Mr Pollard then opened the Demurrer. Judge only, considering the undue influence on his judgment which such a Having enumerated a number of propositions, and having cited cases from the earliest times to the present, he objected at other points to the second plea as being too general. He cited cases in which a crime was charged in the libel, and he contended that the specific charge must be made as if the libelled person were on his trial for the offence. It seems to me that the doctrine, with curious illustrations in Stark on Libel 236, is according to the cases where by the libel an indictable offence is charged.\n\nWith reference to the statements which the Attorney General made in that letter, as he had not been present he could write only from information given to him, and as to which I only think he has been misinformed, when he treated as a favour to him, that apply where the libel does not impute an offence nor even then when the Defendant had been allowed to plead such Plea of Justification, whereas the Acting Attorney General had expressly admitted it to be the Defendant's right so to plead. And as to costs, they on more than one occasion were admitted on both sides to necessarily follow the event by force of Ordinance No. 4 of 1857. How with Lord Mansfield's dictum (Sir W. Black. 514) before him he could as in that letter he said he should do, and as he did, give a locus standi to the counsel of any private prosecutor or complainant I am at a loss to conceive,\n\nmy declining to hear him otherwise read as the nature of the case will admit, and reading the plea in a plain common sense way, I think that in an ordinary case and pro forma in the prosecution.\n\nI feel that the reading this letter in Court was unconstitutional and that it has greatly increased my difficulties. It is the expression of the views of the Attorney General, and of him alone, and I will not consider it in whatever terms expressed as expressing any opinion much less decision by the Executive, who ought not constitutionally to have been mixed up by the Attorney General in the question before me. The Attorney General, and he only, is responsible for the conduct or discontinuance of every ex officio Information, for it is he who prosecutes and he alone ought to appear or can be recognized by this Court in it.\n\nThe words of, I think, Cowper recurred to me \"We murder to dissect.\" I had understood the plea as meaning something as a whole; thus dissected, it was a dead body without sense or meaning. Mr Pollard's most serious attack on this plea was this, that whereas it appeared to profess to be a denial of the use of the words with the meaning imputed to them, and a justification of them as true in their natural sense with that sense explained by the Defendant's own innuendoos, according to the form set out in Bull & Leake 2nd edit. (1862) page 613, Mr Pollard was the fortunate possessor of the only copy of a patent third edition of the same work (1868) just arrived.\n\nIt was admitted that every point...\n\nBut\n\n145\n\nthe consideration to inform This passage is inexplicable - Shad\n\nthe Court of the course which as Attorney General on my return to the Colony & proposed to take with the approval of the Executive in respect to this troublesome case which had been hung up for many months awaiting my return and for that my official conduct is publicly stigmatized as unconstitutional and discourteous.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-137 - Sir MacDonnell - 1869 [4-5].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 278136, "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": "CO129-137 - Sir MacDonnell - 1869 [4-5]", "page_number": 149, "title": "CO129-137 - Sir MacDonnell - 1869 [4-5]", "content_text": "C. I apprehend that however obsolete it is still more rare in these days that the question of Libel or no Libel should be decided by a Judge or by a Jury.\n\nInstead, I have arrived, in which that form is abandoned in amation. In several respects and in particular addressing myself to what has been called the sting of the Libel, there is not a word which could convey to the mind of anyone a notion that any portion of the £2,000 alleged to have found its way to Lisbon had reached the hands of Senhor Ameral as a bribe or money gift to him. The tenor of the whole is indeed that his gratitude towards, his zeal for, his constituents, not any money bribe, had incited him, and that that money was used, not to stimulate his zeal, but to further and aid his efforts as well. Money is used, it may be lawfully, it may be illegally, to carry elections or political measures or railway or canal undertakings in England.\n\nAgain, at the end of the alleged Libel, in what is called the second count, occurs this innuendo (\"meaning as before alleged of and concerning the Bull. and Leake 2 edit. of 1862 is not still false malicious and defamatory libel firstly hereinbefore set forth\"), words which import all the innuendoes or it may be only the last. Mr. Bayllar, for the Defendant, ridiculed the dissection of his plea by Mr. Pollard and submitted that taken as a whole it was a full answer to the information, which he contended consisted in form and in substance of one count only.\n\nBut he was less careful to sustain his own plea than to attack the information, which he insisted was bad, for that, taken by themselves, the two articles were simply fair comment on the public conduct of public men in reference to matters of the greatest public interest, and still more by reason that the meaning put on the libel by the innuendoes was such as the language would not and could not bear, and consequently that I must decide against it.\n\nI must say, I strongly incline to think that both counts of the information (if indeed they are so framed as to be two counts, as to which I give no opinion) are bad, and the Attorney General is bound by the meaning he puts on the alleged libel by the innuendoes now; to use the words of the Chief Justice Tindal, it is a clear rule of law that an innuendo cannot introduce a meaning broader than that which the words naturally bear, unless connected with proper introductory averments.\n\nThe well-known case of Rex v. Haurkey, 8 East 427, is the best illustration of this rule. Alexander v. Angle in Error 1, Crompton & Jervis 143 and see 5 East 467-469. I incline to think that the innuendocs here do throughout introduce meanings broader than the words bear.\n\nIt is unnecessary for me to consider whether any averments could have cured this defect.\n\nIt seems to me that the parties have been perplexed by rules of pleading, the Acting Attorney General in reference to his innuendoes and the Defendant as to the particularity of his plea, and especially by Bremridge v. Latimer and days have been wasted in argument when any common sense procedure could and would have easily defined—nobody doubted the real issue between the parties with certainty and precision.\n\nThe English pleading procedure has been abandoned everywhere under British Rule in Asia except in this Colony. In India, another system prevails, and for the Consular Courts of China and Japan, the Foreign Office has wisely prescribed a system of admirable rules as to procedure which simplifies the preliminary process.\n\nIt seems to me that the words of the alleged libel are incapable of the meaning ascribed to them in the innuendoes in the information.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-137 - Sir MacDonnell - 1869 [4-5].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 278814, "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": "CO129-138 - Sir MacDonnell - 1869 [6-7]", "page_number": 383, "title": "CO129-138 - Sir MacDonnell - 1869 [6-7]", "content_text": "authorised in that behalf, into and upon the said demised premises, or any part thereof, in the name of the whole, to re-enter and the same to have again, retain, repossess, and enjoy, as in Her or their first or former estate, as if these presents had not been made, and the said Adolphus Edward Shelley, his executors, administrators, and assigns, and all other occupier of the said premises, thereout and thence utterly to expel, put out, and remove, this Indenture or any thing contained herein, to the contrary notwithstanding.\n\nIN WITNESS whereof the said Adolphus Edward Shelley hath hereunto set Hand and Seal, the day and year first above written.\n\nSigned, Sealed, and Delivered at Victoria, Hongkong, in the presence of M.

