I have re- possibility of mistake. A letter was therefore written peatedly drawn out such bonds. I receive no fees in to the Governor of the Gaol to give the Sheriff notice, such matters. I got no instructions whatever from Dr that if no civil process was issued against Allum be Bridges farther than the letter already produced. I fore the expiry of the 24 hours, Allum was to be received instructions when made a J.P., not to act in discharged. I may explain, that the Sheriff had for- my magisterial capacity in any matter connected with merly the charge of the prisoners, but the powers are the Gaol. The old Gaol Ordinance has been superseded by the New Gaol Regulations. Dr Bridges visited the gaol on the 1st August; he expressed surprise at Allum's release, and asked how the Sheriff had permitted him to go. \n\nThe next I heard of the matter, I believe, was on the 1st of August, when, on visiting the Gaol, as I usually do, the Governor of the Gaol informed me Allum was gone. \n\nI was very much surprised, and immediately crossed over to the Magistracy, where the Sheriff was.\n\n## For the defence.\n\nTAM-ACHOV,-Has spoken to Dr Bridges about Allum. Never was asked by Dr Bridges to bring money-never paid any.\n\nPHILLIP COHEN, Merchant-Have had dealings with Allum. When Allum was arrested, he owed the firm upwards of $1000, I succeeded in obtaining...\n\nF. S. HUFFUM, Clerk to the Chief Justice, questioned as to the correctness of a report in the Friend of China of a discussion before His Lordship about some money found in Allum's iron chest, and which Dr Bridges demanded on behalf of his client said he thought the report was correct.\n\nJ. JARMAN, Inspector of Police,-Was directed to read the report of the execution before the Magistrate. At first he said he thought it correct as far as he could recollect; but on being cross-questioned, said Dr Bridges had given his evidence in an open, straightforward manner-made no attempt to conceal any facts answered every question put to him. Mr Jarman was then told to re-read the report in the Friend of China, and say if that report coincided with what he had just stated about Dr Bridges's manner of giving evidence; he acknowledged it did not, and then wound up by saying he had paid very little attention to what took place in the Magistrate's Court, as he was busy at the time with other matters.\n\nLE-ARROW, I know Cheong Allum, am his cousin. I am Overseer in the Land Office. My salary is $20 a month. I remember the morning when civil actions were pending against him. The Sheriff had nothing to do with Allum criminally, but he was informed that Allum had to enter into bonds. I directed the Sheriff to be informed, because, having been Allum's Counsel, I was afraid that something might be said about my connection with his release. Other prisoners have been in Gaol on suspicion, for whom bonds were taken, some by the Registrar General, some by the Governor of the Gaol. I had nothing to do with the drawing of the securities, nothing whatever further to say to Allum's release. (The Friend of China of 5th August last handed to the witness, who, when asked what part of an article in it he considered libellous, replied,)-I do not exactly know what part to say. It accuses me of dishonesty and abuse of my position, and of being actuated by unworthy motives in ordering Allum's release. (Another paper of 25th July handed to him.)-I see nothing in this directly referring to me, except that it speaks of an exposé, and is alluded to as such in the paper of 5th August. I had no reason to dread any exposure. I received from Allum altogether $1150. In the criminal matter, I was waited upon by Chinese. I did not like the case, and told them if I was to act for Allum, I should charge $1,000, but would have nothing to do with Allum personally in the matter. In the civil cases, I get $150 from Mr Stace, Allum's Solicitor. The $1,000 I got from Allum's friends. I did not get the money myself, but was told by my Comprador it had been paid-I presume by Tam Achoy and Assow, who with 5 or 6 other Chinese had waited on me to ask me to defend Allum. I made a mistake at the Magistrate's Court in saying the sum I got from Mr Stace for account of Allum was between $175 and $225, for on looking at my book I find it was only $150. It was perfectly immaterial to me whether Allum's books appeared in the Insolvent Court or not. I consider I acted wrongly as Colonial Secretary in keeping Allum in gaol for the 22 days it was only to prevent anything like an imputation being cast upon me about his release. (Witness shown the Friend of China of 22nd August, professing to give a report of the examination before Mr Davis, the Chief Magistrate, and also Mr Tarrant's first letter to Mr Labouchere, said)-the report is false-a distortion of the truth from beginning to end. (Cross-questioned by Mr TARRANT.) When I accepted office in February last, I found Allum in jail. He was there on the Governor's warrant. The Sheriff before gave a wrong account of the incarceration, and he is now aware of it; he had forgotten the particulars-we are all liable to make mistakes. New Gaol Regulations have been made by the Justices of the Peace. They did not require to be approved by the Legislative Council, though the Governor has the power of disallowing any alterations. I knew nothing about the discharge of the prisoner, further than I have already stated. The Magistrates follow their own plans in taking bail. Allum was committed under the Governor's warrant, and the Sheriff had nothing to do with him.