        "content_text": "# Jn 275\n\nTo His EXCELLENCY SIR HERCULES G. R. ROBINSON, Knight, Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Colony of Hongkong and its Dependencies and Vice-Admiral of the same.\n\nThis Memorial of Residents in the Colony of Hongkong humbly Sheweth: That the Memorialists whose names are hereto subscribed respectfully lay before Your Excellency their anxious desire that the Law of Limited Liability of Shareholders in Joint Stock Companies as prevailing in England may be carried into effect in this Colony.\n\n2\\. Your Memorialists are aware that an Ordinance embodying this principle and described as the \"Companies' Ordinance of 1864\" was lately rejected on its second reading in the Legislative Council by a majority of one vote, but your Memorialists are led to believe that this circumstance simply arose from a misapprehension of the views held on this important question by the great majority of this Community.\n\n3\\. Your Memorialists are deeply interested in the prosperity of the Colony and are convinced that its welfare can be largely promoted by Joint Stock Associations formed for the purpose of carrying out such enterprises as cannot be undertaken by single individuals or by Mercantile firms. And your Memorialists clearly perceive that such combinations of private Capital can only be attained through the influence of a measure which will limit responsibility of Shareholders to a fixed extent.\n\n4\\. It is most respectfully submitted by your Memorialists that there always is in this place and in the neighbouring Ports of China a certain accumulation of private means not actively used in Commerce, and which could in many ways be advantageously employed were the desired Law in force. There is also a large stream of wealth constantly leaving China, some of which would assuredly remain here for permanent investment, by means of the facilities created under the operation of the said Law. An amount of outside Capital would thus be attracted to the Colony which would greatly stimulate its industrial character. It is moreover highly probable that nearly all the public Companies at the open Ports of China, would in course of time, avail of the privilege of registration in this Colony which would thus become the Official Head Quarters of many important enterprises, and attain a more eminent position in connection with the trade of China than belongs to it now.\n\n6\\. Lastly your Memorialists confidently believe that there is nothing exceptional in the character of Hongkong as a place of business, so as to render it unfit to possess the desired facility for local enterprise, and your Memorialists earnestly pray Your Excellency to consider with favour this petition, and again lay before the Legislative Council the \"Ordinance of 1864,\" together with this prayer of the Inhabitants that the said Ordinance may become the Law of this Colony. \"Companies' And Petitioners humbly pray, &c.,\n\nyour\n\nGeorge J.

        "content_text": "; \n\n1\n\n61\n\nYour Memorialists, in addition to objecting to the imposition of a Stamp tax as being in principle wrong, even for providing for a temporary deficit, do most solemnly and earnestly protest against the even more injurious policy, declared in Your Excellency's letter, of seizing the opportunity, of there being an alleged need of money, for a purely temporary and transitory purpose, to impose upon the Colony, and its trade, a yearly additional tax of $120,000, being equal to one seventh of the present annual Revenue.\n\nThe only argument Your Memorialists have heard in favour of taxation in this manner, is, that it is not politically expedient to derive all Revenue from one or more specific sources, but if this be true as an abstract proposition of political economy, surely the fact that, since the existence of the Colony, the Legislature have followed this course without even demur on the part of those taxed, is sufficient to shew, that Hongkong, in its circumstances, is in an exceptional position, and must be dealt with as the position requires, and not in the manner required by any abstract dogma or theory.\n\nThere are many other objections to the imposition of any Stamp tax, partly to the principle, and partly to the operation, of such a measure, on which Your Memorialists will not dilate, but they may point out, as instances, the severity and stringency of the provisions punishing breaches of the Ordinance, the difficulty and cost of collection, and almost certain evasion of it by such of the Chinese as retain here, its vexatious intricacy, and its inequality, in leaving untaxed a large body of Residents who, if not individually wealthy, are wealthy as classes or interests, and who ought to contribute to these local requirements.\n\nYour Memorialists in conclusion beg to express their conviction that though this is a Crown Colony, and they can be taxed by an Order in Council, or an express Order from the Government to the Governor here to levy a tax, or raise a subsidy, yet when, in compliance with the Standing Orders of the Legislative Council, and the whole previous course of practice here, the Council, as such, are asked to pass, or reject, a measure involving the mere mode of raising the requisite sums, Your Memorialists are then entitled to have their ideas on that subject received through the recognized medium, the Non-Official Members of the Council, and as their remonstrances were of no avail, they conceive themselves further entitled to bring before the Government the strong opinions they entertain on the matter, and firmly, though respectfully, to urge Your Excellency to a reconsideration of what is, at best, a mere question of expediency, affecting their interests only, and upon which they ought to be considered, if not the best judges, at least as the best exponents of the balance of benefit or prejudice that may result from the measure.\n\nYour Memorialists therefore humbly beg Your Excellency to reconsider the question, to defer such portion of the Expenditure as is not of immediate or vital import to the Colony to a more auspicious period; to raise any Sums that may be presently needed by some other, and less hurtful method, and to postpone indefinitely the further consideration of any Stamp Tax or at least until all other available and usual sources of taxation have been exhausted.\n\nAnd Your Memorialists will ever pray:\n\nB.

Having been for many years past, the only remaining one of the original staff sent out in 1844 to organise the Government of Hongkong, it is quite time that I should think of making my departing bow, and you will agree with me, that it cannot be matter of surprise that the faculty should be of the same opinion. The community of Hongkong is naturally a varying and changeable one as regards its component individual parts, and therefore I am pleased to hear that while you offer me the expression of your confidence, you answer also for those who have gone before you, as holding the same views with regard to me as yourselves. As to my official conduct, I can but say that I have endeavoured to do my duty, and I am happy to know that the public records prove that in the opinion of the Governors under whom I have served, I have succeeded in doing it, while my administration of this Government for a period of nearly three years has received the approval of the Secretary of State. I shall be brief, gentlemen, but I wish to say one word as to the Colony and its future. I shall not occupy your time in dwelling on its marvellous growth and continued prosperity. Where little more than a quarter of a century back were a barren hill side and a few fishing-huts, now rise stately palaces and substantial godowns. For the rude boats and uncouth junks that once paid occasional visits to the waters of Hongkong, you see now the tapering mast and the smoky funnel that \n\n604",

As to the patience and forbearance displayed by the crew of the C. O. Whitmore, I hesitated for a moment whether I should propose to you to express admiration of their conduct, for it is to me an unsolved puzzle. Yet the very feeling that I myself and probably many of you could not have patiently and submissively suffered the unparalleled ill-treatment they underwent, should urge you to admire the spirit of subordination so necessary for the management of a vessel which induced the crew so patiently to bear and suffer until their arrival in this harbour. The resolution is as follows: \"That this meeting desires to proffer its sympathy and condolence to the widow and family of the deceased James H. Ellwood, late second mate of the American barque C.O. Whitmore, and to express its admiration of the patience and forbearance of the crew under the violence and refined slow cruelty which they received and which are without parallel in the history of the Mercantile Marine.\" Rev. J. LAMONT seconded, and the resolution was carried unanimously.\n\nMr. COUGHTRIE-I have been asked to propose another resolution. I will not detain you long. We read the accounts of the proceedings at the U.S. Consulate day by day, and everyone must have been struck by the calm and judicial manner in which Mr. Bailey conducted the inquiry. He fulfilled in an extremely praiseworthy manner a most difficult task, one which would have carried away many gentlemen in a similar situation. I move \"That this meeting hereby testifies its high sense of the exemplary manner in which D. H. Bailey, Esq., the American Consul at this Port, has conducted the long and painful investigation of this case; and its appreciation of the very able judgment by which the proceedings have been closed.\"-(Applause).\n\nMr. FIM seconded.\n\nMr. CORDES endorsed the remarks made by Mr. Coughtrie.\n\nThe resolution was then put and carried.\n\nMr. SHARP moved-\"This meeting requests the following gentlemen to act as a committee to carry out the foregoing resolutions, and to adopt such measures as they may think fit under the circumstances:-W.

