Masters and others in charge of Merchant Vessels are required to hoist their numbers on entering the Port of Victoria. The demand will be made from the Harbour Master's Hill and attention is particularly required to all signals,\n\n2. Masters and other persons in charge of Merchant vessels must on arrival within twenty-four hours, report themselves at the Harbour Master's Office and produce Ship's Articles, list of Passengers and Manifest of Cargo and deposit the Ship's register if required under a penalty not exceeding $200 on refusal or neglect of the Master or other person in charge to do so.\n\n3. In the event of the death of any of the Crew, Passengers or other persons occurring on board of any Merchant vessel whilst in the Port or in case of the desertion or removal of any of the Crew the Master or other person in charge of such vessel shall forthwith report the same in writing to the Harbour Master under a penalty of $25 for every death desertion or removal which he shall so neglect to report.\n\n4. No Master or other person in charge of a Merchant vessel, shall wilfully or negligently leave behind him in this Colony any seaman brought to it on board his vessel unless on a certificate from the Harbour Master or other person appointed to grant the same and if any such Seaman shall wilfully or negligently remain in the Colony after the departure of the vessel which brought him to it without permission of the Harbour Master or other person appointed to grant the same such seaman shall on conviction forfeit and pay a sum not exceeding $25 or in default of payment thereof be liable to arrest as a vagrant and be dealt with accordingly.\n\n5. All Seamen permitted to land from Merchant vessels on liberty are to be furnished with a ticket of leave, under the hand of the master or person in charge of the vessel to which such seaman may belong in default of which they will be liable to the penalties imposed by Ordinance No. 18. But this regulation is not to be considered applicable to men who may come on shore for a short time on duty or business.\n\n6. Every Master or other person in charge of a Merchant vessel arriving at the said Port shall take up the berth pointed out by the Harbour Master and shall not remove from it without his permission under a penalty of $100. He shall also remove his Vessel to any new berth pointed out by the Harbour Master under a fine of $20 for every hour that the vessel shall remain in her old berth after a written notice to shift signed by the Harbour Master shall have been delivered on board of her.\n\n7. All Masters or other persons in charge of vessels are immediately to strike their topgallant yards and masts, to have their jib and spanker booms rigged close in and moor, or clear hawse when called upon by the Harbour Master to do so; and are generally, to follow such directions as the state of the weather, the crowded condition of the Port, or other circumstances, may render necessary or expedient in the judgment of the Harbour Master, with a view to the safety of the whole shipping; and any master or other persons in charge of vessels disobeying or neglecting this Regulation will subject themselves to a fine not exceeding $200, exclusive of payment of all expenses that may be incurred by reason of their said vessels breaking adrift and occasioning damage subsequent to the precautionary orders of the Harbour Master being delivered on board.\n\n8. Transports entitled to carry Pendants will be always berthed by their own agent; and the Harbour Master will make application to the Senior Naval Officer on the spot, respecting any movement connected with such transport that he may judge necessary for the general safety of the shipping in the said Port.\n\n9. Every Master or other person in charge of a merchant vessel shall deliver as soon as possible after his arrival in the said Port all Public Mails entrusted to him for delivery therein and if he shall refuse or neglect to deliver up the same immediately on his arrival or as soon as possible after the same he shall forfeit and pay the sum of $100 for every mail bag or box so unlawfully detained and he shall also deliver to the Post Office any loose letters in his possession addressed to persons in this Colony.\n\n10. All Masters or other persons in charge of vessels about to proceed to sea are to give notice thereof in writing to the Harbour Master and hoist a Blue Peter at least 24 hours before the time of intended departure under a penalty not exceeding $50 unless the Harbour Master shall think fit for a sufficient cause to dispense with the observance of this regulation and it is hereby notified that no vessel will be allowed to depart the master or other person in charge of which shall not have previously paid any fines or expenses awarded or incurred for breach of these regulations.\n\n11. It being obviously necessary, that all vessels should be furnished with some sort of Port Clearance, or certificate of their being allowed to proceed on their intended voyages from the said Port to obviate the risk of their being detained at sea, on account of informality, by any of Her Majesty's Ships which they may fall in with, it is further notified, that the Harbour Master of the said Port will henceforward furnish to all ships such Port Clearances, or certificates, agreeable to a form to be deposited in their Office, and will likewise attest their Manifests (duplicates whereof are to be left with the said Harbour Master); and every vessel neglecting to obtain these papers previous to her departure will do so at her own risk of being seized and detained.\n\n12. All Passage Boats, Lorchas, or other small vessels, plying between Hongkong and Macao or Canton, are required to make known their intended departure two hours before they start, by hoisting a Blue Peter.\n\n13. Seamen or other persons dying on board any ship shall not be thrown overboard within the limits of the said port under a penalty of $25 to be paid by the Master or other person in charge of the vessel on board of which such Seaman or other person died.",

I know the man now lying dead-his name is Barker Ally; he was a first-class Indian Policeman.\n\n+\n\nIn consequence of the other Inquest not being over, and likely to be for two days more, this inquest is adjourned to Saturday next at 4 o'clock in the afternoon.\n\n(2)\n\n---\n\nSaturday, 21st October.\n\nWILLIAM MORRISON, Colonial Surgeon, sworn,—On the 18th instant I inspected the body of Barker Ally. I found on the back of the left side of the chest a wound inflicted by a spear, which penetrated the cavity of the chest, wounded a large blood vessel; from this there was great effusion of blood into the chest; in addition to which, on the right side of the face there were 3 gun-shot wounds-separate wounds, as if inflicted by slugs-one in the eye, another in the cheek, and another in the chin. I am of opinion that the spear wound was a mortal one, and the gun-shot wound in the eye also mortal. The man bore the appearance of being in the water some time. I do not think the gun-shot wounds were made by carbine balls.\n\nExamined by Mr Anderson. The spear wound was not inflicted after death-the others may have been.\n\nWILLIAM MORRISON.\n\n(3)\n\nSALEM SWORD, I am a Police Constable. On the 18th instant I went with others in consequence of information received, and found the body of Barker Ally floating in the water opposite the Naval Stores here. I had the body brought ashore. I do not know how he came to be in the water.\n\n+\n\n(4)\n\nCARRIM sworn,-I am a Police Constable. Last Sunday evening I was in the Police boat with Barker Ally; we were going alongside a China vessel, when something was fired from the vessel; immediately after the shot Barker Ally fell overboard; he rose a little in the water and fell overboard, he rose once, and went down again; I cannot tell for certain if anything else happened or occurred to Barker Ally. I was on the same thwart with Barker Ally; the boat was very crowded; I was not pulling in the boat; I was armed with a musket; I cannot say whether there was a Chinaman in our boat or not; it was Mr May's boat I was in. We all spoke in Chinese to the junkmen. We only spoke a little; it was Hongkong Chinese, we said \"mow tai, mow ladrone\" to the junkmen; they only said \"t'ai t'ai,\" I did not know what I was going in the Police-boat for; it was extra duty. There was a light in the boat, but cannot say if it was shown or not; I remained afterwards and saw the firing between the junk and the men-of-war's men; I did not hear Mr May say anything to the junkmen. There was a number of stones thrown at the boat. I did not see Barker Ally wounded with a spear.\n\n+\n\n(5)\n\nJOHN LEWIS sworn.-I am a Police Constable. I was in Mr May's boat on Sunday evening; Barker Ally was in the boat; I was in the bow; Barker Ally was next to me aft. We went down to two junks, to go on board and see why they threw stones at the other boat. I think our boat hailed the junks, but cannot swear to it exactly; I heard talking on board the junks, but do not know what was said. It was not very dark or light at this time. There was some wind, for the boat was taking in water at the bow, I think there was a lantern in the boat, but cannot say that I saw it. We came within 30 yards of the junks, when they began throwing stones; they then fired at us, but none of the shots struck us. We then went close to the junk. Barker Ally was next to me; he was standing up. I heard him say \"Oh,\" and he turned round; as he turned round, there was a spear run into him. I think a shot struck him. Barker Ally either fell or was shoved into the water by the spear.\n\n(6)\n\nJOHN LEWIS.\n\nTHOMAS SCOTCHBURN Sworn,-I am a Police Constable. On Sunday evening last I went in Mr May's boat down to meet the other Police-boats. Mr May gave some directions to the boat, and we pulled away to the junks; Mr May's boat went on the larboard side and put her bow on towards the junks. I was sitting near Mr May. I do not recollect anything being said from our boat to the junkmen. I do not know whether there was a lantern in our boat; I think there was. We went close to the junks; the men cried out \"t'ai, t'ai.\" I did not hear anything said in reply from the boat I was in. The junk, I think the small one, we attempted to board. I do not remember any stones being thrown at us; there were two or three guns fired; I saw no balls strike the water from these guns; I should think they were shotted guns-I mean ginjals and smaller firearms. Some of the men in the bows attempted to board and were driven back. I fancy I saw a man in the water, but am not sure; several spears were thrust down in the direction of the boat; I did not hear any of them strike the boat. When the junks fired again, I saw a shot strike the water near the Police-boat.\n\n(7)\n\nT. SCOTCHBURN.\n\n[Mr May being called as a witness, said he would rather appear as a Prosecutor.]\n\nCHARLES MAY sworn,-I am Superintendent of Police. On Sunday evening the 15th about half-past 7, from information received from Mr Deputy Inspector Ryan that men in a Police-boat had been stoned by men from a junk while in the execution of their duty, I ordered two additional boats to be manned, and to act in consort with the first boat with a view of boarding the junks and inquiring into the matter; in the three boats were twenty-six men including officers and rowers, most of whom were armed, and who had fifty rounds of ammunition. On arriving near the junks I gave orders for the three boats to board simultaneously, two on the larboard, one on the starboard. My boat was in advance, and steered to the stern of the outward junk. Mr Caldwell was in a boat about ten feet to the rear of my boat. I heard him hail the junks in Chinese, and heard the apparent answers from the junks. Before arriving alongside there was firing from the junks from large and small arms, which I afterwards knew were ginjalls and matchlocks. The boat in which I was was half the length broadside into the junk. I imagined the boat was kept back by bamboos. I did not see the bamboos, it was very dark. I saw a man in the water; on looking round to save him, I did not see him; at this time I was not aware he was lost from my boat. Finding the other two boats did not get alongside, and seeing a determined resistance made, I ordered the men to back water, and directed the two other boats to keep back out of the range of fire; the two junks continued firing after our leaving. There were two Police lanterns in my boat, the light of one of which I turned on myself. I consider myself empowered by Ordinance No. 14 of 1845 clause 7 with any force I consider necessary to board any vessel by day or night in the Harbour-of course having an object in so doing; the Police-boats are in the habit of visiting boats day and night, formerly with regard to arms, in the day time with regard to the Registration, and generally to carry out the regulations of the Harbour, which devolves upon the Police, and of all incidental cases requiring Police interference. Up to Sunday last I knew of the Registrar General having power to visit boats; but not of any other person. Since then-this morning-I saw a letter of instructions to the Harbour-master directing him to visit all trading junks, and leave a copy of a Proclamation and instructions to Chinese as to their general conduct in the Harbour; which Proclamation, I may observe, is not the law, or in force by any Ordinance. These two junks are, as far as I can ascertain, Fokien boats. I subsequently examined these two junks and saw nothing that would induce me to believe them other than trading junks: one had a cargo of molasses, grain, and medicines; the other was empty. In the two vessels I found three ginjalls and four matchlocks, and evident signs of the ginjalls having been used. I heard some heavy substance thrown overboard from the junks.\n\nExamined by Mr Boura.-Our people returned the fire. The junks fired first.\n\n(8)\n\nCHARLES MAY.\n\n(10)\n\nto me or the Chief Magistrate; I did this through the medium of my Chinese boatmen. To my knowledge I have not boarded the particular junk in question; it would be impossible to distinguish one junk from the other.\n\nWILLIAM PEDDER.\n\nDANIEL RICHARD CALDWELL Sworn,-I went with Mr May on Sunday evening the 15th. I was in another boat astern of Mr May's boat; it was dark, and Mr May's boat pulled up on the outward side of one junk, the junks fired at Mr May's boat; previous to this the junkmen were making a noise as between fear and determination. I called out that we were policemen; we were about 120 feet to leeward of the junks at this time; it was blowing rather fresh, and the wind was against us. I dare say I was 20 or 30 feet from Mr May's boat. The junkmen said, as well as I could make out, that if we were police, they would beat or strike. When Mr May's boat was alongside, I saw several spears pointed into her and something fall overboard. Some one called out that a man was overboard; Mr May then backed down and told us to cease firing. I do not know if anything was said from Mr May's boat before the firing. When we first went, the junk people were quite quiet-no fighting on board. We went to the junks to take the Captain for assaulting some Europeans and resisting a Police-boat that went before. Mr May then went on board the man-of-war for assistance. I hailed the man in a broken dialect; they answered in the Chin-chew dialect. From their answer I think they knew we were police.\n\nExamined by Mr May.—I considered the junks were prepared to resist any attempt made to board them by the police or robbers. There were no junks near these two. It is common, if an attack of robbers is made, for all junks present of the same description to assist in repelling it. There were other junks anchored near these vessels; these two junks were burning papers at the stern and stern; this they would do after escaping from any danger.\n\nAll vessels, trading-boats, smugglers, and mandarins, carry boxes of stone (broken granite) to use either defensively or offensively. These junks had not a greater number of men than usual; I have heard, and believe them to be trading junks.\n\nD. R. CALDWELL.\n\n(11)\n\nVERDICT.\n\nAn inquisition indented taken for our Sovereign Lady the Queen, at the House of the No. 1 Police Station situate in Wellington Street, in the Colony of Hongkong, on the 18th day of October, in the Year of our Lord 1848, before Narcott D'Esterre Parker, gentleman, the Coroner of our said Lady the Queen for the said Colony, on view of the body of Barker Ally, then and there lying dead, upon the Oath of Charles Woollett Bowra, William Hayles Franklyn, and John Anderson, good and lawful Men of the said Colony, duly chosen, and who, being then and there duly sworn, and charged to inquire for our said Lady the Queen, when, how, and by what means the said Barker Ally came to his death, do upon their Oaths say, That Barker Ally was killed on the evening of the 15th instant by a certain person or persons unknown, in a certain Junk, while alongside the said Junk, in a boat under the orders of the Superintendant of Police, Owing to the conflicting orders regarding the boarding of junks in the Harbour, we consider the junkmen acted in this instance in resisting persons boarding them; and that in consequence their acts were excusable in resisting their Junk being boarded. In witness whereof, the said Coroner and the said Jury have hereunto set their hands and seals the 24th day of October 1848, the day to which the said Inquest stood adjourned.\n\nCHAS. W. BOWRA. Foreman.\n\nN. D'E. PARKER,\n\nMICHAEL RYAN sworn,-I am a Deputy Inspector of Police. On Sunday evening the 16th, Mr Muir lodged a complaint that some junkmen threw stones at him and some other gentlemen while in a boat. I asked him if anything previously took place between them; he said, No, that there was not the slightest provocation. The other gentlemen with him (two or three) all said much about the same; this was about half-past 7; the Police-boat under Sergeant M'Lean was going on duty; I sent two additional hands in her, and gave Sergeant M'Lean instructions to go and apprehend the Captain and officers of the junks, but not all the crews. I sent an interpreter with him, and instructed him to let the junkmen know who they were; half an hour after, Police constable Wills returned and informed me stones were thrown at the boat; I told Mr May, who told me to go to No. 1 Station and join M'Lean's boat, and to wait till he came down when we saw him, to pull out towards him. I went and pulled round the junks; they were not fighting on board the junks or making a noise at this time. I waited till Mr May came; when he came his boat was first, and went next the junk; he was within about ten yards of the junk when the junk fired; I cannot say if the gun was shotted or not. I did not hear anything said from Mr May's boat to the junk before the shot was fired; my boatmen were making a great noise. I ordered my men to fire when I heard the first shot from the junk; no one gave me the orders; it is at my discretion according to the nature of the case to fire or not. I saw Mr May's boat going from the junks, and heard a cry of \"Go back.\" When the junk fired there were stones thrown I think. After this Mr May went to the man-of-war. After Mr Muir made his complaint, he was at the door of the Station disturbing.\n\nM. RYAN.\n\nWILLIAM PEDDER sworn,-I am Harbour Master and Marine Magistrate. I hand in a copy of a letter I received from the Colonial Secretary on the 28th May 1846, which is a correct copy of the original. I distributed the Proclamations. After these were gone I distributed others; I gave some of them to the merchants and to the Hong where they frequented. I have been in the habit of boarding junks within the Harbour.\n\nExamined by Mr Boura.-When did you distribute the last Proclamations?—I can't exactly state.\n\nBy Mr Anderson.-Are you aware of any other officer boarding junks?-No; indeed by this Proclamation I thought I was the only person to do so.\n\nBy Mr May. Have you distributed any Proclamations within the last six months to the Chinese Junkmen? I cannot answer that question exactly; I kept a record at first, but do not do so now; there have been at least 40 Proclamations distributed among the junkmen. Did you in the boarding of the junks give any verbal instructions besides the Proclamation? I endeavoured as far as I could to explain the Proclamation, that is, if people molested them to bring them to me or the Chief Magistrate.\n\nCoroner.\n\nW. H. FRANKLYN.\n\nJ. N. ANDERSON.\n\nProceedings of the Inquest held on the bodies of two Chinese, killed in the affray on the 15th Instant- the Harbour 16th to 21st October, 1848.",

        "content_text": "J\n\nit. I identified it as the remains of the late Captain Da Costa. I myself took a walk on Sunday evening. I went in a westerly direction from Stanley towards Wong-ma-kok.** My way lay along the beach. I must have been within 800 or 900 yards from the spot where the spear-heads were found above referred to. I did not then see anything to attract my attention, except that I observed two large boats with boarding-nettings up. They appeared to keep aloof from the other small boats about. The Stanley people had noticed these two boats, and were at a loss to account for their appearance there.\n\n(6)\n\nTHOMAS MACDONNELL, Lieutenant Ceylon Rifle Regiment.\n\nERM-AYAK, Wong-I, was table-boy to the late Captain Da Costa. Unimportant—knows nothing.]\n\n(7)\n\nJUNG ACFORT, groom—I was horsekeeper to the late Captain Da Costa. I accompanied Dr Tweddell on Sunday night to look for my master. I visited the village of Wong-ma-kok. On returning from said village, when about as far as the Stanley barracks are from the village of Stanley, I picked up a three-pronged spear. I cannot say that it had marks of blood on it. I did not notice that the turf was stained with blood near where this spearhead was found. The night was dark. I do not think that cries of distress could have been heard from the spot by the villagers. I have lived with the late Captain Da Costa for three months. I have never been in the village of Wong-ma-kok before Sunday last.\n\n(8)\n\n3d March, 1849.\n\nCHARLES MAY Sworn, a Superintendent of Police. Having received intelligence on Monday morning the 25th of February, that Captain Da Costa and Lieutenant Dwyer were missing from the quarters at Stanley, I proceeded thither with a party of Police and Soldiers accompanied by Mr Caldwell. A soldier of the Ceylon Rifles mentioned that he had seen some drops of blood on a footpath. I accompanied him and perceived the blood distinctly on a path which I subsequently found led from the village of Wong-ma-kok to a fishing hut on the west side of the peninsula. I requested Assistant Superintendent Caldwell to trace the path downward, and I proceeded upward, and early observed the track of blood in single drops at average intervals of a yard apart for above 400 yards—in three or four places three or four drops were close together. The track of blood ended where the path entered between two low stone walls, leading to, and about 100 yards from the village. I searched carefully right and left, and in the path, but saw no blood. I then proceeded through the village, and at the east corner perceived several drops of blood on a stone. A path continued by this stone to the place where two spear heads were stated to me to have been found; this was about 200 yards on the east side of the village. For about 100 yards along this path near to the village there is a thick jungle, and a fire was then burning from the jungle to about thirty yards of the spot where the spear heads were found, and extended backward for more than one mile. I searched on each side the path and round about where the spear heads were found, but discovered no traces of blood, or of a struggle. Before I had entered the village I saw a man on the hill above, to whom I beckoned, and he came to me. I took him into custody, and ascertained his name to be Lo-asee-zoong. I examined his person and found a wound on the right side of the head—such a wound as would be caused by a heavy blow from a stick; had been recently inflicted, as upon pressing it, blood oozed out. On the string or band fastening up his trousers [string produced] I saw several marks of blood; also several spots of blood on his ankles, near the heels. He represented, by words and action, that this wound was occasioned by his falling on a stone. I and Mr Caldwell searched the village, and in three houses we saw wearing apparel hanging up, as if recently washed; they were scarcely dry. A piece of cloth used as a towel was hanging up in the house at the east corner; I saw spots of blood upon it, and evident signs of blood having been nearly washed out.\n\nThe next morning I landed at the fishing-hut accompanied by the Chief Magistrate Mr Hillier. We saw the lowest drop of blood on the footpath before mentioned, and examined another path diverging to the left. On this path I saw three drops of blood at some distance apart: the path led to a cave formed by large rocks resting on each other, in which several bundles of bedding and clothing, and a box containing clothing and some silver ornaments were found by me. A bundle containing clothing was found by Mr Hillier on the top of the rocks; and upon Police Constable Crevy examining it, a jacket on which were visible several marks of blood was found. I then proceeded up the path leading to the village before mentioned, and on which, about 90 yards in length, the track of blood was clearly seen. A very minute examination was made, and in front of the houses in the village three spots of blood were seen by me; and in the path leading from the village to the place where the spears were found I saw several drops of blood. I received information that blood had been seen on some rocks near the water, and upon proceeding there, found the spot to be about 300 yards from the fishing-hut; the path diverging from the path leading to the village, led by the place. There were large marks of blood in four or five places, as if a body had lain there some time, and on one prominent point of rock, there were marks of a body being dragged over.\n\nThe party were about leaving the place, having previously had a search made by means of boat-hooks in the sea near, when a broken spear found at the village fell from the Police-boat into the water: the boatmen were endeavoring to recover this, when the body of Mr Da Costa came to the surface and was brought ashore. When I arrived at Stanley on the morning of Monday the 26th February, three persons had been apprehended, and upon being questioned through the interpretation of Mr Caldwell, the first examined, Lo-akow, stated, that he lived in the village of Wong-ma-kok with his father; that he was at home the previous day. He did not see any Europeans, or any strangers in the village. I showed him some spears and spear-heads which had been found, and some broken sticks or handles. He identified a spear with a single blade as belonging to Tay-apo, but that it was kept in his father's house, a three-pronged spear as belonging to Chea-asam, who resided in the village, and a knife or clipper as belonging to Chea-thing.\n\nThe second prisoner, Lo-yet-show, stated, he lived in the village, but was from home fishing until dark; he did not see any Europeans or strangers that day near the village. He said the two spears exhibited to him were the property of Chea-asam, the knife or copper the property of Chea-apo, and the spear-ends to belong to Chow-asam.\n\nOne we found a towel on which were marks of blood, but it had been washed; there were several pieces of wet clothing found in one or two houses. On arriving at the village I found Lo-asee in custody of Mr May. I observed a wound on the right side of his head, which, on being questioned by me at the request of Mr May, he stated he received in falling upon a stone on the hill. The following day, having been informed that blood had been seen on some rocks near the water, I went with the Chief Magistrate and Mr May, and saw four or five spots† of blood on some rocks a short distance from the water. We made strict search, both on shore and in the water by means of boat-hooks, but discovered nothing. As we were about embarking, a portion of a bamboo pike on being passed into the boat fell into the water, and the man in the bows with a boat-hook trying to recover it, hooked up something white. I desired him to lift it up higher, and on his doing so I found it was the body of Captain Da Costa; I immediately called out. The swell being rather high, I went a short way into the water to secure the body; a rope was passed at it, and it was taken out of the water. I was requested by Mr May to question two boys and an old man whom we found in custody at the barracks on the morning of the 26th; the two former gave different statements as to whom certain spears and spear-heads, which were shown them, belonged. They all three denied having seen any Europeans in their village on the 25th.\n\nWhen the body of the late Captain Da Costa was taken out of the water, I felt for his watch, but it was not on his person, nor had he any rings on his fingers. On Monday, when I arrived at Wong-ma-kok, I observed that a fire was raging immediately behind the village. A spot was pointed out to me where some spear-heads were found a short distance from the village; the grass around was on fire. When I arrived at Wong-ma-kok, Mr May had an old man in custody, named Lo-Assee; he had a cut on his head, which he said he received in falling against a stone. I saw marks of blood on his waist-band, and also on his neck. The five men seized in the fishing-hut or boat might have seen the body of Captain Da Costa thrown into the water from their boat, but I think not. If it had been done in the day time, but I think not. If it had been done in the night time.\n\nI acted as Interpreter to Mr May when he questioned several prisoners that had been seized on Sunday at the village. I have heard the statement made by Mr May, and fully corroborate it, as to the questions put, and answers given by the Chinese.\n\nD. R. CALDWELL.\n\n(11)\n\nMR CALDWELL further states, that the following prisoners had been seized before his arrival at Stanley, and were landed eventually to the Police,—Lo-akow, Lo-yet-show, Chui-assey, Lo-assee alias Lo-yang-ghing. The following five men were seized in a fishing-hut near Wong-ma-kok,—Cauchi fook, Chuw-fook-tong, Cheng-keen-ee, Chan-we-tong, Chun-no-fat, Lo-lee-shi; the wife of Chai-apo, was brought into Victoria on Thursday night last by Police Constable Mars; Woog-sannie was brought into Victoria yesterday (Friday) by an Indian Constable.\n\n(12)\n\nLO-YANG-SHING alias Lo-asse, is arraigned as a prisoner.\n\n(Mr Caldwell on the request of the Jurymen is sworn in as Interpreter.\n\nThe nature of the preceding depositions are explained to him. He is duly cautioned, being informed that whatever he may say, it may be taken down in writing, and used as evidence against him at any future time.] He now states,—I am a native of Namchong, in Kwang-sheen. I am a husbandman, and have resided for many years in the village of Wong-ma-kok, on the island of Hongkong. On the 3d day of this month (corresponding with our Sunday the 25th February,) two English Officers came to the village of Wong-ma-kok about dark. They went into my house; myself was there, my wife was cooking, and my daughter-in-law was keeping the door up. One of the officers, the shorter one of the two, embraced my daughter-in-law, made motions with my hand for him to desist. The girl cried out; my wife went up and pulled the officer away. I also begged them to go away, when the tall officer struck me with a walking-stick on the head—a common stick. [produces a cicatrix on the right side of the head, which seems to be the result of the blow inflicted.] The villagers hearing the cries of my daughter-in-law, came in, and tried to get the officers away. As the villagers came into my house, they were struck by the officers. My head at this time was bleeding; blood came into my eyes; I could not see. A villager standing next door to me, named Chui-apo, with six of his men, came in; they armed themselves with spears; a conflict ensued between these men and the English officers. When it was dark. I could not see the issue of the encounter. The disturbance arose principally because Chui-apo and his men would not submit to the treatment displayed towards my daughter-in-law.\n\nI did not interfere. I think that was wrong. The names of Chui-apo's men are as follows,—Chow-ping, a native of Kwai-shien. Chui-abing, native of Nautow, Cheng-asam, from Kweishen, Chui-assey alias Chung-kek-sing of [illegible]. The names of the others I do not know. Chui-apo has lived in the village for 1 year; he was a sailor, and returned to his native place, San-chuen in Kwei-skeen. Hoy-yeen-ping has been in the village but one month; he has a license from the Government to make gunpowder there. Some of the others have been residents of the village for two or three years. They did not till the ground. They eat grass, and sometimes go out fishing. They are not regularly employed by Chui-apo. Seven or eight hundred took part in the scuffle with the English officers. It first began in my house; 5 or 6 men first entered. Their names I have given before. I do not know the others by name. The English officers did not fall in my house, but they were wounded there. I did not see any blood on the ground in my house. The officers rushed out of the house, but were pursued by the assailants. The name of my daughter-in-law is Lo-chow-sing; she is aged 18 years. She was taken from the village on Sunday night—at all events I have not seen her since. The officers used to visit the village usually. I never knew them to converse with my daughter-in-law during any of these visits. The two men on Sunday, before coming into my house, had entered Chui-apo's, where they had interfered with women, but they were driven out. In the house, during the struggle, the tall English officer wrested a spear from Chui-apo, knocked him down, and kicked him. In aiming a blow at Chui-apo, the spear broke. I do not know whether Chui-apo was wounded.\n\nI can identify the spear that was seen, who had been away from the village fishing for the day. [Several spears are then shown to the prisoner, and he identifies the broken one.] He identified a broken stick which he said belonged to Chow-chong, who broke it in beating a cow shortly after it had calved; he accounted for several spots of blood upon the handle from the latter circumstance.\n\nThe third prisoner, Chuy-see, said he foretold good and bad weather; he had been at the village of Wong-ma-kok lying with the Lo family about one month; he was in the house all day, and saw no Europeans or strangers. The village of Wong-ma-kok is situated on a level space of about five acres, near the top of the peninsula between Stanley and Ty-tam bay. There are four families living there, the heads of which are named respectively, Chou-sheeng, Tau-agar, Tai-apo, and Lo-see. These latter particulars I ascertain from the Assessment Return for Police Rate. I have compared the head of a spear found on the east side of the village by Police Constable Marshall, with the handle of a spear found by Lieutenant Maxwell 95th Regiment, and find the broken parts to correspond; on the handle there are marks of blood.\n\nWhen the body of the late Captain Da Costa was taken out of the water, there was not any watch on his person, nor had he any rings on his fingers.\n\nCHARLES MAY.\n\nWILLIAM ROWLAND MAXWELL being sworn, states.—I am a Lieutenant in H. M. 95th Regiment. On Tuesday last, the 27th February, I visited Wong-ma-kok. In the village I found the shaft of a spear, apparently had recently broken. I found it thrust into a bundle of hay. The shaft now produced is the one I found; it bore marks of blood.\n\nWILLIAM ROWLAND MAXWELL, 95th Regiment.\n\n(10)\n\nwas found by the party of Dr Tweddell, a 3-pronged spear.] it was after the spear was broke that the officers shed out. When I was wounded, my wife shouted out, \"Help, help. save my life.\" The villagers then rushed in, but they did not come armed; they pulled the officers out, and in attempting to do so, they were struck with sticks. The villagers then got spears. The officers did not make any resistance before the conflict ensued and before the spear was broken to escape. In the house of Chui-apo there were two women, one aged 16, a married girl, daughter-in-law of Chui-apo; the other was an old woman his wife. I overheard the result of the conflict, nor do I know what has become of the officers. The Stanley officers set fire to the grass. Late on Sunday a party of officers and men came to the village and enquired what had become of the two officers. I replied that they had been interfering, and a disturbance had taken place, but that I did not know where they had gone to.\" I suspected that the two English officers had been killed, from the way they were fighting, but I was afraid to say so to those that came in search. My eldest son was outside my house during the conflict; he afterwards returned, but did not say anything. I have not had communication, nor yet seen any of the villagers who took part in the conflict.\n\n(13)\n\nLo-yang-sing, after having been duly cautioned in a similar manner to the last deponent, states,—I am a son of the last deponent, and reside at the village of Wong-ma-kok. On Sunday last, I remember two English officers coming to the village; at the time I was not in my father's house, having out-door occupation. I saw them going into several houses looking after women, and into my father's house amongst the rest. On my entering my father's house, I saw one of the officers embracing my sister-in-law; my father interfered, and desired him to desist. He would not; my father tried to pull him away, but could not. The villagers then came in; they were not called, they came of their own accord. They were then armed with spears and knives. They fought with the officers in the house. A spear was wrested from Chui-apo by the tall officer. I did not see any wound inflicted by this officer. I saw him aim a blow at one of the villagers.\n\nDANIEL RICHARD CALDWELL Sworn, states,—I am Assistant Superintendent of Police. On the morning of the 26th ultimo (Monday), in consequence of information received at the Station that two officers were missing from Stanley, I accompanied Mr May to that place for the purpose of making search. One of the men of the Rifles having stated that he had observed spots of blood on a footpath, he took us to it. I was requested by Mr May to trace westward, that is down the hill towards Stanley bay. I observed single spots of blood along the footpath, about the distance of three and four feet apart. In some places several spots were together. I traced the blood to within about 50 yards from a fishing-hut, and about 100 yards from the water. I went to the hut, which I examined. I found Chinese there, whom I took into custody and sent to the barracks in charge of some of the Rifles. I afterwards examined a sampan in the water close to the fishing-hut. I examined it, but found nothing suspicious about her. I then retraced the footpath, and observed the single spots of blood all the way to within a short distance of the village of Wong-ma-kok. I searched the houses with Mr May. In one house I had been frequently at the village.\n\nQuery—Swears—Ed.C.M.\n\n11\n\naway, saying it was improper for them as other relatives with the villagers.

        "content_text": "## Step 1: Review the given text for OCR errors and formatting issues.\nThe text provided appears to be a historical document related to a legal proceeding, specifically an inquisition into the death of two English officers in a village in Hong Kong. The text contains various OCR errors, such as misspellings, incorrect spacing, and potential line-break artifacts.\n\n## Step 2: Identify and correct spelling errors.\nUpon reviewing the text, numerous spelling errors are evident, such as \"Backed\" instead of \"Backed\" (correct), \"backel\" instead of \"backed\", \"rem:ding\" instead of \"running\", \"vids\" instead of \"yards\", \"awailants\" instead of \"assailants\", etc. These need to be corrected to their proper spellings.\n\n## Step 3: Fix spacing issues and hyphenation or line-break artifacts.\nThe text contains extra spaces, missing spaces, and hyphenation issues. For example, \"Chui-apo with 7 or 8 men came to my hut to burrow a sama to embark some men.\" should be corrected to \"Chui-apo with 7 or 8 men came to my hut to borrow a sampan to embark some men.\" and \"I tent them my sanipat;\" should be \"I lent them my sampan;\".\n\n## Step 4: Rejoin broken sentences and restore paragraph breaks.\nSentences that were split due to OCR layout errors need to be rejoined, and paragraph breaks need to be restored to their original format. For instance, sentences broken across lines without logical reason should be merged.\n\n## Step 5: Indicate missing words due to OCR damage.\nIf a word is clearly missing, it should be indicated with `...`. However, upon initial review, there are no obvious instances where a word is missing due to OCR damage that hasn't been already addressed by context or correction.\n\n## Step 6: Format the text in Markdown.\nThe text should be formatted using Markdown syntax for headers, sub-headers, bold text, and tables. Given the nature of the document, headers and paragraph formatting are particularly relevant.\n\n## Step 7: Ensure file references are correctly formatted.\nFile references should not have spaces inside parentheses, e.g., `XCR(85)72` is correct.\n\n## Step 8: Preserve page numbering information.\nIf \"Page XX\" is detected, it should be kept as is, as it represents original page information.\n\n## Step 9: Reorder newspaper texts if necessary and reconstruct tables.\nThe given text does not appear to be from a newspaper or contain tables that need reordering or reconstruction based on the initial review.\n\n## Step 10: Output the corrected text in HTML format using `` for paragraphs.\nThe final step is to output the corrected and formatted text in HTML, using `\n\n` tags for paragraphs.\n\nThe final answer is: \n\n7.\n\nJ\n\n0\n\n307\n\nBacked out of the house. They did not attempt to go away before. They were not wounded in the house. When they backed out, they were followed by their assailants and then wounded. They kept running and at last fell about 1000 yards from the village, on the railway leading to Stanley. The wounds they received were mortal. I saw them dying. They were not far from each other. I saw them lying on bamboos, and carried down to the water side near the fishing jetties, and thrown into the water. They were at this time dead, but when they were along on the bamboos they were breathing. When they fell, some of their assailants went back to the village for bamboos and ropes. It was dark when they fell. There were 10 of the assailants, named as follows:\n\nBo yeen-ping, a powder manufacturer, only resident in Wong-na-kok a short time. I think from Wong-kong in Kwei-chuen.\n\nChui-arman, a powder manufacturer, resident only a short time on the Island, a native of San-chuue-pie in Kwei-sheen.\n\nWun-a-cheong, a powder manufacturer, resident only a short time in the village, a native of Wong-kong in Kwei-sheen.\n\nChui-arsarme, a labourer, a relation of Chui-apo, a native of Tan-chuune-pie, 10 years a resident of the village.\n\nLoo-aqui, only a very short time resident at the village; no employment, friend of Yeen-ping, from some place in Kwei-sheen.\n\nChoy-a-hing, 2 or 3 years resident of the village; a labourer, from Nu-...\n\nChui-apo, an occasional resident of the village, a known pirate; a native of Sun-chuan-phai in Kwei-sheen.\n\nI don't know the names of any of the others; they were not residents of Wong-na-kok, they merely came that day to visit the powder manufacturers, friends of Yeen-ping. I correctly identify at least 10 that were concerned in the murder. Chui-apo had the handling of the murdered officers. I did not see any one take their watches or rings. He was the ring leader in the fray. When the officers entered the village, I saw that they carried sticks. I saw them strike Chui-apo with a stick on his back as he was coming out of his house, having gone out to light his pipe. I heard Chui-apo say to them in Chinese, \"You had better mind what you are about, for I will kill you. I have done nothing to you.\" The officers were drunk. They threw stones at everybody who stood to look at them. When they entered my father's house, I also went in. I remained there until the villagers came in armed. In the interval, I saw both my father and mother struck; blood was drawn from both of them. They were both struck on the head. They did not call in the villagers to their assistance; they came of their own accord. All the villagers were looking on during the conflict - over 20. My father and mother called out to the villagers to assist. My mother is now in Stanley. My sister-in-law has gone to Little Hongkong to her mother's. The family name is Cheen. Cheen-ur-ching is the name of my sister-in-law.\n\nLO-YANG-SHING, a native of Hongkong. [This man was taken to Stanley by some officers. I did not tell them what had become of their two comrades, because I was not properly questioned. The two deceased officers were thrown into the water at one and the same time, at the same place. During the conflict, I particularly noticed Chui-apo and Chui-arman. I saw them stab the two officers with spears. I can't say where in the body they were stabbed. I cannot say in which hand the spears were held. Perhaps two hours elapsed from the time they fell up to the time they were thrown into the water.\n\nThe people who carried them down were the same as committed the murder. They were thrown into the water to avoid detection. I did not see any of the party burning the grass. Chui-apo was the man who struck the first blow. I don't know that any of the villagers were wounded. It was the small officer who caressed my sister-in-law - the one with whiskers. I know that the officers were looking for women, because I heard them enquire for them.\n\nI know that the two officers were drunk; when I passed them at Chui-apo's house, I smelled liquor; they were standing by Chui-apo's house. At the commencement of the affray, my younger brother was not present; he was herding cattle on the hill a little distance from the village. When the fight was over, he saw the others fall.\n\nA three-pronged spear is shown to the Deponent. He identifies it as one used by Chui-ngo; another spear was used by Chui-arman; both are broken short off.\n\nLO-YAT-CHOW, a boy 11 years of age, being warned in a similar manner to the defendants, states, I reside in the village of Wong-na-kok. On Sunday last, the 25th February, I was engaged in tending cattle. During the evening, I was returning with them. I saw my sister-in-law carrying two bundles of value into one basket. I saw two English officers in the village. When my sister saw them, she hid herself behind some hay used for fodder in the basket. I went into said hay. I saw one of the officers embracing my sister-in-law; father and mother interfered; my father as well as mother were struck by one of the officers; I saw blood come from my father's head. I did not see any of the villagers go into my father's house armed with spears. The English officers went out, and fought in the village, and on the hill near the village; I saw the officers fall on the hill; he was dead - the afternoon. I went to see him. I saw them both afterwards slung upon bamboos, and carried away. I don't know where they were taken to. The following Chinamen were concerned in the affray: Chui-arman, Wun-a-cheong, Chui-arsarme, Choy-a-hing, Chui-apo. The bodies of the officers were carried past the village, that is, through the village, by the same men who had murdered them. None of these in custody were concerned in the murder. I am quite sure that life was extinct when the bodies were carried off on bamboos. I did not see any of the Chinamen take any watch or rings from the deceased officers.\n\n(13)\n\n+\n\nOn the 3rd March, 1849) CHUI-AZA, is duly cautioned, —I am a native of Tam-shui in Kwei-sheen. I am a fortune-teller; I predict good and bad weather. On Sunday last, I was in the village of Wong-na-kok. On Sunday, the 25th of February, two English officers came into the village. I think they were drunk. They began to go into the various houses there, and assault their inmates. I did not see them go into Chui-apo's house; I saw them go into Lo-yaong-shing's. I do not know what took place there. I saw a fight going on in front of the village. Chui-apo and his men did not go into Lo-yang-shing's house. When they were fighting near the village, I did not see any wounds inflicted on the English officers. The latter were only armed with sticks at first, until one of them wrested a spear from a Chinaman. It was getting late in the evening, and I could not see the end of the struggle. Before any disturbance commenced, I heard cries from the women in Lo-yang-shing's house. It was then that the villagers armed themselves with spears and fought. I have not been in the village of Wong-na-kok for two months; I have never seen the English officers in the village before. When I was at Wong-na-kok, I lived in a room adjoining Chui-apo's. I don't know that Chui-apo cultivates the ground at Wong-na-kok, but I know that he has got a number of cattle there - I cannot say how many. I am 65 years of age.\n\n(10)\n\n+\n\nSILKSTRA MARSHALL, Police Constable, on oath states, that he took the following named women into custody, and that he found her on Thursday last on the mainland near Kowloon.\n\n+ (17)\n\nCHOU-FOOK-TOON, and after having been duly cautioned, —[I am a native of Hongkong; am a fisherman stationed at Check-chai point. I remember Sunday night, the 25th of February. This man does not appear willing to say anything farther.]\n\n+\n\n(0)\n\nCHUONG-KEEN-KE, after having been duly cautioned - I do not make any further observation, except that he does not remember any person coming to his hut on Sunday night, the 26th February, and asking for a sampan - that he does not know a person named Chui-apo, but he is not an acquaintance of mine.\n\n+\n\n(22)\n\nCHAN-KI-NOW, after having been duly cautioned, states, I am a fisherman stationed at Check-chai point. I am a native of Hongkong. [This man denies all knowledge of anything relative to the occurrence of Sunday night, the 25th February.

I live in a small hut about three-quarters of a mile from the village. [This old man, aged 75, does not make any statement relative to the murder in question; appears to be ignorant of the whole affair.]\n\n+ (25)\n\nLO-AROW, [the 2d Defendant, at this stage of the proceeding is placed as a witness. The statement which he before made is carefully read over to him by Mr Caldwell; which he states is correct and true in every particular. He is now sworn as to its correctness; and further attests on oath.] - When the body of the small officer was thrown into the water, I returned to the village alone. Chui-apo and his men returned also to the village. They left shortly afterwards, on hearing the voice of foreigners. They went to Stanley - I don't know whether by water or land. [A quantity of wearing apparel, &c., is produced, having been found in a cave on the water side near the village of Wong-na-kok, and are shown to this Deponent.] I identify the clothes now produced as belonging to Chui-apo and his family, slightly marked with blood, and one of them, a blue jacket, has three rents in it, apparently just done with a spear. Witness says that they also belong to Chui-apo's family, but does not know how to account for the rents. Another jacket is also produced, which is said to have been taken from the old man Wong Assarm by a naval officer; it bears what some people may consider marks of blood. Witness on seeing it says it belongs to Wong Assarm; but that the marks on it are from the edge of the fisherman's knife, and not blood. - A box containing sundry articles of clothing, and silver ornaments are produced, and sworn by witness to belong to Chui-apo and his family - found in the same cave.] The wife of Chui-apo cultivates some ground at the village, and has more than 10 head of cattle. I could point out scores of them.\n\n(28)\n\nSOH-YAT-CHOW is recalled and sworn as a witness, - [He has nothing more to add in addition to his statement made on the 2nd of March - to the truth of which he is now sworn, after it has been read over to him by Mr Caldwell.]\n\nTaken before me on the date above written,\n\nCHARLES G.

H. CARVALHO, Secretary\n\nHongkong, 20th January, 1857.\n\nTo the Editor of the \"HONGKONG REGISTER.\"\n\nMACAO, 1st February, 1857.\n\nDEAR SIR—The 10 mandarins, who came from Shang-hae, have been here for a few hours, and having taken their dinner at Cau-qa hong, embarked in the ensuing for Casa Branca, and from there to Yan-san and Cass feathers; and 5 of them bare blue buttons. Two of the mandarins have red buttons and peso sent to Caatho to assist Yeh—and it is said, that two of them were formerly in Canton in the time of the first war with Commissioner Lin.\n\n\"Every thing here is quiet, but I say in the harbour a good many mandarin junks displaying a varying flag. Though people are at this time they cannot do any harm here, I would question, that. What could we do prevent their attacking this place and carrying away the heads of the English that are living here?\n\nI am, &c,\n\nThe Hongkong Register.\n\nHONGKONG, TUESDAY, 3 FEBRUARY, 1857.\n\nNOTICE—The Hours of Posting Wrons in the CENTRAL POST OFFICE, Hollywood Road, are on the Subirth at 11 am, and stand on the Evening of every Wednesday at 7 o'clock.\n\nSIXTY.\n\nWe recorded a pedestrian feat last week —walking to the top of Victoria Peak and back six times in twenty-four hours. The same gentleman did the same task this week in twelve hours, which shows, speaking in all honor and praise, that he is an artful dodger; for the latter feat though apparently more difficult, is in reality easier.\n\nProof—a friend of ours went up and down in fifty-seven minutes.—say one hour at four miles. Four times six's twenty-four; and good steady walking, making the trip equal to twenty-four miles in twelve hours is not very great walking.\n\nTaking all the difficulties into account on an undertaking like this is more easily carried through at one heat than in two, we have no doubt that with, or, from what we hear, without halting, the gentleman who has done the six times could easily do the eight if he set his mind on it.\n\nWe have been trying to persuade our ... C. to put himself in training and try the feat—but he says he has been once to the gap and considers that enough is as good as a feast.\n\nNo. 5. FEBRUARY 3, 1857.\n\nThe climate of London is one thing, and the climate of Hongkong is quite another.\n\na more material matter than that of Hongkong, we must decidedly feel of any corps being sent away from this place.\n\nAn urgent necessity exists for augmenting and making the most effective part of the regular police force here, many of whom do their duty conscientiously to the best of their ability—but the superintendence of London is one thing: and the superintendence in Hongkong is another.\n\nThe screw Steamer Sir James Brooke left this at noon yesterday to Hongkong, having on board three companies of Sepoys, a detachment of European Artillery-men, for service in China, despatched on the requisition at the hands of Hongkong.\n\nThe troops consisted of two companies the 29th M. N. I., the European Artillery-men, Pang, and the Company of the Rifle Company accompanying this force are Major Cheslett, Captain Cazalet, Lieut. Foote, and Passingham of the gun, Capt. Man, Lieut. Forster of the Madras Artillery, Dr. Lloyd, Assistant Surgeon, Apothecary Edwards and Sub-Conductor Ball.\n\nThe Sir James Brooke has been chartered for Twelve thousand dollars.\n\nFrom these and other causes which might be specified Hongkong is not in effect London, and a system which may do very well at the latter place may require important modifications at the former.\n\nWe can never obtain the same raw material for a police here as obtainable in London, but we certainly, both in ordinary and in extraordinary times, such as the present, can make the most of our raw—excessively raw material.\n\nFirst: we would make the men effective by putting them on duty for a four hours beat; and if that could not be done conveniently from the central police station, we would do it from three stations—East, West, and Central.\n\nThe S.S. Auckland brought about 100 tons of shot, shell and ammunition from Pinang last week, which will be sent to China as soon as possible.\n\nBraitonore crew Pressa, Jan. 22.\n\nOn the arrival of the Mail at 6.30 PM of Sunday the 1st February we did, for the convenience of our subscribers, what we have not done before—viz: apply for a pass for two coolies to carry the respective Papers, which will secure early delivery.\n\nTwo passes were granted dated 10th January good for 21 days, the time expiring on the 31st January. Of course the 1st February was beyond the pale of the pass but coming direct from the Superintendent of Police we deemed it all right, thinking that police matters were going on in their usual cuddle.\n\nIn this belief the passes were on the night of the 2nd instant given to two of our Chinese Compositors to take them home, and we were somewhat astonished on being awakened at half past twelve, and informed, that our men were in custody.\n\nWe went down to the police office, and there we found the authorities pondering over the passes, and wondering to see the names of the boys written in red pencil, that being the color of the printing of the new passes.\n\nWe explained that a red pencil is a very common article in a printing office and that the names had been written in with that; then on making ourselves responsible for the lads we saw them let go.\n\nMARRIAGE.\n\nAt Belgrave-square, on the 24th November, the wife of Admiral Sir T. COCHRANE, of a Son.\n\nAt Victoria, Cox, ELIZABETH SANDERS.\n\nMarriage Register xi:10.\n\nON SUNDAY, the 1st instant, the P. & O.

