It is a marked indication of the indispensable necessity of carefully attending to the importation of a foreign, and indeed an artificial article, such as that of tea, that in some countries in Europe the use of the tea was formerly considerable, even when its price was great and the difficulty in procuring it enhanced; but now, when freight, insurance, &c. is low, and tea exceedingly cheap, that the importation is so extraordinarily lessened. Sweden offers a confirmation of this remark, as the following Table demonstrates; at present, I believe, there is very little tea imported.\n\nThe Swedes perhaps thought as the poet did in the two concluding lines of the following extract from the \"Dessert,\" a poem published in 1819:\n\nEnlivening, mild, and sociable tea!\n\nScandal compelling Green, Pekoe, Bohea;\n\nWithout thee once Philosophy could write,\n\nAnd Wisdom's pen the moral indite;\n\nWithout thee Themostetes their laws enacted;\n\nWithout thee thought, and taught, and dreamt, and acted:\n\nWith this celestial gift, how strange that we\n\nShould neither better eat, nor drink, nor think, nor see.\"\n\nIt is observed that there is no government duty to enhance the cost, and the prices given by the consul are for Hyson Skin 2s. per lb., and for Souchong 2s. 9d.\n\n## Appendix\n\n## Report on the Tea Trade\n\n\"The consumption of tea in this government is so insignificant as to warrant the assertion, that it is scarcely to be considered as an object of trade. It is used more as a medicine than as a necessary article of subsistence, or an agreeable beverage, except by the English families here resident, and a few others in the higher circles.\n\n\"The importation in British vessels is limited to small parcels brought by masters of ships, and I am credibly informed has not amounted to 1,000 lbs. during the last nine years, the period I have been in office. A more considerable quantity (about 3,000 lbs.) was imported some years ago in an American ship, and left in commission with an English house here, but the greater part, notwithstanding the extreme lowness of the prices, still remains unsold, and I am assured that it is very doubtful whether wholesale buyers could be found for it at a reduction of 30 per cent.\n\n\"In the city and liberties of Trieste, which is a free port, and also in Istria, as being beyond the line of customhouses, there are no duties on tea or any other articles of merchandize. There was, indeed, till lately, a duty of one half per cent. ad valorem, which has now ceased, the object for which it was levied, viz. to pay the debts contracted by the municipality during the war, being accomplished***\n\nThe consul at Leghorn states that the consumption of tea in Tuscany is chiefly confined to foreigners who reside in Florence and Leghorn, the natives only using it medicinally. In Genoa the consumption is a few hundred pounds weight.\n\nIn Mr. Money the consul-general's return, I find the following statement of the total importation into the Austrian ports of the Adriatic:\n\nTOWNS\nQUANTITIES OF TEA IMPORTED\n\nVenice\nHave not averaged more than two cwt. per annum in the last 10 years.\n\nTrieste\nAbout five cwt. per annum, being little in use except by British residents.\n\nFiume\nDo not exceed from 100 to 150 lbs. per year.\n\nRagusa\nVery inconsiderable.\n\nIn the foregoing mentioned States tea is cheap; there are little or no duties. From Palermo the consul-general writes, \"The consumption of tea in the island of Sicily is very trifling, about 20 chests per annum; the Sicilians seldom make use of it except in illness as a medicine, and that of a very inferior quality; it is chiefly imported from the United States of America.\"\n\nIn the kingdom of Naples, it appears from the two years' returns forwarded by the consul-general, there has been a decrease:\n\nYEARS\nQUANTITY\nYEARS\nQUANTITY\n\n1767\n3,066,143 Lbs.\n1787\n2,890,900 Lbs.\n\n1768\n3,186,220\n1788\n2,589,000\n\n1769\n1,494,509\n1789\n\n1770\n3,076,642\n1790\n\n1771\n2,984,361\n1791\n\n1772\n2,746,800\n1792\n1,591,330\n\n1773\n1,489,700\n1793\n1,559,730\n\n1774\n4,088,100\n1794\n\n1775\n2,562,500\n1795\n756,130\n\n1776\n3,049,100\n1796\n2,759,800\n\n1777\n2,851,200\n1797\n\n1778\n3,258,000\n1798\n1,406,200\n\n1779\n2,626,400\n1799\n1,408,400\n\n1780\n4,108,900\n1800\n444,800\n\n1781\n3,267,300\n1801\n2,022,400\n\n1782\n4,265,600\n1802\n\n1783\n4,878,900\n1803\n1,427,067\n\n1784\n\n1804\n2,852,666\n\n1785\n6,212,400\n1805\n\n1786\n1,747,700\n1806\n\nTotal\n60,960,475 Lbs.\nTotal\n21,208,423 Lbs.\n\n1826\n5,961\n\n1827\n3,419\n\nDecrease\n2,542\n\nThe following is a return of the quantity of tea exported from Canton, by the Prussians, at the end of the last and beginning of the present century:\n\nExportation of\nLbs.\n\nFirst Period\n60,960,475\n\nLast Period\n21,208,423\n\nDecrease\n39,752,052\n\nTrieste presents a still more conclusive fact.

In 1829, the consul-general at Dantzic regrets it is not in his power to get any information of the tea trade there, or in Berlin; that in fact there is no wholesale trade in teas.\n\nAt Frankfort, the consul-general observes, \"The quantity of tea cannot exactly be ascertained, as no consumption duty is levied, 10d. per cwt. not deserving that denomination.\"\n\nYear\nCwts.\n\n1779\n1,375,900\n\n1780\n317,700\n\n1782\n933,300\n\n1783\n3,428,400\n\n1792\n393,870\n\n1817\n380\n\n1826\n112\n\nDecrease\n268\n\nThe following letter from the British Consul at Trieste, in 1828, to the Foreign Department, relates to the consumption of tea there, and shows the effect of American speculation, to the extent of 3,000lbs., some years ago, which still remain unsold.

At some stations, like, for instance, the Australian Colonies, all victualling stores are certainly supplied by the Commissariat for naval purposes; but the issues are confined to perhaps two or three small vessels in the course of a year, and conducted under the Commissariat regulations, which are drawn up with reference to military authority alone; while at this station there are now one line of battle-ship, one frigate, three war-steamers, four or five sloops of war, a store-ship, and one for hospital purposes, with a naval Commander-in-chief, who, together with the Lords of the Admiralty, might not in transactions of such magnitude and importance as must thus arise, like to depend altogether upon any department not under their own immediate authority and control.\n\nI have, &c.

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

The text contains numerous errors, including spelling mistakes, spacing issues, and what seems to be a mix of unrelated content.\n\n## Step 2: Apply the rules for OCR proofreading to correct the text.\nFirst, let's correct spelling errors and fix spacing issues:\n- \"Ner Meniale..\" could be a name or a misrecognized word.\n- \"queries much I think be referred the God In explanation ?\" seems to be a sentence with several errors.\n- \"3 Soups El\" is unclear; it might be \"3 Souls El\" or another phrase.\n- \"Hough year Estimator\" is likely \"Hong Kong Estimator\" or a similar phrase related to budget or financial estimation.\n- \"turmely the expended, Puble works\" could be \"truly the expenditure, Public works\".\n- \"comm of the your\" is unclear; it might be \"committee of yours\" or another phrase.\n- \"Saffs that suel in mis shi Lan\" is highly corrupted and difficult to decipher.\n- \"Am Jan 2 en former years\" seems to refer to \"on January 2 in former years\".\n- \"hat actually Shpender Tite aftendard\" is likely \"that actually spent the amount afterwards\".\n- \"Call Mar. attention to the prem adout to Reasonga Auril 242\" seems to be \"Call March attention to the premium about to Reasons April 242\", but this is still unclear.\n- \"654 Forest Officer Law AGEN\" might be a reference to a law or regulation related to a forest officer.\n- \"Departments Military Boury Land for de 1607\" seems to be \"Departments Military Boundary Land for the 1607\", possibly referring to a historical or administrative context.\n\n## Step 3: Reconstruct the text according to the rules.\nLet's attempt to reconstruct and correct the text while adhering to the rules:\n1. Correct spelling and spacing.\n2. Rejoin broken sentences.\n3. Restore paragraph breaks.\n\nGiven the text's condition, a direct correction is challenging without understanding the original context. However, we can still apply basic corrections.\n\n## Step 4: Output the corrected text in the required HTML format.\nAfter applying the corrections and considering the rules for OCR proofreading:\n\nNer Meniale..\n\nThe queries, I think, should be referred to God in explanation?\n\nto the 3 Souls El I suggested in animation on the Hong Kong Estimator for this ought to contain truly the expenditure, Public works in the committee of yours...\n\nthat other rest.

Given the rules and guidelines provided, I will attempt to process the text.\n\n## Step 1: Identify the Language and Content\nThe text appears to be a mix of languages and does not form coherent sentences or paragraphs in any single language. It seems to be a result of OCR processing errors, possibly from a scanned document or image that contained text in multiple languages and scripts.\n\n## Step 2: Apply OCR Proofreading Rules\nGiven the rules, the primary task is to correct spelling errors, fix spacing issues, and rejoin broken sentences where possible, without rephrasing or rewriting the content.\n\n## Step 3: Analyze the Text\nUpon closer inspection, the text is heavily corrupted and does not seem to contain meaningful content that can be corrected or reformed into coherent paragraphs or sentences without significant context or understanding of the original document.\n\n## Step 4: Attempt to Format and Correct\nHowever, since the text is a mix of languages and is heavily corrupted, directly applying the rules to correct spelling, fix spacing, and rejoin sentences is challenging. The text does not seem to follow a logical structure or contain identifiable historical records related to Hong Kong in a coherent manner.\n\n## Step 5: Consider the Rules for Output\nThe output should be in HTML format using `` for paragraphs and `\n` only when necessary. The task requires preserving the original character, space, line break, and page number information except for corrections.\n\n## Step 6: Realize the Limitation\nGiven the state of the input text, it's not feasible to produce a meaningful output that adheres to the guidelines without more context or a clearer understanding of the original document's content and structure.\n\n## Step 7: Output\nSince the input is not coherent and does not allow for straightforward application of the rules, and given the instruction to output in HTML, the most straightforward approach is to wrap the processed text in HTML paragraph tags. However, due to the nature of the input, significant manual correction or interpretation would be required to make it meaningful.\n\nAGEN Law Officers %100 1 arreed the excel tion /י Eulent chiptirung bis überge cleve and collige Brough the funer Baveler's cate رده به چری ہے کے fuis montly as longin ود. جود رہے ره performed دعو c le & colony like Stangbang Eighty when the Clinics & ا تو دورو دورو دور خو کرده روزها Zame y the holander or نیره پیر is sufficient & مک به ر مام → چرا گریه در بره letters ده hase Coagr Cella دی ہے کہ ہونے کا دین کے letter if we Hex circustands وجود دارد thuught it the settlerday of the chole subtle, if Claude می دا تر (Le ہے کی سی ہے Leas ه با کار و دار با نار رخورد دیون ها Winchest, would rabatt ly ود دیگم نے ہم کر تی ہے۔ ہر کسے حمدی Puyal!) inflich. emale bjoctoni de 1977 Ron? ch.

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

The 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.

I told him that I had not paid all the purchase-money for the property bought from Woods; I told Assow that Mr. Caldwell had written to me to come back from Macao, and he would transfer the leases. When I came back, Mr. Caldwell said that I must wait a little as he was busy. I told Assow I had a fear that the creditors of Mr. Caldwell might get back the lots and sell them. This happened about the middle of last month (May). I have pressed Mr. Caldwell to complete the transfer.\n\nMr. Caldwell negotiated the purchase. I paid him $2,000 first in sums of $1,000 each, leaving a balance of $1,000, and I got Mr. Caldwell to get back $500 of the last payment, so that $1,500 should remain on interest. Mr. Caldwell told me that the property had been mortgaged, and not that he had not got back the papers; but Mr. Caldwell had never refused to complete the transfer. The 15 houses from Mr. Woods were bought in November.\n\nWhen I bought the first 10 houses, I got a document (a bill of sale) from Mr. Caldwell, but did not get the new lease. I told Mr. Caldwell that I did not understand the business and wished the matter put into a lawyer's hands. Mr. Stace was employed. The bill of sale was in Chinese. All the transactions were on my own account.\n\nOf the 15 houses bought from Mr. Woods, my brother Ah Chew receives the rents. I know a woman called Chew Alai; she lives at Macao. I gave her 3 of the houses out of the lot of 10. She did not pay me anything. I gave them to her; she is my concubine, and I wanted to settle these houses on her. I did not give Mr. Stace any instructions, but left Mr. Caldwell to do so, that the 10 and 4 houses might be transferred in the usual way. I wanted the 3 houses transferred to Chew Alai if it could be done as I wished, and if not, no matter.\n\nThe old leases were given to Mr. Stace, but I hold some older ones. I did not give the bill of sale to Mr. Stace as it was in Chinese, and Mr. Caldwell said that he would give an English one. I know Mak Afook; he collects rents for me.\n\nWith reference to the 10 houses, Mak Afook gives me $30 a-month rent for them. As to the 4, Mak Afook has nothing to do with them; Szekai collects the rent on them; he pays me $50 for them per month.\n\nI was absent from Hongkong at China New Year (February last) and went to my own country. Before I left, I told Szekai to pay the ground-rent; I told him he was to ask the old master about the payment; I meant Mr. Caldwell. Since the 11th month (December) of last year, I have been in possession of the houses and have not paid Mr. Caldwell anything. I pay the interest to Mr. Woods. I do not owe Mr. Caldwell anything for these houses. There is no arrangement by which I am to pay Mr. Caldwell on account of rents on these houses. Mr. Caldwell has not the slightest interest in any of the houses.\n\nRe-examined, I had no security for the $2,000 lent to Mr. Caldwell. I had an acknowledgment in English writing, stating that the interest was $25 per mille per month. I had no receipt for the $1,500 lent on account of my friend. Achoy-eu, a person in California, was the friend whose money I lent; he told me, if I had a suitable opportunity, to buy opium; as I found none, I lent the money at call, and therefore there was to be no interest. I know Assow, the road surveyor, but never told him that I was a poor man.\n\nThe three houses given to Chew Alai were not to be given to herself forever but only so long as she behaved well. I was not to get the rent for them. When I bought them, they were shops, not brothels. They are not brothels now.\n\nI do not know Chun Atsoo. I do not know that Mr. Caldwell knows Chew Alai, but I have mentioned her name to him.\n\nBy Chairman, The old lease papers are at my house - 3 or 4.

Have lived there since December. The lower tenants are new arrivals. Sell fruit and vegetables. Pay $6 a-month rent. The agents collect the rent at my house - Achew is the collector. Do not know whether it is his house or not. Have heard of Mr. Caldwell - do not know him; have never seen him before. Have seen Mr. Lyons about my neighbourhood taking notes. Have had no conversation with him yesterday, nor through an interpreter. Did not tell a lookong that Mr. Caldwell was the owner of my house.\n\nI have a book of rents collected from the tenants.\n\nI collected rents for Mr. Caldwell on 22 houses by contract, paying him $85 per month - and I collected rent on 3 houses, paying him the same direct. One was $25, one was $22, and one was $20. At the time when I was collecting, there were no brothels, but there is one now.\n\nI have known Lum Ateen since last year when I commenced collecting rents for him; before that time, I had seen him, but had had no dealings with him. In the 9th moon of last year, Caldwell told me that he was going to keep back one house as a hospital, and in the 10th moon that I was to collect all the rents, as he would no longer own them in the 11th moon. Mr. Caldwell said that some person wanted the house for a hospital. When Mr. Caldwell told me about the house which was to be occupied as a hospital, I understood that I was no longer to collect the rent of it. It was Mr. Caldwell who, in the beginning, appointed me to collect the rents. On the 17th December, Mr. Caldwell said he would recommend me to Lum Ateen, who would perhaps employ me.\n\nI have continued to collect the rents of 10 of the houses as agent for Lum Ateen; for eight of them, I contract to pay $55, and the rents of the other two are $20 and $22, as already stated, which is paid to Lum Ateen. Lum Ateen collects the rent of the other twelve through his own men. I know that Lum Ateen bought the 10 houses from Mr. Caldwell. I know that the fifteen houses were sold at auction to Mr. Woods. I am certain that I contract for eight of the houses and pay $55 for them. I do not know Chew Alai, but have heard her name. I have contracted for the eight houses from the 17th December. Seven of the houses are taken at $30 a month, and one at $25. I do not pay the Ground-rent; I believe Lum Ateen does.\n\nI was at Low-ah-fong's house yesterday when he was with Mr. Lyons. I asked her the Number of her house and to whom did she pay house rent; some said house rent was paid to Lum Ateen, some to Chew, some to Cheong Assow, some to Lai Sze-kai; some said they paid rent to Sam-kwei - Mr. Caldwell; Low-ah-fong said that she paid rent to Mr. Caldwell; several people said that they paid it to Mr. Caldwell, but I only recollect this woman.\n\n## AH HEEM, Lookong\n\nCalled and examined.\n\nMr...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-068 - Sir Bowring - 1858 [5-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 244720, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-068 - Sir Bowring - 1858 [5-12]", "page_number": 462, "title": "CO129-068 - Sir Bowring - 1858 [5-12]", "content_text": "(14)\n\n(15)\n\n459\n\nto collect the rents.

He came to my house about half-past 7 this morning of his own accord, and said, \"If any gentleman comes asking you, don't tell that this house belongs to Mr Caldwell. Say that it belongs to Mrs Caldwell, or a relation.\"\n\n[Mr Caldwell admits that he receives the rent of the house, but denies the ownership. He also admits that he is the reputed owner, or in other words, that people suppose him to be the owner.]\n\nI told him that the policeman had asked me who the owner of the house was, and that I told the policeman the comprador had told me the house belonged to Mr Caldwell. The comprador did not tell me that if anyone asked who the owner of the house was I was not to say Mr Caldwell. This conversation was in Manila language.\n\n**CHUN SAMCHUN**,-Called and examined. I am a broker, and reside in house No. 331; the number of the ground lot I don't know. I have lived there ten days, and took the house from a person called Lum Ateen, or rather his collector of the same surname who lives at the Cho Sow Tong. I know Mr Caldwell, but have not seen him at my residence. I do not know about Mr Caldwell having any interest in the house.\n\n**CHOU AH-CHEE**,-Recalled. I have brought my rent book. [Book examined, and found to contain entries beginning 20th December last, of $16 rent, paid to and acknowledged by Yee Wo.] Afook is the master of the Yee Wo shop.\n\n**FONG WEIKAI**,-Occupant of inland lot 250, and house 411,-Called and examined. I have occupied the house a few days, and took it from Yee Wo.\n\n**WONG AOON**,-Called and examined. I have occupied my present house (the same house as last witness) two months. I took it from Yee Wo. I do not know who the owner of the house is.\n\n**HO ACHOONG**,-Called and examined. No part of the house in which I live is used as a brothel. There is no brothel on the side of the street in which I live; there is one over the way. The comprador once said that unless I could pay every month I should be turned out. One time he took me down to Mr Caldwell's office. I have lived in the same house as last witness since the 15th January last. I took it from Yee Wo Fook, to whom my boarders pay the rent. I do not know to whom he pays it, nor who the owner of the house is. I said to Mr Caldwell, \"Excuse me this time, as soon as I get ships I will pay.\" Mr Caldwell said, \"I have nothing to do with it; you had better speak to the comprador.\" The comprador said, that I must pay or seek another house. On the 20th of this month I shall owe one month's rent; all the rest has been paid.\n\n**JOHN LYONS**.-Recalled. I have looked at the plan of houses in this colony, and find that house 300 is on lot 204. There are other 5 houses on the same lot, none of which are to my knowledge brothels. The other houses in this lot are numbered 301, 299, 249, 250, 248. Laurenço Pablo lives in a house 248 Lascar Upper Row, No. of license 22.\n\n**LAURENCO PABLO**.-Called and examined. I live in Lascar Upper Row, behind the house of Ribeiro. I keep a Boarding House, and have lived there sixteen months. I took the house of Mr Caldwell's comprador-Lai Sze-kai, who told me that Mr Caldwell was the owner. I pay the rent to the comprador, and last saw him at half-past 7 this morning, at which time he came to my house voluntarily. He asked me what the policeman had said to me, and I told...\n\n**LEONG CHEWKWONG**,-(Lot 204, house 301, Hollywood Road,)-Called and examined. I have occupied this house since the 24th December last, took it from Lai Sze-kai, master of the Tai Cheong shop. I pay the rent to him. He says that he collects the rent for a relation. He has never used Mr Caldwell's name in connection with it.\n\n**CH'UN KUNHEE**,-(Lot 204, house 299,)-Called and examined. I have lived in this house two years. I rented it from Lai Sze-kai of the Tai Cheong shop. I never paid any rent to Mr Caldwell.\n\n[The Commissioners at the request of Mr May proceeded to examine two witnesses on reference to charge \"4 in the second branch of the inquiry. Their evidence will be found printed with the rest of the evidence on the same charge.]\n\nAdjourned to 1 P.M. on the 3d.\n\n## FIFTH DAY,\nThursday, 3d June, 1858. Present,-All the Members.\n\n**GEORGE COOPER TURNER**,-Called and examined. I am a Solicitor in this colony. In December last I was, and still am, Solicitor to the Attorney General. Upon reference to document (M) I can state that, on the 3d January, 1857, I, as Solicitor for the Attorney General, obtained a transfer into his name in the land office, of lots 475, 476, 477, 478, 480, 483, 484, 485, and 507. These lots had been purchased by him from Mr Caldwell. Mr Anstey was very desirous in the latter end of December last, of selling these lots, and I applied to Mr Caldwell to point out where... I think at that time Mr Caldwell said, that he had a friend who was very anxious to buy one of these lots. When I replied, that I did not think it likely that the Attorney General would sell any one particular lot, as he wanted to get rid of the whole together. I made some enquiry as to the lot Mr Caldwell's friend wished to buy, and called on him afterwards to tell him, that the Attorney General would not sell any one lot; the purchaser, if he bought, must take the whole. The lot Mr Caldwell wished to buy was one near the Kulan obelisk; the others are in the neighbourhood of East Point. The whole were afterwards sold to Mr Strachan.\n\nI have collected rents for Mr Caldwell for 11 houses besides. They are not sold I know of my own knowledge that these houses belonged to a sister of Mrs Caldwell, whose name I do not know Chun Atsoo; I know they are the property of Mrs Caldwell's sister, because Mrs Caldwell told me so, and at one time offered to let them to me. Mrs Caldwell managed the affairs of this property. The rents of these 11 houses are paid to Mrs Caldwell, and have always been since I collected them. I collected rent on any other lots for Mrs Caldwell. In the month of February last, I spoke to Mr Caldwell concerning the payment of ground rent on Lum Ateen's property. Lum Ateen was going home he told me to pay the ground rents for him; I said, that I did not know what amount. I had to pay; Lum Ateen told me, I might go to my old master-Mr Caldwell-about it. I went to Mr Caldwell in the month of February, and asked him to give me a note for me to go and pay ground rents. Mr Caldwell told me that he himself was going to pay ground rents, and would wait till Lum Ateen's return, and hand the receipts over to him. He told me that the receipts were at the office; he would get them by and by. I know a Boarding House keeper in Hollywood Road called Tomas. I let him the house in which he lives. I saw him yesterday morning. I said to him, and all the Chinese tenants, \"Don't be afraid; if any inquiry be made, you may say that the houses belong to my mistress [Mrs Caldwell].\"\n\nCross-examined,-Mr Caldwell did not, at the time of the conversation with him, mention the name of the friend; nor do I know for whom the lot was wanted.\n\n**LAI SZE KAI**,-Called and examined. I was Comprador to Mr Caldwell. I ceased to be Comprador from the time Mr Caldwell ceased to be master of the `Eaglet`, about two years ago. Since then I have been partner with Low Ateem in a shop, and now myself keep a shop which is in Stanley Street. When I was Comprador to Mr Caldwell I went with the steamer; I also collected rents. I have had charge of four houses, but I do not know the numbers of the ground lots on which they stand. [The lot referred to is 197.] The present occupants are Lee Koon-tai, Ngow Poo, Chew Angee, Ch'o Ngu, Akwun, who keeps a Chair shop, and Yew Aon-there are eight tenants altogether. I received rents for Mr Caldwell until I went on board the steamer as Comprador, after which I believe Mr Caldwell's cook was collector. After I left the steamer I again collected rents for Mr Caldwell, and continued to do so up to the middle of December last, when the houses were sold to Lum Ateen, after that time I collected them for Lum Ateen as some of them still owed rent.\n\nI delivered to Mr Caldwell the rents as I collected them. When I was collector, for Mr Caldwell, the rents amounted to about $49 a month. The previous evening I went to collect the rents. I was not going to let the houses to them. One of the tenants came to me next morning, and so I went to all. They said some constables had been making inquiry as to the names and occupations of the tenants, and that this was their reason for being frightened.\n\nCross-examined,-The amount of rent due upon the four houses when they were transferred to Lum Ateen in December, was about $70; there is none of this due now. I was in Gaol about the 4th moon of last year, about a debt of my partner. I was 6 or 7 days in Gaol. I have never been in Gaol on a criminal charge. I do not know Chew Alai-nor have I heard the name; neither do I know Chun Atsoo. I had an interview with Mrs Caldwell's sister at Macao, about 4 years ago; I do not know her name. I do not know if she has a sister living in Hongkong. Six of the eleven houses are near the Joss-house in Hollywood Road, and the other are in Queen's Road West. It was after I left the steamer in July, 1856, that Mrs Caldwell offered to let me the houses. I have known Lum Ateen 3 years.\n\n| Name | House No. | Lot No. | Remarks |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Tomas Bernardo Ribeiro | 300 | 204 | Boarding House keeper |\n| Leong Chewkwong | 301 | 204 | Paid rent to Lai Sze-kai |\n| Ch'un Kunhee | 299 | 204 | Rented from Lai Sze-kai |\n| Fong Weikai | 411 | 250 | Took house from Yee Wo |\n| Wong Aoon | - | - | Took house from Yee Wo |\n| Ho Achoong | - | - | Paid rent to Yee Wo Fook |", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-068 - Sir Bowring - 1858 [5-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 244749, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-068 - Sir Bowring - 1858 [5-12]", "page_number": 491, "title": "CO129-068 - Sir Bowring - 1858 [5-12]", "content_text": "## 488 \n\n(72) \n\nany \n\n+ Re-examined,—I went from here to Canton in a lorcha belonging to Ma-chow Wong, in October or November 1856. About a week after I was evidence for a man named Leong Ahee, who was charged with piracy. Mr Anstey allowed me to be examined, and afterwards told the Court my evidence could not be taken. I was a passenger on board this lorcha, belonging to Ma-chow Wong. I never sailed or served in a vessel which I knew to belong to Mr Caldwell or Ma-chow Wong, or in any vessel in which to my knowledge they had any interest or share. Beaver was in command of the lorcha at that time. The first time I saw Mr Caldwell was about three years ago in this place. I have known Mr Grand-Pre for about the same time. I have never been intimate with either of them. I am better acquainted with Mr Grand-Pre, because when I came down from Shanghae I had a good deal to do with him at the Police Station. I know Mr Tarrant the Editor of the Friend of China. I do not recollect his asking me two or three years ago about Ma-chow Wong and the Eaglet. I may have had some conversation with him on that subject, but have forgotten it, it is so long since.\n\nMr May, who replaced it in the tin-box in which it was found, asked me a great many questions, and in a ridiculous manner. It was not handed to the Jury, but a piece of calico with some Chinese figures on it was. I gave Beaver an order to get it when he was discharged from Gaol. I gave him an order to get all the papers which I had when arrested, but do not know whether he got possession of this paper. I believe he did. I was told so by a short sentence prisoner. I got this paper from Beaver himself; it was not his intention to give it to me. We were in two separate boats, and I sent on board his boat for some cigars, and at the bottom of the box which he sent me I found this paper. I could not say in whose handwriting it was, and that is all I know of it. I might have said in the Supreme Court that it was as likely to be in Mr Caldwell's handwriting as in anyone else's, but I could not have said that it was in Mr Caldwell's handwriting, for I do not know Mr Caldwell's handwriting. The paper did not mention Mr Caldwell's name, nor do I recollect the name \"Samkwei\"; it was addressed to \"Charles Peapa.\" The paper I first alluded to is that which was produced at the Supreme Court. There were several papers, but the one I read in Court was that which I am speaking of. The one which I wished taken particular care of was one concerning my own business, nothing concerning Mr Caldwell that I know of. If anyone stated that I said that I had a paper which was of the very greatest consequence, and could get me out of trouble, such statement is wrong. There was a paper of great consequence but concerning only my own affairs. I don't think that the paper produced in Court recommended Ma-chow Wong to the notice of the pirates for the purchase of provisions and other articles from him. The paper did not mention Ma-chow Wong as being Mr Caldwell's brother.\n\nI knew the Eaglet, which Mr Caldwell used to command. I was never in any way connected with her. I have only been on board once, when I went on board of her in Hong-kong to see Mr Stone the Engineer. I have not sailed in her company, nor under her convoy. I have seen her several times outside, but I cannot say that she was engaged in any piratical expedition. I cannot say whether Ma-chow Wong was part owner of the Eaglet, or whether he was connected with her in any way.\n\n[Read a condensed report of what Eli Boggs said on his defence at the Supreme Court, concerning Mr Caldwell's and Ma-chow Wong's connection with the pirates.]\n\nThis is always what I understood to be the case, but I could not swear positively to it. My knowledge on these points is derived from what I have heard spoken by the Chinese. If I mentioned the names of individuals who could give evidence on the subject, I don't think that you would be able to find them now. I remember going into Mr Scarth's office with a Chinaman; I wanted Mr Scarth to interest himself in the case of six men, who had been wrongfully taken up for piracy. Mr Scarth told me that the man I came with was one of the greatest rascals unhung, and that I would do well to avoid his company. He had been brought to me by a Chinese merchant, to interpret about another person. I believe this man had very considerable dealings with Ma-chow Wong.\n\nI saw the Eaglet outside several times myself. I understood from the pirates there that she had been sent out by Mr Caldwell. I saw her the last time out by the island of Taiwan, about eight miles from here. On these occasions, she did not hold any communication with them, or bring provisions. On the occasion at Taiwan, I did not see what she was doing. We were on one side of the island, and she on the other.\n\nLyons was up in the Gaol one day, and asked me if I knew where the paper which I had read at the Supreme Court was. I told him I saw it put back in the box at the Supreme Court. I believe he asked me a few questions. He might have asked me who had written the paper, but I could not have told him that it was written by Mr Caldwell, for I do not know, and cannot say that I have any reason for thinking that it was written by Mr Caldwell. I believe he said something to the effect that if he was brought up, he would like to be able to produce this paper, to show that Mr Caldwell was connected with that sort of people. I said that I had the paper at one time, that I did not know if I could produce it then, that I was in trouble myself, and did not wish to meddle with other people's business.\n\nAs far as Ma-chow Wong is concerned, I am pretty confident that he levied black-mail on the pirates. My conclusion that Mr Caldwell participated in this is drawn from what I have heard said. I have seen refreshments come on board, which the pirates said came from Mr Caldwell. I have known money going away from the vessel, which they stated was going to Ma-chow Wong and Mr Caldwell; but I cannot say whether it was true. I understood from the pirates outside that they had to give Ma-chow Wong money to give to Mr Caldwell, otherwise vessels would be sent out to take them. I know it to be the case.\n\n(73)\n\nI believe that 'Ng Tai-sin's title was 'Ng Man-sui; he had another name, 'Ng Sing-ying.\n\nThat persons, whether pirates or not, who offended Ma-chow Wong, or failed to comply with his terms, were denounced to the Police and brought to trial and conviction. In the instance of Leong Ahee, in which case I was a witness, I afterwards found out that Ma-chow Wong demanded $500 from him and on his failing to give him this, had him taken up to the Court. There was a man of the name of 'Ng Tai-sin, from whom Ma-chow Wong wanted $500; and on his not paying it, he was arrested for something, I think as a suspicious character, and kept in Gaol for some time. He told me of the demand while in Gaol. My impression is, that those pirates who paid black-mail sailed their ships on the supposition that Mr Caldwell and Ma-chow Wong would assist them, and not act against them.\n\n## Wednesday, 2d June, 1858.\n\n### JOHN HAMILTON RANDALL,-Called and examined.\n\nI know Mr Caldwell. I first knew him in 1851, and first had business relations with him in 1855 as Chief Officer of the Steamer Eaglet, which belonged to and was commanded by Mr Caldwell. I knew George Stone; who was Chief Engineer and brought the Steamer from Calcutta, prior to my joining her. I remained on board the Eaglet as Chief Officer from July 1855 to September 1856. I left my situation, and came down accordingly. Mr Caldwell commanded her himself from July 1855, till about April 1856, in every trip she made. From April till September, Captain Toms, at present of the Cana Family Receiving Ship, commanded her. The Eaglet was ostensibly employed in the Convoy Trade, and in carrying passengers and cargo.\n\n| Role | Name | Period |\n|-------------|-------------|---------------------------------|\n| Commander | Mr Caldwell | July 1855 - April 1856 |\n| Commander | Captain Toms| April 1856 - September 1856 |\n| Chief Officer| Randall | July 1855 - September 1856 |\n| Chief Engineer| Stone | Prior to July 1855 |\n\nShe was in the habit of convoying sometimes lorchas and sometimes other Chinese vessels. When first I joined her, she had no guns on board; about the beginning of August, she took in 8 guns from 4 to 9-pounders. She was at times in the employment of the Government for the suppression of piracy, in connection with the naval forces. On one occasion coming from West Coast, she was asked by the mandarins to go and protect some junks, which had been attacked by a lorcha, and two other small Chinese craft.\n\nWe had gone from here to Hoihow with convoy and cargo, and were requested by the mandarins of Mamee. I do not know whether the mandarins made any arrangement for remuneration. We went as requested in chase of these pirates, and we got as far as the Westward of St John's Island, where we saw the lorchas and junks steering in for Shatái. We steamed and made sail after them. They got into the bay first before we could get in; the lorcha got behind the rocks, and the two smaller vessels ran ashore. The lorcha commenced firing at us as soon as we got into the harbour. The other two smaller boats, which had been taken from Mamee by the pirates, ran ashore and were abandoned. We lowered the boats and brought them out, and anchored them close to the ship—the lorcha still firing. We tried to take the lorcha, but she was too strong for us. One of their shots struck the hull of the vessel at the water's edge, and a great many passed over the steamer. We left the bay towing the two boats, and anchored for the night to the Westward of St John's. Next morning we got up steam, and in the afternoon arrived at Mamee, with the boats in company. The boats were identified by people of the place and given up to them. They contained only damaged potato flour, and a trifling quantity of rice.\n\nI was sent down from Ningpo to Hong-kong by Sir John Bowring, for the purpose of giving evidence relating to a fleet of pirates with whom I had been imprisoned for about four months and a half. I was told His Excellency sent word up there, that he would give me a reasonable remuneration for my lost time and expenses if I would come down. I remained here about 24 months. I came up to the Government Office, occasionally to see Mr Mercer, and was up once to see His Excellency. I received $108 or $110 altogether from the Government. Mr Rienaecker, who was Colonial Treasurer at the time, has the account.\n\nI have had no correspondence nor communication with Mr Caldwell on the subject of this inquiry. I spoke to Mr Grand-Pre when he came to see me about this inquiry. I asked him what he thought of it, and what I had best do if called on to give evidence. He said he had no advice to give either one way or the other; that a man would do best to act by his own conscience, and that he had nothing to do with it. When I say that the other papers found on me when arrested do not refer to this case, I mean that they do not refer to the present inquiry. I first learned what the enquiry was about from the newspapers. I believe that Lyons said something to the effect, that he wished to get the paper to be able to produce it, if brought up himself, against Mr Caldwell.\n\nMy reasons for believing the paper to have been written by Caldwell, were that Ma-chow Wong being in connection with Mr Caldwell, it follows as a natural conclusion, that Mr Caldwell might write that paper for him. I have heard Beaver several times say, that the lorcha in which he was, belonged partly to Mr Caldwell, and partly to Ma-chow Wong. The conclusion I came to regarding the name being spelt wrong, was that the person who wrote it had got the name, Pea-pa from Ma-chow Wong. The note was written well, and every other part of it properly spelt. It appeared to be written by a person who did not know the name of the person to whom it was addressed. The Chinese pronunciation of Beaver would be something like Pea-pa. For instance, they called De Alai for Eli.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-068 - Sir Bowring - 1858 [5-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 244751, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-068 - Sir Bowring - 1858 [5-12]", "page_number": 493, "title": "CO129-068 - Sir Bowring - 1858 [5-12]", "content_text": "## Proceedings of 8th July continued.\n\nI recollect the apprehension of a man who was charged with stealing a watch from Mr Lapraik. I was examined in the gaol upon a subsequent charge of piracy against the same man. I was examined in the presence of the Acting Colonial Secretary, Mr Caldwell, Mr Inglis, and a Chinese prisoner named Kwan Chan-hee. From circumstances, I imagined the man was accused from dislike between him and Ma-chow Wong and Kwan Chun-hee and this man.\n\nWhen I was examining him, he brought out some pieces of red paper, eight or nine inches long, with Chinese characters, which were interpreted to me by one of the Chinese in the station named Ahee. It was to the effect that Beaver was an American, a very good man, and had been some time in his employ; I kept it for a day or two before producing it by me before Mr Mitchell. I cannot recollect whether Mr Caldwell was there when I told Mr Mitchell of the interpretation I put upon the paper or not. I don't think I told Mr May about the paper while the trial was going on.\n\nIn a day or two after Beaver was remanded, I was sent for by the Acting Colonial Secretary. At about 6 o'clock in the morning I went to the Acting Colonial Secretary's house. He commenced questioning me, as licensing day was coming on, about the Comprador of the steamer.\n\nI know from reference to my chart, that Luy-chow near Hainan is from 8 to 10 miles from the mouth of a river; it stands a little way back from the shore. I have been past, but never in it.\n\n[Read Lyons' evidence concerning his visit to the Gaol to inquire about Beaver and the paper, and Beaver's conversation with himself.]\n\nI agree with nearly every portion of it. Beaver himself told me that he was with Akwai. I was at Boggs's trial.\n\nWhen I came here yesterday, there was a paper shown to me, and I was asked if I knew the character of the different Public-house keepers. After that I saw the paper produced. I do not know what was done with the paper before.\n\nThe steamer was about a mile and a half from the shore. The Elders of the village came on board and made an arrangement with Mr Caldwell for the payment of a sum of money if we could catch these desperadoes, but I do not know the amount. The boat went for the purpose of assisting people belonging to the Elders, and Mr Caldwell went in it. There were four armed men, four men pulling, the second Engineer and the Captain. When Roberts and Lyons asked me these questions, they did not tell me they should want me to give evidence. Yesterday, Roberts told me he had written down what I had said. I told him I thought it very curious, and that if I had seen the paper before, I should not have said anything. The answer I gave was that I had seen a paper written by a friend of mine about a year before; it was relating to the sale of a lorcha.\n\nThe Acting Colonial Secretary then remarked that the prisoner had that paper in his possession, and had given it to Kwan Chun-hee, and that the prisoner was head partner in the purchase of the lorcha. The Acting Colonial Secretary then went on to say that the paper had been given by this prisoner to Kwan Chun-hee within the last few days in Gaol, and that Kwan Chun-hee had given it up to accuse the prisoner.\n\nThe Acting Colonial Secretary then asked me about the searching of the prisoner at the Station, and I said I thought it was impossible he could have been locked up, without any paper which he might have had on his body being found.\n\nRe-examined,--During the time in which I was employed on board the `Eaglet` we never made any prisoners. In the Kulan affair there was loss of life sustained--five of the `Rattler's` and six or eight of the `Powhattan's` men were killed, besides other casualties. The information that the junks captured at St John's were pirates was obtained from the prisoner before his arrest.\n\nThe Acting Colonial Secretary asked me if I had ever seen a fleet of two or three hundred junks which we met on our way to Mameë. I told him I had seen them one time previously, when he was making a charge in the Central Police Station. He then asked me if I could recognise a man named Yik-foo, if I saw him. He then asked me if the prisoner was not Yik-foo, and I said that he was not.\n\nThe Acting Colonial Secretary then sent me round to the Gaol to take another look at the prisoner, and assured me that the prisoner was not Yik-foo. I returned, and told him I was certain he was not Yik-foo. He then asked me, as the prisoner was sick at the time, could his sickness not have altered him, so that I could not recognise him. I assured him he was not Yik-foo, upon which I was dismissed.\n\nA short time afterwards I met the Acting Colonial Secretary at the Central Police Station, and in speaking to him I remarked that I had been told by one of the European prisoners, that the paper had been in Gaol since the conviction of Kwan Chun-hee. I then told him that Kwan Chun-hee had already brought a charge against Tong Akü which had been proved false. The charge against Tong Akü had been convicted.\n\nDr Bridges said that he would see into the matter, that he would inquire amongst the prisoners in the Gaol, and ascertain whether it was as I said with reference to the paper. I again saw the Acting Colonial Secretary upon this matter.\n\nI have seen Passengers coming on board except as a passenger. I have no recollection of seeing any one wearing spectacles coming on board except Lai Sze-kai.\n\nSai I have seen Lai Sze-kai wearing spectacles. I never received any other sum than the $55 either as prize-money or remuneration for extra or dangerous service.\n\n[Lai Sze-kai shewn to witness.]\n\nI remember the apprehension of Beaver; he was apprehended and brought to the Police Station by Mr Caldwell.\n\nWhen I had finished examining him, I told him about this man Beaver, and a case of piracy which I had known, and which had occurred in the previous January. I told him about a gun being purchased on the lorcha, also that the money had not been paid, and an order had been given, I was under the impression at the instance of Ma-chow Wong.\n\nThe pirate who took the lorcha was the brother or brother-in-law of Akwai, and he had an European with him. The Acting Colonial Secretary said he would like very much to see the order; it was for $80. The lorcha came in two days afterwards. I boarded her as she came to an anchor about half-past four or five in the morning. I took the Captain of the lorcha, and Achong, the Chinese owner, up to Dr Bridges's house about 7 o'clock, and they produced a paper which they said was the one to which I alluded. It was only an acknowledgment of having taken a gun worth $70, which they intended to pay for. There was no order on any particular house.\n\nThe paper was then sent together with the first paper found on Beaver's person to Mr Wade to be translated; and the Acting Colonial Secretary told me that as Mr Caldwell had already a charge for confederation with pirates against Beaver, I had better send my witnesses down to him. The witnesses were first sent down to Mr Caldwell, and then went before the Magistrate.\n\nAfter the paper was translated, it was returned to me by Mr Grand-Pré, and after getting it I went before the Magistrate again, with the witnesses, and the paper was again produced before the Assistant Magistrate Mr Mitchell. I do not know whether it was interpreted to him at that time.\n\nThe examination lasted over a space of three weeks, and the paper was taken there every day for examination. The witnesses failed to identify Beaver, and he was sentenced to find security for three months, or quit the colony; he quitted the colony.\n\nThis paper was never to my knowledge in Mr Caldwell's possession. He saw it, but I don't know that he read it at the Police Court. At one time I told him about it.\n\nAfter the investigation was over, Beaver asked for his paper, but Mr Mitchell said that they were to be retained.

They were afterwards pointed out as pirate boats by a Portuguese.\n\n(Some Evidence.)\n\nThis was a case where a foreign boat laden with beans came to this harbour, and a supposed pirate boat went on board and plundered her. The rebel chief Ing-Sur-Zing was on board at the time, and he went on board and turned the vagabonds away, trying to take possession of her for himself. Wouy-sai-lung and Lee Mitran (Woh's Shopkeepers, but at some time they had connected themselves with piracy) then went and told this to Wong Ahkee, who instructed them to take the police on board and claim the boat to be theirs. They did so, and the case was brought to Court. The boat was given up to them as their property, and about 2 months afterwards, some Portuguese identified her to be a pirate, and the case was brought to Court, but through some mismanagement, the case was dismissed. In all the above cases, Mr. Stace and Mr. Caldwell appeared on behalf of the prisoners, and not one of them was committed for trial.\n\nIt is said that Wong Ahkee pays a sum per year to Mr. Stace to do his work, and not one of the above cases Mr. Stace and Mr. Caldwell did not attend. Wong Ahkee is very cunning; he is always kind to people; he is openly doing things for Silung of the Quentong Shop, and Lee Weturn of the Silony Butcher's Shop on his behalf. And in all the above cases, these two men were present in Court. These 2 men were securities in the case of Jugating in this thing, and they were securities in all the others, and they were Alkee's lovers yesterday.\n\nWong-Alkaa owns 14 boats himself. It is said that Wong Ahkee must have bought from the Mandarin of Brugtrong, and he got from the Steamer \"Sampton\" (and some other Steamer), the third was deserted by pirates at Ching-i, and he picked it up.\n\nIt is said that Wong Ahkee has so many shares in pirate boats on account of his connection with the pirates being so extensive that he is lately obliged to open a Kong to receive the property plundered by the pirates, and he has Cataly formed in partnership with a man known as Lee-Trok in opening the Chimchew Kong to receive the stolen goods.\n\nIt is said that the boat now in custody of the Police is a pirate, and the Sugar looted was plundered from a boat belonging to Lee the thum of the Wochenen-Opine Shop, Jervoide Street. Teat Ah-hum was afraid to give information to the Police, but made the matter up with Wong Ahkee by receiving back 110 bags of sugar. Such is the terror of the Ma-tor-wong.\n\nIt is also said that a pirate chief's Alfat and Heet Chee had made their fortune and have returned to the Colony, that they have given $1700 to Ma-tor-wong, and that...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-072 - Indviduals - 1858.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 246269, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-072 - Indviduals - 1858", "page_number": 103, "title": "CO129-072 - Indviduals - 1858", "content_text": "A reputed recognizes, Sepat and Scrat owun of the sites of brottsle, and, trong The occupants thereof; Occupante in payon; Buch has granted licenses to act as a int for suck agent The also the scordanc Mr. Gilmour & oh Chares of some of the Treasuring Starts to take a this 26th February last at the de Direasury, and as referee, if not as reputed orner, in to nuisances and repairs in respect of Ge the dam brother proprsity; and is, coa litt la shion's lotely, the licers of same portion of the rack-Uent; - that his subordinate .Mt Grand Pe has done the Jame in and of the licensed brothers on thi property of the bate Colonial Treasurer.

I bought all from Mr Woods; I do not know how many lots there were-I he, Mr Caldwell, was busy. I told Assow I had a fear agreed to pay Mr Woods $3,000 for them. Mr Caldwell that the creditors of Mr Caldwell might get back the lots and sell them. This happened about the middle of last negociated the purchase. I paid him $2,000 first in sums of $1,000 each, leaving a balance of $1,000, and I got Mr month, (May,) I have pressed Mr Caldwell to complete Caldwell to get back $500 of the last payment, so that the transfer. Mr Caldwell told me that the property had $1,500 should remain on interest. The first 10 houses mentioned in these transactions were bought about May of last year, 4 houses about August, and the 15 from Mr Woods were in November. When I bought the first 10 houses, I got a document (a bill of sale) from Mr Caldwell, but did not get the new lease. I told Mr Caldwell that I did not understand the business, and wished the matter put into a Lawyer's hands. Mr Stace was employed. The bill of sale was in Chinese. All the transactions\n\nwere on my own account The old leases are at my house. I know a woman called Chew Alai; she lives at Macao. I gave her 3 of the houses out of the lot of 10. She did not pay me anything. I gave them to her; she is my concubine, and I wanted to settle these houses on her. I did not give Mr Stace any instructions, but left Mr Caldwell to do so, that the 10 and 4 houses might be transferred in the usual way. I wanted the 3 houses transferred to Chew Alai, if it could be done as I wished, and if not, no matter. The old leases were given to Mr Stace, but I hold some older ones. I did not give the bill of sale to Mr Stace as it was in Chinese, and Mr Caldwell said that he would give an English one. I know Mak Afook; he collects rents for me. With reference to 7 of the 10 houses, he gives me $30 a month rent for them. As to the 4, Mak Afook has nothing to do with them; Szekai collects the rent on them, he pays me $50 for\n\nmonth. per\n\nbeen mortgaged, and not that he had not got back the papers; but Mr Caldwell had never refused to complete the transfer.\n\nAlthough Mr Caldwell still owed me $2,000, I was able to get the money to pay the sums of $2,200), and $150 for the different lots from my relations. The $1,500 was not due till November, by which time Messrs Siemssen & Co. had paid me $1,900, on account of Mr Caldwell's estate. I do not know the names of the tenants of the houses.\n\nOf the 15 houses bought from Mr Woods, my brother Ah Chow receives the rents.\n\nI was absent from Hongkong at China New Year (February last), and went to my own country. Before I left I told Szekai to pay the ground-rent; I told him he was to ask the old master about the payment; I meant Mr Caldwell. Since the 11th month (December) of last year have been in possession of the houses, and have not paid Mr Caldwell anything. I pay the interest to Mr Woods. I do not owe Mr Caldwell anything for these houses. There is no arrangement by which I am to pay Mr Caldwell on account of rents on these houses. Mr Caldwell has not the slightest interest in any of the houses\n\nRe-examined. I had no security for the $2,000 lent to Mr Caldwell. I had an acknowledgment in English writing, stating that the interest was $25 per mille per month. I had no receipt for the $1,500 lent on account of my friend. Achoy-eu, a person in California, was the friend whose money I lent; he told me, if I had a suitable opportunity, to buy opium; as I found none, I lent the money at call, and therefore there was to be no interest.

Mr Caldwell said that some person wanted the house for a hospital. When Mr Caldwell told me about the house which was to be occupied as a hospital, I understood that I was no longer to collect the rent of it.

He asked me what the policeman had said to me, and I told him that the policeman had asked me who the owner of the house was, and that I told him the comprador had told me the house belonged to Mr. Caldwell. Lum Ateen said that I might have the seven houses at the same rate as before, $30—to which I agreed. The other house was agreed for the same day, for $25. My previous knowledge of Lum Ateen extended only to knowing him by sight. The house spoken of as being intended for a hospital has not been used as such; it is now a family house.