\n\nANDREW L. INGLIS,-I am Governor of the Gaol, and have been so since the 4th of May in this year. New Gaol Regulations have been made since I became Governor; under these regulations the custody of prisoners is vested in me as Governor. When I took charge of the jail, I found Allum in custody, under a warrant bearing the H. E. Governor's signature and seal. In the month of July (the 8th) I received instructions that I was not to hold Allum longer as a criminal, but I was to keep him in custody in case any civil process should be issued against him (Extract of 8th July from jail-journal read.) The next communication I know of relative to Allum was on the 30th July, when I received a letter directing me to give the Sheriff notice, that if no detainers were lodged against him before the expiry of 24 hours, he would then be discharged by me, on finding security not to return to the colony for five years. I took the letter to the Sheriff, who read it, and said he had something against him, and would arrest him on the morrow. The following day in the forenoon, I received a note from Mr Stace, by the hands of Tam Achoy and another, to say that they would be bail for Allum, and that they had better see Mr Caldwell that he might approve of them as sureties (note read.) I sent the note down to Mr Caldwell, who said both men were valid. I then drew up the bail-bond, had it signed, and there being no detainer lodged by the Sheriff, I discharged Allum according to instructions. (Governor's warrant for Allum's imprisonment read.) I found the warrant on the file when I entered on office. When I joined the Gaol, it was under the charge of the Sheriff until new regulations were framed, vesting all the power in me as Governor. I did not find any security... \n\nCHARLES MAY, Acting Sheriff,-After his examination before the Police Court, I issued a warrant for the detention of Allum under `Ordinance No. 2 of 1857`, because the Attorney General had told the Court that such a step would be taken; I was at that time in charge of the gaol in the absence of Mr Mitchell the Sheriff. When a prisoner is liberated on bail, it is the custom here to submit the bond for the inspection of the Committing Magistrate. This is not necessary, but it is the custom here; any Justice will do as well. Mr Inglis brought the letter of instructions to me while I was on the bench. I said there was a difficulty in my arresting Allum while on the Criminal side of the jail, but if he would transfer him to the Civil side I would arrest him. He replied he had no such instructions. I said I would let him know in the morning; I did not do so. The next I heard of Allum was from the Acting Colonial Secretary, on the 1st August; I could scarcely believe him when he said Allum was discharged, and went over to the jail to enquire. On examining the writ in my hands, I found the date had expired, and therefore the onus was removed from my shoulders. I was astonished at Allum's release, having expected that the surety bond would be first submitted to me, If a writ had been put in on the 31st, the same objection to serving it would have been taken.\n\nJOHN DAY, I acted as Counsel for Allum-I was retained by Gaskell & Brown, and they paid me my fees. I was retained two days after the poisoning. My fees amounted to $484. I was junior Counsel.\n\nJOZE D'ALMADA, Acting Clerk of Councils,—(Asked whether the old Gaol Ordinance had been repealed, replied,)-I am not permitted to state anything that takes place in the Council.\n\nR. S. WALKER, J.P.-New Gaol Regulations were made a short time ago. There were two meetings of the Justices on the subject. I was present at one.\n\nJAMES COLLINS, Clerk to the Chief Magistrate,—I sent round the Circulars, calling a meeting of the J.P. to consider the New Gaol Regulations. (Produces both circulars.)\n\nD. MASSON, Acting Registrar of the Court,-I am the officer appointed to tax bills of costs. Can't say anything about Dr Bridges' charges unless you can shew me what work he performed.\n\n(Here the **CHIEF JUSTICE** endeavoured to make Mr Tarrant understand, that a client might pay his Counsel or Solicitor any sum he pleased $1,000 or $100,000—with that the Court had nothing to do. The Ordinance for Fees and Costs merely referred to cases in which a losing party had to pay the costs on both sides, in which case he had a right to demand that the opposing lawyer's bill should be taxed.)\n\n## \n(Copy) W. 730.\n\n**Sir,**\n\nIn `18...` \n**Colonial Secretary's office; Victoria, Hong Kong, 12th August, 1857.**\n\nWith reference to the letter addressed to the Right Honorable The Secretary of State for the Colonies by Mr. 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.

