The suspicious circumstances attendant on registry of a memorial of this deed have already been detailed in my last letter to your Lordship, it being then that Wei-Afoon openly stated to me that Major Caine's Comprador had been in the habit of taking monies from the Market in his Master's name; From enquiries since made there does not appear to be the shadow of a doubt but that this deed of assignment was an absolute forgery; it was drawn out in blank in the office of Mr. Parker, Solicitor of this place, and taken to Canton by some of Fong-Ache's agents, where before Mr. Thomas T. Meadows, Interpreter to the British Consulate, the signature of a Man personating Wei-Acqui was feloniously attached, and the document was brought back to Hongkong, without even the date of execution being inserted, or the necessary notarial attestation of the subscribing witness appended; The date of 30th November 1846 Mr. Parker admits was inserted at his office after being brought back. Two days later than this date, to wit on the 2nd day of December 1846, Wei-Acqui died at Honam on the opposite side of the river from the Canton Consulate, and where for six weeks previously he had resided without stirring out of doors, in such a state of weakness and imbecility, as by the testimony of several respectable Chinese who were constantly about his person, it was impossible he could have comprehended the nature of such a document, if any one had endeavoured to explain it to him.\n\nI am the more particular in drawing your Lordship's attention to the forgery thus effected, because you will be better able to judge of the motives influencing the delinquent Fong-Ache alias Attai, when inciting Wei-Afoon to go with him and Chowh-Aoan, to the house of the Honourable Major Caine (as stated by him at the Magistrates Court when I was committed) the effect of that visit having been to throw discredit on Wei-Afoon's previous assertions and suspicion upon me.\n\nMy Solicitor Mr. Coley has informed me that at the time of this forged deed being brought forward, Wei-Afoon petitioned Mr. Shelley (late Auditor General and Clerk of Councils) to advise him what course to pursue in order to defeat Fong-Ache's wicked designs, and that Mr. Shelley thereupon engaged Mr. Coley on the part of Wei-Afoon to watch Fong-Ache's proceedings, who afterwards finding himself barred from the anticipated easy possession, was glad to compound his claim on the estate and effect a re-assignment.\n\nThe following advice was counselled on a statement of the case submitted to the gentleman, who in the capacity of H. M's Acting Attorney General, afterwards received this man's depositions \"There are very good grounds to doubt that the last assignment (of 30th November 1846 to Fong-Ache alias Attai) was executed by the deceased, the consideration is insufficient, and the signature differs from his signature on other documents now in being, but I cannot advise the said Afoon or Chun-tae-sing to commence any proceedings either at law or in equity; All they have to do is to take out administration and carry on the business, pay the mortgage to Wing-kee and get him to release the estate to them as representatives of Wei-Acqui, treating Attai's assignment as if it never existed, leaving him to institute proceedings if he thinks fit; It is always better to defend in cases of this nature than to prosecute.\"\n\n19th January, 1847.\n\nSigned.\n\nCHARLES MOLLOY CAMPBELL, Attorney General.\n\nSo many, and so various have been the mal-practices exercised in relation to this Market (ascribable doubtless to the impunity with which the name of a member of the Executive Government has been mixed up with some of them, and which the prosecution brought against me for simply noticing has in no way tended to remove the impression of, from the minds of the Chinese residents that a detail of all that has come to my knowledge would extend to a much greater length than your Lordship could spare time for perusal, and believing that sufficient has been already related to effect my object of proving that a necessity existed for me to take the course which I have effectually pursued, I will not intrude on your Lordship's patience further, than to inform you of the progress of the charges brought against me subsequent to my letter of August, wherein it was stated that I stood indicted and held to bail on the anomalous charge of conspiring with myself to injure the character and reputation of the Honourable Major Caine.\n\nAt the sessions of October following, Wei-Afoon who had previously been examined as a witness on the part of the prosecution, was named as the joint Conspirator, and the trial was moved by the Attorney General for postponement, because the Honourable Major Caine's Comprador was not in the Colony, but as he had not been examined at the Magistrate's Court when I was committed, although then within the Magistracy jurisdiction, and as it was not shown to the Court that any attempts had been made to procure his presence, the trial would have proceeded but that His Honor the Chief Justice deemed it advisable not to throw any obstacle in the way of clearing up the mysterious cause of my arraignment, by forcing the case to a trial, which would but have been a cause for its immediate (and for my character unsatisfactory) abandonment.