I took the house of Mr. Caldwell's comprador, who told me that the house was Mr. Caldwell's. I am keeper of a licensed boarding house; pay the rent to the comprador, whom I last saw this morning. He came to my house about half-past 7 this morning of his own accord, and said, \"If any gentleman comes asking you, don't tell that this house belongs to Mr. Caldwell. Say that it belongs to Mrs. Caldwell, or a relation.\"\n\n[Mr. Caldwell admits that he receives the rent of the house, but denies the ownership. He also admits that he is the reputed owner, or in other words, that people suppose him to be the owner.]\n\nNo part of the house in which I live is used as a brothel. There is no brothel on the side of the street in which I live; there is one over the way. The comprador once said that unless I could pay every month I should be turned out. One time he took me down to Mr. Caldwell's office. I said to Mr. Caldwell, \"Excuse me this time, as soon as my boarders get ships I will pay.\" Mr. Caldwell said, \"I have nothing to do with it; you had better speak to the comprador.\" The comprador said, that I must pay or seek another house.

In December last I was, and still am, Solicitor to the Attorney General. Upon reference to document (M) I can state that, on the 3d January, 1857, I, as solicitor for the Attorney General, obtained a transfer into his name in the land office, of lots 475, 476, 477, 478, 480, 483, 484, 485, and 507. These lots had been purchased by him from Mr. Caldwell. Mr. Anstey was very desirous in the latter end of December last, of selling these lots, and I applied to Mr. Caldwell to point out where the lots were. I think at that time Mr. Caldwell said, that he had a friend who was very anxious to buy one of these lots. I replied, that I did not think it likely that the Attorney General would sell any one particular lot, as he wanted to get rid of the whole together. I made some enquiry as to the lot Mr. Caldwell's friend wished to buy, and called on him afterwards to tell him, that the Attorney General would not sell any one lot; the purchaser, if he bought, must take the whole. The lot Mr. Caldwell wished to buy was one near the Kulan obelisk; the others are in the neighbourhood of East Point. The whole were afterwards sold to Mr. Strachan.\n\nCross-examined,—Mr. Caldwell did not, at the time of the conversation with him, mention the name of the friend; nor do I know for whom the lot was wanted.\n\nLAI SZE KAI,—Called and examined.\n\nI was Comprador to Mr. Caldwell. I ceased to be Comprador from the time Mr. Caldwell ceased to be master of the Eaglet, about two years ago. Since then I have been partner with Low Ateem in a shop, and now myself keep a shop which is in Stanley Street. When I was Comprador to Mr. Caldwell I went with the steamer; I also collected rents of four houses, but I do not know the numbers of the ground lots on which they stand. [The lot referred to is 197.] The present occupants are Lee Koon-tai, Ngow Poo, Chew Angee, Ch'o Ngu, Akwun, who keeps a Chair shop, and Yew Aon—there are eight tenants altogether. I received rents for Mr. Caldwell until I went on board the steamer as Comprador, after which I believe Mr. Caldwell's cook was collector. After I left the steamer I again collected rents for Mr. Caldwell, and continued to do so up to the middle of December last, when the houses were sold to Lum Ateen. After that time I collected them for Lum Ateen as some of them still owed rent. I delivered to Mr. Caldwell the rents as I collected them. When I was collector, for Mr. Caldwell, the rents amounted to about $19 a month. They are now let by Lum Ateen to me for $50, and I sublet them for $57. None of the houses are brothels, nor are any of them inhabited by loose women. During the whole time that I have received the rents they have been all occupied as family houses, and none of them as brothels or by loose women. The houses belonged to Mr. Caldwell at the end of 1856.\n\nI have collected rents for Mr. Caldwell for 11 houses besides. They are not sold. I know of my own knowledge that these houses belonged to a sister of Mrs. Caldwell, whose name I do not know. I do not know Chun Atsoo; I know they are the property of Mrs. Caldwell's sister, because Mrs. Caldwell told me so, and at one time offered to let them to me. Mrs. Caldwell managed the affairs of this property. The rents of these 11 houses are paid to Mrs. Caldwell, and have always been since I collected them. I have never collected rent on any other lots for Mrs. Caldwell. In the month of February last, I spoke to Mr. Caldwell concerning the payment of ground rent on Lum Ateen's property. When Lum Ateen was going home he told me to pay the ground rents for him: I said, that I did not know what amount I had to pay; Lum Ateen told me I might go to my old master—Mr. Caldwell—about it. I went to Mr. Caldwell in the month of February, and asked him to write a note for me to go and pay ground rents. Mr. Caldwell told me that he himself was going to pay ground rents. I gave him a $50 note. About two days afterwards Mr. Caldwell said it was not enough, and that I must give him $2 and some cents more. Mr. Caldwell said, that he would wait till Lum Ateen's return, and hand the receipts over to him. He told me that the receipts were at the office; he would get them by and by. I know a Boarding House keeper in Hollywood Road called Tomas. I let him the house in which he lives. I saw him yesterday morning. I said to him, and all the Chinese tenants, \"Don't be afraid; if any inquiry be made, you may say that the house belongs to my mistress [Mrs. Caldwell].” The previous evening I went to collect the rents. The Chinese tenants were afraid I was not going to let the houses to them. One of the tenants came to me next morning, and so I went to all. I have had no conversation with Mr. Caldwell as to the evidence that had been given before this Commission. No one told me to go to these tenants. They said some constable had been making inquiry as to the names and occupations of the tenants, and that this was their reason for being frightened.\n\nCross-examined,—The amount of rent due upon the four houses when they were transferred to Lum Ateen in December, was about $70; there is none of this due now. I was in Gaol about the 4th moon of last year, about a debt of my partner. I was 6 or 7 days in Gaol. I have never been in Gaol on a criminal charge. I do not know Chew Alai—nor have I heard the name; neither do I know Chun Ats00. I had an interview with Mrs. Caldwell's sister at Macao, about 4 years ago; I do not know her name.\n\nI do not know if she has a sister living in Hongkong. Six of the eleven houses are near the Joss-house in Hollywood Road, and the others are in Queen's Road West. It was after I left the steamer in July, 1856, that Mrs. Caldwell offered to let me the houses. I have known Lum Ateen about 10 years.

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

He did not suggest any particular points on which I should give evidence; he was only two minutes speaking to me altogether.\n\nRe-examined, I went from here to Canton in a lorcha belonging to Ma-chow Wong, in October or November 1856. About a week after I was evidence for a man named Leong Ahee, who was charged with piracy. Mr Anstey allowed me to be examined, and afterwards told the Court my evidence could not be taken. I was passenger on board this lorcha, belonging to Ma-chow Wong. I never sailed or served in any vessel which I knew to belong to Mr Caldwell.\n\nMr May who replaced it in the tin-box in which it was found. It was not handed to the Jury, but a piece of calico with some Chinese figures on it was. I gave Beaver an order to get all the papers which I had when arrested, but do not know whether he got possession of this paper. I believe he did. I was told so by a short sentence prisoner. I got this paper from Beaver himself. We were in two separate boats, and I sent on board his boat for some cigars, and at the bottom of the box which he sent me I found this paper. I could not say in whose handwriting it was, and that is all I know of it. I might have said in the Supreme Court that it was as likely to be in Mr Caldwell or Ma-chow Wong's handwriting as in any one else's, but I could not have said that it was in Mr Caldwell's handwriting, for I do not know Mr Caldwell's handwriting. The paper did not mention Mr Caldwell's name, nor do I recollect the name Samkwei; it was addressed to \"Charles Peapa.\"\n\nI have known Mr Grand-Pré for about the same time, I have never been intimate with either of them. I am better acquainted with Mr Grand-Pré, because when I came down from Shanghae I had a good deal to do with him at the Police Station. I know Mr Tarrant the Editor of the Friend of China. I do not recollect his warning me two or three years ago about Ma-chow Wong and the Eaglet, I may have had some conversation with him on that subject, but have forgotten it, it is so long since.\n\nThere was a paper of great consequence but concerning only my own affairs. I don't think that the paper produced in Court recommended Ma-chow Wong to the notice of the pirates for the purchase of provisions and other articles from him. The paper did not mention Ma-chow Wong as being Mr Caldwell's brother.\n\nI knew the Eaglet which Mr Caldwell used to command. I was never in any way connected with her. I have only been on board once, when I went on board of her in Hongkong to see Mr Stone the Engineer. I have not sailed in her company, nor under her convoy. I have seen her several times outside, but I cannot say that she was engaged in any piratical expedition. I cannot say whether Ma-chow Wong was part owner of the Eaglet, or whether he was connected with her in any way.\n\nLyons was up in the Gaol one day, and asked me if I knew where the paper which I had read at the Supreme Court was. I told him I saw it put back in the box at the Supreme Court. I believe he asked me a few questions. He might have asked me who had written the paper, but I could not have told him that was written by Mr Caldwell, for I do not know, and cannot say that I have any reason for thinking that it was written by Mr Caldwell. I believe he said something to the effect that if he was brought up he would like to be able to produce this paper, to shew that Mr Caldwell was connected with that sort of people. I said that I had the paper at one time, that I did not know if I could produce it then, that I was in trouble myself, and did not wish to meddle with other people's business.\n\nCross-examined,—This other paper which I wished taken particular care of was in English. Mr Caldwell's name was not mentioned in it. I cannot say that Lyons made any suggestions to me regarding the evidence I was to give. He put a great many questions to me, and in a ridiculous manner...\n\n[Read a condensed report of what Eli Boggs said on his defence at the Supreme Court, concerning Mr Caldwell's and Ma-chow Wong's connection with the pirates.]\n\nThis is always what I understood to be the case, but I could not swear positively to it. My knowledge on these points is derived from what I have heard spoken by the Chinese. If I mentioned the names of individuals who could give evidence on the subject, I don't think that you would be able to find them now. I remember going into Mr Scarth's office with a Chinaman. I wanted Mr Scarth to interest himself in the case of six men, who had been wrongfully taken up for piracy. Mr Scarth told me that the man I came with was one of the greatest rascals unhung, and that I would do well to avoid his company.\n\nI saw the Eaglet outside several times myself. I understood from the pirates there, that she had been sent out by Mr Caldwell.\n\nAs far as Ma-chow Wong is concerned, I am pretty confident that he levied black-mail on the pirates. My conclusion that Mr Caldwell participated in this is drawn from what I have heard said. I have seen refreshments come on board, which the pirates said came from Mr Caldwell.\n\nI understood from the pirates outside that they had to give Ma-chow Wong money to give Mr Caldwell, otherwise vessels would be sent out to take them. I know it to be the case that persons, whether pirates or not, who offended Ma-chow Wong, or failed to comply with his terms, were denounced to the Police and brought to trial and conviction.\n\n( 73 )\n\nWednesday, 2d June, 1858.\n\nJOHN HAMILTON RANDALL,-Called and examined.\n\nI know Mr Caldwell. I first knew him in 1851, and first had business relations with him in 1855 as Chief Officer of the Steamer Eaglet, which belonged to and was commanded by Mr Caldwell.\n\nIn the year 1855, I was sent down from Ningpo to Hongkong by Sir John Bowring, for the purpose of giving evidence relating to a fleet of pirates with whom I had been imprisoned for about four months and-a-half.\n\nI was told His Excellency sent word up there, that he would give me a reasonable remuneration for my lost time and expenses if I would come down. I left my situation, and came down accordingly.\n\nI remained on board the Eaglet as Chief Officer from July 1855 to September 1856. Mr Caldwell commanded her himself from July 1855, till about April 1856, in every trip she made.\n\nThe Eaglet was ostensibly employed in the Convoy Trade, and in carrying passengers and cargo. She was in the habit of convoying sometimes lorchas and sometimes other Chinese vessels.\n\nMy reasons for believing the paper to have been written by Mr Caldwell, were that Ma-chow Wong being in connection with Mr Caldwell, it follows as a natural conclusion, that Mr Caldwell might write that paper for him.\n\nI have heard Beaver several times say, that the lorcha in which he was, belonged partly to Mr Caldwell, and partly to Ma-chow Wong.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-074 - Lieut.

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

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

Apparently great numbers are used here.\n\nInhabitants were very civil.\n\nThe harbour of Chee-foo is entered from the N. E. The mainland is connected by means of a bar of sand, with a piece of high land looking like an island, which fronts the town and forms a bay. To the S. E. this bay is protected by rocks, apparently a long reef, on the S, E, side of which is another anchorage. The bay is about 5 miles across, and rather more in length. There is room for a great number of vessels to lie in about 4-4 fathoms.\n\nThe rise and fall of tide is about 7 feet.\n\nThe water is said to be about 4 feet lower during the N. E. monsoon than the S. W.\n\nIn February, 1859, when the Solomon family arrived here, the thermometer was at about 12° Fahrenheit at night, and there was ice round the shore for about 40 yards; also a thin crust sometimes round the ship in the morning. The northerly winds were very cold.\n\nTo the east of the town a rocky promontory projects into the sea, and on the point is a small shore fort, with spears existing only as paintings on the walls.\n\nAt low tide, the beach in front of the town cannot be approached within 300 yards; but one can land on this promontory at all times of the tide, taking care to avoid the rocks, which are numerous.\n\nThere is a chain of hills running nearly east and west, about 3 miles to the south of the town, and about 1200 feet high.\n\nThey are of granite. The flat ground is sandy and very dry—highly cultivated.\n\nThe roads are dry and good.\n\nThere is a stream running down near the town; but at this season dry. It evidently carries off a considerable quantity of water during the rainy season.\n\nThere is good water to be procured from wells, though those near the beach are brackish. There is also a spring at a green spot to the west of the town.\n\nOn the high projecting land, to the north of the bay, are two villages and a small tower battlemented to protect the eastern one.\n\nThis place being only connected with the mainland by a spit of sand, might be rendered impregnable by a small force, aided by a couple of vessels, though it would not be such a pleasant position as the ground in rear of the city.\n\nThere are wells here; but no streams, except in wet weather.\n\nAfter crossing the range of hills described above, there is a plain of about 6 miles wide, and then another similar range, behind that another range could be seen, and probably beyond that is the sea, forming the southern boundary of the \"Shan-tung\" promontory. These hills extend also to the west to near \"Ting-choo-foo.\"\n\nThe harbour is undoubtedly a good one, and I think would form a very good northern point of rendezvouz, and Commissariat or Hospital Station.\n\nAny large ship would lay better here than at the Pei-ho anchorage, and yet be within 200 miles of that river.\n\nThe climate appears very good.\n\nEven at this time of year the heat is by no means oppressive; cool winds are even blowing from the south. The soil is dry and sandy, and the vegetables good.\n\nThere are said to be quantities of cattle on the Min-too islands.\n\nAbout Half a mile in rear, or to the south of \"Che-foo,\" is an old town, with the ruins of a wall surrounding it, with four gates about the old portion remaining in a state of preservation.\n\nThe ground behind this place and the more modern town being flat and low, leads one to imagine that the old one was originally on the coast line, and that the sea has receded.\n\nRussians and\n\nA strange rumour, and entirely of Chinese origin, existed here on our arrival, that 3000 Russians were at the Pei-ho, and, farther, that 500 more were expected to come down to \"Che-foo.\" A very curious confirmation of our suspicious. It is needless to say that our ideas on the subject had nothing to do with this report.\n\nJuly 18th.—Sailed from \"Chee-foo\" at 9 A.M., and reached Teng-choo-foo at 5 P.M., distant about 36 miles W.\n\nWent on shore; landed outside the city on a rough jetty, at the mouth of a sort of inner harbour or dock the Chinese have formed. We ascended the wall, which is very old, by a breach, and were met by a number of people. We attempted to walk round the top of the walls, but were rudely prevented. We stated that we wished to see the Mandarin, but no one would tell us his name nor where he lived, but directed us to a different and rather distant part of the wall, and said we must go along outside the wall we were then on, and enter by a gate which they pointed out.\n\nSo we descended the breach and found that there were two distinct walled cities. The one we had entered being the smaller, and very old, the walls much out of repair and breached certainly in two places.\n\nHaving got outside the wall, we walked towards the larger city, up what appeared a road, but in reality was a dry bed of a stream. Near the S. end of the N. western city a bridge of 3 arches spanned this stream; the road passing over the bridge came down from the west and led between the two cities. Getting in this road we turned to the left, and entered the city by its N. Gate, which was very large, and constructed like all their city gates. The walls were here in good repair, and, I think, not less than 35 feet high.\n\nOn entering the city we were surrounded by very great crowds. There were only 4 of us, all unarmed, and my Chinese servant. He overheard a discussion between two Chinese as to the propriety of their taking and imprisoning us. We did not like, at so late an hour in the evening (about 7 P.M.), leaving the city gates between us and the ship, so we left a message with a respectable looking man to be delivered to the Magistrate, saying that we intended calling on him to arrange about the purchase of stores, but were unable to do so from not knowing his house, and from the lateness of the hour. We then went out through the gates and returned on board.\n\nJuly 19th.—Wrote a letter to the Mandarin to the same effect as the message we delivered. The interpreter who took it on shore was jeered at by the people, who cautioned one another to have nothing to do with it.\n\nHowever, he threw it among them and returned. We were, however, quite sure the Mandarin would get it sooner or later, and, accordingly, next day, a man came on board to inquire how many bullocks or sheep we wanted,", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-079 - Public Offices - 1860.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 250235, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-079 - Public Offices - 1860", "page_number": 385, "title": "CO129-079 - Public Offices - 1860", "content_text": "dof\n\nde\n\nthe\n\nEngagement of the cost\n\nthee incurred to be made\n\nto the Colonial Agents General in London\n\nPhi Phong Kong\n\n333\n\nColonies General,\n\nWar Office 27 July 1860\n\nRECEIVED\n\n27 JUL 1860\n\nInspector General of Fortifications presents\n\nhis compliments to the\n\nUnder Secretary of State for the Colonies\n\nand begs to be allowed to\n\nforward two copies of a\n\nCircular addressed to the\n\nGovernors of Colonies\n\non the inspection of the heating for war\n\nto the effect that Governors could transmit\n\nthe opinion of the Local Military\n\nauthorities in very\n\ncases in which Military", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-079 - Public Offices - 1860.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 250414, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-079 - Public Offices - 1860", "page_number": 564, "title": "CO129-079 - Public Offices - 1860", "content_text": "Before with \n\nwith regard to the mode of hearing this moiety alone that I have now the honour \n\nI fly for instructions.\n\nI have the honour to be \n\nLieutenant\n\nYour most obedient \n\nhumble Servant \n\nMcKenzie \n\nRennie has affiliated \n\nLetter \n\nInform \n\nby \n\nEllet 14 Sept.\n\nEland the Agents General \n\nM.

His Father at his death left him some houses and land and for many years he contracted with the District Magistrate for the supply of grass for the Government Horses; hence his soubriquet of \"Ma Chow Wong\" (i.e., \"Wong the grass contractor\"). He became leagued with the Pirates of the Coast and was denounced to the Mandarins, and fled here shortly after the formation of the Colony. Upon his arrival here he became ostensibly a fish smonger in the market but his principal occupation was said to be the disposal of the plunder of his confiderates on sea and land for he was not long in organizing a band of thieves, Friad Street Coolies. He, besides his old friends on the water whom he also supplied with provisions. \n\nSoon after his arrival he became known to Mr Caldwell and for years was Mr Caldwell's principal and most relied upon informant.

They are supported and tolerated as a necessary evil - they attach themselves to particular localities, and engage to defend their own district, or clan, or those that will pay for their services - they are the bullies of the place. In all fends, gambling house fights, or disturbances in Brothels, these men are recognized. They are given to Gambling and Assaults in Brothels.

I am,\n\nYour obedient Servant,\n\nsigned, **L. MARQUIS,**\n\nProcurador.\n\nThe above is appended to a copy of the letter, and sealed with wax and official stamp.\n\nTrue copy\n\n**W. TARRANT.**\n\nEnclosure marked B.\n\nMacao 19th February 1862.\n\n**L. Marquis Esq., Procurador.**\n\nSIR,-Having reference to the various enquiries which I have made at your office lately, and of yourself on the subject of the narrative which you sent to the Editor of the Daily Press on the 5th March 1860, and, as I have shown you, bound up in an appendix to Minutes of enquiry into Civil service abuses before the Executive Council of the Hongkong Government; and more particularly regarding Mr. Caldwell's reply to your letter of the 29th of February, of date the 10th of March 1860, bound up in the same volume, I shall feel obliged if you will append to this letter (which I send in duplicate) a certificate of your appreciation of my having correctly understood your and the other statements.\n\nCommencing with the 10th printed paragraph of the letter, on the 35th page of the appendix-you say that you deny that it was proved to you that the five men whom Mr. Caldwell relieved from their contracts were kidnapped. When the men found that by saying they did not want to go they could be released, they said so; and you opine that every contract coolie in Macao would make a similar statement, though that would not prove that they were kidnapped.\n\nAs to para 12 on the same page,-Had the informer pointed your attention at the time to the man whom he said was one of the brokers that came from Hongkong with the 45 Coolees, you would have apprehended him-But neither did he then nor subsequently; and when you found that the informer was an impostor, you came to the conclusion that his assertion of having seen such a person at all was of a piece with the rest of his conduct.\n\nAs regards paras 15 and 16 on page 30, in which Mr. Caldwell speaks of inaccuracies on your part in the statement of what he told you when he first came over regarding the Coolees,-while adhering to your impression on the subject, and now believing that you were intentionally misled, you say that it matters not whether the informer were or were not a policeman after he reached Hongkong from Macao. What was clear to you was that the informer lied when he said that he had been confined in the Sun-fook-tie hong, and that he was one of three that had escaped in the month of December. The names of the men who so escaped, as shown by the Register of coolees who had signed contracts, and were intended to go in the Emilie Pireire, were Leon Ao-an of Hoi-ping, Le Ahee of Chau-choon, and Sun Acum of Fu-yen. These men were received in October, and escaped on the first of December; whereas the informer called himself Asoong, and to have been one of the 45 from Hongkong for whom Mr. Caldwell affected to seek, could not have been in the Hong at the date of the escape in question; the said 45, according to the story, only reaching Macao on the 27th of December.\n\nAs to para 18 on the same page, you adhere to your statement that the informer said four of his companions were at the Barracoon at St. Antonio.\n\nAs regards para 21 on the 36th page, touching the Coolee brought from the St. Lourenço barracoon and released by Mr. Caldwell, you say this man was undoubtedly an impostor, for the contract which he had signed bears date the 6th of December; and you supply me with an attested copy of this contract viz No. 154, between Chong Afa and Messrs. Morales & Co. You also furnish to me attested copies of the contracts of the four others released by Mr. Caldwell; and you notice that Kwon-sun-Kwan who corroborated Asoong's evidence at the Supreme Court on the trial of Shum Ahing, is not the name of either of the five men taken from Macao by Mr. Caldwell.\n\nAs to para 22 on the same page, in which Mr. Caldwell speaks of the consistency of the statements of the Coolees so brought to you with that of the informer, who Mr. Caldwell said had had no possible means of concerting with the others to make up the story, you point out that, as it is proved by the evidence of J. Fernandes, of D. Xavier, of F. B. da Luz, of C. G. da Silva, of Cheang Achan and of others, that the informer was a Coolee broker on his own admission, the supposition that the story could not have been concerted fails; for, as a broker, Asoong had free access to all the barracoons, going in and out whenever he pleased;", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-087 - Sir Robinson - 1862 [7] & Acting Governor Mercer - 1862 [7-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 254220, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-087 - Sir Robinson - 1862 [7] & Acting Governor Mercer - 1862 [7-9]", "page_number": 323, "title": "CO129-087 - Sir Robinson - 1862 [7] & Acting Governor Mercer - 1862 [7-9]", "content_text": "## \n17 \n5 \n\nOn the 30th December 1839, \nNo. 233-Char Arat, \nOn the 31st December 1859, \nNo. 346-Hip Atun, \n347-Tan Ahi, 348-Chao Apoo, \n1 \n18,, Ton-cun. \n51 \n30 Tim-pac. 32 Lo-chan. 30 Hunchin. \n313 \n11 \n349--Chao Apat, \n30 \n350-Choi Asan, \n30 \n1: \n351-Lopien bien, \n35 \n352-Choi Apuu, \n25 \n353-Tom Atun, \n32 \n354-Chou Aquae, \nPe \nFF \n355-Tu Apun \n32 \n356-Pau A bun, \n33 \nid.

On the day preceding I received from the said San-qui one--On the 27th of the same month seven, and on the 24th-two. \n\nBut of the thirty five here specified I can state of my own knowledge that not one was of the 45 brought from Hongkong before referred to. \n\nAnd I further solemnly declare and state that some time in the said month of December 1859, being in Hongkong, I heard that over a hundred men were in a hong on the sea side at the west of Victoria, and thinking that these men might be desirous of entering into a labour contract to go to Havana, I called at the said Hong and found 40 or 50 Coolees, who one and all declined, through the Interpreter with me, to go to Havana. Shortly afterwards I heard, in Macau, that these coolees had come to Macao when I again enquired if they would go to Havana, and was then told that some of them had gone to the hong of Mr. Beuzant, but none of them were engaged for me to go in the Emilie Pireire or any other ship under my agency. And the names and native places of the coolees supplied to me by Sam-qui from the Sun fook tie hong aforesaid, on the days mentioned were as follow:-all of the said places from which these coolees came being on the west coast of China, or here about,--not on the East coast according to what would be correct descriptions of places about Kap-chee. \n\n### Names and native places of certain coolees received from Sam-qui, for the Emilie Pireire.— \n\n| Date | No. | Name | Age | Native Place |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 24th December 1859 | 230 | Lun A sam | 30 | Chan-sian |\n| 24th December 1859 | 231 | Siu A foo | 22 | Pun-hy |\n| 27th December 1859 | 232 | Chuo Ajom | 24 | Ton-cun |\n| 31st December 1859 | 346 | Hip Atun | | |\n| 31st December 1859 | 347 | Tan Ahi | | |\n| 31st December 1859 | 348 | Chao Apoo | 1 | Ton-cun |\n| 31st December 1859 | 349 | Chao Apat | 30 | Tim-pac |\n| 31st December 1859 | 350 | Choi Asan | 30 | |\n| 31st December 1859 | 351 | Lopien bien | 35 | |\n| 31st December 1859 | 352 | Choi Apuu | 25 | |\n| 31st December 1859 | 353 | Tom Atun | 32 | |\n| 31st December 1859 | 354 | Chou Aquae | | |\n| 31st December 1859 | 355 | Tu Apun | 32 | Tim pac.

MAY, Esq.**\n#### ILLEGAL DETENTION OF TWO COOLIES\n\nA case of some interest came before the above magistrate to-day.\n\nIt appears that the French ship Marie Therese is now loading emigrants for Guiana, and that two men, named Chung-ahee and Chung-asum, were induced to go on board the said Marie Therese by the false representations made to them by one Wong-alung.\n\nThe evidence of the two complainants was important. Chung-ahee said he was walking in the Queen's road on the 9th instant, together with his friend Chung-a-sung, and that Wong-a-lung came up to them, and after some conversation asked them how they would like to go on board ship and work in the harbour; they agreed to go to work, and Wong-a-lung gave them a paper, which he (Wong-a-lung) said the officer on board would require: they went on board, but were not required to work. Wishing to return to the shore, they applied to Lai-a-soo, the interpreter on board, but were told to wait and speak to the \"master\" when he came on board. The mother of witness came off to see him on the 15th inst., but was not admitted on board. Afterwards he was let go, when the police officers came on board. Chung-a-sung gave almost similar evidence, saying that he went on board to work in the harbour, and not to go to a foreign country. The paper given to these men by Wong-a-lung was as follows: \"I have agreed to go to the Dutch Guiana for the same purposes as mentioned in an agreement, as per translation.\" Then followed a translation in Chinese. Chung-a-sung said neither he nor his companion could read either the English or Chinese of the paper, and they were both ignorant of its real contents.\n\nWee-leen-tai, the mother of Chung-a-hee, and aunt of Chung-a-sung, said she heard her son was being detained on board the Marie Therese, and accordingly went off to see them on the 13th instant; but on arriving alongside the vessel she was warned off; she nevertheless managed to speak to her son from the boat she was in. On returning to the shore she went and obtained officers, and delivered her son and nephew on the 15th instant.\n\nThe prisoner, whose name is Lai-a-soo, stated he saw the men come on board; they gave a paper the same as the other emigrants did who came to the ship. He recollected their asking to go ashore, but he had no authority or power whatsoever to let them go. The complainants had an opportunity of speaking to Mr. Styles, the Dutch Emigration Agent here, when he came on board, but they did not do so.\n\nMr. May said he would make no remarks at the present stage of the case; it was most important that Wong-a-lung should be brought up, as he was evidently the man who had induced the men to go on board.\n\nThe case is therefore remanded for a week, when it is to be hoped that the Inspector in charge of the case will produce Wong-a-lung, who, we understand, is hiding at present.\n\n### Police Intelligence, March 20th\n**BEFORE C. MAY, Esq.**\n#### COOLIE MUTINY ON BOARD THE \"MARIE THERESE\"\n\nThis case was again brought forward to-day, to endeavour to fix the assault on some particular one or two of the prisoners.\n\nMr. Caldwell appeared for the prosecution. Ka-a-hing said he was employed by Mr. Baak to procure emigrants, and he was paid $9 for every emigrant he put on board a ship, but he has to pay for their provisions during the time the vessel might be in harbour.\n\nMr. Caldwell here said Mr. Baak would like to make a statement; the witness was not employed by Mr. Baak as he had said.\n\nKa-a-hing said he was employed by Wai-shing, who is employed by Mr. Baak; he was paid by Wai-shing; he had nothing to do with Mr. Baak. He could not identify any of the prisoners as having been procured by him; he used generally to post papers on the walls at West Point, to say that a vessel was going to take emigrants; he believed Mr. Baak had other agents.\n\nMr. Caldwell explained that there was a shop at West Point called Man-fook-wah, where the coolies came to engage themselves; the Wai-shing shop had nothing to do with this matter.\n\nKa-a-hing continued: there were fourteen or more men stopping at the Man-fook-wah; they were mostly agents to get emigrants; they all stopped at the house; the whole fourteen are in partnership, and share the bounty which is received for procuring the emigrants.\n\n| Question | Answer |\n| --- | --- |\n| How many men were required to procure the coolies? | Fourteen |\n| What were their roles? | Some looked after the books, some attended to the provisions, and some were friends given shares for friendship's sake |\n\nMr. May asked how it was that it required so many as fourteen men to procure the coolies, if they all stopped in the same house?\n\nKa-a-hing said some of the men looked after the books, some attended to the provisions, and some were friends, who were given shares in the affair for friendship's sake. He got for his share about $3 a month; all men actively engaged in the Coon get $3 a month extra. There are eight men actively engaged in the Coon, and six in the country, looking for coolies. The head man's name in the Coon was Lee-a-fook. The whole of the fourteen are employed by the A-shing shop. Sometimes it is a losing business, on account of the ship waiting a long time, and the fourteen partners having a good deal to spend for provisions. Circulars are sent to the villages, and they induce the coolies to come down from their native villages. He recognised the prisoners as having all passed through the Coon. On Monday, Mr. Bank, the master of the A-shing shop, and himself went on board the Marie Therese, hearing there was a disturbance going on on board.\n\nMr. Caldwell said no emigrant could go on board without a sort of short permit from the Coon.\n\nKa-a-hing, further examined, said: When the coolies came to the Coon they were shown a paper of agreement, stating how much the coolies would get if they went to Holland and how many years they would have to go for. They could not be engaged anywhere else, or get a paper of agreement anywhere but at the Coon (Man-fook-wah). The coolies were sometimes kept in the Coon a few days. The paper which is given to the coolies before they go on board was the same as shown to him. If the emigrant, on getting on board, was to say he would rather stay at Hongkong, he would not be sent, but he must be seen by the mate.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-131 - Sir MacDonnell - 1868 [6-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 274758, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-131 - Sir MacDonnell - 1868 [6-7]", "page_number": 393, "title": "CO129-131 - Sir MacDonnell - 1868 [6-7]", "content_text": "## Geographic Locations and Descriptions\n\nTring Loong Law \n大山 \nJaи - Wen \nMah Chui Cok \nKai Shui Moon \nToing Xe Moon \nVe Bah Chou \nTai Yee Shan Kok \nStore Low Be \nTai Lan Fe \nChoi Kong Moon.\n\nYoung Shue Wan \n\nTsing thee \n\nA \n此處說要可以設容 \nThis is a dangerous and important place, marked \nand ships can anchor.

The evidence of several of the passengers revealed gross dereliction of duty on the part of Captain Middleton during the passage. The Dayspring sailed from the port of Hongkong on the 20th of May, with ninety-six Chinese, and two European passengers. The crew consisted of four Europeans (without a first mate), and a number of South Sea Islanders. After having been at sea for about sixty days, all hands were placed on a short allowance of rations. On reaching cold latitudes the crew became sick, and scorbutic symptoms became manifest among the passengers. On or about the 10th of August a scurvy patient expired, and after that date \"the Chinamen commenced to die fast.\" The provisions supplied to the passengers were inferior to those served out to the ship's crew—in fact, they were not only inferior in quality, but seriously curtailed in quantity. After a miserable passage of 104 days, the ship dropped her anchor off Queenscliff on the 4th inst. Previously to slipping the anchor a Chinese doctor, who was one of the passengers, died of scurvy, and during the following night another Chinaman succumbed to the loathsome disease. Both bodies were subsequently thrown overboard, without having any kind of weight attached to them. On arriving in Hobson's Bay, and after the vessel had anchored, another unfortunate passenger died, and his body was likewise thrown over the side of the vessel—with the additional precaution in this instance of having a weight attached to it.\n\nThe \"second mate\" of the vessel swore that the salt fish doled out to the unfortunate Chinese \"was not fit for food for Europeans\" while the ample statements made by other witnesses examined testified to the fact of there not being a single anti-scorbutic article of diet on board the vessel.\n\nThe Coroner acquainted the jury that he had not taken the evidence of Mr Langdon, the cabin passenger, who is at present an inmate of the Melbourne Hospital. He would mention that it was not his intention to close the investigation without Mr Langdon's evidence, as he (the coroner) considered it would be important.\n\nArchibald Miller, examined,—I was a passenger by the Dayspring from Hong Kong. All the passengers and the crew, with the exception of one cabin passenger, were in good health when we left Hong-kong. The cabin passenger's name is William Abbott Langdon. He is the superintendent of water police at Hongkong. I cannot say if the ship bore a good reputation at Hongkong. Sickness first appeared among the Chinese, about six weeks after we left port. The first death occurred about three weeks after that time. A second death occurred about a week after the first, and then the deaths became frequent. The sufferers appeared to have swollen limbs. I did not consider the Chinamen were well treated throughout the passage. The sauces and pickled onions served out to them were not good. The rice was good. The turnips, yams, and sweet potatoes were bad. The provisions were good at the commencement of the voyage, but they got bad afterwards. The salt fish was bad, but the pork was good. The beef was good, but the Chinese did not seem to care about it. Towards the end of the voyage the beef, pork, and pickled eggs got bad. I saw some lime-juice served out to the Chinese, shortly after the sickness appeared, and while we were in the Gillolo Passage. Lime-juice was served out twice a week for a period of three weeks. It was given to those only who were sick. I did not see any lime-juice served out to the South Sea Islanders. I heard the captain say that the sickness among the Chinese was scurvy. I have seen water running down between decks. It was caused by a leakage in the decks. About a week after its appearance the captain got the decks caulked and pitched. The water got in between decks after the caulking was finished. The crew consisted of eight South Sea Islanders, a second carpenter, a mate, a steward, and the captain. The captain did not always keep his watch, but was occasionally relieved by one of the South Sea Islanders. The second carpenter (Joseph Rowland) kept the captain's watch for about two weeks before we came to anchor. I never saw the South Sea Islanders put out or take in sail without orders. Sandstrou, the second mate, always kept his own watch. After leaving Hongkong we were becalmed for twenty-seven days, and afterwards we experienced squally weather. The Chinamen did not get the same quality of provisions as the other passengers; I think the beef supplied to them was superior to that served out to the other passengers. About a month after leaving port, provisions began to run short, and all hands were placed on short rations. Sickness appeared shortly afterwards. I heard no complaints from the Chinamen; but if they had complained I could not understand them. They were not ill-used, but I have seen water thrown over them, because they came too far aft to speak to their countrymen in the cabin. The captain went below on one or two occasions after death had occurred, for the purpose of looking after the Chinamen. I consider the captain was careless with respect to the lives of the passengers. There was no code of signals on board. The vessel was knocking about the Heads for about a fortnight before coming to anchor. Three deaths occurred at the Heads. The captain manifested no sympathy either for the passengers or the crew during their illness.\n\nTo the Coroner.—The between decks were cleaned out once only. A passenger requested the captain to use chloride of lime. The captain said it would be necessary, but he failed to use it. There were twenty-five tins of preserved meat on board when we left port. The tins varied in size from 5lb. to 7lb. The entire of those provisions were used in the cabin. The captain behaved harshly towards his crew, and used to strike them with his fist several times a day.\n\nCheo Long, whose evidence was interpreted, said, produce a provision diary of the various stores which were served out during the voyage. The day after leaving port we were reduced in firewood by sixty pounds; we received 140lb. instead of 200lb. When at sea about forty-five days all the stores decreased in quantity. About the fifty-third day out the rice became short. Lime-juice was served out only four or five times during the voyage. I received a pannikinful each time. Each man received a pannikinful.\n\nTo Mr Stephen.—The ship was chartered by Wo Hang and Co., of Hongkong. They supplied the provisions for the voyage, and they appointed me to act as interpreter. There was not sufficient wood served out for cooking purposes. The captain distributed one full pannikin of lime-juice to serve for the whole of the passengers. On one occasion he gave out an extra half pannikin.\n\nThe evidence of the Chinese cook was taken, but it was merely a corroboration of the foregoing facts. He swore the captain never went below among the berths during the voyage. The between decks were swept once a week, and were never washed or scraped.\n\nHong Ah Chee, another of the passengers, said that on one occasion, while endeavouring to shelter himself from a shower of rain on deck, the captain came up to him, and kicked him in the side.\n\nThe proceedings were then adjourned until four o'clock on Wednesday next.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-133 - Sir MacDonnell - 1868 [10-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 276096, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-134 - Public Offices - 1868", "page_number": 156, "title": "CO129-134 - Public Offices - 1868", "content_text": "## QUANTITY.\n\n| Quantity | Detailed Description of Articles | Rate | Net Cash | Amount |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| | Amount brought forward » | | | |\n| | Copper tubes, well lagged and finished with brass moulding and a dome, fitted with water gauge, gauge cocks, blow off cocks, pressure gauges, jet whistle, steam pipe.

His reason for going first to the Hospital to ask permission for his brother's entry, was that he did not know that it was so perfectly public.\n\nDr. Cochrane, recalled, stated he remembered deceased being taken to the Hospital, and also recollected how dirty the body was, and he was of opinion the deceased was ill for a week or more, but he could not say if death was accelerated by want of proper treatment. He could not say if laying off a blanket at night would hasten death, for the majority of the cases of jaundice brought to him were almost utterly hopeless.\n\nNg-tye-sing, dealer in Celestial cast-off raiments, &c., said he knew Wye-a-po, who was sent to the Yee-tsze ten days ago. He was landlord of the house where Wye-a-po lived, and he said he wished that some relation would come and take him away. He himself sent Wye-a-po on ahead in a chair. When he got to the Yee-tsze, he found that Wye-a-po was refused admittance, on the ground that he was not in a dying state. He paid a woman at the hospital 300 cash, and then the sick man was let in. The cash was given voluntarily to boil something for Wye-a-po, and look after him a little. (This Wye-a-po is in the Civil Hospital alive.)\n\nSi-a-chee, master of the Fook-show coffin shop, said between the book produced—it was a record of coffins sold—but only four appeared as for emigrants.\n\nThe Coroner then said he was prepared to place the case in the jury's hands, and although it had been a long enquiry, yet the case was a serious one, and required to be thoroughly looked into. He certainly thought the case would have been more serious at first, but after the long investigation all endeavour to fix the responsibility on some one had failed. The first question for the jury to decide would be, who was the deceased, and how he died? The name of the deceased was unknown, but he certainly thought that there could be no doubt deceased was an emigrant, and came from the “Kwong-kee.\" He had found that emigration was an excellent thing for China, but in carrying out the arrangements for it, that many abuses appeared. Even Mr. D. R. Caldwell, with his long experience of China and the Chinese, could not entirely check the abuses. (The Coroner then referred to Mr. Lister's evidence, touching the state in which he found the Yee-tsze, but that has already been prominently before the public.) The second question which the jury would have to turn their minds to, was how the deceased died. Dr. Cochrane had, in his evidence, stated that deceased died from jaundice, but he had also said that he could not give his opinion whether the filth in which the deceased was found would accelerate death. He (Coroner) did not think that anything had occupied the public attention, and caused so much sensation as this enquiry, and therefore the jury must consider that they were representing the public in the matter. It was therefore expected that, over and above the decision as to the deceased's death, the jury would express their opinion as to the Yee-tsze establishment. It would have to be an exceedingly strong verdict for him to disagree with it, and he only hoped that the verdict they would return, would be such that an abuse of the kind would never again appear in this colony; with these remarks he would leave the matter in their hands.\n\nThe Jury then retired, and after an absence of three quarters of an hour, returned the following verdict:----\n\n\"We are of opinion that deceased died from natural causes; that a thorough and efficient inspection of the Yee-tsze has not been carried out by the person whose duty it was to pay attention to the state of the place. We deem it our duty to request you to forward to his Excellency the Governor our recommendation, that if the Yee-tsze is to continue open, and be considered as a Hospital any longer, that some efficient and responsible officer be appointed to control the place in future; or if the Yee-tsze is to be permitted to remain a receptacle for dying Chinese, that not only a thorough inspection, but properly framed rules shall exist for the future.\n\nWe, however, consider that a further continuance of the Yee-tsze in any shape is neither desirable nor necessary in this colony, and that a more suitable building be selected as a hospital for Chinese only, subject to proper inspection by the Colonial Surgeon.\"\n\n#\n\n(1)\n\n168\n\nDaily Press of 30 April 1884,", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-138 - Sir MacDonnell - 1869 [6-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 278858, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-138 - Sir MacDonnell - 1869 [6-7]", "page_number": 427, "title": "CO129-138 - Sir MacDonnell - 1869 [6-7]", "content_text": "Of appeal would be\n\nIn certain token.\n\nWith double\n\nthat\n\now\n\nthe receipt of that despatch the claim\n\nI cert will have been satisfied.\n\nM\n\nG.\n\n248, Hong Kong\n\n424\n\n70\n\n10167\n\nCopy\n\n6981m 742 35 07\n\nF.Co.\n\nFurther to Z.CO. 2 hov? 1869 - 11682\n\nH.

Indeed, during the course of his travels through the numerous possessions of the British Crown no sight more striking and beautiful has come under his observation.\n\nHis Royal Highness has been gratified also at learning from the authorities of Hongkong, that the numerous Chinese residents here are distinguished no less for their industry than their orderly behaviour, and general respect for the law.\n\nIn conclusion, the Duke of Edinburgh offers his heartfelt thanks to the Chinese Community, and desires them to believe that he will ever bear in mind their kindness to him, personally, during his stay in Hongkong, and he will always preserve as an agreeable memento of his visit to the Colony, the remarkable and highly artistic Address which has been presented to him.\n\n(Signed),\n\nTo the Chinese Community of Hongkong.\n\nALFRED.\n\n(55)\n\nThou art now visiting many lands.\n\nAnd glory accompanies thy Royal Banner.

On this he got into a state of righteous indignation, and declared to the sufferer that the thing was impossible. \"They can't put you in the stocks; it is absurd; they can't do it!\" The unlucky individual, however, mournfully rejoined that, whether they could do it or not, there he was in the stocks sure enough. Something of the same sort seems to be taking place at the present time with respect to crime in Hongkong. There is positive proof that offences are daily being committed, which the Police are unable to trace out; that two of the most daring and atrocious crimes, ever perpetrated in the Colony, have escaped punishment during the past year while, in the course of recent trials, sufficient has come to light to prove that the Police Force is completely disorganised. But while we are wincing under the pain of the moral pillory, which the knowledge of these facts produces, we are blandly informed that the thing is quite impossible; that the statistics show there is an enormous improvement, and that the arguments proving this are so powerful that it is perfectly impossible that the facts can exist.\n\nTo show, however, that there are very good grounds for alarm on this subject, the following crimes, which have taken place during the past week, may be mentioned. A certain Chinaman left his junk to give information about a piracy, and in his absence his junk was robbed. A few nights ago, a robbery took place at the Murray Barracks; the house of Mr. DA COSTA, in Old Bailey Street, was broken into and robbed, and that of Dr. WILKINS, Castle Road, was also broken into; and, finally, one of the Chinese teachers connected with the Government Schools was attacked in Forrest Street and robbed. As there is no mention in the Police reports of any of these offenders being brought to justice, it is to be inferred that they are still at large, and probably committing more crimes. Here, then, we have some dozen serious offences known to be committed during the month of March, of which no trace can be found by the Police, and yet, be it observed, they are of such a nature that it is impossible to believe, except on the supposition of evidence being purposely kept back, that a considerable proportion of them at least would not have been brought forward for investigation. The above plain facts scarcely bear out the assumption that Chinese, suffering from crimes, are certain to use their best endeavours to discover the criminals, upon which supposition the whole of His Excellency's argument at the Legislative Council is based.\n\nAn illustration of the manner in which Chinese are kept back from giving evidence, will be found in the Report of the Commission on the Penang Riots of 1867, at which one of the witnesses, speaking of the Ghee Hin Society, testified as follows:- \"One member assaulted by another member, must bring his complaint before the headmen, and not before the Police; if he complained to the Police he would be punished. Should a member commit robbery, arson, or murder, the chiefs are bound to assist him in escaping from justice, and a chief would be punished if he refused assistance. A criminal, assisted by the Society to escape, has his passage paid, and a sum of money given him to make a new start in life.\" That there are in Hongkong associations, which, though not of so dangerous or so important a nature as those existing in Penang, are nevertheless of a similar character, is well known; and it is beyond a question that every incentive will be offered to these combinations to become of a dangerous nature, if the Chinese be relied upon to give information as to Police matters, unless checked by a thoroughly competent European detective service. It is on this account that the peculiar working of the runners of the REGISTRAR-GENERAL and Mr. CALDWELL becomes a very momentous matter; and it is mainly in view of this point that it has been considered necessary to call prominent attention to this subject, as sufficient has come to light, in connection with the Sowkewan case and perjury cases, to give serious grounds for apprehension that, if the matter be not vigorously taken in hand, a system of secret combinations will be fostered, such as cannot but prove of the most dangerous character.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-152 - Lieut Governor Whitfield - 1871 [9-10].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 285810, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-153 - Lieut Governor Whitfield - 1871 [11-12]", "page_number": 13, "title": "CO129-153 - Lieut Governor Whitfield - 1871 [11-12]", "content_text": "## Mr. Made 126/72 das Kimberley.\n\nAre Kimberley 166/82) Honspross Entered Anowd-2376-5/3/12\n\nMr Welly came here from the Sterling firm on the 2nd of February.

and know ye further that this marriage cannot be dissolved during your lifetime, except by a valid judgment of divorce, and that if either of you, before the death of the other, shall contract another marriage while this remains undissolved, you will thereby be guilty of bigamy, and be liable to the punishment inflicted for that grievous offence,\"\n\nEach of the parties shall then say to the other \"I call upon all persons here present to witness that I, A.B., do take thee, C.D., to be my lawful wife (or husband).\"\n\nThe Registrar General and the parties and witnesses shall thereupon sign duplicate certificates in the form and manner hereinbefore prescribed.\n\nThe Registrar General shall deliver one certificate to the parties and shall file the other in his office.\n\n## 138\n\nThe minister shall deliver one certificate to the parties, immediately after the marriage, and shall transmit the other to the Registrar General within seven days thereafter, and the Registrar General shall file the same in his office.\n\nThe officiating minister shall enter in the book the names of the parties and the date of the marriage.\n\n# XXIV. \nWhenever the Governor's special licence authorises the celebration of a marriage at a place other than a registered place of worship, or the office of the Registrar General, the Registrar General upon taking the affidavit of one of the parties to the marriage, shall deliver to him a blank certificate of marriage in duplicate, and the minister celebrating the marriage, the parties and two witnesses shall sign the same, in manner hereinbefore prescribed and the minister shall deliver one certificate to the parties immediately after the marriage and shall transmit the other to the Registrar General within seven days thereafter, and the Registrar General shall file the same in his office.\n\n# XXV. \nThe Registrar General shall register all certificates of marriage filed in his office in such order and manner as he thinks best suited for easy reference thereto.\n\n# XXVI. \nAny certificate of marriage filed in the office of the Registrar General, or a copy thereof, provided it purport to be signed and certified as a true copy by the Registrar General, and to be sealed or stamped with the seal of the general register office, shall be admissible as evidence of the marriage to which the same relates in any court of justice, or before any person now or hereafter having by law or by consent of parties authority to hear, receive and examine evidence.\n\n# XXVII. \nNo marriage shall be valid which would be null and void on the ground of kindred or affinity in England or Wales.\n\nA marriage shall be null and void if both parties knowingly and wilfully acquiesce in its celebration in any place other than the office of the Registrar General or a licensed place of worship (except when authorised by special licence), or under a false name or names, or without certificate of notice or licence duly issued, or by a person not being a minister or the Registrar General or his deputy.\n\nBut no marriage shall after celebration be deemed invalid by reason that any provision of this Ordinance other than the foregoing has not been complied with.\n\n# XXVIII. \nAll marriages celebrated under this Ordinance shall be good and valid in the law to all intents and purposes.\n\n# XXIX. \nWhosoever knowing that the written consent of the proper person as herein prescribed has not been obtained shall marry or assist or procure any other person to marry a minor under the age of twenty-one years not being a widow or widower, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof, shall be liable, at the discretion of the court, to be imprisoned for any term not exceeding two years with or without hard labour.\n\nAny minister shall be guilty of a misdemeanor who wilfully celebrates a marriage, in the case of a minor, without such written consent as herein prescribed, or who wilfully celebrates...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-168 - Sir Kennedy - 1874 [9-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 294824, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-169 - Others - 1874", "page_number": 48, "title": "CO129-169 - Others - 1874", "content_text": "# 2207\n\nCopy horgo Meylors.\n\n74 Paris.

