Que mon - Hory A-clany stated that he saw Cle-sline on the 1st of the mouth of last December year, but could not remember the day. Another, Le Al-js - Said that he saw him some day after the 20th of the 11th month! Of third, the master of a Saltfish Shop said that he saw him on the 24th of that month, the very day the burglary was committed and a fourth, A-shine's Uncle, Le A-hew, said that on the evening of that day he rested in his house, slept there and that two days after he returned to Kongching, taking his wife with him. I repose confidence in these statements, and I do not hesitate to believe them; they leave no doubt of the prisoner's guilt. That they made to the party whom I sent, I fully believe.\n\nSubmitting this narrative to Your Excellency's consideration.\n\nI remain, Sir, (Signed) William Legge.\n\nFor Colonial Secretary.",

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

The officials and residents in Hongkong will not, I presume, dispute the rights so clearly precedent; or suggest that the Chinese Government is acting harshly towards their countrymen if they imposed the same duties on foreign goods imported in native bottoms from Hongkong to other treaty ports as would be paid if those goods were imported in native or foreign bottoms to the same places from one of the treaty ports.\n\nForeign Goods at the treaty ports pay duty according to the Tariff annexed to the Treaty of Tientsin; & if carried by junks to places on the Coast they are charged with half the duty again. It seems anomalous that similar goods bought at Hongkong should not be charged at the same rate; and Sir Thomas Wade suggests that the collection of these duties should be done by a branch of the Foreign Inspectorate in the neighbourhood of Hongkong from the junks carrying the goods to the Colony, with the Colonial Government undertaking to assist this collection on condition that the objectionable Customs stations at the last... be withdrawn, or managed by Foreigners at Hongkong.\n\nSo far I think that Sir Thomas Wade's proposal is all that we can wish, provided the Chinese will accept it. He also suggests that the Inspectorate should not collect the Likin tax on opium; it is quite right that they should abolish the opium duties, but we should refrain from specifying the Likin, which is a tax first imposed for the suppression of the Taiping Rebellion, and has since been continued because it is convenient. Foreigners have hitherto avoided doing anything from which their approval of its continuance might be inferred.\n\nThe Likin tax was not recognised by foreigners until the recent Chefoo Convention, which Sir Thomas Wade included a stipulation concerning it. This convention has not yet been ratified by the Queen, and it is understood that other nations have protested against this official recognition of the Likin tax; and there is mention of the delay in its ratification.\n\nThe Colonists here complain of the arbitrary duties levied on exports going to China, and there is strong evidence in recent papers that not only are duties levied on exports going to China, but that special rates, in excess of stated duties, are levied on exports to other places. The Chinese refuse to publish their Tariff, but there is one thought probably underlying it clearly.\n\nSir Thomas Wade does not touch on this part of the question. He objects that the junks, if not actually sort of rogues, are much so if the question were dried, and that it is not a sufficient ground for excluding them from Hongkong that they come there to watch the junk trade.\n\nThe reply approves the proposal contained in the Memorandum of Sir Thomas Wade, reserving the question of the junks for further consideration.\n\n## Japan, Rewis Ap. 11\n\nTo proceed draftclonar \nJs. 7/4 \n12.7.0",

The Chief Justice \"may with the advice & approval of the Legislative Council frame General Orders for amongst other purposes (2) Regulating the Duties of the various officers of the Court -(5) Regulating the Custody of unpaid Dividends\". No General Orders have, so far as I can learn, even been made. I asked Sir John Smale how he explains this omission.\n\nIt is not a question of the Judge examining complicated accounts, but rather one of establishing rules for the duty of the accounting officers and for the custody of monies; for which safeguards the law looks primarily. I have told Fraser Jackson that he will apply himself to this in future.\n\nSir John is going back shortly, & there is no other work that he can avoid if the question above suggested is asked. He should be written to at once.\n\nMur Cox \n\nJs. 8/10.\n\nFor. Dispatches 627.

I had not been Lincoln's Inn till 1867, when the Ordinance 15 of 67 was passed...\n\n45% apportioned in the hands of the former Official Assignee... when it is undesirable that the Registrar should hold the appointment.\n\nMr Huffam was according to appoitntment on M.9.10.\n\nI think it will be necessary to decide now what rules should be laid down for the receipt, custody & payment out of monies coming into the hands of the Registrars of the Supreme Court: and I should write to Sir John Smale that the subject is being considered.",

