During that interval they have reclaimed Land and erected wharfs and Buildings upon them with the knowledge, and implied sanction of two succeeding Governors Sir John Davis and Sir George Bonham. If these authorities had entertained any idea of the necessity or importance of the Work now proposed they would undoubtedly have given some intimation on the subject.\n\nIt could not now be attempted without great loss to the Owners of the land and a strong case of necessity therefore ought to be shown to justify it. I submit confidently that not only does not any necessity exist but that the policy is not in favor of the measure. There are places of loading and unloading for the public along the Praya front and cargo cannot be carried uninterruptedly along the Sea front by reason of the Barracks and the measure could only therefore be partial and as I conceive unattended by any considerable benefit.\n\nOn the other hand the cost of the works must be very large. It seems to me that under no circumstances could it be undertaken without indemnity to the existing holders whose collective outlay is very large and this together with the expense of the Work would make it a costly undertaking. In the meantime there are works of real importance, which are delayed for want of funds and which should be undertaken with the first available means.\n\nOn all these grounds I humbly submit that the proposed measure should not be undertaken at all events without much more enquiry.

They all three have known him in his two-fold capacities. Too \n\nsubjected the prisoners to such cruelty will be severely censured by the Government; but we may believe, Gentlemen, that it is without the knowledge of Mr Mercer or H.M. Government. I treat with disdain the insinuations thrown out against me by Dr Bridges, as I feel assured my character is too well established in my \n\nry at the time in question. The 4th has been proved by Mr Duddell and the boy. The 5th, a servant to the Consulate of this Colony. Further, the 7th and 8th prisoners by Mr Daddell and several of the Chinese witnesses. The 9th has been identified as Alum, the Master of the Bakery. The 19th has been recognised as having been suspected as an assistant at the retail shop.\n\nsome time reproaches have been cast upon the Government for not meeting the exigencies of the present crisis with adequate spirit; and the great question in every one's mouth, and has not yet died away, is not \"martial law proclaimed!\" And now that a little vigour is being shown, we are denounced for cruelty and injustice!\n\nIt is not hard to conceive why a different course should be taken, or that in the present disturbed state of the Colony, Asiatics should not be allowed the same privileges as Europeans. Is it not consistent with all that is passing around us to assert that the awful crime perpetrated was by the influence of the Mandarins? And who can hear of the atrocities that have been committed towards Her Majesty's subjects without shuddering, or after the rewards that have been offered for the head of any European without distinction as to his standing by the Chinese authorities at Canton, would not infer upon them as having been the signs of the late attempt to poison this entire Community? And yet, forsooth, the Counsel for the prisoners has told you, Gentlemen, that it is wrong to accuse the Mandarins of being the instigating source. It is a fact that might pass current up to Peking.\n\nThe darkest crime the Newgate Calendar contains bears no comparison to the case now before your notice, Gentlemen. What reward, I ask you, do you think the prisoner Alum would have received, and what could have induced him to have committed such a diabolical attempt? It has been argued that the prisoner's affairs were in a hopeless state of bankruptcy. What would have been his reward? Do you not think that had his crime been successful, he would not have been a high Mandarin at Canton, and that if the crimes that had been conceived to have been committed by him in his countrymen's eyes would have been wiped out, and the past forgiven for ever? Would any one have disapproved if a different course had been pursued towards the prisoners, and instead of allowing them a trial, which such wretches do not deserve, they had been dealt with in a summary manner, and had suffered the short and sharp pangs of death which they had intended we should suffer? Their crime deserved the fate of a traitor's count; but much, Gentlemen, as you may agree that they are before a jury as laid before you, I am bound to tell you, if any reasonable doubt of their guilt rests upon your minds, you are bound to acquit. \"But, Gentlemen, it will not be your duty to stretch the points set up for their defence to too great a length, and in the opinion I feel certain the Bench will concur.