Peabody, his reign ends; and that the law can arise in majesty and say, \"So far hast thou gone but no further. Here at least, shall thy cruel steps be stayed.\" Hood sang in his pauper's funeral— \n\nRattle his bones over the stones, \n\nHe's only a pauper whom nobody owns.” And perhaps Captain Peabody sang - \n\nKick, cuff and beat. If he die bury deep; The son is our friend and the secret will keep. A dark lazarette, chains and neglect ; \n\nHe's only a sailor the law can't protect. \n\nNo, we will do our best to protect him, belong he to what nationality he may; we do not wish to coddle the sailor, but we do care for him. Poor Ellwood, we are told, \"kept up his courage as long as he could;\" that he \"came to the carpenter's room and said he did not believe he would live to get to Hongkong the way he was being treated,\" And no wonder: Charles Reade, in \"Never too late to mend,” represents the earnest chaplain of a gaol voluntarily undergoing in a dark cell solitary confinement for 24 hours that he might know what it was. Would any one like to sit astride, with his whole weight upon a knife-board, to know what Ellwood suffered when astride the boat keel? The Crown Solicitor told me he could not bear it for two minutes and this in a smooth sea, and the ship at anchor. Then to be struck on that tender part, the spine, so as to be doubled up for a fortnight. But his mind gave way and his courage failed at last, He is dragged out upon the deck, and, though not yet dead, is washed by no tender hands, as if for burial. His low moan-Ob! Oh! Oh! is the only remonstrance. The wind is gone, and after this, during the few lucid moments, the wail is uttered. My child, my child, my child,\" and James H. Ellwood is no more. We might here apply the language of the solicitor for the Captain, who remarked to the Consul on the termination of the case, \"Then that concludes the proceedings.\" No, there is one not yet. Can you imagine a sadder sight than that funeral at sea! Thank God, all buried there do not present such a spectacle. A crooked, drawn up body, wounds in the head, sores on the legs, and bruises everywhere; marks of the chain, and unless the mate Snow's salt water washing and corn broom had disentangled it, his matted and bloody locks that doubtless his child had handled lovingly. Captain Peabody tells us the funeral service was read. It is almost blasphemy to conceive of such a man reading these words over his victim's body. I wonder what parts he selected. \"The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord.\" Perhaps he began with the Psalm, I said I will take heed to my ways.\" No, I think he omitted that psalm. Then did he turn to the next, \"Lord, thou hast been our refuge.\" I think verse 8 would make him omit that: \"Thou hast set our misdeeds before thee; and our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.\" Would he turn to \"Man that is born of a woman hath but a short time to live, and is full of misery; he cometh up and is cut down like a flower.\" No, it would not do to read that. Then would he, think you, prefer this? —“Forasmuch as it hath pleased Almighty God of his great mercy to take unto himself the soul of our dear brother here departed, we therefore commit his body to the deep to be turned into corruption, looking for the resurrection of the body when the sea shall give up her dead.” How could he read that? The only passage I can imagine he could read would be this : —“ We give Thee hearty thanks for that it hath pleased Thee to deliver this our brother out of the miseries of this sinful world.\" But I will not go on, for one cannot think without shuddering, of those beautiful and familiar words being read by such a man as Captain Peabody at such a time, over such a body! Mr. Chairman, shall \"these proceedings be concluded\" thus? All England is roused to indignation by what is termed Bulgarian atrocities, All things are no longer considered lawful even in war. Shall \"Let us be tigers in our fierce department\" be relegated from the code of military maxims to the Mercantile Marine? Can we do nothing to prevent the escape from punishment of men guilty of such crimes as have been perpetrated on board the C. O. Whitmorn? One cannot help thinking of the contrast between Peabody capitalist and philanthropist, and Peabody captain, captain and commander now no longer, and we may well hope never more to be.

Only\n\nColoni\n\nry\n\n4177-H&S(12)\n\nLet's correct and reformat it according to the given rules and compact knowledge.\n\n## Step 1: Correcting spelling errors and making reasonable additions\nThe text contains several spelling errors and unclear words. For instance, \"Venetort\" could be \"Venetian\", \"Strong hong\" is likely \"Hong Kong\", \"Goal fie\" and \"Goal\" might refer to \"Gaol\" (an old term for jail), \"Hetering\" could be \"Hennessy\" (as seen in the correction), \"bom\" is likely \"been\", \"til\" is \"till\", \"liver\" is \"deliver\", and \"shee\" could be \"sheep\" or more likely \"key\" or another relevant term in the context.\n\n## Step 2: Fixing spacing issues and rejoining broken sentences\nThere are issues with spacing and potentially broken sentences due to OCR errors. For example, \"I has the\" should be \"I have the\", and there are several places where words are run together or separated incorrectly.\n\n## Step 3: Restoring paragraph breaks and indicating missing words\nThe original text seems to lack proper paragraph breaks. We need to identify natural breaks in the text to separate it into paragraphs. There are also places where words are missing or unclear, which might need indication with \"...\".\n\n## Step 4: Applying Markdown formatting\nThe task requires transforming the text into standard Markdown format, including headers, sub-headers, bold-type, and tables. However, the given text does not seem to contain complex structures like tables.\n\n## Step 5: Checking for file references and page numbering\nFile references should not have spaces inside parentheses, and page numbering should be preserved as is if detected.\n\nThe final answer is: \nVenetian, May po 636.\n\nHong Kong 2nd August 1877.\n\n1120\n\nVictoria Gaol fie,\n\n500\n\nVictoria Gaol.\n\nParticulars of Office of Turnkey of\n\nEnclosure No 4 in Governor J.

The Jury aforesaid are further of opinion that Inspector LEE, the aforesaid Inspector of Brothels, exceeded his powers by entering the house No. 42, Peel Street, without a Warrant or any direct authority from the Registrar General or the Superintendent of Police, and would strongly recommend that the whole system of obtaining convictions against keepers of unlicensed brothels be thoroughly revised, as the present practice is, in their opinion, both illegal and immoral.\n\nIn witness whereof, the said Coroner as well as the Jurors aforesaid, have hereunto set and subscribed their hands and seals, on the year and day first above written.\n\n[L.S.] \nJ.

XXIV.\n\n#### THE TUNG WAH HOSPITAL, HONGKONG\n\nThe following account of His Excellency The Governor's Visit to the Tung Wah Hospital on the 8th February, 1878, is extracted from the report of the China Mail, for general information.\n\n### THE GOVERNOR'S VISIT TO THE TUNG WAH HOSPITAL.\n\nHis Excellency Governor POPE HENNESSY, C.M.G., paid a ceremonial visit to the Tung Wah Hospital on the 8th of February at 3 o'clock. Early in the afternoon, the crowded streets leading to the Hospital were kept clear by a detachment of Police, composed of Europeans, Sikhs and Chinese, and the full force of the District Watchmen for this District. It was no easy matter to clear the way, as at the time of the Chinese New Year festivities the streets are unusually crowded, and the three Chinese Theatres, all in this locality, were in full swing. About 2:30 P.M. a guard of honour from the 74th Regiment, with the Regimental Band, arrived, and lined the road leading up to the Hospital. Shortly after 3 P.M., His Excellency arrived, accompanied by Mr. CREACH, acting A.D.C., and Private Secretary NORTHCOTE; and Admiral HILLYAR, accompanied by Secretary PARISH and Flag-Lieutenant WILLOUGHBY, preceded a few minutes before by Dr. MOWLL, formerly of H.M.S. Vigilant. Among the foreign visitors present to witness the ceremony, were Mr. HAYLLAR, Q.C., Rev. Dr. E. J. EITEL, Mr. J. J. FRANCIS, and Mr. D'ALMADA. The Chinese community was very fully represented, there being present nearly 300 influential native residents from all classes of the community; and of those present some 50 or 60 were in their Mandarin costumes, some with blue buttons, some with crystal, and some with gold buttons; while a few had the additional honour of wearing the peacock's feather. Among those in uniform, we observed: Messrs. LEONG ON, CHUN TING CHEE, KWOK ACHEONG, CHEANG SING YEONG, LING HO WOON, WONG YIK PAN, WAI AKWONG, NG CHOY, CHUN AYIN, FUNG MING SHAN, WONG KWAN TONG, NG Sang, WONG SHING, NG CHEUK CHEE, and others.\n\nOn the arrival of His Excellency and party, the Band of H.M. 74th Regiment struck up a familiar strain; while as the Governor and party entered, a salute of three guns was fired and some Chinese music was performed. Those of the Chinese who were in uniform then placed themselves in two lines from the door up to the Hall, and saluted the Governor and Admiral in proper Chinese style. His Excellency was then conducted to the top of an oblong table, with Admiral HILLYAR on his right and Dr. MOWLL on his left. After all were seated, tea, and refreshments in the shape of confectionery were brought in. The Governor and party were conducted through the patients' wards, and then back to the Hall.\n\nThis over, Mr. NG CHOY then rose and said: - YOUR EXCELLENCY AND GENTLEMEN, I have been asked to be spokesman on this occasion, and I have accepted that honour with very great pleasure, though I think there may be more competent persons present to undertake the task. In the first place, I have been requested to thank Your Excellency, for your kind visit here to-day, on behalf of the Chinese community of Hongkong. We are here to receive and welcome Your Excellency in this hall. I may be permitted to say that we have represented every class of the Chinese community. The gentlemen here represent the Committee of this Hospital, Merchants, Compradores, Shopkeepers, and, in fact, every trade and profession in this Colony. We have thought it advisable to commit what we have to say on this occasion to writing, and to consider it well before doing so. Your Excellency may take this address, which we shall have the honour to present to you, as expressing not only our own views, who are here, but the unanimous sentiment of the Chinese community. This address is in two parts; one part is in Chinese and the other part is in English. The latter is a free translation of the first, and, with Your Excellency's permission, we shall read the Chinese part first, and then I shall follow by reading the English part. I will now call upon my Chinese friend, to read the Chinese part.\n\nMr. WONG KWAN TONG then read the address in Chinese.\n\n4 \nMr. Lowerek on behalf of the Unofficial Members expressed approval of this.\n\n5. Saving previously discussed the question very fully in the Executive Council, I found that they all concurred in my views. When the proposed conference has indicated the nature of the reforms that are required I shall submit them to your Lordship for approval.\n\nI have the honor to be, My Lord, Your Lordship's most Obedient, Stumble Brant\n\nInclosure 17 in Governor Pope Hennessy's Despatch No. 2147 20th Feby, 1875 - \nTHE HONGKONG Government Gazette. \nNo. 7. \nPage 175 \n\n## \nPage 363 \n... \nNo text on this page.\n\n## \nNo more text related to the initial pages.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-181 - Governor Hennessy - 1878 [1-8].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 302027, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-181 - Governor Hennessy - 1878 [1-8]", "page_number": 188, "title": "CO129-181 - Governor Hennessy - 1878 [1-8]", "content_text": "# Governor.

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

It will be kept by me as a pleasing memento of the Chinese community of Hongkong. In other colonies during my recent travels I have also met countrymen of yours, and I have found the rulers of those colonies recognising your good qualities of frugality, industry, and enterprise. Such qualities go far to account for the prosperous condition in which I see you all here. I am now leaving Hongkong to visit your country, and I am sure I shall see much that will be very interesting to me. For this handsome address I must again thank you most sincerely, and I shall never forget the kindness shown to me by the people here. I wish that prosperity may continue to be enjoyed by you.\n\nAt the request of His Excellency the Governor, Mr. Ng Choy introduced the other members of the deputation to the General.\n\nThe deputation then withdrew. The address, which was sixteen feet long by four feet wide, an extremely handsome scroll, was embroidered in gold on a strip of crimson satin about ten feet long, with a rich deep border, exquisitely embroidered. The characters are written in Chinese. On the top of the scroll is written the address, on the right side is General Grant's name in Chinese, and on the opposite side are the signatures. In the centre are four large Chinese characters, viz:- \"Wai Kap Wa Man\" (Benefit to Chinese people.) The scroll was packed in a teak wood box.\n\nIn response to the invitation of His Excellency the Governor, the officials, naval, military, and civil, as well as a large number of the general community, assembled shortly before eleven o'clock a.m. at Murray Pier to see General Grant and party embark for the U.S.S. Ashuelot. There were present the Chief Justice (Sir John Smale), His Excellency Major-General Donovan; Commodore Smith; the Hon. W. H. Marsh, Colonial Secretary; Hon. J. Russell, Attorney-General; Hon. M. S. Tonnochy, Acting-Colonial Treasurer; Hon. J. M. Price, Surveyor-General; Hon. P. Ryrie, Hon. W. Keswick, and Hon. H. B. Gibb, Members of the Legislative Council; the Acting Puisne Judge; Hon. C. B. Plunket; Colonel Geddes, 27th Regiment; Colonel Sherwin-ton, Assistant Commissary-General; Colonel Moore, Commissary-General of Ordnance; Colonel Mosby, U. S. Consul; Mr. Taro Ando, Japanese Consul; Captain Kasama, H.I.J.M. corvette Nissin; a good sprinkling of naval and military officers and a number of the residents. The police, under Captain-Superintendent Deane, lined the road from Government House to the pier, upon which was drawn up a company of the 27th Inniskillings with their colours and band. Punctually at eleven o'clock the General and his party, with His Excellency the Governor and Mrs. Hennessy, arrived at Murray Pier, when General Grant gave his arm to Mrs. Hennessy while the Governor escorted Mrs. Grant to the head of the pier. The guard of honour presented arms, and the band played as they passed. Arrived at the steps, the General and his party exchanged adieux with those present, and as they stepped into the Government launch Mr. Hennessy called for three cheers for General Grant, which invitation was warmly responded to, and one cheer more for Mrs. Grant added. His Excellency the Governor, Mrs. Hennessy, Colonel Mosby, Major Palmer, R.E., A.D.C., and Dy. Paymaster Eastlake accompanied the party to the Ashuelot. As the launch steamed away from the pier the band of the 27th played their Farewell March to Gosport, which included \"Over the Sea\" and \"Good bye, Sweetheart.\" On passing the Spanish gunboat Marques del Duero, and the German corvette Luise, the marines on both vessels were drawn up and saluted the launch, the band on the Luise playing \"Hail Columbia.\" Captain Mortimer L. Johnson, the new commander of the Ashuelot, received the General and party on board and conducted them to the hurricane deck, where there were in waiting Mr. and Mrs. Forbes, Admiral Polo (Spanish Navy), Captain Sobering (H.I.G.M. Navy), Dr. Von der Horck, and Mrs. Eastlake. After the final farewells had been taken, the Governor, Mrs. Hennessy, Colonel Mosby, and Major Palmer left in the Government launch. On His Excellency leaving the Ashuelot he was saluted by that vessel. The Ashuelot shortly afterwards left for Swatow.\n\nMr. Afong, the photographer, has taken an excellent view of the embarkation.\n\nPage 338", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-184 - Governor Hennessy - 1879 [1-5].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 303793, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-184 - Governor Hennessy - 1879 [1-5]", "page_number": 385, "title": "CO129-184 - Governor Hennessy - 1879 [1-5]", "content_text": "# Petition and Statement\n\nThat Your Petitioners are of opinion that the perseverance of Mr. Chan Chee-lung in abusing the liberality of the Government and deceiving the undersigned masters is extremely great, and your Petitioners therefore proceed to speak out without bitter concealment.\n\nThat the undersigned masters can but place the circumstances of the case plainly in this plaint for the information of H.E. the Governor, and humbly beg the Inspector of Schools to lay this complaint before His Excellency, so that a searching inquiry be instituted and redress be obtained.\n\nAnd your petitioners will ever pray.\n\nThe 18th January 1879.

The matter was in the street about 14 days before the gratuities were paid - I did not know that it would occasion a gratuity - But, since one asked me to bribe Mr. Chui Chee Yeung from money, I replied \"I have worked but if I receive a gratuity, I will pay you\". I paid him $2 3 days after I got the gratuity - I paid the sum ($6) to him personally, in meeting him in the street.

You are well aware that subscriptions are proposed and everyone is willing to give, but an active working Committee is required to carry the thing out. I have now, ladies and gentlemen, to propose to you a number of names to form that Committee. I am perfectly certain that when you hear the names you will all assent. In electing these gentlemen you elect not only a representative body but gentlemen who will really carry out the object for which we are met to-day, and that is, the collecting of subscriptions for the relief of the distress in Ireland, remitting the money home, and other matters that come within the scope of a Committee's duty. I will now, with your permission, read out the names: His Excellency the Governor, His Excellency the Admiral and Family, Admiral Coori, His Excellency General DONOVAN, His Honour the Chief Justice, Sir JOHN SMAL Adamson, H.

JACKSON, Esquire, Honorary Treasurer.—(Loud applause.) A. F., I think, ladies and gentlemen, the selection is one that will meet with the approval of you all. I therefore, with the permission of His Excellency, propose that these gentlemen be elected as Committee.\n\nThe COLONIAL SECRETARY said he had great pleasure in seconding the resolution, and he thought the names must meet with general approval.\n\nThe Resolution was carried nem. con.\n\nThe Bishop—Ladies and Gentlemen, I beg to propose a vote of thanks to His Excellency for initiating this movement amongst us. There is a naturalness in its coming from His Excellency, as the country we are interested in at this moment is his own, but in the matter of benevolence we know neither country, nor sect, nor creed.—(Applause.) I am very sure that His Excellency would have been equally forward to initiate a similar movement had it been for any other country, for instance, our own poor country of Scotland, which, as we all know, is very productive of rocks, but is happily not subject to famines.—(Applause.)\n\nThe meeting then terminated.\n\n## SUBSCRIPTION LIST\n\n| Name | Amount |\n| --- | --- |\n| ... | ... |\n| Brought forward | $3,357.10 |\n| Ho Hong | 5.00 |\n| clay | 2.10 |\n| foot, P. | |\n| Barretto, E.

Since my return from leave of absence in England, the labelling of plants in the Gardens has been proceeded with as fast as circumstances permitted.\n\n16. Interchanges of plants and seeds have been actively carried on with various Gardens and correspondents in British Colonies, England, and other countries.\n\n17. The number of Plants sent out was 3,687, and of packets of Seeds 295 to 48 recipients, included in 68 consignments.\n\n18. The contributions were 903 Plants and 233 packets of Seeds from 31 different sources; of these the principal were:-\n\nAn HEEP, Compradore Messrs. BUTTERFIELD & SWIRE; Chinese Fibres.\n\nALDERTON, Capt.; choice ornamental Japanese plants and seeds of Pinus Massoniana.\n\nBENNAYS, L. A., Vice-President, Queensland Acclimatisation Society; three Wardian cases of orchids, palms, ferns, and various plants; and three consignments of seeds, including a large quantity of Eucalyptus citriodora.\n\nBRAND, E., Shanghai; Geraniums.\n\nCARROLL, J.

Thanks are particularly due to Messrs. GIBB, LIVINGSTON & Co., the Agents of the E. A. R. S. S. Company, for their great kindness in conveying plants and seeds free of cost, to Messrs. JARDINE MATHESON & Co., DOUGLAS LAPRAIK & Co., and the CANTON STEAMBOAT COMPANY for similar services; and also to the Captains and Officers of the many steamers for the care which has been bestowed on the various consignments.\n\n20. Rhagodia hastata, the \"salt bush\" of Australia, upon which cattle and sheep feed during droughts, has been introduced and planted on the hills for trial; it has grown vigorously during the dry season, and will probably be useful in future for fodder, which is much required by cow-keepers.\n\n21. Euchlaena luxurians, a new fodder grass, was received from Kew Gardens, and grown last year. Under cultivation it grew very rapidly and reached a height of 15 feet, but plants which were planted on the hill-side and left to themselves only attained 5 feet high and were yellow and sickly. I think it is unsuited for our soil.\n\n22. Another Shrub, indigenous to the Canaries and called \"Tagasaste” (Cytisus proliferus) is said to be much liked by goats and cattle. Seeds of it have been received from Kew Gardens and plants raised from them have just been planted on the hills.\n\n23. In consequence of the change announced by His Excellency the Governor in Council on November 6th, 1879, which restored the Botanical Department to independency and entirely disconnected it from the Survey Department, the business of this Department has been much facilitated and increased in usefulness. The working of the Tree Planting Establishment with Chinese assistants has given me much satisfaction.\n\n24. With the contemplated extension of usefulness which is desired from these Gardens, similar to the work done by other Botanical Gardens, I shall endeavour to accomplish, with the aid that is always accorded to institutions of this kind, the work that is expected from us. I would take this opportunity of inviting the aid of all persons interested in Botanical work. Persons travelling, or located in different parts of China, frequently have opportunities of obtaining information on vegetable products, and of collecting plants and seeds, which I should be pleased to receive so as to make these Gardens the \"head quarters of investigation, whether scientific or merely utilitarian, into Chinese Vegetation\" as suggested by Sir JOSEPH D. HOOKER.\n\n25. As showing the good which Botanic Gardens may do for the different British dependencies as well as for their own respective colonies or countries, I extract the following remarks from Sir JOSEPH D. HOOKER's Report for the year 1878 on the Royal Gardens, Kew:-\n\n\"Exchanges and correspondence are constantly maintained between Kew and the numerous Botanic Gardens which exist in British dependencies. This constant intercommunication is, on the one hand, indispensable to the maintenance and perfection of the Kew Collections, on the other hand, it is of great advantage in facilitating the exchange from one garden to another of the vegetable products of different parts of the Empire. I am anxious, however, to see the Botanic Gardens establish to a much greater extent than at present, a chain of independent interchanges, which would increase their own usefulness and enormously facilitate the work which is done at Kew.\n\nHILL, WALTER, Brisbane Botanic Gardens; seven Wardian cases containing plants of Acrostichum, A. alcicorne, Dendrobium Hilli, ferns, palms, and various useful and ornamental plants, and seeds Eucalyptus citriodora, fodder grasses, &c.\n\nHELLAND, ADOLPH, Foochow; bamboos \"mow cluck.\"\n\nHUMPHREYS, J. D.; seeds of trees, shrubs and annuals.\n\nJOHNSON, Capt.; orchids.\n\nKURODA, His Excellency, Japan; Japanese Conifers and Azaleas.\n\nMATSUGATA, His Excellency, Minister of the Interior, Japan; Valuable Japanese plants.\n\nMARIES, CHARLES; collection, Japanese plants and seeds.\n\nMURTON, H. J., Singapore Botanic Gardens; two Wardian cases, Garcinia Hamburyi, Willughbeia martabani, Bulbophyllum Beccarii, and valuable palms, ferns, and other plants and seeds.\n\n\"We have attempted, for example, to send plants to Fiji, but with but little success, on account of the great distance. Any particular plant could, however, be established in Ceylon with moderate difficulty, from thence it would be sent to Singapore and so on to Brisbane and Sydney, and finally to Fiji. At each successive stage, in case of a failure, the difficulty of renewing the attempt would be much smaller than if it were necessary to start afresh from Kew.\n\n\"I am the more led to make these remarks from having had my attention repeatedly drawn by applications made to Kew from residents in the colonies, to the fact that some of the most important functions of a colonial Botanic Garden are often apt to be lost sight of. Such institutions are obviously likely in most cases sooner or later to develop into the pleasure grounds of the towns and cities near which they are situated. But without disparaging their public usefulness in this respect, it is important that their primary function of promoting the botanical interests of their respective colonies should not be forgotten.\n\n\"That there is some risk of this happening, I can only assume from the constant applications made direct to Kew for information, seeds or plants which it is clearly the business of the Botanic Garden of the applicants' colony either to supply or procure.\n\n\"This leads to another point. No colonial garden can discharge its functions efficiently if the superintendent does not occasionally make journeys with a view to discovering new and interesting plants for the purpose of interchange with other Establishments. But the demands made upon his time often prevent the superintendent attending to this part of his duty, which is so important in keeping up an imperial system of exchange, besides promoting the interest of the garden under his charge, and varying the monotony of a life of unintelligent routine.\n\n\"I am afraid that this is sometimes overlooked by the local governments and managers; one superintendent is tied by meteorological observations, another by growing vegetables for sale. In every case where some obstacle of this kind is allowed to override the legitimate freedom of action of the superintendent, I am convinced the interests of his establishment suffer in a variety of ways, and that the policy is a short-sighted one.\"\n\nPOATE, F.

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

I have got no assistance from any one with my passage money.\n\nIt is my own savings. I have never been abroad before. I have been in Hongkong 17 days, living in the \"Tin-i-tong.\" I have paid 50 cents for board.\n\nI had about 26 taels when I left Shek-ki. I have been at Shek-k'i from my birth. I earned about $3 a month. I am married and have two children.\n\nWONG A-CHAN (No. 712).-My uncle wants me to go to Sydney. He lives there. I paid my own passage: that is, my mother gave me the money. I am going with a brother. There are four of us going from Pák-shek. This is the first time I have been abroad. I have to return no portion of my earnings to any one for my passage. I will send money to my mother. My uncle is a coolie in the On-cheung Hong in Sydney. I am going to dig gold. I was a coolie in a cuttle-fish shop in Pák-shek. I earned a dollar a month. I brought $45 with me to Hongkong. I have been 5 days here. I lived in the \"I-on,\" Praya West, with friends.

In this way, we examined ten men, occupying two hours in so doing. We annex notes of the evidence, from which we satisfied ourselves that, if the emigrants were not free and under no contract of service, it would be impossible for us to show that they were not.\n\nUnder these circumstances, we thought we had sufficiently carried out our instructions, and were preparing to leave, when His Excellency's Minute of the 26th instant was received. This was shown to the Emigration Officer, who was also informed that it would be communicated to him in the usual official way.\n\nFREDERICK STEWART,\nActing Colonial Secretary.\n\nJOIN GERRARD,\nActing Registrar General.\n\nHongkong, 26th April, 1881.\n\nNOTES OF EVIDENCE TAKEN AT AN EXAMINATION OF EMIGRANTS ON THE 26TH APRIL, 1881.\n\nLAM CHIU-SAM (No. 657).—\nI am a gardener. I am going to Cooktown. I have paid my own passage: $32. No relatives go with me. I have been a gardener in Shek-k'i. I have got no assistance from any one with my passage money. It is my own savings. I have never been abroad before. I have been in Hongkong 17 days, living in the “Tin-i-t'ong.” I have paid 50 cents for my board. I had about 26 taels when I left Shek-ki. I have been at Shek-k'i from birth. I earned about $3 a month. I am married and have two children.\n\nWONG A-CHAN (No. 712).—My uncle wants me to go to Sydney. He lives there. I paid my own passage: that is, my mother gave me the money. I am going with a brother. There are four of us going from Pák-shek. This is the first time I have been abroad. I have to return no portion of my earnings to any one for my passage. I will send money to my mother. My uncle is a coolie in the On-cheung Hong in Sydney. I am going to dig gold. I was a coolie in a cuttle-fish shop in Pák-shek. I earned a dollar a month. I brought $45 with me to Hongkong. I have been 5 days here. I lived in the \"I-on,\" Praya West, with friends. I paid nothing.

Your long connection with the School, extending over a period of more than twenty years, has made you the benefactor of thousands of youths in this colony and elsewhere, many of whom owe their success in life mainly to your liberal education, wise discipline, and careful training. As Head Master you have laboured long and perseveringly for the school, sparing neither time nor pains, and it must be gratifying to you to witness the satisfactory results of your arduous labours in seeing so many of your old pupils occupying numerous important and useful positions in this colony and other parts of the world. (Applause.) It is no less gratifying to you, I am sure, to meet such a number of them this afternoon in this old school-room where we have so often met before, and to receive from them their personal assurance of their deep appreciation and grateful acknowledgment of your valuable services, rendered to them and to their fellow countrymen. I assure you it gives us all very great pleasure to meet you here to-day, and you will do us much honour and favour by accepting from us the small token of regard and affection we now present to you in the shape of a scholarship founded in your name. May you long be preserved to the service of your country, and to the welfare and prosperity of this Colony. (Applause.) I now crave leave to read the address:— \n\nHongkong, February, 1884. The Honourable FREDERICK STEWART, LL.D., late Head Master of the Government Central School, Hongkong, \n\nDEAR SIR,—There has been a general and spontaneous feeling amongst your old pupils that some means should \n\nbe devised to express in some measure their grateful and profound esteem for yourself personally, and your most valuable services and work in connection with education in this Colony during a period of more than twenty years. The scope and value of your past services can only be adequately estimated or properly appreciated by those whom you sought to benefit by your learning, high personal example, constant kindness, indefatigable energy and wise discipline, and so we, who have been among the fortunate recipients of the fruits of your labour, wish to express our grateful remembrance and appreciative recognition in a becoming manner. \n\nThis is our object in coming before you to-day, and it is our desire in the first place, to give expression to the deep feelings of personal regard and high esteem which we in common with those of your pupils who are prevented by unavoidable causes from signing the address \n\nEnclosure \n\nC O. \n\n4283 \n\nROD \n\nor being present to-day, cherish towards you, and, secondly, to ask your permission to the founding of a scholarship at the Government Central School to be called \"The Stewart Scholarship,\" the funds necessary to endowing it having been subscribed for this express purpose by late pupils and scholars, who saw in this a way to give you a slight token of the honour and affectionate remembrance in which your distinguished connection with the School as Head Master for more than twenty years is held by them. We remain, yours very faithfully, \n\nHo Kai, Chairman \n\nWei Yuk, Hon. Treasurer Wong Yat Sun, Hon. Secretary Chun Shing Kong, Hon. Secretary \n\nCOMMITTEE. \n\nChan Shun Fat Ng Pai Wei Leon Ho Chang Sang Sin Siu Choang Lak Y Leong Su Kwong Yoon Mun Choy Chan Kai Ming Cheang Yu Koot \n\nLak Hing Nam Kom Cha Seung \n\nIru Yow \n\nHo Chi \n\nHa Pak \n\nChow Chu \n\nFung Shui \n\nU Lai Un Chan U Fai \n\nSUBSCRIBERS. \n\nChoy Tan Chong Tam Tsun \n\nHo Tsun Tsang Kit Fan Kan Shin Fo Chan Long Hica Wong \n\nApat Chan Achew Lo Aruck \n\nTip Ping Kwan \n\nWong Saik Chee \n\nTam I Nam Luk Tit Fo Fang You Lai Kau Lam Yat Chun Kin Wing Chan Pau \n\nKwan Chak Lam Leong A Than \n\nChoong Ho \n\nTan Kwan Un Chan Ree Kwok Chik Kan \n\nHo Kun Moon \n\nHo Tsink Sin \n\nTeau Ying Koa \n\nYoung Kit Chaen \n\nChan A Sang Kwok Yang Kam \n\nChan Wing Yim \n\nChan Won Fun Trang Kum Chiu Ko Chim Yuen Ho Ha Sing \n\nLie Yne Foong Choung Shing Chan Ngui Him Chang Shan Pang Ting Ching Want Hin Chong \n\nFILE YRG \n\nNg Yaoi Wei Sung Wei Took Wei Kut \n\nSoo Kwai Sang \n\nHo Fus \n\nTang Wing Shing \n\nHung Kam Shing Hong Kam Ning Lam Su \n\nLam Ping Young Fung Chuen Chan Taung Fat Chau Pak \n\nDr. STEWART, in accepting the address, said Dr. Ho Kai and gentlemen, I thank you most heartily for this memorable token of your good will, and for the gracious terms in which you have presented it. Those \"deep feelings of personal regard and high esteem,\" to which you have given expression in this address, I most cordially reciprocate. There is no portion of my past life to which I look back with greater pleasure than the years I spent at the Central School. When I think of the support which I invariably received from the community, and the untiring efforts of my scholars to profit by the instruction they received, I feel that I should be wanting in my duty if I did not avail myself of this opportunity to convey to those who treated me with such forbearance and confidence the assurance of my sincerest gratitude. But apart altogether from the honour you have this day conferred on me personally by endowing this scholarship and calling it by my name, I desire to assure you that it would have been impossible for you to have done anything which I appreciate so much as this substantial boon which you have bestowed upon the old school. I trust that those who may hereafter be successful in winning it will do as much as you have done to uphold the credit of the school, and continue to manifest the same feelings of regard towards it and towards all who are called upon to take part in the instruction of your successors. \n\n(Applause) \n\nThe company then adjourned to luncheon in an adjoining room, and a number of toasts were afterwards drunk, \n\nHis Excellency the GOVERNOR,\" in proposing \"The Queen,\" said-Gentlemen, as you all appear to have done full justice to the ample fare placed before us by our kind Chinese hosts and I am sure you will all agree with me there could not have been a better luncheon served on any table in any part of the world-- (applause)-I say after such a luncheon it is time we should proceed to the less substantial but perhaps more intellectual part of the proceedings. When I was asked by the old scholars to preside on this occasion I gladly consented to their request, partly out of respect to them and partly because I wished to show my sympathy with the graceful and gratifying mark of honour which they are paying to-day to my distinguished friend opposite, Dr. Stewart. (Loud applause). Of course it is my first duty as chairman to propose that toast which is the first toast in every assembly of British subjects", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-215 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1884 [1-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 325206, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-215 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1884 [1-4]", "page_number": 466, "title": "CO129-215 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1884 [1-4]", "content_text": "Mr Meade\n\nNo cadets will be wanted this year either for Hongling or Cayton.

The usual plan, I believe, is to read over something to them a day or two before and then get them to write it out. Mr. Hambling gave them the subject of interest at that time, the Regatta. It seems they knew they were to be asked to write a composition on this, and they were diligent readers of the newspapers. The consequence was we had pretty good repetitions of the newspapers, and perhaps that was the origin of Mr. Jennings' colonial phraseology.\" At the same time, I don't see that any different method could be pursued. A boy has few thoughts at that age and has a difficulty of expression. If he is to be given a lesson of that kind, he must have something read to him, and then the day after, he reproduces it as best he can. You have had the result, and it is encouraging, even if it is only repetition of newspapers, that they have good memories, though perhaps it would have been better if they had had shorter memories as regards the \"colonial phraseology.\"\n\nReturning to Dr. Eitel's report, he put down 300 marks as the highest number a boy could obtain. He reports 262 as the highest actually attained, which is not far from the limit, and the lowest 150, half the marks that might have been got. On the whole, it seemed to me Dr. Eitel's report was satisfactory as showing good honest work had been done.\n\nWell then, to go on to Mr. Coughtrie's report. It would not be right that we should just stick to dry work and add up figures and write down hard names after learning them. We had enough of that in my boyhood, but now there is a little idea of beauty introduced into school work, and you see hung round the room the result—the best result, for it is no use showing you the worst, but having boys who can do this work, it shows a good deal of talent that may be drawn out.\n\nMr. Coughtrie examined the drawings and picked out the best and put them in the order in which he thought they ought to stand. He says:\n\n## Report on Drawings\n\n| Category | Comment |\n| --- | --- |\n| Copies of dog's heads | The first award was a very creditable production indeed. |\n| Freehand drawings or ornament | The first and second awards were creditable. |\n| Flower subject | Did not produce equally good results, probably owing to the poverty of the example. |\n| Map drawing | Fully equal to that of past years; the subject was India, with its hard and unfamiliar names of places. |\n| Handwriting | The best examples were unusually good, particularly those in \"large hand.\" |\n\nThe drawings submitted to me for examination, though fewer in number than last year, were of greater merit. The first award in the copies of dog's heads was a very creditable production indeed, as were also the first and second awards in the freehand drawings or ornament. The flower subject did not produce equally good results, but this was probably owing to the poverty of the example, which was one that could not possibly create any enthusiasm for the subject placed before the scholars to copy.\n\nIn looking over the drawings made by some of the boys out of school, I found sketches by two of them of casual merit, and I learn with pleasure that an extra prize will be adjudged for them. The incentive to good drawing created by the choice of pleasing or congenial subjects is, I think, sufficiently manifest.\n\nThis closes my statement of what we have done and the way we are doing it. We are glad to have your presence here today to encourage us. From what I have seen, I can say that good conscientious work is being done from day to day, and I think it is evident from the assembly I see before me that the public of Hongkong appreciate our efforts to provide education for the youth of the colony. I think we may still appeal with confidence for your help. (Applause).\n\n## Speech by His Excellency General Sargent\n\nHis Excellency-General Sargent, ladies, and gentlemen, it was with very great pleasure that I accepted the invitation of our revered Bishop to be present here on this interesting occasion. I have always held it to be one of the first duties of a Governor to promote by every means in his power the sacred cause of education and to meet all classes of the community over whom he presides on the common ground of art, science, and literature. (Cheers).\n\nI grieve that I am not accompanied today, as last year, by my wife and family, whose departure, in consequence of the dangerous illness of Lady Bowen, has cast a gloom on my life here, for I was never before separated from my family.\n\nWith reference to the object of our meeting, I would observe that on the similar occasion last year, I made a long speech, but I have no intention of inflicting an oration on you this year. Moreover, the very full and satisfactory statement as to the present position and progress of this school made by the Bishop, to whom we all listened with much pleasure and interest, has left me little to say.\n\nThere can be no doubt, as the Bishop remarked, but that this institution supplies a want felt in this community. There are many families here who desire to give their sons a sound English education and yet are not in a position to send them to England. Moreover, during my visits to China and Japan, I have found former pupils of this institution occupying responsible positions in those countries. For instance, one of the principal secretaries of the great Viceroy Li Hung-chang—one of the most powerful and influential men in China—was a former pupil of St. Paul's College.\n\nAll will agree that it is a most legitimate means of extending British influence throughout this quarter of the globe to provide means of education in this British colony for those who will afterwards take a prominent position in the neighbouring countries, and especially in the great empire of China. Such men cannot fail to remember what they owe to British education.\n\nTo my young friends, the pupils of this institution, I would say: Work hard and prepare yourselves to take advantage of that good fortune, that chance of success, which falls to almost every man at least once in the course of his life. (Applause). People talk of good luck and good fortune, and the good luck of one man and the bad luck of another, but all men of great experience in life will agree that good fortune attends only those who have prepared themselves to take advantage of it.\n\nOur own Shakespeare has said in famous verses:\n\n\"There is a tide in the affairs of men,\nWhich, taken at the flood, leads on to Fortune.\nOmitted, all the voyage of our lives\nIs lost in shallows and in miseries.\"\n\nWhat I would exhort you to do, my young friends, is to prepare yourselves that you may be able to take that tide at the flood which leads on to fortune. (Applause).\n\nI would also remind those of you more advanced in your studies of the lines of the great Roman poet and Satirist, Juvenal, in which he says:\n\n\"Nullam nomen habent si sit Prudentia; nos te\nNos facimus, Fortuna, Deam, coeloque locamus.\"\n\nThat is (I translate, of course, only for the benefit of the ladies) \"Oh Fortune, thou hast no divinity if we have prudence; it is we who make thee a goddess and instal thee in Heaven.\"\n\nAfter these few observations, I will now proceed to distribute the prizes. (Applause).\n\nHis Excellency then presented the prizes to the boys, the Bishop stating the subject for which each prize was given and making a few remarks as to the position and progress in the school of the recipient.\n\nIn the course of his remarks, he said: I think last year all the boys got something, and some went home saying they had got a prize, and it was very doubtful what it was for (a laugh), and it was found it was not a prize at all but simply a present. That was in our younger days. We are getting older now and nearer manhood, so no prize is given today except for work done, that is, either for actual merit or for considerable work and promise of merit to come. There is the motto on the card at the beginning of each book by which we try to carry out the Governor's advice: \"Heaven helps those who help themselves.\" Those who work are sure to get rewarded somehow.\n\nPage 253", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-218 - Administrator Marsh Governor Sir Bowen & Others - 1884 [11-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 326895, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-218 - Administrator Marsh Governor Sir Bowen & Others - 1884 [11-12]", "page_number": 359, "title": "CO129-218 - Administrator Marsh Governor Sir Bowen & Others - 1884 [11-12]", "content_text": "## TREASURY CHAMBERS\n17 June 19\n\n**REGD 10 JUN 356**\n\nSir,\n\nI am directed by the Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury to transmit, herewith, for the information of the Secretary of State, a copy of a Report which My Lords have received from the Postmaster-General dated the 16th inst.; with reference to Mr. Braniston's letter of the 9th instant, submitting an application from the Eastern Extension Telegraph Company to be allowed to land at Hong Kong one end of a submarine Cable to be laid between that Colony and Macao.\n\nI have the honour to be,\nSir,\nYour obedient Servant,\nFrank Nowell\n\n### Previous Correspondence\n1.

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

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.

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", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-232 - Acting Governor Marsh Acting Governor Cameron - 1887 [4-5].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 334241, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-233 - Acting Governor Cameron - 1887 [6-8]", "page_number": 63, "title": "CO129-233 - Acting Governor Cameron - 1887 [6-8]", "content_text": "59\n\nmonth's\n\nof 1867 made up the 3⁄2 mon the applied for.\n\n6.\n\nAs the Officer, immediately concured (although the decision materially affected the whole servies)\n\nafficti respectfully\n\nI have to memorialire that leave, certificate may be altered from full pay and I mon this thee and half month half have to half pay leave and ou full pay pay 4-2-2 may one leave, and that the Crown Aguts instinded ta pay accordingly\n\nI have the honour to\n\nColonial Succtary's Office,\n\n2010\n\n28th May, 1887\n\nAppendix A.\n\nC 6821.\n\nShe the 11th instant for half\n\nIn reply to your application of three and a half months' vacation leave, I am directed by the Officer Administering the Government to inform you that His Excellency is of opinion that he has no authority to grant you more than two months' vacation leave; but that, if you are entitled to more, application may be made to the Secretary of State for the Colonies, and this Government will be willing to recommend you for the half pay leave to which you are entitled.\n\nHis Excellency approves of the appointment of Major Dempster Ad Deane, Esqr, Capt.

If you believe the evidence of Chan Ayut you have a right to call upon the prisoners for their defence, but you have no right to adjourn this case from week to week till the other case is finished. These defendants have nothing to do with that case. These three men before your Worship are on trial for their lives, and their case ought to be conducted in a legal, formal, and proper manner; and I submit, with all respect to your Worship, that the case is not being conducted in such a manner when it is being adjourned from week to week. If your Worship believes the evidence of Chun Ayut, if your Worship believes that Dr. Hartigan, Mr. Chun Kai Ming and Ho Ki have all gone into the box and told deliberate falsehoods, the prisoners will make their defence, but if not I submit there is no case against them. Your Worship has been a long time in this colony, and you know how difficult it is for a man to defend himself against officials who are in pay of the Chinese Government, because it is almost impossible to get witnesses to come forward and give evidence when they know that their relations are in the power of the Chinese Government, and the witnesses themselves may be spirited away before they can go down to the Supreme Court. I can assure your Worship that numbers of people have spoken to me in the street, knowing that this was a trumped-up charge, but who are unwilling to come into this court and give evidence, because they know that their relatives would pay the penalty with their lives. If you believe the evidence of Chun Ayat then the case ought to be proceeded with at once and the prisoners allowed to make their defence. The defence which I intend to make will be the proving of an alibi, and if this case is again adjourned fresh charges may be brought by the Chinese Government which it will be impossible for me to disprove, when the Government know exactly where the defendants were at such and such a date.\n\nHis Worship—I cannot agree in any way, with the statement made by Mr. Dennys with regard to the promises I have made during the hearing of the case. The action I have taken throughout these proceedings I have made public, and if I pass over what Mr. Dennys has said with regard to the promises I have made, it is not that I agree with him, but because I do not consider them worthy of further notice. I have here before me in writing the course that was pursued:—“Mr. Dennys applied to have Li Loi arrested on charge of subornation of perjury and Leung Ayow for perjury. Mr. Caldwell applied for time to bring rebutting evidence. The Magistrate declined to take any action in the matter but granted time to allow the solicitors for the defence to take what action they thought fit. The case to be remanded till the following day. In the interval action taken by a private individual, and Li Loi and Leung Ayow charged with subornation of perjury and perjury. Mr. Dennys asks for release of defendants. The Magistrate declines to take any action until the case against Leung Ayow is concluded and proposes to adjourn the case from week to week. Case came on again. Mr. Quincey states that perjury case is still proceeding. The case again remanded. Mr. Dennys on behalf of second and third defendants, and Mr. Holmes, on behalf of first, ask for their discharge. The application refused. Mr. Dennys, and Mr. Holmes ask for bail. Caldwell objects. Bail refused. The Magistrate, in reference to the application of Mr. Francis to be allowed to bring further evidence, in the event of Leung Ayow being convicted of perjury, gives formal notice that should such event occur, he will consider that a prima facie case has been made out.” I am now informed that the €430 is no prima facie case. I am now committed for trial. I cannot believe that the solicitors for the defence think that the other case is yet concluded.\n\nA criminal case is not concluded until the prisoner is either found guilty or acquitted. I shall therefore wait until the case is concluded and remand this one until Monday, April 4th, at 10 o'clock.\n\nPage 363\n\nPage 363\n\nPage 363\n\nThe Daily Press.\n\n29th April.\n\nTHE RENDITION CASE.\n\nChing Sam and Tsang Chun, whose rendition is asked for by the Chinese Government on a charge of burglary and murder, were brought up on remand.\n\nMr. Caldwell appeared for the prosecution. Mr. Dennys for the second prisoner, and Mr. Holmes for the first.\n\nMr. Caldwell stated that Mr. Francis, Q.C., who had appeared for the prosecution on the last occasion, had been called away to Shanghai.\n\nIt was decided to proceed in Mr. Francis's absence.\n\nInspector Quincey gave evidence as to the death of Shap, a prisoner in the same case, who committed suicide in the gaol on Wednesday night.\n\nMr. Dennys then addressed the court on the points of law raised by Mr. Francis on the last occasion and afterwards proceeded to analyse the evidence for the prosecution, his address occupying two hours and a half. With reference to the contention of the prosecution that the court had merely to satisfy itself that a prima facie case was made out and could not enter into evidence for the defence he argued that the Magistrate was bound to satisfy himself absolutely that the prisoners were guilty before committing them to gaol pending the Governor's orders, the Governor being in this matter merely an executive officer and bound to deliver the prisoners up if the Magistrate found them guilty; that the Magistrate was bound to hear and take into consideration the defence if there was any case to answer; but that in the present case the prosecution had utterly broken down and that the prisoners were therefore entitled to their discharge. With regard to the first point he said he thought it was utterly impossible to find any precedent outside Hongkong that would exactly guide his Worship, but several cases were heard here last year in which a man named Chung Chee was claimed by the Chinese authorities for various offences. The prosecution in the first case was conducted by Mr. Ewens, and the prisoner was defended by Mr. Wotton. Evidence was there gone into on behalf of the prisoner in the case in which Mr. Ewens prosecuted, and the prisoner was discharged, or at any rate he was not given up on the charge investigated by the Magistrate. Mr. Caldwell appeared for the prosecution in the other cases brought against the same prisoner, and those cases he believed were proved to the satisfaction of the Magistrate. In those cases the Magistrate allowed the witnesses for the prosecution to be cross-examined, and witnesses to be called on behalf of the prisoner. In this case it had been contended that the Magistrate could not accept on behalf of the prisoner any evidence whatever, and a very eminent authority on extradition, Clark, was quoted. Nothing could be stronger than the law as laid down by Mr. Clark, and he (Mr. Dennys) would quite agree with all that had been said by the learned counsel (Mr. Francis) with regard to that if this case came under the extradition law as applied in England under the act of 1870 and the extension of that Act in 1873. But section 17 of the Act said the Act might be applied with certain modifications by Order in Council to any British possession. That had not been done with regard to Hongkong, and the law by which the court was governed was contained in Ordinance 2 of 1850 and the explanatory Ordinance 2 of 1871. Before going into those Ordinances he would ask his Worship's attention to the Treaty referred to in the second Ordinance. By the Treaty of Tientsin, section 21, two different things were provided for, one referring to criminal subjects of China who take refuge in Hongkong, and the other to Chinese offenders who take refuge on board British ships at the open ports of China.\n\nPage 364\n\nPage 364\n\nPage 364", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-233 - Acting Governor Cameron - 1887 [6-8].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 334417, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-233 - Acting Governor Cameron - 1887 [6-8]", "page_number": 239, "title": "CO129-233 - Acting Governor Cameron - 1887 [6-8]", "content_text": "William the Fourth entitled \"An act to repeat an act \n\nthe present sesside of Parliament cititted can act for effectual abolition of auth, and affirmation tration and made in various departments and to outstituté Declaration in lien there of and for \n\nthe \n\nthe state \n\nmore entire exppression of voluntary bood exter Judicial saths and affiduirts and to make other provising for the abolitie \n\nof smecessary \n\ncath \n\nDeclan by the sand Lig hat ot \n\nVictorin Strughang the // dag den \n\nbrande 1887 Daving final been \n\ndeby interacted in the chiman \n\nlanguage by to Frok duteprete \n\nAuf Dennys shop of \n\nOlicitor's Odigray; \n\nBefore me \n\n傑 \n\nбил \n\nSub Enclosure & to Enclosure 1. \n\nI Neg \n\nIn the Police Court of Hongkong \n\nNot \n\nMeg a \n\nw Yuk of Mongkend moulica \n\n224 \n\nIn the matter of Regina of Luning a you \n\nK of Victoria in the Soland of mauried ivonian do hereby solemnly \n\nand sincerely declare and \n\ncare \n\n& say as followe \n\nI reside at X 90 Jank Fare Victoria \n\na man named Chan \n\naforesaid and and the wife of a m \n\nBik Cheung \n\nThe said Chaw Zits Cheng is at present \n\nactained in Victoria Cacol where he is under \n\nAlmand on a \n\nand murder \n\n-shange of hung lory and in Chinese Jerritory. \n\nWhile the charge against the said Chan Sik Cheung was preceding before H & Wodehouse Esque one of the magistrates of this colony \n\na ruan named \n\nHo Hi gave evidence on behalf of the three prisoners \n\nwhom evidences of whous \n\nthe said Than Dix Cheung \n\nThe paid Hoki \n\ngave material. \n\nwas out.. \n\nat evidence for the defence of the paid prisoners and upon thee a tave ramed Leunig a You being charged with perjury before & MacKean & sore another of the steagistrates of this Colony the saw Hoki was examined for the prosecution the prisoner bunga you` \n\nP \n\nand \n\ngave \n\nwat \n\nmaterials evidentes aguire \n\nand \n\nIn the said changer of Burglary.

