work at all. Clerks in other Government Departments and Offices, some of whom have been in the post he now occupies, work as a rule from 10 A.M. till 4 P.M., and while having lighter duties are better paid, consequently Mr. Lo CHEUNG IP is naturally in search of other employment and I shall be forced to recommend a good officer for promotion though it will be much against the interests of the Hospital that it should lose his services.\n\nThe Hospital has in consequence of this combination of overwork and insufficient pay hitherto found it impossible to retain a Clerk long after he had learnt his duties, and if he has not found promotion in the public service he generally has sought private employment.\n\nIt must always be a matter of regret that discontent should prevail among the subordinate staff of Hospital for the constant changing of officers in an Institution filled with people distressed in mind or body is not at all conducive to the comfort or alleviation of the latter.\n\nA scheme for the employment of European Female professional nurses in the Hospital has been drawn up by Dr. ATKINSON at the request of the Government and is now under consideration. If on enquiry in England it is found feasible the scheme will undoubtedly be a very great benefit to the Hospital. It is not however entirely without some drawbacks for the nurses will have to reside on the premises and this will require a considerable increase of accommodation in the shape of an additional block of buildings which means considerable expense. As usual it is a question of initial outlay.\n\nLast September Mr. W. E. CROW the Government Analyst was transferred for temporary duty to the Sanitary Department. This transfer has, I am glad to say not deprived the Hospital of Mr. Crow's valuable services. He continues to attend as heretofore to his analytical duties and researches and the supervision of the Dispensing Department of the Hospital.\n\nThe admissions to the Hospital this year show a slight increase of 33.\n\nThere were 432 cases of Fever of various types, of these 11 died; 40 cases of Dysentery were admitted of whom 6 died; 53 cases of Diarrhoea of whom 3 died.",

M. ATKINSON, M.D., Superintendent.\n\nIn respect, therefore, of those diseases which may owe their origin to insanitary conditions, we see that the European Table of deaths keeps about the same average, while the Chinese Table shows a very marked reduction, in fact, the latter has never been so low for the previous ten years. The improved methods of surface scavenging and the thorough cleansing of tenements at certain periods, insisted on by the **Sanitary Board** for the last three years, appear to be doing a great amount of practical good. In 1886 there was a decrease in this Table of nearly 400 deaths as compared with 1885; this year there is another decrease of nearly 400 deaths as compared with 1886. With these facts before us, the **Sanitary Board** must have every reason to be satisfied with the result of their work in the practical sanitation of the town, although their best efforts will be, I fear, but of little comparative avail until their hands are strengthened by the new **Public Health Ordinance**, which it is very deeply to be regretted should not have been confirmed and brought into operation last year.\n\nDuring 1887-8, fever has prevailed extensively in the extreme Western District, along the upper levels of Victoria, and a **Medical Commission** has been appointed by His Excellency the Governor to enquire into the nature and cause of the disease and to suggest preventive measures. This Commission has not yet submitted its Report.\n\nIn November, a very serious outbreak of small-pox occurred; there were 15 deaths among Europeans and 233 deaths among Chinese from this cause up to the end of the year. There was, for a time, a very large demand for vaccine, and the latter was telegraphed for to Japan, Australia, and England. The calf-lymph procured from Japan was found admirably put up for travelling; it arrived in excellent condition and was effective and satisfactory.\n\nThe small-pox epidemic was severe while it lasted and necessitated the building of a temporary mat Hospital with 100 beds in the **Government Civil Hospital** grounds. So large was the number of admissions that it reached 50 cases in Hospital at one time. Thanks to the precautions and the energetic measures taken by the **Sanitary Board**, this epidemic was not of long duration. An **Ordinance** for the compulsory vaccination of infants has since been passed, and it will be interesting to see whether it can be successfully enforced among the Chinese population.\n\nAs the **Government Medical Staff** of the Colony at present stands, each member of it has his full complement of work, and there is no relief possible in case of emergency, except from outside sources, which cannot always be depended upon. If any member of the **Medical Staff** falls sick, there is no one to take his place. None of us can take vacation leave without great personal loss, as, according to the Rules of the Service, every officer absent on furlough has to find a substitute. The finding of a substitute is feasible in almost every other Department without detriment to the individual who takes his leave, for there is always some brother officer in the service who can take his place, or his limited hours of duty render it possible for him to find outside assistance. With the **Medical Department**, however, such is not the case. The duties require the incumbent of the office to be on duty at all times, night and day, and there is no one in the Service that can relieve him. The **Army Medical Department** have hitherto come to our relief, but this cooperation cannot always be depended on, as, from press of work, sickness, or other cause, the **Army Medical Staff** may be short of hands themselves. If, therefore, the recent recommendation of the **Sanitary Board** in favour of an **Epidemic Hospital** outside of the town be carried out, it would be absolutely necessary to obtain the permanent services of an additional Surgeon.\n\nI have the honour to be,\nSir,\nYour obedient Servant,\nThe Hon. F. STEWART,\n**Colonial Secretary**.\n\n## II.-TABLE shewing the RATE of SICKNESS and MORTALITY in the POLICE FORCE during the Year 1887.\n\n|  | TOTAL SICKNESS | TOTAL DEATHS | RATE OF SICKNESS | RATE OF MORTALITY |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| AVERAGE STRENGTH | European | Indian | Chinese | European | Indian | Chinese | European | Indian | Chinese | European | Indian | Chinese |\n|  | 110 | 201 | 810 |  |  |  | 119.82 | 145.77 | 69.02 | 3.46 | 0.49 | 1.25 |\n\nJ.

The only difficulty was Haiphong's (i.e., the Governor of Haiphong's) interference with that practice, which was taken under Order 8 of 1858 (Dec. 23, 1858) and 28(9) - which latter Ordinance is repealed by Dec. 10-8 of 1882. I am apprehensive that in order to get to the bottom of the question, the Dept. will have to examine the correspondence which closed with the despatch No. 277 of 25.10.\n\nM. Branston referred to Lord Carnarvon's despatch No. 3, January 1878, par. 31, which deals with the expatriation of mendicants and the proposal for the retention of the power of sending them back to the mainland.\n\nDeportation generally forms the subject of 96'/11-79 and 80, on which there is a long minute. The view taken by yourself and others was that the power should be retained but be sparingly used.\n\nThe Ordinance on the subject is 2/81.",

I was quite fit for, and did my duty in the usual way from 6 p.m. on the 5th till 6 a.m. on the 6th instant.\n\n(2) I did go into the female ward, which I have been in the habit of doing weekly for the last 3 years or more. I usually take the amah with me on those occasions, but as she was engaged with a patient in the European Asylum, I went in by myself and visited the bath room and closet as usual. On my way out, the female lunatic referred to caught hold of me in an affectionate way, as she does with most people who happen to have business in the ward. I led her quietly to her room and came out. I was instructed by Dr. Atkinson three years ago that it was not necessary to visit the female patients, but that referred more particularly to the European Asylum. Previous to that time, it was quite a common thing for the Wardmaster to go to the female wards to issue medicine, etc.\n\n(3) I most emphatically deny having assaulted a patient as stated.",

        "content_text": "# LOCAL GOVI BOARD\nEnclos85\nThe Daily Press.\nHONGKONG, August 20th, 1897.\n\n## HONGKONG SANITARY BOARD\nA meeting of the Sanitary Board was held at the offices yesterday afternoon. Dr. Atkinson (Principal Civil Medical Officer) presided and there were also present—Hon. F. H. May, (Captain Superintendent of Police), Hon. W. Chatham (Acting Director of Public Works), Dr. Clark (Medical Officer of Health), and Mr. H. McCallum (Secretary).\n\n### MINUTEE\nThe minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed.\n\n### THE MEDICAL INSPECTION OF SHIPPING AND THE VENICE PLAGUE CONFERENCE\nFurther papers relating to the proposal to institute a systematic medical inspection of vessels arriving in the harbour were laid on the table. Following upon the report of the Committee of the Chamber of Commerce (which was given in the Daily Press of July 21st) the Medical Officer of Health wrote the following minute:--\nThe fact that a few persons may cross the frontier or land at Aberdeen or Stanley is no more an argument against medical inspection of the shipping entering this harbour than is the fact that criminals occasionally escape the consequences of their crimes an argument against the maintenance of a police force. The Chamber of Commerce admits the desirability of medical inspection of vessels arriving from infected ports, but overlooks the fact well known to the Government—that it is impossible to obtain the necessary staff in such emergencies and that if we have not permanent men trained in this work we cannot cope with any extra work without serious delay. Another point of great importance is that we are practically at all times in communication with some infected ports, and if we do not have a general medical inspection of the shipping the Government is compelled to officially declare such ports \"infected\" before such medical inspection can be enforced. Hitherto the Government of this colony has, in the interests of the shipping community, refrained as far as possible from resorting to such official declarations in consequence of the effect it has upon the authorities of the neighbouring ports who often follow suit by imposing a lengthy quarantine; In future, however, this course will, I hope, not be followed, for if the shipping authorities object to a properly organised general inspection the Government should certainly not hesitate to insist upon a medical inspection of all vessels from infected or suspected ports, and as they can as yet only do so by declaring quarantine against such ports this should be resorted to without delay. A very exaggerated idea seems to exist in the minds of the members of the sub-Committee of the Chamber of Commerce in reference to the expense of this scheme. I wonder what the cost to the shipping and to the colony generally would have been if any one of those fifty coolies who were landed on the s.s. Cheang Hong Kian, in November of last year had found his way to one of the water reservoirs or filter beds while suffering from cholera. This ship had no less than 14 deaths on her voyage from Singapore to this port, ten of which occurred within 24 hours of her arrival here, and yet the rest of them were allowed to land and disperse themselves over the colony. I venture to think that if the scheme of medical inspection of all shipping had been in force at that time this colony would not have been exposed to such an awful danger as that which threatened us then—a danger which can only be fully realized by those who know the true explanation of the outbreak of cholera in Hamburg in 1893.\n\nSmallpox, again, is constantly being introduced into this colony from Japan and other ports, and leads to sickness and deaths among the European community, and, in fact, as I pointed out in my annual report for 1896, more than 50 per cent of our cases of infectious disease (exclusive of bubonic plague) are imported and the danger to the community would thus by medical inspection be practically reduced to one-half of its present proportions. I suggest that the papers relating to the Sanitary Conference at Venice be attached to these so that they may be considered together.\n\nIn reference to the report of the Venice Plague Conference, the Medical Officer of Health wrote:--\nThe attached report suggests to me the following course of action is most suitable for this port. (1). All vessels, whether \"healthy,\" \"suspected,\" or \"infected\" arriving from an infected port, to proceed at once to the quarantine anchorage for medical inspection in accordance with our existing quarantine regulations and to be granted free pratique as soon as (1) the sick, if any, have been removed to hospital, (2) the vessel disinfected, if necessary, and (3) the passengers and crew have complied with the following requirements, namely, (a) All Europeans, Americans, and Australians desiring to land must give to the boarding medical officer their names and the addresses at which they intend to reside, and they will be subjected to \"medical surveillance\" for a period of five days if the port of departure is infected with cholera, ten days if with plague, and fifteen days if with smallpox, from the date of leaving the ship, if any cases of bubonic plague have occurred thereon during the voyage, or from the date of leaving the infected port if the ship has been free from such sickness since the departure therefrom. Should any such person desire to reside at any other address than that given by him to the boarding medical officer, within the said period of ten days, he must first communicate the new address to the Medical Officer of Health of the colony. (B). All Asiatics and Africans must similarly furnish their names and addresses of destination and will be subjected to medical surveillance for a like period, but each one must in addition furnish a reliable surety resident in the colony, who shall guarantee in writing to the extent of $50 that such person shall continue to reside at the address given by him, for a period of not less than ten days. In the event of such surety not being forthcoming for any such person brought into the harbour from an infected port the vessel will not be granted pratique. All Asiatic and African passengers arriving from an infected port, en route for some further port, must be detained on board ship, and the master of any vessel allowing any such person who has not furnished the boarding medical officer with his name and address of destination and the necessary surety to land, shall be deemed to have committed a breach of the Quarantine Regulations. I suggest that these additional regulations be forwarded by the Sanitary Board for the approval of the Governor in Council and for their incorporation in the Quarantine Regulations of this colony, and I also suggest that the Board advise the Government of this colony to become a party to this Convention.\n\nDr. Jordan furnished the following report to the Principal Civil Medical Officer of Health re the Venice Plague Conference and medical inspection of shipping in Hongkong :—\n\n## Health Officer's Office.\n12th August, 1897.\n\nSir, Having studied carefully all the papers in connection with the above questions, I have now the honour to submit my report thereon and its applicability to the port of Hongkong.\n\nThe subject will be best put forward under two headings—(1) the application of the Venice Plague Conference to Hongkong, and (2) ...\n\nPage 558\nPage 568",

        "content_text": "# 500\n\nadopted by the Government. I do not hesitate in saying that the whole shipping community would rise in a body and appeal to the Secretary of State, while resisting it to the utmost here. A civil war would scarcely be an exaggerated state of the case. Again, I have already shown that not more than one or two per cent. of the Chinese immigrants could furnish this surety. It would therefore mean a complete stoppage of the entire immigration of the colony. I submit, therefore, that it would not take long to ruin the colony if such an absurd proposition were adopted.\n\nWith reference to this question of medical inspection of all vessels, the Medical Officer of Health has made, in various parts of these papers, statements which I cannot allow to pass unchallenged, inasmuch as I consider some of them quite wrong and others very liable to mislead and create a false and unnecessary alarm.\n\n(a). The Cheang Hok Kian case. There is an attempt to create a panic by alluding to \"the great danger to the colony that would have accrued\" had any one of these 50 coolies who landed from the `Cheang Hok Kian` found his way to one of the water reservoirs or filter beds while suffering from cholera.\" In the first place, perhaps Dr. Clark is not aware that each one of those 50 coolies was examined prior to landing and showed no trace of disease. But for the sake of argument, if we assume that each one of these 50 coolies was suffering from cholera at the time, does Dr. Clark mean for a moment to say that these men were going to leave their sick beds to go out to Pokfolum, Tytam or Bowen Road filter beds, or other places. Has Dr. Clark seen a case of cholera? If he has, I am sure he would not suggest such a thing which to my mind is the height of impossibility, to say the least of it. A cholera patient is not only disinclined to leave his bed, but is mostly unable to do so, much less to go for a chair ride or walk to these sources of water supply. The above statement made by the M.O.H. is calculated to create a gross and false alarm and bias the mind of anyone unacquainted with the subject. It is more than likely that every one of those coolies who landed left Hongkong within 12 hours of their arrival for Canton, inasmuch as they were returned immigrants from Singapore on their way to their homes in China. Even if the medical inspection of all vessels was in force, these men would have landed all the same under surveillance, i.e., with the only difference of having given a name and address, which whether false or correct, would only be proved later on. A very exaggerated idea of the danger the colony has escaped exists in the mind of the M.O.H., whereas such danger was infinitesimal, if not nil. And certainly, this case cannot be used as an argument for the medical inspection of all vessels.\n\n(b). In his minute to the Sanitary Board on the Quarantine Regulations, the M.O.H. states that what is urgently required is the appointment of an additional Medical Officer of the Port,\" and, again, that \"this is not the class of work a medical man would care to take up permanently,\" and yet he says that \"no difficulty would be experienced in getting good men at a salary ranging from $130 and quarters for a period of three years.\" I wonder if Dr. Clark would have come out at this salary for a period of three years. I think it is impossible to get good men at such a nominal salary, or if they did come out under a wrong impression, they would resign in a month.\n\n(c). Dr. Clark thinks that these two medical men working each 5 hours a day could accomplish the Herculean task of medically inspecting all vessels, of doing the same to all junks and boats coming from different ports, and of attending to the emigration from the colony. From the Harbour Master's Report, I find that the daily average of emigrants is 2,300, of crews coming into the port 1,288, and of crews of total grants leaving the colony 593; making a total of 4,281 men to be examined daily. Allowing the highest possible figure per minute for inspection—and a very poor inspection at that—viz., 3 men per minute, by simple arithmetic, we have nearly 24 hours' constant work without a moment's delay of any kind. Everything must go like clock-work; not a minute must be lost in going from one ship to another, not a minute can the poor medical officer get for a morsel of food or a drink of water. Work! Nothing but work from daylight to dark! This is the \"reductio ad absurdum\" of the proposition. It therefore wants at least four medical officers to do the proposed work. Probably there is no port in the world with such stupendous figures for immigration and emigration. The port of London, which has nothing like the figures of Hongkong, has, I think, four medical officers doing the work and are further assisted by the Customs officers.\n\n(d). Finally, the Medical Officer of Health says the expenditure on launch and crew would not exceed that incurred at present.\" The Harbour Master has shown that it would be essential to have two inspecting stations, one at each end of the harbour; therefore, the medical officer duty at each station would entail business to go from ship to another. Thus, we have two launches. But a third would be required for the medical officer doing emigration duty, as there are very often three and four ships leaving the colony of a morning and requiring to be inspected for the passengers. So that we want three launches as a total and minimum, and such was actually the case in the epidemic of 1894 in Hongkong when there were four medical officers and three launches at work. Again, in the draft \"Suggested Additional Quarantine Regulations,\" the following appears: \"Provided always that when any vessel is not visited by a health officer within a period of 18 hours from the time of her arrival in the colony,\" then the vessel may come up to her anchorage and land her passengers. The M.O.H. evidently thinks that a vessel may under his scheme be detained as long as 19 hours and even then not be examined. He is a little inconsistent here. Imagine the result if the English mail was detained 18 hours in the harbour for nothing, not even the pleasure of a visit from a medical officer. The ship has lost by this at least $500 in wages alone. It would not take the P. and O. Co. and other shipping firms very long to be up in arms.\n\nIn conclusion, I submit that a series of more unpractical suggestions than those put forward by the Medical Officer of Health it is scarcely possible to conceive and could only have been put forward by one quite unacquainted with the ways and means of the immigration, emigration, and shipping of the colony generally. Further, I beg to submit (1) that this colony cannot at present adhere in its entirety to the articles of the Venice Convention; (2) that it is impossible to have a medical inspection of all vessels without a very heavy increase in the cost to the Government; (3) Medical surveillance is impracticable in this colony.\n\nThe only practical deduction is that a neighbouring port having an epidemic disease prevailing should be unhesitatingly proclaimed infected and medical inspection necessarily follows; the sick from any infected vessel removed to hospital as speedily as possible, the healthy allowed to go free, and the vessel thoroughly disinfected and released. Further, let the sanitation of the colony be perfected as speedily as possible and a regular and rigorous sanitary inspection of houses be maintained with a thorough enforcement of all sanitary regulations applying thereto and epidemic diseases will not gain a hold in the colony, even though an occasional case may be imported from shipping. This, the foundation and root on which the Sanitary Commissioners from Her Majesty's Government to the Venice Conference stood and which was the background of all their arguments.\n\n- I have the honour to be, sir, your most obedient servant,\n**G. P. JORDON**, \nHealth Officer of the Port.\n\n- \n**Dr. J. M. Atkinson, P.C.M.O.**\n\n# 550\n\n# 570",

