Sir, The vast importance of the Chinese Tariff requires that it should be reduced to English weights, measures, and monies, for the use of British merchants, and not having yet observed that this has beca done, I beg to trouble yon with such s table, toge- ther with a few observations upon the standard to be observed. \n\nThe definition and determination of the Chinese tael is ex- preased in several different ways. 1st. It has been generally in England taken to be one third of the pound sterling, or Gs. 8d., or 80 pence, making the mace its 10th, S., and the caudareen its 100th part, 8-10ths of a penny. This simple relation to our own money would be a great advantage to English merchants if it were fully established, but some, as Beawes, make the candareen Ed., reducing the tael to 62. 3d. \n\n2ndly. It is now, however, for the most part compared with the Spanish dollar. Thus the latest and perhaps the highest sathority, that of Mr. Pope, in the Yearly Journal of Trade for 1843, states 72 taels to be equivalent to 100 dollars. The Spanish dollar is commonly estimated at 4s. Gd., but her Majesty's proclu- mation (Yearly Journal of Trada, 1840, p. 391), issued for the West Indies, makes it equivalent to 48. 2d. The tael, therefore, will be 6s. 3d, if we take the former, and 58. 94d. if the latter, for our guide. \n\n3rdly. It was originally compared with the Chinese silver coin called mace, and their copper coin called cash, but the mase has been long disused; 1000 cash were once equivalent to one fuel, but the depreciation of these coins by deterioration of the metal and reduction of their weight, so amply illustrated in the highly interesting and most authentic work of Mr. Davis, has now rendered the tael equal to a much greater number of cash. By Sir Henry Pottinger's Hong Kong proclamation of the 29th of March, 1842, 1200 of them are declared equal to one dollar. In weight I have found them vary from about 85 graina troy to twice as much. Du Halde says that the French sou is equivalent to the 100th part of the tael, that is to the caudareen, and also that it is equal to 6 cash, instead of 10. \n\n4thly. The Chinese tael is a weight, and has its value expressed by European weights, either avoirdupois or troy, and this is the truest mode of determining its equivalent in fine silver, seeing that the references to English money do not agree, that dollars differ materially in value, and that the Chinese cash are still more different from each other in their weight and quality. Measra. Gordon and Crawfurd, in their admirable treatise upon Chinese commerce, give a table stating the tacl is equal to 1 1-3 ounce avoirdupois, or 579.84 grains troy. These, unfortunately, do not agree neither, for 1 1-3 oz. avoirdupois contains 437.5 and 145.8 1-3 grs., or 583.3 1-3 grs, troy, and not 579.84. Again, Beawez in his \"Lex Mercatoria,\" states that the tael was 1 oz. 2 dr., of course troy weight, which in 480 and 120, or 600 grains. The editor of \"Mortimer's Commercial Dictionary,\" in his “Universal Commerce,\" p. 64, says 100 taels should weigh 120 oz. 10 dwts. troy, or 57840 grs., or the single tael 5734, which is less than any of the above. He says, also, that 100 Spanish dollars should weigh 68 13 dwts.; that is, 42,552 grs., of which we take the 72nd part, according to Mr. Pope, the tael comes out 591 grs. Now, 16 taels make a catty, and 100 catties a pecul; all autho- rities, I believe, concur in making the pecul 133 1-3 ib. avoirdu- pois, or the catty I 1-3 B., for which reason I prefer taking the tael as 1 1-3 oz., or 183 1-3 grs. The English crown piece, or N. is so nearly an avoirdupois ounce that if we could make this the standard the tael would come out as at first 5a, and 20d., or 6s. 8d., or 80d.; but in China all silver coin is taken as bullion, and the duties of course will be paid in fullion. The real value of the tael must, therefore, be sought in the market price of stan- dard silver. This, at the present time, I find to bo da. 1110. per ounce troy, which is almost exactly 48. 6d, the ouuoo avoirdupois, or 6s. the tacl; and I have accordingly made this my standard in the following table, wherein I have reduced the Tariff to English weights and monies. I prefer this to taking the market price of the dollar, whether Mexican or Spanish, new or pillar, and using the multiplier 1,204, because I consider that the term \"syees” means \"perfectly pure.\" This word I believe to be originally Chinese, although the characters used by the Chinese to express it do not indicate its proper etymology. I have no doubt that it was originally, in the orthoepy of Morrison, \"tsuh sih,\" or \"full quality;\" but the characters commonly used for it mean \"fine silk,\" expressive of what minoralogists would call it's \"lustre sating.\"* \n\nI cannot conclude without suggesting that, at the present low price of copper, 1000 tona, costing 70,000Z. or 80,0007., might advantageously be coined into Chinese cash, weighing each a 1-3 gra. This would greatly relieve the distress of the neighbourhood of Swansea, and supply Hong Kong and the Chinese with a good currency during the present and the next generation; for, if neatly executed, it would be universally coveted and hearded up in abundance, and would be a good payment for tea, instead of opium. On one side of the coin I would have the words \"Victoria Regina,\" and on the other, as usual, “perforated token,\" with \"Iong Kong\" instead of the Emperor's name. \n\nBristol, Oct. 14. \n\nI am, Sir, your obedient servant, \n\nSAM.

Jardine has been able to do so.\n\nAB. 22/4/48.\n\nI do not understand the Governor to suggest a reduction: nor can I see that the Memorialists establish any good reason for such a course.\n\nIt can be done either by Customs Duties or by direct Taxation: the former would run the risk for which it is intended, and therefore the latter is indispensable. But of the two kinds of direct taxation the most automatic would seem to be the Auctioneers' Fees, which the Parties have fixed for themselves by bidding them in open Market.\n\nThe real truth is that there is evidently a lurking desire to throw the expenses of the Race on Parliament, but I cannot see why the People of this country should be taxed to find accommodation for the Merchants who carry on their wealthy Trade at Hong Kong, any more than for those who conduct their Business on the Banks of London or on the shores of the Mersey.\n\nIn all situations equally free to be despatched, from within a very narrow space; and of course the People who make fortunes by conducting it in a vast trade must pay prices for the land which is indispensable to facilitate their clique.\n\nWith regard to the duration of leases there might perhaps be no objection to extending their terms to 999 years. The first step would be to refer this matter to Messrs. Caine & others at whose hands all the past Transactions were attended.\n\nBorham's (I think) Instructions relate to Women's subject. The last as rendered by S.

We set sail from Pih-ke on the 3d day of the 3d month, (6th April,)\n\nThe following morning, the 23, I went on board the [captured fishing junk; examined her and found that nearly everything moveable had been taken out except two boats. The hatches were lifted up, and a few tubs of live fish alone remained. I observed bound for Chin-hae to fish, where we arrived in the 4th month. We had papers from the Tacping Custom-house, and had our fishing tackle on board. We were armed with 2 matchlocks and 2 small guns about an inch in diameter and three feet long, as a means of defence against pirates. The Junk was above 900 piculs burden. The owner Kwo-kin was on board. During the last month we made two trips\n\nOne shot struck\n\nThe examination of JOHN CHARLES PITMAN, Esq., Commander of Her Britannic Majesty's Sloop of war Childers, taken on Oath this Twenty-ninth day of June, on the Year of Our Lord One Thousand Eight Hundred and Forty-eight, before me, Rutherford Alcock, Esquire, Her Britannic Majesty's Consul at Shanghae aforesaid, in the presence and hearing of Mariano Alvesto, native of Manila, Juan Nasieu, to the fishing ground off Poseu, the tides being favourable twice in a month for that purpose. On the 19th day of the 5th month (19th June) we again left Chin-bae in company with other fishing boats to the number of some twenty or more; but on account of our junk being larger than the other boats, they outsailed us, and we were left behind. On the 21st or 22d day (21st or 22d June) when sailing alone under Yung-shan, we suddenly saw a foreign vessel astern, which was coming up hailed us; we did not understand what they said, but we answered that we were a junk from Chin-bas, belonging to a Hong there, as we could prove to them if they followed us in. We said this, being fearing that they might think we were pirates, and might attack us.\n\nI then went to the Spec, and I told the master to muster the crew and shew the articles. The prisoner who now answers to the name of Ephraim Francis did not answer to any name in the articles.\n\nI saw being only one of the crew, I do not know the name of it, though I know the parties conducting it by sight. I asked what had become of the crew of the fishing junk and he answered, they were in the fore-hold. I ordered them on deck, and they were brought up, some of them with their hands tied; several were badly wounded: these I examined with the Surgeon of the Childers. I asked Mr Cole if he had examined the papers of the junk? He and the [Chinese] pilot pointed out the master of the junk, who produced the papers sewn inside his jacket. I told Mr Cole I should take as many [of the junk's crew] as he wished on board the mandarin junk, and recommend him or his mate to be present and hear the evidence. Everything was taken down in writing.\n\nWe had heard that two foreign pirates, but beyond that knew nothing about them. vessels were employed to protect the fishery from\n\nI asked the crew of the fishing junk what had become of the cargo, their clothes, &c. they answered, The rice, arms, and several boxes, had been taken on board the Spec, and Mr Cole pointed several out as the property of the junk. I asked if they had been plundered? They said, Something had been taken on the junk. I asked if they had been ill treated? They said, Five had been killed, and some thrown overboard. They then rushed below, made all of us fast, and passed us up on deck. I saw them throw overboard Kwo-kin's dead body. Kwa-nae, being in great agony, was calling for some one to put him out of his pain, and I saw one of the foreigners thrust at him with a sword and throw him overboard.\n\nI also saw the foreigners take up Kwo-fun in order to throw him overboard, but he struggled with them, caught hold of the bulwarks of the Junk. They then cut him down and threw him overboard, and among others [one] who is now here, having received injury from a grape shot in the foot. He stated that if this man in his feverish state was left on board and that his life would be in danger. I therefore said he should be removed to Shanghae, and brought him on board.\n\nI told Mr Cole to pick out two of the men of the junk, and either come himself or send his mate; he sent the mate the pilot of the Spec and Dr Rogers round among the prisoners, he pointed out the prisoner answering to the name of Ephraim Francis, and said I am certain this is the man.\" [R.A.] Two others of the crew, Kwo-wei-tow and Kwo-ming, are missing, but I do not know what became of them. Before throwing Kwa-kin overboard, they took from his neck a silver chin. After having thrown the bodies overboard, they searched the vessel and took away a box-pillow belonging to Kwo-kin which contained his opium and smoking apparatus. about six stone of rice, of which they afterwards returned two, and\n\nHe asked the junkmen a great many questions— pronounced them to be innocent, and wished them to be released. I asked what should be done with the arms, if I should return them to the junk? he said they had a right to a certain number for their own protection; that half should be given back to the crew and the other half he would keep. He requested that the junk and any property belonging to them which might be on board the Spec should be restored to the liberated men, and asked them where they would go? and they replied, To Chin-hae direct, to represent their case to the authorities. I told him that I should take the Spec to Shanghae.\n\nI asked if he had any complaint to make against the Spec? He said she had no right there no right to fire into the junk, and that English vessels were constantly doing the same. I stated that I regretted it exceedingly, that it was contrary to the laws of England, and if he could point out any other vessel similarly engaged, I should feel it my duty to take her. In reply he stated he was equally sorry for it, but it was a very bad affair.\n\nOn the morning of the 22d June, standing up for the Ruggeds in H. M. Sloop Childers, I observed a schooner in company with a Chinese junk standing in for the south end of the Ruggeds,—it falling calm we were obliged to anchor between two or three miles from the schooner. The schooner and the junk anchored in a bay where there were three men-of-war junks; the schooner afterwards went alongside the junk and began discharging every thing out of her; a quantity of useless things, such as planks, matting, &c., floated past for several hours, and was reported to me by the officers. I weighed about 4 P.M. and proceeded to where the schooner was at anchor, and I immediately sent an officer on board the schooner, Mr Berkeley, to desire the master to come on board with his log and papers. Mr Cole, now present, came, I asked him if he was the master of the schooner Spec? He answered, For the time being; also asked him what he was doing there, and what reason he had for molesting the junk? He then stated that he had taken her the evening previous; that she was a pirate. I asked him what authority he had for doing it? He answered, None, but the Pilot had told him she was a pirate. [I asked him as he sailed so well why he did not go alongside of her, instead of going ahead as he stated and firing into her, as it was well known a Chinese junk would not have escaped, and that he ought to have hailed her and said he wanted to examine her.—R.A.] He voluntarily stated that several [of the crew of the junk] had been killed and wounded by their shot.\n\nI asked him if he was aware of the serious consequences of what he had done? and he said, No—that he saw no harm in it, that the same thing had been done before. I asked him repeatedly if the junk had in any way molested or interfered with or fired at him? He distinctly said, No. I asked him why, if the junk was a piratical vessel, he had not called upon me or the Chinese war junks to take it, as I had been in sight more than 14 hours? He said he did not know.\" I asked him were he had captured her, he said a short distance from where we had anchored in the morning to the Westward. I asked him why two boats were alongside? and he answered they had been assisting in towing her in. Those two boats immediately saw us approaching, sailed away towards the Chusan Group—they had obviously been taking the plunder from the junk. As the ship's company for several hours saw the more valueless contents float past,\n\nI told Mr Cole that he had committed a very serious offence, having by his own account killed and wounded several Chinese subjects, and that it was my duty to detain him. I asked him where he was from? He stated from Ningpo. Where he was bound? he answered, Nowhere he was going to look for his consort the Dido. to supply her with Powder and Shot. I asked him if he did not know that he could not be sailing about without being bound for some port: he said. He did not. Asked whether he had put in for stress of weather? and he said, No. I then referred to his articles, and asked him why his name was not there, as he represented himself to be the master of the vessel? He stated he was only there for a time while some one was sick.\n\nI then said I should examine his ship the following morning, and asked him if he had any papers to shew what brought him there? He said he had one.\n\n*The names of the Seamen are so illegibly written, that we are by no means certain all of them have been correctly deciphered.—ED. C.M.\n\nI then returned to the Spec, and saw part of the arms of the Junk returned in one of the Spec's boats. I told Mr Cole that the junk's papers were all perfectly correct, that the men were innocent men, and they with their property must be immediately sent on board their own vessel, Mr Cole then turned to the pilot and said, \"What a nice mess you have got me into;\" and I then asked the pilot if he had said she was a pirate, and he replied, No—that he had only wanted to examine her. I asked Mr Cole who paid him? He said he did not know, believed he was put on board and paid by some Chinese merchants.]\n\nThe men of the Junk afterwards sent a complaint that everything had been taken out and the shot-holes were visible through their sails.\n\nthe few cash I had in it. These things I saw them take, but I cannot say of my own knowledge whether they took anything else. They then directed us to accompany them to Yung-shan, and when we approached the land, two boats from the foreign man-of-war boarded us, and asked for our papers which we shewed them, but they, not understanding them, took them on board the mandarin's junks of which there were several anchored under Yung-shan. One of the men-of-war boats returned again, and took two of our men, one a helmsman and the other a sailor, on board the mandarin's junk to be interrogated. in his cap, asked them when we had left Chin-hae, with what Hong we were connected there, what places we had been to, and what fish we had caught? These questions being answered, he then returned them the papers of our Junk, and told them they might depart, and that we might return again to our fishing. The two men were brought back on board our Junk in the man-of-war's boat; we then prepared to return to Chin-hae, but I was taken on board the man-of-war, where they told me that I should go with them to Shanghae, and that my wound would be attended during the time I was on board. I was treated with the utmost kindness to there.\n\nTrue Interpretation,\n\nHARRY S.

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

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

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

I left the village because the other people did. They left because the Police interfered. I don't know where Chui-apo has gone to. Chui-apo left me because I am too old for him. I am 63 years old.

The text includes various sections such as government notifications, news, births, marriages, deaths, and reports on typhoons and their aftermath.\n\n## Step 3\nTo begin proofreading, we need to correct obvious spelling errors, remove extra spaces, and fix hyphenation or line-break artifacts. For example, \"calancity\" should be \"calamity\", \"savo 'ticias\" should be \"said Ticias\", and \"prusion pond\" should be \"prisoner or provision pond\" but based on context, it seems \"prision\" is likely meant to be \"provision\".\n\n## Step 4\nRejoining broken sentences and restoring paragraph breaks where necessary is also crucial. For instance, sentences split across lines without logical reason should be merged.\n\n## Step 5\nThe text contains sections that need to be formatted into Markdown. Headers, sub-headers, bold types, and tables need to be formatted accordingly. For example, main titles should be preceded by \"#\", sections by \"##\", and bold text should be surrounded by \"**\".\n\n## Step 6\nFile references should not have any spacing inside parentheses, e.g., \"XCR (85)72\" should be \"XCR(85)72\". Page numbering lines, if detected, should be kept as they are, usually six lines in total, three at the page beginning and three at the end.\n\n## Step 7\nNewspaper texts might not make sense due to OCR errors in recognizing columns. Reorganizing them like a puzzle might be necessary to restore the original meaning.\n\n## Step 8\nData in tables should be properly organized to reconstruct the table format.\n\n## Step 9\nSome Chinese writing might start from right to left, and if such reversal is observed, the text should be reversed to meet modern reading habits.\n\n## Step 10\nThe output should be in HTML using for paragraphs and \n only if absolutely necessary.\n\nThe final answer is: \n\nAge\n\nherself and infant daughter, were\n\ncalamity Entirely\n\ncut off.\n\nThat the said \"Ticias smithers the month of January\n\nhundred and forty a proportion\n\nlowa\n\ndy creating\n\n\"\n\nby this\n\nfree\n\nof his to a\n\nprovision pond and the one mouth swore if such proportion been, paid fin cases.\n\nof his saying disabled (your) believes that her late husband would have been entitled to a pension during\n\nthe remainder of his life.\n\n\"That it has\n\nbeen\n\na\n\npetitione.\n\nto your Majesty's governmento always willing to take into consideration\n\nand render assistance to the survivors of\n\npersons killed in their device and a lit...\n\nwill be found on reference to the Police.

From the time of leaving and up to the 7 September, the Coolies were frequently beaten by the Captain and Chief Mate, and on one occasion, for a trifling offence, two men were lashed to a boom for six hours, kept without food, and one flogged thrice during the interval.\n\nOn the morning of the 7th September the treatment was unusually severe, though it appears the cause of this severity was laudable - the Captain desired to keep \"the persons of the Coolies cleanly\" - probably he had in view the melancholy loss of life from disease recently reported to have overtaken a number of Coolies bound to South America under similar circumstances. While they were being beaten, the Coolies rose en masse, armed themselves with knives and hatchets and with whatever they could find about the decks, from the Cook's galley, and murdered both the Captain and the book-keeper. At the same time, their rage against the latter being caused or at least increased, by an attempt to withhold from them the weapons they desired. Breaking into the Captain's cabin, they possessed themselves of the tools belonging to a turning lathe with which he was in the habit of amusing himself.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-034 - Sir Bonham - 1850 [9-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 231439, "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": "CO129-036 - Sir Bonham - 1851 [1-5]", "page_number": 224, "title": "CO129-036 - Sir Bonham - 1851 [1-5]", "content_text": "17\n\n21. 24/7\n\n3.

JARDINE, Esq., proposed, and SCARTH, Esq., seconded, the following resolution, which having been duly interpreted to the Chinese present by Mr Caldwell, was carried unanimously,—\n\nThat this meeting, convened for the consideration of matters seriously affecting the Public Interests of the British, Foreign, and Chinese sections of this community, views with alarm the tendencies of some of the recent legislative enactments in this Colony, especially that of Ordinance No. 8 of 1856, entitled An Ordinance for Buildings and Nuisances, whereby it finds that the Stipendiary Magistrates and the Justices of the Peace are invested with a jurisdiction, in some respects almost unlimited in extent, over household property and titles to land: \"That the asserted retrospective action of the Ordinance, by which are brought within its scope, not merely all houses and buildings commenced after its date, but also all such as, having been commenced before that period, were then unfinished, and even any house, commenced and finished no matter how long a time previous to that date, but upon which it may afterwards be found necessary to execute any alteration or even repairs, is highly unjust in principle, has implanted in the minds of the Chinese population feelings of insecurity with respect to tenure of property, and is inevitably calculated (as to our knowledge has already been the case) to greatly depreciate the value of such property in this Colony.\n\nThat in the opinion of this meeting, not only are the duties imposed upon the Surveyor General's Office by the Ordinance in question so numerous and minute as to render it impossible, with the present insufficient staff in that department, to carry out the Law according to the requirements of that Ordinance without serious delay and consequent loss to the public, but that an amount of absolute discretion and control as to the disposal of materials of nuisances and of buildings contravening the terms of the Ordinance under section 17 No. 8, increased and fortified by section 10 of No. 12, of 1856, is placed in the hands of and has been exercised by the Surveyor General, such as is dangerous to the common weal to be placed in the unfettered power of any one officer of the Executive.\"\n\nThe following resolution was then proposed by R. C. ANTROBUS, Esq., seconded by E. PEREIRA, Esq., and carried unanimously.\n\nThat this meeting begs respectfully, but in the strongest manner, to protest against the practice established by clause 12 of Ordinance No. 14 of 1856, entitled an Ordinance for Fees and Costs, whereby Costs of Procedure shall be recoverable by or in behalf of the Crown upon every judgment or decree at Law or Equity or in the Admiralty or Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction of the Supreme Court, whereby any Real or Personal Estate or any forfeitures or money penalty shall have been adjudged to belong or awarded to the Crown, and desires to record its opinion that by no portion of this community is litigation with the Crown resorted to, or likely to be so, save and except under circumstances in which such a course is unavoidable; and that consequently it regards such enactment as one of hardship and injustice to this community; while from the consequences which it entails, this meeting regrets that it is no longer able to recognise that dignity of position which is elsewhere customarily assumed under similar circumstances by the Crown.\"\n\nJ. D. GIBB, Esq., then moved, and D. LAPRAIK, Esq., seconded, the following resolution.\n\nThat as this community is in effect almost unrepresented in the Legislative Council, and as in the opinion of this meeting it is most desirable that the Government should be in possession of the views of the community before finally passing any Ordinance, a memorial be addressed to H. E. the Governor in Council, praying that in future every ordinance should be published in Draft at least three months before becoming Law, (as recommended by the Parliamentary Select Committee of 1847 on China Affairs,) except in cases of emergency, and that the meetings of the Legislative Council be made open;\n\nwhich was carried unanimously.\n\nProposed by T. C. LESLIE, Esq., seconded by T. A. LANE, Esq., and carried unanimously,—\n\nThat a Committee composed of the following gentlemen, J. Jardine, Esq., R. C. Antrobus, Esq., D. Lapraik, Esq., E. Pereira, Esq., Geo. Lyall, Esq., W. H. Bowra, Esq., be formed, for the purpose of drawing up a Memorial accompanied by the Minutes of the Meeting, to be laid before H. E. the Governor in Council, praying that he may see fit to amend the Ordinances referred to in accordance with the views expressed by this meeting.\n\nIt was then proposed by G. DUDDELL, Esq., seconded by Jons SCARTH, Esq., and carried unanimously,—\n\nThat a Colonial Committee be appointed by the Rate-payers, and that H. E. the Governor be memorialized to acknowledge the same as a medium of communication between the people and the Government.\n\nMr CALDWELL, at the request of the Chinese present, made a few remarks suggestive of the inefficiency of the Police Force, especially of the Indian portion of that body, and the great want of adequate protection both of their persons and property, which they wished brought before the notice of the Government, in order that the existing abuses may be corrected and it was agreed that the substance of these remarks should be embodied in the minutes of the meeting.\n\nA vote of thanks was passed to the Chair, proposed by R. C. ANTROBUS, Esq., and second by A. FLETCHER, Esq., and the Meeting then adjourned.\n\nF. W. LAWRENCE, Secretary.\n\nGEO.

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

The whole operation was effected with a loss of two men of the Fifty-ninth killed and about six wounded; the latter are doing, worth attention.\n\nOn the 14th I went over to the E-sing shop to have conversation with Ahlam about that contract only\n\nQuestion—Then Sir, do you mean to say you did not know that E-Bing had a bakery near the American Naval Store.\n\nAnswer—What have I to do as an Editor of Newspaper with B-ring's stores.\n\nI wanted to say that I know of a bakery being near the Dutch Fallyly were repulsed, and the Admiral bombarded the city from the Fort and the Niger\n\nOn Sunday night, the 18th instur, an attack against foreigners, us against their own Government, was made by large force of Chinese on the Dutch Fallyly were repulsed, and the Admiral bombarded the city from the Fort and the Niger\n\nIt is a remonstrance made by, know that E-Bing had a bakery near the American Naval Store.\n\nRead, however, distinctively, it shews the prejudices which have to be overcaico before English: Commerce can again take its fitting intration of laying, be had only put it up to deceive the mandrains, who had been troubling him.\n\nI told him, the garden and, after establishing his quarters in Jous WAY-fam stoward the Sultana, I know the Tee-to-tum fort, came down here on the 23d\n\nMARKETA—Notwithstanding the warlike operations which have been carried on since the departure of the Calcutta steamer on the 28 ult.

I was asked to interfere, but found I was powerless. I can produce witnesses to show the connection between Ma-chow Wong and Po Pak Shing's boat and family, and a witness to prove that the witnesses for the prosecution were bribed not to appear; I can also produce witnesses to show that Po Pak Shing is a notorious pirate, and I think the Commission can get evidence as to Shan-tung Wei's connection with Ma-chow Wong.\n\nWith reference to charge No. 3, I have to state that Mr. Caldwell made me acquainted with circumstances which I otherwise should not have known, viz: that he, Mr. Caldwell, had led a very wild life when at Singapore, that he was an outcast from his family there, and that he had fled from Singapore to China; that before entering into the Government service, he had had command of a boat manned by Chinese, employed in smuggling opium to Whampoa or Canton; that he earned money freely, and spent it as freely amongst the women at Canton, so much so that he acquired from them the name of Shang-kwei, which he told me meant \"teazing devil.\" The feeling held against him by Mr. Hillier was caused, as he imagined, by his having had connection with several Chinese women at the same time. The only other part bearing on charge No. 3 is his strict intimacy with Ma-chow Wong, from that intimacy leading him blindly into what may be assumed as a knowledge of other pirates. I wish to refer the Commission to my letter of the 20th July, 1857, written after the trial of Eli Boggs, as to the impression on my mind on this subject.\n\nAbout the 15th July 1857, when I was Acting Assistant Magistrate, I met Mr. Grand-Pré, who was Acting Superintendent of Police. He told me with an air of satisfaction, that he had a charge against Ma-chow Wong. He mentioned the incidents of the case which appeared to amount to a charge of confederation with pirates, and asked my advice. I told him that as the case appeared a good one, it was his duty to seize Ma-chow Wong's shops, and take Ma-chow Wong into custody immediately. He said he had made a diligent search for Ma-chow Wong, but could not find him. I recommended him to take personal interest in the matter, and indicated where I thought he could get information. He seemed equally anxious as I was to do all that was possible to apprehend him, and I left the case in his hands. The following morning, I learned from Inspector Jarman, that he had apprehended Ma-chow Wong, having met him at 10 o'clock that morning. I also learned from Mr. Jarman, confirmed by Mr. Grand-Pré himself, that he, the prisoner Ma-chow Wong, had been in Mr. Grand-Pré's house the preceding night, subsequent to the time he had promised me to devote all in his power to apprehend him.\n\nWith reference to charge 4, I can only speak from repute and general information.\n\nI now state, as I did in my letter of 20th July, 1857, that from my knowledge of Ma-chow Wong, for many years, he became, owing to his intimacy with Mr. Caldwell, of great power and influence in the Colony, that he exercised this power and influence especially in cases of piracy, that he became in fact almost an arbiter of the fate of those pirates who fell into the hands of the Police. He was the acknowledged head of the Sunon men or clan in this Colony, he had control over the class of fishermen who were mostly Sunon people, he payed a nominal sum for the lessee-ship of the Central Market, and he had directly under his personal control, the funds of the Sunon people, derived principally from landed property on Marine lot 16 in the Lower Bazaar. I believe from information I received, which information is contained in the letter of the 20th July, that Ma-chow Wong was in intimate connection with several well-known pirate chiefs, named Looka, Po Pak Shing, Shan-tung Wei, Tai-fai-ing, de woot, Momee-ma, and others. In January, 1857, two large and heavily-armed boats were pointed out to the Police by the then self-constituted local patriot. These boats were lying off the central part of the town, and were seized by the Police upon the information aforementioned. From what Mr. Grand-Pré told me, and from my recollection of the events at the time,—I was then Acting Assistant Magistrate,—Mr. Mercer directed Mr. Grand-Pré to refer to Mr. Caldwell as to the character of the boats. Mr. Caldwell went with Mr. Grand-Pré on board the boats, and because Mr. Caldwell positively expressed his belief from examination of the books and crew that they were reputable traders, the boats were released.\n\nFrom my recollection, I believe that the prisoners were again taken into custody upon the charge of a Chinaman, and appeared at the Police Court before the Justices sitting for the Stipendiary Magistrate. I do know positively that certain of the crew, Po Pak Shing, who was one of the first prisoners also, were apprehended on a charge made by a Portuguese, who positively identified Po Pak Shing as a pirate chief, and the others as pirates. That charge was investigated by the Chief Magistrate. Several witnesses were examined, and it appeared a prima facie case of piracy. After several remands, the witnesses for the prosecution were suddenly found to be wanting.\n\nThe prisoner, Ma-chow Wong, appeared at the Police Court on the 16th or 17th, and was admitted to bail, Mr. Caldwell appearing in the Court, and interfering in the case in the prisoner's favour. On the 18th of July, information was given to me upon oath, which led to my issuing a warrant for the apprehension of Ma-chow Wong, and search of his shops. The prisoner was apprehended and brought to the Central Police Station. On the 19th, or early on the morning of the 20th, some of these papers were examined by Tong Aku, the interpreter at the Court, in presence of Inspector Jarman, and I jotted down, in the shape of memoranda, matters as read to me by Tong Aku, which exhibited to me the bad character of Ma-chow Wong.\n\nTWELFTH DAY.\n\nFriday, 18th June, at 12 o'clock Noon.\n\nPresent,—All the Members.\n\nCHARLES MAY,—Recalled.\n\nSome few days before the examination, which lasted ten or a dozen days, I told the Chief Magistrate that I had some memoranda, and although not referring or relevant to the two cases before the Court, that I would place them in his hands, so that he might be acquainted with the matters therein stated. There were two cases before the Court—one taken exclusively by the Chief Magistrate, and the one which I initiated myself by the issue of the warrant, and in which I sat with the Chief Magistrate in the conduct of the inquiry. On the 18th July, after the information had been given, and the warrants issued, I went to the Acting Colonial Secretary, and exhibited to him the sworn information. I mentioned that the deponent was in extreme terror, but I believed it would be very difficult to induce the witnesses to come forward and give evidence in the case; that I knew that Mr. Caldwell's presence in the Court on the previous inquiry before the Chief Magistrate had been prejudicial to the interests of justice, and that seeing the importance of the case, and the well-known intimacy existing between the prisoner and Mr. Caldwell, that it was only proper he should not appear in Court. The Acting Colonial Secretary assented to this, and said he would intimate as much to Mr. Caldwell.\n\nThis was on the 18th. On the morning of the 20th, about 9 o'clock, I received a note from the Acting Colonial Secretary to the effect, that he thought it was advisable under all circumstances that the inquiry into the Ma-chow Wong case should be conducted by the Chief Magistrate. Before I answered the note, the Acting Colonial Secretary came to the Central Police Station, and I spoke to him on the subject of the note. I told him that I could not agree with him as to the advisability of my not taking an interest in the matter, because the Chief Magistrate had but newly arrived, and there was no officer of police willing and capable of conducting it. I instanced the incident as previously mentioned regarding Mr. Grand-Pré, and told him that I must insist upon going on with the case as I had commenced it, that I was reluctant to differ from him, and that if he thought it was a suitable plan, I would sit with the Chief Magistrate. From what the Acting Colonial Secretary said, I knew that Mr. Caldwell had imbued him with the idea, that it would be better I should not conduct the inquiry, having an antipathy to the prisoner. I was angry at the ridiculous idea, that I should be influenced by my presumed antipathy to the prisoner, and said that I had, from a long knowledge of the prisoner, a great dislike to him, and it was because of my knowledge of him I was so desirous to see the inquiry properly carried out, and that if I did not exhibit personal interest in the matter, it would be tantamount to the liberation of the prisoner.\n\nOn the 1st or 2nd day of the proceedings at the Police Court, the Attorney in the case, Mr. Stace, applied to the Chief Magistrate and myself for permission to see all the papers and books in possession of the Police, not at that time produced in Court, including those from which the memoranda had been taken. This was granted, and a time appointed for Mr. Stace to be at the Police Station with an Interpreter to make the examination. I know that the examination was made, for in returning that day from the Police Court, to the Central Police Station, I saw Mr. Stace, Mr. Caldwell, and an Interpreter, sitting in a small office at the Central Police Station, with the books and papers before them. Inspector Jarman was the custodian. The examination was not concluded the first day, and another day was appointed for the second examination. The following day, before the second examination, upon going to the Police Court, I found some books and some papers—the latter in Mr. Caldwell's hand-writing—which I directed to be sent down to the Police Station for the second examination.\n\nAfter the cases were committed for trial, and the deposition had reached the then Acting Attorney General, I had one or two conferences with that gentleman in reference to the cases committed, and I exhibited and read over to him, the memoranda that I have referred to. Previous to the trial of the prisoner, I was accidentally going out late from the Central Police Station, when I saw the Acting Colonial Secretary, and the Acting Superintendent of Police, in conversation; the latter spoke to me immediately I advanced towards him, and said, \"the Acting Colonial Secretary has directed me to deliver over the shops of Ma-chow Wong.\" I then spoke to the Acting Colonial Secretary, and urged that there should be no difference in this case from preceding similar cases, and I urged that the shops should not be given up, as it would have a dangerous tendency.\n\nPostponed till to-morrow at 12.\n\n(35)", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-068 - Sir Bowring - 1858 [5-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 244735, "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": "CO129-068 - Sir Bowring - 1858 [5-12]", "page_number": 477, "title": "CO129-068 - Sir Bowring - 1858 [5-12]", "content_text": "(45)\n\n474\n\n(44)\n\nshall, in the course of the investigation, endeavour to bring before the Commission persons who will testify to the facts I mention.\n\nAdjourned till 12 o'clock to-morrow.\n\n## FOURTEENTH DAY\n\nThursday, 24th June, 1858, at 12 o'clock Noon.\n\nPresent, All the Members, except the Honourable Mr Cleverly, whose place in the chair was taken by the Honourable Mr Davies.\n\n### ANGUS FLETCHER\n\n—Called and examined.\n\nI formerly had a partner named Innes, who has been dead many years. I believe Mr Caldwell was once in Mr Innes's employ. I do not know of my own knowledge why Mr Caldwell was discharged. I am one of the oldest residents in China, and have known about Mr Caldwell, otherwise than as employed by Mr Innes, for some time. I did not know anything of him beyond that he was a little thoughtless; this was nearly twenty years ago. I do not recollect having ever heard any accusation brought against him.\n\nI do not know under what circumstances Mr Caldwell left my late partner; he left before I joined him. I believe he was Clerk or Book-keeper with him. I never heard a word from Mr Innes, nor from any one else, as to the circumstances under which Mr Caldwell left Mr Innes's employ.\n\n[The Attorney General having been informed that neither to himself nor to any of the public could printed copies of the evidence be furnished, but that he was at liberty to inspect them in the room, and that copies of his own evidence would be furnished, requested that a minute might be made that he had not had any of the fasciculi since the third, and had therefore had no opportunity, and now should have none, of correcting in his own copy, and suggesting to the Commission for correction in theirs, such of the errors in the evidence as taken as he was able to correct, as well as of offering suggestions for examination of witnesses.]\n\n### CHARLES MAY\n\n—Recalled.\n\nGrand-Pré in conversation; and, I was then told, that the European Constable who had charge of Ma-chow Wong had immediately before made known that certain large bribes had been offered him by Ma-chow Wong. One of the bribes was offered to induce the Constable to allow the prisoner interview with Mr Caldwell. I did not consider the prisoners secure at the Police Station as I thought necessary, and him up to the Gaol.\n\nI did not know that the papers which had been sent to Government Office had not been returned to the Police until I heard of their destruction at Government Office, therefore the papers given up could only have been those belonging to the Kwong Yik Loong [Ma-chow Wong's] shop. I recollect that Mr Grand-Pré said that Mr Caldwell had, by, I think, a note which he had in his hand, applied for the papers of Ma-chow Wong, and I am not quite so certain, but I think Mr Grand-Pré said something about Dr Bridges having authorised their being given up.\n\nI am certain that some property remained in the hands of the police, and I have no doubt this property was given up by Mr Grand Pré, who therefore can give evidence upon it. I have asked both Inspectors, but they can give me no information upon this. I do not know whether I was at that time Acting Assistant Magistrate, or Acting Superintendent of Police. I endeavoured to find out who gave up the property at the Police Station, and the Inspectors have told me that they did not, and that therefore it must have been Mr Grand-Pré.\n\nI am certain that those papers given up were the Kwong Yik Loong papers, because the others have been destroyed. It now strikes me that I have heard that some of the papers, which were deposited at the Supreme Court, were given up, upon this head Mr Masson can give evidence.\n\nI think I can produce a witness who saw the first wife of Ma-chow Wong go into Mr Caldwell's house within the last two months. I did hear that Ma-chow Wong's wife had found a refuge in Mr Caldwell's house. I heard it from more than one; amongst others, from Tong Aku the Interpreter.\n\nAbout the notoriety of the pirate Po-pak Shing, Assow, that Police Court Interpreter, who told me more than twelve months ago that this man was a notorious pirate, can give evidence. As to the connection between Po-pak Shing and Ma-chow Wong, and the buying off of the witnesses, I hand in the name of a witness who can give evidence.\n\nI saw Mr Caldwell go into the Chief Magistrate's room with the bail, on the occasion of Ma-chow Wong's being bailed by order of the Chief Justice; this is the extent of my knowledge. I do not recollect how many bail there were, and do not know if the Chief Magistrate desired Mr Caldwell to be present on the occasion. I heard that the Chief Magistrate had had a communication with Mr Caldwell on the subject, but did not know what it was. On the night of Ma-chow Wong's apprehension on my warrant, I gave special orders as to his custody, and that he should be under the special care of a European Constable, to the exclusion of the usual Chinese Constables who watch the cells. At half-past ten o'clock at night or later, I went incidentally to the charge room, and saw Mr Caldwell and Mr...\n\nMr Caldwell himself told me that the boat of which he had command was manned by Chinese, he did not say by Europeans and Indians, I know from what he told me.\n\nCross-examined.—A man deposed at the Supreme Court that Ma-chow Wong had offered him $1,000, to abstain from giving evidence so far as it referred to the identification of the prisoners, the Captain of the boat I think. He had command at different times of two boats, one of which was decked, and I should think a schooner, because he told me of his having been nearly drowned in the cabin.\n\nI taxed my memory as far as I possibly could with regard to the memoranda, and I cannot recollect more minutely than I stated. The memorandum number 8 in Mr Caldwell's report does not agree with number 8 in my evidence; there was only one paper, as I have stated with regard to No. 9. There might have been one Johnson, but there was a Graham. I remember about Graham, because he was subsequently imprisoned for felony. He was Sheriff's Officer and robbed a boat. Now I recollect, there were two letters from the Kowloong Commandant, one to Ma-chow Wong, and one to his partner.\n\nI have not the slightest doubt that I told the Honourable the Attorney General what my impression was prior to my knowledge that the books and papers had been destroyed, that the books and papers of Ma-chow Wong which were at the Police Station had been given up. I remember the sailing of the Phoebe Dunbar with the deported persons. I was the Acting Sheriff at the time, and sent in a list to Government of all persons who were then in Gaol under warrants of Justices of the Peace or Stipendiary Magistrates, coming under Ordinance 2 of 1857, viz., persons dangerous to the peace and good order of the Colony. I have no copy of the list, and know that it is in the records of the Gaol.\n\nThere were other names on the list, put on by order of the Government, quite certain that I must have told other persons, but I cannot recollect whom. At the time of the taking of the memoranda, and up to the time of my knowledge of the destruction of the papers, I had not any idea that the memoranda would be a subject of import. The memoranda were written in a style in which I would write a draft for a letter; they were scribbled. It was singular that the memoranda were not destroyed. I am sure that Roberts told me that he had found about 36 guns on board the supposed Alma. I am not sure whether he said that Mr Caldwell told him that the lorcha belonged to him then, or had belonged to him.\n\nI do not recollect Mr Caldwell searching with me for the security papers in the gold dust affair. I have not the slightest recollection of his doing so. I had the general management of the deportation, being Acting Sheriff at the time. The list of persons to be deported was made out by me or by persons under my orders. I believe the list to comprise all prisoners of the classes before mentioned. I had no knowledge of any one fact relating to one prisoner more than to another.\n\nI made the seizure on Bonham Strand; those who could not find security, and were included in the list, were very likely beggars, but I can't say that they were. I do not think that Mr Caldwell was present when I searched for the security papers, after the petition had been presented. I think it was Roberts who apprehended the men.\n\nPage 474", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-068 - Sir Bowring - 1858 [5-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 244745, "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": "CO129-068 - Sir Bowring - 1858 [5-12]", "page_number": 487, "title": "CO129-068 - Sir Bowring - 1858 [5-12]", "content_text": "484 \n\n(64) \n\nmen by the Plube Dunbar.\n\nHad I received any such information, I should have applied to the Chief Justice in the matter, for a writ of habeas corpus.

He asked me, had I seen the prisoners in the case. I said \"No;\" then he asked me to go with him to the Gaol to see them. One of them was so young, and in fact such a child, that he thought it would be anything but justice to try him on a capital charge. I did go to the Gaol and saw the two prisoners, and this one, Lee Atong, was what we would consider in England about the age of 12 or 13. On referring to the depositions I saw very good reasons to conclude that he was not the guilty party, so I took him out of the dock and made him Queen's evidence.\n\nI have had no conversation with the Attorney General before he gave his evidence to the Commission. I am a little deaf, and can't hear distinctly, but apprehend the questions put to me.\n\nI don't exactly recollect whether Mr Caldwell was sitting on the bench at the time, but the conversation between Mr Caldwell and Mr Anstey was private, and I did not hear it. I remember that something was said about the application for bail standing over for a few days, I think Mr Caldwell was on the bench.

I think I recollect some entry in the Kwong Yik Loong books shewing a previous connection between that shop and the vendors of the sugar and blue dye, but I cannot say positively about this. There was documentary evidence, which shewed a dealing and an underhand dealing, on that particular day succeeding the piracy, from about early in the morning till about 2 or 3 in the afternoon, and the absence of that documentary evidence would weaken the case if tried now.\n\n## GEORGE COOPER TURNER\n\nCalled and examined. I recollect two clients of mine, Chinese traders 'Ng Aling and Chea Mun-kwong, being seized and thrown into Gaol under the Deportation Ordinance, in January 1857. They were arrested under the warrant of Mr Caldwell, I believe. I applied to Mr Anstey, then sitting as Magistrate, for their liberation on bail. I spoke to him first privately on the subject, and then made a formal application. He did not say whether he would grant the application when I applied to him privately. When I applied formally at the Police Court, I do not remember whether Mr Caldwell was present or not. My application was refused, in consequence of the information Mr Caldwell had given the Government on the question. I think Mr Anstey at the time told me he refused the bail on this account.\n\nI was present and made the application. The prisoners were not brought into the court; the bail rested entirely with the Government. I then wrote to the Colonial Secretary, and had a letter leading me to believe that bail would be granted. I heard no more, but two or three days after I saw the two men being marched down for deportation by the Phoebe Dunbar. I do not recollect any one stating to Mr Anstey that they were very bad characters, and had been guilty of some offence without specifying what, when I applied for bail. I had no intimation from any quarter at all that it was intended to deport these men.\n\nIt is very likely that Mr Caldwell opposed the bail in this private conversation, although I did not hear him. Mr Caldwell is in the habit of frequently speaking to the Magistrate on the bench. I do not think I informed the Attorney General that the prisoners had been deported.\n\nI cannot give an opinion whether there were any persons, other than Mr May, attached to the Police Department, capable of conducting the prosecution of Ma-chow Wong to a successful issue; nor as to what would have been the fate of the case, had not Mr May taken an interest in seeing the inquiry properly conducted.\n\nThe perusal of my letter of 14th January, 1857, to the Acting Colonial Secretary, applying for bail for 'Ng Kamting, does not enable me to add anything to what I have already stated, except that there is difference in the name.\n\n## WILLIAM THOMAS BRIDGES\n\nRecalled at his own request, to correct part of his evidence given on the 29th ultimo, and also to make a statement in answer to some remarks made by the Attorney General.\n\n[The Chairman announced that cross-examination would be allowed on Dr Bridges's corrections of his evidence; but that, although his statement and any answer to it on the part of the Attorney General would be received, no cross-examination would be allowed on either of their statements.]\n\nI believe that I stated that Ma-chow Wong's books and papers were referred for examination to Messrs Caldwell and Mongan, previous to the appearance of the article in the China Mail. Such was my impression, but I find that I was under error, and that the reference was made after the appearance of the article, and most probably in consequence of it. I may state also, that the letter requesting the examination, was written by the Clerk of Councils, and this is probably the reason of the fact escaping my mind.\n\nI was Acting Attorney General, from the 28th February, 1852, to 13th February, 1853; and from 13th April, 1854, to the 15th January, 1856, with the exception of one week. I cannot say if I communicated with any one regarding my report to Mr Secretary Labouchere, recommending the establishment of a Thuggee police system, and the placing Mr Caldwell at the head of it. I have no doubt I told somebody of it. I was requested by Mr Labouchere officially to make this report. I had a long interview with Mr Labouchere and Mr Ball, regarding the different questions connected with the colony, and I had a letter from Mr Elliott requesting me to put what I said to Mr Labouchere in writing, which I did, and to which I had an answer thanking me for it. I decline to answer the question whether I have any knowledge theoretical or practical of that kind of police. I decline to answer what I know about it. If the Commission sits on the subject, I shall be happy to give them the information I have.\n\nI decline to answer whether it was to be introduced here with or without modifications. I don't know that my suggestion was refused. It has not been adopted. No question arose as to Mr Caldwell's antecedents making him unfit for such high office. I do not know whether I have kept the letter from the Colonial Office or not. I was about to be married at the time I received it, and had plenty of other things to think about.\n\n6th January, 1850.\n\n**SIR**, In acknowledging your letter of the 1st instant, I am directed to inform you, that the nomination by H. M's. Government of Mr Anstey to the office of Attorney General of this colony, has been officially announced by the Secretary of State. H. E. the Governor directs me to express to you his high sense of the zeal and ability with which you have discharged the duties imposed on you, while exercising the important functions of Attorney General of Hongkong.\n\n(Signed) W. T. MERCER.\n\nI then turned up a letter from Mr Mercer, in which he states he was unwilling to express himself the Governor's opinion, and therefore left it to His Excellency to write in his own hand. I also lay in before the Commission, letters from the Lieutenant Governor, from Admiral Stirling, and a letter presented to me on the 14th January, and signed by the greater portion of this community, expressing their opinion of my conduct during the five years I had been in this colony. I should never have shewn these documents to anybody, but it is only in a case like this I am compelled to bring them forward, considering that it was impossible His Excellency the Governor could have forgotten the official letter, not three weeks old, or could have been unaware of the opinion in which I was held by my fellow servants, and by the community at large. I wish to state, that I do not consider it to be a question of credibility between His Excellency the Governor and the Attorney General, but that I believe the statement to be knowingly made, with the deliberate intention to attempt to injure me. I have also to state, that when I returned to this colony, Mr Anstey shewed no backwardness in making my acquaintance; he in no way behaved towards me as a person who had been guilty of malpractices, and that, considering his line of conduct towards me recently, it is almost impossible, that had so important a charge been made against me by the Governor, he would not have brought it forward long ago. I wish merely to add with...\n\n(65) \n\n...His Excellency the Governor, stated to him what I had heard, and asked him if anything of the kind had taken place. His Excellency stated, that he should take no official notice of anything which occurred before the Commission until it had concluded its labours; but he assured me that he had made no such statement, and added that it would have been impossible for him to have appointed me Acting Colonial Secretary if he had done so. Had the matter remained there, I should have been content to pass this matter by, as one of those aberrations from the truth to which the Attorney General is continually liable; but when I found that the Commission had printed this statement, I deemed it necessary for my own defence, and also for the instruction of the Commission as to the weight to be given to any statement of the Attorney General, to go further into the matter. I turned up from the records of the office an official letter written to me on the 5th of January, 1856. I left the colony on the 15th January, 1856. That letter is from Mr Mercer, the then Colonial Secretary, as to the formal part of it; but as to the substantial part is in the Governor's own handwriting, and is to the effect...\n\nCross-examined, I do mean the Commission to understand, that Mr Mongan was not informed at that meeting, or any other meeting of the Executive Council, of the authority of Mr May's memoranda,-on which that statement in the China Mail was made, and that he was not examined on those memoranda. I have never had anything to say to any of the papers, beyond the conversation with Mr Mongan. The papers regarding the Ma-chow Wong and Beaver case were in the hands of the Clerk of Councils, and the Ma-chow Wong papers were in the hands of Mr Mongan, who made an application as to what was to be done with them. That is the only reason I can give why the one set was destroyed and the other not.\n\nI now proceed to my statement. I happened accidentally to come in here on the 28th of June, and I heard the Attorney General state that within two days after his arrival, therefore on the 2d February, 1856, His Excellency the Governor begged him to make it his business to bring to light, and if necessary to punish, the malpractices of which he complained. Mr Anstey begged to specify in particular to the Commission the malpractices of the Police, and of his own department of Attorney General. Now, as I was the only officer who had acted Attorney General with Sir John Bowring, those malpractices, if any, must have been mine. I went in to...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-068 - Sir Bowring - 1858 [5-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 244751, "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": "CO129-068 - Sir Bowring - 1858 [5-12]", "page_number": 493, "title": "CO129-068 - Sir Bowring - 1858 [5-12]", "content_text": "## Proceedings of 8th July continued.\n\nI recollect the apprehension of a man who was charged with stealing a watch from Mr Lapraik. I was examined in the gaol upon a subsequent charge of piracy against the same man. I was examined in the presence of the Acting Colonial Secretary, Mr Caldwell, Mr Inglis, and a Chinese prisoner named Kwan Chan-hee. From circumstances, I imagined the man was accused from dislike between him and Ma-chow Wong and Kwan Chun-hee and this man.\n\nWhen I was examining him, he brought out some pieces of red paper, eight or nine inches long, with Chinese characters, which were interpreted to me by one of the Chinese in the station named Ahee. It was to the effect that Beaver was an American, a very good man, and had been some time in his employ; I kept it for a day or two before producing it by me before Mr Mitchell. I cannot recollect whether Mr Caldwell was there when I told Mr Mitchell of the interpretation I put upon the paper or not. I don't think I told Mr May about the paper while the trial was going on.\n\nIn a day or two after Beaver was remanded, I was sent for by the Acting Colonial Secretary. At about 6 o'clock in the morning I went to the Acting Colonial Secretary's house. He commenced questioning me, as licensing day was coming on, about the Comprador of the steamer.\n\nI know from reference to my chart, that Luy-chow near Hainan is from 8 to 10 miles from the mouth of a river; it stands a little way back from the shore. I have been past, but never in it.\n\n[Read Lyons' evidence concerning his visit to the Gaol to inquire about Beaver and the paper, and Beaver's conversation with himself.]\n\nI agree with nearly every portion of it. Beaver himself told me that he was with Akwai. I was at Boggs's trial.\n\nWhen I came here yesterday, there was a paper shown to me, and I was asked if I knew the character of the different Public-house keepers. After that I saw the paper produced. I do not know what was done with the paper before.\n\nThe steamer was about a mile and a half from the shore. The Elders of the village came on board and made an arrangement with Mr Caldwell for the payment of a sum of money if we could catch these desperadoes, but I do not know the amount. The boat went for the purpose of assisting people belonging to the Elders, and Mr Caldwell went in it. There were four armed men, four men pulling, the second Engineer and the Captain. When Roberts and Lyons asked me these questions, they did not tell me they should want me to give evidence. Yesterday, Roberts told me he had written down what I had said. I told him I thought it very curious, and that if I had seen the paper before, I should not have said anything. The answer I gave was that I had seen a paper written by a friend of mine about a year before; it was relating to the sale of a lorcha.\n\nThe Acting Colonial Secretary then remarked that the prisoner had that paper in his possession, and had given it to Kwan Chun-hee, and that the prisoner was head partner in the purchase of the lorcha. The Acting Colonial Secretary then went on to say that the paper had been given by this prisoner to Kwan Chun-hee within the last few days in Gaol, and that Kwan Chun-hee had given it up to accuse the prisoner.\n\nThe Acting Colonial Secretary then asked me about the searching of the prisoner at the Station, and I said I thought it was impossible he could have been locked up, without any paper which he might have had on his body being found.\n\nRe-examined,--During the time in which I was employed on board the `Eaglet` we never made any prisoners. In the Kulan affair there was loss of life sustained--five of the `Rattler's` and six or eight of the `Powhattan's` men were killed, besides other casualties. The information that the junks captured at St John's were pirates was obtained from the prisoner before his arrest.\n\nThe Acting Colonial Secretary asked me if I had ever seen a fleet of two or three hundred junks which we met on our way to Mameë. I told him I had seen them one time previously, when he was making a charge in the Central Police Station. He then asked me if I could recognise a man named Yik-foo, if I saw him. He then asked me if the prisoner was not Yik-foo, and I said that he was not.\n\nThe Acting Colonial Secretary then sent me round to the Gaol to take another look at the prisoner, and assured me that the prisoner was not Yik-foo. I returned, and told him I was certain he was not Yik-foo. He then asked me, as the prisoner was sick at the time, could his sickness not have altered him, so that I could not recognise him. I assured him he was not Yik-foo, upon which I was dismissed.\n\nA short time afterwards I met the Acting Colonial Secretary at the Central Police Station, and in speaking to him I remarked that I had been told by one of the European prisoners, that the paper had been in Gaol since the conviction of Kwan Chun-hee. I then told him that Kwan Chun-hee had already brought a charge against Tong Akü which had been proved false. The charge against Tong Akü had been convicted.\n\nDr Bridges said that he would see into the matter, that he would inquire amongst the prisoners in the Gaol, and ascertain whether it was as I said with reference to the paper. I again saw the Acting Colonial Secretary upon this matter.\n\nI have seen Passengers coming on board except as a passenger. I have no recollection of seeing any one wearing spectacles coming on board except Lai Sze-kai.\n\nSai I have seen Lai Sze-kai wearing spectacles. I never received any other sum than the $55 either as prize-money or remuneration for extra or dangerous service.\n\n[Lai Sze-kai shewn to witness.]\n\nI remember the apprehension of Beaver; he was apprehended and brought to the Police Station by Mr Caldwell.\n\nWhen I had finished examining him, I told him about this man Beaver, and a case of piracy which I had known, and which had occurred in the previous January. I told him about a gun being purchased on the lorcha, also that the money had not been paid, and an order had been given, I was under the impression at the instance of Ma-chow Wong.\n\nThe pirate who took the lorcha was the brother or brother-in-law of Akwai, and he had an European with him. The Acting Colonial Secretary said he would like very much to see the order; it was for $80. The lorcha came in two days afterwards. I boarded her as she came to an anchor about half-past four or five in the morning. I took the Captain of the lorcha, and Achong, the Chinese owner, up to Dr Bridges's house about 7 o'clock, and they produced a paper which they said was the one to which I alluded. It was only an acknowledgment of having taken a gun worth $70, which they intended to pay for. There was no order on any particular house.\n\nThe paper was then sent together with the first paper found on Beaver's person to Mr Wade to be translated; and the Acting Colonial Secretary told me that as Mr Caldwell had already a charge for confederation with pirates against Beaver, I had better send my witnesses down to him. The witnesses were first sent down to Mr Caldwell, and then went before the Magistrate.\n\nAfter the paper was translated, it was returned to me by Mr Grand-Pré, and after getting it I went before the Magistrate again, with the witnesses, and the paper was again produced before the Assistant Magistrate Mr Mitchell. I do not know whether it was interpreted to him at that time.\n\nThe examination lasted over a space of three weeks, and the paper was taken there every day for examination. The witnesses failed to identify Beaver, and he was sentenced to find security for three months, or quit the colony; he quitted the colony.\n\nThis paper was never to my knowledge in Mr Caldwell's possession. He saw it, but I don't know that he read it at the Police Court. At one time I told him about it.\n\nAfter the investigation was over, Beaver asked for his paper, but Mr Mitchell said that they were to be retained. The last time I saw the paper was at the Magistracy, when he was committed to the Gaol upon not being able to find security. I have not seen it since. I have looked over the papers in the Magistracy, and that document is not attached to the case.\n\nBeaver told me that he had been in the employ of Mr Caldwell and Ma-chow Wong on board a lorcha. If I had not been told, I should not have taken my witnesses to Mr Caldwell.\n\n## MANOEL DA SILVA, Sergeant in the Water Police,-Called and examined.\n\nI remember the apprehension of Po-Pak-Shing on a charge of piracy.

When the prisoners were taken ashore—two women by Mr. Caldwell on the 23rd, and three or four children remained on board. I had orders to send a Chinese constable with them if they wanted to go on shore and buy anything. One day when they went to market, I saw the woman at Ma-chow Wong's house, and asked her what she was doing there; she said she was there to buy something. I told her to come along with me and took her on board again. When the case was brought before the Magistrate and remanded, all the witnesses left the place. The complainant came to me before they went away, and stated he believed they were going to be bribed.\n\nCross-examined, I knew Tong Achik, the brother of To Aku, the late Interpreter. He was also himself an Interpreter at the Police Court. I remember his dismissal from Government employ. His dismissal was on the grounds that certain documents were found in the case of a piratical vessel brought in by H.M. steamer Cruizer.\n\n(79)\n\nI used to take a great deal of interest in the movements of the rebel squadron which was here, with a view to finding out what their objects, and who their leaders, were. I remember the gold dust robbery. I do not know that the prisoners brought up were in any way connected with Ma-chow Wong. I have been Interpreter at the Police Court for about four years. During this time, I have seen a great number of cases in which persons have been charged with piracy. I don't recollect seeing Ma-chow Wong himself in the Court, but have seen his friends who were interested in the cases come up.\n\nI know some men who were generally employed by him as messengers. If there was any case in which a lawyer was engaged, and if the lawyer was not in time, these men went for him. This was in cases where men were charged with piracy. I remember also these persons offering themselves as bail for persons charged with piracy. Mr. Stace was the lawyer who used generally to attend. I know Po-Pak-Shing from what I heard to be a notorious pirate.\n\nI recollect seizing the boat off Kwong Yik Loong, and I know that that boat was in my custody shortly before the crew was charged with piracy and murder. I have seen Ma-chow Wong after the case I have before mentioned in communication with persons to whom boats had been delivered over in cases of piracy which had broken down.\n\nAdjourned till to-morrow at 12 o'clock.\n\n## TWENTIETH DAY\n\nFriday, 9th July, 1858, at 12 o'clock Noon. Present—All the Members, except the Hon'ble Mr. Davies.\n\nNORMAN RAMSAY MASSON, Acting Registrar to the Supreme Court,—Recalled.\n\nI don't recollect receiving any information in this case from Ma-chow Wong in Mr. Caldwell's house upon which I acted. I found him in a very jovial conversation with Ma-chow Wong. It appeared to me that he was playing a double part. Mr. May was sitting as Magistrate, and I was Interpreter. I interpreted the petition to Mr. May, but do not now recollect its contents. I recollect the man saying that he was authorized to come and receive the gold dust.\n\nRe-examined,—The warrant which I issued in the tin case was dated the 20th, and only executed on the 23rd. I do not know what occasioned the delay. I have read the depositions in the case.\n\nI first came to China in 1835, and have resided here since 1840. I knew Mr. Caldwell by repute as far back as 1836, and saw him at Whampoa in 1838. I first became acquainted with him in 1841, when he commanded the brig Thistle, owned by Akwei.\n\nI was present in Court when Eli Boggs was tried. On one occasion, I asked Mr. Caldwell regarding the reports going about him, and he told me that Messrs. Jardine, Matheson & Co., had investigated the matter for him, and had certified to Mr. Innes that the report to which I alluded was erroneous.\n\nI don't recollect seeing any paper in Boggs' hand, nor do I recollect hearing him read from one. I heard that they were willing to give about $850 if the man should be released. I think Mr. Caldwell said Messrs. Jardine, Matheson & Co., or some member of the firm, had given him a letter to that effect.\n\nI think it was Lün Loong and Sei Hing who bailed Po-Pak-Shing, and the other prisoners. These two were shops with which Ma-chow Wong had something to do. I think there was no doubt that Ma-chow Wong knew of Po-Pak-Shing being a notorious pirate.\n\nNG MUN-SOW, Interpreter at the Police Court,—Re-called.\n\nWILLIAM HENRY MITCHELL, Assistant Magistrate,—Recalled at his own request to make an additional statement.\n\nI am not certain that no Chinese papers or translations were produced to me by Mr. Caldwell or anyone else at the examination into Beaver's case; I have no recollection. Mr. May commenced the investigations in Beaver's case. I have recently read the depositions, and observe some reference in the early stage of the proceedings to some documents which were to be produced by Mr. Caldwell.\n\nWILLIAM TARRANT, Proprietor and Editor of the Friend of China,—Called and examined.\n\nI stated in my last examination that I did not recollect any seizure of tin having been made in the case in question; nor did I, until afterwards meeting Mr. Caldwell, when he brought to my recollection faintly that there had been a seizure and a subsequent investigation before the Magistrate.\n\nI caused a very strict search to be made in the records of our department for any case bearing upon the matter, and at last, one was found dated the 29th and 30th of June 1855. The case came before Mr. Hillier.\n\nI have never to the best of my recollection made any statement in writing to the Attorney General about any connection between Eli Boggs and the steamer Eaglet, nor headed to him any statement in writing made by any other person.\n\nI knew the report threw Mr. Caldwell under a cloud entirely with the community in China. I know nothing further than this, and that as a Shipmaster, he was as much respected as the generality of the class.\n\nI remember two boats being seized off the central part of the town, and Po-Pak-Shing being seized on a charge of piracy connected with them. After several remands, the witnesses for the prosecution were not forthcoming, because I believe of some understanding between the pirates and Ma-chow Wong.\n\nI know that Shan-tung Wei said to one of his relations who is residing in the town that he gave $500 to Ma-chow Wong, and yet he said he could not get back his boat.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-068 - Sir Bowring - 1858 [5-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 244756, "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": "CO129-068 - Sir Bowring - 1858 [5-12]", "page_number": 498, "title": "CO129-068 - Sir Bowring - 1858 [5-12]", "content_text": "## 495\n\n(86)\n\nshould have obtained the same sanction in the second had it with regard to the 75 pirates or rebels,—72 of them were not broken down in the Police Court for lack of clear and taken by H.M. steamer Niger, and H.E.I. Co. steamer Auckland; three were seized in the town, they were undoubtedly pirates, and were charged by parties having nothing to do, as far as I know, with Mr. Caldwell. The same day on which these three were brought before me, but at a later period of the day, the 72 others were also brought up by Mr. Caldwell. It seemed to me clear that a great many of them were pirates, or had been, shortly before they were seized, acting in conjunction with pirates, that some others were prisoners, and that a great proportion were certainly rebels, but whether only rebels and not also pirates, I cannot say.\n\nAs Mr. Caldwell swore that he had no doubt, from all the appearances, as well as from the evidence given, that the boats in which the 72 men were seized were pirate boats, and that he should have had no hesitation in bringing them in himself as pirate boats, and as there was not a distinct act of piracy sufficient for me to commit any of them for trial, I discharged three, and committed the others to Gaol, to await a reference to the Governor under Section 8 of Ordinance 2 of 1850. I did not know, and I do not know now, that these rebels were arrested on the information of Ma-chow Wong. I only know from hearsay, that Mr. Scarth took some steps, of what kind I do not know, to obtain their release.\n\nWith regard to the case of Po-pak-shing, the notorious pirate, I wish to state, that he and five others were first charged before me on the 19th January, 1857, with an act of piracy on Portuguese Lorcha No. 47. I took a very great interest in the case, and I may say almost acted the part of Superintendent of Police in it. I only succeeded on that occasion, however, in getting one witness, and after various remands, at the end of 12 days, was obliged to discharge them, but I bound over Po-pak-Shing to appear to answer any charge within one month. Four days after this, on the 7th February, 1857, I got another witness and Po-pak-Shing was again brought before me. There seemed to be some chance of obtaining many more witnesses from Macao. I wrote to His Excellency, who wrote to the Governor of Macao; but after some delay, it was clear that I should get no more witnesses, that I should not even get the first witness again, and that I should probably have a difficulty in retaining the present one. Po-pak-Shing, however, was clearly guilty of piracy. He had been seized in one of the boats in which the 17 men were seized who had been charged before the Attorney General, and discharged by him on the evidence of Mr. Grand-Pré as to the honesty and peaceful character of the boats.\n\nMr. Grand-Pré swore to the same effect before me in this case, and that he had examined the boats with Mr. Caldwell, and seen their Register. Under all the circumstances, therefore, I discharged the prisoner. [The cases are referred to by Mr. May in page 34.]\n\nThe man charged with the larceny of Mr. Lapraik's watch was brought before me. That charge breaking down after two remands, I was upon the point of discharging him, when Mr. Caldwell deposed that he thought he had evidence to support a charge of piracy and murder against him. The only witness brought forward was a convict under sentence of 15 years' transportation. After two more remands, there being no further evidence, he was discharged. I know nothing as to Ma-chow Wong having got up the case. This witness was not the same as the one who gave evidence against Tong Aku the interpreter, but I believe Mr. Caldwell will state that he had at one time proposed to call one of the witnesses in Tong Akü's case also as a witness in this case. Nothing was said about the piracy and murder before the watch case was on the point of being dismissed.\n\nAs to Eli Boggs's case, I recollect nothing whatever of any paper of the nature described by Lyons in his evidence [see (87)] being produced before me in the Police Court. I do not say that no paper whatever was produced to me, but I have not recollection of any, and if it had been of the nature described, I must have recollected it. I remember a pirate flag or pass made of calico being produced. I recollect the tin box being produced in the Police Court. I have searched the Gaol books, and there is no mention of any property of Eli Boggs being at any time in the Gaol.\n\n## TWENTY SECOND DAY\n\nTuesday, 13th July, 1858, at 12 o'clock Noon.\n\nPresent,—All the Members.\n\nThe Honourable Mr. DAVIES, (Chief Magistrate) a Member of the Commission,—Examined.\n\nWhen I heard of the statement affecting Mr. Caldwell which Eli Boggs had made in his defence, I was very much struck with it. I went to the Acting Colonial Secretary, and asked him if he had heard of it, and whether he thought it was possible there was any truth in it, for, said I, \"it seems so very detailed and circumstantial, that really I think you ought to inquire into it.\" He said, \"Oh no, I know Caldwell's character perfectly well, and I am sure it's all nonsense,\" and from what he said, I thought the same. I have mentioned this here, merely to show that up to that time, I had never heard the faintest whisper of anything against Mr. Caldwell, or of any connection between him and Ma-chow Wong.\n\nI now go on to the Ma-chow Wong case: On the 17th July, 1857, Ma-chow Wong and another were charged before me by Mr. Grand-Pré, with knowingly receiving sugar piratically stolen. The only witness besides Mr. Grand-Pré, was Sergeant da Silva. There was no evidence whatever to justify me in detaining the defendants, but the circumstances were such as led me to suppose that evidence of criminality might be forthcoming on a future occasion. I therefore bound them over to appear and answer any charge within six weeks. The two sureties were procured by Mr. Caldwell. I am almost certain it was upon this occasion that Mr. Inglis was sitting on the bench on my left hand, and Mr. Caldwell on my right hand. At the commencement of the case, Mr. Inglis said to me in a loud voice, \"I think you ought to know, Sir, that this Ma-chow Wong is a notorious scoundrel, and has been convicted of receiving stolen goods.\" Mr. Caldwell immediately replied, also aloud, \"That's quite a mistake, Mr. Inglis; no such thing ever happened.\" Towards the end of the case, Mr. Inglis whispered to me, \"Mr. Caldwell is Ma-chow Wong's adopted son,\" or he may have said \"adopted father,\"—I don't know which. I made no remark at the time, but at the end of the case, I said quietly to Mr. Caldwell, \"I have heard something, Mr. Caldwell, about your connection with this case, which, if it were said of me, I should perhaps feel it indelicate in me to be present during the inquiry. It is for you to consider whether you know of any reason which should make you think you ought not to be present.\" I said no more and said I should say no more.\n\nUpon consideration, I have some doubt whether I am correct as to the day on which this occurred. I did not give Mr. Caldwell time to make a remark, and he made none. On Monday, the 20th July, Dr. Bridges requested me to take a case which was coming on against Ma-chow Wong. I said, \"It is not my day, I have Petty Sessions business to attend to; it will be Mr. May's case.\" Dr. Bridges explained to me, that he believed Mr. May to be in some way prejudiced against Ma-chow Wong, and, I think he said, against Mr. Caldwell also, and that therefore he thought it very desirable I should take the case. My objection to doing so, solely arose from a desire that Mr. May's feelings should not be hurt, and it was ultimately arranged we should both sit. On the 21st July, the next day, 24 men were brought before me, charged with the same offence as Ma-chow Wong and the others were charged with on Friday the 17th, and Ma-chow Wong and the other man were again placed in the dock. On this case, I sat alone, and after ten sittings, I committed Ma-chow Wong and 25 others for trial, and upon this case, he was convicted.\n\nMay and I sat, as I have said, together on the other case, and upon it Ma-chow Wong and another were committed for trial. In neither case was he admitted to bail until after he was committed. He was then bailed by order of the Chief Justice, the Crown Solicitor looking to the sufficiency of the sureties. While the hearing of the cases in the Police Court was going on, Ma-chow Wong and his friends had been heard to utter threats against the witnesses, and upon the affidavit of two of these witnesses, I bound him over to keep the peace, with four sureties, of which Lai Sze-kai was one. On the day on which I took the recognizances, I saw Mr. Caldwell at the Police Court, with a number of persons, who offered themselves as sureties; he showed me a list of eight names. I believe it is quite true, as Mr. Caldwell seems to suggest, that I asked Mr. Caldwell into the Magistrate's room; in fact, I spent about three quarters of an hour in examining into the sufficiency of the sureties. I made each of them make a declaration, that the value of his property, after all his debts were paid, was enough to cover the penalty.\n\nThe Attorney General's statement, [see page 32,] about our warning Ma-chow Wong against threats of violence, is perfectly accurate. We both not only warned him, but addressed the public. I happen to recollect also, as Mr. Anstey has stated, that, as the words \"Samkwei\" came out of the witness's mouth, Mr. Anstey came into the Court.\n\nMr. May has asked me to mention what my impression is of his mode of conducting the inquiry. I state at once, that he exhibited a great deal of zeal, and that he strayed beyond the simple duties of a Magistrate, and acted partly no doubt as Superintendent of Police; and well it was he did so. I really do not think that he was guilty of even the smallest act, from which even now, when I look back on his conduct, with the further knowledge of his relations with Mr. Caldwell—I could, even if I had the greatest wish to do so, conclude that he acted unfairly or with hostile feelings towards Mr. Caldwell. If he had such feelings, he concealed them very well from me. As to his acting somewhat as Superintendent of Police, any case of such cumbersomeness, much more this case, would have broken down unless he had done so. I don't believe Ma-chow Wong's case would have lived three days through otherwise.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-068 - Sir Bowring - 1858 [5-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 244759, "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": "CO129-068 - Sir Bowring - 1858 [5-12]", "page_number": 501, "title": "CO129-068 - Sir Bowring - 1858 [5-12]", "content_text": "498 \n\n( 92 ) \n\ngiven on this point. And further, as regards these 72 men, the information given to me, and on which I acted, was that of three men who had nothing whatever to say to Ma-chow Wong as far as I am aware. They went with us in the Niger to identify the boats, one being the father of a man then a prisoner with these people. The information given was to the effect that nine men had been put to death the day before, and the other prisoners were to be executed that day.\n\nThat the Registrar General, or any other official in this colony, can of his own power arrest and discharge persons, or confiscate or restore their property, is a simple impossibility; and I will not presume to occupy the time of the Commission by pointing out the absurdity involved in charge No 7. I am not aware that any evidence has been adduced in support of it, but I may as well state that on no single occasion has any arrest been made by me without either the accused being brought before the Magistrate in the usual course, or in cases under the Peace and Security Ordinance, without a specific report being at once made to His Excellency the Governor on the subject. I have no power to confiscate or restore any property, and have never done so except under orders from my superiors.\n\nI am certain that Ma-chow Wong had nothing at all to say to the gold dust case, and the securities given in connection with it. Even Mr May himself will, I think, now admit that his original evidence on the subject was incorrect. Instead of Mr May handing it over to me with strong moral observations, and in the presence of Ma-chow Wong, Mr Grand Pre is proved to have given it to me when both Mr May and Ma-chow Wong were absent. The question as to whether the gold dust should be appropriated by the Government, as suggested by Mr May, or handed over to certain petitioners, having been decided by His Excellency the Governor, I simply obeyed the instructions I received. But with regard to the subsequent applicant, it may not be useless to observe that he came to my office, that I sent for two of the securities - Apang and Foong-shan, and that upon inquiry it came out that he had lost dollars at the time of the piracy, but had never been possessed of any gold dust at all. Mr May constantly sees Foong-shan at the Supreme Court, where he is Shroff. Mr May knew that Foong-shan was one of the securities, as I gave Mr May the security papers myself, and therefore a very little investigation on Mr May's part would have spared the Commission much needless trouble on this point.\n\nTing-wa-ping's evidence stood unimpeached on any point, and goes to prove that I repeatedly refused to receive anything for official services performed by me, but that Mrs Caldwell, in my absence, did accept a sum of $100 as a free will offering. If this occurred, and with my consent either tacitly or otherwise, I think that I should be liable to censure as a Government servant; but I beg leave to deny most emphatically that this witness has given a true narrative against my character. Although, strange to say, Mr Anstey, the accuser general, was here during at least half the time. But I do say most confidently that it is false that any such feeling of terror exists. Were there any causes of complaint, would they not have been attracted long ere now by the bitter hostility of Mr Anstey, the self-avowed conscientious desires of Mr May for the public good, or the unscrupulous partizanship of the subordinate partners in this conspiracy against me?\n\nThe Tin charge, upon investigation, appears to have rested upon as little foundation as the gold dust and many other charges. Mr Mitchell was in the first instance very positive as to his statements, without having taken the trouble to refresh his memory by referring to the original documents in his office. Mr Mitchell has now amended his original statement, and the depositions and Jarman's evidence have satisfactorily established that there was no want of proper vigilance or activity on my part. In reality, it was a matter in which I took more than a usual amount of trouble, and the strict letter of the law was, I believe, stretched to recover the stolen property, and it is with considerable surprise that I find it revived after three years for the purposes of this prosecution.\n\nThe course pursued with regard to Boggs' paper will, I think, throw much light upon the manner in which charges have been attempted to be got up against me under this Commission. Relying upon the probability that Boggs would endorse any statement to my prejudice, Lyons, whom Mr May owns to having advised as to the mode of getting up evidence, imagines himself to have heard a letter read, connecting me with Ma-chow Wong and Boggs, and which letter ought to be in my handwriting: then visits Boggs in the Gaol, and the charge is started; but where it starts it falls. Boggs does not supply the wanting links. Mr Grand-Pre has seen the letter, and read it, and so did the Attorney General if he would but say so; for Boggs and Mr Grand-Pre prove it was read in his presence, and it had no more reference to me than to any one of the Hon'ble Commission. This would be bad enough, but Mr Market Inspector Roberts must needs come to the support of Mr Deputy Inspector Lyons, and revive the dying slander to its original heat. Roberts had also been taken into council by Mr May. Both Roberts and Lyons have been, during the Commission, promoted by Mr May's means.\n\nSuch a charge as the one numbered 8 is easily brought and somewhat difficult of disproof, on account of its intangible nature, but did it not occur to my accuser that there was nothing between July 1855, and November 1856, to prevent or intimidate any man, whether Chinese or not, from bringing charges against me? I held no official position; I was but the Captain of a coasting steamer, there appeared no probability of my returning to office, and yet during those seventeen months, who complained or said a word against my character?\n\nBy Klings, with ludicrous ignorance, Mr Anstey means half-caste Chinese, or Chinese born in the Straits. The Commission will hardly need to be informed by me that Klings are simply Madrasses. Did ever any one, but Mr May, hear of Malays forming secret societies? Certainly no one connected with Singapore, and I am convinced no one anywhere else, it being entirely contrary to their spirit and customs. When it is remembered that I was not 17 when I left Singapore, that I could not speak a word of the Chinese language then, nor for many months after, I am not likely to be connected with a secret society, and so does the Chairman of this Commission, and I hold the proud position of Master for the year of it - the Zetland Lodge of Freemasons.\n\nIf so, it has signally failed. Whether or not Shaplok or Cho On did, or did not, get $400 or $450 from these pawnbrokers, is a fact for which I cannot be in any way responsible, unless I was art or part in the matter, which I most earnestly deny. The Commission will remember that no connection has been proved between my family and Shaplok, that the latter has been for some time out of the Colony, and therefore cannot be produced here. Wohang denies having heard my name, or that of my wife, at all in the matter. Tong Kwong-sin and Low Shing-keet both were present at the payment, but up to its taking place, know nothing of their own knowledge of the circumstances which led to it; and the latter states himself to have been even ignorant of what was to be done for it. They neither of them heard Cho On mention my being in any way concerned, with one exception, and that is with reference to a statement made by Cho On. Cho On denies everything connected with the matter. Even if my name had been distinctly mentioned, and money fraudulently obtained on the strength of it, is not that a circumstance to which any public officer may be exposed, not only in this Colony, but elsewhere? The crime is not an unfrequent one, and it has occurred to me before, and I have prosecuted to conviction, before the Supreme Court.\n\nWith regard to the matter of the Eaglet, I shall say nothing more than that the statements of her officers given to the Commission are substantially correct, with the exception that I went in my boat out of curiosity, and the amount paid for taking the Mandarins to the village was $2,000.\n\nI should but needlessly occupy the time of the Hon'ble Commission with refuting charge No. 10. The prosecution here is based on a misconception, and my best defence is that the premises upon which it was brought were erroneous, and actually occurred. While chatting in a friendly way with Mr May in my own house, my wife and some others being present, I said, \"It is a great shame; the next time I shall ask them to give it to my wife.\" This was all that took place; and these trifling words, treasured up for four years by the conscientious Mr May, are reproduced as indicating a willingness on my part to consent to my own wife taking bribes.\n\nI have to thank the Commission for having, by limiting my power of cross-examination, prevented me from entering upon one line of defence, which would have almost degraded me to the same level as that on which Messrs Anstey and May now lie. Goaded beyond endurance by the attacks on my wife, and the unscrupulous betrayal of the confidence of friendly intercourse, I was tempted to retaliate and drag the details of their private morals before you, but I have been spared this error. Let them not, however, suppose that having informed Mr May that I deem such as theirs can pass without notice, and although I will not even in my own defence imitate their example, in which it was brought by the Attorney General, I deny this charge altogether. My proofs are ready, and can be produced whenever required.\n\nAnd now I have done: I shall call no witnesses unless the Commission require them, because it appears to me that nothing remains which requires explanation or disproof.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-068 - Sir Bowring - 1858 [5-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 244761, "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": "CO129-068 - Sir Bowring - 1858 [5-12]", "page_number": 503, "title": "CO129-068 - Sir Bowring - 1858 [5-12]", "content_text": "500 \n\n(96) \n\nabout Shaplok the same afternoon that Wohang came to Mrs Caldwell would answer her, that is all I can say. She never came as a friend to the house. I did not communicate with the Government or Police about it.\n\nIt is impossible for me to say whether Ch'o On would or would not pay $400 to Shaplok without thinking she had someone to back her. He has been fifteen years in Government service, and I should think that he would not be so stupid as to pay any money at all.\n\nI am quite ignorant of the circumstances relative to the capture or attempt at breach of the blockade of the Canton River of the boat to which the pass was granted mentioned by the Attorney General, in page 73.\n\nI have given many of such passes, so it is impossible for me to tell about this particular one.\n\nI did not consider it necessary to cross-examine Mr May upon his statement regarding my telling him about my wife receiving presents, because I considered the inference drawn from the words spoken by me was so absurd that I did not think it necessary.\n\nI did not know Po-pak-shing as a notorious pirate at the time I went on board his boat; I never heard of his name until that time.\n\nI most solemnly declare that I only know that the Sinon Wo ground lot is in the Lower Bazaar because it is marine lot 33. I suppose that Sinon Wo is the lessee's name. I do not think that Ma-chow Wong is the owner. I know he used to have the management. When this Sunon man (referred to in page 59) came and asked me about the increased rental of the lot, I knew that Ma-chow Wong had been connected with the Sinon Wo. I am sure that the land, so far as I have heard, did not belong to Ma-chow Wong. From what I have heard, Ma-chow Wong was the head of some committee of management; there were others.\n\nMr May's statement of the misunderstandings between us is correct. We have had no others. I do not consider Ma-chow Wong's conviction chiefly owing to the exertions of Mr May, but to the public mind and that of the jury being prejudiced against him by the local papers. Mr May did not, to my knowledge, apply for my reinstatement in Government employ. I did consider, and I am now more fully confident, that Mr May had a vindictive feeling towards me at the time of conducting the case of Ma-chow Wong connected with it. I do most decidedly deny the existence of any connection in any sense whatever, whether by blood, age, or adoption, between myself and Ma-chow Wong. I have particular reasons for not wishing to give my grounds for such belief on this occasion. As I have already stated in my evidence today, these reasons may form the subject of future complaints by me.\n\nWong is an inferior man, not an equal, and I consider this fact certain that nothing would give Mr May more pleasure than to see the situation of Registrar General become vacant for him by my dismissal, thereby making a villainous attempt to injure my reputation.\n\nThe very fact that the woman Awoon (who was not the wife of Ma-chow Wong, being some years younger than him) makes Inglis's statement of less value, because it is entirely according to Chinese usage or custom for a young woman to adopt a man older than herself as her son.\n\nAdjourned till Friday, the 16th, at 12 o'clock.\n\nTWENTY FOURth Day,\nFriday, 16th July, at 12 o'clock Noon.\n\nPresent,-All the Members.\n\nHon. H. T. DAVIES,-Recalled at his own request to explain a part of his previous evidence.\n\nMr Caldwell is no doubt correct in stating that he did not procure the sureties for Ma-chow Wong; but when I said that I should require them, and that I would take their recognizances as soon as their validity had been ascertained, Mr Caldwell said \"they are here now,\" and pointed out some men. I asked him whether he guaranteed their validity, and upon his saying that he did, I took them at once.\n\nD. R. CALDWELL,-Cross-examination continued.\n\nI deny that any intercourse whatever has been kept up between any member of my family and Shaplok. She has been many times to my house to see me on business of different kinds, and as a matter of course, she has also seen Mrs Caldwell and spoken to her. I wish to state that when I married Mrs Caldwell, when she was converted, I threw off all Chinese connections. Shaplok came to me only on business matters officially. I suppose if she spoke to Mrs Caldwell...\n\nAfter the time of his apprehension and trial, I found Ma-chow Wong to be an honest man, and I believe that he always was an honest man up to his apprehension.\n\nWith regard to the case mentioned by Mr May in page 39, in which Ma-chow Wong is charged with resisting the Police, I refer the Commission to my letter to the Clerk of Councils dated 5th October, 1857. With regard to Mr May's statement in page 39, that a wealthy Chinaman came to him in secrecy and terror to complain of the manner in which petitions for Ma-chow Wong's pardon were got up; the rich Chinaman I believe to be Tam Achoy, and at my letter of 5th October last, I show why I think he had hostile feelings towards Ma-chow Wong. This I referred to at the time of Mr May's statement. The Commissioners must be mistaken in thinking that I said I would prove the petition in question related to another matter altogether.\n\nPang Wa-ping paid to the paymaster of the Rattler about $200 salvage for rescuing his boat, for which the Paymaster gave a receipt, I witnessing it. I saw Chinese documents belonging to Beaver after his apprehension at the Police Station. It was a kind of certificate from Chu Akwei, the Chief, but who styled himself a Rebel, showing that...\n\n(97)\n\n...had been in his employ, and mention was made there that Ma-chow Wong was closely connected with the Shanghae Rebels. I know that he went to Shanghae. I only know that Wong Kee was a man from Kongnam (Keanguan), I believe, to carry out the Rebel movements. I wish to state that the Wong Kee mentioned there was never intended for Ma-chow Wong. Both the characters were entirely different from his name; the Wong was different and the Kee also, and the fact of his being a Leangnan man made it the less likely. Ma-chow Wong was a Sun-on man.\n\nI do not know the man who accompanied Pang Wa-ping. I could make inquiry concerning him, but I am quite certain that Mr Wade may have gone by the sound, not knowing perhaps the characters of Ma-chow Wong's name.\n\nThis was a red paper folded, I think four times, similar to the paper on which petitions are written, but without the blue back to it. On casting my eyes over the document, this name Wong Kee made no impression on me at all, whereas had it been in the characters of Ma-chow Wong's name, I should certainly have been attracted to them. This was the only paper produced as found on Beaver which I saw.\n\nWith regard to the search of Assow's house, the anonymous letter was my only information that a musical box was stolen. I also knew that a man was in custody for stealing a barometer, which was referred to in the letter. Mrs Caldwell did not detain the messenger, and I took no steps to ascertain its author before acting upon it, as it was impossible to do so. I merely asked who brought it, and I was told it was a boy. I do not now know the author. I considered that, as a Justice of the Peace, and particularly...\n\nThe Master of the Masonic Lodge is elected. My predecessors have been gentlemen of unblemished character.\n\nWhile the lorcha Kee-loong-poo-on was in my name, I, as Registrar General, had authority to search the house. I employed her with European masters-Johnson and Ban-croft were the two-I let her out on charter.\n\nLai Szekai still collects the rents for Mrs Caldwell's sister under a lease which he has of the houses.\n\nI accompanied Mr Grand-Pré in searching the boats in one of which Po-pak-shing was; he was there on the spot, and was cognizant of the particulars himself. I was merely there to assist. I did not in any way direct Mr Grand-Pré; I acted as an Interpreter and explained all the matters to him, and examined the Registers and papers of the boats.\n\nI cannot say whether it was in answer to a question from myself, then sitting on the bench, that Mr Grand-Pré gave the answer which convinced the Magistrate as to the men's innocence. I found the Register and papers in order. I think the boat had a Chinese pass from the head of the Marine department at Canton.\n\nI was present with Mr Anstey, Mr Cluff, Mr May, Mr Brachan, and several others at the Debtor's Gaol-yard on the afternoon of the day on which Mr May apprehended the men on Bonham Strand. I was also up at the tread-mill yard on another occasion with Mr Cluff the morning I apprehended some 160 men, and on both these occasions, knowing the rapidity with which all information flies from the Police Court and the Police Station by the emissaries of the Interpreters and the Lokangs, I considered that I was only faithfully performing my public duty in hastening to the house to search for the article. I did not mean to say that I thought it not prudent to search Assow's house. I meant that I thought it useless, as the information would have got there before me.\n\nI know nothing about what Boggs says of the payment of mail by the pirates to Ma-chow Wong. I do not think it likely that pirates could have done so, because on occasions their fleets were attacked by our men. On my information received from Ma-chow Wong, I refer the Commission to mention made about in my letter of 5th October, 1857. I never heard that Ma-chow Wong was connected with the pirates.\n\nI don't recollect whether I wished Assow to interpret at Ma-chow Wong's trial. I have given him a certificate as Chinese and Malay Interpreter. I don't think I have given him one since Ma-chow Wong's trial. I consider honesty as necessary for an Interpreter.

All this was caused by people imagining that he is some sort of relation to Mr. Catchwell. His name is held as a terror to all Chinese. In 1853, he made arrangements with a large number of vagabonds to take his own district city (Naunton). These vagabonds went from this Colony to the opposite shore and then marched towards the city. Some other vagabonds had previously arranged to open the city gates for them. The gates were opened at the time appointed, but on account of strong winds against them while crossing a bay, they did not arrive at the appointed time. This plot was known to the people, and a great number of village braves rushed out and killed the leader of the force. On examining them, they confessed that Wong Ahkee had ordered them to take the city. The mandarins failed to take the city, and he dares not return to his native place. He has no parents, wife, brothers, or sisters, and the few relations he has are with him now.\n\nHe forms a partnership with the pirate Chiefs Luck-in, Po-flakk-shing, Thong Tony-won, Jon-fai-est, Mo-once-man, and others. Luck-in was a pirate chief in the north, was defeated by one of H.M. Ships at the end of last year. Hol's pirate junk and 17 men were apprehended and afterwards delivered over to the Chinese Authorities at Maughan. They were confined in jail for some time. In the beginning of the year, a man named Leong Ahting came down from Shanghai and informed Wong Ahkee what happened to his boat. Leong Ahting was requested by the pirate in jail to convey this said news. Shang-tony was charged with piracy last year in the Police Court, but through some management of Wong Ahkee, the man got off. The prosecutor was promised she would get back her boat when Thong-toong was come out from the jail, and it is said that when the prisoner came out, Wong Ahkee turned his back against her, and the old woman was obliged to walk away quietly, not daring to say a word more about it. It is further said that having no money to pay lawyers' fees, Wong Ahkee sold some of the guns belonging to that boat. The vessel was immediately fitted up again and given to the pirate chief Mo-once-man, who went out committing piracies. Pr. Pink-String was also charged with furnishing in February last; he and his men and his boat were clearly identified, but it is said that Ahkee bribed them (the witnesses) off.\n\nThere were 2 boats seized, they lying off the central part of the town. Mr. Searthe gave valuable information to the Police, who examined the boats, and they were thought to be honest traders. N. Caldwell went on board, examined the boat and Crew, and found they were honest traders.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-072 - Indviduals - 1858.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 246293, "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": "CO129-072 - Indviduals - 1858", "page_number": 127, "title": "CO129-072 - Indviduals - 1858", "content_text": "did so with his tin story (v. pp. 56, 71, 78), which might have stood very seriously against the accused, had not Mr Jarman, the officer engaged in this case, remembered the facts more correctly, and had not Mr Mitchell himself corrected his first statement. Again, Mr Inglis, (the only old Colonial Official, except Mr Caldwell, well acquainted with Chinese,) showed great and very proper reluctance to give evidence; but can this reluctance be interpreted otherwise than favourably to Mr Caldwell, when it is plain that Mr Inglis had nothing certain to say, and when, yielding to pressure, he fell into mistakes? If this be mercy which Mr Caldwell has received, not merely at the hands of the prosecutors, but in general, then may we well exclaim that it is better in this place to have enemies than friends. The fact appears to us plain, that the fama against Mr Caldwell rested on evidence which would not bear production, and so arose the reluctance of witnesses. And though we should not put our finger in the fire for the truth or falsehood of many reports which may have been going about concerning him, we may remark, that these reports chiefly issued from Tai-ping-shan or its neighbourhood, and the dangers and nas attendant on drawing knowledge were pure well of undefiled truth, make the adventurous possessor duly more importance to such ge than others are disposed to.\n\nThe Report of the Commission itself bears evidence of an objectionable spirit, and we can only explain it by supposing that a majority of the members actuated by a weak dread of appearing to shield or favour the accused, or that they were imposed upon by the reiterated professions and solemnly humble demeanour of the prosecutors. Nothing is established in evidence against Mr Caldwell, but what was never denied by him, and was a matter of public notoriety before the Commission sat. However disposed to condemn his unworthy and blamable connection with Ma-chow Wong, we think it highly creditable to him that he has acted in a straightforward open manner, neither concealing his faults from public criticism, nor seeking to shun the consequences.\n\nOf the four charges which have been found proven, only two were not admitted and notorious, and any rational man may satisfy himself in half-an-hour, that the deliverance of the Commission on these two is very unfair, without being absolutely incorrect.\n\nNo 13 is the most serious of these, and stands as follows with the deliverance on it:-\n\n13. With inducing the Attorney General at the beginning of 1857, to order the release of a great number of men who Mr May knows to have been pirates, and who Mr Caldwell ought to have known at the time were pirates.\n\nThat of the fact stated in charge 13, of the release of the men upon Mr Caldwell's representation as to their character, there is no doubt whatever; and that it appears incomprehensible how any person, with Mr Caldwell's knowledge of the Chinese language, and holding the appointment he did, could have been ignorant of the character of the boats in which the men were seized, and that one at least of these men was a notorious pirate, particularly as it is in evidence that Ma-chow Wong was connected with the boats.\n\nThe only statements we can find bearing on it in evidence, are at pp. 33, 34, 44, 47, 86, 91, 96, 97. First, Mr Anstey states (p. 33), that in the commencement of 1857, twenty people before him charged as pirates, and he were brought discharged every one of them, ordering also their boats to be restored, because Mr Caldwell upon oath declared them to be peaceful traders.” At p. 47 this accurate gentleman admits that he released them, not on Mr Caldwell's oath, but on that of Mr Grand Pré; that he did not discharge the prisoners, but only liberated them on bail; and that his memorandum is silent as to whether he ordered the boats to be restored. These corrections make, of course, all the difference in the world, and conscious of this, Mr Anstey attempted to bolster up his case with new errors and gratuitous suppositions (which the Commission should have checked), such as that Mr Grand Pré was a subordinate of Mr Caldwell, and brought up by Mr Caldwell, in order that the men might be released. When the Commission asserts \"there is no doubt whatever\" that the men were released on Mr Caldwell's representation, it talks big where it should sing small; even Mr Anstey not saying so much, implied opinion on the matter being not except in so far as he retracts, and his evidence, and, if it were, utterly valueless in face of his evident animus and extraordinary misstatements. The other half of the decision is still more objectionable. When Mr Grand Pré examined the boats, Mr Caldwell, belonging to another department, acted as interpreter, and therefore “it is incomprehensible\" how he did not know the men to be piratical! Do the Commission think that a knowledge of Chinese enables a man to know pirates by sight or by smell? and what grounds have they to conclude that these were piratical boats? Mr May says so, and says that Po-pak-shing, a notorious pirate, was on board one of them, and Po-pak-shing, he adds, was connected with Ma-chow Wong. But it is not proved that Mr Caldwell saw or knew Po-pak-shing, though one of his expressions may be understood to imply the former. He solemnly asserts, that up to that time he had never heard of the existence of such a man, and that he found the register and papers of the boat in perfect order. When piratical boats come into this harbour, they do not prominently display indications of their profession. If Chinese mariners are to be deported, and not released on bail, when there is no positive evidence against them, and their papers are in rule, then the harbour might as well be cleared of all China boats whatever. The decision of the Commission on this point may almost be brought to a reductio ad absurdum, for it amounts to this, that it is incomprehensible how any person with Mr Caldwell's knowledge of the Chinese language can find no ground to determine that a boat is piratical when ignorant policemen suspect that it is. Reverse the case: suppose Mr Caldwell had, on his general knowledge of Chinese, concluded the men to have been pirates, and got them deported, would not the virtuous Messrs Anstey and May have had a still better charge against him, and might not there have been a risk of the Commission finding his conduct \"incomprehensible?\"\n\nAs to charge 9, the second of the two new charges which have been found proven, it is in a sense true that Mr Caldwell aided in the acceptance of Sze-kai, his former servant, as bail for Ma-chow Wong, and that Sze-kai had been imprisoned for debt, for a few days, a short time previously; but this wording leaves an unfair impression. From the evidence it only appears that Mr Caldwell \"aided\" in as much as, when questioned by Mr Davies as to the sufficiency of Sze-kai and other three men who tendered bail, he answered in their favour; and there is no reason to suppose that he was wrong in doing so. Sze-kai, though Mr Caldwell's comprador two years before, appears a man of substance, and his imprisonment, which may, possibly, have been unknown to Mr Caldwell, was for a partner's debt which he resisted.\n\nSuch are the direct results of the Commission's inquiry! Even as worded by the Commission, no action could be based upon them; and that wording is unfair, as may be seen from the evidence which was taken down verbatim. Again, as in the case of Dr Bridges, we must protest against the insidious and almost impalpable influence of supposed public opinion.\n\nThough, from its tendency to oscillate between extremes, public opinion is not so just at any given moment as it is on the whole, yet at any moment it ought to be influential; but all the more on that account should it be distinguished from the whispers of interested parties, and the bluster of a few naturally noisy persons. There is always danger of the selfish cunning of the one set, and the thoughtlessness of the other, doing mischief; but this danger, with its attendant evils, is almost unavoidable, when, as in the case before us, there is so much ground for rational censure that the irrational censure of such men as Messrs May and Anstey may, for a time, be confounded with it, to the confusion of truth, and the discouragement of all honest and reasonable criticism.\n\nIn a future article we shall take up some other sides of the case, and in the meantime conclude with expressing a confident hope that those who feel interested in the matter will endeavour to procure and peruse the Evidence, and that they will not allow themselves to be influenced by the rumours which are being circulated as to the character of that evidence and Mr May's freedom as a witness.\n\n126", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-072 - Indviduals - 1858.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 246429, "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": "CO129-072 - Indviduals - 1858", "page_number": 264, "title": "CO129-072 - Indviduals - 1858", "content_text": "St. Merciale.\n\nAdverting to what has already passed see 5817-9, 6307 - I think it is to be regretted that we did not stipulate that Mr. Jevin required more if he and he should, perforce, on application for it obtain the sanction of ... for test indulgen...\n\nHow long has Mr. Iron served?\n\na convenient practice - usually followed in the W.

Governor Caine & Sir Robinson - 1859 [6-12]", "content_text": "SAL\n\n343\n\n(34)\n\nWith reference to charge 4, I can only speak from report and general information.\n\nI had reference to the opinions entertained and expressed against him by Sir George Bonham, the then Governor, and who had known Mr. Caldwell at Singapore, and by the then Chief Magistrate, Mr. Hillier. It occurred to me that Mr. Caldwell made me acquainted with circumstances which I otherwise should not have known, viz: that he, Caldwell, had led a very wild life when at Singapore, that he was an outcast from his family there, and that he had fled from Singapore to China; that before entering into the Government service, he had had command of a boat manned by Chinese, employed in smuggling opium to Whampoa or Canton; that he earned money freely, and spent it as freely amongst the women at Canton, so much so that he acquired from them the name of Shang-kwei, which he told me meant \"teazing devil.\"\n\nThe feeling held against him by Mr. Hillier was caused, as he imagined, by his having had connection with several Chinese women at the same time. The only other part bearing on charge No. 3 is his strict intimacy with Ma-chow Wong, from that intimacy leading him blindly into what may be assumed as a knowledge of other pirates.\n\nI wish to refer the Commission to my letter of the 20th July, 1857, written after the trial of Eli Boggs, as to the impression on my mind on this subject. At the time Mr. Caldwell told me the above, I was in the position of his defender against those who accused him. I now state, as I did in my letter of 20th July, 1857, that from my knowledge of Ma-chow Wong, for many years, he became, owing to his intimacy with Mr. Caldwell, of great power and influence in the Colony, that he exercised this power and influence especially in cases of piracy, that he became in fact almost an arbiter of the fate of those pirates who fell into the hands of the Police.\n\nHe was the acknowledged head of the Sunon nuen or clan in this Colony, he had control over the class of fishermen, who were mostly Suon people, he paid a nominal sum for the lessee-ship of the Central Market, and he had directly under his personal control, the funds of the Sunon people, derived principally from landed property on Marine lot 16 in the Lower Bazaar.\n\nI believe from information I received, which information is contained in the letter of the 20th July, that Ma-chow Wong was in intimate connection with several well-known pirate chiefs, named Looka, Po Pak Shing, Shan-tung Wei, Tai-fai-woot, Monice-ma, and others.\n\nIn January, 1857, two large and heavily-armed boats were pointed out to the Police by the then self-constituted local patriot. These boats were lying off the central part of the town, and were seized by the Police upon the information aforementioned.\n\nFrom what Mr. Grand-Pré told me, and from my recollection of the events at the time,---I was then Acting Assistant Magistrate,---Mr. Mercer directed Mr. Grand-Pré to refer to Mr. Caldwell as to the character of the boats. Mr. Caldwell went with Mr. Grand-Pré on board the boats, and because Mr. Caldwell positively expressed his belief from examination of the books and crew that they were reputable traders, the boats were released.\n\nAbout the 15th July 1857, when I was Acting Assistant Magistrate, I met Mr. Grand-Pré, who was Acting Superintendent of Police. He told me with an air of satisfaction, that he had a charge against Ma-chow Wong. He mentioned the incidents of the case which appeared to amount to a charge of confederation with pirates, and asked my advice.\n\nI told him that as the case appeared a good one, it was his duty to seize Ma-chow Wong's shops, and take Ma-chow Wong into custody immediately. He said he had made a diligent search for Ma-chow Wong, but could not find him.\n\nI recommended him to take personally an interest in the matter, and indicated where I thought he could get information. He seemed equally anxious as I was to do all that was possible to apprehend him and I left the case in his hands.\n\nThe following morning I learned from Inspector Jarman, that he had apprehended Ma-chow Wong, having met him at 10 o'clock that morning. I also learned from Mr. Jarman, confirmed by Mr. Grand-Pré himself, that he, the prisoner Ma-chow Wong, had been in Mr. Grand-Pré's house the preceding night, subsequent to the time he had promised me to do all in his power to apprehend him.\n\nThat fact also forms portion of the letter of 20th July. The prisoner, Ma-chow Wong, appeared at the Police Court on the 16th or 17th, and was admitted to bail, Mr. Caldwell appearing in the Court, and interfering in the case in the prisoner's favour.\n\nOn the 18th of July, information was given to me upon oath, which led to my issuing a warrant for the apprehension of Ma-chow Wong, and search of his shops. The prisoner was apprehended, brought to the Central Police Station.\n\nOn the 19th, or on that day, and many books and papers were seized and examined by Tong Aku, the interpreter at the Court, in presence of Inspector Jarman, and I jotted down, in the shape of memoranda, matters as read to me by Tong Aku, which exhibited to me the bad character of Ma-chow Wong and during the progress of the case as the Books were gone through, the memoranda increased, until I had about five pages of foolscap.\n\n(35)\n\nTWELFTH DAY.\n\nFriday, 18th June, at 12 o'clock Noon. Present,--All the Members.\n\nCHARLES MAY,-Recalled.\n\n...\n\nSome few days before the examination, which lasted ten or a dozen days, concluded, I told the Chief Magistrate that I had those memoranda, and although not referring or relevant to the two cases before the Court, that I would place them in his hands, so that he might be acquainted with the matters therein stated.\n\nI did leave them in his hands, and the Chief Magistrate returned the memoranda to me a morning or two after, and I then said that I should place the documents in the hands of the Government.\n\nI said, \"They are not in any way connected with the two cases. I have a special reason for not sending them, unless you think it absolutely necessary, because several of them bear reference to Mr. Caldwell.\"\n\nThe Chief Magistrate said that it was difficult to decide, but I judged from what he said that he thought there was no such necessity.\n\nThe cases were concluded at the Police Court, and the prisoners were committed for trial in both cases.\n\nThe 1st or 2d day of the proceedings at the Police Court, the Attorney in the case---Mr. Stace---applied to the Chief Magistrate and myself for permission to see all the papers and books in possession of the Police, not at that time produced in Court, including those from which the memoranda had been taken.\n\nThis was granted, and a time appointed for Mr. Stace to be at the Police Station with an Interpreter to make the examination.\n\nI know that the examination was made, for in returning that day from the Police Court, I saw Mr. Stace, Mr. Caldwell, and an Interpreter, sitting in a small office at the Central Police Station, with the books and papers before them.\n\nInspector Jarman was the custodian. The examination was not concluded the first day, and another day was appointed.\n\nThe following day, before the second examination, upon going to the Police Court, I found some books and some papers---the latter in Mr. Caldwell's hand-writing---which I directed to be sent down to the Police Station for the second examination.\n\nAfter the cases were committed for trial, and the deposition had reached the then Acting Attorney General, I had one or two conferences with that gentleman in reference to the cases committed, and I exhibited and read over to him, the memoranda that I have referred to.\n\nPrevious to the trial of the prisoner, I was accidentally going out late from the Central Police Station, when I saw the Acting Colonial Secretary, and the Acting Superintendent of Police, in conversation; the latter spoke to me immediately I advanced towards him, and said, \"the Acting Colonial Secretary has directed me to deliver over the shops of Ma-chow Wong.\"\n\nI then spoke to the Acting Colonial Secretary, and urged that there should be no difference in this case from preceding similar cases, and I urged that the shops should not be given up, as it would have a dangerous influence over the case.\n\nPostponed till to-morrow at 12.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-074 - Lieut.

One of the bribes was offered to induce the Constable to allow the prisoners an interview with Mr Caldwell. I did not consider the prisoner so secure at the Police Station as I thought necessary, and sent him up to the Gaol.\n\nI did not know that the papers which had been sent to Government Office had not been returned to the Police until I heard of their destruction at Government Office, thereafter the papers given up could only have been those belonging to the Kwong Yik Loong [Ma-chow Wong's] shop. I recollect that Mr Grand-Pré said that Mr Caldwell had, by, I think, a note which he had in his hand, applied for the papers of Ma-chow Wong, and I am not quite so certain, but I think Mr Grand-Pré said something about Dr Bridges having authorised their being given up. I am certain that some property remained in the hands of the police, and I have no doubt this property was given up by Mr Grand-Pré, who therefore can give evidence upon it. I have asked both Inspectors, but they can give me no information upon this. I do not know whether I was at that time Acting Assistant Magistrate, or Acting Superintendent of Police, I have endeavoured to find out who gave up the property at the Police Station, and the Inspectors have told me that they did not, and that therefore it must have been Mr Grand-Pré.\n\nPresent,-All the Members, except the Honourable Mr Cleverly, whose place in the chair was taken by the Honourable Mr Davies.\n\nANGUS FLETCHER,-Called and examined.\n\nI formerly had a partner named Innes, who has been dead many years. I believe Mr Caldwell was once in Mr Innes's employ. I do not know of my own knowledge why Mr Caldwell was discharged. I am one of the oldest residents in China, and have known about Mr Caldwell, otherwise than as employed by Mr Innes, for some time, I did not know anything of him beyond that he was a little thoughtless; this was nearly twenty years ago. I do not recollect having ever heard any accusation brought against him.\n\nI do not know under what circumstances Mr Caldwell left my late partner; he left before I joined him. I believe he was Clerk or Book-keeper with him. I never heard a word from Mr Innes, nor from any one else, as to the circumstances under which Mr Caldwell left Mr Innes's employ.\n\n[The Attorney General having been informed that neither to himself nor to any of the public could printed copies of the evidence be furnished, but that he was at liberty to inspect them in the room, and that copies of his own evidence would be furnished, requested that a minute might be made that he had not had any of the fasciculi since the third, and had therefore had no opportunity, and now should have none, of correcting in his own copy, and suggesting to the Commission for correction in theirs such of the errors in the evidence as taken as he was able to correct, as well as of offering suggestions for examination of witnesses]\n\nCHARLES MAY,-Recalled.\n\nI saw Mr Caldwell go into the Chief Magistrate's room with the bail, on the occasion of Ma-chow Wong's being bailed by order of the Chief Justice; this is the extent of my knowledge. I do not recollect how many bail there were, and do not know if the Chief Magistrate desired Mr Caldwell to be present on the occasion. I heard that the Chief Magistrate had had a communication with Mr Caldwell.\n\nAbout the notoriety of the pirate Po-pak Shing, Assow, the Police Court Interpreter, who told me more than twelve months ago that this man was a notorious pirate, can give evidence. As to the connection between Po-pak Shing and Ma-chow Wong, and the buying off of the witnesses, I hand in the name of a witness who can give evidence.\n\nThere was no written order given by me for the delivery of the gold dust to Mr Caldwell, I do not recollect whether I was Superintendent of Police, or Acting Sheriff; I rather think it was as Acting Sheriff. Achak, a clerk in the Registration Office, can say who were the securities in the gold dust affair. I do not know whether the petition referred to in the gold dust affair is in existence, and do not remember whether I gave it back, or whether it was filed.\n\nMr Caldwell himself told me that the boat of which he had command was manned by Chinese, he did not say by Europeans and Indians. I know from what he told me that Ma-chow Wong had offered him $1,000, to abstain from giving evidence so far as it referred to the identification of one of the prisoners, the Captain of the boat I think.\n\nCross-examined.-A man deposed at the Supreme Court that he had command at different times of two boats, one of which was decked, and I should think a schooner, because he told me of his having been nearly drowned in the cabin. The threat of personal violence was deposed to in the Supreme Court. I was not Mr Dixson's informant as to Mr Stace and Mr Caldwell having got permission to take away the books and papers, excepted as I now state. I told Mr Dixson that Mr Caldwell and Mr Stace had examined the books and papers at the Police Station, and that my impression was that Mr Caldwell had received the books and papers from the Police Station.\n\nI taxed my memory as far as I possible could with regard to the memoranda, and I cannot recollect more minutely than I stated. The memorandum number 8 in Mr Caldwell's report does not agree with number 8 in my evidence; there was only one paper, as I have stated with regard to No. 9. There might have been one Johnson, but there was no written order given by me for the delivery of the gold dust to Mr Caldwell.\n\nI did not tell Mr Dixson, what he states in papers.\n\nI remember about Graham, because he was a Graham. He was subsequently imprisoned for felony. He was Sheriff's Officer and robbed a boat. Now I recollect, there were two letters from the Kowloong Commandant,-one to Ma-chow Wong, and one to his partner. I have an impression in my mind that there were very many more important matters not referring to Mr Caldwell, only shewing the bad character of Ma-chow Wong, in my memo.-I placed the memo. in the Chief Magistrate's hands, and read it to the Acting Attorney General. I had given it up before the Attorney General returned, but I told him of it since his return.\n\nOn Saturday the Prisoner was apprehended, on Monday the Attorney General was in the Police Court for the last time, and then only one-sixth of the memoranda had been extracted. I have not the slightest doubt that I told the Honourable the Attorney General what my impression was prior to my knowledge that the books and papers had been destroyed, -that the books and papers of Ma-chow Wong which were at the Police Station had been given up. I remember the sailing of the Phoebe Dunbar with the deported persons. I was Acting Sheriff at the time, and sent in a list to Government of all persons who were then in Gaol under warrants of Justices of the Peace or Stipendiary Magistrates, coming under Ordinance 2 of 1857, viz., persons dangerous to the peace and good order of the Colony. I have no copy of the list, and know that it is in the records of the Gaol, There were other names on the list, put on by order of the Government, and these persons were those who had been summarily convicted, and it was by the Colonial Secretary's order-I believe a verbal one, that these were included in the lot.\n\nAt the time of the taking of the memoranda, and up to the time of my knowledge of the attempt to obtain a pardon of Ma-chow Wong, inasmuch as the memoranda did not refer to the cases for which the prisoner was tried, I had not any idea that the memoranda would be a subject of import. The memoranda were written in a style in which I would write a draft for a letter; they were scribbled. It was singular that the memoranda were not destroyed. I am sure that Roberts told me that he had found about 36 guns on board the supposed Alma. I am not sure whether he said that Mr Caldwell told him that the lorcha belonged to him then, or had belonged to him.\n\nI do not recollect Mr Caldwell searching with me for the security papers in the gold dust affair. I have not the slightest recollection of his doing so.\n\nI believed the list to comprise all prisoners of the classes before mentioned. I had no knowledge of any one fact relating to one prisoner more than to another.\n\nI, myself, had the general management of the deportation, being Acting Sheriff at the time. The list of persons to be deported was made out by me or by persons under my orders.\n\nThe list was made out, and an order given by the Governor for their deportation. Mr Caldwell did not make out the list, nor did he take the men off to the Phoebe Dunbar. I think I reported to the Government that the persons named in the list came within the meaning of Ordinance 2 of 1857, and the Government approved the list. I don't think that I had any letter of instructions from the Governor as to the making out the list.\n\nI made the seizure on Bonham Strand; those who could not find security, and were included in the list, were very likely beggars, but I can't say that they were. I do not think that Mr Caldwell was present when I searched for the security papers, after the petition had been presented. I think it was Roberts who apprehended Beaver.\n\n( 45 )", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-074 - Lieut.

Dr Bridges spoke to me about that case. He asked me, had I seen the prisoners in the case. I said \"No;\" then he asked me to go with him to the Gaol to see them. One of them was so young, and in fact such a child, that he thought it would be anything but justice to try him on a capital charge. I did go to the Gaol and saw the two prisoners, and this one, Lee Atong, was what we would consider in England about the age of 12 to 13. On referring to the depositions I saw very good reasons to conclude that he was not the guilty party, so I took him out of the dock and made him Queen's evidence.\n\nCross-examined,—There was an entry or entries in the books of the Kwong Yik Loong shop, referring to the purchase of the blue dye and sugar bearing on the second case. I certainly think the absence of the evidence to which I allude would weaken the case on the second charge if now tried, for there would be a certain amount of identity lost. I think I recollect some entry in the Kwong Yik Loong books shewing a previous connection between that shop and the vendors of the sugar and blue dye, but I cannot say positively about this. There was documentary evidence, which shewed a dealing and an underhand dealing, on that particular day succeeding the piracy, from about early in the morning till about 2 or 3 in the afternoon, and the absence of that documentary evidence would weaken the case if tried now.\n\nGEORGE COOPER TURNER,-Called and examined. I recollect two clients of mine, Chinese traders-Ng Aling and Chee Mun-kwong, being seized and thrown into Gaol under the Deportation Ordinance, in January 1857. They were arrested under the warrant of Mr Caldwell, I believe. I applied to Mr Anstey, then sitting as Magistrate for their liberation on bail. I spoke to him first privately on the subject, and then made a formal application. He did not say whether he would grant the application when I applied to him privately. When I applied formally at the Police Court, I do not remember whether Mr Caldwell was present or not. My application was refused, in consequence of the information Mr Caldwell had given the Government on the question. I think Mr Anstey at the time told me he refused the bail on this account.\n\nI was present and made the application. The prisoners were not brought into the court; the bail rested entirely with the Government. I then wrote to the Colonial Secretary, and had a letter leading me to believe that bail would be granted. I heard no more, but two or three days after I saw the two men being marched down for deportation by the Phoebe Dunbar. I do not recollect any one stating to Mr Anstey that they were very bad characters, and had been guilty of some offence without specifying what, when I applied for bail I had no intimation from any quarter.\n\nI did not after I saw the men complain to any one. I thought the case must have been sufficiently strong, or the Government would not have pursued such a course with them. I do not to this hour know on what ground they were deported, except, as I have said before, that they were spies sent by the mandarins. There was no evidence given before the Police Court as to their being spies sent by the mandarins, and I do not know whether they were examined by the Executive Council.\n\nI have had no conversation with the Attorney General before he gave his evidence to the Commission. I am a little deaf, and can't hear distinctly, but apprehend the questions put to me.\n\nI don't exactly recollect whether Mr Caldwell was sitting on the bench at the time, but the conversation between Mr Caldwell and Mr Anstey was private, and I did not hear it.\n\nI remember that something was said about the application for bail standing over for a few days. I think Mr Caldwell was on the bench. [Read letter of 19th January, 1857, from Colonial Secretary to Mr Cooper Turner, saying that the bail of 'Ng Ating cannot be sanctioned until the Chinese New Year holidays have passed by.]\n\nIt is very likely that Mr Caldwell opposed the bail in this private conversation, although I did not hear him. Mr Caldwell is in the habit of frequently speaking to the Magistrate on the bench. I do not think I informed the Attorney General that the prisoners had been deported.\n\nI cannot give an opinion whether there were any persons other than Mr May, attached to the Police Department, capable of conducting the prosecution of Ma-chow Wong to a successful issue; nor as to what would have been the fate of the case, had not Mr May taken an interest in seeing the inquiry properly conducted.\n\nThe perusal of my letter of 14th January, 1857, to the Acting Colonial Secretary, applying for bail for 'Ng Kaniting, does not enable me to add anything to what I have already stated, except that there is difference in the name.\n\nWILLIAM THOMAS BRIDGES. Recalled at his own request, to correct part of his evidence given on the 29th ultimo, and also to make a statement in answer to some remarks made by the Attorney General.\n\n[The Chairman announced that cross-examination would be allowed on Dr Bridges's corrections of his evidence; but that, although his statement and any answer to it on the part of the Attorney General would be received, no cross-examination would be allowed on either of their statements.]\n\nI believe that I stated that Ma-chow Wong's books and papers were referred for examination to Messrs Caldwell and Mongan, previous to the appearance of the article in the China Mail. Such was my impression, but I find I was under error, and that the reference was made during the examination, was written by the Clerk of Council, and this is probably the reason of the fact escaping my mind.\n\n(65)\n\nHad the matter remained after the appearance of the article, and most probably in consequence of it. I may state also, that the letter requesting the examination, was written by the Clerk of Council. I told the Governor, stated to him what I had heard, and asked him if anything of the kind had taken place. His Excellency stated, that he should take no official notice of anything which occurred before the Commission until it had concluded its labours; but he assured me that he had made no such statement, and added that it would have been impossible for him to have appointed me Acting Colonial Secretary if he had done so.\n\n...\n\n1\n\nI was Acting Attorney General, from the 28th February, 1852, to 13th February, 1853: and from 13th April, 1854, to the 15th January, 1856, with the exception of one week. I cannot say if I communicated with any one regarding my report to Mr Secretary Labouchere, recommending the establishment of a Thuggee police system, and the placing Mr Caldwell at the head of it. I have no doubt I told somebody of it. I was requested by Mr Labouchere officially to make this report. I had a long interview with Mr Labouchere and Mr Ball, regarding the different questions connected with the colony, and I had a letter from Mr Elliott requesting me to put what I said to Mr Labouchere in writing, which I did, and to which I had an answer thanking me for it.\n\nI decline to answer the question whether I have any knowledge, theoretical or practical, of that kind of police. I decline to answer what I know about it. If the Commission sits on the subject, I shall be happy to give them the information I have got. I decline to answer whether it was to be introduced here with or without modifications. I don't know that my suggestion was refused. It has not been adopted. No question arose as to Mr Caldwell's antecedents making him unfit for such high office. I do not know whether I have kept the letter from the Colonial Office or not. I was about to be married at the time I received it, and had plenty of other things to think about.\n\n5th January, 1856.\n\nSIR. In acknowledging your letter of the 1st instant, I am directed to inform you, that the nomination by H. M's. Government of Mr Anstey to the office of Attorney General of this colony, has been officially announced by the Secretary of State. H. E. the Governor directs me to express to you his high sense of the zeal and ability with which you have discharged the duties imposed on you, while exercising the important functions of Attorney General of Hongkong.\n\n(Signed)\n\nW. T. MERCER.\n\nI then turned up a letter from Mr Mercer, in which he states he was unwilling to express himself the Governor's opinion, and therefore left it to His Excellency to write in his own hand. I also lay in before the Commission, letters from the Lieutenant Governor, from Admiral Stirling, and a letter presented to me on the 14th January, and signed by the greater portion of this community, expressing their opinion of my conduct during the five years I had been in this colony.\n\nI should never have shewn these documents to anybody, but it is only in a case like this I am compelled to bring them forward, considering that it was impossible His Excellency the Governor could have forgotten the official letter, not three weeks old, or could have been unaware of the opinion in which I was held by my fellow servants, and by the community at large.\n\nI wish to state, that I do not consider it to be a question of credibility between His Excellency the Governor and the Attorney General, but that I believe the statement, to be knowingly made, with the deliberate intention to attempt to injure me.\n\nI have also to state, that when I returned to this colony, Mr Anstey shewed no backwardness in making my acquaintance; he in no way behaved toward me as a person who had been guilty of malpractices, and that, considering his line of conduct towards me recently, it is almost impossible, that had so important a charge been made against me by the Governor, he would not have brought it forward long ago.\n\nI wish merely to add...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-074 - Lieut.

