If any new private instructions have been given to Contractors or others to set aside this Government order. 2. If not, it is a high disgrace that Government should allow its servants to employ labourers on public work on a \"day of rest.\"\n\nI merely state what I saw almost under the windows of our Lieutenant Governor's house and opposite the house of the Registrar General and the Collector of Police &c., several Chinese workmen were employed in repairing the road; lower down the street, near the house of the Attorney General, and just outside Formosa, on the 24th instant, spoke the American brig \"Getes,\" whose gang of workmen were busily employed in setting up the large iron gates at the bottom of Gough Street.\n\nVox Populi is not admissible on the ground, amongst others, that the writer falls into the errors which he condemns. In addition—the letter is anonymous.\n\nJ.

The undersigned offers notice that parties who have any articles which were taken at Cowloon will immediately return them to this Office. Officers are requested to state their names, or that they have returned all to this Office.\n\nBy order,\n\n(Signed) JOHN KING, Captain,\n\nTown Major.\n\nTOWN MAJOR'S OFFICE, 25th April, 1857.\n\nThe officers naturally felt annoyed at having such accusations made against them, and their several replies are amusing enough. They run thus:\n\n1. \"Have nothing—I never took anything.\"\n\n2. \"I have not stolen anything.\"\n\n3. \"I have not stolen anything.\"\n\n4. \"Seen.\"\n\n5. \"Not a legal question—stole nothing.\"\n\n6. \"Stole nothing.\"\n\n7. \"Stole nothing.\"\n\n8. \"Stole nothing: the two hats Dr. Bridges said there was no bar in taking. I have already returned.\"\n\n9. \"I have stolen nothing.\"\n\n10. \"Has stolen nothing.\"\n\n11. \"I took nothing away from Cowloon.\"\n\n12. \"I have not stolen anything.\"\n\nThis was not all; one of them afterwards wrote a letter demanding an apology under the threat of \"court of inquiry.\" We have not this intermediate correspondence, but the fellow who signs himself \"X X X\" in the China Mail, has said, so it has come to pass, the Registration Ordinance is progressing, and we have an altered and amended—if not improved draft copy of the Ordinance in the last Government Gazette.\n\nThe Band of the 59th Regiment will be performing to-morrow on the Parade Ground, weather permitting, at 4½ p.m., the following pieces:—\n\nMarch—\"Souvenir des Alpes\"—Leitzer.\n\nPolka—\"Jalve.\"\n\nSelection 4—\"Quadrilles Mouton.\"\n\nWaltz—\"Auf dem Lufte, Gung'—Strauss.\n\nGallop—\"Corsa\"—Kulorer.\n\nWe beg to return our sincere thanks to His Excellency Sir John Bowring Knt. LL.D. &c. for so kindly furnishing us with the precis of the contents of the papers taken at the attack on Cowloon, &c.\n\nBetween that and \"stolen\" there is a mighty difference in the minds of some people. We will illustrate the difference by telling the following story:—A Leith wine merchant whose business had been declining, and upon whom a strong desire for military fame just at the same time fell, was glad to take service with Don Pedro when he contended with Miguell for the throne of Portugal.\n\nIt would have been for him had he in the course of his universal acquirements stumbled upon the precaution of the good Chamundas; or had looked nearer one at the protector-te of Olyfe the hammer, when the community was governed without Laws. Back leginnion, however, was not suited to the busy, meddling mind of Wilmi le Teary. On the contrary, he conceived that the true wisdom of legislation consisted in the multiplicity of laws. He accordingly had great punishments for great crimes, and little punishments for little offences. By degrees the whole surface of society was cut up by ditches and fences, and quickset hedges of the law, and even the sequestered paths of private life so hemmed by petty rules and ordinances, too numerous to be remembered, that one now] could walk a large within the risk of having off a spring-gun or falling into a man-trap—\"Knicker\"-bocker's History of New York.\"\n\nTo the Editor of the \"China Mail.\"\n\nThe COVENT, 1st April, 1857.\n\nDEAR MR.