\n\nAt the ensuing sessions of December the Criminal Crown Prosecutor Mr. N. d'E. Parker stated in the Court that he had no charge against me, and the case was thereupon proclaimed discharged. The late Governor was under the impression that my case was necessarily relinquished (as stated in the Colonial Secretary's Letter of 3rd January last, copy enclosed) because it was impossible for the Acting Chief Justice to preside as Judge at a trial in which he had previously in his capacity of Her Majesty's Acting Attorney General expressed a legal opinion upon, and taken the evidence, but as verbally explained by me to Sir John Davis this impression was erroneous, because Mr. Campbell at the same Sessions presided as Judge on various other trials in which he had previously acted as Prosecutor on the part of the Crown, and at the Nisi Prius Sittings immediately preceding, had adjudged on two distinct cases in which nearly up to the time of going to trial he had been retained for the defence, and from one suitor had received a large retaining fee.\n\nAt these sessions however the Honourable Major Caine's Comprador was still absent from the Colony, and now with a knowledge of his actual delinquency it appears unreasonable to expect that his presence would ever be obtained, unless an application were made to the Chinese Government enforcing his return.\n\nThe only evidence remaining against me therefore was that of the man Chowh Aoun, and I beg leave to inform your Lordship that had my trial come on at the first session, I should have been prepared with the evidence of Mr. Parker (afterwards Criminal Crown Prosecutor) to the effect, that as he was in the room at Mr. Campbell's during the whole of the examination on the 6th of July, he was aware that when Chowh Aoan gave his evidence I was not at the place of examination, and that up to the time of my interview with Chowh-Aoun in the evening (whilst the examination was still going on) I had had no opportunity of learning what was the nature of his deposition, or even if he had been examined at all, consequently therefore, I could not have said to him \"Aoan! what for you no have talkee so fashion after Mr. Campbell, so can spoil-em Major Caine?\" words to which the Honourable Major Caine ...\n\nPage 118\n\n2\n\nB\n\nC\n\nD", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-072 - Indviduals - 1858.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 249101, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-077 - Sir Robinson - 1860 [1-6]", "page_number": 291, "title": "CO129-077 - Sir Robinson - 1860 [1-6]", "content_text": "281\n\nNames Ships\n\nto\n\nof Names of admitted therhand Ni Amound Total\n\nPrisoners Sentence to\n\nGart\n\nof from days.\n\nCrave @ 100\n\nBrought forward\n\nChesapeake I.

I need hardly say that no one in this Colony is better qualified than Dr. EITEL to test the proficiency of scholars. It affords me peculiar gratification to be present here to-day to take part with all of you in seeing the result of the instruction given by the Christian Brothers. As his Lordship has said, it is the first time that this school has come under our Government grant-in-aid system although that system was established in 1873. The difficulties to which his Lordship referred have been happily surmounted, and Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH, in the decision he gave, has caused universal satisfaction throughout the Colony to the School managers and the parents of the pupils.\n\nIt is true his predecessor, Lord CARNARVON, addressed to me a despatch desiring me to ask the Bishop how it came to pass that in this Colony the Roman Catholic schools were not accepting any aid from the Government. Accordingly, a letter was addressed to the Bishop conveying the instructions I had received from Lord CARNARVON. The Bishop, in answering, went minutely into the objections that he and other managers of schools took to the grant-in-aid scheme, for it did so happen that he did not stand alone in the objections that he raised to it. At the very same time that his Lordship objected to the scheme as it then stood, the head of the Berlin Mission, Pastor KLITZKE, his successor during his absence, Pastor Louis, and our late Colonial Chaplain, Mr. Kron, also came to me and stated their objections to the scheme. Those objections were reduced to writing and duly transmitted by me to Her Majesty's Government. They turned mainly on one point, that the scheme insisted that certain books to be used in the schools should be secular books and that four hours a day should be given to purely secular instruction. They said, \"Let us teach our schools as we ourselves and the parents of the children think best, teaching according to the standards fixed upon by the Government; let the Government select the subjects, let Government select its own Inspectors and Examiners and give the grant-in-aid according to the result of their inspection and examination, but do not tie us down to any specified class of books or four hours of secular teaching.\" Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH considered these objections, and of the ten points raised by the Bishop, he instructed me to grant seven, the other three being points of a different character, one of them relating to the two hundred attendances. I shall convey to the Secretary of State the cordial acknowledgments which the Bishop has made publicly to-day to Her Majesty's Government for what Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH has done. I shall also not fail to consider most carefully the Bishop's observations with respect to the two hundred attendances. It is a fact that at Singapore there is a different rule, and indeed the rule in England also on that subject is different. It is also, perhaps, a reasonable statement to make that whilst it may be perfectly fair to expect two hundred attendances from a Chinese boy, to expect the same from a European boy in this climate may not be equally fair. However, I shall consider that question.\n\nThe school we are now assembled in is therefore enjoying a grant-in-aid, and the question arises, what does the Government get from this school, what advantage will Her Majesty's Government derive from the grant-in-aid given in this and similar institutions? I admit at once it is the duty of the State to assist education, but I think it is especially our duty in this Colony to assist in giving a sound English education. It was therefore satisfactory to see that the young gentleman who read out the list of prizes so clearly got a first prize. His correct enunciation showed how well he deserves it. Dr. EITEL has reported that as far as English speaking goes, of all the schools he has been examining he regards this as the best; in arithmetic, he reports highly of his examination, and also in the art of handwriting. In other words, the English speaking, the writing, and the arithmetic in this school show a sound basis for our mercantile requirements. The Inspector has also reported that the results of the teaching in Algebra and Geometry are excellent. But there is one defect to which I venture, as I have received a report on the subject officially, to call the attention of the teachers, and that is in English Composition. Now, it arises, I believe, not so much from the fault of the teachers as from the fact that the pupils are mostly young gentlemen of the Portuguese race. I observe my friend Mr. LOUREIRO, the Portuguese Consul, here. He sees a majority of apparently Portuguese youth in this school; but I claim them from him as British subjects, because, although they are of the Portuguese race, they have been born in the Colony and therefore it is only their fathers or grandfathers he has charge of; I have official charge of these young gentlemen.\n\nIn the address which my young friend ALMADA read, I have been invited to give the scholars advice. Acting on that invitation, I therefore recommend that they should endeavour of all things to improve their English Composition. We all know what admirable clerks the young Portuguese make, we know how accurately they keep their accounts, how clear is their handwriting; and we know their other good points—fidelity, punctuality, and the courtesy that arises from a natural disposition to please—but they are defective in English Composition, and it is a most important thing in this Colony that they should pay attention to it, and that in this respect they should show they are equal to any other youths in Hongkong. I would therefore advise them to establish some organisation or society among themselves where they might read little essays in English and discuss them, and also to endeavour to form a library of English authors, not so much of instructive as of entertaining books; by reading these books and writing essays they might gain the skill they require in English Composition. I am sure in giving that advice, from what I have seen of the prizes to-day, I am only doing what the donors of the prizes would like. I find among the prizes some contributed by Dr. STEWART, the Head Master of the Central School, and all the prizes he has given are prizes pointing in that direction, to the teaching and studying of English.\n\nOwing to the munificence of my generous friend, Mr. BELILIOS, there is established in this Colony now a series of scholarships. The Honourable Mr. RYRIE, Dr. EITEL, and the Governor of the Colony are the trustees of the `BELILIOS Scholarships`. Some of these will be devoted to giving medical instruction to Chinese, which I hope to see accomplished by means of the native physicians at the Tung Wah Hospital in combination with a teacher of western medical science. Some of the scholarships go to the Central School; and some to this school. I advise the pupils who may compete for the `BELILIOS scholarships` to endeavour to work beyond the sixth standard, to remain a little longer at school, and to give their attention in the direction I have been pointing, namely, to English composition and English literature.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-187 - Governor Hennessy - 1880 [1-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 319292, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-204 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1882 [11-12]", "page_number": 296, "title": "CO129-204 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1882 [11-12]", "content_text": "## Appendix A in Captain Superintendent of Police's Report of 15th October, 1880.\n\n| Names | Where Situated |\n| --- | --- |\n| Juop?

