The examination of WILLIAM LOCKHART, Surgeon, taken on oath, &c., &c.\n\nThe last witness Ching-ke was brought to me [at the Chinese Hospital] from H. M. Childers on the morning of the 16th inst., with an injury to his left foot. Apparently a musket shot had struck him on the first joint of the great toe, breaking the bone and laying open the joint. Sloughing had commenced, and great formation of matter around the wound and behind. I consider it a dangerous wound, and that his life is in danger from it.\n\nWILLIAM LOCKHART, M.R.C.S.\n\nTaken before me, &c.\n\nShanghae, &c.\n\nThe examination of WILLIAM ROGERS, M.D., Surgeon of H.

I went on board the Schooner Spec by Commander Pitman's order on the 23d instant. \"I saw three wounded Junkmen, one of them the witness recently examined, Ching-ke, and the other two had only received contusions and the injuries were slight. I asked how the injury had been received? The prisoner present, William Cole, said he thought it was by a grape shot. I heard William Cole say that he had fired into the Junk. I considered it necessary that Ching-ke should be removed for treatment, as the consequences of such wounds are frequently dangerous. I heard the answer of the Admiral interpreted to Captain Pitman, that the Junk in question was a proper Junk, by which I understood not a piratical vessel.\n\nWILLIAM ROGERS, M.D., Surgeon.\n\nTaken before me, &c.\n\nShanghae, &c.\n\nThe examination of JOSHUA BERKELEY, Esq., mate on board H.

I returned with this answer, and was again despatched with orders to the master to be on board H. M.'s S. Childers with his Log and papers within half an hour. The next day I was on board the Junk and saw the marks of several shot holes in her side and one in her stern. She was empty, I only saw some nets and bait on board.\n\nJOSHUA BERKELEY.\n\nTaken before me, &c.\n\nSHANGHAE TO WIT,\n\nThe examination of George Johnson, native of England; Mariano Alvesto, Juan Nasicio, Jan Nacion, natives of Manila; Levis Sept, native of Antigua; Striano de los Santos, Lucas Manoel, natives of Manila; Ephraim Francis, native of England; Lorenzo Santos, Mariano Augustine, Gabriel Calistro, Sebe Mariano, natives of Manila; Lith-Ayih, native of Chusan; Ching-Lea-Ching, native of Ningpo; Al-Aneung, Wang-Yuh-Fa, natives of Chusan; William Cole, native of England; Yum-Ching-Ming, native of Chusan Taken this twenty-ninth day of June, in the Year of our Lord One Thousand Eight Hundred and Forty-eight, before me Rutherford Alcock Esquire, Her Britannic Majesty's Consul at Shanghae aforesaid, the said George Johnson, Mariano Alvesto, Juan Nasicio, Juan Nacion, Levis Sept, Mariano de los Santos, Lucas Manoel, E.

B. M. Sloop Childers, for that on the 1st day of June, in the Year of Our Lord One Thousand Eight Hundred and Forty-eight, being on board a certain vessel or schooner called the Spec in a certain place on the high seas near the sand called the \"Ruggeds\" on the coast of China, did piratically, feloniously, and violently with force and arms, attack, board, and take possession of a certain Junk or vessel, the property of a certain Chinese subject named Kwo-kin, the owner thereof, and did feloniously fire into the said Junk or vessel, whereby the said Kwo-kin the owner together with several of the seamen on board thereof were killed, and did take and carry away certain stores and apparel belonging to the said Junk, and certain Goods and Chattels belonging to the said owner and divers of the seamen on board. And the witnesses against them being examined in their presence, they are now asked by me if they wish to say anything in their own behalf; whereupon they answered they had no defence to make.\n\nRUTHERFORD ALCOCK, Consul.\n\nShanghae, &c. The examination of KEW-TSAK-KIN, the day of July, &c.\n\nI was put on board the schooner Spec by a public body of Chinese merchants, and took no pay from the master of the ship.

J. D. ANDREWS, Clerk\n\nQuestions asked by Commander J. C. Pitman, of Ching-chong-ke (the Chinese Admiral in charge of 7 junks), on board his vessel.\n\nRugged Islands, the 23d of June, 1848\n\nHas the English schooner Spec any right to be here?-No.\n\nWhether he knew what the English schooner Spec was about there?-Did not know.\n\nDid he know whether the Junk taken by the Spec was a pirate or not?-Did not know.\n\nDid he know what the schooner Spec was about with the Junk?-Did not know.\n\nWhether the Captain of the schooner had brought any of the crew of the junk on board to him, or made any complaint to him relative to the junk?-\n\nWhat became of the crew and cargo of the junk?-Taken on board the Spec, he believed.\n\nIs that English schooner any right to take the junk?—No\n\nDid he know why the Captain of the Spec did not bring the crew of junk on board his vessel?-Did not know.\n\nAfter the 2 Chinamen belonging to the junk and the mate of the Spec had been taken on board the Mandarin's junk, the following Questions were asked.-\n\nWhether the papers of the junk were correct?—They are all proper and correct, and signed by the proper authorities.\n\nIs any complaint to make against the schooner?—No.\n\nWhat cause had the schooner Spec to take that junk, whether it was proper to do so, and if the Chinese Mandarins like it?—The junk's papers are proper, but she had no business to have so many arms on board. The English vessel did wrong to take her; she has a right to carry arms. If the Chinese Admiral likes, the arms shall be returned to the junk—Part of them.\n\nIf he likes, remainder shall be sent to him or thrown overboard?—To be sent to him. Which was done.\n\nCaptain Pitman then told the junkmen that their junk, rice, and part of their arms, would be returned to them, and they would be allowed to go on with their fishing. They said they would return to Chin-hai.\n\nCaptain Pitman told the Chinese Admiral that the English schooner Spec had fired into the junk and wounded 3 men, and that one of the wounded men would be sent to the Shanghae Hospital for medical treatment. He said it was a bad affair, but was much obliged.\n\nAre you now quite satisfied that the junk is not a pirate? Yes, she is a fishing Junk of Chin-hae.\n\nI, John Charles Pitman, Commander of Her Majesty's Sloop Childers, do solemnly declare that the above is a true statement of my Questions and the Answers made to same, &c. In witness whereof I hereunto attach my signature this 23d of June, 1848.\n\nJ. C.

At six o'clock on the morning of that day, the Childers being then about\n\nPage 365\n\nfive miles from the shore, I saw a schooner and a Chinese junk was in company with her; looking with the glass I judged the junk to be almost a quarter of a mile from her, but it was impossible to judge correctly at that distance; the junk was standing into a bay, in the same way as the Spec (afterwards found the schooner to be) The junk and the schooner between 8 and 9 that morning anchored in a bay there close to each other; in the bay were three mandarin junks and some fishing-boats. It was calm, and we were obliged to anchor at A. M. between two and three miles of the schooner. During the forenoon we observed the schooner and junk apparently alongside of each other. I saw that some things were being discharged from the junk into the schooner, and refuse, floated past the Childers; from the direction in which they floated I supposed they had been thrown over from the junk; the tide flowed in a right line between the junk and the Childers. At 4 P. M. that day I weighed and made the Childers down to the schooner. I anchored about half a cable from her, and found the junk about half a cable's length nearly astern of her. I found the schooner to be the Spec. In consequence of a message sent by me on board the Spec at 5.30 P. M. that day, prisoner Cole came on board the Childers, bringing a Log-book and some Ship's Articles (witness produces them) which he affirmed to be the Log-book and Articles of the Spec. He said that he was acting as master of the Spec for another person who was absent at Ningpo. I asked him what he was doing there and what he was doing with the junk; he said he had captured her. I asked him if he had had any communication with the Mandarins, and what he had done with the people belonging to the junk; he said No to the first question, and to the second that the people were on board the Spec. I then asked him why he had not taken these men to the Mandarins, or brought them to me, as I had been in sight of him all day; he said he did not know. It was getting late and I told him that I should examine his vessel in the morning. He said in reply to any questions that he had not put in for stress of weather: that he was from Ningpo, and did not know any place in particular to which he was bound; that the junk had not fired at him or molested him, but that the pilot had told him that she was a pirate. I asked him why he had hailed her. He did not reply to this, before nine o'clock next morning I went on board the junk and examined her; I found that everything had been taken out of her excepting some nets and some small tubs of fish for bait. There were several shot holes in her hull that might have been caused by sound shot from a three or six-pounder gun; then I went to the Spec and mustered the Spec's crew. I found the articles were incorrect. Prisoner Cole said that the Chinese crew of the junk were in the fore hold of the Spec. I saw them brought on deck from the fore hold; their hands were tied together; seven of them had wounds about them; one of them was so severely wounded that I sent for the medical officer to examine him. I asked Cole how these wounds had been received, he said by shot from the Spec. I asked Cole if he had papers of the junk, he said. No; I then asked for the head man of the junk. One of the Chinamen came forward and produced some papers that had been sewn up in his clothing, and which by the interpretation of a Chinese from the Childers were pronounced to be the junk's papers. I conveyed to the\n\nPage 366\n\nhanded them over to the Chinese Mandarins. When subsequently questioned Cole about it, Cole said that the wound was caused by a grape shot from the Spec; and prisoner Ephraim Francis added that he thought it must have been caused by a grape shot. I subsequently released the crew of the junk, excepting the man who was badly wounded, and who was sent on board the Childers to be under medical care. I went to the Mandarins, and the crew of the junk (that is two of them) were examined before them. The Mandarins, as the interpreter explained to me, wished the crew of the junk to be released, as their papers were good. By their request I also handed over to them half the arms of the junk, handing the others to the junk's crew. The junk was a fishing junk of the ordinary class fishing thereabouts,\n\nThe quantity of arms belonging to the junk was not unusually large; the crew said she had them to protect herself against pirates. I found in a list of the arms belonging to the junk as detailed to me by Cole. Between 4 and 5 P. M. on the 22d June last I saw two Chinese boats alongside the junk; shortly afterwards as we\n\nJ. C. PITMAN,\n\nCommander of H. M. Sloop Childers.\n\nare hereby directed to repair on board the schooner Spec of Hongkong and take charge of her, as well as the master and crew, who are prisoners under the charge of Piracy on the High Seas, &c., and you will use the utmost\n\nvigilance that none escape whilst under your custody. You will proceed with all expedition to Hongkong; on your arrival there you will report yourself to the Senior Naval Officer, from whom you will receive further instructions.\n\nFor your better guidance, I refer you to Chap 8 of the Queen's Regulations, Page 82, and to Art. 14 of the Admiralty Instructions, Pages 6 to 14\n\n146",

