Consul; R.B. FORBES, Esq., U.S. Consul; and the other Foreign Consuls, Canton.\n\nGENTLEMEN,—At a Public Meeting held yesterday for the purpose of devising the best means of procuring specimens of the Produce and Manufactures of China, to be sent to the Exhibition of all Nations, to be held in London in 1851, a Committee of the following Gentlemen, the Honble Mr Edger, Mr Bush, U.S. Consul, Mr Stuart, and Mr Campbell, were appointed to do all that to them appeared necessary to further the objects for which the Meeting was held.\n\nThe Rules laid down by the Committee in London, require that a Central Authority in each country should be constituted by the Government of that country. As regards China, therefore, the Government of Peking would require to be applied to. This, however, would not in all probability lead to any satisfactory result, as the object would not be understood, and an application might even tend in some measure to defeat the efforts that may have to be made to obtain the specimens required.\n\nIt seemed therefore advisable to the Meeting, that a Central Committee should be appointed in this place, in order to conform as near as possible to the rules laid down in England, that that Committee should advise with the Committees which will be necessary to form in Canton and Shanghai, should correspond if necessary with the proper parties in London, and receive and forward from this, the articles that may be collected.\n\nWith that view the present Committee has been constituted, to be a connecting link and central point, and to assist as far as they are able in promoting the general object.\n\nIt is one in which nearly all nations are interested, and which they are expected to promote; it is one therefore, it is to be hoped, that will engage the attention of all in China, in which all will unite to carry out with energy, and if with combined effort, it will no doubt be effected in a manner worthy of the Foreign Community.\n\nWe cannot expect that articles will be forwarded by Chinese; we must therefore do so for them.\n\nPurchasers must be made and Committees will require to be appointed to make proper and suitable collections.\n\nThe Committee intend inviting parties here to put down in Paper the amounts they will guarantee towards the funds that may be needed; and should, after the sale of the articles in London, any loss occur, which is not likely, it will be divided proportionally to each, according to the amounts put down.\n\nThe Committee would recommend the same course to be followed at Canton, and the Manager of the Oriental Bank has kindly and liberally offered to advance the amount that may be thus guaranteed.\n\nAs the time now remaining for carrying out the objects we have in view, is very limited, you will no doubt agree with this Committee, that the measures that may be necessary should be adopted without delay; and although the aid and interference of Governments are purposely dispensed with, we would still hope that you will not object among your respective Countrymen, to assist in organising a plan with which all will be willing and anxious to co-operate.\n\nTrusting that the importance of the object we have in view will be a sufficient apology for addressing you on this occasion,—We have the honour to remain, Gentlemen, your obedient servants,\n\nFor the Committee,\n\nA. CAMPBELL.\n\nBRITISH CONSULATE, CANTON, 27th June, 1850.\n\nGENTLEMEN,—I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your favour of the 25th instant, and am much gratified to find that the Exhibition of the Industry of all Nations has excited so much interest.\n\nI imagine the official communications which have been made to Hongkong are from the Colonial Department.\n\nOur instructions have been received from the Foreign Office, through Her Majesty's Plenipotentiary, who has already, in conformity with those instructions, communicated with the Imperial Commissioner, as I have done with the local authorities, and with such other influential Chinese as are likely to assist in advancing our common objects.\n\nIn conformity with the directions I received to take such measures as I deemed most advisable for interesting both the British and the Foreign community, I requested all the Foreign authorities and Consuls with the leading merchants present in Canton, to assemble at the British Consulate on the 25th instant. The call met a universal and most cordial response. A large and influential Committee was immediately formed—various Sub-Committees were charged with the management of the details. I have reason to believe that the appeal for pecuniary co-operation will be liberally and even munificently met; and among the Sub-Committees is a Committee of Correspondence charged with the duty of communicating with the Committees of Hongkong, Shanghai, and any other localities with which it may be desirable to hold intercourse. I have the honour to enclose a copy of the proceedings for your information; and as your own views may be somewhat modified by what has taken place here, I am quite sure that your aid and co-operation will be highly valued.\n\nMr Forbes, who has most cordially lent his very valuable assistance, is now at Macao. The French, Dutch, Prussian, Peruvian, and Chilian Consuls are on the Committee, as is Dr Parker, the United States' Chargé d'Affaires. We cannot as yet say what amount of assistance we may derive from the Chinese, but we do not despair of some success among them, and have taken the necessary steps for that object.\n\nIn countries so remote as this, the mode of action cannot be strictly limited to the rules applied by our Government where Diplomatic relations are free and unrestrained, and where the disposition to co-operate is strikingly and so encouragingly manifested.\n\nI venture to anticipate that we shall be able to forward no unworthy contribution to the Exhibition, and I am sure that every favourable interpretation and every reasonable facility will await our combined exertions.\n\nI do not delay a post (not as the Chairman of the Canton Committee, but in my Consular capacity) in replying to your letter; and I can assure you that I shall be delighted to do every thing in my power in furtherance of a purpose nobly and generously conceived, and which ought to be carried out in the same spirit. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your most obedient humble servant,\n\nJOHN BOWRING.\n\nA. CAMPBELL, Esq.,\n\nand the Committee at Hongkong.\n\nH.B.M. Consul\n\nCANTON, 7th June, 1850.\n\nSIR,—Your letter, dated 25th instant, addressed to Dr Bowring and all the foreign Consuls here, on behalf of the Committee formed at Hongkong for assisting the views of H.B.M.'s Commission for the Exhibition of the Works of Industry of all Nations to be held in London in 1851, has been communicated to us, and the letter which Dr Bowring proposes to write to you in reply will inform you how warm has been the interest exhibited here on the same subject at a Meeting held at the British Consulate on the 25th inst., when a Committee of Canton residents was formed and plans organised for the better carrying into effect the views of the meeting.\n\nWe would beg to refer to Dr Bowring's reply in which we fully concur, and hope an active and friendly co-operation of the Hongkong and Canton Committees, along with other Committees formed in other parts of China, will tend to offer interesting and complete contributions towards the realization of the grand plan in view.—We are, Sir, your most obedient servants,\n\nROBERT S.

The chief mate, second mate and crew had meanwhile taken refuge in the rigging and remained there for about two and a half hours, and it seems to have been determined that his life should be forfeit. He either fell or threw himself upon deck among the Coolies, killing one and disabling another in his descent. He was immediately despatched and his body thrown overboard as the bodies of the other victims had been previously thrown. The Second mate and crew appear to have made no resistance but to have submitted quietly to a superior force, brought the vessel back to China in obedience to the orders of the Coolies, who from the time of the death of the Captain had the entire possession and control of the vessel, directing her course and plundering the cargo and stores found on board.\n\nMost of the Coolies deserted the ship when she made the coast of China, some miles to the Northward of this fort; the remainder, forty-five in number, were brought into this harbour under the impression, induced by the second mate, that they were being conveyed to Macao or Canton, as they had been unable to leave with the rest. The ship arrived here on the 27th September. Having shown a signal of distress, she was immediately visited by the police, and the Coolies were, as I am informed, at once conveyed to the police station, it being considered dangerous to allow them to remain on board during the night. On the prisoners being asked for their defence, one of them, No Ahokey, frankly admitted that he assisted to murder the Captain, but added that he was no worse than the rest, for that\n\nPage 90\n\nPage 91", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-034 - Sir Bonham - 1850 [9-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 231001, "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": "CO129-035 - Public Offices - 1850", "page_number": 45, "title": "CO129-035 - Public Offices - 1850", "content_text": "Admiralty\n\nCopy\n\nTo M.

The Ambassador, Tung Adrick, was formerly an interpreter in Hongkong, and having turned over a new leaf in California, is now \"Tung Achick,\" a merchant residing about 75 miles from the confluence of the Hengshan and Tongkoon rivers.\n\n...\n\nhave taken all the means we could to put a stop to it for the future. We sent your message over by the first ships which left our port, and wrote letters to all of our friends who were men of influence, advising them to tell the Chinese to stay at home. After these letters reach there, we believe no Chinese will come over except traders. About three months from this date the present immigration of labourers will cease, and not begin again until they hear that they are wanted once more. Besides the measures that we have adopted, some Chinese, who had just arrived in the **Brazileira**, **Lightning**, **North Carolina**, and other ships, and who were driven by the land sharks to enter the mines almost as soon as they got there, were dispersed, and as they got any pay already in China, the responsible men, we have done so; as our labourers have been treated.

The Americans do not expect to come to a country that is a wilderness, but are eager to leave their homes and bring their wives and children because they have heard of the good things to buy with their gold, and we believe it is easy to prove that the Chinese have brought into this country as many desirable things in return for the gold they have carried away as any other people.\n\n...\n\nAt last, when about a week had passed, we received a letter from a fellow countryman, telling us that our letter was pleasing to the authorities, and that they were grateful for our address.\n\n...\n\nEleven of the coolies have been committed for trial, and the investigations will most probably, as in every case of a similar nature hitherto brought before the public, elicit facts showing that shortness of water was not the only grievance the coolies had to complain of.\n\n...\n\n## AMOY NEWS.\n\n...\n\nThe Taepeng troops shall not be allowed to plunder the merchants and people, nor to debauch the females, nor to commit any excess whatever at the places through which they pass. And if any disobey my orders, they shall be dealt with according to Martial Law, and immediately executed, with the strictest impartiality.\n\n...\n\n## THE CHINESE IN CALIFORNIA.\n\nAs we learn from the **Alta California** of 19th March that fresh attempts were being made by the partizans of the \"Biglerian policy\" to exclude foreigners in general, but especially Chinese, from the mines; and that even in the Assembly the most violent philippics had been belched forth by a Mr McMeans against those whom he chose to call \"Asiatic barbarians,\" we take the opportunity of publishing a Second Epistle from the Chinese in California addressed to Governor Bigler, and which, if it ever appeared in the **San Francisco** papers, escaped our notice.\n\n...\n\nYour Excellency before, he does not drink, or gamble, or idle, or spend his money foolishly. Because he is thinking of his parents and his children, and the future, and works hard and saves what he earns.\n\n...\n\nThe Chinese merchants are sane in this respect; they have built and rented these houses, and appointed agents and managers to each. Great losses, we do not know how to describe this, as we have before told your Excellency, we have reason to fear that many other places we have not yet heard from.\n\n...\n\nWe believe that we have now made this letter long enough, and we will close it by repeating our most earnest prayer that you will do something to protect our people from the wretchedness that endures them.\n\n...\n\n## COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.\n\n## CANTON MARKET.\n\n(June 4, 1853.)\n\n## IMPORTS.

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.

The task is to proofread this text, correcting spelling errors, fixing spacing issues, rejoining broken sentences, and restoring paragraph breaks, all while preserving the original content and format as much as possible.\n\n## Step 2\nFirst, we need to identify and correct spelling errors. For example, \"Wongkong\" should be \"Hongkong\", \"sh. 1000j€rawa\" should be \"sh. 1000\", and \"Brit. bk 670 Dod\" should be \"Brit. bk 670 Dod\" (no change needed here, but \"Brit.\" is an abbreviation for \"British\" which is correct). \"Dut. 764 ric\" should be \"Dut. 764\", and \"Earl of Windeer\" should be \"Earl of Windsor\".\n\n## Step 3\nNext, we need to fix spacing issues. For instance, \"XCR (85)72\" should be \"XCR(85)72\", and \"GR 1178/1922/32 (III)\" should be \"GR1178/1922/32(III)\".\n\n## Step 4\nWe also need to rejoin broken sentences. The text contains many lines that are split due to OCR layout errors. For example, sentences that are broken across lines without a logical reason should be merged.\n\n## Step 5\nRestoring paragraph breaks is another crucial step. The OCR output may have incorrectly merged or split paragraphs. We need to format the text into proper paragraphs based on the content and logical breaks.\n\n## Step 6\nIndicate missing words with \"...\" if a word is clearly missing due to OCR damage.\n\n## Step 7\nThe text should be formatted in standard Markdown. This includes using headers (#, ##, ###), sub-headers, bold-type (**bold**), and tables using Markdown table syntax.\n\n## Step 8\nSince the text is a mix of different documents, including newspaper articles and court transcripts, we need to be careful not to rephrase or rewrite the content. The task is to correct errors and improve formatting without changing the style, tone, or word choice.\n\n## Step 9\nNo translation of text is required, and file references should not have any spacing inside parentheses.\n\n## Step 10\nPage numbering lines, if detected (usually six lines in total, three at the page beginning and three at the end), should be kept as they are, as they were originally used during scanning to delineate page metadata.\n\n## Step 11\nThe output should be in HTML using for paragraphs and \n only if absolutely necessary.\n\nThe final answer is: \n\n324\n\n25\n\n[NO. 6.

