The Extradition Clause of the Supplemental Treaty of Nanking was only abrogated to be re-enacted in substance in the Treaty of Tientsin as appears by the recital in Article I. (See per the Lord Chancellor in Regina v. Wideman, 14, Law Times N. S., as to the French Treaty and the Imperial Act passed to carry it out.)\n\nOrdinance No. 2 of 1850, is moreover impliedly declared to be still in force by Ordinance No. 7 of 1864.\n\n## 4th Point. \nThe offence for which the Prisoner stands committed is if anything Piracy on the high Seas, and, on the authority of \"re Terman\" 33° L. J. M. C. 201 is not within the Treaty and Ordinance No. 2 of 1850, being justiciable here. Phil. 379, 391.\n\n33 L. J. M. C. 201.\n\nThe offence for which the Prisoner stands committed is the one for which his rendition was claimed, namely Murder. Murder is a distinct crime from Piracy though too frequently coupled with it.\n\nThe Prisoner after the commission of the crime returned to China. Afterwards and while a Chinese Tribunal was sitting for the Trial of some of his accomplices, he was found in this Colony. He therefore, \"took refuge\" in Hongkong, within the meaning of Art. 21 of the Treaty of Tientsin.\n\nThe Point here raised involves three Questions.\n\nA. Is the crime disclosed by the Depositions Piracy jure gentium and cognizable by the Hongkong Courts?\n\nB. If it be so, is Piracy jure gentium a crime within the intent of the Treaty of Tientsin?\n\nC. If not within the Treaty, may the Prisoner be surrendered for the crime of Murder in respect of which crime alone the application for his rendition and his commitment are limited, though the facts may also disclose the crime of Piracy jure gentium?\n\n### Firstly as to A.\nThe opinion of the Law officers of the Crown in England in 1852 will be found at page 229 of Mr. Forsyth's Work on Constitutional Law, and is to the effect that in a Case precisely similar to the present one (the sole difference being that the Foreign Coolie Emigrant ship in which the Murder was committed was an American ship instead of a French one) the crime was not cognizable by the Tribunals of Hongkong, and consequently was not Piracy jure gentium. Since In re Ternan, 9 Cox C. C., P. the date of that Opinion the Case of the Joseph Gerrity was decided, in which the Judges held that upon the construction of the word \"Piracy\" in the Schedule of the Treaty between Great Britain and the United States, Piracy jure gentium was not included in the List of Crimes for which Extradition could be demanded.\n\nNaylor. Falmer, 22 L. J. Ex. 331.\n\nIn that Case the Judges were of opinion that the crime committed on board the Joseph Gerrity was if anything, Piracy jure gentium; but the facts were not the same as in the present Case. From the Report of it (nomine, in re Ternan) in 9 Cox. C. C., Crompton J. seems to base his opinion that the crime was Piracy jure gentium on the ground that the Prisoners had surreptitiously embarked in the Joseph Gerrity in the disguise of Passengers.\n\nIn the present Case the depositions show that the vessel carried Emigrants for Peru under Contracts of Service, and that the Coolies seized the ship for the purpose of getting rid of their contracts and returning to their own country. The element of \"universal hostility\" is here wanting to constitute Piracy jure gentium. The seizure was made animo revertendi and not animo furandi though the ship was afterwards plundered. It cannot be said that the Coolies who were engaged in the seizure, were outlaws recognizing no Flag and no Government.\n\nIt is submitted, therefore, that notwithstanding Ternan's Case, the opinion of Sir John Harding, Sir Frederic Thesiger, and Sir FitzRoy Kelly, given in 1852 upon precisely similar facts as those appearing in the depositions before the Court, is still a correct exposition of the Law. Mr. Forsyth has published that Opinion in his recent work on Constitutional Law without any remark, although be frequently refers to Ternan's Case. (As to the Elements of Piracy jure gentium, see note 81 to Wheaton's International Law by Prof. Dana (8th Edition), Kent's Comm. by Abdy p. 428, 1 Wildman's International Law p. 208.)\n\n### Secondly as to B.\nIt must be borne in mind that in the Treaty of Tientsin no particular crimes are named and that our Government has stipulated to deliver to the Chinese Authorities \"Criminals, subjects of China, who shall take refuge in Hongkong,\" without any limitation as to the nature of the crime.