As to eventually (permanently) retaining Ningpo, it would be a clog to us, even were it prudent to contemplate the measure. The question then is, what is the best course to pursue on evacuating the place?\" A settlement of the Chinese question can only be obtained by the Emperor's acceding to the terms proposed by the British Government; by the overthrow of the present Chinese dynasty; or by the expulsion of the British naval and military force; this latter case no Englishman can contemplate; in viewing the other two, it must be borne in mind that there is as much a pro- spective as an immediate object to be gained, and I think that the spirit of Lord Auckland's very luminous despatch of the 10th of May points out the great im- portance of encouraging a friendly feeling with a view to future commercial intercourse; his Lordship, it is true, applies this principle to the provinces of Canton and Fokien, but I feel confident that, were his Lordship in possession of facts connected with our present position, he would desire to apply it equally to this province, and possibly to the whole of China. The idea of pressing the Chinese Government through the medium of the people, has in my opinion proved fallacious; the whole system of Chinese policy shows that whatever may be the feelings of the Emperor towards his subjects, the Mandarins and all the Government officers are indifferent to their welfare, further than suits their own purposes; and I believe that you would inflict no greater annoyance upon the Chinese Government than by opening the eyes of the people to the fact, that the British character has been foully belied, and that we are not only a brave, but a just and honourable nation. It is therefore, I confess, my most anxious wish not to seize the private property, whether placed in shop, who has remained upon the spot. It must be remembered that Ningpo offered no opposition; that the inhabitants threw themselves on our protection, or pretended to do so; and that a number of Ningpo men have been taken up as traitors to their own country, merely because their townsmen held friendly intercourse with the British. I would, therefore, having now remained six weeks amongst them without the occurrence of a single act of oppression on our part, seek to leave a strong impression of our forbearance, our moderation, and our justice; and I am confident that by our alone seizing or destroying Government property, and taking a duty of 10 per cent, on all imports and exports, except from places in our own possession, that desirable object would be effected. \n\nIn this point of view, it appears to me, that the course above-mentioned would be the most judicious policy; and, considering also the importance laid on the expeditious proceeding to the Peiho next spring, I would suggest the expe- diency of husbanding the troops as well as the naval force this winter as much as possible, to prepare them for the ensuing campaign to the northward. By this time, in all probability, 800 recruits from England have arrived at Hong-Kong, and 1 would therefore beg leave to suggest that the \"Jupiter\" be sent down as soon as practicable, to bring up the 26th regiment from Hong-Kong and Amoy. I will instruct Major-general Burrell to retain the recruits of the 49th and 55th regiments, amounting to 520 men, to replace the wing of the 26th, and to send on the recruits of the 18th (160), with any recovered men belonging to the five companies of that corps at Amoy, to that station, to replace there the detachments of the 26th (150) under Major Johnstone; this will give us by the end of January at farthest, a reinforcement of about 600 well-drilled acclimatized men, which, with the force that I can collect during the winter at Chinhae, will enable us to proceed at the very first change of the monsoon to the entrance of the Gulph of Pechele, and take up some defensible position where the reinforcements from India could join us, on the Shou-tung promontory, say at Tin-tehro-foo, or one of the Minatan Islands, or possibly on one of the islands higher up the Gulph. \n\nMILITARY OPERATIONS IN CHINA. \n\n- No. 22.