Lûn Cheong, the prisoner, said that during Ma-chow Wong's investigation at the Magistrate's Office, Ma-chow Wong's family was living with him. One day he went home and said to Ma-chow Wong's wife, that very likely Ma-chow Wong's case would be committed to the Supreme Court, and that Ma-chow Wong's wife was not pleased; he also said that some of the Sunon men had petitioned on behalf of Ma-chow Wong, and had gone round the town to get shops' signatures; that he himself, being a native of Sunon, refused to go to get signatures. Because of this, he says Ma-chow Wong's wife had an ill-feeling towards him; he said he believed that Ma-chow Wong's wife herself complained to Mr Caldwell, and for that reason, he believes that he was prosecuted.\n\nI was Gaoler at the time of Eli Boggs' trial, and attended in Court as Gaoler on the occasion of his trial. I took down to the Supreme Court a tin box containing articles belonging to him. I received the tin box from the Police, but do not recollect from which officer. It was placed on the table at the Court. I do not remember what was in it, nor do I remember anything being taken out. I was present when Boggs made his defence. I think he had some papers in his hand. I don't remember whether he read from them. I am not certain whether the box was handed over to the Police after the trial. If it had been taken back to the Gaol, it would have been deposited in the Store-room. I have never seen it since. I do not remember seeing or hearing at the trial any paper containing Mr Caldwell's name read. I heard Mr Caldwell's name mentioned by Boggs in his defence.\n\nI have heard from Kwei Ch'oi, a Chinese female, that she was sent for by Mrs Caldwell. Mrs Caldwell said, \"people are saying that you gave me a gold bangle. Did you give it me or not.\" Kwei Ch'oi replied that she had not given her one. I have not heard of any other person being sent for.\n\nCross-examined,-I went to Kwei Ch'oi's house on the occasion I speak of. I visit her now and then. I think this was about a fortnight ago, but I heard the report from several other women before. I did not go to her house for the purpose of questioning her about this. I asked her whether she had put a gold chain into a loaf of bread and sent it as a present to Mr Caldwell. She said \"No.\" I asked about the gold chain because I had heard of it. I haven't heard about the intimidation of witnesses who were to appear before this commission, but judge from my own arrest. I told Mr May when asked that I was afraid to come before the Commission to say anything against Mr Caldwell; if I should, no doubt I would get into trouble. I also heard that a man conversing with another said, \"I hear that Assow is going to give evidence against Mr Caldwell; he appeared to be angry, and my reply to the best of my knowledge was, 'well; if he should, he will not get clear off himself.'\" This man was the Chinese Sergeant of Police, Lo Ahing. I think it was about the beginning of last month that I was arrested.\n\nCross-examined, I recollect the examination in the Gaol Yard of the men who were sent to Hainan. There was a great number of men apprehended in Bonham Strand, some of whom were put in the Debtor's Gaol, and some in the Mill Yard. I remember a large number of these men being examined in the Debtor's Gaol Yard. I do not remember the Attorney General being present. I remember Mr May and Mr Caldwell. The prisoners deported to Hainan were mustered by Mr May—the list drawn up—and Mr May and Mr Cluff were present. I do not recollect the Attorney General or Mr Caldwell being present. Mr Caldwell came to me the day after and inquired about two men who had been sent away, who ought not to have been sent. Mr Caldwell had nothing that I am aware of to do with the deportation of these men; it was conducted by Mr May, who was then Acting Sheriff and Superintendent of Police. Mr Caldwell mentioned the names of two men, but I do not remember the names. After I told him that they were mustered under the orders of my superior Mr May, my recollection was that I could not help myself, and that I made out a rough draft of the list of prisoners to be deported, and these were finally arranged by Mr May. This occasion, on the morning of their embarkation, is to my knowledge the only one on which the prisoners were examined.\n\nLEONARDO D'ALMADA E CASTRO,-Called and examined.\n\nI am Clerk of Councils and Chief Clerk in the Colonial Secretary's Office.

