In justifying that propo- pretended to make an exact report of the contents of those sal I did much more than refer to the danger of employ- books and papers to the Governor in Council, and making ing Mr Caldwell, and I expressed myself so plainly with regard to his connection with Ma-chow Wong, that I re- ceived the same day, or the next, a reply from Dr Bridges requesting me to mind my own business, and reminding me that I had more than once incurred Sir John Bowring's displeasure for using strong language. There was at least one other letter written, I think in March, but relating to the Pawnbroker's case, which contained, and was meant to contain, a strong remonstrance, with or without mention- ing Mr Caldwell's name, against the line taken on Mr Cald- well's understood recommendation in the previous month of October in restoring the Pirate's wealth to his piratical family. Every one of those letters were laid before the Caldwell Commission in June or July last by Dr Bridges himself, and I cannot understand his having forgotten two of them. Furthermore, in the debates on the Opium Farm Ordinance, and on, I think, earlier occasions in the Legislative Council, my references to Mr Caldwell's unfit- always expressed to me, and to which Mr Dixson, himself, ness for trust had been frequent and notorious. I had repeatedly pressed Mr Wade, the Chinese Secretary, to let me know what he found in the Ma-chow Wong papers, and particularly whether they supported the 2 memo. I used the strongest language to him, the Chinese Secretary, to express my convictions as to Mr Caldwell. I had told Mr Inglis, who was in daily communication with the Colonial Secretary, in the course of the winter that I should require very strong corroborative evidence in favour of any case got up by Mr Caldwell before I would find the Bill. Mr Inglis admitted as much in his evidence before the Commission. Finally, I had, on at least one oc- casion in the Colonial Secretary's room, and before the end of March, openly told Dr Bridges that I could not understand how the Government could entrust such a man as Mr Caldwell with anything. Having till then be-\n\na report which omitted all reference to every item which those books and papers contained of the piratical, treasonable and felonious actings and dealings of that convict I declare, upon my oath, I as have declared when not upon oath, that during the period to which I can speak of my own knowledge, namely from March 1856 to end of July 1857, I only knew two persons in the Colony who had shewn any spirit of zeal to bring Mah-chou Wong and his confederates to justice. Those two persons were Mr Dixon, who promoted and incited me to the enquiry almost taunted me to it, in fact, and myself, so persuaded by Mr Dixon. Mr May, down to the end of July 186 appeared to me to be cold, if not indifferent, and I even remonstrated with him for his supposed coldness, at the trial of Eli Boggs, when, for the first time I learned from him that he entertained precisely the same opinion of Mr Caldwell and Ma-chow Wong, which Mr Dixson, had\n\nhas more solemnly adhered in his evidence of the second day of the Caldwell enquiry.

I did it as nearly as possible in the words which appear at page 32 of the printed minutes and which are as follows.—“I cannot un- derstand how, after my repeated and solemn references to the danger of employing Mr Caldwell in any matter of State or Police, of which my official correspondence with the Executive Government subsequently to the proceedings in the Executive Council furnish some of instances, His Excellency or any member of his Government would ven- ture upon the destruction of a single portion, much less the whole of what I must pronounce to be the damning proofs of his guilt.

I find that on the 9th June, Mr the Ma-chow Wong papers still in his hands, was directed May had suggested to the Chairman the production of to destroy them. Not a syllable of this transpired until those papers, and a slip of paper was sent out to Dr Brid- subsequent to Mr May's examination before the Commis- ges's Room by the Chairman. I remember Mr Jozé D'sion. In this case I had made myself Inquiries of Mr D'Al- Almada coming in and reporting in an under tone that neither those papers nor the two men which Mr May had also asked for were to be found. Mr D'Almada came up to me and repeated the statement, and I laughed at it, and said every body knew they were in Mr Wade's hands down to the time of his sailing to the North. Mr D'Alma- da then went back to Dr Bridges's room and returned and said they were very likely in Mr Wade's hands still. This made me go up to the chair as soon as the examination they were on was finished, and I stated to the Commission that that was impossible, as Mr Wade had told me he had done with the papers before he left for the North. I sug gested that if their loss could be proved, secondary evid- ence might be given of their contents. Nothing was said then of their having been burnt or destroyed. But on the morning of the 17th June having been called to give evi dence I remember a very loud conversation between Mr Cleverly and Sir John Bowring in the Governor's room which it was impossible not to overhear from the end of the Verandah where I was standing. Mr Cleverly came out and said the Governor denied that the papers had\n\nmada who was sent for by the Commission on that occa- sion, and what he told me was that they had disappeared and no one knew what had become of them, It was next suggested that they were probably in the hands of Mr Wade. I then volunteered my evidence to the Commis- sion which shewed that that was impossible, and now, at the last moment, it is suggested that they have been burnt. About an hour afterwards a letter which is not noticed on the minuutes, and to which I presume my observations gave rise, was read aloud from the chair It came from the Chi- nese Secretary's Office and avowed the burning of the pa- pers by order of Dr Bridges—Until I heard that letter read I did not believe the papers had been destroyed.

