They should be paid from the funds raised under the Ordinance, and should receive sufficient emoluments to ensure the appointment of trustworthy and competent men, who must be looked for in this country if there is any difficulty in finding them in the Colony.\n\nYou may find it desirable to consult the Governor of the Straits Settlements upon some of the details of the measures to be prepared, and I shall be glad if you will communicate freely with him upon any point in which the experience of that Colony may appear likely to be useful.\n\nThere remains the question of finance upon which I would observe that whilst it is in my opinion indefensible to make a tax on brothels a source of revenue to the Colony, it seems to me to be sound in principle and just to the tax payers that any amount required to meet the cost of the necessary control and supervision of these houses beyond the amount contributed by the Admiralty should be levied on the brothel keepers.\n\nShould the collections exceed the amount fairly chargeable to all the several departments which have to do with this service, including a due proportion of the Medical, the Police, and the Registrar-General's establishments, as well as the direct charges of the Lock Hospital and similar matters, the equilibrium between revenue and expenditure may be maintained by increasing the outlay should the efficiency of the service seem to require it; or by reducing the amount of the fees chargeable for registration of the houses,\n\nI have in conclusion to request you to take this whole subject into your careful and early consideration, and to transmit to me, with as little delay as possible, the draft of any Ordinance or Ordinances which you would propose to lay before the Legislative Council.\n\nIn reply to your despatch of the 13th of November*, I asked on the 31st of December† for explanations in support of your statement that the Ordinances of 1857 and 1867 have tended to intensify the evils of brothel slavery, but I do not delay this despatch until receiving your reply, as I shall be able to address you further on that point, should it be necessary to add to what I have said above.\n\nGovernor Sir J.

The European and Indian portion of the Force number nearly 300 strong, they are armed with rifles, and it is very essential for many reasons that they should be a drilled and disciplined body capable, when required, of united action. These reasons arise partly from the nature and ordinary functions of the Hongkong Police, partly from the duties which might fall to their share during a time of emergency.\n\n3. In dealing with this force it would be well to dismiss all recollections of the corresponding body in England. The Hongkong Police, however, presents a close analogy to the Royal Irish Constabulary. Like them they are an armed force; like them much of their duties lie amid a passively or actively hostile population, while the Lily and Triad secret societies organisations are more widely spread even than the Fenian Brotherhood, or the band Invincibles. The Hongkong Police are, moreover, often called on to cope with not only individual criminals, but with bodies of armed men organised for the sake of crime. A short time ago a shop in the centre of the town was attacked by a large band of men and everyone acquainted with Hongkong knows how frequently the Police have been called upon to encounter armed gangs of pirates and smugglers.\n\nDe Robeck 1/4\n\nMr. Wingfield.\n\nMr. Bramston.\n\nXM\n\nMr. Meade.\n\nSir R.

Gage Browne's Certificate in 9499, it is quite certain that were M. Cleaver an applicant for a pension as an ordinary civil servant we should refuse it, give him leave to rejoin his corps.\n\nOr again if the applicant for a pension under the Police Regulations, contained in the Notification of 1874, I think the local Govt might perfectly well refuse him on the simple ground that he is no longer a \"member of the force\".\n\nBut claiming as the man does under the special agreement under which he enlisted which contained a special clause re pension, it simply becomes a legal question what his rights are - I quite agree with W. De Robeck that having taken his 3 months leave, both just before the expiration of his 5 years service, then going into higher pay in another Department where the pension rules are quite different, he has morally forfeited all claim to the pension under the Police rules, unless there was a specific agreement reserving his right.\n\nBut I cannot help thinking that a law court might interpret the document differently. You will notice that there is nothing in the 3rd Clause to necessitate his 10 years service passed in the Police Department, & there is nothing in the 5th clause to the effect that a man who is given 3 month's pay thereby forfeits his claims under the 3rd clause; & the legal view may probably be that unless there was a specific agreement made in 1877, something amounting to that, he retained all his other rights under his original agreement.\n\nThe communication made then in 1877/79 by M-Price contains nothing whatever about pension. The probability is he tacitly intimated his concurrence in the stipulations of the transfer then proposed, the question is, if nothing further passed, whether he has lost his legal right. On the other hand, if the lawyer says he has still a right, I would not give him one penny.\n\nMINUTE PAPER.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-214 - Public Offices & Others - 1883.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 324641, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-214 - Public Offices & Others - 1883", "page_number": 674, "title": "CO129-214 - Public Offices & Others - 1883", "content_text": "to be a Member\n\nof the Police Force.\n\nHave\n\n10.