        "content_text": "31\n\n( 14 )\n\nby His Excellency for a considerable time after it had been forwarded to him, they thought it unwise to alter the decision that had been come to at the special, and what the Committee considered a final, meeting held in December 1879, at any rate until after receiving a reply to their letter of the 13th May.\n\nWith regard to the charges brought against the Committee of omitting to bring to the notice of the public the Lease of the ground on which the City Hall stands and the minutes and correspondence relating to the Government Grant, the Committee have only to state that the whole of these documents were laid before the special meeting held in December and were fully discussed and considered thereat.\n\nAs from what His Excellency stated your Lordship might infer that these new rules were agreed to by a majority of one only, the Committee think it right to state that the following gentlemen were present at the meeting, viz.: Hon. W. Keswick (Chairman), Hon. W. H. Marsh, Hon. P. Ryrie, H. Hoppius, Esq., D. Ruttonjee, Esq., F. D. Sassoon, Esq., W. H. Forbes, Esq., His Honor the Chief Justice Sir John Swale, and His Lordship the Right Reverend Bishop Burdon, and that the new rules were agreed to by a majority of six to three. The only reason that the Committee did not discuss the second article of the basis of settlement was that they thought, as His Excellency had agreed to be bound by the majority at the meeting, that it was unnecessary to put on record that they considered that His Excellency was wrong in supposing that the original understanding with the Government had been departed from.\n\nAs your Lordship might suppose from His Excellency's speech that the meeting held in December was in consequence of the letter quoted by His Excellency as having been received by him from the Chief Justice, the Committee think it right to point out that the \"basis of settlement\" upon which alone the special meeting was agreed to and referred to in their letter to you of the 13th May, emanated from a totally different source, and that the meeting was held upon the plain understanding that His Excellency would feel bound by the vote of the majority present at that meeting.\n\nIn order to place the matter fairly before your Lordship and those interested in the City Hall and to refute the accusations contained in the Governor's speech, the Committee have laid all the facts and documents in their possession or of which they are cognizant before Mr. T. C. Hayllar, Q.C., in order to obtain a legal opinion as to the status of Mr. Ryrie and his co-lessees, and have printed the same as an addendum to their Annual Report which was issued in August last. A copy of that report and of the addendum containing the case laid before Counsel, with his opinion thereon, they enclose for your Lordship's information.\n\n( 15 )\n\nWith reference to the value of the ground upon which the City Hall stands His Excellency stated that it is valued at $70,000 or more. The only remark the Committee would make as to this is that the ground was claimed both by the Imperial and Colonial authorities, and that even if it were the sole property of the latter, they have precluded themselves, by the Leases granted to the holders of the adjoining lots to the westward, from selling for ordinary building purposes Lot No. 82, upon which the City Hall now stands; and even if it could have been sold in 1866 for ordinary purposes, its marketable value would have been under $10,000.\n\nAt the conclusion of His Excellency's speech at the Legislative Council he said:-\n\n\"The question now arises, whether we are to pay the rate-payers' money to these gentlemen who have no legal position whatever as far as the City Hall is concerned, who are violating every engagement they made to the Government, but above all, who are endeavouring at this time, in the nineteenth century, to retain in Hongkong the last little remnant of intolerance in the shape of their notice.\"\n\nWith reference to their legal standing, as your Lordship will see, the opinion of the only Queen's Counsel in the Colony is that the Committee have a perfectly legal position, and that it had up to the 19th September, 1879, always been recognised by the Government. As to their violating the engagement between them and the Government, Counsel states that in his opinion they have not done so; and finally, as to intolerance, as the Committee have already pointed out, the rules as to admission were made as much for the benefit of the Chinese as for that of Europeans, and that too after consultation with many of the most respectable Chinamen in the Colony. They would further add that no complaint whatever as to these rules ever reached them up to the time of their receiving the Colonial Secretary's letter on the 19th September 1879. That regulations such as those complained of are considered necessary in other places where the native population far exceeds the European, is shown by the fact that the following notice was at the time of the Governor's...\n\nDec.",

        "content_text": "Enclosure 3.\n\n3534\n\nPETITIONS AGAINST THE OPIUM BILL.\n\nThe ACTING COLONIAL SECRETARY-The Clerk of Councils has received two petitions about the Opium Bill. I move that they be read.\n\nThe CLERK OF COUNCILS read the petitions as follows:- To HIS EXCELLENCY THE PRESIDENT, AND THE HONOURABLE MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL OF HONGKONG.\n\nThe humble petition of Shellim Ezekiel Shellim, of the firm of David Sassoon, Sons & Co., Jacob Silas Moses, of the firm of E. D. Sassoon & Co., Buttonjee Dadabhoy Tata, of the firm of Tata & Co., Marcus David Ezekiel, of the firm of Abraham Ezekiel & Co., Mahomelbhoy Khetsey, of the firm of Tharia Topan, Jafforbhoy Khetsey, of the firm of Jairazbhoy Peerbhoy & Co., and Hormusjee Merwanjee Mehta, of the firm of Framjee Hormusjee & Co., all of Victoria in the colony of Hongkong, for and on behalf of the opium importers and wholesale opium merchants of the said colony,\n\nSHEWETH-That at a recent meeting of the opium importers and wholesale opium merchants of this colony, held for the purpose of considering the Bill now before your Honourable Council, entitled \"An Ordinance for the better regulation of the trade in opium,\" it was inter alia resolved that the said Bill, if passed in its present form, would prejudicially affect their trade, and that your petitioners should be appointed a Committee to take such measures as they might consider advisable to bring their complaints before your Honourable Council.\n\nThat while fully recognizing the necessity of carrying out the object aimed at by the said Bill, namely, the prevention of opium smuggling into China, and while sympathizing with its spirit, your petitioners submit that the means by which it is proposed to effectuate such object would inflict serious injury upon the opium trade, and especially on the aforesaid opium importers and wholesale and retail opium dealers, and prove a blow to the general commerce and prosperity of this colony.\n\nThat your petitioners believe that the end intended to be accomplished by the said Bill could be attained by other and less objectionable means, and that your petitioners are prepared to co-operate with your Honourable Council and the executive in attaining the desired object.\n\nThat inasmuch as the Bill affects private interests, and was only brought in and read a first time on Friday, the 18th inst., it is desirable to postpone the second reading thereof so as to enable the persons who are more immediately interested, as well as the general public, to acquaint themselves with its scope and object.\n\nYour petitioners therefore humbly pray\n\n1.-That the second reading of the said Bill may be postponed until such day as your Honourable Council may under the circumstances deem meet.\n\n2. That your petitioners may be heard by Counsel at the bar of your Honourable Council as to their objections to the said Bill in its present form.\n\n3.-That the said Bill may be so amended or modified as to remove the objections of your petitioners, or that it may be withdrawn and a fresh Bill introduced such as the necessity of the case requires.\n\nAnd your petitioners will ever pray, &c.\n\nHongkong, 22nd March, 1887.\n\nS. E. SHELLIM.\n\nJ. S. MOSES.\n\nR. D. TATA.\n\nM. D. EZEKIEL.\n\nM. KHETSEY.\n\nJ. KHETSEY.\n\nH. M. MEHTA.\n\nThe humble petition of the undersigned merchants and traders resident in Hongkong respectfully showeth-\n\n1. Your petitioners are dealers in opium residing and carrying on business in Hongkong.\n\n2.-At the meeting of your Honourable Council held on Friday, the 18th March instant, a Bill was introduced and read a first time entitled \"An Ordinance for the better regulation of the trade in opium,\" and the said Bill is framed for the purpose of regulating the movement of raw opium in this Colony and of prohibiting the purchase or sale of raw opium in quantities less than one chest.\n\n3. Your petitioners deal largely in raw opium, buying and selling it in quantities less than one chest, and have a large capital engaged in the said business, and they employ in their said business many hundreds of persons.\n\n4.-If the said Bill becomes law in its present form the business hitherto carried on by your petitioners will absolutely cease and can no more be carried on; the capital therein employed will be idle, the hundreds of persons now occupied in the said business will be thrown out of employment, and your petitioners will all of them suffer grievous loss and injury, and some of them will be irretrievably ruined.\n\n5.-Your petitioners respectfully submit that the objects proposed to be attained by the said Bill may be far more effectually carried out by means other than those contained in the said Bill, and without loss or injury to any class of the community; and they therefore humbly pray that on the second reading of the said Bill they may be heard by their counsel against the said Bill under the provisions of the 47th of the Standing Orders and rules of this Honourable Council, and that they may have due notice of such second reading.\n\n(Signed) WING KAT CHEUNG,\n\n&c. &c. &c.\n\n527\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY-As regards the prayers of these two memorials, that the petitioners may be heard by counsel before this Council, I am advised that they have no right to appear by counsel under the provisions of the Orders of this Council, 47; but as I think this is a subject that ought to be well and thoroughly ventilated I shall offer no opposition if, after the second reading has been moved and seconded, any member moves that they may be permitted to appear by counsel and if the Council approves of that motion. I propose that the second reading should be moved and seconded to-day, and that the further discussion be adjourned.\n\nTHE OPIUM BILL.\n\nThe ACTING ATTORNEY-GENERAL-I beg to move the second reading of the Bill for the better regulation of the trade in opium. In doing so I shall endeavour, as briefly as possible, to lay before the Council the circumstances which have made the Ordinance necessary. I might almost say, imperative. You are all aware that the collection of the maritime customs in China are entrusted to two different departments-the foreign collectorate, which collects all import and export duties on goods carried by foreign vessels to and from treaty ports, and the native collectorate, which collects all dues and duties on goods carried by junks to and from both treaty and other ports. By the treaty of Tientsin the duty on foreign opium was fixed at thirty taels per picul. In the North, foreign opium is mostly carried in foreign ships, and the duty is therefore collected by the foreign collectorate, while in the South a great deal of the opium is carried in junks to treaty ports and non-treaty ports, and some is taken overland and pays duty to the native collectorate. All this opium has hitherto paid duty according to the manner in which it was carried. Junk-shipped opium has paid twenty-five per cent. less than steamer-shipped opium. Besides this duty on opium there is another tax called likin, which is imposed by the Viceroys of different provinces. It has varied in amount from time to time, and has sometimes been less in one province than in another. With the collection of the likin the foreign collectorate has, hitherto, had nothing to do. It was collected at the ports and at various places in the interior. It is important to bear this in mind because according to the Additional Article the likin duty is now fixed at eighty taels per picul, and this will in future be collected by the foreign customs and before the opium is taken possession of by the purchaser. The attempt which the Hoppo and the Viceroy made to collect the duty and the likin here led to a great deal of smuggling, and in order to prevent this both the Viceroy and the Hoppo organised preventive services. They had cruisers and steam launches, and they established stations at the entrances to Hongkong Harbour. They overhauled all junks passing these stations and what has since been called the blockade of Hongkong began.\n\nI am not going to allude to this at any great length because you are all aware of the abuses which arose from this system and the complaints which were made from time to time as to the alleged illegal seizure of junks trading to and from this Colony. I know it will be said that these complaints have now ceased and that the blockade is a thing of the past. This I shall allude to further on. This blockade was a constant source of complaint. On the one hand the Chinese authorities complained that smuggling was carried on to a large extent and that they had a right to do all in their power to prevent it. On the other hand the colonists contended that Hongkong was a free port, that they had nothing to do with smuggling, and that the authorities had no right to injure their trade while engaged in protecting the revenue. Voluminous correspondence took place on this subject. I will quote only two passages. The first runs as follows: \"Moreover there can be no doubt that the action of the Chinese revenue steamers, sailing vessels, and boats in the harbour of Victoria, within sight of the whole community, not only keeps up a feeling of irritation among the British residents, but is calculated to create a false impression among the Chinese in the colony, by whom the tacit acquiescence of the British Government in these extraordinary proceedings is not improbably attributed to fear of the Chinese authorities, and to recognition of their unjust pretensions.\" The second extract is one from a report.\n\nPage 27",