Que la introducción de colonos asiáticos, á más de no convenir al país por ser una raza degradada, va degenerando en una especie de trato de negros, que no puede continuar sin ultraje de la humanidad, ni violación de los principios de libertad é igualdad proclamados por el Gobierno. \n\n2o. Que las contratas celebradas son refractarias del art. 1635 del Código Civil, puesto que sin invertirse en provecho de los colonos, sino de la empresa, la crecida cantidad que el patrón desembolsa, se comprometen á prestar sus servicios por largo y determinado tiempo en favor de patrones con quienes no contratan y cuya servidumbre les es vedado variar; \n\n3o. Que el excesivo número de hombres embarcados en buques menores, y la escasez y mala calidad de alimentos han ocasionado la muerte por lo menos de una tercera parte de los colonos; y la llegada al puerto de los restantes con peligrosas enfermedades; \n\n4o. Que algunas veces el rigor empleado en los buques, como un medio consiguiente al engaño y á la violencia con que se hacen estas criminales especulaciones, ha ocasionado repetidas catástrofes que es necesario evitar; \n\n5o. Que el Gobierno no debe autorizar un abuso tan repugnante como ofensivo á la moral y al derecho, de que solo reportan utilidad los empresarios del tráfico. \n\nSe resuelve \n\nArt. 1o.-A los cuatro meses de la fecha, queda prohibida la introducción de colonos asiáticos por medio de contratas y en el modo cruel y violento con que se ha hecho hasta hoy. \n\n2o.-Los Capitanes y contramaestres de buques que traigan chinos, acreditarán en los puertos de la República haberlos admitido abordo por su espontánea voluntad, y en el caso de que resulten arrancados por fuerza ó engaño y trasladados en número para el que no sea capaz el buque, serán sometidos a juicio por este delito y pagarán los daños y perjuicios que causaren. \n\n3o.-Los asiáticos que en adelante ingresaren al territorio de la República podrán ejercer libremente su industria ó tomar servicio con algún patrón conforme á las leyes vigentes; y se cumplirán únicamente las escrituras de compromiso celebradas en favor de personas determinadas, siendo ellos responsables tan solo por las anticipaciones de salario que por sí mismos hayan recibido. \n\nComuníquese y publíquese.-Lima, á 5 de Marzo de 1856-Rúbrica de S.E.-MAR. \n\n(Peruano, No. 16, Tomo 30.) \n\n### No. 2.-EXMO. SOR.- \n\nParcemón de Echandia, vecino de esta ciudad, ante V.E. respetuosamente me presento y digo: que me es de absoluta necesidad saber si, por lo resuelto en el Supremo Decreto de 5 de Marzo de 1856, no puede uno ser apoderado de otros, suponiendo que tenga la capacidad legal, para ir á China y contratar á nombre de estos los sirvientes que necesiten; y en consecuencia, traerlos al Perú, guardando en cuanto á la conducción el inciso 2o. y considerando 3o. del citado decreto; no quedando obligados los domésticos que voluntariamente se contrataren sino á prestar los servicios necesarios para pagar con ellos los adelantos que hubieren recibido, contándose en estos el pasaje, alimentación y vestido. \n\nHe creído oportuno ocurrir á V.E. antes de aceptar un encargo cuyo desempeño pudiera maliciosamente traducirse como una infracción del consultado decreto: no obstante, que no tengo noticia de que haya prohibición que racionalmente pueda impedir el desempeñar una comisión que no envuelve mira comercial alguna, sino únicamente la de conseguir con la comodidad y seguridad apetecibles, los domésticos que mis poderdantes necesitan; quedando los colonos, como antes he dicho, en amplia libertad para mudar de patrón, tan luego como hubiesen recibido los adelantos recibidos. \n\nEn consecuencia-A.V.E. pido se sirva resolver si es libre cualquier ciudadano para ir á China y contratar, á nombre de sus poderdantes domésticos que voluntariamente quieran constituirse en esta condición, y traerlos al Perú, guardando en su conducción el inciso 2o. y considerando 3o. del Supremo Decreto de 5 de Marzo de 1856. \n\nLima, á 15 de Setiembre de 1853. \n\nPARCEMÓN DE ECHANDIA. \n\nVista al Sr. FISCAL de la Corte Superior de Justicia.-MAR. \n\nEXMO. SOR.-El Fiscal dice: que declarar V.E. que un apoderado puede ir á la China á contratar colonos para sus poderdantes, sería proceder contra lo expresamente dispuesto en la parte resolutiva y considerativa del Supremo Decreto de 5 de Marzo del presente año; que los colonos vengan siquiera, y que desembarcados adopten la industria que les plazca, es el espíritu y la letra del decreto; pero que el apoderado los contrate en China para patrón que no conocen, es quitarles la libertad de que habla el Art. 2o. del decreto; es autorizar el desorden y los males que quiso evitar dicho decreto y es querer, en fin, que V.E. sea contradictorio en sus mejores disposiciones. \n\nEl Fiscal es pues de opinión, que V.E. declare sin lugar esta solicitud; teniendo entendido, que en el Perú, según el decreto citado, no se permite la introducción de chinos de otro modo, que como pueden ingresar á sus puertos cualesquiera otros extranjeros de libre y espontánea voluntad, y solamente con contratos directos ó personales. Sin embargo, V.E. resolverá lo que estime más conveniente. \n\nLima, Octubre 3 de 1856.—VILLARÁN. \n\nLima, á 13 de Octubre de 1856. \n\nPor las razones que expone el Fiscal de la Corte Superior; y estando terminantemente prohibida, por el Art. 1o. del Decreto de 5 de Marzo último, la introducción de colonos asiáticos por medio de contratas; se declara, que solo podrán ingresar en la República los asiáticos que vengan por su espontánea voluntad.

Your Committee have also allowed themselves as wide a range as possible in their method of inquiry. They advertised in the local papers the publicity of their proceedings, and invited and made use of suggestions from all sources as to the witnesses to be examined and the questions to be put to them. They permitted themselves great latitude in the kind of evidence which they admitted, and only struck out as inadmissible one question and its answer, and part of the answer to another question. They omitted to call only one witness suggested to them, as his evidence would not have referred to the matter under enquiry; and every person invited to give their information did so, with the exception of Mr Hoey. His evidence would have been important, but he refused to attend, whence they conclude that he dared not deny before them having made these defamatory statements (though he has elsewhere denied having made them) which gave rise to the present inquiry.\n\nYour Committee have now to report as the result of their proceedings, as follows:\n\n1st. It appears that the tender of the present Monopolist (Chun Tai-kwong), and those of two other persons, were not received by the Acting Colonial Secretary until the 14th March, the day after the last day for tendering; that Chan Tai-kwong's tender was the highest, and the reason given for the lateness of his tender being satisfactory to His Excellency, that it was accepted by him, with a full knowledge of the facts, on the 15th March; that two days after this, on the 17th March, the Opium Monopoly Ordinance passed the Legislative Council, on which day various changes highly favorable to the Monopolist, and suggested by him or his partners to the Acting Colonial Secretary, were introduced into the Ordinance on the Acting Colonial Secretary's motion, but that this was done with the most perfect openness the Members of the Legislative Council being fully informed by Dr Bridges of his reasons for proposing the alterations. It does not appear that any undue influence was used in obtaining the grant for the present Monopolist; or that any corrupt motive existed for making these changes in the Ordinance; and there is not the slightest ground for believing that anything in the nature of a douceur was offered to, demanded by, or accepted by, Dr Bridges.\n\n... It further appeared to your Committee—though the Monopolist now denies it, and the evidence is conflicting—that the Monopolist said to Mr Hoey, \"Dr Bridges is a very clever man; he can do what he likes with the Governor, and can make a Law and tear it to pieces again the next day.\"\n\n4th. These proceedings in the opinion of your Committee show the want of a due appreciation by Dr Bridges of the demands of his high and important offices as Acting Colonial Secretary, Member of the Legislative Council, and Member of the Executive Council; and denote an absence of that proper sensitiveness which should have made him, above all other persons, foresee and avoid all positions of possible conflict between his Public and Private Duties, which, in the case of the Opium Monopoly, were sufficiently obvious.\n\nThat Dr Bridges should hold the offices mentioned, and at the same time retain the privilege of practicing as a Barrister, however undesirable a state of things, is one for which he cannot be blamed; but the limits within which he would avail himself of this privilege were under his own control. He fixed the limit that he would not act against the Government, and the place in which he informed his client of this fact was most unhappily chosen. Further, he should have seen that anyone, particularly a Chinaman, must think that he would greatly gain by employing as his Counsel a high officer of Government, through whose means changes so beneficial to himself had been made at the last moment in a public Ordinance, and that the Monopolist and the Chinese community generally would conclude, however erroneously, that the official so retained, and the Government of which he was a Member, were open to private influence. That such must be the effect of Dr Bridges's conduct on the minds of the Chinese, there cannot be any doubt. Viewed in this light, therefore, your Committee regret to say, that they consider Dr Bridges's conduct in reference to the Opium Grant blameable, though, as they have before stated, they consider his honesty and honour quite unimpeached.\n\nH.

The Conduct of the Vice-Consul here for France, to which I have referred in the commencement of this Despatch, is an illustration of the evils which are constantly occurring in China from entrusting consular functions to persons engaged in business on their own account.

The ship will have a suitable crew and sufficient armament in case of revolt. A sum of eighty piastres will be allocated to the captain to replace the deck planks cut out for the placement of **ventilators** in the compartments.\n\n2. The charterers will provide on board all the provisions they deem necessary for 120 days of **voyage** and will take full charge of this matter since they are perfectly familiar with the laws and needs of the **Emigrants**. The charterers will also be responsible for installing beds, kitchens, latrines, and a hospital, all according to custom.\n\n3. The charterers will also supply on board water containers, water, and firewood in the quantity they deem necessary for 120 days of **voyage**, as well as other small items like handcuffs, a scale, and chloride of lime. Everything that a ship should have will be at the expense of the **armament**.\n\n## Terms of the Agreement\n\n2°. At the arrival of the ship at its destination, everything that belongs to the charterers, such as barrels, installations, and provisions, will be returned by the captain to Messrs.

In case of mortality, the ship will lose half of the freight proportionally for each Chinese person who dies on board during the voyage.\n\n11°. The ship will be consigned to Messrs. Zaracondeque & Co, who will receive from the ship a commission of 2.5% on the amount of the agreed freight.\n\n12°. It will be granted to the captain, three **piastres**; to the second captain, a quarter of a piastre; and to the crew, one **piastre** of gratification for each **booli** unloaded at **Ballas**.

The charterers will give to the ship a cargo of **Huano** from the Chincha Islands for the United States at the rate of fifteen **piastres** per ton. The ship will pay to the consignees the usual commission and will comply with the conditions required by the Peruvian government. The captain will always have the right to accept or not the said cargo of **Huano**.\n\n## Voyage Conditions\n\n14°.

In the latter case, the expenses of the ship for the **Emigrants** will be for the account of the charterers.\n\n15°.