Detachments attended from the Regiment, the Engineers, the Royal Artillery, from the Navy, the Volunteers, the Police, and a small body of men from the Taitam Works.

The paukahs also somewhat deadened the voices and had the same effect, though in a somewhat less degree, on the organ. About half-past ten o'clock the choir, headed by the clergy, marched in procession down the chancel and have to the central porch to await the arrival of His Excellency and the members of the Legislative Council. On their arrival His Excellency, with his aides-de-camp, preceded by the verger and followed by the members of the Council and the clergy and choir, proceeded to the seats reserved for them in the chancel, \"God save the Queen\" being sung as the processional hymn, the congregation joining in it. A special version of the national anthem had been prepared for the occasion, of which the first and last verses were the same as the original. The second verse, however, had been eliminated and the following introduced in its place:-\n\nGod, hear our nation's prayer, Safe in Thy loving care, Guard Thou our Queen.\n\nRuler of earth and sea, Through all eternity, In our blest Jubilee, Keep Thou our Queen.\n\nThe service was then proceeded with, the ordinary accession service being supplemented by the following prayer:\n\nO Lord our God, who upholdest and governest all things in heaven and earth: receive our hearty thanksgivings for thy goodness to our country and Empire in preserving our Sovereign Lady Queen Victoria on the throne of her Ancestors for the space of fifty years. We thank thee for keeping her in health, protecting her in danger, comforting her in sorrow, and making her long reign one of prosperity, peace and progress... Thine, O Lord, is the greatness and the power, and glory and the victory and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and the earth is thine: thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and thou art exalted as head above all. Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou rulest over all, and in thy hand is power and might, and in thy hand it is to make great and to give strength to all. Now, therefore, our God, we praise thee and praise thy glorious name for all the goodness thou hast shewn to our beloved Queen these fifty years. And with these our thanksgivings we join our humble prayers, that thou wilt still watch over her during the remainder of her days on earth, and so together with her bless Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, the Princess of Wales, and all their Family, that they all, ever trusting in thy goodness, protected by thy power, and crowned with thy gracious and endless favour, may continue before thee in health, peace, joy and honour, live long and happy lives on earth, and after death obtain everlasting life and glory in the kingdom of heaven, by the merits and mediation of Christ Jesus our Saviour, who with the Father and the Holy Spirit liveth and reigneth ever one God, world without end. Amen.\n\nThe clergy present were Right Rev. Bishop Burdon, and the Revs. F. Gace, O. Chesnut, J. B. Ost, A. G. Goldsmith, Fong Yat Sun (St. Stephen's Mission Church), and Coates (of the Cordelia), most of whom assisted in the service. At the conclusion of the service, previous to the benediction, the following hymn was sung:\n\nO God, our fathers' God and ours, Before Thy throne we bow the knee: Pour down Thy mercy's richest showers Upon our Sovereign's jubilee.\n\nWe bless Thee for her blessed past, For holy thoughts of things that were; For love that must for ever last, And all Thy love to us in her;\n\nFor years of sunshine, calm and bright, And storm o'erclouded always rainbow-spann'd; For her sweet home, which sheds its light On homes of all our fatherland.\n\nAnd with our praises one strong prayer From morn to night, from night to morn, Breathes on the universal air. And to the Throne of thrones is borne, Queen, God bless thee and defend, God make His face to shine on thee; The God of ours, world without end. Till earth keep heaven's great Jubilee.\n\nAmen.\n\nAt noon a Royal salute of fifty guns was fired from the Victor Emanuel followed by a similar salute from the shore battery.\n\n243", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-233 - Acting Governor Cameron - 1887 [6-8].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 334434, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-233 - Acting Governor Cameron - 1887 [6-8]", "page_number": 256, "title": "CO129-233 - Acting Governor Cameron - 1887 [6-8]", "content_text": "prayers in the sacred language, which took about an hour and a half. Mr. Mody, the chairman then thanked the community for having assembled in such a large number to do honour to the occasion. He recounted the innumerable benefits the Parsees had derived under the just and benign British rule. He said that it was a most fortunate thing for the Parsees to have come under the sway of such an enlightened, liberal, and paternal government, and hoped that the British rule might continue for ever. He next spoke in the most eulogistic terms of the eminent personal character and virtues of Her Most Gracious Majesty, the Queen Empress. He referred to the spontaneous expression of gratitude loyalty, and devotion to the throne from millions of her subjects as an infallible proof of the deep impression made in the hearts of the people by her noble character, her kindness of heart, and her sympathetic solicitude for their welfare. He exhorted the audience to offer fervent prayers to the Great Author of Creation to guard and protect our Most Gracious Sovereign, to prolong her life and to shower upon her all His choicest blessings to the end of her days. All present then rose up and recited from printed copies previously handed to them a short and appropriate prayer in the Gujarati language prepared for the occasion, following the lead of the Chairman, who went through it in a very impressive manner. The English version of the prayer is as follows:-\n\nO Holy Ahuramazda, we Thy humble servants of the Mazdaznan faith with heartfelt devotion praise Thy divine goodness for the many and signal blessings which Thou hast conferred upon the various people of the British Empire through the honoured instrumentality of our gracious Sovereign the Queen Victoria. We, Thy humble Zoroastrian worshippers,\n\nO holy Creator, thank Thee for having prolonged her reign to the term of Fifty years, and, with uplifted hand, pray unto Thee, O Merciful Mazda, to bestow upon our illustrious Sovereign many years of a happy reign, replete with glory, and to continue her reign, Holy God, with all honour. We implore Thee, O Great Almighty, to bestow on our beloved ruler blessings of fruitful peace and plenty in her vast dominions and We supplicate Thee, O Good God, with all our hearts to crown the fulness of her days with the fulness of divine blessings, grace, and love. Listen, we pray Thee, to this humble invocation of Thy Servants of the Zoroastrian faith in Hongkong, and grant us our wishes. AMEN.\n\nThe Chairman then announced that in order to commemorate the auspicious occasion of the Jubilee by some permanent memorial in honour of Her Most Gracious Majesty and to mark also their loyalty to the just and humane British Raj, it was proposed at his suggestion, which was cordially endorsed by his colleagues and which found many supporters among the community, to establish a special fund to be styled the \"Victoria Jubilee Parsee Charity Fund\". The object of this charity will be to give help and succour to the destitute, disabled, sick, infirm, and distressed of all nationalities, without distinction as to race or creed, and to give donations or subscriptions having that object in view; the operation of the charity to extend only to cases arising in Hongkong, Canton, and Macao. Mr. Mody, at the close of his address, earnestly appealed to the gentlemen around him to testify their loyalty by subscribing liberally to the fund and at the same time to verify and uphold their reputation for generosity and benevolence, which attributes had been inherited by them from their venerable ancestors in ancient Persia. The appeal was enthusiastically responded to and about $2,500 were subscribed to the fund on the spot and a further good sum is likely to be collected.\n\nAfter a vote of thanks to the Chairman and other Trustees, which was carried by acclamation, the meeting separated.\n\n251", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-233 - Acting Governor Cameron - 1887 [6-8].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 334565, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-233 - Acting Governor Cameron - 1887 [6-8]", "page_number": 387, "title": "CO129-233 - Acting Governor Cameron - 1887 [6-8]", "content_text": "380\n\nCALENDAR OF PROBATES and ADMINISTRATIONS granted by the Supreme Court of Hongkong, during the year 1886,\n\nDate\nName of Testator or Intestate\nPlace and Time of Death\nGrant\nValue of the Effects\nName and Description of the Executor or Administrator\n\n1886\n\n$\n\nJan. 11\nAlexander Paterson\nEngland, 10th Mar., 1885\nProbate\n\nThomas Neave\n\n11\nNg Sa Yuen Sing Chun alias Yuen Cheong alias Yuen King Hung\nSingapore, 4th Mar., 1882\nAdm. with Will annexed\n\nHenry Arthur Herbert, Attorney of Frederick Paterson, Peter Rennie, and James Macalister\n\n11\nLeung Ming Yow alias Leung Fau Kan\n\n11\nLui Kum Chaen\n\nThomas Henderson Whitehead, Attorney of Grace Neave\n\nJune 15\nHenry O'Neill\nAt Sea, in the Bay of Bengal, 28th Jan., 1886\n\n900.00\n\n17\nChan Kom\n\n19\nHenry Brerall\nCanton, 8th Oct., 1885\nProbate\n7,000.00\nJohn Yardly Vernon, the executor\n\n19\nCheang Chew Inc\nH'kong, 13th Nov., 1885\n\nVernon Vernon, the executor.

The Pacific Mail Company's office was tastefully decorated with rows of lanterns, with the American flag and the Union Jack floating at each end, and small flags of the two nations crossed in the centre. Crossing over the street and proceeding eastwards, passing the Victoria Hotel, already described, we come to Messrs. Turner and Co.'s hong, where there was a pretty arrangement of Chinese lanterns. The China Fire Insurance Company had banners hanging from each window, and \"God bless our Queen\" worked in small oil lamps in front of the verandah. Acbee's furniture store had small coloured oil lamps along the balustrading of the verandah, and strings of Japanese lanterns. Messrs. Framjee Hormusjee & Co. had large clusters of coloured lamps hanging in each of the verandah arches, five on each floor, with stars of small coloured oil lamps on the pillars of the upper floor with spear heads of the same description of lamps on the end pillars, the whole forming a very beautiful display. Rose and Co. had a row of lanterns in front and Messrs. Wotton and Deacon a double row. Messrs. Lane, Crawford and Co.'s premises were tastefully decorated with two \"V. Rs.\" worked in flowers on the top of the porch, lanterns hanging in the porchway underneath, and clusters of lamps on the pediments.\n\nWestward of Pottinger-street one of the most striking illuminations was that of the Stag Hotel, which had a gilt framed oil painting of Her Majesty, with lamps round the arches of the verandahs of all four storeys, and a good display of lanterns on the side of the house. The Man On Insurance Co. also had an effective display, a large number of lanterns being used, many of them of unusual patterns. The Ko Shing Theatre had a \"V. R.\" in glass transparency over the door and the year \"1887.\" Lai Hing and Co. had a gaudy illumination, \"1887\" in the middle with the \"V\" on one side and \"R\" on the other. Other houses illuminated were The Land We Live In tavern, the Rose, Shamrock, and Thistle, the London Hotel, W. Peterson's boarding house, the German Tavern, and the Grand Hotel. The Fire Brigade Station had on the front face of the tower a design in small oil lamps - \"1837-1887\" in the middle, with the \"V\" and \"R\" on the right and left respectively. The Queen's-road side of the building had coloured lanterns. On Chinese establishments which had lit up we read the names of Ses Woo, tailor, Wang Hing, jeweller, Wing Hing, dealer in porcelain, Yu Chong, also dealer in porcelain, Tang Cheong, tailor, Kum Kee, Chinese shipping agent, E. Sing, printer, Fuk On, \"Agent in Sailors and Fireman,\" Yip Sang, dealer in curios, Woo Choong, compradore, Hung Shing, curio dealer, King Wo Shing, Him Wo, Ah Nam, tailor, Yee On, tailor, Yen Sing, curio dealer, Nam Hing Loong, compradore, Achan, photographer, Nam Shing, tailor, Yong Heng, dealer in Chinese goods, Aping, tailor, Ahing, tailor, Song Yuen, photographer, Sun Shing, curio dealer, whose show was considerably above the average; Wah Loong, dealer in Chinese goods, who also made a good show; Fung Hing, tailor, Teen Seng, printer, Seng Yuen, portrait painter, and Sam Hing Street, who had quite a brilliant display. Our enumeration, however, gives the names of only a small fraction of those who took part in the illumination and includes none of the large native hongs who have not their name in English on their signboard. The Chinese participation in the illumination as regards shops and houses, was very general, and in almost every street the Kai fong had done something in the way of erecting arches or sheds for the numerous entertainments and exhibitions of marionettes.\n\nGoing up Ice House Street, we noticed a square of white lanterns at the top of the Ice House, and at Afong's studio lanterns in clusters. Both Messrs. Gibb, Livingston and Co.'s and Messrs. Carlowitz and Co.'s hongs were brilliantly illuminated with rows of lanterns, and looking down Duddell-street steps the illuminations of the same houses on their other side were seen, as were the lanterns which lighted up the front of Messrs. Reiss & Co.'s premises. A fine gas illumination at Messrs. Noronha and Co's, in Zetland street, also showed up well from this neighbourhood. The design was \"Q. V., star, R. I.\" with the figures \"50\" beneath. The Masonic Hall had the square and compasses on its northern face, and the Masonic Club a similar design in red and white framed in blue lamps on the north, and on the south side the monogram V. R. in red lanterns above the entrance. Going along Albert-road the Public Offices were found in darkness, but the top of St. John's Cathedral tower was illuminated with blue lanterns and formed a conspicuous object from many points of view. St. John's Place was almost covered with lanterns, chiefly white and red, which had a most effective appearance standing out from the surrounding darkness from the few points from which they were visible.\n\nGovernment House had on its northern face the motto \"Domine salvam fac Reginam,\" illuminated by gas in globes in 4ft. letters; a 6ft. crown, two 7ft. stars, \"V. R.,\" two masonic stars, a half star of 10ft. diameter in the centre of the top cornice, two half-stars at the corners of the cornice, and a line of jets up the sides and along the top cornice; the effect of all this light artistically arranged was very fine. The other side of Government House was not illuminated, but the roadway, with numerous lanterns dotted about in the trees and on the bank of the Public Gardens and the small oil lamps running along the walls, was like a picture in fairy land. The entrance to Government House was decorated for day effect with imposing shields and trophies of flags. The Royal Artillery Mess in College Gardens was well lit up with lanterns and had a device springing from the roof.\n\nIn Stanley-street Messrs. Rozario and Co. had a gas illumination showing \"R. & Co.\" and the Oriental Dispensary, and Messrs. Dunn, Melbye & Co.'s and Mr. Brandt's establishments were illuminated with lanterns. In D'Aguilar-street Messrs. Gilman and Co. had a transparency over the door with the name of the firm and a large mass of lanterns. Messrs. Grossman and Co.'s hong was also lit up with lanterns, and amongst the occupants of Club Chambers on the opposite side of the street lanterns were hung out in profusion by Messrs. Justus Lembke & Co., Mr. Naudin, the Telephone Exchange, and the Punjom Mining Co. Messrs. Guedes and Co., at the corner of Wellington-street, had red and white lanterns on the top floor. Messrs. D. D. Oflia and Co. had lanterns arranged in the arches of the verandah and in lines below, and Mrs. Heymans, dressmaker, hung out the red ensign grouped with two French flags in the centre, and lanterns along the verandah. A large proportion of the Chinese in this street had also illuminated, amongst them Kwong Shing, contractor, Bing Shing, bootmaker, Chan Hang, printer, Yee Hing, contractor, Ling Atin, contractor, Wah Suo, picture frame maker, Hung Qua, portrait painter, who showed a specimen of his skill in a portrait of the Queen; Pow Chin, contractor, Sang Cheong, and Chee Sing, printer.\n\nIn Lower Wyndham Street the Club Germania was very tastefully illuminated with Japanese lanterns. The entrance was lined out in red and white lanterns, with one bearing the Union Jack in the centre and at the doorway the German and British flags were draped. Above was the red ensign with the German flag on each side. The remainder of the building was covered with white lanterns. The opposite buildings, occupied by Messrs. Raedecker & Co. and the China Mail, showed strings of coloured lanterns on the verandah of the upper storey, and many of the houses further up the hill were similarly decorated, one Chinese house occupied by Europeans, however, having flags and lamps stretching far across the road. The parapet of the tower of St. Paul's College was fringed with coloured lanterns, and from the summit rose a lofty cross formed by white Japanese lanterns, which from its commanding altitude was very conspicuous. Darkness reigned at the corner of D'Aguilar-street, but a very showy and well-designed arch was erected to form the entrance to Glenealy.\n\nThis was of imperial yellow picked out with leaf decorations and with green pediments. Over the archway were the words in scarlet on a blue ground \"Salve Imperatricem,\" and the face of the structure was ornamented with gilt stars and the arms of the three kingdoms on shields. Numerous coloured lanterns were suspended, and when illuminated it proved exceedingly effective. The road up Glenealy was lined throughout with various coloured lanterns, and the rockery in the centre half way up was covered with a pyramidal structure of lanterns. Mr. Bottomley's house and grounds at the foot of Glenealy were most tastefully lit up with lanterns and little glass lamps; the latter glittering among the trees had a very charming effect. Upper Wyndham Street and Hollywood Road were partially illuminated, but without any general design. Messrs. B. Mijran & Co., S. J. David & Co., Messrs. Kaw Hong Take & Co., and Messrs. Mirza Ebrahim & Co. were among the most brilliant, and further on several Parsee firms, Messrs. B. N. Mehta & Co., Tata & Co., Mehta & Co., and others, had quite a large display of lanterns in various designs.\n\n535\n\n9.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-234 - Acting Governor Cameron Governor Des Voeus - 1887 [9-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 335501, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-235 - Public Offices - 1887", "page_number": 117, "title": "CO129-235 - Public Offices - 1887", "content_text": "The third of \n\nnot been \n\n·5·0 \n\nThe cost, Las \n\nentertained, \n\nNak for your inf?\" \n\nga \n\nI enclose a copy of \n\nthe Board of \n\nletter from \n\nTrade to whom a copy Your deefalch and the \n\nGraft in this aply. \n\nWas communicated \n\nN.I.H \n\nof \n\n(26,859a) 6000 9---87 \n\nce or Individual, \n\nTrade \n\nDate. \n\n1887 \n\n1 Die \n\nprevious Paper. \n\nNor \n\n20873. \n\nCopy for-insta 229-7 dail \n\nxt pubsequent Paper. \n\n790% of \n\nHong Kong No 24367 \n\nBill to \n\nWingfield. \n\n(Subject.) \n\nDOMESTIC. \n\nC.

He was recommended for promotion in the words quoted, when serving with his Regiment during the siege, but he did not receive that honour until the fall of Sebastopol, when he was again wounded, as mentioned in Despatches; and in the return called for of officers of the 95th Regiment \"who served with zeal and distinction during the siege,\" General Sargent is shown as the senior of the three Captains named. Colonel Hume was then in command of the Regiment, and in his temporary absence, when it was commanded by Colonel Heyland, an order came for the submission of two names to receive the first two Crosses of the Legion of Honour to be given to the Regiment, and the names sent in were those of Captain Sargent and Private Abbott.\n\nLike the gentlemen who prepared and signed the Address, the Editor of the wharf about a quarter past three, and later his Excellency the Governor, attended by his Aide-de-camp, appeared on the scene. General Sargent, accompanied by Mrs. Sargent and the Misses Sargent, arrived in chairs some time afterwards. On the General's stepping out of his conveyance, the guard of honour presented arms, the Band striking up at the same time, after which three cheers and one, or rather three cheers more, were given for the gallant veteran. After bidding his military and other friends adieu, General Sargent, accompanied by Governor Bowen, General Cameron, and a number of other officers, proceeded to the launch, upon stepping on board of which the shore battery fired a salute. The Band was then marched down to the wharf and formed up at the landing place, and as the launch moved off from the pier, they struck up \"Auld Lang Syne,\" vigorous cheers being given at the same time for the departing veteran. The playing and the cheering continued until the launch had placed a long stretch of water between her and the wharf, the General during all this time standing up, with his face turned towards the pier and his right hand up to his head in military saluting fashion, while the Governor, General Cameron, and other officers remained on the wharf bareheaded, waving adieus to General Sargent. As the launch steamed past, salutes were fired from the Victor Emanuel and the U.S. flagship Trenton. A very large number of the leading and other residents of the various Nationalities in Hongkong had assembled on the mail steamer waiting for the General, the Volunteers being in force in full dress uniform. The upper deck, in fact, was crowded, and it was with difficulty one could push one's way through.\n\n(\"The Address, with list of names and the General's reply, here follows)\n\nHis war services, briefly summarized at the Horse Guards for submission to Her Majesty the Queen by His Royal Highness the Field-Marshal Commanding-in-Chief, in the words published in the Army Estimates for 1875-76, under the head of \"Rewards for Distinguished Services,\" were as follows:--\n\"Served: In the Danubian Campaign of 1854, and in the Crimea; present at the Battle of Alma (wounded and mentioned for determined bravery); repulse of the sortie on the 26th of October; the Battle of Inkerman, where he commanded his regiment and brought it out of action, using a rifle himself with remarkable effect, and was wounded at the fall of Sebastopol (mentioned in Despatches, the Brevet of Major, Medal with three clasps, 5th Class of the Medjidie and Turkish Medal, and Knight of the Legion of Honour).\n\nAlso in the campaign in China in 1860 with the 3rd Foot, including the action of Sinho, in which he commanded the advanced guard, and the taking of Tonghoo; in command of the advanced outposts towards the Taku Forts, and as Allied Commissioner (most favourably mentioned in Despatches, Medal with Clasp and Companion of the Bath).\"\n\nAt the Battle of Alma, the 95th Regiment had six officers killed (including \n* This occurred in a very critical position, where every rifle was of the greatest importance, especially when cut off as he was for a time by another Russian column that occupied the ground whence the 95th had been ordered to charge the enemy down the hill; and his shot-holed great coat and forage cap, (the dress worn by the 2nd Division,) showed how hard the enemy tried to take his life.\n\nPage 212", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-236 - Others - 1887.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 336279, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-236 - Others - 1887", "page_number": 364, "title": "CO129-236 - Others - 1887", "content_text": "## Enclosure 7\n\nand all costs of prosperity.\n\n(Richard)\n\n2.

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

In Estimates, including the Military Contribution, are now or shortly will be under discussion.\n\nThe O.A.G. may make such provisional appointments under Art. XIV of the Instructions. In fact, he might have appointed some one to Mr. Deane's place when Mr. Deane last went on leave under the Instructions. Such appointments should have been reported immediately to Mr. Sec. of State.\n\nAs we have not had any report, it is possible that no one has been appointed. However, we may perhaps leave it to the O.A.G. to take the necessary steps for filling the seats provisionally, if he finds it desirable. We need not telegraph to remind him.\n\nWe should write to Robinson asking for his recommendations as to permanent arrangements for both Councils.\n\n(On `4051/90`, the Constitution of the Leg. Co. was discussed. He is just back from leave. Command Rumsey's name was suggested as a possible successor to W. Deane as M.L.C.)\n\nThere are thereupon some anxious discussions; and bridge things I bring, but the unofficials do not treat them as a minority.

I refer to the remarks about Hawkers at the end of paragraph VI in the Inspector's address. In England there are \"grub shops\" in the vicinity of all schools for the sale of fruit, cakes, etc. In Hongkong these commodities are usually sold by street hawkers licensed by the Registrar General and controlled by the Police.\n\nThese hawkers place their stalls in the neighbourhood of every school in the Colony to secure custom before and after school hours and during Recess.\n\nI have seen both the Captain Superintendent of Police and the Registrar General on this subject. The former feels no objection to the continuance of this practice, which has been in vogue as regards this College for thirty years. The latter cannot guarantee the character of hawkers, which in itself precludes their admission into the College grounds.\n\nAs", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-260 - Governor Sir Robinson Acting Governor O-Brien - 1893 [9-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 353529, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-261 - Public Offices & Others - 1893", "page_number": 517, "title": "CO129-261 - Public Offices & Others - 1893", "content_text": "Exceeding me six thirtieth part of bin salary for adi has \n\nThe \"Thirtieth\" rate in the parler dotter come mai for mails with a raid to for the professional qualifications required of in a judge, and is Min analogous to the addition \n\n25-of made under de 25 21 two 3+ of 855; I before ho 34 fixed by this muisti has decided in \n\nMainly in new of hantly appears to me to be questionable has far A subject \n\nThe Jamars pantes by Jamaica + debut under sec. 23 f the laws, com the ponit is and is therefore me a doubtful Ours to be putanter bing with the opinion of \n\nPriy Comment and Within the meaning Mrs. 32 of Me taw.) rate, waste is mly such Jego tal fo might to sparate in reduction of a peunion delemad in Pring (ouncil, Suljed to the Affense of thee d.

The following notice of the sittings of the Board was also posted at the entrance to the buildings on Thursday, 10th January, Claim No. 3, the Hong Kong Fire Insurance Co., for $36,075; No. 17, Wong Ka Pat, for $5,000; and No. 30, Choong Asen, for $1,900. On Friday, 11th January, Claims 6 and 38, S. Musso and Cheung Shi, for $15,000; No. 8, Cheong Yan To and others, for $1,700; No. 12, Wong Mai, for $13,000, and No. 34, Ng Yuk, for $3,600. On Saturday, 12th January, Claim No. 18, Leang Tat Tin, for $4,285.50, and No. 28, the Spanish Procuration, for $5,000.\n\nThe case of Cheung San, being Claim No. 11, in respect of lots 570, 571, 572, and 422, was taken up. Mr. C. D. Wilkinson appeared for the plaintiff and called as experts Mr. R. K. Leigh and Mr. C. Palmer. The Government was represented as usual by the Hon. W. M. Goodman, Attorney-General, assisted by Mr. A. B. Johnson, Crown Solicitor, and the Hon. F. A. Cooper, Director of Public Works.\n\nThe claim was for $79,100, against which the Government had offered $28,797. The claim was, however, subsequently reduced to $56,000, and the Government's offer increased to $30,000. The presentation of the claim differed very little from that of others previously reported.\n\nThe next case submitted was that of Tang Kow Shee, originally for $55,453.57, but now altered to $55,514.80, including the 10 per cent. for compulsory sale. This property was represented by Mr. V. H. Deacon, who claimed that the valuation should be based on the assessor's last valuation, especially in this case, where there were no satisfactory rental returns to go by. This led to much discussion between the Court and counsel on both sides, but finally his Lordship informed the counsel for the claimant that he would, if he wished, sit there and hear him argue until midnight, but that his mind was definitely made up on the point of preferring the rentals as the fairer basis of determining the compensation value. He said, however, that he wished all the light possible on each case, and he would like to see what Mr. Deacon's results were on the assessment basis. The estimates were then carefully examined, and it was found that, as Mr. Deacon had said, there was only a difference of $1,300, whichever of the two ways the computation was made. His Lordship also remarked that this whole investigation was as much one of common sense as of law or valuation theories, and the Board were determined in each case to find out as nearly as possible the gross rental value and the condition of the property, and then make such allowances and deductions as should seem just to the Board, and that they did not care for all these fine systems of valuation, that were so full of intricacies as to produce confusion.\n\nDuring the inquiry into this case, it appeared that much of the improvements are now worth less, having been blown down or destroyed by fire or other agencies, since the closing up of Taipingshan, so that now there are in several cases not even basements left.\n\nThe Government valuation of the property was $25,344, but they were willing to offer $30,000. When this last offer was made, the Court asked the counsel for the claimant what his client would say to the Government offer, but Mr. Deacon said that unless his Lordship would adjourn the Court, he could not go and consult with her, whereupon his Lordship said that if Mr. Deacon would promise to urge the acceptance of the offer upon his client, he would adjourn the Court, but Mr. Deacon refused to commit himself, and the case proceeded.\n\nWhen the evidence was all in, the Court adjourned to Thursday next, the 10th inst., at 10:30.\n\n562\n\nC.

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

Now, I may say that in the tobacco trade, and many other businesses, there are numerous brands or marks which, for various reasons, are not capable of registration in England, but the proprietors are amply protected by user.\n\nIf the brands or marks belonging to British subjects not capable of registration here are incapable of protection in China, it leaves the door open for registration by Chinese subjects of the marks, and probable stoppage of the business in that country by a British subject in goods bearing those marks or brands, although they may have been sold in China for many years past by British subjects.\n\nI may say that subjects of many foreign countries may register in this country without the necessity of prior registration in their own countries.\n\nI trust your Lordship may see your way to make such representations as will effect the desired alteration in the Regulations.\n\nI have, &c. (Signed) JOSEPH HOOD.\n\n3\n\n[2156 ee-2]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-326 - Foreign Office - 1904.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 395249, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-326 - Foreign Office - 1904", "page_number": 586, "title": "CO129-326 - Foreign Office - 1904", "content_text": "2\n\nthere be no objection, the Board should take steps, as they may think fit, to bring the Regulations to the notice of the public.\n\nAdditional copies of the Regulations and the detailed Rules are forwarded for the convenience of the Board, and I am to say that applicants from whom his Lordship has received inquiries on this subject will be informed that the Regulations are in the possession of your Department.\n\nI am, &c.\n\n(Signed) F.

Confidential.)\n\nCanton, August 20, 1904. My Lord,\n\nI HAVE the honour to inclose, for your Lordship's information, a copy of a Confidential despatch which I addressed to-day to His Majesty's Minister at Peking, on the subject of the removal of the artificial obstructions in the Canton River. I also inclose a copy of a private letter sent to Sir Ernest Satow on the 18th July, which will help to explain the delay which has occurred.\n\nI understand from His Majesty's Minister that copies of my despatches Nos. 23 of the 6th April, No. 25 of the 11th April, No. 31 of the 29th April, and No. 48 of the 20th June on this subject have already been sent to your Lordship from Peking.\n\nI have, &c. (Signed) C. W. CAMPBELL.\n\nInclosure 1 in No. 1.\n\nActing Consul-General Campbell to Sir E. Satow.\n\n(No. 70. Confidential.) Sir,\n\nCanton, August 20, 1904. WITH reference to my despatch No. 48, Confidential, of the 20th June, I had the honour to telegraph to you on the 4th July suggesting that Sir Robert Hart should be moved to send telegraphic instructions to the Commissioner of Customs to commence work on the barriers without further delay. I was informed privately at the time that nothing was being done, and that the delay was caused by the insufficient authority of the Commissioner of Customs.\n\nShortly afterwards I ascertained that Mr. Tyler had commenced a thorough survey of the barrier reaches of the river, with the assistance of the revenue cruiser \"Fei Hu\" and a Chinese gun-boat lent by the Viceroy. This survey was conducted assiduously, and was completed only a few days ago. While it was in progress an arrangement was, I am informed, come to between Sir Robert Hart and the Provincial Government under which a sum up to 100,000 taels is to be loaned, if necessary, out of the tonnage dues fund for the barrier works. On the 17th instant advertisements, a copy of which I have the honour to inclose, were published in the Hong Kong press calling for offers in connection with the removal of the barriers in the Canton River.\n\nThe offers invited indicating a partial removal of the barriers only, I have ascertained that they are intended to include such portions as obstruct the navigable channel, and I take it that, in view of the Imperial Maritime Customs, this is all that is necessary to fulfil the terms of Article V of the Commercial Treaty.\n\nThere is no doubt that a considerable proportion of the barriers do not affect the navigable channel directly. Sections of them lie in shoal water or on tidal flats, over which steamer traffic is out of the question. An objection to leaving these portions untouched might arise from the probable effect on the navigable channel, but I must add that such technical opinion as I have had an opportunity of hearing would appear to favour a partial removal of the barriers and not a total removal.\n\nI would, therefore, not be inclined at this stage to raise any question of the interpretation of Article V. A discussion might create further delay, and in any case, neither the Customs nor the Viceroy have stated that the works for which offers are invited are final. I would propose, with your approval, to wait until these works are completed, or are near completion, and then to submit my observations on the extent to which they fulfil the Treaty undertaking.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed) C. W. CAMPBELL.\n\n[2156 -1]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-326 - Foreign Office - 1904.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 395305, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-326 - Foreign Office - 1904", "page_number": 642, "title": "CO129-326 - Foreign Office - 1904", "content_text": "Camp amnes\n\nLord Laundame\n\nwill obsein. that under\n\nnice,\n\n1885 any\n\nforu\n\nas\n\nseven perso\n\nregister this a\n\nCampary.\n\nHis Lordships\n\nattention has no\n\nA\n\n8.\n\nhen drawn\n\nAmbli\n\nthe\n\nLaw Officers opinion.\n\nFee\n\nftte 1895\", which\n\nof the effet\n\nthat foreigners at\n\nformed\"\n\na\n\nCampany as\n\nregistred in\n\nДлийн\n\nded\n\nnot thereby establish\n\nwho\n\n>\n\na claim\n\n638\n\nprotection front\n\nH. his\n\n4\n\nask you\n\nFood\n\nfot\n\nI am\n\n6\n\nFor so\n\n& return\n\nThee Hongking\n\nof this\n\ndept at your\n\ncaninirace\n\nو\n\nA\n\nR", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-326 - Foreign Office - 1904.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 395726, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-327 - Individuals - 1904", "page_number": 270, "title": "CO129-327 - Individuals - 1904", "content_text": "# thing Coldraked trial \n\nbehind his ball, in camera, and of emuse. without this slightest wide-ce in support, unless lies and lies and perjung \n\n6 A fitting conrie) Frung erreg diana of Hughing, Li can be holen mel the tons of fortine a k Hughing! \"There Ital any changes against you. writing by the Zwemment cond I have abrendy submitted Kiletter ofte Night Hemmell the decute optate.

If the boat was not rotten I could get some money for my daily labour. I lost because the Company levy taxes on the shells and I could not get my expenses and therefore I ceased dredging. The customs levied duties on lime and not on shells. Now there is no customs' duty. I spent $300 or $400 a year for wages and expenses. The taels $16 is net profit. I got about $1,000 proceeds. If I had a junk now after deducting all expenses I could get about $400 including paying licence. If I had a junk and had money I could get more than before. The price for shells now is higher than before. I want compensation to repair my old junk. I cannot do reclamation work because I have no money to employ labourers.

A Committee which sat in Hongkong in 1903 to enquire into the excessive infantile mortality of the colony did not mention the use of king chee and Doctors whom I have spoken to about it either do not know of the custom or they merely know that King chee is given by mothers to children.\n\nThe Cantonese infant is breast fed more generally than at home. When the mother cannot feed the child a wet-nurse is procured when possible; the fresh milk of animals is almost never used by the Cantonese as a food for infants, though condensed milk is given to some extent by the poor in coast ports. It is not always possible to breast feed an infant and the Cantonese resort to at least two other methods of feeding very young children. One method is that of giving what are called \"birth cakes\"; these are composed of sugar and rice, the latter is more or less cooked by dry heat after washing and is then very finely powdered. When used, the cakes are made into an emulsion with water.

Another method is that of giving king chee. When bought at the shops, this is found to be whole dried persimmons which are shrunken and are about the consistency of dried figs. They are, I am told, given to the child in small pieces unsoaked between drinks of water. Or soaked in water, they swell considerably and can easily be broken up into soft stringy pieces of a yellowish colour.\n\nDuring the thirteen months Jan. 1907 to Feb. 1908, there have been examined at the Hongkong Public Mortuary three hundred and eighty-three live-born children under the age of one month.\n\nAnd in six of these, death was considered to be due to the mechanical effects of overfeeding with king chee.\n\nThe cases are as follows:\n\n## Case Reports\n\n### Case 1\nwas a male, judged by the condition of the cord to be about seven days old. The over-distended stomach was tightly packed with masses of king chee; there was no free fluid in the stomach. The king chee was moist but appeared as though it would take up more moisture.\n\n### Case 2\nwas a male considered to be about six days old. There was a large lump composed of pieces of imperfectly soaked king chee in the abdomen, partly covered by shreds of the digested stomach. There was acute peritonitis matting the intestines and the remains of the stomach.

Brynmor Jones, M.P., to Foreign Office.--(Received February 5.)\n\nDear Sir,\n\n27, Bryanston Square, W., February 4, 1908.\n\nI AM much obliged for your letter of the 16th January. Since I received it I have been looking at the Treaty between this country and Japan and other documents.\n\nThe Anglo-Japanese Treaty of the 12th August, 1905, clearly lays down the maintenance of the \"independence and integrity\" of the Chinese Empire as one of its objects.\n\nThe contention is that any Agreement which Japan may have induced the Chinese Government to make which limits its freedom of action is a breach of Japan's duty to the United Kingdom under the Anglo-Japanese Treaty.\n\nA Railway Convention that binds China not to construct a railway parallel to the South Manchurian Railway (no limits of longitude being laid down) prevents any development of North China (so far as railway works are concerned), except with the consent of Japan.\n\nI cannot assent to the proposition that the question of new railways in China is one primarily for arrangement between China and Japan, except, of course, in the sense that every bargain is primarily one for arrangement between the parties to it.\n\nI need hardly say that I have no private interest in the extension of the railway in question; but on public grounds I trust that the Government will make such representations as will induce Japan to withdraw pressure on China, which is being exercised most unfairly to the detriment of the interests of British subjects.\n\nI am, &c. (Signed) D. BRYNMOR JONES.\n\n[2856 e-2]\n\n1", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-351 - Public Offices - 1908.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 418358, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-354 - Public Offices & Others - 1908", "page_number": 308, "title": "CO129-354 - Public Offices & Others - 1908", "content_text": "305\n\nDOMESTIC.\n\nOffice or Individual.\n\nWalter Wff..\n\n1908\n\nsaus\n\nLast previous Paper,\n\nGov\n\n24690\n\nHONG KONG\n\nNo. 28301\n\n(Subject.)\n\nTREES\n\nC 0.\n\n28301\n\nPE 4 AUG 08\n\nNon-renewal of his agreement with for Portion out inconvenience arising from uncertainty caused by decision of for Act for reason.\n\nhi Ziddio\n\n(Minutes.)\n\nCopy core:\n\nGov.\n\nW.

A short time ago the Board of Finance memorialized the Throne and asked that the question of raising the price of salt in each province should be considered as a means towards making good the loss in this item of revenue, and permission was granted accordingly at the time. But this scheme will only produce some 4,000,000 or 5,000,000 taels altogether, a sum which falls far short of the amount required.\n\nWe are very anxious to find a remedy for this evil, and the weakness of our country, and the difficulty of stimulating the people to action causes us great distress. Moreover, we are afraid lest the hopes of friendly nations should be disappointed.\n\nOur anxiety at such a state of affairs is very great, and we therefore issue this further Edict. The duty of suppressing opium smoking among civil and military officials rests with the Opium Commissioners and with the chief officials in the various offices in Peking and the provinces; they must use their utmost efforts to make searching investigation, and they must not be influenced by personal feelings or be unwilling to run the risk of incurring odium and hatred. The responsibility for the rank and file in each branch of the army and for teachers and pupils at the school rests with the respective officials of these Departments; they must lose no time in instituting strict inquiries so that the evil may be stopped.\n\nAs regards the merchants and ordinary people, the responsibility of suppressing opium smoking rests with the Board of the Interior and with the Governors-General and Governors of the various provinces, the Governor of Peking, and the local Tartar Generals and Military Lieutenant-Governors. They should also make further efforts to procure prescriptions for efficacious remedies, and should establish depôts for the distribution of medicine, so that the people may be encouraged and made to feel ashamed of the vice. They should choose from the methods of foreign nations a remedy which will lessen the craving for the drug, so that the amount consumed will become less and less until it finally ceases. It is our earnest hope that by thus closing every avenue to this evil it may at last be eradicated.\n\nThe suppression of opium cultivation lies also within the duties of these officials; they must deliberate on the local conditions of their particular provinces, and give strict orders to their subordinates to see that this cultivation is stopped and that any such crops planted in the future are destroyed. They must see that the place of this noxious plant is taken by profitable crops suitable to the nature of the soil.\n\nIt will be necessary to ascertain that these duties are carried out, and those who have done well will be largely rewarded.\n\nThe question of making good the deficit in revenue from duties on opium will be gone into by the Board of the Interior, and it will be the duty of the Board of Finance to use their utmost endeavours to devise a suitable scheme for this purpose.\n\nTo raise money at this period is extremely difficult, and the relative advantages and disadvantages of such schemes should be carefully weighed; but there must be no delay in working out more methods of collecting funds and putting them into immediate effect. If any of the high provincial authorities have thought out some suitable scheme they should memorialize the Throne, in order to enable us to select the most suitable, so that those who are investigating the question of opium suppression may not be deterred by the fear of lack of revenue.\n\nAlthough the revenue of the country be lessened, how else can my people get rid of this evil which destroys them as surely as if they relied on putrid meat and poisonous wine to relieve their hunger and thirst?\n\nIn future, all those who have any share of responsibility in this matter must not try to shift it on to others; each one must do his own duty, and all must mutually assist each other, so as to aid us in securing the benefits of a prosperous administration. Each office in Peking and the provinces on receipt of this Decree must report to us truly and accurately as to the method of suppression adopted by them.\n\nRespect this,\n\nMarch 15, 1909.\n\n## Domestic Correspondence\n\n| Reference | Date | Description |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| C.O. 14133 | | Lauton Hawkow Railway Loan |\n| | 13 April 1909 | |\n| | | HONG KONG |\n| 14133 | | |\n| 165 | | DOMESTIC |\n\nRce 26 APR OF \nLeeds copies of corres with threese \nPrevious Paper Minister convering protect of thee for home \nFoo \n100 12913 \npapers already sent to ... it will have been seen that ...

It should be borne in mind that the ultimate breadth of the new channel between the normal lines—here about 2,000 feet apart—is calculated for the whole of the Whangpoo stream at low water, whilst as yet a considerable part flows the other way through ship-channel.\n\nAs explained more than once, the transfer of stream has to be done gradually so as to prevent any tide killing. Now in this upper part the stream along the \"passage,\" not guided on the one or other side, and, of course, training works between the normal lines being out of the question, naturally must be liable to shiftings, especially in a stream-bed like this. The only possible way left to force the stream in the direction desired, i.e., in that of the leading marks already placed by the harbourmaster, is dredging, and lately it was necessary to have all the three powerful dredgers at work in this part.\n\n| Cross sections | Cross section area.

Fisherman and up to the Kajow Creek, before an open space of water, the depth of water increased with from 2 feet to 3 feet in these four months. This has been caused by contracting the stream between the works made there. For the same reason the depth of water over the inner bar is now marked more than it used to be.\n\n## Opening junk-channel\n\nThe opening of junk-channel for most of the shipping would relieve much the sinking parties now hard at work in the upper end of ship-channel. As to depth of water no difficulties would be met with except for the deepest ocean steamers, but on account of the shiftings above-mentioned—it being found necessary to have all the dredgers at work in the upper part of junk-channel, and these with their spread of anchors just in the line of the new fairway—it is considered better to postpone such an opening yet for a while.\n\nJOHS DE RIJKE.\n\n| Cross section | Depth at low water in feet | | | |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| VII | 19.2 | 440, 680, 1,190, 1,380 |\n| VI | 19.4 | 760, 800, 870, 1,600 |\n| V | 25.4 | 310, 500, 860, ... |\n| IV | 29.3 | 560, 530, 1,100, ... |\n| III | 27.4 | 300, 570, 1,160, ... |\n| II | 26.8 | ... | ... | ... |\n| I | 28.3 | 500, 870, 890, 1,010, 970, 1,080 |\n\nAll the cross-sections are 1,200 feet apart, the fourteen together thus a length of stream of 16,800 feet.\n\nTaking the new river over its whole width between the normal lines, I can say that also in this upper part not any silting has been found. But the latest soundings show a loss in depth here and there in the route indicated by the leading marks in the \"passage,\" as also a narrowing of the channel once formed along the concave at and above Upper Gough. This has been caused by shifting, or matter replaced during high flood tides running strongly over the flats left of the old junk-channel bank. The flats on the left side, with less than 9 feet of water at low water still extend downward to about 1,300 feet below Upper Gough section, and, I fear, will cause more or less trouble yet for some time.\n\nThe only remedy besides enforced dredging is by going on vigorously in restraining the flow along the ship-channel, and thus diverting more and more of the ebb tide into the junk-channel.\n\n## Stream along the ship-channel\n\nThe ship-channel may be taken as commencing from the upper end of Gough Island, as it was in 1907. We know about how much the stream along the junk-channel has increased already by dredging and training and, as a matter of course, the stream along the other way—the ship-channel—must have decreased. The capacity of a stream is determined by the wetted perimeter of the channel and the velocity. That the velocity has decreased in a marked degree is found in preceding reports, but from this does not follow at once a decrease in cross-section. The latter means silting, and with the very fine matter in suspension, as here the velocity must decrease considerably before any settling can be expected.\n\nShanghae, April 23, 1909.\n\n## Survey\n\nJunk-channel was sounded three times during the quarter. Lines run 300 feet to 400 feet between the normal lines. In January from storm to signal, in February from storm to half-way between salient and limit, and in March from storm to Pheasant Point; besides this eleven lines of soundings were run at salient and two lines between salient and limit. Fourteen lines were run from the shore to the normal line between Dyke End and storm, and eight lines of shore soundings were taken 300 feet apart from Dyke End Crib. Twenty-five lines of soundings were run into deep water from the two Dolphin poles at the inner bar. That part of the river between Signal and Joss House Jetty was sounded. Lines 300 feet to 400 feet apart, and sweeps (fifteen lines) taken at Princes and Fort Jetty station. Twenty lines, 80 feet apart, were run around Woosung Spit buoy.\n\nThe shore line was surveyed from Pheasant Point to two stones, and the land from Woosung Creek to Joss Range was surveyed from the shore to about 500 feet inland. Forty-seven lines of shore soundings were taken between Kajow Creek and the Standard Oil Company's wharf.\n\nThe grass line between Black Creek and the Flour Mill point was measured, and fourteen lines of shore soundings, 750 feet apart, were run into deep water. The ship-channel was sounded from Telegraph to Kajow Creek, lines 400 feet to 500 feet apart.\n\nShanghae Harbour.—The bund line between Birts wharf and Soy Chee cotton mill was checked. The frontage of B.C. Lot No. 2,703 was measured to ascertain the area of land to be reclaimed.\n\n## Office Work\n\nAll the above surveys have been plotted on the standard maps, and various tracings were prepared for the engineering department.\n\nH.

In the last general report on the suppression of opium, it was stated that, according to the approved proposals of the Board of Finance, poppy cultivation was to cease in the province of Hei-lung-chiang at the end of 1908, and in Kirin and Fengtien during 1909. In December of last year, His Majesty's acting consul-general at Mukden reported that orders had been issued to the local authorities throughout Manchuria to entirely prohibit the growth of the poppy in the districts under their charge after the spring of 1909. In so large a country as Manchuria, it is a practical impossibility to estimate the comparative extent of land under poppy cultivation in successive years, but there should not be equal difficulty in ascertaining after this year how far the orders of total prohibition have been carried out. No reports have reached His Majesty's Legation from Mukden since the end of last year, when His Majesty's acting consul-general reported that he fully believed in the sincerity of the high provincial authorities as set forth in their numerous anti-opium proclamations, but that it was difficult, if not impossible, at that time to furnish a reliable estimate as to the diminution in the area of land under poppy cultivation. The Newchang commissioner of customs estimated the consumption of the province for the year at 8,000 piculs, whereas before the anti-opium edict of 1906, it had averaged 12,000 piculs, plus an export of 3,000 piculs, making a total output of 15,000 piculs. The export of opium from Manchuria has practically ceased, and in 1908, only 3 piculs of foreign opium were imported through the two ports of Newchwang and Antung. The commissioner estimated the opium smokers to amount to about 2 per cent. of the total population of the three provinces, though, of course, the proportion varied considerably in different districts. This meant that there had been a decrease of one out of every three smokers.\n\nAt Mukden itself, there is effective police supervision and proper control of the licensed houses and of the sale of the drug. The use of opium in inns, restaurants, brothels, and other public resorts had entirely ceased by the end of last year; there was no smoking amongst the local officials, at any rate in public, and the Viceroy had dismissed several officials for opium smoking. The diminution in the number of smokers is put by the Chinese themselves at 50 per cent., but this is probably an exaggeration. Mr. Acting Consul-General Willis reported at the end of last year that a similar condition of things seemed to prevail in all the larger cities of Manchuria, though not perhaps in all the outlying districts, where the execution of the Viceroy's orders depended solely on the inclination and energy of the chief local authority; public feeling against the opium habit was steadily growing everywhere, and those who still indulged in the vice did so in private—in itself a good sign. The general consensus of available testimony tends to show that even in the remoter districts of Manchuria, there has been a decrease both in cultivation and in smoking. Mr. Willis drew attention to the increased use of morphia by subcutaneous injections, which threatened to become a worse evil than the disease it was intended to cure; the syringes and morphia were apparently distributed about the country by Japanese pedlars.\n\nMr. Willis's general conclusions are borne out by His Majesty's vice-consul at Antung, who reported that in the province of Fengtien, the restriction of the area under poppy cultivation was being steadily persisted in, that in some parts, total prohibition had been enforced by the uprooting of the crops, and that, although there were a certain number of officials who treated the question with laxity, yet public opinion throughout his consular district was generally in favour of total prohibition.\n\nThe Viceroy of Manchuria, in a memorial to the Throne dated the 12th April, stated that in the province of Fengtien, the people were not greatly addicted to the vice; that the enforcement of the prohibition among the official classes had not been difficult to carry into effect; that the soil was not particularly suitable for the growth of the poppy; and that he would take proper steps to see that the order forbidding its cultivation after the spring of 1909 was enforced, and other crops, such as grain, cotton, indigo, &c., planted in its stead.\n\nIt is gratifying to be able to report that shortly after the termination of the Opium Commission, orders were issued for the closing of the opium dens in the Japanese settlement in Antung, though the actual closing was not carried out till the end of July. These dens, to the number of about 150, had hitherto offered every inducement to opium smokers to indulge in the vice.\n\n## CHIHLI\n\nSir Alexander Hosie was able to report favourably last year on the condition of things in the metropolitan province of Chihli and on the energy and determination displayed by the Anti-Opium Bureau. On the whole, the information received since then from His Majesty's consul-general at Tien-tsin denotes further progress.\n\nA memorial by the Viceroy of Chihli published on the 21st January announced his decision to prohibit totally the cultivation of opium throughout the province after the spring of 1909, so that here, as in Manchuria, it will be easier to observe the effective value of this summary measure, which has been adopted by several provincial governments as the only satisfactory way of grappling with the question of suppression.\n\nIn a further memorial, dated the 19th April, the Viceroy explained that it was this conviction that had induced him to issue such a summary order against cultivation of the poppy. In regard to suppression of smoking, he stated that strict measures had been taken to stamp out the habit among officials, and several delinquents had been dismissed. Every effort had been made to discourage the use of the drug among the general public, and the system of licences had been strictly enforced. Large quantities of anti-opium medicines had been distributed, and the Viceroy claimed that between 20,000 and 30,000 cures had been effected in the 200 institutions specially established for that purpose. All opium saloons had been closed, and the number of licensed shops was being reduced, 800 having already been closed. Severe measures had been taken to check illicit trading in opium and also in morphia, over 1,300 convictions for selling opium without a licence having been recorded.\n\nHe had taken steps to make good the loss in revenue by an increase in the salt tax and by imposing higher fees on opium licences, and would take further steps if necessary.\n\nA report received from a missionary in the north of the province said that the system of quarterly licences for the use of opium had had excellent effects; that the number of smokers had been reduced by 20 to 25 per cent.; that there were only three licensed opium shops in the city where he lived, and that the cultivation of the poppy had already been prohibited in the district. Reports were received from missionaries during the earlier part of the year covering a large portion of west central Chihli, and these showed that the restrictions on smoking were well enforced, most of the officials had abandoned smoking, the renewal of smokers' licences was insisted on, and no opium dens were open; but the restrictions on cultivation were only enforced in some places, while in others, the attitude of the authorities was not sufficiently uncompromising, and farmers were reported to have sown both poppy and wheat on the same ground, their idea being that if they were allowed to grow poppy, they would root out the wheat, and, if not, they could root out the poppy and still have their wheat crop.\n\nHis Majesty's consul-general made the usual complaint as to the nature of the remedies employed against the opium habit, and said that in many cases, they were more dangerous than the disease.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-363 - Public Offices & Others - 1909.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 424329, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-364 - Public Offices & Others - 1909", "page_number": 462, "title": "CO129-364 - Public Offices & Others - 1909", "content_text": "## Step 1: Understand the task\nThe task is to proofread OCR output of historical records related to Hong Kong.

