The killed alone of the Chinese is supposed to have been at least five hundred men in the action! This may be viewed as a fair sample of the whole Chinese war.\n\nAND PROSPECTS IN CHINA.\n\n79\n\nEnglish interests are now therefore irrevocably interwoven with those of China; we hold the largest stake at issue as regards her peaceful prosperity and national independence; and whatever strengthens our power, extends our commerce, and permanently enlarges our influence, is equally beneficial to China and to England. Other nations have since come forward to claim a participation in the concessions obtained by Britain: treaties have been arranged with the United States and with France; and China for the first time has entered into the social compact which kingdoms, as well as individuals, find necessary for their protection, and which, rightly understood, is indispensable to their tranquillity and to their improvement.\n\nThe far-seeing politician must therefore admit, that sooner or later China (whose inhabitants it is estimated number one-third of the human race) will exercise an important influence on the affairs of Europe. How this influence will be primarily manifested, whether through India or through Russia, or by reason of European nations contending for a dominant power in this immense empire, it seems impossible to predicate; but this much is evident, that no nation is so deeply interested in the \"Chinese Question\" as Britain; that this interest must daily increase, on political, maritime, and mercantile considerations; and that a solemn responsibility has devolved on Great Britain in relation to China, which cannot be neglected without involving serious and perhaps irretrievable calamities.\n\nThere probably never was a period in our history when greater civil, intellectual, and moral efforts were necessary for the preservation of our position among competitive surrounding nations. And it is advantageous for us that these efforts should be made. Britain cannot remain stationary; she must either retrograde or advance: happily her advancement, rightly directed, is beneficial to all mankind, by enabling her to maintain the peace of the world, to promote civilization, to reclaim the savage, to till the waste regions of the earth, and to fulfil her high vocation by a wide-spread dissemination of the inestimable blessings of Christianity.\n\nA republic of nations is as utopian in the existing selfishness of mankind as a republic of individuals, and the elevation of one kingdom sufficiently supreme to protect weaker kingdoms, to preserve order, to uphold the reign of law, and to inculcate by precept and by example the duties which the possession of great power involves, is essential to the steady and triumphant progress of true civilization.\n\nNo nation is so well adapted for this supreme control as Britain; by reason of her insularity, her tolerant religion, her free institutions, her distant and varied colonial possessions, her non-alliance with continental intrigues, her obvious policy to maintain peace, and her maritime superiority, which leaves no desire for continental aggrandizement in Europe.\n\nWhether these views be acquiesced in or not by other nations, it is equally the duty of Britain to maintain this supreme control.\n\nTo do so she must take fair advantage of every circumstance which may contribute to its maintenance, by extending her commerce, and by establishing her influence in new and distant regions.\n\nTo this course of policy Britain is also urged by domestic considerations, namely, by the increasing pressure of population on the means\n\n504", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-018 - Others - 1846.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 224610, "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": "CO129-018 - Others - 1846", "page_number": 516, "title": "CO129-018 - Others - 1846", "content_text": "88\n\nBRITISH POSITION\n\nPainful, however, as it is to contemplate the mistakes of the past policy, and the defects of our present position, there is much to cheer and encourage the efforts of the statesman, if efficient measures be vigorously and promptly adopted for their remedy.\n\nOur mistakes appear to have had their origin in a misplaced leniency, in the manifestation of a magnanimity which was misunderstood, and which conveyed no real and permanent benefit on the conquered. A proud and corrupt Government, like that of China, inflated with the highest ideas of self-importance, viewed honourable and humane concessions as indications of timidity or folly; and where it could not oppose force by force, it would naturally resort to the weapons of the weak,—dissimulation, cunning, and perfidy.\n\nWhen, therefore, we found ourselves the victors of China, it was our duty, while carefully abstaining from doing aught to diminish the control of the Chinese Government over its subjects, to have adopted such measures, and to have taken such precautions, as would have prevented the grievous necessity of another war, by retaining an island or position, as a guarantee, which would command peace; by the establishment of a permanent British embassy at Pekin; and by securing perfect freedom of intercourse for British subjects with every part of China, internal or maritime. This would have been sound policy, and at the same time merciful towards both the Chinese Government and people. The former would probably be saved the disastrous calamity of another war, which may end in the subversion of the ruling dynasty, and the latter, as an imitative and tractable people, would have received the great benefits of unrestricted commerce with a more civilized nation, capable of turning to full advantage the qualities of an industrious and peaceable race, in a country improved by art, and favoured by nature to a high degree.\n\nKeying, a high minister, imperial commissioner, and viceroy of the provinces of Kwang-tung and Kwangsi, respectfully presents this duly prepared memorial to the throne. I, your minister, find that the Christian religion is that which the nations of the western seas venerate and worship,—its tenets inculcating virtue and goodness, and reprobating wickedness and vice. It was introduced into, and has been propagated in China, since the times of the Ming dynasty, and for a period there was no prohibition against it. Afterwards, because natives of China, who professed to follow its maxims, frequently made use of it to commit mischief, the authorities made examination, and inflicted punishment, as is on record.\n\n\"In the reign of Kia-kin, a special clause was first enacted in the penal code, for the punishment of this offence, and hence the natives of China were in reality prevented from committing crime,—the prohibition not extending to the religion which the foreign nations of the west worship.\n\n\"It now appears that the present envoy, Lagréné, has requested that those Chinese who follow his religion, and are in other respects blameless in the eye of the law, be held free from punishment for so doing; and as this seems what may be carried into effect, I, your minister, accordingly request that hereafter all who profess the Christian religion be exempted from punishment, and looking up, beseech the imperial grace. If any should walk in the former ways or commit other offences, they will be adjudged according to the established laws.\n\n\"With reference to the subjects of France, as well as of all other foreign countries who follow this religion, they are to be permitted to erect churches for worship only at the five ports open for foreign trade; and they are not to presume to enter the interior, to propagate their doctrines. If any disobey this regulation, and rashly exceed the fixed boundaries (of the ports), the district authorities will at once apprehend them, and deliver them over to the nearest Consul of their respective countries, to be restrained and punished: they are not to be precipitately punished with severity, or killed. By this will tender compassion be manifested to those from a far, as well as to the black-haired race, the good and the bad will not be confounded together, and by your Majesty's gracious assent, will the laws and principles of reason be displayed with justice and sincerity:—and this is my petition, that the practice of the Christian religion may henceforth entail no punishment on those who are good subjects.\n\n\"Wherefore, I respectfully prepare this memorial, and looking up, I beg that your imperial grace do cause it to take effect. A respectful memorial.\n\n\"On the 9th day, 11th month, 24th year of Taoukwang, the imperial reply was received, assenting (to the petition),”\n\n\"RESPECT THIS.\"\n\nThe above mandate was received at Suchau, on the 25th day, 12th month, 24th year of Taoukwang,\n\nShanghai, 1845.\n\nJ. Mc D.\n\nAND PROSPECTS IN CHINA.\n\n89\n\nIn order, therefore, to accomplish the important objects which it appears desirable should be attained by England, for the sake of China as well as for our own interests, the following points are submitted for consideration:—\n\n1st. The final cession of Chusan to the British Crown. (a) Failing this cession, the island to be placed under the protection of Great Britain, like the Ionian islands. (b) This not being granted, Chusan to be made a free port, open to all nations, with perfect freedom of residence, &c.\n\n2nd. In consideration of the Chinese ceding Chusan to England, we might agree to withdraw our Consular stations from Amoy, Foochoo, and perhaps from Ningpo.\n\n3rd. If the Chinese Government refuse to cede Chusan, then we ought to demand the permanent establishment of a British minister at Pekin, with a guard of honour from a ship of war, to be constantly stationed in the Peiho, and that all official intercourse be carried on at Pekin.\n\n4th. We ought also to require that British subjects be permitted to reside in any part of China, with perfect security for life and property, for the free enjoyment of their religion, and for the prosecution of any lawful and proper business.\n\n5th. That other ports be opened to British commerce, viz., those in the Yang-tze-kiang river, and to the northward; and that it be permitted us to navigate any river in China.\n\n6th. That one of the other islands of the Chusan group, viz., the populous and cultivated island of Lowang, twenty-six miles in circumference; or the island of Tehinsauna, eight and a half miles long from east to west, with good anchorage in both monsoons on the north-east part of the Chusan group or archipelago, be ceded to us. By the adoption of such a system of definite policy, we should be establishing a physical and moral power in China of the utmost consequence to us as a nation, and pregnant with beneficial results of the highest magnitude.\n\nIt is the duty of statesmen to legislate and act for the future as well as for the present. The prescient mind can discern in the vista of coming events a period when the peninsula of Hindoostan will claim that right of self-government for which we are now educating the Anglo-Indian people. We ought to be preparing for such a change, and to be now engaged in the formation of a controlling and directing power in ...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-018 - Others - 1846.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 236775, "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": "CO129-051 - Sir Bowring - 1855 [7-9]", "page_number": 256, "title": "CO129-051 - Sir Bowring - 1855 [7-9]", "content_text": "with Australia, the Indian archipelago and the continental states adjacent\n\nwill ere long, I hope, enable us to create a Museum interesting and valuable.\n\nRoads, 46.\n\n28.

Such secret communication or escape, inasmuch as it can only arise either from collusion, negligence, or want of due precaution, reflects discredit upon the service.

It is too much to expect, however, that they will think so.\n\nThe introduction of a steam-tug for their use on the Poyang Lake may not be very valuable as a means of towing cargo-boats of tea, but as the first step towards familiarizing the Chinese authorities and people with steam-vessels in the inland waters, I think the concession far from unimportant.\n\nThe adoption of a written code of commercial law, in like manner, is more important for what it may lead to, than for any immediate results. From a commercial to a civil and criminal code, founded on European principles, and an international court for its administration in all mixed cases between foreigners and natives, there are but two steps; and these once gained, extra-territoriality may be dispensed with, and the greatest impediment to inland residence and unwillingness on the part of the Chinese officials to see the foreigner located in the provinces will disappear.\n\nFor these various advances in the path of progress and other concessions we have had to give something in return. A small increase in the duty of the two products, one Indian and the other Chinese, which, from their great value, can best bear it, has been the price paid. It is very certain, however distasteful to the merchants any increase may be, that not a pound less of either opium or silk will be in demand, even if it increase the price, by that amount, in the one case, and 1 per cent. in the other, cannot, in any perceptible degree, diminish the profits of those who deal in them. Moreover, it was a case in which the British Representative could not, as the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade remark in regard to another article, tea, refuse a revision on any ground of reason or equity.\n\nOn opium it is a matter of great indifference what import duty is levied while the Chinese Government has the acknowledged right to lay on any tax they please the moment it leaves the foreign importers' hands. Indeed, in the interest of India and our Indian revenue, anything calculated to give the Chinese Government an interest in the importation of the foreign article is by so much an advantage to the trade, as supplying a motive for checking the growth of the native produce, which has recently extended so greatly as to threaten the whole Indian trade, as I more particularly explained in my despatch No. 122 of the 13th instant, inclosing a reply to the Indian Government on the subject.\n\nAs to silk, the argument on the Chinese side was irresistible. It was an article of so much value and in such great demand that it could well bear a heavy duty. The present duty was actually below the scale of 5 per cent, adopted as the average for all exports and imports, and for both these reasons they were well entitled to demand an increased rate to bring it up to that average. Considering that they desired to double the duty on tea, silk, and opium, and had a direct interest in doing so, I think they showed great moderation in being finally contented with so little. Indeed, the total prohibition of opium, the restriction of missionaries from inland residence, and the abolition of all extra-territoriality being the three cardinal points and chief objects of desire with the Chinese Government and all the official hierarchy, it must be matter of congratulation that they have not insisted upon any one of these as a condition of revision; that is, a revision in the sense which we alone contemplated or desired.\n\nBesides the small increase in duty on these two articles, nothing has been conceded on our part but the plainest of all international rights, if there is to be any principle of reciprocity recognized in our relations with China, viz., the right to appoint Consuls in the British dominions. I have not for a moment forgotten the expressed wish of the Board of Trade that there should be no increase in the scale of duties, and the last instruction conveyed in your Lordship's despatch No. 141 of the 4th of August, indicating a doubt as to the expediency of allowing a Chinese Consul to be appointed at Hong Kong; but this last could hardly be refused with any show of reason or justice; and as to the inconveniences to be anticipated—even supposing this Government should be prompt to avail themselves of the privilege, which is doubtful—I believe these will be found on experience, to be more or less chimerical. Hong Kong is confessedly a great smuggling depôt; and the Chinese revenue, it is calculated, lose more than a quarter of a million annually in Customs revenue from its proximity to the mainland. It is natural, therefore, that they should desire to put a stop to it; and, as your Lordship's despatch No. 158 of the 20th of August last, with its inclosures, plainly shows, they are prepared to take as determined measures to check it as the Chinese smugglers are taking to carry it on by force. These things being so, it is much better, I conceive, that we should aid them, by legal and peaceable means, to control the smuggling proclivities of their own subjects sailing and trading from our Colony where there is a free port, than compel them to plant taxing stations, farmed out to unscrupulous guilds or Companies, and arm European-built ships of war to run \"amuck\" on all native vessels leaving the harbour of Hong Kong. Indeed, this course is so clearly laid down in the above-cited despatch of your Lordship that I may congratulate myself on having, as I trust, fully anticipated the wishes of Her Majesty's Government by providing, in the Convention for more satisfactory arrangements than those hitherto existing between the Chinese and the British Colonial authorities.\n\nIf the Consul appointed by the Chinese Government should, by controlling the smuggling propensities of his own countrymen in league with the foreign merchant, inflict any injury on Hong Kong by greatly diminishing illicit traffic, the concession contained in the Vth Article of the present Convention, giving to Hong Kong the much-desired privileges of a Chinese port in matters of transhipment, will go far to counterbalance any damage from effective action on the part of the Chinese authorities against smuggling. The legitimate trade can only gain by the measures proposed, and the suppression of that which is illicit will go far to put an end to the hostile feeling, of the existence of which, as your Lordship justly remarks, there can be no doubt.\n\nFinally, these three concessions constituted the price demanded; for all the Chinese were willing, or could be induced to grant in the interest of foreign trade. Have we paid too dear?

This peculiarity was the subject of remark on the hearing of a recent Appeal Case from the Supreme Court of Hong Kong to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. (Rodger v. The Comptoir d'Escompte de Paris).\n\nBy Sections 14 and 15 a full legal and equitable Jurisdiction is conferred upon the Supreme Court, commensurate with the Jurisdiction of the Courts of Common Law and Equity in England.\n\nSince the establishment of the Supreme Court upon the same footing, as to Practice and Procedure, as the English Courts, various Ordinances have been passed introducing into the colony the provisions of many of the more recent Imperial Statutes for the amendment of the Law. Thus, the Common Law Procedure Acts, 1852 and 1854, are in force by virtue of Ordinance No. 6 of 1855, and the reforms in the Chancery Procedure of England were introduced in the colony by Ordinance No. 7 of 1856 and other later enactments. It has not been possible, however, to keep pace with Imperial Legislation, and no Rules or Orders of the Supreme Court have been made to regulate the Practice under new Ordinances for the amendment of the Law, though portions of the Rules and Orders of the English Courts, in reference to the same subject matter, have from time to time been incorporated into the Colonial Law. It follows, therefore, that although the Law, Practice, and Procedure of the Supreme Court is substantially similar from the institution of every suit to its termination, to that of the Courts of Common Law and Equity in England, it is far more incomplete and imperfect.\n\nNotwithstanding the valuable reforms in the Law which Imperial Legislation has achieved during the last twenty years, there can be no doubt that the legal Procedure now in force in the Supreme Court of Hong Kong is still intricate, expensive, lengthy, and ill suited to the conditions of the Colony. A vast deal of time and money are wasted over arguments arising out of Special Pleading and technicalities of Practice, which are incomprehensible and irritating to the suitor, and which in most cases do not touch the merits of the real question at issue. The Advocates are called upon to argue and the Judge to decide points of this kind in every branch of the Law, any one of which is considered in England sufficiently difficult to constitute a speciality and to induce Members of the Bar to devote themselves exclusively to its study and practice.\n\nThese very considerations led to the introduction in India of the New Code of Civil Procedure and to the fusion of Law and Equity in one simple system, which after a long trial has fully justified the expectations of the distinguished Lawyers by whom it was devised, notwithstanding Lord SELBORNE's prediction that the fusion of Law and Equity would prove to be their \"confusion.\"\n\nThe Rules of Procedure in force in Her Majesty's Supreme Court for China and Japan are modelled on the Indian Code, and are admirably suited to the transaction of Legal Business in the East from their extreme elasticity, clearness, simplicity, and common sense.\n\n1434\n\n331", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-161 - Public Offices - 1872.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 290173, "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": "CO129-161 - Public Offices - 1872", "page_number": 337, "title": "CO129-161 - Public Offices - 1872", "content_text": "In Hong Kong the necessity for a simple Process for the recovery of Small Debts soon became apparent, and a Summary Jurisdiction was conferred by Ordinance upon the Supreme Court in cases where the sum in dispute did not exceed five hundred dollars. The increase in the population and trade of the colony soon called for further Legislation in this direction, and Ordinance No. 7 of 1862 was passed, under which a separate Court of Summary Jurisdiction was established with a Common Law Jurisdiction up to five hundred dollars. The Judge of this Court is liable to be called upon by the Chief Justice to try or hear any causes or matters depending in the Supreme Court, subject in all cases to an appeal to the Chief Justice from any judgment or order he may pronounce.\n\nIt will be observed that the Judge of the Court of Summary Jurisdiction is not a Judge of the Supreme Court, but is at the beck and call of the Chief Justice, who can order him to transact his business for him whenever he pleases. This is a very unsatisfactory provision and adds to the expense of litigation, as the unsuccessful party can appeal to the Chief Justice, and is obliged to do so if he contemplates an appeal to the Privy Council.\n\nThe Court of Summary Jurisdiction is in fact similar to an English County Court without the Equity, Bankruptcy, Probate, and Admiralty Jurisdictions, which are possessed by the latter, and therefore unless the matter involved be purely the subject of an action at Common Law the litigants must still resort to the lengthy and costly process of the Supreme Court, however small may be the sum in dispute.\n\nI am convinced that a Reform in the Constitution, Jurisdiction, and Procedure of the Supreme Court would be attended with the most beneficial results. The colony of Hong Kong has undergone a marked change in many respects during the last five years. Formerly the great trade of the place was in the hands of a few leading firms of great wealth. Since the commercial crisis of 1865, and the collapse of some of the most important mercantile houses, a great portion of the trade of the colony has become distributed among numerous small firms of all nationalities. Public Companies have been formed with limited liability, for a variety of purposes, such as Banking, Marine Insurance, Steam Navigation, Docks, Piers, Distilleries, Refineries, &c. There is an eager competition for business, and constant disputes arise which require adjustment by a simple, expeditious, and cheap process of Law, instead of the slow, ponderous, intricate, and expensive machinery of the Supreme Court, which is found so ill suited to the present rapid pace of commercial life in China, that no one dreams of venturing into Court, who can possibly settle his case by arbitration or compromise. The consequence has been that nearly all the Members of the local Bar have by degrees retired from the colony.\n\nWith regard to Admiralty Proceedings there is undoubtedly an urgent necessity for reform. The Supreme Court of Hong Kong exercises that Jurisdiction as a mere branch of the High Court of Admiralty, and the Colonial Government has no power to legislate on this subject. It is clear, however, that a Summary Jurisdiction in Admiralty for small causes is most urgently required, and has long been pressed upon the attention of the Government, owing to the cases of hardship which frequently arise; as, for instance, where a junk of small value is found derelict, or in the possession of pirates, the expense of obtaining its restoration to the owner is often as great as its value.\n\nThere are various other matters connected with the administration of the Law, to which I shall refer after dealing with the most important of all, namely, that which relates to the Civil Procedure and to the Constitution of the Supreme Court.\n\nFirstly,--As regards Civil Procedure.\n\nA simple, expeditious, and cheap system of Procedure are attractive words, and sound, perhaps, somewhat utopian. It must be remembered, however, that the colony of Hong Kong is behind the age in this respect, having regard to the success which has attended the introduction of the Civil Code of Procedure for India. The Indian Code is the ground work upon which the Rules of Her Majesty's Supreme Court for China and Japan were framed, and it is remarkable that the Report of the Judicature Commission recommends the adoption of substantially the same system in England.\n\nI enclose copies, firstly, of the Indian Code of Civil Procedure; secondly, of the Rules of Her Majesty's Supreme Court for China and Japan; thirdly, of the first Report of the Judicature Commission; and fourthly, of a Draft Code of Procedure which I recently framed, and which is modelled on the Indian Code and the Rules of Her Majesty's Supreme Court for China and Japan. Owing to my sudden departure from the colony in September last, on account of illness, this draft is in a very crude state, and indeed is merely the first uncorrected proof from the printer; but it is intended to form a complete system of Practice and Procedure, both at Law and in Equity. The only subject which is omitted is that of Interpleader; but I have it in manuscript, and can supply it at any time if required.\n\nThe division of this Draft Code which is headed \"Foreign Attachment,\" is one of considerable importance, and is intended as an amendment of the very imperfect Law of Foreign Attachment.\n\nEnclosures\n\n1.

It might form a separate Ordinance on this subject, if preferred.\n\nThe Report of the Judicature Commission contains several new and valuable suggestions, most of which might be incorporated with advantage in the proposed New Code for Hong Kong.\n\nSecondly, As regards the Constitution and Jurisdiction of the Supreme Court.\n\nI am disposed to think that it would be desirable to abolish the Court of Summary Jurisdiction as a separate Court, and to confer upon the Supreme Court a Summary Jurisdiction similar to that of the County Courts of England, in Equity, Common Law, Admiralty, and Bankruptcy limited to such amounts as may from time to time be deemed expedient. The Procedure, Rules, and Forms, of the County Court Acts might be adopted with slight modifications to suit the circumstances of the colony, so that the New Code of Procedure which I have suggested, would apply only to the superior as distinguished from the inferior or Summary Jurisdiction of the Supreme Court.\n\nIn order to carry out this scheme, it would be necessary to turn the Judge of the Court of Summary Jurisdiction into a Puisne Judge of the Supreme Court, and to provide for the appointment of a Second Puisne Judge in the event of any increase of legal business rendering it desirable.\n\nSome inconvenience might be felt at first in having a Chief Justice and only one Puisne Judge, but it would be preferable, in my opinion, to the present arrangement.\n\nThe order and distribution of business might be regulated by the Chief Justice, but both the Judges should have co-extensive powers with respect to the transaction of all business in the Supreme Court, whether in its superior or summary Jurisdiction, with this exception that all points of Law should be argued before both Judges, and that, in case of disagreement, the Judgment of the Chief Justice should prevail. Although the decision would thus be practically that of the Chief Justice, yet the presence of another Judge on the bench would be of great assistance to him, and, on the other hand, would operate, in a certain degree, as a check against ill-considered, capricious, or oppressive Judgments. In the event of a second Puisne Judge being appointed, the decision of the majority of the Court would, of course, prevail.\n\nCases of very considerable magnitude and importance occur in Hong Kong, both in civil and criminal matters, and it is very unsatisfactory that the difficult points of Law, which occasionally arise, involving very important rights and interests, should be argued before one Judge only.\n\nHaving regard, also, to the great distance from England at which the colony is situated, to the insalubrity of its climate, to the necessary interruption of the business of the Court, owing to the occasional illness or temporary absence of the Chief Justice, to the scarcity of persons on the spot competent to fill Judicial vacancies, and to the inconvenience of allowing a Practising Barrister, to hold temporarily, the office of Judge in the same Court in which he practises, I believe that the appointment of a Puisne Judge of the Supreme Court in lieu of the present Judge of the Court of Summary Jurisdiction, would be found extremely advantageous.\n\nI am able to state that Governor Sir Richard Graves MacDonnell concurs in the above views as to the Constitution of the Supreme Court, and would most probably have submitted them to the consideration of the Secretary of State, had he not been compelled by ill health to return to England. The Appointment of a new Governor of the colony upon his retirement, offers a convenient occasion for inaugurating these important changes, should they be deemed worthy of adoption, and before closing these remarks I will offer a few suggestions on some miscellaneous subjects of Legislation.\n\nThe Law of Evidence.-The English Law of Evidence which prevails in Hong Kong is in a great many respects unsuited to the conditions of the colony, especially as regards the administration of Criminal Justice. I believe that the French System of preliminary investigation of charges by a Juge d'Instruction (with the exception of the Prison de Prévention, which is the great blot in the French Criminal Process,) would work infinitely better among the Chinese than our own, provided it be carried out by the Magistrates in Open Court. With respect to the Law of Evidence in general a most learned and interesting speech was recently delivered in the Legislative Council at Calcutta by Mr. Fitzjames Stephen, Q.C. on the occasion of his introducing a Bill on the subject. It will be found in the Fort St. George Gazette Supplement of the 16th of May, 1871, page 183; and the new Indian Evidence Bill, as settled by a select Committee, is published with their Report in the Fort St. George Gazette Supplement of the 18th of July, 1871.\n\nThe adoption of this important measure in Hong Kong pari passu with a new Code of Procedure would no doubt prove of the greatest value.\n\nThe Law of Bankruptcy and of Fraudulent Debtors.-The Law of Bankruptcy in Hong Kong is in a very unsatisfactory state. It consists of Ordinance No. 5 of 1864, which is a mere transcript of the principal provisions of the Bankruptcy Consolidation Act, 1861. It falls very far...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-161 - Public Offices - 1872.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 290253, "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": "CO129-161 - Public Offices - 1872", "page_number": 417, "title": "CO129-161 - Public Offices - 1872", "content_text": "War\n\nLand\n\nMisca\n\nOF\n\n411\n\nProcedure of the Supreme Court is substantially the same as that which I had the honour to submit to the Earl of Kimberley in April last, together with a Memorandum on the whole subject now under consideration.

