R. Sayer, Hong Kong: Birth, Adolescence and Coming of Age, 1937, p. 99. 3 Pottinger to Lord Stanley, (No. 15 of 1844), 28 February 1844, (CO129/5/£174) The occasion of this despatch was Admiral Cochrane's suggestion that East Point would make the best site for a naval depot and that Jardine, Matheson & Co. should be removed to make way: see Cochrane to Pottinger, 23 February 1844 (CO129/5/£182). 4 Gordon to Malcolm, 6 July 1843 (CO129/2/f.138). 5 See Friend of China, 2 November 1850. 6 Canton Register, 29 June 1841. 7 E. J. Yorke, The Princely House, (unpublished), p. 487. 8 China Mail, 20 December 1849. 9 Apparently published in 1861 or early 1862 in either Canton or Hong Kong. It was a reprint of articles written by Tarrant in his newspaper, the Friend of China, at the time when he was publishing it in Canton. For this extract, see Friend of China, 9 November 1861. 10 Canton Press, 19 February 1842. 11 See Hong Kong Register, 15 January 1850. The siting is amply demonstrated from maps also. And see Minute by Pottinger on the question of accommodation for General D'Aguilar, Saltoun's successor: January 1844 (CO129/5/f.93). 22 12 Malcolm to Jardine, Matheson & Co., 17 February 1842 (CO129/5/f.96). 13 See Hong Kong Register, 15 January 1850. 14 Yorke, op. cit., p. 488. 15 Pottinger to Jardine, Matheson & Co., 3 June 1842 (CO129/5/f.224). 16 The firm claimed later that this godown belonged to their Bombay agent, Sir Jamsetjee Jeejeebhoy, without whose consent they were unable to comply with a request that it be sold to the military for use as barracks: see Pottinger to Saltoun, 26 October 1843 (CO129/5/f.524). 17 Yorke, op. cit., p. 491. ================================================================================