It would of course be expecting too much from a man who was only a radical member of parliament any such liberality—that style of individual does not act in such a way. All his liberality is expended in clap-trap, and when the time of action comes, he is found to be nothing but a windbag—As for the Mail we could expect no courtesy from it in such a case.\n\nThe Coromandel returned to harbour on the morning of the 26th, from the survey of the rock on which the unfortunate Raleigh struck.

There is no staff of officials to carry it out.\n\nWe may therefore rest satisfied that the minds of the Chinese will not be undermined by this Ordinance, and the only bad effect of it will be to disgrace a British Statute book.

The steamer had followed them up to this place which it appears they have made their rendezvous for some time past.\n\nThe result of a sharp and successful contest was the complete defeat of the Pirates who were compelled to retire, having about 200 killed, wounded, or prisoners, in the hands of the assailants. We have not heard of any serious casualties to any of the Sampson crew.\n\nXI.

The Museum proper has received large additions to many of the most important groups of industrial objects. Mr. Sim, of the Furnace Quarries, Argyleshire, has completed his systematic series of blocks of granite referred to in last year's report. Macdonald, of Aberdeen, has presented three polished cubes of Aberdeenshire granite, and a vase of the Peterhead syenite has been obtained by purchase from his works. Messrs. Lawson and Son, of Edinburgh, have sent a large instalment of the building stones of Scotland; and Mr. Hog, Jun., of Newliston, has made a gift to the Museum of neatly tooled examples of the sandstones of Humbie and other quarries in Linlithgowshire.\n\nSpecimens of Cornish granites, of serpentine, of Caen stone, Aubigny stone, and of Welsh slates, have been received in gift from the Royal Commissioners of the Exhibition of 1851; and three interesting examples of the effect of town atmospheres on limestones, as illustrated by the case of St. Mary Redcliffe Church, Bristol, have been presented by Mr. Godwin, architect, through Professor Volcker, of Cirencester. Mr. Alex. Bryson has placed in the collection large flagstones from the Welsh quarries, and Dr. J. Ivor Murray has added a valuable suite of examples from several of the ancient quarries of Egypt as well as from other eastern localities, including carved steatites from China.\n\nThe department of useful minerals has been enriched by many important additions. In the shape of donations the Museum has received from the Duke of Buccleuch a full series of the Wanlockhead lead ores, lead, and collateral products, including mining tools, and illustrations of the different stages in the smelting process, which Mr. T. B. Stewart, of the Wanlockhead Works, has been at great pains to render complete. From the Royal Commissioners of the Exhibition of 1851, massive specimens of the ores of iron, lead, copper, zinc, and cobalt. From the Rev. Alexander Russell, of Adelaide, South Australia, large samples of the Australian copper ores. From Mr. James Napier, of Partick, Glasgow, a collection of the copper ores smelted in England, with illustrations of the steps in the smelting process. From the proprietor of the Kinneil Ironworks, Linlithgowshire, through Mr. John Begg, ironstones, cast irons, and slags. From Professor Henry Rogers, now of Glasgow University, a number of specimens of the American anthracites, which this gentleman was at the pains to collect for the Museum in their native localities and to bring with him to this country.