E. Wodehouse, Esq.\n\n\"The United Services, having won the toss, appeared first at the wickets, and notwithstanding the efforts of Messrs. Darby and Prior, both of whom bowled really well, Mr. Jollye succeeded in putting together 79 by a splendid display of cricket, while Captain Tayler's admirable defences contributed, perhaps, more than anything else to the 'demoralization' of the Hongkong Cricket Club. Mr. de Crespigny and Lieutenant Hammett batted very well for their respective scores, and Mr. Ponsonby showed a very free and cricketing style of play.\n\n\"For the Club, Mr. Pollard went in for his usual steady style, sure to give confidence to any Eleven for whom he may play, while Mr. Mercer's slashing innings was prematurely (such are the chances of cricket) cut short at 16.\"\n\n\"In the second innings of the 'Services,' Lieutenant Parr, (75th Regt.) stole 15 by a number of judicious twos, while Messrs. Parkyn, Ponsonby and de Crespigny backed him up with double figures. In this innings, Mr. Mercer was very destructive, taking five wickets out of the ten.\n\n\"In the Club's second innings, nobody succeeded in reaching double figures but Messrs. Darby (who played like a book,) and Mercer (who began with a six,) and the total only amounted to 55, the 'United Services' remaining victors by 89 runs. In both innings, the bowling of Messrs. de Crespigny and Parkyn was the subject of frequent applause.\n\n\"Tiffin was served under the tents, which His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh honoured by his presence. The match occupied two days; and during the afternoons, the Band of the 75th Regiment played a choice selection of music. The ground was visited by several ladies, amongst whom was Lady MacDonnell, accompanied by His Excellency the Governor.\" The day closed with a Banquet at Government House, and a Reception afterwards by Lady MacDonnell. The grounds were illuminated, and the interest of the occasion was heightened by the Band of the Galatea playing during the course of the evening several pieces composed, and others arranged, by His Royal Highness himself.\n\n(35)\n\nFriday, November 12.-The Duke of Edinburgh is Master of the Trinity House; and, availing themselves of this fact, several Masters of vessels in Hongkong signed an Address to His Royal Highness, which is given in the Appendix, (H.)\n\nThe following account of this circumstance was communicated to the China Mail :----\" On Friday morning last, a number of the Ship Masters in Hongkong went off, by appointment, to Her Majesty's Ship Galatea to pay honour and respect as Seamen to His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh, her Captain, in his official capacity as Master of the Trinity House.