The Swift moored head and stern, with her head about E.S.E., hauled close in to the rocky shore to the southward in less than two fathoms, being coals and provisioned, and their ammunition put on board. After consultation with the General, the Commodore had started them off at 7 a.m. round by D'Aguilar for Tytam Bay. De Horsey was in command of the Swift, with 25 of his own men, two R.N.R. officers from the Empress of India (Messrs Tootham and Roswald). Sub.-Lt. Dayley of the Plover was in charge of the Rattler with Mr Nartlew, Chief Boatswain of the Yard, and an R.N.R. officer (Mr Atkinson) from the Radnorshire, with the remainder of the Plover's crew,—60 merchant seamen R.N.R. and others were in the Swift, and 30 in the Rattler. Only one Engineer was sent in each vessel, Messrs Mallett and Irish respectively, as the ships had only to get to Tytam; for the same reason only a small supply of coal was put on board, and no great quantity of provisions and water, they were both flying light. She was protected to the southward by the rocky peninsula from fire from the bay. To attack her, vessels would have to come round the point exposed at two cables' distance to her whole port broadside. The Rattler was hauled further in towards Tytam Tuk, but on the northern shore in 9 feet—moored head and stern, head to the S.W. Her port broadside also swept the passage to the Swift, and her small Gardner in the foretop covered the Shaukiwan Road. Steam was only kept for the dynamos.\n\n|  |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| O | Ratt |\n| Ty Lam HS |  |\n| Swift |  |\n| Badou |  |\n| Tytam Bay |  |\n| Q |  |\n| 5 | 10 cables. 1 mile |\n| 95 -- |  |\n\nA party was landed to make a redoubt on the rocky hill south of the Swift, armed with the two Nordenfelts, a thousand Artillerymen, 7,000 men in all—the crews of the four vessels amounted to another thousand men. The redoubt commanded the cove to the south and the Shaukiwan Road to the right, as well as preventing the enemy pouring fire right down on to the deck of the Swift. The troopers were escorted by the three destroyers, Borgo, Revel, and Seaborg. The Orel, of the Russian volunteer fleet, had been despatched from Vladivostock on the 7th inst. for Saigon, as the French were short of transport. The Russian expedition left Vladivostock on the 15th, and going down outside-cast of Formosa, the allies were to rendezvous twenty miles south of the Gap Rock at 4 p.m. on the 23rd. Akinoff could or would give no details as to the French forces. As a fact, the French brought up 10,000 men in six ships, including the Orel (of 2,850 tons), conveyed by the cruisers Descartes and Eclaireur, and the foreign old ironclad Triomphante, the reserve ship in Saigon.\n\nThe Commodore, with the Master Attendant, towed down the nine German merchant steamers and the one French sailing ship (the Du Guesclin), and moored them in a double line across the Lyemun passage, heavy cables being passed along then, taken in astern and passed out of the hawse-holes forward. The ends were secured ashore. The shore ends being floated on cargo boats left no openings at all. The Harbour Master and Staff Commander Jones moored the eight other steamers and a Hawaiian barque similarly across the Sulphur Channel.\n\nWe wanted to torpedo boats in in the night. About 5 a.m., Dover (the Assistant Harbour Master) and Robinson (the senior boarding officer) were sent out in two launches, the Gladiator and Vancouver, to see what had become of the enemy. Robinson went into Picnic Bay in Lama Island, and had a long and hot walk over the hills. Dover kept on round by the Fast side of Lama, and coming round Green Hummock into S.E. bay, came plump on the Destroyer Sveaborg; she opened fire smartly on the launch, killing two men, and sinking the Gladiator before she could be turned round. Two of her crew ashore and succeeded in rejoining Robinson. The Seaborg proceeded South to the Gap Rock about 7 a.m.\n\nAmongst the wounded in our hands was General Akinoff, second in command of the Russian expeditionary force—the Commander in Chief, General Grombetchsky, had been killed. General Akinoff was quite willing to communicate the facts as to the Russian forces—they had consisted of the regiments of Nerehitusk and Tomsk and a small Russian regiment numbers 3,003—and the French forces—the French Commander-in-Chief, General Morbleu, assumed the supreme control. All the new arrivals began hoisting out torpedo and troop boats. The Eclaireur was despatched to the Eastward, where she subsequently captured the Sungkiang (Capt. Dodd) and the Verona (Capt. Tocque). The wounded were hoisted out for landing and tents to be... \n\nPage 21",

In our opinion it will be disastrous to the future sanitary condition of Victoria if steps are not immediately taken to prevent the further erection of insanitary dwellings in the City.\n\nThe effect of the want of control in that direction is well exemplified by the blocks of buildings present being erected on the site of the old Victoria Hotel, and on the east side of Cochrane Street between Wellington Street and Stanley Street.\n\nThe houses in these two blocks are all back-to-back, and will be in no respect better lighted or ventilated than the houses referred to in the Colonial Surgeon's Report of 15th April, 1874, and which he strongly condemned when he wrote \"in future no houses should be built without sufficient yard space at the back, and in no case should they be built back-to-back.”\n\nCOPY.\n\nIn their report of the 29th of June, 1894, the Permanent Committee of the Sanitary Board advised \"that in any Ordinance to be passed the erection of blocks of houses back-to-back shall be absolutely prohibited, and that every house to be hereafter built shall be required to have at the back or one end of it an open public scavenging lane.\" In the same report we find it stated that \"light and air are the best preservatives against plague\"--an opinion which we most fully endorse, and we say that until means are adopted to thoroughly and effectually light and ventilate the dwellings of the teeming population of this City, so long may we look to the recurrence of the scourge which has already cost the community so much, and which will, as long as its visitations continue, always seriously injure the prosperity of the Colony.\n\n25. In conclusion, we would express the strong opinion that the height of buildings in relation to the width of the streets upon which they front, as provided for in section 12 of Ordinance 15 of 1894, is in excess of what can be regarded as sanitary, and we strongly recommend that this section be repealed and that in lieu thereof, it be enacted that no domestic building to be erected in future shall exceed in height one and a half times the width of the street upon which such building fronts, and that the width of any street shall be measured from the building lines, as defined by the Director of Public Works, on either side of such street, and at right angles to such line or lines.\n\nThe surface-crowding in Victoria is already excessive, especially in the central portion of the city, and we notice with apprehension the tendency to increase the height of buildings on re-erection.\n\nUnless the height of buildings at present authorised, and which we consider excessive, is curtailed, the sanitary condition of the city, even with the enforcement of the open spaces we have recommended, will be little improved, for the increased height of buildings will discount the wider spaces at their rear.\n\nWe have the honour to be,\n\nHonourable T.

His Excellency the Governor (Sir Henry Blake, G.C.M.G.) had kindly promised to perform the ceremony, and his arrival was eagerly awaited by the residents of the locality, who crowded to their windows in scores. As soon as His Excellency and party appeared, he was accorded a typical Chinese greeting—gongs were beaten, crackers were let off, and above all were heard the quaint strains of a Chinese band. Accompanying the Governor were Lady Blake, Miss Blake, Viscount Sairdale (Private Secretary), Lieutenant Blake, A.D.C., and Captain Sanders, A.D.C. They were met by Mr. Ho Tung, who conducted them to a large mat-shed marquee, which had been most elaborately decorated with flags, plants, and bunting. A large gallery had also been erected for the accommodation of the general public. Those present included, in addition to many ladies, Hon. J. H. Stewart Lockhart, C.M.G., Colonial Secretary; Hon. W. Meigh Goodman, Acting Chief Justice; Sir Thomas Jackson, Colonel the O'Gorman, the Hon. F. H. May, C.M.G., Captain Superintendent of Police, Hon. E. R. Belilios, C.M.G., Hon. Dr. Ho Kai, Hon. R. D.

Leiria, &c.\n\nA\n\nMr. Ho Tung, who acted as chairman, presented Lady Blake with a bouquet of flowers, one being also handed to Miss Blake by Miss Ho Kom Tong, the Chairman's niece.\n\nMR. HO TUNG ON THE HISTORY OF THE HOSPITAL.\n\nMr. Ho Tung said—Your Excellency, ladies and gentlemen, You have kindly condescended to be present here to-day to assist at a function which, it is hoped, will mark a distinct epoch in the history of the Tung Wa Hospital. The laying of the foundation stone of the proposed new building to meet the fast-growing needs of the hospital on the other side of the road marks an event of no insignificant importance to those for whom the Tung Wa Hospital was primarily founded. With the completion of the building on this site will be seen the adoption of the plan so felicitously suggested by Your Excellency for the better accommodation of women patients, since it is proposed to embrace within its walls wards for the treatment of midwifery cases and an operating room for the more general handling of surgical cases. Lest I should relegate to a later moment the expression of great indebtedness in which the Directors of the Hospital have been placed by the very liberal response accorded to their appeal for the funds of this institution, permit me now, first of all, to publicly thank Your Excellency for that \"hearty desire to assist\" which was no sooner promised than fulfilled.\n\nFor it is due to Your Excellency's help that the Chinese community have obtained this valuable site from the Government free of cost. Nor are they less grateful to you for opening the subscription list first with your generous donation. An example so conspicuously set was sure to be fruitful of good results. In this, the Directors have cause for much gratification. The community, regardless of race or creed, came forward with their contributions, with a liberality truly remarkable, and within three months, no less an amount than $80,000 has been subscribed. To all those who have so generously subscribed, we say in the words of the Shi-King, \"On you henceforth shall ceaseless blessings bide.\" Having regard to the fact that one of the conditions of this free grant of land, which Your Excellency has been instrumental in obtaining, is that the building should be completed within 18 months from the date of the grant, the Directors feel that without so much substantial aid from one and all, it would have been practically impossible for them to have been successful in carrying out the proposed enlargement of the hospital now so sorely needed.\n\nIt would be ungracious of me were I to omit the individual names of certain gentlemen who were particularly energetic in their assistance with the subscription list. I, therefore, desire to mention the names of Messrs. Lo Chi-tin, Li Youk-chuen, Chau Pik-tsao, Li San-hin, Ho Fook, and Ho Kom-tong in this connection. The Directors remember that when they had the honour of being presented to Your Excellency early this year, you stated that you recognized the difficulty of securing that change which means progress and improvement among a people so tenacious of their customs as the Chinese. I think that were we to look back into the history of this institution, there can be little reason to doubt that \"Example is better than precept,\" for, however deep-seated native sentiments may be in favour of unscientific medical treatment, the results of skill and superior methods as practised by Western nations, though slowly, have surely found their way into the Tung Wa, and this furnishes an excuse for giving a short sketch of its history.\n\nIn 1851, a temple was erected for the reception of ancestral tablets. It soon, however, developed into a kind of native hospital to which Chinese were taken in a moribund condition, and the subsequent history of the Tsz, as the place was then called, is one of neglect and misery, which happily gave way in 1861 to the revival of a plan which had been mooted before for the establishment of a Chinese hospital. Then, as now, the matter was very warmly taken up by the leading Chinese residents, and without difficulty, a sum of $30,000 was subscribed by the Chinese. Preliminary difficulties having been overcome, Earl Granville (1869) approved the expenditure towards levelling and preparing a suitable site for the hospital. And so it was that the site of Taipingshan, this \"hill of universal peace,\" was made a gift of the Queen to the Chinese Community. On the 14th February, 1872, the Hospital was opened with great pomp and ceremony. Governor Sir Richard Graves MacDonnell, who honoured the proceedings by his presence, characterising it as an event of extreme interest not only to the Chinese community but to the community generally. In the concluding portion of the dispatch to the Secretary of State sending an account of the ceremony, the Governor prophetically said that he looked forward with cheerfulness and hope to the future of the Hospital. It would have been a matter of extreme satisfaction could this Father of this Benevolent Institution have lived to witness to-day the vast development of the good work in the inauguration of which he took so leading a part.\n\nFrom its establishment, the Tung Wa Hospital appears to have pursued the even tenor of its way until the year of the first outbreak of bubonic plague in Hong Kong. It was in 1894 that the Tung Wa was brought so much into prominence and with it the alleged maladministration of the institution. So vigorous was the campaign that was waged against this hospital that for a time it occupied much of the attention of the Executive as well as of the Legislative Council. Ultimately, a Commission of Inquiry was appointed in 1896.\n\nPage 516\n\n1896",

He also thought that Officers already in the Service of the Colony and taking the \"Tropical School Course\" should have their tuition fees supported by the Colony. I illustrated and explained that it was unlikely they would recently have gone through a similar course, and proposed to ask for a refund of the tuition fees.\n\nThis despatch is from Sir H. Blake, late Governor. And it says that on the whole it appears best that each case of a doctor already within the service of the Colony desiring to attend the Tropical School during their leave should be considered on its own merits, but that in principle the tuition fees should be paid by the Colony.\n\nC.P. 2-19  \nJun 18/6  \nat once.",