White and I were rather hostile. This hostility, however, faded away and changed into close friendship.\n\nAs Mr Day had been always three terms with Revd. While I filled government posts, I could not at the time leave Why Recinity was at home in the late hour and substituted In Day's luces & Mr Bridges' influence.\n\nIt is known that Dr Auntery presented an entirely entire View of what passed between him and the Chief. Since then, Capt Rotten asked him what he said to him. He replied that he said something about Mr Day, something for the post, and used the words \"dis & ...\", but said that he worked with Bridges first. He could not be very certain of the other words, but when he returned home, he told his wife, Dr. Radlamm, what had occurred. When Mr Austerity asked him what he had said, he referred to Mr Rowland, but replied \"but\" said he. The conversation did not vary that Mr Day conversed with particular individuals.\n\nI think it would have been fair for Capt Rotten to have come and spoken to me rather than have gone to a third party who was not present and to whom Capt Potter gave some account of the conversation two hours after.\n\nAs to the relevant matter, on the Friday in the same week, Mr Austerity and I had a conversation that I have already almost told you verbatim. On the Sunday at the Church door, Capt Retten R.A. and I had a further conversation during the short interval that elapsed while my wife was getting out of her carriage. I expressed my disappointment and attributed it to Mr Bridges' influence. Mr Day had been working with Mr Bridges.\n\nHe tells me that Mr Day applied for the post. I allowed myself a couple of doubts. Before the moment, I was friendly with them. I believe him to be a man who knows not what the truth is, but £80 is the theme. And he said something that affected me.\n\nMy surprise was that this buried scrap of conversation had been made the subject of communication, due to some mistaken misconception.",

The following items are from the Japan Times:—\n\nWe are still unable to give the name of the new port on the West coast. We are glad to find that our fear that Tsurunga would be chosen was unfounded; the foreign Ministers have expressed themselves strongly against it. The Serpent, one of H.B.M.'s surveying ships, is now engaged examining all the apparently eligible harbours on the West coast, and some weeks must necessarily elapse before Captain Bullock can make his report.\n\nOur news from Osaka are by no means satisfactory; they augur anything but ease for the Shingoon and peace for the empire. Consequently, unless existing difficulties can be previously arranged, we cannot anticipate much advantage for ourselves when the ports are opened next year. The combination of Daimios against the Shiogoon, to which we alluded last mail, we have now ascertained to be an actual and threatening reality. They very naturally object to the extension of a trade in which they have no share, and the profits from which only strengthen an able and dangerous rival, whom they shrewdly suspect of a design to become their absolute master.\n\nIt appears that Osaka not being strictly his own port, the Shiogoon, by taking the responsibility of promising that it shall be opened in 1868, has so far committed himself that the Daimios opposed to him have just ground of complaint that they had not been previously consulted. They carefully avoided giving him any opportunity of consulting them, it must be remarked, by steadily refusing to attend the conference which he has repeatedly endeavoured to assemble for the purpose. They declare that Osaka shall not be opened, unless foreign trade is also permitted at certain points in their own dominions, and Satsuma, Chiosiu, Echizen, Tosa, and Kanga have declared that if Osaka be opened in 1868, they will themselves invite foreigners to trade at their own ports. It is difficult to say how this can be prevented with any show of right, and very easy to see that much evil will result from the fulfilment of their threat. Subjects of Powers having treaties with the Shiogoon can be punished for trading at any of his ports not opened by those treaties, but at ports out of his territory, and where his authority is not acknowledged, we can see nothing to prevent traders doing whatever business they can, particularly when specially invited by the Sovereign of that country.\n\nOn the other hand, foreign Powers will certainly never make a number of separate treaties with these individual Daimios, and, consequently, foreign traders repairing to their ports would have to do so on their own responsibility, and would be without the inestimable advantage of consular protection. Probably business trade, by means of coasting vessels, supercargos, and receiving ships, a system the evils and inconveniences of which are manifest. The development of the Japan trade has been so...\n\n#### PASSENGERS OUTWARD.\n\nPer P. and O. steamer Euxine, from Southampton, August 4-To Shanghai: Mrs. Algernon Wright and child.

In Exchange the bias for the mail has been small; rates are finally higher; Bank bills 1/4% to 1-9/17, and telegraphic transfers 7-11 to 7-13/16. On Bombay bills we are ruling at 1/8 per cent discount on demand, and 1/4 per cent at 30 days' sight. On China a small business has been done at 205/8 to 206/8 for 30 days sight.\n\nFreights have been ruling quiet during the fortnight, and there is no special change to report. There has been a full supply of steam tonnage on the berth, and as a result light freights have been rather easier. By the Cape round freights business is doing at former quotations and there are not many vessels offering. The enquiry for the United States is languid, but there has been some demand for steam to Bombay.\n\nCHARTERS.\n\nFor Penang--\"Corabuta,\" arrived on the 8th instant, we previously chartered in England so much cargo; for Brudeaturwa\" 1,845 tons, was at £3-12-6.

E\n\n106,\n\n[Via Brindisi\n\nseason: sellers have enlarged to meet the off-take freely, and prices show a tendency to quote lower on off-shore basis but buyers generally are cautious and show symptoms of increasing when the \"Poonah\" holidays are over in a few days. The classes in chief request are Grey staples, and lately Malwa Shirtings, Jernings and Mulls have an increased inquiry. The light and heaviest classes of goods have, up to date, sold only slowly for the season and there is, comparatively speaking, no inquiry for many desirable tinted and Colored lots are out of stock, but retail sales of the latter like place from day to day for the Upper Provinces. All Tar is dull with a downward tendency: dealers having dated business in expectation of there being over shipments lately. The Arrivals in prices of cotton radiotectores on the Bombay side, in the too sluggish selling market for Raw Cotton, have given considerable support to importers being cautious and the moderate shipments reported at Madras also exercised a beneficial influence. Piece goods took their hand, however, presented more in value, and it is thought that it will require a continuance of the gay season's off-take for another fortnight before any good or Bartlett sheet is produced on the market. The liberal allowances to the interior the last three weeks do not appear to have stimulated to any extent in dealers' zagrla, and favorable inferences are being drawn from the fact that the retail enquiry is on the most extensive; but it grumbles stocks in first hands are lessened unusually, prices will probably recover very slowly as of late, and any heavy purchases Press the holders she, at the comparatively high prices ruling there, and on the late better market bars, are not unlikely to come in disappointingly.\n\nExports--Barity of Tonnage has interfered greatly with our export trade since last issue. Linseeds have experienced great fall lately, and the talones is still lower, as the news of very abundant crop seems to have in great measure checked home and foreign Rates, and late advices from there are very discouraging. Piece sales of medium Linwood Baggere are going on at 11a. 4-3 for 4 per cent of day and June delivery vitriol, price establishes a fall of 2 as per maand with a fortnight agreed--There is nothing doing for export; prices, however, are cash in a bank. Poppy--There is usually mind. Naports dem the interho are very satisfactory for the season --Telia -way Ettle doing and prinse my casier. Rice--The quality of late arrivals of Wudle is inferior, and the demand for ustida has been off. There is only a small inquiry for rough-rice and low Falls for Fondos at rather easier prices. In Yellow wrtz there is a fair business doing for the country itada. Arte--London stricte are very discouraging, and prices have undergone again a further selling. A large quantity of the old crop remains in the interior. Situation in good demand for Fradou at Rs 7-11 for par opt, price tion. The scarcity of Tonnage checks unstuese to a great extent.

        "content_text": "POLICE SCHOOL, HONGKONG, 1st February, 1877.\n\nSir,--I have the honour to forward the Annual Report on the Police School under my charge, for the year ending 31st December, 1876.\n\nNothing but routine has occurred during the year worthy of special notice. There have been no changes; as the basis on which the School is established is fixed, and the attendance compulsory, our statistics do not present such fluctuations as they otherwise would. The attendance is entirely beyond the control of the masters, the School itself being subordinate to the requirements of the service.\n\nThe men have been attentive on the whole; and that they have availed themselves of the instruction given, is clearly shown by the large number of pass certificates now in their hands. The Europeans are gradually passing out. Those who are still compelled to attend are either stationed at the outlying villages, or are on duty when they reside in the Central District. From these causes, the average attendance is smaller than that of previous years. The recruiting now going on will, however, increase our numbers again. With regard to the Europeans generally, the School has performed solid service.\n\nOn the arrival of the English and Sikh contingents five years ago, a loud outcry was raised against the compulsory attendance, more especially by those who stood most in need of what a school has to offer. All this opposition has now vanished into thin air, and there are few indeed who have a word to say in the School's disfavour. Passing the School is now regarded as a stepping-stone to a higher class and promotion, and instead of the apathy which once characterised the attitude of the men, we have had several non-commissioned officers, during the year, attending voluntarily, even after they have passed the examination.\n\nThree Europeans have passed before the Examination Board in Chinese. Nine have obtained pass certificates from the School. Thirty-five men have still to pass, of whom nineteen are at the outstations and sixteen at the Central.\n\nIn accordance with the changes made in 1875, the Indians have been instructed, both in English and in Chinese, during the year. At the Annual Examination for the prizes awarded by Government, I was most agreeably surprised at the results, which were quite beyond what I expected. Men from all the Stations in the Colony presented themselves, and showed by the creditable appearance they made, that they were keeping up their English and Chinese when beyond the reach of the School. Four Indians have passed before the Examination Board in Chinese during the year, and others are waiting to be examined. Amongst a number, there was a disposition to be obstructive and lazy; a little firmness, and insisting that the work given was to be done before leaving for their quarters, soon brought them to their senses again. Things are now going on as smoothly as before.\n\nThe Chinese Constables attend twice a week, an hour each night. It is impossible to do much in so limited a time, with a body of men whose personnel is constantly changing, unless the men supplement the teaching they receive by private study. Our aim in the Chinese Classes is to make the instruction as practical as possible. Reading and Colloquial English with a little Writing and Arithmetic are all that we can manage.\n\nThe upper Chinese Class, however, contains a number of men, whose command of English, written and spoken, entitles them to your favourable consideration. It is worth while considering whether they are eligible or not for any interpreterships which may fall vacant. They know English and they know Police duty. Such promotions would cause a greater interest to be taken in the study of English. If the hours of study were only increased, I see no reason why we should not be able to train our own interpreters, instead of engaging outsiders, who, though possessing a knowledge of English, are completely ignorant of Police work.\n\nAs the system of pass examinations has exerted a beneficial influence over the European branch of the Force, I beg to suggest that the system be extended, under the same conditions, to both the Indians and Chinese.\n\nA knowledge of English and Chinese (colloquial on the part of the Indians, and written character on the part of the Chinese) would be all that would be required at first.\n\nThe following are the statistics for the year :-\n\n  \n    EUROPEANS-\n    \n  \n  \n    Total number of School days,\n    236\n  \n  \n    Total number of Attendances,\n    4,309\n  \n  \n    Average daily Attendance,\n    18.27\n  \n  \n    CHINESE,\n    \n  \n  \n    Total number of School days,\n    78\n  \n  \n    Total number of Attendances,\n    9,884\n  \n  \n    Average daily Attendance,\n    128.72\n  \n  \n    INDIANS,-\n    \n  \n  \n    Total number of School days,\n    138\n  \n  \n    Total number of Attendances,\n    4,967\n  \n  \n    Average daily Attendance,\n    35.95\n  \n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nSir,\n\nYour most obedient Servant,\n\nW.