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

The Chinese boys and their parents did not in the least object. The more books are read, the better for the boys, was the verdict of the parents who did not believe that any amount of Christian teaching would pervert their boys from ancestral worship.\n\n## 1851\n\nThe annual grant of $1200 which the Superintendent of British Trade in China used to give to the Morrison Education Society was this year transferred, with the approval of the Foreign Office, to St. Paul's College and thenceforth punctually paid every year until 1868, after which year it was withdrawn. The College had now an average attendance of 30 Chinese students under the tuition of Bishop Smith and the Rev. E. T. R. Moncrieff. But to the original aim of training up a native clergy, there was now added, as a condition connected with the above-mentioned annual grant of $1200, the further aim of training student interpreters, for which purpose the Governor of Hongkong received power annually to nominate six students. The first students so nominated were two European lads, Henry Collins and Robert Collins, who were recommended for the purpose by Mr. Hillier (August, 1851). The College Buildings were completed this year and all the surplus funds invested with Dent & Co. Miss Mitchell's European School continued a precarious existence, attended by 3 boys and 4 girls, but was closed before the end of the year for want of public support.\n\nThe Anglo-Chinese College, under Dr. Legge and Mr. Ho Poi-chi, was attended by 50 Chinese students, serving the purpose of a public school rather than that of a theological seminary as originally intended and costing the London Mission $1776. The Girls School under Mrs. Legge numbered 10 Chinese girls learning English.\n\nThe Roman Catholic Seminary in Queen's Road, under the tuition of Bishop Raimondi and Father Rizzolati, was continued as before, with 14 students, at a cost of $960. The R.C. Portuguese Boys School in Wellington Street, numbering now 30 Portuguese boys, was taught by Mr. J. J. da Silva e Souza and cost $240. At the same time Mrs. J. J. da Silva e Souza taught a Girls School, also in Wellington Street, attended by 12 Portuguese girls, at a cost of $240. The R.C. Chinese School, in which Mr. Cheung Ki-chan taught 28 boys, received the usual Government Grant of $120, but as to the other School, in Taipingshan, where Mr. Hau A-wan taught 18 Chinese boys, there is no information as to whether the cost of the School (stated to have been $120) was paid by the Government or by the Mission.\n\nWith regard to the Government Grant-in-Aid Schools, the Committee (Mr. Hillier and the Bishop's Chaplain) stated (6 April, 1851) that there was (in 1850) an average attendance of 93 scholars in 4 Schools (viz. 30 in Victoria, 18 at Stanley, 20 in Aberdeen and 25 at Wongnaichung) but complained that the attendance was very fluctuating. The Committee informed the Government that all the teachers are professed Christians, receiving their whole pay from Government and, as far as the Committee knew, no compensation from their scholars. The report mentions the following list of books used in the Schools: the Sam-tsze-king, Ts'in-tsze-man, the Confucian Four Books and Five Classics, Medhurst's Sam-tsze-king, Bishop Boone's catechism, and the Bible. The Committee suggested (5 April, 1851) that the School Committee should be remodelled and that to the Bishop of Victoria should be accorded the entire superintendence of the Schools or at least a joint superintendence. But the Government was in no hurry acting upon this suggestion. On 24th December, 1851, the Committee (Mr. Hillier and Mr. Moncrieff) reported that a new School had been opened at Little Hongkong, and that the average attendance in the four Schools was 113 (viz. 28 in Victoria, 20 in Wongnaichung, 24 at Aberdeen, 14 at Stanley and 27 in Little Hongkong). To free the teachers to exert themselves to secure a larger attendance of scholars, the Committee deducted from the salary of each teacher a certain sum for each scholar less than 30, and used the money thus saved for the purchase of Chinese books on Astronomy and Geography. The Committee also hinted that they were weary of the work by expressing a 'regret that they cannot give more effectual supervision to these Schools.' Selections were also made during this year of the most promising boys of these Government Schools and the boys so selected were transferred to St. Paul's College.\n\n## 1852\n\nDuring this year the Protestant Schools of the Colony consisted only of St. Paul's College with 34 students (mostly Chinese but now including a few European boys), and the Anglo-Chinese College with 45 Chinese boys and 10 Chinese girls in Mrs. Legge's School, both together costing the London Mission $1080.