With these means of knowledge, and uninfluenced by any partial impressions which they might naturally create, I can safely undertake the responsibility (for such I do consider it) of strongly recommending your claims to a professional appointment.\n\nYour practice at the bar has, as far as my observation and information can reach, been marked by zeal, diligence, and ability; and, moreover, by gentleman-like bearing, and a high sense of honor and self-respect-I have said information, because I have several times, in your absence, heard the Judges on circuit, and the leading members of our bar, who practised in the Criminal Court, speak in the very highest terms of the manner in which you have conducted the cases entrusted to you; and I know that there were very few persons of whom my lamented and admirable friend, Sir Michael O'Loghlen, entertained a higher opinion, or for whom he felt a more sincere regard.\n\nI am old-fashioned enough to think that literary and classical acquirements may, even in our practical day, have some influence in the selection of persons to fill public appointments when combined with adequate professional knowledge; and if so, your high college reputation, of which you can have no difficulty in procuring testimonials, ought to be of use to you. I will conclude by saying, most sincerely, that upon every ground, public, professional, and personal, you have my earnest wishes for your success in obtaining a suitable appointment, and that you are at liberty to make use of this letter in any way in which you or your friends may deem beneficial.\n\nYour's truly,\n\nJEREMIAH JOHN MURPHY, M.C.\n\nTo Robert Foster Mullins, Esq.\n\nFrom Montifort Longfield, Esq., LL.D. and Q.C., one of the Commissioners for the Sale of Incumbered Estates in Ireland.\n\nFitzwilliam-square, February 25th, 1850.\n\nMY DEAR SIR-I feel much pleasure in observing that your success in your profession, and the high opinion entertained of you by our legal brethren correspond with the expectations which your distinguished career in the University led your friends to entertain.\n\nFrom your general attainments, I feel no doubt that you will honorably fill any legal post to which you may be appointed either at home or in one of the Colonies.\n\nI am, dear Sir, your's faithfully,\n\nM.

I am sure your promotion would be a source of gratification to many of your professional friends, and that upon trial you would justify the opinion we have formed of you.\n\nBelieve me, your's sincerely,\n\nJAMES O'BRIEN.\n\nFrom George Bennett, Esq., QC, the Leader of the Munster Circuit.\n\nMerrion-square, 10th January, 1850.\n\nMY DEAR MULLINS-In reply to your wish expressed that I should state my opinion of you as a barrister and gentleman, I have great pleasure in stating that having known you on my circuit for above twelve years,\n\nI can certify to your gentlemanly conduct, your professional diligence and ability, and your correct and efficient discharge of your business, and should feel happy to recommend you for any situation in your profession to which you may look. Indeed I have already given a specimen of my high opinion of you when I recommended you to be employed as one of my assistants in the Crown prosecutions on the Munster Circuit, which I did about four years ago, as well as I recollect. You are quite at liberty to refer any person whatever to me to give you my recommendation, which I will feel a pleasure in doing.\n\nI remain, my dear Mullins, faithfully your's,\n\nGEORGE BENNETT, Q.C., Father of the Munster Bar:\n\nTo Robert Foster Mullins, Esq.\n\nFrom Jonathan Henn, Esq., Q.C.\n\nUpper Merrion-street, 15th January, 1850.\n\nMY DEAR MULLINS-As I have gone the Munster Circuit ever since you joined it and have had ample opportunity of observing your conduct, I feel happy in bearing my testimony to your diligent attention, and to the ability with which you have uniformly discharged your professional duties. I assure you it will give me great pleasure to hear that you have been appointed to some really good situation. I mean such a one as may gratify your own honorable ambition, and as your merits in my opinion entitle you to expect.\n\nBelieve me, very sincerely your's.\n\nJ.

Foster Mullins, Esq.\n\nFrom Gerald Fitzgibbon, Esq., Q.C.\n\nJanuary 25th, 1850.\n\nMY DEAR MULLINS--I have had the pleasure of knowing you at the bar, both as a friend and a lawyer, almost since you were called to the profession, and have been concerned in cases with you. I should feel it much easier to express the opinion which I entertain of you to any other person than yourself. I can very truly say that I know very few of your standing at the bar, better qualified as to professional acquirements, and none superior in moral and gentlemanly deportment to you. It is due to you, and to those who have to select from our profession, persons of ability and integrity for public offices to express the result of my intercourse with you, and I do so with perfect confidence, that you will do credit to the judgment of those who may appoint you to any office requiring legal ability and moral integrity in the person filling it.\n\nI am, my dear Mullins, very sincerely yours,\n\nGERALD FITZGIBBON,\n\n29, Upper Gloucester-street.\n\nTo Robert Foster Mullins, Esq.\n\nFrom the Hon.

I have no doubt that you will perform the duties of whatever office you may get with credit to yourself, and in every respect to the satisfaction of those who may appoint you. With best wishes for your success believe me always,\n\nVery truly your's,\n\nJOHN PLUNKET.\n\nTo Robert Foster Mullins, Esq., Barrister-at-law.\n\nFrom the Rev.

Mullins, Barrister-at-law, for many years during his course through College.\n\nFROM THE BEGINNING TO THE END HIS COLLEGE CAREER WAS MARKED BY DISTINCTIONS OF THE HIGHEST ORDER. He obtained first place at entrance, several First-Class Classical honors, FIRST OF THE UNIVERSITY SCHOLARSHIPS, and A GOLD MEDAL AND ETHICAL MODERATORSHIP AT HIS DEGREE EXAMINATION. His character, religious and moral, always appeared to me quite unexceptionable, and his conduct most gentleman-like and exemplary.\n\nI feel assured from my knowledge of him, that in whatever official position he may be placed, he will discharge its duties with ability and efficiency.\n\nTHOMAS LUBY, D.D., Senior Fellow, Trinity College, Dublin.\n\nTo R. F. Mullins, Esq., 17, Great Charles-street.\n\nFrom the Rev. George Sidney Smith, formerly Fellow of Trinity College, Dublin.\n\nDecember 13th, 1849.\n\nI had abundant opportunities of knowing the conduct and character of Mr. Robert Foster Mullins (now a member of the Irish bar), having been his College Tutor during his residence in the University of Dublin, a period of seven years.\n\nHe distinguished himself from the first by obtaining the highest honors. His place at entrance marked him as the most prominent Classical Scholar of his Class; this character he maintained by carrying off successive prizes until the Scholarship Examination, when he achieved the high distinction of the first Scholarship.\n\nSubsequently he obtained a Moderatorship and Medal at his Degree Examination in Logical and Ethical Science.\n\nI have pleasure in adding that the conduct of Mr. Mullins was marked by great diligence, regularity, sobriety of deportment, and moral principle during his honorable College career.\n\nGEORGE SIDNEY SMITH, D.D., formerly Fellow and Tutor of Trinity College, Dublin.\n\nTo R. F. Mullins, Esq., 17, Great Charles-street.\n\nFrom the Rev. James H. Todd, D.D., Senior Fellow of Trinity College, Dublin.\n\nI have had the pleasure of knowing Mr. R. F. Mullins during his residence in the University, where he distinguished himself by obtaining many of the highest Undergraduate honors.\n\nHis character as a gentleman, and as a religious and conscientious man, won him the esteem and respect of all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance.\n\nJAMES H. TODD, D.D., Senior Fellow of Trinity College, Dublin,\n\nTo R. F. Mullins, Esq., 17, Great Charles-street.\n\nFrom the Rev. S.