I can only say that anything I have done to help all these institutions has been done with great pleasure, and I shall always be glad to think that anything I have done has been of assistance in helping these institutions to carry on the excellent work with which they are entrusted. I am sorry, gentlemen, that I am about to leave Hongkong and to leave behind me here those whom I have known for many years, and among whom I have made so many real friends. But, gentlemen, the distance from here to Weihaiwei is not very far, and I trust that when I am there I shall have the pleasure of meeting any of my Cantonese friends at Weihaiwei. (Applause.) I have a great belief, gentlemen, in the enterprise of the Cantonese race, and, without wishing to say anything with regard to the other races in China, all I can say is that I trust I shall have the pleasure of seeing Cantonese enterprise in Weihaiwei. I can assure them that if they would only come there I shall be only too glad to offer them a very hearty welcome. (Applause.) I thank you most sincerely, gentlemen, for the very kind references you have made to my wife. There is a general but very false impression that the Chinese have not that high respect for their wives which exists among people in Western lands (Laughter.) That is a false impression, for my knowledge of the Chinese has told me that the wife in China, as in any country, exercises a very wholesome influence over the Chinese community in Hongkong. (Renewed laughter.) I thank you, gentlemen, very much indeed for the kind references you have made to my wife, and I can say I heartily echo everything you have said in regard to her. (Applause.) Gentlemen, it was not necessary for you to present me with this book in order to keep the memory of you green. Nevertheless, I have much pleasure in accepting this book, and when I read it in Weihaiwei it will serve to remind me of the many pleasant days and years which I have spent in this Colony and of my many friends in the Chinese community, who have always proved to me loyal and ready to help whenever I have asked them for assistance. (Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, I now say good-bye, I trust that before long many of us will meet again, and when we do meet, if it is in Weihaiwei, I shall be only too delighted to encourage as many as possible to stay. (Applause.) Now, gentlemen, as the Po Leung Kuk has done me the honour of presenting me with a separate address in Chinese, I shall, with your permission, read my reply to them also in Chinese. (Hear, hear.)\n\nThe reading by Mr. LOCKHART of his reply to the Chinese address was received with loud applause.\n\nOn the call of Dr Ho KAI three cheers and a \"tiger\" were given for Mr. and Mrs. Lockhart, after which the meeting dispersed.\n\nPRESENTATION BY LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL AND STAFF.\n\nAt the conclusion of the above function another similar ceremony took place, the Hon. J. H. Stewart Lockhart being presented with an illuminated address by the members of the Legislative Council and Government Civil Staff. The Hon. W. Meigh Goodman, K.C., Chief Justice, presided, and among others present were—Hon. A. W. Brewin, Hon. R. Murray Rumsey, R.N., Harbour Master; Hon. A. M. Thomson, Hon. Dr. Ho Kai, Hon. C. P. Chater, Dr. J. M. Atkinson, Principal Civil Medical Officer; Dr. J. W. Clark, Medical Officer of Health; Mr. F. J. Badely, Acting Captain Superintendent of Police; Mr. F. A. Hazeland, Police Magistrate.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN said Mr. Lockhart, the members of the Executive and Legislative Councils and we, your fellow-members of the Civil Service in this Colony, have asked you to meet us here to-day, so that we might have an opportunity of bidding you a kindly farewell before you leave Hongkong to take up your new appointment in Weihaiwei. We thought it better to do so to-day, rather than to delay until you were in the midst of the hurry and worry incidental to embarkation, and we have prepared a short address which will be read to you and which will, in due course, be forwarded to you, when the list of signatures is complete. As the hot weather approaches, one always hears the annual cry, \"What a number of people are leaving this season.” But I am sorry to say that, this year, we have not only to face the usual \"migration\" on leave, but we are losing, for all time, many whom we would have gladly retained in our midst. (Applause.) The familiar face of Sir Thomas Jackson, Mr. Thurburn, Mr. Palmer, Dr. Hartigan, Mr. Gillies, and many others will be sadly missed by Hongkong residents, and in addition to our other losses we are, next week, to lose you, Mr. Lockhart, our genial Colonial Secretary. (Applause.) Men of the Mark Tapley order no doubt try to cheer themselves with the proverb that \"There are as good fish in the sea as those which have come out of it,\" but the difficulty is to catch them when you want them, and, as we get older, we are inclined to feel more and more that \"a good bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.\" But we can quite understand that long and excellent service as Colonial Secretary ought to mean \"Promotion,\" and we are all, for your sake, heartily glad that you have gained it. That absolutely restless thing, Time, leaves its marks upon all of us. I believe the ancients depicted it as an old man carrying an hour-glass and a scythe. Through that glass the sands of all our lives are running rapidly, but in your case, at all events, the hour-glass has to be reversed and a fresh lease of life, and, no doubt not, one of still increased usefulness and happiness is accorded you, in other scenes of action (Applause.) I presume the scythe was suggestive of reaping, and we doubt not that in your case the harvest will be, as it should be, one of happiness and satisfaction, because the good and healthy seed you sowed long ago and fostered by hard work and energy has now ripened into the golden grain of public approbation-(applause)- as is shown by the numerous farewell addresses which have been presented to you.\n\nAs you not only received one yesterday, but, I believe, have also received another this morning, already, I will not tire you by prolonging my preliminary remarks, but will now read you the address which we desire to present to you. (Applause.) The address, which was beautifully illuminated and numerously signed, was as follows:-\n\nHongkong, 1st April, 1902.\n\nTo the Honourable J. H. STEWART LOCKHART, C.M.G., F.R.G.S., M.R.A.S.\n\nSir,—The Colony of Hongkong has been your home for more than twenty years, and we cannot allow you to leave the place with which you have been so long identified without asking you to accept a few words of congratulation and our good wishes. So long ago as 1878 you were appointed to a Hongkong cadetship and since that time your life has been mainly passed in this Colony and your best efforts have been directed to its interests and advancement. The services which you have rendered to Hongkong are neither few nor unimportant. In 1883, you were the Superintendent of the Opium Revenue and filled the position of Assistant Colonial Secretary and Assistant Auditor General. In the following year you became Acting Registrar-General. In 1887, two years\n\nPage 176",

        "content_text": "Extract from the \"Hongkong Daily Press\" dated July, 1902.\n\nPRESENTATION OF ADDRESSES.\n\nThe ceremony of presenting the various loyal Addresses to His Excellency for transmission to the King was performed in the Ball Room at Government House at half-past four o'clock. To this function the heads of Government Departments, members of Council and the members of the Coronation Committee and their wives had been invited. The presence of so many ladies, therefore, together with the variegated nature of the uniforms worn by the official guests and the wealth of tropical greenery which decorated the chamber, served to make up an imposing spectacle.\n\nHis Excellency Major-General Sir W. J. Gascoigne, K.C.M.G., the Officer Administering the Government, was dressed in full uniform and wore his Decorations and medals on his breast. His Excellency sat at the top of the hall behind a small table on which were laid the Addresses. Those who were to take part in the presentation ceremony stood in front and the others in the rear of the chair, while the ladies were seated on chairs placed round the upper end of the room.\n\nAmong those present were Lady Gascoigne, His Honour W. Meigh Goodman, Chief Justice; Hon. F. H. May, C.M.G., Colonial Secretary; Hon. Sir Henry Spencer Berkeley, K.B., Attorney-General; Hon. W. Chatham, Director of Public Works, Hon. R. Murray Rumsey, R.N., Harbour Master; His Honour A. G. Wise, Puisne Judge; Captain Hon. H. W. Trefusis, A.D.C., Mr. R. F. Johnston, Private Secretary; Hon. F. J.

Wei A Yuk, Commander Robinson, Lieut-Colonel Hughes; Rev. E. J. Hardy, Chaplain to H. M. Forces; Right Rev. Bishop Piazzoli and the Rev. Fathers of the R.C. Church; Mr. E. A. Hewett, Hon. Secretary of the Coronation Committee; Mr. F. A. Hazeland, Police Magistrate; Rev. C. H. Hickling, Union Church; Dr. J. M. Atkinson, Principal Civil Medical Officer; Mr. H. N. Mody, Mr. Fung Wa Chun, Mr. Ho Tung; Mr. R. C. Wilcox, Mr. D. E. Brown, Mr. T. R. heid, Mr. E. H. Sharp; Mr. J. W. Norton Kyshe, Registrar; Mr. W. Poate, Captain Pritchard, H.K.V.C.; Mr. Ho Fook; Mr. C. Molony Messer, Acting Registrar-General; Captain Percy Scott, C.B.; Mr. A. G. Romano, Consul-General for Portugal; Mr. A. J. Raymond, Mr. E. Gompertz, Mr. P. P. J. Wodehouse, Mr. Mowbray S. Northcote, Mr. Gershom Stewart, Dr. G. M. Harston, Mr. F. Maitland, Mr. J. Leiria, and many Naval and Military officers.\n\nThe Masonic deputation, dressed in full regalia, was headed by Mr. E. C. Ray, Deputy District Grand Master, and consisted of Messrs. L. Mallory, E. Ormiston, H. W. Heuermann, G. L. Tomlin, Dr. F. W. Clark, Messrs. G. Piercy, F. W. Edwards, G. J. B. Sayer, A. O'D. Gourdin, W. J. Tutcher and F. D. Goddard, District Grand Lodge; J. Bryan, E. Brotherton Harker, Zetland; G. J. Edwards, E. H. Kay, C. W. Longue, Victoria; W. H. Wickham, A. G. Ward, Perseverance; G. G. Burnett, H. W. Wolfe, United Service; J. A. Tarrant, H. Jewitt, W. M. Everall, St. John's; and P. C. Hyett, Naval and Military.\n\nThe company having assembled and taken their places, His Excellency indicated that he was now ready to receive the Addresses.\n\nHis Honour W. Meigh Goodman stepped forward and said—Your Excellency,—Before reading and presenting to Your Excellency an Address to His Majesty the King, from the people of Hongkong, I would crave permission to make some few preliminary observations. As Your Excellency is aware, the date originally fixed for the Coronation of Their Majesties was the 26th June last. It was for that occasion that the Address was intended: and it was written, illuminated, signed by considerably more than a thousand persons, its cover of gold and velvet was designed and completed, and it was all in readiness before the sad tidings that His Majesty's illness necessitated the postponement of the Coronation, reached this Colony.\n\nIn these circumstances, it was thought better, and I believe Your Excellency quite concurred in that view, that the Address should still be presented. We know the keen, personal interest taken by His Majesty in every part of the British Dominions, even in those portions the furthest removed from the mother land; and it may well be that the respectful expression of loyalty and devotion to the King and the Royal family, embodied in the Address, may be as much appreciated by His Majesty during, let us hope, his period of convalescence, as if those expressions had been received by him some weeks after the Coronation had actually taken place.\n\nThere has never been a Coronation of any British Monarch since Hongkong became a Colony. The glorious reign of Her late revered Majesty, the longest known in British history, extended over such a lengthened period, that when the mournful message of her demise was flashed to us across the seas, we could, at first, hardly realise that Victoria the Good was no more. The very keystone of the arch of the British Empire seemed to have been taken away. In such a crisis we can but faintly understand the enormous burden of responsibility that fell upon the shoulders of His present Majesty.\n\nWho could fill her place? Who but that eldest son, who for so long had stood beside her as the years increased, had helped to sustain her, had seen her enrage, had watched her noble life, and her love for her people, could have worthily occupied the glorious Throne she had vacated? How valuable his life! Some thirty years ago there was a public thanksgiving at St. Paul's Cathedral for his deliverance from a terrible illness. Let us hope that, ere long, there may be another similar thanksgiving for his second deliverance, and for health and strength restored.\n\nWhen Her late Majesty ascended the Throne, her heritage was doubtless both great and noble; but, when we compare the British Empire of to-day with that which existed at the accession of Queen Victoria, we can realise more fully how vastly that Empire and the responsibilities of its Sovereign have increased during the interval. Colonies not born when Victoria ascended the Throne have now attained to vigorous manhood, and are joining their prayers with ours for His Majesty's speedy recovery.\n\nKing Edward VII is not only King\n\nPage 25",

        "content_text": "226\n\n22 a\n\n11\n\nAs to the relative prevalence of the three species of Anopheles, I am not able to speak as regards the 294 Anopheles which I received during the last quarter of 1900, but of 875 received during the three quarters of 1901 included in this research, 483 were Anopheles Sinensis, 249 Anopheles Maculatus, and 143 Anopheles Minimus.\n\n10. I have differentiated twelve species of Culex, which I describe at length in the Appendix. There are probably considerably more, as some of the varieties of certain species which I describe may be regarded by entomologists as distinct species. I do not attempt to follow Theobald in his new classification of mosquitoes, just published in the Tropical Journal, into twenty-four different genera, breaking up the old genus Culex into some twenty new genera, based on the arrangement of the scales which cover the insects. For instance, he now describes Culex Scutellaris and Culex Obturbans, two of the most common of the Hongkong mosquitoes, as Stegomyia Scutellaris and Armigeres Obturbans. Culex Fatigans, Culex Scutellaris, Culex Obturbans, and Culex Concolor have been described before. Culex Aulus, Culex Sericeus, and Culex Reesii are new species, and have been named by Mr. Theobald from specimens which I submitted to him. Culex Reesii he has so called from our mutual friend Dr. D. C. Rees, lately Superintendent of the London School of Tropical Medicine, who put me in communication with Mr. Theobald. The insects which I have indicated by the letters, \"n\", \"o\", \"p\", \"r\", \"r\", and \"s\", I have carefully described, but not named. \"p\" may be Culex Fuscanus; the others are, I think, new species but this question I shall remit to Mr. Theobald at the British Museum.\n\nCulex Scutellaris is the black and white striped mosquito so common all over the Colony during the day time; Culex Fatigans and Culex Reesii are the equally common brown mosquitoes, to be found everywhere and at all seasons in the evening; Culex Obturbans is the very large dark mosquito, also very widely prevalent. The others are less abundant, but for the most part occur pretty generally throughout the Colony.\n\nIt may be noted in passing that Culex Fatigans is the most usual intermediate host of the blood parasite, Filaria Nocturna, the cause of Elephantiasis and its kindred diseases, by no means uncommon in this locality.\n\nWhile Anopheles as a rule only use for breeding purposes clean water in more or less natural collections, the various species of Culex lay their eggs wherever stagnant water exists, in broken dishes, empty tins, flower pots, water tanks or barrels, drain traps, and the like. Nothing is too dirty to have its appropriate mosquito developing in it. Culex Obturbans is the most loathsome of all in its larval state, finding its most favourable conditions in decomposing urine.\n\n11. I do not propose to enter here into details of prophylaxis against these insects, which I have dealt with in special reports: but direct attention to certain observations which I made during the winter.\n\nI found the larvae of Anopheles in the nullahs throughout the whole winter, in scarcely diminished numbers, though there were few in the pupa stage, and development at that season is evidently very slow or arrested.\n\nI was able to note the effects of severe cold at the beginning of February. On 1st February, I had made a careful examination of the Kennedy Town nullah, and found Anopheles larvæ plentiful. On the 3rd there was a sudden rapid drop in the temperature, and when I examined the stream again on the 5th there were few larvæ to be seen. It seemed as if they had been killed by the cold. But fortunately I had some larvæ under observation at the time in a glass jar in my verandah. Under the influence of the cold these became torpid or sluggish, and most of them seemed dead.\n\nOn the 7th, however, the sun shone out brightly, and the seemingly dead ones as well as the others became quite lively again. It is probable, therefore, that much of the diminution in numbers of the larvae in the ravines during the winter is more apparent than real, since they are most easily recognised in ordinary circumstances by their very characteristic movements when disturbed.\n\nDr. J.

The **COLONIAL TREASURER** seconded, and the motion was adopted.\n\nThe **COLONIAL SECRETARY** laid on the table the Report of the Finance Committee (No. 6) and moved its adoption. The **COLONIAL TREASURER** seconded, and the motion was agreed to.\n\n## PAPERS.\nThe **COLONIAL SECRETARY** laid on the table the report of the Director of Public Works for 1902 and correspondence respecting the proposal to remove the Naval Yard.\n\n### THE NEW POST OFFICE\nThe **DIRECTOR of PUBLIC WORKS** laid on the table the following minutes of the Public Works Committee:-\n\n#### Competitive Designs\nAt a meeting held on 13th July the replies received from the various Heads of Departments to the request of the Committee for criticism of the designs submitted, which had been again closely examined, especially with regard to the Post Office arrangements, the access to the offices generally, and some of the principal matters of arrangement affecting the Departments to be accommodated, were read. The designs were numbered 2, the description of the proposed building which accompanied that design was read. Sir C. P. Chater then moved that the design numbered 2 be accepted. Mr. Shewan seconded. Carried unanimously. It was unanimously agreed that the design numbered 2 be awarded the further premium of $1,300 provided under the conditions of competition.\n\nThe Chairman having asked whether there was any other matter relative to the building which members desired to lay before the Government, Mr. Shewan moved that, in view of the great value of the property; the fact that the building is designed to take a fourth storey; and the probability that additional accommodation for some of the Departments to be housed will be required in the first place, be constructed four storeys at no very distant date; the building should, in height, be made four storeys high. Mr. Dickson seconded. It was pointed out by Sir C. P. Chater and Mr. Shewan that the building would be more in harmony with those adjacent to it if it were made four storeys high. The motion was agreed to unanimously.\n\n### VICT PRISON ON STONECUTTERS' ISLAND.\nThe **D.P.W.** also submitted minutes showing that at a meeting of the Public Works Committee on 20th July the Chairman laid before the Committee plans which had been prepared for the establishment of a Convict Prison on Stone-cutters' Island and explained that the scheme was capable of being expanded so as to provide for the removal of the entire Gaol to that place so far as such removal was deemed practicable.\n\nHe also read the report of a Committee appointed in 1901 to consider the question and certain recent correspondence between the Colonial Office and War Department on the subject.\n\n#### Competitive Designs for Post Treasury, &c.\nThe designs, three in number, were closely scrutinised and, after some discussion as to the best method of procedure, it was unanimously agreed that a comparative statement should first be drawn up, showing, in parallel columns, the requirements set forth in the conditions of competition and the extent to which these were fulfilled by the several designs and that this statement should be forwarded to the Heads of Departments to be housed in the new building with a request that they would criticise the designs and state which they considered best in point of arrangement as regarded their various departments.\n\nHonourable Colonial Treasurer moved:--That the Government be requested to have the report of the committee appointed in 1901 to consider the question of transferring the Gaol to Stone-cutters' Island, together with any subsequent papers bearing upon the question, printed for this Committee.