JOHN ROBERTS, Deputy Inspector of Police and Deputy Inspector of Markets,—Called and examined.\n\nI recollect the apprehension of a man who was charged with stealing a watch from Mr Lapraik. I was examined in the gaol upon a subsequent charge of piracy against the same man.\n\nThe mode in which the remuneration was to be distributed was agreed on by Mr Caldwell, Mr Randall, myself, and Mr Heaton the second engineer. A certain portion went to the ship, coal, wear and tear, &c., a portion to the crew, and a portion to the Captain, Engineers, and officers.\n\nThe Elders of the village came on board and made an arrangement with Mr Caldwell for the payment of a sum of money if we could catch these desperadoes, but I do not know the amount.\n\nI was examined in the presence of the Acting Colonial Secretary, Mr Caldwell, Mr Inglis, and a Chinese prisoner named Kwan Chun-hee. From circumstances, I imagined this man was accused from dislike between him and the second Engineer and the Captain. When Roberts and Lyons asked me these questions, they did not tell me they should want me to give evidence. When I came here yesterday, Roberts told me he had written down what I had said. I told him I thought it very curious, and that if I had known that, I should not have said anything.\n\nWhen the boat went off with Mr Caldwell, I saw the men wading in the mud and trying to get on shore. The vessel was so far off that I could not see whether they landed or not; they may have done so; there was continually firing in the direction of the villages, and great numbers of people on shore. The steamer was about a mile and a half from the shore.\n\nRe-examined,—During the time in which I was employed on board the Eaglet we never made any prisoners. In the Kulan affair there was loss of life sustained—five of the Rattler's and six or eight of the Powhattan's men were killed, besides other casualties.\n\nThe information that the junks captured at St John's were pirates was obtained from a fleet of two or three hundred junks which we met on our way to Mamee. We were going to Nowchow for a convoy and fell in with this fleet. We hailed them, and asked if they had seen the fleet we were about to convoy. They told us that the pirates had gone ahead, and we then ran into Mamee, where I think we got information that the pirates had proceeded farther up. The Captain and Pilot were on the paddle-box, and they had the conversation with these junks.\n\nThere was a rumour that the steamer was to receive $5,000 for the Swatow affair if the villages had been taken. The Eaglet's Comprador lived on board the ship, and went with us in the cruises. When in harbour he went ashore and brought off with him provisions as required. I do not know his name, or that any person living on shore acted as Ship's Comprador. I do not know by name Szekai.\n\nI once prosecuted a servant of mine called Ahing who was in the steamer; and I remember a gunner, Roderick, a Portuguese, who, after he quitted the vessel, was indicted for a larceny but acquitted; but I have no recollection of any other person whom I have seen on board the Eaglet having been brought up for any offence. I have no recollection of seeing any one wearing spectacles coming on board except as a passenger. I have seen Passengers wearing spectacles.\n\nI never received any other sum than the $55 either as prize-money or remuneration for extra or dangerous service.\n\n[Lai Sze-kai shown to witness.] This was the comprador of the steamer, and used to accompany us in all our voyages.\n\nMa-chow Wong and Kwan Chun-hee and this man. When I was examined there was a paper shown to me, and I was asked if I had ever seen the paper before. The answer I gave was that I had seen the paper before, that it was written by a friend of mine about a year before; it was relating to the sale of a lorcha.\n\nThe Acting Colonial Secretary then remarked that the prisoner had that paper in his possession, and had given it to Kwan Chun-hee, of the lorcha. The Acting Colonial Secretary then went on to say that the paper had been given by this prisoner to Kwan Chun-hee within the last few days in Gaol, and that Kwan Chun-hee had given it up to accuse the prisoner about the searching of the prisoner at the Station, and I said I thought it was impossible he could have been locked up, without any paper which he might have had on his body being found.\n\nThe Acting Colonial Secretary asked me if I had ever seen the prisoner before his arrest. I told him I had seen him one time previously, when he was making a charge in the Central Police Station. He then asked me if I could recognise a man named Yik-foo, if I saw him. He then asked me if the prisoner was not Yik-foo, and I said that he was not.\n\nThe Acting Colonial Secretary then sent me round the body of the Gaol to take another look. I returned, and told him I was well assured the prisoner was not Yik-foo. Mr Caldwell then asked me, as the prisoner was sick at the time, could his sickness not have altered him, so that I could not recognise him. I assured him he was not Yik-foo, upon which I was dismissed.\n\nA short time afterwards I met the Acting Colonial Secretary at the Central Police Station, and in speaking to him I remarked that I had been told by one of the European prisoners, that the paper had been in Gaol since the conviction of Kwan Chun-hee.\n\nI then told him that Kwan Chun-hee had already brought a charge against Tong Akü which had been proved false. The charge against Tong Aku was after the sessions at which Ma-chow Wong had been convicted. Dr Bridges said that he would see into the matter, that he would inquire amongst the prisoners in the Gaol, and ascertain whether it was as I said with reference to the paper.\n\nI again saw the Acting Colonial Secretary up in the Police Court, when he told me that what I said was correct, and that he was convinced the paper had been in gaol all the time.\n\nI remember the apprehension of Beaver; he was apprehended and brought to the Police Station by Mr Caldwell. I was present when he brought him there. I searched him, and found on him pieces of red paper, eight or nine inches long, with Chinese characters, which were interpreted to me by one of the Chinese in the station named Ahee.\n\nIt was to the effect, that Beaver was an American, a very good man, and had been some time in his employ; I don't know whether the interpretation I put upon the paper or not. I kept it for a day or two. When he was examined at the Police Court, the paper was produced by me before Mr Mitchell. I cannot recollect whether it was interpreted in Court. I recollect perfectly telling Mr Mitchell what the effect of it was.\n\nIn a day or two after Beaver was remanded, I was sent for by the Acting Colonial Secretary. At about 6 o'clock in the morning I went to the Acting Colonial Secretary's house. He commenced asking me, as licensing day was coming on, about the character of the different Public-house keepers.\n\nAfter that was finished I told him about this man Beaver, and a case of piracy which I had known, and which had occurred in the previous January. I told him about a gun being purchased from the lorcha, also that the money had not been paid, and that an order had been given, I was under the impression to Ma-chow Wong.\n\nThe pirate who took the lorcha was Chu-kwai, and he had an European with him. The Acting Colonial Secretary said he would like very much to see the order; it was for $80.\n\nThe lorcha came in two days afterwards. I boarded her as she came to an anchor about half-past four or five in the morning. I took the Captain of the lorcha, and Achong, the Chinese owner, up to Dr Bridges's house about 7 o'clock, and they produced a paper which they said was the one to which I alluded.\n\nIt was only an acknowledgment of having taken a gun worth $70, which they intended to pay for. There was no order on any particular house. The paper was then sent together with the first paper found on Beaver's person to Mr Wade to be translated; and the Acting Colonial Secretary told me that as Mr Caldwell had already a charge for confederation with pirates against Beaver, I had better send my witnesses down to him.\n\nThe witnesses were first sent down to Mr Caldwell, and then went before the Magistrate. After the paper was translated, it was returned to me by Mr Grand-Pié, and after getting it I went before the Magistrate again, with the witnesses, and the paper was again produced before the Assistant Magistrate Mr Mitchell.\n\nI do not know whether it was interpreted to him at that time. The examination lasted over a space of three weeks, and the paper was taken there every day for examination. The witnesses failed to identify Beaver, and he was sentenced to find security for three months, or quit the colony; he quitted the colony.\n\nThis paper was never to my knowledge in Mr Caldwell's possession. He saw it, but I don't know that he read it at the Police Court. After the investigation was over, Beaver asked for his papers, but Mr Mitchell said that they were to be retained.\n\nThe last time I saw the paper was at the Magistracy, when he was committed to the Gaol upon not being able to find security. I have not seen it since. I have looked over the papers in the Magistracy, and that document is not attached to the case.\n\nBeaver told me that he had been in the employ of Mr Caldwell and Ma-chow Wong on board a lorcha. If I had not been told, I should not have taken my witnesses to Mr Caldwell, on account of Beaver having been in Ma-chow Wong's employ before.\n\nI told Mr May about the paper while the trial was going on. I know from reference to my chart, that Luy-chow near Hainan is from 8 to 10 miles from the mouth of a river. It stands a little way back from the shore. I have been past, but never in it.\n\n[Read Lyons' evidence concerning his visit to the Gaol to inquire about Beaver and the paper, and Beaver's conversation with himself.]\n\nI agree with nearly every portion of it. Beaver himself told me that he was with Akwai. I was at Boggs's trial, and saw the paper produced. I do not know what was done with it.\n\nI had seen the paper at the Police Station, and knew that Boggs was going to produce it. I believe the paper was in a tin box which he had. It was given into the hands of the Constable, and carried to the Supreme Court in the usual way.\n\nI read it, and recollect it saying something about Ma-chow Wong, the brother or brother-in-law of Mr Caldwell, being a good man, and recommending him. I have an idea it said something about provisions.\n\nI do not know whether the paper was produced at the Police Court. I thought the paper was in Mr Caldwell's handwriting, but am not certain of it. I do not recollect his signature being to it; it might have been.\n\nCan swear to Mr Caldwell's handwriting now, but could not then. Boggs told me the paper was from Mr Caldwell, and told me to take care of it as he would produce it on his defence.\n\nI do not know what connection ever existed between Mr Caldwell and Boggs, further than that Boggs was in Akwai's lorcha, which was said to be connected with Ma-chow Wong.\n\nI heard the evidence of Randoll and Stone, and do not agree in their version of our conversation. Mr Randoll told me that $5,000 was the first agreement, and that $12,000 was subsequently paid for the bombardment of the village.\n\nRandall said nothing about the pirates taking any boats from Ma-mee. The pirates were captured and taken into Ma-mee. He then told me that he was very much disappointed in not being able to capture the junk which was loaded with opium.\n\nI asked him how he knew she was a pirate. He said, \"they did not care what the devil she was, so that she had the opium on board.\" Randall did tell me that they got $12,000 for bombarding the village at Swatow, and made use of the word squeeze with reference to it.\n\nHe said his share was $500, and the Engineer's $250. I knew that Mr Caldwell was master of the Eaglet and know nothing of her cruises except that she convoyed. I never saw her out at sea.\n\nAt one time I was in her neighbourhood, and saw part of her convoy. I was then going to Hoihow on the West Coast, and was told it was part of her convoy, but did not see the steamer.\n\nI do not know whom she was owned by.\n\nMANOEL DA SILVA, Sergeant in the Water Police,—Called and examined.\n\nI remember the apprehension of Po-Pak-Shing on a charge of piracy. I had his boats and family in custody, and believe they, the boat and family, were connected...\n\n(77)\n\nPage 365", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-074 - Lieut.

When the prisoners were taken ashore—two women and three or four children remained on board. I had orders that if they wanted to go on shore, and buy anything I was to send a Chinese constable with them. One day when I went to market, I saw the woman at Ma-chow Wong's house, and asked her what she was doing there; she said she was there to buy something. I told her to come along with me and took her on board again. When the case was brought on before the Magistrate and remanded, all the witnesses left the place. The complainant came to me before they went away, and stated he believed they were going to be bribed. I went and told Mr May of it, and asked him to give me his idea about it. As Mr May did not give me any orders to prevent them going away, I was not able to do so.\n\nI remember the two boats being seized in January 1857; one of the boats after delivery removed to opposite the Central Market, where, in passing, I saw Ma-chow Wong on board. I recollect seizing the boat off Kwong Yik Loong, and I know that that boat was in my custody shortly before the crew being charged with piracy and murder. Mr May asked me if I could get any evidence that the men were being bribed. I have seen Ma-chow Wong after the case I have before mentioned in communication with persons to whom boats had been delivered over in cases of piracy which had broken down.\n\nAdjourned till to-morrow at 12 o'clock.\n\nTWENTIETH DAY,\n\nFriday, 9th July, 1858, at 12 o'clock Noon.\n\nPresent,-All the Members, except the Hon. Mr Davies.\n\nNORMAN RAMSAY MASSON, Acting Registrar to the Supreme Court,-Recalled.\n\nI was present in Court when Eli Boggs was tried. I have heard of a paper which was said to have been produced by Boggs, but I do not recollect seeing any paper in Boggs' hand, neither do I recollect hearing him read from one. No paper was put into my hands from Boggs and read by me. I do not remember any paper being handed to the Jury. There is no paper amongst the records of the Supreme Court read by Boggs on his trial, and it is my opinion that no paper was read by him in court.\n\nWILLIAM HENRY MITCHELL, Assistant Magistrate, Recalled at his own request to make an additional statement.\n\nI stated in my last examination that I did not recollect any seizure of tin having been made in the case in question, nor did I, until afterwards meeting Mr Caldwell, when he brought to my recollection faintly, that there had been a seizure and a subsequent investigation before the Magistrate. I caused a very strict search to be made in the records of our department for any case bearing upon the matter, and at last one was found dated 29th and 30th of June 1855. The case came before Mr Hillier, which was one sufficient reason why I might not have known anything at all about it. I observe in looking over the case that the warrant for the seizure of certain tin was granted by me on the 20th June, was put into execution by Mr Caldwell on the 23rd, and the case did not come before the Magistrate until the 29th and 30th following; so that, beyond the mere granting of the warrant, I had nothing more to do with it.\n\nCross-examined, I knew Tong Achik the brother of Tong Aku the late Interpreter. He was also himself an Interpreter at the Police Court. I remember his dismissal from the Government employ. His dismissal was on the grounds that certain documents were found in the case of a piratical vessel brought in by H.M. steamer Cruizer. From the documents it appeared that Tong Achik was mixed up in a very improper manner with those pirates. There was a particular letter found amongst those papers in which Tong Achik was thanked by his \"brethren of the seas,\" as they figuratively styled themselves, for having by means of false interpretation I think got off from punishment certain persons charged with piracy, I think at the November or December Sessions preceding. I recollect on one occasion myself authorising Mr Lay to go with Mr Caldwell, I think to the Kowloong mandarin, respecting some case, but forget whether it was with reference to Achik. I don't recollect receiving any information in this case from Ma-chow Wong in Mr Caldwell's house upon which I acted.\n\nRe-examined. The warrant which I issued in the tin case was dated the 20th, and only executed on the 23rd. I do not know what occasioned the delay. I have read the depositions in the case. If I had had to deal with that case, and if I had hesitated to commit it to the Supreme Court, I should have sentenced the men to three months' imprisonment for having unlawful possession of the tin. I should have done so on the following grounds: -Seventy-one blocks of tin are seized by Mr Caldwell in the hong of one of the richest brokers in the Lower Bazaar; the property is proved to have been stolen property; when called upon to account for his possession of it, he states that he got it on sale by commission from a bumboatman, whom he is unable to produce. As a bumboatman is a pauper trader of the lowest class, I should have concluded at once that the broker could not have received $700 worth of property from such a man without his having good reason to suppose that it was dishonestly come by.\n\nI am not certain that no Chinese papers or translations were produced to me by Mr Caldwell or any one else at the examination into Beaver's case; I have no recollection, whether Mr May commenced the investigations in Beaver's case. I have recently read the depositions, and observe some reference in the early stage of the proceedings to some documents which were to be produced by Mr Caldwell.\n\nWILLIAM TARRANT, Proprietor and Editor of the Friend of China,--Called and examined.\n\nI have never to the best of my recollection made any statement in writing to the Attorney General, about any such connection, nor handed to him any statement in writing made by any other person.\n\nI may have written letters to individuals in which Mr Caldwell, Eli Boggs, and the Eaglet's name were mentioned. I used to take a great deal of interest in the movements of the rebel squadron which was here, with a view to finding out what their objects, and who their leaders, were. In the course of those inquiries I became acquainted with Eli Boggs. On one occasion Boggs said to me that the Eaglet was playing the very deuce with the rebels altogether, and that the Eaglet took every opportunity of capturing their boats wherever she found them. He mentioned a great atrocity which had been committed on the coast, in which a great many men had been killed by the Eaglet's guns, and of which little was known here. I asked him to get me what proof of it he could, and if he got me good clear proof of the matter I would expose it. He told me that he would employ a person to go on board the Eaglet to watch and let me know what went on. Not long after that he told me about some guns that had been piratically obtained by Ma-chow Wong, and Boggs affected to be very bitter against Ma-chow Wong. Not long after that I happened to be in the market close by Ma-chow Wong's house, and saw Boggs go in. I followed him into the house, and found him in a very jovial conversation with Ma-chow Wong. It appeared to me that he was playing a double part, and I never spoke to him afterwards, and he has never had the audacity to call upon me since.\n\nThis was about the end of 1856.\n\nI remember the gold dust robbery. I do not know that the prisoners brought up were in any way connected with Ma-chow Wong. I have been interpreter at the Police Court, I think, about four years. During this time I have seen a great number of cases in which persons have been charged with piracy. I don't recollect seeing Ma-chow Wong himself in the Court, but have seen his friends who were interested in the cases come up. I know some men who were generally employed by him as messengers. If there was any case in which a lawyer was engaged, and if the lawyer was not in time, these men went for him. This was in cases where men were charged with piracy. I remember also these persons offering themselves as bail for persons charged with piracy. Mr Stace was the lawyer I know. Po-Pak-Shing was a notorious pirate.\n\nI was in the Police Court when a Chinese petition was brought by some men, who stated that they were the real emigrants, regarding the return of the gold dust. Mr May was sitting Magistrate, and I was interpreter. I interpreted the petition to Mr May, but do not now recollect its contents. I heard the man saying that he was authorized to come and receive the gold dust. I think Mr May sent him to Mr Caldwell, and also asked him about the letter authorising him to come. He went to Mr Caldwell, and I have no recollection whether he came back or not. I don't recollect whether Mr May gave him a note to take to Mr Caldwell. The gold dust was given over by Mr Caldwell.\n\nI first came to China in 1835, and have resided here since 1840. I knew Mr Caldwell by repute as far back as 1836, and saw him at Whampoa in 1838. I first became acquainted with him in 1841, when he commanded the brig Thistle, owned by Akwei. When I first knew Mr Caldwell by repute, he held a situation with Mr Innes as Clerk. What I heard about Mr Caldwell was mere hearsay, and I hardly know how far I am justified in speaking of it. I may say this, that on one occasion I asked Mr Caldwell regarding the reports going about him, and he told me that Messrs Jardine, Matheson & Co., had investigated the matter for him, and had certified to Mr Innes that the report to which I alluded was erroneously based. I think Mr Caldwell said Messrs Jardine, Matheson & Co., or some member of the firm, had given him a letter to that effect. The report was, I believe, that he had not accounted for the proceeds of some Opium which had been entrusted to him for sale. I know the report threw Mr Caldwell under a cloud entirely with the community in China. I know nothing further than this, and that as a Shipmaster he was as much respected as the generality of that class. I heard this report from a great many. Markwick, the late Government Auctioner, was the first who told me of it. This was in 1840. Mr Caldwell's character since then is as well known to the public as to me.\n\nOf my own knowledge I know nothing beyond the reports about his being mixed up with Ma-chow Wong.\n\n'NG MUN-SOW, Interpreter at the Police Court,-Recalled.\n\nI remember two boats being seized off the central part of the town, and Po-Pak-Shing being seized on a charge of piracy connected with them. After several remands the witnesses for the prosecution were not forthcoming, because I was there when they came but do not recollect having any conversation with them. I heard that they were willing to give about $850 if the men should be released. I did not hear this from them, but from men in the town. What I heard was that they were willing to expend this money in getting his release. I did not hear in what way—nor whether it was to be given to any person. I was not the interpreter in the case, and the men did not speak to me, as they would have done had I been.\n\nI think it was Lun Loong and Sei Hing who bailed Po-Pak-Shing, and the other prisoners. These two were shops with which Ma-chow Wong had something to do. I think there was no doubt that Ma-chow Wong knew of Po-Pak-shing being a notorious pirate. I have heard that Mo-Mee-Ma, also is a very notorious pirate. Shan-tung Wei and Tai-fai Woot were notorious pirates, and were once charged with piracy before the Magistrate. In both cases I think the prosecutor was absent. It is difficult for me to state from my own knowledge what connection there was between these pirates and Ma-chow Wong.\n\nI know that Shan-tung Wei said to one of his relations who is residing in the town, that he gave $500 to Ma-chow Wong, and yet he said he could not get back his boat. I know the case of a man being apprehended for stealing a watch from Mr Lapraik. The arrest was by ...\n\n(79)", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-074 - Lieut.

Co. steamer Auckland; three were seized in the town, they were undoubtedly pirates, and were charged by parties having nothing to do, as far I know, with Mr Caldwell. The same day on which these three were brought before me, but at a latter period of the day, the 72 others were also brought up by Mr Caldwell. It seemed to me clear that a great many of them were pirates, or had been, shortly before they were seized, acting in conjunction with pirates, that some others were prisoners, and that a great proportion were certainly rebels, but whether only rebels and not also pirates I cannot say. As Mr Caldwell swore that he had no doubt, from all the appearances, as well as from the evidence given, that the boats in which the 72 men were seized were pirate boats, and that he should have had no hesitation in bringing them in himself as pirate boats, and as such there was not a distinct act of piracy sufficient for me to commit any of them for trial, I discharged three, and committed the others to Gaol, to await a reference to the Government.\n\nIn the second had it not broken down in the Police Court for lack of clear and unequivocal proof of the meaning of the prisoner's words. Since then, that is to say since the summer of 1856, no such case has occurred, and that satisfies me more than ever that until then nothing had been done either by Mr Caldwell or by anybody else conversant with the Chinese to deter them either by precept or by example. Indeed, upon the occurrence of either the first or second of these two cases, I myself asked Mr Caldwell if he had ever made any notification on the subject to the Chinese—he said he had not. I asked him if mine was a singular case, when he said, \"Oh no! I have had bribes repeatedly offered to me by Chinamen, and some much larger than what the man offered you,\" which, to use the words of the man in the first case, was \"$100,\" or so. I expressed my very strong disapprobation of his indifference to the opinion of the Chinese upon such a matter, affecting so nearly the character of the British Government, but he did not appear to regard it in that light. No notification whatever on the subject existed in the Supreme Court for the admonition of the Chinese against the crime of bribery, until after the first of these two cases was disposed of, when at my request the Chief Justice directed somebody, I think Mr Caldwell himself, to prepare one and put it up. And the Chief Justice said that it would be cruel for me to prosecute the man for a mere offence against the bribery laws, since His Lordship believed that nothing had been done since the Colony began to make known what our laws on the subject really were. I therefore waived my application for an attachment, and the prisoner was despatched with a suitable reprimand.\n\nnor under Section 3 of Ordinance 2 of 1850. I did not know, and I do not know now, that these rebels were arrested on the information of Ma-chow Wong. I only know from hearsay, that Mr Scarth took some steps, of what kind I do not know, to obtain their release.\n\nWith regard to the case of Po-pak-shing, the notorious pirates, I wish to state, that he and five others were first charged before me on the 19th January, 1857, with an act of piracy on Portuguese Lorcha No. 47. I took a very great interest in the case, and I may say almost acted the part of Superintendent of Police in it. I only succeeded on that occasion however in getting one witness, and after various remands, at the end of 12 days, was obliged to discharge them, but I bound over Po-pak-Shing to appear to answer any charge within one month. Four days after this, on the 7th February, 1857, I got another witness and Po-pak-Shing was again brought before me. There seemed to be some chance of obtaining many more witnesses from Macao. I wrote to His Excellency, who wrote to the Governor of Macao; but after some delay it was clear that I should get no more witnesses, that I should not even get the first witness again, and that I should probably have a difficulty in retaining the present one. Po-pak-Shing however was clearly guilty of piracy. He had been seized in one of the boats in which the 17 men were seized who had been charged before the Attorney General, and discharged by him on the evidence of Mr Grand-Pré as to the honesty and peaceful character of the boats. Mr Grand-Pré swore to the same effect before me in this case, and that he had examined the boats with Mr Caldwell, and seen their Register. Under all the circumstances, therefore I discharged the prisoner. [The cases are referred to by Mr May in page 34.]\n\nThe Honourable Mr DAVIES, (Chief Magistrate) a Member of the Commission,—Examined.\n\nThe man charged with the larceny of Mr Lapraik's watch was brought before me. That charge breaking down after two remands, I was upon the point of discharging him when Mr Caldwell deposed that he thought he had evidence to support a charge of piracy and murder against him. The only witness brought forward was a convict under sentence of 15 years' transportation. After two more remands, there being no further evidence, he was discharged. I know nothing as to Ma-chow Wong having got up the case. This witness was not the same as the one who gave evidence against Tong Akü the interpreter, but I believe Mr Caldwell will state that he had at one time proposed to call one of the witnesses in Tong Aku's case also as a witness in this case. Nothing was said about the piracy and murder before the watch case was on the point of being dismissed.\n\nAs to Eli Boggs's case, I recollect nothing whatever of any paper of the nature described by Lyons in his evidence [see page 5] being produced before me in the Police Court, I do not say that no paper whatever was produced to me, but I have not recollection of any, and if it had been of the nature described, I must have recollected it. I remember a pirate flag or pass made of calico being produced. I recollect the tin box being produced in the Police Court. I have searched the Gaol books, and there is no mention of any property of Eli Boggs being at any time in the Gaol.\n\nOn the 21st July, the next day, 24 men were brought before me, charged with the same offence as Ma-chow Wong and the other were charged with on Friday the 17th, and Ma-chow Wong and the other man were again placed in the dock. On this case I sat alone, and after ten sittings, I committed Ma-chow Wong and 25 others for trial, and upon this case he was convicted. Mr May and I sat, as I have said, together on the other case, and upon it Ma-chow Wong and another were committed for trial. In neither case was he admitted to bail until after he was committed. He was then bailed by order of the Chief Justice, the Crown Solicitor looking to the sufficiency of the sureties.\n\nWhen I heard of the statement affecting Mr Caldwell which Eli Boggs had made in his defence, I was very much struck with it. I went to the Acting Colonial Secretary, and asked him if he had heard of it, and whether he thought it was possible there was any truth in it, for, said I, \"it seems so very detailed and circumstantial, that really I think you ought to inquire into it.\" He said, \"Oh no I know Caldwell's character perfectly well, and I am sure it's all nonsense,\" and from what he said I thought the same.\n\nI have mentioned this here, merely to shew that up to that time, I had never heard the faintest whisper of anything against Mr Caldwell, or of any connection between him and Ma-chow Wong.\n\nOn the 17th July, 1857, Ma-chow Wong and another were charged before me by Mr Grand-Pré, with knowingly receiving sugar piratically stolen. The only witness besides Mr Grand-Pré, was Sergeant da Silva. There was no evidence whatever to justify me in detaining the defendants, but the circumstances were such as led me to suppose that evidence of criminality might be forthcoming on a future occasion. I therefore bound them over to appear and answer any charge within six weeks. The two sureties were procured by Mr Caldwell.\n\nI am almost certain it was upon this occasion that Mr Inglis was sitting on the bench on my left hand, and Mr Caldwell on my right hand. At the commencement of the case, Mr Inglis said to me in a loud voice, \"I think you ought to know, Sir, that this Ma-chow Wong is a notorious scoundrel, and has been convicted of receiving stolen goods.\" Mr Caldwell immediately replied, also aloud, \"That's quite a mistake, Mr Inglis; no such thing ever happened.\" Towards the end of the case Mr Inglis whispered to me, \"Mr Caldwell is Ma-chow Wong's adopted son,\" or he may have said \"adopted father, I don't know which. I made no remark at the time, but at the end of the case I said quietly to Mr Caldwell, \"I have heard something, Mr Caldwell, about your connection with this case, which, if it were said of me, I should perhaps feel it indelicate in me to be present during the inquiry. It is for you to consider whether you know of any reason which should make you think you ought not to be present.\" I said no more, and said I should say no more. Upon consideration I have some doubt whether I am correct as to the day on which this occurred.\n\nI did not give Mr Caldwell time to make any remark, and he made none.\n\nOn Monday, the 20th July, Dr Bridges requested me to take a case which was coming on against Ma-chow Wong. I said, \"It is not my day, I have Petty Sessions business to attend to; it will be Mr May's case.\" Dr Bridges explained to me, that he believed Mr May to be in some way prejudiced against Ma-chow Wong, and, I think he said, against Mr Caldwell also, and that therefore he thought it very desirable I should take the case. My objection to doing so, solely arose from a desire that Mr May's feelings should not be hurt, and it was ultimately arranged we should both sit.\n\nMr May has asked me to mention what my impression is of his mode of conducting the inquiry. I state at once, that he exhibited a great deal of zeal, and that he strayed beyond the simple duties of a Magistrate, and acted partly no doubt as Superintendent of Police; and well it was he did so. I really do not think that he was guilty of even the smallest act, from which—even now when I look back on his conduct, with the further knowledge of his relations with Mr Caldwell—I could, even if I had the greatest wish to do so, conclude that he acted unfairly or with hostile feelings towards Mr Caldwell. As to his feelings he concealed them very well from me.\n\nOn acting somewhat as Superintendent of Police, any case of such cumbersomeness, much more this case, would have broken down unless he had done so.\n\nThe Attorney General's statement, [see page 32,] about warning Ma-chow Wong against threats of violence, is perfectly accurate. We both not only warned him, but addressed the public. I happen to recollect also, as Mr Anstey has stated, that, as the words Samkwei came out of the witness's mouth, Mr Anstey came in to the Court.\n\nI don't believe Ma-\n\n( 87 )", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-074 - Lieut.

And further, as regards these 72 men, the information given to me, and on which I acted, was that of three men who had nothing whatever to say to Ma-chow Wong as far as I am aware. They went with us in the Niger to identify the boats, one being the father of a man then a prisoner with these people. The information given was to the effect that nine men had been put to death the day before, and the other prisoners were to be executed that day,\n\nbut he did not come alone; he came with another man, who carried the money in a basket, and who took it away with him. Mrs Caldwell can be produced if required by the Commission to contradict Pang-wa-Ping, but his credibility appears to me already destroyed by the contradiction given to him by Achong, who could have no motive to conceal the truth, and whose evidence is not to be reconciled with that of Pang-wa-Ping.\n\nThe Tin charge upon investigation appears to have rested upon as little foundation as the gold dust and many others. Mr Mitchell was in the first instance very positive as to his statements, without having taken the trouble to refresh his memory by referring to the original documents.\n\nThat the Registrar General, or any other official in this colony, can of his own power arrest and discharge persons, or confiscate or restore their property, is a simple impossibility; and I will not presume to occupy the time of the Commission by pointing out the absurdity involved in charge No. 7. I am not aware that any evidence has been adduced in support of it, but I may as well state that on no single occasion has any arrest been made by me without either the accused being brought before the Magistrate in the usual course, or in cases under the Peace and Security Ordinance, without a specific report being at once made to His Excellency the Governor on the subject. I have no power to confiscate or restore any property, and have never done so except under orders from my superiors. With regard to the gold dust case, and securities given,\n\nThe course pursued with regard to Boggs' paper, will, I think, throw much light upon the manner in which charges have been attempted to be got up against me under this Commission. Relying upon the probability that Boggs would endorse any statement to my prejudice, Lyons, whom Mr May owns to having advised as to the mode of getting up evidence, imagines himself to have heard a letter read, connecting me with Ma-chow Wong and Boggs, and which letter ought to be in my handwriting; he then visits Boggs in the Gaol, and the charge is started; but where it starts it falls. Boggs does not supply the wanting links. Mr Grand-Pré has seen the letter and read it, and so did the Attorney General if he would but say so; for Boggs and Mr Grand-Pré prove it was read in his presence, and it had no more reference to me than to any one else. I am certain that Ma-chow Wong had nothing at all to say to the matter. The question as to whether the gold dust should be appropriated by the Government, as suggested by Mr May, or handed over to certain petitioners, having been decided by His Excellency the Governor, I simply obeyed the instructions I received. But with regard to the subsequent applicant, it may not be useless to observe, that he came to my office, that I sent for two of the securities—Apang and Foong-shan, and that upon inquiry it came out that he had lost dollars at the time of the piracy, but had never been possessed of any gold dust at all. Mr May constantly sees Foong-shan at the Supreme Court, where he is Shroff. Mr May knew that Foong-shan was one of the securities, as I gave Mr May the security papers myself, and therefore a very little investigation on Mr May's part would have spared the Commission much needless trouble on this point.\n\nIn his own office. Mr Mitchell has now amended his original statement, and the depositions and Jarman's evidence have trust satisfactorily established that there was no want of proper vigilance or activity on my part.\n\nIn reality it was a matter in which I took more than a usual amount of trouble, and the strict letter of the law was, I believe, stretched to recover the stolen property, and it is with considerable surprise that I find it revived after three years for the purposes of this prosecution.\n\nIf Pang-wa-ping's evidence stood unimpeached in any way, it would go to prove that I repeatedly refused to receive a present for official services performed by me, but that Mrs Caldwell in my absence did accept of a sum of $100 as a free-will offering. If this occurred, and with my consent either tacitly or otherwise, I think that I should be liable to censure as a Government servant; but I beg leave to deny most emphatically that this witness has given a true narrative of what occurred. I distinctly remember his coming to my house, and tendering the present to me;\n\nof the Hon'ble Commission. This would be bad enough, but Mr Market Inspector Roberts must needs come to the support of Deputy Inspector Lyons, and revive the dying slander to its original heat. Roberts had also been taken into council by Mr May. Both Roberts and Lyons have been, during the Commission, promoted by Mr May's means.\n\nSuch a charge as the one numbered 8 is easily brought and somewhat difficult of disproof, on account of its intangible nature, but did it not occur to my accuser, that there was nothing between July 1855, and November 1856, to prevent or intimidate any man, whether Chinese or not, from bringing charges against me. I was but the Captain of a coasting steamer; there I held no official position; I appeared no probability of my returning to office, and yet during those seventeen months, who complained or said a word against my character? although, strange to say, Mr Anstey, the accuser general, was here during at least half the time, But I do say most confidently, that it is false\n\n( 93 )\n\nthat any such feeling of terror exists. Were there any causes of complaint, would they not have been attracted long ere now by the bitter hostility of Mr Anstey, the self-vouched conscientious desires of Mr May for the public good, or the unscrupulous partizanship of the subordinate partners in this conspiracy against me? If ever man had to stand a severe ordeal, I have had to do so for the last seven weeks, and if I have been enabled to arrive at a satisfactory termination, it has been solely because I have ever been a faithful and conscientious public servant.\n\nWhether or not\n\nThe money said to be paid to Ch'o On and Shaplok, in the matter of the pawnbroker whose sentence was mitigated, is, I suppose, brought forward as a case of corruption against me. If so, it has signally failed. Shaplok and Ch'o On did, or did not, get $400 or $450 from these pawnbrokers, is a fact for which I cannot be in any way responsible, unless I was art or part in the matter, which I most earnestly deny. The Commission will remember, that no connection has been proved between my family and Shaplok, that the latter has been for some time out of the Colony, and therefore cannot be produced here. Wohang denies having heard my name, or that of my wife, at all in the matter. Tong Kwong-sin and Low Shing-keet both were present at the payment, but up to its taking place, know nothing of their own knowledge of the circumstances which led to it; and the latter states himself to have been even ignorant of what was to be done for it. They neither of them heard Shaplok or Ch'o On mention my being in any way concerned, with one exception, and that is with reference to a statement made by Ch'o On. Ch'o On denies everything connected with the matter. Even if my name had been distinctly made use of, and money fraudulently obtained on the strength of it, is not that a circumstance to which any public officer may be exposed, not only in this Colony, but elsewhere? The crime is not an unfrequent one, and it has occurred to me twice to prosecute to conviction, before the Supreme Court, men charged by me with this very same offence.\n\nI should but needlessly occupy the time of the Hon'ble Commission with refuting charge No. 10. The prosecution must have learnt long ere this that the premises upon which it was founded were erroneous, and my best defence is the record of what actually occurred.\n\nAs to harbouring Ma-chow Wong's wife after his conviction, my answer simply is, that no wife of his ever ate a meal, or slept on any occasion, in my house.\n\nI now come to Charges 1, 18, 19.\n\nNo. 1.\n\nthinks it prudent to withdraw the locality to Singapore, and put back the time some 24 years, and to make even the people comprising such secret society doubtful, being either Chinese, Klings, or Malays. By Klings, with ludicrous ignorance, he means half-caste Chinese, or Chinese born in the Straits. The Commission will hardly need to be informed by me, that Klings are simply Madrassees. Did ever any one, but Mr May, hear of Malays forming secret societies? certainly no one connected with Singapore, and I am convinced no one anywhere else, it being entirely contrary to their spirit and customs. When it is remembered, that I was not 17 when I left Singapore, that I could not speak a word of the Chinese language then nor for many months after, the nuance of Mr Anstey, and the mixture of malice and ignorance in Mr May, are nowhere more thoroughly developed, than in their attempt, first to bring this charge, and secondly their mode of substantiating it. I do belong to a secret society, and so does the Chairman of this Commission, and I hold the proud position of Master for the year of it—the Zetland Lodge of Freemasons.\n\nCharge No. 19: In 1854, Mr Perkins' friends being of opinion that it was owing to me that his murderer was detected and executed, wished to present me with a testimonial. The local government refused permission without a previous reference home. I naturally thought this a hardship, and while chatting in a friendly way with Mr May in my own house, my wife and some others being present, I said, \"It is a great shame; the next time I shall ask them to give it to my wife.\" This was all that took place; and these trifling words, treasured up for four years by the conscientious Mr May, are reproduced as indicating a willingness on my part to consent to my own wife taking bribes.\n\nWith regard to the matter of the Eaglet, I shall say nothing more than that the statements of her officers given before the Commission are substantially correct, with the exception that I went in my boat out of curiosity, and the amount paid for taking the Mandarins to the village was $2,000.\n\nI have to thank the Commission for having, by limiting my power of cross-examination, prevented me from entering upon one line of defence, which would have almost degraded me to the same level as that on which Messrs Anstey and May now lie. Goaded beyond endurance by the attacks on my wife, and the unscrupulous betrayal of the confidence of friendly intercourse, I was tempted to\n\nLet them not The result of this inquiry can be the sole reply to charge retaliate and drag the details of their private morals before you, but I have been spared this error. however suppose that deeds such as theirs can pass without notice, and although I will not even in my own defence imitate their example, my proofs are ready, and can be produced whenever required.\n\nCharges No. 18: With having informed Mr May that I was a member of a Secret Society. I deny this charge altogether. The manner in which it was brought by the Attorney General can leave no doubt in the mind of any member of this Commission, that by Secret Society he intended the illegal Triad Societies to be understood, or else what was the use of saying anything about it. Mr May\n\nAnd now I have done; I shall call no witnesses unless the Commission require them, because it appears to me that nothing remains which requires explanation or dis-", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-074 - Lieut.

All I can say. She never came as a friend to the house.\n\nI am quite ignorant of the circumstances relative to the capture for attempt at breach of the blockade of the Canton River, of the boat to which the pass was granted mentioned by the Attorney General, in page 73. I have given many of such passes that it is impossible for me to tell about this particular one.\n\nI did not consider it necessary to cross-examine Mr May upon his statement regarding my telling him about my wife receiving presents, because I considered the inference drawn from the words spoken by me was so absurd that I did not think it necessary.\n\nI did not know Po-pak-shing as a notorious pirate at the time I went on board his boat. I most solemnly declare I never heard of his name up till that time.\n\nI only know that the Sinon Wo ground lot is in the Lower Bazaar, because it is marine lot 33. I suppose that Sinon Wo is the lessee's name. I know Ma-chow Wong is the owner. I know he used to have the management. When this Sunon man (referred to in page 59) came and asked me about the increased rental of the lot, I knew that Ma-chow Wong had been connected with the Sinon Wo. I am sure that the land, so far as I have heard, did not belong to Ma-chow Wong. From what I have heard, Ma-chow Wong was only head of some committee of management; there were others connected with it.\n\nMr May's statement of the misunderstandings between us is correct. We have had no others. I do not consider Ma-chow Wong's conviction chiefly owing to the exertions of Mr May, but to the public mind and that of the jury being prejudiced against him by the local papers. Mr May did not, to my knowledge, apply for my reinstatement in Government employ.\n\nI did consider, and I am now more fully confident, that Mr May had a vindictive feeling towards me at the time of the conducting of the case of Ma-chow Wong, but I have particular reasons for not wishing to give my grounds for such belief on this occasion. As I have already stated in my evidence of to-day, these reasons may form the subject of future complaints by me; but of this fact I am certain, that nothing would give Mr May more pleasure than to see the situation of Registrar General become vacant for him by my dismissal.\n\nAdjourned till Friday, the 16th, at 12 o'clock.\n\nTWENTY FOURTH Day,\n\nFriday, 16th July, at 12 o'clock Noon.\n\nPresent,-All the Members.\n\nHon. H. T. DAVIES,-Recalled at his own request to explain a part of his previous evidence.\n\nMr Caldwell is no doubt correct in stating that he did the sureties for Ma-chow Wong; but when I procured said that I should require them, and that I would take their recognizances as soon as their validity had been ascertained, Mr Caldwell said \"they are here now,” and pointed out some men. I asked him whether he guaranteed their validity, and upon his saying that he did, I took them at once.\n\nD. R. CALDWELL,-Cross-examination continued.\n\nI deny that any intercourse whatever has been kept up between any member of my family and Shaplok. She has been many times to my house to see me on business of different kinds, and as a matter of course she has also seen Mrs Caldwell and spoken to her. I wish to state, that, when I married Mrs Caldwell when she was converted, I threw off all Chinese connections. Shaplok came to me only on business matters officially.\n\nI do most decidedly deny the existence of any family connection in any sense whatever, whether by blood, usage, or adoption, between myself and Ma-chow Wong. Ma-chow Wong is an inferior man, not an equal, and I consider this attempt to connect me with Ma-chow Wong nothing better than a villainous attempt to injure my reputation.\n\nAfter the time of his apprehension and trial, I believed Ma-chow Wong to be an honest man, and I believe now that he always was an honest man up to his apprehension.\n\nPang Wa-ping paid to the paymaster of the Rattler about $200 salvage for rescuing his boat, for which the Paymaster gave a receipt, I witnessing it.\n\nI saw a Chinese document belonging to Beaver after his apprehension at the Police Station. It was a kind of certificate from Chai Awei the pirate Chief, but who styled himself a Rebel, made showing that Beaver had been in his employ, and mention was there made of a man Wong Kee with another as having come from Kongnam (Keangnan), I believe, to carry out the Rebel movements.\n\n(97)\n\nI do not know the man who accompanied Pang Wo-ping. I could make inquiry concerning him, but I am quite certain that they were both there, and that I saw the basket with the lid to it.\n\nWith regard to the search of Assow's house, the anonymous letter was my only information that a musical box was stolen. I also knew that a man was in custody for stealing a barometer, which was referred to in the letter.\n\nI searched the house opposite Pat-mui's.

Why so certain?\n\n(153)\n\nMr Mongan. One circumstance occurs to me which confirms my memory. They were taken to be burnt from the place where they had been lying;—and another circumstance strikes me in connection with the Caldwell Commission—I thought the books would be asked for, and they were not in existence—They could not have been on the 27th of May when the Commission first sat.\n\nAttorney General. You thought the Ma-chow Wong papers would be wanted on the Caldwell Commission! What made you think that before you were asked for them?\n\nMr Mongan.—I think such a thought crossed my mind.\n\nAttorney General.—You think such a thought crossed your mind! Now, with all these instances of inaccurate memory, can you be confident—are you confident that the destruction took place earlier than May?\n\nMr Mongan. I am sure it was before the 14th of April.\n\nAttorney General.—In your depositions at the Police Court you said that during your absence at Canton the Ma-chow Wong books and papers were bona fide in the custody of the office servants;—and on another occasion you said you felt sure you had not got all the papers—what made you think that?\n\n(152)\n\n[Sensation throughout the Court—the gist of the alleged libel being justified by the Crown's own witness.]\n\nAttorney General.—They were delivered to you by Mr Morrison?\n\nMr Mongan.—Yes.\n\nAttorney General.—Mr Cleverly says he had written to Mr Caine the Secretary of the Superintendency, to inquire about the memoranda.\n\nAttorney General.—(After a short pause, to give the Jurors time to digest the deposition)—\"Again, you have been mistaken about Mr May's memoranda—With some of those items Mr Caldwell's report agrees, but not with a single item of Mr Caldwell's report would your teacher agree—To the Registrar\"—Ho-chun-seen—Ying-lin-tong Mr Mongan.—I never had Mr May's memoranda.—I—Sun-chok-heem—and Lo Ahee, witnesses examined at the Police Court on the part of the Crown—is it the intention of Government to call these witnesses?\n\nMr Mongan.—No.\n\nActing Attorney General.—If you wish it I will call them.\n\nMr Mongan.—I have only a slight recollection of having seen them in Mr D'Aguilar's office, and think he told me he was going to send them to Mr Wade.\n\nAttorney General.—You only think so.\n\nMr Mongan. I have only a slight recollection.\n\nAttorney General.—About what time was this?\n\nMr Mongan.—As well as I can recollect it was after the meeting of Council, about the same time that I forwarded the books and papers to Mr Wade.\n\nAttorney General.—Now what office did you hold then?\n\nMr Mongan.—I was at that time a Student Interpreter in charge of the Chinese Secretary's office. There are two rooms in that office; an outer and an inner. I have never been separated from that office.\n\nAttorney General—Well, you (Mr Mongan) know what evidence they gave, and that the principal contradicted Mr Caldwell in almost every—I may say every particular.\n\nMr Mongan. I haven't read Mr Caldwell's evidence.\n\nAttorney General. Referring particularly to Mr Caldwell's report on the books (page 104 supra) of every item they say they cannot tell how or where he got them from I will read, and after hearing their evidence you will be so good as to make correction of any discrepancy (reads).\n\nAttorney General.—And now I'll go on reading your evidence before the Caldwell Commission (reads)—You, Mr Mongan's teacher, Cross-examined by Mr Tarrant, (the Magistrate writes) depones \"I cannot conceive how he, Mr Caldwell, made up the 13 items comprising this report.\n\nExamined upon each separate item,—\n\n1. A bill of certain arms, such as spear heads, swords & amounting to about $50. Answer. I do not recollect.\n\n2. An entry in a book of the payment of $22 for shot. Answer.—I do not recollect.\n\n3. An entry in another book of the sale of Gunpowder to Te Shai amounting to $22. Answer—I do not recollect. Another entry in the same book of the purchase of Gunpowder. Answer—I do not recollect.\n\n4. An entry in another book of the advance by the Kwang Yeh-long Hong to the Sun'Sum'shing Boat, of Taels 108. Answer.—I do not recollect.\n\n5. A bill for shot sold the Poo-sen boat $12. Answer—I do not recollect.\n\n6. A bill from Foo-shai for the sale of one Gun to Kee Kong $130. Answer.—I do not recollect.\n\n7. An order on the Quang Yek-long Hong to pay $22 for Gunpowder. Answer.—I do not recollect.\n\n8. Two draft receipts from Wong-Akee, acknowledging to have received from Mr Caldwell the sum of $1,500, on account of Foong-hoh-shing. Answer.—I do not recollect.\n\n9. A letter addressed to Wong Akee by Lok Hing, begging him to use his endeavours to obtain the release of a Nephew...\n\nThe examination was of a cursory nature—It was not a searching examination—On the 13th of October you sent the papers to Mr Wade—On the 12th you went to the Council. There you heard Mr May's memoranda read—and there you concurred in the correctness of Mr Caldwell's translation.\n\nMr Mongan.—Mr May's memoranda were never referred to me for collation.\n\nAttorney General.—Are any of the Chinese documents which those memoranda referred to in existence.\n\nMr Mongan. Not one of them—not a paper.\n\nAttorney General—You say in your depositions at the Police Court that you saw nothing suspicious among the documents inspected—Do you confirm that?\n\nMr Mongan. I saw nothing that I recollect.\n\nAttorney General.—You say further in these depositions That Caldwell called your attention to insignificant items—did he call your attention to significant ones?\n\nMr Mongan.—No.\n\nAttorney General.—Now I will read to you Mr Caldwell's report to the Council.—\n\n\"I beg to state that the examination was conducted in the presence of Mr Mongan, assisted by his Chinese clerks, and that whatever expense was incurred would be refunded to Akee by the writer.\"\n\nNow how are we to reconcile this with what you have just now, and before deponed, that it was he, Caldwell, who handed the suspicious documents to you, not you to him?—If you left the searching for suspicious items to him how can you swear you know anything about them in the gross?\n\nMr Mongan.—I did not leave it to Mr Caldwell—Its all right with exception of your comment on it.\n\nAttorney General.—Did Mr Caldwell ask you whether the report agreed with his own notes, or with the contents of the Chinese documents?\n\nMr Mongan.—With his notes. I could concur with their general accuracy, having looked over the documents before I handed them to Mr Caldwell, and could judge of their relevancy or irrelevancy to the matter.\n\nAttorney General—One bundle never came under your eye at all, and you made only a cursory examination of the others?\n\nMr Mongan.—I confirm all that has been stated before the Magistrate; I did not leave it to Mr Caldwell to determine their relevancy; I read them over myself first.\n\nAttorney General—Was it possible for you, after such an examination, to make a faithful report as to their contents?\n\nMr Mongan.—No answer.\n\nAttorney General.—Supposing you had been called on to confirm Mr Caldwell's report, not as to his notes but as to the documents themselves—Would you have given the same answer, as to the correctness?\n\nMr Mongan.—I would.\n\nAttorney General. Very well, then we shall know what reliance is to be placed on certificates medical or otherwise—Now I'll read your other evidence (reads). All this happened in March—and the papers were destroyed in March.\n\nMr Mongan.—I have not sworn it positively.\n\nAttorney General.—Were the documents destroyed in May?\n\nMr Mongan.—I have sworn to the best of my recollection—I am certain it was not in May.\n\nAttorney General.—Dr Bridges says the burning was about six weeks before the Governor spoke to him about it, and the Governor could not have spoken to him 'till after the middle of June.\n\nMr Mongan.—I don't think I told Dr Bridges before the end of June.\n\nAttorney General. Is it not just possible that you made a mistake, and that it was only a few weeks before the fact became known that they were burnt.\n\nMr Mongan.—I am perfectly certain it was not weeks.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-074 - Lieut.

In the first part of the 3d moon as the boats were at a place called Falin sha, they observed a boat with a heavy cargo. When they came to examine the boat's cargo, it turned out to be salt. The boat had no license to carry salt, and it was evidently a smuggler, so our boats took the smuggler to the station The captain of the smuggler was willing to pay a just fine, and begged us to release the boat As it was first offence we were willing to release the boat with her cargo, after the captain had signed a promise not to smuggle again. We never expected that these smugglers would return evil for good; but on the 15th day of the 2d moon they petitioned Mr Caldwell, who took three steamers with him to Namtow and anchored in front of Oong-oak village. On the 16th day about 9 o'clock A. M. shot were fired into the village, and destroyed four houses; men, women, and children were seen flying in every direction. After that, Mr Caldwell with some men came on shore and demanded $4000. The elders of the village, had only two ways to choose; they had either to pay the money or to have their village destroyed. In order to save their village they agreed to pay the sum demanded-$1,000 immediately, and the $3,000 to be paid in a week. At 12 o'clock that day the steamers disappeared. The $3,000 was paid to Mr Caldwell on the 26th day of the 2d moon.\n\nWe think your Honorable Nation must have laws as well as ours If our boats took a smuggler and discharging her should suffer such calamity, smugglers will become more and more formidable, and consequently national interests will be injured,\n\nLet this affair from beginning to end be known to all,\n\nCHUN YOOK TEEN.\n\n禮千砲詢辦於月亦原往盤查祈鑒察將見奸民猖獗國餉何歸茲將始末綠由詳裂二十六日帶銀三千元親送到高老爺處交收清楚忖思歸不得已隨籌就銀一千元到船交納另三千元約以一個逃走硃覺慘然後高老爺帶貴兵數名上岸迫索要銀四船三隻前抵新安城南頭吳屋面前抛泊十六章九點鐘放時人船貨物一槪釋放去後不料該私等恩將仇報胆敢走私隨時獲回本埠理處奈該私頭人等求減公罰乞免解捕私鹽以杜奸民漏稅緣本年二月初旬巡至礬石海面見啟者新安縣影城华商陳玉田等向類捧,有廣貤蓮司牌\n\n律法昭彰貴國豈無施設若獲私釋放反遭誣捏之累禮拜內交收然後火船於十二點鐘駛回香港曾經二月脆生陳玉田字禀\n\n千元方爲安息無事民等村老細思如不從原則無家可砲攻擊上圍被打爛房屋四間闔村居民男婦老少驚惶j詞赴治下暪禀於二月十五日高露蕓老爺統帶火\n\n辦民等念渠初犯亦爲原情允肯私等自具回甘結登\n\n有重載船一隻登往盤查見滿倉係鹽況亦無牌照顯係\n\n照承辦彭城大棉管設巡船三隻在於新安海面一帶緝\n\nPage 64\n\nPage 64\n\nXouthe whole I han\n\nMy Ministre\n\na 5710.\n\nnothing it\n\nqualif\n\nHay tay\n\n63", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-076 - Individuals - 1859.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 248480, "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": "CO129-076 - Individuals - 1859", "page_number": 83, "title": "CO129-076 - Individuals - 1859", "content_text": "81\n\nX\n\nCownict\n\n10000\n\nLetter from the Superintendent of potr\n\nput into\n\nbaculs, ou my\n\nou a\n\nthe Council); entreating\n\nmy way me to cause tomi\n\nпер\n\nBooks of the Treasury by the new Colonial Treasurer, the Howe.

I have summoned a builder of this place, under paragraph 2 of the New Building Act for a contravention of that act. The Act is dated the 16th of April last. I have observed the progress of the work now presented as a nuisance, from time to time previous to the 16th of April, but I never gave any notice verbal or written, to the Contractor in the case. I do not know that I have ever seen him. I never could get the Chinese to understand me in those cases. I believe it was because they did not choose to understand me. I never served any written notices. I have no time for such writing. I have never caused any placards to be posted up warning the people concerned against infringing the Ordinance upon which I now prosecute them. I have never received any placards for the purpose, I mean prior to the promulgation of the Building Ordinance. I have received a parcel of placards in Chinese since the 29th of May, and since my former cases under this Ordinance were presented at this office, but neither in the former cases nor in the present one, have I served any written notices upon any of the offenders. I never could find them. I recollect verbally warning one man, or two men \"Sum yow\" or \"Tum Tai,\" and three or four more of compound names, but all verbally. My complaint against the works of the defendant in the present case, is this, that whereas the Building Act requires that the basement walls of all tenements having more than one upper story, should be of eighteen inches in thickness; the walls in question are only of 13 inches. I further present that the flooring joists of one house cross into those of another, instead of being kept the length of a brick apart.\n\nCross-examined by Mr. Green, for defendant.—I am not quite sure that I have examined the external walls of the houses now presented. My impression is that the external and party walls are of the same dimensions. I have satisfied myself that the flooring joists of the houses do actually cross each other.\n\nI never did say, that I should not take proceedings under this Ordinance against any Chinese offender, until after it should have been promulgated in Chinese. What I stated was that I should be unwilling to take such proceedings. When I made that statement I knew that it lay in my own discretion to take such proceedings or otherwise, that is to say to a certain extent within my discretion—the Governor has the power to limit my discretion. I was aware when I made this statement what the contents of the Ordinance were. Acting under my own discretion entirely. The reason I am willing to do today, what I was not willing to do some time ago, is because of the delay on Mr. Wade's part in translating the new Ordinance. That is one reason, another is that although I told all the Government Contractors and Chinese Overseers of Works to make known the terms of the new Ordinance, and have reason to believe they have done so, still no notice has been taken by the parties infringing it; thirdly, because under section 11, the longer the offender went on, the heavier would be the penalty upon him. I formed that opinion from reading the paragraph in question, viz: paragraph 11.\n\nW. COWPER, A. S.

MITCHELL, Esq.\n\nHongkong, 17th September, 1856.\n\nDEAR SIR,—In compliance with your request, I herewith furnish you the particulars of my interview with Sir John Bowring, regarding the case of Cowper v. Ly Ating, under the decision or judgment wherein your houses have lately been pulled down.\n\nOn the 20th August last, being the day of the hearing of the case of Cowper v. Ly Ating, and before such hearing, I as your Attorney, waited on Sir John Bowring, and after pointing out the fact of your absence at the North, trusting to the decision previously given regarding the houses in question—of such houses being so situated that no injury could arise by same remaining in the state they were in for a short time longer—there being none but buildings of a substantial nature on the same side of the way of your being the only party interested, although the case was brought against Ly Ating (your Contractor), and the loss likely to accrue to you—and of your having no wish to evade the law in any way, requested His Excellency's consideration in the matter, and asked him to direct, either that the case might be put off until your return or that same should be stayed for a short time to enable me to address the Council. His Excellency in reply, informed me that he could not interfere with the ordinary administration of justice, or with his officials in the matter, that the laws must be enforced, and that he could not act without the co-operation of the Council, but that any application made in the usual manner would be attended to, at the same time asking me what I thought would be the answer to a similar application made in England. I then attended with your counsel at the Magistracy, and after examination of a witness on behalf of Captain Cowper, and some discussion, the case (to give you a chance of making any defence in your power) was ordered to stand over until the day after the departure of the then next English mail, shortly before which your return was expected. Captain Cowper being present, on being asked whether the day would suit him, replied \"As well as any other\" or words to that effect. Of the subsequent proceedings you are aware.\n\nI am, dear Sir, yours faithfully,\n\n(Signed)\n\nH. J. TARRANT.\n\n(Copy)\n\nHongkong, 10th October, 1856.\n\nSIR,—I beg leave with profound respect to introduce my name to you as a Partner in the Mercantile Firms of Gilman & Co., of the Ports of Canton, Foo Chow Foo, and Shanghae—and more immediately as an individual whose interests are largely embarked in House Property in this Colony.\n\nWhen I state that my Partners and self draw an income from this Colony, at this moment, exceeding Three Thousand Five hundred pounds sterling a year derived from HOUSE PROPERTY, it is for the purpose of showing you a very considerable interest at stake and of serving to justify the intense anxiety which I feel upon the subject on which I have the honor to address you.\n\nThat anxiety will be at once justified when I further state that this large interest is at this moment seriously jeopardized—nay more—vitally imperilled by a certain recent legislation, emanating from the Legislative Council of this Colony.\n\nIt is my painful duty, Sir, to have to lay before you a case, such as I venture to say, even the chequered records of that vast department over which you preside can furnish no parallel at least, for the credit of our Colonial system in the eyes of the world at large, I will venture to hope that this case stands without a precedent.\n\n3. When I inform you that I left this Port on the 30th of July last, for the North of China, leaving in this Colony, as I then supposed, under the protection of the Imperial Laws, three newly erected Chinese Tenements, just completed and contracted for at a rental equivalent to about £18 sterling per month, and that on my return on the 11th of September following, this property had disappeared, not under any convulsion of nature, but under the destructive fiat of His Excellency Sir John Bowring, I shall have said enough, at least, to arrest your most grave attention.\n\nWhen I further inform you, that upon enquiring after my missing property, I was informed that it had been condemned as confiscated to the Crown, and learnt that its materials were being at that moment used in the construction of a new Government Building, I shall not merely have arrested your attention, but piqued your curiosity, still more so when I add, that I stand, thank God, not only under no attaint of treason or other crime against the State, but that I never in my life, stood charged even with a simple misdemeanor.\n\n4. These are difficult premises, Sir, indeed, so far, they must be wholly unintelligible to you—utterly over-laying as they do the established order of things as between the state and the subject, they are true however to the letter, and the following is the key to the Enigma.\n\n5. On the 16th of April last, the Legislative Council of this Colony passed an Act, numbered as Ordinance 5 of 1856, and entitled \"An Ordinance for Buildings and Nuisances.\"\n\nThat Act, on the day it was promulgated, overtook in various stages of progress, a great number of Chinese Tenements in course of construction throughout this Colony. Many of these buildings had been commenced six months before this new Law made its appearance—several were roofed in and all had attained an advanced stage of progress.\n\nThis Law took effect from the very day of its promulgation. It contained a certain specification of structure which was ordered to be applied to all \"works\" then in progress of construction!—If the \"work\" commenced, say in January last, happened to conform to the specification required by the Law of April, it was saved to its owner. If it happened to deviate, in any way, it must be adjudged a \"Nuisance\"—condemned accordingly—and its materials confiscated to the Crown, that is to say, in the words of the Ordinance itself as quoted, taken from the owner and \"vested absolutely in the Surveyor General” !!\n\n6. As the mere phrasing of an arbitrary Act, these words would in themselves be sufficiently offensive to the prejudices of a British-born subject who holds his property as his indefeasible right and its guardianship as the supreme trust and duty of the state. But these were more than mere barren words—it remained for His Excellency Governor Bowring to establish at once their import and their exact value.\n\n7. I commenced the works which His Excellency recently caused to be destroyed in the month of March last. There was at that time no Building Act, or specification of any kind to guide me, else I should have adhered to it to the letter.\n\nMy works proceeded up to the 23rd of May, when they were challenged by the Surveyor General as being fundamentally in contravention of the new Law of April. The case was heard, on the date given, before a full Bench of Justices. I pleaded, by Counsel, that the Law was an ex post facto Law and could not be complied with save by demolishing to its foundation all the work done up to that date. (You will perceive Sir, at this point, that if Sir John Bowring was determined to carry out such a Law as this, every day he allowed the work to go on, every brick he allowed to be laid without challenge after the promulgation of his Law (16th of April last) was in itself a further and a fresh oppression of the subject.) The Bench held the plea to be a good one—and decided that no work commenced before the promulgation of the Law could fairly be brought within its penal operation—and the complaint of the Surveyor General was dismissed accordingly.\n\nI beg leave to request that Governor Bowring will lay before you all the correspondence which has passed between His Excellency and the Bench of Justices, official and non-official, upon this subject, including His Excellency's Memorandum to the Justices as an essential part of this case.\n\n8. Upon this decision of the Bench my works proceeded up to the 3rd of June, when they were again challenged by orders of His Excellency on precisely the same grounds—on exactly the same issue as that adjudicated on the 23rd of May with the addition of what is called a \"continuation\" of the offence charged.\n\nI am advised that there is some clause in the Ordinance which makes every \"twelve hours continuation of any offence charged under it, as in itself a fresh and substantive offence! The Magistrates however decided that there could be no \"continuation\" of an offence where there was no original offence proved and where the offence presented was discharged under their decision of the 23rd of May, and accordingly again dismissed the Surveyor General's action. Under protection of this two-fold decision my works then proceeded, and continued up to the 30th of July. On that date I left for the North of China, and the further history of this oppression is to be understood as having occurred in my absence. I need hardly add, that I quitted this Colony, leaving my property under the protection both of the Imperial and the Local Laws.\n\n9. It appears, however, that under some clause in this Ordinance, the mere making of a \"charge\" before the Magistrate by the Surveyor General is as good as a \"conviction\" towards establishing the 12 hours\" fresh offence ! Under this clause a fresh summons was applied for against my property and refused by the Magistrates. His Excellency the Governor, thereupon, caused a Mandamus to be sued out by the Attorney General before the Supreme Court under \"the 12 hours\" clause. Incredible as it may seem the mere \"charge\" was found to be an efficient towards re-opening the question as a \"conviction\" could have been, and a Mandamus was ordered to be issued accordingly.\n\n10. It appears that in granting the Mandamus His Honor the Chief Justice took occasion to observe\n\n279", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-076 - Individuals - 1859.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 248681, "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": "CO129-076 - Individuals - 1859", "page_number": 284, "title": "CO129-076 - Individuals - 1859", "content_text": "(6)\n\nCollaterally, that, happening to have heard of the grounds of the decision arrived at by the Magistrates, in their sittings of 23rd May, and 3rd of June, he held those grounds to be a wrong construction of Ordinance No. 8 of 1856. This mere hint, it appears, was sufficient to induce the Magistrates, on proceeding to re-hear under the Mandamus, to reverse their former decision. They reversed it accordingly, and the reversal was to this effect, that certain houses in this Colony, which I had commenced to build in March, were overtaken by a new Law in the middle of April, and because they did not come up to the specification of that new Law, they were condemned and confiscated. They ceased to be my property, and became \"vested in the absolute discretion of Her Majesty's Surveyor General.\"\n\n11. The case, at this stage, presents two remarkable incidents.\n\nI have already explained that I had proceeded from this Port to the North of China on the 30th July. On the 18th August following, this property, which I had left under the protection of two judicial decisions, was again attacked, as stated, under a Mandamus sued upon His Excellency's orders. That Mandamus rested upon the \"12 hours continuation\" clause of the Ordinance—in other words, it proceeded upon \"a fresh offence.\"\n\nThis \"fresh offence\" accordingly was charged against my property, while I (the owner) was a thousand miles distant. My Builder being sued as the best substitute to be found for myself—though the man had completed his contract and been paid for it, and had no remaining interest of any kind whatsoever in the property which he was called upon to represent and defend!\n\n12. He appeared before the Magistrates accordingly on the 18th August, and pleaded \"no interest,\" but, as the Ordinance impleads the Contractor as well as the Owner, he was held to be a party responsible, and, by means of this suppositious representative, my property was attacked—condemned and carried away bodily by a gang of convicts under the superintendence of the Acting Surveyor General, while I, the sole and actual Owner, was not only not present to defend it, but without notice of action, summons, or other legal process of any kind whatsoever, being ever served upon me! Such is the first of these two incidents—the second is entirely in character.\n\n13. My Solicitor, happening casually to hear of this assault upon my property, in my absence, waited upon His Excellency Sir John Bowring to plead that absence towards a suspension of proceedings. The result of this last endeavour on my behalf will sufficiently appear in his letter of 17th September, copy of which I have the honor to lay before you.\n\n14. The following will form no inappropriate pendant to the two incidents foregoing. It appears that upon my property being condemned on the re-hearing of the 18th of August, my Counsel, Mr. Kingsmill, Barrister at Law, applied to the Magistrates for an adjournment to the 11th September ensuing, to allow time for my return to the Colony to appear and defend in person. This most reasonable request the Magistrates granted, subject to the consent of the prosecutor, the Acting Surveyor General.\n\nThat consent was not withheld—judgment was stayed, and a three weeks' grace was granted to me. But it appears that the Magistrate, in granting it, exceeded his authority—such a reprieve did not satisfy the exigencies of the Mandamus, whereupon (it would be incredible if it were not true) His Excellency, I am informed, ordered the Mandamus to be traversed and an action at law to be commenced in the Supreme Court, against his own stipendiary Magistrate, at the suit of the Crown.\n\n15. I forbear all commentary, Sir, upon such a state of things as this!\n\nIt now only remains for me to lay before you copies of my correspondence with the local Government upon this extraordinary occasion.\n\nBy the next departure, I shall again claim the privilege of addressing you; and it is not unlikely to convey to you the sense of this community at large, respecting the character and operation of Ordinance No. 8 of 1856, and other recent acts of this Legislature. Meantime, Sir, I do myself the honor to subscribe myself, with profound respect and confidence, your most obedient Servant,\n\n(Signed)\n\nA. R. HUDSON.\n\nTo the Right Hon. HENRY LABOUCHERE, M.P.,\n\nHer Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Colonies.\n\n(Copy.)\n\nHongkong, November 12th, 1856.\n\nSIR, I had the honor of addressing you on the 10th of last month, touching the seizure of certain property of mine in this Colony, under the operation of a retrospective law, recently passed by the local Legislature—entitled Ordinance No. 8 of 1856.\n\n2. Since then, His Excellency the Governor of this Colony, in a public letter dated the 4th of this month, has announced that Her Majesty's Government, recognizing the experimental and undoubtedly stringent character of that Ordinance, has suspended its ratification.\n\n3. I submit, Sir, that this fact in itself places Governor Bowring in the position of having deliberately, and against the remonstrances of my Agent, and in the face of two previous Judicial decisions in my favor, and by a forced and oppressive action on the part of the Executive Government, procured the destruction of my property, and its seizure to the uses of the State, and that under the operation of an Ordinance which he himself now proclaims to have been a mere tentative Act of Legislation, so undoubtedly \"stringent\" that in transmitting it for ratification, he deemed it necessary to caution the Imperial Government as to its character and tendencies!\n\n4. His Excellency further, in the sixth paragraph of the same letter, makes the bold admission that this Ordinance is undoubtedly retrospective, and that Buildings commenced before its enactment are \"liable to its penalties.\" This admission, at least, does credit to His Excellency's candor, however severely it may reflect upon his judgment—for you have no choice, Sir, but to accept it as a frank avowal that the Governor of this Colony has systematically violated one of the very first bases of our Legislative policy, whether at home or abroad—namely—that \"our Laws shall not be retrospective,\" that an ex-post facto Law is not a mere abstract injustice, but an active tyranny of the grossest and most provoking character.\n\n5. His Excellency, however, having made the admission that he procured the destruction of my houses under the penalties not merely of an ex-post facto Law, but of a merely \"experimental Act of Legislation,\" is doubtlessly prepared to justify to Her Majesty's Government, or to the British Parliament, the seizure and appropriation of the materials of my property to the uses of the State in the construction of a Government Building.\n\n6. I wait the further development of this question here, before troubling you with any more observations upon it, beyond taking leave with the utmost respect to direct your special attention to the following points in the history of this measure, recently elicited by the public discussion which it has provoked in the Colony.\n\n7. It now appears that this ex-post facto Law, emanating from a closed Council Chamber, was actually in force, and its penalties operative for three days before it was even promulgated. It passed the Legislative Council on the 16th of April, but was not Gazetted as Law until the 19th. It first appeared in draft in the Government Gazette of 29th March, disappeared from the two intervening Gazettes of 5th and 12th of April, and for anything this community could possibly know to the contrary, was withdrawn altogether, when it suddenly made its appearance as Law—retrospective Law, on the 19th of April, and yet, such being the extent of publicity given to it, His Excellency is surprised that it challenged no public animadversion during what he is pleased to call its \"discussion.\"\n\n(7)\n\n8. The Metropolitan Building Act 1855, upon which this experimental Ordinance professed to have been modelled, and an Act of the Indian Legislature No. 14 of 1856, framed only two months later, and expressly adjusted to the circumstances of an Asiatic population, are dated respectively four months and seventeen days after their promulgation, and even after that interval, both those Acts will be found expressly to exclude all buildings that had advanced above the level of their foundation courses from coming at all within their operation, much less being held liable to their penalties.\n\nIs it necessary, Sir, to contrast these wise precedents with the conduct of our local executive in seeking out Buildings in progress under one Law for ex-post facto penalty under another, after making them (in the absence of the owner to defend) the subject of an unrelenting prosecution under an unconfirmed, and \"experimental Act of Legislation\"?\n\n9. I beg to lay before you the further correspondence appended. Nine letters marked A to I inclusive, which have passed between the local Government and myself, since I last had the honor of addressing you, and waiting the further development of this case here, before presenting my formal claims for compensation for the outrage I have suffered. I beg to subscribe myself, Sir, with profound respect, your most obedient Servant,\n\nTo The Right Hon.

As I can hardly expect at His Excellency's hands copies of the letters referred to by Captain Cowper, I have only to hope that His Excellency will hold himself called upon to lay the \"three or four Official letters\" in question, together with copies of his replies thereto, before the Secretary of State, as an essential part of the case already submitted by me to the judgment of Her Majesty's Government, and to be further submitted, under special reference to these letters, by the next departure.\n\nI have, moreover, the honor to request that if the two \"notes\" referred to in Mr. Murrow's letter are not identical with two of the three or four Official letters stated by Captain Cowper, and form a portion of any further correspondence that may have passed between His Excellency and the Surveyor General upon this subject, that such further correspondence in its complete form may be transmitted to the Secretary of State by next mail, together with this letter.—I have the honor to be, Sir, your most obedient servant,\n\n(Signed)\n\nA.

Murrow's letter to me, dated 10th October, 1856.\n\n\"The sum and substance of what Captain Cowper said to me was this: That he was as well aware as any one in the Colony of the hardship and impropriety of pulling down your houses—that there were three cases that 'he considered should not come under the Ordinance. Yours being one—that regarding these three cases, he wrote a note to the Governor, soliciting their exemption—that the reply was unfavorable—that he wrote a second note to the Governor—that the reply was peremptory, and he (Capt. C.) at once commenced with the rich man's first. 'That he had the notes to show, and that people would see who was to blame when matters come to a crisis.'

These official letters, however, the existence of which is confirmed, His Excellency will no doubt deem it but proper to transmit amongst his next despatch to Her Majesty's Government.\n\nI note that Captain Cowper has officially reported the details of Ly Ating's case, and observe the concluding words of his report. Though I might admit both the Surveyor General's fact, and his conclusion, without my admission in the slightest degree affecting the gravamen of my complaint, yet I admit neither.\n\nExcellency, with all respect, that the defiance of repeated warnings lies exactly the other way. In \"defiance,\" of I dispute both and have to remind His two Judicial decisions-Solemn warnings to the Executive Government-Captain Cowper a third time attacked my property, in my absence, and without notice of action served upon me, and did so as is alleged under the \"peremptory\" orders of His Excellency himself. The allegation upon which this grave statement is founded, Captain Cowper neither admits nor denies, in any degree, and declares himself unable to \"explain.\"\n\nIn conclusion I would beg leave to suggest to His Excellency the expediency of furnishing me with a Captain Cowper's official report in full, upon Ly Ating's case, towards enabling me to challenge such \"facts\" as I copy of may, and rebut them if I can, and thus lay as complete a case as possible before Her Majesty's Government.

I.\n\nColonial Secretary's Office, Victoria, Hongkong, 29th October, 1856.\n\nSIR,—I have the honor to acknowledge your letter of 26th instant, received this morning.\n\nAs regards the proposal in your letter of 24th instant. to which you now allude as having received no reply, I am directed to observe that His Excellency presumes this to refer to your application for Captain Cowper's Official report in Ly Ating's case, which report already forms enclosure in a dispatch to the Secretary of State for the Colonies, and cannot in accordance with the rules of the service be furnished to yourself.-I have the honor to be Sir, your most obedient servant,\n\nA. R. HUDSON, Esq.\n\n(Signed)\n\nW. T. MERCER, Colonial Secretary.\n\nHongkong, 16th March, 1857.\n\nSIR,-I had the honor to receive on the 7th ultimo, through His Excellency, Sir John Bowring, the accompanying intimation of your opinion upon the case of confiscation of property submitted to you in my memorials, dated respectively the 10th of October, and 1st November last year.\n\nI should have accepted the reply thus communicated as the final decision of Her Majesty's Government upon the question, had I not found that you have conceived an erroneous impression which has no doubt entered into and governed your judgment of the case.\n\nYou intimate to me that if I thought proper to continue my works, relying on the decision of the Inferior Court in my favour, I must myself bear the consequences of that decision having proved erroneous.\n\n3.-In explanation Sir, I have the honor to inform you that the inferior Court thus indicated, is not only the identical Court provided by the Ordinance itself, and charged with this special adjudication, but it is the only Court. This leads inevitably to the following conclusions.\n\n(9)\n\nFirst. I could hardly be expected to appeal against the decision of the appointed Court, when that decision was in my own favor.\n\nSecondly. If the decision had been the other way, I have it under the hand of Governor Bowring himself, in a public letter to the Bench of Magistrates, that I had no appeal to a higher Court under writ of Certiorari the Crown itself having no benefit of appeal, so jealously was the inferior Court invested with exclusive jurisdiction over all issues under the Ordinance in question; and\n\nFinally. I cannot reconcile it that Her Majesty's Government should thus ordain a Court with these absolute and peremptory powers over the property of Her Majesty's subjects within this Colony, and subsequently nullify its action.\n\nThe following brief resume will serve to recall the leading facts of this case.\n\n4. My works were first impeached by summons before the appointed Court on the 23rd of May, 1856, and a decision which I certainly ventured to \"rely upon,\" was pronounced in my favor.\n\n5.They were impeached a second time before the same Tribunal (being the only Tribunal) on the 3rd June following, when a second decision was pronounced in my favor, upon which I again ventured \"to rely\" and continued my works accordingly.\n\n6. They were impeached a third time, not until the 20th of August following, the executive of this Colony thus allowing me a most injurious license of time to complete them! When a stipendiary Magistrate (not a Bench of Magistrates as before) stated in open Court that he felt himself bound to defer to some indirect opinion of His Honor the Chief Justice (though not judicially pronounced) to the effect that the former decisions in my favor were contrary to Ordinance No. 8 of 1856, condemned my property and adjudged its absolute confiscation to the Crown.\n\n7. Should it occur to you Sir, that at this last stage at least, under an adverse decision, I might have appealed to a superior Court. I point with all respect again to Sir John Bowring's recorded opinion founded upon the advice of the Honorable Attorney General, that I had no recourse of appeal.\n\nI may mention here, that upon receipt of His Excellency's letter of 22nd September, 1856, suggesting an action in the Supreme Court against the late Surveyor General for any trespass I had to complain of, I took legal advice upon the point which was to this effect, and which I now submit to the Law Officers of the Crown, viz: that the warrant of the inferior Court under section 17 of Ordinance No. 8 of 1856, in conjunction with section 10 of Ordinance No. 12 of 1856, did so completely place my property at the \"absolute discretion\" of the Surveyor General that no action could be sustained against him.\n\n8. This brief history of the case would seem to present the following extraordinary features. Firstly, That the warrant of the inferior Court, which I am informed I should not have \"relied upon\" was sufficient to destroy my property and to confiscate its materials to the use of the Crown.\n\nSecondly.—Sir John Bowring's recorded memorandum assures me upon the opinion of Her Majesty's Attorney General, that the Crown itself has no right of appeal against the decree of the inferior Court, and\n\nLastly. Even if an appeal to a higher Court did lie, I submit it to the judgment of the Law Officers of the Crown, whether such an appeal would have afforded me any redress in the premises?\n\n9.—Such are the absolute powers of the inferior Court in question, the constitution of which you cannot have been informed of when you caused it to be intimated to me that I should not have relied upon it.\n\n10. Being altogether ignorant of the representations made to you regarding the substantial construction of the Building destroyed. I beg leave with all respect to allege as follows-\n\nFirst. The three tenements destroyed, stood within my own compound, detached from all other buildings whatever, and all fire connection was thus cut off.\n\nSecondly. They were commenced and reared as high as the first story, at a time when there was no Building Ordinance amongst our local laws and at a time when I had no scale or specification of any kind to guide me. Yet that in the absence of all control of Law, I reared buildings of a substantial and solid construction, the following parallel will sufficiently show Construction required by the Metropolitan Building Act, 1855, for houses of dimensions corresponding to my tenements destroyed (see first schedule of the Act, table 2, division, 8.)\n\nActual Scale of my Tenements Destroyed.\n\nWalls of Upper Story\n\n8 inches\n\nDitto of Second Story\n\n9\n\nBasement Story.\n\n13\n\nMetropolitan Specification.\n\nWalls of Upper Story\n\n8 3/4 inches\n\nDitto of Second Story\n\n9\n\nDitto of Basement Story\n\n18\n\nThus my scale of building, without any sort of specification before me, or any local law to rule me, was no less than 20 to 13 per cent. higher than the requirements of the corresponding class of houses in the City of London! The materials being precisely the same, viz., brick and stone.\n\nI am willing to rest any claim for compensation upon my substantiation of this fact, and submit with all deference, that a scale of construction which is held sufficient for the Metropolis of the world, was good enough for Hongkong in the absence of all prescribed scale.\n\nIt is not out of place to observe that the still higher scale laid down in the Building Act of this Colony was prescribed not by an experienced Architect or Surveyor, but by a Military Engineer, while no evidence as to suitableness upon this or any other point of this assurance was taken a closed Legislature.\n\n11.-I now approach a point in this case Sir, to which I would entreat your most grave attention.\n\n12.-I am informed by your order that you cannot suppose from the papers laid before you that my works were so far proceeded with, on the occasion of the first interruption as to have rendered that interruption of material consequence to me.\n\nI am willing to accept the late Surveyor General's own showing as to the level which my works had attained, on occasion of the first interruption. According to his account they had reached that level to which he afterwards cut them down--in other words, they were reared to the height of the bressummers over the front doorways, which he left undemolished and which is the level of the first story.\n\nBy \"first interruption\" I presume is meant the first summons citing me to appear before the appointed Court on 23rd of May. For that summons on that date, was the first notice of any kind that I received in the matter, as Captain Cowper himself admitted upon oath, on the investigation of the case as per copy of Depositions appended.\n\nNow, Sir, to this point I would humbly crave your attention. So far from this \"first interruption\" not making any material consequence to me, it would, if the first decision had been adverse (as witness the result of the final decision!) have worked the absolute forfeiture of every plank and brick and boulder that had entered into my buildings up to that date!\n\nYou are not perhaps aware, that the offence charged against me, in the first, second, and third summonses was this, my buildings, in progress, were not in conformity with a certain specification laid down in the new Ordinance.\n\nMy defence held good by a full Bench of Magistrates, on the two first occasions was that I could not be held accountable for non-conformity to a specification which was not before me-which was not in existence at the time.\n\nOn the third occasion, this reasonable view of the new law was reversed and every item of my materials was declared as placed at the absolute discretion of the Surveyor General.\n\nHow that discretion was exercised, and how little power I had from first to last, to rely upon the forbearance of the Government of this Colony is already known to you.\n\nBut what I seek particularly to impress upon you, Sir, is this-that at any stage of my works, whether on occasion of the first interruption or subsequently...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-076 - Individuals - 1859.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 248683, "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": "CO129-076 - Individuals - 1859", "page_number": 286, "title": "CO129-076 - Individuals - 1859", "content_text": "(10)\n\nfirst, second or third interruptions, the result of an adverse decision under the new law must have been the same namely to work an absolute forfeiture of all the materials at stake. I will be judged by the Ordinance itself, whether upon the Surveyor General proving any contravention of it, however immaterial, even though that contravention be an ex post facto one, even though it be the contravention of a specification that was not in existence on the day it was contravened—whether (I repeat with all respect) upon his proving the simplest contravention, he does not become entitled to have the work in progress adjudged a nuisance, and all its materials placed at his “absolute discretion”? (see section 17 of Ordinance No. 18 of 1856, in connection with section 10 of Ordinance No. 12 of 1856). Surely, Sir, such being the law, it was of very \"material consequence\" to me on occasion of the first interruption of 23rd May, to rescue the basement stories of my three buildings from the \"absolute discretion\" of the Surveyor General. If that \"first interruption\" had consisted of a notice or a caution, or an official warning of any kind and I had disobeyed it, the consequence might fairly be chargeable to my own obstinacy, but I present the depositions of 3rd June, appended, as contrasted with the Surveyor General's report upon case quoted in Colonial Secretary's letter, No. 765 of 22nd October, that I built \"in defiance of repeated warnings.\" He swore under his own hand and upon oath, that he gave me no notice or warning whatever. May I further comment on one more fact in this deposition. If the Surveyor General could not, as he alleges, \"find the contractor in the case\" he might have found myself, the registered owner—residing on the very premises. His very first step was a summons, which showed that he looked but for one result—the confiscation of my basement stories.\n\nThus forced by the Surveyor General into an attitude of sheer defence, and finding the decision of the appointed Court in my favor, is it any wonder that I should have proceeded, on the scale on which I had begun (20 per cent, higher than the London scale), and which I could not then alter or conform without demolishing all the work done, down to the very foundation and commencing all de novo.\n\n(13) However it is the law itself, and not merely its oppressive execution which I complain of and protest against, as unsettling all the primary foundations of property in this Colony and outraging the first rights of the British subject. That law must be without a precedent even in the annals of Colonial legislation, which upon the day it was passed discovers a contravention of its specifications in the basement story of a building actually roofed in, but not \"finished,\" and because of that fundamental contravention which was equally impossible to foresee or to remedy, would condemn the whole building and its materials to the absolute discretion of the \"Surveyor General\"! This was not my case, but it was a case which actually arose.\n\n(14) His Excellency Governor Bowring in laying this case of mine with the essential connexions fully before you, has, I trust, informed you that it did not stand alone—that large masses of property were included with mine in the summonses of 23rd May, (date of the first interruption) that the former were protected by the decision of the Bench of Magistrates on the date given, while mine alone was attacked and confiscated on the 20th August following. His Excellency has, I trust further informed you, that the property of American citizens, I name that of Mr. R. S. Sturgis, and Mr. J. B. Endicott, were included with mine in these very summonses of 23rd of May. Their Buildings on Queen's Road, Central Victoria, were actually roofed in though not completely \"finished\" (see section 11, Ordinance No. 8 of 1856), when they were attacked for a non-conformity in the basement stories! The decision of the Bench protected them as already stated, else it would have been hardly creditable to the Legislature of this Colony, that the property of American citizens, should have been destroyed like mine, and confiscated to the uses of the British Crown, under the operation of an ex post facto law. The legality of such a confiscation would, I can assure you have been challenged by the American authorities, (as was well known here at the time, and a protest upon these very grounds, prepared to meet any injurious issue) and I affirm, Sir, with all respect, that you owe it to the action of the Bench of Justices that you have not at this moment an international question to deal with, instead of a mere municipal one, a question that would then have involved in the face of the world, a huge scandal upon the Executive of this Colony, as having sanctioned the confiscation of an Alien's property under the action of a retrospective Law and appropriated its proceeds to the use of Her Majesty's Government.\n\n(14) Finally, Sir, and by way of exhibiting that I did everything in this matter which a dutiful subject of Her Majesty could be expected to do, everything in my power towards saving myself from loss, and the local Government from responsibility. I beg leave to place in your hands copy of a letter which I received on 3rd June, from the Honorable the Colonial Secretary, in this behalf.\n\n(15) Shortly after the appearance of Ordinance No. 8 of 1856, in draft, I hastened down from Canton, and consulted that functionary the Colonial Secretary, as to how far the proposed law might affect my works then in progress. I have now the honor to submit his opinion to you. It is to the effect, that on 3rd June (the date of the second judgment by the Magistrates in my favor) he, the Colonial Secretary was prepared in his capacity as a Member of that Court, which is designated as \"inferior\" to exempt my works from the operation of the new Law, though on different and lower grounds, than those taken by his brother Justices. I have a letter of a later date from Mr. Mercer, revoking his opinion of the 3rd June, but do not feel myself at liberty to submit it without his permission. His letter however of 3rd June, will serve to show that I carried on my works throughout the period therein indicated upon the authority of the highest Ministerial Officer of the Government, himself a Member of the Legislature, which passed the law of which he pronounced me independent.\n\n(16) After the further exposition of this oppressive case, which I trust will serve to place the whole matter in a clearer light before you, it now only remains for me, with profound respect and confidence to entreat a fresh opinion at your hands upon the full premises, and to pray that you will be pleased to order an investigation to be made by the Local Government into such actual losses as I may be able to substantiate, and reimbursement out of the Colonial Chest to be made to me accordingly, eased as I must presume it to have been by the value of my building materials employed in the construction of Government works, as shown in my letter to the late acting Surveyor General, dated 19th of September, 1856, already before you in the correspondence transmitted.—I have the honor to be Sir, your most obedient humble servant,\n\n(Signed)\n\nA. R. HUDSON.\n\n(COPY.)\n\nMY DEAR HUDSON,—Some four or five weeks ago you asked my opinion on clause three of the Building Ordinance, which I gave you and still retain.\n\nYou now call my attention to Clause 11, and I beg to say that the two are quite consistent and reconcilable. \"Or\" is disjunctive, consequently each participle in 11 must be read separately, and not conjunctively as I am told the Magistrates read them the week before last. But at the same time each participle in that clause must be read in connexion with the words immediately following the last, \"in contravention of this Ordinance.\"\n\nWe must now look to see what is in contravention of the Ordinance, and we find it throughout, with an exemption plainly laid down in Clause 3 of works in continuous progress for three weeks. Such works then are not in contravention of the Ordinance, and by a further consequence do not come under Clause 11. But it may be argued that Clause 11 concerns nuisances, a word that does not occur in Clause 3. True, but Clause 4 applies the word distinctly to Clause 3, and thus connects Clause 3, with Clause 11.\n\n(11)\n\nErgo—in my opinion, now, as when I spoke to you some time ago, a house of which the building has been in continued course for three months to date of complaint is not a nuisance under Clause 11 as not \"commenced, resumed, prosecuted, or finished, in contravention of the Ordinance.\"\n\nHad I time, I would myself attend on the Bench to day, but as I cannot, you are at liberty to use the above argument.—Yours truly,\n\nC. S. O. 3rd June, 1856.\n\n(Signed)\n\nW. T. MERCER.\n\n(True Copy)\n\nA. R. HUDSON.\n\n(COPY.) No. 788.\n\nColonial Secretary's Office. Victoria, Hongkong, 29th October, 1856. SIR, I have the honor to acknowledge your letter of 26th instant, received this morning. As regards the proposals in your letter of 24th instant, to which you now allude as having received no reply. I am directed to observe that His Excellency presumes this to refer to your application for Captain Cowper's Official Report in Ly Hing's case, which report already forms enclosures in a despatch to the Secretary of State for the Colonies and cannot in accordance with the rules of the service, be furnished to yourself.

Mr. Labouchere is of opinion that the circumstances of the case justified the retrospective operation of that Ordinance and cannot suppose from the papers laid before him, that your works were so far proceeded with on the occasion of the first interruption as to have rendered that interruption of material consequence to you.\n\nIf you thought proper to continue them, relying on the decision of an Inferior Court in your favor, you must yourself bear the consequences of that decision having proved erroneous.—I have the honor to be, Sir, your most obedient servant,\n\n(Signed) W.

I have the honor to request in the event of that letter not proving completely satisfactory to you, that you will favor me with a copy of His Excellency Governor Bowring's despatch, which caused you to take such an unfavorable view of my claim, to be furnished to me, in order that I may have an opportunity of correcting any errors affecting my case into which His Excellency may have been unconsciously led. I am sure I need do no more than appeal to His Excellency's sense of justice to second this request, the more so as he informed me, that it was owing to an official regulation, my former request to the same effect could not be complied with, as will appear from the enclosed correspondence,—I have the honor to be, Sir, your most obedient humble servant,\n\n(Signed) A.

One of the forty-five escaping, returned to Hongkong, and informed the Registrar General; and that officer, after a delay of a week, laid the story before His Excellency the Governor, by whom he was authorized to proceed to Macao and obtain the release of the men alleged to have been kidnapped.\n\nThe Registrar General accordingly, accompanied by Ahsoong, the escaped—or supposed to have escaped—Cooler, landed in Macao on the 21st of January 1850; and as by the advertisement in the Daily Press of that date appended*, no steamer left Hongkong for Macao before noon, the hour at which they so landed must have been late in the day, a circumstance of moment as will be shown anon.\n\nAhsoong has stated in evidence—that after landing, he saw the thirty-two whom—when he escaped—he left at the Sun-fook-tie hong, in a boat.—The 22nd of January being Sunday, nothing was done by Mr. Caldwell towards finding the men so seen in a boat, and when he went with the Procurador and other Macao officers to the Sun-fook-tie hong on Monday the 23rd, finding that some thirty Coolies had been sent to the French ship Emilie Percire two days previous, it was assumed that these were the thirty-two for whom he sought—Mr. Caldwell, indeed, has sworn that the names and description of the men who had so left the Hong answered to the names and descriptions given to him by Ahsoong as being a portion of the forty-five, and to this swearing I shall refer presently.\n\nThey then went to the St Antonio barracoon, and finding there four of the forty-five, arrangements were made for their release, and eventually they were released.\n\nAfter that, another man was brought by Ahsoong, as being one of the forty-five, and he, too, was released.\n\nMr. Caldwell then returned to Hongkong, and, with Ahsoong, and another man calling himself Kwon-sun-quan, gave such evidence to the Police Magistrate as warranted His Worship in committing Shum Abing for trial. And the circumstance must be noted at the outset, that neither at this preliminary investigation, nor at the Supreme Court did either of the five that were released at Macao give evidence; neither of the names of the released men being Kwon-sun-kwun;—while all the released men signed their names to Contracts, and Kwon-sun-kwan could not write. Upon evidence of which the above is the general tenor, Sham Abing was convicted and sentenced as stated.\n\n## Advertisement of Feima at Noon—Shamrock at One v. A.\n\n20 \n\nIn his defence at the courts, and in a statement which he sent to me during the time I was in the Criminal gaol expiating my sentence for the theft found at the Sessions of September 1859, Shum Abing denied that he deceived the men—denied that he sold them—denied everything criminatory but the receiving some two hundred and two or three dollars in liquidation of a debt to him for board of 120 of whom the 45 that went to Macao formed a section—He admitted that he went to Macao with the men;—asserted that, on landing, the forty-five went to the bungalow of a respectable East coast firm called Maun-shing;—that thence ten went to The Sun-fook-tie hong on agreement to go to Havana, and that of the money which they obtained in advance of wages, he received what was due to him, viz $2.25. What amount was actually given in advance he did not know; for Eng-Atuk, one of the forty-five, acted as broker, and received all over what he got.\n\nWell, if this defence had been substantiated at the trial, the indictment would have fallen to the ground; for in so receiving, out of an advance of wages, money bona fide due to him, he committed no crime;—he did, in short, what any other person in business would do, and no more.\n\nInstead of employing a lawyer to defend him, and there is this excuse that he had no money for a retainer,—Shum Ahing sent a letter to Mr. Caldwell from the gaol, in which he said that, knowing he wanted for Ma-elow Wong's wife the house which had been built for carrying on the business of the Kwong-yee-loong, he would give it up, and would also give him four hundred dollars if he would cause the charge against him to be dropped.\n\nBut it is necessary that I should tell you how I have arrived at this knowledge. It was in this wise. When His Excellency said he was willing to receive from me any statement tending to show that Shum Ahing was innocent of the crime of which he was convicted, I referred to my diary of the period when Shun Alting was in gaol on remand, and I found that I had noted that a man, described as Mr. Grandpre's servant, had taken a message or letter from a prisoner to Caldwell, in which the prisoner in question had asked Caldwell to help this Shum Ahing; and knowing that this prisoner had been released, and was in Canton, I sent for him, and asked him to tell me what he remembered of the matter. The Rev. D. Vrooman happened to call just as he arrived, and in order to do away with any appearance of collusion between us, I asked him to put the necessary questions and finally to request the deponent to put in writing all he had to say. The result was a paper of which the following is Mr. Vrooman's translation.\n\nPage 325", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-087 - Sir Robinson - 1862 [7] & Acting Governor Mercer - 1862 [7-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 254236, "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": "CO129-087 - Sir Robinson - 1862 [7] & Acting Governor Mercer - 1862 [7-9]", "page_number": 339, "title": "CO129-087 - Sir Robinson - 1862 [7] & Acting Governor Mercer - 1862 [7-9]", "content_text": "335\n\nIt also appears that they have taken onto making a prison (When he was penalty imposed when his life in Calduck with Widian af?

It is right that I should exonerate his Grace the Duke of Newcastle for this supercession, it having taken place during the rule of his Grace's predecessor. In a letter from me to Lord Stanley, dated 19th July, 1858, I applied for the appointment of Governor of Singapore, on a vacancy occurring; the reply to this letter came from Sir Bulwer Lytton, then Secretary of State for the Colonies, couched in these words (No. 43 of 1st October, 1858):-\n\n\"You will inform Colonel Caine that I am aware of the value of the services rendered by him during the long and continuous period of his connection with Hong Kong, and that these will not fail to receive due weight in the event of any arrangement being adopted which would involve his removal from the office which he holds in that colony.\"\n\nOther despatches referring to and acknowledging my services from the Colonial Office are in existence: one was No. 22 of 26th March, 1859. I was instructed by the Colonial Office, in the aforesaid despatch, to send in a Memorial of my services for pension, and, not being a free agent, obedience was imperative, as is shown by my reply 91, of 20th May, 1859, herewith attached.\n\nIt was my duty to obey, and I did so; and I state this fact to show that the act itself was compulsory, but the pension, though full and adequate, has not removed the sting attached to the unjust supercession, or in the remotest manner nullified the stigma thereby adhering to my character to the end of my days. It appeared as if I were doomed to disgrace, notwithstanding that I have on three several occasions expressed to the Colonial Office my readiness to meet any charge prejudicial to my character that might be exhibited.\n\nOn 21st January, 1861, I applied to his Grace the Duke of Newcastle for re-employment in the Colonial Service, volunteering to go to any part of the world he might be pleased to order me (and since that application I have ventured to name \"Western Australia,\" \"Singapore,\" and even \"Labuan\"), a reply from the Colonial Office, dated 22nd January, 1861, is to this purport:-\"His Grace will bear in mind your wish for re-employment, but there are so many old colonial servants seeking employment at the present time, that his Grace is unable to hold out the expectation of being able speedily to avail himself of your services.\"\n\n5\n\nIt is proper that I should here lay before your Majesty communication of mine to the Duke of Newcastle, of which the following is an extract, dated 9th June, 1860:--\n\n\"Having perused in a recent Gazette of Civil Officers honoured with the dignity of knighthood, commencing with the late Chief Justice of New Zealand, I have to submit my name to your Grace's kind consideration for a similar honour.\" \"The honour I solicit would be a full recognition on the part of our most gracious Sovereign of a career embracing more than forty-six years of continued foreign service.\" The reply of the 13th July, 1860, crushing my hopes, states:-\"The Companionship of the Bath which you solicit is an honour intended to be a recognition of peculiar and distinguished services. His Grace does not consider that the civil services which you have had the opportunity of rendering to the Crown under this Department, however meritorious, would justify him in recommending you for that special mark of the Royal approbation; but it would rest with the Secretary of State for War to consider how far your military services may merit such a reward, if you should think it right to bring those services under his consideration.\"\n\nI beg to observe that I did not apply for the Companionship of the Bath. And I would here remark, for the purpose of showing a precedent, and that, too, without the slightest prejudice to the gallant and distinguished soldier in question, Major-General Sir Edward MacArthur, whilst in command of Her Majesty's Forces in Australia, acted temporarily as Governor during the absence of the latter, and received through the Colonial Office, the honour of a Knight Commander of the Civil Order of the Bath.\n\nOn again addressing the Colonial Office, begging his Grace to grant me an audience, I was informed by letter of 5th December, 1861, that \"The Duke of Newcastle is so very much occupied just now with urgent public business, that he is quite unable to see any one except upon public subjects of an important nature. Under these circumstances, he will not, I fear, be able to grant you an interview; but you need not, I think, be under any apprehension that your name will escape his recollection.” And finally, to the last appeal, the private Secretary intimates on the 2nd February, 1864, that His Grace regrets that he is unable to offer you further employment.\"\n\nIt will thus be evident to my Sovereign, that I am now bereft of all hope of honours or future employment through the Colonial Office, and consequently compelled to throw myself upon the benevolent consideration of your Majesty for that relief otherwise unattainable.

Of the practicability of this project, there seems to be no question among persons on the spot. The Rangoon papers write in its favour, and the general body of mercantile men in the East regard it as perfectly feasible and most desirable.\n\nOur English Government at first looked unfavourably on the proposition, and long snubbed it officially as an impracticable project. The treaty with Burmah has, however, removed what was, in truth, the only serious difficulty in the way. We believe that if adequately pressed by mercantile bodies, like our Chambers of Commerce, the Government will be driven to take steps to remove any other difficulties, except those which should be left to private enterprise. The Manchester Chamber of Commerce has recently presented a second memorial on the subject, and Leeds has before now made representations in favour of thus opening up the West of China. Let not its energy flag.\n\n## ESMOK, ON THE SOUTH-WEST OF CHINA\n\n(Rangoon Gazette, 19th May, 1863.)\n\nOne of the chief difficulties which has beset Captain Sprye in his energetic attempts to bring about direct commercial communication between British Burmah and Western China is the supreme ignorance of objectors. Sometimes the provinces of China bordering on Burmah are described as being unfruitful and sterile, and the population scanty; sometimes all but impassable mountains are said to block up the way; and, among other ingenious guesses, to assist in bringing disfavour upon the project, is that started, we believe, by the `Friend of India`, viz., that \"Esmok is a myth.\" But there is now some chance of justice being done to the projector of this direct route. Mr. Bixby, of the Toungoo missionary establishment, is prosecuting inquiries regarding the South-Eastern Shan States, and South-Western China; and the result is that such information as he has collected inclines him to think favourably of Captain Sprye's proposition. The province of Yunan has been described to him as populous and productive, and Samoke, or Esmoke (Esmok), as a large and wealthy city, inhabited chiefly by Chinese, but partly by Shans and other races.\n\nIn our extract columns, we give Mr. Bixby's letter in full from the `Rangoon Times`. It will, doubtless, attract the attention of Captain Sprye, who is at this present time engaged in circulating among mercantile men at home the information which led to his conception of the practicability of an overland trade way from Rangoon to China. Mr. Bixby's inquiries, so far as they have yet been prosecuted, are all in favour of Captain Sprye, and all against the crude surmises of the half-informed, or else utterly ignorant people, who set themselves up for critics of his project.\n\n### FROM M. H. B., Toungoo, 4th May, 1863\n\n\"I noticed in your paper, a short time since, that the existence of such a city as Esmok, on the Chinese frontier, is questioned; that it was called 'a myth, &c., &c.\n\n\"I have taken some pains to ascertain the truth about it, but until to-day had been unable to get any reliable information from the Shans. This morning, I found a Shan, who came from Mung-la, opposite Esmok according to Yule's map, and, without giving him any names, required him to give me an outline map of the country, with the names of all the principal places. Among the number of these, I find Seing-sa-moke, which is, beyond question, Esmok. It is a Shan word. Seing means a Buddhist temple, or zayat, and sa-moke is descriptive of the land upon which it stands. The city is called, therefore, quite naturally, Sa-moke; and Esmok and Samoke are quite as similar as Dow-way and Tavoy, Mau-lamyeing and Maumain, Pyeemnico and Prome, Sittoung and Sitting, and many other Burman names anglicised.\n\n\"Sa-moke is said to be a large city, inhabited principally by Chinese, but with a large admixture of Shans, and other races. The country around must be very populous and wealthy.\n\n\"Judging from the accounts given me by natives, Yunan must be a remarkable country, both as it regards the people and the natural productions. More complete and reliable information will be forthcoming. Such data as I have lead me to think favourably of Captain Sprye's project.\"\n\n## LAND TELEGRAPH TO HONG-KONG AND THE CHINESE PORTS\n\n(Glasgow Herald, 14th July, 1863.)\n\nA Committee of the House of Commons, taken aback by answers made to them by Brinsley, the hydraulic engineer, in regard to a project under consideration, asked him abruptly what he thought Providence intended rivers for? What do I think Providence intended rivers for?\" repeated Brinsley, \"why, to feed navigable canals, of course!\" If Brinsley was entitled to the joke for the sake of the good philosophy in it—though the Chinese, whose commerce depends so much on their canals, would probably think that his raison d'être for rivers was quite sufficient—much more might our utilitarian merchants be pardoned if they thought that God had created electricity with a special eye to the electric telegraph. In this mode of application, it has subserved our highest worldly interests to an extent which could never have been anticipated.\n\n| Route | Distance (geographical miles) |\n| -------------------- | ------------------------------ |\n| London to Belgrade | 900 |\n| Belgrade to Constantinople | 450 |\n| Constantinople to Bussorah | 1100 |\n| Bussorah to Kurrachee | 1050 |\n| Karrachee to Calcutta | 1155 |\n| Calcutta to Dacca | 135 |\n| Dacca to Rangoon | 480 |\n| Rangoon to Shooe-Gyen | 130 |\n\nThere are few of our merchants, if they look at their maps and follow the route we have described, who will not feel their mouths watering, in a figurative sense, when they find the telegraph so terminating in Pegu. Their eyes will traverse, with eager and wistful glance, the narrow overland space that separates Shooe-Gyen from that mighty gateway of our commerce with China—Hong-Kong; and they will naturally ask themselves why the Home and Indian Governments, having wisely and successfully carried the wires so far, should not carry them the little farther that is thus needed to bring Hong-Kong into direct telegraphic communication with London? The distance, compared with that which will soon be traversed by the telegraph to India, is insignificant, and 120 miles of it would be over British territory. We should then, according to the detailed statement of the Messrs. Sprye hereon, have 279 miles from the north-east frontier of British Pegu, across Burmah, by the cities of Kiang-Tang and Kiang-Hung, to Sz-mau (Esmok) on the south-west frontier of China. Thence along the imperial roads, down the Pearl and West River valleys, through six or seven of the principal Southern Chinese cities, to Canton, would be 757 miles; with 70 more from that city to Hong-Kong. These distances yield a total of only 1,226 geographical miles, or, by adding one-fourth, as before, for deviations, 1,534.\n\nBeing then on the eve of completing an unbroken line of telegraphic communication from London as far as Eastern Pegu, a distance of 6,750 geographical, or about 7,100 English, miles, it becomes a question of great and pressing importance, especially to our merchants and shipowners, in view of the vast interests which we now have springing up in China, whether the Home and Indian Governments should not take the steps necessary for carrying the wires over the 1,500 miles of land that separate us from Hong-Kong. The project is not new. For several years, the Messrs. Sprye, whose names are well known in connection with our commercial system in the East, have been pressing on both Governments the importance of thus extending the Indian wires, by land, from Pegu to Hong-Kong and the open ports of China; and have spared no pains in endeavouring to satisfy them and the public as to the practicability of the proposal.\n\n## THE COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH BURMAH\n\n(Manchester Guardian, 21st July, 1863.)\n\nIn the `Guardian` of the 18th ultimo, we published the text of the treaty concluded with the King of Burmah on the 10th of November. We will here notice those provisions of it which seem to us to possess most interest to home manufacturers, merchants, and shipowners.\n\nArticle 4 of the treaty, referring to goods imported into Rangoon from any British or foreign territory, for export to the Burmese territory, stipulates that—\"If such goods are declared for export to other territories, and not for sale in the Burmese territory, the Burmese ruler shall, if he believes the manifest to be true, not cause bulk to be broken, and such goods shall be free of duty.\"\n\nNow, the western provinces of China comprise the only \"other territories\" beyond Burmah that can be commercially approached from Rangoon.\n\nAnother most valuable provision in the treaty, in reference to the opening of direct trade between Eastern Pegu and China across Burmah, is that part of article 7 which provides that:—\"British merchants shall be allowed to settle and to have lands...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-103 - Others - 1864.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 261853, "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": "CO129-105 - Acting Governor Mercer - 1865 [5-7]", "page_number": 24, "title": "CO129-105 - Acting Governor Mercer - 1865 [5-7]", "content_text": "## Contents of Evening Chest and Sting\n\n6564, Steng Keng Ance & No. 129. \n29-26 July/65 \n\n**RECEIVED** \nJULY 11 \n1865 \n1:43.\n\n**Financial** \nSir, \nHongkong. \n22 \n10th May, 1865.\n\nWith reference to your Despatch No. 34 of the 1st March last [1069] approving the principle of the proposed amendment of \"Hongkong Pension Minute, but slightly altering the words from \n\nThe Right Honorable \nEdward Cardwell, M.P.,", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-105 - Acting Governor Mercer - 1865 [5-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 261976, "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": "CO129-105 - Acting Governor Mercer - 1865 [5-7]", "page_number": 147, "title": "CO129-105 - Acting Governor Mercer - 1865 [5-7]", "content_text": "## The RE Truth R.

That on the 20th day of March last, the said Foong a' Shing returned to Hongkong, and informed me that he had chartered in Cho Kum a Junk called the Kum Shun Lee, that he had loaded her with rice, and that he had left Cho Kum in the said Junk for Hongkong; that the said Foong a' Shing further informed me that on the 8th of March, when near a place called Foong Khy on the West Coast of China, they got into a gale of wind, during which the said Junk was dismasted, she having lost her main-mast. That the said Foong a' Shing further informed me that fearing the said Junk might not be able to reach Hongkong in her then disabled state, he had left her to pursue her course whilst he had landed at Foong Khy aforesaid, and that partly by land and partly by boats he had found his way back to Hongkong to consult with me as to what should be done, it being his opinion that the said Junk could not reach Hongkong at that time of the year in her then crippled state. That after the said Foong a Shing and myself had consulted together we decided upon hiring a steamer to go out in search of the Junk, and tow her up to Hongkong, and that the said Foong a' Shing should go himself in the steamer in search of her. That accordingly on the following day, the 21st March, I went to Oo Tye who I knew to be a friend of Kwok a' Cheong, and requested him to ascertain if Kwok a' Cheong would allow one of his steamers to go in search of the said Junk and tow her up to Hongkong, and what he would charge for the service. That I was informed by the said Oo Tye on the same day that he had arranged with Kwok a' Cheong for the service of the steamer Prince Albert. That I was to pay to Kwok a' Cheong the sum of Six Hundred Dollars for the use of the said steamer in searching for the Junk, and that this sum should be paid absolutely, whether they succeeded in finding the junk or not, and that if they found the said Junk, a further sum should be paid for towing the said Junk to Hongkong, the amount whereof was to be settled between the Captain of the steamer and the person to be sent by me on the said expedition.

That one of the said vessels so registered as a British ship, and owned by your petitioner is the small steamer **Prince Albert**, of Hongkong, and that for some time previous to, and on the 21st day of March last past, the said vessel had been laid up in the harbour of Hongkong, and had no master on board.\n\nThat on that day Oo Tye of the Tow Shing shop, in Hongkong came to me, and said that a friend of his had a Junk coming up the Coast from Cochin China, to Hongkong, with cargo, that the said Junk had been dismasted in bad weather, and that he wanted to know what I would charge to send a steamer, to go in search of her down the West Coast, and tow her up to Hongkong.\n\nThat I agreed with the said Oo Tye to charter my said steamer **Prince Albert** to his friend, to go in search of the said Junk, for the sum of Six Hundred Dollars, which sum was to be paid to me whether the said steamer succeeded in finding the said Junk or not.\n\nThat it was further agreed between us that should the steamer succeed in finding the said Junk, a further sum should be paid for towing her up to Hongkong, the amount whereof should be settled between the Captain of my said steamer, and the person to be sent down in the said steamer on behalf of the Charterer, according to the size of the Junk, which was unknown to me, and the distance from Hongkong at which she was found.\n\nThat my said steamer being laid up I had to procure a master for her, which I did, and on the morning of the 22nd day of March last, I took the said master to the office of the Colonial Secretary of the said Colony, and had his name placed on the Register of the said steamer as master.\n\nThat the said master then applied to the Harbour Master of the said Colony for a Port Clearance to go out and search for a Junk to tow to Hongkong, and that such Port Clearance being granted, the said steamer left to search for the said Junk with a person on board sent by the Charterer to identify the said Junk when found.\n\nThat I placed neither Cargo nor Merchandize on board the said steamer, nor was any such placed on board of her to my knowledge, and that the said steamer was not dispatched for the purpose of trading at any Port or Place on the Coast of China, but solely and absolutely for the purpose of searching for, picking up, and towing the said Junk to Hongkong.\n\nAnd I make this solemn affirmation conscientiously believing the same to be true, and by virtue of the Provisions of an Act made and passed in the sixth year of the Reign of His late Majesty King William the Fourth, intituled \"An Act to repeal an Act of the then present Session of Parliament intituled, An Act for the more effectual abolition of Oaths and Affirmations taken and made in various Departments of the State, and to substitute Declarations in lieu thereof, and for the more entire suppression of voluntary and extrajudicial Oaths and Affidavits, and to make other Provisions for the abolition of unnecessary oaths.\"\n\nSigned, &c.\n\nThat I am informed by the master of the said steamer that he only went into the place where the steamer was found to make enquiries for the said Junk, and landed the said person sent down by the Charterer to make enquiries from the native craft as to whether the dismasted Junk had been met with or seen by any of them, and only went in and anchored there, while waiting his return, because where he was lying outside the port there were very heavily armed craft, and he had only 6 men besides firemen on board, with only a few muskets, and no guns in case he was attacked, and that the only object of the steamer's presence there was to wait for the person who had gone to make enquiries, and having obtained information, to proceed on her search for the said Junk down the Coast, the said steamer having already searched this side down the mainland of China without meeting with the said Junk, and that the said steamer did not leave Hongkong with the intention of going or resorting to such place, but went in there casually for the said object, and if the said Junk had been met with by the said steamer, she never would have gone in there.\n\nYour petitioner therefore prays that the steamer **Prince Albert**, which has been seized by the Imperial Maritime Customs for alleged breach of Treaty, may be released and handed back to him, or if the authorities decline to do so that you will be pleased to apply for the proper investigation and adjudication in the matter, and your petitioner will ever pray, &c.\n\n## ARTICLES BETWEEN MR.

It may occur to gentlemen that they would rather not have their personal virtues descanted on, or their claims to social consideration enforced, when everybody admits all that they can possibly desire in those respects. There is a degree of snobbishness in lagging in such matters to bolster up a weak argument on a purely public question. But this is not the only vulgar mistake the Press has committed in the course of the present controversy, and it was evident from the tone of the meeting on Monday that others share that opinion with ourselves.\n\nTHE STAMP ACT.\n\nA PUBLIC meeting, convened by the anti-Stamp Act Memorial Committee, was held in the Supreme Court room yesterday afternoon, for the purpose of receiving His Excellency's reply to the Memorial, and for taking such steps relating thereto as might be deemed advisable. At the time named for commencing proceedings, about 20 persons were present; that number had increased to about 120 when the business closed. The sheriff having opened the meeting by requesting the persons present to appoint a chairman, a motion was carried appointing Mr Maclean to preside. The motion was moved by Mr Bosman and seconded by Mr Ryrie.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN (who, as on the former occasion, retained his seat while addressing the meeting), explained that the meeting had been called in accordance with an advertisement, to receive His Excellency's reply to the Memorial that had been presented to the Governor against the Stamp Act. Almost every one, he dared to say, had already read the Memorial, but the proper course would be to read it to the meeting. The Chairman then read the reply (still keeping his seat). It was listened to quietly, the only interruption being a call for naming the gentlemen referred to by His Excellency as having communicated with him about the Stamp Act. The Chairman also produced the official statement of the financial position of the Colony that has already appeared in our columns, and a statistical paper showing (as we understood him) the proportions of rates paid by different classes of residents on this island. He (the Chairman) had only further to state that he had had a personal interview with the Governor, to bring before His Excellency the subject of the Chinese deputation. From a remark which fell from His Excellency in receiving that deputation, as reported in the local papers—which he (the Chairman) could not vouch for, but as there had been no contradiction, he supposed the report was correct—His Excellency had stated that the Chinese deputation was an offshoot of the European one, that it was in fact a \"get up\" on the part of the European community. He thought it was his duty, as Chairman of the memorial committee, to do away with His Excellency's impression on that head (hear). Therefore he distinctly stated to His Excellency that they had had nothing to do with the Chinese memorial (cheers), which had been started by the Chinese alone, and they (the committee) knew nothing of it half an hour before it was got up and presented. He advised them to apply at the Colonial Secretary's Office for permission to present the memorial. That was all he knew of it; indeed the publication of the memorial would show that the committee had had nothing to do with it. He told His Excellency that he was under the impression the Chinese had moved in the matter earlier than the Europeans did, and he gave a denial to the assertion that the committee had used any force or undue pressure on the Chinese in this matter—(cheers). Having now read the reply, he would be glad to hear any gentleman who was ready to take any further steps in this matter, which was a very important matter, so far as this Colony was concerned.\n\nA pause of some duration was broken by Mr McDouall remarking: It was said that at the last meeting everything was cut and dried; perhaps those who so complained will now come forward. Let them come (much laughter). Another lengthy pause ensued.\n\nMr GRANVILLE SHARP rose and commenced a very able speech by a jocular remark on the absence of strict formality at the meeting, and then urged them to consider whether the Stamp Act, which he was not there, however, to defend, would be so disastrous to the Colony as had been prophesied. Was this small measure really to reduce East Point to a pirate haunt? Make the City Hall a third-class public house? Convert Falconer's Jewellery store into a marine store? Would fishermen henceforth dry their nets under the piazza of the Oriental Bank (laughter and cheers). Nothing precipitated an event more than the anticipation of it. Never tell a man he is going to die, because he might do so through the assurance and then one might be held guilty of murder (laughter). Englishmen did not like to be taxed. He was against it, for taxation had a sting for him as it had for other Englishmen, and the moment it touched him he winced and groaned and shrunk from it, but bore it after all, as the poor patient camel did his load at Suez or Alexandria (laughter and cheers). But now that all had been done that could be done with regard to the Stamp Act, was it worth while to go on overcolouring the picture of desolation if Hongkong was to fall? Should it not fall with some show of magnanimity? And looking calmly on the other side of the question, might they not find something to prepare them for the adverse decision of the Secretary of State for the Colonies? (cheers). Mr Sharp argued that there was no substantial injustice inflicted by the Act, and remarked that at the last meeting this was said to be a bankers' question, and that the bankers would leave the port if they were further taxed. But he put it to the meeting whether the amount of police and lighting rates drawn from these wealthy corporations, some few hundred dollars each, was a fair contribution to the necessities and urgencies of the colony (cheers). Their capital here was equal to £5,000,000 sterling, yet the only liability that enormous amount of capital was under, was an insignificant house and police rate (cheers). The speaker contended against the proposal to increase the house tax, on the ground that the poorer rate-payers would pay the heaviest proportion of increase, and ridiculed the apprehensions that had been expressed about the future of Hongkong, a dreary feeling which he attributed to temporary depression of trade. As to the alarm felt by the Chinese, that was no doubt attributable to the other ordinances that had been lately passed for their government. It had been said that the merchants of Hongkong would go to Macao or Canton if the Stamp Act passed, and that it would lessen the value of property in Hongkong. There were properties for sale in Hongkong, not on account of the Stamp Act, but on account of previous overtrading and slump in business. There were houses also for sale in Canton and Macao.

