Consul; R.B. FORBES, Esq., U.S. Consul; and the other Foreign Consuls, Canton.\n\nGENTLEMEN,—At a Public Meeting held yesterday for the purpose of devising the best means of procuring specimens of the Produce and Manufactures of China, to be sent to the Exhibition of all Nations, to be held in London in 1851, a Committee of the following Gentlemen, the Honble Mr Edger, Mr Bush, U.S. Consul, Mr Stuart, and Mr Campbell, were appointed to do all that to them appeared necessary to further the objects for which the Meeting was held.\n\nThe Rules laid down by the Committee in London, require that a Central Authority in each country should be constituted by the Government of that country. As regards China, therefore, the Government of Peking would require to be applied to. This, however, would not in all probability lead to any satisfactory result, as the object would not be understood, and an application might even tend in some measure to defeat the efforts that may have to be made to obtain the specimens required.\n\nIt seemed therefore advisable to the Meeting, that a Central Committee should be appointed in this place, in order to conform as near as possible to the rules laid down in England, that that Committee should advise with the Committees which will be necessary to form in Canton and Shanghai, should correspond if necessary with the proper parties in London, and receive and forward from this, the articles that may be collected.\n\nWith that view the present Committee has been constituted, to be a connecting link and central point, and to assist as far as they are able in promoting the general object.\n\nIt is one in which nearly all nations are interested, and which they are expected to promote; it is one therefore, it is to be hoped, that will engage the attention of all in China, in which all will unite to carry out with energy, and if with combined effort, it will no doubt be effected in a manner worthy of the Foreign Community.\n\nWe cannot expect that articles will be forwarded by Chinese; we must therefore do so for them.\n\nPurchasers must be made and Committees will require to be appointed to make proper and suitable collections.\n\nThe Committee intend inviting parties here to put down in Paper the amounts they will guarantee towards the funds that may be needed; and should, after the sale of the articles in London, any loss occur, which is not likely, it will be divided proportionally to each, according to the amounts put down.\n\nThe Committee would recommend the same course to be followed at Canton, and the Manager of the Oriental Bank has kindly and liberally offered to advance the amount that may be thus guaranteed.\n\nAs the time now remaining for carrying out the objects we have in view, is very limited, you will no doubt agree with this Committee, that the measures that may be necessary should be adopted without delay; and although the aid and interference of Governments are purposely dispensed with, we would still hope that you will not object among your respective Countrymen, to assist in organising a plan with which all will be willing and anxious to co-operate.\n\nTrusting that the importance of the object we have in view will be a sufficient apology for addressing you on this occasion,—We have the honour to remain, Gentlemen, your obedient servants,\n\nFor the Committee,\n\nA. CAMPBELL.\n\nBRITISH CONSULATE, CANTON, 27th June, 1850.\n\nGENTLEMEN,—I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your favour of the 25th instant, and am much gratified to find that the Exhibition of the Industry of all Nations has excited so much interest.\n\nI imagine the official communications which have been made to Hongkong are from the Colonial Department.\n\nOur instructions have been received from the Foreign Office, through Her Majesty's Plenipotentiary, who has already, in conformity with those instructions, communicated with the Imperial Commissioner, as I have done with the local authorities, and with such other influential Chinese as are likely to assist in advancing our common objects.\n\nIn conformity with the directions I received to take such measures as I deemed most advisable for interesting both the British and the Foreign community, I requested all the Foreign authorities and Consuls with the leading merchants present in Canton, to assemble at the British Consulate on the 25th instant. The call met a universal and most cordial response. A large and influential Committee was immediately formed—various Sub-Committees were charged with the management of the details. I have reason to believe that the appeal for pecuniary co-operation will be liberally and even munificently met; and among the Sub-Committees is a Committee of Correspondence charged with the duty of communicating with the Committees of Hongkong, Shanghai, and any other localities with which it may be desirable to hold intercourse. I have the honour to enclose a copy of the proceedings for your information; and as your own views may be somewhat modified by what has taken place here, I am quite sure that your aid and co-operation will be highly valued.\n\nMr Forbes, who has most cordially lent his very valuable assistance, is now at Macao. The French, Dutch, Prussian, Peruvian, and Chilian Consuls are on the Committee, as is Dr Parker, the United States' Chargé d'Affaires. We cannot as yet say what amount of assistance we may derive from the Chinese, but we do not despair of some success among them, and have taken the necessary steps for that object.\n\nIn countries so remote as this, the mode of action cannot be strictly limited to the rules applied by our Government where Diplomatic relations are free and unrestrained, and where the disposition to co-operate is strikingly and so encouragingly manifested.\n\nI venture to anticipate that we shall be able to forward no unworthy contribution to the Exhibition, and I am sure that every favourable interpretation and every reasonable facility will await our combined exertions.\n\nI do not delay a post (not as the Chairman of the Canton Committee, but in my Consular capacity) in replying to your letter; and I can assure you that I shall be delighted to do every thing in my power in furtherance of a purpose nobly and generously conceived, and which ought to be carried out in the same spirit. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your most obedient humble servant,\n\nJOHN BOWRING.\n\nA. CAMPBELL, Esq.,\n\nand the Committee at Hongkong.\n\nH.B.M.

B. Majesty, will be carried out here in the same spirit.\n\nThe Meeting that was announced here on the 13th, and which took place on the 24th of last month, was not in consequence of any intimation from the Government of this settlement; it was not until the Meeting had assembled, that we were made acquainted that any instructions had been received from home; and we were not even then aware that your attention had, through Her Majesty's Plenipotentiary here, been directed to the subject.\n\nWe were appointed as a Committee to act in the only manner in which it was thought we could be of use; at the same time it is very far from our wish to be considered the Central Authority, if it is thought desirable to place it elsewhere.\n\nWe and others here are only anxious that a Central Authority generally, and if possible officially, recognised, should exist somewhere; and that for the purposes of the Exhibition, there should be a common fund, both being requisite in our opinion to the effectual carrying out of the object in which we are all interested. But we think that the circumstance of Canton acting independently of Shanghae and other places, will rather tend to defeat than promote that object, and by no means give to the undertaking the appearance and character which we had hoped it would have assumed.\n\nIf however you can succeed, as you think you will, in obtaining the recognition of your Committee as the Central Authority for China, by the Viceroy of Canton, the difficulty will be removed; and we shall then be glad to afford all the cooperation and assistance in our power. We have the honour to remain, Sir, your most obedient servants,\n\nF. T. BUSH.\n\nCHARLES J. F. STUART.\n\nA. CAMPBELL.\n\n[MR EDGER, absent.]\n\nCANTON, 16th July, 1850.\n\nMessrs F. T. BUSH, C. J. F. STUART, A. CAMPBELL,\n\nHonourable J. F. EDGER.\n\nGENTLEMEN,-At a Public Meeting of the Community held at the British Consulate on the 9th instant, relative to the Great Industrial Exhibition of 1851, your letter of the 6th July to Dr Bowring, H. B. M. Consul, was read, and transferred to the Corresponding Committee.\n\nAs Chairman of that Committee, the pleasing duty devolves upon me to express to you the satisfaction that the community here have felt at the interest that their Hongkong friends are taking in the proposed contribution to the Exhibition.\n\nThe Committee here do not doubt, from the zeal displayed, that the object will be carried out satisfactorily, and they will at an early day enter into correspondence with the London Commissioners through H.B.M. Plenipotentiary for the purpose of having articles sent from China, properly admitted to the Exhibition, and of explaining to them the anomalous position of the Foreign Community regarding any recognition of their acts by the Government of this country.\n\nYou are in error, it is thought, in supposing that Dr Bowring, in his correspondence with the Authorities in Canton, expected to obtain a recognition of the Committee here as a Central Authority, as his communications with those officials were only in the form of a notice of the intended Exhibition, in conformity with instructions that he had received from H. B. M. Government.\n\nThe Committee here will be pleased to have the Hongkong Community cooperate with them in carrying out the object in which they are engaged, and do not doubt that the well-known liberality of that community will be shewn in this case as it has been in all others. The Finance Committee here have already raised a considerable sum, and the Subscription List will soon be sent to your place.\n\nThe Committee have notified the Shanghae and Amoy Community through the Consuls and others at those Ports, of the steps that have been taken here, and have intimated to the former that they should leave them to act independently regarding funds, and the collection of articles they might wish to send to the Exhibition, but have expressed their readiness to forward such articles, should they wish to have them sent from this.\n\nThe arrival of the mail, and my absence from Canton for the past four days, has prevented me from having the pleasure of replying to your communication sooner.-I am, Gentlemen, your obedient servant,\n\nW. W. PARKIN, Chairman Corresponding Committee.\n\nW. W. PARKIN, Esq., Chairman of the Corresponding Committee.\n\nSIR, We have to acknowledge your letter of the 16th instant, in reply to our last communication to Dr Bowring, which was referred by him to the Corresponding Committee.\n\nWe observe that it is the intention of your Committee at an early date to enter into correspondence with the London Commissioners for the purpose of having the articles sent from China properly admitted to the Exhibition, and we regret to learn that our anticipations as to the result of Dr Bowring's communications with the Chinese Authorities have not been realized.\n\nWe also observe that your Committee have notified to the Shanghae and Amoy Communities, your readiness to forward such articles as they may wish sent for Exhibition, and that you leave them to collect their own funds and specimens.\n\nWe differ from your Committee as to the soundness of the principle involved in paragraph 6 of your letter under reply, namely, that the Committees at the different Ports should act independently of each other; as it will tend, we think, in many ways to lessen the value of the China contribution; but we have no doubt that your Committee have strong reasons for the course they are adopting.\n\nIn conclusion, we feel that, except as a Central Committee to correspond with the London Commissioners and advise with the Committees formed at the Consular Ports, and, as it were, to combine the efforts of the various foreign Communities, we cannot be of any great service in the good cause; and as your Committee have undertaken these duties, we have much pleasure in leaving them in your hands, trusting that this important and interesting work may be carried out in a manner to reflect credit on the Foreign Community of China, and worthy of the Exhibition. We remain, Sir, your obedient servants,\n\nC. J. F. STUART\n\nJ. F. EDGER.\n\nA. CAMPBELL.\n\nF. T.

The Governor has learnt with much pleasure that, during his absence from Hongkong, a com- mittee was formed for the purpose of carrying out the views of H. M.'s Commissioners for the Exhibition of Industry of all Nations, to be held in England in 1851, by instituting enquiries as to the possibility of sending home any articles from Hongkong, which might represent its produce or manufactures. He much fears that nothing of the above description is procurable in the Colony; for the reception of whose contributions, never- theless, 1000 square feet have been set apart by H. M.'s Commissioners; and is consequently his intention, unless he hears from the Committee, or other quarters, that there is ground to hope that the Colony may contribute something to the Exhibition, to request H. M.'s principal Secretary of State for the Colonies to inform the Commis- sioners of the inability of this Island to furnish any article worthy their acceptance, in order that the portion of ground allotted to it may be de- voted to the produce of some more favoured colony or country, the greater wealth of which may require extension of the space originally marked off for it. \n\nThe Governor would at the same time much regret that H. R. H. Prince Albert, and the other personages who take an interest in the success of his enterprise, should be left to suppose that their enthusiasm is in no degree shared by the inhabitants of Hongkong; and he therefore proposes to them to join with him in responding to the invitation of the Commissioners who have not omitted to assign to this small settlement a sufficiently honourable place. He observes that, in England, some of the larger towns, which boast neither arts nor manufactures, have testified their approbation of the scheme of the Exhibi- tion, and their zeal for its furtherance, by raising moderate subscriptions in aid of the building re- quired for the display of articles to be exhibited, or of the general expenses of the undertaking,—a convenient precedent, to the imitation of which he would invite the inhabitants of this Colony, each according to his means. \n\nThe Governor therefore forwards this memorandum of his proposal to the Local Committee, with a request that, if they concur with him therein, they will have the goodness to take such steps as they deem necessary to give it general circulation amongst the Community. \n\nS.

STUART, Esq.\n\nGEORGE LYALL, Esq., and others.\n\n16777/52\n\nPage 240\n\nFarwell Address of the CHINESE INHABITANTS of Victoria to His Excellency Sir GEORGE BONHAM, K.C.B., on the occasion of his departure for England, March 29, 1852.\n\n(Translation)\n\nYour petitioners, Shopkeepers, and Inhabitants of the Town of Victoria, and their representatives, Tong-shin, of Sheung-shui, Fong-wing, of Tai-ping-san, and Sung-king, of Cheung-sha-wan and Ha-tung, respectfully present this unanimous address to express their sincere wish to see Your Excellency return soon to your high position as Governor of this Colony, that they may once more look up to, and be in your precious presence.\n\nYour Petitioners call to mind with sentiments of the highest respect, the utility and benevolence that have ever characterised Your Excellency's administration since your arrival at the Colony—a benevolence that has never failed to seek out and relieve the secret griefs of every private individual, and wisdom, that has resulted in the marked improvement of the scale of our military defences.\n\nThey contemplate with rare gratitude the power that has undeservedly protected them, and congratulate themselves on the happy fortune that finds blessed tie with Your Excellency's overshadowing presence.\n\nThey ascribe the quiet existence they have passed in the undisturbed pursuit of their several vocations, wholly and entirely to Your Excellency's boundless benevolence.\n\nYour Petitioners have learnt with sentiments of deep reverence that Your Excellency is on the point of returning to England to be aired into the August Presence of Her Most Gracious Majesty: and while songs of eulogy resound throughout the Colony, every heart throbs with the assurance that Your Excellency will be gratified by a friendly and warm-hearted reception at the hands of Your Sovereign.\n\nYour Petitioners would contemplate with heartfelt awe that ability and intrepidity of character, the springs of which lie so deeply hid in Your Excellency's breast, and they would dwell with respect upon that purity and uprightness of soul, the fame of which has earned far beyond the seas.\n\nNow happily overshadowed by the clouds of Your Excellency's presence, Your Petitioners may look up and aspire, although unable to approach; ere long, however, deprived of Your Excellency's life-giving influence, it will only remain for them to dwell upon it in memory with ceaseless Affection and respect—it will be out of their power to divine when that happy day will come on which the fluttering of Your Excellency's gay streamers in the breeze, will indicate your longed-for return, and encourage them once again to trust themselves to the guiding star of their existence, and to bask in the sun of their day.\n\nBlest by sentiments of the deepest gratitude, Your Petitioners will feel it a privilege to escort Your Excellency's departing car, with heads bowed in the dust, and entreat Your Excellency to return in safety.\n\nWould that Your Excellency were not about to leave us? Would you please be persuaded in your rich benevolence to turn again, and come once more amongst us, that we might be again refreshed by your glorious presence, and once more overshadowed by your gracious protection? Now deeply and sincerely Your Petitioners desire it!\n\nYour Petitioners address this respectful petition, wishing Your Excellency peace and prosperity.\n\nTo His Excellency\n\nSIR GEORGE BONHAM, K.C.B.,\n\nHer Britannic Majesty's Plenipotentiary and Superintendent of British Trade in China, and Governor of Hongkong and its Dependencies.\n\n(Signed and sealed by 60 Individuals and Firms)\n\nWIL. MANWARING, Translated by\n\nChinese Secretary.\n\nMar. 1852\n\nReply of His Excellency Sir George Bonham, K.C.B.,\n\nto the Farewell Address of the Chinese Inhabitants of Victoria.\n\nHer Majesty's Plenipotentiary has been much gratified by the handsome and feeling address just presented to him by the Chinese Shopkeepers and Inhabitants of Hongkong, and he is rejoiced to find it is so much peace and prosperity prevail, and that they have enjoyed such freedom from all molestation.\n\nHer Majesty's Plenipotentiary heartily sympathises with the petitioners in the severe trials which so many of them have lately undergone, and he congratulates them on their present recovery from the effects of the fire through the exertions of the more influential among their body.\n\nHer Majesty's Plenipotentiary now leaves them in the sanguine hope that they will soon again enjoy their former peace and prosperity, and that on his return, he shall find the Colony in a flourishing and prosperous condition.\n\nGOVERNMENT HOUSE,\n\n30th March, 1852.\n\nPage 241", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-039 - Sir Bonham - 1852 [1-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 236284, "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": "CO129-050 - Sir Bowring and Lieut Governor Caine - 1855 [5-6]", "page_number": 148, "title": "CO129-050 - Sir Bowring and Lieut Governor Caine - 1855 [5-6]", "content_text": "Signed)\n\n\"\n\nToochow for.\n\n143\n\nW.