JR710\n\nHowever, to follow the instructions more closely and improve the output:\n\n## Step 1: Reformat the text into proper paragraphs and correct obvious OCR errors.\nThe original text appears to be a jumbled collection of words and phrases due to OCR errors. Let's first try to identify and correct some of the obvious errors and reformat the text.\n\n## Step 2: Identify and correct spelling errors.\nUpon closer inspection, there are numerous spelling errors, e.g., \"Col. Calimeter\" could be \"Col. Calendar\", \"Felgenen\" is unclear, \"press до agra شما\" seems to be a mix of languages and doesn't form a coherent phrase, \"uit of t g E. of St. L\" is likely \"out of the Govt. of St. L\" or similar, \"bhou\" could be \"below\", etc.\n\n## Step 3: Fix spacing issues and rejoin broken sentences.\nThere are many spacing issues and broken sentences. For example, \"I later it but the question will come befrom the next Cabinet?\" could be \"I read it later, but the question will come before the next Cabinet?\" after correction.\n\n## Step 4: Apply Markdown formatting.\nThe task requires transforming the text into standard Markdown. However, the final output format requested is HTML using `` for paragraphs.\n\n## Step 5: Reconstruct the text based on the given instructions and output in HTML format.\nGiven the complexity and the errors in the original text, a direct correction into coherent English is challenging without more context. However, we can still attempt to correct obvious errors and format the text.\n\nThe best answer is \n\nbefore the Col.

Clerk is properly speaking the head of this sub-department, and it is his duty to attend to the more technical matters. This officer is a young man, without a long experience in the Harbour Office. General supervision should really be left to the Harbour Master or Assistant Harbour Master, and the work in the sub-department is not much for one European Clerk and the fifth Chinese clerk.\n\nThe light fees collection book should be made by the Entrance and Clearance sub-department.\n\nAs regards Section 3 of this department, the officers are the Second Clerk Mr. Chan Pui and the writer Tong Hin Ting. Mr. Chan Pui is really the accountant for the whole Harbour Department and in charge of general correspondence, Mr. Wong Hin Ting is a cheap clerk, of whom not much can be expected, he acts as a copying clerk. The amount of 0.5.0. documents copied into a book might be considerably reduced. Mr. Chen Pui has a full day's work,\n\n7 Taking these two sections of the general office together, the assistance required from the European Clerk 1st. Clerk should be very slight; and the duties should be performed by Messrs. Chan Pui, Chan Pui Sam and one other Chinese clerk.\n\n8. This is practically the staff with which the work is being carried on at present as Mr. Lenfestey's time is mostly occupied over emigrating and in the Junk Office, and the temporary clerk is of very little use. When the offices were visited the staff showed no sign of pressure of work.\n\n9 Taking (c) Clearance and Entry Office for steamers. This section (section D) consists of two clerks: Mr. Fan Tsung Hing 4th. clerk assisted by Mr. Tung Sze Tong. The duties are shortly, these concerning Entry and Clearance of Ocean steamers and making out certain returns. The duties set forth in detail are given in VII and VIII. As regards entry and clearance the amount of work is shown by the number of receipts given for light dues namely 3,071 up to August 22nd, or a working day average of 154.\n\nAs", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-369 - Acting Governor May Governor Sir Lugard - 1910 [10-11].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 427804, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-370 - Governor Sir Lugard & Public Offices - 1910 [12]", "page_number": 352, "title": "CO129-370 - Governor Sir Lugard & Public Offices - 1910 [12]", "content_text": "347\n\nThere is in existence a busy service between Hongkong & Caution into a junction of the harbour this takes one a bit way forry kurice & most were affording boats, it must offer every possible advantage the furnishing trains.

First the Archbishop of Canterbury, him, presents his Majesty to the people, that divers great Officers of State going along with they may recognise him, and acclaim him by their voices as their King. \n\nHongkong, the proud boast of whose citizens is that it yields to none in loyalty to the Throne, demonstrated this sentiment yesterday in a manner which was as thorough as it was striking. The uncertainty of the weather conditions interfered somewhat with the programme of celebrations and with the scheme of decorations and illuminations, but nevertheless the community entered into the spirit of the historic occasion and gave to the national event that veneration and respect which was due from all patriotic subjects of a great Empire. The day was a public holiday, so that practically everyone had an opportunity of viewing the various celebrations and enjoying the scenes of animation in the decorated streets. The children, as was befitting, were given reason for remembering the historic occasion. Not only were the scholars given medals and instructed in the Governor's address as to the meaning of the Coronation, but they had opportunities of viewing brilliant scenes on land and on sea the like of which will probably not be witnessed for some time. From morning till night the streets were thronged, and the volume of traffic was perhaps greater than has been experienced in Hongkong on any previous occasion. In these circumstances it is pleasant to relate that no mishap occurred to mar the proceedings of the day.\n\n## THE SERVICE AT ST. JOHN'S CATHEDRAL\n\nThe religious aspect of the Coronation was emphasised by the impressive service at St. John's Cathedral. The service was attended by a congregation which was thoroughly representative of the Colony, and as the accommodation was limited admission was by ticket. Shortly after ten o'clock ticket-holders began to take their places, and before eleven o'clock practically every seat was occupied. H.E. the Governor, accompanied by Captain Mitchell-Taylor, A.D.C., and Captain Simson, private secretary, was present, as were H.E. Major General Anderson, C.B., Commodore Eyres, R.N., and others in the nave including the members of the Executive and Legislative Councils, the Consuls and other representatives of Foreign Powers, Naval and Military Officers, members of the Coronation Celebrations Committee, and a number of Chinese residents. Upwards of seventy Freemasons in regalia were also present.\n\nDuring the assembling of the congregation Mr. Denham Faller played the following selections on the organ: Elgar's Imperial March, Wesley's Choral Song and Fugue, and Air and Variation by Smart. There was a large body of surpliced clergy, including some Chinese ministers, and as they proceeded up the aisle \"O God our help in ages past\" was sung as a processional hymn. The procession was constituted as follows: Rev. F.T. Lake, boys of the choir, gentlemen of the choir, Rev. C.H. Hickling, Rev. W.W. Rodgers, Rev. C.B. Shanu, Rev. A.B. Thornhill, Rev. C.E. Thompson, Rev. W.H. Hewett, Rev. C.N. McKenzie, Rev. S.W. Payne, Rev. W.H. Foster-Pegg, Rev. H.O. Spink, Rev. Fong Yut San, Rev. A.D. Stewart, Rev. F.T. Johnson, his Lordship the Bishop.\n\nII. Then after prayer to God, such as we ourselves have now made, the King takes a solemn Oath to govern his people according to the Laws and Customs of the Realm; to cause Law and Justice, in Mercy, to be executed in all his judgments, and to protect the Church.\n\nIII. Thereupon after solemn prayer for the presence and blessing of God the Holy Ghost, the King is anointed with holy Oil upon his head, his breast, and his hands, in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost; forasmuch as Kings, Priests, and Prophets of old were after this manner made and consecrated to teach and govern the people of Israel; and the Archbishop says over him this blessing: \n\n\"Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who by his Father was anointed with the Oil of gladness above his fellows, by his holy Anointing pour down upon your Head and Heart the blessing of the Holy Ghost, and prosper the works of your Hands: that by the assistance of his Holy Spirit you may worthily rule the people committed to your charge in wealth, peace, and heavenly grace; and after a long and glorious course of ruling this temporal kingdom wisely, justly, and religiously, you may at last be made to partake of an eternal kingdom; through Jesus Christ our Lord.\"\n\n\"As you are this day solemnly invested in the government of this earthly kingdom, so may you be sealed with that Spirit of promise, which is the earnest of an heavenly inheritance, and reign with him who is the blessed and only Potentate, to whom be glory for ever and ever- Amen.\"\n\nIV. Then is His Majesty invested with the Ensigns of his kingly state. First he is clothed with royal vestments; and then he receives the Sword of Justice, brought from the Altar of God, and delivered to him by the hands of the Bishops; and when he is girded therewith, the Archbishop says: \n\nWith this Sword do justice, stop the growth of iniquity, protect the holy Church of God, help the weak, comfort the feeble, defend widows and orphans, restore things that are gone to decay, maintain what is restored, punish and reform what is amiss, and confirm what is in good order: so that by doing these things you may be glorious in righteousness, peace and charity, and abound in the love of God, and reign with Jesus Christ in this life, that you may reign with him in the life which is to come.\n\nNext he receives the Sceptre with the Cross, the ensign of kingly power and justice; and the Sceptre with the Dove, the rod of equity and mercy, with this injunction: \n\nBe so merciful that you be not too remiss; so execute justice that you forget not mercy. Punish the wicked, protect and cherish the just, and lead your people in the way wherein they should go.\n\nAnd then the Crown is brought from the Altar after prayer to God; and the Archbishop reverently puts it upon the King's head. And the people at the sight thereof with loud and repeated shouts cry, GOD SAVE THE KING. And after that, the Archbishop goes on and says: \n\n\"God crown you with a crown of glory and righteousness, that by the ministry of this our benediction, having a right faith and manifold fruit of good works, you may obtain the crown of an everlasting kingdom by the gift of Him whose kingdom endureth for ever. Amen.\" Last of all, the Holy Bible is brought from off the Altar, and delivered to the King by the Archbishop and Bishops with the words: \n\n\"Our gracious King: we present you with this Book, the most valuable thing that this world affords. Here is wisdom; this is the royal Law, these are the lively Oracles of God.\"\n\nV. The King having been thus anointed and crowned, and having received all the ensigns of royalty, the Archbishop solemnly blesses him, and with him all his people; and every part of the Benediction is followed with a loud and hearty Amen.\n\nVI. And after this the King goes to his Throne, and is placed therein, with the prayer that God will establish his Throne in righteousness, that it may stand fast for evermore; and the Bishops, the Princes, and the other Peers do their homage to his Majesty.\n\nVII. Then follows the solemn anointing and crowning of her Majesty the Queen; and after that, the King and Queen draw near to God's Holy Table to receive the Holy Communion, putting off their crowns before the Altar. The Te Deum is sung, as a hymn of praise to Almighty God, who hath shewn mercy to our Sovereign and his people, in thus setting him on the Throne of his ancestors.\n\nAt the end of this great and solemn service, Pray we, therefore, brethren, both now and in the days to come, that the same Lord God Almighty will by the continual assistance of his heavenly grace enable him to fulfil the high responsibility of his sacred trust.\n\nThe following special Prayer for the King and Queen was said:— \n\nO Lord our God, who upholdest and governest all things by the word of thy power: Receive our humble prayers for our Sovereign Lord King George; and as thou dost this day set a crown of pure gold upon his head, so let thy wisdom be his guide and thy strength be his arm; let truth and justice, holiness and ... in all virtue, and so faithfully serve our Lord Jesus Christ in this life, that you may reign with him in the life which is to come.\n\nThen the King, rising from the chair of his Coronation, ungirds his Sword, and going to the Altar, offers it there to God from Whom he has received it.\n\nAfter the chanting of Psalm 122 the proper lesson (I. S. Peter i 13-18) was read by the Rev. C.H. Hickling, Pastor of the Union Church. Then the Litany was intoned by the Rev. A.B. Thornhill and the choir. The Anthem was taken from Psalm xxvi. 3, 6 and 7. It was excellently rendered by the choir, the treble solo being taken by Master Martin.\n\nThen he receives the Ring, the ensign of the kingly dignity and of defence of the Catholic Faith; and the Archbishop says: \n\n\"Almighty God, the fountain of all goodness: Give ear, we beseech thee, to our prayers, and multiply thy blessings upon thy servant Mary, consecrated in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, this day to be our Queen; defend her evermore from all dangers, ghostly and bodily, make her a great example of Virtue and piety, and a blessing to this kingdom; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, O Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, world without end. Amen.\"\n\nThe Te Deum was sung, and the service ended by the congregation all joining in the singing of the National Anthem.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-378 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1911 [6-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 432230, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-378 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1911 [6-7]", "page_number": 438, "title": "CO129-378 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1911 [6-7]", "content_text": "## ROMAN CATHOLIC SERVICE\n\nSimultaneously with the service at St. John's Cathedral, a special service took place at the Roman Catholic Cathedral. The spacious building was filled with a devout congregation, and the proceedings were of a solemnity and impressiveness that affected all worshippers and helped them to realise the importance of the great event. Low Pontificial Mass was celebrated by his Lordship Bishop Pozzoui, assisted by Monsignor P. de Maria, Rev. L. Robert, and Rev. Father Noval, while the Rev. G. M. Spada and the Rev. A. Placzek were Masters of Ceremonies, the former acting for the clergy and the latter for the congregation. The order of service was as follows:\n\n* Coronation March, Rich Eilenberg, by members of the Sociedade Philharmonica, conducted by Prof. F. Gonzales.\n* Mass of the Day with collect for the Elected King.\n* During the Mass the following music was rendered:\n\t+ Veni Creator, German Core, by the Cathedral choir and friends.\n\t+ Andante Religioso, Francis Thome, by the Sociedade Philharmonica.\n\t+ Sanctus, Perosi, by the Cathedral choir.\n\t+ Largo e Mesto, Beethoven, by the Sociedade Philharmonica.\n* During the benediction of the Blessed Sacrament, the following hymns were sung:\n\t+ O Salutaris, Webb, by the Cathedral choir.\n\t+ Te Deum, Gregorian, by the choir and clergy.\n\t+ Tantum Ergo, G. Mercanti, by the Cathedral choir.\n\t+ Laudate Dominum, by the choir and friends.\n* The service closed with the singing of \"God save the King,\" by the choir, clergy, and congregation, accompanied by the band of the Sociedade Philharmonica.\n\n## THE JEWISH SERVICE\n\nAt the special service held in the Ohel Leah Synagogue, the following prayer was offered after the sermon and the opening of the Ark:\n\nAlmighty God and everlasting King! From the place of Thy habitation Thou lookest upon all the indwellers of the earth. By Thee kings reign and princes rule. Thou establishest their throne, and in Thy hand is their glory and their might.\n\nPrayer for the King and the Royal Family,\n\nMay He who giveth salvation unto kings and dominion unto princes, Whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, Who delivered His servant David from the hurtful sword, Who maketh a way in the sea and a path in the mighty waters - may He bless, protect and exalt our Sovereign Lord, King George, Our Gracious Queen Mary, Alexandra, the Queen Mother, Edward, Prince of Wales, and all the Royal Family.\n\nMay the Supreme King of Kings in His mercy preserve the King, guard him, and deliver him from all trouble, sorrow and hurt. May He make his enemies fall before him, and in whatsoever he undertaketh may he prosper. May the Supreme King of Kings in His mercy put a spirit of wisdom and understanding into his heart and into the hearts of all his counsellors, that they may uphold the peace of the realm, advance the welfare of the nation, and deal kindly and truly with all Israel. In his days and in ours may Judah be saved and Israel dwell securely; and may the Redeemer come unto Zion. O that this may be His will, and let us say, Amen.\n\nThe Ark was then closed.\n\n## THE PARSEE SERVICE\n\nAlmost all the members of the Parsee Community were present at their Club premises at the corner of Elgin and Shelley Streets at 4 p.m. in the afternoon for a religious service. A special prayer was recited by the Priest, the whole congregation remaining standing. The following is the translation of the prayer from Gujarati:\n\n1. Blessed be the name of Holy Abura-Mazda! Almighty Abur-Mazda, Holy, Heavenly, Pure; give ear, we beseech Thee, to the prayers of Thy Mazdayaçnian servants, and satisfy us with Thy Mercy.\n2. Receive our heartfelt thanks, O Almighty God, that Thou art pleased this day to set a peerless crown upon the head of our Gracious Sovereign, King Emperor George.\n3. Vouchsafe to him, Merciful Creator, Thy majesty. Thou hast set Thy servant, George, upon the throne of his fathers. Thou knowest his heart, that it has ever been his desire and happiness to seek the welfare of his people and to execute Thy laws in the land.\n\nBehold, the day hath come that we looked for; we have found, we have seen it, the day on which he has been anointed King, when the crown of sovereignty has been placed upon his head, the day when he lifted up his hand to heaven and took the oath, that he would rule over his people according to the Statutes of the realm, and cause Law and Justice in Mercy to be executed.\n\nTherefore we have come into Thy house, and worship toward Thy holy temple. Hearken unto the voice of our cry, our King and our God, for unto Thee do we pray. May it please Thee to bless our Sovereign Lord the King: O God, save the King! May the King live! May the King live for ever! May Thine arm strengthen him to bear the heavy yoke of governance.\n\nEven as Thou hast set a diadem of fine gold upon his head, so crown him with honour and glory, with mercy and loving-kindness. Anoint him with the oil of gladness. Vouchsafe unto him the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of knowledge and fear of Thee, so that all the nations that dwell beneath his sceptre, the sceptre of righteousness, may abide in peace and tranquillity.\n\nPour out the riches of Thy heavenly goodness upon Queen Mary, who standeth at the right hand of the King in gracious majesty. Verily on her tongue is the law of kindness. Her eyes are upon the poor and upon those that are bruised in spirit. Her heart goeth out to those that are stretched upon the bed of languishing. Give her the desire of her heart, and do not withhold the request of her lips. Bless the Queen Mother, Heir Apparent, and all the members of the Royal House.\n\nWithdraw not, we beseech Thee, Thy loving-kindness from this realm. Shield the indwellers thereof. Remove from them pestilence, sword, famine and sorrow. Spread the days when peace will flourish throughout the world, when the earth will be full of the knowledge of Thee, as the waters cover the sea.\n\nGrant unto our Sovereign Lord the King, the spirits of heavenly piety, as also Thy spirit of wisdom for his guide and Thy arm for his strength, so that in his godliness, and in his unfained spirit of wisdom and strength, Justice, Truth, Peace and Love may flourish in his days to promote the well-being, solidarity and unity of his various subjects of all classes and creeds.\n\n4. We pray unto Thee, O Merciful Mazda, to bestow upon our illustrious Sovereign splendour and glory, health, vigour and victoriousness of body, wealth which may bring all prosperity, a long line of descendants gifted with intelligence, a long life and the best, brilliant and glorious life of the Pious.\n\n5. We beseech Thee, O Bountiful Giver of all Good, to be favourable to our ruler, and to bestow of Thy bounty upon his head the full blessings of the annihilation of famine and pestilence wherever prevailing in his wide dominions, and to endow, in his vast Empire, the happiness and cheer of fruitful peace and gladsome plenty.\n\n6. We supplicate Thee, O Merciful Creator, to crown the fulness of his days with the fulness of Thy divine blessings, grace and love, and receive our humble prayers, O Almighty God, that those and all Thy other gifts may be long continued, and crown him with immortality in the life to come.\n\n7. Listen, we pray Thee, to this earnest invocation of Thy servants of the Zoroastrian faith in Hongkong, and grant us our wishes.\n\n8. Merciful and Gracious Abura-Mazda, we again beseech Thee to give ear to our prayers and to extend Thy divine blessings, favour and love, out of Thy bounteous grace, upon our Gracious Queen Mary.\n\n[June 22, 1911]\n\n## THE PUBLIC MEETING\n\nThe public meeting to endorse the telegraphic addresses to be sent to Their Majesties took place in the City Hall shortly after noon. As was to be expected, the building was taxed to its utmost, all sections of the community being represented in the large gathering. Among those present were the American Delegates from Manila, who were accompanied by Captain Agg, K.O.Y.L.I. Sir Francis Piggott, Chairman of the Coronation Committee, on the entrance of His Excellency, proposed that the Governor preside over the meeting.\n\nHis Excellency then said: - Ladies and gentlemen, - To-day in both hemispheres, in every part of the world, and in every sea where the British flag flies, the subjects of our King are uniting to do homage and to wish him prosperity in his Coronation. They testify their loyalty and reverently and earnestly express their hopes that his reign may be long, prosperous and peaceful. To-day the Crown of his ancestors - that Crown which is the symbol of unity of the Empire - will be placed upon his head in the historic hall where a long line of British kings have been crowned, with all the pomp and circumstance of the old-time ritual. We in Hongkong do not come second to any British community in our loyalty to our King and the Throne. (Applause) We are celebrating to-day this historic event with rejoicing and with prayer. We desire to transmit to His Majesty our expressions, our heart-felt good wishes and congratulations, and our desires for his long and prosperous reign. I have, therefore, asked you to meet here in the City Hall to-day that you may hear the telegrams and addresses, and may approve them which it is proposed to send.\n\nThe Executive and Legislative Councils, in joint session with the Judges, send the following telegram:\n\nThe Executive and Legislative Councils of Hongkong, and the Judges of Hongkong, on behalf of Your Majesty's subjects in the Colony, beg most humbly to offer their loyal and respectful congratulations to You on the Occasion of the Coronation of Your Majesty as King and Emperor, and of Her Majesty Queen Mary. We pray that the event which is celebrated to-day may inaugurate a long and glorious reign for Your Majesties and an era of happiness, prosperity and honourable peace for Your Majesty's Kingdom and Empire.\n\nThe Coronation Committee, on behalf of the community, and on behalf of every race and nationality, has submitted the following telegram:\n\nHis Majesty's subjects in Hongkong present their loyal homage to the King, and the people of other nationalities within the borders of the Colony join with them in offering respectful congratulations to Their Majesties and in wishing them a long and happy reign.\n\nThe Chinese community propose to lay before the King at his Coronation at Delhi, which I hope to attend, a beautifully embroidered scroll expressing their loyalty and good wishes. The translation will be read to you presently by Mr. Chan Kai Ming.\n\nI may add that I received this morning by mail intimation from the Secretary of State that it was the intention of the King to present to this Colony portraits of himself and the Queen. (Applause)\n\nHis Excellency then asked the gathering to express their approval by holding up their hands. There was a full show of hands.\n\nMr. Ng Hon Tsz then read the Chinese address in the vernacular, and Mr. Chan Kai Ming read the translation in English as follows:\n\nTO HIS MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY GEORGE THE FIFTH\n\nBy the Grace of God, King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and of the British Dominions beyond the Seas, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India, Supreme Lord in and over the Colony of Hongkong and its Dependencies.\n\nAll the Chinese subjects and Chinese residents in Hongkong with uplifted hands and bowed heads dutifully present this address.\n\nBoth speakers were warmly applauded. Hon. Dr. Ho Kai asked His Excellency to present the embroidered copy of the address bound in red morocco to H. M. The King.\n\nOn the call of His Excellency three hearty cheers were given for the King, and the meeting dispersed.\n\n## ADDRESS FROM THE FREEMASONS\n\nThe Masonic bodies in Hongkong are sending the following address:\n\nTo HIS MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY KING GEORGE V - By the Grace of God, King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and of the British Dominions beyond the Seas, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India.\n\nThe Order of Freemasonry was cradled in that divine Faith whereof Your Majesty is the Defender, and is founded on the purest principles of piety and virtue. It teaches those heavenly principles of our duty to God, our duty to our neighbour, and our duty to ourselves, and reminds us of the constant need in our daily life of the practice of those truly kingly attributes Benevolence and Charity.\n\nThe Freemasons of this remote District rejoice greatly therefore that Your Majesty has been graciously pleased to become the Grand Patron of our Charities, and that Her Majesty the Queen has consented to be their Grand Patroness.\n\nLoyalty, Fidelity and Obedience have ever been among the watchwords of our Orders, and Your Majesty has no more devoted subjects than those who range under our banners.\n\nMay the Great Architect of the Universe grant, in His infinite wisdom, that Your Majesty's life may exceed the span of man's allotted term and that Your reign may be blessed with every Happiness for Your Majesty, for our beloved Queen Mary and for the members of Your Royal Family, and with Peace, Joy and Prosperity for Your Majesty's loyal subjects in all lands.\n\n## THE ROYAL SALUTE\n\nAt noon the warships in the harbour, both British and foreign, and the shore batteries, joined in a royal salute.\n\n## THE CORONATION PARADE\n\nOwing to the unsettled state of the weather, the review which was fixed to take place at 8 a.m. yesterday was postponed until the afternoon. The postponement proved propitious, for the rain held off and the parade was participated in and watched under pleasant weather conditions. A cloudy sky obscured the sun's rays and minimised the heat. An exceptionally large crowd surrounded the race course, and the quantity of bunting displayed gave the Valley the holiday appearance which it wears during race week. The troops were massed in the enclosure, and as they went through their preliminary evolutions presented an imposing appearance.\n\nAt four o'clock His Excellency the Governor arrived, and a royal salute was fired by the guns of two batteries, one stationed at the north, and one at the south end of the enclosure. His Excellency, accompanied by Major-General Anderson, Colonel St. John, Major Tulloch, Captain Grotton, Commodore Eyres, Captain Taylor, Captain Simson and an Indian A.D.C., inspected the troops and then returned to the saluting base. Preparations were made for the march past, and when all was in readiness the order was given, and to the strains of \"Sons of the Sea\" and regimental airs the naval brigade and the different regiments marched past in column.\n\n| Unit | Strength |\n| --- | --- |\n| Royal Marines | 513 |\n| Royal Navy | 176 |\n| Royal Garrison Artillery | 407 |\n| H.K.S.B., B.G.A. | 209 |\n| Royal Engineers | 175 |\n| K.Y.L.I. | 422 |\n| 8th Rajputs | 708 |\n| 126th Baluchis | 713 |\n| Total | 3,468 |\n\nAfter the march past the European troops were formed into a hollow square around the saluting base, with the K.O.Y.L.I. band near the flagstaff. His Excellency read the messages of congratulation and loyalty which were forwarded to the King, and then the troops raised three hearty cheers to His Majesty which reverberated among the hills.\n\nAn impressive drum head service followed. To the music of the K.O.Y.L.I. band the troops and the spectators joined in the hymn, \"O God, our help in ages past.\" Lessons were read and prayers offered by naval and military chaplains, and the service closed with the singing of the first verse of the National Anthem, in which thousands of voices joined.\n\nThe Indian regiments then gave three lusty cheers for the King, after which the troops, four deep, marched through the city to barracks.\n\n## ENTERTAINING THE CHILDREN\n\nThe school children were entertained in their various schools yesterday morning. The address of H.E. the Governor, in which he appropriately referred to the lessons of the Coronation, was read, and the medals were distributed to the children, after which they were treated to refreshments, etc.\n\n## THE DECORATIONS\n\nThe decorations were on a most extensive scale. In the harbour practically every vessel was beflagged from stem to stern, and foreign merchantmen joined with British in making a display of bunting. The Monmouth, Astræa, Flora and Tamar had a profusion of bunting, and the visiting American and Japanese gunboats contributed to the colour scheme on the water.\n\nAshore the principal decorations were on the water front, in Queen's Road, and at the various barracks. In the city the centre of attraction was Statue Square. Here various coloured standards had been erected, and from these were suspended festoons of greenery, each standard also bearing a green circle of foliage. Bannerettes also fluttered in the breeze. The buildings facing the harbour were embellished with the national colours, Japanese lanterns, etc., while practically every office showed a flag. As usual the Chinese made a brave display, and the quaint arches erected in various parts of the city were very striking indeed.\n\n## ILLUMINATIONS\n\nThe buildings on the water front and in Queen's Road were covered with lanterns which showed up very effectively. York Buildings had a beautiful frontage of red lamps, and the buildings along the Praya had their illuminations which added to the general effect. On Kowloon side the illuminated arch was very conspicuous, but the most picturesque sight was presented by the warships which were outlined with lights, the American ship _Ralston_ introducing a striking contrast with red lamps. The _Fatshan_ was hung with lamps, and smaller craft had their illuminations also. The grand scheme of illumination will not be seen until to-night.\n\nChinese fireworks were set off from the Parade Ground and in front of the Hongkong Club, and Japanese fireworks from the Public Gardens. The pyrotechnic display appealed to all sections of the community and was greatly appreciated.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-378 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1911 [6-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 432368, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-379 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1911 [8-9]", "page_number": 118, "title": "CO129-379 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1911 [8-9]", "content_text": "# Governor\n\nTell ldr Taylor that the **S. of S.** has replied & state that he adheres to his recommendation that a part of the costs incurred must fall on him.

It at once appeared that there was no company in any part of the world which had practical experience of continuous long distance working of wireless telegraphy. That was stated to the Committee by the expert representatives of the Admiralty, of the War Office, of the India Office, and of the Post Office, and all agreed that there was no company in any part of the world which had that experience except the Marconi Company. It is true that there were one or two syndicates and companies which were working and had worked various forms of wireless telegraph systems, and which occasionally had covered very considerable distances.\n\nIt is a well-known fact in the science of wireless telegraphy that remarkable distances are from time to time—atmospheric and other conditions being favourable—made by comparatively low power stations. Our own Post Office station at North Foreland, which has a normal range of regular communication of 250 miles, has occasionally exchanged messages with the Mediterranean, but that is rare. The Marconi station at Clifden, which is in regular day by day communication, or for very many hours per day, with Canada, Glace Bay, which is a range of 2,000 miles, has transmitted signals as far as Buenos Ayres, which is a distance of 6,000 miles. There are certain systems, which are now being experimented with, which occasionally have covered what experts call \"freak distances.\" That is a very different thing from being able to maintain continuously, through atmospheric and other interruptions, a commercial service day and night at all times of the year. It was found impossible in this matter to go into the market and to ask various firms, \"How much are 2,000 miles' wireless telegraph stations per half-dozen?\" The science is new, its operation is of extreme difficulty, and the Committee came to the conclusion that it was not advisable for that reason to throw the contract over to public tender.\n\nI should like in this connection to put this point to hon. Members. Suppose we had invited tenders from those syndicates which are now experimenting with various inventions, and suppose they had quoted a comparatively low figure, and that I had presented it to the House of Commons, what would hon. Members have said then?\n\nAgreement.\n\nMarconi Company\n\nThey would have said, \"Have you tested this system; do you know that it is capable of carrying out this service which it undertakes to carry out? Have the promoters very much lower terms than the Marconi Company had tendered? Have the engineers and the staff the experience which would enable them to perform properly the contract which the Government has entered into?\" And if those questions were satisfactorily answered I venture to say that the House would blame, and would properly blame, the Government of the day for having entered into a contract with some syndicate or company which had not been able to show to the world that it was capable of carrying on a service of that character.\n\nFor those reasons, and which I have referred, the Committee on 9th August, 1911, decided that it was not desirable that the Government should accept lower terms. For some years they had been carrying on very costly experiments, and during all that time their shareholders had received no profits of any kind, and now, when they had developed their system and made it of real commercial value, they were not prepared to enter into a contract unless they considered it would be remunerative to them.\n\n-3210 168\n\n7 AUGUST 1912\n\nAgreement.\n\ncommittee should be formed, which should go in detail into the cost of erecting stations on the assumption that they were to be erected by the Government and not by the Marconi Company. That technical Committee consisted of six members—three Admiralty experts on wireless telegraphy, one War Office expert, and two Post Office experts. After a minute examination of the whole subject they ultimately reported that, without entering into any question of royalties and dealing only with the cost of the erection of the stations themselves, they estimated that the cost of their erection by the Government would average £60,300 each, excluding, as the Marconi estimate excluded, the sites, but including, which the Marconi estimate did not include, buildings and foundations. On the other hand, while they included the cost of buildings and foundations, they made no allowance for general office charges. Further, these stations were to be simplex or single stations, while the Marconi Company have recently developed a duplex system, which enables wireless telegrams to be sent and received in two directions at once. Their stations were to be duplex stations, and in many respects double those which were contemplated by the Government Committee had Government stations been erected. So that the Marconi Company estimated £60,000 for duplex stations, excluding buildings and foundations, and the technical Sub-committee reported that the cost of Government stations would be £60,300, including buildings and foundations but, being stations of only a simplex character. Therefore it was obvious that so far as the cost of stations was concerned, there was no very great difference either way.\n\nIt was of the Government itself. That offer stated that the price per station would leave them a very small margin of profit and that they depended for their profit, in this enterprise and for recoupment for past work on the sums that might come to them by way of royalty. On that I summoned a further meeting of the Committee on 15th December, 1911, and reported to the Committee that negotiations had resulted in an impasse, and that the company had definitely stated they would not erect stations for lower terms than those which they had finally stated. The Committee at once formed the opinion that the lump sum payment which the company had asked for the user of their patents by the various Departments was too high, an opinion with which the War Office, the Board of Trade, and indeed I entirely concurred, and should not have made myself responsible for the payment of any such sum for such a purpose. And on those lines negotiations with the company were broken off, and it was agreed to drop altogether the question of purchasing the right to use Marconi patents by the various Government Departments, and each Government Department to be left to make what bargain it could, if it desired to do so.\n\nThese negotiations therefore concluded and were abortive. The Committee resolved to negotiate with this company.\n\nMajor ARCHER-SHEE: For how some\n\nIn the autumn of last year there were a series of views with the managing director of the Marconi Company.\n\nCommittee resolved that a technical Sub-Committee should be formed, which should go in detail into the cost of erecting wire-less stations for the Imperial chain.\n\nI myself had interviews.\n\nWe\n\nThere remained the question of royalties. If we used the patents of the Marconi Company, or other patents, we should necessarily have to make a reasonable royalty payment. We could not tell beforehand precisely what it would be, but some payment there would necessarily be.\n\nFurther, the Marconi Company offered to give us the use of all future patents and all future inventions without any further payment beyond the royalties. We thought that the Marconi Company, being now in a sound financial position, were just as likely as anybody else, and probably more likely, to be able either to evolve or to buy future patents or future developments of wireless telegraphy. In addition, the Marconi Company have had now some years' experience", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-392 - Governor Sir May - 1912 [9-10].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 438868, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-392 - Governor Sir May - 1912 [9-10]", "page_number": 181, "title": "CO129-392 - Governor Sir May - 1912 [9-10]", "content_text": "Tele \n\n170 \n\n3218 \n\n0215 \n\nHOUSE OF COMMONS Agreement.\n\nThat \n\nMarconi Company [Mr. Herbert Samuel.] one to Pretoria, and also to India. station will require six aerials. Each of the stations will cover the great area of seventy-five acres.\n\nAs to each of the twin stations which we establish in England, these may have a larger area. My engineers estimate, and the Admiralty engineers also estimate, that the cost of the masts alone will be more than half of the total cost of the stations. These steel masts have to be 300 feet high, and they have to be so constructed as to be able to bear a horizontal strain at the top of two tons. On the average there will be thirty of them, made of steel, and the cost of them per station will, including freight and the cost of erection, average about £32,500. These are not the estimates of the Marconi Company, but the estimates of our own officers.\n\nThe power plant is in all cases to be duplicated, so that these stations will not be put out of action in case one of the engines breaks down. The duplex power plant to be established in the stations—here there is some disagreement among the experts, some saying the cost will be £12,000 and others £15,000 for the power plant—this apparatus will, my officers estimate, cost between £9,000 and £10,000. These three items alone, apart from the aerials, the cost of supervision, and all incidental expenses, are estimated to cost from £53,000 to £57,000.\n\nTherefore, with regard to the cost of the station, £60,000 is not an unreasonable estimate. With regard to the royalty, the master or main patents of the Marconi Company expires in 1914. The company will make an application for renewal, which may or may not be successful. Another patent is the Lodge-Muirhead, which has lately been renewed for the period of, I think, seven years. The company have a number of other patents which will be of extreme value in the conduct of this service, and, as I have already stated, they have some inventions, particularly in relation to duplex working, which I understand, though I am not quite sure, are quite new and which have not yet been patented.\n\nIf the company had asked for no royalty they would certainly have required a very much higher price for the erection of the stations themselves. My own view was that it was better to pay a royalty and a moderate price for the stations than a high price for the stations and no royalty. Because the royalty will maintain the interest of the company in the scheme, and make it worth their while to give us the advantage of every development by the Marconi Company in the sphere of wireless telegraphy.\n\n7 AUGUST 1912\n\nWhat is \n\nMarconi Company scheme, and make it worth their while to give us the advantage of every development by the Marconi Company in the sphere of wireless telegraphy.\n\nThe royalty is to be on gross revenue, not on net, because we are anxious that the Government should retain control of the amount of the rates charged for transmitting telegrams. If we had agreed to pay royalty on net revenue, the company would be entitled to say that the rates should not be reduced without their consent. Further, if we had said the company shall be paid so much on the net revenue, the company would be entitled to say that it would absorb the whole of the profits and that there would be no net revenue, and therefore it would reduce the whole of their royalty if we reduced rates; consequently, as the Government is anxious to retain the entire control of the rates charged in its own hands, the other course was preferred.\n\nOf course, I should greatly have liked to have agreed for the payment of a much lower royalty—10 per cent., and my first offer to the company was a mere fraction of the rate we were in this position, that the company categorically, definitely, and finally informed us that they would not take the erection of the stations for a sum less than that which was ultimately mentioned by the Committee and myself. I should like to make it perfectly clear to the House that the company has not been granted a monopoly. Many statements have been made, or, rather, misapprehensions have arisen in this respect—the company has not been granted a monopoly.\n\nThe use of some better system altogether, to get free of the Marconi patents entirely. We reserve to ourselves the right to discontinue the use of the Marconi system and to introduce any new system we prefer, and the moment we do so the royalty ceases altogether.\n\nWe reserve the right to introduce new inventions that we choose into the working of these stations. If we hear of any improvement which is the property of any syndicate, and we can make terms with that syndicate for the use of that improvement, we are at full liberty to introduce that improvement into our stations. The hon. Member for Launceston mentioned to me that we had, however, undertaken to consult the Marconi Company as to the introduction of these improvements by the company, subject to their advice, and that would mean that no improvements would be introduced, because the owners would not wish them, or would not permit them, to be known to the Marconi Company. That objection, which would be a serious one if it were valid, is not well founded. We do not so read the Clause, and the company have clearly been given to understand that they will not have a right to object.\n\nMajor ARCHER-SHEE: Does not Clause 3 prevent that!\n\nAgreement. be erected by the Marconi Company on the same terms as are laid down in the contract. That is in the contract. It is true that that Clause would debar the Government within the next five years from erecting any additional stations in other places on other systems, and the Clause has been criticised for that reason. Within the last two or three days the Marconi Company have written me a letter in which they say they have observed this criticism, and for their part they have no desire to be protected against the competition of other systems, and they do not attach serious importance to any protection against the competition of other companies. They say:—\n\nMr. HERBERT SAMUEL: No, Clause 3 does not deal with these stations, it deals with any fresh stations that may be erected after the first six. My advisers inform me if, for example, we were to wish to convert the stations later on and to continue the arc system instead of the spark system, if that is found to be more satisfactory, the cost of the conversion would be about one-sixth of the original cost of the stations, and of course it may be worth while to go to that expense in order to get that new system; while to convert it to the Telefunken system, which is another spark system, on the same lines as the Marconi system, would cost much less. Of course, we do not at present contemplate conversion.\n\nThe company is confident of being able to retain its own long-distance wireless telegraphy and does not fear the competition of other companies.\"\n\nNow I come to the five-year limitation to which the hon. Member has referred in Clause 3.\n\nThe company originally pressed for the right to erect all future long-range wireless stations throughout the Empire or any of the eighteen for which they had originally asked licences. That we declined, and as a compromise it was decided that during the next five years after the date of the signature of the contract any fresh long-distance stations forming part of this general scheme should be erected by the Marconi Company on the same terms as are laid down in the contract.\n\nAnd, therefore, they say, if it is thought desirable in the House of Commons that this five-year Clause in the contract should be omitted, on their part they would have no objection. I am naturally glad to accept an offer of that character, because it removes the restriction of limiting the Government, and future discussion of this matter can proceed on the assumption that Clause 3 of the contract is omitted.\n\nMr. MITCHELL-THOMSON: Entirely?\n\nMr. HERBERT SAMUEL: Entirely, and if later on the Government think some other system is better, they may erect long-distance wireless stations in different parts of the Empire on some other system. I confess I am very sceptical that the Government will ever have to avail of that opportunity. I should like, finally, upon this point to say that within the last few days the German Government have entered into a contract for long-distance wireless stations in certain parts of their dominions in the Indian Ocean and Australian seas. Four stations are to be erected. They have not adopted the arc system, but they have adopted the Telefunken system, which is analogous to the Marconi system.\n\nMr. MITCHELL-THOMSON: May I ask the right hon. Gentleman whether that agreement of the German Government with other companies is to be made public?\n\nMr. HERBERT SAMUEL: I believe not. I have the best information, but I have not the actual terms. I have been informed, on authority which I believe is reliable but which I cannot vouch for, that...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-392 - Governor Sir May - 1912 [9-10].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 438869, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-392 - Governor Sir May - 1912 [9-10]", "page_number": 182, "title": "CO129-392 - Governor Sir May - 1912 [9-10]", "content_text": "3219\n\nMarconi Company\n\n[Mr. Herbert Samuel.]\n\nHOUSE OF COMMONS\n\nthe cost per station is considerably more than £60,000 which we pay, but I have no official confirmation of that. The Telefunken Company, which is in very close touch with the German Government, is to receive an annual subsidy which would recoup them for their expenditure, and, in addition, a royalty not of 10 per cent., but of 25 per cent. on the gross receipts. House must, however, remember that the gross receipts in an area such as that are likely to be considerably less than those which we should receive in our stations. However, the fact remains that the German Government is not adopting one of the new systems which several hon. Members have faith in, but are adopting a spark system, and are, I am informed, paying more for their stations than we are paying.\n\nNow I must come to a conclusion, but before doing so I wish to answer a complaint which has been made that the Government have not kept the House sufficiently informed of the conditions and the nature of this contract, and that while the company gave the public information last March, when the preliminary tender was accepted, only recently was the contract laid on the Table. I plead guilty, with no disrespect to the House, in that respect. I could not have acted otherwise. It would have been perfectly impossible for me to impose upon the company last March any pledge of secrecy that when their preliminary tender had been accepted by the Government they should not be at liberty to inform the public at large of that fact.\n\nThe first opportunity that arose of informing the House of the nature of the contract which had been made was when the Post Office Estimates were before the House last May. Then I made a general statement giving to the House practically the same information as the company have given, with certain exceptions. I did not mention the period of the royalty or the conditions on which the contract had been made.\n\nMajor ARCHER-SHEE: It was stated in the \"Evening Standard\" of the 28th of October that the agreement had been signed.\n\nMr. HERBERT SAMUEL: There was no contract then.\n\nMajor ARCHER-SHEE: The \"Evening Standard\" of that date stated that the company had come to terms with the Government.\n\nMr. HERBERT SAMUEL: It is incorrect. We did not come to terms with the company until last March.\n\nMajor ARCHER-SHEE: It was stated in the \"Evening Standard\" of the 28th of October that the Marconi Company Agreement.\n\n7 AUGUST 1912\n\nMr. HERBERT SAMUEL: We had a meeting of the Committee when it was decided that we should erect a station in Hong Kong and possibly one in New Zealand. Later it was erected in West Africa.\n\nEach Government will work and maintain its own stations. The revenue will not be pooled, but will be divided through revenue accounts between various countries.\n\nMajor ARCHER-SHEE: It was stated in an article in the \"Evening Standard\" that the Government would be responsible for what appeared in the \"Evening Standard.\"\n\nMr. HERBERT SAMUEL: You cannot hold the Government responsible for what appears in the \"Evening Standard.\"\n\nMajor ARCHER-SHEE: The terms stated are the same as were made public in the Press as early as October last, and the sum to be spent by the British Government, which will probably amount to £120,000, will be financed from the Post Office Vote, but the various accounts will be charged with interest and sinking fund to the accounts of the Post Office annually.\n\nMr. HERBERT SAMUEL: At the time the company had made their offer, negotiations only began effectively somewhere about October last year, but no conclusion had then been reached. On 7th March the preliminary tender was accepted, and on the same day a statement appeared in the Press which, on the face of it, stated that it had been communicated by the Marconi Company. A statement was made in May in the House. I did not go into details, because I was not anxious to keep the House too long, as I am afraid I have done to-day.\n\nThe British Government will erect and pay for four stations in England, Egypt, subject to the approval of the Egyptian Government; in East Africa, near Nairobi; and in Singapore or in the neighbourhood of Singapore. The Indian Government will erect one station on the Western Coast or not far away from the Western Coast. The South African Government will erect one station in the neighbourhood of Pretoria. The Australian Government has undertaken to erect a station communicating with Singapore, but has not yet decided what contractor to employ or whether to do it itself, or on what terms the station shall be erected.\n\nThe working of the system would be as follows: Telegrams can be forwarded from the Australian station along the Australian land line.\n\nMr. HERBERT SAMUEL: The royalty must necessarily depend upon the amount of traffic and the rates charged. It is only possible for me to give an estimate of the royalty by declaring what are the rates the Government propose to charge, and that I am in a position to do, because I have not consulted the other partners to the agreement.\n\nThis contract is the outcome of two years' work. It is the result of the best advice on these highly technical subjects at the disposal of the Government. I deeply regret that discussion has been postponed for so long; that the exigencies of public business have thrown this statement over to the last day of the Session, and that further delay is inevitable.\n\nThe Committee of Imperial Defence as long ago as May last year expressed the opinion that the stations should be erected as speedily as possible. At the same time the Government quite recognised that on an important matter of this kind it is impossible to press the House to a decision on the last day of the Session, when many hon. Members cannot be in attendance.\n\nIt is calculated that the cost of the whole six stations, allowing payment of capital in eighteen years, by interest and management expenses, will be about £106,000 per annum.\n\nMotion for Adjournment.\n\n3222\n\n171\n\nMr. HERBERT SAMUEL: The revenue must depend upon the rates and upon the amount of traffic handled, but it is impossible to form an estimate of the revenue until we have settled what the rates will be. If we are able to secure enough traffic to enable the stations to be worked for twenty hours a day; if we are able to carry the traffic at a speed of twenty words a minute; if one-third of the traffic is unpaid, that is Government traffic; if one-third is Press traffic, on those terms this system will be remunerative—indeed, quite profitable.\n\nOf course, we are allowing for a considerable reduction of rates, if we are not able to keep the stations employed twenty hours a day, or if any other of these conditions are not fulfilled, then the financial results will be modified accordingly.\n\nBut even if they are not remunerative, the Government think it desirable to erect the stations if only for strategic reasons.\n\nMr. GEORGE TERRELL: Can the right hon. Gentleman state what the estimated royalty will be? I think he has some figures.\n\nLord BALCARRES: I thank the right hon. Gentleman for his statement, and in accordance with what he has just said, I beg leave to move, \"That the Debate be now adjourned.\"\n\nDebate adjourned; to be resumed upon Monday, 7th October.\n\nADJOURNMENT (WINTER SITTINGS)\n\nMotion made and Question proposed, \"That this House, at its rising this day, do adjourn until Monday, 7th October.\"—[The Prime Minister.]\n\nBRUSSELS SUGAR CONVENTION\n\nMr. MITCHELL-THOMSON: I desire to take this opportunity of calling the attention of the House to the action which His Majesty's Government have intimated they are going to take before the 1st September next with regard to the Brussels Sugar Convention. Last Thursday the Government announced they intended to give notice to terminate the Convention before 1st September. That statement was received with considerable applause from hon.