\n\nIt was Gentlemen, who advised the Government and Mr Mercer to conduct the investigation as they did. Had the case been sent to the Police Court, what would have been the consequences? Why, the various technicalities of the Law would have led to postponements from week to week, and such postponements would have been most deleterious to the ends of justice. The investigation, I affirm, required to be carried on with the utmost secrecy, or the Government would not have been able to obtain information sufficient to convict them. It is much to Mr Mercer's credit that he came forward and acted as an extra official in his capacity of J.P. at the investigation; and the Government have acted most judiciously in the course they have adopted. The investigation was held in a manner...and that is the reason why it was held. Every means has been adopted by the Government to find out any facts that might transpire, and to bring the diabolical attempt made against this Community home upon the heads of the perpetrators of it. And again, to commit the prisoners at the bar, and not encumber the Justices of the Peace whose hands were full of business.\n\nThe manner in which the case has been conducted is highly creditable to Messrs Mercer and May, for the pains they took to elicit the truth. They obtained evidence sufficient as they thought, and though, to commit the 10 prisoners...\n\n5. The reason the prisoners have been detained by Government being Government is because they are considered improper persons to be at large among the community by Ordinance No 2-1837. I hope either this explanation or no further reflection may be past over Mr Mercer's conduct. I also trust that the report published in our papers this morning may be found to be exaggerated, and that those who are guilty of the alleged cruelties will be brought to justice. At all events, I can assure you, Gentlemen, that I know nothing about it.\n\nI propose now to call your attention to the leading facts of the case as it has been placed before you, and you will not feel wearied, I hope, if I endeavour to point out to you how the various evidence given during the last three days is connected, and how that although the Counsel for the prisoners tried to rebut the evidence, he has rather gone to strengthen the evidence of the prisoners' guilt. I alluded to my opening address on the 1st day of the inquiry, in which I intimated that I would be bringing before your notice such a body of proof as it would be impossible to disprove; and we have done so. Though I must herealong express my thanks to Mr Comper Turner and Mr May for the valuable assistance they have rendered.\n\nHaving cleared the way so far, the learned Gentleman said that as they all were connected with the shop on that day, they must have all connived at the poisoning of the bread.\n\nAnother contract to supply H.M. Commissariat with 100,000 lbs. of bread, and another to supply the U.S. Stores with 108,000 lbs. of biscuit. To do all this, Alum had only $1220 in the chest, and 8,000 lbs. of bread on his premises. Mr Duddell's and Mr Foster's connection with Alum's business is curious. There is to be a partnership between them.\n\neven tells you that when Alum was arrested, he did not consider himself in debt to Alum to any large amount; and you see at the present time he owns himself considerably in his debt. He does not know how the accounts stand. They have been running on for years. There was never a balance struck between them. It was a running account. There is my story in a nutshell - a miscellaneous business.\n\nto me about this manner of carrying on business altogether! \n\nThe great evidence of Mr Pastan, their Cheque de Bataille, who does it all amount to? Moonshine - for you heard yourself how the man quaverated over it, and that what evidence he did give was forced from him by me. I extorted from him by my cross-examination that Alum did not pay him voluntarily, and, Gentlemen, may he not be allowed to draw inferences from facts? So much then for the temptation to commit the crime - it was irresistible. What inducement might Alum afford to sacrifice his brilliant position here when before him stood the bonus of $9000 and the button of a Mandarin of the third class? Wait - (the learned gentleman was here checked by Dr Bridges, who protested most emphatically upon any draft on the imagination - there was not one word in evidence of any reward having been offered - not a word of a Mandarin's button). The Attorney General continued - True - nothing had been given in evidence regarding the reward beyond the rumour alluded to by Mr Dawson - but the jury and the Court could draw inferences when they were evident from the evidence, and inferred from the mass of incoherent perjuries that had been given in the defence.