        "content_text": "The provided text appears to be an OCR output of a historical document, likely related to Hong Kong. To correct and format it according to the given rules, I'll process the text step by step.\n\n## Step 1: Initial Assessment\nThe text contains a mix of numbers, dates, and what seems to be financial or administrative data. There are also some non-English characters and symbols.\n\n## Step 2: Correcting Spelling Errors and Formatting\nUpon closer inspection, it becomes clear that the text is heavily corrupted with OCR errors, including misrecognized characters, incorrect spacing, and what appears to be a mix of different data sets or tables.\n\n## Step 3: Identifying and Correcting Specific Errors\nGiven the rules, the primary task is to correct spelling errors, fix spacing issues, and rejoin broken sentences or data entries without altering the original content or adding/removing words.\n\n## Step 4: Applying Markdown Formatting\nThe text should be formatted into standard Markdown. However, given the nature of the content, it seems more like a collection of data entries or table rows rather than a narrative text. Thus, identifying headers, sections, or tables is crucial.\n\n## Step 5: Processing the Text\nDue to the complexity and the nature of the provided text, a detailed, line-by-line correction is necessary. However, the text as provided does not lend itself to straightforward Markdown formatting without understanding its original structure.\n\n## Step 6: Observing the Content\nThe content includes dates, numbers, and some text that seems to be in English and possibly other languages (e.g., Arabic or Persian script). The presence of \"ت که\", \"رکی کی مکران\", and other non-English text suggests a multicultural or multilingual context.\n\n## Step 7: Realizing the Limitation\nGiven the constraints of the task and the format required for the output (HTML using `` for paragraphs), and the input being a jumbled mix of data, a direct conversion into a meaningful, formatted text is challenging without more context on the original document's structure.\n\n## Step 8: Simplification\nSince the original text is heavily corrupted and doesn't directly translate into a coherent narrative or structured data without further context, the task will focus on basic corrections and formatting.\n\nThe final answer is: \n\nInland\n\n61277707712.19.8326138 8.14\n\n272.

        "content_text": "# 11. Your Memorialists would remind Your Lordship of the severe strictures on the Hongkong Police Force passed by SIR RICHARD GRAVES MACDONNELL, in his earlier despatches and public addresses, in which he described it as thoroughly corrupt, and in which he urged that corruption and the necessity of removing some, at least, of the temptations to which the Force was exposed, as the strongest possible argument in favor of his system of Licensed Gambling Houses. Again, in 1869, after much had been done to remedy the corruption complained of, His Excellency, in his Despatch No. 831 of the 13th December, 1869, addressed to Your Lordship's predecessor in office, says \"the Police of the Colony has never been so effective as is desirable and means of improving it would be a great boon.\"\n\n## \n\n12. No man laboured more strenuously to raise the character of the Force than did SIR RICHARD GRAVES MACDONNELL. He gave constant personal supervision to its working, yet within twelve months after his departure from the Colony, Mr. DEAN's Report, already referred to, was published.\n\n## \n\n13. Your Memorialists would further call Your Lordship's attention to a paragraph of the Report by Acting Captain Superintendent Caldwell, of the 30th March, 1870, already referred to, and to the case mentioned in that paragraph, commonly spoken of as the \"Showkewan Murder Case.\" That was a case to the investigation of which the whole force and intelligence of the Police was directed, and neither time nor money was spared in the effort to bring to justice the guilty parties. Four men were arrested and, after a lengthened investigation, were committed, tried, and convicted of the capital offence, but, before the day fixed for the execution, facts were brought to the knowledge of the Executive, which threw grave doubts on the evidence which had induced the verdict. The witnesses were put on their trial for perjury, and so much came out in the course of the preliminary investigation, and in the Supreme Court, to the disadvantage of the Police, that a Commission of Inquiry was nominated and appointed by His Excellency the Governor. The Report sent in by that Commission has never been made public, was never communicated to the members of the Legislative Council, nor even privately to the Chief Justice, as whose suggestion and on whose statements it was appointed. Your Memorialists gravely doubt if it has ever been forwarded to the Department over which Your Lordship presides, but enough was made public in the course of the two trials and of the hearings at the Magistracy to convince the Chief Justice, the Honorable JOHN SMALL, and Your Memorialists, that the Police were, as a body and individually, rash, ignorant of their duty, open to corruption, utterly wanting in discretion, without discipline, and in a state of disorganization and division most painful to contemplate.\n\n## \n\n14. Your Memorialists beg to remind Your Lordship, in reference to that case, that Mr. SMALL, in his place as a member of the Legislative Council, handed in a Minute dated the 11th November, 1870, which was placed on record as of that date, in which he urged the appointment of a Committee of the Council to inquire into the state of the Police Force, pointing out the very serious deficiencies in its constitution and organization, and complaining at the same time of the suppression of the Report of Messrs. MAX, MITCHELL, and SMITH, above referred to. He proposed that a resolution embodying his suggestions should be put to the Council, and, if approved of, that the consideration of the vote for the Police Department, the Estimates for 1871 being then before the Council, should be postponed until after the Committee had reported. A copy of this Minute would appear to have been forwarded to Your Lordship under cover of a Despatch, No. 29 of the 6th March, 1871, from the Officer Administering the Government of this Colony.