I heartily echo the tributes already paid to the fine work of the Hon. Inspector General of Police and his staff but it is no reflection on those services if I say that no police force in the world could of itself ensure the existing happy internal state of the Colony. I think that many of us who saw the wonderful manifestations of loyalty at the Silver Jubilee and the Coronation celebrations half wondered if that loyalty would stand the test in a real crisis. We now have the answer; and I take this opportunity of thanking the Chinese representatives on the two Councils for all that they have done. I thank the Urban Council, the District Watch Committee and the two Chambers of Commerce.\n\n### CHINESE MASSES\n\nBut above all I thank the solid and generally inarticulate mass of Chinese working men and women for their sound good sense and for their steadiness during this most distressful summer. I venture to think that if certain spectators in Europe and in the Far East could see this Colony with our Japanese friends going about their business quietly and unmolested they might agree that in this respect at least, Hong Kong \"shines like a good deed in a naughty world.\"\n\n### UNOFFICIAL TRIBUTE\n\nThe Supply Bill was then read and passed.\n\nThe Hon. Sir Henry Pollock, Senior Unofficial Member, said: As this will be the last time that you will be presiding over this Council for the time being, I desire, on behalf of all the Unofficial Members, to congratulate you upon the able manner in which you have conducted the duties of Officer Administering the Government.\n\nWhen you took over from Sir Andrew Caldecott in April last, nobody could possibly have foreseen the many difficult problems which you have had to face during the past two months, in consequence of the unfortunate state of hostilities which has arisen in the Far East, and which inevitably has seriously affected Hong Kong.\n\n### NOVEL AND UNEXPECTED SITUATIONS\n\nIn dealing with those problems, and in handling numerous novel and unexpected situations, you have at all times displayed calmness combined with energy, and for the steadfast and conscientious way in which you have fulfilled your duties as Officer Administering the Government during these critical times, the Colony is deeply indebted to you.\n\nThe Hon. Mr. T. N. Chan said:— Sir, As the Senior Chinese member, I heartily endorse the remarks of the Hon. Senior Unofficial Member. The Colony is indeed under a deep debt of gratitude to Your Excellency for the able and statesmanlike manner in which you have handled every difficult and intricate problem that has arisen in recent months.\n\nHis Excellency having returned thanks, Council adjourned sine die.\n\n## COURT MARTIAL\n\n### Sappers Deny Charge Of Desertion\n\nAdmitting, in mitigation, their realisation of being absent without leave but stating that they had no intention to desert, Sapper A.S. Andrews, aged 22, and Sapper F. Bird, aged 21, pleaded not guilty to charges of desertion from His Majesty's Service, and being absent without leave on September 18 when they faced trial by Court Martial at Wellington Barracks.\n\n| Role | Name |\n| --- | --- |\n| President | Major B.L. de Robeck, M.C. |\n| Member | Capt. S.J. Ritchie, M.C. |\n| Member | Lieut. L.C. Beadnell |\n\nCapt. G. Thomas conducted the prosecution, whilst Capt. M.W. Whitaker was Defending officer.\n\nSergeant-Major Robertson gave evidence of arrest. He stated that, on October 6, he boarded the Empress of Asia and took defendants into custody.\n\n### MITIGATION PLEA\n\nFirst defendant made the following statement: \"On Friday September 17 I left school in Hong Kong and went over to Kowloon about 7 p.m. I returned to barracks at 1.30 a.m. but did not report on my return as I had an appointment Saturday with the engineer of the President Jackson, and I was afraid that having already overstayed my leave I may be detained in barracks as punishment. The remainder of the night was spent at the Seamen's Institute.\n\n\"At 10 o'clock on Saturday morning, I went over to Kowloon with Sapper Bird to keep the appointment. Stopping at the Y.M.C.A. for a little while we went from there to David's Cafe where we met the engineer of the President Jackson, and had more drinks than was good for us. We then left the cafe, and went with the engineer of the President Jackson on board his ship and into his cabin.\n\n\"While we were talking, I told him we were absentees and would get into trouble when we returned to barracks. He suggested we should go away on the ship with him. I refused as I had no intention to desert.