F. Mullins, Barrister-at-law, since the period when he first entered the University of Dublin.\n\nHis University career has been one of very eminent distinction. At the Entrance Examination he obtained the first place; at the subsequent Term Examinations he was equally successful, having obtained several Classical Honors of the First Class.\n\nHe was the first of the University Scholars in his year, and at his Degree Examination came out with an Ethical Moderatorship of the highest Class, and a Gold Medal.\n\nHis moral conduct I have always regarded as most exemplary, and in his deportment I have always found him most strictly correct and gentleman-like.\n\nFrom all that I know of his attainments and character, I feel satisfied that the duties of any official station in which Mr. Mullins might be placed, would be discharged by him with credit to himself and advantage to others.\n\nS.

I apply to Britannia, queen of seas and colonies, the words in which her latest novelist portrays his heroine: \"ake la as mild as she is game, and as game as she is mild.\" The English delight in the un- taganden which comhlars in one person the extremes of courage and tenderness. Nelson, dying at Trafalgar, sends his love to Lord Collingwood, and, like an inco- eent schoolboy that goes to bed, says, \"Kiss me Hardy,\" und turns to sleep. Lord Collingwood, his comrade, was of a nature the most affectionate and domestic. Admiral Rudney's figure approached to delicacy med effeminary, and he declared himself very sensible to fen, which he surmounted only by considerations of honour and public duty. Clarradan says, the Duke of Buckingham was so modest and gentle, that some com tiers altempted to put effrouts on him, until they found that this modesty and effeminacy was only a wark for the most terrible determination. And Sir James Perry said, the other day, of Sir Joha Franklin, that, \"If he found Wellington Sound open, he explored it; for he was a man who never turned his back on a danger, yet of that tenderness, that he would not brush away a Mon- quito,\" Even for tusir highway men the same virtues is elclmued, and Robin Hued tomes described to us an altissimus prædimum, the gentlest thief.

PEEL AND THE FOREIGN PRESS. The French papers are much amused with Sir Robert Peel's speech, and give copious extracts from it, together with translations from the comments of the London journals. The Assemblée of Saturday devotes an article of four columns to the matter, but it is only remarkable for the feeble attempts made to translate the Yankee expression \"soft sawder.\" The redacteurs of the Assemblée, who probably put their heads together and consulted their dictionaries, give the result of their learned researches in the following note:-*** It is all soft sawder, an expression more American than English, and one which it is impossible to translate literally, sawder' leans a sawyer who handles his saw lazily, and does but little work. A 'soft sawder' is what, in the language of working people, is called un lambin, un grande iche, une poule mouillée.\" Having by this lexicographical process obtained a choice of epithets, the Assemblée selects lambin as the most appropriate, and nervously in the text of the article it is represented that Sir Robert Peel, instead of saying that the grand duke's frankness and cordiality was all \"soft sawder,\" called him a \"great drené\" (lambin.)\n\nIn the matter of the Asiatic Marine Insurance Office. NOTICE is hereby given that by an Order of this Court the shareholders of the said\n\nASIATIC MARINE INSURANCE OFFICE\n\nare required to pay the further sum of Company's Rupees Two thousand\n\non or before the following dates, that is to say the shareholders resident in Calcutta or the suburbs on or before the tenth day of March next, the shareholders resident in Hongkong and Bombay on or before the tenth day of May next, and the shareholders resident in Great Britain and all other places not mentioned in the said Order on or before the first day of August next.

I have had a large experience of brain disease, and I am satisfied now that smoking is a most noxious habit. I know of no one other cause or agent that so much tends to bring on functional disease, and through this, in the end, to lead to organic disease of the brain, as excessive use of tobacco,”—Dublin Medical Press.\n\nTHOMAS HUNT & Co., Hongkong, March 26, 1857.\n\nFOR SALE.\n\nTHE undersigned has this day established himself as Shipping Agent at this port, in conjunction with PALMER, 3, 10 AM YAN DER HOEVEN of Canton, under the Firm of VAN DER HOEVEN & KOP.\n\nA.

(Laughter.) Like Hongkong residents in general, Mr Rennie had to endure the spectacle of all the good prizes going north to Shanghai.\n\nHe hoped, however, that their recent defeat would only nerve them to future victories, and as they had laid the foundation of their City Hall in days of depression, so, in the days of defeat, they would lay their plans to retain the next Challenge Cup at Hongkong. The winning of that costly prize reminded him that he differed from his Honble friend Mr Mercer, who was fond of comparing the Hongkong races to the Isthmian games of Greece. He did not think the recent winners would have been content with the Isthmian prize, a chaplet of withered parsley, a prize not much improved at the Nemean games, where, as well as he could remember, the victor was rewarded with green parsley. Indeed, when they called to mind that the classic victor seldom got anything but leaves,—laurel leaves at the Pythian, and olive leaves at the Olympic games,—many might think it rather fortunate that Hongkong only retained enough of classic precedent to turn over a new \"lent\" and give the winners solid and durable prizes of value. (Laughter.)\n\nTo conclude, however, and return to graver thoughts, he would ask them not to separate without permitting him in their name to express the hope that the new and beautiful edifice which they had that day commenced, might never be desecrated by the utterance within its walls of any disloyal sentiment from the lips of a British resident. They could not, of course, by any mere hope or wish, shape future events; still at such a moment there were wishes and feelings natural to them all, and he was not ashamed to give them utterance. In halls where public meetings were to be held in a free country, it would be idle to expect that there should not be at times much warmth of feeling and expression. They might, however, hope it would have reasonable limits, as became the warmth of true freedom which generates and vivifies, not the heat of turbulent license, which consumes and destroys.\n\nThey could not expect even that the intended ball room would be free from the jealousies and rivalries which lend sometimes more than ordinary interest to social gaieties, but they might wish at least a happy and fortunate ending to all such tender episodes. Above all, they would, he was sure, join him in the hope that the same sturdy self-relying spirit which had commenced the City Hall in the City's days of depression, would not desert the community, but be worthily maintained till it had achieved, ere the completion of the building, a return of the old prosperity, which he trusted might endure as long as the foundation which he had that day laid. In this hope he now called upon them to join in drinking \"Prosperity to the New City Hall of Victoria.\"\n\nThe toast was drunk with enthusiasm, and the Company shortly afterwards separated.\n\n5", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-121 - Sir MacDonnell - 1867 [3-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 289007, "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": "CO129-159 - Sir Kennedy - 1872 [9-12]", "page_number": 380, "title": "CO129-159 - Sir Kennedy - 1872 [9-12]", "content_text": "373\n\nDate\n\nAdults Children\n\nM.\n\nWhere from\n\nDrought forward 14,205\n\nWo arrived.\n\nShip's Name\n\nTone\n\n0\n\nNationality\n\nMaster's of ship.

