E. SHELLEY, \n\nClerk of the Councils. \n\nJOHN FRANCIS DAVIS, Governor, &c. &c. \n\nHONGKONG.-Published by Authority. \n\nPrinted by Jous CarK. \n\nIn 230 H tong \n\nTo His Excellency the Governon \n\nof Hongkong and its Dependencies and the the Colony Honorable Members of the Legislative Coun- cil of Hongkong. HONORABLE SIRS-We respectfully beg to address you with reference to Ordinance No. \n\n17 of 1844 entitled \"An Ordinance for Esta- blishing a Registry of the Inhabitants of the \"Island of Hongkong and its Dependencies.\"-- passed the Legislative Council the 21st August last and published for the first time in the Friend of China of the 19th October to come into force the 1st November. \n\nTho it may not be strictly within our pro- vince to question the Policy of the publication of any ordinance, whether urgent or unimpor tant its principles and details, not taking place until within the short space of twelve days of the period of its coming into operation we cannot but express our regret that an Ordi- nance so materially affecting both public and private interests, which appears to have been passed so for back as the 21st August last, should not have been made known to us un- til within so short a period of our being called upon to acknowledge it as law-thus depriving as the opportunity of making that due \n\nrepresen tation of our opinions against such enactments as may appear to us to bear hard upon our in- terests: a privilege, which as being unrepre- sented in the Legislative Council, we think is our due considering the important interests we have at stake in the Colony. To these cir- cumstances we pray you to attribute the la- teness of our present address and not to any indifference to the subject at issue. \n\nWith these preliminary observations, we desire, therefore to represent to you Excellency and the respective Honorable Members of your Council the unfeigned, and extreme repugna- nce with which we have read the Ordinance in question and to enter our formal and de- clared Protest against the Principles that it involves. \n\nPrinciples-We do not hesitate to say as unjust as they are arbitrary and unconstitutional taxing British subjects unrepresented in the most iniquitous of forms, authorizing the most unheard of inquisitorial proceedings, without appeal or remedy, and placing the very power of residence to British subjects whose name may have hitherto been unsullied and unsus- pected in the hands of any one individual. \n\nFurther-We consider that the Law in question is opposed in its details to one of the great objects struggled for during the late was with the Chinese Empire, and against which special provision was made in the Treaty of Nankin-namely, the unchristan principle of bolding one men responsible for the acts of another. \n\npur- \n\nAgain-We would represent that the effect of this enactment if carried out will interfere with the labor and consequent prosperity of the Colony-inasumch, as many of us have entered in o contracts upon the faith of chases wale from your Government at enor- mous rentals, which must now either be broken or delayed from the demur that the contractor will make to introduce laborors for their fulfil- ment whiltst the despotism that is apparent in this act, will induce many respectable Chinese who have now sufficient difficulty in paying \n\nthe heavy house rent in this Colony entirely to abandon the place, and deter others from taking up their residence amongst us. And, Moreover-We give it as our unqualified opinion that the carrying out of the details of this Ordinance will be found impracticable, as well as inefficacious for the object sought to be in attained, that the principle that it in- volves is even more stringent than has ever yet been applied to a penal settlement and we confidently assert is repugnant to the feelings of every Honorable British subject. \n\nWith the above representation of our views of and ↑ Protest against this Ordinance we would pray your Excellency in Council either to modify its details so as to remove the intollerance of the principles that it gives law to, or to cause the operation of it to be sus- pended until reference can be made to the Home Co- vernment as we cannot suppose that such a measure can receive the sanction of Her most gracious Majesty. \n\nT.

Sloughing had commenced, and great formation of matter around the wound and behind. I consider it a dangerous wound, and that his life is in danger from it.\n\nWILLIAM LOCKHART, M.R.C.S.\n\nTaken before me, &c.\n\nShanghae, &c.\n\nThe examination of WILLIAM ROGERS, M.D., Surgeon of H.

I asked how the injury had been received? The prisoner present, William Cole, said he thought it was by a grape shot. I heard William Cole say that he had fired into the Junk. I considered it necessary that Ching-ke should be removed for treatment, as the consequences of such wounds are frequently dangerous. I heard the answer of the Admiral interpreted to Captain Pitman, that the Junk in question was a proper Junk, by which I understood not a piratical vessel.\n\nWILLIAM ROGERS, M.D., Surgeon.\n\nTaken before me, &c.\n\nShanghae, &c.\n\nThe examination of JOSHUA BERKELEY, Esq., mate on board H.

I returned with this answer, and was again despatched with orders to the master to be on board H. M.'s S. Childers with his Log and papers within half an hour. The next day I was on board the Junk and saw the marks of several shot holes in her side and one in her stern.

Sloop Childers, for that on the 1st day of June, in the Year of Our Lord One Thousand Eight Hundred and Forty-eight, being on board a certain vessel or schooner called the Spec in a certain place on the high seas near the sand called the \"Ruggeds\" on the coast of China, did piratically, feloniously, and violently with force and arms, attack, board, and take possession of a certain Junk or vessel, the property of a certain Chinese subject named Kwo-kin, the owner thereof, and did feloniously fire into the said Junk or vessel, whereby the said Kwo-kin the owner together with several of the seamen on board thereof were killed, and did take and carry away certain stores and apparel belonging to the said Junk, and certain Goods and Chattels belonging to the said owner and divers of the seamen on board.

J. D. ANDREWS, Clerk\n\nQuestions asked by Commander J. C. Pitman, of Ching-chong-ke (the Chinese Admiral in charge of 7 junks), on board his vessel.\n\nRugged Islands, the 23d of June, 1848\n\nHas the English schooner Spec any right to be here?-No.\n\nWhether he knew what the English schooner Spec was about there?-Did not know.\n\nDid he know whether the Junk taken by the Spec was a pirate or not?-Did not know.\n\nDid he know what the schooner Spec was about with the Junk?-Did not know.\n\nWhether the Captain of the schooner had brought any of the crew of the junk on board to him, or made any complaint to him relative to the junk?-\n\nWhat became of the crew and cargo of the junk?-Taken on board the Spec, he believed.\n\nIs that English schooner any right to take the junk?—No\n\nDid he know why the Captain of the Spec did not bring the crew of junk on board his vessel?-Did not know.\n\nAfter the 2 Chinamen belonging to the junk and the mate of the Spec had been taken on board the Mandarin's junk, the following Questions were asked.-\n\nWhether the papers of the junk were correct?—They are all proper and correct, and signed by the proper authorities.\n\nIs any complaint to make against the schooner?—No.\n\nWhat cause had the schooner Spec to take that junk, whether it was proper to do so, and if the Chinese Mandarins like it?—The junk's papers are proper, but she had no business to have so many arms on board. The English vessel did wrong to take her; she has a right to carry arms. If the Chinese Admiral likes, the arms shall be returned to the junk—Part of them.\n\nIf he likes, remainder shall be sent to him or thrown overboard?—To be sent to him. Which was done.\n\nCaptain Pitman then told the junkmen that their junk, rice, and part of their arms, would be returned to them, and they would be allowed to go on with their fishing. They said they would return to Chin-hai.\n\nCaptain Pitman told the Chinese Admiral that the English schooner Spec had fired into the junk and wounded 3 men, and that one of the wounded men would be sent to the Shanghae Hospital for medical treatment. He said it was a bad affair, but was much obliged.\n\nAre you now quite satisfied that the junk is not a pirate? Yes, she is a fishing Junk of Chin-hae.\n\nI, John Charles Pitman, Commander of Her Majesty's Sloop Childers, do solemnly declare that the above is a true statement of my Questions and the Answers made to same, &c. In witness whereof I hereunto attach my signature this 23d of June, 1848.\n\nJ. C.

At six o'clock on the morning of that day, the Childers being then about\n\nPage 365\n\nfive miles from the shore, I saw a schooner and a Chinese junk was in company with her; looking with the glass I judged the junk to be almost a quarter of a mile from her, but it was impossible to judge correctly at that distance; the junk was standing into a bay, in the same way as the Spec (afterwards found the schooner to be) The junk and the schooner between 8 and 9 that morning anchored in a bay there close to each other; in the bay were three mandarin junks and some fishing-boats. It was calm, and we were obliged to anchor at A. M. between two and three miles of the schooner. During the forenoon we observed the schooner and junk apparently alongside of each other. I saw that some things were being discharged from the junk into the schooner, and refuse, floated past the Childers; from the direction in which they floated I supposed they had been thrown over from the junk; the tide flowed in a right line between the junk and the Childers. At 4 P. M. that day I weighed and made the Childers down to the schooner. I anchored about half a cable from her, and found the junk about half a cable's length nearly astern of her. I found the schooner to be the Spec. In consequence of a message sent by me on board the Spec at 5.30 P. M. that day, prisoner Cole came on board the Childers, bringing a Log-book and some Ship's Articles (witness produces them) which he affirmed to be the Log-book and Articles of the Spec. He said that he was acting as master of the Spec for another person who was absent at Ningpo. I asked him what he was doing there and what he was doing with the junk; he said he had captured her. I asked him if he had had any communication with the Mandarins, and what he had done with the people belonging to the junk; he said No to the first question, and to the second that the people were on board the Spec. I then asked him why he had not taken these men to the Mandarins, or brought them to me, as I had been in sight of him all day; he said he did not know. It was getting late and I told him that I should examine his vessel in the morning. He said in reply to any questions that he had not put in for stress of weather: that he was from Ningpo, and did not know any place in particular to which he was bound; that the junk had not fired at him or molested him, but that the pilot had told him that she was a pirate. I asked him why he had hailed her. He did not reply to this, before nine o'clock next morning I went on board the junk and examined her; I found that everything had been taken out of her excepting some nets and some small tubs of fish for bait. There were several shot holes in her hull that might have been caused by sound shot from a three or six-pounder gun; then I went to the Spec and mustered the Spec's crew. I found the articles were incorrect. Prisoner Cole said that the Chinese crew of the junk were in the fore hold of the Spec. I saw them brought on deck from the fore hold; their hands were tied together; seven of them had wounds about them; one of them was so severely wounded that I sent for the medical officer to examine him. I asked Cole how these wounds had been received, he said by shot from the Spec. I asked Cole if he had papers of the junk, he said. No; I then asked for the head man of the junk. One of the Chinamen came forward and produced some papers that had been sewn up in his clothing, and which by the interpretation of a Chinese from the Childers were pronounced to be the junk's papers. I conveyed to the\n\nPage 366\n\nhanded them over to the Chinese Mandarins. When subsequently questioned Cole about it, Cole said that the wound was caused by a grape shot from the Spec; and prisoner Ephraim Francis added that he thought it must have been caused by a grape shot. I subsequently released the crew of the junk, excepting the man who was badly wounded, and who was sent on board the Childers to be under medical care. I went to the Mandarins, and the crew of the junk (that is two of them) were examined before them. The Mandarins, as the interpreter explained to me, wished the crew of the junk to be released, as their papers were good. By their request I also handed over to them half the arms of the junk, handing the others to the junk's crew. The junk was a fishing junk of the ordinary class fishing thereabouts,\n\nThe quantity of arms belonging to the junk was not unusually large; the crew said she had them to protect herself against pirates. I found in a list of the arms belonging to the junk as detailed to me by Cole. Between 4 and 5 P. M. on the 22d June last I saw two Chinese boats alongside the junk; shortly afterwards as we\n\nJ. C.

The revenue from tea sold in Ireland is not included from the year 1789 to 1828; it was kept separate until 1827.\n\n(*) Remarks. From 1731 to 1734, the prices of tea were, Bohea and Congou, 10s. to 14s. per lb.; Pekoe, 14s. to 18s.; Hyson, 25s. to 35s. per lb.\n\n\"The Commutation Act,\" passed in 1704, required the East India Company to make quarterly sales, to sell, even if 1d. were offered on the prime cost, and to keep always on hand a quantity equal to one year's consumption. The duty was reduced to 12 l. 10s. per cent., Customs and Excise. The object of the \"Commutation Act\" was to suppress smuggling, which it did effectually, to increase the importation of tea, and cause a diminution of price to the consumer; hence the augmentation of tea used, and not (as erroneously supposed) from a reduction of duty from 27, 10s. to 127, 108. per cent. In 1795 the duty was raised to 20 7. per cent.; in 1798, to 357.; in 1800, to 40; in 1801, to 50l.; in 1803, to 95; and\n\nAn examination of this Table shows that tea has had an extended consump yet the consumption of tea steadily increased. tion, irrespective of the duty levied, and chiefly during late years, when the duty has been highest.\n\nFrom 1818 to 1819, average price of tea, Bohea, 2s. 6d.; Congou, 3s.; Twankay, 3s. 2d.; Hyson, 5s. 3d. per lb.

During the years 1828, 1829, and 1830, there were sold at the East India House, 8,000,000 lbs. of Bohca, at an average of 1s. 6d. per lb. Bohea, 1s. 6d.; Congou, 2s.; Twankay, 2s. 2d.; Hyson, 3s. 7d. per lb.\n\nSince 1835, the prices of tea are given for Congou only, and on the 31st December in each year; when prices are low. The tea market is ruled by Congou, as it is the largest description sold; for instance, of 50,991,000 lb. of all sorts of tea delivered in 1846, there were 35,255,000 lbs of Congous. There was no importation of Bohen at all in 1846, In 1835, the whole of the teas, from Congou to Gunpowder (14 in number), averaged 1s. 9d. to 23. 9d. per Ib.; with a stock on hand of 52,750,000 lbs. on 31st December. In 1845, the same teas averaged, at the same period, 11d. to 2s. 3d. per lb.; with a stock on hand of 41,938,000 lb. The difference of price on Congous in December 1844 and 1845 was only 1d. to 2 4. per Ib. decline in the year. On the 31st December 1846, the prices of Congou were 9id. to 2s. 3d. per lb.; stock on hand 48,500,000 lbs.\n\n+ From Tea Circular of Messrs. Wm. Jas.

Any Publican or Keeper of a Boarding-house, or any other Person whatsoever, who shall by Words or by any other Means whatsoever, directly or indirectly, procure any Soldier, Sailor, or Marine, to desert, or shall by Words or by any other Means whatsoever attempt to procure or persuade any Soldier, Sailor, or Marine to desert, and any Publican or Keeper of a Boarding-house, or any other Person whatsoever who, knowing that any Soldier, Sailor, or Marine is about to desert, shall aid or assist him in deserting, or, knowing any Soldier, Sailor, or Marine to be a Deserter, shall conceal such Deserter, or aid or assist such Deserter in concealing himself, shall be deemed guilty of a Misdemeanour, and shall, on Conviction thereof, in a Summary Manner, before the Person for the Time being filling the Office of Chief or Assistant Magistrate of Police, and any Two other Magistrates, be liable for every such Offence to a Fine not exceeding One Hundred Pounds Sterling; and in default of Payment of such Fine, the same shall be levied by Distress and Sale (with the Costs and Charges consequent thereon) of the Goods and Chattels of the Offender, the Overplus, if any, after deducting the Charges of such Distress and Sale, to be rendered to the said Offender: Provided, that if upon the Return of the Officer charged with the Execution of the said Distress, it shall appear that no sufficient Distress can be found, or the Party adjudged to pay any Money shall at the Time of the said Adjudication or Conviction declare, or it shall otherwise appear, that he has no Goods or Chattels on which the said Distress can be levied, then the Convicting Magistrates, or any of them, may by Warrant commit such Offender to one of Her Majesty's Gaols, with or without hard Labour, there to remain for a Time in proportion to the Amount of the Penalty inflicted, and not exceeding Six Months in the whole, unless the said Sum to be levied, together with the Costs, shall be sooner paid.\n\nII. And a Portion not exceeding One-half of every such Fine so inflicted and levied, shall be payable to such Person or Persons by whose Information or Evidence the Conviction of such Offender shall be made.\n\nIII. And Any Publican or Keeper of a Boarding-house who shall have been convicted of any one or more of the above mentioned Offences, shall, in addition to the Penalty above provided, forthwith forfeit any License or Licenses then held by him as a Publican or Boarding-house Keeper in this Colony, and he shall be and is hereby declared incapable of holding thereafter any License as such Publican or Boarding-house Keeper within the said Colony.\n\nIV. And for the Purposes of this Ordinance, the Word \"Sailor\" shall be held to extend to every Person serving for the Time being in any Ship then under the Orders of the Commander-in-Chief of Her Majesty's Naval Forces in the East Indies and China Seas.\n\nV. And nothing herein contained shall prevent the Magistrates acting under this Ordinance from sending any Case arising out of any of the said Offences for Trial at the Supreme Court, which in the exercise of their Discretion they may consider should be investigated there.\n\nPassed the Legislative Council of Hongkong, this 18th Day of May, 1852.\n\nL.

That the Harbour-Master having obtained the Sanction of the Chief Magistrate of Police, in every Case shall have Power to license a sufficient Number of fit and proper Persons to keep Boarding-houses for Seamen, and every such License shall be countersigned by the Colonial Secretary, and shall be granted for such Period not exceeding One Year, and upon such Terms and Security, and shall be renewable upon such Conditions, as the said Colonial Secretary may appoint; and it shall be lawful for the said Colonial Secretary to demand for every such License an annual Fee of Five Pounds Sterling, or at the rate thereof according to the Term of such License; and every such House shall be for the Reception of such Number of Seamen only as shall be expressed in the License, and shall not be granted until there have been constructed in the House to be licensed a suitable Room or Cabin for each Boarder, and a general Room of sufficient Size wherein the Boarders may dine and sit; and no such Boarding-house shall be a House licensed for the Sale of spirituous or fermented Liquors, nor shall any charge for Spirituous or Fermented Liquor be allowed in any account for the amount of which any Seaman may be indebted or stated to be indebted to any Person, and such Boarding-house shall be separated by at least One Intervening House on either Side of it from any House licensed for such Sale as aforesaid, and every such Boarding-house shall be open at all Times to the Visit of any Magistrate, or of the Harbour-Master, or of any Constable specially appointed for the general Service of visiting such Houses. And the Harbour-Master may refuse to grant any such License, and may limit the Number and Description of Seamen to be boarded in each House, and may make Rules (subject however as to this and all other Powers vested in him by this Ordinance, to the Control of the Governor) for the Government of such Houses, and regulate the Charge to be made for Board and Lodging; and a Copy of such Rules in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Hindostance, and Chinese, shall be hung up in each House for the Inspection of the Inmates; and the Infraction of any one of such Rules shall subject the Offender in every Instance to a Penalty not exceeding Five Pounds Sterling, and for a second Offence may deprive the Offender, if the Keeper of such House, of his License as an additional Punishment.\n\nVII. And that if any Person not having obtained a License for keeping a Boarding-house for Seamen shall keep one, he shall be liable to a Penalty not exceeding the Sum of Twenty Pounds; and that the Fact of more than one Seaman boarding or lodging in the House of any Person, shall be prima facie Proof of the Keeping of a Boarding-house for Seamen by such Person. But nothing in this Ordinance contained shall be construed to prevent any Seaman from having the whole or any part of any unfurnished House for the Residence of himself or his Family, and boarding himself therein; and nothing herein contained with reference to Boarding-houses shall apply to Licensed Retailers of spirituous or fermented Liquors until the Time of their present Licenses shall have expired.\n\nVIII. That every Keeper of a Boarding-house for Seamen shall cause daily to be entered in a Book in English, the Name and Description of each additional Seaman who has on that Day come to board or lodge at his House, and the Name of each Seaman who has left his House on that Day after being a Lodger or Boarder therein, and such other Particulars as the Harbour-Master may direct; and every Keeper of a Boarding-house shall, before Ten o'clock in the Morning of Monday, Wednesday, and Friday in each Week, send to the Harbour-Master's Office a List copied from his Book of the Seamen on that Day boarding or lodging in his House, and of those Seamen Boarders or Lodgers who left his House on any or either of the intermediate Days, and shall also particularize in such List those Seamen who wish for immediate Employment, and place opposite to the Names of those last named, the Names of the Ships from which they were last discharged; and the Harbour-Master shall keep the Lists so furnished to him constantly in view, and in a conspicuous Part of his Office, for the Convenience of Masters of Ships requiring Men, and shall also post in a similar manner, if required so to do, such Notices for the Supply of Men by Masters of Ships as the said Masters shall furnish.\n\nIX. Provided always that nothing in this Ordinance contained shall prevent Masters or Mates of Ships from Boarding or Lodging elsewhere than at Licensed Boarding-houses.\n\nX. That no Seaman who shall have been actually shipped by the Harbour-Master or his Deputy on board any Vessel in compliance with this Ordinance, shall, during the Time for which he is then shipped, be liable to be arrested on Civil Process, unless the Debt or Demand shall exceed the Sum of Five Hundred Dollars; Provided always that by the Term Seaman in this Section shall be meant only a Person who has within the space of One Year previously served on board a Ship for Wages as a Seaman, and that the Protection from Arrest hereby granted shall not be held to extend to any Person or Persons not coming within such Definition.\n\nXI. That the Harbour-Master, or Person deputed by the Harbour-Master for that purpose, before granting a Port Clearance to any Ship, may, if he have reasonable Grounds for belief that any Deserter from a Merchant Vessel be concealed on board of such Vessel, proceed on board of such Vessel and then and there require the Master thereof to institute due and diligent Search for such Deserter, and further, if he deem it necessary, require the said Master to make Oath or solemn Declaration that to the best of his Knowledge and Belief, after due and diligent Search, no such Deserter is concealed within or about his Ship; and any Master of a Vessel refusing or unnecessarily delaying to comply with such Requisition or Requisitions of the Harbour-Master, or such deputed Person, shall be liable upon Conviction before any Magistrate to a Fine not exceeding Forty Pounds Sterling, and to Imprisonment until such Fine be paid.\n\nXII. That any Person who shall forge or alter any Ticket, Certificate, Document, or Matter or Thing named in this Ordinance, shall be liable to be imprisoned for a Term not exceeding Three Months with Hard Labour; and any Seaman or other Person who shall give a false Description of his Services, or shew, or make, or procure to be made, any false Character, or shall make false Statements as to the Name of the last Ship in which he served, or as to any other Information which may be required of him by any Person having lawful Authority to demand such Information, shall be liable to a Penalty not exceeding Ten Pounds Sterling.\n\nXIII. That where no other Mode has been provided, all Pecuniary Fines under this Ordinance shall be recoverable before any one Magistrate on Summary Proceeding, and if such Fine be not paid, the Amount thereof, with Costs, if any, shall be levied on the Offender's Goods and Chattels; or if the Offenders fail to point out sufficient Goods and Chattels whereon to levy, such Offender may be imprisoned for a Term not exceeding Three Months, and the Magistrate before whom the Case may be heard, may award the whole or any Part of the Fine as a Compensation for Injuries sustained, or as a Reward to any Person who may have been active in the Apprehension of the Offender.\n\nXIV. That any Infringement of the Provisions of this Ordinance not provided for by any special Penalty, shall subject the Offender to a Penalty not exceeding Ten Pounds Sterling, and that no Conviction under this Ordinance shall be quashed for want of Form, or be removed by Certiorari into the Supreme Court, and no Warrant of Committal shall be held void by reason of any Defect therein, so that there be a good and valid Conviction to sustain the same.\n\nXV. That the Fees levied under this Ordinance be accounted for by the Harbour-Master or any other Person receiving the same to the Colonial Government in the usual way, and that such Fees be applied in making the Water Police of the Harbour of Hongkong a more numerous and effective Body, in adding if necessary to the Establishment attached to the Harbour-Master's Office, and towards providing for the Relief of Sick Seamen in such manner as shall seem proper to the Governor and the Executive Council.\n\nPassed the Legislative Council of Hongkong, this 6th Day of November, 1852.\n\n1.

The number has been augmented by subsequent Commissions to Fifteen in all.\n\nHis Excellency has caused a Return to be made of the number of attendances at Petty Sessions since the time of the issuing these Commissions.\n\nHe finds that one gentleman has given six attendances, five gentlemen have given two attendances, and two gentlemen have given one attendance, while seven gentlemen have given no attendance since their appointment.\n\nHe has to remark that there have been only two occasions on which more than one Justice has assisted the stipendiary Magistrates with their presence and advice.\n\nOn these two occasions four Justices attended, three of whom for the first time since they were sworn in. They are stated to have been present at the special request of the Acting Chief Magistrate—and on the first of those occasions (the 23rd May) there was, as it appears, an unanimous concurrence in a decision by which, in the judgment of His Excellency, the obvious intent and meaning of the Law were abrogated and annulled by the action of the Bench.\n\nOn the 2nd June, invited again (as is officially reported) specially by the Acting Chief Magistrate, three of the Justices who had been present at the sitting of 23rd May, and another Justice who took his seat then for the first and only time in which he has ever acted, formed the Bench, and these Justices again supported the Chief Magistrate in his determination not to give effect to the Law. His Excellency is informed that one of the Justices present—a member of the Legislative Council—distinctly pointed out to his colleagues the error which had been committed on the 23rd May and which had been the subject of reference to the Legislative Council. That gentleman, of course, dissented from the conclusion by which a majority co-operated with the Chief Magistrate in his extraordinary course of proceeding.\n\nFor the maintenance of that supreme authority of the Law which, in the great interests of the whole community, every Government is bound to provide for, and of which all Justices of the Peace are expected to be instruments and auxiliaries, His Excellency directed an application for a mandamus against the Acting Chief Magistrate to be applied for to the Chief Justice in the Supreme Court of the Colony, which mandamus has been granted by His Honor, calling upon the Chief Magistrate to enforce the Law. Its granting was accompanied, as His Excellency is informed, by a declaration from the Bench that \"the Magisterial Decisions were against the Law,\" and a prompt obedience was recommended to its requirements.\n\nHis Honor expressed a hope that there would be an immediate and satisfactory return to the mandamus, showing that there is no disposition to overturn the authority of the Law, but rather to give effect to its provisions.\n\nHis Excellency concurring in that wish, and desirous of promoting that unity of purpose and of action, which should undoubtedly be the object of all who are invested with Public authority for the maintenance of Law and Order, has directed the memorandum to be circulated among all the Justices of the Peace.\n\n(Signed)\n\nBy order of His Excellency the Governor, with the concurrence of the Honorable Members of the Executive Council.\n\nL. DE ALMADA E CASTRO,\n\nClerk of Councils, Government Offices, Victoria, Hongkong. 19th August, 1856.\n\nAddressed to,\n\nThe Honorable W. T. MERCER, Esq; The Honorable J. F. EDGER, Esq; CHARLES MAY, Esq;\n\nJOSEPH JARDINE, Esq; GEORGE LYALL, Esq; JOHN D. GIBB, Esq\n\nCHARLES F. STILL, Esq;\n\nR. S. WALKER, Esq;\n\nJOHN RICKETT, Esq;\n\nCaptain T. V. WATKINS, RN,\n\nW. H.

ANSTEY, Esq;\n\nSAM GRAY, Esq;\n\nJOHN SCARTU, Esq.\n\nHONGKONG, 26th August, 1856,\n\nTo The Honble. W. T. MERCER, Esq.,\n\nColonial Secretary.\n\nSIR—We have the honour to address you with reference to a Memorandum dated 19th Instant, addressed to the Justices of the Peace of this Colony, by order of His Excellency the Governor, with the concurrence of the Honorable Members of the Executive Council.\n\nThe first four paragraphs being of a general nature we pass over for the present, but the remainder of the Memorandum demands more particular notice from us, as the Justices immediately alluded to therein.\n\nWe deem it unnecessary to enter into any discussion regarding the merits of the cases to which particular reference is made, or to the decision at which we arrived after careful deliberation.\n\nIf the complainant was dissatisfied therewith, recourse was open by appeal to the Supreme Court.\n\nWe cannot however permit the charges and insinuations contained in the Memorandum to pass unnoticed, impugning as they do our motives of action while sitting on the Bench as sworn Magistrates.\n\nWe observe that in the \"judgment of His Excellency the obvious intent and meaning of the Law were abrogated and annulled by the action of the Bench on the 23rd May, and, that on the 2nd June, invited again (as is officially reported) specially by the Acting Chief Magistrate, three of the Justices who had been present at the sitting of 23rd May, and another Justice who took his seat then for the first and only time in which he has ever acted, formed the Bench, and these Justices again supported the Chief Magistrate in his determination not to give effect to the Law, and co-operated with the Chief Magistrate in his extraordinary course of proceeding.\"\n\nWe know not by what course of reasoning His Excellency may have arrived at these conclusions, but, while we, with all due respect, indignantly deny the imputations thus cast upon our motives, we challenge the right of His Excellency, the Executive Council, or any other authority to dictate our course of action while on the Bench, or to publicly question, in such terms, our decision when given.\n\nWe would also point out to His Excellency that the inference which may be drawn from the Memorandum under notice, that the writ of Mandamus issued by His Honor the Chief Justice had reference to the decisions of the Justices on 23rd May and 2nd June, is an incorrect one. The question submitted to His Honour was, whether, under the Ordinance No. 8 of 1856, a Magistrate could decline to hear a fresh complaint on a case which he considered already decided. His Honour decided that he could not refuse to hear such a complaint, and desired the Acting Chief Magistrate and Mr. May to enquire, without delay, into the complaint, and adjudicate thereon; but so far as we are able to learn, His Honour from the Bench made no reference to and gave no opinion upon the decisions of 23rd May and 2nd June.\n\nReflections, involving a slur upon our character, have been cast upon us, for which we were quite unprepared; and, feeling deeply their injustice, we have submitted our conduct in the cases which have given rise to them to our Brother Justices, whose opinion thereon will reach His Excellency in another form,—We have, &c., &c.\n\nTo The Honorable\n\nGEO. LYALL. WM. LAMOND,\n\nTHOS. C. LESLIE.\n\nR. C. ANTROBUS.\n\nHONGKONG, 20th August, 1856.\n\nThe COLONIAL SECRETARY of Hongkong,\n\nSIR,\n\nWe, the undersigned, Justices of the Peace for the Colony of Hongkong, have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of the Memorandum issued by His Excellency the Governor, under date the 19th instant, addressed to all the members of the commission of the Peace, as well official as non-official.\n\nA meeting of the Justices, duly called by circular, took place on the 25th instant, for the purpose of taking the memorandum into consideration. The meeting was attended by the undersigned, and by the four non-official Justices specially alluded to in the memorandum, comprising the whole of the non-official Justices in the commission at present in the colony, with the exception of one who was prevented from attending by indisposition. None of the official Justices attended.\n\nThe grave importance of the imputations made by His Excellency in the memorandum, and of the principles involved in it, compelled our most serious attention, and we beg respectfully to submit to His Excellency the following observations in reply.\n\nThe remarks in the memorandum regarding the return of attendances of Justices at Sessions appear to imply a complaint...",

On both of the occasions in question the Bench specially and repeatedly urged the Plaintiff to remove the case by writ of certiorari to the Supreme Court, not because any doubt was entertained of the justice or legality of their decision, but because it was of the greatest consequence that the construction of an ordinance affecting interests of great magnitude, and so ambiguous in its terms, should at once be settled by the highest judicial authority of the colony. Considering that the Plaintiff on both occasions was representing the interests of the Crown, it is our humble opinion that the course recommended by the Bench of Justices would have been not only more correct but more just and dignified than that which His Excellency has seen fit to pursue.\n\nIt further came under the notice of the meeting that upon both occasions the Bench specially and repeatedly urged the Plaintiff to remove the case by writ of certiorari to the Supreme Court...\n\n...\n\nPage 282\n\n(Signed) SAM GRAY, Chairman of the Meeting of Justices of the Peace on the 25th instant.\n\nJ.

Her owner hearing of this in Macao came over to get all the information he could and reported the same to the Police on the 18th, but as he then knew not where his Lorcha was taken to by the Pirates, of course nothing could have been done to recover the same.\n\nHe went back to Macao and arrived there on the 28th where he learned all the particulars of the capture of his Lorcha by ...\n\nsterious circumstances--but perhaps by relating the same it will speak for itself, and bring to light the case of the Lorcha No. 71 above mentioned.\n\nOn the evening of the 27th January the Portuguese ...\n\n1--Par.

The task is to proofread this text, correcting spelling errors, fixing spacing issues, rejoining broken sentences, and restoring paragraph breaks, all while preserving the original content and format as much as possible.\n\n## Step 2\nFirst, we need to identify and correct spelling errors. For example, \"Wongkong\" should be \"Hongkong\", \"sh. 1000j€rawa\" should be \"sh. 1000\", and \"Brit. bk 670 Dod\" should be \"Brit. bk 670 Dod\" (no change needed here, but \"Brit.\" is an abbreviation for \"British\" which is correct). \"Dut. 764 ric\" should be \"Dut. 764\", and \"Earl of Windeer\" should be \"Earl of Windsor\".\n\n## Step 3\nNext, we need to fix spacing issues. For instance, \"XCR (85)72\" should be \"XCR(85)72\", and \"GR 1178/1922/32 (III)\" should be \"GR1178/1922/32(III)\".\n\n## Step 4\nWe also need to rejoin broken sentences. The text contains many lines that are split due to OCR layout errors. For example, sentences that are broken across lines without a logical reason should be merged.\n\n## Step 5\nRestoring paragraph breaks is another crucial step. The OCR output may have incorrectly merged or split paragraphs. We need to format the text into proper paragraphs based on the content and logical breaks.\n\n## Step 6\nIndicate missing words with \"...\" if a word is clearly missing due to OCR damage.\n\n## Step 7\nThe text should be formatted in standard Markdown. This includes using headers (#, ##, ###), sub-headers, bold-type (**bold**), and tables using Markdown table syntax.\n\n## Step 8\nSince the text is a mix of different documents, including newspaper articles and court transcripts, we need to be careful not to rephrase or rewrite the content. The task is to correct errors and improve formatting without changing the style, tone, or word choice.\n\n## Step 9\nNo translation of text is required, and file references should not have any spacing inside parentheses.\n\n## Step 10\nPage numbering lines, if detected (usually six lines in total, three at the page beginning and three at the end), should be kept as they are, as they were originally used during scanning to delineate page metadata.\n\n## Step 11\nThe output should be in HTML using  for paragraphs and \n only if absolutely necessary.\n\nThe final answer is: \n\n324\n\n25\n\n[NO. 6.

D. 1856.\n\nKAMEHAMEHA. \n\n### HOLLOWAY'S PILLS \n\n**NEW ADVERTISEMENT.** Holloway's Pills.-The immense sale of these invaluable Pills, in all parts of India, is a sufficient guarantee of their numerous virtues, as well as of the talent of their inventor; indeed, many of the cures wrought by their use alone appear as if they were a miracle. In cases of derangement of the liver, the stomach and bowels, bilious disorders, and irregularities of the system, their effect is miraculous, while in female complaints and dropsy they are equally valuable. The thousands of cures performed only in India by these invaluable Pills render them, indeed, a blessing to the afflicted, and therefore, every family should ever be without them.\n\nWHY ARE WE SICK? It has been the lot of the human race to be weighed down by disease and suffering. Holloway's Pills are specially adapted to the relief of the Weak, the Nervous, the Delicate, and the lame, of all ages, sex, and constitutions. Professor Holloway personally superintends the manufacture of his medicines, and offers them to a free and enlightened people, as the best remedy the world ever saw for the removal of disease.\n\n| Complaints | Effects |\n| --- | --- |\n| Bilious Disorders | Miraculous |\n| Female Complaints | Equally Valuable |\n| Dropsy | Valuable |\n| Debility | Relief |\n| Dyspepsy | Relief |\n| Gout | Relief |\n| Headache | Relief |\n| Constipation | Relief |\n| ... | ... |\n\nSold by all Druggists, and at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London.\n\n### THE FRIEND OF CHINA AND HONGKONG GAZETTE.\n\n#### Portuguese in rail trade,—Lily and Queen,— Cruising.—Protuli \n\n#### VESSELS FROM ENGLAND FOR CHINA.

Whatever may be the custom at home in this respect, we think that a great benefit would result to us and our fellow-citizens, were an amalgamation effected between the two branches of the Legal Profession here, and should you feel disposed to concur in our views, we trust that you will take such steps as may seem to you best adapted to carry out our wishes.\n\nWe do not desire this change on account of the expenses attending legal proceedings, as we know they must necessarily be high in this place; but we can see no sufficient reason why we should be compelled to employ two advisers when it would be much more convenient for us to confide the whole of our Law matters to one. The conviction has long been gaining on us, that in a young and small community like ours, there should be but one class of practitioners, and that unrestricted competition between all the properly admitted Members of the Supreme Court would be a great improvement on the existing state of things.\n\nWe have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient Servants,\n\n| Firm/Representative | \n| --- | \n| DENT & Co. | \n| LYALL, STILL & Co. | \n| BIRLEY & Co. | \n| TURNER & Co. | \n| For MERCANTILE BANK,-JOHN COSTERTON, Manager | \n| SIEMSSEN & Co. | \n| BLENKIN, RAWSON & Co. | \n| MAXN, FISCHER, Superintendent P. & O.