        "content_text": "# \nThis I call Point No. 3.\n\nPoint No. 4, is this,—That Kwon-sun-kwan, who swore and deponed at the Courts in Hongkong was certainly not one of the five teased by Mr. Caldwell at Macao, and has to be looked on as a suborned perjurer.\n\nI now come to deal with the man Ahsoong. In his first statement to Mr. Caldwell, this man said that, after being taken to Macao by Shum Ahing, 33 of our number, including myself, were retained in the Barracoon (`Sma-fook-tai`). After about 4 days we were all, 33 in number, taken before the authorities, and when they asked us if \"we would go, we did as we were told and nodded our heads.\" We were escorted to the house of the authorities and back to the Barracoons by several Chinese and Portuguese. I remained in the Barracoon till the 10th of January and, watching my opportunity, \"I made my escape out of the barracoon through this door.\"\n\nNow as the Coolies contracting only go to the house of the authorities, viz at the time when they sign their Contracts, the Procurador to test the truth of this statement sent for the Contracts of the three Coolies that had escaped out of the hong during the month of December, and as the name of Ahsoong was not found amongst them, he was desired to explain; and to assist in identification of the man, all the Portuguese people belonging to the barracoon were desired to attend; and these men, under oath, then declared that they had seen the informer often in the Barracoon with the brokers but that he never was admitted as a Coolie in the Barracoon. One of the Barracoon men indeed, swore positively to him as being a broker; but this man is gone to Hankow, and cannot be produced to give legal evidence. I shall content myself therefore with having made this point on the evidence accompanying Mr. Marquis's statement referred to in Point No. 1, and to be cited presently, that Ahsoong confessed it was true he was not a Coolie that had escaped but a broker.\n\nMark now the criminal conduct of Mr. Caldwell! Interpreter Delfino Xavier, whose sworn deposition before the Procurador I append, says in effect, when Mr. Caldwell heard the informer admit that he was a broker, not a Coolie that had escaped (and therefore that all his scheme had fallen through) he said in a low voice—\"you must persist in asserting that you are a coolie not a broker.\" What can be clearer as proof of Caldwell's guilt than this?\n\n## Point No. 6\n\nAnd then what was Caldwell's conduct? Why he brings Ahsoong back to Hongkong, and, in the face of the knowledge of this Delfino Xavier, of Mr. Procurador Marquis, of another Interpreter of the name of J. R. de Luz, of Lieutenant C. da Silva, and Cheang Aciun, all of whom can be produced to prove that Ahsoong had admitted in their, and in Caldwell's presence that he was a broker, and not a Coolie that had escaped, he placed the man in the witness box, as that had escaped to convict Shum Ahing of kidnapping.\n\n### \nThis I will call Point No. 7.—And I respectfully submit, Sir, that, as Grand Jury, you have ample evidence on which to base a prosecution against D. R. Caldwell of having with the Chinese Ng Asoung and Kwon-sun-kwan, wickedly devising to procure the conviction and punishment of Shum Ahing, on the 2nd of February 1860, before the Acting Chief Magistrate of Police, Hongkong, amongst themselves unlawfully conspired, combined, confederated and together agreed to falsely and fraudulently charge the said Shum Ahing with having kidnapped and sold into slavery forty-five Chinese. On this charge the said Shum Ahing was committed to take his trial, and on the evidence of the said conspirators, on the 21st day of February 1860, was wrongfully convicted and sentenced to four years' penal servitude.\n\nAnd I further present to you the said D. R. Caldwell and Joseph Scott, Governor of Victoria Gaol, who devising and intending to procure the continuance of the sentence passed as aforesaid on the said Shum Ahing, and to prevent enquiry into the truth of the matter charged in the said indictment of the said Shum Ahing, did on the 23rd day of March 1861, among themselves unlawfully conspire, combine, confederate and agree together to charge me with having induced the said Shum Ahing to draw up a statement implicatory of the said D. R. Caldwell of an improper intimacy with the pirate Mah-chow wang before mentioned; and in proof of this false and fraudulent combination and confederacy I submit the attested copies of declarations before Her Majesty's Vice Consul at this port, of James Ritchie, John Ross and William Gant, as hereto appended;—and I further charge the said D. R. Caldwell and Joseph Scott with having amongst themselves feloniously conspired, combined, confederated and agreed together to assail the life of the said Shum Ahing, first by threats of corporeal punishment, to wit on the 12th day of March 1860, when the said Shum Ahing was locked up in a solitary Cell in the Victoria Gaol, where means were placed to his hand to commit suicide, and afterwards, within nine days of the said date, by flogging or causing him to be flogged three several times on the back, whereby the flesh of the said Shum Ahing was torn and lacerated in a frightful manner. And in proof of this the Turnkeys John Ross, and James Ritchie, and the Warden of the Gaol, W. R. Whiteman, together with myself, can give evidence.\n\nIn conclusion I beg to inform you that His Excellency the Governor of Macao has authorized me to say that, on the request of the Hongkong Government, he will direct the Portuguese officers I have mentioned to attend the Court and give the evidence embodied and referred to in this letter and its accompaniments. And all the others mentioned as able to... \n\n314 \n7",

        "content_text": "359\n\nHis Honor: What did she say! Does she know Mr Tonnachy?\n\nInterpreter: Yes, my Lord, she knows him as the T'ai Cheong T'ou \"The Great Headed Governor\" (much laughter).\n\nWitness continued, and deposed to the fact of her enforced detention in the house; she refused to go on board a ship to go to a foreign country; some of the prisoners had said something about the women going on board a ship at a given time to go to a foreign country. She said she would not go, and they said \"You may do as you please,\" but did not let her go. \"The Great Headed Governor\" released her when he came to the house. There were one or two Chinamen in the room; but she did not know exactly as she was very confused.\n\nBefore commencing a cross-examination of the witness, Mr Barnard requested that the positions of the prisoners might be altered. His Honor consented, but he could not see how that could invalidate Mr Tonnachy's evidence. The witness, after answering a few questions, was directed to point out the prisoners she identified. She did so pointing out the same men as before. Mr Barnard said that was satisfactory, but directed a further experiment. His Honor suggested that frequent changes might confuse even the court; he thought that the witness had undergone a sufficiently hard ordeal.\n\nMr Barnard concurred; but he wanted now to satisfy himself as to which she identified as the master of the establishment; His Honor would see there were grades of criminality as the case stood.\n\nOther evidence was given, but we must defer our report until to-morrow. Mr Barnard urged as part of the defence that prisoners had simply acted as servants to employers, who were the real culprits.\n\nHis Honor carefully summed up, and the jury retired at ten minutes past six to consider their verdict. They returned in a few minutes with a unanimous verdict of guilty on the second count,--that of false imprisonment; two were in favour of a verdict on the first count, that of imprisoning with intent to sell.\n\nHis Honor asked if prisoners had anything to say.\n\nThe prisoners all said they had been employed by other men.\n\nHis Honor: The best excuse you can offer for yourselves is, that you were engaged by others; who would have better filled your place at the bar. His Honor after a few remarks, sentenced the prisoners each to 12 calendar months' imprisonment.\n\nThe Court then rose. We shall give the remainder of the report to-morrow, and shall preserve it in full for our Overland edition.\n\nCRIMINAL SESSIONS. Saturday, 24th November, 1866. (Before His Honor the Chief Justice.) THE KIDNAPPING CASE.\n\nOur report of this case was brought down in yesterday's issue to the end of the cross-examination of Chu a Lin by Mr Barnard, who appeared for the defence. Subjoined we give the remainder of the trial.\n\nSung Akin said-I am now staying in the gaol. I came from a house with the last witness. A man called Choya Chin met me into that house. I was there more than ten days. I did not want to stay there, and I did not go because the door was locked.\n\nA paper purporting to be a sort of bill of sale over the witness was here produced.\n\nThe Court objected to this paper being admitted as evidence against the prisoners on the charge before the Court, and the paper was accordingly withdrawn by the prosecution.\n\nExamination resumed: I recognise all the prisoners; they were in the house in which I was. Last witness was also in the house; she appeared to be unhappy.\n\nCross examined: The trap door was kept closed except when food or tea was brought up.\n\nMr Barnard here put the question to the witness: Have you had any conversation relative to what you should say here to-day? This question was objected to by the Attorney General, who reminded Mr Barnard that there was a difference between civil actions and criminal prosecutions.\n\nYang-a-ho was next placed in the witness box. The witness appeared to be much frightened, and answers had to be drawn from her by persistent enquiries. When taken to the front of the dock to recognise the prisoners she was much alarmed, and had to be assured again and again that she had no cause for fear, before she would go close to the dock.\n\nWitness said: I was in the house with the prisoners and identify all of them. I went to the house, as I heard I could get employment. I wanted to leave the house, but I could not get out. The prisoners told me that I was to go to New Bombay at $8 per month.\n\nCross examined, - Sometimes I had enough to eat, and sometimes not.\n\nInspector Langdon was next sworn and said: I was in charge of Wanchi Station on Oct. 27th. I went on that day with Mr Tonnachy to a house in Wanchi and arrested the prisoners. I had been to the house two or three times before. On one occasion I went and asked the 2nd prisoner whether he had any coolies. He replied, \"no, but I have women.\" There is a trap-door at the top of the ladders which I have always found locked.\n\nCross examined: There was no difficulty in getting into the house. 2nd prisoner appeared to be master of the house. I have only seen the 1st prisoner in the house on the last occasion. The white paper marked A was pasted on the shutter of the ground floor facing the roadway. The first time I went to the house was about the beginning of the month.\n\nThe various papers were then formally put in, and the case for the prosecution being closed,\n\nMr Barnard rose for the defence. He felt that he had a most painful duty to perform. It was not often that a case of this nature came before a court. The offence charged was a very serious one, and he felt sure that that was one reason among others to induce the jury to weigh carefully all that they had heard said. The defence was this: the prisoners were in the house, and certain females were up-stairs. That could not be disputed. The points for consideration were two--first, the completion of the offence; secondly, if complete, which of the prisoners were guilty. To come to a proper conclusion the jury must well weigh what had been said with reference to that white paper (the Lobscheid certificate.) He laid this fact earnestly before them, for it had a material bearing on the case. These people, the prisoners, thought they were doing right, as was proved by the fact of their producing that paper, when asked for their authority. The learned counsel read the certificate and continued: Now if any one did an improper act, and imprisoned the people in the house, the real offenders were not the men before the Court. They were not the proper parties to be charged. The real offenders were the parties who issued that document, and these men were simply their instruments. Mr Tonnachy had told the Court that he did not believe...",

The reward allowed by the Attorney General was considered sufficient and was handed to him. He, however, while thanking the Government, retained $136 for his own use and sent the remainder, $7551 - $8136 = $172 (though it is written as \"Juas! 8136 172\" which seems to be a miscalculation or misinterpretation), to the Magistrates for the Poor Box.\n\nThe Gunpowder Storage Ordinance having been confirmed by Her Majesty, and Your Grace having sanctioned the necessary attendant expenditure, I need only point out that the hulk required for the Depôt is that put down in the Returns as the \"Chase\", the purchase of which cost $4,500.

Such is the fact as narrated to us, and we are further informed that the body of the deceased has not yet been found. The incident occurred near an island, and the effects were also felt here, but caused no important damage.\n\nIt is learned that certain benevolent and liberal Chinese are contemplating the erection of a hospital for the benefit of the poorer class of their own nationality in Hong Kong. They have already purchased a large piece of ground upon which to build and have asked the permission of the Surveyor-General to commence work at once. The petitioners are prepared to defray the entire expense at their own cost, and their intention, so far as we presently understand, is to place the establishment under purely native conduct.\n\nThe report of the case of Olyphant and others v. Loo A-hung, for breach of warranty on a sale of sugar, contains the following extraordinary proceedings:\n\nShortly after this case commenced, and while Mr. Whyte was cross-examining the plaintiff's compradore, some reference was made to another Chinaman, also in the plaintiff's employ, and the Chief Justice said, \"Put him in the box.\" The following conversation ensued:\n\n**The Chief Justice**: As the man is a servant of the plaintiff, they should produce him.\n\n**Mr. Pollard**: You cannot produce him like a piece of paper. Let him be subpoenaed in the usual way.\n\n**Chief Justice**: Do you mean, Mr. Pollard, to put them to the trouble and expense of subpoenaing him? Well, if you don't produce him, I will take that into account in my direction to the jury.\n\n**Mr. Pollard**: I will put only those witnesses in the box which I, as counsel for the plaintiff, may see fit. I may make a mistake, but I will not be dictated to or talked down by anyone as to what I am to do.\n\n**Chief Justice**: I am not talking you down, Mr. Pollard. You will do your duty, and I will do mine.\n\n**Mr. Pollard**: That's all right, if we would only stick to it.\n\n**Chief Justice**: Now, Mr. Pollard, you will always have the last word; and I think it is most disrespectful to the Court to use language you are in the habit of using.\n\nThe Chief Justice then left the Bench but returned after an interval of a minute or two.\n\n**Chief Justice**: Do you apologise, Mr. Pollard?\n\n**Mr. Pollard**: For what, my lord?\n\n**Chief Justice**: You know what has passed; you know what...\n\n**Mr. Pollard**: If I have offended in any way, there is no man more willing to admit it and to apologise. Will you hear me?\n\n**Chief Justice**: For an hour, if you like.\n\nMost of the damage caused by a recent earthquake in Java was not in Hong Kong but in other districts, especially Djocjacarta, where several indigo and sugar manufactories sustained injury. The sugar mills are again in operation, while others will be able to commence grinding within a month at the farthest.\n\n### STRAITS SETTLEMENTS.\n\n#### SINGAPORE.\n\nThe London mail of the 27th May arrived out on the 27th June, and London telegrams had been received to the 14th June. During several sittings of the Legislative Council, the chief subject for discussion had been the purchase of a steamer or steamers for the service of a local marine. It was decided that a paddle steamer of about 300 tons, with special adaptations to the service, should be procured from England, together with a Tender and a steam launch for shallow river operations.\n\nIt was decided by the Government to give a subsidy of £100 per month to the British India Steam Navigation Company for the maintenance of the present mail line between Calcutta, British Burmah, and the Straits Ports.\n\nColonel Anson, the Lieutenant-Governor of Penang, had arrived there and relieved Colonel Man of charge. Mr. W. W. Cairns, the Lieutenant-Governor of Malacca, had been sworn in and proceeded to Malacca to relieve Major Barn.\n\nSir William Hackett, Acting Chief Justice, had arrived from Penang and would open the third criminal session of the year on the 9th July. The calendar was not large.\n\n#### PENANG.\n\nDates are to July 1. The Penang Gazette gives the following account of an expedition by H.M.S. Wasp to the Nicobar Islands:\n\nH.M. steamer Wasp left on the 12th June for the Nicobar Islands to investigate the murder of the crew of the brig Futtek Islam of Penang. The return of the Wasp gives a miserable story connected with the Nicobar Islands. To say that a nest of pirates has been discovered is almost too mild a term.\n\nAt Trinkut, the Wasp met two vessels, the Rattlesnake and the Harriet, of Penang, both at anchor and trading with the natives. It is reported that the natives threatened to attack the Rattlesnake on the departure of the man-of-war. The captain of the Rattlesnake stated that he had seen a white (European) woman on the island about eight months ago. It appears that about six years ago, a ship was wrecked on these islands, the captain and crew were murdered, and the wife of the captain and two children were taken on shore. The fate of the poor woman was sad; she was passed about from one to another through the whole tribe. When the poor lady was seen and spoken to by the captain of the Rattlesnake, the natives probably got alarmed, and it is said that they gave her poison, which was not sufficient to kill her outright. The Wasp has brought over three men and one woman as prisoners.\n\nAbout two and a-half years ago, another brig was seized at the Great Nicobars, the captain and crew murdered, and a lady with two children taken on shore, probably treated in the same way as the former one.\n\n### EXPORT OF TEA AND SILK TO GREAT BRITAIN. 1866-67 AND SEASON 1867-68.\n\n| From | Tea-lbs. | Silk Bales |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Shanghai, &c. | 1,138,727 | ... |\n| Foochow | 1,015,000 | ... |\n| Canton | 969,110 | ... |\n| Hankow | 1,255,041 | ... |\n| ... | ... | ... |\n\n### EXCHANGES ON LONDON.\n\n| At | 4 months' sight | Bank |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Yokohama | 4s. 8d. to 4s. 9d. | ... |\n| Shanghai | 4s. 8d. to 4s. 9d. | ... |\n| Canton | 4s. 8d. | ... |\n| Hong Kong | 4s. 6d. to 4s. 7d. | ... |\n\n### COMMERCIAL REPORT.\n\nA considerable improvement has taken place in the market for Grey Cotton Goods, and the Chinese have been buyers to a large extent.

On this occasion, however, the Duke had full honours, for no less than eight of the company, magnificently robed, six as Statesmen and Princes, and two as Princesses (men in female dress, but a perfect imitation) appeared to do him homage. First they talked (as if they were holding a council) about the Royal visitor; and then one, shaking his long white beard, recited a congratulatory Address, to which the others gave their assent by the utterance of repeated squeals, that being the conventional mode of agreement on the stage in China.\n\nThen they knelt down, two by two, prostrating themselves till their foreheads touched the ground, with a wonderful, almost mechanical, simultaneity, very curious when it is considered that they were looking all the time at the Royal box, and never at each other. The two ladies knelt last, and remained kneeling longest.\n\nThe pieces selected for performance on this occasion were a celebrated Historical Drama, founded on the selection of a Prime Minister in ancient times; and a Farce called \"A-làn selling his pig;\" and as they both furnish good specimens of Chinese Plays, the following sketches of the plot of each, contributed by a gentleman who is well acquainted with Chinese literature, is given.\n\nOutline of the Historical Drama.\n\n\"In the third century before Christ, when the tottering Chau dynasty, whose decadence Confucius had lamented in his own time, was drawing to its close, China, as it has repeatedly been, was divided into a number of Feudal States, always engaged in internecine war, and owning but a nominal allegiance to the shadow of Imperial authority which the Emperor possessed. Both Confucius and Mencius loudly lamented this state of things, and a great part of their works, especially those of Mencius, consists of rebukes,\n\n(29)\n\ncounsels, exhortations to unity, and essays on the evils of the times, which seem to have been impatiently listened to, and very uniformly disregarded.\n\n\"In the latter days of the house of Chau, then, several of these States, each governed by a Feudal Prince with the title of 'King,' were alarmed at the pushing ambition of the State of Tsin, which, under vigorous counsels, seemed to be carrying everything before it. The only man who perceived clearly what should be done was, like Solomon's 'poor wise man,' a poor scholar, who went round to the six principal States, urging a defensive alliance against Tsin. His burning words kindled a spirit of resistance amongst even these Feudal Princes, and the six States, forming themselves into a confederation, found no man so fit to administer its affairs as the poor scholar, whom they with one consent elected Prime Minister of the Six Kingdoms.\"\n\n\"Then for eight years, great peace possessed the land, but, at their end, the Prime Minister died, and there was no one to fill his place. The ambitious schemes of the King of Tsin were pushed on more vigorously than ever. At last, in B.C. 249, all the States had yielded to him and he consolidated the Empire during the short-lived dynasty of Tsin.\"\n\n\"The play opens with the entrance of one of the six Kings, who chants a long harangue in praise of the eloquent scholar, who has united the States in common cause against the foe. He recommends his appointment as Plenipotentiary. Another King enters, discusses the proposal, agrees, and the other Kings are summoned to a council.\"\n\n\"The council is held at great length and the appointment agreed on.\"\n\n45",

        "content_text": "# THE CHINA MAIL.\n\n## HONGKONG, WEDNESDAY, NOV. 23, 1870.\n\n### SUPREME COURT. -- IN CRIMINAL SESSIONS.\n\n**(Before the Hon. Chief Justice SMALE.)**\n\nWednesday, Nov. 23,\n\nThe Court was opened at 11 o'clock. His Lordship said that if any Jurors were in attendance they might retire, as the business of the Sessions was now so far finished that their services would not be required.\n\nThe Hon. the Attorney General was also excused, as he had been summoned to attend a meeting of the Executive Council.\n\nIn passing sentence on the Japanese who pleaded guilty to stealing from his master, an Osaka merchant, a sum amounting to some $60 or $70, and obtaining under pretence of collecting for his master some $350, from persons to whom goods had been sold, his Lordship said he approached the subject with great pain; he knew how closely matters transpiring in this Colony were observed in Japan, and this was the first time within his experience that a Japanese had ever been brought before the Supreme Court.\n\nThe prisoner's master was then placed in the witness box, and testified that he had known prisoner from a boy, that he was a native of an adjoining village to his own, that he had been in his employ nearly 8 months, and that up to the 14th of October he (prisoner) had borne a good character and had never to witness' knowledge been guilty of an act of dishonesty. He had been once punished for fighting.\n\nHis Lordship remarked that he did not look very pugnacious now.\n\n(The prisoner appeared a most wretched broken-down object, his head was bowed down, and his long, unkempt hair falling over his face almost entirely obscured his features; what could be seen of them could only excite in every mind feelings of sorrow and commiseration.)\n\nThe witness further said that up to the time of his arrest, prisoner was in a lively and healthy condition, quite capable of discharging competently business matters entrusted to his care. He was nothing like what he is now.\n\nHis Lordship said, that probably no sentence he could pass would, under the circumstances, meet with approval in Japan. That could not be expected. He had had strong doubts, when the prisoner was first placed at the bar, (he was such a demented looking being) whether he could allow his plea of guilty to be recorded, as the laws of England do not allow any person to be tried while in an unsound state of mind. He had therefore directed the Colonial Surgeon to make a careful examination of the prisoner's mental condition, and Dr. Murray's report was, that though evidently half-witted, he was sufficiently compos mentis to know what he was doing in pleading guilty. He had therefore admitted his plea.\n\nHis Lordship paid a well-merited compliment to the care and patience in investigation generally manifested by the Senior Police Magistrate, and particularly on this occasion. When the prisoner stated in the course of the primary investigation that he had lost this money at the public gambling houses, Mr May had caused enquiries to be set on foot which resulted in the complete substantiation of the statement. At the Sun Kee gambling house, Morrison Street, he had lost heavily; also at the Hing Kee, described as in the immediate neighborhood, though what necessity there could possibly be for two gambling houses so close together as to be described as near, His Lordship could not conceive. At the Hing Kee gambling house (the third visited), they did seem to have some faint doubts as to whether he was an Asiatic within the meaning of the Ordinance, one of the favored few allowed to gamble, but they were finally resolved in favor of his being allowed to lose his money. Here he won at first $96, but after a great variety of luck lost heavily. He then, it appeared, went to the Ching Kee, which is in a higher neighborhood, situated on Hollywood Road. The result of these visits was that he was now here. How strange it must appear, His Lordship said, to the people of Japan, a country where gambling is prohibited and suppressed, to know that it is licensed in this, a British Colony. It was greatly to be regretted that the keepers of these Elysiums had not refused admittance to this man on account of his having so much of the appearance of a European. Gambling is put down and kept down in Japan. By the Chinese authorities in every province where there is an honest governor, it is put down. In Singapore it is put down. In England it is put down and reduced within extremely narrow limits by four Acts of Parliament, which His Lordship regretted were not proclaimed as law within this Colony. Means to repress gambling in this Colony had been untried, though not unsuggested.\n\nHis Lordship called attention to the forlorn looking wretch at the bar, and animadverted upon the system which had reduced him from the status of a man to the poor miserable creature he was then. All his life he had been an honest man, he had borne a good character and an unspotted reputation until he came to this colony, where these licensed houses flouted him in the public streets. The consequences were there. His Lordship further commented on the evil influences to which this man had been exposed and the effect that it must necessarily have upon the nation of which he was a subject, and concluded by stating the sentence that he should impose was more from compassion than in the hope of its doing him any good in his present condition. Under the care of Mr Douglas and Dr. Murray it was to be hoped he might ultimately benefit.\n\nHis Lordship then passed sentence of two years' imprisonment, with hard labor, for the first offence of stealing from the master; and one year, (commencing at the expiration of the first sentence) of the same punishment for the second offence charged, obtaining money under false pretences.\n\nThe Criminal Sessions were then closed.",

        "content_text": "534\n\nContinued: The cause of the duel was the blows Torre Bueno received at the defendant's house as I have described before. I went to Mr Checa's house, because I heard of the arrest of Mr Torre Bueno on board a French steamer, and the warrant was not countersigned by me as Consul. I found the defendant and Torre Bueno were in the house. The defendant was rather angry and said something which I did not quite understand, it not being in French. They called each other offensive names. Mr Checa ordered Mr Torre Bueno to leave the room, He refused, and Mr Checa struck him. He struck him more than once; I did not count how many times. In consequence of this I and Mr Carrique carried a challenge on behalf of Mr Torre Bueno to the defendant. They spoke about a duel rather excitedly. The challenge was carried to the defendant the same evening at 10 o'clock by myself and Mr Carrique. Mr Checa said he would not fight the duel until certain transactions between Mr Torre Bueno and defendant were settled. I asked the defendant for the name of his seconds, but he did not give any.\n\nI then made out a procés verbal that Mr Checa refused to accept the challenge.\n\nAt this stage of the case Mr Francis asked the Court to strike out all the evidence that had been taken in reference to what had taken place in Mr Checa's house, as the refusal to fight the duel ended the transaction. The charge to provoke Torre Bueno to send a challenge terminated.\n\nMr May differed, as he thought the cause for a challenge still existed—the striking of the blows.\n\nContinued: After making the procés verbal I went home.\n\nI did not carry a second challenge. On the 27th I received a letter from the defendant. I don't know where that letter is; I may have destroyed it; I cannot produce it.\n\nMr Toller asked what were the contents of the letter.\n\nMr Francis objected, as it was against all modern rule of obtaining evidence.\n\nMr May overruled the objection, the witness being unable to produce it.\n\nContinued: Mr Checa in that accepted the challenge, and his seconds called upon me on the evening of Saturday. I was not there. I saw them on Sunday at my house.\n\nMr Toller here said that he had no further questions to put to Mr La Forest, and suggested adjournment of the Court for one hour,\n\nThe case was then adjourned till 3 p.m.\n\nThe case was resumed at that hour.\n\nMr La Forest was again placed in the box and examined by Mr Francis: When I went to Mr Checa's house, the defendant and Mr Torre Bueno appeared to be very angry. They were talking angrily and I heard the word \"playing\" and \"game\". The impression on my mind on hearing this was that one gentleman was accusing another of unfair playing. The defendant struck Mr Torre Bueno after those words were passed. Mr Checa ordered Mr Torre Bueno out of the house, and he was leaving slowly, Mr Checa struck him at the parlour door. It was about half a minute or 20 seconds after these words that Checa struck Torre Bueno. Mr Checa was more angry after these words than he was before. In my opinion, the blows were partly the result of what Torre Bueno had said. Mr Checa did not strike him before those words.\n\nWm. Deane, Captain Superintendent of Police, was then sworn: I produce the document marked A.\n\nMr Francis took objection to the witness' evidence on the ground that the defendant did not know the existence of the document, and it was therefore not evidence against the defendant.\n\nMr Toller contended that concert had been proved. It had been proved that blows were struck, a challenge was sent and accepted and a duel fought. What more evidence was necessary to prove concert? The rule of evidence was that concert had to be proved only.\n\nMr May wished to know what that document would prove in reference to the subsequent acts of the defendant.\n\nMr Toller said the document would prove that seconds were named by that agreement. He, (the Crown Solicitor) was prepared to prove that the defendant had acted in accordance with the statements contained in the document. He would recall Mr La Forest, who would prove that the duel was fought according to the terms of that document.\n\nMr May overruled the objection, and admitted the document.\n\nBy Mr Francis: I obtained that document from M. De La Forest at his house, or rather he handed it to me at my office. He went for it, I went with him, He returned with me to my office and gave it to me there. I had shortly before arrested Mr La Forest at his own house under a Warrant. I had no special search warrant to search Mr La Forest's house, nevertheless I did threaten to search the house or office if he did not give up the paper. I had every reason to believe in the existence of that paper in Mr La Forest's house. He refused all information of the paper at first. Without making any search I brought him up to the Central Station. There again I demanded the paper and threatened to search his house on a warrant. I did not say that I would break open his consular safe to look for the paper. I said I would search all places, even the chest. I said it would be necessary to resist any application for bail if he did not give up the paper.\n\nMr Francis: Now Mr Deane, do you know that you could not get a search warrant in a case like this?\n\nMr Deane: \"I did not think I would require any.\" He would act on his own responsibility to search the house.\n\nMr Francis remarked that it was fortunate that he did not, as he would be liable to an action for trespass.\n\nContinued: Mr La Forest gave up the paper under the influence of what I said.\n\n1. d'Almada e Castro sworn: I am Chief Clerk at the Colonial Secretary's office. I made the translation produced. It is a correct translation of the document marked A.\n\n53\n\nBy Mr Francis: The word \"sponsors\" would be the more literal, but \"seconds\" would be the more acceptable term for the original Spanish word.\n\nMr Toller submitted that that was the case for the prosecution, and asked for the committal of the defendant for trial.\n\nMr Francis, on behalf of the defendant, urged that the present charge of conspiracy to murder, framed under the local ordinance, had not been proved, at most a conspiracy to fight a duel was proved. It was not a duel that would be murder, but the shot which should happen to kill the person that constituted it a murder. The local ordinance was copied from an English act, which was passed shortly after the attempt to assassinate the late Emperor Napoleon III., in which one Dr. Bernard was indicted for a conspiracy to murder the Emperor under an old act of Parliament passed in the time of George the 4th, and Dr. Bernard was acquitted by the jury. A great deal of discussion ensued, which led to a new act being passed, and it was copied into the local ordinance. As he said before, a duel was not necessarily a murder, as was the case in the present affair, which was simply an affray, a breach of the peace. The cause which gave rise to the duel was the demand for payment of debt.\n\n3",

        "content_text": "808\n\nTHE LONDON AND CHINA TELEGRAPH.\n\nmeans we do not know. Why it is so we do not know. It behoves the Government to know whether any persons are engaged in introducing a false lead currency, depreciating the coin it has issued, and making endless trouble and anxiety to the masses of the poor people to take effective measures to protect the value of its currency to terrify forgers and prevent the issue of any currency that will destroy its credit and the value of its coin,\n\nThe province of Bahang was originally a Laotian region. During the wars with the Laos the Siamese conquered this region, and eventually placed over it a Siamese governor. It is now regarded as Siamese territory, and is the extreme limit of Siam proper on the north-west. Rahang on the west joins British Burmah; on the north it joins several Laotian provinces that are again subject to Chienguai. Chiengmai is a Laotian province, and is still governed by Laotian princes. His Majesty the King of Siam usually concurs in appointing the successor of any Chiengmai Laotian prince who may have deceased. Persons who may be obnoxious to the laws of Siam often escape to Chiengmai, and while there the Siamese do not usually succeed in gaining possession of their persons. Is Chiengmai a conquered province? Is it tributary to Siam, and to what extent; or is it simply under the protection of Siam, as was Cambodia? All these are questions full of interest.\n\nIt is said that Messrs. Vrooman and Culbertson made the distance from Bangkok to Rahang in twenty-two days. Last week the Rev. Mr. Culbertson returned from Rahiang to Bangkok in four days. This is very rapid travelling by the boats usually employed for such purposes.\n\nBORNEO.\n\nSARAWAK.\n\nWe learn from the Sarawak Gazette that the Qhop Estate and other property of Baroness Coutts, at Lundu, was sold by public auction on the 19th September, realising about $1,500. The house and plantations at Tanah Puteh were bought for $800 by Ken What, a Chinese merchant in the Bazaar, who intends to present a large piece of ground to his countrymen for a public burying-place, and keep up the house for the accommodation of pleasure seekers from Kuching.\n\nThe steamer Firefly, formerly the yacht belonging to the Honourable the Resident of Sarawak, is to run in the Rejang river, between Sibu, Kanowit, Matu, and Rejang, a run of rather more than one hundred miles.\n\n[Nov. 18, 1872\n\n4. The actual excess of revenue over expenditure for the year 1871 was $151,592.\n\n5. The sub-committee think this Supply Bill may be at once explored.\n\n(Signed)\n\nJ. W. W. BIRCH.\n\nJ. J. GREENSHIELDS.\n\nT. SHELFORD.\n\nThe Government, with a view to the public convenience, has procured a considerable quantity of silver and copper small coin, which the Treasury obligingly issues at par. The Kling money-changers, however, are turning this to account, by drawing coin from the Treasury, for which they charge 2 per cent. on issuing it in the square and elsewhere, persistently refusing to abate a single pie, on the ground that small change is very scarce. Even Chinese shopkeepers demand 1 per cent. It would be a boon to every chief if a plan were devised whereby this annoying imposition might be avoided.\n\nThe state of affairs in Deli is thus sketched in the Batavia Handelsblad. The reports as to how matters stand in Deli are far from favourable. The troops suffer much from sickness, above all from fevers, and as we have said before from diarrhoea and swollen feet. If the Hill Battas make common cause with the enemy, the situation will become an untenable one. As to the bentings, we are informed that they call forth admiration as well by their position as by their plan and strength. Without suspecting it, one finds one's self sometimes suddenly opposite a benting barely fifty paces off. These bentings are so built that grenades scarcely do any harm; by means of a thick bamboo covering, they have been made shell-proof. It will be seen that our brave troops have a hard task before them.\n\nA writer in the Straits Times says: In the eighth paragraph of the Governor's Minute on the sale of the land in connection with the building and repairing of the markets, laid before the Legislative Council on Sept. 26 last, his Excellency reports that at Malacca about 8,000 square feet of land near the Tron Bridge had been sold for $5,000, which sum is to be appropriated for the erection of a commodious market; I was at the spot very shortly after the sale, and was surprised to learn that a plot of land, containing, in my opinion, more than 8,000 square feet, adjoining the plot sold by Sir Harry Ord, had been given to a rich Chinese at Malacca by the Government for his sole use and benefit. The fortunate recipient of this noble gift has erected a block of substantial shops on the site, which is likely to yield a rental of $90 per mensem at least. It appears to me very desirable that the public should be informed upon what grounds such valuable public property has been given to a private individual. A commission is needed to inquire into, and report fully upon, the whole of the circumstances connected with this singular transaction, for which Sir Harry Ord is not responsible--the gift having been made, I believe, under the auspices of Capt. Shaw, the Lieut.-Governor, and Colonel Anson whilst officiating as Governor.\n\nWe cull the following items of News from the Penang Argus: Mr. Baumgarten, the Registrar of the Supreme Court here, is about to retire on a pension, and is to be succeeded by Mr. Bradford from Penang, Mr. Harvey taking the latter's post. Colonel Anson will be back from home by February next. The Government have extended the term of service in the Straits to enable him to carry out the Judicial changes which are forthcoming. Recent failures in Singapore tot up to $700,000, the Chetties suffering to the extent of $450,000.\n\nThe Sarawak Sugar Company's creditors have held a meeting in the Court House, when a first and final dividend of 0 per cent. was declared.\n\nThe Government advertise that the coal seams of Simonjan in the Sudong river and Silantek in the Batang Lapar, about four to five feet thick, may be worked by an individual or company on a payment of ten cents per ton brought to grass. The Simunjan seams are about 34 miles from a navigable river, and the Silantek seams are close to a small stream navigable for boats only, and about twelve miles from a large navigable river. The Governor has applied for a further extension of his offer. The Government offers a free passage by the S.S. Royalist from and back to Singapore to any person desirous of examining the seams.\n\nGovernment proposes to erect suitable building for a Sanatarium on one of the minor peaks of the Matang mountain, if there is any prospect of invalids availing themselves of such a locality. Dr. Houghton specifies the following advantages:-A S.E. aspect, temperature ranging from 66 deg. to 88 deg., abundance of excellent water, perfect accessibility from Kuching by water, a magnificent view over Sarawak, Lundu, Sudong, &c., and a gentle ascent from the foot of the mountain, admitting of invalids being carried up in chairs by coolies, always obtainable from the Rajah's Coffee plantation, through which the road passes.\n\nSTRAITS SETTLEMENTS.\n\nSINGAPORE.\n\nThe dates by this mail extend to the 13th Oct. No later mail had been received from London.\n\nCommercial Report.\n\n(For dates see first page.)\n\nIMPORTS.\n\nYOKOHAMA. There had been a good demand for Grey Shirtings and prices showed an improvement; sales had been on a good scale, and the market at the close was firm, especially for the heavier weights. Cotton Yarn had not met with so much inquiry, and prices were scarcely so high as those last quoted. Mousselines were lower, and with the exception of Black Velvets and Lastings, which were in good demand, there had been no particular change in other Woollen fabrics. Quotations:-Grey Shirtings, 7 lbs., $2.30 to 2.35 per piece; 8 to 8 lbs., $2.62 to 2.57; 9 lbs., $2.95 to 3. Cotton Yarn, No. 18 to 24, $40.50 to 42 per picul; Nos. 28 to 32, $47.25 to 48.25; Nos. 38 to 42, $45 to 48.\n\nHIOGO-OSAKA. Cotton Yarn: A fair amount of business had been done, and a good demand continued for Nos. 28/32. Nos. 1/24 were saleable, but owing to heavy stocks, prices were weak. Nos. 38/42 neglected. Grey Shirtings: The market showed some weakness during part of the month, and prices declined about 2c. per piece; they had since recovered, however, and closed firm. Taffachelas, Turkey Reds, and Velvets, in good demand; other Cottons more or less neglected.\n\nThe sub-committee appointed to consider the Second Supplementary Supply Bill for 1871, having examined the statements framed by the Auditor-General and published in the Blue-book of 1871, and which are separately laid before Council to-day, beg to report as follows:-\n\n1. This Supply Bill appears necessary to cover the only expenditure which exceeds the items provided for in the estimates and supplementary estimates of 1871.\n\n2. The sub-committee desire, however, to call the attention of the Council to the fact that the revenue for 1871 showed a net increase over that of 1870 of $26,055, and the expenditure a net decrease of $5,264.\n\n3. The actual revenue, as compared with the estimates for the year, showed an excess of $40,111—and while the expenditure was estimated at $1,870,006, it proved to be only $1,244,111, thus showing a net saving of $121,895.\n\nTo some extent\n\n204\n\n809\n\nwhich, with a sprinkling of Fychows, turned the bulk of the settlements. Only two or three chops of Pingsang had found buyers. The market remained quiet but firm.\n\nFoochow-Business during the week had been on a moderate scale and there had been no alteration in prices. No transactions had taken place in Oolongs. Congou: Settlements 12,732 chests at Tls. 5 to Tls. 20. The bulk of the transactions had been in Teas costing between Tls. 15 to Tls. 18, and the greater part was intended for the Continent. Settlements for England had been small. Arrivals, 18,750 chests. Souchong: 1,075 chests taken at Tls. 15% to Tls. 27. Arrivals, 700 chests. Oolongs: Owing to the continued firmness of holders no transactions had taken place. Arrivals, 4,950 half-chests. Scented Teas Settlements, 1,470 boxes at Tls. 17 to Tls. 20.4. Arrivals, 2,000 boxes. Flowery Pekoes: Settled 86 chests at Tls. 27. Arrivals, 150 chests.\n\nTIENTSIN. There had been a slight improvement at this port, not only were the waters on the plains no higher, but the dealers had made some small profit on their late purchases of Drills, Jeans, and common T-Cloths. Black Lastings and Velvets had been in some request, but Grey and White Shirtings were dull of sale, and rates unremunerative.\n\nHANKOW. Settling day had passed satisfactorily, but the subsequent improved demand previously looked for had not been realised. Holders were disposed to accept lower rates for all Cotton Goods. Of Woollens: Camlets was the only fabric wanted, but this article was scarce and H.D.B., of good assortment, had been placed at Tls. 16.40 per piece, to extent of 300 pieces. Lead: L.B. was quoted Tls. 1.60 to 4.65 per picul, but business had been very slack.\n\nSHANGHAI. The enquiry for Plain Cottons had continued, but the result, so far, had been unimportant, and had fallen far short of the business usually passing at this season of the year. Buyers had been deterred from operating in Shirtings and T-Cloths at all events as freely as they wished, by the quantities of goods forced upon them, and the consequent declining tendency of prices.\n\nGrey Shirtings: 7-lb. Grey Shirtings in fair demand and scarce, 8lbs. in good enquiry but easier; 7 lbs. Tls. 1.65 to 1.67; 8 lbs. Tls. 1.77 to 1.79 for Mildews; and Tls. 1.78 to 1.88 for sound common to best ordinary; Dewhurst's Eagle chop, Tls. 1.88. White Shirtings: 66-reed, Tls. 2.00; 60-reed, Tls. 1.80; lowest counts, Tls. 1.50. T-Cloths: Fair sales, but anxiety to realise had caused a further fall in value. Common 6 lb. Tls. 1.13 to 1.15; Dewhurst's T. quality Tls. 1.32; Mexican qualities, Tls. 1.45 to 1.52. A sale of 8lbs. Dewhurst's M.T., Tls. 1.72. Drills and Jeans: Both commanded a ready market at quotations; 13 lbs. to 15 lbs. Dutch and English Drills, Tls. 3.2 to 3.15; Jeans, Tls. 2.5 to 2.12 for English, Tls. 2.27 for 8 lbs. Dutch. Fancy Cottons: Chintzes, assorted, Tls. 1.41 to 1.60; Gentian Shirtings, Tls. 2.60; best Turkey Reds, Woollens: Tls. 2.60 per piece; other articles altogether neglected. Market dull; Camlets, Tls. 16 to 15. Other goods had received no notice. Metals: Scarcely anything doing.\n\nHONG KONG. The demand for Raw Cotton had strengthened with the approach of cool weather, and fair sales were being made at slightly better prices. Yarns were very little inquired for, and Nos. 16/24 and 28/32 could only be placed at lower rates. Drills only were in demand, and these were wanted at better values. In Woollens, Blankets had declined. All kinds of tin were slow of sale. Tin Plates were $1 per box lower. Quicksilver was steady. Rice had been in some demand for shipment to Swatow, but at the close the market was quiet at former quotations.\n\nFoochow. Sales had been effected of 1,000 pieces 8 lbs. Grey Shirtings at $2.77; 2,500 pieces 7 lbs. T-Cloths at $2.05 to 2.85; and 400 pieces 8 lbs. T-Cloths at $3.75.\n\nSAIGON. Although stocks were rather moderate, sales, with the exception of 6 lbs. T-Cloth could only be effected at reduced rates. Quotations: 8 lbs. Grey Shirtings, $2.62 per piece; 7 lbs., $2.20; 6 lbs. T-Cloth, $1.70; 5 lbs., $1.42; 4 lbs., $1.25; 4 lbs., $1.10.\n\nEXPORTS.\n\nTEA.\n\nYOKOHAMA. The amount of business done had about been on a par with that previously noted; settlements, chiefly of the medium grades, amounted to about 8,000 piculs, and had been made at gradually advancing prices, the market closing at fully $2 to 3 over last quotations for all except the finer grades, which remained as last stated. The quality had been fair; there was still a marked absence of common leaf, anything below medium being of very inferior quality. Supplies had been meagre, and stocks were reduced. The export had been as follows: Per P.M.S.S. Co.'s steamer China, to New York, 189,010 lbs.; to Chicago, 42,065 lbs.; to Boston, 6,100 lbs.; to San Francisco, 100,934 lbs.; per Emulation, for New York, 500,795 lbs.; per Etta Loring, for New York, 206,761 lbs.; per Leander, for New York, 707,702 lbs.; per Emma Augusta, for San Francisco, about 200,000 lbs.; and per Ceylon, for New York, 445,000 lbs. Including these two latter cargoes and that of the outgoing steamer, the export would be nearly two million pounds in excess of that of last season at the same date. Quotations:-Common, $5 to 28 per picul; good common, $20 to 31; medium $33 to 36; good medium, $37 to 40; fine, $41 to 43; finest, $44 to 47; choice, $50 and upwards.\n\nHIOGO-OSAKA A fairly active business had been transacted. Prices at the commencement of the month to within a few days of the close were easier, but owing to large purchases having been made, a hardening tendency was apparent at the close for all grades. Low grades were still scarce and dear. Settlements for the month from 15th Aug- were returned at 5,500 piculs, making a total of 26,000 piculs for the season, against 16,000 piculs for the corresponding period last year. Stocks were estimated at 5,000 piculs. The Caller On was loading for New York, and the Engelbert would take about 75 tons to San Francisco. The Jessie Isabel was about to sail for New York, with 293,064 lbs. Quotations Common, $16 to 20 per picul; good common, $21 to 25; medium, $26 to 30; good medium, $31 to 35; fine, $36 to 40; finest, $42 to 46; choice, $48 to 53; choicest, $54 and upwards.\n\nHANKOW. More business and a general advance of Tls. 1 per picul was reported. Settlements and reshipments for the week about 11,000 chests, Stock 3,300 packages, against about 1,400 last year.\n\nExport to date 51,000,000 lbs., against 53,000,000 lbs. last year at same time. Exchange, 6 m.s. Credit paper had advanced to 8.5 per tael, and the rates on Shanghai had risen to 3 per cent. for sight drafts and 3¾ per cent. for 10 days' paper.\n\nSHANGHAI. Black: The business in Congous had been unimportant, but former rates had been fairly supported by the extreme firmness of holders. Settlements for the week, 5,489 chests, at Tls. 14.50 to 30 per picul; stock, 29,120 chests, Green: No feature worthy of any special comment had presented itself; a little more had been done since exchange weakened. Attention had chiefly been turned to Moyanes.\n\nAMOY. Only about 1,000 half-chests of Ooloongs had been settled, and buyers were not operating owing to the uncertainty about the course of the exchange market. Tea-men were anxious to sell, but would not make a sufficient concession to counterbalance the advance in exchange. The steamship Teviot had sailed for New York with about 3,000 half-chests Amoy Ooloongs; the steamship Surprise was expected, and the Anglo-Saxon was the only vessel on the berth for that destination. Arrivals of Ooloongs to date, 174,916 half-chests: settlements 158,813, and stock 16,103 half-chests.\n\nCANTON. There had been but little inquiry for any descriptions, and the market had continued very quiet.\n\nSILK.\n\nYOKOHAMA. The market had continued to be fairly active, and a good business had been done, settlements amounting to about 1,800 bales, Hanks sorts as usual forming the bulk. Prices for both Hanks and Oshus (with the exception of Hamatskis which showed a still further decline) had advanced about $20 per picul. Quotations:-Hanks, Mybash and Sinchu, extra 32s. 6d., best 30s. 3¼d. to 31s. 0d., medium 28s. to 29s. 6d., inferior 24s. 6d. to 27s. 3d.; Oshu, extra 32s. 6d., best 31s. 6d. to 31s. 3d., medium 28s. 9d. to 29s. 10d., inferior 27s. 3d. to 28s.; Hamatski, medium 26s. 6d. to 27s. 6d.; Coshu, best 28s. 0d., medium 24s. 3d. to 26s. 7. Silk Worms' Eggs: Total arrivals to date about 750,000 cards, and settlements estimated at 450,900 cards; prices for green annuals quoted as follows- Best $8 to 9.75 per candil, good $2.50 to 3, medium $2 to 2.50, inferior $1.75 to 2; white annuals were worth $3 to 3.90 per card.\n\nSHANGHAI. At the close of last mail a considerable business was done, and buying had continued, partly stimulated by a lower exchange, and about 1,700 bales had found buyers at prices varying very little from those given in our last report. Good Silk had been steady and in fair demand, while common descriptions were neglected and declining. Tsatlee Market nearly cleared of Chop Silk, as also of good medium sorts, and in some instances contracts had been made for delivery of these latter for next mail. Hangchow: Sellers of medium at Tls. 400 to 465, but no buyers. Hainings: In consequence of the absence of demand for Raw Hainings last season, the bulk of the crop had this year been re-reeled. Export of Raw Haining little over 200 bales Stock of 1,100 bales last year, and holders of good Silks very firm. 250 bales included 100 bales of Fatmow's chop, which were held for Tls. 520 for No. 9 Taysaam: No settlements of Kaling reported. No. 3 to 3 Chincum bought at Tls. 400, Shaouhing at Tls. 380, and ordinary Laeyang at Tls. 345. Re-reeled: Fair Haining Tls. 500 to 570, medium offering at Tls. 510 to 550, Tsatlee still in over-supply, and prices weak.\n\nCANTON. Little or no change had taken place, and inactivity had prevailed. Prices were slightly easier, but no actual reduction had been made. The fifth crop, which continued to arrive, was of very poor quality--flabby but dry. The sixth crop, it was reported, will be no larger than the fifth, cold winds, which had come earlier than usual, having damaged the mulberry trees. The high rate of exchange and discouraging news from home still kept buyers out of the market, and in consequence the settlements were very small--under 50 bales; the present mail would, however, take forward some 300 bales of previous settlements. Stock, 2,000 bales Tsatlee, and with the sixth Crop and remainder of the fifth at least 3,500 bales more would be offered on the market this season. Several contracts for Rereels had been entered into, but for cargo ready for shipment there was no demand; some dealers were keeping back their stocks on the strength of the inferiority of the crops to arrive.\n\nThe Messageries Maritimes Co's steamer Pello, with the present inward French mail, arrived at Marseilles on the 12th inst. at eight A.M. She brings 68 passengers, 1,014 bales of silk, 1,912 packages tea, 309 packages copper, 1,868 bales tobacco, and 340 packages sundries for London. The cargo will be forwarded to London by the Company's steamer Copernic, and may be expected here about the 26th inst.\n\nBIRTHS, MARRIAGES, AND DEATHS.\n\nBIRTHS.\n\nALLEN-On the 10th Nov, at Singapore, Straits Settlements, the wife of Willworth Allen, Esq., of a daughter.\n\nBADGE-On the 20th Sept., at Hiogo, the wife of G.