        "content_text": "## Council Proceedings\n\nway can be found? I respectfully submit that the answer should be, \"No; for we know no other way to prevent waste but the way recommended by Mr. Chadwick, the expert you yourself sent out. Ask his opinion, and we are prepared to abide by his opinion.\" If I may move a resolution, I move that the Bill be not read a first time.\n\nThe **GOVERNOR**-I venture to point out that before we can go farther in this discussion these observations of His Excellency the Major-General would more properly be made on the second reading. The Bill is really not before the Council at all until it is read a first time and it is impossible for the Council to know what is the meaning of the Bill until it is brought before them and read a first time. When the Bill comes on for second reading, then, I venture to suggest to His Excellency, would be the time for the observations that have now been offered. The Bill is not yet before the Council at all. The first reading is always matter of pro forma. When the Bill is brought on for second reading hon. members will have an opportunity of seeing and discussing the Bill as brought before them.\n\nHon. R. **SHEWAN**-Sir, I would be willing to give way in this matter, but as I shall not be present at the next meeting of the Council I would ask your indulgence.\n\n**HIS EXCELLENCY** signified his consent, and, Hon. Mr. **SHEWAN** proceeded-I was very pleased to hear the remarks that have fallen from your Excellency with regard to the position of matters and our being given time to consider the Bill in the second reading. At the last meeting of the Council I strongly objected to a Bill being rushed through the second reading without printing the amendments or giving the public time to read the Bill and consider it. I do not know, but I suppose that the intention in deciding that a Bill should be read three times was that the Bill should be discussed and considered three separate times. However, we will come to that part later on. With regard to this Bill, if you will allow me I should like to second the motion of His Excellency Major-General Gascoigne, with whose remarks in making that motion I entirely agree. The Bill we had before us last year was very carefully considered, but we have not tried it. I do not think it is right that, after we had carefully considered and discussed and thoroughly threshed out the question of the water supply of this Colony, which was certainly a very great evil last year, we should have all our work undone on account of a few Chinese agitators who, after all, are only led by the nose by a lot of clerks from architects' offices, in whom is exemplified the old saying, \"A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.\" I think it is possible that better ways may be found, but why not let us first try the hydrant system? We know that Chinese coolies and other people like that will waste the water, while we who pay by the meter have to suffer. Let the Government first try that system; if it will not work in a certain district, then it will be time to consider other measures. I agree with Major-General Gascoigne that the matter was very carefully considered and threshed out, and this scheme, especially as it is endorsed by the experts. I think we could have got more impartial experts, but still, they were on the Government side, and the Government ought not to go back on them now.\n\nThe **COLONIAL SECRETARY**-Sir, if I may speak, I think the object of this Bill has been misapprehended; it is quite as much to stop waste as was that of the Bill which was introduced last year. The rider-main system was first proposed by Mr. Chadwick himself with a view to facilitating the distribution of water during the operation of the intermittent system. The rider-main system can be equally well adapted to the prevention of waste. It is simply, if I may describe it in a few short words, a system of huge meters for blocks of buildings instead of separate meters for separate houses. The principle of the Bill was carefully considered by both Mr. Chadwick and Professor Simpson, who was here at the same time as Mr. Chadwick, and it has been adopted and endorsed by both of these experts. I do not think, sir, that the suggestion of the hon. member who seconded the motion that this Colony should go to the expense of first introducing a street fountain system, will commend itself to this Council. It will cost a great deal of money, and if as he suggests it is to be in the nature of an experiment, I fear the experiment would be a very expensive one. I repeat again, the object of the Bill, the object we all have before us, is the prevention of waste. The experts, especially Mr. Chadwick, are of opinion that the waste could be stopped by this system, the Council for leave to introduce a Bill, but to what may be called the principle of the Bill. Our local advisers here are also of the same opinion, and we trust that the hopes of His Excellency the General Officer Commanding, that waste will be prevented, will be realised by this Bill.\n\nHon. R. **SHEWAN**-Sir, I think the Colonial Secretary is out of order.\n\nThe **ATTORNEY-GENERAL**-The Colonial Secretary is in order, and cannot speak again.\n\nHon. Mr. **SHEWAN**-He seconded the motion on the subsequent motion. I made a motion, and the Colonial Secretary seconded; the hon. member opposite, H.E. Major-General Gascoigne, then made a subsequent motion, and that has been seconded. The Colonial Secretary is entitled to speak on that distinct one from the original motion.\n\n**HIS EXCELLENCY** ruled that the Colonial Secretary was in order, and, The **COLONIAL SECRETARY** proceeded-The rider-main system was first proposed by Mr. Chadwick himself with a view to the prevention of waste, and it is for that purpose that it is now sought to be introduced-for the prevention of waste. It is simply a system of huge meters for blocks of buildings instead of separate meters for separate houses.\n\nThe **ATTORNEY-GENERAL**-I hope the Council will at once reject this motion, which is one which, whatever it may be designed to do, will have the effect of stifling the discussion of a matter of the greatest interest to the Chinese in this Colony. The Chinese in this community are as a hundred to one or more, and they by an immense majority in a petition to the Secretary of State laid before him certain reasons which they believed ought to be laid before him to allow this Government to introduce a measure which would alter in some particulars the Water Bill we passed last year. I say at once that neither the hon. member who moved the rejection of the Bill nor the hon. member who seconded intended or wished for an amendment to prevent the Chinese members of this community from being heard in this Council and advocating anything that they believe to be for their good. Whatever the hon. mover and the hon. seconder may desire, the effect of their motion if entertained by this Council would be to impose upon the Chinese a measure which they believe to be against their interests and to prevent this Council from having an opportunity of hearing anything that can be said on their part. I would ask the hon. mover and seconder to withdraw the motion, which I am sure most have been made under a misapprehension. It is one of the most unusual motions ever made in any legislative or deliberative body that leave to be not granted to introduce a Bill. That is to say, \"I won't hear you; I do not care whether you have reason or no reason to put forward for the proposal you are going to advance; I won't hear you.\"\n\nThe **GOVERNOR**-There is no necessity for a motion such as this. A negative will be quite sufficient.\n\nThe Council divided with the following result-For the first reading-Mr. Dickson, Mr. Stewart, Mr. Wei Yuk, Dr. Ho Kai, Sir C. P. Chater, Dr. Atkinson, Mr. Chatham, Commander Ramsey, Mr. Thomson, Sir Henry Berkeley and Mr. May; against - Major-General Gascoigne and Mr. Shewan.\n\nThe **ATTORNEY-GENERAL** moved the second reading of the Bill entitled an Ordinance to amend the Foreshores and Sea-Bed Ordinance No. 21 of 1901, and to repeal sub-section (1.) of section 1 of Ordinance No. 11 of 1902. He said The reasons for the introduction of this Bill are set out in the objects and reason attached to the Bill, which are as follows:-To reduce the period of notice required by the first proviso to section 3 of Ordinance No. 2 of 1901 from three months to one month. The reduction is desired because it has been found unnecessary and inconvenient in practice to require such a long period of notice as three months to be given before the Governor can grant Crown leases of foreshore or sea-bed, now move, sir, that this Bill be read a second time. I \n\nThe **COLONIAL SECRETARY** seconded, and the motion was agreed to.\n\nThe Council then went into committee on the Bill, and a new clause having been added the third reading was not taken when the Council resumed.\n\n## LAND CLAIMS IN THE NEW TERRITORY\n\nThe Council went into committee on the Bill entitled an Ordinance to facilitate the hearing, determination, and settlement of land claims in the New Territories, to establish a Land Court, and for other purposes.\n\nSection 2 as printed was the subject of a series of amendments proposed by the Hon. Dr. Ho Kai...",

This affects the question of disinfection, for as the plague bacillus is found in these vermin it is evident that no disinfection that does not kill the vermin will reach the bacillus.\n\nH. A. B.\n\n14-7-03.\n\nGOVERNMENT PUBLIC MORTUARY, 11th August, 1903,\n\n**SIR,**\n\nI have the honour to submit the following Report on the question as to how long bugs survive in a solution of Jeyes' Fluid, for the information of His Excellency the Governor. Attached is a detailed account of the experiments performed.\n\nFrom these experiments I venture to draw the following conclusions :-\n\n1. It is obvious that Jeyes' Fluid of such a concentration as used in Series A and B is not of much practical value.\n2. The killing power of Jeyes' Fluid as employed in Series C and D is uncertain, even after 15 minutes.\n3. If bugs are to be exterminated with certainty, it is apparent that the concentration of Jeyes' Fluid as employed in Series E and F must be used.\n\nThe Honourable  \nJ. M. ATKINSON, M.B.,  \nPrincipal Civil Medical Officer,\n\nI have the honour to be  \nSir,  \nYour obedient Servant,  \nWILLIAM HUNTER.\n\n## THE ACTION OF JEYES' FLUID ON BUGS.\n\n### A.

Immediately on immersion, the animals showed vigorous movements of the legs and moved about actively in the fluid. This, in a few seconds, is succeeded by a few convulsive efforts in all the extremities continuing from 1 to 2 seconds. Subsequently, all movements ceased.\n\nOn expiration of the time limit of the particular experiment, the animals were transferred to a clean, dry glass capsule and frequently examined by a low power microscopic objective. For some considerable time, no movements on the part of the animal were detected. e.g., Experiment No. 3 - for 5 minutes. At the expiration of this time, slight convulsive seizures in the body and extremities commenced; these became gradually more pronounced and eventually more purposive until the animals completely recovered.\n\nWashing the animals in water after immersion in Jeyes' Fluid solution or exposure to the sun accelerates their recovery.\n\n### B.

        "content_text": "# Extract from the \"Hongkong Daily Press\" dated 4th August, 1903\n\n## PREVENTION OF PLAGUE\n\n## THE EXPERIMENTAL BLOCK\n\nYesterday afternoon His Excellency the Governor Sir Henry A. Blake, G.C.M.G. formally handed back to the Sanitary Board the block of 16 tenement houses in Second and Third Streets which he had taken over with a view to the carrying out of experimental measures for the prevention of plague as well as new methods of cleansing. The block in question consisted of 253 houses, with 614 floors and a population of 7,701 people. To begin with, the south side of Second Street and the north side of Third Street, between Eastern Street and Western Street, were taken over at the end of April. The first thing set about was the erection of hot water tanks of over 300 gallons capacity each, in Wei On Lane, Tak Sing Lane, and Sheung Fung Lane. These tanks were used by the inhabitants of the district for dipping their bed-boards and such other furniture as would be likely to harbour vermin. Attached to the same furnaces which heated the tanks were bath-houses, two for men and two for women. A systematic cleansing-out of each house was then undertaken by the people themselves, under the supervision of Police Inspector J. H. Gidley. From nine to twelve floors were washed out each day. About the middle of May both sides of Second and Third Streets between Eastern and Western Streets, and all the lanes and cross-streets within that boundary, were taken in hand and treated in the same way. Latterly an empty house in the district was engaged and fitted up as a temporary hospital, and in the event of infectious disease occurring the patient was removed there and the people living in the same house, after washing it out and disinfecting their clothing, etc., were allowed to remain in it. For the purposes of carrying out the scheme, a Kaifong was elected by the community of that district, and they lent valuable assistance to the authorities in the work.\n\nThe ceremony of handing back the block to the Sanitary Board took place at noon in Second Street, at the point where it is crossed by Centre Street. H.E. the Governor was accompanied by Lady Blake and Sir John Keswick, A.D.C.; and there were also present Hon. Dr. J. M. Atkinson, P.C.M.O., President of the Sanitary Board; Hon. W. Chatham, D.P.W., Vice-President; Hon. F. H. May, Colonial Secretary; Mr. Fung Wa Chun, Mr. Ho Kum Tong, Inspector Gidley, and the members of the Kaifong. Before the proceedings began a photograph of the group was taken.\n\n## HIS EXCELLENCY said\n\nDr. Atkinson, Mr. Chatham, and Mr. Fung Wa Chun—I am about to hand back to you this block of buildings that over three months ago you handed to me, to see whether I could get the Chinese people to help themselves and assist in sanitary measures. When I came down here three months ago I was by no means certain that the experiment upon which I had determined to enter would be a success. I asked the people, the leading men of the two streets, to form a Kaifong, and seventeen of them came forward for that purpose. I now take this opportunity of thanking these seventeen respectable men, who have assisted me during these three months. Among these men I would especially mention the names of Chan Ki, Chak Cheung, Wong Wah, and Tiu Wi, whom I always found foremost in the good work of teaching the people how best to help themselves in fighting this terrible epidemic of plague. When I came here I promised the people that if they would clean their houses and if they would give notice of cases of disease, those who were affected by plague should be treated in their own houses, and I promised also that they should have tanks in which to dip their bed-boards and furniture, and bath-houses in which to wash themselves and enable them to keep themselves clean.\n\nBefore we could get the baths and tanks erected, I came down, and within three days I found the whole of the furniture of this street put on the street, and the people themselves had already begun to clean and wash their houses as well as they could. I have not a full account of all the people who used the baths during these three months, but 27,255 people have been noted as using these baths. The district that the Kaifong have been looking after consists of 253 houses, with 614 floors, and with a population of 7,701 people. I am told by Inspector Gidley, who deserves the thanks of the public for the way in which he has worked for the last three months, that he and the Kaifong had no difficulty in getting the people to turn out their houses, and to do whatever they were recommended by him to do in the way of disinfection and cleanliness. Mr. Fung Wa Chun my thanks are also due for the constant care that he has exercised in the supervision of the block; and to show the spirit in which this experiment was taken up by various people, I may say that within a week of taking over the block Mr. Ho Kum Tong handed to Inspector Gidley $200 to be distributed among the destitute people left by those who might be taken away by the plague. The landlords of the houses required for the baths not alone had the houses at once evacuated and handed over to me, but they one and all refused to take any rent for the houses for the two months, and two landlords, Yu Shan Tin and Wong Chun Chao, have refused to take any rent at all for their houses up to the present. No country could show a greater public spirit than this, for it must be remembered that these landlords are not rich men owning large properties, but are the landlords that live among you and own these small tenements in the district. I thank them most heartily for the public spirit which they have shown. Now, coming to the incidence of plague during the last three months, one of the principal duties...\n\nPage 353 \nREUT \nRG. 24 SEP 03! \n284",

        "content_text": "## extract from HONG KONG TELEGRAPH of 20th December 1903\n\n## HONG KONG CIVIL SERVANTS' ADDRESS TO H.E. THE GOVERNOR\n\nThe Chief Justice, Sir W. M. Goodman, on behalf of the Civil Servants of Hongkong, attended at Government House this afternoon, and, in the presence of a large gathering of officials and others, presented H.E. Sir H. A. Blake with an illuminated address, signed by the servants in Government offices. There were present, in addition to Sir Henry and Lady Blake, Sir John Keane, A.D.C., and Sir W. M. Goodman, Mr. A. G. Wise, Hon. F. H. May, Hon. J. S. Berkeley, Hon. W. Chatham, Hon. A. W. Brewin, Hon. L. A. M. Johnston, Hon. Basil Taylor, Hon. Dr. Atkinson, Dr. Feasey, Dr. Bainett, Dr. Anderson, Dr. T. Bateson Wright, Messrs. C. McI. Masser, S. B. C. Ross, H. P. Tooker, R. F. Johnson, C. Clementi, G. A. Woodcock, A. Seth, Bruce Shepherd, J. Hanson, H. J. Baker, Jones, and many other Civil Servants, besides a large number of ladies.\n\nSir William Goodman assured H.E. of the sincerity with which they regretted his departure, and said they felt they were not only losing an able Governor, but a wise and sympathetic friend (Applause). He afterwards handed him the address, enclosed in a beautifully carved blackwood case, bearing the following inscription on a silver shield: \"Presented to H.E. Sir Henry Arthur Blake, G.C.M.G., by the Civil Servants of Hongkong, on his departure for Ceylon. November, 1903.\"\n\nH.E., in thanking them for their kind expressions of regret, said he had no hesitation in saying that nobody among public servants in the wide empire of the Crown had done their work more faithfully than those in Hongkong. He personally thanked them for the thoroughness of their work, which had made his task easy and pleasant, and which would, he hoped, bring to them in future a due reward for public services faithfully and efficiently performed. The instinct of hard work was amongst them, and fair criticism ought not to be unwelcomed or disregarded. They had the good fortune of having a press, which he had no hesitation in saying was not alone independent but as fair a press as he had known in any colony. Its standard was high, and it was absolutely free from that scurrility and personality that he had seen now and again elsewhere (Applause). It was a great satisfaction to him to know that in departing from Hongkong he had left some good men amongst them, whose names would be well known in the future. On behalf of Lady Blake and himself, he thanked them most warmly for their kindness, which was most heartily reciprocated. He wished them every prosperity in the future (Applause).\n\n## The following is the text of the address:\n\nTo His Excellency SIR HENRY ARTHUR BLAKE, G.C.M.G., Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Colony of Hongkong and its Dependencies, and Vice-Admiral of the same.\n\nMay it please Your Excellency,—Before Your Excellency leaves this Colony to take up the important appointment which His Majesty the King has been pleased to confer upon you, it is the desire of those who have served under you in Hongkong to express their regret at the prospect of your early departure, and the high respect and admiration which they have learned to feel for Your Excellency. All sections of the community must be aware that since your arrival in this Colony in 1898, you have never spared yourself in labouring for its welfare, but none can know this so well as those who have had the privilege of working under your direction. The period of your administration has been a momentous one in the history of the Colony, and has had its special difficulties and anxieties. Not only has Hongkong grown steadily in wealth and prosperity, but its area has been largely extended by the occupation of the New Territory. With the advance of the Colony in Imperial and Commercial importance, increased responsibilities and new problems have arisen, demanding from the Governor no small measure of sagacity and administrative skill.\n\nIn our own endeavours conscientiously to perform our humbler part in the increasing labours of the Government, we have all been cheered and encouraged by the knowledge that the highest example of hard work, energy, and enthusiasm has been shown us by Your Excellency; and at the same time, we desire gratefully to acknowledge the courtesy, consideration, and sympathy which you, as head of the Civil Service, have invariably extended to all its members. The Crown has already recognised Your Excellency's administrative abilities by conferring upon you the highest appointments in several of the colonies of the Empire. In your administration of the Bahamas, Newfoundland, and Jamaica, and here again in Hongkong, Your Excellency has proved that the Royal choice could have fallen on none worthier or better fitted to carry on the high traditions of British justice, integrity, impartiality, and earnestness which, no less than in the mother-country, are so proudly cherished in the King's Dominions beyond the Seas. The experience gained by Your Excellency during so long a period and in so many Colonies has added year by year to the value of your services. It was therefore with great satisfaction that we, the Civil Servants in this Colony, learned that His Majesty had selected you to be Governor of the Colony of Ceylon, one of the fairest as it is one of the most important of all His Majesty's possessions.\n\nWe feel confident that Your Excellency's term of administration in Ceylon will be accompanied by the uniform success which has attended your administration of four other Colonies; and the Civil Service of Hongkong, while regretfully taking leave of a Head for whom it has the highest regard, congratulates the sister-service in Ceylon on its acquisition of so capable, just, and considerate a Governor. In conclusion, we desire to express our heartfelt wish that, not only in Ceylon but elsewhere, Good Health, Prosperity, and Happiness may long be granted both to Your Excellency and Lady Blake.\n\nWe have the honour to subscribe ourselves\n\nYour Excellency's\n\nMost obedient humble servants,\n\n[Here follow signatures]",