        "content_text": "(4)\n\nInstructions referred to on page 1.\n\nIf this Paper of Particulars and the Certificates connected with it, be not sent in original, the copies must be duly attested.\n\nHead 1 of Paper-In the case of an Officer serving on the West Coast of Africa, a statement is to be added whether he is a native of that Coast. (Colonial Regulations, § 430).\n\nHead 3.-State the description of Allowance for which the Application is recommended, viz., Superannuation, Compensation, Compassionate Allowance, or Gratuity, and its amount. In the case of Persons claiming an addition to their Pensions in respect of Professional or other special qualifications, this should be stated, and a reference should be given to the authority under which the claim is made.\n\nHead 5.-If the service has been interrupted by one or more breaks, the word \"broken\" should be added before or after the number of years and months, and the causes, dates, and circumstances of the break or breaks should be stated under heading 9.\n\nHead 6-If the person retiring has been in receipt of the same Salary, or in the class from which he retires, for the 36 months immediately before the date of his retirement, the actual annual rate of Salary or Wages at that date should be inserted, preceded by the word \"actual.\" In other cases the average annual amount of Salary or Wages for the 36 months next preceding the date of retirement should be inserted, preceded by the word \"average,\" but if the whole period of service is less than three years, then the average for the whole period of service should be inserted.\n\nHead 7-A separate statement should be inserted of the average Annual Value, for the 36 months immediately preceding retirement, of each Emolument (exclusive of salary or wages) which is claimed to be included in the calculation of the Pension or Gratuity.\n\nWhenever the value of a House or House Allowance, so ascertained, exceeds one-sixth of the Salary and other emoluments which count for Pension purposes, it is to be reduced to one-sixth of that amount, so that it shall not exceed one-seventh of the whole.\n\nFees which an Officer is allowed to retain for his own use will be taken into account for Pension purposes, with regular salary, at the annual average of the net receipts of the 36 months next preceding the Officer's retirement. These net receipts are to be ascertained by deducting from the gross amount of Fees such Office Expenses, &c., as an Officer may have had to defray from his own resources, in performing the services for which he was remunerated by Fees. No deduction, however, from the Fees should be made in respect of Office Expenses provided from Public Funds, for the due discharge of those duties to which a Fixed Salary is annexed. Papers of \"Particulars\" when forwarded to the Colonial Department should be accompanied by formal Declarations from the retiring Officers, showing the amount received by them for Fees, and the amount defrayed as above for Office Expenses, &c., in each of the three years immediately preceding the retirement. It will be the duty of the Colonial Governments concerned to satisfy themselves of the accuracy of such statements before forwarding them to the Colonial Office. In the case of Officers receiving Fixed Salaries and Fees, the Fees will not in ordinary circumstances be allowed to count for Pension purposes to the extent of more than one quarter of the Salaries, and Fees will not in any case be allowed to count for Pension purposes during any period in which the whole time of the Officer receiving them was not given to the Public Service.\n\nHead 8.-In cases of infirmity, if the Applicant is below the ordinary age for retirement, a Medical Certificate is to be furnished showing that he is disqualified by infirmity of mind or body for discharging the duties of his situation, and that such infirmity is likely to be permanent.\n\nIn case of ten years' service or more, this Certificate should be signed by two Officers, of whom at least one should, if possible, be a Salaried Officer of the Government.\n\nHead 9.--As to \"broken\" service, see Head 5.\n\nIf the Applicant has had any \"acting\" service, the details must be fully given, with a statement whether or not, during the \"acting\" service, he was connected with the permanent Civil Service of the Colony.\n\nHead 11-If, in special circumstances, a professional Civil Officer has been allowed to have private practice without forfeiting his claim to Pension, the facts are to be fully stated.\n\nHead 14.-If the Applicant is liable to any deduction from his service under Clause 102 of the Colonial Regulations, the facts should be fully stated.\n\nHead 19. The length of service and other particulars of the computation are to be given. When an average of Salary, &c., is taken, the mode of calculating it (whether by months, &c.) is to be explained.\n\nDRAFT.\n\nMW. I.

Ordinance 6. 4.1860 transferred all powers & rights vested in or exercisable by the Officers of the Crown to the Governor, but here we are concerned with whether it conferred any greater powers or rights than those already specified by the Ordinance.\n\nThe end of the argument is important for if Military Lands are held without reference to the Governor, this power extends to the forts recently constructed by the Colonial Government.\n\nIf the above view of the legal status is correct, the military authorities are not at fault for the disposal of lands so long as they are in the possession of the military officers for Military purposes.\n\nIt should be pointed out that they cannot act without the assistance of the Governor; it is desirable for the departments to work together in this business.\n\nPar. 16 of the despatch is incorrect, as regards Lot 22, for the Military Authorities have bought from a private holder at the Murther boundary of the lot (see extract from despatch & `GR6969`) high water mark. The Colonial fort might probably be prevented from interfering with their access to the sea.\n\nOn the other hand, it cannot be admitted that the right of inspection of and gives the Military a right of ownership in the foreshore in front of the land they occupy.\n\nThere is a minor point on the Admiralty question; you will note that in Despatch `No. Vaux` anything short of 9 days if Admiralty declines to pay the Colony should still be considered an immediate refusal, & Admiralty should be informed in a separate or confidential despatch. We must therefore be writing to Admiralty as at once than sentiments after advantage mentioned & must why the despatch in M.S. P. London draft & `Saf. D. de Vore Fullerton` fit his despatch. Reprinted with mark `Shimm Js.1074` Reust aft `Ku 21114`.\n\nI have seen Colonel Lucock & am glad to find they now admit in principle (but conditionally as yet) the propriety of Colony Contributing Towards the Scheme of `XCR(85)72` by harbour works.