\n\nTherefore as far as concerns the nature of the crime charged, it is again submitted that on the face of the Treaty and of the Ordinance, No. 2 of 1850, a Court of Law has no power to release a Chinese Prisoner committed by the Magistrate under that Ordinance if the depositions show that there is any Evidence of the commission by him of a crime known to British Law. On this point the evidence of Mr. H. T. Holland (Legal adviser to the Colonial Office) before the Special Committee of the House of Commons on Extradition which sat in 1867, is as follows (p. 49 of Report) :-\n\n| Question | Answer |\n| --- | --- |\n| M. Layard, Question 985.-Have you a list of the various crimes for which we should give people up under the Treaties and Agreements which exist in China? | We have only the Treaty of Tientsin. |\n| Question 987.-Is there no definition of the crime? | No, none at all. Consequently, two questions arose upon that Article 21; first, whether the Treaty required the extradition of all Chinese Criminals, including Political Offenders; and secondly, whether we were bound to give up Offenders when we knew they were going to be tortured. I believe there has been some difference of opinion here upon that Second Point; but instructions have at all events been given both by Lord Russell and Mr. Cardwell, that Political Offenders should not be given up, and that Persons should not be given up in case where we knew that torture would be applied. |\n| Question 988.--Then in fact the definition of the crime under the Treaty is left entirely to the Colonial Government? | Yes. Upon the face of the Treaty we ought to give up every one who is claimed for any crime at all, because it says simply \"if Criminals, subjects of China, shall take refuge in Hongkong, or in British vessels, they shall be given up.\" |\n\nIt cannot be argued that Piracy jure gentium is not a crime which may be included in extradition Treaties, for the Imperial Extradition Act of 1870, expressly includes it, and it was inserted in the Schedules of Crimes of our recent Hongkong and Macao Extradition Ordinance (`No. 13 of 1870`) by order of the Secretary of State.\n\nTherefore if the terms of the Treaty of Tientsin are large enough to include that crime, and it is contended that they are, as they include all crimes, there is no legal objection to the commitment, on the ground that the depositions disclose a crime of Piracy jure gentium. The decision in Ternan's Case is not in point, as it turns upon the construction of the limited Schedule of Crimes annexed to the Treaty with the United States, whereas there is no limit to the description of crimes for which the surrender of a Chinese may be demanded of the British Government by the Chinese Authorities under the Treaty of Tientsin.\n\n### Thirdly as to C.\nMay the Prisoner be surrendered on the charge of Murder though the evidence supporting it is sufficient also to support a charge of Piracy?\n\nThis question has been answered in the affirmative by the Law Officers of the Crown in England, as may be seen by reference to the Report of the Select Committee on Extradition, p. 54:\n\n| Question | Answer |\n| --- | --- |\n| Examination of the Right Honorable E. Hammond. Question 1052.-What is the next point you wish to refer to? | In question 73 a question was raised as to giving up a man claimed by the United States on a charge of piracy. A person named Locke was charged in the Bahamas with conspiracy and forgery in connection with the destruction by a Confederate privateer the Chesapeake of an American Merchant Vessel the Hanover. That was in 1864 and 1865. His extradition was also demanded by the United States, on charges of Piracy and Murder. In that case it was held, that if the Piracy had been committed on the high seas, though on board an American vessel, it would be triable in a British Court, but if the charge was confined to Murder, though on the high seas, the vessel being an American vessel, over which the United States would have exclusive jurisdiction on the high seas, the man might be given up. The case of the Joseph Gerrity (10 Law Times Reports New Series, page 499) was cited by the Law Officers in support of this Doctrine as regards Piracy, but not as applicable as regards Murder. |\n\nPage 303", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-149 - Lieut Governor Whitfield - 1871 [1-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 290952, "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": "CO129-163 - Sir Kennedy - 1873 [4-6]", "page_number": 119, "title": "CO129-163 - Sir Kennedy - 1873 [4-6]", "content_text": "Governor Sex\n\nArthur Kennedy's despatch\n\n15th April 1873...