        "content_text": "# 30 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 26TH JANUARY, 1878.\n\n2924\n\n## MINUTE\n\nI have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Despatches No. 11 of the 19th Jan. and No. 12 of the 20th Jan. relating to the Distribution of prizes at St. Paul's College and at the Central School.\n\nIn the latter of these Despatches you have noted the failure of the Government scheme of Education to reach the Chinese. Such a defect of technique on the same satisfactory basis as I have seen it in other Colonies. These are facts, ladies and gentlemen, which it is desirable for us to remember. It is by knowing them and by co-operating together that we can secure in this Colony that proper quantity and quality of public instruction which a Government ought to provide. And I may say this is especially our duty here upon the confines of China, for speaking in the presence of perhaps one of the most distinguished scholars of China and Chinese, my friend Dr. EITEL—he will bear me out in saying the instruction of the people, no matter how rude and elementary, is carried out in that great Empire, and has been for centuries carried out in a mode which should set us an example. In the Chinese villages at the other side of the water, you see all or nearly all the little boys attending school. It may be that they learn, from our point of view, very little. They get off by heart a few moral and ethical precepts, but such as they are, there they are kept repeating them. They are kept at school away from the streets, and whatever the educational result may be, it is manifest that the peace and good order, speaking generally, of that vast Empire, is in no small degree dependent on the vast network of public instruction there is over the whole of China.\n\nNow, ladies and gentlemen, this I think is a fitting opportunity for me, in again congratulating Mr. STEWART and congratulating the pupils who have obtained these prizes to-day, to say that whatever discussions there have been in this Colony, and they have raged pretty warmly now for a good many years, I believe we all unite in an earnest desire to promote the public instruction of the people, and I believe when we come to examine what are called the differences that exist, it will be found they are not very deep and that they should not keep us apart. On a recent occasion, during the absence of my Right Revd. friend Bishop BERDON, I had the pleasure of distributing the prizes at St. Paul's College. What I then said I now repeat, that the Government of this Colony is above the quarrels, discussions, and controversies of the educationists; the only desire of the Government is to do full justice and give fair play to all parties, and it is not because the Government gives assistance one day to one particular party that it is to be debarred the next day from as heartily and equally assisting another party. As long as we can promote public instruction so long, I believe, you will all co-operate with me in carrying out that policy of perfect fairness to all. In doing that, not only will we educate the people, but we will also—what is perhaps a secondary consideration but not unimportant—restore a little more harmony into our educational polemics. (Applause).\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY again rose and said:--I think, gentlemen, I may, imitating the example of worthy predecessor, SIR ARTHUR KENNEDY, ask Dr. EITEL if he will favour us with a few remarks on a subject on which there is no better authority than himself—the great subject of public instruction.\n\nThe Revd. Dr. EITEL:--Your Excellency, ladies and gentlemen, I feel very much at a loss as to what I can possibly say after the very admirable remarks that have already fallen from His Excellency, which have touched a responsive chord in all our hearts, as they ought to do, for we all have at heart the education of our fellow creatures. Only one thing I notice not specially mentioned in His Excellency's speech, but which no doubt is included in His Excellency's programme, and that is the education of girls. A great deal has indeed already been done in this Colony for the education of boys, but very little for the education of female children, and I hope His Excellency, in his scheme for the future education of this Colony, will make special provision by the institution of girls' schools. (Applause). I have no doubt I am expressing the feelings of all present when I say the education of the Colony is in excellent hands. (Applause).\n\nMr. STEWART:--I have to thank Your Excellency, and the ladies and gentlemen who have favoured us with their presence to-day, for your attendance and for the presents which have been given as prizes. If Your Excellency will now dismiss us for our holidays until the 1st March we shall be very glad.\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY then announced the holidays and the proceedings terminated.\n\n| Name |\n|------|\n| Mr. Bramston |\n| Mr. Malcolm |\n| Mr. Meade |\n| Mr. Herbert |\n| Lord Cadogan |\n| Sir M.

The former made representations in reference to the proposed composition of the extraordinary tribunal to be established at Erzeroum. It was intended that the tribunal should consist of four Muslims and four Christians. Safvet Pacha has, in accordance with Sir Henry Layard's request, offered certain Armenians the post of Mostechar to the superior Turkish functionaries. These Armenians having declined his offer, Sir H Layard had an interview with the Armenian Patriarch, in which he urged the latter to exert his influence to induce the Armenians to accept the position in question. The Patriarch declined to take this step, alleging that such measures were inadequate to satisfy the aspirations of the Armenian nation, since they would fail to give it an effective control over its own affairs.\n\n## GREECE AND TURKEY\n\n(THROUGH REUTER'S AGENCY)\n\n## THE YELLOW FEVER IN AMERICA\n\nNEW ORLEANS, Oct. 10.

(THROUGH REUTER'S AGENCY) The semi-official Avvenire of to-day publishes an article on the Egyptian question. The writer says England and France declare that they have in no way participated in the nomination of the Egyptian Ministry, and it would thus be useless to enter into negotiations with those countries.

A powerful tug was sent in search for the derelict vessel, and she found the Rover in Bigbury Bay, and towed her into Plymouth Harbour, where she now lies half full of water.\n\n## THE BARNSLEY POISONING CASE\n\nThe adjourned inquest on the man and girl who died from eating portions of a pudding taken from an eating-house at Barnsley was concluded yesterday.

He then cut his own throat so seriously as to cause death. No reason is assigned for the crime.\n\nA large and enthusiastic meeting was held at Bury, Lancashire, in favour of the Suffrage Bill.

Hicks Beach does not consider it advisable to reduce such taxes as those on native shipping for a year or two; it is thought that if the finances continue to prosper, it may be possible hereafter to do away with such restrictions on the trade.\n\nThe Estimates and Appropriation Bill should be sanctioned subject to the Secretary of State's decision on the various proposals for the rearrangement of public departments when fully brought before him by the Governor.\n\nMr Lucas observes that the Estimates show no reduction of the municipal rate; per contra, they do not show any sign of the increased opium receipts.

If in any year a vote has been taken for a work which has not been commenced in that year, the vote should be considered as lapsed, and if it is intended to proceed with the work in the following year, the money should be revoted. The same consideration applies to any portion of a work which may not have been completed during the year in which the vote has been taken for it.

This incident occurred in the middle of the year 1877, and though FREEMAN was then fined $6, he had again to be fined ($5) in the following month for being “asleep on duty.”\n\n5. Though it appears to have been the practice for the Captain Superintendent to record the character roll of a Constable of the Hongkong Police as \"Very good\" in spite of such incidents, unless the offences were more numerous, or the fines in each case amounted to $10, I cannot approve of it.\n\n6. I have long been of opinion that upon the thorough performance of the Night duties of the Police Force we have mainly to depend for the prevention of crime in this Colony. I see no reason for doubting the accuracy of the view taken by the recent Committee of the Legislative Council presided over by the late Mr. Max, that this Colony has been insufficiently policed at night time and that this has had probably more to do with the increase in some class of offences than any other cause.\n\n7. But if I were now to ratify the Captain Superintendent's certificate that P. C. FREEMAN'S conduct has been \"very good\" and to give him accordingly the suggested bonus of $250, I should not be encouraging that thorough performance of the night duties of the Force that I consider to be of such vital importance.\n\n8. The Captain Superintendent will, therefore, be good enough to revise the discharge certificate in this case, substituting a lower mark of conduct for the phrase \"very good,\" and he will also see that FREEMAN is paid the lower bonus of $120, instead of $250.\n\n9. This decision may appear to press hardly upon P.C. FREEMAN, who, knowing the practice that had existed here for some years past, has not unnaturally calculated on receiving a discharge certificate marked \"very good\" though on two occasions during my brief administration of the Colony, he has been fined for neglect of night duties, yet I am sure every officer and man in the Police Force will understand that this decision points, on the other hand, to the fact that the Head of the Executive will not be indifferent to the faithful discharge of the night duties of the Police and that the award of whatever bonuses or promotions in the Police may be at my disposal, will depend, in no small degree, on the way in which each individual in the Force does his work in protecting the Colony at night.\n\n**J.

