The prohibition can hardly have reached him earlier than March. He sends these Convicts in July.\n\nI think the answer might be to express Sir John Pakington's surprise that, without any explanation, he should merely state, with reference to instructions which prohibited him from sending Convicts to Labuan, that he had sent a Party of Convicts to that destination and that he should be strictly enjoined not to send any more.\n\nHe presumes to send Convicts to Labuan, and should be required to give an explanation of the reasons why he had sent out the party in question contrary to instructions.\n\n222\n\nBut I find that by an oversight I had read this despatch wrong, and that the Governor of Hong Kong has not sent the Convicts to Labuan but to the East India Company's settlements in the Straits of Malacca, which is quite right.

As the Governor, I proposed that it should be taken on lease in perpetuity from the Chinese Government, which Mr. C. Pakington informed me he thought might be effected at a nominal rate and without much difficulty, owing to the favourable feeling at present existing towards the British Authorities, but to this His Excellency the Governor would not assent, considering that his object, complete jurisdiction, would not be met by a leasehold from the Chinese Government.\" It remains for me to view how it could best be done by myself,\n\nAuthority on the 2nd\n\nas the\n\nMilitary\n\nEncamp.\n\nif here temporary occupation as an encampment for Troops, would not, I apprehend, meet Your Excellency's views and would very probably involve us in difficulties with the people, inasmuch as an Encampment there would induce many of the European residents of Hong Kong and parties from the ships in harbour to cross over for picnics or amusements, some of whom might, as is too often the case with our countrymen,\n\nCause annoyance & injury, to the Chinese inhabitants and over whom, the Officer Commanding a Military detachment would have to control.\n\nNext, Should Military possession be taken of the Peninsula, a notification, I presume, be issued from either Your Excellency as British Minister, or myself as Military Commander, stating under what authority and jurisdiction it is to be placed - Martial Law being the only one under which the Military could undertake it. Therefore, the question arises, without being a state of War, Could the same be declared? Take for instance the case of an American or even Englishman committing a murder or injuring Chinaman, or in any way contravening the Military Rules established, Could that man be punished by the Military? would the Law allow us to exercise such a right having declared Martial Law on insufficient or doubtful ground? Again, will not our occupation be the cause of innumerable speculators from Hongkong rushing in, if only to have a sight and claim compensation from the British Government should it be ceded?\n\nHaving laid the above before Your Excellency, I beg to subjoin Copy CB\n\nof a letter I have addressed to Mr. C.

Cropper's letter, which is likely to be repeated, Lord Derby would be glad to be furnished with an answer to the last sentence of the 3rd paragraph.\n\n### Minute\n\nAs a matter of fact, there is a printed correspondence between Lord Granville and M. Waddington (I think) very distinctly stating that we recognised the state of hostilities, although we would not make Proclamations of Neutrality, but would enforce the Foreign Enlistment Act which was only in force in times of hostilities (or words to that effect, and this must surely be the section referred to in W. Branston's minute on `20583`).\n\n### Marginalia\n\nYes, we must throw upon F.O. the responsibility of the position they have taken up. Previous to the Blockade of Formosa, the friction of expense being borne by someone was possible - Now we recognise the blockade as an act of belligerents, but to avoid complications, do not issue a Proclamation of Neutrality, but enforce the Foreign Enlistment Act.\n\nIt seems to me (pace the L.O. on `20355/04`) that belligerents are not entitled to provision their ships for war, which makes a difference.\n\nAs to fitting out a naval Expedition to proceed against the Dominions of a friendly state, F.O. and Consulting the Law Officers, I send draft and propose to write to F.O. as proposed by W.W. Cropper, not that \"M\" (cannot function as liking the renewal) refer to their letter about the Formosa blockade, and that hostilities.\n\n### Further Minute\n\nI feel for the F.O. but still we must press for an answer. They naturally wish to keep in good terms with the French and care more for their good prima facie than for that of the heathen Chinese.\n\nBut, as I said to Sir J.

I spent about two years in the New Works Drawing Office of the Board and obtained a good experience of drawing office work. In 1926 I was employed on the design of the Reinforcement of Kempton Park Primary Filters, and when the construction of these commenced I was transferred to the office of the Resident Engineer there.\n\nPage 43", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-543-10 Water supply- Shing Mun Valley water works 21-4-1933 - 8-2-1934.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 594202, "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": "CO129-616-6 Hotels Ordinance- 1949 21-2-1949 - 21-2-1949", "page_number": 215, "title": "CO129-616-6 Hotels Ordinance- 1949 21-2-1949 - 21-2-1949", "content_text": "## Draft \n\nFile No. \n\n**SAVINGRAM TELEGRAM**\n\n* The word Priority may be entered here, if necessary. \n\nGOVERNOR, HONG KONG.\n\nTo: C.O. \nRepeated to: SSTEB \nFor transmission Tel.