RETURN of Opium used by the Macao Farmer from July 1, 1911, to June 30, 1912.\n\n| | Chests |\n|-------------|--------|\n| Local consumption of Macao- July 1911 to June 30, 1912 (approximately) | 461 |\n| Export to Mexico of prepared opium- July 1, 1911, to June 30, 1912 (approximately) | 344 |\n| Total | 805 |\n\n**(Confidential.)**\n\nDURING the second half of 1911 an official telegram was sent from Sir Frederick Lugard, Governor of Hong Kong, to Mr. Harcourt stating that Macao's requirements amounted to 120 chests of opium per annum. This telegram is reproduced in the Foreign Office reprints on opium, and can be verified by a reference to such papers (the date was, I think, August or September). It may be presumed that these figures are based on good authority, and are good until rebutted satisfactorily by the Macao Government.\n\n2. Striking confirmation of this was obtained from an independent source. At the beginning of this year the chief clerk in the bankruptcy office, Singapore, a Chinese named Lee Ah Sik, proceeded to Hong Kong and Canton on leave. This man is an old and valued servant of Government, and was my chief clerk for the two years I was in charge of the bankruptcy office (April 1907-March 1909). His brother in Hong Kong is the secret agent of the Monopolies Department, Singapore, and was formerly connected with the Hong Kong farm.\n\nBefore Lee Ah Sik left for China without saying what information I had concerning Macao, I requested him to go to Macao and make certain enquiries, and I gave him certain written questions to answer. In due course he sent me a letter. From enquiries he had made on the spot he informed me that Macao's requirements were ten to twelve chests per month; that large quantities of half-cooked opium were smuggled into the Canton delta; that interested parties had chartered the steam-ship \"Johanne\" to take direct shipments of opium from Singapore to Macao; that there was evidence of any shipments to South America, and that the local selling price of chandu (prepared opium) was considerably above what it was in 1909 (1·80 dollars per tahil in 1909).\n\nAs soon as I received this information I forwarded it on to the Colonial Secretary for the information of his Excellency the governor.\n\nWhen I left Singapore in March 1912, Lee Ah Sik had not returned from leave, so I was unable to question him further.\n\n3. Now, as to the statement by Macao that their monthly consumption in 1909 was thirty-eight chests.\n\nOn p. 323 of the Shanghai Opium Commission report the Portuguese delegates stated:-- \"Taking 100,000 individuals as forming the Chinese population of Macao, Teripu, and Colowan, the number of smokers does not come to 5 per cent. of the number of inhabitants.\" On the same page it is stated that the price of prepared opium at that time (1909) was 1·80 per tahil, and the daily average consumption of opium (i.e., chandu) per smoker is 2 mace daily. (10 hoons = 1 mace or 1 chee; 10 chees = 1 tahil.)\n\nTherefore at the most the number of local smokers was 5,000. Assuming each smoked 2 mace or chees, we get total daily consumption equals 1,000 tahils, or, in a month of thirty days, 30,000 tahils.\n\nOn p. 322 it is stated each ball of opium produced 216 tahils of opium ready for consumption. As there are forty balls in a chest, each chest therefore produces 40 × 21·6 = 864 tahils.\n\nTherefore the monthly local consumption in 1908-9 was `30000/864` = 34 odd chests— according to the Portuguese delegates themselves.\n\nThe above figures are open to serious objection.\n\nIn the first place, I am unable to agree that the daily average of the Macao opium smoker is 2 mace. Anyone who smoked this quantity daily would be regarded as distinctly a heavy smoker.\n\nOn p. 8 of the Shanghai report the United States of America delegates designate a man who smokes 2 mace per day as a \"heavy smoker,\" and they state that only 10 per cent. of the opium smokers in the United States of America smoked that much. Therefore it cannot be correct on the part of the Portuguese delegate to assume that each opium smoker smokes 2 mace or 2 chees per day. Some may, but it can only be a small percentage.\n\nAgain, on p. 322 the Portuguese delegate states a ball of opium produces only 216 tahils of chandu. The experience of the Singapore farmers and of the Monopoly Department is that it produces about 27 tahils. At this rate 30,000 tahils per month represents twenty-seven chests per month for local consumption.\n\nFurther, at the time of the Shanghai Commission, the Portuguese delegate stated that the price of prepared opium was 1·80 dollar per tahil. It is well known that the selling price is now considerably higher. This of itself would still further reduce the monthly requirements, especially when it is considered that the trade of Macao is stagnant and the coolies would not be in a position to stand an increase in price so well as coolies in the Straits, where wages are good and trade brisk.\n\nOn the above grounds it does not appear to me far wrong to state that the local requirements are now not more than twenty chests per month. This, coupled with Sir F. Lugard's statement that ten were sufficient, accounts for the statement that fifteen chests per month is a fair estimate.\n\n4. Now as to their export trade.\n\nAgain, quoting the Portuguese delegate on p. 321 :— \"The exportation of raw opium is exclusively made to Chinese ports and the exportation of prepared opium has been made to California and Australia, \"but the trade with the latter ceased in the year 1905.\"\n\nSince the agreement with China signed in May 1911, none but certificated chests can enter China, and, as all the opium recently bought by Macao direct from Singapore and Calcutta was uncertificated, not a single chest of this latter kind could legitimately enter China.\n\nTherefore there is not now any legitimate export trade in raw uncertificated opium between Macao and China.\n\nThere remains the trade in prepared opium with California.\n\nAt the bottom of p. 20 the United States of America delegate reports (February 1909): \"A few days ago our Congress, in response to the new light thrown on our home opium question, has passed a Bill of which following is a summary: Section 1: After the 1st April, 1909 (N.B.-Shanghai Commission finished its sittings on the 26th February, 1909), it shall be unlawful to import into the United States of America opium in any form, or any preparations or derivatives thereof, except that opium and preparations thereof, other than smoking or opium prepared for smoking, may be imported for medicinal purposes only.\"\n\nAgain, on p. 323 it is stated by Portuguese delegate \"As already stated, the exportation of prepared opium to foreign ports is now made exclusively to California.\"\n\nTherefore, when importation into California was prohibited on the 1st April, 1909, on the showing of the Portuguese delegates themselves, the export trade in prepared opium would cease to exist.\n\nOn p. 322 Portuguese delegates stated: \"The exportation of opium prepared in Macao not possible in consequence of the prepared drug being heavily taxed by the large contribution made by the Syndicate to the Macao Government, and it cannot therefore compete with the native prepared opium.\"\n\nWe therefore get the following result: Raw export trade of uncertificated opium with China ceased; export trade in prepared opium also at an end since prohibition law in United States of America.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-396 - Public Offices - 1912.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 441218, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-396 - Public Offices - 1912", "page_number": 554, "title": "CO129-396 - Public Offices - 1912", "content_text": "## House of Commons\nDate: 12 March 1912\n\nPrevious Paper: 117 10/14/10, 1711/72, Parl 6858\n\nOpium Traffic\n\n**REC REGE**\n\n6858\n548\n\n## Notice of Motion\n124.

A foreign representative of the Company called repeatedly at the office of the Director of the Bureau of Industry, and asked for copies of the Regulations but only obtained them after much trouble and solicitation on the 2nd of August. About seventy applications for mining permits were sent in by various Chinese, some were refused, and some not answered at all.\n\nSo far as can be ascertained no proclamation was ever posted overt at West River Quarries. The first act being the seizure of two junks with stone at Samshui, and this we are informed by the Commissioner of Customs at Samshui was done as the result of a circular from Customs Board at Canton dated the 23rd of July stating that the export of gold, silver, metals and minerals, also limestone, granite and similar stones is prohibited unless the cargo is accompanied by a Yuen Chow issued by the Board of Industry at Canton.\n\nOne of the lessees of a quarry that has supplied us made a statement as follows: -\n\n\"On the 31st of August the Commissioner of Industry sent a deputy named Kong Po in company with the Tung On Magistrate, Lo So han, and some soldiers to arrest him (the lessee, named Kwok Pui Chee), and seize all stone say over 10,000,000 catties which had been bought by Shun Yick (a trading name of the above Kwok Pui Chee) (Contractor to this Company), and stored at Luk To in the Tung On district.\n\n\"On the 20th of October two shipments, and during November ten shipments of the above stone were towed away in Government boats to the Cement Factory at Canton\".\n\nPui Chee's partner named Chan Chee adds that two junks laden with stone were also towed away from How Lick Lekin Station (where they had been detained) to Canton, and their cargoes landed at the Canton Cement Works without anything being paid to the owners of the stone or to the Junk masters.\n\nIn the meantime Kwok Pui Chee was still in prison, and on the 4th of December the Commissioner of Industry sanctioned an investigation.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-399 - Governor Sir May - 1913 [1-2].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 442081, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-399 - Governor Sir May - 1913 [1-2]", "page_number": 208, "title": "CO129-399 - Governor Sir May - 1913 [1-2]", "content_text": "## ACCUBU 3« Vrojesi 31.mm0 end od*\n\n207 \n\nHI JUU Qu 9 \n\nAn investigation into the case which resulted in a verdict of not guilty being given by the Tung On Magistrate on the 7th December when Kwok Pui Chee was released. In short, this man was kept in prison for over three months, and 20% of the stone lying at Luk To was removed by force before the case was investigated, and a decision given.\n\nSo far as the Company could learn, the quarrying and the sale of limestone to the local lime kilns on the West River were allowed to go on as usual after the alleged issue of the Mining Regulations, and it was only when stone was loaded into junks destined for Hongkong that difficulties were made by the authorities.\n\nMoreover, the cargoes of fifteen junks loaded with stone, and stopped by the Authorities, were all disposed of by our Contractors to local lime burners in order to free the junks. No objection was made to this, although the Mining Regulations are supposed to apply to all quarrying of limestone, whether for export or not. It is obvious that the action of the Government was solely with the object of preventing supplies from reaching Hongkong.\n\nAs regards the North River, five junks laden with stone for Hongkong were seized at Canton, although the Commissioner of Customs had granted a clearance because all the necessary receipts for lekin had been produced to him. The Government had therefore actually levied lekin &c. on the stone and then seized it when it was about to be exported to Hongkong.\n\nThis stone in these five junks was seized and turned over to the Canton Cement Works. This is only one of the incidents proving that the Government's main object is to aid its own factory to the detriment of the Green Island Cement Company Limited.\n\nOn several occasions, the Company has been approached by Chinese (who pretended to be intermediaries on behalf of the Canton Government), who have said that, provided the Company would loan the Canton Government about $1,500,000, a supply of limestone would be assured to them at a price of $2.90 to $3.00 per ton under a contract for a number of years. The principal security offered for the loan was to be...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-399 - Governor Sir May - 1913 [1-2].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 442876, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-400 - Governor Sir May - 1913 [3-4]", "page_number": 444, "title": "CO129-400 - Governor Sir May - 1913 [3-4]", "content_text": "## CONFIDENTIAL\n\nGOVERNMENT HOUSE, \nHONGKONG, 26th April, 1913.\n\nReferring to previous correspondence ending with my Despatch, **Confidential**, of 20th January on the subject of the stoppage of the supply of limestone to the Green Island Cement Company, I have the honour to transmit for your information copies of the later correspondence on the subject noted in the margin terminating with the presentation of the heavy claim made by the Green Island Cement Company against the Chinese Government, which has been made by His Majesty's Consul-General acting under instructions from His Majesty's Minister at Peking.\n\n2. The statement made by Pui Chee to Mr. Tomes, the senior partner in Messrs. Shewan, Tomes and Company, who are General Managers of the Green Island Cement Company, furnishes further evidence of the real object of the Canton Authorities in placing an embargo on the export of limestone. I would also draw your attention to the newspaper extract which forms an enclosure to the Vice-Consul's Memorandum of the 11th of March wherein the motive of protecting the Canton Cement Works is again disclosed.\n\n3. The situation is a very serious one. In consequence of the failure of supplies of limestone the Company's factory at Macao has been closed since the middle of last November; and half of its factory at Hongkong has been closed for several months. The Company has only been able to keep the other half at work.\n\nI have large intuents. I for one suggest that the action on the part of the CAMG to enforce the payment of the claim and compensation for the future is necessary. Unfortunately, he has no satisfaction as to the drastic action except by retaliation by prohibiting or taxing importation of the Chekang cement. I can't say that I like the prospect any more than the others, but if other means fail, it looks as if we shall have to try it. The trouble is that if we do, the Chinese might retaliate in their turn, and Hong Kong industry might suffer.\n\nI fear that they will have the last word. We had better act on what the Governor's satisfaction is. I await their news on the Governor's satisfaction. `JR23/5/13`.\n\n### Marginal Notes\n| Reference | Note |\n| --- | --- |\n| 47.0. | Copy |\n| os. 1 to 15. | |\n| sir. | |\n| 7203 | |\n| C.O | 437 |\n| 17020 | Rece |\n| REG! | 19 MAY 13 |\n\n### Other Notes\n- Can't be considered seriously.\n- Retaliation by Hong Kong on China is pour rire! `22.5.13`\n- `D.27.5.13`\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE \nLEWIS HARCOURT, M.P., \n&c., &c., &c.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-400 - Governor Sir May - 1913 [3-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 442928, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-400 - Governor Sir May - 1913 [3-4]", "page_number": 496, "title": "CO129-400 - Governor Sir May - 1913 [3-4]", "content_text": "## Statement by Pui Chee, Limestone Quarry Owner at Tong On, West River\n\nRead at Meeting of Directors on 26th March, 1913.\n\nSunday, March 23rd, 1913.\n\n489 Shewan Tomes and Company's Office.\n\nMr. Pui Chee, apparently senior partner in the firm \"Shun Yick\" with whom the Company has had stone contracts, and who are also coopers for the factories, came to the office and in an interview with him, Mr. Hon Tsz being present, as well as the man we call Chan Chee, the following information was obtained:-\n\nAs far as Mr. Pui Chee's knowledge went, no limestone was at present being cut at any place in Kwangtung except at Fah Yuen and at the Fei Shu quarry for account of the Kwangtung Cement Factory only. No stone at all was being quarried at Tung On, Mr. Pui Chee's native place on the West River. This prefectural town is situated 6 miles from the quarry and is near Shui Hing on the River.\n\nMr. Pui Chee headed a delegation of quarry owners that waited upon Mr. Kwan, the Commissioner of Industry, on Monday last, the 17th instant, when it was represented to Mr. Kwan the great hardship that was prevailing as regards the limestone quarries, and they applied to him again for the issue of the necessary permits to work. They apparently got nothing satisfactory out of Mr. Kwan beyond that he would look carefully again into the matter, and he intimated that the permits might be granted on condition that a promise was made that the quarry would not sell stone for export until Mr. Kwan was satisfied as to the proper action in the meantime, in accordance with Article 12 of the Mining Law Regulations.\n\nMr. Pui Chee informed us that of the 8,000 tons of stone he had lying on the River bank ready for us, the Government had taken away about 7,000 tons leaving 1,000 tons, and that no money whatever had been paid for what was taken.\n\nOn being asked about the position of the junk men, he reported that they were doing nothing, and there were about 400 stone junks lying idle.

The last preceding condition as to provisions shall be deemed to have been complied with in any case where, by the special authority of the Emigration Officer, any other articles of food have been substituted for the articles enumerated in the foregoing scale, as being equivalent thereto; and \n\n(3.) the emigrants may supply their own provisions for the voyage, and proper accommodation for the stowage and sufficient cabooses for the cooking of such provisions must be allowed.\n\n### Grant of Certificate\n\n8. The Emigration Officer shall not give his certificate unless he is satisfied:\n(1.) that the ship is seaworthy, clean, and properly manned, equipped, fitted, lighted, and ventilated, and has not on board any cargo likely, from its quality, or mode of stowage, to prejudice the health or safety of the emigrants;\n(2.) that suitable medicines and medical stores, provisions, fuel, and water have been placed on board, of good quality, properly packed, and sufficient in quantity to supply the emigrants on board during the intended voyage;\n(3.) that all the requirements of the Asiatic Emigration Ordinance, 191[4], have been complied with; and\n(4.) that the intending emigrants who are males under the age of 16 years or females have been passed by the Secretary for Chinese Affairs.\n\n### Power of Emigration Officer\n\n9. The Emigration Officer may at any time enter and inspect the ship and the accommodation, provisions, and stores provided for the emigrants and may require the master or any other person to produce the licence and the ship's papers for his inspection, and, if he thinks necessary after inspecting the ship's papers, he may muster and inspect the emigrants.\n\n### Detention of Ship\n\n10. The Emigration Officer may in all cases if any of the emigrants are in bad health or insufficiently provided with clothing, or if there is reason to suspect that fraud or violence has been practised in their collection or embarkation, detain the ship, and, if he thinks fit, order all or any of the emigrants to be re-landed.\n\n### Power to Employ Professional Persons\n\n11. The Emigration Officer may, if he thinks fit, before granting his certificate, employ any duly qualified medical practitioner, master mariner, marine surveyor, or other person whose professional assistance and advice he may require for the purpose of ascertaining whether the requirements of the Asiatic Emigration Ordinance, 191[4], have been duly complied with, and the costs and charges of obtaining such assistance and advice shall be defrayed by the owners or charterers of the ship, whether the Emigration Officer grants his certificate or not.\n\n### Fees of Professional Persons\n\n12. The Governor-in-Council shall from time to time fix a reasonable scale of fees and charges, to be approved by one of His Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State, for the remuneration of any professional persons who may be employed under the last preceding Regulation, and, pending the approval or disapproval of such scale, the fees and charges therein specified shall be payable, as if the same had been approved in manner aforesaid.\n\n### Fees of Emigration Officer\n\n13. The owners or charterers of every ship shall pay such fees for the remuneration of the Emigration Officer as may, from time to time, be ordered under instructions from one of His Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State, and, until and subject to such instructions, the following fees shall be payable in addition to all fees and charges payable under the last preceding Regulation —\n1. upon every application for a certificate: $25. Provided that for an Emigration Officer's certificate delivered at a 2nd port on the same voyage for a ship which has already received a certificate at the first port the fee shall be only $12.50. Provided, also, always that no fees shall be payable to the Emigration Officer of this Colony, but in lieu thereof the following stamp duties are hereby imposed, that is to say:\n | Fee Type | Stamp Duty |\n | --- | --- |\n | upon every application for a certificate under Regulation 2 | $1 |\n | upon every certificate granted under Regulation 1 | $1 |\n\nAnd any Ordinance for the time being in force relating to stamps shall be read as if the stamp duties hereby imposed were inserted in the schedule thereof.\n\n### Power to Detain Ship for Non-payment of Fees\n\n14. In case default is made by the owners or charterers of the ship in the payment of any fees, costs, or charges to which they may be liable under the Asiatic Emigration Ordinance, 191[4], and these Regulations, the ship may be detained by the British Consul, or if in this Colony by the Governor, until such fees, costs, and charges shall have been paid.\n\n### Withholding or Revoking Certificate\n\n15. The Emigration Officer may withhold his certificate or revoke the same at any time before the departure of the ship, if it appears to his satisfaction that any particulars contained in the application in writing which has been made for the same, or any other particulars which may have been furnished to him by or on behalf of the owners, charterers, or master of the ship in relation thereto, are untrue, or that the requirements of the Asiatic Emigration Ordinance, 1914, have not been complied with; and in every such case, it shall be lawful for the British Consul, or if in this Colony for the Governor, to seize and detain the ship until the certificate, if already granted, has been delivered up to be cancelled.\n\n### Treatment of Emigrants on Board Ship\n\n16. The master of every such British emigrant ship being a British ship as defined by the sail Ordinance shall, during the whole of the intended voyage, make issues of provisions, fuel, and water, according to the aforesaid scale, to all emigrants on board except such as have applied themselves therewith, and shall not make any alteration, except for the manifest advantage of the emigrants, in respect of the space allotted to them as aforesaid or in respect of the means of ventilation, and shall not ill-use the emigrants or require them (except in case of necessity) to help in working the ship; and shall issue medicines and medical comforts, as may be requisite; and shall call at such ports as may be mentioned in the Emigration Officer's clearing certificate for fresh water and other necessaries; and shall carry the emigrants without unnecessary delay to the destination to which they are bound.\n\n### Mustering of Emigrants by Master\n\n17. Before the arrival of any such British ship at the port for which the emigrants have embarked, the master shall cause the emigrants to be mustered for the purpose of ascertaining that there are none on board who are not in possession of an emigration passage ticket and included in the Emigration Officer's certificate and detailed list of emigrants; if any such are found, it shall be the duty of the master to hand them over to the proper authority to be dealt with according to law.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-422 - Governor Sir May - 1915 [5-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 453846, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-422 - Governor Sir May - 1915 [5-6]", "page_number": 60, "title": "CO129-422 - Governor Sir May - 1915 [5-6]", "content_text": "## REGULATIONS RESPECTING SHIPS UNDER LICENCE ON LONG VOYAGES\n\n1.

The Emigration Officer may at any time enter Emigration and inspect the ship and the accommodation, provisions, and stores provided for the emigrants and may require the master or any other person to produce the licence and the ship's papers for his inspection, and, if he thinks necessary after inspecting the ship's papers, he may muster and inspect the emigrants.\n\n(2.) If in any such case the Emigration Officer discovers that the number of emigrants on board or intended to be carried upon that voyage exceeds the number authorized by the licence, or that any condition of the licence or any of these Regulations has been broken, he may detain the ship until the emigrants in excess of the legal number are landed or until the condition of the licence or the regulation in question is fully complied with, and he shall forthwith report the circumstances to the Governor.\n\n6. The master of every British ship shall, on demand, produce his emigration papers to the British Consul at any port to which the licence extends, or, in case such port is in His Majesty's Dominions, to any officer appointed or authorized by the local Government in that behalf.\n\n7. All emigrant ships must be provided with boats and life-saving appliances in accordance with the provisions of Table \"A\" of the Merchant Shipping Ordinance, 1899, as if they were sea-going ships having passenger certificates under section 10 of the said Ordinance, and every emigrant ship shall carry a fire engine or force pump with sufficient hose to reach fore and aft and at least three dozen fire buckets.\n\nPage 60 \nPage 61", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-422 - Governor Sir May - 1915 [5-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 454738, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-423 - Governor Sir May - 1915 [7-8]", "page_number": 131, "title": "CO129-423 - Governor Sir May - 1915 [7-8]", "content_text": "# Enclosure 1\n128 08650 \nHongkong, lat.

Superintendent of Police.\n\nSir,\n\n**REGE 20 AUG 15**\n\nThe undersigned members of the Indian Police, respectfully beg to petition you as follows, and humbly hope that it will receive your gracious consideration.\n\n1. Ration allowance. The ration allowance of one dollar allotted to each of us dates from the year 1896. At that time a dollar could buy 10 catties of chicken or 25 catties of Indian flour or 5 catties of ghee or 1,200 catties of firewood or 10 catties of sugar. At present the same amount could purchase only 2 catties of chicken or 11 catties of Indian flour or 1 catty of ghee or 100 catties of firewood or 6 catties of sugar. We therefore humbly pray that you would see your way to increase our ration allowance after the present war in which our Empire is involved.\n\n2. Promotion. We also pray that our promotions be placed on the same footing as those of the European section of the Police Force. At present when we are promoted to the rank of Lance-Sergeant or Colour Sergeant, we start with third class, then second class, and finally first class. We pray that these classes may be abolished, and that we may be allowed to become first class Lance-Sergeants and Colour Sergeants in the same way as the European members of the Police.\n\n3. Pension. We respectfully pray that we may be allowed to retire from the service on pension on the completion of 15 years service without the age limit of 45 years.\n\n4. Passage Tickets. We also pray that our passage tickets to India on furlough be paid both ways instead of only one way. This double passage grant is extended to the members of the Hongkong and Singapore Battalion R.G.A.\n\n5. Leave of absence. We also pray that our present leave of 6 months on furlough may be increased to 8 months, as we find that the six months, which include travelling, are too short for us to transact our business in India.\n\nWe are, etc., \n(Here follow 180 signatures.)", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-423 - Governor Sir May - 1915 [7-8].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 454881, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-423 - Governor Sir May - 1915 [7-8]", "page_number": 274, "title": "CO129-423 - Governor Sir May - 1915 [7-8]", "content_text": "# \nGoo Jel Amay \n1915 \n27 Sep \n\nLast previous Paper.\n\nme \n32580 \nCopy RATS, Chee \nCons & Aug, \nInew? 216 13th Aug! 36358 \nJeni \nBuyers.\n\nHONG KONG \n34597 \n34597 \nRed 27 JUL 15 \n\nshipped to Marseilles Without permission \nnot knowing \n270 \nAgent \narrangement totage previous \nDagens blotting \nto discharge at Marseilles \n\nThe \nbranch \nharee \naccount \nwh \n\n## \nKong \nGov. \nof \n* to \nLondon \naction \nwhy. \nthery \nthat \nwhy \nwinter \nbranch \ntook \nRubber \nExports Committee \nto the \nMitsui \nJare \nim \n32580 \nim \nthrow \nletter \nemlored \nto \n\nThe \nnext \nthing \n40 \nfind \nto \naut \nwking \nMentons \ntelegraphed \nshifes \nMarseilles \nagamt \nat \nMarreilles \nDischarge \nas \ncopy of \nth \n\nNext subsequent Paper.\n\nto \nRubber \nExports \n36358° \nthat they \nfirst \n32580 * \nCommittee \nash \ntel \nest \nMentors \nto (8,195) $1,095–11. 45,000. 12/18.

In the petition allegations of fraud and misappropriation of funds were made against two of the directors, and argument upon the question of whether the court could regard these allegations occupied the court on Thursday and Friday and part of yesterday, when the Chief Justice decided that they are admissible. The hearing of the petition is expected to last three weeks.\n\nThe petition was filed by Sun Fat Shan, a merchant residing in China and a shareholder in the company, and was supported by a number of shareholders. The respondent was the Yue Hing Co., Ltd., and notice of opposition was also filed by Lee Hyeo, Ma Chee Lung and a number of shareholders who claimed to represent nearly half the total share capital of the company.\n\nMr. Duncan McNeill (Shanghai) and Mr. F. C. Jonkin appeared for the petitioners on the instructions of Mr. Crew (Messrs. Hastings and Hastings); and Mr. C. G. Alabaster and Mr. Eldon Potter (instructed by Mr. Beavis of Messrs. Wilkinson & Grist) for the respondent company. Mr. Potter also represented Lee Hyeo and Ma Chee Lung, the directors against whom the allegations are made.\n\nMr. Alabaster informed his Lordship this morning that since the issue of the new advertisement giving notice of the petition four further shareholders, holding 80 shares, had given notice to oppose the petition; and he now represented the holders of 1080 shares which was more than half the shares of the company.\n\nMr. McNeill opened the case for the petitioners, and devoted the whole of the hearing to directing his Lordship's attention to the affidavits and declarations. Dealing with petitioners' allegation that the minute books of the company had been faked by certain directors entering minutes of meetings of the company which, he submitted, were never held, he said that all the declarations filed would be supported by the evidence of witnesses who could be cross-examined. Certain of the petitioning directors (whose names he mentioned) had filed declarations to the effect that since the incorporation of the company no statutory meetings of shareholders were ever held, nor was any report ever filed with the Registrar of Companies as required by law.\n\nCourt proceedings...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-425 - Governor Sir May - 1915 [10-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 456914, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-426 - Public Offices - 1915", "page_number": 230, "title": "CO129-426 - Public Offices - 1915", "content_text": "List of persons born in Hongkong of Chinese parents registered at His Britannic Majesty's Consulate, Swatow.\n\nI\n\nRegistered on authority of Hongkong British born certificate\n\n \n Name\n Form\n Audit No\n Date\n \n \n Ma Lap (Ma Chan Shut)\n c.s.11\n 21\n 27/8/08\n \n \n Chau Ngau-tsz (Chau Ngau Yee)\n A 100 b\n 0.8.11\n 11\n 23/6/06\n \n \n Wong Sum\n c.s.11\n 8/3/09\n A 100 b\n 22/11/98\n \n \n Ma Tsan Sin (Ma Chan Wang)\n c.9.11\n 27\n 5/10/08\n \n \n Ka Chan Wang (Ma Man Cheung)\n \n \n \n \n \n U Hung Pan (U Pui Yan)\n \n \n \n \n \n Li U Tin\n \n \n \n \n\nII\n\nRegistered on authority of Passport from British Consulate Bangkok.\n\n \n Name\n Parent\n Born\n Passport No.\n Address\n \n \n Fa Ngeu Sin\n \n 8.

The facts were that a native detective, 10, 20, at 3.30 on Saturday afternoon, acting on information received, arrested two wheelbarrow coolies and took them to the Tarbia Road Police Station with their wheelbarrows, the latter being loaded with what were apparently planks of wood. The planks were found to contain flat sealed tin boxes which, on being opened, were found to contain pistols and ammunition. There were altogether 22 tins found in the possession of the coolies.\n\nDet.-Sergt. Fage, Mr. Newman continued, would tell the court that he questioned the coolies, and as a result went to the house of one Ng Shee-ping, one of the defendants - and he stated that the tin boxes were the property of his nephew, another defendant, Ng - and the nephew were taken into custody. The third defendant, Tsong Tek-dau, was arrested at 50, 804 Yeochang Road. A search of the house was made and 50 tins of pistols and ammunition were found under the bed. Altogether about 130 pistols were found, and about 20,000 rounds of ammunition. The prisoners were interviewed, and Tsong stated that, in this particular instance, he was employed by a German named Nielsen. He said that both he and Nielsen had been employed by the German firm of Arrels, Borner at 27 Kiangse Road, but that he (the Chinese prisoner) had left that firm and had been trying to get another position.\n\nHe said that on the 21st September he met Nielsen on Kiangse Road and Nielsen asked him if he knew anyone who would be willing to take a consignment of medicine, or \"something\", to a foreign country. The \"medicine\" was duly delivered to the prisoner's house, and he employed a carpenter and was told it was to pack it in this peculiar way - in between two planks.\n\nThe Assesssor - By whom was he told?\n\nMr. Newman - By Nielsen. In addition to these planks I may say we have a desk at the police station which has got a false bottom.\n\n...\n\n \n0", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-429 - Public Offices & Others - 1915.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 458929, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-429 - Public Offices & Others - 1915", "page_number": 490, "title": "CO129-429 - Public Offices & Others - 1915", "content_text": "Page 488\n\ncontinued.\n\nPress dated October 23rd 1915.\n\nJUAN RODRIGUES.\n\nsent again before.\n\nsent to bribe Mr.\n\ninteresting exposures.\n\n▲ stevedore, two shopkeepers, and two coolies were brought up on remand in the Mixed Court yesterday, before Mr. Grant Jones, British Assessor, and Magistrate Yu, charged with keeping, for military purposes, 129 pistols and 20,830 rounds of ammunition at No. 804 Weihaiwei Road.\n\nMr. H.H.

Although these brethren had a brief stay say 3 or 4 months, their illustrious lectures had affected the brethren's heart to a great extent, and the prosperity of Ghadar increased to tenfold. The Ghadar was issued in Hindi afterwards. Seditious books were published. With the advancement of the 20th Century the patriotism of Indians had increased more and more and the work was carried on with the greatest enthusiasm than before.\n\nBesides Urdu, Gurmukhi, Gujrati and Hindi dialects the Ghadar was issued in Pushto and Gorkha dialects as well. A book was published in the Bengali Bhasha (dialect).\n\nOne lac (one hundred thousand) seditious proclamations were published besides the Ghadar. 60 volumes of books were issued and it is a marvellous thing that all these were done by a second-hand old machine. Printing, circulation, and all other departments were established on a great new scientific system and this was all the reason of advancement that within a short time a big task was accomplished with a small capital by the help of the patriots which is marvellous in the history of India. This kind of work could not be traced in any history of the world. The valuable seditious articles and books are being distributed free. The poor artisans spend their well-cared savings in this good work. The poor patriots work free day and night.\n\nBrethren, See the Star of Ghadar is shining on your head; but Sepoys of Ghadar it has not reached the Zenith yet. You have done much work and there is still more to be done. As long as you do not reach your destination it will not be fit for the sepoys of Ghadar to stop sleep or slow down.\n\nGhadar is now merely a child of 2 years. He has just stepped into the third year.

The press has cried hoarse for such legislation, and it is but right and proper that the national assembly should register the will of the nation. The obstinate perversity of the Colonies has fully roused the nation to a sense of its humiliation; and men, women and children are smarting under the indignities heaped upon them by the un-British conduct of Colonials. Nevertheless, we prefer that the action of the national assembly and that of the Government should be defensive and not retaliatory. After all, the Colonials are also British subjects. It is a most painful spectacle that one part of the British Empire should retaliate against another. But we are free to adopt the policy of the Colonies to defend our internal interests. Why, for instance, should we permit the emigration of Indian labor for the benefit of alien capitalists? We want the manhood of India for the development of India, and we must set our face against all forms of emigration, whether \"indentured\" or not. That should be the first and foremost duty of the Congress and of the Government. We are at present not only depleting our labor reserve, but are inflicting upon a number of our countrymen the greatest of injuries imaginable. By allowing them to submit to the treatment of the Colonies we are letting them humiliate themselves.\n\nSecondly, as regards the language test and productive duties, the practical difficulties are great unless the Government can be induced to undertake them purely as retaliatory measures. That India cannot erect a colour bar as the Colonies are doing must be clear to the commonest understanding. But at the same time we have as much right as the Colonies to exclude those who compete with us unfairly or whose presence here we consider undesirable. It would be remembered that only the other day the new Governor of Madras, Sir Thomas Gibson Carmichael, said that the spirit of the British statesman was to give every encouragement to \"our fellow-subjects,\" meaning Indians, \"wherever they are, to develop to the full the resources of their own portion of the empire, to make the fullest use of their abilities and talents in the development of that part.\" If this is the spirit of British statesmen, it must be possible for the Government of India to exclude unfair competition from all outsiders, particularly Colonial subjects, natural-born or domiciled, in activities which should be reserved for the sons of the soil.—*Indian Opinion*, Natal.\n\n## LAW-MAKING EXTRAORDINARY\n\nA Hindu asked a friend of ours to write to Messrs. Thos. Cook & Son, the well-known passenger agents at Calcutta, for a son of his to be brought into this country for studying in a college in Canada. The reply which we print below is very interesting:\n\nDear Sir:-\n\nWe are in receipt of your favor of the 12th ult., and in reply beg to state that if the young man whose passage to British Columbia you wish us to arrange is an Indian, we regret we cannot undertake same owing to the very strict immigration laws which have been passed recently. There is no direct steamer service to Canada from here, and it is therefore impossible for us to issue a through ticket as required by the immigration law. If, however, the young man is European, we shall be pleased to arrange his passage, the second-class fare from Calcutta to Vancouver by Apcar line to Hongkong, thence per Nippon Yusen Kaisha to Victoria being Rs 515- or £34:6:8. These services are fortnightly and monthly respectively.\n\nYours faithfully,\n(Signed) THOS. COOK & SON.\n\n## THE GOSPEL OF GURU NANAK\n\n(Continued from Inside Front Cover.)\n\n\"Wash your mind rather than the stone images,\"\n\nHere then is the summing up of the teachings of Guru Nanak. Love God and love the God in man. Love God and show forth your love to Him by loving those who come in contact with you. Our nation needs this Gospel: it is the gospel which binds together, unifies, harmonizes, makes for peace and love; it is the gospel of harmony, of good-will to all and hatred to none, the gospel of peace. We stand on the threshold of a New Age which is destined to witness important reconstruction in world relations. Shall India play her part in these reconstructions? Then must you, young men, and to you, young men, my words are especially addressed—keep alive the sense of the Unseen. Remember the piteous need of our civilization is God-realization. Remember our urgent need is the restoration of our spiritual perspective. Remember no civilization can endure without religion. And may weary hopes try to realize the happy day when the present decay of religious desire shall give way to rational Faith, when the sense of social injustice shall assert itself, when life beyond this life shall be discerned as the dominant idea of thought and deed, when the material will be used as a sacrament of the spiritual, when the religion of Bhakti shall be lived by men of the world and the Gospel of Guru Nanak be enthroned in our hearts again.\n\nThere is a suggestive little story in the Sikh scriptures. We read that Guru Nanak was one day invited by a poor man to dine at his house, and the Teacher of mercy accepted the invitation. A day was fixed; and on that day the Teacher moved out towards the house. He knocked at the door, but it was some time before the door was opened. When the poor man came out, he said to Guru Nanak: \"Master, forgive me, I did not open the door in time.\" The Teacher asked: \"What were you doing?\" The man replied: \"Master! I was driving nails into the wall.\" The Teacher looked into the eyes of this poor man with love and compassion and said: \"Brother, what are you doing? Driving nails into the walls? Follow me.\" The poor man answered: \"Master, as thou dost order. I follow thee.\" Forthwith, the man left his all; he followed the Teacher, and became a disciple of Guru Nanak. Think you the Voice of the Teacher is silent now? Methinks even at this moment the loving voice of the compassionate Teacher comes to you and to me and asks: \"What are you doing? Driving nails into the wall? What are you doing? Still immersed in the maya of lower life? What are you doing? Still oblivious of the sacred meaning of life? Still unconscious of the supreme Realities of the Unseen?\" The Teacher tells us all today, \"Brothers, what are you doing? Driving nails into the wall?\" What shall be your answer? What shall be my answer? Shall we not say, as did the dear disciple of old—shall we not say in accents of faith, of love and reverence?—\"Master, we are poor and weak; our faith is dim; our hearts are dull: yet we, too, shall follow thee.\"—Prof. Vaswani.\n\nPage 615", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-433 - Governor Sir May - 1916 [5-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 462001, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-433 - Governor Sir May - 1916 [5-6]", "page_number": 634, "title": "CO129-433 - Governor Sir May - 1916 [5-6]", "content_text": "# Canada and India \n## A Journal of Information and Conciliation. \n**\"THE STRONGEST Of all british bonDS ARE KNOWLEDGE and SYMPATHY.\"** \n### VOL.

Bombay was the great centre of these activities for 1915, and there, in the last week of December, was held a series of gatherings of great import to India. First in importance stood the National Congress and the All-India Muslim League. Others were the Social and Industrial Conferences, the All-India Hindu Conference, the Theistic Conference, the Arya Samaj Anniversary, the All-India Temperance Conference, the Theosophical Convention and the newly formed Commercial Congress and Press Association. \n\n### THE NATIONAL CONGRESS. \nThe thirtieth session of the National Congress met in a huge structure capable of holding 10,000 people, which had been erected for the occasion. It was attended by 2,250 delegates from all parts of India, the largest attendance on record since this national body first began, in 1885, to voice the hopes and aspirations of the Indian people. There were also 5,000 visitors and 750 lady delegates and visitors. \n\nThe hall was furnished with electric lights and fans, and profusely decorated with flags and mottoes expressing loyalty to the King-Emperor and devotion to the Motherland, such as \"God Bless the King-Emperor, Protector of India's Rights,” “India Aspires to Have Her Right Place in the Empire,\" \"In the Service of the Motherland,\" etc. The decorative colors of the hall were yellow and black- the black in commemoration of the two beloved patriots who had passed away during the year— Mr. Gokhale and Sir Pherozshah Mehta-whose portraits were conspicuously placed. Picturesqueness was added by the variety of costumes from the different Provinces. \n\nThe president and a number of delegates from the All-India Muslim League were on the platform. There were also well-known patriots, such as Gandhi of South African fame, Surendranath Bannerji from Bengal, Pandit Malavya from the United Provinces, and there was Mrs. Sarojini Naidu, “the beautiful and loved singing bird of India.\" Men and women, Parsees, Mohammedans, Hindus and Christians, from North, East, West and South, had gathered in thousands as Indians, under the flag of one nationality and having one goal in view-\"Self-Rule Within the British Empire.\" \n\nThe proceedings began with a patriotic song of welcome by a choir of Indian girls. The address of welcome was by Mr. D. E. Wacha, well known for his long political experience, his wide knowledge of Indian affairs and deep study of economics. Sir S. P. Sinha, a successful lawyer, who has been a Cabinet Minister in the Viceroy's Executive Council, gave a scholarly and comprehensive Presidential address dealing with questions especially vital to his country at the present time. \n\n### LOYAL RESOLUTIONS. \nThe first three resolutions passed were those of loyalty. Of this phase of the proceedings, St. Nihal Singh writes thus: \"The session of the Indian National Congress that has just closed in Bombay has given fresh proof of India's desire to do her utmost to aid the British Empire during this crisis. Thousands of men, differing from one another in race and creed and gathered from all the Presidencies and Provinces comprising the Indian Empire, have resolved with perfect unanimity to support the British arms by all means possible and at all hazard. The keynote of many important addresses was an appeal to Britain to employ a far larger number of Indian soldiers than she is doing at present.\" \n\nResolutions also were passed unanimously in regard to the Arms Act, the Press Act, and the Swadeshi Movement, and for the military training of Indians, the Abolition of Indentured Labor and the Separation of Executive and Judicial Functions.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-433 - Governor Sir May - 1916 [5-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 462005, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-433 - Governor Sir May - 1916 [5-6]", "page_number": 638, "title": "CO129-433 - Governor Sir May - 1916 [5-6]", "content_text": "# TO INDIA. \n\n## AN ANTHEM OF LOVE. \n\n### CANADA AND INDIA \n\nTwo hands are we to serve thee, O our Mother, \nTo strive and succour, cherish and unite; \nTwo feet are we to cleave the warring darkness, \nAnd gain the pathways of the dawning light. \nTwo ears are we to catch the nearing echo, \nThe sounding cheer of Time's prophetic horn; \nTwo eyes are we to reap the crescent glory, \nThe radiant promise of renascent morn. \nOne heart are we to love thee, O our Mother, \nOne undivided, indivisible soul, \nBound by one hope, one purpose, one devotion, \nTowards a great, divinely destined goal. \n—Mrs. Sarojini Naidu. \n\n### ISSUED BY \n**CANADA INDIA COMMITTEE** \n158 Bay \n\n## AUSTRALIA AND INDIA. \nBy the Rev. C. F. Andrews. (From the \"Modern Review.\") \n\nI have been trying to study carefully the dominant ideas underlying modern Australian life in their relation to India, and have been surprised to find how small is the margin of conflict. I have had to modify considerably some of the points that I regarded as axioms, and in certain fundamental ways to change my thoughts concerning Australians themselves. \n\nBy accident of fortune, trend of circumstance, and hard-fought conflict combined, Australia has become more and more the working man's close preserve, his unchallenged estate. The laborers, who found it difficult to win even one of their rights and privileges in England, have entered into them all with extraordinary ease and rapidity in Australia. There have been many wild adventures and brilliant successes of capitalists, as some new gold mine has been discovered, or some new patent cold-storage has been invented; but, notwithstanding all this, the country has never got into the capitalists' hands. The laborers have struggled to their kingdom, and have won it so securely that now they have the capitalist almost at their mercy. \n\nIt may be that the pendulum has swung too far; that labor has got too completely the upper hand; that there has been much that is sordid and selfish in the labor policy. This may be readily granted; yet the victory has been a signal one all the same. It is one of the new landmarks in the history of the world, and it is of far greater significance to humanity than the defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo, or the German invasion of Belgium. \n\n### THE CRY FOR A \"WHITE AUSTRALIA.\" \nBut how, then, comes in this cry for a wholly white Australia? ... our fear of the \"color prejudice,\" but that in the exigencies of warfare they soon become not only next-door neighbors, but also the best of comrades (I am certain this last part is true, every word). Invariably, whenever I told that story to Australians, their comment was that in those conditions there would have been no objection among them at all to \"colored\" men, and they were quite misunderstood on the \"color\" question. They pointed out to me how glad Australians were when they heard that Indian troops were going out to fight along with the British at the front—quite a different mood from a considerable volume of English opinion in South Africa which rather resented it and thought it might lower the dignity of the white man. \n\nI think it may be fairly said that actually, in daily life, there is no more color prejudice in the \"Anzac zone,\" down here at the Antipodes, than there is in England itself—and for the same reason, because there is no experience. I would go further, and give very high praise to the New Zealander, where there is experience. For his treatment of the Maori has been recently almost exemplary. To open the door to full citizenship in fifty years to this different race; to give them the fullest facilities for education and to allow them to carry arms and take rank in the army where merit has been shown; to take them into the comradeship of sport; to cast no slur upon the children of intermarriage; to accomplish all this in fifty years is no small achievement. \n\n### AN ECONOMIC OBJECTION. \nWhat, then, is this cry of \"White Australia\"? We must go back to our earlier historical setting, and study more carefully the labor struggle and the labor victory. At every point in this great, historic struggle the capitalist has endeavored to bring in, entirely for his own profit-making business, the colored man, who can work and live more cheaply than the white man. If the capitalist had been able to effect this, then the whole battle of Australian labor would have been lost. The capitalist to-day would have become master of the situation, and the laborer to-day would be his helot. There would be slums and foul places, and foul, unhealthy conditions in Australia to-day such as still exist, almost unheeded, in Europe. Labor has won its great battle on one condition, and one condition only, by fighting against the import of cheap industry from outside. That is what \"white Australia\" has meant hitherto. \n\nIt is an evil term, and it should never have been used. It is a term which, every year, becomes more and more morally dangerous; for it tends to foster in the minds of young Australians a color-pride which is next-door to color-prejudice. It is a term which ought to be dropped as soon as possible, for it is grossly insulting to other races: and India and Japan and China are quite right in resenting its use most strongly. But, on the other hand, as I have tried to show, in its origin it is wholly, or almost wholly economic. In its origin it differs as widely as possible from that color-hatred in Africa, which is only in a small part economic, and is in a far greater measure a hardened racial instinct. \n\n### INDIAN INDENTURED LABOR IN FIJI. \nHow, then, does this reading of Australian history affect the problem of Indian indentured labor in Fiji? Very materially indeed. For, if my argument has been followed, it will be seen that India has the whole of the victorious sentiment of Australia (which has won its own way out of labor-serfdom) on its own side. Australia, as a whole, would like to see indentured Indian labor in Fiji abolished to-morrow. Australia, as a whole, hates the very thought of such cheap, sweated, profit-making business as the great sugar factories are carrying on in Fiji. From one side of Australia to the other, and in New Zealand also, I have only heard one opinion when I have broached the subject: and that is, \"Abolish indenture in Fiji as soon as possible!\" If I say to them that the largest company in Fiji (the practical monopoly there) is an Australian company, they reply at once, \"We hate monopolies in Australia, and we would like this one smashed, as well as every other monopoly in the land.\" If I say to them, \"Would you be ready to stand up for the rights of colored labor in this matter, as you would for the rights of white labor?\" they will answer, \"We have no hold on Fiji at all, because it is a Crown Colony. But if it were to come under Australia we would do all we could to abolish it.\" \n\nThere are many other sides of this widely ramifying question which I have consciously passed over in order to make one point clear. Australia and New Zealand are, both of them, in principle bound to support us in our own struggle to abolish the indenture system. \n\nI have been obliged to talk about \"white\" and \"colored\" in this article, because these are the present Australian terms. I hate them myself, because they always seem to imply arrogance in the appropriation of the word \"white\" by the European. I believe we shall not get rid of the evil and hateful sentiments behind the use of the words until we give them up altogether and talk about our different nationalities without referring to \"color\" at all—at least for so long as \"white\" implies an arrogant and unwarranted assumption. \n\nRabindranath Tagore's play, \"Chitra,\" was staged most successfully by the Arts and Letters Club of Toronto, on March 4th. \n\n\"Canada and India\" is published every other month.