\n\nThe Roman Catholic Mission started, in addition to their Seminary under Father Rizzolati which, with its 16 students, cost $960, another Ecclesiastical School at Sookompoo, with 13 Students, under Father Ch. Jaquemin. As the former continued to furnish, from time to time, native priests for the Italian Mission (De Propaganda Fide), so this new Seminary commenced to do the same work for the benefit of the French Missions des Etrangères. The Portuguese Boys School was continued as before by Mr. J. J. da Silva e Souza, teaching 48 boys at an expense to the Mission of $240, whilst his wife continued to teach the Portuguese Girls School numbering 8 girls and costing the Mission the same amount. The Roman Catholic Chinese School, taught by Mr. Cheung Ki-chan, continued to receive the Government Grant of $120 (number of scholars not noted), whilst the other Chinese School in which Mr. Hau A-wan taught 15 boys, cost the Mission $120.\n\nAs to the Government Grant-in-Aid Schools, Mr. Hillier reported at the beginning of the year (30th January, 1852) that Mr. Moncrieff had withdrawn from the Committee (for reasons not stated), that he himself was now the only member of the moribund Committee and he recommended, once more, that the Bishop or Warden of St. Paul's College be appointed Visitor of the Government Schools. Mr. Hillier explained that he could not say whether the Bishop would accept the offer, His Lordship having never spoken to him on the subject, but he argued that, as the Bishop received in aid of the College a Government Grant of $1,200 a year, he would naturally be anxious to render those elementary Government Schools efficient as nurseries from whence promising pupils might be chosen for the higher course of education obtainable at St. Paul's College.\n\nAccordingly the Government requested (March, 1852) Bishop Smith to act as permanent Chairman of the Educational Committee, with Mr. Hillier and Mr. W. B. Medhurst (Chinese Secretary to the Government) as members of the Committee. At the same time, the Bishop's new chaplain, Rev. M. C. Odell, gave his aid to the Committee in visiting the Schools under their charge at irregular intervals. Soon after (20 July, 1852), Bishop Smith as representing the Committee for superintending Government Schools recommended that the Government should build School-houses at a small outlay. The average attendance at the Schools amounted, during this year, to 136 boys (viz. 40 in Victoria, 28 at Wongnaichung, 13 at Stanley, 28 at Little Hongkong, and 27 at Aberdeen). Half-yearly examinations were introduced, partly to test the quality of the teachers' work and partly to ascertain the fittest boys to be drafted into St. Paul's College. Prize distributions were held at the Bishop's residence and eleven boys were transferred during this year from the Government Schools to St. Paul's College.\n\n## 1853\n\nDuring the year 1853, St. Paul's...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-254 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1892 [1-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 356512, "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": "CO129-266 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1895 [1-3]", "page_number": 43, "title": "CO129-266 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1895 [1-3]", "content_text": "# HONGKONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL\n\nA meeting of the Legislative Council was held yesterday. There were present:---\n\n**His Excellency the Governor, Sir WILLIAM ROBINSON, K.C.M.G.**\n\n* Hon. J. H. STEWART LOCKHART, Acting Colonial Secretary,\n* Hon. W. M. GOODMAN, Attorney-General.\n* Hon. N. G. MITCHELL INNES, Colonial Treasurer.\n* Hon. F. A. COOPER, Director of Public Works.\n* Hon. R. M. RUMSEY, Harbour Master.\n* Hon. C. P. CHATER.\n* Hon. Ho KAI.\n* Hon. E. R. BELILIOS, C.M.G.\n* Hon. A. McCON CHIE.\n* Mr. J. G. T. BUCKLE, Acting Clerk of Councils.\n\n## INSANITARY DWELLINGS BILL\n\nThe Council resumed committee on section 12 of the Insanitary Dwellings Bill.\n\nThe **DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS**-Your Excellency, since last meeting, at which the senior unofficial member called the attention of this Council to the serious effect this clause might have on certain properties lying between Queen's Road and the Praya, I have carefully considered the amendments which might be rightly made to meet his objections. There is no doubt the circumstances in this colony are somewhat different from what they are in other places, and the strict enforcement of this clause might cause a considerable sacrifice of property. On referring to the last by-laws passed by the Birmingham Corporation, I find that where the Corporation is satisfied that great loss to property would accrue from the width of the new streets, they have power to impose less rigid restrictions with regard to the width of the street and the height of the buildings. The Birmingham by-law provides that not less than 24 feet shall be left, which is considerably in excess of what is proposed in this section. I would therefore move the following amendment:-the clause to read as follows:-\n\n\"No building shall hereafter be erected of a greater height than in accordance with the following rules:-(a) —In the case of any existing street where the length of such street does not exceed 420 feet, provided always that such street is clear of any obstruction including verandahs and balconies either vertical or lateral throughout its entire length as measured from the main thoroughfares on to which it leads, the height of any building hereafter erected shall not exceed 35 feet where the width of such street on which the principal front of such building abuts does not exceed 15 feet; where the width of such street exceeds 15 feet but does not exceed 20 feet, the height of such building shall not exceed 45 feet. (b.)