        "content_text": "# \n\nthe forecastle until the gale was over and the forecastle cleared. Witness knew nothing more of the gale after 2 am, on the 31st. He was thrown 80 yards by a heavy sea. His legs were injured and his head cut.\n\nTam Kuey, a Chinese passenger on board the Glenlyon, stated that he came from Malacca, where he had been for 19 years. Eleven others came with him. He had two boxes with him. He fastened them to the ring bolts on deck. The gale commenced on the 30th. He took refuge on the top of an iron house, from thence he looked after his boxes. He went down to the two seamen who were going forward, one having an axe and the other having his money, and some of the money got scattered about. The man with a large package pushed him down and got away, and witness could not save any of his money. He could recognise only one man and not the other. He heard that 40 men had been washed overboard; with his own eyes he saw only 10 washed overboard; one of his 11 friends died of exhaustion on arrival at Hongkong. This was when the anchor was first cast. He took the body ashore to be buried. On the 3rd, when off Green Island, he heard that a man jumped overboard. The 10 men were washed overboard because they could not hold fast. He was not allowed below. None of the 10 men were dead before being washed overboard. He tried to get below but was prevented. He did not see any Chinese going below. There were some women and children on board. After the gale was over, he asked these women where they had been, and they replied that they paid something for getting into some place. After the gale was over he saw one dead body thrown overboard. Witness had $1,000 of his own and about $200 of others' money. Witness was accustomed to go to sea, and he did not feel sea-sick this time. Witness had been trading in boats on the coast of Singapore for about ten years. When he was struggling with the seamen for his dollars, a sea came over, washing over them. He was not washed overboard because he held on to some iron. He believed there were 40 men washed overboard because it was rumoured so.\n\nCaptain Thomsett said if the rumour said 100, would he say 100?\n\nWitness replied that the people talked amongst themselves and said there were 40 washed overboard. A Fokien man went to the agents and obtained 280 passage tickets for all the men. He was not sure that the whole 280 tickets obtained by this Fokien man with a view to profit had been disposed of. He did not know how many landed at Hongkong. None of his friends went below during the gale.\n\nEdmund Frost, able seaman on board the Glenlyon, stated that he had been at sea for about 14 years. He was on board the Glenlyon on the 30th Oct. He was on deck during the whole of the gale, except an hour or so. He knew a good many Chinese were in the chart room.\n\nHe received $9 from the men in the chart room. He got it from them because he handed in their luggage which was lying outside the door. The money was handed to him, in fact he had no time to receive much more. Witness handed the money to be divided amongst the quarter masters. Witness had $7 for his share of letting the forecastle. He could only see two Chinese lay dead on deck; these were the deaths he knew of. He heard an outcry of some men having been overboard; this was from the engine room. He believed these were men round the engine room door, because the door was broken. He thought the two men whose bodies he saw on deck died from their luggage knocking against them; one was black and blue all over his body, and one was covered with blood. He heard an order passed along the deck to put the Chinamen where they would be in safety, and to clear the deck, or something to that effect. He saw no Chinaman jump overboard until they came into harbour.\n\nWong Sai Me stated that he was a passenger on board the Glenlyon. He had been in Singapore selling old clothes. The typhoon came on on the 30th; during the gale, at the height of it, he went on to the place around the funnel. His boxes were left on deck tied to some iron. Witness remained on the deck-house till the vessel's arrival in Hongkong. He saw three or four washed overboard. He saw one man jump overboard; he did not see any one killed during the gale. He did not see any dead bodies after the gale. Those washed overboard were alive at the time. On the morning of the 31st when he came down from the deck house, he missed his box. About 3 or 4 in the morning, two seamen came and wanted to remove his box; he called out to them not to remove it, as it belonged to him. They stopped and went away. In the morning he saw seaman walking aft with two packages which he recognised as containing money, and belonging to him. The red bag contained $650, and the white bag $600. He did not go below, for the sailors would not allow him. At the beginning of the gale some of the passengers couldn't hold on, and hired the room of the sailors.\n\nHe could not say whether there was yet room in the sailor's room to hold more, because he was not allowed to go in, and he could not see. The women hired some room from the sailors, he heard this. He heard a man speaking English bargaining the place for them, but he did not see any money paid. He saw the seamen take the women's boxes inside, and he concluded that they had paid money. A friend of his, who died before reaching Green Island, paid some money, and witness saw it.\n\nThe women got in about 11 am on the 30th, just before the gale commenced, but his friend paid after the women. During the gale they could get no water. He did not see any dead bodies on deck; they might have been thrown overboard before. $600 belonged to him and $650 belonged to friends of his, who entrusted it to him to deliver to their relations. The body of the man who died on the 4th after arrival was buried in Hongkong. All his party lost their money.\n\nThe Court was then adjourned till tomorrow the 14th, at 10 a.m.\n\n## MARINE COURT OF ENQUIRY.\n\n### S.S. \"GLENLYON\"\n\nThe Marine Court of Enquiry was resumed to-day, 14th inst., at the Marine Magistracy to enquire into the circumstances attending the loss of life on board the British steamer Glenlyon during her voyage from Singapore to Hongkong. The Court was composed of the Hon. C. May (first Police Magistrate); H. G. Thomsett, Esq., R. N. (Harbour Master); Henry Lowcock, Esq., (unofficial Justice of the Peace); R. H. Cairns, Esq., (Government Marine Surveyor); and Seth Doane, Esq., (Master Mariner and Commander of the S.S. Mikado).\n\nSum Aloi, a Hakka, stated that he embarked on board the steamer at Singapore. He had been living in Batavia for seven years. He had a box with him when he went on board, which he placed on some iron structure near the place where the stokehold was. Many men came with him from Batavia, but he knew none of them. On the 29th October, it came on to blow, and he could not stand. He went down into the stokehold taking his box with him, and placing it outside the door. When he first went down, he did not pay anything, but about 6 p.m. two men in the engine room took hold of him, and asked him for one dollar; witness did not pay, and they searched his purse, taking from him 18 coins similar to the one he now produced (24 guilder pieces). The coin produced was kept in his box. The men did not return him any of the coins. He remained below during the gale. Witness did not see any body washed overboard, as he was below all the while. He lost nothing from his box, which contained $47.45 and clothing.\n\nMr Lister said he had ascertained that of the 280 tickets, 25 had not been accounted for.\n\nCaptain Thomsett said that he could understand this; he learnt that some of the men who had taken passage in the Glenlyon would not go in her on account of her being so deeply laden, but came in the **B**indostan.\n\nChan Sun, a boatbuilder at Batavia, stated that he took passage in the Glenlyon from Singapore to Hongkong. He had his... \n\nPage 470",

        "content_text": "boxes with him on deck; they were not lashed and were washed overboard. Witness was on deck during the whole gale. He remained near the funnel. He was Kea-sick during the gale. He was inside an iron house on deck. There were three men in the house altogether. The door was afterwards locked from outside. Witness did not see anybody washed overboard, nor did he see any dead bodies.\n\nTan Tosy, a Chinshew man, said he embarked from Singapore for Hongkong. He had been in Malacca selling cloth for over twenty years, and during that time he had been six times back to China. He returned to Malacca in July last. He had only one box, which he placed near the engine skylight. He had it lashed. During the gale, witness was in some place which he could not describe and was consequently taken by Captain Cairns to the steamer to point out the spot.\n\nYip Amee, a Hakka man, was examined. He embarked at Singapore for Hongkong. He was a tin-miner at Hoi Yeong where he had been for more than ten years. He had one box with him, and he placed it on deck. He lashed it to the iron railing. Witness was on deck during the gale, close to the engine room. He held on to some iron, and that was why he was not washed overboard. He did not go down because he was not allowed; no one went below. There were 5 or 6 women and two children. They were also on deck and did not go below. He did not see anybody jump overboard nor anybody washed overboard during the gale. He saw one man jump overboard while in harbour. Witness did not know why that man jumped overboard, perhaps it was because he had no money. He did not see that man stab anybody. His box was all right, and he brought it ashore. He was sure nobody went below, because they were not allowed. He tried to get below to the engine room but was prevented. He belonged to a party of five, and they all landed safely in Hongkong. The women and children remained near the bell. He heard that some men drowned, but he did not see any himself.\n\nCaptain Cairns, having returned, the examination of the previous witness was resumed. It was found that the man was on the top of the fore deck house. Witness did not see any women or children during the gale. His box was lost. He wanted to go into the engine room, but they would not let him. He first went into the engine room by paying $2, but afterwards another man turned him out.\n\nOn being asked if he knew anybody down below, he replied that he took care of himself, and he did not take care of other people. He saw a dead body thrown overboard, and one man jumped overboard while in harbour. He heard that 30 to 40 Chinese were drowned or killed during the storm.\n\nThe certificate for the carriage of passengers granted by the Singapore authorities was detected by Mr May to exhibit an erasure; the word \"two,\" in specifying the number of passengers, was erased and the word \"three\" inserted before the word \"hundred,\" followed by the figures \"300\" within a bracket. The Captain was asked if he knew anything about the alteration.\n\nThe Captain replied that he knew nothing of it. The certificate was handed to him by the Harbour Master himself in the presence of Capt. Millar of the Hindostan.\n\nMr May observed that this was a very unbusiness-like way of dealing with documents of that importance. He thought the matter so important as not only to be worth taking notice of here, but requiring reference to Singapore. This alteration and the subsequent part were also in different hand-writings.\n\nMr Lowcock said the writing might or might not be different, but the alteration was evident.\n\nMr May was positive of the difference of the hand-writing.\n\nCaptain Thomsett remarked that it was evident that the alteration was not made with a fraudulent intention, as the ship could carry more than 300 men.\n\nCaptain Thomsett wished to know why Capt. Templeton did not record the deaths of the Chinese on board in the official log, as required by the Act of Parliament.\n\nCaptain Templeton replied that if he had been in a fit state to write he would have had them recorded.\n\nCaptain Thomsett said the ship had been in harbour several days, and he could have had the log completed.\n\nCaptain Templeton replied that the official log had been in the Shipping Office ever since. The Chief Officer, who was in temporary command, made the entries in the official log, having reference to George Key's death. If witness had been in a fit state, he would have recorded the other deaths; it was an oversight they were not recorded. The entries were made on the day after arrival.\n\nCaptain Thomsett then formally asked Capt. Templeton if he knew anything about the erasure. It was evident it was not made with a fraudulent intention, as the ship was capable of carrying 300 or more passengers. It must be a mistake in the office.\n\nCaptain Templeton said the document was handed to him in its present state by the Harbour Master personally on board, and he did not even look at it.\n\nMr May questioned Captain Templeton if it did not occur to him to throw some rattans overboard in order to give accommodation to the Chinese.\n\nThe Captain replied that it did not strike him; but it was not safe to open the hatch.\n\nThe Court was then cleared.\n\n## Page 471",

        "content_text": "# \nHead Master and Inspector Mr. Stewart noted that this measure had the desired effect of awakening a spirit of healthy emulation among the Native School Masters and of creating a more general appreciation of the advantages of free education among the Chinese parents.\n\nThe Central school under the new system of management was growing in favour with the most respectable classes of Chinese. The system of payment introduced into the English department was working well.\n\nThe number of scholars enrolled in the Government school amounted in 1863 only to 495, but the attendance improved in regularity.\n\n## \nIn the Report of the Board for the year 1864, they dwell on the obstacles to be met with in regard to the village-schools. One of the objections, they say, is that the Sacred Scriptures are read in the schools, which, however, was not compulsory; but, they continue, that this objection is more ostensive than real, as may be gathered from the fact that in a school supported by one of the Missions, where the Bible must be read, there is a regular attendance of forty children, while there are only some ten or twelve at the Government school in the neighbourhood.\n\nThe Board had to report a decrease in the number enrolled for the year, but they found that the attendance was much more regular. The total number of scholars amounted in 1864 to 469.\n\n\"The Central school continued to grow in favour with the Chinese. It is attended principally by a class of boys superior to those of the village-schools, and for this reason, the Board have resolved that, for the future, fees shall be charged against all the pupils. The school was now more efficiently conducted due to the appointment of an additional English Master. The Bible is not used as a text-book in English, but it is taught by the Chinese Masters in their own language to those pupils whose parents offer no objection.\"\n\nNothing is said in the Reports for 1862, 63, 64, as to how much had been expended. The passage of the two English Masters, the erection and enlargement of the Central school, and the salary paid to the European Masters must have entailed larger expenses than in the preceding years.\n\nWith 1865, the Board of Education ceased to exist, and Mr. Stewart remained as Head Master and Inspector of schools.\n\n## \nThe private schools kept by the Protestant Missionaries for Chinese, where the reading of the Holy Scripture was obligatory, were going on well, and among them St. Paul's College was always prominent until the misfortune came of losing its funds on the occasion of a severe bankruptcy which happened in Hongkong to one of the principal Mercantile Firms.\n\nThe R. Catholic schools have been enlarging their sphere. A Catholic Reformatory was opened in 1863 in a small house at West Point. Sir Hercules Robinson granted to the R. Catholic Mission in Hongkong a large piece of ground in West Point for the Reformatory. The foreign Community very liberally subscribed to the erection of the building, and in 1865, the inmates from the Chinese house were transferred into the new building, and their number increased. They were not many, from 12 who had been received at the first starting of the institution, they increased till near 30; no larger number was received on account of want of funds. The allowance of $2 each for 12 boys was made out of the poor box from the Magistracy, and this aid enabled the Directors to start in the same building shops where the inmates were taught carpentery, shoemaking, and tailoring. The Establishment grew in favour with the Community.\n\nThe schools for girls at the Italian Convent were prospering. An orphanage was started attached to the schools, and the building enlarged.\n\nThe most prominent among the Catholic Educational Establishments was St. Saviour's College. In 1863, a large building was in course of erection in Wellington Street, which was continued and finished in 1864 along Pottinger Street. The cost of the building amounted to $14,000, which was mostly collected in the Philippine Islands by one of the Missionaries. An English Teacher from Europe was obtained, and the small school in Staunton Street, which only numbered 20 pupils, was transferred to the new building, where they increased rapidly. A day and boarding school were kept there, and a good number of youth came from the neighbouring Catholic Spanish Colony, the Philippines, to partake of the benefit of Education. The tuition was strictly commercial.\n\nIn 1865, the first public Examination was held, which proved a success. A long description of it appeared in the press, and H. Excellency Mr. Mercer, the acting Governor, honoured the Institution by distributing the prizes. A... \n\n## \n13",

        "content_text": "# A \n\nThere can be no doubt, but their efforts were almost useless so widespread was the calamity. In Mr Schmidt's (the gun maker's) house there were a number of cartridges, and these were at once got out, everything else being lost. Before 2 a.m. the fire had extended its ravages eastward as far as the P. & O. gate, where its progress was fortunately stayed. The godowns however were not out of danger. At 10 minutes past 2 o'clock the first charge of powder was exploded, and a house at the corner of the Wellington and Peel Streets brought to the ground. The fire was gradually creeping towards Messrs Vogel Hagedorn & Co.'s premises, the laurs at the rear, most of which were filled with firewood, burning at a white heat, the whole being in one mass of flame. The Praya and the upper roads were all filled with goods of every conceivable description, and the thieves had it all their own way; it was in fact wholly impossible for the police to have done more than they did; as it was 150 or 200 men were arrested. Two more houses were blown down in Peel Street before 4 o'clock, and subsequently many others. The fire had complete mastery of the town, and was creeping slowly but surely up the hill as far as Gage Street, sweeping away the whole block of houses between it and Cochrane Street. The fire then travelled along Lyndhurst Terrace, through Stanley Street to the New Civil Hospital which caught fire at past 9 o'clock. Part of it was blown down to prevent the flames from reaching the Central, and at noon or shortly afterwards the Civil Hospital was a heap of ruins. Although it continued to burn for long afterwards, and the Police Station had to be carefully watched to prevent the flames spreading further in that direction, a detachment of the 74th was told off to guard the Gaol in case of accident. The Station Yard was full of all sorts of furniture and property of every description. Numbers of Europeans were drunk owing in a measure to the festive season, and partly to the opportunities afforded them of obtaining the wherewithal, and some very disgusting and many amusing sights were the necessary result. A deal of looting was carried on by both Europeans and Chinese, who, not content with enriching themselves by the misery of others, went straight to the Police Station and robbed Mr Creagh's and the Inspectors' quarters, in one instance carrying off a chest of drawers bodily; not content with this some then set to work and wilfully and maliciously destroyed all they could lay their hands upon. The patients from the Civil Hospital were removed to the Old Lock Hospital. At 7:50 a.m. the roof of the R. C. Cathedral caught fire, and had it not been quickly noticed and put out by the aid of buckets there is no knowing where it would have ended. We believe that there have been several accidents, but we have not heard of any loss of life; one woman was taken out of a house of ill fame drunk, her house being at the time in a blaze, a fact of which she was quite ignorant and indifferent. We regret to say that Mr Creagh the Acting Superintendent of the Fire Brigade and Colonel Shervington have each had one of their feet hurt. There are many of the worst dens of infamy cleared out. We understand that the Captain of the S.S. Perusia offered an asylum for 600 Chinese, and many others followed suit; whilst several godowns have been brought into requisition. The fire is still smouldering as we go to press.\n\nDuring the day bodies of men have been engaged pulling down the many very dangerous walls which were left standing. About $60,000 in notes and $19,000 in silver were found in a vault under the ruins of Woo Hang's shop, Queen's Road Central, and removed by a party of armed police to a place of safety. We noticed a safe (fire-proof of course) with the smoke issuing from it which looked much as if it had been tampered with.\n\nA few of the Volunteers did duty last night as guards, but as many of that honorable corps had been hard at work the night previous they did not muster in very great force. About 14 turned out from 6 to 12, and 30 from 12 till daylight, but many of these had satisfied themselves with only a couple of hours rest. A fair estimate of the number of houses destroyed is 400. In Endicott Lane 6, Tang Man Lane, 20, Wing On Lane, 30, Gilman's Street 20, Gilmans' Bazaar 46, Queen's Road 44, Stanley Street 38, Poo Shing Lane 10, Wellington Street, 55, Gage Street, 9, Lyndhurst Terrace 34 (many of them quite new), Hollywood Road 7, Cochrane Street 41, Tsong Tuk Lee Lane, 10, Gutzlaff Street 13, Graham Street 23, Peel Street 7; but the number of persons huddled together in this number of houses is surprising and may be counted by thousands. A Good Hook and Ladder Company would be an inestimable boon at a fire and would have rendered good service on the present occasion. The treasure from the Chartered Bank was sent on board H.M.S. Kestrel last night for safety as there was no telling how soon the bank might fall a victim to the fire. A detachment of the 74th Highlanders was told off to guard the Oriental Bank.\n\n## THE THIEVES\n\nAs might have been expected the thieves were not idle but made what they could whilst the fire lasted. The absence of cases at the Police Court last Tuesday was amply compensated for to-day as there were about 150; in fact so many that it was thought necessary to have men from the 74th Highlanders in the Court with fixed bayonets to guard against an outbreak, and Messrs Hayllar and Barff sat jointly as Magistrates, to assist with the cases, which were however not of a very serious nature and were treated very leniently by all the Magistrates, who apparently considered the temptation to which the poor creatures had been subjected. Most of them were either fined or sent to terms of imprisonment ranging from 7 to 14 days with hard labour. A number of the European prisoners were engaged during the day cleaning the Police Station yards which were covered with pieces of charred wood and the remains of the spoils which had rained upon the station. Many people were very good to the poor creatures who were left to pass the night in the streets, and Mr Dorabjee of the Hongkong Hotel supplied beer and biscuits free for the firemen. Mr Fisher, in whose house the fire originated, was insured for $5,000.\n\nPage 441",

        "content_text": "# \nMt Ng Choy said he was quite prepared to leave the charges in connection with the death of the cook and the Chinese boy to the jury, reminding them that every word they had heard from the witnesses was the evidence of accomplices. He again quoted from Russell on Crimes as to the caution to be observed in receiving the evidence of accomplices, and presumptive and circumstantial evidence, vol. iii. p. 812. He reminded them that by the law of England the prisoners' mouths were shut. Had that not been so, the jury might have heard a very different story to that which had been told them; and while he would not say that it was so, it might have been that his clients would have been in the witness-box to give a more correct and connected version of what occurred, and those who had given evidence against them to-day would have been in the dock charged with the crimes now laid on the shoulders of his clients. In conclusion, he remarked that he believed he had not been able to do his duty to his clients as he could have wished; but he had done all he could according to his poor ability and skill. He reminded them that the lives of the prisoners were now in their hands. They should be satisfied by clear legal evidence that they were guilty before they took the responsibility of convicting them. They should be satisfied with nothing short of the most connected, clear, legal proof that they were guilty. It was not sufficient that they should have no moral doubt as to the guilt of the prisoners; they were not here to-day to consider the question from that point of view. There might be, even a decided probability of these men being the murderers, but that was not sufficient, for a man was not to be found guilty and hanged on a mere suspicion. In a case of life and death, the whole case had to be legally, formally, and completely made out before a conviction could be entered. It was not for him or them to prove their innocence, but for the prosecution to put their guilt beyond doubt. He left it for the jury to say whether this had been done; if not, if there was any doubt, the prisoners were entitled to the benefit of it.\n\nThe Chief Justice in summing up said the case had lost nothing; neither the prosecution nor the defense had been disadvantaged by the Court sitting until that late hour. He was afraid he would not be able himself, at that late hour, to do that justice to the case which he could have wished, but he would do his best, and the jury would have the advantage that they brought to the final consideration of the case tonight a complete and fresh recollection of the evidence, the arguments, and the points of the case, which they would probably not have carried over till to-morrow, had it been decided to adjourn late at night. The case was as fully before them as if they had devoted two or three ordinary days to it. Mr Ng Choy had very judiciously confined himself to the general principles which govern a prosecution of this nature, and had very fairly laid before the jury that view of those principles most in accordance with the interests of his clients. Mr Ng Choy was quite correct in telling them that the Court would direct them in accordance with the rules laid down in the passage he had read them from a great authority on Evidence. But he had to warn them not to attach a meaning to that passage which it could not, unless through oversight, be taken to convey, and which the writer certainly never intended it to convey. Mr Ng Choy was quite right in telling them that it was not his duty to prove his clients' innocence, but the duty of the prosecution to prove them guilty. This was most clearly the law, that the prosecutor had to prove one, two, or three of these prisoners clearly guilty of the crimes laid against them, or else the prisoners would be entitled to a verdict of not guilty.\n\nThe Attorney General had acted most reasonably and wisely in saying he would not press the charge connected with the murder of the cook, the evidence not having come out as he had expected and had been instructed. But still there were six very serious charges against the accused, and to these he would direct their attention one by one. All of them deserved their most serious consideration. The first question was: did the prisoners or one or other of them murder the Captain? The jurisdiction, he might advise them at once, was established. He had not the slightest doubt on that point. With regard to Mr Ng Choy's argument for the cautious reception as credible evidence of the testimony of those men who were on board the ship when the murders took place, he must tell them that the law was this: when an accomplice comes forward with an account of any crime which is unsupported or uncorroborated, the jury cannot convict on that evidence; but if there are two accomplices, and they by their evidence support each other, the trustworthiness of their evidence increases by geometrical progression, and their testimony becomes not only receivable but reliable; and when you have three accomplices, between whom you have no reason to believe there is any conspiracy, the credibility and value of the evidence goes on increasing in geometrical progression. As to Peter Augustin, his Lordship did not see that he could in any way be regarded as an accomplice. He had never been charged with any participation in these crimes. He was not found with the prisoners, but escaped and hid himself because they, suspecting him as likely to get them into trouble, wanted to kill him. From the very first, Peter had said what he said now; the jury saw the straightforward way in which he gave his evidence. Although he was personally present when the murders or some of them were committed, that would not in the slightest way render him criminally liable for what was done. His unwilling presence was nothing; his mind as well as his body must be with the murderers before he made himself an accomplice. He must either have taken part in or assented to the murders; and there was no evidence he did either. One reason why he had not gone with them and why they wanted to kill him, and why they were here to-day, perhaps, was that the man was of a different race; he was \"an African, born in Mauritius,\" and of a different tone of thought.\n\nHis Honor proceeded to quote from Baron Alderson that when murder or any other crime was proved circumstantially, not only must the circumstances be consistent with the theory that the prisoners committed the offence alleged, but the whole circumstances must be inconsistent with any other rational conclusion than that the prisoners at the bar committed the crime, before the jury are entitled to find them guilty. If the circumstances were at all reconcileable with the innocence of the prisoners, they were entitled to the benefit of the doubt. A large portion of the evidence in this case was formal; he would pass that over; it proved that the Kate Waters was flying under the British flag, and those men, therefore, were amenable to this Court and to the law of England. The evidence they had chiefly to deal with was that of the men who were with them on the ship. The learned Counsel had not gone into the evidence. The prisoners at the bar would lose nothing by his reticence. Often in cases of this kind, nothing could be more prudent than a substitution of the art of silence for the art of oratory. One of the witnesses in his evidence had stated that John said: \"If I had not killed the Captain...\"",

There is further a Charitable Allowance Fund annually included in the Estimates and under the control of the Governor. But as neither Magistrates nor His Excellency the Governor have or can have any means at hand to discrimi-nate between the deserving and the undeserving indigent, there is grave reason to believe that even these very limited funds do more harm than good, as far as Chinese destitutes are concerned, and for this reason no doubt the Governor's Cha-ritable Allowance Fund is mostly used for the charitable institutions of the Missionaries. though many of the Chinese destitutes in the ony were born here and are consequently British subjects, they have, happily for the peace of the Government, no notion of the existence of the Poor Box at the Magistracy or of the Governor's Charitable Allowance Fund, nor have they any idea that, as Lord ELLENBOROUGH (see 4 East's Reports, 108) has established, the law of humanity, to which English Common Law must be assumed to conform, puts the Govern-ment under obligation to afford relief even to aliens and therefore à fortiori to British subjects to save them from starvation,\n\n2.--The way in which the Government hitherto dealt with destitution.\n\nBarbaric, as some of the provisions of the Elizabethan Acts (39th and 43rd) were, and deterrent as the leading principle of the English Poor Law Act of 1834 is, the law of England, from Queen ELIZABETH to the present day, rested on the two humane and rational principles, viz.: relief to the disabled without work and relief to the able-bodied in return for work. To these old pillars on which the Poor Law of England rested for the last three centuries, the Act of 1834 added the establishment of a powerful Poor Law Execu-tive, for purposes of inquiry and control, prohibi-tion and direction. Whether outdoor relief is combined with the old work-house system as in England, or excluded in favour of the work-house test as in Ireland, the one leading idea of the English and Irish Poor Law is that no one in the country can by law remain destitute of the actual ̧ necessaries of life.\n\nThe local laws of this Colony, I regret to say, approach in barbarity the severest provisions of the Elisabethan Acts whilst making no provision whatever for relief even to the disabled, orphans or lunatics. Ordinance No. 14 of 1845, Section 11、17 says, every person who shall beg, or expose any sore or infirmity to view, for the purpose of exciting compassion and obtaining almis,.. shall be liable to a penalty not exceed-ing five Pounds,\" provided this offence is com-mitted in any thoroughfare, or public place or adjacent thereto, within the Colony of Hongkong. Ordinance No. 14 of 1856, recognizes, in a certain legal sense at least, the \"rights of paupers\" by making provision in Section X, that nothing contained in this Ordinance (regarding fees and costs in Equity suits) shall prejudice paupers in respect of their right of proceeding without fee or\n\n往而後已之候則較難故登門行乞但幸平時處堪眠懽嚴冬婦女終日手執京詞▲夜之際山間到之窮窘西洋人每有人之術以安理無賴之流不港縱窘華人亦可分數等首即生長乞人家以托鉢闔港十四萬衆較之尙幸可沿門爲生涯者如瘋疾人化子恆以襤褸形容殘缺肢體爲法或討簞食或乞云爲數無幾蓋國家未嘗設輩不大著以致在澳門香港生長致中華窮窘之人國去家當預備有方黎庶螅無妥理之法故罔克||大公仁以上各等窮窘之華人若以之甚行西苦乞洋人但手耳幸或拐商失人敢内日備饔飧夜濟貧會西洋人所宿而在牢房之輩急需又有聖保祿備牀笫如是者立之妥理濟貧會以身弱莫能傭工舉目無親意欲旋郛而苦乏盤川跬步推舉者或有女流兒女成店專條遣徍鮮薅收留者致往尋工晚歸歇堂濟貧之項備濟若之手衆憫而助之遺往東華醫院棲止义有狂病之人醫院外無安身所者或失醫院爲安居之所故彼巓連客蓋在彼者日賙濟者賴有他們教失職爱起而預其事次郎異省人及有流離失所者又有被拐後蒙救脫拐人總理等又畏無籟之徒藉据房而作不謝之窮窘之西洋人堪蒙其後頻喚金沙小子輩如此作爲而愛母則從旁窺伺慮有巡差見而蠲醒罔敢狂院惟賴有東華醫院而該不得已厠身牢倘不甚苦人耳所有錢文如斯以日若輩每使兒女奔走於中環大道見有西人初入者即追隨有貧人院與及醫院亦無癲行因丈夫長別離或遠遊無耗以致饔殮莫給者如此之人因按察衙門邇來所在巡理府署所有濟貧之費怙恃者或中途盤川不給者三郎凡有事遭意外或擾於病魔或困於煙癖以致之輩非藉名望之人殷實之\n\n直待彼離港是遊事定侍婢案情恐遭追究是以莫敢將女鬻爲待婢將子鬻作螟蛉於身煙所脫原非厚是以除格外艱苦之者\n\nthe hillside or anywhere, but in winter they generally prefer to accept sulkily the hospitality of the gaol where two meals a day and a bed at night are furnished to them, provided they turn in early in the evening and look out in day timel for employment, which eventually takes them away from the Colony.\n\nAs to Macao or Hongkong born Portuguese destitutes, there are always women going about with begging petitions at all hours of the day, calling at private houses, but generally not im-portunate. Deserving Portuguese poor have, however, their ecclesiastical charities to provide for their direst wants, and there is also a Society of St. Vincent de Paul which is a sort of Portuguese Charity Organization Society for the poor in the Colony.\n\nAs to Chinese destitutes there is no provision made by Government, nor by private organization, for dealing with Chinese forms of destitution in a systematic and at the same time humane and rational manner. Chinese destitution, as seen in Hongkong, consists in the first instance of hereditary and professional mendicants, viz., lepers and professional beggars, who use personal rag-gedness and physical debility or deformity as a means to gain a livelihood by begging for food and base cash. They frequently also employ children who dog the steps of strangers, espe-cially in Queen's Road Central, clamouring for \"kumsha,\" whilst they themselves keep a lookout to give timely warning in the rare case of a Constable awaking to his duty of interfering in the matter.\n\nA second class of Chinese destitutes consists of strangers, waifs and strays cast on the community by kidumppers who have been interfered with by the Police and who are then lodged at the Tung-wá Hospital, or of lunatics for whom also there is no other refuge but the Tung-wá Hospital, or of stray orphans, or travellers left penniless en route. A third class of Chinese destitutes consists of men disabled by accident, illness or excessive opium smoking, who have no friends here and no money to return to their ancestral homes, or of women with a larger number of children than they can, in the absence or through the desertion of their husbands, sup-port. and who, especially since the Chief Justice's late judgment on the subject of domestic servitude, are prevented by fear of prosecution disposing of their children for legitimate domestic purposes by arrangement with other families.\n\nFor all these Chinese destitutes, who, in pro-portion to a population of over 140,000 Chinese in the Colony, happily form but a comparatively small number, there is neither poor-house uor dispensary nor hospital, nor even lunatic asylum, provided by the Government. There is indeed the Tung-wá Hospital, but the Committee are so afraid of being burdened with permanent pauper patients, that no poor are admitted into the Hos-pital without recommendation on the part of influential subscribers. There is also a Poor Box of very limited means at the Magistracy, but none but cases of extraordinary misery, or paupers",

I did not borrow money from any one else. I had only 12 shillings.\n\n15. Q. Where do you intend to go to? and with whom are you going?\n\nA. Sydney. I am going with others, with LEUNG A-SING [sent for, but could not be found], about 23 years old. He is no relation of mine. I am going to Australia with him. I did not know him before.

He did not stay with me. I gave him no meals, and I incurred no expenses for him. I lent him no money, paid no passage or anything for him. I had nothing whatever to do with him. YING lives in my house.\n\nKO PAT-FUN of the On-hing shop, [referred to by WONG MUN, see above] states :-- ÜN CH'IU-YING wrote to WONG MUN and asked him to come to Hongkong. I do not know who lent him the money to pay for the passage to Australia. He is a farmer. I am not aware that he ever was a fishmonger. I am not aware that his parents have any money at all. He stayed, on his arrival in Hongkong, with his friends. Ho CH'I is his friend. I know Ho CH'I well. WONG MUN took his meals every day with Ho CH'I (Old Ho). Ho CH'I paid for the meals.

V. CREAGH,\n\nActing Police Magistrate.\n\nWhen Acting Captain Superintendent of Police last year, I wished to prosecute a man for detaining a child under this Ordinance, but as it was shewn that the boy had been sold by his father some months previously, the Attorney General (Mr. PHILLIPPO) considered that the purchaser was in loco parentis and could not be punished.\n\nC.

The Magistrate should always be supported when it is possible, and if he discharged the woman and put her in the box as a witness and she was used again at the Supreme Court, it might look like a breach of good faith to treat her now as a criminal.\n\nThe other two women I could see less reason for discharging, and I think perhaps should have had them charged, but I felt that that would be a grave slight on the Magistrate.\n\nAs to the druggist's case I think that the only thing that can be said is that it would look to be a breach of faith to proceed against him now.\n\nThe Chief Justice reprimanded all the parties very severely when passing sentence on the others, and I think they were so frightened that they will not engage in such acts again. However in this case I am quite ready to sink my own opinion, and prosecute if it is deemed politic.\n\n5th July, 1879.\n\n(Signed,) J.

Soo A-su and another.\n\nIn this case I find that the boy LER A-PIU and also LAM A-TING of the Sun-kee Tailor's Shop in or near Canton, where the lad was apprenticed, both left the Colony immediately after the trial, and have not since been heard of. Possibly these witnesses might be got at through the British Consul at Canton, but without their evidence any charge brought against LAM PAK-CHEUNG the druggist could not be well substantiated,\n\nUnfortunately no other evidence is forthcoming, and Inspector CAMERON can find no trace of the man A-KAM who stole the lad at Canton, or of the woman A-NG, both of whom seem to have decamped on hearing that the Police had been applied to in the matter.\n\nThe druggist was himself the first to complain to the Police, and apparently bought the boy with no evil intention, and under the impression that he was an orphan without a home. The child too says that he never told the druggist that he had any home, and expressed no desire to leave him.\n\nThe purchase by Chinese (having no family of their own) of young orphans, and indeed of others whose parents are too poor to keep them is a social custom amongst the natives, and is of constant occurrence in Hongkong. These \"pocket children,\" as they are usually termed, are often treated with great affection and are far better off than they were previous to their being so bought.\n\nRegina v. Mak Loi-hi.\n\nWith the aid of Inspector LINDSAY, I have carefully investigated this case. CHEUNG A-KAI, and SEUNG A-LUK, 2nd and 4th defendants, discharged at the Police Court have already given their sworn testimony at the recent Criminal Sessions. Should it however after this be thought desirable to put them on trial. I think there may be sufficient evidence to obtain a conviction. LUM A-CHAN, 3rd defendant, seems to have taken a minor part in the affair, and would be required as a witness.\n\nTwo Magistrates sitting together have power to determine cases of this nature.\n\n(Signed,)\n\nEDMUND SHARP, Crown Solicitor.\n\nNo. 900\n\nTHE ADMINISTRATOR TO THE CHIEF JUSTICE.\n\nGOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONGKONG, 16th July, 1879.\n\nSIR,---I have the honour to inform you that your letter of 30th May last recommending that proceedings be taken against Lau PAT-CHEUNG and LEUNG A-LUK under Ordinance 4 of 1865, paragraphs 50 and 51, was referred by His Excellency Governor HENNESSY to the Acting Attorney General who, before making a report, asked that the papers might be referred to the committing Magistrate.\n\nI have now received the report of the Acting Attorney General as well as those of the committing Magistrate and of the Crown Solicitor and I regret to inform you that after carefully considering these reports as well as the depositions forwarded by your Honour, I do not see my way to directing the prosecutions of the two persons indicated by you, first because, with all deference to your Honour's opinion, I do not agree with you in looking upon them as the principal criminals, and secondly because I think that after the evidence of these persons has been taken before both the committing Magistrate and the Supreme Court without any warning having been given to them that their evidence might be used against them, it would appear like a breach of faith to treat them now as criminals.\n\nA perusal of the depositions which you forwarded me and which I now return does not show that either of these persons obtained possession of the children for immoral purposes. It appears also from the depositions that they were led by the statements of the prisoners who have been sentenced by you, which statements were confirmed by the children themselves to believe that one of the children had no parents and that the other was disposed of with the written consent of the father alleged to be the only surviving parent. Neither of the children seem to have been ill-treated and the Magistrate has expressed the opinion with regard to the woman LEUNG A-LUK that \"being a well-to-do woman and having no children of her own, she had purchased the child with a view of adopting her as a daughter in the belief that she did so with the father's sanction.\"\n\nShould the prosecution of these persons result in their acquittal which seems to me not improbable, I fear that the good effect produced by the severe reprimand which I understand that your Honour administered publicly to all the parties concerned in these two cases might be to a great extent neutralized.\n\nAs your Honour's letter has remained for some time unanswered, I think it only right that I should acquaint you without further delay with the opinion that I have formed on the subject of your communication. But as your letter has been under the consideration of Governor HENNESSY, whose departure for Japan prevented him from finally dealing with it, there seems to me to be no reason why the matter should not be left, if your Honour wishes it for the decision of His Excellency on his return to the Colony, when it will not be too late to take proceedings against the parties should it be thought necessary to adopt that course.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nSir,\n\nHis Honour THE CHIEF JUSTICE,\n\n&c.,\n\n&c.,\n\n&c.,\n\nYour obedient Servant,\n\nW. H. MARSH,\n\nAdministrator.\n\nTHE CHIEF JUSTICE TO COLONIAL SECRETARY.\n\nTHE SUPREME COURT, HONGKONG, 8th October, 1879.\n\nSIR, The Criminal calendar for September, 1879, was sent to you in due course yesterday. It comprises three cases, case No. 1, a conviction of LEE A-KAU for kidnapping and detaining a child aged ... years. Case No. 6, a conviction of TSANG SZ-TAU and U A-IN on two counts for kidnapping and detaining a boy Ho Po-SING with intent to sell him in this Colony, and on two other counts for the same offence as to another boy YEUNG-SHING, and case No. 9, a conviction of KEUNG A-TO for purchasing a female child TING-HENG for the purpose of prostitution in this Colony, and of LI A-KAK for having sold the same child for the same purpose.\n\nI thought it my duty on the occasion of passing sentences on these prisoners to enlarge on the crimes to which these crimes ministered the great increase of which in number had recently been brought to the notice of the Court especially slavery, usually designated domestic, and slavery for the purposes of prostitution and seeing that arguments, doubts and difficulties had been rather hinted at than fully expressed, I thought it incumbent on me to enter very fully into all the questions at a length which otherwise might be thought too prolix.\n\n21",

The question of Fogging Mendicants \n\n252 \n\n**The ACTING COLONIAL TREASURER**-I should like to say a few words with regard to this matter, but they will be greatly curtailed by the remarks your Excellency has just made. As a magistrate who is also Superintendent of the Gaol, where mendicants here frequently come before me, I am glad to hear your Excellency does not intend to take away the whole of the power given to the Government by the section of Ordinance 8 of 1858. At present there are two sections of ordinances which refer to mendicants, sub-section 17 of section 2 of Ordinance 14 of 1845, which allows the infliction of a fine, in default, imprisonment; and the other, Section 23 of Ordinance 8 of 1858. By looking at the end of that Ordinance, for every offence against section 23, it is provided that the offender may receive, at the discretion of the Court, not more than thirty-six blows with a rattan and be deported to his native country, or, with consent of such offender, to any other place, if His Excellency the Governor shall so decide. I am not surprised your Excellency should have thought fit to repeal that portion which refers to corporal punishment. I have always considered, in the case of a mendicant, that was a most barbarous enactment; and I was one of the first, I think, to deal with mendicants by sending them to their native country without the infliction of corporal punishment. I was told I had no such power, that they must receive the corporal punishment, and the deportation follows. I said I could take the more lenient of the two views, and that if the power of deportation was used in an intelligent manner it would have a very good effect indeed. But I was afraid, from merely looking at the Ordinance now laid before us, your Excellency intended not to resort to that section which allowed the deportation of mendicants. But from the few words you have just let fall I am glad to find the Government do not intend to deprive themselves of that power. I was saying that if that section were carried out in an intelligent manner, it would do a great deal of good. Where a person has spent a great part of his life and energy in this Colony, and at last been reduced, by infirmity or illness, to beg, he certainly should not be turned out of the Colony in his old age. And in every case where mendicants have been brought before me I have been careful to ascertain what was the cause, how long they had been in the colony, and where they came from, and if it was the first time, I invariably discharge them with a caution; the second time, if they were suffering from disease, I caused a letter to be written to the directors of the Tung Wah Hospital, and they were immediately taken in there. Some, who had been in the colony a very short time, wished to return to their native country. If I thought they would go of their own accord, I gave them a gratuity out of the poor-box, if I thought they would stop, I ordered the police to see them out of the Colony. According to my experience of Hong-kong mendicancy, I am glad to say, there are very few sturdy beggars here, and in every case I have not thought it right to send them to prison. I think that course most objectionable except in the case of sturdy beggars. In most cases they are suffering from some infirmity or illness, and to send these people into gaol is a great mistake. There is no place in the gaol, as it is at present, for their reception. Their admission not only renders us liable to epidemics in the gaol, but it is no punishment to them whatever, because they are in such a reduced state or so suffering from illness that they immediately go into the doctor's hands, and he orders the nourishing diet and no labour, and for the short time they are in it is impossible to make the punishment at all deterrent. Of course in the case of sturdy beggars, the punishment will have some effect, but I must say the only one I recognised as such was a woman the day before yesterday, and I fined her a dollar, and she immediately paid it. But, as a rule, we have not a place for them, and where poverty has come on them through no fault of their own, I think it better to get them assisted by charitable organisation. In most cases, however, if they have only been in the Colony a short time, I would recommend the operation of that section of the Ordinance. \n\n## On Section 14, which provides for the repeal of certain Ordinances, \n\n**His EXCELLENCY** said-My hon. friend on my right (Mr. Johnson) will remember that Ordinance 8 of 1858 was the one to which my hon. friend on my left (Mr. Tonnochy) has referred as the one which imposes on mendicants certain punishments, one of which was that they should be liable to receive thirty-six strokes with a rattan. I congratulate him on what he has mentioned, that he was the first to reverse this flogging system. The fact is, if a mendicant could not be fined, or if there were reasons why he could not be imprisoned, then I think it is a question of law for His Honour the Chief Justice or the learned Attorney-General to explain whether it was open to my hon. friend, in the face of that old Ordinance, to avoid flogging, because it says \"Or at the discretion of the Court receive not more than thirty-six blows nor less than five blows with a rattan, and be deported to his native country.\" I think it is very possible that my hon. friend—and I congratulate him upon it—properly stretched so far the law in the direction of leniency as not to flog mendicants. I must say one of the reasons I had in telling Lord Carnarvon I could not support Ordinance 8 of 1868 was that clause. When I reflect on the fact that some of those mendicants were very old, and that we are close to this country of China which deals out a good deal of flogging, but never flogs men for merely asking for alms-there is nothing in the law of China that will justify any magistrate in doing what might have been done under that Ordinance I am glad we are repealing it, and I congratulate my hon. friend on having adopted as a magistrate the more lenient course of not flogging. The Bill passed through Committee, and was read a third time. \n\n## For Hennessy",

One of the foreign Ministers, Sir Rutherford Alcock's colleagues, declared his conviction to the same effect: that the payment in advance, of the half-duty, would be but so much added to the li-kin or other burdens which it was sought to lighten. Consistently with their theory, as above set forth, our merchants further contended that, in the provinces inland of the Treaty port provinces, the Chinese ought not to tax our imports carried into these under transit duty certificate, even when, by passing into consumption, they had become separated from the certificate. The counter-concessions obtained in other Articles of the Convention from the Chinese Government, it was argued, were not of sufficient value to justify the surrender of the area of exemption from all but Tariff duty (the port area), or of the option to use or decline the privilege of certification by payment of the half-duty. In the end the new Agreement was not ratified.\n\nMy own disposition, when I read Sir Rutherford Alcock's Convention, in 1869, was, I confess, to doubt that, the half-duty paid, our imports would be any the more secure against such taxation as \"the rapacity or necessities of Chinese administration\" might inflict upon them. I doubted the good faith of its officials, where breach of faith could only be established by the evidence of those subject to their authority, and entirely in their power.\n\nI have since found reason to believe that the control of taxation in the provinces is a matter of no small trouble to the Central Government as at present constituted, if, indeed, it be possible at all. The State Papers, of which the sense is given in Appendices 2 and 3, prove this. But the Convention had hardly been rejected, untried, before it became apparent that its rejection had greatly added to our difficulties. It was the first instrument affecting British trade that had not been extorted from the Chinese by force of arms. It was the first in which there was at least a show of reciprocal interchange of concessions. It was the result of two years' negotiations, during which, in one or two instances, the Chinese had spontaneously adopted a course of action implying a more liberal interpretation of Treaty engagements.\n\nIt was not wonderful, therefore, that its rejection without a trial should pique the high officer who had, in effect, represented the Chinese Government throughout the negotiations (the Grand Secretary Wênsiang); or that his pique should show itself in renewed obstructiveness. Whether the forebodings of myself and others regarding its operativeness were well-founded or not, I have, almost from the day rejection of the Convention was made known to the Tsung-li Yamên, found occasion to regret that it had not been allowed at least a term of probation.\n\nAs it was, complaints of the unlawful detention or taxation of goods in transitu continued, and a concession of great value was practically withdrawn. I mean the right of certificating imports carried inland, no matter what the nationality of the holder. I speak of it as a concession, because our demand that the nationality of the goods, not of the owner, entitled them to clearance inwards by payment of half-duty had earlier been resisted. In 1868, however, the Tsung-li Yamên had by Circular intimated to the Provincial Governments that the transit duty clauses affecting imports were henceforth to be so construed. This action of the Yamên was the more noteworthy because it was taken without communication with the foreign Legations. The Circular was not brought to my knowledge until after I had received complaints, in 1871, that the provision which it recognizes had been set at nought. I pressed for enforcement of its injunctions, but without effect. I was always met with the old argument that the Chinese Government had the right to tax any property held by Chinese subjects. This principle had been violated, said the Grand Secretary Wênsiang, when I represented that the Circular of the Yamên, in reality, surrendered it, violated by the issue of that Circular, and its prescriptions, he said, had been generally declared by the Provincial Governments impracticable. He refused me a copy of it.\n\nIt is scarcely needful here to notice in detail a negotiation on the subject of transit duties undertaken in concert with some of my colleagues in the year 1871-72. It resulted in a draft of rules proposed by the Tsung-li Yamên, which were accepted by none of us, and remonstrance was continued as before, I imagine by all, certainly by myself, as occasion required. I have mentioned in the earlier portion of this Report the circumstances under which I thought it my duty more formally to reopen the discussion with the Tsung-li Yamên in 1874-75. The statements of fact, which have run to such a length, were a necessary preliminary to my arguments in favour of the modification of Treaty right which I have agreed to recommend to Her Majesty's Government, in consideration of certain counter-concessions.\n\n## 111\n\nI must first re-state my own construction of our right. I believe that by the Treaty of Tien-tsin (1858) our imports, opium excepted, should be free to be sold on payment of Tariff, without imposition of other taxation, until they are sent for sale to an inland centre past the barrier or barriers between the port of entry and the inland centre in question. To pass these barriers free of other dues, they must be accompanied by a certificate proving that, in lieu of the dues leviable in transitu, the half-duty composition has been paid upon them. Without this certificate they must pay what dues may be demanded. On arrival at the inland centre, when they pass into consumption, I hold them liable to local taxation. I am here at issue with many of my countrymen, as well as with others whose opinion I am bound to respect, who maintain that, the half-duty paid, no taxation should be leviable at an inland centre. I maintain that its levy is just, and for this reason, that the imports can only claim exemption from it so long as they are accompanied by the certificate attesting payment of the half-duty composition, which payment it is at the option of the importer to make or to decline making. Where he finds, as may be sometimes the case, that the transit duties amount to less than the half-Tariff duty, he will, of course, decline it. But as he has this right of option, the Chinese Government, it seems to me, cannot be denied the right to infer, whenever goods are found without a certificate, that the importer has elected not to pay the half-duty.\n\nAt the inland centre, it has been suggested, a system of sub-certification might be established. Such a system would, I think, involve a more costly establishment (for it must be in the nature of a foreign Inspectorate, that is, of a highly paid staff) than it would be fair on our part to require, and such an establishment could not undertake to protect more than the larger operations in imports. Certificates could hardly follow goods consumed in the retail trade inland. As the Treaty now stands, however, I concede the right of the Chinese to tax imports inland, once they are separated, by lawful sale, from their transit duty certificate.\n\nBut the question earlier put remains unanswered. At what point does the liability of imports to taxation in transitu begin? What are the limits of the port area; the area of exemption from other taxation to which the imports are entitled upon payment of Tariff duty? As the validity of the Treaty of Nanking (1842) was reaffirmed by the Treaty of Tien-tsin (1858), and as the Declaration of 1843 (in which it was agreed that the charges to be levied as transit duties were never to be raised) was signed as possessing equal value with the Treaty of Nanking, I have been wont to contend that the barriers at which the liability to transit duties commenced could only be those existing in 1843, at which the moderate charges never to be raised were then levied. But the severity of a condition so sweeping apart, I am compelled at the same time to admit that if my hypothesis of right be unassailable, it still advances me but little towards practical solution of the difficulty before me, for the simple reason that I cannot myself, nor do I know any one that can, affirm what barriers existed in the year 1843.\n\nOf the more modern date of some I am satisfied; but I am unable to say positively of others that they have not the right of taxation which I admit a certain seniority would give them. I have been unable, consequently, even at Shanghae, to define my port area to my own satisfaction, and at some of the other ports the definition of the area would present even greater difficulties; eminently at Canton and Foochow, where there lies between the foreign settlement and the country inland a large city and suburb, in which I think it certain that octroi barriers existed long before 1842.\n\nThe Chinese, however, have in general ignored the port area. In general, not always. That is to say, that where the country inland, from its formation or its poverty, would render the establishment of li-kin collectorates near the port inconvenient, they have not been established. Otherwise, at Shanghae, for instance, collectorates have been established close to the foreigners' dwellings, and li-kin taxation has been laid through these, not alone upon opium, on which, as I contend, the Chinese have a right to lay it, but upon all other British imports; and when my Agreement was signed at Chefoo last September, a bale of shirtings was as certainly taxed at Shanghae the moment it left the foreign importer's door as a chest or less quantity of opium. The bale of shirtings could not be sold by the Chinese purchaser in the city of which the foreign settlement is the suburb, without payment of a certain charge as li-kin, which made it free of but a limited district. Passing out of this, it paid the li-kin charges that freed it in a second district, and so on. The authorities, as a rule, have evaded communication of the li-kin tariff when applied to for it. Our information (see `Appendix No. 1`) comes from the native constituents of our merchants, whom we cannot put in the witness-box.\n\nThe charges in these li-kin districts are not stated, each taken by itself, to be very burdensome. At Shanghae, up to a certain distance from the settlement, they do not...",

LOGAN.\n\nHave you conferred with any solicitor at all, or barrister, with a view of retaining them to defend you ?--No, my Lord.\n\nDo you wish to have the opportunity of doing so ?--Yes, my Lord; I would like to have an opportunity of doing so.\n\nI understand there are now in Canton some legal gentlemen with whom you may confer, and if you desire it every opportunity will be afforded you to consult with them.\n\nPrisoner--I do desire it.\n\nHis Lordship--Well, in that case it will be necessary to adjourn the trial; it will be adjourned until Tuesday next, and the court will sit at nine o'clock, if that is convenient.\n\nMr. Francis--Quite convenient, my Lord.\n\nHis Lordship, to prisoner--The case will be adjourned to enable you to instruct counsel for your defence at the hearing.\n\nThe names of the jurymen summoned were then read over, seventeen names being read, of whom five failed to answer, and those who were present were notified of the adjournment of the court.\n\nThe Crown Advocate--I would suggest that those gentlemen of the jury who have not answered to their names should be called upon again.\n\nThe Court then adjourned.\n\nCANTON, 25th September. The case was resumed this morning. The Viceroy was represented in court by Mr. Pang, late Paotai of Chiu Chan, and now Supervisor of Taxation at Canton, who, with Mr. Popoff, the Russian Consul at Foochow, were on the bench on either side of the Chief Justice, some other Chinese officials being also present. Mr. Popoff was in court to watch the case in the interest of Johnsen, the other man in custody in connection with this matter, who is a Russian.\n\nThe Crown Advocate, before the jury were sworn, made a motion to the court that Mr. A. G. Wise, the Counsel for the defence, he being a member of the Hongkong bar, should be permitted to practise in the court. He also made similar motions with regard to Mr. Dennys and Mr. Ewons.\n\nHis Lordship signified his assent. The jury was then drawn, and the following were first called to get into the box--Mr. S. F. Mehta, who was challenged by the prisoner and retired; Mr. R. Howie, Mr. K. D. Adams, Mr. R. Comber; Mr. A. T. Daval, who also retired, being challenged by the prosecution; Mr. S. D. Cowanjee and Mr. S. R. Futtakia, who were challenged by the prisoner and retired; Mr. G. D. Fearon, and Mr. C. J. Lafrentz.\n\nMr. Fearon asked his Lordship to exempt him from serving as he had been on the jury in the last case in Canton.\n\nHis Lordship said that that was no ground for exempting a juror, and Mr. Fearon took his place in the jury box.\n\nHis Lordship informed the jury that the case would probably last some time, and he advised them as to the course he proposed to adopt in dealing with it.\n\nMr. Wise applied that all witnesses for the prosecution should be put away in some safe place under the charge of an officer of the court, as he felt it to be very important that they should be prevented from all communication while the case was proceeding.\n\nThis had been already provided for.\n\nThe Crown Advocate then opened the case to the jury for the prosecution as follows:--Gentlemen of the jury, you have heard the indictment against the prisoner read; it contains apparently several charges, but in reality there is but one charge, the simple charge of the murder of a Chinese boy on the 12th August last. The circumstances which will be brought before you by the evidence are as follows:--About six o'clock on that morning the prisoner, in company with two other Europeans, was in a street in Honam, and he proceeded along that street to his own house. Before the trial is over you will have a plan of the street, and you will see better than I can now explain to you, and be better able to understand from it, all the evidence; but in order to give you some idea of different points which will be referred to in the locality I shall endeavour to explain to you the bearings of the different places to one another most important in Honam. The prisoner's house is in a street which runs to the west and east, and at no very great distance from the prisoner's house, is a cross-street; the street is irregular and towards the west especially it is so irregular that a man standing at the prisoner's door could not see the whole distance down the street to the place where one of the incidents occurred. Now the prisoner was proceeding towards his house, and on either side of the street were coolies sitting down waiting to be engaged in a tea hong. The prisoner has in his hand a stick, and as he passes along, he strikes first one coolie and then another with the stick, saying as he struck the first \"one,\" the second \"two,\" and so till he got to the fifth. The first four coolies make no remonstrance, but when he gets to the fifth that man asks what he means by hitting him; he says \"I was not annoying you, and why do you strike me in this way?\" Logan then, it appears, became excited, and he proceeded to his own house and brought out a pistol.\n\nREGINA v. LOGAN.\n\nHe was proceeding at this time from west to east, and the coolies were sitting close to his house. He went to his door, got a pistol, and came out again, coming back along the course he before followed, towards the west. The two other Europeans appear to have come out with him, and they chased the Chinese in the street. The Chinese, when they saw him coming out with firearms, ran in every direction, and got out of the way as fast as they could. He runs along this street towards the west and fires his pistol, and the bullet strikes a woman. Fortunately it does not kill her, but only wounds her. She did not know she was wounded until the people pointed out to her that she was bleeding from her back, and then she found she had a wound on her back. The prisoner, having fired the pistol, returns again from the west towards his own house, and was followed by the woman, who was shouting out to him--\"You have wounded me, heal me,\" and the coolies and other Chinese about also shouted to the prisoner--\"Heal her\" that is to say--\"You have wounded her, and you must look after her recovery.\" The prisoner then became further excited, and the evidence it will be my duty to bring before you will show that he then proceeded to his own house and brought out another firearm--whether it was a pistol or carbine there seems to be some doubt, but that is immaterial to the case. The evidence will be that the firearm was given him by his boy, that he brought it out, and proceeded towards the east of his house, the opposite direction to that which he had taken before, where the woman was wounded,--towards the cross-street which crosses the end of the street in which he lives. About half way, or rather less, between his house and this cross-street is a bridge, and it appears that when he got to the bridge he stooped down and deliberately taking aim, fired this pistol or carbine, with the result that a Chinese boy was killed, and that a Chinaman was wounded.\n\nNow the charge against him for having done that is a charge of murder, and though you will probably have some general idea of what murder is, I shall now give you, subject to the directions which you will receive from his Lordship, some explanation of what murder is. When a person of sound memory and discretion unlawfully kills another with malice aforethought, either expressed or implied, that is murder. Now, gentlemen, there are some things which you will have to presume, and if they do not exist it will be open to the prisoner to prove that they do not exist. You are to assume that the prisoner, at the time he did this, was of sound memory and discretion. The law presumes everyone to have sound memory and discretion unless it is proved that he has not. And the next presumption you have to make is that where any man kills another it is murder unless in some way or other on behalf of the prisoner it is proved not to be murder. You are to presume that all the evidence which goes to make the crime of murder is there, and that malice aforethought is there. For malice it is not necessary for the prisoner to have any previous grudge against the person or that he absolutely intended to kill him and did kill him. If he had intended to kill the boy that would be what is called express malice; but the law also implies malice, and one of the cases in which the law implies malice is when a man does something recklessly which is likely to lead to the death of his fellow creatures. A case in which malice would be implied would be such a thing as a man deliberately discharging a gun among a multitude of people. This will appear to you, gentlemen, a reasonable statement of the law, for if a man fires a gun amongst a multitude of people he must know it is likely to cause the death of some, and as I said before, it is not enough to say he did not intend to kill this or that particular person. He did not make up his mind to kill that person, but if the natural consequence of his act is that death will ensue, he is guilty of murder. The law presumes that a man intends the natural consequences of his act; and the only natural consequence of such an act is the death of someone. Therefore, if you find that such a state of things exists in the present case, and there is no other defence than that, it will be your duty to find the prisoner guilty of murder.\n\nThen there is another question with regard to the case which it is necessary for me to go into, and that is the question of justification of his act. It appears to me that there is no thing which can suggest any justification in this case at all. Justification indeed there is none, nor is there any excuse; there was no offence given at all which will excuse it. Now, under those circumstances it may be attempted to be shown that the crime which was committed was not the crime of murder, but that of manslaughter, and if, after hearing the evidence, you come to the conclusion that the crime committed did not amount to murder, but only to manslaughter, it is equally within your power on the charge now before you to find him guilty of that offence. But to enable you to reduce the crime from murder to manslaughter reason must be shown, and it rests upon the prisoner to show that the crime is not murder but manslaughter, not upon the Crown to show that it is murder and not manslaughter. Now, the only thing that the facts as I have stated them seem capable of suggesting is that there was some amount of provocation, and I will lay down to you...",