Colonel Lucock thinks that the owners of the North Barrack keep the reclamation in abeyance in order to sell & \n\n# Lord Ripon \n\nfailed from than a right to the presipiin, but not a right of alienating the land. I do not think this be so; any attempt to pull in the open Markets as suggested in paragraph 10 of the despatch.\n\nThe Military authorities and the fact that the farmers are instructed by the military officers for Military purposes.\n\nIt is desirable for the departments & work together in this business.\n\n| Col | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| Lot 22 | Bought from private holder at Murther boundary |\n\nPage 363",

The portion of the pension earned by length of service shall be calculated at the rate of 1/60th of the salary and emoluments of the sufferer at the time when the injury or accident occurred, for each year of service completed by him at the time he retires, whether the number of years served be more or less than 10, but no number of years service shall be allowed to give a claim to pension of more than 40/60 in respect of service only. In every such case a Medical Certificate shall be furnished stating:\n\n(a.) Whether the capacity of the sufferer to contribute towards his own support is slightly impaired, impaired, materially impaired, or totally destroyed, and\n\n(b) Whether such incapacity is likely to be permanent.\n\n(c) Whether the retirement is to be attributed solely and immediately to the injuries received.\n\nAn addition to the pension of the sufferer, on account of the injury may then be made on the following scale:\n\n(a.) When the capacity is certified to be slightly impaired not exceeding 6/60ths of the pay and emoluments;\n\n(b.) When impaired not exceeding 12/60ths;\n\n(c.) When materially impaired not exceeding 18/60ths;\n\n(d.) When totally destroyed not exceeding 24/60ths.\n\nBut in no case, however, shall the total amount of the pension exceed the full amount of the pay and emoluments of the sufferer at the time when the injury occurred.\n\nCOUNCIL CHAMBER,\n\nHONGKONG.\n\nA.

The period before the 31st July is very short for carrying through the necessary arrangements for that purpose, and in view of the fact that the excess circulation of the Corporation on the 28th February last amounted to over $3,600,000 or more than one half of that Bank's total circulation in Hong Kong, there would possibly be a risk of serious inconvenience to the community if the Mercantile Bank were unable to get a considerable quantity of notes into circulation by that date.\n\nMy Lords observe also that Mr Chamberlain in his despatch of the 30th January expressed a preference for a Government Note issue as the means for meeting the increased requirements of Hong Kong hereafter, and that the Governor's reply indicates a readiness to consider the expediency of such an issue if the results in the Straits Settlements prove favourable. It is not desirable to increase the number of private Banks of issue in the Colony if a State issue is likely to be shortly adopted.\n\nFor these reasons it appears to My Lords, upon the information before Them, that the simplest course, under present circumstances, would be to extend the operation of clause 3 of the Hong Kong Ordinance No. 1 of 1899 for a further period of six or twelve months (as may seem desirable) from the 31st July. The Notes issued under that power are issued upon terms which can give the Bank no great reason to object to their discontinuance whenever events may require it.\n\nI am, Sir,\n\nYour obedient servant,\n\nEuthamillion\n\nfr Individual.\n\n899\n\nJuly\n\nevious Paper.\n\nyue 9\n\nPage 363\n\nHONG KONG\n\nNo. 19388\n\n(Subject.)\n\nNote Issue Security\n\n0.\n\n217\n\nDOMESTIC.\n\n10008\n\nCX\n\nF? 2- JUL 19\n\nAhong Shanghai Bank\n\nCarcars that no sufficient pound have been shown to patify apply to depoort securities instead of coin being granted\n\n(Minutes.)\n\nTelegraph to Hong\n\nPathop Referring\n\nbastinado\n\nLogester fad\n\nRefer a do you let of 16 July a purpos H.K.JS.

        "content_text": "2/. As to the general question raised in para 182 of the despatch - Certain officers were granted certain increases of salary from a certain date. Therefore, if such an officer is entitled from that date to the date of his leaving to his increase of salary, unless there was some express provision or declaration depriving him of the increase in whole or in part in the event of his leaving the service before a certain date. There does not appear to have been such a condition here. Therefore, I am in agreement with the Acting Colonial Treasurer, Mr. Johnson.\n\nJS.R. 7/3 - You asked me to consider how the decision on arrears of increased salary would affect this case, and whether it would affect the grant of Pension. There will be a difference between voluntary resignation and retirement on pension; and perhaps the decision on 36106/01 is relevant (see also 23432/01). The increases of salary were approved on 19 July 1901 (vide 25037/99 and 16701/00).\n\nA.F. 11/3 - Please see Mr. Risley's note on 36106/01. The fact that this man resigned entirely of his own accord in order to enter private employment seems to be relevant. The increases were approved subject to approval by the Legislative Council.\n\nGus 11/3 - M. Johnson - The case of Gibbs (36106/21) seems to me distinguishable from that of this officer. In the former, the increase was only given after the officer had left the service, and he was clearly not entitled to the benefit of its retrospective operation. In the latter, if I have the facts correctly, the increases were given whilst the officer was in the service, but the actual amount of the increases was not definitely settled until after he had resigned.\n\nHis claim was refused on the ground that he did not apply, whilst in the service, for the increase. He could not apply until he knew how much he was entitled to, and he did not and could not obtain that knowledge until after he had left the service.\n\nI think he is entitled to his pay up to the moment of his leaving the service. It is not affected by the fact that he voluntarily resigned his office. If he had remained in the service, he would have been allowed the increases.\n\n84913/3 (B & L (x) — 46569----3000-8-01) - An officer does not lose pension by voluntary resignation, but not pay.\n\nMr. Lucas 2.S.R.12/3 - Perhaps we may be guided by the decision taken on this point in the case of 33361/00.\n\nC.P.L. sw/13/3 14\n\n \nPage 71",

There will be no objection, I think, to administering a flogging in 3 doses of 8 strokes each, if the Court thought it proper. But the Hong Kong order must be amended so as to make it clear that the total number of strokes inflicted must be in accordance with the provisions of the model order, whether they are inflicted all at once or on two or three separate occasions.\n\nJS.R. 08/11\n\nWrite as in Mr. Raith's minute, modified so that the biggest that the be repeated a re...