-In all other cases, the height of a building shall not exceed 25 feet where the width of the street on which the principal front of such building abuts does not exceed 15 feet. Where the width of such street exceeds 15 feet but does not exceed 20 feet, the height of such building shall not exceed 40 feet. Where the width of such street exceeds 20 feet but does not exceed 25 feet, the height of such building shall not exceed 45 feet. Where the width of such street exceeds 25 feet but does not exceed 30 feet, the height of such building shall not exceed 52 feet. Where the width of such street exceeds 30 feet but does not exceed 35 feet, the height of such building shall not exceed 65 feet. Where the width of such street exceeds 35 feet but does not exceed 40 feet, the height of such building shall not exceed 75 feet. No building shall exceed 75 feet in height above the level of the street, without the permission of the Sanitary Board.\"\n\nThen, in order to provide for the improvement of streets as regards height of buildings in any private lane that may hereafter be resumed by the Government, I propose that the following sub-section be added: For the purposes of this section any building hereafter erected so that its principal front abuts on any private street resumed by the Government and widened to the extent of one-half of its existing width shall be deemed to come within the provisions of rule (b).\n\nHon. C. P. CHATER-Your Excellency, I must express my sincere thanks to you, on behalf of myself and the unofficial members, for the kind consideration you have given to this clause. I accept the amendment of the Director of Public Works with a slight rider to the first rule. It would not alter the Bill materially, and I feel sure that if the Government accepted my rider it would not in any way interfere with the objects in view. I therefore propose that the words \"the principal front of such building abuts does not exceed 15 feet\" should be altered to 14 feet. And in the next clause I would suggest that 75 be altered to 76 feet. With these alterations I should be very pleased to second the amendment.\n\nThe **DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS**-I am prepared to accept the alterations.\n\nHon. E. R. BELILIOS-I do not think the Bill provides up to what point a building shall be measured for the purpose of determining the height.\n\nThe **ATTORNEY-GENERAL**-That is provided for at the end of the section :-\" The height of any building shall be measured from the level of the street to the underside of the eaves of such building, at their point of junction with the main walls thereof.\"\n\nThe section was then passed nem. con. The Council resumed and the Bill was read a third time and passed.\n\n**HIS EXCELLENCY**-Gentlemen, this Bill having passed its third reading it only remains for me to thank the Sanitary Board, the Housing Committee, and the unofficial members, and especially the senior unofficial member, for the advice and assistance they have given to the Government in the matter. It is quite true that several of the sections of this Bill have been carried by the official majority; and I am very sorry indeed there was not more unanimity of opinion in regard to these disputed provisions. With reference to section 10, which was referred to very strongly by Dr. Ho Kai-respecting domiciliary visits-I will give my personal guarantee that these domiciliary visits, when necessary, shall be regulated with the very greatest care-(applause)-and if there is any report of undue interference, I will ask the Registrar-General to inquire into the matter and report to me fully in regard to it. (Applause). What the Government feels in regard to this measure is this, that in a colony where the shipping is so enormous and commerce so valuable no possible precaution that may prevent a recurrence of the plague or any other epidemic should be neglected. We hope that this Act will be effective and that its provisions will be cheerfully acquiesced in, to the benefit of the general health of the colony and to the prosperity of the community at large. I now adjourn the Council and will let you know the date of our next meeting. In the meantime I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. (Applause.)\n\nHon. C. P. CHATER-On behalf of the unofficial members of the Legislative Council, I beg to reciprocate the very kind wishes your Excellency has just expressed towards us.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-266 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1895 [1-3].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 359801, "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": "CO129-270 - Public Offices & Others - 1895", "page_number": 572, "title": "CO129-270 - Public Offices & Others - 1895", "content_text": "E.