        "content_text": "# Extract from Hong Kong Daily Press\n\n## THE DEPARTURE OF SIR HENRY BLAKE\n\n### HONGKONG'S FAREWELL\n\nAfter five years of administration of the government of Hongkong, His Excellency Sir Henry A. Blake, G.C.M.G., departed on Saturday to take up the Governorship of Ceylon. The farewell greeting that he got from the community of the Colony was such as to leave a lasting memory in His Excellency's mind of the feelings of respect and affection with which he is regarded by the people of this Colony. Unfortunately, the weather was not auspicious, for it rained steadily all day long and the streets were ankle-deep in mud. Sir Henry Blake was accompanied by Lady Blake and Sir John Keane, A.L.C. The party left Government House shortly after eleven o'clock, in chairs, and proceeded to the City Hall where a large assembly of the citizens had met to present His Excellency with a farewell address. Afterwards, they proceeded to Blake Pier and went by launch out to the P. & O. s.s. Malta by which they are to journey to Ceylon.\n\n### ADDRESS AT THE CITY HALL\n\nFor the occasion, St. Andrew's Hall had been decorated with palm, ferns, and flowers under the superintendence of Mr. W. J. Tutcher of the Botanical and Afforestation Department. A raised platform was placed at the upper end. The Governor's party rode from Government House to the hall by way of Albert Road, past the Government offices into and down Garden Road, and across Queen's Road. The route was lined by the Indian soldiers of the 110th Mahrattas and 93rd Burmas. On arrival at the hall, His Excellency, accompanied by Lady Blake and Sir John Keane, took up his central position on the dais, the assembly standing up meanwhile. When seats had been resumed, His Honour the Chief Justice, Sir William Goodman, wearing his robes, entered by the side door, accompanied by the unofficial members of the Legislative Council and the committee of the Chamber of Commerce as follows: Sir Paul Chater, Hon. Gershom Stewart, Hon. C. W. Dickson, Hon. Dr. Ho Kai, Hon. Wei Yuk, Messrs. E. A. Hewett, D. R. Law, N. A. Siebs, A. G. Wood, J. R. M. Smith. Among others present in the hall were the Puisne Judge (Mr. A. G. Wise), the Colonial Secretary (Hon. F. H. May, C.M.G.), Hon. L. A. M. Johnston (Acting Colonial Treasurer), Hon. Sir H. S. Berkeley (Attorney-General), Hon. W. Chatham (Director of Public Works), Hon. Basil Taylor (Harbour Master), Hon. A. W. Brewin (Registrar-General), Dr. J. M. Atkinson, Colonel L. F. Brown, Colonel Birdwood, Colonel Wylly, Major Dopping Hepenstall, Messrs. C. A. Tomes, H. W. Looker, H. P. Tooker, A. Ramjohn, M. S. Northcote, H. N. Mody, A. G. Romano, Consul-General for Portugal; T. Liebert, Consul for France; E. Hamman, Consul for Belgium; L. Volpicelli, Consul-General for Italy; E. Mnelle, Consul for Peru, C. Clementi, H. W. Slade, E. H. Sharp, K.C., B. Layton, J. Hastings, H. J. Gedge, K. F. Johnston, Major Radcliff, M. W. Slade, E. A. Hewett, P. W. Sergeant, B. James, Bishop Piazzoli, Rev. Father Beaublat, Procureur des Missions Etrangères; Rev. Fathers Spada, de Maria, and Gabardi, Messrs. Ho Tang, Ho Fook, Ho Kom Tong, Chan Siu Ki, Yong Won Chang, Leung Pia Chi, Taung Shi Kai, Wong Kom Fuk, Lo Koon Ting, Fung Wa Chun, Lo Cheung Shiu, Lam Chi Fung, Chun Law Hung, and Ian Chu Pak; and a good proportion of ladies.\n\nAs the deputation entered the hall, the whole assembly rose to their feet.\n\nSir William Goodman then addressed His Excellency as follows: - Your Excellency,--- We have met here this morning to present to your Excellency an address from the people of this Colony expressing, now that you are about to leave us, their appreciation of your work here as Governor and their hearty good wishes for your success and well-being in the future. I feel it a great honour to have been specially asked to act on this occasion for those who have signed that address, representing, as they do, not only the British residents but also the various nationalities which go to make up the general community of Hongkong;\n\nof 254 November 1987. 5727 \nand in their name, I will ask your Excellency's permission to read that address and then to add a few words by way of personal expression.\n\nSir William then read the following address: -\n\n**To His Excellency Sir Henry Arthur Blake, G.C.M.G., Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Colony of Hongkong and its Dependencies and Vice-Admiral of the same.**\n\nYour Excellency, - We, the undersigned residents of Hongkong, on the eve of your departure to take up the important post His Majesty has been graciously pleased to confer upon you, desire to express our appreciation of the valuable services rendered to this Colony during your Excellency's term of office here. The administration of a Crown Colony at a distance of more than ten thousand miles from the mother country cannot, even in ordinary times, prove an easy task. We realise that the difficulties attendant upon a peaceful and successful government of this Colony were increased during the earlier period of your Excellency's tenure of office by the disastrous outbreak in the neighbouring Empire, and we are glad to think that at this critical period the government of the Colony was in your able hands.\n\nIt is impossible in the brief space afforded us by an address to go into detail as to the various phases of your Excellency's administration, but we would specially refer to a few of the more important.\n\nDuring your term of office, the boundaries of the Colony have been extended from 27 square miles to 400 square miles, an increase which naturally adds largely to the work of administration, and we rejoice to feel that the disturbances and resistance met with in taking over the New Territory were promptly and decisively overcome, and that the population have since maintained a peaceful and contented attitude, indicating the satisfaction they feel with the system of Government it has fallen upon your Excellency to introduce and administer for the last five years.\n\nThe projects for the erection of various urgently needed public buildings, notably the new Post Office, have been accelerated through your Excellency's personal endeavours.\n\nAmong other questions which have engaged your Excellency's attention has been the extending of the road-system of the Colony, and in particular the opening-up of the New Territory by the construction of the main Tai-po Road.\n\nThe proposed Praya East Reclamation Scheme, the immense importance of which your Excellency was prompt to recognise and strongly advocated, has up to the present been found impossible of execution owing to difficulties with certain of the authorities in England, but we trust that your efforts to secure this desired expansion of the city will ultimately be crowned with success.\n\nThe burning question of the site for the Naval Dock Yard has been dealt with so recently that it is unnecessary here to go into details, but the protest made by the Colony against the Admiralty scheme was warmly supported by your Excellency, who fully recognised the injury it would entail upon the City of Victoria. In this connection, we can assure you that the earnest endeavours made by your Excellency to induce the Naval Authorities to reconsider their adverse decision, and thus secure for the city an unbroken sea-front and its legitimate expansion, will be gratefully remembered.\n\nThe last and most important act of your Excellency's administration in this Colony has been the founding of the Hongkong Improvement Trust, which we are convinced will have far-reaching effects and will confer upon the Colony incalculable benefits which will last so long as Hongkong continues to be a centre for trade in the Far East.\n\nIt is, however, when we consider the health of the Colony, on which our prosperity so vitally depends, that the debt of gratitude which we owe to your Excellency becomes most manifest.\n\nThe all-important question of the Colony's water-supply has occupied much of your attention, particularly the most necessary works which you have inaugurated at ...",

That the site now occupied by the Naval Infectious Diseases hospital does not comply, as shown in the Hon.

That some European houses are only about 77 yards, the Royal Naval General Hospital about 140 yards, and other houses and buildings, as well as a large Chinese population under ¼ of a mile's distance from the Infectious Diseases Hospital (vide the Hon. Doctor Atkinson's statement of case), and as the distances mentioned between the above places and the Naval Infectious Diseases Hospital are in my opinion too short to remove all risk of infection being conveyed to the above places if small-pox cases were treated in the Naval Infectious Diseases Hospital.\n\n(e). That one of the main roads for people passing from Victoria to the Happy Valley, and a road that is very much used, runs just underneath the hill on which the Naval Infectious Hospital is located.\n\n(f).

On Sunday 28th May Dr. Bell reported in writing that Dr. Laing had been drunk on three occasions that month. On Monday I saw Dr. Laing before Dr. Bell, when I told him the nature of the charges brought against him, saying that as the matter was a very serious one it would have to go before Your Excellency. Dr. Laing said he had been taking more than was good for him, and had been trying to pull himself together by taking bromide.\n\nAbout 14 days later when he heard that he would have to appear before the Council he said he had been suffering from a whitlow on the thumb and had been taking bromide mixture on that account. I did not discuss the matter any further. I may say I have never seen Dr. Laing intoxicated.\n\nHis Excellency: How often do you see him?\n\nHon. Dr. Clark: I have seen him practically every day since Dr. Atkinson went away in March. I see him at about noon every day and he is always sober about his work.

Captain Barnes Lawrence, who was laid in his final resting place in the Protestant Cemetery at Happy Valley yesterday. Long before the hour for the funeral, a large crowd of Europeans and Chinese had assembled in the vicinity of the Royal Naval Hospital, Wanchai, from which the funeral was to start; the boatmen from the Harbour Office being lined up on one side of the road holding the wreaths which came from the different departments in the Harbour Office.\n\nShortly after five o'clock, the coffin, a plain teak one, covered with the Union Jack, was carried down from the hospital to the road where a gun carriage was waiting, and it was placed thereon. When the cortege started, ahead of the coffin was a firing party from H.M.S. \"Flora,\" commanded by Captain Grant-Dalton, each man wearing a black band round his left arm and marching with arms reversed. Then came the band of the Second Royal West Kent Regiment, with the drum draped with crepe.\n\nOn either side of the coffin were the deceased gentleman's colleagues from the Legislative Council as follows:- Right, Sir Francis Piggott, Hon. Mr T. Sercombe Smith, Hon. Mr W. Chatham, Hon. Mr A. W. Brewin, Sir Paul Chater, and Hon. Mr Wei Yuk. Left, Sir Henry Berkeley, Hon. Dr Atkinson, Hon. Mr E. A. Hewett, Hon. Mr W. J. Greson, Hon. De V. Kow Kai, and Mr A. G. M. Flathe (Clerk of the Council).\n\nHis Excellency the Governor, Sir Matthew Nathan, walked behind the coffin as chief mourner, followed by his A.D.C. Then came a detachment of 100 men from the naval service, followed by the staff of the Harbour Office, who turned out in strong force, headed by the Assistant Harbour Master, Mr E. Jones. The boarding officers, European employees, Eurasians, Portuguese, and Chinese completed the Harbour Office detachment.\n\nThen came a number of Civil Service cadets, and a large number of friends of the late Harbour Master. Among those whom we noticed were the following:- Captain Lyons, Messrs E. H. Sharp, K.C., J. Dyer Ball, J. Hastings, F. B. L. Bowley, W. Daniels, H. P. White, L. Murphy, A. Saeth, P. N. H. Jones, H. H. J. Gompertz, F. J. Badeley, P. P. J. Wodehouse, A. R. Loze, G. de Champs, C. D. Melbourne, O. H. Wakeman, G. Bastings, G. C. Moxon, A. Wilson, T. F. Hough, J. J. Leiria, J. Wilkie, T. Skinner, E. A. Ram, L. A. M. Johnson, H. N. Mody, B. P. Tocker, P. Jack, H. Humphreys, E. Barton Foreman, and A. B. Mihara, Revs. J. B. France and Pearce, Capt. Pennefather, Captain Milroy, Major Pritchard, Dr Kruger, German Consul, M. Liebert, French Consul, Mr A. G. Romano, Consul for Portugal, and Mr S. Silverstone.\n\nTo the strains of Beethoven's funeral march, the cortege slowly wound its way to the cemetery, which was reached about 5:30 p.m. The coffin was carried to the grave by a party of bluejackets, and the mourners took up their positions around it.\n\nIt was impossible for all who were present to hear the words which fell from the Minister's lips as he read the burial service, but everybody seemed deeply impressed with the solemnity of the occasion. Bareheaded, they stood while the service proceeded, and at its conclusion, most of those present approached the grave and paid a last tribute of respect to their honoured friend. Three rounds from the firing party and the \"Last Post\" from the bugler completed the ceremony, and the Hon. Captain Barnes Lawrence was laid to rest amid a scene of beauty, close to a bubbling stream which tumbled noisily over the stones in its course.\n\nThere were a large number of wreaths sent by the following:-\n\nMiss Barnes-Lawrence, Miss V. Barnes-Lawrence, H.E. the Governor, the P. and O.S.S. Co., Pacific Mail Co., D. and O.S.S. Co., Toyo Kisen Kaisha, Portland Asiatic Co., Y.M.C.A., Officers 119th Infantry, Orderlies Harbour Department, Wardroom Officers of H.M.S. \"Tamar,\" Staff of the Harbour Department (a buoy and anchor), Chamber of Commerce, Mr and Mrs James Macdonald, Mr and Mrs Denison, Boatmen and Messengers of the Harbour Office, Mr D.

Atkinson also considered the charge as not proved.\n\nDr.\n\nCharge (c) is that Kelly received hams and beer from the Tiu Heung tea-house.\n\nChan Tat Hing is called and alleges that on one of the five occasions referred to, Kelly came to him and told him to buy a ham. He bought it, and a man called for it in the afternoon and took it away.\n\nOn the other four occasions, Chan Tat King was not present, but his accountant has told him that Mr. Kelly demanded a coolie ham or beer, which was obtained for him. A coolie came and fetched away the articles.\n\nKelly's answer to the whole of charge (c) is that the hams and beer were left with his boy, and he didn't know where they came from. This is not a probable story; the excuse is so bad that it is very likely true.\n\nA guilty man would have said \"I asked Chan Tat Hing to buy these things on my behalf because it would save me trouble\" and have been expecting him to send his bill in ever since. Kelly pleads that he couldn't return them as he didn't know where they came from: but he ought to have reported the matter to his superior officer. He did not do so, and is so far to blame.\n\nSo far as I can see, this is the extent of his proved criminality, and, of itself, it is certainly not enough to justify dismissal.\n\nAs to these four occasions, I submit that the evidence is worthless. Chan Tat Hing is repeating what his accountant told him and not speaking of his own knowledge. The accountant is not produced (possibly he is dead, as it appears from page 25 that some accountant is dead), and in his absence, it is difficult to attach any importance to the charges under this head, except as regards the first instance.\n\nTat Hing alleges that Kelly came to him and told him to buy a ham. Kelly denies it. Chan Tat Hing says that he was accompanied by an interpreter. Why is not the interpreter produced? In his absence, the case resolves itself into a matter of cross-swearing. I do not regard the charge as proved.\n\nCharge (d) is that he obtained his eggs at 10 cents a dozen, the market price being 15 or 16 cents.\n\nHis explanation is that when he asked for eggs, the shop keeper's assistant offered him eggs for nothing, clearly with a view to inducing the Inspector to look favourably on him in future. He refused and asked the lowest price: was asked 10 cents a dozen and agreed to pay this.\n\nThe assistant says that Kelly asked for eggs and offered 10 cents a dozen for them, and that he let him have them because he was an Inspector.\n\nEither story is likely enough, but if the shop assistant had offered the Inspector a veiled bribe, what is more likely than that he should...",

Moreover, it appears from page 32 that the market price at the time was not 15 or 16 cents but 11 or 12 cents. Apparently five dozen eggs changed hands. The market price was 55 or 60 cents, perhaps 2d. low in Hong Kong. No doubt the shopman was willing to let the Inspector have eggs at a dozen below the market price, in order to find favour with him: and no doubt the Inspector knew it but I submit that it is ridiculous to call this a bribe and that the charge is too absurd for solemn discussion in Executive Council.\n\nTsang Tim. Charge (e) is that Kelly demanded $40 from Tsang Tim, who doesn't understand English says that he was sent for by Kelly who told him through an interpreter that he must have $40 (later reduced to $25) if he expected certain work of his to be passed as satisfactory. He didn't pay and the work was not passed. The weak point of this case is that the man alleges that he refused to pay for some time but at last promised to do so. (page 37). The notice from the Sanitary Board that the work was not passed was received not, as might have been expected, after the refusal but after the promise to pay. The man has very vague ideas about the date and keeps no books. No corroborative evidence is called and Kelly denies the story altogether. The man, who had sublet the whitewashing contract to Tsang Tim, had not heard anything about this demand for payment which is rather odd considering the amount of gossip which has been reported with regard to most of these charges. Why was no step taken to find the interpreter through whom all the alleged negotiations were conducted? I should regard this case as not proven and Dr. Atkinson, Sir Paul Chater and the Acting Attorney General share my view.\n\nTo recapitulate, the only charge which I should hesitate to declare \"not proven\" is (c) or rather one-fifth part of (c), the receipt of a ham on April 16th 1905. It is a question of believing Mr. Kelly or the Chinese witness. I incline to believe Mr. Kelly. The only guilt which I conceive to attach to him is the neglect to report to the head of his Department that hams and beer were being thrust upon him. This neglect would to my mind be amply punished by a reprimand and a fine. I should hesitate to say that the Sanitary Inspector did not accept gratifications: (the universal opinion seems to be that all Inspectors and Policemen in Hong Kong do take bribes) but I contend that not one of these charges comes within a measurable distance of being proved.