Watson. \n\n## EDUCATION OF GIRLS IN INDIA. \n\nIt is rather remarkable that in the midst of the stress and strain of war-time there should have arisen in India and England a new movement for the education of Indian girls. It is reassuring to see that constructive efforts for \"after-the-war\" adjustments are still kept in mind, for it is pretty generally recognized among thinking people in both India and England that one of the first steps in India's onward movement—that which will best prepare her for her rightful position in the Empire—is the education of her women. \n\n### NEED FOR THE MOVEMENT. \n\nThe friends and reformers of India are not satisfied with the allotment of girls' education of only one-ninth of the public funds spent directly on education. They are not satisfied with the general percentage of 5.1 of pupils to the girl population of the school-going age and a much lower one in some of the provinces—such as 1.2 in the United Provinces. They cannot be content with the statistics for 1912-13, which show roughly that only one girl to every five boys is under instruction. They feel that the difficulties of caste and purdah cannot account for this condition, since in the United Provinces the Indian Christian girls in Anglo-vernacular secondary schools number only 2,668 out of a female Indian Christian population of 77,131. Before speaking further of the present movement, it will be interesting to follow the history of girls' education in India as related to Government enactments. First, there was the Despatch of 1854, known as \"the Educational Charter\" of India, which founded the Indian Universities, introduced the system of grants-in-aid, and directed the extension of female education. One paragraph of the Despatch declares: \"The importance of female education in India cannot be overrated, and we have observed with pleasure the evidence which is now afforded of an increased desire on the part of many of the natives of India to give a good education to their daughters. By this means a far greater proportional impulse is imparted to the educational and moral tone of the people than by the education of men.\" \n\nThe Educational Commission of 1882 strongly urged the same view, and it received the endorsement of the Government of India and of the Secretary of State. A Government High School for girls was afterwards established at Poona. This was initiated at a meeting in the Poona Town Hall in 1884, just thirty years after the Despatch of 1854. A notable event at the meeting was the reading of a memorial from the Arya Mahila Samaj, or Indian Ladies' Association, which asked the Government \"that female education might receive more liberal support, for they felt confident that the blessings conferred by male education would be multiplied a hundredfold if the women similarly favoured.\" Prof. Bhandarkar, in an address at the same meeting, pointed out that, according to the ancient Aryan idea, the wife was the companion and friend of the husband, his partner in religious and worldly duties, and he quoted from the Mahabharata, \"a wife is the half of a man and his most excellent friend; she is the foundation for him who seeks to be redeemed, a friend in solitude, a father in matters of duty, and a mother in distress.\" \n\nIn 1892 a memorial was sent to the Government asking \"that more strenuous efforts may be made and larger grants allotted for the promotion of female education in India,\" and especially that the support given to the Poona High School be continued. \n\nEnlarged grants for education were among the benefactions announced at the Delhi Durbar in 1911. In the Delhi Resolution in the Department of Education, 1913, the subject of education of girls was introduced by the words, \"the education of girls remains unorganized.\" \n\n### THE MEMORIAL OF 1915. \n\nThe present effort has been inaugurated to secure this needed organization, and it takes the form of a memorial to the Secretary of State for India, asking for the appointment of a Commission to enquire into the conditions and especial needs of the education of girls among all classes, and to report upon the best methods of procedure, so that a scheme may be built up suited to the requirements of the various communities and sects of India. This memorial of 1915 has some new and striking features, which indicate a radical change in the outlook upon educational methods for Indian women. The general position taken by the memorialists may be briefly stated as follows: \n\n1. That in the education of girls the more advanced Feudatory States show better results than British India, for while in 1913 only 3,910 girls were under instruction for every million of the general population, the proportion in Mysore was 5,600, in Travancore 18,637, in Cochin it was nearly 20,000 (in 1912), and in Baroda as high as 35,500 (in 1912), and from these facts they draw the conclusion that better results are possible even under present conditions if the control of girls' education were more in Indian hands. \n2. \"That the enormous disparity (of 1 to 5) in the number of girls and boys under instruction in British India constitutes a grave danger to the social well-being of Indian communities, and must impose a serious obstacle to the well-balanced development of their intellectual and political progress.\" \n3. That no steps towards the organization of the education of girls will be \"effective without the assistance and co-operation of Indian women interested in the subject.\" \n4. That the fact that almost the whole of the directing and inspecting female agency consists of Europeans and Anglo-Indians constitutes (except where the highest types are selected with the definite object of training Indian women to fill their places) an obvious barrier to the promotion of a movement so intimately connected with home-life as the education of girls,\" and \"they regard it a matter of vital and urgent importance that liberal scholarships and every possible facility should be provided for the training of Hindu, Mahomedan, and Buddhist women teachers and inspectresses.\" \n5. They express their great satisfaction with the appointment of an Indian member of the Viceroy's Executive Council to hold charge of the Education Department, and regard it as peculiarly fitting that his hands should be strengthened \"by a thorough examination of the question of the education of girls through a representative committee, consisting mainly of Indians of all communities, together with ladies connected with or interested in education in this country, and, wherever possible, Indian ladies intimately in touch with the conditions under which Indian girls are brought up and Indian women work for the building up and consolidation of their homes.\" \n\nThe memorial was adopted at a meeting held at the residence of Lady Muir-Mackenzie, July 14th. Sir Krishna Gupta presided, and among those who spoke in support were Sir William Wedderburn, Lady Emily Lutyens, Miss Tagart, Mr. Yusuf Ali, Mr. Fox Pitt, and Sir Mancherjee Bhownaggree. A large number of signatures of well-known men and women, both Indian and English, have already been obtained. \n\nThe friends of India everywhere will wish this undertaking a brilliant success. \n\nThere has already been quite a few things written about the returned soldiers after the war and their settlement to civil life. We would suggest that Canada, to show a real spirit of Empire citizenship and camaraderie, should open a tract of land where Indian soldiers of the King may settle as a community in this fair Dominion after the war is over. \n\n### WHAT FRIENDS MAY DO. \n\nFriends interested in bringing about a better understanding between India and Canada may give time and attention to study the movement. \nThey may give effort in public speaking and in organizing their communities. \nThey may use the local press, the men's and women's clubs, young people's organizations, churches, missionary societies, or any social or literary organization to inform the public. \nThey may make personal effort among their acquaintances. \nThey may write to lawmakers, asking support of bills for making just laws on this question. \n\n\"Canada and India\" is published every other month.

In the petition allegations of fraud and misappropriation of funds were made against two of the directors, and argument upon the question of whether the court could regard these allegations occupied the court on Thursday and Friday and part of yesterday, when the Chief Justice decided that they are admissible. The hearing of the petition is expected to last three weeks.\n\nThe petition was filed by Sun Fat Shan, a merchant residing in China and a shareholder in the company, and was supported by a number of shareholders. The respondent was the Yu Hing Company (Limited), and notice of opposition was also filed by Lee Hyson, Ma Chee Lung and a number of shareholders who claimed to represent nearly half the total share capital of the company.\n\nMr. Duncan McNeill (Shanghai) and Mr. F. C. Jenkin appeared for the petitioners on the instructions of Mr. Crewe (Messrs. Hastings and Hastings); and Mr. C. G. Alabaster, and Mr. Eldon Potter (instructed by Mr. Beavis of Messrs. Wilkinson and Grist) for the respondent company. Mr. Potter also represented Lee Hyson and Ma Chee Lung, the directors against whom the allegations are made.\n\nMr. Alabaster informed his Lordship this morning that since the issue of the new advertisement giving notice of the petition four further shareholders, holding eighty shares, had given notice to oppose the petition; and he now represented the holders of 1,030 shares which was more than half the shares of the company.\n\nMr. McNeill opened the case for the petitioners, and devoted the whole of the hearing to directing his Lordship's attention to the affidavits and declarations. Dealing with petitioners' allegation that the minute books of the company had been faked by certain directors entering minutes of meetings of the company which he submitted were never held, he said that all the declarations filed would be supported by the evidence of witnesses who could be cross-examined. Certain of the petitioning directors (whose names he mentioned) had filed declarations to the effect that since the incorporation of the company no statutory meetings of shareholders were ever held, nor was any report ever filed with the Registrar of Companies as required by law.\n\nCase proceeding.\n\n# Enclosure 4 in No. 1.\n## Memorandum of Agreement.\n\n**MEMORANDUM** of Agreement made the 1st day of October, 1915, between the companies, firms, and persons whose names appear at the end under the heading \"The parties of the first part\" of the one part, and his Excellency Tsai Nai Huang, the special envoy appointed by the Government of the Republic of China by presidential mandate, dated the 30th April, 1915, for the prohibition of the sale of native opium in the provinces of Kiangsu, Kiangsi, and Kwangtung (hereinafter called \"the envoy\") of the other part, whereby it is agreed as follows:—\n\n1. The parties hereto of the first part shall sell and the envoy shall purchase 1,200 chests of certificated opium of which 806 shall be chests belonging to the parties hereto of the first part (as hereinafter defined), or held by them or some of them for sale on account of others, as set out opposite the signatures to this agreement of the parties hereto of the first part, and 394 chests shall be chests obtained by the parties hereto of the first part from Shanghai.\n\n2. All opium sold to the envoy under this agreement shall have been certified by the Indian Government for export to China. All opium purchased under this agreement shall be sold or disposed of by the envoy for consumption in Kwangtung, and no opium shall be shipped to Kiangsu or Kiangsi.\n\n3. The envoy shall pay for all opium, purchase on delivery in the Hong Kong notes of a British bank carrying on business in Hong Kong, at the following prices:\n| Type of Opium | Price per picul | Price per chest |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Malwa opium (old and/or new) Guzerat Malwa | | 9,300 |\n| Patna | | 9,110 |\n| Benares | | 9,150 |\n| | Dollars, per picul | 8,950 |\n\n4. All payments for opium from Shanghai shall be made in taels and the prices set out in clause 3 shall be converted into taels at the rate of 79 taels for each 100 dollars Hong Kong currency, and payment made accordingly, and drafts shall be drawn on Hong Kong against documents in respect of each shipment from Shanghai, and such drafts shall be met by the envoy at the above rate of exchange. Non-duty paid opium from Shanghai shall be shipped to Hong Kong, and duty paid opium shall be shipped to Canton.\n\n4A. If any chest of Malwa opium or of Patna or Benares opium shall, owing to circumstances over which the parties hereto of the first part have no control, contain less than the normal quantity of opium, whether cakes or balls (as the case may be) delivery shall nevertheless be taken by the envoy, but the price shall be proportionately diminished.\n\n5. The weight allowances given to Chinese purchasers in respect of all Malwa opium as specified in clause 8 of the agreement between the parties hereto of the first part of the 8th July, 1913, shall be allowed to the envoy in respect of all opium purchased which is Malwa opium, but such Malwa opium must be weighed within two months from the 1st October, 1915.\n\n6. The envoy shall take delivery without fail of not less than thirty chests of all opium purchased under this agreement during the month of October 1915, and of not less than thirty-five chests during November 1915, and shall thereafter without fail take delivery each month commencing in December 1915 of not less than one-sixteenth of the balance of all opium purchased. If the envoy shall take delivery of any monthly quantity or any portion thereof within thirty days after any month the parties hereto of the first part shall be entitled to sell such opium either by public auction or private contract, and the envoy shall pay to the parties hereto of the first part all losses, damages, costs, charges and expenses incurred or sustained by them.\n\n7. The envoy shall, in respect of all opium purchased under this agreement, pay to Messrs. David Sassoon and Co. (Limited), for each chest of opium taken delivery of by him the sum of 3,500 Mexican dollars, in accordance with the envoy and the Shanghai combine, dated the 1st May, 1915, in addition to the price for such chest as herein before provided.\n\n8. All payments to be made by the envoy for all opium purchased shall be made to Messrs. David Sassoon and Co. (Limited).\n\n9. As security for the performance by the envoy of his obligations under this agreement the envoy shall deposit with Messrs. David Sassoon and Co. (Limited), on behalf of the parties hereto of the first part the sum of 500,000 dollars in the Hong Kong notes of a British bank carrying on business in Hong Kong. Such deposit shall be paid without fail as to 250,000 dollars within three days after the date of this agreement, and as to the balance on or before the 31st October, 1915.\n\n10. Messrs. David Sassoon and Co. (Limited) shall deposit the said sum of 500,000 dollars in the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation on fixed deposit. Subject to the provisions of clause 12 hereof the envoy shall be entitled to all interest allowed by the bank in respect of the deposit.\n\n11. After the envoy has taken delivery of all opium purchased except the last 100 chests, the parties hereto of the first part shall, if no claim shall exist against the envoy in respect of all opium purchased or any part thereof, and subject to any operation of clause 12, refund to him out of the deposit on the clearance of each of the last 100 chests the sum of 5,000 dollars.\n\n12. The said sum of 500,000 dollars deposited, and all interest accrued or accruing thereon, shall be held by the parties hereto of the first part as security for the performance by the envoy of his obligations in respect of all opium purchased. If any claim shall exist against the envoy by reason of his failure to perform any obligation of his in respect of all opium purchased, the parties hereto of the first part shall be entitled, at the expiration of eighteen months from the date hereof, without notice to the envoy to satisfy such claim out of the said sum of 500,000 dollars and all interest accrued or accruing thereon, but the envoy shall remain liable to pay the balance of any such claim to the parties hereto of the first part.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-437 - Public Offices - 1916.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 465165, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-437 - Public Offices - 1916", "page_number": 725, "title": "CO129-437 - Public Offices - 1916", "content_text": "## HONG KONG\n723\n\nC.O. \n57844 \nREC \nREGY 2 OFC 16, \n0. 1916 \n\nLac. \nLast previous Paper. \n57844 \n\nExport of young bags to Darien suggests that the Govt. should be asked to limit consignments to 100 bags.\n\nMr. Conan Larpent says that no action should be taken for the present with regard to rising tronks and Ad.

WON TIP's father was born in WONG TAU, FONG SAI HEUNG, SAN ON, China. His father is dead and I can recollect his name and his mother is also dead but I cannot recollect the year they died. My mother, who died twenty-seven years ago, told me before she died, that WON TIP was born in HONG KONG and my father, who was named YU HEE GOM and died thirty years ago, told me the same.\n\nWON TIP has never told me he was born in HONG KONG. I went to school at NAM TOW and WON TIP went to school at SAI HEUNG. This is about three miles from NAM TOW now. This is where I first knew WON TIP and he was then about six or seven years of age. I remained in NAM TOW until I was about thirteen years of age. I then went to HONG KONG to look for work and remained there for four years. I then went to sea as a trimmer for two years.\n\nI then went to SHANG HAI where I worked for two years in a ship building yard. I then removed to FOOK CHOW and got employment as an engineer. I remained there for eight years, returned to SHANG HAI and remained there for six months.

After these two parties joined the combination they continued to run the Sam Shui Po service independently save that, if the launches devoted to it had to be laid up for any purpose, the combination supplied launches and took the fare, until the launches so laid up were in commission again.\n\nIn 1914 the Chee Wo Company went bankrupt and their business was purchased by the Tung Hing (another member of the combination) who continued to run the Sam Shui Po service in conjunction with the Tack On Company on the same lines as before. In 1916 the fare was increased to five cents.

The Compradore's principal duty is to supervise the immediate issue of postage stamps for sale to the public, for which purpose he receives a stock of the face value of £3,000; and as this stock becomes depleted he buys a further supply from the Postmaster-General against cash received from the stamps that have already been sold.\n\n3. The main stock of stamps is issued at monthly intervals from the Treasury strong room, and it is checked into a safe in the Postmaster-General's Office by the Postmaster-General and the Compradore, each of whom holds the key of one of the two locks in the safe. From this safe stamps are issued to the Compradore for distribution to the selling shroffs.\n\n4. It appears that Mr. S.B.C.

There is no doubt that opium is being smuggled from Shan States into Yunnan, but consular reports indicate that Yunnan provincial authorities are encouraging this traffic and obtain considerable revenue thereby. They also appear to have adopted policy of open encouragement of poppy cultivation. Any steps we might take to control cultivation in Shan States would, probably, give rise to disturbances.

The protest and opposition of the Korean People to Japanese annexation of their country and to the process of political extermination applied to them by the Mikado's agents, has now expressed itself in the Korean Revolution. On the First of March at p.m., the Korean People and Nation declared their independence. This act of independence was formally done by the National Independence Union, composed of three million Koreans representing and expressing the desire and will of 18,700,000 Koreans in Korea proper, in China, in Siberia, in Hawaii and in the United States.\n\nThe declaration states: \"It is our solemn duty to secure the right of free and perpetual development of our own national character, adapting ourselves to the principles of the reconstruction of the world—to secure our independence, to wipe out injuries, get rid of our present sufferings, and leave our children eternal freedom instead of a bitter and shameful inheritance.\"\n\nPROGRESS OF THE REVOLUTION.\n\n17. The Korean Delegation—appointed by the New Korean Young Men's Society to which are affiliated the Korean National Independence Union and other Bodies organised in the cause of Korean independence—is in receipt of several cable despatches, reporting the progress of the revolution and the national movement for independence.\n\nA despatch from the Korean National Independence Union received in Paris, via Shanghai, on April 7 instant, reads in part as follows: \"On March 26 we held grand demonstrations at Seoul. Our national flags were flown on the city hills. The Japanese Authorities arrested two hundred of those who participated in the demonstrations. There were casualties on both sides. Samnam (i.e., all provinces south of Seoul) are uprising every day. Korean demonstrations are taking place in Eastern Siberia and Manchuria.\"\n\nTHE KOREAN REPUBLIC.\n\n18. The same despatch reports the organisation of a Provisional Republican Government of Korea, consisting of a President, Vice-President, Secretary of State, Minister for Home Affairs, Minister of Finance, Minister of Justice and Minister of War.\n\nAmong those included in the Provisional Government are Prince Pak Yung-hio and Messrs. Rhee Syngman, Ahn Chang Ho and Li Tong Whi. Prince Pak Yung-hio is one of the five great leaders who inaugurated what is known in Korean history as the movement of the Progressive Party in 1884. He was the chief figure among the Progressives who, in 1891, compelled the introduction of modern reforms into Korea. He was at one time Minister for Home Affairs before the annexation. Rhee Syngman is an M.A. of Harvard, U.S.A. and Ph.D. of Princeton, B.S.A. Since 1894 he has been one of the leaders of the old Korean Independence Club. As a political worker, he has suffered imprisonment and he has also been tortured. Ahn Chang Ho is the founder of the Sin Min Huch of People's Society and, since 1905, has been a leader of young Korean nationalists. He is the President of the Korean National Association. Li Tong Whi is a former major in the old Korean Army and a recognised leader of Korean nationalists in Siberia and Manchuria. He has been imprisoned and tortured by the Japanese Authorities.\n\nJAPANESE REPRESSION.\n\n19. Another despatch received by the Korean Delegation on April 10 instant, states that \"from first March up to date, active demonstrations of the Independence movement have been very well conducted all over Korea. Representatives prefer passive revolution, including lecturing and distribution of manifestoes. Girls more active. Strikes have occurred in enemy (Japanese) factories, stores, etc. Our churches, schools and 32,000 men and women are in prison. About 100,000 have been injured, including stores closed everywhere, old people, girls and children. Interior traffic communications severed. Terrible outrages committed by enemy (Japanese). Missionaries are sending truth to world.\"\n\nIn a further despatch which reached the Korean Delegation on April 11 instant, Japanese atrocities are reported: \"Japan has begun massacring in Korea. On March 28, over 1,000 unarmed people were killed during a three-hour demonstration held in Seoul. The shooting, beating and bayonetting of people are in merciless progress throughout Korea. Churches, schools and homes of leaders have been destroyed. Women are being stripped naked and beaten before crowds, especially female members of leaders' families. The imprisoned are being tortured. Doctors are forbidden to attend to the wounded. Foreign Red Cross. We have decided to fight for freedom until last Korean falls. We ask urgently aid from ... We solicit help in the name of God.\n\nOf the many news despatches on the subject appearing in the American and the European Press, it must suffice here to quote the latest from the Tokio correspondent of the London \"Times\". It appeared in the issue of the London paper on April 17 instant, under the caption \"Korea's Rights\". \"While it is recognized that there can be only one outcome of the disturbances in Korea, the Government's decision to reinforce the military establishment in the peninsula evokes universal Press comment, the feature of which is the recognition that it will be inevitable, when opportunity occurs, to replace the Military Governor by a civilian Governor. The Nichi-Nichi attributes the disturbances chiefly to a mistaken conception of the principle of self-determination, also to the inimical influence of missionaries. The 'Jiji' says it is evident that many reforms are necessary in Korea. Another journal dwells on the fact that the Koreans are not an inferior people…\"\n\nABROGATION OF THE TREATY OF ANNEXATION.\n\n20. The Korean People submit that the Treaty of Annexation of August 22, 1910, should be declared Null and Void or otherwise abrogated by the Peace Conference for the reasons set forth in this Petition and further elaborated in the Memorandum hereto attached and more especially for the reasons following:-\n\nI. The said Treaty of Annexation was concluded in circumstances of Fraud and Force which vitiated its validity as a legal and international document, even assuming that the then Emperor of Korea had the right to hand over to His Majesty the Emperor of Japan Fifteen Million Koreans and a country that had existed as a separate and sovereign state for more than 4,200 years.\n\nII. The Korean People and Nation have consistently denied the right of the then \"puppet\" Emperor of Korea to deal with them in terms of the said Treaty of Annexation. Being men and not cattle they hold that their consent is and has been an essential condition to the validity of the said Treaty. This consent has never been given.\n\nIII. The said Treaty of Annexation was and is a direct violation by Japan of the International guarantees entered into by the Japanese Government with Korea and other Powers regarding Korean independence and integrity.\n\nIV. In the several Treaties concluded between Korea and Japan and other Powers, and by Japan with China, with Russia and with Great Britain, regarding Korea, the existence of the latter as a separate and sovereign state is—as to all these Treaties—explicitly recognised and its political independence and territorial integrity...\n\nThe Japan-Korean Treaty of February 26 or 27, 1876, states in the first article \"Chosen being an independent state enjoys the same sovereign rights as does Japan\".\n\nIn the Japan-Russian Protocol of April 25, 1898, it is stipulated in Article I that the \"Imperial Governments of Japan and Russia definitively recognise the sovereignty and entire independence of Korea, and mutually engage to refrain from all direct interference in the internal affairs of that country.\"\n\nThe Japan-Korean Protocol of February 13, 1904, provides (art. 3) that the Government of Japan definitively guarantees the independence and territorial integrity of the Korean Empire.\n\nPage 386", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-458 - Public Offices & Others - 1919.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 483565, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-460 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1920 [1-4]", "page_number": 378, "title": "CO129-460 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1920 [1-4]", "content_text": "Ad\n\nthe\n\nth\n\n16\n\nthe art person to admirati\n\nthe Sort\n\nC.

The Kwangtung Government will permit the syndicate to bore, examine and survey all such ground as the syndicate may be advised, or have reason to believe, contains coal within the following districts (abutting over or adjacent to the Canton-Hankow Railway and the Canton-Kowloon Railway), viz., Nam Hoi, Pun U, Tang Koon, Po On, Sam Sui, Fa Yuen, Ying Tak, Ching Yuen, Yeng Shan, Liu Yuen Kuk Kong, Lok Cheong, Yue Yuen, Yan Fa, Chee Hing, Nam Hung, Fat Kong, Yung Yuen, Ko Ming, Tsang Shing, Taung Fa, &c., and the Government will not after the date of the signing of the agreement grant permits to any other persons, firm or company to bore, examine, survey and mine in any of the districts above mentioned until the period set forth in clause 13 hereof shall have lapsed.\n\n2. The Kwangtung Government shall cause this agreement to be provisionally signed and chopped, whereupon the syndicate shall take all such steps as may be necessary to obtain the official sanction and approval thereto of the Central Government of China at Peking, and upon such sanction and approval being obtained, the Kwangtung Government shall ratify this agreement, and immediately thereupon the syndicate shall deposit with the Kwangtung Government the sum of 100,000 dollars Hong Kong currency.\n\n3. Within a period of nine months from the ratification aforesaid of this agreement the syndicate shall, in the event of the said boring, examination and survey of the ground in the districts aforesaid appearing to the syndicate to justify the syndicate so doing, float a company to be called \"The Kwangtung Collieries (Limited),\" with a nominal capital of 10,000,000 dollars for the purpose of working coal mines in the said districts and of dealing with the coal thereby secured, and shall transfer to such company all rights and benefits and liabilities of the syndicate under this agreement.\n\n4. In the event of no such company being floated by the syndicate within the said period of nine months, the Kwangtung Government shall be entitled to retain the said sum of 100,000 dollars, and this agreement shall thereupon determine. But in the event of such company being floated, a further sum of 900,000 dollars (making with the said sum of 100,000 dollars a sum of altogether 1,000,000 dollars) shall be deposited within the said period of nine months by that company with the Kwangtung Government as security for the due carrying out by the company of its objects, as set out in the memorandum and articles of association.\n\n5. The said sum of 1,000,000 dollars, when so deposited in pursuance of clause 4 hereof, shall bear interest at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, which interest the company shall be entitled to deduct from the dividends payable to the Kwangtung Government or its nominees in pursuance of the provisions of clause 8 hereof. There shall be further deducted from its dividends so payable to the Kwangtung Government or its nominees 4 per cent. per annum on the said sum of 1,000,000 dollars for the purpose of forming an amortisation or sinking fund, which shall be exchanged in sums of not less than 10,000 dollars for the \"B\" shares referred to in clause 8 hereof, until the whole of the said sum of 1,000,000 dollars shall be so received by the company. If no dividend is payable, the Kwangtung Government will not receive any interest on the said sum of 1,000,000 dollars. If the dividend payable is not sufficient to pay the interest of the said sum of 1,000,000 dollars, the Kwangtung Government will not make up the deficit. The deduction from the dividend for forming the amortisation or sinking fund is similarly calculated. If the company goes into liquidation the deposited money shall be retained by the Kwangtung Government and this agreement will determine.\n\n6. The said capital of 10,000,000 dollars (fixed as the nominal capital of the company to be floated as aforesaid) shall be divided into 1,000,000 shares of 10 dollars each, half of which shall be classed as \"B\" shares, and shall be considered as fully paid-up shares and be allotted by the directors of the company, who are of Chinese nationality, in such manner as they may decide (subject to the provisions of clause 8 hereof).\n\n7. The articles of association of the said company to be floated as aforesaid shall provide that, out of the profits of the company there shall be first paid all working expenses, a royalty not exceeding 1 dollar per ton of all coal extracted and dealt with, all reasonable expenses to staff, sums properly payable to the Kwangtung Government, and interest at the rate of 8 per cent per annum on the capital represented by the \"A\" shares to the holders thereof; and the remainder of the said profits as shall be declared available for dividend shall be paid by way of dividend to holders of \"A\" and \"B\" shares equally.\n\n8. Upon the incorporation of the company to be floated as aforesaid, the company shall make the following allotment of shares, namely:-\n\n| Clause | Allotment Details |\n| --- | --- |\n| (a) | Fully-paid \"B\" shares to the nominal value of 1,000,000 dollars which shall be held by the company in trust for the Kwangtung Government, the dividends on which shall inter alia form the amortisation or sinking fund referred to in clause 5 hereof. As and when sums of not less than 10,000 dollars are available in the said amortisation or sinking fund, the said fully-paid \"B\" shares to an equivalent value shall be transferred to the Kwangtung Government. |\n| (b) | Fully-paid \"B\" shares to the nominal value of 500,000 dollars to trustees to be nominated by the Kwangtung Government for the benefit of the poor people in the province of Kwangtung. |\n| (c) | Fully-paid \"B\" shares to the nominal value of 500,000 dollars to trustees to be nominated by the Kwangtung Government for educational purposes in the province of Kwangtung. |\n\nIn consideration of the said allotments as aforesaid, the Government will cause to be executed all such documents as may be necessary for the purpose of definitely granting to such company the right, for a period of ninety years from the date of such incorporation, to bore, dig, extract, transport, export and sell, or otherwise utilise, all or any portion of the coal extracted from all or any of the areas mentioned in clause 13 hereof, except the areas conceded to other companies and worked on a commercial basis as provided in clause 18 hereof.\n\n9. The company shall pay to the Kwangtung Government only such duties as are for the time being imposed upon the Kailan Mining Administration.\n\n10. At the expiration of the said period of ninety years the same may be extended or continued upon such terms and conditions as may be mutually agreed upon between the Government and the company so to be incorporated aforesaid.\n\n11. From the date of the ratification of this agreement and during the said period of ninety years and extended period (if any), the Kwangtung Government shall use its best endeavours to protect the persons employed by the said company, and their rights of property, and the rights of property of the said company, in the mines, machinery, buildings, plant and any other goods, effects or property to which the said persons and the said company may be entitled for the time being.\n\n12. The articles of association of the company to be floated as aforesaid shall further contain provisions to the following effect :-\n\n| Clause | Provision Details |\n| --- | --- |\n| (1) | That the board of directors of such company shall consist of seven persons, three of whom shall be elected by the holders of \"A\" shares, and shall be of European nationality, and three of whom shall be elected by the holders of \"B\" shares, and shall be of Chinese nationality. The remaining director shall be of British nationality, and shall be elected by the other six directors. |\n| (2) | That the staff of the said company shall consist of a European manager and of such European engineers or supervisors as may be deemed necessary by the company, and shall also consist of two secretaries, one of whom shall be of British or other European nationality, and the other of Chinese nationality. |\n| (3) | That the unskilled labourers shall all be of Chinese nationality, and so far as possible be natives of the districts in which they are employed. |\n| (4) | That the existing laws and regulations of China with regard to mining shall be followed. |\n\n13. Immediately upon payment of the said sum of 100,000 dollars referred to in clause 2 hereof, the company shall have the right to demarcate within a period... \n\nPage 768", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-471 - Public Offices - 1921.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 490790, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-472 - Others - 1921", "page_number": 483, "title": "CO129-472 - Others - 1921", "content_text": "## HEALTH COMMISSION\n\n### Addresses to the Chinese Community\n\nWith Mr. See Tiong Wah J.P., in the chair a public meeting was held at the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, yesterday afternoon, when Dr. Hallam and Mrs. Rolfe, Commissioners for the N.C.C.V.D. spoke on the subject of combating the prevalent social evil.

The addresses were interpreted into Ho-kien and Cantonese by Messrs. Ong Thye Ghee and Boey Leong. It being a public holiday, the attendance was very good and consisted of members of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, representatives from various guilds, and teachers and students of many local Chinese schools.

Mrs. Rolfe, who spoke from an economical point of view, showed some instructive diagrams and urged the formation of a local committee to educate the ignorant section of the community. She said that the Chinese traders had their excellent guilds, and other organisations which could assist a great deal in this campaign against the spread of disease and she would ask the President of the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce to pass a resolution that evening, in the interest of public health, to co-operate and render the services calculated to educate the public and check the dangers of venereal diseases, and finally to adopt such methods as would provide a free cure to all who need it. The President, Mr. Seet Teong Wah, in a few appropriate words, signified the willingness of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce to assist in the important health campaign and thanked Dr. Hallam and Mrs. Rolfe for the very able and instructive discourses they had delivered to the members and others who attended the meeting that afternoon. Mrs. Rolfe was then asked to accept a beautiful bouquet, a token of the appreciation of the Chamber for the good work the Commission had been doing, after which the meeting came to a close with the usual votes of thanks to the chairman and the speakers.\n\n真名\n\n485", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-472 - Others - 1921.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 490926, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-472 - Others - 1921", "page_number": 619, "title": "CO129-472 - Others - 1921", "content_text": "MINUTES.\n\n16\n\nnot produce them when I'll\n\nmoment of defective int\n\nthey brought up ther\n\nin para 5.\n\nCam\n\nI pointed out that\n\nthe magistrate words could ast\n\nwas santy\n\ninspirly be interpulent and meaning\n\nthee the unflogen could sell\n\nMINUTES NOT TO BE WRITTEN\n\nON THIS SIDE.\n\nsubmit draft fly.\n\nThey asteed\n\ntshave\n\nthe end. in F683\n\nA\n\nand\n\n612\n\nfee\n\n40\n\ntearon\n\nway they\n\ncouldn't.\n\nI have jufaid a\n\nAff answer\n\nto the body of the letter, bach'\n\ntheve not included\n\nA\n\nreply to\n\nthe girl\n\nAnd\n\nthat in\n\nang\n\nChart\n\nt'in fact\n\nand he coulder,\n\nbut that the guardianslich of the\n\nchild noted with him as\n\nagainst\n\ntoe Kidnapper.

The response provided does not fully correct these errors or follow the instructions given in the prompt. Let's re-evaluate and correct the text according to the given rules.\n\n## Step 1: Correcting OCR Errors and Understanding the Text\nThe original text is filled with OCR errors, such as \"MUSKAPP\", \"MUSKAPPLE\", \"OSPICARI\", and \"SLAGPIPE AMORICABO\", which are likely misrecognitions of actual words or phrases. These need to be corrected to understand the text.\n\n## Step 2: Identifying and Correcting Specific Errors\n- \"MUSKAPP must be omitted\" could be a misrecognition and might need to be understood in context.\n- \"Any acquisition of property by MUSKAPPLE Government\" suggests that \"MUSKAPPLE\" could be a misrecognition of \"MUNICIPAL\" or a similar word, potentially referring to a government entity.\n- \"OSPICARI under existing law or by SLAGPIPE AMORICABO agreement\" is likely a misrecognition of legal or procedural terms.\n\n## Step 3: Reconstructing the Text\nLet's attempt to reconstruct the text with plausible corrections:\n- \"Any acquisition of property by the Government must be either under existing law or by special agreement only subject to arbitration.\" This suggests that \"MUSKAPPLE\" could be \"Municipal\" or simply \"the\", and \"OSPICARI\" and \"SLAGPIPE AMORICABO\" are likely errors for \"under existing law\" and \"special agreement\", respectively.\n\n## Step 4: Applying Markdown Formatting and Other Rules\nThe text should be formatted in Markdown. Headers, bold text, and tables should be formatted accordingly. However, the original text does not clearly indicate the need for complex Markdown formatting beyond correcting errors and improving readability.\n\n## Step 5: Finalizing the Corrections and Formatting\nGiven the original text's condition, a direct correction into a sensible and formatted text is challenging without making assumptions. However, we can start by correcting obvious errors and formatting the text into paragraphs.\n\nThe best answer is !\n\nACQUISITION OF PROPERTY\n\nAny acquisition of property by Government must be either under existing law or by special agreement only subject to arbitration.\n\nDevonshire\n\n1923\n\nHONG KONG\n\n220\n\nFrom - Gov.

The problem is no- thing less than the invention of a new medium of education for several hundred million human beings, and its importance for the future of mankind cannot be exaggerated.\n\n8\n\nWorld-wide- lieve, do more to promote peace and goodwill among nations than can be effected by treaties or conventions. action on these lines would, I firmly be- ever races and philology: but as a man of the world and a persistent traveller over the earth's highways and byways, I would add that I greatly cherish the hope that some day a League of Nations will agree to teach all children of whatever race and people from youth upwards one and the same second language in addition to their native language and that this language, common to all people on earth, should be the English language.\n\nI wish to guard myself carefully against any suggestion that the remarks which I have made are intended as a disparagement of the Chinese language and literature. Nothing is further from my thoughts. I have devoted many years of my life to a study of Chinese and my study has left me with a profound admiration of Chinese literature and especially of Chinese poetry. But the Chinese language has in a very real sense \"the defect of its qualities.\" Its best quality is the concise, lucid and picturesque manner in which it portrays Chinese life and thought. Its corresponding defect is that, possibly because it forms so excellent a medium for the study of things Chinese, it is a very refractory medium for the interpretation of Western ideas. It forms indeed a sort of Forbidden City into which anything that is not Chinese can enter only in disguise, if at all. The problem for solution is how best the gates of this Forbidden City may be thrown open.\n\nNEED OF A SECOND LANGUAGE.\n\nNEW USES FOR THE UNIVERSITY.\n\nSuch a hope will not be fulfilled in our lifetime: but may I in conclusion take up a more lowly standpoint and suggest that the austere manner in which the Chinese language frowns at everything which is not Chinese perhaps accounts for the fact that so many Europeans live for years in Hongkong and in the Chinese treaty ports without making any effort to speak or to read the Chinese language? Accordingly the peculiar compradore system has come into being and we have a whole host of intermediaries between the Westerners and the Chinese. Only Government officials and missionaries, as a rule, can deal directly with the Chinese who surround them, and hence arise many regrettable misunderstandings. In this matter there seems to be room for give and take. The Chinese admittedly desire to acquire Western learning. They should, therefore, endeavour to make their language a more flexible medium for conveying Western thought. The Europeans wish to trade with the Chinese. They should, therefore, make a sincere effort to acquaint themselves with the Chinese language. If Government officials and missionaries can do so, why cannot the merchants follow suit? It would pay them handsomely and they would soon find that there is not only profit, but also pleasure, in forming friendships with Chinese gentlemen of the old school, who may perhaps not have been westernized as is the case with many of the younger generation, but who in intelligence, uprightness and good manners have nothing to learn from the West.\n\nHere again I think that the Hongkong University has before it a wide sphere of usefulness: and I propose as soon as possible to enquire how far the Faculty of Arts can assist the Hongkong Government in the higher education of our cadets in the Chinese language and generally in things Chinese and also to ascertain what arrangements can be made to afford similar facilities in the University for young English business-men, who look forward to making a career in China: because, important though it is for this University to interpret Western thoughts and aspirations to China, it is no less important that it should adequately interpret Chinese thoughts and aspirations to the West. (Applause.)\n\nI must also guard myself against the misconception that I have any desire to see a reformed Chinese language substituted for English as the medium of instruction in this University. Such an idea is so far from my mind that I would rather give it as my settled opinion that no Chinese can make a really scientific study even of his own language without first acquiring a competent knowledge of some inflexional language and that he will find no language more useful than English for such a purpose. When we look through the eye-piece of a telescope, we see the object in the field of vision, but the telescope itself disappears from view. Similarly when we use our mother tongue as an instrument for the expression of thought, we lose sight of its grammatical, syntactical and etymological peculiarities; and these peculiarities are best brought home to us when we place our native language side by side with another language, or preferably with several other languages, and study them in comparison as it were from outside. I say this as one who has taken a lifelong interest in philology.\n\nDEGREE OF BACHELOR OF SCIENCE (ENGINEERING).-Messrs. S. B.

By that time it was expected that the new engine which was intact at the Pokfulam pumping house station would be connected up by piping underneath the boulder that has fallen.\n\nWhen it is possible to bring into operation another of the auxiliary engines which were being reassembled at the time of the disaster and several parts of which have been lost, then it may be possible to run a full service for eight hours during the day time.\n\nThis may be effected within a fortnight according to the time taken to replace the lost parts and connect up by means of pipe lines.\n\nThe greatest delay will be that in connection with bringing into operation the main engine of the Pumping station which has been greatly damaged. This has a capacity equal to the two others combined. The two dock engineers may be able to cast certain parts but in the words of an official approached this morning it will probably be \"months and months\" before this engine will be in service again. However, with the two auxiliary engines in operation the Peak will be assured of a regular daily supply, and it is on bringing these into service that the department is concentrating at present.\n\nAt present the Peak is restricted to the \"dribble\" which it is possible to get from the reservoirs which are cut off from the pumping station, and the Conduit Road level to the supply from a service reservoir into which a stream has been diverted. Within the next few days, however, the Conduit Road level will be assured of a better supply as the services of the Fire Brigade are to be available for pumping water up to this level.\n\nDifficult Task.\n\nThe task with which the water authorities are faced is one of considerable difficulty particularly in regard to the Eastern filter bed which has been damaged by the fall of a big boulder. Pipes have also been carried away which will entail considerable difficulty in replacing.\n\nCarrying pipes weighing a ton each up the hill has been a difficult task. In certain cases staging has had to be erected.\n\nWith regard to the lower level supply the work in connection with necessary repairs and clearances is progressing and it is expected that the next few days will see a return to normal.\n\nPage 363\n\nOVERLAND CHINA MAIL\n\nPEAKITE'S LETTER.\n\nJuly 21. Received too late for insertion yesterday, a reader of the \"China Mail\" sends the following letter from the Peak.\n\nIt is typical of the experiences of residents from topside—and very modest.\n\nThe Peak, Tuesday,\n\nIt is very seldom that Peak residents are put to any inconvenience but this time they have been badly hit after the recent storms.\n\nLights went out about 8 at night when one could hardly see one's hand but fortunately it was only for a short time.\n\nRain was pouring down and some found that the chair shelter's telephone was out of order.\n\nI sent a coolie down to get chairs at the tram station only to find no cars running and chairs would be soaked through.\n\nIn spite of all weathers, the Dairy Farm milkman turns up at his appointed hour. He is a very old servant of the company and serves us faithfully. He gladdens many a mother's heart when bad weather is about.\n\nI arrived at the office soaked through, and had to remain so until dry clothes could be got.\n\nThe next drawback was the water shut off. This caught me napping and until the papers appeared in the evening they did not know how badly they were placed.\n\nIt was a great relief to get a telephone message last night to say that water would be turned on for one hour daily.\n\nFLOOD THIEVES.\n\nShops from two shops in the main Thoroughfare of Shek-tong-tsui, the Chinese locality in the western district, were carried away by the torrent of rain water on Monday.\n\nSuch was the flow of water, mud, rocks and debris from the hillside near No. 3 pumping station, that Queen's Road West was under several feet of water. Goods from exposed shops were swept away and two safes were embedded in the slime.\n\nWhen the \"current\" was high, a number of men are alleged to have salved one safe and made off with it.\n\nThey are accused of having pried it open. The report goes that they were arrested by detectives from No. 7 station when in the very act of dividing the contents.\n\nHousewives sent to the Dairy Farm, Wiseman's and Lane, Crawford's, only to find that there was nothing to be had.\n\nSome were expecting to do business at about 2 pm, but nothing was to be had all day.\n\nPhotos by Ice Fong.\n\nThis is a scene outside a Government market at Shek-tong-tsui, the Chinese quarter in the western part of the town. It is at the foot of the nullah below the pumping station. The rocks and rubble unloosened by the boulder have been swept down the nullah and accumulated in a pile, having \"jumped\" a high wall, on to the street.\n\n[No. 2998—July 22, 1926.]\n\nFREAK ARMOUR.\n\nAn ingenious device, as yet unheard of in Hongkong, has been adopted by up-country shipping, reported below:\n\n[From Our Own Correspondent.]\n\nPakkao, Kongmoon, July 17. The \"Tung Wo\" towboat has installed a set of machinery, comprising a system of iron netting which completely covers the ship and is charged with electricity. This is to safeguard against piratical attacks.\n\nAnother part of the defence consists of a powerful new searchlight on the towboat's bow.\n\nThe \"Tung Wo\" plies between Canton and Kongyick.\n\nA day after the \"Tung Wo's\" freak armour had been put on, pirates showed their utter contempt for such measures by successfully attacking the Shekki-Kongmoon towboat, when off Kongmei. The boat, all the cargo and passengers were taken away.\n\nNew Aircraft Carrier.\n\nOn July 14, we heard that Kwong Hoi had fallen into bandits' hands.\n\nMembers of the Kongmoon Red Cross who were attached to the punitive expedition lost all their effects, escaping with their lives only in the nick of time when the outlaws launched their offensive.\n\nAn armoured ship, as big as the ordinary Hongkong river steamboat, named the \"Chee Yau\" (meaning Liberty or Freedom) is acting as aircraft carrier for the Canton Government.\n\nIt arrived here on July 14 with an aeroplane from Canton, to be sent to Kwong Hoi to fight against bandits. The \"Chee Yau\" left the same day for Canton.\n\nGeneral Notes.\n\nH.M.S. \"Cicala\" arrived here on July 15. (This gunboat left and was at Macao on July 18.)\n\nOn July 14, the Customs launch \"Foo Moon\" arrived here with Col. F. Hayley Bell, Commissioner of Customs at Canton, and left with the Colonel on July 16.\n\nThe Sanwui magistrate has been ordered to provide 800 coolies for transport work with the Northern Expedition. The Tung Tak guild offered 400 volunteers.\n\nTelephone employees at Kongmoon are striking for higher pay. The service is being maintained and it is hoped that mediation will succeed.\n\nThe river flood has gone down gradually. On July 17, the sounding outside the Customs House was 9 feet 7 inches.\n\nNo. 2998—July 22, 1926.\n\nA MEDICINE DEAL.\n\nJuly 21.\n\nOVERLAND CHINA MAIL\n\nA curious dispute concerning a deal in medicines by the Yeung Yui Chung Medicine Depot of 201 Queen's Road Central, a firm having considerable interests throughout China and the Malay States, came before Mr. Justice Wood in the Summary Court this morning.\n\nThe above firm claimed for $299.16 for goods supplied to the Sui Cheong firm, of 41 Wing Lok Street.\n\nMr. Leo d'Almada represented the plaintiff firm and Mr. E. S. C. Brooks the defendant firm.\n\nMr. d'Almada explained that the plaintiffs had purchased the goodwill of the business from Yueng Wai-cheung, the former owner, for $3,000. There were certain subsidiary arrangements, one of which was that the purchasers were to provide Yueng with an annuity of $1,200, that they should have the right to use the figuration of Yueng's father (the founder of the business) on their trade labels, etc., that the Sui Cheong firm, defendants, should have certain concessions in dealings and that a debt of $1,000 owed by Yueng to the Sui Cheong should be paid by purchasers.\n\nThe terms under which the Sui Cheong was to obtain goods were that 45 per cent cash should be paid and 55 per cent discount allowed.\n\nPlaintiff went into the witness box and said that the agreement referred to by counsel had been drawn up in Mr. Hall Brutton's office.\n\nThe indebtedness of Yeung to the defendant firm had been met by the plaintiff firm. Goods had been supplied to the Sui Cheong firm on June 12 in accordance with order and payment was asked for by the foreman.\n\nHe was told that payment could not be made then but if he left the goods payment would be made later.\n\nThe bill submitted by the foreman was endorsed but on his return, the endorsement was erased by another representative of the Sui Cheong and the foreman was told that they had come to an arrangement with Yueng, whom they regarded as a partner of the firm, whereby they received 60 per cent discount.\n\nThe plaintiff denied that the chop on the receipt in question was the chop of the Yeung Yui Chung firm or that Yueng was a partner or had any authority to conduct transactions for the firm.\n\nHis Honour remarked that the whole point seemed to be as to whether Yueng was still a partner.\n\nYueng Wai-cheung gave evidence and deposed to being interested in the firm to the extent of $3,000 which had not been paid in full.\n\nA witness was called by the defendants who said that he was salesman and accountant of the Sui Cheong firm.\n\nHe understood he was a partner.\n\nMr. Brooks, in cross-examination of the plaintiff, asked him if it was not a fact that the purchase money was to be $6,000 and that only $3,000 of this had been paid.\n\nThis plaintiff denied.\n\nHe had then come to an arrangement with the plaintiff firm whereby he is to resume his interest in the business.\n\nHis Honour, after hearing further evidence, decided that there was no evidence as to Yeung being a partner and found for the plaintiffs with costs.\n\nPhoto by Ying Ming.\n\nHere is further evidence of the violence with which the death-dealing boulder charged down on the pumping station.\n\nThis is a nullah, by the public mortuary, all in confusion because of the debris which the landslide sent down.\n\nThe nullah leads from below the reservoir section to West Point.\n\nPhoto by A. Pong.\n\nOUR MAN SEIZED.\n\nJuly 21.\n\nA rumour is current in town that six Hongkong policemen have been \"captured\" by Canton strike pickets, together with a motor-boat, on the Samchun River.\n\nTwo of the six prisoners are members of the British section of the Force, viz., Lance-Sergeant Ryan and Lance-Sergeant Hughes, both attached to Lok-ma-chau station.\n\nThe other four were Chinese seamen, of the Water Police.\n\nThe motor-boat is also under the Water Police and is used regularly for patrolling the Samchun River.\n\nNo other information could be obtained, not even from people who had crossed the frontier and come in to Hongkong on the Kowloon-Canton Railway British section.\n\nIt is only known definitely that the men and launch were taken away by armed pickets.\n\nLok-ma-chau is the station that overlooks the frontier.\n\nBetween the New Territories and the Chinese district of Po On is the Samchun River, which is crossed by the steel bridge on which the railway runs.\n\nSamchun market is on the Chinese side of the border.\n\nA camp of strike pickets has been established there for a year.\n\nObviously some of their number met the Hongkong police launch, out on patrol on the river, and took them into custody.\n\nLater.\n\nThe \"capture\" was due entirely to the Police motor-boat running aground, on the Samchun River, during the flood.\n\nBoth the sergeants had gone ashore when the pickets took them into custody.\n\nThe boat was taken further up the River, and then into Chinese territory.\n\nA fairly strong detachment of infantry from the 1st Battalion, East Surrey Regiment, has been sent out to the frontier to recover the motor-boat and the captives.\n\nThe Peak Tram, at the Kennedy Road Bridge. On the left, the \"overhead track can be seen. The confusion in the middle and to the left shows why the delay is necessary.\n\nPage 364", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-493 - Governor Sir Clementi - 1926 [6-8].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 505462, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-497 - Public Offices - 1926", "page_number": 184, "title": "CO129-497 - Public Offices - 1926", "content_text": "# 5 Km hotel\n\nCustoms Dispute while the ordinary business during the recent \"The recent at the port at standstill.

A lecture room in the University has been set aside as a Chinese Library and Reading Room. Members of the public who are interested are cordially invited to come and see this room and to inspect the library.\n\nThese developments have been rendered possible by the generosity of Mr. Chang Wing and Mr. Liew Weng Chee, both of Kuala Lumpur, and the Executors of the Estate of the late Mr. Tye Kee Yoon of Penang. Students are now taking these advanced courses, and special instruction in translation from Chinese into English and from English into Chinese now forms a regular part of the Chinese course.\n\nA University Chinese Language School has also been started. The two Colonial cadets who have lately been appointed to Hong Kong by His Majesty's Secretary of State for the Colonies, and some others, are already starting to learn Cantonese in this school. The School is under the general direction of Mr. H. R. Wells; and Mr. Sung Hok Pang, senior Chinese master of Queen's College, Hong Kong, has been seconded by Government to work as a whole-time teacher in this school. The University authorities are now negotiating with the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce, with a view to arranging instruction at such hours as will be convenient for those who are working in offices but wish to acquire some facility in Cantonese.\n\nThe generally accepted method of learning Chinese is for each student to have a private personal teacher. This arrangement will continue, but there will also be class instruction; teachers will be selected and trained and their work will be supervised and directed. It is hoped that a real introduction to the study of the Chinese language will be given and that students will learn, in the early years of their study, the value of ancient Chinese literature, while at the same time they get an insight into modern literary style and methods.\n\nThe Language School aims not merely at giving instruction in Chinese and training teachers, but also at investigating the best method of teaching Chinese to those to whom it is not a mother tongue; and at the production of suitable text books. In this work, it is hoped that the School will have the assistance of all the members of the Chinese Department staff. If the Language School proves a success, it should be a boon to all those Britishers who come to Hong Kong with the intention of making China the scene of their life's work.\n\nBut the University has a much more far-reaching scheme for the advance of Chinese studies. It aims at creating a strong Chinese Department or School which may in time develop into a Chinese Faculty. This School will teach the Chinese Classics but it will also aspire to a comparative study of Chinese and western law, history, philosophy, literature, and art. The University has already a scheme for the comparative study of Chinese and Roman Law, but the University cannot proceed with this scheme for want of funds. Finally, the University has in view a Chinese language department of the Chinese School which, in addition to teaching Chinese to those to whom Chinese is not a mother tongue, may assist in the evolution of the Chinese language, especially as a medium of intercourse which shall be intelligible to all educated Chinese.\n\nAll these schemes aim at giving the Chinese an opportunity for an intensive and comparative study of their own history and culture. The days are past when any great country can live isolated from the rest of the world. The University dreams of training men and women who will be qualified to play a great part in the China of the future—scholars, capable of interpreting the West to China and China to the West.\n\nThere remains the necessity of money. To establish and endow a Chinese School, the University will require about $1,500,000 (Hong Kong). The University also wants a building in which to house the Chinese School and it is thought that the \n\n## \n\n106", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-501-2 Chinese situation- Boxer indemnity 5-2-1927 - 14-12-1927.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 508451, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-501-8 General policy in China 30-11-1926 - 30-11-1926", "page_number": 45, "title": "CO129-501-8 General policy in China 30-11-1926 - 30-11-1926", "content_text": "- 7 - \n\n49 \n\n(1) that the Customs Office be no longer permitted to collect duties in the Colony or its waters:\n\n(2) that all opium arriving in the Colony be accounted for either through the agency of bonded warehouses or otherwise:\n\n(3) that the Government do all in their power to protect the Chinese revenue, more especially with regard to the Opium Farmer:\n\n(4) that the revenue stations and revenue cruisers be moved beyond the limits of British territory and British waters.\n\n10.\n\nMeanwhile Sir R. Hart, in a letter to Sir C.M. Macdonald, His Majesty's Minister at Peking, dated the 27th June, 1898, recommended that in view of the leasing to Great Britain of the New Territories, \"the right of the Chinese Customs to maintain its office in Hong Kong, where it is now only unofficially acknowledged, ought to be formally admitted and the status of the Commissioner of Customs as a Chinese official recognized. The existing substations at Changchow, Capsuimo, Lai-chee-kok, and Fotochow ought to be maintained as at present, although they are in the leased territory. If it should be found that other stations are required, they may be instituted\". Upon these recommendations, Major-General W. Black, then Officer Administering the Government, wrote in despatch No. 221 of 1898 (Eadem Pun't no. 66) on the 29th July, 1898, to Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, strongly urging that \"the Chinese Customs be not formally accorded the right to maintain its office in Hong Kong, and that the Commissioner of Customs be not recognized as a Chinese official, but that he remain as at present without official status.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-501-8 General policy in China 30-11-1926 - 30-11-1926.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 508452, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-501-8 General policy in China 30-11-1926 - 30-11-1926", "page_number": 46, "title": "CO129-501-8 General policy in China 30-11-1926 - 30-11-1926", "content_text": "## 8.\n\n- \n50\n\nstatus of any kind\": and further that the existing sub-stations Changchow, Capsuimoon, Lai-chee-kok, and Fotochow should be removed to points outside the leased territory, as their retention would be a fruitful source of friction and would always be misconstrued by the Chinese mind. There were, as Major-General Black pointed out, many points both on the coast and on adjacent islands where the Chinese Customs could establish new stations.\n\n## 11.\n\nI can find no reply from the Colonial Office nor any communication from the British Legation on this subject: but, as a matter of history, the view of Major-General Black prevailed. The sub-stations of the Chinese Maritime Customs have been removed to Chinese territory at Sham-chun, Sha-tau-kok, and along the coast of Mirs Bay, while the officer of the Foreign Inspectorate, still called \"Commissioner of Customs for Kowloon and District\", remains to this day in Hong Kong island, only \"unofficially acknowledged\" in Sir R. Hart's phrase, with a residence at the Peak and an office in Victoria City.