T. MERCER, Colonial Secretary.**\n\n## NOTICE\n\nEMIGRATION OFFICE, HONGKONG, 20th December, 1860.\n\nWhereas much ignorance prevails in this Port as to the Law and Regulations affecting Chinese Passenger Ships leading to perpetual reference, by Ship Masters and Merchants, to the Emigration Officer, for information on matters of ordinary detail and standing Rule: and whereas the Laws and Regulations alluded to are contained in various Imperial Acts, Local Ordinances and Proclamations and decisions of the Emigration Commissioners on matters arising out of the working of the system since it came into force:---(some of which documents are not easily procurable by the parties interested) it is therefore considered expedient by the Emigration Officer to publish in a condensed form the Rules in force in this Port relating to all Private Chinese Passenger Ships and Passengers, and as far as the provisions of the Imperial Act are concerned, to Ships chartered by a British Government Emigration Agent.\n\nAny vessel clearing with more than 20 Asiatic Passengers, on any Voyage of more than 7 days duration, is a \"Chinese Passenger Ship\" under the Act.\n\n1. The Ship laid on for passengers, the Master will notify the Emigration Officer by Letter of the fact, specifying the estimated number of passengers she can carry by Surveyor's Certificate, her destination, and the name of the Licensed Passage Broker employed.\n\nNote. After which, the Emigration Officer will take an early opportunity to inspect Ship.\n\n3. When the full quantity of passengers' provisions is on board the Master shall notify the Emigration Officer of the fact, who will as soon as possible thereafter, go off and inspect them.\n\nNote. The provisions must be all placed in the Tween decks or on the Upper deck, and not be stowed away in the Hold, until after inspection.\n\n9. When the Ship is ready to receive the passengers on board the Passage Broker will bring a written notice to that effect from the Master, when a time will be fixed for the attendance of the passengers at this Office to have their contract passage tickets explained and signed, in the presence of the Broker or his deputy.\n\nNote. This notice must be given at least 24 hours before the passengers appear at this Office, and on the same day the Master, with two approved sureties, will attend and execute the Bond under Section 1 of the Chinese Passenger Act 1855, and deposit the following documents :--\n\n1. Government Surveyor's Certificate of measurement and seaworthyness,\n2. Master's Certificate relative to Chinese Doctor (provided he fails in securing an European Surgeon for a reasonable remuneration.)\n3. Certificate under the Chop seals of two Chinese apothecary's Shops, vouching for competency of Doctor.\n4. List of provisions and medicines, according to the scale laid down in the Act, signed by the Master.\n5. Certificate of a resident Physician that he has examined the medicines, that they are good, and in accordance with the requirements of the Act.\n6. Passenger List in duplicate, with a Summary attached, specifying the numbers respectively of, Passengers under the Act, Cabin passengers, Crew, including Master and all persons on Ship's Articles; shewing total number of souls on board. Signed by Master.\n\nNote. Chinese Cooks, Stewards, Interpreter, Doctor, &c. are invariably passengers, berthed and fed with the others, although borne by Law on the Ship's Articles, for purposes of discipline. In future, their names, with their rating on board, will appear at the end of the passenger lists, and they will be included in the gross number that the ship can carry, but numerically they will be entered, as heretofore, under the head of \"Crew on Ship's Articles.\" About 4 Cooks and Stewards to every 100 passengers has been the rule.\n\n4. Either at this time or after the passengers are collected on board they must be inspected individually by a resident Surgeon, who must also inspect the Crew and give his Certificate that, none appear, by reason of any bodily or mental disease, unfit to proceed, or likely to endanger the health or safety of other persons about to proceed, in such Vessel.\n\n5. The Master will give notice when all the passengers are on board and when he wishes to clear for Sea.\n\nNote. The Broker must personally assure himself that every passenger is on board and report to that effect, after which the Emigration Officer will proceed on board, muster and count the passengers, and make a final inspection of the Ship.\n\nAfter this is done, and not before, the Ship is at liberty to shift her berth, if it is desired; the Master mentioning the fact to the Harbor Master; who will then deliver to him his Emigration Papers and Port Clearance.\n\nIn the fitting up and equipment of Chinese Passenger Ships the following general Rules will obtain\n\n1. Ships with full complement of passengers, shall carry boats according to the following scale, of size and description approved by the Emigration Officer :--\n\n| Registered Tons | Number of Boats |\n| --- | --- |\n| Less than 200 | 3 |\n| 200 to 400 | 4 |\n| 400 to 600 | 5 |\n| 600 to 1,000 | 5 |\n| 1,000 to 1,500 | 6 |\n| 1,500 and upwards | 6 |\n\nNote. In every case one boat must be a properly fitted Life boat, and one a Long boat.\n\n2. Ships must carry at least 2 Life buoys, slung, prepared for sudden emergencies.\n\n3. In the absence of a Forcepump and Hose, reaching fore and aft, a Ship must be provided with not less than 3 dozen buckets, in case of fire.\n\n4. Every Hatchway leading into passengers' quarters must be covered by a well secured House about six feet high, having as much ventilation as is compatible with strength, and being water tight. The Hatches are not to be used during the voyage unless stress of weather demands it.\n\nNote. When women are carried, they must have a separate hatchway entrance, apart from the Males; and the Male and Female quarters must be divided by a strong bulkhead with no door or aperture in it. The Female quarters must be aft, as also the Water closets for their use.\n\n5. The Berths, Cooking cabooses, Water closets, &c., must be all properly secured; and the Master must provide himself with two or three spare rice boilers, as they are very brittle, and liable to accident.\n\n6. In the very important particular of ventilation, the Government Notification `No. 51` of the 22nd April, 1856, is republished here, being not generally known.\n\n## GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION No. 51\n\nIt is hereby notified for the information of Masters of Ships carrying Chinese Passengers, and unprovided with the improved Appliance usually found in Vessels of modern construction, and generally for the information of all interested, that in addition to a Windsail for every hatchway, it is required that a constant supply of fresh air be ensured to the between decks in bad weather, by fitting, at each end of the Space set apart for passengers, two Funnels of wood or metal, Four in all, with moveable heads, in manner following, that is to say, the body of the air Funnel to reach from underneath the lowermost deck overhead to a height of 3 or 4 feet above the uppermost deck, and to pass through holes cut for the purpose in either side of the deck, and made water-tight by a canvas coat or other suitable means.\n\nThe attention of the Emigration Officer has been called to the above regulation.\n\nBy Order,\n\nColonial Secretary's Office, Victoria, Hongkong, 22nd April, 1856.\n\n**W.