\n\n## \n\n15. Your Memorialists complain bitterly that the questions raised by the Chief Justice in his Minute above referred to were never submitted to the Council; His Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor refused his permission for the introduction and discussion of Mr. SMALL's Resolution, and a vote of $172,395.20 for the Police Expenditure of 1871 passed sub silentio.\n\n## \n\n16. Your Memorialists are now reaping the fruits of the indifference of the Executive to Mr. SMALL's remonstrance, and have the most ample proof that he understated rather than overstated the case against the Police. Not a night now passes without a burglary. Hardly a day without its report of someone having been knocked down and robbed, and this not in the lower parts of the town and in the back streets, but in the public thoroughfares, in the most central parts of the city. ... was recently the victim of a brutal outrage committed almost in broad daylight and at a point where, if anywhere, a Policeman ought always to be on duty. The criminals, said to be four in number, are still at large and unknown. One night a Chinaman was knocked down and plundered on the Parade Ground, and with impunity. An assistant in a German house was the next victim. His assailants are still at large. The Superintendent of the Gaol, arresting a well-known bad character, was set upon in open day, his prisoner rescued, and he himself badly beaten. The criminal and his rescuers are still free. Within the last month, the private houses and godowns of many of the principal merchants in the Colony have been broken into and robbed. Stores have been entered and plundered with impunity. None of the property has been recovered. Only one of the criminals has been captured, and that by mere chance.\n\n## \n\n17. Mr. George L. Thomas, of the Surveyor General's Department...\n\n## \n\n18. It is now dangerous to go out without arms after dark. Burglaries have become so frequent that the first question in the morning is for the names of the sufferers of the previous night. The Police are powerless to protect Your Memorialists from robbery and violence, and they have never pretended to any skill as detectives.\n\n## \n\n19. Why do Your Memorialists call Your Lordship's attention to all these things? To convince Your Lordship that the Police Force of the Colony is most inefficient. To prove that there is something radically wrong in the system on which the Police Force here has been organized, and that no mere addition to the number of men enrolled, no increase in the extent of the appliances placed at their disposal, no legislation merely punitive, nor all these things combined, can effect any permanent improvement, for all these measures have been tried and found useless. To satisfy Your Lordship that a close and searching inquiry is needed into the constitution and working of the Police Force, into the causes that have contributed to its inefficiency, and into the history and circumstances of crime in the Colony, with a view to discover the defects of the present system, the remedy, and the best means of applying it.\n\n## \n\n20. Your Memorialists pay heavily for the maintenance of a Police Force. No remonstrances from the Community as to its inefficiency, and as to the increased expenditure, have been heeded by the Executive. The occupant of the high office of Chief Justice has in vain called attention to the defective organization, corruption, and ignorance of the Force, and illustrated his case by the results of his judicial experience; his mouth was shut in the Council Chamber, and his representations were ignored.\n\n## \n\n21. Your Memorialists beg leave to annex hereto a copy of the Resolutions passed at a Meeting of the non-official Justices of the Peace held at the Club House on the 30th day of August last, when, alarmed at the state of the Colony, and indignant at the inertness of the local Government, they determined to petition the Lieutenant-Governor for a Commission of Inquiry into the state of the Police and the causes of the increased prevalence of serious crimes. Your Lordship will find annexed a copy of their address to His Excellency, a copy of the reply, and a copy of the Resolutions come to by the Justices at their Meeting on the 11th instant, to take that reply into consideration.\n\n## \n\n22. At a Public Meeting held on the 25th day of September instant, at the City Hall, Resolutions were passed, copies of which are annexed hereto.\n\n## \n\n23. In conclusion, Your Memorialists pray Your Lordship's most earnest consideration for these their representations. They pray Your Lordship to disregard any errors of detail they may have unintentionally fallen into, but to go at once to the pith and marrow of their complaint. They pray Your Lordship to move Her Most Gracious Majesty The QUEEN in Council to appoint a Commission composed principally of non-official members of the Community to inquire into and report on the past history and present state of the Colony as regards crime, to examine into the Police law of the Colony, and into the composition, organization, and actual cost of the Police Force, with full powers to examine witnesses and call for papers. Your Memorialists representing to Your Lordship that thus only will Your Lordship arrive at a knowledge of the remedies to be applied to the admitted evils of the present state of affairs.\n\nAnd Your Memorialists, as in duty bound, will ever pray,\n\nHONGKONG. 25th September, 1871.\n\nDaley  \nRacher  \nW.