The difficulty in investigating crime is practically lessened by the fact that in the evidence the facts, brought out beyond dispute, tend very much to simplify the real question for decision, and that in the majority of cases the conclusion to be arrived at is finally certain.\n\nIt appears to me that Hong Kong presents no such special ground for deviating from the law of England as has been suggested. Even if there be such grounds, comparison between the Code in India & the Ordinance No. 3 of 1872 shows such difference of language as will render the practice in England no guide for the practice in Hong Kong.\n\nFor Example, The Code, Section 373 says \"The Court may put any question to the accused person which it thinks proper. It shall be in the option of the accused person to answer such question.\" Ordinance No. 3 of 1872 enacts \"It shall be lawful for any Judge or Magistrate &c. to orally interrogate such prisoner.\" I think the Code properly leaves it in the discretion of the Court to \"examine\", whilst under the Ordinance it is obligatory on the Judge or Magistrates not only to put questions but to interrogate, to which a somewhat Star Chamber questioning for the elucidation of the truth must be attached. The provisions to my mind are essentially different.\n\nSection 5 of the Ordinance provides that the answers shall be treated as evidence against the prisoner, but not against whom? Himself only, or the prisoner joined with him in the same indictments? No such provision is to be found in the Indian Code, and it is entirely contrary to the English Rule, as stated by Russell on page 464: \"The prisoner's statement is evidence against him but not for him\" and therefore it cannot be put in evidence for the prisoner.\n\nPage 18", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-161 - Public Offices - 1872.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 291351, "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": "CO129-164 - Sir Kennedy - 1873 [7-9]", "page_number": 30, "title": "CO129-164 - Sir Kennedy - 1873 [7-9]", "content_text": "# PREFACE\n\n1.

The Supreme Court was established by Ordinance No. 6 of 1845, and by Section 4 of that Ordinance, supplemented by Section 3 of Ordinance No. 2 of 1846, it is enacted that the Law of England and the Practice of the English Courts existing on the 5th day of April, 1843, when the Colony received a local legislature, should, subject to their applicability to local circumstances, be in force therein. By Sections 14 and 15 a full legal and equitable jurisdiction is conferred upon the Supreme Court, commensurate with the jurisdiction of the Courts of Common Law and Equity in England.\n\n3. Since the establishment of the Supreme Court upon the same footing as to Practice and Procedure as the English Courts, various Ordinances have been passed introducing into the Colony the provisions of many of the more recent Imperial Statutes for the amendment of the Law. Thus, the Common Law Procedure Acts, 1852 and 1854, are in force in the Colony by virtue of Ordinances No. 6 of 1855 and No. 5 of 1856, and the reforms in the Chancery Procedure of England were also introduced by Ordinance No. 7 of 1856 and other later enactments. It has not been possible, however, to keep pace with Imperial Legislation, and no Rules or Orders of the Supreme Court have been made to regulate the Practice under new Ordinances for the amendment of the Law adapted from Imperial Acts, though portions of the Rules and Orders of the English Courts, in reference to the same subject matter, have from time to time been incorporated into the Colonial Law. It follows, therefore, that although the Procedure of the Supreme Court of Hongkong is substantially similar, from the institution of every suit to its termination, to that of the Courts of Common Law and Equity in England, it is in many respects far more incomplete and imperfect.\n\n4. Notwithstanding the valuable reforms in the Law which Imperial Legislation has achieved during the last twenty years, there can be no doubt that the legal Procedure now in force in the Supreme Court of Hongkong is still intricate, expensive, lengthy, and ill suited to the conditions of the Colony. A vast deal of time and money are spent over arguments arising out of Special Pleading and technicalities of Practice, which are incomprehensible and irritating to the suitor, and which in most cases do not touch the merits of the real question at issue, and Advocates are called upon to argue, and the Judge to decide points of this kind in several branches of the Law, each of which is considered in England sufficiently difficult to constitute a specialty and to induce Members of the Bar to devote themselves exclusively to its study and practice.\n\n5. These very considerations led to the introduction in India of a new Code of Civil Procedure, which after a long trial has fully justified the expectations of the distinguished Jurists by whom it was devised.\n\n6. The Rules of Procedure in force in Her Majesty's Supreme Court for China and Japan, which are in a great measure modelled on the Indian Code, are admirably suited to the transaction of Legal Business in the East, and their clearness and simplicity commend them to the approval of suitors of all nationalities.\n\n7. The first Report of the Royal Judicature Commission, published in 1869, contains most valuable recommendations for the amendment of Legal Procedure and Practice, and it may be convenient in this place to give the following extracts from it, which relate to the most important of the reforms suggested:\n\n## Extracts from the first Report of the Royal Judicature Commission\n\nMuch may be done at the very commencement of a suit to prevent unnecessary litigation, delay, and expense. In a considerable number of suits there is no substantial question as to the right of the plaintiff to, at least, some relief. Frequently the object of the defendant is to gain time; sometimes he only disputes part of the claim, or of the amount.\n\nPage 30 \nPage 31", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-164 - Sir Kennedy - 1873 [7-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 291352, "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": "CO129-164 - Sir Kennedy - 1873 [7-9]", "page_number": 31, "title": "CO129-164 - Sir Kennedy - 1873 [7-9]", "content_text": "# \n## iv\n\nIn other cases, such as administration suits, suits to take partnership accounts, suits for specific performance, and suits for foreclosure or redemption, it is often known from the first what order must be made upon the hearing of the cause. In many such suits, notwithstanding improvements recently introduced, the proceedings are still conducted as they are in suits involving a real question as to the plaintiff's right to relief. Considerable delay is thus caused, and useless costs are incurred.\n\nIn all suits, we think, should be commenced by a document to be called a **Writ of Summons**, and these writs of summons should be issued from one office. In all cases in which the plaintiff seeks to recover a money demand, whether founded upon a legal or equitable right, the practice established by the **Common Law Procedure Act, 1852**, should, we think, be adopted and the writ should be specially endorsed with the amount sought to be recovered, and in default of appearance the plaintiff should be allowed to sign judgment for it. Further, in all cases in which a special endorsement has been made on a writ, and the defendant has appeared, the plaintiff should be entitled, on affidavit verifying the cause of action, and swearing that in his belief there is no defence, to take out a summons to show cause why he should not be at liberty to sign judgment; upon which summons such order may be made as the justice of the case may require.\n\nIn like manner, in cases of ordinary account, as in the case of a partnership or executorship, or ordinary trust account, where nothing more is required in the first instance than an account, the writ should be specially endorsed, and in default of appearance, or after appearance, unless the defendant shall satisfy a Judge that there is really some preliminary question to be tried, an order for the account, with all usual directions, should be forthwith made. The Judge should also be empowered at any time, on summary application in Chambers or elsewhere, to direct, if he thinks fit, any necessary inquiries or accounts, notwithstanding it may appear that there is some special or further relief sought, or some special matter to be tried, as to which it may be proper that the suit should proceed in the ordinary manner.\n\nWhen the Defendant enters an appearance, and the suit has to proceed further, the issues between the parties must be ascertained by pleading, or otherwise. The systems of pleading now in use, both at Common Law and in Equity, appear to us to be open to serious objections. Common Law pleadings are apt to be mixed averments of law and fact, varied and multiplied in form, and leading to a great number of useless issues, while the facts which lie behind them are seldom clearly discoverable. Equity pleadings, on the other hand, commonly take the form of a prolix narrative of the facts relied upon by the party, with copies or extracts of deeds, correspondence, and other documents, and other particulars of evidence, set forth at needless length. The best system would be one, which combined the comparative brevity of the simpler forms of Common Law pleading with the principle of stating, intelligibly and not technically, the substance of the facts relied upon as constituting the plaintiff's or the defendant's case, as distinguished from his evidence. It is upon this principle that most modern improvements of pleading have been founded, both in the United States and in our own colonies and Indian possessions, and in the practice recently settled for the Courts of Probate and Divorce.\n\nWe recommend that a short statement constructed on this principle, of the facts constituting the plaintiff's cause of complaint, not on oath, to be called the **Declaration**, should be delivered to the defendant. Thereupon the defendant should deliver to the plaintiff a short statement, not on oath, of the facts constituting the defence, to be called the **Answer**. When new facts are alleged in the **Answer**, the plaintiff should be at liberty to reply. The pleadings should not go beyond the reply, save by special permission of a Judge; but the Judge should, at any stage of the proceedings, permit such amendment in or addition to the pleadings as he may think necessary for determining the real question or controversy between the parties, upon such terms, as to costs and otherwise, as he may think fit.\n\nWe think, that a defendant, having a right or claim against a plaintiff with reference to the subject matter of the suit, or arising out of the same transaction, which at present he cannot enforce without a separate or cross action or suit, should be at liberty to bring forward such right or claim by his **Answer**, which, in that case, should have the same effect as if it were a declaration in a cross action or suit, so as to enable the Court or a Judge to pronounce a final judgment between the parties with respect both to the original and to the cross demand. The same principle might, we think, be extended to the recovery of other demands of the defendant, capable of being set off against the plaintiff's demand, when the balance is in favour of the defendant. But a Judge should be empowered, on application by the plaintiff before trial, to refuse permission to allow such cross right or claim to be brought forward, if he shall be of opinion that it cannot conveniently be adjudicated upon in the case to be tried.\n\nWe think also, that the Court should have power to direct that any person not originally a party to the suit, but who may have such an interest in the subject matter thereof as to make his presence necessary or expedient to enable the Court to do complete justice, should be summoned to attend the further proceedings and be bound thereby; and that, with this view, the plaintiff should be at liberty to make any person, against whom he may conceive himself to be entitled to relief, a party defendant to the suit. And, on the other hand, that, where the defendant is or claims to be entitled to contribution or to indemnity or other relief over against any other person or persons, or where from any other cause it shall appear to the Court, fit that a question in the suit should be determined, not only as between the plaintiff and defendant, but as between the defendant and any other person, the Court should have power to make such order as may be proper for the purpose of having the question so determined.\n\n## 8\nThe Draft of a Code for the Supreme Court of Hongkong which I have prepared consists of One hundred Sections, divided into Five Parts and Twenty Chapters. It deals in consecutive order with the proceedings in a suit from its institution to the final decree, and is mainly compiled from Imperial Acts and Local Ordinances, the Code of Civil Procedure of India, the Rules of Her Majesty's Supreme Court for China and Japan, and the Report of the Royal Judicature Commission. It will be observed that in the margin of each Section there is a reference to the Act, Ordinance, Code, or Rule, from which it is adopted, so that any detailed explanation of its Provisions is unnecessary.\n\n## 9\nIn accordance with one of the recommendations of the Royal Judicature Commission, the Code provides that all Suits shall be commenced by **Writ of Summons**, and the practice of issuing Writs specially endorsed has been retained and extended to many cases in which this Summary Remedy has not hitherto been applied.\n\n## 10\nPart IV relates to special suits, and under the head of **Foreign Attachment**, the Provisions of `Ordinance No. 2 of 1855`, have been entirely remodelled, and many of its defects have been remedied. It also provides a simple Procedure for suits against the Government, suits of **Mandamus**, suits on **Bills of Exchange** and suits `in forma pauperis`.\n\n## 11\n`Section XCIX` provides for the amendment of the Code by a resolution of the Legislative Council whenever it may be deemed expedient, without having recourse to the passing of a new Ordinance for that purpose; and although by `Section IV`, all the Imperial Acts and Local Ordinances relating to Procedure now in force in the Colony are suspended, power is reserved to the Court to apply any of those enactments in the event of any case arising, for which no special provision may have been made; and the Code will, I trust, be found to comprise nearly all the reforms and improvements which have been suggested by recent Legislation and discussion, both in England and in India, on the subject of Legal Procedure.\n\n## V\n\n## 12\nThe Appendix contains two additional Draft Ordinances. The first provides for the abolition of the **Court of Summary Jurisdiction** and confers upon the Supreme Court a Summary Jurisdiction at Law and in Equity. The second provides for the reconstitution of the Supreme Court and the appointment of a **Puisne Judge**. Those two Ordinances, if approved of and adopted, should be passed simultaneously with the Code, in order that the three measures may be brought into force `uno flatu`.\n\nHongkong, June, 1878.\n\n**JULIAN PAUNCEFOTE, Attorney General**.\n\n## 23", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-164 - Sir Kennedy - 1873 [7-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 291358, "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": "CO129-164 - Sir Kennedy - 1873 [7-9]", "page_number": 37, "title": "CO129-164 - Sir Kennedy - 1873 [7-9]", "content_text": "# ABBREVIATIONS\n\n1.

Its provisions, which are taken as nearly verbatim as circumstances would permit from the Indian Code of Criminal Procedure (Act No. X of 1872), do not differ in principle from those of the original Ordinance. The practice of interrogating accused persons has long been in force in India, and as the present Code of Criminal Procedure re-enacts with certain modifications, the provisions on this subject contained in the original Act of 1867, no doubt experience proves it to have worked well there, and there certainly seem to be no objections to the introduction of the system here, which would not apply with equal force to India, where it has been tried and approved.\n\nThe opinion is daily gaining ground that the existing procedure bears oppressively upon the accused, if innocent, and is too favorable to him, if guilty. Under it a most direct and simple way of arriving at the truth of a case is neglected, while an interrogation of the accused, where properly conducted, and confined to the charges before the Court, would tend to assist materially not only in the detection of crime, but in no less degree in the protection of innocent persons who have been wrongfully charged with any offence.\n\n**T.ROS.

The Bankrupt who after adjudication fraudulently absconds with part of his estate of the value of twenty pounds from Queensland commits felony (sec. 207 of Insolvency Act of 1874); but the Bankrupt who absconds under similar circumstances from Singapore is not guilty of an offence which apparently amounts to felony (sec. 101 of Ordinance 2 of 1870).

The yearly earnings do not admit of a dividend commensurate with the speculative nature of the scheme, nor do they allow of an adequate sum being laid by in reserve to meet the accidents and contingencies to which submarine cables are always liable. This has been felt by all Submarine Telegraph Companies without exception, and a general raising of the tariff has been the consequence.\n\nWith regard to the limitation of the length of words, I would observe that the telegraphing public invariably use \"Codes,\" in which one word conveys the meaning of a sentence. To the establishment of this system the Company offered no objection; but when the words selected were of the greatest possible length, and sometimes compound words-instances not being infrequent of a compound of more than one language-it appeared that the privilege was being considerably abused. The matter was first taken up by the Indo-European Government Telegraph Department, and after discussion at St Petersburg, the length of a word was fixed by the Convention at 10 letters, which is more than the average length of ordinary English words. As almost all messages are sent in code, this restriction will not, in practice, be felt so hard as you seem to apprehend, it being competent to the compiler to select his words irrespective of sense, merely taking care that their length does not exceed 10 letters.\n\nWith regard to addresses, I would beg to point out that the Company endeavours to give every facility possible by allowing a system of registration, which enables the sender of a message to compress into one word the name and residence of his correspondent. Thus, the word \"Pension\" may mean Messrs. THOMAS LEYBOURN BROTHERS AND COMPANY, 150, Great Sutton Street, Clerkenwell, in all 11 words, which would otherwise be required to ensure the correct delivery of the message. In addition to this, the sender is charged for the name of the terminal town or country which is required for the safe delivery of the message during the transmission. The most complicated address can, therefore, be compressed into two words.\n\n(27)\n\nlinks in the communication with Europe, either via India or via Siberia, declaring their intention of charging all figures at a higher rate, both on account of the additional trouble and time they require in transmission, and also on account of the difficulty of their containing secret meaning.\n\nWith reference to the three points noticed by you, I would beg to recapitulate that with regard to Nos. 2 and 3, this Company has no control whatever, as they are imposed by the rules of the St Petersburg Convention, nor can the Company break these rules, as, in that case, the Government of India would refuse the messages unless drawn up in conformity with them. With regard to the first point, I have already shown that the receipts of the Company do not justify the Directors in making any deductions, nor after all has the Company any very great power to do so, as they could only make them on the Company's own share of each message, it not being in their power to alter the charges of the Indian Government, or of the lines working between India and Europe.\n\nThere is, I observe, another point incidentally mentioned by you with regard to payment for \"garbled\" messages. This subject was warmly taken up by all the Companies, and, at their request, it has been conceded that should the receiver of a message find any part of it unintelligible, he can, by application to the Company's Superintendent, on giving satisfactory reason for supposing a mistake to have been made, obtain a repetition of the words in dispute without charge.\n\nIn conclusion, I would beg to state that the Directors of this Company are always glad to receive expressions of opinion from the public, and more especially from an influential institution like the Hongkong Chamber of Commerce, and I beg, therefore, to thank you for the trouble you have taken in communicating your views.\n\nTo the Chairman of\n\nI am, Sir,\n\nYour obedient Servant,\n\n(Signed,)\n\nJ.

This Ordinance (the Indian Code of Civil Procedure) embodies as substantial maintenance The Rules under which the Supreme Court of China & Japan had successfully carried on its Business from The time of its creation, by the Consular Court; Thereafter the Ordinances prescribe everything that is requisite for the Judges' tokens.

(See 14.5/77)\n\nShould it not also be wise to strike out the Sensational preamble altogether; a clause \"Whereas it is expedient to modify the Penal laws of the Colony\".\n\nThe preamble as it stands does impliedly omit the laws, and cannot explain the circumstances which had to their introduction, and it unnecessarily throws blame upon the Colony.\n\nIn conversation with Mr. Kingfield as to cl.3, the theory that the cat furriers lung disease in a Chinaman rests on Dr. Aris statement: but it was ridiculed by The Indian Medical Journal, drafton 14/07/77 from 22 - and the Medical Commission appointed to consider the question reported against Dyson, which the government find employers cause severe injury to the persons.\n\nPage 88", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-190 - Governor Hennessy - 1880 [10-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 308058, "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": "CO129-192 - Governor Hennessy - 1881 [1-4]", "page_number": 48, "title": "CO129-192 - Governor Hennessy - 1881 [1-4]", "content_text": "## For Sale. \n\n**MacEWEN, FKJKEL & CO., H**AVE JUST RECEIVED \"KL AMERICAN MAIL\" \n\n**Prime Esatera CCISE.** \n\n**Young Aansrict CUERE.** **Apple OHEISE** **BUTTER.** \n\nand **MALT.** \n\n**Sarend Ply's FELI** **Split PRAS.** \n\n**Fab' TONGTES** **AJANS.** \n\n**COONISE.** \n\n**Astarted VRGETABLES.** \n\n**arted AEN.** \n\n**Muted BOLFS.** \n\n**Pig Head UHKKSE** **Devilled HAN** \n\n**CAVISKE** **CLOSE** \n\n**Caiturei Colien BTADT** \n\n**Whitters BAMS.** \n\n**Breakfat KAŬON.** \n\n**Mails.** \n\n## NOTICE. \n\n**COMPAGNIE ES MOSAQEKINS MARITIMES.** \n\n## PAGURROTS POSTE FRANÇAIS. \n\nSTRAY FOR SAIGON, SINGAPORE, BATAVIA, POINT DE GALLE, ADEN, SUEZ MAILIA, FORT Sat, NAPLES, AND · HARSAILLES; \n\nA1204 BOMUAY, MARE, ST.

Among these schools, the Government school at Stanley was satisfactory, as the number of boys, learning English there, gradually dwindled down, through various causes, till there were at the end of the year but 4 boys learning English in addition to Chinese. At the Shaukiwán Government school the state of affairs was hardly better. In both of these villages the people appear to prefer a purely Chinese education to the others studying Chinese only. At the Government school at Yaumáti things were comparatively more satisfactory. The number of boys studying English is very small. \n\nAt Wongnaichung the combined teaching of English and Chinese, both of which subjects are equally appreciated by the villagers, gave good results and out of 27 boys examined, 25 passed in 1 subject each, but none failed entirely. There were also 19 girls examined and all passed. The Anglo-Chinese school appears to be in a satisfactory condition. The best schools of this class are the two Anglo-Chinese Government schools at Saiyingp'ún and Wántsai. At Saiyingp'ún there is a native Master, educated at Howard University, Washington, U.S.A., teaching English, whilst the other Government school in the same building teaches only Chinese, so that those who wish to learn English in addition to Chinese have an opportunity of doing so. But few, however, avail themselves of it, and the majority devote the whole of each day to learning English only, having no opportunities to keep up their Chinese knowledge. At the Wantsai Government school we have two Masters, one an Indian, educated at the Government Central School, who teaches English, and a native Master teaching Chinese. Only very few of the boys in this school omit studying Chinese in addition to English. \n\nAmong these schools, the Victoria Schools are under the patronage of the Roman Catholic Mission, although these schools do not teach religion at all. This fact gives the Victoria Schools an advantage, as more time is given to secular instruction, and the systematic practice of the Victoria boys' school appears to produce a healthy emulation, of which St. Joseph's College deprives itself by the separation of Chinese from Portuguese scholars. Out of 104 scholars on the roll of the Victoria Schools, only 46 could be examined. The difficulty in Shaukiwán is further complicated by the fact that some of the boat-people and villagers there speak different dialects, such as Hakka, Punti, and others, whilst no teacher can be found able to teach in any two of these dialects. \n\n## Grant-in-Aid Schools\n\n17. As regards the Grant-in-Aid schools, the same details as those which I have given with reference to the Central School, will be found collected in the tables accompanying this report. \n\n18. None of the Grant-in-Aid schools has been placed in that highest class of schools for which the Grant-in-Aid Scheme has made provision in Rule No. 20, viz., Class V, for \"schools in which a European education is given in any European language with Chinese in addition.\" The Government Central School is almost the only school of this class in the Colony. But in Class IV of the Grant-in-Aid Scheme, viz., for \"schools in which a European education is given in any European language,\" there are Grant-in-Aid schools, 6 of which use the English language, and 3 use the Portuguese language as the medium of education. Those of these schools which teach English may be divided into Roman Catholic and Protestant schools. Those which use the Portuguese language are exclusively Roman Catholic.\n\n## Roman Catholic Schools\n\n19. As regards those Roman Catholic Schools which teach English, I have to refer in the first instance to St. Joseph's College, under the charge of the Christian Brothers. This institution is a day school, and although it gives also Chinese teaching, in addition to English which is the language of the school, it does not submit its Chinese teaching to Government examination. I can therefore only treat it as English exclusively. As such it presented 32 boys for examination and these were distributed over all the standards of the Code. Out of 31 boys examined, 7 failed in 1 subject each, 1 failed in 2 subjects, and 23 passed. \n\n20. The next Roman Catholic school which teaches English is St. Francis' girls school, which came last year for the first time under the Grant-in-Aid Scheme. Out of 15 girls presented for examination, only 8 had the requisite number of attendances, and these 8 girls were examined only in the two lowest standards of the Code. One failed in 2 subjects, the others passed. A distinguishing feature of this school is the fine needlework done by the pupils under the tuition of the Italian Sisters of Charity. \n\n21. The remaining Roman Catholic schools which were under the Grant-in-Aid Scheme in 1881, which give a European education, confine their teaching at present to the Portuguese language, viz., St. Francis' Portuguese School and the Bridges Street Ragged Schools, all of which are under the management of the Italian Sisters of Charity. In St. Francis' Portuguese School, which is a mixed school, the examination results were satisfactory. Out of 18 boys examined, 7 passed, 9 failed in 2 subjects each, and 2 failed in 1 subject each. Out of 31 girls examined, 20 passed, 9 failed in 2 subjects each, and 2 failed in 1 subject each. The Bridges Street Ragged Schools presented 18 boys for examination, but only 11 passed. Both these schools are doing excellent work as ragged schools, though the remarkable tidiness and cleanliness of schools and scholars belie the idea of any raggedness.\n\n## Protestant Schools\n\n23. Only two Protestant institutions teach English under the Grant-in-Aid Scheme, viz., the Diocesan School and the so-called Hongkong Public School, and both of them are connected with the Church of England. The Diocesan Home and Orphanage is a boarding school for Eurasian children, divided into two distinct schools, one being specially for Chinese boys who are taught English, and the other for Portuguese boys. Neither the Chinese nor the Portuguese division submits its Chinese or Portuguese teaching to Government examination. The result of the examination was, in both divisions, highly satisfactory, as out of 140 boys examined, 11 failed in one subject each, and only 4 failed to pass. \n\nThe Diocesan School is similar to the Central School in its combination of two languages taught in the school. On the other hand, being a boarding school, the Diocesan School has the advantage over the Central School by bringing the boys even out of school-hours under English influences, and affording them at all hours of the day an opportunity of hearing English spoken out of school. The reason why this school does not submit its Chinese teaching to Government inspection, by placing it under Class V (for schools in which a European education is given with Chinese in addition), is probably this, that by so doing the risk of failures at the examination would be very considerably increased, whilst the value of a pass would be but slightly higher. In other words, the school would not be likely to earn as high a grant as it now earns whilst being placed under the lower Class IV. As the repeated applications addressed to the Secretary of State, for a reduction of the number of 200 daily attendances, have been unsuccessful, it seems to me to indicate that the Code, as it stands at present, does not encourage the combination of two languages as subjects of instruction.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-202 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1882 [7-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 319726, "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": "CO129-205 - Public Offices - 1882", "page_number": 281, "title": "CO129-205 - Public Offices - 1882", "content_text": "# 407 \n## 106 \n\nIt was strenuously withstood both then and during Sir Henry Pottinger's negotiations; by some for financial reasons, the alleged export of silver occasioned by the opium trade having produced alarm; by many, no doubt, on moral grounds; by many an unwillingness to face the censure that would not have failed to await overt advocacy of its legalization. Covertly, it was more than connived at. It is not too much to say that the trade was encouraged. The drug was not admitted into the open ports; at least not into the anchorages defined by the Customs; but it was sold at any point along the coast from Shanghae southward, at which it suited the foreign importer to station a receiving ship. Such vessels, I may be reminded, were heavily armed. They were; but for their protection against pirates, not against the authorities. Authorities, it may again be urged, had, at the time, no executive fit to cope with armed opium clippers, had they been disposed to expel them. They had not; but they made no effort whatever on shore to deter the people from frequenting the receiving ships. On the reverse, the opium landed from them was, from 1842 if no earlier, farmed or otherwise taxed, and in 1858, when Lord Elgin took the matter up, li-kin was levied upon opium as regularly as upon any article of the regular trade.\n\n## The \n\nThese circumstances had no doubt their due weight with Lord Elgin when he suggested once more the introduction of opium into the Tariff. But his Lordship did not ignore the fact that, while the degree to which Indian opium is abused in China is grossly exaggerated, it was yet beyond doubt that there is in the Chinese consumer a pronounced tendency to exceed in the use of the drug, and that such excess is too commonly followed by fatal consequences. He drew, therefore, a marked difference between the trade in opium and in other imports. He was prepared to concede any Tariff duty that the Chinese Government might demand, provided the import of the drug were so recognized as to bring it formally within the range of Customs surveillance, and thus to extinguish the discredit attaching to a trade which, though regularly taxed by the authorities, was technically contraband; but, to use his own expression, he would not assist his countrymen in scattering opium broadcast through the land, and he spontaneously conceded that it should be sold by the importer at the port only; that it should be carried into the interior by Chinese only, and only as Chinese property; that the British trader should not be allowed (as in the case of other imports) to accompany it inland; that neither the provisions of Article XIX of the Treaty of Tien-tsin, by which British subjects are authorized to proceed inland to trade, nor those of Article XXVIII for the regulation of the transit dues, should extend to it; that the transit dues on opium should be arranged as the Chinese Government might see fit, and that in the future revisions of Tariff provided for by Article XXVII of the Treaty, the rule of revision applicable to other goods should not be applied to opium. To put it more briefly, if the Chinese would but include opium in the Tariff, they were to be free to do what they pleased with it. I am satisfied that these words do not misrepresent Lord Elgin's intentions regarding the trade. I state it thus explicitly, not as an argument for or against the morality of the trade in opium, but in indication of the position that I conceive Lord Elgin assigned to the trade, as distinct from that assigned to the trade in other British imports.\n\nIt may not be out of place here to observe that but a few months after the negotiation of the Tariff, almost at the same moment that Sir Frederick Bruce, with the ratified copy of the Treaty of 1858, was being driven back from the Pei Ho, orders were sent down from Peking to levy a li-kin duty of 80 taels per picul on opium. The order was the result of an unpublished Memorial from the Governor-General, Ho, then resident at Soo-chow, who, if I recollect right, remonstrated against the proposed rate as excessive. The hollowness of the objection of the then Central Government, on moral grounds, to the admission of opium, and its appreciation of the value of the trade to the Exchequer, are more or less attested by this incident.\n\nSir Frederick Bruce's reception at the mouth of the Pei Ho having rendered necessary, in 1860, the second mission of Lord Elgin, Tien-tsin was added to the ports opened by the Treaty of 1858, and the provisions both of this Treaty and of the subsequent Convention of 1860 came, to a certain extent, into operation.\n\nTo a certain extent only. However good in our eyes our cause of quarrel, however indisputably moderate the concessions exacted by Lord Elgin, the hostilities of 1856-60, and eminently the last campaign, had naturally irritated the Central Government, and, as we now know, within a fortnight of the issue of the Decree directing promulgation of the Treaty, the provincial authorities were instructed \"to let the spirit of restriction abide\" in all arrangements of detail that the Treaty must render necessary. The committee of favourites then in power was, it is true, exceptionally corrupt and despotic, but the instructions sent through them were little else than what might have been looked for, the traditions of Chinese foreign policy considered. It is certain that no provincial Governor receiving them would regard them as unfair or unreasonable.\n\nWe were not long, consequently, in encountering difficulties of various kinds; above all in the operation of those clauses of the Treaty that affect what we are wont to call the Transit Duty question. I employ the phrase most in vogue, but it should more properly be described as the question of Inland Taxation.\n\nIt must be admitted that, however much of wrong under this head we may lay at the door of the ill-will or bad faith of the Chinese Government, central or provincial, a certain portion of our difficulties is to be traced to the inevitable inexactness with which our rights are defined in the clauses on which those rights are assumed to be based. I am referring more particularly to the clauses concerning our import trade; to our manufacturing millions, the trade of chiefest consequence. To speak of the Chinese contention during our fifteen years' discussion of the matter would be almost a misapplication of terms, for they have rarely vouchsafed any other rejoinder to our protestations against taxation over and above the Tariff duty than the one—that the Government is free to tax its own subjects as it pleases, no matter what the nationality of the goods taxed. They have, at all events, adhered to this principle in action. They have pushed the collection of li-kin up to the very doors of our warehouses. At Amoy the li-kin collection has strangled the trade which from 1860 to 1865 had been flourishing. In the latter year the Tai Ping rebels, driven southward, invaded the province of Fuh Kien. This event authorized the introduction or augmentation of li-kin taxation. It has ever since been maintained in Fuh Kien, ostensibly to support the war on the Turkestan frontier. I have reason to believe that, until lately, the li-kin on imports at Amoy was equal to at least three times the Tariff duty. Our information is not, however, of the best at any port. Even at Shanghae I have found two authorities, both of whom I should have held to be equally valuable, assuring me, the one that li-kin taxation amounted to but 2 per cent. upon our imports, the other that it was not less than 25 per cent.\n\nI return to the interpretation of the Treaty clauses. I have said that the definition of our rights in these was insufficiently exact; and that this was inevitable, because our information was inevitably imperfect. The only data really vouched for on official authority were those already referred to in the Code of the Board of Revenue, a list of the stations at which inland revenue was collected on Imperial account. We did not know, and do not now know, what transit duty stations, not in the Imperial list, existed before 1843. We were at the same time certain that abnormal taxation was multiplying in every direction, whether on Imperial or provincial account mattered little; we could obtain no authoritative intimation of its nature or amount.\n\nThe responsibility of this unacquaintance with details so important to our interests must be charged, I need hardly say, not upon Lord Elgin, but upon those whose function it was to provide him with information; and of these I was one of the chief. I cannot, however, blame either myself or others, my colleagues, for failure to achieve what we desired in this regard. Data for a Chinese budget are still somewhat beyond the reach of any inquirer, native or foreign.\n\nLord Elgin's new Tariff was framed as imposing duty at the rate of 5 per cent. upon value as shown by inspection of the only papers then worthy of trust, the Returns of the Shanghae Customs prepared during the previous three years by Mr. Horatio Lay. The accordance of the half-duty, that is, of an additional 2.5 per cent., by payment of which the charges described as transit dues were to be commuted, was declared by the Chinese authority, with whom the Tariff was negotiated, liberal. Lord Elgin doubtless hoped that, this paid, our imports would be free of all other charges. I remember his observing, as the Tariff was about to be signed, that he thought if the Chinese Government got 7.5 per cent. on our trade it ought to be satisfied. He at the same time admitted that once our goods had passed into Chinese hands, he did not see how to secure them against further taxation.\n\nBut to what extent was the payment of the Tariff duty alone to avail imports? When would they become liable to the charges which the importer was to be free to commute by payment of the half-duty? It did not devolve upon Lord Elgin to answer the question, for his Lordship had left China before the Treaty had come into operation. But his brother, and successor, when it presented itself, was prepared to give an answer very favourable to the Chinese; for, but for the words that make it optional with the British merchant to compound for inland taxation by payment of a half Tariff duty, or to face the inland charges whatever they may be, Sir Frederick Bruce would have preferred to make the composition compulsory, and the half-duty payable at the same moment as the Tariff duty; that is, at the moment that the imports were landed.\n\n## 277", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-205 - Public Offices - 1882.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 332657, "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": "CO129-230 - Public Offices & Others - 1886", "page_number": 11, "title": "CO129-230 - Public Offices & Others - 1886", "content_text": "33\n\nSir Henry Pottinger (vide Parliamentary Papers, Lord Palmerston to Sir Henry Pottinger, 1st May, 1841).