\n\nthe proportion to have been a drachm of arsenic to a pound of bread. If so, there must have been 10 lbs. of arsenic put in the quantity of bread that was baked, and it would be impossible for any one to have mixed that quantity unknown to the overseers, and without the knowledge of those in charge and employed in the shop. At the same time, he asked, had their conduct been such as to leave any doubt regarding their guilt? Dr Harland has informed you that he analyzed the bread and found one drachm of arsenic, but 6 grains in every pound loaf; and by this fact, as elicited, strong presumption that if Alum did not put the arsenic actually in the flour himself, he must have known of its having been put in. I have traced the bread to Deimspier, and I proved that he was poisoned by it. Now, Gentlemen, you must agree with me, I think, that a prima facie case has been established by the Crown. You have, Gentlemen, proof before you of Alum's having been at the bakery on the 14th between the hours of 4 and 6 a.m., at the time the dough was mixed. You have the fact that when the bread left the shop for delivery on January 16th, Alum and his family were attending in the shop. If you believe the evidence you have heard, can you suppose they knew nothing about the poisoning? Another remarkable feature is that poison was found in both white and brown bread delivered. The poison could not have been mixed in the yeast or in the flour, for the most careful tasters would have detected it. Then it must have been mixed up with the dough. Mr Drinker tells you that he left Alum in the dark room at the very time that the men were employed mixing the dough there, and one of the prisoners' witnesses confirms these facts by admitting that the dough was mixed that day at 4 p.m., the very hour of the prisoner's visit. Another stronger proof of Alum's knowledge of the poisoning is that after being told of Aheep's unwillingness to give evidence at the Coroner's inquest on the body found on the Thistle, (Alum) did not dismiss him from his service, but took him into his more intimate confidence, and placed him in a higher post of trust.\n\nMr Tarraut tells you how he warned his servant, as he saw Aheep on that day cavorting in such a situation of trust, though too late, not to take any raw bread from Eating-op, as he had his suspicion that Aheep was concerned in and had conspired at the Thistle massacre. You have thus brought home to Alum, then, the fact of his having been present at the mixing of the dough used in making the bread, at the very moment when the 10 lbs. of arsenic were being mixed up with it; you have this further fact that the dough of which the confectionary was made that day, probably the very dough of which Alum's children's bread were made, was not poisoned. Dr Harland discovered that fact, and I think this body of evidence irresistible.\n\nAlum made his grand stand to prove his innocence, upon his intention to remain - the condition of his affairs, the contracts he had entered into, and the amount of property he held in Hongkong. But the Attorney General knew that he hazarded little when he told the Jury on the last day that he would refute the evidence for the whole of the prisoners - but he would call the attention of the Jury more particularly to the chief prisoner, Alum, and leave the residue to their consideration hereafter. In Alum's statement, he says he had no intention of leaving Hongkong. Now Mr Dixson said Alum had said he thought he should have to go to Singapore. Mr Da Silver, too, told me that Alum told him he thought he meant to leave Hongkong. At Mauzow, the head pirate concerned in the old last robbery was fortunately captured on his way to Singapore, and there is very little doubt that the prisoner Alum was on his way to that Ultima Thule. He told Mr Stephanson he was not going; to Mr Edwards, he said the same. This, Gentlemen, I am about to tell you is an extraordinary fact - that upon Mr Edwards appearing suspicious at Alum's conduct, he at once concluded a contract for flour and bought it at an exorbitant price, paying Mr Edwards for the higher price, he being reminded.\n\nAlso, he knew the punishment that awaited him if he remained home to settle down, and that if he did not take the signal proof to show the Mandarins he was no friend of the Barbarians.\n\nTo remain in Hongkong, we have heard repeatedly. The mat maker received the order from Mr Stephenson 18 days before he returned it again dishonoured, and if Alum's circumstances were in such a flourishing state, why did he not pay the $250, the amount of that order? I wish to know how he could go and engage to supply the Commissariat with 100,000 lbs. of bread and the United States with 108,000 lbs. of biscuit on the very day he had not enough money in his possession to buy the first bill, unless it was in case the poisoning failed and he was taken, and to help Alum in his defence.