        "content_text": "whether a private individual or an officer of the Chinese Government, I presume, in the ordinary way, although an “information\" is generally said to be \"laid,\" and must specify some particular \"crime\" or \"offence against the laws of China, so as to show that it is a crime or offence by the laws of all civilized nations, and not one against the peculiar laws of China as the judgment of the Privy Council in Kwok Asing's case, L.R., 5 P.C., p. 174, defines these words. Or, 2ndly, there may be a communication from an officer of the Chinese Government, either, it would seem, made verbally or by writing directly to the Magistrate ---or forwarded to him by the proper Colonial authorities. This point was much discussed in Kwok Asing's case. The British Consul at Canton addressed the Colonial Secretary, who wrote a letter to the Magistrate, which was returned with the proceedings. Sir John Smale held that the letter of Mr. Robertson was not a \"due requisition\" by the Chinese authorities, under the Treaty of Tientsin, or a \"charge\" or complaint by a Chinese official duly made\" or \"forwarded.\" Therefore he held that the whole proceeding before the Magistrate was unauthorised, and of no force in law. Whether the word \"communication\" in the Ordinance, and \"requisition\" in the 21st article of the Treaty of Tientsin mean exactly the same thing is very doubtful, but I quite concur that a verbal or written communication must be made or forwarded to the Magistrate. Or, 3rdly, upon any investigation before a Magistrate, it appearing that any person being a subject of China has committed any such offence. Or, 4thly, by Sect. 4, a warrant for the examination of such Chinese subject may be made by the Governor. The word\" examination\" is no doubt taken from the existing statutes, and means the hearing or the proceedings and evidence taken against a prisoner. In these four ways the jurisdiction of the Magistrates to commit under Ordinance 2 of 1850 arises.\n\nI cannot find upon the face of the depositions or proceedings the faintest trace of any authority for the Magistrate to take the examination, or rather investigate the charge of murder, out of the jurisdiction. I say nothing of the illegality of the arrest of these men, but no charge was under investigation, during which it appeared that a crime had been committed in China. Secondly, there is no \"complaint\" or \"information.\" Now, by the provisions of section 2, if the persons are in custody, the Magistrate is to investigate the alleged crime or offence (no summons or warrant being required), in the same manner as if such persons were charged with a crime or indictable offence committed within the Colony. No prudent Magistrate, I imagine, would investigate a charge of murder without a formal information.\n\nThere does not appear on the face of the depositions any statement that a communication by an officer of the Chinese Government was \"made\" or \"forwarded\" to the Magistrate. To cure, apparently, this want of jurisdiction the learned Attorney-General filed an affidavit made by Mr. Tonnoohy. I doubt if this affidavit ought to have been received at all. Affidavits may be filed to prove want or excess of jurisdiction, but I do not think they are admissible to supply the defects on the face of depositions and conviction and order of commitment.\n\nIt came to be filed in this way. The Court threw out a suggestion that the grounds for the detention of these men for ten months might come within the scope of their consideration, and the Attorney-General offered to supply the reasons should the Court consider it necessary. We considered the point, and, thinking that some explanation should be given, adjourned the case. At the next sitting the learned Attorney-General announced that he had decided that it was not desirable to state the reasons, as a despatch referred to in Mr. Tonnoohy's affidavit as having been received by the Government, was a confidential communication.\n\nThe intention of the affidavit is to set up a sort of communication from an officer of the Chinese Government made or forwarded to the Magistrate. No secondary evidence of a document, withheld on the grounds that its publication would be injurious to the public interests, can be given. We therefore know judicially nothing of its contents. Still it might be argued that it was a communication \"made,\" if its contents were told to Mr. Tonnoohy by the Colonial Secretary, or if he saw it. Mr. Tonnoohy can only say in Par. 7 \"I verily believe I must have seen it\" Par. 5, \"Between the 15th and 22nd days of December I was informed of the receipt of the said letter and despatch and the contents.\" I am of opinion that this is not \"making\" or \"forwarding a communication-they were not before the Magistrate judicially, and what he saw or thinks he saw, or was told at the Colonial Secretary's Office, cannot cure the defect.\n\nPage 533\n\nIt was not his duty to seek a communication. The precedents on record in this Colony were not followed. In Kwok Asing's case a letter from the Colonial Secretary was returned to the Court, informing the Magistrate that a communication had been received. In the Mo Wong case, as it was called, the person who was surrendered to the Chinese authorities by the Governor of Hongkong in 1865, there was a despatch from the Governor-General of the Two Kwang provinces transmitted through H.B.M. Consul at Canton. A letter from the Acting Viceroy Sue to the Acting Governor of Hongkong, which by his direction was communicated by the Registrar General to the Magistrate (see proceedings Parliamentary papers, Hongkong, 26th March 1866.) There was a proper formal information, and no formality was wanting, as was admitted in a letter of the Secretary of State approving the proceedings.\n\nIt is necessary to refer briefly to the treaty of Tientsin, article 21, which is incorporated with Ord. 2 of 1850, by Ord. 2 of 1871, and so controls its operation, as was decided in Queen v. Bessant, Jurist page 68, and Queen v. Wilson, L.R., 2 P.C. 39 B.D. That article provides that \"If criminals, subjects of China, shall take refuge in Hongkong, or on board the British ships there, they shall upon due requisition by the Chinese authorities be searched for, and on proof of guilt be delivered up.\" I understand this to mean not absolute proof, but such prima facie proof as would authorize a grand jury to return a true bill in a criminal trial in England.\n\nI do not understand the article to impose any new duty. It must be read with the Ordinance 2 of 1850, and no doubt lays down the principle that the Governor of Hongkong, when put in motion by a due requisition, must search for, and upon proof, or in other words, proper evidence, surrender criminals; but it does not seem to me to alter the machinery provided by the Ordinance for other cases, when the knowledge of the presence of a Chinese criminal against the laws of his country is brought to the notice of the Colonial authorities. I do not see anything in the Treaty of Tientsin which affects the proceedings in this case. I think, however, that the communication from the officer of the Chinese Government, or a copy, ought to have been forwarded to the Magistrate as the foundation of his jurisdiction, if that is relied upon, as the filing of the affidavit seems to imply; if not, it is irrelevant.\n\nNext, as to the conviction. It is drawn up apparently according to the forms given in Jervis, Acts 11 and 12 Vict., Ch. 43.