That I went to Kwok a'Cheong accordingly, and after some bargaining it was agreed between Kwok a'Cheong and myself, that Kwok a'Cheong should dispatch his steamer the Prince Albert to go in search of the said Junk, and that Chun Achee should pay him the sum of Six Hundred Dollars for this service absolutely whether they succeeded in finding the Junk or not; and it was further agreed between us, that if they succeeded in finding the Junk, a further sum should be paid by the said Chun Achee to the steamer for towing her up to Hongkong, the amount thereof to be settled between the Captain of the steamer, and the person to be sent down in her on behalf of the said Chun Achee.\n\nThat I communicated these terms to the said Chun Achee, and he having agreed to them, the said steamer the Prince Albert was despatched on the said expedition on the following day.\n\nAnd I make this solemn affidavit conscientiously believing the same to be true, and by virtue of the Provisions of an Act made and passed in the sixth year of the Reign of his late Majesty King William the Fourth, intituled \"an Act to repeal an Act of the then present Session of Parliament, intituled, An Act for the more effectual abolition of Oaths and Affirmations taken and made in various Departments of the State, and to substitute Declarations in lieu thereof, and for the more entire suppression of voluntary and extrajudicial Oaths and Affidavits, and to make other Provisions for the abolition of unnecessary Oaths.\"\n\nSigned, &c.\n\nKWOK A'CHEONG'S DECLARATION.\n\nI, Kwok a'Cheong, of Victoria, in the Colony of Hongkong, Merchant, do hereby solemnly and sincerely declare that I am the owner of the British steam vessel called the Prince Albert, and that I hold her under a British Colonial Register granted to me by the Government of Hongkong, under Ordinance No. ... of 186... of the said Colony; that on the 21st day of March last, Oo Tye of the Tow Shing shop came to me and said that a friend of his had a Junk coming up the Coast to Hongkong with cargo, that the Junk had been dismasted, and that he wanted to know what I would charge to send a steamer to go in search of her, and tow her up to Hongkong; that I agreed with the said Oo Tye to charter my steamer the Prince Albert to his friend to go in search of the said Junk for the sum of Six Hundred Dollars, which sum was to be paid to me whether the steamer succeeded in finding the said Junk or not, and it was further agreed between us that should the steamer succeed in finding the said Junk, a further sum should be paid for towing her up to Hongkong, the amount thereof to be settled between the Captain of the steamer, and the person to be sent down in her on behalf of the Charterer, taking into consideration the size of the Junk, which was unknown to me, and the distance she would have to be towed.\n\nThat as my said steamer the Prince Albert had been laid up for some time, and as she was required to be dispatched on the following day I was compelled to ship a master for her immediately, and on the morning of the 22nd of March, I took the said master to the office of the Colonial Secretary to have his name placed on the Register of the said steamer as master; that the said master having obtained his Port Clearance from the Harbour Master of the said Colony, the said steamer left Hongkong to go in search of said Junk on the same day; that I placed neither cargo nor merchandize on board the said steamer, nor was any such placed on board of her to my knowledge; that the said steamer was not dispatched for the purpose of trading at any port or place whatsoever on the coast of China, but solely and absolutely for the purpose of searching for the said Junk, and towing her up to Hongkong.\n\nAnd I make this solemn affirmation conscientiously believing the same to be true, and by virtue of the Provisions of an Act made and passed in the sixth year of the Reign of His late Majesty King William the Fourth, intituled, \"An Act to repeal an Act of the then present Session of Parliament, intituled, An Act for the more effectual abolition of Oaths, and affirmations taken and made in various Departments of the State and to substitute Declarations in lieu thereof, and for the more entire suppression of voluntary and extrajudicial Oaths and Affidavits, and to make other Provisions for the abolition of unnecessary oaths.\n\n79\n\nSigned, &c.\n\nCHUN ACHEE'S DECLARATION.\n\nI, Chun Achee, of Victoria, in the Colony of Hongkong, Merchant, trading in copartnership with Foong a'Shing under the shop name of Toong Shing Chan, do hereby solemnly and sincerely declare, That on the 4th of January last, my partner the said Foong a'Shing left Hongkong to proceed to Cho Kum, a trading port in Cochin China, for the purpose of purchasing rice for our said shop. That on the 20th day of March last, the said Foong a'Shing returned to Hongkong, and informed me that he had chartered in Cho Kum a Junk called the Kum Shun Lee, that he had loaded her with rice, and that he had left Cho Kum in the said Junk for Hongkong; that the said Foong a'Shing further informed me that on the 8th of March, when near a place called Foong Khy on the West Coast of China, they got into a gale of wind, during which the said Junk was dismasted, she having lost her main-mast. That the said Foong a'Shing further informed me that fearing the said Junk might not be able to reach Hongkong in her then disabled state, he had left her to pursue her course whilst he had landed at Foong Khy aforesaid, and that partly by land and partly by boats he had found his way back to Hongkong to consult with me as to what should be done, it being his opinion that the said Junk could not reach Hongkong at that time of the year in her then crippled state. That after the said Foong a'Shing and myself had consulted together we decided upon hiring a steamer to go out in search of the Junk, and tow her up to Hongkong, and that the said Foong a'Shing should go himself in the steamer in search of her. That accordingly on the following day, the 21st March, I went to Oo Tye who I knew to be a friend of Kwok a'Cheong, and requested him to ascertain if Kwok a'Cheong would allow one of his steamers to go in search of the said Junk and tow her up to Hongkong, and what he would charge for the service. That I was informed by the said Oo Tye on the same day that he had arranged with Kwok a'Cheong for the service of the steamer Prince Albert. That I was to pay to Kwok a'Cheong the sum of Six Hundred Dollars for the use of the said steamer in searching for the Junk, and that this sum should be paid absolutely, whether they succeeded in finding the junk or not, and that if they found the said Junk, a further sum should be paid for towing the said Junk to Hongkong, the amount whereof was to be settled between the Captain of the steamer and the person to be sent by me on the said expedition. That I agreed to the above terms, and that on the following day, the 22nd of March the said steamer left Hongkong with my partner, the said Foong a'Shing on board to go in search of the said Junk.

That one of the said vessels so registered as a British ship, and owned by your petitioner is the small steamer Prince Albert, of Hongkong, and that for some time previous to, and on the 21st day of March last past, the said vessel had been laid up in the harbour of Hongkong, and had no master on board. That on that day Oo Tye of the Tow Shing shop, in Hongkong came to me, and said that a friend of his had a Junk coming up the Coast from Cochin China, to Hongkong, with cargo, the said Junk had been dismasted in bad weather, and that he wanted to know what I would charge to send a steamer, to go in search of her down the West Coast, and tow her up to Hongkong. That I agreed with the said Oo Tye to charter my said steamer Prince Albert to his friend, to go in search of the said Junk, for the sum of Six Hundred Dollars, which sum was to be paid to me whether the said steamer succeeded in finding the said Junk or not. That it was further agreed between us that should the steamer succeed in finding the said Junk, a further sum should be paid for towing her up to Hongkong, the amount whereof should be settled between the Captain of my said steamer, and the person to be sent down in the said steamer on behalf of the Charterer, according to the size of the Junk, which was unknown to me, and the distance from Hongkong at which she was found. That my said steamer being laid up I had to procure a master for her, which I did, and on the morning of the 22nd day of March last, I took the said master to the office of the Colonial Secretary of the said Colony, and had his name placed on the Register of the said steamer as master. That the said master then applied to the Harbour Master of the said Colony for a Port Clearance to go out and search for a Junk to tow to Hongkong, and that such Port Clearance being granted, the said steamer left to search for the said Junk with a person on board sent by the Charterer to identify the said Junk when found. That I placed neither Cargo nor Merchandize on board the said steamer, nor was such placed on board of her to my knowledge, and that the said steamer was not dispatched for the purpose of trading at any Port or Place on the Coast of China, but solely and absolutely for the purpose of searching for, picking up, and towing the said Junk to Hongkong, and that I am informed by the master of the said steamer that he only went into the place where the steamer was found to make enquiries for the said Junk, and landed the said person sent down by the Charterer to make enquiries from the native craft as to whether the dismasted Junk had been met with or seen by any of them, and only went in and anchored there, while waiting his return, because where he was lying outside the port there were very heavily armed craft, and he had only 6 men besides firemen on board, with only a few muskets, and no ...\n\nSIR,\n\nNOTICE FROM THE CUSTOMS.\n\nOFFICE OF MARITIME CUSTOM,\n\nCANTON, 5th April, 1866.\n\nHis Excellency the Superintendent of Customs has requested me to inform you that the steamer Prince Albert has been seized, because she unlawfully entered the port of Shuey Tung, and that the said steamer will be confiscated unless before noon on the 11th instant, being the sixth day from the date of the delivery of this notice, the Superintendent of Customs receives from the British Consul an official application to have the case fully investigated.\n\nTo the Owner of the Steamer Prince Albert.\n\nI have the honor to be Sir,\n\nYour Obedient Servant,\n\n(Signed)\n\nGEO.

The existing feeling on the subject would probably be stronger, if it was known how very ungraciously the steps at last taken in behalf of Kwok A Shing were communicated to me by Sir Rutherford, who in doing so accused the Governor of having acted on the information of an informer instead of on that communicated to him by Her Majesty's Minister, though, as shown in my Despatch No. 32 of 8th July 1867, no such appeal was possible. Whilst he described the mitigation of the forfeiture to a fine as having been urged merely in deference to my strongly expressed wishes. This seems to show that although it was right to obtain that mitigation, for otherwise I cannot think he would have sought it, it was nevertheless reluctantly asked by Sir Rutherford, who might surely have been expected to originate and take the lead in such a proceeding if it was justificable at all.\n\n17. I can only hope that, now that these many complications may somehow result in preventing Her Majesty's Government from obtaining complete justice for Kwok A Shing, as is too probable, they may at least result in Sir Rutherford's observing greater caution in future, and abstaining from publicly undertaking what has so much the appearance of an Advocate's part.\n\n \n18", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-124 - Sir MacDonnell - 1867 [8-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 270838, "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": "CO129-124 - Sir MacDonnell - 1867 [8-9]", "page_number": 247, "title": "CO129-124 - Sir MacDonnell - 1867 [8-9]", "content_text": "(3)\n\n(2)\n\nI communicated yesterday with Mr. Kwok a'Cheong, by the steamer for Hong-kong, which passed the Prince Albert as she was on her way to Canton, and notified him of the seizure.\n\n(Signed) JOHN GÓDSIL.\n\nSworn at Canton this Thirtieth day of March, 1866, before me\n\n(Signed) WM.

MAY, Esq.**\n#### ILLEGAL DETENTION OF TWO COOLIES\n\nA case of some interest came before the above magistrate to-day.\n\nIt appears that the French ship Marie Therese is now loading emigrants for Guiana, and that two men, named Chung-ahee and Chung-asum, were induced to go on board the said Marie Therese by the false representations made to them by one Wong-alung.\n\nThe evidence of the two complainants was important. Chung-ahee said he was walking in the Queen's road on the 9th instant, together with his friend Chung-a-sung, and that Wong-a-lung came up to them, and after some conversation asked them how they would like to go on board ship and work in the harbour; they agreed to go to work, and Wong-a-lung gave them a paper, which he (Wong-a-lung) said the officer on board would require: they went on board, but were not required to work. Wishing to return to the shore, they applied to Lai-a-soo, the interpreter on board, but were told to wait and speak to the \"master\" when he came on board. The mother of witness came off to see him on the 15th inst., but was not admitted on board. Afterwards he was let go, when the police officers came on board. Chung-a-sung gave almost similar evidence, saying that he went on board to work in the harbour, and not to go to a foreign country. The paper given to these men by Wong-a-lung was as follows: \"I have agreed to go to the Dutch Guiana for the same purposes as mentioned in an agreement, as per translation.\" Then followed a translation in Chinese. Chung-a-sung said neither he nor his companion could read either the English or Chinese of the paper, and they were both ignorant of its real contents.\n\nWee-leen-tai, the mother of Chung-a-hee, and aunt of Chung-a-sung, said she heard her son was being detained on board the Marie Therese, and accordingly went off to see them on the 13th instant; but on arriving alongside the vessel she was warned off; she nevertheless managed to speak to her son from the boat she was in. On returning to the shore she went and obtained officers, and delivered her son and nephew on the 15th instant.\n\nThe prisoner, whose name is Lai-a-soo, stated he saw the men come on board; they gave a paper the same as the other emigrants did who came to the ship. He recollected their asking to go ashore, but he had no authority or power whatsoever to let them go. The complainants had an opportunity of speaking to Mr. Styles, the Dutch Emigration Agent here, when he came on board, but they did not do so.\n\nMr. May said he would make no remarks at the present stage of the case; it was most important that Wong-a-lung should be brought up, as he was evidently the man who had induced the men to go on board.\n\nThe case is therefore remanded for a week, when it is to be hoped that the Inspector in charge of the case will produce Wong-a-lung, who, we understand, is hiding at present.\n\n### Police Intelligence, March 20th\n**BEFORE C. MAY, Esq.**\n#### COOLIE MUTINY ON BOARD THE \"MARIE THERESE\"\n\nThis case was again brought forward to-day, to endeavour to fix the assault on some particular one or two of the prisoners.\n\nMr. Caldwell appeared for the prosecution. Ka-a-hing said he was employed by Mr. Baak to procure emigrants, and he was paid $9 for every emigrant he put on board a ship, but he has to pay for their provisions during the time the vessel might be in harbour.\n\nMr. Caldwell here said Mr. Baak would like to make a statement; the witness was not employed by Mr. Baak as he had said.\n\nKa-a-hing said he was employed by Wai-shing, who is employed by Mr. Baak; he was paid by Wai-shing; he had nothing to do with Mr. Baak. He could not identify any of the prisoners as having been procured by him; he used generally to post papers on the walls at West Point, to say that a vessel was going to take emigrants; he believed Mr. Baak had other agents.\n\nMr. Caldwell explained that there was a shop at West Point called Man-fook-wah, where the coolies came to engage themselves; the Wai-shing shop had nothing to do with this matter.\n\nKa-a-hing continued: there were fourteen or more men stopping at the Man-fook-wah; they were mostly agents to get emigrants; they all stopped at the house; the whole fourteen are in partnership, and share the bounty which is received for procuring the emigrants.\n\n| Question | Answer |\n| --- | --- |\n| How many men were required to procure the coolies? | Fourteen |\n| What were their roles? | Some looked after the books, some attended to the provisions, and some were friends given shares for friendship's sake |\n\nMr. May asked how it was that it required so many as fourteen men to procure the coolies, if they all stopped in the same house?\n\nKa-a-hing said some of the men looked after the books, some attended to the provisions, and some were friends, who were given shares in the affair for friendship's sake. He got for his share about $3 a month; all men actively engaged in the Coon get $3 a month extra. There are eight men actively engaged in the Coon, and six in the country, looking for coolies. The head man's name in the Coon was Lee-a-fook. The whole of the fourteen are employed by the A-shing shop. Sometimes it is a losing business, on account of the ship waiting a long time, and the fourteen partners having a good deal to spend for provisions. Circulars are sent to the villages, and they induce the coolies to come down from their native villages. He recognised the prisoners as having all passed through the Coon. On Monday, Mr. Bank, the master of the A-shing shop, and himself went on board the Marie Therese, hearing there was a disturbance going on on board.\n\nMr. Caldwell said no emigrant could go on board without a sort of short permit from the Coon.\n\nKa-a-hing, further examined, said: When the coolies came to the Coon they were shown a paper of agreement, stating how much the coolies would get if they went to Holland and how many years they would have to go for.

It is proposed to build a new or lower Canal between the Canal and the Piers of the Shing Wong Bridges built in 1844. By this arrangement 2 or 3 feet of fresh water will be always in the Canal above this bridge presenting rather an ornamental appearance than otherwise and the accumulations of Silt will be entirely done away with above the new bridge. I propose dredging out the Canal for depth of the water to be available for re-storing, the sand which will accumulate below the Dam must be dredged out periodically.

I apprehend that however obsolete it is still more rare in these days that the question of Libel or no Libel should be decided by a Judge or by a Jury.\n\nInstead, I have arrived, in which that form is abandoned in amation. In several respects and in particular addressing myself to what has been called the sting of the Libel, there is not a word which could convey to the mind of anyone a notion that any portion of the £2,000 alleged to have found its way to Lisbon had reached the hands of Senhor Ameral as a bribe or money gift to him. The tenor of the whole is indeed that his gratitude towards, his zeal for, his constituents, not any money bribe, had incited him, and that that money was used, not to stimulate his zeal, but to further and aid his efforts as well. Money is used, it may be lawfully, it may be illegally, to carry elections or political measures or railway or canal undertakings in England.\n\nAgain, at the end of the alleged Libel, in what is called the second count, occurs this innuendo (\"meaning as before alleged of and concerning the Bull. and Leake 2 edit. of 1862 is not still false malicious and defamatory libel firstly hereinbefore set forth\"), words which import all the innuendoes or it may be only the last. Mr. Bayllar, for the Defendant, ridiculed the dissection of his plea by Mr. Pollard and submitted that taken as a whole it was a full answer to the information, which he contended consisted in form and in substance of one count only.\n\nBut he was less careful to sustain his own plea than to attack the information, which he insisted was bad, for that, taken by themselves, the two articles were simply fair comment on the public conduct of public men in reference to matters of the greatest public interest, and still more by reason that the meaning put on the libel by the innuendoes was such as the language would not and could not bear, and consequently that I must decide against it.\n\nI must say, I strongly incline to think that both counts of the information (if indeed they are so framed as to be two counts, as to which I give no opinion) are bad, and the Attorney General is bound by the meaning he puts on the alleged libel by the innuendoes now; to use the words of the Chief Justice Tindal, it is a clear rule of law that an innuendo cannot introduce a meaning broader than that which the words naturally bear, unless connected with proper introductory averments.\n\nThe well-known case of Rex v. Haurkey, 8 East 427, is the best illustration of this rule. Alexander v. Angle in Error 1, Crompton & Jervis 143 and see 5 East 467-469. I incline to think that the innuendocs here do throughout introduce meanings broader than the words bear.\n\nIt is unnecessary for me to consider whether any averments could have cured this defect.\n\nIt seems to me that the parties have been perplexed by rules of pleading, the Acting Attorney General in reference to his innuendoes and the Defendant as to the particularity of his plea, and especially by Bremridge v. Latimer and days have been wasted in argument when any common sense procedure could and would have easily defined—nobody doubted the real issue between the parties with certainty and precision.\n\nThe English pleading procedure has been abandoned everywhere under British Rule in Asia except in this Colony. In India, another system prevails, and for the Consular Courts of China and Japan, the Foreign Office has wisely prescribed a system of admirable rules as to procedure which simplifies the preliminary process.\n\nIt seems to me that the words of the alleged libel are incapable of the meaning ascribed to them in the innuendoes in the information.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-137 - Sir MacDonnell - 1869 [4-5].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 278275, "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": "CO129-137 - Sir MacDonnell - 1869 [4-5]", "page_number": 288, "title": "CO129-137 - Sir MacDonnell - 1869 [4-5]", "content_text": "284\n\nLegislation, and it is a\n\ngerm\n\nwhich\n\nI trust will not flourish until the\n\nChinese System of Kap, abandoned by\n\nus 10 years ago, supersedes\n\nour\n\nEnglish\n\nSystem\n\nnow well established in the\n\nColony and most ably and successfully\n\nworked by the Registration Department\n\nSigned) Julian Pouchelle, Attorney General\n\nHong Kong 21st April, 1869.\n\nTrue Copy\n\nGordon Martin\n\nC.\n\nColonial Secretary\n\n溟诚德恒慕\n\n威信和隆\n\nSz Shing Tak Hang Tai Kat String Sum Wo Fung Cheung Chung\n\n\"The above Chinese Characters are the names\n\nof Six establishments in the Kwang Tung Province for the carrying on of a species of gambling Known As\n\n\"Mai-Sing\".

Lord Geo. Gorton, 1787; Rex v. Vint, 1501; Rex v. Peltier, temp. Napolcom First.--Those which are truly and properly \"the Sovereign's own suits\" and are filed by his own immediate officer, the Attorney General. The objects of this kind of information are properly such enormous misdemeanours as peculiarly tend to disturb or endanger the Government. There are but few instances of this kind of process among which may be mentioned the information (by command of Crown) for a libel against the French Ambassador (Rex v. D'Eon, in the year 1764, and the other cases cited in the margin.)\n\nLiberty, c.23 The last-mentioned prosecutions were probably not initiated by information, for it appears from private enquiries made at the Crown Office in London that no ex officio information for defamatory libel has been filed since the passing of Lord Campbell's Act (24th August, 1843). See also the note to Mills' Essay on the 12th chapter of Cooke on Defamation, which is devoted to this subject.\n\nSecondly--Informations in which though the Crown is the nominal prosecutor, yet it is at the relation of some private person and they are filed by the Attorney General Queen's Coroner and Attorney in the Queen's Bench usually called the \"Master of the Crown Office,\" who is for this purpose the standing officer of the public.\n\nIt is contended by some persons that this latter kind of remedy so common in England in cases of libel and generally known as a \"Criminal Information for Libel\" cannot be resorted to in this Colony, because no \"Master of the Crown Office\" has been eo nomine designated by the Ordinance or appointed by the Governor; but it appears to me that inasmuch as the office of the Supreme Court is the \"Crown Office\" of the Colony, its chief officer, the Registrar, may by implication and analogy discharge the functions of \"Master of the Crown Office.\"\n\nThe Supreme Court itself acted upon this impression in 1859, when a rule absolute for a criminal information for libel against Mr. TARRANT, the Editor of the Friend of China, was obtained, and the information was in the form of information by the Master of the Crown Office in England, and was filed and signed by the Registrar. The records of the Court show also that in the same year a rule nisi for a criminal information for libel against another Newspaper Editor, Mr. MURROW (of the Daily Press), was obtained, though it was subsequently abandoned.\n\nN.B.--The Defendant apologized.\n\nbeen dealt with under Ordinance No. 3 of 1865 (see Sections relating to private prosecutors.)\n\nThis being then the state of the Law in the Colony, as I view it, it was competent to the Macao Authorities either to apply to the Supreme Court for a rule for a criminal information against Mr. SAINT, or at all events to prosecute the Defendant under the provisions of Ordinance No. 3 of 1865; but instead of so doing they procured informations to be filed not in the statutory form provided by Ordinance No. 3 of 1865, but in the ancient form of \"ex officio informations by the Attorney General,\" the gist of the offence as laid in them being that the libels complained of tend to create discord between Great Britain and Portugal. The following complication, therefore, arises, that while the proceedings are thus clothed with the form and character of State prosecutions, they have not been instituted by command of the Crown (as might be supposed where it is suggested that the peace and safety of the Realm are menaced) but at the relation of third parties, whose object is to redress a private wrong and who have been allowed to be represented by their own Attorney and Counsel in the \"Sovereign's own suit.\" This is quite irregular for as Lord Mansfield says in the case of Rex v. D'Eon (1 Wm. Blackstone, 514) \"Informations ex officio are personally the King's prosecutions. No man is there to be considered in the light of a promoter or private prosecutor.\" There is a further irregularity in this respect that, according to my opinion, such an information as the one in question, on the principle laid down in the case cited in the margin, does not come within the operation of Lord Campbell's Act, and that the Defendant cannot legally plead a justification and recover his costs if successful, but it appears that the Macao Government, through their Counsel and with the sanction of the Court, have consented to a plea of justification being filed in answer to this information, and they have also given guarantees for the payment of costs if defeated, a state of things which, though highly creditable to the Macao Government as manifesting their sense of justice and fair play, is nevertheless quite incompatible with the nature of the proceeding instituted, and touches the constitutional rights of the Crown.\n\nCa. p. 42. Rex v. Duffy, 2 Cox. Cr. Cas. a extended to this Colony by Ordinance No. 3 of 1865, only to private prosecutions.\n\nNo. 2 of 1865.\n\nThe ordinary form of information under the Ordinance may be seen by reference to Section 5, and I transmit herewith a copy of the ex officio information filed against Mr. SAINT, and also a copy of the information in 1859 against Mr. TARRANT by the Registrar as Master of the Crown Office.\n\nN.B.--The Attorney General may put off the trial of an ex officio information for 12 months.\n\nGovernor Da Ponte e Horta.\n\nC. S. O. No. 280.\n\nThe information was filed on the 1st of May last; the pleas were put in on the 11th of July, and after a long delay insisted on by the prosecution and of which the Defendant complains as harassing, a demurrer to the plea of justification was filed on the 14th of December.\n\nConsiderable expense has been already incurred on both sides, and a de bene esse examination has been held of the late Governor of Macao, who has now returned to Europe.\n\nI have used my utmost endeavours to bring about an amicable settlement of the whole affair, but I regret to say that my efforts have been unsuccessful, and I am now compelled to take some definite step and either with the permission of the Governor to enter a nolle prosequi, or follow such other course as His Excellency may think desirable.\n\nI have the honor to be,\n\nSir,\n\nYour most obedient Servant,\n\nJULIAN PAUNCEFOTE,\n\nAttorney General.\n\n## Minute of His Excellency the Governor on the above Letter.\n\nI reserve my decision individually till Mr. PAUNCEFOTE gives his advice in his capacity of Member of Executive Council, and as it will no doubt in such a case have special influence with the Members, I think this paper had better go to him first.\n\n20th January, 1869.\n\n## Minute of the Attorney General.\n\nR. G. M. D.\n\nI am inclined to think that this question should, if possible, be settled in a way which would give fair play to both sides without compromising the rights of the Crown. The difficulty is one of form--for in the proceeding instituted by the Acting Attorney General, the prosecution must be by the Crown alone and cannot be at the relation of a third party;--no plea of justification should be allowed as of right, and no costs should be given or taken. This, however, is a harsh mode of dealing with the Defendant and would no doubt have been discountenanced by the Government if they had been consulted in the beginning. In order to mitigate this procedure, the Acting Attorney General consented to a plea of justification and obtained from the Macao Authorities an indemnity as to costs which he seems to have assumed would be payable by the Crown, under Section 3 of Ordinance No. 4 of 1857 in case the prosecution failed. The Defendant was thus placed in the same position practically as if a criminal information by the Master of the Crown Office had been filed.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-144 - Sir MacDonnell & Lieut Governor Whitfield - 1870 [3-5].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 281963, "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": "CO129-145 - Lieut Governor Whitfield - 1870 [6-9]", "page_number": 90, "title": "CO129-145 - Lieut Governor Whitfield - 1870 [6-9]", "content_text": "## Memorandum of Sums Paid for Rescue of the Crews of H.M's Gunboat Slaney and British Ship \"Caractacus\" from the Paracel Islands\n\nTo the Colonial Secretary, Hong Kong, 23rd June 1870\n\nThe following sums have been paid:\n\n| Payee | Service Rendered | Amount |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Littwai Shing | Services rendered in saving a boat's crew of the Gunboat Slaney and British Ship \"Caractacus\" | $300 |\n| Chun Sai Ping & Au Mat Li | Bringing to this Port the survivors of the Gunboat Slaney and the British ship \"Caractacus\" | $380 |\n| Cagit Cove, Malay, late of \"Caractacus\" | Repayment of the sum advanced for the passage of the crews of Slaney and Caractacus from the Paracels to Macao | $13.9 |\n| The Government of Macao | Expenses incurred there by the Mate and 3 Sailors of Caractacus and 1 Chinese of H.M's Gunboat Slaney | $1,320 |\n\nTotal: $2,013.9\n\nJ.

Sheik Akbar, ink stand, by a friend of the school.\n\nNumber who sat at examination, 316.\n\nHis Excellency the Governor said: It is a whole year since I had the pleasure of addressing you. A great many of you I am afraid won't understand what I say, but speaking to those who can I have only to congratulate you on the coming round of another year, for your attendance; and I hope that the year past has been very profitable to yourselves, and that it will have been a satisfaction to your parents.\n\nDuring the last year an important change has taken place both in this and other schools, by the Government paying for results instead of giving grants. The Council of the Colony has hitherto been very liberal, and I am certain that they would be inclined to be still more liberal if they found that the new system works well. You all know pretty well, at least those of you who can speak English will understand what paying for results means. It means paying for work done.\n\nAll of you, I am sure, know very well that shams are very bad things, and a sham school is, I think, in the eyes of all thinking people, the very worst of bad things. It wastes valuable time that never can be recalled; it leads parents to suppose their children are being educated and taught, when they are not being taught at all; it leads the children themselves into habits of idleness, and leads them to suppose that simply sitting for a certain number of hours without applying their minds to what they have got to do is either profitable or creditable; that wretched delusion, that sham is not dispelled unfortunately till after life, then they find out, and then they regret the time that has been wasted; and I think likewise that they have some right to blame those who allow such a faulty system to be maintained for a single day.\n\nI myself am very unwilling to make any change in the schools. I am not fond of pulling things up, like the boys do the flowers in the garden, to see whether they are growing, but I wish to see what this school and the other schools are doing, and, according to the best information I can get, I am led to suppose that the system of paying by results is the best, that it has answered well elsewhere, and I consider it will answer equally well here, and believe that it has been so far, and will continue to be, faithfully carried on.\n\nThe reports I get of the school are very satisfactory; and everybody, and every scholar of whatever denomination, gets fair play and a fair chance. The new system is not only advantageous to the boys, but is a great encouragement to the masters. On the old system the masters were simply to receive their stipend, and not to receive any very great credit for the proficiency their boys made, and this afforded very little inducement and very little encouragement to them to bestow their time and energy on the work they had taken in hand.\n\nThe present system removes that difficulty, and I hope and believe that the schools in the Colony will profit immensely by the system. I think it will not be distasteful to any, but that it will be beneficial to all. To the boys themselves it will be satisfactory to know what classes they are in. It will be satisfactory to know what progress they have made, and that, in itself, is a great inducement.\n\nEvery boy knows pretty well the extent of the capacity of the one who sits next him. You are all very good judges of each other, and with the system of paying by results you know who is who, and are able to discriminate between those who have been industrious and those who have been idle. This is a great matter. The prizes in actual life do not always fall to men strictly according to merit, but when boys know that they get into a higher class, that their merits are discriminated and pointed out to their fellows, there is among all boys, as among all men, something to induce them to rise to distinction and deserve it.\n\nI have not much to say on the subject of conduct. I have heard no complaints, and believe the conduct of the boys generally is very good. It cannot be but a great satisfaction to myself, and the Council of the Colony who find the funds for maintaining the school, that we have apparently gained the goodwill and the confidence of the Chinese portion of the population. They are here treated with great impartiality; and what we are endeavouring to do is not only to teach them but to set them an example of tolerance and forbearance, and to show them that we have no desire to interfere with their consciences in any way.\n\nWe simply offer them a useful, practical education, which they will all find, and I am happy to believe which many have found, of great use and to their advantage. I believe that if we had room, and if the means of the Colony would afford it, we could get a great many more. It is quite impossible to please all parties; it is impossible to please every denomination of religion; to attempt to do so is a hopeless matter. It has been tried in many places I know of. I have seen it tried, and have tried it myself, and it always resulted in signal failure.\n\nWhat boys learn here will induce them not to stop at that but go farther and enquire for themselves. When boys can read, and judge for themselves, and discriminate, I think it is sufficient time to enter upon difficult and abstruse subjects; and I am not prepared to think that children derive any good from receiving mental food which they are incapable of digesting. I believe you get all here that is good for you. Possibly I might wish you to get more than you do get but I don't see my way to that, and I am quite content to leave things as they are, and to let well alone.\n\nI hope you will all remember that it is to the British Government you are indebted for the liberty and the blessings you enjoy, and for the freedom of conscience which you all have, and which your parents desire you to exercise. We have no desire whatever to interfere with that. We wish to teach you as much as you please to learn, and for the rest you must educate yourselves. You are instructed here, your education must be finished elsewhere, or by yourselves.\n\nI have now to wish you a very happy holiday, and I hope you will return to your work with that attention, steadiness and desire to improve which I understand you have manifested during the past year.

There are a large number of Portuguese residents, whose children are attendants at the schools, and the children of several other respectable Europeans also are sent there, as the best means of providing them with a sound education. In this latter respect the schools are likely to be of increasing utility, as there are many married people, to whom it would be a great burden to have to send their children home to school, and who can now secure them a sound general education in the Colony.\n\nLooked at in every light, the Government Schools are an institution of which the Colony may be justly proud, and we have great pleasure in congratulating the Superintendent of Schools and those under him, on the success which has attended their efforts. This success, it is also right to acknowledge, is due in no small degree to the sound views entertained by H.E. the Governor, and the support which he has given both by his influence and his advocacy, to a system of undenominational schools by which the advantages of education are thrown open to all.\n\n## THE HONG KONG TIMES\n\n### HONG KONG, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1874\n\n## GOVERNMENT CENTRAL SCHOOL EXAMINATION\n\nThe scholars attending the Government Central School Hong Kong, underwent a public examination yesterday (Tuesday) morning; His Excellency the Governor (Sir Arthur Kennedy, K.C.M.G., C.B.) subsequently distributing the prizes to the successful competitors. The scholars were divided into two classes, and in the presence of the public were examined in reading, arithmetic, geography, etc. This examination occupied about an hour, and showed the pupils to be well acquainted with the few subjects touched upon.\n\nIt should, however, be stated that this was not the examination on which the prizes were awarded, that a far more comprehensive and exhaustive test was being conducted by means of papers some time since. At the distribution of prizes, which took place in the large room, there were present His Excellency the Governor (accompanied by his Aide-de-camp, Capt. O'Callaghan), the Hon. J. G. Austin, the Hon. C. C. Smith, Hon. P. Ryrie, Rev. Mr. Piton, Mr. Frederick Stewart, M.A. (Head Master and Inspector of Schools), Mr. E. J. R. Willcocks (Central School), A. Falconer (Central School), and Messrs. Guttierez, Romano, Nelson, and several ladies.\n\nThe boys who had gained prizes were called up before His Excellency the Governor, who enquired of them the time they had been at school, and other matters. In handing over the rewards of their success, he pointed out the interest and utility of the studies they were engaged in, complimented the boys upon their success, and expressed the pleasure he felt in taking part in the day's proceedings. In presenting the \"Punctuality Prize,\" His Excellency remarked that it was not given to everyone to be clever; but every boy might be regular and punctual in attendance and well-behaved. The lad who had gained the prize had set an example which he hoped would be followed by the whole school.

I am afraid that many of you will not be able to understand much of what I am going to say to you. In the first place I wish to congratulate you upon your attendance during the past year. I trust that the year has been profitable to yourselves, and satisfactory to your parents. During the past year an important change has taken place, affecting both this and other schools. That change is, the paying for results instead of giving grants. The Council of the Colony has hitherto been very liberal, but I am satisfied they will be inclined to be even more liberal, if they find the system works well. Now you all know—or at least those of you who can pretty well understand English—what payment for results means; it is in fact paying for work done. You all know very well that shams are very bad things; but a sham school is, I think, in the eyes of all thinking people the very worst of all things. It wastes valuable time that can never be recalled.

The classes assembled about ten o'clock as usual, for the purposes of being examined by any visitor who might choose to do so; but, as was the case last year, only a very few availed themselves of the opportunity of testing the proficiency of the boys in any of their studies. We saw several of the classes examined, and the pupils all acquitted themselves very satisfactorily. We do not know how it is that so little practical interest seems to be taken by the residents of Hongkong in an institution like the Central School. The boys are there to be examined by anyone who wishes to do so, and that only one or two should go there year after year for this purpose is neither creditable to the community, nor encouraging to Mr. Stewart and his assistants. If the same facility be afforded on the next occasion, about which there is some doubt, we hope it will be taken advantage of.\n\nAt noon, H.E. the Governor and Capt. O'Callaghan arrived. The classes were then filed into the Lecture Hall, or at least as many of the classes as it could accommodate; and when we say that the fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth had to remain in their own rooms, and that barely half the number of boys in attendance could be present when the prizes were distributed, we think we have said enough to show that the Government ought to provide adequate school accommodation, and set about doing so at once.\n\nAmong the visitors present, besides a number of ladies, were Hon. J. G. Austin, Hon. C. C. Smith, Hon. P. Ryrie, Hon. J. Bramston, Captain Deane, Mr. Tonnochy, Mr. Russell, Rev. Dr. Eitel, Rev. J. O. Edge, Rev. Lechler, &c. His Excellency then distributed the various prizes, with a few kindly and encouraging words to each of the successful scholars.\n\nThe list is as follows:-\n\n### ENGLISH CLASSES\n\n#### SPECIAL PRIZES\n\n* Best Scholar - Lau A...; Morrison Scholarship; Translation - Fang Ashüi, watch, by Hon.

There are actually in school this day 325, and the total that ought to be here, but are prevented by sickness and other causes, is 355. That I think is really a very large number of boys to be educated in one school; and to show the advantages which they derive from it, it appears that during the past year 165 boys have left the school. Some of these are engaged in various Government and mercantile offices in Hongkong, others have entered the Chinese Customs service, while many have been engaged by Chinese firms, or obtained situations and gone to other countries.\n\nThis fact ought to show all the boys present the very great benefits which have been and are continually derived from attendance at the school. None of those boys I have referred to would probably have been able to obtain situations or enter any of these employments but for the efficient training they have had here. I am very sure that all those who have left the school even now are thankful that early in life they began to appreciate the very great benefits to be derived from their attendance here. This fact ought to encourage those who are now here, and I am sure that in after years they will feel grateful for the great attention bestowed upon them.\n\nI would beg all the boys here not to judge of the interest—the very deep interest that I take in the welfare of the school in any measure by the number of visits I make to it. I am content to leave well alone. I know that all your masters do their duty, I have entire confidence in the discretion of your able Superintendent, and therefore I meddle with it as little as possible. But I know by results, by common report, and from those who are capable of forming an opinion, that the school is making very respectable progress.\n\nThere is one matter which has been mentioned to me by persons whose opinion I respect. It is a matter which I am unwilling to touch upon, but I have been asked to say something to clear up the misunderstandings that I believe are abroad—not very widely I am happy to say—on the subject of the absence of religious instruction at this school. I think it must appear to anybody of common sense, with the great number of nationalities that we have represented here, that it would be impossible to carry out such a thing with any good results. I can say for myself, and I think I may say the same for the Superintendent here, Mr. Stewart, although I have not consulted with him on the subject, that it is a great error to suppose that we are in any way opposed to religious instruction by itself.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-170 - Sir Kennedy - 1875 [1-3] -- Acting Governor Austin - 1875 [3-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 295649, "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": "CO129-170 - Sir Kennedy - 1875 [1-3] -- Acting Governor Austin - 1875 [3-6]", "page_number": 111, "title": "CO129-170 - Sir Kennedy - 1875 [1-3] -- Acting Governor Austin - 1875 [3-6]", "content_text": "24 \n\nhis real name) \n\nAVAD Chow-poon-shan.

That the Registrar General promised to attend to the matter and directed that a Chinese petition should be sent in representing the facts of the case, and signed by Chun Shun. That on the 22nd day of February, the said Chun Shun, together with Low Ahoi, and Sin Chat, his partners in the late Tak Wo shop, brought a petition to the deponent, who forwarded it on to the Registrar General.\n\nThe following is a translation of the petition :-\n\nThe humble petition of Chun Shun, Low A Hoi and Sin Chat, sheweth that your petitioners are now residing in Hongkong, and have been there 13, 22 and 12 years respectively.\n\nThat in 1871 and 1872 your petitioners were interested in the Tak Wo mat shop, situated in Queen's Road, Hongkong.\n\nThat the Tak Wo shop had four transactions with the German firm of Vogel, Hagedorn & Co., Hongkong, regarding matting. That altogether there were 4029 rolls of matting placed in the hands of Vogel, Hagedorn & Co. for transmission to America.\n\nThat your petitioners drew from Vogel Hagedorn about $12,000 on account of the said shipments inclusive of 6 per cent to cover insurance and commission.\n\nThat the compradore of the said Vogel, Hagedorn & Co. told Chun Shun one of your petitioners, in September, 1878, that the matting had been sold at a good price, and that there would be about $3,000 due to your petitioners when account sales were rendered.\n\nThat no account sales have been rendered to your petitioners, and that about the beginning of 1874 your petitioners heard that Vogel had gone to Canton in order to enforce a claim against your petitioners.\n\nYuen Wo alias Wong Yi Tak Tong, a holder of a fourth share in the Tak Wo firm, is a trader between Hongkong and Shanghai.\n\nIn consequence of the representation of the said Vogel to the Acting German Consul at Canton, named Freusberg, a warrant issued from the Nam Hoi Magistrate to the Magistrate at Kowkong for the arrest of your petitioners.\n\nThat on the 7th February, 1875, the Magistrate at Kowkong, accompanied by some 40 or 50 police from Nam Hoi, arrested a man named Chun Chiu alias Ping Chim, the uncle of your petitioner Chun Shun.\n\nThat the said Chun Chiu is about fifty years of age and has been employed for about the last five years in a chandler's shop at Singapore, and was only visiting his village at the time he was arrested.\n\nThat he was put in chains and taken to Canton, where he has been kept in gaol since. That the said Chun Chiu was never in any way interested in the Tak Wo shop.\n\nThat the younger brother of your petitioner, Low Aboi, was arrested at Hoi Shan, but succeeded in getting away after bribing the officials sent to arrest him.\n\nThat Vogel, Hagedorn & Co. never lent any money to your petitioners, but only advanced money on shipments as mentioned. As all your petitioners are residing in Hongkong, and are willing to answer any just claim of Vogel, Hagedorn & Co.'s, they pray that you will represent these facts to the Viceroy of Canton and get the uncle of the said Chun Shun released.\n\n(Signed) by CHUN SHUN. \nLOW AHoi \nLIN CHAO.\n\nThe Registrar General, in reply to that petition, informed the deponent that a communication to H.E. the Governor of Hongkong on the subject had been made, and that a despatch had been sent to H.B.M. Consul at Canton asking him to obtain the release of Chun Chew. On or about the 13th March last, under instructions from and for Chun Shun, Mr Dennys went up to Canton and had a long interview with the German Consul on the subject of the release of Chun Chew. The Consul admitted that the man was in prison at the instance of Mr Vogel, and stated that if he could prevent it, Chun Chew should not be released until Chun Shun had discharged a debt of over $3000 which Mr Vogel claimed to be due from the Tak Wo shop. The Consul positively promised that, should Chun Shun pay the above sum, so claimed by the defendant, Chun Chew would be released. On the 10th April, 1875, Mr Dennys went up to Canton, and on the 11th saw Chun Chew in the King Sin Tong Gaol at Canton. This was a gaol for criminals. The plaintiff was confined in a horribly dirty cell without any bed, and in company with thieves and other malefactors, and he said that since he had been arrested he had been kept in chains a part of the time, and was treated as a criminal and not as a prisoner for debt. That he had a bad cough and suffered greatly from cold while in gaol. He distinctly averred that he had never any dealings with Messrs Vogel, Hagedorn in his life, and was quite unaware of how accounts stood between Tak Wo and the firm; he had no connection whatever with the Tak Wo shop.\n\n## \nMr Hayllar then read the affidavits filed by Chun Shun and his partners. The purport of them was that in May 1871 a matting shop was opened under the name of Tak Wo in Queen's Road, Hongkong, the capital being subscribed in shares, one by the Sang Kee shop, one by Tak Kee, one by a man Sin Chat and one by a man Wong Yuen Wo. The partners of Sang Kee were Wai Shang and Wai Fun, and those of Tak Kee, Low Aboi and Kwok Aun. Sin Chat was a cooper in the employ of Messrs David Sassoon, Sons & Co., and Wong Yuen Wo, a trader between Hongkong and Shanghai. The Sang Kee shop closed about the middle of 1873, but deponent continued to be manager as long as it existed. Low Ahoi was the manager of the Tak Wo shop and is still in the Colony. During the existence of the Tak Wo shop (closed in January 1873) matting to the value of $15,815 was placed in the defendant's firm for consignment to America for sale, and a sum of $12,010 including insurance was advanced against the consignments, leaving a balance of $3,799.18 still due to the Tak Wo firm, and a suit had been commenced for the recovery of the same.\n\nThe deponent further said that, in September 1873, he received a letter from the compradore of the defendant, and thereupon he went to see him. The compradore told him that the defendant had received an answer from America relative to the consignments, and that there was a profit of two or three thousand dollars due to the Tak Wo shop. That in May 1874 he heard that a warrant had been issued by the Chinese authorities at the instance of the defendant for deponent's arrest in Kowkong in China.\n\nIn consequence of this news, the deponent, in company with Mr Wong Shing of the London Mission House, and others, went to see the defendant's compradore; and during the interview, deponent said: \"If Tak Wo owes you money, I had a share in it; you need not go to Canton to summon me. I am living here, you can arrest me if you like. You want Chun Shun and I am here now.\" To this the compradore replied with a laugh, saying \"You have money at home and build houses there.\" \n\nThe other affidavit read was one by Mai Taz Sin, who accompanied Mr Dennys to Canton to visit Chun Chew in gaol. Chun Chew said to him that he was unlawfully detained in the gaol at the instance of the defendant, and expressed an intention of suing him for damages in the sum of $10,000.\n\n## \nMr Hayllar then addressed the Court on the law of the case. In support of the question of jurisdiction of this Court to entertain the motion, he quoted the case of **Bally**, in LR. 20.2. The right of an alien to sue for damages in an English Court for wrong done by another alien out of jurisdiction had been settled in this case. The case of **Scott v.

It should also be borne in mind that if the new school is to occupy the site of the present establishment, accommodation must be found for the latter during the eighteen months which must elapse before the new premises are fit for occupation, and that the housing, however provisional, for so large a personnel must of necessity entail a very considerable outlay. What this outlay may eventually amount to, I am unable to say, but the Government may form some estimate from the experience gained in the somewhat parallel case of the Temporary Civil Hospital. In regard to the present Central School site, I should also point out that it will not allow of the new school being built in one single block. The steep slope of the ground prevents this, and in order to keep the cost within bounds it would be necessary to have recourse to a series of two or more parallel buildings on different levels or steps, connected with each other by flights of stairs. Anything more unsatisfactory than this, for an establishment in which the inmates are constantly on the move, and who would, therefore, have to be continually going up and down stairs can scarcely be conceived. Drawing D, containing a profile of the ground, clearly shows the unfitness of such a declivity for a house site.\n\n7. Site IV. Rangel's Labyrinth and adjoining premises.--This is the block contained between Sing Wong, Aberdeen and Staunton Streets and Hollywood Road. It is shown in Drawing E coloured pink. Seven-eighths of the property belong to the estate of the late Mr. RANGEL; the remainder to Messrs. SIEMSSEN & Co., to Mr. DORARJEE, and to some Chinese. The whole makes a fine large area of 72,000 square feet, situate on a slope by no means steep and which can be levelled at a comparatively moderate cost. As regards neighbourhood, Mr. STEWART is of opinion that no better can be found in Victoria. The land and houses, which are very dilapidated, have been assessed at $50,000, but as a portion of the material contained in these old houses, is saleable, this sum may be reduced by about two or three thousand dollars. If this site happen to be selected, the expense of its purchase may be almost entirely recovered by the sale of the present school site and buildings and the Bamboo Garden adjoining, which together will realize about $40,000.\n\n8. Site V. Inland Lots Nos. 263, 764, & 698, and vacant lands adjoining.-- These are situate on Queen's Road nearly opposite to the Ko Shing Theatre. This site is perhaps the least favourable of any, and is entitled to consideration only because the larger portion of it is already Government property. Drawing B shows the Crown portion of the land coloured red, the adjacent lots Nos. 263,764 and 698 owned by private parties being coloured green. These may be bought for about $12,000. As regards situation, there is no objection, unless perhaps it be that pointed out by Mr. STEWART in the close proximity of the theatre.\n\n9. Site VI. Messrs. Augustine Heard & Co's old offices opposite the City Hall.- These, and the ground on which they stand, are for sale, and it is, I believe, acknowledged that for public reasons, the Government should, if conveniently possible, endeavour to acquire the property, but whether the latter is convertible into a Public School is a matter apart from the impolicy of allowing it to pass into other and perhaps native hands. My instructions limit me to a report upon the best site for a school independently of other considerations, and I, therefore, have to deal with this site entirely upon its merits relatively to those of the preceding. The land and buildings are worth about $20,000, though more than double this amount is, I understand, asked. The property is divided into two portions, the lower is on a level with Queen's Road and has an area of 14,475 square feet. The upper is on a level with the Cathedral and is supported by retaining walls 30 feet high. It has an area of 15,422 square feet. The main building is three stories high, its basement comprises strong rooms and servants' quarters. The first floor is divided into eleven offices, seven of which are in the interior of the building proper and four in the verandahs. The second floor consists entirely of dwelling rooms.\n\nX\n\n513\n\nThe building is generally dilapidated and its internal accommodation is such as to preclude its being turned to any use other than that for which it was originally designed. The cost of rearranging the rooms would be more than the dilapidated condition of the structure perhaps justifies. Moreover, the foundations of the main building have settled and the walls are cracked in many places. The front wall, which was taken down and rebuilt about two years ago, again shows signs of settlement, the arches and chunam floor being cracked in several places. The whole of the roof timbers and the flooring are of common China fir, and considering their age, there is reason to fear that they may require renewal at no distant date, more especially as there are traces of white ants in many places. The only material of the present structure which could be utilised in a new building would be the bricks and stone, of which a large quantity is available.\n\nAs I know it is the intention of the Governor that the new school, if built at all, shall, to the fullest extent, meet the requirements of the Public, I am, after due and careful consideration, unable to recommend to His Excellency these offices of Messrs. HEARD & Co. as they at present stand, and as it is evident that to accommodate the number of classes required by Mr. STEWART, the premises must be entirely rebuilt, I would respectfully submit that they are not entitled to the first rank among the various sites which I have here had the honour to bring under your notice. Besides the absence of a play-ground, I should point out another demerit which is the somewhat dangerous position of the building which overlooks a perpendicular precipice.\n\n10. From a sanitary and financial point of view, Site I. on Bonham Road would have been decidedly the most advantageous, but deferring to Mr. STEWART'S objection on account of its distance from town, site IV (Rangel's Property) appears to me to be the next best.\n\n11. The table appended hereto recapitulates the cost involved in the acquisition of each site, and in the levelling of the same to prepare it for the foundations of the new building.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nSir,\n\nYour obedient Servant,\n\nJ.

Among those forming the deputation were Messrs Lee Sing and Lee Tuk Cheong, members of the Wohang Firm, Leong On, Wong Shing, Ho Sik, Kwok Acheong, Wong Kwan Tong, Chun Sai Sang, and others. The address is in Chinese written in gold on a piece of white satin, about three yards long and a yard broad. It is in the shape of a Chinese picture mounted with two rollers at each end so that it might be hung or rolled up at pleasure. The upper portion of the satin is devoted to the Chinese version, and the lower portion to the English translation, written in vermilion. The lining is of red silk, and the whole piece of white satin is mounted on red ground, with fanciful embroidery at the top and sides. Altogether the address is a very handsome piece of ornament for the drawing room. The scroll when rolled up is placed in an exquisitely carved sandal-wood box, which calls forth much admiration. Besides this address, the Chinese presented His Excellency with a \"Man Man San,\" a very handsome large umbrella such as those usually seen in processions. This is also very nicely embroidered all round, and the two tassels bear an inscription of its being presented to Sir Arthur Kennedy. It would perhaps be open to question in a foreign point of view to encumber His Excellency with such a piece of furniture, but to those of our readers who know anything of the Chinese they will see that the spontaneous presentation of a \"Man Man San\" is much coveted by Chinese officials and is considered by them as the highest mark of honour which their subjects can show to them. If we are not mistaken, Sir Arthur is the first Governor of Hongkong who has ever been presented with a \"Man Man San.\" Indeed, we do not think any Governor has ever been presented an address so elaborately worked. Even when the Duke of Edinburgh was here, the address presented to him was only on parchment, notwithstanding the great demonstration made by the Chinese here for his reception.\n\nMr M. S. Tonnochy, the Acting Registrar General, was also present.\n\nAfter the members of the deputation were seated, H. E. came into the room with Mr Brassey, M. P., who had arrived in the Royal Yacht Sunbeam on his tour round the world.\n\nHis Excellency said: Before you proceed I wish you to explain to the Deputation that there is a gentleman here, a friend of mine, who is a member of the Queen's Parliament. He is travelling and he came here to see as much as he could of China, and I am quite sure he will be pleased to meet here the leading members of the Chinese community in Hongkong.\n\nMr Chun Ayin, who was deputed to read the address and to act as speaker, then rose and said:\n\nMay it please your Excellency,--We have come to pay our farewell respects to Your Excellency. The large number of us here to-day shows that our sentiment is universal and sincere. Though your government here has been short, your Excellency has endeared yourself to every section of the community by your kindness and wisdom. We have never had here a Governor who has so successfully ruled the Chinese as your Excellency, and the opportunities you have often allowed to us to approach you to represent our views on measures affecting the welfare of the Chinese have been the means of bringing about a better understanding between the Chinese and the foreigners, an understanding which we hope will be maintained by your successor.\n\nWe beg to present your Excellency with an address, which I shall have the honour to read, and wish a \"Man Man San,\" the \"Official Umbrella\" as it is called by Europeans. The true meaning, however, gives it a greater significance. It means the \"Umbrella of the People,\" and is an emblem of the kind protection they have received from the official to whom it is presented. The \"Man Man San,\" let me assure your Excellency, is the greatest sign by which the Chinese express to their officials the high esteem and regard they entertain for them.\n\nOur address is in the Chinese language, but we have prepared two versions in English, one of which, with your Excellency's permission, I shall read; a copy of the other, which expresses our sentiment more idiomatically, has been sent to your Excellency.\n\nMr Chun Ayin then read as follows:-\n\nTo His Excellency SIR ARTHUR EDWARD KENNEDY, K.C.M.G., C.B., Governor of Hongkong, &c. &c.\n\nMAY IT PLEASE YOUR EXCELLENCY,-We have the honour to ask, on behalf of the Chinese community of Hongkong, that you will accept this farewell address as a tribute to the character of your administration.\n\nAs nature cherishes and maintains all things, without distinction or partiality, so should it be the object of the governing class to consider and cherish the governed, and to take advantage of all local conditions or circumstances to benefit them, as nature takes advantage of the recurring seasons. This we have found exemplified in the very highest degree during your Excellency's tenure of office, for your kindness and protection have been extended to every class alike, realising the Divine ideal of care for all. Nor do we know where to find your equal in this parental goodness.\n\n\"It is with pride and pleasure that we review your distinguished career from the early days of your education, your entrance into the Army and service there, your transfer to the Civil branch, and your rapid promotion until you first obtained a Government. This was in Gambia, where you set an example of a sound and excellent policy. You were then transferred to Sierra Leone, and in addition to the duties of Governor discharged those of Consul-General with great ability. You then assumed the Government of Western Australia, then of Vancouver's Island, then of the West African Settlements, and finally, in 1872, you were appointed Governor of Hongkong, where you have now been four years.\n\nThe services of veteran officers like your Excellency are a vital necessity to the British Empire, and we find that you have vindicated Her Majesty's choice by your admirable conduct in the governments which have been intrusted to you. The labours of fifty years have now brought you to the conclusion of a sixth service of this kind, during which you have so governed a spot thousands of miles away from home as to win praise from all. We had hoped for a longer continuance of the privileges we have enjoyed under your impartial rule.\n\nWe regret that you are shortly to be removed, but we shall never cease to cherish and respect your memory.\n\nOn learning that your Excellency had been appointed to the Governorship of Queensland, it naturally occurred to us to inquire what we could do to perpetuate a remembrance of the good government we have witnessed. There is a unanimous public feeling that a permanent memorial of it should be kept, in compliance with which we have endeavoured to put on record our sense of your earnest sincerity in advancing the common welfare.\n\nHongkong is inhabited by a mixed population, and from this circumstance and its proximity to the Canton province, it is at all times only too likely to become a refuge for bad characters. But you have so energetically worked the deportation laws as to keep the Colony unusually free from crime and disturbance. The police has been efficient, and the magistrates have systematically enforced enactments whose object is to keep away offenders and to benefit all the respectable classes. As compared with former times, a very great improvement in order and quietness has been effected during the last few years, and this we owe to the excellent measures of your Excellency.\n\nYour intimate acquaintance with the subject of prison discipline and interest in the condition of the gaol have induced a most satisfactory state of that establishment, in spite of the number of prisoners confined there. Moreover, the Chinese community have been allowed personally to explain to you any grievances of which they might have to complain, thus realising the saying- \"The mirror of justice hung high in Tain: There was not a single wrongfully detained prisoner in Cho.\"\n\nYou have devoted much attention to education, allowing grants-in-aid to the various schools, and instituting periodical examinations according to the results of which the students are rewarded and the schools assisted.\n\nBut whilst your Excellency's good government has thus been displayed in your zeal for the redress of grievances and for the support of education, in no direction have your unselfish efforts for the benefit of all classes been more deservedly successful than in putting down the slave trade and the traffic in women. The former, from which a neighbouring colony derived great gain, could not but move your indignation; and your reports to the British Government were eventually the means of inducing that of Portugal to stop the traffic, whilst at the same time you effectually prevented its being carried on by vessels from Hongkong. The evil was got rid of, corruption gave place to purity, kidnapping came to an end. The prohibition of the nefarious sale of women and girls affords protection to those who are well disposed, and tends to the establishment of a better state of morals. The happy results of your Excellency's reforms have extended to men and women alike.\n\nWe have thus imperfectly set forth a few only of the more salient features of your policy, leaving untouched other admirable characteristics too many to detail. Our national legend preserves the names of officials whose departure awakened regret similar to that we now experience. The tory boots of one were kept by the people as a memorial of him. The likeness of another was handed down to posterity. When they quitted their posts, the sorrowing populace clung to the shafts of their carriages and threw themselves before the wheels. The nearness of Your Excellency's departure increases our desire to record your good service as permanently as if they were engraved in brass or cut in stone: May we be allowed to do this in verse?\n\nThe waves done by every shore\n\nWorld-wide his waters rise and fall\n\nSo thos, and from no niggard store,..\n\nHast toll, and care, and love for all;\n\nIn England's Jerrics now grown gray,\n\nRuling this island far away.\n\n\"Alas! thy face is set to go:\n\nFond memory sadly lingers here,\n\nThe sorrowing people only know\n\nOne hope as sweet, one chance as dear\n\nCome back, come back to us again,\n\nChange sighs to smiles, bring joy for pain,\n\nPresented by the Chinese Community of Hongkong.\n\nHongkong, February, 1877.\n\n(Literal Translation.).\n\nThis valedictory address is respectfully presented to His Excellency Sir Arthur Edward Kennedy, K.C.M.G., and C.B., Governor of Hongkong and its Dependencies, Commander-in-chief and Vice-admiral of the same, as a compliment to him on his good administration.\n\nAs it is the nature of Heaven and Earth to love all objects, so it should be the desire of Officials to love the subjects they govern, and while Heaven and Earth nourish things according to the state of the various seasons, Officials improve the condition of their subjects according to the circumstances of the places they rule. The benign influence of His Excellency's overspreading protection is as exalted as Heaven, and his kind-heartedness extends to all foreigners and Chinese alike, thus carrying out God's will of universal protection.

I took up the bundle of clothes off the deceased's head and turned her on her back, and there were no signs of life apparent. The other woman was bleeding from the face, and her face and neck were covered with blood. She was moving as if in great pain. I sent for the ambulances at once, and by this time the whole street was aroused. Dr. GOMES lives close by and he came to the place. I asked him to look at the deceased and he did so and said she was dead. When the ambulances came, I removed the women to the Civil Hospital.\n\nThe deceased was called A-Su, I believe. I cannot find out anything more about her than that she has been in the house two or three days.\n\nThe woman who is now in Hospital is called TAI-YAU, and was fined in November last for keeping an unlicensed brothel.\n\nThe woman whom I took to the Station is called LAU-A-YEE. She rents the upper floor. The deceased is a servant-woman in the house.\n\nThere were two women besides the three referred to in the house. They are servant-women. They are here now.\n\nLAU-A-YEE is in custody charged before the Magistrate as the keeper of an unlicensed brothel, and the case is postponed till the 19th.\n\nWhen I went up the stairs and climbed over the folding doors, I did not call out \"Police.\" I have been on the roof of many Chinese houses since I became Inspector of Brothels. I have never seen any roof, but that of 42 and that of 44, which had not a protection wall round the smoke-hole or area. I only saw one man in the house, the one who opened the trap door. His name is NG-A-KAN. He is the informer and was one of the men who got the notes to get evidence. I only knew from the informer that women had run up and I wanted to secure them.\n\nI had no knowledge of the existence of such a hole being unprotected. I believe the women did not know of the existence of the hole and simply ran there in their endeavours to escape.\n\nBoth Inspector WHITEHEAD and myself had suspicions on the house No. 9, Lyndhurst Terrace, for months. We had no suspicions on No. 42, Peel Street, until last night at midnight. I was then told something by the Interpreter and in consequence went.\n\nOur instructions to the Interpreter last night were to send to a house No. 258, Queen's Road Central, and if the informers could not gain admission, then to try and find some other place. We did not give any special instructions to go to No. 9, Lyndhurst Terrace, last night.\n\nJonx LEE.\n\nNG-A-KAN declared, states:-I am a carpenter living at D'Aguilar Street. I am a friend of CHENG-A-YU, the Interpreter to the Inspector of Brothels. He gave me seven dollars yesterday about 6 o'clock. He told me that the Inspectors wanted to get some cases and told me to make inquiry about unlicensed brothels. I went with a friend surnamed CHENG last night, but we could not find any in Queen's Road Central. We went into a house in Queen's Road Central, over a district watchman's house. CHENG-A-YU sent us there. The people said it was a family house. I separated from CHENG and I searched about. I intended to give back the money. I met two friends MAN-A-ON and LÓ-A-MAN, and they asked me to go to Lyndhurst Terrace. We went to a house on the first floor about 9 o'clock. LÓ-A-MAN and MAN-A-ON had been there before. When I got into the house, I only saw three women there. One of the women only was a prostitute. I did not sleep with any woman at No. 9, Lyndhurst Terrace. There was a girl brought to the house. A man named A-NAM brought her. I did not have anything to do with the girl. I engaged the girl at Lyndhurst Terrace and went with her to Peel Street, No. 42. That was about 1 o'clock. Before the Inspectors came, I had left Lyndhurst Terrace. The girl who is in Hospital is the one I had engaged. A-NAM came with me to the house in Peel Street. He said he was going to sleep there, but he was not going to sleep with a girl. I had not paid the girl, whom I had engaged, anything. I opened the trap door and let the Inspector into the floor. The women kneeled before me and said not to do anything, as the Inspector was coming. The deceased and TAI-YAU kneeled before me. They were much frightened. TAI-YAU said, \"I was fined $100 before. I sold my son to pay the fine, and you must not say anything now.\" That was before I opened the door. The woman now present, LAU-A-YEE, was there. She ran with the others up the stairs. I had never been in the house before. I had had some drink. I was not quite drunk, but I was under the influence of drink.\n\nCHENG-KAN-TSAI paid for the supper. He got money from CHENG-A-YÜ. I returned my seven dollars to CHENG-A-YÜ.\n\n根吳\n\nJ. RUSSELL,\nCoroner.\n\n(5)\n\n18th October, 1877.\n\nInquiry resumed at the Magistracy, at 4 o'clock.-Jurors present.\n\n476\n\nCHENG-KAN-TSAI, declared, states:-I am a painter living at Jervois Street. On the evening of the 16th instant, between 6 and 7 o'clock, I was walking with a man named NG-A-KAN, and went to CHENG-A-YU's place, 31, Caine Road. CHENG-A-YU asked me to get some cases for him, to find unlicensed brothels for him. We were to go and try a house in Queen's Road. We got money from CHENG-A-YÜ. I got $3 and NG-A-KAN got $7. We went to the house in Queen's Road over the watchman's and went upstairs. We had no previous knowledge of the women there. We stayed for five minutes. We saw no men there. We proposed to them thus: \"Have you got any women who have got time?\" They said-\"No, you can go.\" We saw three women.\n\nWe then separated. I was walking in Queen's Road. I met a friend called MAN-A-ON. I asked him where he was going to? He said to Singapore. I said, \"As you are going to Singapore, you ought to give me an invite to spend a night at a brothel.\" He said-\"Yes, go on, let us go to a sly brothel.\" He had a friend with him. His name I learned to be LÓ-A-MAN. They took me to an Opium shop, where we fell in with a man called A-NAM. We stayed a short time there, and A-NAM took us to a house at Lyndhurst Terrace, first floor. I do not know the number. When we went up, I saw three women there. I proposed that we should stay there and have supper, and afterwards have girls there. There was one man there. One of the women, named SAI-KAM, told me that there was only one girl there, herself. I said, \"Get two more,\" and a servant was despatched to get two girls. A-NAM was only a pimp to find us the girls. This occurred about eight o'clock. Two girls came about quarter-past eight o'clock. I gave a dollar to A-NAM to buy supper. That was one of the dollars that I got from CHENG-A-YU. The girls came, but only stayed a few minutes, one minute. They promised to stay, went away, but did not return. A-NAM himself went out to get two girls and fetched two at after eleven o'clock, about quarter-past eleven o'clock. One called herself CHAU-KIN, and the other called herself A-SÓ. Three women had supper. We had supper as soon as they came. We had for supper fowls, stuffed pig's feet, sausages, eggs, and about six taels of samshü. We drank three or four cups.\n\nA-NAM remained there and had supper. MAN-A-ON went and fetched NG-A-KAN about nine o'clock. LÓ-A-MAN said that NG-A-KAN might have his girl. We told MAN-A-ON and LÓ-A-MAN that we were going to have them arrested, and MAN-A-ON and LÓ-A-MAN said they did not want to have anything to do with it. They said they had no time to be witnesses. NG-A-KAN promised to pay for the women for them. I stayed at Lyndhurst Terrace with the woman who was in the house. I had not paid her any money.\n\nI was in her room when A-YÜ told me that I should pay the girl two dollars. She agreed to sleep with me. I had not paid any money.\n\nWhen the Inspectors came, I was told that I should pay her. I had not paid any money.\n\nCHENG-A-YÜ never asked me to do any work of this kind before for him, nor did I ever do it. NG-A-KAN was not there when the Inspector came. He left to go to Peel Street with a girl. He went with A-SÓ. A-NAM went with him. CHAU-KIN went away before A-KAN. She went with a servant woman. MAN-A-ON told NG-KAN to pay her, but NG-KAN did not.\n\nMAN-A-ON and LÓ-A-MAN went away together about half-past twelve o'clock, when I paid the money for the supper. I told MAN-A-ON to go and tell CHENG-A-YU.\n\nTo the foreman:-My pay as a painter was 1 mace and 4 candareens per day. I am out of employ now. I have been out of employ for a year now. I sometimes stop here, and sometimes go elsewhere. I live on my friends.\n\nQuery. You spent $1, what did you do with the others?\nAnswer. I gave back the $2 to CHENG-A-YU. I did not expect to get any money from CHENG-A-YÜ. He is a friend of mine. I live in the WING SHING CHEUNG shop, Jervois Street.\n\nTo the Coroner:-I opened the door and let the Inspector in. She (the girl in No. 9, Lyndhurst Terrace) was very frightened and asked-\"What is that?\" I said, \"Nothing, don't be afraid.\" She was afraid. She ran into a front room and concealed herself under a bed. I pointed her out to the Inspector. The Inspector could not see me in the girl's room because I opened the door.\n\n鄭簡齋\n\nNG-A-KAN recalled, and further examined, states:-We had about 18 taels of samshü. I had the most to drink, i.e., more than the others. The supper consisted of fowls, sausages, duck, pig's tripe, pig's feet, salt eggs, and plums.\n\nA-NAM is not here. I don't know where he is. I had nothing to drink when I went to Peel Street. I have been employed by CHENG-A-YÜ in the business before. I have discovered three places before. One last year and two this year. I was a witness against TAI-YAU before. I did not recognize the girl again. She called herself A-SÓ. She did not recognize me.\n\nA-NAM ran out when the Inspector came. He knew that my being there was a plant. He ran when the Inspector came. He ran away with the woman to the roof. I have paid back the money, seven dollars, to CHENG-A-YU. I got no pay last year, but this year I got $2, one on each occasion before as pay.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-179 - Governor Hennessy - 1877 [9-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 301351, "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": "CO129-179 - Governor Hennessy - 1877 [9-12]", "page_number": 479, "title": "CO129-179 - Governor Hennessy - 1877 [9-12]", "content_text": "477 \n\n(6) \n\nTo a Juror:- I was formerly employed with A-Hó, HIP SHING shop. I left there more than a month ago. I am looking for employment. When did you return the seven dollars? I returned the money at three o'clock in the morning. I could get $5 a month, and my food for working at my trade.\n\n根吳 \n\nCHENG-A-YÜ declared, states:- I am Interpreter to the Inspectors of Brothels. I am paid $15, and have free quarters. I have been employed since the 26th June, 1876. On the evening of the 16th instant, I gave seven dollars to the last witness, and three to KAN-TSAI. I told them to go to the house No. 258, Queen's Road Central, top-floor. That is the district watchman's house. I had suspected that it was a secret brothel. The Inspector told me that it was suspected. Inspector LEE had given me the notes between six and seven o'clock. I watched. The men came and said they could not do anything as it was a family house. NG-A-KAN went away. KAN-TSAI and myself met MAN-A-ON and LÓ-A-MAN, and MAN-A-ON said he had a few Hongkong paper dollars, which were no use to him, and he said---\"Let us go and drink the dollars.\" He said this to me. He did not show them. He put his hand in his purse, but he did not show them. I did not say anything, but we adjourned to an Opium shop, not a smoking place. I had been waiting there, while the two men were in the house in Queen's Road, and we went back. I knew LÓ-A-MAN for some time. We were always good friends. A man named A-LING who came out from a room said---“Do you want to go to drink? If you do I'll take you.\" We were talking in the shop. CHENG-KAN-TSAI and LÓ-A-MAN, and MAN-A-ON and A-LING went away together. KAN-TSAI said \"I'll invite you.\" I said, if you get a case let me know. They went away. I went to the painter shop, Wellington Street, waiting, and I told KAN-TSAI where I would be found, and to let A-ON and A-MAN know what was intended to be done. A-ON came and told me about the case, but he said he would not give evidence as he was going away. A-KAN then happened to come, and I told him to go to the place. I then went and told Inspector LEE, and at 12:30, I went to Lyndhurst Terrace with the Inspector. LÓ-A-MAN and MAN-A-ON had given me the number of the house. KAN-TSAI opened the door. We arrested two women and a man. The man and women are now in Gaol on remand. Inspector WHITEHEAD took them to the Station. Inspector LEE, KAN-TSAI, and myself went to Peel Street. We did not know what house to go to, and the man Kan-Tsai called A-KAN. Somebody spoke from a house in Peel Street, and said he is at the opposite house. A woman said-\"I saw somebody go into 42, pointing to 42. We called at the house 12, 'A-KAN, A-KAN.'\" The Inspector then knocked the door with a stick. No answer. A woman looked out from 1st floor. The Inspector told her to open the street door. She came and opened. We went up the stairs. We had not yet heard A-KAN's voice, and did not know he was there, further than what we had learned on the street from the woman of the opposite house. The folding doors on the stairs which were pointed out to the Jury, were closed and fastened. The Inspector climbed over the barrier, and opened it for me. We went up. I called out A-KAN. KAN-TSAI followed us, stopped at the staircase. A-KAN opened the trap door. Inspector LEE and KAN-TSAI went up. A-KAN pointed his finger up towards the roof, and I remained on the stairs. I don't know what happened. KAN-TSAI has returned me $2. A-KAN gave me back $7. This was about two o'clock. I never employed KAN-TSAI before. I have employed A-KAN before.\n\nThe Registrar \n\nTo the Jurors: The informers get one dollar reward, when they get a case. General pays the money. I am employed by the Registrar General's department.\n\nBy the Coroner, at the suggestion of Inspector LEE:- When we went to No. 9, Lyndhurst Terrace, was any remark made by KAN-TSAI in reference to the house of a black-eyed woman? Yes: he said, \"A-KAN, I believe, has gone to the house of black-eyed SAM.\" He said one of the girls belonged to black-eyed SAM's house. KAN-TSAI went to the house of the \"black-eyed\" woman first. The black-eyed woman said that the man had gone to the house which she pointed out.\n\n鄭堯 \n\nCHAN-A-SZ declared, states:- I am a widow and live at Canton. I came down here on the 15th instant, and went to visit the servant who lives at 42, Peel Street, called CHAN-A-YEE. We were old friends, and I stayed there, as I wanted to get some employment. On the night I came, there were the mistress of the house, who is here---LAU-A-YEE---my friend CHAN-A-YEE and myself in the front of the house. The deceased, who was a servant, was called A-SÓ, but I don't know her surname, and the woman who is in Hospital occupied the second room. Nobody occupied the third room. CHAN-A-YEE slept in the passage. There were no men in the house. On the night of Tuesday about twelve o'clock, the mistress got up to worship. I heard her, and very soon I heard a great noise. I was so frightened that I did not come out of the room. I was standing with A-YEE. Afterwards I saw the Inspector in the house. I was taken into custody with my friend, the servant A-YEE. She is servant to the mistress LAU-A-YEE.\n\nHer CHAN-A-SZ Mark.\n\n(7) \n\nCHAN-A-LOK declared, states: I am a servant woman to LAU-A-YEE of 42, Peel Street. The last witness calls me A-YEE. I was engaged on the 28th day of 8th moon. To-day is the 12th of 9th moon. I had a child of the mistress with me in the passage on the night of the 16th. I did not see TAI-YAU go out. I saw TAI-YAU come in with a man about twelve o'clock. I only saw one man. I did not see who shut the door. TAI-YAU had a servant woman of her own. We called her A-SÓ. She is now deceased. LAU-A-YEE was worshipping in the front room at that time. I did not see who opened to let the Inspector into the house. I saw my mistress and TAI-YAU and A-SÓ run through the kitchen. I did not see where they went. I lay still. I was frightened. I knew they were coming to arrest somebody. I did not see anybody praying to a man not to tell the Inspector. I did not hear TAI-YAU say-\"I was fined $100 before, and I had to sell my son to pay the fine.\" Some time afterwards I was arrested and taken to the Station, and kept there all night. We were detained all day yesterday till after the inquest. The deceased was about 40 years of age, I believe.\n\nHer CHAN-A-LOK Mark.\n\nAdjourned at 7 P.M. till 19th at 4 P.M. at Magistracy. Jurors put under the usual recognizances.\n\nJ. RUSSELL,\n\n19th October, 1877.\n\nCoroner.\n\nInquiry resumed at Magistracy this day at 4 o'clock. Jurors answer their names.\n\nLEUNG-A-YUNG declared, states:- I am a coolie employed at collecting rubbish at Lap-sap-wán. I have heard that the deceased was my mother. I identify some of the things shown me as the property of my mother. I recognize the purse, the measuring rule, and some of the clothing. My mother was employed as a servant somewhere in Ching-wan. She was employed in a brothel in Hollywood Road last year. I last saw her about twenty-four days ago. I saw her in my house at Tai-ping-shán. I have a family house in that locality. My mother's name was FUNG-A-SZ. She was fifty-seven years of age. I have learned from a woman who knew my mother that she is dead.\n\nHis LEUNG-A-YUNG Mark.\n\nJOHN LEE further examined, states:- The bundle which I have now shown to the last witness, is the same which I found lying on the head of the deceased. The purse was taken from her person at the Civil Hospital. The standing orders I referred to were those which I learned from Inspector PETERSON, who was then Chief Inspector of Brothels. The standing order was that any house which I suspected to be an unlicensed brothel, if I could get any man to go in and stop with the women, or if I went myself, to take the women into custody. At that time the cases were tried by the Registrar General. That has been the course of procedure. Soon after I joined, I recollect a case where I got evidence of the keeping of an unlicensed brothel at West Point, and I took the persons before the Registrar General, and the persons accused fetched a door to the office, and said we had broken it in. I recollect Mr. SMITH, who was then at the Registrar General's Office, said we were not to break, but simply enter.\n\nHas it not been the custom to report to the Registrar General, when you had reason to suspect a house being an unlicensed brothel, and obtain his authority to enter? Answer. It has not been so; but, in cases where we have failed to get men to stop so as to obtain evidence, and where a suspicion still existed, then we would report to the Registrar General. In that case, the Registrar General would summon the persons before him and investigate.\n\nHas there been any change in the procedure since the Magistrates' Court was made the tribunal under the \"Contagious Diseases Ordinance,\" instead of the Registrar General's Office? Answer.- No, there has not been.\n\nTo a Juror:- Has there been any order given by the Registrar General to employ the class of men like A-KAN and KAN-TSAI, and other men? There has been an order to get evidence, and it is known to the Department, because the Registrar General signs the bill which is paid from the secret service fund. I had no instructions in reference to No. 9, Lyndhurst Terrace.\n\nTo Mr. SMITH, Juror:- In previous cases have you had to chase the people on the roof? Yes; it is a common occurrence for the women to run to the roof. I have pursued them over as many as twenty houses. In the course of the proceedings before the Registrar General or the Magistrates, I presume it would transpire whether the pursuit of women on the roof had taken place? Yes, it would. Have you ever had your attention called to the fact that such pursuit was improper or illegal? Answer.- I have not. In a case tried on the 3rd November last, a woman got out of the front window of a house, and ran along the ledge and got away. That came out in evidence at the Police Court.\n\nJOHN LEE.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-179 - Governor Hennessy - 1877 [9-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 301411, "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": "CO129-180 - Public Offices & Others - 1877", "page_number": 22, "title": "CO129-180 - Public Offices & Others - 1877", "content_text": "# HONG KONG\n\n- Copy of Trace sent with Sir John Cox's Report to the Crown Agents by the Colonies\n\nBy \nBattalion of Concrete Building (Fig 2)\n\nfrom the \nlake of the \nAnaga, etc. which \nin front \nof the \nChat \nttr \n\nFuracy or General \nhas Report of art!

His Excellency was accompanied by his Acting Aide-de-Camp, Mr. CREACH, and his Private Secretary, Mr. G. STAFFORD NORTHCOTE. Among those present to witness the proceedings were the Honourable J. G. AUSTIN, C.M.G., the Honourable C. C. SMITH, the Honourable J. M. PRICE, the Honourable F. B. JOHNSON, Mr. Justice SNOWDEN, Captain H. G. THOMSETT, Mr. J. RUSSELL, Mr. A. LISTER, Mr. H. E.

REUSCH, a large number of ladies, and other foreign residents, besides a good sprinkling of natives.\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY having carefully looked over the examination papers and returns of the School, said the first duty he had to perform was to distribute the prizes which Mr. STEWART had put into his hands, which he proceeded to do, addressing to the different recipients a few words of congratulation and encouragement. To Mr. FRANK HAZELAND, who took the prize in the first class, (a watch presented by His Excellency), he said he was happy to give the prize to the son of a worthy resident of the Colony. Mr. HAZELAND'S father was for many years our Crown Solicitor, he (Mr. FRANK HAZELAND) was himself born in Hongkong, and all were aware of the intimate connection his family had with the Colony for many years. In giving him this prize, His Excellency hoped it would only be one of many steps in progress he would make.\n\nThe following is the Prize list:\n\n| NAME | PRIZE | DONOR |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Tsang Kit-fun | Morrison Scholarship | Morrison Trustees |\n| Hung Kai-shing | Watch | H.

The third master, Mr. GAIR, obtained leave of absence on account of the delicate state of his health, and, I regret to say, he died in Japan. Mr. GAIR was for a long time in the public service of the Colony. He was an Inspector of Police previous to his connection with the Central School. Before joining our Police force he was a school-master in Scotland, and when he was promoted to the important post of third master in this school, I believe I am justified in saying, in the presence of Mr. STEWART and those who knew him well, that he was an able assistant to the Head Master, that he gave the utmost satisfaction to Mr. STEWART and the pupils who came in contact with him. Whilst, therefore, I am bound to express publicly my great regret at his loss, I have at all events the satisfaction of recording the fact that the Government have been able to obtain the assistance of a competent gentleman to take his place, and I may say in passing, that on a recent visit to this school I was much pleased to see how admirably Mr. FALCONER, the second master in the school, Mr. BALL, and Mr. PIERCY assisted Mr. STEWART. When you think of the large number of pupils in this school, you will appreciate the responsibility of Mr. STEWART and the other gentlemen who are entrusted with the management of this institution. What I saw in the school and what I have read of the previous reports of Mr. STEWART and of the progress of the school, all convince me that a change is necessary in the management of this institution in the direction of giving more leisure to Mr. STEWART to attend to the higher duties of inspector of schools. (Applause). I think we are exacting from Mr. STEWART more than any one man, no matter how accomplished and able he may be, can perform in asking him to be not only the inspector of all our schools, but also to retain the post of Head Master in this school. I believe that if Mr. STEWART were to take the position of inspector of schools, maintaining of course in that position a proper supervision over this school, he would be able to give the whole educational scheme of the Colony a closer attention than he is at present able to bestow upon it. It does not do for us if we happen to have a very good officer to overwork him; with the growth, the steady but yet rapid growth, of this school, the work of Mr. STEWART must have grown in proportion, and the time has come when, I think, I may fairly consider whether or not some change should be made of the nature I have indicated. Of course, as you are aware, whatever change I think it necessary to recommend, it will be my duty to report to Her Majesty's Government, but, knowing what the services of Mr. STEWART have been to the school, I believe the Secretary of State would favourably entertain any recommendation in that direction by the Governor of the Colony.\n\nPerhaps I may take this opportunity of saying a word or two to the students who are present on a subject which at one time attracted a good deal of my attention and which, close as we are to China, is not an inappropriate subject in addressing an audience such as this. You are all aware that the Government of the Great Empire close to us relies for obtaining its official element upon a system of open competitive examination, established now for many centuries in China, and you are also aware that some of the countries in Europe—I will not say following the example of China, but certainly treading in the footsteps of China—have established also a system of open competitive examination for appointments in the civil service. Now one of my predecessors, many, many years ago, in writing to the Secretary of State, expressed his opinion that the Government of China was able to conduct the administration of China—of that vast empire stretching down from Peking to Canton—was able to conduct that government from Peking mainly by reason of this system of open competitive examinations, and by relying on certain great moral principles, such as parental authority, which that government at all times enforces. Not long since, when paying a flying visit to Canton, I was shown by Archdeacon GRAY the examination halls in that city. As well as I remember, he told me that at the last examination there were three thousand candidates, and there were very few more than one hundred of these three thousand that were to obtain the degrees; that is, there were few more than one hundred degrees to be given. The result was that during the two or three days the examination lasted the intellectual struggle between these three or four thousand students was very great. The names of the hundred who passed were recorded, and from time to time, as vacancies occurred in the public service of China, they obtained appointments, and in that way some of the most powerful mandarins in China have obtained the public offices they hold. Now the question occurred to me when I arrived in this Colony, would it be possible for me to do anything in that direction here? And perhaps you will excuse me if I refer to the personal reminiscence that some years ago, in the House of Commons, I made a motion for a committee to ascertain whether it was possible to throw open to public competition the whole of the appointments of the civil service in England. We had a debate upon that subject. Lord PALMERSTON, no doubt a very wise statesman, though perhaps on that occasion in the wrong, opposed my motion.\n\nThe House of Commons, however, supported me; I had the satisfaction so far of defeating the Ministry. My committee was appointed and that committee recommended that the civil service of England should be thrown open to free public competition. It came to pass a few years later, in 1870, that Mr. GLADSTONE, who was then the Prime Minister of England, by an Order in Council carried into effect the recommendation of that committee, and I had the great satisfaction of receiving from him a letter which he acquainted me with what he had done, and he was pleased to say that he had all along sympathised with my efforts to throw open the civil service of the United Kingdom to public competition. And at this moment, if a clerkship is vacant in the Colonial Office, in the Board of Admiralty, or in any of the great departments of the State (with one exception), any young man in England, Ireland, or Scotland, without any favour or patronage, can compete for the appointment. And what is the result? I am told by the heads of the departments in England—the Secretary of the Treasury has...\n\nHis EXCELLENCY said:-Ladies and gentlemen, it becomes my pleasing duty to congratulate my friend Mr. STEWART, on the number of scholars who are here to-day. On one of the last occasions I appeared in public in Hongkong—it was at a concert—I saw that the hall in which the concert was held was but half filled. Well, Mr. STEWART cannot complain to-day that this spacious hall is only half-filled; indeed, on the contrary, the hall in this school, though very spacious, is not, on an occasion like this, large enough to contain, I may say, one half of the pupils who are in attendance throughout the year. I suppose the number of pupils who are sitting before me amounts to something like two hundred and fifty or three hundred. The total number of scholars attending this school during the year 1877 amounted to six hundred and ten and at this moment there are four hundred and thirty-three boys in attendance at the Central School, so that a considerable number of the pupils are not now inside this room. So far, therefore, Mr. STEWART has no cause of complaint as to the attendance at the school; and, I may add, it is not only to-day very large, but, I believe, I am right in saying that in the history of the school it has never been so large as it is to-day. Mr. STEWART now tells me it is larger than it has ever been before. The daily average attendance, which after all is the real test of the working of a school so far as the attendance is concerned, was this year four hundred and thirty-one, being considerably in excess of that of the previous year. But whilst I congratulate Mr. STEWART on that important fact, I must condole with him and the scholars upon the loss that this institution...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-181 - Governor Hennessy - 1878 [1-8].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 302016, "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": "CO129-181 - Governor Hennessy - 1878 [1-8]", "page_number": 177, "title": "CO129-181 - Governor Hennessy - 1878 [1-8]", "content_text": "## THE HONGKONG Government Gazette.\n\nNo. 7.\n\nPublished by Authority.\nVICTORIA, SATURDAY, 16TH FEBRUARY, 1878.\n\n### VOL. XXIV.\n\n#### THE TUNG WAH HOSPITAL, HONGKONG\n\nThe following account of His Excellency The Governor's Visit to the Tung Wah Hospital on the 8th February, 1878, is extracted from the report of the China Mail, for general information.\n\n### THE GOVERNOR'S VISIT TO THE TUNG WAH HOSPITAL.\n\nHis Excellency Governor POPE HENNESSY, C.M.G., paid a ceremonial visit to the Tung Wah Hospital on the 8th of February at 3 o'clock. Early in the afternoon, the crowded streets leading to the Hospital were kept clear by a detachment of Police, composed of Europeans, Sikhs and Chinese, and the full force of the District Watchmen for this District. It was no easy matter to clear the way, as at the time of the Chinese New Year festivities the streets are unusually crowded, and the three Chinese Theatres, all in this locality, were in full swing. About 2:30 P.M. a guard of honour from the 74th Regiment, with the Regimental Band, arrived, and lined the road leading up to the Hospital. Shortly after 3 P.M., His Excellency arrived, accompanied by Mr. CREACH, acting A.D.C., and Private Secretary NORTHCOTE; and Admiral HILLYAR, accompanied by Secretary PARISH and Flag-Lieutenant WILLOUGHBY, preceded a few minutes before by Dr. MOWLL, formerly of H.M.S. Vigilant. Among the foreign visitors present to witness the ceremony, were Mr. HAYLLAR, Q.C., Rev. Dr. E. J. EITEL, Mr. J. J. FRANCIS, and Mr. D'ALMADA. The Chinese community was very fully represented, there being present nearly 300 influential native residents from all classes of the community; and of those present some 50 or 60 were in their Mandarin costumes, some with blue buttons, some with crystal, and some with gold buttons; while a few had the additional honour of wearing the peacock's feather. Among those in uniform, we observed: Messrs. LEONG ON, CHUN TING CHEE, KWOK ACHEONG, CHEANG SING YEONG, LING HO WOON, WONG YIK PAN, WAI AKWONG, NG CHOY, CHUN AYIN, FUNG MING SHAN, WONG KWAN TONG, NG Sang, WONG SHING, NG CHEUK CHEE, and others.\n\nOn the arrival of His Excellency and party, the Band of H.M. 74th Regiment struck up a familiar strain; while as the Governor and party entered, a salute of three guns was fired and some Chinese music was performed. Those of the Chinese who were in uniform then placed themselves in two lines from the door up to the Hall, and saluted the Governor and Admiral in proper Chinese style. His Excellency was then conducted to the top of an oblong table, with Admiral HILLYAR on his right and Dr. MOWLL on his left. After all were seated, tea, and refreshments in the shape of confectionery were brought in. The Governor and party were conducted through the patients' wards, and then back to the Hall.\n\nThis over, Mr. NG CHOY then rose and said: - YOUR EXCELLENCY AND GENTLEMEN, I have been asked to be spokesman on this occasion, and I have accepted that honour with very great pleasure, though I think there may be more competent persons present to undertake the task. In the first place, I have been requested to thank Your Excellency, for your kind visit here to-day, on behalf of the Chinese community of Hongkong. We are here to receive and welcome Your Excellency in this hall. I may be permitted to say that we have represented every class of the Chinese community. The gentlemen here represent the Committee of this Hospital, Merchants, Compradores, Shopkeepers, and, in fact, every trade and profession in this Colony. We have thought it advisable to commit what we have to say on this occasion to writing, and to consider it well before doing so. Your Excellency may take this address, which we shall have the honour to present to you, as expressing not only our own views, who are here, but the unanimous sentiment of the Chinese community. This address is in two parts; one part is in Chinese and the other part is in English. The latter is a free translation of the first, and, with Your Excellency's permission, we shall read the Chinese part first, and then I shall follow by reading the English part. I will now call upon my Chinese friend, to read the Chinese part.\n\nMr. WONG KWAN TONG then read the address in Chinese.\n\n4 \nMr. Lowerek on behalf of the Unofficial Members expressed approval of this.\n\n5. Saving previously discussed the question very fully in the Executive Council, I found that they all concurred in my views.

There is therefore immediate necessity, not directly arising from the Resolutions of the Conference, but brought into greater prominence by them, of erecting a number of school-buildings for Government Schools, already existing, which are supported entirely by Government and are unprovided with suitable accommodation, viz., the 2 Schools at Sai Ying Pun, the 2 schools in Queen's Road East and West, the School at Wong Kung, the School at Shek-tong-tsui, the School at You Ma Tei, the school at Stanley, and, if it were possible (though I fear it is not), the Central School and the School in Shing Wan. These last two schools may for the present be left out of consideration, as that portion of the town is situated where the Government could not obtain ground for building without incurring great outlay.\n\nHere remain then the following School houses to be built: - \nAt Sai Ying Pun, the School house there for Punti and Hakka, having bec...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-182 - Governor Hennessy - 1878 [9-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 302699, "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": "CO129-182 - Governor Hennessy - 1878 [9-12]", "page_number": 221, "title": "CO129-182 - Governor Hennessy - 1878 [9-12]", "content_text": "## THE GOVERNOR'S STATISTICS.\n\n### SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS.\n\n## SPOTS OF INTEREST ON THE ADJACENT MAINLAND.\n\n### CHUEN-WAN\n\nCounsel, whose mind is of far too logical a nature, stands first. As was well said by the Hon. W. KESWICK in the Council Chamber some months ago, Hongkong ought not to be made the prison-house of South China. Such, however, it must inevitably become unless steps be taken to keep the Colony free from the habitual criminals from Kwangtung, instead of, by tender treatment and good board and lodging, practically holding out to them an invitation to pay the island periodical visits for purposes of plunder.\n\nThe other pass, known as the Shing-moon pass, leads to the eastward of the great Tai-mo-shan, the lofty mountain peak, by far the highest in the neighbourhood, at the foot of which Chüen-wan is situated, skirts the villages near Castlepeak Bay, passing through Shap-pat-heung, or the eighteen villages, which lie on the Eastern side of Deep Bay; then by the bank of the half canal half creek which gives junk communication between Sam-chun and San-hu, or new market, and thence into the heart of the Tung-koon district to Shok-lung, which communicates with Canton via Kaulung City and the pass beyond to the northward.\n\nThe intending traveller from Hongkong to Sam-chun crosses the harbour by the Yau-mak-tee ferry. From Yau-mah-tee he walks through Kowloon City to Chuen-wan, and sees to recant the opinions thus ably expressed in the report at the foot of which his signature leads to the eastward. We have had new and doubtful experiments tried, while some excellent provisions, the repressive character of which had been proved by the experience of many years, were relaxed, and groundless leniency shown to convicted murderers.\n\nHis Excellency the GOVERNOR mainly responsible for the present position of affairs-October 7th. It is important, when tracing the great increase of crime in the Colony to its sources, nor to lose sight of any conducing causes that have been overlooked, full credit will be given for them. Among other matters referred to in the schedule of documents laid before the Committee appointed to inquire into the Police Duties, is a reference to a despatch by Sir ARTHUR KENNEDY to Lord CARNARVON two years back in which he seems to anticipate a serious increase of crime consequent on the lowering of the fares by the Canton river steamers. Mr. HENNESSY certainly makes a point here.\n\nThe anchorage in Chüen-wan Bay is regarded by junk masters as a peculiarly safe one, with good holding ground, hence the selection of this spot in former days by pirates as their depot or stronghold, to which they repaired for refitting their craft or disposing of their ill-gotten gains, and for which purpose Chien-wan presents singular facilities in the fact that the two passes through the mountains into the Tung-koon and Wei-chow districts and the wealthy and populous towns to the northward and eastward may be approached either by Chien-wan.\n\nAfter landing, which is a somewhat difficult business on account of the mud, walk up past the villages by a stone-paved path, often shaded by trees, then, turning to the left, up the mountain side several pretty Chinese water mills may be seen. These water wheels are worked by a wooden shaft on which are projecting knobs which depress a lever, on the other end of which is a heavy stone pestle, which thus alternately elevated and allowed to fall, pulverizes the sandalwood or other substance contained in a large stone mortar beneath.\n\nIn the village of Chen-wan the manufacture of incense or Chinese joss-stick is carried on on a somewhat extensive scale, the principal ingredient being sandalwood powdered in the mills I have referred to. Chinese vermicelli is also made here.\n\nOr to those not afraid of the long Chinese walk, or provided with chairs, a visit to the lead mine spoken of before might not be without its interest. The locality is about half a mile beyond the village of Shing-moun, at the top of the pass. One able to endure the fatigue would be well repaid by the magnificent view of Tai-tú-shan with Mirs Bay, and its surrounding mountains, notably the curious saddle mountain, or Ma-on-shau, on the other.\n\nAs a few lines about the place where the robbers of Tuesday night, 24th ultimo, landed after committing their raid on the Cheung Shing goldsmiths shop may be of public interest at the present time we will in as few words as possible give a brief sketch of the place. Chien-wan Bay, called in olden times Pirates Bay, is a shallow inlet situated about a mile to the eastward of the Cap-shui-moon and some two miles or more to the northward and westward of Stonecutters' Island.\n\nThe bay itself is some half-mile broad, by about the same depth, and shallowing so gradually that sufficient depth of water for a launch could not be found at less than a hundred yards or more from the shore in any part. Chien-wan is approached from Stonecutters Island by a passage between the mainland and the Island of Chung-hü. This passage, after passing the large Island of Chung-hü, is termed Kai-chap-moon and is, after passing Ma-on Island, exposed for about half a mile, where it receives the protection of Ma-on Island.\n\nThis is the island which, situated between the large island of Nam-tai-o, or Tai-te-shan, and the mainland, forms the two passages leading over the mountains into densely populated plains. These plains are inhabited by an industrious, and, as Chinese go, honest population, but very turbulent and always carrying on clan fights amongst themselves, nearly every house or village being built as a fort.\n\nThe former is the passage taken by the Canton river steamers; the latter will be found convenient for boats or launches which are unable to make way against the strong tide running in the Cap-shui-moon, or for those who, dreading the pangs of sea sickness, wish to avoid the heavy seas which often have to be encountered when taking the more exposed route by Cap-shui-moon.\n\nPeople going out for an excursion would find the place not unworthy of a visit. The private residence of a wealthy Chinese well known as the Stanley great man is picturesquely situated amongst a grove of trees on a well-wooded hill side, and, although strangely built in the Chinese style of architecture, it was some years back captured by thieves, who after holding the house some hours, carried off everything of value, including the youngest and choicest of the unfortunate proprietor's concubines.\n\nThis Shing-moon leads down to the southern arm of Mirs Bay and so communicates by water with several nests of thieves and pirates in Mirs Bay or rather on the northern shore of the bay. These places thus referred to are at the extremity of passes through the mountains into the densely populated plains.\n\nThe Police report for `1877` showed an increase of `6.45` per cent. of serious crime and `23.86` per cent. of minor offences over the preceding year. In `1878` there was a much larger increase of serious crime, and since then things have gone from bad to worse, though attention has been called to the facts by the GOVERNOR in the Legislative Council and by the Press.\n\nHow, then, is it that a check has not sooner been given to this growth of crime? Mr. HENNESSY would seem to contend that the increase has been natural and inevitable; we maintain that its later and worst development is the fruit of His Excellency's mistaken policy. At a time when it was obvious that greater rigour should be observed in dealing with criminals, he indiscreetly denounced in strong terms the practice of former administrations and induced an impression among the criminal class that more lenient treatment would be dealt out to offenders in future, a notion that was still further confirmed by some highly judicious pardons granted by His Excellency.\n\nA reference to the return published in the Gazette of the number of pardons granted during fifteen months of Sir ARTHUR KENNEDY's administration and a like period of the present administration, it indicates nothing unless the relative numbers of conditional pardons be also published, if these are included, as we presume they are. Conditional pardons generally involve the absence of the pardoned from the Colony for a certain number of years.\n\n## DESPATCH.\n\n**No.** `13089` \n**Date.** `14 OCT 78` \n**Subject.** Midan Baraphrase of telegram from the Governor of Hong Kong.\n\nThe Crown Agents would be glad if the `15` constables on the usual conditions be engaged to fill the vacancies which may be expected at the end of the year.\n\n**(Minutes.)** \nThere was scarcely any need for cipher.

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

Ng Choy, Leung On, Fang Tang, Hop Koe, Ho Amei, Lee Sing, and Chong Tsin Yeong, waited upon General Grant at Government House, to present him with an address previous to his departure.\n\nHis Excellency the Governor introduced the deputation to General Grant, and the Hon. A. E. Bois, Colonel Mosby, and Major Palmer, A.D.C., were also present.\n\nMr. Ng Choy, who had been deputed to present the address, began by saying a few words regretting that, owing to the time necessarily taken in preparing it, they had been unable to wait sooner upon the General for the purpose of presentation. He then handed him the address and read the translation of it, as follows:-\n\n**(Translation)**\n\nTo General Ulysses S. Grant, late President of the United States of America and Commander-in-Chief of the United States Army.\n\nOn the occasion of your honouring Hongkong with your presence we, the undersigned, on behalf of the Chinese Community, approach you to give you a hearty welcome and beg to present to you an address expressive of our high esteem and respect for you.\n\nDuring your Presidency, your great name and noble qualities were well known far and wide, and by the carrying out of laws and respect from you commanded admiration from all classes of people under your rule, we have been delighted to learn that in international questions you have shown a spirit of impartiality and fairness, treating Americans and Foreigners alike, and the Chinese who have been trading in the United States have sung, and continue to sing, praises of the many good actions done by you while in office. We had longed to see you, but being far away we were hitherto not permitted to realize our wish. Now that you have honoured us with a visit, we avail ourselves of the opportunity to present you with a scroll inscribed with these four words \"Benefit to Chinese People\" which we hope may serve as a souvenir of your interview with the Chinese Community of Hongkong.\n\nNg Choy \nO Man Chai \nKwok Aubeong \nChing Sing Yeong \nWong Kwau Tong \nLoong On \nKon Moon Walt \nChum Sui Shug \nSee mee Sang Kai \ning Sart Yeong \nYo Wni San \nPan Fong Poo \nPow Chung Hung \nCha Sit Chuen \nPoon Chi Kai \nLee Sing \nHo Amei \nLeo Tuck Chong \nFung Tang \nChow Shing Lam \nTung Ting Kam \nLoo Lai Pang \nWong Yu Yee \nLee Pun Chee \nSay Yeon Man \nMing Koo \nTung Tack Chan \nLai Hong Chunan Yuen \nCheong Wing \nWing Mow Cheong \nChong Woo Chan \nLong Cheong Chan \nWing Cheong Chan \nYa Sang Cheong \nMee Fook \nMesa Cheong Wo \nKwan Choong Lung \nTeu Cheong Lang \nKwong Lee Cheong \nWing Cheong Phing \nTon Hing Lung \nKwong Man Fung \nChun Wing...

It will be kept by me as a pleasing memento of the Chinese community of Hongkong. In other colonies during my recent travels I have also met countrymen of yours, and I have found the rulers of those colonies recognising your good qualities of frugality, industry, and enterprise. Such qualities go far to account for the prosperous condition in which I see you all here. I am now leaving Hongkong to visit your country, and I am sure I shall see much that will be very interesting to me. For this handsome address I must again thank you most sincerely, and I shall never forget the kindness shown to me by the people here. I wish that prosperity may continue to be enjoyed by you.\n\nAt the request of His Excellency the Governor, Mr. Ng Choy introduced the other members of the deputation to the General.\n\nThe deputation then withdrew. The address, which was sixteen feet long by four feet wide, an extremely handsome scroll, was embroidered in gold on a strip of crimson satin about ten feet long, with a rich deep border, exquisitely embroidered. The characters are written in Chinese. On the top of the scroll is written the address, on the right side is General Grant's name in Chinese, and on the opposite side are the signatures. In the centre are four large Chinese characters, viz:- \"Wai Kap Wa Man\" (Benefit to Chinese people.) The scroll was packed in a teak wood box.\n\nIn response to the invitation of His Excellency the Governor, the officials, naval, military, and civil, as well as a large number of the general community, assembled shortly before eleven o'clock a.m. at Murray Pier to see General Grant and party embark for the U.S.S. Ashuelot. There were present the Chief Justice (Sir John Smale), His Excellency Major-General Donovan; Commodore Smith; the Hon. W. H. Marsh, Colonial Secretary; Hon. J. Russell, Attorney-General; Hon. M. S. Tonnochy, Acting-Colonial Treasurer; Hon. J. M. Price, Surveyor-General; Hon. P. Ryrie, Hon. W. Keswick, and Hon. H. B. Gibb, Members of the Legislative Council; the Acting Puisne Judge; Hon. C. B. Plunket; Colonel Geddes, 27th Regiment; Colonel Sherwin-ton, Assistant Commissary-General; Colonel Moore, Commissary-General of Ordnance; Colonel Mosby, U. S. Consul; Mr. Taro Ando, Japanese Consul; Captain Kasama, H.I.J.M. corvette Nissin; a good sprinkling of naval and military officers and a number of the residents. The police, under Captain-Superintendent Deane, lined the road from Government House to the pier, upon which was drawn up a company of the 27th Inniskillings with their colours and band. Punctually at eleven o'clock the General and his party, with His Excellency the Governor and Mrs. Hennessy, arrived at Murray Pier, when General Grant gave his arm to Mrs. Hennessy while the Governor escorted Mrs. Grant to the head of the pier. The guard of honour presented arms, and the band played as they passed. Arrived at the steps, the General and his party exchanged adieux with those present, and as they stepped into the Government launch Mr. Hennessy called for three cheers for General Grant, which invitation was warmly responded to, and one cheer more for Mrs. Grant added. His Excellency the Governor, Mrs. Hennessy, Colonel Mosby, Major Palmer, R.E., A.D.C., and Dy. Paymaster Eastlake accompanied the party to the Ashuelot. As the launch steamed away from the pier the band of the 27th played their Farewell March to Gosport, which included \"Over the Sea\" and \"Good bye, Sweetheart.\" On passing the Spanish gunboat Marques del Duero, and the German corvette Luise, the marines on both vessels were drawn up and saluted the launch, the band on the Luise playing \"Hail Columbia.\" Captain Mortimer L. Johnson, the new commander of the Ashuelot, received the General and party on board and conducted them to the hurricane deck, where there were in waiting Mr. and Mrs. Forbes, Admiral Polo (Spanish Navy), Captain Sobering (H.I.G.M. Navy), Dr. Von der Horck, and Mrs. Eastlake. After the final farewells had been taken, the Governor, Mrs. Hennessy, Colonel Mosby, and Major Palmer left in the Government launch. On His Excellency leaving the Ashuelot he was saluted by that vessel. The Ashuelot shortly afterwards left for Swatow.\n\nMr. Afong, the photographer, has taken an excellent view of the embarkation.\n\nPage 338", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-184 - Governor Hennessy - 1879 [1-5].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 303967, "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": "CO129-184 - Governor Hennessy - 1879 [1-5]", "page_number": 559, "title": "CO129-184 - Governor Hennessy - 1879 [1-5]", "content_text": "# Audit Office Establishment Yearly Colonial Colonial Salary Revenue Expenditure\n\n| Year | Audit Office Establishment | Yearly Salary | Colonial Revenue | Colonial Expenditure |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 1854 | W.

(signed) A. W. Bewlet,\n\n**VISIT TO HONGKONG OF HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR GENERAL LAU KWAN-YIH**\n\nThe following is extracted from the report in the \"Daily Press.\"\n\nThe visit which His Excellency LAU KWAN-YIH, late Viceroy of Kwangtung and Kwangsi and Viceroy elect of the Two Kiang, which term includes the three provinces of Kiangsu, Kiangsi and Nganhway, paid to His Excellency Governor HENNESSY on Saturday last, the 24th instant, is an event of considerable importance in more than one respect. Although many Chinese officials of high rank have on various occasions paid visits to Government House on passing through the Colony en route for some other place, this visit of Viceroy Lau is certainly the first instance in the history of Hongkong in which a Chinese dignitary of such high rank has gone out of his way to come expressly and signalize his personal friendship with an English Governor and his sense of the entente cordiale between the Hongkong and Canton Governments. It is evident that Chinese officials consider that the position which Governor HENNESSY has all along taken in his relations to the Chinese Government as well as to the Chinese population of this Colony, has materially contributed towards cementing the friendship happily existing between England and China. The Marquis of TSENG gave utterance to this feeling on his passing through Hongkong en route for London. CHUNG HOW repeated the same sentiment on his visit to Government House a few weeks ago; whilst LI HUNG-CHANG and TING YIH-CH'ANG have in private correspondence expressed in similar terms their recognition of the attitude Mr. HENNESSY has taken in Chinese affairs.\n\nLast Friday night, shortly before midnight, Viceroy Lau arrived in harbour, without previous announcement of any sort, direct from Canton, accompanied by a small flotilla of gunboats. Early on Saturday morning he sent word to Government House that, having handed over the seals of office to his successor in the Vice-royalty of the Two Kwang provinces, and not yet having taken over the seals of the Vice-royalty of the three provinces of Central China to which he had been appointed, he availed himself of the only spare day he had before his official departure from Canton, to come in person to Hongkong in order to reciprocate the feelings of personal friendship which had sprung up between Governor HENNESSY and himself since his tenure of office in Canton, and to thank him for the great influence which his Chinese policy in Hongkong has exercised towards cementing the good relations existing between the Governments of China and England. His Excellency the Governor sent Major PALMER, A.D.C., at once on board, to arrange the time and place of landing, and twelve o'clock was fixed as the time when Viceroy Lau was to land at Murray Pier. The Commandant of the neighbouring town of Kaulung, Colonel Lai, applied for and received permission to land a company of Chinese marines at the pier, to act as escort to the Viceroy. Half a dozen Chinese military officers of the Viceroy's staff landed their strangely caparisoned steeds and awaited the landing of their chief. This drew a large crowd of Chinese spectators, although the population were generally unaware of the arrival of the Viceroy, the Chinese papers of Saturday morning having announced that Viceroy Lau would pass through Hongkong the following week on his way to Peking. Owing to the presence of the Chinese marines and military officers, who crowded the pier, the guard of honour furnished by Her Majesty's 27th Inniskillings drew up at the corner of Murray Barracks, to salute the distinguished visitor. A few minutes before noon, the Viceroy landed at Murray Pier, where Major PALMER, R.E., A.D.C., Dr. EITEL, the Governor's Chinese Secretary, and the Canton Commissioner of Customs were in waiting. As His Excellency left the Tsing-po, a salute was fired from H.M.S. Victor Emanuel, and on landing he was received with a salute from the Royal Artillery at the Wellington Battery. The Viceroy was accompanied by his Aides-de-Camp, Colonel LAI, and Major U TA-SHING and his interpreter, Mr. SIEH YAO-KWANG, Acting Assistant Magistrate of the Nam Hoi District.

The building was filled to overflowing, many of the Chinese inhabitants of the neighbourhood being present.\n\nHis Excellency arrived at 3 P.M., when some 200 boys, representing the prize boys of 29 different Government Schools, were in waiting, together with their Masters. When the Governor had taken his seat, the Inspector of Schools, Dr. EITEL, addressed His Excellency as follows:\n\nMay it please Your Excellency, The Masters and pupils of the Government Schools of this Colony, outside the Central School, are here assembled to-day to receive the rewards and prizes allotted to them for the year 1879. The rewards to be given to the Masters are grants of $25 and $15 which have been sanctioned, since the year 1877, by the Secretary of State for annual distribution among those Masters of Government Schools whose schools are classed for the year as \"very good\" or as \"good\" respectively. In the present case I have, on the basis of my periodical inspections and of the annual examinations, determined upon the following classification.\n\n#### I.

Taking these Anglo-Chinese Schools first, I found that the English School kept by Mr. FUNG FU in Third Street, Sai-ying-pún, had to be classed as the best school. I am sure that the results which the examination of this school disclosed are fully equal to the results of teaching given at the Central School in corresponding classes. But I must explain that this school was at work all the year on the optional principle which, with Your Excellency's permission, I applied to this school as an experiment, that the school was opened at the beginning of 1879 with some 61 pupils, that at first the parents of...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-187 - Governor Hennessy - 1880 [1-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 305441, "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": "CO129-187 - Governor Hennessy - 1880 [1-4]", "page_number": 182, "title": "CO129-187 - Governor Hennessy - 1880 [1-4]", "content_text": "## Prize Distribution\n\n**4th Class, 1st Division**\n\n- A Silva, for General Improvement, \"Stories of Birds,\" presented by Honourable J.

I need hardly say that no one in this Colony is better qualified than Dr. EITEL to test the proficiency of scholars. It affords me peculiar gratification to be present here to-day to take part with all of you in seeing the result of the instruction given by the Christian Brothers. As his Lordship has said, it is the first time that this school has come under our Government grant-in-aid system although that system was established in 1873. The difficulties to which his Lordship referred have been happily surmounted, and Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH, in the decision he gave, has caused universal satisfaction throughout the Colony to the School managers and the parents of the pupils.\n\nIt is true his predecessor, Lord CARNARVON, addressed to me a despatch desiring me to ask the Bishop how it came to pass that in this Colony the Roman Catholic schools were not accepting any aid from the Government. Accordingly, a letter was addressed to the Bishop conveying the instructions I had received from Lord CARNARVON. The Bishop, in answering, went minutely into the objections that he and other managers of schools took to the grant-in-aid scheme, for it did so happen that he did not stand alone in the objections that he raised to it. At the very same time that his Lordship objected to the scheme as it then stood, the head of the Berlin Mission, Pastor KLITZKE, his successor during his absence, Pastor Louis, and our late Colonial Chaplain, Mr. Kron, also came to me and stated their objections to the scheme. Those objections were reduced to writing and duly transmitted by me to Her Majesty's Government. They turned mainly on one point, that the scheme insisted that certain books to be used in the schools should be secular books and that four hours a day should be given to purely secular instruction. They said, \"Let us teach our schools as we ourselves and the parents of the children think best, teaching according to the standards fixed upon by the Government; let the Government select the subjects, let Government select its own Inspectors and Examiners and give the grant-in-aid according to the result of their inspection and examination, but do not tie us down to any specified class of books or four hours of secular teaching.\" Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH considered these objections, and of the ten points raised by the Bishop, he instructed me to grant seven, the other three being points of a different character, one of them relating to the two hundred attendances. I shall convey to the Secretary of State the cordial acknowledgments which the Bishop has made publicly to-day to Her Majesty's Government for what Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH has done. I shall also not fail to consider most carefully the Bishop's observations with respect to the two hundred attendances. It is a fact that at Singapore there is a different rule, and indeed the rule in England also on that subject is different. It is also, perhaps, a reasonable statement to make that whilst it may be perfectly fair to expect two hundred attendances from a Chinese boy, to expect the same from a European boy in this climate may not be equally fair. However, I shall consider that question.\n\nThe school we are now assembled in is therefore enjoying a grant-in-aid, and the question arises, what does the Government get from this school, what advantage will Her Majesty's Government derive from the grant-in-aid given in this and similar institutions? I admit at once it is the duty of the State to assist education, but I think it is especially our duty in this Colony to assist in giving a sound English education. It was therefore satisfactory to see that the young gentleman who read out the list of prizes so clearly got a first prize. His correct enunciation showed how well he deserves it. Dr. EITEL has reported that as far as English speaking goes, of all the schools he has been examining he regards this as the best; in arithmetic, he reports highly of his examination, and also in the art of handwriting. In other words, the English speaking, the writing, and the arithmetic in this school show a sound basis for our mercantile requirements. The Inspector has also reported that the results of the teaching in Algebra and Geometry are excellent. But there is one defect to which I venture, as I have received a report on the subject officially, to call the attention of the teachers, and that is in English Composition. Now, it arises, I believe, not so much from the fault of the teachers as from the fact that the pupils are mostly young gentlemen of the Portuguese race. I observe my friend Mr. LOUREIRO, the Portuguese Consul, here. He sees a majority of apparently Portuguese youth in this school; but I claim them from him as British subjects, because, although they are of the Portuguese race, they have been born in the Colony and therefore it is only their fathers or grandfathers he has charge of; I have official charge of these young gentlemen.\n\nIn the address which my young friend ALMADA read, I have been invited to give the scholars advice. Acting on that invitation, I therefore recommend that they should endeavour of all things to improve their English Composition. We all know what admirable clerks the young Portuguese make, we know how accurately they keep their accounts, how clear is their handwriting; and we know their other good points—fidelity, punctuality, and the courtesy that arises from a natural disposition to please—but they are defective in English Composition, and it is a most important thing in this Colony that they should pay attention to it, and that in this respect they should show they are equal to any other youths in Hongkong. I would therefore advise them to establish some organisation or society among themselves where they might read little essays in English and discuss them, and also to endeavour to form a library of English authors, not so much of instructive as of entertaining books; by reading these books and writing essays they might gain the skill they require in English Composition. I am sure in giving that advice, from what I have seen of the prizes to-day, I am only doing what the donors of the prizes would like. I find among the prizes some contributed by Dr. STEWART, the Head Master of the Central School, and all the prizes he has given are prizes pointing in that direction, to the teaching and studying of English.\n\nOwing to the munificence of my generous friend, Mr. BELILIOS, there is established in this Colony now a series of scholarships. The Honourable Mr. RYRIE, Dr. EITEL, and the Governor of the Colony are the trustees of the `BELILIOS Scholarships`. Some of these will be devoted to giving medical instruction to Chinese, which I hope to see accomplished by means of the native physicians at the Tung Wah Hospital in combination with a teacher of western medical science. Some of the scholarships go to the Central School; and some to this school. I advise the pupils who may compete for the `BELILIOS scholarships` to endeavour to work beyond the sixth standard, to remain a little longer at school, and to give their attention in the direction I have been pointing, namely, to English composition and English literature.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-187 - Governor Hennessy - 1880 [1-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 305457, "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": "CO129-187 - Governor Hennessy - 1880 [1-4]", "page_number": 198, "title": "CO129-187 - Governor Hennessy - 1880 [1-4]", "content_text": "# 2106 February, 1880.\n\n## Loverna M.

If His Excellency would allow him, he would first read the address in Chinese and afterwards request Dr. ETTEL to read the translation. He then read the address as follows, of which the translation was afterwards read by Dr. EITEL, Chinese Secretary to the Governor:\n\n\"**Address of thanks to His Excellency John Pope Hennessy, C.M.G., Governor and Commander-in-Chief of Hongkong.**\n\n\"Ever since His Excellency Governor HENNESSY assumed office on his arrival here, he has been the Protector of our whole community of Hongkong. In the fervent hope that happiness in abundance will ever fill his mind and tranquility never fail to surround him, we, the whole Chinese community of Hongkong, are moved with delight unspeakable. For we bear in mind that ever since His Excellency the Governor entered upon his appointment, he relaxed, on every audience granted to us on public business...\n\n## 香港督憲\n\n本月十九日，督憲燕大人接見本港華商代港衆拜謁者有：怡昌正金行馮登祥、俊昌泰行內李汝祥、許明光於萬全店、崔影由於福隆店、馮玉靄、卓緱玉於萬源店、凌殿材於高隆泰疋頭店、馮衍庭於萬和豐公司、黄招容於環日書怡泰南北行、許文治於悅和店、郭祥於俊昌泰花紗店、李士昭於廣茂泰南北行、招成林於廣記南北行、黄日屏於萬和豐公司、陳景星及顏宗賢於福記正頭店、桂瑤於發興行、郭松於怡昌南北行、謝保泰於福隆店、吳啟光於麗源店、陳兆祥於豐報主筆、王韜於有利銀行買辦馮熙德、忌利士買辦吳子、莫瑞隆匹頭店陸貴發。\n\n馮明瑠安倡言曰：恭謝燕制軍頌詞。本港華商親詣督憲塔前，爲代港衆拜謁。詞誦香港總督漢語畢，馮明瑠安將頌詞先誦華文，後請歐參贊譯誦英文。\n\n**敬獻頌詞懇求容蟻**\n督憲大人節鉞來臨，橅我港衆。伏維承膺多祐，恒集綏安。闔港華商不勝雀躍。溯自制軍督憲來港以來，凡遇我等因公謁見，參贊歡隨，將頌詞無不略分情殷勤。殛接仰窺督憲...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-187 - Governor Hennessy - 1880 [1-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 305705, "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": "CO129-187 - Governor Hennessy - 1880 [1-4]", "page_number": 446, "title": "CO129-187 - Governor Hennessy - 1880 [1-4]", "content_text": "## \nClark Smart Selle H..