So far as my Indian experience will apply, I have usually found Coolies from the Towns the worst and most troublesome, and I have invariably refused to receive at the depôt those collected in and about Calcutta, and have also prevented as much as I could the recruiting in the large Towns up-country.\n\n43. I cannot but think that the employment of Native Brokers would be shorn of its disadvantages, when the Emigration Agent and Officers of the Government perform their duties with firmness and justice; permitting no Emigrants to embark without the strictest enquiries into the manner of their recruitment, and without seeing that they clearly understand the terms of their contract, and that they leave of their own free will; and these precautions would be rendered far more satisfactory if the Agent, as is the case with Mr. Sampson, understood and spoke the Chinese language, and had, from a long residence in the country, become well acquainted with the peculiarities of their customs and manners.\n\n44. I am of opinion that if we are to look to the Agricultural Districts of China for a colonising Emigration, it must be accomplished through the direct encouragement and help of the Chinese Government and Officials, or with their sanction through Native Agency under a strict system of licensing and control.\n\n45. I express this conclusion with the very greatest diffidence, knowing how opposed it is to the views of Mr. Sampson, whose long experience in the country and knowledge of the Chinese character, entitle his opinion to greater weight.\n\n46. Very great difficulty was experienced in procuring the numbers of women that have already gone to the West Indies, and those would have been greatly diminished had not the Agent permitted, or rather encouraged, the men to resort to the custom of the country, by purchasing wives for themselves, to which purpose the $20 granted as a bonus to the women was applied.\n\n\"L\n\n47. Mr. Sampson fully explained this system in his report to Her Majesty's Emigration Commissioners of the 29th October 1866. He says, \"As regards Canton, the method of procuring most of the women which have left that port heretofore has been explained in my report of 26th May 1865, as the adoption of the Chinese usage of purchase. Chinese women in destitute condition were brought from the Districts to the large Cities and sold to Chinese as concubines, household servants, laborers, &c., always of course with the woman's own consent. Emigrants to the British West Indies availed themselves of this usage and employed the $20 gratuity to procure for themselves wives from among these women. This is the basis, with some marked exceptions, of all female Emigrants from China to the British West Indies, Surinam, and the Sandwich Islands. The women thus engaged were mostly the wives of men who had disappeared in the long protracted clan fights in the interior. These men were generally said to have been killed, but I have strong grounds for suspecting that, though equally dead to their families, actual death was not the fate. Whether the usage above described has been abused by the Chinese or not I do not know, but during last season the Chinese authorities put a stop not only to the fractional part connected with Emigration, but to the entire proceeding as regards Chinese. Solely, and of course as the continuance of it, as a usage accordant with Chinese customs, was the only ground on which I could sanction it; there was no other course open to me but to submit, and thus it was that no women despatched by me in the \"Pride of the Ganges\" on her last voyage was other than the bona fide wife or mother she was described to be, and the 29 women who sailed in that ship formed one of the marked exceptions to which I have been referred.\"\n\nMACAO.\n\n48. From the Portuguese Settlement of Macao, which forms a part of the District of Hiang Shan at the Western entrance of the Canton river, about 3 hours by Steam from Hong-Kong, there is a very extensive emigration of Chinese, under contract, to both Cuba and Peru, (See Appendices Nos. 6 and 7.) It is conducted by private speculators, Spanish, Portuguese or South Americans, who realise very large sums of money by the trade. From 1856 to 1868, 121,761 males were sent to Cuba and Peru and 5,292 to other countries.\n\n49. It is quite impossible to describe the very strong feelings that exist against the Macao Coolie traffic, as it is termed, in every part of China that I visited, both amongst the Europeans and the Chinese; and the numerous cases of kidnapping connected with this Emigration that have been related to me, are attributed to half-castes and Chinamen from Macao, who get handsomely paid for every soul that they capture and deliver at the baracoons kept by the contractors.\n\nCE\n\n50. The Chinese who are sent to Cuba and Peru by these people are usually classed under three heads, viz., \"prisoners taken in the clan fights, which are of very constant occurrence in the Western Districts of Kuang-Tung, who are sold by the conquerors to Chinese or Portuguese, who are always ready upon the interior waters of China to receive them. Secondly.--Villagers and fishermen who are forcibly taken along the Coast by lorchas manned by Chinese and Portuguese half-castes from Macao, and who are constantly prowling about the rivers for this object, and also of individuals who are enticed into the licensed gambling houses by small loans at first, and who on losing, which is almost invariably the case in the long run, surrender their persons in payment according to the peculiar Chinese notions of liability in this respect, and are sold at the baracoons for sums varying from $40 to $50.\" Thirdly.--Those who from poverty and distress are impelled by necessity to depart in search of some relief in Emigration. I may mention in testimony of the great gains of this traffic that the Peruvian Consul at Macao, who conducted the business himself on his own account, offered in 1865 to procure male Emigrants for the Agent for Honolulu at $100 a head,\n\n(9)\n\nr\n\n701", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-134 - Public Offices - 1868.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 278946, "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": "CO129-138 - Sir MacDonnell - 1869 [6-7]", "page_number": 515, "title": "CO129-138 - Sir MacDonnell - 1869 [6-7]", "content_text": "514\n\ncopy of the enclosed correspondence.\n\nI have to\n\n(signed) Rutherford Alcock.\n\nCopy No\n\nJune 12d\n\nThe Prince of King,\n\n1. 19th instant, I have a communication - A letter of the date of the 27th Ultimo has been received from the American Minister Mr. Brown to the following effect. \"The Cantonese who are employed as laborers in Peru, some 30,000 in number, have made complaint of the cruelty of their Peruvian masters.

The difference, therefore, between sending to die in the Street, and sending to die in the Eloge, was simply that in the latter case the death would be concealed. I respectfully submit that the damning fact against Mr Caldwell is this: that he paid nothing more than the two dollar burial expenses on each coolie who was sent by his orders to the Cloge. Death from starvation was certain, should disease fail to do its work.\n\n18.–\n\nIn the overland China Mail of Dec 16th last, I find the following: \"The Hong Kong Government has permitted certain residents in the colony to inaugurate the Peruvian coolie trade recently suspended but now resumed at Macao.\" The coolie trade is strongly condemned by a section of the community. I trust that I need not state that the Peruvian coolie trade is simple man-stealing and slavery in the worst form. My own advices from Hong Kong inform me that a ship under the Belgian Colors called the Frederic, but in reality owned by the Guano contractors, was being loaded by coolies obtained by Mr Caldwell, whose re-employment by government was, I am aware, advocated by the Agents of the Guano contractor, who have much influence in the local affairs of Hong Kong. I may add that the Frederic is the first vessel which ever took coolies from Hong Kong to Peru.\n\n19.\n\nMeanwhile, Mr Caldwell continues prosperous. Lately, I saw a letter which gave an account of an entertainment which he gave some months ago at his house, which comprised a supper, and a theatrical performance, the whole \"get up\" being described as sumptuous.

Nicaise, have provided for their maintenance in the most economical way possible, by concluding an agreement with the contractor for the supply of provisions to the native prisoners, for the furnishing of the food needed by the Chinese at 18 cents per day per head. Already 20 of the Chinese have had to be taken to the Chinese hospital. The sudden change in their residence and mode of life, as well as the circumstance that most of them have been taken out of the water, will sufficiently point out a cause for sickness.\n\nIt is not, however, to be denied, that the situation of their present abiding place is by no means conducive to health in the long run. With an eye to this, the local authorities have sought for a better situation, where a bamboo shed for the lodging of the Chinese will be set up. The care of them at the present moment rests wholly on the police, as the captain, through want of an agency for the owners of the ship, or of the firm in Peru on whose account the coolies were engaged and shipped, is powerless to defray their expenses on shore, say for their residence, and subsistence, and medical treatment at Batavia; and the Belgian Consul, owing to the presence of the captain, and perhaps influenced also by the circumstance that these natives of the Heavenly Kingdom are not Belgian subjects nor never will be, seems to have no call or authority to concern himself more particularly with the progress or lot of the rescued coolies!\n\nWe understand the Captain intends to look out for a ship which may be engaged to convey the coolies to the place of their destination. And not until their arrival at Callao, can the Netherlands India Government look for payment for the expenses and trouble they have been at in their behalf, from the Peruvian firm, on whose account the coolies were shipped. If the captain should not succeed in obtaining a vessel, then the lodging and the maintenance of the Chinese will remain as a burden on the State cash chest; a measure which appears to us above all necessary, when the Government, in the peculiar and by no means insignificant standpoint which the Chinese occupy in Netherlands India Society, has a difficulty in favoring Chinese Consuls in Netherlands India, or to excite the wish for it amongst others.\n\nOf later consideration is the question, what will have to be done with the Chinese, if the captain does not succeed in finding another vessel for his cargo of coolies? We suppose that in such case opportunity will exist for making use of their services for working the mines on Banka and Billiton, unless the Netherlands India Railway Company feel a desire for experimenting as to how far, with their co-operation, the making of the railroad between Batavia and Buitenzorg, formerly that of the railway between Samarang and the interior, can be expedited; but it is certain that if they are permitted to settle in Netherlands India—and in our opinion there exists much more reason to further this than the contrary—most of them will very speedily find the means of providing for their own subsistence by industrious labour, and it may appear afterwards, that with them, a germ as it were for Netherlands India millionaires, has been brought.\n\nIt remains, nevertheless, needful that some regulations be framed by the Government, which will make it easy for the heads of the district governments to know how to act in cases such as the foregoing. They must at present work in the dark as it were, and by the complete uncertainty which exists respecting this their responsibility, runs as much danger by sitting still as acting vigorously.\"\n\nh5430/40 \n82", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-144 - Sir MacDonnell & Lieut Governor Whitfield - 1870 [3-5].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 283120, "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": "CO129-147 - Public Offices - 1870", "page_number": 328, "title": "CO129-147 - Public Offices - 1870", "content_text": "## Foreign Office, January 6, 1870\n\nTo & non directed by the Earl of Clarendon, I am to acquaint you, for the information of Carl Granville, that he has received a note from the Peruvian Chargé d'Affaires at this Court, stating that Don Cesar del... resident in Hong Kong has been appointed Peruvian Consul in that city, and requesting that Her Majesty's Exequatur may be issued to that Gentleman to enable him to act in the above capacity; and I am to request that you will move the Earl Granville to inform Lord Clarendon if there is any objection to the issue of such Exequatur to Don Cesar.\n\nYour most obedient, humble Servant,\n\nStemmand\n\n### Inclosure\n\nN: 438.\n\n\"088 23g Mong chóng \nAnsw & 11 January 1970. \nGoo. cons. n.6.11 May 1870 4849\"\n\n### Other Text\n\n41ST CONGRESS. 2D SESSION. \nA BILL } S. 279. \nordered to be printed, 1869 DECEMBER 6.-Read the first and second times \n\nUnited States.

The case commenced on the 18th September, and judgment was rendered on the 27th. Mr. F. V. Dickins, Barrister-at-law, appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Davidson, barrister, appeared for the defendants. The Court gave judgment in favour of the defendants.\n\nIt is not the intention of Government to allow foreigners to lease residences in the city of Yedo. All those who were granted permission are notified that they cannot remain longer than one month from date, and are required to return to Tsukiji.\n\nThe Consuls have just been notified of an important departmental change. All claims of a judicial character, instead of being as heretofore addressed to the Chiji of the Kanagawa Ken, are now to be sent to Mr. Nishi Naromori, Shio Chiu Hanji, the President of the Judicial Department of this ken, which from this date will exist as a separate department. Mr. Hill is appointed its legal adviser, and Mr. Wills to act as interpreter in conjunction with two native interpreters.\n\nIt is some time since Yokohama was visited with an earthquake of such unusual violence as that which occurred yesterday morning. The shocks were both lengthy and severe, in one instance knocking several ornaments from a chimney-piece to the floor, and in another, half emptying some fire buckets of their contents.\n\nIt is reported that Mr. Galy has been appointed to the post of interpreter to the Judicial Department, by the Minister of Justice, and Mr. Ribérolles as principal of the newly-established Law College.\n\nFire-rio kinsetsu, of the new issue, printed on foreign paper, are already imitated, spurious notes being in circulation. The Government asserts that the paper and engraving are correct, but the ink used for Japanese seals is too light.\n\nMr. English, Consul at Niigata, is about being transferred to Osaka, where he was formerly stationed, recent occurrences in that quarter having rendered such a step expedient.\n\nMr. A. M. Shillingford and Mr. W. A. J. Waters have been appointed assistants in the Okura-sho, to Mr. T. J. Waters, Surveyor-General.\n\nA deputation of sixty persons has arrived at Kagoshima from the King of the Loochoos to the Mikado, and may be expected...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-159 - Sir Kennedy - 1872 [9-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 288930, "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": 303, "title": "CO129-159 - Sir Kennedy - 1872 [9-12]", "content_text": "10\n\nSubsequently the Peruvian, and flag of other Central States of America.\n\n10.

One was of 1400 tons and was intended to carry about 1300 Emigrants; the other was said to have carried 780 Chinese on her last voyage to Callao.\n\nThe area of the between decks of these ships is not stated, but the smaller of the two must have been excessively crowded with 780 Chinese besides her crew and a few others.\n\nThe statements of the people showed that the Chinese are treated with much cruelty on the voyage, but the Governor had no power till the proposed Ordinance on the subject is passed, to interfere.\n\nMr. 28 encloses a letter from the Chief Justice calling the Governor's attention to the...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-162 - Sir Kennedy - 1873 [1-3].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 290579, "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": "CO129-162 - Sir Kennedy - 1873 [1-3]", "page_number": 220, "title": "CO129-162 - Sir Kennedy - 1873 [1-3]", "content_text": "fact \n\nthat there were 12 ships in the harbour under the Peruvian flag \n\ndestination \n\nfor Peru - among \n\nor having \n\nthem mere \n\n1 French - 2 German and 1 British ship.

The Governor of Macao has directed that in future a stipulation \n\n\"for a back passage shall be inserted in all contracts made with Chinese at Macao. Sir A. Kennedy justly observes that though \n\nof the good faith of the Governor he does not see how this stipulation is to be enforced. I observe however that in the return annexed to the report of the Superintendent of Immigration the number of returned Emigrants in 1872 is given as 7,363 - It is not stated from what places they \n\ncame. \n\n1:29. reports that the \n\nhad \n\nlaid before the Council Lord Kimberley's despatch \n\nD \n\n20 Mar 1872, † announced his intention introducing an Ordinance to carry out the \n\ninstructions it contains. \n\nM: 33.

As a judgment given by the Chief Justice on this view of the Law is now under appeal to the Judicial Committee, and as the highest legal opinion in this country is against him it is clear that the Governor would not have been justified in acting on the Chief Justice's views. Assuming that he will not do so, the Chief Justice suggests that a Law should be passed declaring \n\nCoolie \n\nTrade a \n\nfelony \n\nin all its \n\nphases, felony\". and that the provisions of \n\nAct 1877 the kidnapping Act \n\n72 of the Slave Trade Act and of an American Coolie Trade Act should be adopted for its prohibition.