On the 26th ultimo I was honoured with information from the Colonial Office, that, to the prayer of my Memorial (for a re-instatement in Her Majesty's Service, and for pay for the period that I waited to know the pleasure of Her Majesty's Government, as to my suspension from the Office of Registrar of Deeds &c. in this Colony,) The Right Honourable The EARL GREY could not accede.\n\nThe decision thus communicated to me is fraught with consequences of so ruinous a nature, that, unless averted, I shall be constrained to appeal to Her Most Gracious Majesty in Council or to Parliament.\n\nBut, as this course may be offensive to his Lordship (who, through a misunderstanding of my case or want of time to look into it, has neglected to accord to me the justice which is my due) I deem it my duty thus to address you, Sir, to beg that you will intercede with his Lordship to order me the pay which I have solicited; and, as I cannot be further employed, that compensation may be awarded to me for an abrupt dismissal from the public service of this Colony I take this opportunity to forward attested copies of correspondence had during the past month having relation to the case out of which my suspension arose, as, in the event of further communication on this subject, there may be a necessity for reference to them.\n\nI have, &c.,\n\nTo HERMAN MERIVALE, Esq., AM, Under Secretary of State for the Colonies.\n\nSIR,\n\nCORRESPONDENCE REFERRED TO IN ABOVE LETTER.\n\nHongkong, Saturday Evening, 8th December, 1849.\n\nIn claiming your Excellency's attention to the case of The QUEEN VS TARRANT and others, which was dismissed in consequence of the absence of Lo-keen-teen, alias Lo-yuen-suy, alias Lo-chong, Comprador lately in the employment of the Honorable Major William Caine, Colonial Secretary, I have now the honor to inform you that the said individual is at present residing with Loo-A-king, otherwise Aqui, in the Lower Bazaar in this Town, and as my client Mr. Tarrant informs me, that Major Caine has stated to your Excellency his opinion that the said person was client's character in the habit of extorting moneys in his name from the Lessee of the Central Market, I trust that as my client's character is at stake through the aspersions cast upon him by the Colonial Secretary, and which were not cleared up, in consequence of the alleged absence of the individual referred to, that your Excellency will be pleased to cause such proceedings to be adopted against the said Lo-keen-teen as to your Excellency in your discretion shall seem fit.\n\nI have, &c.,\n\nTo His Excellency, S. G. BONHAM, Esq., C.B.,\n\n&c., &c., &c.\n\n(Signed)\n\nWM. GASKELL.\n\nP. S. I have to apologise for intruding upon your Excellency's attention at this late hour on the evening of Saturday, but must be permitted to plead as my excuse, that the information above referred to, has only just come to my hands.\n\nW. G.\n\nCOLONIAL SECRETARY'S Office, Victoria, Hongkong, 10th December, 1849.\n\nSIR,\n\nI am directed to acknowledge your letter of the 8th instant, to the address of His Excellency The Governor, which reached him on Saturday evening at half past eight o'clock, and to acquaint you that the prosecution entered against Mr. Tarrant by the late Acting Attorney General, having been withdrawn by that Officer, it is not His Excellency's intention to take any further steps in this matter.\n\nI am further directed to add that Major Caine never stated to the Governor that in his opinion Lo-keen-teen was in the habit of extorting moneys in his name from the Lessee of the Central Market\"\n\nI have, &c.\n\nTo WM. GASKELL, Esq.\n\n(Signed) W. CAINE,\n\nColonial Secretary.\n\nMY LORD,\n\nVICTORIA, HONGKONG, 22nd JULY, 1848.\n\nPresuming that the despatches of the late Governor would give all the information necessary in enabling you to judge if there existed any necessity for my being suspended from employment under this Government, (as appealed against in my letter to your Lordship's address of the 19th of August last) I have up to the present time patiently refrained from further intrusion on your Lordship's attention.\n\nSeveral months having however elapsed since the Sessions Report of December 1847 will have reached England, wherein the charge of Conspiracy brought against me is stated as \"proclaimed discharged,\" I trust that the anxiety which I naturally feel to learn your Lordship's pleasure, amounting (on account of the peculiar circumstances in which I am situated) to an urgent necessity, will plead as sufficient apology for my presuming to solicit the favor of your Lordship's decision as early as may be possibly convenient.\n\nWhen before addressing your Lordship, my knowledge as to the reality of the then alleged extortions on the part of the Chinese was comparatively small; Indeed it must appear evident to every one, that it was neither my intention nor wish to prove that any extortions had been in reality effected the whole tenor of my action (impelled by a sense of duty) being, to check Chow-Aoan the Treasury Comprador in the attempts which he so audaciously made before my eyes, and to bring down, if merited, a punishment on those who so freely alleged that the Honourable Major Caine participated in the Monies which his Compradors dishonestly obtained.\n\nDreading however, that as despite all the grave charges made by me against this man (Chow-Aoan), (borne out as those charges were by the united testimony of Wei-Afoon and Tam-Achoey) I had been committed as a Criminal almost solely on the false assertions which it was apparent that he made with a view of screening himself, it became necessary for me in preparing my defence, to search out the reality and existence, if any, of the extortions alleged, when if other such false evidence was brought against me, I might possibly be prepared to plead justification and necessity; for conscious of the utter impossibility of its being honestly proved that I had tried to injure the reputation of the Honourable Major Caine, or that the course which I had deemed it proper to pursue, had injured or was calculated to injure that gentleman's character, I should otherwise have been disposed to sit down and let the charges brought against me take their course.\n\nBut owing to the extreme difficulty of eliciting truthful statements from Chinese where their fears or their personal interests are in any way concerned, it has only been very lately, (and not until after going to the expense of purchasing at Auction the equity of redemption of the Central Market Leasehold, and placing myself in a position to command whatever of truth could be arrived at) that I have succeeded in obtaining what I believe to be the whole facts of one of these cases, with which it appears to me necessary your Lordship should be acquainted, and I beg leave to detail them in as brief a manner as possible.\n\nIn a Chinese Document, bearing every evidence of being genuine, dated the 3d day of the 6th month of the 25th year of the reign of Taoukwang, answering to the 12th day of June, 1845, it is stated, that in reply to a petition from one Wei-Aqui, the Governor (Sir John F. Davis) and Major Caine Chief Magistrate, had promised him the Lease of a piece of ground to build a Market, but that being short of funds to carry out his plans, he had requested his brother Wei-Afoon, and one Chun-tae-sing to advance monies and enter into partnership with him, which Partnership was certified by the Document in question, whereby Wei-Afoon and Chun-tae-sing agreed to bring the sum of $7000, the amount estimated as necessary for the building and establishment of the Market: and it was stipulated that all the profits arising should accumulate without being touched by either of the parties until the $7000 was made up and returned into their hands, and that then the profits should be divided into thirteen shares of which Wei-Afoon and Chun-tae-sing were each to have five shares, and the remaining three given to Wei-Aqui.\n\nThe Lease of the Market was issued to Wei-Acqui solely, on the 17th of July subsequent to the execution of this document, and the houses and Market stalls were speedily erected: In the account Books of the Market for the first and second months of the Market's establishment appear the following entries\n\nTHE EARL GREY,\n\nHer Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Colonies.\n\nPage 116\n\n \n0\n\nB\n\nC\n\nD\n\nK",

The fruits of this study were from time to time sent home, in the shape of gifts to the Museums of this country, among others to this Museum, which has been signally enriched by Dr. MURRAY'S contributions. His chief object in seeking to return to China is to prosecute, on a wider and more systematic scale, the investigation of Chinese Science and Art, with a view to make these better known to Europeans, and to render the great resources of the country and the skill of its inhabitants available to Great Britain.\n\nHe is an accomplished, intelligent physician, well skilled in the Sciences, of kindly disposition, and irreproachable character. Were he appointed to the office he seeks, he would secure for the Museums of this Country examples of Chinese products, natural and artificial, of the greatest value; and it seems most desirable that the Medical Officer of a Colony so important as Hong Kong, should, like the lamented Dr. Harland, be not only a good surgeon, but qualified to turn his opportunities of intercourse with the Chinese to the greatest account, as a medium of communication between them and his own countrymen at home.\n\nGEORGE WILSON, M.D., Regius Professor of Technology, University Edinburgh; Director of the Industrial Museum of Scotland.\n\nFrom DOUGLAS MACLAGAN, Esq., M.D., F.R.C.S.E., F.R.S.E, Lecturer on Materia Medica, Surgeons' Hall, Edinburgh, &c. &c.\n\nMY DEAR DR. MURRAY,\n\n28, NEREOT ROW, EDINBURGH,\n\n18th November, 1858.\n\nI cannot imagine that any one can have better claims than yourself for the appointment of Colonial Surgeon at Hong Kong. You had, in common with many others, the advantage of a very full professional education here, and you turned to the best account your opportunities of instruction. Since that time you have had what very few others have acquired—a long practical acquaintance with disease in China itself. Since your return home you have been most assiduously adding to your store of knowledge, by constant study at our great medical school.\n\nOn these grounds I express my very decided opinion of your high qualifications for this office, adding only my expressions of warm regret that you should be so far removed from all of us here who esteem you so highly, both professionally and personally, as I do.\n\nBelieve me,\n\nYours very truly,\n\nDOUGLAS MACLAGAN.\n\nDR. J. IVOR MURRAY.\n\nFrom WM. T. GAIRDNER, ESQ., M.D., F.R.C.P.E., Lecturer on the Practice of Physic, Surgeons' Hall, Edinburgh, and Physician to the Royal Infirmary, &c. &c.\n\n52, NORTHUMBERLAND STREET, EDINBURGH,\n\nNovember 18th, 1858.\n\nDr. JOHN IVOR MURRAY having stated to me that he is a Candidate for the office of Colonial Surgeon at Hong Kong, I have great pleasure in bearing testimony in his favor.\n\nDR. MURRAY was known to me fifteen or sixteen years ago, as one of the ablest, steadiest, and most persistently industrious of the medical students of that time. We were very intimately acquainted as fellow-students of the same standing, and I have since become informed of almost everything important in his subsequent career.\n\nThat career has been singularly honorable. DR. MURRAY went to the East almost without an introduction and without a friend, except those he left at home.

The fruits of this study were from time to time sent home, in the shape of gifts to the Museums of this country, among others to this Museum, which has been signally enriched by Dr. Murray's contributions. His chief object in seeking to return to China is to prosecute, on a wider and more systematic scale, the investigation of Chinese Science and Art, with a view to make these better known to Europeans, and to render the great resources of the country and the skill of its inhabitants available to Great Britain.\n\nHe is an accomplished, intelligent physician, well skilled in the Sciences, of kindly disposition, and irreproachable character. Were he appointed to the office he seeks, he would secure for the Museums of this Country examples of Chinese products, natural and artificial, of the greatest value; and it seems most desirable that the Medical Officer of a Colony so important as Hong Kong, should, like the lamented Dr. Harland, be not only a good surgeon, but gratified to turn his opportunities of intercourse with the Chinese to the greatest account, as a medium of communication between them and his own countrymen at home.\n\nGEORGE WILSON, M.D., Regius Professor of Technology, University Edinburgh; Director of the Industrial Museum of Scotland.\n\nFrom DOUGLAS MACLAGAN, ESQ., M.D., F.R.C.S.E., F.R.S.E, Lecturer on Materia Medica, Surgeons' Hall, Edinburgh, &c. &c.\n\nMY DEAR DR. MURRAY,\n\n28, NEREOT ROW, EDINBURGH,\n\n18th November, 1858.\n\nI cannot imagine that any one can have better claims than yourself for the appointment of Colonial Surgeon at Hong Kong. You had, in common with many others, the advantage of a very full professional education here, and you turned to the best account your opportunities of instruction. Since that time you have had what very few others have acquired—a long practical acquaintance with disease in China itself. Since your return home you have been most assiduously adding to your store of knowledge, by constant study at our great medical school.\n\nOn these grounds I express my very decided opinion of your high qualifications for this office, adding only my expressions of warm regret that you should be so far removed from all of us here who esteem you so highly, both professionally and personally, as I do,\n\nDR. J. IVOR MURRAY.\n\nBelieve me,\n\nYours very truly,\n\nDOUGLAS MACLAGAN.\n\nFrom WM. T. GAIRDNER, ESQ., M.D., F.R.C.P.E., Lecturer on the Practice of Physic, Surgeons' Hall, Edinburgh, and Physician to the Royal Infirmary, &c. &c.\n\n52, NORTHUMBERLAND STREET, EDINBURGH,\n\nNovember 18th, 1858.\n\nDr. John Ivor Murray having stated to me that he is a Candidate for the office of Colonial Surgeon at Hong Kong, I have great pleasure in bearing testimony in his favor.\n\nDr. Murray was known to me fifteen or sixteen years ago, as one of the ablest, steadiest, and most persistently industrious of the medical students of that time. We were very intimately acquainted as fellow-students of the same standing, and I have since become informed of almost everything important in his subsequent career.\n\nThat career has been singularly honorable. Dr. Murray went to the East almost without an introduction and without a friend, except those he left at home. Thrown almost by accident among the Malays of Java, he managed to make himself useful, and by a series of occasions carefully improved, he made his way to China, and settled at Shanghai, where he had for several years about the largest practice in the settlement. He built a hospital there, and coming home at the time of the Crimean war, made application for employment in the army, and was before Sebastopol during the winter of 1855; since the close of the war he has returned to his friends in Edinburgh, and they have had no difficulty in recognising the same warm heart and capacity for practical usefulness with which he left them.\n\nDr. Murray is in every respect well fitted for the office of Colonial Surgeon; he is thoroughly well educated, able to get through a great deal of work in a business-like manner, kind to subordinates, affable to his equals, and besides these mental qualifications, has the great blessing of an excellent constitution, well tried in a climate similar to that of Hong Kong.\n\nW.

Dr. J. Ivor Murray has given specimens of Chinese carved pottery, of porcelain, and of Japanese ware. The Rev. James Millar and Mr. Oliphant have sent examples of African clay-ware; and an interesting suite of small but very faithfully executed facsimiles of red-clay bricks, tiles, drain pipes, and brown earthenware vessels, as manufactured and used in Scotland, has been most liberally made over to the Museum by Mr. David Methven, of Kirkcaldy. There have also been many donors of single articles of pottery, whose names will appear in the catalogue of the Museum.\n\nIn glass, Mr. J.

Mr Jozé D'Almada was here in this Court but a few minutes since, Mr Mitchell the Sheriff saw him.\n\nCourt. Dr Chaldecott might give some explanation.\n\nMr Anstey. I now give notice that if on Monday next, any of the witnesses subpœnaed are absent, I shall not be satisfied with written certificates, but shall insist on Dr Chaldecott being sworn, and personally examined as to their state of health.\n\n5343.\n\nTHE QUEEN v. TARRANT.\n\n(118)\n\nIN THE SUPREME COURT OF HONGKONG. Criminal Sessions, November 18th 1858. REGINA V. TARRANT.\n\nAt the opening of the Court this day, the Hon'ble T. Chisholm Anstey, Attorney General, Counsel for the defendant, addressed the Court, as follows,\n\nor March, as nearly as possible. 7th Why he did not, before the end of June, inform the Legislative Council that the documents had been destroyed, and that the production of them, therefore, which had been demanded, again and again, could not take place. 8th If destroyed, what were the contents of those documents, and how far they affected Mr Caldwell or any other officer of Government. Lastly a full, true and complete account of the proceedings.\n\nMr Green. Sir John Bowring is as much bound not to reveal what took place in the Council as the Colonial Secretary or any other public servant.\n\nwith others, to the said Government against Daniel Richard Caldwell, Esquire, Registrar General of the Colony and submitted to the investigation of a Commission appointed for that purpose by Sir John Bowring, the Governor of the said Colony, and which said charge might have been satisfactorily proved before the said Commission, but for the interference of the said Government to prevent the Crown.\n\n(This report is from the shorthand notes taken for the Crown by Mr Weatherhead, Acting Deputy Registrar.)\n\nMy LORD, Some material witnesses are absent; nevertheless, I am quite ready to go on with the case. It is likely to last two days. Mr Davies writes me that being at Macao he cannot appear before Monday, and though the prosecutors have not condescended to notify us of the matter, I have heard, vaguely, that Dr Chaldecott is prepared to swear that Sir John Bowring is unable to appear in this Court, though quite able to drive out in his carriage and go to other places.\n\nCourt. If you are not in a position to go through with it, the case had better be postponed altogether.\n\nMr Anstey. A murrain appears to have visited all the officers of the Government. Another states that he is laid up with a badly inflamed leg. However, I suppose we must bow to the will of Providence, and submit to a postponement.\n\n'pose that it was not performed after deep meditation, and \"with reference to consequences.”\n\nTRIAL.\n\nMonday, 22nd November, 1858.\n\nFor the Crown. The Hon'ble F. W. Green, Esquire, Acting Attorney General, Mr George Cooper Turner, Crown Solicitor.\n\nFor the Defendant. The Hon'ble Thomas Chisholm Anstey, Esquire, Attorney General, Mr Henry Jefferd Tarrant, Attorney.\n\nSPECIAL JURY.\n\nPatrick Campbell Esq., Manager of the Oriental Bank Corporation, (British). John Costerton Esq., Manager of the Incorporated Mercantile Bank of India, London and China, (British). N. M. Beckwith, Esq., of the firm of Russell & Co., (American). Francis Chomley, Esq., of the firm of Dent & Co., (British). Francis Parker, Esq., of the firm of Augustine Heard & Co., (American). Phillip Cohen, Esq., of the firm of Phillips Moore & Co., (British). Albert Vaucher, Esq., of the firm of Vaucher & Co., (Swiss).\n\nThe Jury being sworn, the Acting Registrar read the INFORMATION.\n\nIN THE SUPREME COURT OF HONGKONG.\n\nThe Eighteenth day of November, One thousand eight hundred and fifty-eight.\n\nHONGKONG TO WIT.\n\nMr Anstey. Sir John Bowring is at perfect liberty to reveal any of the proceedings of Government to all the world, and exercises the power whenever he thinks fit.\n\nCourt. There is no doubt that Sir John Bowring stands in a very different position in that respect from the other officers of Government. The trial must stand over for the present until the parties now unable to appear recover their health. I cannot appoint a day until they are well.\n\nMr Anstey. As we cannot have de bene esse examination in criminal cases, it would be an advantage to take the evidence of such of the witnesses as are now present.\n\nMr Green. Might it not be possible by making certain admissions to dispense with the evidence of Sir John Bowring?\n\nCourt to Mr Anstey. Your's is an application for postponement on account of the absence of material witnesses.\n\nMr Anstey. I propose that we go on with the case as far as we can.\n\n(Signed) FREDK. WM. GREEN.\n\nWilliam Tarrant, take notice that you will be tried on this information at the Criminal Sessions at the Supreme Court to be holden at Victoria in and for the Colony of Hongkong, on the eighteenth day of November in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and fifty-eight, and following days.\n\nA. WEATHERHEAD,\n\nfor the Registrar.\n\nIN THE SUPREME COURT OF HONGKONG.\n\nCriminal Sessions, October, 1858.\n\nThe Queen against William Tarrant.\n\nThe Queen comes into the Court here and charges William Tarrant of the Colony of Hongkong aforesaid, Editor and Proprietor of the Newspaper called the Friend of China, with having, with intent to move the Queen's subjects to hatred and contempt of the Queen's Government in the said Colony, and to cause it to be believed that a certain grave and scandalous charge having been preferred.\n\nMr Anstey being suspended from office was at liberty to act for the defendant.\n\nSECOND PLEA. And for a further plea to the said Information, the said defendant, protesting that he is not guilty as aforesaid, nevertheless, according to the form of the statute in such case provided, says that the said alleged libel in the said Information mentioned was printed and published by him the said defendant, after the passing of the Act of Parliament of the seventh year of the Queen, chapter twenty-six, to wit on the day and year in the said Information mentioned and not otherwise.\n\nDr Chaldecott.—It is impossible for me to fix a date.\n\nMr Anstey.—A week say?\n\nDr Chaldecott.—I should say not, decidedly.\n\nMr Anstey.—Well then, a fortnight perhaps.\n\nDr Chaldecott. It is impossible to say. All I can say is that he is not at present in a fit state to appear in Court.\n\nCourt to Mr Anstey.—What do you wish Sir John Bowring to prove?\n\nMr Anstey. I will state the points required, 1st, I wish to have the documents produced specified in the Subpœna Duces Tecum. 2d All that he knows respecting the receipt of, and the parting with Mr May's memoranda, and the papers respecting Mr Caldwell and Ma-chow Wong on which those memoranda were framed. 3d What took place in the Executive Council respecting these memo. Mr D'Almada having declined to reveal any of the proceedings on the plea of official secrecy. 4th Whether Sir John Bowring knew what became of the memoranda, and the like as to the Ma-chow Wong papers themselves. 5th Whether he gave any and what directions or suggestions respecting the safe keeping or destruction of those documents or any of them. 6th When were those papers destroyed to the best of his belief, whether in May.\n\nMr Anstey. I only want Sir John to give permission to his officers to make the admissions and afford the information required.\n\nCourt. Very well, let it be so.\n\n[Mr Anstey here applies to have the Jury drawn now by the Registrar, so that only those need attend on Monday who would be actually required.]\n\nCourt. They must all appear again on Monday.\n\nMr Anstey. The whole of them?\n\nCourt. Yes.\n\nMr Anstey. I have just been informed by Mr Gibb, whose word no man doubts, that one of the absent witnesses, Mr J. D'Almada, was in Court just now, and present at the very time of my commenting on the circumstance of so many of the Government officers being prevented by illness from attending. I submit that this is a gross contempt of Court, and deserves some notice from your Lordship.",

I trust these circumstances may be held to indicate that here are to be found that security for life and property, and that equal justice between individuals, which constitute the first needs of Society, and the primary ends of Government.\n\nYou have been pleased to allude in terms of approval to my public conduct. It has indeed been my earnest and constant desire to promote, what I conceived to be, the real interests of the Colony, and it is very gratifying to me to find that the result is the approbation of those for whose good opinion I entertain a sincere respect and esteem.\n\nI beg to assure you, on behalf of Lady Robinson and myself, that we shall carry with us, on our departure from the Island, a very grateful recollection of the consideration which we have received from this Community, and, although absent, we shall ever feel the deepest interest in its welfare and prosperity.\n\nTrusting that, on our return here next year, we may find you individually in the enjoyment of every blessing, we now for a short time bid you farewell.\n\nI remain,  \nMy Lord Bishop and Gentlemen,  \nFaithfully yours,  \nHERCULES G.

POLLARD, Esq.\n\nTHE Scheme of a Local Bank for this Colony, with Branches at the most important places in China, has been in contemplation for a very long period.\n\nThe local and foreign trade in Hongkong and at the open ports in China and Japan has increased so rapidly within the last few years that additional Banking facilities are felt to be required,\n\nThe Banks now in China being only branches of Corporations, whose head quarters are in England or India, and which were formed chiefly with the view of carrying on exchange operations between those countries and China, are scarcely in a position to deal satisfactorily with the local trade which has become so much more extensive and varied than in former years.\n\nThis deficiency the Hongkong and Shanghae Banking Company will supply, and will in fact assume the same position with relation to this Colony as the Presidency Banks in India, or the Banks of Australia in their respective localities.\n\nThe Establishment of a Mint in Hongkong, providing an adequate supply of proper currency, will render a local Banking medium essential to carry out its operations, and the almost certain disappearance of the existing Compradorie system (so far as money is concerned) will also ensure Banks becoming in course of time the exclusive medium for the transactions of the monetary operations connected with trade.\n\nFor the anticipated success of this enterprise there are therefore ample grounds; and the great prosperity which has attended the working of other local associations in China clearly shows that the largest profits are obtained by those Public Companies which possess an interested local body of Proprietors or Shareholders, whose support naturally forms a chief element of remunerative success.\n\nThe Bank will commence operations simultaneously in Hongkong and Shanghae, and as the importance of its business at the latter place must be very great, it is intended to establish a local Board of Directors there for more effectually meeting the work. As circumstances render it advisable the Bank will establish Branches at other places.\n\nIn the distribution of Shares Hongkong and Shanghae will equally participate. Shares will also be reserved for the other ports in China and Japan and for persons residing elsewhere, who are directly interested in the China Trade.\n\nApplications for Shares must be addressed, until further notice, to the Provisional Committee, care of\n\nMESSRS DENT & Co.\n\nHongkong, July 29, 1864.\n\n241",

        "content_text": "# Jn 275\n\nTo His EXCELLENCY SIR HERCULES G. R. ROBINSON, Knight, Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Colony of Hongkong and its Dependencies and Vice-Admiral of the same.\n\nThis Memorial of Residents in the Colony of Hongkong humbly Sheweth: That the Memorialists whose names are hereto subscribed respectfully lay before Your Excellency their anxious desire that the Law of Limited Liability of Shareholders in Joint Stock Companies as prevailing in England may be carried into effect in this Colony.\n\n2\\. Your Memorialists are aware that an Ordinance embodying this principle and described as the \"Companies' Ordinance of 1864\" was lately rejected on its second reading in the Legislative Council by a majority of one vote, but your Memorialists are led to believe that this circumstance simply arose from a misapprehension of the views held on this important question by the great majority of this Community.\n\n3\\. Your Memorialists are deeply interested in the prosperity of the Colony and are convinced that its welfare can be largely promoted by Joint Stock Associations formed for the purpose of carrying out such enterprises as cannot be undertaken by single individuals or by Mercantile firms. And your Memorialists clearly perceive that such combinations of private Capital can only be attained through the influence of a measure which will limit responsibility of Shareholders to a fixed extent.\n\n4\\. It is most respectfully submitted by your Memorialists that there always is in this place and in the neighbouring Ports of China a certain accumulation of private means not actively used in Commerce, and which could in many ways be advantageously employed were the desired Law in force. There is also a large stream of wealth constantly leaving China, some of which would assuredly remain here for permanent investment, by means of the facilities created under the operation of the said Law. An amount of outside Capital would thus be attracted to the Colony which would greatly stimulate its industrial character. It is moreover highly probable that nearly all the public Companies at the open Ports of China, would in course of time, avail of the privilege of registration in this Colony which would thus become the Official Head Quarters of many important enterprises, and attain a more eminent position in connection with the trade of China than belongs to it now.\n\n6\\. Lastly your Memorialists confidently believe that there is nothing exceptional in the character of Hongkong as a place of business, so as to render it unfit to possess the desired facility for local enterprise, and your Memorialists earnestly pray Your Excellency to consider with favour this petition, and again lay before the Legislative Council the \"Ordinance of 1864,\" together with this prayer of the Inhabitants that the said Ordinance may become the Law of this Colony. \"Companies' And Petitioners humbly pray, &c.,\n\nyour\n\nGeorge J.

        "content_text": "; \n\n1\n\n61\n\nYour Memorialists, in addition to objecting to the imposition of a Stamp tax as being in principle wrong, even for providing for a temporary deficit, do most solemnly and earnestly protest against the even more injurious policy, declared in Your Excellency's letter, of seizing the opportunity, of there being an alleged need of money, for a purely temporary and transitory purpose, to impose upon the Colony, and its trade, a yearly additional tax of $120,000, being equal to one seventh of the present annual Revenue.\n\nThe only argument Your Memorialists have heard in favour of taxation in this manner, is, that it is not politically expedient to derive all Revenue from one or more specific sources, but if this be true as an abstract proposition of political economy, surely the fact that, since the existence of the Colony, the Legislature have followed this course without even demur on the part of those taxed, is sufficient to shew, that Hongkong, in its circumstances, is in an exceptional position, and must be dealt with as the position requires, and not in the manner required by any abstract dogma or theory.\n\nThere are many other objections to the imposition of any Stamp tax, partly to the principle, and partly to the operation, of such a measure, on which Your Memorialists will not dilate, but they may point out, as instances, the severity and stringency of the provisions punishing breaches of the Ordinance, the difficulty and cost of collection, and almost certain evasion of it by such of the Chinese as retain here, its vexatious intricacy, and its inequality, in leaving untaxed a large body of Residents who, if not individually wealthy, are wealthy as classes or interests, and who ought to contribute to these local requirements.\n\nYour Memorialists in conclusion beg to express their conviction that though this is a Crown Colony, and they can be taxed by an Order in Council, or an express Order from the Government to the Governor here to levy a tax, or raise a subsidy, yet when, in compliance with the Standing Orders of the Legislative Council, and the whole previous course of practice here, the Council, as such, are asked to pass, or reject, a measure involving the mere mode of raising the requisite sums, Your Memorialists are then entitled to have their ideas on that subject received through the recognized medium, the Non-Official Members of the Council, and as their remonstrances were of no avail, they conceive themselves further entitled to bring before the Government the strong opinions they entertain on the matter, and firmly, though respectfully, to urge Your Excellency to a reconsideration of what is, at best, a mere question of expediency, affecting their interests only, and upon which they ought to be considered, if not the best judges, at least as the best exponents of the balance of benefit or prejudice that may result from the measure.\n\nYour Memorialists therefore humbly beg Your Excellency to reconsider the question, to defer such portion of the Expenditure as is not of immediate or vital import to the Colony to a more auspicious period; to raise any Sums that may be presently needed by some other, and less hurtful method, and to postpone indefinitely the further consideration of any Stamp Tax or at least until all other available and usual sources of taxation have been exhausted.\n\nAnd Your Memorialists will ever pray:\n\nB.

Hyphenation or line-break artifacts will be corrected.\n5. **Rejoin broken sentences** — Sentences split across lines or columns without logical reason will be merged.\n6. **Restore paragraph breaks** — The text will be formatted into proper paragraphs where the OCR has incorrectly merged or split them.\n7. **Indicate missing words** — If a word is clearly missing due to OCR damage, `...` will be inserted in its place.\n8. **Do not rephrase or rewrite** — Only unambiguous errors (spelling, spacing, obvious joins) will be corrected without changing style, tone, or word choice.\n9. **Format in Markdown** — The text will be formatted using standard Markdown syntax.\n10. **No translation of text** — The text will not be translated.\n11. **Format of File Reference** — File references will have no spaces inside parentheses.\n12. **Page numbering** — \"Page XX\" lines will be kept as is if they appear exactly six times (three at the top and three at the bottom).\n13. **No explanation** — No explanatory text will be added to the output.\n14. **Newspaper reordering** — Texts from newspapers will be reordered if necessary.\n15. **Data in tables** — Data clearly in table format will be organized properly.\n16. **Chinese writing direction** — Horizontally written Chinese text starting from right to left will be reversed to left to right if observed.\n17. **No comments** — No comments will be left in the text.\n\n## Step 3: Re-examine the original text and apply the rules\nUpon closer inspection, the original text appears to be a historical document with OCR errors. The text will be reformatted and corrected according to the rules.\n\n### Haughing\n#### 1:129\n#### 26 September, 1860\n\nSir Richard Graves MacDonnell  \nto  \nRight Honorable  \nEarl of  \nCarnarvon  \n\n## Conflicting Jurisdictions\nHongkong-Walien near  \nFor Carnarvon  \nwith the Chinese on the term of her  \nA island  \nWest 1. define beulegung 2m..  \n2.

        "content_text": "Circular No. 13.\n\nSIR,\n\nPEKING, November 26th, 1866.\n\nWith reference to my Circular No. 9 of the 16th of June doubts have arisen first as to the protection to be afforded to persons of Chinese race naturalized in British Colonies when they return to Chinese territory, and secondly to those who have become British subjects by the transfer of the Island of Hongkong and its adjacent dependency of Kowloon, or British born subjects natives of the Straits Settlements.\n\nIn regard to the first of these classes the Earl of Clarendon in a despatch of the 11th of December 1865, on the subject of extradition, observed that \"children born in Hongkong of Chinese parents subjects of the Emperor though regarded generally as British subjects by reason of their place of birth, could not be held to be British subjects against the Chinese Government so as to secure them in China the privileges of British subjects.\"\n\nOn the question of protection therefore as regards all (naturalized) British subjects, whether born in Hongkong or the Straits Settlements, of Chinese parents subjects of the Emperor of China, the decision of Her Majesty's Government leaves no room for doubt.\n\nBut any persons, whatever their origin, whose permanent domicile at the time of the conclusion of the Treaties whereby Hongkong and subsequently Kowloon were ceded to the Queen, was fixed in either locality, became in fact British subjects by the transfer of territory to the Crown, as likewise any children born to them before or after the cession of the Island of Kowloon and are entitled to our protection in China as elsewhere. No question can arise with respect to naturalized British subjects as the 10th and 11th Vict. Cap. 83 enacts that the 8th and 9th Vict. Cap. 66 does not and shall not extend to the Colonies, and the same act confines the power of Colonial Legislatures to grant of naturalization to enure only within their respective jurisdictions, and therefore the privileges conferred by Colonial naturalization do not extend beyond the limits of the Colony. Hence a Chinese naturalized in Hongkong or the Straits is a subject of China the moment he steps across the boundary line.\n\nBut a difficulty exists in reference to those who, Chinese by race, have become bonâ fide British subjects by cession of territory or birthright. Chinese in every other sense, in race, language and dress, it is impossible to deny that this outward identity when they enter the Chinese dominions is a fruitful source of misapprehension and deception. When they return to China which they always regard as their country, they are accustomed to settle or to carry on business in the interior where they are under no supervision of a British authority, and, theoretically exempt from any Chinese jurisdiction owing to the extraterritoriality conceded by Treaty to British subjects. Their position is perfectly anomalous. They live with their families who have never left the country, enjoy all the rights and privileges of Chinese subjects, buy land and houses, take part in the local administrations of their district, and sometimes conspire with secret societies against the Chinese Government to its manifest peril, and the disturbance of peace and good order in the realm. They are quite undistinguishable by the Native authorities from all other Chinese the subjects of the Emperor, and only discover themselves when, charged with some offence, they are arrested and held amenable to Chinese laws; and then only they claim exemption as British subjects.\n\nSuch a position as this cannot be recognized on any principle of justice or sound policy. Treaties have carefully defined the respective rights of British and Chinese subjects, and it has been justly urged that neither side can claim to exercise the rights reserved to both. Consequently a Chinese claiming to be a British subject in Chinese territory must be bound by the British side of the Treaty, and can no more go into the interior without a passport, or reside and hold land therein than a British subject, for if so, he has a beneficial interest not enjoyed by British subjects, and larger and superior advantages than was contemplated for the latter under the Treaty. Neither party in a word can claim to exercise the rights and enjoy the privileges of both.\n\nThe only equitable mode of meeting this exceptional state of things would seem to be in the case of persons of Chinese race who are bonâ fide British subjects, to give them efficient and full protection at the open Ports, when they can establish their rights to register as British subjects to the Consul's satisfaction, and to place some limitation on its extension beyond these limits, because no passport for residence in the interior can be consistently granted. A passport for travelling in the interior to this class is constantly liable to abuse by a more or less permanent domicile in the interior.\n\nTo meet this state of things and as far as possible provide a remedy, I have issued a public notification, printed copy of which will be forwarded to you in English and Chinese to which you will give all publicity. It is designed to warn all of Chinese descent who are bonâ fide British subjects, that they have by treaty no right of residence in the interior of China, and if found so domiciled contrary to its provisions, they are liable to be brought to the nearest port by the Chinese authorities as British subjects to be dealt with in accordance with the rules and regulations in such cases made and provided.\n\nWith a view to check the abuse it would further seem desirable to limit the operation of the passport, in the case of British subjects so situated, to the time absolutely required by the party for the purposes of his business in the interior.\n\nYour obedient servant,\n\nRUTHERFORD ALCOCK,\n\nH. M's Consul\n\nPage 33\n\n \nTrue Copy\n\n(True Copy)\n\nI am &c:\n\n(Wm Signed) D. B. Robertson\n\nColonial Secretary",

A settlement not much better than an uninhabited rock witnessed your advent to these shores; a populous and handsome city looks grave at your departure. We are very well aware, Sir, in what large measure this result has been obtained by your zeal and intelligence; and we say this with a hearty desire to at the same time fully recognize the very able services of those gentlemen whose duties you have sometimes aided and sometimes administered. We thank you for what you have done; we are glad that we can remember you as one that has held the chief reins of power; and whilst we acknowledge the sound decision which at present guides this Government, we confess it was with disappointment we learned that your tenure of the office of her Majesty's representative would not be otherwise than brief.\n\nDuring your stay amongst us you have borne the burden and heat of the day, and we are to-day proud to be allowed to thus publicly testify to the unswerving consistency and the steadfast perseverance which have throughout characterized your career.\n\nWe trust, when your health may be sufficiently restored, that your long and faithful services in this Colony will procure for you another field wherein to display your talents and your administrative capacity, and we beg to be allowed to subscribe ourselves,--Your friends and well-wishers,\n\n| Name | \n| --- | \n| James Whittall | \n| John Dent | \n| J.

        "content_text": "# To H. E. Sir RICHARD GRAVES MACDONNELL, \n\n**C.B., Governor of Hongkong and its Dependencies**\n\nMay it please your Excellency,\n\nthe undersigned Barristers, Bankers, Physicians, Solicitors, Merchants, Shipowners, Traders, Shipwrights, Innkeepers, and others interested in the prosperity of Hongkong, beg to bring to your Excellency's notice certain proceedings on the part of the Chinese Authorities, which amount, we believe, to a direct and high-handed attack upon the commerce of the island, and which, if suffered to continue, will most prejudicially affect the well-being of the Colony.\n\nChinese Custom-house stations have been, or are in course of being, erected at the Cap-ring-moon, the Ly-e-moon, and Kowloon, for the purpose of levying exactions, under the denomination of “duties,” upon that portion of the trade of this colony which is carried on in Chinese bottoms. Such stations, if intended for the object alone of collecting duties upon merchandise passing into the interior at the points which this required, could not reasonably be objected to; but the establishments in question are supported by a force of steam gunboats and armed Government junks, by means of which they impudently threaten to levy tolls, on and after the 20th instant, from every native craft passing through the colonial waters, no matter whence it comes or whither its destination. The effect is as though we were at war with China, and the port blockaded. But the Chinese Authorities have gone further. Officers connected with the stations of which we complain are in the colony, and, it is understood, will be prepared to lend to the natives “Comprador Chope” upon payment within the island of the extortions which they falsely term \"duties!\" The natural results are not wanting; already excessive uncertainty and alarm prevail among our Chinese population, and the trade of the colony has been brought to almost a dead-lock.\n\nComment or remark from us upon the attitude which the Chinese Authorities have thus assumed towards Hongkong and your Excellency's Government appears to be supererogatory. Your Excellency does not need to have set forth to you the grave importance of the social, financial, commercial, and international consequences involved in such extraordinary action as that which we have just described. Your Excellency will feel as deeply as we do the insult offered to the Queen's dignity, and the blow aimed at the independence of the Colony under your charge. But our interests of every kind are so intimately bound up with the overthrow of the evil which we are now denouncing, that we cannot refrain from most urgently praying your Excellency to put in force without delay whatever measures may seem best calculated to achieve that object.\n\nWe have the honour to remain,\n\nYour Excellency's most obedient humble servants,\n\n| Name | Firm/Position |\n| --- | --- |\n| Jowling, Matheson & Co. |  |\n| Gibbs, Livingston & Co. |  |\n| The Romick Co., Limited |  |\n| Augustine Heard & Co. |  |\n| David Sassoon, Son & Co. |  |\n| E.