\n\nThe papers, or title deeds, as Dr Bridges has called them, which were found in the chest are not in his name. They belong to the Cheong tribe, of which he is a member, (but not to him in all trust). It is probable that the $1200 which were found there too did not belong to him, but to a relation, and therefore he dared not touch it. But these papers prove nothing. It is in evidence that the last receipt for rent is sufficient proof of title to land in China - and where is the last receipt for rent? He knew that his family were not safe from punishment while he was in Hongkong; he knew that there were 63 Mandarins in Hongkong; he knew that while he was in Hongkong, he was in the midst of a set of robbers; and, Gentlemen, as I have stated before, without committing some heavy crime against the Barbarians as a proof of his allegiance to the Mandarins, home he dared not go! So much then for the motives recognised as great efforts of virtuous reparation.\n\nNow let us look to his conduct after the crime was done. Was it the conduct of an innocent and unconscious man? He departed in haste for Macao. On his way, he was bailed from a boat by a man he knew well on that morning of the 15th January; he turned his hand away, so that he should not be seen 50 feet from him. But he took the bread on board. That person you heard was not more with him, forsooth a Chinaman does not eat bread, you know! Why, then, did he take nothing but bread on board the steamer for his family - and why on that day did he evince such a partiality for bread? Mr Mackenzie has told you that during the 13 days that Alum has been in his custody, he has never eaten or asked for bread. He says that when his family were taken sick, he sent one of his servant boys to tell the Captain of it, which the Captain has denied, and if his statement is true, why has the refutation not been produced in Court? Gentlemen, you see plainly he sent no message; he could have spoken if he had wished to the gaoler through the bars, or to some of the officers; you naturally suppose from the evidence of the child's sickness being so much for his defence that they were only slightly sick, as the nurse has told you that she and they were quite well after...\n\npayment should not be made until the month of landing in Hongkong. Of the Chinese, Gentlemen, the prisoner Alum knew when he made that contract that before that day became due, he would either be a dead man or a high Mandarin in Canton.\n\nhave been brought before your notice - none have suffered the same effect as Europeans. They have had good...of the pains - none of the symptoms of arsenic with which the Europeans have been afflicted, and, as you have heard, not recovered from the effect of it. The Chinese constitution can allow them a day or two, as he was \"hard up\", might be so very different from that of ourselves, as these circumstances are very remarkable. You, Gentlemen of the Jury, are bound to believe that he told the truth about his intention of leaving this Colony. Do you doubt for one minute that a Chinaman could blind the Chinese? Are not the Chinese spies everywhere - is it not a well-known fact that we cannot keep a secret from them? What should keep him is such I dread at the particular time Mr Edwards called - were not his sons...\n\nhave been old that they would state, Is it not remarkable that Alum's statement satiates the inquiry and blunts \"the European with the low burning of the Chinese!\" But that statement has been proved to be false. You have heard that...\n\nhe owes. Mr Edwards a larger sum of money - to Mr Foster, he owes $900, to Mr Pastan $15,000. To Mr Edwards and Mr Stephenson, he is also indebted to large amounts. He boasts that he had one contract in hand, 27,000 lbs. to 8,000 lbs. of biscuit to Messrs Tao, Bang & Co.\n\nespecially Mr Cooper Turner, who wants constantly going up and down stairs? You heard his services without either fee or reward, and I have great satisfaction in saying that to Mr Forney, he did have taken more pains or spent more time than he has done in making some of the information which passes.\n\nThere is plenty of unprincipled prisoners, and the fact that the bread came from the Eung shop on the 15th Jan. and the connection of the shop and the bakery, have been fully proved. The 1st prisoner has been identified by Mr Wray, and Mr Lopraik, as being in and belonging to the shop on the morning of the 16th January. The 2nd has been proved by Mr Dixson...\n\nto be able to take poison and quickly be a little sick afterwards. Again, Gentlemen, who ever heard of a Chinese waiting till 11 a.m. before he had his breakfast, and at that very breakfast to betray such a marvellous passion for bread? You may suppose from this that it was either a falsehood that the people were sick, and it must be that it was maly sea-sickness.\n\nMr Robinet has told you that when he arrested Alum, he, Alum, said, \"Any man have dishonoured Hong Kong, must...\".\n\nThe whole of Alum's statement, Gentlemen, although well got up, you can now see is a tissue of perjury. The indictment is similar in one point of view to that of Whalley at the York Assizes of 1817; namely, that the abject attempt made has been signally exposed by the medical testimony. There, the radical evidence exculpated the falsehood of the charge - here, it establishes its truth. Yet this case is far stronger than that. There, the only thing that saved Whalley was the manner in which the prosecutrix described the symptoms of her pretended suffering. Doctors Thackrah and Walker declared they could not have been the effect of arsenic. The arsenic was found in the testes, and in the several tampons which the prosecutrix had contrived to produce...