Deane's action during the late typhoon.\n\nHONGKONG, 5th October, 1874.\n\nTo His Excellency,\n**SIR ARTHUR EDWARD KENNEDY, K.C.M.G., C.B. Governor of Hongkong &c. &c. &c.**\n\nMAY IT PLEASE YOUR EXCELLENCY,\n\nWe, the undersigned inhabitants of Hongkong, humbly beg to lay before your Excellency the following statement.\n\nThat on the night of the 22nd and the morning of the 23rd ultimo, a Typhoon of unprecedented violence did much destruction to life and property in this City and Harbour.\n\nAmong the many casualties of that dreadful night, two of the most remarkable are the wrecks of the steamers Albay and Leonor.\n\nBy the mercy of Providence, and the humane exertions of some private citizens, the crew of the Albay were saved from death, but although the Leonor sank only about fifty yards from the shore, nearly 100 persons perished, and only about 12 were saved from the ship.\n\nBefore the Leonor was wrecked, it was reported at the Central Police Station to the Captain Superintendent of Police, that a number of men had been rescued from the Albay, and that another steamer was coming on shore, but although there were a large number of available men at the Station, the Captain Superintendent refused to allow any of them to go out to render assistance.\n\nAt the time when the Police were thus confined to the barracks, they were also much needed to repress robbers who were plundering shops and warehouses, which had been broken open in various parts of the town and particularly on the Praya.\n\nDuring the height of the storm, a house in the Chinese portion of the City caught fire.\n\nThe circumstance was reported to the Captain Superintendent of Police, who not only refused to send any assistance, but declined to allow the Fire Alarm Bell to be rung, and he also failed to inform the Superintendent and the Assistant Superintendents of the Fire Brigade, Messrs. C. May and J. Russell, that a fire had broken out, though it was his duty to do so at once.\n\nFortunately, Mr. C. V. Creagh, the other Assistant Superintendent, was present when the report was made, and, aid having been refused, he went alone to the Fire Engine Station and, with the help of a few volunteers, mostly private individuals, after much difficulty, the fire was subdued.\n\nThis colony pays a large sum annually for the maintenance of the Police Force and the Fire Brigade, for the protection of the lives and property of its Citizens, and it is grievously disappointing to find that, in an emergency, when lives were being lost by thousands in the Harbour and the whole City was threatened with a conflagration, the Chief of the Police not only was inactive himself, but withheld others from rendering that assistance which they were able and willing to give.\n\nHad timely aid been given, it is very possible that many of those who perished in the Leonor might have been saved, and valuable assistance might have been given in other quarters; and this inference is strengthened by what took place at the various outlying Police Stations both on this island and at Kowloong, where the detachments, not being checked from exertion, behaved in a manner which merits the gratitude and praise of the whole community. The names of Inspectors Burns, Grimes, and Youngson have come prominently forward among those who were most active in saving life.\n\nThe conduct of the Police at the Out-stations thus affords a gratifying proof of the willingness of the men to do their duty nobly, where they were not restricted by the orders of their chief.\n\nOur confidence in the discretion and wisdom with which the Police Force is directed has thus been seriously shaken, and we therefore pray that, in view of the circumstances herein set forth, Your Excellency will be pleased to institute a Public Inquiry into these matters, that the truth may be more fully known.\n\nWe have the honor to be Your Excellency's most obedient humble Servants,\n\nSigned by:- Jas.