        "content_text": "Hon. Col. Secy.,\n\nEnclosure 6.\n\n620\n\nIn a Colony whose superficial area is small this question presumably does not often arise. It is one with which I am familiar myself. On the one hand we expect and get from the British Medical Service a devotion to duty and a readiness to expose themselves to any amount of fatigue, discomfort and danger at the call of duty, to which I can myself bear most ample and striking testimony. On the other hand cases may occur where a man himself becomes unduly alarmed, or his friends do, and a Doctor is needlessly summoned. Such a case as the one before me, is not in my estimation a matter of a fee of a few dollars. It is whether or not Dr. Thomson fell short of the high standard and reputation we have learnt to expect from his profession. Was it his duty to have gone in the circumstances related, or if physically unable to go ought to have consulted Dr. Aubrey and if necessary have requested him to go. On such a question my proper adviser, and the man who would naturally have the good reputation of his profession most keenly at heart, is the P.C.M.O. and I refer the question to him for serious and thoughtful consideration.\n\nAs regards Dr. Thomson having had no food I concur with you that he should have provided himself. As regards his charge of \"grave discourtesy\" on the part of Mr. Eves I cannot agree with him. Mr. Eves viewing the matter as serious took the steps he did, without intending to interfere with Dr. Thomson's intention of going to Taipo next day.\n\nAs regards the payment of the fee, this matter may be left till I receive Dr. Atkinson's reply. (I infer from his minute of 23rd September, 1907, that Dr. Thomson's action did not commend itself to him.)\n\n24th September, 1907.\n\n(Sgd.) F.D.L.",

        "content_text": "# THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26TH, 1909.\n\n## SUPREME COURT, Thursday, February 25th.\n\n### IN APPELLATE JURISDICTION. BEFORE THE FULL COURT.\n\n#### THE PEAK MURDER APPEAL.\n\nJudgment on the appeal against the finding of the jury in the Peak murder case on the ground that the evidence had not been translated to the prisoners was delivered by the Full Court. Mr. R. G. Calthrop, instructed by Mr. R. D. Atkinson (of Messrs Deacon, Looker and Deacon) appeared for the prisoners, the Hon. Mr. W. Rees Davies, K.C., Attorney-General, instructed by Mr. F. B. L. Bowley, Crown Solicitor, appearing as respondent.\n\nThe Chief Justice said—As the procedure under section 78 of No. 9 of 1899, which provided what is the Court of Crown Cases Reserved for the Colony, does not require a case to be stated, it is necessary for me to state the circumstances in which the question which has been reserved for the opinion of the Court arose. Three men, Kwok Leung, Li Shek Shun, and Hung Loi, were charged with the murder of Ku Tang. They were Hoklo men. Some of the evidence for the Crown was given in English, and some in Punti. The prisoners were defended by Mr. Calthrop, and at the conclusion of the case for the prosecution, he called evidence, and he also put the three prisoners in the box. One of the English witnesses for the defence, Mr. Holworthy, had given evidence to the effect that the first prisoner, Kwok Leung, was his chair coolie. He said that when he arrived at the Peak on the day of the murder by the 12.15 or 12.30 tram, he found his chair waiting for him as he had ordered, and there were only three chair coolies, among them Kwok Leung. In cross-examination, he said that he asked why the four were not there, and that No. 1 prisoner had said there had been a fight, and that that was why the fourth coolie, No. 2 prisoner, was absent. When Kwok Leung was in the box, he gave evidence that there had been only three coolies at the tram station. In cross-examination, he said No. 2 prisoner was the missing coolie. He then said in answer to a question put by the Attorney-General that he did not tell his master, Mr. Holworthy, that there had been a fight. Other questions on this point were about to be put by the Attorney-General when it occurred to me that Mr. Holworthy's evidence had not been translated to the prisoners, and I intimated that in the circumstances, I did not think that the point ought to be pressed, to which the Attorney-General assented. The jury acquitted No. 1, but found the second and third prisoners guilty of manslaughter. Before sentence, Mr. Calthrop intimated that some of the evidence, either English or Punti, had not been translated to the prisoners, and moved that the question be reserved for the Full Court as a question of law, whether the conviction ought not to be quashed on the ground that the evidence ought to have been translated, and this is the point on which we are now called upon to give our decision.\n\nIt is advisable to deal at once with the question of materiality of the evidence actually admitted but untranslated. If No. 1 prisoner had been found guilty, undoubtedly the fact that he had told this untruth with regard to No. 2 prisoner would have influenced the jury, and I should have found it extremely difficult not to quash the conviction. We have not, however, to consider whether any part of the evidence which was untranslated was material, and so contributed to the conviction of the other prisoners. Mr. Calthrop had taken the broad ground that none of the evidence of the Crown was translated, and as they were convicted, some of it must have been material. He raises, therefore, the abstract question whether a conviction can stand when the prisoners have no knowledge of the evidence given against them. He called it \"inadmissible evidence,\" and strictly, this is the right term to use, though it is not its ordinary use. There is a recent case, R. v. Hadwin, where a conviction against several prisoners was quashed on the ground that the others were not allowed to cross-examine one of them who went into the box.\n\nEvidence given without cross-examination is strictly speaking inadmissible evidence, and scientifically, the term is rightly used. There are three, at least, a priori reasons in favour of Mr. Calthrop's contention. First, the prisoner is always entitled to make a statement, even when he is defended by Counsel; therefore, he must know what the evidence against him is. Secondly, now that the prisoner may give evidence, it is more than ever material that he should know the evidence against him in order that he may meet it, and, as we do not assume the prisoner guilty until he is so found, if he does not know it, the truth may be kept back. There may be some part of the evidence for the Crown which he could easily rebut had he known it. If he does not know it, he cannot do so. Thirdly, if he does not hear what the witnesses are saying, he cannot assist his counsel in cross-examining them. I confess that, without looking at the authorities, the question presents no difficulties where the prisoner is not defended by counsel, and the real difficulty arises from the fact that in this case they were defended. But the a priori arguments seem to me very strong, and the first applies whether there is counsel or not. The third is specially concerned with the fact that there is a counsel. The second may in some measure be answered by the fact that the depositions taken before the magistrate have already been translated to the prisoner, and therefore, he has notice of what is going to be said in the box at the trial. But this is not conclusive because it does not apply to new statements which may be made in cross-examination. Moreover, the depositions are not evidence at the trial until any part of them is specially made evidence, and therefore, I think that the a priori reasons in favour of quashing the conviction are very strong.\n\nHis Lordship, after quoting numerous authorities, proceeded—None of the cases cited, therefore, support the Attorney-General's contention that the translation of the evidence to a prisoner who does not understand it is a mere irregularity in proceedings. On the contrary, the authorities are all the other way, and looking at the reason of the thing, I have no hesitation in saying that it is not merely as grave an irregularity as could well be imagined, but that it is contrary to those fundamental and elemental principles of justice for which, to use a phrase of one of the old judges, rhetorical, yet pregnant with meaning, \"English administration of justice is so justly famous,\" and which has made it respected and trusted by the people. The only question which remains is whether the fact that the prisoners were represented by Counsel makes any difference, for I am clear that in a case where the prisoner was not represented by counsel, the conviction in such circumstances must be quashed. But this point is fully covered by the authorities cited by Mr. Calthrop. In R. v. Bertrand, the irregularity of reading the depositions taken at the first trial was acquiesced in by the prisoner's counsel, and not passively but actively, for he cross-examined witnesses on these depositions. The question resolved itself into whether any injustice to the prisoner resulted from it, and this is how this question was treated: \"It is a mistake, moreover, to consider the question only with reference to the prisoner. The object of a trial is the administration of justice in a course as free from doubt or chance of miscarriage as merely human administration of it can be—not the interests of either party.\" This remark very much lessens the importance of a prisoner's consent, even when he is advised by counsel, and substantially, not of course literally, affirms the wisdom of the common understanding in the profession that a prisoner can consent to nothing. In R. v. Moore, the prisoners were represented by counsel, and in the course of the argument, Hawkins, J. said, \"The fact that the prisoner's counsel has taken no objection does not make the evidence admissible.\" The only case on which the Attorney-General could rely on this point was a remark in R. v. Ysmade by Erle, J., which has some bearing on the relations between counsel and prisoner. The question was whether in a murder case in the year 1854, the Court could assign counsel to defend the prisoner. What the learned judge said was, \"I should be very glad if I could do so, but by allowing counsel to appear without any communication with the prisoner, and without his sanction, I might be authorising a defence which the prisoner did not desire.\"",

        "content_text": "## SANITARY INSTITUTE, HEALTH PRIZE PRESENTATION\n\nThe Hongkong Daily Press, on the 13 preceding days, reported that the number of deaths was 38, and out of that, just about one half had died of infectious diseases. That, gentlemen, is a standing reproach to this Colony, and I am convinced we shall never succeed in putting a stop to it until we get the co-operation of the Chinese, and get them to show us how we can stop this thing without wounding their prejudices and violating the sanctity of domestic life. That is why I say to you that I hope those who have gained all the represented technical knowledge which is borne in mind by these certificates will bear in mind that a very great deal can be done by tact, common sense, and a little give and take in their dealings with those on whom they have to impress the primary laws of sanitation.\n\nThe local branch has done good work in trying to get the community to understand the value of sanitation, and to try to get them to work with us, and not to work against us. Mr. Carter is still the life and soul of the branch; he has all along had the interests of the branch at heart and has done all in his power to foster it. Our thanks are due especially to him and also to our local Secretary, Mr. Ralphs.\n\nA new departure has recently been made whereby lectures on special subjects shall be delivered at the room of the Institute by competent lecturers. These are open to anyone to attend. The President of the Hongkong Branch, His Excellency the Governor, who was supported by Lady Lugard, presided at the distribution of prizes of the Hongkong Sanitary Institute held two days ago.\n\nHis Excellency, in addressing the gathering, said: \"Gentlemen,—As Chairman of the Examiners, I thought it would be of interest to review the work accomplished by the local branch of the Royal Sanitary Institute since its formation five years ago, especially in connection with this movement to present the certificates. There are twelve in all; seven were obtained at the January Examination last year and five at the October Examination. Since then, a regular course of six lectures has been delivered, the attendants numbered 3441, giving an average of Inspectors' lectures. In addition to the lectures, practical demonstrations have been given at the Nuisance Depot and Slaughter Houses by Mr. Gibson and at the Station by Drs. Clark and Pearse. Visits have also been paid to the New Kowloon Waterworks, Green Island Cement Works, Aberdeen Brick and Electric Power Station, Wanchai Dairy Farm, and to new buildings under construction, etc.\n\nLectures on various practical subjects have been given by Messrs. Joseph Albert Buller, Harry Counts, Thomas Hynes, Robert Gardiner McEwan, Charles Walter Thornton Brett (Sanitary Dept.), John Mackay, and Samuel Robert Boyd Willis (Police Force), George Sergeant Major Hutton, and Sergeants Walter Henry Jones and Harry Williams (R.A.M.C.).\n\nThe following candidates have passed the Sanitary Science Examination: Mr. Albert Victor Parker, Public Works Department.\n\nThe following have lectured on Food Inspection: Messrs. Williams & Shinkwio, Mr. Gibson, Veterinary Surgeon, and Dr. Clark, Darby, and Grey of the P.W.D.\n\nThe Council have arranged a Syllabus for those who intend to become Sanitary Officers. The practical examination is for those who wish to obtain from the Institute a certificate certifying their knowledge of Sanitary Science. The Local Government Board, London, accepts this certificate as evidence that the person possessing it is qualified for the office of Inspector of Nuisances by urban or rural district councils outside London; it is also recognized by the Local Government Boards in Edinburgh and Dublin.\n\nThe following officers of the Sanitary Department have passed the Examination for Inspector of Nuisances since the formation of the local branch: J. Reid, W. H. Jolley, G. W. Coysh, C. W. Ward, R. Loan, C. E. Frith, D. J. Mokerzie, D. J. Falloran, R. G. McEwen, H. Coombs, J. A. W. Brett, T. Hynes, J. Mackay (since transferred to P.W.D.), G. Willis (since transferred to Police Dept.); H. J. Gidley, S. Gilley (who have left the Colony).\n\nThe following officers of the Public Works Department have passed this Examination: Messrs. Longstaff and S. R. Boyd.\n\nThe following officers of the R.A.M.C. have also been successful: Sergeant Major Hutton, and Sergeants Williams and Jones.\n\nSeveral candidates from the Army are attending the present course of lectures.\n\nThe following candidates in private employment have passed the Examination: Messrs. H. Lett, Naval Yard Extension Works; G. Phew, Messrs. Butterfield and Swire; C. Langton, Naval Yard; J. B. Winter, Hongkong Gas Company.\n\nIn all, there have been 39 candidates, 26 of whom were successful, a percentage of 66.6 passes.\n\nAt the conclusion of the presentation, His Excellency said: \"Ladies and gentlemen, it is some years now since certificates won by students of the Hongkong Branch of the Royal Sanitary Institute have been distributed publicly. The last occasion was, I think, in 1904, and on that occasion, my predecessor made a long speech in which he told you generally of the objects of the institution and the work which had been done. It was instituted in 1903 on the suggestion of Mr. Carter, and it took shape owing to the energy and organizing ability of its President, Dr. Atkinson, and of various other members of the Body of Examiners, many of whom are still on the Board.\n\n\"I think, gentlemen, that the value of an institution like this, affiliated to a great institution in England, is immense. The certificates can be obtained here and are recognized throughout the British Empire, and they can be obtained without the expense of a voyage home to a higher standard than the Inspection in England. They can be obtained in their leisure hours of the evening by the men who are still doing their work and earning their salaries. These are very great advantages.\n\n\"The Hongkong Branch has led the way in adopting that great principle of affiliation with institutions in England, which I think is of immense advantage to the Colonies, and of which I should like myself to see the Colonies take much more advantage. It is the principle which underlies the Oxford Local Examinations which we have in our schools here; it is the principle upon which the Hongkong College of Medicine intends to frame its future; and it is, as Dr. Atkinson said, the principle which I hope will find still further expression in the Hongkong University of the future (applause).\n\n\"The Sanitary Department of the Government absorbs a great deal of the revenue of the Colony, and consequently has a very considerable staff, and there are architects, builders, and others in the Colony who also require certificated engineers, and the number of these appointments offers inducements to candidates to come and learn and obtain certificates at this branch of the Royal Sanitary Institution.\n\n\"I think, therefore, that the governing body of the Board of Examiners of the Hongkong Branch may feel that they are rendering a great public benefit to the Colony, and I think that our thanks are most heartily due to the body of gentlemen who give their time and thought gratuitously, without any remuneration, to conducting these lectures day by day on these difficult subjects (applause).\n\n\"When I look, as I did just now, at this syllabus of lectures, the different themes of the lecturers appear to me to be so practical and so sound that I honestly wish I had the time myself to be admitted and to come and learn some of these things and endeavour to obtain a certificate (applause).\n\n\"I will not speak to you, gentlemen, now, on the necessity of encouraging sanitation in Hongkong; I will not give you a discourse on the lessons to be learned from the great outbreak of plague or of the great value of having an object lesson here in Hongkong for China. All these are great subjects, but they have grown somewhat hackneyed, and you have heard them discussed by speakers who have more authority than I have.\n\n\"I will only refer briefly to the labours of the Sanitary Commission who have spent their private time and laid this Colony under a great debt of gratitude to them. You have heard, no doubt, a great deal of discussion on their report, and I can tell you you are likely to hear a good deal more within the next week or two.\n\n\"There is only one point which I will allude to before I sit down, and it is this: I will say to those gentlemen I have just had the honour and pleasure of presenting with these certificates, that in their greater wealth of sanitary knowledge, they should not lose sight of the saving grace of common sense (applause). I think that sensible toleration is the most valuable sense a man can have; our rules are good, but not always easy to realize. By the exercise of common sense, a little give and take, and tact, men may often achieve results that are more valuable than all the rules of the text books. You may obtain these results without wounding the prejudices of others. It is your business here to endeavour to impress upon the Chinese community the value of sanitation.\n\n\"The local branch is now established in a suitable room at 7, Beaconsfield Arcade, where members can study. It is here that the lectures are given, and we have the nucleus of a library there. Another important fact is that it is now self-supporting. Generally speaking, the work of the Institute has been well supported.\n\nA vote of thanks to His Excellency, proposed by Mr. Parkins, seconded by Mr. Owen, was carried in the usual way, ended the proceedings.",

She did not become a signatory to either the Venice (Plague) Convention or the Paris Convention, and although specially invited by the President to send a delegate to our Congress this year, she failed to do so.\n\nThe Chinese Imperial Maritime Customs has European medical men in its employ who advise the Commissioners on medical questions, but hitherto neighbouring countries have had to rely upon their respective Consuls for information concerning outbreaks of epidemic disease in China, and even then only the very vaguest estimates are obtainable as to the extent and duration of any such epidemic.\n\nIt seems to me that the Consul for Amoy has in his letter confused the rights of China with the commercial interests of shipping firms trading to and from a treaty port in China, and while it is no doubt most desirable that all reasonable facilities should be given to coolie emigration ships to carry their passengers from China to neighbouring countries, yet it is not likely that the onerous restrictions referred to will be removed at the Ports of neighbouring countries until China is in a position to guarantee a strict compliance with the usual quarantine procedure at the ports of departure.\n\nHon.