Visconde de Sao Januario, Governor of Macao, acting under the orders of his Sovereign, has put a stop to a trade that has proved immensely lucrative to the many engaged in promoting it, and, however this desirable result may have been brought about, there is nothing but satisfaction to be felt at its taking place, although somewhat late in the day.\n\nOne of the paragraphs of the proclamation referred to, calls attention to an article in the Emigration Regulations providing for the stoppage of the so-called emigration within three months, from which we might infer that it might either be allowed to continue until the full three months had expired, or the traffic might be stopped immediately; and one would feel rather inclined to be dubious as to the further lease of life to be accorded to the coolie traffic, but the assertion that \"The Chinese Emigration hitherto carried on in the port of Macao is henceforward prohibited,\" is reassuring, and we conclude that the various vessels lying in the Macao roadstead waiting for coolies may unfurl their sails and seek for different employment.\n\nIt is evident that Portugal is convinced, by this time, that though good, honest regulations could be made to govern the emigration from Macao, it was not equally possible to have these regulations duly observed, and consequently, with a sense of justice that there were, at one time, grave reasons to doubt she had, she has decided upon having no more infamy cast upon her on the Coolie question.\n\nIt is possible that we are rejoicing before we have any very great cause so to do; it is, perhaps, not improbable that Macao may be re-opened as a mart for Coolie labour, but we have hopes of better things, and until we see Macao carrying on the Coolie trade again as of old, we shall steadily refuse to credit that a return of the former days is in any way likely. The question that now occurs to us is, has the Coolie trade been killed by this last act of Portugal, or is it likely to flourish as strongly as ever. To our mind its prospects are very bad indeed. The action taken by the Chinese authorities at different times has been such as would preclude them from entering upon any agreement, even upon the most advantageous terms for themselves, with either the Coolie brokers or traders, whereby a certain number of coolies should be shipped annually for Peru and Havana, and consequently the trade as it has been carried on is, in our opinion, virtually terminated. In fact the only thing that can be done now is for either Spain and Peru to obtain some small foothold on the Coast of China, when the traffic, now supposed to be dead, would be found to be scotched only.\n\nThe stop taken by Portugal on this long vexed question will affect to a great extent, we should imagine, the negotiations now going on between Li-hung-chang and H. E. Capt. Garcia y Garcia, materially strengthening the position assumed by the former; so much so, that we should not be by any means surprised to learn that the two diplomatists above mentioned have been unable to agree upon any terms. Whether such a result would be beneficial or otherwise to the able-bodied power classes, of China, is a question that can be satisfactorily solved by time only, but merely as an opinion, we think that some arrangements made upon a sound basis, between Peru and China, would be better for such men as all the position of coolies than if there were no agreement whatever as, in the one case there would be supervision of some sort whilst in the other semi-independent mandarins stationed along the Coast over whom the Government supervision is very light might undertake to enrich themselves without considering the honourableness of the manner in which it was done.\n\n## MACÃO.\n\n(From our own Correspondent.)\n\nAs I told you in my last, the coolie trade is finished, and, I hope, for ever. The Governor since his arrival has often informed the home authorities of the utter impossibility of renovating the system, and rooting out the abuses. With people zealous in the nefarious modus operandi, reform is totally out of the question. The recent energetic pressure put to bear on the Lisbon Government by the Court of St. James, coupled with unbiased dispatches from Macao, in which plain truth was said, have at last moved the King to wire the death warrant, which, like a bombshell, was made known here on Saturday at half past two in the afternoon, half an hour before the closing of the public departments. At 8 o'clock the whole town was in a state of commotion—like an excitement in the 'Change or during the late monetary crisis in New York. Agents, who have already transacted the business of the day, were immediately off for their brokers to recover the advances made in the morning and to cancel the contracts. Barracconers locked up at the Camoens, who in their turn, released the uncooled, which, in the coolie-trade phraseology, means \"unprepared to pay the fatal peso,\" and, foreseeing a tempest not far distant, pack their traps for immediate departure. The officials, who derive upwards of two hundred per cent. on their pay, from the coffers of the superintendency, looked rather blue, and will have to be content with the paltry sum allowed them by the regulation, which is barely enough to keep body and soul together. Thirty-five to forty thousand brokers and employés of the trade are now left out of employment, and it is estimated that 300 houses will soon be vacated! Therefore, you need not be surprised to hear loud cries by ex-chuchueiros and ex-chuchueiras against the new order, and against the person who caused it. Legitimate trade here is almost nil; coolie-trade having enervated the people, all industry died away one after the other until no other business was known but that in human beings. What this large army of idlers will do to get a living, I do not know, nor do I pity them now in their disappointment, for my feelings have long been with those who have been ensnared by them into captivity and certain death in Havana, Peru and in the dreadful caverns of the guano islands.\n\nThe coolie brokers being the chief supporters of the gambling houses, now that their bankruptcy is apparent, some of them dens of iniquity are being closed, and in their sad places pawnbroker's shops—this abominable destination that ferments misery and poverty—will be established. Last night the fan-tan tables were almost deserted and the bids were so insignificantly small, that astonished the players, who had the shops shut up long before the accustomed time.\n\nBy the present steamer some of the Agents and others interested in coolie ships \"Chandlers\" take their departure from Macao, and to-morrow's boat will carry despatches for the French Mail steamer announcing the compliance with the King's mandate as well as a long exposition of the probable future of Macao without the obnoxious traffic.\n\nThe following Peruvian ships are in the roads: \"Cullen,\" \"Isaia,\" \"Ornole,\" \"Luisa Canevaro,\" \"Macro,\" \"Colombia,\" \"Nuova Providencia,\" \"Agostina,\" \"Lala,\" \"Peru,\" \"Providencia,\" \"Fray Bentos;\" their aggregate tonnage being 12,000 tons. One of which will, probably, take the sweepings of the barracoons, numbering in all about 500, of which several are infirm and cripples, and, therefore, unfit for any work whatever.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-165 - Sir Kennedy - 1873 [10-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 292785, "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": "CO129-166 - Public Offices & Others - 1873", "page_number": 215, "title": "CO129-166 - Public Offices & Others - 1873", "content_text": "## RECEIVER \n5 FEB 1873 \n213 \n\nForeign Office, \nJanuary 4, 1873.\n\nSir,\n\nI am directed by Her Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs to transmit to you to be laid before The Earl of Kimberley, the accompanying copy of a despatch from Her Majesty's Minister at Lima, reporting the departure for China and Japan of a Peruvian Diplomatic Mission.\n\nI am, \nSir, \nYour most obedient humble servant, \nEnfield", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-166 - Public Offices & Others - 1873.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 292786, "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": "CO129-166 - Public Offices & Others - 1873", "page_number": 216, "title": "CO129-166 - Public Offices & Others - 1873", "content_text": "# \n214 \n\n## Pay Lord \nLuinn 26 Dec: 72 \n\nThe Mission which was Peruvian Govt. had intended to send to Japan & China in the man of war `Independencia` did not go in that vessel, as the President does not wish to weaken the squadron in case of any future troubles, but took passage in the `Enxilationner` for Panama on the 22nd, & from thence they proceed to San Francisco, California by the American line to & from thence to their destination.\n\nThe Captain of the `Independencia` who has been replaced in that vessel during his absence, nevertheless retains his nomination as Peruvian Representative, & the personnel of the Legation stands thus: \n| Position | Name |\n| --- | --- |\n| Envoy Min: Plenipo. | Don Aurelio Garcia y Garcia |\n| Secretary | Don Juan Sedano Elcuore |\n| Attachés | Don C.

Contract is really of little practical use, if at all, better than the Chinese Trade. For the breach of regulations for preventing which he was responsible, appears to be a serious concern.\n\nI have always felt (vide minute of 23 Secr. 1872) that the migration to San Francisco was virtually immigration under contract, and that the passage money was not paid by the Emigrants themselves. At the same time, the law in the U.S. States gave no facility for enforcing the observance of the guarantee he had given before leaving China.\n\nAs far as the contract is concerned, I do not think any objection will be made on arrival in San Francisco. It would have been simpler and prevented complication to adhere to the original rule that no emigration should take place from Hong Kong except to British ports or to British Establishments. But the only result would have been to drive the American Steamers to Canton or Amoy - to the inconvenience and loss of the Merchants of Hongkong, and to the disadvantage of the emigrants who would have lost the protection of the Chinese passenger Acts.\n\nThe possibility that Peruvian & Spanish vessels might claim the same privilege was foreseen, but it was considered that sufficient reasons existed to justify the refusal of permission to take Chinese persons from Hongkong to Peru or Cuba.\n\nThe questions now to be considered are two. First, whether the Governor is to continue to refuse permission to Peruvian Ships to carry emigrants to San Francisco. Second, in what way he is to meet the attempts that will be made to get Emigrants for Peru or Cuba through Hongkong. The first question has for the present been settled.\n\nPage 327", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-167 - Sir Kennedy - 1874 [1-8].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 293674, "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": "CO129-167 - Sir Kennedy - 1874 [1-8]", "page_number": 334, "title": "CO129-167 - Sir Kennedy - 1874 [1-8]", "content_text": "## he mou \nlash \nthe (piese Authoribes itnich will facilitate any measuret think it necessary to adopt.\n\nThe Chinese Isu had in April remany at 17 gun boats in Hong Kong harbour of which, judging from the names, 11 were commanded by English men - 3 by French men - 3 by Chinese. There is, therefore, ample force to prevent any violation of Chinese law in the shipping of coolies.\n\nI would suggest that the Governor should be requested to take the whole matter into consideration and to report fully what are the difficulties with which he expects to have to deal in preventing the shipment of Emigrants from Hongkong in Spanish ships.\n\n## \n\nTo write to Lord Granmor. But I think that copies of this, and of `6743` should be sent to the Foreign Office. Yes, representing that the attention of Government, who are very dexterous in the employment to prevent abuses in the coolie labour, and the strong presumption that the Chinese ostensibly introduced into San Francisco may be in reality compelled to proceed to Peruvian ports.\n\nA complete cooperation on the part of the U.S. authorities at San Francisco is required at the same time. I apprehend that this is not the case for the transport of Chinese to California, where large numbers are conveyed and employed in all kinds of labour.

The Consul, Col. Moneby, and his clerk Mr Rickards, saw to the proper formal introduction of each presentee, and everything passed over most successfully and quietly. The Consulate was adorned with flags. Outside were displayed the Stars and Stripes, and the Peruvian flag; and in the entrance hall were displayed the American flag and the Peruvian, with the Portuguese and Italian flags on either side of the doorway.\n\nThe American Consulate is at the same time the Peruvian Consulate. Over the doorway leading to the reception chamber were the English and American flags. In the reception room, the Russian and German flags were hung. The reception did not last long, less than an hour being occupied altogether. The following is as complete a list as could be obtained of those who were present. If any names are unwittingly left out it is entirely the blame of those who failed to leave their cards — G. Holcombe, Esq., Charge d'Affaires, Peking; Bishop Raimondi; Hon. Acting Puisne Judge, J.

General Grant, his son Lieut.-Col. Grant, and Mr Russell J. Young, who accompanied him, after the reception proceeded to Government House to tiffin, and spent most of the afternoon there. During the afternoon Messrs. Roberts and Shorter, the billiard players, had the honour of playing at Government House, before His Excellency and General Grant, the ladies, and the other members of the party. The Governor and General Grant drove round the town in the course of the afternoon.\n\nTo-night, a dinner will take place at Government House, when about twenty guests will be present. Mr and Mrs Robert Hart, who proceed to Shanghai to-day by the French steamer, were among the guests at Government House last night. To-morrow night a State Dinner will be given, when about forty guests will be present, all official guests appearing in full uniform. The Band will be in attendance, and a reception will be held from 10 till 12; when the brilliant lighting up of Government House Gardens will add additional beauty and attraction to this evening's entertainment. Half way up the hill, in Wyndham Street, a capital transparency portrait of General Grant, with on the other side the British and American flags, has been exposed every night, lighted up brilliantly, and has attracted much attention. The lamp is shown over the house of Mr Moore, an American.\n\nGeneral Grant is a man in appearance about fifty years of age, although actually seven years older, having been born in 1822, 27th April. He looks uncommonly fresh in spite of the tear and wear of War's alarms, and the worrying and trying boredom of being lionized as he has been for the past six months or more. He is rather under than over the average size, has a fresh ruddy face, and brown hair of a grayish hue. He is evidently a man of most unassuming manners and most dogged resolution, and when he gets into his favourite attitude, crossing his knees and leaning slightly forward, with his cigar in his hand, he recalls to one's recollection the five or six hundred portraits we have all seen of him, either during the war or the term of his double presidency.\n\nIn conversation he is a willing participator, and talks genially and pleasantly.\n\nPage 333", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-184 - Governor Hennessy - 1879 [1-5].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 305049, "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": "CO129-186 - Public Offices & Others - 1879", "page_number": 306, "title": "CO129-186 - Public Offices & Others - 1879", "content_text": "# \n\nE.