POPE HENNESSY.\n\n## THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 31st JULY, 1880.\n\nin these cases it turned out that if a prisoner expressed a wish to go to Sydney, Brisbane, or any other port of Australia, the practice, Mr. DEANE said, was for the Police to see that man on board the emigrant steamer or ship, and, having seen him safely on board, to make sure, as far as they could, that he left the Colony. I think one witness-not Mr. DEANE, but one of the Inspectors-told the Committee he had seen thirty or forty, at all events a considerable number of the deported criminals, on board one ship.\n\nThe Chief Justice.-What date was this ?\n\nHis Excellency.-This used to go on regularly up to two and a half years ago, when I put a stop to the practice. I recently called for a report from Mr. DEANE upon this subject, and he says-(His Excellency read the report of the Captain Superintendent of Police, to the effect that if a deportee desired to leave for any place to which a steamer ran, he was seen on board by a Constable, who remained until his departure; if he desired to go to any native village to which a passage boat plied, the same course was pursued; if he wished to go to Kowloon City, he was escorted to the boundary and there released). The Committee of which my honourable friend (Mr. RYRI) was a member, not only took the evidence of Mr. DEANE and one of the Inspectors, but in their report they touched upon the subject, and, if I remember rightly, disapproved of the encouragement of the Emigration of Chinese criminals to Australia. However, I have not allowed that, and not one deportee has gone to Australia since my arrival in this Colony.\n\n## Extract from the “Daily Press\" of 24th November, 1879.\n\n### LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL. Hongkong.\n\nA meeting of the Legislative Council was held on 22nd November, 1879. There were present:-----\n\nHis Excellency the Governor, J. POPE HENNESSY, C.M.G. Honourable Sir JOHN SMALE, Chief Justice.\nHonourable W. H. Marsh, Colonial Secretary.\nHonourable J. RUSSELL, Acting Attorney General,\nHonourable M. S. Tonxoguy, Acting Colonial Treasurer.\nHonourable P. Ryrie.\nHonourable W. KESWICK,\n\nOn the Chinese Emigration Ordinance Amendment Bill, His Excellency the Governor said :--- Now, there was another proposed emigration about which I refused to issue my license, and that was the emigration of skilled artizans to Sydney and other parts of Australia, which Messrs. STEVENS & Co. put before me. Some members of my Executive Council appeared to think favourably of this scheme, and we had a good deal of discussion on the subject, but I adhered to the opinion which, on looking at the papers, I had originally formed that I should not relax in any way the rules of this Colony with respect to contract emigration with the object of facilitating the traffic which Messrs. STEVENS & Co. had in view. The idea of sending to Sydney or other parts of Australia a number of skilled Chinese artizans from Hongkong, would, it was pointed out to me, benefit considerably those Chinese who should be so taken, but I had to look to other considerations. I had to consider how far it was desirable for the Governor of this Colony to do anything in the way of relaxing the strict letter of the law so as to facilitate the emigration into Australia of Chinese workmen or labourers, at the very time when it seemed to me that the Governments of Australia were more or less embarrassed by this very question. Accordingly I refused to issue my license, and it happened that six or eight months after some trouble did occur at Sydney with the very steam-ship Company in question, owing to the fact that though I did not give my license in the form they had sought, yet some Chinese were conveyed in another way not in violation of our Ordinances, and the fact of these people arriving in Sydney led to disturbance and caused the local Government no small trouble.\n\nThere was another form of emigration to Sydney, Queensland, and other parts of Australia, against which I set my face in this Colony the moment I saw its possibility, or knew that it had overtaken place. That comes under the category more indeed of another subject recently discussed at this Council,--the deportation of criminals, than under that of emigration properly so called, and it is referred to by Mr. DEANE in his evidence before the Committee on Police and Crime. Mr. DEANE tells the Committee that some of the deportees or criminals who received conditional pardons were sent to Australia. The practice was: in the event of an emigrant ship being about to sail, these Chinese criminals were asked where they would like to go to, because neither the conditional pardon nor the deportation warrant of the Governor recited the place to which the criminal was to be deported; it simply stated in the one case the man was willing to leave the Colony and not to return for life, and in the other case he was ordered to leave and not return for five years, as the case might be.\n\n## POST OFFICE NOTICE.\n\n### Unclaimed Correspondence, 30th July, 1880.\n\n| Name | Letters | Registered Letters | Papers |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Adshood, E. | 1 | | |\n| Ashik, Autlerson, R.