The first is that in making the first draft of the Estimates, I Marsh simply took the old ones for his model (all of which have this item) and forgot to strike out the sum in question.\n\n(ii) In the sixth paragraph of the Estimates' despatch, Mr Hennessy states that it will not be possible to save anything under the Auditor's department, because Mr Marsh had found it necessary to pay £250 to keep the originally voted for the office a good clerk not previously in the office.\n\nThis I expect is the explanation, but if it is not thought sufficient, the point should be raised in the despatch as Mr Hennessy's imputation is a serious one and should be cleared up.\n\nCP.d 8 Mar\n\nI think that det Lucas's explanation (1) is the probable one, but I do not understand that Sir M.

Hicks Beach.  \n\nI am directed by the Lords for the Colonies to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 25th ultimo on the subject of the results of the Meteorological system established by the Govt. of India.\n\nThe results have demonstrated the utility but the wording of India is distinct in origin and goal from those of the China Coast. Each region is self-coating but indeed has its own established system.  \n\nA meteorological class is being gathered by the Jesuit at Tientsin, and another is now in the course of equipment at Zikawei (near Shanghai). But much even more than this is required for the study of Meteorology as influenced by features peculiar to the China Coast, and to it, and we have now accumulated a large amount of data relating to the Indian typhoons to a great extent in the nautical and telegraphic offices, which will be available for discussion when extracts and tabulations in the Hongkong Meteorological office shall be available. But in the case of the latter, information is but little advanced beyond the stage of the proposed observatory at Zikawei (near Shanghai), which will be most valuable additions to the subject.\n\nYours faithfully,  \nH. M. Saunders  \nMeteorological Reporter to the Govt. of India  \n\n### Establishment of a Meteorological Observatory at Hong Kong\nSir Michael Hicks Beach is fully sensible of the scientific advantages which would be secured by the erection of an Observatory, such as has been proposed.",

Hennessy\n\nvate, he never met with any person, in any class of society, who possessed a clearer understanding and whose intellectual faculties had been more highly cultivated, than the Prince Consort, no one from whom personally he had derived so much instruction in the most useful branches of statesmanship. Remembering what Lord GRANVILLE said, and reading now the last volume of the Prince Consort's life, we feel that, when Mr. DISRAELI spoke of the Prince discharging the highest duties under the most difficult circumstances, we may add with truth that he did so with complete success——(Applause.) We now know that in the long roll of English Sovereigns we never had a King who could rival Prince ALBERT in all that is truly Royal in character and conduct.-(Applause.) Some of those who are present will no doubt remember that the Chinese Classics know no higher social duty than that of reverence for ancestors, and that the descendant, no matter how remote, who takes a leading part in the solemn homage at the ancestral shrine is named in that famous Book of Odes, composed three thousand years ago, \"the filial grandson.\" Here, in this youthful Prince, in whose presence I now unveil this portrait, we have a living illustration of what those ancient pages teach. You, Sir, Prince HEINRICH, are \"the filial grandson.\"-(Applause).\n\nHis Excellency then unveiled the picture.\n\nAmid the applause of the assembly, the Prince stepped forward, and, grasping the Governor's hand, said:--I thank you, Sir, most warmly, for the way in which you have spoken of my beloved grandfather. Your words have touched me deeply. I shall never forget having assisted at this ceremony.\n\nHis Royal Highness then bowed to the assembled guests, and, accompanied by the Governor and Baron von SECKENDORFF, left the room, and shortly afterwards started for Canton.\n\nPage 54\n\n## No 14\n1.

Sir Arthur Kennedy's Warrant said \"Let the said Mok E Kwan be discharged from custody and prohibited from entering the Colony for five years from the date hereof.\" That is from the 21st October 1876.

        "content_text": "Mr Johnson.\n\nBefore M. Pearson's minute on this paper is carried out I should be much obliged if you would look at the minute on 90041771 and draft and see by reference to recent Estimates from Hong Kong (1) whether the instructions to set out in the main heading of the Estimates all Pensions has been attended to & (1) whether the \"non-effective\" charge for gratuities & Pensions to Police has shewn any tendency to increase since that time.\n\nTo give the Governor absolute discretion to dispose of £14,000 without the supervision of the Secretary of State, & my fear is that it will lead to the \"non-effective\" charges becoming out of all proportion to the \"effective\" charges. M. Lucas in minuting 18926/80 does not appear in any way to have adverted to the decision taken on 16807/81; & though Mr. Lewes in his minute of 4th October on 16807/81 alluded to that paper, Mr. Meade passed the draft to the Governor on 29th Sept on that paper before Mr. Lewes's minute was written, & I feel sure that Mr. Meade by his minute on the present paper intended deliberately to overrule his own minute on 16807/81.\n\nMr. Lucas's idea (as would appear from his last minute of 5th Oct on 16007/87) of relieving the financial deck of the trouble of supervising small Police Pensions is no doubt a very laudable one, but the 4th clause of Ordinance 8 of 1867 would allow the Governor to give Capt. Superintendent a full-pay pension for life or any other outrageous thing.\n\nAs regards what I have always understood to be the intention of such provisions, it was to give the Executive certain powers in the administration of the affairs of the Colony, but that in his discretion he should take instructions that the Secretary of State may choose to give him as to the mode or extent to which he should exercise the powers conferred upon him by the Legislature.\n\nJNR 5/1/872",

        "content_text": "Legislative Council 22 November 1879-\n\nOn the \"Chinese Emigration Ordinance Amendment Bill,\" His Excellency the Governor said :— Now, there was another proposed emigration about which I refused to issue my license, and that was the emigration of skilled artisans to Sydney and other parts of Australia, which Messrs. STEVENS & Co. brought before me.\n\nSome members of my Executive Council appeared to think favourably of this scheme, and we had a good deal of discussion on the subject, but I adhered to the opinion which, on looking at the papers, I had originally formed,-that I should not relax in any way the rules of the Colony with respect to contract emigration with the object of facilitating the traffic which Messrs. STEVENS & Co. had in view. The idea of sending to Sydney or other parts of Australia a number of skilled Chinese artisans from Hongkong, would, it was pointed out to me, benefit considerably those Chinese who should be so taken, but I had to look to other considerations. I had to consider how far it was desirable for the Governor of this Colony to do anything in the way of relaxing the strict letter of the law so as to facilitate the emigration into Australia of Chinese workmen or labourers, at the very time when it seemed to me that the Governments of Australia were more or less embarrassed by this very question. Accordingly I refused to issue my license, and it happened that six or eight months after some trouble did occur at Sydney with the very steam-ship Company in question, owing to the fact that though I did not give my license in the form they had sought, yet some Chinese were conveyed in another way not in violation of our Ordinances, and the fact of these people arriving in Sydney led to disturbance and caused the local Government no small trouble.\n\nThere was another form of emigration to Sydney, Queensland, and other parts of Australia, against which I set my face in this Colony the moment I saw its possibility, or knew that it had ever taken place. That comes under the category more indeed of another subject recently discussed at this Council,--the deportation of criminals, than under that of emigration properly so called, and it is referred to by Mr. DEANE in his evidence before the Committee on Police and Crime. Mr. DEANE tells the Committee that some of the deportees or criminals who received conditional pardons were sent to Australia. The practice was: in the event of an emigrant ship being about to sail, these Chinese criminals were asked where they would like to go to, because neither the conditional pardon nor the deportation warrant of the Governor recited the place to which the criminal was to be deported; it simply stated in the one case the man was willing to leave the Colony and not to return for life, and in the other case he was ordered to leave and not return for five years, as the case might be. However,\n\nin these cases it turned out that if a prisoner expressed a wish to go to Sydney, Brisbane, or any other port of Australia, the practice, Mr. DEANE said, was for the Police to see that man on board the emigrant steamer or ship, and, having seen him safely on board, to make sure, as far as they could, that he left the Colony. I think one witness-not Mr. DEANE, but one of the Inspectors---told the Committee he had seen thirty or forty, at all events a considerable number of the deported criminals, on board one ship.\n\nThe Chief Justice.-What date was this?\n\nHis Excellency. This used to go on regularly up to two and a half years ago, when I put a stop to the practice. I recently called for a report from Mr. DEANE upon this subject, and he says-(His Excellency read the report of the Captain Superintendent of Police, to the effect that if a deportee desired to leave for any place to which a steamer ran, he was seen on board by a Constable, who remained until his departure; if he desired to go to any native village to which a passage boat plied, the same course was pursued; if he wished to go to Kowloon City, he was escorted to the boundary and there released). The Committee of which my honourable friend (Mr. RYRIE) was a member, not only took the evidence of Mr. DEANE and one of the Inspectors, but in their report they touched upon the subject, and, if I remember rightly, disapproved of the encouragement of the Emigration of Chinese criminals to Australia. However, I have not allowed that, and not one deportee has gone to Australia since my arrival in this Colony.\n\nPage 10\n\nAppendix\n\nB.\n\nList of Deportees &c.\n\n800. 10.00-\n\nCRAFT.\n\nNo. 33.\n\nSir J.

(See draft on W58-81) but when the appointment was reported to the Governor, no pay was specified (draft on WN581) and in consequence, they have continued to pay Mr Wodehouse the exceptional salary given to Mr Plunket instead of the Coroner’s usual salary.\n\nOfficially, the matter may be better put by Mr Lucas to duly inform the Governor.\n\nIn getting this right, it will be necessary to let Sir J. Hennessy know that Mr Wodehouse has been corresponding with this office & I think the best plan would be to send a copy of the letter as it was addressed to the Private Secretary to Mr Meade and tell him not to call upon Mr W. to refund anything of the late arrangement but in future to pay him at the rate of $720 instead.\n\nThe Governor should be informed that Sir J. P. Hennessy wrote to the Colonial Office at length on the matter, and that Mr Wodehouse wrote officially to the same effect, though his letter has no system.\n\nI see he suggests that the matter might be dealt with on the Quarterly Returns. He retained his name to appear in the returns for the June quarter; these could not have reached us yet. I think therefore we...",

He currently gets $1296 dollars as warden of the gaol.