Given the rules, I will focus on correcting spacing issues, rejoining broken content where logical, and formatting the output in Markdown.\n\n### Initial Observation\nThe input contains a mix of numbers, names, and what appears to be financial or statistical data. There are no clear headers or sections, making it challenging to determine the exact nature of the document.\n\n### Step-by-Step Processing\n\n1. **Identify Potential Table Structure**: The presence of repeated numbers followed by names and then more numbers suggests a table structure. Let's attempt to reconstruct this.\n\n2. **Correct Spacing and Join Broken Lines**: Many lines appear to be fragments or are not properly spaced. I will correct spacing and attempt to join lines that seem to be parts of a larger entry.\n\n3. **Format in Markdown**: I will use Markdown to format the content, potentially creating tables if the data lends itself to such organization.\n\n### Reconstructed Content\n\nGiven the input, it seems like there are lists of names accompanied by numbers.

As however Site No. 1 is within the tidal area of Tytam Bay and as the construction of a dam on it will involve the excavation of a trench 60 feet in depth below low water level in order to reach a rock foundation, it does not lend itself to the construction of a reservoir of greater capacity than that proposed in February 1905, namely, 1,200 million gallons. Recent developments indicate that further reservoir accommodation will be required in future and it is therefore important that the additional storage capacity to be gained by the construction of a dam on site No. 3 should be availed of. Further, the early augmentation of the supply of water is of the greatest importance at the present time and this will be effected much sooner by the works now under construction than by works on Site No. 1. I may add that, by the execution of the present scheme, involving an addition of a storage of 1,500 million gallons, the City and Hill District will, for the first time since the Colony was founded, be in possession of a really adequate supply of water.\n\nWhatham.\n**Director of Public Works**.\n26. 6. 13.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-402 - Governor Sir May - 1913 [7-8].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 448343, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-412 - Governor Sir May - 1914 [7-8]", "page_number": 48, "title": "CO129-412 - Governor Sir May - 1914 [7-8]", "content_text": "HONG KONG\n\nC.O 31770\n\n43\n\n175-8\n\n1914\n\n17 Vely\n\nLast previous Paper.\n\n7.2549\n\nTixers\n\nb.

Foley, who was recently retired from the service on the ground of ill-health.\n\n2. Mr. Foley joined the Hongkong Police Force on the 27th August, 1904, and he retired on the 11th April last. His service, after deducting five months and one day in respect of half pay leave, is 9 years 2 months and 13 days. As he had, however, previous service under the Crown in the Royal Navy before joining the Police Force, his case would appear to come within Sub-section (1)(a) of Section 3 of the Police Pensions Minute of the 25th May, 1896, under which he is entitled to an addition of four years, being one-third of the aggregate of his service elsewhere than in the Colony, making his total service for pension 13 years.\n\nThe salary on which his pension is calculated is £145 and the pension is £31. 8s. 4d. I enclose copies of the pension paper and would be glad if the Crown Agents could be instructed to pay the pension as it becomes due.\n\n2.

It will be recalled too that Mr. Clauson in his minute of the 5th January on the 1939 file has expressed doubts as to whether the Port of London Authority (which was for many years run by Sir David Owen) is the repository of all wisdom on the subject of Port Administration.\n\nI submit draft reply to Sir J.

(Incidentally, Sir C. Bottomley mentioned that he had discussed the matter with Mr. Coode and the latter quite appreciated that he would not be a joint Commissioner with Sir D. Owen, only a technical adviser). After discussion it was finally agreed, that in view of the advantage of obtaining an Engineer who was not associated with Consulting Engineers, further enquiry should be made by the Colonial Office to see whether the Ministry of Transport could recommend any suitable person, possibly someone with experience in one of the larger Indian ports. Sir D. Owen suggested that Mr. Shirley Hawkins, engineer to the Ministry of Transport, might be able to advise or even be willing himself to undertake the appointment.\n\nIt was agreed that if these enquiries were fruitless Mr. Coode might be appointed.