The Officer, however, succeeded in attracting the attention of the Captain of the steamer, and claimed his protection, but he declined interfering until he had consulted the British Consul. He accordingly repaired to the Consulate, and in answer to his application, was informed by Mr. Wilthew that, in his opinion, the officers in question had no right whatever to detain the other officer, who was merely a passenger as they themselves were: that he had a perfect right to land whenever it suited him, and that the Prefect and his party had no kind of jurisdiction on board the mail-packet. On returning to his ship the Captain at once ordered the release of the Officer, who went on shore, and shortly afterwards proceeded on his way to Arequipa.\n\nThe Captain accounted for his indecision, when called upon to protect the Officer in question, by saying that he was in doubt how to act, owing to the Officer having been detained by a Government authority. In reporting the case home, Consul Wilthew asked for instructions for his guidance under similar circumstances in future, and upon the advice of the Queen's Advocate, to whom the question was referred, he was told that Her Majesty's Government approved the course which he had pursued on that occasion, but that he was to exercise a careful discretion in all cases of a similar description; that he was not to claim upon principle for British Merchant-vessels in Peruvian ports a right of exemption from the jurisdiction of local authorities; but that he might properly remonstrate against the exercise of any such authority as a breach of usage and comity, except in very extreme cases.\n\nWith regard to Mail-Steamers, Mr. Wilthew was\n\n177\n\nPage 180\n\nPage 181", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-191 - Public Offices & Others - 1880.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 307603, "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": "CO129-191 - Public Offices & Others - 1880", "page_number": 181, "title": "CO129-191 - Public Offices & Others - 1880", "content_text": "told that he would be justified in remonstrating still more strongly against any exercise of local jurisdic-tion on board such vessels;

July 12, 1865. reported that he had received a further despatch from Mr. Wilthew, stating that on the arrival of the Pacific Company's steamer \"Bolivia\" at Islay, a few days previously, the Peruvian Captain Montero, commanding the \"Amazonas\" (which vessel, in consequence of a mutiny, had been turned over to the revolutionary party), proceeded on board the British packet and ordered several naval officers belonging to the Government party (amongst whom was a military officer who had embarked at Cobija, in Bolivia, the others having taken passage at Arica for Callao) to leave the ship; and as he threatened to use force in case of refusal, and had an armed boat alongside, these officers, who were on board the packet as passengers, were all removed.\n\nThe naval officers in question had refused, after the mutiny on board the \"Amazonas,\" to join the revolutionary party, and were put on shore at Arica, by Captain Montero, after pledging their word of honour not to leave that place, which they, however, did, without meeting with any opposition from the de facto local authorities; and it was under these circumstances that on their arrival at Islay, in transit for Callao, Captain Montero took upon himself the hazardous expedient of causing them to leave the steam-packet \"Bolivia\" against their will, and under threat of using force if they did not do so.\n\nNeither the Captain of the mail-packet nor his officers or crew offered any resistance to Captain Montero's act, though the Captain went to the Consulate in order to note his protest, which protest he extended at Callao before Her Majesty's Consul.\n\nMr. Wilthew informed Mr. Jerningham that he had not thought it incumbent upon him to interfere in the matter in consequence of the instructions he had received from the Foreign Office (already No. 3; May 9, 1865: alluded to) in the case of the mail-packet \"Bogota,\" and that he did not go on board to remonstrate August 28, 1865.\n\nagainst Captain Montero's proceedings owing to the excited state of that officer; fearing that he might be insulted, which he could not resent, and for which he would get no satisfaction.\n\ncase.\n\nOn the receipt of Mr. Wilthew's Report, Mr. Jerningham went from Lima to Callao, and informed Commodore Harvey, of Her Britannic Majesty's ship \"Leander,\" of the particulars of the Commodore Harvey's attention had already been called to the matter by the Director of the Packet Company, and he informed Mr. Jerningham that, with a view to prevent in future any recurrence of acts of interference with the packets, he had issued an order for an officer with a corporal and guard of Royal Marines to proceed on board the mail-packets on their arrival, and to remain on board during their stay in port; and that the white ensign and pendant would be hoisted during such time; assigning as his reason for these precautions the removal of the Peruvian Military Officer, who had embarked at Cobija (in Bolivia) for Callao;\n\nMr. Jerningham remarked, that although Commodore Harvey did not allude to the case of the Peruvian Naval Officers, passengers under the British flag, also removed from the \"Bolivia,\" there could be but little doubt that such a proceeding was one of unwarrantable interference, and he added that Commodore Harvey's measure will have a very good effect, and prevent a recurrence of such violent and unjustifiable vexations and interference.\n\nThere being then no postal Treaty with Peru, Mr. Jerningham suggested that it would be a successful means of putting a stop to such proceedings in the future were a British Naval Officer to accompany the Pacific mail-packets, as was the case with the British West India packets plying between Southampton and St. Thomas.\n\nThe matter was then referred to the Queen's Advocate, who in his Report stated that, under the extraordinary circumstances of the case, Commodore Harvey was justified in the line he had adopted. But, he added, that the placing a guard on board the mail-packets would confer on such vessels for the time being the privilege of ship of war; in fact, to giving them, in so far as regarded belligerents, a Commission, for that, as a general rule, an uncommissioned or merchant ship in port was\n\nPage 79\n\n[79]\n\nE\n\n178", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-191 - Public Offices & Others - 1880.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 307604, "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": "CO129-191 - Public Offices & Others - 1880", "page_number": 182, "title": "CO129-191 - Public Offices & Others - 1880", "content_text": "12\n\nnot exempt from the jurisdiction of the local authority. The Queen's Advocate further said that great care must be taken that the mail-packet did not in any way interfere by the carriage of passengers, or by any other act, with the operations of the belligerents.\n\nIt should, however, be observed, that at this time the revolutionary party in Peru had not been recognized as belligerents.\n\nThe Admiralty were of opinion that Mr. Jerningham's suggestion as to officers being sent in charge of the mails on the same footing as those on the West Indian and other lines should be approved, but they stated that they could not concur in the course proposed with regard to a white ensign and pendant being hoisted on board those packets, as such flags were solely used by Her Majesty's vessels, and there would be no force on board the packets to protect such flags from insult, and they further considered that the hoisting of them would lead to embarrassment.\n\nBut on subsequently receiving a copy of the Queen's Advocate's Report for their information, the Admiralty stated that instructions would be sent to Commodore Harvey to desist from placing any guard on board the Pacific mail-packets.\n\nThe Post Office also considered it inadvisable to adopt Mr. Jerningham's suggestion, that a British Naval Officer should in future accompany each of the mail-packets, since no inconvenience had been experienced by the Post Office in placing the mails in charge of the commanders of the packets, and the expense of appointing and maintaining a corps of naval agents would be very considerable.\n\nLord Russell entirely concurred in these views, and copies of the letters from the Admiralty and Post Office were accordingly sent to Her Majesty's Consul at Callao, for his guidance.\n\nIn November 1865 the Peruvian Minister for Foreign Affairs applied to Mr. Barton, who was in charge of the Legation at Callao, for the surrender to the Peruvian authorities of ex-President Pezet and other officers, who were accused of high treason, robbery, and assassination, and who had taken refuge on board Her Majesty's ship \"Shearwater.\" These refugees, who had fled on board this ship for the protection of their lives during an insurrection, were subsequently transferred to Her Majesty's ship \"Mutine,\" and, in reply to the application which he had received, Mr. Barton informed the Peruvian Minister that the parties in question had all been so transferred, and had sailed for Panama the day before he received that application.

Sanguirico), who was the bearer of despatches, and had taken a passage on board that vessel, that he would deliver him over to the authorities at any Peruvian port where the vessel might touch, should he be required to do so,\n\nThe question was referred to the Law Officers, and they reported that the \"Pacific,\" being a merchant-vessel, was not exempt by International Law or usage from the territorial jurisdiction of Peru while within Peruvian waters, and that she could not therefore confer, while within those waters, upon any enemy of the Peruvian Republic, whom she might be carrying as a passenger or otherwise, a privilege to or exemption which she did not herself possess.\n\nIt was added that even if the Captain of the \"Pacific\" had proposed voluntarily to do some act contrary to his duty towards M. Sanguirico when beyond British jurisdiction, Her Majesty's Government had no power or control over that vessel or her Commander, and could not have prevented and would not have been responsible for it; and that any such passenger, whether in the political service of a foreign Government or not, when warned beforehand of any such intention on the part of the Captain, as in the case of M. Sanguirico, must determine for himself what was the proper course to take with a view to his own safety.\n\nA reply to this effect was accordingly sent to the Spanish Minister.\n\nIn September 1868 a serious riot occurred at Hong Kong on board the French Messageries\n\n179", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-191 - Public Offices & Others - 1880.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 309146, "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": "CO129-193 - Governor Hennessy - 1881 [5-7]", "page_number": 486, "title": "CO129-193 - Governor Hennessy - 1881 [5-7]", "content_text": "480\n\nA copy of the China Mail,\n\nof the 27th April last was also\n\nlaid upon the\n\ntable.\n\nThis Excellency adjourned\n\nthe Council sine die.\n\nRear and\n\n(signed) J.

For some eight or ten months back, difficulties of a more or less irregular and spasmodic nature have been thrown in the way of obtaining a license for shipping Chinese emigrants to Australian ports; and it would seem now that a fresh departure is likely to take place. The victims (if we may say so) in the present case are the agents of the steamer Glamis Castle (Messrs Gibb, Livingston & Co.), which vessel was ready yesterday morning to take her departure with some 800 Chinese passengers. We believe that another telegram was received by the Government here, representing that an unusually large number of Celestials were coming to Sydney, and asking what sort of people they were; and His Excellency the Governor seems to have thereupon hit upon the large shipment per Glamis Castle upon which to prosecute enquiries. It may here be mentioned that the old blunder regarding the interpretation of the phrase \"contract of service\" is at the bottom of all Sir John Pope Hennessy's action in this matter, and the tactics or investigations adopted in the present case bear a very strong similarity with those employed in the famous Peruvian case at Canton. It is generally believed that Mr Phillippo, formerly Attorney General here, gave it as his opinion that the common custom of borrowing a sum of money, or hypothecating one's household goods, in order to raise the amount of one's passage-money, did not constitute a contract of service within the meaning of the Chinese Passengers' Acts or of our local Ordinances. Possibly His Excellency has obtained a different opinion from the present Legal Adviser to the Crown, otherwise the present action of the Governor is incomprehensible. It may or it may not be considered a good thing by the Australians that Chinese passengers be admitted into the Colonies in large numbers; but it seems to us that a telegram announcing any opinion upon this subject is not sufficient to justify any irregular or vexatious action towards steamer agents on this side of the line.\n\nIn\n\nThe facts appear to be these: According to present regulations, all Chinese passengers have to be examined and passed by the Emigration Officer (Captain Thomsett) before the license is granted by the Governor; and although the exercise of this rule has frequently been found to press very unfairly upon ship-agents, it certainly gives the Executive a strong hold upon the passenger business. In this way the Honolulu trade was snuffed out, even when the Pacific Mail and the Occidental & Oriental Companies were desirous of entering into that legitimate business. In response to the telegram from Australia already referred to, the Governor took steps to increase the strictness of the examination of the passengers; but with that unfortunate fatality which seems to haunt the Head of the Government here, the manner of the thing has turned out to be anything but wise or happy. The Acting Colonial Secretary, Dr. Eitel (Private Secretary), and Mr Gerrard (Acting Registrar General), were deputed as a sort of quasi-Board, to perform the functions of the Queen's Emigration Officer. Had the arrangement been made in order to assist Captain Thomsett, or even to oversee and report upon the mode of examination, the thing would have been comparatively unobjectionable. As it was, the Queen's Emigration Officer was quietly superseded, and a needless insult was thus cast upon an officer whose experience and standing deserved more consideration.\n\nThe performance of the delicate duty thus indelicately imposed upon the three officials named might have been more successful had it not been that His Excellency's Private Secretary, whose unfortunate position, as a kind of ever-present mouthpiece of the Governor, seems lately to have given him a dash of overbearing bluntness that tends to an excess of friction whenever it becomes apparent. We understand that the interests of the mercantile community were well supported by Captain Thomsett in this matter, and that unnecessary delay was", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-193 - Governor Hennessy - 1881 [5-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 316391, "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": "CO129-199 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1882 [4]", "page_number": 18, "title": "CO129-199 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1882 [4]", "content_text": "## (Sec. 2.) \nThe denominations of money in the currency of Canada to be dollars, cents, and mills, the cent being one hundredth part of a dollar, and the mill one tenth part of a cent.\n\n## (Sec. 3.) \nThe currency of Canada to be such that the British sovereign shall be equal to and pass current for four dollars eighty-six cents and two thirds of a cent of the currency of Canada, and the half sovereign for one half the said sum.\n\n## (Sec. 6.) \nHer Majesty may cause gold coins to be struck for circulation in Canada and assign thereon value as a legal tender.\n\n## (Sec. 7.) \nThe silver, copper, or bronze coins which Her Majesty has caused to be struck for circulation in Quebec, Ontario, and New Brunswick to be a legal tender in Nova Scotia and throughout Canada.