What size of sewer would you propose for a town of 25,000 population where the gradient is 1 in 300? Illustrate your answer by sketches.\n\nAnswer: Geographical configuration, annual average rainfall, number of present population and prospective increase, taking the last census as a basis. Whether a full water-closet town, or if to be sewered on the separate system: the nature of the outfall with a view to gravitation or mechanical lifting, and other minor causes.\n\nThe size of the outfall sewer, in my opinion, should be not less than 3 feet 3 inches by 4 feet 6 inches, discharging 185 cubic feet per minute, thus allowing the sewage at 30 cubic feet per head per day to be discharged in eight hours. On the separate system this capacity for a full water closet town, and to allow for heavy rainfalls, say 3 feet by 4 feet 6 inches, if rain or surface waters is to be included, discharging 267 cubic feet per minute, with the inclination given of 1 in 300.\n\nQuestion 4\nWrite a specification for laying stoneware pipe sewers.\n\nAnswer: Being the specification for a pipe sewer, I assume that any local surveyor would be equal to this, and as it would take up a very considerable space in the SANITARY RECORD, without a corresponding benefit to surveyors generally, I omit to take up the space, the general features of such a specification being that the pipes shall be straight, sound, and true to bore, well and truly laid, and jointed in a perfectly water-tight manner; the earth excavated at the collars so that the body of the pipe may have a true bearing along its whole length. If in faulty ground concreted all around and on top to exclude uneven pressure; if on good ground, then the earth put in 6-inch layers, well rammed in around and above to avoid sinkage. All laid in straight lines from manhole to manhole, with provision for ventilation and lighting, so that a lamp inserted at a lamphole may be seen and show a light to an adjacent manhole, thus at once showing where any stoppage existed.\n\nQuestion 5.\nSupposing a sewer to have a gradient of 1 in 300, how much would the velocity and discharge be increased by altering the gradient to 1 in 60?\n\nAnswers: 1 in 300 = 4/57*32) = 7*92 increase of discharge per second. 1 in 60 = /1000 = 10*00) = 17*32 (1.732 increase of velocity per second.\n\n1005\n\n7320\n\n2000\n\n3200\n\n3000\n\n2000\n\n22000\n\nQuestion 6.\nGive a description of the process termed intermittent downward filtration. State what area of land you would require with a gravelly soil for applying this method of purifying sewage to a town with a population of 20,000 inhabitants; and state the arrangements you would adopt for dealing with the rain water falling on the roofs, yards, and streets.\n\nAnswer: Intermittent downward filtration may be termed a natural system of purification of sewage by means of the filtering and aërating action of the soil: it is carried on by discharging (with or without previous precipitation) upon a properly prepared area, the sewage of the town under drainage. This sewage is conducted upon the prepared area by a series of carriers, and then allowed to filter through the land into drains laid about 6 feet under ground, from whence it (as an effluent) is conducted to its outfall, mostly a river. The action upon the sewage is threefold—viz., evaporation, aëration, and filtration, and if properly conducted should give an effluent of a very high standard.\n\nAs to the amount of land requisite for the purification of the sewage of a town of 20,000 population, authorities differ, but taking the daily amount of sewage per head at 30 gallons, and the average of five persons to each house equal to 150 gallons per house per day, then the fact that this quantity must be got rid of in about eight hours, it would not be safe to reckon less than 1,000 gallons per house. Then taking 4,000 houses, there would be 4,000,000 gallons of sewage to deal with, which could be successfully treated on 5 acres of such land; but it would, of course, require that a very far larger amount should be provided, as no land could be expected to be constantly under treatment, and the least amount should be five times this quantity, so as to have only one-fifth under treatment.\n\nGreat diversity of opinion exists upon this subject, and no very hard and fast line can be drawn. Each case must rest upon individual merits and local circumstances.\n\nWith regard to dealing with rain-water from roofs, most of it should undoubtedly be stored for domestic use, as it is far too valuable to be uselessly wasted. Drainage from yards and roads should be conducted in separate channels (from the sewer proper) to a natural outfall: although often in storms the washings from roads may be nearly as bad as sewage; but, on the other hand, if the surface-water were admitted, the sewers would have to be greatly increased in size to provide for excessive rainfall.\n\nQuestion 7.\nDescribe and illustrate by sketches the essential points to be observed in carrying out a system of house drainage, and the best means of providing urinal and closet accommodation for schools, workhouses, and similar institutions.\n\nQuestion 8.\nIn arranging the water supply for a manufacturing town of 30,000 inhabitants, state what you consider of importance as regards (A) Sources of supply; (B) Quantity required; (C) Distribution.\n\nAnswer: (A) The geographical situation of the town, as to the possibility of gravitation from rivers or otherwise; the geological situation of its surroundings, with a view to its probability of affording a sufficiency of supply and its nature as to hardness, &c.; the annual average rainfall: what water rights, if any, existed; the present population and prospective rate of increase, and whether the town was a full water-closet one or otherwise.\n\n(B) Twenty-five to thirty gallons per head population.\n\n(C) Under pressure that all cisterns had ball-cocks and tell-tale overflows; that Deacon's waste-water preventers were in use; that a thorough system of inspection existed to detect waste; that the mains were well laid and efficiently jointed, and that a sufficiency existed for immediate use in case of fire. In the constant service system there is very little, if any, waste; the returns from many towns showing none; but in the intermittent there is often a large amount of waste through neglect of the inhabitants and defective fittings. The screw-down tap somewhat modifies this, but it is a very slow and unsatisfactory way of drawing water.\n\nQuestion 9.\nDescribe the general characters of the waters derived from—(1) The chalk; (2) the new red sandstone; (3) the carboniferous formations; and the methods by which water should be obtained from each.\n\nAnswer: (1) Water derived from the chalk formation, although generally pure and plentiful (except in long seasons of drought), is often very hard, leaving injurious effects on some constitutions.\n\n(2) Water derived from the new red sandstone formation is sometimes of a rather hard description, but not to the degree of that yielded by the chalk formation.\n\n(3) The carboniferous (or coal measure) formations always yields soft water of undoubted purity, and generally in ample volume for all purposes.\n\nQuestion 10.\nIn what ways is water able to be polluted after collection, during its distribution to houses, and in houses? What means would you adopt to prevent such pollution?\n\nAnswer: Water may become polluted after collection by fungoid growths and atmospheric influences (where exposed to such): during distribution, from imperfect pipes and joints allowing sewer or other gas to enter the mains; in houses, by improper fittings, such as a cistern in direct communication with the drain, or so placed as to be difficult of cleansing, and frequently not ventilated, and other insidious causes.\n\nQuestion 11.\nWhat fittings, and plumber's work generally are required for a high-pressure constant water service? How would you make the connection with the main? Describe the kinds of joints which should be used on the branches?\n\nAnswer: The class of fittings required for the high-pressure constant service are iron tubular services with iron angle or T-pieces, either tinned or galvanised. Where lead must be used the joints should be what is known as plumber's or wiped joints, the taps being those known as the high-pressure screw-down service taps, the connection with the main being by a ferrule; plumber's joints on branches, unless iron unions are used.\n\nQuestion 12.\nThere is great difficulty in obtaining a supply of good water for a country house, and it is therefore necessary to obtain as much water as possible from the roofs, and to use it for drinking and cooking purposes. The total area of area of the roof of the house and offices is 8,000 square feet, and the average annual rainfall is about 40 inches. Calculate what size the storage tank should be, and give a sketch of it and of its appendages?\n\nAnswer: Size of storage tank, 160,000 gallons.\n\nQuestion 13.\nTo what extent does the size of a room affect the quantity of fresh air required for effective ventilation, and what quantity of air would be required per hour for a room containing 8,000 cubic feet, occupied by fifteen people? How would you ventilate such a room? Illustrate your answer by sketches.\n\nAnswer: Douglas Galton in 'Healthy Homes' quotes: \"According to theoretical calculations, it would appear that, with an initial air space of 1,000 cubic feet, occupied by one individual, it would be necessary to supply 3,000 cubic feet per hour, to maintain the room in a proper condition of humidity. As regards other impurities, if 0.6 per 1,000 of CO2 are accepted as the limit of respiratory impurity in a well-ventilated air space, in addition to the 0.4 per 1,000 in normal air, we can calculate out the amount of air necessary for the purpose; and from this calculation it appears that it requires 3,000 cubic feet per hour to preserve the air-space in the required state of freshness. Thus the theoretical calculations, based first upon humidity, and secondly on carbonic acid, bring us to similar conclusions in each case.\"\n\nDe Chaumont in Parkes' 'Practical Hygiene': \"A certain amount of fresh air has to pass through a given space in a fixed time in order to maintain a certain degree of purity; the amount has been fixed at 3,000 cubic feet for each healthy person in an hour. Thus a space of 100 cubic feet must have its air changed thirty times in an hour. If 3,000 feet of air are to be given, while a space of 1,000 cubic feet need only have it changed three times in an hour for an equal ventilation, then our problem being 15 persons in a room of 8,000 cubic feet, would work out thus: - 3,000 x 15 = 45,000 cubic feet of air as requisite. The room being of 8,000 cubic feet capacity would require the air to be changed nearly 5.6 times in an hour.\n\nCOMPETITIONS.\nSANITARY INSTITUTE OF GREAT BRITAIN.\nAt an Examination, held Nov. 11 and 12, 62 Candidates presented themselves as Local Surveyors and 59 as Inspectors of Nuisances.