My brother, who is now sick, officiated.\n\n[The proceedings of the several meetings of the Executive Council at which reference was made to the case of Ma-chow Wong were read to the Commission by permission of His Excellency the Governor, from which it appeared that Mr Mongan was examined previously to Mr May and that the Council finally decided on rejecting the petition for the release of Ma-chow Wong, upon a perusal of the translation by Mr Wade of the papers found on Beaver; Mr Wade stating that he had not had time in any way to examine the papers referred to in Mr May's memoranda.]\n\nROBERT EDWARD MACKENZIE,-Called and examined.\n\nRe-examined, I have never as Gaoler had reason to remark or complain upon the great number of commitments or liberation on warrants signed by Mr Caldwell under the deportation ordinance. There was only one occasion on which we were very much overcrowded with prisoners. I think that about that time a great many prisoners were received from several justices. I think there were no more upon Mr Caldwell's warrant than upon others.\n\nMr Caldwell has never, during my service as Gaoler, interfered in any way with the Gaol, the prisoners, or the officers. There was a difficulty in mustering the men for deportation, the names which some of them gave being different from those on the list, and I think Mr May called Mr Cluff to interpret. I did not see Mr Anstey present.\n\nCHARLES MAY,-Recalled at his own request.\n\nI recollect the man Beaver being brought before me charged with piracy. Mr Caldwell was the first witness and stated that from documentary evidence, which he would produce on a future day, he would show the prisoner's confederation with pirates.\n\n(81)\n\nI was asked for the promissory note. If the man was to be released, it was to be $800; if he was to be imprisoned, it was to be $400. I do not know if $400 were paid; my share has not been paid. My partner came to me for it, but I would not pay; I don't know whether he has paid or not. I told this story to the Attorney General without mentioning names. I mentioned Shaplok's name and the name of the partner who spoke to me. I only mentioned Shaplok's name to Mr Lane. It was not because I was afraid that I did not mention Mr Caldwell's name. The pawnshopman has told me that the $400 have been paid. He asked for $50 to be paid to Shaplok as a cumshaw. I heard that the $400 had been paid to Shaplok; the $50 was also paid to Shaplok.\n\nI do not remember a petition being sent into the Governor for the pardon of Ma-chow Wong, nor do I remember speaking to Tam Achoey about it. I recollect going to Mr May by request of Tam Achoey. I cannot recollect what I said to Mr May. Upon hearing Mr May's evidence read over, I now recollect having said to him what he states I said about the Ma-chow Wong petition.\n\nJOHN ROBERTS,-Recalled.\n\nI remember being instructed by Mr May to take possession of a lorcha off Wanchi, which was supposed to be the Alma. I did seize her and found that she was not the Alma. I found about 36 cannon on board; there were certainly not less. I suppose she could carry about 2,000 piculs of rice. Some of the guns were mounted, and some were dismounted, lying forward. From what I was told on board, I went to Mr Caldwell's office and saw Mr Caldwell. There was with him at the time a man whom I did not know, but whom I have since known as Ma-chow Wong. Mr Caldwell told me he had sold the lorcha and then commenced talking with the Chinaman, and told me she was not the Alma. I inquired about the guns. I don't recollect if he said to whom he had sold her, but it was evident from the manner in which he spoke and referred my inquiries concerning the guns to the Chinaman, that the latter was the owner or agent of the lorcha. I inquired about the guns, and Mr Caldwell spoke to the Chinaman, and said they were guns of two junks which were either repairing or had been lost on the coast.\n\nCross-examined-Mr Caldwell asked if there was a large vessel alongside, and I said that there was a lighter alongside, into which I thought they were going to hoist the guns. There are always a number of vessels at Wanchi.\n\nAdjourned till to-morrow at 12 o'clock.\n\nTWENTY FIRST DAY.\n\nSaturday, 10th July, at 12 o'clock Noon.\n\nPresent,-All the Members except the Hon. Mr Davies.\n\nJOHN BROWN COMPTON,-Called and examined.\n\nI have resided in China since January 1834. I knew Mr Caldwell when he first came to Canton, about July or ...",

        "content_text": "44 \n\nMerely to hand the depositions to Counsel, and for him to defend a prisoner at a fixed fee with them only is a mere delusion. All grounds of defence require to be ferreted out, as his instructions.\n\nAll this is painfully impressed on my memory by the fact that four absolutely innocent men were once convicted of murder through conspiracy to obtain an advertised reward. They would have been executed, but that an accident postponed the day of execution. Their innocence was afterwards absolutely proved, and they were discharged, but after weeks of agony, and the conspirators were convicted. On looking into that case, I came to the conclusion, with the light I then had, that if a witness, not called for the Crown, had been called for the prisoners, the conspiracy would have become patent at once; but Counsel, not having had time or opportunity to ascertain the facts, the witness was, probably in the exercise of a wise discretion under the special circumstances, not called.\n\n\"A defence, not to be a delusion, must be thoroughly got up.