BOWETT.\n\nCOLONIAL SECRETARY'S OFFICE,\nHongkong, 13th October, 1874.\n\nSIR, --I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 8th Inst., and to acquaint you in reply that the allegations contained in the Petition which accompanied it have been the subject of careful investigation by His Excellency the Governor, who has failed to discover sufficient grounds to justify the institution of a public enquiry into the conduct of the Captain Superintendent of Police.\n\nI have also the honor to inform you that, whilst deeply regretting that any portion of the community should have had their confidence in the direction of the Police Force shaken, His Excellency feels it incumbent upon him to state that at no time in the history of the Colony has the character and efficiency of the Police stood higher.\n\nI have the honor to be, Sir,\nYour most obedient Servant,\nJ. GARDINER AUSTIN,\nColonial Secretary.\n\n## Editorial from The Hongkong Times\n\nTHE HONGKONG TIMES,\nOctober 1st, 1874.\n\nIN THE MATTER OF CAPTAIN DEANE.\n\nWE ARE extremely gratified at being able to place before our readers the official correspondence that has taken place with reference to Captain Deane's conduct during the late typhoon. By those letters, we are enabled to grasp the subject in all its bearings; for our own part, we are exactly of the same opinion now as we were before we knew anything whatever of the correspondence going on. We disagree from the ideas of the Honourable Mr. Rowett altogether, but we do not fail to thoroughly appreciate that gentleman's motives in undertaking to try and rectify what he thought was wrong. We do not consider Captain Deane to be impeccable; and, at different times, we have raised a voice against both his action and his inaction when we thought he merited a little censure, but, in this instance, we consider him free of fault and we certainly intend to uphold his behaviour against which the Honble. Mr. Rowett and some others of the Colonists complain.\n\nThat unfortunate fire business has, however, yet to be explained. There is a vast deal of difference between trying to oppose a typhoon and attempting to put out a fire, and unless Captain Deane can give good reasons for not assisting at the conflagration, it will become the painful duty of the Governor to take him to task on this score.\n\n## Correspondence between Hon. R. Rowett and Hon. J. G. Austin\n\nTHE HON. R. ROWETT TO HON. J. G. AUSTIN,\n\nHong Kong, 23rd September, 1874.\n\nMY DEAR MR. AUSTIN,—Permit me to bring the following circumstances to your consideration in connection with the typhoon of last night.\n\nAt a little before one o'clock this morning, the steamer `Albay`, from Manila, came ashore on the Praya, inside Douglas Lapraik & Co.'s wharf, and just opposite my office. The typhoon was at its worst at the time. Loud cries were heard coming from the ship, when lights were displayed and a rope was thrown on board.\n\nThe Captain, officers, crew and passengers, to the number of 40 in all, were thus enabled to get on shore, and were placed for shelter in the Engine House of the Hongkong Fire Insurance Company. The Captain stated that when he arrived in port last evening, there were 400 persons, all told, on board his vessel.\n\nThese facts were reported at the Central Police Station, by Mr. A. P. McEwen, at about 1.30 a.m., and a statement was taken down in writing, by Captain Superintendent Deane, who, instead of sending assistance to the shipwrecked men refused to allow any of the Police to turn out, on the ground of its being dangerous for them to leave their quarters in such weather; and this, notwithstanding the fact of which he was also informed by Mr. McEwen, viz., that another steamer was coming on shore at the time he left the Praya.\n\nMr. McEwen then returned to the scene of the wreck, and, together with Lieutenant Prior of H.M. 80th Regiment, and Mr. G. W. Baird, once more went to the Police Station, with 30 of the shipwrecked men, the Captain of the `Albay` and his three officers remaining at the engine house. The men, who were all natives of Manila or Malays, except two European passengers, were then taken care of by the police for the night.