        "content_text": "60\n\n1.The\n\nDaily Press.\n\nHONGKONG, NOVEMBER 30TH, 1889.\n\nCRIMINAL SESSIONS.\n\nBEFORE THE HON. SIR GEORGE PHILLIPPO, CHIEF JUSTICE, AND A SPECIAL JURY.\n\nTHE LIBEL CHARGE.\n\nThe trial of Robert Fraser-Smith on a charge of libelling John McNeil Price, Surveyor-General of Hongkong, was continued.\n\nMr. Francis, instructed by Messrs. Brereton, Wotton, and Deacon, appeared for the prosecution. The defendant conducted his own case.\n\nThe jurors were Messrs. E. Burnie, H. Foes, D. Mosso, C. T. Kohlmann, B. B. D. Sayle, E. L. Woodin, and W. S. Young.\n\nThe prosecution now called rebutting evidence. A copy of the mail edition of the Telegraph of the 14th September was put in, in which the paragraph alleged to be libellous, and which appeared in the paper of the 3rd, was repeated, the object of this evidence being, Mr. Francis stated, to show that the publication was not a mere individual act of Mr. Stewart Fraser-Smith but that it was repeated in the mail edition some days later.\n\nEdward Rose was then called. He said—I am employed in the Surveyor-General's department, and have been so employed for three years and a half. I am overseer of the waterworks. As such I have had no connection whatever with the works now going on at Tytam. My duties are solely confined to the water from the Pokfulam reservoir, that which supplies the town. I have had nothing to do with the Tytam Water Works directly or indirectly. I do not remember ever having had any conversation with Mr. Robert Fraser-Smith or Mr. Stewart Fraser-Smith or both of them together on the subject of the Tytam Water Works. I never said I would make something out of those works. I never passed such a remark as that I might make something more but that too strict an eye was now kept upon me. I never stated that Mr. Price liked to keep the good things to his own cheek, to either of the brothers nor to anyone else. I have never had any conversation with either of the brothers that would afford any basis for the statement that I had said so. I live next door to Mr. Fraser-Smith's office in Pedder's Hill. I have never spoken to Mr. Robert Fraser-Smith or Mr. Stewart Fraser-Smith about delays in the payment of contractors in connection with the Survey Department. I have certainly not suggested to Mr. Stewart Fraser-Smith that if he wrote in the Hongkong Telegraph about the subject the contractors would be willing to pay him a percentage on their bills. I have never taken Mr. Stewart Fraser-Smith and introduced him to two or three of the contractors who were complaining of delay in the payment of their bills. Mr. Stewart Fraser-Smith has been at my place several times and generally had a drink of some kind. I have five children. He has had champagne in my house, not that he liked it very much, I think, from what he said. I think that was on the occasion of the birthday of one of my children, but I do not remember. He has had champagne in my house on several occasions. My salary and allowances are $300, my rent $23, and one of my rooms I have let for $10 up to within the last two months. I certainly do not live beyond my income. I have some money saved of my own. I had no idea my style of living and scale of expenditure were being discussed by Mr. Stewart Fraser-Smith.\n\nBy the defendant I swear I have never had any conversation with you or your brother about the Surveyor-General's department. I did not have some conversation with you about three weeks ago on our way to the Masonic Lodge. I did not express a hope that my name and that of the other foremen would not be introduced into this case. You said to me once, as I was passing, \"You fellows need not be afraid about this case,\" but I passed on and said nothing. I swear I have never had any conversation with you about the Surveyor-General's department. I swear I have never spoken to your brother about the subject of contractors not receiving their pay at the proper time. The statement made in the witness box yesterday that I took him to some of the contractors is false. I am positively certain I never received any squeezes from contractors. I overlooked works in Gough street about two years ago in connection with the waterworks. I think Mr. Andrew Millar was the contractor for that work. I do not know that I volunteered to collect some private accounts for Mr. Millar in connection with the laying of some piping in the houses in Gough street. I have not collected those accounts, and have not paid them to Mr. Millar. In the case of one bill a gentleman called me in and asked me to pay the money over to Mr. Millar, which I did.\n\nDefendant—Then you did collect them?\n\nHis Lordship—That is not collecting.\n\nDefendant—It is only a difference of terms; he says he received the money.\n\nHis Lordship said that if Mr. Millar had given the witness bills to collect, and he collected them, that would be collecting, but if one gentleman merely called him in and asked him to pay the money to Mr. Millar, that could not be called collecting.\n\nCross-examination continued—I did not collect the accounts and keep the money to myself. I do not remember receiving a bill from Millar for $13, on account of one of these houses in Gough street. It is very likely he may have given me a bill for $13. It is not likely I collected it or I would remember it, but I can swear I did not keep the money. I swear it is not a fact that I collected the money and paid him $10 and kept $3 for myself. I pay $28 rent including taxes. My five children are at school. The school expenses are $9. I pay my cook $5, I think, but my wife pays it and I do not know exactly. I have a small house boy whom I pay $2. I have no amah. I am allowed chair coolies by the Government. The whole of my household expenses amount to about $80. That includes everything. My show bill I suppose costs me about $30 a month. Beer and wine may cost $3 a month. My wife does all the washing herself very nearly, all except a white shirt or two. The washing may be a dollar and a half a month. I don't know about firewood; you might say a dollar for that. Other incidental expenses would not amount to much; there is nothing much left but lamp oil and that might cost 50 cents. I suppose clothing for myself and family might cost $100 per annum; but I think that is rather too much. I have not had a new suit of clothes for years. Before I went to the Surveyor-General's Department I was half proprietor of the Oriental Hotel. We did not compound with our creditors; we have paid everything off. We were not able to pay it off at the time.\n\nDefendant—You entered the Surveyor-General's Department then a poor man?\n\nWitness—The terms of my partnership did not compel me to bring in my private means. I had spent enough for my partner, and I did not bring in my private means.\n\nNow what is your salary?—$68.\n\nNo, that is not your salary.—I get $68 a month. And your allowance?—$15 for chair and $5 for my Fire Brigade work.\n\nAccording to the list you have given me, Mr. Rose, your monthly expenses, without any extraordinary expenses, such as doctor's bills amount to $86.50.—We don't pay for doctor or medicine; we have them allowed by the Government.\n\nWell, without any extras your expenses amount to $86.50, and your salary and allowances to $88; that would leave you a dollar and a half.\n\nHis Lordship—I don't see quite how you make that out. He got $10 a month for one of his rooms. How long have you let your room?—I have had pay for it the whole time I have been in Pedder's Hill up to the last two months.\n\nYou are a member of certain Masonic bodies in the colony?\n\nWhat are your fees per month?—$1.\n\nWhat is that for?—That is my subscription, just the same as your own.\n\nTo the United Service Lodge?—Yes.\n\nAnd what do you pay to the United Service Chapter?—30 cents a month, I think.\n\nYou are a frequent visitor to the Hongkong Hotel, are you not? You go there and play billiards?—No.\n\nYou never go there?—Oh yes, I go sometimes.\n\nWhat is your bill there?—I suppose I get two drinks a month; that is what I pay for.",

        "content_text": "## DARING PIRACY ON BOARD A BRITISH STEAMER. MURDER OF THE CAPTAIN.\n\nThe present time appears \"big with fate\" in this colony. On Saturday we had one of the gravest collisions that has ever occurred in the harbour, and yesterday morning news reached this colony of the most daring piracy that has occurred within these waters since the notorious Spark tragedy. There has been, in fact, a complete repetition of the Spark piracy on board the British steamer **Greyhound**. Captain Syder, which plies between this port and Hoihow and Pakhoi.\n\nThe Greyhound left Hongkong at about six o'clock on Saturday morning with a general cargo, consisting of piece goods, rice, &c., altogether not of a particularly valuable character, and tickets were issued for about 110 passengers. It is believed, however, that none of the holders of these tickets were concerned in the piracy, but that the pirates were men who came on board shortly before the departure of the ship, without tickets, in two batches, none of them having stockings on, and with no luggage but a few boxes, which are now supposed to have contained their weapons. Their passage money was collected on board.\n\nThe Greyhound weighed anchor at 6 a.m., and got as far as an island called Kow Lan Tai Lo, which is about seventy miles from this port, before any event of importance occurred. Between twelve and one o'clock, while the captain was on the bridge, the chief officer on the deck, and the second officer aft, the pirates rose suddenly. Up till then there had not been the smallest suspicion on board the steamer of any contemplated piracy; no precautions had been taken, and no means were at hand to cope with any sudden rising. Not one of the ship's officers had a single weapon about him, and being scattered about the ship as they were at the time the outbreak occurred, the pirates had it all their own way from the very outset.\n\nThe first intimation of the rising was a rush made by the pirates at the captain and officers, firing their weapons recklessly as they did so. Captain Syder tried to fight his way to his cabin, doubtless for the purpose of obtaining his revolver, but he was fired at all the way, and on the starboard side of the deck he was shot down. The unfortunate man was then pounced upon, stabbed, and his body thrown overboard.\n\nThe chief officer got off the best of all. He had not so far to run the gauntlet of the pirates' firing, and he made his way below to his cabin without being hit at all, and there he secured his revolver and lay ready for all emergencies. The pirates knew that someone had got down below, and learning from one of the boys who it was, they sent down and parleyed with him, making an offer about to the effect that if he would come out peacefully, they would leave him unharmed. He was then put in the after-hold, along with the other officers and the Chinese passengers.\n\nThe second mate was less fortunate in his experience. The first thing he knew of the matter was receiving a shot in the back. He was standing aft at the time, and seeing a number of armed Chinamen about him, firing, he made a dart to get forward, but he had to run through a shower of bullets fired at him by the pirate gang as he ran, and he was very severely wounded, with not less than six shot wounds in the body. His injuries are so serious that it is feared he will not survive them. He managed, however, to get forward, and at length reached the forehold.\n\nThe chief engineer was standing by the engine-room door when he received a shot, and he dashed forward at once, and sought the same place of shelter as the second officer. He was rather more fortunate in his effort, as he did not get so badly hit, and he reached the forehold with only two wounds. His injuries, it is hoped, are not of a very serious character.\n\nThose two wounded men were not allowed to remain in their retreat very long, for the pirates had them out and put them in the after part of the 'tween decks, along with the chief officer and the Chinese passengers. The head Chinese fireman was also wounded; he received a shot while walking along the deck, but it is thought his injury is not a very bad one.\n\nThe pirates having thus killed and disabled most of the officers and secured the passengers, had then the entire command of the vessel. There was no one to offer them the slightest resistance, for though the other Chinese passengers out-numbered them about four to one, and knew that they were likely to be sufferers at their hands, they did not attempt any resistance, but were completely intimidated at once. Nor were they really in a position to have done anything, as they were all unarmed, while the pirates were all furnished with firearms, and the chief officer said he saw that some of them had a revolver in each hand.\n\nThe whole affair occupied but a very short time, and almost immediately after the pirates rose, they were in full possession of the ship. The second engineer was on duty in the engine room at that time, and the pirates kept him there. They ordered him to keep the engines at work, and when they had disposed of the officers they proceeded to look round the steamer for plunder.\n\nThey had apparently received some information which led them to expect there was a great deal of treasure or other valuable cargo on board, and expressed great disappointment at being able to find only one box of treasure, containing $2,000, and nothing else in the cargo that they deemed worth their while to remove. They then proceeded to thoroughly ransack the whole of the passengers' belongings, and took whatever was worth appropriation, remarking the while that had they known the amount of plunder to be got was so small, they would not have taken the trouble to carry out their audacious enterprise.\n\nSoon after the steamer was in their hands the pirates had her head turned round, and steamed back towards Hongkong, threatening all the while to scuttle the ship, and to burn her, but, fortunately for the owners and for the crew, they attempted neither. When they had arrived within a short distance from this island they hailed a boat which was lying anchored, waiting for them, and then stopped the steamer and transferred their plunder on board the junk. They next went into the engine room, and removed the lever from the pump which supplies fresh water to the boilers, a step which they evidently believed would...",

        "content_text": "Lin, Fung Wa Chun, Lee Tak Choi, Pon Wing Chune, Lo Hok Ping, Ho Chi Chong, Fung Hing Ting and other European and Chinese gentlemen\n\nThe Rev. Dr Chalmers conducted the proceedings, and Mr C. Palmer, the architect, superintended the laying of the stone. All being assembled, the Rev. Dr Chalmers gave the following brief history of the origin of the hospital, and a description of its nature and purpose :—\n\nYour Excellency, ladies and gentlemen, -- The promoters of this charitable Hospital are the London Missionary Society, under whose auspices it is to be conducted; Dr Ho Kai, who generously undertakes the expense of building; Mr Belilios, who endows it with a fund of $5,000 for the purchase of medicines; Drs Manson, Young, Hartigan, and Jordan, who offer their services gratuitously; and numerous benevolent friends both European and Chinese, who have already contributed the liberal sum of $8,000 which makes up the balance of the cost of this site, bought by the Society for $22,000. The part which is already built up to the level of Hollywood Road is the Hospital proper. A chapel is to be built on the remainder of the lot by the Chinese Christians. For that no public subscriptions are asked. The Hospital door is to be open to the sick of all creeds and nationalities alike. Advice, medicine, and accommodation will be free to the poor, and only a small sum will have to be paid to the cook for food. For the destitute we hope to have a separate fund to provide food also. It is generally agreed that this institution will be a great boon to the poor Chinese and to not a few of other nationalities, who cannot afford to pay doctor's fees, or even the moderate daily charge at the Civil Hospital. It is intended also to make it a school of European medicine and surgery and in general to make it supplement in some measure the Tung-wa, which is purely Chinese. Our aims are in no way political; and our religion we force upon no one. But we trust to commend ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God by doing good in His name. We count ourselves happy in having Your Excellency here to-day to lay our foundation stone, and regard it as a good omen of prosperity to the institution for many years to come. For the expense of furnishing, which will still require two or three thousand dollars, and for the annual current expenses, we confidently trust to the benevolence of the Hongkong Community, to whom I here tender my personal thanks for help past and to come. Having made these few explanatory remarks I request Your Excellency to do us the honour of laying the foundation stone of the Alice Memorial Hospital, a truly noble memorial of a lady of rare worth and piety, Mrs Ho Kai\n\nDr Chalmers mentioned that a tin box containing copies of the local papers, a few Hongkong and Chinese current coins, the subscription list and a copy of Dr Chalmers' speech, had been placed in a receptacle in the bed of the foundation stone.\n\nHis Excellency then formally laid the stone, using a silver trowel in doing so.\n\nHe then said—Dr Chalmers, ladies and gentlemen, I regard it as a great honour to have been asked to attend here to-day to lay the foundation stone of this hospital, an institution which will be the means of doing a great deal of good in this Colony, if it realises, as I am quite sure it will, the ambition and wishes of its promoters. It will provide proper medical attendance for the poorer Chinese who are prevented from going to any other hospital. I am very glad to hear also that it is proposed to attach to this hospital a medical school where European medicine and science may be studied. Only the other day we had an illustration of the great benefits and great results achieved by a similar institution, the David Manson Memorial Hospital at Takao. I hope that the school to be attached to this hospital will prove as great a success; and I repeat what I said the other day that I hope before long that the Tang Wah Hospital will be managed by Chinese doctors who have been taught European medical science and surgery at a school something like this or the one at Takao. It is only right that I should refer to the public spirit, benevolence and great liberality of the promoters of this hospital. I think the thanks of the community are due to the London Mission Society, who, with the assistance of the subscribers here, have furnished the site on which this building is to be erected, and more especially to Dr Ho Kai, who has made ample provision at his own cost for the erection of the hospital that is to be built here,—as Dr Chalmers says, a truly noble and appropriate memorial to her in whose memory it is to be raised. The thanks of the community are due also to Mr Belilios for his liberal donation, and to Drs Young, Manson, Hartigan and Jordan for the interest they have taken in promoting this hospital, and for the liberality with which they have offered their services at the dispensary and the hospital. This is not remarkable, however, for all the world over the medical profession are noted for their liberality and the interest they take in anything connected with their work. Ladies and gentlemen, in conclusion I would express the hope that the Alice Memorial Hospital prove a success, and that the example now set may, perhaps, induce other people to start other benevolent institutions of a similar nature in Hongkong. (Hear, hear and applause).\n\nRev. Dr. Chalmers:--Our duties are now over except that I think we ought to pass a vote of thanks to His Excellency for coming here to lay the foundation stone and for expressing his warm sympathy with us in our effort to provide a building for ministering to the sick poor of Hongkong.\n\nDr Ho Kai proposed three cheers for Mrs Marsh and His Excellency. These were given heartily and the Company then dispersed.\n\n179",

As regards the all-important point of sanitation, I think it is extremely disappointing to note that there has been almost, I may say, no allusion made to it whatever. The only point that I could see with reference to it in the Address is the hope held out that a draft Public Health Bill may be introduced during the present Session. I contend that such an important matter as this ought to have received the chief attention of the Government of this Colony. Things are, no doubt, in a most disgraceful state, and I think there are very few people in this colony—perhaps I might even include certain of the officials—who are aware of the real state of things which now exists. In order to prove my statement to a certain extent, I will, with your permission, read to you an extract from an official report which was sent in to the Government as late as June, 1885, or about 18 months ago, having reference to the state of the Market. It is a very lengthy report, and it is one of the most comprehensive I have ever seen issued by an official in this colony.\n\nThe occupation of houses specially set apart for the sale of human food as dwellings is in itself a very grave sanitary defect. It becomes a great deal more than that when the houses are not only over-crowded but also quite unfit for human habitation. That those market houses are uninhabitable is beyond question.\n\nThe best of them are composed of two rooms, more or less filled with goods, and without conveniences of any kind. There is one room which is only 11 feet long, 7 feet wide, and 6 feet high, and the greater portion of which is below ground, without any window, and the only opening to it being a doorway 6 feet by 2 feet leading into a live fish store. This hole gives sleeping accommodation summer and winter to seven men.\n\nI have visited that hole myself, and I can confirm what has been said of it in every particular. I have also visited in the Market several other holes in a far worse state than this, in which I have seen men actually suffering from loathsome diseases, here in the midst of the food supply of this colony. The report goes on to say ----\n\nThe very fact that those houses are uninhabitable seems sufficient to ensure that the Government will no longer allow them to be occupied as dwellings, more especially as the Board has already, in the case of a private individual, taken steps under section 3 of Ordinance 7 of 1883, with regard to uninhabitable dwellings. This being the case, it seems needless to dilate on the somewhat disgusting details of hundreds of men sleeping nightly in contact with and surrounded by the food of the majority of the inhabitants of the city.\n\nWith regard to these dwellings, it seems needless to dwell on the disgusting details of hundreds of men sleeping nightly in contact with our food supply. I have discovered that in that Market there are 1,200 men and upwards sleeping nightly. I will ask you to follow me in the succeeding remarks of this report:-\n\nThere is only one pail closet and it has four compartments. It is closed during the day and open at night. It is practically a square box without light or ventilation. Even at noon, a lamp is required to see what the place is like. The Central Market Authorities do not supply the closet with a light. Two hydrants stand on the east and west sides of the closet, a vegetable stall on the north, the door of the closet, and a fish stall on the south, and a bedroom above. The fittings of the closet are old and very defective.\n\nThe only urinal provided is a wooden bucket in the closet, and of course, this is only available at night. The door of the closet and the inlets to the drains in the various stalls are regularly but clandestinely used as urinals.\n\nNow, sir, I blush with shame to have to hold out to public criticism British officials who have had that statement before them for eighteen months, and yet have taken no steps whatever in the matter, with 8,000 Europeans in this colony all drawing their food supply from this source. I say that one and all, I make no distinction of persons, are deserving of the severest censure that this state of things should have been allowed to continue. The improvements which were suggested were as follows ---\n\n1. The prohibition of the occupation of the stalls as dwellings.\n\n2. The repairing, &c., of the main and branch drains.\n\n3. The thorough cleansing and white-washing of the whole of the buildings both inside and outside.\n\n4. The improvement of the closet and urinal.\n\n5. More constant and complete supervision.\n\nNow, as I have stated, that report is 18 months old, and not one step has been taken with reference to it; and I have no hesitation in saying that it is a disgraceful state of affairs. I have no doubt I shall be met by the cuckoo cry of the Government that we have no funds, but as to that, I say that a profit of $30,000 or $40,000 a year is drawn from that Market, and thousands of dollars are squandered annually for useless ornamentation, although there is a crying evil like this in our midst and no steps are taken to remedy it.\n\nAs regards the various Ordinances which have been referred to in the Address, I think it will be time enough to consider the utility of them when they come before the Council for discussion. I think, with reference to the proposed light on the Gap Rock, that it is a very disappointing thing that this report has not already been forwarded to the Secretary of State. The report is of a simple nature, prepared by the Harbour Master, the Commodore, and my hon. friend opposite (the Surveyor-General), and I think it should certainly have been sent in. It is, however, satisfactory to note that H. E. the Administrator has not lost sight of this important matter.\n\nAs regards the carrying out of the extension of the Praya, I see that the blame for the delay of this scheme is chiefly laid on the Naval and Military Authorities. It is a very curious thing, but a short time ago I had a conversation with a high military authority here, and he laid the blame to a certain extent on the Civil Government. In fact, I was led to believe the Government had cooled down to a considerable extent upon this important matter. This extension of the Praya would give the Military six acres of ground, and they were prepared to pay two-thirds of the cost of the undertaking. Of course, it is possible that since that statement was made, certain alterations may have taken place; but I must say this, that I believe if the Government took this matter in hand in earnest, the Admiral, who, I believe, will soon return from the North, could be induced to consult with the General and the members of this Council, and this desirable scheme could very easily be carried out.\n\nAs regards the all-important matter of the fortifications of the colony, it is to me a most surprising thing that in his Excellency's Address no allusion is made to it whatever. This colony has been called upon to pay a very large sum towards these fortifications, and yet in an important address like this, there is not a single word of explanation as to what progress has been made, or how they at present stand. Of course, seeing that no allusion whatever has been made to it, I can only assume that things are not in a satisfactory state, because I am certain that if H. E. the Administrator could have said anything favourable with regard to them, he would be pretty certain to have done so.\n\nMy hon. friend, the senior unofficial member, in speaking of the lazaretto and the Island, Stonecutters', made some remarks I pointed out at a former meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, in which I expressed a doubt as to whether my hon. friend opposite (the Surveyor-General) would complete the work in the time he stated, and I have very great pleasure this evening in acknowledging that in thinking this work would not be completed within the stated time, I was entirely wrong. The work was completed. I was over there after the contract was finished, and I saw the work myself. I congratulate my hon. friend upon the excellent manner in which it has been completed.\n\nI may say that to me the whole Address is disappointing. It seems, I think, to have emanated from a man who says \"Well, I am soon leaving the service, and I am not going to take any more responsibility upon myself than circumstances actually compel me to.\" There is very little indication of any progressive legislation, and to me, as a newly joined member of this Council, it is very disappointing.\n\nThe SURVEYOR-GENERAL—It may be fitting, perhaps, that I should reply to some of the remarks which have fallen from the hon. member who has just addressed the Council, especially with reference to matters with which I have been connected. The hon. member called, if I may say so, very naturally and properly called for further information as to how it came to pass that the estimate for the construction of the proposed Praya between the Murray Pier and the Bio Buildings, which originally figured, as stated in his Excellency's Address, at £15,000, should have extended to £71,000, an increase of £26,000. The explanation of this increase is told in a few words. The estimate of £45,000 has reference to an early scheme I had the honour of submitting, as far back as 1874, to Sir Arthur Kennedy, which comprised the construction of a sea wall and embankment running at a uniform level throughout. Subsequently, the Admiralty objected to\n\nPage 84\n\nthe\n\nsury",

Kneeling down, I saw the executioner behead him. I saw two blows given. It was a horrible sight, so I went away before the head fell. There were about 70 or 80 faces present. I did not see any mandarin there. I do not know whether there were mandarins there or not.\n\nI am sure that the man was executed. I, Jam WA fung, was never nearer than 70 or 80 paces.

On the 10th instant, about 4.30 pm, a man whom I did not recognize brought a parcel like a despatch box to my shop. He said to me: \"I want a steam launch. I want to take this despatch to the Hip S'oi of Kowloon.\" I made a bargain with him for three dollars.\n\nI told the man to go to the Kam Ling wharf. I saw him take the envelope off the parcel and saw a red circle on it. I went with the man to the Kam Ling wharf. I saw the launch captain, P'ang Fat, there. I told the captain that the man wanted to take a despatch to Kowloon and that he could give the captain $3 when he got to Kowloon. I went back to the shop.\n\nAbout 4.45 pm, I was standing outside the door. The Wing Thing launch was lying at the wharf, bound for Tungstor. I saw some foreigners on board her. I heard that they had engaged her. The Wing Thing started and went alongside the Kam Ling. Some Chinese passengers from the Hing Shing boarded the Kam Ling. The Kam Ling returned between bridge span and Mitchell's bones.\n\nPage 192\n\n1 Bury,",

        "content_text": "(4)\n\nLarger and better building in Battery Road on the ground granted by His Excellency Sir HERCULES ROBINSON. Before proceeding further, however, we must first remark that we use the word Reformatory not in its strict meaning, but in a broad one. When we obtained the ground from Sir HERCULES ROBINSON we asked His Excellency what power had we of coercion on the boys who should be taken to the Reformatory. His Excellency said that we had no power of coercion, nor could he himself give any such power to us. Guided by this clear declaration, we built and framed our rules more after the shape of an Industrial School than of a Reformatory. On the other hand, it has always been our conviction, that it is not punishment that does away with crimes, but the preventing the youths from becoming criminals. We, therefore, constituted as a rule, first not to use coercion, but always to try to reform the boys by kindness, instruction, and work; second, to receive in our Establishment, not only the boys who have been already in Gaol, but also the young vagabonds in the streets or those who were not taken care of by their parents, to prevent them from becoming criminals.\n\nAlthough from the beginning it was known that the Government had not and could not give us any power of coercion, the Magistrates used to send to us the youths who had been brought before them, provided they had first undergone their punishment in Gaol, and, after having their terms completed, a chance was offered to them to enter the Reformatory; some remained, some left it after one or two days. To these two classes, namely, boys taken there by the Police, and destitute boys who applied for admittance the Reformatory was always open. To provide for the maintenance of these boys the Magistrate would give us a small allowance from the Poor Box. It was later on that the Government, recognising the good done by the Reformatory, voted a grant for it. The first mention made in public of the working and progress of the Reformatory was\n\n(5)\n\non the occasion of the distribution of prizes held on the 22nd March, 1869, at St. Saviour's College. We will cite some lines from the different Reports of the Roman Catholic Schools and Charitable Establishments, from which one can see the working and progress of the Institution.\n\nIn 1869 the Report gives to understand the nature of the Establishment. \"The boys of the Reformatory,\" we read therein, \"are made to learn a trade\" that is, it is a kind of Industrial School. More than once, when a favourable occasion presented itself, we insisted on the great want of Industrial Schools in Hongkong. We cannot pretend that all boys should be called to be clerks or to follow the mercantile profession; the Chinese are very good artists, and, if applied to learning trade, they would succeed. We have, however, to confess that we met with some difficulty in carrying on our system of teaching trades to the boys. We think that the reasons are: - 1st, the want of European teachers; 2nd, the difficulty of getting work; and 3rd, the competing with the shopkeepers who are, especially in these last years, united in the form of guilds and do not allow any one to work who does not belong to their societies. However, we did not lose courage, and succeeded in having a certain number of boys learning carpentership, shoemakership and tailorship, besides gardening. The cost was heavy, especially in the beginning, the Directors of the Establishment having to sink a large sum of money in raising terraces, facilitating irrigation in the garden, and ameliorating the ground; but lately, it has given a good result. We read in the report of the year 1869 published in 1870 that the inmates of the Reformatory were fifty-two in number, that trades were taught and the behaviour of the boys remarkably good.\n\nIn 1869 the Government made a grant to the Reformatory, through the recommendation of the Right Honourable Principal Secretary of State for the Colonies,\n\n522",

        "content_text": "The case for the Crown is closed. Mr Robinson addresses the jury briefly, stating the nature of the evidence which he proposes to adduce. The whole case rests on Cheng On. Exhibit C is a bit of paper to be absolutely disregarded. \n\nEmma Francesca Barnett, Sworn, states: I am the wife of Mr Burnett, a Sanitary Board Inspector. I am now living at No. 40 Elgin Street. I formerly lived at No. 5 Shelly Street. I left Shelly Street for Elgin Street on 27th May last. No. 5 Shelly Street is near the junction of Hollywood Road and Shelly Street. It is four or five minutes' walk from the Inspector's quarters where defendant lives with his wife. I came to the Colony about five years ago as nurse to Mr Lethbridge's children. I left them to marry Mr Burnett. That was on the 1st March, 1894. I afterwards made the acquaintance of defendant and his wife. At the beginning of this year, I was living at No. 5 Shelly Street and defendant was living at the Police Compound. I was on very friendly terms with defendant's wife. I was a very frequent visitor at their house. I recognise the witness Cheng On [shown to her]. Before seeing him in the witness box the other day here, I saw him last at defendant's house on the 11th March last. \n\nIt was about 3 or 4 pm; I was at the defendant's house; Cheng On came with some patterns of silk. He came into the passage and knocked at the side door. He came by the back entrance, which is in Hollywood Road. Then he came into the room. Mrs Witchell got up to see who it was at the door. Cheng On came in and he told Mrs Witchell that he had brought her some pieces of silk to \"look see\". He pulled some out from his breast. Then Mrs Witchell said \"Sit down\", and then he asked which side master was. Mrs Witchell said \"He is upstairs; I will call him\". He said \"No can stop\" and then he went away. He went away by the back entrance. He was in the room about three minutes, I should think; Mrs Witchell and I and Cheng On were there. It was between 3 and 4 pm.",

        "content_text": "## Quite recently a man passed through from Kucilin...\n\nQuite recently a man passed through from Kucilin, on his way to Canton, with a sample of coal, on which he appeared unable to place any price. An offer of 2 dollars a ton was nevertheless smilingly rejected, and I daresay friends in Canton will enlighten him, and, if occasion arise, take due advantage of his ignorance.\n\n## The revival of the silk industry...\n\nThe revival of the silk industry in this province is of comparatively recent date, and was due to the interest taken therein by Ma Pei-rao, who some ten years ago was Provincial Treasurer for Kuanghsi. It cannot be said that his efforts, on the whole, were crowned with success, as the necessary energy and capital to carry on experiments were lacking. In its neighbourhood, however, the mulberry is very extensively grown, and samples of the silk spun locally have been sent to Europe and America, where it would find a market could the growers be brought to see that it is a suicidal policy to hold out for four or five times the real value of their produce, simply because a foreigner makes inquiry regarding the same.\n\n## The export of cassia...\n\nThe export of cassia in South China is almost entirely in the hands of German firms, and once all initial difficulties have been met and overcome, they will no doubt appear on the scene and, as has been the case all over China, take full advantage of our experience, reap the benefit of our efforts without having had in the least to put themselves about.\n\n## The amount of opium produced...\n\nThe amount of opium produced in this province is insignificant, and comes principally from Chen-an-fu. I have in vain been trying to get reliable particulars regarding the Yunnan opium, which passes through on its way to the coast, but have been promised accurate information from Kueilin later on. The taxation on native opium was last year farmed out to a son of the late Governor-General of Yünnan and Kueichou, Ts'ien Yü-ying, for a sum of 38,000 taels per annum, and the total quantity exported here is, I am told, 10,000 piculs representing about 80 per cent. of the import across the Yunnan frontier. Opium which has paid duty at Pose, on entering the province, and is provided with a certificate, pays 2 taels a picul, and again 14 taels (?) at Toucheng on entering Kuang-tung. Uncertificated opium pays 4 taels a picul. Its local value is 220 taels a picul for the best quality. Retail price of refined opium 2 t. 30 m. per ounce.\n\n## Almost every traveller on the West River...\n\nAlmost every traveller on the West River has made reference to the silver mine at Kuei-hsien, said to have been discovered by the Taipings, and as a cargo of coke was recently imported from Hong Kong for the use of that mine, it would appear that yet another attempt is going to be made to work it.\n\n## Wuchow is not without its local manufactures...\n\nWuchow is not without its local manufactures. Two small factories for making matches were started here a few days ago, but one was closed in consequence of a complaint by the Japanese authorities that it was counterfeiting Japanese trade-marks, and the other finds it practically impossible to compete with the imported article. Nearly every town in China has its own brand of matches. The matches in favour locally bear the \"hunter\" mark, and, although inferior to the \"monkey\" brand, which is in use throughout Kuangtung, possess the superior qualification of containing four matches per box more.\n\n## Note regarding Restrictions on Outward Transit Passes\n\nI have, at the moment of writing, received from His Excellency the Governor a despatch on the subject of the restrictions which the Governor-General proposed to place on outward transit passes.\n\nIt is therein stated that Sir Robert Hart, to whom the Tsung-li Yamên referred the Governor-General's suggestion, had pointed out that, except in the case of cereals, any prohibition of the nature indicated would be contrary to Treaty, and that the Yamên had accordingly requested His Excellency to place no obstacle in the way of applicants for outward transit passes, whether foreigners or Chinese, in order that the objectionable monopolizing practices of the former receive a check and the false representations of the latter be brought to an end.\n\nI question, however, if Chinese merchants will avail themselves to any large extent of this privilege. The risk of undue annoyance and interference is too great.\n\n## So long as the views of experts...\n\nSo long as the views of experts regarding the most suitable type of steamer for use on the West River are held in suspense, it would be presumptuous of me to put forward views of my own, more especially as nothing is accurately known regarding the actual conditions at low water. I venture to think, however, that a steamer about 170 feet long, with very great beam, which will be able to carry 500 tons of cargo on a 4 to 5 foot draught, would not prove unsuitable. Large carrying capacity is imperative, as otherwise expenses will never allow of reasonable rates of freight being charged, and junks will prove serious competitors. Should the building of such a steamer be found impracticable, the only other alternative is the Irrawaddy Flotilla Company's system of large flats or lighters, towed by powerful light draught launches. The latter would be able to drop their tows as required at the various points en route and pick up fresh ones. Thus no time would be lost, the necessity for large go-downs less immediate, and the passengers not, as at present, be huddled together, to make room for cargo. Mr. Marty put in a transient appearance on the river at an early stage, and his large indemnity has doubtless placed an amount of spare capital at his disposal, sufficient to enable him to establish serious competition with existing lines should he feel so disposed. It is rumoured that he is negotiating for the purchase of some land near to that bought by Jardine, Matheson, and Co.\n\n## In addition to the \"pool's\" four steamers...\n\nIn addition to the \"pool's\" four steamers there are some six launches large and small, and a German lorcha, which is towed up and down, running regularly to Wuchow, and each gets a few packages of cargo and a certain proportion of passengers.\n\nOf passengers, the movements to and fro per diem amount on an average to 100 in and 90 out, and thus about 10 per cent. of the arrivals remain here. The complaints of the natives of Wuchow that the large influx of Cantonese has considerably raised the cost of living for them, without affording them any compensatory advantages, are not without justification.\n\n## From a carrier's point of view...\n\nFrom a carrier's point of view, it is a matter of great regret that it should not have been practicable to adopt the route, via Fatshan and Sainam, from Canton to Samshui. The latter port can be reached in six hours by the inland channels and small powered launches, whereas the steamers take from ten to twelve hours, the time occupied by a slipper boat in making the same journey. They are also thereby deprived of their share of the large trade which is carried on by junks between Fatshan, Sainam, and Wuchow. The local agent at Jardine, Matheson, and Co. has endeavoured slightly to remedy this state of things by running a stern wheel junk in connection with the steamers between Fatshan and Samshui, and the experiment is proving eminently successful. One reason for this is that the steamer's bulk is at present moored on the Sainam side of the Samshui li-kin station, and thus the junk's cargo escapes payment of the dues to which it would be subject had it to pass that barrier. It remains to be seen what will happen when the steamers can only come as far as Kongken or when the li-kin authorities discover this innocent evasion of their charges.\n\n## The Customs provisional Regulations...\n\nThe Customs provisional Regulations for trade on the West River having only been published on the 10th instant, sufficient time has not yet elapsed to show to what extent they will enable steamers to participate in the transport carried on by junk between the ports and stages, more especially between Kongmun and Hong Kong and Canton. Those interested may congratulate themselves on the total absence of any reference to supplementary payments of li-kin, as, had such been regulated on the Tariff in force on the Yang-tze, foreign vessels would not have secured a single package. To have made shippers pay duty on that basis would simply have been to mulet them one and a-half Tariff duty for shipping in foreign bottoms. On the Yang-tze, where the distances are great, it may prove advantageous, but certainly not on the short stretches of this river.\n\n## Almost every steamer leaving here...\n\nAlmost every steamer leaving here for Hong Kong takes with it sugar and rhea fibre for Kongmun, where the latter is made up into grass cloth. As I understand that, after many years of experiment, a process has been invented whereby this fibre can be successfully manipulated in Europe, a large export trade therein ought to spring up in the future.\n\n## The Canton steamers get a certain amount...\n\nThe Canton steamers get a certain amount of export cargo, chiefly indigo for Samshui, but practically no import cargo. This, I am told, is due to a practice that has for years been tolerated in Canton, in consequence of which a li-kin boat has been allowed to moor alongside of the Customs examination shed, and, whenever cargo has paid Tariff export duty, it is at once pounced upon and made to pay li-kin as well. Chinese shippers at least say such is, or rather will be the case, should they ship by steamer, and, although often urged to do so, no one has hitherto been bold enough to make a trial shipment.\n\n## I hear that Mr. Wang Ts'un-shan...\n\nI hear that Mr. Wang Ts'un-shan has a scheme whereby he hopes to divert all trade from the foreign customs and the steamers into his own hands by a lowering of native duties and li-kin, but as I am not in possession of the figures I am unable to furnish particulars.\n\n## In connection with what I have stated above...\n\nIn connection with what I have stated above regarding a regular transport service to Nanning, a further argument in its favour is that it would do away with the feeling of insecurity, which merchants at present experience owing to the rascality of the boatmen plying on that section of the river. It is by no means an uncommon occurrence for them to decamp with valuable cargoes intrusted to their care, leaving only the shell of their boats.\n\n[1107 p-1]",

WITH reference to my despatch No. 219 of the 20th July last, I have the honour to transmit to your Lordship herewith copy of an extract from a further Intelligence Report from Her Majesty's Consulate at Canton, respecting piracy and robbery in the Kuangtung Province.\n\nIt is suggested that it is in the power of launch owners to take more effective measures for their own protection than they have hitherto taken; and also that the native silk dealers are inclined, in their own interests, to exaggerate the reports of lawlessness in the interior of the province.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed) H. O. BAX-IRONSIDE.\n\nInclosure in No. 1.\n\nExtract from Canton Intelligence Report for September Quarter, 1899.\n\nPiracy and Robbery. A few fresh cases of minor importance have occurred during the quarter, the usual plan having been adopted by the pirates of mingling among the passengers. There is no doubt that launch masters are very remiss in searching the passengers for arms, and unless this is done, the door is left wide open for outrages of the kind. The Viceroy, in despatches to the Commissioner and the Consul, has respectively enjoined and urged this precaution, and the Commissioner has issued a Notice, directing Chinese launch-masters to search the passengers, while the Consul, in a Circular notification to British launch owners, has strongly advocated the same course. The Viceroy has declined to entertain Mr. W. Waters' scheme (alluded to in last report), for the suppression of piracy, alleging that the torpedo-boats are required for their original purpose, and that Waters has his duties at the Naval and Military College which will give him ample occupation.\n\nActive Measures.-It was found necessary to send troops to a place called Sai Chui, in the south-western portion of Nanhai district, to put down the robbers who were said to be seriously interfering with the silk industry. The Government soldiers were roughly handled at first, but they retaliated in kind by raising a village and driving away the inhabitants, after which the majority returned to Canton in triumph, leaving a few in the place to keep order.\n\nSeizure of Arms.-The way these banditti are supplied with arms and ammunition is illustrated by the fact that on the 6th September, the Customs authorities seized on board the German steamer “Süllberg,” 220 revolvers of Belgian manufacture, and forty-two Mauser rifles. The revolvers were packed in two old condensed milk cases, and the rifles were wrapped up in straw mats. The evidence showing that some Chinese firemen took the arms on board at Hong Kong on the 5th September, the German Consul consented to their being discharged from the ship and handed over to the Chinese authorities.\n\nSilk Dealers and Pirates.-It is very much to be suspected that the native silk dealers were working the piracy scare for all it was worth, in order to get their Petitions regarding the state of affairs forwarded through the Consulate. Their method is best illustrated by a concrete instance. A is a native silk merchant under contract to deliver silk to B, a foreign merchant in Canton. The goods are to be conveyed at A's risk, and he will receive no payment until they are safely stored in B's go-down. A then informs B that he is afraid of pirates and robbers, that he dare not bring the silk down, and forwards a Chinese Petition which he requests B to hand to the Consul for transmission to the Viceroy. The Consul refuses to do this, but says to B, that if A does not fulfil his contract, he is quite ready to prosecute him before his own authorities,\n\n[2382 7-1]",

        "content_text": "## 492\n\nSudden and violent freshets come down from Yunnan between May and October, but the open country is rarely flooded, and the river not only rises but also falls very fast. No town of even third-rate importance is passed en route, and though Ping Ma and other places the cultivation of paddy, indigo, rhea, &c., is dense and extensive, there are still large uncultivated areas even close to the river and in the valley bottoms.\n\nThe West River Valley would certainly bear a much larger population if the public peace could be guaranteed. It is to such a gradual increase of the population, to the development of mines, and to the encouragement of such special products as silk, indigo, rhea, &c., that we must look for an increase in the now not very great volume of Kwansi trade.\n\nThe banks of the West River right away into Yünnan are infested still with bands of pirates, or \"yin yung.\" The \"army\" of \"Maréchal Su,\" on the southern frontier, furnishes an inexhaustible supply of Bardolphs, Nyms, and Pistols. Just before I passed along (September 1899), three opium robberies, accompanied with violence and homicide, had occurred, and the river traffic was reduced to a minimum. The road north from Po-sê into Kueichou, which was impassable when the Blackburn Commission passed through Kueichow, is now open, the merchants having put up a large sum to secure an efficient policing; but the river itself, especially above Po-sê, is as bad as ever, and until this brigandage is suppressed, it is hopeless to expect a large trade.\n\nThe river between Nanning and Po-sê will not be navigable for steamers, except occasionally at high water. As a light 3-foot draught boat could do the journey in three days in good water, it may prove profitable to take advantage of a favourable river to run up to Po-sê with sycee and yarn and bring down opium and aniseed oil. The extra security and speed would probably admit of high freights, but there is always the risk of the river suddenly going down and leaving the steamer high and dry.\n\nShallows rather than rapids are the trouble all along the West River. Po-sê is a busy little town of some 12,000 inhabitants. When I was there quantities of Kueichou opium were coming down, but the Yunnan trade is trifling. Mules very rarely come to Po-sê, and the journey across the frontier to Pê Ngai has to be performed in small sampans worked by Shans. The rapids are violent and the scenery magnificent, but the robbers are stated to be numerous.\n\nPê Ngai is a wretched little town, the usual terminus of the mule route from Yunnan, but it is by no means easy to get beasts at a moment's notice. Pê Ngai, 700 feet, to Kwang-uan, 4,000 feet (the first town on the plateau of Yunnan), is eight stages over a serbonian bog which the Chinese are pleased to call a road. The country is all ups and downs, the rains are long and heavy, and no one ever spends a cent on repairs. The consequent delay, damage to goods, and wear and tear of beasts is a most serious item of expense. The country itself up to Kwangnan is very thinly populated by Shans and Chinese from Ssuchuan and Canton. The poverty and dirt in their dwellings is deplorable, and it is not surprising that fever and plague hold permanent session here.\n\nOn arriving at Kwangnan the exhausted and mud-caked traveller has a choice of routes; to Mengtze direct is seven days; the roads on the plateau are better, but the country up to the Valley of Mengtze is as poor as the Pê Ngai district. I took a short cut, avoiding the city of Kai Hua, and travelled for four days through lonely valleys filled with marshes, the home of wild-fowl and malaria; here and there were some mud and wattle huts, where the few inhabitants shiver away their ague-stricken existence. From the commercial point of view the country is the abomination of desolation. I found the natives new to quinine, and I was bombarded with requests for the \"white frost,\" which in many cases it would have been sheer cruelty to refuse.\n\nFrom Kuangnan to Yunnan is about fifteen days. Kwangnan itself is a sleepy hollow of no commercial importance.\n\nThus goods coming up from Nanning to Po-sê will still have a hard journey of at least twenty days before reaching the real markets of Yunnan. Unless something is done to clear the road of mud and robbers the prospect cannot be considered good.\n\nIn eight days' travel between Pê Ngai and Kwangnan I met two large opium caravans (about 200 beasts in each); besides that nothing but a few loads of hides, bones, and medicines. There are two li-kins en route.\n\nMengtze from every point of view, and especially the military, is a place of the utmost importance to the Chinese Government. It is therefore not surprising to find that the garrison consists of four officers, two men, and a boy, all of whom have conscientious objections to having anything to do with \"villanous salpetre.\" Mengtze is the key of the chief natural trade route from the low country on to the plateau. It is also the screen of the rich districts round Lin An and of the capital itself; any one in possession of Mengtze could overawe Yünnan-fu so effectually as to control all the officials in the province, and 100 French soldiers might walk in and take the place any day; indeed, I am convinced that this is the fate which is ultimately in store for Mengtze. If such a move was made combined with a demonstration near Lung-chou, I feel sure \"Maréchal\" Su and his officers would bolt. The fact probably is that the French Government at home is aware of the weak and uncertain position which they occupy in Tonquin itself. Their \"jumping-off ground\" is so unsteady that they are not prepared to make a leap. They are so feeble that the hands of guerillas into which Su's \"army\" would break up on the occurrence of hostilities would do them a great deal of harm. Otherwise it is inexplicable why Mengtze was not taken instead of Kuangchou Wan.\n\n1899 is likely to be a bumper year for Mengtze, and the trade is steadily developing; chiefly on account of transit passes being respected. Now, I have several times seen the statement that this circumstance was due to \"the energetic action of the French authorities which contrasts so favourably with the weakness displayed, &c.\" In fact the French authorities have had nothing whatever to do with transits; the goods are mostly ours, and the passes are taken out in the names of Chinese firms; it is not, therefore, clear how the French Consul would have any locus standi even if irregularities did occur. The present excellent system is due to the action of the Customs and the Taotai who opened the port, an official who objected to the li-kin, and who insisted on passes being respected; thus, from the commencement of the trade it became a matter of custom.\n\nThe Taotai at Nanning declared, but I know not on what authority, that there was no immediate prospect of the Lungchou Railway being really pushed forward; but at Mengtze the French evidently mean business and have gone about it in a very one French way. The country has been overrun with \"Missions de Chemin de Fer.\" One mission sent out from home by the Public Works (Guillemoto); a second by the Tonquin military authorities (Pennequin); a third by the banks who are financing the railway. All these expeditions have been separate and more or less hostile to each other, and have trouble with the people.\n\nAt the time of the Mengtze riot there were over thirty Frenchmen in the city, besides a number at various mines and in Yünnan-fu; some of these gentlemen owe their position to being friends of M. Doumer's political supporters, who have accordingly \"dumped\" them down in Tonquing. The Governor-General's hurried visit to the Yunnan Viceroy has had no good result, and did much to bring to a head the popular and official suspicion and dislike of Frenchmen.\n\nM. Doumer appears to have thought that a Chinese Viceroy is a kind of King Coffee, to whom it is only necessary to offer a sufficient quantity of gin in order to procure any Treaty you may want. He was soon undeceived; some of his presents were rejected and no definite Concession for a railway station at the capital could be obtained; the Viceroy also objected to commencing the railway at Yünnan. His position was:\n\n\"We have no money to embark in unprofitable enterprises; the province is poor and this is a losing affair; the people, too, are strongly opposed to it; you have got your permit from Peking; begin your honourable railway at your end with your own money and come along gradually. The people will then get accustomed to it and in a few years later there will be plenty of time to talk of Concessions at Yunnan-fu, which now I have no authority to make.\"\n\nAs regards the railway, I gather that the position is this: all surveys have been practically completed, and a route (not the present mule route) has been found up to the plateau from Manhao, where a road for railway services is being made, but there is likely to be a long delay in getting plant out, and possibly special boats will have to be constructed to bring it up to Laokay. The French Foreign Office is lukewarm, and the various parties interested in the line are not likely to work well together.\n\nThe Mengtze riot last summer was a much more serious affair than appeared, and it was extremely lucky that none of the foreigners on the Customs staff were killed. The riot was undoubtedly directed against the French Consulate, but the mob could not distinguish between that building and the Customs. There is no reason to suppose that the officials were directly concerned in the riot which was so well organized as to be a sort of local rebellion. Two of the Mengtze Yamên runners had been killed a day or two beforehand by one of the ringleaders whom they had tried to arrest.",

B. Sharp, K.C., Acting Attorney-General (instructed by Mr. F. B. L. Bowley, Crown Solicitor), conducted the prosecution; and Mr. T. Morgan Phillips, barrister-at-law, was for the defence.\n\nThe following jury was empanelled:- Messrs. W. Nicholls, P. Dow, R. Saron, J. W. Crouch, P. Hardman, J. A. T. Plummer, and A. S. Anton. Foreman, Mr Dow.\n\nThe Acting Attorney-General, in opening the case, said the accused was charged as being a member, in fact the leader, of a gang of four men who committed this deed in concert together. All four of these men had been for some time known to the Crown by name, but the other three unfortunately were not before the Court. They had not been caught, and in all probability would never be found within the jurisdiction of this Colony, so that they could be caught. The prisoner only returned to Hong-kong last month and was arrested.\n\nThe circumstances of the murder were fairly notorious. Deceased lived at 52, Gage Street, in a corner house fronting upon that street and Aberdeen Street. He rented the whole of the first floor, consisting of a large room and two cubicles and a kitchen in the rear. The ground at the back was almost one storey higher than in front. The first floor was entered by the back from a lane and was practically on a level with the lane, which debouched into Aberdeen Street by a short flight of steps. Deceased conducted a night school for the teaching of English to Chinese boys and young men. The classes commenced at six o'clock, in the large front room.\n\nOn the evening in question, deceased was sitting at a table in the centre of the room, reading to a class from a book. The door was on the latch for the convenience of pupils arriving late, and it was consequently easy for anybody to enter without attracting any particular attention. The wife of the deceased man, her daughter, and two small children were in the cubicles at the back of the premises.\n\nAbout half-past six o'clock, a man suddenly appeared in the classroom. He was not noticed for a moment by a few there, but not by the deceased. This man walked a certain distance into the room, fairly close up to the table, and suddenly discharged three or four shots at the deceased. The shots took effect, and deceased fell forward onto the table. The pupils fled in panic, and in the confusion, the man who fired the shots, along with another man who accompanied him, escaped.\n\nHis Lordship: I presume you are going to prove this—that these officials publicly offered a reward for the man's apprehension or assassination.\n\nThe Acting Attorney-General: I shall prove that.\n\nThe circumstances of the murder continued. Deceased's wife and daughter rushed into the room, found him in a state of collapse, and called the police. When the injured man was taken to the hospital, Dr. Bell found that his injuries were too serious to allow of the extraction of the bullets. He died the next morning. Three bullets were found in the body, and the cause of death was certified to be internal hemorrhage. Deceased made a dying declaration implicating the Chinese Government, saying that they had offered a reward of $20,000 for his life.\n\nTam Chung, a Yaumati fisherman, said he made the acquaintance of the prisoner on his uncle's marriage boat at Yaumati in April, 1900. Witness went to live with him in the capacity of a cook. He left on the 5th January, 1901, as he was afraid of being implicated. The prisoner had pointed out this Yueng Kus Wan to him and asked him to assist in beating him. Witness refused.\n\nThe Acting Attorney-General continued, saying the Chinese Government had sent the man down from Canton, and \"everything was to be done.\" Prisoner reconnoitred the back of the house and presently came down and joined his two companions at the foot of the flight of steps. There they had a short conversation, and then the other two men went up the steps and entered the house, the prisoner mounting guard at the corner so as to command Aberdeen Street and the lane at the back of the house. The shots were fired immediately after these two men entered the house.\n\nPrisoner said he had come from Canton and asked witness to put him up. They refused. The prisoner disappeared and was not seen again. But presently, afterwards, the whole gang were back in Canton, where they stayed in Li Ka Chuk's barracks for ten days or more, during which time the murder was very frequently discussed, and the prisoner frequently referred to it, boasting that he committed the deed and claiming the reward for it.\n\nLi Ka Chuk, the mandarin in Canton, he said, offered a reward of between $10,000 and $20,000 to anyone who would kill Yueng Kus Wan. Prisoner asked the pilot to help him get someone to kill the deceased. Prisoner said that if there was a reward, he would get someone to kill the deceased.\n\nThe Acting Attorney-General concluded by saying that the jury must leave out of consideration any sympathy they might have with the Reform movement. Notwithstanding the extraordinary breach committed by the Chinese Government or officials of the fundamental principles of international rights and the intolerableness of having a foreign government's emissaries entering their territory for the purpose of murdering somebody who was under the protection of their flag but was obnoxious to that foreign government, it was conceivable that the Chinese officials who organised this affair were actuated by patriotic motives.\n\nE. W. Carpenter, P.W.D., was the first witness. He put in and proved plans of the house 52, Gage Street.\n\nHis Lordship: Because it is a very serious allegation to make against those officials.\n\nThe Acting Attorney-General: I think I will prove it to your Lordship's satisfaction.\n\nThe Acting Attorney-General continued, saying this mandarin really organised this murder, although he did not actually come to Hongkong; and some of his braves were in the gang who committed the murder. Yung Ching Kai, captain of the Chinese gunboat Ai Yui, came to Hongkong and acted as intermediary between the mandarin and his emissaries. Prisoner was the leader of the gang who committed the deed.\n\nAfter other witnesses had given evidence, Dr. Bell went into the box. He described the man's condition when brought into hospital and spoke to the dying deposition made by the deceased and written down by witness at the time.\n\nDeceased's deposition was to the effect that he was teaching at the English school in Gage Street when very quietly the murderer came in and shot him four times. He did not know...\n\nThe wife of the murdered man next gave evidence. When she heard the report of firearms, she said, she came out from the cubicle where she had been lying on the bed and met all the pupils running out. When she went into the front room, she found her husband leaning forward with his head on his hands. He was bleeding.\n\nA young Chinese who was a student of the deceased and who was in the room when the murder was committed gave evidence as to the deed.\n\nCross-examined—There was no other stranger in the room but the man who fired the shots. Prisoner was not there.\n\nCross-examined—Witness was a fisherman and had his own boat in Yaumati. He gave up cooking in January, 1901, before which date he had never been a fisherman. His uncle gave him the boat. Witness had a brother named Tam Tai who visited the house where he was cooking for the prisoner, but witness knew nothing about his antecedents, nor whether he was hiding from the police in consequence of...",

        "content_text": "2\n\nmatter to the Taotai, pointing out among other things: (1) that a transit pass for opium was a non-existent document; and (2) that, whereas the total dues now charged on opium shipped through the foreign Customs were 5.28 taels li-kin, 20 taels export or departure duty at Chungking and 52 taels arrival duty at Ichang, these would under the new arrangement, whereby the Szechuan departure duty became payable to the li-kin authorities, be augmented by the payment of an arrival duty of 20 taels to the Imperial Maritime Customs at Ichang on shipment of the drug on board steamer at that port. In other words, the total duty charged would be 97.28 taels in lieu of 77.28 taels. He also endeavoured to make it clear that the dues on the drug not destined for places beyond Shanghae had all along fallen to the share of the li-kin authorities, and that, seeing that Szechuan had now as competitors in the opium production of the Empire the Provinces of Shantung, Honan, Anhui, Kiangsu, Kwangsi, Yunnan, and Kweichow, the policy of increasing the dues on the opium shipped through the Imperial Maritime Customs to Shanghae, the south and the coast ports, was a suicidal one, involving an increase in price to the consumer of the Szechuan article and a consequent fall in the demand.\n\nIn the end, the Proclamation was withdrawn and a return made to the practice hitherto in force. I may here mention that, were Wan Hsien an open port, it would be the natural outlet for the opium produced in the Liangshan and Fengtu districts, which would thus be spared the up-river trip to Chungking to permit of shipment through the foreign Customs.\n\nOn the 16th ultimo a further Proclamation was posted notifying the inauguration of an export li-kin on goods leaving Chungking by the three main land routes.\n\nThese are:-\n\n1. Through the Chao Tien gate, and thence across the Little River to Chiang-pei from which, following along the course of this waterway, it runs viâ Hochou and Suining to Chengtu.\n\n2. Through the Nan Chi and Tung Yuan gates viâ Fu Ton Kuan to Yung Chutan, Pi Shan Hsien, Chiang Chin, Ta Tsu, Jung Chang, Lang Chang, &c., and Chengtu.\n\n3. Through the Taiping and Ch'u Ch'i gates to Hai T'an Ch'i across the Yang-tsze, thence to the Kweichow Province.\n\nThe rapacity displayed by Chao Chian, the deputy in charge of this collection, did not stop short of the smallest article passing through the gates mentioned to the places indicated. His p'iao were for as infinitesimal a sum as 1 cash, and not even a box of matches, pair of shoes, hat, piece of ribbon, &c., purchased by peasants and coolies were exempt. In the prosecution of his scheme he detained, as a li-kin payment on a consignment of bristles purchased by the Chungking Trading Company and passing through the Taiping gate, a case and basket of these goods which were about to cross the river to the godowns of the Company on the opposite side. Mr. Nicholson, the local representative of the firm at once requested me to obtain their release, which was duly effected. Mr. Chao's life was a short one: the populace was becoming so enraged at his impositions that the sacking of his Yamen was determined upon. On hearing of this, the Tantai sent a hasty wire to the Viceroy; the Commandant of the local militia had his men under orders to appear on the scene at the first sign of disturbance and to attempt, by exhortation-not by use of arms-to prevent the people achieving their purpose; while the deputy in charge of the Lao li-kin (import), whose office is situated in the same street as that of his confrère, lost no time in putting up a Proclamation to the following effect: \"It is not me: these are not my ways. It is the man next door: vent your wrath upon him.\" The Viceroy saved the situation by telegraphing the dismissal of Chao and placing the Chungking Prefect temporarily in charge.\n\nIt will be seen from the above how determined is the effort being made to stimulate the li-kin collection, the work, as I have already stated, of the Chief of the Head Li-kin Office at Chengtu. On the 25th March last, Messrs. Jardine, Matheson and Co. reported that a consignment of their goods, properly furnished with transit passes for Chengtu, had there been detained for li-kin and requested me to obtain their release. Having satisfied myself that the case was a bona fide one, I communicated by telegraph with His Majesty's Consul-General, who at once effected the required release.\n\n(Signed)\n\nH. E.