She afterwards received no further communication from him; nor did she know that he had sent any boxes on board for her. Cohen knew that Delcaire was travelling in the party. The label on one of the boxes had the name (Rearden) wrongly spelt. She herself did not know that these boxes were on board until they were produced on deck in Hongkong. Delcaire gave evidence that she had not heard of Cohen and did not know him; and that she did not know of the existence of the four boxes labelled with her name.\n\nThe effect of the evidence given by the defendants, Rearden and Delcaire, and by Sergeant Pincott was to render it probable that Cohen had despatched the opium from London, using the names of Rearden and Delcaire, without their knowledge or connivance.\n\n## 9. \nThe Crown called a witness named Horne, who deposed that during October last he had received from Heckrath, he then, so he said, Heckrath's valet eight trunks with instructions to convey them to China on the S.S. \"Kashima Maru\". He gave details of the delivery of these boxes to him by Heckrath and stated that on arrival on Shanghai on the 20th November the boxes had been seized and had been found to contain opium. He stated that he did not know either Rearden or Delcaire.

CONTINUED SUCCESS.\n\nThe season which opened last week at the Star Theatre, Kowloon, so brightly continues its success. The Warwick Revue Company started off very well, and they are maintaining their high standard. What is more, when a complete change of programme is promised it is given—and that cannot be said of all managers.\n\nThe first two successes of the short season was followed last night by yet another—\"The Merry-Go-Round\"—not that the name matters at all. What does matter is that Mr. Warwick's talented company continue to demonstrate their remarkable store of talent and versatility. There is not a dull moment during the evening; and the various numbers are presented so swiftly, attractively, and with such originality that one almost forgets having seen the same performers a night or two previously, and can imagine an entirely new company having made its appearance in their stead.\n\nIf there be anyone on Kowloon side who has not yet seen a Warwick revue, and who appreciates ...\n\n## CORRESPONDENCE.\n\n### MRS. EDDY AGAIN.\n\nSIR,—I have just seen a cutting from your issue of August 15 and despite the long delay I respectfully request you to publish a few words in regard to the communication therein by William H. Adler, Committee on Publication in Hong Kong for the Boston \"Mother Church.\"\n\nMr. Adler was ill-advised in quoting Rev. Lyman P. Powell of New York City, former President of Hobart College, as having spoken favourably of Mrs. Eddy as the Founder of Christian Science. Some years ago Rev. Powell examined the documentary evidence bearing upon the question of Mrs. Eddy having purloined her doctrines from her teacher, Dr. P. P. Quimby, and then wrote a book entitled \"Christian Science, The Faith and Its Founder\" which was published by the well-known New York firm of G. P. Putnam's Sons. On page 64 of this book Dr. Powell says:-\n\nDr. Quimby had started on his mental healing course years before his most distinguished patient (Mrs. Eddy) had ever heard of him. The most she ever did for him who did so much for her was to give to him while he was alive the appreciation, precious beyond words to every doctor, and when he was dead fulsome verse, in which she made \"sackcloth clothe the sun and day grow night.\" And then, as years went by and ambition grew with what it fed on, she began to claim first that she had started Quimby on his course, then that she, not he, had planned the course, and last, that he had not taken any course at all of mental healing, but was mere mesmerist. And only in the high noon of this year's (1908) publicity has truth crushed to earth risen again to the defence of Quimby and the depreciation of his one-time friend and pupil patient. An unbroken line of witnesses from 1862 to 1875 all testify that Mrs. Eddy was in those years continuously making generous acknowledgement that she got her central principle from Quimby.\n\nA new biography of Mrs. Eddy by Edwin Franden Dakin has just been published by Scribner's, one of the leading American publishers. This 550-page book, which is having a very large sale in America and England, is composed largely of documentary evidence fully sustaining the fact that Mrs. Eddy developed her system entirely from what she got from Quimby. I enclose for your files an extensive review of this book from the New York Times Book Review, the leading American medium of literary criticism.—Yours, etc.\n\nJOHN V. DITTEMORE, Committee on Information, The Christian Science Parent Church.