\n\nMy object in drawing your attention to these facts is to enquire whether you do not consider that it is the duty of the police to be alert in moments of great public danger, and whether it would not have been more in accordance with the object the Government have in maintaining such a force, that they should have been sent wherever their aid might have been needed to save life or property, than that they should have been kept in barracks, while private individuals were able and willing to assist their suffering fellow creatures at some risk to their own lives?\n\nBelieve me, Yours faithfully,\nR. ROWETT.\n\nCAPT. SUPERINTENDENT DEANE TO HON. J. G. AUSTIN.\n\nVictoria, Hongkong, 24th September, 1874.\n\nIMMEDIATE.\n\nSIR, In reply to H.E. the Governor's minute on C.S.O. No. 2799, I have the honor to report that I did refuse to risk the lives of the Police under my command by ordering them to leave the Barracks in the height of a typhoon at 1 a.m. on the 23rd instant.\n\nMr. Rowett entirely overlooks the fact that the danger did not so much arise to persons living on the Praya going outside their doors to render aid, as to a body of men taken through the streets of the city, when, in the words of a local newspaper, \"the atmosphere was principally composed of tiles, brickbats, jalousies, verandah-beams and foliage.\"\n\nAt 2.30 a.m., however, when the barometer showed that the heaviest blasts of wind had passed, I did turn out the men, and we went over all parts of the town: in some places over our waists in water, and experiencing the greatest difficulty in passing along the roads.\n\nI have further to observe that at least 36 of the crew of the `Albay` had been already saved when the report was made, and that the danger of a second steamer was a mere conjecture.\n\nPage 335", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-168 - Sir Kennedy - 1874 [9-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 294873, "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": "CO129-169 - Others - 1874", "page_number": 97, "title": "CO129-169 - Others - 1874", "content_text": "# JOURNAL OFFICIEL DE LA RÉPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE\n\npour faire face à l'excédant de dépense de 8,370 francs ci-dessus indiqué, il est indispensable de recourir à l'ouverture d'un crédit supplémentaire de pareille somme, au titre du chapitre ter du budget de l'exercice 1873,\n\nEn conséquence, la commission du budget a l'honneur de proposer à l'Assemblée nationale, l'adoption du projet de loi suivant :\n\n## PROJET DE LOI\n\n**Art. 1.** Il est alloué au ministre de l'intérieur, pour les dépenses ordinaires du gouvernement général civil de l'Algérie, sur l'exercice 1873, au delà des crédits ouverts par la loi du 26 décembre 1872, un crédit de huit mille trois cent soixante-dix francs, applicables au chapitre 1er (Administration centrale. - Personnel).\n\n**Art. 2.** Il sera pourvu à cette dépense au moyen des ressources générales du budget de 1873.\n\n## RAPPORT\n\nfait au ministre de la marine et des colonies et au ministre de l'instruction publique, des cultes et des beaux-arts, par M.

Malheureusement, de plus de quatre cents frontons remarquablement sculptés qui surmontaient les portes, il n'en est pas demeuré dix debout, et pas un seul n'est intact.

There were present Admiral Cotte, Sir John Smale, the Hon. E. L. O'Malley, the Hon. Ph. Ryrie, the Hon. Ng Choy, Dr. O'Brien, Messrs. F. D. Sassoon, E. R. Belilios, J. Loureiro, A. Coxon, H. M. Mehta, with Mr. Jackson as Hon. Treasurer, and Mr. Starkey as Hon. Secretary of the Committee. Mr. C. P. Chater, Mr. Mody, and one or two others were added to the Committee, and some Portuguese and Chinese gentlemen were elected as Sub-Committees for the purpose of working the subscription lists among their respective countrymen. Mr. Sassoon and Mr. Belilios having each added $500 to the sum already collected, the Committee was able to send at once £1,000 as their first contribution to the Duchess of Marlborough's Fund. This sum has accordingly been transferred by the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank by telegram to the Bank of Ireland and was, on the 12th instant, paid to the order of the Duchess's Committee.