- \n\nEXTRACT of a LETTER from Rear-Admiral Sir William Parker to Lieutenant- General Sir Hugh Gough, dated 2 December 1841. WHENEVER the troops remove to Chinghae, I propose to place a sufficient Sir William Parker \n\nNo. 22. force of the squadron to support the garrison, and to employ the remainder at to Sir Hugh Goughb, Chusan, or where they may be most required, with a view to the public service, 2 December 1841. and our expected operations next season. \n\nBefore your Excellency's letter reached me, I had made preparatory arrange- ments for despatching the \"Jupiter\" to Hong-Kong to receive the troops from the transports, \"Carnatic,\" \"Earl of Hardwick\" and \"Tartar,\" having been informed by the Plenipotentiary that they will be on heavy demurrage if the men are not removed as soon as they arrive. She will be ready to sail shortly; and I will take care to instruct Mr. Fulton to embark and bring up the men, agreeably to the details you have transmitted, or any alteration you may devise. \n\nI seriously hope that further reinforcements will arrive to enable us to go to the northward as early as possible next year. But I much doubt whether it will be advisable to proceed until the main body is assembled, for reasons which I will explain when I have the pleasure of seeing you. \n\n- No. 23,- \n\nEXTRACT of a DESPATCH from Lord Stanley to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty. \n\nDowning-street, 4 February 1842. \n\nNo. 23. \n\nI ASSUME, that the operations of 1841 will have been limited to the successful Lord Stanley to the attack upon Amoy, the occupation of Kulungsu, and the re-occupation of the Lords Commis Island of Chusan. \n\nsioners of the 4 February 1842. Admiralty, \n\nI assume, that the forces available for 1842 will be an army of 9,000 to 10,000 men, of which there will be five British regiments, amounting to about 4,000 men, and a company of British Artillery, combined with a naval force of three ships of the line, and a fleet, including thirteen or fourteen steamers, of about forty sail. \n\nIt will, of course, be necessary to provide for the maintenance of Hong-Kong, of the Island of Kulungsu, and of Chusan. The remainder of the force, naval and military, will be available for such operations as it may be deemed most advisable to undertake, with a view of producing such an impression on the court of Pekin, as to lead to a speedy compliance with the terms which Sir Henry Pottinger is instructed to require. \n\n-No. 24.- \n\nCOPY of a LETTER from the Right Hon. Lord Ellenborough to Lord Stanley. (Received 5th May.) My Lord, \n\nFort William, 18 March 1842. \n\nNo. 24. IMMEDIATELY after my arrival at this Presidency, I judged it necessary to Lord Ellenborough address letters to the Commander-in-Chief of the land and sea forces of Her to Lord Stanley, Majesty in China, detailing for their Excellencies' information, the extent of the 18 March 1842. military and naval strength to be placed at their disposal for the campaign of the year 1842, and explaining the measures taken by the Government of India for sending further reinforcements of native troops to China. In these letters, copies of which are enclosed, for the information of Her Majesty's Government, I have communicated to the Military and Naval Commanders-in-Chief the manner in which the forces under their command are to be employed. \n\nIt occurred to me as not impossible that no instructions will have been sent from China to Singapore to the address of Lord Saltoun, commanding the rein- forcements on their way from England, to await his Lordship's arrival at that port, and I have therefore addressed a letter to that officer, a copy of which \n\n596. \n\nD 4 \n\nis", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-001 - Sir Hug Cough-s China Military Correspondences - 1841-1843.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 228294, "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": "CO129-028 - Bonham - 1849 [1-3]", "page_number": 22, "title": "CO129-028 - Bonham - 1849 [1-3]", "content_text": "Mr Morale Weit.\n\nC\n\n合\n\n29/3.\n\nqenity of you may fitybuspuist\n\nassrective in o\n\nling Draft which\n\nis going.\n\nto the Treasury\n\nrbout he\n\nÉ.\n\nBrBackword.\n\n8/30/1652\n\n20\n\n1553.