Sir P. Abercrombie \n## Mr. Eastwood \n\n10 \n\nThe Governor of Hong Kong asked in the telegram at No.1 on this file that we should try and get a town planning expert of high repute to visit the Colony and consider the replanning of the cities Victoria and Kowloon. He suggested that we should try for Sir Patrick Abercrombie. \n\nAfter consulting the Ministry of Town and Country Planning we telegraphed to the Governor (No. 12) suggesting that if Sir Patrick Abercrombie himself were too busy to take on the job, we should try another man recommended by the Ministry, Mr. James Stewart. The Governor, however, replied that he attached great importance to getting a man of the standing of Sir P. Abercrombie. \n\nWe do not yet know whether Sir P. Abercrombie will accept the mission but it seems desirable to get a C.D.W. scheme made to cover the cost of the visit as soon as possible so that there need be no delay if he does accept. \n\nAccordingly I recommend for approval the attached application for a C.D.W. grant of £900, to cover the cost of the visit including the fee. The amount of fee would be reduced if a consultant of lesser standing than Sir P. Abercrombie has to be accepted. \n\n7.82. \n29.3.47. \n\nI have passed the Sigft. \n17. \n`C.D.W. A.

Young)**\n\nFROM **S. OF S. COLONIES.**\n\nSent 17th March, 1947. \n13.30 hrs.\n\n1. Your telegram No. `1561` of 1946. Town Planning Officer, Ministry of Town and Country Planning advise visit of Consultant to spend a few weeks in Colony and advise on what is involved in preparing a plan, kind of planning organisation most suitable and give an indication of general lines. Visit would be followed by appointment of a Planning Officer for 2 or 3 years to work out detailed plan.\n\n2. Sir Patrick Abercrombie is at present on short visit to Cyprus. I do not know whether he would be prepared to take on Hong Kong enquiry. Cyprus fee is 500 guineas (repeat 500) plus travelling expenses.\n\n3. No other expert of comparable status now available, but Ministry of Town and Country Planning have suggested name of James A. Stewart, M.I.C.E., M.I.M.Cy.E., as suitable consultant. From 1916 to 1941 he was Deputy Chief and later Chief, Engineer to Calcutta Improvement Trust where he did a considerable amount of Town Planning, and has lately acted as an Adviser to the Ministry of Town and Country Planning. He has now retired, and might be willing to undertake this work.\n\n4. Please telegraph whether you wish approach to be made first to Abercrombie and failing him Stewart and an application made for grant from Colonial Development and Welfare Funds to cover total cost of consultant's visit.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-614-2 Visit of Sir Patrick Abercrombie to advise on town planning 28-11-1946 - 5-12-1947.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 } ]