Next to the approval of his sovereign, a soldier values the esteem of his fellow countrymen, and it is very encouraging to find that \n\n## Page 207",

Prejudged and prejudiced as the matter has been from the first under a misapprehension of the circumstance, as set forth by interested parties before the Captain Superintendent, it has been unfortunately further prejudiced by certain cases that have cropped up recently against men of the type of Guada Singh, but your Petitioner unflinchingly believes that his conduct in the matter of the alleged transaction with Da Rocha will bear thorough investigation, and that he also confidently believes that he will come out of that inquiry without the slightest tar or tarnish on his character, and that he will be saved from the ignominy attaching to a dismissal.\n\n6.--Your Petitioner, therefore, earnestly prays that, taking all the circumstances respectfully urged by him in this and the previous Petitions, your Excellency will be graciously pleased not to condemn a servant of the Crown in the position of your Petitioner unheard, but that your Excellency will be pleased to appoint an independent Commission of Inquiry to fairly investigate the conduct of the Petitioner in the transaction attributed with Da Rocha, and to act on the Report of the Commission. Your Petitioner cannot but entertain an honest belief that such an inquiry will prove him not guilty of any breach attributed to him of any of the Rules and Regulations, in force at the time the alleged transaction was said to have taken place, for the general government and discipline of the Police.\n\n7--Or, if the appointment of an independent Commission of Inquiry be deemed inexpedient by your Excellency, your Petitioner humbly prays that your Excellency will be pleased to review, on the grounds urged by him, your Excellency's decision as to the dismissal of the Petitioner from the Police Force, or to so far modify your Excellency's decision as to grant to your Petitioner the pension honestly accruing to him after almost a lifetime of service, and to which your Petitioner ventures to say in this Petition hardly any member of the Indian Police Force can now lay claim.\n\n8. And Your Petitioner will ever pray, &c.\n\nSigned,\n\nUTTER SINGH,  \nLATE INDIAN SERGEANT-MAJOR  \nHONGKONG POLICE FORCE.\n\nDated this 24th day of April, 1897.\n\n## \n\nHONGKONG, 4th June, 1897.\n\nOn behalf of myself and the signatories, I have the honour to forward the enclosed Petition respecting the case of Ex-Sergeant Major Utter Singh, of the Police Force, which I beg you will please place before His Excellency The Governor for his favourable consideration.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nSigned,\n\nE. PABANEY.\n\nTo\n\nTHE HONOURABLE  \nJ. H. STEWART LOCKHART,  \nCOLONIAL SECRETARY.\n\n## THE HUMBLE PETITION OF THE UNDERSIGNED INDIAN BRITISH MERCHANTS, TRADERS AND OTHERS RESIDING IN THE COLONY OF HONGKONG\n\n1.--Your Petitioners are Indian Merchants, Traders, and loyal subjects of Her Majesty Queen of Great Britain and Empress of India, and engaging in business in Hongkong and elsewhere.\n\n2.--They have known Utter Singh, late Indian Sergeant-Major of the Hongkong Police Force, for a number of years, and have every reason to believe that as a Police Officer he has served Her Majesty the Empress in the Hongkong Police for upwards of eighteen years, and has during that time by his good conduct deservedly earned the respect and confidence of all his superior officers, as he has done of your Petitioners, and that your Petitioners could not but feel gratified that such conduct deservedly earned him the promotion, in 1896, to the highest rank the Indian section of the Hongkong Police Force could aspire to, that is to the rank of Sergeant-Major.\n\n3.--Your Petitioners heard with great regret that on the 3rd day of December, 1896, the said Utter Singh was dismissed from the said Police Force by the Honourable the Captain Superintendent of Police for an alleged breach of the Police regulations, and that he was thus not only deprived of the pension and gratuity that had accrued to him after many years of hard and faithful service, but that also the ignominy of a dismissal was inflicted on him.\n\n4.--Your Petitioners believe that the circumstances which led to the dismissal of Utter Singh were an alleged implication in some money-lending transaction, said to have transpired some three years ago, and that being implicated, as alleged, in such transaction was and is against the regulations of the said Police Force.\n\n5.--Your Petitioners are informed that all the circumstances attaching to the alleged money-lending transaction have been duly set forth in representations made to your Excellency by Utter Singh, but your Petitioners extremely regret that the redress which the said Utter Singh seeks, on the plea of not guilty, has been absolutely denied to him. Your Petitioners further regret that, beyond a certain informal procedure of inquiry adopted by the Captain Superintendent of Police, Utter Singh was never definitely informed of the exact nature of the charges made against him, and your Petitioners, therefore, respectfully submit that he had not had those opportunities of meeting those charges as could have thoroughly exculpated him in the eyes of his superior officer, though in the informal inquiry made as to an alleged lending of fifty dollars some three years ago to one Da Rocha, a telephone clerk in the Central Police Station, it has not failed to come out most prominently that Da Rocha repeated one story before the Captain Superintendent under that officer's previous inquiry in Utter Singh's absence, but radically subverted it when confronted with him, so much so that the Captain Superintendent was not slow to tax him severely for so prevaricating. This circumstance cannot but have a double bearing. First, that the informal inquiry had not been sufficient enough for eliciting the facts of the case, and, secondly, that the safeguards instrumental to guarding against deliberate prevarication had been altogether wanting in the Captain Superintendent's informal inquiry.\n\n6. Your Petitioners will not pretend to shield the said Utter Singh from the just penalty of any breach of Police Regulations, but your Petitioners feel that the exceptional severity with which he has been condemned and dealt with almost unheard, and the extent of the punishment inflicted on him, have not been fully appreciated by your Excellency, and your Petitioners cannot but regret that that severity is further enhanced many fold when Utter Singh's prayer for an independent Commission of Inquiry remains altogether unheeded.\n\n7.--Your Petitioners cannot but be aware that under a misapprehension of the circumstances, as set forth by interested parties before the Captain Superintendent, Utter Singh's case has from the first been prejudged and prejudiced, and that it has been further prejudiced by certain aspects of the Sikh characteristics that have cropped up against them in some of the cases that were recently heard in the Supreme Court. But your Petitioners beg to observe that, on the whole, the Sikhs are not so very black as they are painted. That they are not exempt from certain failings your Petitioners can hardly gainsay. They have, as Sir Lepel Griffin, a former Lieut.-Governor of the Punjab has described them, \"as keen a knowledge of the value of money, and as great a love of saving as the Scotch.\" But that they are dignified, sober, and orderly men, obedient to discipline, and devotedly attached to their officers is also a certificate that goes from the very same eminent authority.\n\n8.--Your Petitioners have all along observed that Utter Singh, like unto many others in the Police Force of this Colony, is a type representing the latter characteristics, and though possibly he may go under the former category as well, still your Petitioners believe that that being a trait common to many nations is no bar to a prayer for fair hearing on the true merits of his individual case, and that, therefore, your Petitioners venture to approach your Excellency with a very respectful prayer that your Excellency may be pleased to review your decision in Utter Singh's case, and to grant that redress and that justice to him which the merits of his case, in conjunction with the consideration of his long and faithful service of nearly eighteen years, entitle him to as a servant of the Crown.\n\nAnd Your Petitioners will ever pray, &c.\n\nSigned,\n\nE.