He has fully justified the confidence which we have placed in him.\n\nHis Exc. Mr. Lloyd Bryce said: I wish as a Delegate, also to thank Her Majesty the Queen and the Netherlands Government for the hearty cooperation and assistance they have rendered us in bringing our Conference to the stage of development it has already reached, a stage which leaves no doubt as to the future, and from which there will be no recession, but always advance. To have contributed to this end is a proud distinction for any Government.\n\nPerhaps it may even be permitted me to touch a more personal note. To avoid seeming to detach His Exc. the Minister for Foreign Affairs from his Government let me address him further, and not instead, in his additional capacity of Honorary President of this Conference. I desire to pay a well-deserved tribute to the unfailing kindness and consideration which he has shown to all. Though not presiding in person he has presided in spirit and he has made us feel, while in this beautiful city, so to speak, in the house of our kinsmen, yes with such success that I for one am often inclined to forget whether I am in Washington or in the Hague. Please do not attribute it to any Trans-Atlantic tendencies of a monopolistic nature if my Delegation at least claim him as half its own. His long and distinguished service in our country, in this too and in other lands has fitted him for the role of the ideal International host.\n\nLet me also put myself on record in expressing our sincerest thanks for the patient, considerate, and impartial manner in which the actual President of this Conference His Exc. Mr. CREMER has conducted the business of its sessions. His notable career in both orient and occident not to forget the part he played in the Hudson Fulton celebrations, attended by Delegates from all the world have made him not only personally known but a friend to many here, while all recognise him as an international asset of the greatest value in the good work we are trying to accomplish.\n\nThere has been so much said, and so much well said, on this question of opium however that there seems nothing left to say. Perhaps my colleagues will not regret the admission.\n\nBut the harmony, good feeling and unanimity which have marked our discussions argue well not only for this Conference but for the Great Cause viz—the International settlement of matters in which the world is interested. Concerning one among the many important questions which have already received the stamp of universal approval let me relate a curious little incident: yet in its effect it is big in suggestiveness as to the future of civilization. I approach it with diffidence, because at the first hearing it may almost arouse a smile.\n\nSome little while ago I was instructed by cable from my Government to inform the Government of Luxemburg that on the levees of New Orleans had been found at 3.30 in the afternoon a dead rat examination was proved to have died of bubonic plague. This information was (laughter) which on flashed by telegraph to every civilized Government, in accordance with the International Sanitary Convention, signed at Paris, January 17, 1912. Yes, from one point of view my recital might well arouse a smile, but when you consider the effect of such detailed information imparted simultaneously to the further corners of the world as a warning of danger to come, I can think of no greater tribute to the kind of work the Hague is doing.\n\nMr. Carnegie, has just written me to say that he will be present at the opening of the Peace Palace. To be sure, it will be a long time before wars cease and the Millennium arrives. Just at this moment the peace movement\n\n37\n\nmay seem just a trifle retarded, but I think we can attribute to the influence of the Hague the fact that the war now in the near East has been confined to that quarter, this could hardly have been the case ten or fifteen years ago. Yes, it is my firm conviction the Peace Conferences held here have not been in vain. On the contrary they have created an atmosphere of conciliation throughout the world, which already has sensibly affected the great family of nations.\n\nIn short, the Hague by furthering international cooperation along the line of beneficent legislation is making the world a better, a happier, and a healthier place for human habitation. To this end the Opium Conference closing today has played in my opinion no insignificant part.\n\n(Applause.)\n\nThe President said:\n\nThe complimentary words that you have just heard have greatly touched me and I sincerely thank you for them.\n\nThe reason that our labors have been so agreeable and that you all, Gentlemen, particularly the Editing Committee and their collaborators, have rendered such assiduous cooperation is due, I am sure, to the conviction that our conflict with one of the evils of humanity must be crowned by success, despite the difficulties to be overcome; the conviction that we acknowledge defeat.\n\ncan never\n\nThe First Conference pointed out to us the road to follow, along which we have just taken another step, but it is with regret that we realize that the promised land is, perhaps, still distant.\n\nThis is only because all the Powers who were asked to join us are not represented here. Whatever may be the reasons for this absence, I am more than ever convinced of the truth of the old saying that \"those who are absent are wrong\". Let us all strive, therefore, Gentlemen, and let our Governments join in firm but friendly effort, to persuade those whose absence is so deplored soon to unite with us, so that the structure of which we have laid the foundation and sketched the outline may be completed without delay. In order that this goal may be attained, let us hope that the black war-clouds which now obscure a portion of our European heavens and hamper our peaceful task may soon forever disappear.