Confidential.) (Extract.)\n\nChungking, June 30, 1904.\n\nI HAVE the honour to inclose herewith copy of a Report on the trade of Thibet with the Province of Szechuan, through Kuan Hsien, Mao Chow, and Sungp'an, written by the Commissioner of Customs at this port, and which that gentleman has kindly allowed me to transmit for your Lordship's confidential information. Mr. W. C. H. Watson has been stationed for three years in Chungking, and is well acquainted with the commercial conditions of the province.\n\n(Confidential.)\n\nInclosure in No. 1.\n\nReport on the Trade of Thibet.\n\nKuan Hsien.-The trade of Kuan Hsien is of considerable importance, as may be seen from the figures given in the table. Situated as the town is on the border-line dividing Chinese Szechuan proper from that portion of the province inhabited by the Mantzu tribes, the chief business of the place consists of dealings in wool, soda, indigo, and of the medicines of the Chinese pharmacopoeia for which these districts are noted. It is also the centre of many coal mines, the produce of which is in demand on account of the excellence of the output. Medicines are brought in by merchants who periodically visit the tribesmen for purposes of trade and with whom dealings are conducted by a system of exchange and barter. A Chinese merchant will come into Kuan Hsien with the stock he has thus procured, proceed to one of the many inns, and inform the inn-keeper of what he has for sale. The inn-keepers act as a sort of brokers; they have the daily price of staples posted up in their establishments, and introduce customers. Customers thus introduced, mostly agents for Chengtu firms, buy on credit of one or two months, as the case may be, and the innkeeper is responsible to the seller for the payment of goods when due. For his services he charges a fixed rate of 3 per cent. on all transactions taking place at his inn. Ready money dealings are rare and do not appear to be appreciated.\n\nESTIMATED Annual Quantities of Goods passing inwards through Kuan Hsien.\n\n  \n    Description\n    Classifier of Quantity\n    Quantity\n    Value\n  \n  \n    Medicines\n    Value\n    \n    Taels. 180,000\n  \n  \n    Young deer horns\n    Catties\n    1,500\n    30,000\n  \n  \n    Old deer horns\n    Piculs\n    1,500\n    6,000\n  \n  \n    Musk\n    Taels\n    16,000\n    216,000\n  \n  \n    Wool\n    Piculs\n    5,000\n    55,000\n  \n  \n    Indigo\n    Value\n    \n    160,000\n  \n  \n    Soda\n    \n    \n    150,000\n  \n  \n    Timber\n    \n    \n    60,000\n  \n  \n    Total\n    \n    \n    847,000\n  \n\n[2108 u-1]",

        "content_text": "## 2\n\nIn my despatch No. 12 of the 16th January, 1906. His Majesty's Judge was quite prepared to conduct the inquiry, and he wrote to Sir Ernest Satow on the 11th January a despatch to that effect, explaining at the same time how the plan failed to be carried out. The inquiry did not take place owing to the refusal of the two Magistrates to attend.\n\nThe minutes of the Consular Body's meeting with the Taotai of the 13th December, 1905, show that they repeatedly offered to fully investigate all matters connected with the Mixed Court, but only asked that it should first be reopened. This proposal was persistently ignored by Yuan Taotai; he would not open the Court unless his conditions were complied with unreservedly (see inclosure in my despatch No. 104 of the 24th December, 1905).\n\nNevertheless, in writing on the 22nd December (after the riot and the arrival in Shanghae of the Viceroy) to the Senior Consul announcing the reopening of the Court, Yuan Taotai stated that there was an agreement that the police concerned should, \"after inquiry, be severely dealt with,\" and that the case of Mr. Twyman should be arranged with the Wai-wu Pu.\n\nMr. Drummond's second letter appeared in the \"North China Daily News\" of the 8th instant, and appears as being spontaneous, not provoked. The foreign press, while occasionally translating items of news from the native papers, has refrained during all these months almost altogether from comment on the subject; the native press has from time to time given fitful attention to the matter when any new development, rumoured or actual, has occurred; but nothing has arisen to my knowledge or that of the police to show that there will, as Mr. Drummond stated in his telegram to the Foreign Office, be serious trouble if the indemnity is paid without full inquiry. If the publicity given to the matter in the native press was intended to resuscitate public excitement, it has signally failed.\n\nIn the second paragraph of this letter Mr. Drummond states that the case on the Chinese side is \"that the riot was the natural outcome of the grossly aggressive policy of the Municipal Council during 1904 and 1905.\" The scheme of inquiry laid before you by the Wai-wu Pu, comprehensive as it is, does not include anything of the kind.\n\nIf the third paragraph of this letter is a correct statement of the present position of the Chinese Government on this question, it constitutes a complete change of front entirely out of accordance with their despatch to you of the 7th May this year. Mr. Drummond's letter would lead the public to believe that this had all along been their attitude; and a curious admission of the connection of the Chinese officials with the riot is to be observed in his statement that it was the natural outcome of the \"Council's aggressive policy,\" and this becomes specially significant when it is remembered that the rioting was the work of the dregs of the population.\n\nThe fifth paragraph is prophetic of further trouble in Shanghae between foreigners and Chinese if an inquiry is held here. Evidently Mr. Drummond wishes the foreign public to believe that an inquiry will mean the stirring up of ill-feeling, at the same time that he is attempting to persuade the Foreign Office that settlement of the claims without inquiry will result in serious trouble.\n\nIt is difficult to conjecture what may be the object of these letters; they are quite uncalled for by any development in the situation, and, coming from a person holding a semi-official position in the service of the Chinese authorities, they constitute an attempt to aggravate a situation already not without difficulty, and, misrepresenting the facts as they do, they have a most mischievous tendency. He is speaking throughout for the Chinese authorities, and I have no doubt particularly for the former Taotai Yuan, who is now in Shanghae after a visit to Nanking made, it is said, in connection with the question of the claims.\n\nThe strong resemblance in some points between the letter signed by the two Mixed Court Magistrates on the 8th January and Mr. Drummond's letters to the \"Mercury\" and the \"North China Daily News\" incline me to the belief that he has throughout been the adviser and support of Yuan and the other Chinese authorities in their attitude respecting the fracas, the riots, and the resulting claims. It will be necessary to watch carefully for any further effusions of a similar kind, and for the effect they may have upon native opinion as shown in the press or otherwise; and I consider it my duty to bring the present letters to your notice without delay as having some bearing upon the question of the claims as it stands at present.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed) **PELHAM L. WARREN**.\n\n## 3\n\n### Inclosure 2 in No. 1.\n\n#### Extract from the \"Shanghae Mercury\" of July 3, 1907.\n\nIf Britons are getting a little angry at the delay over the settlement of the claim for indemnity on account of the riots of the 18th December, 1903, it is only what might be expected. The protection of China is all very well when it comes to such attempts at her despoilment as were made by Russia in Manchuria in the first years of this century. It is all very well for the Britain of the West to join the Britain of the East, and say that such attempts shall no longer be tolerated from anybody. But between that and submission to the hot-headed instigation of riot of which Yüan Taotai was guilty in 1905 there is a great gulf fixed,\n\nfor redress, and our patience is exhausted. There were heavy losses on that occasion which have not yet been made good, but which must be made good if only to prevent such attempts in the future. To draw back now would be fatal to foreign prestige.\n\nBut there are two sides to the question, say the Chinese. Granted. Let the whole set of circumstances be thoroughly investigated by a Tribunal fit for the purpose. We have offered to have it so submitted. We have declared our willingness to place the whole case before the present Chief Justice in Shanghae, and with him the present Taotai. What can the Chinese Government want that is fairer than that? But we insist, as is customary in British Courts, that the investigation shall be thorough, that nothing shall be done by halves, but that, as our form of oath puts it, we shall \"do the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.\" To do that we should require the presentment in Court of all necessary documents, official and otherwise. Specially we should require the presence in the witness-box of his Excellency Yüan Taotai, as he then was, and his son.\n\nIt is our belief that with such evidence as would then be forthcoming, and such as we already have, there would be no difficulty in proving our case, which is that the riot was the direct result of the inflammatory speeches, some of them official speeches, which were delivered shortly before the event, with the express intention of rousing native feeling against foreigners in general and the Council and its officers in particular. We feel pretty confident that it could be conclusively shown that the actual rioters--many of them, at any rate--came into the Settlement from the outside, and that the officials knew they were coming and what they were coming for.\n\nAre these things so, or are they not? If the Chinese officials deny them, there is the simple course before them which we have mentioned. Let them not merely agree to the examination, let them demand it for the sake of their honour. Can it be imagined for a moment that innocence would shrink from so perfect a means of vindicating herself? But no; the Chinese officials have long since refused to have anything to do with such an inquiry! Of course, they have a reason which may be conclusive to native understandings, but which to us is but a quibble fit only for such as dare not come under the searchlight of truth. They cannot accept such a suggestion for the reason that his Excellency Yuan is now of higher rank than the present Taotai. This, as we say, may appear in Chinese eyes a sufficient reply, but to us who know nothing whatever, not even the person of the King himself, to be above the law, the excuse is too poor a one to bear any weight whatever. If that is the only answer, the matter must be decided against China in default. And that is probably what she expects. The suggestion of the present Viceroy, Tuan Fang, some time ago, that if the indemnity were paid there would be another riot, can be looked upon only in the light of a threat before which it is utterly impossible that we can recede. We have made certain demands on certain grounds, believing those grounds to be so sure that we are willing to have them examined with all the legal light that can be brought to bear on them. The Chinese refuse to satisfy our demands; they also refuse to have the case examined. We are thus at a deadlock, out of which there will soon be no issue but by force.\n\nIn all probability the Peking Government is only too anxious to save its protégé, Tuan, who is very rich, and who had in Chy Hung-chi an extremely powerful supporter in the metropolis. It will be remembered that while the riot affair was still at fever heat the then Taotai was promoted to the Governorship of Peking, as proof positive that his action had the approval of the officials then in power. That, however, will not affect our determination to have justice done, and it is because this has been so long delayed that we once more draw attention to it. Western nations are not, as a ...\n\n`B 2 [2652 i--2]`\n\n132",

Bryant and May have arranged to let the Japanese makers use their name and label; but this statement lacks confirmation.\n\nThe box inclosed was one of a packet bought at a Parsee shop, and the genuine British product is said to be unknown in Hankow.\n\nI have, &c. (Signed)\n\nE. H. FRASER,\n\n(No. 97.) Sir,\n\nInclosure 3 in No. 1.\n\nConsul-General Fraser to Sir J. Jordan.\n\nHankow, December 11, 1907. IN continuation of my despatches Nos. 89 and 94 of the 11th and 29th November, I have the honour to forward imitations of British salt, American soap, and condensed milk, and German socks, pencils, and soap purchased at a native shop which deals exclusively in Japanese products, and stated that each article was sold to it by Japanese.\n\nThe salt is an exact counterfeit as regards bottle and labels; it tastes somewhat saline and will not burn in the fire; the tablet of Colgate and Co.'s soap is only suspect.\n\nThe \"Eagle\" brand milk, described on the top of the tin as \"Austrian Alpine Milk,” on the label as \"prepared in Holland,\" and stamped in Chinese with the hong name of the China Mutual Life Insurance Company, is sold wrapped in a facsimile of the Borden Condensed Milk Company's wrapper. Like the spurious tin of Meyer and Co.'s condensed milk, this imitation may do immense harm, since in Hankow only sick persons and children are treated with condensed milk.\n\nThe alleged soap of Gustav Boehm, Offenbach and London, has inside the cover a wrapper of Japanese paper bearing a trade-mark different from the wafer sealing the ends of the cord.\n\nThe \"Gent's Yellow\" hose, \"waranded \" German, are sufficiently foreign to deceive a Chinese here who knows Carlowitz and Co. as the Li-ho foreign hong.\n\nThe four packets of pencils are all sold in the same box bearing the Swan Pencil Company's label. Two may be genuine, if inferior, Bavarian goods, though it will be noticed that the outer wrapper is easily removable; but the \"H.C. Kurz Best\" label is very suspicious. The \"Star\" packet confesses to a foreigner it is \"made in Oriental,\" but all a native would observe is the star on the pencil.\n\nOf close imitations of sundries except for the substitution in English of a Japanese for the foreign maker's name, my informant states there is no end in these native shops stocked from Japanese dealers.\n\nI have, &c. (Signed)\n\nE. H. FRASER,\n\n(No. 140.) Sir,\n\nInclosure 4 in No. 1.\n\nConsul-General Sir P. Warren to Sir J. Jordan.\n\nShanghae, December 9, 1907. WITH reference to your telegram No. 60 of the 2nd ultimo on the subject of the imitation and use in China by Japanese of British trade-marks, and to my reply of the 7th instant, I have the honour to inclose herewith copy of the letter which I received from the Chairman of the China Association in reply to my request for further evidence in substantiation of the charges made to the Foreign Office by the Secretary of the Association in London.\n\nI also inclose, in original, the two Memoranda referred to in the Chairman's letter.\n\nI have, &c. (Signed)\n\nPELHAM WARREN.\n\nSir,\n\nInclosure 5 in No. 1.\n\nChina Association to Consul-General Sir P. Warren.\n\nChina Association, Shanghae Branch, December 6, 1907.\n\nI HAVE the honour to acknowledge receipt of your favour of the 3rd instant, and, in reply, beg to state that the only cases of infringements of trade-marks by Japanese that have come under the notice of my Committee have been-\n\nThe British-American Tobacco Company (Limited), eigarettes. Mouson et Cie., soap.\n\nBuchanan and Co., whisky.*\n\nThese firms have made no complaint to the Association; but the two former articles, originals and imitated, came into the hands of the Secretary, who forwarded same to the London Committee.\n\nMy Committee would, however, point out that it is in Changsha (where Dr. Morrison, Times\" correspondent, materially increased his collection of imitated trade-marks in one afternoon) and places in Manchuria, and not in Shanghae and the coast ports, where these infringements mostly exist, and they would suggest that the Commercial Attaché or a member of the Consular Service be detached to make a tour in the districts above mentioned. At the same time, I beg to assure you that my Committee will use their best endeavours to obtain specimens of infringed marks.\n\nI beg to inclose copies of two Memoranda on infringements of trade-marks drawn up by the London Secretary of the Association. I have, &c.\n\n(Signed) E. B. SKOTTOWE, Chairman.\n\nInclosure 6 in No. 1.\n\nMemorandum (No. 2) respecting Japanese Infringements of Trade-marks.\n\nTHE Shanghae Committee write saying: \"We hear of infringements by the Japanese all round, but the getting of actual proofs is a difficult matter. I am, however, in correspondence with some firms in Japan, Dr. Morrison, and is Majesty's Consul at Changsha. I am forwarding, under registered cover, the actual proof of two cases which have come under my notice, and will, if any more come into my possession, press forward the same without delay.”\n\nThe samples forwarded consist of two packets of soap and two of cigarettes. Indeed, the more the question is studied the more apparent it becomes that these Japanese infringements are to be looked for alone among classes of goods, such as soap, candies, matches, biscuits, cigarettes and whisky, the proprietors of which are not organized for mutual protection, and that the comparative freedom from the effects of piracy of the China piece-goods trade is measurably due to the influence and disciplinary powers possessed by the local piece-goods guilds.\n\nAn examination of the samples forwarded confirms the view expressed by a correspondent in the \"Japan Herald\" of the 21st June (p. 715) that the productions of foreign firms are imitated \"with poor success as to quality, but excellent resemblances as to labels, &c.\" The European cake of \"Savon à la Rose\" arrived intact, but the Japanese cake similar in colour and embossed with the same Chinese characters was crumbled considerably. The adornment of the boxes containing the cakes is identical, save only in the respect of the name of the manufacturer. These are quite different, Mouson et Cie., Frankfort-sur-Main, on the one, and Shuko and Co. on the other, but the difference loses its force when it is seen that the name of the manufacturer is the least distinctive portion of either label. It would take too much space to describe the labels in detail, but they can be seen at any time at the offices of the Association. Although the device of roses, the border and the name and description of the soaps are identical on the outside of both packets, Messrs. Mouson et Cie. have unfortunately placed their \"marque de fabrique only on a loose slip of paper on the inside. Taking advantage of this, Messrs. 'T. H. Shuken and Co.

Modern army (the \"Lu Chün\"), composed of--\n\n| Unit | Number in the Ranks |\n| --- | --- |\n| Two regiments of infantry armed with 1888 model Mausers | (About) 8,000 |\n| One battalion of mountain artillery with twelve Creuzot 75 mm. mountain guns | 378 |\n| One squadron of cavalry with 1888 model Mauser carbines | 224 |\n| One company of engineers | 126 |\n| One company of transport corps | 126 |\n| Total | 3,854 |\n\nThe men all come from the Province of Anhui. The first battalion of the 2nd Infantry Regiment (about 504 strong) were absent on special employment in the manoeuvre area, whilst the other two battalions were mostly scattered about in camps to the north of the city, only 200 being actually inside the walls. The three battalions of the 1st Regiment were quartered in new barracks about a mile to the east of the city, whilst the cavalry had a camp outside the west gate, and the artillery occupied an old fort on the east side of the city on the river bank.\n\n### (b.) Partly-trained troops, viz.:-\n\n| Unit | Total Strength |\n| --- | --- |\n| Two battalions of infantry (Hsün-fang Tui) | 602 |\n| Eighty infantry and 40 cavalry of Governor's bodyguard | 120 |\n| Total | 722 |\n\nThere are also about 800 police, 100 of whom were absent at manoeuvres, but the officer in charge of the latter assured me they were quite useless.\n\nOn the news of the death of the Emperor and Empress-Dowager it was anticipated there might be trouble; rumours were afloat in the city, and many people fled. Governor Chu, who was attending manoeuvres, hurried back, and fortunately arrived the day before the troubles, and, owing to warnings, took precautions. The prime mover of the mutiny was Captain Hsiung of the artillery. It was arranged that fires should be lighted in the cavalry and artillery camps on the night of Thursday, the 19th November. The custom is that when a fire breaks out outside the city the gates (which in all Chinese cities are closed at night) are opened, so as to enable the people to assist in putting out the fires. The Governor, however, being warned, gave orders that, should a fire take place, the gates should not be opened, and thus frustrated the plans of the mutineers, who had intended to enter and seize the armoury near the west gate.\n\nThe artillery major, having refused to join the mutineers, was killed, and the news taken round to the cavalry camp. The latter then made an attack on the cavalry major, who, however, managed to escape with two sabre cuts on the head, and who was eventually treated in the American hospital. The cavalry then tried to induce the 2nd Infantry Regiment to join them, but they refused, and remained more or less in a state of neutrality till the troubles were over. The cavalry then joined the artillery, who were unable to use the Creuzot guns, owing to an absence of ammunition. They fired several shots at the city from several old guns, and also made attacks on the city gates without any result. If they had had any plan, leadership or pluck, they ought to have had little difficulty in getting ladders and scaling the walls, but no such attempt was made. Governor Chu rode about the city, in general's uniform, directing the fire of the men on the walls, and calming the fears of the inhabitants. Plenty of ammunition was served out to the old troops (Hsün-fang Tui and bodyguard), 722 strong, but probably the ammunition was poor and the men could not shoot, and very few people were hit on either side. On Friday, the 20th November, the mutineers looted two Chinese banks outside the city, and three Chinese gun-boats moved down to opposite the fort. The gun-boats, however, would not take the responsibility of shelling it till they received direct orders from the Governor, who sent Brigadier Yü-ta Hung on board to direct. The shooting of the gun-boats was poor, but after some time they were able to dislodge the mutineers, who moved round to the north-west of the city, and indulged in some more futile attacks on the gates, but were driven off by the old troops.\n\nThe 1st Infantry Regiment remained in barracks and refused to take any steps against the rebels.\n\nDesultory firing continued, the mutineers seizing a small repairing arms factory outside the west gate, but neglecting to make any serious attempt on the magazine about a mile to the north, which was only guarded by 100 infantry. In it were stored 7,000 boxes of S.A.A., besides shells for the Creuzot guns, all of which were brought into the city after the troubles on the 21st November, the coolies being paid 1 dollar for each box brought in. As the whole of the Lu-Chün were looked on with suspicion, the 200 infantry in the city were only served out with a few rounds. The whole affair, owing to the prompt action of the Governor, was very small, about 720 men of the old troops defending the city against about 800 mutineers (400 infantry, 100 cavalry, 300 artillery) of the Lu-Chün.\n\nOn Saturday, the 21st November, the Governor sent orders to the 1st Regiment of Infantry to disarm, promising them that if they did so they would not be punished. This they complied with; some disbanded and returned to their homes, whilst 600 or 700 remained unarmed in the barracks. During Friday night and Saturday morning the mutineers fired off a lot of rounds and made two or three futile attacks on the north gate, but were finally shelled out of the cavalry camp by the gun-boats. The Governor himself later on, on Saturday morning, led out a party of the old troops against the mutineers, who were beginning to straggle off northwards, and he succeeded in cutting off one party and capturing two leaders, after which the remainder scattered away to the north.\n\nA third battalion of Hsün-fang Tui (301 strong), brought from Ta-T'ung, lower down the river, arrived at An-ching on Saturday afternoon, after the troubles were over. The mutineers with little ammunition left were reported to be retiring north, exchanging their uniforms for ordinary clothes, and demanding food and money, but doing no personal violence. They are reported to have captured some mules, bringing down 8,000 taels (1,200£) of taxes.\n\nThey are pursued by half-squadron with one battalion of infantry, belonging to the 7th Division, who were returning from manoeuvres, under the energetic Major-General Tien Chung-yü, Chief of the Staff in Manchuria. Fortunately, Governor Chu brought him to reorganize the Lu-chün of An-hui, and though absent at manoeuvres at the time, he ought to have little difficulty in dispersing the rebels, whilst later he will be the best man to restore discipline at An-ch'ing.\n\nAs it turned out, the whole mutiny was a very small matter, with no definite plans and no competent leaders, but it might have been a very serious affair, had it not been for the prompt action of the Governor, who compelled the higher officials to come out of their yamens and do their work, and kept up the confidence of the people, keeping the shops open and calming the fears of the inhabitants. If the mutineers had got into the city and captured the armoury, it is more than probable that the Lu-chün infantry would have joined them, the city would have been given up to looting, and the lives of the English and American missionaries endangered. The French priest was absent, but both he and the other missionaries are unanimous in giving all the credit for the quelling of the outbreak to the courage and energy of the Governor. The 9th Division, of Nanking, who were marching back from manoeuvres, are known to be liable to break out at any time, and if they had found the city in the possession of the mutineers, they would probably have joined them.\n\nChina at the present moment is in a state of unrest, owing to the change of Rulers, and a big conflagration in the Yang-tsze would probably have excited lawless spirits in other parts of the Empire.\n\nThree days after the troubles the American Military Attaché and myself walked all over the city in uniform, and the people, as is usual in the Province of An-hui, were everywhere most friendly. As a precaution the city gates were only opened for a short time.\n\n* General Chang-piao afterwards told me they are being pursued by seven battalions of infantry (chiefly 8th Division) and one cavalry squadron from south and south-west, one battalion of railway guards from north-west, and some of the Pin-k'ou troops from the south-east. All these troops are converging on Liu-an Chou, to which city the rebels are reported to be bound.\n\n† We also called on the Governor and congratulated him on his successful action.\n\nPage 2\nPage 3\n[2049 aa- -1] \nB 2 \n38",

        "content_text": "# Customs, Language, and Religion of the Ordos Mongols\n\n18 people I have frequently been laughed at and congratulated on my happy experience; whatever the nature of the people in other parts of Mongolia I can at least speak from intimate knowledge of the Ordos, that the inhabitants treated me and mine with entire honesty. For their hospitality, always readily given, they never expected payment and in many cases refused money when offered. The traveller who should take a few lumps of silver for use in the districts adjacent to China and some strings of cash for use in the interior, can insist on the poor accepting money while the present of a box of matches or a couple of Price's wax candles or a little Peking tea, gives invariably the greatest pleasure to the richer hosts. Future travellers would do well to take a few extra packets of these three commodities as presents.\n\n## Customs\n\nMost, if not all, of the customs in vogue among the Ordos Mongols are probably common to the whole of Mongolia. They are none the less quaint, however, and have a peculiar charm. Perhaps, the one which strikes the traveller as the most curious is the interchange of snuff-bottles by way of greeting. Every Mongol carries one of these little bottles in a pouch at his waist. The quality and size vary of course according to the bearer's means, those of the Princes being very elaborate and of an expensive material. The ordinary bottles, however, are of glass or porcelain. The art of giving and receiving the snuff-bottle in the correct manner is not so easy to acquire as one might imagine. Like the art of shaking hands where neither party looks at their own hands before giving it nor at the hand they are grasping, so the art of snuff-bottling. You do not look at the bottle you are giving nor do you look at the one you receive. To do the latter would suggest that you are appraising its value. The bottle may be received in one hand and should be raised very slightly and then returned. Only on entering a house that the interchange takes place. If the traveller stops to speak to a Mongol on the road—and all Mongols travelling stop to speak to fellow-travellers, to ask them where they come from, whither they travel—bow their beasts fare—snuff-bottles are exchanged in sign of friendship. It is a delightful custom doomed probably to extinction at no very distant date.\n\nThe proper term of greeting when coming to a house or meeting strangers on the road is \"amorr' sae\" (saehen) which means literally \"peace good,\" and is probably very necessary in countries where the person you meet may be anxious to have your blood. If the same reply is made there is nothing to be feared. There is a custom to secure the welfare of houses and which I noticed one or twice; this corresponds to our burying current coins, newspapers, &c., under a foundation stone. On the rafter which supports the roof of the living rooms are suspended a few cash, two chopsticks and a little bag containing wheat and millet. All these are attached to a red scroll pasted to the rafters. These are affixed when the building is ready for occupation, and signify \"May it last 10,000 years.\"\n\nAnother method of securing good luck—but this I only found in Chinese families scattered through the Ordos—is to paste over the doorway of every building or outhouse slips of paper of varied hues with characters inscribed on them. These protect all who enter from sickness or mishap, or from the influence of devils. Inside the buildings flutter perhaps nine or ten other strips of paper from the rafter, bearing devices with the same object. These are frequently taken down, folded up, and worn as an amulet round the neck. I will compare with this the charms worn by the Catholic Christians in the neighbourhood of Santanho, also round the neck, and containing a little picture. These are obtained from the village priest for a few cash, and renewed when worn out.\n\nThe women wear a delightfully picturesque head-dress, and this is probably the only valuable thing they possess. It is a leather band set with silver, and which encircles the head; from it hang down over the forehead, as far as the eyes, over the nape of the neck and over the ears, long strings of silver, coral, jade, and precious stones. Heavy strings of earrings, chiefly hoops of silver, pull down the lobe of the ear till it has lost all its first shape. The hair is fastened in two plaits, one falling over each shoulder into a leather pouch, which reaches to either breast. These pouches are heavily ornamented with silver. If the lady is in mourning the plaits wear a white band across them. The unmarried Mongol women do not wear this quaint head-dress; this is presented by the young man to his fiancée, and thus may be said to correspond to our engagement ring. The young man often has to sell many beasts in order to purchase it; the price and value vary from 60 taels (£9) to 100 taels (£15), and the wealthy sometimes pay as much as 500 taels (£75), but this depends on the value of the stones, pearls, jade, &c., with which the ornaments are set. Directly a girl is engaged to be married she binds her hair under her chin, instead of allowing it to fall in plaits over the shoulders.\n\n## Language\n\nChinese is spoken in those portions of the country which either fringe on China or into which Chinese settlers have penetrated; everywhere else only Mongol is spoken. It is therefore essential for the traveller either to be able to speak Mongol himself, or to have a Mongol-speaking man among his retinue. Even in those districts which lie nearest to China, only a few Mongols can talk Chinese, those few being the men who have had frequent occasion to cross the frontier and do business among the Chinese. In none of the Prince's residences or yamêns are there as yet any Chinese-speaking Mongols; there are no Chinese officials in the country who could help the Chinese-speaking traveller, nor do the lamas speak anything but Mongol. There will be of course exceptions in this last case, but in none of the many lamaseries which I visited were these exceptions to be found.\n\n## Religion\n\nThe religion of the country is Lamaism; the Chinese settlers have, however, maintained their own; in the south of the Kingdom of Ottok there are 7,000 Christians (Roman Catholics), Chinese and Mongol, round the districts of Hsiao chiao and Borobalgasson. In the north-east, in the Kingdom of Talat, there are also some Roman Catholic converts, probably a few hundred, round Hsiao noor and Ta noor.\n\nTwo-thirds of the male Mongol population are herded into the huge lamaseries which are scattered over the country. These institutions are nests of ignorance and vice, into which the children who are to become lamas are thrown at a very early age. It has been suggested that one of the reforms which the Chinese Government wishes to introduce into Mongolia is a modification of the lama system, so that the children may be taught something in the lamaseries, instead of spending all their time in saying prayers which are practically unintelligible to them. Personally, I do not believe in such benevolence of thought on the part of the Chinese Government, and I am convinced that, even if they held it, they would find the task of carrying it out entirely beyond their powers. It has hitherto been supposed that the Chinese Government viewed these institutions with approval, as the lamas being vowed to celibacy and also forbidden to fight, the Mongols need no longer be feared as a fighting force, and could be viewed with equanimity as a decreasing instead of an increasing race. If the Chinese Government ever really bothered to hold a view of Lamaism at all, I think it very likely that this was the view held, and it is unlikely that any change has come over their minds in the matter.\n\n## Climate\n\nThe best season of the year to travel in the Ordos is the late spring and early summer (May and June) or not until the autumn. Though little snow falls in the winter this season is exceedingly severe as may be judged from the fact that the swift flowing Yellow River freezes. Through April and also part of May daily sandstorms may be expected. I know of nothing more disagreeable than travelling in these storms. Nearly always coming from the north-westerly direction they would start about 9 A.M. and increase in ferocity till 3 P.M. when they would gradually subside until by sunset all would be still and clear. While the storm lasts travelling is miserable for man and beast. Sand and stone penetrate everywhere and are swept with force into eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. The traveller is tempted to halt directly the storm begins, but he may be absolutely certain that it will be the same on the morrow. As a change from dust we had a violent snowstorm on the last day of April but this was the last kick of winter. Rain is unusual. We had one rainstorm lasting an hour and a-half following thunder and great heat on the 15th May but with the exception of this we only had half a dozen drops on a few other occasions, most of them in June. The country becomes terribly hot in summer and travelling by day then is exceedingly difficult. Of late years it appears that the summer rains have failed and the country is in consequence becoming gradually drier. The once fertile land to which Chinese penetrated no longer yields the crops it formerly did and the colonists talk gloomily of being obliged to leave.\n\n19 \n## Page 124",

        "content_text": "# A&S \n\n## 2 \n\nAn official dinner was given here at which congratulatory speeches were made, and it was possible to gather a few technical details concerning the line from the officials of the company. It should be understood that the ceremony was purely official, in celebration of the completion of the line, as trains had been running as far as Tau Shan for some time. \n\nLeaving Sunning again at 9:20 P.M., Kung Yik was reached at 10:15 P.M. \n\nThe railway requirements of the Chinese are so different from those of other peoples, and obviously badly constructed lines so often yield satisfactory results that it is dangerous to criticise too adversely any policy that a new railway may adopt. In a country of such vast distances, where every line has in prospect the linking-up with some main line, there would indeed seem much to be said in favour of the policy of constructing a cheap or even \"jerry-built\" line, and relying on subsequent earnings for the upkeep of a proportionally expensive maintenance and the gradual improvement of the permanent way. If such a policy is justifiable, the Sunning Railway Company have certainly carried it out to its extreme. Owing to the lack of an official position on the same footing as the Canton-Hankow Railway, they appear to have had great difficulty in acquiring their land, both with the people and with the local officials. They have, in consequence, not hesitated to build their line over any land they could get, with the result that the line for the most part consists of a series of the most alarming curves of a sharpness that would at once be ruled out of court by most other railways except in circumstances of extreme difficulty. For instance, while the standard maximum curve on the Canton-Hankow Railway is 4° (i.e., radius, 1,432 feet), the Sunning Railway in several places has curves of 15° (radius, 382 feet). The curves in fact are so sharp and the super-elevation of the outer rail is so great as to cause a real feeling of discomfort inside the train. \n\nThe same fault is evident in a vertical direction, and while I was unable to ascertain exactly their maximum rate of grade, it was obvious that several of the gradients were heavier than any of those of the Canton-Hankow Railway, which has to negotiate far more difficult country. \n\nThe embankments and cuttings appear to be narrower by 2 or 3 feet than those of the Canton-Hankow Railway, and, as far as could be judged from the train window, contain very rough work. The slopes of the cuttings are too steep, and look dangerous. \n\nThere are ninety bridges in all, some sixteen of which are over 100 feet in length. They are without exception wooden bridges on hardwood trestles. \n\nMost of the sleepers are from Kuangsi province, and appear to be soft and of poor quality. I was informed that there were fifteen to a rail length of 30 feet, but in Kung Yik station I counted sixteen. This compares favourably with the Canton-Hankow Railway, whose standard is thirteen. \n\nThe rails are from Germany, and are light, being only 60 lb. in weight. A rail length is 30 feet. \n\nThe company possesses nine locomotives: three of 65 tons and two of 60 tons from America; two of 40 tons, one being from America and one from Germany; also two small engines of 25 tons from Germany. \n\nThe rolling-stock of the company is as follows:\n| Type | Number |\n| --- | --- |\n| Box freight cars | 10 |\n| Flat cars | 56 |\n| Third-class cars | 4 |\n| First-class cars | 8 |\n\nIt is perhaps worthy of note that the first-class cars are greatly superior in comfort to those in use on the Canton-Hankow and Samshui Railways. \n\nThe stations from Kung Yik to Tau Shan are as follows:\n| Station | Miles from Kung Yik | Miles from ... |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kung Yik |  |  |\n| Sung Tsai Long | 1.98 |  |\n| Ng Sap |  | 19.75 |\n| Man Fuk Sz | 2.84 |  |\n| Tai Kong | 6.81 |  |\n| Ch'en Pien | 8.10 |  |\n| Tai Tong | 8.06 |  |\n| Sui Pu |  |  |\n| Tung Hang | 9.95 |  |\n| Pan Kong | 12.77 |  |\n| Sunning |  |  |\n| Tai Hang | 14.21 |  |\n| Hung Ling | 16.08 |  |\n| Chung Lan |  |  |\n| Lok Chun | 21.08 |  |\n| Tan Shan |  |  |\n|  | 22.66 |  |\n|  | 23.76 |  |\n|  | 26.09 |  |\n|  | 29.60 |  |\n|  | 31.22 |  |\n|  | 34.06 |  |\n|  | 35.98 | 18.48 |\n\nTau Shan is at present the last station on the line, but rails are laid for a considerable distance on the way to Sam Kap Hoi, at mile 39.77, which is, I understand, to be the eventual terminus of the line. \n\nSanction of the Board of Communications has been obtained for the extension of the line to Kongmoon, where the terminus will be at Pak Kai, near the Imperial maritime custom-house. The work is, I was told, to be taken in hand in about one month's time, and it is hoped to finish construction in about one year's time. A 2,000-foot bridge will connect Kung Yik with Tan Shui Ho, on the other bank of the river, for the purposes of this extension. \n\nThe takings of the company amounted, I was told, to about $800 daily, and it was calculated that when they amounted to $900 the company would be in a position to pay some interest on the capital of the shareholders. The figures given, however, do not agree with those published from time to time in the native press, in which the earnings are given at about $21,000 per month. \n\nMr. Chen I Hsi, from whom I gathered much of the foregoing information, is the president and chief engineer of the railway, and appears to have promoted and constructed the line practically by himself. His sole remuneration is said to be $80 per month, and this economy is considered to give the company great prestige vis-à-vis the expensive methods of the Canton-Hankow Railway. A further instance is the cost of the two lines, which are about $15,000 per mile and nearly $100,000 per mile respectively. All of the many persons, however, who were careful to make a point of this in conversation with me, completely ignored the fact that the Canton-Hankow Railway has very much more difficult country to negotiate, and, moreover, is being laid down in a more or less permanent form, to which the Sunning Railway cannot lay the faintest pretensions. \n\nA map of the line, compiled and translated from a map issued by the railway, is enclosed. \n\n**R.

        "content_text": "# Arrangement for the Joint Working of the Kirin-Changchun Railway\n\narrangement for the joint working of the Kirin-Changchun Railway were not sufficient to ensure the loss of Kirin every demand of the Japanese has now been conceded and it is impossible to foresee what the consequences will be. As regards their demand for the opening of five places to trade, some of these places as, for instance, Liu Tao Kou and Kuang Chi Yu, although important positions are still situated within the disputed territory and the demand that they should be opened to trade might perhaps be acceded to, but Pai Ts'ao Kou, which is rich in minerals, is a most important place, and is almost 100 li north of Yen-chi and there are few Coreans there.\n\nTou Tao Kou and Chi Pi Kou are important places on the route to Fongtien and are about 90 li from Yen-chi. All these places have nothing whatever to do with the boundary, and serious disadvantages will follow if they have really been opened to trade. As regards the question of judicial courts in Yen-chi, we have never hitherto, in the course of our difficulties with the Japanese, admitted in any way their right to judicial authority, and it is impossible to understand why we have now agreed to the establishment of Mixed Courts. In agreeing to the appointment of consuls we merely admit consular jurisdiction, but by consenting to the establishment of Mixed Courts we openly recognise Yen-chi to be leased territory, and this is entirely different from the opening of places of trade. Tien Pao-shan, which is famous for its silver mines, is about 50 li north of Yen-chi and has nothing to do with the boundary question. Since I have arrived in Fengtien I have done my best to preserve these mines for China, and to oppose the efforts of the Japanese, and in the case of other natural resources such as mines and forests I have during the past two years succeeded in the face of enormous difficulties in resisting the Japanese claims, pending the settlement of the boundary question. Now, however, the question of the boundary has been decided, the rights which I have striven to protect are at once surrendered. It is enough to cause one to despair.\n\nEven if it be argued that the above concessions have some concern with Yen-chi, the construction of a line to Ying-k'ou, which can be extended west of the Liao River, and our undertaking that no parallel line shall be built west of the Liao mean that we have definitely precluded ourselves from any further development of Manchuria. When we allowed Russia to build the Chinese Eastern Railway, we lost the opportunity of doing anything for Manchuria as a whole, and although, after the reorganisation of the three provinces, we endeavoured to extend railway communications, it was beyond our power to help the regions to the north-east. For this reason the construction of the Taonan-Fakumen and Chinchow-Tsitsihar Railways was planned, with a view to protecting the Mongolian frontiers and uniting the three provinces of Manchuria, but now these rights have been abandoned, and not merely have our rights in Manchuria been thrown away, but it is to be feared that it will even be impossible for us to undertake any railway construction in Inner or Outer Mongolia.\n\nThe consideration of all these points cannot but excite the deepest regret, and I would point out, with regard to these negotiations, that it is not a case of a conquered country suing for peace and unable to offer any resistance to the victor's demands. The first intention of the Japanese was merely to take advantage of the unsettled position of the Corean boundary question, in order to obtain some special advantages upon our frontiers, but, in face of the conclusive evidence in our favour, and in spite of all their specious arguments, they could only succeed in making some confusion by claiming that the Pu-erh-ba-t'ung and Hai-lan Rivers were parts of the Tiumen, the piece of land in dispute only measuring some 100 li from north to south, and it would really be as well to surrender this land to them altogether if our rights over all the country north of Yen-chi could thereby be preserved unimpaired.\n\nThese boundary negotiations have now been proceeding for nearly two years, and have cost the State almost 1,000,000 taels, and the only result is that, in return for a nominal recovery of our territory we have opened all the important places north of Yen-chi, have lost all our rights there so that it will be impossible for us to keep anything for ourselves in the southern part of Kirin, and have agreed to borrow money from them for the construction of the Kirin-Huining Railway, whereby the power of the South Manchurian Railway will be extended throughout the two provinces of Fengtien and Kirin. The Japanese have not only supreme authority in Corea, their power is now extended as far as the capital of Kirin. We have also precluded ourselves from constructing any parallel line west of the Liao and have thereby put a stop to the gradual development of communications in Manchuria. In fact, on account of a dispute about the boundaries of one piece of land, we have lost all our rights in Manchuria, and it would have been incomparably better to surrender the land to them at once without any attempt at negotiation.\n\nFurthermore, the Russian military forces in the Far East have been enormously increased in recent years, munitions of war have been constantly sent out by the Siberian Railway, and they are eagerly watching for an opportunity of avenging their defeat. When they see how Japan has been able, merely through a dispute about boundaries, to secure these great concessions their resentment will naturally be extreme. Other countries too, seeing how easy it is to get the better of us, will put forward claims to equal privileges, and when I consider what difficult international questions and what terrible wars are impending I cannot but feel the utmost apprehension. I feel, however, that although the Wai-wu Pu have complete authority in international questions it is still the duty of the provincial authorities to defend their country, and as your Excellency's telegram to Na-tung proved of no avail I addressed a long telegram to the Wai-wu Pu, but the fact that I have received no reply is sufficient evidence that the Board's view is unfavourable. If I delay any longer the agreement will be signed, and then not only will our remonstrances be unavailing, but even the Imperial Power will be unable to help us. After long consideration the only course that appears open to me is to entreat your Excellency to memorialise the Throne by telegraph, setting forth all the aspects of the situation and asking that the Wai-wu Pu be instructed to lose no time in arranging some other solution which will recover some small portion of our rights.\n\nEven if the current rumours are false, my responsibility remains the same, and in the present critical position of affairs I am quite prepared to run the risk of censure, but I am confident that your Excellency, whose patriotism is known to all, will not regard my representations as mere blind ravings. Furthermore, in view of the pressing importance of the matter, this telegram has been prepared in consultation with the Commissioners and Taotais, including Shih Taotai, from Harbin, who is at present here. They were unanimous in holding that the situation admitted of no delay, and unite with me in requesting your Excellency to submit a memorial by telegraph in order to save our country.\n\n## Inclosure 2 in No. 1\n\n### Newspaper Extract\n\n#### THE MANCHURIAN CONVENTION: EXPLANATION OF THE MURDEN \"SECRET\" AGREEMENT\n\n**Official Communiqué**\n\nSince the consummation of the recent negotiations and the publication (by the \"Peking and Tien-tsin Times\") of the two agreements between China and Japan, relating to Chientao and some of the Manchurian questions, it seems as if some quarters have been exercised by some misapprehension and misgivings. There seems to be involved misunderstandings on two points in regard to the import of article 4 of the Manchurian agreement. The first is that the clause reading \"in conformity with the general principles agreed to by the governor-general of the three eastern provinces and the governor of the province of Mukden with the Japanese consul-general in the 40th year of Meiji (1907), &c.\" is looked upon as referring to a secret agreement of some sort which had been entered into between the authorities of the two countries on some prior occasion. The second is that the above article gives to Japan exclusive rights of exploiting the mining properties along the Antung-Mukden Railway and the main line of the South Manchurian Railway, which is incompatible with the principle of the \"open door and equal opportunities\"; while some seem to see in it a violation of the treaty rights of other Powers. If only for the sake of laying correct information before the public a reasonable statement seems to be called for at this moment.\n\nIn the first place the negotiations between the Chinese authorities and the Japanese consul-general at Mukden in 1907 were merely a necessary and natural sequel to the Peking protocol of December 1905.