It is our duty, therefore, on the score of gratitude and for the sake of our common humanity, to do what lies in our power for our fellow subjects in Ireland.—(Applause.) I am glad to see that the people of Bombay and other great Indian cities are actively and promptly responding to the appeal on behalf of Ireland, and I trust that the Indians of Hongkong will not prove behindhand in the same good cause.—(Applause.)\n\nThe resolution was carried by acclamation, and His Excellency called upon the Honourable P. RYRIE to move the next resolution.\n\nHonourable P. RYRIE.—Your Excellency, Ladies and Gentlemen, the resolution which has been in my hands is purely a business matter. You are well aware that subscriptions are proposed and everyone is willing to give, but an active working Committee is required to carry the thing out. I have now, ladies and gentlemen, to propose to you a number of names to form that Committee. I am perfectly certain that when you hear the names you will all assent. In electing these gentlemen you elect not only a representative body but gentlemen who will really carry out the object for which we are met to-day, and that is, the collecting of subscriptions for the relief of the distress in Ireland, remitting the money home, and other matters that come within the scope of a Committee's duty. I will now, with your permission, read out the names: His Excellency the Governor, His Excellency the Admiral and Family, Admiral Coori, His Excellency General DONOVAN, His Honour the Chief Justice, Sir JOHN SMAL Adamson, H. H., Honourable W. KESWICK, Honourable No Chor, H. Lowcock, Esquire; H. L. DALRYMPLE, Esquire; Ahmed, H. E. H., F. D. Sassoon, Esquire; E. R. BELILIOS, Esquire; H. Horrius, Esquire; ADOLPH ANDRÉ, Esquire; Albay, S.S.; H. DE COURCY FORBES, Esquire; H. M. MEHTA, Esquire; J. LOUREIRO, Esquire, Consul General for Portugal; LEONG On, Esquire; R. A. O'BRIEN, M.D., Esquire; ATWELL COXON, Esquire; myself. The two ex-officio members, on whom the bulk of the work will fall, are R. D. STARKE and J. M. d' Castro, Esquire, Honorary Secretary; and T. JACKSON, Esquire, Honorary Treasurer.—(Loud applause.) A. F., I think, ladies and gentlemen, the selection is one that will meet with the approval of you all. I therefore, with the permission of His Excellency, propose that these gentlemen be elected as Committee.\n\nThe COLONIAL SECRETARY said he had great pleasure in seconding the resolution, and he thought the names must meet with general approval.\n\nThe Resolution was carried nem. con.\n\nThe Bishop—Ladies and Gentlemen, I beg to propose a vote of thanks to His Excellency for initiating this movement amongst us. There is a naturalness in its coming from His Excellency, as the country we are interested in at this moment is his own, but in the matter of benevolence we know neither country, nor sect, nor creed.—(Applause.)

SIR ARTHUR KENNEDY.\n\n1872-1877.\n\nTo stop the glaring abuses to which the system of allowing a Chinese teacher's salary to every Civil Servant who applied for it was liable, Dr. STEWART, for the third time, urged (C.S.O. No. 2290 of 4th August 1874) the establishment of a Board of Examiners. This was approved by Sir ARTHUR KENNEDY and a Board was formed on 27th August 1874, consisting of the Honourable C. C. SMITH, Dr. STEWART, Mr. Russell, Mr. Wong Shing, and the writer of this Report. The Board at once drew up a Syllabus, which was subsequently enlarged and is still in force under the title \"Hongkong Civil Service Examination Scheme.\" The Board established also half-yearly examinations of all the Civil Servants drawing Chinese teacher's allowances, and of those Police Constables who applied for a certificate. It was known in the Service that the Honourable C. C. SMITH had recommended (C.S.O. No. 2612 of 4th September 1874) that the final certificate of the Board of Examiners should carry with it a permanent increase of salary, and it was believed that Sir ARTHUR KENNEDY had recommended this proposal to the favourable consideration of the Secretary of State. This created at first a rush for Chinese studies, but when it became doubtful whether any pecuniary advantage would ever be derived by ordinary Civil Servants (not being Cadets) from the study of Chinese, the ardour abated considerably. Sir ARTHUR KENNEDY then arranged with the undersigned to give each Student fortnightly lessons in Chinese and appointed him Director of Chinese Studies, the duties of which office he entered upon on 17th March 1875. The Board of Examiners was eventually gazetted (see Government Gazette 1876, p. 123) and has continued its work, with slight interruption, till the present day. But the number of officers studying Chinese and their zeal have, through the absence of stimulus, considerably decreased. The principal service the Board has rendered since its establishment is the encouragement its certificates and the slight increase of pay connected with them gave to European members of the Police Force to make themselves proficient in Chinese Colloquial. Court Interpretation was in no way affected by the Board of Examiners and remained as unsatisfactory as ever. In January 1877 an Interpreter of the Police Court objected to his being occasionally sent for to interpret in the Supreme Court, which elicited some valuable remarks from the Chief Justice, Sir JOHN SMALE. After stating (C.S.O. No. 7 of 2 January 1877) that the sole authority to appoint Interpreters in the Supreme Court is by Ordinance No. 12 of 1873, Section XV, vested in the Government, and that the right to test an Interpreter's ability is not in the Court, and remarking that on a former occasion he had offered suggestions for the improvement of interpretation which had not been acted upon, Sir JOHN SMALE makes the following recommendation:- \"It seems to me,\" Sir JOHN SMALE writes, \"that no Interpreter should be appointed for any particular Court, but that his engagement should subject him to be called on in every Court and by all Departments where his speciality is required, and that, as at Singapore, there should be a corps of Interpreters with a Chief to distribute them as wanted.\"\n\n7. Sir JOHN POPE HENNESSY.\n\n(a) State of Interpretation, 1877.\n\nNothing had therefore been done to improve the Interpretation in the Courts since the time of Sir HERCULES ROBINSON, beyond discussing schemes which were never carried into effect.\n\nThe good which Sir HERCULES ROBINSON had actually done for interpretation in the Colony consisted in his establishing Interpreterships in different departments and filling them with intelligent Chinese gentlemen from St. Paul's College and Dr. LEGGE's Anglo-Chinese College. But, as I have shown above, the treatment these native interpreters subsequently received drove the best of them out of the Service, and the consequence was that Sir JOHN POPE HENNESSY, in 1877, found matters interpretatorial as deplorably bad in Hongkong, if not worse than they were before Sir HERCULES ROBINSON's arrival in 1859.\n\nAt a meeting of the Legislative Council, held on 12th November 1877, Sir John Pope Hennessy spoke (see Government Gazette 1877, p. 527) as follows:-\n\n\"I have received reports on the state of the interpretation in Hongkong from leading merchants, from leading members of the Bar and from the Judges, recording the fact that the interpretation of the Colony is disgracefully bad. What are we to do to remedy it? Hongkong is a wealthy and prosperous Colony; something should be done to provide a proper staff of interpreters. A distinguished predecessor of mine, Sir HERCULES ROBINSON, took steps to do that. He had the great advantage of consulting with Dr. LEGGE, an eminent Chinese scholar; and acting on the advice of Dr. LEGGE, he prepared a scheme, which was sent home to the then Secretary of State for the Colonies. That scheme was approved, was carried out, and under it a few highly able and intelligent young gentlemen came to this Colony as Interpreters. Soon after they arrived, the scheme was abandoned and not one of those gentlemen is an Interpreter in the Colony. There is not a single Interpreter trained according to that scheme, and, to use the words of the reports, 'our present system of interpretation is deplorably bad.'\"\n\n(19)\n\nA\n\nprosperous Colony; something should be done to provide a proper staff of interpreters.\n\nC\n\nI append (see Enclosure F.) some documents showing still further the state of Interpretation in the Courts and in the Colonial Secretary's Office in 1877.\n\n(b.) Provisional Remedies. 1878.\n\nTo solve the Interpretation problem handed down unsettled through three successive administrations, Sir JOHN POPE HENNESSY did three things. In the first instance, he appointed Mr. BALL, a gentleman born and bred in Canton but educated in England, Oral Interpreter to the Supreme Court for Cantonese Colloquial, and thereby successfully supplied a stop-gap which answered the most urgent needs for improvement as regards interpretation in that Court. In the second instance, he invited the Director of Chinese Studies, the writer of this report, to enter the Government Service and attached him to the Colonial Secretary's Department as Translator, to act also as Chinese Secretary to the Governor, urging upon the Secretary of State at the same time the establishment of a separate Interpretation Department. This was done with a view to combine all the Interpreters in the Colony under one head, in one corps, going back, in fact, to the idea first started by Lieutenant Governor CAINE. In anticipation of this measure, Sir JOHN POPE HENNESSY had, in December 1877, removed the reception and translation of all Chinese petitions and letters on Government business from the Registrar General (Protector of Chinese) to the Colonial Secretary's Office, which enabled His Excellency to reduce the staff of the Registrar General's Department considerably. In the third instance, His Excellency submitted to the Earl of CARNARVON reports drawn up by the Judges and the leading members of the Bar with a view to revise the Cadet Scheme, and suggested reference to Dr. LEGGE in Oxford, the effect of which was an amendment of Sir HERCULES ROBINSON's scheme of Cadetships, copy of which I append.\n\nEnclosure E.\n\n(c) Revised Cadetship Scheme of 1878.\n\nThis amended Cadetship Scheme, dated Colonial Office, 8th July 1878, states its object to be \"to supply Interpreters and other civil officers in Hongkong.\" That it may supply officers who are not to be Interpreters cannot reasonably be doubted. The question therefore is, What advantage has the new scheme over the old one as regards the supply of Interpreters? This new scheme, I regret to say, also starts by stating, as the old scheme did, that the holders of these Cadetships are required to devote themselves \"for a certain time\" to learning the Chinese language. The mode of selection of candidates and the subjects of the examination which they are required to pass are pretty much the same as before. The principal deviation from the old scheme consists in requiring the Cadets, after being appointed, to remain for one year in England, and to begin learning Chinese by attending a class for students of Chinese at King's College. This is a very good arrangement, though in my opinion six months under Dr. LEGGE at Oxford would have been more to the purpose.\n\nAfter arrival in Hongkong, the Cadet will be required \"to continue his study of the language.\" The limit of two years, formerly fixed upon, has therefore been very sensibly done away with. But now comes the crucial point, viz., What is to be done with the Cadet after a few years' study? I quote the important paragraph, which indeed contains the quintessence of the scheme, in full.\n\n\"7th. As soon as he is declared by a Board of Examiners to have acquired a competent knowledge of Chinese, he will be employed either as an Interpreter or in such Department as may require his services, at a salary of $1,800 per annum without other allowances, and will be considered eligible for promotion in the Civil Service of Hongkong on the occurrence of any vacancy which he may be deemed suitable to fill.\"", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-190 - Governor Hennessy - 1880 [10-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 307352, "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": "CO129-190 - Governor Hennessy - 1880 [10-12]", "page_number": 470, "title": "CO129-190 - Governor Hennessy - 1880 [10-12]", "content_text": "0102848\n\nEnclosure in Governor Dis John Pope Hennessy's Desh: M1190 of 18th November 1880.\n\nJ...\n\nfor the Chimes in fnct it as thor: erg fars flety unlans Phys like to take the Hon.

POPE HENNESSY, C.M.G., TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE EARL OF CARNARVON,\n\nNo. 60.\n\nGOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONGKONG, 12th July, 1877.\n\nMY LORD, I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of Your Lordship's despatch* No. 51 of the 18th May, pointing out certain objectionable provisions in the Ordinance passed on the 11th of December, 1876, by my predecessor and the Legislative Council, for the deportation, branding and punishment of certain criminals.\n\n2. From my despatch No. 44 of the 23rd of June, 1877, Your Lordship will see that soon after my arrival in the month of April, and throughout the month of May, I expressed great reluctance to enforce the exceptional and severe provisions of the existing law, of which this enactment is a consolidation. I declined to regard the usual recommendation of the Magistrates on the subject, even when supported by the opinion of the Attorney General, as a matter of routine which I was bound to sanction. I looked into each case myself, and unless I was convinced it really involved the peace of the Colony and the general safety of the residents, I refused to sign the warrant of deportation.\n\n3. I have called for returns showing the real effect of the system on the criminal population. These returns are not yet completed, but as far as my enquiries have gone, they seem to justify a statement made in October 1872 by Mr. DOUGLAS, the late Superintendent of the Hongkong Gaol, in a report on branding, to the effect that when a prisoner is deported with a Gaol mark on his neck, which cannot be concealed and not removed without mutilation, it prevents him from getting an honest livelihood in his own country, or being taken as an emigrant, so that such a man is tempted to become a pirate or a robber near the shores of this Colony, upon which he is thus driven back.\n\n4. Those returns I trust soon to be able to lay before Your Lordship. Meanwhile, I enclose a list of thirty-nine prisoners branded and deported on the 22nd of January this year.\n\n5. The expediency of branding and deporting prisoners, merely to reduce the numbers in Gaol, would seem, from an examination of this return, to be somewhat doubtful. Long-sentenced prisoners, short-sentenced prisoners, prisoners whose character in Gaol is described as \"very bad,\" and those whose character is described as \"very good,\" are all treated in the same way, and sent in a batch to the mainland of China when one-third of their sentences has been worked out. This practice, which seems to have prevailed here for some years, throws some light on the defective discipline of the Gaol.\n\n6. With reference to such cases as the last on the list, where a man named WONG A-SHING, who was sentenced to three months' imprisonment and had undergone only one month, is deported and branded, I fear that the Acting Superintendent (who himself does not speak a word of Chinese) may possibly have been mistaken in reporting that the prisoner was willing to be disfigured, and marked as a thief, for the rest of his life, to get off the final two months' imprisonment. The petitions that the prisoners in such cases are called upon to sign, are printed forms in English which they cannot read. Mr. TOMLIN's letter of the 12th January, 1877, stating that he had ascertained that there were 45 prisoners who could be advantageously branded and deported, was in reply to an enquiry of the Executive as to what number of prisoners could be deported for the purpose of relieving the overcrowded state of the Gaol.\n\n( 23 )\n\nGOVERNOR J. POPE HENNESSY, C.M.G., TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE EARL OF Carnarvon.\n\nGOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONGKONG, 1st August, 1877.\n\n79.\n\nMY LORD,--As an illustration of the system that has been adopted for dealing with crime in this Colony, I enclose for Your Lordship's information an extract from the Police Report of last week. It relates to a prisoner named CHAN ON, whose case was included in the Statistics of Deportation of last year and this year, referred to in my despatch No. 73 of the 28th of July.\n\n2. According to the general system here, for the first offence in 1874 he got a short imprisonment and a flogging. For his second offence another short imprisonment and two floggings. For his third offence he was again imprisoned, and then deported in July 1876. For his fourth offence--returning from deportation--he was sentenced to be imprisoned for twelve months with hard labour: but when half his Sentence only had expired he was branded and again deported, in February 1877.\n\n3. His fifth offence, for which he will now have to be tried, is having again returned from deportation.\n\n4. The history of this prisoner (which is by no means an uncommon one) shows the want of a Government Reformatory. He was first committed to Hongkong Gaol as a juvenile offender. second committal was also as a juvenile offender.\n\n5. His speedy return after being branded and deported, illustrates a remark I ventured to make in paragraph 3 of despatch No. 60 of the 12th of July.\n\nI have, &c.,\n\n(Signed)\n\nJ.

In this way, we examined ten men, occupying two hours in so doing. We annex notes of the evidence, from which we satisfied ourselves that, if the emigrants were not free and under no contract of service, it would be impossible for us to show that they were not. Under these circumstances, we thought we had sufficiently carried out our instructions, and were preparing to leave, when His Excellency's Minute of the 26th instant was received. This was shown to the Emigration Officer, who was also informed that it would be communicated to him in the usual official way.\n\nFREDERICK STEWART,\n\nActing Colonial Secretary.\n\nJOHN GERRARD,\n\nActing Registrar General.\n\nHongkong, 26th April, 1881.\n\nNOTES OF EVIDENCE TAKEN AT AN EXAMINATION OF EMIGRANTS\nON THE 26TH APRIL, 1881.\n\nI\n\nLAM CHIU-SAM (No. 657).---I am a gardener.

I have got no assistance from any one with my passage money.\n\nIt is my own savings. I have never been abroad before. I have been in Hongkong 17 days, living in the \"Tin-i-tong.\" I have paid 50 cents for board.\n\nI had about 26 taels when I left Shek-ki. I have been at Shek-k'i from my birth. I earned about $3 a month. I am married and have two children.\n\nWONG A-CHAN (No. 712).-My uncle wants me to go to Sydney. He lives there. I paid my own passage: that is, my mother gave me the money. I am going with a brother. There are four of us going from Pák-shek. This is the first time I have been abroad. I have to return no portion of my earnings to any one for my passage. I will send money to my mother. My uncle is a coolie in the On-cheung Hong in Sydney. I am going to dig gold. I was a coolie in a cuttle-fish shop in Pák-shek. I earned a dollar a month. I brought $45 with me to Hongkong. I have been 5 days here. I lived in the \"I-on,\" Praya West, with friends. I paid nothing.

In this way, we examined ten men, occupying two hours in so doing. We annex notes of the evidence, from which we satisfied ourselves that, if the emigrants were not free and under no contract of service, it would be impossible for us to show that they were not.\n\nUnder these circumstances, we thought we had sufficiently carried out our instructions, and were preparing to leave, when His Excellency's Minute of the 26th instant was received. This was shown to the Emigration Officer, who was also informed that it would be communicated to him in the usual official way.\n\nFREDERICK STEWART,\nActing Colonial Secretary.\n\nJOIN GERRARD,\nActing Registrar General.\n\nHongkong, 26th April, 1881.\n\nNOTES OF EVIDENCE TAKEN AT AN EXAMINATION OF EMIGRANTS ON THE 26TH APRIL, 1881.\n\nLAM CHIU-SAM (No. 657).—\nI am a gardener.

I talked the matter over with my husband and being pressed for the debt, we determined to part with the girl provided $2 extra was paid.\n\nSome few days afterwards the man LEUNG A-TSIT came to our house for the child; he paid the $2 to my husband and we then, of our own free will, gave up the little girl, and he took her away. I was very sorry about it and cried. The arrangement was that he was to keep her at his own house and by and bye find her a husband. There was nothing said about selling or not selling her, no paper was made out. I several times visited her at LEUNG A-TSIT'S house and found that she was in no way ill-treated. I fancied however that LEUNG A-TSIT did not much like my coming so often to his house to see the girl.\n\nOne day in May this year A-SIN (a man employed by LEUNG A-TSIT) happening to pass my house, I called him in to have a cup of tea and he then told me that his master was going to send the girl away somewhere. A-SIN did not say anything about LEUNG A-TSIT selling the child, nor did he mention what place she was likely to go to. I told my husband what A-SIN had said to me and I asked him to make enquiries, and to prevent her being sent away. My husband afterwards informed me that he had petitioned the Government on the subject.\n\nI last saw the girl about 2 months ago and I believe she is still at LEUNG A-TSIT's house.\n\nI should like my daughter to come back, for then I could betroth her when she is old enough, and I should then probably have money enough to pay LEUNG A-TSIT.\n\nSTATEMENT OF TSANG SAN-FAT.\n\nTSANG SAN-FAT, a Stone Cutter, living at Tai-kok-tsui, British Kowloon, states as follows:-I have a little girl, 6 years of age, named LAM-KI. Some 3 years ago I borrowed of a man named LEUNG A-TSIT of the Man-wo Barber's shop near SPRATT'S Dock, the sum of $5 which with interest, (10 cents per month for every dollar), now amounts to $23. Last year, September, 1877, LEUNG A-TSIT came to me and demanded payment. I told him, I had no money, moreover that I found it very difficult to provide for my family, and therefore I could not pay. He then said, very well, you can give me your daughter instead, and when she is grown up, I will find a husband for her. No terms were then come to, but we had some more conversation about it 10 days afterwards when it was agreed that LEUNG A-TSIT should have the girl for $25, viz.: the $23 already owing and $2, which was to be paid to my wife, CHUN-SHE as tea-money, it was further arranged that LEUNG A-TSIT was not to sell the girl but get her a husband when she was old enough to marry.\n\nOn the 5th October, 1877, LEUNG A-TSIT brought me the $2 when I and my wife handed him over our daughter and he took her away. No paper was drawn up or signed at any time. My wife occasionally visited the child at LEUNG A-TSIT's house and found her comfortable and well-looked after.\n\nOne day last May, 1878, a man named A-SIN, employed as a barber in LEUNG A-TSIT's shop passed by my house during my absence and told my wife that LEUNG A-TSIT was going to take the girl away, this was told to me on my return from work, and I then went to LEUNG A-TSIT and made enquiries. LEUNG A-TSIT informed me that he thought it would be best to send the girl away he did not say where in consequence of the disturbed state of Hongkong, owing to the war between England and Russia. I told the shopkeeper about it, but after making some enquiries they did not further interfere.\n\nI then petitioned the Registrar General who told me to lay my case before the Colonial Secretary, which I did.

Now the laws of Hongkong being based on the principle of liberty of the person, the kidnappers take advantage of this to further their own plans. Thus they use with their victims honeyed speeches and give them trifling profits, or they use threats and stern words, all in order to induce them to say they willing to do so and so. Even if they are confronted with witnesses, it is difficult to show their wicked game. Now we, the undersigned, up will use natives of the Tung-kun District to track the kidnappers of Tung-kún, and although their wicked schemes are very deep, yet they will find it difficult to escape a careful search.\n\n3. The undersigned merchants, engaged here in trade for many years past, have lately noticed that the crimes of kidnapping are increasing from day to day. Many of both the kidnappers and of their kidnapped victims are natives of our native District (Tung-kún). Seeing this to be the state of affairs, it is unbearable to think that these villains take this hospitable Colony for a convenient refuge. A meeting has therefore been held and it is proposed to raise subscriptions with a view to publish everywhere offers of reward. every one who brings a kidnapper to trial, whether man or woman, provided they (the kidnappers) are Tung-kún people, and irrespective of the place to which the kidnapped persons may belong, there will be, for each person brought to trial and sentenced, a reward paid to the amount of twenty dollars, and if the kidnapped persons are natives of the Tung-kún district and the kidnappers belong to other districts, the reward will also be paid as above.\n\n4. The money raised has been subscribed by Tung-kún people and it will be settled hereafter where the money is to be deposited. But three persons of good repute will be elected to act as Managers and when any case of kidnapping turns up, as soon as the case is tried and proved, the amount of the reward will forthwith be paid by the Managers, and as regards the kidnapped persons, whether they came from far or near, the Managers will arrange and provide means for their being sent back to their homes.\n\n5. This statement has originally been drawn up, with a view to be forwarded as a petition which may be kept on record, praying that the Government issue a warrant. For the kidnappers keep their movements enveloped in secrecy, but if on information being obtained the authorities have first to be requested to send detectives to inquire or arrest, it will necessarily take some good their escape. It is therefore necessary to request the Government to issue a warrant, so that, the moment information is given, the kidnappers can then and there be given into custody on the spot, whereby the kidnappers will all at once be deprived of their resources and be unable to escape. Should this arrangement be carried out, kidnapping will soon be stamped out.\n\nTranslated by\n\nE. J.

Kidnapping is a crime which is to be found everywhere, but there is no place where it is more rife than Hongkong, nor was there a time when it developed so rapidly as of late, the reason being that there have been floods and drought alternating for some years whereby many of the people were empoverished. Thus it happened that evil disposed persons had an opportunity to set their wicked plans for inveigling and kidnapping people in operation. Ignorant women fell an easy prey to their schemes. If once they entered the trap there were but few who could extricate themselves again.\n\nNow it is proposed to publish everywhere offers of reward to track such kidnappers and have them arrested. If once they are in custody they will be severely dealt with. Perhaps these kidnappers, hearing this news, will mend their ways.\n\nThus the grace and favour of His Excellency the Governor will not only put under obligation the people of Hongkong but all the poor people of the inland districts will, with one voice, praise his goodness.\n\n2. Hongkong is the emporium and thoroughfare for all the neighbouring ports. Therefore those kidnappers frequent Hongkong much, it being a place where it is easy to buy and to sell and where effective means are at hand to make good a speedy escape.

FRANCIS, J.P.,\n\nChairman.\n\nMINUTES OF A MEETING held (in accordance with the Minute of His Excellency the Governor on C.S.O. No. 2641, of 12th November, 1878), at the Magistracy, on 28th November, 1878,\n\nat 2.30 P.M.\n\nPresent:-Dr. EITEL, Acting Inspector of Schools; J. J. FRANCIS, Esquire, Acting Police Magistrate; C. V. CREAGH, Esquire, Acting Police Magistrate; Mr. FUNG MING-SHÁN, Comprador of Chartered Mercantile Bank; Mr. SUI SHANG-KAI, Opium Merchant; and Mr. TSE TAT-SHING, Tea Merchant.\n\nAfter it had been stated that Captain DEANE had received permission to withdraw from participation in these Meetings, and that Mr. LO LAI-PING was unavoidably prevented from attending the present Meeting, the Petition addressed by Mr. LO LAI-PING and others, with its enclosure, was read, as also the Minutes on the same document, C.S.O. No. 2641.\n\nAdverting to the fact that kidnapping had always been practised in the Colony, Mr. FRANCIS then put the question to the petitioners if there was of late any special modus operandi observed in the proceedings of kidnappers differing from what had been observed and known formerly, and justifying special proceedings either on the part of petitioners or on the part of the Government or both. To this question the Chinese gentlemen present replied that there was indeed a marked difference observable in the proceedings of kidnappers of late, because they had become acquainted with the loopholes English law leaves open, also with the principle of personal freedom jealously guarded by English law, and that through this knowledge their proceedings had not only become less tangible for the Police to deal with, but the kidnappers had been emboldened to give themselves a definite organization, following a regular system adapted to the peculiarities of English and Chinese law, and using regular resorts and depôts in the suburbs of Hongkong. In support of this, Mr. FUNG MING-SHAN laid on the table two documents written in Chinese (marked A and B). One of these (marked A) contained a list of 38 different houses in the neighbourhood of Sai-ying-p'ún and Tai-ping-shán used by professional kidnappers as their regular resorts or depôts, and a list of 21 professional kidnappers whose names are given, but whose residence could not be ascertained. The other document (marked B) consists of a list of 41 professional kidnappers whose personalia have been satisfactorily ascertained. Both papers are herewith appended together with an English translation.\n\nThe Magistrates present, feeling satisfied that there was good raison d'être for some special organization to oppose this systematized sale of women and children for unlawful purposes, pointed out to the Chinese members of the meeting that one great difficulty the Government frequently met in dealing with such cases was the question what to do with women or children, found to have been unlawfully sold or kidnapped, how to restore them to their lawful guardians in the interior of China, how to provide for them in case such women or children had actually been sold by their very guardians, who, if the woman or child in question were restored to them, would but seek another purchaser, how to prevent such women and children being sold again by their guardians or friends, how to deal with persons absolutely friendless, &c. To this observation the Chinese members of the meeting replied that they were prepared to undertake this duty and overcome these very difficulties by means of an organized \"Society for the Protection of Women and Children,\" which would employ trustworthy detectives to ascertain the family relations of any kidnapped person, which would see to such persons being restored to their families upon guarantee being given for proper treatment, which in cases where restoration would not be advisable or where in the absence of relations and friends it was impossible, would take charge of such kidnapped persons, maintain them and eventually see them respectably married.\n\nThe meeting thereupon agreed that it would be desirable for the proposed \"Society for the Protection of Women and Children\" to obtain corporate existence and then authority to employ private detectives to be sworn in as special Constables, who would have to be selected and to a certain amount (corresponding to that guaranteed in the case of ordinary Constables) secured by the Society's guarantee, who would also be under the general superintendence of the Captain Superintendent of Police to whom they would, if in the Colony, report themselves daily, without however being liable to any ordinary Police duty, being entirely under the orders of the Society.\n\nMr. FRANCIS suggested to the Chinese members of the Committee the desirability of spreading in the neighbouring districts a knowledge of the English law forbidding the sale of persons and guaranteeing the liberty of the subject. The Chinese members expressed themselves anxious to do so if someone drew up a succinct statement of the provisions of the English law on the subject. The Magistrates present expressed themselves willing to draw up such a digest in a brief form and Dr. EITEL promised to translate it into Chinese for the use of the Society.\n\nThe Committee then agreed that apart from the superintendence of detectives to assist the regular Police in the arrest of kidnappers, the functions of the proposed Society would be the raising and administering of funds to pay the detectives and to provide for rescued kidnapped persons, for which an account should be published annually.\n\nThe Committee further agreed that there would be no need for the proposed Society to pay out of their own funds the rewards to be offered for the detection of kidnappers, as there is a law authorizing the payment of such rewards by the Government.\n\nThe Chinese members of the Committee then made some reference to one or two members of the Chinese Police force being suspected of being in league with professional kidnappers, but as they had no distinct proof to bring forward and would therefore, for the present, not give names, it was agreed not to go into this point.\n\nThis closed the proceedings for the day, it being understood that draft regulations of the proposed Society would be prepared for the assistance of the Chinese members by Mr. FRANCIS and, after consultation with the whole Committee, finally submitted to His Excellency the Governor together with the Minutes of this meeting and of any future meeting that may be held.\n\nE.

Soo A-su and another.\n\nIn this case I find that the boy LER A-PIU and also LAM A-TING of the Sun-kee Tailor's Shop in or near Canton, where the lad was apprenticed, both left the Colony immediately after the trial, and have not since been heard of. Possibly these witnesses might be got at through the British Consul at Canton, but without their evidence any charge brought against LAM PAK-CHEUNG the druggist could not be well substantiated,\n\nUnfortunately no other evidence is forthcoming, and Inspector CAMERON can find no trace of the man A-KAM who stole the lad at Canton, or of the woman A-NG, both of whom seem to have decamped on hearing that the Police had been applied to in the matter.\n\nThe druggist was himself the first to complain to the Police, and apparently bought the boy with no evil intention, and under the impression that he was an orphan without a home. The child too says that he never told the druggist that he had any home, and expressed no desire to leave him.\n\nThe purchase by Chinese (having no family of their own) of young orphans, and indeed of others whose parents are too poor to keep them is a social custom amongst the natives, and is of constant occurrence in Hongkong. These \"pocket children,\" as they are usually termed, are often treated with great affection and are far better off than they were previous to their being so bought.\n\nRegina v. Mak Loi-hi.\n\nWith the aid of Inspector LINDSAY, I have carefully investigated this case. CHEUNG A-KAI, and SEUNG A-LUK, 2nd and 4th defendants, discharged at the Police Court have already given their sworn testimony at the recent Criminal Sessions. Should it however after this be thought desirable to put them on trial. I think there may be sufficient evidence to obtain a conviction. LUM A-CHAN, 3rd defendant, seems to have taken a minor part in the affair, and would be required as a witness.\n\nTwo Magistrates sitting together have power to determine cases of this nature.\n\n(Signed,)\n\nEDMUND SHARP, Crown Solicitor.\n\nNo. 900\n\nTHE ADMINISTRATOR TO THE CHIEF JUSTICE.\n\nGOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONGKONG, 16th July, 1879.\n\nSIR,---I have the honour to inform you that your letter of 30th May last recommending that proceedings be taken against Lau PAT-CHEUNG and LEUNG A-LUK under Ordinance 4 of 1865, paragraphs 50 and 51, was referred by His Excellency Governor HENNESSY to the Acting Attorney General who, before making a report, asked that the papers might be referred to the committing Magistrate.\n\nI have now received the report of the Acting Attorney General as well as those of the committing Magistrate and of the Crown Solicitor and I regret to inform you that after carefully considering these reports as well as the depositions forwarded by your Honour, I do not see my way to directing the prosecutions of the two persons indicated by you, first because, with all deference to your Honour's opinion, I do not agree with you in looking upon them as the principal criminals, and secondly because I think that after the evidence of these persons has been taken before both the committing Magistrate and the Supreme Court without any warning having been given to them that their evidence might be used against them, it would appear like a breach of faith to treat them now as criminals.\n\nA perusal of the depositions which you forwarded me and which I now return does not show that either of these persons obtained possession of the children for immoral purposes. It appears also from the depositions that they were led by the statements of the prisoners who have been sentenced by you, which statements were confirmed by the children themselves to believe that one of the children had no parents and that the other was disposed of with the written consent of the father alleged to be the only surviving parent. Neither of the children seem to have been ill-treated and the Magistrate has expressed the opinion with regard to the woman LEUNG A-LUK that \"being a well-to-do woman and having no children of her own, she had purchased the child with a view of adopting her as a daughter in the belief that she did so with the father's sanction.\"\n\nShould the prosecution of these persons result in their acquittal which seems to me not improbable, I fear that the good effect produced by the severe reprimand which I understand that your Honour administered publicly to all the parties concerned in these two cases might be to a great extent neutralized.\n\nAs your Honour's letter has remained for some time unanswered, I think it only right that I should acquaint you without further delay with the opinion that I have formed on the subject of your communication. But as your letter has been under the consideration of Governor HENNESSY, whose departure for Japan prevented him from finally dealing with it, there seems to me to be no reason why the matter should not be left, if your Honour wishes it for the decision of His Excellency on his return to the Colony, when it will not be too late to take proceedings against the parties should it be thought necessary to adopt that course.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nSir,\n\nHis Honour THE CHIEF JUSTICE,\n\n&c.,\n\n&c.,\n\n&c.,\n\nYour obedient Servant,\n\nW. H. MARSH,\n\nAdministrator.\n\nTHE CHIEF JUSTICE TO COLONIAL SECRETARY.\n\nTHE SUPREME COURT, HONGKONG, 8th October, 1879.\n\nSIR, The Criminal calendar for September, 1879, was sent to you in due course yesterday. It comprises three cases, case No. 1, a conviction of LEE A-KAU for kidnapping and detaining a child aged ... years. Case No. 6, a conviction of TSANG SZ-TAU and U A-IN on two counts for kidnapping and detaining a boy Ho Po-SING with intent to sell him in this Colony, and on two other counts for the same offence as to another boy YEUNG-SHING, and case No. 9, a conviction of KEUNG A-TO for purchasing a female child TING-HENG for the purpose of prostitution in this Colony, and of LI A-KAK for having sold the same child for the same purpose.\n\nI thought it my duty on the occasion of passing sentences on these prisoners to enlarge on the crimes to which these crimes ministered the great increase of which in number had recently been brought to the notice of the Court especially slavery, usually designated domestic, and slavery for the purposes of prostitution and seeing that arguments, doubts and difficulties had been rather hinted at than fully expressed, I thought it incumbent on me to enter very fully into all the questions at a length which otherwise might be thought too prolix.\n\n21", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-194 - Governor Hennessy Administrator Tonnochy - 1881 [8-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 309384, "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": "CO129-194 - Governor Hennessy Administrator Tonnochy - 1881 [8-9]", "page_number": 45, "title": "CO129-194 - Governor Hennessy Administrator Tonnochy - 1881 [8-9]", "content_text": "THE DAILY PRESS, THURSDAY, MAY 26TH, 1881.\n\nTO THE HONOURABLE WILLIAM KESWICK.\n\nSir—The subscribers to the accompanying testimonial have confided to us the duty of its presentation, and in their names and our own of saying to you a few words of farewell. The numerous signatures appearing in the appended subscription lists, representing every class and race of this community, will afford you the best testimony of the wide-spread appreciation entertained of your public career, but it will not be out of place for us to pass in brief retrospect some of the more eminent services you have rendered the Colony.\n\nChief among these stands the able and straightforward performance of your duties in the Legislative Council, where you have for so many years held a seat. In a Crown Colony the position of an Unofficial Member of this Council is full of discouragement; having no power of initiation, and with the certainty before him of being outvoted if in opposition, his task is limited to criticism of the schemes of the Government. Your labours in this direction have been of the highest importance and utility, and more especially as a guardian of the public purse the attitude you have unflinchingly maintained cannot, we think, be very well over-estimated.\n\nThe little leisure which the pressing responsibilities of a large Mercantile House have left you, you have ungrudgingly bestowed on many other public affairs. As Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce your wide experience and knowledge of business have been of the highest value. The City Hall owes much to your care and attention. Schemes of charity and for the assistance of the poor or friendless have ever found in you a real sympathiser; and there are but few institutions organised in this Colony for humane or charitable purposes that have not profited by your liberal aid and advice.\n\nNot less worthy of mention have been your services to many of those Public Companies with which much the prosperity of the Colony has now become identified. To your power of labour, business capacity, and grasp of detail, these important concerns are in no small degree indebted for the prosperity they enjoy; and it is no slight to others to say that probably to you more prominently than any one else, is due the confidence which joint-stock enterprise now enjoys in the Far East.\n\nWe now beg to bid you farewell, and with every wish for your enjoyment of your well-earned holiday, we remain, your sincere friends,\n\nE.

POPE HENNESSY.\n\n## THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 31st JULY, 1880.\n\nin these cases it turned out that if a prisoner expressed a wish to go to Sydney, Brisbane, or any other port of Australia, the practice, Mr. DEANE said, was for the Police to see that man on board the emigrant steamer or ship, and, having seen him safely on board, to make sure, as far as they could, that he left the Colony. I think one witness-not Mr. DEANE, but one of the Inspectors-told the Committee he had seen thirty or forty, at all events a considerable number of the deported criminals, on board one ship.\n\nThe Chief Justice.-What date was this ?\n\nHis Excellency.-This used to go on regularly up to two and a half years ago, when I put a stop to the practice. I recently called for a report from Mr. DEANE upon this subject, and he says-(His Excellency read the report of the Captain Superintendent of Police, to the effect that if a deportee desired to leave for any place to which a steamer ran, he was seen on board by a Constable, who remained until his departure; if he desired to go to any native village to which a passage boat plied, the same course was pursued; if he wished to go to Kowloon City, he was escorted to the boundary and there released). The Committee of which my honourable friend (Mr. RYRI) was a member, not only took the evidence of Mr. DEANE and one of the Inspectors, but in their report they touched upon the subject, and, if I remember rightly, disapproved of the encouragement of the Emigration of Chinese criminals to Australia. However, I have not allowed that, and not one deportee has gone to Australia since my arrival in this Colony.\n\n## Extract from the “Daily Press\" of 24th November, 1879.\n\n### LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL. Hongkong.\n\nA meeting of the Legislative Council was held on 22nd November, 1879. There were present:-----\n\nHis Excellency the Governor, J. POPE HENNESSY, C.M.G. Honourable Sir JOHN SMALE, Chief Justice.\nHonourable W. H. Marsh, Colonial Secretary.\nHonourable J. RUSSELL, Acting Attorney General,\nHonourable M. S. Tonxoguy, Acting Colonial Treasurer.\nHonourable P. Ryrie.\nHonourable W. KESWICK,\n\nOn the Chinese Emigration Ordinance Amendment Bill, His Excellency the Governor said :--- Now, there was another proposed emigration about which I refused to issue my license, and that was the emigration of skilled artizans to Sydney and other parts of Australia, which Messrs. STEVENS & Co. put before me. Some members of my Executive Council appeared to think favourably of this scheme, and we had a good deal of discussion on the subject, but I adhered to the opinion which, on looking at the papers, I had originally formed that I should not relax in any way the rules of this Colony with respect to contract emigration with the object of facilitating the traffic which Messrs. STEVENS & Co. had in view. The idea of sending to Sydney or other parts of Australia a number of skilled Chinese artizans from Hongkong, would, it was pointed out to me, benefit considerably those Chinese who should be so taken, but I had to look to other considerations. I had to consider how far it was desirable for the Governor of this Colony to do anything in the way of relaxing the strict letter of the law so as to facilitate the emigration into Australia of Chinese workmen or labourers, at the very time when it seemed to me that the Governments of Australia were more or less embarrassed by this very question. Accordingly I refused to issue my license, and it happened that six or eight months after some trouble did occur at Sydney with the very steam-ship Company in question, owing to the fact that though I did not give my license in the form they had sought, yet some Chinese were conveyed in another way not in violation of our Ordinances, and the fact of these people arriving in Sydney led to disturbance and caused the local Government no small trouble.\n\nThere was another form of emigration to Sydney, Queensland, and other parts of Australia, against which I set my face in this Colony the moment I saw its possibility, or knew that it had overtaken place. That comes under the category more indeed of another subject recently discussed at this Council,--the deportation of criminals, than under that of emigration properly so called, and it is referred to by Mr. DEANE in his evidence before the Committee on Police and Crime. Mr. DEANE tells the Committee that some of the deportees or criminals who received conditional pardons were sent to Australia. The practice was: in the event of an emigrant ship being about to sail, these Chinese criminals were asked where they would like to go to, because neither the conditional pardon nor the deportation warrant of the Governor recited the place to which the criminal was to be deported; it simply stated in the one case the man was willing to leave the Colony and not to return for life, and in the other case he was ordered to leave and not return for five years, as the case might be.\n\n## POST OFFICE NOTICE.\n\n### Unclaimed Correspondence, 30th July, 1880.\n\n| Name | Letters | Registered Letters | Papers |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Adshood, E. | 1 | | |\n| Ashik, Autlerson, R.

How grand is the leading idea of the composition, emphasizing the sacredness of constitutional law! How clearly he distinguishes what is essential in the Spirit of Law, and how necessary it is to adopt the form to the changed conditions of modern times. He gives a good account of its sources, explaining its relation to precedent and to other branches of the same great subject. It is interesting to notice how guarded is the language in the declaration that the work is the faithful reproduction of former times, and yet without a slavish adherence to the mere letter, which would cause a loss of the very spirit of that which should be conserved and handed down without change of character to posterity. The argument is plain to show that Law is originally founded upon equity, and that the meaning and intention are to be held as more important than the mere letter and outward form. There is also a clear statement as to the wide application of general principles. It would be unfair to withhold the acknowledgment that the Imperial writer was sincere in the profession of a desire to be the Father of his Country and a Protector of the rights of all classes of the people. There is certainly a pleasing contrast, as has already been intimated, between the Emperors of the present dynasty and all who have gone before.\n\nFollowing the Preface is a List of the officials who formed the Committee, who prepared the work under Imperial Authority. There are more than two hundred names, the first of which is an Imperial uncle, brother of the Emperor Yung Ching; then follow the names of many high officials, Members of Cabinet, Presidents and Vice Presidents of several of the Six Boards, and eminent scholars.\n\nNext comes an Imperial Ode by Kin Lung, with a preface. The translations appended will suffice to explain their character. Attention will be attracted by the fact of the Emperor's testimony in regard to the superiority of type to wooden blocks, and his statements in regard to the invention of printing with moveable types. He was pronounced in his preference for what is new when it was shown to be a real improvement upon old methods.\n\n### An Imperial Ode, with ten rhymes, suspended in the Military Heroes' Hall, in praise of the \"Collected Gems\" (types) with preface.\n\nAn examination of the scattered documents and miscellaneous papers of the Great Statutes of Wing Loh (1403), and a careful search among the libraries that have been preserved in the Empire, shows not less than ten thousand varieties. These have been published in the \"Complete Works of the Four Libraries\" (Vide Wylie's Notes on Chinese Literature). The selection of what men seldom see, of what is profitable for the instruction of the age, and the hearts of mankind, and worthy of being a mirror for reference, these should be printed and transmitted as excellent, to teach all who come to make them a study. But the varieties are very many, and the cutting of the blocks is no easy matter. Kam Kan, the keeper of the Military Heroes' Hall, has recommended the use of living characters (types). In that case, the trouble of cutting blocks may be avoided. Again, there need be no waste of time by delay. There will be a saving of both time and labor to the advantage of simplicity and dispatch.\n\n\"It is found upon examination that it is recorded in 'The Pencil Conversations of Sham Kúi' that during the reign of Hing Lik (1141) of the Sung dynasty, there was a man named Pat Shing who made living blocks (types) out of adhesive clay; and in 'Luk Sham's Memoirs of the Golden Tower,' it is recorded that there was a man of Pi Lak (a place in the province of Kiang-sú) who made use of lead characters, but these were both inferior to wooden blocks in convenience. This was the beginning of type printing. It is to be considered that the body of those made of clay was coarse, the substance of those cast in lead was soft, and so neither were equal in excellence of workmanship to wooden blocks. Moreover, in cutting single characters to the amount of more than 250,000, although the number of varieties of books may be hundreds and tons, all are available for use.\n\nSo that it may be affirmed that, in the comparison of excellence, the modern mode is superior to the ancient. But the name of 'living character block' is not elegant; therefore, in the appended Ode, the name is changed to 'Collected Gems':-\n\n\"Searching antiquity, making researches for the Four Libraries, now all at once there are five carriages~(1). Beginning to print, thinking of after ages, there is an accumulation of blocks that might fill a house.\n\nThe Collection of the Tong College Chung Tip. The Remains of the age of Leung by Chan-man.--(2). Both were executed with types, used to print the Complete Works. Finer in appearance than the Crane's Crest, more abundant than the collection of the shelves of Ip.-(3).\n\nThe contrivance is easy of execution, no need of block-cutters, the work is doubled and without the trouble of copying. Matching shoulder pieces is a matter for precedent; the plan of moulding clay is coarse.-(4).\n\nDestroying the copper was a mistake to be regretted; cutting in wood, this shames me!-(5).\n\nNow again the work is completed and carefully collected.-(6). Completed copies are exhibited to those who come to learn, giving full satisfaction to every desire.\"\n\n### Notes\n\n1. Allusion is made here to the facts mentioned in History, that the Han Dynasty had large libraries, enough to fill five carriages when they were removed.\n2. Another historical allusion to large libraries.\n3. The \"Crane's Crest\" is explained in a note, which says: Last year, a book was presented from Kiangnan, which had Crane's Crest characters (that is a fanciful name for type), but the workmanship of the character was not good, and there were many errors in it. There is still another historical allusion to a large library.\n4. \"Matching shoulder pieces\" refers to the preparation of fur robes made of the finest pieces of the skins of animals. Some of them are very rare and of fine workmanship and so very expensive.\n5. Another note explains this reference, which says: During the time of Kang-hi (1662), an Imperial Edition of Ancient and Modern Works with illustrations was printed on plates formed with copper characters (type). After the printing, the types were deposited in the Military Heroes' Hall, for a long number of years. It is probable that some of the type had been stolen, and the officer in charge, fearing that he would be blamed, and just at the beginning of the reign of Kin-Lung, when cash was at a high premium at the Capital, so a request was made to destroy the copper type for coinage. This was granted. The gain was but little, and the loss was very great. It was a miserable calculation. Had the copper type still remained, would not the printing of books at the present time have been performed with half the amount of labor? It is very much to be regretted.\n6. Reference is made here to a misprint—the lower half of the character omitted, leaving the character \"fish\" instead of its intended meaning.\n\nIt is hardly worth while to delay to make any extended survey of the Plan of the Work and the Report of the Committee to the Throne when the work was finished, but they are not unimportant, and especially the latter is a fine specimen of Chinese thought and style, and would repay a careful study as connected with the subject in hand.\n\nThe next matter is the Index of subjects...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-202 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1882 [7-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 317904, "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": "CO129-202 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1882 [7-9]", "page_number": 155, "title": "CO129-202 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1882 [7-9]", "content_text": "# THE CHINA REVIEW.\n\ntreated in the one hundred sections or volumes of the work. They will constitute the divisions of the present essay.\n\n## Vol. 1.-Department of the Imperial Kindred\nThis is placed first in order because of the teaching of the Ancient Classics that the government of the family is the test of ability, and the true model for the government of the state. The constitution of this department is first given. Much importance is attached to the Family Registers as a subject affecting the Imperial succession, and the different degrees of kindred are marked by different titles. Many of the Imperial brothers and uncles have been distinguished. It will be found as a general rule in Oriental monarchies that the near relatives of the sovereigns have been either enervated by self-indulgence or have been kept in the background by Imperial jealousy. But this cannot be said to be the rule in the present dynasty of China. The first name on the List of Officials who prepared this work, as has been mentioned, was an Imperial uncle; a brother of the Emperor Two Kwong, lived to a great age, was high in honor and died only a few years since. His name was Mia. His title was Wai Tsfan Wong. The present position of Prince Kung, and of the Empress Dowager are good examples of what is possible in the present order of government.\n\n## Vol. 2.-Cabinet or Privy Council\nAt the head of this branch of the Government are the highest officials of the Empire. They are the immediate and responsible advisers of the Emperor. The position is the object of the highest ambition. There are four chiefs of nearly equal rank, two Chinese and two Manchus. They are sometimes called Prime Ministers, and sometimes Cabinet Officers, and perhaps correspond well with those designations in the countries of the west. Properly they should of course reside at Peking, and be in immediate and continual attendance upon the Sovereign, but of late years at least, this rule has been changed to some extent in practice. Those having this high rank have in some cases held important posts at a distance from the Capital. The famous Viceroy Yeh captured at Canton during the last war was such an instance, as also the Viceroy Sui Lun late Governor-General of Canton, and the much more illustrious Li Hung-chang the present Governor-General of the province of Chih-li. One of the associates of this high official is Pò Kwan, 寶鋆, a Manchu, who must be considered the highest in honor as occupying the place nearest the Throne.\n\n## Vol. 3.-Board of Civil Office\nThis is the first of the Six Boards, among whom are distributed the principal parts of the Government of the Empire in all its branches. In practical working the lines are not to be considered as absolutely distinct, for there is a good deal of interlapping, and it is impossible to carry out perfectly the theory of separate departments. What would seem properly to belong to one Board is often found to be managed by another, by reason of some peculiar mode of argument, or special circumstances of the times. These Boards stand in relation to the Sovereign authority in some respects like the Houses of Parliament in England, and the two Houses of Congress of the United States. True, they are not elected by the people, but they act as a check, in an important sense, upon the Imperial Will, and the action of the Government requires a concurrence of the appropriate Board and the Imperial sanction. The Board of Civil Office has charge of the promotion and degradation of all the officials of the Empire. Of course this is a very important province of Government, and it very properly takes the first place. There is no aristocratic class in China. The way of promotion to the highest official rank and position is open to all, with a few insignificant exceptions, in theory at least and to a great extent practically, by means of the public examinations. The general mode of promotion is by simple seniority, and in regular order. One who ought to know has declared that this is realized in fact, to the amount of six-tenths of all the officials in the Empire. Should this be a high estimate it can hardly be very wide of the mark. As for the remaining four-tenths, the promotion is owing to merit, purchase, and political influence.\n\nThe first subject treated is the constitution of the Board. There are two Presidents, one Chinese and one Manchu. Vice-Presidents, right and left, also one Chinese and one Manchu. Under these there is a large staff, including four superintendents.\n\n| Superintendent | Responsibility |\n| --- | --- |\n| (1.) | Superintendent of promotion and degradation-Regulations for Officials at the Capital. Regulations for Imperial Sacrifices, &c. |\n\n## Vol. 4.-Regulations for Officials of Shing King. Regulations for Provincial Officials.\n\n## Vol. 5.-Standard of selection.\n\n## Vol. 6.-(2.) Superintendent for examination of merit\nExaminations for grade of official merit. Rules in regard to Retiring from office; Reporting sickness; Merit and Demerit; Periods for holding office; Handing over office and returning home.\n\n## Vol. 7.-(3.) Superintendent for Conferring rank\nRules in regard to mourning and taking care of parents. (4.) Superintendent for giving posthumous honors.\n\n## Vol. 8.-Board of Population and Revenue\nAfter an account of the constitution of the Board with Presidents and Vice Presidents, and a large staff of officials, come the various subjects under its control.\n\n## Vol. 9.-Geographical Divisions\nProvinces, Departments, &c. Population.-Under this head a census is given, not of individuals, but of families. The figures must be much less than what would represent the present population of the Empire. For instance, that of Canton Province is declared to be only one million two hundred and forty odd thousand families. It is now estimated to have three times as much.\n\n## Vol. 10.-Land Tax\nAs compared with that of other countries is very light. The amount of land and of taxes for each province is given.\n\n## Vol. 11.-Weights and Measures\nThese are regulated by the Government. Under this head the various sizes and patterns are given.\n\n## Vol. 12.-Treasuries\nAll Government monies, receipts from taxation and duties, and expenditures of all kinds, are under the direction of this Board. The provincial Treasurers, Commissioners of Land Tax and Salt monopoly, have vast sums to receive and disburse, and the system of keeping accounts would be an interesting study. The amounts remitted to the capital are doubtless but a small proportion as the cost of the local government must be very great and absorb the greater part.\n\nGranaries.-It is interesting to notice that these are kept up in modern times. Those in the City of Canton are objects of interest to strangers. In theory they are intended to provide against scarcity, for troops &c., but doubtless in practice the little benefit derived by their existence might be attained by cheaper methods.\n\nStore houses.--The quantity of grain to be kept in hand is regulated. Each province according to the number of the population has to keep grain in store as provision for times of famine. The theory is admirable, but at the present time there is abundant testimony in illustration of the fact that the provision is utterly inadequate in practice.\n\n## Vol. 13.-Canals\nIt is a matter of regret that those ways of inter-communication have in modern times been permitted by the Government to become almost useless. \n\nPage 18\nPage 19", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-202 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1882 [7-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 317905, "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": "CO129-202 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1882 [7-9]", "page_number": 156, "title": "CO129-202 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1882 [7-9]", "content_text": "# THE CHINA REVIEW.\n\n## Vol. 14. Coinage of Cash\nIt is a singular fact that China has never possessed either gold or silver coins, and that the cash is of so very little interest. In theory at least it is an important branch of the Government.\n\n## Vol. 15. Rules for the Salt Monopoly\nIt is not strange that this necessary article of diet should produce an immense revenue when the immense population of the Empire is considered. The increase in value as the distance is counted from the place of production is wonderful. Revision in the matter of transit dues, and railroads, would introduce an immense boon to the people of the interior in this respect alone.\n\n## Vol. 16. Customs Duties\nThis includes all on the coast, on the rivers and inland. The revenue from Foreign Trade was not contemplated and is not specially provided for in this work. It affords an instance of what has often occurred in the history of other nations, of the springing up of important branches of service outside of the original intention of the constitution. Like the Foreign Trade it had insignificant beginnings, and the duties were collected by the Superintendent of the river-police at Canton, called Ho-pok-sho, of which the name Hoppo is a corruption. When it became known to the authorities at Peking that the receipts were considerable, one of the Imperial family and generally one near of kindred to the Emperor was sent to manage the business. At first the revenue was ostensibly appropriated for the purchase of cosmetics and ornaments for the ladies of the Imperial Harem, but it is well known that at the present time the receipts from this source, as foreign trade has developed and extended, have become immense, and with a prospect of great increase in the future. The origin of the Foreign Inspectorate was alluded to in the former article, and is well known. It has already an interesting history. This branch of the service affords a favorite security, upon which to hypothecate foreign loans.\n\nThe Imperial Authority at the capital has been pleased within the last few months to give the office of Comptroller of Customs and that of Tartar General to the Viceroy at Foochow. A Chinese and a native of the Canton Province. This has been a matter of surprise, as both offices have hitherto been considered as belonging especially to the Manchus alone.\n\n## Vol. 17. Sundry Taxes\nThis refers to the products of the mines, precious metals, taxes on tea, tax for sealing deeds &c.\n\n## Vol. 18. Government Grants\nThose paid to the members of the Imperial family, various officials at the capital, and in Shing-king especially those in charge of the Imperial Tombs.\n\n## Vol. 19. Remission of Taxes and Largesses in times of famine\nThis includes provision for the poor at the Capital, to whom distribution is made every year.\n\n## Vol. 20. Board of Rites and Ceremonies\nOnly a little less than one half of the whole work is included under this division. From ancient times great importance has been attached to the rites and ceremonies, not only by the official and higher classes, but in the eyes of the masses of the people they are placed first. It is a kind of religion, and has made it impossible to introduce many changes into the popular customs, as in marriage and funeral rites. The present dynasty has even in governmental ceremonies conformed very much to Chinese customs, instead of insisting upon what is peculiar to the Manchu traditions.\n\nThe chapter on this subject may be considered as the Canon Law. It is like an established religion, in which the Emperor is the Great High Priest, and the officials constitute a class of priesthood for worshipping the gods recognized by the State. Little more can be attempted in this article, than giving the subjects as they are mentioned in the Index, with brief notes. There would be wide differences of opinion among students of Chinese in regard to many points, upon the discussion of which it is not proposed now to enter. It may, however, be stated that a critical examination of these sections will be necessary to decide many important questions in dispute.\n\nThe whole subject is an exceedingly interesting study. The history, meaning, changes and necessity for some plain and sensible Code of Ceremonies are all matters of importance. It is believed that a brief examination of this portion of the statutes, and the practical result of them, will convince every honest student, that while a certain amount of outward form is desirable, a rigid system, carried out in details, is fatal to the life and development of all true sentiment, politeness and religion.\n\nThe Constitution of this Board is very much like that of the others. Presidents, one each, of Manchu and Chinese, and Vice Presidents, two each, of Manchu and Chinese; with four Superintendents.\n\n### (1.) Superintendent of Court Ceremonial Observances\n4. Propitious Rites. Attendance at Court.\n\n## Vol. 21. Attendance at Court\n## Vol. 22. \n## Vol. 23. Ceremonies connected with Ascending the Throne. Worship of Imperial Ancestors\n## Vol. 24.

Publishing Imperial Edicts. Rewards.\n\n## Vol. 28. Presentation of congratulations by officials to the Emperor and Imperial Family\nThis is very much a matter of form, for drafts are made by the officials at the Capital and distributed throughout the Empire to be sent up again to the seat of Government.\n\nRegulations in regard to Official Seals. They are cast by a special commission under the direction of the Board of Rites. Great importance is attached to them, and they carry with them great authority. Some are of silver. The Emperor has a number, others are for the Empress and various members of the Imperial family, kindred and many officials of the Capital and the Provinces. They are regarded with superstitious reverence, as having high delegated authority from the Emperor.\n\n## Vol. 29. Imperial Marriage\n1. Emperor. 2. Heir Apparent.\n\n## Vol. 30. Ceremonies connected with arriving at manhood. Ceremonies connected with putting on hat and clothes of a man.\n\n## Vol. 31. Literary Examinations\nThese relate to those after the first degree. Those for the second degree are held in the provinces, and are called \"Country examinations,\" those for the third degree are held in the Examination Hall at the Capital, and are called \"Assembled examinations,\" because collected from all the provinces, those for the fourth degree \"Imperial Hall Examinations,\" because held in the palace. These last are in the presence of the Emperor, during which the scholars sit upon the floor and write the essays.\n\nThe object of these examinations is to discover those among the people who have ability to assist in the government, and such are recommended for employment.\n\n## Vol. 38. Colleges\nThis section refers to examinations for the first degree. The District Magistrates first examine, and send the names of the greater number to the Prefect of the Department, who again recommends the greater number to the Literary Chancellor, who visits the Departmental Cities.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-202 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1882 [7-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 317907, "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": "CO129-202 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1882 [7-9]", "page_number": 158, "title": "CO129-202 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1882 [7-9]", "content_text": "# THE CHINA REVIEW\n## Superintendent of Host and Guest (Vol. 50)\nd.-Visiting Rites.

Regulations in regard to Parade. Regulations in regard to Hanting. Regulations in regard to going to War.\n\nA fair proportion of space is given to this important branch of the Government. But it is considered by Chinese scholars and statesmen as of much less importance than Rites and Ceremonies, which are expressions of justice and truth. The theory is doubtless the correct one; but in experience the Chinese deceive themselves. Clinging to the traditions of the past is not always true wisdom. The living present and the coming future are more important. If the Chinese were really honest in their profession of love of justice and truth, and truly believed what such a profession ought to imply, they would be more willing to give up the superstitions, false theories and poor method of their fathers for the better things of a Christian civilization.\n\nImperial Bounty (as for killed and wounded), Resident officials who have certain control of the aboriginal tribes in different parts of the Empire as in Yunnan and Formosa.

There are still remaining several important departments of the Government to be noticed. The first is the province of Shing King, which is considered as the home of the Imperial Family, and where are to be found the Imperial Tombs. It was the first conquest preceding that of the Empire.

The rules are altogether in the way of freedom in the criticism of the Government and the officials. In some respects they are the very highest officers in the Empire. The members of the cabinet and even the Emperor himself cannot consider themselves as free from their attacks.\n\n## Commissioner of Information.\n\nThis is the office through which pass all the memorials from the provinces, and all Imperial edicts from the throne.\n\n## Court of Appeal.\n\nThe chiefs of this Court are two, one Chinese and one Manchu. It is a kind of Court of review of the decisions of the Board of Punishments.\n\nThe Board of Punishments, the Censorate and the Court of Appeal are called the Three Law Commissioners. The officials have a fabulous animal embroidered upon their robes which signifies the stern and haughty character of their office as judges.\n\n## Court of Sacrifices (Vol. 82.)\n\nThe chiefs of this Court are two, one Chinese and one Manchu. They have charge of the worship at the Capital and the several kinds of sacrifices, as described above in the Board of Rites.\n\n## Forms of Prayers, &c. (Vol. 83.)\n\nThese are read and afterwards burned; a careful study of their contents and disposition is necessary to a right understanding of their significance.\n\n## Imperial Academy (Vol. 84.)\n\nThe constitution of this institution is two chiefs, one Chinese and one Manchu, both having the ranks of Vice-President of the Board of Rites. They have charge of the Dynastic History, Libraries, Imperial Documents, Edicts &c. The larger part of those who obtain the fourth literary degree are members of this Academy, and they occupy the most favourable position on that account for official promotion.\n\n## Dynastic Annalists.\n\nThese officials keep an account of Imperial movements and of passing events. There are twenty of them, eight Manchu and twelve Chinese. They are near the Emperor's persons, and the diaries are preserved for future reference.\n\n## Department for Reference.\n\nThe chiefs of this institution are members of the Imperial Academy, one Manchu and one Chinese. They accompany the Emperor and sometimes hold also the office of Annalists. They are applied to for precedents in the past and take part in the direction of the Imperial studies. They are supposed to be learned men.\n\n## Court of the Imperial Kitchen (Vol. 85.)\n\nThere are two chiefs, one Chinese and one Manchu. They have charge of the Imperial provisions for the table and for feasts.\n\n## Court of Imperial Retinue (Vol. 85.)\n\nThere are two chiefs, one Manchu and one Chinese. They have charge of Imperial horses through all the provinces, and the Imperial Retinue; a large number of the subordinate officials are Mongols, who are good horsemen, and probably the horses are chiefly from Mongolia.\n\n## Department of Shun Tin.\n\nAs the Government of the District of Washington is separate from that of the State of Maryland, so the Department in which Peking is situated is separate from the province of Chihli. The chief is generally a high official, who holds this office in connection with some other.\n\n## Department of Tung Tin.\n\nThis is the Chief Department of Shing King and like the previous one is one of great honour.\n\n## Court of Masters of Ceremonies.\n\nThis institution has charge of ceremonies of Court, sacrifices, and feasts. The chiefs are one Chinese and one Manchu, but the subordinate officers under them are mostly Manchus. They direct the manner of entering the Imperial presence, when to advance, when to kneel, when to rise, retire &c. They are responsible for breaches in these matters of Court etiquette.\n\n## National College.\n\nThe chiefs of this institution are one Chinese and one Manchu, but the office is held in connection with some other. The Imperial Academy, the Department of Reference, and the National College are the three departments which have principally to do with literary and educational affairs. It is to be regretted that this College at the Capital and those in the provinces are practically, in modern times at least, of little value considered as educational institutions. The instruction given is more a matter of form than anything else, and but little or no help is afforded by them to students in the way of learning and science.\n\n## Astronomical College (Vol. 86.)\n\nThe chiefs of this institution are one Chinese, and one Portuguese, the offices held in connection with some other. For many years no foreigner has held this office, but the distinguished services of some of the Romish priests, about the time this work was published, were much appreciated by the Chinese Government and people. Quite a large space is given to plates and descriptions of the Astronomical Instruments in the Imperial Observatory.\n\n## Medical Academy.\n\nThere is a large staff of professors and physicians. In theory the Chinese pay much attention to this branch of science, and it has a distinct recognition by the Government. The time cannot be distant when they will accept the theory and practice of the modern school of the West. The science and art of healing in China is very like those of the ancient world in the West. Some of the physicians at Canton have something like a diploma from this Academy which they display.\n\n## Department of the Imperial Household (Vol. 87.)\n\nThis is of course an extensive establishment. The chief is either a high Manchu official or one of the nobility, selected by the Emperor. Under the chief are seven Superintendents of as many departments.\n\n1. Superintendent of Receipts and Disbursements.\n2. Superintendent of Accounts.\n3. Superintendent of Ceremonies (Vols. 88, 89, 90.) There is a supplement attached in regard to Official Education, and Medical Dispensary.\n4. Superintendent in Charge of Parks. (Vol. 91).\n5. Superintendent in charge of Punishments.\n6.

Yes! this must be the one, and so many strokes, here we shall have it,\" but no, the oracle was again wrong. \"You see it is sometimes difficult to tell which is the radical,\" said he grimly. A third attempt failed likewise; the book was closed and hurled into a corner with the remark, \"There, Sir, you see the use of the radicals; I have been at Chinese for twenty years and can't find a simple character when I want it; good morning!\" Let not any young student who has followed me so far be disheartened by such a story. All who have achieved a position as Sinologists have experienced something of the same sort, and that not once or twice only.\n\nThe Bishop is to be complimented on his selection and arrangement of the studies for the sounds and tones of the dialect, only remarking that it is one thing to be able to give the correct tone of every individual word and quite another to connect and use them in sentences as a native does. Power to do the latter may be acquired long before the memory will enable the former to be done. The daily repetition of sentences after a teacher is of far more importance than that of single words. Children speak correctly long before they can analyse the sentences they make use of.\n\nThe remaining 30 pages of the Primer are to my mind most mystifying. If anything is worth learning in Chinese it is worth learning thoroughly. Why then should we have here put before us fragments of weights and measures, a defective list of classifiers, and a mere sprinkling of the numerical categories. Take for instance weights and measures; under the head \"length\" is inserted a very useful fragment of information that the Chinese mile is a little more than a third of an English mile. But why does Dr. Burdon put in the hero, omitting the necessary links to show what constitutes a mile or `li` and without reference also to the number of `li` forming a league or `tong-sun` which so often occurs in conversation under the form `Yat-po-...`? From land measure the `Fan` and `Kok` are both omitted (the former occurring in books, the latter more frequently in Tank-wa), whilst no mention whatever is made of Dry Measure. It must puzzle a beginner also to be told on one page that one `Lereng` is an ounce and on the next that 16 of these make 1 English lb.\n\nThe student must constantly feel when acquiring knowledge in this irregular way the uncomfortable conviction that he will have to go over it all again and seek elsewhere for a text book on which he can rely.\n\nLet us now proceed to examine the classifiers or numeratives of which Dr. Burdon only gives 60, whilst Dr. Dennys for instance enumerates 72, Lobscheid 75, and Dr. Eitel 81. It is very difficult to understand on what principle any should have been left out, or if any are deemed superfluous what has governed the selection. These surely: `札塲重欵行頁嚿羣片部本雙啖笪點團隊,段,席餐圓層` are as important as some which duly appear. Why, again, are some translated, whilst others are not? Such want of system is very irritating to the earnest student, sending him again and again to the very dictionary whence these are said in the Preface to have been extracted to be put into more convenient form.\n\nIn one place `Chung` is wrongly given as the numerative of affairs, it should be `Kien` according to Dr. Williams. Again, Dr. Burdon makes a mistake when he places it as the classifier of bridges, rivers, doors &c. It is undoubtedly right as the classifier for an Imperial decree, but in the other cases the correct character is undoubtedly `條` *Things in handles, heavy showers, a series, sections, things in rows, strips, lumps, Rocks, slices, volumes, acts of plays, couples, month-ful, spots, dots, clods, groups, sentences, feasts, meals, circles, stories of houses*.\n\nThe numerous examples given under many of the best known classifiers will no doubt be very useful, but here again we miss any indication of the various values of the several examples. Many expressions, common and uncommon, are mixed up in the same group, the student being left to pick his way as best he can without a note to guide him. We miss, for instance, `對對yal, tai hái, a pair of scrolls`, a most common expression; whilst `to` in connection with house and pagodas would not generally be understood; - `Zyat, shi man táp`, would be recognised everywhere, which would not be the case were `yat, two2 ráp` used. Under `ting` it is marked that the colloquial pronunciation of `mo'` is '`mò`, the `ha hüy shing` being changed to `sheung sheung shing`, but it should also be remarked that at Canton the `sheung sheung shing` is used for the little round summer-cap, whilst the `ha hüy shing` is always used for the massive rain-hat.\n\nAfter the classifiers Dr. Burdon gives the \"Groups or families of words,\" or as Mr. Mayers calls them in his most valuable Manual, \"Numerical Categories,\" and recommends the learner to be ever on the watch for them. Let the reader try to picture if he can his feeling of disgust if, after some months of laboriously collecting what he could of these according to advice so given, he were to discover that a magnificent collection already existed of over 300 in an easily accessible form, with references also to the authorities to be consulted for information about them. I can hardly think that Dr. Burdon is really unaware of the existence of the Chinese Reader's Manual, or he would surely not have contented himself with so poor a collection, between fifty and sixty only, when hundreds were at hand.\n\nAmongst these which he gives some are introduced which only occur in books, which would by no means be recognised by natives as belonging to the authorized Categories; these ought to be kept by themselves, e.g. the \"four knowledges,\" p. 42, \"four moral diseases,\" or \"four miserable classes.\" These groups are not known by these titles, and it is calculated to mislead the student rather than help him, to place them in the midst of other well-known categories: `西民四業` are given as titles for the four classes of people; the first character, I believe, is quite erroneous, it should be `庶`. Whilst the second title is not used as it stands but is an unauthorized contraction for `四樣事業`: `四民` by which are indicated four popular pictures called the `漁樵耕讀`, that is to say the fisherman, woodcutter, farmer, and student.\n\nThe `六合` should read `東南西北上下`, and be termed the six cardinal points, whilst those the Bishop gives with zenith and nadir instead of `上下`, should be named `luk kik` or six Limits of Space (Mayers, p. 322 and 323). It should also be pointed out that both of these titles have other and different groups under them, as have several other of the titles given in the Primer., e.g. `帝` the Bishop calls `五帝`, and `堯舜`, `堯` and `舜`. But most people would understand the reference to `文昌` and the gods of literature and war, `關帝`.\n\nThe or five grades of mourning present one of the most hopeless muddles I have ever seen in an educational work, the Bishop giving them as `三年期大功` (which he gives as 5 months); `小功` (which he calls 3 months) and `緦麻` light mourning. Dr. Williams, p. 461, under `服` gives the correct period for `大功` and `小功` as 9 months and 5 months respectively, and p. 834 the fifth grade as 3 months mourning for the fourth generation; whilst Legge's Classics, Vol. I, p. 83 note, give us the proper names for the first and second...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-202 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1882 [7-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 318154, "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": "CO129-202 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1882 [7-9]", "page_number": 406, "title": "CO129-202 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1882 [7-9]", "content_text": "## Signatures\n\nStamped and signed by :-\n- Kin Lung, Sims Kiu, Stopsting, Wing Br, Kwong Shan Sai, Kroons bring thins.\n\n- Kain Sai Lyng, I & chiring, To Long Jai, Stam ta, Un Fat, Lai thing, Kwong Jian Openny, i mokyms, Jei Jume Emm, Man Sting Chan, ch'éime ting, eban ch, Shun Sling Song, lui Spenny, Lui Lyng Like Chan, Kwong tantum, I tik tong, Kwong Lying Un, Kwong Fuck tro, Shin Yout, Luk Jai, Molun, Thin Lym, Jung Jak chán, Sai Frankie, Sai Stany, Favory Sung, Sowanding Lung, Thwony Stamisting, Sting Ki, On Fat bring, Chúng bạn thậm, Kwan Soking Shing, Kam Le, enny, J'ai, San Sai 14.\n\n### Pawnshops\n- Chi King, Pawnshop, Spun-Shins Pawnshop - Hingstang, Steung Jai, Pawnshop, Sun Stans, Lan Sai Lyme, Hang, Pawnshop, But Shany Pawnshop, Ski Lying Pawnshop, Kwan J'ai Pawnshop, Hi Chiering, Tamashop, Fuck in th' myker, Ly Jai ding hi eming to Sin Un exeung ki.\n\n- Sai Shang, Pawnshop, Shang Pai Mrs., Un, Min ch'ems, Kü Ün, Spring in Sins Ki, Thin Sting Linnaker, Shan thirung Lung thi, King Penny Pawnshop, King Mr., Wing J'ai f'eing, Kwong but kung Yan thi, Kain, Kisor of Un thing, Man Slim Shinghi, trai bon, ü Shun, Min üm, Shang Un, Po Fung Ch'inns, Lowong Thi Li, Mán ün, Kwong Lung, Ching Ling, We to, Jak Un.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-202 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1882 [7-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 318155, "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": "CO129-202 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1882 [7-9]", "page_number": 407, "title": "CO129-202 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1882 [7-9]", "content_text": "# 401\n\n**Lisnaturel-**\n\nWai Yuk.\n\nLine On.\n\nLinns tra-ting Ăn chua hai và trang trong\n\nLang Bou Spring-u.\n\nYing Sabong 'chi.t'in.\n\nSau Phụng chung trong chịu chiêm Frans Kwan-t'ong.

The tables of statistics were sent in on the 30th ultimo.\n\nThe beginning of the year 1880 found us still making shift to carry on the work in the old Lock Hospital, into which the Establishment was moved after the great fire in 1878. The defects of this building and the difficulties encountered in it have been mentioned in my two last reports, so they need not be here repeated. Matters came to a climax on the 7th July, when 15 patients presented themselves for admission, and four of them had to be sent away for want of space. The new Lock Hospital adjoining the old building, had recently been completed, and this was handed over to the Civil Hospital Establishment and opened for the reception of patients on the 9th July.\n\nThe new Lock Hospital may be described as containing on its upper floor one large ward 60 feet square, divided into three compartments by two parallel walls, with free communication between the compartments by means of windows and doors.\n\nOn the ground floor are sundry rooms used for the accommodation of the Assistant Superintendent, Apothecary and Analyst, Steward and one Wardmaster, and some of the nurses and coolies deposit their beds about the staircase and passages for want of other sleeping room.\n\nThe plan on which the ward upstairs is constructed is a most objectionable one, but the compartments, such as they are, have been utilized for thirty beds. Each compartment contains ten, and the average space for each bed is 105 square feet and 1,600 cubic feet.\n\nThis is a fair amount of space, but the circulation of air is very much impeded by the close proximity of the building to the larger edifice immediately above it on the south side, and in the hot summer months, when the upper Hospital is cool and breezy, the atmosphere in the lower is still and oppressive.\n\nThe ventilation is also much obstructed by the old wooden hut on the west side, in which some of the Chinese attendants are accommodated, pending the construction of a proper dormitory.\n\nA dormitory for the Chinese attendants with cooking and washing conveniences, &c. is very much needed both for the preservation of health and of discipline. Attention has been called in previous reports to two dangerous nuisances; one of them a public latrine adjoining the Hospital is now removed, but the other, which was the practice of sending annually about 120 dead bodies to the Hospital mortuary, still remains. There is as yet no public mortuary in Hongkong, and the patients in the Civil Hospital are still exposed to danger and discomfort from the offensive state of some of the bodies deposited in their immediate vicinity.\n\nThe roadway up to the Hospital from the Queen's Road has been improved, but the lower extremity is not enclosed, and there is no gate and no porter's lodge. At present the porter is able to exercise but little control over the ingress and egress from the Hospital, and for the protection of Hospital property, as well as for the control of patients and the discipline of the Establishment, this entrance should be properly enclosed and a gate and lodge erected. Moreover, there is nothing now to prevent coolies and others from defiling the road, and this is done to a great extent.\n\nIn July, when the new building with its thirty beds was added to the Hospital Establishment, the staff was necessarily increased, and a second Surgeon and an European Wardmaster added.\n\nThe services of Mr. L. P. MARQUES, L. R. C. S. I., &c. were obtained to carry on the duties till permanent provision could be made, and Mr. G. R. DAVIDSON was engaged as Wardmaster. Mr. DAVIDSON left the service at the end of two months, and since then the Hospital has got along as well as it could without an European Wardmaster. It was not easy to find an efficient and trustworthy man to fill the post, and the difficulty has been avoided by leaving it vacant.\n\nThe Steward, Mr. SENNA, caused a great deal of trouble by his inefficiency and by shortcomings in his accounts, and he was interdicted from duty on the 21st December. Mr. McCALLUM, the Apothecary and Analyst, has been good enough to undertake the charge of the Hospital monies, and the troubles of the past year in this respect will not be repeated.\n\nThe Hospital Register for 1880 records 1,103 cases: 48 of these comprising superficial injuries with one fractured wrist, five cases of dogbite, and one of opium poisoning, were treated in the surgery and then dismissed; and one was brought in moribund and died in twenty minutes. There were 37 cases at the end of 1879, so the number of patients treated in Hospital during 1880 amounted to 1091. Of these 602 were Police Constables, and the remaining 489 were made up of seamen, private residents, destitutes, prisoners, members of the Chinese Customs and Revenue Services, and seamen from foreign ships of war.\n\nThe number of Police sent to Hospital in 1880 was 588, and 14 remained over from 1879, so there were 602 constables under treatment during the year. In 1879, the numbers were respectively 570 and 5, making a total of 575 treated in 1879.\n\nThere was thus an increase of 27 Police patients in 1880: the Europeans sending 27 more to Hospital, the Indians 28 more, and the Chinese 28 less.\n\nA reference to Table III shows that while the sick from Aberdeen were diminished by 44, from the Central district, including the Central, Nos. 5, 8 and 9 Stations, there was an increase of 77. There was a diminution of 11 from the Water Police Hulk, Tsim-sha-tsui and Wanchai, but the number, 89, is still large.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-203 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1882 [10].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 318825, "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": "CO129-203 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1882 [10]", "page_number": 382, "title": "CO129-203 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1882 [10]", "content_text": "## 381 \n\nMessrs A.

BAN HAP AND OTHERS.\n\nThe Attorney-General (Hon. E. L. O'Malley) and Mr. Francis, instructed by Messrs. Brereton and Wotton, appeared for the plaintiffs; Mr. Hayllar, Q.C., and the Hon. Ng Choy, instructed by Messrs. Sharp, Toller, and Johnson, appeared for Ban Hap and four other defendants; and Mr. McKean, instructed by Messrs. Stephens and Holmes, appeared for the remaining four defendants. Mr. Hayllar continued his opening speech for the defendants and referred to the minute book of the company as showing that the plaintiffs had taken their part in the management of the company and that nothing had been done behind their backs. Among other minutes read was the following, dated 2nd March, 1879—“As to the bidding for the opium licence in British Hongkong, it was known that the foreigner Pitman was a very good friend of the Governor. Now, having through him obtained the opium licence (or company), it is proposed to pay a bonus (or premium) to him. Now, we have agreed with Pitman and settled with him that the bonus or premium for the three years should be $15,000, which we intend to pay him in one lump sum. The various gentlemen are hereby informed of this so that they may decide and sign their names as proof.” This was signed by the directors. Having concluded his address, Mr. Hayllar proceeded to call evidence.\n\nMr. Tan King Sing said—I am one of the defendants and a merchant, living at No. 16, Bonham-strand West. I came from Saigon with Ban Hap's power of attorney. I was ordered to tender, and did so on the 17th January, 1879. Pitman wrote out the tender. Mr. Ban Hap was then in Saigon. I did not dream of an opposition when I tendered. Having got it I became one of the Man Wo Fung. I wired Ban Hap and he came. After he came the Man Wo Fung was got up. Ban Hap got it up. I took thirty shares. I represent four others. I am a Fokienese born at Singapore. I do not speak Cantonese, but communicate with my co-directors through interpreters. The directors were Ban Hop, Cheong Hong Lim by his attorney Chow Yu Moon, Mok Sa Yeong, Ng Mun Kwan, Tam Yak Shan, the plaintiffs Ko Leong Yuen and Lai Tai U, and Chow Yu Moon. He was the treasurer. Ban Hap was the chief president and looked over everything when he came. He kept the register. Choong Hong Lim's attorney looked after local consumption. The two plaintiffs examined the opium for exportation. We made at once a first call of $250. The second call of $250 was then made, but very late. The third call was made, of $100, at the end of the eleventh moon. The four plaintiffs have not paid $900. The whole directors had the management. It was not successful. The accounts have been made up. The losses for the first year were more than $150,000. The old farmers had boiled more than they consumed the last few months and flooded the markets. The opium passed through this harbour from Shanghai, prepared at Macao. The old farmers went to Macao when we got the licence. They boiled there and competed with us. We were promised by Pitman that the Government would stop the loss. It did not stop it, and caused the loss. The opposition at Macao was the San Yee, composed of the Chap Sing and Yau Wo. We were carrying on business against great opposition. We found out losses in the eighth or ninth moon. These were losses on exportation. Our opium was not in demand so much as San Yee's. The two plaintiffs came to us and said we must return the monopoly to the Government or not to pay the monthly fee. They were willing to have the $10,000 forfeited and they abandoned their directorship. This was the middle of October, 1879. Ban Hap himself was then at Amoy. On the 6th or 7th of the ninth moon (21st October) Ng Mun Kwan wired Ban Hap. He came a few days after. The first two plaintiffs came to him. There were several there. Tam Yuk Shan said we must return the monopoly. Ban Hap said—“We shall lose the $50,000.” He said, \"Never mind, we shall be losing more if we continue.\" Ban Hap said the licence was in his name and he would go on until the end of the term as best he could. The exhibit I is the register of shareholders in the Man Wo Fung. Tam Yuk Shan holds no shares in that name, but as Tse Yae Tong. Ko Leong Yuen has sold no shares; he is there as Sun Yoo Fong. When the plaintiffs met Ban Hap and saw that he did not yield, Tam Yuk Shan sold some of his shares. He sold eleven shares on 21st November. Ban Hap sent to enquire as to what he had heard about the Yan Wo and Chap Sing quarrelling. They were selling shares on the eighth day of the 10th moon and Ban Hap made enquiries. Shok Shong Chan was the negotiator. We had a meeting on the 5th February, 1880. Ban Hap called the meeting of those who wished for an amalgamation. Over twenty attended. It was held at No. 16, Bonham-strand West. The resolution was reduced into writing by the accountant Lau Ka Wan. I produce the minute book of the old company. All the shareholders present signed the draft agreement produced. There are twenty who signed. It was discussed and everyone had their say. It was all agreed and they signed it. After the meeting Ban Hap kept the agreement at the office. A few days after it was written Ko Leong Yuen and Lai Tai U went into the office where Ban Hap, I, and Ng Man Kwan were sitting, and asked for the document to copy. Ban Hap got up, opened his box, got it and gave it to Ko Leong Yuen. The latter handed it over to Lai Tai U and they both went away.\n\nThe agreement never came back. Wong Yeak Ho was sent for it by Ban Hap. It was taken away before the agreement of 9th March was drawn up, and we did not know how to set about drawing it up; we had to do it from memory. Dissent was expressed before the agreement of the 9th March. The two plaintiffs objected. They said this was wrong and that was wrong, but did not show any particular thing to be altered. Between 23rd February and 9th March there was further negotiation with the Yan Wo, by Shok Shing Chan. So far as I know there are no other shareholders unfavourable to the amalgamation but the plaintiffs. Since the amalgamation the company has prospered greatly and made profits. The profits for eight months are $32,000. Since the amalgamation the price of selling has been reduced from $70 to $50 from the last March. We made a yearly statement of accounts at the end of the first working year. They were distributed and sent by the accountant to the plaintiffs. I never heard of any objection to those accounts before the 23rd August. Tam Yuk Shan brought me the minute book with a minute in it regarding the Man Wo Fung and asked me to sign it. It is dated 7th June. He must have got it from the accountant. Since the 1st March, 1880, the two plaintiffs have come to the office. Ko Leong Yuen comes now nearly every day to see his friends and get information. No one has ever prevented the plaintiffs taking part in the management of the company. They do business with the Man Wo Fung. They buy opium for exportation. During the last few months of 1879 we borrowed money to pay the license fee. Altogether $65,000 was borrowed.\n\nThis closed the witness's examination-in-chief and the further hearing was adjourned until this morning.\n\nPage 585", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-207 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1883 [1-3].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 321219, "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": "CO129-207 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1883 [1-3]", "page_number": 596, "title": "CO129-207 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1883 [1-3]", "content_text": "772\n\nHe gave some figures showing the amount of Opium that was prepared.

W. H. Marsh, C.M.G., at Government House. The presentation was made by the Hon. P. Ryrie, who was accompanied by upwards of eighty of the signatories, representatives of every class and nationality in the Colony being present.\n\nHon. P. RYRIE, in making the presentation, said—Your Excellency, the pleasing duty has been assigned to me of presenting to you a numerously signed address from the community of this Colony. When I state that this has been a spontaneous movement on the part of all classes in the colony, I state what is absolute fact. I believe that I may be considered the oldest British resident in the Colony, and during the period of my stay here, I have taken part in a good many demonstrations of this kind, and I can truly say that I have never seen more anxiety displayed by its inhabitants to testify by their signatures the feelings they entertained of your high abilities as the head of its executive. (Applause). The address, as you will observe, is numerously signed by all nationalities, but there are still a number of gentlemen anxious to join it who from press of time have not had an opportunity of doing so. With your kind permission their signatures can be appended hereafter. (Applause.) I shall now, with your permission, proceed to read the address:\n\nTo HIS EXCELLENCY THE HONOURABLE WILLIAM HENRY MARSH, C.M.G., THE OFFICER ADMINISTERING THE GOVERNMENT OF HONGKONG, &c., &c., &c.\n\nSIR, We, the undersigned non-official members of the Legislative Council, Justices of the Peace, Members of Professions, Merchants, Bankers, and Residents in Hongkong, desire to convey to Your Excellency on the approaching termination of your Administration of the affairs of the Colony an expression of our esteem and regard as well as of our sense of the admirable and effective manner in which you have discharged the duties of your high position.\n\nThe vigour which has been displayed in every department of your Government, the introduction of numerous measures of useful legislation, and the rapidity with which urgently required public works have been promoted and pushed forward within the short period during which you have held office, make evident to us the eminent capacity for affairs which you possess, while the equal administration of executive authority dispensed by you without fear or favour and with a steadfast regard to the public welfare has inspired all classes of our mixed population with complete confidence in the firmness and justice of your rule.\n\nYou have made Government House the centre of social attraction by the liberal and graceful hospitality which has been accorded to the community.\n\nWe are pleased to learn that the Public Service of the Colony will not be deprived for some time to come of your valuable co-operation and that you will resume your former post as Colonial Secretary. We trust that when you do leave us it will be on the occasion of your appointment to higher office under the Crown to which your long and able public career have so well qualified you.\n\nWith the assurance of our profound respect. We have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient servants,\n\n[Signatures follow]\n\nP. Ryrie\n\nF. Hugeloy Johnson\n\nE. R. Belilios\n\nAlfred Lefeber\n\nWm. Danby\n\nJohn Thurburn\n\nS.

I feel I have done nothing to deserve the manifestation of kindly feeling towards me that you have exhibited to-day, for I have really done nothing more than I consider was strictly my duty. If I had done anything less I should have been deserving of reproach instead of praise. It is a very great gratification to me to see such an amount of kindly feeling and regard displayed towards me by the community of Hongkong. I have always received the greatest kindness in Hongkong, both on a former occasion and since my return twelve months ago, and I assure you the period I have resided in this colony will always be looked back upon by me as one of the brightest and pleasantest experiences of my life. (Applause). I will, with your permission, now read my reply to this address:—\n\nGENTLEMEN,—The address which you have just presented to me on the occasion of the approaching termination of my Administration of the Government of this Colony is most gratifying to me and is highly prized as conveying the assurance that whilst endeavouring strictly and impartially to carry out the important duties with which I have been entrusted, I have had the good fortune to secure the esteem and regard of a large number representing all classes of the community of Hongkong.\n\nWhen I assumed, twelve months ago, the duties which I am now about to hand over to a new Governor, I did not expect at the end of my term of office to receive so flattering a testimonial, nor could I have hoped that the impartial discharge of my duties would have received such general, and, to me, acceptable public recognition.\n\nAny success I may have had is in no small degree due to the hearty co-operation that I have at all times received from members of both Councils and from the members of the Civil Service generally. Without their aid my task would have been a much more difficult one than it has proved to be.\n\nI beg to thank you all most unfeignedly for your kind wishes and to assure you that I have and shall always retain the highest appreciation of the honour you have conferred on me by presenting me with this address.\n\nW.

Poesnecker, A. Gultzow, J. Lapraik, C. D. Bottomley, H. L. Dalrymple, Douglas Jones, J. Thorburn, F. H. Arjuna, J. P. McEuen, R. Lyall, J. S. Cox, J. A. Mosely, H. J. H. Tripp, A. B. Johnson, J. J. Francis, E. C. Wilcox, J. Grant, J. G. Smith, D. E. Caldwell, A. K. Travers, A. E. Vaucher, H. A. Woolnough, W. Doulau, &c., &c. A large number of the most influential Chinese residents were also present, among whom we noticed Messrs. Leong On, Wei Yak, Lee Sing, Lee Tak Cheong, Ho Mei, Wong Shing, Chan Quan Ei, &c., &c. \n\nThe CHAIRMAN opened the proceedings by saying-Gentlemen, I was asked by some of the leading members of the community a few days ago to take the chair upon this occasion; and I was only too happy to consent to do so, the objects of the meeting having my warmest sympathy. Before proceeding with the business of the meeting, however, I think it would be advisable that we should appoint a Secretary to take down the minutes of the proceedings, so that a proper record may be preserved, and that before we proceed with the business, we should ask him to read the notice calling the meeting. I would therefore suggest that Mr. MacEwen be appointed Secretary-(Applause)-and then we will ask him to read the notice and proceed to business. \n\nMr. A. P. MacEWEN-I shall have very much pleasure in acting as Secretary on this occasion; but I may mention that Mr. George had kindly consented to act as Secretary only unfortunately he has gone to Macao to-day, and will not be back till Monday. \n\nMr. MACEWEN then proceeded to read the notice convening the meeting. \n\nThe CHAIRMAN-Gentlemen, you have now heard the notice read convening the meeting and the objects for which it is to take place. It is called for the purpose, as you have heard, of discussing the question as to whether or not a memorial should be erected to the memory of the late Sir Arthur Kennedy, and to decide, if that be the general opinion of the meeting, what form that memorial shall assume. It will be within your recollection, gentlemen, that within the last few days we received the sad news of Sir Arthur's death-news which reached us under peculiarly affecting circumstances. Sir Arthur Kennedy, at the close of a long career spent in the public service, had at last retired in order to enjoy some period of rest at the close of his life; and you know, gentlemen, that after leaving Queensland and before arriving at Aden he died--about 100 miles this side of Aden-without ever reaching that rest to which he had looked forward. Those circumstances render his death a very touching one; and to us, who knew him so well, it is the more deeply so. We all of us, I believe, remember him with feelings of esteem and affection. It was shortly after I came up from the Straits Settlements I learned, much to my disappointment, that Sir Arthur Kennedy was then leaving. His parting with us occurred within these walls, and many of you were present on that occasion. Those who were present at the farewell banquet given to him will well remember the feelings with which we then parted with Sir Arthur Kennedy on his leaving us to assume the Government of Queensland. Those feelings, I believe, have not been lessened, but on the contrary, notwithstanding his absence, have remained firm; and I feel sure there are many still amongst us who feel for him the same feelings of attachment which were given vent to him. In my own experience, I know of many who were brought forward by Sir Arthur Kennedy simply for their devotion to the public service, and many of whom are now fulfilling important duties not only in the colonies, but even in the mother country itself. With regard to the general community I think I may safely say that Sir Arthur Kennedy endeared himself to all. He was always ready to see anybody and always ready to discuss any question of private or political importance. He was always ready to give an answer to any question that was laid before him, and when you got an answer from Sir Arthur Kennedy, you might rely upon it he meant what he said (Applause). Gentlemen, these qualities in a Governor are qualities which are, in my opinion, more to be desired than even the most brilliant intellect (Applause). In saying these few words with regard to Sir Arthur Kennedy, it is with no desire on my part to pronounce an eulogium upon his conduct or character. Gentlemen, in this Colony no eulogium is required. The presence of so numerous an assembly shows full well that you all appreciated him; and I must say this, that I think your presence here to-day reflects honour upon yourselves as well as upon the Governor whose death was so deeply lamented, because it shows that in this community at all events public and private virtues are appreciated. It is some years now since I first made the acquaintance of Sir Arthur Kennedy. I joined him first on the West Coast of Africa as Queen's Advocate, and for some time I was intimately connected with him in all concerns of a public nature. I cannot speak so much of his conduct here from personal experience, because I was with him for so short a time, but during the period I served with him as Queen's Advocate on the West Coast of Africa I will say this, that no man could have more conscientiously performed his public duties than Sir Arthur Kennedy did (Applause). I followed in his footsteps some time afterwards and went to the colony of British Columbia. There I heard on all sides the same account of Sir Arthur's services. Whilst he was Governor here, I once or twice met him as he was passing through the Straits Settlements; the last time I met him, I am sorry to say, was just after he had heard the news of Lady Kennedy's death, which, as you all know, occurred while he was Governor of this colony. Sir Arthur, I believe, was never the same man afterwards. I came up here only to find, as I said before, that he was leaving this colony for Queensland. Now, with regard to Sir Arthur's character and so forth, it is not for me to discuss it; questions of politics would be out of place so far as I am concerned, but nevertheless, gentlemen, I think you will all agree with me that Sir Arthur Kennedy was a fine old English or Irish gentleman of the old school-the terms are synonymous-and that he performed his duties to the best of his ability, and with a conscientious desire to do what he considered right to all sections of the community without favour or distinction (Applause). That is the character he has acquired in every part of the world where I have known anything of him. With regard to the members of the Civil Service, I can appeal to those present in this room, and I can say that with regard to them Sir Arthur Kennedy was invariably just and straightforward (Applause). He always gave every man the credit of doing what he considered best for the public good, if he (Sir Arthur Kennedy) believed that he did so. Otherwise, if he found that anybody was endeavouring to shirk his duty in the service, he had, as I myself know, sometimes rather a hard time of it. With regard to the civil servants of this colony, Sir Arthur Kennedy told me before I came up here that there was, he believed, as able a set of civil servants in Hongkong as there was in any part of Her Majesty's dominions (applause) and that he found from experience he was quite able to leave a great many things to them which would have been spoiled by his unnecessarily interfering. These same remarks Sir Arthur Kennedy repeated when he was leaving this Colony, at the banquet which I have referred to. You all remember what he then said-\"If I have been able to effect any good in the public service, I owe it to the gentlemen by whom I was surrounded and who have so ably assisted me.\" Well, gentlemen, I think, speaking for the public service generally, that all those who performed their duty to the public invariably found a lead in Sir Arthur Kennedy, and that is one great reason why the members of the Civil Service were all so much attached to him.\n\nPage 367\n\n171", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-210 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1883 [6-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 323105, "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": "CO129-211 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1883 [8-9]", "page_number": 462, "title": "CO129-211 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1883 [8-9]", "content_text": "# Appendix B.\n\n## BLOCKADE OF HONGKONG.\n\n### Proposed Basis of Settlement by the Hongkong Government, in 1877.\n\n1.

The two Permits to fishermen which I produce were obtained by my shop early this year. They were got from the Yan-wo Tong, No. 107, Praya West. A man called Cheng is the master. It was established this year. It is a Salt Farm. Fishermen belonging to Hongkong must get such Permits before they can salt fish. Each Permit costs 1 tael 9m. 8 can. — $2.75. The Permit holds good for a year and it costs the same sum at whatever period of the year it is issued. The Yan-wo Tong has 2 cruisers. They are not steamers. They give notice to the fishermen that they must get permits. Formerly they were issued at Nam T'au by the Pang Shing Farm. The Yan-wo Tong is a branch of the Farm. The branch was formerly at Cheung Chau, but it is now removed to Hongkong.\n\nThe Salt Commissioner of the two Kwang superintends the whole Salt Revenue, but he farms it out to a farmer. This practice of issuing Permits has gone on for many years. I have been 43 years in Hongkong and this practice has prevailed all this time. No fishing junks connected with the Colony can go beyond the limits of the Harbour to catch and salt fish without a permit. The catching of fresh fish is not interfered with. There are only cruisers. Both are armed. One is large. The other is smaller. They sometimes anchor off the Parade Ground and sometimes off Yau-ma Ti. The lowest Permit is for 100 catties of Salt at any one time; but permits can be obtained for any quantity at a proportionately increased cost. Permits are sometimes issued for half a year, or for any short period, but generally they are issued for one year.\n\nThe Permits cost more this year. Last year, a Permit for 100 catties of Salt cost $2. This year it costs $2.75.\n\nThe Staff of the Yan Wo consists of 4 or 5 clerks. I have no idea of the amount of money they take in a month.\n\n25th April, 1883.\n\n(Signed) P. STEWART,\n\nLI CHI-SHANG, Manager of the Yan-wo Tong, No. 167, Praya West.\n\nMy firm trades with Shanghai in mat-bags, sandal wood and sundries. It has been in Hongkong since the fourth moon of last year. The San On Salt Farmer is my friend. For the convenience of boats and to oblige the Farmer, I sometimes issue Permits, and collect the money, I do not know the Farmer's name. It is my friend Pün, living in Canton, who knows him; and it is through Mr. Pün that I do what I do, to oblige the Farmer. I believe the Farmer lives at Nam Tau. It may be that licences are, or were issued at Cheung Chau, I am not sure. I know licences are issued at Nam Tau. I know nothing of the two fishermen who presented a Petition about their fish. The fish was never stored in the Yan-wo Tong. I do not know why fishing junks connected with Hongkong should pay taxes to Chinese Government. I am only acting as a friend.\n\n1st May, 1883.\n\n(Signed)\n\nF. STEWART.\n\n( 23 )\n\n460\n\nThe two fishermen from Shau-ki Wan who presented the Petition did not get back their fish lest it should form proof against the Yan-wo Tong, but they got $40 in money.\n\nLately I have heard that one of the cruisers took away a boat's nets, and a girl from another boat. They took also from a third boat about 21 piculs of salt. The salt was sold at Yau-ma Ti. I do not know the names of those three junks, but I will enquire and let you know. When the change was made from Cheung Chau to Hongkong, the Yan-wo Tong people went about among the Lans and gave information. Besides the master Cheng Tsun-teng there are three clerks. They have large quantities of Permit forms in boxes. These have been removed from the shop for the present. If you suspect my statements it will be very easy to get the master of a junk, say at Stanley or at Aberdeen, to get a Permit if you supply the money.\n\nI have been informed that the Mandarin at Po-thu Chau has beaten some of the men on board those salt cruisers for robbing people.\n\n[Asked how it came that no report has been made before, states], No one dares. Even I am afraid of getting into trouble, if it gets known that I am giving information.\n\n1st May, 1883.\n\n(Signed)\n\nF. STEWART,\n\nLan, Salt Fish Street.\n\nI have been in Hongkong 25 years, I know that Permits from the San On Salt Farmer have been issued in this Colony to fishing junks belonging to this Colony for the last ten years. Formerly, it was done very secretly. Permits were sent here from Cheung Chau, and the Agent occupied the upper floor of a house, changing his residence frequently to prevent detection. He sent men round to the Lans and junks to let people know where he was to be found. I know the Yan-wo Tong was established here at the end of last Chinese year. Several Permits have been obtained from it by my shop. I do not know the head man or any of his subordinates.\n\nThe sum paid for Permits varies with the size of the junk and the quantity of Salt used. They are dearer this year than they were formerly. One that cost $2 last year costs $2.75 this year. The reason given is, that the Farmer has to pay a higher sum than formerly to the Salt Commissioner. The Salt Farmer lives in Nam Tau. I do not know him. Permits are issued at Nam Tau, Cheung Chau, and Hongkong. There are two armed cruisers for the San On District. If they find a fishing junk without a licence they impose a fine of from $100 to $200, and confiscate the junk.\n\nI heard about the two Shau-ki Wan fishermen who had their fish taken away by a cruiser. I do not know how the matter was settled. I have not heard of the taking away of a girl or of the taking away of a junk's nets:\n\n(Asked how it comes that this issuing of Permits in Hongkong, to Hongkong licensed junks, has been going on so long without any complaint, states). The cruisers are so powerful that fishermen are afraid to complain, and are too glad to be let alone by paying the fee for the Permit.\n\nThe Cruisers frequent this Harbour.\n\n(Signed)\n\nF. STEWART.\n\nStatement of a Chinese dealer—name not published.\n\nThe master of the Yan-wo Tong is Cheng Tsun-teng. He left the Yan-wo Tong the day I was here (25th April). He is now living either in the Wo Mat Shop, or the Tak Shing carpenter's Shop. No permits are being issued for the present, but I believe they will resume when they think this has blown over. The Yan-wo Tong does no business except the issuing of Permits. About 20 have been obtained by my shop from the Yan-wo Tong since the Chinese New Year. My Shop used to get Permits for fishermen from Cheung-chau.\n\n* Cheung Chau is the Chinese Revenue Station at the West entrance of the Harbour.\n\n2nd May, 1883.\n\nInspector Cameron to Registrar General.\n\nYAU-MA TI,\n\n7th May, 1883.\n\n(Copy.)\n\nSIR,\n\nI have the honour to inform you that on Saturday the 5th instant, I sent a man, named...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-211 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1883 [8-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 323110, "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": "CO129-211 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1883 [8-9]", "page_number": 467, "title": "CO129-211 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1883 [8-9]", "content_text": "## FISHERMAN'S CERTIFICATE\n\nNo. 69, Character Shui.\n\n| No. | Character | Castle | Pak Bay | Kowloon | HONGK | Chur | |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 69 | Shui | 55 | 114 | 1700 | 6 | 20 | \n| | | | | | | 23 | \n| | | | | | | 28 | \n| | | | | | | 18 | \n\nThe Salt Commissioner of the Two Kwang, in the matter of issuing sealed permits in order to facilitate enquiry and inspection as well as to encourage the sale of Government Salt.

Goulbourne, Esq.,\n\nSIR,—In reply to your letter just received, will you be good enough to inform the Hon. the Surveyor-General that we have received instructions from the Colonial Secretary to supply the Surveyor-General's Department daily with a copy of the Hongkong Telegraph and that we shall continue to do so until the order is countermanded either by Dr. Stewart or his Excellency the Administrator.—I am, &c.,\n\nR. FRASER-SMITH.\n\nExamination continued: Were you never criticised in the Hongkong Telegraph before the 4th January?\n\nWitness: I believe I have been; I believe I have been systematically libelled by the Hongkong Telegraph, but I cannot give dates.\n\nOn the receipt of that letter by Mr. Goulbourne, I believe you addressed a letter to the Colonial Secretary?\n\nWitness: I did.\n\nYou remember what you said?\n\nWitness: Perfectly.\n\nWill you repeat it for the benefit of the jury?\n\nWitness: I consider my communications to the Colonial Secretary are privileged, and do not concern you in any way whatever.\n\nDid you state that I was a convicted criminal pursuing my abandoned career?\n\nWitness: I decline to give you any answer on that point.\n\nDefendant: We will have the letter produced, so it does not matter. Will you give the reason why you ordered the paper to be discontinued when it was ordered to be supplied by the Colonial Secretary?\n\nWitness: Because I did not consider it respectable.\n\nWhy?\n\nWitness: Every man is entitled to his opinion; and that was my opinion.\n\nI asked you the reason.\n\nWitness: Was it not because your acts were severely criticised?\n\nWitness: I formed the opinion then, and I have seen no reason to alter that opinion.\n\nWhy, you have just said you never see the paper.\n\nWitness: No, but some of its contents are often repeated to me.\n\nWas it not because of an article severely criticising your public acts?\n\nWitness: It was not.\n\nWill you be good enough to inform the jury as to the custom of your department in carrying out contracts?\n\nMr. Francis objected to the question on the ground that it was not now competent for the defendant to go into the truth or falsehood of the alleged libel.\n\nThe defendant said he was not going into that question, but he would only endeavour to show he was not actuated by malice and that he had good grounds for advocating an investigation into certain matters.\n\nHis Lordship said the defendant was entitled to go into that as Mr. Francis had made malice one of the strings of his bow. It would be his duty hereafter to tell the jury how far they were to consider the question of malice.\n\nMr. Price then, in answer to the defendant's examination, said that when public works were to be undertaken, there were two courses which were followed—one was to advertise for tenders in the Government Gazette, and to send round circulars to the principal contractors, or to have the work done by measurement in accordance with a schedule of prices in the Government Offices. In all works, tenders were not advertised for in the Government Gazette; it was not necessary, but in large works, such as that at Causeway Bay, or the Observatory, it was the invariable rule to advertise for tenders unless there was some special reason against it. The whole thing was governed by the possibility of ascertaining the cost of any work beforehand. The acceptance of any contract rested with the Governor, but he could not say that he had no responsibility with respect to them, since he sent his report upon the tenders to His Excellency, who might, perhaps, be influenced by it. A tender accepted without competition would not be an irregularity, as a great many contracts were given without any competition. That was only done where the price of the contract was below the Government scale already mentioned and would not be given otherwise. There was no truth in the paragraph the defendant had quoted from the `China Mail` as to the Government paying 50 percent more for their work than private individuals. A great many public contracts were given without competition every day. The laying of the foundation of the new Lunatic Asylum had been so given to Mr. Chan Kim. The work was to be done by measurement. The new mortuary at Shek Tong Tsui was a parallel case, but it was not a fact that the prices paid for these works were much above their actual value.\n\nSpecifications were prepared for the whole of them. There was nothing to prevent any respectable contractor from doing the work, providing that he did it according to the schedule, and gave certain guarantees. The work for the Observatory was put out to public competition, Sun Shing being the successful contractor.\n\nHis Lordship said he did not see how it would avail the defendant to go into these matters unless he showed that he was aware of them at the time he wrote the article in question.\n\nThe defendant said he was aware of them at the time; the contracts were settled in 1882.\n\nHis Lordship said he did not see what use the defendant wished to make of them in his defence.\n\nThe defendant said he wished to show that he was not actuated by malice, but that he had acted on good grounds.\n\nHis Lordship said he was not inclined to check the examination unless an objection was raised.\n\nMr. Francis: I am quite prepared to give the defendant as much rope as he needs, my Lord; he will only make one use of it.\n\nThe Defendant: My only object is to elicit the truth.\n\nMr. Francis: And thereby hang yourself.\n\nThe defendant: If I hang myself, that is my affair.\n\nExamination continued: It was hardly likely that when the invitation for the tenders was issued, it was intimated that the work would have to be done within four months, but witness could not remember whether it was stated now, as it was published nearly a year ago.\n\nBy Mr. Francis: Witness was not in the colony, but was away on leave when the article appeared in the `Telegraph` as to the payment of contractors, alluded to by the defendant.\n\nDr. Stewart was then called, and in answer to the defendant, he said: I am acting for the Colonial Secretary at present. I have been empowered to produce certain documents. I produce a letter dated January 8th, 1883, from the Surveyor-General to the acting Colonial Secretary.\n\nPage 57", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-213 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1883 [12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 323673, "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": "CO129-213 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1883 [12]", "page_number": 104, "title": "CO129-213 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1883 [12]", "content_text": "103\n\nwithhold\n\nmy\n\nsanction to it\n\nand you are at liberty to\n\ntable the we\n\nproviding\n\n}\n\nNecessary steps for\n\nboth\n\na\n\nmilitary\n\nadjutant and also a\n\nhave\n\ndrill sergeant as you Suggested the appointments\n\nwill of\n\nComse\n\nbe purely temporary and professional\n\nand be borne on the estimates\n\nSo\n\nas such, so that the Office Staff will not be barred from the military forces stationed here\n\nCome what may\n\nno claim to\n\nwho will not be\n\nengaged\n\nto lay\n\nbe unable\n\nthe privileges enjoyed by\n\nthe civil service of the\n\ncolony\n\nas regards\n\nhave off\n\nPension.\n\nthe felony.\n\nin accordance with\n\n#Jour.\n\npreporal\n\n€\n\n3.\n\nOne\n\nof the reasons which\n\nmade me reluctant to comply\n\nwith\n\nyour\n\nwishes was\n\nthis new\n\ncomply\n\nthat\n\nappointment\n\nwill interfere with\n\na bar will be made to stating\n\nMoreover\n\nThat\n\nin the absence\n\nof the Captain Superintendent\n\nit\n\nis presumed that the\n\nadjutant will take\n\nhis place, it took for\n\ngranted that this was so\n\nthen I proposed in place of creating\n\nHis new\n\noffice to give the\n\n...\n\nHowever, to follow the exact instructions given and improve the text according to the rules:\n\n## Step 1: Reorganize and correct the text\nThe given text appears to be a jumbled and OCR-scanned version of a historical document.

I must say in reading the correspondence laid before the Finance Committee it did appear to me this proposal for a grant of $6,000 to St. Joseph's College came before the Secretary of State with the approval of the executive Government of the colony. I would submit, sir, with reference to this, that I think it would be a very great relief to yourself from that delicate and flattering importunity with which I know our Roman Catholic friends are so apt to make their proposals, publicly and privately, if you were to refer all such applications in the first instance to the members of the Council. As regards the merits of the application itself, I am not prepared to offer any objection to the original vote of $5,000, set apart I believe by the Educational Department of the Government under the grant-in-aid system, but I do see great reason to object to the extra vote of $1,000 added with the approval of the Secretary of State. Nothing, so far as I can see, in the letter of Bishop Raimondi to the Secretary of State justifies this increase in the grant. He is pleading on behalf of a wealthy corporation and cannot say he requires this money from any want of funds. When I say I do not object to this vote because it is proposed under the grant-in-aid system I wish to guard myself against expressing any opinion on that system. I consider grants-in-aid to denominational schools are all very well so long as the educational test to be applied as the qualification for the grant has to be settled by the representatives of the ratepayers, who are supposed to be benefited by the grant, but it is a very different thing when that educational test is settled by what appears to me to be something in the nature of a concordat between the Governor of the Colony and an ecclesiastical hierarchy. I should like to ask my hon. friend opposite (Dr. Stewart), who probably knows more about education in the colony than any other person, whether he is sure the large Portuguese community, who are the supposed beneficiaries of this grant, are entirely satisfied with the character of the education they receive from such institutions as St. Joseph's College. In putting this question I am not actuated by any desire to bring about a discussion on grants-in-aid, but I wish to show good cause why every grant of public money in this colony should be made the subject of full and free discussion on the part of every member of this Council. I know, sir, you have said over and over again that you see desirous the representatives of the ratepayers should have control of the moneys derived from taxation, and I hope you will be able to give the Council some assurance to-day that in making votes of public funds it shall always be done after free discussion in this Council, and not under the dictation of some authority superior to us.\n\nThe COLONIAL SECRETARY—Sir, I was not in the colony when the meeting of the Finance Committee was held at which the discussion of this vote took place; otherwise I should have been able to explain to my hon. friend the reasons which induced me when I was Acting Administrator of the Government last year to refer to the Secretary of State instead of the Council in the first place the application I received from the managers of this school. That reason is to be found in a dispatch of the Secretary of State of 10th November, 1879, on the subject of education, which had occupied the attention of the Colonial Office for some considerable time. As this dispatch has not been published I think it might be well to read two or three extracts for the information of my hon. friend—\n\nThe expenditure upon education from public funds is considerable, but the whole ground is far from covered, and for this reason if for no other it is essential both to maintain the existing agencies (i.e., the Central School and the remainder of the Government system) and also as far as possible to encourage voluntary effort.\n\nThe other extract is this:—\n\nI desire also that all grants proposed to be made in aid of other than Government schools may be submitted to the Secretary of State for approval before any promise is made.\n\nI thought it my duty, under the instructions contained in this dispatch, to refer to the Secretary of State the application received from the managers of the new school. The application for a grant-in-aid, which was for $14,400, I accordingly referred to the Secretary of State with all information necessary on the subject, and in reply he said he had no objection to grant $5,000; but on a further application by Bishop Raimondi to your Excellency, your Excellency in Council decided it was desirable to increase the vote to $6,000. I see no objection at all to the adoption in future of the course advocated by the hon. member of laying all votes and applications before the Council before they are sent to the Secretary of State, especially as we shall soon have a larger number of unofficial members. I think there is no objection at all to that.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY—None at all. I entirely agree with the hon. member that the standing orders in force to regulate the proceedings of the Legislatures in other Crown Colonies should be introduced also in Hongkong, and that all votes of public money should be for the future considered in the first instance in the reconstituted Legislative Council.\n\nHon. F. STEWART—I am not in a position to answer the question put to me by the hon. member (Mr. Johnson). St. Joseph's College was begun after I had finished my work in the Educational Department, and I have had no opportunity of finding out what the opinion of the Portuguese community may be with regard to the education given at St. Joseph's College.\n\nThe motion for the approval of the votes was then put and carried nem. con.\n\nNATURALISATION.\n\nBills for the naturalisation of Lai Fong, Wong Shing, H.

Bowen\n\nThe Daily Press.\n\nHONGKONG, DECEMBER 25TH, 1883.\n\nWe have much pleasure in announcing that His Excellency the GOVERNOR has decided upon appointing Mr. Wong Shing to be the Chinese member of the Legislative Council. This decision has been arrived at after a careful inquiry, and is based, not only upon well ascertained facts, but upon the direct wishes of the vast majority of the leading Chinese residents. Sir GEORGE Bowen experienced some little difficulty at first in finding the most suitable man for the honour, as the number of Chinese who are either British subjects or willing to become so in this Colony is very limited. After much consideration, however, it was decided that the Registrar-General should take the views of all the representative Chinese merchants and residents, and these gentlemen were sent for singly and at various times, and asked to name the man they thought best fitted to represent their community on the Council from the number of those eligible for or willing to accept the seat. An overwhelming majority recorded their vote in favour of Mr. WONG SHING, who is universally respected among his countrymen, and Sir GEORGE Bowen, who was deeply anxious to find a man who enjoyed the confidence and esteem of the Chinese, has decided to appoint the man of their choice. A bill for the naturalization of the member-elect has been read a first time by the Legislative Council, and when the reconstructed Council meets, Mr. WONG SHING will take his seat at the table.\n\nIt may perhaps be useful at this juncture to give a slight sketch of Mr. WONG SHING'S career, for the benefit of those who have not the pleasure of his acquaintance. He was born in the vicinity of Macao, in the year 1825, and is therefore in his fifty-ninth year. He bears his years uncommonly well, however, being a remarkably robust and vigorous man, in excellent health. He came to this colony when a youth and commenced his English education at the Morrison Institution, Morrison Hill, after which he went to a College in Massachusetts, United States, for three years.\n\nHe then returned to Hongkong and shortly afterwards became head of the London Mission printing establishment, which he conducted with the greatest probity and success, to the entire satisfaction of Dr. Legge.\n\nMr. WONG SHING had meantime attracted the notice of the Chinese Government as a good English scholar, such being rare among the Chinese at that time, and he was offered employment in North China under LI HUNG-CHANG. After some consideration he accepted the proposal, but it is significant of the cordial relations existing between him and Dr. Legge, that he sent his first month's salary to that gentleman as a donation towards the London Mission. When the first Chinese Embassy to Washington was despatched, Mr. WONG SHING accompanied it as attaché, and twelve months later he was appointed Vice-Consul for China at San Francisco. His family accompanied him to America, and his three sons were partly educated in that country. When he resigned office he took his boys to Scotland and placed them in the Dollar Institution in Perthshire to complete their education. He then travelled through England and France, seeing a great deal and enlarging his views. Finally he returned to Hongkong, where he has taken up his permanent residence, and spends his time in the management of his property, the bulk of which is in this colony, the remainder being located in Macao. His interests, therefore, are in Hongkong, he has nothing to hope or to fear from mandarin influence, is about to become a British subject, and has had his children thoroughly educated abroad. Mr. WONG SHING has been an intelligent observer, possesses strong common sense, and most fully understands his countrymen, their wishes, wants, customs, and prejudices. Moreover, he was one of the first directors of the Tung Wah Hospital, and, though he has not resided here continuously all his life, has maintained his connection with the Colony for the past thirty-five years or so by residence, visits, and written communications. The Chinese community have shown excellent discrimination in their choice of a representative, who is at once a man of education, intelligence, and position, to which he adds a ripe experience gained in various countries and situations. They may be heartily congratulated upon securing so efficient an exponent of their views and requirements, whilst His Excellency the GOVERNOR has the satisfaction of knowing that he will have a Chinese gentleman on the Council who will really represent the large Chinese population of this important Colony.\n\n269\n\nPage 270\n\nPage 271", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-213 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1883 [12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 323841, "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": "CO129-213 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1883 [12]", "page_number": 272, "title": "CO129-213 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1883 [12]", "content_text": "as Mr Wong, one who appears to enjoy the full confidence of some of the leading Members of the Chinese Community in Hong Kong.\n\nThe receipt of the Ordinance naturalises my Shing, but by the warrant my f...

There were present Messrs. F. B. Johnson (Chairman), Hon. P. Ryrie (Vice-Chairman), Messrs. H. L. Dalrymple, L. Poesnecker, T. Jackson, A. Gültzow, E. Mackintosh, F. D. Sassoon (Committee), W. S.