C. Shepherd has been usefully employed. \n\nHe was recommended to me to fill a vacancy in March last. Substitutes for these two can be got if it is thought advisable. I think it is not at present. \n\n### Chinese Land Police \n\nThe keeping of a candidates book has been given up so long that I cannot find anyone who can tell me when it was discontinued. \n\n1 \n\nMy experience of candidates lists is that it is of little value where natives are concerned as it is very difficult to find them when their turn comes and then they are often otherwise employed. \n\nThings are not so bad as they seem for we are seldom below our strength. The difficulty is in getting men to pass the doctor. \n\nThe quality of the recruits is another matter. It may be improved by the increased pay suggested. But the recruits in this branch always have been the trouble, and always will be just as is the case with Malays. They will go home and elsewhere to see their friends. They will smoke, sit down and sleep when on duty, but they are necessary and the survivals are very useful. The figures given for casualties shew an improvement. In 1901 97 + 55 = 152, in 1902 58 + 89 = 127, in 1903 28 + 44 = 72 or for the year at this rate 35 + 59 = 94. \n\nSecurity would be unsafe if it can be obtained but this should be left to the Captain Superintendent of Police",

Harbour Master's office.\n\nThat it was considered from his reply that he had not exercised adequate personal supervision over the subordinates of his department, and the S.JS. was informed of the intention of the Governor that he should be made personally responsible for a small portion of the loss which the treasury had suffered.\n\n(I do not think it necessary to go into a detailed examination of the Governor's minute. Cdr. Taylor has probably wilfully misread his letter of the 10th Nov. I unless he made a precise statement, it seems unnecessary to rush into a discussion with him, particularly in view of the fact that his present letter contains nothing new)\n\nRow: 1575.\n\nSome months ago, Commander Taylor, who seems much broken in health, called on me after receiving C.A.'s letter. The C.A. had not received definite instructions from Hongkong to collect the money and had told him to ask for reconsideration as he wanted to pay in instalments.\n\n(It would be cruel to press him at once. He must be allowed to pay in instalments.) He said that he had the papers but they were not available at the moment, being with his heavy baggage.\n\nI told him that he had better wait till then to put forward his grounds for contending that he should not be made to pay. This apparently is his idea of grounds.\n\nIn writing to C.A. proposing to consider any further representations which he may desire to supplement his letter of 11/11/20, I say I am prepared to consider them.\n\nPage 1665",

I requested Messrs. Pollock and Murray Stewart to negociate as to this offer, and they have reported to me, that they are unable to obtain very substantially better terms than those offered, which on the whole as amended they consider not unreasonable. They are strongly of opinion that these lots should be acquired for the Station and feared that unless Government came to an early decision the opportunity might be lost. They however considered that if it were possible to provide the money it would be much the best for Government to purchase the lots in question without making any exchanges. It is anticipated that the owners would be willing to sell for a sum of $1,472,389.53 if the Police Camber is also given to them (valued at $287,083.60). Mr. Chatham agreed with their view, and I am myself inclined to concur also, since it is admitted that the values asked are not excessive, and the land we own will probably increase in value. The proposals compare thus. (Omitting the Camber common to both).\n\nA.

As I said there will be special conditions attached to China Companies, which are rendered necessary by circumstances of which the Shanghai Court has better knowledge than the Hongkong Court; indeed the Hongkong Court would hardly know on what lines to exercise a discretion in some \n\ncases, \n\nwere a discretion provided for in the new legislation. Section \n\n1 (3), which is no doubt necessary at the present time, I think ought not to be wanted where there is a proper Court having direct jurisdiction, for that is the proper Court to apply to. Should a large number of companies arise in South China which are not managed in or from Hongkonę we can make provision in the future, but in the meantime let us legis-late for existing circumstances, i.e. Companies managed in Shanghai nine-tenths, in other Northern ports one-tenth, on the one hand, and Companies managed in Hongkong on the other hand. Hongkong is the centre for the latter, Shanghai for the former, and the Court in each place should have exclusive jurisdiction for the purposes of the Ordi-nance over the Hongkong Companies having their registered office in the colonial and extraterritorial jurisdiction respectively. Such a \n\nlimitation of the jurisdiction of the Courts follows such a well known practice as that which is applied to the different parts of the \n\nUnited Kingdom and is one to which we can better apply existing law than the one you suggest, which might lead to business concerns in the \n\nNorth being hampered in their work by applications to the Hongkong Court. There may be reasons which I do not appreciate for the latitude you would give, but, so long as a Company can choose and does choose where its registered office is to be, I think it would be better that \n\nit should not be allowed to chop and change its Court. \n\nI am very anxious to get this business which is of great importance settled by the summer, so I should like to have \n\nyour further views on the two points as soon as it is convenient to you. \n\nSincerely Yours \n\n(Sd.)