These fixtures were thus unsightly for the whole of one day and parts of two others. The lanterns also necessitated the attendance of a number of men. To dispense with the unsightliness of the lantern fixings, the attendance of men on Sundays, the expense of the lantern illuminations, and the circumstance of the lanterns being subject to extinction of their lights by a sudden shower I had the honour to propose the introduction of gas for the purpose of illuminating the two terraces and entrances. The proposition was approved and the necessary vote for carrying out the work was placed at my disposal, when gas was at once laid on and the requisite fixings were made.\n\n45. At the request of the Colonel of the Regiment a Wooden Platform two feet high and 28 feet in diameter was constructed for the use of the Band when it performs in the Gardens.\n\nAt present there is only one situation where this platform can be placed. It has to be carried and put in position on Saturday, where it remains until Monday. When it is not in use the appearance of the platform does not add to the beauty of the terrace. It would be desirable to find another place for it, if this can be done without interfering seriously with the effect of the music, where the platform might be planted off from view.\n\n46. AL FRESCO FETE.-In November a large Fête in aid of the Alice Memorial Hospital was held in the Gardens on two nights. Very extensive preparations in the way of mat structures for theatre, fancy work stalls, refreshments, bar, and other things had to be made. I believe there were about 6,000 people admitted to the Gardens on each night. Considerable damage was done to the grass turf, and most of the flower beds which had just been filled for the winter season were so much trampled on that they had to be replanted after the fete was over, some shrubs and plants in pots were also destroyed. The staff for some time after the fête had to be withdrawn from their usual occupations in order to get the Gardens into respectable order again.\n\n47. HORTICULTURAL SHOW.-The Annual (15th) Flower Show was again held in the Gardens. The space required for the exhibits was greater than it previously had been. These shows have been productive of the greatest good in the cultivation of vegetables, in which, as is most desirable, the Chinese take more and more interest, which is a proof that to them the industry is a paying one.\n\n48. It would greatly enhance the value and interest of the shows if exhibitors would have each plant carefully and conspicuously named.\n\n49. A new interest was attached to the exhibition last year by the award of Silver and Bronze medals-called Belilios Medals-and Money Prizes provided for by a handsome Endowment Fund which was generously placed at the disposal of the Committee by Mr. E. R. BELILIOS.\n\nIt is hoped and expected that these prizes, which will be offered every year, will still further stimulate horticultural enterprise in the Colony.\n\n50. OFFICE. Since my return from leave I have devoted much time to the institution of an improved system of office work and arrangements, which were urgently needed, and of the working up of arrears in both ordinary routine, and correspondence. Improved furniture and conveniences were pressingly necessary, and they have been obtained. By these improvements work is greatly facilitated, and much time is saved.\n\n51. In consequence of the absence of the Superintendent for half the year correspondence, especially foreign, has not been so great. The average number of letters despatched from the office for the year was about 1,500, of which one-third was foreign correspondence.\n\n52. In addition to the general Administration of the Department the Superintendent either writes or drafts all of the Correspondence, directs and supervises the Forest work, and attends to the keeping and progress of the Herbarium with the aid of native assistance only. In both office and herbarium there is room and necessity for more skilful assistance than that which is available, as it is impossible to entirely keep up with the increasing demands of important subjects which are continually pressing for attention.\n\n53. The time of the Head Gardener is entirely taken up with the management of the native staff within the Botanic and Government House Gardens and the execution of the manifold operations therein, and with the sale of plants.\n\n54. HERBARIUM. More and more interest is being directed to the Botany of China, and it is a pity that this institution which in many respects is so conveniently situated for research in important and interesting subjects has not the means for extending and more completely fulfilling the work which still remains to be done in bringing to light the botanical treasures of the Chinese Empire. However, I acknowledge with pleasure the aid which the Government has so generously placed at my disposal so far for botanical research. Valuable results have been obtained for some years past, results which have met with the hearty acknowledgment of eminent scientific men in England, and the last year has, although there was so little time for scientific work, had a large share of good results.\n\n55. In this work I have to thank the Rev. B. C. HENRY, of Canton, for a large package of plants which he collected and dried during a journey across the island of Hainan. I named such plants of the collection as were known to me, and submitted the remainder, to Kew Gardens. The result of the investigation there proved the collection to be of unusual interest, and of richness in new species.\n\nCareful and intelligent travellers like Mr. HENRY are able to render great and valuable services to botany while on journeys undertaken for other purposes. I should always be glad to receive collections from travellers and also to give such advice and assistance as might be needed in indicating the best methods of collecting and preserving the specimens.\n\n56. To the Rev. E. FABER I am also indebted for a fine collection made in the neighbourhood of Ningpo and Shanghai. These plants are of much interest, but they have not, for want of time, been yet fully examined.\n\n57. Mr. WM. M. COOPER, Her Majesty's Consul at Ningpo, is also entitled to best acknowledgments for botanical specimens and information of much interest which has been communicated from time to time, as well as for consignments of seeds of useful plants.\n\n58. Mr. WESTLAND has been successful in the discovery and collection of several new plants on the mainland and islands close to Hongkong, on a few occasions when he was able to get away from his duties in the Gardens.\n\n59. The year has seen the commencement of the publication by the Linnean Society of the \"Index Flora Sinensis\" or an Enumeration of all the known Plants of China. This establishment has been of much service in contributing to Kew Gardens material and information for use in the production of this very important work.\n\n60. By the death at Amoy in June, of the late lamented Dr. HENRY FLETCHER HANCE, China lost not only its most learned and courteous botanist, but also the rich collection of dried plants, and an extensive botanical library. I at one time hoped that part of the herbarium might have been secured for Hongkong, but instead of this being so, the whole Herbarium has been purchased by the Trustees of the British Museum.\n\n61. There is immense work to be yet done in China, not only in the discovery of a vast number of plants which it is certain are yet unknown to science, but also in the introduction and collection of information on plants used in medicine and domestic economy. In the advancement of such work, this Department, with increased facilities, could render still more important services.\n\n62. LIBRARY.-My visit to England afforded a good opportunity to procure a number of books which were required to augment the library of the Department. With the aid which the Government was good enough to place at my disposal this opportunity was not lost.\n\n63.

The parts which have been published during the year of the \"Flora of British India,\" the \"Index Flora Sinensis\" (several copies), and some parts of \"Icones Plantarum\" have been generously presented by Mr. DYER, of Kew Gardens, for which donations I have to sincerely thank him.\n\n65. I have also to acknowledge with thanks, the various Reports of the Indian Forest Department, which have been generously contributed as they were published.\n\n66. In addition to these I am also indebted for various Annual Reports and Papers of the numerous Indian and Colonial Botanic Gardens with which we are in correspondence.\n\nPage 354", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-232 - Acting Governor Marsh Acting Governor Cameron - 1887 [4-5].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 352439, "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": "CO129-260 - Governor Sir Robinson Acting Governor O-Brien - 1893 [9-12]", "page_number": 31, "title": "CO129-260 - Governor Sir Robinson Acting Governor O-Brien - 1893 [9-12]", "content_text": "of the same value and accepted together in settlement of accounts.