Ledman who was with his battery (Volunteers), and the Government Medical Staff received and dressed the wounded as the ambulances and chairs arrived; all public chairs being utilized and numbers of private chair-coolies requisitioned. The stream of our own wounded had been trickling down since about 1.30 a.m., quickly filling the Government Civil Hospital, after which the City and Masonic Halls, the Supreme Court House, the floors of the Banks and Clubs, and empty store and auction rooms adjacent, were turned into receiving wards.\n\nThe nursing staff was of course totally inadequate; the few trained nurses from the Government Civil Hospital alone could be depended on by the Doctors operating. The sisters from both convents, Italian and French, did all that was possible for untrained women, rendered hysterical by the ghastly sights of suffering and mutilation surrounding them. The clergy of all denominations worked like men. Wives attended to their husbands, and many a poor widow ministered to the very men who had been instrumental in making her children fatherless. Several ladies who had attended Dr Rivett's ambulance classes proved how capable an instructor he had been.\n\nCrimean experiences were somewhat similar, the coincidence was significant. There was some difficulty at first not only with the coolies but with the contractors and head men, whose stock of tools were required. Mackie, however, whose men (Indian Police) collected them, were supported by 50 of the Asiatic Artillery with a gun, offered them their choice, i.e., to work or hang after one of the principal contractors had been led out under a lamp-post, with a rope round his neck, all difficulties vanished. The gangs had to be guarded, however, both whilst going to the valley and at work. Sentries were posted in suitable spots overlooking the work, with orders to shoot all attempting desertion. The scene in the valley, however, quickly made the coolies and head-men absolutely submissive. They recognised that human life was cheap. Liberal pay was promised them, $1.50 a day each man, and almost the last act of the British Government was the payment of these wages on the spot to the men by Mr Brown, the Colonial Treasurer.\n\nWe had lost three guns, two seven-pounders, and one Maxim destroyed. The nine of the enemy's guns taken were useless to us, the supply of ammunition captured with them being but small, and we had plenty of spare guns - more guns than men to man them--they were therefore burst and the ammunition destroyed.\n\n## FINAL DEFENCE PREPARATIONS--DO OR DIE\n\nAt a hastily convened meeting of the Legislative Council at 7 a.m., Martial law was proclaimed--the expulsion of aliens decided upon, and the enrolment of all British subjects capable of bearing arms between the ages of 17 and 55, as a Home Guard, determined on.\n\nExclusive of the 165 prisoners taken on the beach--the unwounded amongst whom were lodged in Gaol, all offenders against Municipal regulations and debtors being released, -630 wounded Russians were removed with our own wounded under the superintendence of Dr Rivett, P.M.O., and the Army Medical Staff. Dr McBean, R.N., Deputy Inspector General, Surgeons Day and Murston, R.N., and the surgeons of the Corps.\n\nAt one stage of the proceedings the Hon. Member for the Chamber of Agriculture endeavoured to give notice of a question, when he was angrily interrupted by two other members saying, as well as could be understood (for it is needless to say the proceedings were never reported, one reporter, young Rook of the Daily Mail, was on his back in the valley with a bullet in his brain, and the others were with their Corps)--that deeds, not questions were the order of the day--the other that, according to May's Parliamentary Procedure, page 377, notice of questions could not properly be given at an extraordinary meeting. The Governor, however, promptly stopped all squabbling, and in a few manly and statesmanlike words pointed out how unworthy and futile were such puerile bickerings, in face of the treacherous and crushing danger that had burst on the Colony, and that in all human probability they would never again all meet in that Chamber (they never did, old Jones Blackfoot died gloriously in his boots next day at Pokfulum)-that it became all British men, and especially Hon. Members, the heads and leaders of the Colony, to stand shoulder to shoulder and face the common enemy, one and undivided- to die if necessary fighting overwhelmed possibly, but not dishonoured.\n\nThe Europeans from the Peak, Kowloon and outlying districts had come crowding down, across, and into the town, and were housed in the upper floors of the Banks, in the Hotels, Government, Head-Quarter and Bank Houses, the Government offices, the European shops in Queen's Road, and were generally collected about the centre of the town. Women of all creeds crowded the Churches, and on their knees with streaming eyes prayed the old prayer to the God of Battles to shield their dear ones-that this cup might pass from them. All the Police from the outlying districts, except Tsim-tsa-tsui, were recalled.