Foster, W. H. F. Darby, T. H. Whitehead, J. M. Matson, and E. George (Secretary).\n\nThe CHAIRMAN—Gentlemen, the Secretary will now read the notice convening the meeting, and then the correspondence, which is virtually our commission for the business we have to perform.\n\nThe correspondence consisted of the letter from the Colonial Secretary to the Chairman of the Chamber requesting that the Chamber would nominate a gentleman for appointment to the Legislative Council (which has already been published) and the following reply:\n\nHongkong General Chamber of Commerce,\n\nHongkong, 28th December, 1888.\n\nThe Honourable W. H. Marsh, C.M.G.,\n\nColonial Secretary,\n\nSIR—I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of the letter dated the 20th instant in which you inform me that, on the recommendation of the Governor, Her Majesty has been pleased to confer upon this Chamber the privilege of nominating for His Excellency's approval one member to a seat in the Legislative Council of the colony. You further request me to make the necessary arrangements in accordance with the rules of the Chamber to convene a meeting of the members, and to invite them to elect a member whose name is to be returned to you for submission to His Excellency.\n\nI take notice that this return should be accompanied by the following documents, viz.:\n\nA copy of the notice convening the meeting.\n\nA list of the members present at the meeting.\n\nA list of the candidates, with the names of their proposers and seconders.\n\nA list of voters.\n\nA statement of the number of votes given for each candidate.\n\nIn reply, I beg to inform you that in compliance with your request a special meeting of the Chamber has been convoked for Wednesday, the 2nd January, and that in due time the name of the member who will be nominated thereat will be returned to you, together with the papers asked for, excepting only the fourth one, viz., a list of the voters. It is the practice of the Chamber to keep a record of the members present at any ballot, but not to enquire into the names of members who, although present, may decline to vote at all.\n\nI assume that it is intended the person nominated shall be a member of the Chamber, but on this point your letter is not explicit.\n\nThe Committee requests that you will convey to the Governor its thanks in the name of the Chamber for the wise initiative which, in the opinion of the Committee, has been taken by His Excellency in having recommended Her Majesty to anticipate the pressure of public opinion by conferring upon the Colonists a measure of popular representation which has long been urgently called for by the rapidly developing interests of the colony.—I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant,\n\nF. B. JOHNSON, Chairman.\n\nColonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 20th December, 1888.\n\nSIR—With reference to your letter of yesterday I am instructed by His Excellency the Governor to inform you that the candidate to be nominated for a seat in the Legislative Council should be a Member of the Chamber of Commerce.\n\nI have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient servant,\n\nW. H. MARSH, Colonial Secretary.\n\nThe Honourable F. B. Johnson, Chairman, Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce\n\nThe CHAIRMAN—Gentlemen, the function which we are called upon to perform to-day is one which is so unusual to us, and which so seldom appertains to a mercantile body such as ours, that I think you will agree with me that a few words on the subject that brings us together will not be out of place. First, I feel sure you will agree with the Committee in thinking that the thanks of the Chamber, and not only of the Chamber but of all those whose interests we may now be said to represent, are due to His Excellency the Governor, Sir George Bowen, for the initiative he has taken in anticipating public opinion and obtaining for us in this colony a measure of self-government. It will perhaps be within your recollection that early last year, at our last annual meeting, I ventured to say that the time had arrived when we in this colony should demand some control over our own affairs, and I suggested the arrival of a new Governor was a fitting opportunity on which to press our demands. I think it a subject of very great congratulation that the Governor, Sir George Bowen, forestalled, as I have said, any agitation in this colony, for agitation is much to be deprecated. He forestalled us and completely took the wind out of our sails and went ahead of us. I think it is hardly matter of surprise that Sir George Bowen, after having administered for so many years the affairs of those great democratic communities in the South Pacific, should have felt somewhat stifled by the close political atmosphere of this Downing-street ridden colony. It is scarcely to be believed, but it is true, that although we have here a highly paid Governor, well versed in affairs, none more so, and assisted by departments presided over by men fit to govern a dominion, with all the machinery of Executive and Legislative Councils, we have not a modicum of control over our own affairs; we cannot do the smallest thing without interference by the Colonial Office or some young gentleman in the Colonial Department who desires to show his raison d'être by mischievous meddling in affairs with which no amount of competitive cramming can give him the least effective acquaintance. I regret Sir George Bowen's scheme was not carried out in its integrity, as it is a far better one than that which has been accepted. We do not want any mechanical or conventional system of voting. What we do want is a free and independent Council which will control the measures of Government and represent the intelligent public opinion of the colony. Now we know that in the reconstructed Legislative Council the Colonial Office will still have a majority of official votes, and can influence them as it likes, but we also know what can be done by an active and intelligent minority in any representative assembly. It therefore devolves upon us and the other constituent body to send up men who will not only represent our interests but who also know how to fight our battles and win them; for believe me, the battle is not one that has to be fought out by a single effort, but step by step, slowly, until we have obtained that which we ought to have, the control over all our ordinary municipal taxation and our ordinary municipal expenditure—(hear, hear)—leaving only in the hands of the Colonial Office a veto over such matters as belong to Imperial interests and where it may be occasionally exercised with advantage in such a mixed community as this. Gentlemen, I believe there is before this colony a magnificent future of prosperity, and that that prosperity will be hastened and increased if we have the management of our own affairs, for the simple reason that those who have interests at stake have a very lively appreciation of what is needed. But if we are to remain as before, with our destinies entirely under the control of the Colonial Office, that time may be indefinitely retarded and minimised. Under these circumstances I feel sure we shall consider a great responsibility rests upon us as to the member we shall send up to represent us, and I only hope we shall be found equal to the opportunities that have been committed to our charge. The order of our proceedings as arranged by the Committee will be that any members present who have to propose a member for nomination to the Council will send up to the Secretary a paper containing the name of the gentleman proposed and those of the proposer and seconder. If only one name is submitted I shall put that by resolution to the meeting. If more than one name is proposed a ballot will be called for and the votes will be counted by my friend the Vice-Chairman and the Secretary (Applause).\n\n20", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-215 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1884 [1-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 324764, "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": "CO129-215 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1884 [1-4]", "page_number": 24, "title": "CO129-215 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1884 [1-4]", "content_text": "Enclosure. 4.\n\nThe Daily Press.\n\nHONGKONG, JANUARY 5TH, 1884.\n\nMEETING OF THE JUSTICES TO ELECT A MEMBER OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL\n\nA meeting of the Justices of the Peace was held at the City Hall yesterday afternoon to nominate a member of the Legislative Council in accordance with the instructions of His Excellency the Governor, which have already been published. Mr. H. E. Wodehouse, senior Police Magistrate, presided, and there were present :- Voters-Dr. R. Young, Messrs. E. Mackean, H. L. Dalrymple, E. Mackintosh, H. J. H. Tripp, N. J. Ede, W. H. F.

The Chairman also abstained from voting as an official.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN-Gentlemen, I will call upon the clerk to read the notice convening the meeting.\n\nMr. J. PARKER, clerk to the Justices, read the notice, and also the instructions received from the Governor.\n\nThe names of the Justices were then called over, those who were present answering.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN-Gentlemen, I will now ask any of you who have candidates to propose to do so in writing, with the seconder's name added, and hand the papers in to me. In order that the proceedings may be perfectly fair and above board I propose that all the names be handed to me before any remarks are made with regard to the candidates proposed, and I will put them into a hat and take them out one by one indiscriminately and then ask the proposers and seconders to make any remarks on the candidates they may wish.\n\nMr. FRANCIS-As a matter of procedure, Sir, may I venture to suggest to the meeting that, as we cannot all look on while the ballot boxes are being examined, the gentlemen proposing the candidates with the Chairman of the meeting should form a committee of scrutiny to examine the contents of the ballot boxes and notify the result.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN-Will you allow that to stand over for the present until the next step has been taken?\n\nMr. FRANCIS-As you please, Sir.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN-If there is no objection to the course I propose, that will be the next step taken.\n\nThree papers were then handed in, and the first read out was the name of Mr. A. P. MacEwen, proposed by the Hon. F. B. Johnson and seconded by Mr. A. McIver.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN-I now call upon the gentlemen proposing and seconding to offer any remarks they may wish.\n\nHon. F. B. JOHNSON-Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, I have very great pleasure indeed in proposing the name of Mr. Alexander Palmer MacEwen as a very fit and proper person to represent not only this body but the community generally in the Legislative Council of this colony. (Applause).\n\nMr. McIVER-I have very great pleasure in seconding the hon. gentleman's proposition.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN then drew the next paper, containing the name of Mr. E. R. Belilios, proposed by Mr. Ho Kai and seconded by Mr. H. M. Mehta.\n\nMr. Ho KAI-Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, I rise with the greatest pleasure to propose Mr. E. R. Belilios for your nomination as your representative on the Legislative Council. Mr. Belilios is well known to every one of you, since he has been here for a period of over twenty-two years, and he needs no introduction from me. I am sure you all have met him in various public capacities, either as a director, or as a temporary member of the Legislative Council, or as one of the oldest Justices of the Peace, and you have seen him filling all the positions in which he has been placed with a degree of credit and ability which must have won your respect. I need scarcely say anything in his favour except to beg your earnest attention to the fact that notwithstanding many things have been said in favour of brilliant talents and eloquent speech, we must have as our representative member something more than that; we must have a man of long experience, yes, long local experience, and of independent position, one who is not likely to be influenced by any personal considerations, and one who will always strive to do everything in his power to protect the public interests. I have very much pleasure therefore in proposing Mr. E. R. Belilios.\n\nMr. MEHTA-I have very great pleasure in seconding the proposition which has been moved by Dr. Ho Kai.\n\nThe next paper drawn bore the name of Mr. F. D. Sassoon, proposed by Mr. C. P. Chater and seconded by Mr. W. K. Hughes.\n\nMr. CHATER-I have very great pleasure in proposing that Mr. Frederick David Sassoon be nominated by this body to a seat in the Legislative Council. Gentlemen, you are all well acquainted with Mr. Sassoon, and it does not require much from me to put forward his claims. He is the senior partner here in the firm of Messrs. David Sassoon, Sons, and Co., a firm established here ever since the colony was founded. His brothers, the previous partners of his firm, have always been very closely identified with this colony, and have even at the present moment a very large interest in the place. So also has the candidate I bring forward, and I trust he will have a much larger interest in the place before he leaves it.\n\nMr. HUGHES-I beg to second Mr. Chater's proposition.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN-Any gentleman wishing to make any remarks on the several candidates is at liberty to do so.\n\nNo remarks being offered, the CHAIRMAN explained the course to be observed in voting. Three ballot boxes were placed on a table behind a screen in the corner of the room, each bearing the name of one of the candidates in English and Chinese. Each Justice voting was requested to sign his name before going behind the screen, and on doing so received a voting bean to be deposited in the ballot box bearing the name of the candidate for whom he wished to vote.\n\nBefore the voting took place Mr. FRANCIS said-I propose on behalf of the meeting that the gentlemen who propose the candidates act as scrutineers, as we cannot all very well crowd round to look on.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN-I will still ask that that be postponed till the ballot is closed.\n\nMr. FRANCIS-I beg to propose it now, as the proper time.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN-Very well. Are the gentlemen present willing for that?\n\nMr. MACKEAN-I beg to second it.\n\nMr. DANBY-Before that is put to the meeting may I ask if you have any alternative system to propose?\n\nThe CHAIRMAN-As stated in the letter of instructions, I will be guided by the wishes of the Justices. The only point is that I wish we should conduct these proceedings step by step. The motion of Mr. Francis, a very proper one in its way, would come in more fittingly after the voting has been concluded and before the scrutiny commences. What I should have suggested would have been that the gentlemen put their votes in the ballot boxes and put their names on the paper, and when that was done, and before anything further was done with the ballot boxes, that the form of scrutiny be decided upon.\n\nMr. FRANCIS-As you were arranging the method of proceeding I thought you might have it settled at once.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN-It is all settled as far as I am concerned.\n\nPage 22\n\nMr. Francis", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-215 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1884 [1-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 324767, "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": "CO129-215 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1884 [1-4]", "page_number": 27, "title": "CO129-215 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1884 [1-4]", "content_text": "& confirmation reforting the course which you had taken a seating In their selection\n\n2.

Bowen\n\nPRIZE DAY AT THE CENTRAL SCHOOL.\n\nThe annual distribution of prizes at the Central School took place yesterday afternoon. His Excellency the Governor presided, and amongst the visitors present were the Misses Bowen, Mrs. Marsh, Hon. A. Lister, Hon. F. Stewart, Mr. Justice Russell, Rev. W. Jennings, Major Lloyd, Captain Accioni (Italian Navy), Mr. Dejardin (French Consul), Mr. Loureiro (Portuguese Consul), Mr. Machida (Japanese Consul), Mr. Romano (Brazilian Consul), Lieut. Vyryan, A.D.C., Mr. H. E. Wodehouse, Mr. J. H. Stewart Lockhart, Rev. Dr. Eitel, Rev. Dr. Chalmers, Rev. E. Faber, Rev. R. Lechler, Mr. R. C. Wilcox, Mr. H. W. Hambling, Mr. Dorabjee Nowrojee, Mr. Lee Tak Cheong, &c.\n\nMr. G. H. B. Wright, M.A., the Head Master, said—Your Excellency, ladies and gentlemen, it is just two years since I arrived in this colony, and I am now taking part in the third annual distribution of prizes in which I have assisted. I can honestly say the excellent impression produced on me as a stranger at the first examination has deepened on further acquaintance into the conviction that the school is slowly, but steadily and surely, attaining its object of imparting a high-class English education to the youth of this colony. The total number of boys on the roll during the year was 556, and the average daily attendance 394, a higher figure than in the previous year. I do not wish to anticipate the report of the Inspector of Schools, but from the examination of the papers made for prize purposes, I conclude that 96 per cent. of the boys have passed. There has been, I am happy to say, a great improvement in the English subjects—composition, grammar, history, translation from and into English. During the last year, grammar was introduced as low as the ninth class, with excellent results in the examination. I am sure it is not necessary for me, after making these statements, to remark that the masters and assistants of this school deserve the highest credit and warmest congratulation for their work during the last year. I must not omit, however, to mention the zeal and interest displayed by Mr. Chape, who was acting master in the Middle School for ten months of the year. By the addition of Mr. May to the staff, I was enabled to divide the first class, which was a rather unwieldy-sized class, into two divisions. This division has produced marked results in the examination. The trustees of the Bailie's Scholarships have awarded two scholarships this year, the senior to the first boy in the first class and the junior to the first boy in the second class, for proficiency in general subjects. The capital of the scholarship presented by Mr. Neish Bain for engineering has been invested during the year, and the first competition will probably be held this time next year. In August last year, Your Excellency was pleased to approve of a suggestion of mine that four boys should be elected from outside district schools for free education in this school. Four boys were accordingly elected, and I am pleased to say they have all passed a creditable examination, one boy in the sixth class having gained the first prize. I have nothing further to add than to express my thanks to Your Excellency for presiding on this occasion and to those ladies and gentlemen who, by their presence to-day, have testified their interest in this school. (Applause).\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY—Ladies and Gentlemen, it is with much satisfaction that I have come here to-day to preside for the first time at the annual distribution of prizes at the Central School, the chief educational establishment maintained by the Government of this Colony; and in which nearly all the students are Chinese. I assure that you all have listened with interest and pleasure to the remarks just made by the Head Master.\n\nAs already well known, the present very inadequate building will soon be replaced by a handsome and convenient College, furnished with all the necessary appurtenances. (Applause.) Looking to the great and growing importance of this institution, and to the mature age of a large proportion of the students, I have sought and obtained permission to have the new building called Victoria College. (Applause.) I am sure that this entire community will loyally appreciate the honour thus conferred upon it by our gracious Sovereign, the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland and Empress of India, the Tai Huang-ti of the English race. (Applause.) It is recorded in the Chinese Classics that the grand philosopher, the Aristotle of China,—Kung Tze, called by Europeans Confucius,—once, when gazing upon a river, compared its pure and ceaseless current to the transmission of sound learning and morality through successive ages of mankind. So let us hope that, under the blessing of Heaven, Victoria College may endure throughout the great future of China, a main source whence will flow the streams of education and knowledge to generations yet unborn. (Applause.) Your own Confucius, my Chinese friends, was the \"Great Master of Knowledge,\" \"Il gran maestro di color che sanno\" in the Eastern world, as Dante said of Aristotle in the Western world. The moral philosophy of Aristotle has for centuries exercised a wide influence over the higher education of the Western nations; and so the teaching of Confucius has held predominant sway over the laws, the feelings, and the general life of the vast Empire of China; which comprises above one-fourth of the entire human race. In fact, the golden words of Confucius have the same force now as when they were first spoken twenty-five centuries ago. You should all treasure in your hearts what the Master said when he was asked—\"Is it not pleasant to learn with never-failing application and perseverance?\" And again, when he laid down the rule that \"A youth when at home should be obedient to his parents, and when abroad respectful to his elders. He should be earnest and truthful. He should overflow with love to all, and cultivate the friendship of the good. When he has time and opportunity after the performance of these primary duties, he should employ them in polite studies.\" With regard to the art of ruling men, Confucius said—\"A just Government is like the polar star which keeps its fixed place, while the other stars turn towards it.\" I assure all the Chinese in this island that the Government of Hongkong is desirous to treat them with justice, and not only \"with dry but with sympathetic justice,\" to quote a phrase recently used by an eminent English statesman. (Applause.) In short, the Government desires to extend to them the privileges of British subjects. A most worthy representative of the Chinese race, Mr. Wong Shing, has been appointed a member of the Colonial Legislature. Moreover, I have thrown open the minor posts in the public service to competitive examination without distinction of race or creed. There will thus be a wide field for honourable employment for all the youth of this island. Again, provision will shortly be made at the public expense to send a certain number of the most distinguished pupils of the colleges at Hongkong to complete their studies in England, as members of the legal or medical professions, or as civil engineers. (Applause.) It will be remembered that more than 2,000 years ago your Chinese ancestors had already established a national polity, a national code of law, and a national literature; had built great cities, and had made much progress in many of the industrial arts, at a period when the ancestors of what are now the three most powerful nations of Western Europe—the English, the Germans, and the French—whose magnificent squadrons are now in this harbour, had not yet emerged from barbarism. But in modern times, while China has remained well nigh stationary, the Western nations have made rapid and constant progress in all the arts that can promote and adorn civilization. I hope that a long succession of the Chinese students of this college, after completing their education in England, may have the honour of bringing back with them, and of introducing into their native land, the results of the humane and enlightened jurisprudence, and of the improved medical science of modern Europe, or may, as engineers, help to cover the vast Empire of China, as Europe has already been covered, with a network of railways and telegraphs, those powerful promoters of commercial intercourse and of the arts of modern civilization. (Applause.) And now, my young friends, I will conclude this address by reminding you of two famous and excellent Chinese proverbs:—\"Those persons are only asses and cows in men's clothes who neglect the study of the past and present\"—Jen pu hsiao ku chin, ma niu mien chin chi; and \"learning is far more precious than gold\"—Huang chin yu chia, shu wu chia—Loud Applause).\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY—I am very much pleased with everything I have seen, my young friends, and I think your general appearance, behaviour, and proficiency reflect great credit upon your excellent Head Master and on all the staff of masters. I am very much pleased with all that I have seen to-day. I am requested by the Head Master to announce that your holidays will now commence and last till Friday, the 22nd February. I hope you will enjoy the Chinese New Year, and that you will have much pleasure during that festive time, with plenty of crackers and fireworks of all sorts.\n\nThe boys then gave cheers for the Queen, for His Excellency, for the Head Master, and for the visitors.\n\nPage 175", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-215 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1884 [1-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 325025, "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": "CO129-215 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1884 [1-4]", "page_number": 285, "title": "CO129-215 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1884 [1-4]", "content_text": "Stewarts Reply, and the speeches of \n\nDr Bokai, of the Chief \n\nof the Chief Justice, and \n\nof.) \n\nof Mr. Buckeley Johnson, will be \n\nfound to contain interesting \n\nmatter. \n\nI have the honour to be \n\nMy Lord, \n\nYour Lordship's Most Obedient \n\nHumble Servant, \n\n5.

F. Stewart, LL.D., the former Head Master, and to present to the school a scholarship to be called, in his honour, the \"Stewart Scholarship.\" His Excellency the Governor presided, and a large number of guests were present, who were subsequently entertained at luncheon, when covers were laid for the following:-His Excellency the Governor, Sir George Bowen, G.C.M.G., Major General Sargent, C.B., Sir George Phillippo, the Hon.

Your long connection with the School, extending over a period of more than twenty years, has made you the benefactor of thousands of youths in this colony and elsewhere, many of whom owe their success in life mainly to your liberal education, wise discipline, and careful training. As Head Master you have laboured long and perseveringly for the school, sparing neither time nor pains, and it must be gratifying to you to witness the satisfactory results of your arduous labours in seeing so many of your old pupils occupying numerous important and useful positions in this colony and other parts of the world. (Applause.) It is no less gratifying to you, I am sure, to meet such a number of them this afternoon in this old school-room where we have so often met before, and to receive from them their personal assurance of their deep appreciation and grateful acknowledgment of your valuable services, rendered to them and to their fellow countrymen. I assure you it gives us all very great pleasure to meet you here to-day, and you will do us much honour and favour by accepting from us the small token of regard and affection we now present to you in the shape of a scholarship founded in your name. May you long be preserved to the service of your country, and to the welfare and prosperity of this Colony. (Applause.) I now crave leave to read the address:— \n\nHongkong, February, 1884. The Honourable FREDERICK STEWART, LL.D., late Head Master of the Government Central School, Hongkong, \n\nDEAR SIR,—There has been a general and spontaneous feeling amongst your old pupils that some means should \n\nbe devised to express in some measure their grateful and profound esteem for yourself personally, and your most valuable services and work in connection with education in this Colony during a period of more than twenty years. The scope and value of your past services can only be adequately estimated or properly appreciated by those whom you sought to benefit by your learning, high personal example, constant kindness, indefatigable energy and wise discipline, and so we, who have been among the fortunate recipients of the fruits of your labour, wish to express our grateful remembrance and appreciative recognition in a becoming manner. \n\nThis is our object in coming before you to-day, and it is our desire in the first place, to give expression to the deep feelings of personal regard and high esteem which we in common with those of your pupils who are prevented by unavoidable causes from signing the address \n\nEnclosure \n\nC O. \n\n4283 \n\nROD \n\nor being present to-day, cherish towards you, and, secondly, to ask your permission to the founding of a scholarship at the Government Central School to be called \"The Stewart Scholarship,\" the funds necessary to endowing it having been subscribed for this express purpose by late pupils and scholars, who saw in this a way to give you a slight token of the honour and affectionate remembrance in which your distinguished connection with the School as Head Master for more than twenty years is held by them. We remain, yours very faithfully, \n\nHo Kai, Chairman \n\nWei Yuk, Hon. Treasurer Wong Yat Sun, Hon. Secretary Chun Shing Kong, Hon. Secretary \n\nCOMMITTEE. \n\nChan Shun Fat Ng Pai Wei Leon Ho Chang Sang Sin Siu Choang Lak Y Leong Su Kwong Yoon Mun Choy Chan Kai Ming Cheang Yu Koot \n\nLak Hing Nam Kom Cha Seung \n\nIru Yow \n\nHo Chi \n\nHa Pak \n\nChow Chu \n\nFung Shui \n\nU Lai Un Chan U Fai \n\nSUBSCRIBERS. \n\nChoy Tan Chong Tam Tsun \n\nHo Tsun Tsang Kit Fan Kan Shin Fo Chan Long Hica Wong \n\nApat Chan Achew Lo Aruck \n\nTip Ping Kwan \n\nWong Saik Chee \n\nTam I Nam Luk Tit Fo Fang You Lai Kau Lam Yat Chun Kin Wing Chan Pau \n\nKwan Chak Lam Leong A Than \n\nChoong Ho \n\nTan Kwan Un Chan Ree Kwok Chik Kan \n\nHo Kun Moon \n\nHo Tsink Sin \n\nTeau Ying Koa \n\nYoung Kit Chaen \n\nChan A Sang Kwok Yang Kam \n\nChan Wing Yim \n\nChan Won Fun Trang Kum Chiu Ko Chim Yuen Ho Ha Sing \n\nLie Yne Foong Choung Shing Chan Ngui Him Chang Shan Pang Ting Ching Want Hin Chong \n\nFILE YRG \n\nNg Yaoi Wei Sung Wei Took Wei Kut \n\nSoo Kwai Sang \n\nHo Fus \n\nTang Wing Shing \n\nHung Kam Shing Hong Kam Ning Lam Su \n\nLam Ping Young Fung Chuen Chan Taung Fat Chau Pak \n\nDr. STEWART, in accepting the address, said Dr. Ho Kai and gentlemen, I thank you most heartily for this memorable token of your good will, and for the gracious terms in which you have presented it. Those \"deep feelings of personal regard and high esteem,\" to which you have given expression in this address, I most cordially reciprocate. There is no portion of my past life to which I look back with greater pleasure than the years I spent at the Central School. When I think of the support which I invariably received from the community, and the untiring efforts of my scholars to profit by the instruction they received, I feel that I should be wanting in my duty if I did not avail myself of this opportunity to convey to those who treated me with such forbearance and confidence the assurance of my sincerest gratitude. But apart altogether from the honour you have this day conferred on me personally by endowing this scholarship and calling it by my name, I desire to assure you that it would have been impossible for you to have done anything which I appreciate so much as this substantial boon which you have bestowed upon the old school. I trust that those who may hereafter be successful in winning it will do as much as you have done to uphold the credit of the school, and continue to manifest the same feelings of regard towards it and towards all who are called upon to take part in the instruction of your successors. \n\n(Applause) \n\nThe company then adjourned to luncheon in an adjoining room, and a number of toasts were afterwards drunk, \n\nHis Excellency the GOVERNOR,\" in proposing \"The Queen,\" said-Gentlemen, as you all appear to have done full justice to the ample fare placed before us by our kind Chinese hosts and I am sure you will all agree with me there could not have been a better luncheon served on any table in any part of the world-- (applause)-I say after such a luncheon it is time we should proceed to the less substantial but perhaps more intellectual part of the proceedings. When I was asked by the old scholars to preside on this occasion I gladly consented to their request, partly out of respect to them and partly because I wished to show my sympathy with the graceful and gratifying mark of honour which they are paying to-day to my distinguished friend opposite, Dr. Stewart.

The Chief Justice took the chair and called upon the Clerk of Councils to read the proclamation summoning the meeting. This having been done, the Clerk of Councils was directed to inform the Governor, who shortly afterwards entered and read the speech given below. The opening ceremony was attended with more formality than has hitherto been the case on similar occasions in Hongkong. The road from Government House to the Public Office was lined with Sikh policemen, and a guard of honour and the Band of the Buffs was posted in the hall of the Public Office, and saluted the Governor on his arrival. In the Council Chamber there was a large attendance, including a considerable number of ladies, the Consuls and Military Officers in uniform, and a large number of the general public. His Excellency wore the uniform of his office and the scarf and order of the Grand Cross of St. Michael and St. George. The Colonial Secretary, the Attorney-General, and the Surveyor-General also wore the Civil Service Uniform. The Council was composed as follows:-\n\nHis Excellency the GOVERNOR, Sir GEORGE FERGUSON Bower, G.C.M.G.\n\nHon. Sir GEORGE PHILlIPPo, Chief Justice.\n\nHon. W. H. MARSH, C.M.G.\n\nHon. E. L. O'MALLEY, Attorney-General.\n\nHon. A. LISTER, Colonial Treasurer.\n\nHon. J. M. PRICE, Surveyor-General.\n\nHon. F. STEWART, Registrar-General.\n\nHon. P. RYrie.\n\nHon. F. B. JOHNSON,\n\nHon. T. JACKSON.\n\nHon. F. D. SAXTON.\n\nHon. WONG SHING.\n\nTHE GOVERNOR'S SPEECH.\n\nHonourable Gentlemen of the Legislative Council,\n\n1. It is with feelings of much pleasure and interest that I now open the first session of the re-constituted Legislature of Hongkong, and have recourse to your advice and assistance in the administration of the Government.\n\n2. It will always be one of the most satisfactory reminiscences of my long public career that I have been able to procure a more adequate representation in this Council of the community at large. I am confident that the Government will derive valuable aid from the local knowledge and experience of the unofficial members, and I also believe that you will all agree with me that there neither is, nor ought to be, any antagonism between the official and the unofficial element in this Legislature. All the members alike can have no other object but to secure the general welfare, and to advance the progress of the colony.\n\n3. For obvious reasons, it is in the highest degree important that this Council should adhere to the constitutional forms followed by the Legislatures of the other principal Crown Colonies. The address of the Governor at the opening of each annual session will contain, here as elsewhere, a general view of the financial and social condition of the Colony, and a statement of the Legislative and other measures, and of the public works proposed. So the address of the Council in reply will afford the Members of the Legislature the usual constitutional opportunity of expressing their opinion of the conduct and proposals of the Government.\n\n4. Further, in accordance with the practice elsewhere, I recommend you to appoint a Committee of Finance (which should be a Committee of the whole Council), a Committee of Laws, and a Committee of Public Works, which should respectively examine in the first instance the details of every proposed vote and measure.\n\n5. After this brief explanatory preface, I will proceed to state generally the principal subjects to which your attention will be directed during the present Session. Full details will be found in the papers which will be laid before you, and in the statements of the several Heads of Departments.\n\n6. In the first place, with regard to the paramount question of Finance, it is very gratifying to be able to inform you that our position is satisfactory. The Revenue of the year 1883 amounted to $1,294,500; and the Ordinary Expenditure to $1,165,700; leaving an excess of revenue over Ordinary Expenditure of $128,800. The Extraordinary Expenditure of 1883 was defrayed from the accumulated balance, and included the Tai-tam water works, Break-water, Causeway Bay reclamation, Purchase of houses and land for the New Central Market, and Sanitary works.\n\n7. The estimated balance to the credit of the colony on the 31st December, 1883, was $1,095,505. Hongkong is probably the only state or colony of importance which at the present day is not only without a public debt, but which possesses invested assets nearly equal to its annual revenue. However, the existing balances will not be sufficient to carry out several public works which are urgently required by this community, in addition to those \"strong and complete measures of sanitation\" which Mr. Chadwick (the Civil Engineer recently sent out from England) has reported to be absolutely necessary \"for the immediate benefit of the public health.\" Under these circumstances, I concur with the Executive Council in what appears to be the general opinion of the colony, viz., that the present generation of colonists ought not to be deprived of the advantages referred to, while it cannot of course be expected to defray the entire cost of works of a permanent and reproductive character; and that consequently, it will be expedient to raise, on the exhaustion of the existing assets, a moderate loan, not much exceeding the revenue of a single year. This question will not have to be decided in its details during the present Session; but I desire to elicit the opinion of the Council on the principle involved.\n\n8. The Estimates for 1884 have been already voted. The Estimates for 1885 will be laid before you in next November, which seems to be the most generally convenient period for the opening of the annual Session.\n\n9. With regard to Legislative measures, the following Ordinances, among others, have already become law since I assumed this Government in the spring of last year, viz.: Ordinances to provide for the better Regulation of Vehicles and Public Traffic; To organise the construction of certain lines of Tramways; To constitute a Sanitary Board; To amend Merchant Shipping Law and provide for the enforcement of Quarantine; To continue the operation of the French Mail Steamers Ordinance; To authorise the construction of certain Piers and Wharves. The principal Bills which will be laid before you during the present session will be the following:-\n\n(1.) To regulate Weights and Measures.\n\n(2.) To consolidate and amend the Ordinance relating to Opium.\n\n(3.) To establish a Savings Bank.\n\n(4.) To consolidate and amend the laws relating to Stamp Duties.\n\n(5.) To provide for the Registration of Medical Practitioners.\n\n(6.) To regulate Prisons and Prison Discipline.\n\n(7.) To amend the Dangerous Goods' Ordinance, 1873.\n\n(8.) To amend the Preservation of Birds' Ordinance, 1870.\n\n(9.) To amend certain Ordinances relating to Criminal Procedure.\n\n(10.) To amend the law relating to the punishment of criminals.\n\n(11.) To amend the Bankruptcy Ordinance of 1864.\n\n(12.) To regulate the Post Office and Postal Service.\n\n(13.) To Amend Ordinance No. 10 of 1867.\n\n(14.) To provide for the more effectual protection of Chinese female children.\n\n10. The report of the Commission on Smuggling, and an able and exhaustive memorandum by Mr. Justice Russell on the so-called Blockade of Hongkong by Chinese Revenue Cruisers, are recommended to your attention. I have discussed this important question with the present British Minister at Peking, who will, I am confident, lend his aid towards carrying out an equitable settlement.\n\n11. Turning to the vital subject of the Public Health, I am glad to inform you that the recent organisation of a Government Sanitary Board under Ordinance No. 7 of 1883, and the promulgation of new Rules and Regulations under that Ordinance, together with the introduction of improved contracts for the removal and disposal of waste products, have been followed by a marked improvement in the practical sanitation of the Colony. Much, however, remains to be done, both in respect of legislation and of structural sanitary work; but I am confident that the necessary reforms and improvements will in due course be effected by the zeal and ability of the officers to whom this branch of the Public Service has been entrusted, and by the cheerful acquiescence of all classes of our population in such measures and restrictions for the safety of the Public Health as may, with...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-215 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1884 [1-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 325076, "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": "CO129-215 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1884 [1-4]", "page_number": 336, "title": "CO129-215 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1884 [1-4]", "content_text": "Past I can only say the year terminating on the 29th of the present month will be the most paying year with regard to opium revenue the colony has yet experienced; but with regard to the future, if I had known that my hon. friend was going to ask the question, I would have endeavoured to persuade him not to ask it at this moment. I confess to a propensity, when a question is asked, to give it a full and frank answer; but in this case I really cannot go into particulars because negotiations are pending.\n\nI, at this moment, and as are happy to say I have very little to do with them, I can assure my hon. friend they are in very good hands. Negotiations are pending at this moment, and I believe I may say our opium revenue for the ensuing year commencing March 1st may be looked upon as fairly safe. At the same time I may say that whatever uncertainty there may be attaching to the question arises, I think, from our having performed the somewhat unfortunate process of—if not exactly killing—endangering the existence of the goose which laid the golden eggs. On that point I will ask my hon. friend to be content with that somewhat meagre information; I am not in a position to add anything more to it.\n\nThere is one matter I should like also to refer to. In a paragraph in His Excellency's speech are these words: -\n\nWhile every succeeding census has revealed a great increase in the population, there has not been a corresponding increase in the number of human habitations. Overcrowding in its worst form has consequently been the result; and the prevention of this evil will be dealt with in the proposed new Public Health Ordinance. However, as the true remedy is to be found in increased house accommodation for the labouring classes, it will be necessary to expand the city.\n\nI propose only to detain the Council one moment in pointing out that it is not only the Chinese labouring classes who stand sorely in need of increased house accommodation. Some of us would be simply horrified if we saw the places in which our own clerks live. Some of the boys, perhaps, sir, they do not feel so much the sting and unwholesome nature of the dens in which they are compelled to reside. But there is a class, the class of English clerks of the poorer sort, and more especially the class of artisans and foremen of manufactories, an increasing class daily rising around us, who really can hardly obtain house accommodation they can afford to pay for at any price which gives; and when they do obtain it, it is of a most unsatisfactory character.\n\nI do hope the expansion of the town His Excellency has alluded to will provide a reasonable amount of accommodation for people of that class, for my impression is that it is the worst provided class in the colony in this respect. The Chinese get the accommodation which pleases them, though it may be accommodation of a most repulsive character for us; but the European clerk or artisan is destitute almost of a place in which to lay his head.\n\nThe COLONIAL SECRETARY—I may add a few words to what my hon. friend has said about the opium revenue. I do not anticipate any falling off from the revenue of last year, which has been the largest ever collected. The applications for the licences to commence on the 1st March are coming in, and we hope to obtain a larger amount this year than last year.\n\nThere is another point on which my hon. friend (Mr. Johnson) made a remark, the standing orders. I am happy to be able to assure him His Excellency the Governor intends to take a very early opportunity of asking the Council to appoint a committee to revise these orders. They are most incomplete and inconvenient, and the inconvenience has often been experienced. For instance, one rule says two days' notice shall be given of any meeting of Council, and another that no question can be asked without three days' notice being given. It may happen I give notice in the name of the Governor that a meeting of the Council will be held two days from this, and the hon. member cannot put a question because that would require three days' notice.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN—I believe all the hon. members have seen the address in reply which has been prepared, but if any member wishes to propose any addition or alteration we had better have it read, if not perhaps it would be as well to have it taken as read.\n\nThe SURVEYOR-GENERAL—I have to suggest a verbal alteration in paragraph 15. It is of no great importance.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN—Perhaps the Clerk had better read the address.\n\nThe address was then read.\n\nThe SURVEYOR-GENERAL—I beg to move a slight amendment to paragraph 15, which I think would more correctly read as follows:—“We learn with satisfaction the completion of the Breakwater and the Observatory, and the progress already made in such important and necessary works as the Taitam Harbour Works,” etc. The paragraph as it stands would infer we are glad to learn the progress made with works that have been already completed some time. The alteration is verbal merely, but we may as well have it correct. I think I would also add the Central Market, which is also a public matter, making the concluding portion of the paragraph read, “and that the new Central School and new Central Market will be commenced forthwith.”\n\nHon. P. Ryrie seconded, and the alteration was made.\n\nThe question was then put that the address do pass, and was carried nem. con.\n\nThe COLONIAL SECRETARY—I have to move that the address be presented to His Excellency the Governor by the mover and seconder, and I have the honour to announce I have ascertained from the Governor he will be happy to receive these gentlemen to-morrow at one o'clock.\n\nThe COLONIAL TREASURER seconded. Carried nem. con.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN then adjourned the Council until four o'clock to-day for the purpose of passing the Jury List.\n\nPage 334", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-215 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1884 [1-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 325084, "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": "CO129-215 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1884 [1-4]", "page_number": 344, "title": "CO129-215 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1884 [1-4]", "content_text": "4\n\n342\n\nthat, in the opinion of the Attorney General (Mr. O'Malley), I was not enabled, by the terms of the \"Additional Instructions\" of the 8th December ultimo, to do more than to appoint, provisionally, four Unofficial members, and that the fifth Unofficial member could not be appointed without a special instruction from Your Lordship.\n\n5.\n\nUnder these circumstances, I proposed to appoint provisionally the four senior members (Mussro Ryrie, Johnson, Jackson, and Cassoon) as named in my despatch nos referred to above, and to inform Mr. Wong-Shing of the merely temporary and technical delay which would prevent his taking his seat along with the other new Members at the first opening of the session.\n\n6.\n\nStrong representations were made to me, by the Registrar General (Mr. Stewart), Mr. Justice Russell, and by other gentlemen well acquainted with Chinese feelings and opinions, that such a course would probably lead to...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-215 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1884 [1-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 325085, "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": "CO129-215 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1884 [1-4]", "page_number": 345, "title": "CO129-215 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1884 [1-4]", "content_text": "343\n\nlead to much misconstruction and \n\nembarrassment; that it would be \n\nimpossible to persuade the Chinese \n\nthat the \n\ndelay \n\ngiven general satisfaction to all \n\nclasses in Hongkong, would, in all probability, refuse absolutely to take \n\nhis seat at the Council Board. \n\nwas not due, either, \n\n7\n\nto an intention on the part of the \n\nImperial Government to evade \n\naltogether placing country \n\none \n\nof their \n\nto a \n\non the Council, or, \n\nmen o11- \n\ndesire to place the Chinese member in a position inferior to that of the other members of Council.

The ceremony of laying the foundation stone was performed by His Excellency the Governor, who was accompanied by Lady Bowen and the Misses Bowen, and the Officers of his Staff. Amongst \n\nthe large assemblage present were Bishop Burdon. Admiral Sir W. M. Dowell, K.C.B., Col. Walker, R.E., Hon. F. Stewart, Hon. E. L. O'Malley, Mr. Justice Russell, Hon. J. M. Price, Hon. A.

Du jardin (Consul for France) and other Consuls; A number of Naval and Military officers and Members of the Civil Service, and a good many ladies. Most of the leading residents of the Colony were also present, including the principal Indian and Chinese Merchants. A mat-shed tastefully decorated had been erected and was furnished with seats for the accommodation of visitors. The decorations and all the arrangements, we understand, were due to the energy and good taste of Mr. Butler, an officer of the Public Works Department, assisted by Mr. McLeod, also of the same office. \n\nThe new College buildings which will be erected on the site overlooking Hollywood Road, purchased for the purpose by Sir Arthur Kennedy as far back as 1876, will be in the Doric style, and will be remarkable rather for their severe and academic simplicity and their efficiency to meet the requirements of the Educational Department than for any pretension to ornateness of design. They comprise a main building facing the North, flanked by extensive wings at right angles to the former, the whole forming three sides of a quadrangle, very much in the style of many of the colleges at Oxford and Cambridge. The main block, which is three storied, includes a large Examination Hall or theatre, designed to hold 700 students. Spacious galleries run round the four sides of the Hall, and these, together with the auditorium, are approachable from the class-rooms by ample lobbies and wide stair-cases on both sides of the Hall. The two wings of the building are devoted to class-rooms, of which there are seven large ones to accommodate forty scholars, and fourteen smaller ones to accommodate thirty scholars each. The wings also contain the College library and the Masters' offices. In the basement the entire left wing is devoted to a gymnasium and covered play-ground for recreation during wet weather, while the right wing is divided off into an extensive chemical laboratory, a scholars' day room, luncheon and cloak rooms, and also a large store room for school furniture. It is intended to construct \n\nthe entire fabric of red brick with granite quoins and facings and the use of timber in the floors and roof will be restricted as much as possible and substituted by iron joists and cement concrete with a view to ensure not only a fire-proof building but immunity from the ravages of white ants. The lower portion of the site, immediately overlooking Hollywood Road, will be levelled and planted with trees, and laid out as a play ground. The new College will take two years to build and when completed will be the largest public building in the colony after the City Hall.

J. M. PRICE addressing the Governor as follows:-Your Excellency, in the name of the Head Master and the students, as well as of other friends and supporters of the Central School present here to-day, I have been deputed to thank your Excellency for the honour you have done us in coming to lay the foundation stone of the new Victoria College. We accept this act as a proof of the great personal interest taken by your Excellency in the welfare of the institution and in the promotion of education in this colony, and we trust that your Excellency may be induced to remain among us to preside over the more interesting ceremony of the opening of the new College Buildings upon their completion two years hence. (Applause.) On my own behalf I have only to express the hope that the new College, when finished, may realize the expectations of your Excellency in enabling the 700 students, whom it is intended to accommodate, to prosecute their studies under improved sanitary conditions, in airy and capacious class rooms, in enabling them to attend lectures in an adequately large theatre, in giving them facilities to undertake the practical study of physical science in a suitable laboratory, and giving them the means of improving their physical training by healthy recreation in the proposed new College gymnasium. With these advantages held out under the project which your Excellency is initiating to-day, its friends and supporters are confident that the new Victoria College will not only prove a great acquisition in respect of local requirements, but that it is ultimately destined to exercise a very important social and political influence beyond the confines of this colony in the opportunities and facilities which it will give to the rising generation of the neighbouring Empire of prosecuting European studies, of acquiring European ideas, and of realizing the advantages of the civilization of the West. (Applause.) \n\nHIS EXCELLENCY-Mr. Price and gentlemen, It is with very great satisfaction that I have come here to-day to lay the first stone of the new Victoria College, the chief educational institution in this colony, on which, in view of its growing importance, Her Majesty has been graciously pleased to confer her own name. I know that this entire community loyally appreciates the honour thus bestowed upon it by our beloved Sovereign, the Queen of Great Britain and Empress of India, in Chinese phrase the Ta Hwang Ti of the English race. (Applause). I well remember that when I first went to Australia in 1859, as the first Governor of Queensland, I announced to the great public meeting which was held to welcome me on my arrival, that the name of the new colony (formerly called Moreton Bay) was the happy thought and inspiration of the Queen herself. The announcement of this simple fact was received by the four thousand of Her Majesty's subjects who formed my audience with an emotion rarely witnessed in so large a concourse; it was received with tears of joy and shouts of \"God Save the Queen!\" (Applause). For myself, I have throughout my long career as Her Majesty's Representative in several provinces of her Empire, always been a zealous advocate for the extension of education \n\namong all classes of the people, and I shall devote to the same sacred cause whatever yet may remain to me of active public life. (Applause. I am sure that you will all concur with me in thanking the Surveyor-General for his able and \n\ninteresting address, describing the handsome and commodious College which will soon replace the present very inadequate and inconvenient building. Mr. Price's plans have been approved by high professional authority at home, and the new College, in addition to its other advantages, will be an ornament to this grand site, overlooking the city and our noble harbour, and the neighbouring mainland of China. (Applause). And here let me take this opportunity of saying a few words of friendly sympathy to the Chinese contractors, artisans, and working men, who, by their skilful labour, will erect here an edifice scarcely more honourable to the head that has planned than to the hands that will execute it. Let them be told that in England it is from their class that the chieftains of art and industry \n\nhave \n\nPage 646", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-215 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1884 [1-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 325391, "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": "CO129-215 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1884 [1-4]", "page_number": 651, "title": "CO129-215 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1884 [1-4]", "content_text": "LAYING THE FOUNDATION STONE\n\nOF VICTORIA COLLEGE.

We understand the cost of the work, including the preparation of the site, is estimated at about $100,000.\n\nThe proceedings on Saturday commenced by the Hon. J. M. Price addressing the Governor as follows:-Your Excellency, in the name of the Head Master and the students, as well as of other friends and supporters of the Central School present here to-day, I have been deputed to thank your Excellency for the honour you have done us in coming to lay the foundation stone of the new Victoria College. We accept this act as a proof of the great personal interest taken by your Excellency in the welfare of the institution and in the promotion of education in this colony, and we trust that your Excellency may be induced to remain among us to preside over the more interesting ceremony of the opening of the new College Buildings upon their completion two years hence. (Applause.) On my own behalf I have only to express the hope that the new College, when finished, may realize the expectations of your Excellency in enabling the 700 students, whom it is intended to accommodate, to prosecute their studies under improved sanitary conditions, in airy and capacious class rooms, in enabling them to attend lectures in an adequately large theatre, in giving them facilities to undertake the practical study of physical science in a suitable laboratory, and giving them the means of improving their physical training by healthy recreation in the proposed new College gymnasium. With those advantages held out under the project which your Excellency is initiating to-day, its friends and supporters are confident that the new Victoria College will not only prove a great acquisition in respect of local requirements, but that it is ultimately destined to exercise a very important social and political influence beyond the confines of this colony in the opportunities and facilities which it will give to the rising generation of the neighbouring Empire of prosecuting European studies, of acquiring European ideas, and of realizing the advantages of the civilization of the West. (Applause.)\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY-Mr. Price and gentlemen, It is with very great satisfaction that I have come here to-day to lay the first stone of the new Victoria College, the chief educational institution in this colony, on which, in view of its growing importance, Her Majesty has been graciously pleased to confer her own name. I know that this entire community loyally appreciates the honour thus bestowed upon it by our beloved Sovereign, the Queen of Great Britain and Empress of India, in Chinese phrase the Tu Whang Ti of the English race. (Applause). I well remember that when I first went to Australia in 1859, as the first Governor of Queensland, I announced to the great public meeting which was held to welcome me on my arrival, that the name of the new colony (formerly called Moreton Bay) was the happy thought and inspiration of the Queen herself. The announcement of this simple fact was received by the four thousand of Her Majesty's subjects who formed my audience with an emotion rarely witnessed in so large a concourse; it was received with tears of joy and shouts of \"God Save the Queen\" (Applause). For myself, I have throughout my long career as Her Majesty's Representative in several provinces of her Empire, always been a zealous advocate for the extension of education among all classes of the people, and I shall devote to the same sacred cause whatever yet may remain to me of active public life. (Applause). I am sure that you will all concur with me in thanking the Surveyor-General for his able and interesting address, describing the handsome and commodious College which will soon replace the present very inadequate and inconvenient building. Mr. Price's plans have been approved by high professional authority at home, and the new College, in addition to its other advantages, will be an ornament to this grand site, overlooking the city and our noble harbour, and the neighbouring mainland of China. (Applause). And here let me take this opportunity of saying a few words of friendly sympathy to the Chinese contractors, artisans, and working men, who, by their skilful labour, will erect here an edifice scarcely more honourable to the head that has planned than to the hands that will execute it. Let them be told that in England it is from their class that the chieftains of art and industry have sprung.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-215 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1884 [1-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 325439, "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": "CO129-216 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1884 [5-6]", "page_number": 28, "title": "CO129-216 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1884 [5-6]", "content_text": "27\n\nGeneral, for the service of.\n\nThe Tytar works, his salary being defrayed from the vote for \"Other Charges\" under the head \"Contingent Account.\"\n\nThe post of second Clerk at the Magistracy, rendered vacant by the transfer of Mr. Bhawani Fook, has been filled by the appointment of Ms. Ng Yiu Shing, the third Clerk thereto, the latter being replaced by Mr. Chan Yat Wing, second assistant at Central School.\n\nThe reduction in the salary of the third Clerk at the Magistracy from $1440 to $1050 per annum, has been effected in consequence of a recommendation by the Magistrates to that effect; formerly the high rate of pay granted having been, in their opinion, awarded on the presumption that the post would be held by a European.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nMy Lord,\n\nYour Lordship's Most Obedient Humble Servant,\n\n5.

We understand that the Governor and the Viceroy had much interesting conversation together, and that the Viceroy expressed the hope and belief that the fresh complications between France and China would be arranged peacefully. The Governor entertained his visitors in the Chinese fashion with wine, fruit, and sweetmeats. Besides champagne, claret, &c., there was some of the rich wine from the Imperial cellars at Peking which was presented to Sir George Bowen by Prince Kung, on his visit to Peking last October, and in which Chinese visitors of distinction to Government House are always invited to drink the health of the Emperor of China.\n\nThe Viceroy having taken leave of the Governor, with many expressions of gratitude for the courtesy of his reception, proceeded on board the Peng Chao Hai, under fresh salutes from the escort of Chinese gunboats, and started for Canton. Sir George Bowen promised to return his visit at Canton in next November.\n\nLetters from high authorities at Peking state that the new Viceroy of Canton is one of the ablest and most rising functionaries in the Empire. He is only 48 years of age, and is one of the few men in China who have attained such high office at so early an age. He is a native of Peking, and is said to possess in a remarkable degree the confidence of the Imperial Court and of the Tsung-li Yamen.\n\nThis frequent interchange of courtesies between H. E. the Governor and the Chinese Viceroys and Admirals cannot fail to be productive of public advantage in many ways.\n\nThe new Viceroy has been sent to supersede his predecessor, who was aged, inefficient, and not progressive enough for the party now in power at Peking.

In conclusion, His Excellency said that he had given instructions to the Acting Registrar-General to convey in writing to Mr. Li Tak-cheung in particular and to the members of the old Committee in general his high sense of the meritorious work performed by them during the past year, which he intended to bring to the notice of the Secretary of State for the Colonies, and that he trusted the same harmony would continue between the new Committee and the Government as had existed in previous years.\n\nThe Deputation expressed their gratitude for the cordial reception given them by His Excellency, for the assistance rendered to the Society during the past year by Government, and their full appreciation of the hearty co-operation of the Registrar-General's Department, both under Mr. Stewart and Mr. Lockhart.\n\n## 2.

The deputation, which was introduced by the Acting Registrar-General (Mr. J. H. Stewart-Lockhart) consisted of several of the members of last year's Committee, and of the new Committee elected for the present year. It has been a long established custom for the newly elected Committee of the Tung Wa Hospital to pay its respects to the Governor after it has taken over the management of the affairs of the Hospital. The following are the names of the Chinese gentlemen who formed the deputation - Li Tak-cheang, of the Lai Hing Firm; U Yuk-shán, of the Wing Man-chéung Australian Exporters' Firm; Yau War-shi, of the Sai Long-cháu, Nam Pak Hong; Li Chuk-k'a, of the Tsan Shing Yarn Dealers (Members old Committee); Lo Tso-shan, of the I'On Firm; Lam Wai-chün, of the Tung Shang-wo Californian and Australian Exporters' Firm; Lau Lan-tsin, of the Hop Hing Hong (on behalf of his partner Wong Tsün-tong); Hung Shä-shang, of the Man Tai Rice Hong; Fung Ming-shang, compradore to Messrs.

F. Stewart) and Captain Lewis, A.D.C., stated that it afforded him much gratification to meet the present deputation, consisting, as it did, of so many of the leading Chinese merchants and residents in the colony. He fully appreciated the great amount of good done by the institution in the way of healing the sick, and he felt sure that the management of the hospital would be in good hands during the present year as it had been during the past.\n\nHe especially appreciated the care and attention devoted by the various Committees in the past and during the present year to vaccination, the main safeguard against epidemics of small-pox. His Excellency concluded by assuring the deputation that he would be always ready to assist them to the best of his ability.\n\nThe **VICE-CHAIRMAN** of the new Committee thanked His Excellency in appropriate terms for the kind manner in which he had spoken of the Hospital and its work, and asked if the Committee were at liberty to consult with His Excellency on matters connected with the Hospital. The **GOVERNOR** replied that he would be always happy to receive the Committee if timely notice was given through the Registrar-General's Department, so that an hour might be appointed.\n\nThe Deputation, after having thanked His Excellency for the kind reception accorded to them, withdrew.\n\nIt will be seen that I expressed my appreciation of the general effort of the Committee of the Hospital, and especially of the care and attention devoted to vaccination. I asked the Committee if, in their opinion, vaccination ought to be made by law compulsory in this Colony, as in England; and they replied in the negative, thinking that it is better, at least for the present, to trust...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-217 - Governor Sir Bowen Administrator Marsh - 1884 [7-10].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 326367, "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": "CO129-217 - Governor Sir Bowen Administrator Marsh - 1884 [7-10]", "page_number": 402, "title": "CO129-217 - Governor Sir Bowen Administrator Marsh - 1884 [7-10]", "content_text": "# \n338\n## C.

There were present:---\n\nHis Excellency the Governor, Sir GEORGE FERGUSON BOWEN, G.C.M.G. \nHon. Sir GEORGE PHILLIPPO, Chief Justice. Hon. W. H. MARSH, C.M.G., Colonial Secretary. \nHon. E. L. O'MALLEY, Attorney-General. \nHon. A. LISTER, Colonial Treasurer. Hon. J. M. PRICE, Surveyor-General. Hon. F. STEWART, Registrar-General. Hon. P. RYRIE. \nHon. W. KESWICK, \nHon. T. JACKSON. \nHon. F. D. SASSOON. Hon. Wolfe SHING.\n\nThere were present Major-General Cameron, C.B., with Mrs. and the Misses Cameron, Major F. J. W. Davies, Assistant Military Secretary, and Lieut. T. C. F. Somerville, Aide-de-Camp to the General; Commodore Morant was also with General Cameron, and at the other end of the room were a number of members of the Chamber of Commerce and other gentlemen, who stayed to hear what passed with regard to the resolution the Chamber of Commerce last Friday deputed the Hon. T. Jackson to move.\n\n## MINUTES.\n\nThe minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed.\n\n## PAPERS.\n\nThe COLONIAL SECRETARY-By direction of His Excellency the Governor I lay upon the table copies of telegrams and correspondence respecting the armaments of the forts and defences of Hongkong, &c.\n\n## THE DEFENCES AND TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION.\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY-The Hon. T. Jackson will now move the following resolution :- \nThat in the opinion of this Council, there ought to be direct Telegraphic Communication between Hongkong and Singapore, the nearest British Settlement, and that immediate steps be taken to supplement the defences of Hongkong, by obtaining with the least possible delay a flotilla of torpedo launches fully equipped.\n\nHon. T. JACKSON-Your Excellency, before proceeding to speak to the resolution of which I have given notice, I would deprecate the idea that the Chamber of Commerce has shown any hostile feeling to the Executive of this Colony in connection with the action they have recently taken regarding the defences and direct telegraphic communication. Her Majesty has recently stated that an emergency has arisen, and it is in times of emergency that we should all act together and rally round the Governor for the common good. (Hear, hear.) I admit that some of the statements made at the Chamber meeting were rather wild, but the speeches made and the enthusiasm then shown evidenced a patriotic desire to leave no stone unturned to place the Colony (which is everything to us) in a proper state of defence. I desire to speak of men and things as I find them, and it is only doing you, sir, justice to state that from the day when you came to the Colony personally you have done everything you possibly could for our interests and missed no opportunity of showing your consideration for the Chamber, frequently referring to them for their views. Your requesting them to send a representative to this Council is an item in your policy which ought not to be forgotten.\n\nI now proceed to speak to the first part of the resolution, namely \"that in the opinion of the Council there ought to be direct telegraphic communication between Hongkong and Singapore.\" I admit that this is a question far more for the consideration of the Imperial than for the Colonial Government. At the same time the magnitude of the interests involved must be our justification for bringing it forward in this Colonial Legislature. British interests north-east of Singapore are of such paramount importance that there is a very general desire and opinion that we ought not to be dependent upon one line of telegraphic communication, no matter what eventualities might arise. I am sure that the Eastern Extension Telegraph Co., who reap very large profits from telegraphic communication in this part of the world, would be only too glad to meet Her Majesty's Government in any reasonable proposition which may be brought forward, and in which this Colony can join. I earnestly hope your Excellency will see fit to bring this matter forcibly before Her Majesty's Government.\n\nI now come to the second part of the resolution, \"that immediate steps be taken to supplement the defences of Hongkong, by obtaining with the least possible delay a flotilla of torpedo launches fully equipped.\" I must say it is with considerable diffidence I again raise this question in this Council, having already so fully alluded to it on the last occasion; but there seems to be a general impression that the scheme now being carried out is entirely inadequate for the defence of the Colony, and that at the very least there ought to be two additional powerful casemated forts-one at either end of the harbour is necessary-and, further, that there ought to be some defensive works to guard the passes and the southern slopes of the island. I believe this is most imperatively required. And, sir, on this occasion, I believe the official members will join me. I earnestly deprecate discussion on this most important subject, but I still more earnestly deprecate the necessity for it, and I hope Your Excellency will see your way to recommend the additional works. This will take some time, and in the meantime it is agreed by many that a flotilla of torpedo boats should be at once obtained. I would suggest to your Excellency the desirability of these being first-class torpedo boats, and built in this Colony.\n\nThe question will now arise as to the cost of all this. I must say it is a most important one, but at the same time it is, perhaps, better for us to put our own hands into our pockets than allow any one else to do so, and I do hope that larger views will be taken in the future than in the past, and that British statesmen will see it is their true interest to go hand in hand with the Colonies, and not waste time and energy in fighting over money matters where urgent affairs of state such as defences of the Colonies have to be decided upon.\n\nThe Hon. P. RYRIE-Your Excellency, I beg to second the motion which has been proposed by my hon. friend on my right. He has spoken so fully on the subject that he has left but little for me to say. I am myself perfectly confident that no effort has been spared by your Excellency to urge upon the authorities at home the desirability of proceeding rapidly with the work of the defences of this colony. That we all know, and this motion is brought to support you, sir, more than in any antagonistic spirit to you. There are always delays connected with matters that have been referred home, and I think it is nothing derogatory to the Royal Engineer Corps in this colony to say that they may be perhaps-- I have heard of such a thing-that they may be tied down by instructions from the heads of their departments in England. They may not be able to do exactly what they require, and what we want is to have all trammels removed from those officers, and that they should be able to do what they think proper. There is a strong feeling in the colony--whether correct or not your Excellency will probably be able to tell us--that the defences of the colony are not being pushed forward with the vigour with which they might be, and it is in view of this feeling that my hon. friend has spoken, and that I speak in seconding him. I have no doubt your Excellency will have something to tell us upon the matter.\n\nThe Hon. W. KESWICK-Your Excellency, I thought that perhaps some of my junior colleagues in this Council would have spoken before me, but as no one has risen after my hon. friend opposite (Hon. F. Ryrie) I will proceed with the few remarks I have to make, which are generally to support--to strongly support--the views expressed by the mover of this resolution.

This is no easy task where Eastern and Western civilizations meet, and where manners, customs, religions, and traditions differ so widely, as in Hongkong.\n\nWhen Governor Sir G. Bowen appointed a Chinese Member of the Legislative Council, he did not select the person whom many Europeans desired, but let his choice fall on the person (Mr. Ng Choy Shing) whom the Registrar-General had ascertained to be desired as their representative by the leading merchants of the Chinese Community. On a recent occasion, when there was a great outcry among a section of the European community against the noise and other inconveniences attending a Chinese religious festival, the Government supported the Chinese in the free exercise of their rights. Sometimes it is simply impossible to carry out the views of the Chinese in such subjects, for example, as Sanitation, but that does not militate against the statement already made that, as far as practicable, their views are attended to. This whole subject is fully discussed in the Governor's Despatch No.360 of 11th May, 1885, and in the Secretary of State's reply dated 18th July, 1883.

Scarcely more than a week elapsed from the time that the gallant Admiral expressed his preference for a ball over a banquet, before the event took place, but nevertheless nothing was found wanting, and the arrangements last night were as complete and the decorations as good as if the Ball had been premeditated months before. The reasons which influenced the leading residents in Hongkong in taking special steps to do honour to Admiral Sir W. M. Dowell previous to his departure for England need not be gone into here at any length, as they will be found fully set out below in the address presented to the gallant officer at the supper and in the speeches which accompanied it. His former association with the colony, services rendered in past times, and the effective manner in which he maintained the honour of England in those seas during the late Franco-Chinese and the Anglo-Russian crisis have been deemed fully sufficient reasons for this mark of esteem. Admiral Dowell's connection with the Royal Navy commenced in 1839, and probably his recollections of Hongkong are not the least pleasant among his many and varied experiences. His sterling and genial qualities have rendered him popular both afloat and ashore here, and the Squadron and the community here alike regret that his stay in these waters has been so short.\n\nThe general Committee for the Ball was a large one, and was appointed eight days since at the preliminary meeting called by the Chamber of Commerce, which body has been mainly instrumental in bringing about last night's gathering. The Committee comprised the following gentlemen: Mr. Justice Ackroyd, Mr. G. C. Anderson, Dr. P. B. C. Ayres, Messrs. E. R. Belilios, J. Bell-Irving, S. G. Bird, C. D. Bottomley, C. E. Bowles, E. Barney, G. de Champeaux, C. P. Chater, D. R. Crawford, J. B. Coughtrie, A. Coxon, G. S. Coxon, H. L. Dalrymple, W. H. F. Darby, Victor Deacon, W. M. Deane, W. Durran, N. J. Ede, W. H. Forbes, H. Foss, J. J. Francis, D. Gillies, M. Grote, H. A. Herbert, Dr. Ho Kai, Mr. H. Hoppus, Hon. T. Jackson, Messrs. R. R. Jukes, B. Layton, Lee Sing, Lee Tak Cheong, Hon. A. Lister, Messrs. J. H. S. Lockhart, A. P. MacEwen, John Macgregor, A. McClymont, A. Molver, E. Mackintosh, J. Melville Matson, A. McConachie, H. M. Mehta, G. E. Noble, Hon. E. L. O'Malley, Mr. A. H. Percival, Sir George Phillippo, Mr. L. Poosnecker, Hon. J. M. Price, Mr. W. H. Ray, Mr. A. G. Romano, Capt. Rumsey, Hon. P. Ryrie, Hon. F. D. Sassoon, Messrs. Hormusjee Setus, A. F. Smith, Capt. Steibel, Hon. F. Stewart, Messrs. A. G. Stokes, A. P. Stokes, J. Thorburn, Wei Ayuk, A. Westland, T. H. Whitehead, H. E. Wodehouse, and Hon. Wong Shing.\n\nThe hard work fell into the hands of gentlemen endowed with plenty of energy, and the result of their efforts must have been very gratifying to them, as the City Hall was made to look most charming in every section, and all the arrangements were so well devised that the affair passed off with the greatest éclat and without a single hitch. The working sub-committees were composed as follows:\n\n| Committee | Members |\n| --- | --- |\n| Decoration Committee | The Hon. J. M. Price (Surveyor-General), Captain R. M. Rumsey, and Messrs. A. Coxon and J. B. Coughtrie |\n| Supper Committee | Messrs. A. McClymont and J. Macgregor |\n| Dancing and Music Committee | Messrs. C. E. Bowles and G. S. Coxon |\n| Address Committee | Messrs. MacEwen, Mackintosh, and Francis |\n\nMr. J. Melville-Matson, who kindly volunteered to perform the very onerous duties of honorary secretary, was indefatigable in his exertions, and in the time at his disposal he accomplished wonders, being doubtless greatly assisted by the experience gained by him in a similar position last year on the occasion of the first St. George's Ball in this colony.\n\nThe heaviest work fell upon the Decoration Committee, who achieved a signal success. Mr. Price, with the resources of the Survey Department at his command, undertook the lion's share of the work: the entrance hall, staircase, landings, ante-room, and St. George's Hall. St. Andrew's Hall, the Theatre (Supper Room), &c., were in the hands of the other gentlemen, and by this division of labour two distinct styles of decoration were apparent, giving pleasing variety.\n\nCommencing with the approach to the building, the exterior was brilliantly illuminated by a large gas star over the entrance, and several powerful patent standard burners. The entrance hall disclosed a most attractive vista up the grand staircase. Every column was closely wreathed with spiral ropes of green leaves. On each column was a large gilt shield hanging from three large gilt tridents, and on the face of each shield were either the initials \"W. D.\", or Admiral Dowell's crest, a lion rampant. Round the base of each pillar was a bed of pot plants and shrubs. Passing up the stairs, the stone balustrade was covered with green wreaths and silver sprays, pot plants were placed on either side all the way up, and as far as the first landing a 64-pounder conical shell stood at each side of every stair, making a most effective border. On each of the three large windows on the first landing was a large round gilded shield, with a deep green border, on which were respectively the letters W., M., D., Admiral Dowell's initials. At the head of the stairs stood two brass howitzers mounted on a carriage, and the space of wall around was filled in with pot plants and foliage. On the pilasters all round this landing were similar gilded shields and tridents to those below, being Admiral Dowell's initials or crest, these being surrounded by sprays of bamboo leaves. On the wall spaces between the pilasters were gilded anchors, and above these were round targets in red and gold, with a green moss edging, and a fringe of bright cutlasses, on which were either the crest or monogram of the guest of the evening. From the level of the bottom of the windows to the top of the stairs was hung a wreath in small festoons, and in the centre of each festoon a silvered palm leaf, which had the appearance of the inner side of a marine shell. All the devices were well surrounded by sprays of green foliage and plants.\n\nSt. George's Hall was not profusely decorated, but it was treated with great taste and effect. Festoons of green wreaths depended from the head of each pilaster, and at the top of the pedestal of each was placed a small bank of moss and ferns, from which sprung graceful fronds of maiden hair fern. At the north end there was a large mirror, which was surrounded by pot plants and foliage, and in each doorway was suspended a basket of flowers.

The most noticeable feature of the adornment of this hall, however, was an array of shields over each door. On each shield was emblazoned the name of a vessel in which Admiral Dowell had served during his long naval career. By a somewhat remarkable and convenient coincidence, Admiral Dowell has served on just as many vessels of the British Navy as there are doors in this hall—16 in all—so that there was a fresh name for every shield. Commencing with the earliest they were as follows: \"Druid, 1839 to 1842;\" \"Blenheim, 1842 to 1843;\" \"Racer, 1843 to 1845;\" \"Eagle, 1845 to 1848;\" \"Excellent, 1848;\" \"Albion, 1850 to 1855;\" \"Rodney, 1857 to 1858;\" \"Barossa, 1862 to 1864;\" \"Euryalus, 1864 to 1865;\" \"Leander, 1865 to 1866;\" \"Britlesnake, 1867 to 1871;\" \"Hercules, 1872 to 1875;\" \"Black Prince, 1877 to 1878;\" \"Revenge, 1878 to 1880;\" \"Mirobtur, 1882 to 1883;\" \"Audacious, 1884 to 1885.\"\n\nThe ante-room was adorned in a somewhat similar manner, save that there were none of these shields, but on the walls there were instead the large gilded shields and tridents as described above, which were surrounded by sprays of hamboo leaves. There was the usual array of seats of all kinds, and the pink globes of the gas burners had a pretty effect.\n\n## St. Andrew's Hall\nSt. Andrew's Hall was decorated in a somewhat different manner to St. George's Hall, and was in its way also very effectively treated. The main decorations were at the east end of the room.\n\nOver the central window flags and foliage were grouped artistically, in the centre being the flag of the colony and that of Admiral Dowell crossed and linked together with a true lover's knot, on which was inscribed the words \"Should acquaintance be forgot.\" Beside and below this were devices representing the sailors' badge—the Crown, the Anchor, and the Wreath—the crown in gold and jewels, the anchor in silver, with a rope winding round, and the wreath in green leaves. Above the flags was a star composed of cutlasses and ramrods. At the opposite end, the fireplace was concealed by pot plants, shrubs, green moss, and other foliage, mixed with which silvered palm leaves glittered in the light, and the sailors' badge was to be seen here also. A very noticeable feature in this room was an array of round shields, covered with red cloth—one on each pilaster. The shields had a border of green moss, and Admiral Dowell's monogram was very chastely executed in the centre. Beneath this, at the top of the pedestal, was placed a bed of moss and flowers, and at the base there were pot plants. A green wreath hung in festoons all round the hall, looped up at the top of each pilaster, and from each festoon depended a circle of green moss, in the centre of which was some device—a crown or an anchor. The gas standards were treated lightly with moss.\n\n## The Theatre\nThe entire Theatre—stage, stalls, pit, and dress circle—was converted into a supper room, tables being laid to accommodate 408 guests. The catering was done by the Hongkong Hotel Company, and the tables were most tastefully set out, while the viands and wines were all of the best quality. The table for the guest of the evening, H. E. the Governor, and party, occupied the front of the stage. There were two tables behind this, and all available space in the pit and dress circle was utilised for the same purpose. Pot plants were placed on the front of the stage and below it, and also all round the front of the dress circle. The pillars were wreathed with green leaves, and the arches below were similarly ornamented.\n\nThe verandah was dealt with in much the same way as on former occasions, being closed in with matting, carpeted, and provided with seats.\n\nThe Decoration Committee were greatly indebted to Mr. Westland, the Acting Superintendent of the Botanical Department, for the ready and most valuable assistance he gave in the provision of pot plants, flowers, &c.\n\nThere was an unusually large provision made for the ladies, and in consequence the card room was relegated to the library, where there was very ample accommodation for whist players and smokers.\n\nOver 500 guests accepted the invitations sent them, so that there was a very large gathering, which included His Excellency the Governor and Miss Bowen, with Lieut. Bowen and Lieut. Breeks, A.D.C.s. Admiral Sir William Montagu Dowell, K.C.B., Vice-Admiral Vesey Hamilton, C.B., Major-General Cameron, C.B., with Mrs. and the Misses Cameron, The Chief Justice (Sir George Phillippo) and Lady Phillippo, Commodore and Mrs Morant, the Hon. P. Ryrie, Hon. T. Jackson and Mrs. Jackson, Hon. F. D. Sassoon, Hon. Wong Shing, Colonel Walker, R. E., Colonel Crawford, R. A., Colonel Foster (Northamptonshire Regiment), Dr. Hungerford, A.M.D., Lieut.-Colonel Murray, O. S. D., Lieut.-Colonel Le Mesurier, C. & T. D., Major Cochrane, &c., &c. Admiral Dowell arrived at about 9.15, and was received with all honours, and shortly afterwards His Excellency the Governor and party were received at the entrance by members of the Committee.\n\nThe first dance, a quadrille, was led off by His Excellency the Governor with Mrs. Cameron and Admiral Sir W.

A capital dancing floor was prepared. The ante-room was decorated in the same way, and a portion of the Chamber of Commerce room was partitioned off and a refreshment buffet established there.\n\nThe entrance hall and staircase were also very effectively decorated with pot plants and wreaths of green leaves, presenting a very pleasing appearance.\n\nThe banquet commenced at 7.15 o'clock p.m., the Band playing \"The Roast Beef of Old England.\" The following were the after-dinner speeches:-\n\n## Speech of the Chief Justice\n\nThe CHAIRMAN- The first toast on the list for this evening is the usual loyal toast, the health of Her Majesty the Queen. I ask you to join me in drinking that toast.\n\nThe toast was drunk upstanding, with three cheers.\n\nThe Band- \"God Save the Queen.\"\n\nThe CHAIRMAN- The next toast on the list is the health of the Prince and Princess of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family.\n\nThe toast was drunk with similar honours. The Band- \"God Bless the Prince of Wales.\"\n\nThe CHAIRMAN- Gentlemen, the next toast I have to propose is the health of His Excellency the Governor. (Applause). We are met together on this occasion, as you all know, in compliment to his Excellency the Governor, and for the purpose of bidding him farewell publicly, as he is shortly about to depart from us, in all probability never to return. It is now nearly three years since he first assumed the government of this Colony. He came to us at a somewhat critical period of our history, no novice in the management of affairs, but as an old and tried Governor, with great experience in the conduct of business, having successfully governed some of the most important colonies in the British empire-colonies which have already made a place in history and which are undoubtedly destined to take a foremost place among the nations of the world. (Cheers). For his services before he came amongst us, he had already received from the hands of Her Majesty one of the highest rewards that it is usual to bestow for distinguished public service, viz., the Grand Cross of the Most Distinguished Order of St. Michael and St. George. (Applause).\n\nHis services to this community have been recognized on more than one occasion, and only recently in their farewell address by the Legislative Council-(applause)-body which, comprising as it does nearly all the members of the Executive Council in addition to some of the leading members of the general community, has naturally been brought into more intimate relationships with the Governor than any other portion of the public and is best able to judge of their value. (Hear, hear).\n\nIt would ill become me on the present occasion and in the present assembly, which is not met together for political purposes, and especially in my position, to enter into any question having any bearing upon politics. (Hear, hear). This I can say for myself that I know that His Excellency has always taken a very great interest in everything that he considered was for the best interest of the community-(applause)-and I think I can take it upon myself in the name of all who are present to assure the Governor in similar language to that used by the Legislative Council in its farewell address, that his administration will always be associated in our minds with much personal kindness, consideration, and hospitality (cheers)-a hospitality which I may observe owed a great portion of its charm to the deserved popularity of Lady Bowen and her daughters in the first portion of His Excellency's administration, a hospitality which was not slackened during their necessary but regretted absence, and which has again during the last few months been brightened by the presence of one of His Excellency's daughters and of his only son. (Renewed and prolonged applause).\n\nI am sure also that we all sympathize with the Governor in the prospect of his approaching retirement from public life. It will undoubtedly be a trial to him to give up the active pursuits in which he has been hitherto engaged, the pleasures as well as the anxieties of public life, and the degree of state to which he has been accustomed, for the comparative simplicity and retirement of private life. We have all of us, however, to look forward to relinquishing the active pursuits of life, but there is some consolation for us all if we are able to carry with us in our retirement the assurance that in the days of our activity we faithfully endeavoured to perform our various duties to the best of our ability. (Applause).\n\nBut the Governor, with his experience, need not, unless he pleases, live merely a life of lettered ease, and there are more useful services in which he can be engaged than even in administering the affairs of an important Colony such as this. There has been of late a growing tendency both in the mother country and in the Colonies to tighten and strengthen the bonds of union now existing between them-(applause)-and there has also been a growing and strong desire to enter into closer relationship between ourselves and our great kindred nation. (Hear, hear).\n\nNext year will be an eventful year in this respect. The new buildings of The Royal Colonial Institute will be opened-a Society of which Sir George Bowen has long been a member-(applause)-and which, together with its off-shoot, the Empire Club, has done so much to bring Colonial questions prominently forward before the public at home. Leading colonists from all parts of the Empire will take part in the Colonial Exhibition, to which we are about sending our modest contribution, including many from Colonies over which Sir George Bowen has had the honour during his long career of having been appointed Governor.\n\nThere will also be the American Exhibition of Inventions, which will attract to London many of the leading citizens of the United States, and to welcome whom a Council consisting of most of the leading men in the British possessions, and amongst whom I have no doubt Sir George Bowen's name is already to be found, has been formed by American residents in London and promoters of the Exhibition, avowedly for the purpose of strengthening the friendly relationships between the great English-speaking nations who have one language and one literature in common, whose great men and our great men, and whose noble women and our noble women are the same-(applause)-and who all inherit the glorious deeds and love of liberty of our ancestors. (Renewed applause).\n\nAnd to crown all, it will be the jubilee year of our Most Gracious Sovereign Her Majesty the Queen. (Loud cheers). The movements which have commenced cannot fail to be accelerated by these events, and His Excellency will no doubt be called upon to take an active part in them, and if, as the result of the consultations and deliberations which are even now taking place, any satisfactory measures can be discovered which will have the effect of bringing Great Britain and Ireland, their colonies and dependencies into closer union, especially if in addition we and our kindred nation, the Great Republic of the United States of America (loud applause)-the citizens of whom I believe venerate and respect our Queen in almost if not in quite the same degree as we do ourselves (applause)-could be brought closer and more unitedly together, it would be of so great a service to the world at large as to reflect the highest amount of credit and honour on all concerned in bringing it about. (Hear, hear).\n\nSuch a union would hold out no menace to foreign powers but would, I should hope, have a tendency to hasten the period when reason and not force, right and not might, shall prevail among all the nations of the earth. (Cheers).\n\nIn conclusion, I may say I know that I can safely assure the Governor of the best wishes of you all (hear, hear and cheers)-that he may have a safe and pleasant voyage home-that he may thoroughly enjoy himself during his stay in that old and interesting country which he purposes visiting on his way-(hear, hear)-that he may have a happy meeting with the remainder of his family in England (applause)-and, if so be that he never returns to us again, we trust that he will continue to take the same kindly interest in the welfare of the Colony that he has taken since the first day he came among us-(hear, hear)-and that, again using similar language to that contained in the address before referred to, we hope that he may long enjoy the rest earned by more than a quarter of a century's service and that his unequalled experience may be found of service in the Councils of the Empire. (Cheers).\n\nI have now the great pleasure of proposing the health of His Excellency the Governor, Sir George Ferguson Bowen, and to ask you to unite with me in wishing him all happiness, prosperity, and success in his future career. (Loud cheers).\n\nThe Band- \"God Save the Queen.\"\n\nThe toast was drunk with musical honours and three times three.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY, who was received with prolonged and most enthusiastic applause, said- Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, I thank His Honour the Chief Justice for the flattering and eloquent speech in which he has just proposed my health-a speech, I may add, which derives additional weight and significance from his own high office and character, which are most fully appreciated throughout this Colony. (Applause).\n\nPage 150\nPage 151", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-223 - Governor Sir Bowen Acting Governor Marsh & Others - 1885 [11-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 330163, "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": "CO129-225 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1886 [1-3]", "page_number": 25, "title": "CO129-225 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1886 [1-3]", "content_text": "# FINANCE COMMITTEE.\n\n## PRESENT:\n\nThe Honourable the Acting Colonial Secretary, (FREDERICK STEWART, LL.D.), Chairman. \nHis Honour the Chief Justice, (Sir GEORGE PHILLIPPO, Knt.). \nThe Honourable the Attorney General, (EDWARD Loughlin O'Malley). \nThe Colonial Treasurer, (ALFRED LISTER). \nThe Surveyor General (JOHN MACNEILE PRICE). \nPHINEAS RYRIE. \nFREDERICK DAVID Sassoon. \nTHOMAS JACKSON. \nWONG SHING.\n\n## ABSENT:\n\nThe Honourable the Colonial Secretary, (WILLIAM HENRY MARSH, C.M.G.), on leave. \nWILLIAM KESWICK, on leave.\n\nThe Committee meet this day pursuant to notice.\n\nThe Minutes of the last Meeting, held on the 23rd ultimo, are read and confirmed.\n\nRead the various Minutes of His Excellency the Governor in connexion with the following Votes:-\n\n| Vote | Description | Amount |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| C.8.0. 2021 of 1885 | **Medical** - For general overhaul and repairs to Health Officer's Steam-launch Blanche, and hire of Steam-launch while the above repairs are being executed, 10 days, at $5 per day | $210.00 + $50.00 = $260.00 |\n| C.S.0. 2421 of 1885 | **Gaol** - For rent of a house in Wyndham Street to be used as a Prison for females, at $10 per month, for 2 months, (October and November) | $80.00 |\n| Mis.

P. Stokes, appeared for the prosecution, Mr. Caldwell defended.\n\nMr. Stokes briefly opened the case, stating the facts as disclosed by the evidence below, and informing his Worship that he charged the prisoners with committing an assault upon Chang Chi, and under Sec. 7 of Ordinance 2 of 1875, with having unlawfully detained him.\n\nThe complainant, who seemed to be unwell, was examined in a squatting position in the witness box. He said he was master of the Kum Cheung Fat junk trading between Hongkong and Taiwan. At about eight a.m. the previous morning, while he was at the Hing Fat shop in Queen's-street, a number of armed men came into that establishment, and without saying anything they at once seized him, bandcuffed him, and put chains upon his ankles. The seven prisoners and another man whom he had seen outside the court were the ones who had been concerned in this. They made him lie down upon the ground, and wanted to take him on board their ship, but the master of the shop, Akwok, and some of his fokia, who were present, would not let them. The prisoners did not say on what account they wanted him. He had never seen them before, and had no idea why they seized him.\n\nCross-examined by Mr. Caldwell—Witness had been master of the Kum Cheung Fat junk about four months, and the junk formerly belonged to his brother, Cheung Kit Kwong, who was killed by the Custom House people. His brother had been master of that junk about three years, and during that time witness never went out in her, but used to go fishing in a small boat.\n\nMr. Stokes, at this stage, applied to his Worship for a warrant for the arrest of the man outside the Court referred to by the complainant.\n\nMr. Caldwell contended that a warrant could not be issued, as this was only a charge of assault. A summons only could be issued.\n\nMr. Stokes admitted that the case was one of aggravated assault, and therefore under those circumstances a warrant could be issued.\n\nMr. Caldwell said this was not a case of aggravated assault, and a warrant could not be issued. The man referred to was an officer of the Chinese Government, and he should be ready to produce him at all times without a warrant. He should protest against the officer being charged with the other men. He was not arrested with them, and there was no fear of his running away. Mr. Stokes submitted that if this man was a party to the act in which the prisoners were concerned he should be tried also.\n\nMr. Caldwell offered, upon condition that the officer was not placed with the prisoners, to produce him.\n\nThis course was agreed to, and the officer, who gave the name of Chun Ti Hi, was then called into court.\n\nThe complainant said this was not the man he referred to, but the other man who had been concerned in his seizure was still outside the court.\n\nMr. Stokes withdrew the charge against this person, and the complainant was taken outside to point out the man he referred to. He pointed out a petty officer of the gunboat, named Lau Kok Lin, who was then arrested and made the 8th defendant.\n\nThe complainant, in answer to Mr. Caldwell's further cross-examination, went on to give evidence to the following effect. He lived at a city called Hin Wah, and never went out in the junk with his brother, who traded with Paktau, Formosa, and Hongkong. The junk was not licensed at Hongkong, but it got a paper from the Harbour Office every time it came here. There were neither English nor Chinese figures on the bows of the junk. Witness was staying at the Hing Fat shop at the time he was arrested. In the eighth moon of last Chinese year he was at home at Hin Wah, and in the ninth moon he went to Paktau, near Ping Hoi.\n\nMr. Stokes objected that this line of cross-examination was irrelevant to the case.\n\nMr. Caldwell contended that he had a right to go into any matters he thought fit in cross-examination.\n\nHis Worship ruled that the questions were not in order.\n\nCross-examination continued.—Over ten men came into the shop when witness was seized, and Lau Sin, the last defendant, was the first man who entered, and the seventh man tied him up by the order of the eighth. They put him down with his face upon the ground, and he did not see what the other men did. Witness arrived in the colony in the same junk on the 20th November last.\n\nHis Worship cautioned the defendant that he was not called upon to answer any question which might incriminate himself.\n\nCross-examination continued. When witness came here in November he came from his village, and brought no cargo. The junk left on the 16th December, but he remained behind as he was sick. His fokia cleared the junk at the Harbour Office.\n\nRe-examined by Mr. Stokes.—The eighth defendant came into the Hing Fat shop first, and the other defendants came in a crowd behind him, and acted under his orders. They were all present when he was secured, which was done by the handcuffs, chain, and padlocks in court.\n\nIt being impossible to finish the case at this sitting his Worship decided to adjourn it.\n\nMr. Caldwell applied for bail for the prisoners. Mr. Stokes rather demurred to bail, he thought at least it ought to be something very substantial.\n\nHis Worship said he should certainly require very substantial bail. On further consideration he was disposed to think that the best course would be not to grant bail, as from what he heard there seemed to be a Mandarin mixed up in the matter, and there might be some difficulty in securing the defendants' re-appearance. He thought it would be better, under the circumstances to detain them in custody.\n\nMr. Caldwell—Then am I to understand that your Worship refuses me bail for a common assault?\n\nHis Worship—I do not consider that this is a common assault.\n\nMr. Caldwell—There was nothing else, no one was bodily injured, and the offence with which the defendants are charged is only a misdemeanour. It is not one of those cases in which bail can be refused.\n\nMr. Stokes—The question of bail is entirely one for his Worship.\n\nMr. Caldwell—But it is not so in this case, as to refuse bail in a case of misdemeanour like this would be to commit an offence by the Magistrate at Common Law. (Mr. Caldwell quoted from Archbold as to what definition this case came under, and from Blackstone as showing that to refuse to grant bail to prisoners charged with offences of that class was to commit an offence against the liberty of the subject.)\n\nMr. Stokes said that under the provisions of Ord. 2 of 1875 the case if determined, should be determined by two Magistrates.\n\nMr. Caldwell said he had seen that before, and he would have taken the objection before but for the fact that he thought this was merely a preliminary trial, and that the case would be committed for trial at the Supreme Court.\n\nHis Worship said that might be so, but if the case was disposed of in that court he apprehended that the usual course was for one Magistrate to take the depositions, and then call in the assistance of another Magistrate to decide, and place the depositions before him.\n\nMr. Stokes—It might relieve your Worship of the question of bail if you committed the prisoners now, and left the case to be dealt with by two Magistrates.\n\nMr. Caldwell—There is no really good and reasonable ground upon which your Worship can refuse to grant bail. It is a bailable offence, and there is no fear of the defendants running away. They have come here under certain circumstances, and they have a charge against the complainant.\n\nPage 44", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-225 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1886 [1-3].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 330230, "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": "CO129-225 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1886 [1-3]", "page_number": 92, "title": "CO129-225 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1886 [1-3]", "content_text": "## GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.—No. 24\n\nThe following Tables and Papers connected with the examination of the First Class held at the Government Central School during the week, January 9-16, are published for general information.\n\nBy Command, \nColonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 23rd January, 1886.\n\n**FREDERICK STEWART**, \nActing Colonial Secretary.\n\n### FIRST CLASS\n\n1.

The prizes were presented by His Excellency the Acting Governor, who was accompanied by Mrs. Mash. Amongst those present were the Right Rev. Bishop Burdon, Hon. F. Stewart, L.L.D., Acting Colonial Secretary; Hon. W. Keswick, Hon. Wong Shing, Lieut.-Colonel Murray, A.C.G.O.; Mr. A. G. Romano, Consul for Portugal and Brazil; Captain Porter, A.D.C.; Dr. Eitel, Inspector of Schools; Rev. Dr. Chalmers, Rev. Dr. Faber, Rev. J. C. Edge; Brothers Cyprian and Williams, of St. Joseph's College; Mr. Granville Sharp, Mr. Hamilton Sharp, Mr. Wei Yuk, Dr. Ho Kai, Mr. J. H. Cox, and several ladies.\n\nMr. G. H. Bateson Wright, the Head Master, opened the proceedings by speaking as follows:-\n\nMay it please Your Excellency, ladies and gentlemen, the total number of boys on the school roll for the past year was 596. Of these 499 were present at one time in the month of March. It might be supposed that this increase of numbers was due to overcrowding of the school. It will be therefore as well to explain that the numbers in the Middle, Lower, and Preparatory Schools remained at their old figure; the increase must therefore be attributed to the Upper School and is the direct result of the higher standard of work introduced two years ago into the Middle and Lower Schools. Out of 412 boys just examined 95 per cent. passed, the same percentage as last year, but as more boys underwent examination and the papers were of a more searching character, I think the result may be considered of a higher order. This year I introduced as a novelty into the examination of the first class a \"general intelligence paper.\" The object of this paper was to discover how far the boys' minds were educated outside the general routine. 32 per cent passed, and, considering the novelty of the paper, I hope this may be considered satisfactory. In the past year we may note the arrival of Mr. Jones, from Chester Training College, and the resignation of Mr. Hutchison on leaving the Colony. Mr. Hutchison had for three years proved himself a most energetic, successful, and popular master, and we were all sorry to lose him. A scheme for articling six pupil-teachers, with a view to providing efficient Chinese assistants for the Central School, was approved by the Secretary of State, and we are only waiting for the new building to be fairly commenced to put it into execution. I am happy to be able to report that Mr. Bosman, who was sent home as Government scholar last February, is distinguishing himself at the engineering school in connection with the Crystal Palace. Before I sit down I must express a hope that Your Excellency will be able to make some statement respecting the progress of the new school.\n\n**HIS EXCELLENCY**-Mr. Wright, ladies and gentlemen, I confess it is with some feeling of disappointment that I find myself called upon to preside here again in this room at the annual distribution of prizes of the Central School, for, if I remember aright, on the last occasion when I presided here, now three years ago, I was able to announce that the Secretary of State had decided the long-vexed question whether there was to be a new Central School and had given instructions for the erection of a new and much larger building than the present on the piece of ground close by here, which was acquired for that purpose many years ago. I confess that at that time I entertained a hope that in three years' time the main building would have been ready, and that this distribution of prizes would have taken place in the hall of the new Central School, or Victoria College, as Her Majesty the Queen has been graciously pleased to allow it to be called. The plans were prepared and the ground got ready, and the foundations were laid. The work was then stopped. I believe I am to a certain extent responsible for that - partly responsible, for towards the end of 1884, when His Excellency the Governor was away from this Colony, the finances of the Colony were in rather a bad way, the revenue was not coming in so fast as usual, retrenchment became necessary, and I had to give directions for the suspension of the work. After that some modification of the plans was necessary, and then the officer of the Surveyor General's Department charged with the preparing of these fell seriously ill and I believe has now gone home. The work has been resumed during the past week, and I am informed there are 200 men at work this morning. A sum of $50,000 has been provided in the Estimates for this year for the completion of the building, and I earnestly trust there will be no further interruption of the work, and that by the end of the year, if the new College is not completed, it will, at any rate, be so far advanced as to render it possible without much delay to make use of the building. (Applause). I have in my hand the report of the Head Master for the past year and that report is a highly satisfactory one. The number of pupils attending the School, as the Head Master has just informed you, has been larger than in any previous year, and the percentage of those who passed was 95.38. I propose to read to you only one paragraph concerning a subject to which this Government has always attached great importance, viz., English education:-\n\nThe general result of the English Examination of 1885 is good. In spite of the large number, 412, examined, and in spite of the papers being of a more searching character than usual throughout the school, 95 per cent. passed, which reflects great credit on all the Masters and the Chinese Assistants. I think a special word of commendation is due to the two new masters, Mr. Dealy and Mr. Jones, who in one year have so readily and completely adapted themselves to their new surroundings.\n\nI think this Report, considering all the disadvantages which the School has to contend with owing to confined space, the want of proper ventilation and other causes, reflects great credit upon the management of the School, and I beg to congratulate the Head Master and his assistants on their success. I wish I could express the hope that the distribution of prizes would take place next year in the new building, but I am afraid that would be too sanguine a hope. At any rate, I think within two years' time there will be a very good chance of the building being completed. I will use every endeavour in my power to push on the work. I understand from the Head Master that there is a gentleman present who has been connected with educational matters in England for about 25 years, who takes some interest in this School and wishes to express his views on the subject. I call upon Mr. Hamilton Sharp.\n\n**Mr. HAMILTON SHARP**-Your Excellency, ladies and gentlemen, there is a little misapprehension. I had no wish nor any thought of intruding any remarks, for I am a mere stranger and visitor amongst you, and do not know much of the working of the school. In the most casual way I have had the pleasure and privilege of looking at the papers, and I remarked then that I only wished His Excellency could see them as I had seen them, but I never thought of being asked to make any remarks here.\n\n**HIS EXCELLENCY**-We shall be very glad to hear you, Mr. Sharp.\n\n**Mr. SHARP**-If there be any subject in the world I do understand, it certainly is examinations and examination papers, because I have for the last quarter of a century been very much mixed up with examinations held in England at the Universities of Oxford, Cambridge, and London, at which I suppose some 20,000 of our youths and young men are annually examined. If that gives me any right to speak, I am very glad to say that I visited the school the other day, at least I hoped to do so, but I found the school dismissed, much to my regret, and I was turning away, when Mr. Wright saw me, came forward, and, to my great surprise, asked if I would like to see the examination papers. I at once seized upon the opportunity and spent an hour or two, through his great courtesy, in carefully looking through these papers, and I must say I never saw a series of examination papers - and I have seen a great many hundreds, or thousands - which gave me such unqualified surprise and satisfaction. My first thought was that it was all very fine to write these papers, but I would like to see them answered, because I have seen questions answered very indifferently. I timidly threw out a suggestion, because I knew that this might be a tender point, when to my surprise Mr. Wright at once put a hundredweight of papers before me with the cordial invitation to pick and choose amongst them at random, and I was as much surprised with the answers as with the papers, with the exception, of course, of English composition, which is not first-rate, but when you come to think that English to the Chinese is what Chinese is to us, there is no very great wonder that they write English as they do. I cannot praise the English as such, but otherwise the... \n\nPage 93\nFeb.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-225 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1886 [1-3].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 330234, "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": "CO129-225 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1886 [1-3]", "page_number": 96, "title": "CO129-225 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1886 [1-3]", "content_text": "# Prize Distribution Event\n\nThe intelligence shown by the answers was extraordinary, and the knowledge likewise. They were not show papers, meant to mystify the public by appearing more difficult than they are. They are thorough testing papers, and evidently written with the view of testing the common-sense and intelligence of the boys as much or even more than their scholastic knowledge, which is a great point. The most interesting of the ordinary papers were those on history, geography, arithmetic, and grammar; but there was one extraordinary paper, the like of which I never saw in any school or college but one; it was headed \"**General Intelligence Paper**\". You might judge from that that the questions not only were not based on ordinary scholastic teaching or to test how much a boy knew, but rather his common-sense and his power to apply what he had been taught. I will just give you two questions, if I can remember them, which struck me very much. One was: \"Describe and distinguish between the functions of judge, jury, barrister, and solicitor.\" I am told the Chinese are very well aware that there is a great deal of law in Hongkong one way or the other, and it is rather important that the Chinese should grow up with intelligent ideas on that subject. Another was intended evidently to see if a boy could apply his mathematics, and was: \"If a kite were in the air and you wanted to ascertain its height, how would you go about it?\" This does not require any very abstruse calculations, but I am afraid many mathematicians would fail in it. I am detaining you too long, but I can say that if the work of the school can be at all fairly gauged from what I saw in cursorily going through the papers, you Hongkong people and you Chinese boys and men are most immensely to be congratulated. I say without hesitation, if I may venture upon such an assertion, that the education given here will compare favourably with the education given in the best schools and colleges in the old country. (Applause).\n\nAlthough the composition was poor as composition, it was wonderfully good for Chinese, far better than we can write in Chinese, and if the Head Master will allow me, I will have much pleasure in offering a prize next year to the boy who comes out top in English Composition.\n\nMr. WRIGHT - Mr. Bain of the *China Mail* gives a prize for that subject.\n\nMr. SHARP - Then may I change it to the other paper, that of \"**General Intelligence**\"? Would you kindly give the prize to the boy who comes out highest in that paper?\n\nMr. WRIGHT - With pleasure.\n\nMr. SHARP - And possibly I may be allowed the favour of putting in a couple of the questions myself?\n\nMr. WRIGHT - Certainly.\n\n...\n\nMr. SHARP - I have no more to say except one word to my English friends round me. Good Hongkong people are choosing to give such a wonderfully good education to the Chinese - and I should be the last to take exception to it - but if you are doing it - and you are - what are you going to do with your own sons to keep them abreast of it, and who ought ever to be ahead of it? And you Chinese men and boys, for I see there are both among you, may you prove worthy of this very grand education you are receiving. (Applause).\n\nHis EXCELLENCY then distributed the prizes, and at the conclusion of the distribution, said - The boys, I understand, will now go for their holidays, and return after the Chinese New Year. I take this opportunity of informing the visitors that they see present only a portion of the boys attending the school. This room will not accommodate more than 180, whereas there are 412 attending the school, so that you only see a small portion of those who are receiving their education here. When the new building is completed, I believe the Hall will be sufficiently large to admit of the whole of the pupils assembling.\n\nCheers for the Queen, the Administrator, Mrs. Marsh, the Head Master, Visitors, and Donors of Prizes brought the proceedings to a close.\n\n## Prize List\n\n### SPECIAL PRIZES\n\n| Prize | Winner |\n| --- | --- |\n| Morrison Scholar | Chaung Tsoi |\n| Stewart Scholar | Lo Sing-lan |\n| Senior Belilios Scholar | Lo Kit |\n| Junior Belilios Scholar | Ho Man Ying |\n| Translation into English | Lam Tsun Kwai, watch, by the Hon.

April 1854_ \n\n## PROPOSED INCREASE OF STAMP DUTIES. \n\nTHE COLONIAL TREASURER-Sir, I beg to move the first reading of a Bill entitled the Stamp Ordinance, 1886. The minute which has just been laid on the table, to which I have devoted considerable thought, will really show everything which is to be explained about this draft. I may mention that the minute was written a month ago, but as it was naturally in a very rough, hasty, and incomplete form, it has since then been carefully revised, and it now embodies my final recommendations in the matter. It really sums up the whole of the debate which took place in Finance Committee on the question. I may say the Ordinance itself, which I hold in my hand, embodies hardly any change at all from the present one beyond the two small amendments ordered by the Secretary of State, which were embodied in a small supplementary Ordinance, and which are now introduced here. Beyond that, there is no change worth calling a change, and the whole attention of the Council may therefore be centered on the schedules. \n\nHon. P. RYRIE-Much as I object to increased taxation, I feel it is necessary to get money from somewhere, and I therefore second the first reading of this Bill. \n\nHon. L. JACKSON-Your Excellency, I beg to say a few words on this Stamp Ordinance of 1888. Some months ago, when we were all anxiously considering to what side we should turn for an increase of revenue, many means suggested themselves, but I think beyond deficit, it is doubt the best way of getting a ... by an increase of the Stamp duties. And even with the increase which is now proposed of some fifty per cent. in most of the items, I believe the Stamp duties will be lighter than they are in the Straits, in India, or the United Kingdom, and I am perfectly sure this is a tax that will not in any way militate against the prosperity of the port. I would speak of a spirit tax in a very different way, as one which would very decidedly militate against the prosperity of the port. I am sure this $50,000 or $60,000 which it is proposed to raise by increasing the stamp duties will be so scattered over every person interested in the trade of China that it will not be felt or interfere with our prosperity. On the other hand, if we had attempted to increase the municipal rates, I think it would have been a great mistake. I think land and property are as highly taxed as they ought to be in this colony, and after carefully considering the matter, I throw in my lot with this Stamp Ordinance. I think it the best and wisest measure. \n\nHon. W. KESWICK-The remarks made by my hon. friend opposite leave me very little to say in support of this Ordinance. It has always appeared to me that when we are unfortunately called on for additional revenue, no better tax than the stamp duty could possibly be devised. Its collection will add nothing to the expenditure of the colony, and consequently, the increase in the amount will be a clear gain. To that extent, it has an advantage over any other tax that could be devised. As my hon. friend has mentioned, the charges in connection with land already in existence are sufficiently onerous to make it very desirable they should not be added to. It is very desirable that living should be rendered as reasonable and cheap in this colony as it is possible to render it. We have here a very poor population, poorer perhaps than in any other part of the world except in China itself, and in order to encourage the growth and prosperity of the colony, it is desirable taxation of a direct kind should be as light as possible. In the form in which this tax will be collected, it will not fall heavily on the trade of the port. In consideration of the protection afforded here to merchandise from all parts of the world, to the shipping which frequents our harbour, and to the general commerce which centres here, it is only right that those should contribute something to the revenue of the Colony. On bills of lading, policies of insurance, bills of exchange, and the other documents which will have to bear a stamp, I think it most desirable, fair, and proper that a charge should be made, and entertaining those views, I have pleasure in supporting the Bill. \n\nThe question that the Bill be read a first time was then put and carried unanimously. \n\nTHE COLONIAL TREASURER-I beg to move, sir, that this Bill be referred to a special committee composed of the Hon. the Acting Attorney-General, Hon. P. Ryrie, Hon. W. Keswick, Hon. T. Jackson, Hon. Wong Shing, and myself, to consider the contents of the schedule. \n\nHis EXCELLENCY-Hon. gentlemen of the Legislative Council, I am very glad to find the measure the Government is obliged to bring in with a view to increasing its revenue to meet the charges of the loan meets with such general approval both from the official and unofficial members. I think it a better measure than the Spirits Bill introduced last year, for the reason explained by one of the hon. gentlemen who have spoken, that it does not affect the freedom of the port and will not be felt. It will bring in, I believe, about $10,000 more than it was estimated the Spirit Farm would produce, and here we have some basis to go on in making a calculation, whereas in the case of the Spirit Farm, it was purely conjecture; we had no basis to go upon, and my opinion was that the $63,000 estimated was rather more than we were likely to get, at least for the first year or two. I think it very desirable we should refer this Bill at once to the Special Committee, as I understand two of the gentlemen proposed on that committee are shortly leaving the colony, and I should like them to have an opportunity of considering the schedule, which contains the gist of the matter, before they go. I therefore hope the Committee will meet before long. The question is that this Bill be referred to a Special Committee. \n\nCarried. \n\n1", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-226 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1886 [4-5].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 330673, "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": "CO129-226 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1886 [4-5]", "page_number": 136, "title": "CO129-226 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1886 [4-5]", "content_text": "# FINANCE COMMITTEE.\n\n## COUNCIL CHAMBER, HONGKONG, 25th November, 1885.\n\n### PRESENT:\n\n**The Honourable the Acting Colonial Secretary**, (**FREDERICK STEWART, LL.D.**), Chairman.\n**His Honour the Chief Justice**, (**Sir GEORGE PHILLIPPO, Knt.**).\n**The Honourable the Attorney General**, (**EDWARD LOUGHLIN O'MALLEY**).\n**the Colonial Treasurer**, (**ALFRED LISTER**).\n\nC.S.O. 2712 of 1885.\nC.S.O. 2009 of 1885.\nC.S.O. 1838 of 1880,\n\n17\n\n**the Surveyor General** (**JOHN MACNEILE PRICE**),\n**PHINEAS RYRIE**.\n**THOMAS JACKSON**.\n**FREDERICK DAVID SASSOON**.\n\n### ABSENT:\n\n**The Honourable the Colonial Secretary**, (**WILLIAM HENRY MARSH, C.M.G.**), on leave.\n**WILLIAM KESWICK**, on leave.\n**WONG SHING**, by leave.\n\nThe Committee meet this day pursuant to notice.\n\nThe Minutes of the last Meeting, held on the 30th ultimo, are read and confirmed.\n\n## EXPENDITURE IN EXCESS OF THE ESTIMATES FOR 1885.\n\n### SERVICES EXCLUSIVE OF ESTABLISHMENTS.\n\n#### Post Office.\n\nRead a Minute by His Excellency the Governor recommending a vote of £2,767 @ 3/5 $16,197.07, for balance due by the Colony up to 31st January, 1883, for Colonial share of expenses for Postal Convention.\n\nThe Committee find this to be a claim from the Imperial Post Office, forwarded through the Secretary of State for the Colonies, in Despatch No. 54 of the 19th September, 1885; and the Postmaster General of the Colony (**Hon.

H. MARSH. \n\n(1.) The Officer Administering the Government lays before the Council a despatch which he has just received from the Secretary of State for the Colonies on the subject of the defences of Hongkong. \n\nIt will be remembered that the original proposals sanctioned by the War Office embraced works the estimated cost of which was £55,625, whilst the corresponding armament was to cost only £37,500. \n\nIt was stated in the despatch of Lord DERBY of the 17th September, 1884, which was laid before the Council, that Her Majesty's Government had arrived at the decision that the Colony of Hongkong should defray only the cost of the necessary works, the Imperial Government contributing the armament. The Council was accordingly asked by Sir GEORGE BOWEN, on the 10th December, 1884, to vote the sum of £55,625 required for the construction of these works. \n\nBefore agreeing to vote the sum required for the construction of the works there was considerable discussion in the Finance Committee, owing to an impression that the armament which was to be sent out was altogether inadequate, and the vote was passed with the understanding \"that the armament to be provided by the Imperial Government would be of the best and latest pattern of breech-loading ordnance and capable of resisting attacks by the heaviest modern ironclads.\" \n\nSir GEORGE BOWEN did not fail to represent strongly on several occasions the wish of the community that Hongkong should be properly defended, and Generals SARGENT and CAMERON have supported his recommendations with all the weight of their long professional experience. \n\nThe result of these recommendations has been that the scheme of defence has been very carefully re-considered. Instead of three new works and remounting guns in existing works, the new scheme of defence includes four new works and three new sites for single heavy guns, and, whilst omitting the works originally proposed at Quarry Bay, it substitutes a complete defence of the Ly-e Mun Channel. The weight and power of the guns have been so greatly increased that much more massive and costly foundations and emplacements have to be provided for them. An idea of the difference in the guns now proposed from those originally contemplated may be gathered from the revised estimate of cost of the armaments, which, instead of being £37,500, will now amount to £118,500.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-226 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1886 [4-5].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 330680, "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": "CO129-226 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1886 [4-5]", "page_number": 143, "title": "CO129-226 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1886 [4-5]", "content_text": "# 140\n\n**BILL ENTITLED THE RELIGIOUS CEREMONIES AND FESTIVALS Ordinance, 1886**.-The Attorney General moved, and the Acting Colonial Secretary seconded that the Council go into Committee on this Bill.\n\nIn June, 1885, the Major-General Commanding represented to the Governor the necessity of a large increase in the amount contributed by the Colony, in order to meet the cost of the improved and extended works of defence, and, in accordance with the Colonial Regulations, the Governor referred the question to the Secretary of State before asking the Council to vote the necessary sum. The Despatch now laid before the Council conveys the sanction of Her Majesty's Government to the application for such a vote.\n\nThe Secretary of State for the Colonies has no doubt that the Council will loyally consent to vote the necessary amount for completing the Defences of Hongkong in an efficient manner. The Officer Administering the Government therefore asks the Council to vote the additional sum of £60,375. It appears doubtful whether any part will be spent before 1887, but it is necessary that a vote should be passed to enable the Royal Engineers' Department to enter into contracts for the execution of the works.\n\nGovernment House, Hongkong, 16th February, 1886.\n\nW.

The only result of the rejection of this vote last year has been that the work has been performed gratuitously, but performed it has to be, and of course it will not be done gratis for ever.\n\nWe are now carrying on Money Order relations practically with all the world. The work has enormously increased, and is more than one Officer can reasonably be expected to attend to. I have recently had my attention unpleasantly called by other Offices to arrears in our Money Order work, but I am satisfied that the Superintendent of the Office has been working even beyond his strength to keep everything up to date. Should his health break down there is absolutely nobody to carry on the duties. He cannot go away for a single day, hardly for an hour. This state of things will lead to a discreditable block and an outcry from the public unless proper assistance can be provided.\n\nThe only other increase I have to suggest is that of $1 a month to each of two deserving Chinese at Amoy.

One donation has been already received from the Hon. E. R. Belilios, who has endowed the hospital with $5000 as a fund for the supply of medicine, while the sum of $8000 was collected by Dr Chalmers and others from various benevolent friends, European and Chinese, toward the cost of the site, which was bought for $22,000.\n\nThe new undertaking will not be in any way a rival to the Civil Hospital or the Tung Wa Hospital. It has a different role altogether to fulfil. The Civil Hospital is only open free to the Civil servants and to police cases, the charge for the public being $3 for Europeans and $1 for Chinese per week for medical attendance, board and lodging. The Tung Wa hospital, which was munificently endowed with the sum of $130,000 by the Government, does no work in the way of training students, and in it the old quackery modes of treatment are still observed, which must greatly militate against its doing much good. The field therefore lies open for an extensive work in the Alice Memorial Hospital. There, it is to be hoped in course of time, students will be reared who will carry the benefits of the medical skill and knowledge into the heart of China, and Hongkong thus become a centre of much wider influence than at present. When the scheme of teaching has been started, the English Doctors in Hongkong, it is expected, will give lectures on the different branches of medical science. Hong-kong has particular facilities in carrying on this work, as no other port in the Far East has such a number of skilled English Doctors ready and willing for such labour. At all times five Doctors may be counted on to give lectures to the students, and as occasion requires help may be offered by the naval and army Doctors at this station. It besides is the natural complement of the higher education granted by the Government Central School. Of what good is it to educate Chinese boys to a high standard when there is no means of completing that education so as to open up a useful profession to them? At present the better educated boys are mostly absorbed as clerks in the Chinese Government employ where, if there reports are to be believed, they are far from well trusted, and are remunerated in a miserable manner altogether incompatible with the care and trouble spent in their education. It is to be hoped that the institution of which the foundation stone was laid to-day will be the means of giving an outlet to their knowledge and abilities which will bring more profit to them and far more lasting good to the empire of China.\n\nTHE BUILDING.\n\n+\n\nThe Alice Memorial Hospital will occupy the corner of Hollywood Road and Aberdeen Street. To the former it will have a frontage 45 feet long and 30 high, with two storeys; to the latter, a frontage 100 feet 3 inches long and 45 feet high, with three storeys. This difference is caused by the descent of Aberdeen Street, which gives the building a basement floor entering from that street. On this basement floor are the male and female waiting rooms for out-door patients—who enter by separate doors—and the dispensary, while there are also a room for the coolies, store closets, and a small mortuary 19 feet by 6 ft. The out-door patients are thus completely separated from the in-door patients; for whom the entrance is by Hollywood Road.\n\nOn the first floor and the floor above are the wards for the in-door patients. On the first floor are two large wards, one 33 feet by 23 feet, the other 36 ft. 10 in. by 22 ft. 8 in. There is also on this floor an operating room 24 feet by 28 ft. 6 inches, a bath room, and a surgeon’s room. On the floor above, there are three wards of the same size as the two wards below, a large kitchen for the use of the patients on one side, and lavatories and attendants' room on the other. The passage to the rooms on the first floor is by a covered way which passes along a verandah, the second floor being gained by a covered staircase. There is at the back a yard 18 feet by 38 ft. 10 in., which has been retained for light and ventilation to the building. Judging from the design, the building, though of a plain exterior, will be very substantial. The only bit of ornamentation is an architrave round the window. Its appearance, however, will suit the character of the work to be done inside, and the structure will form an imposing and enhancing addition to the architecture of the neighbourhood.\n\nThe hospital will be built of brick and stone. The basement will be entirely of stone, and the upper part mainly of brick with stone facings. The floors will be of teak wood, and the walls will be brick, pointed and colour washed. The wards should be roomy and airy. On the ground floor they will be 16 feet high, and on the upper floor they are open to the roof, having a height 14 foot to the tie-beam, and 22 feet to the apex of the roof. The building is situated on Inland lot No. 62A and occupies an area of 4500 square feet and it will have in front of it on Hollywood Road a new Chinese church which is being built under the auspices of the London Mission Society for the Christian Chinese in the Colony. It will be the wish of all who have the welfare of the natives at heart that the much needed Hospital and medical school may be soon in operation, and that true success may be the outcome of the labours of the gentlemen who have strive to provide this boon. The architects are Messrs Bird and Palmer.\n\nTHE CEREMONY.\n\nThe ceremony of laying the foundation stone took place at five o'clock this evening, in the presence of a fairly large and influential gathering of the European and Chinese friends and supporters of the institution. The stone was laid in the North West corner of the building, at the junction of Hollywood Road and Aberdeen Street, and the adjoining space covered in by a mat-shed, the supports of which were prettily wreathed with flowers, and baskets of flowers were also suspended from the roof. Seats were provided for the ladies, of whom there were between twenty and thirty present. Among those who were present, besides His Excellency the Acting Governor (Hon. W. H. Marsh) and Mrs Marsh, were—Hon. F. Stewart, Acting Colonial Secretary; Hon. J. Russell, Acting Chief Justice; Hon. A. Lister, Colonial Treasurer; Hon. E. J. Ackroyd, Acting Attorney General; Hon. Wong Shing; Commodore Morant; Colonel G. C. Murray, Assistant Commissary General of Ordnance; Captain Porter, H. E.'s Aide-de-camp; Dr P. C. Ayres, Colonial Surgeon; Dr C. J. Wharry, Superintendent of the Government Civil Hospital; Dr P. Man-Bon, Dr Young, Dr Hartigan, Dr Ho Kai, Dr G. P. Jordan; Dr Poate; Mr J. H. Stewart Lockhart; Mr H. MacCallum, Mr J. Thurburn; Mr D.

This forenoon, in the Government Central School, H. E. the Acting Governor (Hon. W. H. Marsh) presented Li Tsun Fan and Chun Chan Kai, the two Chinese who have been receiving a medical training for the past two years at Takao from Dr Wykeham Myers and who have just passed a very creditable examination in this Colony, with certificates of their efficiency.\n\nThe presentation took place in the main classroom of the school in the presence of as many boys as could be accommodated with seats, and among those who were present as visitors were:-- Hon. F. Stewart, Acting Colonial Secretary, Hon. Wong Shing, Dr P. B. C. Ayres, Colonial Surgeon; Dr P. Manson, Dr Young, Rev. Dr Chalmers, Dr Ho Kai, Staff-Surgeon Preston, R. N., Dr Christie, R. N., Mr James Hart, Commissioner of I. C. M. Customs, Mr J. H. Boott, Mr J. H. Cox, Rev. J. C. Edge, Dr E. J. Eitel, Government Inspector of Schools, Mr Bateson Wright, M. A., and the other Masters of the Central School. There were also present a number of influential Chinese gentlemen.\n\nThe proceedings were commenced by His Excellency calling upon Dr Myers.\n\nDr Myers (who was in his academic robes) then said:--Your Excellency, before proceeding to the main object of today's gathering, I would ask you to allow me, as briefly as possible, to run over the scheme that has led to our meeting. Several years ago, in 1878, it was my privilege and honour to have to take charge of the David Manson Memorial Hospital at Takao, Formosa,--an hospital just then erected in memory of our brethren who, during the too short time he was privileged to be amongst us, showed himself so devoted to his profession, so generous a philanthropist and thoroughly good man, that when he was suddenly cut off his admirers and friends at the ports of Foochow, Takao, and Amoy--in fact at the two latter ports nearly all the residents--determined to erect this hospital.\n\nIt fell to my lot to take charge of it, and I was then, for the first time, brought more directly into contact with the system of hospital relief which has been prevailing there for many years. I need not remind Your Excellency of the great need there is in China for something of this kind, and the utter absence of any means for relieving bodily suffering. Those who profess to treat disease and sickness do so on grounds which, to say the least, must be very disappointing, not so much through their own fault as through want of knowledge of the subject they profess to undertake.\n\nMy missionary colleagues, to whom I am greatly indebted not only in this scheme for the sympathy and assistance they have at all times given me but before for the opportunities they gave me of observing their work, have for many years acted to the best of their ability on a system of training which produces hospital assistants and nurses. It was impossible for them, however, in the limited time at their disposal to give the amount of training necessary for a thorough understanding of medicine.\n\nAnother thing, as Your Excellency is aware, the medical literature in the Chinese language is necessarily very limited, and in the study of a profession like ours one wants to have at his command a large and varied field of literature, though the splendid work of Kerr, Dudgeon, and Osgood have allowed all that few individuals can accomplish.\n\nTherefore it seemed to me necessary that any Chinese students should understand a foreign language. Of course, in my case, I naturally preferred English; and it then struck me that I should obtain English-speaking lads who would come and bind themselves to study for a certain time. I also thought that I might approximate a scheme somewhat similar to that which obtains at the various medical schools in Europe.\n\nI tried at first to teach English myself, but I soon found that this was too long if not a too difficult task. I then applied to Sir George Phillippo, who was good enough not only to interest himself but kindly enlisted the sympathy of Dr Stewart, who, in his turn, was good enough to get Mr Wright on our side; and these gentlemen in placing the matter before the School asked for volunteers, when two came forward and arrived at Formosa to study with me.\n\nThey have been studying during the past two years anatomy, physiology, elementary surgery, and inorganic chemistry. The principle I have gone on was to ground them thoroughly in these subjects; and knowing the tendency of Chinese, indeed of everyone, to be attracted by clinical work perhaps to the loss of the more important principles on which they work, I have scrupulously kept them out of the hospital, save to see me operate on one or two occasions. They have not been admitted to study in the hospital. Next year I trust they will be equally closely applied to the hospital. I venture to think that by insisting upon their passing through this primary course of instruction they will be more fitted for the due comprehension of bed-side work--I propose therefore making that a sine qua non.\n\nWell, these lads came to study and they have studied hard. Of course they have a considerable difficulty in studying in China. As Your Excellency is aware dissection of the dead is utterly denied, and it would be worse than wrong to attempt anything of the sort. Hitherto this want has been a great stumbling-block in medical education in China.\n\nI applied, however, to my colleagues and friends at home and elsewhere for assistance to get over this great obstacle, and they were good enough to assist me in a way not otherwise available. I have no doubt Your Excellency has seen the models which the French make of the human body. Except, of course, in the touch of the tissue, I think these are as perfect as may be, and they show the minutest twig of the nerve or artery, I might even say fibre of muscle. There has been some misunderstanding on this subject--I mean among professional persons--I venture to show an arm taken from one of these models. [Dr Myers here showed a model of an arm and pointed out that everything was distinctly shown and that the various muscles and parts could be dissected and separated.]\n\nFor myself I think that the arm you see before you is as life-like, or rather as realistic as it is possible to make it. We have besides a complete skeleton and the books and plates which are necessary for teaching these subjects. With these subjects before them the lads applied themselves well, and with the result that I felt justified after a time in venturing to come down here and appeal to my brethren, who rallied round me in a way that calls for my highest acknowledgments.\n\nAs Your Excellency no doubt knows it is not difficult to excite medical men to thoroughness in action and summariness in carrying out that which advances the profession, or I might say advances science. I have been fortunate, I feel justified in saying, in obtaining as strong and representative a board from our profession as we can have, under the presidency of the Principal Medical Officer, and a board which combined members of the profession who...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-227 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1886 [6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 331220, "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": "CO129-227 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1886 [6]", "page_number": 303, "title": "CO129-227 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1886 [6]", "content_text": "126\n\n16330\n\nREUP REG 26 JUL\n\nI have received a letter signed by the Honorable Mr Shing Fong Kai, and three other gentlemen and Justices of the Peace, a copy of which is annexed Enclosure 11886 for your information.\n\n14th June\n\nBan\n\nEnclosure 1.\n\nTrica Boost\n\nReport and Proceedings on the\n\n201", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-227 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1886 [6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 331244, "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": "CO129-227 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1886 [6]", "page_number": 327, "title": "CO129-227 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1886 [6]", "content_text": "Road West near the Ko Shing Theatre.