HONGKONG SANITARY BOARD.\n\nThe Fish Lantern Procession, organised by the Chinese, was one of the most brilliant of its kind ever seen in the Colony. It left Bowrington at eight o'clock last night, and threaded its way through serried crowds until it reached the Public Gardens. It included an excellent lantern group of the Royal Family, after which followed birds and fish of many varieties and colours.\n\n## H.E. THE GOVERNOR'S RECEPTION.\n\nHis Excellency the Governor, by command of His Majesty the King, held a reception at Government House last night, which was attended by an enormous number of residents. The guests passed from Government House into the Public Gardens, where admirable arrangements had been made for their reception.\n\n## THE DELEGATES FROM THE PHILIPPINES.\n\nA meeting of the Sanitary Board was held on June 22nd at the Board Room. Mr. E.D.C. Wolfe presided, and there were present: - Hon. Mr. V. Chatham, C.M.G., (Vice-President), Colonel Bedford, P.M.O., Mr. A. Shelton Hooper, Mr. Cha Pak, Mr. Ng Hon Tsz, Dr. F. Clark (Medical Officer of Health), Dr. J.W. Hartley (Assistant Medical Officer of Health), and Mr. Bowen Rowlands (Secretary).\n\n### ABERDEEN MARKET AND SLAUGHTER-HOUSE.\n\nA minute was submitted by the President relative to the plan of the market and slaughter-house building at Aberdeen. The President stated that the site which the Board approved a month ago had been laid out, and plans had been circulated for the proposed market and slaughter-house. He proposed that the plans be approved.\n\n(June 24, 1911.)\n\nThe PRESIDENT: That is so, and I don't think it right that when persons want to be buried in the Colonial Cemetery they should ask a missionary to baptise them.\n\nMr. HOOPER stated that just after the Ordinance was passed, he had an interview with the Bishop on the subject, and he gathered from his Lordship's observations that he did not approve of anyone who had not been a Christian for some years being baptised until the end of a period of probation. Mr. Hooper thought three months was the time mentioned, but he was not sure. He was quite with the President, and he did not think the relatives of the deceased would wish to take advantage of the law by complying, perhaps technically, and, say five minutes before death, baptising a person to enable him to be buried there, whereas, if he died a week before, he would be buried in a place with his own religious rites. He thought the matter might stand over till next meeting to see if they could adopt any general principle for the guidance of the committee, and they could get what information they could on the subject from those who knew more about it than themselves.\n\nThe committee... Delayed through stress of weather, the steamer Rizal conveying the American Delegates representing the Philippines did not arrive in port until Thursday morning. The vessel was expected on the previous day, and on Wednesday evening His Excellency the Governor had arranged a big dinner party in honour of the visitors. Owing to the delay of the Rizal, however, this had to be cancelled.\n\n## A THORNY POINT.\n\nThe report of the committee relative to the burial of the remains of Mr. Cho Tong Howe in the Colonial Cemetery was submitted. The PRESIDENT stated that before asking members to adopt the report in this case, he would like to point out what actually happened since a certain portion of the Colonial Cemetery was consecrated and a letter sent to members of different missionary societies and churches in Hongkong. This letter pointed out that unless a person was baptised, he could not be buried in the Colonial Cemetery. Since then, a number of people, who in the ordinary course of events would have been buried at Mt. Caroline, had been referred to different missionary societies and had been baptised practically on their death-beds.\n\nThe President, under the authority of the Board, had been delegated to state whether these persons could be buried in the Colonial Cemetery or not. He found the question rather difficult, and after bringing the matter before the Board, it was settled that should the resident not be satisfied that a person was eligible for burial in the Colonial Cemetery, he should refer the matter to the select committee. He had done this, but certain difficulties had arisen in getting the committee to decide what should be done in these cases. Very often the undertaker, or the relative of a person who wished to be buried in the Colonial Cemetery, went to his office at ten o'clock, or later in the morning, and asked permission for interment in the Colonial Cemetery. Arrangements had already been made for the interment to take place that day, and unless proof was forthcoming that the man was a Christian, the interment might have to be postponed.\n\nHon. Mr. Hewett mentioned: - This is a very thorny point, and while not wishing to say anything to hurt anyone's feelings, but it was not until Thursday morning that the steamer Rizal arrived.\n\nColonel BEDFORD said he entirely associated himself with the views enunciated by the President on this point. The matter was referred to the committee.\n\nBrigadier-General J.J. Pershing, Governor of Moro Province, Lieut. Swift, Aide, Hon. C.B. Elliott (Secretary of Commerce and Police) and Mrs. Elliott, Captain Holmes, Aide, Colonel and Mrs. J.I. Chamberlain, Mr. and Mrs. Charles P.C. Derham, Dr. Freer, Director of the Bureau of Science, were among the visitors.\n\nOn the arrival of the steamer yesterday, the visitors were met by Captain Taylor, A.D.C., Captain Simpson, A.D.C. of Major General Anderson, Mr. C.H. Ross, and Mr. N.J. Stabb. A guard of honour, drawn from the K.O.Y.L.I., was drawn up before Blake Pier to receive Brigadier-General Pershing, and as the distinguished visitor and his party landed, the guard came to the salute. After the usual inspection, the Philippine Delegates were convoyed to the residences of their hosts.\n\nBrigadier-General Pershing, the Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Elliott, Captain Holmes, and Mr. Swift are the guests of His Excellency the Governor. Colonel and Mrs. Chamberlain and Captain Locke are quartered with Major General Anderson at Headquarters House; Mr. and Mrs. Derham are the guests of Mr. C.H. Ross; and Dr. Freer is staying with Mr. and Mrs. N.J. Stabb.\n\nH.E. Mr. W. Cameron Forbes, Governor-General of the Philippine Islands, in confirming his telegram giving the personnel of the Delegation coming to Hongkong to represent the Philippine Islands at the Coronation celebrations, wrote to Sir Francis Piggott, the Chairman of the Coronation Celebrations Committee:\n\n**\"I regret very much that owing to the Vice-Governor's absence, it is impossible for me to leave the Philippines at this time, or I would have taken much pleasure in saying that certain missionary societies thought fit in naming a Delegation to represent these Islands in Hongkong at the festivities attending the Coronation and to convey to the British Colony in your city our warmest congratulations and good wishes in connection with that interesting event.\"**\n\n\"You will doubtless have received before this arrives my two cablegrams, in response to the very kind invitation extended in your letter of 31st May. The cordial sentiments which prompted the suggestion of your Committee were much appreciated and, I need hardly add, heartily reciprocated by my fellow countrymen in these islands.\"\n\nMr. JAU CHU Pak: - What does the law say on the subject? Is there any definition of a Christian in law? I don't think the Board can decide.\n\nThe PRESIDENT: - The Ordinance states that a portion of the Cemetery is set apart for Christian burial, and I say that a person should be recognised as a Christian.\n\nMr. Lau CHU Pak: - Should be recognised as a Christian.\n\nMr. HOOPER seconded, and the motion was agreed to.\n\n## THE TIGER REDIVIVUS.\n\nApparently, we have not yet heard the last of the tiger or the wild animal which has been committing depredations in the outlying parts of the Colony and the New Territory. Though nothing has been reported of late concerning the doings of the unwelcome visitor, it now appears that he has been fairly active since he was at Stanley and in the neighbourhood of Shaukiwan. Information now reaches us that a wild animal has been committing extensive depredations among cattle in Lantau Island. He seems to have found his way to Nim Wai, near Silver Bay, and there killed two cattle. From there, he proceeded round the south side of the island, visiting practically every village until he reached Shui Peak, where he killed a couple of bullocks. Thence, he continued round the North side of the island and got to the village next to Tai O police station and killed some cattle. Depredations were also reported from Tung Chung. In all, about 20 cattle have been destroyed on Lantau by this animal.\n\nThe villagers are offering large rewards for the destruction of the animal, some villages offering as much as $50.\n\nSeveral of the police have visited the villages on the island and examined the animals. In many cases, the hind quarters of the beasts had been devoured.\n\nThe animal has not been seen at close quarters, but the traces suggest a tiger or leopard or some quadruped of this species.\n\nPage 433", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-378 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1911 [6-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 433298, "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": "CO129-380 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1911 [9-10]", "page_number": 283, "title": "CO129-380 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1911 [9-10]", "content_text": "# THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1911\n\n## THE KOWLOON-CANTON RAILWAY.\n\n### THROUGH CONNECTION ESTABLISHED. FORMAL OPENING OF THE CHINESE SECTION.\n\nOn the invitation of the Directorate General of the Chinese Imperial Railways, a number of guests from Hongkong and Canton assembled at Samchun yesterday to participate in the opening ceremony of the Chinese Section of the Canton-Kowloon Railway. The occasion was a memorable one, for it marked the connection of Hongkong and Canton by rail, and incidentally saw a material advancement in the scheme which aims at linking East and West with rails of steel.\n\nUnfortunately, His Excellency the Viceroy of Canton and His Excellency the Governor of Hongkong were unable to attend the opening ceremony. But there were many prominent men present, both from the Chinese capital and Hongkong. For a few days prior to the date fixed for the opening of the line, rumours were rife that the revolutionaries intended to make their presence felt at the ceremony, and the visitor yesterday was inclined to place some credence in those rumours when he witnessed a large number of braves assembled in the vicinity where the function was to take place. The station at Samchun, which was festooned with greenery, was also guarded by armed men, who were drawn up a number of paces apart on either side. Along the side of a hillock which overlooked the shed in which the tiffin was held, another guard of soldiers was entrenched, while other braves were posted around the doors of the shed.\n\nThe train from Canton, with its gorgeously decorated engine, was the first to arrive at Samchun, and the arrivals from Canton were on the platform when the train from Hongkong drew up at the station. While greetings were being exchanged between Hongkong and Chinese officials and others, the following were observed to be among the number present: Hon. Mr. W. D. Barnes (Colonial Secretary), Hon. Mr. C. H. Ross, Hon. Mr. H. E. Pollock, Hon. Mr. C. G. Alabaster, Hon. Mr. W. Chatham, C.M.G., His Honour Mr. Justice Gompertz, His Lordship Bishop Lander, Captain F. W. Lyons, Dr. Stedman, Mr. J. W. Jamieson, C.M.G., Mr. C. Clementi, Dr. J. W. Hartley, Messrs. E. D. C. Wolfe, H. W. Looker, A. H. Harris, M. H. Logan, E. S. Kadoorie, W. S. Bailey, S. Moore, Garibaldi, R. M. Dyer, H. Gilman, E. A. Stanton, A. Tigges, R. F. Matheson, A. Ellis, W. S. Brown, and W. E. L. Shenton, His Excellency Li Ching Feng, His Honour Chen Wang Cheng, His Honour C. H.