The Viceroy of Canton, Mr. Chao Ching Hus, Managing Director, Mr. J. W. Jamieson, Mr. Gompertz, Mr. Barnes, Mr. Chatham, D.

Many who are my guests this evening have enjoyed the privilege of attending the lunch which the Chinese Government gave at Samchun to-day in honour of the occasion, and you have heard many speeches, and drank to many toasts there, similar to that I am now proposing. I do not therefore intend to inflict a long speech upon you or to ask for a response, but I should greatly regret not to have an opportunity of myself wishing success to the railway, and of bearing testimony to the admirable work done by those who have been responsible for its construction and for all that has led up to the opening ceremony to-day.\n\nWe have here this evening many of those who have been engaged on the construction of each section, and you who have traversed the line from end to end can bear witness to the admirable way in which their task has been fulfilled, from the emplacement of the great girder spans across the river at Sheklung to the boring of the tunnel through the Kowloon hills. We have also present the gentlemen who have represented their respective Governments in the negotiations for Agreement for working the Railway - Mr. Chao, on behalf of the Chinese Government, and Messrs. Lindsey and Clementi on behalf of the Hongkong Government. I, who have been conversant with every single step in these negotiations, can testify as no-one else can to the ability with which both sides have presented their point of view, and the tolerance and courtesy with which they have debated the subject. The draft is now completed and awaits the concurrence of the Peking authorities which I trust may not be long delayed.\n\nThe spirit which has prompted both sides is that if the railway is to be a success it must be regarded as a business proposition in which both parties who have invested should obtain a fair return for their capital. This can only be achieved if it is recognised that we have a common interest in developing the line as a whole against outside competition. I offer on behalf of the Colony of Hongkong our hearty congratulations to Mr. Chao, the Director-General, and to Mr. Grove, the Managing Director, and to all the staff of the Chinese section on the completion of their great undertaking to-day, and I ask you to raise your glasses to the toast \"Success to the Kowloon-Canton Railway.\"\n\nMr. Li Chen, Mr. Chao, and Mr. Grove expressed their thanks.\n\n`CO 35489`\n`RECO`\n`REGE 3 NOV` \n284",

        "content_text": "# DEATH OF HON. MR. WARREN BARNES\n\nSeldom has Hongkong been so deeply stirred as it was on Saturday night when the news became known that the Hon. Mr. Warren Delabere Barnes, Colonial Secretary, had expired that evening with startling suddenness on the Polo Ground at Causeway Bay. Mr. Barnes had taken part in a practice match on the ground, and as the last chukka was finished he rode up with the other players in answer to the bell. Before he reached the pavilion he was seen to fall upon the neck of his pony.\n\nAs he did not rise, the others, who included Surgeon Hastings, R.N., rushed to his assistance and were horrified to discover that he was dead. The shock to all present was great, and a painful impression was created when the tragic occurrence was reported in the city. The body was removed to the Government Civil Hospital. Heart failure was the cause of death.\n\nA dance which was to have been given by Lady Lugard at Government House on Saturday night was at once abandoned.\n\nThough Mr. Barnes had only been in Hongkong some three or four months, he had made for himself many friends who, with the general public, will regret his sudden and untimely death. In the short time in which he had been here, he proved himself a very capable official, and acquired a knowledge of local affairs which was remarkable. This was recognised by His Excellency the Governor, who had contemplated a journey to India to be present at the Durbar, leaving Mr. Barnes to administer the Government during his absence. In the Legislative Council, the late Colonial Secretary showed a good grasp of most matters which came up for discussion, and won the good opinion of members by his readiness and lucidity in debate. Moreover, his courteous manner charmed all, and this aspect of his personality endeared him to all with whom he came in contact both officially and socially.\n\nMr. Barnes was educated at King's College School and Pembroke College, Cambridge. He went to the Straits Settlements as a cadet in November, 1888, passing his final examination in Chinese in 1891. Two years later, he became Third Magistrate at Penang, and afterwards became acting Protector of Chinese in Perak. His next position was to the post of warden of mines in Perak, to which he was appointed in 1896, and three years later, he was transferred to Pahang as warden of mines, Protector of Chinese, and senior magistrate. In December, 1901, he was promoted to Penang as assistant Protector of Chinese, and two years afterwards, he was acting Commissioner of Lands and Mines in the Federated Malay States, which was followed by his selection to act as British Resident at Pahang. He was chosen in 1904 to discharge the duties of acting Protector of Chinese for the Straits Settlements and Federated Malay States.\n\n## THE FUNERAL\n\nThe funeral took place yesterday, the cortege passing the monument shortly after 4:30 p.m. The large and representative attendance bore testimony to the esteem and respect in which the deceased gentleman was held. The cortege, as it wound its way to the cemetery, was headed by the K.O.Y.L.I. band playing funeral marches. On either side of the hearse, which was laden with wreaths, walked four members of the Hongkong police and members of the Executive and Legislative Councils. Then followed His Excellency the Governor and other members of Council, Mr. C.

D.**\n\nSir,\n\nIn answer to the charges preferred against me on the 8th instant, for absenting myself from duty without leave (or permission of the Principal Civil Medical Officer, meaning Dr. Atkinson per Clause No.8 of my standing orders) contrary to No.7 of the standing orders for the Sanitary watchman of the Hill District, I solemnly and sincerely beg to state as follows:-\n\nThat for the performance of my duties I was given a standing order by Dr. Clarke on the 30th July 1907, I think when the Central district sanitary office was in College Chambers in No.31 Wyndham Street, the conditions of which are as follows:-\n\n(1) The Sanitary watchman in the Hill district shall reside in the Hill district and shall make himself thoroughly acquainted with the provisions of the Sanitary Contracts for that district.\n\n(2) He shall keep a diary in which he shall enter a true record of each day's proceedings, and shall submit the same to the Medical Officer of Health, at such intervals as he may direct.\n\n(3) He shall see that the Sanitary Contractors for the Hill district strictly comply with the conditions of their contracts, reporting to the Senior Inspector any and every neglect coming under his observation.\n\n(4) He shall visit every road in the Hill district daily and shall see that the roads are properly swept and scavenged, that no refuse is deposited on the hillside or vacant lands, and that the night-soil coolies are carrying out their duties in a proper manner and within the prescribed hours.\n\n(5) He shall at the earliest opportunity, report to the Senior Inspector any neglect or breach of contract or illegal act on the part of the scavenging or of the night-soil coolies, and every defect in any of the public drains and gullies in the Hill district which may come under his observations.",

        "content_text": "ENCLOSURE 1.(CONTINUED)\n\n205\n\nThe present emoluments of the Medical Officer of Health comprise $4,200 with $300 as Supt. of Statistics and a house allowance of $720 a year, and I suggest that all allowances (except the usual conveyance allowance of $30 a month) be abolished and that Dr. Clark be accorded a maximum salary as Medical Officer of Health of $6,000 a year from the 1st of January 1913, in view of the fact that he has served for 11 years at his present maximum salary. Dr. Clark holds the subsidiary titles of \"Sanitary Superintendent\" and of \"Superintendent of Statistics\" representing additional duties which have been allotted to him from time to time, and he agrees with me that these subsidiary titles might well be abolished and both duties and emoluments merged in the sufficiently comprehensive title of Medical Officer of Health.\n\nThe emoluments of the Medical Officer of Health in this Colony compare unfavourably with those of the corresponding officers in the neighbouring cities (e.g. Shanghai and Singapore) and even with those of corresponding officers at home and I am certainly of the opinion that if Dr. Clark is not promoted to the office of Principal Civil Medical Officer on the retirement of Dr. Atkinson he should then be granted a personal allowance of £150 a year in addition to the small increase in salary indicated above, as he would have no further prospect of promotion in this Colony.\n\n(sgd.)

        "content_text": "93\n\nHONGKONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL\n\nThese works will result in a good broad road being in existence at the end of next year from Kowloon by Castle Peak and Fanling back to Kowloon, a distance of over sixty miles. It is expected that much development will take place in consequence both for residential and agricultural purposes. The road from San Tin to Lok Ma Chau Police Station will be useful for police administration, the present path being narrow and liable to flooding.\n\nUnder Drainage a sum of $20,000 has been provided for drains in connection with building operations, and a sum of $27,000 is entered for water mains at Shanshuipo.\n\nIn the Post Office under Other Charges the abolition of sea sorting on board P. & O. packets has reduced the share of the Mail Subsidy by £600; this is still further reduced by higher exchange and a saving of $10,640 is shown. It is estimated that higher exchange will also result in a saving of $25,000 in Transit Charges. There are increases in Coal and other items amounting to $3,050, but against these are set decreases of $500 and $1,400 in Stamps and Incidental Expenses, respectively. The vote for Stores, D'Aguilar Radio Telegraph Station, was over-estimated last year and has been reduced by $5,435.\n\nIn the Kowloon-Canton Railway, under General Charges, Personal Emoluments, it will be noticed that the post of Inspector of Station Accounts has been abolished. Under Maintenance of Way Works and Stations, Other Charges, there are increases of $350 for Fastenings, $225 for Points and Crossings, $150 for Roads and Crossings, and $2,400 for Sleepers, as it is anticipated that a large number of renewals will be required next year. Against these are set decreases of $700 in Ballast, $2,200 in Bridges and Tunnels which have undergone biennial repairs and renovation this year, $250 in Maintenance of Signals, $75 in Plantations, $650 in Repairs Staff Quarters and $1,050 in Repairs of Station Buildings, so that the total Other Charges has been reduced by a sum of $1,500. Under Locomotive, Carriages and Wagon Expenses, Personal Emoluments, there are several small additions to the staff, which are set out in Appendix III. Under Other Charges there is a large increase of $32,000 for Coal which has been reduced from 7,000 to 6,000 tons in quantity. There are, however, reductions in other votes which bring the net increase to a sum of $29,328.\n\nUnder Traffic Expenses, Personal Emoluments, the post of Head Guard has been abolished and a new post of Station Inspector has been created with a view to the better supervision of Chinese Station Masters. One 6th Grade Telephone Clerk has been added for night duty. \"Other Charges\" have been reduced by $4,801 in all, the Commission on the Transport of Goods amounting to $3,000 being deducted before estimating revenue.\n\nCoal for the Fanling Branch Line is estimated to cost $1,750 more and the votes for Fastenings and Sleepers have also been increased. Other items have been reduced so that the net increase is $1,895. I regret that this Branch Line shows no sign of being able to pay its way. The estimated revenue for 1918 is only $10,100 and the estimated cost is $13,898. It may be necessary to close the line unless its productiveness increases.\n\nUnder Special Expenditure a vote of $3,000 is inserted for a Motor Trolley for the better supervision of the track by the Engineer of Way Works and Stations. A re-vote of $60,000 is included for the platform awnings. The erection of these has been much delayed by the difficulty experienced in obtaining the necessary steel work from England. Votes amounting to $12,985 are included for other constructional works. The huts for pointsmen and gatemen are considered necessary, as these men have to be out at all times and in all weathers. The vote for New Fencing is required as the wooden fencing which has not been renewed since the commencement of the railway now requires renewal. It is considered necessary to provide quarters at Lo Wu for the staff at Sham Chun Station, as there is no living accommodation for them there and it is considered desirable that the staff should live in British territory. The pipe line at Taipo requires complete renewal, as it has been found to be much corroded and choked up. Improvements are required to the approach road to Yaumati necessitated by an increase in vehicular traffic at that station, while the vote for Roads and Crossings is required owing to the greater use that is now made of these crossings.\n\nUnder the heading Charge on account of the Public Debt a considerable saving is shown in the Interest on the Consolidated Inscribed Stock, the Crown Agents' Charges and in the Sinking Fund, amounting in all to $29,137, which is due to higher exchange. The vote of $10,000 for Service of the War Loan is not required.\n\nHONGKONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL\n\n94\n\na sum of over £13,000 and have expended locally for the working parties and in other ways a sum of $81,030.\n\nThe Jockey Club sent to St. Dunstan's Hospital a sum of £3,900 and £100 to the Blue Cross Society, while the St. Andrew's Society and the Masonic Bodies have also remitted large sums.\n\nThere is a decrease of $6,070 under Pensions, Civil Pensions being estimated to cost $7,370 less than in 1917. I have already addressed you regarding the death of Dr. Atkinson, and it is a matter for deep regret that he should have lived for so short a time to enjoy the pension that he had so well earned. The increase in the amount required under Widows' and Orphans' Pensions is due to the untimely death of several valuable officers.\n\nThe local branch of the Overseas Club subscribed a sum of £1,690 for the purchase of an aeroplane and for sundry charities. I desire to make special mention of the generous gifts of a battle-plane by Mr. A. R. Lowe, and an aeroplane by Mr. Ho Fook.\n\nA saving of $1,569 is shown under Charitable Services.\n\nThere is an estimated balance of Revenue over Expenditure of $2,623,115, which added to the estimated balance at the end of this year of $2,867,945 makes a total of $5,491,060. These figures are eminently satisfactory, and while repeating the warning that I gave last year as to the necessity for husbanding our resources, I will take an opportunity later on of consulting honourable members as to what further help the Colony can give to His Majesty's Government. In this connection I will bring up to date the statement of the financial and other aid given by the Colony to Imperial War Funds and to War Charities, which I made to the Council in March.\n\nThe amounts taken up through the British Banks in the Colony to the end of September are as follows: British War Loans and War Savings Certificates £1,145,000; Straits Settlements and Federated Malay States Loans $3,865,173 (Straits Currency).\n\nThe various parties of ladies working under the auspices of Queen Mary's Needlework Guild have since the beginning of the war made 211,274 bandages, 30,271 garments and 11,158 knitted articles, while the Union Church working party and other private working parties have all continued to supply many articles monthly.\n\nI should like to mention that from the 7th August correspondence from all regular troops stationed in Hongkong addressed to any place in Great Britain and Ireland, to any British Colony or Possession, and to all places in which British troops are engaged in military operations has been transmitted through the post free of charge. Up to the 30th September the following articles had been posted and forwarded by the Post Office: 20,606 letters, 374 postcards, 380 other articles.\n\nUp to the 30th September, 472 men had proceeded from the Colony on active service with His Majesty's Forces, of whom I regret to say 33 have been killed in action. The Military Service Commission which I appointed in the Spring did most useful work, resulting in the release of more than fifty men for service outside the Colony. The war still continues, and I trust that the Colony will continue to make every effort in supporting His Majesty's Government both in the supply of men and money until the objects for which the Empire and her gallant Allies are struggling have been attained.\n\nThe Hongkong and South China War Savings Association, which was established in January last, had received up to the end of September the large sum of $1,011,440 Straits Currency and the number of members of the Association was 787. The Colony is deeply indebted to the gentlemen who formed and have carried on this association at no expense to the members, and to the Union Insurance Society of Canton, who are the Honorary Secretaries and Treasurers. It has proved a great boon to the small investor, and we can only hope that the remaining sum which the Government of the Straits Settlements has reserved for the Association will all be taken up.\n\nIn my statement last March I gave a list of the amounts contributed to various funds in aid of the war and to charities in connection with the war up to the 31st December, 1916, the total being £64,192. Up to the end of September the War Charities Committee remitted a further sum of over £13,000...\n\nIt is proposed to take the second reading of the Supply Bill on Tuesday, the 23rd October, as it is essential that the estimates should be forwarded on the 25th October in order that, in accordance with the Colonial Regulations, they may be considered and approved, or otherwise, before the end of the year.\n\nThe Bill was then read a first time.\n\n75",