\n\nThe Government House Committee of the Irish Famine Fund met again on the 17th inst. There were present His Excellency the Governor, as Chairman; the Chief Justice, Sir John Smale; the Attorney General, the Hon. E. L. O'Malley; the Hon. P. Ryrie, the Hon. Ng Choy, Messrs. Belilios, Sassoon, Chater, Emory, Mehta, and Dr. O'Brien, with the Treasurer, Mr. Jackson, and the Hon. Secretary, Mr. Starkey. The members of the Chinese Sub-Committee were also present, viz., Messrs. Wong Kwan Tong, Chin U Tin, Kwok Acheong, Li Tak Chung, Ch'an Lai K'am, Ch'an Sui Shang, and P'un Wing Chun. The minutes of the previous meeting having been read and confirmed, a report was made as to the present yield of the subscriptions, and a resolution was unanimously passed to the effect that the Governor be requested to telegraph to the Duchess of Marlborough announcing that a second sum of £1,000 would this day be telegraphically transferred to her fund. It was further resolved unanimously that His Excellency be requested to telegraph to the Lord Mayor of Dublin and to transfer to his fund also a sum of £1,000 that day. A letter was then read which the Hon. Secretary and the Hon. Treasurer had addressed to the Duchess of Marlborough's Committee, reporting what had been done so far in this \"drop on the ocean\" for the benefit of the Emerald Isle. The Governor read to the Committee an extract from a communication which had reached him describing a meeting held in the South of Ireland, presided over by the Mayor of Cork, at which it was stated on the authority of one of the members for the city of Cork that the distress was so great that it would require £500,000 to tide over it as far as the month of May. Mr. Emory announced that the officers and men of the United States flagship `Richmond` had raised a subscription contributing more than $300 to the fund. It was accordingly resolved that His Excellency the Governor be requested to send a letter to Admiral Patterson to acknowledge the generous assistance given to the good work the Committee had in hand. The subscription books which the Chinese Sub-Committee had printed, and which are in themselves a curiosity, were shown to the Committee by the Hon. Ng Choy, who mentioned that one of His Excellency's Chinese friends had opened the list with a subscription of $1,000. The Honorary Treasurer announced that about $12,000 had so far been subscribed, including the sum of $2,000 from the Chamber of Commerce, and the sum of $2,500 from the Parsee community.\n\nThe Chinese residents are answering the appeal on behalf of the relief of the distress in Ireland in a most munificent spirit. Up to the present time they have, we understand, collected no less than $13,000 and the subscription is not nearly closed yet.\n\n472 \nApril", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-187 - Governor Hennessy - 1880 [1-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 306282, "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": "CO129-189 - Governor Hennessy - 1880 [7-9]", "page_number": 38, "title": "CO129-189 - Governor Hennessy - 1880 [7-9]", "content_text": "# HONGKONG IRISH DISTRESS FUND COMMITTEE\n\nHis Excellency The Governor\n\nThis is to inform that it is very uncertain that I shall again return to the Colony.\n\nI have to \n(signed) H.

In schools where Portuguese only or English only is taught, there is likewise little danger of over-pressure, except through the imposition of home lessons which too commonly are given and rob children of the amount of rest and sound sleep they need. Some Schools, specially the Victoria College, are great sinners in this respect, as I have known them to punish a naughty boy by giving him 400 or even 500 lines of print to copy out overnight. Another cause of overpressure in Hong Kong is the multiplication of examinations and the introduction of the Oxford and Cambridge Local Examinations has brought in an additional source of danger, applying tests of knowledge to children which are very reasonable in England but are excessive in the case of children who, born and bred in the climate of Hong Kong, have not the physical stamina of children reared in England. But the principal cause of over-pressure is the combination of English and Chinese studies as in the Victoria College.\n\nTwelve years ago I recommended for this reason that the study of Chinese should be made optional throughout the Victoria College.