Such a rule will hurt no existing interest; will defend British vessels and traders against the unfair competition of outsiders and new-comers; is quite within the power of the British Government to enact and enforce; and is an absolutely necessary assistance or co-operation which China looks for from England in order to the proper working of the international compact contained in the Opium Additional Article.\n\nOctober 31, 1885.\n\nR. H.\n\nInclosure 2 in No. 51.\n\n(Extract.)\n\nLord Palmerston to Sir H. Pottinger.\n\nForeign Office, May 31, 1841. IT is understood that the Chinese Government has consented to cede the Island of Hong Kong to Great Britain; and that island is supposed to be in many respects well qualified to become a commercial station of some importance for our trade with China.\n\nHer Majesty's Government have reason to suppose that Hong Kong has been ceded with the condition that British and other foreign merchandise imported into Hong Kong should there pay to Chinese Custom-house officers the usual and established import duties which such goods would pay on being imported into China, and that such duties having been so paid, and the merchandise being duly stamped by the Chinese Custom-house officers at Hong Kong, there should be full liberty to all persons to carry such merchandise away to any port in China without its being liable to any further payment in such ports or elsewhere on account of import duty.\n\nSuch an arrangement would no doubt be anomalous as far as it involved the presence of Chinese Custom-house officers, and the collection of Chinese customs duties, in a possession of the British Crown; and, moreover, there might be some difficulty in practically carrying into execution that part of the arrangement which would exempt such goods from any subsequent payment in a Chinese port. But there are similar instances in Europe of duties collected in the territory of one Power by the agents of another Power. The transit duties which shipping and goods going up the Scheldt are liable to pay to the Dutch Government are collected, not at Flushing, but at Antwerp by a Dutch agent stationed in that Belgian town; the duties which the Hanoverian Government levies upon shipping and goods passing by the fort of Stade in their way up the Elbe are levied, not at Stade or Brunhausen, but by a Hanoverian agent in the city of Hamburgh; and a plan has for some time past been under discussion between Denmark and other Powers by which, if it were adopted, the tolls which Denmark is entitled to levy upon ships and merchandise passing the Sound would be levied, not at Elsinore, but in the several Prussian, Russian, and other ports in the Baltic, by Danish agents stationed at those ports for such purpose.\n\nIt is possible that British commerce might be much encouraged if goods which had once been landed at Hong Kong could be carried from thence to any Chinese ports without being liable for any further payment on account of duty; and the Chinese Custom-house officers in Hong Kong would be less likely than the Chinese authorities at other ports to attempt to levy exorbitant and illegal duties.\n\n[256]\n\nK\n\n10", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-230 - Public Offices & Others - 1886.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 333733, "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": "CO129-232 - Acting Governor Marsh Acting Governor Cameron - 1887 [4-5]", "page_number": 17, "title": "CO129-232 - Acting Governor Marsh Acting Governor Cameron - 1887 [4-5]", "content_text": "0708\n\n悲\n\nMAIL SUPPLEMENT TO \"HONGKONG DAILY PRESS,\" APRIL 27, 1897,\n\nWith an error, Dha waste yɔtwinned in 194 Cofung dar; die Boreromah We wenu owner that even wa\n\nHey didiem win in chur levinita Asiyalım gewis Bugner Saw Star Pear wiss B top fenthrill and we right no\n\n.

As regards Part 5, Section 80, and the fourth Schedule therein referred to, dealing with the summary powers of a Magistrate in cases of indictable offences, this is a reproduction of Section 8 of Ordinance 16 of 1875 with an additional power conferred in cases of petty forgery. In this Colony, house-coolies and others occasionally forge or utter forged \"chits\" or orders on their masters or supplying the house or servants. These forgeries deceive the tradesmen for trifling amounts, are usually detected, and the punishment inflicted by the Supreme Court is always within that which the Magistrates could inflict, and it is thought desirable to give them the power to deal with such cases.\n\nSection 98, taken originally from the Indian Code, has been in force in this Colony since 1873. Its powers are seldom used, but it is considered advisable to retain them, as they may be useful at times in certain cases.\n\nPower is given by Section 122 to fix a scale of Costs, fees, etc. Hitherto, it has not been the practice to charge any fees, and there appears to be no reason why such an exceptional practice should any longer exist in this Colony. To allow a person to bring a matter before a Magistrate simply for the sake of annoyance and without paying any fee should not exist in a community like that of Hong Kong.\n\n**Sof. M.

But where such officer is resident in a place of which the currency is based on a silver standard, he shall only be entitled to be paid his pension in London through the Crown agents at the current rate of exchange.\n\n## 23. \nPensions to Judges of the Supreme Court are granted in accordance with the following regulations, but subject also to the provisions of such of the foregoing sections (e.g., ss. 1, 5, 7, 9, 11, 14, 15, 17) as are not inconsistent with the following, viz.:\n\n(i.) A Judge of the Supreme Court after not less than seven years' service in that capacity who is compelled to retire on account of ill-health, or who has attained the age of 55 years, may be awarded a pension of 1/30th of his salary for each year of his service as such Judge, until the maximum rate of 15/30ths or half salary is attained after 15 years' service.\n\n(ii.)

Provided, that to become eligible for an allowance under this section an officer shall have been reported by a medical board, nominated by the Governor, to be permanently unfit for further active service or shall be retired on abolition of office after serving continuously for a period of not less than 15 years.

Complaints of kidnapping and of \"brothel slavery\" have been frequently made in Rangoon, but generally they have referred not to Chinese women, but to women brought over from the Madras Presidency. In some cases of this sort convictions have been obtained under sections 342, 343, 344, 366, &c., of the Indian Penal Code.\n\n3. Occasionally applications are made by the Government of the Straits Settlements to this administration to trace women alleged to have been forcibly removed to Burma for immoral purposes. Such enquiry is generally fruitless.\n\n4. According to the last census there were 2,637 women in Burma whose birth-place was in China, and 8,765 women whose parent-tongue was returned as Chinese.\n\n5. The above information is submitted as a reply appears to be required at an early date. The local officers in towns where the Chinese are numerous will be called on for further reports.\n\n6.

I wish in the first place to bring to notice that the question of the annoyance caused to the public by prostitutes and their associates is an old one in Rangoon, and was gone into by the Committee to a considerable extent in 1884 and 1885, while the Indian Contagious Diseases Act, XIV of 1868, was in force. The Committee passed several resolutions in those years, in response to petitions and representations, ordering the confinement of prostitutes and brothels to certain fixed parts of the town under the extensive powers in that direction exercisable under the Contagious Diseases Act. I cannot find, however, that these resolutions were ever strictly carried out. The Committee will, however, understand that the repeal of the Contagious Diseases Acts (XIV of 1868, XXVI of 1868, and Madras Act, VI of 1884, so far as it related to contagious diseases) by Act IX of 1888, without the substitution of any enactment to control the proceedings of prostitutes and brothel-keepers, has entirely altered the situation, and that the matter must now be considered under totally different conditions. \n\n3. I have been requested to enquire into three separate questions raised by the memorialists:— \n\n(i) the prevalence of open prostitution and solicitation in Rangoon; \n\n(ii) the alleged \"slavery\" of some of the prostitutes; \n\n(iii) the alleged buying and selling of girls for prostitution. \n\n4. I may say at once that I have confined my enquiries to the first point, because the existing law seems to me to cover every offence likely to be committed with respect to enslaving women for prostitution and buying and selling girls for that purpose. Sections 341 to 348 of the Indian Penal Code deal with offences relating to wrongful restraint and wrongful confinement. Sections 363 to 374 of the Indian Penal Code likewise deal with kidnapping, abduction, slavery, and forced labour. Moreover, the very offence chiefly complained of under the two last points of this enquiry is expressly dealt with in sections 372 and 373. Again, all the offences above mentioned, except two, are, under the Code of Criminal Procedure, cognizable by the police, and offenders against the two exceptions can be arrested on a Magistrate's warrant. \n\nNow, anyone familiar with the Indian Penal Code will understand me when I say that when it deals with any particular class of offences, every conceivable point in relation to those offences is taken into consideration. With regard, therefore, to the prevention of the enslaving of prostitutes and traffic in girls for prostitution, it is merely a question of producing sufficient evidence to the police to enable them to act. \n\nAll that any one of the memorialists, who has such evidence at his command, need do is to lay that evidence, confidentially or otherwise, before the District Superintendent of Police, who will no doubt take such action as is proper thereon. I do not think it is in the power of the Committee to make any suggestions that would improve the existing law on these subjects, or that any change in the law is necessary. \n\n5. In reference to the first subject for enquiry, the first point I would wish to take into consideration is the extent of the evils complained of, which I would point out are two, namely, the spread of brothels and solicitation. \n\n6. Defining a brothel as a place in which a public prostitute is or remains for the purpose of prostitution, I caused, in December 1893, extensive enquiries to be made as to the exact localities of such places at that time. The result of the enquiries is to be found in the Appendix attached to this memorandum, and the localities are shown in the plan made out accordingly and attached hereto. The Committee will perceive that the plan and the list of brothels in the Appendix disclose the existence of a most serious public nuisance. Quite serious enough for the Committee to desire legislative interference, unless the present law is sufficient to meet the case. Especially is this the case when the situation of the town schools, which are also shown on the plan, are taken into consideration. \n\n7. With reference to the list in the Appendix, I would draw attention to two matters. Prostitutes form, for many reasons, a class of persons who constantly shift their residences and what, for want of a better term, may be called their places of business. A list, therefore, that is correct for December 1893 is not necessarily quite correct for February 1894, though the number of prostitutes is not likely to vary much from month to month. Secondly, it will be seen that the names of the owners of the properties in the list, as recorded in the Municipal assessment rolls, are also given. It is possible that the use to which some of the properties are put is due to the action of lessees and not of the owners themselves. The inclusion of the owner's names in the list may, however, do good by enabling members of the Committee to draw their attention to actual facts and thereby to induce some of them to take such action as may prevent the use of buildings in respectable quarters as brothels. \n\n(5) \n\n8. Now as to the existing law on the subject of suppressing brothels or confining them to certain areas, a recent case in the District Magistrate's Court will throw some useful light. On the 12th October 1893, the District Superintendent of Police laid before the District Magistrate a petition in which the neighbours complained of the nuisance and offence caused by the two large and prominent brothels in the main thoroughfares of Godwins Road and Canal Street. The District Magistrate thereupon issued a notice warning the inmates of the brothels that they were liable to prosecution if they continued to engage in prostitution. A number of the persons concerned complied with the notice, but 13 of them refused to do so and were charged with committing a public nuisance under section 290 of the Indian Penal Code. The District Magistrate found that it was proved that \"all the prostitutes in the Canal Street* are in the habit of sitting at their doorways at night with bright lights in their rooms; that in full view of the street they dress and make themselves up; that they expose their breasts and thighs to passers-by and beckon and call them, and sing obscene songs. Further, that their houses are resorted to by disorderly characters and that there are constant rows between the brothel-keepers and the visitors of the women.\" The Magistrate then goes on to say in his judgment that \"Godwins Road and Canal Street are two of the principal thoroughfares of Rangoon and the behaviour of the women has long been an open scandal.\" In the end, he inflicted a small fine upon each of the accused with a warning that a continuance of the nuisance would result in enhanced punishment. The case was appealed to the Recorder of Rangoon, who set aside the conviction on the ground that it was necessary to prove that each woman convicted had individually committed the nuisance complained of, whereas the evidence in the case had been directed against the conduct of the inmates of the brothel generally. \n\n9. The law then comes to this. In order to prevent the women of a line of prostitutes' houses, like that in Canal Street, from misconducting themselves in the outrageous manner above described, it will be necessary to procure the evidence of respectable witnesses against each woman separately on each occasion that she misbehaves. No doubt if such evidence were procured often enough the nuisance might die out in any particular neighbourhood, but what the Committee has to look at, as a practical administrative body, is: What are the chances of respectable neighbours taking a course so exceedingly disagreeable to themselves and of consenting to constantly appear in evidence against such a class of defendants? The Committee may take it for granted that they will decline to do anything of the kind, and that so far as the existing law is concerned, it is for practical purposes inoperative. \n\n10. The above relates to brothels which are openly conducted so as to be a public offence, and in any case, it would not be possible to cause the suppression or removal of a brothel, the inmates of which confined indecencies to the interior of the house. But the Committee will understand that it may well be an intolerable nuisance to householders in a respectable neighbourhood to have established among them a house of ill-fame. \n\n11. It has not been suggested to me in the course of my enquiries that there is any other enactment than section 290 of the Indian Penal Code under which the brothels can be reached, and it seems to me that nothing effectual can be done to meet the case except the making of an enactment for the purpose. In this matter, there is, I find, a recent precedent in India in the Punjab Municipal Act, XX of 1891, section 204 of which runs as follows:— \n\n### Brothels \n\n204. (1) On the complaint of three or more inhabitants of a municipality that a house in their immediate neighbourhood and within the limits of the municipality is used as a common brothel or lodging-house for prostitutes or disorderly persons of any description to the annoyance of the respectable inhabitants of the vicinity, any Magistrate of the first class having, as such, jurisdiction in the place where the house is situated may summon the owner or tenant of the house to answer the complaint; and, on being satisfied that the house is so used, and is therefore a source of annoyance and offence to the neighbours, may order the owner or tenant to discontinue such use of it; and if he shall fail to comply with such order within five days, may impose upon him a fine to the extent of twenty-five rupees for every day thereafter that the house shall be so used. \n\n(2) This section shall take effect in a municipality only after it has been specially extended thereto by the local Government at the request of the Committee. \n\nSomething of the trouble that is now upon us in Rangoon must have been felt in the Punjab towns and led to the above section, which was inserted in the Punjab Municipal Act on its amendment and reconstruction in 1891. The section seems to me to meet the wants of Rangoon exactly, for the effect will be to cause brothels to remove from respectable neighbourhoods and settle down by a course of natural selection in neighbourhoods which will tolerate them. The section, moreover, is not likely to remain a dead letter, as to give evidence on such a point as is contained in it is quite a different matter to giving evidence of the nature that the Courts tell us the existing law demands. \n\n*That is, in the brothel next door to the Municipal Girls' School. \n\n## Page 48 \n## Page 1", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-265 - Public Offices & Others - 1894.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 355775, "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": "CO129-265 - Public Offices & Others - 1894", "page_number": 52, "title": "CO129-265 - Public Offices & Others - 1894", "content_text": "## 12. I now reach the subject of solicitation. I have already noted some of the acts proved to have been done in this direction, but I will give some further evidence I have procured.\n\nIn reply to my enquiries, one of the memorialists deposes to having been accosted in as public a thoroughfare as Montgomery Street by the Railway Station. He produced a letter in Burmese and English addressed to him by his official title and forwarded by hand in December 1893: \"Please come to-night to Barr Street, Rangoon, house No. 29.\" Another piece of evidence from a memorialist is the following which happened in December 1893: \"On a recent Sunday morning I was walking up the middle of Phayre Street about 7-8 A.M., when I observed a woman, either Eurasian or fair-complexioned native, standing under the trees at the corner of Dalhousie Street, who was beckoning to me to come. As I took no notice, she lifted the skirt of her dress and exposed her person almost up to the waist.\" Now it cannot possibly be urged that a man would be laying himself open to such conduct as this in walking down such a thoroughfare as Phayre Street by day or night, but the next bit of evidence explains it. Another correspondent living in the town writes in reply to enquiries: \"I have myself been solicited in Montgomery Street at the end of 33rd Street by women in that quarter. On December 20th, three young men were solicited in the middle of Lewis Street between Dalhousie Street and Merchant Street. Solicitations a few months ago were systematically carried out in Phayre Street at both Dalhousie Street and Fraser Street corners by women living in 37th Street. I have seen women in the neighbourhood of Canal Street walk into the street and take men into their houses.\" Yet another correspondent similarly writes: \"During the hot season just passed (1893), on several occasions I have seen Japanese women on the wharves and jetties of an evening while I was down there for a breath of fresh air. And more than once their actions with the people of some of the British India steamers was far from right. In fact, its familiarity and publicity was such that no women of purity would tolerate.\"\n\nAn officer of the S.S. told me that \"while lying at Sule Pagoda Wharf in October, two European women drove up to the wharf and sent their cards to the officer on duty, and he, thinking it strange that unknown ladies should send their cards to him, asked Mr. ... to accompany him. The women enquired if it was the Calcutta steamer, and on being informed she had gone, gave them to understand that they would do as well as anyone from the said steamer if they would come home with them. While going down Sule Pagoda Road about 10 p.m. on a night in November in company with two other men, I myself, with them, was most publicly and persistently solicited by a Burmese woman who seemed to be prowling about the streets for that purpose.\"\n\n## 13. It is of course necessary in an enquiry like this to procure actual facts as to the extent and nature of the nuisance of solicitation in this town, and I think the above instances are sufficient to establish the fact that solicitation is carried on in Rangoon constantly and openly in places and at times when the users of the public streets have a reasonable right to expect to be free from it.\n\n## 14. Now, no doubt the acts above described, or some of them, come under the definition of \"a public nuisance\" in section 268 of the Indian Penal Code, namely, they are acts which cause annoyance to the public or which must necessarily cause annoyance to persons who have occasion to use a public right, and are therefore acts punishable under section 290 of the Code. But offences under section 290 are not cognizable offences, and in order to procure the punishment of a woman for any of them, the following processes under the existing law would be necessary: \n1. ascertaining the woman's address;\n2. establishing her identity;\n3. complaining to a Magistrate;\n4. giving evidence in court against her.\n\nIt is a fair question to ask: How many persons annoyed by solicitation would undertake all this? The Committee may take it for granted that the law, as it stands, will remain inoperative so far as regards the prevention of public solicitation.\n\n## 15. It has not been suggested to me that any other existing law applies to solicitation, and it appears to me that it is necessary to ask for special legal powers for its suppression. Legislation in this direction, to be effectual, should, I think, take the following form:\n1. it should give a definition to the word \"solicitation\" wide enough to cover the many forms which solicitation can take;\n2. it should make solicitation a penal offence;\n3. it should make solicitation a cognizable offence.\n\nI suggest here a section to cover the above points: \n1. Whoever importunes, solicits or molests any person, or sits or loiters, for the purpose of prostitution or on behalf of a prostitute, or performs any act which amounts to solicitation for the purpose of prostitution or on behalf of a prostitute, shall be punishable with fine which may extend to one hundred rupees or with imprisonment for a term which may extend to fourteen days for every breach of this section.\n2. Whether any act that has been performed amounts to solicitation for the purpose of prostitution or on behalf of a prostitute shall be decided by the Magistrate having jurisdiction in each case.\n3. Every breach of this section shall be a cognizable offence.\n\n## 16. To sum up:\n1. I do not think it necessary for the Municipality to take any steps in reference to the alleged enslaving of women or to the alleged traffic in girls for prostitution.\n2. I think it established that the brothels of Rangoon and solicitation in its streets and public places are a public nuisance of sufficient gravity to demand public control, and the existing law does not provide sufficient machinery for such control.\n3. I therefore think it advisable for the Municipal Committee to apply for legal powers sufficient to make such control effectual, and I suggest that it should ask the local Government to take steps to amend the Lower Burma Municipal Act, 1884, to the extent above indicated and to some such effect as I have above suggested.\n\n**R.

Or an entirely separate examination might be held for them. In any case, I am strongly of opinion that only nominees of the Secretary of State for the Colonies should be allowed to compete for Police Cadetships. It must be remembered that the Police Services of the Colonies and State comprise only 22 Officers. Unless great care is taken in selection, a certain number of undesirable candidates are sure to gain admittance and in such a small Service, the bad effect would be very pronounced. Police Officers are constantly before the eye of the Public and of their men, and it is essential that Officers should be men of good breeding, good address, and very steady.\n\nAs regards amalgamating the three Forces, I think that no very close amalgamation would be conducive to efficiency owing to the fact that the languages to be acquired in the three Countries concerned are not the same, neither are the laws.\n\nIf a system of Police Cadetships for the Far East is adopted, it should be an essential feature of it that a cadet shall learn at least 1 dialect of the Chinese language besides one other language, viz.- either Hindustani or Malay. A Police Cadet for Hongkong should learn Hindustani and the Cantonese dialect of the Chinese language, while the law is the law of England plus the local Ordinances.\n\nIn the Straits and the Federated Malay States, the law is, I believe, the Indian Penal Code plus the local Code of Criminal Procedure and the local Ordinances; while one essential language for all Police Officers is Malay, and there are two dialects of the Chinese language which are equally useful - the Cantonese and the Amoy - while a third (the Swatow) is much spoken. Hindustani is also, I assume, of importance.\n\nA Hongkong Police Cadet, as remarked above, ought to learn Cantonese and Hindustani. Possibly the same languages plus Malay would be the most useful to the Federated Malay States Police Cadet.