At the utmost 3 or 4 only were legitimate criticisms. The animus with which the list had been drawn up was manifest: to make it as long as possible in order to carry out the sarcasm of the heading.\n\nAnnexed to Mr Severn's letter was also a memo. from the Treasurer containing some criticisms, most of which were erroneous. As to the letter itself the hostile spirit which actuated it was manifested by the piling up one on top of the other the errors which I knew of and those which had been alleged but not inquired into. Further it laid to my charge the mistake of omitting the Railways Loan Ordinance which was omitted on the authority of Government itself. But piled together in this reckless way it made a famous list on which to frame the indictment of inaccuracy. But apart from this the letter was wanting in the most elementary courtesy. There was no occasion to play Bombastes; on the contrary, having in view the position of the author and the circumstances in which the work had been done, and the magnitude of it, it was essentially a case in which the greatest consideration ought to have been shown. The mistakes were regrettable; no one regretted them more than I, as I had shewn by withdrawing the Volumes in order that they might be corrected. The course which courtesy and gentlemanly feeling demanded was, not to jump into the breach and brandish a wooden sword, but to point out that it was impossible for the Council to approve the Volumes until they had been corrected and to request me to correct them; a course which not only I was bound to, but should have agreed to without demur. I was not a Chinese contractor who had done work badly and insisted on its being accepted, but I was treated like one, and a hostility displayed at once which was entirely out of place. For instance, Mr Clementi asked me \"how I accounted for the mistake in the Official Signatures Ordinance?\" There was no question of \"accounting\"; it was a mistake, and one which could have been easily rectified. Another instance of this hostility was the attempted Mr Clementi that the Railways Loan Ordinance had been printed as a slip which is a fact after consultation with the Colonial Secretary's Office, The mistake about the slip was that the printers had omitted a page number, but this could have been put straight by hand-stamping.\n\none,\n\ndenial by",

He does not know much about financial affairs, and he is now being sent away from Canton.\n\nIt would be an act of kindness and a great favour to us Chinese, if you were to speak to all the leading merchants and contradict what this Chau Lo had been saying, by giving them the true state of affairs: Chau Lo has no authority from this Government for saying what he had said.

It appears to your Committee that the circumstances of the case can best be set forth in a report of this character in substantially general terms.\n\n10.\n\nYour Committee would like to add that Mr. Alim Khan is undoubtedly an extremely capable and clever man; that his superior officers all speak in high terms of his industry and capabilities, and that his dereliction from duty appears to have been largely brought about by the lack of control which was exercised over him. It may also be noted, here, that suggestions were made from time to time during the course of the enquiry that Mr. Alim Khan's financial position was at all material times extremely precarious. Your Committee does not think that there is any satisfactory evidence to show that this was necessarily the case; were it so, however, it would only supply a motive for a course of conduct upon which, without such motive, your Committee already considers there is ample ground for framing its opinion.\n\n11.\n\nSummarising the conclusions to which your Committee has come, your Committee considers:-\n\n(1). that Mr. Alim Khan did engage in the practice of receiving monies in advance from applicants for Letters of Administration in poor cases; that he had no definite authority to do so although it is possible, that he may have thought himself justified in his practice; that although his practice of receiving fees in advance may have been known by some of his superior officers, they did not know that he received the total amount of the fees payable in advance, but were under the impression that he only received such fees as they actually accrued and that he forthwith duly accounted for them.\n\n(2). that insufficient supervision and control was exercised in the Registry over Mr. Alim Khan's operations and duties; in which indeed he was given too much latitude.\n\n(3). that the financial instructions were not strictly followed.",

After the change of Government, arbitrary action contrary to Treaty caused supplies to cease absolutely and the company's business was brought to a standstill. After negotiations extending over two years assurances were given that the company could carry on business as before. In spite of these assurances for reasons which I am at a loss to discover, supplies of stone cannot be procured from Kwangtung and the company is forced to obtain stone from Tongking at a cost which seriously curtails their earnings. \n\n## \n\nIn the meantime the Canton Cement Works, an enterprise owned by the Government, which is responsible for inflicting these great losses on British traders, is in a position to obtain stone freely. Can such a state of things be described as equitable or can the Kwangtung Government be acquitted of the charge of secretly favouring its own interest at the expense of those of its British competitors? Can its refusal to take any steps to satisfy the just claim for losses due by its own wrongful acts escape the criticism of fair-minded men, or is it consonant with its dignity as a Government to carry on trade in cement while at the same time making use of its official status to hamper the operations of others? \n\n## \n\nThe duty of every Government is to exercise justice, but how can a Government do this when it throws its own interests into the scales? \n\n## \n\nI feel sure that your clearness of vision and un-biassed mind will not fail to appreciate these arguments and I have therefore the honour to express an earnest hope that no time will be lost in effecting a satisfactory settlement either on the above lines or on those previously indicated. \n\n## \n\nI have, &c., \n\n(sd.)

For at Hongkong if I have\n\nbeen in America or in India I could easily bring some of my import-\n\nant friends European who know me and my father well to prove my\n\ngenuine loyalty. Mr. C. G. Spence, High Court Judge, Vadras, knows\n\nvery well my father and hence me. If I am detained at Colombo I\n\ncould easily show the Goverment by easily bringing some of the\n\nhighest of the European officials who know my family to testify as\n\nto my loyalty. I have produced enough of documents that I have not\n\nbeen a friend of Har Dayal but only his enemy. Even when I left the\n\nUnited States I did not tell even a single Windu that I am going to\n\nIndia. Only I informed some of my American Christian friends that I\n\nam going to India to help the Government.\n\nAlready to Hindus in\n\nAmerica have spread a strong rumour that I am a detective of the\n\nGovernment. So much so that I lived at the home of the Secretary of\n\nthe American Bible Society, Mr. W. A. Mall, as those anarchists\n\nwould do something to my life. The other Findu who is with me I do\n\nnot know anything at him I only met him on board the ship at San\n\nFrancisco. I wish you could give me a private and personal hearing\n\nof my statement and I want to explain clearly everything to you.\n\nThe Captain Superintendent of Police,\n\nHongkong.\n\n(Intd.) H.