REGISTRATION MUI TSAIS.\n\n(Continued from Page 4.)\n\nWe concentrate our attention on the problem of all problems, namely Mui-tsai and social evil. It is our heartfelt desire to fulfil our duty as citizens, to relieve poor innocent girls of their misery and to warn their oppressors against breaking the law. We cannot but hope that they will awaken to their duty to humanity and cease from doing evil. As long as the Mui-tsai system exists, it will be a blot on future local generations. It only remains for me to urge you to help uphold a good cause, and spare no pains to support great principles, to win over more members to the Society, and if possible, to report every possible case of cruelty so that the enforcement of registration of Mui-tsai may soon be an accomplished fact.\n\n## SECRETARY'S SPEECH.\n\nMr. J. D. Bush said the Chairman had touched on many valuable points in his speech, and no better figure could illustrate his undying devotion to the cause than that of the true knight of old, who was on his oath and honour to rescue and save his oppressed lady. He feels that it is as much his duty to defend the weak and redress the injured, as it is of the savage and the brutal to usurp and use others.\" Mr. Bush continued:—\n\n### Tribute to the S.C.A.\n\n\"In passing, it may be also mentioned that more gratifying results have been achieved than hitherto in representations made to the Secretariat for Chinese Affairs concerning cruelty or ill-treatment of Mui-tsai or bond girls. During the past six months, most cases have been taken up and examined with the quickest despatch.\n\n### Mrs. Haslewood on Registration.\n\nThe Chairman has dealt at length with the question of registration. It only remains for me to quote these words of Mrs. Haslewood, relating to the same issue, during a conference held at the British Commonwealth League. They urged registration. They said that it was the only way to find out how many there were, where they were, and how they were. They may be doing it now, but we have not heard so. At the docks, when the Chinese flow in from Canton, they should be made to register at once and not allowed to land unless they make a complete and true registration.' Then Mrs. Haslewood was asked the question, 'Is it true that there is a British officer whose job it is at the ports to ask certain girls who are being sold for definite purposes, whether they are satisfied with their conditions?' Mrs. Haslewood's reply was:- 'Absolutely true. They have been taught what to answer for weeks beforehand under the most dire penalties. There should be a Chinese Christian woman there to talk to these children, and assure them that they have nothing to fear if they tell the truth.' Another question was: 'Are there homes ready to receive the children?' to which Mrs. Haslewood replied:- 'There is a refuge (Po Leung Kok). It is a most soul-less official place, which no timid child would dream of going to. I begged years ago for a nice refuge, run by English people, who would try to help the children. It is badly needed.'\n\n\"I have no doubt many of you at this meeting can readily visualise in your mind's eye the mountains of difficulty surmounted and the stern trials met by the Chairman during the past eight years. In return for his efforts in this Steyphian task, he has reaped only invective and hatred and been branded, perhaps, as a fomenter of trouble. I make mention of this fact by way of telling you how un-deserved I am of the tribute that the Chairman has paid me. The credit rests entirely on him for devoting all his time and energy to this great task of emancipating the Mui-tsais of the Colony.\n\n### The March of Progress.\n\nAt this stage, it seems to me that the issue of abolishing the Mui-tsai system still hinges on the ancient struggle between 'may' and 'must,' the conservative and progressive. Those who insist on conservatism aim at holding fast or advancing at a snail's pace. The progressive reformer goes for the better, for the ideal. In short, one is inclined to lay stress on keeping still and the other on advancing. But advance we must, for that is the law of life. We must change for the better in every way, day by day. As the great American philosopher says, 'Over and above all the mists of poverty and appetite is the instinct of man to rise, and the instinct to love and help his brother.' The same philosopher also tells us, 'If slavery is good, then is lying, theft, arson, homicide each and all good, to be maintained by union societies.' As practical idealists we are bound to range on the side of humanity and Justice and burn our boats upon the review.\n\n### CANTON'S CO-OPERATION.\n\nIt was pointed out at the meeting that one of the arguments against registration was that it was difficult to enforce. If, for instance, a Chinese family came from Canton to Hong Kong, it would be difficult to differentiate between the daughter of the family and the Mui-tsai, and that would mean that every one would have to be stopped and questioned on the pier or landing place.\n\nThe answer to this objection, it was pointed out that in Hong Kong there are laws against smuggling and in order to prevent it an elaborate search system has been installed and heavy penalties inflicted when delinquents were caught. The same could be done with wilful evaders of registration. It was also pointed out that the authorities in Canton are working towards the amelioration of the position of the Mui-tsai and a Social Welfare Bureau had been recently established. The local body hoped to get in touch with both the Canton Government and the `Ruzer11`.\n\nThe Chinese secretary in reviewing the year's work pointed out that a number of people have shown their willingness to support the Society and some have written in offering their advice, amongst them being Mr. Yau Lit, who is now living in the New Territories, and who had once been a colleague of Dr. Sun Yat Sen.\n\n### No Better Solution Than Registration.\n\nIt is a question, then, whether the Mui-tsai shall be gradually emancipated, by finding the best solution possible, or let them go on being regarded as chattels or as pieces of money. We have time and again invited the best-thinking citizens of the Colony to offer a better solution than registration, but up to this moment none has ever come forward with a more effective remedy for the festering evil. Instead, some few carping critics have stood by the roadside croaking at us with this cynicism: 'Virtue, I have followed thee through life, and I find thee but a shadow.' As virile idealists we cannot allow the Mui-tsai system to be upheld for the convenience of a few. As the Chairman has intimated, we must not grow weary of well-doing. We should push on with the good work.\n\nSince the last annual meeting of October 22, 1928, the Society has been able to establish close co-operation with The Anti-Slavery and Aborigines Protection Society in London, and the British Commonwealth League, the primary object of which is \"To secure Equality of Liberties, Status and Opportunities between men and women in the British Commonwealth of Nations.

The Christian conscience of the civilized world has decided that slavery is an intolerable evil, and we as a Christian nation ought no longer to tolerate a real and practical slavery, by whatever term it may be called, to exist any longer under our flag.\n\nIt is the apathy and indifference of the greater number of British people here, that has permitted so old-fashioned an evil to continue. No human being should be able to own another. Least of all should these little girls be owned and bought and sold as is done here. It has long been our boast that our British Empire brings freedom, and technically, of course, slavery is not recognised anywhere within it; but for all practical purposes, slavery does exist here, as far as these poor little girls are concerned, and while such is the case, we have no right to boast that our flag is the symbol of freedom.\n\nIn this colony there are probably many thousands of these little girls, some of them sold by their parents, some of them stolen from their parents, and sold into slavery. Some of them are no doubt kindly treated, but many of them are not; some of them are grossly ill-treated; and even if they were all well-treated, it would be still a cruel injustice that they should not be free.\n\nWhile we enjoy our freedom and our pleasures and amusements, these poor children are at the beck and call of every member of the Chinese household into which they have been sold; crouching often in fear and terror from the blows and beatings so freely dealt out to them. It is an injustice in God's sight, and one which we should exert ourselves to bring to an end.\n\n\"Justice,\" said Edmund Burke, \"is itself the great standing policy of civil society, and any eminent departure from it, under any circumstances, lies under the suspicion of being no policy at all.\"\n\n\"These poor children,\" continued the preacher, \"with no knowledge of a parent's love, and knowing nothing of the pleasures of childhood, deserve our interest and compassion, and their very helplessness ought to arouse us all to take up their cause and see to it that this vile system of property in human beings is stopped. 'What doth the Lord thy God require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God.'\"\n\nThat was the text of his sermon.\n\nWell, we were very much aroused, as were many other people in the colony by this most courageous sermon, and we made further inquiries, both among the British residents and also among Chinese Christians. All that we heard bore out the sermon, and we were to be brought very soon into closer contact still with this appalling cruelty. Below the hotel in which we lived was a Chinese house, the owners of which had many of these girl slaves, one of them being a small child about eight years old.\n\nOne evening we were on the balcony overlooking this house, when we heard the most terrible screams from this little child, in which pain and terror were dominant. The owner of the hotel and his wife informed us that they had often heard similar sounds, as of someone in agony, coming from this house. We reported the matter immediately at the British Police station. The British sergeant said, \"It is probably a slave girl!\"\n\n44\n\nWe then brought the matter to the notice of the Chief of Police, the Secretary for Chinese affairs, and the Chaplain who had preached the sermon, and also to all the people we thought would be likely to feel the position to be unworthy of a British colony.\n\nFinally, I wrote a letter to the local press protesting against the system, and my husband was informed officially that he must stop my protests or relinquish his appointment. He chose to relinquish it rather than retain it on such conditions.\n\n79", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-516-7 The Mui-Tsai question- resolutions from individuals and Societies 5-5-1929 - 26-10-1929.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 519299, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-517-1 Administration and function of Chinese Maritime customs- prevention of smuggling across Chinese frontiers 7-2-1929 - 15-11-1929", "page_number": 91, "title": "CO129-517-1 Administration and function of Chinese Maritime customs- prevention of smuggling across Chinese frontiers 7-2-1929 - 15-11-1929", "content_text": "## \nMeanwhile Sir R.

These provisions have not subsequently been amended. The organisation and administration of the police service in this country are described in the accompanying printed memorandum.\n\nThe provisions of the Act of 1919 in question were enacted to give effect to the recommendation in paragraphs 80-82 of the Report of the (Desborough) Committee on the Police Service of England and Wales (1919) that means should be provided to enable the police to submit to the authorities, through their chosen representatives, representations with regard to any changes of pay or other matters affecting the service as a whole.\n\nIt will be observed that the scope of the Federation, as set out in section 1 of the Act, covers all matters of welfare and efficiency, other than questions of discipline and promotion affecting individuals, but membership is confined to men under the rank of Superintendent.

Early in 1929 I made certain representations to the Government on the subject and suggested the propriety of restoring the management of this important office to the Maritime Customs, in the general interest of China's credit at home and abroad, and we resumed charge of the establishment on the 16th June 1929 (vide Enclosure).\n\nIt is fitting for me to place on record here recent developments in respect of certain extra Native Customs Houses which have enhanced the prestige and strengthened the position of the Maritime Customs Service. Last August His Excellency the Minister of Finance instructed me to second officers from the Maritime Customs to take charge, on his behalf, of two important Native Customs offices - viz., Fengyang Kuan (formerly in Penghu, Anhwei), Kiangiwa, and Yangyu Kuan, the latter in Yangchow.

I may, however, express the opinion that the system it provides for, and more especially the recognised presence of a fully authorised Chinese Customs at Hong Kong, gives promise of enabling measures to be taken which will make the working of the West River trade, especially at those places of call to seawards of the first port (Samshui) considerably easier than at present; also, of securing arrangements which might facilitate the trade anticipated to grow up under the new inland steam navigation rules. In both respects anything which may be possible—and without a custom-house I do not see that much will be possible—is sure to redound to the commercial advantage of the Colony as well as of the Chinese trade. On this point, however, the occasion does not call upon me to say more at present.\n\nMY LORD,\n\nI have, &c.,\n\n(Signed)\n\nROBERT HART, Inspector General of Customs.\n\nNo. 381.\n\nLondon Chamber of Commerce to the Marquess of Salisbury.\n\nLONDON, November 11, 1898.\n\nI am directed to inform you that the East India and China Trade Section of this Chamber had under its consideration at its last meeting a communication from the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce, dealing at length with the terms of the Anglo-Chinese Convention to secure an extension of the boundaries of Hong Kong, signed at Peking on the 9th June last, and which have been made public, and regarding which the Hong Kong Chamber have, I understand, made representations to Her Majesty's Government.\n\nThe Hong Kong Chamber take strong objection to the clause of the Convention which provides that within the city of Kowloon the Chinese officials now stationed there shall continue to exercise jurisdiction, and that the existing landing-place near that city shall be reserved for the convenience of Chinese vessels.\n\nThis is regarded as tantamount to having a foreign authority exercising jurisdiction in British territory, and to the establishment of a Chinese port within Hong Kong Harbour for the use of Chinese war-vessels and Customs-cruisers, a position absolutely without parallel.\n\n461", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-521-13 Chinese Customs- proposed agreement with Hong Kong 27-8-1930 - 16-10-1930.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 522720, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-521-3 Piracy in Chinese waters- anti-piracy measures 9-4-1930 - 20-11-1930", "page_number": 5, "title": "CO129-521-3 Piracy in Chinese waters- anti-piracy measures 9-4-1930 - 20-11-1930", "content_text": "To.

Piers at Vancouver, B.C., just as he returned from the \"Empress of Russia\", where he had proceeded by means of a small collapsible boat on the evening of May 18th, 1929. The Mounted Police, however, had found out that both of these men, with their wives, had unquestionably been engaged in this traffic for some months past, and that the women, by using Opium jackets, had undoubtedly smuggled Opium down the gangplank of the \"Empresses\" though this fact was not susceptible of proof in court, and it was largely to protect the women that both men pleaded guilty.\n\nOne of these men was interviewed in Oakalla Jail, and upon being assured that it was not the intention to prosecute the women, he made a fairly complete statement, several points of which were susceptible of corroboration from outside sources, and promised to arrange that the women themselves would tell all they knew.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-522-1 Illicit traffic in Chinese opium 7-12-1929 - 29-10-1930.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 523793, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-523-12 Currency situation 17-2-1930 - 9-7-1930", "page_number": 47, "title": "CO129-523-12 Currency situation 17-2-1930 - 9-7-1930", "content_text": "Hong Kong\n\n16\n\nWeekly Press InT\n\n47\n\nApril 11, 1930.\n\nSo John Campbell\n\nMeffitir\n\n1/3\n\nSee\n\nThanks\n\nomeny\n\nthis.\n\nlike 10\n\nM Gent.\n\n16/4/80\n\n15.5.\n\nM\n\n[April 11, 1930\n\nCURRENCY INQUIRY.\n\nPRELIMINARY MEETING OF\n\nCOMMITTEE\n\nA STRANGE ANNOUNCEMENT.\n\nThe Colonial Secretary informs us that the preliminary meeting of the Currency Committee was held on April 7, when details of the procedure to be followed by the Committee in the conduct of its inquiry were settled.\n\nThe meeting was unanimously agreed in the opinion that no reason had hitherto appeared to show that the use by Hong Kong of a currency based on any other metallic standard of value than that prevailing in the neighbouring country of China would be anything but detrimental to the interests of the Colony.\n\nWhile this view agrees with our own opinion on the subject, it seems somewhat strange that a Committee appointed to conduct an inquiry into a controversial subject should commence its labours by a declaration which prejudges the gold versus silver issue.\n\nThe public are invited to submit views to the Committee on the terms of reference, the first of which reads: \"Is the present currency the most advantageous for the purposes of the trade of this Colony?\" In the official statement from the Colonial Secretary, we find the Committee's answer to this question before a single witness has been heard! Surely, it is premature at this stage for the Committee to make any statement whatever beyond an expression of its willingness to hear all sides.\n\nKnowing now that the Currency Committee is unanimously of opinion that any other metallic standard of currency than silver would be detrimental to the interests of the Colony, advocates of a gold standard are not likely to come forward very readily with arguments in support of their views. The position is analogous to a Licensing Board, composed of men unanimously opposed to the drink traffic, inviting the public to give evidence in favour of granting liquor-licences.\n\nMeanwhile, what decision, if any, has the Committee come to in regard to admitting the Press when witnesses are giving evidence?\n\nin the > ale whee\n\nthe", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-523-12 Currency situation 17-2-1930 - 9-7-1930.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 523955, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-523-3 Appointment of Chief Justice and Attorney General 31-1-1930 - 19-2-1931", "page_number": 13, "title": "CO129-523-3 Appointment of Chief Justice and Attorney General 31-1-1930 - 19-2-1931", "content_text": "G\n\n13\n\nDESTROYED UNDER\n\nI have no hesitation in saying that I think\n\nHong Kong would be fortunate to secure him\n\nas its Attorney General.\n\nI agree\n\nSec of State.\n\nJR\n\n29.9.30.\n\n8.8. 30.9.00\n\nMay the appointment\n\nbe offered to me laissez?\n\n8.16\n\n1.1930\n\nVer pillo 1/10\n\nTelegram as in draft.\n\nCarry\n\n4\n\nMr Pun's file)\n\nI have with mentioned C.M.

THE GOVERNOR'S SPEECH.\n\nAfter the scholarship winners had been presented His Excellency addressed Congregation as follows:-\n\nStanding before you to-day, as your Chancellor, I cannot but ask myself what is the special contribution which this University should make to Hong Kong, to China, to the world?—and I beg you to bear with me while I endeavour in the fewest possible words to answer these 'obstinate questionings.'\n\nAt the outset let me remind you that the Colony of Hong Kong is the principal meeting-ground of the British and Chinese civilizations. Here, therefore, better than anywhere else on the face of the earth, the Chinese may learn those lessons which Great Britain can teach them! and Britishers may study things Chinese.\n\nNow, if two foreign peoples are to understand one another, they must begin by learning each other's languages, reading each other's literature and history, and familiarizing themselves with each other's manners and customs. So I venture to suggest that the most important contribution which the Hong Kong University can make to this Colony is to afford Britishers the opportunity of associating with Chinese students and learning their language, their modes of thought and habits of life, while at the same time offering Chinese students every facility for acquainting themselves thoroughly with all things British.\n\nA Bond Of Union.\n\nThis University should be par excellence the bond of union between the two races by whose co-operation Hong Kong has been converted within less than a century from a barren island into one of the greatest shipping ports of the world.\n\nHere should be the centre not only of the highest intellectual life, but of the best social life of the Colony. Thus will whatever is most valuable in the two civilizations - British and Chinese - be fused, fashioned and adapted by your efforts for the special needs of Hong Kong.\n\nThe chief contribution of this University to China should, I think, be the interpretation of British ideals, civic, ethical and educational, to the Chinese people and the promotion of Anglo-Chinese friendship. It is indeed expressly laid down in the Hong Kong Ordinance, by which this University was incorporated, that one of its objects was to be the maintenance of the good understanding with the neighbouring country of China.'

In the Annual Examination, 79% of those presented in Class 4 were successful, and of the rest of the school, 92% merited promotion.\n\nYaumati School. The maximum enrolment was 274 and the average attendance 255, a very satisfactory figure in view of the prevalence of malaria in the New Territories, where a considerable proportion of the pupils reside.\n\nThe New Method Readers, which are now being generally used in Government Schools, have been introduced into this School. In Class 4, the percentage of passes was 49 and throughout the remaining classes, 92.\n\nAn exhibition of Drawings, Maps, and Handwork done by the pupils during the Summer holidays, was held in September.\n\nWantsai School.

It acts as a feeder for Wantsai School and prepares boys for admission to Class 5 in that school.\n\nThe maximum enrolment at Taipo School last year rose to 124 (92 in 1929), and the average attendance to 93.\n\nThe result of the year's work was good, and the health of the pupils satisfactory.\n\nUn Long School. The maximum enrolment was 63 and the average attendance 46 (almost exactly the same figures as for 1929). The school is now housed in the Pok Ngoi Hospital, pending the completion of the new school premises.\n\n## 19\n\nCheung Chau School. The maximum enrolment was 81 and the average attendance 69. This shows an increase on the figures for 1929, due to the institution of a new class.\n\nEllis Kadoorie School for Indians.—The maximum enrolment was 136 and the average attendance 126. Mr. A. T. Hamilton was Headmaster during the year under review, and the general work and discipline were very good. 12 boys out of 16 in Class 4 passed the appropriate examination; and 89% of the rest of the school earned promotion.\n\nBelilios Public School. Head Mistress, Miss H. F. Skinner.\n\nThe maximum enrolment was 609, and the average attendance 548.\n\nThe standard in English is being gradually raised with a corresponding lowering in the percentages of passes and promotions. 13 were presented for the Matriculation and Senior Local Examinations, and of these, 2 passed the former and 5 the latter.

Mr. G. F. Nightingale, the Headmaster, forecasts still further additions when the new School is available. Although several cases of measles, influenza, and malaria were reported, the health of the pupils was generally satisfactory; and the efficiency of the school as measured by examination results is very high.\n\nMarked success was exhibited in the Royal Drawing Society Examinations, 3 of the candidates from this school gaining \"Full\" School Certificates, and 60 being awarded Honours Certificates.\n\nThe School buildings have been slightly extended by the addition of increased lavatory, cloakroom, and Domestic Economy accommodation.\n\nTwo former pupils passed the London Matriculation Examinations. One other, G. G. Edwards, son of Mr. E. J. Edwards, Headmaster of Wantsai School, had the distinction of being awarded his Association Football \"Blue\" for Cambridge University, where he is in residence.\n\n## 29\n\n1", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-530-2 Advisory Committee on Education in the Colonies- Hong Kong education report 1930 23-12-1930 - 12-10-1931.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 528061, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-531-10 Hong Kong University- encouragement of Chinese students to counteract American influence 30-5-1931 - 1-9-1931", "page_number": 16, "title": "CO129-531-10 Hong Kong University- encouragement of Chinese students to counteract American influence 30-5-1931 - 1-9-1931", "content_text": "## \n16 paper is hot about the Quis of Ith Univ? but about Students in 165 LK.

Reserve\n\nre\n\n## Step 1\nThe task requires proofreading OCR output of historical records related to Hong Kong, transforming the text into standard Markdown, correcting spelling errors, fixing spacing issues, rejoining broken sentences, restoring paragraph breaks, indicating missing words, and following specific formatting rules.\n\n## Step 2\nThe given text appears to be a mix of articles, news, and advertisements from a newspaper, likely the South China Morning Post, dated October 23, 1931. The text includes various topics such as legislative council meetings, budget debates, international news, and advertisements.\n\n## Step 3\nTo begin proofreading, we first need to identify and correct obvious OCR errors, such as misrecognized characters, incorrect spacing, and broken words.\n\n## Step 4\nUpon examining the text, numerous OCR errors are evident, including misspellings like \"zivil Hrvata\" which should be corrected to \"civil servants,\" \"éézust ruta\" to \"certain route,\" and \"kačzoaning\" to a more plausible word, possibly \"causing.\"\n\n## Step 5\nThe text also contains formatting issues, such as incorrect paragraph breaks and missing or extra spaces. For example, \"Page 13. „Duging yesterday'ı, Kadynt debati\" should be formatted as a header or title indicating a page break and the start of a new section or article.\n\n## Step 6\nSome sentences are broken across lines or columns without logical reason, and these need to be rejoined. For instance, sentences discussing the budget debate and legislative council decisions are fragmented and require reassembly.\n\n## Step 7\nThe text includes advertisements and news articles that need to be formatted correctly. Advertisements like \"Start-Rite Shoes\" and \"PEBECO TOOTH-PASTE\" should be identified and formatted as such.\n\n## Step 8\nFile references and page numbering need to be formatted according to the rules. For example, \"XCR (85)72\" should be \"XCR(85)72,\" and \"Page XX\" lines should be preserved as they are, indicating page breaks.\n\n## Step 9\nGiven the complexity and the volume of the text, a detailed, line-by-line correction is necessary to ensure accuracy and adherence to the specified formatting rules.\n\n## Step 10\nThe final output should be in HTML format using for paragraphs and \n only when necessary, without including markdown or code fences.\n\nThe final answer is: \n\nPage 13. „During yesterday's, Kadynt debate\n\nCod dem not the proposal, 14 ver the pay of sterling-peld civil servants at certain ruta af sochasDa asi anked fer KE KEPONIE PODKL Awan takım oy an Ammand-maxi, which was Zen, and the Brages ww carried\n\nPage 14\n\nUnofficial members of the Legislative Council\n\nFor the purpose of balancing the budget\n\nBetween the District Officer, Coast and the inhabitants' bone where he met tarday approved, caution fr North of people—savants, buningan | varying tobaccoena duchas, causing the a patamal degree where exte They reduction affects part of | magsales, lawyers, artista, bazzara | duties on light via and imponing a irritation would have been par- the Army and leave saulker per- and above all the economy of the duty on non-intrecasting latach, donable.

P. Minett who for many years had been Lecturer in Medical Jurisprudence & Public Health and a member of the Board of the Faculty. His work was taken over by Dr. Greaves of the Bacteriological Institute. Dr. Greaves together with Dr. Begbie, Major Rowlette, R.A.M.C., Dr. J. W. Anderson and Dr. Guzdar, also carried out the work of the Pathology and Bacteriology Department before the arrival of Professor Davis.\n\nProfessor Digby proceeded on leave in November and his work in the Surgery Department and in the Hospital was taken over by Dr. I. Newton, Superintendent of the Government Civil Hospital and by Dr. Hsiu.\n\nNew Regulations.\n\nThe new regulations passed by the Faculty in 1930 were brought into force during the past year and for the first time a therapeutics and pharmacy examination was held as part of the 4th Degree Examination. The examination in Junior Pathology was dispensed with and Pharmacology was merged into Physiology.\n\nIt has now been arranged to give a special course of practical pharmacy at the Government Civil Hospital under the guidance of Mr. Shand, the Hospital Apothecary. The course, which is held two afternoons a week, is attended by students who are acting as anæsthetic clerks. A new clinical appointment has been instituted, namely that of Radiology & Venereal Diseases; this appointment is to be held annually for a period of three months by a succession of students who thus receive instruction in Radiology for six weeks and instruction in Venereal Diseases for the remaining six weeks.\n\nBoxer Indemnity.\n\nThe receipt by the University of a contribution from the Boxer Indemnity gave the Faculty the chance to recommend most of the some long-delayed and necessary improvements. recommendations provide for further increases in the Junior Staff, the object being to give our graduates more opportunity for post-graduate study and teaching experience.\n\n11th March, 1932.\n\nL.

Other portraits hang in the Great Hall, for every subscriber of $50,000 is entitled to have a portrait or bust of himself set up there, but they are all coloured photographs.\n\nIn 1926 the University's senior lecturer in Chinese (a Hanlin) and the Vice-Chancellor visited Malaya. Thanks to the generosity of Mr. Chan Wing and Mr. Lai Weng Chee of Kuala Lumpur and of the Executors of the Estate of Mr. Tye Kee Yoon of Penang a sum of H.K. $40,000 was collected. Further contributions were received from Mr. Ng Wah and Mr. Kwok Chung Yeung of this Colony. It was decided to do something at once to improve the teaching of Chinese. These collections were therefore not invested, but spent on buying Chinese books and on providing for the teaching in the Arts Faculty of Chinese Language and Literature up to the degree stage.\n\nDuring 1928 a sum of $170,000 was collected mainly through the efforts of the Hon. Sir Shou-son Chow and the Hon. Mr. R. H. Kotewall for a Chinese School. This sum was subsequently increased to $200,000. During the same year, Mr. Tang Chi Ngong contributed $60,000 towards a building for the Chinese School. On the 28th September, 1931, His Excellency the Governor opened the Tang Chi Ngong School of Chinese.\n\nEarly in 1929 the University received a donation of $120,000 from Mr. Fung Ping Shan for a Chinese Library. The original gift was $100,000 for the building and $20,000 for the Library's endowment, but Mr. Fung subsequently increased the endowment to $50,000. At the same time he made himself responsible for the equipment and furnishing of the library. Mr. Fung died on the 31st August, 1931, but his widow accepted the full obligation. The library, which was opened by His Excellency the Governor on the 14th December, 1932, is to be open to the public. The University has already transferred to this building its Chinese library of some 31,000 volumes.\n\nWhen the University started, the Church Missionary Society placed St. John's Hall at its disposal. Lugard Hall was opened in 1913, Eliot Hall in 1914, and May Hall in 1915; these three hostels are maintained by the University and controlled by resident wardens who are members of the University staff. In 1913 the London Missionary Society opened Morrison Hall. On the 16th December, 1929, Ricci Hall was opened by the Governor. This hostel was provided by, and is under the management of, the Jesuit Fathers of the English Assistancy. When in September 1921 the University first opened its classes to women, some accommodation for these students was provided at St. Stephen's Girls' College and at the Italian Convent. A small hostel in rented premises for women students was subsequently provided and is still maintained by the Church Missionary Society.\n\nSir William Peel became Governor of Hong Kong and the University's Chancellor at a time when the University was passing through a grave financial crisis.\n\nSIR WILLIAM PEEL, K.C.M.G., K.B.E.

The price is 16 shillings, and British people can obtain copies from the authorised agents, George Allen and Unwin, Ltd., 40 Museum-street, London, W.C.1. The Travelling Commission started their investigations, sailing from Marseilles on October 9th, 1930, and concluded their itinerary on March 16th, 1932, after visiting many of the principal centres in the Far East. A debt of gratitude is due to the members of the Travelling Commission for the care and labour shown in making their investigations and for compiling this voluminous report. It consists of 527 pages of vital information concerning the widespread traffic in human flesh and blood that prevails to-day. The report is appallingly tragic in its revelations.\n\nMost countries in the Far East or Near East have been willing to assist the Commission, and reveal something of the terrible conditions of helpless women and children bartered for gain. The rest of the East has offered a sufficiently wide scope for the labours of the Travelling Commission. We wish it were possible in these days for the Daily Press, forever seeking new worlds of sensation to conquer, to delve into this Report and give the facts to the world. Streamer headlines dealing with the manner in which Chinese children are bought and sold in China might not be good politics, but they would make a bit of a stir in Britain. The widespread traffic in girls in Japan might not be a subject calculated to please, but it might stir Western women to some form of concerted action. The Report pleads for the support of public opinion, but how that public opinion is to be enlightened remains to be discovered.\n\nThe significant and awful fact that is forced upon one by reading the lines, and between the lines, of this stupendous volume is that slavery of women and girls is looked upon as being of another order to slavery of men. The god of lust reigns and rules in the dark habitations, and helpless women and children are bartered in multitudes to satisfy the sensuality of men. That is the plain and unmistakable fact that will impress itself upon all who will obtain this Report and read. We would ask that all men and women of goodwill who are in any way able to influence public opinion would obtain a copy.\n\nThe Commission visited Port Said, Jerusalem, Jaffa, Beirout, Damascus, Bagdad, Teheran, Bushire, Karachi, Bombay, Colombo, Pondicherry, Madras, Deli, Calcutta, Rangoon, Penang, Port Swettenham, Kuala Lumpur, Johore, Bangkok, Pnom Penh, Saigon-Cholon, Batavia, Semarang, Surabaya, Macassar, Manila, Turane, Hanoi, Haiphong, Macao, Canton, Hongkong, Swatow, Amoy, Foochow, Nanking, Shanghai, Chefoo, Port Arthur, Tientsin, Pekin, Dairen, Moukden, Harbin, Anting, Keijo, Fusan, Nagasaki, Shimonoseki, Osaka, Kobe, Kioto, Yokohama, and Tokio. As one glances at the information provided, the prayer of the Psalmist arises instinctively: \"O let the sorrowful sighing of the prisoners come before Thee; according to the greatness of Thy power, preserve Thou those that are appointed to die.\"\n\n### Slavery Centenary Celebrations\n\nWe understand that the Methodist Conference has passed a resolution that all her ministers shall preach on the slavery question on the last Sunday in July next. That is an encouraging sign and indicates that one of the great Christian churches is awakening to a sense of responsibility in the matter of slave-liberation. We feel, however, that there must be much perplexity to the minds of those who are asked to speak on this subject. Vast is the scope of enquiry and realm of investigation. We feel strongly, too, that very few are able to speak with knowledge concerning the extent and nature of slavery that is rampant to-day. The danger is that the Slavery Centenary celebrations may convey to a large number of people the impression that things are much better than they are. To some of us, it seems a mockery to celebrate the Centenary of Slave Abolition under the British flag if due prominence is not given to the fact that there is still considerable slavery under the British flag.\n\nLet the facts be made known concerning Hong Kong. Let those who are under the impression that there is no slavery under the British flag read the report of the League of Nations' Commission to which we have already referred. It is not a difficult matter to search out the names of British possessions and read what is said concerning them. We write these few observations with real grief. How can we pat ourselves on the back, metaphorically, for that which our forefathers have done if we refrain from following their lead? This is not a time for soft words and pious phrases, but for plain truth. \"From the liberality that says everybody is right, from the charity which forbids us to say that anybody is wrong, from the peace which is bought at the expense of truth, may the good Lord deliver us.\"\n\n### Christian Assyrians Find a Refuge\n\nAt the time of the Mosul Boundary dispute, we ventured to observe that there was a real danger to the Christian communities in Irak if ever the British left that country. The reports of General Laidoner sent out by the League of Nations at the time were plain evidence that massacre and enslavement had taken place just previously. Irak has now become a member of the League, and the British have all but gone. The Assyrians, with the Armenians, were our faithful allies at the time of the Great War, but it has been left to Persia to offer this gallant little nation a refuge. The Assyrian Christians are fearful of their future security in Irak, so they are trekking to Persia, where they are assured security from persecution.\n\nAt Geneva, in 1924, we heard a passionate appeal by their youthful spokesman. It was a plea to the representatives of the Near East Conference to urge their need for security. The Western nations have, however, been unable to find them a place of sanctuary. Persia welcomes them. Our Armenian Allies were left to their fate by the Western Nations, but found a refuge for their remnant in the Caucasus. Strange that Russia and Persia should find homes for the two most ancient Christian races. We were privileged to meet the representative of the Assyrians at Geneva in 1924 and hear his case.\n\nLike their Armenian brothers, they can sing:\n\"I will not be a heathen.\nI will not be a slave.\nIf I cannot find a Christian home,\nI'll find a Christian grave.\"\n\n### Freeing the Slaves: Sir John Simon's Remarkable Figures\n\nSir John Simon was among the speakers at a complimentary luncheon given on Tuesday in London to Mr. John H. Harris, the Parliamentary Secretary to the Anti-Slavery and Aborigines' Protection Society, who received a knighthood in the New Year's Honours.\n\nSir John said that Mr. Harris went to the Foreign Office when and as often as he found it necessary in connection with his anti-slavery work with that degree of persistence which is necessary if you want to get through the outer covering of any Government department. Mr. Harris said that within the last 20 years, not fewer than 465,389 slaves had been liberated. The British Foreign Office, during the last 100 years, had framed and negotiated with other Powers over 650 anti-slavery treaties. It was estimated that during the same period, Great Britain had spent over £50,000,000 in police work against the slave trade on the high seas.\n\nNow, as a result of work done at Geneva during the past 10 years, that burden had been shifted from the national shoulders to those of 60 nations, who were now, by a solemn instrument, bound to undertake collectively the task of the emancipation of at least 5,000,000 slaves.\n\nGreat and beneficent has been the work of The Anti-Slavery Society, and it is in no spirit of captious criticism that we suggest that celebrating the Centenary of the Abolition of Slavery within Possessions, its speakers will deal frankly with the condition of affairs in Hong Kong, where thousands of children are still bought and sold. We also further respectfully suggest that the slavery of women should be given as much prominence as the slavery of men. Why should the so-called White Slave Traffic, or the Traffic in Women and Children, be treated on any different basis to the Red Sea Slave Traffic?\n\nEarl Buxton presided, and the Archbishop of Canterbury was amongst those present.\n\n### Slavery in the World To-day\n#### By the Rev. JOHN R. PALMER, Lit.D.\n\nSlavery! Slavery! Can it be that it exists in the world of human beings to-day? In past ages, yes, but the world then was not half civilised; nearly all nations, even of Europe, were, as far as civilisation goes, in much the same state as \"the backward races,\" so called, of the East to-day. But now we are well on in the twentieth century of Christianity! We have at least reached a state, with all our shortcomings, in which civilised, to say nothing of Christian nations, might reasonably be expected to show \"a more excellent way\" of treating those classes of the human race which are commonly regarded as its most backward representatives.\n\nIs that our aim and endeavour? Are we trying at all times and everywhere to do that, and nothing less, in the world to-day? If so, Slavery should soon be a thing of the Past. But the opposite of this is true, and has been for centuries. Although a modern writer says: \"In the Roman Empire, slavery was a recognised and regular institution... To-day Christians do not tolerate slavery.\" Would that it were so, as far as all Christian nations are concerned.\n\nBut what of the White Slave Traffic in our own and other lands, from which its victims seldom, if ever, escape? What is the awful record of it which the National Vigilance Association is able to furnish? Of young girls snatched from home and friends, ensnared by the most insidious means on the streets and elsewhere, then lost, and doomed almost hopelessly to a life of shame and suffering. And to-day it still goes on in defiance of all efforts to check the diabolical traffic, because the subtle devices of the entrepreneur prevail.\n\nThis form of Slavery for immoral purposes is responsible in London and elsewhere for the loss to home and friends of scores of decent and respectable girls every year, while in Japan many commit suicide to avoid falling a prey to this hideous thraldom.\n\nAnd it is an indisputable fact that in India, all the circumstances of the enforced conjugal relationships in which thousands of young girls, mere children, find themselves, are nothing less than Slavery. We speak of the age-long \"custom and practices of such lands and races,\" but it has been truly said that \"the deadliest form of humanity is the deadening power of custom.\" The question is, are we, as a Christian nation, doing all in our power to discourage such practices?\n\nWhat of Slavery and the Slave Trade proper? We speak of our emancipation of the slaves a century ago, and of our more recent efforts to put down various forms of slavery in different places. But what are the facts as to the number of slaves now in the world to-day? It has been estimated that there are from four to six millions, exclusive of the quarter of a million Soviet Slaves, whose condition to-day is that of \"poorly clad, badly housed, and half-starved human chattels,\" and who are \"authorised\" by corps of the Ogpu (secret police) agents, and by men like \"Rakovsky, the notorious Chekist and executioner.\" In fact, under its murderous Communist despots, almost the whole of Russia is forced labour.\n\nAt Odessa, men have been obliged to work in \"shifts\" of five days under armed sentries, with little time for sleep, and women fourteen hours a day. There is a cry of distress in such facts to which no reasonable and intelligent being can be deaf! Nor is it only the poor and working class that is oppressed and terrorised in Russia to-day, but thousands of all classes who have known both of \"life's opposite poles\" of luxury and poverty, \"the loneliness and the fellowship that exist in a generation.\"\n\nAgain, in the slow march of a hundred years or more, how little has been done by nations to put down the Slave Trade. It was condemned by the Treaty of Vienna in 1815, and our forefathers regarded past efforts as only a preliminary move to future and more complete measures of emancipation. And yet to-day there are \"still five millions of human chattels\" in the world. Well may the Archbishop of Canterbury say that Slavery is \"the open sore of the world!\"\n\nIn Abyssinia alone, there are now two millions of people bought and sold as human merchandise! Slavery still survives in Sierra Leone. In Burma (India), it is widespread over almost the whole of China. Branding on lips, face, and hands, and other cruelties, are still practised in this abominable institution, while \"hundreds of girl slaves have been seen on the march, chained together and whipped like cattle by Arabian traders.\" In Liberia, the condition of Slaves is terrible; they are often to be seen in chains and collars.\n\nThe lot of the poor African slave down all the ages has been pitiable in the extreme, while some of the worst features are manifest in the Slavery carried on in Japan. And even in Kenya, under the British flag, not only have the natives \"no legal right in their own land,\" but forced labour is widespread everywhere, which at the best is but poorly disguised Slavery. In Kenya, \"the link is snapped between the African farmer and his land. His relation to the soil is reduced almost to that of a serf to the white settler.\" No wonder that we have reason to fear, as many do, the final results of the \"Clash of Colour.\"\n\nMoreover, \"Great Britain is committed to the principle of trusteeship for the economic, moral, and social progress of the African.\" It is, therefore, up to us not to allow Slavery under our flag, but to see that, as far as possible:\n\"These things shall be! A loftier race\nThan ere the world has known shall rise,\nWith flame of freedom in their souls,\nAnd light of knowledge in their eyes.\"\n\n### Summary of the Report on the Traffic in Women and Children in the Far East\n\nThis is a useful summary of the recently published report of the Commission appointed by the League of Nations to enquire into the Traffic in Women and Children in the Far East. The complete report, which consists of 527 pages, costs 16 shillings. This pamphlet sums up in 28 pages the results of the investigations of the Commissioners in the various countries visited, which include Ceylon, China, India, Irak, Japan, Malaya, Manchuria, Palestine, Persia, Siam, and Syria. It should be invaluable to those who have to study or speak on this subject.\n\n### Make Me Kind\n#### By DUNCAN MCNEIL\n\nSo many hearts are breaking,\nAnd many more are aching,\nTo hear the tender word.\nGod make me kind!\n\nFor I myself am learning\nThat my sad heart is yearning\nFor some sweet word to heal my hurt.\nO Lord, do make me kind.\n\nGod make me kind!\nSo many hearts are needing\nThe balm to stop the bleeding\nThat my kind words can bring.\nGod make me kind!\n\nFor I am also seeking\nThe cure in some one's keeping\nThey should impart to my sick heart.\nO Lord, do make me kind.\n\nGod make me kind!\nSo many hearts are lonely\nAnd asking for this only,\nThe kind and tender word.\nGod make me kind!\n\nTo all who mutely ask it,\nBefore they fill the casket,\nOr bouquets may be wreaths one day.\nO Lord, do make me kind.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-542-10 Mui Tsai system- correspondence from private individuals 13-1-1933 - 11-12-1933.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 536227, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-542-12 Smuggling from Hong Kong into China 21-1-1933 - 21-8-1933", "page_number": 20, "title": "CO129-542-12 Smuggling from Hong Kong into China 21-1-1933 - 21-8-1933", "content_text": "## \n4 \n\nTwo reply to 30% \n317 \n\nWait another month \n\nHan Jameson \n\n47.33 \n\nMhee \n\n4/7 \n\n泄 \n\nhow remind. \n\n4% \n\n40% H.1.

Recently the Public Works Departments were making certain repairs to the hinges of one wing of this latter door and as a result threw out of alignment the door so that the lock would not work effectively until the person locking the door had raised one section of the winged door. I understand from Mr. Hynes that the mail clerk on arrival on the morning of the robbery found this door securely locked indicating that when last locked the peculiar action necessary to secure it had been performed, and suggesting that no one had passed through that doorway since it was fastened the previous night by the mail clerk.\n\n4. In view of the foregoing facts as furnished me by the Superintendent of Mails it would appear that the key of this safe, which should contain value amounting to $3,860, is never in possession of any senior officer whose duties include the custody or control of cash. The duties of the senior mail clerk and the Superintendent of Mails, I assume, do not have any connection with the accuracy of the cash and stamp holdings of the shroffs. It would appear to be a reasonable inference that such duties are embodied in the responsibilities of the Postal Accountant who should retain the key in his personal possession and open and close the safe daily after seeing that each shroff had removed or replaced his locked receptacle in the safe.\n\n5. Any system which permits the key of the safe to remain during business hours in the lock of the safe, I submit, invites robbery by providing the means for securing a duplicate key by impression.\n\nThe\n\nPage 9\n\n## (3)\n\nThe practice of permitting any shroff to close and lock the safe should be discontinued. Such duty would appear to be that of the officer responsible for the safe custody of the cash. I would make an additional recommendation, not specifically designed as an outcome of this robbery, each shroff should be provided with a small passbook and be required to enter therein each day after close of business the details of his stamp and cash holdings. This record would be valuable, especially so had it been in force at the time of this event.\n\nFinally, I would invite reference to Colonial Regulation 207 which prescribes \"that no officer will be relieved of any portion of his responsibility should he depute to his subordinates the performance of duties which he should have performed himself\" I submit that this regulation is applicable in respect of the system in force for the custody of stamp imprests in charge of Postal Shroffs.\n\n(Sgd) P.J.A.

There is no indication in these Ordinances as to the sources from which the Urban Council is to derive its funds for the payment of its numerous inspectors and for the carrying out of its manifold duties. If it were a strictly Municipal body it would, presumably, have the power to levy rates sufficient for its duties, and to that extent those Municipal rates would take the place of the Government Revenues which have hitherto been dispersed by the Sanitary Department. These latter revenues have been assessable to Defence Contribution, whereas e.g. in the Straits Settlements Municipal revenues are not so assessable. It is possible that the Urban Council in Hong Kong will dispense such funds as may be voted for its purposes, out of the Government revenues, in which case they will continue to be used for Defence Contribution, But I think we should be justified in asking Hong Kong for a definite statement on this point since it would seem that the War Office would otherwise have a legitimate complaint against us if we approved a new organization resulting in a substantial reduction in the assessable revenue of Hong Kong, without previously consulting or even informing them.\n\nI suggest, therefore, that in sanctioning these Ordinances we should inform the Governor that the Secretary of State presumes that the funds to be made available for the operation of the Urban Council will be Government revenues voted for the purpose by the Legislative Council in the annual budget, and subject to assessment for Defence Contribution.\n\nPage 9\n\nNo Comments\n\nChrygn.\n\n30/4\n\nNo comments\n\nayeshmen\n\n27/5\n\nMbout 23/4\n\nСодом.\n\n1.5\n\nIt seems clear that the executive powers which the Urban Council is to control will be exercised by the Sanitary Department, which will presumably be financed by the Government of Hong Kong. As the revenues of the Government are derived in large part from assessments on property, which in other Colonies would be collected by a municipal authority, I do not see how this is to be avoided; and there is really no room in Hong Kong for two revenue-collecting bodies. On the other hand, the Urban Council would seem to be vested with the power of spending money for the collection of which they are not responsible. I think we must enquire as Ir suggests.\n\nOne small point: the proviso to Art. 2(4)(j) excludes government officers from the franchise for the Urban Council. I am not sure that this is justifiable, and I would ask the Governor whether there is any real ground for their exclusion.\n\nPage 9\n\nPage A.\n\nI believe that Sir J.

It is then further refined by local tin refiners by a liquation method; in the case of No.1 Chinese Tin to 99% or over. The refined tin is usually cast in 1 cwt. slabs or ingots but in recent years a considerable amount has been cast in 28 lb. slabs.\n\nThe tin is exported by trading firms in Hong Kong who buy from the refiners. These exporters ask the Hong Kong Government Laboratory to sample and assay parcels of tin lying in the refiner's warehouses. There are, however, one or two exporters who also own refineries, e.g., Chee Hing.\n\nThe Government Laboratory sampler, whose sole duty is sampling, proceeds to the warehouse and, in the presence of a representative of the exporter and of the refiner, samples 10% (by number) of the parcel of slabs, irrespective of the size of the slabs. Messrs. Daniel C. Griffith & Co. agree with me that the method of sampling, which is by drilling, is satisfactory. Each slab of the parcel is stamped by a stamp punch bearing the Hong Kong Laboratory mark.\n\nThe drillings are collected, sealed, and brought to the Government Laboratory, where they are melted under tallow, dip sampled, and assayed by a method which Messrs. Daniel C. Griffith & Co. agree will give accurate results. That the method is accurate has been recently confirmed by duplicate analyses of a piece of tin carried out this Spring in Hong Kong and by Messrs. Griffith.\n\nPage 29", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-553-8 Tin- analyses of assay 11-3-1935 - 4-3-1936.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 551146, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-557-6 Tenure of lands held by War Department 16-1-1936 - 25-1-1937", "page_number": 33, "title": "CO129-557-6 Tenure of lands held by War Department 16-1-1936 - 25-1-1937", "content_text": "to thee in Courts of I was Dept; \n\n33 \n\ninvolving, as it does, certain attitude of the War Dept concessions to me on point (which, in view of the defective state of the records which has given rise to the whole problem, cannot be regarded as undisputable).\n\nFor instance, see that in the other Letter of the 17th Sept. 1929, from the China Command to the Land Officer, which forms enclosure 7 in Military Secretary's despatch No. 108 of the 18th Feb, reference is made to entries in this relevant records that the plot in Everton Road was resumed by the War Dept, cost being debited by the Govt.