THURSDAY, 22D APRIL, 1858. \n\n**SUPREME COURT OF HONGKONG, CRIMINAL SESSIONS.** \n\nThis was all the evidence adduced, and after the libelous article was put in and read, Mr Day addressed the Jury for the defendant, and in a very ingenious speech expatiated largely on the liberty of the press, and the rights of our forefathers, and earnestly begged the Jury not to forego their rights, by their verdict. It was impossible to bring the Government of this colony into contempt, as the indictment alleged; everybody knew it was contemptible enough, without the aid of the defendant. It was notorious that the Government had not dared to indict them, but similar articles had appeared in all the local journals, and had not pounced upon his client. He was sure the Jury would establish their privileges by acquitting the defendant.\n\nMonday, 19th April, 1858. Jury—Messrs R. Deacon, A. Serrys, A. Gutierrez, F. Schirley, H. G. Stuart, W. Hyatt, and E. Thomas. **YORICK JONES MURROW,—Libel.** This case, which was postponed from the last Sessions on the alleged illness of the defendant, came on in order of trial. John Day, Esq., appeared as Counsel, and Mr E. K. Stace, Solicitor, for the defendant. The Honourable the Attorney General stated the case to the Jury, and said the defendant was charged with publishing a malicious libel, reflecting on the character of H. E. Sir John Bowring, in his capacity of Governor of this island. The libel itself consisted in an article which appeared in the **Daily Press**. (The learned Attorney here read the paragraph):— \n\n\"It is well known that our Governor has a near relative in one of our eminent houses. The **Phœbe Dunbar**, a ship consigned to that house, was chartered by government, without any tender having been advertised, at an unheard-of rate. The same thing occurred in the case of the **Lancashire Witch**, also consigned to the same eminent firm. The steamer **Ava** was detained (at least it was so alleged on the authority of General Ashburnham) in order to enable a steamer belonging to the same firm to reach Calcutta first with important advices upon the Opium market. The same influential establishment has enjoyed the exclusive privilege of having a special agent at Canton during the late occurrences, where they secured extensive premises before any rival could be in the field to compete with them. The notices of the removal of the blockade and regulations of trade, although placed in The Governor's hands to be made as public as possible, were on one occasion suppressed until after the departure of the mail, and on another issued on the day subsequent to the date of the Gazette. We shall find the sequel will be, jobbery, favoritism, and dishonesty riding rampant, clean hands being wanted to interpose a salutary check on practices usually considered mercenary and disreputable.” \n\nThe Court addressing the Jury said, first, that they must consider if the article was libelous, and was calculated to bring Sir John Bowring's conduct into contempt, and reflected on his private as well as on his public character; and secondly, was the defendant the author. If they were satisfied of this, they would find the defendant guilty; if, on the other hand, they believed the publication of the article not calculated to injure Sir John Bowring's character, or bring him into disrepute, they would return a verdict of not guilty. The Jury then retired, and returned in fifteen minutes with a verdict of **Guilty**, unanimously.\n\nThe defendant was then called up for judgment. His Lordship, in a feeling address, said he feared the defendant's pen had been emboldened by the reluctance of the Government to prosecute such scurrilous and defamatory articles as sometimes emanated from the press in this colony, and further, that defendant's pen had been emboldened by the very lenient sentence passed in a recent case before the Court—a simple fine, which was raised by subscription, thus setting the law at defiance. He had a painful duty to perform, but he should not shrink from it; he was determined to vindicate the law, and put a stop to the unmeasured abuse of public individuals. He therefore felt compelled to sentence the defendant to **Imprisonment for the period of Six Calendar Months**, and further that he do pay a **Fine of One Hundred Pounds** to the Queen, and be further Imprisoned till such fine be paid.\n\n**LUIZ J. DE JESUS**, Sworn. I was in the employ of Mr Morrow, as Printer of the **Daily Press**. The article in question was sent to me from Mr Murrow; it was in the handwriting of Mr L. E. Murrow, the defendant's brother. I received a letter from the Crown Solicitor, which induced me to write to the defendant, and in reply he acknowledged the article in question to have been dictated by him, though written by his brother. [Cross-examined by Mr DAY,—I cannot produce the note or the manuscript; all manuscripts were destroyed as soon as printed.]\n\n**The Hon. JOSEPH JARDINE**, Sworn. I have read the paragraph in the **Daily Press**. It refers to the Government, Steamers, and Merchants. There is a sentence which refers to the Blockade of Canton river. Our house is one of the firms mentioned. We have a son of Sir John Bowring, a partner in our firm. My impression after reading the article, is, that a serious charge of corruption is preferred against H. E. Sir John Bowring, as Governor. The **Lancashire Witch** and the **Phœbe Dunbar** were consigned to our firm; the former vessel was chartered to the local government; the **Phœbe Dunbar** was chartered to the Admiral. It is entirely false that the **Ava** was detained to enable our firm to send important advices per **Lancefield**, so that that vessel could reach Calcutta first. The steamer **Ava** was in the employ of Government. The cause of the delay was this: I had to attend a meeting of the Legislative Council, and when there, I found the **Ava** was advertised to leave the next morning with a mail for Calcutta. I then told Sir John Bowring, that I could not stop, having business to transact before its departure; and His Excellency replied that he would ask General Ashburnham to detain the steamer till 4 P.M.—if that would do. I said 2 P.M. would suit. After the Council we went to General Ashburnham for leave to delay the steamer till 2 P.M., when General Ashburnham said it was quite immaterial to him, and he would delay her till 9 A.M. the next day. [By Mr Day.] The Captain of the **Phœbe Dunbar** sent in a formal tender to the Government, which was accepted by Mr Mercer, the Colonial Secretary, for the Government. She was to go to Hainan with deported Chinese. She was to have £1 per ton for the first six months and 18s. per ton afterwards. This was the ordinary rate; other ships were getting an equal rate. It was never for a moment contemplated by us that the detention of the **Ava** was to enable one of our steamers to reach Calcutta first with advices relating to our Opium Market. There is not a shadow of truth in the assertion that it was for the purposes of jobbery that the steamer was delayed.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-067 - Sir Bowring - 1858 [1-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 247424, "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": "CO129-074 - Lieut.