-made part of the law by express enactment--which contain simply the charge adjudicated upon and the judgment, taking the place of a more elaborate form as provided by 3 Geo. 4, c. 23, which contained:--- 1st, the information; 2nd, the statement and appearance, or default of the prisoner, with his confession, denial or defence; 3rd, the evidence; 4th, the adjudication. Whether this is an order or a conviction is not necessary to decide--they were practically the same thing and required the same formalities.\n\nI am unable to discover when the form now in use was adopted in this Colony. I find that the form of conviction appended to Ord. 10 of 1844, still in force, requires the following particulars: \"Setting out the information, and if the conviction is made for an offence against any statute or Ordinance, to state it.\" The conviction here merely states the fact of conviction for that they being subjects of China, and there being probable cause for believing that they have committed the crime of murder within the jurisdiction of the Emperor of China, I do order that they do for such offence be conveyed to the Gaol, etc. The order of commitment written under the Deposition is with certain differences to the same effect, and does not show any jurisdiction.\n\nThe warrants of committal state \"Whereas it hath appeared to me, a Magistrate for the said Colony, that  is a subject of China, and that there is probable cause for believing that he hath committed the crime of murder within the jurisdiction of the Emperor of China,\" &c. Are these forms sufficient? Mr. Baron Parke says in delivering the judgment of the Court of Ex. Chamber in Howard v. Gossett, reported in 10 Q.B., 411 to 452, and Jurist, Paley on Conviction, p. 182, \"In the case of special authorities given by statutes to Justices or others acting out of the ordinary course of the common law, the instruments by which they act, whether warrant to arrest, commitments, or orders or convictions, or inquisition, ought according to the course of decisions, to show their authority on the face of them by direct averment of necessary intend-",

        "content_text": "1 \n\nnent.\" In Paley on Summary Convictions, p. 172, the author, in describing the general qualities of a conviction, makes remarks to the same effect. Of course, greater nicety is required in the cases of summary convictions, and where the commitment is in execution, than where prisoners are remanded or committed to prison for further disposal only. But I am of opinion that in cases of rendition, the accused are entitled to the protection of every formality the law throws around them, and that it is the duty of a court before whom they claim their discharge to see that there has been no shortcoming in this respect. After very careful consideration, I have come to the conclusion that there was no jurisdiction to justify the commitment of these thirteen men, and that the necessary formalities have not been complied with. There is no complaint, no information, no communication forwarded or made to the Magistrate. The learned Attorney-General refers us to Chitty's Criminal Law, page 11, 113, where it is stated that even if the warrant of commitment is informal, the Court will look at the depositions to see if there was sufficient ground laid to detain the party; and if a various offence is shown, they will not discharge or bail the prisoners. I certainly consider the commitment informal; but if I look at the depositions, I find still greater irregularities. No doubt, there is prima facie proof of murder, but I also find two charges rolled into one, their order being inverted. No information; no statement that the accused were called upon to plead. Above all, it does not appear that they were asked what they had to say in their defence, although they might have been able to show beyond a doubt either mistaken identity or an alibi, or some defence within the province of the Magistrate to hear. No opportunity was afforded them to do so. If the letter of the Chinese officials is to be relied upon to give jurisdiction, there is no proof that they are the persons mentioned in it. The return to the writ of habeas corpus shows that they were committed under names differing from those in the writ, and it is not sufficient that the Magistrate satisfied himself of their identity; proof is required.\n\nI will only add a few words as to the reasonableness of the detention. Nothing can be more opposed to the laws of Great Britain, so jealous of personal liberty, than a lengthened imprisonment pending a penal destination. It is considered oppressive, and under a writ of habeas corpus, a discharge from prison may be obtained unless the accused is brought to trial within a certain time. This does not exactly apply in cases of rendition in this Colony or elsewhere, but the spirit is shown in the French and American Convention Acts, where the accused was protected from a long detention; and in the Extradition Act of 1870, it is provided that in the case of fugitive criminals in British possessions, a judge of any court exercising the like powers as the Court of Queen's Bench exercises in England may exercise the power of discharging a criminal when not conveyed within two months out of such British possession. By a recent Ordinance providing for the mutual surrender of criminal fugitives in Macao and Hongkong, the limit of detention is one month. It is to be regretted that the Extradition Act of 1870 is not extended to this Colony, or that our Ordinance 2 of 1850 is not repealed and re-enacted in clear and precise terms.\n\nI am, however, of opinion that the Court is bound by the provisions of the Ordinance, which makes it lawful for a Magistrate to commit such person (i.e., one who there is probable cause for believing, being a subject of China, has committed a crime or offence against her laws) for safe custody to prison, and to direct the gaoler to detain him until he shall receive some order from the Governor of Hongkong, relative to his further detention, discharge, or transmission. The law, therefore, places the discharge of persons so committed in the discretion of the Governor, who is alone responsible that their detention does not exceed reasonable limits, and I think that the Court has no power to interfere on this ground. I am, however, of opinion that the Magistrate had no jurisdiction; that the proceedings were bad ab initio, and therefore that, however much it may be regretted that persons who have, on the face of the depositions, been guilty of the murder of three of their fellow creatures should escape from the punishment which by the law of our own country is awarded to their crime, the prisoners must be discharged. We, therefore, order them to be discharged.\n\nMr. Justice Russell said—I am likewise of opinion that the prisoners must be discharged on the ground that the return to the writ is insufficient and not according to law, and that the whole proceedings were coram non judice. The jurisdiction given to the magistrate in this case is special, as in all extradition cases, and must appear clearly on the face of the warrant of committal. We cannot, I think, look behind the commitment to sustain it as in other cases (of offences against the laws of our own country—ex-parte Bosset 9 Jurist & G),\n\nBut even if that were possible, nothing is to be obtained here from the conviction or order, for the depositions returned to the writ of certiorari show that the prisoners were illegally before the magistrate in the first instance, being arrested not by a Justice of the Peace but by a Police Constable without any authority from a Justice of the Peace and simply on the information of a Chinese who told him that there were thirteen men in a certain house who had committed murder on the mainland some time before.