The text does not form coherent sentences or paragraphs, and there are many non-standard characters and symbols present.\n\nGiven the rules and guidelines provided for proofreading OCR output of historical records relating to Hong Kong, the primary task is to correct spelling errors, fix spacing issues, and rejoin broken sentences while preserving the original content as much as possible.\n\nHowever, due to the nature of the provided text, it's challenging to apply these rules directly as the text does not seem to contain recognizable historical content related to Hong Kong or any coherent narrative. The text appears to be a mix of random characters, numbers, and what seems to be fragments of words or codes.\n\nTherefore, the output is presented as is, using HTML with `` tags for paragraphs, as per the instructions. No significant corrections or reordering has been done due to the text's incoherent nature.",

It is \n\nno more possible to recognise and keep a check on the mui taai moving to and fro than it is to recognise and keep a check on all robbers and bad characters from the \n\ninterior. \n\nThe Colony has, with the active assistance of resident Chinese, developed its own system of detecting and dealing with abuses as far as possible: this will be referred to below. It appears that something more is asked for: but the only suggestion made is for some form of registration. A very slight local knowledge would show that the practical difficulties in the way of registering all mui taai in the Colony are so great as to render the suggestion of little value at the best: the regulations would have to contain Sections appointing Inspectors, (who, if not Europeans, would have at least to be under the closest European supervision), with large powers of entry to private houses; penalties for breach would be necessary; and with it all we should be required to deal only with cases at best irritate without making any real advance. \n\ntravellers going through \n\nthe Colony. \n\nCases of abuse could be just as easily covered: mui tsai are young and simple, with all the stupidity and timidity of the most rustic inexperience, and the truth is rarely \n\nto be got from them or through them; witnesses on their side are very rarely to be found, while the kidnapper or procuress has little difficulty in finding support for any story that may fit the case; relationship itself can be claimed, with little chance of the claim being disproved. All the evil disposed would be no worse off",

There was abundant evidence that the stevedores and other sympathetic strikers had no separate grievance but that they were coming out under pressure and intimidation from Canton. It was known that the Seamen's Union was attempting to call out all labour in the Colony, employing methods of intimidation, and accordingly on the lat February the Union was declared to be an unlawful society, and its premises were closed. On the 8th February similar action was taken against the Stevedores, Cargo Carriers, and Tallymen's Unions, on the ground that they were picketting the whole sea front and were intimidating others from working. On the same date the export of coal, rice, and flour from the Colony was prohibited except under permit, and the export of silver bullion, already under permit, was subjected to special scrutiny, the ostensible reason being that it was necessary to conserve stocks. It was known that Canton was already running short of supplies of all kinds, and, as regards silver bullion, the Hongkong Government became aware that the Canton Authorities were relying for a very substantial part of their revenues upon the profit made from the carriage of ten cent pieces from bar silver imported in immense quantities from Hongkong.\n\n15. The position as between the shipowers and the seamen was one of stalemate. There was evidence that the seamen were most anxious for a settlement, and their delegates, who came to Hongkong on two occasions, appeared to be willing to discuss the matter on reasonable lines, but the Kwok Man Tong interposed its authority and put its absolute ban on any conference which had not as its condition Coinage",

With money ready to buy goods they are waiting for a ship to arrive. I have engaged the On Po junk to make regular voyages to HK carrying 20000 or 30000 per voyage. The cheapest quotation for freight is $1500 to $2000. Nobody knows, and the smuggling is very easy. I have a consignment on the way, please sell at once on arrival, as I have a succession of consignments about to arrive from various places. This year (1923) there is a far better opportunity for business than previously. Over 100000 taels have already arrived,\n\nAt the end of the 4th moon or the beginning of the 5th moon I expect 500 or 600000 taels, but there is such a tremendous demand that money must be ready on the spot in order to get the goods. If you like you can load ships with 40 or 50000 at once. If you like you can lead-chips Henceforth you can get continuous supplies, you need have no fear about not being able to get the goods.\n\nLetter No Yai Sang to I Shan.\n\nYour order for 1000 tins {prob; 5 tails each} of prepared opium will take three or four days to execute, before the goods can be sent to Hongkong for you to sell. I have been thinking very seriously about Big Cheng's having 1000 tins returned, because his agent at Kwongchowan proved untrustworthy",

Mr. Tope asked if it was the intention of the Council to provide an armoury for the Island for the police, or whether it was the intention to have the police regularly armed, whilst they were on police duty.\n\nThe Chairman of the Municipal Council: It is the intention that the police will be regularly armed,\n\nDr. Reynolds asked what percentage had any experience of fire arms.\n\nThe Chairman of the Municipal Council: I think about 4 per cent.\n\nDr. Reynolds contended that the armed constables would be a danger to the public. He instanced an occasion when some Chinese, practising at a target some seven yards distant, failed to hit the target. He thought that half a dozen additional constables trained in the use of fire arms would be much more suitable.\n\nH.B.M. Consul-General mentioned that an amendment had been handed in which, in a measure, covered Dr. Reynold's suggestion.\n\nThe Chairman of the Municipal Council said that there were no facilities for the training of their present staff of constables in the use of fire-arms.\n\nMr. Kitching thought they could be trained. There was a place behind the Russian Consulate where they could be trained. The plates were still lying there.\n\nMr. Hogg asked, in the event of the resolution being passed, if it was the intention of the Council to employ men who were competent in the use of fire-arms.