Mineral products fall into three classes:\n\n(a.) Siliceous rocks, slates, sandstones, granites, earthy lime, limestone, marble, gypsum, dolomite, muds, clay bed, fireclay.\n\n(b.) Placers, metalliferous sands or alluvial deposits, bog iron ore, bog manganese ore, emery, corundum, asbestos, phosphate of lime, baryta, fourspar, skatite, fuller's earth, pyrites, magnesian earth, kieselguhr, meerschaum, peat, and pumice stone.\n\n(c.) All varieties of precious metals, antimony, arsenic, bismuth, chromium, cobalt, iridium, molybdenum, nickel, osimium, platinum, tin, uranium, zinc, petroleum, mineral oil, asphalt, bitumen, anthracite, coal lignite, sulphur.\n\nSalt of all kinds is the sole monopoly of the Government, and is not included in the above classification.\n\n### Section 12. Additional mineral products.\n\nIf any mineral product is not mentioned in section 11, and cannot be easily classified, reference must be made to the Board, who will notify their decision to all provinces for future reference.\n\n## PART VI - Rights over Land\n\n### Section 13. Explanations of terms \"surface\" and \"below the surface.\"\n\nFollowing the provisions of Article 11, all ground containing mineral products shall be divided into two strata:\n\n(a.) The first stratum is called the \"surface,\" of which the depth is limited by the greatest depth attained by the proprietor in his ordinary avocations, such as ploughing, building, and other native industries which have no reference to mining.\n\n(b.) The second stratum is called \"below the surface,\" and comprises everything below the \"surface\" stratum, and has no limit as to depth.\n\n### Section 14. Rights over \"surface\" and \"below the surface.\" Differences between.\n\nSurface rights, apart from the right of the proprietor to enjoy these himself, shall in no case be enjoyed by persons engaged in mining enterprises below the surface. But in areas for which a permit has been issued, and in which the Mining Bureau has authorized the payment of fees, in accordance with these Regulations, all necessary mining operations may be carried on without interference on the part of the land-owner or others.\n\nBy a law common to all nations, all that lies below the surface is Government property. No deposits of precious metals or valuable mineral products can be worked without Government sanction. Land-owners or other private individuals are not entitled to exercise rights over what is below the surface.\n\nThe Chinese Government, actuated by liberal ideas, desires to accord the people generous treatment, and will therefore only take as its preferential share one-half of the net profits on the capital invested in mines below the surface of class (c) (section 11), after deduction of annual rent and pit-mouth taxes, leaving the other half to the land-owner. In other words, the State and the people will each take as share 50 per cent. of the total net profits in order that these advantages may be mutually enjoyed.\n\nNo person engaged in mining who shall have paid fees and entered into a partnership, whether Chinese or foreigners, shall be granted rights over the land itself.\n\nIf the persons interested constitute a Chinese and foreign partnership, they must first ascertain from the proprietor of the required land whether he is willing to come in as a shareholder with his land. If he does not wish to do so, but prefers to accept a money payment for his land, he must report to the General Bureau of Mines, and the Government will buy the land at a fair price and go into partnership with the interested parties as a \"land shareholder.\" If the land-owner does not wish to sell his land, an official inquiry should be held and a method of procedure devised. The persons engaged in the mining enterprise may not use any coercive measure in defiance of public feeling.\n\nIn regard to mines for which official permits have been granted, the persons engaged in mining have only the right to carry on the business of the mine, and may not concern themselves with the surface; neither may officials interfere with the business of the mine in any way not authorized by the Regulations. When the mine has finished working, the surface must be handed back to the Bureau, by whom at the same time the mining permit will be cancelled.\n\n### State Control of Mining Rights.\n\nMines, whether official or private undertakings or Chinese and foreign partnerships, can only be worked after a permit has been issued by the Board. If any subject of China privately sells any mining property to a foreigner, and the Bureau becomes aware of it, the mine will be confiscated and the land-owner will be punished under the law relating to illegal sales.\n\nExcept with the co-operation of Chinese shareholders, no foreign subject shall be allowed under any circumstances whatever to work any mine.\n\n### Section 15. Distinction between money shares and shares consisting of mining land.\n\nAll capital subscribed by Chinese and foreigners to work any mine may be called money shares, and capital subscribed by the Government to eke out any deficiency of funds on the part of a Chinese mining party may be called \"Government money shares.\" In cases where proprietors possess land, but no capital to work a mine, and desire to enter into a mining partnership and apply for a permit to do so, such Chinese proprietors' interest in the undertaking may be called \"land shares,\" or in the event...\n\nPage 356", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-350 - Public Offices - 1908.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 418392, "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": "CO129-354 - Public Offices & Others - 1908", "page_number": 342, "title": "CO129-354 - Public Offices & Others - 1908", "content_text": "DRAFT.\n\nKadakkan pe\n\nMr & Morlaque\n\nLord Elgin\n\nA\n\nMINUTE.\n\nMr. Buske\n\nMr.\n\n16 Jan\n\nVemon. 14%. &\n\nMr. Just.\n\nMr. Antrobus.\n\nMr. Cox.\n\nMr. Lucas.\n\nAnod 9675\n\n1013\n\ndomy (Kwang\n\n08 Polimay.\n\n337\n\n17 January 1908.\n\nAngger\n\ndasised by\n\n... желае\n\nГром\n\nbox of th\n\nenor,\n\nhas\n\nНа\n\nRoom\n\nho\n\nin this\n\ncommery\n\nbeer.\n\nhis dispose\n\nhealth\n\nbell\n\nado\n\nSir F.