\n\nGentlemen, before we disperse I deem it our duty as the Minister of France has already proposed to express how greatly we appreciate the hospitality that we have enjoyed during our visit to this city. I therefore beg to discharge a last duty by proposing that the following telegram be addressed to Her Majesty the Queen of the Netherlands on behalf of the Conference:\n\n\"At the termination of their labors, the Delegates of the Powers assembled for the Second International Opium Conference beg to express to Your Majesty their sincere appreciation of the gracious hospitality extended to them by Your Majesty's Government. They beg to tender to Your Majesty their respectful homage and their sincere wishes for a prosperous reign.\"\n\nOne more but no less agreeable task that devolves upon me a task, that has already been partly accomplished by the former speakers — is to express our deep gratitude to our distinguished Honorary President, His Excellency the Minister for Foreign Affairs, who, after opening our Conference with an address, has been so kind as to facilitate our task by lending his valuable assistance.\n\nYou will unite with me, Gentlemen, in expressing our thanks to the Secretariat. Owing to their zeal and to that of the members of the National Printing Office, the documents so necessary during our labors have been prepared in good time and distributed to all.\n\nAnd now, Gentlemen, permit your President, before relinquishing this place to your Honorary President, to thank you cordially for your kind indulgence and to wish you a happy return to your homes.\n\n293\n\n1", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-406 - Public Offices - 1913.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 446333, "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": "CO129-407 - Public Offices & Others - 1913", "page_number": 315, "title": "CO129-407 - Public Offices & Others - 1913", "content_text": "PRISON COMMISSION\n\n10 MAR. 1913\n\nin 21571 13. 309\n\nIt is requested that Dr. Cantlie examine Filton and report whether he is fit to be flogged.\n\nMarch 8. 8. 1913.\n\nAssistant Superintendent of Police, N.

Those resolutions, as you will remember, concerned:-\n\n(1.) The division of each of the existing 20,000 fully paid up shares of $50 each constituting the Company's present capital of $1,000,000 into five fully paid up shares of $10 each so as to make such capital $1,000,000 consisting of 100,000 fully paid up shares of $10 each.\n\n(2.) The subsequent increase of the Company's capital from $1,000,000 consisting as aforesaid to $2,500,000 divided into 250,000 shares of $10 each by the creation of 150,000 new shares of $10 each to be issued as indicated in the resolution No. 4 set out in the said notice.\n\n(3.) The capitalisation of the sum of $1,000,000 being part of the undivided profits of the Company standing to the credit of its general reserve, such capitalisation to be effected upon the lines indicated in the resolution No. 5 set out in the said notice.\n\nYour directors dealt at some length with the reasons which actuated your Directors in bringing forward the three resolutions in question, and I do not consider it necessary to deal further therewith now, except to remark that at the second extraordinary general meeting in question the three resolutions above referred to were unanimously passed as extraordinary resolutions, and that in order to comply with the provisions of the Hongkong Companies Ordinance, it is necessary that such resolutions shall be confirmed as special resolutions, and I accordingly beg to propose the confirmation as a special resolution of the first of the said three resolutions, namely:-\n\n(3.) That each of the existing 20,000 fully paid up shares of $50 each constituting the Company's present capital of $1,000,000 be divided into 5 fully paid up shares of $10 each so as to make such capital $1,000,000 consisting of 100,000 fully paid up shares of $10 each.\n\nThe Rev. Father ROBERT seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN: I now beg to propose the confirmation as a special resolution of the second of the said three resolutions, namely:\n\n(4.) That after the division aforesaid, the capital of the Company be increased from $1,000,000 consisting as aforesaid to $2,500,000 divided into 250,000 shares of $10 each by the creation of 150,000 new shares of $10 each - such new shares (subject as hereinafter mentioned) to be issued at such time or times and on such terms and conditions in every respect as the Company's Board of Directors may think fit.\n\nThe Hon. Mr. Ho Fook seconded the resolution, which was carried.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN: I now beg to propose the confirmation as a special resolution of the third of the said three resolutions, namely:-\n\n(5.) That it is desirable to capitalise the sum of $1,000,000 being part of the undivided profits of the Company standing to the credit of the general reserve, and accordingly that for the purpose of effecting such capitalisation such sum of $1,000,000 be distributed as bonus among the shareholders of the Company in proportion to the shares in the Company's present capital of $1,000,000 held by them respectively on the date hereinafter referred to, and that a bonus be declared accordingly. And further that the Company's Board of Directors be and they are hereby authorised to satisfy such bonus as far as possible by the distribution in manner aforesaid of 100,000 shares of $10 each credited as fully paid up among the persons who are registered as the holders of the shares constituting the Company's present capital of $1,000,000 on such date as the Company's Board of Directors shall decide - such last mentioned shares to rank pari passu with the shares constituting the Company's present capital of $1,000,000 in respect of all profits of the Company earned since the 31st December, 1920, and such distribution to be in satisfaction of the aforementioned bonus.\n\nMr. Ho KOM TONG seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN: Gentlemen, that concludes the business for which this meeting was convened, and I thank you for your attendance.