        "content_text": "IV. CEYLON.\n\nCORRESPONDENCE WITH THE COLONIAL DEPARTMENT\n\nIn order to carry these arrangements into effect, your Lordship proposes that Dr. Bailey should be allowed to retire on a higher rate of pension than he is entitled to, and that to accomplish this, a reduction should be made in the stipend of one of the colonial chaplains.\n\nI regret that I cannot sanction your Lordship's proposals, for the following reasons ---\n\n1st. It is necessary to adhere strictly to the regulations laid down for the granting of pensions for service; and to vary the amount of pension beyond what the regulations sanction, would lead to irregularity, and perhaps to injustice.\n\n2d. To augment the regulated pension, by a deduction from the salaries of other public servants, is open to great objection, for if the salaries are not excessive, they ought not to be reduced for such a purpose; if, on the other hand they are excessive, they ought to be reduced on general grounds, and the saving carried to the account of the colony.\n\nYour Lordship will therefore perceive, that my objections are confined to the principle involved in the grant of a pension by no settled rule, and consequently subject to variation in every case of a similar nature which may occur, and probably, therefore, the cause of much just discontent on future occasions.\n\nI should not in any other point of view have deemed it necessary to depart from the arrangements, assuming that they met with the concurrence of the Bishop of Colombo, although you have omitted to state that you have consulted his Lordship on the subject.\n\nI have, &c. (signed) Grey.\n\n(No. 26.)\n\n- No. 3.\n\nON COLONIAL CHURCH LEGISLATION, &c.\n\nthe proposed absence of the Bishop in the present instance should form an exception to the general rule (for I can hardly deem it possible that he can return within the space of six weeks), I should wish to be guided by your Lordship's instructions respecting the payment of his salary.\n\n6. If the proposed visit to the Mauritius should be attended with the valuable results to the inhabitants which are anticipated, I would submit to your Lordship whether it would not be advisable hereafter, that the diocese of Colombo, should be extended so as to include that colony; in which case I would suggest, either that the Government of Mauritius should be chargeable with the payment of one-third of the annual amount of the Bishop's salary, or else, that a sufficient sum should be allowed by that colony for each biennial or triennial visitation, according to the precedent of Ceylon when it was under the bishopric of Madras, in which case it might not be deemed unjust, in the present state of the public finances, that a portion of the ample salary of the Lord Bishop (£2,500) payable by this colony, should be reduced.\n\nI have, &c. (signed)\n\nMy Lord,\n\nEnclosure 1, in No. 3.\n\nNuwera Ellia, Ceylon, 29 January 1849.\n\nAt the request of the Bishop of London, and of Sir Wm. Gomm, Governor of the Mauritius, I purpose, with your Lordship's permission, visiting that colony for the consecration of their churches, the confirmation of the young, and the discharge of any other episcopal functions that may be required. The regular communication between the colonies renders it now of easy arrangement, without a longer absence from my own diocese than the time consumed in the passage, and the interval between two monthly mails may require.\n\nYour Lordship will, I am sure, at once consent to so easy an arrangement for the benefit of a colony which has never yet been visited by a Bishop of the Church of England since it became a dependency of the British Crown.\n\nI have, &c. (signed)\n\nThe Right Honourable Earl Grey, &c. &c. &c.\n\nJ. Colombo.\n\nTorrington.\n\nT\n\nEncl. 1, in No. 3.\n\nNo. 3- Governor Viscount Torrington to Earl Grey.\n\n13 February 1849,\n\nCopy of a DESPATCH from Governor the Viscount Torrington to Earl Grey,\n\nQueen's House, Colombo, 13 February 1849. (Received, 28 March 1849.)\n\nMy Lord,\n\n(Answered, 9 April 1849, No. 378, page 8.)\n\nAt the request of the Right Reverend the Lord Bishop of Colombo, I have the honour to forward to your Lordship the enclosed application for permission to be absent from the diocese, for a sufficient period to enable him to visit the Mauritius, for the purpose of performing certain episcopal functions, which have never yet been discharged in that colony since it has been a dependency of the British Crown.\n\n2. I cannot doubt that it would be very advantageous both to the clergy and the English inhabitants of that colony professing the Protestant faith, to be able to profit by an opportunity of having their churches consecrated, and the right of confirmation extended to their children. In many respects it must be evident, that the personal influence of a Bishop, even though not privileged to exercise episcopal rights (such as would be the case within his own diocese), must be brought to bear with advantage, even during a temporary visit, in upholding the authority, and maintaining the public respect for the church to which he belongs.\n\n3. In making this application, his Lordship has distinctly intimated to me, that he does not desire to impose any additional burden whatever upon this colony for the charges of his journey, neither does he wish that the expense should be borne by the Mauritius. I forward to your Lordship a second letter from the Bishop, fully explanatory of all the circumstances of the case.\n\n4. I should be unwilling to interpose any obstacle in the way of his Lordship's proposal; and I would suggest that leave of absence should be granted to him for the purpose stated, not exceeding three months; but at the same time, it becomes my duty to submit the following points for your Lordship's consideration.\n\n5. Under recent regulations, a public officer may be absent from the colony with the sanction of the Governor, for the space of six weeks, without forfeiting any portion of his salary. If his leave of absence extend beyond that period, he ceases to be entitled to draw more than half his salary. If it be intended that\n\nEnclosure 2, in No. 3.\n\nMy Lord,\n\nNuwera Ellia, Ceylon, 8 February 1849.\n\nOPINIONS have been expressed in this colony in reference to my application to your Lordship for permission to visit episcopally the Mauritius, which render an explanation, I regret to find, necessary from myself.\n\n1. A question has been raised as to my authority to exercise episcopal rights out of my own diocese. I have, my Lord, no rights, and therefore can exercise none.\n\nHer Majesty alone can impart such rights by Letters Patent, and your Lordship will, I trust, acquit me any wish to arrogate or assume them where they do not exist. But to discharge episcopal functions, and do episcopal acts, is assuredly a very different thing. This I submit, with deference to your Lordship, it is competent to any Bishop to do wherever he may be, if invited, and duly empowered by the authorities, ecclesiastical or civil, there resident. It has been done by the Bishops of Calcutta and Madras, of Sydney and Tasmania, on the voyage to their respective dioceses; repeatedly, I believe, at the Cape, before its erection into an independent episcopate. It has been done lately towards those of our own Church, even by an American Bishop, in China, and such ministrations are surely a benefit to a colony where they cannot otherwise be obtained, and are felt to be so, my Lord, by those who welcome and appreciate them.\n\nOn the request, therefore, of the Bishop of London, of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, and of his Excellency Sir William Gomm, that I would visit the Mauritius for the consecration both of the churches and places of sepulture in that colony, and for the confirmation of the members of our communion under his paternal government, I did not hesitate to express my willingness, I should have felt ashamed to do so, facilities having been lately, for the first time afforded, by the opportunity of a regular monthly communication between the two colonies. I did not think, nor do I, that the brief absence of two months would, for once, be any very great inconvenience to my own diocese.\n\n2. It has been assumed that this is to become an annual visit, such a thought, my Lord, was never in my mind. The principal acts enumerated above, for which I am requested to repair thither, once done are done for ever. All other points have reference rather to church government, and require a resident Bishop invested with the necessary authority, the rite of confirmation alone excepted, which in so small a colony would not be more frequently required",

Vist, 1801; Rex e. exon 1761; Ber Perles, cup, Napoleon I) 1803, The Government England in 1858.\n\nFirst. --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 to disturb or endanger the Government. There are but few instances of this kind Press Prosecution in of process among which may be mentioned the information (by command of the Crown) for a libel against the French Ambassador (Rex v. D'Eon, in the 1764, and the other cases cited in the margin.)\n\n(See Liberty, e. 2.) The last-mentioned prosecutions were probably not initiated by information, for it appears from private enquiries made at the Crown Office in London that an ex officio information by the Attorney General was abandoned and\n\nnote to Mill's Essay In year\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 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\nfor defamatory libel has passing of Lord Camp-bell's Act (24th August, 1848) See also the been led given the 18th chapter of Cooke or Defamation, which is to this subject.\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 co 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, Reg. v. Marrow. Mr. McRROW (of the Daily Press), was obtained, though it was subsequently abandoned.\n\nN.B. The Defendant apologized.\n\nFeen dealt with under Ordinance No. 3 of 1565 (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 --It might have 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 any 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. 45.\n\nextended Colony by Ordinance No. 3 of\n\n\".

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.",

        "content_text": "239\n\n[ 2 ]\n\nr. Lord Geo Gordon, 1787; Box ». Vint, 1801; Rex e. 11803, The Government n, 176t; Box\n\nFirst. 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 Rex kind of information are properly such enormous misdemeanours as peculiarly tend Potier, (temp. Napoleon to disturb or endanger the Government. There are but few instances of this kind Preas Prosecution in of process among which may be mentioned the information (by command of the Crown) for a libel against the French Ambassador (Rex v. D'Eon, in the year were abandoned and 1764, and the other cases cited in the margin.)\n\nprose- by the\n\nSecondly-Informations in which though the Crown is the nominal cutor, yet it is at the relation of some private person and they are filed 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\nEnginud in 1858,\n\n(See nose to Mill's Essay on incntioned prosecutions were probably not inated by information, for is appears from private enquiries mado at the Crown Office in London that no ef officio information by the Attorney General for defamatory libel has been the sines the passing of Lord Camp-bell's Act (24th August, 1813.) See also the 1ath chapter of Cooke ou Defamation, which is to subject.\n\nIt is contended by some persons that this latter kind of remedy so common in petits devoted 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 Rey e Tarrant, the Friend of China, was obtained, and the information was in the form of infor ination by the Master of the Crown Office in England, and was filed and signed by the Registrar. The records of the Court shew also that in the same year a rule isi for a criminal information for libel against another Newspaper Editor, Reg. 2. Murrow. Mr. MURROW (of the Daily Press), was obtained, though it was subsequently abandoned.\n\nMB-1hc Defendant apologize.\n\nN.B.It might have\n\nThis being then the state of the Law in the Colony, as I view it, it was com-petent 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 meuaced) 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 ». D'Eon (1 Wm. Blackstone, 514) \"Informations ex officio are personally the King's prose-\"cutions. 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 Beguts, 2 Cox, ca. Campbell's Act, and that the Defendant cannot legally plead a justification and extend this 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\n66\n\nbern dealt with uyler Ordiusnce No. of 1869 (see Sections relating to private prosecu-tors)\n\np. 45.\n\nto Colony by Ordinance No. 3 of 18. So, which apples only to private prosecu tions.\n\nNo. 0 of 1865. is missing. Tannes 2 correspondence on the subject.\n\nThe ordinary form of information under the Ordinance may be seen by refer-ence to Section 5, and I transmit herewith a copy of the ex officio information 1 and that his red 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 ant et officio, infor-mution for 12 months.\n\nGovernor Da Ponte c 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 harrassing, a demurrer to the plea of justifica-tion 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 1 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\nMinute 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\nMinute 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 node 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.",

        "content_text": "# \n\n## \n\ne. 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.",

When I heard that the spar was in the bows, I thought of the safety of the Bombay, knowing there were passengers on board and the mails; and not seeing any signals that they were damaged as much as we were, I thought it best to go on to Yokohama. Had I known the Bombay was in compartments my opinion might have been different. I thought that as there was 8 feet of water in the ship at that time, if she was making water so fast the best thing would be to get to Yokohama as soon as possible; not knowing she was built in compartments. I did not hear any hail such as \"lay by us, you have cut us down.\" I did not hear any order of any kind on board the other vessel. I never heard a man speak. I heard a crash and a jar, felt a jar and heard a slight clashing as if something had broken. I noticed that the other vessel was smaller than ours, and I thought she was deeply laden. It did not occur to me at the time that the shock would have been more severe to the smaller than to the larger vessel. I could not tell what the light I saw from the stern of the vessel was. I could not see the light itself - only the reflection. The light appeared to come from about the quarter where the ship was struck. I could not say whether it came from the cabin or not. The vessel went past so quickly that it was impossible to discern the nature of the light. At the time I could not judge from whence the light came. It did not occur to me to think from where it came. I do not know if the Oneida had a pivot gun on her quarter. In coming up a narrow channel it is usual to keep on the starboard side of such channel. We were on the starboard side coming up; at least we kept over there as soon as we saw the light. We were about 4 miles from Webster's Island, two miles from Perry's Island, and about three from Kanonsaki, at the time of the collision. On a dark night such as this we might have gone safely half a mile nearer Saratoga spit; but I did not see the spit, only took the bearings of the light, and knew from that I was clear of the spit. I should have thought it my duty to keep off the spit. I did not consider it safe to go nearer to the spit than we did, as it was a dark night.\n\n## TO THE COURT\n\nI have never been a master, but have been a chief officer of a vessel 15 months. My age is 29. I have been at sea 8 years. The Oneida might or might not have heard our whistle four or five miles off. I judged at the time she must have been that distance off by her lights. I should say that on a dark night with starlight the masthead light of a steamer could be seen with a glass or 4 miles off. But I do not think I should see it with the naked eye. I could not say at what speed the Oneida was going. I should say that, considering the distance that we were apart, and the speed we were going, it must have taken two or two and a half minutes before we shut out her green light. To the best of my judgment there was a space of a mile or a mile and a half between the two ships, when I saw the Oneida head across our bows, and when the engines were stopped. The reflection I saw seemed to be reflected aft from forward, and was on the deck of the Oneida. It was a light as if from a dark lantern and of such a shape as would be made by a dark lantern on a wall; it was not like the light of a dead light or of a port hole. I did not stop to consider where the light came from. It might have been the light from the Captain's skylight or any other light. I did not stop to notice. I cannot tell what was behind the light, or what the light showed me. The light did not open up the interior of the ship to me. It did not appear to come from a hole that had been broken into the ship. I could not say whether the Bombay's compass is in good order or not. From the motion of the Bombay I thought she rose a little forward. I did not call the attention of any one to the light on board the Oneida, nor did any one call my attention to it.\n\n**RICHARD CONNORS**\n\nAdjourned till 9 A.M. to-morrow.\n\n## SATURDAY THE 29TH JANUARY 1870, 9 A.M.\n\nThe President opened the proceedings by the following remarks.\n\nThis is a Court of Inquiry held on the application of Mr. Dalziel, as being in the interest of the owners of steamship Bombay. It is not what is commonly called a Court of Law, nor is Mr. Eyre upon his trial. Let my reply to Mr. Eyre at the commencement of the proceedings be well understood; I did not mean to tell him that this was a preliminary examination upon a charge laid against him. No charge has been made. Should a charge be preferred against him before me, a proper examination will be held into such charge; and, if, in my opinion, there is sufficient evidence upon which to commit him to take his trial, he will be committed accordingly; otherwise the charge will be dismissed. There are two things which this Court has specially to enquire into and determine. First, Was the collision between the Bombay and the Oneida occasioned by any fault of Mr. Eyre or his officers? Secondly: After the collision had taken place did Mr. Eyre do his duty? And whatever the result of these proceedings may be, it will be reported to the Board of Trade.\n\nThe evidence therefore, which the Court requires is on these two points; and I will observe again, once for all, that legal technicalities will not be allowed to stand in the way of a thorough investigation of these two points.\n\nIn order that it may be understood to what extent these proceedings may be put in evidence in a Court of Law I will explain:----\n\nSupposing that a witness answers a question before a Court of Law, in a certain way which appears unsatisfactory to his interrogator, he may be asked \"Did you not, on such and such a day, during the holding of a Naval Court of Inquiry, say---so and so?” And then, if the witness should deny that he said it, a certified copy of these minutes may be tendered as evidence that he did. Mr. Eyre might also be asked \"Was the result of a Naval Court of Inquiry, so and so?\" And in this case also, a certified copy of the proceedings may be tendered in proof of such result. It is perhaps natural that personal feeling should run very high in this Community on the question of which this Court is partly taking cognizance; but I ask (and I trust that a request of this nature will have the greatest possible weight) that the gentlemen who are assisting the Court in the prosecution of this Inquiry will abstain from any remarks of a personal character, of whatsoever nature or kind; for they only tend to increase and add to personal feelings of opposition which are already too intense between the holders of different views on the momentous questions arising out of this terrible disaster.\n\n## THIRD DAY, SATURDAY, 29TH JANUARY, 1870\n\nThe report of the Special Committee appointed to inspect the steamer Bombay's bows was then read; upon which it was suggested that Mr. De Long and Mr. Barnard should write down the questions which they respectively wished to be answered, and submit them to the members of the Committee.\n\n### REPORT\n\nBy request of H. B. M.'s Consul, we, the Undersigned, this day proceeded on board the P. & O. Co.'s steamer Bombay, to survey the damage sustained in collision on the evening of the 24th inst., with a vessel supposed to be the U. S. corvette Oneida, and found the following, namely: that some large timbers had penetrated into the port bow of the Bombay, at the end of the iron plating close to the stem, about 3ft. 9in. from the water, making a hole 14 inches in diameter on the port side, and splintering the plating on the starboard side; part of the timbers remained in the hole nearly filling it up. We further found a plate cracked on the port side, about an inch and a-half below the water, and about 18 inches abaft the other one; the crack was about 10 inches in length, through which the water was flowing freely into the fore compartment. We found the false stem, cutwater, head, head knees and skirting boards crushed and carried away; we found on examination of the fore compartment and lower hold, the ends of the plating joining the stem much shaken, and the lower ends of knight-heads sprung, and one angle iron on the port side broken.\n\nThe bowsprit and bowsprit gear was uninjured. Yokohama, 28th Jan., 1870.\n\n(Signed)\n\n| Name | Title |\n| --- | --- |\n| Captain D. MIKHAYLOFF |  |\n| H. L. R. M. S. Fradnik |  |\n| FRANK ROUGEMONT | 1st Lieut. H. B. M. S. Ocean |\n| Wm. MCDONALD | Surveyor for Lloyds Agents and Local Offices |\n\n### QUESTIONS BY MR. BARNARD\n\n1. To which deck does the foremost compartment bulkhead lead?\n2. What is the height of that deck above the keel by the figures on bow and stern?\n3. Do any of the bulk-heads reach up to the upper deck?\n4. Is there a scuttle in the deck above the bow compartment?\n5. Is the top of the bow compartment plated with iron, or a wooden deck?\n6. What is the height of lower deck above water?\n7. Do any of the compartment bulk-heads reach the upper deck?\n\n### QUESTIONS BY MR. DE LONG\n\n1. Please examine to ascertain the length on each side of the Bombay on the outside that the ship shows an abrasion from the collision; to thus arrive, if possible, at the exact angle the Bombay presented to the Oneida when in contact.\n2. Examine any remaining iron or wood work on the stem, with a view of seeing to which side it may be bent or inclined.\n3. Examine the stem and sides of the \"Bombay\" to see which side the force of the blow appeared to come from; as for instance, where the \"Bombay\" is injured mainly. Is it the port or starboard side - which side mainly.\n4. What material and how much in thickness did the spar or piece of timber that ran through the bows, pass through? the exact size and character of that spar or stick that passed through the \"Bombay's\" bows?\n5. Is the forward compartment of the \"Bombay,\" of such a nature as to prevent any great danger of the vessel sinking from water coming into it, if none was coming into either of the other compartments?\n\n### ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS\n\nWe the undersigned, by request of H. B. M.'s Consul, have this day surveyed the P. & O. steamer \"Bombay,\" with the view of answering the following questions:\n\n| Question | Answer |\n| --- | --- |\n| 1. To which deck does the foremost compartment bulkhead lead? | Lower (or main) deck |\n| 2. What is the height of that deck above the keel by the figures on bow and stern? | 14 feet from kelson |\n| 3. Do any of the bulk-heads reach up to the upper deck? | No |\n| 4. Is there a scuttle in the deck above the bow compartment? | Yes |\n| 5. Is the top of the bow compartment plated with iron, or a wooden deck? | Wooden deck |\n| 6. What is the height of lower deck above water? | About three feet at time of the collision |\n| 7.

Please examine to ascertain the length on each side of the Bombay on the outside that the ship shows an abrasion from the collision; to thus arrive, if possible, at the exact angle the Bombay presented to the Oneida when in contact. | We are of the opinion that the \"Bombay\" struck the \"Oneida\" at an angle from 55° to 40° |\n| 2. Examine any remaining iron or wood work on the stem, with a view of seeing to which side it may be bent or inclined. | Inclined to starboard |\n| 3. Examine the stem and sides of the \"Bombay\" to see which side the force of the blow appeared to come from; as for instance, where the \"Bombay\" is injured mainly. Is it the port or starboard side - which side mainly. | Port side |\n| 4. What material and how much in thickness did the spar or piece of timber that ran through the bows, pass through? the exact size and character of that spar or stick that passed through the \"Bombay's\" bows? | Iron plate about 5-16 of an inch thick, timbers about 12 inches in diameter, consisting of pine and oak |\n| 5. Is the forward compartment of the \"Bombay,\" of such a nature as to prevent any great danger of the vessel sinking from water coming into it, if none was coming into either of the other compartments? | Yes, as long as the water could be confined to that compartment |\n\nYokohama, 1st February, 1870.\n\n(Signed)\n\n| Name | Title |\n| --- | --- |\n| FRANK ROUGEMONT | Senior Lt.

        "content_text": "534\n\nContinued: The cause of the duel was the blows Torre Bueno received at the defendant's house as I have described before. I went to Mr Checa's house, because I heard of the arrest of Mr Torre Bueno on board a French steamer, and the warrant was not countersigned by me as Consul. I found the defendant and Torre Bueno were in the house. The defendant was rather angry and said something which I did not quite understand, it not being in French. They called each other offensive names. Mr Checa ordered Mr Torre Bueno to leave the room, He refused, and Mr Checa struck him. He struck him more than once; I did not count how many times. In consequence of this I and Mr Carrique carried a challenge on behalf of Mr Torre Bueno to the defendant. They spoke about a duel rather excitedly. The challenge was carried to the defendant the same evening at 10 o'clock by myself and Mr Carrique. Mr Checa said he would not fight the duel until certain transactions between Mr Torre Bueno and defendant were settled. I asked the defendant for the name of his seconds, but he did not give any.\n\nI then made out a procés verbal that Mr Checa refused to accept the challenge.\n\nAt this stage of the case Mr Francis asked the Court to strike out all the evidence that had been taken in reference to what had taken place in Mr Checa's house, as the refusal to fight the duel ended the transaction. The charge to provoke Torre Bueno to send a challenge terminated.\n\nMr May differed, as he thought the cause for a challenge still existed—the striking of the blows.\n\nContinued: After making the procés verbal I went home.\n\nI did not carry a second challenge. On the 27th I received a letter from the defendant. I don't know where that letter is; I may have destroyed it; I cannot produce it.\n\nMr Toller asked what were the contents of the letter.\n\nMr Francis objected, as it was against all modern rule of obtaining evidence.\n\nMr May overruled the objection, the witness being unable to produce it.\n\nContinued: Mr Checa in that accepted the challenge, and his seconds called upon me on the evening of Saturday. I was not there. I saw them on Sunday at my house.\n\nMr Toller here said that he had no further questions to put to Mr La Forest, and suggested adjournment of the Court for one hour,\n\nThe case was then adjourned till 3 p.m.\n\nThe case was resumed at that hour.\n\nMr La Forest was again placed in the box and examined by Mr Francis: When I went to Mr Checa's house, the defendant and Mr Torre Bueno appeared to be very angry. They were talking angrily and I heard the word \"playing\" and \"game\". The impression on my mind on hearing this was that one gentleman was accusing another of unfair playing. The defendant struck Mr Torre Bueno after those words were passed. Mr Checa ordered Mr Torre Bueno out of the house, and he was leaving slowly, Mr Checa struck him at the parlour door. It was about half a minute or 20 seconds after these words that Checa struck Torre Bueno. Mr Checa was more angry after these words than he was before. In my opinion, the blows were partly the result of what Torre Bueno had said. Mr Checa did not strike him before those words.\n\nWm. Deane, Captain Superintendent of Police, was then sworn: I produce the document marked A.\n\nMr Francis took objection to the witness' evidence on the ground that the defendant did not know the existence of the document, and it was therefore not evidence against the defendant.\n\nMr Toller contended that concert had been proved. It had been proved that blows were struck, a challenge was sent and accepted and a duel fought. What more evidence was necessary to prove concert? The rule of evidence was that concert had to be proved only.\n\nMr May wished to know what that document would prove in reference to the subsequent acts of the defendant.\n\nMr Toller said the document would prove that seconds were named by that agreement. He, (the Crown Solicitor) was prepared to prove that the defendant had acted in accordance with the statements contained in the document. He would recall Mr La Forest, who would prove that the duel was fought according to the terms of that document.\n\nMr May overruled the objection, and admitted the document.\n\nBy Mr Francis: I obtained that document from M. De La Forest at his house, or rather he handed it to me at my office. He went for it, I went with him, He returned with me to my office and gave it to me there. I had shortly before arrested Mr La Forest at his own house under a Warrant. I had no special search warrant to search Mr La Forest's house, nevertheless I did threaten to search the house or office if he did not give up the paper. I had every reason to believe in the existence of that paper in Mr La Forest's house. He refused all information of the paper at first. Without making any search I brought him up to the Central Station. There again I demanded the paper and threatened to search his house on a warrant. I did not say that I would break open his consular safe to look for the paper. I said I would search all places, even the chest. I said it would be necessary to resist any application for bail if he did not give up the paper.\n\nMr Francis: Now Mr Deane, do you know that you could not get a search warrant in a case like this?\n\nMr Deane: \"I did not think I would require any.\" He would act on his own responsibility to search the house.\n\nMr Francis remarked that it was fortunate that he did not, as he would be liable to an action for trespass.\n\nContinued: Mr La Forest gave up the paper under the influence of what I said.\n\n1. d'Almada e Castro sworn: I am Chief Clerk at the Colonial Secretary's office. I made the translation produced. It is a correct translation of the document marked A.\n\n53\n\nBy Mr Francis: The word \"sponsors\" would be the more literal, but \"seconds\" would be the more acceptable term for the original Spanish word.\n\nMr Toller submitted that that was the case for the prosecution, and asked for the committal of the defendant for trial.\n\nMr Francis, on behalf of the defendant, urged that the present charge of conspiracy to murder, framed under the local ordinance, had not been proved, at most a conspiracy to fight a duel was proved. It was not a duel that would be murder, but the shot which should happen to kill the person that constituted it a murder. The local ordinance was copied from an English act, which was passed shortly after the attempt to assassinate the late Emperor Napoleon III., in which one Dr. Bernard was indicted for a conspiracy to murder the Emperor under an old act of Parliament passed in the time of George the 4th, and Dr. Bernard was acquitted by the jury. A great deal of discussion ensued, which led to a new act being passed, and it was copied into the local ordinance. As he said before, a duel was not necessarily a murder, as was the case in the present affair, which was simply an affray, a breach of the peace. The cause which gave rise to the duel was the demand for payment of debt.\n\n3",

MACKAY, Parochial Teacher, Latheron\n\nPARISH SCHOOL, LATHERON, 18th November 1868.\n\nI certify that the bearer, Mr WILLIAM TULLOCH GAIR, served as Pupil Teacher, an apprenticeship of five and a half years, ending 31st December last, in this School, competent to teach the ordinary branches taught in Parish Schools. He is also competent in Latin, Greek, Geometry, Algebra, and Trigonometry. His character as a Teacher is commanding, energetic, laborious, skilful, faithful, and confidence-inspiring. His moral and religious character is good and strictly orthodox. His personal appearance and deportment are of a manly type, and I believe every other qualification necessary to a teacher of the young exists in him to a very high degree.\n\nW. S. MACKAY\n\n## From Rev. HUGH MCALMAN, Minister of Latheron\n\nLATHERON MANSE, 14th March 1868.\n\nI have much pleasure in stating that MR WM. TULLOCH GAIR, the bearer hereof, has been favourably known to me for the last six years, or thereabouts--five and a half years of which he officiated as a Pupil Teacher in the Parochial School--and that over the whole of that period his conduct, in so far as known to me or the Kirk Session, has been altogether unexceptionable and exemplary. As the Parish Teacher here has already certified in regard to his ability and attainments, and Mr Gair himself will no doubt procure a certificate from the Committee of Privy Council of his having completed his apprenticeship, I consider it altogether unnecessary for me to say anything on the subject. I wish him every success in life, for I believe that he is deserving of it, and will always deserve it.\n\nGiven at the Manse of Latheron, Caithness-shire, by\nHUGH MCALMAN,\nMinister of Latheron.\n\n## From Mr JOHN HALLIDAY, Parochial Teacher, Salton\n\nMR WILLIAM TULLOCH GAIR having served an apprenticeship of five years and a half as a Pupil Teacher in the Parish School of Latheron, was appointed assistant in the Parish School here, on the 1st April last. Since that date, he has had the sole charge of the School, and has been engaged in teaching Reading, Writing, Arithmetic, English Grammar, Geography, Latin, Geometry, and Algebra, manifesting much aptitude for communicating instruction to his pupils, and maintaining discipline in the School; and it affords me much pleasure to state that, during the few months he has been here, he has discharged all the duties of the School with great ability and success, and to my entire satisfaction, and that of all concerned. Mr Gair is a person of superior talents and attainments. His personal character is all that could be wished; his manner, tone of mind, and conduct, are manly, frank, and straightforward; his temper is excellent; his integrity unquestionable; and his moral character without reproach. I do not know anything of Mr Gair, either personally or professionally, that is not entirely to his honour; I have therefore much pleasure and confidence in highly recommending him to the favourable notice of Patrons of Schools.\n\nGiven at Salton, 16th November 1868.\nJOHN HALLIDAY,\nParochial Teacher, Salton.\n\n## From Rev. JAMES M`WATT, M.A. & B.D., Minister of Salton\n\nThe bearer, MR WILLIAM TULLOCH GAIR, came to this parish in the month of April last, having been engaged by the Parochial Teacher as his assistant in discharging the responsible and highly important duties of the Parish School. I have the best means of learning that he has taught in that School all the branches of a superior Education, with great regularity, steadfastness, intelligence, and success. He is a young man, I conceive, of considerable promise; and, should a suitable opportunity offer, is likely to prove himself a superior Teacher. A wish prevails that arrangements had admitted of Mr Gair's longer continuance in the parish, as also a regret that he is so soon to leave it. I have much pleasure in also certifying that, during his residence in this place, his moral conduct has, in all respects, been satisfactory.\n\nJAMES M`WATT, M.A. & B.D.\n16th November 1868,\nMinister of Salton.",

THE GOVERNOR RESPECTING THE CONDUCT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE DURING THE LATE TYPHOON\n\nTHE following is the text of the memorial forwarded to H.E. the Governor by the Residents who condemn Capt. Deane's action during the late typhoon.\n\nHONGKONG, 5th October, 1874.\n\nTo His Excellency,\n**SIR ARTHUR EDWARD KENNEDY, K.C.M.G., C.B. Governor of Hongkong &c. &c. &c.**\n\nMAY IT PLEASE YOUR EXCELLENCY,\n\nWe, the undersigned inhabitants of Hongkong, humbly beg to lay before your Excellency the following statement.\n\nThat on the night of the 22nd and the morning of the 23rd ultimo, a Typhoon of unprecedented violence did much destruction to life and property in this City and Harbour.\n\nAmong the many casualties of that dreadful night, two of the most remarkable are the wrecks of the steamers Albay and Leonor.\n\nBy the mercy of Providence, and the humane exertions of some private citizens, the crew of the Albay were saved from death, but although the Leonor sank only about fifty yards from the shore, nearly 100 persons perished, and only about 12 were saved from the ship.\n\nBefore the Leonor was wrecked, it was reported at the Central Police Station to the Captain Superintendent of Police, that a number of men had been rescued from the Albay, and that another steamer was coming on shore, but although there were a large number of available men at the Station, the Captain Superintendent refused to allow any of them to go out to render assistance.\n\nAt the time when the Police were thus confined to the barracks, they were also much needed to repress robbers who were plundering shops and warehouses, which had been broken open in various parts of the town and particularly on the Praya.\n\nDuring the height of the storm, a house in the Chinese portion of the City caught fire.\n\nThe circumstance was reported to the Captain Superintendent of Police, who not only refused to send any assistance, but declined to allow the Fire Alarm Bell to be rung, and he also failed to inform the Superintendent and the Assistant Superintendents of the Fire Brigade, Messrs. C. May and J. Russell, that a fire had broken out, though it was his duty to do so at once.\n\nFortunately, Mr. C. V. Creagh, the other Assistant Superintendent, was present when the report was made, and, aid having been refused, he went alone to the Fire Engine Station and, with the help of a few volunteers, mostly private individuals, after much difficulty, the fire was subdued.\n\nThis colony pays a large sum annually for the maintenance of the Police Force and the Fire Brigade, for the protection of the lives and property of its Citizens, and it is grievously disappointing to find that, in an emergency, when lives were being lost by thousands in the Harbour and the whole City was threatened with a conflagration, the Chief of the Police not only was inactive himself, but withheld others from rendering that assistance which they were able and willing to give.\n\nHad timely aid been given, it is very possible that many of those who perished in the Leonor might have been saved, and valuable assistance might have been given in other quarters; and this inference is strengthened by what took place at the various outlying Police Stations both on this island and at Kowloong, where the detachments, not being checked from exertion, behaved in a manner which merits the gratitude and praise of the whole community. The names of Inspectors Burns, Grimes, and Youngson have come prominently forward among those who were most active in saving life.\n\nThe conduct of the Police at the Out-stations thus affords a gratifying proof of the willingness of the men to do their duty nobly, where they were not restricted by the orders of their chief.\n\nOur confidence in the discretion and wisdom with which the Police Force is directed has thus been seriously shaken, and we therefore pray that, in view of the circumstances herein set forth, Your Excellency will be pleased to institute a Public Inquiry into these matters, that the truth may be more fully known.\n\nWe have the honor to be Your Excellency's most obedient humble Servants,\n\nSigned by:- Jas.

BOWETT.\n\nCOLONIAL SECRETARY'S OFFICE,\nHongkong, 13th October, 1874.\n\nSIR, --I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 8th Inst., and to acquaint you in reply that the allegations contained in the Petition which accompanied it have been the subject of careful investigation by His Excellency the Governor, who has failed to discover sufficient grounds to justify the institution of a public enquiry into the conduct of the Captain Superintendent of Police.\n\nI have also the honor to inform you that, whilst deeply regretting that any portion of the community should have had their confidence in the direction of the Police Force shaken, His Excellency feels it incumbent upon him to state that at no time in the history of the Colony has the character and efficiency of the Police stood higher.\n\nI have the honor to be, Sir,\nYour most obedient Servant,\nJ. GARDINER AUSTIN,\nColonial Secretary.\n\n## Editorial from The Hongkong Times\n\nTHE HONGKONG TIMES,\nOctober 1st, 1874.\n\nIN THE MATTER OF CAPTAIN DEANE.\n\nWE ARE extremely gratified at being able to place before our readers the official correspondence that has taken place with reference to Captain Deane's conduct during the late typhoon. By those letters, we are enabled to grasp the subject in all its bearings; for our own part, we are exactly of the same opinion now as we were before we knew anything whatever of the correspondence going on. We disagree from the ideas of the Honourable Mr. Rowett altogether, but we do not fail to thoroughly appreciate that gentleman's motives in undertaking to try and rectify what he thought was wrong. We do not consider Captain Deane to be impeccable; and, at different times, we have raised a voice against both his action and his inaction when we thought he merited a little censure, but, in this instance, we consider him free of fault and we certainly intend to uphold his behaviour against which the Honble. Mr. Rowett and some others of the Colonists complain.\n\nThat unfortunate fire business has, however, yet to be explained. There is a vast deal of difference between trying to oppose a typhoon and attempting to put out a fire, and unless Captain Deane can give good reasons for not assisting at the conflagration, it will become the painful duty of the Governor to take him to task on this score.\n\n## Correspondence between Hon. R. Rowett and Hon. J. G. Austin\n\nTHE HON. R. ROWETT TO HON. J. G. AUSTIN,\n\nHong Kong, 23rd September, 1874.\n\nMY DEAR MR. AUSTIN,—Permit me to bring the following circumstances to your consideration in connection with the typhoon of last night.\n\nAt a little before one o'clock this morning, the steamer `Albay`, from Manila, came ashore on the Praya, inside Douglas Lapraik & Co.'s wharf, and just opposite my office. The typhoon was at its worst at the time. Loud cries were heard coming from the ship, when lights were displayed and a rope was thrown on board.\n\nThe Captain, officers, crew and passengers, to the number of 40 in all, were thus enabled to get on shore, and were placed for shelter in the Engine House of the Hongkong Fire Insurance Company. The Captain stated that when he arrived in port last evening, there were 400 persons, all told, on board his vessel.\n\nThese facts were reported at the Central Police Station, by Mr. A. P. McEwen, at about 1.30 a.m., and a statement was taken down in writing, by Captain Superintendent Deane, who, instead of sending assistance to the shipwrecked men refused to allow any of the Police to turn out, on the ground of its being dangerous for them to leave their quarters in such weather; and this, notwithstanding the fact of which he was also informed by Mr. McEwen, viz., that another steamer was coming on shore at the time he left the Praya.\n\nMr. McEwen then returned to the scene of the wreck, and, together with Lieutenant Prior of H.M. 80th Regiment, and Mr. G. W. Baird, once more went to the Police Station, with 30 of the shipwrecked men, the Captain of the `Albay` and his three officers remaining at the engine house. The men, who were all natives of Manila or Malays, except two European passengers, were then taken care of by the police for the night.\n\nMy object in drawing your attention to these facts is to enquire whether you do not consider that it is the duty of the police to be alert in moments of great public danger, and whether it would not have been more in accordance with the object the Government have in maintaining such a force, that they should have been sent wherever their aid might have been needed to save life or property, than that they should have been kept in barracks, while private individuals were able and willing to assist their suffering fellow creatures at some risk to their own lives?\n\nBelieve me, Yours faithfully,\nR. ROWETT.\n\nCAPT. SUPERINTENDENT DEANE TO HON. J. G. AUSTIN.\n\nVictoria, Hongkong, 24th September, 1874.\n\nIMMEDIATE.\n\nSIR, In reply to H.E. the Governor's minute on C.S.O. No. 2799, I have the honor to report that I did refuse to risk the lives of the Police under my command by ordering them to leave the Barracks in the height of a typhoon at 1 a.m. on the 23rd instant.\n\nMr. Rowett entirely overlooks the fact that the danger did not so much arise to persons living on the Praya going outside their doors to render aid, as to a body of men taken through the streets of the city, when, in the words of a local newspaper, \"the atmosphere was principally composed of tiles, brickbats, jalousies, verandah-beams and foliage.\"\n\nAt 2.30 a.m., however, when the barometer showed that the heaviest blasts of wind had passed, I did turn out the men, and we went over all parts of the town: in some places over our waists in water, and experiencing the greatest difficulty in passing along the roads.\n\nI have further to observe that at least 36 of the crew of the `Albay` had been already saved when the report was made, and that the danger of a second steamer was a mere conjecture.\n\nPage 335",

The most prominent one, and I regret to say it has been so for some time past, is the Blockade. In spite of all that has been said and written against these most unprecedented and unjustifiable proceedings of the Canton Customs cruisers in our waters and outside our waters, their depredations—for I can call them nothing else—continue unchecked. However, I think we may now entertain the hope that the question will not continue much longer to be bandied about from one department to the other, and that a settlement will be arrived at ere long. The parliamentary papers lately published, a copy of which I have before me, strengthen very materially the hands of the people of this Colony, in their opposition to this system of\n\n1",

MAY,\nActing Colonial Secretary.\n\n### Government of New Zealand.\n\n## NOTICE TO MARINERS.\n\n[No. 27 of 1878.]\n\nMarine Department, Wellington, 30th October, 1878. The following letter, received from Captain Mies of the brig `Rio Loge`, relative to the position of Rennels and Bellona Islands, is published for general information.\n\nG. GREY.\n\n### RENNELS AND BELLONA ISLANDS, Dunedin, 3rd October, 1878.\n\nSIR-I have the honour to report to you an error in the position of some islands I passed on my passage from Foochow to this port in the brig `Rio Loge`. These islands, named Rennels and Bellona, are marked as \"doubtful\" islands on the latest published charts, and are situated directly in the track between China and Australia. The position assigned to Rennels Island is N.W. point 11° 12' south latitude, and 160° 10' east longitude, whereas the correct position should be for the N.W. point 11° 30' south latitude, and 160° 8' east longitude, making an error of 18' in latitude and 2' in longitude. My observations were taken within two or three miles of the N.W. point, and the error of my chronometer found only the day before at Christoval, so that I can rely upon the position. The S.E. point I place in 11° 51' south and 160° 49' east, approximate. Rennels Island and Bellona bear from each other N.W. by W. and S.E. by E., not more than fifteen miles distant.\n\nI cannot find in any directory a description of Rennels Island, and I believe there is none published, I therefore enclose the following remarks from my own observation:-\n\nRennels Island is about 38 miles long and 8 wide at the N.W., and lies in a N.W. and S.E. direction, is about 600 to 800 feet high, of uniform height throughout, and thickly wooded down to the water's edge. Along the whole N.E. side is a fringing reef about two cables from the shore. The N.W. point is a gradually-sloping point, with a hummock two hundred or three hundred yards from the beach, and has a reef extending about four or five cables from the shore, with a strong tide rippling round the point; the coast trends about three miles to the S.W., and thence to south-eastward. Bellona Island appears to be about the same height as Rennels Island, and also thickly wooded.\n\nTrusting that you will give this publicity for the benefit of shipmasters generally.\n\nI have, &c.,\n\nEDWARD MILES,\nMaster `Rio Loge`.\n\n## THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 22ND JANUARY, 1879.\n\n### Government of India.\n\n## DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE, AGRICULTURE, AND COMMERCE.\n\n## NOTICE TO MARINERS.\n\n[No. 27.]\n\nBAY OF BENGAL-GODAVERY DISTRICT-COCANADA. Intended Exhibition of Revolving light at Vakalepudi.\n\nNotice is hereby given that owing to the extension of the mud deposits from the Godavery river and the consequent removal of the anchorage to the northward, the light at present shown on the north side of the entrance to the Cocanada river is of little use, and that on and after the 15th of January 1879 this light will be extinguished, and a new light exhibited at Vakalapudi, which lies 4.0 nautical miles N. by E. ¼ E. from the present light-house.\n\nThe light will be a revolving white light, showing a flash every 20 seconds, elevated 80 feet above high water, and in clear weather should be visible from a distance of 14 miles, in every direction seaward.\n\nThe illuminating apparatus is catadioptric, or by reflectors and lenses of the fourth order.