\n\nthat the...\n\nShe had mixed the arsenic with poisonous substances besides, and upon being cross-examined, she has confessed she had done so to convict Whalley of the pretended rape. Here, in the present case, the Chinese that profess to have suffered have not said it as plain to every man that Alum's statement is a perjury throughout. Gentlemen, I do not take an interest in their conviction, or that I can treat such men as these impartially. Notwithstanding the taunts and unmanly interruptions to which I have been subjected...\n\nThe learned Gentleman had just before been interrupted by Dr Bridges with an emphatic expression at some passage - it was not; and as the Doctor's words were in the teeth of the Judge's notes, Mr Anstey remarked that though Dr Bridges had fact for his authority, it was unmannerly so to express himself - and that as he had not fact for his authority, it was detecting an epithet he would not bestow on it.\n\nI have, I am sure, in indicating the difference between a real and a pretended case of poisoning - the guilt of the prisoners, Gentlemen, is established by their own defence; and I feel certain if they are acquitted, the Chinese will look upon the British Authorities with contempt. You have seen one man, Aheep, who was present at the Thistle massacre, escaping the ends of justice by the technicalities of the British law; and soon after, you find him uding in attempting to perform another tragedy only on a larger scale. Gentlemen, a clearer case of guilt could never be arrived at by circumstantial evidence; and I fear assured you will find it your duty to convict.\n\nBut I will not attempt to conceal that I have an anxious presentiment as to the probable result. I will not allude to the several unmanageable circumstances that have attended the defence; but I fear that I have not said sufficient to clear away the glamour thrown over your eyes by the opposing Counsel. I repeat, I am doubtful as to the result; and if it should be that you return a verdict of acquittal, I can but tell you that I feel such a verdict will be a great - an unappreciable calamity in this small community. We have first the commission of a great crime, and for that crime, no punishment. Such a verdict would set a precedent in this Colony. Let it once be seen that the law is power...\n\nlet it be established in the Chinese mind that this Court has not the power to check deeds like those unless they are convicted, and carried into execution in the trust or the most public place - then, no longer is the life of a European safe in the Colony; and it will not require the skill of the prophet to number the days of those now present. And there will be another calamity, or rather, (for it exists in some sort already) - it will be made strong and enduring again! The impression is that our administration of justice is corrupt, that our criminal jurisprudence designs not the chastisement of the great men of Tai-ping-shan, and deals only with low and petty offenders; that the laws of England have no terror in their threats for men wealthy and wise enough to submit to the exactions of their prosecutors, and that a judicious prodigality in the matter of fees and costs will always purchase immunity. If the opinion is unfounded, be it your part, Gentlemen, to disabuse them of their error.\n\nThe Attorney General here resumed his seat, and it must have given him great satisfaction to hear by the stamping of feet that the public felt thankful to him for the pains he had taken to bring the guilt home to Alum and his fellow prisoners.\n\nThe Court adjourned for 18 minutes, and on resuming, his Lordship, the Judge, addressed the Jury to the fact that it would be their duty to expunge from their minds anything they might have read or heard outside the Court. Alum had been shown to have been at the bakery the afternoon of January 14th, while the dough was being mixed, and if the Jury thought that he had mixed the poison, or ordered it to be mixed, or had any knowledge about it, they must adjudge him guilty. His Lordship then read over the whole of the evidence and Alum's statement (which will be found below), after which he said, if they were of opinion that it was false about his family being sick, it would be prima facie proof of his guilt; as if, on the contrary, they thought they had been poisoned, there would be a prima facie reason for believing him innocent. This, however, was for them to judge. His Lordship then said that as the Attorney General had explained every part of the evidence so clearly to them, it would be useless for him to go over it again. The Jury retired then for 30 minutes, and on their return into Court, returned a verdict of Not guilty by a vote of 9 to 4, which was received with hisses.