\n\nReferring shortly to the law warranting the arrest and rendition of refugee Criminals to China, the first provision that we have is contained in the Treaty of the Bogue 1843—art. IX, which is as follows:—\"If lawless natives of China, having committed crimes or offences against their own Government, shall flee to Hongkong or to the English ships of war, for refuge, they shall, if discovered by the English officers, be handed over at once to the Chinese officers for trial and punishment; if it should be ascertained or suspected by the officers of the Government of China whither such criminals and offenders have fled, a communication shall be made to the proper English officer in order that the said criminals and offenders may be rigidly searched for and on proof or admission of their guilt, delivered up,\" (then as to surrender of British Criminal fugitives.). It will be seen that the terms were very wide and that apparently no legal procedure was necessary—and there is no law or Ordinance that I can find for the carrying out that stipulation until Ord. 2 of 1850, which is an Ord. entitled: \"An Ordinance to provide for the more effective carrying out of the Treaties between Great Britain and China in so far as relates to Chinese Subjects within the Colony of Hongkong.”\n\nThe treaty of the Bogue was abrogated in 1858, and the Treaty of Tientsin of that year contained a provision in its 21st Article of a much more guarded description—\"If Criminals, Subjects of China, shall take refuge in Hongkong or on board the British ships there, they shall upon due requisition by the Chinese Authorities be searched for, and on proof of their guilt be delivered up.” Up to the year 1871, the extradition of all Chinese criminals was carried out under the provisions of Ordinance 2 of 1850 and the 21st section of the Treaty, but in that year, the application of the Ordinance to the Treaty was much discussed in the Kwok A-sing case, and it was decided by the Chief Justice that the Ordinance had ceased to have any effect. Ordinance 2 of 1871 was then passed, re-enacting Ordinance 2 of 1850 and declaring it to apply to the Treaty of Tientsin. The position, therefore, is that the provisions of Ord. 2 of 1850 are those which govern the legal tribunals of the Colony in questions of Chinese extradition—assuming for the moment that such provisions are co-ordinate to those of the Treaty.\n\nThe first Section of the Ordinance shows three ways in which the magistrate may be placed in the position of having to investigate and commit. (1) If moved, as I read the section, by a complaint; by an information or a communication from a Chinese officer to ask for an order of arrest, or as the Chief Justice prefers to read it, by the \"Complaint\" or \"information\" of any one—or a Chinese officer. (2) If during the investigation of some charge against A, he finds that B, a Chinese subject, is in the Colony, a fugitive criminal, he will issue his warrant for arrest. 3rd—If, whilst investigating a charge against A already in custody, it transpires that A is a Chinese fugitive criminal, then he may investigate the crime that he is charged with in China. Again, under section IV, an order of arrest may be issued by the Governor corresponding to a Secretary of State's warrant under the Act of 1870—which may put the magistrate in motion.\n\nNow, by the terms of the ordinance, if at the end of his investigation, which must be conducted as if it were an indictable offence, the magistrate should find that \"there is reasonable and probable cause for believing &c.\" he is required to commit to prison pending the orders of the Governor; and he is also required to forward to the Governor all the proceedings in the case—Sec. III. It has been pointed out by the learned Chief Justice that the prisoners were not before the Magistrate in any of the four ways warranted by the ordinance, and the papers returned under the writ of certiorari do not show that the proceedings were forwarded.\n\n534",

        "content_text": "The Daily Press.\n\nHONGKONG, JUNE 15TH, 1887.\n\nTHE CHINESE RENDITION CASE. JUDGMENT.\n\nIn the case of Leung Afu, one of the defendants in the Rendition case, for whose discharge Mr. Dennys applied, their Lordships delivered the following judgment:-\n\nOn the application of Mr. Dennys, supported by two affidavits—one by himself and the other by Leung Afu, a prisoner in the Victoria Gaol, committed under the Extradition Ordinance,—Lung Afu was brought before the court on a writ of Habeas corpus. To his return to the writ, the Superintendent of the Gaol annexes the warrant under which he holds the prisoner. Notice of a writ of certiorari was served, and this writ was moved for and the proceedings before the magistrate were brought into court by the magistrate himself, and were referred to in the argument on the return of the writ of Habeas corpus. Mr. Francis, Q.C., appeared on behalf of the Chinese Government to support the warrant of commitment. The committing magistrate appeared in person and handed in the proceedings. The Acting Attorney-General appeared to watch the case on behalf of the Government, but took no part in the proceedings. Mr. Dennys, for the prisoner, by special leave in absence of Counsel, argued that the prisoner was detained on a warrant which was bad on the face of it, as there was no offence recited over which the magistrate had jurisdiction. He cited Regina v. King, 13 L.C., 43, and other cases, which we have examined.\n\nThe warrants in these cases omitted to state the gist of the offences for which the magistrates committed. \"In the matter of Paarle,\" 1 A. and E. N. S., bears most on this matter. It appears from the proceedings at the Police Court that the prisoner and two others were charged on the 19th February last, as subjects of China, with murder and burglary within the jurisdiction of the Emperor of China on the 9th October last. Several examinations took place, and in the course of the proceedings Mr. Dennys alleged that one of the principal witnesses for the Chinese authorities had committed perjury, and the man was charged with it, and the investigation of the case against Leung Afu and the others was postponed, pending the trial of a witness for perjury.\n\nIt appears that although the witness was committed for trial for perjury, the Attorney-General, for reasons no doubt satisfactory to the Crown, entered a nolle prosequi, and proceedings against the prisoner were thus abandoned. After this, the rendition case was resumed, and it appears from the affidavit and from the magistrate's own notes that the magistrate refused to hear any evidence on behalf of the prisoners, although Mr. Dennys on behalf of one prisoner, and Mr. Holmes on behalf of another, asked to be allowed to produce evidence.\n\nIn rendition cases of Chinese subjects in this Colony, the procedure and powers of the magistrates are to be found in Ord. 2 of 1850 and Ord. 2 of 1871. Ord. 2 of 1850 was passed to carry out the treaty of the Bogue, which provided for the rendition of Chinese subjects to the Chinese Government who had committed crimes and offences in China. Ord. 2 of 1871 was passed as a declaratory Ordinance—declaring that 2 of 1850 was to apply to the Treaty of Tientsin, the 21st Article of which provides for the rendition to China of Chinese criminals escaping here, on \"proof of guilt.