The Guilds had had some correspondence recently with certain of the Companies, which however had declined to take any action.\n\nMr. Fletcher explained that the Hong Kong Government were in complete sympathy with the views of the officers and that they had hoped that their announcement would have the effect...\n\n28 It was agreed by the official members to recommend that the fitting of some form of wireless apparatus, and the carrying of trained operators, should be made obligatory and that as a corollary the Admiralty should consider what steps should be taken to render the Naval vessels patrolling the Danger Zone continuously able to receive distress calls from river steamers. It was however decided (with the assent of the representatives of the Guilds) that in view of Mr. Leake's statement, the recommendation should be deferred until it is known whether the experiments with automatic apparatus are successful or otherwise.\n\nA vessel fitted with such apparatus was now on its way to India, and on its return it would be known whether it could be regarded as sufficiently effective to be licenced by the Board of Trade.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-487 - Others & Individuals - 1924.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 504822, "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": "CO129-496 - Public Offices - 1926", "page_number": 87, "title": "CO129-496 - Public Offices - 1926", "content_text": "Lave been apparent from the \n\nwhich \n\nCould \n\nF.O.

Hongkong 5/67/3 of 6th October, 1945.\n\n32\n\nGeneral Pan, Colonel Williamson and Colonel Lew came to stay at Government House. Captain E.R. Bilbyard-Leake, DSO, RN (Retd.), Naval Attaché at Chungking also arrived for a short visit.\n\n11th September,\n\n33. During the forenoon of 11th September H.M.C.S. ONTARIO, H.M.T.S. LLAN STEPHAN CASTLE and GLENGYLE and H.M.S. STRIKER arrived with the 3rd Commando Brigade under the command of Brigadier C.R. Hardy, DSO, RM. Taking passage in ONTARIO was Major General F.W. Festing, CBE, DSO, General Officer Commanding Land Troops, Hongkong, and a small staff. The Commando Brigade commenced disembarkation at once, two Commandos going to Kowloon and one to Victoria.\n\n12th September.\n\n34. On 12th September I convened a meeting of the several Landing Force Commanders, General Pan, Brigadier Hardy and other Commando officers to arrange for the Army to take over certain areas now patrolled by the Navy and R.A.F. Major General Festing took over control of all forces employed on the preservation of law and order.\n\n13th September.\n\n35. On 13th September at 2100 a proclamation was issued re-introducing the Hongkong dollar at the rate of 1/3d sterling the following day. The Hongkong dollar was in no way tied to the Japanese Yen which had been current until now. The supply of actual dollar notes was small and limits were imposed on the amount that could be drawn from banking accounts and by the Services. The basic rates for day by day labour were fixed at $1 for unskilled labour, $1.50 for semi-skilled, domestic servants, etcetera, and $2.00 for chargehands. The price of rice was fixed at 20 cents a catty.\n\n36.\n\n14th September\n\nIt was expected that there might be trouble on 14th September over the introduction of the new currency and consequent inflation of the Military Yen, but although most of the shops were closed, there were no incidents.\n\n37.\n\nDUKE OF YORK arrived and secured to the only buoy afloat in the harbour. She was wearing the Flag of Admiral Sir Bruce Fraser who was returning from the surrender ceremonies at Tokio.\n\n38.\n\nA detachment of Commandos went by train, run by Naval and R.A.F. personnel, to Fanling, rounded up about 800 docile Japanese troops and brought them back to Kowloon.\n\n15th September\n\n39. On 15th September I took Admiral Fraser for a tour of the Colony, the Island of Hongkong in the forenoon and Kowloon in the afternoon.\n\n40. Some light was thrown on the continued delay in obtaining permission to sign the formal surrender by a signal from London to Chungking showing apparent misunderstanding in co-ordination. However, this was cleared up by a further signal during the night and the ceremony for which we and the Chinese and American representatives had waited so long was fixed for 1600 the following day.\n\n16th September/", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-591-18 Liberation of Hong Kong- arrangements for Japanese surrender 15-8-1945 - 19-4-1946.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 577493, "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": "CO129-591-18 Liberation of Hong Kong- arrangements for Japanese surrender 15-8-1945 - 19-4-1946", "page_number": 251, "title": "CO129-591-18 Liberation of Hong Kong- arrangements for Japanese surrender 15-8-1945 - 19-4-1946", "content_text": "250\n\n28.