\n\nThe Judge looked at the Attorney General, and the Attorney looked at the Judge, but as the prisoners were acquitted, they must be discharged. Before they left the hall, however, they were again arrested, and taken to gaol as suspicious persons.\n\n## ALUM'S STATEMENT.\n\nCheong Alum, his statement - being duly cautioned, saith - With regard to the poisoning of the bread, he is entirely ignorant - but the bread is made in one part of the oven, and he lives in another.\n\nTo Mr Dawson, he said - he never had any idea of doing such a thing, but just declared the contrary. To him, he had pretended that it was only a pigeon, and that a little medicine would make all proper. But what is incoherent and bewildering. To the same Mr Dawson, he also confessed that the reason why the offer of the 60 dollars was made to Cheung, had been because...\n\nthat he having eaten of that morning for Macao, was considered on board, as an argument of his guilt.\n\nHe came to the Colony at only 18 years of age - he was first employed by Mr Bigelow, whereby afterwards went to California; after that by Mr Franklyn; then by Morrison, Stephenson & Co.; then by Mr Da Silver, for whom he made biscuits, as well as did other business. He some time afterwards purchased a machine for making biscuit, and then another from Mr Daddell, for $1,800; and as these were insufficient, he purchased sugar...\n\nSee back, page No. 17.\n\nIndigen.\n\nLogsp.\n\n10030 Trong không \n\nGovernment Offices, Hong Kong \nof the Tophers in 1875 \n\nThe Chief Magistrate having applied for certain Law Books as will be seen from the enclosed: his letter to the Colonial Secretary, I have the honor to request that...\n\nThe Right Honorable \nHenry Labouchere, M.P. \n...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-064 - Sir Bowring - 1857 [8-10].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 242334, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-064 - Sir Bowring - 1857 [8-10]", "page_number": 220, "title": "CO129-064 - Sir Bowring - 1857 [8-10]", "content_text": "Despatch No: 218 and an Answer to it (as they tell the story) and to Enway\n\nIn Labouchere's recommendation that the expenditure be sanctioned.\n\n26 Nov\n\nAnnexed vom No 2\n\nGovernor Sir John Bowring\n14th September, 1857\nVictoria, HongKong,\n\nThe Rt Hon Henry Labouchere M.P.\n\nInclosure No 136.\n\nReceived 25 August 1857.\n\n60 Convicts to Canton on the Recurring Transportation of\n\nThe sanction of Her Majesty may be moved for this expenditure.\n\n24 Nov\n\nI understand that this practice is to be discontinued by Command.\n\nThe best course will be to send to the Treasury at the same time the Governor's previous despatch.\n\nEntered Gov 106 20th Nov\n\nAir Charles Trevelyan Mr-B.\n\nDECR 2\n\n| MINUTE | \n| --- | \n| Mr McElliot | Millerivale | \n| RC Fortescue | MR Calabashar | \n| W.

Rogers, printed at page 253 of the appendix, reports \"that these instances of virtual slavery exist entirely in the brothels for Chinese, where the women are seen by their own countrymen, and not in the other houses which are frequented by foreigners.\"\n\nThe report, at page 47, states the intention of the Government to have been that the Ordinance of 1857 should be worked with the aid of the whole body of police, but indicates that the then superintendent having set his face against the Ordinance, and not having (to use his own words) \"permitted the police to have anything to do with the control and supervision of brothels under the Ordinance, being apart from the general objects of police duties, and from the great probability of its leading to corruption,\" it came about that the office of Inspector of Brothels was created, and fell into the hands of inferior men (Rep., pp. 47, 48).\n\nThe power of visiting and inspecting registered brothels was, by section 7 of the Ordinance of 1857, vested in the Registrar-General (who had some months previously, by Ordinance 6 of 1857, been created Protector of the Chinese) and the chief officers of police; and it is evident, from the wording of the section, that these powers were distinct, and proceeded upon other grounds than the sanitary inspection of the women by the medical officers.\n\nA similar distinction is to be found in the 10th section of the same Ordinance; and these powers of supervising registered houses were again distinct from the provisions relating to the prosecution of unregistered brothels, matters which it was obviously meant should be dealt with by the police in the same manner as other breaches of the statute law.