        "content_text": "# THE CHINA MAIL.\n\n## HONGKONG, FRIDAY, MAY 2, 1879.\n\n### GENERAL GRANT IN HONGKONG.\n\nThis morning at eleven o'clock, General Grant attended at the United States Consulate and received a considerable number of ladies and gentlemen who were desirous of having the honour of being introduced to him. The Consul, Col. Moneby, and his clerk Mr Rickards, saw to the proper formal introduction of each presentee, and everything passed over most successfully and quietly. The Consulate was adorned with flags. Outside were displayed the Stars and Stripes, and the Peruvian flag; and in the entrance hall were displayed the American flag and the Peruvian, with the Portuguese and Italian flags on either side of the doorway.\n\nThe American Consulate is at the same time the Peruvian Consulate. Over the doorway leading to the reception chamber were the English and American flags. In the reception room, the Russian and German flags were hung. The reception did not last long, less than an hour being occupied altogether. The following is as complete a list as could be obtained of those who were present. If any names are unwittingly left out it is entirely the blame of those who failed to leave their cards — G. Holcombe, Esq., Charge d'Affaires, Peking; Bishop Raimondi; Hon. Acting Puisne Judge, J. J. Francis, Esq.; Hon. the Acting Attorney General, J. Russell, Esq.; Rev. Dr. Eitel, Inspector of Schools; Dr. Chalmers, Canton; Judge Denny, U.S. Consul, Tientsin; Hon. W. Keswick; Hon. K. Ryrie; Dr. Lochhead; Commander Perkins, and F. D. M'Ewan, U.S.S. Ashuelot; W. Reiners, Russian Consul; A. G. Romano, Portuguese Consul; Dr. Wm. Eastlake; Frank W. Eastlake; E. Sharp; R. H. Sandeman; J. N. Jameson; W. H. Forbes; J. M. Forbes, Jr.; Geo. Murray Bain; B. Chatterton Wilcox; C. L. Gorham; A. F. Smith; H. H. Nelson; C. Vincent Smith; John Kyle; H. Dickie; L. Mallory; W. W. Battles; Geo. H. Wheeler; T. Thompson; B. M. Blanchard; W. Dolan; Commissary J. Macfarlane; F. D. Sassoon; Q. C. Williams, Swatow; H. Deacon; W. H. Ray; W. Spratt; M. E. Manook; R. D. Mehta; F. Abella; A. Ahlmann; I. Hopplus; Albert Gultzow; Fred. Rickards; Capt. Hayden (Sea Gull); Mr Reinor (Sea Gull); Capt. Brothhurst (Coran); Capt. Means, Mrs Means and family; Capt. Johnson, Mrs Johnson, and family; Capt. Holmes and Mrs Holmes; Capt. Call and Mrs Call; Capt. Evans; Capt. Lunt; Capt. Hutchinson; Capt. Clough; Capt. Lewis; Capt. Tapley; Capt. Mansen; Capt. Smith; Capt. Wass; Capt. Windsor; and the following Chinese—Leung On; Wong Yik Pun; Tang Kau; Tam King; Fung Tang; Chun Poh Yeong; Chu Siu; Fung Ming Shan; Lee Pun Chi; Yu Chong. General Grant, his son Lieut.-Col. Grant, and Mr Russell J. Young, who accompanied him, after the reception proceeded to Government House to tiffin, and spent most of the afternoon there. During the afternoon Messrs. Roberts and Shorter, the billiard players, had the honour of playing at Government House, before His Excellency and General Grant, the ladies, and the other members of the party. The Governor and General Grant drove round the town in the course of the afternoon.\n\nTo-night, a dinner will take place at Government House, when about twenty guests will be present. Mr and Mrs Robert Hart, who proceed to Shanghai to-day by the French steamer, were among the guests at Government House last night. To-morrow night a State Dinner will be given, when about forty guests will be present, all official guests appearing in full uniform. The Band will be in attendance, and a reception will be held from 10 till 12; when the brilliant lighting up of Government House Gardens will add additional beauty and attraction to this evening's entertainment. Half way up the hill, in Wyndham Street, a capital transparency portrait of General Grant, with on the other side the British and American flags, has been exposed every night, lighted up brilliantly, and has attracted much attention. The lamp is shown over the house of Mr Moore, an American.\n\nGeneral Grant is a man in appearance about fifty years of age, although actually seven years older, having been born in 1822, 27th April. He looks uncommonly fresh in spite of the tear and wear of War's alarms, and the worrying and trying boredom of being lionized as he has been for the past six months or more. He is rather under than over the average size, has a fresh ruddy face, and brown hair of a grayish hue. He is evidently a man of most unassuming manners and most dogged resolution, and when he gets into his favourite attitude, crossing his knees and leaning slightly forward, with his cigar in his hand, he recalls to one's recollection the five or six hundred portraits we have all seen of him, either during the war or the term of his double presidency.\n\nIn conversation he is a willing participator, and talks genially and pleasantly.\n\nPage 333",

C. Hewett, A.M.D., with the School, and his position in the list of candidates who entered the service contemporaneously with him, hereby certify that Mr. Hewett went through the Netley courses of instruction on two occasions, viz., firstly as a Naval Medical Candidate in the Summer Session of 1873-74, when he took the first place in the list of Naval Candidates, gaining a combined total at London and Netley of 4,317 marks; and secondly as an Army Medical Candidate in the winter of 1875-76, when he took the first place in the list of Army Medical Candidates, gaining a combined total at London and Netley of 5,012 marks. Surgeon Hewett was attentive to his duties at Netley, and proved that he had good professional abilities.\n\n**T. LONGMORE, Surg.-General, Professor of Military Surgery; M. C.

MACDONALD, M.D., F.R.S., R.N., Professor of Naval Hygiene**\n\n## Army Medical Department-No. 55,235-12-W, 0.-27th March, 1878\n\n### Naval Hospitals-Inspector-General's Certificate\n\nThis is to certify that Mr. Frederick C. C. Hewett served in the Royal Hospital at Haslar, under his appointment as Surgeon of H.M.S. \"Duke of Wellington,\" from the 12th February, 1873, to the 6th March, 1874, during which time he has complied in every respect with the regulations of the Hospital, and his general conduct has been such as to merit my approbation.\n\nGiven under my hand this 6th day of March, 1874.\n\n**WM. R. E. SMART, Inspector-General of Haslar Hospital**\n\n## Halifax, N.S., Feb. 22nd, 1878\n\nI have pleasure in testifying to Surgeon Hewett's administrative ability and professional skill; he has had charge of the Military Hospital here for two years and has filled the duties to my entire satisfaction.\n\n**AUGUSTUS SHELTON, P.M.O., Dpt. Surg. Genl.**\n\n## 11, Grafton Street, Berkeley Square, London, Jan. 25th, 1879\n\nMr. F. Cresswell Hewett has been well-known to me for some years. During his pupillage at St. Bartholomew's Hospital he had an excellent reputation for diligence and general intelligence. For some years past he has done good service in the Medical Department of the Army, and would have taken a high position in that service had he elected to remain in it. I am of opinion that Mr. Hewett is eminently qualified to hold any Poor Law appointment that he may aspire to, and I need only further add that I shall be prepared to congratulate any community upon securing the services of so skilful and energetic a medical officer.\n\n**DYCE DUCKWORTH, M.D., Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians, Assistant Physician to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, Examiner in Pract. of Physic in the University of Edinburgh**\n\n## Royal College of Surgeons of England, Lincoln's Inn Fields, Jan. 28, 1879\n\nWith much pleasure I bear testimony to the merits of Mr. F.

        "content_text": "(4)\n\n# THE MUSEUM.\n\nThe Committee have every reason to be satisfied with the progress made in the Museum during the last twelve months. Many articles have been added to the collection, while the interest taken in the Museum by all classes of the community but especially by the Chinese has in no way abated, and the regulations in force as to its management have, so far as the Committee are aware, been satisfactory to all. Considerable correspondence has however passed between the local Government and the Committee with reference to the rules as to admission to the Museum;—His Excellency the Governor being of opinion apparently that if there is any limit as to the hours at which different classes of the community can visit the Museum, the latter cannot be said to be open free. The Committee on the other hand, considering that such rules should be made as would secure a fair opportunity to people of all nationalities of visiting the Museum, and after full consideration adopted the regulations objected to, but have now, after having the benefit of the opinion of the Chief Justice and the Bishop, slightly modified the previous rules. A copy of the new rules will be found in the correspondence published herewith. In order that the public may fully understand what has been done with reference to this matter it has been deemed advisable to attach to this report a copy of all the correspondence that has taken place on the subject between the 19th September 1879 and the 10th August, 1880.\n\nThe number of visitors during the twelve months ending the 30th June 1880 has been 134,551, of whom 118,132 were Chinese.\n\nDuring the same period 36 persons have contributed articles either on loan or as gifts. The following are the names of the contributors: Messrs. J. White, J. Robinson, Joseph Ribeiro, J. Kirkwood, J. C. Hughes, C. Ford, J. B. Ball, P. H. Emanuel, A. Woblters, M. S. Tonnochy, H. H. Nelson, A. Schomburg, G. Rome, T. Hamlin, H. L. Dennys, H. E. Hobson, J. M. Jesus, C. H. Palmer, H. B. Guppy, M.B. R.N., T. I. Bowler, G. O. Rogers, H. Wharton, H. Cohen, Lau Ayau, Wm. McClellan, F. Degenaer, Kyle and Bain, Vass Tomes, C. Seimund, J. Seier, Highterary, Arnold Ellert, E. D. Woodford, Wm. Peterson, and Mrs. D. Palmeira.\n\n(5)\n\n# ACCOUNTS.\n\nAs in former years the funds of the Institution have been materially assisted by subscriptions obtained from the Community. During the last year $680 has been subscribed by Europeans and $847 by the Chinese.\n\nThe fact that no money has been received from the Government since June last year accounts for the present low state of the funds and has of course necessitated the utmost economy in the way of expenditure. On the 30th June, 1880, there was in the hands of the Honorary Treasurer $1,379.39 to the credit of the City Hall, but as on that date a debt of $142.91 due to the estate of Yün Tim was outstanding the actual working balance might be considered to be $936.48.\n\nThe usual premia of Insurance have been duly met during the last year, and no debts of any magnitude, with the exception of $215.92 due for the last half-yearly search for white ants, are now outstanding.\n\nW. KESWICK,\n\nChairman.\n\n38\n\nDec.",

        "content_text": "The Daily Press. HONGKONG, APRIL 11TH, 1881.\n\nPRESENTATION OF AN ADDRESS TO SIR JOHN SMALE.\n\nA public address was presented to Sir John Smale, Chief Justice of Hongkong, at the City Hall, on Saturday afternoon. There was a considerable attendance, but much disappointment was expressed by many who were not present owing to no proper intimation of the holding of the meeting having been made. The attendance included a large proportion of Indians and some Chinese, and most of the European firms were represented by their chief partners.\n\nThe Chief Justice was met at the door of the Hall, by the Hon. P. Ryrie, Hon. W. Keswick, Mr. Justice Snowden, Mr. Hayllar, Q.C., and Messrs. Hoppias, Dalrymple, Belilios, Sassoon, Attonjee, and Braddon, who conducted his Lordship to the platform.\n\nThe address was presented by the Hon. P. RYRIE, who said—Sir John, I experienced much satisfaction when the pleasing duty was allotted to me of presenting to you the numerously signed address which I now hold in my hand and which I shall presently read. It has been my privilege to number you and the members of your family among my friends since the year 1861, and during that time the relations between us have been most cordial. I only regret that they are now to be severed by your departure for England, but I hope they may be renewed in our native country before long. That the departure of yourself and Lady Smale from this colony will be felt as a loss to our social circle, everyone I am sure will agree with me. Yourself and your amiable partner have done much to make residence in this colony agreeable by a most liberal dispensation of hospitality at your own residence and by assisting at our gatherings whether of a private, public, or semi-public character. As a most liberal donor to all charities and a subscriber to educational and missionary movements in this colony you will also be a great loss. In the Legislative Council, I have now been associated with you for fifteen years, and I am therefore able to state how conscientiously you have performed your duties as a member of that body, and as an unofficial member I have a grateful recollection of the manner in which you, from your seat in the Council, supported us, the unofficial members, when bringing forward views for the public benefit. (Hear, hear.) It is true that by an order of the Secretary of State you were debarred from voting save with the Executive, but, notwithstanding that, we on many occasions felt your sympathies were with us. I need not refer here and now to the performance of your duties as Attorney-General and Chief Justice. One gentleman, much more competent than I to form an opinion and more able to express it, addressed you yesterday in the Supreme Court in the name of the members of the legal profession in the Colony. That address I was very glad, and I am sure many here were glad, to read in the newspaper this morning. If you will now permit me, Sir John, I will read this address.—(Applause.)—\n\nThe hon. gentleman then read the address as follows:—\n\nTo the Honourable Sir JOHN SMALE, Knight, Chief Justice of Hongkong.\n\nSIR,—We, the undersigned Residents of Hongkong, desire, upon your approaching departure, to express the high sense we entertain of your public services as Attorney General and Chief Justice successively of this Colony.\n\nTo the administration of these offices you have brought not only high legal attainments, great acumen and a judgment ripened by long experience, but have been still more honourably distinguished by your strong sense of justice and pure sympathy with the right.\n\nMainly dealing, as the Supreme Court has to do, with a population alien to ourselves in race, language, and customs, the duty imposed on you of presiding at trials, both civil and criminal, protracted, and of the highest importance, has been one of exceptional difficulty. Of the success of your administration of the law, facts speak more than words; and in the increasing prosperity of the Colony, in the numbers of persons of various races who daily flock here to seek home or fortune, in the security of life and property, and the diminution of serious crime, will be found the best record of your services.\n\nIn looking back over the many years of your laborious career there is no matter which we feel you must ever contemplate with special pride and gratification. We allude to the attitude you have firmly maintained towards slavery in whatever form and however disguised, and the nefarious trade in women and children so often carried on in this Colony for the most infamous of purposes. The fruition of your work in this direction is not yet complete, but the policy you have done so much to inaugurate and carry out will never cease to be honourably associated with your name.\n\nOf your labours in the Legislative Council, of your connection with various public movements, of the sense of duty you have imported into all your public acts, we can say no better than that they afford a standard for all those who succeed you to be guided by. We now beg to bid you farewell, and finally wishing you a prosperous voyage and the enjoyment, for many tranquil years, of the repose you have so well earned, we subscribe ourselves, your sincere friends.\n\n(Signed)\n\nP.

        "content_text": "## THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 31st JULY, 1880.\n\nNo doubt, the repeated representations I ventured to address to Lord CARNARVON in 1877 against \"the Conditional Pardon and Deportation system, were mainly based on the clear evidence I had obtained that, however well intended or admirable in theory, it was a bad system, inconsistent with prison discipline, and that instead of checking crime it fostered and enlarged a criminal class on our Kowloong frontier and even within the Colony: but I was not insensible either to the sound general principles His Lordship had laid down on this subject in addressing the Governor of New South Wales in October 1874 in certain despatches, copies of which had been transmitted to my predecessor in 1875, and in which the Secretary of State had said :-----\n\nThe effect upon neighbouring Colonies, the Empire generally, or foreign countries, of letting loose a highly criminal or dangerous felon to reside in any part of the world except only that principally concerned to take charge of him, was a step which might clearly and not unreasonably give rise to complaints from without the Colony.\n\nTo release a criminal upon the condition that he should inflict himself either upon other Colonies and foreign countries or upon this country, was altogether in opposition to the theory now generally adopted.\n\nI am happy to say that, as the Chief Justice points out in his Report, Chinese criminals can be effectually dealt with in Hongkong without having recourse to this dangerous expedient.\n\nI have, &c.,\n\n(Signed) J. 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.

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.

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.

As Head of the Police you had in a great measure to establish that force, or rather to remodel it, and adapt it for the discharge of its very varied and important duties amongst different nationalities and under circumstances of great difficulty. I can testify to the amount of success\n\nwhich attended your efforts, especially as your Police numbered I think over 700, comprised many elements difficult to work in union but above all I have pleasure in being witness to the energy and zeal which marked all your efforts, whilst as a Magistrate you were uniformly painstaking & just, as well as highly competent.\n\nSeeing that your position in China was highly honourable, trustworthy and lucrative I presume you only seek an office here of a very eligible nature. In any case I hope that whatever be the result it may be for your best interests.\n\nBelieve me to be\n\nVery faithfully yours,\n\n(Signed) Richard Graves-MacDonnell.\n\nList of officers who have held the Colonial Treasurership in Hong Kong.\n\n11: John Colour Treasurer retired In 1871 succeeded by Wm.

My dear Sir,—I desire to tender my grateful acknowledgments to you, and through yourself to the large number of gentlemen who have been good enough to address me in the terms of the letter which you forwarded to me yesterday. \n\nConscious that I have never been actuated except by a strict sense of duty in all my official acts during the ten years that I have devoted to the public service of the colony, and that in the administration of the Department with which I have the honour to be connected, I have always endeavoured to do the best for the interests of the public, according to \n\n17 F abilities, whatever these may be worth, it has been very gratifying to me to find that \n\nso important a portion of my fellow colonists should have given no credence to the imputations of unworthy motives so persistently made \n\nby private malice in connection with nearly every act of my official life, and that their confidence in my personal character and in my ability to continue usefully serving the colony, should have remained unshaken. It is a great honour to a Government servant to be the recipient of a public testimonial couched in the language of the one you have been good enough to transmit to me, I am very sensible of that honour, and find it difficult to express adequately my appreciation of the kindly feeling that has prompted this manifestation of good will on the part of so many whose opinions I estimate so highly. I need scarcely add that the document will be valued by me as the pleasantest memorial of my life in China. \n\nAlthough it is true that in the position I was recently called upon to take I was \n\ndischarging \n\n233",

DONALD SPENCE**\n\n## Inclosure 2 in No. 4.\n\n**Declaration by Yen A-shêng, Chinese sailor, \"évadé\" from French batteries, Kelung, January 10.**\n\nAPPEARED before me, W. Donald Spence, Acting Consul, Taiwan, this 26th January, 1885, Yen A-shêng, and having sworn, after the manner of his nation, to speak the truth, deposed as follows:--  \nMy name is Yen A-sheng. I am 31 years of age, from the Pescadores. I was employed in an Anping junk, and was returning from Fanghao with a cargo of firewood on the 26th November, when she was captured by a French ship and all hands (five) made prisoners. The junk was towed to Anping, and on the 29th November blown up.\n\nWe were transferred from one ship to another for the space of a month. I did not see many Chinese prisoners on board. The French were often engaged with junks, but I did not dare to look over the side. I was very well treated on board and got plenty of food; but they shaved our heads.\n\n(Witness' head clean shaved.---W. D. S.)\n\nFinally I was taken to Kelang. We were there twenty days. We were a gang of 120 prisoners, 90 of us being made to carry sand in buckets from the shore to the batteries. The rest were employed in the barracks. All night we were put in irons. The only food we got was the leavings of the Annamese, a bowl of old rice at a time, and very often not even that. We had not enough water to drink on days when there was no rain. There were over twenty French warders, mostly white men. Of the ninety Chinamen in the gang, seventeen fell out unable to work through illness and want of food, and they were all shot by the French. Two of my mates were shot. I saw them do it. One was my first cousin, Yen A-ch'in, aged 36; the other Chang A-cha, 35. They were unable to work, and the warder put a revolver to their ears and blew their brains out. I swear this is true. Men who could not work were progged by bayonets and made to work, and when that failed they were shot, some through the head, some through the chest. I saw them do it with my own eyes.\n\nAn attack was made on the French posts by Lin Yu-li on the 10th January with his trainbands. The French turned out to repel the attack, and all our warders went except six or seven. We were in a battery on the top of a hill, and thinking it a good chance to escape, made a rush over the crest and down the other side in the direction of the Chinese lines. I fell and sprained my wrist. We were fired upon, but sixty-seven out of the whole number, including myself, escaped.\n\nAll this I swear to be true.\n\nSworn before me,  \n(Signed)  \n**WM. DONALD SPENCE**, Acting Consul.\n\nX Mark.\n\n## Inclosure 3 in No. 4.\n\n**PARTICULARS of Damage to Junks by French Fleet off Formosa, January 1885.**\n\n| Date       | District        | Occurrence |\n|------------|-----------------|------------|\n| 1884. Dec. 21 | Hsia chu district | A French cruiser anchored at Hung Mao-kong with a junk in tow.

        "content_text": "549\n\n812\n\n(Enclosure 1.)\n\nReport of a Commission appointed by His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government to consider a letter from the Superintendent of Victoria Gaol reporting the overcrowded state thereof.\n\n1. On the 8th April last a Commission consisting of the Honourable the Acting Attorney General as Chairman; The Honourable A. LISTEL, Colonial Treasurer; The Honourable J. M. PRICE, Surveyor General: E. MACKSAN, Esquire, Acting Police Magistrate; Major-General GORDON, Superintendent, Victoria Gaol; The Honourable W. KESWICK, M.L.C.; C. P. CHATER, Esquire, J. P.; A. P. MACEWEN, Esquire, J. P.; P. MANSON, Esquire, M.D., J. P. was appointed for the purpose of considering a report of the Superintendent of the Gaol on the insufficient accommodation in that Establishment and the steps which should be taken to remedy the present state of things.\n\n2. This Commission met at once and has held several sittings.\n\n3. Two sub-committees were appointed, the first consisting of:\n\nTHE CHAIRMAN,\n\nHonourable WM. KESWICK,\n\nE. MACKEAN, Esquire,\n\nMajor-General GORDON,\n\nDr. MANSON, and\n\nC. P. CHATER, Esquire.\n\nto visit the Gaol at night and report on the state thereof, and another consisting of:\n\nMajor-General Gordon,\n\nDr. MANSON, and Dr. AYRES,\n\nto enquire into the diet of the prisoners and to report what changes, if any, should be made therein.\n\n4. The reports of these sub-committees are annexed hereto. (Enclosures 4 and 5.)\n\n5. On the whole question submitted to us we beg to report as follows:\n\nWe deem it necessary in the first place to bring prominently before His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government the peculiar position of Hongkong, a position occupied by no other Colony of Great Britain.\n\nHongkong is situate at the very door of two of the largest provinces of China, and close to and in daily communication with Canton, one of the most populous cities of China. A famine or want of work in either of those provinces or in the city would naturally send a certain number of the inhabitants to Hongkong in search of work or of subsistence, whilst the presence in Canton of an active or severe Viceroy at once forces or induces many of the criminal class to change the scene of their depredations and to migrate to Hongkong, where even if detected a mild and lenient treatment awaits them instead of the sharp and cruel punishment which they would certainly receive in China.\n\nThis fact cannot be too steadily borne in mind in dealing with the question of punishment for offences.\n\n6. In Hongkong we have to legislate not only for the Hongkong criminal class but for numbers of that class elsewhere, who are only too ready whenever the occasion arises to repair to this Colony and prey on it.\n\n7. From a return furnished by the Superintendent of the Gaol (Enclosure 6.) it appears that of the 732 prisoners confined on the 11th April, 1886, 677 were Chinese; 274 were detained under sentences of six months; 114 from six months to twelve months; 60 from one year to two years; 39 from two years to three years; 44 from three years to five years; 142 from over five years.\n\nOf those sentenced to penal servitude many have been convicted of simple Larceny after previous convictions for the same offence, and have been so sentenced as a long imprisonment was the only punishment left to secure the public from further depredation.\n\n8. With respect to the deterrent effect of imprisonment this Commission has no hesitation in saying that under the liberal diet which at present exists in the Gaol and other circumstances attending imprisonment, a short detention, say under six months, is no punishment for an ordinary Chinaman, he is better fed and better housed in prison than outside and the work or task which he has to perform is certainly less than he would have to do to obtain a livelihood were he free. He is in almost unrestricted association with criminals like himself and has one and a half day's holiday a week, a thing which the ordinary Chinese labourer never enjoys.\n\n9. On the question of punishment the Commission have considered the legislation as to whipping.\n\n10. The law which at present regulates whipping is Ordinance 3 of 1881. It repeals the Ordinances or Sections of Ordinances hereinafter mentioned and provides whipping with a Patton when any offender has been convicted of a crime punishable under Section 19 of Ordinance 4 of 1865 or under Section 31 of Ordinance 7 of 1865, that is:\n\nSection 19 of 4 of 1865 punishes any one attempting to choke, strangle, or suffocate any other person, or who by means calculated to choke, suffocate, or strangle shall attempt to render any one unconscious or incapable of resistance, and Section 31 of Ordinance 7 of 1865 punishes robbery with violence.\n\n11. The only other case in which whipping is at present allowed is under Section 8 of Ordinance 16 of 1875 which permits a Police Magistrate to inflict whipping on any male offender whose age appears to him not to exceed 16 years when such offender has been convicted of Larceny or any offence deemed and punishable as simple Larceny.\n\n12. The present Ordinance, viz., 3 of 1881, repeals\n\n1°. No. 12 of 1865 under which whipping could be inflicted on any male offender convicted of a crime who at the time of the commission thereof had been armed with an offensive weapon or instrument or who at the time of, or immediately before or after the commission of the crime had used personal violence, or who should at any of the times aforesaid have attempted to render any other person insensible unconscious or incapable of resistance.\n\n2°. Sections 2 and 3 of Ordinance 12 of 1845 which enacted banishment and branding for persons convicted of belonging to the Triad Society.\n\n3°. Section 7 of Ordinance 12 of 1856 which allowed whipping for injury to trees, shrub fences, &c., and for obeying calls of nature in any exposed or improper place,\n\n4°. Sub-section 9 of Section 28 of Ordinance 8 of 18.. relating to mendicancy.\n\n5°. Section 9 of Ordinance 1 of 1886 for the suppression of piracy which enacted whipping for offences against that Ordinance.\n\n6. Section 1 of Ordinance 3 of 1868 which prescribed whipping for persons convicted of child stealing or forcible detention of any man, woman or child for the purpose of selling them.\n\n7.

        "content_text": "wanted for dried specimens, but if the tree blossoms again this year, which there is every reason to expect it will do, the flowers will be left on the tree and fertilized for the production of fruit which will no doubt succeed the flowers.\n\n26. BAMBOO.-In my annual report for 1882 I stated that I had brought together in one collection twenty-five kinds of bamboos. These have continued to do well, and some further additions have been made. I hope whenever there is an opportunity to still further increase the collection. The bamboos of China are of great interest and utility and many of them are probably unknown to science. It is impossible to assign them to their true places in systematic botany until flowers are obtained from which a complete and satisfactory study of them can be made. The bamboo flowers at such long intervals that if we trust to travellers being able to furnish the desired flowering specimens the day will be very far distant when the study will have made much progress. One reason why the different kinds should be cultivated in these Gardens, is that when flowers are produced they can be immediately secured for investigation.\n\n27. A year or two ago Dr. MacGowan kindly sent me specimens of the very interesting square-stemmed bamboo, but unfortunately they did not survive the passage. When he was passing through the Colony recently Dr. MacGowan was good enough to promise to send me a further consignment, I hope, therefore, to have the plant in cultivation shortly.\n\n28. While writing this note on bamboos I have received a letter from Mr. Dyer, the Director of Kew Gardens, in which he says in reference to this very subject:-\"The Chinese species of this group are very badly known. There is a kind with large leaves which is used for lining tea chests, but about which nothing else is known. It would be a most important thing to take up vigorously the study of bamboos and procure specimens whenever they are to be met with in flower.\"\n\n29. TREE TOMATO.-(Cyphomandra betacea).-Vigorous plants which grew from seeds sent me by Mr. Morris, the late Director of the Jamaica Botanical Department, produced a crop of fruit during the summer, but heavy rains which occurred at the time so seriously damaged the plants that the fruit did not mature properly. I fear that the saturated condition of the soil during the rainy season will prevent this useful plant being successfully grown in the Colony. In the drier, and more sandy soil of Kowloon, however, it is possible that it may succeed.\n\n30. DILLENIA SPECIOSA.-An Indian tree which was introduced about ten years ago bore a heavy crop of fruit. In India the fruit is used for tarts. That which the tree bore was found to be a fairly good substitute for apples, which it somewhat resembled.\n\n31. VITIS MARTINII (?)-The Cochin-China vine again yielded a very heavy crop of fruit. This has received a good deal of attention in America where it is being experimented with as a new wine producer. For this purpose it has been spoken of favourably. It is possible that in some climates which are unsuitable for the cultivation of the grape-vine this one might be of considerable service, I tried the fruit in tarts, and the flavour was found to be good and palatable, but the large seeds are objectionable; however, it is possible that this drawback might be diminished in time by cultivation. The large leaves of the plant give it a distinguished and ornamental appearance which is an additional recommendation for its finding a place in tropical gardens, if not even in hot-houses of temperate climates.\n\n32. GOVERNMENT HOUSE GROUNDS.---When these were laid out many years ago they were planted with such things as could be most readily secured, but unfortunately the selection and variety of trees chosen was in consequence not so good as desirable. From time to time a good many objectionable trees have been removed and replaced with others of a more ornamental character, amongst them being a large number of palms and some conifers. These have all done well and greatly improved the appearance of the garden. There is still a large number of trees, notably the very common banians and clumps of bamboos, which mar the effect and effectually stand in the way of further improvements which ought to be made without delay.\n\n33. PLANT SALES.-The demand for plants continues to steadily increase. During the year plants were sold, and they realised $409.35, which is an excess of $137.50 over the sales for 1885. The sales would have been greater if the supply had been equal to the demand. Means are not adequate for the cultivation of certain kinds of plants, but I hope that a re-arrangement of nursery appliances, and an extension of the ground which will be effected this year will place us in a better position to meet public requirements, and a growing taste for plants. A Glass-house fifty feet long is in course of construction, when finished it will be used for propagation and growth of delicate plants which in the early stages of growth require its protection. A new Catalogue of Plants for sale in 1887 has been printed.\n\nDISTRIBUTION AND EXCHANGE OF PLANTS AND SEEDS.\n\n34. The total number of plants and trees distributed was 6,771, and of packets and bags of seeds 18 weighing about 40 lbs. Of the trees and plants 1,918 were sold, 2,800 supplied free to the Royal Engineers for planting at the new forts, 800 given to various Police Stations and planted at the Government Hospital new grounds, and the balance, 1,253, were distributed in exchange.\n\n35. Of plants received in exchange the number was 1,326, and of bags, boxes and packets of seed 53 weighing about 70 lbs.\n\n36. The following is a list of Recipients of plants and seeds :-\n\nAcclimatisation Society, Brisbane.\n\nActing Governor of Fiji.\n\nArmstrong, A.

L.\n\n38. To the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, I am indebted for two Wardian cases of useful and ornamental plants which I selected at Kew and brought with me when I returned from England in June.\n\n39. A valuable collection of orchids was kindly contributed by Dr. King, Superintendent of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Calcutta.\n\n40. Senor Don Sebastian Vidal y Soler, Inspector-General of Forests, Manila, also kindly sent a very valuable collection of Manila orchids.\n\n41. Kew also sent out a number of succulent plants which should have special mention.\n\n42. LOAN PLANTS.-The collection grown specially for loan for decorative purposes at public balls and other entertainments has not been in such good condition as I hoped they would be by this time, but before the next season of festivities I hope that, with more special care devoted to them, they will be more worthy of the purposes for which they are intended. These plants are always lent free, the only charge made being that for their conveyance.\n\n43. GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL.-Application was made to this Department to plant with shade and ornamental trees the new Grounds adjacent to the Hospital which had been designed for the recreation of the patients. A considerable amount of planting was done accordingly, but the prospect is not anticipated of the successful results being achieved which might have been had this Department being placed in a position to deal with the grounds at a much earlier stage in the progress of their formation.\n\n44. REGIMENTAL BAND PERFORMANCES.--Throughout the summer months the Band of the 2nd Northamptonshire Regiment, through the kindness of the Colonel and Officers, entertained the public every Sunday, commencing at 9 o'clock P.M. when the weather permitted, and during the cold weather commencing at 3.30 P.M. It has been the custom to illuminate the Gardens for these performances with Japanese paper lanterns. These illuminations necessitated the erection on Saturdays of material\n\nPage 360\n\nPage 361",

I believe that Mr. Brameton and Sir G. Phillippo thoroughly understand and agree that the present naval yard (should the transfer be approved of) would be at the service of the Admiralty until such time as the new site is ready for occupation.\n\n10. I am further of opinion that it would be desirable to exchange some of the land at the back of the new Kowloon site, on which small garden allotments are marked, for the hill marked B, with the War Department, as this site being high would, from a sanitary point of view, be probably more desirable for building residences on if required, besides its being a commanding situation, and as the War Department have never used it up to the present, probably it would suit them to have the land more immediately adjoining their property.\n\n11. I again attended at the Colonial Office at the same hour on the 10th instant, and met Mr. Branston, Colonel Locock, and Colonel Lloyd, R.E., the latter having been the Officer superintending the Admiralty works at Hong Kong during the earlier part of my command there; nothing further was settled on the naval point, but Colonel Locock stated that he was of opinion that there would be no objection on the part of the War Department to hand over the land seaward of the Queen's Road, west of the Wellington Barracks (which includes the North Barracks), to the colony, receiving the money value to be expended on new buildings.\n\n12.

DES VEUX, Governor.\n\nHis Excellency Vice-Admiral\n\nSir Nowell Salmon, K.C.D., V.C.,\n\n$0.\n\n&C.,\n\n&c.\n\nEnclosure 2 in China Letter No. 146 of 8th May, 1888.\n\n\"Audacious,\" at Hong Kong,\n\n11th April, 1888. In reply to your letter, No. 35 G, I have examined into the scheme for extending the Praya in front of the naval dockyard and, taken generally, shall have no objection to submit it for consideration to the Admiralty.\n\nSir,\n\n2. The plan enclosed is, however, somewhat deficient in detail; so, before doing so, I should be glad to be assured on the following points, viz.:-\n\n(1.) That the roadway and bridge be sufficiently walled in, not only to prevent trespassing on the Admiralty property, but also as a security against theft of Government stores.\n\n(2.) That the Admiralty have the sole right of entry into the Camber.\n\n(3.) That the existing sewers be carried out beyond the line of the new sea wall.\n\n(4.) That the shore in front of the carpenters' shed and timber store be carried out 20 feet and sloped down to low water mark, with hauling-up slip for large boats, as at present.\n\n(5.) That the width of the new jetty be 80 feet, and the shears be removed there.\n\n(6.) That the Camber be dredged out to 10 feet.\n\n3. On receiving assurance that these points will be included in the scheme, I will lose no time in forwarding it.\n\nHis Excellency\n\nSir G. Wm. des Voeux, K.C.M.G.,\n\n&o., &c., &c., Hong Kong.\n\nI am, &c.,\n\nNOWELL SALMON, Vice-Admiral.\n\nEnclosure 3 in China Letter No. 146 of 8th May 1888.\n\nM\n\n26\n\nNo. 35 G.\n\nSir,\n\nEnclosure No. 1 in China Letter 146 of 8th May 1888.\n\nGovernment House, Hong Kong,\n\n7th April 1888.\n\nI have the honour to transmit to you the accompanying plan of the proposed Praya embankment in front of the Royal Naval Yard recently prepared by the Surveyor-General and Major Brooke, Engineer to the Admiralty, and to request your Excellency, if you approve of the design, to recommend it to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty for adoption, the colony defraying the cost of its execution.\n\nYour Excellency is probably by this time aware that the early settlement of this long-pending question has become of urgent, I may say of gravely urgent, importance\n\nSir,\n\nGovernment House, Hong Kong,\n\n23rd April 1888.\n\nI have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Excellency's letter of the No. 41 G. 11th instant, on the subject of the proposed Praya extension in front of the naval yard, and to convey to your Excellency my thanks for your promise to lose no time in placing the matter before the Admiralty.\n\n2. With regard to the points as to which your Excellency desires further assurance, I have pleasure in informing you as follows:-\n\n(1.) The proposed bridge and roadway will be fenced on both sides by a wall or parapet, with the object, among others, of preventing trespassing on Admiralty property.\n\n(247)\n\nG\n\nPage 450\n\nPage 451",

        "content_text": "# The Mercantile Marine Service Association\n\n## Hong Kong Telegraph 19/11/90\n\n### A National Disgrace!\n\n#### THE SUNDAY LABOUR QUESTION. AN APPEAL TO GOVERNMENT.\n\nHis Excellency the Acting Governor received a deputation from the British Mercantile Marine Officers' Association at Government House yesterday. The deputation, which was received in the first instance by Lieut. Thorburn, A.D.C., and subsequently introduced to His Excellency by the Hon. Secretary, consisted of Captain S. Ashton, Mr. J. W. James, Mr. Chesney Duncan (Hon. Secretary), Messrs. J. W. Gale, N.A. (President), Mr. Pearce, W. Winch (officers), and James Edwards (Hon. Treasurer).\n\nThe Mercantile Marine Service Association was incorporated by Special Act of Parliament for conserving the interests of the British Merchant Service, promoting the general improvement of nautical men by education, wholesome laws, obtaining redress of wrongs, procuring employment, and caring for the helpless and aged.\n\nCaptain Ashton said that the deputation felt most deeply grateful to His Excellency for granting them an interview. They sought to address the strong feeling amongst British officers that there should be a cessation of labour on board ships in this port on Sundays. Having studied Lord Knutsford's speech on the subject, made in the House of Lords on the 25th of July last, the Association came to the conclusion that the best way of causing much-needed legislation on the subject was to move the Chamber of Commerce to recommend Government to introduce a Bill which would cause the cessation of unnecessary Sunday labour.\n\n| **Position** | **Name** |\n| --- | --- |\n| President | J. W. Gale, N.A. |\n| Hon. Secretary | Chesney Duncan |\n| Hon. Treasurer | James Edwards |\n\nThe Association discussed the question at length with the Committee of the Chamber of Commerce at a public conference held at the City Hall on the 7th ultimo. Full reports of the arguments occasioned, together with the Chamber's written decision, dated the 31st of October, had doubtless come within His Excellency's cognizance.\n\nCaptain Ashton continuing said, \"We are very glad to think that His Excellency has taken notice of the movement which, we submit, is a righteous and justifiable movement, and a protest against moral slavery.\" He contended that the reply of the Chamber was unjustifiable in the circumstances and was an insult to officers. The Chamber's proposition was impracticable in the extreme and amounted to a modus vivendi.\n\nThe Chamber wrote, \"The Committee are of opinion that the Government could not legislate for the complete suppression of Sunday labour in this harbour, as the questions involved are very serious and would affect injuriously all the shipping interests of the Colony, and particularly the large Chinese population connected therewith.\" Captain Ashton argued that the Government could legislate for the suppression of Sunday labour without injuriously affecting the shipping interests or the Chinese population.\n\nHis Excellency, in reply, said he was very glad to receive the deputation and to hear their views on a question which was admittedly one of much importance. He believed it was admitted on all sides that it would be desirable to diminish Sunday labour if such could possibly be done. The question then arose whether it should be interfered with, and if so, by what means such interference should be brought about.\n\nThere were only two ways by which this could be done: one being by having recourse to compulsory legislation, and the other by the voluntary co-operation of those concerned in the shipping interests of the colony. His Excellency admitted that he did not altogether agree with all the arguments brought forward as proof that it was impossible to diminish Sunday labour in the colony.\n\n### Honorary Members\n\n* ADMIRAL HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH, K.G., K.T., G.C.B.\n* LORD CLAUD J.