        "content_text": "# Petition of Utter Singh\n\n## First Petition\n\n5. Your Petitioner humbly submits that the matter has been from the first under a misapprehension of the circumstances, as set forth by interested parties before the Captain Superintendent, and it has been unfortunately further prejudiced by certain aspects that have cropped up recently against men of the type of Gunda Singh. But your Petitioner unflinchingly believes that his veracity in the matter of the alleged transaction with Da Rocha will bear thorough investigation, and that he also confidently believes that he will come out of that inquiry without the slightest tar or tarnish on his character, and that he will be free from the ignominy attaching to a dismissal.\n\n6. Your Petitioner, therefore, earnestly prays that, taking all the circumstances respectfully urged by him in this and the previous Petitions, your Excellency will be graciously pleased not to condemn a servant of the Crown in the position of your Petitioner unheard, but that your Excellency will be pleased to appoint an independent Commission of Inquiry to formally investigate the conduct of the Petitioner in the transaction attributed to him with Da Rocha, and to act on the Report of the Commission. Your Petitioner cannot but entertain an honest belief that such an inquiry will prove him not guilty of any breach attributed to him of any of the Rules and Regulations in force at the time the alleged transaction was said to have taken place, for the general government and discipline of the Police.\n\n7. Or, if the appointment of an independent Commission of Inquiry be deemed inexpedient by your Excellency, your Petitioner humbly prays that your Excellency will be pleased to review, on the grounds urged by him, your Excellency's decision as to the dismissal of the Petitioner from the Police Force, or to so far modify your Excellency's decision as to grant to your Petitioner the pension honestly accruing to him after almost a lifetime of service, and to which your Petitioner ventures to say that hardly any member of the Indian Police Force can now lay claim.\n\n8. And Your Petitioner will ever pray, &c.\n\nDated this 24th day of April, 1897.\n\nUTTER SINGH,\nLATE INDIAN SERGEANT-MAJOR\nHONGKONG POLICE FORCE\n\nHONGKONG, 4th June, 1897.\n\nOn behalf of myself and the signatories, I have the honour to forward the enclosed Petition respecting the case of Ex-Sergeant-Major Utter Singh, of the Police Force, which I beg you will please place before His Excellency The Governor for his favourable consideration.\n\nI have the honour to be,\nSir,\nYour most obedient servant,\nE. PARANEY.\n\nTo\nTHE HONOURABLE\nJ. R. STEWART LOCKHART,\nCOLONIAL SECRETARY.\n\n## Second Petition\n\n3. Your Petitioners heard with great regret that on the 3rd day of December, 1896, the said Utter Singh was dismissed from the said Police Force by the Honourable the Captain Superintendent of Police for an alleged breach of the Police regulations, and that he was thus not only deprived of the pension and gratuity that had accrued to him after many years of hard and faithful service, but that also the ignominy of a dismissal was inflicted on him.\n\n4. Your Petitioners believe that the circumstances which led to the dismissal of Utter Singh were an alleged implication in some money-lending transaction, said to have transpired some three years ago, and that being implicated, as alleged, in such transaction was and is against the regulations of the said Police Force.\n\n5. Your Petitioners are informed that all the circumstances attaching to the alleged money-lending transaction have been duly set forth in representations made to your Excellency by Utter Singh, but your Petitioners extremely regret that the redress which the said Utter Singh seeks, on the plea of not guilty, has been absolutely denied to him. Your Petitioners further regret that, beyond a certain informal procedure of inquiry adopted by the Captain Superintendent of Police, Utter Singh was never definitely informed of the exact nature of the charges made against him, and your Petitioners, therefore, respectfully submit that he did not have those opportunities of meeting those charges as could have thoroughly exculpated him in the eyes of his superior officer, though in the informal inquiry made as to an alleged lending of fifty dollars some three years ago to one Koehn, a telephone clerk in the Central Police Station, it has not failed to come out most prominently that Da Rocha repeated one story before the Captain Superintendent under that officer's previous inquiry in Utter Singh's absence, but radically subverted it when confronted with him, so much so that the Captain Superintendent was not slow to tax him severely for so prevaricating. This circumstance ought to have a double bearing. First, that the informal inquiry had not been sufficient enough for eliciting the facts of the case, and, secondly, that the safeguards instrumental in guarding against deliberate prevarication had been altogether wanting in the Captain Superintendent's informal inquiry.\n\n6. Your Petitioners will not pretend to shield the said Utter Singh from the just penalty of any breach of Police Regulations, but your Petitioners feel that the exceptional severity with which he has been condemned and dealt with almost unheard, and the extent of the punishment inflicted on him, have not been fully appreciated by your Excellency, and your Petitioners cannot but regret that that severity is further enhanced many fold when Utter Singh's prayer for an independent Commission of Inquiry remains altogether unheeded.\n\n7. Your Petitioners cannot but be aware that under a misapprehension of the circumstances, as set forth by interested parties before the Captain Superintendent, Utter Singh's case has from the first been prejudiced, and that it has been further prejudiced by certain aspects of the Sikh characteristics that have cropped up against them in some of the cases that were recently heard in the Supreme Court. But your Petitioners beg to observe that, on the whole, the Sikhs are not so very black as they are painted. That they are not exempt from certain failings, your Petitioners can hardly gainsay. They have, as Sir Lepel Griffin, a former Lieut.-Governor of the Punjab, has described them, \"as keen a knowledge of the value of money, and as great a love of saving as the Scotch.\" But that they are dignified, sober, and orderly men, obedient to discipline, and devotedly attached to their officers, is also a certificate that goes from the very same eminent authority.\n\n8. Your Petitioners have all along observed that Utter Singh, like unto many others in the Police Force of this Colony, is a type representing the latter characteristics, and though possibly he may come under the former category as well, still your Petitioners believe that that being a trait common to many nations is no bar to a prayer for fair hearing on the true merits of his individual case, and that, therefore, your Petitioners venture to approach your Excellency with a very respectful prayer that your Excellency may be pleased to review your decision in Utter Singh's case, and to grant that redress and that justice to him which the merits of his case, in conjunction with the consideration of his long and faithful service of nearly eighteen years, entitle him to as a servant of the Crown.\n\nAnd Your Petitioners will ever pray, &c.\n\nHONGKONG, 31st May, 1897.\n\nE. PARANEY.\nF. D. SERVAI.\nB. L. BATTLIWALLA.\n\nTo\nHis EXCELLENCY\nSir WILLIAM ROBINSON, K.C.M.G.,\nCOMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OF THE COLONY OF HONGKONG AND ITS DEPENDENCIES AND VICE-ADMIRAL OF THE SAME.\n\n## Signatories to the Second Petition\n\nTo His Excellency Sir William Robinson, K.C.M.G., Commander-in-Chief of the Colony of Hongkong and its Dependencies and Vice-Admiral of the same.\n\nThe undersigned Indian British merchants, traders, and residents in the Colony of Hongkong humbly sheweth:\n\n1. That they are merchants, traders, and loyal subjects of Her Majesty Queen of Great Britain, and are carrying on business in Hongkong and elsewhere.\n\n2. They have known Utter Singh, late Indian Sergeant-Major of the Hongkong Police Force, for a number of years, and have every reason to believe that as a Police Officer, he has served Her Majesty the Empress in the Hongkong Police for upwards of eighteen years, and has during that time, by his good conduct, deservedly earned the respect and confidence of all his superior officers, as he has done of your Petitioners, and that your Petitioners could not but feel gratified that such conduct deservedly secured him the promotion, in 1896, to the highest rank the Indian section of the Hongkong Police Force can aspire to, that is to the rank of Sergeant-Major.\n\nP.

Stanton\" subscribed to the said Statutory Declaration is of the proper handwriting of the said William Stanton, and that the name or signature \"A. P. Stokes\" subscribed thereto as the notary public before whom the said Statutory Declaration was made by the said William Stanton is of the proper handwriting of me, the said Notary... \n\nIn Testimony whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name and fixed my Seal of Office this first day of November, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-seven. \n\n(Signed) A. P. STOKES, \n\n**NOTARY PUBLIC, Hongkong**. \n\n## In the matter of the Humble Petition of Utter Singh, of No. 12, Hollywood Road, Victoria, Hongkong, late Sergeant-Major in the Police Force of that Colony, presented to the Right Honourable Mr. J. Chamberlain, M.P., Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Colonial Affairs, Downing Street, London, S.W., on the 18th day of September 1897, and \n\n## In the matter of the “Statutory Declarations Act, 1835.” \n\n1. I, William Stanton, of Victoria, in the Colony of Hongkong, late an Inspector in the Hongkong Police Force, do solemnly and sincerely declare and say as follows - \n\n1. On the 24th and 25th days of August last I was directed to attend before the Honourable Francis Henry May, the Captain Superintendent of Police of this Colony, and Henry Lardner Dennys, Crown Solicitor of this Colony, and did attend on the said days at Victoria Gaol to answer certain charges of not discovering and reporting a gambling house at No. 2, Wa Lane, Victoria, in this Colony. \n\n2. The hearing of the said charges was proceeded with before the above-mentioned gentlemen, and four witnesses were called by them against me. \n\n3. One of these witnesses was a Chinaman of the name of Tse Toung, who stated that he had been employed on and off for a number of years as a watchman to gambling houses in Wa Lane, Victoria, aforesaid, and whilst under cross-examination by me he stated that he had never received any monies from gamblers or gambling houses for the purpose of paying the same to any of the Indian Policemen in the Hongkong Police Force. He further stated to me that he had never paid any monies to such Indian Policemen by way of bribe. I pressed him in cross-examination, and in answer to my questions he stated that he had never paid any monies by way of bribes to any members of the Hongkong Police Force. He further stated that it would be false and untrue if he (this Deponent) were to say that he had performed such information. \n\n4. I verily believe that the evidence given in examination, cross-examination and re-examination by the said Tse Leung at the said enquiry was taken down verbatim by the Honourable Francis Henry May, Captain Superintendent of Police, and I believe that the above-mentioned statements of the said Tse Leung, mentioned and set forth in paragraph three of this my declaration, were so committed to writing as aforesaid by the Honourable Francis Henry May, Captain Superintendent of Police, and if reference thereto be made it will be found that what I have in this my declaration stated is true and correct, and I make this solemn declaration conscientiously believing the same to be true and by virtue of the provisions of \"The Statutory Declarations Act, 1835.\" \n\nDeclared at Victoria, in the Colony of Hongkong, this 28th day of October 1897, \n\nBefore me, \n\n(Signed) W. STANTON, \n\n(Signed) A. P. STOKES, \n\n**NOTARY PUBLIC, Hongkong**. \n\n## SERVICES RENDERED BY THE MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY OF UTTAR SINGH, LATE SERGEANT-MAJOR IN THE HONGKONG POLICE FORCE. \n\n1.