And in all the circumstances of the case it was not an unreasonable thing to do. I have ascertained from Watson's Dispensary which is opposite the Yes Sang Fat that there was a tremendous uproar in the shop when the constable arrived on the scene. The Chinese salesman had received a severe blow on the face and property was broken. Both parties made counter charges, and the constable judged that it was best to get all parties to the station and let some superior authority decide who was right and who wrong. The constable is instructed in his \"London Police Code\" if the assault is evidently of a serious character, or on a female or boy under 14, a constable may in such case take into custody a person charged by another with having committed such offence even without his having witnessed it. It would have been safer and more prudent if the constable had taken the Consul's name and address, but in all the circumstances I do not think that the Consul has just cause of complaint that he was arrested for on his own showing he used language to the shopman calculated to lead to a breach of the peace and there is no doubt whatever in my mind that he struck the first blow. People who behave like that must be prepared for unpleasant consequences. The Consul so far as I can make out claims an inviolability from arrest on the ground of his office, and that is at the root of his attitude of aggrieved dignity. I think if a letter is addressed to him to the effect that the Government regrets any unnecessary violence that may have been used by the Indian constable, and that the European constable did not proceed by summons rather than by arrest, but pointing out that the Consul had apparently placed", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-319 - Governor Sir Blake - 1903 [10-11].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 391298, "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": "CO129-321 - Public Offices & Others - 1903", "page_number": 259, "title": "CO129-321 - Public Offices & Others - 1903", "content_text": "22\n\n23\n\n255\n\n}}\n\nGeneral Conclusions.\n\nFor those who are interested in Yünnan and its trade, I beg to submit the following remarks and suggestions :-\n\n1. It must be remembered that Yünnan is out of the great current of China trade. Whether the year is going to be a good or a bad one depends wholly on the local opium and rice harvest, which in their turn depend on the weather. If this is favourable, we may be sure that there will be money to be spent in the ensuing autumn and winter trading season; therefore, merchants who wish to try a venture in Yünnan should inform themselves as to the harvest.\n\n2. The part of Yunnan which may be conveniently served by our Burmah route is, on the whole, considerably more populous than the part of Yunnan served by the French or Red River route; the Burmah trade has hitherto been half strangled by the ravages of Chinese tax-collectors, but now that Teng Yueh is an \"open port,\" under Sir Robert Hart's supervision, there is every reason to hope for a great expansion of trade.\n\nIt will, however, be necessary to take severe measures against the attempts of the officials to recommence illegal exactions.\n\n3. The most urgent need of Teng Yueh trade is an export product to give in return for Indian yarn and cotton goods. This is especially necessary just now, as the balance of trade is heavily against Teng Yueh; merchants whose capital is silver have to liquidate their debts in appreciated rupees; there is only one export possible at present, and that is opium; the obsolete rules which prohibit the Yunnan drug being taken across Burmah, en route to Canton and Shanghae, should be at once abolished.\n\n4. The importance of Yunnan as a possible field of supply for ponies and mules should not be lost sight of.\n\n5. Every effort should be made to establish a cotton cloth-weaving industry in the Teng Yuch or Yung Chang valleys, and so to undo a part of the injury which Burmah trade has suffered from the long delay in opening Teng Yueh.\n\n6. I am inclined to think a European firm might establish itself with advantage at Teng Yueh. The trade would not bear a large and expensive European staff; what is wanted is rather some one of energy and tact who would be content to rough it, in the hope of opening new lines of trade, especially of export trade, which the Chinese, when left to themselves, are exceedingly slow to attempt. I strongly recommend the employment of Indian, preferably Mahommedan, travelling agents in the interior.\n\n7. Hsia Kuan is a centre of the greatest importance to Burmah trade, and I would suggest the establishment of a foreign agency there, under the direction of Chinese, but to be visited from time to time by a European merchant.\n\n8. The Ta Li third-moon fair is worth attending, as something might there be learned of prospects of trade.\n\n9. The duties levied at Rangoon on all goods not of Indian origin destined for consumption in China should be suppressed. It would be easy for the Government of Burmah to arrange for a system of drawbacks in co-operation with the Chinese Imperial Maritime Customs.\n\n10. Among the articles of import which I noted down in the course of my journey as likely to have an extended market in West Yunnan are blankets, cheap clocks, and watches, mirrors, enamelled ironware, cheap ribbons and laces for trimmings, pocket-knives, padlocks, umbrellas, leather belts, the stouter cottons, such as American drills, cotton prints of a gaudy pattern, Turkey reds, cigarettes, jade, coral, and amber.\n\nAmong possible exports from Yunnan, ponies and mules, musk, hemp, straw braid, rhubarb, drugs consumed by Chinese, wool and furs from Lichiang, bristles, silk from South-west Szechuan, would seem to deserve attention. It must be remembered that up-country Chinese traders are fond of false-packing and other frauds, and by no means comprehend the necessity of goods being up to sample.\n\n11. I should be very sorry to offer any advice about mines in the part of Yunnan which my Report deals with. Salt and copper are the mineral products of which I saw most, but they are both in the hands of official monopolists. Until better informed, I venture to doubt whether there are any mines in this part of Yunnan which would pay for the cost of transporting foreign machinery and paying for foreign engineers. When the upper waters of the Irrawadi have been brought under control by Burmah, it might be well to prospect there for nephrite (jade), which will always command a great market in China.\n\n12. The geological and ethnological features of the Upper Mekong and Salwen are of the utmost interest, and call for careful examination by trained observers with plenty of time, as regards the very mixed population of this district, it would appear to be derived from two sources :-\n\n(a.) Migration south from Thibet, a country which cannot support a large population. This migration is represented by Kachins, Mossos, Lisaw, Lashi, and probably Lolos.\n\n(b.) Migrations west from the Yang-tsze Valley, represented by the Shans and later by the Chinese.\n\nThe Minchia, who seem to occupy more territory than is commonly supposed, may or may not, on inquiry, be found to represent an old stock who had attained a certain degree of civilization before the other migrations commenced.\n\nSUMMARY of Stages in North-West Yunnan.\n\n \n Name of Place\n Distance In Miles\n In Hours\n Remarks\n \n \n Erh Taun\n 12\n 6\n Out of Yunnan Plain to north; over a col and down a defile to north.\n \n \n Che Pei\n 16\n 7\n Out of defile, through the valley of Fu Min, and north on left bank of Anning River.\n \n \n Hao Chi Pa\n 18\n 8\n Up to table-land, and descend to a valley.\n \n \n Yuan Meng, or Ma Kai\n 15\n 7\n Over a col to north-west of Wuting and down to cultivated valley.\n \n \n Wu Ting Chou Lui Chi Po\n 16\n 6\n Over pass of Shih Ta La and descend to ridge, where camp.\n \n \n Lui Shu Taug, near Pei Yen\n 19\n 8\n Descent from ridge to a valley running north and south.\n \n \n K'ang Hsien Chiao\n 18\n 8\n West over a range and down to a small valley.

O. 12:72 2431 f 7 08 04!\n\nGovernment House, Hongkong, 29th February, 1904.\n\nI have the honour to inform you that a letter has been received from the Inspector of Schools in which he recommends the establishment of a School for boys of Indian parentage. He points out that in the Belilios Girls School there are about 20 Indian boys in the lowest classes, varying in ages from 8 to 11. They seriously hamper the teaching of the Chinese girls, whose parents have thus some cause of complaint.\n\n2. The Committee on Education anticipated the necessity of establishing a School for Indian boys. The need is now all the greater, since the Lower Classes at Queen's College are being more closely adapted than before to the wants of Chinese. The Inspector of Schools therefore recommends that a School mainly intended for Indians of various creeds - they would chiefly be Parsees, Jews, and Mohammedans - be started with the 20 boys now at the Belilios Girls School; that it should be under the Grant-in-Aid Code for the present; that an English lady teacher should be engaged; and that the School should at first be housed in a vacant wing of the Belilios School.\n\n3.

This does not include the number, tonnage, or cargo of Junks or Steam Launches employed in Local Trade.\n\nSimilarly, the Export Trade from the Port was represented by 26,639 vessels of 11,199,850 tons, carrying 3,436,726 tons of cargo, and shipping 670,811 tons of bunker coal.\n\nSeventy-six thousand three hundred and four (76,304) Emigrants left Hong Kong for various places during the year; of these, 52,496 were carried by British Ships and 23,808 by Foreign Ships; 149,195 were reported as having been brought to Hongkong from places to which they had emigrated, and of these, 121,735 were brought in British Ships and 27,460 by Foreign Ships.\n\nThe total Revenue collected by the Harbour Department during the year was $300,933.95, being an increase of $15,645.53 on the previous year.\n\n| | |\n| --- | --- |\n| 1.

INDUSTRIES\n\nFor the first ten months of 1904 the Cotton Spinning industry suffered severely from the abnormally high price of Raw Cotton, and during the whole of that period short-time was resorted to. From November onwards a good demand was experienced for Yarn and full-time again adopted, but it was not until the middle of December that, as a result of large crops of Cotton in the chief producing countries, the cost of the raw material declined to a figure that permitted of spinning being carried on at a profit. At the end of 1904 the outlook for the industry was encouraging, and, provided the price of Cotton keeps at a reasonable level, the result of the working for 1905 is expected to be highly satisfactory.\n\nThe Sugar industry in the Colony during 1904 resulted in large profits to the two local refineries. Owing to the scarcity of supplies in consequence of the large deficiency in the European Beet Crop, prices gradually advanced throughout the year, without checking demand; the quantity of refined Sugar consumed in China largely exceeding that of any previous year, while there was also a good demand from other markets.\n\n41 Steam-launches and other vessels with an aggregate tonnage of 7,290 were built during the year.\n\nThe other large industries in the Colony connected with repairing and docking ships and the manufacture of cement and rope, are in a prosperous condition.\n\n## (c.) FISHERIES\n\nA considerable proportion of the boat-population of Hongkong supports itself by deep-sea fishing, in which pursuit a large number of junks are engaged. The villages of Aberdeen, Stanley, Shaukiwan, and many others in the New Territory are largely dependent upon this industry for their prosperity. Fresh-water fish is imported from Canton and the West River.\n\nRules for the regulation, control, and licensing of Oyster Fisheries in the New Territories were made during the year.\n\n## (d.) FORESTRY, BOTANICAL SCIENCE AND AGRICULTURE\n\n111,198 trees were planted in Hongkong during the year including 195,645 pine and 1,978 camphor trees. It was proposed at the commencement of the year to introduce a scheme for felling and re-planting pine forests on the block system with a twenty-five years rotation. But as the scheme was looked upon with ill-favour by the public and as the opinion was expressed in well-informed quarters that a longer period of rotation was preferable, it was decided to suspend felling operations while the advice of the Indian Government was obtained. A scheme of issuing Forestry Licences in the New Territories was initiated in the hope of inducing the Chinese to adopt more economical methods in dealing with the considerable plantations of pine trees formed before the cession of the Territories, and with the object of tempting them to take up fresh areas of waste lands for further planting. The small area available for rice cultivation and the unfertility of the soil combine to prevent agriculture from becoming a prominent industry in the Colony. The low-lying land in the New Territories is probably utilized to nearly the fullest extent possible, and it is therefore from the profitable cultivation of the steep hill slopes that any increase in the productiveness of the Territories may be derived. In this connection the cultivation of pine apple, and experiments that are being made with sisal hemp are of much interest.\n\n## (e.) LAND GRANTS AND GENERAL VALUE OF LAND\n\nThe amount received from sales of Crown land was over $486,000, being some $24,000 less than the receipts for the previous year.\n\nBuilding land in the urban portion of the Colony and in the Peak District is limited in extent and steadily increasing in value. The natural consequence is that house-rents, especially on the higher levels, have advanced to an extent probably unknown in other British Colonies.\n\n## III-LEGISLATION\n\nSixteen Ordinances were passed during 1904, of which six were measures for the amendment of existing Ordinances. The most important measure was the Sugar Convention Ordinance (No. 14 of 1904) giving effect to Article VII of the Brussels Sugar Convention, 1902. By the Hill District Reservation Ordinance (No. 4) a residential area is preserved at the Peak.\n\nThe Opium Monopoly was further protected by an Ordinance (No. 10) controlling the importation and sale of compounds of opium. By the Pilots Ordinance (No. 3) provision was made for the examination and licensing of Pilots, who must be British subjects.\n\n## IV-EDUCATION\n\nThe number of Government and Grant Schools including Queen's College, is 81, of which 23 are Upper Grade Schools in which at least part of the staff is European, and 58 are Lower Grade Schools, under purely native management. Broadly speaking the Upper Grade Schools teach in English, and the Lower Grade Schools teach in the Vernacular.\n\nThe total number of Scholars in average attendance at Government and Grant Schools was 4,970. Of these, 1,665 were in Government and 3,305 in Grant Schools; 2,906 Scholars received instruction in English, and 2,064 in the Vernacular. The proportion of boys to girls was 3,236 to 1,734, or a little less than two to one.\n\nA small Anglo-Chinese School was opened at Un Long in the New Territory early in 1904; and arrangements were made to open a new School for children of British parentage at Caroline Hill, East Point. The Kowloon School for children of similar parentage, opened in 1902, has had an average attendance of 54.8 as against 46.4 in 1903.\n\nThe new Code for Grant Schools has been in force during the year, and has worked very satisfactorily.\n\nIt was decided to introduce the study of Hygiene into all Government and Grant Schools and a suitable text book was prepared.\n\nThe Revenue derived from School Fees was $36,251.50. The Expenditure was $151,589, being 2.32% of the total expenditure of the Colony.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-328 - Governor Nathan - 1905 [1-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 403620, "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": "CO129-331 - Public Offices - 1905", "page_number": 529, "title": "CO129-331 - Public Offices - 1905", "content_text": "# [This Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Government.]\n\n2\n\nI agree with Sir E. Satow that it is not desirable to approach the Chinese Government regarding the removal of the existing prohibition against the passage of Yunnan opium through Burmah to China in bond. It is added that it is the view of Lord Curzon's Government that the scheme proposed with this object should be definitely abandoned.\n\n2. I feel some hesitation in subscribing to this opinion without further discussion of a proposal which has been urged on the grounds of its important commercial and political advantages. I have been somewhat impressed by the arguments in favour of the scheme, which has been put forward by the Government of Burmah and by Mr. Consul Litton, some of which received the support of the Government of India in their despatch dated the 5th January, 1905; and if it is admitted that there can be no large increase in the trade between Burmah and Yunnan, unless a passage is given through Burmah to Yunnan's chief article of export, it seems to me that it would be a matter for regret if we were hastily to abandon further action without at least some effort to ascertain the views of the Chinese Government on the subject.\n\n3. I observe that the only new argument put forward by Sir E. Satow in his telegram dated the 13th May last, is that it will scarcely be possible to persuade the Chinese Government to accept the scheme without the use of pressure. I entirely concur with your predecessor's Government that no pressure should be employed to obtain the Chinese Government's consent. But the circumstances have so far changed since Sir E. Satow's telegram was sent, that it has been reported by Mr. Litton that the Chinese merchants interested in the trade have themselves petitioned the Peking Government for the removal of the restrictions on the export of opium to Burmah. This fact, it seems to me, affords an opportunity for sounding the Chinese Government on the matter. It would be possible, for example, to let the Chinese Government know that we are aware of this petition, and to hint that, so far as the transit of opium through Burmah is concerned, the British Government might not be unwilling to waive the Treaty stipulations against its export if the Chinese Government attach importance to the concession in the interests of their trade. I shall be glad to be informed whether, on reconsideration, your Excellency's Government would have any objection to instructions in this sense being given to Sir E. Satow.\n\n4. I would observe that this matter derives additional importance from the fact that a proposal is now under consideration for the construction of a light railway from Bhamo to Tengyueh. The object of that proposal is to enable Indian merchants to retain a considerable share of the Yunnan trade even when the French railway has been completed to Yunnan-fu. And if the construction of the line should prove to be feasible, any scheme that promises to improve the traffic upon it is deserving of consideration.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n## SOUTH-WEST CHINA\n\n**CONFIDENTIAL**\n\nNo. 1.\n\n[December 23.]\n\n### SECTION 1.\n\nConsul-General Wilkinson to the Marquess of Lansdowne.

This being the case, I myself prepared, the same morning, a Chinese rendering of the message, and sent it informally to the Governor-General, requesting that I might be permitted to see a copy of the instructions which would doubtless be issued to the Taotai at Tengyueh to assist the British surveyors.\n\nI received, yesterday, a copy of these instructions, telegraphed by the Department of Foreign Affairs to the Taotai on the 1st November by order of the Governor-General. After quoting textually my translation of your telegram, the message proceeds:----\n\n\"The Governor-General observes that the Government of Burmah detached last year Engineer Lilley, and Shih, the late Intendant, deputed officers (or, an officer) to co-operate in his survey. Burmah is now again sending engineers for the detailed survey. At whatever time they may come to Tengyueh (sub-prefecture) the Taotai, observing the above precedent, should afford them protection, and should depute officers (or, an officer) to co-operate in the survey. As to the arrangements discussed, he should promptly reply by telegram, so as to enable the Governor-General to consult with the Boards of Foreign Affairs and Commerce. This is of importance. Strict attention should be paid, and report made to the Department.\"\n\nI accordingly telegraphed to you yesterday, in code, informing you that the Taotai at Tengyueh had been instructed by telegram to protect the railway engineers, sending a deputy as before. I added that the Taotai had been directed to report by telegram the arrangements made, so as to enable the Governor-General to consult with the Boards at Peking.\n\nThe 'Arrangements made' should have been rather \"arrangements discussed.\" Chinese term is somewhat vague; it may refer to proposals of your Government to be discussed with the Taotai, or to suggestions of the Taotai in council, so to speak, on the action that should be followed. Practically, I take it, the Governor-General raises no objections to the detailed survey, but will have to consult with the Boards at Peking before he can acquiesce in the actual construction of a railway.\n\nI presume from the fact that a staff has been appointed for the detailed survey, that the Government of India has decided that, unless some grave obstacles are disclosed, the railway should be built. I have not, however, received as yet any instructions to arrive at an agreement with this Provincial Government, who would in any case require the assent of the Central Government at Peking before negotiating.\n\nPage 522", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-331 - Public Offices - 1905.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 412956, "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": "CO129-345 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "page_number": 716, "title": "CO129-345 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "content_text": "# \n\n711 \n\nthe Governor.

I explained as clearly as I could my position with regard to this case, and I told the Viceroy that, so far from having attempted to hush up the affair or shift my responsibility on to the shoulders of others, I had actually gone farther than I was perhaps legally justified in going, especially in the matter of the inquiry held at the Consulate. I pointed out to his Excellency that in March 1907, when a Portuguese watchman on board the British steam-ship \"Sainam\" had accidentally shot at and killed a Chinese passenger, the case had been tried by my predecessor, Mr. Mansfield, in his capacity as Acting Consul for Portugal and sentence passed under the Portuguese Penal Code. (I had discovered this precedent in the archives of the Portuguese Consulate the previous evening.)\n\nThe Viceroy, whose manner at the beginning of the interview had been somewhat unfriendly, became more cordial as the conversation progressed, and eventually stated frankly that his position was a most difficult one, and that he earnestly desired an amicable settlement of the affair. He had given the police orders to restrain the newspapers from publishing inflammatory articles concerning the case, and he was prepared to issue a reassuring Proclamation. He admitted that a charge of murder, or even manslaughter, could not be maintained, but he seemed to think that, the passenger being in a very weak state, his death was hastened, if not actually caused, by the shaking administered by the watchman.\n\nHis Excellency begged me to hold another inquiry, and, if possible, inflict some slight punishment on the accused. I informed the Viceroy that I would gladly do anything I could to terminate this unfortunate controversy, but that I was unable to adopt his suggestion—in the first place, because, in the absence of any fresh evidence, I could not honestly say I thought the watchman had been the cause of the man's death; and, in the second place, because, the Portuguese Consul having claimed jurisdiction over the accused, I had no right to hold a further inquiry, much less to impose a punishment. I suggested to the Viceroy that, if he really was not satisfied with the results of the first inquiry, he should request the Portuguese Consul to hold another; and I promised his Excellency that I would use my best endeavours, in an unofficial manner, to make the investigation as thorough as possible.\n\nThe Viceroy having mentioned that some points in Dr. Davenport's evidence were not clear to him, I offered to send Dr. Davenport to the yamên to answer any question his Excellency might wish to put to him.\n\nBefore taking leave I informed the Viceroy that I was in telegraphic communication with both the Governor of Hong Kong and yourself concerning this case, and I hoped that I should shortly be in a position to report to you that the Viceroy of Canton had taken effective steps to suppress the quite unjustifiable agitation that had been started over this affair, and that the \"Fatshan\" case had been satisfactorily settled.\n\nPage 470", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-360 - Public Offices - 1909.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 421783, "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": "CO129-360 - Public Offices - 1909", "page_number": 572, "title": "CO129-360 - Public Offices - 1909", "content_text": "## the laws, and public justice cannot be denied.

I suggested to the Viceroy that, if he really was not satisfied with the results of the first inquiry, he should request the Portuguese Consul to hold another; and I promised his Excellency that I would use my best endeavours, in an unofficial manner, to make the investigation as thorough as possible.\n\nThe Viceroy having mentioned that some points in Dr. Davenport's evidence were not clear to him, I offered to send Dr. Davenport to the yamên to answer any question his Excellency might wish to put to him.\n\nBefore taking leave I informed the Viceroy that I was in telegraphic communication with both the Governor of Hong Kong and yourself concerning this case, and I hoped that I should shortly be in a position to report to you that the Viceroy of Canton had taken effective steps to suppress the quite unjustifiable agitation that had been started over this affair, and that the \"Fatshan case\" had been satisfactorily settled.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-360 - Public Offices - 1909.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 429632, "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": "CO129-373 - Public Offices - 1910", "page_number": 369, "title": "CO129-373 - Public Offices - 1910", "content_text": "Page 368\n\nThis Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Government.]\n\nOPIUM.\n\nCONFIDENTIAL.\n\n[39622]\n\nNo. 1.\n\n3505\n\nReceived 24 NOV 10\n\n[October 31.]\n\nSECTION 3.\n\nSir,\n\nIndia Office to Foreign Office.--(Received October 31.)\n\nIndia Office, October 29, 1910.\n\nI am directed by the Secretary of State for India in Council to acknowledge the receipt of your letter, dated the 14th October, 1910, with enclosures, on the subject of a minute by the representative board of the anti-opium societies on the Indian opium trade.\n\nIn reply, I am to refer to the correspondence ending with my letter dated the 21st October, 1910, with regard to the Chinese Government's proposal that a revised arrangement for a term of seven years should be concluded, and to suggest that Dr. Maxwell might be informed that His Majesty's Government are at present carefully considering, in friendly communication with the Chinese Government, the course of action to be pursued with a view to co-operating with that Government in measures for the restriction and ultimate extinction of opium traffic and the opium habit in China, and that they anticipate that the settlement which they hope shortly to complete will be found not to be wanting in generosity to China, or at variance with the policy of the Chinese Government itself.\n\nI &c.\n\nCOLIN G.

Dr. Yen has even gone so far as to suggest that to render any further assistance would be tantamount to encouraging the merchants to continue holding their stocks for a further rise in price.\n\nI have argued that the opium having been brought to China under the guarantees implied by treaty provisions cannot be legally interfered with, but while admitting this contention, the Chinese delegate holds that its force is nullified by the consideration that the admission of 18,000 additional chests increases the import of Indian opium which it is the avowed intention of the agreement to diminish.\n\nA further objection that the recognition of any unmarked opium must inevitably facilitate smuggling in the future I have met by offering to have all existing stocks marked by the Chinese customs authorities in conjunction with consular and colonial officers, but neither this nor the emphasis I have laid on the fact that China herself is largely to blame for the present accumulation has produced any effect. The utmost concession I have been able to secure is an offer to admit the opium in stock provided a corresponding reduction is made in the authorised import of the three succeeding years, after allowing for, say, 5,000 chests to make up the actual deficiency in the authorised import for 1910, and even this proposal remains subject to confirmation by the board.\n\nI had the honour in my telegrams Nos. 80 and 82 of the 22nd and 24th instant to report on the difficult position presented by these two crucial points of provincial prohibition and stocks, and from the Government of India's telegram of the 25th instant I have learnt of the further concessions which they are prepared to make in order to arrive at an agreement.\n\nIn the meantime I have received a deputation from the Anti-Opium Society for the province of Chibli, who have come to urge upon me the necessity for the total suppression of the Indian trade forthwith as the only means of securing the lasting success of the great efforts which are undoubtedly being made throughout this country for the eradication of the opium habit.\n\nThe revised penal code for the Chinese Empire which it is intended to bring into force next year contains clauses under which the smoking of opium becomes a criminal offence, while it is reported on fairly reliable authority that if the negotiations fail China contemplates demanding before the 24th April next the revision of the commercial articles of the Treaty of Tien-tsin in accordance with article 27 of that instrument.\n\nWith the aid of the Government of India's liberal concessions, I shall continue to do my utmost to induce the Chinese Government to come to terms on the two outstanding points, but from the experience of the past two months' almost fruitless discussion, it is, I regret to say, impossible to be sanguine of the result.