\"\n\n\"I have the honour to be,\nSir,\nYour most obedient Servant,\nJOHN SMALE,\nChief Justice\n\n2. In addition to recording his opinion that a trial for murder where Counsel and Solicitor are not both assigned for the prisoner is a delusion, His Honour conveyed to me subsequently on two occasions his conviction that in this Colony especially, no exception whatever from this rule should be allowed, inasmuch as the majority of those that may be tried on a capital charge would probably be individuals unacquainted with the practice and procedure of our Courts and of whose language, neither the Judge nor the Jury had any knowledge.\"\n\n3. The Chief Justice's opinion, in which I entirely concurred, was not, however, acted upon in the recent case of CHEUNG A SHIX, who was convicted of murder and sentenced to death.\n\n4. Inform the Acting Chief Justice and the Attorney General, that in all future cases where a man is tried on a capital charge, I think **SIR JOHN SMALE's** opinion and practice should be adhered to.\n\nTo the Honourable\nACTING COLONIAL SECRETARY.\n\nJ. POPE HENNESSY.\n2nd July, 1878.\n\n## The Daily Press\n### HONGKONG, JUNE 20TH, 1878.\n#### SUPREME COURT.\n##### June 19th.\n###### CRIMINAL SESSIONS.\n###### BEFORE THE ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE HON. F. SNOWDEN.\n###### THE SHEK O MURDER.\n\nChing Ashix was charged with murdering a woman named Chun Ngow Mui, at Shek O, on the 29th May; also on a second count with manslaughter. He was also charged on a third count with wounding with intent to murder a woman named Chun Amui, and on two other counts with wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm and with maliciously wounding; and on three other counts with wounding a child named Lee Amuk with intent to murder, wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm, and with simple wounding.\n\nThe Attorney-General, instructed by the Crown Solicitor, prosecuted, and Mr. Hayllar, Q.C., appeared for the defence. The jurors were Messrs. J. G. Smith, J. Scior, J. F. Hartman, H. Crawford, W. H. Percival, H. Hyndman, and J. Inglis.\n\nIn opening the case the Attorney-General said the woman Chun Amui had lived for a long time at Shek O, and the prisoner had also lived there. Chan Amui's husband was a fisherman, and died in October, 1877. After the death of her husband she became on very intimate terms, as he was instructed, with the prisoner, and the latter made her presents of cash at various times amounting in all, as the woman said, to about a dollar. Chun Amui's sister, the woman who was dead, lived at Kowloon city. She came over to Shek O and persuaded Chun Amui to go to Kowloon with her. They started on the 29th May, and the deceased carried Chun Amui's child. When they had gone some little distance they saw the prisoner, and some conversation took place between them and the prisoner, the prisoner demanding the return of the money he had given to Chun Amui. He then made a chop at the head of the child with a chopper he carried with him, and on Chun Ngow Mui interfering he attacked her with the chopper, and cut her in various places. Chun Amui tried to assist her sister, and he chopped her in several places, but she at last got hold of his wrist and wrested the chopper from him and threw it away. In the meantime they had been calling out, \"Save life,\" and a clansman of the women named Chan Amo, who was working in a field at some distance, came up and found the women holding the prisoner. He said he would take him to the police and they proceeded some little distance when the woman who had since died said she could go no further and sat down. Chan Amo then left them to go for the police, leaving the prisoner with Chan Amui, who held him by the queue. While he was gone Mr. d'Almeida came up and had some conversation with them the result of which was that he took the man prisoner and handed him over to the police, who had been informed of the occurrence by Chun Amo. The man was then brought to the police station and the women taken to hospital, where the deceased died.\n\nChun Amui was the first witness called. She described the attack, but said the prisoner did not ask for the return of the money he had given her; he took hold of the deceased's hand and tried to take her bangle off. The witness also denied having been on terms of intimacy with the prisoner; she said she was only on speaking terms with him, but he had given her some cash to buy things for the child. On being pressed in cross-examination, however, she admitted having been intimate with the prisoner, as stated by her at the magistracy. On the discrepancy being pointed out to her she replied that too much must not be expected of a woman's mind in these matters. She was asked if there had not been a quarrel between the prisoner and herself the night before the occurrence in consequence of her leaving. She said the prisoner was very angry but they did not quarrel, and she did not owe the prisoner any money.\n\n| Witness | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| Dr. von der Horek | Acting Superintendent of the Civil Hospital, described the wounds of the two women and the child. He said the deceased had five wounds upon her, and death resulted from a wound in the throat nearly severing the windpipe and from extreme loss of blood. Had she received medical assistance immediately after the occurrence the probability was she might have recovered, but seven hours had elapsed before she was brought to hospital. |\n| Chun Amo | The man who came to the assistance of the women. |\n| Mr. D'Almeida | Assistant light-house keeper at Cape D'Aguilar, who arrested the prisoner. |\n| Inspector Swanston |  |\n\nTheir evidence was the same as that given at the inquest.