\n\n\"Sapper Bird and I then left the ship at 4.30 p.m. bound for our own barracks, and when passing the Kitano Maru, which lay alongside the President Jackson, an elderly lady, whom I know owns a Japanese Cafe in Wanchai, beckoned us on board. She was travelling first class with a few other passengers.\n\n\"We stayed talking on deck for a time with her, till she left us to talk to friends, saying she would be back in a few minutes, and in a dazed condition, I sat down on a deck chair and fell asleep.\n\n\"I woke up when a steward came beating a gong; the ship was then in Lyeemun Pass. We reported to the steward, who took us to the purser's clerk, and told him we were soldiers, and asked if we could be taken back. He said the ship could not be turned back for two soldiers. I then suggested we might go back on the pilot boat which was still alongside, but the purser refused. We were then sent below among the refugees in the third class, and they fed us with bread and water for four days. I realize I was absent without leave, but I had no intention to desert.\"\n\nSecond defendant gave a corroborative story.\n\nSentence will be promulgated in due course.\n\n## \"ADDING FUEL TO THE FIRE”\n\n### How Oil Supplies Facilitate Massacres\n\nPromiscuous and indiscriminate bombing by the Japanese of Chinese non-combatants in cities far removed from the scenes of war has aroused the righteous indignation of the world. The League of Nations has condemned such action. Will the Powers, after having expressed their attitude on this matter, permit Japan to continue a ruthless policy involving the massacre of innocent Chinese?\n\nHaving regard to their own interests and having regard to the frightful manner in which the Japanese are using the oil supplied to them for the mass-massacre of defenceless Chinese civilians, that it is reasonable to make the plea that those Powers should at least curtail their oil export so Japan will not have an unlimited supply to carry out her programme of inhuman aerial warfare.\n\nThe Powers need not be involved in any war with Japan, because no country is under any obligation to supply Japan with oil. If the oil companies, of which there are only a few that control the bulk of the world's oil supply, care only for immediate profits contemplated and have no consideration for the higher interests of their own countries as well as of humanity in general, world opinion should make them realize their responsibility to the human race. Unless materialism has eventually suppressed all sense of morality, then this appeal should not fall on deaf ears.\n\nAll that is expected is that the Powers concerned will not encourage or defend their oil companies in supplying Japan with oil far in excess of her peace time needs. If public opinion in these countries does not check such supplies, or if the Governments of the Powers insist upon fighting for the \"rights\" of their oil companies to make additional profits at the cost of the lives of thousands of Chinese non-combatants, then these Powers are really helping Japan to massacre innocent Chinese people.\n\nJapan's manifestly unrighteous attitude towards China in particular and the world in general should engender a spirit of friendliness toward China which can certainly be given a practical outlet in the way above suggested.\n\n## \"WE WILL KILL YOU\" THREAT\n\n### Amazing Allegation By Junk Master\n\nThe amazing allegation that Japanese warships in South China are now warning Chinese junk masters that unless they kept out of sight of Japanese warships they would be put to death, was made by a Hong Kong junk master on his arrival in the Colony on Oct. 21 after a fishing cruise.\n\n\"You Chinese are killing a lot of Japanese, if we see you again we will kill you,\" is what the Japanese are alleged to have told the junk master, Leung Hing Wai, who made a report of the matter to the local authorities.\n\nLeung said he was fishing off Namnoi, near Bias Bay, when a warship came up and several sailors armed with choppers boarded the junk. The sailors used their choppers to good effect on the mainsail, rigging and running gear and then left after having appropriated two small cannon and a couple of old muskets and issuing the warning referred to above.\n\n## CLOSE HOCKEY MATCH\n\nIn a fast-moving game on the Murray Parade Ground yesterday evening, a hockey team from the St. Andrew's Ladies' Hockey Club beat a side from the Seaforth Highlanders Ladies by the only goal scored.