However, without clear context, adding words or reordering sentences is challenging.\n\n3. **Correct spelling errors** — Many spelling errors are present, such as \"clespalet\" to \"despatch\", \"forma's\" to \"former's\" or \"formal's\", \"phunted\" potentially to \"proposed\", etc.\n\n4. **Fix spacing issues** — Extra spaces are removed, and missing spaces are added.\n\n5. **Rejoin broken sentences** — Sentences are rejoined where possible.\n\n6. **Restore paragraph breaks** — Paragraph breaks are maintained as per the original text.\n\n7. **Indicate missing words** — `...` is not inserted as it's not clear what words are missing without context.\n\n8.

This was essentially the case with the so-called Crown Solicitor who was simply an advising Solicitor doing certain work for a fee of £250 a year, though the salary has since been doubled. I think that it is clear from 17470/67 that this is still more of a case.\n\nMoreover, the C.O. Circular of 12 March 1870 said that as regards Colonial pensions, the Treasury rules in the matter of private practice would be followed except where special grounds for deviation from that practice may have been duly sanctioned. And therefore, in spite of the minute made by Mr. W. Sharp, I do not think he can be held to have any good claim; and as he has not asked for a pension and would not appear to contemplate getting one, I would not raise the point in his favour, and his claim (if he puts one forward) being unsubstantiated.\n\n20/10/83\n\nDRAFT.\n\nMINUTE.\n\n17645 Hong Kong\n\nMr. Lucas 22.

The object of the loan is the speedy completion of a railway from Hopetown on the Orange river to Kimberley. The sums are to be advanced from time to time before the 31st of March, 1886, upon such evidence of the progress of the railway works and of the money expended on them as the Treasury requires. Each advance is to be repaid within five years of the loan, the interest charge being 3 per cent per annum. However, no advance is to be made until the Cape Government has deposited an equivalent amount of colonial debentures with an addition of 1-16th of the amount, these debentures bearing interest at 5 per cent and having five years' coupons attached. If the Colonial Legislature does not within a reasonable time pass a law providing for securing the repayment of advances and for raising further funds, if necessary, for the completion of the railway, the Treasury may refuse to make further advances, and on those already made 5 per cent is to be paid instead of 3½ per cent. The same course may be taken if through any cause within the control of the Cape Government the railway is not completed within eight months. Should the Colonial Legislature pass a law impairing the priority of the lawful charge of the advances on the colony's general revenue, the law is to be void unless it contains a clause suspending its operation until Her Majesty's pleasure has been publicly signified in the colony. To raise the sums required for the advances, the Treasury are authorized to borrow money by the issue of Exchequer bonds or bills or Treasury bills for sums of not less than £100 each, to be repaid at par not more than five years afterwards or less than one year.\n\nDRAFT\n\n**U.S. War Office MINUTE**\n\nMr. Lucas\nMr. Wingfield\nMr. Bramston\nMr. Meade\nSir R.

        "content_text": "designs. In Lyndhurst Terrace, the premises of Messrs. Belilios & Co. were gay with two gas stars, and the letters V. R. E. I., also in gas, and a display of lanterns. Messrs. H. M. M. Ally & Co. had a rather novel illumination of glass lamps with coloured lustres pendant over the door and lines of small glass lamps ranged round the building. In Peel Street Messrs. R. Habibhoy & Co. had a fine gas star, flanked on either side by the letters V. R. and a large number of Japanese lanterns tastefully arranged. On the opposite side the Parsee shopkeepers had their stores illuminated with lanterns. Mr. Stringer's premises were also illuminated with coloured lanterns. The central portion of Gage Street, which is occupied by Parsee and Indian firms—viz., Messrs. Cawasjee & Co., Tharia Topan, P. F. Tolates, A. M. Apcar, Abdoolally Ebrahim & Co., H. A. Asgar and H. Esmail on one side, and on the other by Messrs. H. H. H. Faack & Co., R. Devjes, R. S. Woonwalls & Co., B. C. Vania, and Abdulcadur Esmaljee—was decorated with lanterns on both sides, and across the street something like a network of lanterns was constructed, which formed a pleasing novelty.\n\nMany of the houses in Gage Street, Hollywood Road, and other parts, which one of the unofficial members would fain see removed outside the town, were gaily decorated, in some instances with little regard for expense.\n\nThe Central Police Station and Superintendent's quarters were lighted with coloured lanterns, and Arbuthnot Road was brilliantly illuminated. The houses of the French Consul and Dr. Stewart were gay with coloured lanterns and Mr. J. A. Carvalho and Mr. J. M. Machado showed gas stars with \"V. R.\" on either side. Remedios Terrace looked most imposing, being simply but tastefully decorated with handsome Japanese lanterns, arranged to show off its arches and proportions; this terrace was conspicuous from the water and elsewhere. \"Duart,\" the residence of Mr. A. G. Romano, Consul-General for Portugal and Consul for Brazil, was ornamented by strings of lanterns round the parapet, and festoons of the same in the arches of the verandahs, while a capital gas illumination over the entrance gate added much to the effect. This consisted of a star in the centre, \"V. R.\" on the sides, the arch being outlined by gas jets and surmounted by a large crown in gas.\n\nThe Lusitano Club displayed a gas star with \"V. R.\", and the Parsee Club a device in little glass lamps of \"V. R.\" and a crown. Several houses in Old Bailey Street and Elgin Terrace were illuminated and some in Staunton Street. The Central School had a device in gas, representing a Crown with the inscription beneath \"Vivat Regina\" and four Chinese characters three feet in height on either side. The expenses connected with the illumination of this building were defrayed by the scholars attending the school.\n\nIn Caine-road, the house of Mr. Remedios and the private house of Messrs. Russell & Co. were decorated with lanterns, the garden of \"Rose Hill\" being also illuminated. The approaches to the Italian Convent were lighted up by coloured lanterns, and the Spanish Dominican Procuration made a goodly show in lanterns, the highest portion of the premises being topped with a lofty cross formed of red lanterns, which was very prominent on that level. The American Consulate was bright with many tinted lanterns, and \"Kingsclere,\" the residence of Mr. E. R. Belilios, was gay with bunting and lanterns arranged all along the handsome and massive iron railings just erected in front of the house. The next two houses and the Police Station were both decorated with Chinese and Japanese lanterns, and Mr. J. H. Smith's residence at the junction with Castle-road was profusely covered with Chinese lanterns of different colours. The two houses beyond in Castle-road were also illuminated, and a string of parti-coloured lanterns stretched all across the upper storey of West Terrace. Mr. A. J. de Rozario displayed a complete and excellent device in gas, a crown on the top, with a star beneath, in the centre being the figures \"50,\" flanked by the letters V. R. The Japanese Consulate showed the flags of England and Japan on either side of the porch, strings and festoons of lanterns, and a transparency over the gateway with the Royal Arms and motto—\"Long life to the Queen, Prosperity to the Empire.\" At Burey Lodge, the residence of Mr. H. N. Mody, there was a profuse display of lanterns ingeniously worked into a well-considered device. In the centre a crown, with likeness of the Queen below, and underneath the words in lanterns \"Long live our Queen.\" On either side of the portico were two large bunches of lanterns on frames, and the railings in front were decorated with flags and lanterns. Forest Lodge was tastefully and neatly illuminated with lanterns, and \"Dinder\" showed up well in long lines of light around the house. The Hon. C. P. Chater's residence was illuminated by white lanterns marking out the arches of the verandahs, while rows of coloured lanterns lit up the garden. \"Craigengower,\" the residence of Dr. Carvalho, and \"Idlewild,\" the residence of Mr. W. R. Loxley, were decorated with lanterns, and the London Mission and Ball's Court in Bonham Road were also illuminated.\n\nAlong Robinson Road illuminations were partial. \"Stonehenge\" was lit up by lanterns, and some fireworks were let off from this residence. \"The Bungalow\" was decorated with flags and lanterns, and \"Rocklands,\" \"Lena Cottage,\" \"Stonehaven,\" \"The Rockeries,\" \"Fernside,\" \"Excelsior,\" \"Burnside,\" and \"Cringleford\" were all illuminated with lanterns. St. Joseph's College hoisted a red cross formed of Japanese lanterns. Only one of the houses in Belilios Terrace was lighted up, but there was quite a display in a small way in Mosque-street and Junction, most of the houses showing coloured lanterns. At his residence in Seymour Terrace Mr. Hancock displayed two fine gas stars with the monogram \"V. R.,\" and in the same terrace Mr. E. J. Coxon had strings of lanterns running up his flagstaff. \"The Castle\" was also illuminated. The houses in the Albany were most of them illuminated and \"Kurrahjeon,\" the residence of Mr. J. M. Armstrong, \"As You Like It,\" the residence of Mr. First, and the Blue Bungalows were gaily lighted by coloured lanterns. Mr. Poesnecker displayed a fine five-light gas star, and several other houses on the upper levels were illuminated, among which may be mentioned \"Harperville,\" where Mr. Bruce Shepherd had a display of lanterns. The Pavilion of the Ladies' Recreation Ground was lighted up, and a string of lanterns stretched down the different tennis courts presented a conspicuous line of light to gazers from below.\n\nPage 13\n\nThe decorations were chiefly confined to the central and western districts, the Wanchai district taking little part in them, being practically cut off from the other part of the town, where the populace congregated. The illuminations at the Barracks, however, well repaid a walk some distance to the eastward. The triumphal arch at Murray Barracks we have already mentioned. The motto on one side was \"The tribute of the nations\" and on the other \"To the Wife, Mother, Queen.\" The Officers' Mess at Murray Barracks was well lit up with lanterns showing Queen Empress on the front in large letters, and \"58,\" the number of the Regiment, on the end facing the Parade Ground. North Barracks were illuminated with red, white, and blue lanterns in strings, and the barracks recently converted from Chinese houses with white and coloured Japanese lanterns. Head-quarter House formed a very prominent feature in the illuminations with its long strings of coloured lanterns running up to the flagstaff. The Naval Yard had flags over the gateway and several anchors in gold on it, lanterns along the workshops, and lanterns in strings running from the flagstaff. The Commissariat buildings were very effectively treated. \"1837 1887\" stood out in figures of gold on a red ground, with \"God save the Queen\" in white lanterns, and transparencies under the arches. The Temperance Hall was illuminated with red and white lanterns, and Ating, the contractor, made a neat display of lanterns and transparencies. The little Police Station here also contributed its quota to the general effect. The Ordnance Store had \"V. R.\" in small white lamps, a shield with field pieces for the device, and lanterns on the face of the building and among the trees. Farther on we noticed that Man Yuen compradore's shop, the French Convent, Mr. Dorabjee Nowrojee's bakery, E-Tack, contractor, several houses occupied by Europeans, and Mr. J. S. Lucas's store were all illuminated with lanterns or glass lamps. The Government School opposite the Wanchai Market was also illuminated at the expense of the pupils, and the market had an ornamental porch erected. From the upper levels we saw several masses of light, which we took to come from Morrison Hill and the East Point Sugar Refinery; and the Hon. J. Bell-Irving's and Messrs.