The photograph on the back of the certificate, moreover, is undoubtedly that of Mr. Chen and would seem to be good evidence that Chen Han-ming and Walter Lenlie Young are\n\nthe same person.\n\nAsked if he had ever registered before,\n\nMr. Chen at first stated that he had not done so and excused himself on the ground of ignorance of the regulations. Shortly afterwards, however, he informed Mr. Brenan that the above statement was untrue and that he had previously been registered in Shanghai in 1915, but owing to his fear that British subjects might be conscripted for the war, he had written to the Consulate renouncing his British nationality. He now wished to become British again because he lived in Chapei (the Chinese suburb adjoining the Shanghai settlement) and desired protection from Chinese troops during the present\n\ntroubles.\n\nA reference to the records showed that\n\na letter dated Hankow, July 4th 1917, was\n\nin fact received from W. L. Young purporting\n\nto renounce his British allegiance, but a reply had been sent care of His Majesty's Consul-General at Hankow informing him that\n\nsuch a statement was of no effect, unable to say whether this reply was ever\n\nreceived.\n\n687\n\n4\n\n• ДИГНЕ Ч",

Hong Kong quickly overcame the immediate difficulties of a domestic strike and expelled from the Colony all strikers who would not return to duty, but it is still languishing under a commercial boycott. Canton will not receive or despatch any vessel which makes Hong Kong a port of call, nor will it accept any merchandise which has been transhipped at Hong Kong. As the colony possesses no industries of its own and is merely a dumping-ground for cargo bound to and from South China, the total cessation of business relations with Canton is robbing it of its very means of subsistence.\n\nAn effort was recently made to come to some sort of an agreement but proved unsuccessful. Previously the main obstacle to negotiations was the extravagant political demands made by the Strike Committee, but towards the end of December the National Government, in conference with the Colonial Secretary, who visited Canton in order to arrive at a modus vivendi, agreed to shelve all political demands and to receive a delegation of Chinese merchants from Hong Kong which should discuss the possibility of a settlement on such lines they had no option but to return to Hong Kong forthwith.\n\n3. The failure of the negotiations had made it clear that the Canton administration is not sufficiently strong to override the wishes of the strikers' Committee and that both are influenced by the design of the Russians. The \"Canton Gazette\" has openly proclaimed that the issue is not economic but political and that the boycott must go on until more practical sympathy is extended to the demands of the Chinese nationalist party.\n\nIt must be intensely gratifying to the Bolshevist elements\n\n... no boril plaotary stintson \n\nat sat dosja notØT. 2 \n\nriftai elə? vaid Lauano uoTONJUNT \n\n95% of ton s no wood was a \n\nnai lee aætup \n\nIsistar boldiaca settima \n\naut mal to hoovestead læreiðill and lo andidonut \n\nvolt \n\nrade \n\nPeas.",

My Lords are unable to trace any communication in which it has been suggested that a claim for jurisdiction could be made in areas of the open sea outside the territorial waters, determined in the usual way, of the colony of Hong Kong. They presume that the limits of the colony were described in the Convention by roughly rectangular co-ordinates mainly as a matter of convenience, and not for the purpose of claiming jurisdiction over any portions of high sea enclosed by these co-ordinates.\n\n3. Subject to the concurrence of the Secretary of State, My Lords therefore propose to authorise the insertion in the China Station Order Book of the definition of the Colony contained in `Hong Kong Ordinance No. 31 of 1911`, together with a note to the effect that His Majesty's Government do not claim jurisdiction over any part of the sea area included in the definition, but that they claim the usual territorial rights over the waters bordering the territories of the Colony, so that territorial waters will in certain parts extend beyond the limits defined in the Ordinance and in others fall considerably short of them.\n\nI am,  \nSir,  \nYour obedient Servant,  \nJS Barnes\n\nThe Under Secretary of State,  \n**COLONIAL OFFICE**,  \nS.W. 1.\n\nPage 14",

Nos. 167 and 168.\n\nI have to refer to your letter dated 9th April 1954, and to inform you that the proposals submitted thereunder have been carefully considered at a recent Departmental Land Conference.\n\n2. As a result of such consideration I have to inform you that this Department is not prepared to recommend the proposals as shown on the plan accompanying your letter under reference as the same represent a development which is considered to be far too intensive.\n\n3. This Department would however be prepared to consider proposals envisaging the erection of three separate blocks of flats on the combined portions of the lots fronting Kun Tong Road with two additional separate blocks of flats on the combined rear areas.\n\n4. This Department would further be prepared to recommend the removal of the restrictive covenants relating to the portions of the above lots coloured green on your plan (fronting Kun Tong Road) subject to the payment of an additional premium, to be later calculated, to permit of the erection of the buildings as indicated in para. 3 hereof, subject to your client obtaining letters of consent from the owners of N.K.I.Ls. Nos. 63 and 166. It is the considered opinion of the Crown's Legal Department that each of the lessees of N.K.I.Ls. 63, 166, 167 and 168 could enforce the restrictive covenant against the others and also against the Crown as lessor, and accordingly the owners of N.K.I.Ls. Nos. 63 and 166 might be successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting the Crown from granting permission to build on the areas coloured green.\n\n5. Under the circumstances therefore the first step is obviously for your clients to approach the owners of N.K.I.Ls. Nos. 63 and 166 and seek to obtain from them letters of consent to the erection of buildings as set out in para. 3 hereof.\n\n6. No further action can be taken on your letter of the 9th April 1954 pending action as suggested in para. 5 above.\n\nI am, Sir,\n\nYour obedient servant,\n\n(J.E. Richardson)\n\nfor Supt. of Crown Lands & Surveys.\n\nJER/JS\n\nMr. C. T. Sui,\nc/o Mr. G. W. Grey,\n133, Gloucester Building,",