In view of the ignorance he has displayed regarding trifling matters entrusted to him I am unable to credit the statement that he was a foreman in charge of alterations and buildings (vide particulars accompanying C. A.'s letter of 11.12.12). He is as plausible as he is unreliable and as ignorant of his duties as he is slack in carrying them out.\n\nMr. Goldsmith and myself went to measure up with him the small amount of work carried out at Wanchai School. The work as carried out was utterly disgraceful. Until I stopped him, he had to ask the Chinese Sub-Contractor what work had been done. When I refused to listen to the Sub-contractor any more, he informed me that though he had as retentive a memory as most men, he couldn't remember all that and didn't intend to try.\n\n(sd.) T. L.

However, the input text is too corrupted to apply these rules effectively.\n\n## Step 4: Format the Text\nSince the text is not coherent, formatting it into standard Markdown or HTML is challenging. The text does not contain recognizable headers, paragraphs, or tables that can be formatted.\n\n## Step 5: Reorder Newspaper Text and Handle Chinese Writing Direction\nThe text does not appear to be from a newspaper or contain Chinese text that needs reordering.\n\n## Step 6: Output in HTML Format\nGiven the corrupted nature of the text and the instruction to output in HTML using `` for paragraphs, the task becomes preserving the original content as closely as possible while adhering to the formatting guidelines.\n\nThe final answer is: \n\nas \n\n€681+ \n\n1 stada istome? sdi co gael grek to ronrevođ eðT \n\n.asinoloD adt \n\n(.AI) aed MS #1.6 Tie ecit10 Istmo Io beviepᢣ) \n\nPEC \n\nRec \n\nC.

May, 1915.\n\nSir,\n\n2. I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Despatch No. 89 of the 3rd. ultimo covering a letter from Sir Ian H. Amory on the subject of the eleemosynary grant made by this Government to the father of the late Police Constable R. Miller.\n\nIn reply, I enclose copy of the evidence given by the skilled and qualified Armourer Sergeant who has the care of the fire-arms both of the Hongkong Police and of the Hongkong Volunteers, at the inquest upon the late R. Miller. It will be observed that there is no mention in the Armourer's evidence of the pistol having been defective eight months prior to the accident, and I am at a loss to understand how Sir Ian Amory received the impression that such a statement had been made since the extract from the local Press enclosed in Sir Ian Amory's letter of the 30th. of September last makes no mention of any defect of such long standing.\n\n3. This Government deeply regrets the accident. But it is advised that it is not legally liable to make compensation, and as regards the moral aspect, I would point to the fact that it takes reasonable precautions to ensure that the pistols used by the Police are kept in good order.\n\n4. I would add that the late Police Constable Miller did not make remittances for the support of his family; that his father is but 50 years of age with a wife and 3 daughters living.\n\nThe Right Honourable \nLewis Harcourt, M.P., \n&c. \n&c. \n&c.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-422 - Governor Sir May - 1915 [5-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 454692, "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": "CO129-423 - Governor Sir May - 1915 [7-8]", "page_number": 85, "title": "CO129-423 - Governor Sir May - 1915 [7-8]", "content_text": "## HONG KONG\n32672 Gov.