Of this amount, some $5,000,000 or more are exported in bullion in small amounts to meet the local demands of trade and commerce. Some $20,000,000 of the product of Mexico goes in matte to the great refineries of Swansea, in England, and is there coined.\n\nSuch a suggestion, Mr. President, is too petty to be fairly considered. If we are to have bonds, let us meet a bond issue like men. I for one need no sop thrown to me of a seigniorage bill in consideration that I shall give the Secretary of the Treasury my vote to issue unlimited bonds to meet unknown and uncertain deficits. We will cross that stream when we reach it. It is within my memory, Mr. President, when no dollar of silver was ever produced in this country to any commercial extent. Since that time, in the last twenty years, we have built our refineries, built our smelting works, we have adopted different processes, and we now smelt our silver into bullion, but $20,000,000 of the product of Mexico still goes to England in the form of matte.\n\nThis resolution, then, is not introduced because it has any relation whatever with the future of the silver question in the United States. It has no sort of connection with the great principle of bimetallism.\n\nChina, like all other nations doing business on a silver basis, and owing no debts the principal and interest of which are payable in gold, is in a most prosperous and happy condition, with a rapidly increasing commerce and largely increasing exports. There has not been a period in the history of that nation when its internal affairs and its foreign commerce were in as good a condition as now. That condition has been largely facilitated by the attitude of Great Britain toward India, to which I shall hereafter refer, but it is a fact that the trade of China, internal and with the outer world, was never as prosperous as now.\n\nThat country, with its population of upwards of 400,000,000, is dominated by precedent; its methods of agriculture, of manufacture, and of transportation have remained unchanged through all the centuries. When she first opened her ports unwillingly to foreign nations, the Mexican dollar was adopted as the standard of value and its adoption has remained unchanged. Almost every other nation of the world has endeavored to introduce its dollars in competition with the Mexican dollar, and has failed. The English Government for a time, at Hongkong, started the coinage of a British dollar, and coined some 10,000,000 of them. Some of them were used in circulation, some of them as buttons, as bangles, and as ornaments; but they made no general impression upon the country, and their coinage was withdrawn.\n\nThe French nation commenced the coinage of a dollar with which to transact its commercial business with China, but it was compelled to withdraw it.\n\nThe Japanese Government now coins its yen, with not quite so much silver in it as had the Mexican dollar. It has also something of a circulation, but an extremely limited circulation in China.\n\nOur trade dollar, of which we issued some $35,000,000, never became general in use throughout the Chinese Empire.\n\nThe Senator from Ohio [Mr. SHERMAN] inadvertently made a suggestion the other day which is not in accordance with the fact, that the Chinese Government stamped the \"yen\" upon the coin, and it then became currency. The \"yen\" is the name of the Japanese coin. It was the custom at the time our trade dollar was introduced in China for each business house receiving a dollar to stamp its \"chop\" or business mark or device upon the dollar, and then it would circulate to the next business house, which, in turn, would stamp its \"chop\" or mark upon it.\n\nAfter circulating a few times, it would become defaced, disfigured, and light in weight, when it would be rejected by the banks, and after its rejection by the banks, it would be coined into bullion. The bullion afterwards found its way into India or was hoarded, as was the custom in those years, as among the assets of the retiring Chinese merchants who were in the habit of running their silver into bullion and preserving it as part of their treasure or assets or fortune, but in all those attempts, nothing has taken the place of the Mexican dollar. The Mexican Government started to change the emblem on its dollar, but that change was unacceptable to the Chinese Government, and the old Mexican dollar still stands as the standard of circulation in that country.\n\nDisraeli has said that every precedent embalms a principle; and it may be, Mr. President, that back of this precedent, which seems to us meaningless, the fact that while other countries coined a dollar for foreign circulation only, the Mexican Government has issued to China, no dollar which it repudiates at home, may have had much to do with the fact that the Mexican dollar has remained the standard. This Mexican dollar is a dollar of 377 grains fine, known as the dollar marked with the cactus, the eagle, and snake.\n\nTo meet this universal demand, the Mexican mints are more than overcrowded. The Mexican Government charges a seigniorage of 4.40 per cent on every dollar which it coins. It charges an export duty of 2 per cent on all silver exported from the country. So that those producing silver in Mexico must either\n\n| Capacity of Mexican Mints | Amount Coined | Destination |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| 25-26 million dollars | $1,000,000 stays in Mexico | Mostly exported to Japan, India, and other parts of Asia |\n| | | About $7,500,000 goes by way of San Francisco |\n| | | A little less amount goes by way of England, from Liverpool and London, direct to Asia |\n\nThe capacity of the Mexican mints is but twenty-five to twenty-six million dollars. Of this amount, $1,000,000 stays in the Republic of Mexico; all the rest of it is exported. The exportation is almost entirely to Japan, India, and other parts of Asia. Of this export, about $7,500,000 on an average for the last ten years goes by way of San Francisco, a little less amount goes by way of England, from Liverpool and London, direct to Asia, and the rest of it probably goes abroad in the pockets of returning Chinamen or through Chilean or Peruvian ports. Of the amount that is coined, there is already, owing to this demand, not only a scarcity of Mexican dollars, but a scarcity of silver in Mexico for coinage purposes. I saw in one of yesterday's newspapers, the New York Tribune, I believe it was, a telegram from Boston saying: \"A dispatch to the Herald from the City of Mexico says: 'Silver bars refined in the United States from Mexican ore are arriving here for coinage into dollars. Eighty-eight bars have been received, and more are expected. German bullion dealers are talking of sending bar silver here for the same purpose, owing to the increasing demand for Mexican dollars in China, where a scanty supply has hindered trade operations.'\"\n\nThe fact that the supply is insufficient is shown not only by the importation of silver into Mexico for the purpose of being coined, but it is also shown by the fact that certain quantities, not large, of bullion are exported to China.\n\nWe hear much of Chinese mints. There is a mint at Shanghai known as the Royal Chinese Mint. Its business, its surroundings are all shrouded in the greatest mystery. It is in the hands of local mandarins under some contract with the Government. Our consul made a report upon it last year. The only information he could obtain was that there were coined in the mint about 3,000,000 ounces of silver, and out of that amount, there were 10,000,000 ten-cent pieces, which were utilized principally by the natives as buttons. The coinage of the Chinese mint, however, amounts practically to nothing.\n\nChina produces no silver. This bullion goes to China because there are not Mexican dollars enough to do the business, and it is from the fact that Mexican dollars in London and in New York bring a premium from a half per cent to 3 per cent; that the demand is for the Mexican dollar, and the supply is insufficient. The effect of the enlargement of the facilities of Mexico in the coinage of its dollars must be to enlarge our commerce as well as to facilitate the world's commerce with China.\n\nMr. HIGGINS. Will the Senator answer a question at that point?\n\nMr. WOLCOTT. With pleasure.\n\nMr. HIGGINS. I ask if the premium on Mexican dollars is not owing to the Chinese demand?\n\nMr. WOLCOTT. It is owing to the Chinese demand—not the Indian, but the Asiatic demand for dollars.\n\nMr. HIGGINS. They are not to be used in this country?\n\nMr. WOLCOTT. They are wholly for shipment to Asia. Our commerce with China is already great. Our exports to China last year were $3,900,000; our imports were upwards of $20,000,000; of which sum $5,000,000 were dutiable and some $15,000,000 were free.\n\nIf these dollars shall be coined at our mints at Carson City and at San Francisco, it will create something of an active silver market on the Pacific coast, and where the dollars are, the facilities for shipment and commerce will go also. There will be a demand for these dollars from London merchants and from English and from Scotch merchants. They will lend gold to this country in exchange for the dollars which will be shipped direct, and it will add much to the steamship commerce between the Pacific coast and Asia. Many of these dollars will find their way into the Indian market. They are handy; they will up country be remelted and made into bangles and ornaments. There is always a certain demand in India also for Mexican dollars.\n\nThe total commerce of China has of late years assumed enormous importance. Her foreign commerce last year consisted of £27,000,000 of imports and £25,030,000 of exports. These exports are rapidly increasing in volume and in value and are very much facilitated, as I have said, by the action of England toward her colonies in India.\n\nThe attitude of Great Britain is most pregnant with interest in this country, for no matter what may be our legislation, the attitude of Great Britain toward India, the prices at which her wheat and jute and cotton are to be sold, the facilities of the exchange into English money, must ever materially affect the prices of those products in this country which we raise in competition with that great people.\n\nThe present policy which Great Britain is following towards India... She is animated naturally by her own selfish interest. The products of India and the products of China are much alike, and whatever we can do to upbuild the commerce of Asia at the expense of the commerce of India must be to our advantage as showing England where her interests lie.\n\nPage 180\nPage 181\n\nWe are met with the threat that England may sell her silver bullion on hand. It has been recently suggested by the English press that the 20 crores of bullion, or the 80,000,000 ounces of silver, which England has on hand in India may be sold. If that unfortunate occurrence should take place, there is no doubt that the price of silver would be further depreciated; there is no doubt that it would add to the already untold disasters which have overtaken the world because of the abandonment of silver; but I venture the prediction that England will never take that step, for when she does that, she makes valueless hundreds and thousands of millions of dollars of bonds, the principal and interest of which are payable in gold, which silver-using countries have borrowed of her. Let her sell her silver on hand in India and you will find every silver-using country on earth repudiate every gold payment it owes; and 90 per cent of those payments are due to Great Britain.\n\nThe Indian government collects its revenue in silver rupees; the revenue collected since last June and remaining in the treasury amounts to some 20 crores of rupees—in other words, to some 80,000,000 ounces of silver. There are some 4,000,000 ounces to the crore. The crore is an East Indian word signifying 10,000,000, and 10,000,000 rupees mean something over 4,000,000 ounces of silver. These 80,000,000 ounces of silver are now locked up in the English treasury in India, making a scarcity of actual rupees for commerce in India.\n\nNow, the demand for these rupees, through sales of so-called \"council drafts\" in London, is the demand of English importers of Indian wheat, cotton, and jute, who require silver rupees to pay for their purchases from Indian farmers. But the government of India, by closing the mints, has said: \"You can not any longer pay rupees by buying silver from America, or elsewhere and coining it in Bombay, therefore you must now buy these rupees from our government treasuries, and at whatever price we fix.\" True, the value of the silver in the rupee is now only 22 cents per rupee, but they will not sell their coins, their \"council drafts,\" for less than 28 cents per rupee; either take them at that price or leave and go out of business. This result has followed from this policy of coercion. China, for example, is getting silver—is getting Mexican dollars—for what she sells in Europe at their bullion value, but the Indian exporter is finding that the present artificially high price charged by the government of India for the rupee is giving the China exporter a great advantage he never got before.\n\nLet me illustrate this point carefully. In India, the government has fixed the value of the rupee at 28 cents, while the value of a corresponding weight of silver in China, say two-fifths of an ounce, is 23 cents. Now, if we suppose 1 pound of tea in India costs 1 rupee, then the Indian grower can sell some 17 pounds of tea for the gold sovereign. But the Chinaman can afford to sell 23 pounds of tea for the sovereign. As this argument applies to most of India's exports, the balance of trade since the closing of the mints has gone strongly against India, and is greatly favoring China; and just as the rise in the Indian rates of exchange and the fall in the China rates has thrown the balance of trade against India and is favoring China, so also the fall in the rate of exchange between the silver-using countries and Europe since 1873 has tended to destroy our favorable balance of trade with gold-using Europe, by stimulating the trade in wheat and cotton from Asia at the expense of our exports of these staples.\n\nThe question of the production of silver is not to be settled by by attempting to further degrade and dishonor it. Many of us have taken the position here on the floor of the Senate for years, that even if we rehabilitated silver and restored the old free coinage at the ratio of 16 to 1, the production of silver would not be increased. We have said that the rise in prices, the rise in wages, the limited and narrowing area for the discovery and development of silver mines, would prevent in any event the further and larger development and output of silver ores. Mr. President, there has lately been borne in upon us a different condition of facts.\n\nWe now face another proposition. Every one of these estimates has been based upon the assumption that silver alone depreciated. But one lesson that we are painfully and slowly, but surely, learning to-day, is that not only has the price of silver depreciated or the price of gold appreciated, but that wages are decreasing, that the cost of the necessaries of life is decreasing, that the food the miner eats and the clothes he wears are growing less in cost, that the cost of machinery for the development of mines is less, that the cost of making roads is less, that the traffic upon the railroads will bear less, and out of the misery of it all, there must come the inevitable fact that, as silver declines in value, so men with mouths to feed will be found to produce it for less wages.\n\nOur furnaces are cold, our fires are out, our mines are most of them closed; those which are kept open are kept open in order to prevent the timbers from rotting and the waters from flooding the mines; yet when these miners—intelligent men who have up to this time found work at prices which remunerated them and enabled them to add to the glory of American manhood, to educate their children, to feed them and to own their own homes—find that the monetary policy of this country prevents their receiving these wages, and that it is starvation or nothing—\n\nSo, following this, I desire to call the attention of the Senate briefly to an Indian opinion as to the effect which is being produced in India by the floundering policy of the English Government towards India. I read very briefly from some recent remarks by Hon. Robert Steel, who is the commercial member of the viceroy's council in India. In an address which he delivered at the meeting of the Bengal Chamber of Commerce, he says:\n\n\"We may now judge of the result of the closing of the mints. The secretary of state can not sell his council bills. The balance of trade has disappeared. Exchange is falling, and there seems to be no chance of the downward course being arrested until we reach the metallic value of the rupee. Money is at 6 per cent, and may go much higher, but the exchange banks, in view of the further expected fall in exchange, will not bring out one rupee more than the amount they absolutely require to pay for the bills they have bought. By the presence of dear money and the prospect of still dearer money, trade is paralyzed. The fact is that the action of government in closing the mints has caused silver to fall to a lower point than it otherwise would have done, and yet it appears that whether the mints are closed or open, there is no chance that council bills can be sold on the scale of our requirements until exchange reaches the bullion point.\n\n\"Our trade is paralyzed\" in the hope of relieving the embarrassments of government, and yet the departure from a sound currency system is making the position of government worse than it was before. The present course can not be persevered in long. We can not go on borrowing gold and piling up money in our treasuries here today of reckoning must come, and can not be far off. We in English statesmanship are already pressing the unanswerable charge that the Indian Government has entered into a gigantic speculation in silver. This is serious enough in itself, but when it appears that the speculation is certain to be a losing one, the clamor against it will be irresistible. What then must be done? We are, perhaps, on the eve of a crisis which may give a terrible shock to industry, to commerce, and to credit. We can not prosper without a sound currency acting automatically. Let us open our mints, and we shall again see a wave of prosperity flowing over the land like that which followed in gold-using countries the discoveries of gold in California and Australia fifty years ago.\"\n\nThis, Mr. President, is an intelligent Indian opinion of the ...\n\nMr. SHERMAN. Mr. President, I do not intend to participate in any debate on this question, because I am inclined to think that the passage of the resolution and the undertaking by the President of the United States to negotiate some measure of relief to silver would be at this time a wise measure to pass. I certainly would favor any proposition which would tend to give silver a larger use for commercial or financial purposes. It would be a great benefit to the human race, it would be of vast...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-265 - Public Offices & Others - 1894.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 369422, "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": "CO129-288 - Public Offices & Others - 1898", "page_number": 10, "title": "CO129-288 - Public Offices & Others - 1898", "content_text": "## THE BACK DOOR.\n\n**NOTE BY THE EDITOR OF \"THE STAR OF URUGUAY.\"**\n\nThis document was found amongst the papers of the late Mr Reginald Brooks, after his death in 1916 at Estancia, 'St. Cecilia', near Colonin, and by permission of his executors is now published. It illustrates in miniature in a ominous manner the fatuous state of unpreparedness of what was once believed to be **The powerful British Empire**. The author was apparently one of the residents in Hongkong, who, if not connected with, was apparently intimately acquainted with, the Government of that island, and evidently an old friend of Mr Brooks'. Of Mr Brooks himself, his early life, little was known here, beyond the fact that he was an Englishman, who retired from business in China, probably Hongkong, in 1889, with a large fortune, which was afterwards considerably augmented at the death of a distant relative. The deceased gentleman was passionately fond of yachting, and had apparently frequently revisited, and for long periods, the scenes of his early labours and successes, in his large schooner yacht the `Petrel`. He appears to have left Hongkong, about the time indicated by the author, for an extended cruise in the South Pacific, en route for Valparaiso. On the voyage from the Society Islands the yacht was wrecked on Flint Island, Mr Brooks being the sole survivor. He was rescued from Flint Island by the Peruvian liner `Manco Capac` in 1905, and first learned then of the collapse and downfall of his country. Some two years afterwards it seems he met his friend the author on the Parana; a ruined man, like himself. His (Mr Brooks') marvellous aptitude for languages and magnificent business abilities enabled him speedily to amass a very considerable fortune. He resided principally at St. Cecilia (continuously for the last six years), where he died on the 16th November last, beloved by all who had the privilege of his acquaintance. Of the author nothing is known; probably he disappeared, with many other adventurous spirits, in the stormy year of 1910, during the rebellions of the Italian and German Immigrants. - 16th April, 1917.\n\nOn a ...\n\nwhelming humiliation.

Therefore, in the 5th moon, the British Consul-General was requested to inform the Governor of Hongkong of our intention, and this was done before our official was sent there. If the officer were simply to investigate the emigrants at the time of the steamers' departure as requested in the communication just received, then it would be impossible for him to go into the enquiry in detail. It is much to be feared that Chinese passengers for Peru are not all merchants of substantial means. If such cases should happen, not only the confidence between two friendly nations will be lost, but Chinese commerce will be also affected. The appointment of Prefect Hsueh Ying Nien to Hongkong has no other purpose than the examination of the Chinese who go to Peru, and this is not the only instance of the appointment of a Chinese officer to stay in Hongkong from Kwang Tung Province.