\n\nMr. Hayllar, in addressing the jury for the defence, said there was no doubt whatever that the woman who had died was killed by the prisoner, and he presumed it might be said there was no doubt that the main elements of the case detailed by the witnesses for the Crown were substantially true. But the issue he wished to place before them was this, whether the circumstances under which this crime was committed would make it amount to the grave offence of murder, or whether the jury could bring in a verdict on the lesser count of manslaughter. He quoted a passage from Archibald's Criminal Pleading to show the distinction between the two crimes, and went on to say that the duty lay upon him of showing that there was considerable provocation. They would notice that the case depended solely on the evidence of the first witness. Her story received most ample corroboration in many particulars, namely, that the wounds were inflicted with the chopper produced by the prisoner and in a certain place; in point of fact all the surrounding circumstances of the case were true. But there were some elements in the case which the woman shrank to-day from detailing to them in full, and she had done so under circumstances which would render them extremely chary of accepting her evidence on some most material points which really covered the whole ground on which he proposed to lay the case before them. The Attorney-General, in his very moderate opening of the case, had pointed out to them that there had been some intimacy existing between the prisoner and the first witness. They recollected that when the witness entered the box, to the surprise of everyone who had read the depositions, she flatly contradicted that part of the story. She denied that she had been on more than speaking terms with the prisoner, and she denied, although not so flatly, that there had been any money transactions between them, but she gradually admitted in rather a hesitating sort of way that the prisoner had given money to her child. She also, as it seemed to him, showed a great deal of animus in the way in which she told the story of the prisoner seizing her sister's arm and making a threat that he would take something from her by force. If that story were true and the prisoner had gone there to rob there would be no more to be said. The crime would amount as clearly to murder as any offence possibly could do. But these discrepancies in her story would lead them to avoid placing implicit confidence in the woman's truthfulness. He had elicited from her with some trouble that in order to save her reputation and the reputation of her village—for the Chinese place great value on the purity of their widows—she deliberately altered the story she had given before and supplied another motive for the crime. To do this she added all this about the bangle. There was nothing about all this in the depositions before the magistrate, and the point was so important that it could not have escaped attention had it existed, especially before such an experienced magistrate as Mr. May. On the face of the depositions the motive did not in the slightest degree appear to be robbery, but the motive according to her present story was robbery. What were they to say then of a woman's evidence, on which a man's life depended, which was subject to these fluctuations. Her answer was a very clever one, that they must not expect too much from the mind of a woman on these things. But, when the life of a man depended on it, they were entitled to a great deal more care and accuracy than could be found in this woman's story. The truth seemed to be, as far as he could make out, that there had been a quarrel overnight. The witness's sister had come to this village on the 28th May for some purpose, the witness said on a visit, but he could not help thinking there was rather more in the ...",

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:-",

The Council agrees, in the special circumstances under which\n\nthey left their work, to encourage the reinstatement of private employees, and also the payment of their wages for\n\nthe period of the strike.\n\n6. Kublin employees, other than the police, will be reinstated\n\nwith their wages paid for the period of the strike,\n\n7. As regards the police, it is recognised that they must be\n\ntreated on terms which shall cause no resentment or ill feeling, the desire of both sides being that a permanent settlement shall be effected. It is accordingly agreed that the Council will accept the resignation of the police and grant to each a gratuity based on length of service, and that, subject to the re-employment of such of the men as the Council may select for Police or other service (the number of such\n\nthe men being in the absolute discretion of the Council), strikers will accept the offer of Mr. am Yat-sen, whose good offices have been solicited in the matter, to incorporate the men not so re-employed into the Chinese Police Force of the City of Canton. In enlisting new Police, the Council will bear in mind the advisability of employing Kwangsung men in order to avoid the possibility of misunderstanding and friction likely to be caused by men who do not speak the Cantonese\n\ndialect.\n\n8. It is agreed that there are to be no reprisals on either side.\n\n9. On signature of this Agreement, the strikers will return to\n\nwork within 24 hours of the present Meeting.\n\n10\n\nKUKUMAN",