The Chinese proved admirable hosts and soon had their guests seated. A novel feature of the tiffin, apart from the military atmosphere which surrounded it, was the attendance of a Chinese band which played foreign music with passable success. Sufficient time having been allowed for the repast, the band played a stanza of the British National Anthem, after which the toasts of the day were proposed and responded to.\n\nH.E. LI CHING FENG, Commissioner of Foreign Affairs, in proposing \"Success to the Canton-Kowloon Railway,\" said: - I and my official colleague, the Taotai of Industry and Commerce, have had the honour to be deputed by His Excellency the Viceroy of the Two Kwongs to represent him here to-day upon this auspicious occasion (His Excellency being prevented by other pressing official matters from attending in person). The connection and opening of the whole line of this, the Canton-Kowloon Railway, to-day, is an event which may be regarded as of extreme importance, establishing as it does a new facility of travel and transportation between the two friendly countries concerned. It is our fervent hope that this day will mark a new phase in the period of the commercial relations between our countrymen and their British friends, and that the advent of this railway will prove to be another link in the binding chain of friendship which has so long existed and tended to promote the welfare of our respective peoples and encourage the expansion of their trade. (Applause.) Our official and commercial circles alike are indebted to those gentlemen on both sections of the line who have so ably supervised the construction of this railway, and we should take this opportunity of expressing to them our hearty congratulation and thanks for the praiseworthy manner in which they have discharged their multifarious duties. May the life of this line henceforth be one of undisturbed harmony, and may the line itself tend, as is its object, to facilitate and expand the commercial and industrial relations at both its ends; and with that wish and in the name of His Excellency Tsang Ming Ki, Viceroy of the Kwongs, we have much pleasure in declaring this Railway connected and opened to public traffic this 13th day of the 8th moon in the 3rd year of Hsuan Tung, being the 4th day of October in the year one thousand nine hundred and eleven.