Nevertheless, we believe that the cooperation that Switzerland is able to lend to the Contracting Powers will be almost valueless and this fact seems to render our adhesion to the Opium Convention superfluous.\n\nIndeed, Switzerland, not being a country which produces opium, does not export this drug and consequently has not undertaken to regulate and supervise this exportation; furthermore the use of opium, other than medicinally, does not yet exist here and the morals of our people do not presuppose a change in this regard. Finally, the use of opium and of its alkaloids and also the use of cocaine for medicinal purposes is strictly regulated by our National Pharmacopoeia and by our cantonal laws. Therefore, we do not think it possible to proceed further in this direction than we have done. As regards certain factories of chemical product which manufacture morphine and cocaine, their supervision appertains to the cantonal authorities and the Federal Government is in no way authorized to regulate this matter.\n\nWe therefore believe, as we have above said, that the adhesion of Switzerland to the Opium Convention would be almost valueless under the present circumstances and we beg you so to inform your Government, while presenting to it our sincere thanks for the invitation that it has kindly addressed to us.\n\nAccept, etc.\n\nFor the Swiss Federal Council:\n\nThe President of the Confederation,\n\nFORRER.\n\nThe Chancellor of the Confederation, SCHATZMANN.\n\nMR. MOSSELMANS, Chargé of the Netherlands,\n\nBerne.\n\n276", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-406 - Public Offices - 1913.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 455006, "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": "CO129-423 - Governor Sir May - 1915 [7-8]", "page_number": 399, "title": "CO129-423 - Governor Sir May - 1915 [7-8]", "content_text": "395 \n\nA search was conducted by Police under warrant of the dwellings of both these gentlemen and of the Peruvian Consular Offices. The search was made under the superintendence of Mr. T. H. King, Assistant Superintendent of Police between the hours of 10 a.m. and 1.30 p.m. on the 22nd ultimo. Nothing suspicious was found at the Consulate or in the rooms of Mr. Cavero. In the rooms of Mr. Layseca, a copy of a letter was found addressed by Mr. Layseca in Spanish to his father, from which I enclose an extract. There were several letters from a German girl in Hamburg, from one of which, dated the 8th December, 1914, I also enclose an extract.\n\nMr. Layseca was formerly Secretary to the Peruvian Consulate in Hamburg. In September, 1914, he was recalled to Lima. He was subsequently transferred to Hongkong.\n\nMr. Cavero arrived recently in Hongkong. Prior to September, 1914, he was Secretary to the Peruvian Embassy at Berlin. In that month, he left Berlin for London. He was recalled to Lima in October. He is said to be engaged to a German lady.\n\n3.\n\nBoth gentlemen made formal protest to the search by Police, and on the 22nd, Mr. Cavero not having then taken over charge of the Consulate, Mr. Layseca addressed the letter, a copy of which is enclosed, to the Colonial Secretary; and on the 29th ultimo, I interviewed both gentlemen in the presence of the Colonial Secretary.\n\n4.\n\nMr. Layseca said, in reply to my questions, that he made use of the address in Canton because he was afraid letters from Germany would not be delivered to him. He said that he was not sure what propaganda Mr. Brahm referred to, but he imagined that it was the contradiction by Peruvians returned from Europe to Peru of the exaggerated accounts published outside Germany of conditions in that country owing to the war, such as shortage of food, anti-war riots, pessimism, etc. With reference to the extracts from his private correspondence which I read to him, Mr. Layseca said that these", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-423 - Governor Sir May - 1915 [7-8].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 455007, "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": "CO129-423 - Governor Sir May - 1915 [7-8]", "page_number": 400, "title": "CO129-423 - Governor Sir May - 1915 [7-8]", "content_text": "396 \n\nThese were only ebullitions in private letters and did not indicate any propaganda. I intimated that the expressions he had used in the letter to his father were not consonant with his position as Acting Consul of a neutral and friendly Power and justified the search which I had with regret ordered.\n\n5.\n\nMr. Cavero explained at very great length in the French language his relations on behalf of the Peruvian Government when in Berlin with the Deutsch Asiatische Bank and the fact that he personally had an overdraft with that Bank. He knew that the Deutsch Asiatische Bank in Hongkong was in liquidation and was under the impression that it would not be possible for him to address the Deutsch Asiatische Bank in Canton from this Colony. Hence the suggestion in the Lima Bank's letter of an accommodation address.\n\nI intimated to Mr. Cavero that I accepted his explanation. The interview then terminated.\n\n6.\n\nOn the following day Mr. Layseca applied for a pass to leave the Colony for Manila on the 3rd of August, which request was granted.\n\n7.\n\nAt present, Mr. Cavero's correspondence will be watched for the future.\n\nI have the honour to be,\nSir,\nYour most obedient,\nhumble servant,\nA.

Mr Mowry visited the West Coast to look over the business situation and left by the \"Mexico City\" to-day. The German Steamer \"Marie\" now in Callao, and which served as a coaling ship of the \"Leipzig\" was originally chartered by the Eng Hok Fong Company to take a cargo of coal from China to Mexico, and was on her way with this cargo when war broke out. A few days before she was due to arrive at port, Mr Mowry received a cable from the Company's main office in Hong Kong stating that the German Government had purchased, and paid for the entire cargo. Later it developed that this cargo was transhipped to the \"Leipzig\" on the high seas.\n\n \n\nWith reference to the above, I have the honour \n\nto point out that the Eng Hok Fong Steamship Company is \n\ngiven as \"of Hong Kong\" and that the Managing Owner's \n\naddress is given in Lloyd's Register as Hong Kong. The \n\nGerman Steamer \"Marie\" was in company with the \"Leipzig\" \n\nfor some time, and was one of the two colliers at \n\nGallapagos Islands on 23rd September with that cruiser. \n\nIn addition to the cargo of coal referred to above, the \n\n\"Marie\" also received a cargo of coal ex S.S. \"Mazatlan\" \n\nat Guaymas and this coal was also delivered to \"Leipzig\". \n\nThe \"Mazatlan\" was originally a German Steamer (name not \n\nknown) and transferred since the war to Mexican owners. \n\nThe \"Marie\" was subsequently interned by the Peruvian \n\nAuthorities on arriving at Callao with the crew of the", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-426 - Public Offices - 1915.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 458234, "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": "CO129-428 - Public Offices - 1915", "page_number": 327, "title": "CO129-428 - Public Offices - 1915", "content_text": "Any further communication on the subject, please quote No. 187895/15, and address The Under Secretary of State, Foreign Office.\n\nREC 59664 REG 28 DEC 15 FOREIGN OFFICE December 25 1915.

Moreover, since the invention of synthetic cocaine, the forcing up of the prices of coca leaf would certainly lead to the appearance of this artificial product on the market as a saleable article.\n\n3.\n\nIt was urged that it was easier to control manufacture of the drugs than to control export of the raw material.\n\n4.\n\nIt was thought by one of the members that experience in his country had shown that rationing factories was perfectly possible.

Chung Tam Kwong 22-3-1934 - 14-12-1934", "content_text": "## \nEast's \"Pleas of the Crown\" (1803), Vol. II, p. 796, defines the offence of piracy by common law as \"the commission of those acts of robbery and depredation upon the high seas which, if committed on land, would have amounted to felony there.\" This definition would exclude an attempt at piracy, because an attempt to commit a crime is, with certain exceptions, not a felony but a misdemeanour.\n\nTheir Lordships were also referred to Scottish textbook writers, including Hume (1757-1838) *Scottish Criminal Law* (1797) and Alison (1792-1867), *Scottish Criminal Law* (1832), where similar definitions are to be found. It is sufficient to say with regard to these English and Scottish writers that as was to be expected they followed in some cases almost verbatim the early concept, and the criticism upon them is:\n\n(1) that it is obvious that their definitions were not exhaustive;\n(2) that it is equally obvious that there appears to be from time to time a widening of the definition so as to include facts previously not foreseen;\n(3) that they may have overlooked the explanation of the statute of Henry VIII as given by Coke and quoted above, and have thought of piracy as felony according to common law whereas it was felony by civil law.\n\nIn \"Archbold's Criminal Pleading\" (28th Edition, 1931) will be found a full conspectus of the various statutes on piracy which have been from time to time passed in this country defining the offence in various ways and creating new forms of offence as coming within the general term piracy. These, however, are immaterial for the purpose of the case because it must always be remembered that the matter under present discussion is not what is piracy under any municipal Act of any particular country, but what is piracy jure gentium. When it is sought to be contended as it was in this case, that armed men sailing the seas on board a vessel without any commission from any state, could attack and kill everybody on board another vessel sailing under a national flag without committing the crime of piracy unless they stole, say, an article worth sixpence, their Lordships are almost tempted to say that a little common sense is a valuable quality in the interpretation of international law. This appears to be recognised in the \"Digest of Criminal Law,\" by the distinguished writer, Sir James Fitzjames Stephen (1829-94), 7th Ed., 1926, at p. 102. At the end of the article on piracy it is stated that \"it is doubtful whether persons cruising in armed vessels with intent to commit piracy are pirates or not,\" but in a significant footnote, it is added that \"the doubt expressed at the end of the article is founded on the absence of any expressed authority for the affirmative of the proposition and on the absurdity of the negative.\"\n\n## \nMurray's Oxford Dictionary (1909) defines a pirate as \"who robs and plunders on the sea, navigable rivers, etc., or cruises about for that purpose.\"\n\nIt may now be convenient to turn to American authorities, and first of all Kent (1826).

It is sufficient to say with regard to these English and Scottish writers that, as was to be expected, they followed in some cases almost verbatim the early concept, and the criticism upon them is:\n\n(1) that it is obvious that their definitions were not exhaustive;\n(2) that it is equally obvious that there appears to be from time to time a widening of the definition so as to include facts previously not foreseen;\n(3) that they may have overlooked the explanation of the statute of Henry VIII as given by Coke and quoted above, and have thought of piracy as felony according to common law, whereas it was felony by civil law.\n\nIn *\"Archbold's Criminal Pleading\"* (28th Edition, 1931) will be found a full conspectus of the various statutes on piracy which have been from time to time passed in this country defining the offence in various ways and creating new forms of offence as coming within the general term piracy. These, however, are immaterial for the purpose of the case because it must always be remembered that the matter under present discussion is not what is piracy under any municipal Act of any particular country, but what is piracy jure gentium. When it is sought to be contended, as it was in this case, that armed men sailing the seas on board a vessel without any commission from any state, could attack and kill everybody on board another vessel sailing under a national flag without committing the crime of piracy unless they stole, say, an article worth sixpence, their Lordships are almost tempted to say that a little common sense is a valuable quality in the interpretation of international law. This appears to be recognised in the *\"Digest of Criminal Law,\"* by the distinguished writer, Sir James Fitzjames Stephen (1829-94), 7th Ed., 1926, at p. 102. At the end of the article on piracy, it is stated that \"it is doubtful whether persons cruising in armed vessels with intent to commit piracy are pirates or not,\" but in a significant footnote, it is added that \"the doubt expressed at the end of the article is founded on the absence of any expressed authority for the affirmative of the proposition and on the absurdity of the negative.\"\n\n7 \n\nMurray's *Oxford Dictionary* (1909) defines a pirate as \"one who robs and plunders on the sea, navigable rivers, etc., or cruises about for that purpose.\"\n\nIt may now be convenient to turn to American authorities, and first of all Kent (1826). In his *Comm. I. 183*, he calls piracy \"a robbery or a forcible depredation on the high seas without lawful authority and done animo furandi in the spirit and intention of universal hostility.\"\n\nWheaton, writing in 1836, *Elements Pt.

Chung Tam Kwong 22-3-1934 - 14-12-1934", "content_text": "## Piracy in International Law\n\nThe law of piracy is based on the law of nations and reference to the law of England. It must be carefully noticed that the municipal policy of a particular state may treat as piratical acts (e.g., the slave trade) which do not bear that complexion by the law of nations. Piracy in international law is commonly defined by writers as the offence of depredating on the seas [Bynkershoek adds \"or land\" (Quæst. Jur. Pub. lib. i, c.xvii). The extension is reasonable when the acts are performed by persons descending on the land from the sea.] without being authorised by any sovereign state, or with commissions from different sovereigns at war with each other. [Wheaton (ed. Phillipson), p. 204 cf. the various authorities that are cited in the American case, United States v. Smith (1820) 5 Wheaton, 157]. But both this definition and that of Sir Charles Hedges are too narrow, in that they imply that animus furandi is essential; whereas the essential characteristic of piracy is that the acts complained of are done without the authority of a sovereign state or a politically organised society, and for private ends, and 'robbery' or depredation is not necessarily an ingredient of the offence. As Sir L. Jenkins has it: [Works, vol. ii, p. 714: cited Wheaton, l.c. p. 205n] \"The law distinguishes between a pirate who is a highwayman and sets up for robbing, either having no commission at all or else hath two or three, and a lawful man of war that exceeds his commission\".\n\nThe definition given above makes it impossible to treat as pirates the bearers of letters of marque. A tendency has been shown from time to time to extend the definition so as to comprehend such persons, but however objectionable the practice of issuing privateer commissions to foreigners was (for privateering has been abolished by the Declaration of Paris, 1856), the bearers were clearly not pirates, insomuch as they had behind them a politically organised and responsible society.\n\nThe doctrine above set forth was much discussed in the case of The Huascar. In 1877, in the course of a revolution in Peru, the crew of the Huascar seized the vessel and committed acts of violence on some British steamers. The Peruvian Government by decree repudiated all responsibility for the acts of the ship. Under these circumstances, the British commander in the Pacific, regarding the acts of the Huascar as piratical, engaged her in an indecisive encounter. The Peruvian Government then made a demand for satisfaction on the untenable ground that the acts of the Huascar did not amount to piracy. Piratical in the vulgar sense they certainly were not, but they were most clearly so within the meaning of international law. So far from there being a responsible, there was not even a belligerent society behind the vessel. She stood completely alone [Parl. Papers, Peru, No. 1, 1877].\n\n### Phillimore's International Law 2nd Edition Vol. I, p. 411\n\n\"CCCLVI. To whatever country the Pirate may have originally belonged, he is justiciable everywhere (a); his detestable occupation has made him hostis humani generis, and he cannot upon any ground claim immunity from the tribunal of his captor. With professed Pirates (Lord Stowell says) there is no state of peace. They are the enemies of every country, and at all times; and therefore are universally subject to the extreme rights of war (b). The Pirate has, in fact, no national character. captures made by them affect ownership, the rule of law being that a piratis capta dominium non mutant. Piracy is an assault upon vessels navigated on the high sea, committed animo furandi, whether the robbery or forcible depredation be effected or not, and whether or not it be accompanied by murder or personal injury\".\n\n## RECORD\n\nCase for the Secretary of State for the Colonies.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-547-8 Piracy- case of Rex v.