        "content_text": "March 25th, 1922.]\n\nMr. H. K. Erani and family who are shortly leaving for their native land were entertained at a dinner party held in their honour at the Parsee Club by the Parsee community of Hongkong. Mr. Erani has been manager of Messrs. N. Moody & Co. of Bombay, Calcutta & Hongkong, and has acted as Hon. Secretary and subsequently as President of the Zoroastrian Charity Funds for a considerable time past. He has always taken a very active interest in the management and administration of the funds, and as a mark of esteem and appreciation of the signal services rendered by him to the community in these capacities, he was after the dinner presented with a purse donated by his numerous friends and well-wishers of Hongkong and Canton and a bouquet of flowers was presented to Mrs. Erani by Miss Frany Ruttonjee. Mr. Erani will carry with him the hearty good wishes of friends of many nationalities as well as of practically the whole Parsee Community.\n\nThe Hon. Mr. Lau Chu Pak, the senior Chinese member of the Legislative Council, has intimated to H.E. The Governor his wish to resign his seat. The Hon. Mr. Lau Chu Pak has had a seat on the Council for the past eight years. He feels that he has reached a time of life when he requires more leisure. For the past thirty years he has devoted a good deal of his time and energy to public affairs. He is at the present time Chairman of the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce, and of the Chinese Committee formed in connection with the impending visit of H.R.H. the Prince of Wales. He feels that these positions make sufficient demand on his time and has consequently asked to be relieved from further service on the Legislative Council. If the resignation takes effect the Chinese community will certainly lose a representative who has watched their interests with every care and attention on the Council. The Chinese General Chamber of Commerce is trying to induce Mr. Lau Chu Pak to reconsider his decision.\n\nWEDDING.\nDINSDALE-SMITH.\n\nAt the Peak Church, on March 22nd, Mr. F. A. Dinsdale, of Messrs. Butterfield Swire, was married to Miss Dorya M. Smith.\n\nThe bride's dress was of white charmeuse with pearl embroidered georgette. Miss Hilary Lowe, the bridesmaid, was attired in mauve crepe de chine.\n\nThe bride was given away by her brother, Mr. R. M. Smith, and Mr. J. D. H. Crawford, of Messrs. Butterfield & Swire, acted as best man.\n\nAfterwards a reception was held at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Smith, No. 96, the Peak, at which the customary toasts were honoured.\n\nMr. and Mrs. Dinsdale left by the Empress of Asia yesterday, to spend their honeymoon at Shanghai.\n\nWEDDING OF CHINESE EX-EMPOROR.\nEDUCATION OF MANCHU BRIDES FOR DOUBLE MARRIAGE.\n\nArrangements are proceeding for the double marriage of the ex-Emperor to the grand-daughter of the late General Chang Shun, Manchu Governor of Kirin, and also to the daughter of Mr. Hsi Chen, the Minister of Civil Appointments in the Manchu régime, the latter becoming his \"Fei\" consort.\n\nThe prospective brides are at present studying Chinese and English at the ex-Regent's palace.\n\nCHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT\nDEATH OF SIR EVERARD FRASER, K.C.M.G.\n\nFORTY-TWO YEARS IN THE CONSULAR SERVICE.\n\nWe regret to learn of the death of Sir Everard Fraser, K.C.M.G., H.M.'s Consular-General at Shanghai, who died on March 20th from heart failure.\n\nSir Everard Duncan Home Fraser, who reached the sixty-third year of his age last month, had spent forty-two years in the Consular Service in China. He was appointed a student interpreter in China on March 30th, 1880, and the following record shows his subsequent career: Acting Consul at Foochow, 1888; at Kiukiang, 1889; Acting Consul at Ichang, 1889 to 1891; Acting Vice-Consul at Chemulpo, Corea, 1891 to 1892; Acting Consul at Chemulpo, 1892 to 1894; promoted First Assistant, December 1st, 1893; Vice-Consul at Canton, 1895 to 1897; Acting Consul there 1895 to 1897; promoted Vice-Consul at Pagoda Island, 1897; Consul at Chinkiang, 1899; Acting Consul at Foochow, 1898 to 1899; Acting Consul-General at Hankow, 1900 to 1901; Consul-General at Hankow from July 1st, 1901, until 1911, when he was transferred to Shanghai where he had since remained.\n\nPage 299\n\nTHE LATE MR. A. H. CREW\nTRIBUTES BY THE LEGAL PROFESSION.\n\nMembers of the legal profession assembled in the Supreme Court, on March 20th, before the Criminal Sessions opened, to pay a tribute of respect to the memory of the late Mr. A. H. Crew whose death from illness occurred in Hongkong on March 3rd.\n\nThe CHIEF JUSTICE (Sir William Rees Davies) said:- Mr. Attorney,-Again the ranks of the legal profession are depleted, by the death, at an early age, of Mr. Crew. Possessed of a lovable disposition and a genial nature, he had a host of friends who deeply mourn his death. He had practised in these Courts for ten years and was a sound lawyer and a very capable advocate. It is fitting, before we proceed to the business of the Court, that we should testify to the loss which the profession has sustained and tender our respectful sympathy to his family in their sorrow.\n\nThe PUISNE JUDGE (Mr. Justice Gonipertz), said that, having presided for many years in the Summary Court, where Mr. Crew had a very great deal of work, he wished to add his testimony to his good qualities. An excellent lawyer and advocate, the late Mr. Crew was very fair and absolutely straight, and it was a great pleasure to hear him either argue a point of law or present the facts of a case. He doubted whether there was any man in the profession who was so universally loved and whose loss would leave a greater gap in its ranks.\n\nSir Everard received the C.M.G. decoration in 1901 and was created K.C.M.G. in 1912. In 1911 he was honoured with the Coronation Medal. He married in 1899, a daughter of Mr. A. W. Walkinshaw of Foochow.\n\nFew Consuls have enjoyed the confidence and esteem of their nationals in a greater degree than the late Sir Everard Fraser did, and his death, which appears to have come very unexpectedly, must have been a great shock to the whole community of Shanghai, and will be deeply lamented by his many friends and by all indeed who have at any time come into touch with him either in his official capacity or socially. His death is a great loss to the British Consular service in China.\n\nTHE DAIRY FARM HERD, FROM ABERDEEN, SCOTLAND, TO POKFULUM.\n\nA considerable addition to the Dairy Farm herd reached the Colony by the motor vessel Glenogle, a few days ago. Two bulls and 68 cows were obtained from Scotland but, in spite of one death in London before shipment and one on the voyage, the herd reached Hongkong numerically much stronger than it started on the voyage. About 40 calves were born on the way and 24 of them landed here. Others became veal, or were otherwise accounted for, en route.\n\nTwo expert cattle men from Aberdeen accompanied the herd and must have found their hands full looking after such a large and increasing family. The passengers came off very well: rarely are there such quantities of milk on shipboard as the Glenogle had. Attempts were made, with moderate success, to convert some of it into butter.\n\nSpeaking on behalf of both branches of the legal profession, the ATTORNEY-GENERAL (the Hon. Mr. J. H. Kemp, K.C.) said he wished to express their great sense of loss at the death of Mr. Crew and to join with their Lordships in offering sympathy with the members of his family.\n\nNEW APPLIANCES FOR THE FIRE BRIGADE.\nTHE DENNIS PATENT TURBINE FIRE ENGINE.\n\nThere were unloaded from the motor vessel Glenade, on Mar. 18th, two Dennis Patent Turbine Fire Engines, each with a 50-feet extension ladder, purchased by the Government for the Fire Brigade at a cost of approximately £2,500 sterling each.\n\nThis type of fire appliance, of which many are in use with the London Fire Brigade, is a handsome, solidly built and well-engineered affair weighing, complete, about 6 tons. The engine develops 60-65 horse power; it has four cylinders and accumulator coil ignition. There are four forward gears and a reverse.\n\nThe fire engine is fitted with all the latest devices including a \"first-aid\" fire appliance; that is to say, it has an auxiliary pump, with 120 feet of rubber tubing, for coping with fires which turn out to be small; thereby damage by water is reduced. The principal pump is driven off the main shaft. The ladder has a patent safety clip which prevents any danger of its telescoping after extension.\n\nA trial run of one of the machines, on March 19th, gave the highest satisfaction. The engine ran magnificently and developed a high speed without any undue noise. It was noted, too, that the engine was most compact and that all the working parts were readily accessible.\n\nAnother shipment of cattle for the Dairy Farm Company is on the way to the Colony by the Glenary. Transportation of cattle is undertaken at this time of the year because the cattle travel better in the cooler weather: also they arrive in time to help meet the big summer demand for milk. Lately the Dairy Farm has had to refuse new customers but it will now be able to supply everyone.\n\nIt only remains to maintain a supply of drivers capable of treating such fine machines with the respect they deserve.\n\nPage ...",