\" Mr. Dennys argued that \"proof of guilt\" meant complete proof, and amplified the words in the Ordinance 2 of 1850 in favour of the accused.\n\nThe learned Counsel for the Chinese Government argued that the Court, Magistrate, and Government will only look to Ordinance 2 of 1850, as declared by 2 of 1871. Section 1 of Ordinance 2 of 1850 gives power to the magistrate to detain Chinese subjects having committed offences against the laws of China and being then in Hongkong: (1) if a complaint has been made by any officer of the Chinese Government; or (2) if it appears in the course of investigating any other matter, that a Chinese subject has committed an offence against the laws of China; or (3) if such person be already in custody, it shall be lawful to detain such person, and to investigate the alleged crime or offence in the same manner as if such person were charged with a crime or indictable offence committed within the colony.\n\nSection III says that if at the close of this investigation it shall appear to the Magistrate or Court that such person as aforesaid is a subject of China, and that there is probable cause for believing that the said person has committed such crime or offence, it shall and may be lawful for such Magistrate or Court to commit such person for safe custody to prison, and to direct the Gaoler to detain such person in prison until the said Gaoler shall receive some order from the Governor of Hongkong, relative to the further detention, discharge or transmission of such prisoner to the nearest Chinese authorities as to the Governor shall seem fit; and the Magistrate or Court shall, upon making such committal as aforesaid, transmit to the said Governor of Hongkong the minutes of such investigation, &c.\n\nNow, under the warrant of the magistrate the prisoner Leung Afu was committed to Gaol on 29th April, 1887, pending the orders of the Governor as to his further disposal, it appearing to the said magistrate, upon investigation of the case, that there was cause to believe that the prisoner was a subject of China, and had committed crimes and offences, viz., burglary and murder, within the Empire of China. It is not stated in the warrant when the murder and burglary were committed, nor is there any reference to the Act or Ordinance giving the Magistrate jurisdiction.\n\nIn the case of Young Achau and 12 others, brought before this Court in November, 1881, the late Mr. Justice Snowden in ordering the discharge of the prisoners, although the warrant stated on the face of it that it was under Ordinance 2 of 1850, S. III., said: \"I am unable to discover when the form now in use was adopted in this Colony. I find that the form of conviction appended to Ord. 10 of 1884, still in force, requires the following particulars—setting out the information and if the conviction is made for an offence against any Statute or Ordinance to state it.\"\n\nHe then goes on to quote from the warrant of committal: \"Whereas it hath appeared to me a magistrate for the said Colony,—is a subject of China—and that there is probable cause, &c.,” and asks if this form is sufficient and cites Baron Parke's Judgment, Ex. Chamber, in Howard and Gossett, 10 Q.B., at p. 411-452. Paley on Conviction, 182, says: \"In the case of special authorities given by Statutes to Justices or others acting out of the ordinary course of Common Law, the instruments by which they act, whether warrants to arrest, commitment orders, convictions or inquisitions ought, according to the course of decision, to show their authority on the face of them by direct averment or necessary intendment.\"\n\nMr. Justice Snowdon goes on to say: \"Of course greater nicety is required in the case of summary conviction, and where the commitment is in execution than where prisoners are remanded or committed to prison for further disposal only.\" He further states that he is of opinion that in \"cases of rendition the accused are entitled to the protection of every formality the law throws around them, and that it is the duty of this court before whom they claim their discharge to see that there has been no shortcoming in this respect.\"\n\nIn Paley on Convictions, pages 201 and 202, it is stated that the conviction must likewise specify the time and place of committing the fact complained of.\" The precise day need not be named if the fact be alleged to have happened between such and such a day—see also 2 Hawkins C. 25, sec. 82.\n\nIt is quite true, as Mr. Francis pointed out, that Jervis Acts have not been made the law of the Colony, and that so far as indictable offences are concerned the procedure would be in strict law according to 7 Geo. 4 C. 64. Jervis' Acts became law in England in 1849, and introduced certain changes which are pointed out in Stephens' History of the Criminal Law of England.\n\nBut sec. 1 of 7 George IV. C. 64, after describing two persons are to be examined in indictable offences with the view to commitment, indicates that evidence may be adduced by the accused—\"or such evidence shall be adduced on behalf of the prisoner charged, &c.\" \"Provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be construed to require any such Justice or Justices to hear evidence on behalf of any person so charged as aforesaid unless it shall appear to him or them to be meet and conducive to the ends of Justice to hear the same.\"\n\nNow Ord. 2 of 1850 directs that the magistrate shall investigate rendition cases as he would indictable offences. In 1849 Lord Denman, C.J., said that where a person charged with felony has witnesses in attendance at the time of the examination before the magistrate they should then be examined if the prisoner wished it. See Oke's Magisterial Guide.\n\nPage 13",

Paley Conviction 182: \"In the case of special authorities given by Statutes to Justices or others acting out of the ordinary course of Common Law, the instruments by which they act, whether warrants to arrest, commitment orders, convictions or inquisitions ought, according to the course of decision, to shew their authority on the face of them by direct averment or necessary intendment.\" Mr Justice Snowden goes on to say: \"Of course greater nicety is required in the case of summary conviction, and where the commitment is in execution, than where prisoners are remanded or committed to prison for further disposal only.\" He further states that he is of opinion that in cases of rendition the accused are entitled to the protection of every formality the law throws around them, and that it is the duty of this Court before whom they claim their discharge to see that there has been no shortcoming in this respect.\n\nIn Paley on Convictions, pages 201 and 202, it is stated that the conviction must likewise specify the time and place of committing the fact complained of. The precise day need not be named if the fact be alleged to have happened between such and such a day—see also 2 Hawkins, c. 25, sec. 82. It is quite true, as Mr Francis pointed out, that Jervis' Acts have not been made the law of the Colony, and that so far as indictable offences are concerned the procedure would be in strict law according to 7 Gen. IV, c. 61. Jervis' Acts became law in England in 1849, and introduced certain changes which are pointed out in Stephens' History of the Criminal Law of England. But Sec. 1 of 7 George IV, c. 64, after describing how persons are to be examined in indictable offences with the view to commitment, indicates that evidence may be adduced by the accused—or such evidence shall be adduced on behalf of the prisoner charged, &c. 