Civil Hospital.\n\nSome of the Members of the Committee remark that it has come to their knowledge that, for some time past, the general working of this Hospital has been very unsatisfactory, great neglect having been shown, in one case in particular, in the treatment of patients.\n\nThe Committee therefore recommend that a Commission be appointed to enquire into the treatment of patients in and the general working of the Government Civil Hospital.\n\n(7.)\n\nMiscellaneous Services, (page 35).\n\nThe Surveyor General calls attention to the necessity for new furniture for Government House, most of the present furniture being quite unfit for use. Moreover, certain furniture that had been purchased some years back had greatly deteriorated owing to its removal to and from Mountain Lodge, at the Peak. The Committee recommend that a sum of $10,000 be set apart under this heading for the purchase of furniture which they understand to be absolutely necessary for Government House.\n\nWith the foregoing additions and suggestions, the Committee recommend the Bill to the favourable consideration of the Council.\n\nThe Committee then adjourn sine die.\n\nChairman\n\nFREDERICK STEWART,\n\nLaid before the Legislative Council on the 30th November, 1887.\n\nRead and confirmed this 30th day of November, 1887.\n\nARATHOON SETH,\n\nClerk of Councils.\n\nDRAFT.\n\nX\n\nNo. 14\n\n382 Hongkong\n\n1919\n\nSix S.

If Mr. Brine's view was applicable, still no reason, though the Ordinance says the section is not applicable, why he should not have been complainant himself.\n\nI would reply somewhat to the above effect?\n\nAs regards Mr. Secretary Smith, he would do nothing.

The action was without a warrant for a portion of the search of the house by the Police Sergeant. Misconduct as an officer of the Police was unquestionable and it was clearly the duty of the Captain Superintendent to investigate the charges. Unless he was satisfied that it was false, he should have investigated and punished for breach of discipline under section 23 of the Police Ordinance, or brought him before the Magistrate under that section for a more serious offence. Both sections are applicable.\n\nTo treat such an action by a Police officer as a mere civil trespass is not sufficient.\n\nMr. Stanhope's despatch appears to me to be inexcusable. I can see no justification for Mr. Deane's conduct. I directed that any charge should be dealt with in accordance with the Police Ordinance to afford discipline.\n\nThe charge of breach of discipline alleged by Mr. Deane for not dealing with it under the Police Ordinance had also been made. (In his opinion) the person aggrieved had a remedy, though it is not clear in what respect the Captain has wider powers than the Police Magistrate; he does not explain.\n\nIt is no doubt highly probable that the Sergeant and others may have provoked such a person (though such provocation is not an excuse).\n\nAs in the case of wounding, ending in smarting under provocation, even to that length, the law allows more than this case affords. Both harm and hurt are justified in expressing, but without further justification.\n\nI am of the opinion that \"the Commissioner (Mr. Denne) would have been very ...",

If he is regarded as a member of the permanent Staff, the Clerk must be regarded as entitled to the privileges of the position. But the Pension rules treat them as temporary officials with no right to Pensions during their limits, which regulations give the right to Passage.\n\nThe department evidently regarded Mr. Swan `369` as a civil servant for all purposes, and that precedent is no doubt relied on by Mr. J. Philippe now. Perhaps the best solution would be to allow the payment on this occasion and define clearly for the future the status of the Clerk.\n\nThis approval has been given, but I have to inform you that I have Ms objection to Mr. Rupell's nomination of the Youth Council.\n\n### 81.13/6 \n\nI agree with Mr. Lucas that we might well comment on the nature of this appointment. If he is to be considered a permanent officer, then he will be entitled to the passage money repaid where it is expressly excepted from Pension rights. If not a permanent Officer, he has no right to passage and pension.\n\n### Rin 14/6 \n\nIt is reported that Ladkautfferi is not able to pay the fare to which it is proposed that Mr. Philippe be appointed on a permanent basis, carrying a right to passage and pension, not a personal one.\n\nIn comment, Grant and Mr. Hertford allowance, and the question whether he can receive the free passage must be decided by the Governor. If it is a permanent post, it will refund the passage money. Should there be no election, Mr. Phillipps is proceeding by way of `Jomarca`.\n\n### Rgutt June 14 \n\n1",

        "content_text": "## The Postmaster General regrets that it has not been found possible to arrange for a departure from Hongkong at noon as desired by the Hongkong Chamber of Commerce, because in order to effect the considerable acceleration now contemplated it is essential that the packets should arrive at Singapore at daylight and leave that port at 8 o'clock the following morning, so as to arrive at Penang on the afternoon of the following day, thus giving convenient mail hours to both Singapore and Penang and a rapid transit through the Straits of Malacca.\n\nIn order to attain this result the mail packet, as a general rule, will leave Hongkong at daylight and this it is believed will be a convenient arrangement to the community. The days of departure will be Thursday in the fair season and Sunday in the monsoon and this will admit of the mails being closed and put on board the night before so that the Packets can leave at early dawn and get a clear departure from the Port.\n\nIn connection with this subject of leaving Hongkong and the allusion made to the French Mail hours it is right I should point out that a reference to the letter written by the Postmaster General of Hongkong to the Colonial Secretary dated the 16th of June, 1886, shows the reason of the Messageries Company in fixing noon for leaving Hongkong to be in no way out of consideration for any wishes expressed by that community but in order to permit of their saving daylight at the mouth of the Saigon River.\n\nSir ROBERT G.

        "content_text": "And I should like to ask M. Fleming consult his council as to whether deportation should not be extended to cover such cases. Calling attention at the same time to the concluding words of S. Marquee as to starting a Chinese Society to ship off persons of this class.\n\nThe increase in the number of paying patients in the hospital is good evidence that D. Atkinson is appreciated and we should comment on it in acknowledging interest among other points, such as the increase of absence of epidemics and the increase of general disease.\n\nC.Pd 16 Oct.\n\nThe question of patent medicine should be raised - but, I think, by Mr. W. du Tax who is about to return from holiday.\n\nK. 19/10\n\nAlso on 17 Oct., M. Lucas wrote (594/14107.77) also on the subject.\n\nWhen I was at Shantou (Swatow), mendicant vagrants from Canton were simply shipped off to their homes. The only difficulty was Haiphong's (i.e., the Governor of Haiphong's) interference with that practice, which was taken under Order 8 of 1858 (Dec. 23, 1858) and 28(9) - which latter Ordinance is repealed by Dec. 10-8 of 1882. I am apprehensive that in order to get to the bottom of the question, the Dept. will have to examine the correspondence which closed with the despatch No. 277 of 25.10.\n\nM. Branston referred to Lord Carnarvon's despatch No. 3, January 1878, par. 31, which deals with the expatriation of mendicants and the proposal for the retention of the power of sending them back to the mainland.\n\nDeportation generally forms the subject of 96'/11-79 and 80, on which there is a long minute. The view taken by yourself and others was that the power should be retained but be sparingly used.\n\nThe Ordinance on the subject is 2/81.",

His salary on appointment was $80 a month rising by annual increments of $4 to $100. Mr. Lucas has entered into an agreement to serve three years.\n\n9. I beg to point out that five years hence when his salary will be $100 a month, he will be in receipt of pay less than a 1st class Inspector of Police, His present pay is only equal to that of a 3rd class Police Inspector.

I would most respectfully make an urgent appeal on his behalf as the salary he is now receiving is practically insufficient for his maintenance, that alone being adequate for him keeping up his position as a professional man in the service \n\n11.

