MAGISTRACY, HONGKONG,
15th January, 1898.
SIR,
I have the honour to forward, for the information of His Excellency the Governor, a report of the proceedings at two meetings of Her Majesty's Justices of the Peace held on the 28th of December last and the 7th January, for the purpose of considering an application from one G. II. Schwalm for a licence to carry on the business of a Publican on the premises previously known as the “Grand Hotel” in houses situate at 240, 242, and 244, Queen's Road Central.
The attached extract marked A from the China Mail newspaper gives an almost verbatim report of what took place at the meeting held on the 28th December to which the various reporters of the Press were admitted.
For the purpose, however, of eliciting certain information which for obvious reasons it was considered advisable should be done in private, all except Mr. Schwalm, and his solicitor were requested to retire. Mr. Schwalm was then interrogated and made a statement to the following effect:--
"I kept a hotel at Frankfort where I made a considerable sum of money, but competition being too keen I decided to come to Hongkong. I brought with me a sum of money in gold " which on arrival here I converted into silver amounting to about $6,000. This sum bas "been kept by me in the German Consulate the whole time I have been employed there, "and is there now. It is absolutely my own money, and if I obtain the licence I am
CC
applying for, it will be at once used in paying the sum of $5,800 in fulfilment of the terms " mentioned in the agreement produced."