Now, a Judgment stands against Mr. POLLARD on the records of the Supreme Court inflicting a fine (a very small one in reference to his position it is true) but so standing, the only way in which the decision can be brought before any superior Judicial Tribunal in the first instance is an appeal upon which a record will be transmitted to and become a record of the Judicial Committee, and upon such a proceeding, and upon such a proceeding only, is it competent for Mr. POLLARD to question my Judgment by Affidavits to be properly sworn and filed in what will then be a Judicial proceeding and on which the Privy Council can advise Her Majesty judicially.\n\n8. This was the course, I believe the only proper course, which I distinctly indicated to Mr. POLLARD, but which he has deliberately declined to adopt.\n\n9. In the interests of the body of Colonial Judges, to which I belong, I must decline to acknowledge Mr. POLLARD's right to adopt any innovation on this settled mode of procedure in these cases, unless His Excellency the Governor or His Grace the Secretary for the Colonies shall request me to adopt any other course.\n\n10. This was the course of proceeding in the case of RAINEY v. The Justices of Sierra Leone, (in 8 Moore's Privy Council Reports 47,) which case I had in my mind in quoting, indeed it was cited in the case of ex parte MCDERMOTT 1 L. R. App., p. 260 (1866) to which I referred in my decision, and it has been, I believe, the course adopted in every other case.\n\n11. With the consent of the Judge appealed against it is competent for the Privy Council to decide the legal question arising on my Judicial decision. There is the more reason why this course should have been adopted because on the 2nd of July, immediately before I gave my decision, Mr. POLLARD said he appeared under protest and denied the power of the Court to proceed at that time and in that manner against him for contempt alleged to have been committed at any time previous to that day. He thereby raised an issue of my legal right to fine, which never having been abandoned by him, remains as a subject for legal decision on appeal.\n\n12. Abandoning his proper course of appeal, Mr. POLLARD has presented a Petition to Her Majesty the Queen which is clearly not a Judicial proceeding, and he has himself deliberately incorporated by reference as an exhibit his Petition into his Affidavit making it thus part of an Affidavit—an illegal Affidavit as will be seen—and he has induced eleven other Gentlemen to make, and they have made Affidavits also illegal. These Affidavits and these only constituting his case. All these Affidavits were sworn before Mr. KAYE, a Justice of the Peace for this Colony.\n\n13. By the 5 and 6 W. 4 c. 62, the Act to make Provision for the abolition of unnecessary Oaths all extra Judicial Oaths except in specified cases (not including the present case) are prohibited, and every Justice is prohibited from receiving any Oath touching a matter whereof he has no jurisdiction. In R. v. Nott Car, and Mar. 288, Mr. Justice COLERIDGE held a Justice guilty of a misdemeanour under this Act, the Jury found that he had inadvertently administered the Oath and the Justice was sentenced to One Month's imprisonment. The case was afterwards discussed in the Queen's Bench in R. v. Nott, 4 Q. B. 768 and in 19 Law Jour, N. S. Mag., cases 143 and there at p. 146 Lord DENMAN said \"a mock tribunal might be erected without any real jurisdiction, before which the character of an individual might be ruined without redress\" were such a course to be allowed. That this is the Law of England appears clearly in 3 Rus. on Crimes pp. 113, 114.\n\n14. It appears therefore clearly the Law of England, that the taking and administering extra Judicial Oaths as in this case is illegal and criminal in England, and it is clear that this Law was brought to this Colony on its foundation with the rest of the then Law of England, then applicable.\n\n15. I object to Mr. POLLARD's documents therefore:\n\nFirst. Because appeal to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council was the appropriate and only appropriate remedy where there would be a record to be referred to, even if it should decide that it had no authority to adjudicate and if and when the Secretary of State might ask its advice subsequently.\n\nSecondly. Because Mr. POLLARD and all who have made Affidavits, which include the whole of his Petition to Her Majesty, have made Affidavits which are illegal and criminal acts, and such illegal Affidavits no one can legally recognise or look into for any purpose.\n\n16. On Saturday morning the 20th instant just after I had sent to find out the statute, which turns out to be the 5 and 6 W. 4 c. 62, above referred to, Mr. WHYTE came into my Chambers, almost immediately after I had risen from the Criminal Court, in reference to a Bankruptcy case, and I then pointed out to Mr. WHYTE the illegality of the Affidavits being made. He at once intimated that he had been afraid they were illegal and that he had so told Mr. POLLARD, but that Mr. POLLARD had thought otherwise and had proceeded. I also mentioned to Mr. WHYTE the case above referred to in 8 Moore's Privy Council Reports, and I further told him that in my opinion the only course to initiate future proceedings was by a motion for leave to appeal and I begged him to communicate these objections to Mr. POLLARD. Mr. WHYTE then told me that Mr. POLLARD was going in the afternoon to England via Calcutta in the Reiser, but that he would see him and communicate to him what I had said, that if, before he left, he would move for leave to appeal, I would give leave, which was all that would be necessary to initiate properly legal proceedings.\n\n17. I waited for Mr. WHYTE's return at my Chambers. He did return and informed me that he had communicated what I had said to Mr. POLLARD who declined to avail himself of my offer or to vary his proceedings.\n\n18. It is clear, therefore, that:\n\nFirst. Being apprised of its illegality, Mr. POLLARD deliberately proceeded by Petition to Her Majesty, made by reference part of an Affidavit, and verified by other Affidavits.\n\nSecond. Having had the regular course by appeal pointed out by me, first on the Second of July, and secondly, through Mr. WHYTE, he deliberately abandoned his only legal remedy.\n\nThird. That in this state of things, Mr. POLLARD's Petition is, with his knowledge, illegal.\n\nAnd I submit that Mr. POLLARD has no right to raise any question in respect of my decision and the fine of $200 except and unless it be in and through and after an appeal so regularly made as I have pointed out.\n\n19. I would only add that if for any purpose whatever, Mr. POLLARD's documents should be looked into, it should be borne in mind that the Affidavits were sworn fourteen, seventeen, and nineteen days after the occurrences respectively and that the only public contemporary records of what occurred on the 27th and the 20th of June, and the 2nd of July, are to be found in the China Mail published on the evenings of these days and in the Daily Press in the mornings, next after each of these days. These may have been colored by hostility to me or by partiality and friendship for Mr. POLLARD; but even these when checked each by the other will show that the language and conduct of Mr. POLLARD were not of the mild and respectful character which at this distance of time, the gentlemen making Affidavits may think and state them to have been and they sustain I think in the main what I said on the 2nd of July.\n\nMy Judgment which appears in these Newspapers was prepared immediately after the occurrences and was ready for delivery on the 1st of July and it is therefore almost equally contemporary. I feel that from the above reports and otherwise the facts I have stated can be sustained.\n\n20. I may be allowed to state that after a long and not unsuccessful practice at the Equity Bar in England without a difference with either a Judge or Barrister, I was recommended to the Colonial Secretary for Office in this Colony by Lord Justice TURNER, Lord CAIRNS, Lord Justice, Lord ROMILLY, M. R., three Vice-Chancellors, Sir J. STUART, Sir W. P. WOOD, and Sir RICHARD MALINS, and Mr. JAMES, Vice-Chancellor of Lancaster, and I had testimonials from a very large number of Queen's Counsel, my personal and professional friends, whose friendships I still enjoy. Since I came here as Chief Justice I have uniformly been, on and off the Bench, on the most satisfactory terms with the three other Barristers practising here, and, apparently, with Mr. POLLARD, until he drove me to the course I most unwillingly took, and that during the same period, I have had not one question or difference with the five respectable Attornies who practice here. With Mr. POLLARD alone have I ever had a difference; I have occasionally borne much discourtesy from him; but for some time before, and on the 27th of June, we were on friendly terms. It is very strange indeed therefore if, without any cause, I should have treated Mr. POLLARD on the 27th of June in the way he designates as \"an arbitrary, intemperate, unjust and tyrannical manner.\"\n\nI have the honor to be,\n\nSir,\n\nYour very obedient Servant,\n\nWm. \n\nChief Justice.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-123 - Sir MacDonnell - 1867 [7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 271292, "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": "CO129-125 - Sir MacDonnell - 1867 [10-11]", "page_number": 248, "title": "CO129-125 - Sir MacDonnell - 1867 [10-11]", "content_text": "I'm the \nme FasL \nthere \nwere \nnineteen Europeans and fifteen Malays, sixteen of the former being from the wreck of the \"Stuart Worthy\" S.132, London, from the \"Par Ansard\" \nand one \n(sailing with the Consul's provisional Artificial) which vessel stranded on the coast of Manila.\n\nFifteen Malays \nKu \nwere also from \nthe wreck of the \"Par besert\". \n\n3. \nIn the second case \nthere \nwere \neight Europeans, who had been discharged from the Struck ship \"Jardinia\", b. 35,514, after her condemnation and abandonment at Manila, in consequence of \n246 \ninjury sustained during the late violent Gales.\n\n# \nThere \nmen were forwarded by Consul Ricketts by virtue of Paragraph 88 of the Consular instructions \nand in accordance with the Consul's request that the Captains of the two vessels who brought their distressed men here should receive payment for so doing at the rate of seventeen dollars for each European, and thirteen dollars for every Malay, I directed that such payment should be made from the Colonial \nTreasury.\n\n$518.5. \nThe case of six hundred and eighteen dollars in the former", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-125 - Sir MacDonnell - 1867 [10-11].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 272582, "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": "CO129-128 - Public Offices & Others - 1867", "page_number": 140, "title": "CO129-128 - Public Offices & Others - 1867", "content_text": "## THE LONDON AND CHINA TELEGRAPH\n\n### Aug. 13, 1867\n\n**CANTON MARKET REPORT**\n\nFine, 30 to 40 taels, short; sales, 11,976 chests. Oolongs: Common to good cargo, 20 to 28 taels, short; fine, 30 to 33 taels, short; sales, 22,300 half-chests. Flowery Pekoes: Common to medium, no sales; fine to finest, no sales. Scented Teas: Common to medium, 18 taels, short; fine to finest, 28 to 36 taels, short; sales, 15,656 boxes.\n\nCANTON-Country Congous: Three chops have been taken at from Tls. 17 to 18, leaving a stock of 54 chops or 3,764 pkgs. Although musters of a few chops of the new crop have arrived, it would be premature as yet to express any opinion concerning them. Country Greens remain unnoticed. Canton-made Teas: Considerable settlements have taken place both in Scented Orange Pekoes and Scented Capers; prices have been somewhat irregular, but as a rule they are tending upwards. Canton Congou of new make has received rather more than usual attention, and Gunpowders have been inquired for to a moderate extent. Quotations are as follows:-\n| Tea Type | Price (Tls.) |\n| --- | --- |\n| Country Congou | 17 to 18 |\n| Canton Congou (new make) | 24 to 27 |\n| Young Hyson | 22 |\n| Scented Orange Pekoe | 23 to 32 |\n| Scented Caper | 13.5 to 29 |\n| Gunpowder | 20 to 27 |\n\nElls and Lastings show a slight improvement in price, a slight demand having arisen for these goods; Long Ells continue very scarce. Metals: Lead continues firm, as a Canton demand still continues; other metals remain much as before reported. Coals continue firm; a cargo of 1,100 tons Bristol Channel Coal has been sold at 16 dols. per ton ex ship.\n\n**SHANGHAI MARKET REPORT**\n\nThe market has somewhat improved; the arrival of the steamer from Tientsin having given an impetus to several articles-any improvement in that market acts favourably on prices here. Grey Shirtings are in fair demand, and holders not forcing sales, prices are steady at quotations; best Eagles 8 lbs. 4 oz. tls. 2.00. T-Cloths: A little lower for inferior makes, but best goods still wanted; of these there are but few. White Shirtings are quite neglected; Drills in better inquiry and prices rather firmer. Woollens: Long Ells. 7.95 for H.H. assorted, and 7.20 for C.P.II.; Scarlet do not maintain their value of a fortnight since. Camlets: A few sales of favourite colours are reported at fair prices, but ordinary assortments continue very dull of sale. Spanish Stripes: 1.H. have been sold at 65 cents per yard; the demand is not active, and in other woollens there is no new feature. Metals: There is little change to note; buyers have fairly supplied themselves; stocks have not been increased, and prices remain about the same; Nail Rod, for best brands, tls. 2.50 to 2.55 per picul. Coals: Stocks have been increased by the vessels named as arrived from Sydney, and the cargo of the Lady Alice from Nagasaki. Quotations: Cardiff, from ships' side, tls. 15, N. Wales, tls. 14, nominal; English, s. 14 to 15, nominal; Anthracite, tls. 13 to 13.50, nominal sales, to arrive, at tls. 13.25.\n\n**YOKOHAMA MARKET REPORT**\n\nA decided improvement is noticeable in Grey Shirtings and Cotton Yarn, and a good business, both on the spot and to arrive, has been done in both staples at a slight advance on our last quotations. Stocks of Yarn are very light. We have to notice a contract just concluded for 156 bales, to be delivered in six weeks, at the following rates:-\n| Quantity | Price |\n| --- | --- |\n| 16 to 24 | $3.68 |\n| 28 to 32 | $3.70 |\n| 38 to 42 | $3.78 |\n\nA fair inquiry has commenced for Chintzes and other light summer goods, and it is worth notice that, in consequence of rumours that the French contracts for Black Cloth will be annulled, this article is again saleable, and a slight demand has sprung up. Most other Woollens continued quite inactive, a forced sale of Camlets S.S at $15.50 being the only transaction calling for remark. In Metals, more business is doing; a demand existing for hoop and Nail Rod Iron and bead, and some improvement in prices is apparent.\n\n## CHINA EXPORTS\n\n### TEA\n\n#### YOKOHAMA\n\nThe new season has been opened by the arrival of about 700 piculs of medium and good medium teas, the bulk of which was bought to complete the cargo of the Benefactress for New York, at an unnecessarily high figure: say from 27.50 to 30 dollars. The quality of this first sample is not satisfactory, but considerable arrivals are now daily expected, when we shall have fair opportunities of judging of the character of the new crop. The remaining stock of last season's tea is about 2,000 piculs, and quite unsaleable. We give no quotations, therefore, for any but the kinds at which, as we have stated, business has been done.\n\n#### SHANGHAI\n\nBlack.--A small inquiry has sprung up during the past few days for the new Ningchows and Hohows, and as much as Tls. 24.0.0 has been paid for a chop of each kind. Settlements have been light, but a very large amount of reshipments have taken place. The rates paid for the finest Teas are about equivalent to those ruling at the opening of last season, but fair and medium are obtainable at somewhat easier prices. \n| Category | Quantity (Chests) |\n| --- | --- |\n| Settlements for the fortnight | 3,700 |\n| Reshipments on owners' account | 68,400 |\n| Stock | 26,500 |\n\nQuotations.-Hobow, fine to finest, 32 to 34 tls. per pcl.; Congou, common, 23 to 28 tls. per pcl.; Ningchow, fair to finest, 29 to 34 tls. per pcl.; Pouchong, 29 tls. per pcl. Green. Only two chops of common Tea have been settled during the fortnight at Tls. 23.5.0, and the season is nearly closed. \n| Category | Quantity (Half-Chests) |\n| --- | --- |\n| Settlements for the fortnight | 415 |\n| Stock | 5,000 |\n\n#### HANKOW\n\nThe business of the fortnight has been exceptionally large, and shipments continue on an enormous scale. Two settlements of finest Teas have been made at full rates, while medium to fine have advanced in value early Tls. 2.0.0. At the same time sales have been somewhat irregular. Quotations were-Oopacks and Congou-kais, medium to good, Tls. 24.0.0 to 29.5.0; finest, Tls. 30.0.0 to 31.5.0 Oonams, fair to fine, Tls. 19.0.0 to 24.5.0. \n| Category | Quantity |\n| --- | --- |\n| Export of Tea from 1st January to 15th June, 1867 | 11,591,467 lbs. |\n| Export of Tea from 1st January to 15th June, 1866 | 7,414,926 lbs. |\n| Increase, 1867 | 4,176,541 lbs. |\n| Stocks | 29,000 chests |\n\n#### KIIKIANG\n\nBlack Teas: About 25,000 packages are to hand. With the exception of the purchase of two small chops at tls. 26.0.0 nothing was done on the market till the 11th, when six full chops of finest Ningchows found buyers at tls. 25.5.0 to 28.0.0 per picul, and since that date little has been doing. \n| Category | Quantity (Packages) |\n| --- | --- |\n| Export from 1st January to 15th June, 1867 | 15,097 |\n| Export for the same months of 1866 | 17,106 |\n| Decrease, 1867 | 2,009 |\n| Stock | 30 chops |\n\n#### FOOCNOW\n\nCongou: The price for the finer descriptions has continued firmly supported during the past fortnight; the rates for the commoner grades, which were slightly easier after the departure of the last mail, have advanced to about the former scale, in consequence of the demand for Australia. Souchong: The teas, being generally of good quality, have been freely taken for shipment to the United Kingdom; a large proportion of this description is more or less \"tarry.\" Oolongs: Full prices have been paid for these kinds, but rates are now slightly easier; the demand for America has not yet commenced. Scented Teas: Those at first offered were deficient in scent, the flowers being very backward; the teas have in many instances, however, commanded full prices; those now coming forward are better scented. \n| Tea Type | Sales (Chests) | Price (Taels) |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Congou: Dust and broken leaf kinds | ... | 8 to 9, short |\n| Congou: Ordinary common | ... | 10 to 14, short |\n| Congou: Light flavoury | ... | 19 to 24, short |\n| Congou: Good flavoury to medium Kysow kinds | ... | 25 to 32, short |\n| Congou: Fine Kysow kinds | ... | 32 to 40, short |\n| Congou | 31,326 | ... |\n\n### SILK\n\n#### YOKOHAMA\n\nBusiness has, of course, been on a very small scale during the fortnight. The exhaustion of our stock is sufficient to account for this, even with the general suspension of home orders, consequent on the fear of war and uncertainty regarding the new European crop. Stocks do not exceed 250 piculs, chiefly of mixed, low kinds.\n\n#### SHANGHAI\n\nDuring the past fortnight considerable transactions have taken place at higher rates, and the settlements are estimated at fully 4,000 bales: making a total of 5,700 bales since the 1st June. The demand has been chiefly for chops and good silks, and lower grades would have been bought at comparatively cheaper rates.\n\n#### CANTON\n\nAfter the arrival of the English mail with rumours that the total yield of the Continental crop would be much smaller than that of last year a good demand for fine silk sprung up. Quotations are as follows:-\n| Silk Type | Price (Dols.) |\n| --- | --- |\n| Loongkong, No. 1 | 560 to 566 |\n| Loongkong, No. 2 | 545 to 550 |\n| Kowkong | 500 to 510 |\n| Rec'd Cumchuck | 595 to 600 |\n\n## SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE\n\n### ARRIVALS\n\n| Port | Ship | Origin | Date |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Hong Kong | Helen | Newcastle | June 16 |\n| Hong Kong | Princess | Cardiff | 23 |\n| Hong Kong | Stuart Wortley | Clyde (via Singapore) | 27 |\n| Hong Kong | Tai-wang (steamer) | ... | 21 |\n\n### DEPARTURES\n\n| Port | Ship | Destination | Date |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Hankow | Challenger | London | June 17 |\n| Hankow | Ada | London | 19 |\n| Shanghai | Gossamer | London | 18 |\n| Shanghai | Whinfell | London | 21 |\n| Foochow | Flying Spur | London | 9 |\n| Foochow | Black Prince | London | 10 |\n| Hong Kong and Canton | Ajax (str.) | London | 27 |\n\n## VESSELS LOADING\n\n| Port | Ship | Destination |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Yokohama | Havelock | New York |\n| Shanghai | Isles of the South | London |\n| Shanghai | Elmstone | London |\n| Foochow | Chusan | London |\n\n## FREIGHTS AND CHARTERS\n\n| Port | Route | Freight Rate |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Yokohama | To London | £3 to £3 10s. per ton |\n| Yokohama | To New York | £2 10s. to £3 |\n| Shanghai | To London | £3 to £3 10s. per ton |\n| Foochow | To London | £3 10s. per ton |\n| Hong Kong and Canton | To London | 43s. per ton |\n\n## MISCELLANEOUS\n\nThe P.M.S.S.