        "content_text": "For each occasion when the family calls upon a Clergyman of any Denomination to officiate, after perhaps 100 leavers, there are 12 cases, my friends gear, I differ (e.g., 1) who has no means or means ought to which in the Colony to defray funeral expenses.\n\nTo item $72 for Messenger, say the which is further at that or must the claims revoted this year, say that vote is disallowed, only be continued until the Messenger actually holding office when the Chaplain retired can be otherwise disposed of, if he is considered to have any claim for it, since the office clearly ceased to be one on the abolition of the Sexton, the mere continuing to be paid, so long officer holder of the office.\n\nIn office, the Chaplaincy is not a fixed staff officer like the Sexton who harvested rights & pension, but is a mere employee on a monthly engagement. On the other hand, a person to hold office, the present one in the Fixed Establishment continues to hold that office `guf.8//92`. C.P.L.\n\nSo Branston typifies in Johnson's view a fair question, viz whether the payment of the allowance for ministrations in Gaol and Hospital to the Church Body, and their corresponding obligation to provide them, had not better have been omitted from the arrangement, leaving the Government a free hand in this matter.\n\nOn the other hand, the allowance now would probably not be sufficient to secure the services of a minister having no other paid duty and, as Mr. Lucas suggests, it might help the Church Body in providing a minister. On the whole, I should be inclined to leave the Colonial Government and the Church Body to settle this point their own way and to see how it works.\n\nAs to the amount of the Allowance to be paid to the several denominations for their services, the only guide we have at present is that they have received from the Military authorities $720 per annum for looking after 200 R.C. soldiers in garrison. That they have received the same amount per annum for looking after the same number of R.C. in Gaol and Hospital. But I Johnson estimate that although 200 different R.C. may pass through Gaol and Hospital in one year, yet the daily average of R.C. in those institutions is 25, and that the allowance, on an arithmetical basis, should therefore be only $180 instead of $720. But this, as Johnson implies, would...",

But as he is in America, & as the N.K. must have had plenty of opportunity in the position he held of judging of his general health, I think the medical evidence may be accepted as sufficient, that we would not question the permanence of this incapacity.\n\nAs to the length of this service, I agree with Mr. Johnson that it should date from the date he commenced to draw pay (assuming the minute of 13/12/76 was published); but I do not feel sure he was not paid from 15th August at all events he must have entered early in Nov:-1879, as he arrives in Hong Kong some time after.\n\nThe Colony on Beer, & I rang some of the Policemen what were sent out in batches at that time, were actually paid according to date of engagement; this merely depends on conditions as to the date of embarkation.\n\nAs to the termination of his service, I agree with Mr. Johnson in principle that a man, who goes on vacation leave sends in an application to retire on ill health, his salary is over $120; the Governor should not decide on his immediate retirement; but should refer the application home, forwarding full particulars of service, granting half pay leave pending better information as to pension, provided such leave is justified by circumstances, & in this case the grant of 2 or better still 3 months' half pay leave would be sufficient to make his pensionable service 12 years; as it would not have been possible to dispose of the question within that period, I should be inclined to proceed practically as W. Lucas proposes, having first the certificate of conduct forthcoming.\n\nAs to other emoluments counting for pension, he seems to have held 2 distinct offices, drawing 2 distinct salaries, a special allowance of $2400 in respect of a set of duties which did not come precisely within the province of the Act, for a little more than a year before retiring; and as Storekeeper, this extra allowance he only drew for...\n\nEu99/4 \n\n\"natural\" addition of amounting to 25% besides...",

His allowance of $240 for collecting hospital bills is explained in `Est. in 574/91.2` and `pr. 55`. I don't know from what \"vote\" it was taken last year. It was only voted as a separate item for the first time this year; the Pension Paper says that he drew the amount since Oct, 1890. Truly, he will have drawn $240 since last year. We have shown in return in wheel. x. ... 3 min. 13 days @ $240 = $309, and 17 days further to be taken? $248140: 36, no perhaps by then $30 crunt $345 to that if this account $34. on average $31 18345 to the extent of $115.\n\n$115 HoZ Buy 18/h (referred to int Lucas' minute above).\n\nBut there is another emolument.

I think that it becomes pensionable if held by an officer who is otherwise non-pensionable. Has he been confirmed? If therefore M.

        "content_text": "## Instructions referred to on page 1.\n\nIf this Paper of Particulars and the Certificates connected with it, be not sent in original, the copies must be duly attested.\n\nHead 1 of Paper.-In the case of an Officer serving on the West Coast of Africa, a statement is to be added whether he is a native of that Coast. (Colonial Regulations, § 480.)\n\nHead 3.--State the description of Allowance for which the Application is recommended, viz., Superannuation, Compensation, Compassionate Allowance, or Gratuity, and its amount. In the case of Persons claiming an addition to their Pensions in respect of Professional or other special qualifications, this should be stated, and a reference should be given to the authority under which the claim is made.\n\nHead 5.-If the service has been interrupted by one or more breaks, the word \"broken\" should be added before or after the number of years and months, and the causes, dates, and circumstances of the break or breaks should be stated under heading 9.\n\nHead 6-If the person retiring has been in receipt of the same Salary, or in the class from which he retires, for the 30 months immediately before the date of his retirement, the actual annual rate of Salary or Wages at that date should be inserted, preceded by the word \"actual.\" In other cases the average annual amount of Salary or Wages for the 36 months next preceding the date of retirement should be inserted, preceded by the word \"average,\" but if the whole period of service is less than three years, then the average for the whole period of service should be inserted.\n\nHead 7.—A separate statement should be inserted of the average Annual Value, for the 36 months immediately preceding retirement, of each Emolument (exclusive of salary or wages) which is claimed to be included in the calculation of the Pension or Gratuity.\n\nWhenever the value of a House or House Allowance, so ascertained, exceeds one-sixth of the salary and other emoluments which count for Pension purposes, it is to be reduced to one-sixth of that amount, so that it shall not exceed one-seventh of the whole.\n\nFees which an Officer is allowed to retain for his own use will be taken into account for Pension purposes, with regular salary, at the annual average of the net receipts of the 36 months next preceding the Officer's retirement. These net receipts are to be ascertained by deducting from the gross amount of Fees such Office Expenses, &c., as an Officer may have had to defray from his own resources, in performing the services for which he was remunerated by Fees. No deduction, however, from the Fees should be made in respect of Office Expenses provided from Public Funds, for the due discharge of those duties to which a Fixed Salary is annexed. Papers of \"Particulars” when forwarded to the Colonial Department should be accompanied by formal Declarations from the retiring Officers, showing the amount received by them for Fees, and the amount defrayed as above for Office Expenses, &c., in each of the three years immediately preceding the retirement. It will be the duty of the Colonial Governments concerned to satisfy themselves of the accuracy of such statements before forwarding them to the Colonial Office. In the case of Officers receiving Fixed Salaries and Fees, the Fees will not in ordinary circumstances be allowed to count for Pension purposes to the extent of more than one quarter of the Salaries, and Fees will not in any case be allowed to count for Pension purposes during any period in which the whole time of the Officer receiving them was not given to the Public Service.\n\nHead 8.-In cases of infirmity, if the Applicant is below the ordinary age for retirement, a Medical Certificate is to be furnished showing that he is disqualified by infirmity of mind or body for discharging the duties of his situation, and that such infirmity is likely to be permanent.\n\nIn case of ten years' service or more, this Certificate should be signed by two Officers, of whom at least one should, if possible, be a Salaried Officer of the Government.\n\nHead 9.-As to \"broken\" service, see Head 5. If the Applicant has had any \"acting\" service, the details must be fully given, with a statement whether or not, during the \"acting\" service, he was connected with the permanent Civil Service of the Colony.\n\nHead 11.-If, in special circumstances, a professional Civil Officer has been allowed to have \"private practice\" without forfeiting his claim to Pension, the facts are to be fully stated.\n\nHead 14.-If the Applicant is liable to any deduction from his service under Clause 102 of the Colonial Regulations, the facts should be fully stated.\n\nHead 19.--The length of service and other particulars of the computation are to be given. When an average of Salary, &c., is taken, the mode of calculating it (whether by months, &c.) is to be explained.\n\n## DRAFT.\n\nThe Crown Agents\n\nMr. Lucas  \nMr. Fairfield.  \nMr. Wingfield.  \nMr. Bramston.  \nMr. Meade.  \nBaron de Worms.  \nLord Knutsford.\n\nGentlemen,\n\nI am directed by Lord Knutsford to inform you that leave on half salary for three months, dating from the 1st of February last, has been granted to M. G. Rogers, Steward and Storekeeper of Civil and Lock Hospitals at Hong Kong, by `copy fr. inf.95`. 14 April 27.\n\nM. Rogers' Salary is understood to be at the rate of $1380 per annum, and his Lordship approves of your paying him at the rate of half that amount for the three months in question at 4/2 the Dollar.",

In your opinion, would it be possible to send out Educational cadets who learn Chinese & act simply as teachers for two years at least, and then pass an examination in Chinese before being placed upon the regular staff? Such men should be not older than 24.\n\nIt seems to me to be the real solution of the difficulty, that the men should not go out at once as full-fledged masters; but on the other hand, they must have finished their educational curriculum in this country. If you can suggest any way of securing such men, it would help us.\n\nMr. Lucas CP 29.

        "content_text": "## MATERIALS FOR A HISTORY OF EDUCATION IN HONGKONG\n\nIn 1881 the number increased to 37 Mission Schools (7 Catholic and 30 Protestant Schools) with 2,237 scholars, the religious Grant-in-Aid Schools now mustering more scholars than the secular Government Schools. Thus the development of the Voluntary Schools continued to the present day, there being in 1890 as many as 4,656 scholars attending the Mission Schools (60 Protestant and 15 Catholic Schools), whilst Government Schools were attended by little more than half that number, viz. 2,514 scholars. Moreover the annual competitive examinations amply testify that the teaching given in the Voluntary Schools is not in any sense inferior to that given in the Government Schools, whilst the education thus given costs the Government (apart from cost of Government School-buildings) from $25 per scholar in Victoria College to $8 in the outside Government Schools, but in the Grant-in-Aid Schools only $5.62 per scholar. The principal gain, however, secured by the Amended Grant-in-Aid Scheme, is perhaps to be found in the fact that local education continued to develop steadily, from 1878 down to the present day, without any friction whatsoever.\n\nThe further course of the development of the Schools in the Colony is within the personal recollection of those most interested in them and is perhaps too near to our view yet to admit of impartial historic treatment.\n\nWe take leave of our readers with the consciousness of having impartially noted down the course of events, just as the facts within our reach appeared to us to demonstrate it. But the materials for forming an independent judgment are now before the reader and each will put his own construction upon them. Nevertheless we feel sure that those of our readers who are qualified to judge will agree in at least two conclusions, viz. that the development of local education has on the whole run a course of healthy though slow growth, and that success in the future lies in stimulating voluntary efforts in education. But this, we believe, can only be done by confining directly governmental educational work to gratuitous Elementary Schools and by setting Voluntary Schools of all creeds (Protestant, Catholic, Jewish, Mahomedan and Confucian etc.) free, with the aid of a liberal Grant-in-Aid Scheme, and without being handicapped by low fees in Government Schools, to overtake the needs of an annually increasing population by the voluntary supply of Secondary and High Schools in proportion as the demand for such may grow.\n\nIn conclusion we would urge upon all local Educationists the importance of a careful study of the course which education has so far run in Hongkong. If we ignore the past, we cannot understand the present nor forecast the future.\n\n**E. J. E.**\n\n*Note. The paragraph headed '1860' requires the addition of the following remarks.\n\nDuring the year 1860, four Protestant Schools were at work. St. Paul's College School was attended by 53 boys costing $3,750. The 'Ladies' Chinese Girls School' at the Albany, under the tuition of Miss Wilson, was attended by 15 girls costing $1,500. St. Andrew's School, under the direction of Mr. J. Kemp, had an attendance of 70 boys and cost $1,200. Miss Legge re-opened the former London Mission Girls School with 2 teachers and 15 girls, costing $200.\n\n## DRAFT\n\nNo 88\n\nHong Kong Six W. Robinson Hiring Mr.\n\n**MINUTE**\n\n3. Lucas 6.