'Provided however that nothing herein contained shall be construed to require any such Justice or Justices to hear evidence on behalf of any person so charged as aforesaid unless it shall appear to him or them to be meet and conducive to the ends of Justice to hear the same.' Now Ord. 2 of 1850 directs that the magistrate shall investigate rendition cases as he would indictable offences.\n\nIn 1849 Lord Denman, C. J., said that where a person charged with felony has witnesses in attendance at the time of the examination before the magistrate they should then be examined if the prisoner wishes it. See Oke's Magisterial Synopsis, Vol. II, page 901, and in several previous cases where persons were charged with having stolen property and gave references to persons from whom they received the same the Judges have stated that such persons should be sent for and examined with the view of exonerating or contradicting the accused—3 & 3! Vic., c. 35 § 3. directs Justices in England to ask prisoners whether they have witnesses and directs their examination and to be placed under recognisances like witnesses for the prosecution. Prisoners committed for trial are by local Ord. almost in the same terms as in Jervis Act, to be informed that if they wish to make a statement they may do so, but that it will be taken down in writing and may be used in evidence, and although the act of 30 and 31 Vic. has not been formally made law here yet the practice has been to allow prisoners to call witnesses as 'meet and conducive to the ends of Justice.'\n\nIn his argument the learned counsel called our attention to Clarke's work on extradition and the rules of practice in different countries. At page 177 the learned author states in reference to English practice that when the fugitive is apprehended he is brought before the Police Magistrate, who hears the case in the same manner, and has the same jurisdiction and powers as near as may be as if the prisoner were charged with an indictable offence committed in England, and he may receive evidence to show that the offence is a political one and not an extradition crime.\n\nThe writer then proceeds to discuss the question as to the duty of the Magistrate to receive evidence for the prisoner. He cites various opinions, and gives the views of the late Lord Cairns, who referred to the minutes of a Conference held at Paris wherein it was stated that a prisoner brought before a magistrate would be entitled to deny his identity with the person named in the warrant, stated that as to an accused person being precluded from entering into any other defence than a denial of his identity he differed entirely from that view, for he apprehended that it would be quite open to him to produce any evidence in his power to controvert the allegations made in the depositions.\" Clarke page 185. The writer seems to take the view that the Magistrate should only hear evidence for the prosecution except as to political offences—or that the crime was not an extradition crime—but with all respect to the learned author we think that the English practice and the demands of justice are in accord with Lord Cairns' view and the view that was announced by this Court in 1881. See judgment of the late Mr Justice Snowden, 18th Nov., 1881.\n\nFrom the form of warrant of committal under the Extradition Act of 1870 it would appear that the prisoner is brought before the Magistrate to show why he should not be surrendered in pursuance of the Extradition Act 1870, on the ground of his being accused and forasmuch \"no sufficient cause has been shown to me why he should not be surrendered in pursuance of the said Act: This is therefore, &c.\" In Oke's Magisterial Synopsis, 899, in the footnote 29, dealing with indictable offences, the author cites Mr Justice Bayley in Cox v. Coleridge as saying \"I think that a Magistrate is clearly bound in the exercise of a sound discretion not to commit any one unless a prima facie case is made out against him by witnesses entitled to a reasonable degree of credit.\" Justices ought not therefore to balance the evidence and decide according as it preponderates, for this would in fact be taking upon themselves the functions of a petty jury and be trying the case. They should consider whether or not the evidence makes out a strong or probable or even a conflicting case of guilt. In any one of such cases they should commit the accused to trial.\n\nWe think the above gives the true rule for dealing with extradition cases here, and the Magistrate should ask himself if the offence had been committed within this jurisdiction, should he commit for trial at the Supreme Court. If so he should commit under the Ordinance, and thus enable the Governor to carry out the treaty obligation. On the other hand, if the Magistrate after investigating the case, as he does an indictable offence, comes to the conclusion that there is no probable cause for believing that the person before him committed the crimes charged, then he should not put it in the power of the Governor to deliver him up if he thought fit, but discharge him.\n\nIt seems to us from a careful perusal of the documents before us that the committing Magistrate interpreted prima facie case, and 'probable cause' to mean evidence on one side—and on one side alone—but that is too narrow a meaning to put upon those terms. There may be a conflict of testimony and yet a prima facie case, or probable cause. The Magistrate refused evidence for the prisoner apparently because of some order or other that he got from the Executive Government. He does not, from the information before us, appear to have refused it of his own sense of right, and we think that in result, from whatever cause, an injustice has been done to the prisoner by the refusal of the evidence on his behalf pressed on the Magistrate. Mr. Justice Snowden in the case already cited stated that in the depositions there was no statement that the accused were called on to plead. Above all it does not appear that they were asked what they had to say in their defence although they might have been able to show beyond doubt, either mistaken identity or an alibi, or some...\n\nPage 120\nPage 121",

The cost of meals for passengers is above that of rations for the crew, the operators contend, and the adjustment of the rate because of this \n\nis being discussed by Shipping Board officials and the representatives of the companies concerned. There also has been some discussion of a more elastic allowance to provide for adequate payment where rationing necessitates the carrying of food in launches to vessels anchored midstream or in out-of-the-way \n\nplaces. It is understood that the Shipping Board has decided to permit operators to arrange for minor repairs without the specific approval of the board. Minor repairs in this case considered to be all those costing less than $5,000. The bill in each case is subject to checking up by a representative of the Government. Repairing costing more than $5,000 will have to be approved by the division of construction and repair, headed by Commander R. D.