In the centre was placed a large American shield, flanked on each side by British shields and surmounted by the American, French, and English ensigns. A guard of honour of the 27th (Inniskillings), with the Colours and the Band, were drawn up on the Pier, and the Police, under the charge of Captain-Superintendent Deane, lined the road from the Pier to Government House. His Excellency the Governor, who arrived at a quarter to five o'clock, accompanied by Major Palmer, R.E., A.D.C., stood at the head of the steps to receive the General, and the heads of the naval, military, and civil services and the members of the Legislative Council were also assembled at the head of the pier. His Excellency the Governor was dressed in plain clothes and wore his C.M.G. star. The naval and military officers were in undress uniform. Most of the British and foreign residents, with one or two ladies, and a large number of Chinese were likewise present on the pier, which was lined on one side three or four deep. Along the route up to Queen's road a large concourse of people had collected, all eager to catch a glimpse of the distinguished visitors.\n\nAt ten minutes to five the Victoria came alongside the Murray Pier, and the General with Mr. Holcombe landed. His Excellency the Governor, descending a few steps, said - \"General Grant, welcome to Hongkong.\" On entering the mat-shed, His Excellency presented General Grant to Major-General Donovan, Sir John Smale, Chief Justice; Hon. J. Russell, Acting Attorney-General; Hon. M. S. Tonnochy, Acting Colonial Treasurer; the Right Rev. Bishop Burdon, Hon. P. Ryrie, Hon. J. M. Price, Surveyor-General; and Mr. Tam King Sing, the Opium Farmer.\n\nThe Governor was then introduced by Mr. Holcombe to Mrs. Grant, Lieut. Colonel F. D. Grant, Hon. A. E. Borie, Dr. Keating, and Mr. J. R. Young. His Excellency next presented to the General the Hon. W. Keswick, Mr. Taro Ando, Japanese Consul; Dr. Eitel, Inspector of Schools; Dr. Ayres, Colonial Surgeon; Mr. Ng Choy, Lieutenant-Colonel Hall, R.A., Colonel J. Moore, Commissary-General of Ordnance; Colonel Geddes, 27th Regiment; Mr. E. R. Belilios, Commander B. E. Corcoran, H.M.S. Lily; Lieutenant-Colonel C. R. Shervinton, Assistant Commissary-General; Dr. S. S. D. Wells, Deputy Inspector-General, R.N., Mr. D. Robb, R.N., Colonel Stuart, R.E., Staff Commander G. P. Heather, R.N., Captain J. Muskett, and Mr. J. Bremner, R.N. The above gentlemen were introduced in the order named. His Excellency then gave his arm to Mrs. Grant, and the party proceeded along the pier, the guard of honour saluting as they did so, while the Band played. By some unexplainable oversight the usual British cheer was inadvertently omitted.\n\nThe front of the Victoria Recreation Club was decorated with bunting, and the premises of Messrs. McEwen, Frickel & Co. on the Praya were draped with flags. The private residence in Wyndham-street of Mr. W. H. Moors was illuminated with Chinese lanterns, and a transparency displaying a well-executed likeness of General Grant on one side and the American and British flags on the other. Photographs of the scene at Murray Pier were taken by Mr. Afong, as the landing was being effected.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-184 - Governor Hennessy - 1879 [1-5].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 303748, "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": "CO129-184 - Governor Hennessy - 1879 [1-5]", "page_number": 340, "title": "CO129-184 - Governor Hennessy - 1879 [1-5]", "content_text": "received not only in England, but in India, and in the British colonies; wherever, in fact, I have met Englishmen, I have met nothing but courtesy, hospitality, and good will to myself and my country.

For this reception, more especially for the reception in Hongkong, I am grateful, as I know my friends and countrymen at home are grateful for the kindness that I have been honoured with during the last two years. I do not know that I can say anything better, nor anything which is nearer to my heart, now that I am leaving the British Empire, than to ask you all to unite in this sentiment: The perpetual friendship and alliance of the two great English-speaking nations of the world-England and America.\"\n\nThe General's toast was drunk by all the guests upstanding. Soon after, the ladies retired to the large drawing room, and at ten o'clock General Grant, the Governor, and the Aide-de-Camp, with Mrs Grant and Mrs Hennessy, proceeded to the vestibule, where every person on arrival was received and presented to the General by the Governor. These presentations lasted for more than an hour.\n\nThe guests on arriving were met in the hall by the Governor, and were presented to His Excellency by Major Palmer, A.D.C.; the Governor presented his guests to General Grant; Mr C. V. Creagh presented them to Mrs Hennessy, by whom they were introduced to Mrs Grant.\n\n## The Reception\n\nThe Government House grounds were brilliantly illuminated. On both sides of the numerous walks, slight bamboo frames had been erected, and cords, invisible to the eye unless carefully looked for, ran from one to the other all the way round, one cord three feet, another six, from the ground. Every four feet or so a Chinese lantern was suspended from the cords, these being fixed alternatingly on the high and low line. The effect was brilliant and beautiful and striking in the extreme, and the large company seemed greatly to prefer roaming about amid those thousand lights to staying in the Reception rooms. The Governor and Mrs Hennessy walked round frequently amid their numerous guests, His Excellency with Mrs Grant, and General Grant with Mrs Hennessy. The American Star, a large design in gas, on the north side of Government House, was greatly admired. The fairy-like beauty of the scene could scarcely have been enhanced. The lovely dresses of the ladies, the bright and varied uniforms of the officers of different nationalities present, the delightful music of the band, the merry laughter coming from various groups in different portions of the grounds, altogether made up a pleasing, lively and beautiful scene. It was not till nearly midnight that the company began to thin, and by a few minutes after that hour the guests had departed, the visitors were indoors, the lamps \"burnt low, and silence and darkness again assumed their sway. The gathering was in every way most successful, and every one seemed heartily to enter into the spirit of the occasion, and honour the General they had been invited to meet.\n\nThe following programme was performed by the band of Her Majesty's 37th Regt.

Keswick, and Col., Mrs., and Miss Hall. The band of the 27th Regiment was in attendance and played the following selection, under the direction of Herr Werner, bandmaster: Overture... \"Fra Diavolo\" Auber, Polka \"O Katchke\" Stasey, \"Swedish Air\" Anon., Selection \"Beatrice di Tenda\" Bellini, Valse \"First Roses\" Werner, Jun., Reminiscences of Ireland... Godfrey.\n\nAt the close of the dinner His Excellency the Governor proposed the toast of \"The Queen,\" which was most loyally received, the band playing the National Anthem.\n\nImmediately afterwards His Excellency rose and said- Professor Nordenskiöld: In the name of my Sovereign, Queen Victoria, I have the honour to welcome you and your companions to Her Majesty's dominions.\n\nSix centuries ago Marco Polo came from Europe to China. Two centuries later, the Portuguese crossed the Indian Ocean, entered these seas, and landed within a few miles of this Island, and subsequently the direct voyage across the Pacific was undertaken. The nineteenth century can now add to the roll of its triumphs the fourth and final route from Europe to Asia. It is our privilege to-night to behold the illustrious man who has done this-who left Europe fifteen months ago and is received by us after sailing through the Arctic Seas and accomplishing the North East passage. No generation to come can witness the completion of a voyage rivalling this. We be bold as it were in this remote outpost of Europe the writing of the last words in the last chapter of heroic maritime discovery.\n\nI congratulate the Sovereign of Sweden on the gallantry and success of His Majesty's sailors, led by Captain Palander and the officers of the Vega; I congratulate that great republic - the World of Science - on the achievement of one of her choicest citizens, Professor Nordenskiöld. Ladies and gentlemen, let us drink his health and that of his companions.\n\nHis Excellency's toast was received with enthusiasm, and the band played the Swedish National Air.\n\nProfessor Nordenskiold then rose and replied in Swedish. He has favoured us with the following translation: I have to thank your Excellency, on behalf of my comrades and myself, for the kind words you have used in proposing our healths, and the ladies and gentlemen present for the kind manner in which they have received the toast. Already to-day, in another place, I have had to thank the Inhabitants of Hongkong for the handsome way in which the Swedish expedition has been received in this Colony, and I then stated our visit here would be one of the pleasantest remembrances of the Vega's voyage. To your Excellency's guests on the present occasion I beg to repeat the same thing, but especially I have to thank your Excellency for the munificent hospitality you have extended to myself and Captain Palander at Government House, where we have been guests during our stay here.

Bills have been introduced into the Ceylon Legislature under instruction from the Imperial Government. They have been uniformly opposed by the representatives of the Mercantile community and other Unofficial members, who have advanced arguments identical with those contained in your letter.

They were aware that no claim to such exceptional privileges had been actually set up by any Foreign Mail Steamers visiting this port, although some privileges had been sought on one or two occasions in a manner which appeared to imply that the Company could claim them as a right, but after receipt of your communication, I was directed to call the attention of our Commissioner of Trade and Customs to the matter, and on looking up a copy of the Convention above referred to, it was deemed advisable to have an official ruling upon the question by the Law Officers of the Crown and a record of their decision. Accordingly, the Attorney General was asked to furnish the Minister of Customs with his interpretation of the law on the subject. A copy of that Hon. Gentleman's \"opinion\" has been furnished to this Committee, and I have now the pleasure to enclose same to you. From this, you will see that no claim to special privileges on the part of foreign subsidized Mail Steamers in or will be recognized at the ports of this Colony.—I have, &c.,\n\n**F.

MacEwen, Vice-Chairman, \n**HONGKONG GENERAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.**\n\n## APPENDIX III\n\n### EXTRACTS FROM CORRESPONDENCE WITH THE GERMAN GOVERNMENT\n\n#### (The Earl of Rosebery to Count Hatzfeldt)\n\nFOREIGN OFFICE, \nApril 20th, 1886.\n\nI have placed myself in communication with the Secretary of State for the Colonies with reference to the best mode of giving effect to the wishes expressed by your Government that the privileges of Ships-of-war which are accorded by Article V of the Convention between Great Britain and France of September 24th, 1856, to vessels subsidized by their respective Governments for Postal purposes should be extended to the North German Lloyd's line of steamers which is about to be established between Germany, China and Australia, and which will receive a subsidy from the German Government for the carriage of mails.\n\nI have already informed your Excellency that Her Majesty's Government are most willing to comply with the wishes of the Imperial Government in the matter, so far as they can legally do so, and I will proceed to explain the position of Her Majesty's Government with reference to the Postal Convention with France of 1856 and to a similar convention with Belgium of February 17th, 1874, both of which contain the same provision granting the privileges of Ships-of-war to subsidized Postal Vessels.\n\nFrom the time when the French line of the Messageries Maritimes first began to run to India and China, difficulties have constantly arisen to the application of Art. V of the French Convention by reason of the Commanders of the steamers of that Company insisting, with the support of French Consuls, upon exercising the privileges conferred by it in their strictest sense, and so as to defeat the course of criminal justice and to deprive in certain cases private individuals of their civil remedies. In 1878, a case of collision arose at Dover between a subsidised vessel of Belgium, `Le Parlement Belge`, and the British steam-tug `Daring`, which raised the question of the privileges granted by the Belgian Postal Convention before the Tribunals in this Country.

The prisoner was employed by Messrs Arthur and Co., whose manager here was Mr. Ogilvie, and he owed them a sum of about $900. Mr. Ogilvie in January last pressed for payment and the prisoner told him that although he had not the cash he would give a promissory note backed by a guarantee. Chan Yau Lok was mentioned as the surety and it was expressed, his willingness to sign. A promissory note was drawn up by Mr. Ogilvie and signed by the parties, but later on it was found to be worthless by the fact that it was unstamped. Mr. Ogilvie went to the office and told the prisoner that the note had no value and that a new one would have to be drawn up on duly stamped paper. The original document was returned to the prisoner, and a new promissory note was made out. The prisoner went to Chan Yau Lok to get it signed as his guarantor and returned with the signature. From what Mr. Ogilvie learned afterwards, however, it transpired that Chan Yau Lok denied the signature and disputed his liability. The prisoner was therefore charged with forging Chan Yau Lok's signature and uttering the forged note.\n\nEvidence was then taken.\n\nThe jury returned a unanimous verdict of guilty and His Lordship sentenced the prisoner to two years' imprisonment with hard labour.\n\n22nd May.\n\nIN ORIGINAL JURISDICTION. BEFORE HIS HONOUR J. ACKROYD AND A SPECIAL JURY.\n\nTHE HONGKONG WEEKLY PRESS AND\n\nFIRE IN QUEEN'S ROAD WEST,\n\nTHE NATIONAL BANK OF CHINA, LIMITED, V. HIM KEE ALUM This was an action brought by the National Bank of China, Limited against Him Kee Alum, trader, of Foochow, to recover £2,460 4s. 5d. or its equivalent in dollars, due by the defendant on shares held by him in the plaintiff company, and for interest thereon at the rate of ten per cent.\n\nMr. J. J. Francis, Q.C., and Mr. H. E. Pollock (instructed by Mr. Wright, of Mr. V. H. Deacon's office) appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. E. Robinson (instructed by Mr. Bowley, of Mr. H. L. Deacon's office) represented the defendant.\n\nThe following special jury was empanelled: Messrs. H. M. Joseph, M. S. S. Sassoon, J. T. V. Vernon, J. B. Donghtyric, J. J. B. Heemskerk, B. C. Wilcox, and W. B. Loxley.\n\n(May 24, 1894.) DEFEAT OF THE ANTI-FOREIGN PARTY IN JAPAN,\n\nWe learn that a telegram has been received from Tokyo stating that in the House of Representatives the motion for the adoption of an address to the Emperor, of which the prominent feature was the Radical idea of the strict enforcement of the treaties, has been defeated.\n\nOn the morning of the 15th inst., about 6 o'clock, a fire broke out at No. 127, Queen's Road West, occupied by a second-hand clothes dealer. The outbreak centred on the ground floor, attributable, it is said, to the upsetting of the inevitable kerosine lamp, and the flames quickly spread to the upper stories. When the Brigade under Mr. H. Wodehouse and Deputy Superintendent Horspool arrived they found the whole place in a blaze. The fortunate circumstance that there was little or no breeze was somewhat discounted by the difficulty in getting water, as in the pre-treaty stipulations, which would preclude foreigners from residing outside the lists of the treaty ports and how difficulties in the way of travel in the interior.\n\nWith very praiseworthy briskness, however, the steam was got up on the engines and in a few minutes, some good streams of water from the half-an-hour's work sufficed to remove all danger as the coolies were playing on the flames. About the whole of No. 137 was destroyed and the adjoining houses suffered slight damage by fire and water. The contents of No. 137 were insured for $4,400 in the Hamburg and Bremen Fire Insurance Company, for which Messrs. Carlowitz & Co. are agents.\n\nTHE BOTANICAL AND AFFORESTATION REPORT.\n\nThe following report of the Superintendent of the Botanic Gardens, report on this department for the year 1893.\n\nHongkong, 7th May, 1894.\n\nSir,\n\nI have the honour to submit the annual report on this department for the year 1893.\n\nBOTANIC GARDENS.\n\nAfter the fire had been extinguished, the partition wall between No. 137 and No. 139 fell down, and six men and women, who had entered the basement to recover some of the damaged goods, were buried under the debris. The police at once set to work to rescue the unfortunate people and, strange to say, found that only one man was at all injured, and he not seriously. The others were almost unscathed. The injured man was removed to the Government Civil Hospital.\n\nAt the Magistracy on Thursday Mr. H. E. Wodehouse opened an enquiry into the circumstances of the fire at 137, Queen's Road West, which occurred on the 15th.\n\nMr. G. C. C. Master (of Messrs. Johnson, Stokes and Master) represented the fire insurance agents, Messrs. Carlowitz and Co.\n\nInspector Mackie is in charge of the case for the police.\n\nI am the wife of Wong A Pui, a dealer in fish at Chau Tai, Singapore. I reside in a house in Queen's Road West. I was at No. 137 on the morning of the 15th, sleeping in a room with my three children.\n\nA light which I saw through a hole in the floor of my room attracted my attention, and looking through it I saw a man with a piece of lighted paper in his hand standing over a heap of clothes on which he was pouring kerosine. A moment or two afterwards he applied the light to the clothes and they immediately blazed up.\n\nI shouted \"Burn everyone in the house!\" I got up about 2 o'clock. He made no reply and the other people in the house then ran out. I had been awake some time before I got up and had noticed a smell of kerosine. The hole through which I looked was about a foot long and an inch wide. I could see quite distinctly. I am not acquainted with the people on the ground floor.\n\nThe grounds, plant-houses, buildings, fences, walks and elections of plants have all been maintained in good order, and improvements have been effected in various directions.\n\nIMPROVEMENTS.\n\n1. An additional glass-roofed plant-house 50 feet long by 12 feet wide, situated in the nursery, has been completed. The woodwork has been chiefly made and fitted by our carpenter who is on the staff.\n\n2. Certain walks in the Botanical and Government House Gardens have been concreted. These additions now finish all that is needed in this kind of walk formation.\n\n3. Extensions have been made to rockeries where circumstances rendered these necessary.\n\nLAWNS.\n\nTowards the end of the summer the moths and caterpillars mentioned in paragraph No. 14 of my last report again appeared, but having learnt by past experience the habits of these pests their advent was anticipated, and on their first appearance remedies for their destruction were at once applied and maintained at regular intervals until the termination of their season of activity. By these means the lawns were preserved from injury.\n\nDr. A. Gunther, F.R.S., Keeper of the Department of Zoology, British Museum (Natural History), to whom I sent specimens of the larvæ, chrysalids, and moths for determination, has very kindly informed me that its name is Thialleta signifera (Walk.). The chief injury to the grass is caused by this species, but another one, which appears simultaneously with the Thialleta is also responsible for some damage.\n\nThis one Dr. Günther has also determined from specimens which I sent. It is Pharazia bicarnea (Wlk.).\n\n6. Children continue to run over places where grass should be, but which they have long ago worn away. As the attendants and police are unable to prevent this, it would be advisable to provide low iron fences on the margins of walks where children chiefly congregate, of sufficient height to prevent the children leaving the walks.\n\nMr. Pollok opened the case by reading the pleadings filed and the answer. From these it appeared that when Messrs. Russell and Co. failed the firm was indebted to the defendant for a sum of $10,000 and defendant was indebted to them for $50,000. Besides carrying on their ordinary business as merchants at Foochow, however, Messrs. Russell and Company were the agents for the plaintiff bank, and the plaintiff bank tried to induce the defendant to acknowledge that he was indebted to it for $50,000 instead of to Messrs. Russell and Co. The defendant, however, would not recognise this liability at all. Towards the end of 1891 the defendant was desirous of selling all his shares to Mr. Weeks, a broker at Foochow. Mr. Weeks asked for a transfer of the shares and expressed his willingness to pay any outstanding claims. The bank claimed a lien on the shares and refused to allow the transfer until the $50,000 alleged to be due was paid.\n\nMr. Francis on these pleadings asked for judgment for the full amount claimed. Even supposing all the facts alleged were admitted, he submitted that there was no equitable defence. The only defence really set up was that the bank refused to allow a transfer of the shares, but that was no ground of defence in this case, but only a possible case of action for damages.\n\nMr. Robinson then addressed the Court at great length, first stating that he had not anticipated that a legal point would have been raised until the whole of the case had been laid before the Court and the verdict of the jury obtained.\n\nWodehouse concluded the enquiry into the fire at No. 127, Queen's Road West.\n\nAt the Magistracy, on Saturday Mr. H. E. Wodehouse concluded the enquiry into the fire at No. 127, Queen's Road West. Mr. G. C. C. Master (of Messrs. Jobson, Stokes and Master) appeared for the insurance agents, Messrs. Carlowitz and Co. Mr. J. F. Reece represented the shopkeeper.\n\nP.C. McEwen said that when he forced his way into the shop on the alarm being given he found a quilt on the counter in flames, but the fire spread up the side of the wall and the whole place was eventually destroyed.\n\nThe premises were released.\n\nUltimately the case was adjourned until the next day.\n\nPittosporum tobira on the terrace below the fountain died during the year.