\n\nThe attitude, however, which the police were allowed to adopt towards the Ordinance appears to me to be one of the causes which frustrated Mr. Labouchere's humane intentions; and as soon as the object was thus lost sight of which induced the Secretary of State to desire that these establishments should be \"under the eye, and in some measure under the control, of the Government,\" it not unnaturally followed that the special provisions of the Ordinance came to be regarded as little more than machinery for the detection and suppression of unregistered or unlicensed brothels. And as the police, who, I presume, are acquainted with the character of the houses in their several beats, seem to have given little assistance towards the enforcement of the law in these particulars, it is not surprising that the inspectors, whose means of obtaining proofs was likely to be less complete, should have been driven to extraordinary devices for procuring evidence in the cases which in the discharge of their duties they found themselves required to bring forward. It seems, indeed, from document No. 32, printed at page 225, that there need have been no difficulty in identifying unlicensed houses, for on that occasion, in 1866, ninety-four were detected in two nights without the aid of the inspector.\n\nThe system of informers paid to obtain evidence by personal intercourse with women, which was introduced in 1860 simultaneously with the appointment of inspectors (p. 10 of Report), was a revolting abuse, which you most properly put a stop to as far back as the month of October 1877.+\n\nThe Commission is dated 12th November 1877, and the report December 1878. It was, therefore, scarcely necessary for the report to have contained so full an analysis of the cases in which this discontinued system had been employed, or the many pages of proceedings in such cases which are printed in the Appendix.\n\nTurning to the medical side of the subject, I may observe that the report seems to me to pass over somewhat too lightly the horrible circumstances which gave rise to the discussion which led up to the Ordinance of 1857, and to attach, at least, as much weight to Mr. May's recollection of matters which occurred 20 years before as it does to the official reports written at the time, and not all printed.\n\nAt page 33 the report states that, in the absence of returns prior to 1857, the framers were not in a position to compare the state of things which existed before and subsequent to 1858. That \"the letters from the Naval Medical Authorities and the Colonial Surgeon contain deplorable accounts of the health of the men under their charge. On the other hand, Mr. May, who was then in charge of the Police Force, has told us that, before the Ordinance of 1857, we had no great cause to complain; and that his attention was not drawn to any very special virulence in the nature of the disease either by fact or by any person;\" and the same paragraph quotes other passages from his evidence to the same purport.\n\nThe Appendix, p. 204-207, contains naval reports, all showing the frequency and aggravated nature of the disease. I notice especially Captain Hoste's letter of 18th October 1854, and its enclosure, from which it appears that in 1853 and 1854 the crew of H.M.S. \"Spartan\" contracted syphilis in Hong Kong in the proportion of 5 and 6 per cent. of the ship's company; while in Macao, where supervision was exercised over prostitution, the per-centage of cases was only 2 per cent.; and Admiral Stirling's letter of 7th March 1855, and its enclosure, reporting that one third of the crew of H.M.S. \"Winchester\" was affected during the year 1854. These numbers do not cover the whole of the evil, for the tertiary affections and the aggravation of other diseases by syphilitic taint are not mentioned.\n\nThese reports do not mention the police; but the Colonial Surgeon, reporting on the 7th April 1856, states: \"The police, both European and native, labour under the disease in a most frightful form;\" and in a later report, dated 28th March 1857, he states: \"I beg to assure you that among the police and sailors of Hong Kong, some of the worst forms of the venereal disease are to be seen.\" Neither of these reports is printed in the Appendix; the first is enclosed in Sir John Bowring's despatch of 2nd May 1856; the other in that officer's despatch of 20th March 1857.\n\nAmong the enclosures to the despatch No. 69, is a short minute by Colonel Caine, the Lieutenant-Governor, in which he speaks of the disease \"which has hitherto caused ravages too fearful to detail, not only in our naval and military forces, but also in the population generally.\" Also a memorandum by the Chief Justice, Mr. Hulme, in which I find him saying, \"when I consider the frightful extent to which the venereal disease is prevalent in this Colony, its virulence, and the frightful ravages it commits.” The Colonial Surgeon, Mr. Dempster, of the Army Medical Department, in his report in the same dispatch, says, \"I have now the honour to state, for the information of his Excellency the Governor, that during my experience I have never before witnessed, in any station where I have served, such ravages inflicted by the disease on persons affected with it as in this Colony. I beg to state that almost every sailor admitted into the Seamen's Hospital with fever, bowel affections, &c. is also affected with the venereal. In the jail many of the Chinese prisoners are affected with the disease in a most virulent form; and, as to the European prisoners (mostly sailors), nearly all are affected.