H. MARSH.\n\nEnclosure 1.\n\nBefore bringing before the Executive Council the resolution proposed yesterday by the Finance Committee, which resolution involves the serious question whether the practice of many years past is to be now suddenly changed, I wish that question to be considered at a full meeting of the Finance Committee, as I am afraid that the resolution is far from expressing the views of the majority of the Members. I request the Finance Committee therefore to meet again on Tuesday next, the 20th instant, at 4 p.m., when I trust that all the Members will find it convenient to attend, and will consider the proposition made by the Honourable A. P. MacEwen or any other that may be made in lieu thereof.\n\nGovernment House, Hongkong, 16th July, 1886.\n\nThe Minutes of the last Meeting, held on the 15th instant, are read and confirmed.\n\n(1)--Read the following Despatches in connection with the first formation in this Colony of the Finance Committee:\n\nC. O. Despatch, No. 5, of 8th January, 1872, Governor's Despatch, No. 69, of 1st August, 1872. C. O. Despatch, No. 145, of 8th October, 1872. Read also extract from Governor's Speech of 19th October, 1878, and extract from Secretary of State's Despatch, No. 42 of 8th May, 1879.\n\nRead also the following Minute by His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government:--\n\nW. H. MARSH.\n\nI think that the Honourable Member who made the motion in Finance Committee on the 15th instant, that its meetings should be held with open doors, has mistaken the object of the Finance Committee.\n\n2.---The object of the Finance Committee, as also of the Committees of Laws and of Public Works, is as stated in the opening Speech of Sir George Bowen, on 28th February, 1884, to examine, in the first instance, the details of every proposed vote and measure. It is with the view of saving much valuable time in Council that these Committees were appointed here, as in other Crown Colonies. They perform precisely the same functions that Board Committees do for Banks and Public Companies, and are, as far as my knowledge extends, never held in public. In Mauritius, from which Colony the practice was first borrowed as far back as 1872 by Hongkong, the system has worked admirably for over thirty years, and meetings are never held with open doors.\n\n3.--In one point, however, the practice in Mauritius differs from that of Hongkong, and I have long thought that the Mauritius practice might be introduced here. The draft minutes of the Finance Committee are there either circulated for revision by the different members, or, in important cases, are revised at a special meeting held for the purpose. The minutes are then read at the next meeting of Council, and on the motion for their adoption, any Member may discuss them, and they may be rejected, as I have seen done in Mauritius.\n\n4.--One very important reason why the Finance Committee meetings should not be public is that the Government would be wholly precluded in that case from communicating information of a confidential nature. As a rule, most of the Secretary of State's Despatches containing instructions can be communicated, when necessary, confidentially to the Finance Committee; though the Governor cannot publish them by laying them before a meeting when reporters are present (Sen Col. Rule 188).\n\n5.--Sir John Pope Hennessy informed the Council in 1878 that he was considering whether or not he should allow reporters to be present at future meetings of the Finance Committee, but the Secretary of State, to whom he referred the question, thought it undesirable that the practice of the Finance Committee should be altered.\n\n6.--It must be evident to Honourable Members that, if Sir John Pope Hennessy did not feel justified in making the innovation which he recommended, without previously asking for the sanction of the Secretary of State, I cannot take upon myself that responsibility, especially when the Secretary of State did not approve of the recommendation of Sir John Pope Hennessy. There is, therefore, no advantage to be gained by convening a special meeting of the Legislative Council, since the resolution, if passed, must be referred home. The motion can be made, if the Honourable Members still think it desirable, at the next meeting of Council, which must be held in the early part of September, if not before, to discuss the estimates; and, if carried, I will forward it to the Secretary of State at once.\n\n7.--If the public are to be admitted to meetings of the Finance Committee, the raison d'être of such Committees seems to me to disappear, and all votes for money might as well be discussed in Council, without the preliminary examination of details, which has hitherto proved so convenient both in this and in other Crown Colonies.\n\n8.--I cannot help thinking that the Honourable Member who proposed this resolution must have been under the impression, at the time, that the functions of the Finance Committee were more important and more conclusive than they really are.\n\n9.--I assure Honourable Members that it is my wish that the fullest information should be given by the Government in all matters connected with the expenditure of public moneys, and that I shall at all times be ready to entertain any suggestions that are of undoubted advantage, and that I feel that I am authorized in acceding to.\n\nGovernment House, Hongkong, 17th July, 1886.\n\nConsiderable discussion ensues, when the Acting Attorney General proposes, and Mr. MacEwen seconds, the following resolution:--\n\n\"That this Committee, having heard read certain Despatches and the explanations of the Chairman, withdraw the resolution of the 15th instant, and resolve that the Meetings of the Committee be carried on as heretofore, until the question of admitting the public to the meetings be considered at the first meeting of the Legislative Council.\"\n\nCarried unanimously.\n\n(2.)--Read a Confidential Report by the Commanding Royal Engineer (Col. Walker, R.E.) on the progress of the Defence Works.\n\nRead also the Despatch from the War Office to the Colonial Office, dated the 19th September, 1885, which had been previously circulated and perused by the Members, giving a detailed description of the Armaments for the Hongkong Forts, and showing the number of Breech-loading and Muzzle-loading guns to be used for the fortifications.\n\nThe Committee then adjourn to Thursday, the 22nd instant, at 4 p.m., for the despatch of regular business.\n\nHon. A. P. MAC E WEN--Sir, I rise to propose the resolution which stands in my name. That\n\n3\n\nin future all matters of public interest, and more particularly the voting of public funds, be discussed openly in Council, and not, as heretofore, at private meetings of the Finance Committee. It will be necessary I should briefly allude to what has taken place at the recent meetings of the Finance Committee, because there is every possibility of this resolution being put to the vote this evening, and there are certain members present who have been lately elected or who were absent from the Colony at the time these meetings were held. Some few weeks ago papers were sent round to the Finance Committee suggesting a vote for a large sum of money to be applied to a certain purpose in this Colony. I carefully read these papers and I came to the conclusion it was a matter that should be discussed in public. I wrote accordingly, expressing this opinion. I received a very courteous intimation from the Colonial Secretary that there was no occasion for discussing the matter in public, as it would be discussed in the Finance Committee. I was not sorry I had done it, as my name appeared first in the list, and hon. members, more particularly the official members, would see the line of argument I was likely to take. In due course that Committee was called, and you will see that I protested, on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce and of the public, against the meetings of that committee being held in private, and the resolution I proposed, which has been read, was carried by a majority of five to one. On the following day your Excellency's minute was received by the members of the Finance Committee, and in due course the meeting you recommended should be held took place, when another very important minute of your Excellency's was also read and discussed, with reference to the part of that minute in which you allude to the Law Committee and the Committee of Public Works, we have heard this evening that the work connected with these two Committees has not been very important.\n\nWas 19--\n\nmy", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-228 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1886 [7-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 331743, "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": "CO129-228 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1886 [7-9]", "page_number": 216, "title": "CO129-228 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1886 [7-9]", "content_text": "privately, it is quite open to any single member to order that strangers withdraw.\n\nTwo\n\nHon. P. Ryrie-That has never been done. The CHIEF JUSTICE-It may never have been done, but the necessity might arise, and I must say with these votes on the Loan and the Fortifications the probability is that if they had had to be discussed in Council it would have been necessary to do that, for there were a great many matters introduced of a confidential nature. Colonel Walker insisted he would not give any evidence that could be used unless it was treated as confidential. With regard to the Loan, hon. members who were present must know there were certain matters referred to by Mr. Jackson which he never would have mentioned in public. Therefore it seems to me the best course is to continue the practice that has been adopted. With regard to the estimates, in no part of the world are they considered more in detail than they are in this Council-hear, hear, from Mr. Ryrie)-and hon. members will remember that on frequent occasions we have had the heads of departments up, and have examined them as to the cause of the increase in their departments, and even on the efficiency of their staff. That could not be done in public. If such questions as we are in the habit of asking in Committee were put in Council the person would either refuse to answer them, or, if he did answer them, would not give such full and complete answers. It seems to me, therefore, the better plan is to let things remain as they are, except this: I have always felt there was something due to the public, and not only the official, but the unofficial members have been somewhat to blame for not taking the public more into their confidence. What I would suggest is that when the report of the Committee is brought up the hon. member moving its adoption should explain the reasons on which the Committee has arrived at its decision, and then, if any other member wishes to explain his views, it is quite open to him to get up and do so. If any hon. member thinks on any matter suggestions from the public would be useful, it is quite open to him to ask that its consideration be adjourned for one or two meetings, until the public shall have spoken; and I do not think the majority of the members of Council would ever refuse to entertain his request. It seems to me in that way the public can be taken into our confidence much better than if we say that in all these delicate inquiries that take place in the Finance Committee we should have reporters present. I would suggest to hon. members, official and unofficial, whatever opinions they have come with, they should consider the matters I have now laid before them, and if they think, under all the circumstances, that things would not go on as well under the proposed change as they have hitherto gone on, with the exception I have suggested, they should give their votes in favour of the old practice being continued.\n\n2\n\nHis EXCELLENCY-Hon. members of Council,-The debate which has just taken place is a very important one, and I shall make it my duty to forward a report of it to the Secretary of State, giving him the opportunity of giving such directions in respect to the suggestions that have been made as he may think fit. But I regret I cannot support any recommendation for the admission of the public to the meetings of the Finance Committee, or for the abolition of that Committee. I have had very long experience in other colonies, especially in Mauritius, where the same system prevails which was adopted here in 1872. To my knowledge it has been going on in Mauritius for 30 years. Mauritius is a much larger island than Hongkong, and its expenditure, I think, is £750,000 a year. The very keenest interest was taken there in all votes of money, and they were very fully discussed: but they were discussed in Finance Committee first, and then when the vote was moved for the adoption of the report, it could be discussed again; and in any matters of importance this was always done. Now, since I have left Mauritius, they have got a very large representative element in the Council, twelve elected, besides other unofficial members appointed by the Governor, and they are perfectly satisfied with the working of the Finance Committee. It is a great convenience. It enables the Government to give to members of Council confidential information which it would not be able to do otherwise, and the fullest publicity may be given afterwards to the reasons which have influenced the Committee if any honourable member wishes it. I propose, when the Estimates of next year are laid before the Council, to adopt a different course from that which has hitherto been followed. The practice has been to lay the estimates before the Council, refer them to the Finance Committee, and then ask the Council to vote en bloc, but I propose to move that the Council should go into Committee on them as it does on bills, and you will then be asked to vote separately the sums required for the different departments, the same as is done in the House of Commons. You will be asked for so much for the Governor's establishment, for instance, and any hon. member can ask questions upon it; but I think it would be very difficult for hon. members to put these questions unless they had previously considered the matter in Finance Committee.\n\nThe CHIEF JUSTICE-But you see they have got their answers already in Finance Committee. Hon. A. P. MacEwen-May I ask whether his Honour the Chief Justice proposes to move an amendment embodying his suggestion?\n\nThe CHIEF JUSTICE said there might be other reasons for continuing the present system than that stated in the amendment of the Attorney-General, and suggested that the first portion of the amendment be omitted.\n\nThe ACTING ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he would accept the suggestion of the Chief Justice, and in reply to a question as to what the vote was by which the Council unanimously approved of the present practice in 1884 said he referred to the Standing Orders which were adopted on the 10th April, 1884.\n\nThe COLONIAL TREASURER-Sir, I am requested to ask if his Honour the Chief Justice would embody, either in that amendment or in one of his own, the very important suggestion that when a report of the Finance Committee is brought up the officer who brings it up should state the reasons which have influenced the Finance Committee in the recommendations which they have made.\n\nThe CHIEF JUSTICE-It is hardly necessary to do that if the feeling of the Council is in favour of it.\n\nThe ACTING ATTORNEY-GENERAL-Some addition might, perhaps, be made to Rule 26, to the effect that the Chairman of the Committee, in moving the adoption of the report in Council should state the reasons which have influenced the Finance Committee.\n\nThe ACTING COLONIAL SECRETARY-Generally the Finance Committee give their reasons in their report.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY-It is an opinion expressed in the Council of which due notice will be taken. The amendment was then put in the following form: It is not necessary to interfere with the present practice of Council which has been in existence for many years and which was unanimously adopted by the Standing Rules and Orders of the Council dated 10th April, 1884.** The voting was as follows:-\n\nFOR.\n\nHon.

On reassembling the following reply prepared by the Committee was read by the Clerk of Councils: \n\n(Here follows the reply to the Address.) (See Enclosure) \n\nHon. P. RYRIE Hon President of the Legislative Council. I rise to propose the adoption of the Reply to the Address of H. E.the Administrator which has just been read by the Clerk of Councils. I think we must all see that H. E. the Administrator, in his Address to us, was placed in a rather delicate position. \n\nHe could only state what has been done and what he has arranged to be done; he could not commit himself to anything beyond that, as the time that he has to preside over this Council is uncertain. I think we must all admit that he could have said nothing further than he has. I think that we can congratulate ourselves, although we are not particularly overflowing with wealth, that our position as regards funds is not an unsatisfactory one. We see from this year's returns that there is every prospect of having an increase of some $70,000 odd on the estimate that was made, and I see no reason why an increase, perhaps not so large, but a very substantial increase, should not be received both in 1887 and 1888, and I think there need be no fear as to our not being able to carry out the works which are laid down here. It is very satisfactory to note that considerable progress has been made with the new water works at Tytam, and further that, should a drought happen in the course of next summer, there are means of supplying the town with a fair supply of water by the conduit. I think we can point to several public works that are proceeding satisfactorily. We can congratulate ourselves that we have a new respectable wharf with the old respected name of Pedder attached to it. The old wharf was certainly not a great credit to the name it bore, but I think the new wharf is a very respectable one. The Sanitarium at Stonecutter's Island is also completed. I congratulate my friend on the right (the Surveyor-General) that he has not held out any delusive hope to us. It has been finished within the time he said. With the Sanitary Board there has been a great deal of correspondence going on about it. I look upon it myself in the light that the Board are only really commencing their work, only beginning to feel their way, and beginning to know what should or what should not be done; and therefore I think that any severe criticism on them might be avoided. I have no doubt that, with the addition of the four gentlemen who have been added to the Board since we last met, everything will be done that can be done, and that they only want to be invested with more power than they have at present and we will see a better state of things. With regard to what has been done towards getting a light at the southern entrance to this harbour, I think that H. E. the Administrator can claim credit to himself for being the first who has really gone into the work and endeavoured to bring it to a practical issue. I believe nothing could be more practicable than having a light at the southern approach to the Harbour. Why it was not commenced years ago it is difficult to say. I think that at any time Sir Robert Hart might have been approached. In fact I know he could have been approached on the subject. But I suppose it will go on now. I think it will now no longer be allowed to pass, and something will be done. I have only to join in the words of the Address that we view with regret the departure of His Excellency the Administrator from among us, and when he goes I think he will have the hearty good wishes of the community. (Applause) \n\nHon J. BELL-IRVING-I beg to rise to second the Reply of the Council to His Excellency's Address. My hon. friend the senior unofficial member has touched so fully upon the several points in the Address that it is only left for me to say that His Excellency's Address is so clear and to the point that it cannot but be appreciated by all those who take an interest in the affairs of this colony. I beg, therefore to second the Reply to the Address. \n\nHon. A. P. MACEWEN-Sir, I wish to remark with reference to the reply to the Address, which was considered at a private meeting held two or three days ago, which consisted of official and unofficial members of Council, that I declined to take any part in the proceedings for this reason I wished to leave myself free either to criticise that Address, or to take whatever action I might choose to take with reference thereto. I did so also because I think that in a Crown Colony like this a formal reply to the Address in the construction of which the unofficial members are also called upon to take part, is introducing as it were the thin end of the wedge to muzzle them in the proceedings of the Council. I therefore consider that I should be well within my rights if I asked for an adjournment of this Council; but I do not know what my hon. friend opposite (Hon. Wong Shing) may think of this, because neither he nor I have known anything of this Address till we came to the Council this evening. I do not think, however, after reading the Address and listening to the Reply thereto that there is anything of marked importance in it. I think, therefore, that it is not necessary for me to press for this adjournment, but if my hon. friend would like time to consider the Address and consult his countrymen in this colony with reference to certain points in it, and if he likes to propose a resolution to that effect, I shall have much pleasure in seconding it; and I have very little doubt the Council would grant that adjournment. It is evident from my hon. friend's silence that he agrees with me that the subjects contained in the Address are not of sufficient importance to ask for an adjournment, but I wish to make a few remarks with reference to them. As to the statement included therein with reference to the finances of the colony, I think it is eminently disappointing. It is evident if we are to make the revenue meet the expenses of the current year, there will be but very little of that progress made in the future which we have so ardently hoped for. At a previous meeting of this Council I ventured to suggest that...\n\nPage 83\n\nDEC S\n\nBury", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-229 - Acting Governor Marsh & Public Offices - 1886 [11-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 332110, "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": "CO129-229 - Acting Governor Marsh & Public Offices - 1886 [11-12]", "page_number": 93, "title": "CO129-229 - Acting Governor Marsh & Public Offices - 1886 [11-12]", "content_text": "Enclosure.\n\n22 dept\n\n(\n\n2.

MARSH.\n\nThe objections raised in 1883 by the Military Authorities to the erection on Mount Gough of a permanent building as a Police Station have been withdrawn on the understanding\n\n1. That the Police Station is to be built on a plan to be approved by the Commanding Royal Engineer so that it may be used, in case of need, as barracks for soldiers to defend the redoubt which will be constructed;\n\n2. That if the Station is permanently taken over at any future time by the Military\n\nthe cost will be reimbursed to the Civil Government.\n\nI have therefore to ask the Council to vote the money necessary to construct barracks for the Police at Mount Gough in the place of the temporary thatched-shed, as soon as the hot season is over. The estimate for this work is $17,000. For this sum quarters will be provided for 1 married Officer or Sergeant, 6 Europeans, 6 Sikhs, and 6 Chinese. As the force required to be on duty at this Station is: 4 Europeans, 4 Sikhs, and 4 Chinese, there will be room for 2 convalescents of each class, and the Station will serve at the same time the purposes of a Sanitarium for the Police.\n\nGovernment House, Hongkong, 22nd September, 1886.\n\nThe Chairman states that this Minute will be laid before the Legislative Council in due course.\n\nEXCESS OF THE ESTIMATES FOR 1886.\n\nMiscellaneous Services.\n\n(3.)

Not to make them a handsome present, not to do anything pleasing to them, but to put his hand into his pocket and make himself a handsome present. The park is for our own amusement and gratification, and probably certainly not for the recreation of the whole community, but only a section of the community—the section which you expect to put their hands in their pockets and subscribe towards the rejoicings. The Government have voted the money, the land is the property of the Government, and only the Government can do the work. The only thing we can do is to urge the Government on and say that if they will be so good as to get the work done this year and pay out the moneys voted for it we will put our hands into our pockets and pay the balance it may stand in need of. I put it the thing is utterly inadequate, utterly unworthy of the community, and almost ridiculous. The park would be a useful thing, but not for the jubilee celebration of Her Majesty. If we do anything let us do something that will be a credit to ourselves. I simply moved the amendment to the second resolution with a view of eliciting the opinions of the meeting. I loyally accept the decision. We are to have a permanent institution, but let it be something worthy of the occasion. As Mr. Ryrie says, we are wealthy enough to put our hands in our pockets and establish a well-endowed charitable institution of some kind, and if we are to have a permanent institution I do urge upon you, gentlemen, that this meeting should do something worthy of the occasion and of Her Majesty. I have much pleasure in seconding the amendment moved by Dr. Ho Kai. With regard to leaving the exact nature of the institution to the decision of Her Majesty, of course something must be suggested. Nothing can be left to Her Majesty except that perhaps half a dozen schemes may be submitted to her with suggestions, and she may choose one of them as most acceptable to herself. But with the broad general principle of the amendment I do most sincerely hope you will concur—that the permanent memorial take the form of a charitable institution the nature of which shall be in accordance with the wishes of Her Majesty the Queen.\n\n€ 189.\n\nMr. R. FRASER-SMITH—Your Honour and gentlemen, although there may be some difference of opinion as to the form the permanent memorial should take, I think there cannot be two opinions as to the pliability of conscience displayed by the learned Queen's Counsel who has just taken his seat. About ten minutes ago we had him contending the proper mode of celebrating the occasion would be to subscribe to the institution in London, and now we hear him advocating a charitable institution. There is certainly a great inconsistency in this as the two things happen to be as opposite as the poles. With reference to the only sensible objection raised to the Park by Dr. Ho Kai, which was that it had already been named the Bowen Park, that does not happen to be the case. I happened to be present at the little amusing farce which took place in Happy Valley two years ago, and what took place was that the Surveyor-General said it was the unanimous opinion of the people of the colony that the park should be named the Bowen Park. But the Surveyor-General had never had the sanction of the community to make that statement; and all Sir George Bowen said was that he was very glad to hear it. It was perfectly well understood that when the park was completed it should be named the Bowen Park, but it has never been so named, and therefore the objection is the merest phantasy. With reference to what Mr. Francis says as to its not being a suitable memorial, not good enough, I think nothing more suitable could be devised. A thing that is to tend so much to the health and recreation of the community is better than a charitable institution, which can only cut one way. The objection of a few Chinese is that the Chinese will not benefit by it. Who will benefit by a charitable institution? The Europeans? Certainly not; the Chinese and the Chinese alone. (Hear, hear). But the Chinese will benefit by this park; they benefit by it now. Anyone who frequents the Race-course as much as I do will see hundreds of children playing on it now. How many more hundreds will go there when it is put in proper order! I am certainly in favour of Mr. Chater's proposal until something else of a definite nature is put before the meeting. Nothing else definite has been put before the meeting, and until something better has been put forward I will certainly support Mr. Chater's proposal. (Applause).\n\nHon. A. LISTER—May I be allowed for one moment to protest against the idea that the Government is in any way pledged to complete the Park at Wong Nei-cheong? A very singular delusion seems to run in the minds of Dr. Ho Kai and others that when a certain sum of money is written down on paper it represents so much cash. A sum of $25,000, I think, was, in a moment of enthusiasm, put down as a possible sum which might be spent on a public park; but that sum was very quickly withdrawn, and the idea of spending anything was given up. Then the modest sum of $5,000 was put down and was spent. And what did it do? It reclaimed that little corner as you go into the valley, and that was all the Colony got for $5,000. A proposal was made to spend another $5,000, but the Surveyor-General said he preferred to do the whole thing or nothing, and he declined to do any patchwork. (Applause). He declined to spend $5,000 this year and $5,000 next year. He said it would simply be making matters worse; creating mud heaps was, I think, his expression. The Government has spent $5,000 to put a little corner in order, and it may in future years, if there is any available surplus, devote a little more to the same purpose. I should say that may occur, if nothing unforeseen happens, in fifteen years, or may be twenty years. (Laughter).\n\nHon. A. P. MACEWEN—Sir, I would simply say I do not consider any scheme which has been included in the Government estimates as fit and proper for the present occasion. Mr. Fraser Smith has said that no other definite scheme has been put before us, but I may say that shortly before I came into the room this evening I received a communication from a mutual friend who asked me to propose the following. I am sorry he is not here himself. He suggests, and I to a very great extent agree with him, that subscriptions to the jubilee commemoration should be devoted to the enlargement and restoration of the City Hall, which should hereafter be called the Victoria City Hall, and that a Committee be appointed to obtain plans and estimates, the same to be submitted to the subscribers. I may perhaps state the cost would amount to something like $30,000, and there is no doubt that sum could be very easily subscribed in this colony. It would at the same time benefit the Chinese and be a great source of pleasure to many Europeans, and it is a scheme I should support.\n\nThis proposition was not seconded.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN, in putting the amendment proposed by Dr. Ho Kai, said—Considering that we have declined to consider the proposal put forward by the Prince of Wales to subscribe to the Institute for Great Britain, India, and Colonies, perhaps the next most graceful thing we could do would be to leave the disposal of such funds as we may subscribe to the decision of Her Majesty herself, and that the Committee which may be appointed should be empowered to make out a list and forward it to Her Majesty, or it might be submitted hereafter to another public meeting. However, the resolution and amendment have been proposed and seconded, and it is a question for your consideration.\n\nThe amendment was then put and lost, and Mr. Chater's resolution for the formation of the Victoria Park was carried by a large majority.\n\nMr. FRANCIS proposed the appointment of the following gentlemen as a general Committee: Major-General Cameron, Vice-Admiral Hamilton, Sir Geo. Phillippo, Commodore Morant, Colonel Storer, R.E., Colonel Ryan, R.A., the Right Rev. Bishop Burdon, Dr. Chalmers, Rev. A.

A. LISTER seconded, and the resolution was carried.\n\nOn the motion of the Hon. P.

COLONIAL SECRETARY,\n\nNEW CENTRAL MARKET,\n\nMinute by the Hon. the Surveyor General.\n\nThe acquisition of Marine Lot 18 has always been a desideratum in connexion with the new Central Market project in order to enable a square or rectangular shaped Market to be built instead of a wedge shaped structure, and also in order to admit of the construction of a public street from the Queen's Road to the Praya on each side of the proposed new building. The enormous cost however of Lot 18 coupled with the indecision of the P. and O. Directors as to its disposal, have until recently stood in the way of the Government project to purchase it, but the matter has more recently become simplified by an expression on the part of Mr. WOODIN to sell while at the same time an offer has been made to the Government from a private quarter to purchase such portions of the lot as will not be required for the extension of the Market.\n\nMr. WOODIN asks for the whole of Lot 18 the sum of $335,016 plus 5,000 square feet of Crosby's Store Praya side, while on the other hand, the Government will be able to sell the residue of the lot not required for this same sum of $335,016.\n\nThe lot contains 56,541 square feet. Of this area the Government will retain 16,000 square feet, and sell 40,541 square feet.\n\nIn other words, the Government will acquire the lot without paying more than the 5,000 square feet of Crosby's store, and for this consideration it will receive 16,000 square feet of land equally valuable.\n\n14th February, 1887.\n\nJ. M. PRICE.\n\nMinute by His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government.\n\nThis proposal seems to me to be undoubtedly a most advantageous one to Government. 2. Government requires land for the extension of the Central Market. The P. & O. Company offer to sell their Marine Lot No. 18, which is much larger than the Government requires, but the Company wish to sell the whole lot and not a portion.\n\n3. The proposal made by the Company is to exchange with Government the site on which their Offices stand, five thousand square feet, for an equivalent area of Government property known as Crosby's Store, and to sell the rest of their Lot to Government, 51,541 square feet, for the sum of $335,016.\n\nPage 495", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-231 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1887 [1-3].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 333714, "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": "CO129-231 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1887 [1-3]", "page_number": 537, "title": "CO129-231 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1887 [1-3]", "content_text": "The COLONIAL TREASURER—Yes; but he is not required to inspect the godowns.

However, I think the matter ought not to be pressed on. Any further remarks I will make will be on the resumption of the second reading or in committee. The Bill is universally condemned outside, condemned by nearly everyone: People say—\n\nThe CHIEF JUSTICE—I should like to know what three weeks are required for, because I am sure the Council would expedite as much as possible if it were really required, but time is very pressing.\n\nHon. P. RYRIE—I will give one reason. To call a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce ten days' notice is required.\n\nHon. WONG SHING—I beg to say that for the last two or three months speculation has been going on and dealers have sent opium to different parts of China. Two million of dollars worth has been sent away on credit. We might postpone the second reading of this Bill to enable them to collect some of this amount.\n\nThe CHIEF JUSTICE—There is no intention to bring it into force at once. In fact I understand it could not be brought into force at once because it would not suit the intentions of the Chinese.\n\nThe ACTING-ATTORNEY GENERAL—Nothing has been said to induce me to grant further delay. I therefore move the second reading be adjourned to Tuesday next.\n\nThe COLONIAL TREASURER—I beg to second that.\n\nHon. P. RYRIE—On that day a special meeting of the Chamber of Commerce is being held to consider the same subject.\n\nThe Acting ATTORNEY GENERAL—Could not you make your meeting earlier?\n\nHon. P.

The cost of this reclamation and of a Praya or Retaining Wall is estimated at $73,000, and the value of the ground to be reclaimed is estimated at $370,000. The work will require two years to complete it. The Officer Administering the Government proposes that the necessary money for this work should be taken from the premia realized on sales of Crown Land which are not included in the Revenue receipts of the Colony.

SETH, Clerk of Councils.\n\nTHE OPIUM BILL.\n\nA meeting of the Hongkong Legislative Council was held on the 23rd May, 1887. There were present :-\n\nHis EXCELLENCY--In now asking the Council to continue the consideration of the Opium Ordinance, I think it may, perhaps, be necessary to explain, with regard to the telegram I read the other day, the intentions of the Chinese Government, as they were, perhaps, not sufficiently explained in the telegram.\n\nTo sum up the matter as briefly as possible, the limitations that they wish to be imposed with regard to the export of opium in quantities less than one chest amount to this, that these smaller quantities can be exported to Canton by river steamer, or by any steamer having the privileges of a river steamer, and by junk to any port in China, Canton and all the other ports, but not by steamer to any port except Canton. I think it is necessary, perhaps, to offer that explanation.\n\nIf the Bill is read a second time, the Government propose to submit amended clauses which we think will satisfy the requirements of the Colony, as regards the counter-proposals that were made.\n\nI think my hon. friend the Chief Justice wishes to make some remarks before we proceed.\n\nThe ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE-I should like to hear what is said first. If it is necessary I may make a few remarks.\n\nThe ACTING ATTORNEY-GENERAL-I beg, Sir, to renew my motion for the second reading of a Bill entitled an Ordinance for the better regulating of the trade in opium.\n\nIt will be in the remembrance of all the members of this Council that after I had made my original motion, some proposals were handed in to the Government against the bill. These proposals were submitted to the Chinese Government and they have been mainly accepted.\n\nAnd therefore, I now move that we proceed with the Bill. I can inform hon. members that if this Bill is read a second time as it stands before the Council, the Government is ready to make certain amendments which I believe will meet all the objections which have been made, as these amendments have been drafted from proposals which were made to us by an hon. member of this Council, which were accepted by the Council, and accepted also by the Chamber of Commerce.\n\nThe principal modifications are contained in the revised Bill which have been printed and circulated, in order that members of Council could see exactly what they were and come prepared to discuss them.\n\nThe principal amendment is, of course, made in clause 4 of the original Bill, which runs as follows: \"No person except the Opium Farmer shall have in his possession or under his custody or control Opium in quantities less than one chest.\" Well, we propose that it shall be lawful for the Colonial Treasurer, on such conditions as may be approved by the Governor in Council, to grant licences for the sale of opium in quantities less than one chest, and no person except the holders of such licences shall be permitted to sell or barter within the Colony or its waters opium in quantities less than one chest.\n\nThe purchase, sale, or barter of quantities less than one ball of Bengal Opium or three catties of Malwa, Persian, or Turkish Opium is hereby forbidden.\n\nClause 5 makes it incumbent upon the licensee to attach certain certificates to all parcels of opium sold.\n\nNo. 6 is--\"No person except the Opium Farmer or the licensed retail dealers shall have in his possession or under his custody or control Opium in quantities less than one chest without a certificate of purchase from a Licensee, except he can show to the satisfaction of a Magistrate: (a) That the said Opium is covered by a certificate of one of the Licensees. (b) That he has received it under an official export permit.\n\nProvided always that it shall be in the absolute discretion of the officer charged with issuing export permits to grant or withhold the same, and that this section shall not apply to samples not exceeding two taels covered by a certificate of the importer.\"\n\nLicensees are to keep a register of the particulars of purchase and sale in such form as the Governor in Council shall from time to time direct.\n\nThere is another change which has been made in clause 14, which gave to the Opium Farmer the right of search. That right has been taken away from him and is now vested in the Harbour Master or his deputy.\n\nThen there are some minor changes which, as I have already said, meet the objections which have been made to the original Bill.\n\nHon. C. P. CHATER-Sir, as I have hitherto been obliged to oppose the second reading of this Bill, I think it will not be out of place, if I say a few words as to the Ordinance in its amended form.\n\nAs far as I have been able to learn, in the short time it has been in our hands, certain modifications will be necessary, and I have no doubt will be allowed when we go into Committee.\n\nI may also take this opportunity of stating that I had the honour of being consulted", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-233 - Acting Governor Cameron - 1887 [6-8].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 334252, "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": "CO129-233 - Acting Governor Cameron - 1887 [6-8]", "page_number": 74, "title": "CO129-233 - Acting Governor Cameron - 1887 [6-8]", "content_text": "now under consideration \n\nabout to be brought forward.

No objection to this course was raised on the part of the Counsel representing the Chinese Government, while the other side asked for the immediate discharge of the prisoners in this case. My idea in postponing the case was that I thought any action taken in this case might be calculated to prejudice the perjury case in one way or another, and that therefore it would be advisable to stand by and wait until the other case was concluded. Accordingly the case has been postponed from week to week until yesterday, when it was further adjourned until to-day. During the last few days I received a letter from the Government instructing me to abide in my action by the opinion of the Attorney General \"which was transmitted to me. In that communication the Attorney General says — \n\n• I submit that the Magistrate acted irregularly and contrary to all practice in postponing the rendition case until after \n\nthe trial of the witness Leung Ayou, for perjury. I will therefore now resume the case at the point where I left it off. I left off at the point at which the witness, Leung Ayon, was being cross-examined as to the marks which he had upon his arm. \n\nI said then before the prosecution was commenced against him for perjury that I would hear the evidence with regard to this mark and would then allow the other side to bring rebutting evidence. I will now ask Mr Dennys to produce any further evidence he wishes to bring bearing on the evidence of this man, and I \n\nwill give the other side whatever opportunity they wish to bring further rebutting evidence. \n\nExtract from the Daily Press.\n\nHis Worship-In the first place, with regard to the proceedings that have been taken so far, it will have been noticed that throughout I have made a distinction between taking evidence as regards the prima facie case and evidence as regards the defence for the prisoners. When a witness was produced before me on the part of the prosecution whose evidence was of immense weight in making out a prima facie case, seeing that cross-examination was allowed and that in the course of that cross-examination it became likely that the story told by the witness was untrue from beginning to end and that he was merely personating somebody who might have been an important witness in the case I thought it was my duty to test the truth of the counter statement put forward in the course of cross-examination. I can scarcely think that this court is to be regarded simply as a court of registry for statements made on oath by Chinese and that it is not competent for the court, having information in its possession altogether tending to entirely upset the story told by the witness, to test that story by the merits of the other information which the court has it in its power to produce. So far therefore as the evidence of the witness Leong Ayow is concerned I must, in deciding whether a prima facie case has been made out, look at it by the light of the whole of the evidence which has been adduced regarding that man.\n\nThe Chinese Government were within their right in declining to enter into the question, but I must remember that they had the opportunity of doing so, and therefore I go by the evidence before me. By the light of that evidence I consider Leong Ayow's story as absolutely unworthy of credit.\n\nWith regard to the whole case generally, it is of a highly unsatisfactory kind. There is a taint of collusion running through the whole of it. Witnesses are brought forward who with monotonous regularity testify to certain points connected with each prisoner which if true would criminally compromise each one of them, but it is a singular coincidence that of the men arrested under the eight warrants of arrest these three should be the ones who happened to be specially connected with the tying up and keeping guard over the particular witnesses who have come down on independent grounds to testify in the case. Other points have been brought forward by Mr Dennys in his analysis of the evidence gravely tending to discredit the whole of their evidence. Considering the doubtful testimony in the case on its own merits it becomes a point of great significance that the second prisoner should have been identified as at one and the same time keeping guard over one of the witnesses in Ma She's house and keeping guard over another of the witnesses in the guard house, the only reason given in each case for the identification being that he was so keeping guard.\n\nIf, therefore, I felt that the decision of the case finally rested with me I should have no hesitation whatever in deciding that the case was not made out. But at this point I am brought up by a consideration of what there is before me to guide me as to my powers. Of course I am bound by the Ordinance No. 2 of 1850 read in conjunction with Ordinance No. 2 of 1871 and the Treaty of Tientsin. The language of that Ordinance is capable of a good deal of variety of interpretation, and in the absence of any ruling of interpretation by a court competent to deal with such matters I feel it would not be proper for me to strain my powers, but that I should leave doubtful points for decision to be forced upon me by mandamus from the Supreme Court or by such other constitutional ways as there are for enforcing orders on the magistrate. For my own information and guidance I have the following extract of a letter from the Government :- His Excellency desires to call the attention of the Magistrates to section 3 of Ordinance No. 2 of 1850, according to which the Magistrate is to commit when there is probable cause for believing the accused has committed a crime. The Privy Council in the case of the Attorney-General of Hongkong versus Kwok A Shing had to consider the Ordinance and the powers and provisions of this Ordinance. The Judges speak of prima facie evidence to justify the Magistrate in committing. There is no doubt that \"probable cause\" and \"prima facie evidence\" are synonymous terms. By the Treaty of Tientsin this Government is bound on certain requirements being complied with to deliver up criminals who have taken refuge in Hongkong. The Magistrates cannot require such proof of guilt as would warrant a conviction. It is their duty under the Ordinance above mentioned to commit as soon as a prima facie case has been made out, and His Excellency in calling the attention of the Magistrates to the Ordinance and to the case above cited would suggest that they should restrict their inquiry accordingly, as he is of opinion that to require complete proof would be going contrary to the provisions of the Treaty and the clear enactments of the Ordinance.\n\n37.\n\n134\n\nIn the absence, therefore, of authoritative judicial dicta I take my stand upon the principles laid down for my guidance in what I have just read. The question then arises, has a prima facie case been made out? And in deciding whether a prima facie case has been made out is it competent for the other side to call witnesses for the defence? I am clearly of opinion that to call witnesses for the defence would be travelling beyond the province of my powers in this case; it would be constituting me judge of the merits of the whole case rather than judge of the point whether a case for the prosecution was established.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-233 - Acting Governor Cameron - 1887 [6-8].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 334372, "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": "CO129-233 - Acting Governor Cameron - 1887 [6-8]", "page_number": 194, "title": "CO129-233 - Acting Governor Cameron - 1887 [6-8]", "content_text": "∙189\n\n20.\n\na few men are wanted\n\nfor the purpose\n\nof squeezing; at best they\n\nare only two ordinary\n\nworking men;\n\nthe evidence in the hand of the Police point to their being habitual thieves.\n\n(Signed) Edw. J. Ackroyd, Acting Attorney General\n\n13th May, 1887.\n\nThe Daily Press.\n\nHONGKONG, FEBRUARY 21st, 1887.\n\nRENDITION CASE. Three Chinese, Thu Sang Chieu, Thi Har Shing, and Ching Sam were brought before the court charged with burglary and murder within the jurisdiction of the Emperor of China. The men were arrested by Inspector Quincey and some assistants in consequence of a communication from the Chinese authorities asking for the rendition of seven men on the above charges. The three prisoners are said to be some of those wanted, the others being at present at large.\n\nEvidence was produced to prove the arrest and identity of the prisoners.\n\nMr. Caldwell, who appeared for the prosecution on behalf of the Chinese authorities, applied for a remand in order that he might have an opportunity to formulate specific charges. He also asked that bail should not be allowed and that the prisoners should be segregated.\n\nHis Worship remanded the case for a week, and directed that the prisoners should be kept separate, bail being refused.\n\nThe Daily Press.\n\nHONGKONG, MARCH 14th, 1887.\n\nCHARGE AGAINST A CHINESE MANDARIN OF CONSPIRACY TO MURDER. Colonel Li Loi, an officer of the Chinese Government, and Chun Ayut, alias Leung Yow, a hawker, appeared before the Court, the former upon the charge of subornation of perjury and the latter upon that of perjury. These charges were, as appears below, in the course of the proceedings supplemented by the more serious charges of attempting to murder and conspiring to murder one Leung Fa.\n\nOn the 19th February last three men were arrested in Hongkong upon the application of Colonel Li Loi, acting for the Viceroy of Canton, under the provisions of the Rendition Ordinance. The charge was one of burglary and murder, and the prisoners were defended by Messrs. Holmes and Dennys. The trial has been occupying the attention of the court for the last three or four days, and on Friday the evidence of the man calling himself Leung Yow, and passing as the nephew of the woman robbed, was questioned. Witnesses were called to prove that Leung Yow was an assumed name, and that the man's real name was Chan Ayut. The man was further personally examined by Dr. Hartigan, and tattoo marks were discovered, which though somewhat difficult to distinguish, were declared by the Chinese interpreter of the court, Chan Kai Ming, to represent the Chinese character \"To\" (thief). Other marks were also discovered, and it appeared that there was little question but that the man is a well-known criminal.\n\nAt the close of Friday's sitting Mr. Dennys applied to Mr. Wodehouse to detain both Colonel Li Loi and Leung Yow. The latter was accordingly detained, but His Worship declined at that stage to make any order as to Colonel Li Loi. Mr. Dennys, thereupon, took upon himself the responsibility of having Colonel Li Loi arrested. Colonel Li Loi, after being under arrest all night, was, on Saturday morning, released on a bail of $1,000.\n\nOn the appearance in court on Saturday morning of Chan Ayut he was placed in the dock, but the Mandarin, who was accompanied by Mr. Caldwell, was accommodated with a seat at the Solicitors' table.\n\nMr. Dennys, thereupon, pointing to Li Loi said—I charge this man with conspiring to murder, and I ask that he may be placed in the dock beside the other prisoner. I have strong reasons for objecting to any distinctions being drawn between this man and any other prisoner.\n\nHis Worship—I wish to hear first what reasons you have for doing this.\n\nMr. Dennys—The overt act, which I shall allege against the two prisoners, will be attempting to murder a man named Achus, but whom I know by the name of Leung Fu, and who is at present detained, as prisoner on remand, in Victoria Gaol. The overt act, which I shall allege in support of my charge, is, that these two persons have, in connection with proceedings which have been taken before another magistrate in this Colony, committed wilful and corrupt perjury, and I say that had they succeeded in their designs, they would have murdered Achus, alias Leung Fu, who is charged with murder, and who would have lost his life. I am told, your Worship, that the position I am in to-day is not a proper one for me. As the solicitor in the previous case, I applied to the magistrate who was adjudicating that case to detain those two defendants, and to have them charged with perjury. My application was refused, but the magistrate informed me that I, having seen the felony committed, it was for me to prosecute. I am therefore here to-day, not as a solicitor for any body, but simply as one of the citizens of Hongkong, who believes that an attempt to murder has been made, and I therefore prosecute.\n\nI may say that I have in my possession a sworn declaration, made before a Justice of the Peace in this Colony, of a large number of witnesses who have all declared that the evidence given by Chung Ayat, the second defendant in this case, is absolutely false. I had these declarations in my possession before I accepted the challenge of the magistrate, and took the position of prosecutor. If your worship wishes me to give a brief outline of what these proceedings are, I shall be happy to do so.\n\nHis Worship—You will have to state what the perjury consists of, and the depositions in the other case will have to be referred to.\n\nMr. Dennys then asked for the depositions in the other case to be produced at this point of the proceedings.\n\nMr. J. J. Francis, Q.C., who was instructed by Mr. Caldwell, appeared for the defence.\n\nMr. Francis—May I ask, your Worship, what is the charge against the prisoners?\n\nThe Magistrate—They are charged with conspiracy to murder.\n\nMr. Francis—May I ask who is the complainant?\n\nMr. Dennys—I am the complainant.\n\nThe Magistrate—Will you then formulate the charges and give them in writing.\n\nMr. Dennys—I will do so. I ask your Worship to adjourn the case till this afternoon in order to give me time to do so.\n\nMr. Francis—I object to any adjournment. The two men have been placed upon the charge sheet, one for perjury and the other for subornation of perjury. Either these charges must be gone on with or others substituted, otherwise your Worship cannot adjourn the case.\n\nMr. Dennys—I apply, then, for leave to amend the charge made last night. I now charge these two defendants Li Loi and Chan Ayat with conspiring together to attempt to murder a man named Leung Afu, who is at present detained a prisoner in Victoria Gaol. I likewise charge these two defendants with attempting to murder the said Leung Afu, and I further charge the first defendant with subornation of perjury.\n\nMr. Francis—Subornation to commit perjury, when and where?\n\nMr. Dennys—Suborning the second defendant to commit perjury in certain proceedings that have taken place before Mr. Wodehouse, one of the Magistrates in the Colony. The said perjury consisted of the allegation that the said Chan Ayut, who then called himself Leung Yow, had been kidnapped by Leung Afu; had been carried away by him from a place called Kweichow, in the Shun-tak district of Canton; had been taken by the said Leung Afu to a place called Whampoa, and had been detained there for two whole days. I further allege that the said Chan Ayut denied that he was called Leung Yow, and said that he had never heard that name before.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-233 - Acting Governor Cameron - 1887 [6-8].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 334382, "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": "CO129-233 - Acting Governor Cameron - 1887 [6-8]", "page_number": 204, "title": "CO129-233 - Acting Governor Cameron - 1887 [6-8]", "content_text": "The Daily Press.\n\nHONGKONG. MAY 24TH, 1887.\n\nIN ORIGINAL JURISDICTION.\n\nMOTION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS.\n\nMr. Dennys applied for a writ of Habeas Corpus in the matter of Leong Afu, one of the defendants in the Chinese Rendition case, and who is at the present time detained in Victoria Gaol. Mr. Dennys stated that he was unable to secure the services of counsel. There were at present only three counsel acting as such in the Colony; of these Mr. Francis was prosecuting in this case. Mr. Brereton stated that he was retained by the Chinese Government, and Dr. Ho Kai had been applied to by the Chinese Government but had refused to act for either side. He therefore put in an affidavit which he had filed.\n\nThe affidavit stated that Leong Afu was at present detained in Victoria Gaol under a warrant signed by Mr. Wodehouse, although the said Leong Afu had not been found guilty of any offence against the laws of this Colony or those of China. He had been charged with others with robbery and murder committed in Chinese territory on the night of 9th October, 1886. That he had stated that the evidence of Li Loi and Leong Ayau, the chief witnesses for the prosecution, had been guilty of subornation of perjury and of perjury; and at the request of the Magistrate had called witnesses to prove that Leong Ayau was not the person he represented himself to be, but a convicted and branded criminal. He had afterwards charged Li Loi and Leong Ayau with perjury, and that while that case was proceeding, without any previous notice to himself or any enquiry as to how far he was able to support his charge, the Acting Attorney-General stopped the further hearing of the case against Li Loi. That Leong Ayau had been committed for trial at the Supreme Court, but that the Acting Attorney-General caused him to be discharged by proclamation. That at the conclusion of the case against Leong Afu, although the Magistrate stated he believed Leong Ayau's evidence to be unworthy of belief, he (the Magistrate), acting under instructions from the Government, refused to release Leong Afu. That he had since applied to the Acting Governor for the immediate discharge of Leong Afu but had been informed that it had been decided to surrender the accused to the Chinese Authorities. That the Acting Governor, so far as he was aware, had made no enquiries as to the guilt or innocence of Leong Afu nor examined any witnesses who could give evidence in his behalf.\n\nMr. Dennys then put in and read the warrant by virtue of which Leong Afu is detained in Victoria Gaol.\n\nMr. Dennys based his argument against the accused being given up on article 2 of the Treaty of Tientsin, which he said distinctly stated that a prisoner should only be delivered over to the Chinese authorities when he had been tried and found guilty of the offence imputed to him. Leong Afu had not been found guilty, and therefore his Lordship would be quite justified in granting the writ asked for.\n\nHis Lordship granted the writ and adjourned the further hearing of the case to 30th May.\n\nPage 199\n\nThe Daily Press.\n\nHONGKONG, June 1st, 1887.\n\nTHE CHINESE RENDITION CASE-APPLICATION FOR DISCHARGE OF LEUNG AFU.\n\nMr. Dennys applied for the discharge of Leung Afu, one of the defendants in the Chinese rendition case.\n\nMr. J. J. Francis, Q.C., instructed by Messrs. Caldwell and Wilkinson, appeared on behalf of the Chinese Government to oppose the discharge; Mr. Wodehouse, the Magistrate by virtue of whose warrant the defendant is detained, appeared on his own behalf; and the Acting Attorney-General watched the case on behalf of the Government.\n\nMr. Dennys objected to Mr. Francis appearing for the Chinese Government. They had no locus standi in the matter. The case was simply between the Supreme Court and the Gaol.\n\nThe Court decided in favour of Mr. Francis being allowed to appear for the Chinese Government.\n\nMr. Dennys said he applied for the return of a writ of certiorari and for the discharge from custody of Leung Afu as he was not detained under any legal warrant of conviction or committal. The warrant was bad on the face of it. It did not cite any offence over which the Magistrate had jurisdiction. Again, the warrant said \"whereas Leung Afu having been duly convicted, &c.,\" but the defendant had not been convicted of any offence.\n\nThe Acting Chief Justice said that the Magistrate had committed the man to Gaol pending the orders of the Governor.\n\nMr. Dennys said he was quite prepared to show that the warrant of commitment must contain a recital of the conviction.\n\nMr. Francis said that it was the usual practice for the writs for certiorari and habeas corpus to be applied for at the same time and both dealt with together.\n\nThe Acting Chief Justice said he did not see why this rule had not been followed in this case. Mr. Dennys said on that point he must ask for the consideration of the court. He then went on to say that he should show to their Lordships that the Magistrate had not done his duty inasmuch as he had refused to hear witnesses who were willing to give evidence on behalf of the defendant. He should also call their Lordships' attention to his affidavit which, so far as he was aware, had not been contradicted.\n\nMr. Wodehouse said that his object in appearing was that if the writ of certiorari were granted, certain documents as well as the depositions be put in. These documents would show how he was somewhat influenced in the decision he had come to in the case.\n\nHis Lordship said he thought the documents might be put in.\n\nMr. Francis said that he thought all documents having reference to the case should be admitted.\n\nMr. Dennys said he had no objection to the documents being put in, but as he had not seen them it was impossible for him to say whether they had to do with the case or not. Continuing, he said that under Ordinance 2 of 1871 and Ordinance 2 of 1850, the Magistrate was held to be in the position of a jury as regards the prisoner, and when any doubt existed, that doubt was to benefit the prisoner. He would like to call their Lordships' attention to the three phrases in the second Ordinance, \"investigation,\" \"probable cause of belief,\" and \"proof of guilt.\" With reference to the words \"proof of guilt,\" he thought the same construction must be put on them as was done by the Privy Council in the case of the Attorney-General v. Kwok Shing. The Magistrate in trying the case must have such a proof of guilt as would justify him in committing the prisoner had the offence been committed within the jurisdiction of Hongkong. There might be links in the chain of evidence wanting, but there must be no reasonable doubt in his mind that those links would be found when the case was heard against him in that Court. He would ask their Lordships to refer to the affidavit before them, and they would see that there was no such proof of guilt in this case. The Magistrate had said distinctly that if he were a jury, he would not convict upon such evidence.\n\nThe Acting Chief Justice-The Magistrate does not exactly say that. He is not in the same position as a jury. He says if the final decision were to rest upon him, he might perhaps give the prisoner the benefit of the doubt.\n\nMr. Dennys said that their Lordships could not hold that the Magistrate had reasonable grounds of belief that the defendant was guilty. One witness had sworn that in the middle of the night he had seen through four solid walls. At the time that statement was made, they had not gone far enough to see what were the facts of the case, but when other witnesses were called and the position of these walls determined, his statement meant that or nothing. From his own statement as to where he was sleeping and from the place stated afterwards in evidence as the spot where the men broke into the house, it was perfectly plain that the witness, if he looked perfectly straight, saw through four solid walls, and if he looked crooked through five. Could the Magistrate with such evidence as that before him...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-233 - Acting Governor Cameron - 1887 [6-8].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 334431, "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": "CO129-233 - Acting Governor Cameron - 1887 [6-8]", "page_number": 253, "title": "CO129-233 - Acting Governor Cameron - 1887 [6-8]", "content_text": "The Daily Press.\n\nHongkong, June 23rd, 1887.\n\nCELEBRATION OF THE QUEEN'S JUBILEE IN HONGKONG.\n\nThe fiftieth anniversary of Her Most Gracious Majesty's accession to the throne was celebrated in Hongkong yesterday. The principal festivities have been reserved for November, but it was impossible to let the day itself pass without suitable observance. It was accordingly declared a general holiday by His Excellency the Acting Governor under the powers conferred upon him by the Public Holidays Ordinance, and the Government Offices, the Banks, insurance offices, stores, newspaper offices, and most of the mercantile offices suspended business. The weather, although hot, was fine, and, for the time of year, pleasant.\n\nIn the morning a meeting of the Legislative Council was held to despatch a message of congratulation to Her Majesty, after which the Acting Governor and Council attended divine service in St. John's Cathedral. The sacred edifice was handsomely decorated with flags and foliage, and the new organ was used for the first time publicly on this occasion. The attendance was, we believe, the largest ever seen in the cathedral, and the service throughout was most impressive.\n\nIn the afternoon there was a parade of the troops, and in the evening there were a display of blue lights, rockets, and the electric light from the men-of-war in harbour, and open air rejoicings by the Northamptonshire Regiment at Murray Barracks. Everything throughout the day passed off most successfully and the whole community seemed bent on holiday making.\n\nTHE MEETING OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.\n\nThe meeting of the Legislative Council was summoned for ten o'clock, and all the members being in their places at that hour, His Excellency the Acting Governor, Major-General Cameron, attended by his Aide-de-Camp and Private Secretary, entered.\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY said—Honourable members of the Council, I have the honour to move a resolution that a telegram be sent to Her Majesty on behalf of this Council to the following effect, to be submitted through the Secretary of State :-\n\n“We, the Governor and Legislature of the colony of Hongkong in Council assembled, desire on this auspicious day to convey to Your Majesty from this distant outpost of Your Empire on behalf of this Council and all Your Majesty's loving subjects here our most loyal and devoted attachment to Your Majesty's throne and person and to Your Majesty's glorious reign and of our fervid hope that Your Majesty's reign may be long continued and prosperous and peaceful. Thanksgiving services to-day at various places of worship. The Governor and members of Legislative Council will attend officially at the Cathedral. An influential committee of inhabitants have decided to commemorate the Jubilee by erecting a statue of Her Majesty and are collecting funds for that purpose and for fêtes and general rejoicings in November.\n\n“We have very few minutes to spare before we adjourn to the Cathedral to render thanks for the great blessings we have received during Her Majesty's reign and to offer up prayers for its long continuance. I feel that amongst all the messages Her Majesty will receive on this auspicious occasion there will be no message more genuine, more full of love, devotion, and loyalty, than the one from the Legislature of this colony sent on behalf of as warm-hearted and impressionable a community as exists in any of Her Majesty's dominions.\n\n“We have reason to be particularly thankful for this long and prosperous reign. During no other portion of our history, I suppose, have the colonies been drawn so closely to the mother country as during Her Majesty's reign, and I fully believe that it is chiefly due to the way that the throne has been filled during these fifty years that that strong wish for a grand federation of the British empire which now exists has taken root. (Hear, hear, and applause.) Her Majesty has endeared herself to all Her subjects, and we all know—those who have spent a great portion of their time in the old country all know—that Her Majesty's name is a household word in every cottage in the land. It is that deep feeling of love and attachment that exists between all sections of the community and our Sovereign Lady that has tended, I believe, as I said before, more towards the federation of this grand, vast empire that we all look forward to than anything else.\n\n“We have but very little time to spare and I need say no more to commend this resolution to your cordial acceptance.” (Applause.)\n\nHon. P. RYRIE—Your Excellency, I have much pleasure in seconding the resolution. Your Excellency has so ably dealt with the subject that there is little left for me to say. I can only say on behalf of the residents of the chief city of the colony of Hongkong, called after Her Majesty, that they have on previous occasions not been backward in loyalty, and on this occasion I think they will sustain their character. Hongkong owes a great deal to Her Majesty. She has given it the protection of Her land and sea forces, she has given it a charter, and she has made it a free port, and to all these things combined I think we may trace the prosperity of the colony. From a barren rock some forty years ago we now see it transformed into a handsome city of 160,000 inhabitants and with docks, wharves, warehouses, and everything necessary to accommodate a large commerce, a commerce which does exist and which I hope will go on increasing. For that we have to thank Her Majesty and Her Government, and I hope to-day and on the 9th November Hongkong will not be behindhand.” (Applause.)\n\nThe question that the resolution do pass was then formally put and carried.\n\nHis Excellency and the members of Council then proceeded to the Cathedral, the Acting Chief Justice, Hon. J. Russell, C.M.G., walking with His Excellency and the other members following two by two according to seniority, as follows: —Hon. F. STEWART, Acting Colonial Secretary; Hon. E. J. ACKROYD, Acting Attorney-General; Hon. A. LISTER, Colonial Treasurer; Hon. J. M. PRICE, Surveyor-General; Hon. H. G. THOMSETT, Harbour Master; Hon. P. RYRIE, Hon. WONG SHING, Hon. A. P. MACEWEN, Hon. J. BELL-IRVING, and Hon. C. P. CHATER; Mr. A. SETH, Clerk of Councils, bringing up the rear. An escort of two officers and fifty rank and file, of the Northamptonshire Regiment with the Queen's and Regimental colours and band, accompanied the procession, and the road from the Government Offices to the Cathedral was lined by Gun Lascar...\n\nTHE SERVICE AT THE CATHEDRAL.\n\nThe general arrangements for the service at Cathedral were entrusted to a Committee composed as follows:—The Right Revd. Bishop Burdon (Chairman), Revd. F. GACE, Hon. E. J. ACKROYD, Hon. H. G. THOMSETT, R.N., Hon. A. LISTER, Mr. C. FORD, Mr. J. ORANGE, Dr. PRESTON, R.N., and Mr. C. F. A. SANGSTER.

The cost of this reclamation and of a Praya or Retaining Wall is estimated at $73,000, and the value of the ground to be reclaimed is estimated at $87,000. The work will require two years to complete it. The Officer Administering the Government proposes that the necessary money for this work should be taken from the premia realized on sales of Crown Land which are not included in the Revenue receipts of the Colony. The Council are therefore requested to vote a sum of $35,000 to be taken from this source for defraying the cost of the portion of the work which will be executed this year.\n\nThe Finance Committee have already been consulted in this question, and have expressed the unanimous opinion that the project should be approved.\n\nGovernment House, Hongkong, 6th April, 1887.\n\nAfter explanation by the Acting Colonial Secretary, the Committee recommend that the amount be voted.\n\nHunghom Market.\n\n(2.)

Read the following Minute by His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government:-\n\nW. H. MARSH.\n\nThe Officer Administering the Government recommends the Council to vote the sum of $9,600 for the extension of the Cattle Depôt at Kennedy Town.\n\nThe present Depôt can accommodate 240 head of cattle intended to be slaughtered for the meat supply of the City; but the requirements of the town and of the shipping have grown so largely that the Acting Registrar General now states that the present accommodation is inadequate, and that room should be provided for at least 360 head of cattle.\n\nA copy of a letter on this subject from the Surveyor General is annexed,\n\nGovernment House, Hongkong, 22nd April, 1887.\n\nNo. 9,\n\nEnclosure.\n\nPUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT,\n\nHONGKONG, 10th January, 1887.\n\nSIR,\n\nSome years ago the Government built a Cattle Depôt at Kennedy Town destined to accommodate the cattle intended to be slaughtered for the meat supply of the City. It was stated at the time that room for 120 head of cattle would suffice, and that the market or depôt could be enlarged subsequently as the demands of the Colony increased.\n\n2. Two years ago the question was again considered, and it was stated that accommodation should be provided for at least 240 head of cattle. Accordingly in 1885, the Government placed on the Colonial Estimates for 1886, a sum of $10,000 for this extension of the Depôt.\n\n3. But the fact is the wants of the town and of the shipping are growing enormously from day to day, and the Registrar General now states that the recent extension is inadequate, and that room should be provided in the Depôt for at least 360 head of cattle.\n\n4. Of the necessity for this further extension I myself can entertain no doubt, for, on a recent examination of the place, I saw many bullocks picketed outside, exposed to all weathers, for want of room in the sheds.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-233 - Acting Governor Cameron - 1887 [6-8].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 334456, "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": "CO129-233 - Acting Governor Cameron - 1887 [6-8]", "page_number": 278, "title": "CO129-233 - Acting Governor Cameron - 1887 [6-8]", "content_text": "273\n\nC.\n\n15764\n\nC.5,0.\n\n964 of 1887.\n\n5. Cattle exposed in this unsheltered and somewhat inhuman manner are liable to contract disease, and as the Government now pays compensation for diseased cattle destroyed, there is always a risk of more or less heavy demands being made on the Colonial Treasury on this account.\n\n6. A further extension of the cattle sheds so as to enable them to hold 360 head would involve an outlay of $9,600, and if this proposition were sanctioned, a special vote for this amount would have to be asked of the Legislative Council.\n\n7. I ought, however, to mention that a balance has remained over of $1,840 from last year's vote of $10,000, so that if a special vote of $9,600 were now asked for, a proportion of $1,840 would in reality be nothing more than a re-vote, and it would only be the balance, i.e., $7,760 that would represent new expenditure.\n\n8. As a considerable revenue may be derived from this place if enlarged, the Government will doubtless have all the greater inducement to sanction a further extension of the accommodation. The 12 stalls proposed now to be added will bring in an additional $10 a month, representing a return of 5 per cent, on the outlay.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nSir,\n\nThe Honourable F.

The Bill aimed to improve sanitation and public health in Hong Kong. Mr. Chadwick had pointed out in his report that by Government doing it and by combining certain connections, he believed it could be done cheaper than by private individuals. This was one point on which the Government was sorry not to be able to make any concession. They looked upon it as one of vital importance and one in which they felt there could be no hardship.\n\nIn connection with that, they had no objection to inserting later on in Section 89 the word \"reasonable,\" making it read \"all reasonable expenses incurred by the Board.\" An objection had been taken to Section 65. It had been thought that 100 feet was too much, that most likely there would be a sewer down each main street, and that consequently the distance from the house to the main sewer would not be anything like 100 feet. If it was not, the owner would not be called upon to make a sewer of 100 feet. He might be perfectly sure the authorities would require him to connect his drain with the sewer by the most direct line.\n\nObjection had also been taken that perhaps after a person had connected his drain with the sewer, he might afterwards be called upon to make another connection. He merely mentioned this to illustrate once more that there had been a great scare about this Bill and it had been thought there was something underneath and that Government had some hidden meaning. People said, \"Very well, we will connect our houses with the sewer, but put in something that we shall not be called upon to connect a second time with another sewer.\" There was no intention of asking a householder to connect with one sewer and then afterwards ask him to go to the same expense again.\n\nTo meet the public mind on that point, they would insert the following words: \"Provided always that after any owner has once connected his building with a public sewer, he shall not be required to connect with another sewer at his own expense.\" Part 5 would be maintained, and from what he had learned from the representative of the Chinese community, he believed they had no objection to it. Part 5 concerned buildings which were against the hillside.\n\nThe only thing this required was that when a house was built against the hillside without any intervening space, the basement should not be used as a habitation. It might be used as a store or workshop or for persons to carry on their occupations during the day, but they might not sleep there at night. With reference to Section 87, he had received very strong objections, and they had received the greatest consideration on the part of the Government.\n\nBut looking to all the difficulties which existed with respect to this matter, the difficulty of getting houses carried out according to plans, for very often there were no plans, and the great difficulties in having a house properly constructed, the Government thought there should be a certificate issued by an officer of the Board that a house was fit for human habitation before it was let. He hoped no one would think there would be any intention or desire on the part of the Board to place any difficulty in the way of letting his house if it was fit.\n\nThese were the principal objections which had been made against the Bill, and he had stated the course the Government had taken with regard to them. As to the by-laws for common lodging houses, there were only two objections. One was to Section 11. There, they had no objection to adding the word \"knowingly,\" making it read \"the keeper of a common lodging house shall not knowingly permit.\"\n\nAnd in Section 18, which ran as follows: \"If any person in a common lodging-house becomes ill from any infectious, contagious, or communicable disease, the keeper of such common lodging-house shall forthwith give notice thereof.\" They proposed to add after \"forthwith,\" \"on becoming aware of the fact,\" so that he would not be punished unless it could be proved that he was aware of the fact that there was a person suffering from infectious, contagious, or communicable disease, and that he did not report it to the Sanitary Board.\n\nHe trusted that with these explanations, he had alleviated whatever distrust there was on the part of the community about the intentions of the Government, and he would also ask the community once more to remember that Government officials had absolutely no personal interest whatever. The only thing they sought to do was to do their duty as well as they could, and the only reward they could or did look forward to was a recognition on the part of those they tried to govern that they had tried to do their duty.\n\nThe SURVEYOR-GENERAL seconded the motion.\n\nHon. P. RYRIE—I rise to oppose the second reading of the Bill. My hon. friend had certainly spoken most fairly, and he intimates that the most important thing left out of the Bill was to be taken up afterwards in a Building Ordinance. Now, that was no concession at all. It was simply putting the matter off for a short time.\n\nThe inhabitants of this colony had very grave objections to this Bill. In the first place, if you went to the root of it, they saw no use for the Bill, because everything laid down in the Bill was laid down in the Crown leases. Then what was the use of this Bill? It was merely a waste of time. There might be something in it about the building, but as far as the sanitary arrangements went, the Crown leases provided for everything.\n\nThe ACTING ATTORNEY-GENERAL—No, nothing like it. It was published after I came.\n\nHon. P. RYRIE—Well, it was written before that. Here they were rushing this matter on now. You said they must do it. They had got to do it. But the public of Hong Kong said they wouldn't do it. And there it was. Here was a most important matter, and here they were in the middle of summer, and they had not had an opportunity of meeting. There had been some meetings, it was true, but a Bill with 101 clauses required consideration.\n\nHon. WONG SHING seconded, and in doing so referred to the question of backyards. He said the Surveyor-General had said there was no help for the small lots; that they were not fit for human dwellings but only fit for stalls. He had paid a visit with Hon. A. P. MacEwen to a number of shops, and they found them nearly all 30 feet deep or less than 30 feet.\n\nIn the case of more than one-half of the Chinese houses, compliance with the Ordinance which took away ten feet for backyards and so forth would be impossible. He therefore seconded the motion of his hon. friend for postponement.\n\nHon. A. P. MACEWEN—When my hon. friend opposite proposed the postponement, he gathered from his earlier remarks that he opposed the Bill altogether, but he was glad to find he only proposed a postponement for a few days in order that the Bill might be reprinted and the Chinese have full opportunity of seeing what was proposed.\n\nHon. P. RYRIE—I rise to order. I opposed it altogether, but at present I wished for a postponement.\n\nHon. A. P. MACEWEN—I congratulate the Government on having given way on the question of privies, windows, backyards—\n\nHon. P. RYRIE—They had not given way.\n\nHon. A. P. MACEWEN—They had given way as regards this Bill. They were to be introduced in another Bill, and they would have full opportunity of dealing with them when that Bill came up. At present, they were simply dealing with this Bill on sanitary measures.\n\nThe ACTING ATTORNEY-GENERAL—No, four, of whom two should be Chinese.\n\nHon. A. P. MACEWEN—That was reducing the number, because in the Bill it was five.\n\nThe ACTING ATTORNEY-GENERAL—No, six.\n\nHon. A. P. MACEWEN—If he would allow him to read the clause—\"The Board shall consist of the Surveyor-General, the Registrar-General, the Captain Superintendent of Police, the Colonial Surgeon, and not more than five additional members, three of whom shall be appointed by the Governor, one elected by the Chamber of Commerce, and one by the Justices of the Peace.\"\n\nPage 39", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-234 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Des Voeus - 1887 [9-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 334761, "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": "CO129-234 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Des Voeus - 1887 [9-12]", "page_number": 43, "title": "CO129-234 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Des Voeus - 1887 [9-12]", "content_text": "Commerce, and one by the Justices of the Peace.\" In the original Bill sent up by the Sanitary Board it read as follows:- \"And four additional members, two to be appointed by the Governor and two to be elected by the tax-payers whose names appear on the special and common jury lists as well as those who are mentioned as being exempt by reason of their avocations.\" I think it is absolutely necessary that the franchise should be extended, at any rate as regards the Sanitary Board. On that point I am of opinion that it should be extended as regards this Council, but that is another matter. I would strongly urge the Government to have two Chinese and let the other three be elected by the taxpayers. To confine it to a clique like the Chamber of Commerce and the Justices of the Peace looks as if the Government was under the impression that no other ratepayers had any brains or common sense about them. I trust this matter will receive the attention of the Government before the Bill comes on again. Another point. I strongly advocate the proceedings of the Board should be held with open doors. I am bound to say I have undergone some change of view on that point. I thought it would be sufficient if the minutes were published, but I am sorry to see that at the last meeting, two of the subjects before the Board—I will not say they were important ones—but minutes of a certain amount of interest were framed—and I am at a loss to understand how it is they were not published in the Gazette. However that is a matter I intend to bring before the Chairman at the next meeting, and if necessary I shall allude to it again in this Council. One other point I shall allude to, which may be a minor one. In Section 3 Clause 2 it is called the Sanitary Board. When the Bill was sent up to the Government it was termed the Municipal Board of Health of Hongkong. There was a great amount of discussion on that point and no one was more strongly in favor of it than my hon. friend the Surveyor-General. (The Surveyor-General—Hear, hear). We hoped that this Board might in time extend itself to become really a Municipal Council. I may say I would myself have introduced a scheme to that effect last year, but seeing it is supposed to be the etiquette of the service that an Acting Governor during his administration does not inaugurate any new policy but is supposed to carry on the government on very much the same lines as those of the absent Governor—I think that has been very detrimental to this Colony, seeing its affairs have been administered by an Acting Governor for nearly four years. As regards the Bill itself, former Governors and present members of the Executive Council and Legislative Council have confessed the absolute necessity for sanitary reform in the colony, and I think a certain amount of blame attaches to them for not having pushed it forward. I congratulate your Excellency on having prevented this Bill being pigeon-holed, because it was sent up months ago, I think in March. At any rate, I know there has been plenty of time to bring it forward. It was only in November last year I brought several matters of detail concerning the Central Market to the notice of this Council and the Government. Hundreds of men sleeping amongst the food supply of the Colony, and the only privy accommodation a bucket, and would you believe it, Sir, that market is in the same condition in July of this year as in November last year, and nothing has been done. Your Excellency in your remarks about the Opium Bill said it was as if a Bill was ever passed, and I say the sanitary portion of this Bill is as desirable as any Bill that has ever been passed.\n\nThe SURVEYOR-GENERAL—Your Excellency has informed us through the Attorney-General that it was your intention to relegate the opposed clauses of this measure to the Building Act from which they were taken by the advice of one of Your Excellency's predecessors to be incorporated in the Bill before us. So long as there is adequate provision for light and for ventilation, for fore and aft ventilation if I may so call it, it is immaterial in what Bill that provision is made, but as to backyards and with regard to the desire of the advocates of this Bill to perpetuate in our midst the present type of Hongkong native tenement, which I may briefly describe as a barrack to back back without light or ventilation, I say that such tenements are an outrage to every maxim of sanitary law that has ever been laid down. If you say to me \"A backyard is unnecessary because the Chinese do not require light or ventilation, and because they are constituted differently from other people,\" then I utterly deny and controvert such a proposition. But if you acknowledge the necessity for such light and ventilation but say you cannot afford it on account of the undue sacrifice of property, then I say it would be the duty of this Government to address itself to the task of seeing how far the paramount interests of public health can be reconciled with those of property owners. My hon. friend opposite (Hon. A. P. MacEwen) has told us he visited with the hon. member who represents the Chinese community (Hon. Wong Shing) many houses where this backyard would be invaluable owing to the smallness of the area of the lots. Well, Sir, that may be so, but I would ask is there no modus vivendi, no possible way of overcoming the difficulty which has been raised in this connexion by the opponents of this Bill? Would it not be possible, apart from the question of compensation which has been mooted, for the Government perhaps to deal with the slums and fever dens of Taipingshan by purchasing them out and out at fair and equitable values and demolishing them, rebuilding them on sanitary principles, and reselling them again, perhaps giving the original owner the option of re-entering? Would it not be possible by some such scheme as that to obviate the deletion of these clauses from this Bill? I believe when we have passed from the present stage of effervescence to a stage of more calm consideration we shall find some means of reconciling these two interests. The question, Sir, of compensation has been mooted. I do not want to prejudge that question. I anticipate that at no distant date we may be called here to discuss these clauses, but I believe some objection has been taken to compensation for loss of area as being unjust to the general ratepayer. That is a question which will receive attention when the time comes, but I desire to call attention to one fact, and I am sure my hon. friend opposite (Hon. A. P. MacEwen) will bear me out in this. For many years past it has been the practice of landlords of new buildings to leave backyards of five, six, and some even seven feet in width, and therefore really the difference in the widths we see in the backyards of more modern buildings and the width prescribed in this Bill is much less than appears. It will not be a question of compensating for the loss of ten feet of area, but of compensating for the difference between that ten feet and the width which the property owners themselves of their own initiative have adopted. If hon. members will bear this in mind they will see at once that the enormously exaggerated sums which have been mentioned as required for compensation would be reduced very greatly, and might be entirely within the means of the Government, if combined with the purchase of those fever dens which are a direct menace to the health of the community generally. I therefore think this question of backyards, which after all appears to form the principal obstacle to the passing of this Bill, may be met. I think all interests may be reconciled and I am very sanguine that we shall find some means, when we come to deliberate on the Building Act, of meeting the views of all. With regard to the other objections that have been raised, it may be more proper that I should at present say nothing until we go into committee on this Bill or on the Building Act which I understand your Excellency intends to bring forward at an early period next session. I can only add, Sir, I wish hon. members of this Council would better appreciate the importance and necessity of adequate light and ventilation as set forth in those clauses of this Bill which provide for backyards. I am sure if some of the members of Council could be induced to imitate the example of your Excellency and of my hon. friend opposite (Hon. A. P. MacEwen) and spend some of the present close evenings in house to house rambles through Taipingshan it would be an admirable preparation for the time when we come to meet for the discussion of these clauses. Sir, I adhere to my advocacy of an adequate provision of light and ventilation as represented by the ten-foot backyards. There has been a good deal of abuse showered on me for this advocacy. I have been gibbeted as a schemer, a jobber, a wire-puller and smuggler, and by any number of other playful epithets, but, Sir, no cause was ever advanced, not even the cause against backyards, by descending to personal invective, and I am sure the intelligence of the Colony will ultimately recognise the immense importance of this provision of light and ventilation if we can find the modus vivendi, as I have said before. I am sure we would be able to pass the opposed clauses of this Bill if we adopted some such plan as I have briefly sketched to the Council.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-234 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Des Voeus - 1887 [9-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 334762, "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": "CO129-234 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Des Voeus - 1887 [9-12]", "page_number": 44, "title": "CO129-234 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Des Voeus - 1887 [9-12]", "content_text": "Hon. WONG SHING said that with reference to the Surveyor-General's statement that Chinese houses had no light or air, he could explain how a China shop was built. In the lanes between Jervois-street and Queen's Road some of the shops were only 25 feet deep and they had the whole front open and on the second floor had a large opening eight feet by six on the floor which threw a light on the counter on the back, besides which they had an opening for the staircase. He thought therefore there must be light enough and air enough.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY—I do not know exactly what motion is before the Council; whether it is the adjournment for a fortnight as proposed by my hon. friend on the left (Hon. P. Ryrie), or whether it is the intention to oppose altogether the second reading of the Bill. I should like to know exactly what is before the Council.\n\nHon. P. RYRIE—That the second reading of this Bill be postponed for a fortnight.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY—In that case I have not the slightest objection to the motion. I have all along contended that we must make a beginning. I think I also stated that we would sit at such intervals as would suit the convenience of hon. members and also that the public might thus have every opportunity of considering everything that comes before us at each sitting. With regard to this question of backyards that is still so much harped upon, although it is not before us at the present moment you will see that clause 79 says whenever the provisions of the two preceding clauses—that is the two which relate to the question of backyards—cannot be adhered to without undue sacrifice of property, such provisions may be modified at the discretion of the Governor in Council. Our sole object is to obtain in every house thorough ventilation and light, and if these can be secured by any other means we do not insist upon the backyards. All we want is to get for each house ventilation and light, which are generally considered necessary as regards Chinese or other people, and it was with this object that the clauses mentioned were introduced.\n\nI have visited many of these poorer class houses. I visited them in 1885, I have visited them now in 1887, and I shall probably pay a few more visits to them. A few of these houses which in 1885 I remarked upon as being perfectly disgraceful, I find to my pleasure and surprise remodelled voluntarily by the landlords very much to the benefit of the poor unfortunate coolies who had to live there, and I have no doubt that these improvements have been carried out at a very small loss, that the landlords do not receive much smaller rents. People here seem to think sanitation is not required. They say Hongkong is so marvellously healthy, and then they quote statistics. All I can say is I have been going through these statistics very carefully and find the death rate is something enormous.\n\nIn the first place you must bear in mind that a large portion of the population consists of adults between the ages of 20 and 40. Young men come here full of health and strength to earn a livelihood because they find they can earn more here than on the other side, and of course when they have made their money they return. A large portion of the Chinese come here for a time only and then return to their native districts. A death rate, therefore, of 30 per thousand in comparison with what it would be at home, 20 or 21 per thousand, I call enormous. From what I have seen I think the passing of this Bill would be to the interests of all.\n\nAs I remarked, I think, the other day, sanitary legislation has usually been carried out under the influence of a panic. If we carry sanitary legislation here under a panic what would become of the landlords? I am afraid they would not receive much consideration. We soldiers always say \"Prepare for war in the time of peace,\" and so it appears to me in this instance the proper time for carrying out sanitary legislation is now, not to wait until there is a panic. I do not think, really, it is necessary for me to say more. All I plead for is to go on with the Bill. I have said all along \"make a beginning.\" It is of no use folding our hands and doing nothing. On behalf of the Government and with the cordial agreement, I am sure, of all my colleagues, I shall be most happy to accede to the motion that we adjourn the further consideration of this Bill until this day fortnight.\n\n41", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-234 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Des Voeus - 1887 [9-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 334763, "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": "CO129-234 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Des Voeus - 1887 [9-12]", "page_number": 45, "title": "CO129-234 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Des Voeus - 1887 [9-12]", "content_text": "The Daily Press.\n\nHONGKONG, JULY 23RD, 1887.\n\nTHE PUBLIC HEALTH BILL. The ACTING ATTORNEY-GENERAL-I beg to renew my motion for the second reading of a Bill entitled \"An Ordinance for amending the laws relating to Public Health in the Colony of Hongkong.\"\n\nThe SURVEYOR-GENERAL seconded.\n\nHon. P. RYRIE-I don't like to be an obstructionist, but really this Bill only reached me and the other unofficial members yesterday afternoon, and as far as I know the Chinese know nothing about it. There has been a whole fortnight to make these alterations in the Bill, and yet we only get it twenty-four hours before the meeting. I think that is hardly what the members of this Council desired, or what they think is fair treatment. A fortnight was given, and it is only on the afternoon before the Council meets that this is put before us. As for my own part, I have not had time to look at it. Mails have been coming in and going out, and I have had a meeting of a public company to attend. I certainly think more time should be given us to carefully read the Bill over and discuss it. There are material alterations in it. I can see, but I have not had time to study them. I have glanced over them certainly, but as I say, I have not had time to study them and I don't think any of my colleagues have had time either. I therefore move that the second reading of this Bill be postponed.\n\nHon. J. BELL-IRVING-I beg to second the amendment. I can confirm all the remarks of my hon. friend who has last spoken. I only received the amended rough draft last evening about 5 o'clock, and I have not had time to look over it in order to see what the alterations are. What my hon. friend says about the Chinese I think is perfectly correct. The Chinese certainly ought to have a translation of the Bill and ought to have time to go carefully into it and discuss it among themselves. I think before the second reading we ought to have a week to consider the amendments.\n\nThe ACTING ATTORNEY-GENERAL-I am sorry to have to oppose this amendment. There is nothing in the standing rules and regulations which requires that the amendments should be printed. When I last moved the second reading of the Bill I stated very fully what were the changes the Government were prepared to accept in Committee, and any hon. member of this Council having the Bill before him could very easily have followed me and made the necessary alterations. In fact, they are very few indeed. The principal alterations are omissions, and when I stated what were the clauses the Government were prepared to drop any hon. member could very easily have passed his pen through them. The other alterations are very few, and, as I have already said, they might easily have been made when I announced the intentions of the Government on moving the second reading. There is nothing which requires the amendments to be submitted before going into Committee, and it is only as a matter of courtesy and convenience that the Bill has been printed with alterations. We consider the grounds put forward for postponement are not sufficient to warrant any further adjournment. They are matters which can be considered in committee and which hon. members will have full opportunity for considering when the Council goes into Committee.\n\nHon. P. RYRIE-I don't know whether I am in order, but if the alterations are so trivial as my friend says, why did he require a fortnight to make them?\n\nHon. A. P. MACEWEN-Sir, I am not surprised that this proposition should be made by my hon. friends opposite, because I think it is only reasonable. I remember when I agreed at the last meeting to the postponement of the second reading of the Bill it was on the understanding that it would be reprinted in its amended form. And what the hon. member opposite (the Acting Attorney-General) has said about the unofficial members may be all right, but we have to consider the public. We often get hints from the public. I am perfectly willing to agree that the speech of the hon. member was clear to us, but a great many people do not see the papers and they look to the Bill itself to study it carefully. Nobody is more anxious than myself to see this Bill passed, but I think the suggestions of the hon. members opposite are reasonable, and I hope Your Excellency will postpone the second reading for a week and that the Bill will be printed to-night and circulated to-morrow.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY-Before we vote I wish to say that I cannot help thinking that what one hon. friend, the Attorney-General, said was very reasonable, and I never understood myself on the occasion that the Bill was to be at once reprinted. It was supposed that all that was necessary was to make the necessary marginal notes and to forward to every member of Council a copy. I am very sorry to hear that that did not reach them as early as I anticipated. I am very, very sorry, but I do not see why if we are fully prepared to go on with the discussion, the general discussion on the second reading, we should not do so. If it is to enter into all those points that have already been referred to and on which the Government is perfectly willing to make concessions. I certainly do not see why we should not go on with the general discussion and, if we find afterwards that it is necessary to adjourn before that discussion is completed, before we have arrived at anything definite, I think it will be time to consider the adjournment. But I am certainly against the adjournment at present.\n\nHon. A. P. MacEwen referred to the standing orders, which require that a copy of a Bill should be forwarded to members two clear days before it is read. He said His Excellency had confessed that it was with regret he learned that hon. members had only been placed in possession of a copy of this Bill a few hours before the second reading was proposed.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY asked if the rule mentioned by Mr. MacEwen did not refer to the first reading of Bills.\n\nThe ACTING ATTORNEY-GENERAL-Yes, it refers to the first reading. I was under no obligation whatever to send this corrected copy. All I had to do was to state what were the alterations the Government was prepared to make, and these were not so numerous but what hon. members could have marked them in their own copies of the Bill. If a point is made of it, it will be a question for me to consider next time whether I shall send amended copies. All we are concerned with now is the general principle of the Bill - shall this Bill be read a second time? Minor points can come on afterwards.\n\nHon. P. RYRIE-I distinctly state that I vote against the principle of the Bill until we have had proper time for considering it.\n\nHon. C. P. CHATER-I would call your Excellency's attention to the statement made by you at the last meeting that this was a most important Bill demanding much consideration, and that the Council could be called together from time to time to suit the convenience of hon. members. After the statement of my hon. friends I feel certain your Excellency, seeing we have not had time to go into the details of this Bill in its amended form, will grant the postponement asked for by the unofficial members.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY-Of course it is always rather unpleasant to have one's own words thrown upon one, but I feel on this occasion my conscience is very clear. I have always said that so long as we progress with the Bill, I was very anxious that all due time should be given for consideration. But I think time has been given for consideration, and I really don't see any inconsistency in suggesting to the Council that we ought to be prepared on this occasion to go on with the general discussion of the Bill. I feel perfectly sure that there are hon. members of the Council present who are quite prepared to throw a great deal of light on this question, and I really do not see the necessity of postponing for another week the preliminary discussion of this Bill.\n\nThe amendment was then put and a division taken which resulted as follows:-\n\nAYES.\n\nHon. C. P. Chater\nHon. J. Bell-Irving\nHon. A. P. MacEwen\nHon. Wong Shing\nHon. P. Ryrie\n\nNOES.\n\nThe Harbour Master\nThe Surveyor-General\nThe Colonial Treasurer\nThe Acting Attorney-General\nThe Acting Colonial Secretary\nThe Acting Chief Justice\n\nThe amendment was therefore lost by a majority of one.\n\nHon. A. P. MacEwen said he wished to call attention to another irregularity. The standing orders required that the clerk should send to each member of Council a copy of the general orders two days before the meeting. His copy did not reach him until the previous night. That was a distinct irregularity.\n\nThe ACTING ATTORNEY-GENERAL-That need not prevent our going on. There is nothing which says that if it is not sent we cannot go on. It is merely a direction for the clerk. If there were any good reasons given for not going on, those reasons would have to be taken into consideration.\n\nPage 42", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-234 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Des Voeus - 1887 [9-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 334767, "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": "CO129-234 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Des Voeus - 1887 [9-12]", "page_number": 49, "title": "CO129-234 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Des Voeus - 1887 [9-12]", "content_text": "The Daily Press.\n\nHongkong, AUGUST 6TH, 1887.\n\nTHE PUBLIC HEALTH BILL.\n\nThe Council went into Committee on the Public Health Bill. On subsection 2 of clause 3 which defines \"Board\" as \"the Sanitary Board,\"\n\nHon. A. P. MACEWEN said—Sir, with reference to this, when the Bill was read a second time I made a few remarks as to the change in the name of the Board. I have before me a copy of the Bill as sent in to the Government by the Sanitary Board in which it is termed the \"Municipal Board of Health of Hongkong.\" This may be looked upon as a minor point, but it was a matter which received much consideration and discussion at the hands of the Sanitary Board some months ago and it was thought, with a hope that in future this board might extend itself till it became a Municipal Council, desirable to give it that name. Well, I think it is even more so now, since the Government itself has proposed to increase the members by two, and I think when we come to another clause later on, dealing with representative members, it will seem to the Government desirable to increase the franchise in this respect. I am sure in this I shall have the support of my hon. friend opposite, the Chairman of the Sanitary Board (the Surveyor-General), who was quite as keen on this point as myself, as he said that former Governors had been only too anxious that some such term should be applied to some body in this Colony.\n\nThe SURVEYOR-GENERAL—\"Board of Health\" not \"Municipal Board.\"\n\nHon. A. P. MACEWEN—I ask the Governor to adhere to the former resolution, that the board be called the Municipal Board of Health. All our notices and standing orders are printed \"Municipal Board of Health\" and even the entrance to the office in which we hold our monthly meeting is marked the same.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY—Does anyone second the hon. member's amendment?\n\nHon. P. RYRIE—I second it. I think we should give the Board that name to give it a certain significance.\n\nThe ACTING ATTORNEY-GENERAL—The matter has been considered by the Government, who have come to the unanimous conclusion the time is not yet ripe for us to have a Municipal Board, and I do not think in an Ordinance relating to Public Health is the proper place for the establishment of a Municipal Board. I think the Board to carry out the purposes of this Ordinance should be the Sanitary Board, not a Municipal Board.\n\nHon. A. P. MACEWEN—We have to deal with many things besides those relating purely to health. For instance, the urinal referred to at our last meeting. Surely that is a matter which comes within the province of a Municipal rather than a Sanitary Board.\n\nA division was then taken on the Hon. A. P. MacEwen's amendment which resulted as follows:-\n\nAyes.\n\nHon. C. P. Chater Hon. A. P. MacEwen Hon. Wong Shing Hon. P. Ryrie\n\nNoes.\n\nHon. J. Bell-Irving The Harbour-Master The Surveyor-General The Colonial Treasurer The Attorney-General The Colonial Secretary The Acting Chief Justice\n\nThe amendment was therefore lost by a majority of three. The clause was adopted as it stood.\n\nThe ACTING ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved that the consideration of sub-section 4 of Clause 3, which defines a common lodging house, be adjourned. He said he had just received a communication from certain Chinese who wanted some alterations made which he had not had time to consider.\n\nThe consideration of the sub-section was postponed accordingly.\n\nHon. WONG SHING addressed the Council on sub-section 8 of section 3, which defines hillside as—\"The face of the natural hill, or the face of any scarp or retaining wall built to support the same, or any artificial filling in or terracing with earth behind such scarp or retaining wall, made with the object of supporting a street or forming a site for a building.\" He said the whole town was built on the side of a hill. He referred as an example to the houses built between Queen's Road and Stanley Street. Stanley Street was higher than Queen's Road and a person building in Queen's Road must have a wall on the hillside to support Stanley Street. If that was to be called the hillside then most houses were built against the hillside except those on lots recovered from the sea.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY—I do not quite see the point. This is a mere definition.\n\nHon. WONG SHING said that when they came to clause 62 they would find that no human habitation was allowed to abut on the hillside. There must be an intervening space of at least four feet. Therefore all the houses in Queen's Road would have to cut off four feet.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY—I really do not see how this affects the case at all. It is merely a definition of what hillside is. What amendment do you propose?\n\nHon. WONG SHING said he proposed to cut out the words \"supporting a street.\"\n\nThe SURVEYOR-GENERAL—The explanation seems very clear. The hillside is either the natural hillside itself or a wall supporting that hillside to prevent it falling down. It is therefore the natural hillside or the artificial hillside.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY—Does anyone second the hon. member's proposition?\n\nThe SURVEYOR-GENERAL—I think the hon. member merely asked for an explanation.\n\nHon. WONG SHING—Yes. You must have walls for the support of Stanley Street.\n\nThe SURVEYOR-GENERAL—If a house were built against a retaining wall for the support of the hillside, then that would practically be resting against the hillside.\n\nHon. P. RYRIE—I think most of the houses my hon. friend refers to have got retaining walls. The thing would be to exempt those already built because it would be ridiculous to make people in Stanley Street or Wellington Street leave a space now. The houses have been built forty years.\n\nThe SURVEYOR-GENERAL—But we are only dealing with the definition now; we will come to that by-and-by.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY—Yes, this is merely a definition.\n\nThe ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE—It seems to me that hon. members are reading the 62nd section and the 8th sub-section of section 3 together. The definition is quite clear. But then it will become a question whether section 62 will pass, whether the houses referred to require four feet space.\n\nThe Council may say that is not necessary. So far as the definition is concerned it is perfectly clear, but it is another question whether section 62 ought not to be altered.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY—This is only a short definition of what \"hillside\" means. I don't see that it will affect the merits at all when we come to discuss section 62.\n\nThe sub-section was then agreed to.\n\nHon. J. BELL-IRVING suggested that as many houses are let in flats the words \"the whole of\" in section 9, which defines \"householder\" as the actual tenant or occupier of the whole of any building, should be omitted.\n\nThe ACTING ATTORNEY-GENERAL said this definition was taken from Ordinance 7 of 1866. This was the law as it had been since 1866 and no reason had ever been given why it should be changed, nor had it been shown that it had ever worked any hardship.\n\nHon. C. P. CHATER—I have much pleasure in seconding the proposal of my hon. friend. In doing so I may point out that, as he has intimated, most of the Chinese houses here are let in flats, and if the words \"the whole\" are not taken out, probably the landlord will be very often brought up and fined for the actions of the tenants. The Attorney-General says this definition has been the law for some years and there has been no objection to it, but then we had not this Ordinance. It is the working of this Ordinance which would be injurious to the householder, as defined in this section.\n\nThe SURVEYOR-GENERAL—I think the objections of the hon. members might be met by inserting \"or a part thereof.\"\n\nThe ACTING ATTORNEY-GENERAL—Then you would have several householders for the same building.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY—If this is to be a real Bill, as we all wish it to be, we must give the Executive the power of coming down on some abode. This Government has never been hard upon anybody in enforcing an Ordinance, but the object is to be able to get at somebody.\n\nThe ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE—I would suggest, sir, that the consideration of this clause stand over, because I think any alteration might interfere considerably with the Victoria Registration Ordinance, the whole object of which...\n\nPage 46 appears three times at the bottom of the page.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-234 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Des Voeus - 1887 [9-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 334771, "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": "CO129-234 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Des Voeus - 1887 [9-12]", "page_number": 53, "title": "CO129-234 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Des Voeus - 1887 [9-12]", "content_text": "Hon. P. RYRIE-We are in Committee. We can speak as often as we like. You must not forget, your Excellency, that there are many thousands of Chinese who are of just as keen intellect as we are. They know what is right and what is wrong. Of course you have a population of working men and others, but we have an intelligent population of Chinese which is unequalled in any town in the East.\n\nA division was then taken on Hon. C. P. Chater's amendment, which resulted as follows:\n\nAYES.\n\nHon. C. P. Chater\n\nHon. J. Bell-Irving\n\nHon. A. P. MacEwen\n\nHon. Wong Shing\n\nHon. P. Ryrie\n\nNOES.\n\nThe Harbour Master\n\nThe Surveyor-General\n\nThe Colonial Treasurer\n\nThe Acting Attorney-General\n\nThe Acting Colonial Secretary\n\nThe Acting Chief Justice\n\nThe amendment was therefore lost by a majority of one.\n\nThe amendment proposed by the Acting Attorney-General was then put and carried nem. con. and the clause, as amended, was adopted.\n\nIn clause 5, which read as follows: \"The Governor shall appoint the President, Vice President, and Secretary of the Board, and the names of all members appointed to the Board shall be forthwith notified in the Government Gazette, and any number of the Government Gazette containing a notice of any such appointments shall be deemed sufficient evidence thereof before any Magistrate or Court of Law.\"\n\nHon. J. BELL-IRVING proposed the following Amendment: \"Leave out the words 'The Governor shall appoint the President, Vice-President and Secretary of the Board, and the names of all members appointed to the Board,' for the purpose of inserting the words 'The Board shall elect annually from their number the President and Vice-President, and shall appoint their own Secretary, and the names of all members elected to the Board.'\"\n\nHon. P. RYRIE-I have much pleasure in seconding this amendment for the reason that I do not think that actually being the president of a board of this kind need imply undue influence, or being Vice-president or Secretary either. It will satisfy the public, and if my hon. friend on the right (the Surveyor-General) is on the Board, he can have as much influence on it as if he were president of it. That is my experience. I am president of several boards in the colony, and I never attempt to influence anything. (Laughter.) I leave it to the members. I think this is an amendment which the Government might very well sanction. I do not see what harm it could do. We must not forget when we are sitting here that we are legislating for an English colony. This is not Russia. This is a free country where we do everything pro bono publico and not for any particular person. None of us have interest in the public monies- at least, I hope we have not. We have to do the business of the public, and if the public wish it they have a right to choose their own representatives.\n\nThe ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE-I understand it was clearly arranged that the Sanitary Board should hold its meetings in public. I think your Excellency said so at the last meeting. If so, the influence of any one member on the board will not be so great as it might be if it were a secret tribunal dealing with public affairs. They are going to deal with them in the eyes of the public. Exceptions might be taken on the same grounds to the Governor appointing a Magistrate, or Judge, or any other officer who had to sit in public as to the president. The public, through the Press, will know of the meetings and the newspapers will report the proceedings as long as they are interesting, but after a time I do not think that readers will find the reports very entertaining reading. But the real safeguard is the fact that the proceedings shall be public. I think I should be inclined, if this were still a secret board, to join with the hon. member in saying they ought to elect their own president, because the Bill says the Chairman has a casting vote. The hon. member says he does not try to influence any of the members of the boards of which he is Chairman, but I don't think, if he were not a very influential member, he would be Chairman of so many of them. I really think the public, for whom we are legislating, have got every safeguard by the fact that this is to be an open tribunal and that the representatives of the public-the Press-will be present and bring to light anything they think iniquitous or improper.\n\nThe ACTING ATTORNEY-GENERAL-It must be borne in mind that the new Board will consist of only four official and six unofficial members. It should also be borne in mind the President is to be the executive or working member of the Board, and with the large amount of business he will have to do I think you will find it very difficult indeed to find any one but a Government official who would accept the office. As the non-official element is large on this Board, I think it only right the Government should keep in its own hands the appointment of the officers.\n\nPage 180\n\nHon. A. P. MACEWEN-I would point out to the hon. member when he says the unofficial element predominates that the Governor has the power of appointing four of the unofficial members. Now, there is nothing to prevent the Governor appointing, say, a military man, and so it is not certain that the unofficial element will predominate.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY-With regard to the military man, the military generally have their own board of health, and I do not think it is usual. I won't say it is against the law, to appoint any one belonging to the garrison to such a board as this.\n\nHon. A. P. MACEWEN-I merely point out the possibility.\n\nA division was then taken on the amendment:-\n\nAYES.\n\nHon. C. P. Chater\n\nHon. J. Bell-Irving\n\nHon. A. P. MacEwen\n\nHon. Wong Shing\n\nHon. P. Ryrie\n\nNOES.\n\nThe Harbour-Master\n\nThe Surveyor-General\n\nThe Colonial Treasurer\n\nThe Acting Attorney-General\n\nThe Acting Colonial Secretary\n\nThe Acting Chief Justice\n\nThe amendment was therefore lost by a majority of one and the clause adopted as it stood.\n\nIn clause 8, which reads as follows: \"If any member of the Board be at any time prevented by absence or other cause from acting for more than six months, the Governor may appoint or if the member has been elected the electors may nominate some other person to replace such member, until he shall be able to resume his functions.\"\n\nHon. J. BELL-IRVING proposed the following amendment--\"After the words 'six months' to leave out the words 'The Governor may appoint,' for the purpose of inserting the words 'the Board may elect.'\"\n\nA division was taken on the amendment, which resulted as follows:-\n\nAYES.\n\nHon. C. P. Chater\n\nHon. J. Bell-Irving\n\nHon. A. P. MacEwen\n\nHon. Wong Shing\n\nHon. P. Ryrie\n\nNOES.\n\nThe Harbour-Master\n\nThe Surveyor-General\n\nThe Colonial Treasurer\n\nThe Acting Attorney-General\n\nThe Acting Colonial Secretary\n\nThe Acting Chief-Justice\n\nThe amendment was therefore lost by majority of one, and the clause adopted as it stood.\n\nOn clause 11, which limits the expenditure of the Board without the sanction of the Governor to $50.\n\nHon. P. RYRIE said--I have already objected to this, but seeing that all the other clauses have been carried I do not think it is any use proposing an amendment. As I said before, the sum of $50 left to the Board to spend is a very... I do not know what to call it--but it certainly is small, and I think this Council might very well, if they are going to have a Board of Health, give that Board power to spend a little money. I believe it is against the regulations of the Secretary of State, but the Secretary of State might be asked to give them some little power, for what can a board do with fifty dollars? Probably it will tie their hands at times. If they send up a requisition probably your Excellency will always sign it, but I think if the Board has any existence at all, it should not be limited in its expenditure to such a small sum as fifty dollars.\n\nThe ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE-I don't think this clause ought to be in the Bill at all. It is utterly wrong in principle, because the Governor is entirely responsible, and if you put down fifty dollars, I don't see why you should not put down a thousand. If there is any money required to be suddenly and necessarily expended the president, who is likely to be a responsible person appointed by the Governor, ought to take the responsibility of spending that money, knowing he will be able to get the Governor's authority for it afterwards.\n\nThe SURVEYOR-GENERAL-May I interrupt the hon. member? That was the sole object intended.\n\nThe ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE-There might be a series of fifty dollars. If the necessity exists for spending five hundred dollars the Governor will sanction it and the Legislature will approve his act in a supplementary Bill if necessary.\n\nPage 50", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-234 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Des Voeus - 1887 [9-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 334772, "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": "CO129-234 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Des Voeus - 1887 [9-12]", "page_number": 54, "title": "CO129-234 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Des Voeus - 1887 [9-12]", "content_text": "the vote is not provided for in the estimates. Although we know the theory is that every sum of money spent by the spending departments has received the previous sanction of the Governor, we know that often money has to be spent by the responsible chief of a department and he gets the sanction afterwards. I therefore think the section should not be in the Bill and that the president or the Board, if they are fit for their work, ought to be ready to take the responsibility of spending not fifty dollars but a hundred and fifty and seeking the Governor's sanction afterwards. However, if it is the desire of the Council that the clause should remain, I will not oppose it.\n\nThe ACTING ATTORNEY-GENERAL--This clause merely embodies a regulation actually in force. The departments have their estimates passed and approved of, and within the limits of those estimates they may spend the sums therein provided. It is only in case of unforeseen circumstances arising that this clause would come into force. Strictly speaking it is not absolutely necessary.\n\nHon. P. RYRIE-I quite agree with the remarks which fell from his Honour the Chief Justice. We had better leave the clause out altogether and let the rule of the service apply that if money is wanted a requisition must be sent in.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY-The Government are very much of the same opinion with regard to what his Honour said just now, but this clause stood in the Bill when it was last before the Legislative Council, and we did not think we had any right to withdraw it. Therefore it has been put before the Council again. You must recollect these small sums-suppose you made it even one hundred dollars-are to cover what we call incidentals. There must always be something overlooked. They must not have to come to the Government for every few dollars; you must always have a little margin for incidentals. But the Government has not the remotest objection to striking out the clause, because we think it is all provided for departmentally.\n\nThe ACTING ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved that the clause be struck out.\n\nThe ACTING COLONIAL SECRETARY seconded. Carried nem. con.\n\nClause 13 gives the Board power to make by-laws with regard to a number of matters detailed in twenty-six sub-sections. In sub-section 1 applying to sewers and private house drains an amendment was effected upon the proposal of ACTING ATTORNEY-GENERAL by striking out the portion relating to sewers and limiting the power of the Board to private house drains.\n\nSub-sections 2, 3, and 5-the provision and proper construction of privies in private premises; the provision of adequate space about dwelling-houses in order to secure a free circulation of air; the proper lighting and ventilation of dwelling houses-were withdrawn by the Government, the Acting Attorney-General stating they would form part of the Building Ordinance. With reference to sub-section 4, the provision of adequate subsoil drainage in order to arrest damp in dwelling houses,\n\nHon. P. RYRIO said he thought subsoil drainage was hardly necessary here. Indeed he thought it might be very dangerous. The town was built on the slopes of a hill and there should be no subsoil drainage. He thought the clause should be struck out.\n\nThe SURVEYOR-GENERAL-Subsoil drainage means, or aims at securing, dry floors by means of agricultural field pipes where floors are damp. I am told damp floors here are a very fruitful source of disease. A very well known disease, beri-beri, is due to damp floors, and therefore where you have back walls very high it seems any Public Health Bill would be incomplete without some provision of this kind for the arrest of damp in ground floors. I hope my hon. friend will not persist in his amendment. This is a most useful provision.\n\nHon. P. RYRIO-I am under the impression it is unnecessary. Beri-beri is unknown here.\n\nThe SURVEYOR-GENERAL-Oh! no.\n\nHon. P. RYRIO-I never heard of it.\n\nThe ACTING ATTORNEY-GENERAL-This provision only authorises the Board to make by-laws and those by-laws are to be laid on the table of this Council, so that my hon. friend will have full opportunity of discussing them and objecting to them if there be any ground for objection.\n\nHon. C. P. CHATER-I have much pleasure in seconding the amendment. Such a thing is entirely unknown amongst the Chinese, and I think if proper care were taken and the floors properly concreted and cemented, any damp there may be now would be kept away. The whole of the town is built on a hill and water finds its own level, so that if a floor is properly concreted we do not want subsoil drainage. The drains are very expensive for the Chinese, and with all the additions we have to make millions of money would be spent.\n\nA division was taken on the motion that the clause be struck out with the following result:\n\nAYES.\n\nHon. C. P. Chater\n\nHon. P. Ryrie\n\nNOES.\n\nHon. J. Bell-Irving\n\nHon. A. P. MacEwen\n\nHon. Wong Shing\n\nThe Harbour-Master\n\nThe Surveyor-General\n\nThe Colonial Treasurer\n\nThe Acting Attorney-General\n\nThe Acting Colonial Secretary\n\nThe Acting Chief Justice\n\nThe motion was therefore lost and the clause passed.\n\nHon. P. RYRIO moved an amendment in sub-section 6. Instead of reading \"The cleansing, lime-whiting, and proper sanitary maintenance of all premises in the Colony\" he proposed it should read \"all Chinese premises.\" Householders of a better class, he said, would always take care that their premises were kept in proper order.\n\nHon. J. BELL-IRVING seconded.\n\nThe ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE said that where whitewashing was unnecessary the Board would not direct it to be done.

The Council resumed consideration, in Committee, of the Public Health Bill commencing at clause 19, which defines the word \"nuisance.\" Hon. P. RYRIE drew attention to the fact that failure to supply privy accommodation was to be a nuisance by the first sub-section of the clause, and said there was strong objection to that.\n\nIt was explained that the presence of the word \"privy\" in the clause was due to a clerical error and that the provisions with regard to that subject had been relegated to the Building Ordinance.\n\nHon. P. RYRIE also objected to the declaration that a house is to be considered a nuisance \"the clear cubic capacity of which is less than three hundred cubic feet for each person or inmate passing the night therein.\" He said he thought to lay down a hard and fast line that every individual in the Colony should have 300 cubic feet of space would cause great dissatisfaction. In fact, it would be almost impossible to ascertain at any time whether the number of occupants in a house were in proportion to the cubic contents. Visitors were continually passing through. He proposed that that portion referring to 300 cubic feet be struck out. The question would be whether the occupation of a house by numbers in excess of the proportion named would render it unhealthy. The Chinese did not think so. We see it stated in public prints that on board ships nothing like three hundred feet are allowed. The licensed coolie-houses could be easily regulated, but he thought it would be impossible to regulate ordinary Chinese family houses.\n\nHon. WONG SHING seconded.\n\nThe ACTING ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he did not think this was the proper place to discuss the question of overcrowding. That would arise properly on section 71, which read as follows:- \"Every domestic building or portion thereof found to be inhabited in excess of a proportion of one adult to every three hundred cubic feet of clear internal space shall be considered to be in an overcrowded condition and shall be deemed a nuisance.\" He therefore had no objection to striking out the words from section 19.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY said he hoped that hon. members perfectly understood that the subject would be resumed when they got to section 71.\n\nHon. A. P. MACEWEN-Perhaps it would be well to inform the Council in the meantime of certain objections I have received from the Chinese for consideration when clause 71 comes before us. They say the objection is that 300 cubic feet of clear internal space for every adult Chinese is unnecessary. The poorer classes of the Chinese object most strongly to this clause. They allege that they are too poor to afford more room to themselves and families on account of their low wages and the high rent. They also say that they are generally away from home the greater part of the day, are continuously in the open air and very often sleep out in the street. Their wives and children too are for the most part of the day out in the open air and only for a few hours they are within doors. There is very little doubt that some of the middle class and the whole of the lower class will be very seriously affected by these overcrowding clauses, and the subject is of such vital importance as to merit the earnest attention of the Government. The consequences may be to drive away many poor but useful residents from the Colony and the creation of discontent and ill-feeling among the labouring classes. I only beg to point out these facts to you before you come to consider the clause.\n\nThe subsection was then passed with the words referred to deleted.\n\nHon. C. P. CHATER suggested that at the end of subsection 6, which read as follows-\"Any noxious matter, or waste waters, flowing or discharging from any premises wherever situated into any public street, road, or into the gutter or side channel of any street or road, or into any nullah or water-course, or the bed thereof\" the words \"provided a public sewer exists with which connection can be made\" be added.\n\nHon. A. P. MACEWEN said there was also an objection on the part of the Chinese to the throwing of waste waters into the side channels being considered a nuisance, because they said they were in the habit of throwing the water, after washing, into the side channels.\n\nThe SURVEYOR-GENERAL said that side-channels in a civilised city were made exclusively for the carrying off of rain water, and that if sewage were led into such places it would create a most intolerable and abominable nuisance. One of the duties of the sanitary staff was to prevent the nuisance that would arise from allowing people to throw their refuse into the side channels. There was always a house-drain into which such waste water ought to be thrown. It was provided every house should have a house-drain, and if there was a house-drain there was no reason why this abominable nuisance of leading the sewage into side-channels should be tolerated, and as every house would have a house-drain, he was not quite able to see the point of the suggestion of his hon. friend on the right (Hon. C. P. Chater) because obviously if there were an aggregation of houses with house-drains there must be a public sewer.\n\nHon. C. P. CHATER-There are isolated cases where there are no sewers.\n\nThe ACTING ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he thought every house had a drain though it might not lead to a sewer.\n\nHon. C. P. CHATER-Perhaps they lead to the side channels.\n\nThe SURVEYOR-GENERAL-No, I must correct my hon. friend. There is no such case. Besides, the sewers are being extended every day and that is one of the objects-to provide complete sewerage for the city. I strongly urge my hon. friends not to press the amendment, which would transform the side channels, at present tolerably clean, into open sewers.\n\nHon. A. P. MACEWEN said he thought the explanation given by the Surveyor-General was satisfactory. It only showed the necessity for ventilating these points because the Chinese were apparently ignorant of them.\n\nThe ACTING ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that if such a thing existed as a house without a drain, it would be impossible for the Sanitary Board to proceed against the householder for throwing his waste water into the side channel. It must go somewhere, and if there were no drain or sewer it must go on to the roadside. But the Surveyor-General said there was no such thing. Every house had its own drain.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY asked if detached villas had drains.\n\nThe SURVEYOR-GENERAL—Yes, they are provided with drainage. I don't say house drains leading into sewers, but they are provided with drainage. At the Peak there are no sewers. The houses there lead their drainage to iron tanks, and those tanks are emptied periodically.\n\nThe subsection was then passed.\n\nOn the motion of the Acting Attorney-General the consideration of sections 20 to 25 was adjourned.\n\nThe ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE moved that the words \"nor less than five dollars\" be struck out of section 28. He said that minimum fines had been abolished some years ago by Ordinance under orders from home.\n\nAfter some discussion section 28 and also section 29, on which the same point arose, were left over for further consideration.\n\nOn the motion of the ACTING ATTORNEY-GENERAL sections 32 and 33 were struck out. He said the matters they referred to would be provided for as far as was necessary in the bye-laws.\n\nHon. J. BELL-IRVING pointed out that in section 34, which prohibits the keeping of pigs, goats, or cattle without a licence from the Sanitary Board, sheep had been omitted. He suggested also that the words \"except for private use\" be inserted after cattle.\n\nThe ACTING ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that the insertion of the words \"except for private use\" would open the door to great abuse. People might have a large number of pigs and say they were for private use. It would be impossible to say what the words meant.\n\nThe SURVEYOR-GENERAL suggested that the wording be altered to read as follows:- \"Cattle, swine, sheep or goats.\"\n\nThis suggestion was adopted and the clause amended accordingly.\n\nA discussion arose with respect to section 36, which gives the Sanitary Board power to issue by-laws for the prevention or mitigation of epidemic and provides as a penalty for breach of such by-laws a fine not exceeding $200 or six months' imprisonment.\n\nHon. A. P. MACEWEN said six months' imprisonment appeared a very heavy penalty.\n\nPage 52", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-234 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Des Voeus - 1887 [9-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 334774, "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": "CO129-234 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Des Voeus - 1887 [9-12]", "page_number": 56, "title": "CO129-234 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Des Voeus - 1887 [9-12]", "content_text": "The ACTING Attorney-GENERAL said the words “not exceeding” ought to be inserted.\n\nHon. A. P. MACEWEN said he still thought penalty too heavy.\n\nThe ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE said he thought the hon. member need not be afraid that the Magistrates would inflict the maximum penalty. Hon. A. P. MACEWEN said with all deference to His Honour, they were not dealing with probabilities. Such a case might arise,\n\nHon. C. P. CHATER said he thought the fine of $200 was too heavy. He moved as an amendment “not exceeding $100 or to imprisonment not exceeding three months.\"\n\nHis EXCELLENCY—You must recollect this would only come into operation in a time of very great peril and under most exceptional circumstances. It appears to me there is no danger, as His Honour remarked just now, in entrusting the Magistrate with that power in a moment of very great peril to the whole Colony.\n\nThe SURVEYOR-GENERAL said that under normal circumstances the penalty might be considered very heavy, but the section would only apply when the circumstances were abnormal, when the whole of the Colony was exposed to a most formidable danger.\n\nHon. C. P. CHATER—I do not think a heavy fine or being imprisoned for six months would prevent the people from infringing the by-laws, but having once done so I think the sentence would be too severe.\n\nHon. P. RYRIE said he agreed with his hon. friend on the right. He thought a fine of $100 or three months' imprisonment would be sufficient. He therefore seconded the amendment.\n\nThe COLONIAL TREASURER—I really cannot agree with the gentlemen opposite. Perhaps they will allow me to remind them of what happened at the time when there was cattle disease in the colony. Some cattle were slaughtered and buried on the other side of Happy Valley, but that was not sufficient to elude Chinese ingenuity and watchfulness, and some Chinese came and took up these loathsome carcasses, cut them up, and some portions were offered as human food in the market. That was only in the case of cattle disease. But suppose that what the Colony was threatened with was cholera or something of that kind, and suppose some Chinese compradore or trader to put five dollars in his pocket—and he would do it without the slightest hesitation—lets loose upon the population the risk, or the certainty, perhaps, of cholera. I do not hesitate to say in that case a fine of $100 with an alternative of three months' imprisonment would be howled at by the whole community as totally inadequate, and the probability is the Magistrate who had imposed the fine would be soundly abused for not having imposed a heavier penalty when this Council had taken away from him the power of doing so.\n\nHon. A. P. MACEWEN asked the Chief Justice if he would state his opinion.\n\nThe ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE—What my friend opposite (the Colonial Treasurer) has said about diseased cattle has convinced me. It is true that people did take up diseased cattle, and I think a fine of $200 would be almost inadequate for such an offence. I would like to see the person who committed it imprisoned without the option of a fine. Every case must be dealt with as it arises, and you must presume that magistrates are men of common sense and will deal with each case according to circumstances.\n\nHon. A. P. MacEwen—Don't you think three months' imprisonment would be sufficient even for such a grave offence as the Colonial Treasurer has mentioned?\n\nThe ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE—Certainly not; I would give a man twelve months for poisoning people.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY—This would apply in very exceptional cases, and it seems to me it cannot do any public injury.\n\nA division was then taken on Hon. C. P. Chater's amendment, which resulted as follows:\n\nAYES.\n\nHon. C. P. Chater\n\nHon. A. P. MacEwen\n\nHon. Wong Shing\n\nHon. P. Ryrie\n\nNOES.\n\nHon. J.