These facts and conditions are as follows: The Contagious Diseases Acts were repealed in this country in deference to a strong expression of public opinion. Whether that opinion was well or ill-founded, judicious or the reverse, it is unnecessary now to inquire. The fact remains that the Acts were repealed, and that similar laws in the Crown Colonies and India were subsequently repealed. \n\nIn 1894 the legislation in the Straits Settlements which provided for the registration of brothels was also repealed.

Your Petitioners submit that in order to effectually secure the object they have in view it is necessary directly to prohibit Chinese, other than servants, from occupying houses built in the Hill District, and further that, in imposing this limitation of residence, no hardship would be inflicted on the Chinese for hitherto they have shown no desire to occupy houses in that district and, as they are living here in their native climate, they do not suffer from the oppressive heat of the lower levels during the summer months as Europeans do. To show how pressing is the need amongst the European section of the community for securing dwellings at the Peak, your Petitioners may mention that the rent of houses there is on the average nearly treble that which was paid ten years ago and this notwithstanding the fact that the number of houses has very greatly increased in the interval.\n\n7. The extension of the principle of Ordinance 16 of 1888 for which your Petitioners ask is not very great and their request for this reservation is made solely out of regard for the welfare of those who belong to non-tropical countries and who are now compelled to live in this enervating climate for the best part of their lives. It was the European section of the community that opened up and developed the Hill District. They were impelled to do so by considerations of health alone for the locality is more expensive and less convenient to live in than the lower levels. The number of reasonably available sites for houses in the Peak District is limited. Already the large majority have been built upon and very few remain for additional houses. Your Petitioners desire that this small proportion of Hongkong shall be reserved as a place of abode for those who cannot dwell in equal well-being elsewhere upon the Island, and they submit it is for the advantage of a community as a whole that each section of it should live in the environment to which it is best adapted.\n\n8. In conclusion, your Petitioners submit that the future welfare of this Colony, the welfare, that is, of its inhabitants as a whole, and its consequent value to the Empire, depends to a very large extent on the well-being of the European section of the community whose health it is therefore essential to preserve, and that every year conditions render it more and more important that this section should be able to reside in a district where its members can live under the most favourable conditions possible and where the rising generation may spend their childhood amidst the healthiest obtainable surroundings.\n\nYour Petitioners therefore humbly pray that your Excellency may be pleased to consider favourably their request and to take prompt steps to preserve the Hill District as a residential quarter for the non-Chinese residents of the community.\n\nAnd your Petitioners will ever pray, etc.\n\nDated 22nd day of February, 1904.\n\nJ.

The deputies, on behalf of the Viceroy, declined to recede from the original conception, or entertain any suggestion from Mr. Rops as to a loan arrangement to provide funds for the construction of the line.

Two stands had been erected close to the respective statues, and before eleven o'clock these were filled with a very representative gathering. The day opened beautifully fine, the sun shining from a cloudless sky while an invigorating, cool breeze had the effect of tempering the atmosphere. Among the many who were present were the Hon. Mr. E. A. Hewett (Chairman of the Coronation Committee), the Hon. Mr. E. Osborne, Hon. Sir Paul Chater, C.M.G., Mr. H. N. Mody, Mr. J. R. M. Smith, Hon. Captain Badeley, Hon.

The Governor was expected about ten o'clock and before that hour all the troops had been placed in their positions, and were in readiness for the arrival of His Excellency. The greatest possible interest was manifested in the proceedings by the community, and crowds were pressing in every direction with the idea of obtaining a glimpse. Some were fortunate enough to have a view, but hundreds were unable to see at all. All the places of advantage were taken, and numbers of people witnessed the ceremony from the verandahs of the buildings opposite.\n\nThe troops included the massed bands, 100 men of the Royal Navy, 100 men of the Royal Marine Light Infantry, 90 files of the Royal Artillery, 40 files of the H.K.S.B. Royal Garrison Artillery, 70 files of the Royal Engineers, 90 files of The Buffs, 40 files of the 105th Mahratta Light Infantry and 40 files of the 13th Rajputs. There were also Colour parties of The Buffs, Mahrattas and Rajputs—all the units in Hongkong being thus represented. A company of the Buffs was formed round the Statue of Queen Victoria, where the 13th Rajputs surrounded on three sides the Statue of Queen Alexandra. Facing it, on the opposite side of the road, were the 105th Mahrattas, with the massed band behind. Another company of the Buffs was stationed at the side of the central figure of the Royal group, while on the other side, a good muster of the Hongkong Volunteer Corps were drawn up in line. Two companies of the R.G.A. were stationed at the entrance to the square at the Des Voeux Road end, while another body of the same regiment formed up on the Praya near the north end of Statue Square in readiness to fire the Royal Salute. A detachment of the Royal Engineers mounted guard around the Statue of the Princess of Wales. The \"tout ensemble\" formed a brilliant spectacular display, of which Hongkong may well be proud.

I would, however, once more draw attention to the need of adopting some method for the improvement of enunciation. If, at the outset, a few lessons in Phonetics could be supplied, the work of teachers and students would be simplified, and greater accuracy of pronunciation ensured.\n\nIn Division II, three students were examined, two of whom obtained a place in the first class, and one in the third class.\n\nIn Division III, five students were examined, of whom one takes a place in the first class, three in the second, and one in the third.\n\nIn Division IV, eleven students were examined, one of them, Mrs. Kan, being a Chinese, born and brought up in Java, who is surely a unique instance of an adult Chinese learning Chinese for the first time in England. In this Division, the very excellent number of seven students obtained a place in the first class, three in the second class, and one in the third class.\n\nThe method of marking recommended in my last year's Report has this year been adopted, a maximum of thirty per cent of the marks being given for work done during the year, as shown by the students' notebooks. Thirty per cent, maximum marks are given for the oral examination, and forty per cent for the written papers. The result is shown in the Pass List given on the next page.\n\nIn conclusion, I can only repeat what I said last year, that, remembering the fact that the students have only their evening hours for study, their progress can only be regarded as remarkable, reflecting every credit not only upon Acting Professor Drake, and his Assistant, Mr. Lan, but upon the students themselves, to whose ability and diligence the Pass List gives evidence.\n\nLONDON, June, 1914.\n\nW.

Wednesday, Feb. 19, 1919.\n\nMERCHANTS' BUSINESS-QUESTION OF TRADE MARKS.\n\nARNHOLD AND OTHERS. GOETZ AND ANOTHER.\n\nBefore Mr. Justice BRAY.\n\nIn this case Mr. D. M. Kerly, K.C., and Mr. Stuart Bevan were for the plaintiffs (instructed by Messrs. Coward, Hawksley, Son & Chance): the defendants were not represented.\n\nIt was an action for certain declarations against the defendants. Mr. KERLY said that the plaintiffs were Harry Edward Arnhold and Charles Herbert Arnhold and Arnhold Bros. & Co., Ltd., a company incorporated under the Companies Ordinances, 1911, at Shanghai, and the defendants were Ernst Goetz and Max Nies-Massen, of 75, Unter den Linden, Berlin, both of whom were alien enemies.\n\nThe plaintiffs applied for a declaration that the partnership formerly existing between and carried on by the plaintiffs and the defendants under articles of partnership dated Nov. 12, 1912, was dissolved by the war with Germany; a declaration that upon the true construction of the articles of partnership, and in view of the events that had happened, and particularly the dissolution of the partnership, the plaintiffs were on Sept. 12, 1917 (immediately before the execution of an agreement of that date made between the plaintiffs and the plaintiff company), absolutely entitled to the goodwill and trade marks of the business formerly carried on by the firm of Arnhold, Karberg & Co., and afterwards by the plaintiffs, Harry Edward Arnhold and Charles Herbert Arnhold; and a declaration that under and by virtue of the said agreement, dated Sept. 12, 1917, the goodwill and trade marks became and were in equity the property of the company and ought to be assigned by the plaintiffs, Harry Edward Arnhold and Charles Herbert Arnhold, to the plaintiff company.\n\nMr. Justice BRAY: You say these marks ought to be assigned by one plaintiff to another?\n\nMr. KERLY: Yes. The defendants may conceivably dispute that, and claim some interest in the goodwill and trade marks, which I shall ask your Lordship to negative.\n\nMr. Kerly said that there was an old firm that belonged to the father of Harry Edward Arnhold and Charles Herbert Arnhold, who became naturalised here and were born in this country. The firm had a large business in the East, in China, Hong Kong, and elsewhere, and the goodwill belonged to the father, who entered into partnership with his two sons, and on his death the goodwill belonged to the partnership. In November, 1912, there was an agreement of partnership by which the two defendants, Goetz and Nies-Massen, were taken into the partnership on the terms that the goodwill still belonged to the Arnholds.\n\nThe partnership was to continue for four years from Jan. 1, 1912, but by reason of the war, it was dissolved between the plaintiffs and the defendants.\n\nMr. Kerly said that the goodwill had been throughout the exclusive property of H. E. and C. H. Arnhold, the plaintiffs, and this at Aug. 4, 1914, included the whole of the trade marks of the business.\n\nAfter the outbreak of war, the plaintiffs carried on business under the style of H. E. Arnhold, and later of Arnhold Bros. & Co., Ltd., and carried on and used the goodwill, trade marks in question.\n\nBy an agreement of Sept. 12, 1917, H. E. and C. H. Arnhold assigned to Arnhold Bros. & Co., Ltd., the goodwill formerly carried on by H. E. and C. H. Arnhold, together with the trade marks.\n\nMr. Justice Bray: The partnership agreement of November 1912, would expire by effluxion of time in December, 1916.\n\nMr. Kerly: Yes, but it was dissolved by reason of the outbreak of the war.\n\nMr. Kerly said that after the war difficulties arose in the East, and the authorities in Hong Kong were not quite clear as to what the position was. They did not appreciate that the goodwill belonged to the two Arnholds, the partnership having been determined, and steps were taken in Hong Kong to treat the firm as an alien enemy firm, and proceedings were taken under local statutes with a view to winding the firm up. Arnhold soon satisfied the British authorities here that they were natural-born citizens and there had been no difficulty of any sort.\n\nPart of the property of the firm consisted of a series of trade marks which were of great value. Some of them were registered here, and they were also independently registered at Hong Kong.\n\nSince the dissolution, the two Arnholds had been solely entitled to the goodwill, which included the trade marks, and they had been informed, as the result of communications with the Colonial Office, that it was required that a declaration of the Court should be obtained to the effect that they were so entitled.\n\nThe plaintiffs were now before the Court. The writs had been served by the direction of the Court, and it was understood that there were letters had been received from the defendants to the effect that they preserved their rights, but did not intend to appear.\n\nThe plaintiffs asked that the defendants' rights were subject to those of the plaintiff company, Arnhold Bros. & Co., Ltd., to whom in September, 1917, the goodwill was assigned by the two Arnholds, was a company registered in Shanghai under the local law there.\n\nCHARLES HERBERT ARNHOLD, one of the plaintiffs, gave evidence that he was formerly a member of the firm of Arnhold, Karberg & Co., and he produced the partnership articles of November, 1912. This was signed by witness and his brother and the two defendants.\n\nThe witness further deposed to the agreement of September, 1917, with the plaintiff company, Arnhold Bros. & Co., Ltd., by which the goodwill was assigned.\n\nMr. Kerly submitted that the trade marks could not be separated from the goodwill. He had authority for that proposition.\n\nThe defendants (he added) were German subjects.\n\nMr. Justice BRAY granted the declarations asked for, but said he would make no order as to costs.\n\n24/2/19\n\nFor record\n\nB.AD?\n\n24/2/19 yes", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-458 - Public Offices & Others - 1919.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 482424, "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": "CO129-458 - Public Offices & Others - 1919", "page_number": 472, "title": "CO129-458 - Public Offices & Others - 1919", "content_text": "458\n\nThe Imp\n\nTELEPHONE NO.: 8971 8972 BANK, LIVERPOOL\n\n3681 AVENUE, LONDON\n\n1813 CARDIFF.\n\nOF TE PAITIAN MERCHANT SERVIGN.)\n\nSolicitors at\n\nMost Lending Seaports at\n\nHome and Abroad.\n\né Guild.\n\nOver 400 Agents\n\nAshore and Afloat.

