I would also recommend that the southern part of this work should be cut off from the long straggling main work by a flanked ditch and wall. This interior retrenchment would not only serve as a redoubt for the whole work, from which an artillery fire could still be maintained on the town, but would provide for the probable contingency of its having to be defended by a small garrison only.\n\n## Fort Fullerton\n\nFort Fullerton, a weak battery à fleur d'eau, has been partially dismantled to make way for the Government Post Office, but it still has an armament of nine 68-pdrs, of 95 cwt., six of which are mounted. Eight of these guns, however, require re-venting and one is unserviceable. This work was formerly intended to assist in the defence of the roadstead, but its retired position and want of command render it very unsuitable for this object. Like Fort Canning, moreover, a fire from this work would draw the enemy's fire on the town. Fort Fullerton would, however, owing to its position, be a useful post in case of a rising of the native population, and I would recommend that it should be retained with reference to this contingency. With this view, the guns mounted on the sea-face should be removed, the embrasures filled up, and the parapet provided with a banquette. The gorge of the work should also be closed by a loopholed wall, in connection with the Post Office.\n\n## Painter Battery\n\nThis battery is constructed in the shape of an elongated horse-shoe, 100 feet in length by 10 feet in mean width, and is armed with five 56-pdrs., S. B. guns of 98 cwt., three of which only are now in position and these require re-venting; the remaining two are dismounted and unserviceable. There is no bombproof accommodation, and its magazine, which is situated in the gorge of the work close to the guns, is weak and much exposed. This battery occupies a commanding position, however, and was constructed with a view of bringing a cross fire to bear on the roadstead in connection with Forts Canning and Fullerton. Owing to its small extent, the guns are placed very close together, and but one 4-foot traverse is provided. This circumstance, taken in connection with its position on a narrow ledge on the face of the cliff, would always have rendered the service of the guns dangerous. The site is quite unsuited for the requirements of modern warfare, and I recommend that the armament should be removed, and the battery entirely dismantled. The summit of the hill, upon the slope of which it stands, presents, however, a very advantageous and commanding site for a work to aid in the defence of the roadstead and the New Harbour. I shall refer to this point hereafter.\n\n## Mount Faber Battery\n\nThis battery was constructed for two 56-pdrs., S. B. guns of 95 cwt., and designed to bear upon the eastern and western entrances of the New Harbour, which are distant 2,300 yards and 2,400 yards respectively, as well as to play upon any vessel that had succeeded in entering the harbour, in which the navigation is somewhat difficult. The armament of this work has, however, been removed and the work itself has not been kept in repair.\n\n## Mount Faber Mortar Battery\n\nThe two 13-inch mortars are still in position, but the work itself can scarcely be said to exist. The mortars were intended to play upon the deck of any vessel that may have entered the New Harbour, but it need scarcely be added that so small an amount of vertical fire would scarcely afford such protection.\n\n## \n9\n\nIt will be seen that the existing defences scarcely provide in any degree for the protection of New Harbour, and that there is nothing to prevent a hostile cruizer from entering, and destroying the shipping, wharves, docks, and establishments therein.\n\nI will now consider what defences are necessary to afford the required protection.\n\n## Proposed defences\n\nDistant as Singapore is from any great foreign naval centre of operations, from whence a possibly hostile maritime power could despatch an expedition in any great force, it is only necessary to defend it against the attack of a squadron which might consist of three or four vessels, one or two of which would probably be ironclad. If it were considered necessary to provide for defence against non-armourclad vessels only, of course a large saving would be effected in the cost of armaments. It is, however, to be observed that France and Holland each have, at the present time, at least one ironclad in the Eastern Seas. A few months ago, there were three ironclad vessels, two French and one Dutch, in Harbour here.\n\n## General plan of defence\n\nIn order to provide effectively for the protection of New Harbour, I would propose to place two works on the island of Blakan Mati--one on Mount Serpong, the other on Mount Siloso; also a new battery on Mount Palmer. I further propose to occupy Mount Faber for defence on the land side. The positions of these works are shown on `plan I` herewith.\n\n## Work on Mount Serpong\n\nThe work on Mount Serapong would bring a fire to bear seaward upon the wide zone which extends from the western entrance of the New Harbour to Tanjong Paggar spit; flank the front of Blakan Mati and of the proposed work on Mount Siloso; command the New Harbour from end to end, and, though at long range, the Singapore Straits to the southward. In conjunction with the work on Mount Palmer, it would also maintain a cross-fire on the channels leading into the New Harbour from the Eastward. Its commanding situation, on the cul-",