An early settlement is clearly necessary, in the view of His Majesty's Government, who are impressed by the danger of drifting into the position of attempting to force opium on China after production in that country has virtually ceased. The full views, both of the Government of India and of His Majesty's Government, on the two questions still outstanding (a) as to existing stocks of opium and (b) as to the exclusion of Canton and Shanghai from any arrangement for closure by provinces--are well known to His Majesty's Minister at Peking, and I have consulted Foreign Office as to whether the time has not come for authorising latter to conclude a settlement on the best terms he can get. As regards (a), the position appears to be that a settlement on the lines of your telegram quoted above is not impossible; as regards (b), I take note of your strong protest against concession, but I am not prepared to face the breakdown of negotiations over this point. His Majesty's Minister at Peking has therefore been given authority to conclude a settlement on these two points at his discretion, subject to confirmation by His Majesty's Government. Reference will be made to the Government of India, if necessary, as regards details in connection with (a), so as to ensure that any arrangements proposed by Sir J. Jordan are workable. As to (b), Sir J. Jordan will make the concession, but only in the last resort, and, if possible, a proviso to the effect that no treaty port shall be closed to opium before the end of 1912, or some such date, will be added.\n\n## OPIUM\n\n**CONFIDENTIAL**\n\n`[15199]`\n\n`0 13572`\n\n[April 24.]\n\n## SECTION 5\n\n|| MAY No. 1\n\n### Sir J. Jordan to Sir Edward Grey.-(Received April 24.)\n\n(No. 143.) Sir,\n\nPeking, April 4, 1911.\n\nWITH reference to Mr. Max Müller's despatch No. 214 of the 29th June last year, I have the honour to enclose copies of a despatch and enclosures from His Majesty's consul-general at Shanghai, recording a further protest from British opium dealers against provincial regulations affecting the trade in the drug.\n\nIn a telegram dated the 29th March Mr. Fraser informed me that the Governor of Kiangsu declined to recognise that transit certificates issued under the additional article to the Chefoo Convention were excepted from the new stipulations that inland importers must be provided with the permits of the Kiangsu Opium Suppression Bureau on pain of confiscation of the opium. At the merchants' request, Mr. Fraser then suggested to the governor that the rules should be suspended until a uniform code for the whole Empire was settled between the two Governments. He added in his telegram that he felt sure the provincial authorities would not give way without orders from Peking.\n\nIn my reply I stated that, unless it could be clearly shown by concrete cases that the stipulations requiring inland importers to take out permits were actually prejudicing the free transport of Indian opium under transit certificate, I doubted if we had grounds for effective protest.\n\nI agree generally with the views expressed in the penultimate paragraph of Mr. Fraser's despatch, and I have authorised him to communicate them, if necessary, to the merchants.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Telegraphic.) P.\n\n## Enclosure 2 in No. 1\n\n**Government of India to Viscount Morley**\n\nApril 7, 1911.\n\nWITH reference to your opium telegram dated the 1st April. We recommend that British Minister should agree to closure of treaty ports to importation of uncertified opium on the 1st July, or on the date of the agreement, whichever is the later date, supposing the consent of the Powers is obtainable in sufficient time.\n\nFurther, we recommend (1) that on the 1st July, or on the date of the agreement, whichever may be later, a census should be taken of all non-certified opium lying in the treaty ports; (2) that to all such opium the same privileges be guaranteed as to opium certified; (3) that in return for this guarantee we agree to reduce our total sales and exports of certified opium in 1912, 1913, 1914, and 1915, by the quantity thus determined, less the amount of last year's shortage, viz., 5,000 chests; (4) that, on condition we are allowed to warn our merchants to remove to treaty ports any opium bona fide destined for the market in China, the census and the privileges shall not be extended to Hong Kong.\n\nThere is no objection to the enforcement of the new consolidated duty whenever British Minister can ensure simultaneous withdrawal of restrictions at Canton, and secure guarantee that similar violations of the spirit of treaty rights shall not recur. It is unnecessary to fix a special period of grace, but we desire authority for communicating to our merchants what the new duty will be, and what precise amount of relief they will obtain in consideration thereof. If Sir J. Jordan will advise what terms of intimation we should give we should be obliged.\n\nOn the 4th April all our sales at Calcutta were for China, and at the auctions in May and June only certified opium will be sold. Virtually this will bring us to the limit for the year 1911.\n\nWith regard to telegram of the 31st March from Sir J. Jordan, if the implication of the Chinese argument is that certified opium will be refused admission to Canton as a port whenever, in Kwangtung province, the cultivation and importation of native opium cease, we most strongly protest against such an arrangement being accepted, since it must go very far towards nullifying the entire settlement, making nought of the concessions and heavy sacrifices already offered by us. This telegram has been communicated to Sir J. Jordan.\n\n## Enclosure in No. 1\n\n**Consul-General Fraser to Sir J. Jordan**\n\n(No. 35.) Sir,\n\nShanghai, March 22, 1911.\n\nTHE steps taken by the Chinese authorities to extinguish opium smoking have again led to complaint from the British dealers, whose views were expressed in a letter to my predecessor of the 28th October last. Sir Pelham Warren laid these views before the Governor of Kiangsu, copy and translation of whose reply is annexed.*\n\nOn the 4th February Messrs. Hansen McNeill and Jones again addressed this office asking for an official pronouncement that the regulations are not intended to overrule the treaty rights of foreigners and to interfere with the free transport of imported opium under transit passes. They also complained of a new intended tax on opium sold.\n\nCopies of this and of further letters and of my answers are enclosed.*\n\nThe local regulations objected to are chiefly fussy provisions regarding periodical reports on stocks in hand, care in identifying purchasers as genuine licence-holders, registering of shopkeepers and their employés, use of special sales registers, and so forth.\n\nAfter referring to the correspondence on record in this office and observing that this office received no reply to the letter forwarded in despatch No. 52 of the 21st June, 1910, I concluded that I should inform the opium dealers that the peculiar incidence on the Indian drug of Chinese measures to suppress the use of opium is not a sufficient reason for demanding the postponement until the final cessation of the Indian import of the system of licensing the retail sale and purchase of opium by Chinese; that such measures as are adopted, however annoying or even useless, do not amount to breaches of the existing convention regulating the trade; that their validity does not depend... \n\n*Not printed.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-383 - Public Offices - 1911.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 435174, "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": "CO129-383 - Public Offices - 1911", "page_number": 588, "title": "CO129-383 - Public Offices - 1911", "content_text": "## India Office to Foreign Office\n\nIndia Office, May 23, 1911\n\n**CONFIDENTIAL**\n\n**SECTION 1.**\n\n[19786] No. 1.\n\nSir,\n\nWITH reference to Sir J. Jordan's telegram No. 127, dated the 18th May, 1911, regarding registration of uncertificated opium in treaty ports, I am directed by the Secretary of State for India in Council to forward copies of the enclosed telegrams, and to suggest that Sir J. Jordan should be asked whether the difficulty can be met by adopting the Government of India's proposal.\n\nI am, &c.\n\nEDWIN S.

P.\n\nMay 20, 1911.\n\nWITH regard to telegram dated the 18th May from Sir J. Jordan, all the opium which has been sold or exported in 1911 to China has been covered by certificates that specify the serial number of the chests and the exporter's name. We suggest that the Customs officials be recommended to demand certificates, and to require the holders to produce the chests which the certificates cover. Then all other opium could be treated as non-certified opium. As subsidiary marks can be imitated fraudulently, we have little confidence in them. Sir J. Jordan's difficulties may, we hope, be got rid of by a description of the marks telegraphed by us combined with a comparison of certificates. If this does not remove them, we must agree to compromise he suggests, though we would urge that the figures fixed should approximate as closely as possible to the actual amount of opium non-certified.\n\n### Enclosure 5 in No. 1\n\n**Sir J. Jordan to Prince Ch'ing**\n\nPeking, April 26, 1911.\n\nI HAVE the honour to forward copies and translations of despatches which His Majesty's consul-general at Shanghai has exchanged with the Governor of Kiangsu in regard to the demand that opium importers in the interior shall take out extra-treaty permits for Indian opium under very heavy penalties.\n\nAs your Highness is doubtless aware, the enforcement of such a stipulation is a clear violation of a treaty right as being contrary to the spirit of the provisions of the additional article of the Chefoo convention.\n\nI would also point out that there is a lack of uniformity between the regulations issued in Kiangsu and those in Kuangtung. In the former case, persons transporting opium into the interior without licence will be punished by having the opium confiscated, while in the latter case, in article 17 of the additional regulations drawn up by the Opium Guild, it is stated that if persons are not provided with trading licences, and they are discovered with the original packages intact, the collecting office will ascertain the owner of the opium and return the original package to him.\n\n| Province | Regulation |\n| --- | --- |\n| Kiangsu | Confiscation of opium |\n| Kuangtung | Return of original package to owner |\n\nSimilar regulations with a confiscation clause have also been promulgated for the province of Fukien.\n\nWhile desirous of assisting in every way the anti-opium movement—in so far as it is conducted with due regard to treaty obligations—I must nevertheless request your Highness to issue instructions to the provincial authorities of Kiangsu and Fukien that the new regulations as regards the question of the confiscation of the goods should not be enforced on Indian opium when duly provided with transit certificate, but that the Canton practice of returning the opium to the importer should in all cases be followed.\n\nI avail, &c.\n\nJ. N. JORDAN.\n\n## E. H. FRASER\n\n...\n\ntheir rules so as to remove the apparent demand for their certificates to be used in lieu of the transit certificates prescribed in the additional article to the Chefoo convention.\n\nWith your Excellency's exposition of the purpose of that article, I am quite in accord, but I must point out that your Excellency seems, as regards section 3, to have forgotten the sound maxim that every rule must be interpreted with due regard to the context, nor may the natural sense be perverted by rigid adherence to the letter.\n\nThus, the portion of that section that frees opium under certificate from taxation while in transit is not complied with in case such opium is confiscated unless it conforms to conditions not set forth in the article. The imposing of such conditions practically amounts to an addition to the article by one of the parties to it without that common consent referred to in paragraph 8.\n\nI am quite aware that confiscation and fine are not taxation; but the provision of a heavy fine in case an importer in the interior brings in more opium than the bureau's permit covers, and the liability to confiscation of opium unprovided with their permit, whether it has the treaty certificate or not, does not constitute a breach of our countries' agreement that possession by opium in transit of a Customs certificate and Customs seals is all that is required.\n\nThe whole question of the rules that may be enforced being now under discussion in Peking, I should suggest that your Excellency might well suspend the coming into force of the new set of regulations until a uniform code for the whole Empire is published as a result of that discussion; otherwise, the minds of dealers and people will be apt to get confused as to the law.\n\nI am reporting our divergence of view to my Minister, as the subject is urgent, and trust your Excellency will likewise inform your Government in order that decision may be soon reached.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nE.

His Majesty's Government made the Colony a grant of £12,000 for the year 1911-12 on account of an estimated loss of $225,860 incurred during that year in respect of opium revenue.\n\nBy the agreement of the 8th May, 1911 between Great Britain and China, no Indian opium can be imported into China, unless accompanied by a certificate issued by the Indian Government that such opium has been exported from India for consumption in China. To prevent attempts to smuggle non-certificated Indian opium from Hongkong into China, an Ordinance was passed on 1st September, 1911, prohibiting the import of non-certificated Indian opium into Hongkong except for the use of the Hongkong Opium Farmer.\n\nIn August, 1911, the port of Macao was added to the list of places to which the export of morphine and compounds of opium is not permitted except on production of an official certificate from the country concerned that such import is for legitimate purposes. The import of morphine and compounds of opium for export practically ceased towards the end of the year, and considerable quantities lying in Hongkong were shipped back to London.\n\nPage 2\n\nThe 22nd June, being the day fixed for the Coronation of His Majesty King George V, was observed as a holiday and the whole of the population joined in celebrating the occasion. A review of the troops was held, at which about 3,500 soldiers and sailors paraded. A short service was held by the Chaplain and cheers were raised for His Majesty. Subsequently, the troops marched through the principal streets of the City. The European, Chinese, and Indian Communities all combined to show their loyalty and devotion. Services were held in the Protestant and Roman Catholic Cathedrals and other churches. The Parsee and Sikh Communities also held special services. The children of the Colony were entertained and were addressed by Sir F. Lugard, and sports of all kinds were arranged for them. The whole of the Colony was illuminated for three nights, all the men-of-war in harbour of whatever nationality combining in the display. A reception and fête was held at Government House in the evening, at which practically the whole of the European population and many Chinese and Indians attended.\n\nIn July, 1910, the audit of the Colony's Expenditure was transferred from the Director of Colonial Audit and has since been carried out by the Local Auditor. The new arrangement has proved very satisfactory and the additional staff required has been very small, viz., one fourth-grade and one fifth-grade clerk.\n\n-- 23 --\n\nIn December, 1910, Mr. R. E. Stubbs of the Colonial Office visited this Colony with a view to ascertaining the conditions of service in Hongkong; and, as a result of his inquiries, it was decided that the salaries of certain officers should be increased by the grant of a non-pensionable duty allowance. This allowance is only payable to an officer when he is actually performing the duties of a post to which duty-pay is assigned.\n\nThe preparation of a revised edition of the Ordinances of Hongkong to the end of the year 1911 was considered necessary, and the revision was entrusted to the Chief Justice, Sir F. T. Piggott, who commenced work in March 1911. At the close of the year, the revision work was still in progress.\n\nOn the 7th September, 1911, a Board of Chinese Vernacular Primary Education was constituted by the Governor-in-Council with the following duties:-\n\n(1) to promote efficient Chinese Vernacular Education in the Colony;\n\n(2) to collect funds to supplement a Government subsidy made to the Board.\n\nThe Board consists of the Registrar General and the Director of Education (ex-officio) and of five Chinese gentlemen nominated by the Governor. The Government subsidy to the Board for the year 1912 will be $4,100.00, which the Board intends to distribute after a survey of the general situation and after inspection in the month of December of schools selected from the list of applicants for assistance. The Board is giving attention in the first instance to boys' schools in the City of Victoria and other parts of the old Colony. Its operations do not extend to the New Territories. Girls' schools are also, for the present, not placed under the supervision of the Board.\n\nThe Grant Code was amended in September in certain particulars. The amendments, which took effect on the 1st January, 1912, reduced the rates of capitation grants for such Vernacular Schools as are without immediate English supervision. The practice of giving grants in aid of rent to vernacular boys' schools occupying leased premises is being discontinued. The reason for this restriction of expenditure is that the grant hitherto offered to vernacular schools was too high for the standard of work attained.\n\nOn 4th October, the Chinese Section of the Kowloon-Canton Railway was opened for through traffic, thus completing direct communication by rail between Kowloon and Canton.\n\nThe revolutionary movement in China was reflected in the Colony on 6th November by an ebullition among the Chinese community, which for some days was in a state of great excitement. A proclamation under the Peace Preservation Ordinance 1886, as amended by Ordinance No. 52 of 1911, was issued on 29th November and was still in force at the end of the year.\n\nPage 13\n\nPage 17", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-391 - Acting Governor Claud Severn Governor Sir May - 1912 [7-8].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 439576, "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": "CO129-394 - Governor Sir May & Public Offices - 1912 [12]", "page_number": 68, "title": "CO129-394 - Governor Sir May & Public Offices - 1912 [12]", "content_text": "the \n\nsame cardilians, \n\ninfonet of the \n\nin \n\nof the additional \n\nsea to which \n\nака \n\nwhich you applun \n\nLapplan \n\nK has been made.\n\nвозь \n\nmay \n\nDate. \n\n1912 \n\n(4 \n\nDee.\n\nLast previous Paper.\n\nV \n\n7/12 \n\nIM \n\nAcky?

The vast bulk of the Indian population, it must be remembered, are strangers to the ministrations of qualified doctors or druggists. They are dependent almost entirely on the herbal simples of the country; distance and the patient acceptance of hardships standing in the way of prompt access to skilled medical relief. In these circumstances, the use of opium in small quantities is one of the most important aids in the treatment of children's sufferings. It is also a frequent help to the aged and infirm, and an alleviation in diseases and accidents which are accepted as incurable. To prevent the sale of opium except under regular medical prescription would be a mockery; to many millions it would be sheer inhumanity. The licensing or registering of regular opium eaters is equally out of the question, and would be regarded throughout India as an indefensible and intolerable intrusion on individual liberty.\n\n18. The minor reforms recently carried out in the details of opium administration in the several provinces have been so numerous that it would be tedious to make more than a brief allusion to them. The Government of Burma has, as lately as 1910, completely recast its Opium Rules in the direction of greater stringency as regards the possession and sale of opium. Under the Burma Opium Law Amendment Act (Burma Act VII of 1909) persons who are believed to earn a livelihood in whole or in part by unlawfully trafficking in opium or by abetting such traffic can be dealt with in a similar manner to that provided for under section 110 of the Criminal Procedure Code. That section empowers Magistrates to require security from habitual thieves, burglars, and other criminals, and in default of security to send them to prison. Under the same Burma Act the powers of excise and other officers to arrest and search for opium have been enhanced. By an amended Excise Bill at present under consideration an attempt is being made to strengthen the law in respect of other intoxicating drugs, which show a tendency to take the place of opium with every increase in the stringency of the opium law. Besides a provision for taking security from persons who deal unlawfully in cocaine, it is made a penal offence to keep a place for administering any intoxicating drug, and guilt is presumed in certain cases.\n\n## 19. Another weapon in constant use against the growth of unnecessary indulgence in the drug is the steady rise in the price of opium issued from Government treasuries, and consequently its ultimate price to the consumer. The Central Provinces propose to raise their issue price from Rs. 233 to Rs. 27 per seer, and this proposal is being accepted. In Coorg, Eastern Bengal and Assam, Madras, the Punjab, the North-West Frontier Province and the United Provinces, the issue prices have been recently raised. Bengal is prepared to raise its issue prices and will be instructed to do so. In Northern India caution is required in dealing with opium-growing districts and the districts bordering on them, as every increase in price stimulates the illicit retention or sale by cultivators of opium grown by them. This difficulty will however become less as the area under poppy is being reduced year by year. In Burma the retail price to consumers is fixed at a uniformly high figure, Re. 1-0-0 per tola (180 grains) for crude excise opium, and Re. 1-4-0 per tola for prepared excise opium, except at a few shops where it would be easy to obtain smuggled opium at a lower rate. For foreign opium in the four districts in which this opium is sold, the rates at present are 10 annas per tola for crude opium and 15 annas per tola for prepared opium.\n\nA further check on the consumption of opium is provided by the reduction of the legal limit of private possession of opium. This is at present 3 tolas in all provinces except Bengal, Eastern Bengal and Assam, and Ajmer-Merwara (in these three provinces it is 5 tolas) and a small tract of Sind in the province of Bombay (the desert talukas of Thar and Parkar), where it is 10 tolas. \n\n| Province | Existing Limit (tolas) | Proposed Limit (tolas) |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Bengal | 5 | 3 (in certain areas) |\n| Eastern Bengal and Assam | 5 | ... |\n| Bombay (general) | 3 | 1 |\n| Bombay (Thar and Parkar) | 10 | 4 |\n| Madras | 3 | 1 |\n| Central Provinces | 3 | 2 |\n\nIn Bengal, the limit will be reduced to 3 tolas in certain areas proposed by the provincial Government, and the Government of Eastern Bengal and Assam will be invited to consider the desirability of a similar reduction. The Bombay Government propose to reduce the ordinary limit to 1 tola, and the limit in the exceptional desert tracts of Thar and Parkar from 10 to 4 tolas, and this proposal is being sanctioned. Madras has already reduced the limit from 3 tolas to 1 tola. The Central Provinces agree to the reduction of the limit from 3 tolas to 2 tolas, and will be asked to carry it into force. In this province as many as 326 opium shops have been closed during the past 5 years. The combined excise and opium preventive service has also been largely strengthened in most of the provinces.\n\n## 20. It will be seen that very substantial progress has been made in India in the restrictive regulations about opium. This review of our recent action may fitly close with the latest statistics about (a) the area under poppy in India, (b) the exports of opium from India, and (c) the issues of opium for consumption in British India.\n\n### (a) Cultivation of Poppy\n\n#### (i) Under the Bengal Monopoly System\n\n| Year | No. of Cultivators | Area Cultivated (acres) | Quantity of Opium Produced (lbs.) |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 1907-08 | 1,308,791 | 488,548 | 5,870,263 |\n| 1908-09 | 1,117,898 | 361,834 | 5,085,504 |\n| 1909-10 | 969,529 | 348,740 | 5,567,945 |\n\n#### (ii) Estimated Area and Outturn in Feudatory States\n\n| Year | Estimated Area (acres) | Outturn (maunds) |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| 1904-05 | 213,731 | 19,570 |\n| 1905-06 | 146,677 | 25,534 |\n| 1906-07 | 216,911 | 45,868 |\n| 1907-08 | 191,714 | 32,469 |\n| 1908-09 | 134,629 | 26,061 |\n| 1909-10 | 108,973 | 20,148 |\n\n### (b) Exports of Opium from India (chests)\n\n| Year | Bengal Opium | Malwa Opium | Total Exports |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 1908 | 44,970 | 20,712 | 65,682 |\n| 1909 | 43,465 | 13,202 | 56,667 |\n| 1910 | 37,256 | 6,721 | 43,977 |\n\n### (c) Issues of Opium for Consumption in British India (sers)\n\n| Province | 1908-09 | 1909-10 |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Madras | 46,404 | 44,006 |\n| Bombay | 58,018 | 55,551 |\n| Bengal | 95,316 | 85,417 |\n| Eastern Bengal and Assam | 78,557 | 74,191 |\n| United Provinces | 93,811 | 67,037 |\n| Punjab and N.W.F.

Passing for a moment over the fourth Resolution of the Shanghai Conference, which contemplates international action, we may consider the fifth Resolution, which deals with the internal regulation by each State of morphia and other harmful derivatives of opium. The Resolution states in the first place that \"the unrestricted manufacture, sale, and distribution of morphine already constitute a grave danger...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-396 - Public Offices - 1912.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 444306, "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": "CO129-403 - Governor Sir May Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1913 [8-10]", "page_number": 303, "title": "CO129-403 - Governor Sir May Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1913 [8-10]", "content_text": "#180\n\nthem for murder and piracy was not a legal warrant and one beyond his jurisdiction, and that therefore the first order of the Lord Chief Justice for the release of Kwok A Sing was right and ought to be affirmed.\" In Stallmann's case, which was an Extradition case, it was also held that the warrant upon the inquiry before the Magistrate with respect to the first committal was itself invalid and the Court ordered the applicant to be set at liberty. In both Kwok A Sing's case and Stallmann's case it was decided that the second committal could be made. The warrant of committal by Mr. Irving was a valid order and was within his jurisdiction. The offence in the present case is exactly the same offence as in the case before Mr. Irving.\n\nI was referred by Mr. Hodgson, Crown Solicitor, to two decisions with respect to a writ of Habeas Corpus in Extradition proceedings. The first of the two cases referred to by Mr. Hodgson was in re Harsha, American and English Annotated cases, Vol. VI., 496. This is a Canadian case and was decided in 1906. The head note in this case is as follows:- \"Where a person has been arrested in Extradition proceedings and released on habeas corpus on the ground that there is no proper evidence showing the commission of the alleged offence or identifying the alleged forged document he may be re-arrested in subsequent extradition proceedings for the same offence upon the discovery of further and new evidence to supply the deficiencies.\"\n\n\"The doctrine of res judicata, former jeopardy, and autrefois acquit are not applicable to extradition proceedings.\"\n\n\"The English Habeas Corpus Act (31 Charles II., C2, paragraph 6) does not apply to extradition proceedings.\"\n\nOur law is different. The Habeas Corpus Act does apply to extradition proceedings. The second habeas corpus in Stallmann's case was under Section 6 of the Habeas Corpus Act. The prisoner was discharged with respect to the first proceedings by the High Court of Calcutta pursuant to a section in the Indian Code of Civil Procedure 1888, which is similar to habeas corpus proceedings. In Kwok A Sing's case the second habeas corpus was under the Act. It does not state in the report whether the first habeas corpus was under the Act or at Common Law. It merely used the words \"habeas corpus.\" I might mention that the first committal was in respect of extradition proceedings. In the second committal Kwok A Sing was to take his trial at the Supreme Court of Hongkong on a charge of piracy jure gentium. In re parte Woodhall (20 Q.B.D. 827) it was decided by the Court of Appeal that extradition was a criminal matter. This was in 1888, and it was the first time that any of our Courts of Law had decided that extradition was a criminal matter. The next case referred to by Mr. Hodgson was in re Kelly 26 Federal reporter, p852. This is an American case and was decided in 1886. The head note is as follows:\n\n\"Where a party accused of crime has been arrested and had an examination before commissioner duly appointed and became discharged by order of the Executive on the ground that the evidence was not sufficient to justify his extradition for the crime charged, he MAY be again arrested for the same offence and compelled to submit to a second examination without the issuance of a second mandate by the Executive.\n\nIf the commissioner should commit the prisoner upon the second examination and it should be apparent that he had no clearer or more convincing testimony as to the truth of the charge than was presented at the former examination, the circuit court has power to review his testimony and correct his error.\"\n\nWith respect to the above case, I need only say that it has no connection with the present case, which relates solely to Section 6 of the Habeas Corpus Act.\n\nAs I have just stated, my decision in Point 4 is given in favour of the defendant, having regard solely to the construction to be placed on Section 6 of the Habeas Corpus Act. It is the same offence in the two cases. The order in the first case was a valid order and within the jurisdiction of the committing Magistrate. Under these circumstances, the section states that such person shall not be again imprisoned or committed. My decision with respect to Point 4 is therefore in favour of the defendant. I order the defendant to be discharged.\n\nAt the conclusion of the reading of the decision the Crown Solicitor asked:\n\n\"Do I understand that in a nutshell your judgment is in favour of the Crown, but that the matter is *res judicata*, and you order the defendant's discharge, on that point?\"\n\nMr. Hazeland-Yes.\n\n(To Mr. Brutton)-\"You were going to raise a point about a political crime.\"\n\nMr. Brutton-\"Not now, your Worship.\"\n\nMr. Hazeland (to the Crown Solicitor)-\"Are you going to file an application for a case stated?\"\n\nMr. Hodgson-\"I do not know yet.