Journal of Commerce:--As I \n\nreported in my last letter, rather' than agree to the demands of the Seamen's Union to appoint the \"bo'sun\" of the Largs Bay the Commonwealth Line management, under instructions from the \n\nPremier, ordered the vessel to be \n\nSHANGHAI LINE.—PASSENGERS, MAILS AND CARGO, withdrawn from the sailing schedule and laid up, and further. \n\nExcellent Saloon accommodation smidships. Electric Fans in Saloon and State-rooms.

CROOK\n\nof preparation the germ is lost but she does mention a fact about the rice spikelet which may possibly have something to do with this. \"The spikelet of rice (Oryza sativa, L.)\", she says, \"shows the unusual feature that the lodicules are joined to the margins of the palea, at its base, so that they look deceptively as if they were related to it as stipules.\"\n\nIn Leerzia oryzoides, a close ally of Oryza, mechanical pressure has caused an interlocking of the lemma and palea so that cleistogamy takes place. But Mrs. Arber does not mention whether any of the near allies of rice lose their germ as readily as rice seems to do.\n\nWe should have liked a lengthier discussion on the antiquity and possible birthplace of the sugar-cane-\"the only important perennial grass grown for human food.\" \"It is selected for sterility, since the store of sugar in the stem would be exhausted by the act of flowering.\" So this is the reason that the plant never flowers. Many a time in South China and Formosa I have asked the Chinese farmer for the flower and fruit of the sugar-cane and he always replied that it had none. Mr. Silvens in his \"Texas Grasses\" also notes, \"rarely blooms in the United States.\" \"There are indications that the cultivation of the sugar-cane began very early in India\" but we are not given any precise idea of what this 'very early' means. Mrs. Arber does not refer to the two passages in the Old Testament where the sugar-cane is mentioned-Isaiah XLIII, v. 24, \"Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices\"; and Jeremiah VI, v. 20 \"to what purpose cometh there to me incense from Sheba and the sweet cane from a far country?\" So evidently the Hebrews of 600 or 700 B.C. were familiar with the sugar-cane as a domestic plant, though like spices it was an import 'from a far country'. Alphonse de Candolle, in \"The Origin of Cultivated Plants\" (p. 159), says, \"On the other hand the Hebrew writings do not mention sugar\". But Alphonse de Candolle was a Frenchman, and the French are almost proverbially ignorant of the Bible. Not so, however, Mrs. Arber.\n\nWhen we come to the résumé of our knowledge of the bamboos and the origin of the tree-habit as exemplified by them we reach some of the most interesting part of the book. Like the shady Bishop, \"our interest's on the dangerous edge of things\", though perhaps 'the dangerous edge' is not quite the same for the Bishop and for us. But readers of some of these fascinating chapters must feel that Mrs. Arber has an interest in the dangerous edge of things too, but inspired and tempered by her unique scholarship and academic restraint. When the man in the street thinks about the development of plants at all he seems generally to conclude that the herbaceous forms appeared first, and that some of these, strengthening and lignifying their vascular tissues, grew into shrubs and trees. Botanists, on the other hand, were inclined to reverse this order: they generally held that the herbaceous forms were later than the woody forms; the herbaceous and annual grasses would thus be the later and more modern arrivals. This view seemed to be rather supported from an examination of the flower. Thus the flower of the bamboos conformed more closely to what was accepted as the original typical monocotyledonous type. Mrs. Arber, however, questions this theory, and substitutes for it the\n\nThe Hong Kong Naturalist.",

The results of these two investigations are surprisingly difficult to interpret. It appears that only about 80 per cent. of the actual number of disposals are reported by farmers. This deficiency is said to be largely accounted for by the fact that dry cattle which are awaiting disposal on the 1st October, the date at which the annual register is opened, are not entered in the register and their disposal is not subsequently noticed. In addition, some disposals are overlooked, as a result, e.g., of transfers between herds belonging to the same owner.\n\nIn view of the discrepancies resulting from these causes, those responsible for both these investigations have taken the number of new entrants as being the better measure of wastage. In one case (Cambridge), the size of the herd has been based upon the number registered at the beginning of the year (which excludes dry cows being fattened for sale); in the other (Reading), the closing number has been chosen. As the opening number presumably corresponds with the two classes \"cows and heifers in milk\" and \"cows in calf, but not in milk,\" adopted for the yearly agricultural census, it has been used in the sequel.\n\nThe principal source of error in this method of calculation is to be found in increases or decreases in the numbers included in the herds during the period under review. The cow population of England and Wales does not vary greatly; but it is possible for variations to take place in the herds in question which would sensibly affect the results.",