Read...\n\nI rather are in vue with the view that it is doubtful whether a colonial law can be applied in anticipation of future Acts of Parliament, the Army Act, but I think it can be so applied in that it assimilates the law to the Army Act.\n\nIt stands to reason that if the Colonial law is to apply, it must be in anticipation of the Army Act.\n\nNo. 191. W.O. 24164\n\nSo I could have referred to time whilst the colonial laws were in force.\n\nPEC 42523. E ST AUG 18\n\n### Enclosure 1.\n\n20th May, 1918, I have the honour to submit for the signification of His Majesty's pleasure the following Ordinance intituled:-\n\n**An Ordinance to provide for the raising of a force the members of which shall be liable to service with His Majesty's Forces outside the Colony during the present war.** No. 9 of 1918.\n\nThe report of the Attorney-General enclosed explains in detail the scope of the Ordinance.\n\nI also enclose the Hansard debates on the bill. The division on the third reading is to be regretted and led to a good deal of unfavourable criticism in the Public Press. I have reason to believe that the nominee of the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce would not have pressed for a division if he had had an opportunity at the time of conferring further with his colleagues on the subject of the amendment which was rejected.\n\n### Tribunal:-\n\nI have appointed the following to the Tribunal:\n\n| Name | \n| --- | \n| The Honourable Mr. E.H.

This would be illegal should it be vested later when it was decided that the Custodian should deal with the whole question of trade marks.\n\n### Relevant Documents and Decisions\n\n| Document/Reference | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| `58139/15` | Interdepartmental Committee Report on liquidation stages, mentioning trade marks and goodwill not being sold. |\n| `16796/16` | Missing paper pointing out difficulties in selling trade marks. |\n| `49848/16` | Memo discussing the issue of trade marks and their potential sale. |\n| `19986/16` | Document referencing the sale of trade marks. |\n| `52283/16` | Document instructing not to vest certain trade marks. |\n\nThe relevant provisions of the Treaty of Peace, specifically Article 306, state that rights of industrial property shall be re-established and restored in favour of the persons entitled to them at the commencement of the war. The Treaty also mentions that each of the Allied or Associated Powers reserves the right to impose limitations, conditions, or restrictions on industrial property rights acquired by German nationals.\n\n### Policy Regarding Trade Marks\n\nThe question arises as to what policy should be adopted regarding trade marks vested in the Custodian. Specifically, (a) what should be done with enemy trade marks vested in the Custodian, and (b) does the current policy require any modification in Hong Kong?\n\n'Copy to Bat. of Trade `(trokostmalé)`", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-456 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1919 [10-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 481104, "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": "CO129-456 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1919 [10-12]", "page_number": 341, "title": "CO129-456 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1919 [10-12]", "content_text": "DRAFT.\n\nnaiwa\n\n12.\n\nSin).

He adduced evidence demonstrating the immense volume of opium seized by the Preventive Service when being smuggled into the Colony from the United Kingdom, India, Saigon, Kwang Chan Wan, and, above all, China; pointed out the practical impossibility, from the geographical position of Hong Kong, of completely suppressing such smuggling; and submitted that as long as outside sources remained open, no further material result could be obtained by way of manipulating the price or output of the Government Monopoly.\n\nWeihaiwei.\n\nThe Commissioner reported that the only opium allowed to be consumed in the Territory was that imported by Government, and issued on payment to such persons and in such quantities as were recommended, for reasons of health, by the Government Medical Officer.