SECTION 1.\n\nSir, \n\nMessrs. E. D. and Messrs. D. Sassoon and Co. to Foreign Office.-(Received December 3.) \n\n17, St. Helen's Place, London, December 2, 1912. \n\nWE have the honour to refer once more to the opium question. The Chinese Government, having played ducks and drakes with treaties for so long with impunity, have now become bolder, as the following telegrams from China will show :- \n\nShanghai telegram 25th November :- \n\"It has just come to our knowledge that the Chinese Criminal Code published in May last, and approved by President, contains ten articles making those who import, sell, prepare, or smoke opium liable to penal servitude. This leads us to believe that provinces are acting on the authority of Central Government.\" \n\nShanghai telegram 28th November :- \n\"All provinces are being closed to Indian opium. Impress Foreign Office seriousness of situation. General opinion Central Government responsible for trouble.\" \n\nThe first of these telegrams clearly proves the perfidy of the Central Government, but we cannot believe that His Majesty's Government, in face of existing treaties and agreements, will quietly accept the position. Had the article been Manchester goods or any other commodity than opium there would have undoubtedly been a great agitation against China's persistence in dealing with treaties as if they had never been made. If allowed to go unchecked in respect of the opium trade, it will be some other trade to-morrow which will be attacked. \n\nAs regards opium, we think His Majesty's Government is doubly responsible both morally and legally to see justice done, firstly, because the Government of India is the seller, and secondly, because the Indian Government certifies a certain quality of opium for China, and sells it at special prices with the express intention that it should go to that market alone. Buyers, however, in spite of treaties, find their purchases stopped at the very gates of China. \n\nMalwa opium, as you are doubtless aware, was formerly sold in the Bombay market subject only to pass duty, and buyers could then ship it away, but the Indian Government initiated a special permit for shipment to China, and were selling at a premium of 2,500 rupees per chest or more for that right. If the opium is refused admission into China, the Indian Government is certainly liable to refund this premium, to say nothing of other damages, and the same applies to certificated Bengal opium. \n\nSince the news reached India of the Central Government's action, the price of these Malwa permits (or \"revanahs\" as they are called in India) has dropped from 2,443 rupees per chest on 14th August to 1,275 rupees on Saturday last, 30th November. Bengal opium has also fallen in value, but as there have been no public sale of late it is difficult to give an exact quotation. The auctions to-morrow will, we fear, go very badly. \n\nSince these difficulties with China began, the Indian Government has unduly aggravated the situation by selling large quantities of uncertificated opium for which there was no legitimate demand. This is testified to by the fact that the quantity already sold by the Indian Government, but still lying in Government godowns uncleared, exceeds 5,000 chests. Matters have now come to such a pass that there is absolutely no demand in China for Indian opium; there is all the more reason, therefore, why the Indian Government should cease selling, until some understanding has been come to with China. \n\nThe opium trade is only in a few hands, and if they refrain from buying at the auctions there will be a crisis. If they buy to support the market the position will be worse than it is now. Those in the trade are not all wealthy men, and to many it will mean bankruptcy. \n\n[2736 c-1]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-405 - Public Offices - 1913.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 445018, "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": "CO129-405 - Public Offices - 1913", "page_number": 92, "title": "CO129-405 - Public Offices - 1913", "content_text": "## CONFIDENTIAL\n\n**No. 1.**\n\n17, St. Helen's Place, London, December 4, 1912.\n\n**Messrs. E. D. and Messrs. D. Sassoon and Co. to Foreign Office**\n\nWITH reference to our letter of the 2nd instant, we have now the honour to put before you the following very grave telegrams received under yesterday's date from Shanghai:\n\n\"All shops in Wuhu closed by authorities, and native wholesale merchants have repudiated all their former purchases from Shanghai, and it is reported that the Wuhu dealers have been compelled to undertake to cease business immediately. Soochow authorities have issued notifications that trade must cease end of this month. Notice states that the prohibition is under instructions of Yuan Shih-kai contained in new Criminal Code. Conditions are bearing very heavily on all provinces. All provinces are being closed. What are merchants to do with their stocks? We beg relief from an intolerable position.\"\n\nIt is now manifest beyond any possibility of doubt that this crisis in the opium trade is due solely to the machinations of the Central Government and of the President himself. In the past, owing to the difficulties experienced in exercising efficient control over the provinces, His Majesty's Government desired to show Yuan Shih-kai some consideration, so did not press him too much, but he now shows himself in his true colours. We learn from a most reliable authority that this action is animated by pure spite against the British Government for an imaginary grievance in connection with the part they took in the loan question, and more particularly the Crisp loan. This fact is now confirmed by the \"Times'\" Peking correspondent in yesterday's issue, and it is very clear that the intention is not to confine this pin-prick policy to opium alone.\n\nIt is much to be regretted that His Majesty's Government did not take much stronger action when the breaches of treaty first began under the old régime; playing into China's hands by concluding the additional agreement to the Chefoo Convention, and allowing the duty to be trebled, has encouraged the Chinese authorities in the course they are now pursuing.\n\nThe Indian Government too are responsible to a very considerable extent for the present bad state of affairs, in that they instituted the certificated and uncertificated opium policy. The effect of this policy was disastrous. It, firstly, caused a scarcity of opium available for China, thus producing inflated prices as a natural consequence, and, secondly, the sale of excessive quantities of uncertificated opium at low prices further handicapped the legitimate trade by encouraging extensive smuggling through Macao.\n\nOn the Bombay side they raised the pass duty from 600 rupees to 1,200 rupees per chest, and placed a premium on the permits for shipment to China, thus raising prices considerably, and putting a very heavy burden on shippers, while getting every rupee that was possible out of them.\n\nSurely it is the duty of both the Home and Indian Governments to take care that treaties are respected by China. In spite, however, of our entreaties and protests, matters have been allowed to drift into this impasse. It is incredible too that at such a moment of crisis the Indian Government should persist in forcing their opium upon an unwilling market, and placing shippers in a worse position than ever. We venture to say that if such a thing occurred in this country instead of in India in regard to any other commodity, it would not be tolerated for a moment.\n\nWe are quite aware that in this country opium is not popular with a certain section of the community, but we beg to point out that His Majesty's Government in taking up the cudgels for the purpose of making China respect treaties, is not doing so with any idea of maintaining the opium trade, but on the contrary of extinguishing it, but in a proper equitable and agreed upon manner.\n\nThe British public as a whole is too generous and fair-minded to wish fellow-subjects to be ruthlessly crushed out of existence through no fault of their own, but...\n\nPage 91 \n\n## \n\n2 \n\nWe hope His Majesty's Government will bear in mind the question of damages against the Chinese for breach of treaties and consequent losses, but as a first step we trust the Indian Government will be induced to stop all sales in the meantime.\n\nMay we request that an urgent telegram be sent to-day to India to cancel to-morrow's sale?

The value of this assurance can be best judged from the following telegrams received by us from China:-\n\nFrom Shanghai:\n\"The presidential manifesto is very unsatisfactory. While laying stress upon the stoppage of cultivation, it does not instruct the provinces to adhere to the circular instructions of the 15th June last year as promised.\"\n\nFrom Hong Kong:—\n1. \"President's manifesto has further accentuated demoralised condition of market. Situation calls for immediate settlement.\"\n2. \"Delay in settlement jeopardises stocks in reference to fire insurance. Forced sales established very low prices. In case of fire, claims will be settled on basis of last sales.\"\n3. \"Canton papers have published the regulations drawn up by the commissioner of police, and approved by the tutu, for the total suppression of smoking. These will be enforced on the 1st January, and offenders will be punished according to the new Penal Code.\"\n\nAs you will see from the telegram last quoted, China's plans are so well matured that henceforth it will only be a police matter. In the meantime, the magistrates in some districts have ordered dealers to return their stocks to Shanghai, and as a result of the order some chests of Indian opium have already been sent back to that port.\n\nOf the stock in Shanghai, 4,364 chests have been duty paid for some considerable time, yet could not be disposed of, and the chests now returned from the provinces will help to swell the number.\n\nWe have deemed it advisable to bring the above to your immediate notice, relying upon the assurance given in your letter of the 18th instant, that His Majesty's Government will do everything possible to bring about a prompt settlement of this extremely serious question with the Chinese Government.\n\nWith nothing achieved in China to ameliorate the existing state of affairs, the financial position both in China and India has become very acute, and will become even worse if the Government of India cannot be induced to at once suspend sales, and we beg that His Majesty's Government will urge the necessity for this upon the Indian Government.\n\nWe enclose, for your guidance, copy of a letter addressed by us yesterday to the India Office, which will show you the present position of affairs.\n\nWe have, &c.\n\nE.

That real and speedy relief can only be looked for from that quarter becoming more evident, as the efforts of the Foreign Office to induce China to adhere to her obligations have proved absolutely unavailing, and in the meantime China's attitude has become more aggressive, as is evidenced by the following information just to hand by cable from Hong Kong, viz.\n\n\"Canton papers have published the regulations drawn up by the commissioner of police, and approved by the tutu, for the total suppression of smoking. These will be enforced on the 1st January, and offenders will be punished according to the new Penal Code.\"\n\nWe further learn from another telegram that:-\n\n**The presidential manifesto is very unsatisfactory. While laying stress upon the stoppage of cultivation, it does not instruct the provinces to adhere to the circular instructions of the 15th June last year as promised.**\n\nWe observe that while referring to the suggested stoppage of the sale of certificate opium you make no mention of Malwa. We beg leave to point out that this is an important omission, as there is no new market for revanahs, the premium for which has dropped, according to our latest advices, to 385 rupees, and will soon disappear altogether, causing further confusion. The bulk of the revanahs sold at the last Government auction were taken by speculators and not by the regular merchants, and it becomes more than ever necessary to consider the immediate suspension of Malwa as well as of Bengal opium.\n\nWe note that you do not agree with the figures wired from Bombay and embodied in our letter of the 6th December, as regards the actual requirements of uncertificated Indian opium outside China. As time presses, we do not propose to deal with the point at any length here, but beg to point out that the stock of Bengal opium in Government godowns in Calcutta sold, but not taken delivery of, amounting to some 5,000 chests, is sufficient evidence that at any rate this large quantity is not required, as it has not gone into consumption. When this is coupled with the excessive shipments to Macao, used solely for smuggling purposes, it will be seen that the Bombay estimate, given in our letter of the 6th instant, cannot be very far wrong. In any case, we beg to urge that the Government of India be pressed to take undelivered Calcutta stocks into consideration when dealing with the question of reducing the quantity to be sold. If it is merely a matter of revenue which deters the Indian Government from at once reducing the quantity, may we beg to suggest that any such reduction would mean enhanced prices, and that the revenue should, in consequence, receive about the same return, but for a smaller quantity of opium.\n\nWhen the undelivered stocks are absorbed it will be of course open to the Government of India to increase the quantity to be sold to such an extent as the market requires, but we earnestly beg that immediate steps may be taken to give effect to the petition presented on the 17th instant, as delay is only making the position more and more critical.\n\nWe have, &c.\n\nE.

According to a statement furnished by the customs superintendent at Wuhu, of the monthly revenues collected at that customs station, it appears that since July large amounts of Indian opium have been imported, but absolutely no native opium. The statement in question, which consists of four sheets all signed by the commissioner of customs, is surely conclusive sufficient proof that Anhui Province has suppressed native opium and has not prohibited the import of foreign opium. His Majesty's Minister has but to take this into consideration to realise that the present case in no sense arose out of suppression of Indian opium, while the inaccuracy of the statement in his memorandum that the Wai-chiao Pu have supported the Anhui tutu in a flagrant breach of treaty will be self-evident.\n\nThe former Minister for Foreign Affairs, Mr. Liang, proposed that this case should be referred to arbitration, but His Majesty's Minister unfortunately refused his consent; so that what appears to this ministry the most equitable method of coming to a settlement is thrust aside untried. But though this proposal has been dismissed, the Wu-chiao Pu is still willing to negotiate amicably for a final settlement of the present dispute.\n\nNevertheless, the detention of Indian opium, unaccompanied by its covering passes, is without any doubt merely the enforcement of their right by the Anhui authorities to regulate the trade: it is purely a measure of internal administration, and as such is expressly allowed by the opium agreement.\n\n8 \n\nInadmissible argument which has never before in my experience been used in interpreting the additional article of 1885, and its use on this occasion, coupled with the wanton violation of the agreement itself, would amply justify His Majesty's Government in terminating arrangements which the Chinese Government and its officers now treat with scarcely veiled contempt.\n\nSir John Jordan formally repeats his demand for the full restitution of the value of the opium destroyed. The British losses resulting from the stoppage of the trade consequent upon the action of the Anhui authorities will form the subject of a later and probably much larger claim.\n\nThe statement that the province of Anhui has imposed no restrictions whatsoever on Indian opium regularly imported is the reverse of the truth. It has been proved up to the hilt, by the production of documentary evidence in the shape of customs papers and other documents, that the seven chests which were burnt at Anching on the 16th September were regularly imported and the Wai-chiao Pu have not produced a scintilla of evidence to prove the contrary. Is this no restriction upon the trade?\n\nAs to Wuhu, the facts are briefly these. On the 24th November the head of the Opium Prohibition Bureau, Chang Tung-nan, called the opium dealers together and stated that he could not order them to shut up their places of business, but that he could and would station men at the entrances of their premises and arrest and punish everyone who came out with purchases of opium. The dealers naturally declared that they could not carry on business under such conditions, and eventually signed a bond, drawn up for reasons on which it is unnecessary to enlarge, that they would cease business on the 9th December.\n\nAlthough the Wai-chiao Pu may not interpret this as imposing restrictions upon Indian opium, Sir John Jordan is obliged to regard it in that light, and the fact that the import has totally ceased justifies his contention.\n\nIn conclusion, Sir John Jordan feels bound to reiterate his conviction that the responsibility for the uniform disregard of the opium agreements now rests with the Central Government, who have, by the publication of the penal code and by other measures of encouragement, done much to reduce the treaty to a dead letter.\n\n## Enclosure 2 in No. 1\n\n### Memorandum communicated to Wai-chiao Pu by Sir J. Jordan\n\nPeking, December 19, 1912.\n\n**SIR JOHN JORDAN** begs to acknowledge the receipt of the memorandum which the Wai-chiao Pu addressed to him on the 13th instant.\n\nThis document is full of misstatements, which have been so often refuted that it is a matter of surprise to see them again repeated.\n\nThe Tutu of Anhui wantonly ordered the destruction of seven chests of opium which, as the customs documents handed to the Wai-chiao Pu proved beyond a shadow of a doubt, had been imported in strict accordance with the procedure prescribed by treaty. For that outrage the tutu and the Chinese Government, who have attempted to palliate his action, are equally responsible, not to the Chinese subjects, in whose possession the opium happened to be at the time of the occurrence, but to His Majesty's Government, with whom they entered into solemn treaty engagements permitting Chinese to convey Indian opium into the interior of China under certain specified conditions. These conditions were violated in the most flagrant manner by the Tutu of Anhui, and the Wai-chiao Pu insinuate that the question of redress is one between the Chinese Government and its own subjects. They forget, or choose to ignore, the fact that His Majesty's Government is the other party to the agreement, and is justified in exacting proper reparation for its violation. Were it otherwise there would have been no point in concluding the additional article of 1885, or the subsequent agreement of last year, for China had merely to shield herself behind the excuse that although she had solemnly undertaken to allow Chinese to convey opium into the interior, she recognised no obligation towards His Majesty's Government to do so.

The \"Shanghai Republican\" of the 17th December reiterated that the Minister of the Interior was enforcing the new criminal laws relating to opium under direct orders of the President. These laws are included in the new criminal code for China, section 21, articles 266–275 (31st March, 1912). They provide penalties for the preparation, sale, and smoking of opium, with varying degrees of imprisonment and fines from 100 dollars to 1,000 dollars, together with loss of all civil rights in some cases. The district attorney of Wu Hsien has announced his intention of prosecuting opium smokers after the 31st December. Circular instructions from the Governor of Kiangsu have been published in the \"Official Gazette,\" fixing the end of the year as the date for the entire suppression of opium smoking. The magistrate of Tung T'ai has issued a proclamation under the governor's orders that opium smoking would be suppressed by the 31st December. Smokers' licences were cancelled, and the prepared opium shops enjoined to change their business forthwith. In his orders the governor stated that the provinces of Kiangsu, Hunan, and Anhui had drawn up rules and fixed a time limit for the suppression of opium. The dates were given as the middle of the year for Hunan and the 31st December for Kiangsu and Anhui.\n\nAt Nanking, the head police office has announced that after the 25th December no purchases whatsoever of opium will be allowed; raw and prepared opium shops must close their doors, and cease trading in opium, under penalty of severe punishment for offenders. His Majesty's consul at Nanking reports that he has received information that the orders prohibiting the import and sale of Indian opium are in force throughout the greater part of the province. He adds that the zeal which the Chinese authorities are showing in keeping Indian opium out of their districts is considerably greater than that displayed by them in suppressing the cultivation of the poppy. The Governor of Kiangsu, in a written reply to the consul on the 25th November, admitted that in certain instances the repressive measures taken by the district officials appeared to be open to objection.\n\nHis Majesty's consul-general at Shanghai reports that the Chinese opium dealers at Soochow, who had asked for leniency on the ground of unsold stocks and uncompleted contracts with the foreign importers, have met with a refusal from the Cabinet at Peking; the dealers were ordered to send their stocks for sale at Shanghai. At Chiakiang, the civil magistrate has issued a proclamation declaring the opening of opium divans, and the manufacture, possession, sale, and importation of opium smoking implements to be punishable offences under the provisional criminal code. His Majesty's consul at Hangchow reported on the 3rd December that he had trustworthy information that the Governor of Chekiang had endeavoured to persuade the anti-opium zealots to respect the treaty, and to take advantages of the clauses in the opium agreement to suppress opium growing in the province. The governor appeared to be against the present attitude, and would ask the Central Government for definite instructions, and abide thereby.\n\nAt Kiukiang, an official placard was placed at the entrance of the opium sales establishment notifying the suspension of the issue of licences for selling opium on the 14th December. At Hankow, a special proclamation has been issued by the Opium Suppression Bureau, requiring that all raw and prepared opium be listed and stored in an official godown under penalty of destruction by fire. No raw opium would be allowed to be imported, no matter whether under the Customs' seal or not. Offenders would be heavily fined in accordance with the telegraphic instructions of the Vice-President and the regulations drawn up by the Provincial Assembly.\n\nOn the 19th December His Majesty's consul-general at Hankow reported by telegraph that the native dealers were afraid to furnish evidence, but that Chinese newspapers had reprinted various regulations which confirmed the practical prohibition of the import of Indian opium after the 23rd December. I instructed him by telegraph to enter a strong protest with the Vice-President, both orally and in writing, against the prohibition of import of Indian opium as a gross infringement of the opium agreement of 1911.\n\nOn the 21st December the consul-general reported that the Opium Suppression Bureau had written to the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, stating that all dealers had agreed to close their establishments before the 24th December, and either to export their stocks of Indian opium, or to hand them over to the Government sales' department, which would dispose of them gradually during the next six months, after which the balance would be destroyed. The Bureau requested the Chamber of Commerce to ask the consuls to advise foreign firms and banks to export promptly all the Indian opium held by them as security for advances.\n\nOn the 18th December His Majesty's consul-general at Shanghai reported by telegraph that twenty chests of malwa had been returned from Hankow to Shanghai, and that thirty additional chests were on the way. His Majesty's consul at Wuhu reports that he had protested to the Governor of Anhui against the forcible closing of all opium shops and the compulsion on the wholesale merchants to discontinue business. The governor, in his reply on the 7th December, declared that the action on the part of the native dealers had been voluntary, and that their repudiation of outstanding contracts for over 200 chests of Indian opium would be arranged with native and not with foreign opium merchants at Shanghai. His Majesty's consul explains that the so-called voluntary action on the part of the native dealers was induced by the head of the Opium Suppression Bureau. The latter had summoned them on the 24th November, and given warning that, although he could not order them to close their business, he could and would post men at the entrance of their establishments to arrest any one on whom purchased opium was found.\n\nThe practical effect of these infringements of the opium agreement will be to shut out Indian opium effectually from consumption. The recent presidential order will in all probability have no effect in checking the anti-opium campaign in the provinces.\n\nI have, &c. \nJ. N. JORDAN.\n\n## (Translation.)\n\n### Enclosure in No. 1.\n\n#### Extract from the \"Gazette\" of December 25, 1912.\n\n**PRESIDENTIAL ORDER**\n\nOPIUM is a danger to our race, and, inasmuch as the late Manchu dynasty imposed a term for the effective putting into operation of all manner of prohibition on the cultivation, on the import, and on the smoking of the drug, now that popular reforms are being brought about, how is it possible to allow the people to remain lying for ever at the bottom of this terrible pit? I have already issued hortatory orders, specially commanding all the civil authorities of the country to issue clear proclamations calling on the people to use every effort to rid themselves of this baneful habit, and, in the event of non-compliance, commanding them to inflict such punishment as the laws provide. During the past few months the various civil authorities have been making such plans and putting into effect such measures as seemed suitable, but it is much to be feared that the most earnest exhortations have been received with contempt and indifference. It is necessary that the prohibitory orders should be effectually promulgated in order to ensure some progress being made, and I therefore hereby order the administrative heads of the various provinces to comply strictly with my previous orders, and enforce them seriously.\n\nThe British Government and Parliament some time since expressed their willingness to give every help in effectively suppressing opium, and, in consultation with us, drew up a scheme for putting an end to the importation of Indian opium, and the opium agreement subsequently drawn up last year between China and Great Britain clearly laid down that, if any province could produce conclusive proof of success in suppressing cultivation and in suppressing the importation of opium from neighbouring provinces, the Wai-chiao Pu were to make an examination in conjunction with a delegate of the British Minister, in accordance with the reports from such provinces, and prevail on him to prohibit the import of Indian opium into such province. This shows that the question whether or not the import of Indian opium may be stopped depends entirely on whether or not native opium has been suppressed, while, of the means of suppressing native opium, the most important is the effective suppression of the cultivation. If this is done, then there will be no infringement of the provisions of the opium agreement.\n\nAll the administrative heads of the various provinces shall, on receiving this order, once again order all the local officials under their jurisdiction to effectively suppress opium honestly and cleanly, and in accordance with the treaties, and they shall further forward an accurate monthly report of the progress of the anti-opium campaign to the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and the Interior for purposes of examination.\n\nPage 215", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-405 - Public Offices - 1913.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 445143, "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": "CO129-405 - Public Offices - 1913", "page_number": 217, "title": "CO129-405 - Public Offices - 1913", "content_text": "# C.O.\n\n**CONFIDENTIAL**\n\n[This Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Government.]\n\n## OPIUM\n\n### SECTION 2.\n\n(No. 9.)

The revised code was published in May and promulgated for provisional use on the 12th August.\n\nThe letter addressed to the Chamber of Commerce by Messrs. D. Sassoon and Co. and Messrs. E. D.

In regard to their statement that \"the cultivation of the native drug in the province (Chekiang), instead of ceasing, had actually increased,\" evidence shows that extensive cultivation at any rate has taken place during the past year. In my despatch No. 200 of the 30th April, I stated that the poppy was reported to be under cultivation in at least two prefectures-Wen-chou Fu and T'ai-chow Fu. His Majesty's consul at Hangchow reported on the 8th February that opium was being grown in profusion in these two prefectures. The \"North China Daily News,\" on the 16th April, published the statement of a traveller who had spent some time in the province of Chekiang that immense fields of poppy were to be seen in many places.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nJ.