It is thought undesirable in principle that such status should be conferred on the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation individually, and I consider that it would be preferable that the Ordinance should be amended in general terms so as to permit them to proceed under it.\n\n2. The draft of a bill, a copy of which I enclose for consideration, has therefore been prepared in consultation with the Bank's solicitors, empowering the Governor-in-Council to grant the status of a Trust Company, subject to certain conditions, to any banking corporation.\n\n3. In view of the provisions of Article XXVI (4) of the Royal Instructions, I shall be glad to receive your approval of the bill before its introduction into Legislative Council.\n\nI have the honour to be,\nSir,\nYour most obedient, humble servant,\n(... buttare\nGovernor.\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE\nMALCOLM MACDONALD, M.P.,\n&C.,\n&c., &C.\n\nPage 3\n53971\n\n## Initial Comments and Approvals\n\nC.

This was understandable in the already much overcrowded circumstances of HK., but as the Sov. point out in this telegram, there is no justification for imposing a similar requirement on refugees desirous of returning to their own homes.

Looker in this country to advise them. Mr. Looker was head of the principal legal firm in Hong Kong for very many years, and was an M.P. here in the 1920s for a short time, and is a past President of the China Association. He has had one or two interviews with the Department, and urges on us that the leaseholders (who will be supported by the Unofficial Members of the Legislative Council) will maintain their objection to any solution which openly includes a demand for a further payment of premium as a condition of a new lease: that will be a point of principle with them. But he thinks they would accept a solution under which the new rent on renewal might be something rather more than would be actually justified by re-assessment according to the current rate of Crown rent for the locality, and would include something extra in consideration of the premium which would normally be payable on a strictly fresh lease. This latter suggestion is the one which is embodied in the draft despatch now submitted.\n\nI invite attention to Sir Geoffry Northcote's letter to me No. 12 in this file, in which he says that a point of principle is really involved in this problem in Hong Kong which requires to be considered in relation to Colonies generally where early leases will sooner or later be running out, and the matter of the terms of their renewal will be coming up for decision on points of principle. Personally I feel that a decision on this small group of 75 year leases in Hong Kong need not affect or be affected by the broad questions of principle which may have to be considered over a wider field.\n\nNs 26/2/41  \n22.2.41.\n\nThe despatch at 18 was held up. I was to attend to it at once. Further action was arranged with ... 18 To A King 34. I thought it better not to let him know the line taken in case the Governor was not willing to accept the S.JS.'s suggestion.\n\n# Page 11",

        "content_text": "27\n\nAl B Mr. Taylor has spoken to me about the draft reply to No.52. I am afraid that we cannot comply with the Crown Agents' request. When I drafted the Order I was told that it was required to validate payments already made by the Crown Agents with the approval of the Secretary of State, for the purposes specified in Clause 2(1). I accordingly inserted Clause 6, which gives the Order retrospective operation from the 26th of December, 1941, and which is quite sufficient for this purpose. I was not told that it was necessary to validate any payments made by the Crown Agents without the approval of the Secretary of State. If such payments have in fact been made they cannot now be approved under this Order.\n\nFurther, I understood that every payment or every class of payments, which it was intended that the Crown Agents should make under Section 2 would be specifically approved by the Secretary of State, and under the section as it stands, the Secretary of State cannot, in my opinion, give a general approval for application of Hong Kong moneys for any of the purposes specified in that section as respects either past or future payments.\n\napproval of payment date of the order still necessary to validate a class given later will hold good It is with additional 28.10.42. Ae Babon has more bases levied xoge So that if any particular payment 26/12/42 has been made d. C. A without S.JS, authority there the matter will have to rest unless the O-in-C is amended. We must give the C. A. authority to use the intent on the Exchange Fund. I presume that much can be done under this Gray, but it is not clear to me now what we may do.\n\nM. Roberts Wray. E.

Director of Audit is correct in saying (see (10)) that the general approval given by the S.JS to the 1949/50 estimates, in which were included certain transfers of funds (see pages 98-9 of the Estimates enclosed in (13) opposite, and compare with the Schedule to the Ordinance), is not sufficient, particularly as no reference appears to have been made to the matter in the covering despatch (see paras 40 & 642-48 of (13), the only relevant parts), opposite which are the changes made.  \n\nThe Governor now seeks approval for the transfers themselves: $5 million from the Railway to Buildings ($3,615,000), Claims & Compensation ($350,000), and Waterworks ($400,000), and $365,000 from Public Works. The transfers from the Railway to Waterworks seem to me not surprising in view of the great difficulties under which the railway has been operating and the magnitude of the Tai Lam Chung waterworks project.",

The meeting should be kept quite short I think.\n\nThe Governor Hong Kong will very shortly be receiving the telegram which is going out to all Far Eastern colonies on the question of the treatment of Japanese assets which we discussed yesterday. That should not, however, materially alter Hong Kong's ability to make a modest contribution to the needs of its less fortunate brothers in the Western Pacific who suffered in the Japanese war.\n\nI am preparing a note of this morning's meeting but meanwhile, as instructed, I submit a draft to the Secretary of State for informing him of the present position.\n\n...to who will attend the meeting Der 7 of Mr Hall's ...