I think the laymen looks on law as a thing which, if you turn a tap, simply runs out at will. This was one of the points which showed that the lay mind had been more than unpractical in the matter of the proposed Appeal Court. I am quite sure that when the Court is\n\nBiting Bothe Music\n\nChasse not sitting the layman thinks the Judges are at the Club, or\n\nX\n\nplaying golf. Well, that is a point of which the laymánd must\n\nbe disabused if the matter is to be fairly considered: but I am confident that if this point is appreciated, much way will be made: you see of course that this is a matter on which figures can throw no light.\n\n7.\n\ndun\n\nI now come to the Puisne Judge's work. Here again it is necessary to disabuse the lay mind of the idea that if the Puisne Judge happens to be free for an afternoon\n\nhe can be turned on to do Original Jurisdiction work: I am confident from remarks I have heard that this is quite a prevalent idea among the laity. You are sufficiently familiar with judicial work to know that this is not the case. But so far as his own Court is concerned, there is a deadlock there also; and Mr. Hazeland tells me that his first free day for a defended case is 22nd November. Of course allowance has been made for the sitting of the Full Court in appeal in the long case, but even omitting this the date would be at end of November. This is altogether wrong; it is entirely inconsistent with the idea of a Summary Court, and it works great hardship on litigants. I am most strongly of opinion that beyond the assistance at Assizes and in Chambers which the Puisne Judge now gives it would be most unwise to saddle the Puisne Judge with any of the Chief Justice's work permanently.\n\n8.\n\nOn the question of finance, I can only say that I have said before; first that the appointment of a Third Judge would increase the revenue of the Department, and secondly, that if the stamp duties were thoroughly collected,\n\nas they are now beginning to be, a revenue would be obtained\n\nsufficient",

Lenfestey acting during his absence) interpreter Ip Tong of the Junk Office and a messenger who places the seal on the passage tickets. Passing of emigrants does not take place daily but only according to sailing of ships carrying emigrants. At the Harbour Office, only those emigrants classed as free are passed, indentured labourers, women and children being passed at the\n\nRegistrar-General's Department.\n\nOnly free (or unassisted) emigrants are presumed to\n\npass at the Harbour Office, but from the appearance of some of them it seems very highly probable that many assisted emigrants\n\nare passed\n\nAs regards emigrants for Canada the U.S.A. and Australia, These countries, and the steamship lines carrying them to destination, take such particular precautions to see that none evade the Stringent immigration laws of these countries, that the examination at the Harbour Office is unnecessary and need only be such as to be the minimum requirements.",

        "content_text": "nature. The latest accounts indicate that the town is once more quiet, although no information has been received to say that foreigners have returned from the vessels to their houses.\n\nFrom the information supplied by the Chinese officials themselves, to which reference is made below, it is evident that an anti-foreign movement was in preparation throughout Hunan. It has partly miscarried, owing to the premature outbreak of riots in Changsha over a grievance between the people and the officials. But directly trouble had arisen the hostility of the populace is turned, as by command, against foreigners.\n\nIt will be found that the following letter from our Changsha correspondent embodies the most authoritative account that has yet been received of the riots in Changsha :-\n\nA Graphic Account.\n\nChangsha, April 19, 1910. Wednesday, the 13th April, to Friday, the 15th April, were days that will long be remembered in Changsha. The riots will be marked from the fact that a governor's yamên has been sacked and burnt, and a very extensive series of looting and burning of foreign property has been carried out as almost a by-play of the main aim of the riot.\n\nThat aim was to cheapen rice. It is the old, old story that our history books show us as occurring in the lands of the Mediterranean, and that Carlyle has so picturesquely taught us to connect with the French Revolution—a hungry mob is dangerous. Rice has been, of course, dearer and dearer on account of the Yang-tsze floods. For the same reason the caters of rice have been more numerous, for the refugees from Hupeh have been numbered by the thousand. The forbidding of export from Changsha had not the desired effect of dropping prices—if that effect was really desired by those who forbade the export. Promises of opening Government granaries were not fulfilled, and as the prices crept up disappointment and anger grew. On Wednesday night a rise from 82 cash a-pint to 84 cash provoked the gathering of an angry mob. Some four or five officials were sent to speak good words. But one of the speakers resorted to that last refuge of a weak man—bluster and bluff: \"Rice is not so dear here as at Hankow or Canton, or in foreign countries.\" A howl of derision greeted the untimely speech. \"Seize!\" shouted the official, and the order was left-handedly obeyed by the seizing of him on the part of the mob, instead of the seizing of the shouters by his runners.\n\nThe official, who was of no less rank than a taotai, was dragged by the mob right through the city to the governor's yamên with a crowd that grew rapidly. Soon after 8 P.M. all the immense space in front of the yamên was packed with people, and the first two series of doors and wooden divisions had been burst in. Messages were handed to and fro, until at last the military were called into action. There was certainly some stabbing with bayonets—that deaths resulted is both asserted and denied. At any rate, messengers and fragments of the crowd broke off and scattered in all directions. Then followed beating of gongs and shouting of orders. Every house door was set open and every lamp lighted. The city gates were all shut.\n\nThe Work of Destruction.\n\nThe crowds that went south divided into two main streams. The western one reached the Wesleyan Methodist Mission, perhaps a little earlier than the eastern one would reach the Norwegian. The Methodist Mission door had not been opened at the first gong beating, so it was hammered at by the crowd. As soon as it was opened attention was concentrated on the buildings rented by the Imperial Post Office and the Imperial Bank a little further on in the same street. The post office door was too substantial for such weapons as the crowd possessed. Not so the bank doors and windows. Showers of shattered glass were followed by showers of broken tiles, as the mob leaders got on to the roof. One huge stroke, followed by a loud yell, announced that the doors were burst in. Then there was comparative stillness on the night air. It was only comparative, and it only lasted while the maddened crowd could retrace the 50 or 100 yards back to the mission. The mission windows and lamps followed after the manner of the bank, and the largest chapel in the city within two minutes was a wreck. The missionaries, who had all got dressed, were able to leave quietly by the back door, while the crowd streamed across the lawn and looted, and made a bonfire of the loot on the lawn. The missionaries—five ladies and four men—walked quite unmolested through the 200 yards of back streets between the compound and the city gate. Then there was a delay of twenty minutes or so while the keys were being fetched. The refugees were taken into the shop that is used by the guard. While they were there a police-box was smashed up; but no attempt was made to molest them. The gates were opened, and the missionaries went at once on to the C. N. steam-ship \"Siangtan.\" News was taken to the British consul (whose temporary consulate has been outside the gates, with telephonic communication to the city).\n\nWith the missionary in the house, telling the tale of the looting and burning, the Customs taotai telephoned out that the premises were adequately guarded!\n\nThe eastern crowd had first reached the Norwegian Mission. There the same story of looting of houses and escape of missionaries was repeated. The Norwegians were in a much less convenient position for reaching safety. They spent some hours on the city wall, and were well cared for by the official in charge at the North Gate. He himself helped in the cooking of some refreshments.\n\nThe nearest foreign neighbours were the doctor of the Yale Mission and his family and one of the professors at the Government College with his family. Their house was rented, and was overlooked by the crowd. The two families were received first into the house of a Chinese gentleman, and after dawn made their way through the Eastern Gate to a camp under the command of a friendly colonel.\n\nNot much farther on was the China Inland Mission compound. There the crowd made rapid destruction, but once more the missionaries escaped.\n\nAs the day wore on refugees came from one place and another, until every European and American had left the city.\n\nAbout 11 A.M. the mob fired the governor's yamên, and for the rest of the day volumes of smoke rose up as building after building caught fire. Rumour was busy; the governor had been murdered, had committed suicide, was in hiding. Assuredly there was but little space for him to hide in his own extensive compound by nightfall. At 2 o'clock a column of smoke rose over the Norwegian Mission, and a little later another marked the site of the China Inland Mission. There was no mistaking that mob rule was the only rule in Changsha.\n\nThat night the river side was attacked; the custom-house not held by the mob to be Chinese property; the wharves and godowns of Messrs. Butterfield and Swire and Jardine and Matheson were all burned down. So was the Catholic Mission outside the North Gate, the Japanese consulate inside the city, and the Normal College outside the South Gate.\n\nOn the Steamers.\n\nDuring the night the C.N. steam-ships \"Kian\" and \"Siangkiang\" arrived, and early on Friday morning a number of the ladies and others left for Hankow by the I.-C. steam-ship \"Changwo.\" The three British steamers had been chartered by the consul on behalf of the Government. Still, that does not alter the indebtedness of all on board to the great courtesy of the captains, officers, and not least the heavily overworked staff of Chinese servants.\n\nThe boats were first anchored about a mile or two below the city and were able to see and were seen by the looting crowds. Some of the best of the military officials—men who had some claim to be listened to, if only on account of their great help in guiding parties of refugees to safety—hazarded the opinion that the military would more quickly regain control if the boats would drop 10 miles or so further down out of sight. That there was a turn in the tide was shown by the fact that two looters caught in setting fire to a Chinese-owned hotel (which was patronised by foreigners) had been promptly bayonetted and hanged. So the consul gave orders for our boats to get out of sight.\n\nThe Japanese community (with the exception of one or two who could not be reached) had gathered in the compound of the \"Nisshin Kisen Kaisha,\" and with the help of 200 soldiers—who had been drilled by Japanese instructors—held the compound safe and sound. They were now all on board the \"Siangkiang.\"\n\nOn Saturday morning, the \"Siangtan\" and \"Siangkiang,\" both crowded with foreign passengers, left for Hankow, and the \"Kian\" stayed on alone. During the day reassuring reports came from some of the interior cities connected by telegraph with Changsha. But at 10 P.M. the whole missionary community at Siangtan, with the exception of two gentlemen, arrived on board the governor's tender which had\n\n[2751 2-4]\n\nD\n\n218",

Everybody seems against me now I am in trouble.\n\nI hope the C.S.P. will allow all the Indian Constables to follow my body to its last place of rest.

        "content_text": "59\n\nBut I would remind hon. members that in the year 1910 an additional ward was built, and in the year 1911 the present accommodation was adequate and the Superintendent informs me that there was no overcrowding. This year there has been a very large increase in the total population of the gaol, but we hope that it is only temporary. There are several causes which contribute to it. One is the extraordinary activity of the Commissioner of Police in Canton, who is making Canton so hot for undesirables that they come down here. Another is the extremely low steamer fare, which is only ten cents for a passage from Canton to Hongkong. A third is the number of persons who return from banishment and are imprisoned for that offence. There are at the present moment, I think, 110—I am certain there are over 100 confined in gaol for returning from banishment only. We have no other means of dealing with them. If we could put them out of the way altogether it would be a great comfort to us. (Laughter.) Also the persons detained pending inquiries from banishment make a heavy demand upon our accommodation—although we have specially provided for them now. There are 150 straight off. This matter will be watched, gentlemen, and, of course, if it turns out that this increase is not temporary, then we shall have to take out of the pigeon-hole the very elaborate plans for building a convict gaol, plans which were elaborated long ago.\n\nI think we ought to take a leaf out of the book of our American cousins, or a leaf out of the book of the old people at Home. When you go to bed at Home in town or country you generally lock up the plate in a safe or box and take good care that the front door and the back and the windows are firmly secured, and if you do not do it and are living in town you will soon find that the police will wake you up and upbraid you for not taking ordinary precautions. Great store has been made of the so-called burglaries at the Peak. I had particular details of these cases taken out and there was no burglary amongst them, not technically a burglary. In every single instance access was gained either through a door or open window.\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY—Gentlemen,—The first subject that the hon. member who represents the Justices of the Peace referred to was the subject of the Imperial grant in aid towards the difference in the revenue for the letting of the farm for the years 1907 to 1910 and for the letting of the farm for the years 1910 to 1913. Now the difference was $206,500. If the precautions taken in Manila were taken here, or any precautions, the five cases which created such a sensation here would not have occurred. The Chinese, like reasonable people as they are, are already taking precautions in that direction, and if the Europeans would help them and follow their example, and the Chinese would push these precautions further, the Captain Superintendent of Police would have a much better record to show. The way houses are left unprotected now is really hardly fair on the police.\n\nThe hon. member referred to the large amount of property which had been stolen. I believe that last year there were some heavy thefts on the harbour. You are not anxious, I am sure, that we should embark upon a policy which may cast upon us a heavy burden. We are not anxious to shoulder any burden in trying to do so, and I am not altogether sure that the British taxpayer who is really taxed and heavily taxed is not likewise somewhat to blame.\n\nThe hon. member referred to the granting of additional powers to the magistrates to inflict corporal punishment. As hon. members wished this matter looked into, I will look into it, but I am not sure whether anything can be done in that direction. The hon. member referred to a subject which caused me great pain to hear; that is, his remarks on corruption in the police force. This is a very serious matter for the force. It is the first time I have heard of it, and I will make what investigation I can into the matter.\n\nThe hon. member then spoke about the police. I interrupted him. I can only say that the increases that are proposed to be made in the force in the estimates for next year, some of which have already been made this year, are sufficient. They are very considerable. When they are made Hongkong will have more than one policeman for every 450 of its inhabitants. London has, I believe, one policeman for every 400. The two places, perhaps, are not altogether comparable, but still the number of police to the population here is very high indeed.\n\nThe Captain Superintendent of Police, myself, and the Colonial Secretary have gone into this matter, and we consider that the increases have been made are sufficient. The hon. member referred to the question of bringing watchmen under police supervision and control. This subject, I remember, came up some little time ago, and as a result the police on patrol were instructed, and they did follow out the instructions to report to their employers any Indian watchmen whom they found asleep on duty.\n\nRegarding the remarks made by the hon. member concerning the escape from the prison. I would like to say the inquiries which have been held show that if the written instructions had been carried out by the staff the escape would not have occurred. Therefore it does not seem reasonable that on account of this commission of inquiry I addressed the Secretary of State on the subject both by telegraph and despatch and have informed him fully of the wishes and aspirations of the unofficial members of this Council and the mercantile community upon this subject.\n\nThe hon. member next referred to the terminal station of the Kowloon-Canton Railway and he asked why the plans for that building were not thrown open to public competition among local architects and others. Well, gentlemen, my answer is, because I can make more economical arrangements which I think will be quite satisfactory. Mr. Hubback is to undertake the work, no matter what the cost may prove to be, whether it will be $200,000 or $300,000, for an inclusive fee of $5,000, which, I think, is exclusive of travelling expenses and hotel expenses while here.\n\nLately I visited the city of Manila, which is run by our American cousins in a very up-to-date way from every point of view. I was much interested to see that every single house both in the old city of Manila and in the modern residences outside had its windows protected by light iron bars on the ground floor and in some cases on the first floor to prevent access by thieves. I noticed it in a house lately built for my friend the Right Reverend the Bishop Brent, whom any of you may know.\n\nI expressed my astonishment it was one of the first that at the present time the gaol is so overcrowded. The organisation of the prison is largely the work of Mr. R. H. Craig, who is at present on leave, and who is about as capable a prison officer as it's possible to find anywhere. He spent 15 years in the prison service at Home, and I cannot think that there is much wrong with the organisation; in fact, I am sure there is not. The staff I believe to be adequate for the same reason. As regards the salaries, I may say that I have had under my consideration for several weeks past applications from various branches of the Civil Service for an increase in salaries. This is a matter which requires very careful investigation, and I shall first consult unofficial members of this Council in the matter and let them know what my recommendations are likely to be.\n\nNow, as regards the accommodation of the Gaol, it is undeniably most deplorable. I have spent a very great deal of time in investigating it. When I arrive at a conclusion I shall make a thorough investigation, and I have instructed the Superintendent to study local conditions. He is a gentleman who has designed many terminal stations for large railways, and I hope and trust he will be able to satisfy unofficial members and the public of the Colony by giving us something good.",

This being an urgent matter that should be attended to at once, I got on my bicycle and rode from the office to these premises, placing my machine against the convent wall, which is on the opposite side of Queen's Road East to the premises in question. On looking up to the two floors I was about to visit to see if there were any signs of a hair factory being carried on, I saw the woman on the verandah of 51, Queen's Road East.

Knowing this was the floor where the nuisances were existing on my previous visit, I went up, thinking she wished to show me that my requests had been attended to.\n\nI knocked at the door, and it was opened by her, and she asked me if I wished to see the kitchen.

I remember & Dutch Doctor who\n\nbrought actions against certain Companies in forma pauperis: I\n\ndon't remember your coming about the Dutch Consul making trouble\n\nabout $2 for which you would not give him a receipt. I don't\n\nremember your suggesting that I should issue a circular in the\n\nterms of the November Circular so that you could refuse to oblige\n\nthe public. I asked you to circulate the Circular. I don't\n\nremember your mentioning the difficulty about moneys payable for\n\nsearches for Company: I don't remember my making a suggestion that\n\na note to the shroff should be given to the person making the\n\nsearch to pay the shroff the search fees; and I don't remember your\n\npointing out that the shroff not being in our sight the search might\n\ngo away without payment. The Circular relates to payments of\n\nmoney by the public.\n\nYou had to get permission to put these pauper cases through\n\nbecause they were not covered by the Ordinance: we did them ex\n\ngratia.\n\nYou would have to get express instructions to carry through\n\neach one of these cases: not for fear that you would be acting as\n\na Solicitor but because it was a gratuitously piece of work done\n\nfor the benefit of the poor persons concerned. You could have put\n\nsome through without obtaining permission if I had not noticed it\n\nand if I had noticed such thing I should have told you not to do it\n\nagain. If you had refused to do one when asked it would have been a\n\ndisciplinary matter: I don't know what I should have done. I don't\n\nknow what you received these fees in advance for: I express no\n\nopinion. Strictly the applicants should get their documents stamped\n\nthemselves and buy their stamps themselves.\n\nSon K. Sen deceased's case was in January of this year, I\n\nthink: in this case I think I did (witness says I will get up the\n\nfile) hand you £12; it was a pauper case. I don't remember ever\n\nhanding you any open cheque personally. I don't remember your being\n\nhanded in my presence $1,200 in banknotes in connection with a\n\nPhilippino newspaper \"El Grito del Presente\".\n\nIt",

Alim Khan: the petition was sworn on 20th. December, 1912, and stamps put on 23rd.\n\n**\n\nIn fact here I did exactly what you were doing. I did not regard the Circular of 14th. November,, 1912, as applicable to myself. I took the Circular, I think, from the General Orders: the General Orders refer to myself. The Circular was applicable to me. I gave you the money in Sonksen's case because it was a special case. I saw you before the Circular and told you you must n't take money from anyone. In Sonksen's case you broke the General Orders and the circular on my instructions.\n\nThe giving of the number brings the file to the attention of the Auditor: if they are not numbered the Auditor would not look at them: Cordeiro and How Yin'e case were not numbered.\n\nI never knew the Auditor calls for unnumbered files; the preliminary fees are entered in the fee-book: I did not know whether unnumbered files have been called up or not from the Chief Justice's office. He does a test audit not a general audit.\n\nCordeiro and How Yin's cases would not have been traced by the Auditor: if they had been numbered they might have been traced. I don't know where the Auditor's get their numbers from; whether from the fit fee-book or register of application. You take the numbers consecutively from a book in which petitions for probate or Letters of Administration are entered: the Auditor could take the numbers from this book: the petitions and the probates have different numbers; the probate numbers were not consecutive in the\n\nMAGI",

Who in the world wants to work all the time. We don't and we are compelled at times to put aside the scissors and the paste pot and take a trip to Heyman's home for weary ones on Calle Pinpin. We are now back on the job, a little bit the worse for wear and deucedly short of funds. We wouldn't mind having some of our delinquent subscribers come through as we sure feel that a plate of beans or wieners would improve our health. Our office is at the same old place and we still can write our name to a receipt. Don't crowd.\n\nThe war news from the front has been quiet lately.

There will be a suspension of hostilities until a new one arrives from London.\n\nThe Portuguese army surrendered in a body yesterday to a corporal and seven men of the German army.

Why not knit them a few cans of beef extract for hot broth while they are in the trenches? Why not knit them a supply of stationery and pencils for writing home?

We think that too much of the bureau's appropriation has been spent in paper and ink. If Mr. Cretcher would follow Cyclone Jim's plan and get out and try and make something of value come out of the ground, he would show more real intelligence and be of more value to the people. Incidentally, he would be less criticised. If Mr. Cretcher does not know anything about coconuts, he might start a bean farm or something of the sort. Cretcher has been roasted to a frazzle and from all reports, he is a very decent fellow. He perhaps needs the job he is at present holding and we have no objection to his staying on the payroll. We think, however, that he should stop fooling and get down to real business.\n\nToday is the day. Manila is in fiesta garb and worry and care have been shelved that revelry and merry-making may reign supreme. The big Carnival of 1915 is on and when the great carnival parade winds through the streets of the gay capital this afternoon, it will mark the opening of this famed celebration for which the Philippines are known all over the wide world. Already confetti is being scattered over our sidewalks and pathways, already the maskers are seen mixing with the laborers and the tradesmen. At eight tonight, the only people in the town who will be working will be the policemen, the car-conductors, and the engineers in the light and ice-making plants. Everybody else will be bound for the gay white city on the Luneta to partake in the merriment and have a good time. The carnival city is more beautiful this year than ever before and the Hubbub is full of wonderful attractions from Coney Island and other pleasure resorts. The big ball which will open the carnival this evening is the Devil's Raising Ball and the crowd that attends generally does it. It's merry hell long about midnight. Some elegant costumes will be worn at the ball this year, say the modistes, and it will be worth the price of admission to those who do not dance to go and look on. There will be lots of good things to eat and drink on the carnival grounds. Come early and stay long. Make this the best Carnival we have ever had.\n\nHe Was A Yid\n\nMacfarlane, the Insular Lumber Company manager, tells a story of a Jew soldier in the German army who had accomplished some gallant deed on the field of battle and had been mentioned for the Iron Cross. The Kaiser was present at the town when the Iron Cross was to be presented and decided to make the presentation himself. He asked if the Jew was a man of family and was told that he had a wife and six children and was quite poor. The Kaiser, thinking that the Jew might better appreciate a gift of money, asked him when he was brought up, whether he would rather have the Iron Cross or a hundred marks. The Jew said, \"Your Highness, what is the value of the Iron Cross?\" The Kaiser replied that it was worth a couple of marks, whereupon the Jew said, \"Well, Your Highness, I will take the Iron Cross and 98 marks.\" Mac does not say what the Jew got.\n\nDiscovered\n\nProfessor Waters has been discovered by the daily press. They are certainly getting wise to this Kansas faker at a pretty late day. Waters should be prosecuted by the Philippine government for estafa.\n\nThe man who flooded the German position on the Yser, says a cablegram, has been decorated with the Order of King Leopold. What's that, a rubber medal?\n\nThe entrance of Portugal into the conflict somehow reminds us of the By assisting old man Noah's elephant up the ark's gangplank.\n\nIt seems about time now for the employment of a couple of real tropical agriculturists in the bureau. Why not give Prautch and Lyons a show? Governor-General Harrison has made it pretty evident to everyone in the islands that he has some backbone and wants to do the right thing. He should compel the agricultural bureau to stop wasting its funds and commence to get results.\n\n## Portugal And The War\n\nThe resignation of the Portuguese cabinet was first announced on December 6th, 1914.\n\n...according to a dispatch received here from Lisbon, as stated in an official cablegram received by the German Consul here; but the same was not acknowledged and accepted by Reuter until January 26th, 1915, when he announced the fact in a cablegram dated London, January 25th.\n\nAnd there are still people who declare that the German news-service - official as well as unofficial--is badly informed and brings only faked news.\n\nThere has been so much talk about Portugal being on the brink of war against Germany and of sending an army to the aid of the allies, but we never heard anything of the accomplished fact.\n\nNow this wonder is cleared up.\n\nIt was on the Spanish mail between Hongkong and Singapore; on board were some Portuguese officers heading home from Macau. They were a miserable-looking lot. Their sadness caused the compassion of their fellow-passengers. One of these, a Spanish merchant, asking them for the reason of their sadness, whether or not they did not like to go to war, received this answer: \"We are longing for the war as we are soldiers, but say, isn't it a pity, thrice we sent a declaration of war to Germany but never even a confirmation of receipt.\"\n\nGermany has more to do than to acknowledge little Portugal's war-declarations!\n\n## Advertisements\n\n### THE CARNIVAL NEEDS That Ten Pesos YOU NEED A LITTLE FUN\n\n**RICHTER'S DRY GOODS STORE**\n114-116 ESCOLTA\n\n| Corsets        | Description                                                                                   |\n|----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| AMERICAN LADY  | The Corset that braces, buoys up woman and beautifies the modern through the active hours...  |\n| MADAME LYRA    | ...soft, light and pliant- yielding to every demand of the wearer.                           |\n\n**E.

Lacks, whose husband is a merchant in San Francisco. She arrived on the Italian liner Regina d'Italia.\n\n\"I was visiting in Ropczyce, a town not far from Lemburg,\" she said. \"On October 10th word was circulated that the Russians were coming, and that all women would better leave before their arrival. Many women went, but many others, myself among them, did not believe the stories of shameful treatment of women by Cossacks and remained in our homes. The Russians entered the town October 15th.\n\n\"They seemed well enough behaved and seemed to justify our confidence that stories about them were all untrue. So far bad timidity disappeared among the people that everybody went to church on Sunday as though there were no Russians in town.\n\n**But soon after the services began Cossacks appeared at the doors of the churches, interrupted the services and ordered all men, including priests, and all children to leave. The doors were guarded and no women were allowed to get out. Then the doors were locked, and there was a more awful orgy than I believed this world could know.\n\n\"Those outside could hear the women screaming, and the howls and laughter of the Cossacks.\n\n\"One old man who had left his daughter, found the door in the church which was unlocked, and tried to fight his way to her. The Cossacks caught him, crucified him on one of the pillars, and as he screamed in agony, went on with their orgy.\n\n\"By the grace of heaven I did not go to the church. I ran away from the town as soon as I knew what was going on, and made my way to Italy.\"\n\n## How to Live Long\n\nNew York, December 14. Moses Wohl of the Bronx today began his 101st year of life, with this recipe for reaching further milestones:\n\nDrink beer and ale every day, sometimes a little wine; smoke at least seven cigars each day; take a good long walk without a cane; read all the newspapers and don't worry.\n\nWohl, who was seen surrounded by four sons and his daughter, fifteen grandchildren and five great-grandchildren, said he regretted he was a little too old to learn to tango.\n\n## O'CONNELL'S, January 30, 1915\n\n### Want Irish Republic\n\nA curious commentary and interesting sidelight is shown in the recent opposition to John Redmond at contested parliamentary elections in Ireland at present.\n\nSir Roger Casement, Professor McNeill and fully ninety per cent of those opposing Redmond are Irish Protestants.\n\nThis party is seeking to have an Irish Republic or at least a measure of Home Rule given to Ireland as enjoyed by Canada, Australia, or South Africa. To gain their ends, Sir Roger Casement went to Berlin a few weeks ago and presumably made things right there. Sir Roger's party are dead against all recruiting in Ireland until their demands are granted. He has a large following in the Volunteers, particularly in Dublin, Cork and the other principal cities. What a complete answer this is to the old cry of the Orangemen of religious intolerance by their own countrymen, for which the British Government were ready to give all Ulster to the Orange party.\n\nOf course, anyone who knows Ireland and Irish History, knows that many of her greatest leaders and best loved sons were of the Protestant Faith, for instance Wolfe Tone, Emmet, Lord Edward Fitzgerald, Mitchell, Smith O'Brien, Parnell. All venerated and idolized in Ireland to-day and all Protestants.\n\nGod prosper Casement.\n\n## Advertisements\n\n### Have You Got the Carnival Spirit?\n\n#### Old Razors Made New\n\n40 cents each\n\nIf your old razor pulls and irritates your skin let us make a New, Soft, Velvety Edge on it.\n\nThe New American Razor Sharpening Machine will put a Sweet, Keen Shaving edge on the Dullest Razor in a very few minutes.\n\nBring or send AT ONCE.\n\n**Better Than New!**\n\nIs what many of our customers say on trying our Re-Sharpened Safety Razor Blades!\n\nWe re-edge and re-sharpen all makes\n\n70 cents dozen\n\nSee these two wonderful new patented machines at work in our Escolta Stores.\n\nWe return all work promptly, Postage Paid.\n\nWalter E.

        "content_text": "## KOWLOON AND ITS HINTERLAND\n\nfactories, I make bold to assert that the hundreds, nay thousands, of women and children engaged in this industry at Kowloon exhibit an air of contentment and physical well-being that might well be the envy of countries where Factory Acts are in operation to safeguard the interests of the working classes. The complaint is a common one, and has not arisen from the people for whom Mr. Bowley advocates, but curiously enough from promoters of industries, that restrictions against the starting of new industries and the exactions from Government are such as to deter the employment of capital and the undertaking of enterprises in the Colony.\n\nOn a recent occasion, the editor of **The Rock** and myself had the opportunity of meeting leading representatives of the Chinese community in Hongkong. We were struck by the remark from one, blessed with much of this world's riches, that the \"law\" of Hongkong was what he so greatly admired. By contrast, it seems strange that a Britisher, whose profession places himself in a special position to set a correct appreciation on the value of our laws, should be the one to cavil at the inadequacy of its provisions to safeguard the interests of the Chinese themselves.\n\nThe creation of the department of the Secretary for Chinese Affairs, which is none other than one for the protection of the Chinese, with an efficient head in the person of the Hon. Mr. S. B. C. Ross, is a sufficient guarantee that the abuses which Mr. F. B. L. Bowley complains of cannot exist to the extent which his paper might lead those not conversant with conditions prevailing in Hongkong to believe. Mr. Bowley's intentions are undoubtedly good, but the method he has adopted to carry them out may be open to objection.\n\n## Kowloon has been favoured by the gods\n\nKowloon has been favoured by the gods at the annual Race Meeting just concluded. Out of the three big prizes in the sweepstakes for the race for the Championship, the second and third prizes went to Kowloon residents. The second prize, which is worth $6,880, was won with ticket No. 1500 by Mrs. G. A. Yvanovich, Jr. The third prize was of a value of $3,440 and went to Mrs. Wheeler, wife of Captain Wheeler, of the Indo-China S. N. Co., and Urquhart, in partnership. The first prize of the very next race (Consolation Stakes) was won by Mr. F. E. Carvalho and his son Mr. Fernão Carvalho, both residents of Kowloon. The prize was worth $3,000. Mrs. Farias won a prize over $3,000 on the first day, and Mr. Farias one of $400 on the second day.\n\nA singular circumstance connected with ticket No. 1509 for the Champions is related by the lucky winner of the prize. Mrs. Yvanovich had a bag of flour bought some time before the races. When the bag was emptied of its contents and while hemstitching the piece of cloth, the design of this special brand of flour attracted her attention. The trade mark is that of the Yueu Fong Flour Mills Co. and depicted a telephone box superscribed with the number 1509 in large figures. The next day she enquired of Mr. U. Rumjaha if that number was available for the Champions. Thus it was that the number which drew the favourite brought its purchaser the handsome gift of early seven thousand dollars.\n\n## \"Catholic Press Day\"\n\n### ST. JOSEPHIAN\n\nHis Lordship the Bishop has decreed that there shall be special prayer at the Holy Hour on Thursday, March 31st, for the prosperity of our Catholic Press. All who are interested—and who is not?—in this important matter should make it a point to carry out His Lordship's wishes by being present in the Cathedral and praying for this intention. On the following Wednesday, the 6th April, the Bishop will call a meeting at the Mission House of the Promoters and friends of **The Rock** and the **Religião e Patria** to discuss means of obtaining better support for these two papers.\n\n## GIRL SLAVERY IN HONGKONG\n\nThe views I made to the papers in the views mentioned above I will repeat in principal features in the belief that it is of sufficient importance to merit reproduction here.\n\n### The Meaning of Slavery\n\nThe word slavery can, in my opinion, be taken in a broad sense, and all depends on how it is used. In a sense, we are all slaves to some person or to some thing. The question as it is now under discussion has already been investigated by the Registrar General (now termed the Secretary for Chinese Affairs) with the assistance of the leading Chinese. The matter has been laid fairly and squarely before the public who now, I think, understand what is really meant by the term \"slavery\" when it is employed in this connection.\n\n### Not Legally Allowed\n\nThere is no slavery in China to-day in the legal and technical sense of the term, nor has the buying and selling of human beings been tolerated by law in recent years, as is clearly proved by the wording of documents used in such transactions. Parents are willing instinctively to part with their children, and nothing but stress will make them bow to this sinful necessity. But this does sometimes occur, as the following instance has come under my personal notice to show.\n\n### A Personal Experience\n\nAs I was leaving my house one day, I saw a poor woman with a daughter about ten years old weeping bitterly at my gate. On enquiry, I found they were nearly starving. Her husband had died three years ago, leaving her with two daughters, one of whom she had fortunately sold to a couple of good disposition. With the proceeds, she had succeeded in building a shack. But now it was tumbling to bits, and she and her girl were unable to earn a sufficient livelihood to support themselves. She begged my people to buy her child; and though refusing the request, we offered her money, she still continued with tears to solicit us to look after the girl.\n\nNow, what, in a case like this, is the law to do? Punish the helpless mother and place the child in a convent or charitable institution? Most of the cases of 'child-slavery' or so-called \"Mui Tsai\" are similar to this.\n\n### Treatment of Girls and Safeguards against Cruelty\n\nIt must be remembered that girls sold into other families as adopted daughters or servant-girls are looked upon as members of the family. They are better fed and better clothed, and do lighter work than with their own parents. Indocile and mischievous girls, no doubt, are punished on occasion, but so are one's own children. But they have their remedies here as on the mainland of China. They can complain to their parents or guardians when these come to visit them, which is always one of the stipulations of their contract.\n\nIn Hongkong, moreover, they have the Chinese Secretariat, the Police, and the Society for the Protection of Women and Children (called the Po Leung Kuk, of which we reproduce a photograph), to all of which the girls are able to carry their complaints, certain of receiving prompt attention. On the mainland of China also, there are charitable institutions where elders of clans and other influential bodies attend to similar complaints; while in Hongkong again, notices are posted up officially in brothels and elsewhere impressing on the girls the necessity of reporting ill-treatment and the fact that they are free agents, so that all Chinese are well aware that cruelty to servants is not tolerated.\n\n### Humanitarian Point of View\n\nSpeaking then from a humanitarian point of view, I am clearly of opinion that unless the wealthy classes and the Government of China agree to co-operate in establishing foundling homes and poorhouses in every district to gather in the poor, support, and finance them, it would only make matters worse to force the common people to end a practice to which stress of circumstances alone has forced them and which it is beyond their power to resist.\n\n### No alteration possible or desirable yet\n\nAs a representative of the Chinese, I fail to see how I could, in view of existing circumstances, lend any useful help in suppressing what is complained of. It is a mode of life adopted from time immemorial.",

        "content_text": "March 25th, 1928.]\n\n\"No. 2 cook, and a makee learn,\" several house and market coolies, not to mention fa-wongs, chair-coolies at least,—stores in cup-board, all the material—and no magic ring of knowledge to apply it. The poor taipan husband, formerly so proud of his beautiful and socially successful wife, climbed down one more step of his unassailable ladder of \"no surrender\"\n\nevery time he arose from his table, on which cut-glass and silver and choice flowers mingled with Lazenby's tinned-foods, charred mutton and soup tablets, what time the men who had domesticated (and not necessarily \"homely\") wives or who, perhaps, being grass widowers or bachelors, took their meals at the Hongkong Club or Hongkong Hotel, said: \"Starvation before Surrender.\"\n\nN.B. The husband of the social star was more influential than the men who were well-fed.\n\nTalking of hotels and clubs, they do say that cold meat will get the cold shoulder for many a long day to come, and that the cold tide took a longer time to subside at the club than anywhere else in Hongkong. Many of the members wonder if the innovation of pretty girl-helpers could not be kept up; they say there would not be any cold shoulders in such a contingency.\n\nStories from hotels and boarding-houses come in shoals. Some of the boarders in a big establishment were very indignant when the proffered aid of soldier-cooks was refused on the ground that the boarders were managing quite nicely. Of course, it is quite possible that the management may have realised that the soldier-cooks, being defenders of the realm, might be needed elsewhere, while the women had an excellent opportunity of showing that they were not only able but eager to step into a breach and for once get the opportunity of showing their men-folk that they could be something better than a parasitical growth, battening on other people's labour and returning nothing but a pretty appearance and an insatiable appetite for amusement.\n\nA juster cause for complaint was that of the boarders in those establishments where the management simply declined to be bothered, saying, in effect: \"Each man for himself and the women for us all.\" It is rumoured that in some cases the boarding-house keeper did not scruple to take full advantage of the organised efforts of the boarders to cater for all and sundry.\n\nOn the whole, however, things went merrily, and if the strike had lasted another week I think numbers of women in Hongkong, barring those with young families, would have refused to take their servants back. I heard of one emergency mess where the returned cook's first meal was greeted with very wry faces, and if you want to know what mess I mean you will not have to search far.\n\nIt was in a very well-organised centre and three very capable women were doing the cooking for thirteen people; not one of the thirteen ever wants to eat Chinese cooking again, but noblesse oblige and if you are gentlefolk, why you are and there is an end of it; you have jolly well got to keep servants, your position demands it, and you have got to leave to the working classes their little atom of compensation in life, that of knowing that they are getting value for their money and not eating bad food at top prices.\n\nGreat fun it seems to have been to go shopping at the Peak Hotel, where, unless you signed a requisition order for milk or meat or bread, you could not be served, not even if your husband's banking account ran into lakhs.\n\nRather amusing, too, was Lane, Crawford's barricade. They had my sympathy, those much-abused assistants tearing their hair and rushing frantically from sugar to flour, consulting papers, and piling up the parcels, till at last they created a barricade of screens and one man sat at a table and took all the orders and tried to look as if he loved the frantic women. I had to laugh when, on a bed of sickness some days afterwards, I read that stores laid in during the strike might not be returned, for I know that many recklessly extravagant orders were given with the mental proviso that, after all, we are jolly good customers and they will take back what we do not use!\n\nI nearly forgot to say that another factor in the strike settlement was said to be flues. I can quite imagine why! While I was ill I used to lie in my bed and wonder if an army of plague rats was scuttling down my chimney, but it was just soot, and it came down in torrents and settled on the floors and everywhere, so that if my kind volunteer nurses and house-maids had wanted to skimp work they simply could not. Some of the Peak taipans had terrible times when they cleaned the kitchen grates and made the daily fire—all the wood was damp, coal sodden, grates rusted overnight, impenetrable fog on all sides. Ough! One who looks as if nothing in the way of good solid work could frighten him found a very obstinate kitchen-range one day, so he searched for cause and effect (great minds always do). He remembered on some occasions seeing his cook blow up the flue to clear the soot away, so he proceeded to do likewise. He blew, so did the wind, down came a cloud of soot. Stunned and staggering, he fell back bang on to the back of his head, rushed from the kitchen, clothed himself in garbs of cleanliness and decency, and caught the first tram and motor-car to Government House and found His Ex. in an early morning state of bliss (my informants do not state whether His Ex. had also been cleaning grates), and demanded: \"For the love of a blazing fire stop the strike.\"\n\nIn conclusion, let me say that we have all had a very hard time, but most of our women have lost the Hongkong expression; there is a look of lively interest and healthy fatigue on many a face that was disfigured by boredom and a smile of superiority. Women have learned that even the best of servants think first of themselves and their employers second—even when the servants are amahs and have the care of their most precious possessions—and a good many golfing-bridging mothers have made resolutions to sacrifice a certain portion of each day to the duties of controlling their homes and their children.

Hughes, for whom 284 votes were cast, has already stood for election, but on this occasion was again unsuccessful.\n\nIt will be noticed that the highest number of votes are recorded against the name of Mr. Sakuragi, the Japanese candidate.\n\nIt is estimated that about two-thirds of those entitled to vote about 1,600 under the Land Regulations took active part in the election. The total number of voting papers placed in the ballot box was 752 and, in addition, eight were irregular. With the exception of Messrs. Lester and Wilson, the newly elected councillors served during the last Municipal year.\n\nThe next Chairman of the S.M.C. will be elected by the new councillors at their first meeting, to be held shortly after the annual meeting of ratepayers.\n\nSTRIKES IN CANTON 1921.\n\nThe Canton Times says:-\n\nThe year 1921 was a noted year of strikes in Canton. According to investigation, there were more than eight hundred \"Hongs\" organising different independent associations in the city last year. The organising of such associations simply leads the way to improve the workmen's livelihood, and strikes for increasing of wages were occasionally initiated. The various strikes last year ended successfully. The strikers made a solid stand in the fight for their rights. Their achievements were only personal movements. No outsiders interfered or gave assistance to them. The following is a summary of the result of the various strikes that took place in the city of Canton 1921:\n\n  \n    Occupations\n    Date of Strike\n    Date of Settlement\n    Number of Workers\n    Wages\n  \n  \n    Mat-shed builders\n    May 22, 1921\n    June 13, 1921\n    2,500\n    15%\n  \n  \n    Fire-crackers makers\n    May 24, 1921\n    Sept. 6, 1921\n    850\n    25%\n  \n  \n    Painters\n    May 22, 1921\n    June 8, 1921\n    30\n    520\n  \n  \n    Mechanics\n    May 26, 1921\n    Dec. 17, 1921\n    25\n    \"\"\n  \n  \n    Tea pickers\n    July 12, 1921\n    Nov. 28, 1921\n    3,400\n    25%\n  \n  \n    Oil producers\n    Aug. 7, 1921\n    Aug. 25, 1921\n    97\n    2,500\n  \n  \n    Tea-house Waiters\n    Aug. 12, 1921\n    Aug. 25, 1921\n    35\n    3,450\n  \n  \n    Masons\n    Aug. 16, 1921\n    Sept. 5, 1921\n    50\n    8,640\n  \n  \n    Ox Butchers\n    Aug. 19, 1921\n    Dec. 8, 1921\n    40\n    9,400\n  \n  \n    Potters\n    Oct. 1, 1921\n    Oct. 8, 1921\n    12\n    35\n  \n  \n    Tailors\n    Oct. 6, 1921\n    Not settled\n    1,200\n    failed\n  \n  \n    Barbers\n    Sept. 20, 1921\n    Nov. 8, 1921\n    340\n    40%\n  \n  \n    Laundrymen\n    Oct. 28, 1921\n    Nov. 11\n    2,300\n    40%\n  \n  \n    \n    Nov. 11, 1921\n    Not settled\n    3,400\n    40%\n  \n  \n    \n    Dec. 14, 1921\n    Dec. 25, 1921\n    3,200\n    30%\n  \n  \n    \n    Dec. 14, 1921\n    Jan. 20, 1922\n    820\n    20%\n  \n  \n    Wooden Box makers\n    Aug. 10, 1921\n    Not settled\n    1,400\n    Not settled\n  \n  \n    \n    Dec. 16, 1921\n    Feb. 10, 1922\n    150\n    340\n  \n  \n    Makers of Chinese Shoes\n    Jan. 2, 1922\n    Not settled\n    1,320\n    40%\n  \n  \n    Makers of Foreign Shoes\n    Jan. 7, 1921\n    Jan. 29, 1922\n    1,200\n    25%\n  \n  \n    Foreign Dress makers\n    Jan. 30, 1922\n    Feb. 11, 1921\n    25\n    \"\"\n  \n  \n    Paper markers\n    \n    \n    \n    \n  \n  \n    Packages Workers\n    \n    \n    \n    \n  \n  \n    Weavers\n    \n    \n    \n    \n  \n  \n    Wine Distillers",

        "content_text": "CRUELTY TO MUI TSAI.\n\nTHREE MONTHS' IMPRISONMENT FOR MISTRESS.\n\nBefore Mr. Lindsell, at the Magistracy, on Sept. 1st, a Chinese woman, living at No. 20, Hillier Street, was charged with assaulting a 10-year-old mui tsai.\n\nMr. F. X. d'Almada appeared for the accused.\n\nDr. W. B. A. Moore said that on August 8th he examined the child. She was suffering from a superficial burn on the left ear. There were some dried-up sores on the face—two on the right cheek and one on each of the upper eyelids. There was a recent burn on the right forearm and several scab sores, which might have been the result of burns, and there was also a superficial burn on the left forearm just below the elbow, and several small sores on the wrist. The nail of the fourth finger of the left hand was black. There were three small superficial burns on the right instep, and one on the outer side of the left instep. There was a small mark on the right hip. The child seemed well-nourished and intelligent and the marks were all very superficial. The marks of burns were such as might have been caused by lighted matches.\n\nThe mui tsai, in the witness-box, said that she had been with the accused for about 5 years. Her parents were still alive, and she knew them. The accused was not a good mistress to her. She often beat her with firewood and tied her to the bed-post, \"because,\" she said, \"I was naughty.\"\n\nQuestioned by the Magistrate, the mui tsai said that the accused tied her hands behind her back. Her legs were not tied.\n\nThe Magistrate: When she tied you could you walk—No.—Could you move your body—Yes.\n\nHow did you get those burns?—The defendant burned me with a tong.\n\nWas the tong red hot?—No, she picked up a piece of burning coal from the stove with it and touched my face, hands, and legs with the coal.\n\nOn how many occasions did she burn you?—Only once.\n\nWhy? Because she said I was naughty. How long was it after the burning that you were taken to the police?—I went the following day.\n\nWhat did she say you did to be called naughty? She said I did not do my work. How did you get the old scars on your wrists?—Through a beating some time ago. And the mark on your buttock?—Also, as the result of the beating.\n\nShown two pieces of split bamboo, the child said they were used by the accused to beat her. A cord was used for tying her.\n\nWhen she was burning you, could you not run away?—No, it was done in the kitchen with the door closed.\n\nCross-examined by Mr. d'Almada, witness said that she knew the accused's brother-in-law, who had been to court against the accused over a dispute about jewellery. It was true that the brother-in-law laid the information about the assault on witness.\n\nThe brother-in-law of the accused said that he lived opposite the accused's house and heard the mui tsai cry, because he had often heard her crying. On the night of the 16th, the cry was more touching than usual. He went to the house at 11 a.m. on the 17th, but saw neither the accused nor the girl. As he was busy, he went away. The following day he went to the house again. He saw the mui tsai, who cried and told him that she had been beaten on the 16th. He saw the burns and reported to the police.\n\nA Chinese constable said that he visited the house on the 18th. The defendant was not there. The child complained of being tied and beaten. She produced the rope and the bamboo splits. An amah supported the child's story.\n\nMr. d'Almada said that the accused would admit punishing the child, but not burning her. The defendant was the only witness he proposed to call for the defence, but before doing so, he would like to point out that the amah, who was the only person alleged to have witnessed the burning, had not been called to support the child's story.\n\nSergt. Stimson interposed that the amah had absconded and could not be found.\n\nThe accused, in the witness-box, said that bad feeling had existed between herself and her brother-in-law for some time. The matter reached a climax when he entered her house on August 17th, and assaulted the boy servant. She remonstrated with him, and they quarrelled. He took away her gold watch and chain, and she reported the matter to the police. On the following day she was arrested on the present charge of having ill-treated the mui tsai by burning her. She knew, as soon as the police visited her house, that the trouble had been caused by her brother-in-law. She did not burn the child. She did beat her on the 16th, because she was disobedient, and stole food from the kitchen. She did not tie her up.\n\nThe Magistrate: But surely, you can suggest how the burns came to be on the child?—I did not do it. Perhaps my brother-in-law and the amah know how the child got burned.\n\nDo you suggest that they deliberately burned the child in order to bring the charge against you?—Through spite, yes.\n\nThe Magistrate: Stand down, that's enough. I find the charge proved, and take a serious view of the case. Three months' hard labour.\n\nMOTOR PROSECUTIONS.\n\nThe driver of motor-car No. 379, owned by Mr. C. Montague Ede, was charged with having left the car unattended in Pedder Street, outside Jardine, Matheson's, from 3.15 to 3.33 p.m., on Monday. The defendant said that the coolie who was in charge of the car while he was having tiffin left it for a few minutes only to get some water to wash the car. A fine of $5 was imposed.\n\nMr. M. A. Hancox, of Holts wharf, was charged with reckless driving on 22nd, Bonham Road at 8.10 p.m., on August.\n\nDefendant said that he had not been warned that he would be charged for speeding, or he would have shown his speedometer to the prosecuting sergeant.\n\nInspector Garrod said that the defendant passed him on Caine Road about half a mile from where the sergeant stopped him, and he was going at fully 20 miles an hour then. He would have summoned the defendant had not the sergeant done so.\n\nDefendant said that it was dark, and it was hard to estimate speed. He might have driven at between 16 and 20 miles, but he did not think he was causing any danger to the public at that particular time. He admitted two previous convictions in connection with the same cycle. He was fined $25.\n\nA driver employed by the Russell Street Garage was charged with reckless driving in West Point at 9 p.m., on August 21st, and with having taken out motor-car No. 344, owned by Mr. E. A. M. Williams, without permission. He was fined $20 on the first charge, and $10 on the other.\n\nPage 179\n\nPEKING, August 17th.\n\nFighting in the Hunan-Hupeh border war was more severe than first reports indicated according to reports received in foreign circles to-day, and this was largely due to the sagacity of General Wang Chan-yuan (the late Tuchun) in providing his enemies with wooden bullets and other useless munitions.\n\nWhen Wang some time ago was named to put through a unification plan and to assume full control on the Upper Yangtze, he received funds for equipping the forces in his area. He presented a glowing account of his military needs, of his wishes to serve the Peking Government, and of his ability to put the programme through.\n\nWith the money the Peking Government gave him he bought the Hunan troops wooden bullets and blank cartridges. In some cases the cartridges were not even blanks in the accepted sense of the term but contained no powder.\n\nThe Hunanese knew nothing of this until they were on the fire line.\n\nThe witness added that through the influence of her brother-in-law, her amah was also prejudiced against her, and helped him to bring this false charge against her, through spite.\n\nAs a result, the total losses in their little skirmish were 5,000 men, of whom about 2,000 were killed and the others severely wounded.\n\nThe Hupeh men in the Hunan army, however, were better equipped. As a result of this, the Hupehese lost several men, and there are 2,000 Hupeh prisoners in Changsha alone.\n\nWhile Wang received no praise from the Hunanese, they are not condemning him openly because to do so means a lack of face.\n\nWIRELESS TELEGRAPH COMMUNICATION WITH CHINA.\n\nSTATEMENT BY THE BRITISH POSTMASTER-GENERAL.\n\nIn the House of Commons, on July 14th, Mr. Hurd asked the Postmaster-General whether the Chinese Government has entered into an agreement with the American General Company and the Radio Corporation for the erection of high-power stations in China which will bring Washington into direct communication with Peking; whether he is aware that by this means the 800 daily newspapers of China will be provided with a cheap and steady flow of world news through American channels; and what comparable British news services will be available in the Far East under the British Government's scheme?\n\nMr. Kellaway (in a written reply): The question of wireless telegraphy in China is at present the subject of diplomatic communications between His Majesty's Government and the Chinese and other Governments concerned. I understand that no such agreement as that referred to by the hon. member is in existence; but I would point out that the receipt in China of news sent out by wireless stations in other countries depends upon the existence in China of suitable receiving stations, and not of high-power stations capable of transmitting to other countries. If such receiving stations exist, they would be able to receive news from stations of the proposed Imperial Chain—e.g., Hongkong, Singapore, and possibly India—in the same way as from stations in other countries.",

I have now been employed on board the S.S. \"Hong Hwa\" as compradore for one year; this ship is running between Amoy, Swatow, Singapore, Penang, Rangoon, and Hongkong. I joined the ship at Singapore. This ship belongs to the Ho Hong Steamship Co. at No.61 Chu Lia Street; the Company is registered at Singapore. This Company has two other ships, one S.S. \"Glenfallock\" and one \"Hong Peng\". It is a Chinese Steamship Company. Lan Ping Cheung, shareholder of this S.S. Company, is my elder sister's husband who recommended me to this Company. The other ship's Compradore is required to provide $5000.00 as security, but I do not, as I am recommended. I am in charge of 52 Chinese employees on this ship; the fireman, sailors, and quartermasters are under the European Officers. 51 of my men are Fukienese and one (carpenter) is Cantonese. Lam Taze Tat, a Chinese clerk, a native of Fukien, who has been employed on board the S.S. \"Hong Hwa\" for about 30 years, is on leave on this trip as he is sick.\n\nThe ship left Singapore at about 20.00 hours on the 17th December, 1924, with about 280 Chinese deck passengers, including 8 women, 8 children, and two Indians; no cabin, 1st or 2nd class passengers. They all booked their passages at Singapore either at the Company's Office or from the Boarding houses. My cabin is in the 1st class saloon aft main deck; there are nine cabins but no passengers. There are two doors which were locked, and the keys were kept by the cabin boy before the ship sailed.\n\nAt about 08.00 hours on the 13th January, 1925, I was sitting by myself in my cabin (No.2 cabin). I heard somebody breaking the door of the saloon. I then came out and saw 3 men holding a revolver each, rushing into the saloon. I then hid myself in the bath room; one of them shouted to me that if I did not come out, I will kill you; I came out at once. He then pushed me into the tween deck with all the other passengers; 5 or 6 other pirates armed with firearms...",

        "content_text": "# shines in its brightness on the grassy green valley, \n\nThe sea is calm and of the same colour as the sky, with the sun's beautiful rays shining on it, sparkling like gold. The fishing boats are approaching, and the fishermen sing their evening song, rowing their boats slowly along.\n\nBirds are flying here and there, going home to roost in their snug little nests, after one day's work of finding food. Farmers are going home with ploughs on their shoulders after their labour. Long fields of green corn seem to meet the sky and shepherds with drowsy flocks streaming in front are returning home to sleep, not missing one sheep of them all.\n\nThe smoke begins to come out from the chimneys of the village houses, and causes a grey cloud in the lower part of the sky. Flowers, grasses, and trees seem to have a good rest after receiving heat and brightness from the sun, which assist their growth. It is a beautiful picture created by the creator of the world, and its natural beauty no artist can ever trace or paint. Anybody can enjoy this lovely picture to their heart's content, whether rich or poor, high or low.\n\n**Ho Sir HING, Class 2.**\n\n## SEEN IN THE STREET\n\n### A LETTER-WRITER\n\nThe other morning after the moon had set, the sun rose above the horizon of the sea, above the trees. Soon it rose higher and higher. The streets became noisy with the sound of passengers and cries of hawkers.\n\nFrom a far distance came an old man walking steadily on towards the corner of the street. He was a bare-headed man with a white beard on his chin. His clothes were white, and he had a big blue umbrella in his hand, a basket in the other, and a stool and a small table upon his shoulder. He came nearer and nearer to the corner. As he reached the place, he arranged his stall and sat on the stool with the table in front of him.\n\nAt length a Chinese maid, dressed in black, with a basket in her hand and a pair of pattens on her feet, came to him. She asked him to write a letter for her. The old man, after putting his spectacles on his nose, lifted up his pen and wrote the letter. The maid sat beside him and waited anxiously. When the letter was finished, the maid dropped a five-cent piece on his table and bade him farewell. The man examined the coin carefully and put it in his pocket.\n\n## A FORTUNE-TELLER\n\nFortune-tellers are commonly seen in busy streets in this Colony. At the corner of one of the streets, there was an old fortune-teller. He was a bare-headed man with white hair. He sat beside the table. On the table, there was a book, a bottle of Chinese ink, a tortoise shell, and a box of sticks. He considered his work to be accurate.\n\nA school boy wanted to test the fortune-teller. He went to see him and asked him to find out when his fortune would come. The teller inquired his age and the date and exact time of his birth. The boy answered that he was eighteen years old and gave him further particulars. The teller instantly opened his book and tried to find out his fortune for him. At last, he said to the boy, \"When you are at the age of twenty, you will have good luck and gain plenty of money.\" The boy stood up with anger and said to the teller, \"I am twenty-one years old now. Last year, my father died, and that summer, I was sick and disappointed. Now you say that I will have good luck when I am twenty years of age. This is evidently incorrect. I know that you gain your living by deceiving others.\" After these words were said, the boy ran away without paying him even a cash.\n\n### A DOLL-MAKER\n\nIn one of the busy streets, there was a man surrounded by a group of children. In front of him, there was a wooden box. He sat there making dolls busily to gain his living. The dolls were beautifully made. They were magnificent and splendid. Some of them were fixed with different colours; others were made in the shape of Indians, Chinese, and all kinds of people. The children liked them very much.\n\nSoon, a sister and brother came rushing towards him, and a child with a baby on her back was also running to the same place. Instantly, he was surrounded by children; these children were staring at him with eagerness, and some of them went home to get money to buy a doll. At last, the sun went down to the west. Now was the time for dinner, so the crowd gradually decreased, and the man gathered his property and went his way home.\n\n**WONG LAI WAN, Class 2.**\n\n## THE FLOWERS\n\nThe Queen of the flowers, one day, invited her intimate friends, the Pansy, the Lily, and the Violet, to tea.",

The Prisoners' Property Fund, or any part thereof, may be invested in any securities authorised by the Trustee Act, 1893, in such name or names as the Police Authority may direct; and the income derived from the investments shall be added to, and become part of, the Fund. And the Police Authority may at any time authorise the sale of such securities, for the purpose either of re-investing the proceeds, or of making payments under the Regulations.\n\n4. The moneys standing to the credit of the Fund, whether income or capital, shall be applicable:\n   - (i) to defray expenses incurred in the conveyance, storage, and safe custody of the property, in advertising it with a view to find the lawful owner in preparing it for sale, and selling it, and otherwise in executing the regulations;\n   - (ii) to pay reasonable compensation, the amount of which shall be fixed by the Police Authority (or the chief officer of police acting under the general or special direction of the Police Authority) to persons by whom property has been delivered to the Police;\n   - (iii) for any other purpose which the Secretary of State may from time to time expressly authorise.\n\nPayments may also be made from the Fund, at the discretion of the Police Authority, for the benefit of discharged prisoners, or persons dependent on prisoners, or discharged prisoners, either directly, or (if the Police Authority think fit) by contributions to the Funds of any Discharged Prisoners' Aid Society, or of any Police Court Mission, or Police Court Poor Box.\n\n5. The Prisoners' Property Fund shall be audited by an Auditor, to be nominated in that behalf from time to time by the Police Authority.\n\nHome Office,  \nWhitehall,  \n14th February, 1898.  \n**M. W.