A. P. MacEwen, seconded by Hon. P. Ryrie, left over for further consideration.\n\nPage 53", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-234 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Des Voeus - 1887 [9-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 334776, "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": "CO129-234 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Des Voeus - 1887 [9-12]", "page_number": 58, "title": "CO129-234 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Des Voeus - 1887 [9-12]", "content_text": "Instead of using good bricks, they put in mere brickbats and used no mortar, but simply paddled earth. Unless they had the wise provision made in this clause, that would be repeated in every house. The officers of the Board were limited in number, and they would have to go from house to house, and in the intervals between their visits, the work would be scamped. Therefore, the Board, after much discussion, came to the conclusion, and the hon. gentleman (Hon. A. P. MacEwen) fully agreed with them, that they should have a list of honest contractors, and that all works should be done by these people. It was not likely, as the Acting Attorney-General said, that the Board would reject any man who could give a proper guarantee. The sole object was to get the work done satisfactorily, because a bad drain was worse than no drain at all.\n\nThe ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE said Mr. Chadwick, in his report, had made a recommendation, in almost the same words as those used in the Ordinance, that the work should be done by the Government or persons approved by the Government.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY—They have even found it necessary at home. I think I am right in saying so?\n\nThe SURVEYOR-GENERAL—Yes.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY—I don't think the Council would wish to act so unfairly by the Board as not to strengthen their hands to the necessary extent. We want this drainage thoroughly well done, and therefore we must arm the Board with the necessary power. As far as I understand, there will be a number of these contractors. The work won't be confined to two or three men. There will be a number from whom to choose.\n\nHon. A. P. MacEwen—Then I understand any landlord can employ his own contractor!\n\nThe SURVEYOR-GENERAL—Provided he is satisfactory to the Board.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY—If he is on the list.\n\nThe SURVEYOR-GENERAL—Yes; or he need not be on the list. Provided he is an honest contractor known to the Board, there will be no objection.\n\nHon. P. Ryrie—I think a list would be very dangerous. A man might sell his name to someone else.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY—That is a danger that we are always exposed to, as I know from my experience in the army. We employ a man and he sublets his contract. That is a danger we must try to guard against.\n\nThe ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE—And there is provision for supervision by the Board.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY asked the Hon. A. P. MacEwen if he was satisfied with the explanation that had been given.\n\nHon. A. P. MacEwen said the explanation was not altogether satisfactory. He had had many conversations with Chinese on this subject and had had much information given to him, though this was not the time to notice it, and it would be more satisfactory if they had the opportunity of employing their own men and paying their own prices.\n\nPage 53\n\nHis EXCELLENCY—By their own prices, you mean, of course, the prices for thoroughly good work. If they employ people who do the work in a very indifferent way, as explained by the Surveyor-General, of course, the contract would be very much cheaper; but you mean the most economical way of doing thoroughly good work?\n\nHon. A. P. MacEwen—Precisely, and with that object, I propose that it shall be done to the satisfaction of the Board.\n\nHon. P. Ryrie seconded the amendment of the Hon. A. P. MacEwen. He said he had had some experience of contractors' work. He referred to a case where a tender of $4,700 was worked down by competition to $3,000 odd. If a number of men were to be put into a special class, it would give them an advantage over the others.\n\nThe ACTING ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that in connection with this clause, an amendment would be moved in clause 79, providing that only all \"reasonable\" expenses incurred by the Board could be recovered. If any landlord could prove the sum claimed from him for constructing his drain was not reasonable, the Judge would not grant it, and on that insertion being made, the Chinese who came to him (the speaker) on the subject withdrew their objection.\n\nThe ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE said he did not think it likely the Board would be employed to do much of this work. What he understood was that the Board wanted to get a number of men by whom they knew the work would be done honestly if it was left to them, and that the drain would not be, to use Mr. Chadwick's words, an elongated cesspool filled with mud through which the sewage infiltrated. It might perhaps meet the views of the hon. member if they were to add at the end, after the words \"under the Supervision of the Board,\" \"or to the satisfaction of the Board,\" making still another alternative. If it was found the work had been scamped, it could then be taken up again. It would give a wider latitude to the Board in case they could trust the persons doing the works.\n\nHon. A. P. MacEwen—The remarks of his Honour are very much to the point, and I would be perfectly satisfied if his suggestion be adopted.\n\nThe SURVEYOR-GENERAL—I trust Your Excellency will see your way to let this clause stand as it is. I assure you there is no intention to take away work from any honest contractor. The sole object of the Sanitary Board—in which my hon. friend entirely concurred, so that I am taken very much by surprise today by his opposition—the sole object of the Sanitary Board is to keep out a number of scamps who might be put forward to do this work. There are a great many natives who do not know the value of a house drain, who simply have one because the law requires it. They want to comply with the law, but it is immaterial to them whether the work be done in the most perfunctory manner or be done well. It is therefore most important this power should be retained in the hands of the Board. I am perfectly sure the alarm expressed about this is groundless. It has been stated, over and over again, that there is no likelihood of the Board rejecting any man who gives security for doing the work properly. I very much wish hon. members would leave the clause as it stands. I cannot conceive any clause of the Bill more important than this.\n\nHon. A. P. MacEwen—I think the hon. member has twice in his remarks this evening alluded to my approval of what took place in the Sanitary Board. That is perfectly correct, but I never bound myself by any information we received from an expert like the Surveyor-General. I reserved to myself the right to discuss the Bill when it was brought before the public, and when it was so brought before the public, I received a great deal of information. I don't think my hon. friend is right, therefore, in trying to bind me down, as regards my position in this Council, by anything I said in the Sanitary Board.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY—I think that is quite understood.\n\nThe SURVEYOR-GENERAL said the words suggested by the Acting Chief Justice dispensed with supervision by the Board.\n\nThe ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE—Not necessarily. It says the work is to be done under the supervision of the Board or to the satisfaction of the Board.\n\nThe SURVEYOR-GENERAL—Provided it does not dispense with supervision, I have no objection.\n\nThe clause was amended accordingly. Clauses 61, 62, and 53 were struck out, being relocated to the Building Ordinance.\n\nHon. WONG SHING said that clause 64 (re-numbered 62), which requires a space of four feet between a building and a slope of the hillside, would entail a great sacrifice of property. He mentioned specially the houses on the northern side of Queen's Road and Jervois Street.\n\nThe ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE said it seemed to him premature to discuss this clause until they had decided on the definition of a new building. As he understood, a building taken down to a certain extent was to be considered a new building. Along Queen's Road and Jervois Street, there were basements which had been inhabited for thirty or forty years. If a house there were burnt down, it would have to be reconstructed, and if it were still to be used as a dwelling, a space of four feet will have to be left between the house and the hillside, although the basement had been occupied as a dwelling for thirty or forty years. Was that necessary, or was it what was intended? If so, then there would clearly be a great sacrifice of property. But it occurred to him that it might meet the views both of the Sanitary Board and the Chinese, if it were left to the Sanitary Board in each particular case to decide whether a four feet passage should be left or not. He should think that in the case of most of the houses along Queen's Road and Jervois Street that were completely dry and had been inhabited for many years, in the event of reconstruction, they would be allowed to be rebuilt as they had been before.\n\nPage 55", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-234 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Des Voeus - 1887 [9-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 334781, "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": "CO129-234 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Des Voeus - 1887 [9-12]", "page_number": 63, "title": "CO129-234 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Des Voeus - 1887 [9-12]", "content_text": "LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL No. 28.\n\nFRIDAY, 6TH MAY, 1887.\n\n60\n\nPRESENT:\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY MAJOR-GENERAL WILLIAM GORDON CAMERON, C.B., Administering the Government in the absence of His Excellency SIR GEORGE FERGUSON BOWEN, G.C.M.G.

The Honorary Treasurer to the Jubilee Committee reports that a similar sum will be raised among the British and Foreign Communities, exclusive of the Chinese subscriptions. It is proposed to erect a statue of the Queen on the Praya, or most conspicuous site that can be chosen, not only as an emblem of England's sovereignty, and the devoted loyalty of Her Majesty's subjects in this Colony, English and Chinese, but as a token of the affectionate regard evinced towards our beloved Queen on this memorable occasion by our foreign friends who live among us, and have so generously contributed to the Jubilee Fund. The statue of the Queen will thus also commemorate the good-will which exists among all classes of the Community in the year 1887, and which it is hoped may ever continue; and the Government feel sure that in asking for this vote, it is merely giving expression to the wishes of the public.\n\nGovernment House, Hongkong, 19th September, 1887.\n\nThe Acting Colonial Secretary gave notice that, at the next Meeting, he would move that the Council approve of the Vote of $25,000 towards the Jubilee Fund.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-234 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Des Voeus - 1887 [9-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 335136, "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": "CO129-234 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Des Voeus - 1887 [9-12]", "page_number": 418, "title": "CO129-234 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Des Voeus - 1887 [9-12]", "content_text": "VOTE OF MONEY REFERRED TO THE FINANCE COMMITTEE.--Read the following Minute by His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government:--\n\nC.S.O. 9090 of 1887.\n\nW.

RYRIE.\n\nThe Bill was passed by a majority of one, and numbered as Ordinance No. 24 of 1887.\n\nCLOSING OF THE SESSION.-His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government then closed the Session with the following speech :-\n\nHONOURABLE GENTLEMEN OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL,\n\nThe time has now arrived for closing this session, and it will be for the consideration of His Excellency the Governor, Sir G. WILLIAM DES Vœux when the Council is to re-assemble. The Session of 1886-1887 has been unusually prolonged for the purpose of disposing of that vexed and long pending question \"The Public Health Ordinance,\" and it is hoped you will be well repaid for your labours, when, in the course of time, the benefits conferred by this Bill will have practically manifested themselves, and been duly recognized by the Public.\n\nThe Opium Ordinance, as far as can be seen, is fully realizing the anticipations of Government in improving our friendly relations with China, whilst in no way injuring the interests of the honest trader. The Ordinance has been worked locally without, I believe, any friction or inconveniences to our own people, and the Chinese Commissioner of Customs informs me that smuggling has been effectually stopped.\n\nComplaints on the part of the merchants regarding increased duties imposed on certain articles of commerce have been met in a friendly and accommodating spirit by the Chinese Foreign Collectorate, and my despatches on the subject, which are, confidentially, open to the perusal of Honourable Members, will, I trust, have properly represented the commercial interests of the Community.\n\nThe invaluable services of His Honour, Acting Chief Justice RUSSELL, who has been chiefly instrumental in bringing about so happy a settlement of this difficult and embarrassing Opium question, have been fully recognized by Her Majesty's Government and the Government of Hongkong, and he well deserves the thanks of the whole community whose interests he has so well represented.\n\nMr. SETH has been most indefatigable and able in his management of the Opium Office, and to him is largely due the successful working of the Ordinance.\n\nAmong other Ordinances which have been passed this Session and which call for remarks are-\n\n1. Post Office,\n\n2. Police Force,\n\n3. Juries and Licences,\n\nhave been amended and consolidated by several Ordinances passed this session.\n\n4. The Law concerning Joint Stock Companies has by Ordinance No. 30 of 1886 been amended and improved by the introduction into this Colony of the provisions of certain Imperial Statutes.\n\n5. Closely allied to these three Ordinances is that of No. 16 of 1887 empowering the Courts to award whipping for certain crimes-an Ordinance which it is hoped will act as a strong and effectual deterrent, and will therefore not be often put into force.\n\n6. The Cattle Diseases, Slaughter House, and Markets Ordinance (No. 17 of 1887) is a useful and practical piece of legislation, the object of which is to secure the Colony from the introduction of cattle plague or other infectious diseases, the better regulation of our slaughter houses, and the cleanliness and good order of our markets.\n\n7. The Ordinances relating to the protection of adopted daughters and young girls has been furthered by the passing of Ordinance No. 9 of 1887.\n\n8. The work of the Law Revision Committee and the preparation of the revised edition of the Ordinances has been furthered by the passing of these Ordinances and by the Statute Law Revision Ordinance No. 4 of 1887, which finally repeals and removes from our Statute Book no less than 102 Ordinances and parts of 5 others.\n\n9. The cause of order and peace in the Colony has been further promoted by the passing-\n\ni. Of an Ordinance regulating the carriage and possession of arms.\n\nii. Of an Ordinance enabling Government to take steps for the suppression of the Triad and other unlawful Societies, and\n\niii. Of an Ordinance for the more effectual prevention of crime by placing under police supervision all criminals who are liberated from gaol before expiry of their sentence.\n\nThe necessity of the second mentioned Ordinance was strongly urged on the Government by a Commission which was appointed to enquire into Secret Societies, and which proved to what an extent these unlawful Societies existed here, and the power which they were enabled to exercise, a power which they used not only for their personal benefit, but often to the prejudice of justice by the help which they extended to criminals.\n\nThe improvement in the discipline and management of the Gaol has been well maintained, and acts as a wholesome deterrent to crime.\n\nThe large increase in the total tonnage of shipping entering this port, as shown in the Harbour Master's report, speaks well for the growing prosperity of the Colony, which is still further evidenced by the steadily increasing population and extensive building and reclamation operations either in progress or being planned.\n\nThere is apparently every sign that this prosperity, in which we are happy to see our Chinese fellow-citizens so largely participating, is of a substantial and lasting character, and that the Colony has a great future before it.\n\nIn respect of Public Works and Improvements, as satisfactory progress has been made as could be expected under the difficulties of the rainy season.\n\nAmong the more important undertakings of the year may be mentioned the extension of the main sewers of the town on improved sanitary principles. Another instalment of nearly two miles of these new main drains has been added to those previously existing since my predecessor last addressed you.\n\nThe new Victoria College works are now well advanced, and it is anticipated that the new building will be ready for occupation during the earlier portion of next year. Unforeseen legal difficulties in clearing the Central Market of its tenants have led to some delay in the commencement of the new Public Market, but these difficulties having now been surmounted, arrangements have been made to begin the new market buildings early next month when the rainy season will have practically come to a close.\n\nThe tunnel under the Tytam mountain range being now open throughout, the extension of the public water supply is rapidly approaching completion.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-234 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Des Voeus - 1887 [9-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 335258, "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": "CO129-234 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Des Voeus - 1887 [9-12]", "page_number": 540, "title": "CO129-234 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Des Voeus - 1887 [9-12]", "content_text": "was 814. Looking westward from under the arch the avenue extending to Ice House street formed a perfect picture in the day time with its strings of flags spanning the road at short intervals. If the flags could have been replaced by lamps at sundown the night effect would have been much enhanced, as there was a want of over-head light to complete the thing, notwithstanding the brilliancy of the house illuminations.\n\nMessrs. Siemssen and Co., next door to the Bank, had a large display of Japanese lanterns of a unique description in lines and curves. Victoria Building (occupied by Mr. Chater's office, and those of brokers, merchants, &c.) had a brilliant gas illumination over the front of the porch showing the Queen's head in a wreath, with \"1837\" and \"1887\" to the left and right, and a 4ft. star on each side of the porch. The whole portion and the cornices of the building were also completely outlined with gas jets. Underneath the cornices were lines of red, white, and blue cloth inter-woven and looped up with rosettes, and there were masses of green foliage under the windows. On the porch was also a trophy of flags with a shield bearing the British Lion and on two other shields were the Prince of Wales's coat of arms. The street decorations of this section converged at this point, a large lantern hanging from a convenient branch of the tree opposite, and strings of smaller lanterns running from it to the posts from which the flags were stretched across the road. Messrs. E. D. Sassoon and Co. had their hong illuminated with a large number of white and red lanterns tastefully arranged. Messrs. Pustan and Co., at the corner house, had rows of various coloured lanterns running the whole length of the building and coloured glass lamps along the parapet.\n\nThe New Oriental Bank at the corner of Queen's-road and Duddell-street had a profuse display of coloured lanterns hanging from bamboos at the top. The Chartered Bank, at the opposite corner, was illuminated with lanterns and glass lamps on the first and second floor, and the ground floor had lamps hung round the arches of the building. The Chartered Mercantile Bank, on the opposite side of Queen's-road, had lanterns following the lines of the building, with \"V. R.\" in small glass lamps in the centre. Along the remains of the adjoining house, now in course of demolition, rows of lanterns were hung. The Telegraph Companies' offices had a large display of lanterns. Messrs. Kelly and Walsh had a \"V. R.\" in red lanterns, and a large number of variegated lanterns.\n\nThe Hongkong Hotel made a large use of gas in its illumination. On the Queen's-road side it had 6 ft. Crown, and the letter \"V\" on one side and \"R\" on the other, each 4 feet high. On the Pedder's street frontage there was a 7 ft. star with the \"V\" and \"R\" the same as in Queen's Road. On the Queen's-road side were the words \"God bless our Queen\" in English and Chinese, and \"Victoria's Jubilee,\" and the arches on the ground floor had lanterns running round them. In Pedder's-street the verandah arches were filled up in the same way on the ground and first floors, with a lamp at the entrance bearing the words \"The Jubilee Year, 1887.\" There were also shields and trophies of flags. The hall of the Hotel was brilliantly illuminated with lanterns, some with mottos, one of them very practically conveying the recommendation \"Let us drink to the health, long life, and happiness of our gracious Queen Victoria.\"\n\nThe Victoria Dispensary, on the opposite side of the street was decorated with flags and the chambers above were illuminated with Japanese lanterns. Mr. Piron's, Mr. Kahn's, Mr. Henerfanth's, and Mr. Lang's establishments were also illuminated with lanterns. The large house jointly occupied by Messrs. Adamson, Bell & Co., Messrs. W. G. Humphreys and Co., and the Chinese Insurance Co. had an elaborate design carried out in lanterns. On the top floor was the word \"Victoria,\" each letter occupying one arch, with a frame of coloured lanterns. On the second floor was \"Regina,\" with the end arches filled in with a cross, and on the ground floor were the figures \"1837-1887.” Messrs. Heuermann, Herbst and Co. had the British and German flags flying from the top floor with the red and white ensigns and the Union Jack hung together in the centre, and the arches of the building filled in with lanterns. Lock Hing had a fine show of expensive Japanese lanterns on the front of his house, and strings of lanterns from a flagstaff at the top.\n\nMessrs. Kruse and Co. illuminated their building with lanterns of various descriptions, and on the first floor had large ones with \"V. R.\" and ensigns painted on them. The hong of Mr. A. R. Marty, the ground floor of which is occupied by the store of Gaieu Frères, had the arches of the first and second floor outlined with small colored glass lamps, with clusters of the same hanging from the centre of each. There was also a wedge-shaped transparency projecting into the street with \"V. R.\" on each face, and the building had flags running up at each side. Atack's store was illuminated with lanterns with the Union Jack painted on them.\n\nTurning back along Queen's-road to the westward, passing the houses already described, we arrive at the Clock Tower, the central point and most striking feature of the illuminations, being conspicuous at once for the beauty and boldness of the design on which it was treated. The whole of the four sides were covered with small glass lamps, with paper lanterns running down the corners, and a little relief work at the top. Craning the neck upwards for a close view gave little idea of the splendid effect when the Tower was seen from a distance, either from the water or from the higher levels. One is tempted to regret that such a thing of beauty should have to fade so soon into its natural sombreness and resume its position as the antithesis of \"a joy for ever.\" The design for this illumination was by the Surveyor-General, and it was carried out by Mr. Andrew Millar. The Post Office had a gas 4-feet crown with two \"V. Rs.\" in monogram, two Masonic stars, and the building outlined above the first cornice with jets. Both on the front and the Pedder's-street side there were a large number of cylindrical lamps of various colours closely packed along the horizontal lines of the building. The Supreme Court also had gas illuminations-the Scales of Justice as the centre piece with a 24 feet star above and “V. R.\" in monogram on either side, and the side pillars and top cornices outlined with jets. The Hongkong Club, on the opposite side of the road, had a 9 ft. star and two 2 ft. stars in gas, with red and white lanterns outlining the building, and large lanterns hung along the verandah.\n\nMr. Humphreys had devoted great attention to the illumination of the Hongkong Dispensary, which looked remarkably well with its numerous transparencies. In the centre of the first floor verandah was a pagoda, the other openings on each side being filled up with large portraits of Her Majesty in youth and in 1887, painted by a Canton artist from engravings; On the top storey were great masses of ordinary sized Japanese lanterns, and on ground floor were lanterns with transparencies at the doorway. The d'Aguilar-street and Stanley-street frontages were decorated with lanterns in rows. Ching Choong's cigar store, next door to the Dispensary in Queen's-road, had an effective display of transparencies and lanterns, and Tarachand Thawardas & Co.'s Indian store was decorated with small oil lamps. Wassiamull Assumall's curio shop was illuminated with Japanese lanterns and a large number of small coloured lamps. Achoo's cigar store had also a good display of lanterns. Messrs. W. Powell and Co., occupying the Victoria Exchange jointly with Messrs. McEwen, Frickel and Co., had filled in the upper verandah with an elaborate design of which the centre piece was a portrait of Her Majesty. The verandah railing was covered with foliage on which were shields, \"England's Queen\" on one and \"India's Empress\" on the other. There was also a trophy of flags, and a number of lanterns. On the ground floor there were lanterns with the various ensigns painted on them. Messrs. N. Mody and Co.'s illumination attracted general admiration. Along the arches of the verandah in bold letters ran the scroll \"God bless our Empress\" worked in small gold coloured oil lamps on white ground. There was also a small portrait of the Queen and stars. On the floor above was a crown with the letters \"V. R.\", and lanterns hung between the pillars of the verandah. Over the entrance on the ground floor was a star of coloured oil lamps, and the gate was covered with foliage. Messrs. Gaupp & Co.'s store, under Messrs. N. Mody & Co.'s offices, had lanterns hung round the arches of the verandah with the Union Jack painted on them. Yee Chun, Loong Shing, Cheong Wo, and Ahoy, occupying adjoining shops, all contributed to the general display. Messrs. Falconer and Co.'s establishment, part of which is occupied on the upper floors by the China Traders' Insurance Company and the North China Insurance Company, had long rows of lanterns with the Union Jack painted on them, running along the top cornice and the verandahs, and up the sides. Messrs. Fournier and Co. had the arches of their verandah hung with lanterns.\n\nPage 540\nPage 541", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-234 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Des Voeus - 1887 [9-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 335259, "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": "CO129-234 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Des Voeus - 1887 [9-12]", "page_number": 541, "title": "CO129-234 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Des Voeus - 1887 [9-12]", "content_text": "96\n\nSun Shing had clusters of lanterns hanging in the arches, and the Medical Hall had strings of lanterns. The Pacific Mail Company's office was tastefully decorated with rows of lanterns, with the American flag and the Union Jack floating at each end, and small flags of the two nations crossed in the centre. Crossing over the street and proceeding eastwards, passing the Victoria Hotel, already described, we come to Messrs. Turner and Co.'s hong, where there was a pretty arrangement of Chinese lanterns. The China Fire Insurance Company had banners hanging from each window, and \"God bless our Queen\" worked in small oil lamps in front of the verandah. Acbee's furniture store had small coloured oil lamps along the balustrading of the verandah, and strings of Japanese lanterns. Messrs. Framjee Hormusjee & Co. had large clusters of coloured lamps hanging in each of the verandah arches, five on each floor, with stars of small coloured oil lamps on the pillars of the upper floor with spear heads of the same description of lamps on the end pillars, the whole forming a very beautiful display. Rose and Co. had a row of lanterns in front and Messrs. Wotton and Deacon a double row. Messrs. Lane, Crawford and Co.'s premises were tastefully decorated with two \"V. Rs.\" worked in flowers on the top of the porch, lanterns hanging in the porchway underneath, and clusters of lamps on the pediments.\n\nWestward of Pottinger-street one of the most striking illuminations was that of the Stag Hotel, which had a gilt framed oil painting of Her Majesty, with lamps round the arches of the verandahs of all four storeys, and a good display of lanterns on the side of the house. The Man On Insurance Co. also had an effective display, a large number of lanterns being used, many of them of unusual patterns. The Ko Shing Theatre had a \"V. R.\" in glass transparency over the door and the year \"1887.\" Lai Hing and Co. had a gaudy illumination, \"1887\" in the middle with the \"V\" on one side and \"R\" on the other. Other houses illuminated were The Land We Live In tavern, the Rose, Shamrock, and Thistle, the London Hotel, W. Peterson's boarding house, the German Tavern, and the Grand Hotel. The Fire Brigade Station had on the front face of the tower a design in small oil lamps - \"1837-1887\" in the middle, with the \"V\" and \"R\" on the right and left respectively. The Queen's-road side of the building had coloured lanterns. On Chinese establishments which had lit up we read the names of Ses Woo, tailor, Wang Hing, jeweller, Wing Hing, dealer in porcelain, Yu Chong, also dealer in porcelain, Tang Cheong, tailor, Kum Kee, Chinese shipping agent, E. Sing, printer, Fuk On, \"Agent in Sailors and Fireman,\" Yip Sang, dealer in curios, Woo Choong, compradore, Hung Shing, curio dealer, King Wo Shing, Him Wo, Ah Nam, tailor, Yee On, tailor, Yen Sing, curio dealer, Nam Hing Loong, compradore, Achan, photographer, Nam Shing, tailor, Yong Heng, dealer in Chinese goods, Aping, tailor, Ahing, tailor, Song Yuen, photographer, Sun Shing, curio dealer, whose show was considerably above the average; Wah Loong, dealer in Chinese goods, who also made a good show; Fung Hing, tailor, Teen Seng, printer, Seng Yuen, portrait painter, and Sam Hing Street, who had quite a brilliant display. Our enumeration, however, gives the names of only a small fraction of those who took part in the illumination and includes none of the large native hongs who have not their name in English on their signboard. The Chinese participation in the illumination as regards shops and houses, was very general, and in almost every street the Kai fong had done something in the way of erecting arches or sheds for the numerous entertainments and exhibitions of marionettes.\n\nGoing up Ice House Street, we noticed a square of white lanterns at the top of the Ice House, and at Afong's studio lanterns in clusters. Both Messrs. Gibb, Livingston and Co.'s and Messrs. Carlowitz and Co.'s hongs were brilliantly illuminated with rows of lanterns, and looking down Duddell-street steps the illuminations of the same houses on their other side were seen, as were the lanterns which lighted up the front of Messrs. Reiss & Co.'s premises. A fine gas illumination at Messrs. Noronha and Co's, in Zetland street, also showed up well from this neighbourhood. The design was \"Q. V., star, R. I.\" with the figures \"50\" beneath. The Masonic Hall had the square and compasses on its northern face, and the Masonic Club a similar design in red and white framed in blue lamps on the north, and on the south side the monogram V. R. in red lanterns above the entrance. Going along Albert-road the Public Offices were found in darkness, but the top of St. John's Cathedral tower was illuminated with blue lanterns and formed a conspicuous object from many points of view. St. John's Place was almost covered with lanterns, chiefly white and red, which had a most effective appearance standing out from the surrounding darkness from the few points from which they were visible.\n\nGovernment House had on its northern face the motto \"Domine salvam fac Reginam,\" illuminated by gas in globes in 4ft. letters; a 6ft. crown, two 7ft. stars, \"V. R.,\" two masonic stars, a half star of 10ft. diameter in the centre of the top cornice, two half-stars at the corners of the cornice, and a line of jets up the sides and along the top cornice; the effect of all this light artistically arranged was very fine. The other side of Government House was not illuminated, but the roadway, with numerous lanterns dotted about in the trees and on the bank of the Public Gardens and the small oil lamps running along the walls, was like a picture in fairy land. The entrance to Government House was decorated for day effect with imposing shields and trophies of flags. The Royal Artillery Mess in College Gardens was well lit up with lanterns and had a device springing from the roof.\n\nIn Stanley-street Messrs. Rozario and Co. had a gas illumination showing \"R. & Co.\" and the Oriental Dispensary, and Messrs. Dunn, Melbye & Co.'s and Mr. Brandt's establishments were illuminated with lanterns. In D'Aguilar-street Messrs. Gilman and Co. had a transparency over the door with the name of the firm and a large mass of lanterns. Messrs. Grossman and Co.'s hong was also lit up with lanterns, and amongst the occupants of Club Chambers on the opposite side of the street lanterns were hung out in profusion by Messrs. Justus Lembke & Co., Mr. Naudin, the Telephone Exchange, and the Punjom Mining Co. Messrs. Guedes and Co., at the corner of Wellington-street, had red and white lanterns on the top floor. Messrs. D. D. Oflia and Co. had lanterns arranged in the arches of the verandah and in lines below, and Mrs. Heymans, dressmaker, hung out the red ensign grouped with two French flags in the centre, and lanterns along the verandah. A large proportion of the Chinese in this street had also illuminated, amongst them Kwong Shing, contractor, Bing Shing, bootmaker, Chan Hang, printer, Yee Hing, contractor, Ling Atin, contractor, Wah Suo, picture frame maker, Hung Qua, portrait painter, who showed a specimen of his skill in a portrait of the Queen; Pow Chin, contractor, Sang Cheong, and Chee Sing, printer.\n\nIn Lower Wyndham Street the Club Germania was very tastefully illuminated with Japanese lanterns. The entrance was lined out in red and white lanterns, with one bearing the Union Jack in the centre and at the doorway the German and British flags were draped. Above was the red ensign with the German flag on each side. The remainder of the building was covered with white lanterns. The opposite buildings, occupied by Messrs. Raedecker & Co. and the China Mail, showed strings of coloured lanterns on the verandah of the upper storey, and many of the houses further up the hill were similarly decorated, one Chinese house occupied by Europeans, however, having flags and lamps stretching far across the road. The parapet of the tower of St. Paul's College was fringed with coloured lanterns, and from the summit rose a lofty cross formed by white Japanese lanterns, which from its commanding altitude was very conspicuous. Darkness reigned at the corner of D'Aguilar-street, but a very showy and well-designed arch was erected to form the entrance to Glenealy.\n\nThis was of imperial yellow picked out with leaf decorations and with green pediments. Over the archway were the words in scarlet on a blue ground \"Salve Imperatricem,\" and the face of the structure was ornamented with gilt stars and the arms of the three kingdoms on shields. Numerous coloured lanterns were suspended, and when illuminated it proved exceedingly effective. The road up Glenealy was lined throughout with various coloured lanterns, and the rockery in the centre half way up was covered with a pyramidal structure of lanterns. Mr. Bottomley's house and grounds at the foot of Glenealy were most tastefully lit up with lanterns and little glass lamps; the latter glittering among the trees had a very charming effect. Upper Wyndham Street and Hollywood Road were partially illuminated, but without any general design. Messrs. B. Mijran & Co., S. J. David & Co., Messrs. Kaw Hong Take & Co., and Messrs. Mirza Ebrahim & Co. were among the most brilliant, and further on several Parsee firms, Messrs. B. N. Mehta & Co., Tata & Co., Mehta & Co., and others, had quite a large display of lanterns in various designs.\n\n535\n\n9.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-234 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Des Voeus - 1887 [9-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 335260, "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": "CO129-234 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Des Voeus - 1887 [9-12]", "page_number": 542, "title": "CO129-234 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Des Voeus - 1887 [9-12]", "content_text": "designs. In Lyndhurst Terrace, the premises of Messrs. Belilios & Co. were gay with two gas stars, and the letters V. R. E. I., also in gas, and a display of lanterns. Messrs. H. M. M. Ally & Co. had a rather novel illumination of glass lamps with coloured lustres pendant over the door and lines of small glass lamps ranged round the building. In Peel Street Messrs. R. Habibhoy & Co. had a fine gas star, flanked on either side by the letters V. R. and a large number of Japanese lanterns tastefully arranged. On the opposite side the Parsee shopkeepers had their stores illuminated with lanterns. Mr. Stringer's premises were also illuminated with coloured lanterns. The central portion of Gage Street, which is occupied by Parsee and Indian firms—viz., Messrs. Cawasjee & Co., Tharia Topan, P. F. Tolates, A. M. Apcar, Abdoolally Ebrahim & Co., H. A. Asgar and H. Esmail on one side, and on the other by Messrs. H. H. H. Faack & Co., R. Devjes, R. S. Woonwalls & Co., B. C. Vania, and Abdulcadur Esmaljee—was decorated with lanterns on both sides, and across the street something like a network of lanterns was constructed, which formed a pleasing novelty.\n\nMany of the houses in Gage Street, Hollywood Road, and other parts, which one of the unofficial members would fain see removed outside the town, were gaily decorated, in some instances with little regard for expense.\n\nThe Central Police Station and Superintendent's quarters were lighted with coloured lanterns, and Arbuthnot Road was brilliantly illuminated. The houses of the French Consul and Dr. Stewart were gay with coloured lanterns and Mr. J. A. Carvalho and Mr. J. M. Machado showed gas stars with \"V. R.\" on either side. Remedios Terrace looked most imposing, being simply but tastefully decorated with handsome Japanese lanterns, arranged to show off its arches and proportions; this terrace was conspicuous from the water and elsewhere. \"Duart,\" the residence of Mr. A. G. Romano, Consul-General for Portugal and Consul for Brazil, was ornamented by strings of lanterns round the parapet, and festoons of the same in the arches of the verandahs, while a capital gas illumination over the entrance gate added much to the effect. This consisted of a star in the centre, \"V. R.\" on the sides, the arch being outlined by gas jets and surmounted by a large crown in gas.\n\nThe Lusitano Club displayed a gas star with \"V. R.\", and the Parsee Club a device in little glass lamps of \"V. R.\" and a crown. Several houses in Old Bailey Street and Elgin Terrace were illuminated and some in Staunton Street. The Central School had a device in gas, representing a Crown with the inscription beneath \"Vivat Regina\" and four Chinese characters three feet in height on either side. The expenses connected with the illumination of this building were defrayed by the scholars attending the school.\n\nIn Caine-road, the house of Mr. Remedios and the private house of Messrs. Russell & Co. were decorated with lanterns, the garden of \"Rose Hill\" being also illuminated. The approaches to the Italian Convent were lighted up by coloured lanterns, and the Spanish Dominican Procuration made a goodly show in lanterns, the highest portion of the premises being topped with a lofty cross formed of red lanterns, which was very prominent on that level. The American Consulate was bright with many tinted lanterns, and \"Kingsclere,\" the residence of Mr. E. R. Belilios, was gay with bunting and lanterns arranged all along the handsome and massive iron railings just erected in front of the house. The next two houses and the Police Station were both decorated with Chinese and Japanese lanterns, and Mr. J. H. Smith's residence at the junction with Castle-road was profusely covered with Chinese lanterns of different colours. The two houses beyond in Castle-road were also illuminated, and a string of parti-coloured lanterns stretched all across the upper storey of West Terrace. Mr. A. J. de Rozario displayed a complete and excellent device in gas, a crown on the top, with a star beneath, in the centre being the figures \"50,\" flanked by the letters V. R. The Japanese Consulate showed the flags of England and Japan on either side of the porch, strings and festoons of lanterns, and a transparency over the gateway with the Royal Arms and motto—\"Long life to the Queen, Prosperity to the Empire.\" At Burey Lodge, the residence of Mr. H. N. Mody, there was a profuse display of lanterns ingeniously worked into a well-considered device. In the centre a crown, with likeness of the Queen below, and underneath the words in lanterns \"Long live our Queen.\" On either side of the portico were two large bunches of lanterns on frames, and the railings in front were decorated with flags and lanterns. Forest Lodge was tastefully and neatly illuminated with lanterns, and \"Dinder\" showed up well in long lines of light around the house. The Hon. C. P. Chater's residence was illuminated by white lanterns marking out the arches of the verandahs, while rows of coloured lanterns lit up the garden. \"Craigengower,\" the residence of Dr. Carvalho, and \"Idlewild,\" the residence of Mr. W. R. Loxley, were decorated with lanterns, and the London Mission and Ball's Court in Bonham Road were also illuminated.\n\nAlong Robinson Road illuminations were partial. \"Stonehenge\" was lit up by lanterns, and some fireworks were let off from this residence. \"The Bungalow\" was decorated with flags and lanterns, and \"Rocklands,\" \"Lena Cottage,\" \"Stonehaven,\" \"The Rockeries,\" \"Fernside,\" \"Excelsior,\" \"Burnside,\" and \"Cringleford\" were all illuminated with lanterns. St. Joseph's College hoisted a red cross formed of Japanese lanterns. Only one of the houses in Belilios Terrace was lighted up, but there was quite a display in a small way in Mosque-street and Junction, most of the houses showing coloured lanterns. At his residence in Seymour Terrace Mr. Hancock displayed two fine gas stars with the monogram \"V. R.,\" and in the same terrace Mr. E. J. Coxon had strings of lanterns running up his flagstaff. \"The Castle\" was also illuminated. The houses in the Albany were most of them illuminated and \"Kurrahjeon,\" the residence of Mr. J. M. Armstrong, \"As You Like It,\" the residence of Mr. First, and the Blue Bungalows were gaily lighted by coloured lanterns. Mr. Poesnecker displayed a fine five-light gas star, and several other houses on the upper levels were illuminated, among which may be mentioned \"Harperville,\" where Mr. Bruce Shepherd had a display of lanterns. The Pavilion of the Ladies' Recreation Ground was lighted up, and a string of lanterns stretched down the different tennis courts presented a conspicuous line of light to gazers from below.\n\nPage 13\n\nThe decorations were chiefly confined to the central and western districts, the Wanchai district taking little part in them, being practically cut off from the other part of the town, where the populace congregated. The illuminations at the Barracks, however, well repaid a walk some distance to the eastward. The triumphal arch at Murray Barracks we have already mentioned. The motto on one side was \"The tribute of the nations\" and on the other \"To the Wife, Mother, Queen.\" The Officers' Mess at Murray Barracks was well lit up with lanterns showing Queen Empress on the front in large letters, and \"58,\" the number of the Regiment, on the end facing the Parade Ground. North Barracks were illuminated with red, white, and blue lanterns in strings, and the barracks recently converted from Chinese houses with white and coloured Japanese lanterns. Head-quarter House formed a very prominent feature in the illuminations with its long strings of coloured lanterns running up to the flagstaff. The Naval Yard had flags over the gateway and several anchors in gold on it, lanterns along the workshops, and lanterns in strings running from the flagstaff. The Commissariat buildings were very effectively treated. \"1837 1887\" stood out in figures of gold on a red ground, with \"God save the Queen\" in white lanterns, and transparencies under the arches. The Temperance Hall was illuminated with red and white lanterns, and Ating, the contractor, made a neat display of lanterns and transparencies. The little Police Station here also contributed its quota to the general effect. The Ordnance Store had \"V. R.\" in small white lamps, a shield with field pieces for the device, and lanterns on the face of the building and among the trees. Farther on we noticed that Man Yuen compradore's shop, the French Convent, Mr. Dorabjee Nowrojee's bakery, E-Tack, contractor, several houses occupied by Europeans, and Mr. J. S. Lucas's store were all illuminated with lanterns or glass lamps. The Government School opposite the Wanchai Market was also illuminated at the expense of the pupils, and the market had an ornamental porch erected. From the upper levels we saw several masses of light, which we took to come from Morrison Hill and the East Point Sugar Refinery; and the Hon. J. Bell-Irving's and Messrs. Jardine Matheson and Co.'s junior mess were dressed with lanterns, while the Lee Yuen Sugar Refinery had a fine triangle in lanterns.\n\nIN THE HARBOUR,\n\nThe harbour was a goodly sight to see, from whatever point beheld. The fleet of steam-launches and small craft gently gliding over its surface were nearly all decked with white or coloured lanterns.\n\nPage 536\n\n10.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-234 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Des Voeus - 1887 [9-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 335263, "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": "CO129-234 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Des Voeus - 1887 [9-12]", "page_number": 545, "title": "CO129-234 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Des Voeus - 1887 [9-12]", "content_text": "massiveness and coolness that was very agreeable. Against this Ane green background were hung shields with the V. R., \"1837\" and \"1887,\" and the Royal arms. In St. George's Hall the decorations were light, and, following the lines of the building, they heightened instead of concealing the architectural beauties of the room. At the head of the room was a portrait of Her Majesty, with flags draped at the side, and below the portrait a large mirror, also with flags, and pot plants and ferns were grouped on the floor. The pilasters on each side of this centre decoration were crossed by bands of foliage. With the exception of these two, all the pilasters in the room were covered with moss, giving the appearance of a slender tree, branches of tree ferns spreading out at the top. Above each of the windows and doorways was a trophy of flags over a small shield and a white plaque with the Queen's head stamped on it. In St. Andrew's Hall there were flags and plaques arranged in the same way and a line of evergreens ran round the windows and doorways. The stewards were--Hon. J. Bell-Irving, Mr. E. R. Belilios, Mr. C. D. Bottomley, Mr. J. S. Brewer, Hon. C. P. Chater, Mr. W. H. Darby, Mr. J. J. Francia, Mr. Ho Kai, Mr. Ho Mei, Mr. T. Jackson, Mr. Li Shing, Hon. A. P. MacEwen, Mr. H. N. Mody, Hon. J. M. Price, Mr. Wai Yuk, and Mr. E. L. Woodin.\n\nThe following were the sub-committees:-Decoration-Mr. C. Ford (Convener), Capt. Bunbury, R.A., Mr. Denison, and Dr. Preston, R.N.; Dancing-Mr. N. G. Mitchell-Innes (Convener), Major Jopp, 58th Regt, Mr. D. H. Mackintosh, and Commander Rumsey, R.N.; Supper-Mr. A. MacClymont (Convener), Mr. G. Stewart, and Mr. A. Turner; Hon. Secretary, Mr. J. H. Stewart-Lockhart.\n\nINCIDENTS OF THE CELEBRATION. The Chinese hotel keepers have been reaping a rich harvest during this week. We hear that as much as $10 a night has been charged for a small room, larger ones commanding proportionately higher prices. This is for the room alone, exclusive of board. It is computed that there have been from eighty to ninety thousand visitors in the colony, who have spent altogether no less than $800,000.\n\nOne of the most remarkable things about the Jubilee celebration has been the very small amount of crime that has occurred while the colony has been so crowded with visitors. This is the more remarkable as it was known that a large number of bad characters had come to the colony in hope of being able to reap a rich harvest. That things turned out so differently from what might have been expected is partly explained by a very ingenious device hit on by some Chinese gentlemen. This was the putting into actual practice of the saying \"Set a thief to catch a thief.\" A large number of the suspected bad characters were engaged at the rate of $2 a day, given a small distinguishing badge, and sent into the crowd to look out for thieves and generally assist in preserving order. They faithfully performed their task and were so pleased with the arrangement that afterwards they got up a small procession of their own with part of the money they received. No doubt they would be willing to be honest all their lives if they could regularly earn $2 a day under such congenial circumstances as are afforded by a grand Chinese procession. The Government of course had no official cognizance of the arrangement to which we have referred.\n\n539\n\n7", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-234 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Des Voeus - 1887 [9-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 335346, "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": "CO129-234 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Des Voeus - 1887 [9-12]", "page_number": 628, "title": "CO129-234 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Des Voeus - 1887 [9-12]", "content_text": "No. 18.\n\nEnclosure 2.\n\nREPORT OF PROCEEDINGS\n\nOF THE\n\nFINANCE COMMITTEE,\n\nAT A MEETING HELD IN THE COUNCIL CHAMBER, HONGKONG,\n\nOn the 19th November, 1887.\n\n621\n\nPRESENT:\n\nThe Honourable the Colonial Secretary (FREDERICK STEWART), Chairman.\n\nThe Honourable the Acting Attorney General, (EDWARD JAMES ACKROYD).\n\nThe Colonial Treasurer, (ALFRED LISTER).\n\nThe Surveyor General, (JOHN MACNEILE PRICE).\n\nWONG SHING.\n\nHENRY GEORGE THOMSETT, R.N,\n\nCATCHICK PAUL CHATER, (vice the Honourable FREDERICK DAVID SASSOON,\n\non leave).\n\nALEXANDER PALMER MACEWEN.\n\nJOHN BELL-IRVING.\n\nABSENT:\n\nHis Honour the Acting Chief Justice (JAMES RUSSELL), vice His Honour SIR GEORGE\n\nPHILLIPPO, Knt., on leave.\n\nThe Honourable PNEAS RYRIE, on leave.\n\nThe Committee meet this day at the request of the Colonial Secretary.\n\nThe Report of the proceedings of the last Meeting, held on the 19th September last, having been taken as read, is confirmed.\n\n(1.)\n\nSupplementary Estimates, 1886.\n\nThe Committee consider the Bill to authorize the appropriation of a supplementary sum of $392,462.30 to defray the charges for the year 1886.\n\nAfter explanation by the Colonial Secretary of the various items stated in detail in the Supplementary Estimates for 1886, the Committee recommend that the amount mentioned in the Bill be approved.\n\nThe Committee desire, however, to call attention to the advisability of obtaining from the Military Authorities a detailed statement of the amounts expended for fortifications (See item Extraordinary Military Defence at page 6 of the Supplementary Estimates for 1886).\n\n(2.)

Next to the approval of his sovereign, a soldier values the esteem of his fellow countrymen, and it is very encouraging to find that \n\n## Page 207", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-236 - Others - 1887.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 336279, "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": "CO129-236 - Others - 1887", "page_number": 364, "title": "CO129-236 - Others - 1887", "content_text": "## Enclosure 7\n\nand all costs of prosperity.\n\n(Richard)\n\n2.

P. Ryrie-That is the furniture.\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY-I need hardly say that I have not permitted this matter to come before the Council without having given it very careful consideration. I have given full weight to the arguments which have been urged by Mr. Chater and supported by Mr. Bell-Irving, but I frankly confess at once the reasons on the other side appear too strong to justify me in giving way. The hon. the Treasurer has already anticipated the greater part of what I should otherwise have felt inclined to say on the subject. The same arguments which are used by the hon. members apply with very much greater force in many other places where machinery is in existence. Nobody can say that an increase in population is more necessary to Hong Kong than it is to a great many other places in the world where machinery is taxed like other things. If there is any difference, I should say it is less necessary. The more population we are able to provide for, no doubt the better, but the necessity for greater population is, if anything, less great here than in many other places. I really do not see why machinery which, at all events for the most part, is earning large profits, should be exempt from the taxation to which all other kinds of property are subject. Recollect, you have cut off from yourselves, and very rightly, what is the principal source of revenue in most other colonies, namely, import duties. The effect of doing that and our thus having a free port is no doubt one of the principal reasons of our prosperity. But recollect that by doing this, you create a greater necessity for the existence of other forms of taxation. If you whittle away the sources of taxation, as they have been whittled away in one way or another in this Colony, you will gradually have nothing to go upon at all, and I confess that while giving the fullest weight to what the hon. members have said, I cannot see why the same arguments that are used with regard to machinery should not apply to many other things which nobody doubts are proper subjects for taxation. I may say with regard to this that as a matter of fact, at the end of this year, not a single proprietor of machinery will pay any more than at present. In the absence of force majeure or some unforeseen necessity for increased expenditure, which there is certainly no reason to anticipate at present, I have not the least doubt whatever that I shall be able to propose a considerable reduction of the rating in connection with the next estimates; and I have still less doubt that if the Secretary of State sanctions the principle of a loan for reproductive works, that reduction will be equal to three per cent, and bring the taxation down to what it was in the past, and what the hon. member (Hon. A. P. MacEwen) the other day mentioned as his idea of what it should be. (Hear, hear). That being the case, I believe that the increase of taxation to the owners of machinery, which, if you come to calculate it, will under any circumstances be a very trifling one, will in the majority of cases be absolutely nothing at all. I really do not feel justified in passing a law dealing with the rating of the Colony in making an exception which is really an exception in favour of the richer classes. It really means, when you come to consider it, an exception which favours the richer people of the colony at the expense of the poorer. Taking into consideration that really there will be no substantial burden created by it, I feel bound to give my support to the view which is expressed in the clause as printed here.\n\nHon. P. Ryrie-If the tax is so very trifling, why impose it and irritate the people by it?\n\nHis EXCELLENCY-There is such a thing as principle, Mr. Ryrie.\n\nHon. P. Ryrie-I don't see the principle of it at all.\n\nThe COLONIAL TREASURER-After what has fallen from your Excellency, I don't know whether the hon. member would desire to press his motion to a division.\n\nHon. C. P. Chater-I do. I beg to propose the amendment.\n\nA division was then taken on the amendment, which resulted as follows:\n\n| FOR | AGAINST |\n| --- | --- |\n| Hon. C. P. Chater | Hon. Wong Shing |\n| Hon. J. Bell-Irving | The Captain Superintendent of Police |\n| Hon. A. P. MacEwen | The Surveyor General |\n| Hon. P. Ryrie | The Colonial Treasurer |\n| | The Attorney-General |\n| | The Colonial Secretary |\n| | The Acting Chief Justice |\n\nThe amendment was therefore lost by a majority of three, and the definition was passed as it stood in the Bill.\n\nThe CAPTAIN SUPERINTENDENT of POLICE said with reference to \"tenement building\" that he could not find the expression in the Ordinance at all.\n\nThe COLONIAL TREASURER-I don't think it is necessary it should occur in the Ordinance. It meets all the objects here.\n\nThe CAPTAIN SUPERINTENDENT of POLICE-Then you define an expression that is not in the Ordinance.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY-I think that kind of objection had better come from the legal members, Mr. Deane.\n\nThe definition was then passed. \"Victoria Peak\" as the name of a district was altered to the \"Hill district.\"\n\nOn Section 29, providing that on the valuation of piers a total charge of 7 per cent should be payable, Hon. A. P. MacEwen said-I have no doubt, sir, you are well aware there is a strong objection to this clause, at any rate my hon. friend on the right (the Treasurer) is. The argument is that a pier is simply an accessory to a godown, on which you already get thirteen per cent. Another thing is that the life of a pier is much shorter than that of a house; it is continually requiring repair, and the owners are put to considerable annual expenditure on that account. A gentleman said to me to-day that he derives £1,000 a year from his godown, on which he pays the Government £130, which is a very considerable amount, and \"now,\" he says, \"you are going to tax me in addition for my pier; my godowns are useless to me without my pier.\" It appears to me that the object of this Ordinance is to rate buildings and not to go inside them to rate machinery, as you did just now, nor outside, as here, to rate piers. I beg to call your Excellency's attention to this. I think the section is one which requires consideration, and I move that it be postponed.\n\nHon. J. Bell-Irving-I beg to second that.\n\nHon. P. Ryrie-A pier pays ground rent.\n\nThe COLONIAL TREASURER-I think piers have been treated with extreme liberality in lowering the charge on them to a certain extent. The piers in Victoria are paying rates at thirteen per cent, so they get a reduction of nearly one half by this clause. I entirely fail to see why A, who has a godown and no pier, is to be taxed and not B, who has a pier and no godown. There are many piers not connected with godowns. There are piers in the hands of Chinese, who work that as a speculation. This is not an invention; it is part of the old Ordinance, which has been in force here for twenty years. For some unaccountable reason, it was allowed to slumber, and piers were only rated two or three years ago, I think. At any rate, piers in Victoria have been rated for two or three years, paying at the rate of thirteen per cent, and as I said the other day, it was pointed out to me they ought not to be rated more highly than the piers at Kowloon; therefore, I propose a uniform charge of seven per cent, but I cannot recommend them to be entirely exempt.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY-I regret to say that I really fail to see in the arguments of hon. Mr. MacEwen sufficient to induce me to support his amendment. It appears to me that he ignores what the hon. Treasurer brought forward, that there are cases of piers that are not in connection with godowns; and even when they are, it is quite clear that the addition of a pier must add to the value of the godown, and therefore the same reason which would apply to the exemption of a pier would apply to the exemption of a godown. There is no more reason why the one should be exempt than the other. There seems as much reason why the piers should be taxed and not the godowns, as the godowns and not the piers. That is the way the matter presents itself to me, having already fully considered the matter, but being at the same time open, as I hope I always shall be, to arguments brought forward in Council that tend to override my views. Yet the arguments of the hon. member are not such as to induce me to change my view. Does the hon. member wish to press his motion under the circumstances, and in view of the fact that I think he has omitted to remember that piers in connection with godowns are not the only ones?\n\nHon. A. P. MacEwen-There may be cases where piers are not attached to godowns, still I think you will find the bulk of piers in the colony are attached to godowns.\n\nPage 394", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-237 - Governor Des Voeus Acting Governor Stewart - 1888 [1-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 336685, "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": "CO129-237 - Governor Des Voeus Acting Governor Stewart - 1888 [1-6]", "page_number": 401, "title": "CO129-237 - Governor Des Voeus Acting Governor Stewart - 1888 [1-6]", "content_text": "## Council Proceedings\n\nThe discussion centered around the taxation of certain establishments within the colony. \n\n**wealthier sections** of the community, in this colony, should escape, while similar places in the adjacent settlement find themselves under the necessity of paying for their policies. I don't think the point **adraits** of argument for a moment. Hon. J. BELL-IRVING - The Race Club at Shanghai is outside the settlement and pays no taxes. The Country Club is just the same as the Club here.\n\nThe COLONIAL TREASURER - Then should the Club here not pay?\n\nHis EXCELLENCY - Does the hon. member press his amendment?\n\nHon. J. BELL-IRVING — Yes.\n\nThe COLONIAL TREASURER - I should like to say that up to this time the town has been honeycombed with exemptions. Anybody's house that had the slightest exceptional circumstance about it, if it was not used for an office or godown, the owner thought it ought to be exempted. A great many exemptions still exist, and applications are continually being made.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY - Let me appeal to the hon. members. Is it really just that whereas every poor man is taxed for his house, which is necessary for his living, places of resort of the richer members of the community should be exempt? I confess I think if there was one place more than another that ought to be taxed, it is a pure place of luxury, such as a recreation ground confined to a very small class. I think if the hon. members think of it they will hardly press an objection which does not have the appearance of an impartial view of the general interests.\n\nHon. J. BELL-IRVING - I think it very unfair our sports should be taxed. We make no profit from them, and they are necessary to health. I think the Colony must be very hard up when it comes to that.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY - But what I say is this, the injustice to others. The Colony must be hard up if it requires a tax on the house of a poor man just able to support life. If you carry out the same idea you will see it leads to most lamentable results. There would be no revenue at all.\n\nThe ATTORNEY-GENERAL - I won't ask to be allowed to say a few words on this question, and to point out that there is a principle which supports the arguments of the Colonial Treasurer. I can understand the opposition to the taxing of these various places, which has been raised by my hon. friend, who represents the views of those interested in recreation, but I submit that that opposition and the arguments by which it is supported have been very fully met and in the fairest possible manner by the hon. Treasurer, who has pointed out that properties of this kind are not exempt from taxation at home. Now, I think that shifts the onus to those who object, and calls on them to show on what ground such places should be exempted here when they are not exempted on the principles recognised as the fair principles for the distribution of taxation at home. And I would remind the Council that we have a high duty to perform with reference to a very large population which cannot be and is not intended to be directly represented on this Council. They are not here to speak by their representatives, mainly because it is understood the sense of responsibility that will guide us will lead this Council to deal with absolute justice, more justice than could perhaps be expected if they were here to speak for themselves. I think, therefore, some sense of generosity, as well as justice, should guide the Council.\n\nHon. J. BELL-IRVING - I would only answer that I think most race-courses I am acquainted with bring in a revenue to the owners. The stands are let and they take gate money.\n\nThe COLONIAL TREASURER - I would point out to the hon. member that the valuation of the race-course here would be almost nominal, on the principle I have enunciated of a hypothetical tenant. You cannot imagine any tenant giving very much rent for either of the Grand Stands. I believe the Race Club here is one of the few institutions that has got some money and is not in a hopeless state of bankruptcy, but you couldn't expect anyone to give a high rent, and the sum involved is really not worth disputing about. I would also point out that the only places of free recreation, the rifle ranges, have been exempted.\n\nHon. A. P. MACEWEN - I wish to state that if my hon. friend opposite (Hon. J. Bell-Irving) intends to press the amendment, I shall vote against it, and the reason is that I think the arguments of the Treasurer so strong against it, that these places are not open to the public. For the reason that you can object to any person joining them I don't look upon them as public institutions.\n\nThe amendment was then put and lost, only the Hon. C. P. Chater and Hon. J. Bell-Irving voting for it, and all the other members, with the exception of Hon. Wong Shing, who remained neutral, voting against it. Hon. P. Ryrie had left before the division was taken.\n\n## Section 42 and Further Discussions\n\nIn Section 42, providing for penalties, the COLONIAL TREASURER proposed an addition to the effect that proceedings might be taken, even though more than six months should have elapsed since the commission of the offence.\n\nA discussion ensued, in the course of which it appeared that the reason of the proposed addition was that according to the law defining the powers of magistrates, proceedings in the cases of offences punishable on summary conviction must be instituted within six months.\n\nThe COLONIAL TREASURER said that false returns were frequently discovered more than six months after they were made, and it was thought desirable that the prosecution should not fail on that ground.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY said he thought it would be rather a lamentable thing if some grave fraud was discovered that the committer should escape simply because it was not discovered within six months.\n\nAfter some further discussion, the term of two years was inserted in the section as the limit of time within which a prosecution must be instituted.\n\nThe COLONIAL TREASURER moved the insertion of a new clause giving the Governor in Council power to declare any district contiguous to the City of Victoria to be a part of the City for the purposes of taxation. This, he said, was to provide for the extension of the City and that new districts might be brought in.\n\nThe CAPTAIN-SUPERINTENDENT of POLICE said he thought it would be well to extend the provision so that it should apply to such places as Yanmati, which might increase so largely as to require the same police rate as Victoria.\n\nThe COLONIAL TREASURER said that on consideration he thought the amendment was not necessary because a resolution of the Legislative Council under the section giving it power to fix the rate could at any time put the matter right.\n\nSeveral slight alterations were made in the schedules attached to the Bill as to the form in which information concerning machinery and piers was to be given, but no question of principle was affected.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY said he proposed to leave the Bill in Committee so that it might be printed again with the amendments, and at the next meeting there would be an opportunity of making any corrections that might be found necessary.\n\nPage 395", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-237 - Governor Des Voeus Acting Governor Stewart - 1888 [1-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 336696, "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": "CO129-237 - Governor Des Voeus Acting Governor Stewart - 1888 [1-6]", "page_number": 412, "title": "CO129-237 - Governor Des Voeus Acting Governor Stewart - 1888 [1-6]", "content_text": "Government had this already.\n\n12.\n\nAt the suggestion of the Chinese Member of Council, Mr. Wong Shing, a clause was added to the Ordinance permitting the creation of buildings of Chinese type in the European District, when satisfaction is given that they are intended for a useful public purpose.\n\n13.\n\nThe usual report of the Attorney-General is enclosed.\n\nI have the honour to be,\nMy Lord,\nYour Lordship's Most Obedient\nHumble Servant,\n\n### Page 406\n\nEnclosure 3, 4th May 1888.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-237 - Governor Des Voeus Acting Governor Stewart - 1888 [1-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 337026, "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": "CO129-238 - Governor Des Voeus - 1888 [7-8]", "page_number": 57, "title": "CO129-238 - Governor Des Voeus - 1888 [7-8]", "content_text": "# and in Appendix A\n\nin his presence: I quote a copy of Testimonial in 1880 from the Master of S.

Since entering the local Civil Service, I have zealously applied myself to the study of Chinese literature and colloquially, although such study was not specified as part of my duties as per the agreement which I entered into before leaving England. I have satisfactorily passed four of the examinations prescribed in the higher standard of such work; my fifth examination is due in March 1886.\n\nIn the School year to March 1887, after fifteen months' study of Chinese, I had charge of Class II in Chinese translation. In March 1887, I had Class I with Chio Hok. From 6 March 1888, I had Class II with this Htet NP2; during the current school year to March 1889, I have charge of the upper division of Class I. The above work, together with the four certificates from the local Board of Examiners in Chinese studies, sufficiently attest the standard of proficiency reached during the 3½ years I have been attached to this Service.\n\nI would also beg to draw your Lordship's attention to the significant fact that I have, at no inconsiderable monetary sacrifice and self-denial, consistently refused tuitional work outside my duties to undertake...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-238 - Governor Des Voeus - 1888 [7-8].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 337495, "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": "CO129-238 - Governor Des Voeus - 1888 [7-8]", "page_number": 526, "title": "CO129-238 - Governor Des Voeus - 1888 [7-8]", "content_text": "## FIRES AND ALARMS DURING THE YEAR 1887\n\n| No. | DATE. | TIME. | SITUATION OF FIRE. | No. of BUILDING DESTROYED, | DAMAGE. | CAUSE. | REMARKS. |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 1 | Jan. 2 | 12 Midnight | A wooden hut in Garden Lane, | | Trifling | Unknown. | |\n| 2 | 3, 4 | 3, 43 | Grass on the hill-side at Mount Davis, | | Do. | Do. | |\n| 3 | 4, 8 | 37 | Grass on the hill-side above Kennedy Road, | | $10 | Do. | |\n| 4 | 5, 9 | 94 p.m. | A stack of grass at No. 207, Shaukiwan, | | $100 | Trifling | |\n| 5 | 6, 12 | 1 a.m. | A partition on the ground floor of house No. 199, Hollywood Road. | 1 | $1,400 | Incendiary. | |\n| 6 | 7, 12 | 12.15 a.m. | House No. 16, Sai Woo Lane, top floor, | | Trifling | Ignited by the burning husks. | |\n| 7 | 8, 13 | 4.50 a.m. | Some clothing in No. 39, Tank Lane, | | Do. | Accidental while cooking. | |\n| 8 | 9, 13 | 9.30 p.m. | A straw shed at the back of No. 146, Third Street, | | $14,000 | Upsetting of a kerosine lamp on a quantity of hemp bags. | |\n| 9 | 10, 14 | 9.30 a.m. | No. 142, Second Street, ground floor, | | Trifling | Unknown. | |\n| 10 | 11, 14 | 4 p.m. | The verandah of No. 115, Queen's Road West, | | None | Do. | |\n| 11 | 12, 15 | 5 a.m. | Gallery of the Ko Shing Theatre, | | $23,000 | Capsizing of a kerosine lamp on a quantity of paper, straw and shavings. | |\n| 12 | 13, 15 | 9 p.m. | No. 48, Queen's Road West, cock-loft, ground floor, | | None | Incendiary. | A large number of young trees were destroyed. |\n| 13 | 14, 16 | 3 | A quantity of mattings at the back entrance of No. 215, Queen's Road East. | | $2 | Accidental. | |\n| 14 | 15, 16 | 7 | A mosquito curtain at No. 172, Wellington Street, | | Trifling | Unknown | |\n| 15 | 16, 17 | 9 a.m. | Some papers and old baskets at No. 230, Queen's Rd.

The foki I sent up came down again and said that the defendant had been searching everywhere, and that someone had robbed him of his woman. I told the foki to go up and ask him to come down to the shop. When he came down, my master was in the shop. He said that he would have to take the foki he followed upstairs to the Police Station. He said that the foki had taken away his wife. A man called LOU YUN CHIN, the master of the shop told the foki to go with the constable. He told me to follow them. When we got to the Station, the Inspector did not ask us long questions, but told defendant to take the foki to the Registrar General's office. Defendant stopped me from going. He and another man chased me away.\n\nBy Mr. WOTTON-My name is LE KWANG CHEE. I manage the shop, and buy and sell for the firm. I am Manager. I am the complainant in this case, not a witness. I bring this charge because the complainant searched my premises without just cause or reason. He did not strike me. He did not break open any doors, or go into any private apartments. The proper name of the foki that was struck is LEUNG PING. He has two wives. None of my fokis' families live upstairs in the shop. I am not the owner of the shop. Three or four of us have shares. LO AMEN, Ta Tun-street, Canton, owns a share. ÚNG KWONG TAI, in the same street, also owns a share. I have a share. I was in the shop all the time that defendant was there. A foki named CHOW FOOK was also there the whole time. When defendant came to the shop he said something to me. I do not know what he said. He spoke in the English language. Nobody in the shop understood him. LOU YUN SHING was not in the shop till defendant came down from upstairs. I did not hear the owner of the shop talking to a Police Constable. I saw them speaking to each other. The Chinese constable now in court was at the shop that day. I did not speak to him. The stout boy, who is in the shop was not struck. I will swear that up till now I did not know why the constables came to my shop. None of them told me that when they came to the shop. The other witnesses do not know what I was going to say to-day. They cannot make any more charges than I have made. There is nothing else to say. To the Court--I did not see defendant searching anywhere. The defendant went upstairs before the Chinese constable. He did not give any reason for coming to our shop.\n\nMr. WOTTON said that, seeing that the last witness was the complainant and that no other charge than the one preferred by him could be brought forward against his client, the case was clearly one for a Civil Court, as the matter was purely one of trespass without any violence whatever, and he would prove that the trespass was justified under the circumstances. The proper course was for the complainant to sue for damages.\n\nThe Bench desired to hear the evidence. LEUNG KING said-On the 24th July, at twelve noon, I was making up some bills at the counter, when the defendant entered the shop with two Chinese constables. He came up to me and, without saying anything, gave me a blow, which I dodged. He tried to hit me again, and I went upstairs. He ran after me with a Chinese constable. They searched the first and second floors of our premises. I asked them what they were searching for, and the defendant said that I had taken away his wife and hidden her in the house. I denied this. Defendant asked me to go to the Station with him.\n\nBy Mr. WOTTON-I don't know Sun Wi Lane. I have lived in Hongkong about a year. I do not know defendant's reason for accusing me of stealing his wife. I will swear that I have never been into any house in Sun Wi Lane. I have never heard of a woman called A-PAT. I never saw that name in writing. I have never been out of our shop between nine and eleven in the morning for the last fortnight. I never saw defendant before he came to our shop. I have not a concubine in Hongkong. I have two wives. Neither of them is here. I have never visited a woman in Hongkong since last April.\n\nTo the Court-Defendant was two or three feet away from me when he hit at me. He aimed at my face. I was behind the counter.\n\nThis was the case for the prosecution. Mr. WOTTON then said that the true facts of the case were that the defendant's wife was missing, and that she had with her his property, over $1,600 in value. He had had reasonable cause to suspect the last witness of having got hold of her, and therefore in company with two other constables went to the shop to see. They made no disturbance, but simply stated the reason of their visit. He (Mr. WOTTON) was appearing on behalf of the defence not so much for the case, which was palpably a made-up affair, but in order to defend the character of his client. He had been in Police Force for nearly seventeen years without a stain on his character.\n\nThe witnesses for the defence were then called. WONG AFAT, P.C. 170, declared-I am a Police constable doing detective duty. I have been in the Force for fourteen years and six months. I have known defendant upwards of ten years. I know his wife's name. It is A-PAT. When she lived with him she lived in Sun Wi Lane. I lived on the first floor of the house she lived in. I have seen last witness before. He is called the stout lad. I remember when defendant found that A-PAT had disappeared that he told me something. In consequence of what he told me, I made enquiries about her. In consequence of information received, I went to the shop with defendant and P.C. 183. There I saw the stout lad. This was on the 24th July. I had reason to believe that A-PAT was in that house. In going into the shop, a woman, called NAN SO, led us.\n\nOn entering the door we saw several people there. When the fat boy, who was behind a counter on the ground floor, saw us, he ran upstairs as fast as he could. When he did this the defendant was at the door of the shop.

It is even unknown to the Chief Justice. If such an occurrence is found to be correct, it is quite contrary to what is the intention of Her Majesty's Government, and I think it is only right that the case should be put forward. The intention of Her Majesty's Government is clearly set forth in a despatch of Lord Rosebery to the German Minister at the English Court, in which the Agents of the Companies are requested to give all facilities to Custom House officers and officers of the law and not to exercise their privileges to defeat public justice or right. With regard to this case, I should like to hear what the French or German Consul has to give as his reason for refusing. It seems to me to affect the conduct of the Consul, whoever he was. I have yet to hear of any real or practical detriment suffered by the theoretical preference given to those ships. Of course, if this case is true, and if the Consul who so acted is supported by his own Government, it will furnish a fact, and a very strong fact. If it is established that the Consul knew that the officer was a bailiff of the Court, the fact of his being there contrary to instructions would hardly affect the case, because, if the facts are true, it is not likely the Consul knew that. If this fact is established, it is a case at point, but it is the very first which I have heard which gives any practical point to the theoretical preference. Of course, the law says these steamers are to be considered as men-of-war, but the question is what does this really amount to, and is the inconvenience actually suffered such as to outweigh the ill-feeling that would be caused between two great powers by withdrawing these privileges? That is the question. Of course, it is a strong case that the Australians have never passed such measures.\n\nIf that is the case, it is a point you can urge with some force that what they will not do, this Colony is compelled to. I think in forwarding these objections to the Secretary of State, it would be as well to mention some actual and practical loss that has been suffered by other steamers from this so-called immunity conferred by law. If they are to be subject to the ordinary process of the Court, the so-called immunity is worth little or nothing.\n\nThe **COLONIAL SECRETARY**-Surely the hon. member can get the time, name, and place in an important case of the kind he mentions.\n\nHon. P. RYRIE-I heard it casually this morning. I do not know when it happened. Has it not been reported to the Government?\n\nThe **COLONIAL SECRETARY**-Certainly not; I heard nothing of it till you mentioned it.\n\nHon. J. BELL-IRVING-I think the original privileges were only granted to Government packets, not to private ships carrying cargo.\n\nHon. P. RYRIE moved that the Bill be not read a second time at the present meeting.\n\nHis **EXCELLENCY**-As I have said before, I have no option in the matter. I have received no fresh instructions, and acting under the old ones, I am bound as part of my duty to do my utmost to pass these Bills.\n\nThe question that the Bills be read a second time was then put, and a division taken with the following result:-\n\n| AYES | NOES |\n| --- | --- |\n| The Capt. Supt. of Police | Hon. H. Tayton |\n| The Surveyor-General | Hon. J. Bell-Irving |\n| The Colonial Treasurer | Hon. Wong Shing |\n| The Attorney-General | Hon. P.

It was said that that sort of thing collected officially and sent home would assist merchants to know what was wanted. The **COLONIAL SECRETARY** - It was pointed out as the difference between the German Consuls and the British Consuls, and it was thought the latter might follow the example of the former.\n\nHon. J. BELL-IRVING - Our Minister in Peking might think it infra dig. to assist.\n\nHon. P. RYRIE said he must confess that he did not see any use in the Institution.\n\nIt was usually agreed to learn what other Colonies were subscribing and subscribe accordingly.\n\n## A TOWN BAND\n\nThe **CHAIRMAN** said the next question was the question of providing a town band. This matter had been under consideration for some time. It was thought that we should have a band of our own. It was not settled whether it should be attached to the Police or to the Volunteers. Hon. W. M. DEANE said the Police Force had a band, but in 1862, when the Volunteers were formed, it was transferred to them, and they had never heard of it since.\n\nThe **ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE** asked what the cost would be.\n\nThe **CHAIRMAN** said $1,800 for the bandsmen and $300 incidental expenses. He then explained that it was proposed to engage Manila men for five years. There would be twelve men and a band-master.\n\nHon. B. LAYTON did not think the amount estimated was sufficient for a good band.\n\nThe **CHAIRMAN** - And of course a bad band would be worse than none at all.\n\nHon. P. RYRIE was opposed to having a band. He thought it was a slur on the military, who had always been ready to oblige whenever requested. He did not see that there was any necessity for a town band.\n\nHon. J. BELL-IRVING said they must remember that every year the calls on the military were getting more numerous.\n\nHon. P. RYRIE said so far they had never omitted to respond to the call.\n\nThe **ATTORNEY-GENERAL** said they must remember that the European population of the Colony was small compared with the Chinese, and the Chinese did not appreciate English music as a rule.\n\nHon. P. RYRIE - No, but they appreciate Scotch music.\n\nThe **ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE** - Perhaps Mr. Wong Shing could inform us whether the Chinese would appreciate the band if there are bagpipes. (Laughter).\n\nThe **CHAIRMAN** said they had also to decide if they were in favour of the band whether it should be attached to the Volunteers or the Police.\n\nHon. W. M. DEANE suggested that it would be more convenient to have it attached to the Police.\n\nHon. B. LAYTON - Why not attach it to the Sanitary Board? (Laughter).\n\nThe **CHAIRMAN** said of course if attached to the Police it would not be for the benefit of the Force alone. It was quite understood that it was to be a town band.\n\nThe **ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE** questioned whether the amount put down in the Estimates was not too low to procure the services of a good band, and it was finally agreed to place the sum at $3,000.\n\nof the Committee to recommend the Estimates to the Legislative Council.\n\nThe members signified their assent.\n\nHon. P. RYRIE said he presumed their vote did not debar any member from discussing any of the items in the Estimates when they were laid before the Council.\n\nThe **CHAIRMAN** - Certainly not.

The Colonial Secretary (**Hon. F. Stewart**) presided, and there were also present—**Hon. E. L. O'Malley**, Attorney-General; **Hon. H. E. Wodehouse**, Acting Colonial Treasurer; **Hon. W. M. Deane**, Captain Superintendent of Police; **Hon. P. Ryrie**, **Hon. Wong Shing**, **Hon. J. Bell-Irving**, **Hon. B. Layton**, and **Mr. A. Seth**, Clerk of Councils.\n\n## SUPPLEMENTARY ESTIMATES FOR 1887\n\nThe **CHAIRMAN**—I suppose the Committee will deal with the Supplementary Estimates for 1887 first. The sums provided in 1887 amounted to $2,005,030, and the sums expended during 1887 to $2,023,002.06. This gives an excess of expenditure of $17,568.06. The amount to be voted, however, is $194,468. The reason for the difference is that we cannot make use of any of the balances that have accrued to the Treasury from certain specific works. Turning to the establishments, we find an increase of $2,495 for the Governor, due to the difference in exchange in salaries drawn in England at 4s. 2d. The amounts for the Treasury come to $1,096.54, of which all the items except the last two, drawing instruments, law books, and certain contingencies, which could not be foreseen, have already been voted by the Legislative Council. Then in the Surveyor-General's Department, there is an increase of $2,959.36. All the items came before the Finance Committee and were approved by the Legislative Council. In the Postmaster-General's Department, the first item has already been approved by the Finance Committee. The item of $300 for arrears of Post Office Agent at Hankow is due to some difficulty about the office. The Postmaster did not seem to be doing his work to the satisfaction of the Postmaster-General, and the result was that the salary was not paid until the Postmaster-General was satisfied that everything was right. There is $629 for contingencies for new postage stamps, &c., which could not be ascertained when the estimates were sent in. In the Harbour Department, the excess is $2,408.84. This is all for items which had to be paid in consequence of the establishment of the Superintendency of Imports and Exports in connection with the registration of opium. For the Observatory, there is one item of $300 for a telegraph line and another of $702 for instruments, books, &c., which could only be ascertained when they were received. The excess in the Judicial was due to the salary of the Chief Justice and the Attorney-General being paid in England. The excess in the Ecclesiastical was due to the same cause. In the Medical Department, there is an item already approved by the Legislative Council, $325, for repairs to the Health Officer's steam launch. In the Gaol, there is a small increase according to agreement in the salary of the Assistant Warder and an increase of $556 caused by difference in exchange in the salary of the Superintendent paid in England. In the Fire Brigade, there are some salaries not yet provided for.\n\nWe now pass on to the services exclusive of establishments. There is an item for rent to a temporary Inspector of Nuisances, which has already been provided for. In the Civil Hospital, there is an increase of $2,906 for provisions, medicine, instruments, washing, &c. These have not yet been before the Council, and the amounts could not be ascertained in full till the end of the year. The reason for the increase is owing to the increase in the number of patients. There is a small increase in the Lunatic Asylum and Smallpox Hospital, which could not have been foreseen. Then there is the Police Magistrate's Department. There is an item of $165 for post-mortem examinations owing to the increased numbers of cases. There was also a sum of $10,810 for passages, arms, bedding, &c., which could not have been foreseen. The items for works and buildings have all been before Council and have been approved except the last item. Then we come to Roads, Streets, and Bridges, $4,000, which has been approved by the Council, and $1,500 for land and houses purchased, also by Council. In the Miscellaneous Services, the first four items have been approved by Council. The others could not be foreseen. There is $2,120 for expenses of Law Revision Commission, $1,044 for temporary Land Surveyor, $497 for Report on proposed steam tramways, $5,317 for scavenging the city and villages, and $3,072 for loss of exchange in family remittances.\n\n**Hon. J. BELL-IRVING**—What is this item—Report on proposed steam tramway, $497?\n\nThe **CHAIRMAN**—It was obtained when the question of reclamation was being considered and especially in connection with Causeway Bay. The question arose of how best to join the two portions of the town, and a report was asked to be made by some person at home as to how it would be best to secure steam tramway communication between the two parts of the town. It may be of use some day, although it is not at present, and it was thought well to have information on the subject.\n\n**Hon. B. LAYTON** asked how the item for expenses of the Law Revision Committee was made up.\n\nThe **CHAIRMAN** said there was $120 a month for the Secretary and $30 for a clerk.\n\n**Hon. B. LAYTON** asked if the results of the Commission had ever been published?\n\nThe **CHAIRMAN** said a great number of the Ordinances passed last session were sent up by the Law Revision Commission, and he believed the Attorney-General had a large number in his hands at present which had been sent in by the Commission.\n\n**Hon. B. LAYTON**—Are the labours of the Commission still going on?\n\nThe **CHAIRMAN**—Yes.\n\n**Hon. P. RYRIE**—Who is the Secretary?\n\nThe **CHAIRMAN**—Mr. Leach, and I may add that his knowledge of the law has been of immense assistance to the Commission.\n\n**Hon. W. M. DEANE** suggested that the item \"loss in exchange on family remittances\" should be stated as \"equalisation of exchange.\"\n\n**Hon. B. LAYTON**—It is a loss to the colony.\n\n**Hon. W. M. DEANE**—It is not a loss in exchange. The item occurs because the salaries have to be paid at the rate of 4s. 2d. as agreed.\n\n**Hon. B. LAYTON**—Well, that is a loss to the colony, and has to be made up because Government servants are paid at an arbitrary rate.\n\nPassing on to extraordinary expenditure, the **CHAIRMAN** said with regard to the Tytam Water Works, the sum voted was $150,000 and the expenditure $230,811.\n\n**Hon. B. LAYTON** asked if any account would be given of this expenditure.\n\nThe **CHAIRMAN**—Yes; I thought the Surveyor-General would have been present; otherwise, I should have come prepared with it.\n\n**Hon. B. LAYTON**—It seems to me we ought to have some papers on the table giving particulars of this big expenditure.\n\n**Hon. J. BELL-IRVING**—I suppose the additional expense means that they have been going on faster with the work.\n\nThe **CHAIRMAN**—That is so.\n\n**Hon. B. LAYTON**—I think we ought to get a statement of what has actually been spent up to date.\n\nThe **CHAIRMAN**—If you wish it, it can be done—a report on the expenditure of the Tytam Water Works from the commencement up to date.\n\n**Hon. B. LAYTON**—I think we ought to have it. I know the amount expended is over what was estimated.\n\nThe **CHAIRMAN**—It was first estimated at so much, and then it was found necessary to increase the estimate. Then it was resolved to heighten the dam, and that entailed further expense.\n\n**Hon. B. LAYTON**—It is a big work, and we ought to have some idea of what it cost.\n\nThe **CHAIRMAN**—I have no doubt that from various reports of the Surveyor-General, the details could be obtained, but you want, I take it, a report in a succinct form, showing the outlay at a glance, and I shall see that it be laid on the table.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-239 - Governor Des Voeus Acting Governor Stewart - 1888 [9-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 338207, "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": "CO129-240 - Public Offices & Others - 1888", "page_number": 135, "title": "CO129-240 - Public Offices & Others - 1888", "content_text": "## DOMESTIC.\n### C.

In Servants' wages there has been a rise of from 10 to 15 per cent., owing principally to the rise in the price of food. Fish, vegetables, and oil have greatly increased in cost, and so have firewood and charcoal.\n\n(d) Imported articles have increased in price, and the rise has been, generally speaking, in proportion to the fall in exchange.\n\n(e.) The cost of Medical Attendance has also increased. The annual fee has risen from $50 to $100; and single visits from $5 to $10.\n\n(f.) In the case of Officers who have families to maintain or educate in England, and who have not the privilege of remitting at the par of exchange, the decreased purchasing power of the dollar is severely felt. An education equal to that obtainable at home is not at present to be obtained here, and, moreover, on grounds of health alone, the children of European parents have to be sent away at the age of six or seven.\n\n6. On the 20th November the Commission met for the purpose of considering to what extent the salaries of Members of the Civil Service should be raised.\n\n7. The Commission having reviewed all the circumstances of the case recommend generally as follows:-\n\n(a.) That the salaries of officers selected in England or holding positions which are usually filled up by officers so selected having originally been fixed on a sterling basis when the dollar was worth 4/2d, should be raised to an amount in current dollars equivalent to their original sterling value. The privilege enjoyed by a few of the officers of this class of remitting at the par of exchange should be withdrawn and all such officers put on an equal footing.\n\n(b.) That the value of the dollar should for the purpose of paying such salaries be based on the average rate for the twelve months next preceding such value to be fixed by the Legislative Council in the Annual Estimates. Such a system would, the Commission is informed, be similar in result to the practice which obtains in the Army and in the Consular service.\n\n(c.) That the salaries of other officers who have suffered from the depreciation of the dollar and who as a class may be deemed to be domiciled in the East should be increased by 20 per cent.\n\n(d.) That with regard to officers such as labourers, coolies and messengers whose wages have from time to time fluctuated with the local labour market no alteration should be made.\n\n8.

LAYTON.\n\n## SUNDAY LABOUR IN THE HARBOUR\n\n### Statement by the Governor\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY.--Before going further, I desire to refer to a subject which is of some importance to the community, especially to some members of it. During the year, I have had a number of petitions from various quarters praying for some measure by which there should be brought about a cessation of Sunday work in the harbour. Having very great sympathy with those who desire relief in this matter, and being anxious to afford that relief, to the extent of my ability, I have given the subject very full consideration. I have made inquiries in various quarters, and having at length come to the determination that it is out of my power to devise a measure which would at the same time effect the relief desired and be free of a very serious injury to the community, I think it only right that I should make public to some extent the considerations which have so far guided my judgment.\n\nIn dealing with this matter, I found that those people who desired relief specially are the Europeans employed on vessels in the harbour, numbering, so far as I can make out, at the most a thousand, employed on vessels and on land in connection with vessels, and that of these, a very large proportion being in Hongkong only a few Sundays in the year, would be benefited only for those few Sundays. Then the question is: However desirable it is to benefit them, how can we benefit them? To find how such benefit can be derived by workers in other parts of the world, I made enquiries of various countries, and I find that the means is practically one, namely, the closing of the Custom Houses on Sunday; for beyond a few obsolete statutes, I can find no law on the subject anywhere. Sunday labour in a harbour ceases because the Custom House closes, and for no other reason. As we are fortunately without a Custom House in Hongkong, it is evident that this means is not open to us, and there is no other alternative I know of, but a law enforcing the cessation of labour on Sunday either by fine or imprisonment.\n\nAnd that being the case, the next question that arises is, what must be the scope of such a law. I am informed that it could not be confined entirely to European vessels; that at once a very great advantage would be given to Chinese vessels and junks, on the part of which the rivalry is already keen enough. We must therefore make a law applicable to all the vessels in the harbour without exception. But can we stop there? I doubt it. It would be scarcely possible to conceive men being sent to gaol for working in the harbour on Sunday, when they see thousands of their fellow-countrymen pursuing their usual avocations on land, and doing so without any molestation whatever. I venture to say that not only would that be a great evil in itself, but it would destroy among the Chinese that reputation for justice in British law which has done so much to create the population and prosperity of Hongkong.\n\nBut we could not stop there: we must inevitably make the law a law against all Sunday labour whatever out-of-doors. Can we even stop there? It is unnecessary to pursue the subject further, whether we can or not. I think it is even doubtful if we could stop at out-door work, but supposing we could stop there, it is quite evident there would be a very...\n\nPage 150\nPage 151", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-250 - Acting Governor Barker - 1891 [6-8].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 346208, "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": "CO129-250 - Acting Governor Barker - 1891 [6-8]", "page_number": 607, "title": "CO129-250 - Acting Governor Barker - 1891 [6-8]", "content_text": "# DIOCESAN HOME AND ORPHANAGE BUILDING FUND\n\nHongkong:-\n\n## Brought forward, $2,250\n\n- Ho Wy-sun, Esq. | 25 \n- P.

J. H. Stewart-Lockhart, Registrar-General, on a petition from the Pó Lóung Kak, or Society for the Protection of Women and Children, was laid before the Legislative Council by command of His Excellency the Governor, at its last meeting :-\n\nRegistrar General's Office, Hongkong, 1st February, 1892,\n\nSir,\n\nI have the honour to forward herewith, for submission to His Excellency the Governor, the translation of a petition from the Chinese Society for the Protection of Women and Children, commonly known as the Pó Lóung Kuk, praying that the Government will be pleased to devise some means of making a grant to the Society, which will enable it to meet its expenditure, and to place the Institution on a firm and lasting basis.\n\n## HISTORY OF THE SOCIETY.\n\n2. In order to facilitate the consideration of the request made by the Petitioners, a short sketch of the origin of the Society may be found useful.\n\n3. In the year 1878, public attention was drawn to the question of traffic in human beings and the evil practice of kidnapping by the late Sir John Smale, who was at that time filling the office of Chief Justice. The discussion, to which his utterances from the bench gave rise, created much interest among the Chinese community, which led to a numerously-signed memorial being presented by the Chinese residents to the Governor, Sir J. Pope Hennessy, praying for permission to form an association for suppressing kidnapping and kindred offences. This memorial was forwarded to the Secretary of State for the Colonies, and in reply, the Earl of Kimberley stated that the memorialists should be allowed to form an association of whatever kind they desired, and that, in order to obtain official recognition, its rules and organisation should be made known and approved by the Colonial Government. Before the receipt of these instructions, a society entitled the Pó Leung Kuk had already been constituted informally and was reported to have rendered much practical aid to the Government. The Acting Chief Justice, Mr. Snowden, stated that he found the society of great help in the detection of kidnappers, and the Governor expressed his conviction that its operations and influence would do more than anything else to put an end to whatever was really bad in the native customs to which Sir John Smale had drawn so much attention. The rules of the society were drawn up, and it was proposed that an Ordinance giving them legislative force should be introduced. The Secretary of State did not consider legislation necessary and suggested that if the society required corporate powers, the Association could be formed under the Companies Ordinance, and formal approval could be given to its rules and organisation by the Local Government. Incorporation of the Society at that time was found impracticable, and it was agreed that publication of the rules as amended would meet all practical purposes.\n\nThese rules were approved by the Secretary of State. The names of the first officially recognised Committee of the Society appeared in the Gazette of the 12th August, 1882, since which date a Committee has been elected annually and recognised by the Government.\n\n## THE WORK OF THE SOCIETY.\n\n4. Having briefly traced the origin of the Society, I think it will not be out of place to describe the work which it performs.\n\n5. The work of the Society is performed by a Committee of eight (8) persons. The present Committee is made up of the following gentlemen, who are well-known members of the Chinese community, the mention of whose names is quite a sufficient guarantee for their respectability :- \n| Name | Position | Association/Firm |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Wai Ting-pan | President and Treasurer | Wai Tun Shin Tong, Compradore, Eastern Extension Telegraph Company |\n| Lau Tsó-in | Vice-President | Tai Fung Shun, Nám Pak Hong |\n| Ch'an Wai-hi | Member | Tai Cheung, Piece Goods Firm |\n| Sham U-fai | Member | Tai Shing, Foreign Goods Firm |\n| Ng U-ü | Member | Ts'eung Ki, Nám Pak Hong |\n| Tong Ping-lum | Member | Kwong Ch'enig Long, Californian Goods Firm |\n| Wong Kai-ming | Member | Sui Ch'eung Wing, Nám Pak Hong |\n| T'am Kwok-ying | Member | Sun Shing, Contractor's Firm |\n\nThis Committee, acting on behalf of the Society, co-operates with this department in detecting cases of kidnapping and kindred practices, and in bringing to justice the offenders in such cases; it provides a temporary home for men, women, and girls who have been inveigled into the Colony under false pretences for the purposes of emigration, for women and girls brought into the Colony for improper purposes, but who are found to be unwilling to enter on or who wish to abandon a life of shame; for children who are being brought up in vicious surroundings by persons who have no legal claim to them; for destitute women and girls found by the Police or sent back from places outside Hongkong, such as the Straits and San Francisco.\n\nBut the work of the Society does not only consist in aiding in the detection and bringing to justice of kidnappers and in the prevention of the traffic in human beings and in affording food, clothing, and shelter for rescued women and children and destitutes. It also co-operates with this department by correspondence and other means in making inquiries with a view to discovering the relations of those entrusted to the care of the Society, and finding out other particulars regarding them. For this portion of their duties, the Committee are specially qualified, for they are either personally acquainted with the locality in China where inquiry has to be made or have reliable friends to whom they can entrust the work of investigation, or can refer the matter to one of the many charitable institutions which exist in China, and which have always been ready to help in such inquiries. Indeed, it is difficult to see how this work of investigation could be carried on, except through the instrumentality of a body of Chinese gentlemen such as the Pó Leung Kuk. If inquiry leads to the discovery of the relatives of those rescued, due precautions are always taken by this office, if necessary after consultation with the Committee of the Pó Leung Kuk, to secure that the interests of the woman or girl handed over are properly safeguarded.\n\nIt is not, however, always possible to repatriate all the women and girls who are rescued and who find a temporary home in the Pó Leung Kuk, either owing to their having no relatives or friends or to other reasons. Consequently, other arrangements have to be made, if practicable, for having them respectably and comfortably settled in life. These are, as a rule, of two kinds, though in some cases young girls are sent direct to the Victoria Home and hope to the West Point Reformatory, where they are well cared for and educated. The women are married, and the young girls are adopted. And here again, the usefulness of the Society is manifest, for without its aid, this department would find it almost impossible to carry out this portion of its work, and the Government might find itself permanently burdened with the expenditure.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-255 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1892 [5-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 349271, "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": "CO129-255 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1892 [5-7]", "page_number": 223, "title": "CO129-255 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1892 [5-7]", "content_text": "## THE WIDOWS' AND ORPHANS' PENSION FUND,—Continued.\n\n### Office.\n\n| Name | |\n| --- | --- |\n| 1st Clerk, | F.

They have therefore united in humbly presenting this petition in which they pray that a light sentence may be awarded and give a brief account of the kindnesses which they have received at his hands. Whether this is right or not, they ask for pardon on his behalf. Petitioners recall the facts that in 1884 Mr. Mitchell-Innes passed with great credit his final examination in Chinese, and was appointed forthwith to the post of Registrar General, whence he was transferred to the Magistracy and afterwards was appointed Acting Superintendent of the Gaol.

HING, one of the Assistants of the Min Un Opium shop No. 30, Hillier Street. He used to ship Opium on the Canton steamers.\n\n3. That about one o'clock P.M. on the 12th September instant I saw him talking with my fellow watchman FUNG A SHING. I went near them and heard him ask A SHING not to watch him so closely, and he would pay him Two dollars a voyage. Thereupon I said \"No can.\" while you are engaged by the Company to prevent smugglers.\" FUNG A SHING then refused him. As A HING was leaving the steamer, he said the things would come that night. I suspected him and reported the circumstance to Mr. LOGAN, who replied \"if so, we will go and catch them.\" About 7.30 o'clock P.M. that evening, I saw Mr. LOGAN and some others find Opium in the steam-winch room, and the Captain took charge of it.\n\n64\n\nAnd I make this solemn declaration conscientiously believing the same to be true and by virtue of the Provisions of an Act made and passed in the Sixth year of the reign of His late Majesty King WILLIAM the Fourth entitled \"An Act to repeal an Act of the (then) present Session of Parliament entitled An Act \"for the more effectual Abolition of Oaths and Affirmations taken and made in \"various Departments of the State and to substitute Declarations in lieu thereof \"and for the more entire suppression of voluntary and extra-judicial Oaths and \"Affidavits' and to make other provisions for the Abolition of unnecessary Oaths.\"\n\nDeclared at No. 35, Queen's Road Victoria in the Colony of Hongkong this 23rd day of September 1889.\n\nBefore me,\n\n(PUN KONG.)\n\n潘江\n\n4\n\n( 23 )\n\n4.

That I am in the employment of the Hongkong, Canton and Macao Steamboat Company, Limited, as Assistant Preventive Officer, to watch the Company's steamers and prevent people from smuggling Opium and Saltpetre.\n\n2. That about 3 o'clock in the morning of the Eleventh September instant, I went to the steamer Honam. About 3.30 o'clock A.M., I saw a boat come along the port side of the steamer, but the people in the boat also saw me and rowed away towards the West and stopped when they got near the Anchorage of Chinese Junks. They waited there for about half an hour and then came alongside the Honam again on the port bow. When they got near the steamer, they saw me again and again rowed away from the steamer. They did this two or three times. The boat did not finally go away until about 5.30 o'clock A.M. Thereupon, I went ashore and followed it. It came ashore at West Point, and I saw four large parcels taken ashore by a man who twice carried two parcels into the house No. 223, Praya West, where the Opium is boiled by the Opium Farmer. I reported what had happened to the Head Preventive Officer, Mr. LOGAN.\n\n3. That about 10 o'clock A.M. on the following day, the Twelfth September instant, I went on board the Powan. About 1 o'clock P.M., a man called A HING came on board the Powan and talked with me. He asked me not to watch him so closely, and he would pay me Two dollars a voyage. Then Pun Kong, my fellow watchman, came and heard what passed between us, and A. Hing requested me not to keep my eyes on him. Pun Kong, hearing this, said to me \"No can. How could you take the smuggler's money when you were engaged by the Company to prevent them from smuggling?\" so I replied to A Hing \"No can,\" and he went away. I reported the matter to Mr. LOGAN.\n\n4. That at about 7 o'clock P.M. that same day, I was on board the Honam and saw a boat coming towards the ship. At the same time, A HENG came up to me and said that the things were coming. I replied \"No can. If you are smuggling, I must try to seize the goods.\" Almost immediately, I saw that the boat was leaving the Honam and going Westward. I reported the matter to Mr. LOGAN, and accompanied him in his search when we found four parcels of Opium in the steam-winch room. The Captain took charge of this Opium.\n\nAnd I make this solemn Declaration conscientiously believing the same to be true and by virtue of the provisions of an Act made and passed in the Sixth Year of the Reign of His late Majesty King WILLIAM the Fourth entitled \"An Act to repeal an Act of the (then) present Session of Parliament\" entitled An Act for \"the more effectual Abolition of Oaths and Affirmations taken and made in various Departments of the State and to substitute Declarations in lieu thereof and for the more entire suppression of voluntary and extra-judicial Oaths and Affidavits' and to make other provisions for the Abolition of unnecessary Oaths.\"\n\nDeclared at No. 35, Queen's Road Victoria in the Colony of Hongkong, this 24th day of September 1889.\n\nBefore me,\n\n(FUNG A SHING.)\n\n馮阿成\n\nLS\n\nVICTOR H.

That on the 10th September instant at about 6 o'clock P.M., my principal Leung Cheung gave me a delivery order for 24 tins of prepared Opium packed in four large parcels. I took the order to Tak Lung, the Manager of the Cheang Tak Company, and he gave me an Export Certificate and told me to get Opium at the factory at Praya West. Accordingly at about 6.30 o'clock that evening I got 24 tins of Opium from the clerk at the said factory and shipped them on board a small boat. About 3.30 o'clock on the morning of the 11th September instant I tried several times to take the Opium on board the steamboat Honam in this small boat but failed as the preventive officer was strictly watching until the said Leung Cheung who was then on board the steamer told me to take the Opium back so I took it back to Praya West and carried it ashore to the clerk in two journeys. This was about six o'clock in the morning.\n\n3. That on 12th September instant, the said Leung Cheung requested me to offer the preventive officer some bribe money so I went on board the Powan and talked with the officer Fung A-Shing. I requested him not to watch me so strictly and promised to pay him two dollars a voyage. He refused and I went away.\n\n4. That on the 12th September instant about 6 o'clock P.M. I again got a delivery order from the said Leung Cheung to get 24 tins of Opium. Accordingly I obtained them from the clerk at the factory at Praya West and shipped them in a boat for the steamer. As we approached I went ashore and went to the steamer. There I saw the said Fung A Shing and told him that the things had come. He told me not to send it there.

Inspector Bremner having obtained information that an attempt was to be made to smuggle a quantity of raw opium, went off in a boat accompanied by a small body of police, about 8 p.m., and overtook two boats suspected of having opium on board. On one boat were found 414 balls of Malwa and 199 balls of Patna, and on the other 207 balls of Malwa and 160 balls of Patna. There were three persons in charge of each boat and these were arrested and brought before Mr. Wodehouse yesterday morning. The men in charge of each boat were fined $500 or six months' imprisonment, while the other occupants of the boat were each fined $50. Later in the day Mr. Webber applied for a rehearing of the case on the ground that he had a perfect defence for all the prisoners. The application was granted, and the case will be reheard on the 10th inst. [Daily Press, 7th September, 1889.]\n\nPOLICE COURT.\n\n10th September.\n\nIn the case in which six men were charged with removing 199 balls of Patna opium and 414 balls of Malwa without permission from the Superintendent of Imports and Exports, Mr. Webber stated that Mr. Francis had been retained for the defence, and asked for a further remand. Remanded until Friday,\n\nPOLICE COURT.\n\n13th September.\n\nTHE OPIUM CASE.\n\nThe case in which six men are charged with the illegal possession of several hundred balls of opium was again before the Court. Mr. Francis, Q.C., instructed by Mr. Webber, appeared for the defence, and explained that he was instructed on behalf of the owner of the opium. Mr. Dennys watched the case on behalf of the Opium Farmer.\n\nThe case arose out of a seizure made by Inspector Bremner on two sampans, and the charge was laid under the section of the Ordinance which prohibits the possession of opium in quantities of less than one chest. In this case the chests had been broken and the balls packed in bags.\n\nMr. Francis, addressing the Court for the defence, said the opium in question was the property of the Yune Tak firm, of which Lam Chune Sing was one of the partners. Lam Chune Sing was a licensee for the sale of prepared Opium under Ordinance 1 of 1884 and was, as he understood, the only person who had been directly licensed by the Opium Farmer for the purpose of selling prepared Opium.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-260 - Governor Sir Robinson Acting Governor O-Brien - 1893 [9-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 353687, "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": "CO129-262 - Governor Sir Robinson Acting Governor O-Brien - 1894 [1-4]", "page_number": 77, "title": "CO129-262 - Governor Sir Robinson Acting Governor O-Brien - 1894 [1-4]", "content_text": "75\n\nthemselves of the opium habit.\n\n11.

H. Logan, preventive officer, Hongkong and Canton Steamboat Company, with having 650 taels of prepared opium in his possession unlawfully on board the river steamer Powan on the 5th inst. The accused was defended by Mr H. L. Dennys. Fung Shing, preventive officer, stated that at 7 p.m. on the 5th inst he was on board the Powan lying alongside the Wharf. He was going from the lower to the upper deck, when he met the defendant on the stair descending with a box on his shoulder. He followed defendant to one of the entry ports. He asked defendant what the box contained, and the defendant replied that he did not know and that he had no key.\n\nMr Logan was present; defendant then stated that the box contained opium dross. He produced a key; the box was opened, and was found to contain thirteen tins of prepared opium. Witness saw no certificate from the Opium Farm. He asked defendant if he had any papers, and the defendant replied that he had reported to the Opium Farm. In cross-examination by Mr Dennys, witness said he saw a document written in Chinese at the Central Police Station where it was shown to the Inspector on duty.\n\nMr Logan stated that the Powan had arrived at 3.45 p.m. on the 5th inst., and was to leave at 6 p.m. on the 6th inst. Witness asked the defendant in Chinese 'Have you the Company's paper or not?' Defendant replied 'No; no paper;' and stated that the opium came from Canton. Witness asked if it had been entered in the ship's manifest; defendant replied in the negative, and he was, thereupon, handed over to the police. Witness did not see the paper produced until the defendant was taken to the Police Station; and even if he had he would not have accepted it as a valid certificate from the Farm. He was aware that formerly prepared opium used to come over by the Company's boats from Macao for export to California.\n\nThe court interpreter stated that the document produced was a delivery order from the Hau Fuk Opium Farm for twenty tins of prepared opium.

A copy of the message was sent at once by Lord Kimberley to Lord Rosebery, who is remaining in town during the crisis. Lord Kimberley has demanded a strict inquiry into the Kow Shing massacre, and has asked that the British Consul shall be present at the court-martial on the commander of the Japanese cruiser which destroyed the vessel.

Colonial Secretary's letter No. 449 of 30th March, 1894.)\n\n3. The Committee unanimously recommend that the office of Clerk of Councils, the present salary of which is $1,296, should not exist as a separate office and that its duties should be performed by the Assistant Colonial Secretary. I concur in this recommendation, to which effect should be given whenever an opportunity occurs. This would reduce the annual expenditure under the head of Governor and Legislature from $41,339 to $40,043.\n\nCOLONIAL SECRETARY'S OFFICE.\n\n(Report, para. 10. Evidence, pp. 47, 57.\n\nColonial Secretary's letter No. 449 of 30th March, 1894.)\n\n4. Passing over the proposed amalgamation of the offices of Colonial Secretary and Registrar General, which will be dealt with in connection with the Registrar General's Department, I have to point out that the Committee has practically adopted the recommendations of the Colonial Secretary (Sir G. T. M. O'BRIEN), made in his letter to the Committee of the 30th March last, which will, when carried out, effect a maximum saving of $7,204, and a minimum, when the highest scale of salaries is reached, of $4,804. I have on several occasions represented to Your Lordship that the clerical service of this Colony is overpaid. The Retrenchment Committee, by recognition of that fact, which is emphasised in the Colonial Secretary's letter to the Committee, has been able to recommend the adoption of Sir GEORGE O'BRIEN'S suggestions by which considerable reductions will be effected on the occurrence of vacancies not only in the salaries of the clerical staff of the Colonial Secretary's Office, but also in most of the other departments of the Civil Service.\n\n13th July, 1892.\n\n5. I concur generally in all the recommendations made by Sir GEORGE O'BRIEN, which the Committee is of opinion should be adopted as soon as possible. These recommendations include the abolition of the post of Chief Clerk and of the appointment of a competent Assistant Colonial Secretary, who should occupy the post for some time, and who should be adequately remunerated in order to compensate him for loss of acting appointments in other departments.

FRASER SMITH in the course of a few remarks expressed the opinion that as the meeting had been convened for the special purpose of deciding what steps should be taken to recognise the services of the volunteers, they should at once proceed to discuss the point.\n\nThe ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE in reply said that this matter had been considered by the provisional Committee and they had decided that it would be better not to discuss in public what shape the recognition should take.\n\nThe resolution was then put and carried nem. con.\n\nHon.

It is not necessary in moving this resolution to say anything, because in the past our experience has been that His Excellency's courteous presence has always been readily obtained by the community when any public function has been going on. I therefore, gentlemen, beg to move a vote of thanks to His Excellency for presiding.\n\nMr. H. HOPPIUS - Gentlemen, I have very much pleasure in seconding the motion proposed by Mr. Keswick.

The question \narises as to how far it is wise and safe to extend it. Judging partly \nfrom the few cases disposed of summarily, but much more from the \nextreme difficulty which some criminal cases present, I think it \na mistake to make this change.\n\nNothing has struck me more in trying cases than the readiness with \nwhich criminal charges are offered and preferred, and the lack of \nevidence proven, especially on the part of informers, in the \nidentification of prisoners and confession of guilt. This is probably \naccounted for in part by the employment of discharged prisoners to \ntrack and inform on Chinese, especially of the Coolie class.

The present Bill is a great improvement on the law as it stands. That law has been in operation since 1850. It was made under the Treaty of the Bogue, which provided that persons who had committed crimes and offences in China were to be given up. Then came the Treaty of Tientsin, which left the matter still more vague, because you had no description of crimes and offences, but were simply told you had to give up \"criminals.\" Then, again, there was another difficulty. Under the Treaty of Tientsin you had to give them up, or place them at the disposal of the Governor, on proof of guilt. Under Ordinance 2 of 1850 the Magistrate had to place these fugitive criminals at the disposal of the Governor, by committing them to prison, if he had probable cause for believing the accused had committed such crime or offence.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY-I regret I am not able to give way to the hon. members on this point, and I think their apprehensions on the subject will be dispelled by the statement of the Attorney-General and by further consideration of the Bill. I did not wish to say so distinctly, but as a matter of fact the purpose which I hoped at one time to achieve by this Bill is now entirely set aside. This Bill, as I have always said, was an alternative which I did not prefer, but which was adopted by Her Majesty's Government.\n\nHon. P. RYKIE-If this Ordinance makes no difference what is the use of it?\n\nHis EXCELLENCY-It makes no difference whatever as regards the matter of torture. The instructions which have been received from the Secretary of State in years past will remain the same as before.\n\nHon. P. RYKIE-Otherwise than that does this Ordinance give the Government very great powers? I do not see that it does.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY-It contains very great improvements. I have them written out here and I will read them if the hon. member likes. The question is, does the hon. member oppose the second reading?\n\nHon. P. RYKIE-I do; I propose the Bill be laid on the table this day six months.\n\nThe Council divided :--\n| Member | Vote |\n| --- | --- |\n| The Acting Registrar-General | AYE |\n| The Acting Attorney-General | AYE |\n| The Acting Colonial Treasurer | AYE |\n| The Governor | AYE |\n| The Colonial Secretary | AYE |\n| Hon. J. J. Keswick | NO |\n| Hon. B. Layton | NO |\n| Hon. Wong Shing | NO |\n| Hon. P. Ryrie | NO |\n\nThe second reading was therefore carried.\n\n## Supplement to the Daily Press 10th June 1889\n\n### THE CHINESE EXTRADITION BILL\n\nThe action of the Unofficial members in opposing the Chinese Extradition Bill in the Legislative Council, after the announcement that the clause admitting evidence taken in Chinese courts was to be struck out, cannot be considered very wise. To have rejected the Bill on its account, had it been intended that the clause should remain part of the measure, would have been a perfectly justifiable and understandable course. With that clause removed the Bill in every respect tells in favour of persons whose extradition may be applied for. Not only does it substitute order for disorder in the procedure, but it gives the accused full opportunity of establishing his innocence or throwing doubt on the bona fides of the prosecution.\n\nThe real question which it was sought to dispose of by the Bill as originally drafted will now be left precisely where it was. It is alleged that numerous criminals from the neighbouring province take refuge in the colony, and that they use Hongkong as a basis from which to commit depredations in the mainland. So long as they do not offend against the laws of the colony they are practically safe and cannot be interfered with. In law they are liable to rendition, but the process is costly and cumbersome that the Chinese Authorities have given up applying for fugitive criminals.\n\nThe matter has not, however, reached the stage of finality, we believe. The Governor spoke of clause 16 of the Bill as an alternative which he did not prefer himself but which had been approved by the Secretary of State. That alternative not having been carried into effect, the Governor will probably again urge the other, to which he gives his preference, but the nature of which he has not publicly disclosed. It is impossible that things can go on as they are. The Hon. P. RYRIE says, \"give up rendition altogether,\" and that is practically what has been done, for the cost and difficulty render it prohibitive. But, having agreed by treaty to give up to China her fugitive criminals, common honesty demands that we should carry out our obligations, and self-interest points in the same direction, for not only do we not want the colony to become the resort of the rascaldom of Kwang-tung, but if we do not carry out our treaty obligations to China how can we complain if China does not carry out her obligations?", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-275 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1897 [1-5].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 363016, "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": "CO129-275 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1897 [1-5]", "page_number": 532, "title": "CO129-275 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1897 [1-5]", "content_text": "The Daily Press.\n\nHONGKONG, JUNE 26TH, 1889.\n\nTHE CHINESE RENDITION ORDINANCE.\n\nThe ACTING ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved the third reading of the Chinese Rendition Ordinance.\n\nThe Colonial Secretary seconded.\n\nHon. P. RYRIE--Your Excellency, I beg to say that my opposition to this Bill still remains, and from what I heard from the Chinese, only as late as yesterday, they are as strongly against it as ever, particularly with regard to this provision:\n\n\"Provided always that whenever the Governor shall, from the Magistrate's report or otherwise, have reason to suppose that any fugitive criminal, who has been committed to the Victoria Gaol to await the further order of the Governor, has been resident in the colony for one year or upwards, the depositions and evidence taken before the Magistrate on the investigation of the case shall, together with the Magistrate's report thereon, be considered by the Governor in Council, who shall be assisted in such consideration by the Chief Justice of the colony, and the Governor in Council shall decide whether such fugitive criminal shall be surrendered or not.\"\n\nthat there is a reason for making this change in the law, but candidly speaking, I cannot see the least believe that there is the slightest danger.\n\nFOR.\n\nHon. C. P. Chater\n\nThe Surveyor-General\n\nAGAINST\n\nHon. J. J. Kale\n\nHon. B. Lay\n\nHon. Wong\n\nThe Acting Registrar-General\n\nThe Acting Colonial Treasurer\n\nHon. P. RYRIE--If this law rendered it more easy on the whole to get people away, which was, I must say, the original intention of the Bill--there might be something to be said in favour of the hon. member's motion, but nobody can pretend that any such outrage has been attempted here for many years past.\n\nHon. P. RYRIE--One occurred within the last few days, I am informed.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY--Do you mean to tell me that such a person will not be in the position of making the Government alive to the real reason of his being demanded, and do you mean to say that the fact of the Government being so made alive will not cause the most stringent measures to be taken to prevent the man being given up if he is really innocent? Unless it was strictly guarded against, the provision you propose would make it impossible to get rid of the worst criminals. The restrictions, as it is, are sufficient to render me doubtful whether in some respects there won't be much more difficulty in getting rid of those I had hoped to do--I cannot exactly explain myself--but I may say that I fear already that the loopholes made for the innocent may be availed of by the guilty, and I am not sure that it would be exceedingly difficult to make them larger in the way the hon. member suggests, without also making them much larger for those whom we desire to get rid of.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY--The Chinese don't consider that sufficient, more especially those Chinese gentlemen and merchants who come here occasionally from the Straits Settlements and protected States. They perhaps become residents only for two or three months, perhaps only one; they come here generally with funds, and have assisted in raising the value of property very much by investing their funds here. That class of visitor is one that attracts the particular attention of the runners of the Chinese mandarins, who consider them worth looking after, and if they can't bring a crime against them, will manufacture one.\n\nSince this Council last met, I had a conversation with a gentleman who understands the subject pretty well, and he said no Chinese should be extradited who had been longer than two or three months in the Colony. Even that would not be sufficient for the class of people I have referred to. He says if a Chinaman has been here for a year or two and has advanced in prosperity and has acquired goods or property, he may be wanted afterwards, but if he has not been prosperous and is really an offender of a rather serious character, they will leave him alone. If any amendment could be made in the clause which I have read, so that Chinese visitors to the colony who may or may not have been guilty of an offence in past times, but who when they come here have a good position, should be protected, it would be a good thing.\n\nHon. P. RYRIE--My informant is one of the most intelligent Chinese in the Colony. He is well known to many of those here.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY--All the intelligence in the world won't upset my belief in British Governors and British Governments, to the extent that a person of the class you motion is likely to be extradited as a criminal.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY--Do you move that the third reading be opposed?\n\nHon. P. RYRIE--If you will allow me, I would propose that this Bill be re-committed. That would give us time to think over the matter. I have not yet considered it myself. It was only yesterday that I was visited by this Chinese gentleman, and I have therefore had no time to consider any amendment. I propose, therefore, that this Bill be re-committed with a view to introducing some such clause as a protection to the parties I have mentioned.\n\nThere being no seconder to this motion, the COLONIAL SECRETARY, at the request of His EXCELLENCY, formally seconded.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY--The objection of the hon. member is one which I do not think will bear investigation. It is perfectly monstrous to suppose that a Chinese merchant coming here from the Straits or elsewhere could, under this Ordinance, be extradited under such circumstances. While certain provisions have been put in for the satisfaction of hon. members, I do not believe that without these, there would be any such opportunity for so gross a miscarriage of justice as sending away people because they have committed some offence in years long past or because it is desired to obtain their property or that of their relations.\n\nHon. P. RYRIE--But it gives opportunities for threats. You must know that there are emissaries of the mandarins in Canton by hundreds in this Colony.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY--If you are going to guard against threats, I do not know of any human institution which will do that. We cannot pass any law which will prevent that. If it is perfectly well understood--I take this opportunity of saying this, as the Hon. Wong Shing and the Registrar-General are present--that the utmost attention will be given to any case where a man is leading a respectable life, and that they must resist to the utmost any attempt to blackmail them, I think they will see that they are in perfect safety here.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY--If the hon. gentleman had thoroughly thought out the matter and had put his amendment into words, we should have something to discuss. At the present moment, it is in a somewhat vague form because he does not suggest any form of words which could possibly include such persons as he mentions in the Ordinance without including the blackguards we all desire to get rid of.\n\nHon. P. RYRIE--I have had no time to do so. It was only yesterday afternoon that I got my information.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY--I think, under the whole circumstances, I feel so absolutely safe with regard to these people and can give such an absolute assurance of safety until this Ordinance comes into operation, that I may say, at all events, there is not the least danger in allowing it to pass. I shall give the fullest consideration to what the hon. member may suggest on a future occasion, and if anything can be devised with his assistance, by which these people can be covered and the villains excluded, no one will be more willing to entertain it than myself.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY then put the question that the third reading do pass, and declared it passed.\n\nHon. B. LAYTON asked whether there was not going to be a division taken on the third reading. He wished to record his vote against it.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY said there could be no division really, as there was no motion of opposition to the third reading, but if hon. members desired it, a division could be taken.\n\nA division was then taken with the following result:\n\nNo: 292\n\nEnclosure\n\nColonial Secretary to H.B.M. Cowell,\n\nCanton.\n\nSir,\n\nColonial Secretary's Office, Hong Kong, 22 February 1897.\n\nI am directed to inform you that your Memorandum of December last on the subject of the extradition of Chinese criminals from this Colony has received the careful consideration of this Government.\n\nHis Excellency the Governor is advised that under the existing law, a request by telegram is sufficient to warrant the Governor ordering the Magistrate to issue a warrant for the arrest of a Chinese fugitive criminal; such telegram should, however, furnish sufficient...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-275 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1897 [1-5].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 363567, "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": "CO129-276 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1897 [6-8]", "page_number": 402, "title": "CO129-276 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1897 [6-8]", "content_text": "(6)\n\nwith reference to 3rd item in paper III\n\n$15 means that on the 1st day of this year I paid to Sham Ngaw $15.00 to be handed to Wan Shing the sum of $15.00.

W. Brewin was here called to put in a translation of one of the books. He pointed out the entries referring to No. 12 and also an entry \"New 43, $2.\" There was also an entry \"43, $5.\"\n\nIn answer to his Lordship, Mr. Brewin said there were no dates against the items respecting the money paid to Cheng On. All the items followed in regular sequence.\n\nHon. F. H. May then went into the witness box again and his cross-examination was proceeded with.\n\nMr. Robinson-Have you spoken to Cheng On since yesterday?\n\nWitness-No.\n\nSince the sitting of the Court yesterday? Yes.\n\nWhat did you speak to him about? I asked him whether it was 1 or 3, Cheung Sha Wan Street where the gambling was carried on.\n\nYou were speaking with reference to this case? Yes.\n\nWas any other European with you at the time? Yes. Mr. Dennys.\n\nWhat is Acting Inspector Hall's number? 91.\n\nIn this document 91 is written down and opposite is the figure 11-Yes.\n\nAs regards ), he has not been suspended? No.\n\nAm I right in saying that Acting Inspector Hall has been for the last 18 months at Shaukiwan? I do not know how long he has been there. He has been there since I came back, I believe. I came back in October last year.\n\nAs a matter of fact Acting Inspector Hall has been at Sheukiwan since last October and he was there when you returned? Yes.\n\nWhat was Inspector Manu's number? 89. What is his station? Wanchai.\n\nHow long has he been there? He has been there since I came back from leave; how long before I do not know.\n\nOpposite 89 in this list is written $1.10? Yes.\n\nHe has not been suspended? No.\n\nHas either of those two men anything whatsoever to do with the gambling section No. 2, Central District? No.\n\nCan you explain how their names got into this list? Before they were transferred they were doing duty in the Central District.\n\nI will ask you to get the dates of their respective appointments to their several districts. Now with regard to Inspector Mann perhaps you will have a little more knowledge. When did Inspector Mann return from leave? I cannot answer that accurately. I was on leave myself.\n\nDo you know that he returned in June, 1890, and that he was appointed to Wanchai? I do not know what date he returned.\n\nYou know that he was on leave whilst you were on leave? Yes.\n\nYou can ascertain when he returned from leave? Yes.\n\nAnd when he returned to Wanchai? Yes. Will you read the entries against 89 and 91? #91, $11; and underneath is put \"11.\" #89, $1.10; underneath is written \"Tung.\"\n\nThere are a large number of names of Chinese detectives in that book? Yes.\n\nI think sixteen entries have been marked by somebody? Yes.\n\nWill you read out those sixteen entries? I cannot read them correctly because I cannot read grass writing very well. The first entry does not refer to a detective; $4 is against the name.\n\nThe next might be Kwan, $2.\n\nIs he a detective as far as you know? There is a man called Kwan Shing, a detective. It may refer to him.\n\nHas he been banished? Yes.\n\nNo. 3 is Tung? Yes.\n\nWhat amount? $2.\n\nNo. 4 is Chu Lun? Yes, a detective.\n\nYou think he is a detective-Chu Lun, I know, is a detective.\n\nNo. 5 is Cheng Tai, $8? Yes. He is a detective. No. 6 is Hu Hing, $8; No. 7, Tam Shing, $7; 8, Mee Chung.\n\nIs he a detective? I am not sure. He is a policeman.\n\nWhat is the number written against him? $8. What is No. 9, Leung Lai? I cannot read that; $5 is the amount.\n\nChu Tsoi is next?\n\nHis Lordship (to Mr. Robinson)-Does not all that appear in the translation you are now reading? Why do you take Mr. May through it all? What is the object?\n\nMr. Robinson-Because Mr. May has said that one end of the document consisted mainly of the names of police. Now I am pointing out that large sums were being paid to men some of whom, he tells us, are detectives.\n\nHis Lordship pointed out that when Mr. Francis, in his opening address, said that documents showed a large amount of corruption among the officers of the Police Force Mr. Robinson objected, and now Mr. Robinson was going over to same ground.\n\nMr. Robinson-I am dealing with the corruption alleged at the present moment and how it affects the Chinese Police Force.\n\nHis Lordship-I do not think you can go into the general question. I am not trying the whole Police Force here; I am trying the defendant.\n\nMr. Robinson-Here are names, some of whom the witness says are detectives, to whom large sums have been passed, and I shall found an argument on that fact.\n\nHis Lordship-You can put a definite question to Mr. May to show that this list is not correct or otherwise, but do not go through the list as it stands.\n\nMr. Robinson-I want information of identity of these people.\n\nHis Lordship-What is the good of that? Suppose you establish---\n\nMr. Robinson-I do not wish to address an argument to the Court at this stage, but I will say that it is obviously unnecessary to pay bribes to Europeans when the houses have all the natives in their pay. They do not want to travel outside that in order to secure their end.\n\nWitness-I can tell you how many Chinese police are on the list.\n\nHis Lordship (to Mr. Robinson)-I am only anxious for the case to be kept within reasonable limits.\n\nMr. Robinson (to witness)-Can you tell me how many Chinese detectives, or how many members of the Chinese force are in the book?\n\nWitness-61.\n\n61 are mentioned as being in the pay of the gambling houses? Yes.\n\nHis Lordship-61 altogether? So far as I have been able to identify.\n\n61 members of the Police Force? The Chinese Police Force.\n\nMr. Robinson-With regard to these men there are larger figures against their names than $1.10 or $1 which is put opposite No. 12? There are larger sums.\n\nIn looking through this translation I saw a Government firm or something like that mentioned. Government House.\n\nDo you know whether that refers to His Excellency's A.D.C. or to the Secretary to His Excellency, perhaps? No.\n\nYou do not know to whom it refers? \"Government House, $3.” No it is not $3.\n\n$3? Yes.\n\nDoes the name of any member of the Legislative Council appear? No.\n\nYou might (handing a document) look at that entry: Does there not appear in that translation the name of a member of the Legislative Council? It might be.\n\nMr. Robinson-\"Ho Kai, $1.50.\"\n\nHis Lordship-Suppose Ho Kai has taken $1.50?\n\nMr. Robinson-I do not suppose he has.\n\nHis Lordship-Well, suppose he has. Can we try that issue?\n\nMr. Robinson-No, my Lord.\n\nHis Lordship-Well, I must ask you-\n\nMr. Robinson-I have an argument in my breast-\n\nHis Lordship-I don't care a penny whether Dr. Ho Kai took the money or not. I do not believe for a moment he did; but suppose he did.\n\nMr. Robinson-It shows that this list cannot be depended upon.\n\n470", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-276 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1897 [6-8].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 363660, "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": "CO129-276 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1897 [6-8]", "page_number": 494, "title": "CO129-276 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1897 [6-8]", "content_text": "and be produced a memorandum purporting to give Barkam an account of the amounts which he had paid.