Any surplus of Government subsidy would be earmarked for capital expenditure on improvements.\n\nAfter discussing the above estimates in detail, Major Creagh suggested that a $1,000,000 company could assure Hongkong an excellent service, extending probably as far as Rangoon and Singapore, but he did not see that this was necessary yet. It would be better to experiment with smaller scheme and connect up with the French and Dutch. He was as British as anyone, but he did not want to be so inconveniently British he could not be International. International co-operation was the essence of peace and progress in this part of the world.\n\nOpportunity to Be First. \"From October next the French and Dutch will, between them, run a bi-weekly service to Europe, but, once the French get into Hongkong, our job becomes twice as difficult, because there will only be half the income for us to work on, and, if they do come here, they will not be satisfied to stop at Hongkong but will push on parallel with us in our extensions Northward and Southward. Now is our opportunity to act and show them our willingness, from the beginning, to co-operate and so prove to them that there is no necessity for them to come further east than the confines of their own Colonial Empire.\"\n\nMajor Creagh concluded by inviting the meeting to form itself into a body to foster commercial aviation in the Colony and to form a business organisation having for its object the definite inception of an air line as suggested in his address.\n\nAn interesting discussion followed.\n\nMr. A. Ritchie, invited by Major Creagh to state the views of the Far East Aviation Co. Ltd., of which he is a director, explained that the company has been working for nearly three years more or less on the lines suggested in the speech just delivered. Major Creagh was correct in assuming that the company had experience, qualified men and funds adequate to carry out investigations. At the moment they felt that their plans were not ripe to come before the public with proposals, but they were approaching the Hongkong Government, Imperial Airways and other bodies with a view to forming a Hongkong public company.\n\nCapt. W.E.F. Jones, who represents the aviation department of Messrs. Arnhold & Co., Ltd., mentioned that his company had gone so far as to file a scheme with the Hongkong Government. Air lines in China had often met with failure on account of the political insecurity of the country although, apart from that factor, the country was the most promising in the world from an aviation point of view.\n\nHe thought the time was very close when air lines must be operated from Hongkong, which he regarded as a base of considerable importance to the chain of Imperial Air Routes which would operate from England. Hongkong was probably the crux of eastern air lines because from here lines could radiate in several directions.\n\nA company so operating would look first of all to China, but in that country profit was still far off.\n\nThe question was \"whether it is possible to operate air lines, with Government assistance, over territory which is Chinese, from termini that are not in Chinese territory?\" Capt. Jones suggested that in his estimates Major Creagh had omitted a number of necessary items which would involve increased capital, but points like those could be considered and adjusted.\n\nAir Lines and Flying Club. Finally, Capt. Jones mentioned, with regard to the comprehensive proposals submitted by Messrs. Arnhold & Co., to the Hongkong Government for operating air lines radiating from Hongkong, and also for operating a Flying Club, that his figures were a little more encouraging than he could have hoped for, but he must still rely upon a Government subsidy.\n\nIn reply to Mr. J. A. Plummer (Chairman of the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce), Major Creagh said that China had not so far entered into agreements with other countries permitting them to fly over her territory.\n\nMr. Ritchie remarked that the subsidy offered by the Hongkong Government was totally inadequate. He suggested that Capt. Jones had formed the same opinion; but Capt. Jones said that, in his remarks, he had not said this.\n\nMr. Ritchie: \"We have satisfied ourselves clearly that it is so.\"\n\nMajor Creagh said that on learning there were two schemes already in the field he withdrew at any suggestion of promoting a third competing company, but he thought that since, before a line could be actually started, either of the two companies would have to go to the public for their capital, the meeting might usefully form itself into a body to speed things up by consulting with established companies and strengthening their appeal to Government by its wider interests.\n\nThe opinion was expressed in several quarters, however, that there would be no advantage in forming a special organisation for such a purpose since the Chamber of Commerce was in a position to judge impartially and already had the necessary strength and representation vis-a-vis the Government. The Chamber of Commerce would not, of course, take sides but it could and should support aviation generally.\n\nMotion Adopted.\n\nThe Hon. Mr. W.E.L. Shenton suggested that the meeting might well pass the following motion:\n\n\"That this meeting approves in principle the establishment of an air line between Hongkong and Hanoi.\"\n\nThis motion was carried unanimously on the proposition of the Hon. Mr. Shenton, seconded by the Hon. Mr. J. J. Paterson.\n\nThe proceedings concluded with an expression of thanks to Major Brasier-Creagh for his interesting and instructive address and to Messrs. Jardine, Matheson and Co. Ltd., for the use of their board room for the meeting.\n\nThe meeting was attended by Mr. J. A. Plummer (Chairman of the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce); the Hon. Mr. W. E. L. Shenton and the Hon. Mr. J. J. Paterson (Members of the Legislative Council); Messrs A.L. Shields, P. S. Cassidy and G. Miskin (Members of the General Committee of the Chamber of Commerce); F. A. Joseph, L. Kadoorie, C. Champkin, F. Stewart Smith, J. H. Ruttonjee, Frank R. Smith, A. Ritchie, R.

Perrin (Manager, Thomas Cook and Son); M. F. Key (Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce); Col. L. G. Bird, D.S.O.\n\nLetters of apology for absence on account of business or bad weather were received from the Hon. Dr. R. H. Kotewall (Member of Council); Mr. F. J. Gellion (Macao Electric Lighting Co.); Major E. P. Howard (U.S.A. Special Aviation Trade Commissioner to China); Messrs. Wallace Harper, Frank Austin, H. R.

        "content_text": "## VENEREAL DISEASES CLINICS\n\n360. Dr. J. A. R. Selby has been in charge of the Venereal Diseases Clinics during the year. Dr. (Miss) Lai and Dr. (Miss) Ruttonjee have assisted at the clinics for women. Mr. Collyer, assistant attendant at the Mental Hospital, has acted as European orderly at the male clinics.\n\n361. All treatment is given free of charge.\n\n362. Clinics are held daily as follows:-\nAt the Government Civil Hospital.\n- Monday and Wednesday... 10 a.m. for Chinese.\n- Tuesday... 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. for Europeans.\n- Thursday... 10 a.m. for Indians.\n- Friday... 10 a.m. for women only.\n\nAt the Kowloon Hospital.\n- On Tuesday afternoons for males and on Friday afternoons for women.\n\n363. The total number of cases treated was 2,881 as compared with 1,966 in 1931.\nThe total number of attendances was 10,733 as compared with 6,393 in 1931.\n\n364. The nationality and sex of those treated at the above clinics were as follows:-\n| Nationality | 1932 Male | 1932 Female | 1931 Male | 1931 Female |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Europeans | 123 | 4 | 138 | 3 |\n| Chinese | 2,158 | 437 | 1,285 | 343 |\n| Indians | 150 | 0 | 185 | 0 |\n| Japanese | 7 | 2 | 11 | 1 |\n| Total | 2,438 | 443 | 1,619 | 347 |\n\n365.

There are at present no beds reserved for female cases and such are badly needed.\n\n370. During the year an ad hoc clinic was in process of erection near the wharves at Kowloon and this should be completed early in 1933.\n\n## Tsan Yuk Hospital V.D. Clinic\n\n371.

        "content_text": "## The Position during 1932\n\n514. During the year medical relief continued to be distributed by the Medical Department, the St. John Ambulance Brigade, and the New Territories Medical Benevolent Society.\n\n515. The Medical Department staff was as follows:\n| Position        | Location      |\n| --------------- | ------------- |\n| 1 European M.O. | Kowloon       |\n| 1 Chinese M.O.  | Tai Po        |\n| 1 Dresser       | Un Long       |\n| 1 Midwife       | Tai Po        |\n| 1 Midwife       | Un Long       |\n| 1 Midwife       | Tsun Wan      |\n| 1 Midwife       | Cheung Chau   |\n\n516. There is a dispensary at Tai Po and another at Un Long in the Northern District. There are no dispensaries in the Southern District.\n\n517. The Government Motor Travelling Dispensary commenced working in June.\n\n518. Early in the year, the Government accepted from Sir Robert and Lady Ho Tung the generous gift of a plot of land near Ko Tung and a sum of $100,000 for the erection and upkeep of a welfare centre.\n\n519. The generous offer of Mr. Ruttonjee to erect a dispensary at Sham Tseng and to hand it over when finished to the Government was also accepted.\n\n520. Recommendations had been made by the D.M.S.S. for the establishment of Government dispensaries at Tsun Wan and Cheung Chau, and provision had been entered for the same in the draft estimates. The provisions were deleted by the Estimates Committee on the ground that the Medical Benevolent Association had opened a dispensary and hospital in Tsun Wan and the St. John Ambulance Brigade a similar institution at Cheung Chau.\n\n521. When the new dispensaries are completed, the Medical Department will have centres situated respectively in the east, north, west, and south sections of the fifty-mile road which circles the main portion of the New Territories mainland. These, with the motor travelling dispensary, should afford a good and sufficient medical service for those parts of the territory which are within walking distances of the road and railway. The provision of a motor dispensary launch next year will give medical relief to the islands and those parts of the mainland coast which are only readily accessible by sea.\n\n## Medical Officers' Visits\n\n522. During the year, the Medical Officer visited all the villages of any size both in the Northern and Southern Districts to investigate the position obtaining in each and to form an opinion as to the need for medical attention. He was struck by the amount of malaria in some sections and its comparative absence in others. It is very prevalent in the hilly districts opposite the middle section of the Fanling Sha-Tau Kok Road and in those south of Un Long.\n\n523. Tai O.-Tai O, a fishing village of 5,000 inhabitants on the extreme north-west of Lantau Island, was visited once a week, where all seeking treatment were treated at the local hall. A village elder was always present to see that the patients followed each other quickly and quietly. On average, 30-40 cases were seen each time. Malaria appears to be absent, but venereal disease is prevalent.\n\n524. Towards the end of the year, a Government midwife was stationed in this village.\n\n525. Sai Kung-As far as possible, weekly visits were paid to Sai Kung, a village on the east coast of the mainland and only easily accessible by sea. The regularity of visits depended on the police launch on which the M.O. was given passage.\n\n526. Cheung Chau.-Cheung Chau was visited once a week, where the M.O. cooperated with the St. John Ambulance Brigade, seeing patients at the dispensary which had been established there by the Brigade. There was an average attendance of 35-40.\n\n## Births and Deaths Registration\n\n527. Early in the year, arrangements were made whereby the Police Stations became the registry offices for Births and Deaths. It was decided to avoid prosecutions at first and to rely on...",