\n\nWASHINGTON, Sept. 13.\n\n## COL. LINDBERGH AS ARCHEOLOGIST. DISCOVERS LOST MAYA CITY.\n\nBelize, British Honduras.—Carrying out a project he has cherished for months, Col. Charles A. Lindbergh is conducting an aerial survey of the area between Belize and Yucatan and is reported to have discovered new secrets of the ancient Maya civilization.\n\nRadio reports from Col. and Mrs. Lindbergh state that they have uncovered signs of large ruins in the midst of heretofore impenetrable jungles.\n\nColonel Lindbergh's imagination was fired toward conducting this exploration when, in the course of a good-will flight months ago, he spied ancient ruins in the midst of jungle country.\n\nTwo tiny green lakes gleaming up like eyes attracted his attention and he flew down to discover that they were part of an elaborate plan apparently forming a temple and grounds. No habitations were near and the jungle seemed so dense that to penetrate to the scene on foot would be a labour of months.\n\nLindbergh desired to return at once but other duties called him away. The present work may occupy some time and it is believed that it may have important consequences in facilitating the study of the ancient Mayas.\n\n## PENANG HOSPITAL AFFAIR.\n\nIn the middle of 1927, the Penang visiting committee had reason for strongly criticising the conditions at the General Hospital. As a result, an official report was made by Dr. Douglas and Dr. Ebden, who at that time were stationed at Penang. Three weeks later the visiting committee issued a public statement intimating their decision to resign en bloc.\n\nQuestions were asked in the Legislative Council and in answer to the question as to whether the doctors concerned would be punished, Government replied that their careers would not be prejudiced.\n\nWhat actually happened at the end of Dr. Douglas' term of office was that he was told that his services would no longer be required and he sailed for home in April this year.\n\nDr. Ebden was appointed to an inferior position at Singapore and subsequently appointed Acting Medical Officer, Alor Star.\n\nNow, after 18 months' service in Kedah, during which time he was largely responsible for many much-needed improvements, he has been told his services will no longer be required. The Pinang Gazette says: \"Both men are capable officers who were high up in their profession. If this Machi the Service fails to attract the best men.\"—Straits Times.\n\n## \"WORKERS\" SEIZE PEPING TEMPLE. VIGOROUS BUDDHIST PROTEST.\n\nPeking. A spectacular demonstration was held in the old capital against the recent forcible occupation of the Teh-san Temple by the local Tramway Co.'s workers. The demonstrators, composed of monks, nuns, lamas, and schoolboys from the Buddhist institutions, numbering not less than 2,000, started in a lengthy procession from the western city to the Municipal Party Headquarters. Upon their arrival, the following demands were made:-\n\n| Demand | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| 1 | That the temple in question should be returned; |\n| 2 | That compensation should be made by the Workers Union for damage done in the temple; |\n| 3 | That the culprits be punished; |\n| 4 | That the local authorities should afford due protection in future. |\n\nThe requests are said to have been complied with.—Kue Wen.\n\n## PERAMBULATOR THEFTS. TWO CHINESE ARRESTED.\n\nTwo Chinese have been arrested in Kowloon in connection with perambulator thefts which were reported to have occurred last July. Detective Sergeant Humphreys and a posse of police raided a house in Mongkok and took charge of two Chinese and three baby carriages. The men will be brought before Mr. T. S. Whyte Smith at Kowloon Magistracy to-day.\n\nThe first man is charged with stealing a perambulator, the property of Mrs. Park, No. 12, Empress Lodge, on July 3; and another perambulator from Mrs. Larcombe, of No. 25, Carnarvon Road, ground floor, on July 9th. In this case, the perambulator was stolen from the hallway.\n\nThe other Chinese is charged with stealing a basinette, valued at $40, from Mrs. Othen at No. 15, Carnarvon Road, on July 25. The first man is further charged with \"receiving\" this basinette.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-516-6 The Mui-Tsai question 5-11-1929 - 21-1-1930.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 535129, "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": "CO129-541-11 Cheng Kwok Yau- trial judge's notes 1-1-1932 - 31-12-1932", "page_number": 16, "title": "CO129-541-11 Cheng Kwok Yau- trial judge's notes 1-1-1932 - 31-12-1932", "content_text": "-12-\n\n5.\n\nAn inadequate summing-up is worse than none at all.\n\n6.