During the years 1919 to 1921 the value of the Hongkong dollar has varied between 2s. 4d. and 3s. 3d., with violent rises and falls. It will be seen, therefore, that a sterling salary when expressed in dollars will vary within very wide limits, while the purchasing power of the dollar remains practically unaltered. The Colonial Government and some of those firms whose European Staffs are paid on a sterling basis have adopted special exchange rates to obviate the hardships which would otherwise result from these fluctuations in the value of the dollar. The salaries paid by the Government to the following classes of officers may be taken as an index of the general rates of pay for Europeans obtaining in Hongkong:-\n\n \n Cadet Officers\n £400-£1,200\n \n \n Crown Solicitor\n £1,000-£1,200\n \n \n Assistant Crown Solicitor\n £600-£800\n \n \n Chief Clerk, Colonial Secretariat\n £600-£800\n \n \n First Clerk, Colonial Secretariat\n £400-£600\n \n \n Medical Officers\n £600-£1,000\n \n \n Nursing Sisters\n £170-£225\n \n \n Senior Masters, Education Department\n £750-£850\n \n \n Masters, Education Department\n £100-£750\n \n \n Assistant Mistresses, Education Department\n £300-£400\n \n \n Engineers, Public Works Department\n £460-£950\n \n \n Senior Overseers, Public Works Department\n £400-£480\n \n \n Overseers, Public Works Department\n £260-£360\n \n \n Senior Sanitary Inspectors\n £400-£480\n \n \n Sanitary Inspectors\n £220-£360\n \n \n Revenue Officers\n £220-£360\n \n \n Chief Police Inspector and Chief Detective\n £500-£600\n \n \n Police Inspectors\n £400-£450\n \n \n Police Sub-Inspectors\n £320-£360\n \n \n Police Sergeants\n £220-£300\n \n \n Police Constables\n £160-£200\n \n\nThe cost of hotel accommodation for a single person varies from $145 to $250 per month, not inclusive of drinks, electric fans, and fires. The rates for a married couple would be from $240 to $400.\n\nBoarding house accommodation for a single person may be put at $125 to $200 a month; for married couples, perhaps $200 to $350.\n\nIf a private servant be not kept, tips to the house servants would have to be added to the above.\n\nWages of native servants vary from $12 to $30 per month. A married couple of limited means, with no family, would probably be able to manage with servants whose wages would total not more than $40 to $60 a month. For people in better circumstances, and for larger families, the wages bill might amount to anything from $80 to $150 a month.\n\nAs a rough general estimate, the all-round expenditure of a senior Government Officer or senior Member of a large European firm, with a family of three or four persons, might be put at from $800 to $1,000 a month; of a junior, also with family, at $450 to $650: and of a European of the artisan class, with family, $250 to $350 according to size of family, habits, etc. In all these estimates, it is assumed that free quarters or rent allowances are provided.\n\nThe following are the present (1921) prices of some of the usual articles of consumption:\n\n \n (a) Locally raised:\n \n \n \n Beef\n 18 to 38 cents per lb.\n \n \n Mutton\n 25 to 42 cents per lb.\n \n \n Pork\n 15 to ... cents per lb.\n \n \n Chicken\n 35 to 60 cents each\n \n \n Capon\n 55 to 70 cents each\n \n \n Duck\n 32 to 55 cents each\n \n \n Turkey\n 40 cents each\n \n \n Pigeon\n 22 to 25 cents each\n \n \n Snipe\n ...\n \n \n Quail\n 18 to 20 cents each\n \n \n Partridge\n 15 to ... cents each\n \n \n Pheasant\n 14 to ... cents each\n \n \n Fish:\n \n \n \n Carp\n $1.25 to $1.75 each\n \n \n Cod fish\n about 24 cents per lb.\n \n \n Mullet\n 20 to 31 cents per lb.\n \n \n Oysters\n ...\n \n \n Perch\n 23 to 51 cents per lb.\n \n \n Pike\n 32 to ... cents per lb.\n \n \n Plaice\n 39 to ... cents per lb.\n \n \n Turbot\n 24 to 35 cents per lb.\n \n \n Crabs\n ...\n \n \n Lobsters\n 71 to ... cents per lb.\n \n \n Mackerel\n 20 to 32 cents per lb.\n \n \n Prawns\n 40 to ... cents per lb.\n \n \n Salmon\n 30 to 40 cents per lb.\n \n \n Shrimps\n 20 to 36 cents per lb.\n \n \n Soles\n 22 to 28 cents per lb.\n \n\nPage 30\n\nPage 31\n\n \n Fruit:\n \n \n \n Almonds\n about 45 cents per lb.\n \n \n Apples\n 32 to ... cents per lb.\n \n \n Bananas\n ...\n \n \n Carambola\n 4 to ... cents per lb.\n \n \n Pears\n 12 to 11 cents per lb.\n \n \n Persimmons\n 10 to ... cents per lb.\n \n \n Grapes\n ...\n \n \n Oranges\n 30 to 15 cents per lb.\n \n \n Vegetables:\n \n \n \n Long Beans\n about 12 cents per lb.\n \n \n Cabbage\n ...\n \n \n Carrots\n 20 to ... cents per lb.\n \n \n Lettuce\n 11 to 8 cents per lb.\n \n \n Mushrooms\n ...\n \n \n Onions\n 8 to 10 cents per lb.\n \n \n Parsley\n ...\n \n \n Potatoes\n 14 to ... cents per lb.\n \n \n Pumpkin\n ...\n \n \n Radish\n 5 to ... cents per lb.\n \n \n Spinach\n ...\n \n \n Tomatoes\n 18 to 21 cents per lb.\n \n \n Beet root\n 3 cents each\n \n \n Cucumbers\n 15 to ... cents per lb.\n \n \n Cauliflower\n 15 to ... cents per lb.\n \n\nThe pension rights and security of Government service and, on the other hand, the greater scope for individual enterprise in private employment are, of course, factors which must be taken into account in any comparison of rates of remuneration.\n\nACCOMMODATION AND COST OF LIVING.\n\nHouse rents in Hongkong are very high. For this reason, the Government and many of the large European firms either provide free quarters for their European employees or grant rent allowances in addition to salaries.

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.

Britain's trade is still going well ahead and figures issued by the Board of Trade to-day show exports last month amounted to £60,000,000, a rise of £2,000,000, compared with the longer month of January.\n\nOur adverse balance—the difference between imports and exports of goods—dropped to the lowest figure for a great number of years £15,683,989.\n\nFebruary's increase was chiefly due to the rise by £3,900,000 pounds for manufactured goods, which accounted for £1,200,000—such as woollens and worsteds—clothes which went up by £800,000. These, however, were partly offset by the fall in export of food and tobacco. — Reuter.\n\n## THE MONEY MARKET \nThe Chinese dollar remained weak yesterday at about $23.875 to NC$10,000.\n\nPure gold was sold at about $400 per tael.\n\nThe pound sterling had buyers at $16.90 and sellers at $117.20; the Australian pound buyers at $12.45 and sellers at $12.65; and the United States dollar buyers at $4.50 and sellers at $1.70.\n\n### Unclaimed Cables \nComplete up-to-date lists of unclaimed telegrams are posted daily at the Telegram Acceptance Counter, and at 9.30 a.m. in the General Post Office, Cable and Wireless Office.\n\nExamples:\n2052/16 Mar.

We have never felt inclined to take a very serious view about the activities of this Party here, but it may be useful to you to have the following information about them on record.\n\n2.\n\nThe Reform Group of the Democratic Socialist Party, who split away from the main body of the Party led by Carson Chang on the question of co-operating with the K.M.T. Government, set up their office here in Hong Kong towards the end of 1947. The most active member of the Party in Hong Kong is Major George Suh Pho-tian (蘇沛霆), but the Chairman of the Party is Wu Hsien Tze (伍...). Their main activities in Hong Kong seem to consist in blackening the face of the other branch of the Party headed by Carson Chang. Apart from that they talk a remarkable amount of well-intentioned hot air about democracy and socialism, taking the line that they would like to model themselves and their policies on the Labour Party in the United Kingdom. As regards China their policies seem to be entirely out of touch with reality.\n\n3. The central committee of the Reform Group of the Democratic Socialist Party held a meeting of the Hong Kong and Macao branch on the 4th January, 1948, in Hong Kong, at which Wu Hsien Tze presided. According to Sun Mo-tang it appears that at this meeting the Party decided to endeavour to work in co-operation with right-wing thinkers of the China Democratic League who remained in Shanghai, in order to establish a strong Third Party to check the rapid expansion of the Communist movement. He added that they did not see eye to eye with the Revolutionary Committee of the K.M.T. under Marshal Li Chai-sum on the point of American assistance to China, which the Democratic Socialist Party favours.\n\nAfter that meeting little was heard of the Democratic Socialist Party for some months, until April, when an article in one of the more moderate Chinese newspapers in Hong Kong, the Kung Sheung Evening News, gave an account of the tendency of the Party to split into even smaller factions or cliques. This article, which appears to be fairly accurate, claimed that roughly speaking the members of the Group, who were united only in the matter of boycotting Carson Chang, could be divided into the following two categories:\n\na) One Group supporting the policy of forming an alliance with the China Democratic League. This Group is headed by Chang Tung-shun (張東...), who is actually a member in his private capacity of the C.D.L.\n\nb) A second category...\n\n| Category | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| a | One Group supporting the policy of forming an alliance with the China Democratic League.