        "content_text": "## 12. With regard to the segregating of persons found in infected premises \nit has been the practice in all cases to allow them the option of proceeding to Canton or of being housed in one of the marriage boats. In the majority of instances the former alternative has been readily accepted, only 21 persons being provided with accommodation afloat. On the 26th June the last batch was released.\n\n## DISINFECTION OF HOUSES\n\n13. In respect of the disinfection of houses in which cases of bubonic plague have occurred the provisions of Bye-law No. 25, made under section 13 of Ordinance 15 of 1894, have been rigidly enforced, and every article destroyed that could not be satisfactorily disinfected. In the case of houses in Heung Lane, after fumigation with sulphur and clearing out all the moveable contents, the floors, walls and ceilings were thoroughly saturated with the acid solution of perchloride of mercury as recommended in a Memoranda of the 26th August, 1892, by Dr. R. THORNE THORNE of the Medical Department of the Local Government Board.\n\n14. It will be observed that most of the cases of bubonic plague occurred in No. 6 Health District. Mr. HORE, the District Inspector, is deserving of praise for the painstaking way in which he has discharged a trying and, to say the least, disagreeable duty.\n\n## LATRINE DISINFECTION\n\n15. The addition of Chlorinated Lime to the night-soil in public latrines, which had been discontinued at the end of May, was resumed in the case of the Heung Lane Latrine on the outbreak of bubonic plague in that locality and maintained until all danger of a further development of the disease in the vicinity had disappeared. For failing to comply with the Board's order in this matter and for a breach of one of the latrine bye-laws the keeper was fined $50 by the presiding Magistrate.\n\n## MEZZANINE FLOORS AND CUBICLES\n\n16. The work involved in enforcing compliance with the provisions of sections 7 and 8 of Ordinance 15 of 1894, the controlling of which had been delegated to us as a Select Committee of the Board, made satisfactory progress in the case of the worst class of houses in the City especially in districts Nos. 7 and 8, at the West, and Nos. 1 and 2 at the East end of the city. As, however, the Inspectors in charge of the Central Districts of the city proceeded it became evident that in granting permission for the retention of cocklofts in rooms partitioned into separate compartments the practice hitherto followed of dealing with each case on its merits could not be successfully pursued, and that clearly defined conditions applicable to all cases should be drawn up for the guidance of the Executive.\n\n17. The question as to whether the owner or occupier should be held responsible for complying with the law was also fully considered. In many cases the cocklofts are the property of the tenants; in others they belong to the owner. The Committee therefore decided to adopt the plan that had been found to work so well in the case of the illegal occupation of basements, viz., of serving the notice on both the owner and occupier. The notice on the occupier specified in schedule to our last report was therefore discontinued and a new form, after meeting with the approval of the Attorney General, adopted, (appendix C).\n\n18. The conditions drawn up by the Committee on the subject of cocklofts in buildings erected before and after the passing of `The Closed Houses and Insanitary Dwellings Ordinance (15 of 1894)` which, after submission to and approval by the full Board, were published in the Government Gazette and in the English and Chinese newspapers, will be found embodied in the notifications included in appendix D.\n\n19. Up to date, notices with copies of the Board's conditions attached, to comply with the provisions of sub-section 1 of section 7 and sub-section b of section 8, have been served on the owners and occupiers in the case of 433 cocklofts and cubicles. So far this change of tactics has met with the best results, and it is confidently hoped that within six months all illegal cocklofts will have been removed.\n\n## BASEMENTS\n\n20. A complete list of the basements illegally occupied on the 1st of April, and on the owners and occupiers of which notices have been served, will be found in appendix E. The return does not include the very large number of basements in No. 7 District which were closed during the epidemic of plague last year and which are among the worst in the whole City. Great credit is due to Acting Inspector MACEWEN for the energy he has displayed in preventing their re-occupation as dwellings.\n\n21. Under our joint personal supervision the whole of the basements in districts Nos. 4, 5 and 6, have been inspected at night. In all 244 inspections have been made before, and 140 after, midnight. The District Inspectors, Messrs. BURNETT, REIDIE and HORE, are doing their utmost to prevent their now illegal occupation.\n\n## PERMITS FOR COCKLOFTS AND BASEMENTS\n\n22. In a memo. dated the 9th of July (appendix F) the Committee referred for the consideration of the full Board the question as to whether permits for the retention of cocklofts, under section 7 and for the occupation of basements under section 6, should be granted to the owner or occupier. We are of opinion that the fullest publicity should be given to the fact that the Board has unanimously decided to grant such permits to the landlord only.\n\n## GENERAL REMARKS\n\n23. Although it may appear somewhat hazardous in the case of a disease like the bubonic plague, as to the origin and spread of which so little is known, we think it probable that the Colony has now seen the last of the disease in 1895. The widespread fear that the outbreak in Heung Lane was but the beginning of a formidable epidemic has happily not been realised. Twenty-six cases are known to have occurred; all died. If the particulars specified in appendix B are closely examined it will be found that the later cases the disease showed no signs of abatement in point of virulence. The experience of this year would seem to demonstrate that the disease was nipped in the bud, and an epidemic averted by prompt removal and segregation of the inmates and the disinfection and cleansing of the infected premises. The drastic measures it was deemed necessary to adopt were fully justified by the nature of, and the circumstances attending the outbreak.\n\n24. The question here very naturally arises what are the prospects of a recurrence of the disease in the early spring of next year? A vast improvement in the sanitary condition of the Colony has unquestionably been effected during the last 12 months, but much still remains to be done. In our opinion no measure of sanitary reform calls for more prompt and vigorous action than that of clearing away the obstructions in back-yards and in the back parts of premises so as to provide a suitable and adequate area for the admission of light and air. This has been done already in many houses in the City. In Heung Lane the sanitary character of the houses, in which cases of plague originated, has been completely changed by this simple and by no means costly structural alteration. We submit that no consideration of Departmental economy should be allowed to interfere with the early carrying out of this most desirable reform.\n\nWe have the honour to be,\n\nSir,\n\nYour obedient Servants,\n\n**Appendix A**\n\nWM.

        "content_text": "# \n52 \n\n1888, which states, \"that in the opinion of Lord Knutsford, the arrangements made between the Imperial and Indian Governments in 1866, and the agreement with the Colony in 1871, related to settlements which then had little, if any, importance beyond that derived from local trade. The wonderful change which followed the opening of the Suez Canal was not foreseen, and apparently not realized in 1871. It appears to his Lordship, that in placing a meaning upon the above-mentioned arrangement, regard must be had to circumstances as they existed at the time; and that an agreement relating to the defence of a local port of trade cannot possibly be read as a promise to provide for a coaling station which subsequent and unforeseen events, independent of the local trade, have called into existence for supplying the wants of the Empire.\" \n\nYet, in spite of this clear expression of opinion by the Colonial Office, Lord Ripon, in his despatch to the Governor, of 6th November, 1894, reaffirms the principle that the old agreement of 1866 covers the present claims! \n\n13. In his despatch of 13th December, 1889 (Blue Book C 6290), to the Governor of the Straits Settlements, Lord Knutsford defends the charge of £100,000 per annum, on the ground that it will only amount to 17 per cent. of the revenue, or about 3s. 9d. per head of the population of the Colony; and his Lordship contrasts this with the taxation in the Mother Country, which he states at 8s. 9d. per head of the population, and if the naval charges be added, the payment reaches 15s. 9d. per head. But this comparison is entirely misleading, unless there be also taken into account the respective means of the two populations. An English workman may fairly be credited with earning £62 per annum, while the bulk of the population of the Straits Settlements does not earn over £12 per annum, so that even on the above footing, the relative charge on the colonist of the Straits Settlements is greater than that on our own people in the Mother Country. \n\n14. It is submitted that the Colony has a right to expect that it shall not be subjected to exceptional treatment in comparison with other Crown Colonies, and that the present system under which the claims of the Imperial Government are levied on the simple principle of taking from the Colony all surplus revenue, beyond that which a \"Retrenchment Committee\" has forced down to the barest necessities, shall be abandoned. It is maintained that it is absolutely necessary for its welfare that the contribution to be paid for military services shall be moderate and reasonable; that it shall be a fixed charge, and not as in the present case a charge settled for a quinquennial period when one year has expired and a second year has been entered upon, it being impossible to secure any stability in the public finances or to project and carry forward any important works under such a dilatory and hand-to-mouth system of finance. \n\n15. It is contended on behalf of the Colony that the most satisfactory arrangement would be the payment of a fixed percentage of the revenue in full for all military charges, land, barracks, &c., but in no case to exceed their total cost. And it is believed that the Colony would be willing to pay the percentage which Lord Knutsford, in his despatch to the Governor of 13th December, 1889, put forward as not being \"excessive,\" viz., 17 per cent. \n\n16. It is further contended, and this is not the least important part of its case, that the Colonial Office, being the Trustee for the Colony, has no right to take, for the purposes of the Imperial Government, the revenues of the Colony against the protests of its non-official representatives in Council. The Charter of the Colony gives to the Legislative Council \"full power and authority for the raising and expenditure of the public revenue,\" and it is contended that in this connection the rights of the Colony have been invaded. It follows that if at any time additional taxation is considered necessary, such taxation should not be imposed by orders from Downing Street, but only with the assent of the representatives of the Colony in the Legislative Council. \n\n17. The Colony having done its utmost by representations in the Legislative Council, by petition, by deputations and remonstrances to the Colonial Office, without having received any permanent relief, appeals again to the Commons House of Parliament for redress and justice. \n\n1, WHITTINGTON AVENUE, LONDON, E.C., \n\n24th February, 1895. \n\n**WM.

        "content_text": "## CONDITIONS OF SERVICE IN THE HONG KONG POLICE FORCE\n\nI. No married man will be enlisted, and no married quarters will be provided until after promotion to rank of Sergeant.\n\nII. The pay is $600 per annum, in monthly payments of $50. Note. The exchange value of the dollar is variable. The market rate of exchange is at the present time and the Government will recognize no claim in respect of fluctuations in the value of the dollar.\n\nFor the purpose of paying salary when on leave of absence in England, the dollar will be taken at 4s., and in the case of pension, 3s. 8d.\n\nIII. Full pay will be drawn from the date of embarkation.\n\nIV. A bounty of £15 will be paid on enlistment.\n\nV. Each Officer is allowed to remit home, through the Government, any sum not exceeding his half-pay, but only at the market rate of exchange.\n\nVI. The engagement will be for five years only. Subject to the approval of the Captain Superintendent of Police and of the Colonial Surgeon, a Constable can re-engage for a further term of five years.\n\nVII. At the expiration of each of these terms of five years' service he becomes entitled to a second-class return passage.\n\n(a) And he can apply through the Captain Superintendent of Police for permission to return to the service within a period not exceeding nine months.\n\n(b) Should this application be approved, he will receive half-pay during his absence, and a return passage to the Colony.\n\n(c) On his return he shall be reinstated in his relative position in the force.\n\nVIII. Should he not take leave but remain in the Colony at the expiration of each or either of these two terms of five years' service, he will receive a sum equal to three months' pay of his substantive rank by way of bonus.\n\nIX. Should he be allowed to continue in the force on the completion of his second term of service, he may, on his final retirement, be allowed a pension according to regulations from time to time issued by the Colonial Government with the approval of the Secretary of State. Under the regulations recently issued, no pension will be granted for less than fifteen years' service, nor until the Officer has reached the age of 45 years, except in case of retirement on the ground of ill-health.\n\nX. Should a Constable be compelled to retire through ill-health before ten years, a gratuity of one month's pay for each year's service may be granted.\n\nXI. On joining the service each man has to provide himself with a uniform box, the cost of which is $5.\n\nXII. As a rule, he has to perform 6 hours' duty in each twenty-four hours, generally between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m.; but is liable to be called on for extra service.\n\nXIII. He will have to attend School for one hour each day, four days weekly, until he obtains a Certificate of Competency, without which he cannot obtain promotion in the Force.\n\nXIV. He will also be required to attend drill for half an hour, three or four days a week, until he is passed as efficient.\n\nXV. Each Constable (European) is provided with free quarters, fuel, and light.\n\nXVI. The following are also provided free:--\n\n| Item |\n| --- |\n| Beds and bedding |\n| Summer and winter clothing |\n| Helmets |\n| Great coats |\n| Money in lieu of boots |\n\nXVII. He is provided with table linen, cutlery, glass, crockery ware, and cooking utensils for the sum of $5 entrance fee.\n\nXVIII. He is provided with Medical Attendance free. If absent from duty in hospital through sickness from climate or ordinary causes for a period not exceeding in all three months in any one year, a stoppage of one-third pay is made. After that period, half pay only will be allowed. If, however, his sickness is certified to be the result of his own indiscretion, half pay only will be allowed during the whole time of his absence from duty.\n\nXIX. Extra allowances are granted to Officers who acquire some knowledge of the Chinese language at the rate of $2.50, $5, or $10 per month according to the degree of proficiency attained.\n\n(Sgd) Wm. W.

        "content_text": "18\n\n6. Mr. Campbell-Bannerman, having regard to the subsequent correspondence, has had a fresh list prepared, showing the order of precedence which should be attached to the services. The list includes the hospital.\n\n7. The amount thus revised comes to 211,935l. or 1,338,580 dollars, instead of 174,735l. or 1,103,589 dollars. In this calculation the value of the dollar has been taken at the same rate (3s. 2d.) as in the previous calculations.\n\n8. It is thought to be more convenient to do so, and thus assist comparison with the amounts of the previous programme, than to follow the fluctuations in the value of the dollar; and it may be observed that, although the present exchange value of the dollar is only 2s., the effect of this reduction in the rate, while it increases the charge on account of imported stores, reduces it in respect of local expenditure.\n\n9. By the correspondence between the Treasury and the War Office, subsequent to the War Office letter* of the 27th July, 1893, Hong Kong the proportion payable by the Colony has been revised from one-half of the total to one-third of it. A correction on this account is, therefore, required to the figures given in that letter. These latter resulted as follows, after allowing, in the case of the War Department, for a provision of 35,000l. from the Imperial Defence Loan:—\n\nFor the Colony to find in the eight years 551,794 dollars or 87,367l. The War Department to find in the Annual Estimate 330,742 dollars or 52,367l.\n\n10. The correction to one-third for the Colony and two-thirds for the War Department gives—\n\nFor the Colony to find 367,863 dollars or 58,245l. The War Department to find 514,673 dollars or 81,489l. The total of the two being about 882,536 dollars or 139,734l., i.e., as shown in the letter of the 27th July, 1893, already quoted.\n\n11. To these sums must now be added the respective shares of the cost of the hospital. The estimate for this was made at the same time as those for the rest of the services, and amounted to 37,200l. or 234,947 dollars, giving for the Colony to find 78,315 dollars or 12,400l, and the War Department 156,632 dollars or 24,800l.\n\n12. Adding these sums to the previous totals will give—\n\n19\n\nDollars\n£\n\nPrevious total\n367,863\n58,245\n\nAdd for hospital\n78,315\n12,400\n\nTotals\n446,178\n70,645\n\nPrevious total\n514,673\n81,489\n\nAdd for hospital\n156,632\n24,800\n\nTotals\n671,305\n106,289\n\n13. Mr. Secretary Campbell-Bannerman thinks that, in view of the larger sums involved, the period for execution of the services might fitly be distributed over ten years instead of over eight years, as previously proposed.\n\n14. In the event of their Lordships concurring, the annual provision to be made would respectively be—\n\nThe War Department to provide in Annual Estimates about (apart from the sums chargeable to the loan) 67,131 dollars or 10,629l. (as compared with 64,334 dollars or 10,186l. under the previous arrangement).\n\n15. Of the amount to be found by the Colony, it must be remembered that about one-sixth, i.e., about 1,177l. annually will be for payment in sterling for stores which will probably be necessary to send out from England.\n\n16. In regard to the mode of execution, Mr. Secretary Campbell-Bannerman would suggest that the best course would be for the Colony to provide funds for specific services to the amounts payable,\n\n17. The services to be either executed by the War Department on behalf of the Colony, or by the Colony to the satisfaction of the representative of the Secretary of State for War.\n\n18. I am to solicit their Lordships' sanction for the adoption of the course herein indicated.\n\n19. I am to add that a copy of this letter (with enclosure) has this day been forwarded to the Colonial Office.\n\nWM.

        "content_text": "The Hongkong Government Gazette 12th December 1896.\n\nAs to the question of the abolition of the Gap Rock Light dues, I am distinctly of opinion that they ought to be abolished. They were imposed for a temporary purpose which has been effected, and, more, they have left a considerable credit balance in hand. There should be no tax of any kind on shipping, no matter how slight or for whatever purpose, Hongkong was established as a free port. It has attained its present position because it has been a free port. It can only maintain its position by remaining an entirely and an absolutely free port. The landowners, the merchants, the traders, the professional men, all who are making their livelihood in Hongkong, owe their prosperity to the presence of the shipping. A free port opened on the neighbouring coast would draw away a large portion of our shipping, and the establishment of such a port has been and is now in contemplation. The residents in Hongkong should be willing to pay a \"bonus\" if it were needful to encourage ships and steamers to this port. The Light dues may be a mere trifle in themselves, but in these days of keen competition and careful calculation of expenses they have to be taken into account. It is the principle of freedom I contend for. I cordially support the request of the Chamber of Commerce for the abolition of the Gap Rock Light dues, and I object to the impost of the same dues under another name.\n\nI am not satisfied that it is necessary to substitute some other source of revenue, but if additional taxation is an absolute necessity, there are, it seems to me, other available sources of income. House property, more than any other interest, derives its value from the shipping; the fees for spirit licences might be increased or doubled, and there are considerations arising out of the Opium Farm and opium, and suggestions might be made in connection therewith for raising any required addition to the revenue. Had the question been referred to the Finance Committee of Council within a reasonable period of the date on which the Chamber of Commerce brought it to the notice of Government, there would have been adequate time for its examination and discussion, and the expenditure or economy in the cost of the administration could have been simultaneously considered, but now in the last days of the year the Estimates must be hurried through without delay.\n\nI respectfully protest against this method of bringing forward important questions for debate at the latest possible moment. I further protest against secret confabulations between the unofficial members of Council on public questions, and at the reduction of the debates in Council to a mere pro forma discussion on resolutions already arrived at.\n\nI may be permitted to point out that in the Straits Settlements, with their enormous area and extensive interests, the Government there laid the Estimates for 1897 on the Council table on the 1st of October last.\n\nI have the honour to request that this my protest may be forwarded at your Excellency's earliest convenience to the Right Honourable the Secretary of State for the Colonies.-I have the honour to be, your most obedient servant,\n\n(Signed) T. H. WHITEHEAD.\n\nHis Excellency Sir Wm. Robinson, K.C.M.G., Governor, Hongkong.\n\nExtract from minutes of Meeting of the Legislative Council held on 3rd December 1896.\n\nN.B. The Governor With a view of covering the deficit which will result from this abolition, five of the Unofficial Members are of opinion that a fixed charge of 24 cents per ton should in future be imposed as light dues on all shipping entering the harbour, and in that opinion I concur.",

When it is necessary to buy land from private owners, the rule, in the opinion of the Conference, should be that the War Department should not carry out the purchase itself, but should leave this to the Colonial Government, which possesses special powers of resuming land under a legal ordinance and could probably buy cheaper than the Military authorities.\n\nAs was agreed in the case of the joint scheme (as in War Office letter to Colonial Office dated 24th July 1894), the plans and estimates for new buildings, of which the Colonial Government is to pay a part of the cost, should be submitted to the Governor. The War Office would consider any suggestions made by him, reserving to itself, however, in consultation with the Colonial Office, the decision on any points raised. The Governor should have a similar voice in the selection of sites.\n\nThe Conference desire in conclusion to record their appreciation of the helpful services of Mr. A.H.B.

A special annual charge on the assessed value of the property in the foreign settlements, which, even at one-tenth of 1 per cent., would produce some 33,000 taels per annum.\n\n2. A similar charge on the property, with water frontage on both sides of the river outside the foreign Settlements, but between them and the Yang-tsze.\n\n3. A tax on all shipping entering or leaving the port of Shanghae, Woosung, or any other port on the Whangpoo, in the shape of a surtax on tonnage dues, to be collected at the same time as tonnage dues and by the same methods. This, at 5 candies per ton, making the total charge 45 candies instead of 40 candies, as fixed by Article XXIX of the Treaty between Great Britain and China of 1858, would give an income of 52,500 taels per annum.\n\n4. A charge on all merchandize passed through the Customs at Shanghae, Woosung, and any other port on the Whangpoo in a similar manner to the present wharfage charges, giving at one-tenth of 1 per cent., say, 55,000 taels per annum.\n\n5. An Imperial contribution from the Chinese Government, equal to three-tenths of the tonnage dues collected in Shanghae, would result in some 120,000 taels; it being understood that this proportion of the tonnage dues has for many years past, and still is, a similar diverted from the purpose implied by the Treaties, into alien channels. contribution to be made on all tonnage dues which may be collected at Woosung or any other port on the Whangpoo.\n\n6. The aggregate of these annual receipts would probably be sufficient to enable a constituted authority to raise the necessary capital.\n\n7. As already stated (Article II, section 7), this constituted authority would be the Conservancy Board. Should the annual revenue not be sufficient to provide interest and amortisation for the capital raised for the Conservancy works, the Board to have power to make such increase in the tax on shipping, property, and trade as may be necessary to produce the funds required. Three months notice of such increase to be given to the Consular Body, who, in their turn, shall publicly notify this increase at least one month before it comes into operation.\n\nThe Board shall, within six months of the close of their yearly accounts, furnish the Consular Body with a detailed statement giving full particulars of their management, receipts, and expenditure during the past twelve months. This Report to be subsequently published for general information.\n\nThe Committee of this Chamber trust that the above-suggested Regulations for the constitution of a Conservancy Board will so far meet with the approval of the Consular Body, that they may be able to transmit them to Peking for the consideration of the foreign Representatives, with a strong recommendation for their adoption.\n\n'I have, &c. \n(Signed) WM. D. LITTLE, \nActing Chairman.\n\nJ. M. T. Valdez, Esq., \nConsul-General for Portugal and Senior Consul.",

        "content_text": "Wedd\n\ndependent as it is upon the business incidental to a great shipping port of call. The Governor observes with satisfaction that the Committee of the Chamber of Commerce are prepared to accept cheerfully the increased taxation that will probably be necessary to meet the heavy expenses of contemplated measures for the general improvement of sanitation.\n\nI have the honour to be, Sir,\n\nYour most obedient servant,\n\nT. SERCOMBE SMITH,\n\nActing Colonial Secretary.\n\nTHE SECRETARY,\n\nChamber of Commerce.\n\n31.The foregoing statements prove that the local Government has failed to give effect, save in a very qualified form, to the measures so frequently urged upon it by its own Medical Officers and other experts; its efforts, so far, have met with so little result, indeed, that the Colony is now suffering severely from the annually recurring visitations of plague and, in a lesser degree, of enteric fever and small-pox. The inadequacy of the measures adopted by the local Government in dealing with so grave a crisis may, we submit, be regarded as equivalent to a tacit admission on its part that it is beyond its Power, of its own initiative, to undertake the gigantic task which a thorough and efficient reform of the Sanitary conditions of the Colony, with the heavy expenditure and sacrifices attending it, would involve\n\nThe conviction has consequently been forced upon us that no really effectual measures will be taken to grapple with the Sanitary problems of the Colony and to arrest the progress of disease until an appeal is made to the responsible Minister of State for his intervention. These annual epidemics are pressing acutely on the Commerce and Industries of the Colony, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain labour, whether European or Chinese. This year the Plague has again produced a cessation of Emigration, and the loss to the Shipping and Trade generally through quarantine restrictions and other delays has been very great. Native workmen are leaving Hongkong in thousands, and there is not an important industry or commercial undertaking in the Colony, employing and dependent on Chinese labour, that has not suffered.\n\nUnder the circumstances hereinbefore referred to your Petitioners most humbly Pray that you will be pleased\n\nthis 25th day of June, 1901.\n\n1.-To appoint a Commission consisting of a person or persons wholly unconnected with the Colony to proceed forthwith to Hongkong to investigate and report\n\n(a) On the Sanitary Condition of the Colony; (b) On the measures to be adopted for the improvement of the City of Victoria and of the Colony as it at present exists.\n\n2.That you will be pleased to attach to the said Commission some independent Sanitary Expert to advise.\n\n3. That after receiving and considering the Report of such Commission, you will give directions for the Recommendations of that Commission to be forthwith carried into effect.\n\nT. H. WHITEHEAD, J.P.

        "content_text": "OPENING OF KOWLOON SCHOOL.\n\nThe formal opening of the new Kowloon School, the munificent gift of Mr. Ho Tung, took place on Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock in presence of a company thoroughly representative of the Colony and worthy of the auspicious occasion. His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government, Major-General Sir W. J. Gascoigne, K.C.M.G., presided, and among others present were Lady Gascoigne, Mr. Ho Tung, Mrs. Ho Tung, and the two Misses Ho Tung, Hon. W. Meigh Goodman, K.C., Chief Justice, Hon. Dr. Ho Kai, Hon J. H. Stewart Lockhart and Mr. Stewart Lockhart, Sir Thomas Jackson, Hon. T. H. Whitehead, Hon. R. Murray Rumsey, Hon. C. P. Chater, Commodore Robinson and Mrs. Robinson, Hon. H. W. Trefusis, A.D.C., Rev. T. W. Pearce, Mr. Wm. Parlane, Mr. A. G. Wise, Acting Attorney-General, Mr. and Mrs. C. Ford, Mr. and Mrs. H. P. Tooker, Mr. T. K. Dealy, Mr. T. Sercombe Smith, the Rt. Rev. Bishop Piazzoli, Mr. B. James and Mrs. James, Mr. S. W. Ten, Mr. F. J. Badeley, Mr. R. F. Johnston, Mr. Norton Kysha, Mr. G. J. W. King, Hon. Wei Yuk, Mr. A. J. Raymond, Mr. A. H. Rennie, Mr. G. M. Billings, Messrs. Ho Fook, Ho Kam Tong, Leung Shin Kong, Fung Wah Chun, Lo Koo Ting, Yong Hia Pong, Choa Lap Chi, Wong Kom Fook, Lo Chi Jin, Pang Shan-chun, Sin Takfan, Chan Hewan, Leung Pin Chi, Tso Sin Wan, Lau Chin Ting, and Dr. Wan Tun Mo, Messrs. Lan Wan Kai, Yoen Lai Chuen, Kwok Siu Lan, Wei Lun Shek, Lan Wei Cheung, and Wei Long Shan.\n\nThe preliminary ceremony took place on the grounds outside the school in an enclosure set off with flags of different nationalities. Preparatory to the formal proceedings, a photograph of the company was taken. Afterwards, the Rev. T. W. Pearce opened the proceedings, and said—Your Excellency, ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Ho Tung, the large-hearted, public-spirited donor of the Kowloon School, has done me the honour of asking me to take part in this afternoon's proceedings. Mine is the pleasing duty of saying at the outset, in a few words, which the Inspector of Schools—who is now on his way to Europe on furlough—would have said with more point, and to more good purpose, that your Excellency's presence here to-day, to perform this function of opening the Kowloon School, is highly gratifying to all friends of education in the Colony. To the Kowloon residents, the occasion that brings us together is specially auspicious. They derive much satisfaction from the fact that this building, the foundation stone of which was laid two years ago by Sir Henry Blake, is to be formally opened to-day by your Excellency. There is a phrase of Lord Brougham that has become historic—a phrase that has to do with education—\"Let the soldier be abroad if he will, he can do nothing in this age. There is another personage, a personage less imposing in the eyes of some, perhaps insignificant. The schoolmaster is abroad and I trust him, armed with his primer, against the soldier.\" When we in this Colony link in our thought the soldier with the schoolmaster, it will not be that we may set the one against the other. It will be our pride to remember that so distinguished a soldier\n\nWAS\n\nZ019\n\nso true a friend to the school-master. The school which your Excellency is to receive, on behalf of the Colony, from the hand of Mr. Ho Tung, marks a new departure in the history of education in Hongkong. It is a school to provide education for children of European parentage. The principle on which the school is based is that the plan of instruction must be suited to the station of the pupils, the views of parents, the genius of the children. Nationality, constitution, and inclination alike have been consulted. It is felt to be of the first importance that these children, destined we trust to remain in Hongkong and to occupy useful, it may be superior, stations here, should enjoy such advantages as this school is well-fitted to afford. This, sir, is the principle conceded by the Government, subject to the approval of His Majesty's Secretary of State for the Colonies. It would not be possible in the time allotted to me to trace the history of the movement extending over a number of years that has led up to this Kowloon School. That movement will form a not uninstructive chapter in the story of education in this Colony. It is timely, however, to remind ourselves that right views of education are developed gradually and that methods have to be tested step by step before they can be pronounced sound. When the British flag was first hoisted on this island, education of the kind contemplated in this school scarcely existed in the Homeland. Far-reaching changes and marvellous progress in this science have characterised the last sixty years. It is not too much to say that the whole system of primary education in England has grown up during the last sixty years. There is one point of comparison that suggests itself to me, and it will serve as an illustration of education in Hongkong. As I understand it, the law of England at the time when this Colony became a British possession is the law of Hongkong to-day, with such additions, changes, and omendations as have been found necessary from time to time as years have gone by. The course of education has been analogous. At an early period in the history of Hongkong, certain educational facilities were placed within the reach of all, and the school system established then has been maintained and improved\n\nin a manner creditable for the most part to all concerned in its working, when the many-sided aspects of this question in a cosmopolitan a community are kept in view. Its advance has not been so rapid as some have thought to be desirable and practicable, the fact is due to conditions which rendered the problem peculiarly intricate. We believe the present school to be thoroughly up to date, both as regards the building itself and the instruction to be carried on within it; and we shall all watch with keen sympathetic interest the work of education on these new lines. Your Excellency, according to the request of the Government to make this a school for European children only, Mr. Ho Tung has put himself by imagination and sympathy in the place of a section of the community to which he does not himself belong. In doing so, he has, I think, set an example of broad-minded liberality which we shall do well to imitate. It is seemly and fitting that I make this acknowledgment. If Mr. Ho Tung consents that his school be for European children on condition that the Government builds at Yaumati a similar school for Chinese children, he does something to unite two sections of this community in good-will and kindly relations which I trust we shall all do our best to maintain. Education is a sphere where such relations can be cultivated to advantage. Let us say ungrudgingly and unhesitatingly that we will do our best for the education\n\nWe\n\nof all, under the best conditions, even if like Mr. Ho Tung we have to give up something in order to accomplish our purpose. There\n\n106",

        "content_text": "6. Your Petitioners submit that in order to effectually secure the object they have in view it is necessary directly to prohibit Chinese, other than servants, from occupying houses built in the Hill District, and further that, in imposing this limitation of residence, no hardship would be inflicted on the Chinese for hitherto they have shown no desire to occupy houses in that district and, as they are living here in their native climate, they do not suffer from the oppressive heat of the lower levels during the summer months as Europeans do. To show how pressing is the need amongst the European section of the community for securing dwellings at the Peak, your Petitioners may mention that the rent of houses there is on the average nearly treble that which was paid ten years ago and this notwithstanding the fact that the number of houses has very greatly increased in the interval.\n\n7. The extension of the principle of Ordinance 16 of 1888 for which your Petitioners ask is not very great and their request for this reservation is made solely out of regard for the welfare of those who belong to non-tropical countries and who are now compelled to live in this enervating climate for the best part of their lives. It was the European section of the community that opened up and developed the Hill District. They were impelled to do so by considerations of health alone for the locality is more expensive and less convenient to live in than the lower levels. The number of reasonably available sites for houses in the Peak District is limited. Already the large majority have been built upon and very few remain for additional houses. Your Petitioners desire that this small proportion of Hongkong shall be reserved as a place of abode for those who cannot dwell in equal well-being elsewhere upon the Island, and they submit it is for the advantage of a community as a whole that each section of it should live in the environment to which it is best adapted.\n\n8. In conclusion, your Petitioners submit that the future welfare of this Colony, the welfare, that is, of its inhabitants as a whole, and its consequent value to the Empire, depends to a very large extent on the well-being of the European section of the community whose health it is therefore essential to preserve, and that every year conditions render it more and more important that this section should be able to reside in a district where its members can live under the most favourable conditions possible and where the rising generation may spend their childhood amidst the healthiest obtainable surroundings.\n\nYour Petitioners therefore humbly pray that your Excellency may be pleased to consider favourably their request and to take prompt steps to preserve the Hill District as a residential quarter for the non-Chinese residents of the community.\n\nAnd your Petitioners will ever pray, etc.\n\nDated 22nd day of February, 1904.\n\nJ.

We shipmasters are often in a position where our time is very limited and but for your courtesy, promptness and ability in doing your work, the ships would have costly delay.\n\nI rese copy\n\nYours truly\n\n(Signed) A.

I happen to be the Chairman of the Committee and Rev. Dr. Paton and W. Gilbert Walshe, M.A., its Honorary Secretaries.\n\nLast Friday we received a letter from the well-known and much esteemed missionary, Rev. Dr. Timothy Richard, of Shanghae, dated the 14th January last. As it contains some rather alarming statements of the anti-foreign feeling in China, I feel that it may be my duty to inclose a copy for your perusal.\n\nI should be glad to have, if possible, a private and unofficial interview at an early date with you as to the present alleged anti-foreign attitude in China, and as to the proposed visit of the aforesaid Commission to China.\n\nI am, &c.\n\n(Signed)  \n**FRANCIS WM.