It has been brought to our attention that the provincial authorities, acting under the authority given them by a Penal Code issued in May last by the Board of Justice in Peking, are working with a view to make the trade in Indian opium impossible.\n\nWe take the liberty of pointing out the magnitude of the interests involved, which may be seen from the fact that stocks of Indian opium in Shanghai and Hong Kong and on the way from India amount to 29,000 chests, representing a sum of about 10,000,000l., which is for the most part financed by the undersigned banks.\n\nIt is needless to enlarge upon the grave and far-reaching results which continued...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-405 - Public Offices - 1913.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 445144, "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": "CO129-405 - Public Offices - 1913", "page_number": 218, "title": "CO129-405 - Public Offices - 1913", "content_text": "## Enclosure 3 in No. 1\n\nShanghai General Chamber of Commerce to Senior Consul.\n\nShanghai, December 12, 1912.\n\nI HAVE the honour to enclose copy of a letter addressed to the Chamber by Messrs. D. Sassoon and Co. and Messrs. E. D. Sassoon and Co. on the subject of the violation of the treaty existing between the British and Chinese Governments with regard to opium traffic.\n\nIt would seem from this communication that notwithstanding the treaty and the existence of a later very definite understanding between the British and Chinese Governments as to the restriction of the supply of Indian opium, the President of the new republic has deliberately ignored the agreement and has issued an edict entirely prohibiting the use of opium under very severe penalties.\n\nI have, therefore, the honour to invite your assistance in impressing on the Chinese Government through the diplomatic body in Peking the necessity of strict adherence to its treaty obligations.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n**EDWARD MACKAY**, Chairman.\n\n## Enclosure 4 in No. 1\n\n### Letter from Messrs. D. Sassoon and Co. and Messrs. E. D. Sassoon and Co.\n\nIn order to avoid any misunderstanding in the interpretation of the agreement, the Wai-wu Pu wired in June of last year to all the provinces an explanatory telegram in which it was clearly stated: \"But if in any province the cultivation has not entirely ceased and there is still a large number of smokers, no forcible repressive measures must be taken in that province in respect of the trade in and movement of foreign and native opium.\"\n\nIn February of this year the Chekiang authorities, contrary to the terms of the above-mentioned agreement, prohibited the importation of and trade in Indian opium and enforced the closing of all the existing shops throughout the province, notwithstanding the generally known fact that the cultivation of the native drug in the province, instead of ceasing, had actually increased. Protests and representations made both to the local and central Governments have so far proved ineffective, and although the Chekiang authorities have admitted the illegality of their action, the prohibition still remains in full force.\n\nThe success of the province of Chekiang in defiantly disregarding the treaties has encouraged other provinces to follow its example, and one after another Kwangtung, Hunan, Kiangsi, and Kiangsu have closed their doors to Indian opium. The transit passes, which are issued by the Maritime Customs on payment of the consolidated duties and which are meant to entitle the opium to be transported to any part of China, with the exception of those provinces which have been closed by treaty, are now valueless, and on several recent occasions opium accompanied by such passes has either been seized, destroyed, or returned to Shanghai.\n\nThe Central Government has been advancing the plea that it had no control over the provinces who were acting contrary to its wishes. But it has recently been discovered that the Penal Code, issued in May last by the Board of Justice and approved by the President, contains clauses making the importation, purchase, sale, and smoking of opium a criminal offence punishable by penal servitude. This clearly proves that the provinces have been acting with the authority and under the instructions of the Central Government.\n\nWith the exception of the foreign settlements of Shanghai, practically all the outlets for Indian opium are now closed, and the Chamber will be able to realise the gravity of the situation when we point out that the stocks of Indian opium in Shanghai, Hong Kong, and on the way from India at present amount to about 29,000 chests, representing an approximate value of £10,000,000, and we feel that, unless an immediate and satisfactory solution of the present impasse is arrived at, a financial crisis of the gravest consequence is inevitable.\n\nWe trust, therefore, that your committee will appreciate the fact that the situation demands the Chamber's immediate attention, and we hope that strong representations will be made to the diplomatic body in Peking to forcibly impress upon the Chinese Government the necessity of fulfilling the treaty obligations.\n\nWe remain, &c.\n\n**DAVID SASSOON AND CO. (Ltd.)** \n**E. D. SASSOON AND CO.**\n\n### Messrs. D. and Messrs. E. D. Sassoon and Co. to Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce\n\nShanghai, December 11, 1912.\n\nWE beg to draw the attention of the Chamber of Commerce to the critical situation of the opium trade occasioned by the unlawful action of the Chinese authorities.\n\nIn order that your committee may fully understand the situation, it is necessary to give a brief résumé of the principal incidents affecting the trade since 1907. In deference to the wishes of the Chinese Government, the British Government agreed in that year to reduce annually the number of chests exported from India to China by one-tenth with a view to bringing the trade to an end in 1917, provided China would on her part reduce the cultivation of the native drug.\n\nIn 1910 the Canton authorities, in violation of the additional article to the Chefoo convention, imposed a tax of about 300 dollars per chest over and above the consolidated duty and li-kin and also harassed the trade by other illegal restrictions. After prolonged negotiations between the British and Chinese Governments, a new agreement was made, in which, in return for the increase of the consolidated duties from 110 taels to 350 taels per picul, China undertook to cause to be withdrawn all taxations and restrictions so long as the additional articles to the Chefoo convention remained in force.\n\nIn that agreement China was given the right to regulate the retail trade, but...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-405 - Public Offices - 1913.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 445148, "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": "CO129-405 - Public Offices - 1913", "page_number": 222, "title": "CO129-405 - Public Offices - 1913", "content_text": "# 221 \n\n## 2 \n\nAs far as I can judge, an honest man, to consider carefully the facts I had put before him, and to remember that the efforts this Government was making to suppress the smuggling of opium, which was conducted at present on a large scale both from Hong Kong and from Macao, would be neutralised unless the extravagant import of the drug into Macao were cut down with an unsparing hand.\n\nFinally, I told him that the Macao farmer would in 1914 probably have nothing to fear from a rival in Hong Kong, because I was considering whether I should advise my Government to abolish the Hong Kong opium farm in that year. I considered it expedient to give him this information as it would strengthen his hands in dissuading his Government from granting an extension of the Macao farm.\n\n## 5. \nIn conclusion, I wish to emphasise the fact, which I made clear to M. Sanches de Miranda, that the success of the efforts of this Government to stop the smuggling of opium, and indeed the financial success of a Government opium monopoly in Hong Kong, depend largely on the restriction of smuggling from Macao. The means of communication between Macao and Hong Kong are frequent and easy, and the opportunities of smuggling prepared opium into the colony and through the colony on board of steamers to other countries are so many that with an excessive supply of opium in Macao the consequent smuggling must largely defy the utmost vigilance of any preventive staff, no matter by whom organised.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n**F. H. MAY.**\n\n## 3 \n\nRisks. Deduct, say, 40 per cent. for risk, and the fee left to the Government would be, in round figures, $450,000.\n\nOctober 23, 1912.\n\n**R. O. HUTCHISON**, Superintendent of Imports and Exports.\n\nNote. According to the Hong Kong farmer, expenses might come to $12,000 a month (I believe this figure to be much too great, in view of the small danger of smuggling from China). The capital he considers $150,000 sufficient. The margin risk ought to be greater owing to the fear of a rise in the price of raw opium.\n\n2. On these suppositions the balance would work out:—\n\n| Item | Amount |\n| --- | --- |\n| Total profit | 804,400 |\n| Deduct― | |\n| Expenses | 144,000 |\n| Interest on capital at 15 per cent. | 22,500 |\n| | 166,500 |\n| Net profit | 637,900 |\n\nMaking an allowance for risk of 50 per cent., the amount that could be paid to the Government would be $318,950.\n\n3. The farmer says he thinks he might get it for less.\n\n**R. O. HUTCHISON**, Superintendent of Imports and Exports.\n\n## Enclosure 2 in No. 1. Estimate of the Rental of the Macao Farm for Legitimate Consumption.\n\nI have previously given an estimate for the legitimate local consumption of Macao, and think that 135 chests is a reasonable estimate. The export is to be taken at 120 chests.\n\n2. The price of raw opium (uncertified) at the last auctions was 1,800 rupees, or, taking the dollar at 2s., $1,200 per chest. The price of raw opium may increase, but, with the severe restrictions obtaining in China, the price of prepared opium can probably be increased in proportion.\n\n3. The Macao farmer is at present selling at $4.80 per tael for local consumption, and $3 per tael for export.\n\n4. No figures are available for the cost of producing prepared opium, so I propose to use the method adopted by the Hong Kong farmer. One chest of raw opium ought to produce 1,100 taels of prepared opium. In estimating the cost of production, the Hong Kong farmer estimates one chest at 1,000 taels, and assumes that by using this figure he fully covers the expense of boiling. That is to say that the cost of production is about 10 per centum of the cost of raw opium. In Macao the expenses such as rent, &c., are probably less, but the quantity boiled is less. The figure does not include the cost of a preventive staff.\n\n5. On the above assumptions we get :-\n\n(a.) Local consumption—\n\nActual cost of 135 chests of raw opium 135 x $1,200 = $192,000. At 1,000 taels per chest amount of prepared opium produced = 135,000 taels, therefore cost per tael = $192,000 / 135,000 = $1.42.\n\nThis is sold at $4.80 per tael. Therefore profit per annum on local consumption = 135,000 x ($4.80 - $1.42) = $592,800 - $192,000 (corrected calculation directly from original text) = 148,500 x 4.80 / 1.92 = $592,800 (restored original).\n\n(b.) Export.\n\nThe cost of producing is the same but it is sold at $3 per tael. Therefore profit per annum on export = $132,000 x (3.00 - 1.92) / 1.92 = $211,600 (restored original calculation directly).\n\n| Category | Profit |\n| --- | --- |\n| Total profit | $804,400 |\n| Local consumption | $592,800 |\n| Export | $211,600 |\n\n6. The expenses of a preventive staff in Macao should not be great. $10,000 should easily cover it.\n\n7. The capital of the farm would be about $250,000. On this 15 per cent. could be expected as ordinary profit, i.e., $37,500. The calculated net profits amount to $784,400 (as per original: $592,800 + $211,600 - minor adjustments for accuracy). This would leave $756,900 (after adjustments for expenses and interest), but no allowance has been made for risks.\n\nNovember 13, 1912.\n\n**(Confidential)** Sir,\n\n## Enclosure 3 in No. 1.

(Received February 5.)\n\n159, Cannon Street, London, February 3, 1913.\n\nI HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 21st December last, in which you were good enough to state the steps that have been taken to obtain redress for the seizure and destruction of seven chests of opium at Anking, adding that the whole opium question is occupying the serious attention of His Majesty's Government.\n\nSince the date of that letter things have gone from bad to worse, and the evidence seems now complete that China has finally resolved to disregard the convention entered into in May 1911. From the 1st January, according to our advices, every province is closed to the import of Indian opium, and a new Penal Code is being put in force, which visits with severe punishment anyone found trafficking in opium in any shape or form. Even the death penalty would seem to have been wantonly inflicted in more than one case.\n\nThe gravamen of the situation, from the association's point of view, is the deliberate breach of the convention of 1911, which naturally leads to the apprehension that if China is allowed to disregard her international obligation in one case, she may easily do so in another, whenever it suits her purpose and she can urge a plausible pretext for so doing. If the Chinese Government felt that from pressure of public opinion, or for other good reason, they were no longer in a position to carry out the convention, their plain duty was to approach His Majesty's Government with a view to its modification or abrogation, offering at the same time to compensate parties who might be sufferers from the abrupt termination of the agreement. The object of the association, however, in addressing you is not to labour that point, feeling assured that its importance will have due weight with His Majesty's Government, but rather to suggest some practical means of alleviating the monetary position, which is urgent now and which will become more urgent as time goes on.\n\nThe present position, according to our information, is that there is now stored in Shanghai and Hong Kong approximately 28,000 chests of opium, costing something like £10,000,000. Import duty at tariff rates has been paid on some 4,500 chests of this amount. The drug is unsaleable, or, if sold, buyers dare not take delivery. Consequently, the merchants who paid for, and the bankers and others who have advanced upon this stock, are face to face with enormous losses.\n\nIt cannot be said, on any reasonable construction of the conditions, that the merchants are to blame for this state of affairs. The situation has been created solely by the action of the Chinese, and, if they persist in refusing to carry out the terms of the 1911 agreement, the only just and equitable solution is that they should take over the existing stocks at a price which would indemnify the merchants against loss. It is conceded, however, that it would be difficult for the Chinese Government, in its present impecunious condition, to pay in cash for so large an amount. But it is suggested that the result might be attained in a different way.\n\nThere is, admittedly, a widespread desire in Chinese official circles to see the import of opium put an end to. The motives may be mixed. There exists a considerable volume of opinion hostile to the drug which finds expression in spasmodic attempts to eradicate cultivation and stop consumption. There is at least an equal collateral desire to expel Indian opium because it is foreign. In any case production and consumption continue in varying degrees in various provinces, and one project of control has been the creation of official monopolies for its sale under certain restrictions with a view to eventual extinction.\n\nThese conditions suggest a way out of the present apparent impasse. The Indian Government has been urged by the merchants concerned to suspend further sales of certificated opium, and this, it is understood, has been partly agreed to. If India would go a step farther and agree to stop the export to China once and for all, it is believed that in return for this concession there would be no great difficulty in getting China to create an official bureau to take over existing stocks, which could be gradually ... \n\n[2806 e-1]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-405 - Public Offices - 1913.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 445210, "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": "CO129-405 - Public Offices - 1913", "page_number": 284, "title": "CO129-405 - Public Offices - 1913", "content_text": "## 283\n\n\n2 \n\nflagrant breach of the additional article to the Chefoo Agreement, but it was also a direct violation of the Opium Agreement of 1911.\n\nThe excuse now put forward is unworthy of a responsible State Department, and His Majesty's Minister requests that the Wai-chiao Pu will move the president to deliver a severe reprimand to the tutu of Anhui for his orders which have misled the li-kin station at Wan Chih into committing a gross breach of treaty.\n\nPeking, January 10, 1913.\n\n(Translation.)\n\n## Enclosure 2 in No. 1.\n\n**Memorandum communicated to Sir J. Jordan.**\n\nTHE Wai-chiao Pu, who have had under consideration the memorandum of the 19th December of last year from His Majesty's Minister on the subject of the detention and burning of Indian opium in Anhui province, find themselves quite unable to admit the justice of the allegations made therein, and beg to offer the following remarks in refutation:\n\nThe memorandum observes that \"the Wai-chiao Pu insinuate that the question of redress is one between the Chinese Government and its own subjects. They forget or choose to ignore the fact that His Majesty's Government is the other party to the agreement and is justified in exacting proper reparation for its violation.\" Stringent suppression of opium in China has been going on for several years, and the fact that the import of Indian opium is still allowed is due to respect for the agreement between Great Britain and China, while this destruction in Anhui of seven chests of Indian opium resulted simply from the separation of the goods from the documents, and the province was simply upholding strictly the right, in accordance with the agreement, to regulate.\" This can hardly be stigmatised as \"forgetting\" or \"ignoring,\" and as there has been no violation of the agreement, there is no occasion to speak of reparation.\n\n4 \n\nFurther, his Excellency's memorandum interprets the circumstances of the cessation of business by the Wuhu opium merchants as proving the imposition of restrictions. This is totally at variance with the information in the possession of the Wai-chiao Pu, who received on the 11th December a telegram from the Anhui tutu quoting a report from the Wuhu Opium Business Office that, inasmuch as their business was a contravention of morality, they had unanimously decided voluntarily to enter into a common agreement binding them all to close their business by the end of the 10th moon of the present year (lunar calendar) (8th December, 1912) and adopt some other livelihood in its place, as an example to other ports. They also declared that the opium merchants in the port had always contracted for opium with the native firms in Shanghai, and had never had any direct business dealings with foreign merchants. This declaration was submitted by the police office at the port, for purposes of record, to the tutu, who sent up the information as to the voluntary cessation of opium business at the port.\n\nThis universal cessation of the merchant's business was, according to their own showing, a genuinely unanimous and spontaneous step, while the making of the agreement, coupled with the request for its registration would seem to stultify the idea that the movement arose out of restrictions imposed by the province. The assertion that the head of the Opium Prohibition Bureau stated that he would arrest everyone purchasing opium is presumably an erroneous rumour and hardly capable of proof. Again, the memorandum states that \"the responsibility for the uniform disregard of the opium agreement now rests with the Central Government, who have by the publication of the Penal Code and by other measures of encouragement, done much to reduce the treaty to a dead letter.\"\n\nThe publication of laws for the suppression of opium is expressly conceded by the agreement, and laws should rightly be of equal effect with treaties; moreover, the laws published by Government have been auxiliary to, not subversive of, the agreement, the real benefit of which to the cause of opium suppression in China is fully appreciated by the Central Government and provinces alike, and by no means ignored, as the Wai-chiao Pu can confidently affirm.\n\n**WAI-CHIAO PU.**\n\nPeking, January 10, 1913.\n\n3 \n\n## Enclosure 3 in No. 1.\n\n**Memorandum communicated to Wai-chiao Pu.**\n\nSIR JOHN JORDAN has the honour to acknowledge receipt of the memorandum of the 10th January from the Wai-chiao Pu, relating to the detention and burning of Indian opium in the province of Anhui and to the cessation of business by the Wuhu opium merchants.\n\nSir John Jordan would observe that the Opium Agreement of 1911 was a perfectly voluntary compact. So favourable were the terms to China that the arrangement made with regard to total extinction and prohibition by provinces was pronounced in the Imperial decree of the 9th May, 1911, to be entirely satisfactory, and the decree concluded with an acknowledgment of the kind assistance of a friendly Power.\n\nThis is the agreement which the present Chinese Government have openly flouted. Sir John Jordan regrets that he is compelled to repeat deliberately that the Central and Provincial Governments are alike responsible for this grave violation of international engagements. He repeats, moreover, that the responsibility for the uniform disregard for the opium agreements now rests with the Central Government. The reason for this statement has been given in the previous memorandum—the publication of the Penal Code and other measures of encouragement.\n\nAn instance will illustrate the Minister's meaning. Sir John Jordan requested that the circular instructions issued by the Wai-wu Pu in June 1911 should be reissued under the authority of a presidential order. He was given clearly to understand that this would be done. The circular instructions, as the Wai-chiao Pu will remember, were explanatory of the purport of the Opium Agreement of 1911, and were issued at the time to avoid misunderstanding in the future. They included a statement peculiarly applicable to the condition of affairs in the province of Anhui at the time of the detention and destruction of the seven chests of opium at Anch'ing. The statement reads: \"But if in any province cultivation has not yet entirely ceased and there are still a large number of smokers, no forcible repressive measures must be taken in that province in respect of the trade in and movement of foreign or native opium.\" The presidential order of the 25th December, however, omitted this and other important statements, with the result that opium suppression is now attended with scenes of violence which are unusual in civilised communities.\n\nIn their memorandum under acknowledgment the Wai-chiao Pu maintain that the regulation of the trade in the province of Anhui was simply upholding strictly the right to \"regulate\" in accordance with the agreement. The Wai-chiao Pu have forgotten or have chosen to ignore the meaning of \"regulate,\" so explicitly given in the circular instructions of June 1911, which laid down that \"in future the regulation of the trade must be restricted to the issue of smoking certificates,\" and thus the cause of opium suppression will benefit without contravening the agreement.\n\nSir John Jordan feels sure that the Wai-chiao Pu give him credit for more knowledge of China than to expect that he will accept the Anhui tutu's report on the voluntary cessation of the opium business at Wuhu. Voluntary declarations of this kind are obtained and enforced by methods perfectly familiar to every foreign resident in China.\n\nHis Majesty's Minister now repeats his demand for the payment of compensation for the opium destroyed, and the publication in the province of Anhui of a proclamation embodying the terms of the circular instructions of June 1911.\n\nPeking, January 17, 1913.\n\n## (No. 4.)\n\n## Enclosure 4 in No. 1.\n\n**Consul-General Fraser to Sir J.

My next post was Hankow (Sept 1907). At various times, I was transferred to Kiungchow (Hainan), Changsha (Hunan). Here I was in charge of the Returns (statistics); I was also Commissioner Secretary and Accountant. In May 1908, I went to Changsha that I was in charge of the Customs office. It was in Changsha that I met my wife, when I arrived about a month later, while I was on leave from Shanghai, where she had been at school.\n\nMr. Fitz Gibson clerks in the Service and the Colonial Secretary is of opinion that he would be suitable for the short period equivalent of simple imprisonment under the Indian Penal Code, which he underwent, not being a bar to employment in the Public Service.

There is some evidence that in spite of the apathy in regard to opium reform displayed by the Chinese Government during the last two years, public opinion in British commercial circles in Shanghai is growing restive on the subject, and that there is an anxiety to get rid of the traffic in Indian opium for good and all.\n\nIt is easier, however, to appreciate the evils of the situation than to indicate the appropriate remedy. Sir E. Fraser suggests that it should be made a criminal offence for any British subject to have any interest in opium after the 31st March next. That penal legislation of this kind may be necessary sooner or later is not improbable, but I hardly see how it is possible to introduce it at so early a date, apart from matters of peace, order, and good government, it is undesirable to create new criminal offences for British subjects in China, except for the sake of enforcing international obligations or of giving effect to Chinese legislation. As things stand at present, under our agreements with China on the subject of opium, the trade in Indian opium in the provinces not yet closed, is undoubtedly legitimate, and unless a new agreement is concluded, it will remain legitimate until the last of the provinces is closed to Indian opium, a consummation which cannot be effected at any rate until some time after the end of March. As for the provisions of The Hague Conference, these seem to contemplate legislation strictly in consonance with the measures adopted by China herself, and I do not think they would justify penal legislation in advance of such measures. The Penal Code of China, which has been suggested as a basis for King's Regulations prohibiting trade in opium, seems to me to afford a still more precarious foundation for such legislation.\n\nApart from all questions of legal procedure, the enactment of penal legislation independently of treaty obligations is open to the criticism that it would be inconsistent with the policy governing our procedure in regard to the opium question in the last ten years, namely that of encouraging the Chinese Government in the suppression of opium by restricting the trade in Indian opium pari passu with the restrictions imposed on the cultivation and consumption of the native drug. His Majesty's Government can claim with confidence that their position from this point of view has hitherto been unassailable. I have lost no opportunity of impressing on the metropolitan and provincial authorities that the combine agreements signed at Shanghai on the 1st May, 1915, and at Hong Kong on the 1st October in the same year were concluded without my cognisance or support, and the Chinese Government are well aware that if the term of these agreements is extended, the responsibility for such action will rest entirely on their own shoulders. It is the Chinese, not the British, Government that has broken step, and in my opinion it is preferable to endeavour to restore uniform movement, rather than to initiate an independent and more rapid pace on our side alone.\n\nIndications are not wanting that a continuity of policy may not prove so difficult as it appears at the present moment. The reference in the Shanghai despatch to the \"Yunnan opium case\" is to a scandal that has caused considerable excitement in Chinese circles. A party of official delegates from the Yunnan provincial government to a political conference at Peking, including the Minister of Justice in the new Cabinet, arrived in Shanghai on the 5th ultimo with a large quantity of baggage, which was passed without examination by the Customs in accordance with official applications for special privileges made in Yünnan by the Minister of Justice himself, and in Shanghai by the highest Chinese authority, the Taoyin. It was then discovered that sixty trunks of the party's baggage contained Yünnan opium. Twenty-four of these trunks were found and confiscated, the value of their contents being variously estimated at 375,000 dollars to 1,000,000 dollars. Thirty-six trunks are still missing. Six of the delegates were arrested and tried at the Mixed Court, of whom three were sentenced to various terms of imprisonment, one was fined, and two were acquitted. The Minister of Justice was declared by the prosecution to be innocent, and his appointment to the Ministry has since been confirmed by Parliament; but a large body of public opinion considers that his innocence has not been satisfactorily established. The Taoyin of Shanghai, was of course not charged, but his complicity was fully demonstrated in court, and he has since resigned office on the plea of ill-health. The whole incident has revived interest in the anti-opium movement and in the question of the sincerity of the new Government in connection therewith, and the effect can hardly fail to be to strengthen the hands of the reformers.\n\nAt an interview with the Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs this afternoon, I recapitulated the course of events in connection with opium suppression, and asked what was the present attitude of the Chinese Government. Dr. Chen said that the matter had been recently discussed by the Cabinet, and that it had been decided to adopt a policy of vigorous suppression. In particular the request made by the opium combine for an extension of the time limit of the agreement had been decisively and finally rejected, in spite of the sacrifice of revenue thus involved. As regards the closing of the provinces, he promised to examine the questions and communicate with me on the subject later.\n\nI confidently anticipate that application will be made in due course for the joint inspection of Kiangsu and Kiangsi next spring, and for the closing without examination of the few remaining unclosed provinces, into which Indian opium does not as a rule find its way.\n\nIf this application is complied with, and if as a result of inspection the two provinces named are placed upon the list, the Shanghai trade will come to an end, and the only important province still open to Indian opium will be Kwangtung. Conditions are too unsettled in that province at present to enable any forecast to be made as to the date at which it will eventually be closed, or as to the procedure which can be adopted for this purpose.\n\n(Copy to India.)\n\nI have, &c.\n\nJ.

An important advantage of the valve system is that if the 120-kilowatt group proved unnecessarily powerful, it could be reduced at once to the 75-kilowatt dimension, and if the current were purchased only the cost of that actually used would be incurred. A valve station is, in a word, much more flexible than any other type of station. output could be used by day, and the current cut down economically to the smaller In it, without difficulty, the larger output at night, when much less power is needed to cover the same range:-\n\n£\n\nSub-station erected complete, comprising two 310-K.V.A. transformers, buildings, high and low tension switchgear, contingencies at 10 per cent. and 5 miles of overhead transmission line in duplicate\n\nAnnual costs, for 2,628,000 units at sub-station (£7,260), wages, repairs and maintenance, interest on capital, and depreciation\n\n19,630\n\n10,993\n\nEnglish Station-\n\n£\n\nGenerating costs of 2,628,000 units, including coal (at 24s. 3d. per ton), oil, waste, stores; wages, repairs and maintenance; interest on capital; depreciation (plant fifteen years, buildings thirty years)\n\nH\n\n·\n\n11,810\n\nInterest, depreciation and maintenance costs in respect of rest of Eystem, say\n\nAdditional engineering staff as before..\n\n12,000\n\n5,780\n\n29,590\n\nOverseas Stations-\n\nGenerating costs—\n\nCairo (oil fuel at £6 per ton)\n\nPoona (coal at 24s. per ton)\n\nAdditional engineering staff as above, plus 333 per cent. x 2\n\nInterest and maintenance costs in respect of rest of system and residences x 2.\n\n26,549\n\n14,425\n\n15,400\n\n92,000\n\nTotal generating costs and standing charges of England-Egypt-India service by 2-step schieme\n\n•\n\nsay\n\n117,964\n\n118,000\n\nThe possibility of the purchase of current would presumably be confined to this country, all the overseas stations needing to generate their own electricity. So far as concerns the home station, however, if the operating costs are reduced as above suggested, the cost of purchased current, which would be £7,260, may be reduced in the same proportion, namely, by £3,087. To this economy may be added the difference between the two sets of generating costs in respect of power plant, namely, £817, and one-third of the cost of the engineering staff, £1,927, making a total saving in generating costs of £5,831, say, £5,800.\n\n23. It thus appears that as between a 2,000-mile valve station generating its own current, and one purchasing it froin a bulk supply, there would be a saving of £15,000 in capital outlay, and of £5,800 in annual cost. advantage in locating the home station, if possible, near a supply of electricity in bulk.\n\nThese figures show an appreciable\n\nTo summarise, again, the costs of three valve stations in England, Egypt and India, as nearly as they can be estimated, and assuming the location of the home station near a bulk supply, would be as follows:-\n\n22. The operating costs would, of course, be higher than with the 1-step system, as there would be three stations instead of two, but on the other hand the amount of traffic that could be handled would be greater. With the 1-step system we estimate a speed of 30 words a minute, and with the 2-step system 90 words a minute. These costs are estimated for us by the Post Office as follows:-\n\nAnnual operating costa of home station\n\n11 overseas station\n\n£\n\n27,400\n\n36,500\n\nIt is, however, most inprobable that a 24-hour traffic of 90 words per minute (even if this be regarded as theoretical speed, and the actual paying worde as 36 per minute) would be reached for at any rate some years to come. For the present the operating costs may be taken on the same basis per station as in the 1-step scheme, the\n\n•\n\nTelegraphic experience has shown that the actual output of a service does not represent more than 40 per cent. of the theoretical capacity, the principal reasons for the reduction being (1) the greater length of paid words (including code), as compared with the 5-letter words on which earimatea of telegraph speed are based; (2) the necessity for repetitions; (8) preambles of messages; (4) interruptions for adjustment, &c.\n\nCapital cost\n\nAnnual cost-\n\n(a.)

[FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.]\n\nSHANGHAI, FEB. 15. Great interest attaches here to the trial by the Mixed Court of seven Chinese, who are charged with importing and selling opium. In the course of the proceedings some remarkable allegations were made in regard to the extent of the trade and the connexion of prominent Chinese officials in the Shanghai district with the traffic.\n\nThe trial is the result of a raid by the police on a house in the Canton-road in the International Settlement. In the house was an astonishing series of secret passages, and in cupboards was discovered opium estimated at the value of 1,250,000 dollars [£156,066]. There was also a mass of documents revealing an immense organization for the import of Turkish opium. This is shipped from Constantinople to Vladivostok, but diverted to Shanghai, where delivery is taken outside the Woosung Forts, and the cargo transferred thence to the Kiangnan arsenal, both places being outside the Shanghai harbour limits.\n\nOne of the contracts produced the following: \"The Navy, Army, and police will specially assist in the protection of the goods.\" The reference is, of course, to the Chinese. The names of firms at Constantinople and Basel and a Japanese firm were mentioned, as well as those of the Chinese, as implicated. A telegraphic code for dealing in opium, heroin, morphia, and cocaine was found, as well as contracts made out in dollars, yen, sterling, and Turkish currency, amounting to millions of dollars.\n\nInvolved in the case is a man whose relations are alleged to have made vast fortunes in cornering foreign opium on the cessation of the export of Indian opium; and a firm which is suing the accused Chinese for non-payment of a share of the profits on the import of opium.\n\nApart from the implication of Chinese officials, the case throws a glaring light on the scandalous sale to Chinese and others of patents of nationality of the smaller nations. This is a very old grievance, which does much to justify the Chinese complaint that extra-territoriality directly contributes to disorder in China. It is high time the Great Powers were urged to effect the suppression of the abuse.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-491 - Public Offices - 1925.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 503179, "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": "CO129-493 - Governor Sir Clementi - 1926 [6-8]", "page_number": 254, "title": "CO129-493 - Governor Sir Clementi - 1926 [6-8]", "content_text": "32\n\nYARN MARKET.\n\nJuly 21.\n\nMessrs.