No holds the view that a large number of K.M.T. members are dissatisfied with Chiang Kai-shek's leadership and that they would be ready to join in a movement to oust him and replace the present Government by another more in line with modern (western) democratic notions. Corroborated by many K.M.T. members, and since his arrival in Hong Kong last autumn, he has paid several visits to Canton where he has been in touch with K.M.T. members there.\n\n## \n\nc) The third category is represented by the party's Chairman, Wu \nBrien Tro. According to the Kung Shang Yat Po, when he escaped to Hong Kong from Shanghai in the autumn of last year, he expected to enjoy long quiet days sans attention, but he now seems to have been disappointed by the lack of interest shown in him in China, both by Chinese and foreigners. Wu is in his late seventies, and was anti-war Lord during the early period of his political career. Generally, he is conservative, and thoroughly old-fashioned and out-of-date in his ideas. The political \"Weekly Review\" of which he was the editor fails to have made much impact in Hong Kong.\n\n## \n\nOn June 10th the latest Lai Kai newspaper, the Hsiang Tao, published the full text of a statement (by the Reform Group) of the Democratic Socialist Party on the subject of the new political Consultative Council which had been proposed by the Chinese Communist party in Canton.\n\nThe statement echoed the Communist's own Declaration, suggestion in general principle, but led to a mix of criticisms.\n\nDesigned to explain the basis of the proposed Council and to define and underline the limits within which the Communists should leave in it.\n\nIt declared above they are carrying on close (or co-operation) with the Communists. It added that during the same period the Hsiang Tao published a series of statements on the same subject by various other anti-Kuomintang political parties in Hong Kong including the C.C. Clique and the K.M.T. Revolutionary Committee. The latest move is that Wu Hsien Tso and Sun Kao-kang intend to visit London. Since they cannot get Chiang Kai-shek's party the U.K. Colonial Government in Hong Kong has agreed to give them two visas valid for six months' visit to the U.K...... provided they can be sure of readmittance to Hong Kong at the end of that time. We have given the U.K. Consul-General the necessary assurance.\n\nIn conclusion, therefore, I must express my opinion that the Reform Group of the Democratic Socialist Party is really nothing very substantial, and I cannot believe that it has any great following. Although its aims and intentions appear entirely laudable, I have not seen Yu Tsien Too frequently, and he is extremely garrulous and unconvincing. Wu Hsien Tso I have not met, and I found his writings very much an old world Chinese, completely out of touch with reality.\n\nYours sincerely,\n\nC. B. B. HEATHCOTE-SMITH\n(C.R.O.

An interim grant of £5,000 was made as Scheme No.D.1243, to enable preliminary work to proceed, and a further grant of £48,883 was made in February 1950 as Scheme No.D.1243A (See memorandum C.D.W.(D) No.1934). As a result of various economies made in the arrangements for borings, which were to be carried out under Scheme No.D.1243, a sum of only £31.5.0d. was incurred and was charged to Colony Works votes. No expenditure has in fact been charged to Scheme No.D.1243 which is accordingly being cancelled.\n\n2.\n\nThe Governor has sought approval for the use of the amount of £5,000 towards the maintenance of a survey party. It is necessary to survey approach roads to the Tai O pier to be constructed under Scheme No.D.1243A, and the other piers which Hong Kong is proposing to construct from local funds as its part of the general scheme for improving pier facilities in the New Territories. It is expected that the construction of piers at Silver Mine Bay (already constructed), and the other places selected, will lead to increased building activity in these areas. For this reason, it is considered advisable to undertake some simple village planning to avoid the waterfront congestion which may easily result. This planning would take into account water supply and drainage problems; the personnel employed would prepare rural development schemes at each site recommended by the local Colonial Development and Welfare Committee, and supervise works. Survey staff would be engaged locally on the terms appropriate to temporary employment for a period of two years.\n\n3.\n\nThe Colonial Building Liaison Officer has been consulted, and he considers that the proposals are logical and that the survey should produce useful results.\n\n4.\n\nIt is accordingly intended to maintain for a period of between 18 months and 2 years a survey party to investigate the improvement of communications, village planning, minor water supplies, and related problems, and it is proposed to make a grant of £5,500 for this purpose. Estimated annual expenditure is as follows:\n\n \n One Assistant Engineer\n $10,560 p.a.\n \n \n One Assistant Surveyor\n $6,000 p.a.\n \n \n One Chainman\n $1,344 p.a.\n \n \n Four Survey Coolies\n $4,320 p.a.\n \n \n Total\n $22,224 p.a.\n \n \n The Cost of living, subsistence, and travelling allowances\n $22,110 p.a.\n \n \n Total\n $44,334 p.a.

Scheme D. 1243.\n\nFurther to my telegram 473 and your savingram 104 of [date not specified], regarding Piers in the New Territories,\n\nThe interim grant of £5,000 was to enable borings to be made, but as a result of various economies made in the arrangements for the borings, the total cost to the Public Works Department (which will be handling the Scheme) was only H.K. $50,000. This was charged to 1949/50 works votes, part of ...\n\nI now therefore seek permission to use this £5,000 in a different way closely connected with the Scheme in hand.\n\nA certain amount of work is required in connection with surveying approach roads to the Tai O pier and the other piers which this Government is proposing to finance as its part of the general scheme for improving pier facilities in the New Territories, as mentioned in paragraph (d) of the memorandum accompanying my despatch 129 of 4th December 1950. It is also expected that the construction of piers at Silver Mine Bay (already constructed) and the other places selected under the scheme will lead to increased building activity in these areas. For this reason, it is considered advisable to undertake some simple village planning in order to avoid the waterfront congestion which may easily result and of which Cheung Chau, as it is at present, is a significant example. This planning would take into account water supply and drainage problems; the personnel employed would prepare rural development schemes at each site recommended by the local Colonial Development and Welfare Committee and supervise works.\n\nI propose therefore to maintain, for a period of between 18 months and 2 years, a survey party to investigate the improvement of communications, village planning, minor water supplies, and related problems, for the benefit of the rural population in the Colony's outlying districts and islands.\n\nThe cost of this team would be:\n\nOne Assistant Engineer $10,560\n\nOne Assistant Surveyor $6,000\n\nOne Chairman $1,344\n\nFour Survey Coolies $4,320\n\nTotal $22,224 per annum\n\nCost of living, Subsistence, and travelling allowances – allow $2,110\n\nTotal $24,334\n\nI seek early approval of this so that action may be taken to engage the necessary personnel, all of whom will be available locally.\n\nG JUN 1951", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-626-11 Construction of piers and maintenance of survey party 1-4-1951 - 30-9-1951.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 598506, "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": "CO129-626-11 Construction of piers and maintenance of survey party 1-4-1951 - 30-9-1951", "page_number": 30, "title": "CO129-626-11 Construction of piers and maintenance of survey party 1-4-1951 - 30-9-1951", "content_text": "INWARD TELEGRAM\n\nTO THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES.\n\nEn clair\n\n195:\n\nFROM HONG KONG (Sir A.