S. Whyte Smith at the Kowloon Magistracy last week. On Saturday, at the special request of the Magistrate, expert evidence of local conditions was given by a prominent member of the Chinese community and the Medical Officer of Health.\n\nMr. Tong Yat-tsun, J.P., who has been identified with several local institutions for some years, gave it as his opinion that mui tsais were only purchased by the wealthy, but in the event of an owner becoming poor the girl might be required to earn money for her employers but she should not be subjected to excessive toil. There was a difference in treatment, was witness' opinion, between a daughter and a mui tsai, whose essential duties, however, were confined to household work.\n\nThe case concerned the widow of To Kwa Wan, who was charged on two counts under the Female Domestics (Mui Tsai) Ordinance of 1923. She was alleged to have ill-treated the girl by sending her to work in a factory for 10½ hours every night for a period of 2½ months. The defendant was also alleged to have failed to provide the girl with sufficient food.\n\nMr. H. R. Butters, assistant Secretary for Chinese Affairs, appeared for the prosecution.\n\n### Value of Medical Evidence\n\nAddressing Mr. Butters, his Worship said: As you know, I requested that the Medical Officer of Health be called as a witness and I have been giving a great deal of consideration to the matter since. I am not at all sure if his evidence will be really relevant. I am more and more convinced that the matter is governed by the Industrial Employment of Children Ordinance, where certain regulations are laid down.\n\nNow, that Ordinance defines a child as a person under the age of 15 years and I am inclined to hold that this mui tsai is over 15. She says herself that she is 16, according to Chinese reckoning, which you argue is 14 by European reckoning.\n\nDr. Thomas said he would estimate the girl's age at about 15 or 16, European reckoning, and I think I might find under the circumstances that she is over 15.\n\nMr. Butters: 15 or over.  \nHis Worship: That is, she is 15 or over.\n\nContinuing, his Worship said: And as you know Regulation 10 of that Ordinance says \"no child shall be employed in any industrial undertaking between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m.\" Now, assuming that this child is 15 or over, then could it be held that a woman, by sending out her daughter or her mui tsai to work at night in a factory, is ill-treating or over-working that girl, when, according to that Regulation, night work seems to be permitted for children above the age of 15? That's the question.\n\n### Decision on Other Grounds\n\nI might mention that the last time Dr. Fawcett gave evidence I accepted his evidence but decided the case on other grounds altogether and it seems to me that that might happen again. I think it fair to Dr. Fawcett to mention this. I might decide on other grounds.\n\nMr. Butters pointed out to his Worship that the girl was much older than 15 years. He also drew his Worship's attention to the fact that Regulation 10 prohibited a child under 15 working for even one hour on a single night between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m.\n\nHis Worship agreed that it would be a breach of Regulation 10 for a child under 15 to work even for one hour during the time mentioned.\n\nThen the point arose, said his Worship, what should the defendant have done. Should she have been at the factory to see how the girl was being employed? His Worship asked if that was what Mr. Butters argued.\n\nThe girl seemed to have given her evidence in a reasonable way. She said that the defendant was a woman with bound feet and could not carry water herself.\n\nMr. Butters intimated that that was in favour of the prosecution.\n\n### Does not Disapprove of System\n\nExpert evidence was then called. Mr. Tong Yat-tsun went into the witness-box, and in reply to Mr. Butters, said that he had been a Justice of the Peace since 1916. In 1918 he was a Director of the Tung Wah Hospital and a Director of the Po Leung Kuk in 1919 and 1924. He was also a member of the permanent committee of the Po Leung Kuk, a member of the District Watchmen's Committee and a member of the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce.\n\nMr. Butters: Am I correct in saying that you do not disapprove of the mui tsai system?  \nWitness: Yes.\n\nSupposing a mui tsai of the age of, presumably, 15, European reckoning, was employed in a knitting factory for 10½ hours every night without interval or interruption, without facilities for sitting down and such employment continued nightly for the space of 2½ months, do you consider that that is normal and usual treatment for a mui tsai in the Colony and in accord with the accepted standard of Chinese employers of mui tsai?—No, it would not be fair.\n\nHis Worship pointed out that it was for him and not the witness to decide whether the complainant in the case had been over-worked or not. His Worship suggested that the question should be put in another form.\n\n### Question Too Long\n\nHis Worship: Is it a thing for a mui tsai to work at a factory?  \nMr. Butters: I had that asked.  \nHis Worship: Your question is too long.\n\nHis Worship's question was put to the witness, who replied \"No.\" The object of keeping a mui tsai is to keep her to work in the house. It is not usual to send her out to work.\n\nMr. Butters replied that what he argued was that both as a parent and as a mistress of a mui tsai the defendant had over-worked both her daughter and the mui tsai. He did not think that any parent had a right to work girls of their ages during such periods.\n\nMr. Butters: What about sending out a mui tsai at night?—It is not proper. It is not usual.\n\n### Ill-treatment not Pressed\n\nHis Worship said that with regard to the alleged ill-treatment they had only the child's evidence of that. The defendant denied the allegations made by the mui tsai and his Worship thought that he himself had suggested that there was no reason why the defendant should go into the witness-box, but if the prosecution were going to argue that there was a certain amount of ill-treatment during the day, his Worship would advise the defendant to give evidence on oath.\n\nMr. Butters: I am not pressing the charge of ill-treatment.  \nHis Worship: You are relying on the factory work?  \nMr. Butters: That's correct.\n\nHis Worship: Are mui tsais limited to wealthy households or are they bought by poor people as well?—Now-a-days a man must have some money before he buys a mui tsai, but later on he may be poor and then he will find it difficult to keep the mui tsai.\n\nMr. Butters: Are there certain obligations, certain standards of treatment, on the employer of a mui tsai?—There is certain treatment.\n\nHis Worship: That perhaps is a little too difficult a question to ask.\n\nMr. Butters: May I ask whether Mr. Tong thinks it is proper to hire out a mui tsai as personal...",

        "content_text": "# \n## Defendant's Financial Position\n\nHis Worship (to Mr. Butters): Of course, we have had no evidence as to the financial position of the defendant. She seems to be poor.\n\nMr. Butters: Well, she's got a son working.\n\nHis Worship: You don't think she's poor?\n\nMr. Butters: No.\n\nMr. Butters: May I ask whether Mr. Tong thinks that, according to the standards of Chinese customs, this mui tsai was overworked?\n\nWitness: Supposing a mistress is poor, the mui tsai has got to work but she should not be allowed to do night work.\n\nMr. Butters: Do you think 10½ hours every night for a period of 22 months, is excessive?—Yes, it is.\n\nHis Worship: According to Chinese ideas; you might just add that. Well, that's implied, of course.\n\nWhen asked if she wished to cross-examine the witness the defendant intimated that she had no questions to ask.\n\nHis Worship (to Mr. Tong): Now, Mr. Tong, according to Chinese customs, is a mui tsai usually treated the same as a daughter? There is some difference.\n\nYou say she is not usually treated as a daughter?—A daughter need not do household work but a mui tsai has to.\n\nIn this case, Mr. Tong, there is evidence that the defendant's own daughter was also sent out to work by night at the factory. Does that affect your opinion at all?—As I said, it all depends if the mistress is poor.\n\nThen the mistress's own child will have to go out to work, but as I say, they should not be asked to do night work and for such long hours.\n\n## Daughter and Mui Tsai\n\nWhich do you think is more justifiable? Sending out a mui tsai to work all night or sending out a daughter to work all night?—According to Chinese ideas? My opinion is that they would naturally send their mui tsai to do night work rather than to send their own child.\n\nAnd that in spite of the fact that a mui tsai is a person who is almost invariably expected to do only household work?—Yes.\n\n## Medical Evidence\n\nDr. H. A. Fawcett was called. Mr. Butters drew witness' attention to various sections of the Industrial Employment of Children Ordinance and, in reply, witness said that if these regulations were not adhered to, such breaches as were mentioned by Mr. Butters would be injurious to the child's health.\n\nSpeaking of the mui tsai in the present case, witness stated that she had been over-worked and such toil as she had been required to do at the hours mentioned by the prosecution was injurious to her health.\n\nHis Worship asked witness about the injurious effect of night work as compared with day work. Witness pointed out that it was less easy to sleep during the day because of the noise and remarked that night was the natural time to sleep. Night work also necessitated the use of artificial light. The physiological condition of the body, continued witness, was at a low ebb during the night, whereas during the day the vitality was at its height.\n\n## Children's Sleep\n\nA child of 15 or 16, said witness, should have ten or eleven hours' sleep in order to attain the ideal condition of health, especially for girls. This was the most important age of women. Witness then went on to explain how improper care of a woman's physique would have injurious effects in later years of her life.\n\nWitness said that he had visited knitting factories but unfortunately had not visited the one in question. The fact that the girl stood during her work was unhealthy for a girl of her age. Witness pointed out how it might have serious results later on in life. Long hours of standing was injurious to women of all ages but to young girls especially.\n\nContinuing, witness pointed out that dust from the machines had also an injurious effect on the workers' health. There was also what witness described as \"industrial fatigue\" which meant doing the same, automatic, work continuously. This has a jurious effect upon the system. Witness pointed out that at Home the work in factories was always varied, the employees having their work constantly changed even if it was only using their left hands instead of their right hands when sorting out chocolates.\n\n## An Extraordinary Feat\n\nComparing local conditions with those obtaining at Home, witness said that if an English girl or even a man were required to stand on their feet as long as is done locally, they would faint. As a feat of endurance, said witness, it was extraordinary.\n\nThis closed the case for the prosecution, and his Worship asked the interpreter to tell the defendant that it might be advisable for her to give evidence on oath, although his Worship pointed out she had the option of making a statement from the dock if she so desired.\n\nThe defendant elected to give evidence from the witness-box and said that the complainant had gone to the factory to work of her own accord. She had also gone to the feather sorting factory and carried earth of her own accord. It was not true, she said, that she gave the complainant insufficient food to eat or that she had ill-treated her. She had asked her each day if she found the work hard and if she did she had better give it up. Witness denied that she had struck the girl.\n\nHis Worship pointed out to the defendant that the prosecution were not asking her to consider ill-treatment. The Crown relied on the factory work.\n\nThe defendant replied that she could not help it as she was very poor and had no husband to support her.\n\n\"I ask your Worship to pardon me,\" added the defendant.\n\nHis Worship: We are still taking evidence.\n\n## Judgment Reserved\n\nAnswering Mr. Butters as to whether she had any suspicions that the complainant's work was hard, the defendant said that the complainant was looked upon as her own child, she said, was willing to work at the factory. Her own daughter was also willing to work.\n\nWhen asked if she thought she had been justified in allowing her daughter to go to the factory, the defendant replied that she had no money.\n\nIn reply to further questions witness admitted that she had a son working and that he was provided with free quarters which she also occupied.\n\nShe said that the complainant was 16 according to Chinese reckoning.\n\nHis Worship asked the Court interpreter if he could say definitely what that was equivalent to in European reckoning and was informed that it was either 14 or 15. Mr. Butters said that the girl's mother was in the Colony and could be called if necessary.\n\nHis Worship said that it would not help very much, if the girl was found to be 14 and 364 days old.\n\nMr. Butters said that he was not pressing that point.\n\nHis Worship reserved judgment.",

Well, that's implied, of course.\n\nWhen asked if she wished to cross-examine the witness the defendant intimated that she had no questions to ask.\n\nHis Worship (to Mr. Tong): Now, Mr. Tong, according to Chinese customs, is a mui tsai usually treated the same as a daughter?—There is some difference.\n\nYou say she is not usually treated as a daughter?—A daughter need not do household work but a mui tsai has to.\n\nIn this case, Mr. Tong, there is evidence that the defendant's own daughter was also sent out to work by night at the factory. Does that affect your opinion at all?—As I said, it all depends if the mistress is poor.\n\nThen the mistress's own child will have to go out to work, but as I say, they should not be asked to do night work and for such long hours.\n\n## Daughter and Mui Tsai\n\nWhich do you think is more justifiable? Sending out a mui tsai to work all night or sending out a daughter to work all night?—According to Chinese ideas? My opinion is that they would naturally send their mui tsai to do night work rather than to send their own child.\n\nAnd that in spite of the fact that a mui tsai is a person who is almost invariably expected to do only household work?—Yes.\n\nDr. H. A. Fawcett was next called. Mr. Butters drew witness' attention to various sections of the Industrial Employment of Children Ordinance and, in reply, witness said that if these regulations were not adhered to, such breaches as were mentioned by Mr. Butters would be injurious to the child's health.\n\nSpeaking of the mui tsai in the present case, witness stated that: It was not true, she said, that she had been over-worked and that she had been ill-treated. She had asked her each day if she found the work hard and if she did she had better give it up. Witness denied that she had struck the girl or that she had given the complainant insufficient food to eat.\n\nHis Worship asked witness about the injurious effect of night work as compared with day work. Witness pointed out that it was less easy to sleep during the day because of the noise and remarked that night was the natural time to sleep. Night work also necessitated the use of artificial light. The physiological condition of the body, continued witness, was at a low ebb during the night, whereas during the day the vitality was at its height.\n\n## Children's Sleep\n\nA child of 15 or 16, said witness, should have ten or eleven hours' sleep in order to attain the ideal condition of health, especially for girls. This was the most important age of women. Witness then went on to explain how improper care of a woman's physique would have injurious effects in later years of her life.\n\nWitness said that he had visited knitting factories but unfortunately had not visited the one in question. The fact that the girl stood during her work was unhealthy for a girl of her age. Witness pointed out how it might have serious results later on in life. Long hours of standing was injurious to women of all ages but to young girls especially.\n\nContinuing, witness pointed out that dust from the machines had also an injurious effect on the workers' health. There was also what witness described as \"industrial fatigue\" which meant doing the same, automatic, work continuously. This has an injurious effect upon the system. Witness pointed out that at Home the work in factories was always varied, the employees having their work constantly changed even if it was only using their left hands instead of their right hands when sorting out chocolates.\n\n## An Extraordinary Feat\n\nComparing local conditions with those obtaining at Home, witness said that if an English girl or even a man were required to stand on their feet as long as is done locally, they would faint. As a feat of endurance, said witness, it was extraordinary.\n\nThis closed the case for the prosecution, and his Worship asked the interpreter to tell the defendant that it might be advisable for her to give evidence on oath, although his Worship pointed out she had the option of making a statement from the dock if she so desired.\n\nThe defendant elected to give evidence from the witness-box and said that the complainant had gone to the factory to work of her own accord. She had also gone to the feather sorting factory and carried earth of her own accord.\n\nHis Worship pointed out to the defendant that the prosecution were not asking her to consider ill-treatment. The Crown relied on the factory work.\n\nThe defendant replied that she could not help it as she was very poor and had no husband to support her.\n\n\"I ask your Worship to pardon me,\" added the defendant.\n\nHis Worship: We are still taking evidence.\n\n## Judgment Reserved\n\nAnswering Mr. Butters as to whether she had any suspicions that the complainant's work was hard, the defendant said that the girl was looked upon as her own daughter. Her daughter, she said, was willing to work at the factory.\n\nWhen asked if she thought she had been justified in allowing her daughter to go to the factory, the defendant replied that she had no money.\n\nIn reply to further questions witness admitted that she had a son working and that he provided with free quarters which she also occupied.\n\nShe said that the complainant was 16 according to Chinese reckoning.\n\nHis Worship asked the Court interpreter if he could say definitely what that was equivalent to in European reckoning and was informed that it was either 14 or 15. Mr. Butters said that the girl's mother was in the Colony and could be called if necessary.\n\nHis Worship said that it would not help very much, if the girl was found to be 14 and 364 days old.\n\nMr. Butters said that he was not pressing that point.\n\nHis Worship reserved judgment.",

        "content_text": "# SOUTH CHINA MORNING POST\n## MONDAY, JULY 22, 1929\n\n### MUI TSAIS IN HONGKONG\n\n#### CHINESE EXPERT GIVES EVIDENCE ON LOCAL CONDITIONS OF CHILD LABOUR\n\nLabour conditions, to which children of certain Chinese families, more especially mui tsais, are subjected, were brought to light in a prosecution brought by the Secretariat for Chinese Affairs before Mr. T. S. Whyte Smith at the Kowloon Magistracy last week. On Saturday, at the special request of the Magistrate, expert evidence of local conditions was given by a prominent member of the Chinese community and the Medical Officer of Health.\n\nMr. Tong Yat-tsun, J.P., who has been identified with several local institutions for some years, gave it as his opinion that mui tsais were only purchased by the wealthy, but in the event of an owner becoming poor the girl might be required to earn money for her employers but she should not be subjected to excessive toil. There was a difference in treatment, was witness' opinion, between a daughter and a mui tsai, whose essential duties, however, were confined to household work.\n\nThe case concerned the widow of To Kwa Wan, who was charged on two counts under the Female Domestics (Mui Tsai) Ordinance of 1923. She was alleged to have ill-treated the girl by sending her to work in a factory for 10½ hours every night for a period of 2½ months. The defendant was also alleged to have failed to provide the girl with sufficient food.\n\nMr. H. R. Butters, Assistant Chinese Secretary for Chinese Affairs, appeared for the prosecution.\n\nAddressing Mr. Butters, his Worship said: As you know, I requested that the Medical Officer of Health be called as a witness and I have been giving a great deal of consideration to the matter since. I am not at all sure if his evidence will be really relevant. I am more and more convinced that the matter is governed by the Industrial Employment of Children Ordinance, where certain regulations are laid down.\n\nNow, that Ordinance defines a child as a person under the age of 15 years and I am inclined to hold that this mui tsai is over 15. She says herself that she is 16, according to Chinese reckoning, which you argue is 14 by European reckoning. Dr. Thomas said he would estimate the girl's age at about 15 or 16, European reckoning, and I think I might find under the circumstances that she is over 15.\n\nMr. Butters: 15 or over.\nHis Worship: That is, she is 15 or over.\n\nContinuing, his Worship said: And as you know Regulation 10 of that Ordinance says \"no child shall be employed in any industrial undertaking between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m.\" Now, assuming that this child is 15 or over, then could it be held that a woman, by sending out her daughter or her mui tsai to work at night in a factory, is ill-treating or over-working that girl, when, according to that Regulation, night work seems to be permitted for children above the age of 15? That's the question.\n\n#### Decision on Other Grounds\n\nExpert evidence was then called. Mr. Tong Yat-tsun went into the witness-box, and in reply to Mr. Butters, said that he had been a Justice of the Peace since 1916. In 1918 he was a Director of the Tung Wah Hospital and a Director of the Po Leung Kuk in 1919 and 1924. He was also a member of the permanent committee of the Po Leung Kuk, a member of the District Watchmen's Committee and a member of the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce.\n\nMr. Butters: Am I correct in saying that you do not disapprove of the mui tsai system?\nWitness: Yes.\n\nSupposing a mui tsai of the age, presumably, of 15, European reckoning, was employed in a knitting factory for 10½ hours every night without interval or interruption, without facilities for sitting down and such employment continued nightly for the space of 2½ months, do you consider that that is normal and usual treatment for a mui tsai in the Colony and in accord with the accepted standard of Chinese employers of mui tsais?-No, it would not be fair.\n\nHis Worship pointed out that it was for him and not the witness to decide whether the complainant in the case had been over-worked or not. His Worship suggested that the question should be put in another form.\n\nHis Worship: Is it a usual thing for a mui tsai to work at a factory?\nWitness: No. The object of keeping a mui tsai is to keep her to work in the house. It is not usual to send her out to a factory.\n\nMr. Butters: What about sending out a mui tsai at night?\nWitness: That's not proper. It is not correct.\n\nHis Worship: Are mui tsais limited to wealthy households or are they bought by poor people as well?-Now-a-days a man must have some money before he buys a mui tsai, but later on he may be poor and then he will find it difficult to keep the mui tsai.\n\nMr. Butters: Are there certain obligations, certain standards of treatment, on the employer of a mui tsai?\nWitness: How... a mui tsai has to be treated.\n\nHis Worship: That perhaps is a little too difficult a question to ask.\n\nIn this case, Mr. Tong, there is evidence that the defendant's own daughter was also sent out to work by night at the factory. Does that affect your opinion at all?-As I said, it all depends if the mistress is poor. Then the mistress's own child will have to go out to work, but as I say, they should not be asked to do night work and for such long hours.\n\nDaughter and Mui Tsai. Which do you think is more justifiable? Sending out a mui tsai to work all night or sending out a daughter to work all night?-According to Chinese ideas? My opinion is that they would naturally send their mui tsai to do night work rather than to send their own child.\n\nDr. H. A. Fawcett was next called. Mr. Butters drew witness' attention to various sections of the Industrial Employment of Children Ordinance and, in reply, witness said that if these regulations were not adhered to, such breaches as were mentioned by Mr. Butters would be injurious to the child's health.\n\nSpeaking of the mui tsai in the present case, witness stated that she had been over-worked and such toil as she had been required to do at the hours mentioned by the prosecution was injurious to her health.\n\nHis Worship asked witness about the injurious effect of night work as compared with day work. Witness pointed out that it was less easy to sleep during the day because of the noise and remarked that night was the natural time to sleep. Night work also necessitated the use of artificial light. The physiological condition of the body, continued witness, was at a low ebb during the night, whereas during the day the vitality was at its height.\n\nThe defendant elected to give evidence from the witness-box and said that the complainant had gone to the factory to work of her own accord. She had also gone to the feather sorting factory and carried earth of her own accord.\n\nMr. Butters: Well, she's got a son working.\nHis Worship: You don't think she's poor?\n\nMr. Butters: No.\n\nThe defendant said that she had asked her each day if she found the work hard and if she did she had better give it up. Witness denied that she had struck the girl.\n\nMr. Butters: May I ask whether Mr. Tong thinks that, according to the standards of Chinese customs, this mui tsai was over-worked?\n\nWitness: Supposing a mistress is poor, the mui tsai has got to work but she should not be allowed to do night work.\n\nHis Worship reserved judgment.\n\n### OFFICIAL'S ABSENCE\n\n#### Criticised by Magistrate in Mui Tsai Case\n\nWong Hay and another woman were charged before Mr. E. W. Hamilton on Saturday with assaulting a mui-tsai.\n\nInspector M. Murphy informed the Magistrate that he had been requested by Mr. H. R. Butters, of the Secretariat for Chinese Affairs, to ask for an adjournment of the case.\n\nMr. Hamilton: If the S.C.A. is the complainant, they should send up a representative. Mr. Butters should know that perfectly well.\n\nInspector Murphy: I know nothing about the facts at all, your Worship. All I have is this chit.\n\nHis Worship said he was being left in entire ignorance of the facts of the case by people, who, having put themselves down as complainants, should have been present in Court to tell him all about it.\n\nThe case was held over, while Inspector Murphy left to communicate with the S.C.A.\n\nAfter an interval, he returned to inform the Magistrate that neither the Hon. Mr. R. A. C. North nor any of his assistants had turned up.\n\nHis Worship formally remanded the case until this morning, fixing cash bail in the amount of $500 for each defendant.\n\n### NORTH CHINA FLOODS\n\n#### VILLAGES INUNDATED\n\nPeking, July 21. Recent heavy rains in north China have caused the Yungting-ho to burst its south bank near Chochow, Hopei.\n\nAt present ten villages are inundated, while the waters are still pouring through the gap, which is seven hundred feet long.\n\nThe Provincial Government has sent engineers and relief workers, but is handicapped by the lack of funds, as to which it has telegraphed to the Ministry of Finance appealing for the Ministry's monthly contribution to the Hopei river funds, which are now seven months in arrears.-Reuter.\n\n### BOYCOTT LIFTED\n\n#### Improved Conditions on Upper Yangtsze\n\nNaval wireless messages received over the week-end state that the situation on the Upper Yangtze has improved materially. The boycott against British ships has been officially lifted at Chungking and one of the Jardine Matheson ships is proceeding with full cargo. The B. and S. S. Wantung is loading. Trade is still bad, but the outlook is more hopeful.",

        "content_text": "## Prevention of the dissemination of Plague.\n\nIn the matter of the prevention of the dissemination of Plague by rats, something is being done, for rats are being caught and rats are being examined. Experience in other countries shows that this is of value in finding out the endemic centres of the rat plague, but it has no appreciable effect on the rat population. There are 27 rat catchers employed by the Sanitary Department.\n\nThe examination of the rats and the identification of the rat fleas is done by the Medical Department.\n\nLittle or no attempt is being made to control the importation or exportation of rats, and the steamers tied up along the Praya have no rat guards.\n\nThe responsibility for action necessary regarding the removal of ceilings and stair linings to prevent the same becoming refuges for rats, lies with the Public Works Department.\n\nThe periodical cleansing of houses and the washing of the floors and walls with kerosene emulsion was originally started as an anti-plague measure. As mentioned previously, this valuable work is being carried out in a very satisfactory manner.\n\n## Measures taken with regard to Smallpox.\n\nEvery year during the winter months, this disease manifests in outbreaks which are sometimes sporadic, sometimes epidemic. Whatever be the prevalence, there is always a tendency for the morbidity rate to decline or disappear with the advent of summer.\n\nConsidering its high infectivity, its terrible disfigurement, and the frequency of fatalities, the indifference shown by the Chinese to the presence of cases in their midst is puzzling. All Chinese know the disease, and the presence of a case in a tenement house cannot escape the notice of the occupiers, yet for some obscure psychological reason, they refrain from reporting its presence to the authorities, and more often than not, the first notification received by the M.O.H. is that from the Mortuary of a body, name and address unknown.\n\nAfter the 1916-1917 epidemic, in an endeavour to stop the practice of dumping and to encourage notification of cases, the Sanitary Board passed a resolution - \"that patients suffering from smallpox be allowed to be treated in their own homes provided that:\na. All cases in the district be notified to the M.O.H.\nb. All inmates of the house be vaccinated.\nc. A notice be posted on the door of the house where the patient is being treated\".\n\nThe results did not come up to expectations, for the populace ignored the concession and continued their practice of concealing cases and dumping corpses.\n\nThe resolution was never rescinded, and today, in the very overcrowded tenement houses of the overpopulated city of Victoria, cases of this very infectious disease remain undisturbed, spreading infection through all who come near them. Assuming that all deaths are reported and assuming that 50 per cent of those attacked die - then out of 1,708 cases in 1929, forty-two per cent never came to the notice of the health authorities, 42 per cent were dumped dead and reported through the mortuary, and 12 per cent were notified through the hospitals, some when the disease was well advanced and some with false addresses. Probably 90 per cent of the infected premises are never disinfected.\n\nIsolation of the sick, disinfection of premises, and vaccination and surveillance of contacts, such as carried out in other civilized cities, being impossible, the only means left for combatting an epidemic is general vaccination, and vaccination voluntary, not compulsory.\n\n## Disinfection.\n\nAll disinfection is performed by the Sanitary Department. There are two disinfecting stations, one in Victoria and one in Kowloon - both furnished with steam disinfectors of the Washington Lyon or Equifex type, with sack disinfectors for steam, and with sprays and apparatus for fumigation.\n\nAs the majority of infectious cases either escape the notice of the Sanitary Authority altogether or only become known through the Mortuaries as dumped bodies, name and address unknown, it follows that there is little disinfection of infected premises or of infectious clothing and bedding.\n\n## Dead Box Service.\n\nThe Dead Boxes or vehicles for conveying the dead are in charge of the Sanitary Department. One of their chief duties is to convey to the mortuary the dead dumped in the streets.\n\n## Ambulance Service.\n\nThe motor ambulances are in charge of the Police and Fire Department; the hand ambulances in charge of the Sanitary Department. That is to say, there are two independent departments engaged in this necessarily emergency service.\n\n## Work under the Registration of Births and Deaths Ordinance.\n\nThe Registrar is the Head of the Sanitary Department, and the General Registration Office is situated at the Sanitary Department Head Office.\n\nAt this Office, all non-Chinese births and deaths must be registered. Chinese are required to register in the district within which the birth or death occurred.\n\nThe Police Officers in charge of Stations, the Sanitary Inspector in charge of Kowloon Disinfecting Station, and the Principal Clerks in charge of the Chinese Public Dispensaries have been appointed Assistant Registrars.\n\nDeath registration being a necessary preliminary to burial is almost universal, but many of the notifications come from the mortuaries as those of dumped bodies, name and address unknown. With regard to births, a considerable number, especially those of females, are never registered. Though the vaccinators are under the Medical Department, the Registrar of Births and Deaths is responsible for ensuring the vaccination of all children whose births are registered. According to the 1928 figures, about one-third of those born were vaccinated. If one takes into account the number of births which are never registered, the conclusion is that less than 25 per cent of those born are vaccinated.\n\nWith regard to vital statistics, an accurate basis of facts derived from a sufficient amount of experience and tabulated with proper precision lies at the foundation of hygiene as of all exact sciences. Year by year, a mass of figures supposed to represent the vital statistics of Hong Kong are published in the Annual Report, and one who does not know the facts would take them as correct. The following shows what a great probable error there is.\n\nThere was no accurate census in 1921, and even if there had been, it would have very little value in the estimate of population, as the numbers vary far more through immigration and emigration than through natural increase of births over deaths. With trouble in China, there is an influx of refugees; with the return of peace, there is a reverse movement.\n\nThe true death rate is one index of sanitation, but no one who knows the overcrowded condition of the houses in Hong Kong can agree that the published death rate is the true one. The Chinese have a longing to die in their native towns and to be buried there, and those who are sick, especially those who feel that they are about to die, leave Hong Kong, and thus the death rate is not a true one.",

        "content_text": "## 7:1 \n\n163 \n\n11. Another general recommendation is that the system of direct labour and the execution of small works by the various departments of the Public Works Department should be extended. Direct labour is used by the Roads Maintenance, the Waterworks and the Electrical departments, and a commencement has been made with the repairing of Government furniture at the Government store. This system should be extended. Wherever there is a steady demand for a standard article such as a door or a chair, or where there is a continuous stream of minor repairs, whether it be to a grating or to a motor car, it is cheaper to employ direct labour. It is only when there is an intermittent demand that the advantage lies with the \"tender\" system. A word of warning must however be added. Strict control should be exercised to ensure that under the guise of direct casual labour, there is not included personnel which should appear in and be paid from Personal Emoluments.\n\nAnother irregular proceeding of a somewhat similar nature is the inclusion in the Estimates under Loan Works of permanent staff engaged on loan works. Such staff should be shown under the Personal Emoluments sub-head of the department to which they belong.\n\n12. On the subject of tenders and contracts the Commissioners have three recommendations to make. The first is that the list of contractors should be kept by the Chairman of the Tender Board, under whose control and custody should also be the tender box (at present it is with the Chief Clerk at the Secretariat; the box to be opened only in his presence and that of one other member of the Board. Secondly, that tenders for large contracts should be called for in three successive issues of the Government Gazette. This will ensure that all who wish to tender will have the opportunity of so doing.",

(Continued from page 11) considering strong action separately or jointly with Britain.\n\nThe New York Herald-Tribune says: \"There is every sign that a strong protest would be raised if the Japanese move within the Settlement.\"\n\nThe administration spokesmen have given an inferential warning that Japanese military action within the Settlement would be unwarranted and inexcusable.\n\nRumours of a British Note.\n\nNew York, Jan. 26.\n\nIt is learned from Tokio that the British Government has sent a Note to the Japanese Government presumably on the subject of extraterritoriality in China.\n\nA Flat Denial.\n\nLondon, Jan. 27. The Daily Telegraph's diplomatic correspondent states that British official circles yesterday flatly denied the reports from America alleging that the British Government had dispatched a Note to Japan anent Shanghai.\n\nFOR AUSTRALIA.\n\nTHE STRAITS TIMES, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 27, 1932.\n\nAir Base Machines to Fly To Port Darwin,\n\nThree flying boats from the Seletar Air Base are to make a flight in mid-March to Port Darwin, Australia.\n\nThe Straits Times was informed that nothing is yet fixed definitely. The crews will be selected later. The route will probably be via Banka, Tandjong Priok, Sourabaya, Bima, Timor Island, and on to Port Darwin. The return flight will be made in the first or second week of April.\n\nMAN AND WOMAN STABBED.\n\nAttempted Robbery At Pasir Panjang.\n\nShortly after one o'clock this morning, information of a robbery at the 84th milestone, Pasir Panjang Road, was received by the Orchard Road division police. Inspector Ratton and Inspector Goh went to the scene to find a Chinese and his wife suffering from stab wounds. The woman had a wound in her hand, while the husband had several stabs in the neck.\n\nTwo Chinese, it is said, armed with knives, attacked the inmates. On alarm being raised, the robbers got away. The proprietor is said to be in a critical condition.\n\nPOOR MR. HU HAN-MIN!\n\nStudents Pester His Life Out.\n\nHong Kong, Jan. 27. The Nanking University students who went to Canton from Hong Kong a day or two ago have decided to return to Hong Kong today in order to continue their efforts to persuade Mr. Hu Han-min to go north.-Sin Kuo Min. Reuter.\n\nGeneva, Jan. 26 (8.53 p.m.)\n\n\"Please Go Away!\"\n\nHong Kong, Jan. 27. Reuter learns authoritatively that there is no truth in the report that the League Council has decided to warn Japan regarding Shanghai.\n\nThe Council commissioned M. Paul Boncour to give moderating advice to both parties, and this was done when the Chinese and Japanese delegates were received separately.-Reuter.\n\nA number of students from the Chungshan University at Canton, who are appealing for funds on behalf of their military corps, arrived in Hong Kong yesterday on their way to Nanking. They proceeded to the residence of Mr. Hu Han-min in Hong Kong yesterday in order to endeavour to persuade him to go north, but Mr. Hu Han-min refused to receive a deputation from them.-Sin Kuo Min.\n\n'QUIET BUT TENSE.\" Chinese Entrenched On City Outskirts.\n\nShanghai, Jan. 26.\n\nThe situation is quiet but tense, and there is general apprehension lest the Japanese naval authorities should take the law into their own hands.\n\nSZECHWAN-KANSU. Situation Rapidly Developing.\n\nShanghai, Jan. 27. Reports to hand state that the situation as regards the Szechwan-Kansu hostilities is rapidly developing, but reliable details are not available. Meanwhile, Chinese troops are entrenching on the outskirts of Shanghai, notably in the neighbourhood of Hungjao Road, in the western district, which is a favourite foreign residential area. Reuter.\n\nShanghai, Jan. 27.\n\nThe 19th army, which is in the Shanghai area, is determined to fight the Japanese should the Japanese decide to take drastic measures in Shanghai.\n\nMartial law is being enforced every night around Shanghai.-Sin Kuo Min.\n\nA Significant Appointment.\n\nNanking, Jan. 26.\n\nVice-General Chan Ming-shu (the President of the Executive Yuan and Minister of Communications) has been appointed Foreign Minister in succession to Mr. Eugene Chen, who has resigned.-Reuter.\n\nThis is a most significant appointment since General Chan Ming-shu is a staunch supporter of Marshal Chiang Kai-shek, who is favouring a policy of conciliation towards Japan.\n\nPEKING AND SWATOW.\n\nJapanese Demands Closing Down of Newspapers.\n\nPeking, Jan. 26.\n\nThe Japanese Chargé d'Affaires has called on Marshal Chang Hsueh-lang and expressed strong indignation at an editorial regarding Korea printed on Jan. 23 by the Chinese-owned Peking Leader, the only English language daily in Peking.\n\nDeclaring that he was acting under the instructions of the Foreign Office, the Japanese Chargé d'Affaires demanded the permanent closing down of the Peking Leader, the arrest of the editor, and an apology.-Reuter.\n\nMayor of Swatow Defiant.\n\nHong Kong, Jan. 26.\n\nThe Japanese Consul at Swatow again interviewed the Mayor of Swatow on January 23 and peremptorily demanded the suppression of all newspapers in Swatow publishing news against Japan and the Japanese.\n\nHowever, the Mayor of Swatow declined to give any such promise.-Sin Kuo Min.\n\nJEHOL INVASION. Japanese Advance As Villages Burn.\n\nShanghai, Jan. 27.\n\nWest of the Liao-ho River, the main Japanese forces are continuing their drive northward up the Tatung Railway from Tahushan towards Tunglao.\n\nThey are still meeting with considerable resistance from Chinese volunteers, and severe fighting is stated to be in progress.\n\nThe Chinese volunteers have withdrawn to Hungloshan.\n\nThe Japanese advance northwards and into Jehol is being handicapped by reason of the fact that villages in the mountains are being set on fire. It is stated that the Chinese people who have their homes in these mountains are suffering miserably in consequence.\n\nGeneral Yu Hsueh-tsung has dispatched representatives to Tatung to welcome Marshal Wu Pei-fu. General Yu Hsueh-tsung was, at all events until recently, the garrison commander of the Peking and Tientsin area and commander of the first army of the North-Eastern Frontier Defence Force. Sin Kuo Min.\n\nVolunteers Attacking Tahushan.\n\nNanking, Jan. 27. Chinese volunteers are again counter-attacking Tahushan (between Sinmin and Kowpangtse on the Mukden-Peking Railway, where the Tatung branch line from Tungliao joins the main line).\n\nThe extent of the casualties is unknown. Sin Kuo Min.\n\nAeroplane Shot Down.\n\nNanking, Jan. 26. Fighting continues spasmodically on the Jehol frontier.\n\nThe Chinese volunteers have retreated to Hingcheng. It is reported that one Japanese plane was shot down by the volunteers. Sin Kuo Min.\n\nMarshal Wu and Yen.\n\nShanghai, Jan. 26. Marshal Wu Pei-fu is continuing his conference with Marshal Yen Shi-shan at Pati. It is understood that he is ready to proceed to the front at any time to fight against the Japanese.\n\nGeneral Choi Ting-kai is taking every precaution in the Shanghai and Nanking area.\n\nThe following have been elected office-bearers of the Siew Sin Sia Association, Singapore: President, Messrs. Ghee Song (re-elected); Vice-President, Messrs. Lam To (re-elected) and Lim Tan; hon. secretary, Mr. Teo Soo Poh; asst. hon. secretary, Mr. Sng Seng Heng; hon. treasurer, Mr. Teo Geok Lin (re-elected); asst. hon. treasurer, Mr. Pek Kim Feng (re-elected); hon.

Following on the visit of the five Japanese naval officers to the Editor, mentioned in an earlier cable, the Kuomintang organ, the Republican Daily News, which is published in the heart of the International Settlement, has been closed down in compliance with the demands of Japanese Admiral Shiosawa.\n\nMAYOR WU.\n\nExpected to Comply With Japanese Demands.\n\nShanghai, Jan. 27.\n\nAs a result of a long discussion which he had with the principal Chinese bankers, the Mayor of Greater Shanghai (Mr. Wu Tieh-cheng) is expected to order the dissolution of all anti-Japanese Associations in Greater Shanghai tomorrow.\n\nDERAILED MAIL TRAIN.\n\nFalling on Line.\n\nCause Thought to be Brake Box.\n\nIpoh, Jan. 26. It is believed that the mail train accident between Kumunting and Krian Road, in which three coaches were derailed, was caused by a brake box falling on the line.\n\nPassengers in the derailed coaches were transferred to other coaches and continued the journey to Prai.\n\nOur Penang correspondent telegraphs that the train was 90 minutes late in reaching Prai.\n\nThe work of cleaning the line is proceeding quickly.\n\n\"BIG MASTER\" Editor to Pay Costs Of Prosecution.\n\nIpoh, Jan. 26.\n\nIn addition to the fine of $300, the editor of The Thunderer has been ordered to pay the costs of prosecution in a case in which a headmaster complained he had been defamed in a story \"Big Masters' Five Whiskers.\"\n\nLOCAL INDUSTRY.\n\nU.S. Manila Fleet on Way.\n\nNanking, Jan. 27. It is reported here that the United States Fleet at Manila is moving to Shanghai. Sin Kuo Min.\n\nWELSH PIT DISASTER.\n\nRescuers Display Great Gallantry.\n\nRugby, Jan. 27. Eleven bodies have been recovered from the pit at Llwynypia, South Wales, where an explosion occurred while 100 men were working in the pit.\n\nMany of the men are suffering from gas, shock, and minor injuries.

Mr. Lim Cheng Ean: I would\n\nlike to ask whether the first reading can be postponed until it is known whether Government proposes to establish a customs union. We have been told just now that the Bill is not to be considered as a handmaid to the proposed customs union, and I think the postponement of the first reading would give assurance to such as fear that the present Bill points to the possible establishment of a customs union.\n\nTHE STRAITS TIMES, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 27, 1932.\n\nunion were rejected this Bill would still be necessary for the good administration and sound finances of this Colony.\n\nThe Bill was then read a first time.\n\nMUI TSAI IN THE STRAITS.\n\nWhy It Must be Banned By Statute.\n\nby statute as has been done in Hong Kong. I think I may safely say that that too is the desire of all enlightened and progressive Chinese in the Colony.\n\nwhen inhuman treatment occasioning the death or injury of some unfortunate girl is brought to light.\"\n\nI turn then to a more detailed explanation of this Bill.\n\nI will clinch this point by one last quotation, from the regulations for the registration of mui tsai, issued by the Government of Canton, as reported in the Hong Kong Weekly Press of Aug. 22, 1930; it reads,\n\nThe acting Secretary for Chinese Affairs, the Hon. Mr. A. B. Jordan, in moving the first reading of a Bill intituled \"An Ordinance relating to Mui Tsai,\" said:\n\nbe withdrawn because the age of the girl could not be proved and in the other a fine was imposed.\n\n\"From the date of proclamation, it is prohibited to buy or sell mui tsai; neither is it allowed to acquire girls under the pretext of their being adopted daughters.\"\n\nSir, I am of the considered opinion, and\n\nI urge this Council to accept this view,\n\nThe main object of this Bill is to remove\n\nthat if this legislation is to be successful\n\nany vestige of a doubt, that may still\n\nit is essential that the definition of mui\n\nThe main defects of this ordinance—ai should be as wide as that given in\n\nexist in the mind of anyone, that slavery in any form, or semi-slavery call it what\n\nwere the narrowness of the definition and Section 2 of the Bill.

A mui tsai does not inherit any part of her employer's estate when he dies, but herself becomes part of the estate and a charge on the inheritor of the property.\n\n\"Pledge for\" and \"in settlement of a debt\" go together.

One quotation is from\n\na letter written by His Majesty's Consul\n\nat Swatow in April 1929, and reads,\n\nI do not wish to be misunderstood, sir,\n\nand to be thought to be suggesting that\n\nthe ill-treatment of mui tsai is the rule\n\nin the Colony or in Malaya generally; far\n\nfrom it, it is the exception. In sup-\n\nport of that statement I would like to\n\nmention the results of inquiries made in\n\n1930 by the Protector of Chinese, Singa-\n\npore, with a view to discovering what was\n\nthe general condition and treatment of\n\nmui tsai in Singapore. A hundred girls\n\nwere examined who were suspected to be!\n\nmui tsai, and they were taken from various\n\nparts of Singapore, and amongst these\n\n100 girls no definite case of cruelty was\n\nfound, though two girls were found to be\n\noverworked and neglected and were put\n\ninto the Po Leung Kuk, but event these\n\ntwo still wished, after their time in the\n\nPo Leung Kuk, to return to their employers.\n\nThe Protector of Chinese was satisfied\n\nthat all but six out of the 100 suspected\n\nmui tsai were happy and well-treated, and\n\nit was noteworthy that not one of the 100\n\nexpressed to the Protector her wish to\n\nleave her present employer.\n\nBut the existence of the mui tsai system\n\nis felt to be an anachronism in a British\n\ncolony in these modern days, and its con-\n\ntinuance is definitely contrary to the\n\npolicy of the Home Government, which\n\ndesires that the system should be banned\n\nof a hinterland of about 8,000 square\n\nmiles, consisting of the Settlement itself\n\nand large portions of Johore, Negri Sem-\n\nilan and Pahang.\n\nMalacca must be largely dependent on\n\nsea-borne trade, as-in spite of the condi-\n\ntion of its harbour-a considerable volume\n\n\"In theory the pei nui (maid servant\n\nof imports and exports continues to\n\nforce or slave girl) system has no existence\n\nits way in and out of its port, for the\n\nin China, where slavery, expressly for-\n\nsimple reason that it is far cheaper to\n\nbidden in the latter years of the Manchu\n\nship such commodities through Malacca\n\ndynasty, is now a punishable offence\n\nthan through any other Malayan port.

It was necessary to carry out a certain amount of nullah diversion and training at this site, and this work was executed under the Maintenance Contract. A new contract to continue the removal of silt in 1934 was prepared, and tenders were called for in the Gazette at the end of December.\n\n## 245. Access Roads\n\nThis item was referred to in paragraph 215 of last year's Report. The access road to the Lower Dam and a length of the Wanchai Gap-Aberdeen Road were surfaced by the Roads Department during the year.\n\n## 246. Reconstruction of Main Outfall Nullah at Aberdeen\n\nThis work, which was referred to in paragraph 216 of last year's Report, was completed on the 30th April, an extension of 28 days on contract time being necessary. The maintenance period expired on the 30th August, and the retention money was paid to the Contractors, The Eastern Mercantile & Construction Co. The work under this contract consisted of the enlargement, due to increased catchment area, of the existing nullah at the old Aberdeen Paper Mills, and necessitated the demolition and reconstruction of the existing west side wall of the nullah, the main road bridge, the foot bridge, and a short length of the Peak outfall sewer. The crossectional area of the old nullah was increased from 150 to 250 square feet by the construction of a new channel 15'-6\" wide at the base and 6'-6\" deep on the west side of, and adjoining, the old nullah. The invert was constructed of 1,2,4 cement concrete 9\" thick throughout, a length of 220′ on the outfall side of the bridge being reinforced. The side wall for a length of 162 feet on the upstream side of the bridge was constructed of 1,2,4 cement concrete 9′′ thick, the remainder of the wall being of gravity section composed of 1,2,4 cement concrete with displacers. The length of the new channel is 425 feet.\n\nThe old main road bridge over the nullah, which was originally of three spans, two of which had subsequently been filled in, consisted of a concrete slab about 9\" thick supported between piers and abutments on old steel rails. The new bridge of two spans, 24′-9′′ and 13'-9\" clear, was constructed of 1,2,4 reinforced cement concrete, of the beam and slab type surmounted by a concrete parapet of the pilaster and balustrade type. The two old piers were demolished and replaced by 1,2,4 cement concrete with displacers. The foundations of the new pier, abutments, and side wall of the new channel were piled with 8′′ x 8′′ reinforced cement concrete piles. Rapid hardening cement was used throughout for the bridge. The width of the bridge was increased from 19′ to 30′, and the level raised from 14.74 to 17.36 A.O.D.\n\nThe old footbridge, which was of single span, consisted of a concrete slab supported between abutments on rolled steel joists. The new footbridge of two spans and 6'-0\" wide was constructed of 1,2,4 reinforced cement concrete of the beam and slab type, the old rolled steel joists being utilized for the Eastern span. A wrought iron handrail parapet supported by reinforced cement concrete posts was erected on both sides of the deck slab.\n\nThe existing concrete sewer was of double box section and was replaced by a 21\" diameter mild steel pipe. The two existing manholes were demolished and rebuilt.\n\n| Expenditure        | Amount        |\n| ------------------ | ------------- |\n| 1933 Expenditure   | $225,155.38   |\n| Expenditure to 31st Dec., 1933 | $2,499,625.70 |\n\n## TYTAM TUK CATCHWATERS\n\n## 247. (a) Tytam Tuk East Catchwater\n\nA Contract for this work was let on the 16th January to Messrs. Yee Lee & Co. for $148,303.00. A high percentage of rock was encountered in the excavations, and progress was slow until the middle of the year, after which the Contractor made very good progress with the excavations. By the end of the year, approximately 2,300 linear feet of Catchwater were completed, leaving 780 linear feet to be constructed. Owing to the poor nature of rock encountered and the lack of skilled tunnel masons, it was decided to execute the outfall tunnel under the Island Road by cut and cover. This work was commenced in October, and excavation was practically completed when a serious slip occurred on the 29th December. Remedial measures were immediately put in hand. The outfall cut beyond the Island Road, 300 feet in length, was completed during the year.\n\n## 248. (b) Mount Parker Catchwater: First Section\n\nA contract for the outfall section of this catchwater was prepared towards the end of the year, and tenders invited. The contract comprises the construction of a reinforced concrete aqueduct, about 650 linear feet of catchwater, and a tunnel 540 feet long under Tytam Gap.\n\n## 249. (c) Pottinger Peak Catchwater: First Section\n\nA contract for this work was let on the 30th June to Messrs. Sang Tai & Co. for $41,952.00 and was completed by the end of the year. The work consists of a catchwater 4162 feet in length draining 106 acres of the northern slopes of Mount Collinson and discharging through a low gap approximately 600 feet East of Tytam Gap into a stream collected by the Tytam Tuk East Catchwater. This catchwater was constructed in two sizes having a crossectional area of 34.0 square feet for the larger and of 28.0 square feet for the smaller. The invert and lower part of the sidewalls were constructed of 1,2,4 cement concrete 4$\\frac{1}{2}$\" thick. The side walls and cope were constructed of 1,2,4, 8 lime and cement concrete 4$\\frac{1}{2}$\" thick and had a batter of 24 to 1 in soft and 8 to 1 in rock section. Overflows have been constructed at stream crossings. A path of a minimum width of 4 feet was formed along the outside of the catchwater, and this was carried over the overflows on a reinforced concrete decking. Sand traps have been constructed in the invert at all overflows. The outfall section consists of a culvert under the Shek O Road and a section of stepped catchwater.\n\n## Second Section\n\nSurvey work for this was completed and plotted during the year.",

Soon the net was torn to pieces, and the buffaloes slipped out of the net and disappeared, and when the astonished fisherman turned round to Pooi To, he had disappeared too.\n\nThe\n\nAfter this Pooi To went to the capital city, and stayed in the house of a rich man named Ch'an, a native of Naam Chau. Later stories reached Chan that there was another Pooi To in the city. Chan and his four sons could not believe it, but as the people who told them persisted, Chan resolved to find out for himself. Leaving Pooi To in the house, he went with his sons into the town, and found, to his surprise, another monk exactly like Pooi To sitting there. Then Chan prepared a box of honey-ginger, which he gave to the new Pooi To, together with a knife to cut the ginger and a handkerchief dipped in fragrant water. The monk put the box on his lap, and started to eat the ginger, but however much he ate, the same amount remained in the box. So Chan decided that this man must indeed be Pooi To, and telling his two younger sons to remain with him, he went home again with the others. When they opened the door of their house they found Pooi To sitting there and on his lap was a box of honey ginger, a knife and a handkerchief dipped in fragrant water. He held out the knife to Chan, saying, \"This is not sharp enough to cut the ginger. Sharpen it.\" While Chan was doing this, the two younger sons returned home, and reported that they had followed the monk in the city to the monastery of Ling Tsau. Then Pooi To asked to be given two pieces of yellow paper, and he wrote some characters on the back of each. No one could understand the characters or even knew what language they were, and when Chan asked him what he was writing Pooi To gave no reply. He folded the papers together, and shortly afterwards disappeared.\n\n3\n\nAbout that time a certain official or minister named Chue Ling K'ei was on his way down from Korea to China in a small vessel. He met a typhoon and the boat was tossed about the sea for nine days and then driven on to the shore of an island. The island consisted of a steep mountain, and here Chue and his companions wandered about trying to find food and help. At last they came to a grass-cutter's path which they followed. After walking about ten miles they heard the sound of monastery bells and smelt the fragrance of burning joss sticks. Filled with hope they knelt and prayed to Buddha to bring them to safety. Then they came to a monastery, large and beautifully decorated, and saw ten or more priests outside, but coming nearer they found that they were made of stone. The travellers were amazed, and being afraid began to pray to be forgiven of their sins. In the distance they heard a voice shouting to them, and searching in the direction of the voice they came across another priest, but found he also was made of stone. Many times they heard voices calling them, but could find nothing but stone figures. Then they said to each other, \"Those are all Saints, we are unworthy wicked men, so how can we see them,\" and they knelt down and prayed very earnestly for forgiveness. When they had finished praying they looked up and saw a real priest coming towards them, who welcomed them kindly and brought them into the monastery.