There is only one European who earns a precarious living, and not enough work for another one. The most of the so-called Pilots are Chinese who charge the ridiculous sum of five dollars, but all they do is to show the Captain where to go. These men have 'references' which are, at the best, doubtful. An important Naval port like that ought to have Government Pilots on a fixed salary and pension. Japanese and other ships come in and go out as they please. This should not be allowed in Japan.\n\nSurely...\n\nSuppose we had trouble with Japan, which is not at all unlikely, they would get to know everything from the Chinese.\n\nThey have been known to say that they could take Hong Kong any time they liked, which is quite likely. A short time ago I wrote to Commander Brockrath, the Harbourmaster, asking him if a British Pilot was required, and if so, would he consider my application. I received a reply that there was no intention of employing any British Pilot at present.

By his totally unexpected death, his widow was left in somewhat poor circumstances, with a family of young children dependent upon her, and she was made an allowance, I understand, of £10 per month from the Hong Kong Government. So far as I am aware, there were no conditions imposed upon Mrs. Jones in respect of this allowance, and having regard especially to the greatly increased cost of living, its suspension has come at a time when she is ill able to stand the loss which it represents.\n\nI sincerely trust, therefore, that it will be possible for the Colonial Office to recommend to the Government of Hong Kong that this allowance should at least be continued for some...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-465 - Public Offices & Others - 1920.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 486160, "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": "CO129-465 - Public Offices & Others - 1920", "page_number": 514, "title": "CO129-465 - Public Offices & Others - 1920", "content_text": "## OFFICIAL\n\nThe Under Secretary of State,\nColonial Office.\n\nSir,\n\n20th May, 1920.\n\n**REC** \n**ED** \n21 MAY 1920 \n**COL OFFICE** \n513 \n\nI am obliged by your favour of the 19th instant (`23625/1920`) to hand to-day contents of which I have carefully noted.

T. H. Bunje for $4,800. The upset price was $2,226, or 6 cents a sq. ft. No fewer than fourteen lots of Crown land (including the four lots on which the old Post Office and Supreme Court stand) are advertised for sale by auction. Six of these are on Mount Davis.\n\nAnnouncement was made on Sept. 1st of the appointment of Mr. J. H. Taggart as Managing Director of the Hongkong Hotel Co., Ltd.; of Mr. H. N. Beaurepaire as Secretary; and Mr. E. W. Alderson as Sub-manager.\n\nThe King held an Investiture at Buckingham Palace on July 19th. Amongst those introduced into the presence of the Sovereign was Sir Charles Addis, who received a Knight Commandership of the Order of St. Michael and St. George.\n\nThe financial statement of the Colony for the month of May, published in the current Gazette, shows a revenue for the month of $1,484,925.43 and an expenditure of $963,561.46. The balance of assets over liabilities is given as $5,573,420.44.\n\nA very desirable public improvement is foreshadowed in the Government Gazette by a call for tenders for the construction of a reinforced concrete public pier, 160 feet 8 inches long by 41 feet 4 inches wide, and approach at Queen's Statue Square.\n\nFollowing the seizure by the police of a revolver and 48 rounds of ammunition, a European named Sydney Spalding, living at No. 6, Observatory Villas, was arrested by the police but was afterwards found to need hospital treatment. He is now in the Government Civil Hospital.\n\nMr. John J. Gorman, manager in the Far East of the Admiral Line, was a passenger by the s.s. Keystone State. Mr. Gorman is on a visit to the Company's agencies at Hongkong and Manila and will return to Seattle on the same steamer. Mr. Geo. A. Heyburn, assistant manager, will be in charge during the absence of Mr. Gorman.\n\nIt will interest old Hongkong residents to know that among those mentioned as possible successors of Mr. Crane as United States Minister to China was Dr. Stuart Thomson. A New Jersey paper says: \"Dr. Thomson was formerly manager at Hongkong, China, of the Pacific Mail and Toyo Kisen Kaisha Trans-Pacific Steamship Company's office, in which position he succeeded the Far East veteran, John Sheffield Van Buren, nephew of President Van Buren.”\n\nTHE HONGKONG WEEKLY PRESS &\n\nImprovements at Government House for which tenders are being invited include the erection, on the site of the existing stables and outbuildings, of a garage, laundry and custodian's quarters, and the forming of a new carriage drive involving alterations to the eastern entrance.\n\nTen robbers, armed with rifles and revolvers, broke into the Kwong Wo Yuen grocery shop, in Leungshanwan village, Saikung district, on the night of Aug.25th. They stole a large quantity of clothing, jewellery, money and provisions, and took away with them the proprietor, and his son, whom they are holding for ransom.\n\nTo mark the anniversary of the birthday of Her Majesty the Queen of the Netherlands, the Consul-General for the Netherlands held an \"at home\" at the Holland Club, on August 31st. H.E. the Governor and the Colonial Secretary were represented and the foreign consuls and a large number of the Colony's Dutch residents attended.\n\n189\n\n[September 3rd, 1921.] Many friends of the Rev. Charles Bone, who for seventeen years was the pastor of the Wesleyan Methodist Church at Wanchai, will regret to read the announcement of the death, in England, of Mrs. Bone, on August 26th. It is a little more than five years since they left the Colony. At present their three married daughters are all in England, on leave from Hongkong and from West Africa. The only surviving son is with Messrs. Butterfield & Swire in Shanghai, the younger son having been killed in the war. Much sympathy will be felt with the husband and family in the loss they have sustained.\n\nThe new Sharebrokers' Association formed by the \"outside brokers\" was inaugurated on September 1st, when there was a gathering of brokers and investors at the offices of the Association in Ice House Street to launch the Association in the customary way with Mr. A. H. Carroll, who has been one of the moving spirits in organising this Association, explained that the membership of the Hongkong Stockbrokers' Association was severely restricted and a desire had long existed among the outside brokers for the formation of another Association. The desire was now fulfilled, and he was glad to be able to announce that the new Association was supported by some of the largest investors and speculators in the Colony. The Association would meet at the same hour as the older body, so there would be no possibility of \"cribbing\" quotations. The Association intended in the near future to include in its list many stocks—especially Chinese Bank stocks—not at present quoted on the local exchange.\n\nRevised rates of postage on parcels posted in Hongkong to various parts of the world came into force on September 1st. A list occupying a couple of pages appears in the Government Gazette. The rates to the United Kingdom are not affected by the revision, but the list includes a number of British Colonies and possessions in Africa and America.\n\nA small railway platform is being built at Ho Mun Tin and we understand that, from the 16th inst., two trains in the morning—at 8.15 and 9.00—and two in the evening—from Kowloon at 5.27 and 7.09—will stop at this halt. Residents at Ho Mun Tin express themselves as highly gratified by this consideration on the part of the Railway Administration.\n\nA bathing party had a gruesome experience in Junk Bay a few days ago. While the bathers were in the water they observed a dead body rise to the surface. It was the truncated body of a European which bore indications of having been in the water many days. Evidently the man had been drowned while bathing, as the body was covered with a bathing dress. No report had been made to the police of any European being missing, and it is presumed that the body is that of a sailor from a vessel who may have been taking a lonely swim and lost his life unobserved by any one, and his disappearance from the ship may have been regarded perhaps at the time as desertion.\n\nThe newly-formed Society for the Protection of Mui Tsais held a meeting in the hall of the Tung Wah Hospital on August 27th under the chairmanship of the Hon. Mr. Lau Chu-pak. There was an attendance of about 200 interested Chinese gentlemen, the majority of whom were members. On the Chairman's suggestion, the membership fee was fixed at $2. It was decided that an annual subscription was unnecessary because whenever the Society needed money it could appeal to its members who would subscribe whatever amount was required. Office bearers were appointed as follows:—Patrons: Hon. Mr. Lau Chu-pak and Hon. Mr. Ho Fook: Chairman: Mr. Wing-kwong; Vice-Chairman: Mr. Kwok Shiu-lau: Hon. Treasurer: Mr. Simon Tse Yan and Hon. Secretary: Mr. Wong Kwong-tin. A Committee of thirty was appointed, including the committees of the Po Leung Kuk, Tung Wah Hospital, and the District Watchmen Committee.\n\nMUI TSAI IN HONGKONG. ANOTHER QUESTION IN THE COMMONS.\n\nIn the House of Commons, on July 6th, Lord H. Cavendish-Bentinck asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he could give the names of the Chinese ladies appointed to consider women and girls, especially the mui tsai, matters connected with the protection of in the Colony of Hongkong?\n\nMr. Wood: The information is not in my possession, but I will inquire of the Governor.\n\nTHE SANITARY BOARD.\n\nPREVALENCE OF RABIES.\n\nA meeting of the Sanitary Board was held on August 30th, Mr. G. R. Sayer presiding. There were also present: The Director of Public Works (the Hon. Mr. T. L. Perkins), Mr. C. G. Alabaster, Dr. Graca Ozorio, Mr. Chow Shou-sen, and the Secretary, (Mr. C. M. W. Reynolds).\n\nBeyond business of a routine character, the only item of interest was a discussion concerning the prevalence of rabies, in regard to which the procedure of notification of such cases or suspected cases was dealt with. It was mentioned that a dog recently, suspecting it of rabies, the owner shot his dog through the brain. This made it difficult for the bacteriologist, as it was necessary to an examination for suspected rabies that the brain should be left intact. Dogs suspected of suffering from rabies should be handed over to the Police and killed by shooting through the chest.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-475 - Governor Sir Stubbs & Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1922 [5-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 494000, "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": "CO129-478 - Public Offices & Others - 1922", "page_number": 392, "title": "CO129-478 - Public Offices & Others - 1922", "content_text": "MINUTES.\n\nMINUTES NOT TO BE WRITTEN ON THIS SIDE.\n\nThe Imperial Merchant\n\nTELEPHONE NOS. 1971 8972 BANK, LIVERPOOL\n\n2881 AVENUE, LONDON\n\n1813 CARDIFF.\n\n38 SOUTH SHIELDS.\n\n52 CORPORATION, HULL,\n\n4291 CENTRAL GLASGOW.\n\n(REPRESENTING THE CAPTAIN AND NAVIGATING OFFICER OF THE BRITISH MERCHANT NAVY)\n\nSolicitor at Mast Landing Seaports at Home and Abroad.\n\nService Guild.\n\n15341\n\nOver 400 Agents Ashore and Afloat.\n\nAgents at Landing and Shipping throughout The World.\n\nADDRESS TELEGRAMS:\n\nDOLPHIN, LIVERPOOL QUILDBOROUGH, LONDON DOLPHIN, CARDIFF DOLPHIN, SOUTH SHIELDS.

One of the principal shipping disasters was the loss of S.S. \"Loong Sang\", which vessel broke from her moorings, was driven across the harbour before the storm, and, after being in collision, sank with the loss of a number of lives in full view of the spectators ashore, who were powerless to render any aid. The \"Loong Sang\" had, we understand, been in dry-dock for examination with a view to being refitted and had, shortly before the typhoon, been taken out of dry-dock to an anchorage in the harbour. The engines, however, were completely dismantled and we understand that the rudder also had been unshipped.\n\nThe Management Committee of the Guild having considered the circumstances of this disaster feel justified in expressing great surprise that evidently no adequate arrangements whatever are made by the Harbour Authorities in Hong Kong for the saving of life in such cases. In the typhoon season in the China Seas, there is always imminent risk of the visitation of a typhoon and the Committee, therefore, are of opinion that during that...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-483 - Others & Individuals - 1923.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 497617, "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": "CO129-484 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1924 [1-7]", "page_number": 303, "title": "CO129-484 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1924 [1-7]", "content_text": "## MINUTES\n\npresent yourself for exam, of the m.as. whose to this Dept.\n\nFROM DATE \nYou Stubbs 207 8 May \n\nthe enclosed letter. \n3. of selected for te \n\nFOR CIRCULATION :---- \nMr. \nMfr. \naphs. you prepared shaved \nMr. \nto save Asst.