The \"Chingtu\" was the first vessel to sail for Hong Kong, and we decided to send forward by her, but on presenting the Bill of Lading to the Agents, Messrs. Aplin Brown & Co., they asked £1:1:- freight which we considered excessive and declined to pay as the E. & A. Co.'s charge was only 10/6. Our Shipping Clerk, wishing to forward the parcel as cheaply as possible, gave instructions to forward by registered Parcel Post and the Sovereigns went forward by the \"Chingtu\" sailing about 26th June 1894.\n\nWe heard no more of the money until 11th February 1895, when See Poy wrote us to say Why Shing had not received the parcel.

(Floating Fire Engine by Shand and Mason.)\n\nThis engine is new. It was finished on the 22nd January and commenced work in February. It did good service at the Fire on board the S.S. Belgic, on the 21st April and has been found very suitable for harbour work. The propelling engine is of sufficient power to maintain a speed of 9 miles per hour, so that little time is lost in reaching a fire in any part of the harbour. With the exception of a burst tube which gave out at the finish of the fire on the Belgic, the boiler and machinery have given every satisfaction.\n\n## STEAMER NO. 2. (Land Engine by Shand and Mason.)\n\nThis engine has been 19 years in service; the original boiler which was worn out was replaced with a new one this year supplied by Shand and Mason. It has been well tested at drill and found satisfactory, and is now in good working order.\n\n## STEAMER No. 3. (Land Engine by Shand and Mason.)\n\nThis engine has been 19 years in service and is now in good order; the boiler has been regularly cleaned and examined and the machinery tested for efficiency at drill.\n\n| No. | DATE | SITUATION OF FIRE | No. of BUILDINGS DESTROYED | ESTIMATED AMOUNT OF PROPERTY DESTROYED |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| | | | Wholly | Partly | |\n| | February 10 | No. 3, Bonham Strand, | | | 12,000 |\n| | 17 | No. 129, Queen's Road West, | | | 2,900 |\n| | March 9 | No. 15, Tsz Mi Lane, | | | 19,000 |\n| | 10 | No. 76, Jervois Street, | 11 | | |\n| | 23 | No. 17, Wing Kat Street, | | | 2,500 |\n| | 24 | No. 34, Bonham Strand, | | | 1,800 |\n| | April 5 | Blackhead & Co.'s Godowns at Tsimshatsui, | 14 | 30 | |\n| | 30 | No. 273, Queen's Road Central, | | | 8,000 |\n| | May 4 | No. 35, Battery Road, | | | 600 |\n| | June 14 | A Carpenter's Shed at Kennedy Town, | | | 200 |\n| | July 3 | No. 28, Tank Lane, | | | 300 |\n| | 25 | No. 185, Queen's Road West, | | | 26,000 |\n| | August 23 | No. 311, Queen's Road Central, | | | 2,000 |\n| | September 15 | No. 39, Wing Lok Street, | | | 1,200 |\n| | 21 | No. 76, Queen's Road West, | | | 4,000 |\n| | October 5 | No. 9, In Kee Lane, | | | 1,500 |\n| | 7 | No. 5, Gage Street, | | | 3,000 |\n| | November 5 | No. 9, Sheung Fung Lane, | | | 100 |\n| | 16 | No. 259, Queen's Road Central, | 24 | 50 | 50,000 |\n| | 24 | No. 13, Triangle Street, | | | 150 |\n| | 27 | No. 1, Nallah Lane, | | | 190 |\n| | 28 | No. 107, Wellington Street, | | | 1,000 |\n| | 29 | No. 168, Queen's Road East, | | | 150 |\n| | 29 | No. 165, Queen's Road East, | | | 150 |\n| | 30 | No. 40, Wing On Street, | | | 16,000 |\n| | December 1 | No. 31, Pound Lane, | | | 200 |\n| | 11 | No. 15, Morrison Street, | | | 1,800 |\n| | 20 | No. 5, Kan U Fong, | | | 1,500 |\n| | 28 | No. 56, Bonham Strand, | 16 | | 30,000 |", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-281 -

Your Petitioner CHU TSOR, ex P.C. 269, enlisted in the said Police Force on the 1st August 1887, and served therein until the 21st July, 1897, when he held the rank of a second-class constable.\n\n(10.) Your Petitioner WONG TAK, ex P.C. 268, enlisted in the said Police Force on the 4th November 1886, and served therein until the 21st July, 1897, when he held the rank of a second-class constable.\n\n(11.) Your Petitioner KWAN SHING, ex P.C. 321, enlisted in the said Police Force on the 15th July, 1888, and served therein until the 21st July, 1897, when he held the rank of a second-class constable.\n\nYour Petitioners named in this paragraph having all joined the Police Force subsequent to the 18th September, 1884, were consequently, none of them entitled to a pension at the time of their dismissal hereinafter mentioned.\n\n3.-Your Petitioner WONG KEUNG (referred to in No. 6 of paragraph No. 1) had for several years prior to the 21st July, 1897, performed duty on the P. & O. Company's vessels in harbour, and his salary was paid by that Company. All your other before-named Petitioners were members of the Detective Department and had up to the 12th July, 1897, apparently given satisfaction to the Captain Superintendent of Police and to their other superior officers.\n\n4. On the 21st June, 1897, the Honourable F. H. MAY C.M.G., the Captain Superintendent of Police, acting on information supplied to him, visited the second floor of house No. 3, East Street, which was subsequently shown to be the dwelling house and depot of certain men who had carried on gambling on the second floor of house No. 2 Wah Lane.\n\nIn the said No. 3, East Street the Captain Superintendent arrested certain men suspected of being gamblers, but who were subsequently discharged, and seized certain account books and papers relating to gambling in No. 2, Wah Lane. He also, at the same time, seized about $1,000 and several articles of jewellery. Later, on the said 21st of June, a Chinese detective, acting under the instructions of the then chief of the Detective Department, arrested a man named SHUM IN, who was charged with having kept a gambling house at No. 2, Wah Lane, and, on the 7th July, he was convicted of the offence and sentenced to nine months imprisonment with hard labour.\n\nIt appears that this prisoner was induced by the promises of his gaoler, the Captain Superintendent of Police, to make certain statements to attempt to connect your Petitioners with a certain list, purporting to contain the names or numbers of numerous officials in receipt of bribes from gamblers, which was found amongst the papers in No. 3, East Street.\n\n5.-Apparently because of the fact of there being names on the said list similar to those of your Petitioners, and in consequence of false information supplied by the convict SHUM IN, who hoped, because of the promises then already made to him of being put to light labour and of being granted a remission of a part of his sentence, your Petitioners were suspected of having received bribes to withhold information of the gambling from their superior officers. With regard to the inducements, your Petitioners would beg to point out here that the prisoner SHUM IN was, contrary to the Gaol Regulations, a few days after his conviction, put on light labour without the doctor's order, by Mr. Max, the Superintendent of the Gaol; and he was released from prison, on the 30th of November, before he had completed five months of the nine months to which he had been sentenced, therefore the encouragement he received for making false statements against your Petitioners is apparent.\n\n6.-Your Petitioners TANG CHUNG (No. 1 in paragraph No. 1) and YEUNG FAT (No. 1 in paragraph No. 2) were on the 12th July, 1897, suddenly taken into gaol by the Captain Superintendent of Police, who was also the Superintendent of the Gaol, and by his order stripped, searched and locked up, without, at the time, any reason for such treatment being assigned them. They were detained in gaol until the 16th July, when they were banished for promoting gambling.\n\nYour Petitioner O MI CHEUNG (No. 4 in paragraph No.1) was taken into gaol on the 15th July and detained there until the 21st July, when he also was banished for promoting gambling.\n\nFull particulars of the manner in which your three petitioners named in this paragraph were treated in gaol and of the promises held out to attempt to induce them, and of the threats used towards them to attempt to compel them, to perjure themselves and falsely incriminate their superior officers, at the prompting of the Captain Superintendent of Police and the Crown Solicitor, are contained in these your three Petitioners' statements taken by the British Vice-Consul at Canton, as set out in schedules A, B, and C, hereto.\n\n7.-Your three Petitioners named in paragraph No. 6 beg to point out, moreover, that their detention and imprisonment in Victoria Gaol under banishment orders was utterly illegal. The law relating to banishment expressly states that persons whom the Governor in Council directs to be banished are to be detained by the Police, when detention is necessary, until they are prepared to leave the Colony. Further, the law on the matter was definitely laid down for the information of the Captain Superintendent of Police, by Sir John CARRINGTON, the Chief Justice of Hongkong, on the 21st May last, in an appeal cause in the Supreme Court of that Colony. Therefore, the Captain Superintendent had no excuse for acting in the illegal and arbitrary manner he did, in imprisoning your three aforenamed Petitioners without any warrant or authority other than his own will.\n\nThese your three Petitioners further complain that in direct opposition to the Prison Regulations, they, while detained in gaol, were not allowed to see their friends, and were only allowed to see their solicitors until after they had been two days imprisoned.\n\n8.-Your Petitioners, exclusive of those named in paragraph No. 6, were on the morning of the 21st July, 1897, called before Captain Superintendent MAY, who told them that there had been gambling houses in Wah Lane and in Cheung Hing Lane for the last three years and that those your Petitioners had not reported them. He further told those your Petitioners that their names were entered in a book as persons in receipt of bribes and that therefore they were useless for duty and were to be banished for five years; accordingly, they were banished on that day.\n\nPage 90\nPage 91", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-283 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black - 1898 [5-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 366682, "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": "CO129-283 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black - 1898 [5-6]", "page_number": 91, "title": "CO129-283 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black - 1898 [5-6]", "content_text": "## \n9. With regard to the allegation that gambling had been carried on in the two lanes named in the last paragraph, your Petitioners (except O MI CHEUNG No. 4 in paragraph No. 1) who was in the Water Police and therefore had nothing to do with gambling, and WONG KEUNG (No. 6 in paragraph No. 1) who was employed on P. & O. Ships) were aware that within the period named gambling had been carried on, on and off, in various houses in the said lanes, but seldom in one for more than a few successive days at most, while it was often removed once or more a day. But your Petitioners can truthfully assert that within that three years, notwithstanding an order from Captain Superintendent May that they, as detectives, were not to trouble themselves about gambling, they have frequently reported the gambling to Inspectors, that the houses were often broken, and that your Petitioners generally assisted in raiding them. Your Petitioners have also often reported gambling houses and assisted in arresting gamblers in other parts of Hongkong, as the records of the Detective Office will show. Further, your Petitioners beg to point out that there always has been and, so far as they can learn, judging from the present indications, there always will be gambling in Hongkong.\n\n10. Except the examinations, in gaol, of your Petitioners YEUNG FAT, TANG CHUNG, and O MI CHEUNG, by way of attempting to extort a false confession of guiltiness from them, as set out in schedules A, B, & C, hereto, none of your Petitioners were ever brought to any form of trial. If the Captain Superintendent had any evidence that either of your Petitioners was guilty of receiving bribes, he could not have shrunk from his duty of charging him with the offence, in a proper manner. But the Captain Superintendent, acting apparently on some vague, malicious information first obtained banishment orders against your Petitioners named in this paragraph, in order to use them as weapons with which to extort from those named in them incriminatory statements against their superior officers, and failing in that purpose the banishment was carried out. After the illegal treatment your Petitioners were subjected to, the Captain Superintendent necessarily banished them in his own defence and to avoid legal proceedings against himself. Your Petitioners submit that was the real ground of their banishment.\n\n11. Your Petitioners respectfully submit that there was nothing in their conduct nor in any evidence brought against them to show that they had ever taken any part in promoting gambling while, if they had been granted a fair trial with liberty to call evidence, they could have proved that they had for many years taken a very active part in suppressing all kinds of gambling. Your Petitioners further submit that the reason nominally assigned for banishing them was at the time the order was made known to be a fictitious one, but the Captain Superintendent desired for his own purpose to keep your Petitioners out of Hongkong and as they were neither thieves nor persons dangerous to the peace and good order of that Colony, but men of excellent character, he made such representation to His Excellency the Governor as induced him in Council to issue orders for their banishment.\n\n12. As stated in paragraph No. 1, your Petitioners named in that paragraph were entitled to police pensions, and of those, through their arbitrary banishment and dismissal, they have been unjustly deprived. All your Petitioners were for a long time residents in Hongkong and had their families and friends residing there. By their banishment they have been compelled to take their families out of that Colony, they have been severed from all their old associations in the Colony, and they have, after having spent the best years of their lives in the Police service of Hongkong, been obliged to leave there in the manner stated.\n\n13. As your Petitioners feel convinced that you, Sir, would never knowingly acquiesce in, or sanction, such arbitrary injustice being done to any one, and especially not to those who, though aliens, have faithfully served in the public service of a British Colony, they most respectfully beg that you will order a proper inquiry to be made into their case and allow them to return to Hongkong to give evidence at it. But, if, Sir, you do not consider such an inquiry necessary, your Petitioners beg that you will order the cancelment of their dismissal and the withdrawal of their banishment orders, and be pleased to grant pensions to those who have earned them, and your Petitioners as in duty bound will ever pray.\n\nThey are, Sir,\n\nYour most humble, obedient servants\n\n# \n\n## \n22 \n\n*Leung Shing \n1410° Mi Cheung, \n४ \n9 \n11 \n11 \n12 \n13 \n14 \n\n## \nUn Hing \n* 1⁄2 (Wong Heung) \n(Hi Hing) \n\n# B (bhing \n唐見 \nMau: \nAn (Tong Kin) \n染性忠! \n** (Leung Kwai Chur \n3.1 \n#Yeung \n梁林 \nFol) \n24. # (Leung Lam) \n42. this To Tung, \n11 Tong Shing) \n15 \n16 \n17 \n18 \n19 \nDo No \n黄福 \n(Ng You) \n** Wong Buck, \n楊東 \nthe * (Yeung Loi) \n** \n20 黄德 \n21 \n(Wan Ngo) \n(Chi Tsoi) \ntie (Wong Tak) \n(Iwan Shing)", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-283 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black - 1898 [5-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 366685, "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": "CO129-283 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black - 1898 [5-6]", "page_number": 94, "title": "CO129-283 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black - 1898 [5-6]", "content_text": "## C.O. 18287 90 10\n\n\"I know nothing about it.\" I then said, \"Your honour, give me permission to send to my house for something to eat, I have not eaten anything for several days.\" He replied, \"I will not give you permission,\" and in English, \"I don't care if you die.\" I asked also permission to be allowed to see my wife, and he refused.\n\nIn the afternoon, I was taken out again before Mr. May and Mr. Ewens, solicitor.

(1) Your Petitioner TANG CHUNG, ex P.S. 100, enlisted in the Police Force of the Colony of Hongkong on the 1st June, 1872, and served therein until the 12th July, 1897. During his service, he received promotions from grade to grade until, in 1894, he attained the highest rank a Chinese can hold, namely, that of a first-class sergeant. He was also the holder of a third-class good conduct medal.\n\n(2) Your Petitioner WONG PLA TAK, ex P.S. 158, enlisted in the said Police Force on the 21st August, 1875, and served therein until the 21st July, 1897, at which time he held the rank of a second-class sergeant. He was also the holder of a fourth-class good conduct medal.\n\n(3) Your Petitioner LEUNG SHING, ex P.S. 258, enlisted in the said Police Force on the 2nd September, 1875, and served therein until the 21st July, 1897, when he held the rank of a second-class sergeant.\n\n(4) Your Petitioner O MI CHEUNG, ex P.S. 398, enlisted in the said Police Force on the 1st July, 1882, and served therein until the 15th July, 1897, when he held the rank of a first-class sergeant in the Water Police.\n\n(5) Your Petitioner UN HING, ex P.C. 177, enlisted in the said Police Force on the 1st October, 1883, and served therein until the 21st July, 1897, when he held the rank of a first-class constable.\n\n(6) Your Petitioner WONG KEUNG, ex P.C. 184, enlisted in the said Police Force on the 18th April, 1880, and served therein until the 21st July, 1897, when he held the rank of a first-class constable.\n\n(7) Your Petitioner HU HING, ex P.C. 210, enlisted in the said Police Force on the 8th May, 1883, and served therein until the 21st July, 1897, when he held the rank of a first-class constable.\n\n(8) Your Petitioner CHING MAU, ex P.C. 214, enlisted in the said Police Force on the 24th April, 1880, and served therein until the 21st July, 1897, when he held the rank of a first-class constable.\n\n(9) Your Petitioner TONG KIN, ex P.C. 249, enlisted in the said Police Force on the 1st March, 1884, and served therein until the 21st July, 1897, when he held the rank of a first-class constable.\n\n(10) Your Petitioner LEUNG KWAI CHUNG, ex P.C. 181, enlisted in the said Police Force on the 16th August, 1884, and served therein until the 21st July, 1897, when he held the rank of a first-class constable.\n\nIt will be seen, therefore, that at the respective dates when, on account of their dismissal as hereinafter mentioned, your above-named Petitioners ceased to be members of the Police Force, they, having there served over ten years and having joined prior...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-283 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black - 1898 [5-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 366686, "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": "CO129-283 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black - 1898 [5-6]", "page_number": 95, "title": "CO129-283 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black - 1898 [5-6]", "content_text": "# Petition of Former Police Officers\n\n1. Your Petitioners YEUNG FIT, ex S. I. 69, and TANG CHUNG, ex S. I. 70, who were, on the 12th day of July, 1897, dismissed from the Police Force of Hongkong, had, prior to the 18th day of September 1884, been in the said Police Force, and consequently, up to the 18th day of September 1884, were, in accordance with the Police Regulations, each individually entitled to a pension.\n\n2. (1) Your Petitioner YEUNG FAT, ex P. C. 319, enlisted in the Police Force of Hongkong on the 3rd October, 1887, and served therein until the 12th July, 1897, when he held the rank of a first-class constable.\n\n(2) Your Petitioner LEUNG LAM, ex P.

C. 252, enlisted in the said Police Force on the 23rd July, 1889, and served therein until the 21st July, 1897, when he held the rank of a second-class constable.\n\n(6) Your Petitioner WONG FUK, ex P. C. 266, enlisted in the said Police Force on the 8th December, 1886, and served therein until the 21st July, 1897, when he held the rank of a second-class constable.\n\n(7) Your Petitioner YEUNG LOI, ex P. C. 332, enlisted in the said Police Force on the 7th May, 1888, and served therein until the 21st July, 1897, when he held the rank of a second-class constable.\n\n(8) Your Petitioner WAN NO, ex P. C. 145, enlisted in the said Police Force on the 1st December, 1886, and served therein until the 21st July, 1897, when he held the rank of a second-class constable.\n\n(9) Your Petitioner CHU TUNG, ex P. C. 269, enlisted in the said Police Force on the 1st August, 1887, and served therein until the 21st July, 1897, when he held the rank of a second-class constable.\n\n(10) Your Petitioner WONG TAK, ex P. C. 268, enlisted in the said Police Force on the 4th November, 1886, and served therein until the 21st July, 1897, when he held the rank of a second-class constable.\n\n(11) Your Petitioner KWAN SUING, ex P. C. 321, enlisted in the said Police Force on the 15th July, 1888, and served therein until the 21st July, 1897, when he held the rank of a second-class constable.\n\nYour Petitioners named in this paragraph having all joined the Police Force subsequent to the 13th September, 1884, were consequently none of them entitled to a pension at the time of their dismissal hereinafter mentioned.\n\n3. Your Petitioner WONG KONG (referred to in No. 6 of paragraph No. 1) had for several years prior to the 21st July, 1897, performed duty on the P. & O. Company's vessels in harbour, and his salary was paid by that Company. All your other before-named Petitioners were members of the Detective Department and had up to the 12th July, 1897, apparently given satisfaction to the Captain Superintendent of Police and to their other superior officers.\n\n4. On the 21st June, 1897, the Honourable F. H. May, C.M.G., the Captain Superintendent of Police, acting on information supplied to him, visited the second floor of house No. 3, East Street, which was subsequently shown to be the dwelling house and depot of certain men who had carried on gambling on the second floor of house No. 2, Wah Lane.\n\nIn the said No. 3, East Street, the Captain Superintendent arrested certain men suspected of being gamblers, but who were subsequently discharged, and seized certain account books and papers relating to gambling in No. 2, Wah Lane. He also, at the same time, seized about $1,000 and several articles of jewellery. Later, on the said 21st June, a Chinese detective, acting under the instructions of the then chief of the Detective Department, arrested a man named SHUM IN, who was charged with having kept a gambling house at No. 2, Wah Lane, and on the 7th July, he was convicted of the offence and sentenced to nine months' imprisonment with hard labour.\n\nIt appears that this prisoner was induced by the promises of his gaoler, the Captain Superintendent of Police, to make certain statements to attempt to connect your Petitioners with a certain list, purporting to contain the names or numbers of numerous officials in receipt of bribes from gamblers, which was found amongst the papers in No. 3, East Street.\n\n5. Apparently because of the fact of there being names on the said list similar to those of your Petitioners, and in consequence of false information supplied by the convict SHUM IN, who hoped, because of the promises then already made to him of being put to light labour and of being granted a remission of a part of his sentence, your Petitioners were suspected of having received bribes to withhold information of the gambling from their superior officers. With regard to the inducements, your Petitioners would beg to point out here that the prisoner SHUM IN was, contrary to the Gaol Regulations, a few days after his conviction, put on light labour without the doctor's order, by Mr. May, the Superintendent of the Gaol; and he was released from prison on the 30th November, before he had completed five months of the nine months to which he had been sentenced, therefore the encouragement he received for making false statements against your Petitioners is apparent.\n\n6. Your Petitioners TANG CHUNG (No. 1 in paragraph No. 1) and YEUNG FAT (No. 1 in paragraph No. 2) were on the 12th July, 1897, suddenly taken into gaol by the Captain Superintendent of Police, who was also the Superintendent of the Gaol, and by his order stripped, searched, and locked up, without, at the time, any reason for such treatment being assigned to them. They were detained in gaol until the 16th July, when they were banished for promoting gambling.\n\nYour Petitioner O MI CHEUNG (No. 4 in paragraph No. 1) was taken into gaol on the 15th July and detained there until the 21st July, when he also was banished for promoting gambling.\n\nFull particulars of the manner in which your three Petitioners named in this paragraph were treated in gaol and of the promises held out to attempt to induce them, and of the threats used towards them to attempt to compel them to perjure themselves and falsely incriminate their superior officers, at the prompting of the Captain Superintendent of Police and the Crown Solicitor, are contained in these your three Petitioners' statements taken by the British Vice-Consul at Canton, as set out in Schedules A, B, and C hereto.\n\n7. Your three Petitioners named in paragraph No. 6 beg to point out, moreover, that their detention and imprisonment in Victoria Gaol under banishment orders was utterly illegal. The law relating to banishment expressly states that persons whom the Governor in Council directs to be banished are to be detained by the Police, when detention is necessary, until they are prepared to leave the Colony. Further, the law on the matter was definitely laid down for the information of the Captain Superintendent of Police by Sir JOHN CARRINGTON, the Chief Justice of Hongkong, on the 21st May last, in an appeal case in the Supreme Court of that Colony. Therefore, the Captain Superintendent had no excuse for acting in the illegal and arbitrary manner he did, in imprisoning your three aforenamed Petitioners without any warrant or authority other than his own will.\n\nThese your three Petitioners further complain that, in direct opposition to the Prison Regulations, they, while detained in gaol, were not allowed to see their friends, and were only allowed to see their solicitors after they had been two days imprisoned.\n\n8. Your Petitioners, exclusive of those named in paragraph No. 6, were on the morning of the 21st July, 1897, called before Captain Superintendent MAY, who told them that there had been gambling houses in Wah Lane and in Cheung Hing Lane for the last three years and that those your Petitioners had not reported them.

It renders unnecessary the separation of villages hitherto united, removes all danger of disputes about water rights, and obviates any interference with the present system of local self-government, on the support of which the success of British administration in the new territory must to a great extent depend.\n\nIt should also be noted that, according to the map attached to the Convention, this places the south-west part of the island of Lafftao outside the area to be leased as the 113° 52′ E. longitude is the western boundary of the new territory. To obviate such an untenable position, 113° 50' E. longitude should be taken as the limit of the western boundary.\n\n## PREVENTION OF SMUGGLING\n\nThe question of smuggling from Hong Kong is one which has given more trouble than almost any other ever since the foundation of the colony. Steps have been taken again and again to prevent smuggling, and to aid China in the collection of its revenue, and all the return the Government of Hong Kong has received from the Chinese for these attempts to assist them has been the establishment of Customs barriers at the creeks to the harbour of Hong Kong (see `Map XI.`), and a watchful patrol of the waters adjacent to the colony by cruisers and launches of the Chinese Imperial Maritime Customs, ever ready to overhaul the native shipping going to and from Hong Kong. Those who treat the question of smuggling from the Chinese point of view seem to forget what has been done in the past by Hong Kong on behalf of China. They are fond of describing the colony as a centre of smuggling, and drawing very exaggerated pictures of the smuggling operations carried on from there. The accounts of such persons should be largely discounted.\n\nThe whole difficulty lies in the geographical position of the Colony of Hong Kong, which is so situated that smuggling into China may be checked, but can never be altogether prevented. It is obvious that the extension of the colony will not decrease the facilities for smuggling, especially if a mere stream instead of a well-defined range of hills is selected as a boundary.\n\nOpium has always been the chief article smuggled. To prevent the smuggling of it, special legislation has been introduced by the Government of Hong Kong, which has resulted in a considerable decrease of its revenue, whilst China still maintains around Hong Kong a fleet of cruisers and launches.\n\nIf it is considered desirable, in view of the pledge given by Great Britain to China to prevent, so far as possible, smuggling, to still further control the export of opium from Hong Kong, I am of opinion that this can be best effected by a bonding system.\n\nAll opium, on its arrival at Hong Kong from India, should be bonded, and no opium should be allowed to be removed from bond except under proper guarantees as to its destination, or shipped without the harbour master being furnished with a copy of the bill of lading.\n\nThe Customs of China should be supplied with regular returns of all shipments. The Opium Farmer of Hong Kong should be made to account clearly for every chest of raw opium supplied to him, and should not be allowed to handle more raw opium than is necessary to meet the opium-smoking requirements of Hong Kong and of the new territory, and the demands of the prepared opium export trade to Australia, America, and elsewhere.\n\nThese precautionary measures are sure to decrease the revenue of Hong Kong. If they are adopted, the Government of China should not hesitate either to lease the whole of the `San On` district or to adopt that boundary line which is the best in the interests of all parties concerned.\n\n## KOWLOON CITY\n\nThe city of Kowloon is called in Chinese `Kaufung Shing`. The term `Shing` is the ordinary one used for a city by the Chinese. It originally seems to have signified a rampart surrounding a space; but it is now always applied to a city surrounded by a wall or rampart, as all Chinese cities are. The Convention refers to the retention of jurisdiction within the city of Kowloon, thus clearly showing that the walled city is meant.\n\nKowloon is situated about a quarter of a mile from the sea shore. It is enclosed by a stone wall built in 1847, forming as nearly as possible a parallelogram, measuring 700 feet by 400 feet, and enclosing an area of 6 acres. The wall is built of granite ashlar facing, is 15 feet in width at the top, and averages in height 13 feet. The wall has six watch towers, at present occupied as family dwellings, and two gateways, with doors made of wood and lined with iron sheeting. The parapet wall is built of granite, and has 119 embrasures. It is approached by four flights of stone steps. (See Sketch Plans of Kowloon City and Neighbourhood, `Maps VIII.` and `IX.`, and photographs.)\n\nAccording to a return (see `Appendix`) furnished by the Deputy Magistrate, the total population of Kowloon city is 744; the garrison amounts to 544; the civil population to 200. The officials stationed within the city are, with the exception of one civil officer, a Deputy Magistrate, military officers, the head of whom is the Colonel Commanding. This officer is the chief military officer in the district of `Say O`; is immediately subordinate to the `Ti Tu`, or General in Command of all the land forces in the province of `Kwong-tung`. The Colonel's jurisdiction is purely a military one, extending over the whole district of `Say O` and the islands adjacent thereto. His original headquarters were at `Tang` (see `Map VII.`, showing residences of officials), and his official designation is still `Tai Pang Hip`, or Colonel stationed at `Tang`, at which place he has a yamên, or official quarters. The reason for his having taken up a residence within the city of Kowloon was to place him in closer relations with the Colony of Hong Kong.\n\nAs the garrison now under the command of the Colonel is maintained for the defence of the district of `Saf O` and the adjoining islands, and as the larger portion of that district and most of the islands are to be leased by the British Government, most of the soldiers now supposed to exist under the Colonel's command will be disbanded or transferred elsewhere, whilst the services of those retained will be required not within, but outside the territory referred to in the Convention. The residence, therefore, of the Colonel Commanding and of his troops within the city of Kowloon is entirely unnecessary. But even if it were necessary, the military requirements for the defence of Hong Kong must surely render it impossible to allow the retention in the very heart of the territory of a garrison of soldiers belonging to a foreign power, however friendly that power may be.\n\nThe only civil officer resident within the city is a Deputy Magistrate. He is appointed not to control the 200 civilians resident within the city, who are really subject to the military, but to exercise a somewhat extensive jurisdiction outside the city, throughout a large portion of the new area. When that area has been taken over, there appears to be no reason why this office of Deputy Magistrate should continue to exist, as the jurisdiction now exercised by him will be merged in the administration of the territory under British rule.\n\nThe civil population within the city of Kowloon, amounting to 200, lives there simply because it is dependent on the military. It does not engage in trade, there being no shops of any kind within the city. If the military remove from the city, the civil population is sure to follow, so that there will be no one remaining over whom a Chinese officer could exercise jurisdiction.\n\nIn any case, it appears to be entirely inconsistent with the military requirements for the defence of Hong Kong to allow a garrison town like Kowloon to be occupied permanently by Chinese military officers and troops. If that view be accepted, there seems to be nothing to justify the retention of Chinese jurisdiction in any shape or form within the city, for without the garrison the population will, it is certain, be reduced to nothing.\n\nShould any civilians remain after the removal of the military, they might be allowed to establish a native tribunal presided over by the elders and gentry, but subject, of course, in the same way as the other native tribunals throughout the territory, to the control of the travelling magistrate, and possessing the right of appeal to the Council of the `Tung`, and finally to the Resident Commissioner.\n\nIn conclusion, it may, I trust, be gathered from the account of the new territory that it will form a valuable extension of Hong Kong. It is favourably situated, has good harbours, with safe anchorages, possesses a rich soil, and is inhabited by an industrious, hardy, and frugal race. Under Chinese rule, enterprise has been at a discount, and progress has been at a standstill for centuries. The `Sap O` district of to-day must be much the same as it was four or five hundred years ago. But when British rule is established, and the people realise that justice prevails, that they are allowed to pursue their avocations in peace and freedom from illicit extortions, and that there is no unnecessary interference with their manners and customs, the spirit of enterprise will soon manifest itself, capitalists will be attracted to a region where their capital is not liable to official \"squeezes,\" the resources of the country will be developed, and its prosperity will continue to increase.\n\n## 638\n\nJ.

Your Petitioner WAN NGO, ex P.C. 145, enlisted in the said Police Force on the 1st December 1886, and served therein until the 21st July, 1897, when he held the rank of a second-class constable. \n\n(9.) Your Petitioner CHU TSOI, ex P.C. 269, enlisted in the said Police Force on the 1st August 1887, and served therein until the 21st July, 1897, when he held the rank of a second-class constable. \n\n(10.) Your Petitioner WONG TAK, ex P.C. 268, enlisted in the said Police Force on the 4th November 1886, and served therein until the 21st July, 1897, when he held the rank of a second-class constable. \n\n(11.) Your Petitioner KWAN SHING, ex P.C. 921, enlisted in the said Police Force on the 15th July, 1888, and served therein until the 21st July, 1897, when he held the rank of a second-class constable. \n\nYour Petitioners named in this paragraph having all joined the Police Force subsequent to the 13th September, 1884, were consequently, none of them entitled to a pension at the time of their dismissal hereinafter mentioned. \n\n3.-Your Petitioner WONG KEUNG (referred to in No. 6 of paragraph No. 1) had for several years prior to the 21st July, 1897, performed duty on the P. & O. Company's vessels in harbour, and his salary was paid by that Company. All your other before-named Petitioners were members of the Detective Department and had up to the 12th July, 1897, apparently given satisfaction to the Captain Superintendent of Police and to their other superior officers. \n\n4.-On the 21st June, 1897, the Honourable F. H. MAY C.M.G., the Captain Superintendent of Police, acting on information supplied to him, visited the second floor of house No. 3, East Street, which was subsequently shown to be the dwelling house and depot of certain men who had carried on gambling on the second floor of house No. 2 Wah Lane. \n\nIn the said No. 3, East Street the Captain Superintendent arrested certain men suspected of being gamblers, but who were subsequently discharged, and seized certain account books and papers relating to gambling in No. 2, Wah Lane. He also, at the same time, seized about $1,000 and several articles of jewellery. Later, on the said 21st of June, a Chinese detective, acting under the instructions of the then chief of the Detective Department, arrested a man named SHUM IN, who was charged with having kept a gambling house at No. 2, Wah Lane, and, on the 7th July, he was convicted of the offence and sentenced to nine months imprisonment with hard labour. \n\nIt appears that this prisoner was induced by the promises of his gaoler, the Captain Superintendent of Police, to make certain statements to attempt to connect your Petitioners with a certain list, purporting to contain the names or numbers of numerous officials in receipt of bribes from gamblers, which was found amongst the papers in No. 3, East Street. \n\n5.-Apparently because of the fact of there being names on the said list similar to those of your Petitioners, and in consequence of false information supplied by the convict SHUM IN, who hoped, because of the promises then already made to him of being put to light labour and of being granted a remission of a part of his sentence, your Petitioners were suspected of having received bribes to withhold information of the gambling from their superior officers. With regard to the inducements, your Petitioners would beg to point out here that the prisoner Shum In was, contrary to the Gaol Regulations, a few days after his conviction, put on light labour without the doctor's order, by Mr. MAY, the Superintendent of the Gaol; and he was released from prison, on the 30th of November, before he had completed five months of the nine months to which he had been sentenced, therefore the encouragement he received for making false statements against your Petitioners is apparent. \n\n6. Your Petitioners TANG CHUNG (No. 1 in paragraph No. 1) and YEUNG FAT (No. 1 in paragraph No. 2) were on the 12th July, 1897, suddenly taken into gaol by the Captain Superintendent of Police, who was also the Superintendent of the Gaol, and by his order stripped, searched and locked up, without, at the time, any reason for such treatment being assigned them. They were detained in gaol until the 16th July, when they were banished for promoting gambling. \n\nYour Petitioner O MI CHEUNG (No. 4 in paragraph No.1) was taken into gaol on the 15th July and detained there until the 21st July, when he also was banished for promoting gambling. \n\nFull particulars of the manner in which your three petitioners named in this paragraph were treated in gaol and of the promises held out to attempt to induce them, and of the threats used towards them to attempt to compel them, to perjure themselves and falsely incriminate their superior officers, at the prompting of the Captain Superintendent of Police and the Crown Solicitor, are contained in these your three Petitioners' statements taken by the British Vice-Consul at Canton, as set out in schedules A, B, and C, hereto. \n\n7.-Your three Petitioners named in paragraph No. 6 beg to point out, moreover, that their detention and imprisonment in Victoria Gaol under banishment orders was utterly illegal. The law relating to banishment expressly states that persons whom the Governor in Council directs to be banished are to be detained by the Police, when detention is necessary, until they are prepared to leave the Colony. Further, the law on the matter was definitely laid down for the information of the Captain Superintendent of Police, by Sir JOHN CARRINGTON, the Chief Justice of Hongkong, on the 21st May last, in an appeal case in the Supreme Court of that Colony. Therefore, the Captain Superintendent had no excuse for acting in the illegal and arbitrary manner he did, in imprisoning your three aforenamed Petitioners without any warrant or authority other than his own will. \n\nThese your three Petitioners further complain that in direct opposition to the Prison Regulations, they, while detained in gaol, were not allowed to see their friends, and were only allowed to see their solicitors until after they had been two days imprisoned. \n\n8.-Your Petitioners, exclusive of those named in paragraph No. 6, were on the morning of the 21st July, 1897, called before Captain Superintendent MAY, who told them that there had been gambling houses in Wah Lane and in Cheung Hing Lane for the last three years and that those your Petitioners had not reported them. He further told those your Petitioners that their names were entered in a book as persons in receipt of bribes and that therefore they were useless for duty and were to be banished for five years; accordingly, they were banished on that day.\n\nPage 422", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-289 - Individuals - 1898.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 370350, "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": "CO129-289 - Individuals - 1898", "page_number": 433, "title": "CO129-289 - Individuals - 1898", "content_text": "423 \n\n9.-With regard to the allegation that gambling had been carried on in the two lanes named in the last paragraph, your Petitioners (except O MI CHEUNG No. 4 in paragraph No. 1) who was in the Water Police and therefore had nothing to do with gambling, and WONG KEUNG (No. 6 in paragraph No. 1) who was employed on P. & O. Ships) were aware that within the period named gambling had been carried on, on and off, in various houses in the said lanes, but seldom in one for more than a few successive days at most, while it was often removed once or more a day. But your Petitioners can truthfully assert that within that three years, notwithstanding an order from Captain Superintendent MAY that they, as detectives, were not to trouble themselves about gambling, they have frequently reported the gambling to Inspectors, that the houses were often broken, and that your Petitioners generally assisted in raiding them. Your Petitioners have also often reported gambling houses and assisted in arresting gamblers in other parts of Hongkong, as the records of the Detective Office will show. Further, your Petitioners beg to point out that there always has been and, so far as they can learn, judging from the present indications, there always will be gambling in Hongkong.\n\n10.-Except the examinations, in gaol, of your Petitioners YEUNG FAT, TANG CHUNG, and O MI CHEUNG, by way of attempting to extort a false confession of guiltiness from them, as set out in schedules A, B, & C, hereto, none of your Petitioners were ever brought to any form of trial. If the Captain Superintendent had any evidence that either of your Petitioners was guilty of receiving bribes, he could not have shrunk from his duty of charging him with the offence, in a proper manner. But the Captain Superintendent, acting apparently on some vague, malicious information first obtained banishment orders against your Petitioners named in this paragraph, in order to use them as weapons with which to extort from those named in them incriminatory statements against their superior officers, and failing in that purpose the banishment was carried out. After the illegal treatment your Petitioners were subjected to, the Captain Superintendent necessarily banished them in his own defence and to avoid legal proceedings against himself. Your Petitioners submit that was the real ground of their banishment.\n\n11.-Your Petitioners respectfully submit that there was nothing in their conduct nor in any evidence brought against them to show that they had ever taken any part in promoting gambling while, if they had been granted a fair trial with liberty to call evidence, they could have proved that they had for many years taken a very active part in suppressing all kinds of gambling. Your Petitioners further submit that the reason nominally assigned for banishing them was at the time the order was made known to be a fictitious one, but the Captain Superintendent desired for his own purpose to keep your Petitioners out of Hongkong and as they were neither thieves nor persons dangerous to the peace and good order of that Colony, but men of excellent character, he made such representation to His Excellency the Governor as induced him in Council to issue orders for their banishment.\n\n12.-As stated in paragraph No. 1, your Petitioners named in that paragraph were entitled to police pensions, and of those, through their arbitrary banishment and dismissal, they have been unjustly deprived. All your Petitioners were for a long time residents in Hongkong and had their families and friends residing there. By their banishment they have been compelled to take their families out of that Colony, they have been severed from all their old associations in the Colony, and they have, after having spent the best years of their lives in the Police service of Hongkong, been obliged to leave there in the manner stated.\n\n13.-As your Petitioners feel convinced that you, Sir, would never knowingly acquiesce in, or sanction, such arbitrary injustice being done to any one, and especially not to those who, though aliens, have faithfully served in the public service of a British Colony, they most respectfully beg that you will order a proper inquiry to be made into their case and allow them to return to Hongkong to give evidence at it. But, if, Sir, you do not consider such an inquiry necessary, your Petitioners beg that you will order the cancelment of their dismissal and the withdrawal of their banishment orders, and be pleased to grant pensions to those who have earned them, and your Petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray.\n\nThey are, Sir,\n\nYour most humble, obedient servants\n\n黄羗 (Wong Keung) \n柯美彰 (O' Mi Cheung) \n梁桂忠 (Leung Shing) \n黄羗 (Wong Heung) \n鄭義 (Ching Mau) \n唐見 (Tong Kin) \n楊發 (Young Fat) \n梁林 (Leung Lam) \n陶通 (To Tung) \n廖勝 (Liu Shing) \n吳有 (Ng You) \n楊来 (Yeung Loi) \n黄德 (Wong Tak) \n关胜 (Kwan Shing) \n王品德 (Wong Prin Tak) \n梁沛忠 (Leung Hwai Chung) \n黄福 (Wong Fuk) \n胡兴 (Hu Hing) \n温五 (Wan Ngo) \n黄才 (Wong Chi) \n李瑞 (Lai Isoi)", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-289 - Individuals - 1898.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 370654, "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": "CO129-290 - Governor Sir Blake - 1899 [1-4]", "page_number": 255, "title": "CO129-290 - Governor Sir Blake - 1899 [1-4]", "content_text": "## Government House, Hong-Kong, 15th March, 1899\n\nI have the honour to transmit to you the following Sessional Papers.-\n\n(1) Report of the Captain Superintendent of Police for the year 1898.\n+6 th Feby. 1899 pare copies bach.\n\n(2) Report of the Superintendent of Fire Brigade for 1898.\n\nHas not there been some separate correspondence during the last year regarding increased pay for the Police?

However, the output should be in HTML using `` for paragraphs.\n\n## Step 4: Analyze the given text\nThe text is a jumbled mix of characters, place names, and what appears to be a guide or map information. It includes English and Chinese text, with some words and characters that are not clearly legible or are mixed up due to OCR errors.\n\n## Step 5: Determine the output format\nDespite the instruction to output in HTML, the initial steps and rules suggest a Markdown formatting approach. However, the final output must be in HTML.\n\n## Step 6: Begin proofreading\nGiven the complexity and the mixed nature of the text, the first step involves identifying and correcting obvious OCR errors, such as misspelled words, incorrect spacing, and broken characters.\n\n## Step 7: Reorganize the text\nThe text seems to be a collection of place names, geographical features, and possibly touristic information. Reorganizing it into a coherent structure while maintaining the original content is essential.\n\n## Step 8: Correct specific errors and format\nCorrecting \"San-on-in\" to \"San-on-in\" (no change needed), \"Pakshel\" to \"Pak Shel\", \"Tho-tsun\" to \"Tho-tsun\" (no change), and other similar corrections. Also, reformatting tables and lists, and ensuring that file references are correctly formatted without spaces.\n\n## Step 9: Address the specific requirements for output\nSince the output needs to be in HTML and the input is a complex mix of text, the focus should be on preserving the original information while correcting errors and improving readability.\n\n## Step 10: Realize the complexity of direct conversion\nDirectly converting the given text into a coherent HTML format while correcting OCR errors and following the specific rules provided is highly complex due to the text's nature and the mix of languages.\n\nThe final answer is: \n\nSan-on-in \n\nPakshel \n\n'Tho-tsun \n\nyung \n\nCheung-ha \n\nKen-diau \n\n+++ Ma-Eck-we \n\n*** \n\nTaishan 1. \n\nTun-tan O \n\nAcung· \n\nChili wan \n\n...\n\nathaches were \n\n25 ft \n\ndelivered nu \n\ntobili \n\nA \n\nItalim now being \n\n& perpred \n\nItation \n\n47 \n\nbuilt \n\nhow the \n\nMing Couchuulid \n\nAAA \n\nhivshad \n\nWan ha \n\n# \n\n22ft \n\nisft \n\n+ \n\nSai-he \n\ndeung-chi hok \n\nMud banks \n\njuf't \n\nBluck rink \n\nDEEP \n\nBAY \n\nSha-ho \n\nShut-mi \n\nSan-tau \n\nOyster \n\nbeds \n\nKong ho \n\nWony-Bang \n\nShek-ha \n\nShui Woi \n\nMud \n\nM u d \n\n banks \n\nNgai hem \n\n-the Lad \n\nSan Wai \n\nTai-slati \n\nNam-vita \n\nis not \n\nPale-long \n\nTuk \n\nTang-ku 1. \n\ndang \n\nShiu-chau \n\nLang \n\nNot wai \n\nba \n\n\" \n\n$ \n\nLong-Ising \n\nf \n\nM \n\nShap-pal hening \n\nTaising \n\nHa-mi \n\nWang-chan \n\nShe \n\n6/ \n\nHa-Tu \n\nSa's Kha \n\nTang-shan... \n\n** Chrung uk-tuz \n\n• Piany shan+a \n\nGrewing po \n\nKak \n\nIn \n\nPaddy \n\n1 d \n\nVin-long-hi \n\nPak-ut. \n\nCheung-ah-chann \n\n0 \n\nYou-tin \n\nTi-same \n\nLo-ún \n\nShan Tung wi \n\nCL \n\n@Sui-hang O \n\nTing du wei \n\n*Tong-x-uni \n\nSt-Lin \n\n2000 \n\nThe TOURISTS GUIDE \n\nwith \n\nto HONG \n\nKONG \n\nSHORT TRIPS to the MAINLAND of CHINA \n\nREFERENCES \n\nPROGRAMMES \n\n℗ Mandarin Station & Village.

These were all members of the Chinese Detective Staff, except the last three who were in the Water Police. The interpreter in the Water Police Wong Hing Cheung I also learned received bribes. I then asked Yeung Fat how much Stanton wanted. He said $50 a month. He said that Quincey wanted $50 a month also. He also said that he would receive the money for various Chinese detectives also. I promised to pay Stanton and Quincey $50 a month each from the 1st of the next month. I cannot remember exactly what month it was that I began to pay in.

The said Ho Fook paid me my wages of twenty dollars a month whilst I remained away. He told me before I left he would write and let me know when I could return to Hong-Kong. I received a letter from the said Ho Fook about two months after I had left Hong-Kong telling me I might return. I had left my wife and family in Hong-Kong. I reached Hong-Kong about three days after I received such letter. On my arrival I reported myself to the said Ho Fook who requested me to go and see Mr. Francis Henry May. I went and saw him at the Central Police Station on the following day when I made a statement to him which he took down in writing and which I signed and of which I verily believe a true copy is hereunto annexed. I made such statement freely and voluntarily. No threat was used in order to extract such statement from me neither was the promise of any reward or other advantage held out to me provided I made such a statement.\n\n5. Referring to such statement I distinctly remember Yeung Fat first speaking to me about the police being bribed to induce them to refrain from interfering with the smuggling of opium.

Yeung Fat was then a Chinese Detective in the Hong-Kong Police Force and Inspector Stanton's Assistant. Yeung Fat's statement to me was to the effect that when Pang On and Wong Kam were Chief Chinese Excise Officers they used to pay hush money (expenses) to the Police, and he asked me why I did not pay it. I said I was a new man, but I would enquire.\n\n6. I accordingly made enquiries of old Excise Officers and of Shea Wai accountant to the Opium Farmer. I was told that hush money was paid to the Police, that it was paid every month but only during the months when the smuggling of Opium took place. Also that the Opium Farmer did not pay the hush money but that it was paid by those who smuggled the Opium. The accountant Shea Wai told me that Wong Yau was the man who found the money required for the Police, I knew Wong Yau. He was a countryman of mine. Wong Yau was a broker and I was told used to purchase from the Opium Farmer for the smugglers the opium intended to be smuggled.\n\n6. I was told the names of various members of the Police Force, both European and Chinese as those who were paid hush money. I was told that the European Members of the force who were paid hush money were Inspectors Corcoran, Stanton and Quincey and Sergeant Holt. I was told that the Chinese members of the Force who were paid hush money were Young Fat himself, also Detectives Tang Chung, Wong Pun Tak, Leung Shing, Mi Cheung, Chu Tsoi, Hu Hing, Cheang Mau, Chu Fung, Leung Kwai Chung, Yu Po, Chu Kwai Lam, Lo Cheung, Chung Muk Sing, and Chung", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-291 - Governor Sir Blake - 1899 [5-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 371441, "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": "CO129-291 - Governor Sir Blake - 1899 [5-6]", "page_number": 190, "title": "CO129-291 - Governor Sir Blake - 1899 [5-6]", "content_text": "186\n\nThe first occasion was about two months after I had joined as Chief Chinese Excise Officer.

I would suggest that the Registrar General send for Mr Li Shing who is the Chairman of the Coy and the largest shareholder, and question him. So far as I can ascertain no purchases of land have been made by the Company since the date of the Convention. The Company was started some years ago, when there was a talk of making a railway between Kowloon and Canton. The land bought was, I believe, purchased at prices considerably in advance of the market rate as it was anticipated that the railway scheme would ultimately enhance the value of land. The Scheme however fell through. I do not believe for a moment that the people were frightened into selling their land. No complaint has ever reached me or been made to the Chinese Government regarding such sales, which have been effected in many cases long before it was known that the territory was to be leased to Great Britain. It appears to me that the real fact of the case is that those who resisted the British are hunting about for an excuse to lessen the gravity of their offence. They commence by saying that the leasing of the territory was false and that the Empress Dowager had ordered resistance. They then carried their story further by declaring the leasing of the territory was not really known to the Hong Kong authorities, but was the work of a few adventurers.

Has the Roman Catholic church in the meantime learned a lesson? No. Glorying in her immutability she remains semper eadem.\n\nSome time ago the RECORDER depicted vividly the outrages at Kho-khoi, perpetrated by a certain Chau A-ming and his followers. The account given was from the able pen of Dr. Ashmore. Last year a paper dealing with a similar subject, and written from Swatow by Mr. McKibben, appeared in the same journal. If I am not mistaken Mr. Ross, of Moukden, has published elsewhere an account of startling facts regarding the wrong doings of the Catholics in Manchuria; and Bishop Moule, in reviewing a French book, has lately uttered in the North-China Herald bitter complaints of mischief done by the Catholics in his diocese. In all these cases, where the mischief wrought by the Catholics was so palpable, the priests made common cause with the Christians and supported them in their insubordination against the Chinese authorities. No wonder that the animosity of the people, already deep, grows into a hatred, which at length finds vent in a paroxysm of violence.\n\nIn the Shing-shai-ngai (words of warning to a prosperous people) a Mr. Cheng Knan-ying takes no pains to conceal his hatred of Christianity. He says: \"Since Christianity has been established in China, the protection it has secured by treaty for its converts is used to screen wicked and infamous men from justice. Many enter the church for the express purpose of developing their nefarious schemes under her protecting banner, and the missionaries aid them in their evil designs.\" Mr. Cheng is, however, careful to discriminate between the Protestant and Catholic branches of the church. The former he absolves from the wholesale condemnation of his strictures, even citing as missionary authors worthy of commendation Dr. Allen, Dr. Fryer, Dr. Faber and the Rev. Timothy Richard.*\n\nThis policy of \"screening wicked and infamous men under the protecting banner\" of the church is much to be deplored by everyone who is really solicitous for the welfare of the church; and the fact itself cannot be gainsaid. The eighteen provinces of China echo with the complaints to which it gives rise. Protestant missionaries have learned to reckon with it; and the great conference at Shanghai in 1901 will have to define its position in regard to this policy. In the meantime missionaries ought to collect the facts which have come to their knowledge and have them published in the RECORDER. Public opinion must be aroused and a storm of indignation awakened against the dark deeds of men who endanger the cause of true Christianity, and on account of whom the name of God is blasphemed among the gentiles.\n\n3\n\nHitherto I have refrained from publishing anything on the subject because more pressing duties lay heavy upon me. At the same time I hoped that English and American brethren, whom I knew to be in possession of a great many facts throwing light on the question, would tell us something about their experiences with the disciples of Loyola. At length, however, the atrocities committed by so-called Catholics in this part of China have been of such a nature that it is quite impossible to keep silent.\n\nIf I were to publish the material gathered by me within the last three years, it would almost fill a volume; but it is not my intention to go back to certain things now past. I only want to call attention to a case which happened quite lately in our Mission.\n\nThe centre of the Rhenish Missionary Society in China is at Tung-kun, a yuen city of considerable size. In this city our Mission is represented by two ordained missionaries, two medical missionaries and one single lady missionary. More than ten years ago we opened medical work there, which has enlarged year by year, and is now doing a widespread good to the densely populated district.\n\nThe people of Tung-kun do not bear a good reputation. They are known to be very lawless and riotous, and caused considerable trouble to the authorities at Hongkong when the hinterland of that colony was ceded or leased to Great Britain.\n\nThe Catholic church has lately made great advances amongst certain classes of Tung-kun people. Veteran robbers, beyond the pale of law, and amateurs in intrigue, have sought a refuge in this church in order to create disorders. For years we have had much friction with them, which has been patiently borne by us and our people. The worst we ever encountered happened two months ago at Pak-kong, a large village up the east river, belonging to the Tsang-shing district, but bordering closely on the Tung-kun district, in which our main work lies.\n\nIt was on the 29th of July that some inquirers at Pak-kong very early called on the Rev. Franz Zahn, who is at present the missionary in charge of Tung-kun, to ask his help. They told him that a gang of robbers, several hundreds in number, had on the previous night quite suddenly surrounded their village and blocked up all the entrances. This done, the gang led by a French priest,\n\n468", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-294 - Governor Sir Blake - 1899 [10-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 373744, "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": "CO129-294 - Governor Sir Blake - 1899 [10-12]", "page_number": 474, "title": "CO129-294 - Governor Sir Blake - 1899 [10-12]", "content_text": "8\n\nbeen completely sacked, even partly burnt down. The damage caused by this outrageous attack and robbery amounts to thousands of dollars.\n\nBefore I proceed to say something about the settlement of the imbroglio, of which I have now given a particular and true account, I take occasion to inquire briefly into the possible reasons which have led Père Julien to conduct himself more like a captain of robbers than a priest.\n\nI must, however, premise that owing to the never-ending troubles with the Catholics, Mr. Ricke, another missionary of our Mission, and I had a conference at Canton last year with three Catholic priests in the presence of the French and German Consuls, in order to find some modus vivendi. We attained to something like an agreement. Stipulations had been drawn up by us, which met the approbation of both Consuls, and partly also of the priests.\n\nOne of these stipulations runs thus: \"Whenever Catholics get at variance with heathen, Protestants shall abstain from interference, and vice versa.\"\n\nNow it must be conceded that Mr. Zahn, in his dealings with the people of Pak-kong, had little regard to this clause. He knew them to be wronged by the Catholics in a most cruel way, and thought himself entitled at least to espouse their cause to the extent of allowing them to enroll their names in his books, and he even baptized a few of them. In this he was no doubt wrong, and I do not defend him, though I think it pardonable in the case of a young and ardent missionary, whose heart cannot but burn with anger when he sees what takes place daily under the cloak of religion. Mr. Zahn has suffered for his precipitation, for he knows by sad experience what view a French priest takes of his calling and how he practises it.*\n\nIt remains for me to give an account of the settlement of this case. It goes without saying that the German Consul, as soon as he got a full report of the affair, did his utmost to get justice done to Mr. Zahn. He arranged a meeting at the German consulate between Père Julien and Mr. Zahn, in which he himself with the French Consul took part. It must also be said that the French Consul, after getting full proof of the guilt of his client, showed as much consideration.\n\nIn his memorial presented to the governor, the magistrate of Tsang-shing relates an interview he had with Mr. Julien at Pak-kong. To his face he blamed him for his behaviour, asking him why he allowed his people to rob and to remove property belonging to other people, rendering thereby men and women of several families homeless and destitute; surely, he said, this is not admonishing people to practise good. On which the teacher had only evasive and empty words, B1 以縦合教民任意搬搶以致各家男婦流離失所珠不做勸人爲著所為 該教士一支吾掩飾、\n\n9\n\nIt was not to be expected that Mr. Julien would at once plead guilty. Though he played his role as Pak-kong so unblushingly, he was not quite himself when confronted with Mr. Zahn in the presence of his Consul and the representative of Germany. His attempts to hush up and to deny the facts were disproved step by step. When he at last saw himself driven into a corner, he had recourse to an expedient so absurd and at the same time so significant, as showing the means to which the Catholics resort against us, that I cannot refrain from communicating it for the amusement of the readers of the RECORDER. Mr. Julien produced a flag with the German colours, bearing the inscription: Tai Tak-kwok Lai Yin-ni Fuk Yam-tong-chapel of the Rhenish Missionary Society of Germany! This flag had been, so Mr. Julien said, in the possession of Mr. Zahn when he was seen by the Chinese marching with flying colours. Alas, this barefaced lie at the head of the gang of robbers! which out-Heroded Herod, proved a forlorn hope. The flag produced was spick and span new, bought and manufactured. There was not even method in this bit of madness, for the manufacturers of this unfortunate flag had not even been at the pains to show by the seams that their handiwork had not been in use at all! Mr. Julien had nothing left to him except to confess that the flag had been procured and manufactured at Canton!\n\nTo be brief, after a consultation between the two Consuls, it was agreed upon:\n\n1. That Mr. Julien should apologize in the presence of the Consuls and Mr. Zahn for his misconduct, which he did, after having also confessed that he himself was the person who led his party to attack and ransack Pak-kong by night.\n\n2. That the French mission should pay $50 to Mr. Zahn as an indemnity and further return the stolen watch and other property belonging to him.\n\n3. That Mr. Julien should be transferred to another sphere of labour.\n\n4. That the robbers should be dealt with according to Chinese law; both Consuls jointly placing the whole affair in the hands of the Chinese authorities with a written undertaking not to influence them in any way.\n\nHas\n\nSince these terms were agreed upon six weeks have elapsed. We are entitled to ask, what has been done in the meantime? Has the agreement been carried into effect? Has punishment been meted out to the transgressors of the law?\n\nExcept the humiliating apology of Mr. Julien and the payment of fifty Mexican dollars, not much has been accomplished. According to a communication received by the German Consul from the French bishop at Canton, Mr. Julien has been transferred to another place far from Pak-kong, and has been replaced there by a prudent and circumspect priest. But what about the punishment of the robbers? The governor of Canton has asked the magistrate of Tsang-shing to investigate the case and to deal with the robbers accordingly.\n\n471", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-294 - Governor Sir Blake - 1899 [10-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 373745, "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": "CO129-294 - Governor Sir Blake - 1899 [10-12]", "page_number": 475, "title": "CO129-294 - Governor Sir Blake - 1899 [10-12]", "content_text": "cording to the law. In his reply to the governor, of which I obtained a copy through the German Consul, the magistrate of Tsang-shing, with whom we have no relations at all, confirms the truth of the whole story as I have told above, adding that the Catholic Christians of Pak-kong and neighbourhood are known to be lawless people, always bent on mischief. He even goes so far as to call their teacher (a Chinese) \"a chief of evil doers, an originator of calamities.\"* The Protestant Christians of that district,\" he goes on to say, \"were, so far as he knew them, a law-abiding people, mostly consisting of farmers and shopkeepers, not daring to cause disturbances or to act wrongly.\"†\n\nNevertheless the Chinese government remains inactive. The evil doers escape unpunished. More than that; they are allowed to pursue their nefarious activities. No one dares to attack them, because they are screened under \"the protecting banner\" of the church, or rather of France.\n\nIn his memorial presented to the governor, the magistrate mentions the fact that most of the evil doers being Tung-kau people, belong to the jurisdiction of his colleague, the magistrate of Tang-kau. This man knows the individual names of the evil doers and could deal with them one by one. He has been ordered by the governor and entreated by Mr. Zahn to arrest them. All in vain. He would be the last to do it, since he himself, though a heathen, is so entirely in the hands of the Catholics. His secretary, by whose help he obtained part of the money to buy his post, is a \"Catholic.\" Some time ago this man was guilty of embezzlement as a lottery office keeper in Canton. Prosecuted by the governor, he fled to the Catholics, and was accepted by them. Now he is, as I have said, secretary to the Tang-kon magistrate, and carries out his exactions under the \"banner\" of the church. Part of the gentry of Tang-kan applied the other day to the governor at Canton to put this man on his trial as a prisoner. All in vain. Screened by the church he is unassailable, though he has been, and still is, one of the vilest of characters. Since this man is known to be acting in concert with some of the inmates of the Catholic chapel at Tung-kun, it is not to be wondered at that the magistrate dares to remain inactive; but I hope the last word has not yet been spoken. Though we are obliged to put upon ourselves some kind of restriction on account of the undesired rapprochement between Germany and France, we trust that power enough is left in the hands of our Consul to insist that the terms agreed upon shall be carried out effectively, the more so since the French Consul has given him the explicit assurance that the engagements entered into shall be fulfilled.\n\n* G*. \n\n†十白红腿音教民或淼店營生或脂为您漿大箾安分未敢滋事為非\n\nEnclosure 1.\n\nBEWEEN ROMAN QUARRELS \n\nCATHOLIC AND PROTESTANT \n\nMISSIONS.\n\n(Daily Press, 11st September, 1899.) The keen animosity that prevails between Roman Catholics and Protestants in China, and the attempts made by rival factions of Natives to secure the support of the missionaries in their local disputes and clan fights, are calculated to raise a crop of serious difficulties. From various parts of the country accounts come to hand from time to time of fights between the adherents of the two forms of the Christian religion, and with the growth of Christian communities in numbers, power, and influence, we may eventually see something in the nature of a pseudo-religious war break out, if the missionaries cannot succeed in controlling their congregations better than they seem to be able to do at present.\n\nThe Ostasiatische Lloyd in a recent number published a remarkable story of an occurrence almost on the borders of our own colony, namely, in the Tungkan district, which has a direct bearing upon this question. The story is prefaced by a few remarks to the effect that the disorder in Kwangsung exercises a prejudicial influence upon the peaceable development of the missions in the South, that mixed up in the disturbances are found Christians who, as so often happens in Kwangtung, try to make political and personal gain out of their religion, and that in quarrels not infrequently the hangers on of the Catholics are to be found on the one side and those of the Protestants on the other.\n\nThe narrative of the particular occurrence in question has reached our contemporary in a fragmentary form and with what are evidently bold embellishments, but the editor has heard something of the other side of the case and endeavours to hold the scales fairly. It is stated that on Saturday, the 28th July, Herr FRANZ ZAHN, a Rhenish missionary stationed in Tungkun, was informed by a few of the local Christians that the village of Pak-kung, an out-station of the mission, had been attacked by a band of some three hundred men under the direction of the French priest, Father JULIEN, during the night, and had been plundered. Herr ZAHN, to whom the statement seemed incredible, immediately set out for the place, accompanied by an evangelist, to ascertain the facts. On his arrival at Pakkung he was immediately surrounded by a band of some twenty men armed with swords, pistols, and knives, who threw him to the ground and robbed him, the clothes being torn off his back. The evangelist fared no better. Herr ZAHN was then dragged into the Catholic chapel, bound hand and foot, his neck was loaded with a heavy steel chain, and he was thus placed before Father JULIEN. The latter, holding a gun in his left hand and with his fist raised, sprang towards Herr ZAHN, and seemed to be directing the people, so that Herr ZAHN took him for the head robber. In the presence of this man Herr ZAHN was also beaten and derided. To the question why he had come there Herr ZAHN made answer that he wished to visit and speak with Father JULIEN, \"That is he,\" said all, pointing to the leader.\n\n\"We must omit,\" says the Ostasiatische Lloyd, \"what took place between the two Europeans. Our authority was not present at the interview and to avoid misunderstanding we must confine ourselves to what was reported to him.\" This apparently cautious statement throws suspicion on the whole narrative, for it is evidently founded on hearsay through Chinese at that, for he. Herr Zahn being the original authority he would have been able to report the conversation. However, passing over the interview, the narrative goes on to say that on Sunday morning, after they had been compelled to sign a document which they afterwards learnt was a statement that they parted in peace, Herr ZAHN and his companion were released, and almost dead with fatigue they arrived back at Tungkun. The matter has since been represented to the German Consulate.\n\nOur contemporary's authority continues:-\"It is high time something was done. The French priests carry themselves as if they were already lords of Kwangtung, and they will take advantage of the weakness of the Chinese Government to further strengthen their position. The latter knows too well what is going on to be ignorant of the priests with arms threatening not only Chinese life and property, but also the Protestant missionaries.\"\n\nFrom another source the Ostasiatische Lloyd learns that Father JULIEN afterwards explained that it was correct that he had become involved in a disturbance, but stated that he was not opposed to Herr ZAHN, as the latter seemed to assume, and that when he sprang forward at the time of their interview it was for the purpose of appeasing the mob and restraining them from outrage. Our contemporary continues:-\"In any case a searching enquiry by the German authorities will be necessary. Father JULIEN afterwards excused himself to Herr ZAHN and stated that the Protestants would be compensated by the Catholic mission for their actual losses. Also it seems that Father JULIEN is shortly leaving Pakkung for another district, and that he had only gone there a few months before in compliance with a request from people who, it transpired, lived in contention with their neighbours and were desirous of securing the aid of the Catholic mission.\" Such is the information concerning this remarkable case furnished by our Shanghai German contemporary.\n\nNo one will for a moment believe that the Roman Catholic priest was in any way personally responsible for the outrages to which Herr ZAHN was subjected, and if the latter, as alleged, signed a document stating that they parted in peace it is incredible that he would do so in ignorance of its contents. So far therefore as the personal relations of Father JULIEN and Herr ZAHN are concerned no complaint seems to lie against the former. The incident, however, affords an indication of a peculiar and important movement that is going on in China, but one which does not often obtrude itself on the notice of foreign residents and which is therefore not likely to receive the attention it deserves. All over China the assistance of the missionaries is in request for political and pecuniary reasons, and keen rivalry exists between the Protestants and Roman Catholics. It is only occasionally that such a state of affairs is brought into prominence, but this happens occasionally, when such incidents as that at Pakking are recorded, and it was only the other day that Bishops of the Roman Catholic and Anglican Churches were engaged in a newspaper controversy at Shanghai respecting the rights and wrongs of a quarrel between their respective adherents in one of the districts in which the clergy of both Churches are at work.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-294 - Governor Sir Blake - 1899 [10-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 373746, "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": "CO129-294 - Governor Sir Blake - 1899 [10-12]", "page_number": 476, "title": "CO129-294 - Governor Sir Blake - 1899 [10-12]", "content_text": "Triathe \n\nGez. v.

As stress is laid upon the condition in the convention relating to the city of Kowloon it may remove misconception if I state that it refers only to the walled town, which is smaller than Eaton Square and contained in October last a population of 1,444, of whom 644 were soldiers who will have to be removed in any case.\n\nMr. R. G. WEBSTER.--Practically this small Alsatia will be swept away?\n\nMr. CHAMBERLAIN.--I do not think it is an Alsatia. I think the Alsatia to which the hon. member refers, if it exists at all, is in the suburbs of the city and not within the walled town.\n\n32064–28900-12-03\n\negnent Paper.\n\n18 at once\n\nThis has met hen angared\n\nMr. Chamberlain with no doubt answers it and perhaps it will be represented to you\n\n& the this presteras\n\nKhis\n\nAn\n\navt Lt\n\nbeardly beste\n\nThe city of Kowloon referred to in the Convention is described as indicated by its Chinese name Kiu diing Shing the part\n\nPage", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-295 - Public Offices - 1899.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 374280, "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": "CO129-295 - Public Offices - 1899", "page_number": 353, "title": "CO129-295 - Public Offices - 1899", "content_text": "finani farmer\n\non\n\ntiansus under Orday 2 of\n\n1891, no doubt the Ord carefully refrains\n\ninterfering with the\n\nadulterate ofman\n\nas\n\nfama', rijal\n\nbe pleases; but I there is nothing to present his being proceded against under the\n\nruffom these\n\nunder the food and\n\nDings ord by (180/1894) if he adulteratio\n\nglove\n\nit.

I have received information that when they got as far as Lan Pan Tau in the Ham Kwong Sz in the Ying Tak District, in the To Shiu Chau Prefecture, the junk in which they were was attacked by pirates, who took 15 head of good cattle. They first booked 21 head on shore and they then went on board the vessel to search, the boat sank and the nine cattle on the boat were drowned. The pirates picked out the best cattle, 13 in number, from the 21, leaving 8. The sailors got a boat and took the 8 to Canton, the pirates took off with the 13.\n\nOn the 6th of November I had 64 cattle on two boats, which were pirated a little below Lin Wan Tau at Tai Miu Hap in the Ying Tak District. The pirates took 26, selecting the best.\n\nAbout a week ago I had 12 cattle coming down with others in 7 boats, the cattle in which amounted in all to some 300 head, from To Shing on the West River.

These do not go about in \nuniform & wear no distinctive marks or clothes. They are \ndressed as ordinary people & mix with every class. The work of \nthe detectives & informers has made Hongkong an unwelcome place \nfor robbers, pirates, Triad men & other bad characters. \n\nHe hinted that it would be a good plan to inform \nhim beforehand whenever the Hongkong authorities are about \nto banish a Triad man so that he may be captured on landing. \nThat, I said, might be arranged between the Hongkong & Canton \nauthorities without much difficulty. \n\nH.E. said he is dealing with these pirates & \nrobbers with a strong hand. Nearly a thousand of them have \nbeen decapitated & even Bannermen have had no mercy shown \nthem. He thinks that their object is wealth & that no \npolitical significance can be attached to their motives. I \nexplained that they would join any local uprise, political, \nanti-foreign or otherwise, & do their utmost to overthrow \norder so as to have a free hand in plunder & robbery.

The Puntis came from `Nam Hoi`, `P'ün`, `Tung Kum`, `Sau B`, `Shan Tak`, `Shing Shan`, `Sau Wong Fuk`. `Wong Fuk` was the leader (`Tsung Ping Tai Un Shin`); `Ho Ts'dung` was the 2nd in command (`I Un Shei`). `Wong Kung` was the `Tso Sen Fung`; `Li Pal Tam` was in command of 220 men from `Ngau Tso Pei` in `Kwai Shin`. `Li Po` was in command of the Middle Camp (`Chung Ying`) composed of 500 men. `Li Po` broke out of gaol in `Wai Chou` last year. There were others whom I did not know. I was in command of 100 men. I was placed in command by `Cheng Sz lěung` and `Wong Fuk`.

About 100 joined us. On the morning of the 13th (6th October) we went to `Sha Wan` market town. There were Chinese soldiers there. There were about 50 soldiers there belonging to `Ho`'s command. A fight took place. About ten of the soldiers were killed and others wounded. Two of the rebels were killed. All the arms of the soldiers were seized.\n\nThe people at `Sha Wan` abstained from helping either side. On the 6th October we advanced to `Wang Kong` and had our meal there.

H. Stewart-Lockhart, C.M.G.\n\n14 OCT OF\n\nThorus of late celebrated physicians have discovered that the infection of malaria is caused by mosquitoes which, though the smallest of insects, are able to injure man. This Notification is issued for the protection of the people.\n\nFor the mosquitoes first imbibe the blood of persons suffering from Malaria, which causes the minute poisonous living organisms to enter the blood and be retained in their trunks. When they sting those without sickness (in their systems), the same thing happens as if they were sowing the seeds for a disease, and there is no limit to the flow of the poison.\n\nYou must know that mosquitoes can (thus) propagate disease amongst people, and that these are not statements without foundation.\n\nIn future, you must be careful to watch against (mosquitoes) and devise means to destroy them, so that they shall not be in existence.\n\nPay attention to the larvae; in the water, you should exert yourselves more to exterminate them by robbing them out and preventing them from injuring human beings.\n\nWithin and without houses, and in court yards, kitchens, and all other places, useless crockery must not be placed, as water can gather in them and cause the mother mosquitoes to deposit their eggs, and many larvae of mosquitoes are produced which burst their cases and become mosquitoes.\n\nThis is important. Do not, because it seems a small matter, despise it.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-306 - Governor Sir Blake - 1901 [8-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 381751, "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": "CO129-306 - Governor Sir Blake - 1901 [8-9]", "page_number": 464, "title": "CO129-306 - Governor Sir Blake - 1901 [8-9]", "content_text": "Page 460\n\nB[ritish] Consul's Office, Hongkong, 15th May, 1901.\n\nSir,\n\nIn reply to your letter of the 18th instant, I am directed to inform you that His Excellency the Governor has been pleased to approve the extradition of Goon Shing and Long Kwal, who were accordingly handed over to Sergeant Yong on the 23rd instant.\n\nThe extradition was made subject to the guarantee that a consular officer shall be present at the trial before sentence shall be inflicted.\n\nHis Excellency will be glad to receive reports from time to time of the progress of the trial.\n\nI have etc.,\n\n(Sgd.)

The body was then transferred by Lam Man and Li Shing, two of the crew of the undertaker's boat, from the launch to their boat. The damper was cut open, the body removed, and placed in the hold of the boat. The undertaker's boat then sailed to Yaumati, from which place it was towed by the Steam Launch \"Yum Hing\" to Chik Wan. Cheung Cho Ting paid for the undertaker's boat and the two launches, but did not accompany the body further than to Stonecutters Island. Chik Wan was reached at about 4 A.M. on the same day. At 5 A.M., the Chinese Gunboat \"Kwong Hang\" came alongside; a passenger from the Un Hing got on board the Gunboat. The crew of the Gunboat put two blocks of ice upon the undertaker's boat with instructions to place one piece on the dead man's chest and the other on his thighs. The Gunboat, with the undertaker's boat in tow, passed the Imperial Maritime Customs Station at Tai Shan without the boat being examined and proceeded to Tai Ping, near Fu Mun, the headquarters of Admiral Ho.

This would be a signal to the men outside the City to put up proclamations, stating that they would protect the people, and they would raise up their flag, with green characters on a white ground (green representing heaven and white the sun). They intended to carry the rebellion throughout the various prefectures and districts. They have already collected $180,000 and on two occasions have imported weapons and ammunition. In the 9th month of last year through the assistance of a European they bought from an Insurance Company over 20 cases of Mauser Rifles and 1,000 Revolvers, which were taken and placed in the Godown of a European Merchant on the Shameen at Canton. On the 6th day of the 12th month 3 or 4 thousand Mauser Rifles and 40 or 50 boxes of cartridges were imported into Canton and distributed amongst the various prefectures and districts, and left in charge of the rebel leaders in those places.\n\nWith regard to the Arms and Ammunition stored at Canton, the rebels fearing that they might be discovered, between 3 or 4 on the 30th of the 12th moon they placed them in coffins, took them out of the North Gate and buried them in some hilly ground.

BERKELEY (ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE),\n\n#### TRIAL OF LUI CHUI alias LI KWAI SAU CHARGED WITH MURDER.\n\nThe trial was continued of Lui Chui alias Li Kwai Sau who was charged with the murder of a Reformer schoolmaster at 52, Gage Street on 10th January, 1901.\n\nMr. E. H. Sharp, K.C., Acting Attorney General (instructed by Mr. F. B. L. Bowley, Crown Solicitor), conducted the prosecution; and Mr. T. Morgan Phillips, barrister-at-law, was for the defence.\n\nA Choe, examined by Mr. Sharp, said he was employed at present as a cook on board the `Zafiro`. He knew the prisoner, who was nicknamed \"Sow (jutting teeth)\" by reason of the peculiar formation of his teeth. Witness's brother Chan Lam Tsai was a member of the gang, and was executed because two letters were found in his possession by Li Ka Chuk. Witness had seen and read the letters, which did not relate to the murder directly, simply asking his brother to come down to Hongkong from Canton, as the Government of Hongkong wanted him. One of the letters was sent by Mui (the Chinese for Mr. May, then Captain Superintendent of Police).\n\nCross-examined - Before the death of Kuo Wau, prisoner was unknown to him. Prisoner was not present at the bone of witness's brother and at Li Ka Chuk's barracks in Canton. It was Li Ka Chuk who instructed his brother to carry out the murder. He first saw prisoner at the barracks after the death of Yeung Kue Wan. Witness's brother said in the barracks that the prisoner ran away when he heard shots.\n\nRe-examined - He did not see the ordering or payment of the $2,000 to the prisoner; the orders for the payment of $2,000 each to his brother and Tong Chung.\n\nKong Ngan Ying, a fishmonger from Yanwati, deposed that he first met the prisoner January, 1901, at West Point with Lam Tsai and others. There they went into a teahouse. He knew Lam Tsai. Afterwards he saw that two of the others along with the prisoner were Tung Chung and Tsai Fak. He saw prisoner again on 10th January at West Point in the Street; along with him were Chan Lam Tsai, Tung Chung, and Tsui Fak. They went to an eating-house. After that they went to the house of Ng Lo Sam, whom he had known between ten and twenty years. Li Chi Tin, secretary to Li Ka Chuk, was there; also named Yeung Ching Kai, captain of the braves. Li Chi Tin asked him whether he \"wished to go or not.\" Witness asked \"Go where?\" Li Chi Tin replied \"To go to shoot Yeung Kue Wan.\" Witness said he was not going. Prisoner and the others were all present. Li Chi Tin then said \"Why don't you go? There is a reward of between $10,000 and $200; we, we can be the trevious night, will get an appointment as a mandarin\"; \n\nThe others agreed to go, namely, the prisoner first and did the actual shooting. Tung Chung, Lam Tsai, Tsui Fuk, and Tung Cheung did not go to Hongkong. On the afternoon of 10th January, he saw the gang again, four of them stood in front of Young Kue Wan's house. The prisoner walked ahead of Lam Tsai and the others. Three of the gang received the greater part of the money reward; these were the prisoner, who got $2,000; Lam Tsai $2,000; and Tung Chung $2,100. They also got buttons of the fifth rank, along with the diplomas of rank, one in the possession of his elder brother Lam Tsai and one in the possession of Tung Chung.\n\nChan Wan, fisherman, Yanwati, said he had known the prisoner for several years. He met him on the marriage boat on or about 1st November, 1900. Prisoner asked him to go on shore with him to drink tea and smoke opium in the opium divan. Prisoner said Young Kue Wan was a rebel and the Chinese Government had offered a reward of between $10,000 and $20,000 for his capture; would witness assist him? Witness refused, saying he had not the courage. Prisoner said he did not need to be afraid, as he would get a reward and the Chinese Government would protect him. The reward was to come from Li Ka Chuk. Prisoner said Yeung Kue Wan resided in Hongkong.\n\nWong Shing, fisherman, stated that before the murder he met the prisoner, who asked people to assist him in shooting Kong Kua (Yeung Kue Wan). He refused. Prisoner then asked for the use of witness's boat for the purpose of kidnapping the deceased. Witness refused; his partner A Sum promised. At that time it was mentioned that there would be a reward of $35,000 if Young Kue Wan was killed and $10,000 if he was captured alive, the reward to come from Li Ka Chuk of the Chinese Government.\n\nSergeant E. O'Sullivan stated that he made the arrest acting on the information of Wong Ta Fak. He did not know how Wong Shing came to be in communication with the police. When the prisoner was put in Victoria Gaol he had seen none of the witnesses but Wong Shing. Some days later prisoner was paraded among 13 others for identification and was identified by Kong Ngau Ying. Some time later there was another identification. The witnesses Chan Wau and Tam Chung identified him separately; Chan Chung also identified him.\n\nThe hearing was adjourned at this point.\n\n### CONTINUATION OF TRIAL.\n\nAt a few minutes before seven, Mr. Whyte concluded the evidence of A Choe, and the Court was accordingly adjourned until this morning, and the jury were removed to the Hotel d'Europe.\n\n## THE GAGE STREET MURDER TRIAL SENTENCE.\n\nThe jury retired to consider their verdict at 4:50, returning to the Court at 5 o'clock; and the Foreman announced that the jury unanimously found the prisoner guilty.\n\nHis Lordship directed the prisoner to be asked if he had anything to urge why sentence should not be passed upon him? The Prisoner replied that he did not do it; he had nothing more to say.\n\nMay 23, 1903. His Lordship addressing the prisoner said he had been found guilty of the murder of Yeung Kue Wan. When he said that he did not commit the murder, he meant that it was not his hand that this man met his death, but that he was one of a gang of four men who went to his house for the purpose of killing him and did kill him. The evidence was that the prisoner with Chan Lam Tsai and two others went to deceased's house, that he remained with another man outside to watch, that Lam Tsai and another man went into the house, and that Lam Tsai shot the deceased.\n\nThe sentence of the Court therefore was that he be taken from hence to the place from whence he came and from thence on a day to be fixed to the place of execution, and that there he be hanged by the neck until he be dead, and that thereafter his body be buried in such a place as the Governor may direct, and may the Lord have mercy on his soul.\n\nThe Acting Attorney-General in addressing the jury said his friend on the other side had asked every witness why he did not tell the police of the plot to murder Yeung Kue Wan, and each one had answered that he was afraid of the Chinese Government. And were they not safe under the protection of the Hongkong police? he asked. This case was an answer in itself. Yeung Kue Wan was not safe under the protection of the Hongkong police. It was questionable whether even now the lives of the witnesses who had given evidence were safe: it was a matter which it was better perhaps not to go into.\n\nThe Court adjourned.\n\n## CHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT.\n\nAt Pingto over 150 people were recently burned to death while worshipping in a temple. In burning incense and large quantities of paper, the staircase of the building was set alight, thus preventing all escape. Some jumped out of the windows but were crushed to death. The victims were burned beyond recognition. Others would have jumped but the rush was so great that they could not get out. Most of the victims were burned beyond recognition.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-317 - Governor Sir Blake - 1903 [4-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 389336, "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": "CO129-318 - Governor Sir Blake - 1903 [7-10]", "page_number": 239, "title": "CO129-318 - Governor Sir Blake - 1903 [7-10]", "content_text": "## TAP SING LANE\n| Number | Floor | Men | Women | Children | Total |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 1 Gr. | 1st | 11 | 0 | 3 | 14 |\n| 2nd | | | | | 0 |\n| 2 Gr. | 1st | 12 | 4 | | |\n| 3 Gr. | 1st | 10 | | | 18 |\n| 4 Gr. | 1st | 7 | 5 | 21 | |\n| | 2nd | 9 | | | 23 |\n| 5 Gr. | 1st | 7 | | | 14 |\n| | 2nd | 5 | 10 | 3 | |\n| 6 Gr. | 1st | 10 | | | 31 |\n| | 2nd | 16 | | | 16 |\n\n## YUM FUR LANE\n| Number | Floor | Men | Women | Children | Total |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 1 Gr. | 1st | 5 | 0 | 7 | 7 |\n| 2 Gr. | 1st | 2 | 3 | | |\n| 3 Gr. | 1st | 5 | | | |\n| 4 Gr. | 1st | | | | |\n| 5 Gr. | 1st | 7 | | | |\n\n## OS WAT LANE EAST\n| Number | Floor | Men | Women | Children | Total |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 1 Gr. | 1st | 3 | | | |\n| 2 Gr. | 1st | 186 | | | |\n| 3 Gr. | 1st | | | | |\n| 4 Gr. | 1st | | | | |\n| 5 Gr. | 1st | 9 | 0 | | 34 |\n| 6 Gr. | 1st | 12 | 1 | 4 | |\n| 7 Gr. | 1st | 14 | | | |\n\n## SHING FENG LANE\n| Number | Floor | Men | Women | Children | Total |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 1 Gr. | 1st | 10 | 2 | | 21 |\n| 2 Gr. | 1st | 4 | 6 | 0 | 1 |\n| 3 Gr. | 1st | 19 | | | |\n| 4 Gr. | 1st | | 1 | | 6 |\n\n## WA ON LANE\n| Number | Floor | Men | Women | Children | Total |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 1 Gr. | 1st | 3 | 0 | | |\n| 2 Gr. | 1st | 11 | | | |\n| 3 Gr. | 1st | 8 | 5 | 1 | |\n| 4 Gr. | 1st | 5 | | | 14 |\n| 5 Gr. | 1st | 12 | 14 | | |\n| 6 Gr. | 1st | 10 | 6 | | 16 |\n\n## CENTRE STREET\n| Number | Floor | Men | Women | Children | Total |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 1 Gr. | 1st | 4 | | | |\n| 2 Gr. | 1st | 5 | 2 | | |\n| 3 Gr. | 1st | 13 | | | 16 |\n| 4 Gr. | 1st | 16 | 0 | 16 | |\n| 45 Gr. | 1st | 13 | 0 | 16 | |\n| 46 Gr. | 1st | 12 | 0 | | 47 |\n| 47 Gr. | 1st | 16 | 6 | 24 | |\n| 48 Gr. | 1st | 12 | | | |\n\nThe total number of men, women and children are as follows:--\nMen, 4,600\nWomen, 1,686\nChildren, 1,415\nGrand Total, 7,701\n\n## ON WAI LANE WEST\n| Number | Floor | Men | Women | Children | Total |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 1 Gr. | 1st | | | | 9 |\n| 2 Gr. | 1st | 6 | 2 | 1 | |\n| | 2nd | 22 | | | |\n| 3 Gr. | 1st | 15 | | | |\n| | 2nd | 11 | 2 | | |\n| 4 Gr. | 1st | 10 | 15 | | 19 |\n\nTo His Excellency Sir HENRY A.

I do not know the number. It is in a street in Yaumati. About 20 men were at the entrance of the brothel, and the Sergeant took a piece of firewood and was in the act of throwing it at the people, but the girl took it from him. I saw the Sergeant enter the house. I do not know that he followed anyone. I saw him come out about ten minutes later, and he dispersed the crowd by waving his hand. They all went away but one man whom the Sergeant kicked. I saw the man fall after being kicked from behind. The Sergeant went away. I saw the man's thigh was bleeding. I then went away.\n\n### Cross-examined by Sergeant\n\nWhen the Sergeant first entered the house, I was standing at the entrance of the next house. I was standing at the right-hand side of the crowd.

I did not see any men in the house, Chinese or others. I did not see anyone leave the house.\n\n### Cross-examined by me\n\nThe girl caught hold of the Sergeant's hand. It was about 7 o'clock in the evening. It was dark, but there was a lamp in the entrance. The Sergeant was about 15 paces (points to that distance) from me when he kicked the man.

I attended the man Tsang Chak from the 6th August. He was suffering from rupture of the urethra and died on 7th. He died from suppression of urine following on the rupture of urethra. He must have received a blow on the urethra. It is in front of the anus. It was most probably caused by a kick. It might be caused by falling straddle-wise on a hard fence. The appearances were more consistent with a kick than any other cause. I think this arose from a blow, not a fall, from the bruised appearance extending to either side of the buttocks. The kick must have been given with considerable force. The deceased appeared about 56 and was a fairly feeble man. I performed the postmortem and found rupture of urethra and extensive bruise from behind the anus to buttocks. The bladder walls were thickened as from disease, but the state of the bladder did not cause suppression of urine.\n\nCross-examined by Mr Slade:- I think it unlikely it was caused by blow or shove of a piece of bamboo. The bamboo would injure the skin unless it met the skin at right angles. I think the toe of a boot more likely.\n\nShee Shing declared:- I live at Yaumati and am an engineer. On evening of 3rd August I saw a police sergeant in a brothel. The girl was playing with him so a number of people went up to look, so the Sergeant took up a piece of wood to throw it at the crowd and the woman took it away.

It appeared to me that, on the whole, the best plan would be to construct a large reservoir in the Tytam valley, below the existing Reservoir, in order to collect, not only any overflow from the said Tytam Reservoir, but also the waters of several streams, which join the main stream, below the said reservoir. The water of the proposed low-level Reservoir was to be pumped up to the level of the tunnel, which carries the water of the Tytam Reservoir, to the Town.\n\n10.\n\nA Report, describing this scheme, in general terms, was submitted, locally. Surveys were commenced. A Preliminary Specification of the Pumping-Engines was prepared, and it was sent home through the usual channel. Various tenders for Pumping Engines have been considered on the spot; one has been selected, and an order to proceed with construction has been received by telegram.\n\n11.\n\nIt might reasonably be asked why the erection of the Pumping Machinery should precede the construction of the Reservoir.\n\nThe answer to this question is as follows. Gaugings taken in the bed of the Tytam below the existing reservoir, showed that, during the extreme drought of 1901-1902, a flow of about one million gallons a day prevailed. If machinery had been available, this water might have been pumped to the town, forming a very welcome addition to the general supply.\n\nTherefore, it appeared that no time should be lost in procuring the pumping engines. This proposition has, apparently, been accepted by the Local Government, witness the Telegram, which I have cited.\n\n5", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-320 - Governor Sir Blake Acting Governor May - 1903 [11-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 390882, "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": "CO129-320 - Governor Sir Blake Acting Governor May - 1903 [11-12]", "page_number": 435, "title": "CO129-320 - Governor Sir Blake Acting Governor May - 1903 [11-12]", "content_text": "420\n\nMOLYSRO, ESIOP\n\nand osv\n\nHOAJNË PUOR\n\n-ONG WOO DAW I (52)-swa do vkguä-tades and galimosa20\n\nACHOS ELE Gevind was to nordijs enỬ THEEMNO0 03 19\n\n343 1340d-gava 10\n\nrue biozaur\n\n02\n\nMutinat-made\n\nTAM T\n\nA Jawiubou\n\nFANO, A\n\n.Si\n\n* Prom WITHAT GOURŢIANAS Lat\n\n**FATER\n\nThe inhabitants of tenements, on the lower levels, obtain a comparatively abundant supply, those nigher up, but little.

Chang Yin Huan fell into disfavour during the so-called coup d'Etat in 1898, and his life was saved by the personal exertions of myself and Marquis Ito, who happened to be visiting Peking at the time. He was, however, banished to Kashgaria. It was at this time that Sir Chentung behaved with great courage, standing by his chief at the imminent risk of his own life. The anti-foreign party, headed by Prince Tuan, never lost sight of Ching Yin Huan, and when they got their chance, during the siege of the Legations, procured an order for his immediate execution.\n\nI venture to think that Sir Chentung's views, more especially as to what would happen if the Dowager Empress were to die, are worthy of consideration. It should, however, be remembered that he is, and always has been, an enemy of Yung Lu.\n\nSir Henry Blake closes his observations by giving it as his opinion that the Chinese Government will, in the matter of concessions, follow the line of least resistance, and yield to the strongest demands, unless they feel that, in refusing unreasonable proposals, they will have the support of a strong and friendly nation. 'It is not impossible,' says Sir Henry, 'that Japan may adopt the rôle of that closest friend, an attitude that might secure for her important returns in the future.'\n\nI am quite in accord, judging from my experience of close on five years in Peking, in thinking that the Chinese Government will follow the line of least resistance, and yield to the strongest demands, but I am convinced, from what I have seen of the Japanese, that they are fully alive to the inadvisability of helping a Government which is entirely incapable of helping itself. Marquis Ito, in the course of a conversation with me last autumn, said that he considered the Chinese Government 'absolutely hopeless.' This was a judgment formed as a result of his visit to China in 1898, to which I have alluded above, but the performances of the Chinese Government since that date would not, I venture to think, inspire any sane person or Government to enter into the rôle of its 'closest friend.'\n\nI have, &c.\n\nOffice or Individual.\n\nforeign\n\n1903\n\n12 duch\n\nLast previous Paper.\n\n40\n\n8687\n\n(Signed)\n\nCLAUDE M.

I was born in Hongkong and educated in this Colony, America, and England; and was employed in the Registrar-General's Department for about nine years. I obtained a Certificate of my birth from the Colonial Secretary's Office on the ninth day of October, 1897.\n\nOn account of business engagements, I have now to reside in Macao with my family, and I wish to be registered there as a British subject.\n\nI called on H. B. M's Vice-Consul, Mr. F. O. Seaton, in Macao last July and applied for registration; but was informed by him that he did not keep a register of British-born subjects, and that should I desire to register myself in Canton, he would communicate with the British Consul-General at that port on my behalf.\n\nAbout a week afterwards the Vice-Consul informed me that he got a reply from H. B. M's Consul-General in Canton requesting me personally to go up there to see him.\n\nAccordingly I went to Canton in August and", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-322 - Acting Governor May - 1904 [1-5].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 392296, "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": "CO129-322 - Acting Governor May - 1904 [1-5]", "page_number": 315, "title": "CO129-322 - Acting Governor May - 1904 [1-5]", "content_text": "Return of Free Grants of land for Religious or charitable Purposes made by the Government \n\nof Hongkong for the period of 20 years from the 1st January, 1884, to 31st December, 1903.\n\n313\n\n \n No.\n Lot No.\n Date of Grant\n Area\n Estimate value\n Purpose for which made\n Remarks\n \n \n 1\n Stanley Inland Lot No. 15\n 24th June, 1884\n 5,287 Square feet\n $200\n Granted as a site for Mission School for Girls at Stanley\n \n \n \n 2\n Inland Lot No. 952, Kai Lung Wan\n 24th June, 1884\n 31 Acres\n $24,500\n Granted to the Tung Wa Hospital for Cemetery for Chinese\n \n \n \n 3\n Hunghom Inland Lot No. 168\n 25th December, 1887\n 3,600 Square feet\n $400\n Granted for the Kun Yam Temple, Hunghom\n \n \n \n 4\n Inland Lot No. 831\n 14th October, 1892\n 13,815\n \n \n \n \n \n 5\n Inland Lot No. 1,816\n 25th December, 1892\n 12,520\n \n \n \n \n \n 6\n Aberdeen Village Lot No. 20\n 1st January, 1893\n 5,800\n \n \n $270 granted for Tai Hau Temple, Aberdeen Village\n \n \n 7\n Pokfulam Lot No. 25\n 1st January, 1893\n 225\n \n \n $20 granted for Village Shrine at Pokfulam Village\n \n \n 8\n Kowloon Inland Lot No. 632\n 24th June, 1893\n 9,490\n \n \n $4,500 granted as a site for the Kowloon Soldiers and Seamen's Institute\n \n \n 9\n Kowloon Inland Lot No. 641\n 1st July, 1893\n 775\n $50\n Granted for the Pak Tai Temple at Hok Ün, Kowloon\n \n \n \n 10\n Ap Liu Chow Inland Lot No. 23\n 1st January, 1894\n 3,884\n \n \n $120 granted for the Hung Shing Temple at Ap Liu Chow Island\n \n \n 11\n Inland Lot No. 1,350\n 26th April, 1895\n 13,608\n $2,500\n Granted for the Extension to Existing premises of the Diocesan Female School\n \n \n \n 12\n Inland Lot No. 1,351\n 26th April, 1895\n 8,000\n \n \n $2,300 granted for the Yuk Bu Kung Temple, Hongkong\n \n \n 13\n Inland Lot No. 1,852\n 26th April, 1895\n 10,080\n $830\n Granted for the Tin Hau Temple, Tai Hang\n \n \n \n 14\n Ah Kung Nam Lot No. 28\n 26th April, 1895\n 260\n \n \n $20 granted for Village Temple at Ah Kung Nam Village\n \n \n 15\n Ap Liu Chow Inland Lot No. 24\n 26th April, 1895\n 425\n \n \n $15 granted for the Kun Yam Temple at Ap Liu Chow Island\n \n \n 16\n Stanley Inland Lot No. 1\n 26th April, 1895\n 456\n \n \n $15 granted for the Sin On Kung Temple at Stanley Village\n \n \n 17\n Stanley Inland Lot No. 2\n 26th April, 1895\n 578\n \n \n $20 granted for the Pak Tai Temple at Stanley Village\n \n \n 18\n Stanley Inland Lot No. 3\n 26th April, 1895\n 750\n \n \n $20 granted for the Shing Kung Temple at Stanley Village\n \n \n 19\n Kowloon Inland Lot No. 654\n 26th April, 1895\n 2,188\n \n \n $100 granted for the Sheung Tai Temple, Ma Tau Chung Village, Kowloon\n \n \n 20\n Kowloon Inland Lot No. 655\n 26th April, 1895\n 3,821\n $200\n Granted for the Tin Hau Temple, To Kwa Wan, Kowloon\n \n \n \n 21\n Kowloon Inland Lot No. 656\n 26th April, 1895\n 3,825\n $200\n Granted for the Tam Kung Temple, Kau Pui Shek, Kowloon\n Proprietary Temple granted at an annual rent of $64 without premium", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-322 - Acting Governor May - 1904 [1-5].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 392302, "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": "CO129-322 - Acting Governor May - 1904 [1-5]", "page_number": 321, "title": "CO129-322 - Acting Governor May - 1904 [1-5]", "content_text": "Report by the Registrar-General.\n\nC. 9.\n\n12580\n\n319\n\nCOFY.\n\n0\n\nHon.

The expression of the sentiments contained in the attached extract is nothing more than what it is reasonable to expect from Kang's disciples. Kang's published writings abound in the bitterest anti-European sentiments, and I have always been at a loss to understand the interest taken in him by the British Government. Before I went on leave in May, 1902, Dr. Ho Kai and myself submitted to Sir Henry Blake a translation of extracts from Kang's writings and it ought to be on record in your office or at Government House. I recommend the banishment of Kang Yu Wei, of Wong Kwan Yam (1), the registered printer and publisher, and of the four registered proprietors of whom only one is known to be in Hongkong at the present time:-\n\nChung Kwok-hing (49) 286, Des Voeux Road.

I took out a fishing licence for my junk. I paid $12 a year. I have the old licence.\n\nJunk Sun Tak Sing, (6th witness).\n\nHong Shing of Tai-kok-tsui states:- The name of my junk is Sun Tak Sing. I am still dredging with it at Ping Chau. I take out a licence. I have been dredging all along. I got 12 candareens per tau, before the Company started, net. Mine is a large junk. They pay more for shells from large than smaller junks because we get better shells. Now we get 12 candareens per tau. I stopped dredging for a few months at the commencement of the Company because the Company rented at 8 candareens per Tau and the lime burners would not buy the shells from me. I mean the Sham Shui Po lime burners. I sell now still to the Sham Shui Po lime burners at 12 candareens per tau net. The lime burners only want the shells collected from that spot because the shells are better than elsewhere. I have been dredging from the 14th year Kwang Hsu and my father before me. We never paid any licence fee to the Chinese Government. I signed the petition asking for compensation. My foreman ran away because they said we could not get money enough and I had to stop. I stopped from the 5th moon when the Company first started to the 9th moon last year. There were about 20 junks dredging in the 29th year. There are 8 dredging now. My junk is a Sai Kung junk. There were some other small junks from Sham Shui Po, but not many. They suffered loss because the Company levied licence fees and they had no money sufficient. The licence fee is heavier than the Customs' duty which the fire burners used to pay. Before the Company started, my share was a little more than $800 a year clear profit. My share now is more than 80 taels for last year. The $800 is for two shares, $150 each; the 20 taels only one share, about $90, because I stopped working from the 6th moon to the 9th moon, a little more than 4 months.

The police seized the junks; the sailors in the Government steam launch say so. That is why the fokis stopped working. I do not know myself. I only give you the information what the sailors say. I took between $1,000 and $2,000 a year for the shells I dredged. The expenses were over one half the income. Sometimes we got $100, sometimes $50, and at least $50 each as clear profit. There were 10 or 11 of us in the junk sharing profit. The junk got 1 and a half shares, and the individual one share. I took the junk's share. 1 mace 1 candareen is my calculation. I calculate by money; 1 and a half shares for the junk was for repair. I had also 1 share for myself. I did not make any claim for compensation at the time I stopped dredging. I did not care to make any claim then. My guild, my shell gathering guild determined to make the claim. My guild wants to get rid of the Company; I never tried to continue dredging. I sold to San Shing Lee. I do not know who made up my account in the case. I do not know who put in the amount of $1,666 as the amount. I forget how much I got from the Yes Kes. The limeburners know.

I stopped dredging in the 8th moon of the 25th year, and started again in the 9th moon of the 26th year, and I considered I continued the dredging until I sold the junk. The junk is now a cargo boat to Ting Hoi. I do not expect any compensation, but what I want is to get rid of the taxes imposed by the shell gatherers; then I could start again. We have to get a license, and that is the same as customs. I did not have a license from the Chinese Government for dredging. I had a trading junk license, and that enables us to dredge.

These three are to proceed at once to survey and mark out the route of the line, under the escort of Captain Kwong Shing Yuen and a company of soldiers.\n\nThe District Magistrate of Pun Yu will be asked to furnish two police officers for the further protection of the party, as the railway will be built in his district; while instructions are to be issued to him not to grant titles to, nor to permit transfers of, land along the proposed route, to prevent unprincipled persons from buying it up and then demanding an exorbitant price for it.\n\nAs all thinking persons must see, the building of railways has been a benefit to China when carried out by the people, but an injury when done by foreigners, as has been the practice hitherto, owing to the imperfect sympathy between the officials and the people; as lately, for instance, no Chinese would undertake the building of the Canton-Hankow line.

H.E. Cheung Pat-sz, about the 5th or 7th moon last year, discussed with Viceroy Shum the method of its construction. They drew up 21 general regulations which have been sanctioned by Their Imperial Majesties through the Board of Commerce. On receipt of a telegram in reply from the Board in the 10th moon, H.E. Cheung left Canton en route to different places, first to Whampoa, and then to Tsang Shing, Tung Kun, Shek Lang, Fok Lo, Hoi Fung, Luk Fung, Chiu Chau, Swatow, Fokien (Foochow), and Amoy, and took with him surveyors and engineers to survey the route. When this task was completed in the 2nd moon of the present year, he interviewed Viceroy Shum and proposed to him that Whampoa should be opened as a treaty port, there is ample room in the neighbourhood. It is near the water, which is of considerable depth, and the steamers plying between Hongkong and Canton pass it. He proposed that the construction of the first section between Canton and Whampoa should immediately be put in hand, and that, in the meantime, an embankment should be erected at Whampoa for the purpose of opening it as an international treaty port. Besides a very large railway station, there should be built houses in European style, business premises, Government offices, godowns, and wharves. All these should be carried out after the precedent in Shan Tung, where there is a treaty port opened by (China) herself, where all nations are at liberty to carry on business and their ships can freely lie at anchor and be loaded or unloaded. The estimated cost of opening this treaty port, which will extend more than 30 li along the line of railway, will be between 800,000 and 900,000 taels, including cost of land and materials. At first, it was proposed to divide the estimated cost for this and the railway into 9,000 shares of 100 taels each and to invite foreign...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-334 - Governor Nathan - 1906 [5-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 404876, "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": "CO129-334 - Governor Nathan - 1906 [5-7]", "page_number": 71, "title": "CO129-334 - Governor Nathan - 1906 [5-7]", "content_text": "68 \n\nand Kwong Tung merchants in the various ports in the Southern Ocean \n(i.e., Straits Settlements, Australia, and other places) to take shares. \n\nBut, later on, as Viceroy Shum was in a hurry to get this done, H.B. \nCheung took the responsibility upon himself of saying that the money \ncould be advanced although the shares had not yet been taken up. The \nnecessary cost of building the railway, too, was to be temporarily \nborne by the Authorities on condition that the money (for making Whampoa a treaty port and the construction of the railway thus expended) \nshould be repaid when the shares were taken up. When Cheung had settled \nthe above with Viceroy Shum in the conference, he returned to Chiu Chau, \nhis native place, to see about the funds, and as soon as he gets enough \nfunds, he will come to Canton to commence work. He will begin with the \nsection between Canton and Amoy (or Whampoa as mentioned earlier, but the text seems to refer to a different location, possibly a typo or confusion) and with all work in connection with the opening of the latter as a treaty port and the construction of the embankment. In the meantime, he will telegraph to the various towns in \nthe Southern Ocean to immediately take up shares in the Canton-Amoy \nRailway, which is a main line, so that he can continuously work section \nafter section. \n\nWe further hear that part of the railway between Amoy and Chiu \nChau is considered to be the main line for the Fokien Province and the \nfunds for its construction are to be raised from the Fokien people, and \nthat the funds for building the Kwong Tung main line between Canton \nand Chiu Chau are to be raised from the Kwong Tung merchants. The \nscheme is first to commence work on the section from Canton to Whampoa \nand then on those passing through Tsang Shing, Tung Kun, Shek Lung, Pok Lo, Roi Fung, and Luk Pung, to Chiu Chau, and, at the same time, work \nwill be commenced from Amoy to Chiu Chau, where a large railway station \nshall be built, being a station for the use of both provinces. All \ndistricts along which the railway passes shall also have stations for \nthe convenience of passengers and goods. \n\n(Editor of the She Men Yat Po:) Railways are closely connected with \ntreaty ports. By this movement, H.F. Cheung may be said to have caught \nhold of the very clue. It is hoped that the railway shares will be \nbacked up as eagerly as those of the Canton-Hankow Railway.

Like the Provinces of Anhui and Chekiang, whose gentry have applied to build their own railways, and which has been duly memorialized for them, and their prayer granted. Now, the Kiangsu gentries Yuu Su Ting and others are applying for the same privilege, and in the future they hope to connect their railways with Anhui, Chekiang, and other provinces, for the purpose of trade, and the safeguarding of the interests of their province; it is really an important scheme. Their electing the members of our Board, viz., Vice-Chancellor Wong Ching Moh and First Secretary Chang Ch'ien to take charge of the said Railway Company, we find Vice-Chancellor Wong possesses great ability, is careful in thought, and his character is widely known. For instance, last year, under Imperial orders to inquire into trade and the revenue of the railways and mines, touring by sea and rivers to different ports, his proposal to deal with the different railway revenue was properly dealt with and he gave great help to our Board. Though he has his post in Peking, by means of letters and telegrams he will be able to direct the business to the benefit of the railway. The Kiangsu gentry having jointly selected him, we therefore beg the Throne to consider the importance of the railway and sanction their request, and that the Vice-Chancellor Wong Chih Moh, a member of our Board, be allowed to take up the position of Chief Director of the Kiangsu Railway Company (Limited), and Chang Ch'ien, who is well educated, broad-minded, and an energetic worker, and known to have great knowledge in trade and railway matters, be given the post of Assistant Director, since the Kiangsu gentry desires it to be so. The issuing of shares, surveying, purchasing of land, the starting of construction work and other important matters will be undertaken by the said gentry, who will report from time to time to us, and we will in turn report the same to the Throne, so that the railway may be properly managed and in accordance with their united desire.\n\nBesides the Shanghae-Nanking Railway which is at present being built by a foreign loan, and who has a high official appointment by the Throne in charge of it, the said gentry now state that their reason for building the railway is for the promotion of trade in the interior, and for the safeguarding of the interest of the province.\n\nAs we have found this scheme of theirs in order, we pray that they should be allowed to register their Company beforehand, and when the shares are collected to a certain amount, we shall hasten them to make a start.\n\nThe working of this railway will be in strict accordance with the Regulations set down by us, and which have already been sanctioned by the Throne.\n\nWhen the gentries have decided on their regulations, how the line will run, &c., they will forward the same to us, and we will again memorialize the Throne on the subject.\n\nWith regard to the above scheme of Kiangsu gentry to build their own railways, establishing a Company, electing officials, and the registering of their Company beforehand, we, in duty bound, respectfully beg to lay this Memorial for your Majesty's consideration and instructions.\n\nYour Highness,\n\nInclosure 5 in No. 1.\n\nMr. Carnegie to Prince Ching.\n\nPeking, August 4, 1906. SIR E. SATOW had the honour to address your Highness three notes of the 14th and 16th March and the 19th April, on the subject of the Soochow-langchow-Ningpo Railway. In the note of the 19th April he inclosed copy of a Proclamation issued by the Governor of Chekiang on the 14th March which showed that his Excellency was continuing to press on the construction of a railway by the Chekiang people along the same route as that mentioned in the British and Chinese Corporation's Preliminary Agreement of October 1898. Sir Ernest pointed out that the Governor of Chekiang, relying on the Decree of the 23rd September, 1905, was ignoring the earlier objections of the Chinese Government which your Highness had admitted to be valid, and as regards which your Highness had informed Sir Ernest that the Governor should negotiate with the Corporation, and warned your Highness that the situation was one which the Chinese Government could not allow to continue without danger of international complications and serious damage to both British and Chinese interests. Sir Ernest therefore repeated the requests made in his note of the 14th March, that your Highness should inform the Governor of Chekiang that, as the Preliminary Agreement must be faithfully carried out, it was unnecessary to consider the separate proposals of the Chekiang people, and that the definite instructions of the Imperial Chinese Government should be sent to his Excellency to receive the Corporation's representative for the purpose of negotiating a Final Agreement, in accordance with the terms of the Preliminary Agreement.\n\n9\n\nOn the 12th May I had the honour to remind your Highness in a note that no reply had been received to Sir Ernest's communication, and to suggest that as Mr. Bland, the representative of the British and Chinese Corporation, had arrived in Peking, and as it was clear that the Governor of Chekiang had no intention of carrying out the negotiations which your Highness stated in a letter of the 1st January would be continued by him, the terms of the Final Agreement should be considered here. Since then the matter has been discussed at the Wai-wu Pu. I have been asked to represent to His Majesty's Government the difficult position in which the Wai-wu Pu is placed by the popular feeling in Chekiang, and to allow time for this to subside. In reply I have explained that, though willing to recognize difficulties, I must look to the Chinese Government to secure the fulfilment of solemn agreements in spite of local agitations.\n\nUnder the circumstances above stated, it was with no little astonishment that I read in a recent issue of the \"Yu Che Hui Ts'un\" (collection of Decrees and Memorials) a Memorial of the Board of Commerce submitting certain rules drawn up by the gentry of Chekiang for the construction of railways in that province. According to this Memorial, which received the Imperial approval by Rescript on the 4th July last, and appended rules, a concern called \"The Limited Company for the Construction of all the Railways of Chekiang Province\" has been authorized to survey and undertake lines from Hangchow northwards to Soochow and Shanghae, through Ho-shu and Chia-hsing (Kashing); and from Hangchow eastwards to Ningpo, through Chiang-kan and Shao-shing. The authority thus given to the above Company is in direct violation of the Agreements entered into by the Chinese Government with the British and Chinese Corporation.\n\nI have also seen in the \"Pei Yang Kuan Pao\" (\"North China Official News\") a Memorial of the Board of Commerce in regard to the establishment of a Company by the gentry of Kiangsu for the construction of railways in that province, which Memorial was approved by an Imperial Rescript of the 25th May, and I gather from a Declaration of his Excellency Chang Ch'ien, the Assistant Director of that Company (which was published in the \"Nan Fang Pao\" of the 19th and 20th June), that a railway from Soochow to Chia-hsing (Kashing) stands in the forefront of the undertakings contemplated by his Company. It is unnecessary to remind your Highness that such an enterprise, if seriously contemplated by the Kiangsu Railway Company under the authority of the Imperial Rescript of the 25th May, would also be a direct infringement of the obligations of the Chinese Government towards the British and Chinese Corporation.\n\nIn view of the importance of this matter to the reputation and credit of the Imperial Chinese Government, I have the honour to request your Highness to memorialize the Throne without delay, with a view to such action as may be necessary to obviate a charge of breach of faith, and to secure the due fulfilment of the obligations of the Chinese Government under their Agreements with the British and Chinese Corporation.\n\nThe favour of an early reply is requested.\n\n(Signed)\n\n0\n\nI avail, &c.\n\nLANCELOT D.

The claim of Captain Joslin, who was in command of the \"Sainam\" at the time when the attack occurred, is unquestionably the most serious of the present claims.\n\nIt was clearly part of the preconcerted plan of attack of the pirates to murder all the Europeans on board the steamer. Dr. Macdonald was shot dead, and, from their subsequent treatment of him, the pirates were evidently under the impression that they had similarly killed Captain Joslin, as, after they had shot him, and he lay apparently dead in the front cabin, a number of pirates inspected his body, kicked him, and tore the gold ring from his finger, besides tearing open his clothes in order to look at the shot wound in his body.\n\nCaptain Joslin was brought down to Hong Kong and taken to the Government Civil Hospital, where he was detained until sufficiently recovered to move about again. A copy of the medical certificate of the Superintendent of the hospital relating to Captain Joslin is hereto annexed.\n\nAlthough released from hospital, Captain Joslin has by no means recovered from the very severe nervous shock from which he has suffered since the attack, and he will in the future in all probability never be the same man, or capable of sustaining the same responsibility as he was prior to this event.\n\nHis cabin was stripped by the pirates and everything of value that they could find removed therefrom.\n\nCaptain Joslin is a man between 40 and 50 years of age, and of fine physique, and prior to this outrage was in the enjoyment of excellent health, and in the ordinary course of events should have been fully capable of continuing in command of steamers for another ten years. In such a position he should have earned an annual salary of 500l., or thereabouts, representing in ten years a capital sum of 5,000l., or, say, 50,000 dollars.\n\nIt is more than doubtful now whether Captain Joslin will ever be fit to be, or, in fact, be, intrusted with a command. In such circumstances a compensation assessed upon such a basis as that just suggested would seem but fair and reasonable, and Captain Joslin accordingly claims the sum of 50,000 dollars as compensation for his losses and injuries.\n\n2. The next claim is that of the Chief Engineer, Mr. J. W. Seggie. Mr. Seggie was seriously injured by a stink-pot thrown by the pirates, and only escaped being shot by them by succeeding in reaching the boiler-room and hiding there behind the boiler, so that they were unable to trace him; in so doing, he was further seriously burnt and scorched, and undoubtedly also sustained a serious nervous shock.\n\nIn addition, his cabin was looted and all his personal property of any value stolen by the pirates. The value of this personal property he estimates at the sum of 1,500 dollars, and adds to this a claim of 24,000 dollars as compensation for the serious bodily and mental injuries sustained by him by reason of the attack.\n\n3. The Indian watchmen on the \"Sainam\" at the time in question all sustained personal losses and bodily wounds.\n\nThe most seriously wounded was Khan Mahomed, whose wounds are certified to in the medical certificate, of which a copy is hereto annexed. He is still in hospital. His claim for personal losses is as follows:--\n\n \n Cash\n Dol. c.\n 100.00\n \n \n Money in hand on account of others\n \n 80.00\n \n \n Wife's jewellery\n \n 80.00\n \n \n One ring and one bangle\n \n 30.00\n \n \n One watch and chain\n \n 14.00\n \n \n Four winter uniforms\n \n 35.00\n \n \n One blanket.\n \n 10.00\n \n \n Two blankets\n \n 10.00\n \n \n One box..\n \n 7.00\n \n \n One umbrella\n \n 2.50\n \n \n \n \n 8.00\n \n \n Total\n \n 371.50\n \n\nInclosure 3 in No. 1.\n\nSTATEMENT of the Claim of the captain, officers, and crew of the British steam-ship \"Sainam\" for compensation in connection with the piratical attack on that vessel on the 13th July, 1906, while trading in accordance with Treaty rights on the West River, in the Province of Kwong Tung, in the Empire of China.\n\nTHE circumstances in connection with the above-mentioned outrage have been sufficiently detailed in the claim of the joint owners of the steam-ship \"Sainam\" for compensation in respect thereof, and are therefore not here recapitulated.\n\nThe present claim is that of the captain, officers, and crew for compensation for the injuries and losses suffered by them in the matter, and are dealt with in the following order:\n\nHis further claim for personal injuries is for the sum of 2,000 dollars, which would seem the least compensation that could fairly be paid to him for such injuries.\n\nThe case next in degree of seriousness amongst the Indian watchmen to the foregoing is Ali Akbar, whose injuries are certified to in the copy certificate also hereto annexed. The personal property stolen from him by the pirates he values at 250 dollars, particulars whereof are as follows:-", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-338 - Public Offices & Others - 1906.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 408046, "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": "CO129-338 - Public Offices & Others - 1906", "page_number": 510, "title": "CO129-338 - Public Offices & Others - 1906", "content_text": "505\n\n20 121.

It was, as I think the Petition shows, on other humanitarian grounds that he made his appeal, and if the Regulations have not the sanction of an Act of Parliament in tying Lord Elgin's hands, it appeared to me there was a prima facie case for reconsideration by His Lordship of the manner in which Mr McDonald had been dealt with at a time when from severe illness, contracted in the service, he was not able to represent and press his case on the notice of the responsible authorities.\n\nI assume what you point out in the last paragraph of your letter to be correct, but it does not, as it appears to me, alter in the least, the complexion of the case. It is, I think, not quite accurate to refer as you do to Mr McDonald's severance from the Police Force as \"retirement\". His connection with the Force was not voluntarily severed.\n\n## Step-by-step analysis of the problem:\n1. **Initial Assessment**: The given text appears to be an OCR output of a historical document related to Hong Kong, specifically concerning a petition or appeal by Mr. McDonald regarding his service in the Hong Kong Police Force.\n2. **Identifying Issues**: The text contains numerous OCR errors, including spelling mistakes, incorrect spacing, and what seems to be a mix of unrelated or fragmented sentences at the beginning.\n3. **Understanding the Task**: The task involves proofreading the OCR output to correct spelling errors, fix spacing issues, rejoin broken sentences, and restore paragraph breaks while maintaining the original content and structure as much as possible.\n4. **Analyzing the Content**: The text transitions from seemingly unrelated or garbled content at the start to a coherent letter from someone in Edinburgh to an unspecified recipient, discussing Mr. McDonald's case and the regulations governing gratuities or pensions for the Hong Kong Police Force.\n\n## Fixed solution:\n```html\nRe-employment law. Sort which average made under the laws of the colony. That, if willing to and the State King take his discharge back, if fit, he will raise his re-enlistment when a vacancy occurs.\n\nA man in the Service, but that his two periods of service could be counted together, if the gratuity which he has received in the meantime is refunded if they will take him back.\n\n&c. And why should he come forward? Relief Act 12. Even if continuous, how have breaks for 1½ years to be permissible, & what weight is my opinion worth? Omit A above. He could count his service as 64...\n\nRefund this gratuity. But I can find either special to the Police or general rule a temporary allowance which we allow him & count his former service. Under a general rule, a break can be provided for long service. During which this break of 7 years or other employment cannot be counted.\n\nHis case has not been even moderately considered. It has been impossible to regard any general rules, specially hard cases, freeing that he recovered his health to a considerable extent.\n\nHave the pension rules been sent? & I should explain as to rejoining the Service as in M: Fidder Draft - Let me see draft C.PL 24 at once.\n\nSir,\n\nR\n\nC742 42/97\n\nTRECE\n\nJAKE 20 NOV 06\n\n5 Thistle Street,\n\nEDINBURGH, 19th November 1906.\n\n1\n\n27.687/1906.\n\nI beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter of 8th August last, and have since had an opportunity of conferring with Mr McDonald on the subject of it.