That a deposit should be required from companies desirous of doing business out here and registered in Hongkong is unquestionably a wise measure and I should be inclined to advocate the amount being increased at the outset and held on trust for all policy holders. The retention by the Government of a definite sum is a proof to the public of the bona fides of the company at the outset and a guarantee that it will comply with the requirements of the Government in the way of returns and full publicity of its methods. After that let the Government reserve to itself the right to call for a special investigation into the affairs of any company whose position or methods it deems unsatisfactory and on its being satisfied that the company is really insolvent the Court should endeavour to have its contracts transferred to a stronger office with as little loss as possible to the policy holders and only in the last resort should it issue a winding up order.\n\nFor the rest let the Government confine itself to insisting upon every company furnishing the fullest particulars of its business, its methods, and its tables, in forms prescribed by the authorities (and in this connection the Schedules prescribed by the Ordinance are capable of several improvements), and let these be published with as little delay as possible. (The returns to the Board of Trade as prescribed by the `1870 Act` are often 18 months old before being made public — a delay that seriously diminishes their value). If those steps be taken the public has in my opinion little to fear and is amply safeguarded, while the Government is freed from a lot of unnecessary trouble and the companies are given freedom of action and enabled to prosecute their good work unhampered by arbitrary restrictions, but are made dependent for their success upon the wisdom and prudence and responsibility.",

        "content_text": "2\n\nHsinmintun-Takumen Railway to the dean of the Diplomatic Body at Peking, owing to the objection made by the Japanese Vice-Consul.\n\nSir,\n\nam, &c.\n\n(Signed) TH. E. HEENAN,\n\nConsul-General and dean of the Consular Corps.\n\nInclosure 4 in No. 1.\n\nNewchwang General Chamber of Commerce to Mr. Heenan.\n\nNewchwang, March 16, 1908.\n\nI HAVE the honour to bring to your notice, for submission to the honourable Consular Body, the following Resolution unanimously adopted by a meeting of this Chamber held on the 13th instant-\n\nResolution:\n\n\"The Newchwang General Chamber of Commerce, being convinced that the extension of the Imperial Railways of North China from Hsinmintun to Fakumen and beyond is vitally important to the development and prosperity of Manchurian trade, strongly protests against the steps now being taken by the Government of Japan to enforce the abandonment of this extension, Japan having specifically undertaken in the Treaty of Portsmouth not to obstruct any general measures common to all countries which China may take for the development of commerce and industry in Manchuria.'\"\n\nIn submitting this Resolution, I beg to state the grounds upon which the views expressed therein have been arrived at, viz:-\n\n1. The line of the proposed Hsinmintun-Fakumen Railway, at its nearest point of convergence, namely at Fakumen itself, a flourishing township of some 40,000 inhabitants, is 35 miles distant from the existing system of the South Manchurian Railway, and separated therefrom by the River Liao, an important waterway, itself constituting a natural traffic boundary between the existing, and proposed, railway systems.\n\n2. The trade of Fakumen, and of its hinterland, has always found its natural outlet to, and through, the larger town of Hsinmintun, a trade centre of growing importance, by way of the Koupangtzu-Hsinmintun line of the Imperial Railways of North China, to the seaboard at Newchwang, Chinwangtao, &c. It has never gone eastward towards the townships and districts operated by the South Manchurian Railway, and therefore there are no grounds for Japan's contention that the proposed line, which will cater only for the trade of these regions, must be competitive with, and detrimental to, the interests of the Japanese line.\n\n3. The proposed line has for its primary and sole objective the development of that vast region of fertile country, holding boundless commercial potentialities, stretching west and north-west of the Liao River, the reclamation and colonization of which has now for several years, and already with marked success, been fostered in every way by the paternal Government, and in this most beneficial scheme of development the proposed railway is an absolutely essential and vital factor, as these regions being poor in natural facilities such as navigable waterways, by no other means, excepting only the construction of branch lines westward from the South Manchuria Railway system, can this development be assisted and promoted. Such branch lines, if constructed, could not be as efficient and economical agents of this development as the direct line proposed, and would necessarily do incalculable injury to the prospects and trade of the port of Newchwang, which is the natural outlet and distributing base for the country in question, by diverting from it to Dalny its legitimate trade.\n\n4. Assuming that Japan, as is alleged, obtained from China in a subsidiary Treaty the undertaking, \"not to construct, prior to the recovery by them (China) of the said (South Manchuria) Railway any line in the neighbourhood of, and parallel to, that railway, or any branch line which might be detrimental to the interests of the South Manchuria Railway, &c.\"\n\nThe Committee of this Chamber submits-\n\n(a.) That the country to be operated by the proposed line cannot be considered to be \"in the neighbourhood\" of the South Manchuria Railway;\n\n3\n\n(b.) That, as already demonstrated, it neither will nor can be competitive with, or in any way detrimental to, the interests of the South Manchuria Railway;\n\n(c.) That in no country in the world, of similar population and topography, could, or would, the vested trade interests or sphere of an existing railway system be held to include so extensive an area as to preclude the construction of other lines, even though competitive (if in the commercial sense that were possible), outside of a 35-mile limit;\n\n(d.) That Japan, having in Article IV of the Portsmouth Treaty pledged herself- \"Not to obstruct any general measures, common to all countries, which China may take for the development of commerce and industry in Manchuria, &c.\" Her action, in exacting and receiving from China an undertaking such as is alleged, which is diametrically opposed in principle and practice to the pledge she had herself given to the world Powers, must be considered to have been ultra vires, and, therefore, the said undertaking by China to be null and void and of no effect.\n\n5. If, however, we assume further the validity of the said undertaking by China, it still remains to be urged that such undertaking manifestly could not have application or reference to this territory westerly from the River Liao, which, at the time of the recent Russo-Japanese War, was by China specifically proclaimed, and by the late belligerent Powers officially recognized to be neutral territory outside the area of hostilities, and therefore outside also of the political sphere of Treaty, negotiation, or engagement, wherein China's sovereign rights remained unquestioned and unimpaired. Obviously her intention in such undertaking could only have reference to action within the area which furnished the cause of the late war, and became the territory which formed the subject of Treaty, and therefore such undertaking cannot constitute any bar or obstacle to the construction of the proposed Hsinmintun-Fakumen Railway.\n\nOn all these grounds, therefore, in the opinion of the Committee of this Chamber, the attitude of Japan in relation to the proposed railway is as indefensible as it is directly opposed to the principle of \"equal opportunity for all\" and even a menace to the integrity of China, and, therefore, in the commercial interests of this port in particular, and of Manchuria generally, I have the honour to petition your honourable body to transmit to the dean of the Diplomatic Corps in Peking a copy of this despatch to the end that such steps may be [taken as are] deemed best for the preservation and promotion of those interests.\n\nIn conclusion, I have the honour to inform you that the Committee of this Chamber regard the question at issue of such vital and far-reaching public importance that it intends by every means available to give publicity to the views herein expressed, and to that end proposes communicating the substance of these representations to the various Chambers of Commerce and kindred Associations and to the leading press of China, Europe, and America.\n\n(Signed) WM. FORD, Chairman.\n\n663\n\n1",

This course was approved by the Acting Attorney-General Leach and sanctioned by the Governor, and the agreements were signed by Chu Chuen on 19th December, 1889.\n\nChu Chuen settled with Mr. Stephens who dropped out of the dispute.\n\nAt that time it was considered doubtful whether back Section holders had rights or not to share in the reclamation, and it was presumably the intention of the Government to let Chu Chuen and Yiu Chow settle the matter between themselves either amicably or in a Court of Law.\n\nUnfortunately the claimants could not settle amicably, and both died leaving the matter unsettled.\n\nChu Ping is now the representative of Chu Chuen, and Chan Ut Chiu and Pun Kon Shan have acquired all Yiu Chow's rights. Messrs. Johnson, Stokes and Master act for Chu Ping and Messrs. Ewens and Harston for the others.\n\nIn 1903 Chu Ping was let into possession of the whole of the Reclamation upon his giving a similar undertaking to that given by Chu Chuen in 1889: and in the same year Chan and Pun brought an action against Chu Ping claiming (in effect) a declaration that Chu Ping was a trustee for them of the Reclamation opposite Sections B and D.\n\nThe Chief Justice (Goodman) decided in favour of Chan Ut Chiu and Pun Kon Shan and on Appeal Sir Wm. Goodman...",

D. Siffert, Consul-General for Belgium and Doyen of the Consular Body at Shanghai, for transmission by telegram to the Foreign Ministers at Peking, in connection with the critical state of the opium trade in China, brought about by the Chekiang authorities having prohibited, since February last, the importation of and trade in Indian opium, in absolute contravention of existing treaties, causing an accumulation of stocks in Shanghai and heavy depreciation in their value. In financing and making advances on shipments of opium from India to China in the ordinary course of business this bank provided for the ordinary market risks, and placed full reliance on the British Government seeing that the Chinese Government duly fulfilled its obligations in the matter of international treaties and agreements.\n\nWe are advised that while prohibiting the trade in Indian opium it is a matter of common knowledge that the Chekiang authorities have allowed the cultivation of the native drug in that province to continue unabated, and that it is sold freely in the Shanghai market.\n\nWe understand that the foregoing facts have already been brought to the notice of His Majesty's Minister at Peking by the opium merchants, and that as the result of his representations the Peking Government, while expressing their desire to adhere to the treaties and agreements of the former Governments of China, declare their inability to impose their wishes on the Chekiang province.\n\nThe foreign banks at Shanghai recognise the difficulties of the Peking Government in providing protection for foreign trade in distant parts of the republic, but they fail to see how it can be seriously contended that the Peking Government is unable to exact obedience to its wishes in a province so easily accessible as Chekiang. They therefore respectfully asked the Consular Body to transmit their protest to their respective Ministers at Peking, and to request the Ministers to protect their interests either by insisting on the Government enforcing the adherence of the Chekiang province to existing treaties and agreements, or by obtaining a promise from the Central Government to make good any losses the banks may sustain by the illegal interference with legitimate trade by the Chekiang authorities.\n\nMy directors rely upon the British Government taking the necessary steps to protect this bank's interests.\n\nI am desired to add that the foreign exchange banks at Shanghai who have signed the protest represent Great Britain, Germany, France, Russia, America, Belgium, Holland, and Japan.\n\nI am, &c.\n\nWM. NOGGAN.\n\nSir,\n\nLetter addressed to the Senior Consul.\n\nShanghai, June 15, 1912.\n\nTHE undersigned banks have the honour to draw the attention of the Consular Body to the critical state of the opium trade. For many years past it has been the custom of the different banks to finance shipments of opium from India to this port, and in the ordinary course of business to make advances on the same when it has been stored here waiting sale.\n\nIn making such advances they have provided for the ordinary market risks, but have depended on the Chinese Government fulfilling its obligations in the matter of international treaties and agreements.\n\n[2549 n-1]",

It will be noted that the Farmer's drawings exceed 900 chests during the year but for the purposes of this calculation, not the calendar year, but that from 1st March to 28th February is taken.\n\n3. The increase in the Farmer's sales is probably due to a general knowledge that the possibility of obtaining opium for smuggling purposes would to a great extent cease with the expiration of the present farm on 28th February.\n\n4. Government Notifications 254, 255, and 256 amend certain regulations dealing with the Opium Farm. No. 254 makes the Farmer report the issue of licences under section 25 to the Superintendent of Imports and Exports, and Nos. 255 and 256 make slight alterations improving the control of the sale of prepared opium by the Farmer. Government Notification 285 adds Australia to the list of countries prohibiting the import of prepared opium. With Canada, it appears to have been previously omitted. Nevertheless, no export to these countries has been permitted.\n\nThe Right Honourable  \nLEWIS HARCOURT, M.P.,  \n&c., &c., &c.\n\n### Marginalia and File References\n\nthe new farm actor calendar year.

Her scholarship was further attested by her being awarded the as follows: Higher English, Higher Leaving Certificate endorsed Higher Latin, Higher French, Higher German, Higher Mathematics, Drawing and Science. She was our \"Dux\" Medallist in 1903.\n\nAs a pupil teacher in this school she very soon developed in a marked degree those qualities which make for success in the Art of Teaching. Her fine presence, her style, her power to control and also to conciliate her pupils, enabled her to manage with much success in higher, as well as in elementary subjects, large classes.\n\nHer moral character is beyond question. She possesses all the instincts of a lady, fortified by an excellent home training, which, I am sure, will enable her to exercise great moral influence upon her pupils.\n\nI can, with the utmost confidence and sincerity, recommend her,\n\n(Signed) WM.

She had charge of the First Year's H.G. Classes for English, Latin, History, Geography, and Mathematics, and her work was done exceedingly well.\n\nMiss HENDERSON is a young lady of much grit, great energy, and true enthusiasm. She spares no pains to promote the welfare of her pupils. She is an excellent disciplinarian. As a result of these qualities her work has at all times given me the highest satisfaction and has proved what I believed of her as a pupil-teacher, that she would develop into a teacher of the very first rank.\n\n(Signed) WM.

        "content_text": "THE CHUNG SAU NAM EXTRADITION CASE.\n\nJUDGMENT OF THE FULL COURT.\n\nAt the Full Court yesterday the Chief Justice, Sir Wm. Rees Davies, K.C., who sat with Mr. H. H. J. Gompertz (Puisne Judge), gave judgment in the motion heard by the Full Court in connection with the alleged embezzlement of $150,000, the property of the Kwangtung Government, by Chung Sau Nam.\n\nSir Francis Piggott, along with Mr. Alabaster (instructed by Mr. W. B. Hind and Mr. G. K. Hall Brutton), made application for a writ of Habeas Corpus, arising out of the Magistrate's decision in connection with the trial, and the application was opposed for the Crown by Mr. E. H. Sharp, K.C., Mr. Eldon Potter, and Mr. F. C. Jenkin (instructed by Mr. R. F. C. Master, of Messrs. Johnson, Stokes & Master).\n\nHis Lordship the Chief Justice delivered the following judgment:—\n\nIn the matter of Chung Sau Nam, a person detained in Victoria Gaol. These proceedings in Habeas Corpus are directed against a committal by a Police Magistrate of this Colony of the fugitive criminal for extradition under Section 10 of the Chinese Extradition Ordinance 1889. That Section is based on Section 10 of the Extradition Act of 1870.\n\nBefore coming to the facts, it is desirable to state the position of this Court in relation to the decision of the Magistrate under the Section nominated. There are abundant authorities to show that this Court is not a Court of Appeal from the Magistrate's decision on the evidence. The Court can only on an application for Habeas Corpus entertain the question of the jurisdiction of the Magistrate to commit, namely, whether the crime is an extradition crime or whether it is of a political character and whether there was any evidence upon which the Magistrate can commit (ex parte Siletti 18 T.L.R., 771, and see also R. v. Guerin, 60 L.T. 535; Buyuet, 29 L.T., 41; R. v. Maurer, 10 Q.B.D., 513; In re Arton, 1896, 1 Q.B., at 518).\n\nThe fugitive at the time of the alleged offences was superintendent (\"Kam Li\") of the Canton Treasury and Chan Kwing-ming was then Governor-General (Tutuh). On 4th August the Tutuh issued an order in Chinese under his signature addressed to the Commissioner of Finance, Treasury, the translation of which is as follows:-\n\n\"Please at once pay in foreign notes two hundred and fifty thousand dollars and remit to Shanghai to be sent in turn to Nanking to be used as Military expenditure. This is the order.\"\n\nThis order was received by the fugitive, Chung Sau Nam, was brought by him to the Treasury and $150,000 was paid to him and his receipt and seal or chop affixed to the order. There was also a paying-out slip made out by an official of the Treasury which was sealed or chopped by the fugitive. The reason for the order being honoured to the extent of $150,000 and not $250,000 is that there was not sufficient money in the Treasury to meet it. The payment was made by two cheques, one on the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank at Canton for $100,000 and the other for $50,000 on the International Bank at Canton. It appears, then, from the affidavit of the fugitive dated 18th October, 1919, and made in a civil action pending, that he subsequently obtained drafts on Hongkong and International Bank in Shanghai for the two sums of money from branches of the two Banks.",

        "content_text": "# Traustation.\n\n563\n\nUnter allen Umständen bedarf es eines Neu-Aufbaues von Grund auf und verzweifelter Anstrengungen unter wesentlich erschwerten Verhältnissen in der Zukunft, weil die englische Konkurrenz nur um so schöner sein wird, und außerdem eine rührige und natürlich begünstigte Konkurrenz der Japaner Nutzen aus der gegenwärtigen Kalamität der Deutschen dauernd zu ziehen wissen wird.\n\n## Schadenersatz-Ansprüche\n\nAus diesen Gründen ergibt es sich, dass die deutschen Firmen gezwungen sind, um den weitgehndsten Schutz und finanzielle Entschädigung durch die Kaiserliche Regierung zu bitten.\n\nWir beantragen deshalb, dass uns nicht nur die erlittenen schon aufgeführten Verluste vergütet werden, sondern dass uns außerdem als Entschädigung für unsere vernichtete Existenz und das vernichtete Geschäft der Wert des letzteren wenigstens teilweise erstattet wird, und wir bitten, diese unsere Forderung bei der Festsetzung der Kriegsentschädigung zu berücksichtigen.\n\nWir bemessen den Wert unserer Geschäfte, die durch den wirtschaftlichen Krieg Englands gegen uns zerstört worden sind, nach bescheidenster Schätzung auf den Kapitalwert des Durchschnittnutzens der letzten 10 Jahre. Zu der in Hongkong üblichen Zinsrate von 6% p. a. berechnet, ergibt das ungefähr das Siebzehnfache des durchschnittlichen Jahresgewinnes.\n\nWir müssen nochmals den Ernst der Lage hervorheben, und wir können der Kaiserlichen Regierung die Dringlichkeit und Notwendigkeit solcher Entschädigung nicht nachdrücklich genug vor Augen führen.\n\n**Berblinger & Co**,  \n**Carl Böcker & Co.**  \n**K.

Against the deportation and unlawful internment of the Germans of Hongkong. According to the wording of the banishment is for good.\n\n(2). Against the very great severity of the measures adopted towards the German firms in their commercial as well as their private capacity, to wit:\n\n| Measure | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| (a) | The compulsory liquidation as such |\n| (b) | The manner thereof and especially in that English competitors have been forced on us as liquidators and we were explicitly not allowed to place the liquidation according to our own choice in the hands of trustworthy persons of British or neutral nationality. |\n| (c) | The powers of the liquidators which go so far as to require all books, deeds, correspondence, cable ciphers, balance sheets of previous years etc. to be at their disposal on demand, even if they are not directly necessary for purposes of liquidation. |\n\nConsequently, our English competitors...\n\nPage 570  \nPage 571",

En outre, le 3ème alinéa de l'art. 24 permet aux Puissances Contractantes de s'entendre après ratification sur la date de l'entrée en vigueur des dites mesures législatives. D'ailleurs, on ne peut s'empêcher de faire remarquer que les difficultés prévues par l'Autriche-Hongrie, la Norvège et la Suède, en ce qui concerne leur législation, n'étaient pas inconnues aux Délégués des Puissances Signataires et ont même fait l'objet d'un examen approfondi de la part des 12 Puissances Contractantes. Presque toutes les Puissances Signataires se trouvent dans la même situation que les Gouvernements susmentionnés et n'ont pas encore élaboré tous les projets de lois prévus par la Convention;\n\n2o) émet le voeu que le Gouvernement des Pays-Bas veuille bien communiquer aux Gouvernements de la Bulgarie, de la Grèce, du Monténégro, du Pérou, de la Roumanie, de la Serbie, de la Turquie et de l'Uruguay la résolution suivante:\n\n\"La Conférence regrette que certains Gouvernements aient refusé ou omis de signer jusqu'à présent la Convention. La Conférence est d'avis que l'abstention de ces Puissances entravait de la façon la plus sérieuse les buts humanitaires poursuivis par la Convention. La Conférence exprime le ferme espoir que ces Puissances reviendront sur leur attitude ou négative ou dilatoire;\"\n\n3.) émet le voeu que le Gouvernement des Pays-Bas veuille bien faire observer au Gouvernement helvétique qu'il est dans l'erreur en considérant sa coopération comme d'une valeur à peu près nulle. A l'encontre de ce qui est dit dans la lettre du Conseil Fédéral du 25 octobre 1912, la Conférence estime que la coopération de la Suisse serait de l'effet le plus utile tandis que son abstention compromettrait les résultats de la Convention. Quant à la question soulevée par le Conseil Fédéral concernant les attributions respectives des législations fédérales et cantonales, il est à noter que de semblables difficultés ont été déjà envisagées par la Première Conférence qui en a tenu compte dans la rédaction de la Convention;\n\n4o.) invite les Gouvernements Signataires à charger leurs Représentants à l'étranger d'appuyer les démarches susindiquées de leurs collègues néerlandais;\n\nIII. a émis le voeu suivant: que dans le cas où la signature de toutes les Puissances invitées en vertu du paragraphe 1 de l'article 23\n\n21\n\n435\n\nn'aurait pas été obtenue à la date du 31 décembre 1913, le Gouvernement des Pays-Bas invite immédiatement les Puissances Signataires à désigner des Délégués pour procéder à La Haye à l'examen de la possibilité de faire entrer en vigueur la Convention internationale de l'Opium du 23 janvier 1912.\n\nEn foi de quoi, les Délégués ont revêtu le présent Protocole de leurs signatures,\n\nFait à La Haye, le neuf juillet mil neuf cent treize en un seul exemplaire, qui restera déposé dans les archives du Gouvernement des Pays-Bas et dont des copies, certifiées conformes, seront remises par la voie diplomatique à toutes les Puissances tant Signataires que non Signataires.\n\nPour l'Allemagne.\nF.

Steam Navigation Company, 122, Leadenhall-street, EC, on last inst. Mr. F. Anderson (Chairman of Committee) presided, and there were also present: Sir W. C. Hillier, K.C.M.G., C.B., Sir A. Dent, K.C.M.G., Messrs. F. J. Abbott, F. Allen, John C. Bois, Byron Brenan, C.M.G., E. J. Carrol, Ed. Cousins, Geo. B. Dodwell, A. J. Garfit, J. C. Hatson, Wm. Harwood, J. S. Haskell, Edgar J.

Wood, and the Secretary (Mr. H. C. Wilcox).\n\nThe Chairman said: The report has been circulated to members in advance. I need not therefore do more than refer to it in general terms. I would explain that our annual meeting is about a month later than usual this year, mainly owing to our secretary, Mr. Wilcox, having had to carry on the work of his office single-handed. We have given leave of absence for service in the Army to his assistant, Mr. Lambert. Notwithstanding the terrible struggle in which this country is engaged so close to our own doors, events in the Far East have by no means passed unnoticed. Whilst Western countries over an immense area are being shaken to their very foundations, China has had to deal with serious problems of her own, both internal and external. From time to time situations have arisen which might have resulted in disaster had weakness and irresolution been shown in dealing with them, but the discretion and ability with which her Government acted under trying conditions have enhanced its prestige, and have done much to inspire confidence in the present Chinese administration.\n\nIt should be borne in mind that only a year ago the Government had not suppressed the notorious White Wolf; disorder was widespread in many provinces—a kind of aftermath of the revolution; intrigue and conspiracy were rife in the capital, many of the Provincial Governments hampered the Central Authority by obstructive tactics and by withholding supplies, whilst foreign relations in certain quarters were becoming complicated. In weak hands the affairs of the country would in all probability have drifted into chaos. Now whether it is true or not in ordinary times that \"in the multitude of counsellors there is wisdom,\" experience has shown once more, and not only in China, that at a time of national crisis it is essential for the welfare of the State to concentrate power in the hands of one national central authority.\n\nThe great mass of the people of China quickly realised that patriotism and common sense alike demanded that they should support the government of Yuan Shih-kai if disaster were to be averted, and the course of events has justified the wisdom of their decision. Disorder has been suppressed, legislation on conservative lines has been enacted, the authority of Peking over the Provinces has been re-established, judicious fiscal reforms have been inaugurated, and the first step towards the establishment of a permanent constitution has been taken in the promulgation of what is known as \"The Constitutional Compact\"—a translation of which interesting and important document will be found in the report.\n\nEvidence of the confidence inspired by the Administration may be seen in the fact that two internal loans have been successfully floated in China at a time when the money markets of the Western world have been practically closed owing to the war. Concurrently with all this the foreign affairs of the country have been so handled that the danger of complications arising has been minimised, and, we hope, will be entirely averted.\n\nIn the past year statesmen all over the world have had to bear a heavy burden of responsibility. The President of the Chinese Republic has been no exception to the general rule—few men in the whole world have had a more difficult and onerous role to fill, or have shown greater sagacity in dealing with difficulties.\n\nTHE JAPANESE DEMANDS.\n\nWe have referred in the report to the Japanese claims on China, which at one time gave rise to some uneasiness in this country owing to circumstantial reports appearing in the Press of the far-reaching character of some of the demands. British subjects both here and in the East, being friends of both countries, learnt with great satisfaction of the conclusion of an agreement between the two Governments. It is true that certain points are reserved for future discussion, but there is good reason to believe that Japan is well aware of the importance of the principles laid down in her Treaties, and that in any future discussion she will not depart from the policy she has repeatedly declared it her intention to uphold.\n\nAt the siege of Kiao-chow Japan gave a much-needed lesson in chivalry and humanity to Germany when she gave ample time and opportunity for the women and children and non-combatants to leave the fortress before beginning the bombardment, and I think we may rely upon Japan maintaining the highest standard of honour in regard to any engagements to which she has attached her signature.\n\nMembers will have been glad to learn that the long outstanding question of Shanghai Settlement Extension has at last been satisfactorily dealt with. Every friend of China hopes that the arrangement will result in the total disappearance of the friction which has so often prevailed in the relations between the municipality and the local Chinese authorities. The Chinese are as deeply interested as foreigners in the prosperity of Shanghai, and they have now an opportunity of working together in friendly co-operation for the general welfare which may prove invaluable, if they will only take advantage of it in the right spirit.\n\nYou will notice in the Appendix a lengthy correspondence on the subject of trading with the enemy—a matter which is still under discussion. The Committee believe that in taking it up they have the support not only of all British subjects in China, but that an overwhelming majority in this country of those who have considered the question also agree with them.\n\nApart altogether from German hatred of England, apart from German fiendish brutality in war, from the fact that it has been necessary to expel Germans from Singapore and Hongkong, apart from the virulent and mischievous propaganda they have carried on against us in China, from the fact that German merchants at Shanghai have collectively resolved to do everything in their power to injure British interests in China, from pitiable incidents like their celebration in Tientsin of the sinking of the Lusitania carried on until 6 o'clock in the morning, and, apart from the natural repugnance to having any dealings with enemies of our country, we think it is a bad policy in our own interest to help Germans to maintain their commercial position in China, as we have been doing for the last ten months.\n\nThe Board of Trade has expressed the opinion that in the national interest it is undesirable that British subjects should trade with Germans in China during the war. The Prize Court at Alexandria has decided that as Germans in China are only amenable to German law, they cannot claim a neutral domicile in that country, but are in the same legal position as Germans resident in German territory. Yet under the Trading with the Enemy Act, British subjects are not only permitted, but the declared undesirability notwithstanding, they are almost encouraged to trade with German firms in China, on the plea that a German is not an enemy if he lives outside German territory. Germans have gone so far in the past as to claim that their concessions in China are German territory, but our law ignores their claim.\n\nFOR AND AGAINST TRADING WITH GERMANS IN CHINA.\n\nThe arguments in favour of permitting trading with alien enemies in China are mainly (1) That our Allies have not prohibited their nationals from trading with Germans; (2) That German trade marks on British goods would lose their value if they were withdrawn from the Chinese markets, and that therefore British goods shipped under those German marks would lose their market; (3) that the same volume of trade with China could not be carried on if German firms were prohibited from getting supplies in England, as British firms alone could not overtake the whole British trade with China.\n\nAs regards our Allies not co-operating, the Committee at first agreed that this might be a disadvantage to some British shipping and banking interests, but of late freights have advanced enormously, and there has been more difficulty in getting ships to carry the cargo than in getting cargo to fill the ships, so that this objection no longer has the same weight that it formerly may have had. Further, we notice that France has recently prohibited trading with the enemy in China. The French have no doubt about Germans out there being enemies.\n\nAs to other reasons, it may be quite true that German trade marks would lose their value if withdrawn from the Chinese market; but if buyers in China could not get British goods under German trade marks they would soon get the goods they wanted under British marks. From the strong representation made by all our branches in China, we are quite satisfied that there is no sound foundation for the statement that British firms are not capable of overtaking the whole British trade with China without the participation in it of German firms. There would, perhaps, be some change in the method of carrying on the trade, but it would be a healthy change, and one beneficial to British interests generally in China.\n\nQuite recently some very remarkable and interesting information has been received about the way in which the German trade is conducted in China, but the information has not been thoroughly investigated, and I am unable to lay it before you to-day. The Committee will follow the matter up, and perhaps at some later date will be able to communicate further information on the subject to you. The Committee hope that in the light of later information the present Government may see their way to take more whole-hearted action in connection with trading with the enemy in China than appeared advisable to their predecessors.\n\nYou will see in the report that we have taken a hand in correcting the misrepresentations spread in China by our enemies, and we hope the Chinese translation of our pamphlet will be widely circulated. Before concluding I would offer our condolence to those of our members at home and in China who have suffered irreparable losses and have to endure prolonged anxiety from this terrible war. Some of our number have been called upon to make the heaviest sacrifices, and I hope it may be some little consolation to those in far distant China to know that their old friends at home feel deep and heartfelt sympathy with them.\n\nWith these few remarks I beg to propose that the report and accounts be received and adopted. (Applause.)\n\nMr. G. B. Dodwell seconded the motion, which was carried.\n\nMEMBERS' QUESTIONS.\n\nThe Chairman intimating that he would be pleased to answer any questions, Mr. Hanson asked whether the Chairman could assure the members present that none of those unpatriotic British firms who were trading with Germans in China were represented on the General Committee to be elected.\n\nMr. H. Salinger remarked that the Government had already expressed the opinion that it was undesirable to trade with the enemy, and he thought this was the general wish of the Association and the commercial communities trading with China. If traders were not sufficiently patriotic to take note of this opinion, he urged the Committee to bring stronger pressure to bear upon the Government to prohibit all trading with Germans in China.\n\nMr. F. G. Sale inquired if the Committee had any information as to the attitude of the Japanese Government in this matter.\n\nReplying to these questions, the Chairman said with regard to Mr. Hanson's query that the Committee did not know of any of their members who were trading with Germans, and they hoped sincerely that none of them were. In reply to Mr. Salinger's remarks, he said that they had done all they could to bring the matter to the notice of the Foreign Office, and a small deputation had attended a meeting at the Board of Trade at which this question was exhaustively discussed with representatives of Chambers of Commerce and other prominent people connected with the Far East. He did not know what was the nature of the steps Mr. Salinger suggested should be taken, other than what they were doing, but if he had any definite suggestion to make they would be glad to consider it. As regards the question whether they had received any answer from Japan, he might say that they had received no direct information, but they understood that the Government were endeavouring to get their Allies united with them in this matter. He did not know of any answer that may have been received from Japan.\n\nELECTION OF OFFICERS.\n\nThe Chairman proposed and Mr. Byron Brenan seconded that Mr. G. Jamieson be re-elected President of the Association. This was carried unanimously.\n\nOn the motion of Mr. Jamieson, seconded by Mr. C. H. Ross, Mr. F. Anderson was re-elected Chairman of Committee, Mr. R. H. Hill vice-chairman, and Mr. R. Chatterton Wilcox hon. treasurer. The following General Committee was then appointed on the motion of the Chairman, seconded by Mr. F. J. Abbott—Bacon Inchcape of Strathnaver, G.C.M.G., K.C.I.E., Sir Claude Macdonald, Rt. Hon. K.C.M.G., Sir Thomas Jackson, Bt., Rt. Hon. Sir Cecil C. Smith, P.C., G.C.M.G., Sir T. Sutherland, G.C.M.G., Sir Walter Hillier, K.C.M.G., C.B., Sir Alfred Dent, K.C.M.G., Sir Charles Dudgeon, Mr. F.

This Branch of the Association has interested itself in this movement for some time past and made a definite offer of 100 men to the War Office. This offer has been accepted, and it must be gratifying to all Britons to learn that there are many more men willing to come forward.\n\nIt is known that subscriptions are being raised for various Patriotic Funds in Shanghai, but the Committee of the China Association appeals to its Members to subscribe towards the passages home of the men who have volunteered, and in so doing relies upon the members to co-operate and canvass their friends who are non-members, and with this end in view a leaf is attached whereon names can be added.\n\nSubscriptions of any amount will be received by the undersigned and a receipt given, and later a statement of account will be published.\n\nAsking for your co-operation in this cause,\n\nI am, DEAR SIR,\n\nYours faithfully,\n\nL. E. CANNING,\n\nSecretary.\n\n459",

        "content_text": "Formally proposing the election of the Chairman to the Presidency of the Association, Mr. Byron Brenan remarked that the members had had evidence of his capacity as Chairman, and of the many gentlemen who had filled the position none had done so better than he. The duties of President were rather more ornamental, but he was quite sure Mr. Jamieson would acquit himself equally well in that capacity. Mr. A. G. Wood seconded, and the motion was carried unanimously.\n\nOn the proposition of the Chairman, seconded by Sir Walter C. Hillier, the following other officers were elected:- Chairman of Committee, Mr. F. Anderson; Vice-Chairman Mr. Robert H. Hill; Hon. Treasurer, Mr. R. Chatterton Wilcox.\n\nThe following General Committee was then appointed on the motion of the Chairman, seconded by Mr. F. J. Abbott:- Right Hon. Sir Cecil Smith, P.C., G.C.M.G., Sir Thos.

The income from investments is less than that of last year by £110 19s. 11d., principally due to the smaller amount received as dividend on the Shanghai and Hongkew Wharf shares. Nevertheless, the balance at the close of the year is larger by £45 2s. 5d. than the amount brought in from the previous year. The Capital Endowment Fund stands at the same nominal amount as last year, the securities being unchanged.\n\nThe offer to appoint Mr. Edmund Backhouse as successor to the late Professor Owen, mentioned in last year's report, was on further consideration declined by that gentleman. Your Committee have consequently retained the services of Rev. S. B. Drake as Acting Professor, and they do not propose to make any further change until it is seen what steps are to be taken towards the opening of the new School of Oriental Studies in the City of London. Your Committee have pleasure in expressing their satisfaction with the efficient conduct of the School by Mr. Drake. A short report by him on the work of the scholastic year to 30th June, 1914, is annexed. Up to that date, the number of students was highly satisfactory, but since the outbreak of war, the attendance has not unnaturally fallen off very considerably.\n\nThe annual examination of the students was again conducted by Rev. W. E. Soothill, to whom the thanks of the Committee are due. His report is hereto attached.\n\nAppended also is a statement rendered by the Secretary of King's College for the academic year ending 31st August, 1914, showing the receipts and expenditure during that period.\n\n(Signed)\nJ. HOWARD GWYTHER.\nBYRON BRENAN.\nG. JAMIESON,\n4th February, 1915.\n\nPage 476",

Corrected some obvious spelling errors (e.g., \"unattest\" remains as is, but \"madhe\" is not corrected as it's unclear what the correct word is).\n3. Rejoined some broken sentences, but many sentences remain fragmented due to the poor quality of the original text.\n4. Removed or indicated unclear or nonsensical text with `...`.\n5. Preserved the original line breaks and page structure as much as possible.\n\nHowever, due to the extremely poor quality of the original text, it is challenging to provide a more accurate correction. Many words and phrases remain unclear or nonsensical, and further correction would require more context or information about the original document. \n\nThe output is in HTML format using `` tags for paragraphs.",

But it is a delicate matter to interrupt an advocate of great experience who has taken weeks to work up his case and is doing his best to present difficult points clearly and distinctly. I have never heard a judge break in on such a speech either here or at home; it would clearly be a vexatious practice.\n\nAgain it is very difficult when responsible Counsel are engaged and fraud is in question to cut short cross-examination. I do not think any judge would in fact do it. Counsel knows what his case is, and the Court does not. Very often an able cross-examiner will lead gradually up to a point he wishes to make by imperceptible degrees. This is the more necessary when as in this case the persons charged with fraud are educated men fully alive to the cross-examiner's purpose.\n\nThe cross-examination might have been materially shortened if Fr. Nolan had interpreted from the beginning. But he has always been attached to the Chief Justice's Court and he is needed there for Sessions: and it is troublesome to change interpreters when there are many references to documents, I began with Mr. Mackie who usually does my work. When he went on leave I continued with one or other of the Chinese interpreters. Since Mr. Jenkin's return I have had Mr. Nolan by special arrangement and the speeding up has been most gratifying.\n\nAfter Mr. Sharp retired from the case it became apparent that Mr. Jenkin would not be able to stand the strain alone. He showed clear signs of being overworked; and with all his promise he has still something to learn about framing questions to a Chinese witness, especially when the interpretation is weak.\n\nUndoubtedly had he been in better health or had more experience in this class of work he could, and would, have shortened his cross-examination considerably. But when an able man suffering from overwork and over-anxiety is doing his best, single-handed in a heavy case it is an insidious matter to pull",

        "content_text": "320\n\nPRAYA MURDER TRIAL.\n\nJURY FIND THE PRISONER \"GUILTY.\"\n\nMIS-DIRECTION ALLEGED BY COUNSEL FOR THE DEFENCE.\n\nConsiderable interest was shown by the Chinese public in the trial, which opened on March 20th, at the Supreme Court, of Leung Wo, ship's cook, indicted for the murder of Leung Yuk Tong, a member of the firm of Jack A. Tai, stevedores, who was shot at mid-day on the Praya on February 24th, and is generally supposed to be a victim of revenge for actions connected with the Seamen's Strike.\n\nThe presiding Judge was the Chief Justice (Sir Wm. Rees Davies). The Attorney-General (the Hon. Mr. J. H. Kemp, K.C.) conducted the case for the Crown and Mr. F. C. Jenkin (instructed by Mr. G. K. Hall Brutton) defended.\n\nThe prisoner entered a plea of 'not guilty,' and a special jury \"to ascertain whether he be guilty or not guilty\" was empanelled forthwith. This consisted of Mr. H. W. Bird (who was chosen to act as foreman), Mr. A. S. Gubbay, Mr. W. B. Walker, Mr. W. Sinclair, Mr. H. S. Bennett, Mr. John Arnold and Mr. A. E. Crapnell.\n\nOn March 21st, the case for the Crown was concluded in the trial of Leung Wo who is indicted for the murder of Leung Yuk Tong, on the Praya, on February 24th.\n\nThe Attorney-General prefaced his account of the shooting incident on the Praya and the chase through Statue Square, with the arrest, finally, of the prisoner, by mentioning that the deceased was connected with Messrs. Jack A Tai, who were concerned, during the strike, in getting away three steamers belonging to the Ocean Steamship Co. The Attorney-General understood that the defence was that a mistake had been made in identity.\n\nThe whole day was occupied in calling the witnesses whose evidence, given in the Police Court, has been so recently reported, very fully. It was noticed, by the way, that learned counsel were making great use of the Daily Press report to supplement the Police Court depositions.\n\nThe principal witness, of course, was Capt. David Morgan, master of the s.s. Kwongsing, who said that, walking along the Praya \"in a brown study,\" he heard the crack of a shot and then saw a ricksha drop and its occupant fall out. A man who was within a few feet of the ricksha, and who had a wisp of smoke in front of him, ran away through Statue Square and up Wardley Street. Witness chased him and later saw him on the ground with a man standing over him.\n\nIn cross-examination, Mr. Jenkin elicited that, on the Praya, Capt. Morgan did not see the face of the man he chased. If this man had not run at once he would not have suspected him of firing the revolver.\n\nMr. Jenkin: I am going to establish out of the mouths of a number of Crown witnesses that there were a number of other Chinese running.\n\nMr. Jenkin asked Capt. Morgan what his brown study was about. Was he, like the rest of us, wrapped in contemplation of the temporary beauties which now adorned Statue Square?\n\nCapt. Morgan: No, I believe I was wondering whether I had won any money in the sweeps.—(Laughter.)\n\nMr. Jenkin: Are you prepared to swear that you did not lose sight of this man on more than one occasion before he turned into Wardley Street?\n\nWitness: You are cutting it too fine, Mr. Jenkin.\n\nIn the morning, before the hearing was resumed, Judge, jury and counsel visited the scene of the shooting and of the chase. The Court was again largely attended by Chinese, who were searched by the police before admission.\n\nA number of witnesses were called to complete the Crown's case; to trace the finding of the revolver, for instance, and to record its passage from hand to hand until it became an \"exhibit\" in the trial.\n\nMr. H. C. Resker, assistant manager of Taikoo Sugar Refinery, said Jack A Tai's were their coolie contractors. About February 1st some of the men supplied by the deceased, Leung Yuk Tong, threatened to strike. Deceased undertook to stop the strike and it was averted.\n\nMr. A. B. H. Phillips, chemist at Taikoo Sugar Refinery, spoke to being in telephonic communication with deceased in connection with the food supply to temporary labourers.\n\nHaving made these preliminary observations, Mr. Jenkin said the case for the Crown would stand or fall by Capt. Morgan's evidence.\n\nThe defence was that a mistake in identity had been made. Capt. Morgan—a man of 63 years of age—had shown great pluck in taking up the chase in the way he did but Mr. Jenkin said he intended to show that Capt. Morgan had mistaken his man.\n\nThe crucial test of the Captain's evidence, Mr. Jenkin suggested, was his recollections about Mr. Green. When first called he said Mr. Green was at the railings near the City Hall but now he said Mr. Green was not standing there. If Mr. Green were on a charge for an assault committed at the top of Wardley Street, how could he possibly be convicted on Capt. Morgan's evidence? Capt. Morgan said he identified Mr. Green by his face and his clothes, yet he put him in the wrong place. It was, therefore, quite possible that he put the prisoner—whom he could not recognise, either by his face or his clothes—in the wrong place, also.\n\nMr. Jenkin also suggested that if Capt. Morgan once lost sight of his man during the chase his identification was of little value. He went on to say that Captain Morgan lost sight of the running man on three occasions—when he ran behind the pillars near the Praya, into Wardley Street; secondly, when Capt. Morgan was jumping over the obstacle of which he spoke, near the Statue; thirdly, when the man entered the part of Wardley Street between the Bank and the City Hall.\n\nMr. Jenkin reminded the jury that when they visited the locus in quo, that morning, he drew their attention to the fact that the temporary pillars blotted out Wardley Street from the spot where he and the jury were then standing, which was on alongside the Bank pavement Garden. Capt. Morgan must have lost sight of the man he was chasing since the big pillars in the Square had not been erected on February 24th. Mr. Jenkin then put in photographs showing that the pillars were there on that date.\n\nCapt. Morgan was then recalled and further cross-examined by Mr. Jenkin.\n\nCapt. Morgan: I did not see anybody throwing a revolver over the railing—No; I did not.\n\nFung Chi, the fireman, in examination, said four men running up the street, were Chinese; three were running on the left side and one on the right. He lost sight of the three men and the man who was running alone was caught.\n\nCapt. Morgan said that when the shot was fired he was in a brown study, thinking about race results and counsel hoped to show that the witness's powers of observation were such as not to justify any certainty as to what he said.\n\nThe evidence for the defence would be this: As the ricksha came along the Praya, three men came out from amongst the pillars in Wardley Street. A big...\n\n[March 25th, 1922]\n\nThe Judge asked, was the man running alone the prisoner? The witness could not say.\n\nAfter Mr. A. H. Barlow and Mr. Ho Cheuk had repeated the evidence they had given in the Police Court as to the finding of the revolver in the Bank Garden, the case for the Crown was closed.\n\nADDRESS FOR THE DEFENCE.\n\nIn opening his address for the defence, Mr. Jenkin remarked that the case had excited a good deal of feeling, owing to the labour troubles at the time. There were people who said that the man ought to have been executed on the spot. The jury, however, must not allow themselves to be swayed by passion but must decide according to the evidence.\n\nMr. Jenkin also said that he had been criticised, openly and covertly, for taking part in the case, but it was the duty of counsel, if he were retained, to do all he could for his client, within the ordinary rules governing the members of the Bar. If he had been assigned by the Crown, instead of being retained, he would have fought the case just as strenuously.\n\nDuring the examination of Mr. Pereira, who knocked down the running man, the Chief Justice told the witness: \"I think your action does you credit, whether you struck the right man or not. You were right in assisting in the administration of order.\"\n\nMr. Jenkin questioned the witness as to what he would do if someone knocked him down without apparent excuse.\n\nThe witness replied that he would demand satisfaction from his assailant.\n\nThe Chief Justice elicited that the witness understood Chinese perfectly well and he was sure that the man he knocked down said nothing at all.\n\nCapt. Morgan admitted that it was possible he might have lost sight of the man when a pillar intervened, but, later, he said he did not believe he lost sight of him at all. It would have been possible for two men to have run ahead of him and the man he was chasing and for one of them to throw a revolver into the garden.\n\nMr. Jenkin suggested to witness that three or four Chinese were in the vicinity of the ricksha and rushed across into Wardley Street.\n\nCapt. Morgan: I did not see anybody.\n\nWitness was certain that there was nobody running on the pavement, unless they were behind him, but there might have been people running on the road.\n\nMr. S. D. Begg, of Messrs. Butterfield & Swire, said Jack A. Tai's were their stevedores.\n\nMr. Jenkin: Did you not see the man throwing a revolver over the railing—No; I did not.",

Smith, Superintendent of Imports and Exports, says in his introductory note: - The apparent decrease in the Imports is entirely due to the lower rate of exchange used in the conversion of local currency into sterling. The actual dollar figures show an increase of over $40,000,000.\n\n  \n    Unit of Quantity\n    1920\n    1921\n  \n  \n    Pieces\n    1,723,205\n    1,326,689\n  \n  \n    Impl.