The Consul-General did not\n\ntake the offer very seriously and the proposal was dropped.\n\nThe incident is of interest as suggesting that Dr. Sun\n\nhad not created his military academy under Bolshevik\n\ninfluence). The defeat of the Yunnanese increased the\n\npopularity of the Russians very considerably and gave them a\n\nmuch eurer footing in the provincial administration,\n\nMoreover, their renunciation of their rights as Europeans in\n\nChina, their condemnation of the unequal treaties' and their\n\ntreatment of the Chinamen as equal were very flattering to\n\nChinese self-esteem and tended to increase the respect in\n\nwhich they were held by the Cantonese and to strengthen their\n\npolitical influence at Canton. This is reflected in the\n\nimposition of certain irregular tariffe at Canton even\n\nbefore the Hay disturbances. In flat disregard of all\n\nexisting treaties an illegal tax was imposed on oil and\n\nflour with the obvious intention of affirming China's\n\nindependence in the matter of tariffs and her rejection of the\n\nexisting 'unequal treaties'. The Shanghai riots were\n\nfollowed by a sympathetic strike in Canton. It was not a\n\nbig affair, the resources at the disposal of the strikers\n\nwere alender, and in all probability there would have been\n\nan early return to normal conditions but for the\n\nunfortunate incident at Shameen on the 23rd June, when some\n\nChinese troops in a big procession wantonly fired on the\n\nBritish Concession, killing a French subject. The fire was\n\nimmediately returned and numerous casualties were inflicted\n\namong the Chinese. The strike now took on a new lease of\n\nlife. Funds began to pour in from all quarters and in a\n\nshort time a powerful strike committee assumed partial control of the functions of the National Government of Canton.\n\nrl\n\ncade\n\nreas.\n\nVar", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-497 - Public Offices - 1926.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 516378, "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": "CO129-512-1 Political situation in China- and Canton 30-11-1928 - 23-5-1929", "page_number": 128, "title": "CO129-512-1 Political situation in China- and Canton 30-11-1928 - 23-5-1929", "content_text": "# THE HONG KONG WEEKLY PRESS & \n\n## Shareholders' Meeting\n\nThe disappointing year just passed. We share with you the hope that during the present year there will be such a revival of trade as will justify the continuance of the same level of return to Shareholders as is now recommended, and that the warning you give that without that revival, the high level of past years may not be possible will be found to have been unnecessary.\n\n## Customs\n\nReference is made to the Chinese Maritime Customs returns of last year at over 82 million Haikwan Taels, being a rise of 13 millions over the previous year. Although constituting record and remarkable figures, these should not be exaggerated for the reasons you have given; furthermore, unless and until there is clear evidence that merchandise is moving into the interior markets of China it cannot be confidently asserted that a period of prosperity is immediately at hand, but, given a fair measure of political stability in China throughout the year, with continued industrial peace at Home and in Europe generally, and the faithful carrying out of the new Customs tariff without the imposition of any further vexatious taxes on Imports, the coming year should show a considerable improvement on past years, and bring a much needed relief to both Chinese and foreign merchant firms.\n\nOne of the most gratifying features of the speech is the pronouncement that the anti-British agitation of two or three years ago has practically vanished, and that a new spirit of friendliness is now making itself felt. I am inclined to say rather that the old spirit of friendliness is becoming more apparent. Whichever it be, we are in entire agreement that we are much indebted to H.M. Representative in Peking, and, as regards Canton and South China, to H.E. the Governor of Hong Kong. We congratulate the Directors and Chief Manager on the opening of the Kowloon Sub-Agency, which, I am sure, will be of service to the ever-increasing population on the mainland. For my own part, I am sufficiently optimistic of the future of Kowloon to predict that before many years, it will be necessary to have our own premises.\n\nI am sure this meeting will confirm the action of the Directors in voting the bonus of 10 per cent. on the salaries to the staff. If the Bank's staff in all its branches are as hard worked as they are at Head Office, they well deserve this recognition of good service.\n\nI cannot do better than conclude my remarks by quoting from the address of the Rt. Hon. Mr. Reginald McKenna at the recent general meeting of the Midland Bank in London. His remarks, I think you will agree, are peculiarly appropriate to conditions obtaining in China at the present time: \"Ten years have passed since the conclusion of the most recent and, we devoutly hope, the last, great war in the world's history. They have constituted a decade of grave difficulties involving problems of exceptional magnitude and complexity. Disappointments have been frequent and many setbacks have been suffered. Peace between nations and within nations is a primary condition to our welfare, and whatever the temporary state of trade, however slow we are in solving the financial and industrial problems which confront us, we shall look forward with unshakable confidence to the time when the better relationships now established shall become the foundation of general and permanent well-being.\" Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen, I have very much pleasure in seconding the adoption of the report and statement of accounts.\n\nThe motion was carried.\n\n## OTHER BUSINESS\n\nMr. H. R. B. Hancock proposed that the appointments of Messrs. A. Plummer, B. D. F. Beith, and B. Lander Lewis be confirmed and that Messrs. H. P. White, T. G. Weall, and W. H. Bell be re-elected Directors. Mr. K. S. Morison seconded, and the motion was carried.\n\nMr. J. H. Taggart proposed that Mr. C. Bernard Brown and Mr. John Fleming be re-elected Auditors. Mr. E. L. Sim seconded, and the motion was carried.\n\nThis was all the business, and the Chairman announced that dividend warrants would be ready on Monday.\n\n## EXTRAORDINARY MEETING\n\nSubsequently, an extraordinary general meeting was held, at which the resolution passed at the meeting of February 2nd was confirmed.\n\nThe Chairman proposed the confirmation of the resolution, which was seconded by Mr. T. E. Pearce and unanimously agreed to.\n\n## THOSE PRESENT\n\nThose present were Mr. A. H. Compton (Chairman), Messrs. N. S. Brown (Deputy Chairman), B. D. F. Beith, W. H. Bell, B. Lander Lewis, C. G.

This is a very important step in the history of the Club, and I feel that the Club's future is an assured success.\n\nIt will be remembered that in September last, a small \"Working Committee\" was formed to carry out the preliminary organisation. The Committee now desire to complete that organisation and bring the Club to active existence. To do this, it is necessary to communicate with people who are interested, so I would request all those who would like to join the Club or support the movement, although they may not wish to fly themselves, to write to me as soon as possible. In particular, I wish to hear from the Chinese residents in the Colony, and it would greatly assist me and the Committee if one or two Chinese gentlemen would come forward with an offer to assist in the preliminary organisation. Letters expressing interest or a desire to join the Club will not commit the writer; they will only cause this name to be placed on the Club register, so that the organisers can circularise the right people.\n\nIt is expected that a meeting will be held in March, when the final Rules and Regulations can be discussed, and a Committee selected. I would therefore request that replies be forwarded as soon as possible.\n\nI take this opportunity of explaining that Members who join the Club to learn to fly would be taught by a fully qualified Instructor, and that \"Associate Members,\" that is, those who do not actually wish to learn to fly, but wish to support the Club, will be able to obtain flights at a small cost.\n\nSir Robert Ho Tung has requested me to enter his name for the \"Associate Member\" Club, and I think that many well-known residents will follow his excellent example in the course of the next few days.\n\nIf there is any lady or gentleman who would like to support the Club with the gift of an aeroplane, I shall be pleased to discuss this with them. In making this suggestion, it is perhaps necessary to explain that the type of Light Machine required is not expensive, and that many public-spirited people have presented aeroplanes to Clubs in other parts of the Empire. Perhaps there are one or two who would join together and present one.\n\n—Yours, etc.,\n\nR.

On Saturday a luncheon was given at the Kam Ling Restaurant, West Point, in honour of H.R.H. the Duke of Gloucester, and the affair was carried out with great success. About 180 gentlemen were present, including over 30 guests. The approach to the restaurant was most elaborately decorated in the Chinese manner, and the dining-room was a mass of beautiful flowers. Festoons added to the brightness of the room.\n\nFlags were used in the decoration. A large crowd had gathered in the streets to witness the arrival of the Royal party at about 12:30. The Duke, who was accompanied by H.E. the Governor, was received by Sir Shou-son Chow, Sir Robert Ho Tung, Dr. Tso, and other prominent members of the Chinese community. A number of Chinese gentlemen had the honour of being introduced to His Royal Highness, who shook hands with them and exchanged a few words of greeting. Lunch was then served immediately, and included the usual choice dishes offered on such occasions—birds' nest soup, turtle, shark fins, etc. There were no speeches, but the toast of \"The King\" was duly honoured. The Duke and party left at about 1:45, His Royal Highness thanking his Chinese friends for their hospitality.\n\nOther guests at the luncheon included members of the Prince's suite, the Governor's staff, Capt. Arbuthnot, of H.M.S. **Suffolk**, members of the Executive and Legislative Councils, and representatives of the leading business houses.\n\nThe following were among those present:\n| Name | Company/Organization |\n| --- | --- |\n| F.

One likes to think of sunshine and blue clouds for such occasions—but it may well be that Prince Henry may be remembered as \"the King's son who brought the rain in time of famine.\"\n\nThe day's events were luncheon at West Point as the guest of the Chinese community; participation in four races at the Jockey Club's fourth extra meeting, Happy Valley, and then the ceremonious leave taking. His Royal Highness, though he did not win any of the events at Happy Valley, proved again that he is a very fine horseman, and few indeed have done so well at their first attempt on the course with a China pony. A full account of the races appears elsewhere.\n\n### DEPARTING FORMALITIES\n\n#### SCENE AT QUEEN'S PIER\n\nPractically the same formalities, only in different order, were observed at His Royal Highness's departure as at his arrival. Accompanied by His Excellency the Governor, the Royal visitor, who wore the tropical uniform of the 10th Hussars, arrived by car followed by three cars containing other members of the staff. They were preceded as usual by members of the police flying squad.\n\nIn front of the pier the guard of honour was provided by 3/15 Punjabis Regiment, the band and pipe and drum band of the battalion also being present.\n\nOn the pier, as at the landing, were the members of the Legislative Council, a number of Senior Naval, Military, and Air Force Officers, including Vice-Admiral A. K. Waistell and Major-General Sandilands, and prominent members of the Chinese community.\n\nAfter the National Anthem had been played and the Royal Salute given, Prince Henry and His Excellency inspected the Guard.\n\nPage 66\n\nF.

I must assume, as decided by the Court of Hong Kong, that to constitute piracy jure gentium, an actual robbery is an essential ingredient.

PROSPECTUS shareholders\n\nLORD KYLSANT FOUND GUILTY\n\nSENTENCE OF 12 MONTHS' IMPRISONMENT\n\nMR. MORLAND ACQUITTED\n\nThe trial of Lord Kylsant and Mr. Harold John Morland on charges relating to the affairs of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company was concluded at the Central Criminal Court yesterday, before Mr. Justice Wright.\n\nBoth defendants were found Not Guilty on the counts which charged them with making and publishing false annual reports of the company for some period of time, and Mr. Morland was discharged. Lord Kylsant was found Guilty on the charge of making, publishing, and circulating a false prospectus, and he was sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment in the second division.\n\nThe charge against Lord Kylsant was that, being a director of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, he made, circulated, or published, or concurred in making, circulating, or publishing, annual reports of the directors of the company for the years 1926 and 1927, and dated May 11, 1927, and May 9, 1928, which he knew to be false in a material particular, with intent to deceive the shareholders of the company.\n\nMr. Morland was charged with aiding and abetting Lord Kylsant in the commission of these offences.\n\nLord Kylsant was also charged with making, circulating, or publishing, or concurring in making, circulating, or publishing, a prospectus which he knew to be false in a material particular, with intent to induce persons to entrust or advance property to the company.\n\nThe Attorney-General (Sir William Jowitt, K.C.), Mr. D. N. Pritt, K.C., Mr. Eustace Fulton, and Mr. Patrick Devlin appeared for the prosecution. Sir John Simon, K.C., Mr. J. E. Singleton, K.C., and Mr. Wilfrid Lewis defended Lord Kylsant; Sir Patrick Hastings, K.C., Mr. Stuart Bevan, K.C., Mr. C. J. Conway, K.C., and Mr. F. J. Tucker defended Mr. Morland. Mr. Henry O'Hagan and Mr. Elder Jones held watching briefs on behalf of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company.\n\nBoth the defendants pleaded \"Not Guilty.\"\n\nJUDGE'S SUMMING-UP\n\nTHE LAW AND SECRET RESERVES\n\nMR. JUSTICE WRIGHT, in summing-up, said that the case was important because it involved the ventilation in the City of London and in that Court of many questions connected with the finance and accounts of companies, a matter of the very highest public importance.\n\nThe law required the appointment of an auditor, who was the servant of the company. His duty was to report to the shareholders on the accounts which the directors were going to present to them.\n\nIf the accounts from which dividends were being met were being fed from undisclosed reserves, it seemed very difficult to see how an auditor could discharge his duty without drawing attention to that fact.\n\nWas it not a matter of the most vital importance? No doubt an auditor must use a certain amount of discretion, but he must report and give a certificate whether, in his opinion, the balance-sheet referred to in the report was properly drawn up so as to exhibit a true and correct view of the state of the company's affairs according to the information given to the auditor.\n\nMr. Morland might have taken an imperfect or an inadequate view of the duties which rested on auditors.\n\nDUTIES OF AUDITOR\n\nThe law did not impose any impossible burden on an auditor, but he had to report and give a certificate whether, in his opinion, the balance-sheet referred to in the report was properly drawn up so as to exhibit a true and correct view of the state of the company's affairs according to the state of the information given to the auditor.\n\nIf the account from which dividends were being met was being fed from undisclosed reserves, it seemed very difficult to see how an auditor could discharge his duty without drawing attention to that fact.\n\nTHE PROSPECTUS\n\nTurning to the charge against Lord Kylsant in connexion with the prospectus, his Lordship said that the prospectus stated that, although the company, in common with other companies, had suffered from depression, the audited accounts of the company showed that during the previous 10 years the average annual available balance had been always sufficient to pay the interest on the Debenture stock.\n\nIt was perfectly true that the balance-sheets soon showed those average annual balances, that one would arrive at the average annual balance stated.\n\nBut it was said that there was such an economy of truth in the statement as to deceive anyone who knew nothing about the company's affairs and was likely to be deceived to his loss, and therefore to defraud.\n\nFALSITY BY OMISSION\n\nDealing with the charge as set out in the indictment and the offence defined in the Larceny Act, 1861, his Lordship said that a document might be false, not because of what it stated, but because of what it did not state.\n\nThe latter type of falsity was more difficult to establish than where one could point to specific false word or sentence, because, where the falsity consisted of the creation of a false impression while keeping accurately to the facts which appeared in the document in question, one had got to show affirmatively that there had been a deliberate intent to create a false impression.\n\nCOMPOSITION OF 1926 SURPLUS\n\nHis Lordship then reviewed the special debits which had been brought in in the years 1921 onwards.\n\nIn 1926 the surplus on the whole position was £628,535. That surplus was obtained by bringing in from excess profits reserve £550,000, from income-tax reserve £175,000, profit on the sale of H. and W. Nelson, Limited, and £150,000 from the general reserve.\n\nSIMPLE FAITH OF SHAREHOLDERS\n\nFor seven years balance sheets and profit and loss accounts were issued which did not disclose whether the company was earning any profit or not.\n\nDuring those seven years there was expended out of the unpublished items, which were mainly connected with the shipowning business, sums which amounted to some millions of pounds.\n\nTHE VERDICT\n\nThe jury retired at 3.32.\n\nAt 5.20 his Lordship returned to the Court and said that he had received a letter from the jury which he had thought it best to read in open Court.\n\nThe jury had to decide whether or not that was a false document.\n\nAddressing the jury, his Lordship said: \"The question you ask is according to the words in the indictment, 'with intent to deceive the shareholders'; you ask whether the intent must be fraudulent.\"\n\nAfter an absence of three hours the jury found both the defendants Not Guilty on the first two counts, and Lord Kylsant Guilty on the third count relating to the prospectus.\n\nHis Lordship immediately discharged Mr. Morland.\n\nSENTENCE ON LORD KYLSANT\n\nAfter asking Lord Kylsant if he had anything to say, MR. JUSTICE WRIGHT, addressing him, said: \"Lord Kylsant, the jury have found you Guilty on the third count of this indictment.\"\n\nThe sentence of the Court is that you be kept in prison in the second division for 12 months.\"\n\nSIR JOHN SIMON asked for bail in view of an appeal.\n\nAn application is to be made in the High Court to-day for leave to appeal.\n\nPage 18\n\n...\n\nPage 363\n\n \nD.