PROSPECTUS shareholders\n\nLORD KYLSANT FOUND GUILTY\n\nSENTENCE OF 12 MONTHS' IMPRISONMENT\n\nMR. MORLAND ACQUITTED\n\nThe trial of Lord Kylsant and Mr. Harold John Morland on charges relating to the affairs of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company was concluded at the Central Criminal Court yesterday, before Mr. Justice Wright.\n\nBoth defendants were found Not Guilty on the counts which charged them with making and publishing false annual reports of the company for some period of time, and Mr. Morland was discharged. Lord Kylsant was found Guilty on the charge of making, publishing, and circulating a false prospectus, and he was sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment in the second division.\n\nThe charge against Lord Kylsant was that, being a director of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, he made, circulated, or published, or concurred in making, circulating, or publishing, annual reports of the directors of the company for the years 1926 and 1927, and dated May 11, 1927, and May 9, 1928, which he knew to be false in a material particular, with intent to deceive the shareholders of the company.\n\nMr. Morland was charged with aiding and abetting Lord Kylsant in the commission of these offences.\n\nLord Kylsant was also charged with making, circulating, or publishing, or concurring in making, circulating, or publishing, a prospectus which he knew to be false in a material particular, with intent to induce persons to entrust or advance property to the company.\n\nThe Attorney-General (Sir William Jowitt, K.C.), Mr. D. N. Pritt, K.C., Mr. Eustace Fulton, and Mr. Patrick Devlin appeared for the prosecution. Sir John Simon, K.C., Mr. J. E. Singleton, K.C., and Mr. Wilfrid Lewis defended Lord Kylsant; Sir Patrick Hastings, K.C., Mr. Stuart Bevan, K.C., Mr. C. J. Conway, K.C., and Mr. F. J. Tucker defended Mr. Morland. Mr. Henry O'Hagan and Mr. Elder Jones held watching briefs on behalf of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company.\n\nBoth the defendants pleaded \"Not Guilty.\"\n\nJUDGE'S SUMMING-UP\n\nTHE LAW AND SECRET RESERVES\n\nMR. JUSTICE WRIGHT, in summing-up, said that the case was important because it involved the ventilation in the City of London and in that Court of many questions connected with the finance and accounts of companies, a matter of the very highest public importance.\n\nThe law required the appointment of an auditor, who was the servant of the company. His duty was to report to the shareholders on the accounts which the directors were going to present to them.\n\nIf the accounts from which dividends were being met were being fed from undisclosed reserves, it seemed very difficult to see how an auditor could discharge his duty without drawing attention to that fact.\n\nWas it not a matter of the most vital importance? No doubt an auditor must use a certain amount of discretion, but he must report and give a certificate whether, in his opinion, the balance-sheet referred to in the report was properly drawn up so as to exhibit a true and correct view of the state of the company's affairs according to the information given to the auditor.\n\nMr. Morland might have taken an imperfect or an inadequate view of the duties which rested on auditors.\n\nDUTIES OF AUDITOR\n\nThe law did not impose any impossible burden on an auditor, but he had to report and give a certificate whether, in his opinion, the balance-sheet referred to in the report was properly drawn up so as to exhibit a true and correct view of the state of the company's affairs according to the state of the information given to the auditor.\n\nIf the account from which dividends were being met was being fed from undisclosed reserves, it seemed very difficult to see how an auditor could discharge his duty without drawing attention to that fact.\n\nTHE PROSPECTUS\n\nTurning to the charge against Lord Kylsant in connexion with the prospectus, his Lordship said that the prospectus stated that, although the company, in common with other companies, had suffered from depression, the audited accounts of the company showed that during the previous 10 years the average annual available balance had been always sufficient to pay the interest on the Debenture stock.\n\nIt was perfectly true that the balance-sheets soon showed those average annual balances, that one would arrive at the average annual balance stated.