I think we can say they may further be smuggled out of the colony. If the effect is to be prevented, I feel utterly at a loss to suggest what to do. I am not alive to the importance of checking smuggling abuses. I am sure that two or three detectives perpetually travelling between Hong Kong & Singapore would not be a good investment. They would not prevent smuggling out of the Colony.\n\n## Report (11956) Shown to Mr. Lockhart 8th May\n\nI refer to the case of Po Lemy Kuk. I am not sure that the Detective scheme would work. I see that we should have to deal with the women being smuggled.\n\n## Minute by CPL\n\nPlease look at the enclosed Extract of a letter from Sir J. Russell. I especially draw your attention to what he says about the Po Lung Kuk case. The Detective scheme would not work, I think.\n\n## Minute by M. Lucas\n\nI will deal with this on 22nd June.\n\n## Minute by CPL\n\nProceed as proposed in my first minute.\n\n## Further Protection of Female Emigrants\n\nAs to the further protection of female emigrants from Hong Kong to the Straits by employing detectives to travel on the steamers, I frankly think that it would do little good and might do harm, for the class of men who are employed in such work must be most carefully supervised, as they are utterly unscrupulous, and would probably use their position to levy blackmail from Chinese Emigrants.\n\nThe case you refer to had cropped up before I left, I think. At least the Governor sent me the papers where two girls had been brought back to Hong Kong through the intervention of the Minister at Bangkok. If that is the same case, I think the girls had been sold and recognised the rights of the purchaser and passed all the examinations at both Hong Kong and Singapore. These people stick to the story they have been taught, and it is only finally when they find themselves landed in some out-of-the-way place that they see how they have been victimised.\n\nWhat the Government officers have to try and do is to ensure that these emigrants are thoroughly instructed that they are free on British soil and on British ships, and that the fact of money having been paid for them gives no power over them by the purchaser. I believe that is still done at the Emigration Office; notices are posted to that effect in the Canton steamers in the passenger accommodation. Except exercising the strictest vigilance, I don't see what we can do more, having regard to the liberty of the subject. Thomsett and I arranged a system of photos to be taken...",

(Colonial Regulations, § 430.)\n\nHead 3.-State the description of Allowance for which the Application is recommended, viz., Superannuation, Compensation, Compassionate Allowance, or Gratuity, and its amount. In the case of Persons claiming an addition to their Pensions in respect of Professional or other special qualifications, this should be stated, and a reference should be given to the authority under which the claim is made.\n\nHead 5.-If the service has been interrupted by one or more breaks, the word \"broken\" should be added before or after the number of years and months, and the causes, dates, and circumstances of the break or breaks should be stated under heading 9.\n\nHead 6-If the person retiring has been in receipt of the same Salary, or in the class from which he retires, for the 36 months immediately before the date of his retirement, the actual annual rate of Salary or Wages at that date should be inserted, preceded by the word \"actual.\" In other cases, the average annual amount of Salary or Wages for the 36 months next preceding the date of retirement should be inserted, preceded by the word \"average,\" but if the whole period of service is less than three years, then the average for the whole period of service should be inserted.\n\nHead 7.-A separate statement should be inserted of the average Annual Value, for the 36 months immediately preceding retirement, of each Emolument (exclusive of salary or wages) which is claimed to be included in the calculation of the Pension or Gratuity.\n\nWhenever the value of a House or House Allowance, so ascertained, exceeds one-sixth of the salary and other emoluments which count for Pension purposes, it is to be reduced to one-sixth of that amount, so that it shall not exceed one-seventh of the whole.\n\nFees which an Officer is allowed to retain for his own use will be taken into account for Pension purposes, with regular salary, at the annual average of the net receipts of the 36 months next preceding the Officer's retirement. These net receipts are to be ascertained by deducting from the gross amount of Fees such Office Expenses, &c., as an Officer may have had to defray from his own resources, in performing the services for which he was remunerated by Fees. No deduction, however, from the Fees should be made in respect of Office Expenses provided from Public Funds, for the due discharge of those duties to which a Fixed Salary is annexed. Papers of \"Particulars\" when forwarded to the Colonial Department should be accompanied by formal Declarations from the retiring Officers, showing the amount received by them for Fees, and the amount defrayed as above for Office Expenses, &c., in each of the three years immediately preceding the retirement. It will be the duty of the Colonial Governments concerned to satisfy themselves of the accuracy of such statements before forwarding them to the Colonial Office. In the case of Officers receiving Fixed Salaries and Fees, the Fees will not in ordinary circumstances be allowed to count for Pension purposes to the extent of more than one quarter of the Salaries, and Fees will not in any case be allowed to count for Pension purposes during any period in which the whole time of the Officer receiving them was not given to the Public Service.\n\nHead 8.-In cases of infirmity, if the Applicant is below the ordinary age for retirement, a Medical Certificate is to be furnished showing that he is disqualified by infirmity of mind or body for discharging the duties of his situation, and that such infirmity is likely to be permanent.\n\nIn case of ten years' service or more, this Certificate should be signed by two Officers, of whom at least one should, if possible, be a Salaried Officer of the Government.\n\nHead 9.—As to \"broken\" service, see Head 5.\n\nIf the Applicant has had any \"acting\" service, the details must be fully given, with a statement whether or not during the \"acting\" service, he was connected with the permanent Civil Service of the Colony.\n\nHead 11.—If, in special circumstances, a professional Civil Officer has been allowed to have \"private practice\" without forfeiting his claim to Pension, the facts are to be fully stated.\n\nHead 14-If the Applicant is liable to any deduction from his service under Clause 102 of the Colonial Regulations, the facts should be fully stated.\n\nHead 19.-The length of service and other particulars of the computation are to be given. When an average of Salary, &c., is taken, the mode of calculating it (whether by months, &c.) is to be explained.\n\nW.

A mortgage is an ordinary form of bona fide investment, but cases might easily arise in which the private interests of a mortgagee ... \n\nPage 421 \nBestre Werthe when disbund f.95",

        "content_text": "Whether they would lend money for such objects as local Sewers & drains is questionable, as it is not in the proper sense extraordinary. The Colony borrowed £25,000 for the Colombo Harbour under ordinance of 1875. You will see an account of the loan at page 9 of the Estimates. The colony paid 5 percent interest and 1 1⁄2 percent sinking fund - 8 1⁄2 per cent in total.\n\nThe Governor of Hong Kong is therefore in error when stating that the money was borrowed at high interest by the Commissioners. If I have spoken to M. Blake, but you may Confidential Despatch no. 23 Aug.\n\nA loan borrowed from the Public Works Loan Commissioners would presumably entail an immediate Sinking Fund at 2 1⁄2 percent, and as the Crown Agents fund will probably be able to borrow at 4 1⁄2 percent with one percent Sinking Fund; there would, therefore, be no object in applying to the Public Works Loan Commissioners unless they have lowered their terms since 1875.\n\nThey would waste time; a note to that effect would seem the best course to negative this scheme at once. Application to the Treasury on the subject but it would probably only result in a negative response.\n\nWe might at any rate make private enquiries as to the present dealings of these loan commissioners and have his views direct from Ion Lucas, like `$73`.\n\nThe English Public Works Loan Commissioners have no standing authority beyond the UK & the Colonies. In the case of Colombo Dockyard (and Galle Dockyard) there are Acts of Parliament that have paved the way.\n\nYou had better look there ups. The loan in the former case was based, I think, on the consideration that there was one of Imperial importance. The Colony's works are not of this category. It is said that Mr. O'Brien Andrews has put down £15,000 to fall into the error of suffering that the money has lent at 3 1⁄2 per cent interest.

        "content_text": "## Document Text\n\nby the Registration of the Supreme Court (W. Bromsten informs me).\n\nIf however W. Wise is appointed, I would suggest that he be informed (as in last par. of despatch) that the period during which he has acted as magistrate will not count for pension unless he chooses to qualify in Chinese within the 18 months in that despatch specified.\n\nAs to the salary of the post, I would make it £600. I would offer the appointment to Mr. Wise on those terms (unless there is some other promotion elsewhere).\n\nThe Governor suggests £412; £1655 is divisible by 4; 12; the figure to be offered is £600.\n\n### Note on Magistracy Post\nN.B. No steps to be taken to fill up the Magistracy until decision on abolishing the post (other posts) - I am sending circular minute on another paper.\n\n### Salary Decision\nI would not therefore reduce the pay below £600, which seems to have been agreed upon. M. Ackroyd drew $6480. Mr. Wise is to be given rather more work than Mr. Ackroyd.\n\nI would settle finally the difficulty of allowing Mr. Wise's service as magistrate to count for pension. I would not allow his not having learnt Chinese by mouthing to reverse this meaning, so that the matter can be closed for good & all.\n\nHe has been studying with Professor Douglas, but that was on the assumption that he would go back to the magistracy. If so appointed, there had better be a fixed penalty. I think, as the Governor says, $5500 (which is divisible by 12 like many other Hong Kong salaries), so I am inclined to offer the post at $5400, telling him that it will compromise the question whether his service is pensionable as Mr. Lucas proposes.\n\n### Final Decision\nTo Wise: I would offer the appointment at $5400.",