\n\nThe British elected a committee of seven to organize the Home Guard. J. J. Francis (the lawyer) chairman, Geo. Soldwell, Natty Deed, Thos. Jackson (you remember the quaint old Ulsterman, Chief Mate), David Hillies, Tanby, and Mitchell (Secretary)-not that the Secretary did much writing, but in the old days in Hongkong no committee was complete without Mitchell as Secretary. Old Volunteers turned out quickly. The limbs of the law did a lot of riflemen from the Rifle Association and elsewhere. Godfrey Laster, another lawyer and old Volunteer, got together quite a number of gunners. Marshall and Gosborne, both ex-volunteers, took to it kindly, coming in at the head of the staff of their respective offices. As soon as \n\n- 19 - \n\nThe old man fairly roused them, and on his maskee May's Parliamentary Procedure, they gave him a cheer, led heartily by the cantankerous members. The two Chinese members spoke out also in honest, straightforward fashion. They owed all they had to British rule and fairplay; under British rule they had lived, and under British rule, if the time had come, they would die; and they would sway their countrymen right as far as lay in their power. So ended the last Council.\n\nTo every man upon this earth death cometh soon or late.\n\nAnd how can man die better than fighting 'gainst fearful odds,\n\nFor the ashes of his fathers, and the temples of his Gods.\n\nFor the tender mother that dandled him to rest,\n\nAnd for the gentle wife with his baby at her breast.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-288 - Public Offices & Others - 1898.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 460389, "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": "CO129-431 - Governor Sir May - 1916 [1-2]", "page_number": 522, "title": "CO129-431 - Governor Sir May - 1916 [1-2]", "content_text": "92\n\nSheriff, A.

Post representative yesterday, General Huang Mu-sung, Chairman of the Kwangtung Provincial Government, made the following statement regarding the visit to Hongkong: \n\n\"The relations between Great Britain and China have been traditionally friendly and those between Hongkong and Canton are particularly close and important. Two months ago, His Excellency Sir Andrew Caldecott, the Governor, was kind enough to pay a visit to Generalissimo Chiang and ourselves in Canton, thereby further strengthening the bonds of our friendship. Acting on instructions from Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, and the wish of the people that we should return that visit, I, in company with Mayor Tseng Yang-fu, have come to Hongkong.\n\n\"I am most thankful for and deeply impressed by the most cordial and impressive welcome accorded to us by the authorities of Hongkong and by the enthusiasm shown by our nationals here. I am particularly delighted to have had the opportunity of making personal contacts with the high officials of the Hongkong Government as well as leaders of the local community and representatives of the various Chinese public organisations.\n\n\"We are working for the prosperity of both Hongkong and Canton, and we feel quite confident that, after this visit, our friendship and co-operation will be increased and lead to useful results. I earnestly hope that in future we shall meet each other more often and exchange views for achieving progress, and promoting the welfare, of our two cities, and strengthening the ties of friendship between Great Britain and China.”\n\n## CHINESE TIFFIN\n\n### Businessmen Entertain At Hongkong Hotel\n\n#### SPEECHES OF WELCOME\n\nGeneral Huang Mu-sung, Chairman of the Kwangtung Provincial Government, and Mr. Tseng Yang-fu, Mayor of Canton, were the guests of honour at a tiffin in the Hongkong Hotel Roof Garden yesterday, when they were entertained by a group of leading Chinese business men. Other guests included the trade delegation which arrived from Canton yesterday morning.\n\nIn proposing a toast to General Huang and Mr. Tseng, the Hon. Mr. R. H. Kotewall, who spoke in Chinese, said:\n\n\"The visit of His Excellency the Chairman of the Provincial Government of Kwangtung and His Honour the Mayor of Canton has given unbounded pleasure to the whole community of Hongkong. The warmth of their welcome has seldom been equalled. It was but in September last that Governor Sir Andrew Caldecott called on Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek in Canton, when he had the opportunity of meeting many high officials there, and of cementing the friendly relations between Kwangtung and Hongkong. To-day, so soon after that visit, His Excellency the Chairman, General Huang Mu-sung, and His Honour Mayor Tseng Yang-fu honour Hongkong with a visit. This is clear evidence of the harmonious friendship between the Authorities of the two places, and also of the increasingly cordial relations between China and Great Britain.