British tonnage has increased by about one million tons and foreign by about one and a half million tons, the balance is due to an increase in the junk trade. American tonnage declined by approximately 100,000 tons and Russian by 50,000 tons, but Japanese and Dutch tonnage made up the increase in the total.\n\nTHE YARN MARKET.\n\nEFFECT OF THE STRIKE.\n\nMessrs. Polishwalla and Kotwall, cotton and yarn brokers, of Hongkong, in their latest circular state: - Since our last report on January 31st the prolonged seamen's strike during this long period had paralysed the entire business, so our yarn market also remained extremely dull and small lots have changed hands for urgent requirements at a decline of $3 to $7 per bale, with business resulting in about 4,000 bales.\n\n  \n    Unit of Quantity\n    1920\n    1921\n  \n  \n    Piculs\n    1,018,250\n    1,089,393\n  \n  \n    Impl. Gallons\n    28,668,598\n    27,161,905\n  \n  \n    \n    116,008\n    \n  \n  \n    Piculs\n    1,359,815\n    2,751,305\n  \n  \n    \n    1,348,029\n    4,598,068\n  \n  \n    \n    55,863\n    2,016,868\n  \n  \n    \n    5,265,667\n    8,791,356\n  \n  \n    \n    8,984\n    2,465,929\n  \n  \n    \n    474,131\n    12,405\n  \n  \n    \n    6,147,454\n    600,865\n  \n  \n    \n    181,092\n    77\n  \n  \n    \n    121,238\n    \n  \n\nAn unusual feature has been direct exportation from Shanghai of a large quantity of Indian yarn to Canton supplied at lower rates than those ruling at our place. This has further affected our market, which has been very inactive.\n\nAs the seamen strike is now entirely settled and business is assuming the normal aspect, we have every hope of a good inquiry from consuming districts from Yunnan Province which is sure to give an impulse to the present depressed state of our market. Unsold stock 2,600 bales; Bargains in Chinese hands 8,000 bales.\n\nShanghai. - The eagerness of the Foreign holders to part with their stocks, which are rather heavy, at lower rates, have prompted Chinese buyers to fill up their immediate requirements and the latest reports show a tendency towards continued inquiry from surrounding countries.\n\nJapanese Yarn. - Owing to a substantial drop in the prices of this yarn in Japan, there has been a fall of $7 to $9 per bale at our place and the uncertainty of the condition of the market in Japan is causing buyers from making further bargains in spot or forward deliveries.",

Owen Hughes).\n\nCHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT\n\nIntroducing a discussion on a standard form of fancy piece goods contract, the CHAIRMAN read the proposed form, which was as follows:-\n\n(1.) \"Not more than four months clearance including free godown, insurance, etc., will be allowed from date of arrival or sale from stock after which date the buyer shall pay 1 per cent. per month which shall cover interest, godown, insurance and all charges, but the seller's rights on buyer's failure to perform his obligation at due date of clearance shall be wholly unaffected by the provision for payment of the 1 per cent. hereinbefore contained. This clause shall not be varied or affected in any way by Chinese or other characters written or chopped on it by any person purporting to be acting on behalf of either party.\"\n\n(2.) Sellers are not responsible for delay in shipment or non-fulfilment of contract if occasioned by Strikes, Fire, Floods, War or Civil commotions, or any other circumstances beyond their control, and the certificate of any British Chamber of Commerce or other representative Trade Corporation as to the cause of delay in shipment or non-fulfilment of contract shall be conclusive evidence thereof.\n\n(3.) Any dispute regarding quality, shade, finish, design, packing, etc., not settled amicably shall be referred to arbitrators to be appointed by the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce.\n\n(4.) Any goods not taken delivery of within the time specified shall remain at buyer's risk in every respect.\n\n(5.) No terms of this contract other than those expressed in the English language shall affect or be binding on the sellers.\n\n229\n\nThe CHAIRMAN: I think the idea is that it should replace the old contract.\n\nMr. COUSLAND asked that if a contract for goods was made and the shipments were spread over three months, and the last shipment did not arrive in time, could the buyer turn round and refuse to accept the goods? They had had cases taken to Court upon the point and personally he felt rather aggrieved about it. It came under the Sales and Goods Act.\n\nMr. VAN ANDEL said he had compared the present form with the old one and found a good many differences. There were two clauses in the old contract which were missed entirely in the proposed one, and he thought it advisable that they should be inserted. The one referred to the question of shades. A couple of years ago they were told by Manchester that they could not expect the exact imitation of old shades of samples, and so far as he knew that had not yet been withdrawn. He thought importers should be protected against deviation. The other addition referred to clause 3. He suggested it should be added that when the goods arrived in the market in an imperfect state buyers should take delivery, and any dispute with regard to quality, shade, etc., should be referred to arbitration. He thought that was the custom in the Colony.\n\nMr. PLUMMER (as Chairman of the Sub-Committee) said the sub-committee had very carefully considered the very large number of contracts which were at present used in the Colony by various importers, and it was quite impossible to cover everything which some importers desired. As to Mr. Cousland's point, if any portion of the goods were late through unforeseen causes they were covered by common law. If they were late from some cause for which they were responsible, then he was afraid they had to accept the responsibility.\n\nMr. COUSLAND: Only for the late portion. Legally, they are entitled to throw back the whole of the goods.\n\nMr. PLUMMER said that, with regard to the question of a slight deviation in shade, they could refer the matter to the Chamber of Commerce for arbitration.\n\nMr. VAN ANDEL said that one of the reasons why he mentioned the matter was to see whether the Piece Goods Sub-Committee had considered it.\n\nMr. COUSLAND remarked that in any sale contract with Manchester they had the clause inserted that late delivery of one portion of the contract did not affect the others.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN, proceeding, said that the reasons why the proposed contract had been brought forward were familiar to all of them and did not need either advocacy or discussion by him as Chairman. That there was a genuine need for a standard form of contract which should be adopted and adhered to by all importing members of the Chamber was common knowledge, common ground and common agreement. He would like to say most emphatically that it was not the slightest use adopting the contract which had been suggested, either in its present form or amended, if they chose by show of hands that afternoon to amend it, unless those who adopted it prepared rigidly to adhere to it. (Hear, hear). He said that advisedly, because there had been cases reported to the Committee of the past contract, which had been in force for some considerable time, being partially, if not wholly, ignored by some members of the Chamber, who subscribed to it.\n\nIt might be that the reports were false. He formally moved the adoption of the Committee's recommendations as to the local standard form of fancy piece goods.\n\nMr. J. L. PLUMMER seconded.\n\nMr. COUSLAND asked whether it was proposed that the clauses should simply be added to the old contract, or were to be considered to be the entire terms of the contract. If the latter, he was afraid there were one or two legal points which had been left out.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN suggested that points raised by Mr. Cousland and Mr. Van Andel would be covered if clause 3 were altered to read as follows:- \"Any dispute regarding quality, shade, finish, design, packing, delivery, late shipment or non-fulfilment of contract, etc., not settled amicably, shall be referred to arbitrators to be appointed by the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce and their finding shall be binding on both parties.\"\n\nMr. COUSLAND suggested the addition of the following clause:- \"Late or non-arrival of one or more lots not to affect other shipments under this contract.\"\n\nThe CHAIRMAN announced that the suggestion would be accepted, as part of clause 3, or would be drafted in another clause.\n\nThe additions mentioned by the Chairman and Mr. Cousland were agreed to, and the proposed contract, as amended, was unanimously approved by the meeting.",

E. Lindsell at the Police Court today. The defendant was arrested at the Star Ferry Wharf at Kowloon yesterday, and on the way to the Water Police Station is said to have at first offered a bribe of $15 and then to have added a similar sum, with the promise of a further sum as a condition for his release. The Indian constable, Alla Bux, took both sums but did not refrain from marching the prisoner to the Station, where a charge of being in possession of $25 worth of opium was preferred against him.\n\nP.C. Alla Bux said that he saw the prisoner with the parcel containing the drug tucked under his arm, and his movements suggested to him that here was a case worth examining into. On being interrogated, the prisoner said that he had something good to eat. The \"something good\" was shown to be two tals of opium when the parcel was opened. To avoid discovery, the prisoner is said to have attempted to divert the attention of the constable by pointing to another man who, he said, also possessed \"something good to eat.\"\n\nMr. Lindsell was of the view that the charge of bribery was one to be committed for trial and he ordered an adjournment for the evidence of the Sergeant Interpreter of the Water Police Station who took down the prisoner's statements when charged.\n\nDEATH OF MR. A.A. DOS REMEDIOS.\n\nOne of the oldest and most respected members of the Portuguese community passed away early this morning, in the person of Mr. Adalino A. dos Remedios. The deceased, who was 74 years of age, had been for no fewer than 41 years in the employ of Messrs. Jardine, Matheson and Co., Ltd. and was very highly esteemed and respected by all his fellow employees. Only three days ago he attended the office as usual, but was obviously unwell, suffering from a chill. He went home and later developed influenza which led to pneumonia. He passed peacefully away this morning, at his home in Caine Road.\n\nThroughout his long association with Messrs. Jardine, Matheson and Co., the deceased had been a valued servant. For many years he was in charge of the Shipping Office, but for the past three years he served in the Indo-China Book Office. Of a quiet and retiring disposition, the late Mr. Remedios, who possessed a particular charm of manner, will be mourned by all with whom he came into contact.\n\nHe leaves a widow and two children to mourn their loss. His son is Mr. J. S. Remedios, of the Post Office, his daughter being Mrs. J. F. Tavares. The funeral takes place to-morrow afternoon, at 6 o'clock.\n\nSHANGHAI'S MIXED COURT.\n\nWith reference to the Mixed Court at Shanghai, the Sinwanpao contains the following report:-\n\nMembers of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs met on Tuesday to discuss the many questions connected with the return to China of the Mixed Court. Two suggestions were offered: (1) To reform the Court; (2) To return it to the Chinese for sole administration. It was decided that members of the Ministry should confer on the matter with the British, American and French Ministries.\n\nCANADIAN POTATOES\n\nFine, Choice, Mealy.\n\nPRICES RIGHT.\n\nTHE DAIRY FARM, ICE & COLD STORAGE CO., LTD.\n\nKOWLOON\n\nTHEATRE\n\nThe only entirely European Cinema in the Far East\n\nJ.

Result 2-2.\n\nIn the Company League, the Machine Gun Platoon sustained their first defeat in the competition when they were defeated by \"B\" Coy, the score being 1-0.

A report from Wuchow states that troops commanded by Lo To and Chang Hoi-yue are moving down to Chunchow and that traffic between Wuchow and other cities in Kwangsi is unsafe.\n\nChan Cheong-po has been ordered by General Chan King-ming to take his force to the West River, as far as Dosing, to maintain order.\n\nThe Provincial Treasurer has decided to form a Finance committee for the improvement of the paper currency. He has invited the leading merchants and gentry to become members, and hopes to have publicly announced the exact number of notes in circulation.\n\nIt is reported that the Gunboat, Control and the Water Police Departments are to be abolished and a new body created to be known as the Sea and River Defence Headquarters, of which Chan Wing-son will be the chief.\n\nRAILWAY OFFICER'S \"FIRST DUTY.\"\n\nTo Attend Court.\n\nIn a case of larceny of two lengths of chain from the Railway Station at Kowloon, it was stated by Inspector C. Aris that Mr. G. Walker, the Traffic Superintendent, who prosecuted in the case, was unable to appear in Court on account of pressure of work. However, if his presence were urgently wanted, he would turn up.\n\nMr. E. W. Hamilton (to Inspector Aris)- Give my compliments to Mr. Walker, and tell him that if he does not appear I will discharge the man. It is his first duty to attend the Court.\n\nThe case was adjourned until to-morrow morning for the attendance of Mr. Walker.\n\nACCIDENT TO CHIEF JUSTICE.\n\nFalls and Breaks Arm in Typhoon.\n\nThe Chief Justice (Sir Wm. Rees-Davies) met with a nasty accident during the typhoon on Wednesday night. He and Mr. H. A. Nesbit went up in the Peak Tram. They were walking together with arms linked, in Cham-bers Road. The wind was very strong. One gust was so sudden that it took the Chief Justice off his feet. He fell on his right side and in so doing broke his right arm.\n\nIt was Sir William's intention to go to Japan to-morrow, but owing to the accident he will probably not be able to make the trip.\n\nEntertain your friends with a VIC TROJA\n\nAsk about our easy payment system.\n\nMOUTRIES:- Exclusive Distributors.\n\nTUESDAY ONLY\n\nCAROLYN THE CORNER\n\nSKIM MILK\n\nWHAT IS IT?\n\nWEDNESDAY & THURSDAY\n\nMARRIED LIFE\n\nMore Big Pictures to follow!\n\nALERT\n\nIt is milk from which most of the fat (cream) has been removed. Is it nourishing? Is it healthful?\n\nIT IS BOTH!\n\nWe feed our calves on Skim Milk. You will never starve drinking Skim Milk. It contains all the nourishing elements - the casein, etc., which ordinary milk contains (less the fats only), and is far more easily digested than whole milk because it is not rich in fats. Skim Milk is a low-priced milk, specially suitable for making Puddings and thickening Soups. It also has many other uses.\n\nTRY IT!\n\nYou will soon be ordering it by the gallon.\n\nA plentiful supply always on hand. Skim Milk is loaded with the now famous VITAMINES. Regular milk drinkers seldom suffer from diseases due to lack of Vitamines.\n\nMilk for the kiddies is a builder of bone and muscle. Be on the safe side and let them drink Skim Milk instead of water.\n\nPRICE 5 CENTS PER BOTTLE.

Buff was helpless and groggy and his sec- onds threw the towel into the ring.\n\nBuff weighed 1114 pounds while Villa tipped the scales at 110 pounds. The knockout came after twenty-seven seconds of fighting in the eleventh round. Villa scored two knockdowns in the tenth round and then began pummeling Buff with both hands. He rushed Buff to the ropes and chased him across the ring. Buff was reeling when Villa landed his left on the head and sent the American bumping to the floor.\n\nAt the start of the eleventh round Buff was defenseless with grogginess.

My Lord,\n\nIN reply to your circular despatch of the 9th August last, I have the honour to report that I learn from the Argentine Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs that no special legislation exists in this country regulating the immigration and landowning rights of Japanese, Chinese and other coloured races.\n\nThe Japanese Chargé d'Affaires stated that no difficulties are, in practice, put in the way of such immigration, but that Japanese immigrants are not admitted into the immigrants' hostel. He added that, once in this country, they are subject to its laws, and their landowning and other rights are not specially restricted.\n\nThe Japanese Government, he said, are not \"sending\" emigrants here, but those who come are well received and seem satisfied.\n\nI beg leave to transmit herewith a copy of a despatch on this subject from His Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires at Asunción reporting that the restrictions placed upon yellow immigration into Paraguay have been modified in theory by the Treaty of Commerce between Japan and Paraguay, a copy of which was forwarded with Mr. Goodhart's despatch No. 57 of the 13th February, 1920, but that in practice obstacles may well be put in the way of such immigration in future.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nRONALD MACLEAY.\n\n(No. 70.) Sir,\n\nEnclosure 1 in No. 1.\n\nMr. Paris to Mr. Macleay.\n\nAsunción, October 18, 1921. WITH reference to your despatch No. 36 of the 13th September last on the subject of legislation in Paraguay regulating immigration and landowning rights of Japanese, Chinese and other coloured races, I have the honour to transmit to you, enclosed herewith, a summary translation of the Immigration Law of the 6th October, 1903, and of decree No. 11167 of the 22nd January, 1920, regulating the admission of immigrants into this country.\n\nAs regards landowning rights of Japanese, Chinese, &c., no special legislation whatever exists, and they consequently possess exactly the same rights as other foreigners in this respect. In the case of the Japanese, however, it will be noticed that article 14 of the Immigration Law provides that certificates and immigrants' passages shall in no case be issued \"to individuals of the yellow races\", but article 2 of the Treaty of Commerce between Japan and Paraguay, ratified on the 15th August, 1921, places the Japanese in all respects on the same footing as the subjects or citizens of the most favoured nation, permitting them to possess every description of immovable property on an equality with those of any other foreign country.\n\nI questioned the Minister for Foreign Affairs regarding this apparent inconsistency, and he informed me that, in order to avoid a discussion of the point in Congress, the executive had decided to regard the Japanese, for the time being at least, as \"isleños\" (islanders) and not as a yellow race. At the same time I gathered from him that the prospect offered by the celebration of the treaty, of possible Japanese immigration to Paraguay, is by no means regarded with general favour, and that the request of the Japanese Minister for a modification of article 14 of the Immigration Law was negatived and the peculiar course taken of provisionally adopting the term \"isleños,\" solely with a view to retain some means of putting obstacles in the way of such immigration should occasion arise in the future.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nF. W. PARIS.\n\n[7284 x-2]",

Experiments by dentists all over the country have proved beyond a doubt that the clean tooth stands a poor chance of decaying.\n\nA tooth brush too large for the mouth is a problem. The adult size of 90 per cent of the tooth brushes on the market is too big. \nThe fact that a person should have his teeth cleaned from four to six months by a dentist has been impressed upon the minds of the public.\n\nThe laity also know that the teeth should be brushed at least twice daily and many use a brush systematically yet even then accomplish very little towards keeping their teeth clean.\n\nThe remedy? Use of a smaller brush! \nWhen a patient inquires as to the best tooth paste to use, I never recommend any one in particular but I always advise him as to the size of the brush to use because proper manipulation means more than the toothpaste.\n\nCONTINUED.\n\n### Dr. Wm W.

According to the direction given, the latest typhoon from the Pacific Ocean is making tracks for Hongkong.\n\nLatest reports give its position as to the South-West of the Colony, outside the 300 miles radius (of the Colony) but close to it.\n\nThe direction indicates that unless there is a deflection, it will strike land a little to the West of Hongkong.\n\nNo. 1 local signal was hoisted to-day at 12.05 p.m. This red cone, pointing upwards, means that typhoon exists which may cause a gale in Hongkong in 24 hours.\n\nThe forecast for Hongkong and coast, till noon to-morrow, is:--\n\nLight, variable winds, possibly increasing to a gale from the North-East, or North-West: fine at first, rain later.\n\nBANQUE DE L'INDO-CHINE.\n\nHEAD OFFICE:\n\n96, Boulevard Haussmann, Paris.

These people practically live on the doorsteps of the local banks, and not a day passes without they enter contract or other, either directly with the banks, or through representatives of those institutions, for the banks cannot recognise all and sundry.\n\nThese men follow the slightest change in quotations with the greatest interest, for they are gamblers all—in the business interpretation of the term.\n\n\"Are you worrying about the exchange also!\" was the query put to a merchant.\n\n\"I should say I am. I am just waiting for the bank manager to give me a rate. Who will send anything to Hong Kong at our prices?\" was the reply.\n\nAn Unquoted Rise. Passing on to another bank our representative met a Chinese well versed in exchange matters, and not a little interested in the fluctuation of the Hong Kong dollar.\n\n\"Have you heard?\" he asked, on sighting the Daily Press man, \"Exchange has gone up half a farthing, but the banks are not quoting it?\"\n\n\"No, I haven't heard,\" the writer replied, \"but why do you think the banks are not quoting it?\"\n\n\"A further drop is anticipated, my friend, that is why!\" was the cryptic answer he gave as he passed on.\n\nHighest\nLowest\nHighest\nLowest\n\n1887\n474\n1884\n3/93\n28\n\n1888\n431\n1885\n8/7\n3/33\n\n1889\n442\n418\n1886\n3/43\n2/11\n\n1890\n548\n41.15.16\n438\n1887\n3/41\n3/01\n\n1891\n483\n43\n1888\n3/1\n2/113\n\n1892\n432\n37%\n1889\n3/23\n2/114\n\n1893\n38.13-16\n30}\n1890\n3/102\n3/01\n\n1894\n31%\n27\n1891\n3/5\n3/08\n\n1895\n31.5-16\n27.3-16\n1892\n3/0\n2/82\n\n1896\n31.9-16\n292\n1893\n2/87\n2/2/\n\n1897\n29.13-16\n23@\n1894\n2/3\n1/11/\n\n1898\n98%\n25\n1895\n2/23\n1/11\n\n1899\n99\n265\n1896\n2/23\n2/1\n\n1900\n301\n27\n1897\n2/12\n1/92\n\n1901\n29.9-16\n25\n1898\n1/113\n1/93\n\n1902\n26\n21.11-16\n1899\n1/11\n1/10\n\n1903\n28\n\n1900\n2/1\n1/11\n\n1904\n28.9-16\n\n1901\n2/1\n\n1905\n30.5-10\n21.11-16\n1902\n\n1906\n331\n\n1903\n1/94\n1/108\n\n1907\n32.7-16\n\n1904\n1/61\n1/10.11-16\n\n1908\n\n1905\n2/11\n\n1909\n243\n\n1906\n1/64\n1/11.9-16\n\n1910\n261\n\n1907\n1/8\n\n1911\n261\n\n1908\n\n1912\n29.11-16\n\n1909\n1/92\n1/81\n\n1913\n293\n29\n1910\n1/10\n\n1914\n271\n221\n1911\n1/10\n\n1915\n271\n22.5-16\n1912\n2/1.1-16\n\n1916\n37\n261\n1913\n2/0.15-16\n1/11\n\n1917\n55\n35.11-16\n1914\n1/11\n1/81\n\n1918\n493\n42!\n1915\n1/11\n1/9\n\n1919\n79%\n47.7-16\n1916\n2/41\n\n1920\n89,\n381\n1917\n3/20\n2/3\n\n1921\n433\n303\n1918\n3/8\n2/11/\n\n1922\n37\n30\n1919\n5/2\n3/02\n\n1923\n33.11-16\n303\n1920\n6/2\n2/11\n\n1924\n\n1921\n3/12\n2/2\n\n1925\n\n1922\n2/7$\n2/23\n\n1926\n\n1923\n2/4/\n2/21\n\n1927\n\n1924\n2/51\n2/23\n\n1928\n\n1925\n2/51\n2/27\n\n1929\n26.7-10\n21.5-16\n1926\n2/43\n1/98\n\n1927\n2/03\n1/113\n\n1928\n2/1\n1/113\n\n1929\n2/01\n1/7!\n\n1/9.13-16\n\nA Very Happy New Year. A good many of these people are looking forward to a very happy Chinese New Year through a stroke of fortune or through their close association with the banks and intensive study of daily quotations, they figured on a drop in the Hong Kong dollar, and entered into commitments with this end in view.\n\nWhether they foresaw the present abnormally low rate is open to question, but it was learned on good authority yesterday that profit amounting to three, five and seven lakhs has been made by different number of speculators, while others have \"small\" profits of from $50,000 to $100,000 to show.\n\nThere were a few speculators who did not believe in the continued fall in the Hong Kong dollar, and these have been caught, but not too badly, as the bulk of the profits, so it is reported, have been made out of the banks.\n\nWhen the dollar on Thursday touched the lowest record to date, a pitiful scene was witnessed outside one of the local banks.\n\nMR. AND MRS. MAN-IN-THE-STREET.\n\nLOOK AT THE FALLEN DOLLAR.\n\nCOST OF LIVING AND FAMILY RESPONSIBILITIES.\n\nWhile bank managers and professional, or amateur financiers, are discussing the silver basis, China's currency and the bank rate, Mr. and Mrs. Man-in-the-Street are asking themselves what the fall in the value of the dollar is going to mean to them. And they generally discuss the problem with long faces.\n\nThe cost of living will quite inevitably go up, though probably not to any appreciable extent until March. Six weeks from now, if the dollar still stands at 1/6, the cost of living will have increased by from 25 to 30 per cent.\n\n\"The evil-minded grocer will not be to blame. He will have to pay for his goods in sterling, and pay more dollars for his sterling than he did six months ago. If he is to continue in business he must increase his prices. The same applies to every form of retail trade.\n\nAt one of the banks an Indian merchant was seen in long conference with one of the officials.\n\nCHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT\n\nIt looks Not So Gloomy.\n\nAn Optimistic Note. A discussion of the situation with the leading retail merchants the Colony revealed some interesting facts.\n\nTheir general outlook not nearly so black as that of the man in the street and his wife. While realising that their standards will be adjusted to meet our incomes. There will be less indulgence in luxury certainly for a month or two, possible for longer, but probably little actual want.\n\n\"At first people stopped buying anything but necessities, but after a time they will accept the new prices as normal,\" a representative was told.\n\nThe retailers anticipate doing on the whole a smaller volume of trade during the coming year, but they do not seem to anticipate suffering very heavy consequences.\n\nSome are considering the policy of buying only enough stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock.\n\nHOW THE COLONY WILL GAIN.\n\nAN OPTIMIST'S VIEW.\n\nAmid general depression about the dollar, especially among those of us who live on \"fixed\" salaries it is, perhaps, good to have a little optimism, such as that conveyed by a well-known authority to a Daily Press representative yesterday.\n\nwas\n\nIn answer to the interviewer our authority agreed that with the depreciation of the dollar it naturally prophesied by several leading business magnates and newspapers that 1930 in Hong Kong would be a gloomy year.\n\n\"We always find \"destructive critics the world over,'\n\n\"but when constructive ones are wanted, they are rarely found. Coming down to hard facts\n\nInfluence of \"Jack Frost.\" But there are compensatory factors for the retailer. The cold spell for one.\n\nIn one of the most important European shops dealing in Oriental curios and objets d'art, our representative was told that while there had been less than the usual demand for jewellery and expensive wall pictures, there had been unusually good sales of Pekin and Tientsin carpets.\n\nOther merchants are experiencing good sales of woollen garments, coats, scarves and travelling rugs. Then there is what might be termed to borrow a war-time phrase the food-hoarding instinct.\n\nThe January sales should prove even more popular than usual this year.\n\nNo Increase In Prices! Mr. H. Overy, of Messrs. Wm. Powell, the well-known firm men's tailors and outfitters, viewed the situation with confidence and even optimism.\n\n\"We shall not put \"We buy our prices up,\" he said. only twice a year, in September and March. Our September goods were bought at the rate of 1/11d., and our customers will have full benefit. If the dollar does not rise-which I think it will-of course our March buyings must be affected.\n\nWe have no intention of buying goods in any but our usual British market and the price of small haberdashery articles will in any case remain what it is at present. There is no direction in which the fall of the dollar helps us.\n\nTrade Prospects.\n\n\"As I have already mentioned, men must live, therefore there will always be a demand for goods. The sudden drop of the dollar naturally sets the heads of business-houses thinking and waiting until matters improved before taking further orders.\n\nThus temporarily their business is at a standstill and, what is more a man is apt to cry out louder when in pain than from pleasure and so it is here.\n\nNow if the intrinsic value of the dollar is low, foreign investors and financiers will invest in the Colony, because they will get more dollars as the equivalent of their own currency.\n\nOne can always get 8 or 10 per cent. even more on investments locally,- shares, property mortgages, etc.\n\nWith the money market easy naturally the prices of the various investments will increase by leaps and bounds.\n\nTherefore, I can see a very bright silver lining to the clouds in the near future.\n\nA colony with a stable and well-established government like ours, where every- one has a pretty fair deal-a shelter for political refugees from neigh- bouring places, a harbour of world- renowned fame, where millions come and go, of all colours, races, and religions a Mecca of trade with hundreds of princely merchantmen constantly coming and going—such a Colony can never languish.\n\nThe sun never sets on the British Em- pire; where the British flag flies one rarely find her sons with cold feet- so let there be none among us!\n\nCORRESPONDENCE.\n\nTHE FALL OF THE DOLLAR.\n\nTo the EDITOR HONG KONG DAILY PRESS.\n\nSIR,-I should not have thought it possible that so many editorial and interviews with comments could authorities \"anonymous have exhibited such a complete lack of comprehension of fundamental facts as has come to light on this subject.\n\nOne authority, who granted a long interview, implied that if the Hong Kong dollar had been fixed at about 2-, we should, by our geographical position, have had a sentimental effect on Shanghai and prevented the drop in silver!\n\nIt is hardly necessary to dwell upon the absurdity of such a view.\n\nMost of the commentators obsessed with the idea that if it were not for some imaginary conspiracy, we in Hong Kong would really be basking in prosperity, with a 2/- dollar, and surveying with aloofness the fate of China's silver currency.\n\nTheir arguments and comments overlook the fact that this Colony has always been on a silver basis.\n\nOur Hong Kong dollar is a silver dollar and our bank-notes promise to pay the bearer on demand the amount expressed in silver dollars.\n\n...\n\nPage 108\n\nTHE HONG KONG WEEKLY PRESS &\n\n...\n\nPage 109",