It is computed that fully fifteen thousand spectators witnessed the unveiling ceremony. The military, to the number of considerably over two thousand, were placed in position to receive His Excellency, the colours of the Hong Kong Regiment being placed at the entrance to the passage down the ranks at Wardley Street.\n\nAs far as the contour of the ground would allow, the troops were drawn up in line formation (open order), commencing on the right with the Royal Navy; then followed the Royal Marines, Royal Artillery, Hong Kong Artillery (Asiatic Companies), Royal Engineers, including Chinese Company, Hong Kong Regiment, and the Rifle Brigade. The Field Battery of the Hong Kong Volunteer Corps and a Battery of Asiatic Artillery were accommodated on the Cricket Ground, and the Hong Kong Maxim Gun Company and the Maxim guns of the Rifle Brigade and the Hong Kong Regiment were drawn up near the Praya Reclamation Office.\n\nRepresentatives from every Regiment in the Colony were arranged with very pretty effect at the base of the statue.\n\nA few minutes before 6.30 the blast of a bugle announced the arrival of H.E. the Governor. The Governor, accompanied by Captain Sterling, A.D.C., and his native Aide-de-camp,—preceded by Captain A.P. Weiman, A.S.C., who acted as orderly officer—walked through the ranks, the whole of the troops shouldering arms. The troops were in command of Colonel Anstey, Commanding Royal Engineers, in the absence of Major-General Black. When His Excellency reached the Grand Stand, the Royal Standard was unfurled on the flag post at the Grand Stand. His Excellency was received by the Hon. C.P. Chater, as Chairman of the Jubilee Committee, and was escorted to the platform in front of the statue by the Hon. J.H. Stewart Lockhart, Colonial Secretary (Hon. Secretary to the Committee), Hon. Dr. Ho Kai, Hoa, T.H. Whitehead, Hon. E.R. Belilios, Commodore Boyes, R.N., Mr. F.R. Waymouth, R.N., Mr. T. Jackson, Mr. A.P. MacEwen, Mr. J.J. Francis, Q.C., Mr. H.N. Mody, &c., &c. Upon arrival at the platform, Mr. Chater called upon His Excellency to unveil the statue, the spectators on the Grand Stand standing with uncovered heads whilst the speeches, unfortunately inaudible beyond a small circle, were being delivered.\n\nThe Hon. C.P. Chater said: Your Excellency: As Chairman of the Jubilee Committee, and on behalf of the Community of the Colony, I have the great honour of asking you to meet us to-day for the purpose of unveiling the Statue of Her Majesty Queen Victoria. I need not enlarge upon the interest, the fervent and loyal interest, which the residents of this Island take in this ceremonial. I need not state that we are met together to discharge a most unusual and exceptional function. I need hardly remind you, sir, that the event which has given birth to these proceedings is one which, only a few years ago, stirred to the depths the hearts of the British race in every quarter of the world, for was not that great the Jubilee of Our Most Gracious Sovereign? If any proof were needed of the feeling which dominates us at this moment, I would ask you to look at this concourse of Her Majesty's subjects, gathered here to offer their loyal and respectful homage to the Throne. I would ask you to look at the Representatives of the other Powers, who, with fellow-subjects of theirs, who are resident here, have come to do honour to this auspicious event.\n\nYour Excellency, as we all know, Her Majesty's Jubilee occurred in the year 1887, and it will perhaps be not unfitting if I mention the reason why this Statue has not been erected before. It was not because Hong Kong was one whit behind other British Colonies in wishing to prove its dutiful regard for Her who reigns over us; it was not because we did not desire to have in our midst a Memento of the Ruler to whom we owe allegiance. No, Sir. It was because we recognised that such a Statue as this should be placed in an appropriate and conspicuous spot, a spot worthy, if that could be so, by its very position to do honour to the occasion, and until this great work, this reclamation on which we are now standing, was practically finished, we had no such place to offer. Under your Government, this portion of the reclamation has now been happily accomplished, and here in this commanding position, in the best part of this City, named after our Queen, we feel that our Statue could find, in all this Island, no more ennobling site.