        "content_text": "93\n\nHONGKONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL\n\nThese works will result in a good broad road being in existence at the end of next year from Kowloon by Castle Peak and Fanling back to Kowloon, a distance of over sixty miles. It is expected that much development will take place in consequence both for residential and agricultural purposes. The road from San Tin to Lok Ma Chau Police Station will be useful for police administration, the present path being narrow and liable to flooding.\n\nUnder Drainage a sum of $20,000 has been provided for drains in connection with building operations, and a sum of $27,000 is entered for water mains at Shamshui Po.\n\nIn the Post Office under Other Charges the abolition of sea sorting on board P. & O. packets has reduced the share of the Mail Subsidy by £600; this is still further reduced by higher exchange and a saving of $10,640 is shown. It is estimated that higher exchange will also result in a saving of $25,000 in Transit Charges. There are increases in Coal and other items amounting to $3,000, but against these are set decreases of $500 and $1,400 in Stamps and Incidental Expenses, respectively. The vote for Stores, D'Aguilar Radio Telegraph Station, was over-estimated last year and has been reduced by $5,435.\n\nIn the Kowloon-Canton Railway, under General Charges, Personal Emoluments, it will be noticed that the post of Inspector of Station Accounts has been abolished.\n\nUnder Traffic Expenses, Personal Emoluments, the post of Head Guard has been abolished and a new post of Station Inspector has been created with a view to the better supervision of Chinese Station Masters. One 6th Grade Telephone Clerk has been added for night duty. \"Other Charges\" have been reduced by $4,801 in all, the Commission on the Transport of Goods amounting to $3,000 being deducted before estimating revenue.\n\nCoal for the Fanling Branch Line is estimated to cost $1,750 more and the votes for Fastenings and Sleepers have also been increased. Other items have been reduced so that the net increase is $1,895. I regret that this Branch Line shows no sign of being able to pay its way. The estimated revenue for 1918 is only $10,100 and the estimated cost is $13,898. It may be necessary to close the line unless its productiveness increases.\n\nUnder Special Expenditure a vote of $3,000 is inserted for a Motor Trolley for the better supervision of the track by the Engineer of Way Works and Stations. A re-vote of $80,000 is included for the platform awnings. The erection of these has been much delayed by the difficulty experienced in obtaining the necessary steel work from England. Votes amounting to $12,985 are included for other constructional works. The huts for pointsmen and gatemen are considered necessary, as these men have to be out at all times and in all weathers.\n\nUnder Maintenance of Way Works and Stations, Other Charges, a vote for New Fencing is required as the wooden fencing which has not been renewed since the commencement of the railway now requires renewal. It is considered necessary to provide quarters for the staff at Lo Wu Station, as there is no living accommodation for them there and it is considered desirable that the staff should live in British territory. The pipe line at Tai Po requires complete renewal, as it has been found to be much corroded and choked.\n\nThere are increases of $350 for Fastenings, $223 for Points and Crossings, $450 for Roads and Crossings, and $2,400 for Sleepers, as it is anticipated that a large number of renewals will be required next year. Against these are set decreases of $700 in Ballast, $2,200 in Bridges and Tunnels which have undergone biennial repairs and renovation this year, $250 in Maintenance of Signals, $75 in Plantations, $650 in Repairs of Staff Quarters, and $1,050 in Repairs of Station Buildings, so that the total Other Charges has been reduced by a sum of $1,500.\n\nUnder Locomotive, Carriages and Wagon Expenses, Personal Emoluments, there are several small additions to the staff which are set out in Appendix III. Under Other Charges there is a large increase of $32,000 for Coal which has been reduced from 7,000 to 6,000 tons in quantity. There are, however, reductions in other votes which bring the net increase to a sum of $29,329.\n\nImprovements are required to the approach road to Yaumati necessitated by an increase in vehicular traffic at that station, while the vote for Roads and Crossings is required owing to the greater use that is now made of these crossings.\n\nUnder the heading Charge on account of the Public Debt a considerable saving is shown in the Interest on the Consolidated Inscribed Stock, the Crown Agents' Charges and in the Sinking Fund, amounting in all to $29,137, which is due to higher exchange. The vote of $10,000 for Service of the War Loan is not required.\n\n114.\n\nThe Jockey Club sent to St. Dunstan's Hospital a sum of £3,900 and £100 to the Blue Cross Society, while the St. Andrew's Society and the Masonic Bodies have also remitted large sums.\n\nHONGKONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL\n\nThere is a decrease of $6,070 under Pensions, Civil Pensions being estimated to cost $7,370 less than in 1917.

        "content_text": "## \n\nThere was great opposition from the unofficial members of Council to powers being given to a Sanitary Commissioner instead of to the Sanitary Board and during the passage of the bill considerable changes were made in it. In its final form there was no mention of a Sanitary Commissioner—and the Governor was given power to appoint both the Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the Sanitary Board.\n\nIn 1903 the Governor was of opinion that the interests of the Colony would be best served by bringing the Medical and Sanitary Services under the direct administration of the P.C.M.O. and the Secretary of State having given his sanction Ordinance No. 23 of 1903 was passed making the P.C.M.O. ex-officio President of the Sanitary Board and Head of the Sanitary Department. The P.C.M.O. at that period had, in addition to administrative duties, clinical ones which occupied much of his time.\n\nIn 1906 there was considerable criticism by the Press and by the unofficial members of the Sanitary Board regarding the way the Public Health and Buildings Ordinance was being administered. There were complaints of inconsiderate action by officers both of the Public Works Department and of the Sanitary Department and there were hints of squeeze. In order to obtain full information on the subject, the Governor appointed a Commission of enquiry consisting entirely of the Unofficial members of the Board, none of whom had any medical training.\n\nThe terms of reference were to enquire into and report on the following matters:\n\n| Number | Terms |\n|--------|-------|\n| (1)    | Whether the administration of the Sanitary and Buildings Regulations enacted in the Public Health and Buildings Ordinance 1903 as now carried out is satisfactory, and if not, what improvements can be made. |\n| (2)    | Whether any irregularity or corruption exists or has existed among the officials charged with the administration of the aforesaid regulations. |\n\nIn a minute to the Government dated November 1st, the P.C.M.O., Dr. Atkinson, said:\n\n\"I have read carefully through these papers and I wish to draw attention to the fact that as far back as August 1901 I recommended to Government that the Sanitary Board should be made a Government Department. My views now are that whatever the report of this Commission may be, that one of two steps must be taken—\n\n(1) Either that the Sanitary Department be handed over to a Municipality to administer—or\n(2) The Sanitary Board be abolished and the Sanitary Department throughout be a Government Department.\n\nI am convinced more and more every day that the present divided authority is unsatisfactory.\n\nThe recommendations of this lay Commission were:\n\n| Number | Recommendations |\n|--------|------------------|\n| (1)    | That the administration of the Public Health and Buildings Ordinance be entirely separated from the P.W.D. and entirely transferred to a Sanitary Board and Buildings Department which should be divided into four sections with four co-equal heads—namely: A. A secretariat to control the entire correspondence with a Cadet as secretary; B. A Medical Department having at its head the M.O.H; C. An Engineering Section with an Executive Engineer at its head; D. A Veterinary Department under the Colonial Veterinary Surgeon. |\n| (2)    | The whole Department shall be controlled by a Board consisting of four official and six unofficial members who shall have the complete ordering of the Department, recommend to the Governor all changes and promotion of staff, and be accountable for the expenditure of funds voted by the Legislative Council. |\n| (3)    | The President to be elected annually by the Board. |\n| (4)    | The four heads of Department to attend the meetings of the Board but to have no vote. |\n\nThe Commission stated that \"the P.C.M.O. as administrative officer of the Medical Department and resident surgeon of the Chief Hospital for Women and Children containing 40 beds had too much to do\" and that it was demanding more than the powers of any one man to carry out these multifarious duties satisfactorily and at the same time as administrative head give that constant and close supervision to the Sanitary Department which its proper working demands\".\n\nThe Commissioners were evidently of opinion that sanitation as practised by the Board was not of a medical nature, for they recommended that \"In view of the nature of the work to be done, the post of President should not under any conditions be held by a Medical Man\".\n\nThe Commissioners did not explain how the Chairman, whom they proposed to elect annually from among their members, every one of whom had his own business to attend to, would any more than the P.C.M.O. be able to carry on his ordinary duties \"and at the same time as administrative head give that constant and close supervision to the Sanitary Department which its proper working demands\".\n\nIn 1908, a bill amending the Public Health and Buildings Ordinance was passed. Among other things, it provided that \"The Sanitary Board shall consist of the Head of the Sanitary Department who shall be ex-officio President of the Sanitary Board, the Director of Public Works, the Secretary for Chinese Affairs, the Medical Officer of Health, and not more than six additional members who shall hold office for three years\".\n\nA Cadet Officer was appointed Head of the Sanitary Department, and the Principal Civil Medical Officer, who for twenty-two years out of the twenty-five years of its existence had been Chairman of the Board and Head of the Sanitary Department, ceased to have any connection with sanitation and preventive medicine in the Colony. Thus, curative medicine was divorced from preventive medicine in Hong Kong, and the latter placed under lay control.\n\nOn 9.9.1924, after sixteen years' trial of a system of sanitation with a layman as health administrator, the Sanitary Board passed a resolution asking Government to constitute the Sanitary Board a General Board of Health, giving it power to deal with all measures connected with the Public Health and the prevention of disease, and appointing as its head a Commissioner of Public Health who should be a medical man possessing a Diploma in Public Health. The resolution ended by stating that \"it is out of the question for the P.C.M.O. to assume full charge as it is\".\n\nThe resolution was duly forwarded to Government, and in a communication dated 11.9.24, the Secretary to the Sanitary Board received the following reply from the Colonial Secretary:\n\n**COLONIAL SECRETARIAT**\n11.9.24.\n\n\"The Government will be glad to give careful consideration to any detailed suggestion put forward by the Board for the enlargement of its scope along lines indicated in the Public Health and Buildings Ordinance No. 1 of 1903. I am, however, to make it clear that the Sanitary Board is not, in the opinion of Government, responsible for the public health of the Colony, the officer so responsible being the Principal Civil Medical Officer.\n\n## \n37",

Berry, whose untiring efforts year by year make the Fair a success, and to the Fair Sub-Committee for their whole-hearted co-operation during the months of preparation.\n\nSpecial thanks are also due to the stallholders; to all who contributed to the entertainments; to those who assisted so essentially with the Information Bureau; to our caterers and their assistants; to our doorkeepers Miss Cornwell, Mr. Clifford Jones, and Mr. Thompson; to Mrs. Scott for so kindly undertaking the cloakroom; to Miss Auld for general help; to our kind purchasers, and to all who helped in any way to make the Fair a success.\n\nHow to Reach the Fair\n\nDear Fellow Members,-Very many thanks to those members who have so kindly sent contributions towards the Fair expenses and to all our kind buyers.\n\nMany members were for one reason or another prevented from reaching the Caxton Hall last Thursday and Friday, but I shall be most grateful to any who will join with us in this fund-raising fixture by sending me a small sum, to include their return fare to Westminster, their tea and supper, and perhaps a part of the useful articles they would have purchased there.\n\nIn hopeful anticipation,\n\nE. KNIGHT,\n\nHon. Treasurer.\n\n144, High Holborn, W.C.1.\n\nMARRIED WOMEN'S EMPLOYMENT\n\nThe 'North Mail' reports that the question of married women teachers who hold positions in Wallsend while a number of single women were unable to find appointments was raised last week at the meeting of Wallsend Education Committee.\n\nCouncillor A. McFarlane referred to a list of names of young women who had come out of college and said there did not seem much possibility of their getting posts. He thought they might replace some of the married teachers. 'Some of the married teachers have husbands who hold good positions,' he said, 'and I do not think it is fair to girls who have come out of college and have been on the list for some time.'\n\nThe Chairman, Councillor John Mason, suggested the matter might be referred to the staffing sub-committee. There were great complications involved, and they must give careful thought before deciding upon anything.\n\nCouncillor McFarlane said he was agreeable to this course, which was adopted.\n\nWe ourselves would like to think and say if a body of women systematically applied this kind of means test to all men's employment.\n\nIt is reported that the question of the employment of married women on the staff of the B.B.C. has recently been raised again to the consternation, so it is said, of the hundreds of secretaries and stenographers at Broadcasting House.\n\nMarried women have always been employed by the Corporation and its predecessor, the old Broadcasting Company, and many of them have married during their service. It is absurd that this question should be settled on any other ground than that of efficiency.\n\nFRIDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1932\n\nTHE VOTE\n\nBRANCH NOTES\n\nWomen's Freedom League\n\nBARNSBURY AND DISTRICT\n\nOffices: 144, HIGH HOLBORN, W.C.1.

        "content_text": "If the evidence is admissible, as I submit, there is overwhelming evidence that the Prisoner procured the murder of Fung.\n\nIn R. v. Ball (1911) A. C. 47, Lord Atkinson says that enmity is evidence of the fact that \"he killed him\". It has never been argued otherwise till this case.\n\nPotter said he could not believe that Lord Atkinson meant that, Potter said that he would be surprised if that passage would be found in any text book. I found it in the first text book at which I looked. Lord Atkinson's proposition repeats the wording in R. v. Thompson (1915) A.C. 221, at pp.226/7. In that case Lord Dunedin said (p.226) that \"the law of evidence in criminal cases is a set of practical rules ... without causing undue prejudice....\"\n\nR. v. Bucklem (1873) 13 Cox 293.\n\nR. v. Hagen (1873) 12 Cox 357.\n\nR. v. Harris (1864) 4 F. & F. at 343.\n\nR. v. Lovegrove (1920) 3 K.B. 643.\n\nPotter's propositions amount to this:- \"A\" says to \"C\", I have hired \"D\" to murder \"B\", but if he does not, will you do it for $10,000. \"D\" does murder \"B\". The question is whether \"A\" procured \"D\". \"A\"'s statement to \"C\" is inadmissible.\n\nThere is no authority for that.\n\nAssume, by way of illustration, that Prisoner was joking when he asked Christie to kill Fung, and that he really wanted to fire a blank round and frighten Fung, but that a live round was fired by mistake and Fung was killed. In that case Prisoner would have a very good defence: he had no guilty mind. If Potter is right, then if the true defence of mistake and accident is raised, the evidence of a previous attempt to incite Zimmern and Christie becomes admissible to rebut that defence.\n\nPage 20\n\nPage 21",

        "content_text": "## Mr. Grossmith \n\nI hesitate to comment on such an admirable report, especially as I have no personal knowledge of Hong Kong, but I put forward the following points, for what they are worth.\n\n### Section 3\n\nparas. 20, 21, and 25. This extraordinary high density of population is a salient feature of the Colony. I agree wholeheartedly with Sir Patrick that the standard maximum density should be studied further and the high figure tried out in properly designed building before general adoption. I therefore support this proposal for research into this aspect of housing and for a model study of a neighbourhood unit. Such a study seems to me almost to come within the category of D. and W. It would, of course, include a study of the small shop and domestic workshop problem (section 4) and would make use, as far as local conditions permit, of the Ministry of Town and Country Planning's \"Redevelopment of Central Areas\" manual (to which Sir Patrick refers).\n\n### Part III. Realisation\n\nAgain, without any local knowledge, I would suggest that the special committee Sir Patrick mentions as advisory in town planning should be thought of as a Central Housing and Planning Authority rather on the lines now adopted in the West Indies at the instigation of Sir Frank Stockdale and Gardner-Medwin. The makeup and working of this Authority are discussed at some length in the \"Housing in West Indies\" bulletin (`C.D.W. No. 13`). In many ways, it does very much what Sir Patrick suggests for this committee, but its ideal makeup is more clearly defined, and I personally believe it is the right organisational approach to this problem and should, with modifications to suit local conditions, be favoured for colonial housing and town planning general.\n\nPerhaps it might be of value to obtain Professor Holford's views on this point, and if you think it worthwhile, bring our comments to Sir Patrick's notice.\n\nI had better discuss this further with you on the 'phone. Incidentally, I think a copy of this report should be available at B.R.S. if possible.\n\n(sgd) A. Atkinson.\n\n22/1",

HALL\n\nIt is very encouraging to read that Hong Kong is acting so quickly. The other day I met Mr. J. M. Richards, Editor of \"The Architects' Journal\" and Architectural Correspondent to \"The Times\", who has recently returned from a short visit to Hong Kong. He spoke highly of the P.W.D's. architectural work and of W. W. C. Shewan, the Chief Architect.\n\nI have some comments to make on the design and construction of the flats, but think these might best be made in a personal letter to Shewan. I would like to see the papers again later. I note and accept the comments made in paragraph 10 of 1 on the undesirability of communal kitchens, etc.\n\nTo do so, I see no objection to the interim proposals for construction and administration of the housing. It looks as if a principal problem for housing in Hong Kong, at least on the island, is the acquisition and development of sites. There is something to be said for keeping these separate financially from house building. For example, it may be desirable, and more economical, to develop a larger area than is needed immediately, and even to lease part of that area for private development such as shops or lower middle-class housing. The difficulty of obtaining suitable sites underlines the need to consider town planning side by side with housing. Too often elsewhere I have seen sites which are least level and most expensive to develop left for low-cost housing. If the cost of site development is to be the subject of a C.D. and W. grant, it is very necessary to ensure that it is carried out economically. I have every confidence that the present P.W.D. will do this.\n\nG. Anthony Atkinson\n\nG. ANTHONY ATKINSON\nColonial Liaison Officer\n24.4.51\n\nMr Annitage.

HONG KONG\n\nBuilding of flats for rent to poorly paid workers - pilot scheme Grant of £13,500\n\nA large proportion of the population of the Colony lives in conditions of appalling overcrowding and squalor. These conditions are to a large extent caused by the influx of refugees from China.\n\nIn the course of discussions with the Secretary of State in the United Kingdom last summer in 1950, the Governor of Hong Kong made clear that since he considered the provision of adequate housing, particularly for the lower paid sections of the community, one of the most important development needs of the Colony, he intended to devote a large part of Hong Kong's Colonial Development and Welfare allocation of £1,000,000 to this aspect of development work. He anticipated that about £600,000 would be so spent. In his despatch No. 352 of 28th December, 1950, in which he discussed in some detail Hong Kong's housing problem and the possible lines of a solution, the Secretary of State welcomed the Governor's decision to use a large part of the available Colonial Development and Welfare assistance on housing development and undertook to consider sympathetically any schemes",