Ch. 236.\n\nOn 20th September, 1879, an attachment was issued by the High Court against Pooley for disobedience of an order of the Court in a civil action. On 27th September a petition in bankruptcy was filed, and Pooley was adjudicated bankrupt on 22nd October, and he soon afterwards left England. On 13th May, 1880, the trustee obtained permission to prosecute Pooley for offences against bankruptcy law. Pooley was arrested in Paris on 1st June on a warrant issued on 22nd May. On 7th June an order was obtained to lodge the writ of attachment with the Governor of Newgate, and that Pooley when released from the criminal charge should be handed over to the Governor of Holloway Prison until he had purged his contempt. On 28th June, Pooley was discharged by the Guildhall Magistrate in respect of the charges in the warrant, and he was then taken to Holloway.\n\nCHANCERY DIVISION.\n\nHe applied (9th July) to Vice-Chancellor BACON to discharge him. The motion was refused with costs.\n\nCOURT OF APPEAL.\n\nFrom this order he appealed; and the Court, after hearing evidence, Held: Disobedience of an order of the High Court of Justice in a civil action, though a contempt of Court, is not an \"offence\" within the meaning of section 19 of the Extradition Act; and Pooley was therefore not entitled to his discharge until his contempt had been purged. If a warrant under the Extradition Act is obtained, not for the bona fide purpose of punishing a person for a crime, but with the indirect object of making him amenable to an attachment in a civil action, it will be an abuse of the process of the Court, and the attachment will be set aside.\n\nR. v. JACOBI AND HILLER.\n\nGermany.\n\n3rd March, 1881.\n\nQUEEN'S BENCH: Pollock, B., and STEPHEN, J.\n\n46 L.T. (N.S.) 595, footnote.\n\nOn 23rd September, 1880, prisoners sent from Amsterdam a letter to Heininger & Co., Mayence, ordering furniture to be sent to Amsterdam. Heininger's agent called on them, and prisoners made certain alleged false statements. Furniture was supplied, sent by ordinary carrying agents to Amsterdam; it was not paid for, but was removed to England, and prisoners absconded to England. Warrants were issued at Mayence in December for the arrest of the prisoners, setting forth that they were \"suspected of fraud\" by having, with intent to procure illegal pecuniary profit, and by a promise of payment given in writing falsely and in bad faith, induced Heininger to forward furniture, thus causing pecuniary prejudice to the said firm.\n\n13\n\nThey were committed for extradition for \"obtaining goods by false pretences\"; and on application for rules nisi for writs of habeas corpus, it was\n\nContended: That if any offence had been committed it was in Holland and not in Germany; and that the German warrant of arrest was bad for insufficiency, as it did not state upon its face that the crime charged was the extradition offence of obtaining goods by false pretences, but set out a mere fraud which could be substantiated without proving a single false pretence for which they could be indicted in England; such mere fraud was not an extradition offence in the treaty.\n\nHeld: That the offence was committed in Germany, the property being actually parted with at Mayence: and that (referring to ex parte Terraz) the warrant was sufficient.\n\nPer POLLOCK, B.-It seems to me that upon all the sound principles the course of dealing of the prisoners was an obtaining of the goods in Mayence under false pretences: and the Magistrate decided upon evidence contained in those letters, which clearly show that there was false pretence, and that under those circumstances the offence was committed.\n\n(See ex parte Terras, L.R. 1 Ex.

LAVAUDIER AND OTHERS.\n\nBelgium.\n\n24th August, 1881.\n\nQUEEN'S BENCH: CAVE and KAY, JJ.\n\n15 Cox C.C. 329.\n\n(Head note in Cox's Reports: \"To satisfy a Magistrate in committing a prisoner charged with an extradition crime, under section 10 there must be some evidence that the prisoner committed such crime within the jurisdiction of the country seeking extradition.\")\n\nOn the night of the 3rd-4th June, 1881, a burglary was committed in Brussels. These prisoners had been seen before the 3rd June in London with the person who subsequently brought the stolen goods from Belgium, who had been seen in Brussels at the time of the commission of the burglary. These prisoners pledged the stolen goods in London. They were committed for extradition for receiving and being accessories after the fact to the burglary.\n\nHeld: That there was no evidence at all to show that the accused were guilty of receiving these stolen goods in Belgium, though there was strong evidence of receiving stolen goods in England, and prisoners were discharged.\n\n(See R. v. Nillins, 53 L.J.M.C. 157; and R. v. Jacobi and Hiller, 46 L.T. (N.S.) 595, footnote.)\n\n513",

It was, as I understood it (and still so understand), merely calling for an amplification of my former report.\n\n3. The second enclosure is a copy of a minute from H.E.

The climate of Hongkong, which has never suited my wife, now no longer agrees with me. I am now, and my doctor warns me against returning thither. Indeed, I was told that I was not expected to live when I embarked for home on the 1st February last. The climate is not really a bad one, so long as one preserves one's health, but I have seen too many officials and others absolutely break down, or die suddenly, because it no longer suited them, and they were unable to obtain a transfer to another climate, to be willing to disregard the doctor's warning if I can possibly obtain employment elsewhere.\n\n3. It is with great regret that I have arrived at this decision, for I am deeply interested in the Colony of Hongkong, and its welfare, and have bought a house there, which I shall probably have to sell at a considerable loss. Health must come first.\n\nBut \n\n4. And there are other reasons.

The treatment to which I refer is not confined to a single instance, but has been spread over my whole career under the Colonial Office. I propose here to deal with the principal instances in chronological order, so far as possible. \n\n3. I entered the Colonial Service in 1899, after over twenty years in the Royal Navy, receiving the appointment as Assistant Harbour Master, &c., Hongkong, on July 1, thirteen years ago, and sailing on the 12 August in the same year to take up the appointment. Although the Colonial Regulations provide for the payment of half salary to an officer newly appointed during the passage out, if such half salary is available, I did not receive any salary at all until my arrival in the Colony on the 22nd September 1899. The half salary was available, my predecessor in the post having left the Colony before the date of my sailing from England (he resigned the appointment), while the officer who was performing the duties received but half the salary of the acting post and half of his own. In this connection, I may remark that I was offered a second-class passage only, and paid the difference between that and the first-class fare out of my own pocket, while among the other first-class passengers in the ship was a boatswain in the Royal Navy, travelling at Admiralty expense. \n\n4. In 1904, I was selected to perform the duties of Assistant Superintendant of Police, in charge of Water Police, in addition to those of my own post. For this, I received the lapsing allowance. \n\nUnder Secretary  \nColonial Office",