\n\nSir, with the exception of Newfoundland, which was occupied about 1500, it was not until the early part of the 17th century that Great Britain first began to colonise in earnest. Thenceforward, however, down to the present time, Colony after Colony was acquired, changed by the test existing to-day, her earlier acquisitions were, in the nature of things, comparatively unimportant; but England's Colonies have strengthened with England's strength, and grown with her commercial prosperity and power, until, one Possession after another emerging from its incipient doubts and difficulties, they have gained their present status, and culminated in forging the magnificent chain, which, starting from the Mother Country, now girdles the earth with British soil. Of this chain Hong Kong forms one of the links, a strong and a lasting one, we may be permitted to hope, and to those assembled here, and to you, Sir, as their Governor, it cannot but be interesting to remember that, after Her Majesty's accession to the Throne, this was the first Colony that Great Britain acquired.\n\nYour Excellency, it is not possible to predict from the shadows which the future is casting before what Hong Kong will yet develop into. It is not possible to surmise with any accuracy the part which will ultimately be allotted to her to play in the international theatre of the world. These questions lie in the womb of the future, and the future alone can answer them; but that she is destined to be always an important factor in both Imperial and local concerns, I for one have no doubt whatever. Such is her natural position, lying, as she does, on the fringe of the adjacent Empire; such is her mercantile value, being, as she is, the Eastern gate through which must pass the commerce of the West, that it is hardly too much to believe that she must of necessity always constitute an element to be carefully and fully weighed.\n\nGreat and important movements have lately taken place in the Far East, possibly greater and more important changes yet are even now in contemplation which will enforce the gravest attention of Diplomacy, and Her Majesty's Government, in its decision upon those events, in its determination of the path to pursue, can hardly omit Hong Kong from its serious consideration. In saying this, I do not forget that her place in the Colonies of the Crown, if won in some part by her own vigour, is largely due to her standing in line with those other Colonies which together constitute the Brotherhood known to-day as Greater Britain.\n\nSir, in the evolution of time, generation will succeed generation in Hong Kong, new firms will arise, new projects will be formed; new personalities will seek to advance the Colony's influence and promote her enterprise, long after names, familiar enough now, have vanished into ...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-272 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1896 [5-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 410044, "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": "CO129-341 - Acting Governor May Governor Lugard - 1907 [7-10]", "page_number": 390, "title": "CO129-341 - Acting Governor May Governor Lugard - 1907 [7-10]", "content_text": "closure 9.\n\nOP Y.\n\n385\n\n1 meriw berablenoo ed (Ilw goltsoliqqe of .entado tuontia\n\n-\n\n•qu belli” al astons to redmun boði tí\n\na svib ruigo to moleravnoo eɗt ebrenut ¤Å\n\nTedrwa natmøllot 5:= aetone¬A amillə? miqo Isto!??0 otmi\n\naetono«A OSI vIeman bewolle s✅ IIIw yłło sɗt ebletuo bna shlani\n\nastitisoof duszattib quot al betertia ed of ytio et soleni\n\nover of viIsool dos „Atro2 ban‚déroï „Ja>,JanK Viomok\n\no al gtio eft ablativo astonsea vahid .aetoneṛA OE\n\nytiIsool dose, 02 bin stroll,Jae¥,Jesi yforum astMIIRDOI\n\noteving on dødt bredatabru teum aðnsiɔtelt .Belomena OS evæɗ of\n\nfristettii\n\nenowns,b wolls at mulgo to sina sɗt zo?