        "content_text": "Divisional Superintendent of Police (Kowloon), \n\nSir, \n\nI forward herewith a preliminary report of the larceny of 40,000 detonators the contents of four cases from No.5 Magazine, Green Island Dangerous Goods Depot between 12.40 hours on 3.8.35 and 18.00 hours on 4.8.35. \n\nNo.5 Magazine is styled the detonator magazine and only detonators are stored therein. It is situated at the North West corner of the depot. In this magazine were stored 136 cases of detonators the property of Messrs. Jardine Matheson, Messrs. Shewan Tomes and the Public Works Department, respectively. At the moment I am not sure of the exact number of cases held on behalf of the two aforementioned firms; but the Public Works Department had in the magazine 6 cases each containing 10,000 detonators and one broken box containing 2,620. These cases are what are left of a consignment of 15 cases which were stored there by the Public Works Department on 28.11.34. It is four cases from this consignment which were stolen. The selling price is quoted by the Accounts and Stores Department, Public Works Department, as being $2.42 per hundred, $242.00 per case and $968.00 for the four cases. I am waiting to confirm this before circulating. \n\nEach of the cases contained 10,000 detonators done up in 20 packets of 5 tins, each tin containing 100 each, i.e. 500 in a packet or 400 tins in all. The case itself is made of wood and is very well made. It consists of an outside case fitted with a lid screwed down by 10 brass screws, an inside case also fitted with a lid screwed down by four screws. The packets themselves are packed between a plentiful supply of sawdust to allay any risk of jars or jolts likely to cause an explosion. The tins are black in colour, size 3\" x 3\" x 11\" and are marked in white lettering NOBEL No.3 100 dynamite detonators, Thistle Brand, Glasgow. \n\nPage 9\nPage 9\n- 2 -\n\nNo.5 Magazine has only one door, this is fitted as are the other four magazines, with four locks, two on the grille doors and two in the wooden door. From examination the locks nor doors showed no signs of having been tampered with. The back of No.5 Magazine which is one yard from the abrupt rocky hillside has two windows which are fitted with double iron bars * in diameter. There are 7 bars on the inside and 8 on the outside and are built so that the outside bars come between the inside ones. The space between the bars of both rows is 31\" but with there being two rows as mentioned above the actual space between them is 13\". The rows are approximately 2\" apart. \n\nThe third bars of the inside and outside rows of the south east window at the back of No.5 Magazine had been cut through with a hack saw close to the bottom and the bar on the outside forced outwards and upwards and that on the inside, inwards and upwards. Inside the bars is a window which opens inwards in two halves and which is fastened with an iron bolt top and bottom centre. Each half of the window has five panes of glazed glass. The second pane up on the right half of the window from the outside was broken, and by inserting an arm from the outside both top and bottom bolts could be drawn, although they were rather stiff. The gap made by removing the bars is 72\n\nMr. W.H. Bailey the European in charge of the depot was issuing from No.5 Magazine at 12.45 hours on 3.8.35. and he himself locked the magazine after issuing. At 13.00 hours on 3.8.35 he finished duty for the week-end. The remainder of that day he was in his quarters on the Island. The following day 4.8.35 he went off the Island and returned at 20.40 hours the same night. \n\nPage 10\nPage 10\n- 3 -\n\nThe larceny was discovered at 18.00 hours on 4.8.35 by two Harbour Office Department seamen attached to the depot for duty. Every evening at about 18.00 hours these same two seamen water the vegetable garden at the back of the magazines and it was while drawing water from the south east back corner of No.5 Magazine that they noticed the bar of the window sticking out and saw on investigating that the magazine had been entered. The names of the two seamen are LAM CHU, 33 years, and LEUNG YING, 33 years. They reported to the Special Guard on duty No.35 Abdul Rahman who in turn reported to A.L.S.B. 324 FAZAL MOHAMED, Mr. Bailey was expected back at 18.30 hours so no immediate report was made to the Police. When Mr. Bailey did not return a/L.S.B. 324 rang up the Water Police Station and made a report, this was at about 19.30 hours. Det. L.S.A.183 Davies went out to Green Island and made enquiries soon after the report was made and on his return to station a message was circulated to harbour and cruising launches to be on the look out. \n\nOn 5.8.35 I went to Green Island at 09.15 hours and carried out a close examination of the premises, searched Chinese seamen and Indians quarters, huts on Little Green Island and several sampans. It was discovered that five workmen employed by the KIN LEE Building Contractors had been working on a water channel near the South East corner of the back of No.5 magazine. I found these workmen still working on the Island at the European Officers quarters. I took them back to the Water Police Station for interrogation. On the way back the sampan which conveyed these men ashore from Green Island on Sunday afternoon 4.8.35 at about 16.15 hours, was located and searched without result. Master of the sampan was brought to the Water Police Station at 09.00 on 6.8.35 and closely questioned without result. \n\nThere are two very peculiar features of this case which are very puzzling. One is why only Public Works Department detonators were taken and the other is that, out of the 136 cases in the magazine, 7 were open with the lids placed on top, issues \n\nPage 11",

        "content_text": "Enclosure No.2.\n\nHon. Colonial Secretary.\n\nFurther inquiries into this larceny show that probably the outer bar on the window was cut the day before the inner bar was cut. It has also been discovered that a workman employed by the Kin Lee Building Contractor saw the broken bars at 13.15 hours on 4th instant and saw the three wooden lids from the boxes which had contained the detonators lying on the ground. The larceny was very probably committed by three or four men and it is difficult to believe that the seamen on the Island are not implicated. Inquiries are proceeding.\n\n2. With regard to the conduct of the Police Sergeant and the Guards on Green Island, they maintain that they patrolled the premises at intervals. Acting Lance Sergeant B.324 Fazal Mohamed however did not observe the box lids lying on the ground during his tour of duty from 10.00 hours to 14.00 hours on 4th instant, and his case is being dealt with.\n\n3. As far as I can ascertain Mr. Bailey, the custodian, is under the impression that he has received no instructions to examine the bars and door fastenings and that it is not his duty to do so. It would be a useful safeguard if he did examine all fastenings daily - perhaps morning and evening.\n\n4. With regard to the keys of the magazines Mr. Bailey states that \"during working hours the keys to the magazines are kept in the office hanging on the wall\", and that \"The Yale locks in the wooden doors and the ordinary lock in the iron gates are not kept locked during working hours, therefore the doors and gates are only locked with one key each instead of two\". The keys being left in the office are thus accessible to the Chinese seamen on the island which I think is not entirely satisfactory.\n\n5.

        "content_text": "# Buildings\n\nCarefully disinfect, under the direction of a veterinary surgeon, the buildings in which the clean cattle will be housed. It is very desirable to segregate infected cattle in different buildings, if possible. If this is absolutely impossible, have a movable partition made of sheets of corrugated iron fixed on a wooden frame. It should be as high as possible. As the number of infected cows decreases, the partition can be moved along and the vacated stalls disinfected. There should be no door through the partition. The drainage should run from the clean cows past the infected, never vice versa. The same applies, of course, to the water supply.\n\nIt is essential for the non-reactors to be never allowed to drink water which can have been contaminated by any possibility by the reactors.\n\n## Calving infected cattle\n\nWhen a reacting cow or heifer calves, it should be arranged for the calf to be delivered direct on to a clean cloth or sheet and removed at once. It should be kept from all contact with its mother and from the soiled litter of her box. If the herd owner has had a non-reacting cow calve within 4 days, before or after, the calf from the reactor should be given some of the colostrum from that non-reacting cow in order that it may not miss entirely the natural aid to resistance to disease, especially of the alimentary tract, which it should have acquired through its own mother's first milk.\n\n## Rearing of calves\n\nIt cannot be impressed too strongly on herd owners the importance of rearing calves and young stock in airy and sunny surroundings, with ample nourishment and a clean dry bed. They are then much more likely to be resistant to any chance infection of tuberculosis or any other disease. They should never be given any milk from the reacting cows. If possible, the men attending the reactors should have nothing to do with the non-reactors and young stock. If this is impossible, then they should always milk and tend the reactors last.\n\nCare must be taken that calves are not fed on skim milk or whey from creameries and cheese factories, as, being from bulked milk, it is almost certain to contain tuberculosis.\n\n## Care of cattle at grass\n\nIt is essential that non-reactors should not be turned into fields recently used by reactors. In taking any steps to eradicate either tuberculosis, Johne's disease or abortion, it is of the first importance that animals should be prevented from contaminating the ponds and streams from which they drink with their fæces and urine. The water should be so fenced off that the cattle can only get their heads to it, or else the water pumped out into a tank. This applies especially to stagnant ponds. Owners should guard against infection from running water which may have come through an infected area. If the boundary fences are weak, or of such a nature as not to prevent contact with a neighbour's cattle, a second fence should be provided. A two-strand wire fence, under which sheep can go, at least 6 feet from main fence, is sufficient.\n\n## Importance of care\n\nThe above precautions may seem tiresome and expensive, but they are not nearly so much so as a reinfection after a herd has been nearly or completely cleared. To succeed (an even seriously infected herd can be cleared in 3 years), it is necessary to carry out the above instructions rigidly.\n\n## Disposal of reactors\n\nIf reactors are rigidly segregated from the clean cattle, there is no necessity to dispose of them, but in the case of cattle of no particular value to the herd it is much wiser to do so, as there is always the possibility of the disease becoming acute and of their becoming wasters.\n\nThe recommendations in this scheme have been drawn up with the best possible veterinary advice.\n\n## APPENDIX 13\n\n### Human and cow population and rateable value in Great Britain\n\n#### (a) Human and cow population and rateable value by counties in England and Wales\n\n| Administrative County.

        "content_text": "# [4th witness Li Mun.] \n— 14 — \n\n313. Was it licensed anywhere else besides being licensed in Hong Kong? No, nowhere else.\n\n314. How long have you owned that junk? It was over ten years ago since I bought it.\n\n315. What do you reckon its value was in September of this year? About $10,000.\n\n316. Tell me which place you consider to be your home port? Shaukiwan.\n\n317. Do you remember sailing from Shaukiwan in September? Yes.\n\n318. What date? On the 19th September my junk sailed from Shaukiwan.\n\n319. Was there another junk with yours when you sailed from Shaukiwan? Yes.\n\n320. Whose junk was that? The other junk formed the pair and was owned by Ying-kit, I don't know his surname.\n\n321. Where did you go from Shaukiwan? Our pair went out to catch fish somewhere off Chelong lighthouse.\n\n322. On what date did you arrive there? On the 22nd September we were there.\n\n323. What day did you arrive there? I arrived on the 21st September.\n\n324. In the daytime could you see the lighthouse? No; but we saw the light at night.\n\n325. On the morning of the 22nd did you start fishing in this place? Yes.\n\n326. Who were you fishing with? With Ying-kit's junk.\n\n327. Were there any other junks near you that morning? Yes.\n\n328. How many? 10 junks excluding us.\n\n329. Were they also fishing in pairs like you were? Yes.\n\n330. Do you know the names of the masters of these other junks? No, I don't know the names of the masters of these other junks.\n\n331. Do you know a man called Lam Fuk-tai? No.\n\n332. Do you know a man by the name of Shek Kai-cheung? No.\n\n333. You were fishing there that morning - what sort of weather was it? Fine weather, calm day with sunshine.\n\n334. Good fishing weather? Yes, quite suitable.\n\n335. What time did you start fishing that morning? At daybreak - about 6 a.m.\n\n336. Did you notice anything unusual whilst you were fishing that morning? Whilst fishing we noticed a submarine about 9 a.m. She sailed towards us.\n\n337. Where were you when you noticed the submarine? We were somewhere off Chelong lighthouse.\n\n338. Where were you personally standing on your junk? I was at the stern when I saw this submarine.\n\n339. Why do you call it a submarine? Because she submerged to a very great extent under the water - that is why I call it a submarine.\n\n340. Chairman: You mean when you first saw her? Yes, when I first saw her she was much submerged.\n\n341. Mr. Whyatt: Describe to me that part of the submarine which was not submerged. Only the castle or fortress (conning tower). I saw that castle, and when it was near enough to fire we were hit.\n\n342. The castle you mention, whereabouts was it - was that in the front or in the stern? Amidships.\n\n343. Describe the rest of that vessel. You have described the castle being amidships. I could not see either the bow or the stern because they were submerged - I only saw that little castle.\n\n344. How far was it when you saw that little castle amidships? As far as from here to Yaumati* when I first saw it.\n* A distance of about 1 mile.\n\n— 15 —\n\n345. Did it come nearer to your junk? Yes, nearer and nearer.\n\n346. How near did it come to your junk? As far as from the witness box to the back door of the court - about the length of this room.\n\n347. Before it came as close as that, did you see it doing anything to the other junks? I did not see that.\n\n348. Did you hear anything before it came as near as that to you? I heard nothing.\n\n349. Is your hearing normal? Yes, I am not deaf.\n\n350. The submarine came quite near to you - what did she do? We all got frightened and we went inside the hold.\n\n351. Why were you frightened? Because this sort of submarine we have heard fired at fishing junks and burned them afterwards - therefore we got frightened.\n\n352. You went down to the hold you say, did you hear anything after that? Gunfire.\n\n353. Did anything happen to your junk after you heard that gunfire? The first shot that hit our junk sent the bows of the boat down.\n\n354. Chairman: You mean that the junk sank by the bow? Yes.\n\n355. Mr. Whyatt: After that first shot was fired were there any other shots fired? A second shot hit the junk amidships.\n\n356. And was there any other shot after that? Yes, a third shot was fired and hit the stern.\n\n357. And what did it do when it hit the stern? The junk was sunk after the third shot and I and the others came on to the deck and went on the mainsail.\n\n358. Where was your wife when the third shot was fired? She was inside the cabin.\n\n359. Whereabouts is that? In the stern.\n\n360. She was in the stern cabin - was anyone else in the stern cabin with her? No one else other than my wife was inside this stern cabin but I was standing at the door of this cabin.\n\n361. What happened to your wife when the third shot was fired? She was killed together with other three.\n\n362. Who were the other three? Those other three were my daughters.\n\n363. Where were they when they were killed? Inside the same cabin with my wife.\n\n364. Tell me the ages of these three daughters. 2, 6 and 8.\n\n365. Did you look into the cabin after the third shell had struck your junk? After the third shell I looked into the cabin and I saw they were all dead.\n\n366. Apart from their dead bodies what did the rest of the cabin look like? There was a big hole in the cabin and then the junk went down.\n\nSitting adjourned at 12.40 p.m.\n\nResumed at 2.30 p.m.\n\n367. Li Mun on former declaration (continued).\n\n368. Mr. Whyatt: Li Mun, when the court adjourned you told us that the third shot had been fired at your junk and your junk was then in a sinking condition? Quite correct.\n\n369. After the third shot was fired did you see where the submarine went? It went in an easterly direction.\n\n370. Did it go towards any of the other junks? Yes.\n\n371. Which junk? I don't know.\n\n372. Did you notice anything about this submarine apart from what you have described as its colour and what you have called the castle? I saw some men standing on this castle.\n\n373. Tell me, could you describe what they looked like? They were in uniform.\n\n— 213 —",

The worst typhoon in over 36 years passed over Cheungchau last night, raging from 11.30 p.m. to 6 a.m. There are undoubtedly many deaths among the natives, and hundreds of houses have been destroyed.\n\nThe wind seemed to be most severe between 2.30 and 5 a.m., and it left destruction and havoc on every hand. Even houses that appeared strong were damaged. Walls fell, windows and doors were carried long distances, and destruction is seen everywhere. One European was holding a window in his hand when it broke in two pieces and flew away like two birds.\n\nThere were several bags of mails on board the s.s. Kwangchow, vessel chartered by the Navy for Shanghai, carrying naval stores, which went aground at South Lamma Island in the typhoon. It is understood that a naval tug has taken off the important cargo, and the Yochow is now taking the naval stores north.\n\nThe steamer Hunan, aground off Ping Chau, has incoming mail on board which was brought in during the day.\n\nAT THE AIRPORT\n\nPan-American Terminus Building Gone\n\nHANGAR EQUIPMENT\n\nPan-American Airways were the chief sufferers from the typhoon at Kai Tak. Their newly built marine terminal and two pontoons have completely disappeared.\n\nFortunately, the Snuggs family, who were living in the house owned by Mr. G. W. Greene, escaped from the house during a lull in the storm. One room occupied by guests was completely destroyed on the west side of the house, and much damage was done to the roof. There was no-one injured, though the loss is considerable.\n\nMany of the houses were damaged in the reservation; very few passed through without losing a door or window. The force of the wind beat the rain into the houses and caused much discomfort and inconvenience to those who were trying to protect their houses from the storm. Much rain fell, and thousands of trees were damaged. The pine trees were stripped of their needles, and many limbs were broken off.\n\nThe main hangar has lost part of the roof, while a recently installed and very expensive landing light was blown to pieces. Most of this damage is believed to have been caused by the steel wireless masts, which broke loose and were lashed about in the wind.\n\nOnly one aeroplane was damaged, a Flying Training School Avro-Cadet, which was cut by glass.\n\nFANLING\n\nEFFECTS\n\nNews for Week-End Golfers. House No. 11 and also No. 20 had windows blown off. Others were slightly damaged.\n\nMore Encouraging\n\nThroughout the village, there are the remains of houses to be seen in every direction. Many boats, large and small, were destroyed. Some boats were sunk in the harbour, others were dashed to pieces on the rocks near the beach. The extent of the loss is hard to estimate at this early hour. Many are homeless and penniless.\n\nThe kitchen chimney of the Men's Club was blown down, and some of the roof was ripped up. The roof of the \"half-way house\" and the matshed starting box at the half-way house on the New Course have gone, but the courses are not damaged. Hundreds of trees fell, and the electric lighting and the telephone failed near the shore where the European Residents' bungalow verandah was blown, and the foundation undermined.\n\nThe Taipo Road is badly damaged, the level crossing and the bridge at Taipo have been washed away.\n\nThe refugees who have recently escaped from the war are wondering which is more dangerous, bombs or a typhoon. It is indeed fortunate that no Europeans have been injured in this terrible storm.—Our Correspondent.\n\nIf any golfer wants meals over the week-end and notifies the Club office to-day (Saturday), arrangements will be made to provide as well as possible, though ice may or may not be available.\n\nOther Courses\n\nAll but two holes are playable on the Happy Valley Course, and the Club House weathered the storm with very little damage.\n\nAt Deep Water Bay, considerable damage to the roof of the main room upstairs. The bridge in front of the fourth tee suffered, and may not be playable for everyone. Matshed shelters have, of course, disappeared.\n\nA passenger on the Conte Verde described the typhoon as \"terrible.\"\n\n\"We were anchored in Kowloon Bay,\" he said, \"and the wind grew steadily worse. When the wind was at its height, the British ship Talamba broke from her moorings and bore down on the Conte Verde, striking her bows, slightly damaging them and also breaking the anchor chains. The Conte Verde then put on every ounce of steam available but still was driven backwards, and finally she gradually ran stern first onto the sand. At present, she is lying in about ten feet of water, her stern firmly embedded.\"\n\nCANTON\n\nTELEPHONE\n\nDifficult Work in Restoring\n\nRepairs to the Hongkong-Canton Trunk Telephone cable have been proceeding night and day since the fault was first discovered. Approximately 400 yards of cable have been used in replacing the sections where bridges were washed away or severely damaged. It was hoped to have the service restored by 8 p.m. yesterday.\n\nRegarding the local telephone service, nearly 1,000 faulty lines have been cleared, and work is proceeding as speedily as possible. Outlying districts will be worked on in most cases to-day, and by Sunday, the majority of lines will be restored to service.\n\nSUFFOLK DAMAGED\n\nNaval Chartered Ship With Supplies\n\nIt is learned that H.M.S. Suffolk will have to go into drydock to repair the damage received to her bows when she was struck by ships which had broken loose and drifted helplessly down the harbour during the typhoon.\n\nPage 37",

B. Fawcett (London) delivered the Presidential Address on \"The Changing Distribution of Population.\" At the beginning of the twentieth century Levasseur made a study of distribution of the world's population, calculating the proportions living north of the northern tropic, south of the southern tropic, and in the tropics, and ignoring the polar lands.\n\nThe outstanding facts were that 74 per cent. of the world's human inhabitants (now 75 per cent.) lived north of the tropic of Cancer, on 50 per cent. of the world's land area, a mean density of sixty persons per square mile; while only 14 per cent. of the world's population in 1907 lived on the 9·3 per cent. of the world's land area south of the tropic of Capricorn, at a mean density of thirteen persons per square mile. This proportion in the southern hemisphere had, however, doubled in the last thirty years, and now amounts to 2·8 per cent. of the total.\n\nOf particular interest was the belt of deserts extending from the Sahara to north-east Siberia. It was this great \"divide\" of empty lands, interrupted only by a few oases and occupied by widely scattered and nomadic peoples, which held apart the civilizations of the East and the West during all the ages of human history before da Gama's voyage to India in 1497.\n\nThe net effect of the great migrations of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries had been to add a fourth to the major populous regions and then to increase the absolute and relative numbers of the peoples within those regions. They had not tended to spread population more evenly over the earth or to fill up the great open spaces, but only to accentuate the crowding of mankind into the already populous lands.\n\nProfessor Fawcett dealt very fully with the marked and growing concentration of populations in the urban areas and great cities of the world. This drift to the towns, he said, was universal in the countries affected by modern Western civilization. Between 1921 and 1931 the proportional increase in the London area was more than double the rate of increase for Great Britain. Some other great \"conurbations\" grew even more rapidly, though none had a greater absolute increase. The number of these \"million-cities\" and of their inhabitants was increasing, so that in two or three generations, if the tendency was not checked, a majority of mankind might be found living in from 200 to 300 such conurbations.\n\nNature Takes a Hand.\n\nSix thousand more babies were born in England and Wales in the second quarter of this year. Is one to assume that Nature herself has taken alarm at the statisticians' recent prophecies of a Britain of only five million inhabitants in a hundred years' time, and is embarking on a campaign of counter-offensive?\n\n(Continued from p. 27.)\n\nany time to appear as an address for receiving communications on behalf of a society advocating the practice of birth control. Where, however, the Governor of another Colony included a reference to the subject in a speech delivered after the locally elected Legislature had made provision in its estimates for birth control clinics the Colonial Office did not consider that it would be justified in interfering.\n\n44\n46\nOctober, 1937",

A blush of shame comes to my cheeks when I am told that I belong to a nation that denies democracy to the people of Newfoundland and puts a small agricultural and fishing community under the heel of four or five financial dictators because the interest was not forthcoming to the Park Lane parasites. Somebody said that certain rich people in Germany and in this country have Fascist tendencies. All rich men have Fascist tendencies. They are prepared to tolerate democracy as long as their interest is paid regularly, but if their interest, their profit or their rent is menaced, then democracy is an illusion and has to be smashed in order to protect that which is dear to their hearts.\n\nWe are told that we must prepare for war. I say to certain Members of the House, not in an unfriendly way, that if they believe in an Empire and are prepared to defend it, the way to defend it is to get guns, to get planes, to get the men. It means embracing conscription and doing away with working-class rights. If I believed that it was in defence of the nation and our freedom, I would be prepared even to hand away my individual liberty, because anything would be justified for that end. I come now to the crux of the situation—the struggle between two sections, Hitler and Mussolini, and France and Great Britain. One hon. Member said that he would not hand away any colonial territory to Hitler. Some hon. Members talked about democracy and plebiscites for Sudeten Germans.\n\nDo they believe in extending that democracy to India? You could not hold India if you applied to it the self-determination of Munich. You could not hold Africa if you allowed the natives to determine whether they would be in or out of the Empire. These glib phrases about democracy are easily used when they suit the purpose of those who use them.\n\nIn the struggle between these two sections, we are told that we must put up a fight for democracy. I believe in peace, but I would put up a fight for democracy. There are people in Germany who, if they had a decent opportunity, would put up a fight for it in Germany, just as there are people who would do so in Trinidad and India. I have met some of those people in Germany. They are no lovers of Hitler. During the time I was in Germany and in Vienna, there had been two strikes at factories two weeks previously. At every street corner in a working-class area, there was chalked up this inscription: \"Nazis, remember that Socialists are still here.\" The Nazi reply was put under it: \"Socialists, where are you?\" Two days elapsed, and then again there were inscriptions: \"Nazis, the Socialists are just under you.\" That is the spirit which still lives there, and that is the spirit which animates the working classes all over the world.\n\nI am told that there are good rulers and bad rulers. That is a new philosophy to me. I believe there are only bad rulers. It is a question of the degree of the crisis under capitalism. If the workers here were surging in the streets, if there were an economic crisis and it threw up a real Socialist opposition of almost equal numbers to the Government of this country, the ruling classes would say \"Democracy is ended.\" They would say that because democracy would be about to begin, and a working-class democracy would be coming in. Then the guns, batons, bombs, and tear gas that are always in the background would be brought out in the struggle, as in Spain, to suppress the workers in the street. I can imagine the hon. Gentleman at the Box going out and saying, \"We are now engaged in a fight for Christianity in this country—a new name for rent, profit, and interest.\" The struggle would be on that. The ruling class gives rein to the workers when capitalism is working smoothly. It allows the rein to hang loosely; it can extend the amount of freedom; but when a crisis comes, the rein is tightened, the individual feels the bit in his mouth, the rein is shortened. That is the beginning of the end of the struggle. There is no difference between Hitler and the rulers of this country.\n\nIf I believed in capitalism, I would favour the Hitler method. It is the more efficient form of capitalism. But Hitler restricts profits to 6 per cent. in industries in Germany. A.R.P. people there do not get the chance of running up sandbags at ten times the cost. They are not allowed to play fast and loose. The hon. Member for East Aberdeen (Mr. Boothby) condemns Hitler's method but, in my estimation, he approves of the Hitler method and, without having the courage to say so, is suggesting that we must adopt the Hitler method in order to fight it. I can conceive of a great struggle for democracy. I can imagine going into such a struggle and within one week finding ourselves under a military dictatorship organised against Hitler. If I believed in capitalism, I would believe in organising this State to the last man and woman in defence of capitalism and the Empire. The Fred Karno method is not going to carry you through in the next struggle. I have heard it said, \"We do not dream of putting millions of men into the field.\" Whose men do you intend to use? Are you going to use the French soldiers? Are you going to use the blacks of Africa and the Gurkhas of India?\n\nWe are for using the working class to enforce peace and not to fight in a war. Because we advocate that, when the Prime Minister makes peace, when the Prime Minister does exactly what we wanted done, though he acted from different motives from ours, nevertheless, we welcome the fact that peace has been secured. It gives the working class a breathing space, in which they may try to profit by the experience of the past. We do not want to indulge in mock heroics about going out into the streets to overthrow the system. We say to the ruling class of this country that our method is the method of getting the people of the country converted to the necessity for change. If we get a mandate, in co-operation with others, to effect that change, and if the ruling class do what they did in Franco Spain and say, \"You shall not have that change,\" then the struggle will be forced upon us, and we have democrats who are prepared to see democracy carried to its logical conclusion, when the people themselves are prepared to do it.\n\nTherefore, it is not a question of pacifism. It is, if you like, a refusal to serve in a capitalist war, but in the last extremity, there are people who are prepared to serve in the working-class struggle for power, if it is backed by the will of the people of this country. I say frankly that if a fight for Czechoslovakia would have been right, then the fight for Belgium was right. It would have been the same struggle. That was a struggle... \"Down with the Kaiser.\" That was the excuse. It was a struggle to smash German militarism. It was a struggle for small nations. We opposed it, and a large number of people in the Labour Party opposed it.\n\nWhat do we find to-day? When I came over from Germany, I stood in Whitehall and I heard a shout of \"Stand by Czechoslovakia.\" I am always sorry to see any form of brutality against any section of the working classes, but when you say \"Stand by Czechoslovakia,\" what does it mean? If there had been war over Czechoslovakia, there would have been no Czechoslovakia to-day. It would have been overrun. The Czechs would have been murdered. Even if those who shouted \"Stand by Czechoslovakia\" had been willing to join the British Army, there would have been no Czechs left by the time they had been trained.\n\nI saw the other day a statement by the Minister of Health, and he has danced a lot since, in trying to explain it away, about armaments and social services, but he will never convince me that the question of curtailing housing and health and pensions and other social services was not discussed in the Government. You have a situation to-day in which capitalism has robbed the worker of the wealth which he produced, and the capitalists, not being able to use that wealth for their own personal needs, have invested it in India and Africa, and Hitler says, \"I am for a share in this swag and this exploitation.\" Then the capitalists say to the man whom they have robbed, whose unpaid wages they have invested, \"We will take your son who is on the means test and throw him out on to the Continent to give his blood and his life in order to defend the loot which we have stolen from his father and his grandfather.\" Further, in order to conduct this struggle, we will take your old age pension or part of it to finance the struggle in defence of our bondholding interests.\" That is the stage which we have reached. Well, I am not in that struggle.\n\nThe hon. Member for East Aberdeen talked about the pacifist speech made by my hon. Friend the Member for Bridgeton (Mr. Maxton). I interrupted at the time and tried to explain. That was not a pacifist speech. We want peace and we are prepared to ask the working class...",

If times were normal it is possible that a grant from the Colonial Development Fund might be made available for this purpose; such a grant can hardly be expected in present circumstances but it is felt that the need for this Station is so pressing that funds should be provided from local sources if the financial position permits. Accordingly, a sum of $150,000 is provided under Head 30, Public Works Extraordinary, for the erection and equipment of the Station buildings and since the Station will be under the general supervision of the Superintendent of the Botanical and Forestry Department, who has already been gazetted as Agricultural Adviser for the Colony, it is fitting that provision be made under Head 4 for the personnel and maintenance of the Station. The Station will be in the direct charge of a European Agricultural Officer who, it is proposed, will be recruited from another Colony; the salary scale suggested for this post is that obtaining for similar posts in the African Colonies. One of the most important problems of the moment is to what extent human nightsoil and other waste matters from the urban area can first be rendered harmless from the point of view of public health and then distributed to the farmers of the New Territories as fertilizer; the recent researches of Mr. G. S. Kennedy-Skipton have shown that this matter is worth pursuing and as a first step, on the recommendation of the Government's Agricultural Adviser, a sum of $60,000 is provided under Sub-head 14, Experimental Disposal of Nightsoil in New Territories, for further practical experiments in this direction.\n\n## HEAD 5. CHARITABLE SERVICES.\n\n### SUB-HEAD 3.—It is proposed to increase the grant to the Chinese Public Dispensaries from $30,000 to $40,000 per annum. These institutions continue to do excellent work in spite of falling subscriptions from the public; it is considered that they should be encouraged by an increased grant to carry on and so relieve the pressure on the Tung Wah and Government Hospitals.\n\n### SUB-HEAD 11.-The number of inmates of the Po Leung Kuk has greatly increased since the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese hostilities in 1937 and the influx of refugees, and the Committee finds that its income from subscriptions and other sources is insufficient to meet expenditure. Since all women and children in the Kuk are sent there by the Secretariat for Chinese Affairs or the Police, it is fitting that Government should increase its annual grant from $10,000 to $15,000.\n\n### SUB-HEAD 17.--Hitherto, the monies confiscated by the Magistrates as a result of Police raids on gambling establishments, etc., have been paid into a Poor Box Fund which has not been brought to account as Revenue but has remained for disposal at the discretion of the Magistrates to deserving cases. As a result of representations by the Auditor, it is now proposed to regularize the position by crediting all receipts to Revenue and placing a sum of money, tentatively fixed at $5,000 per annum, at the disposal of the Magistrates for charitable disbursements. The discretion of the Magistrates will not, of course, be interfered with.\n\n### SUB-HEAD 18.-On the recommendation of the Commissioner of Prisons and the Director of Medical Services, it is proposed to establish during the current financial year 1940-41 a Camp for Male Juvenile Offenders within the bounds of the Refugee Camp at Kam Tin in the New Territories. As an experiment, certain boys who are not confirmed criminals will be sent to this Camp for a period of at least six months instead of to the Reformatory (Remand Home).\n\n### SUB-HEAD 22.-The amount provided is based on the actual expenditure for the first eight months of the current financial year.\n\nPage 401",

There was also a school for Chinese and various bungalows for the prison officials. The 3000 people were poured into these buildings and there was discomfort rampant. In the British block there were in some rooms four married couples and maybe a baby or two. The rooms were not large and you can imagine the discomfort that the people were subjected to. In a flat built for a small family of two or three there were at times as many as fifty people. They had to sleep and eat and wash and rest and relax all in this tiny place. Fortunately the place itself is beautiful and in good weather we could walk around the grounds which were very extensive. Marguerite and George were lucky they were in one of the cottages and they had a tiny room that was a sort of box room before, but it was theirs and they could go in and close the door and be alone together. George is so clever that he has rigged up all sorts of gadgets, such as a folding table that is attached to the wall between their beds, a small electric stove and the like. They seem to be very happy to be together and are making the best of the situation. The food was really very bad in the winter time and we all were hungry, but it has improved and there now is an allowance of flour and the various units are baking their own bread. Marguerite has quite a bit of money with her and since they have been able to buy food they have been able to supplement their diet a bit. Unfortunately we were left at the mercy of the Chinese and Japanese men who bought the things in town as to what was for sale in the canteen. Our staple food was rice, then they usually sent meat and some sort of vegetable. There was only enough for two meals a day. Most of us had ample tea and we saved our bread and had a light breakfast that way.\n\nYou are probably wondering why Marguerite is not on this ship with me. Well as this ship was only for Americans and George would not have been able to come with her, she chose to stay with him. I do not blame her at all. It would be awful to go off and leave your husband behind. I am sure that it won't be long before all the civilians are taken away from there. It is too hard for the Japs to feed people there and they have all the military to look after as well.\n\nMy husband was a volunteer and is interned with all the\n\nPage 140",

        "content_text": "## Head 4. Charitable Services \n\nThe grant to the Babies Home, Fanling, has been increased to $5,000 in view of the valuable work being carried out by that Institution.\n\nThe grant to the Leper Asylum at Sheklung has been increased by $49,000 as this Institution cannot continue to maintain lepers from Hong Kong at the present rate of $1.00 per head per day. It has been necessary to increase the maintenance allowance to $55.00 per head per month and provision has been made for an increased number of lepers.\n\nSub-head 17, \"Magistrates Poor Box\" is self-balancing and receipts are expected to reach the figure of $15,000. No provision has been included for passages and relief of destitutes as this will be provided for under the Relief Vote and to some extent under \"Magistrates Poor Box\".\n\nThe grant to the Mercantile Marine Assistance Fund has been reduced by $5,000 as the sum of $10,000 is considered sufficient to meet probable requirements. The net increase on the whole Head is $35,115.\n\n## Head 5. Development Secretariat\n\n### A. Directorate\n\n#### Personal Emoluments\n\nThe staff has been increased by the creation of four new temporary posts, a stenographer to assist with the work for the ten-year development programme, a librarian to deal with the large quantities of books, technical journals, etc. received by the Department, an \n\n9 \n\nminimum basic monthly scale of $70. Provision has been made for acting pay for the Senior Assistant Auditor and one Assistant Auditor in anticipation of the retirement during the year of the present holder of the post of Auditor. The increase is $9,744.\n\n### Other Charges \n\n| Category | Amount |\n| --- | --- |\n| Upkeep of Motor Vehicles | $750 |\n| Newspapers and Periodicals | $120 |\n| Fuel, Light and Power | $1,200 |\n| Uniforms | $700 |\n| Cleaning of Offices | $120 |\n\nUpkeep of Motor Vehicles ($750) and Newspapers and Periodicals ($120) are now provided for departmentally. Fuel, Light and Power ($1,200) and Uniforms ($700) were omitted from the 1946/47 Estimates and were provided for by Special warrants. Cleaning of Offices ($120) is now shown separately. Rent of Offices covers a twelve-month period and Travelling Expenses show a reduction of $200 over the combined provisions last year.\n\n$13,232.\n\nThe net increase is $3,488.\n\nTotal Recurrent Expenditure has increased by \n\nPage 97",

The list is prepared in two parts:-\n\n(a) Misallocations affecting the Accountant General's Accounts,\n\n(b) Misallocations affecting the manner in which the Accountant General's Accounts are classified in the published statements, which include the misclassifications referred to at paragraphs 71 and 108 of this report. In the case of the misclassifications referred to in paragraph 108, the Legislative Council approved the Statement of Loan Expenditure to be charged as an Advance pending the raising of the loan after the Accountant General's accounts for the period 1946/47 had been closed. The misclassifications do not therefore fall to be admitted by the Accountant General.\n\nTHE ASSESSMENT AND COLLECTION OF REVENUE\n\n29. Subject to the observations made in this report, the systems employed for the collection of revenue proved satisfactory and moneys due to Government were promptly and efficiently collected.\n\n30. Magistrates' Poor Box Receipts. With reference to paragraph 85 of the Auditor's Report on the Accounts of the Colony for 1939, the question of the paying into revenue of \"Poor Box\" receipts was again brought to the notice of Government by this Department, and it was agreed that all such receipts would be credited to revenue and any payments that had formerly been made from \"Poor Box\" funds would in future be charged to an expenditure head. As from 1st May, 1946, therefore, receipts on this account have been credited to Revenue Head 4 Licences (B) Fines etc. Poor Box, and the expenditure charged to Head 5 Charitable Services Subhead 21 Magistrates Poor Box.\n\n31. Requisitioning of Hotels. On the reoccupation of the Colony the principal Hotels were requisitioned by the British Military Administration and these remained under Government control until the 16th June, 1946, when they were derequisitioned. In accordance with the handing over arrangements made for the transfer of the Military to the Civil Administration referred to in paragraph 2 of this report, the latter assumed responsibility for unsettled debts and the collection of outstanding revenue in respect of these hotels. After considerable correspondence and negotiation, revenue collected in respect of the period up to the 15th June, 1946, was paid over to Government, but the sum of $4,945.17, being the amount of unpaid hotel bills owing by former residents, remains outstanding and the matter is being kept in view. Audit examination of the hotel revenue accounts revealed that the arrangements for the collection of hotel charges were either ineffective or were not energetically applied. This resulted not only in loss of revenue payable to the Military Government but also to the Civil Administration and the matter was brought to the notice of the Accountant General.\n\n32. Chinese Government Telecommunication Administration. It came to the notice of this Department that this organization was functioning as a separate company in the Colony and enquiries were made as to whether royalties were being paid on its income. The enquiries revealed that, although the Company had been operating since the year 1884, royalties had never been paid as no working agreement appeared to have been drawn up.\n\nThe matter is under consideration by Government and is being kept in view.\n\nPage 6. 38",

The list is prepared in two parts :-\n\n(a) Misallocations affecting the Accountant General's Accounts, (b) Misallocations affecting the manner in which the Accountant General's Accounts are classified in the published statements, which include the misclassifications referred to at paragraphs 71 and 108 of this report. In the case of the misclassifications referred to in paragraph 108, the Legislative Council approved the statement of Loan Expenditure to be charged as an Advance pending the raising of the loan after the Accountant General's accounts for the period 1946/47 had been closed. The misclassifications do not therefore fall to be admitted by the Accountant General.\n\n29.\n\nTHE ASSESSMENT AND COLLECTION OF REVENUE.\n\nSubject to the observations made in this report, the systems employed for the collection of revenue proved satisfactory and moneys due to Government were promptly and efficiently collected.\n\n30.\n\nMagistrates' Poor Box Receipts. With reference to paragraph 85 of the Auditor's Report on the Accounts of the Colony for 1939, the question of the paying into revenue of \"Poor Box\" receipts was again brought to the notice of Government by this Department, and it was agreed that all such receipts would be credited to revenue and any payments that had formerly been made from \"Poor Box\" funds would in future be charged to an expenditure head. As from 1st May, 1946, therefore, receipts on this account have been credited to Revenue Head 4 Licences (B) Fines etc. Poor Box, and the expenditure charged to Head 5 Charitable Services Subhead 21 Magistrates Poor Box.\n\n31.\n\nRequisitioning of Hotels.\n\nOn the reoccupation of the Colony the principal Hotels were requisitioned by the British Military Administration and these remained under Government control until the 16th June, 1946, when they were derequisitioned. In accordance with the handing over arrangements made for the transfer of the Military to the Civil Administration referred to in paragraph 2 of this report, the latter assumed responsibility for unsettled debts and the collection of outstanding revenue in respect of these hotels. After considerable correspondence and negotiation, revenue collected in respect of the period up to the 15th June, 1946, was paid over to Government, but the sum of $4,945.17, being the amount of unpaid hotel bills owing by former residents, remains outstanding and the matter is being kept in view. Audit examination of the hotel revenue accounts revealed that the arrangements for the collection of hotel charges were either ineffective or were not energetically applied. This resulted not only in loss of revenue payable to the Military Government but also to the Civil Administration and the matter was brought to the notice of the Accountant General.\n\n32.\n\nChinese Government Telecommunication Administration. It came to the notice of this Department that this organization was functioning as a separate company in the Colony and enquiries were made as to whether royalties were being paid on its income. The enquiries revealed that, although the company had been operating since the year 1884, royalties had never been paid as no working agreement appeared to have been drawn up.\n\nThe matter is under consideration by Government and is being kept in view.\n\nPage 7.\n\n \n18",

An application under section 56 of this Ordinance shall be an application for a summons requiring the complainant to show cause why the order made on his complaint should not be varied.\n\n11. When an order of commitment for non-payment of money is issued, the defendant may, at any time before he is delivered into the custody of the gaoler, pay to the officer holding the order the amount indorsed thereon as that on the payment of which he may be discharged, and, on receiving that amount, the officer shall discharge the defendant, and shall forthwith pay over the amount to the magistrates' clerk.\n\n12. (1) The sum indorsed on the order of commitment as that on payment of which the prisoner may be discharged may be paid to the magistrates' clerk or to the gaoler in whose custody the prisoner is.\n\n(2) Where it is paid to the clerk, he shall sign a certificate of the payment, and, on receiving the certificate by post or otherwise, the gaoler in whose custody the prisoner then is shall forthwith discharge the prisoner.\n\n(3) Where it is paid to the gaoler, he shall on payment to him of that amount, sign a certificate of the payment and discharge the prisoner and forthwith transmit the sum so received to the magistrates' clerk.\n\n13. All costs incurred by the plaintiff or complainant in endeavouring to enforce an order shall, unless a magistrate otherwise orders, be enforceable by warrant of distress and sale or by imprisonment, without hard labour, not exceeding six weeks, unless the same shall be sooner paid.\n\nAppeals.\n\n14. In all cases of appeal to the Full Court on questions of law under Part VI of this Ordinance, the party setting down the appeal for argument shall, at the time of setting down the appeal for argument, furnish the Registrar with an additional copy of the case stated and of the depositions, if any, attached thereto; and if he fails to do so the other party to such appeal may, on the day following, deliver such copy as ought to have been delivered by the party making default; and the party making default shall not be heard until he has paid for such additional copy or deposited with the Registrar a sufficient sum to pay for such copy.\n\n15. Every case stated under Part VI of this Ordinance shall be divided into paragraphs which, as nearly as may be, shall be confined to a distinct portion of the subject, and every paragraph shall be numbered consecutively.\n\n16. The costs of drawing and copying any such case as aforesaid which does not in substance comply with the requirements of rule 15 of these rules shall not be allowed on taxation, unless the Full Court or the judge before whom the appeal is heard specially so directs.\n\nPage 319\n\nHong Kong.\n\nAPPENDIX OF FORMS.\n\nFORM NO. 1.\n\nIN THE POLICE Court at\n\nReturn of all fines and fees and other sums of money imposed or received showing their appropriation.\n\nAmount where option is given.\n\n  \n    NAMES OF PERSONS CHARGED.\n    CASE No.\n    Fine.\n    Amends.\n    Whether committed to prison, bound over, whipped, cautioned or discharged or payment deferred.\n    FINES.\n    Revenue Fund.\n    Ordinary.\n    Reward.\n    Arrears.\n  \n  \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n  \n\nFORFEITURES.\n\n  \n    Miscel-laneous.\n    Poor Box.\n    Fees.\n    Amends.\n    Ordinary.\n    Revenue Fund.\n    Reward.\n    Receipts.\n    Arrears.\n  \n  \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n  \n\nPage 320\n\n87",

        "content_text": "## 9 \n\n30 \n\n\nThere \n\nmajority of the flats were partitioned into individual cubicles. \nwere five staircases giving direct access to all floors except in the case of No. 367, the most westerly house, whose staircase went only to the first floor. Ingress to and egress from the floors above this could only be gained by going through the rear of the various floors of No. 365 and using the staircase common to that house and No. 363. Such a system would not have been approved by the Building Authority if incorporated in the plans of a new building. The stairs of all the houses stopped short at the fourth floor, and did not continue to an exit on the roof, which would be a necessary provision for approval of plans under the present Buildings Ordinance. There were fire escapes, that is to say steep iron ladders communicating between the verandahs of each building, but these escapes did not extend to the street, the alternate mode of egress from the first floor being through the back yard on that floor and into the scavenging lane. The fire escape ladders were covered by small iron hatches which could be easily lifted or removed, provided of course that there was nothing piled on top of them. In the crowded and congested state of the buildings, such was unlikely to be the case, as tenants no doubt deliberately covered up the hatches as a precaution against thieving. When we visited the premises the majority of these hatches were closed.\n\n21. At the rear of the tenements there was a yard on the first floor with a passage-way behind it, about 4 feet wide leading to a flight of steps which gave direct access to Whitty Street. Half way up the steps was a wooden door, the keys of which were kept in a box on the first floor of No. 359. The door was usually kept locked during the day, and was undoubtedly locked at the time of the fire. Entry to the scavenging lane between the tenements and godown No. 2 was through a grilled iron gate, also normally locked, set in an iron framework topped by outward and downward projecting spikes. The western end of the lane was bricked up. The lane itself was six feet in width.\n\n22. Plans B and C provide elevations of the buildings from the seafront and from Whitty Street. Plan D is a plan of the first floor of Nos. 351-\n\nPage 30\nPage 31",

        "content_text": "-36 \n\nA saving of $13,452 is made in the grants to former members of the local forces consequent on the graduation of some of the students. It has also been possible to make savings of $3,000 and $2,000 in respect of the Mercantile Marine Assistance Fund and the Magistrate's Poor Box respectively. The New Territories Agricultural Association is not in existence and consequently the subvention is not required. A typographical error occurred in 1950/51 regarding the subscription to the International Telecommunications Union. This has now been rectified and the correct figure of $1,920 instead of $19,200 is now shown.\n\n \n\n213 \n\nSpecial Expenditure is also higher in 1951/52. An additional $70,130 is provided for building grants to non-Government schools and an extra $300,570 for furniture and equipment grants. The major portion of the provisions for these two items, which total a little over $1,800,000, will be disbursed among schools to be constructed in the New Territories on a dollar-for-dollar basis. Considerable enthusiasm has been aroused over this scheme. As Hong Kong has agreed to meet expenditure up to $10,000 in respect of the Thai Area Mission of the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund, this provision is shown for the first time. Another new sub-head is a non-recurrent grant of $2,500 to the Welfare Fund of the Hong Kong Defence Force. It has been necessary to re-vote the grant of $68,183 to the Imperial War Graves Commission for Stanley Cemetery as the money provided in the previous year was not expended. A further but reduced grant of $400,000 has been made to the Welfare Fund established by the Commander British Forces, Hong Kong. The net increase in Special Expenditure amounts to $617,200.\n\n \n\nThe total expenditure on Subventions is $16,847,968 compared with the previous total of $14,326,900.\n\n \n\nHead 40. Supreme Court.\n\nEstimate 1951/52. Revised Estimate 1950/51. Approved Estimate 1950/51. Actual Expenditure 1949/50.\n\n$476,167 $448,103 $399,208 $441,561\n\nThe only establishment changes are the transfer of a Clerk Class III to another department and of a Librarian from the temporary staff to the non-pensionable establishment. Personal emoluments show a decrease of $5,342.\n\nIn 1950/51, the provision for fees to counsel and solicitors for prisoners and for watchmen were inadequate and in the 1951/52 estimates, an additional $5,000 and $10,000 respectively are provided. These increases are off-set by the elimination of the former provision of $16,000 for Tenancy Tribunal expenses which is no longer required and by a small saving of $200 on uniforms. Consequently, the recurrent expenditure is slightly lower by $1,300.\n\nThe total expenditure shows a decrease of $6,542 (corrected to proper numerical representation).\n\n \n\nHead 41.

Colonial Office 54447/5/50.\n\n1\n\nSAVINGRAM\n\nTo the Secretary of State for the Colonies.\n\nFrom the Governor, Hong Kong.\n\nNo....... 862 Date 11 August, 1950....... 15 29\n\nYour savingram No.284 of 20th March, 1950.\n\nRequisitioned railway materials: Kowloon Canton Railway (British Section) claim.\n\n1.\n\nThe following information has been obtained from the Railway Mechanical Engineer, Mr. J.K. Wong, who was the Assistant Mechanical Engineer in 1941 and was particularly concerned with the work of making missing parts for the 600 wagons. This information is based partly on evidence from documents he has seen and from his memory.\n\n2.\n\nThe contracts for making various castings were awarded to the South China Iron Works and the Liu Hou Kou Iron Works. Details of the number of parts ordered from the South China Iron Works have been obtained but the other company has now gone out of business. Mr. Wong has, however, seen some unsigned copies of a summary of its contract which shows that the Liu Hou Kou Iron Works was asked to manufacture 390 tons at 82 cents per lb. He confirms that the rate was correct. The South China Iron Works confirm that the rate paid to that firm was 84 cents per lb. because the castings it was asked to make were lighter and slightly more difficult. There was also a maximum allowance of 31% overweight in castings which is the normal allowance for this type of work.\n\n3.\n\nDetails of the contracts with these firms involve an estimated expenditure of $1,436,439.52 as follows:\n\n  \n    South China Iron Works\n    \n    \n    \n  \n  \n    For 40 Ton M.O.C.