\"\n\nThen follows the sentence above quoted about the police, and the report proceeds: \"I have had under my care female prostitutes (picked up by the police in the streets, and evidently turned out by the brothel keepers for the purpose) suffering from the disease in the most shocking form I ever beheld. Death at last put an end to their sufferings.\" Speaking of merchant ships, he says: \"In one instance a captain had shipped eight seamen; he put to sea, and in a few days returned with the said crew, totally unable to work the ship, being fearfully affected with the venereal.\"\n\nThe Colonial Surgeon then proceeds to contrast this state of things with Gibraltar, where he had ascertained \"the benefit derived from sanitary rules.\"\n\nThese official records, none of which are printed in the appendix, show plainly the state of things which existed before 1858, and fully deserved to have received equal prominence with the opposite view which rests upon Mr. May's recollection, especially as these records are further supported by a letter from Dr. Pottinger, R.N., dated 28th December 1870 (printed appendix, page 282), giving his vivid remembrance of the state of Hong Kong in this respect when he served on the station in the ship \"Reynard\" in the years 1849-50-51, and by another letter (also appendix, page 282) from Dr. Ramsay, of the 75th Regiment, speaking of that officer's recollection of the Colony in 1857. Both of these letters contrast the very different state of affairs existing in 1870.\n\nThe correspondence connected with the passing of the Ordinance of 1867 and the latest records on the subject are free from such painful statements.\n\nThe only two European medical men examined testify to the same effect. The first, Dr. Ayres, says (answer 1,439) that the disease (syphilis) which he has seen is of a very innocent type,", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-188 - Governor Hennessy - 1880 [5-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 335889, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-235 - Public Offices - 1887", "page_number": 505, "title": "CO129-235 - Public Offices - 1887", "content_text": "# DRAFT\n\nW.O 22605\n\nThe Under Sec? of State for War \nHong Kong \n\nOur 501 \n21 Nov: 87 \n\n**MINUTE**\n\nMr. Fronde 19 Nov \nMr. Dekobeck 19 \nMr. Wingfield \nMr. Bramston \nMr. Meade \nSir R.

As stated, however, in Mr. Labouchere's letter to Dr. Yeh of 25th April, the case has been duly tried in a properly constituted court of law and on the evidence produced, the two Chinese have been found guilty by a jury of assault with intent to rob, shooting with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, and possession of arms and ammunition without licence. In the circumstances, it is not within the ability or competence of the Embassy to express an opinion in the matter, particularly as they have no first-hand knowledge of the facts. They would nonetheless at least suggest that the exact place and circumstances of the affray would be material factors and that in any case, even if a plea of superior orders were sustainable, it would have to be proved that the act in question (and its time, place, and objective) was in direct response to specific orders. In this connection, it has already been stated that the Governor of Hong Kong sees no reason to doubt the soundness of the decision reached at the Criminal Sessions of the Supreme Court on 22nd March. The Ministry will, moreover, have duly considered the letters addressed on behalf of the Hong Kong Colonial Secretary to the Secretary of the office of the Commissioner for Kwangtung and Kwangsi on 20th February and 13th March, which explain the reasons for which the Government of Hong Kong were not in a position to respond to the latter's request for the release of the two men concerned or for the handing over of the crew of the junk also involved in the incident.\n\nIn the communication of March 13th, it was stated in this latter connection that three fishermen suspected of being responsible for the shooting of the two dead companions of the two men concerned had been charged with manslaughter and with possession of arms without licences in the New Territories and therefore in the jurisdiction of Hong Kong.\n\nThe Embassy are at the same time able to assure the Ministry that the Hong Kong Government are fully prepared to meet the desires of the Chinese authorities with regard to the return of the weapons stated to be the property of the Kwantung Peace Preservation Corps and have already in fact given instructions for them to be handed over to Dr. I.N.