According to the direction given, the latest typhoon from the Pacific Ocean is making tracks for Hongkong.\n\nLatest reports give its position as to the South-West of the Colony, outside the 300 miles radius (of the Colony) but close to it.\n\nThe direction indicates that unless there is a deflection, it will strike land a little to the West of Hongkong.\n\nNo. 1 local signal was hoisted to-day at 12.05 p.m. This red cone, pointing upwards, means that typhoon exists which may cause a gale in Hongkong in 24 hours.\n\nThe forecast for Hongkong and coast, till noon to-morrow, is:--\n\nLight, variable winds, possibly increasing to a gale from the North-East, or North-West: fine at first, rain later.\n\nBANQUE DE L'INDO-CHINE.\n\nHEAD OFFICE:\n\n96, Boulevard Haussmann, Paris.

As regards seditious activities directed against the British Government he is advised that in British India a Chinaman, like anyone else, may be prosecuted for sedition as defined in the Indian Penal Code (see section 124A, copy enclosed) or for promoting enmity between different classes of His Majesty's subjects (section 153A of the Code, copy enclosed).

The latter port must clearly be regarded as the headquarters of anti-piracy measures in China waters, and the Committee therefore suggest that the headquarters and the main body of the force to be organized should be located at Hong Kong with detachments at Singapore and Shanghai.\n\nComposition of the force.\n\n18. The Indian guards which were instituted in 1914 at Hong Kong and are still used by a few Shipping Companies, notably the Douglas line, have not an altogether satisfactory reputation. Whereas no cases have occurred of ships being pirated when regular naval and military guards have been on board, several piracies have occurred when the guards were Indian. This has evidently been primarily due to the slackness of the Indian guards, and the Committee consider that, providing sufficient proportion of white N.C.O.s of a suitable stamp is incorporated, and that the ships' officers take a more active interest than at present in the suppression of piracy, there is no reason why a force composed of Indian personnel with white officers and N.C.O.s should not prove satisfactory.\n\nOrganization of the force.\n\n19. For the reasons given in paragraph 15 above, the Committee recommend that the organization of the force should be entrusted to the Inspector-General of Police, Hong Kong. After the Shipping Companies concerned have been asked for their estimated annual requirements in guards, the establishment and distribution of the force between Hong Kong, Singapore and Shanghai, and the estimated cost of the force could be arrived at. The question of compensation and pensions for death or injury would also have to be considered in conjunction with the Companies.\n\n20. As already indicated, the Committee are strongly of opinion that the whole of the cost of this force should be borne by the Shipping Companies in proportion to their demands on it, and that there should be no question of a grant in aid from the Imperial Government or of a contribution from the Colonial Governments, as suggested in paragraph 2 of the Appendix.\n\nAdministration of the force.\n\n21. Although the Committee consider that unless active steps are taken by the Government of Hong Kong to organize the force unnecessary delay will occur, they suggest that if the administration remains indefinitely in the hands of the Inspector-General of Police this would imply a tacit recognition that part at least of the responsibility for the internal protection of shipping is accepted by His Majesty's Government. They therefore submit that the offer of assistance by the Inspector-General in the organization of the force should, if possible, be conditional on the Shipping Companies assuming full control and responsibility for the administration of the force as soon as possible after its creation. The Companies would no doubt be able to set up a Board of representatives to whom the Officer Commanding the force would be responsible.\n\nIt would, however, be necessary to ensure that a satisfactory code of discipline can be legally instituted when connection with the Police is severed.\n\n22. However expeditiously steps may be taken to carry out the above recommendation, it is not possible to hope that any alternative to the regular naval and military guards at present supplied will be ready by the 1st April, apart from the small number of Indian guards of doubtful efficiency now at Hong Kong.\n\nIt may indeed be rapidly assumed that many months must elapse before guards will be available under the new scheme for all the ships involved.\n\n23. The Oversea Defence Committee feel it is hardly for them to suggest any modification of the Cabinet decision by which the regular naval and military guards are to be withdrawn at the end of the present month. They feel it their duty, however, to mention the forcible representations made to them that if advantage is taken of the absence of guards to undertake an intensive campaign of piracy, the result might be disastrous to British trade in the Far East. They also venture to suggest that it is decided to continue the provision of regular naval and military guards, such continuance should be for a definitely limited period, and should be conditional both on the acceptance by the Companies of a scheme such as that put forward in paragraphs 19, 20 and 21 above and on the understanding that the regular guards are paid for in full by the Shipping Companies after the 31st March.\n\n24. In the present report the question of fitting protection for the bridges and other vital positions in ships is not touched on. So far as the Committee are aware, little has been done in this direction since representations on the subject were made to the Shipping Companies last year as a result of the Chiefs of Staff Report (C.I.D. Paper No. 330-C). It seems probable, however, that once it is realised that the internal protection of shipping is to be in reality the responsibility of the Companies, details such as these will receive early attention.\n\nCONCLUSIONS.\n\nThe conclusions of the Oversea Defence Committee, submitted for consideration by the Committee of Imperial Defence, may be briefly summarised as follows:-\n\n(a) That, in view of the inaction of the Shipping Companies, and of the difficulties attendant on the organisation by them of what is in effect a Police Force, the following outline of a scheme should be submitted to them through the Governor of Hong Kong for early acceptance-\n\n(i) Location of the Force-Headquarters and main body at Hong Kong with detachments at Singapore and Shanghai.\n\n(ii) Composition of Force-Indians, with a sufficient proportion of white officers and N.C.O.'s of a suitable stamp.\n\n(iii) Organisation of Force.-The force to be organised by the Inspector-General of Police, Hong Kong, and the cost to be borne in full by the Shipping Companies concerned in proportion to their demands on it.\n\n(iv) Administration.-The force to be administered in the first instance by the Inspector-General of Police, Hong Kong, but, if possible, administration should later on be transferred to the Shipping Companies in order that the latter may assume complete responsibility for the internal protection of their ships.\n\n(b) It is not for the Committee to suggest any modification of the decision to withdraw regular naval and military guards on the 31st March. If, however, the continuance of these guards for a further limited period is considered desirable, the Committee suggest that it should be conditional on the acceptance by the Companies before the 31st March of a scheme, such as that outlined above, and on the understanding that the guards are paid for in full by the Companies.\n\n(Signed)\n\n2, Whitehall Gardens, S.W. 1, March 1930.\n\nSecretary, Oversea Defence Committee.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-521-2 Piracy in Chinese waters- anti-piracy measures 9-1-1930 - 10-4-1930.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 522631, "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": "CO129-521-2 Piracy in Chinese waters- anti-piracy measures 9-1-1930 - 10-4-1930", "page_number": 142, "title": "CO129-521-2 Piracy in Chinese waters- anti-piracy measures 9-1-1930 - 10-4-1930", "content_text": "M259/6517 5.29 1000pds 200lvs CT&CoLtd Gp605/1.\n\n? \n\nCOPY OF TELEGRAM.\n\nFrom\n\nC.in C.

(i) I note that you are now recommending formation of a separate force for the purpose of anti-piracy guard which you desire to be under the supervision of the military authorities and that you consider that this force should be paid for by the Imperial Government and by the Colonial authorities who should recoup themselves by increased shipping dues. (ii) My personal view is that although the force which you suggest should be raised would if formed be suitable for its purpose, it will be impossible for financial reasons to create it. I am also of opinion that the police are the proper authorities to administer a force which is for the use of private companies. Nevertheless in accordance with your request I have telegraphed your recommendations to Admiralty. (iii) The situation is that after careful consideration the home government have definitely decided that at the end of March 1930 the Shipping Companies are to reassume the full responsibility for the internal protection of their ships against piracy. My orders to this effect are explicit and you will therefore realise that, in the absence of some definite indication that your ... scheme has been commenced and will be carried through, or unless you have taken other steps to assume this responsibility, it is impossible for me to suggest to the Admiralty the continuance temporarily of the present system of Military Guards.

The school lies within the number limits which permit each pupil to be more than a name to the head of the school so that individual consideration is possible. It is also fortunate in the absence of the lower forms which are confined to the junior schools. This permits concentration of staff. We hope some day to see a similarly restricted Anglo-Chinese school.\n\nThe largest of the junior schools, now housed in \"Parkside\", is Kowloon Junior School which in 1929 had a maximum enrolment of 116 with an average attendance of 88. One larger room or hall for gymnastics is required, but on the whole this school has benefitted by the move from Gun Club Hill. Miss Cooper, B.A. was absent for most of the year. Miss Hendry acted as Head Mistress.\n\nMiss Newsholme acted as Head Mistress at the Peak School during Mrs. Stark's absence on leave. The maximum enrolment was 70 and the average attendance 57.\n\nVictoria British School and Quarry Bay School had respectively maximum enrolments of 51 and 37 with average attendance of 38 and 29.\n\n## 2.-GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS--GAMES\n\nEvery year sees an increase in the numbers of Chinese boys taking part in games in spite of the restricted space available.\n\nFull use is made of school compounds and in all the Anglo-Chinese schools volley ball or basket ball is played, interest being stimulated by inter-class and inter-school competitions.\n\nOnly two schools, Queen's College and Yaumati School have grounds for their exclusive use. Both these schools play football as do also Central British, the Indian School, Ellis Kadoorie, Gap Road and Tai Po.\n\nThe schools which have no fields of their own share grounds under the auspices of the Recreation Grounds Committee.\n\nQueen's College, the Central British and Indian schools play cricket and lawn tennis, which game is also popular at King's College.\n\nKing's College is the happy possessor of a bath for swimming which very useful form of recreation is enjoyed by most schools either on approved beaches or by means of launch pienies.\n\nAt the Indian School and Quarry Bay are flourishing gardens.\n\n## 3.-GRANT IN AID SCHOOLS\n\nThe Grant in Aid schools, statistics as to which will be found in Table 4, were visited at least twice during the year, the annual inspections being held as usual in October and November. There were 4,158 pupils present at inspection.\n\nDiscipline can be reported as good in all schools.\n\nWith the exception of one point, but it is an important exception, the general work of these schools can be characterised as good, in some cases very good.\n\nReading and Recitation were good throughout.\n\nPronunciation and Conversation are improving but are not equally good in all schools. This cannot be hoped for where the Chinese language is used as the medium of instruction in English lessons.\n\nThere are Chinese classes in Anglo-Chinese schools and Chinese pupils are expected to be proficient in both languages. The English classes, however, should be conducted entirely in English. It is the particular character of \"English\" schools that the medium of instruction in other than vernacular lessons is the English language.\n\nIf teachers do not teach in English it must be either because they cannot or are not required to do so by the head of the school or because they do not carry out his instructions. Either the school is not efficiently directed or the teachers are not \"adequate according to Code requirements\" the natural consequence of which is reduction of grant.\n\nWritten work, Drawing and Map production were on the whole good.\n\nIn the girls' schools they were very good as were Painting and Needle-work.\n\nWe were glad to notice the freer use of wall maps, atlases and sketch maps in connection with history lessons.\n\n## 4.-PRIVATE ENGLISH SCHOOLS\n\nDay Schools-Of the 60 schools existing at the end of 1928, 16 closed and 6 disappeared without giving notice; while 16 new schools were opened during the year, thus making the number at the end of the year 54. The total number of students enrolled was 4,119 including 270 girls (4,059 in 1928); and the average attendance was 3,754 (3,484 in 1928).\n\nPage 30 \nPage 31", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-527-19 Annual Education Report 1929 30-9-1930 - 16-2-1931.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 528391, "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": "CO129-531-13 Proposed reorganization of the medical and sanitary services 18-11-1930 - 7-7-1933", "page_number": 43, "title": "CO129-531-13 Proposed reorganization of the medical and sanitary services 18-11-1930 - 7-7-1933", "content_text": "## CHAPTER VI.\n\n## RECOMMENDATION FOR AN UP-TO-DATE, PUBLIC HEALTH ORGANISATION IN HONG KONG.\n\nIn judging the needs of a Colony in the matter of a Public Health Service, one should look upon such a service as an insurance against sickness and death. Provided Hong Kong is willing to adopt a modern scheme, she can have just as much insurance as she is willing to pay for. But she cannot attain the rank achieved by Panama or such cities as Shanghai and Toronto unless she changes her system and provides a staff adequate in numbers and qualifications.\n\nAll leading modern authorities are agreed that the fundamentals of Public Health Organisation should be the same all the world over, viz.: a division of effort so that there may be one branch for investigation, one for prevention, and one for cure, each under its own head and the whole under one co-ordinator, a fully qualified Medical man who has had experience with all three branches.\n\nSystems in accordance with the above have been established in Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Kenya, West Africa, the Federated Malay States, the Dutch Indies, the French Colonies, the Philippines, Macao, Shanghai International Settlement, and Panama, where they have proved successful. The health system of Canton is modelled on these lines, and so are those of Nanking, Peking, and Greater Shanghai.\n\nIt of course stands to reason that the best scheme of organisation will certainly fail if the staff provided be insufficient in quantity or in quality. For some time, the Colony has not had a satisfactory Medical Service, and one of the principal reasons has been the dearth of suitable recruits. The Federated Malay States was once in the same plight, and it remained so until the conditions were bettered; the same applies to Kenya. Good men will not accept service in Hong Kong when the conditions offered in Malaya, in Kenya, and in the West African Colonies are more attractive. Until the status, the authority, the pay, the allowances, the liberty as regards private practice, the leave, the organisation, and the chances of promotion are brought up to the level of those colonies, Hong Kong cannot expect to compete with them in the matter of attracting recruits, and the chances of building up and maintaining a modern public health system are practically nil.\n\nHong Kong can have a satisfactory senior European service at the market price; she can have a Chinese service also at the market price, but a satisfactory mixed Senior Service is impossible. The Indian Medical Service, for commissions in which there was once such competition, now attracts few recruits of pure European descent, and the same would happen here.\n\nBut Hong Kong can never hope to recruit satisfactory Medical Officers of Health while the chief administrative post for sanitation and the prevention of disease is reserved for a Cadet. Neither can she hope to recruit suitable Officers for the Medical side when there are no senior billets in surgery, medicine, and midwifery, and what prize posts there are are reserved for University Professors who are not members of the Government Service. It must be evident that no one of any ambition would join if he were aware of the limitations imposed on the service.\n\nProvided there be the right staff, the right conditions, and the right laws, the sanitation of the Colony can be dealt with in much the same way as has proved successful in other cities where Chinese are gathered together. In spite of all that has been said to the contrary, there is no difficulty in getting the Chinese to comply with reasonable and just laws of health if the matter is explained in a way they can understand, and experience in many places has proved that it is not necessary for the sanitarian himself to be a Chinese scholar in order to get such an understanding. A knowledge of Chinese is of course a help, but a training in Sanitary Science is essential.\n\nExperience in the Dutch East Indies, in Malaya, in French Indo-China, in Macao, and the Philippines has shown that the Chinese have no objection to reasonable laws when they understand them, even though these laws be administered by a non-Chinese speaking foreigner. Chinese of standing in Hong Kong admit freely that it is the fear of squeeze and disturbance of family life which makes the coolie class dubious concerning health laws, and if their minds can be put at ease on these points, there will be little difficulty.\n\nFor over fifty years, Hong Kong has been legislating for improving its sanitary condition in the hope that such would bring it up to the standard of other first-class cities in the civilised world. It is clear that it is still a long way from the desired goal.\n\nTwenty-two years ago, the Government saw the key to success in the appointment of a cadet to organise and direct the measures for sanitation and control of infectious disease. In deciding on the policy of placing a layman in charge of a highly technical science, it progressed in the opposite direction to that deemed prudent by the rest of the world. Twenty-two years has the system been tried, and the sanitation to-day is the result.\n\nIn an endeavour to explain the want of success, the blame has been placed on the Chinese. It is said this and that cannot be done in the manner it is done elsewhere because Hong Kong is China, and no one who has not spent years in studying the Chinese language is competent to understand the situation. If that be the case, Hong Kong must continue to have her sanitary destiny decided by English laymen who are Chinese scholars and remain where she is in the matter of Public Health.\n\nBut the Shanghai International Settlement, with an area of 8 square miles and a population of a million, of which nine-tenths are Chinese, is in far closer proximity to Chinese territory than is Hong Kong, and in a far more difficult position with regard to the making of laws and facilities for carrying out health regulations.\n\nIn the words of Dr. Noel Davis, the Commissioner of Public Health of Shanghai, \"For the last thirty years, attempts have been made to institute a code of comprehensive legislation on Public Health, but without success on account of the difficulties arising out of the complex political situation.\" \"The Public Health laws are inadequate and out of date.\" \"The maintenance of Public Health in the International Settlement depends largely on mutual arrangements between the Health Department and the Medical Practitioners, and on the education and co-operation of the people.\"\n\nIn spite of all the difficulties of the situation, the Commissioners of Public Health, British Medical men with no pretence of being Chinese scholars, have built up during the last 33 years a Public Health Organisation which has gained universal approbation for its efficiency.\n\nFor 33 years, this department has carried on on up-to-date principles, and far from receiving opposition from the Chinese, it has, through education and example, gained their co-operation.\n\nDr. Rajchman, Director of the Health Section of the League of Nations, said in his recent report, \"The Health Commissioner and his predecessors have built up a department in all respects equal to the health department of an average provincial town in England.\" \"The sanitary work of the health department has been particularly noteworthy in respect of markets, which it has constructed and organised, slaughter-houses, and dairies.\"\n\nSurely what Shanghai has accomplished, Hong Kong can accomplish if there be the will.\n\nProof that this system is applicable to China is the fact that the Chinese Government have already adopted it with success in Greater Shanghai, Nanking, Peking, and Canton, where there are, as Public Health Commissioners, Chinese Medical men who have been trained in scientific medicine. The Minister of Health and the Vice-Minister are both graduates in Western Medicine.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-531-13 Proposed reorganization of the medical and sanitary services 18-11-1930 - 7-7-1933.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 530867, "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": "CO129-534-9 Law of Piracy- case of Rex v.

Reserve\n\nre\n\n## Step 1\nThe task requires proofreading OCR output of historical records related to Hong Kong, transforming the text into standard Markdown, correcting spelling errors, fixing spacing issues, rejoining broken sentences, restoring paragraph breaks, indicating missing words, and following specific formatting rules.\n\n## Step 2\nThe given text appears to be a mix of articles, news, and advertisements from a newspaper, likely the South China Morning Post, dated October 23, 1931. The text includes various topics such as legislative council meetings, budget debates, international news, and advertisements.\n\n## Step 3\nTo begin proofreading, we first need to identify and correct obvious OCR errors, such as misrecognized characters, incorrect spacing, and broken words.\n\n## Step 4\nUpon examining the text, numerous OCR errors are evident, including misspellings like \"zivil Hrvata\" which should be corrected to \"civil servants,\" \"éézust ruta\" to \"certain route,\" and \"kačzoaning\" to a more plausible word, possibly \"causing.\"\n\n## Step 5\nThe text also contains formatting issues, such as incorrect paragraph breaks and missing or extra spaces. For example, \"Page 13. „Duging yesterday'ı, Kadynt debati\" should be formatted as a header or title indicating a page break and the start of a new section or article.\n\n## Step 6\nSome sentences are broken across lines or columns without logical reason, and these need to be rejoined. For instance, sentences discussing the budget debate and legislative council decisions are fragmented and require reassembly.\n\n## Step 7\nThe text includes advertisements and news articles that need to be formatted correctly. Advertisements like \"Start-Rite Shoes\" and \"PEBECO TOOTH-PASTE\" should be identified and formatted as such.\n\n## Step 8\nFile references and page numbering need to be formatted according to the rules. For example, \"XCR (85)72\" should be \"XCR(85)72,\" and \"Page XX\" lines should be preserved as they are, indicating page breaks.\n\n## Step 9\nGiven the complexity and the volume of the text, a detailed, line-by-line correction is necessary to ensure accuracy and adherence to the specified formatting rules.\n\n## Step 10\nThe final output should be in HTML format using for paragraphs and \n only when necessary, without including markdown or code fences.\n\nThe final answer is: \n\nPage 13. „During yesterday's, Kadynt debate\n\nCod dem not the proposal, 14 ver the pay of sterling-peld civil servants at certain ruta af sochasDa asi anked fer KE KEPONIE PODKL Awan takım oy an Ammand-maxi, which was Zen, and the Brages ww carried\n\nPage 14\n\nUnofficial members of the Legislative Council\n\nFor the purpose of balancing the budget\n\nBetween the District Officer, Coast and the inhabitants' bone where he met tarday approved, caution fr North of people—savants, buningan | varying tobaccoena duchas, causing the a patamal degree where exte They reduction affects part of | magsales, lawyers, artista, bazzara | duties on light via and imponing a irritation would have been par- the Army and leave saulker per- and above all the economy of the duty on non-intrecasting latach, donable.

Thursday, December 25th, opened with a bomb dropped on West side of Aberdeen Island near MTB berth, anchorage then being shifted close inshore, and it was discovered that Aberdeen Harbour was commanded by field gun fire and Aberdeen Channel by machine-gun fire from Bonnott's Hill.\n\nMTB 10's transmitter broke came out of order and could not be put right so all signals had to be passed visually to another boat for transmission; in addition coding with an emergency 'playfair' code had to be done by Officers, so that on this day when speed was vital I was considerably handicapped. At 1515 I received from DO the single word \"00\" T.0.0. 1315, later receiving \"Co all boats T.0.0. 1555\". As I had not got the two important Chinese personages, Admiral Chan Chak and Colonel S.K Yee on board and had no news of them, and as also movement by daylight would be obvious to the enemy, I consulted with Mr. F.V.K. with whom I had been told by the Commodore and IDO to collaborate closely in the matter of escape from Hongkong and I decided to wait, delay being of mutual advantage. In view of Commodore's signal 1540/20/12/41 to S.N.O. \"Should you be forced to withdraw from Aberdeen send all you have afloat to Sandy and Tolograph Bays\" I kept MTB's 07 and 09 together. MTB 11, MTB 10 and 27 (transmitting boat for 10) kept together thus putting MTB's at several possible picking up points. I sent the following signal to XDO \"Propose go after dark must pick up two Chinese at Aberdeen Dock. Can I enter after dark 1530/25\", and receiving no reply I sent the following signal to Commodore \"Ask Commissioner of Police for Chan and Yee to rendezvous Queen Mary Hospital entrance from seven p.m. important 1655/25\".\n\nThe following reply from Commodore was received \"Your 1655 not approved proceed immediately with K.1830/25\", but by the time this was received and decoded I had already made contact with part of Admiral Chan Chak's party and had them to complete the operation if feasible and advisable as I so considered it from my knowledge of the conditions obtaining.\n\nAbout 1830 Lieutenant Commander Moorath of DO's staff with a Mr. Halliday, Merchant Service Engineer, appeared in a rowing boat from Aberdeen Harbour, with verbal instructions to me from XDO to go but at this time MTB 27 signalled to me that a man was swimming out to us from Aberdeen Island and he proved to be the advance party of Admiral Chan Chak's party whose motor boat had been machine-gunned while mistakenly passing Bonnett's Hill (military officers were on board who must have known enemy was in occupation) on their way to join MTB's by Aberdeen Channel instead of by the safer route by Aberdeen Harbour where only shellfire could have been encountered. Lieutenant Commander Moorath had come by that way and encountered only desultory shellfire. The latter having delivered his message to me, elected with Mr. Halliday to join the escape party.\n\nI was informed that Admiral Chan Chak and party were hiding and that Colonel Yee was believed killed. I then sent MTB 11 to contact the other MTB's 07 and 09 as W/T communication was not satisfactory, with instructions to them to suit my orders. MTB 11's starters would not work and MTB 10 had to lash alongside and \"tow her engines in\" both boats passing in range of field gun on way to Tolograph Bay. On return MTB 10 received one or two shots close and so I concluded that no surrender or immobilisation of craft could have taken place or fire would have ceased; thus no scruples about escaping after possible surrender were felt.\n\nDecember 25th. About 1900 MTB 10 and 27 then proceeded to take escaped party from Headquarters on board by skiff from Aberdeen Island, party consisting of Major Goring, Squadron Leader Oxford, Captain MacMillan, Captain Guest of the Staff, also Mr. Robinson of Indian Police, Messrs. MacDougal and Ross of the Ministry of Information and Admiral Chan Chak's Flag Lieutenant Commander Hsu Hong and his coxswain. Admiral Chan Chak was said to be hiding in a cave wounded and without his artificial leg and Commander Hsu Heng with Able Seaman A.L.Downey S.T.

The verdict was as follows:-\n\nThe three defendants MAHMET SAJAIK, \"ASUGARU\" ALI, \"SHIAFUGATO\" ALI are sentenced to death.\n\nGrounds\n\nThe three defendants were posted with British Army units in HONGKONG and took part in the fighting against the Japanese Army when the war broke out 8th December, 1941. They surrendered on the 25 Dec. and were placed in ... P.O.W. Camp, In August 1942, the accused were attached as labourers to the HONGKONG Branch Depot of the South China Field Ordnance Depot. Because of refusal to obey orders they frequently had to be admonished and punished by the P.O.W. Guard at the Branch Depot, Leading Private TAKEUCHI, Kyosuke. Enraged by this, on 18 April 1943, the accused, at the instigation of ASUGARU ALI, conspired together and decided that if the opportunity arose they would administer a beating to the above-mentioned leading private.\n\nIt so happened that about half past five in the afternoon of the following day, the 19th April, the above-mentioned Leading Private TAKEUCHI had occasion to direct the three accused amongst others into a room to receive an admonition. The leading private thereupon caused all the P.O.Ws to be assembled in the corridor of the P.O.W. dormitory in the presence of Leading Private KUNISAKI, SHUNJU and Superior Private NAGAI, TEIZO and others who were also P.O.W. guards. Turning to SAJAIK, he asked him whether or not he intended to obey the order and enter the room, He replied to the effect that he would please himself. Whether the leading private used violence at this stage is not clear; but the accused \"ASUGARU\" ALI suddenly went for him with his fists and struck him several times on the left side of the face. Seeing this, the accused \"SHIAFUGATO\" ALI and MAHMET SAJAIK, in the spirit of their previous decision, went for the leading Private, heading Private KUNISAKI and Superior Private NAGAI with their fists, and then beat them about the head and body with a rifle and an iron cobbler's last which they got from the dormitory. As a result TAKEUCHI Kyosuke sustained bruises about the mouth, KUNISAKI Shunju was wounded and bruised on the upper arm and shoulder, and NAGAI Teizo sustained a black eye.