G. Stephen, then Chief Manager of the Bank, personally dealt with it until his departure for England on leave in May 1924. To a very great extent my information on the subject is derived from conversations I had with him.\n\nMr. Stephen gave me to understand that his acquiescence in arranging the finance of the business was due to his conviction that the Merchant Volunteers Organisation was, as its past records show, the principal factor in the maintenance of law & order in Canton, as protector of the Chinese trading community from the illegal exactions of the mercenary Chinese troops with which the City swarmed, so anything that would add to its efficiency was to the interests of the whole peaceful population & the benefit of trade generally.\n\nMr. Stephen, understanding that the project had the cognisance & approval of Dr. Sun himself & the Canton Government, was satisfied that everything was quite regular as far as the Canton Government & the Chinese Maritime Customs, Canton, were concerned, this belief is borne out by his letter, dated 10th October 1923, to Sir James Jamieson, K.C.M.G. His reference in the same letter to the Hong Kong Government, leads me to infer that the matter had been discussed with the Authorities here. At any rate I was assured by Mr. Stephen just before he left here in May, that all the Authorities immediately concerned had been informed & everything was in order.\n\nThe Bank's connection with the shipment of Arms &c. was confined to making arrangements for the negotiation by our Hamburg Office of the documentary bills drawn by Sander Wieler & Co., Hamburg, on their Canton House, through whom our Canton Compradore, Chan Lim Pak, in his capacity as Commandant of the Merchant Volunteers, ordered...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-485 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1924 [8-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 499350, "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": "CO129-487 - Others & Individuals - 1924", "page_number": 459, "title": "CO129-487 - Others & Individuals - 1924", "content_text": "## COVERNMENT HOUSE, \nHỒNG KÔNG. \n\nIt is a little difficult for me to say at present what particular post will be available for you then, though I will certainly remember your anxiety to have as early an intimation as possible.\n\nI am sorry Colonel Amory is a cause of nuisance and others being nuisances in connection with my office, but I hope that you will understand that the position is no doubt that the members of Council do want me to stay here.

The highest range score then was 245 points To-day's highest was 195. Deductions were possible for various faults-straggling on the march, expending more than one hour upon the four miles march, &c.-but as a matter of fact deductions were enforced in only two cases: the march discipline was so good that out of an allowance of 30 points for that feature the majority gained the full number, and the average for all the 20 teams was\n\nClub Discussed. A PIQUANT SCENE.\n\nLondon, May 30. The right of a golfer to refresh himself with alcohol at the \"nineteenth hole\" was discussed before the Royal Commission on Licensing,\n\nof the National Golf Clubs' Protection Association, contended that the existing restrictions as to hours were hard on golfers who might finish a round in non-permitted hours.\n\nHe did not think many golfers claimed entirely to abstain from alcoholic liquor and he thought when a man had taken exercise for two and half or three hours, moderate consumption of alcohol would make him better able to play another round.' A lady member asked if Mr. Holroyd wished to make the implication that people would not play golf if alcoholic refreshment were withdrawn whether applied to women golfers.\n\nMr. Holroyd slowly polished his eye-glasses with a silk handkerchief, but made no reply. Whereupon a male member observed: \"I think he really means it would be a very good thing women did not play golf.\" \"I cannot let that pass,\" exclaimed Mr. Holroyd, \"seeing that the only person who has upheld this country at golf is a woman.\" He was referring to Miss Fishwick's triumph in the Ladies' Championship and the defeat of the British amateur male team in the Walker Cup.\n\nEvidence was also given by representatives of Conservative, Liberal, and Working Men's Clubs, all of whom took objection to the suggestion that the police should be given the right of entry.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-524-1 Reports of Salaries Commission 31-12-1929 - 27-10-1930.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 530002, "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": "CO129-533-13 Salaries- conversion rate of sterling 30-1-1931 - 21-1-1932", "page_number": 209, "title": "CO129-533-13 Salaries- conversion rate of sterling 30-1-1931 - 21-1-1932", "content_text": "## Item 562.