        "content_text": "## C. S. O. M.F. 237.\n\nThe Dominion of Canada cordially associates herself with the Crown Colony of Hong Kong by participating in the British Empire Fair which is opening to-day. It is gratifying to the Canadian Government, and particularly to myself, as Minister of Trade and Commerce, that Canada has been accorded such excellent facilities for thus displaying before the citizens of Hong Kong and South China samples of her natural products and manufactures, with a view to further extending inter-Imperial trade between these two sections of the British Commonwealth of Nations. It is particularly fitting that this Fair should open on May 24th, the anniversary of the \"Mother of the Empire\", the late Queen Victoria, and a day celebrated throughout the British Empire as indicative of its solidarity and its devotion to the Crown.\n\nThe Crown Colony of Hong Kong and the Dominion of Canada have much in common. It was in 1841, during the reign of Queen Victoria, that Hong Kong became a Crown Colony and began to flourish under the Union Jack. It was in the same year that Canada had its first democratic government. Direct steamship services between Canada and Hong Kong provide a means of greatly increasing the volume of trade between, and linking closer together, these at one time distant parts of the Empire. Their products and manufactures are to a large extent complementary, and it is to the advantage of both countries that this trade should be considerably increased. Hong Kong is at the spearhead of a large and practically unexploited trade territory which will, when the existing difficulties have passed, provide Hong Kong with a market for many of Canada's products and which in return may provide for many of Canada's wants.\n\nIt is natural that Hong Kong, due to its location and the unexcelled facilities offered by its harbour, should serve as a centre of distribution for Canadian products which will eventually be consumed in the Southern part of the Chinese Republic. It is our hope that the importers of Hong Kong will give the fullest consideration to the opportunities offered to them by Canadian producers.\n\nIt was with the object of promoting greater trade between Canada and this territory that the appointment of a Trade Commissioner was made in 1929. It is to the advantage of Hong Kong importers to prepare for the future. Canada can provide them with many of their requirements and since it is to their advantage to cultivate a trading partnership with that Dominion.\n\nI congratulate the Chairman and Committee on their efforts to make the Fair a success and feel sure that they will be fully justified by the results obtained.\n\n**N.Z's. BEST WISHES.**\n\nMr. Williamson read the following message from Mr. Masters, the Minister of Industries and Commerce in the New Zealand Government:- Please express best wishes of the New Zealand Government for the success of the Empire Fair and appreciation of the efforts of Government, committees, Hotel company and others to further Empire trade. Also express our thanks for the assistance rendered to New Zealand in this connection.\n\n**FROM AUSTRALIA.**\n\n**Prime Minister's Cable Of Appreciation.**\n\n\"EVERY SUCCESS.\"\n\nMr. J. A. Tonkin delivered the following message from the Minister of the Commonwealth Government of Australia:\n\nOn behalf of the Commonwealth Government, I wish the Empire Fair every success and hope it will mark the opening of many new avenues of inter-Empire trade. Appreciation is expressed to the Government of Hong Kong for the encouragement and assistance in launching the Fair, and to the Fair Committees, the Hotel Company, the Hon. Mr. J. P. Braga, and those organisations and associations whose activities have been responsible for this display of Empire products. Your Fair will be successful and beneficial to all British and Dominion participants.—Lyons, Prime Minister.\n\n## THE GOVERNOR'S SPEECH.\n\n**Trade Commissioner From Home.**\n\n**WHAT OF TARIFFS?**\n\nFormally declaring the Fair open, H.E. the Governor said:- Mr. Paterson, Your Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen: I am very pleased to have the privilege to-day of opening the second Empire Products Fair held in Hong Kong. As you know, the idea was started last year as the outcome of a letter addressed by Mrs. Amery, the wife of a former Secretary of State for the Colonies, to my wife, in which among other things she suggested an all-British food day.\n\nThe proposal to have an Empire Products Fair was taken up with great enthusiasm. My wife assisted in the preliminary stages, but to our regret we were unable to be here for the Fair itself. We were however greatly interested in the accounts which were sent to us. There was no doubt that it was a great triumph, and I take this opportunity of congratulating all those who helped to achieve that success.\n\nIt was indeed so successful that it was quite rightly decided that another Fair should be held this year, and there is no need for me to say that that decision has been amply justified, and that this year's Fair will greatly surpass that of last year.\n\nSuch Fairs have been instituted in many parts of the Empire. The British Industries Fair was started in a modest way in London soon after the War, and has grown to be of the greatest commercial value. Another Fair of the same kind has been held at Birmingham for the last fourteen years and yearly gains increasing popularity. Many of the colonies participate in that held in London, Fiji being one of the latest notable additions; and I hope that at no distant date Hong Kong will be able to participate, showing the people at home that this Colony is developing valuable industries of its own.\n\n**Local Industries.**\n\nIn a recent edition of a very interesting journal called \"The Crown Colonist\", I noticed in a map showing the various sources of Empire products that Hong Kong was marked \"Local industries and trans-shipment for China”. A few years ago the words \"local industries\" would probably not have been written, Hong Kong then being considered very little more than a mere transit port. Industries are now growing up in this Colony, one of the most notable perhaps of recent ventures being the brewing of beer! Only recently I was informed by the head of a well-known Hong Kong firm that they had a very large order from England for rubber-soled shoes manufactured here.\n\nThese Fairs are great factors in the commercial life of the Empire, and help to make us realise what a great Empire is capable of producing. It is wonderful how little many of us know of its great resources. I had an opportunity of visiting the Fair in London in 1928, and I must confess to great surprise at many of the things I saw there.\n\nThe British Empire has held a high position in trade, but owing perhaps to over-confidence has tended to sink in a slough of conservatism, in spite of considerable technical advances in industry. Where we really have to some extent failed is in actual trading.\n\nWe have been inclined to stand on a past reputation of the excellence of our goods, which has always been high, and have been extraordinarily unwilling to investigate changes in demand. Suppliers seem to hold the view that they should decide on what the consumer should take, ignoring the adage that he who pays the piper has the right to call the tune. This tendency, as far as the Far East is concerned, was recognised by the Economic Mission which visited the Far East over two years ago, and also by Mr. Beale, now Commercial Counsellor to our Peking Legation, who drew attention to it in a report which he wrote on trade in Malaya some years ago, when I first met him there. There is no doubt that many of our large suppliers have followed fortuitous methods, and have not appreciated the necessity of studying their markets. I think that I can truthfully say that great improvements have now been made in our methods. The quality of our goods has always been of a high standard and with a better realisation of the customers' needs, I feel that there is every prospect of a considerable increase in trade. If however suppliers wish to achieve a maximum of success I think that they should employ what I might term special Trade Commissioners of their own to carry out continuous investigation of the needs and desires of those whose custom they wish to retain and develop.\n\n**British Commissioner.**\n\nAt the same time I must say that I think that it is time that we had something in the nature of a British Trade Commissioner here to represent the Home Country and those parts of the Empire which are not at present represented, and I am in hopes that such an appointment may materialise in the not far distant future.\n\nMajor Duclos, the Canadian Trade Commissioner, has been with us for some time, and I congratulate him on the success which he has made of his appointment. I also would like to offer him our especial thanks for the very great assistance he has given both at last year's Fair and this Fair. He has indeed been a tower of strength to the organisers.\n\nWe greatly appreciate the friendly message from the Hon. H. H. Stevens, Minister of the Department of Trade and Commerce in Canada, which Major Duclos has just read. It is a message which indicates that true Empire spirit and desire for co-operation at the development of which we should all aim. I think there is a great deal to be done in fostering trade between Hong Kong and Canada, and I agree with Mr. Stevens that we have many interests in common. I passed through Canada on my way Home last year, but had very little time to study conditions there. I was impressed however in particular by three products which I thought could with advantage be exported on a larger scale to Hong Kong, namely motor-cars, fruit and beer. However with the establishment of a local brewery perhaps I had better not extol the value of Canadian liquor!\n\n**Advertising British Goods.**\n\nTrade between Australia and New Zealand and this Colony is growing, and I congratulate Mr. Williamson, who has acted as honorary agent for those Dominions, on this successful development. I also thank him for his valuable assistance in connexion with this Fair.\n\nWe greatly appreciate the friendly messages from Australia and New Zealand which he and Mr. Tonkin have just conveyed to us. I take this opportunity of welcoming to Hong Kong Mr. Tonkin who has just arrived as the representative of the Commonwealth of Australia.\n\nIf the whole Empire will buy British goods, things will become easy and less effort be necessary.\n\n**Tariff Question.**\n\nOur great Empire must be nearly self-supporting, and certainly should be capable of being made so. In spite of the old tradition of free trade, we have been driven to some extent to tariffs, but there is a school, and a very powerful one, which is not satisfied that that is the proper line to follow. At all events I have no hesitation in saying that the imposition of tariffs must not be allowed to depreciate efficiency and economy in production. Fundamentally it is most important that we should learn to produce goods which can compete successfully with similar goods of other countries, and at an economic price to the consumer. Tariffs would be entirely bad if they were to militate against this.\n\nHong Kong, while undoubtedly growing industrially, is still mainly a transit port, and there is no doubt in my mind that tariffs would on the whole therefore probably do more harm than good. It would be fatal to impose tariffs to help one or two industries, if by surrendering the principle which we have followed for many years we for the sake of one or two industries were to ruin the main trade of the port.\n\nMoreover it must be remembered that this Colony is not, except to a small extent, a primary producer and that in regard to its industries it is largely dependent on imported material. In these circumstances I need hardly stress the danger and difficulty of tariffs.\n\nI have not yet had an opportunity of seeing the exhibits to-day, but from what I have learnt there is no doubt that this Fair affords considerable evidence of what can be obtained from Empire sources, and also what this Colony is capable of producing.\n\n**New Territories.**\n\nI am very glad that there is such a fine exhibit of produce from the New Territories, and I trust that substantial purchases will be made. One cannot but be struck by the great local industry and ability of the agriculturist in producing what he does. The Territories have long been noted for producing some of the finest rice in the world, and to-day they are able to produce many varieties of fruit and vegetables, but more requires to be done in the direction of proper marketing, and I should like to see the principles of co-operation developed in this respect. It has been proved that pineapples can be successfully grown, and I should like to see an up-to-date canning factory for this form of fruit developed in the Colony. To compete however with the canned products of other countries such as Hawaii and Malaya, improved methods must be introduced and new strains of pineapple imported.\n\nIn the matter of advertisement, too, we British have been behind other nations. Lulled perhaps by an excessive feeling of confidence and faith in our own products and achievements, we have tended to consider it unnecessary to advertise and push those products. In these days however it must be conceded that if we are to capture the markets, it is necessary to advertise our goods.\n\nIn opening this Fair to-day, I appeal for a greater support for British products, and in that term of course I include the products of this—a British Colony. The number unemployed at home and in other parts of the Empire is very large, due partly to economic depression and partly to the fact that new inventions often diminish the need for man-power. It is necessary therefore, in order to cope with this problem, to develop to the full the resources of the Empire. Team work is called for and we should realise that in supporting British industries we make a valuable contribution to the solution of a difficult Imperial problem. It is essential however that such industries should aim at efficiency and economy and not allow themselves to be lulled into a wrong sense of security under the impression that if the whole Empire buys British, they will be safe.\n\nThe industrial tendency is undoubtedly growing in this Colony, and in spite of the slump and the fact that some factories have had to close.\n\nIt would take too long to mention by name the many residents who have helped towards the organisation of the Fair, but I desire especially to thank the Directors of the Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels for again allocating to the Fair such a large amount of space in the Peninsula Hotel. Mr. Taggart has helped in innumerable ways towards the successful organisation of the Fair, and the Hotel staff has co-operated in every possible way.\n\n**Prime Movers.**\n\nThe Hon. Mr. J. J. Paterson has ably presided over meetings, but on the Hon. Mr. J. P. Braga and his sons, Mr. H. Braga and Mr. A. M. Braga, has fallen the brunt of the work of organisation of exhibits, to which they have given a great deal of their time for months past. In this they have been supported by Mr. Key as Honorary Secretary. The Military authorities have greatly assisted the Committee to keep down expenses by lending a considerable quantity of military equipment which has been used for the erection of stalls. In this connexion I would especially mention the help of Mrs. Borrett, Mrs. Kinnaird Watson, Mrs. Hoare and the numerous ladies who are working under their leadership. The organisers of the several sections—the list is again too long to permit of individual mention—deserve our thanks.\n\nThe necessity of building two large pavilions on the adjoining land has involved special electrical difficulties, in handling which the China Light and Power Co., Messrs. Callender's Cable and Construction Co. Ltd., and Messrs. Wm. C. Jack & Co., have most helpfully collaborated in a way that has placed the Committee under a great obligation. To-night you will see the attractive lighting effects which have been installed.\n\nThe Telephone Company has gone to considerable expense and trouble to install the Public Address System which greatly helps speakers in this large building and will doubtless be found useful to exhibitors for broadcasting announcements within the Exhibition area.\n\nSeveral firms and Public Companies—both British and Chinese—have given transport facilities and many more have distributed advertisements all over the Colony. All the English newspapers and several Chinese newspapers, have rendered essential assistance by placing their columns freely at the disposal of the Committee. I may perhaps conclude this incomplete resume by thanking the many exhibitors on whose combined support the Fair depends.\n\n**Canton Visitors Welcomed.**\n\nI extend a very hearty welcome to H.E. Mr. Lin Yun-koy and our other Canton friends, who have done us the honour of coming here to-day to attend this Fair. Their presence here affords further proof of the excellent relations which exist between Canton and this Colony. This Fair is primarily held on behalf of British products, but many of these, I am happy to say, are purchased by Canton. In some things there is a healthy trade rivalry between Canton and Hong Kong, but speaking generally our interests are closely interwoven, and the prosperity of the one is largely dependent on the prosperity of the other. It is a matter for congratulation therefore that the friendship between the two places is so happily maintained.\n\nI have much pleasure in declaring the Fair open and in wishing it great success.\n\n## C. S. O. M.F. 237.\n\n### SOUTH CHINA MORNING POST. THURSDAY, MAY 25, 1933.\n\n**OFFICIAL OPENING.**\n\n**'GOVERNOR'S PLEA FOR GREATER EMPIRE CO-OPERATION.**\n\n**WELCOME TO OFFICIAL GUESTS.**\n\nWith full ceremonial, the Empire Fair was officially opened by the Governor, Sir William Peel at noon.\n\nThe Governor and Lady Peel were welcomed at the main entrance of the Hotel by the Hon. Mr. J. J. Paterson, Chairman of the Committee, who escorted them through a guard of honour comprising Boy Scouts and Girl Guides to the first floor.\n\nHis Excellency entered with Mr. Paterson, while Lady Peel was accompanied by the Vice-chairman of the Fair Committee (Hon. Mr. J. P. Braga). Then came Mr. S. T. Williamson (honorary agent for the Australian and New Zealand Governments), Major Duclos (Canadian Trade Commissioner), the Hon. Dr. Kotewall, Mr. M. F. Key (Secretary of the Fair Committee) and Capt. Walter, A. D. C. to the Governor.\n\nThe Chairman was supported on the dais, on the right, by H.E. the Governor, the Chairman of the Kwangtung Provincial Government (Mr. Liu Yun-koy), H.B.M. Acting Consul-General (Mr. E. G. Jamieson, C.B.E.), Mr. J. A. Tonkin (representing the Department of Commerce of the Australian Commonwealth Government), Hon. Mr. J. P. Braga (Vice-Chairman and principal organiser of the Fair Committee). On the left were Lady Peel, the Mayor of Canton (Mr. Liu Chi-wen) and Mrs. Liu Chi-wen, Major V. E. Duclos (Canadian Trade Commissioner in Hong Kong), Mr. S. T. Williamson (Hon. Agent for New Zealand) Hon. Mr. R. H. Kotewall, C.M.G. (Vice-Chairman).\n\nOthers present included the General Officer Commanding, Major-General O. C. Borrett, C.B., C.M.G., D.S.O., C.B.E., and Mrs. Borrett, H. H. the Chief Justice and Mrs. J. R. Wood, representatives of the Consular Body, officials from Canton, the Commodore and Mrs. Marrack, members of the Executive Council, Government officials, members of the General Committee of the Fair, and exhibitors.\n\nA tableau, representing Britannia was staged behind the dais.\n\nWhen we found, however, that we were going to put up a show four or five times as large as before, covering an area of over an acre, we felt that we need not be quite so modest. Seeing that the Empire goods shown to-day are all intended for the great market of South China, we invited the Chairman of the Kwangtung Provincial Government, Mr. Lin Yun-Koy; the Mayor of Canton, Mr. Liu Chi-Wen and Mrs. Liu Chi-Wen; the Inspector-General for Foreign Affairs for Kwantung, Kwangsi, etc., Mr. Kan Chieh-Hou and Mrs. Kan Chieh-Hou; the Commissioner of Public Safety, General Ho Lok; the Counsellor to the 1st Group Army Headquarters, Colonel C. W. Leung, the Municipal Counsellor and Secretary to the Mayor, Dr. Wu Paak-Shing and Mrs. Wu Paak-Shing; the Secretary to the Chairman of the Kwantung Government, Mr. Chow Hok-Tong and the Secretary to the Commissioner of Public Safety, Mr. W. S. Lun, to accept our hospitality and be present here to-day.\n\nTherefore it is my privilege this morning, in the first place, to welcome His Excellency the Governor, who has taken the greatest interest in this project and who kindly promised some months ago to perform the Opening Ceremony. Secondly, as this is, I think, the first large gathering which Lady Peel has attended since her recent illness, I am sure you would wish me to express on your behalf our congratulations on her recovery and our pleasure that she is here to grace the occasion.\n\n**Canton Guests.**\n\nNext I wish to thank, in the name of the General Committee of the Empire Fair, the Chairman of the Kwangtung Provincial Government, the Mayor of Canton and the other distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen from Canton who have honoured us to-day by accepting our invitation to the Fair. We trust that what they see here will be of great interest to them and that their visit will further strengthen the friendly relations between South China and Hong Kong.\n\n**Mr. Paterson's Welcome.**\n\nAddressing the gathering, the Hon. Mr. J. J. Paterson said:- Your Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen: The first Empire Fair in Hong Kong, held a year ago, though it called for a great deal of work from organisers, was smaller than the Fair we present to you to-day. We made the Opening Ceremony a local affair. I believe His Majesty's Consul-General at Canton was the only visitor from the outside world.\n\nThe Kwangtung Provincial Government, the Mayor of Canton and the other distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen from Canton who have honoured us to-day by accepting our invitation to the Fair. We trust that what they see here will be of great interest to them and that their visit will further strengthen the friendly relations between South China and Hong Kong. As the Fair has so greatly outgrown the space which the Hotel Company has so generously placed at our disposal, I have to express my regret that it is impossible to provide seats for all who are present. The best amends I can make is to be brief. Let me therefore extend a cordial welcome to His Majesty's Acting Consul-General at Canton, Mr. Jamieson and to our local guests. In particular I wish to take this opportunity of expressing, in all sincerity, grateful thanks to the hundreds of workers and exhibitors for their support. I want also to thank Mr. Taggart and the Directors of the Hongkong & Shanghai Hotels Ltd., for their invaluable assistance, the general public for their attendance and to express the hope that \"dividend warrants will soon be ready\" in the shape of a large increase of British trade as the result of this Fair.\n\nI will now call upon Major V. E. Duclos, Canadian Trade Commissioner in Hong Kong, to read a message from the Hon. H. H. Stevens, Minister of the Department of Trade and Commerce of the Dominion of Canada.\n\n**CANADA'S MESSAGE.**\n\n**Minister's Greeting Read By Major Duclos.**\n\nMajor Duclos then read the following message from The Hon. H. H. Stevens, Minister, Department of Trade & Commerce, of the Canadian Government:\n\n| Page | Content |\n| --- | --- |\n| 10 | ... |\n| 11 | ... |\n\nPage 11",

        "content_text": "1st January, 1931. These facts are:-\n\n(I) That the Unofficial Members, in June 1930, very strongly opposed such increases of salaries, and that it was then pointed out by Mr. John Owen Hughes, the then Senior European Unofficial Member (see Hansard for 1930, at p.77) that, at the exchange of 1s. 10d. such increases of salaries would result in the Colony having to pay two million dollars extra for the increases in sterling and dollar salaries.\n\n(II) That the direct consequences were (see Hansard for 1930 at pages 176 and 177) that the Government were compelled, in order to balance their Budget for 1931, to impose the following additional taxation, namely:-\n\n(1) An amusement Tax, to produce 3 lakhs of dollars.\n\n(2) Increases in light dues and in fees for Government Buoys, and in other items of revenue affecting shipping, estimated to bring in $364,000.\n\nValuable Privileges In further support of our contention, that, in the event of such a deficit unfortunately arising, the taxpayers should not share the burden with the Civil Servants, we would point out that\n\n(i) Civil Servants possess the following very valuable privileges, namely, pensions, passages for themselves and family, housing or rent allowance, privileged rates for medical attendance, continuity of employment, safety of employment and protection against arbitrary dismissal.\n\n(ii) That, as the result of the present depression, very drastic cuts of their employees, by many business houses in this Colony, have already been made in the salaries.\n\n(iii) That, in many British Colonies, in order to meet bad times, cuts in salaries or in allowances have already been made and are still in force.\n\nI am gravely perturbed at the prospect of an estimated deficit of $830,000, after taking from our surplus balances the sum of $2,095,789, thereby in one year reducing our surplus balances to a figure permitted by the Secretary of State; particularly as it follows the year 1935 in which we have already an estimated deficit of $152,966, and the year 1934 which had an actual deficit of $1,574,870. This dipping, year after year, into our surplus balances must stop, or we shall inevitably find ourselves in a most difficult position.\n\nIn 1934 we budgeted at 1/3 and were fortunate in getting an average rate of 1/6%, whilst in 1935 we budgeted at 1/4 and were lucky to experience an average rate of 2/-8. Notwithstanding these favourable rates, substantial deficits followed. To-day we are budgeting at 1/8 and who will venture to foretell the future? The exchange factor is always a problem in budgeting, but we most strongly deprecate being saddled with additional taxation.\n\n(3) The increase of the General Assessment Rate by 4%, from 13 to 17%, will bring in about one million four hundred thousand dollars.\n\nWe are convinced that a low exchange would much benefit our local industries, and would also, by causing an influx of capital for investment, tend to relieve the present abnormal stagnation in business conditions. Incidentally, too, a low dollar would improve our tourist traffic.\n\nThose additional taxes, imposed to meet those increases of salaries, are still with us, and in times of depression like the present, they are even less popular than when they were first imposed.\n\nAccordingly the Unofficial Members contend that the taxpayers of this Colony are already paying amply for those increases of salaries (which are still in force) and that, to make the taxpayers pay more in 1936 if a sharp drop in the dollar should unbalance the Budget, is a palpable injustice to the taxpayers of this Colony. In such an event, as already stated, the Civil Servants ought solely to bear the burden of such a drop, to the exclusion of the taxpayers, who have already been sufficiently mulcted.\n\nUnconstitutional\n\nAt this point somebody may ask:- \"Why do the Unofficial Members raise this protest just now, instead of waiting for the contingency to occur?\"\n\n1. Our answer to that, Sir, is that we gather, from the above-quoted passage in the Colonial Secretary's speech, that the Government has already been in communication with the Secretary of State on the subject of the possible deficit, and that the Secretary of State has, already, without the Unofficial Members of or the Finance Committee of this Council being consulted in any way, \"sanctioned\" a scheme whereby such deficit is to be met partly by additional taxation and partly by cuts in the salaries of Government Civil Servants. That procedure of the Government we object to as being unconstitutional.\n\nWe are painfully aware of the fact that the Unofficial Members of this Council are in all matters of voting in a hopeless minority, but surely that fact makes it all the more imperative that they should at least be consulted before any definite arrangement is come to with the Secretary of State for meeting a possible deficit in the finances of the Colony by means of additional taxation.\n\nPerhaps we may be told that we Unofficials shall be consulted, if the emergency in question should arise, but what a farce any such consultation must be, in view of the passage in the above-quoted speech of the Colonial Secretary, in which he says: \"The Secretary of State has already given his sanction to action on these lines\" i.e., on the lines of partly meeting such a deficit by additional taxation.\n\nIn conclusion we would add that we place great reliance upon that close co-operation between all sections of this community which has been of such marked assistance to Hongkong's progress in the past. (Applause.)\n\nEXCHANGE MENACE\n\nSir Wm. Shenton Pessimistic On Future Outlook\n\nUSE OF SURPLUSES\n\nThe Hon. Sir William Shenton, addressing the Council, said:-Sir, On a careful consideration of the Estimates, I am unable to take, in a measure, the same view of this Colony's financial position as my colleagues.\n\nIn the preparation of a Colonial Budget the following principles are, I think, fundamental:- (1) The Budget must be balanced; (2) where actual balancing is impracticable no effort must be neglected to reduce the annual deficit; (3) in framing estimates of revenue and expenditure regard should be had not only to the conditions of the moment but also to the general probabilities over a cycle of years; (4) while every effort should be made by Government to assist the recovery of trade it would not be proper to assume that recovery will be sufficiently rapid to justify regarding the present emergency as one of a purely temporary nature which can legitimately be tided over by the use of surplus balances; (5) estimates should be drawn up on the assumption that the present conditions are likely to prevail for some time to come.\n\nThe economic position which this Colony faces to-day is not only peculiar but, I believe, novel in its history.\n\nThe difficulties are obvious. We have lost the solid and natural value of silver. To-day no-one can predict what to-morrow will bring forth.\n\nFor years past the currency policy of this Colony has been to keep the value of our dollar in line with that of China. To-day the margin is such that trading becomes almost impossible. The currency of China at the moment is, I believe, no longer on silver but is a managed currency and who knows what the next move will be? The value of silver has, we are told, been artificially enhanced by the policy of the United States of America and that a continuance of this policy will provide them with most of the available stocks of this metal. Who will venture to prophesy how long this policy will be maintained?\n\nI should like to draw attention to an extract from the City Notes of the London Times of the 15th August last which states as follows \"Monetary disturbance was caused in the East when America was busy forcing up the price of silver, and now a great disturbance is being caused by a reversal of that policy. Hongkong is faced with an awkward problem for yesterday her exchange fell one penny to 1/11 being the rate below export point. Ordinarily the Hongkong authorities by modest operations in silver would have been able to correct this position, but with one large buyer exercising absolute predominance over the silver market it is impossible for the authorities to resort with the same confidence to the usual adjusting operations\".\n\nI believe the above position has arisen on more than one occasion when a flight of currency from this Colony might have taken place, but for the action of the Chief Manager of the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation. The able way in which he has controlled our currency position has met with universal appreciation.\n\nDifficult Times\n\n93",

LONDON AGENCY: 53, FLEET STREET E. C. 4.\n\n## RELIEF WORK BY WOMEN\n\nOrganised Effort For Wounded And Refugees\n\nMembers of the Chinese Women's Club in Shanghai are going to concentrate most of their energy on supplying inland hospitals with necessities, it was recently decided.\n\nThis club, although with a normal membership of only 150, can call on many friends for help in time of emergency, and has taken a most active part in relief work since the opening of hostilities. Its members include many prominent society women who display qualities of leadership and initiative when necessary.\n\nDeciding that hospitals in Shanghai are better able to canvass for supplies and comforts than those inland, members are working to make bandages, sheets, clothes, and similar necessities to be sent to hospitals between Shanghai and Nanking. There are fewer women's clubs in those towns sufficiently organized to render adequate help, while in Shanghai, this club is able to enlist many volunteer workers, including foreign friends who give their labour for making up these articles.\n\n### WARM CLOTHING\n\nThey recently sent thousands of bandages to the front and propose to send more. Warm knitted underwear is also receiving their attention, while refugee relief is another item on their list of projects. Officers of the 18th army defending the Lotien sector have requested knitted woolen sweaters, similar to those sent already with a truckload of gifts.\n\nThe club has received much support from people who know their work, and many donations of materials and money have been given by various friends. One of the most recent donations is U.S.$500 from an American woman who heard about their many charities and remitted the sum through a Chinese friend.\n\nClub headquarters are in a room of the Y.W.C.A. building, and as fast as articles are bought and made up, they are sent out in answer to numerous requests from people who are in need.\n\n## AN APPRECIATION\n\nIn connection with the Dinner Dance, held at the Hong Kong Hotel on October 8, which resulted in the sum of $6,016.85 being made available for relief work among wounded soldiers and needy refugees, the Committee of the Hong Kong Chinese Women's Soldiers' Relief Association wish to acknowledge their deep appreciation and gratitude to Mrs. Violet Chan, who presided and was largely responsible for the success of the function.\n\n## MR. ALFRED HICKS' ESTATE\n\nLocal estate to the value of $68,400 was left by the late Mr. Alfred Hicks, Editor of the Hong Kong Telegraph, who died at the age of 54 at the Infectious Diseases Hospital on September 20, 1937. A petition by Mrs. May Hicks, widow, of Repulse Bay Hotel, for grant of probate of the will of the deceased has been granted by the Supreme Court.",

        "content_text": "# THE HONG KONG WEEKLY PRESS & CRAIGENGOWER C.C. ANNUAL MEETING\n## Healthy Financial State Reported\n## MR. B. W. BRADBURY RE-ELECTED PRESIDENT\n\nMr. B. W. Bradbury was unanimously re-elected President of the Craigengower Cricket Club at the annual general meeting held in the Clubhouse on Oct. 19. Mr. C. S. Rosselet was re-elected Vice-President.\n\nIn his speech the Chairman (Mr. Bradbury) remarked on the healthy state of the Club's finances, \"You will observe that a small profit of $204.74 was made on the year's workings, but, here, I would like to explain and emphasize a very important point—and that is, for the first time, Depreciation on the Building, Furniture and Fixtures, Gear and Crockery, together with Bad Debts, have been written off your Profit and Loss Account. Last year's Balance Sheet showed a surplus of $1,148.90, but had this depreciation, etc. been written off as has been done this year, there would actually have been a deficit of $1123.59. Taking this into consideration, therefore, the small profit shown this year will be better appreciated. I think you will agree, too, that this new method of Accounting is far more satisfactory and presents a truer picture of the Club's position.\n\n\"The net Bar earnings for the year have shown a slight decrease, which, however, in no way detracts from the excellent work accomplished by Mr. Landolt and his associates. Due to the rather uncertain position of our finances, it was found expedient, during the beginning of the summer, to increase our Bar prices somewhat. The situation now having improved, no doubt a revision in these prices will shortly be considered.\n\n\"The various other accounts, as you will have observed, show very little change from last year, with the exception of Cricket, which has shown an increase.\n\n\"The sum of $130.07 written off for Bad Debts is quite a low figure and reflects considerable credit on our members.\n\n## ANXIETY CAUSED BY BUILDING REPAIRS\n\nRegarding the building, the Chairman said, \"The Building caused your Committee considerable anxiety, but with members contributing to a Building Fund, plus receipts from other sources to this account, we were able to realize sufficient funds to take care of the repairs and additions. Changes in the original plans have since resulted in an increase over the original estimate and a further sum of approximately $500.00 will be required before all the improvements desired can be accomplished.\n\nTurning to sports, he felt that they had had a satisfactory year from the Lawn Bowls standpoint. True, they did not win any League honours, but in the Colony Open competitions their members had done very well. In particular, he specially praised Mr. U. M. Omar, who he said had played brilliantly throughout the year. Their tennis section had performed satisfactorily and several of their younger members showed great promise. Their cricketers had not done well, but results were not always a fair criterion and certain of their younger members had achieved splendid individual triumphs.\n\nOn behalf of the Club, Mr. Bradbury concluded, he would like to express sympathy with the relatives of the late Mr. D. Rumjahn and the late Mr. A. Alves, both of whom passed away during the year. As a mark of respect to their memory, he asked all present to rise and remain standing for a moment.\n\nThe members thereupon rose and paid their tribute to their departed colleagues.\n\n## OFFICERS ELECTED\n\nAfter the statement of accounts had been adopted, the election of office bearers was carried out and resulted as follows:\n| Position | Name |\n| --- | --- |\n| President | B. W. Bradbury |\n| Vice-President | C. S. Rosselet |\n| Hon. Secretary | W. K. Way |\n| Hon. Treasurer | A. E. Coates |\n| Cricket Captain (First Eleven) | E. Zimmern |\n| Vice-Captain | A. B. Hamson |\n| Second Eleven Captain | Dr. C. W. Lam |\n| Vice-Captain | B. R. Iranee |\n| Committee | R. Basa, E. Zimmern, W. J. Howard, Dr. N. P. Karanjia, Dr. V. N. Atienza, A. B. Hamson, Dr. C. W. Lam, and A. E. Alves |\n\nGeneral discussion of Club matters then followed, after which the meeting concluded with a vote of thanks to the Chairman.\n\nOctober 29, 1937\n\n## SIR WM. HORNELL\n### University Staff Say Farewell\n\nThe staff of the University entertained Sir William Hornell at a farewell tea party in the Great Hall of the University yesterday. A handsome silver tray with the University coat-of-arms and a set of ivory book ends were presented to Sir William in token of appreciation of his service as Vice-Chancellor from February, 1924 to October 1937.\n\nSir William will make over charge of his office as Vice-Chancellor to Mr. D. J. Sloss, C.B.E., M.A. tomorrow and will be residing at Repulse Bay Hotel until about November 12 when he will leave for England via Canada.\n\n## REGISTRY WEDDING\n\nA quiet wedding took place at the Registry of Marriages, Supreme Court on October 22, when Miss Ng Kai Chun, of No. 78 Tung Lo Wan Road, became the bride of Mr. Chu Pak Lam, building contractor, residing at No. 47 Queen's Road East, second floor.\n\nThe ceremony was performed by Mr. W. Aneurin Jones, Deputy Registrar of Marriages, in the presence of Mr. Ng Kai Kin and Mrs. Hui Sam.\n\nThe bride is the daughter of the late Mr. Ng Sik Yue, and the groom the son of Mr. Chu Chân Wah.\n\n## LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL MEETING: OFFICIAL REPLIES\n### CHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT\n### \"SHINES LIKE GOOD DEED IN NAUGHTY WORLD\"\n\nOfficer Administering Government's Tribute To Hong Kong\n\nThe official replies to points raised by unofficial members were made by the Hon. the Colonial Secretary, the Hon. Mr. R. A. C. North, and the Officer Administering the Government Mr. N. L. Smith, at a meeting of the Legislative Council held on October 20, in the Council Chamber.\n\nIn his speech, the Hon. Mr. Smith, touching on the Sino-Japanese troubles as affecting this colony, said: \"I am reminded of a sentence in one of Mazzini's essays on historical method. 'The historian,' says he, 'must always be impartial; but he should never be indifferent.' The rights and wrongs of the present unhappy conflict can be safely left, I would suggest, to the appropriate international tribunals or even to the judgment of posterity; but, as with the ideal historian, it would be wrong for us to be indifferent to the sufferings of our near neighbours.\"\n\nHis Excellency paid tribute to the Inspector-General of Police and the people of this Colony for their good sense and steadiness during a most distressful summer.\n\n\"I venture to think that if certain spectators in Europe and in the Far East could see this Colony with our Japanese friends going about their business, quietly and unmolested, they might agree that, in this respect at least, Hong Kong 'shines like a good deed in a naughty world,'\" concluded His Excellency.\n\nThe Colonial Secretary said: \"In replying to the speeches which have been made on this motion, it will be convenient if I take the points raised in order, beginning with the speech of the Honourable the Senior Unofficial Member. If I am found to omit certain matters of importance, it is because these will be dealt with by Your Excellency later in the afternoon.\n\n## ECONOMY MEASURES\n\n\"I can assure the Council that we regret as much as anyone the absence from the list of certain works which have been entered under the heading 'Essential' for many years past.\n\n\"The main reason for their omission is, of course, economy. In normal times we might well have ventured a little further, and might even have hoped to accomplish more without increasing taxation; but, as things are, I doubt whether anyone will really blame the Government for deciding not to take the risk.\n\n\"There are in certain cases also subsidiary reasons. It is, I feel sure, wise not to embark upon such projects as a new leper asylum, a new infectious diseases hospital, even a new mental hospital, during the interregnum between the departure of one Director of Medical Services and the arrival of his successor.\n\n## NOT FINANCIALLY SOUND\n\n\"The alternative to raising additional revenue, however secured, that is to say the financing of sundry works by means of a loan, is, I am advised, a proposition that is not financially sound. There is an essential difference between a market or a water supply, both of which bring in revenue, and say a Volunteer Headquarters, which is clearly a liability. It is true that the Hong Kong Prison was a loan work, but this was only approved for very special reasons.\n\n\"The Queen Mary Hospital was built from revenue, and a request for permission to finance it from a loan was refused by the Secretary of State for the Colonies.\n\n## HEROIN FIENDS\n### \"No Punishment Too Severe For Sub-Human Creatures\"\n\nAlthough one may feel that no punishment can be too severe for those sub-human creatures who grow rich by poisoning men and women with heroin, it is doubtful whether the imposition of the punishment of flogging would help much to lessen the traffic, and the proposal has obvious objections which have been pointed out by the Secretary of State.\n\n\"It is generally speaking, the probability of being caught rather than the severity of the punishment, which deters evil-doers, and, with this end in view, the Budget contains provision for the extension of investigation through the employment of better-qualified detective officers and of an assistant to the Monopoly Analyst.\n\n\"To the searcher after economy, the proposals for the provision of an additional court at the Central Magistracy sound more alarming than they really are. Ever since I can remember, until a year or so ago, there have been three Magistrates at the Central Magistracy, the third being known as the First Clerk and Magistrate.\n\n\"It has always been the intention that a young cadet officer (as soon as one can be spared) shall take on the work as before in place of ...",

        "content_text": "(b) the half-time seconding for a part of the year of a certain number of Government Masters or Mistresses as lecturers or Masters of Method for these classes,\n\n(c) suitable arrangements for class-room accommodation for lectures, and (d) granting to lecturers the \"right of entry\" to schools in order to permit of the supervision of students while at work in their classes.\n\nGRADUATES. The product of Hong Kong University varies as does that of any other Training Centre; but I think it is generally agreed that many local Graduates in Arts (Teaching) have proved themselves capable of teaching their own subjects in all classes of Hong Kong Primary and Secondary Schools.\n\nNeedless to say, a young Hong Kong Graduate Teacher requires assistance and advice; in the same way so does the young graduate in any other country and in any other profession. The charge has been levelled, and in some cases I think justifiably, that the standard of colloquial English of the University Trained Teacher is not as high as it should be. If this is so, and in a few cases I have found it to be so, then the fault lies with the University authorities who either accept immature material or allow the English of suitable matriculants to deteriorate.\n\nI suggest that some distinction should be drawn between the training given to teachers who will be employed in Primary Schools and that given to those in training for posts in Secondary Schools. A degree should be insisted on for both; but the Primary Teacher should follow a course such as in British Universities would lead to an Ordinary Degree, and an Honours type of Degree should be required of those granted certification for teaching in Secondary Schools. An ordinary degree would embrace a greater variety of subjects; and the Honours or Secondary Teachers' Course require a lesser number but more intensive study in each. Alternatively or additionally there might be a differentiation in the Professional Training, i.e., in the selection of subjects in which instruction is given regarding \"Methods of Teaching\".\n\nI now wish to return to the subject of Vernacular Teachers.\n\nSome years ago, a small committee of inquiry sat under Sir Wm. Brunyate, and, as a result, one or two Government Scholars were definitely ear-marked as prospective teachers of Chinese, though I think, not necessarily solely of Chinese. I suggest that this scheme be again considered by the Director of Education and the University, and that an Arts course for \"Teachers of Chinese\" should be instituted. Thus, and I think only thus, will a satisfactory type of Vernacular Teacher be produced. In this connexion I should point out that, in Government service, the maximum salaries are the same for University Trained Masters, Anglo-Chinese Masters and Vernacular Masters.\n\nPage 15\n\n1. The standard of admission, previously the Hong Kong University School Certificate Examination should be altered to the Hong Kong School Certificate Examination.\n\n2. The Method Lecturer should be required and empowered to visit all students in their respective schools, observe them at work before classes, and render advice and help. Any Student Teacher in the First Year who evinced no signs of ever developing into a useful member of the profession should be advised to seek other occupation, and, in any case, refused permission to attend further E.I. Classes.\n\nThe co-operation of Heads of Schools should be solicited in this matter, and attention invited to the necessity of supervising Record Books and Notes of Lessons. All or most of the lectures of these classes ought to be held in School Hours. To avoid undue depletion of Student Teacher Staff from schools, it would be advisable to hold lectures for only one Year at any one time.\n\n3.\n\n4. The Course of Lectures in Method and Class Management should be revised with a view to emphasizing the instruction in the Teaching of English as a foreign language. In this connexion the study of English Literature could be much reduced and the resultant available lecture time devoted to Speech Training, which would include the elementary principles of Phonetics.\n\n5.\n\nThe discussion in class of the General Principles underlying Educational Practice should follow, and not precede, instruction in the Methods of teaching various ordinary school subjects, viz., English, Arithmetic, Geography and History. The curriculum should be altered accordingly.\n\n6. Model and Criticism Lessons should be held occasionally in all years, and more especially in the 3rd year. The annual examination in the latter should continue to embrace a test in Practical Teaching.\n\n7. An Oral Test in English should be an essential part of the Annual Examination in each year.\n\n8. A revision of the Syllabus on the above lines should be drawn up by the Director on the basis of suggestions from the lecturers and brought into use next term, i.e., Autumn 1938.\n\nJ. RALSTON, Director, Evening Institute. 11th March, 1938.\n\nJ. RALSTON, Inspector of English Schools, 7th April, 1938.\n\n\"B\"\n\n\"A\"\n\nAfter the Results of the Annual Examination of the Evening Institute Teachers' Class (English) had been received by me from the examiner, Mr. Rowell, I convened an informal meeting for the consideration of these results and the Curriculum and Course of Study generally. This meeting was held on February 17th, 1938.\n\nMessrs. Sollis, Ralston, Rowell, Wilson, Rees and Dyer were present, and the following recommendations were agreed upon unanimously:\n\nTEACHERS' CLASSES (ENGLISH).\n\nThese Classes are for both men and women Teachers. The Certificate granted at the end of the course is recognized by the Government, and the holder classified as \"Passed Student Teacher\". Instruction is given in Oral English, English Language and Literature, Psychology, School Method and Hygiene.\n\nStudents may be admitted to these classes although not actually engaged in the Teaching Profession; but all entrants must have passed the Hong Kong School Certificate Examination, or an equivalent examination. No student may proceed to a Second or a Third Year Class until the previous examination has been passed, with the following exceptions:-\n\nPage 42\n\nPage 40\n\nPage 41\n\nPage 43",

        "content_text": "# SOUTH CHINA MORNING POST\n## 23rd MARCH, 1944\n### UNIVERSITY CEREMONY\n\n**Degrees Conferred On Medical Graduates In Great Hall Ruins**\n**C-IN-C SPEAKS ON CIVIC SENSE**\n\nIn the ruined, roofless Great Hall of the Hongkong University, the Degree of Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery was conferred upon 23 candidates by the University of Hongkong Medical Degrees Emergency Committee yesterday.\n\nThe Degree was also conferred upon 10 candidates \"in absentia.\"\n\nThe ceremony—the first held for four years—was without the usual pomp and splendour of former years, but was nevertheless impressive.\n\nIn an address the C-in-C, Hongkong, Vice-Admiral Sir Cecil Harcourt, said that every effort was being made to open the University for first-year classes in October. He also spoke on the importance of self-discipline which was, he said, the equivalent of civic sense. \"For it is only by the gaining of this civic sense that stable self-government can be achieved... Only in this way can genuine self-government be established in Hongkong and the people be prosperous, happy and free,\" he declared.\n\nThe candidates present were: Au Wai-man, Au Kit-man, Bun Pak-sun, Chan Sing-boon, Chan Wai-kai, Ho Hung-kin, Ip Yee, Lam Tang Wong Shu-kee, Leung Yau-shun, Li Hin-lun, Li Fook-kuen, Ling Tak-chu, Loke Choong-she, Look Mang-wai, Oh Kim-seng, Tong Hon-chiu, Tong Kwok-kee, Mook-foo, Wong Siao-bu, Wu Kay-hau, Yap Meow-foo, Yeoh Oon-thor, and Yu Shiu-on. Those honoured \"in absentia\" were: Cheung King-ho, Fung Kam-tat, Hooi Peng-kwan, Hui Kwan-lun, Kaan Sze-kin, Lam Yu-shing, Siu Ka-hee, Tan Kim-hoang, Tsai Kam-fong, and Yap Jin-yau.\n\nThe University lacked the machinery for awarding and conferring degrees. Obviously something had to be done about it. His Majesty the King in Council decided, just as less august bodies decide when in difficulties, that there must be a committee to deal with the matter.\n\nAccordingly, it was ordered that there should be constituted a Committee, to be known as the University of Hongkong Medical Degrees Emergency Committee. This Committee was empowered to exercise, in so far as they relate to medicine and surgery, the powers of the Senate of the University to determine what examinations and courses of study in other universities or places of learning should be deemed equivalent to examinations and courses of study in the University of Hongkong.\n\nAmong those present were Sir Shouson Chow, the Right Rev. Bishop R.O. Hall, Mr Leo D'Almada, Sir Robert Kotewall, Lieut-Col Wm Kay, Mr M.K. Lo, Dr and Mrs G.H. Thomas, Mr S.A. Gray (PRO), Col W.T. Ware, Mr Mok Kon-sang, Mr George She, Major D.F. Davis, Mr Chau Tsun-nin, the Rev. Frank Short, Major R. Lee, Major H.L. Ozorio, Mr and Mrs B.C.K. Hawkins, the Rev Cheung Wing-ngok, and a large number of University undergraduates.\n\nMembers of the University of Hongkong Medical Degrees Emergency Committee were Mr T.M. Hazelrigg (Chairman), Mr G.P. de Martin, Col J.P. Fehily, Col T.R. Rowell, Lieut-Col Gordon King, and Mr B.C.K. Hawkins.\n\nThe once Great Hall is a skeleton structure with only the bare walls standing. The window frames, the wooden flooring, and every vestige of woodwork have been looted. The roof has been removed and only the iron rafters now hold the walls together. Where flags and pennants hung on doorways, empty gaps now greet the eye.\n\n### Chairman's Address\n\nI wish to make it quite clear that each candidate for a degree must, as heretofore, have completed a five years' course of study at a University or place of learning, including at least two years at the University of Hongkong, and that no degree can be conferred without examination.\n\nThe principal function of the Committee has been to ensure that the course of study completed and the examinations passed by the candidates were equivalent to the comparable courses of study and examinations at the University of Hongkong.\n\nIn respect of each of the candidates upon whom degrees will be conferred to-day, the Committee is satisfied that the requirements of the Statutes of the University and of the Order of His Majesty in Council have been fulfilled.\n\nOne final point. It is particularly declared by the Order in Council that degrees conferred in accordance with its provisions shall be deemed to have been conferred at a Congregation of the whole University.\n\nShortly before 3 p.m., the Procession, headed by the successful candidates, and followed by Sir Cecil and members of the Emergency Committee, entered the Hall. The candidates took seats on either side of the Hall while Sir Cecil and the Emergency Committee took their positions at the official table, which was unadorned and without a covering.\n\nAfter he had declared the gathering open, Mr Hazelrigg said:\n\nWe are fortunate in having with us to-day Mr G.P. de Martin, who at one time acted as Registrar of this University and who is, I believe, the oldest surviving member of its Court. Mr de Martin has kindly consented to support the Committee, and I now call upon him to address the Meeting. (Applause).\n\nMr de Martin said: Before concluding this part of to-day's proceedings, it is my privilege to thank our visitors for their presence here. By joining with us in this necessarily truncated function, you bring with you a message of friendship and encouragement.\n\nThe events of December 1941 disrupted the lives of the undergraduates and called a halt to the activities of this University. Many of the undergraduates, however, escaped into China and pursued their studies in the Chinese Universities amid great difficulties. Some of the medical students, after passing their examinations, went on to render valuable services in their profession.\n\nWhen the dark days ended, the University career of these students was consummated by the conferment of degrees.\n\n### The King's Recognition\n(Continued on Page 8)",