A table of salaries at (11) clarifies the issue.\n\n2. Your minute of 26/6 suggests a salary for Sister Tutors and does not refer to \"Supervisor and Training Officer for Health Visitors and Welfare Nurses,\" the cumbersome title for one of the two posts to which (10) refers. Perhaps your mention of Sister Tutor is a clerical error, for you will doubtless recollect that the revised salary for Sister Tutors has been agreed. The Salaries Commission proposed for Sister Tutors the Senior Nursing Sister scale plus a non-pensionable allowance of $60 per mensem. At our instance, the Governor agreed to make this allowance pensionable and to incorporate it in the salary scale - hence the scale for Sister Tutors is parallel to that for Senior Nursing Sisters, but $60 per mensem higher throughout.\n\n3. The proposal in your minute of 26/6 would, in effect, introduce an additional scale, viz., the Nursing Sisters scale plus a pensionable allowance of $80 per mensem.\n\n4. The Governor's proposal does not introduce the complication of an additional scale but equates the salaries for the two posts in question here with two existing (revised) scales. The Health Visitor scale is equated with the Senior Nursing Sister scale (which was considered the equivalent scale when Miss Wilson was appointed last year). The Supervisor and Training Officer scale is equated with the Sister Tutor scale, a little higher than the Senior Nursing Sister's scale, but considerably below the revised Principal Almoner scale, on the old scale of which post Miss Burne was appointed last year.\n\n5. The Governor's proposal is straightforward and seems to fit in with the revised salary structure. Assuming that the responsibilities of a Health Visitor can be roughly equated with those of a Senior Nursing Sister and those of a Supervisor and Training Officer with those of a Tutor Sister (as to which I am not qualified to offer an opinion), the simplest course would be to approve the Governor's proposal, pointing out his error referred to at X of Mr. Radford's minute above.\n\n6. In view of Dr. Cruikshank's minute of 21/6, we can also agree to the Governor's recommendation as to the point of entry to these two scales of Miss Burne and Miss Wilson, respectively.\n\n7. If you and Dr. Cruikshank agree, would you please pass the draft, which I have put in to crystallize the issue? I have made it a telegram because the Governor asks for an early reply.\n\nJ.\n\n## Dr. Cruikshank\n\nI am sorry to trouble you with this again. I mentioned Sister Tutors in my previous minute with the object of suggesting that Hong Kong should fall into line with the African Colonies, both as regards the remuneration of Sister Tutors and Health Visitors. I had no comment to make on the scale proposed for the Supervisor and Training Officer, etc., since the scale proposed appeared to me to be suitable.\n\nI do not see any serious objection to what is proposed for the Health Visitor. It may appear that it will be generously paid as compared with the ordinary Nursing Sister, but a Nursing Sisters scale in Hong Kong is quite short and covers a period of 7 years only. It would undoubtedly be necessary, in any event, to appoint a Health Visitor well above the minimum, in addition to the payment of an allowance of £60 per annum. Moreover, a starting salary of £480 per annum, plus expatriation pay of $25 per annum, is not excessive, bearing in mind conditions in Hong Kong.\n\nUnless you have no further comments, therefore, I agree that this proposal might be approved as in the attached draft.\n\n## Mr. Nicholls to see after action\n\nTo 14 July, 1948.\n\n1577/48 \nTel: 717 \n\n## Gov. tel. 262 Saw.