The Tsan Yuk Maternity Hospital of sixty beds has been taken over from the Chinese Dispensaries Committee and is being used as a University teaching hospital.\n\n28. The Violet Peel Health Centre, the first of the Government district Health Centres, was erected in Victoria through the generosity of certain benevolent Chinese. It has accommodation for-\n\n(a) a Maternity and Infant Welfare Centre.\n\n(b) a School Medical Centre.\n\n(c) a Venereal Diseases Clinic.\n\n(d) office accommodation for the School Medical Branch.\n\n(e) office accommodation for the inspector of the Children's Protection Society, a voluntary society assisting in child welfare.\n\n29. A site near the University was purchased for the second district health centre, and the building will be erected as soon as funds are available.\n\n30. A Venereal Diseases Clinic was erected near the docks on the Kowloon side. Sufficient ground has been reserved for further accommodation. It is intended that eventually the existing building will be incorporated in a larger one forming the district health centre for South Kowloon.\n\n31. Through funds donated by Sir Robert and Lady Ho Tung, a model rural health centre was erected near the village of Ko Tung in the northern district of the New Territory. The centre has been called the Lady Ho Tung Health Centre.\n\nThrough funds donated by Mr. Ruttonjee, another model rural centre was erected at Sham Tseng in the southern district of the New Territory. It is called the Ruttonjee Dispensary.\n\n32. Four other rural dispensaries were opened in rented premises.\n\n## The position of the Director of Medical Services with regard to the Urban Council and the Sanitary Department.\n\n33. The position of the Director of Medical Services with regard to the Urban Council and the Sanitary Department is not yet satisfactory. Provision for the emoluments of a Senior Health Officer having been deleted from the estimates, the Director of Medical Services had to perform the duties of that officer in addition to his own. More than a year's trial of the scheme has proved that it cannot possibly be carried out fully without the appointment of a Senior Health Officer or Deputy Director for Health. The Director of Medical Services had to spend so much time at the desk dealing with Urban Council and Sanitary Department minute papers that there was little left for inspections or for superintending the enforcement and observance of the various ordinances relating to the public health as laid down in the Urban Council Ordinance. The Deputy Director of Medical Services, having his whole time occupied with the clinical side, could not assist with the health work. The result was that the Director of Medical Services, even by cutting out all recreation and working during evenings and on week-ends and holidays, could not cope with the situation.\n\n34. The Sanitary Inspectors were not grouped under the Health Officers as laid down in section 6 of the Public Health (Sanitation) Ordinance, but continued to carry on as they had done under the Public Health and Buildings Ordinance of 1903; that is, they remained responsible to the Chairman direct through his Chief Sanitary Inspector and not to the Health Officers as was intended in the scheme. This part of the scheme, probably the most important of all, has failed to mature, and cannot mature until the Director's deputy for health, whose appointment was asked for and approved by the Secretary of State, is added to the staff.\n\n8",

Ruttonjee and his son, Abbas Khan, and Feroz Ali (Superintendent of Mails) with 16 other Indians, were arrested but later released.\n\nThe Indian police also to a very large extent were taken over by the Japanese. In the main they seem to have offered service as the Chinese police, but in outlying districts the Japanese seem to have taken them on as a running concern; e.g., at Stanley Prison the Indian warders continued to perform their duties when the internment camp was being set up and some information from the camp has spoken of their assistance to the internees. In the main, favoured treatment seems to have gone to the heads of the Indians, particularly in the prison, and they are reported as revelling in knocking the Chinese about on the slightest provocation.\n\nThere have, however, recently been reports which came from the Hong Kong Indian women who reached Free China that Indians in Hong Kong have been compelled to register for military service and are now liable to be called on at any moment by the Japanese.\n\nAs regards both the Indian and the Japanese population as a whole, it should be remembered that the Japanese have been using their control of the food rations as a means of keeping them in check.\n\n### 3. Europeans\n\nThere have been a few names of Europeans or Eurasians reported as working with the Japanese. Apart from Dr. Selwyn-Clarke and the medical staff who have been engaged in health work, the chief names mentioned have been:\n\n**Mr. Carroll of Carroll Brothers**, a Eurasian stockbroker whose connections with the Japanese are known from Hong Kong police reports to have dated back long before the declaration of war.\n\n**Von Kobza**, a Hungarian photographer who was given an appointment as official photographer under the Immigration Control Scheme last year, is now reported to be wearing the uniform of a Japanese Colonel.\n\n**Mr. Kennedy Skipton** (Hong Kong Civil Service) has reported to the Secretary of State in a letter smuggled out by an American who was repatriated that he has taken service in a civil capacity under the Japanese administration.\n\n**Mr. A.F. May, P.W.D.** Reported by Mr Kennedy Skipton.\n\n**Mr. Frank Gardner and R.G. Gardner**, proprietors of the firm of Bosco Radio Corporation. These were officers in the Hong Kong R.N.V.R. (Frank was born in Japan and they both had previous business connections with the Japanese in supplying radio transmitting and receiving sets for South China and for the Japanese Consulate in Hong Kong.) Since the surrender they have apparently been employed in the collection of radios and dismantling of short-wave sets prior to their export to Japan, and R.G. has, in addition, taken charge of a restaurant for Japanese officers in Cumberland Road, Kowloon.\n\nCo Campino\n\nW BL Mom\n\n1.10.42.\n\nPTO.",

Nigel and Mr. Kwan then took their oaths in the witness stand. Less Technical Language: The Commander-in-Chief then said:- You have now taken the oath. I expect each one of you to live up to the highest traditions of British justice. I hope, however, that you and the advocates that appear before you will bear in mind that the proclamation orders and regulations of a Military Administration are necessarily couched in less technical language than normal civil administration legislation, and that you will construe them with commonsense. \n\nI now formally declare the Standing Military Court open and I propose that we adjourn in order to enable it to commence its business. \n\nThe Commander-in-Chief then left the Court, Brigadier D.M. MacDougall and Col. Strickland accompanying him to his car. \n\nThose Present: Among the solicitors present at the ceremony were Messrs. Hin-shing Lo, M.K. Lo, M.W. Lo, F.H. Loseby, Peter H. Sin, A.

In accordance with its provisions, relief is given from the Fund to various categories of persons who have been bereaved during the battle of Hong Kong and the period of its occupation by the Japanese. The following Report on the administration of this Fund for the year 1948 is issued in accordance with the provisions of this Ordinance.\n\n2. The Committee appointed by H.E. the Governor in April, 1947 remains substantially the same in personnel but certain members were absent for part of the period under review. The Chairman went on leave to the United Kingdom in July and has only recently returned, necessitating some delay in the publication of this Report. During his absence Dr. the Hon. S. X. Chau was gazetted Chairman and while he was away at intervals from the Colony, Mr. Ngan Shing Kwan deputised.\n\nThe Honourable A. Morse was likewise absent for some months, his position on the Committee being taken by Mr. A. S. Adamson.\n\nIn April the Honourable R. D. Gillespie left the Colony on transfer, his place being taken by Mr. D. H. Blake.\n\nBy the retirement of Mr. B. Wylie, owing to failing health, the Committee lost one of its most valued members. His deep knowledge of the Colony's affairs, which he was ever ready to place at our disposal, was of the greatest assistance. Mr. F. P. Franklin was appointed to take his place.\n\nMr. J. H. Ruttonjee was absent for some months and the Committee was pleased to welcome him back in November after his world tour.\n\nMiss Shin Tak Hing returned from her visit to the United States of America in August. Mrs. Li Shu Pui having ably deputised for her during her absence.",

Williams | Chairman |\n| Hon. A. Morse, C.B.E. |  |\n| Dr. the Hon. S. N. Chau |  |\n| Mr. Ngan Shing Kwan |  |\n| Rev.