\n\nBut it was said that there was such an economy of truth in the statement as to deceive anyone who knew nothing about the company's affairs and was likely to be deceived to his loss, and therefore to defraud.\n\nFALSITY BY OMISSION\n\nDealing with the charge as set out in the indictment and the offence defined in the Larceny Act, 1861, his Lordship said that a document might be false, not because of what it stated, but because of what it did not state.\n\nThe latter type of falsity was more difficult to establish than where one could point to specific false word or sentence, because, where the falsity consisted of the creation of a false impression while keeping accurately to the facts which appeared in the document in question, one had got to show affirmatively that there had been a deliberate intent to create a false impression.\n\nCOMPOSITION OF 1926 SURPLUS\n\nHis Lordship then reviewed the special debits which had been brought in in the years 1921 onwards.\n\nIn 1926 the surplus on the whole position was £628,535. That surplus was obtained by bringing in from excess profits reserve £550,000, from income-tax reserve £175,000, profit on the sale of H. and W. Nelson, Limited, and £150,000 from the general reserve.\n\nSIMPLE FAITH OF SHAREHOLDERS\n\nFor seven years balance sheets and profit and loss accounts were issued which did not disclose whether the company was earning any profit or not.\n\nDuring those seven years there was expended out of the unpublished items, which were mainly connected with the shipowning business, sums which amounted to some millions of pounds.\n\nTHE VERDICT\n\nThe jury retired at 3.32.\n\nAt 5.20 his Lordship returned to the Court and said that he had received a letter from the jury which he had thought it best to read in open Court.\n\nThe jury had to decide whether or not that was a false document.\n\nAddressing the jury, his Lordship said: \"The question you ask is according to the words in the indictment, 'with intent to deceive the shareholders'; you ask whether the intent must be fraudulent.\"\n\nAfter an absence of three hours the jury found both the defendants Not Guilty on the first two counts, and Lord Kylsant Guilty on the third count relating to the prospectus.\n\nHis Lordship immediately discharged Mr. Morland.\n\nSENTENCE ON LORD KYLSANT\n\nAfter asking Lord Kylsant if he had anything to say, MR. JUSTICE WRIGHT, addressing him, said: \"Lord Kylsant, the jury have found you Guilty on the third count of this indictment.\"\n\nThe sentence of the Court is that you be kept in prison in the second division for 12 months.\"\n\nSIR JOHN SIMON asked for bail in view of an appeal.\n\nAn application is to be made in the High Court to-day for leave to appeal.\n\nPage 18\n\n...\n\nPage 363\n\n \nD.

In the following August however the receipt of your telegrams Nos. 103 and 113 indicated some mistake and although its exact nature was not understood, its existence and the actual facts regarding your instructions were communicated in guarded terms to Nguyen's solicitors who passed them on to Messrs. Light & Fulton in equally guarded terms. They also told Nguyen himself and from that time he abandoned all idea of going to England and concentrated on an endeavour to reach Vladivostok.\n\n3. Here again serious difficulties arose. Nguyen would not trust himself on any but a Soviet ship proceeding direct to Vladivostok and such ships do not call at Hong Kong. An endeavour was made to arrange for him to proceed under surveillance to Singapore, but the Government of the Straits Settlements found themselves unable to concur. Finally Nguyen's solicitors were told that their client must be out of the Colony on or before the 15th January to which date I had extended the time limit by order under Section 6(1)(c) of the Ordinance and that he would be freed from custody and surveillance a few days before that date in order that he might depart with as much secrecy as he could devise. After much argument it was arranged that he should be fetched from the Prison hospital in a car by a Cadet Officer attached to the Secretariat for Chinese Affairs on the afternoon of the 28th December and released in the streets, on the clear understanding that after the 15th January he remained in the Colony at his peril.