A. AYLMER.\n\nThe eyrie was first discovered on January the 23rd and even at this early date the nest contained two eggs and the female bird had commenced to sit. These birds must be our earliest breeders in the colony. Prior to finding the nest, the male bird had been seen soaring overhead before disappearing over the hill tops as we approached nearer to the nest. The white head, neck and underparts of the sitting bird could be seen at some distance off and the bird remained sitting on the nest until we were comparatively close.\n\nThe eyrie was placed on a precipitous ledge of granite rocks, the ledge was broad and in a well-sheltered position. It consisted of a huge structure of branches and twigs chiefly from pine trees and neighbouring shrubs. The lining consisted of a plentiful display of pine needles, pampas grasses, smaller dried twigs, fern fronds and dried grasses. The top of the nest was a very slightly cup-shaped depression. It had the appearance of being an ancient eyrie, refurbished each year until it had assumed vast proportions, being fully twelve feet deep and over six feet in width.\n\nIt is well known that a pair of eagles, if left undisturbed, will return year after year to the same nest.\n\nOwing to its size and the wing span, the bird can only alight on a broad ledge, this would also account for the breadth of the nest. Branches of living shrubs were noticed growing out of the side of the nest, which supports the supposition that it is of considerable age. There was a sprinkling of white down from the birds' breasts about the nest. This year's building could be easily seen as a top layer some six inches in depth. Two cuttle-fish shells were seen lying on the side of the nest and a piece of rope was also noticed.\n\nThe two eggs were partially covered by fresh green leaves of the Rhodomyrtus, as if the eggs had been purposely concealed before the birds left the nest. Or is this another example of what Mr. Anthony Buxton believes of the Honey Buzzard, namely, that these birds like fresh green leaves about them, just as we like fresh flowers.\n\nTo quote from Mr. Anthony Buxton, in his letter on some of the birds which nest at Geneva, given to the Norfolk and Norwich Bird Protection Society at Stuart Hall, Norwich. In this lecture, Mr. Buxton described a peculiar ceremony which occurred at the nest of the Honey Buzzard every evening, viz:-\n\nA ceremony in which the cock took no part. After the last feed given by the hen bird, she would appear again about the nest and start tearing off a sprig of fresh green leaves which she brought to the nest and presented to the baby. Mother and child played happily with it and ran the\n\nThe Hong Kong Naturalist.\n\nPlate 15.\n\nNest of White-bellied Sea Eagle, Haliaetus leucogaster.\n\nPrinted by S.C.M.

We repeat our recommendation that their participation in our plans should be welcomed, and we hope that steps will be taken, when suitable opportunity occurs, to invite their co-operation.\n\nWe are satisfied that if our recommendations are carried out, the Universities' China Committee will be making provision, in as ample a manner as circumstances permit, for the carrying out of all the purposes for which the sum of £200,000 was entrusted to it under the Act of Parliament of 1931, and will be making a valuable contribution towards the promotion of intellectual co-operation and improved cultural relations between Great Britain and China.\n\nFinally, we should like to emphasise the fact that in making definite recommendations regarding the allocation of funds, we have done so only in order that we may make our proposals as clear and concrete as possible; and we hope that by so doing we shall have facilitated the work of the Committee.\n\nV.\n\nCONCLUSION.\n\nThe members of the delegation are deeply indebted to so many of their Chinese and foreign friends in China for the sympathetic interest taken in their work, for valuable help and advice, and for much generous hospitality, that it is hardly possible to give the names of all those to whom thanks are due.

The Ladies Welfare Committee gave Mrs. Raymond money to buy bedding and certain necessities, but after that the Jewish Hostel supported itself on the ordinary billeting grant allowed to Refugees.\n\nTransport.\n\nThe Hong Kong Tramways Co. through Mr. L. C. F. Bellamy very kindly gave free passes on the trams to refugees and one day put a tram at their disposal to take them round the city to see the sights. Messrs. Wallace Harper & Co. were extremely kind in placing a car and a chauffeur at the disposal of the Centre. Many private individuals lent their cars and took parties of children to the beaches, and a car bureau was run by Mrs. Frederick and Mrs. Dyer assisted by Mrs. Tinson.\n\nEntertainment.\n\nThe Petty Officers and Men of H.M.S. Osiris, H.M.S. Orpheus and H.M.S. Proteus were extremely kind in getting up dances and entertainments for the refugees. H.M.S. Rover also organized a dance and most generously raised $252 in aid of the refugees. The Filmo Studio kindly gave short shows for the children every afternoon for a week. The Lady Cake Shop kindly donated 200 small cakes. Mr. Stafford-Smith generously came forward with a gift of 3,000 cigarettes. \"Lizzie\" from Tester's Beauty Parlour kindly spent a Sunday cutting the children's hair.\n\nClosing of Jockey Club Centre.\n\nThe refugees were moved over to the Laichikok Centre on 9th and 10th September and the Jockey Club Centre was closed down.\n\nCentral British School Refugee Centre.\n\nThis Centre was opened on 22nd August for 350 refugees, though the maximum at any one time never exceeded 150. The great majority were British women and children. Mrs. D. M. Richards was asked by Mrs. North to take charge of the Welfare work, with a Matron and a Nursing Sister to assist. Of many other voluntary helpers the following were outstanding:- Mrs. Crozier, Miss Curtin, Mrs. Cooper, Mrs. Ingram, Mrs. Clarke, Mrs. Cole, Mrs. Tong. The various activities, linen, stores, meals, diets, help with children, etc., were divided into two shifts, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. to 7.30 p.m. The Kowloon residents gave generous assistance in the way of clothing, toys, books, wireless sets, etc., and many picnics were arranged. The catering was supervised by Mrs. Fletcher and Mrs. Cooper (Domestic Science mistress at the School). Klim was provided daily, also fresh fruit to all children under 15. The Kowloon Boy Scouts and Girl Guides as well as the senior pupils of the School were very helpful, as also were the local members of Toc H.\n\nOn 20th September, as the School was needed by the Education Department this Centre was moved to the premises formerly used as a British School but now vacated, and continued on the same lines until it closed down on 15th January.\n\nLaichikok Refugee Centre.\n\nAs stated above the refugees from the Jockey Club Centre moved to Laichikok on 9th and 10th September. As this was more inaccessible it was decided that the\n\n25\n\nWelfare Bureau should be run by members of the Committee helped by Mrs. Maughan, Mrs. Grigor, Mrs. Prior, Mrs. Calthrop and Mrs. Norman. Mrs. Colter of Shanghai was engaged to be at the Bureau from 10 a.m. to 12.30 p.m. (Sundays excepted) at a salary of $50.00 a month and transport. When she returned to Shanghai her place was taken on the same terms by Miss Walker, a refugee from the Central British School Centre. Miss Walker returned to Shanghai on 10th December and it was decided that her place need not be filled as all refugees were shortly expected to return.\n\nA large amount of clothing was received from the foreign community in Foochow, which was greatly appreciated as stocks were running low and colder weather approaching. As time went on this became a pressing problem. Broadcast appeals brought in some warm things but not enough, and scarcely anything for the boys and girls. It was therefore decided to buy what was still necessary. A total sum of $566.78 was spent in providing inexpensive knitting wool, jerseys and cardigans, shorts and skirts and thick overcoats for the journey to Shanghai. Messrs. Whiteway, Laidlaw & Co. supplied these coats at half price, a generous offer for which the Committee was very grateful.\n\nThe maximum number of refugees accommodated at this Centre was 477.\n\nEducation,\n\nWith the long stay of the refugees in the Colony the education of the children became a problem. Mr. Pardoe with the assistance of some Shanghai teachers had opened a school in Kowloon Union Church for Refugee children, and on being approached he agreed to include the children at Laichikok. It was decided that a school under Miss Aliston should be opened in Laichikok for children up to 8 years of age, and that the rest should travel into Kowloon daily. Mr. Pardoe found it was impossible to accommodate all the children in the Union Church Hall and was fortunate in securing from Government the use of the old Kowloon Magistracy, which proved a very suitable building for a school. Part of the bottom floor of Block 6 at Laichikok was turned into a school room. The Committee bought stools and had tables made and got the very simple equipment for which Miss Aliston asked. The school proved most successful, and continued to run till these teachers returned to Shanghai. After a short time the schools were reopened under Mrs. Lambert, who got a staff of teachers together, and the schools continued to run until 17th December when they closed down. Mrs. Mitchell taught the kindergarten at Laichikok.\n\nA physical drill class for boys and girls was most efficiently run by Mr. Powis, who kindly came out every day, and a very enjoyable display was given by his class at the Benefit Dance for the children of the late Mrs. Stuart Xavier.\n\nH.M.S. Parthian very kindly arranged a dance on 9th October to which many of the refugees were asked and the $375 raised was most generously given to the Ladies Welfare Committee to buy rattan tables and chairs to furnish a Recreation Room, and chairs for the dormitories.\n\nA Benefit Dance for the seven children of the late Mrs. Stuart Xavier was held on 10th November. Kay Lee, the Army Contractor who was caterer at Laichikok and Central British School Centres, generously provided the refreshments and the China Fleet Club lent the hall. $497.13 was realized and this was sent to Mr. Haines of Shanghai to be used for the education of the Xavier children.\n\nThe Laichikok Welfare Bureau closed on 23rd December as it was understood that the refugees would be leaving during the Christmas holidays.\n\nRelief Funds.\n\nA list of persons without means at the Jockey Club Centre was obtained from Mr. Carrie on 31st August. Mrs. Dicken, Mrs. Gerrard and Mrs. Wolf assisted by\n\n74", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-570-1 Sino-Japanese War- arrangements for refugees from Shanghai 2-2-1938 - 2-11-1938.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 563249, "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": "CO129-574-13 British capital for China- Prime Minister's statement 5-11-1938 - 5-11-1938", "page_number": 9, "title": "CO129-574-13 British capital for China- Prime Minister's statement 5-11-1938 - 5-11-1938", "content_text": "## HIS MAJESTY'S GOVERNMENT—*conid.* \n\n### War Office— \n**Secretary of State** Rt.

In the result, the methods adopted were those I have already described, and I have expressed my opinion on that.\n\nIn considering the character of these additions, as well as in considering the question of the selection of the units, we should remind ourselves once again that, in October, 1941, there were no hostilities in the Pacific and the best informed opinion available to the Canadian authorities was that hostilities would not arise in the near future. The telegram of the 26th of October stating that the consensus of opinion that war in the Far East was unlikely at present has already been quoted textually. The evidence of General Crerar and General Stuart, already quoted textually, was to the effect that the information at their disposal in September justified the belief that there would be sufficient time after the arrival at Hong Kong to carry out the necessary training to bring the recruits who had not gone through their full period up to the required level of training in weapons, as well as otherwise. In truth, the evidence as a whole, and especially the evidence of General McNaughton, General Crerar and General Stuart satisfies me that opportunity for this training was available and General Crerar's conclusion is justified that on the 8th of December the expeditionary force was in fact fit to meet an attacking force in superior numbers. Nor in this connection can we properly overlook General Grasett's confident assurance, conveyed to General Crerar, that with two additional battalions the Hong Kong garrison could withstand any attack the Japanese could bring to bear against it for an extended period. Nor can we overlook the telegram of October 30th, which as already observed, seemed implicitly to suggest that the advent of Canadian reinforcements would assist in maintaining peace. General Crerar's view is that there were grounds for thinking that the arrival of the Canadian force in Hong Kong might influence the situation in the Far East in favour of the maintaining of peace.\n\nOne further matter relating to the training of the expedition should be mentioned. The expedition sailed from Vancouver on October 27th and reached Hong Kong on November 16th; hostilities with Japan did not break out until December 8th. There was thus a total of six weeks in which training of the expedition as a whole could go forward — approximately three weeks on the ship and three weeks in Hong Kong. Brigadier J. K. Lawson, Colonel Home and Colonel Sutcliffe were all officers who had great experience and placed great stress upon training. It is inconceivable that they would not have made full use of this interval of six weeks to repair any deficiencies in training.\n\nThere is considerable evidence to suggest that training was in fact vigorously carried on between October 27 and December 8. Before leaving Ottawa, Brigadier Lawson asked for information about weapons in which the two battalions were not practised so that he could make arrangements for training in those weapons on shipboard.\n\nIn his report written shortly before arrival in Hong Kong Brigadier Lawson reports as follows:-\n\nTraining has been carried out regularly since October 30. Emphasis has been laid on physical training, weapon training, P.A.G. (protection against gas) and such specialist training as could be carried out. Special classes have been organized for officers and N.C.O's. including a special P.T. class for the more senior officers. A series of lectures for officers and warrant officers was commenced after leaving our first port of call, dealing with conditions likely to be met in the Far East, races and religion, military geography, health in the tropics, characteristics of Indian Army troops likely to be met and the Japanese Army.\n\nLectures were also given to all troops on sanitation and hygiene in the tropics and on security.\n\nThis report is confirmed by an extract from a letter written by one of the junior officers on November 9, in which is described the activities on board ship.\n\n47\n\nThis officer stated he was up at 6:30 a.m. and attended the officers' lecture from 7:15 to 8:15 a.m.; parades took place between 9:00 and 11:30 a.m., and between 2:00 and 4:30 p.m.; he delivered two lectures each day; at 4:45 p.m. attended an officers' P.T. class for half an hour, and spent the evening in study and at a lecture at 10:00 p.m.\n\nWeekly reports sent by cable from Hong Kong indicate that training continued vigorously after the arrival of the expedition. These messages report specifically that weapon training was carried on and that operational exercises were undertaken.\n\n154", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-590-25 Accounts of events leading up to surrender and subsequent treatment of prisoners- etc 23-4-1942 - 28-9-1943.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 576359, "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": "CO129-590-4 Hong Kong and Shanhai Bank- temporary transfer of registered offices 4-2-1941 - 8-1-1942", "page_number": 37, "title": "CO129-590-4 Hong Kong and Shanhai Bank- temporary transfer of registered offices 4-2-1941 - 8-1-1942", "content_text": "54065/41\n\nHong Kong.\n\n(*5876-150) Wt. 14813-85 5,000 6/40 T.S. 695\n\nC.