Rodrigues, M.B.E. |  |\n| Mr. J. C. McDouall |  |\n| Mr. F. P. Franklin |  |\n| Mr. D. H. Blake |  |\n\n## 3. Meetings of the Committee \nMeetings of the Committee were held fortnightly throughout most of the year on the first and third Tuesday of the month. As the number of new applications for relief steadily diminished, and as the work of administration became more simplified, it was decided in September that one meeting a month would suffice. Altogether 23 meetings were held during the year and urgent matters were dealt with by circulation to members.\n\n## 4. New Applications \nNew applications are now few. When one is received, careful investigation is made by the Committee's staff of the circumstances of the applicant, of the particulars submitted, and of his or her eligibility to receive help under the Ordinance. This information is then passed to one of a number of sub-Committees whose opinions and recommendations are laid before a meeting of the Committee when a final decision is reached.\n\n## 5. Allowances to Approved Cases \nAllowances to approved cases are usually made subject to revision at six-monthly periods, before the expiration of which the beneficiaries, if resident here, are interviewed, with the object of recommending to the Committee either continuance without change or alteration in view of changed circumstances. The Committee then discusses and decides.\n\n## SECTION 2: FINANCE\nThe balance of the Fund at 31st December, 1948, was $3,503,428.17. The audited statement of receipts and payments to that date is shown in `Appendix \"A\"`.\n\n### 2. Schedules \nThe First Schedule includes those who were members of various Volunteer, Military, and Civil Defence Services. The Second Schedule includes those who suffered at the hands of the Japanese during the enemy occupation of Hong Kong.\n\n### 3. Grants and Allowances \nGrants and allowances to beneficiaries amounted to $245,633.00; it will be noted that this represents almost double the Fund's income from all sources during 1948.\n\n### 4. Subscriptions \nSince Government withdrew its dollar-for-dollar contribution to the Fund, there has been a serious falling off in subscriptions from the public—$28,816.30 for the whole year. The obvious loss of public interest in the Fund's objectives is understandable as memories of the War grow dimmer and fresh calls for relief in other directions are made. It is, however, regretted that such a deserving cause does not receive greater support.\n\n### 5. Flag Day \nThe Committee was disappointed in failing to secure a Flag Day for 1949 with the consequent loss of revenue from collections.\n\n### 6. Income from Investments \nThe income from the Fund's investment referred to in `Appendix \"A\"` is $94,500.00.\n\n## SECTION 3: STAFF & ACCOMMODATION\nMr. I. M. Lightbody of the Secretariat for Chinese Affairs continues to be the Committee's Secretary and supervises the working of the staff consisting of one European Assistant and one senior Chinese clerk seconded from the Secretariat for Chinese Affairs. One Chinese messenger completes the office personnel, the cost of which, together with equipment, supplies, and maintenance, is covered by a Government vote.\n\n### 2. Office Accommodation \nThe office is situated in the old Urban Council Building, Statue Square, a site which has proved most convenient both from the standpoint of administration and payment to recipients.\n\n### 3. Payment Method \nFrom the month of July, the cheque system of disbursement was abandoned in favour of cash payments to beneficiaries, and this has proved a welcome change for them and a saving in time and labour. Payments are made on the first Monday of every month upon approved schedules supplied by the Honorary Treasurers.",

C. McDouall returned to the Colony early in September and took his place on the Committee. Rev. George She, who has been in England for some time, has recently returned.\n\n4. On the 16th May, on the eve of his departure from the Colony, Sir Mark Young broadcast an appeal for support to the Fund which was then about to be established. The appeal was made by the Committee at the end of May, circular letters being addressed to various persons and firms in the Colony.",

It was generally agreed that the situation was appreciated by the Secretary of State and that it would be preferable to wait until the autumn if by so doing the services of Sir Patrick Abercrombie could be secured.\n\n(b) **Progress Reports**\nTwo had been despatched since the last meeting giving a summary of the position up to date. Here the Chairman made mention of a minute from the Honourable C. S. to His Excellency, referring to these progress reports, in which it was mentioned that a general report would be submitted by the Chairman by the end of the month. While the Chairman did not feel optimistic that it would be possible to submit a report covering the ten-year period, he felt it might be possible to give an indication of the main results so far achieved.",

        "content_text": "## (o) Education Sub-Committee\n\nAn interim report submitted by this Sub-Committee was circulated to members for consideration at a later date. The amended terms of reference to include cultural facilities were read and accepted. The names of members invited to serve (Mr. W. N. Tam, Dr. J. P. Fehily, and Mr. George White) were also read, and on the recommendation of the Director of Education, approval was given that a lady should be co-opted to this Sub-committee if someone suitable could be found.\n\n## (d) New Territories Development Sub-Committee\n\nMr. Barrow reported that five meetings had been held and that the personnel remained unchanged.\n\n## 4. PUBLIC HEALTH SUB-COMMITTEE'S FINAL REPORT\n\nThe Honourable D. M. S. in presenting his report asked that he might be allowed to amplify a few points on behalf of his committee. His fellow members felt that Housing is an extremely important matter in any development scheme in Hong Kong, so much so that this had been emphasised in the report even to the extent of encroaching on the grounds of the Housing & Town Planning Sub-Committee.\n\nThe provision by Government of a Tuberculosis Sanatorium has been placed low down on the priority list on the assumption that the Hong Kong Anti-Tuberculosis Association will raise funds from the local community and so save Government capital expenditure, provided that suitable sites are made available free or at a nominal cost by Government. Enquiries have already been made concerning two sites.\n\nThe Honourable Dr. S. N. Chau, Chairman of the Association, supported the Honourable D. M. S. and stressed the fact that a sanatorium is very much needed here. Mr. Dhun Ruttonjee, Treasurer of the Association, emphasised the fundamental importance of a suitable site being made available and thus freeing the Association funds for capital expenditure; he hoped that it would be possible to raise about 1 1⁄2 million for this purpose.\n\nThe Chairman promised to clarify this point in his report that is being prepared for the Secretary of State.\n\nOne other point in connection with Housing was made by the D. M. S. He said that it might be possible to obtain funds from a source other than the C.D. & W. fund, namely, the Lord Mayor's Fund. Contributions were made to this specifically for sufferers from air raids in the Far East, and he felt that a proportion might be appropriately used for the re-housing of persons who had their houses destroyed by air raids and shellfire during the war.\n\nThe Chairman asked whether the Honourable D. M. S. had any particular areas in mind, and he mentioned Hunghom, which had been destroyed by American bombing, and Kennedy Town area, which had been destroyed during the original bombardment of the colony by the Japanese. He added that his committee felt that two model ...\n\nPage 15",

Paterson, Wing Commander S.E. Faber, Dr. A.M. Rodrigues and Mr. I.N. Chau and to the \"Report of the Technical Committee for the Reorganization and Improvement of Existing Official Hospital and Clinical Facilities of the Colony of Hong Kong, 1938-1939\". Certain of these contributions are appended.\n\n6. **FINDINGS**\n\nWhile we are fully aware that a Housing and Town Planning Subcommittee was appointed to consider the housing problem, inter alia, we feel that the question is of such fundamental importance from the public health standpoint that we may be forgiven for what otherwise might be regarded as trespassing upon the territory of our colleagues.",

Suffice to say, that it is our fervent hope that the report may serve as a guide to what we sincerely believe to be the medical and health requirements which will have to be met if Hong Kong is to earn the right to its claim to be the \"Jewel of the Pacific\".\n\nSigned by Members :- \n\n| Name | Title/Honours |\n| --- | --- |\n| Hon.

PRIDIE ON HIS VISIT TO HONG KONG.\n\n1.\n\n2.\n\n3.\n\n4.\n\n5.\n\n6.\n\n7.\n\n8.\n\n9.\n\n10.\n\nI was much impressed by the medical and health services of Hong Kong and consider that they are among the best in the British Colonial Empire. The high morale and excellent personal relationships among staff reflects great credit on all concerned.\n\nThe Queen Mary Hospital is one of the finest hospitals I have ever visited and is magnificently sited. The fact that it is a teaching hospital ensures the highest possible standards and it is adequately staffed with doctors and nursing sisters. It is very well-planned and is efficiently run.\n\nThe Ruttonjee Tuberculosis Sanatorium, with its fine new clinic, is a magnificent voluntary effort and must have given a most useful stimulus to anti-tuberculous work in Hong Kong after the war. Excellent work under less pleasant surroundings is being done at the Macourt Road Clinic and the new Tuberculosis dispensary in Kowloon is first class. The new X-ray lorries presented by UNICEF should be a useful addition to the anti-tuberculosis organization. Tuberculosis is being more thoroughly dealt with in Hong Kong than in most Colonial Territories.\n\nVenereal Diseases are being tackled in a thorough and systematic manner and I was impressed by the amount of work being done in the venereal diseases centres.\n\nThe organization of the Child Welfare Centres and training of staff is excellent.\n\nThe Lai Chi Kok hospital with 200 beds for tuberculosis, 200 beds for clinical cases from other hospitals and 80 beds for infectious diseases serves a most useful purpose.\n\nKowloon Hospital: The amount of work done in the out-patients department of this hospital, as well as in other out-patient departments particularly the Polyclinics in the city, is almost bewildering and it is impressive to see the long queues of out-patients, each paying a dollar if he can afford it, waiting for attention. The out-patient department of Kowloon hospital has 400,000 attendances a year. Kowloon hospital has 200 beds at present, but an extension of 70 beds is nearly completed. It has a fine maternity block. The usual specialist facilities are provided in this hospital.\n\nPort Health Work: This is well organized and efficient.\n\nThe Tung Wah Charitable Hospital: This long-established charitable institution does very fine work. The hospital admits every kind of patient without discrimination and has a great name throughout the territory.\n\nIt was a pleasure to have an opportunity of visiting it and meeting the Chinese Authorities responsible. It was overcrowded as might be expected, but had a happy cheerful atmosphere.\n\nHousing: The sudden influx since the war, which has trebled the population of Hong Kong, has created an appalling housing problem both by gross over-crowding of existing houses and by squatters in shanty towns on the hill sides. It is to the great credit of the health authorities that they have managed to maintain public health under such very adverse conditions, but",