\n\n\"Of the population of Hongkong about 97 per cent. are Chinese. Canton and Hongkong are closely related, geographically, commercially, and even from the point of view of peace and good order. Last night at the banquet at Government House, His Excellency the Chairman very aptly likened Canton and Hongkong to two sisters. I venture to make two other comparisons. Canton is as a mansion, and Hongkong its gateway; Canton is as the human trunk, and Hongkong its throat.\n\n\"Fortunes Linked. A few days ago His Honour the Mayor, speaking at a meeting of the Rotary Club in Canton, said somewhat to the effect that if Canton prospered, Hongkong would also prosper; if Canton suffered, Hongkong would also suffer; that, in short, the two places are interdependent. There can be no doubt that Canton and Hongkong share their prosperity and adversity, and are intimately responsive to each other in ebb and in flow.\n\n\"A few days ago, when I went up to Canton to attend the State funeral of the late Mr. Hu Han-min, I was overwhelmed by the unbounded hospitality of His Excellency the Chairman and of His Honour the Mayor. Though the conversations I had with them were short, they were not too short to enable me to realise that they had already gained thorough knowledge of local conditions. Now, they have come personally to Hongkong, and are seeing for themselves the conditions of the Chinese in particular, and of the Colony in general. Their knowledge will thus be enhanced, for 'to see with the eye is better than to hear with the ear,' just as one personal contact is better than a hundred letters.\n\n\"Both the Chairman and the Mayor love the people, and are assiduous in their efforts for their welfare. Since the assumption of their high offices, they have introduced what is modern, and abolished what is obsolete. They have upheld law and order, and they know the needs and heed the aspirations of the people.\n\n\"Hongkong happily also has as its Governor Sir Andrew Caldecott who has understanding and sympathy, vision and ability. Thus, like 'the echoing sound or the responding spirit', friendly co-operation will, of a certainty, be forthcoming, to the benefit of the two places.\n\n\"Able Assistants. Moreover, all those who have accompanied the Chairman and the Mayor on this visit are men of outstanding ability. Among the officials there are, for instance, Dr. Tyau, Colonel Li Fong, General Wong Keung, and Colonel Chang Yuan-man. Among the commercial party there are, among others too numerous to name, Mr. Ho Chap-ping and Mr. Chau Tin-pong who, with their colleagues, form a distinguished party. Our pleasure has been enhanced by the presence of His Majesty's Consul-General in Canton, Mr. Herbert Phillips, and of other prominent citizens of the Colony, official and unofficial, British and Chinese.\n\n\"Last night at Government House, His Excellency the Chairman quoted this happy saying: 'To befriend the one's good neighbour, and to co-operate with him, is a precious asset of a nation.' This precept is being carried into practice by Canton and Hongkong to-day.\n\n\"My fellow-hosts and I sincerely hope that our distinguished guests will not measure the extent of our respect and admiration for them by the inadequacy of the arrangements which we have made for their welcome and entertainment. We wish them every success in their high endeavours, and we wish Kwangtung peace and prosperity. Gentlemen, I now ask you to raise your glasses and drink with me to the health of His Excellency General Huang Mu-sung and Mr. Tseng Yang-fu.\"\n\nThe toast was responded to by Gen. Huang and Mr. Tseng, who spoke in Cantonese.\n\n#### Gen. Huang's Response\n\nIn coming to Hongkong with the Mayor Mr. Tseng Yang-fu to return the visit of His Excellency Sir Andrew Caldecott, I have been accorded the warmest welcome and I feel I have been greatly honoured. It is almost two years since I last visited Hongkong. On coming here again this time, I am glad to see with my own eyes the progress in trade and industry, the prosperity of the market, and the bright and harmonious views from every aspect. The economic depression has affected world trade generally, but Hongkong is able to stand out against all. You Gentlemen and the Government are to be congratulated for your efforts which have had such satisfactory results.\n\nChina's poverty has been due to two reasons—political instability and want of co-operation between Government and people. Fortunately, the country is now united, law and order are enforced, and...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-559-13 Sir A.
